Aim-To identify strategies for promoting better oral health research in India using Delphi technique. Methods-The study involved a panel of 25 experts who are asked to complete Delphi questionnaire. Domains included were current status of research, constraints in promoting research, role of educational institutions in promoting research and development of policies to strengthen the research infrastructure and capacity. Quantitative analysis was made to obtain consensus. Results-The study was conducted in two rounds. Strong consensus was obtained on the benets of research, barriers with respect to conducting research like constraints in publication and lack of funding, importance of teaching research methodology and biostatistics in educational institutions, need for curriculum up gradation as well as collaborative efforts of various stake holders. Conclusion-Our study unearthed a lot of gaps in oral health research. Addressing these gaps would help decision makers in formulating new strategies to strengthen the research

Lecturers are one of the essential components in a system of organizing education in higher education. The main task of lecturers is as educators, lecturers carry out their duties and responsibilities to educate students to become individuals who have good abilities and potential. Given the importance of the role of lecturers, their existence in educational institutions must be able to motivate themselves and develop themselves, useful for maximizing work. In order to know the performance of the lecturers, it is necessary to evaluate the best lecturers at STIKOM Tunas Bangsa. Decision Support System (SPK) is a system that can be used by decision makers to decide on things from data and structured models. MOORA Method (Multi-Objective Optimization on the basis of Ratio Analysis) is a multi-objective system that optimizes two or more conflicting attributes simultaneously. By applying the MOORA method, the method can determine the best lecturer effectively and efficiently in STIKOM Tunas Bangsa Pematangsiantar.

Provincial Councils

This article describes two patient advisory councils (PACs) in Canada in order to contribute to the limited evidence base on how they might facilitate patient engagement in health research. Specifically, members of PACs from Newfoundland and Labrador and Alberta describe their councils’ governance structure, primary functions, creation and composition, and recount specific research-related activities with which they have been involved. Key challenges of these councils and facilitators of their use are also presented. Finally, members from both councils recount lessons learned and offer suggestions for others interested in advisory councils as a mechanism for patient engagement in any health research project. Members believe patient engagement can result in better quality research and encourage decision makers and researchers to utilize patients’ valuable input to inform health system changes and drive priorities at a policy level.

Google Classroom is to offer a platform of blended learning in schools in order to simplify creating assignments and getting the grade out to the students in a paperless way. There are many facilities provided by Google classroom, they are: it will make easier for teachers to carry out learning activities, the intended learning is not only in class, but also outside the classroom because students can learn wherever and whenever by accessing google classroom online. Subject that relating to discuss as in the mobile that emphasize the acquisition of observational skills; and allow students to see the concept of teaching and learning material. The main purpose of the study is to investigate a role of Google classroom in English Language Teaching (ELT). The data was collected through an interview with 16 respondents. This study helped the decision makers of the higher educational institutions to have a better understanding of the role of using Google classroom by their students. It is assumed that it helped in measuring the level of students’ attention to the previously mentioned technology.

Despite many discoveries over the past 20 years regarding the etio-pathogenesis of periodontal and peri-implant diseases, as well as significant advances in our understanding of microbial biofilms, the incidence of these pathologies still continues to rise. This review presents a general overview of the main protagonists and phenomena involved in oral health and disease. A special emphasis on the role of certain keystone pathogens in periodontitis and peri-implantitis is underlined. Their capacity to bring a dysregulation of the homeostasis with their host and the microbial biofilm lifestyle are also discussed. Finally, the current treatment principles of periodontitis and peri-implantitis are presented and their limits exposed. This leads to realize that new strategies must be developed and studied to overcome the shortcomings of existing approaches.

Abstract. Background: Little is known about the role of resilience in the likelihood of suicidal ideation (SI) over time. Aims: We examined the association between resilience and SI in a young-adult cohort over 4 years. Our objectives were to determine whether resilience was associated with SI at follow-up or, conversely, whether SI was associated with lowered resilience at follow-up. Method: Participants were selected from the Personality and Total Health (PATH) Through Life Project from Canberra and Queanbeyan, Australia, aged 28–32 years at the first time point and 32–36 at the second. Multinomial, linear, and binary regression analyses explored the association between resilience and SI over two time points. Models were adjusted for suicidality risk factors. Results: While unadjusted analyses identified associations between resilience and SI, these effects were fully explained by the inclusion of other suicidality risk factors. Conclusion: Despite strong cross-sectional associations, resilience and SI appear to be unrelated in a longitudinal context, once risk/resilience factors are controlled for. As independent indicators of psychological well-being, suicidality and resilience are essential if current status is to be captured. However, the addition of other factors (e.g., support, mastery) makes this association tenuous. Consequently, resilience per se may not be protective of SI.
