TikTok in museum management: an effective museum enhancement tool?
No full textDigital environments nowadays play a central role in creating
value for organizations. In the cultural sector, the creation of
value of organizations and in particular of museums is facing a
paradigm shift in response to the contemporary demands of
living in a hyperconnected world. Expression of a rapidly rising
phenomenon in the hyperconnected digital scenario is
represented by the use of the TikTok platform, whose value
creation is based on interactive and multimedia contents. This
research aims to explore through a mixed approach, the use
that museums make of TikTok from a managerial perspective.
The study highlights the use of a generally informal language
structured on a predominantly aesthetic and non-scientific
component, capable of attracting and interactively engaging
heterogenous targets, especially less art-sensitive audiences like
digital natives. Despite the enormous potential it represents, this
social media is still little used by museums and little explored by
the scientific community
The role of orthodontics in temporomandibular disorders
No full textTemporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is the main cause of pain of non-dental origin in the oro-facial region including head, face and related structures. The aetiology and the pathophysiology of TMD is poorly understood. It is generally accepted that the aetiology is multifactorial, involving a large number of direct and indirect causal factors. Among such factors, occlusion is frequently cited as one of the major aetiological factors causing TMD. It is well known from epidemiologic studies that TMD-related signs and symptoms, particularly temporomandibular joint (TMJ) sounds, are frequently found in children and adolescents and show increased prevalence among subjects between 15 and 45 years old. Aesthetic awareness, the development of new aesthetic orthodontic techniques and the possibility of improving prosthetic rehabilitation has increased the number of adults seeking orthodontic treatment. The shift in patient age also has increased the likelihood of patients presenting with signs and symptoms of TMD. Because orthodontic treatment lasts around 2 years, orthodontic patients may complain about TMD during or after treatment and orthodontists may be blamed for causing TMD by unsatisfied patients. This hypothesis of causality has led to legal problems for dentists and orthodontists. For these reasons, the interest in the relationship between occlusal factors, orthodontic treatment and TMD has grown and many studies have been conducted. Indeed, claims that orthodontic treatment may cause or cure TMD should be supported by good evidence. Hence, the aim of this article is to critically review evidence for a possible association between malocclusion, orthodontic treatment and TMD
