Background & Aim:Dentists are exposed to stress and tension as they have a close contact with the patients. The increase in stress may affect the dentists’ performance and can be a major threat to the physical and mental health of the patients. Pediatric dentistry requires experience, without which the amateur dentists and students feel lack of self-confidence, and consequently be unable to deal with problematic patients. There is no study investigating stress during pediatric dentistry among the dentistry students as well as general and pediatric dentists in Iran. Regarding the importance ofthis subject, we aimed to evaluate the stress level among the aforementioned three dental service providers during pediatric dentistry.Materials & Methods:This study was conducted on 300 dentistry students, general dentists, and pediatric dental specialists in Kerman, Iran. The data were collected using a questionnaire entailing demographic information and therapeutic practices of pediatric dentistry. After checking the participant’s comments, the data were analyzed usingSPSSversion 16 (IBM, Texas, USA).Results:According to the results, the mean age of the participants was 28±5 years. Out of the 300 participants, 113 (37.7%) and 178 (59.3%) cases were male and female, respectively, and 9 (3%) participants did not fill out this part. Furthermore, 108 (36%), 173 (57.7%), 6 (2%), and 10 (3.3%) subjects were general students, general dentists, residents, and pediatric residents, respectively. Anesthesia injection in the mandible for an anxious child and amalgam restoration in the mandible led to the highest and lowest stress levels in the participants, respectively. Furthermore, the mean stress levels were significantly different between the practices performed in the maxilla and mandible (P<0.001). In addition, the females showed a significantly higher level of stress, compared to the males (P<0.001). The specialists had significantly lower stress than the dentistry students and general dentists (P<0.001).Conclusion:As the findings indicated, anesthetic injection to a nervous infant was the most stressful practice in pediatric dentistry. The results also showed that the pediatric dental specialists had lower stress level, compared to the students and general dentists.

Self-disclosure therapy is stress therapy through self-disclosure, which is the activity of sharing familiar feelings with others through telling stories, communicating deeply, and allowing themselves to be known by others. The ability to express oneself, such as feelings and thoughts, to others is recognized as important. This study aims to determine the effect of self-disclosure therapy on adolescents who experience stress on reducing stress levels. This study used a quasi experimental design. The sample in this study were teenagers, amounting to 29 respondents. In this study, respondents were given a pre-test before being given self-disclosure therapy. Then the respondent is given self-disclosure therapy. After being given therapy, the respondent is given a post test, then the stress level is measured. The results showed that there was an effect of self disclosure on adolescents who experienced stress. This can be seen from the mean stress level before self-disclosure therapy, the mean stress level (24.31) and after the self-disclosure therapy, the mean stress level (16.34). The results of statistical tests using the Man-Wilney test showed that the P value = 0.000, which means that there is a significant effect of providing self-disclosure therapy on reducing stress levels in adolescents who experience stress. It is hoped that self-disclosure therapy can be used as an alternative therapy to reduce stress levels in adolescents. Keywords: Self Disclousure; Stress; Adolescencts

Postpartum stress is very likely to take place as there are fluctuations in terms of feelings, pressure, anxiety, and guilt that may result in hypogalactia without proper treatment. Hypogalactia itself is an issue breastfeeding mothers face that may stall toddlers’ growth, and hence, the future of a nation. This research aims to lower stress levels in hypogalactia cases. It employs nor pharmacological methods of electric and massage stimulation models to activate the biomechanical, psychological, and neurological systems within the body. The electric stimulation model was performed for 10 minutes in acupoints SI, ST, and SP at 0.5 watts frequency. Meanwhile, the massage stimulation was performed for 30 minutes in acupoints GB, BL, ST, CV, and ST. Samples were divided into intervention and control groups, both characteristics and difference tests were performed. Paired t-test results show that there is a significant difference (p<0.05) in stress level with the treatment using both electric and massage stimulation models. Meanwhile, the unpaired t-test results also show differences in stress levels before and after treatment for each group, but the mean difference shows a decrease of 6.249. Therefore, it can be concluded that both electric and massage stimulation models lower stress levels for hypogalactia cases.

Background: Scabies is one of the most common skin diseases in our country. It is caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei var hominis, which is an ecto-parasite infesting the epidermis. Scabies is highly contagious. Prevalence is high in congested or densely populated areas. Individuals with close contact with an affected person should be treated with scabicidal which is available in both oral and topical formulations. The only oral but highly effective scabicidal known to date is Ivermectin. Amongst topical preparations, Permethrin 5 % cream is the treatment of choice. Objective: To evaluate the efficacy & safety of oral Ivermectin compared to topical Permethrin in the treatment of scabies. Methodology: This prospective, non-randomized study was conducted at the out-patient department of Dermatology and Venereology of Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College & Hospital over a period of 6 months, from August 2016 to January 2017. The study population consisted of one hundred patients having scabies, enrolled according to inclusion criteria. They were divided into two groups. group A was subjected to oral Ivermectin and the group B to Permethrin 5% cream. Patients were followed up on day 7 and 14 for assessment of efficacy and safety. Result: The mean scoring with SD in group A (Ivermectin) and group B (Permethrin) were 8.26 ± 2.22 and 7.59 ± 2.01 respectively at the time of observation. The difference between the mean score of the two group is not significant (p=0.117) the mean scoring with SD in group A and group B were 4.54 ± 2.05 and 1.64 ± 1.84 respectively at 7thdays. The difference between the mean score of the two group is significant (p<0.001). The mean scoring with SD in group A and group B were 2.68± 2.35 and .36± 1.10 respectively at 14th day difference between the mean score of the group is significant (p<0.001). Conclusion: Topical application of permethrin 5% cream is more effective and safer than oral Ivermectin in the treatment of scabies. TAJ 2020; 33(1): 41-47

AbstractRecent investigations have shown that various factors may affect the shear strength of glacial till and that these factors may be involved in the drumlin-forming process. The presence of frozen till in the deforming zone, variation in pore-water pressure in the till, and the occurrence of random patches of dense stony-till texture have been considered. The occurrence of dense stony till may relate to the dilatancy hypothesis and can be considered a likely drumlin-forming factor within the region of critical stress levels. The up-glacier stress level now appears to be the more important, and to provide a sharper division between drumlin-forming and non-drumlin-forming conditions.

Sample Allocation

We present two alternative perspectives to the current way of planning for constant-stress accelerated life tests (CSALTs) and step-stress ALT (SSALT). In 3-stress CSALT, we consider test plans that not only optimize the stress levels but also optimize the sample allocation. The resulting allocations also limit the chances of inconsistency when data are plotted on a probability plot. For SSALT, we consider test plans that not only optimize both stress levels and holding times, but also achieve a target acceleration factor that meets the test time constraint with the desirable fraction of failure. The results for both problems suggest that the statistically optimal way to increase acceleration factor in an ALT is to increase lower stress levels and; in the case of CSALT, to decrease their initial sample allocations; in the case of SSALT, to reduce their initial hold times. Both problems are formulated as constrained nonlinear programs.

The present study aimed to identify the occupational stress level of occupational education female and male teachers. It also aimed to identify whether there is any difference between the respondents’ occupational stress levels which can be attributed to their (gender, experience or school stage). The study’s population consists from all the all the occupational education female and male teachers who work at the public schools affiliated with the first and second directorates of education in Irbid (i.e. 320 teachers). As for the sample, it consists from 100 female and male teachers. Those teachers were selected through using the random stratified sampling method. Those teachers were selected from the public schools affiliated with the first and second directorates of education in Irbid. The researchers chose a descriptive survey research design. They developed an instrument (i.e. a questionnaire) for measuring the occupational stress level of teachers. It was found that the occupational stress level of the occupational education female and male teachers is high. It was found that there is a statistically significant difference between the respondents’ occupational stress levels which can be attributed to gender. The latter difference is for the favor of males.  It was found that there is a statistically significant difference between the respondents’ occupational stress levels which can be attributed to experience. The latter difference is for the favor of the ones who possess moderate experience. It was found that there is a statistically significant difference between the respondents’ occupational stress levels which can be attributed to the school stage. The latter difference is for the favor of the lower primary teachers. In the light of the aforementioned results, the researchers recommend exerting effort to reduce the occupational stress level of occupational education female and male teachers. Such efforts include creating convenient psychological and occupational environments. The researchers also recommend providing the lower primary teachers with attention by the Ministry of Education in Jordan. That can be done through providing those teachers with training & development programs. That can be also done through raising their socio-economic levels and providing them with financial & moral incentives & rewards.
