This experimental study investigates the use of oral communication strategies (CSs) by Spanish learners of English and the effect of the conducted oral CSs training on the subjects’ use of the CSs. This study is adding value to the fields of teaching and communication by including a training on the use of communication strategies instead of observation. It also counts with data collected from a total of 116 participants and 464 protocols including 2 high and 2 low proficient groups. Our subjects took part in a training on CSs before setting a pre and post-test (interview and storytelling). To compare the results of the use of CSs before and after the training for each of the levels and also manage a cross-sectional comparison between the groups, the researchers used the Canonical Biplot free program. The results of this empirical study proved the effectiveness of the CSs training. It also confirmed that the high proficient group benefited more from the training when compared to the low proficient students.

Abstract: The most common periodontal disease is gingivitis which is caused by biofilm accumulation on plaque around the gingival margin and inflammatory response to bacteria. Scaling is used to eliminate bacterial and calculus deposits that cause gingivitis. This study was aimed to determine the effectiveness of scaling in gingivitis treatment. This was a pre-experimental study with one group pre and post test design. Samples were obtained by using total sampling technique. There were 30 patients aged 17-45 years that had scaling performed on them at RSGM in 2019. Gingivitis was observed before and after scaling using the modified gingival index (MGI). The results showed that before scaling, there were mild gingivitis 23.30%, moderate gingivitis 70%, and severe gingivitis 6.70%. Two days after scaling, mild gingivitis and moderate gingivitis were observed 50% each. The paired sample t-test showed a p-value of 0.000. In conclusion, scaling is effective in gingivitis treatment based on the assessment using the modified gingival index.Keywords: gingivitis, scaling, modified gingival index Abstrak: Penyakit periodontal yang paling sering dijumpai yakni gingivitis (peradangan gingiva).

This study reports an empirical study of an explicit instruction of corpus-aided Business English collocations and verifies its effectiveness in improving learners’ collocation awareness and learner autonomy, as a result of which is significant improvement of learners’ collocation competence. An eight-week instruction in keywords’ collocations, with the help of AntConc and self-constructed Business English Pedagogical Corpus combined with COCA general corpus and Wikipedia corpus, was imparted to 23 undergraduate learners majoring in Business English in Guangdong University of Foreign Studies. They took the collocation competence pre-test and post-test before and after the teaching experiment which was phased into two themes and submitted learning reflective journals at the end of each theme instruction and answered a questionnaire at the final end. The data from the tests, reflective journals and questionnaire collaboratively suggest that given appropriate guidance EFL Business English learners can take a more active role in raising their collocation awareness and developing learner autonomy and thus improve their collocation competence significantly. The results from the test analysis also indicate that the corpus-aided Business English collocation pedagogy is proved to be more effective for intermediate and advanced level learners rather than lower level ones. The findings have pedagogical implications for EFL Business English instructors and learners.

Masyarakat pelaku swamedikasi sangat rentan menggunakan obat tidak rasional disebabkan tidak adanya pemberian informasi penggunaan obat yang benar. Beberapa metode dapat diimplementasikan sebagai sarana Apoteker untuk mengedukasi masyarakat terkait penggunaan obat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi peningkatan pengetahuan ibu rumah tangga di daerah bantaran sungai Kemuning Banjarbaru akan penggunaan obat setelah diberikan intervensi oleh Apoteker dalam bentuk CBIA dan booklet. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian non-ekperimental dengan desain penelitian cross-sectional yang dilakukan terhadap 33 responden kelompok CBIA dan 30 responden kelompok booklet. Tingkat pengetahuan sebelum dan sesudah intervensi diukur dengan menggunakan kuisioner. Rata-rata skor pretest kelompok CBIA dan booklet adalah 3.67 dan 5.43, sedangkan rata-rata skor post-test kelompok CBIA dan booklet adalah 6.87 dan 8.97 (p<0.01). Perbandingan rata-rata peningkatan skor pengetahuan setelah intervensi CBIA adalah 3.21 ± 2.47 dan booklet adalah 3.53 ± 1.89 (p=0.567). Dapat disimpulkan bahwa model intervensi CBIA dan booklet dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan penggunaan obat secara signifikan, dan kedua metode tersebut sama baiknya untuk digunakan sebagai metode intervensi apoteker dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan pasien akan pengobatan. Kata kunci: CBIA, booklet, pengetahuan, obat, Apoteker  ABSTRACT The self-medication practice in South Kalimantan is relatively high. People who are self-medicated are very vulnerable to irrational drug use because there is no provision of information on the correct drug use. Several methods can be implemented by pharmacists to educate the public regarding drug use. This study aims to evaluate the increase in drug use knowledge of housewives in the Kemuning riverbank area of Banjarbaru after being given intervention by Pharmacists in the form of CBIA and booklets. This research is a non-experimental study with a cross-sectional research design conducted on 33 CBIA group respondents and 30 respondents booklet groups. The level of knowledge before and after the intervention was measured using a questionnaire. The average pretest scores of CBIA and booklet groups were 3.67 and 5.43, while the average post-test scores of CBIA and booklet groups were 6.87 and 8.97 (p <0.01). Comparison of the average increase in knowledge score after CBIA intervention was 3.21 ± 2.47 and the booklet was 3.53 ± 1.89 (p = 0.567). It can be concluded that CBIA and booklet intervention models can significantly improve knowledge of drug use, and both methods are equally good for use as pharmacist intervention methods in increasing patient knowledge of treatment. Keywords: CBIA, booklet, knowledge, medicine, pharmacist

Background: Resident medical officers play a critical role in facilitating conversion of potential deceased donors to actual donors. Since residency is the last opportunity for formal medical training, we contemplated deficiencies in knowledge might originate and a session of sensitization would disseminate updated information about organ donation. This study aims to assess the change in the knowledge and attitude of resident doctors towards organ donation after a programme of sensitization.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in March 2018 among newly inducted resident medical officers of KEM Hospital, Mumbai, after obtaining the institutional ethical approval and written informed consent. Using complete enumeration, 75 newly inducted resident doctors were approached out of which 49 consented to participate in the study. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge and perception before and after a programme of sensitization using a pre-test post-test study design.Results: Few numbers (18.36%) of resident doctors were aware of the various terminologies related to organ donation. There are lacunae in knowledge about difference between brainstem death, cardiac death and the organs that can be donated in each case. Moreover, participants who were initially unwilling to pledge for organ donation, were ready to pledge their organs post the sensitisation session (Z=-3.162, p=0.002).Conclusions: Participants knowledge improved over the programme of sensitization.
