Objectives: To determine mean change in sagittal and vertical skeletal dimension in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with all four first premolar extractions. Study Design: Quasi-experimental study design. Setting: Department of Orthodontics, Dr. Ishrat-Ul-Ebad Khan Institute of Oral Health Sciences, Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi. Period: Six months from 18th August 2015 to 18th February 2016. Material & Methods:  50 cases treated with all first premolar extractions were included in this study. The analysis was done on pretreatment cephalogram taken at time of enrolment and post treatment lateral cephalogram taken after 12 months of orthodontic treatment and then their measurements were compared to find out changes in the sagittal and vertical dimension. Results: Pre and post mean SNA, SNB, ANB and Pog-Nperp was not significant  while mean A-Nperp was significantly changed after 12 month treatment (p=0.002). Regarding angular measurement, pre and post mean SNMP, FHMP, MMA, Go-OP, SN-OP, Y axis was not significant while mean SN-PP, UI_SN, IMPA was significantly reduced after 12 month treatment. Similarly vertical measurement, pre and post mean LAFH, PFH was not significant while mean UAFH and, TAFH was significantly reduced after 12 months of treatment. Conclusion: Sagittal and vertical skeletal dimension showed no significant change in patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with all four first premolar extractions. Some degree of extrusion was noted in all orthodontic patients who have undergone all four first premolar extractions.

Background Alcohol warning labels are a promising, well-targeted strategy to increase public awareness of alcohol-related health risks and support more informed and safer use. However, evidence of their effectiveness in real-world settings remains limited and inconclusive. Objective This paper presents a protocol for a real-world study examining the population-level impact of enhanced alcohol warning labels with a cancer message; national drinking guidelines; and standard drink information on attention, processing, and alcohol-related behaviors among consumers in Canada. Postimplementation modifications to the original protocol due to interference by national alcohol industry representatives are also described. Methods This quasi-experimental study involved partnering with local governments in two northern Canadian territories already applying alcohol warning labels on alcohol containers for sale in liquor stores. The study tested an 8-month intervention consisting of three new enhanced, rotating alcohol warning labels in an intervention site (Whitehorse, Yukon) relative to a comparison site (Yellowknife, Northwest Territories) where labelling practices would remain unchanged. Pre-post surveys were conducted at both sites to measure changes in awareness and processing of label messages, alcohol-related knowledge, and behaviors. Liquor store transaction data were collected from both sites to assess changes in population-level alcohol consumption. The intervention was successfully implemented for 1 month before it was halted due to complaints from the alcohol industry. The government of the intervention site allowed the study to proceed after a 2-month pause, on the condition that the cancer warning label was removed from rotation. Modifications to the protocol included applying the two remaining enhanced labels for the balance of the intervention and adding a third wave of surveys during the 2-month pause to capture any impact of the cancer label. Results This study protocol describes a real-world quasi-experimental study that aimed to test the effectiveness of new enhanced alcohol warning labels as a tool to support consumers in making more informed and safer alcohol choices. Alcohol industry interference shortly after implementation compromised both the intervention and the original study design; however, the study design was modified to enable completion of three waves of surveys with cohort participants (n=2049) and meet the study aims. Conclusions Findings from this study will directly inform alcohol labelling policies in Canada and internationally and provide further insight into the alcohol industry’s attempts to disrupt research in this area. Additional unimpeded real-world evaluations of enhanced alcohol warning labels are recommended. International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID) RR1-10.2196/16320

Abstract: Disaster Preparedness, Disaster Preparedness Indoor Simulation, Volunteer Corps (KSR). The entire people of Indonesia are expected to prepare for disasters. This is done because Indonesia is a country with a fairly high vulnerability to disasters. All elements of society is obliged to make successful of disaster preparedness program. In terms of disaster preparedness, society was divided into groups of masyarakat terlatih, awam khusus and awam. Surakarta Health Polytechnic has been successfully empower youth element as health volunteers through disaster preparedness training activities incorporated in the activities of KSR Unit Jurusan Keperawatan Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta. The activities carried out periodically and continuously in the implementation of the program, including disaster preparedness. Purpose to evaluate the increase in disaster preparedness through disaster preparedness indoor simulation method at KSR Unit Jurusan Keperawatan Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta. The study was comparative experimental study design with one group pretest-posttest with cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all members of KSR Unit Jurusan Keperawatan Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta (150 people). The average increase in value between pretest and posttest is 1.31. T test results that the value t = 17.480 > t table (0.05, df 14) = 1,761 with a 95% confidence level showed α = 0.00 <0.05. There was a significant increase in disaster preparedness through disaster preparedness indoor simulation method in KSR Unit Jurusan Keperawatan Poltekkes Kemenkes Surakarta.

This study aims to know the effect of cooperative method and self-efficacy toward writing narrative ability. The method used was experimental study design using treatment by level 2x2 with analysis testing ANAVA. The results showed that:(1) the ability to write a narrative that students learn the concept sentence method is higher than narrative writing skills of students who are learning to use a make a match method, (2) there is an interaction effect between cooperative method and self-efficacy toward writing narrative ability, (3) the ability to write a narrative that students learn the of concept sentence is higher than the group of students who learn the make a match for students who have high selfefficacy, (4) the ability to write a narrative that students learn the make a match is higher than the group of students who learn the concept sentence for students who have low self-efficacy. Based on the results of this study it was concluded that the cooperative method and self-efficacy influence the students’ writing ability. Recommendation for teachers is to apply the concept sentence as a way to improve students’ writing narrative abilities.
