Descriptive Statistical Analysis Report on the Results of Questionnaire and Observations on Patients With Physiological Halitosis Who Visited the KUMC Halitosis Clinic- A Retrospective Study

Background: We initiated to prepare the basic data that could help us to understand the characteristics of patients with physiological halitosis symptoms in Korea and aid in explaining the causes of these symptoms. Methods: We collected questionnaire and dietary analysis results from the data of 246 adult patients diagnosed with physiological halitosis symptoms, collected the data from the patients’ salivary measurements and the analysis data of patients’ tongue and throat management status. Using the SPSS (IBM SPSS™, Ver. 22.0) program, we performed a frequency analysis, calculating the correlation coefficient Phi with an independence test.Results: The mean age and one standard deviation of 246 patients with physiological halitosis was 41.85±11.63 years. The proportion of women, the proportion of patients who replaced breakfast with fast food or skipped breakfast, with beverage drinking habits such as coffee, tea, or carbonated drink, with irregular or insufficient consumption of water, who recognized their own oral malodor, suffering anxiety or stress over oral malodor, with an introverted personality, with insufficient unstimulated salivation volume, with incorrect tongue management, and with PND (Postnasal drip) or PTC (Posterior Tongue Coating) were all statistically analyzed to be significant (p < 0.05). As a result of the correlation analysis, the Phi values of the seven pairs of the bivariate variables were from 0.137 to 0.196, and the Phi values of the five pairs of the bivariate variables - the Phi value between the breakfast pattern variable and the regular diet variable, the Phi value between the stimulating menu variable and the drinking variable, the Phi value between the unstimulated saliva variable and the stimulated saliva variable, the Phi value between the unstimulated saliva variable and the sedimentation ratio of saliva variable, and the Phi value between the stimulated saliva variable and the sedimentation ratio of saliva variable - were from 0.203 to 0.394 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: We could suggest the 10 potential common risk factors related to physiological halitosis symptom, and the five pairs of variables with Phi values ranging from 0.20 to 0.40 could be judged to have a moderate correlation.

Avaliação funcional após uso de placa oclusal em pacientes com disfuncão temporomandibular

This study aimed to evaluate the amplitude and pattern of mouth opening in patients treated with occlusal plaque (OP) after 1 and 3 months of treatment. The mouth opening pattern was assessed using the metric method and the mouth opening amplitude of 23 patients treated with occlusal plaque (OP; N = 23). All patients were diagnosed with TMD according to axis 1 of the RDC/TMD (Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders). The collected data were evaluated using the SPSS program using the Wilcoxon, Kruskal Wallis, and Fisher’s exact Chi Square tests. The OP showed a satisfactory performance in the opening pattern variable, maintaining the same pattern as the patient throughout the treatment time (P = 0.003). In the variable of maximum opening amplitude, the therapy showed a significant improvement in amplitude gain in the initial time and after one month of therapy (P = 0.002), maintaining the amplitude until the third month, without presenting significant gain. It was concluded that OP has a satisfactory performance for the treatment of TMD when the opening pattern and the mean maximum opening amplitude are analyzed without assistance.

Factors affecting the implementation of financial accounting standards for MSMEs with environmental uncertainty as moderating variables

This study aims to test and provide empirical evidence regarding the effect of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, socialization of SAK EMKM, understanding of accounting, level of education about the intention of implementing SAK EMKM by MSME owners with environmental uncertainty as a moderating variable. This study has some effect relationship pattern variable against another, either directly or through other variables as moderation. The results showed that perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and understanding of accounting had an effect on the intention to apply SAK EMKM, while the socialization of SAK EMKM and the level of education had no effect on the intention to apply SAK EMKM. The results of the moderating variable test show that environmental uncertainty cannot moderate the perceived usefulness, perceived convenience, socialization of SAK EMKM, understanding of accounting, and the level of education in the application of SAK EMKM.

How Consistency in Closeness to God Predicts Psychological Resources and Life Satisfaction: Findings from the National Study of Youth and Religion

With survey data from the National Study of Youth and Religion (NSYR), this study investigates the association between across-time consistency in closeness to God and well-being. I focus on God-believing individuals who are Protestant, Catholic, or Latter-day Saint, and present across Waves 1–3 (n = 1,333). Outcomes include Wave 3 psychological resources (i.e., life purpose and personal mastery) and life satisfaction. Key predictors include two novel indicators of across-time consistency in closeness to God: (1) a four-category pattern variable and (2) a discrete numeric summary score. The pattern variable indicates respondents who become less close to God across time fare worse than those who remain consistently close to God. In addition, respondents consistently distant from God did not differ from their consistently close counterparts in terms of life purpose and personal mastery. The summary score indicates high levels of consistency in closeness to God predict high levels of life purpose and satisfaction.

The data collection method used in this study is to use a questionnaire and processed with simple regression analysis. Test research instruments with validity and reliability tests. Hypothesis testing uses t test (partial), and analysis of the coefficient of determination with the help of SPSS 21 for Windows software. Descriptive test results show that respondents who gave an assessment of communication indicators from the top down in the high category were 8 people (16%), respondents who gave ratings in the medium category were 35 people (70%), and respondents who gave ratings in the low category is 7 people (14%). Respondents who gave an assessment of the communication pattern variables from the bottom up in the high category were 8 people (16%), respondents who gave an assessment of the communication pattern variables from the bottom up in the medium category were 34 people (68%), and respondents who gave assessment in the low category as many as 8 people (16%). Respondents who gave an assessment of the variable indicators of horizontal communication patterns in the high category were 8 people (16%), respondents who gave ratings in the medium category were 35 people (70%), and respondents who gave ratings in the low category were 7 people (14%). The majority of horizontal communication patterns are rated in the medium category (70%). Based on the results of the coefficient test, the application of communication patterns contributes an effect of 48.9% to employee performance, while the rest of 100% - 48.9% = 51.1%, is caused by other variables not examined. Based on the results of the t test above it can be seen that the Communication Pattern variable (X) has a thitung of 6.779> ttable 1.667. This means that the communication pattern variable has a positive effect on employee performance, and a significant result is obtained that indicates the value of 0,000 <0.05, which means that there is a significant influence between communication patterns and employee performance. This shows that Ho was rejected and Ha was accepted, meaning that the variable implementation of communication patterns had a positive effect on employee performance at the Public Service Communication Bureau of the Ministry of Education and Culture in Jakarta. Thus, if the value of the communication pattern rises, employee performance will increase significantly. Keywords: Communication Patterns, Employee Job Performance
