This study aims to investigate the future impact of blockchain technology on digital marketing by focusing on its role in reducing costs, improving security and privacy. To fulfill the aim of the study, the author investigates the perceived benefits of blockchain adoption in digital marketing, including its disintermediation, transparency, and security. The research also aims to provide insights for marketers, firms, and governments on how to use blockchain technology to enhance digital marketing practices. The study used a structural questionnaire to assess the intention to use blockchain technology in digital marketing among small and medium-sized enterprises in Pakistan. The present study conducted the structure equation modelling analysis to empirically examine the hypothesis via AMOS. The study demonstrates that employees\u27 intentions to utilize blockchain technology for digital marketing are significantly influenced by training, perceived value, and resource availability. Additionally, user adoption intentions are greatly influenced by blockchain capabilities including security & privacy, storytelling, disintermediation, and transparency

Efektet anësore të një grupi antibiotikësh të përdorur për trajtimet periodontale
No full textFor periodontal treatment we preferred antibiotic combinations, with the aim of hitting bacterial fl ora, according to its characteristics, aerobic anaerobic, gram-negative and grampositive, with certain antibiotics that act on certain bacteria. From literature are gathered data on the side eff ects (preferably expressed in percent) of some antibiotics, the favorites in periodontal recipes. These data are sorted by determining antibiotic. In the case of providing periodontal prescription, patient is in risk for 5% allergy, 3% nephritis, hematological problems 2-2.5%, 5.5% gastrointestinal problems, 2% disturbance in the nervous system, 5.5% allergic signs on the skin, problems with electrolytes displayed in minor of percentage. Interaction with diff erent medications is present in almost all cases! Touching the body systems is in total of 4%, the maximum value is expressed in the skin, the minimum value on the nervous system. Cross allergies is in high value, because of the expressed structural similarity of antibiotics! Giving a recipe, we’ve balance the % of side eff ects, the percentage of bacterial resistance and the % of the success of the recommended dose of antibiotics.Për trajtimin e sëmundjeve periodontale preferohen kombinime antibiotikësh me qëllimin e goditjes së fl orës bakteriale sipas karakteristikave të saj, aerobe anaerobe, gram negative dhe gram positive, ku antibiotikë të caktuar veprojnë mbi baktere të caktuara. Nga literatura janë mbledhur të dhënat mbi efektet anësore të disa antibiotikëve, mundësisht të shprehura në përqindje, më të cituarit në recetat peridontale. Këto të dhëna janë renditur sipas antibiotikut të përcaktuar. mNë rastin e dhënies së një recete, e rrezikojmë pacientin për: 5% alergji, 3% nefrit, 2-2.5% probleme hematologjike, 5.5% probleme gastrointestinale, 2% shqetësime në sistemin nervor, 5.5% shenja alergjike në lëkurë, probleme me elektrolitet, shfaqet në përqindje të vogël. Ndërveprimi me medikamente të ndryshme është i pranishëm pothuajse në të gjitha rastet! Prekja e sistemeve në total është 4%: vlera maksimale shprehet në lëkurë, vlera minimale tek sistemi nervor.
Alergjia e kryqëzuar në vlerën e lartë të saj, shprehte ngjashmërinë strukturale të antibiotikëve! Dhënia e një recete vë në balancë përqindjen e efekteve anësore, përqindjen e rezistencës bakteriale dhe përqindjen e suksesit të dozës së rekomanduar të antibiotikëve
The Side Effects of the Most Commonly Used Group of Antibiotics in Periodontal Treatments
No full textAntibiotic combinations are preferred for the treatment of periodontal diseases, with the aim of hitting the bacterial flora, according to its characteristics—aerobic, anaerobic, gram-negative, and gram-positive—with certain antibiotics that act on certain bacteria. The aim of this study is to analyze the side effects of the antibiotics used. Data on the side effects (preferably expressed in percentages) of some antibiotics, the favorites in periodontal recipes, are gathered from the literature. These data are listed according to the antibiotic used. In the case of providing a periodontal prescription, the patient is at risk of allergy (5%), nephritis (3%), hematological problems (2–2.5%), gastrointestinal problems (5.5%), disturbance in the nervous system (2%), allergic signs on the skin (5.5%), and problems with electrolytes displayed in lower percentages. Interaction with different medications is present in almost all cases. The influence on the body systems is 4% in total, the maximum value of which is expressed on the skin, and the minimum value is expressed in the nervous system. Cross allergies are at a high value because of the expressed structural similarity of antibiotics. Given a recipe, we have a balance of the percentage of side effects, the percentage of bacterial resistance, and the percentage of the success of the recommended dose of antibiotics
Present distribution of the threatened killifish Aphanius fasciatus (Actinopterygii, Cyprinodontidae) in the Maltese Islands
No full textA survey of the nine localities from which the threatened Killifish Aphanius fasciatus has been recorded in the Maltese Islands showed that large and thriving populations exist at Salina, at the Simar and Ghadira bird sanctuaries and in reservoirs at Marsa and Ghadira. The Simar and Ghadira populations are introduced and originate from a mixture of animals collected from Salina and Marsa. The provenance of the Marsa population is unknown but it is possibly autochthonous to the Marsa area. The Salina and possibly the Marsa populations seem to be the only remaining natural populations of this species in the Maltese Islands.peer-reviewe
Periodontal suturing, data on selection criteria
No full textPeriodontal suturing beyond the surgical elements it provides precedes the selection of the type of suture versus the fact that it is manipulated with periodontal soft tissue. This fact is the basic element in the selection of the type of suture indicated for use and the way of suturing, which in the periodontal surgeon with experience is performed instinctively without thinking.The article is of the review type, bringing a summary of the published data about the suturing method needed for the periodontal application.Conclusion: The type of suture indicated as a primary indication has a clinical case that is indicated based on clinical diagnosis, but the selection of suture type depending on the material or needle is performed based on the clinical area conditioned by minimal manipulation space and the possibility of laceration of periodontal tissue
Evaluation of the Appearance of Dermatological Bullous Diseases in the Oral Cavity
No full textDermatological bullous diseases have visible signs in the oral cavity. The study is aimed at early detection of oral lesions, to link them to the presence or not of apparent skin disorders affecting the quality of the patient\u27s lifestyle. Patient awareness of coexistence between dermatological concerns and the presence of oral lesions should be the starting point of every dentist during the intraoral examination, after drying of the mucous membranes and gingiva.The study includes patients randomly presented: patients at the University Clinic AU and patients in the Dermatology Department, QSUT, during the period between November 2017 and January 2018. Patients were evaluated according to the Dermatological Life Quality Index (ICJD) and the presence of oral lesions in the oral cavity. Oral lesions reported in the patients appear to be more commonly occurring in female patients than in male patients over 40 years of age. Oral buccal mucosa areas are more affected than gingival area, palatum and tongue areas. Detection of disorders during oral routine examination is the beginning to follow the evolution of these dermatological bullous diseases, as the further prognosis also depends on the moment of detection and awareness of the initial existence of the disease
