Oral Health Care in Pregnancy, ACOG Fellow Perspectives [27N

INTRODUCTION: The American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology recommends routine oral health care during pregnancy. Despite this recommendation, many pregnant women do not receive routine dental care. The reasons for discordance are complex. This study, conducted in conjunction with the ACOG District XII Committee on Healthcare of Underserved Women, surveyed ACOG District XII Fellows regarding their perceptions of factors that impact oral health care in pregnancy. METHODS: Between May and October 2019, ACOG District XII Fellows were asked to participate in an anonymous electronic survey on their practices regarding oral health in pregnancy. IRB approval was obtained. Descriptive statistics were estimated using SPSS (V25). RESULTS: 107 ACOG Fellows completed this survey. Twenty-one percent of Fellows reported receiving education/training related to oral health in pregnancy. Less than half (48%) of Fellows reported asking oral health screening questions, 60% recommend that women undergo routine dental cleaning, and 65% reported counseling patients on the importance of oral health in pregnancy. Seventeen percent (17%) reported insufficient clinic time and 17% of Fellows reported lack of accepting dentists as reasons for not discussing oral health during prenatal care. However, 55% of Fellows reported patients would easily find an accepting dentist. CONCLUSION: District XII ACOG Fellows acknowledge the importance of routine oral health care in pregnancy. However, they perceive barriers to recommending care such as limited clinic time and patient access. Offering oral health education during provider training could improve screening rates and counseling. Additionally, increasing access to dental care could improve overall oral health in pregnant women.

The Use of Oral Questioning in Inculcating Values in Mathematics for Primary School Students

It is very important to inculcate values in the teaching of mathematics, and one of the ways to inculcate values is through oral questioning. Thus, this study was conducted to explore mathematics teachers' awareness in inculcating values through oral questioning activities. The study also seeks to determine the types of oral questions related to values that are implemented by the teachers in the teaching of mathematics. This case study involved six mathematics teachers from six primary schools in a district in Malaysia, who were selected using purposive sampling method. The data collection comprised of non-participant observations, semi-structured interviews and field notes. A continuous comparative method was performed by the researchers using Atlas.ti 8 software to obtain themes and sub-themes. The study found that the mathematics teachers were aware of the importance of inculcating values in the oral questioning process. In addition, there were three types of value-related oral questions posed by teachers as a way to inculcate values in students, namely oral questions related to pure values, oral questions related to values in daily life, and oral questions related to intrinsic mathematical values. Therefore, mathematics teachers should maximize the use of oral questions as a way to inculcate the values of mathematics so that students can appreciate mathematics more meaningfully while at the same time fostering their love towards mathematics.

Representación paritaria de género vs. participación pública de las diputadas. Análisis de caso de las dos sesiones plenarias de la XIII legislatura en España

Purpose: The objective of this article is to prove if in the XIII Legislature in Spain, the most egalitarian in Europe, there is a relationship between the representation of Spanish deputies and their public participation, done through the formulation of oral questions in the two plenary sessions held.Findings:The research has been articulated with a double approach. First, comparing the number of deputies in the XIII Legislature with the oral questions made, separating them by gender and parliamentary groups. Secondly, with in-depth interviews that broaden the debate about representation of women in power, as well as their public communication.Research limitations/implications: The results invite us to question whether women’s political representation is aligned with their public participation: and the proof that there are still obstacles to women’s political participation.Limitations / Implications:The number of women who have presented oral questions by parliamentary group has been left aside. This article is limited to the participation of deputies in general, focusing on representation by gender and social representation, and not by parliamentary group.Originality/value:The presence of Spanish women in the public arena has been increasing. This article proofs that their public participation through the formulation of oral questions in plenary sessions, at a time when Spain was news for being the most equal in Europe. This means a double challenge: there are more women MPs, but that they can also participate and influence. Moving from perception to reality offers the opportunity to reduce gender gaps.

The Effect Of The Implementation Of The 2013 Curriculum On Mathematics Learning Outcomes Of N.1 High School Students STU Jehe Pakpak Bharat Regency From 2015 – 2018

Based on the list of Mathematics grade X grade students from T.P 2015/2016 to T.P 2017/2018, there can be seen many significant and positive changes with an increase in students' mastery learning from 40.87% to 48.72% to 80.85%. In addition to increased learning completeness, the average student learning outcomes in mathematics also increased. There is a change in the involvement of students to discuss and cooperate with fellow friends in terms of solving problems given by the teacher. Changes in the activity of students to take part in learning mathematics. The seriousness of students in participating in learning has also increased. The activeness of students in answering oral questions has also increased. This is indicated by the increasing number of students who give correct answers. the activeness of students in completing homework is increasing. This is indicated by the increasing frequency of students completing homework on time. The activeness of students to appear in front of the class solving problems on the board also increased. Students begin to believe in themselves and have the ability to solve the problems given. Based on observation, the teacher has a problem where the students are very familiar with the conventional way, the teacher explains in front of the class while students listen, Building a conducive classroom atmosphere by involving students to be more active sometimes inviting a commotion in the classroom where students initially play more than learn. Building a sense of responsibility to students also becomes difficult because students' demands actually become reversed because the teacher explains a little subject matter and students are directed to further develop material insights through discussion activities and so on. The application of the 2013 curriculum also requires students to understand the implementation of the value of the knowledge acquired so that a variety of practical activities are needed as a tangible form of the implementation of students' mathematical knowledge

Mémoires migrantes : quand les élèves vont à la rencontre de l'histoire orale des migrations

“Migrants remember” is an oral history project for a number of classes over several years. Students are helped in constructing an oral-media collection of the history of migrant associations in Lausanne and the canton of Vaud. This school oral history activity questions in a concrete manner several aspects concerning diversity in school history teaching and puts students at the centre of their relationship to other cultures. This article tries to point out some markers for reflection concerning the links between migration, history and citizenship teaching and the notion of otherness.

Attention to EU Affairs in the Spanish Parliament: The Role of Credit-Claiming and Issue Saliency Strategies

Abstract Recent research demonstrates that the salience of EU affairs in domestic parliaments is mainly driven by government parties. This has been interpreted as illustrating the so-called opposition deficit thesis and mainly explained considering governments’ informational advantages and reporting duties. Drawing on a dataset on oral questions introduced in plenary meetings in the Spanish parliament, this article sheds new light on government and opposition MPs’ incentives to raise attention to the EU. Results show that in Spain, where there is no party conflict on European integration, government MPs pay attention to EU affairs following credit-claiming strategies. These strategies are likely in the context of EU events and when the perceived benefits of integration are high, and unlikely under critical junctures, when the EU cannot be framed as a governmental success. Opposition MPs pay less attention to EU affairs but they still use the EU to give visibility to issues that are of interest to their voters.

How Do Chemistry Teachers Deal with Students' Incorrect/Undesired Responses to Oral Classroom Questions? Exploring Effective Feedback Practices

In this paper, chemistry teachers’ reactions/behavior or actions following students’ undesired, unexpected or incorrect responses/answers to the posed teacher oral questions are reported. This study which was carried out in Tanzania in Iringa Municipality involved three chemistry teachers teaching in three different secondary schools. Actual teaching situations of the three teachers were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed interpretively. We also performed semi-structured interviews with these teachers to bring forth the teachers’ inherent perceptions about their practice in relation to what was observed of the teachers’ individual actual teaching situations. Up to eight different forms of teachers’ responses or reactions to students’ undesired responses or incorrect answers are discussed with respect to how each is perceived to either positively or negatively affect students’ progressive learning. From the study, productive questioning is affected by teachers’ inability to effectively use classroom powers to trigger students’ thinking, as well as not being able to use students’ varied views to achieve the set learning goals. Instead of using their power strategies to facilitate students’ engagement with the scientific matter, the teachers used their classroom powers to guard themselves against classroom insecurities during the teaching process, such as preventing students from questioning their subject knowledge competencies.

Relation Between Clinical Oral Health Status, Oral Health Related Quality of Life, Denture Material Type and Self-perceived General Health, in a General Population

The purpose of the current study was to assess the oral health related quality of life (OHRQoL), general health related quality of life (HRQoL), clinical oral and denture status, as well as their interrelation, within a hospitalized general population. The Romanian versions of the Oral Health Impact Profile-49 (OHIP-49Ro), SF-36 questionnaires, together with an additional set of oral health assessment questions, were administered under the interview format to 170 patients, hospitalized in the Second Medical Clinic of Internal Medicine, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. The patients also underwent clinical examination, based on which the DMFT was calculated. Denture status, was as well, registered, together with the denture material. Each patient provided informed consent, prior to any examination. Questionnaire scores were calculated and used for the univariate descriptive statistics, reflecting oral health, OHRQoL and HRQoL sample tendencies. Successively, multiple regression analysis was applied, with the purpose of investigating the relationship between: the clinical oral health status, OHRQoL and HRQoL. In the first model, OHRQoL, while in the second model the dependent variable was represented by the HRQoL, each having a set of established predictors. Additionally, for denture wearing patients, OHRQoL variations in respect to the denture material were assessed, using one-way ANOVA. The mean OHIP-49Ro overall score was 31.90. The mean SF-36 subscales score was 60.66. The mean DMFT score was 18.47. For both regression analyses, all the regression models were significant. For the first model, the predictors accounted for 48.5% of variance in OHRQoL. For the second model, the highest percent of variance, explained by the predictors, was registered for the Mental Health subscale (22.8%). DMFT, as a clinical measure, was a statistically significant predictor rather for the perception in general health. However, OHRQoL was a good predictor for HRQoL, as an integrated part of it. Moreover, the one-way ANOVA indicated statistically significant differences in OHRQoL perception, in respect to the denture material F(2, 82) = 3.253, p = 0.044. The current study indicated complex relations between the patients� clinical status, the OHRQoL and HRQoL. The clinical determinants presented direct impact on both OHRQoL and HRQoL. More balanced HRQoL scores suggested that patients focused more on the perception of general health outcomes.

Oral Questions in the European Parliament: A Network Analysis

AbstractInternal working structures within parliaments are notoriously hard to capture. While analyses based on bill co-sponsorship work for the US Congress, this approach is not feasible in many parliamentary systems. Drawing on data from the European Parliament’s legislative term of 2009–2014 this article shows that parliamentary questions can be another option. Members of the European Parliament may demand information from the Council or the Commission through oral questions. We take advantage of the fact that these questions are signed by their authors and construct a social network of members of the Parliament that support each other’s oral questions. This allows investigating how members and their groups and committees cooperate to control both Council and Commission. Our approach helps to map out the internal structure of the party groups and explore which forces shape the global network. We find that cooperation is mostly driven by party group membership with ALDE, Green/EFA, and GUENGL turning out as the most cohesive groups while SD is internally rather loosely connected. The second strongest clustering characteristic is a legislators’ native country.

The perception of oral health and oral care needs, barriers and current practices as perceived by managers and caregivers in organizations for people with disabilities in Flanders, Belgium.

To assess the perception of oral health and oral care needs, barriers and current practices as perceived by managers and caregivers in organizations for people with disabilities in Flanders. Two questionnaires were developed, one for managers and one for caregivers. The questionnaires were distributed in all 570 organizations for people with disabilities in Flanders. The survey was carried out in February 2018. Sixty-five managers completed the questionnaire and 63 of them could be linked to 57 unique organizations (10% of the contacted organizations). Managers perceived oral health to be better (P = 0.019) and mentioned less oral health needs (P = 0.049), when collaboration with a dentist was reported. When an oral health policy had been established in their organization, oral health was also perceived to be better (P = 0.048). The responses of 91 caregivers were included for analysis and 87 of them could be linked to 39 unique organizations (7% of contacted organizations). Seventy percent and 75% of the caregivers mentioned to have enough/comprehensive theoretical knowledge and practical skills, respectively, and 46% were interested in receiving oral health education. Most interest was shown in practical education and education customized to clients' needs. In organizations with an oral health project, more caregivers indicated that the organization was open to oral health questions than in organizations without such a project (97% compared with 81%; P = 0.045). When there was a collaboration with a dentist, the organization was more open to caregivers' questions (96% compared with 72%; P = 0.004) and a clear contact point was more readily available (81% compared with 48%; P = 0.004). Furthermore, caregivers were more interested to receive oral health education (P = 0.023) and mentioned to be more aware of the oral health of their clients (P = 0.015). About 23% and 30% of the caregivers indicated that guidelines were used in their organization for cleaning natural teeth and prostheses, respectively. Despite the low response rate to the survey and reaching the management and caregivers of only 10% and 7% of the organizations respectively, this study indicates relevant issues to be incorporated when formulating recommendations for oral health promotion in people with disabilities in Flanders. The results of this survey could affect the development of strategies and interventions to ameliorate the oral health of people with disabilities.

Examining US Pediatric Residents’ Oral Health Care Knowledge, Training, Practices and Perceptions

Pediatric residents nationwide (n=187) completed an anonymous survey designed to assess their confidence and knowledge surrounding oral health topics, level of oral health training in residency, attitudes regarding pediatricians’ role in oral health care, and likelihood of performing specific oral health tasks. On average, pediatric residents reported feeling “moderately knowledgeable” about preventive oral health topics and “slightly knowledgeable” about developmental oral health topics. Overall, residents answered 62% of preventive oral health questions and 46% of developmental oral health questions correctly. Residents reported receiving low levels of oral health training, with 5 out of 9 oral health topics covered by fewer than 50% of respondents. Most residents agreed that pediatricians play an important role in oral health care but fewer residents routinely performed oral health tasks. Increased emphasis on this subject in residency education is essential for the promotion of children’s oral health.

Selective Deafness of Political Parties: Strategic Responsiveness to Media, Protest and Real-World Signals on Immigration in Belgian Parliament

AbstractHow do political parties react to different signals from society indicating the saliency of a particular social problem? Are all parties equally responsive to all signals or do certain signals prove more effective in engaging some parties than others? We address these questions from an agenda-setting perspective. In particular, we investigate how media attention, protest activity and real-world signals shape parties’ attention for immigration in the federal parliament of Belgium. A time series model suggests that media attention, protest activity and real-world indicators all increase parliamentary attention as measured by weekly oral questions. More detailed models show the impact of these signals to differ across parties. Media attention and protest activity engage left wing parties, whereas asylum applications drive political action of the party delivering the responsible secretary. Far-right parties, finally, react both to media attention and real-world indicators. We conclude that political parties are ‘selectively deaf’; they act (or do not act) strategically upon incoming signals, depending on whether the signal fits their political goals or not. This article contributes to agenda-setting research by including multiple societal signals in its research design and by focusing on party characteristics and party competition to disentangle the conditionality of various agenda-setting effects.

SCIENTIFIC REASONING DEVELOPMENT WITHIN INFORMAL FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT USE IN SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL PHYSICAL SCIENCE LESSONS

Scientific reasoning, though not explicitly taught in classrooms, is promoted as a major goal for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education at all levels, worldwide. Literature also indicates that the time spent by learners explaining and justifying their ideas strongly correlates with learning improvement. In Swaziland, however, reports from school science inspectors and school leaving examiners point to weak evidence of scientific reasoning skills from school-based and high-stake examinations. This contradicts the main education goal at this level – producing learners who can use science phenomena awareness for reasoning through diverse life contexts. The study was conceived within the interplay between cognitive and sociocultural theories of constructivism. It focuses on how senior secondary school Physical Science teachers use informal formative assessment (IFA), and how the assessments so used support scientific reasoning. Through the qualitative inquiry approach a multiple case study design was used where four teachers in the Manzini Region were purposively sampled and their lessons observed. The data were then analysed through content analysis and Furtak, Harding, Beinbrech, Shavelson, and Shemwell (2008)’s analytical framework. The study revealed that teachers initiated learner-centred dialogues to address misconceptions and ask further clarification questions. Practical work and contingency based oral questions generated a reach variety of scientific reasoning levels while cases where teachers treated none response moments by supplying answers generated the least reasoning levels. All in all, by diligently using IFA to support learning, teachers realised opportunities for assisting learners migrate from concrete operational to formal thinking levels.

Oral Health Attitude and Status of Turkish Dentistry Students

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the oral and dental health of students studying at the Faculty of Dentistry. As a result, the ideas to improve effective training methods for future dentists who will have impact on oral and dental health of the society will be developed. Methods: A survey including sociodemographic, oral and dental health-associated questions was conducted with 200 students who were studying at Faculty of Dentistry of Inonu University and subsequently, dental examination of each student was performed and evaluated. Results: It has been noted that students generally give importance to oral and dental health and nutrition as their grade level increases. It is observed that since the beginning of their education, the rate of restorative treatment increased, and the number of tooth cavity is decreased. Conclusions: Considering that dentistry students are individuals who will educate and influence the society, they need to pay more attention to their personal health and care. Therefore, the right oral and dental health practice acquired as a habit by students will affect the health of the entire society.

Understanding oral health care team performance in primary care: A mixed-method study.

ObjectiveThis study aims to describe the primary care services carried out by Oral Health Teams (OHTs) in Brazil, and to understand the nuances that lead to different levels of OHT performance.Material & methodsA mixed-methods study with a sequential explanatory design was developed. In the quantitative phase, secondary data from a national survey (PMAQ-AB) was used to describe the work of 12,403 OHTs. Item response theory (IRT) was applied, to evaluate the psychometric qualities of 20 oral health questions from PMAQ-AB and to identify the performance of OHT. The quantitative results guided the selection of the qualitative sample. An extreme case sampling strategy was used (opposite results). OHTs were selected from Belo Horizonte metropolitan region in Brazil using scores measured by IRT. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Data analysis was conducted using deductive and inductive thematic analysis.ResultsQuantitative results showed that there are OHT with high and low performance in Brazil. The IRT analysis showed that items related to prostheses and oral cancer tend to discriminate high-performance OHTs from other OHTs. Qualitative results deepened the understanding of accessing oral health services and found several access barriers, such as the insufficient number of OHTs for the population, and a very long waiting time for dental consultations other than urgency. The qualitative results confirmed that high-performance OHTs tend to emphasize oral cancer surveillance and deliver prostheses in PHC services.ConclusionDespite the expansion of oral health in PHC in Brazil in recent years, OHTs still face many challenges such as: access barriers; failures in prevention, early diagnosis and follow-up of oral cancer cases; and insufficient rehabilitation with prostheses.

Schools assume greater responsibility for preparing students for college, career, and life. accountability is more than just a series of narrow testing and reporting for narrow competency levels. Learning interest in learning and the need to learn how education is increasingly committed to creating learning-centered environments where institutions work actively to help students learn, and assessment of student learning is very important to understand and measure the success of these efforts. The quality of student graduation at MA As-Shafi'iyah. 1) In assessing educational needs to achieve quality education, there are three components, namely students, parents and community members, educators and components involved in the educational process. Besides learning planning also needs to be considered because planning will affect the quality of graduates. 2) Assessment and evaluation are a serious and integral part of the teaching process, which affects not only students, but teachers, the community, and the entire educational environment. 3) one being hypothesized is that informal assessment methods are often used rather than provide more controlled arrangements. Depending on how they are used, the format for informal and formal assessments can include teacher observation of students, oral questions, journal entries, portfolio entries, exit cards, skills inventory, homework assignments, project products, student opinions, interest surveys, referenced criteria , or norm-based tests
