Panoramic radiography as an aid in diagnosing mandibular fractures
No full textA retrospective study was undertaken to determine the reliability of the panoramic radiograph (PR) in the evaluation of fractures in the mandible. Among the 62 fractures present in the 52 patients included in this study, 57 fractures (92%) were recognized in the panoramic radiographs, while 5 fractures (8%) were missed and detected in other types of plain films. Four out of the fifty-two patients included in the study had no PR made as the primary diagnostic radiograph was taken for various medical problems. It was concluded that PR provides useful diagnostic information in evaluating mandibular fracture, however, limitations were noted. Other plain films may be needed when PR is negative and there is clinical evidence that a fracture exists.Corresponding Author:

The telomere binding protein TRF2 induces chromatin compaction.
No full textMammalian telomeres are specialized chromatin structures that require the telomere binding protein, TRF2, for maintaining chromosome stability. In addition to its ability to modulate DNA repair activities, TRF2 also has direct effects on DNA structure and topology. Given that mammalian telomeric chromatin includes nucleosomes, we investigated the effect of this protein on chromatin structure. TRF2 bound to reconstituted telomeric nucleosomal fibers through both its basic N-terminus and its C-terminal DNA binding domain. Analytical agarose gel electrophoresis (AAGE) studies showed that TRF2 promoted the folding of nucleosomal arrays into more compact structures by neutralizing negative surface charge. A construct containing the N-terminal and TRFH domains together altered the charge and radius of nucleosomal arrays similarly to full-length TRF2 suggesting that TRF2-driven changes in global chromatin structure were largely due to these regions. However, the most compact chromatin structures were induced by the isolated basic N-terminal region, as judged by both AAGE and atomic force microscopy. Although the N-terminal region condensed nucleosomal array fibers, the TRFH domain, known to alter DNA topology, was required for stimulation of a strand invasion-like reaction with nucleosomal arrays. Optimal strand invasion also required the C-terminal DNA binding domain. Furthermore, the reaction was not stimulated on linear histone-free DNA. Our data suggest that nucleosomal chromatin has the ability to facilitate this activity of TRF2 which is thought to be involved in stabilizing looped telomere structures
From Islamic Fundamentalism to a New Life in the West: Ali Eteraz and the Muslim Comedy Memoir
No full textThis chapter analyses the Muslim memoir as a hybrid text that both authenticates and satirises the subjectivity of the narrator. Given the social capital of the memoir form, I argue that its trustworthiness is inverted by the author Ali Eteraz to question the premise of social trust. The memoir delineates social trust through the expression of piety and Muslim modernity articulated by the narrator in his different avatars. Eteraz’s satirical representations of himself invite the reader to read against the grain of the by now familiar Muslim fundamentalist-turned-Sufi story. He reverses the contexts of Islamist violence with the performativity of humour and it is in that humour that we can see traces of a multicultural coexistence and a rebuilding of social trust

No full textEngagement politique des immigrés marocains sur le Web. L’exemple d’une vidéo politique pamphlétaire.
No full textInternational audienceAbstract : This article explores how Moroccan immigrants are appropriating digital media for political purposes to express themselves and comment from abroad on current events in their country of origin. Through their creative online practices, these actors are helping change the ways and means used by the " voiceless " diaspora to speak out while at the same time redefining the boundaries of politics. The author focuses on the case of a political video posted on YouTube, examining the statement it makes, its widespread distribution, and the different ways in which it is appropriated by heterogeneous social actors.Résumé : Le présent article explore l'appropriation des médias informatisés par des immigrés marocains à des fins politiques pour s'exprimer et commenter à distance l'actualité de leur pays d'origine. À travers leurs pratiques créatives en ligne, ces acteurs participent au changement des formes et des modalités de prise de parole des « sans voix » diasporiques ainsi qu'à la redéfinition des frontières de la politique. L'auteur se concentre sur le cas d'une vidéo pamphlétaire publiée sur la plateforme Web YouTube. Sont ici étudiés à la fois l'énoncé de la vidéo, sa large circulation ainsi que ses différentes appropriations politiques par des acteurs sociaux hétérogènes qui lui confèrent des interprétations variées

No full textAbstract: Workplace incivility behaviors poisoning the organizational climate disrupts the working harmony of health care team and impairs interprofessional communication and collaboration. Aim: To examine the relationship between workplace place incivility behaviors and nurses' intention to share knowledge at Itay El-Baroud General Hospital. Methods: A descriptive, correlational research design was utilized in all inpatient medical, surgical and critical care units at Itay El-Baroud General hospital, El-Beheira, Egypt, for all head nurses and their assistants and staff nurses. Tools: two tools were used: Tool Ι: Nursing Incivility Scale (NIS) and a demographic characteristics data sheet; Tool Π: Intention to Share Knowledge Questionnaire. Results: staff nurses got moderate mean percent score for both workplace incivility and intention to share knowledge. Moreover, the first source of incivility was general environment; and the last one was patient/visitor. Whereas; the first dimension for nurses’ intention to share knowledge was attitude toward knowledge sharing, and the last dimension was anticipated extrinsic rewards. Conclusion: There are negative highly significant correlations between total workplace incivility behaviors and all its dimensions and total nurses’ intention to share knowledge and all its dimensions. Recommendations: Develop and disseminate workplace incivility policy; develop positive workplace culture; and provide incentives and rewards.

Workplace violence against nurses in the emergency departments of three hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia: A cross-sectional survey
No full textAbstractBackgroundEmergency department nurses are continuously exposed to violence on the job.ObjectivesThis study sought to identify the prevalence and pattern of workplace violence and the consequences of violence on nurses working in emergency departments in Riyadh.DesignCross-sectional survey conducted from April to May 2015.SettingEmergency departments of three hospitals in Riyadh.ParticipantsNurses participated voluntarily and anonymously.MethodsNurses were recruited by advertisement. A self-administered questionnaire with 23 items was given to participants by a head nurse. Violent acts were classified as physical or nonphysical. Descriptive statistics are presented and statistical comparisons were made to evaluate differences by gender, nationality, age, experience and other demographic variables.ResultsOf 150 questionnaires distributed, 121 were returned (80.6%). One hundred were females (82.6%) and 71 (58.7%) had worked in nursing for less than or equal to 5 years. Most participants (n=108, 89.3%) had experienced a violent incident in the past 12 months. Eighty (80/108, 74.1%) of those who had experienced violence had experienced verbal abuse and 20 (20/108, 18.5%) had faced verbal and physical violence during the past year. The type of violence was associated with gender and educational level. Patients (89/108, 82.4%) and their relatives (70/108, 64.8%) were the most common instigators of violence. Most nurses (78/108, 72.3%) expressed dissatisfaction with the manner in which incidents were handled.ConclusionWorkplace violence was pervasive in the emergency departments of these three hospitals in Riyadh. The data are consistent with other reports of workplace violence in emergency departments in Saudi Arabia and in other countries.RecommendationsSuitable strategies to deal with the issue include establishing workplace violence management teams and creating appropriate rules and regulations that can improve workplace safety for nurses, while improving patient care quality. Security systems and formulation of violence prevention policies and procedures are mandatory measures in emergency departments. In addition, training programs are needed to help support, teach and provide nurses with the knowledge and skills needed to manage violent situations in the workplace
