The association between general health and oral health has been studied over recent years. In order to evaluate the lifestyle and the presence of healthy habits, a descriptive observational study was conducted from December 2018 to April 2019 with 230 patients, aged from 18 to 65 years old, that attended the Dental Hospital of the University of Barcelona for the first time. A total of 230 participants were considered, 98 (43%) were men and 132 (57%) were women, with a mean age of 37 years old. Our hypothesis was that patients with healthy habits had a better oral status in comparison with patients with bad lifestyle habits. No statistically significant results were found regarding oral hygiene between gender, smokers and patients with systemic pathology. Regarding a healthy lifestyle (High adherence to dietary intake), no statistically significant results were found. No significant differences were found regarding physical activity between male and female patients. Our hypothesis wasn’t confirmed; therefore, we cannot conclude that patients with healthy habits have better oral status in comparison with patients with bad lifestyle habits. Consequently, more prospective longitudinal studies should be carried out.

Specific Diet

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the primary cause of death among individuals living in the United States. Adherence to heart-healthy diets and exercise reduce risk of CVD. However, a contemporary analysis of specific diet and exercise types adhered to by Americans is lacking. Therefore, the primary objective of this study was to characterize methods by which Americans engage in healthy lifestyle habits. Methods: Internet-based materials were collected through an exhaustive search, conducted between 6/1/2019 and 4/30/20. Google, Google Scholar and Pubmed search engines were reviewed to identify relevant articles. Articles were reviewed by the senior author who made the final decision on incorporation into this analysis. 26 and 23 articles on diet and exercise, respectively, were included for analysis. Results: Only approximately 20-25% of Americans engage in routine physical activity. Of individuals who do exercise, the majority engage in either low dynamic/low static, high dynamic/low static, or low dynamic/high static types of exercise ( figure 1 ). Americans grossly underconsume recommended healthy foodtypes such as vegetables, fruits and dairy products, by 85%, 75% and 85%, respectively, based on recommended daily allowance. Of individuals who follow a specific diet, the most common types were low-carbohydrate (18%), reduced caloric (14%), and ketogenic (11%). Conclusion: In a contemporary analysis of American lifestyle habits, adherence to healthy diet and exercise patterns is unacceptably low. Among individuals who do adhere to healthy habits, there is a heterogeneous admixture of diet and exercise types.

El objetivo de la presente investigación es determinar las diferencias en los hábitos de vida saludable entre carreras de la facultad de Educación de una universidad privada de Santiago de Chile. Para ello se aplicó el cuestionario de hábitos de vida saludable a 588 estudiantes de las carreras de educación parvularia, castellano, educación artística, educación básica, educación diferencial, educación física, historia y geografía, inglés y matemáticas. Los resultados muestran que los estudiantes más sedentarios son de educación parvularia, básica, diferencial y artística (con un 57%), el consumo de tabaco y alcohol es similar en todas las carreras (39.1% y 65.5%, respectivamente) y el consumo de droga alcanza al 32%, siendo la marihuana ala más habitual (90% de los casos). Finalmente, el 67.4% de los estudiantes de educación básica declaran que la carrera en la que estudia no promueve la práctica de la actividad física y el deporte. Se puede concluir que existen diferencias en la práctica de actividad física según las carreras de pedagogía, en tanto, el consumo de alcohol, tabaco y drogas no presenta diferencias. Los estudiantes de 1° y 2° año declaran en mayor porcentaje que los de 3° y 4° año que la universidad promueve la practica actividad física. Son necesarias más investigaciones que abarquen otras universidades del país.Abstract. The objective of this research is to determine the differences in the healthy lifestyle habits between careers at the Faculty of Education of a private university in Santiago de Chile. To this end, the questionnaire on healthy lifestyles was applied to 588 students in kindergarten, Spanish, arts education, basic education, differential education, physical education, history and geography, English and mathematics.The results show that the most sedentary students are those from early childhood, basic, differential, and arts (with 57%); tobacco and alcohol use is similar in all careers (39.1% and 65.5%, respectively), whereas drug use reaches 32%, marijuana being the most common (90% of cases).Finally, 67.4% of basic education students report that the career they study does not promote the practice of physical activity and sport. As a conclusion, there are differences in the practice of physical activity depending on the pedagogical career, while alcohol, tobacco and drug use do not differ. A higher percentage of students from first and second year compared to those from third and fourth state that the university promotes physical activity. More research is needed covering other universities in the country.

In the history of botany, Adam Zalužanský (d. 1613), a Bohemian physician, apothecary, botanist and professor at the University of Prague, is a little-known personality. Linnaeus's first biographers, for example, only knew Zalužanský from hearsay and suspected he was a native of Poland. This ignorance still pervades botanical history. Zalužanský is mentioned only peripherally or not at all. As late as the nineteenth century, a researcher would be unaware that Zalužanský’s main work Methodi herbariae libri tres actually existed in two editions from two different publishers (1592, Prague; 1604, Frankfurt). This paper introduces the life and work of Zalužanský. Special attention is paid to the chapter “De sexu plantarum” of Zalužanský’s Methodus, in which, more than one hundred years before the well-known De sexu plantarum epistola of R. J. Camerarius, the sexuality of plants is suggested. Additionally, for the first time, an English translation of Zalužanský’s chapter on plant sexuality is provided.

Medieval Christianity

Scholars interested in the Christian Apocrypha (CA) typically appeal to CA collections when in need of primary sources. But many of these collections limit themselves to material believed to have been written within the first to fourth centuries CE. As a result a large amount of non-canonical Christian texts important for the study of ancient and medieval Christianity have been neglected. The More Christian Apocrypha Project will address this neglect by providing a collection of new editions (some for the first time) of these texts for English readers. The project is inspired by the More Old Testament Pseudepigrapha Project headed by Richard Bauckham and Jim Davila from the University of Edinburgh. Like the MOTP, the MCAP is envisioned as a supplement to an earlier collection of texts—in this case J. K. Elliott’s The Apocryphal New Testament (Oxford 1991), the most recent English-language CA collection (but now almost two decades old). The texts to be included are either absent in Elliott or require significant revision. Many of the texts have scarcely been examined in over a century and are in dire need of new examination. One of the goals of the project is to spotlight the abilities and achievements of English (i.e., British and North American) scholars of the CA, so that English readers have access to material that has achieved some exposure in French, German, and Italian collections.

The Relationship

Universities have a crucial role in the modern world. In England, entrance to universities is by nation-wide competition which means English universities have an exceptional influence on schools--a striking theme of the book. This important book first investigates the university as an institution and then tracks the individual on their journey to and through university. In A University Education, David Willetts presents a compelling case for the ongoing importance of the university, both as one of the great institutions of modern society and as a transformational experience for the individual. The book also makes illuminating comparisons with higher education in other countries, especially the US and Germany. Drawing on his experience as UK Minister for Universities and Science from 2010 to 2014, the author offers a powerful account of the value of higher education and the case for more expansion. He covers controversial issues in which he was involved from access for disadvantaged students to the introduction of L9,000 fees. The final section addresses some of the big questions for the future, such as the the relationship between universities and business, especially in promoting innovation.. He argues that the two great contemporary trends of globalisation and technological innovation will both change the university significantly. This is an authoritative account of English universities setting them for the first time in their new legal and regulatory framework.

Vietnamese Diaspora

This special issue follows a conference entitled ‘Rencontres: A Gathering of Voices of the Vietnamese Diaspora’ that was held at the University of Melbourne, December 1-2 in 2016 and which sought to enable, for the first time, the titular transdiasporic rencontres or encounters between international authors of the Vietnamese diaspora. The present amalgam of previously unpublished texts written by celebrated Francophone and Anglophone authors of Vietnamese descent writing in France, New Caledonia and Australia today is the result of the intercultural exchanges that took place during that event. Literary texts by Linda Lê, Anna Moï and Thanh-Van Tran-Nhut are followed by writerly reflections on the theme of transdiasporic encounters from Hoai Huong Nguyen, Jean Vanmai and Hoa Pham. Framing and enriching these texts, scholarly contributions by established experts in the field consider the literary, cultural and linguistic transfers that characterize contemporary writing by authors of Vietnamese origin across the Francophone world. Ce volume spécial réunit les Actes du colloque ‘Rencontres : A Gathering of Voices of the Vietnamese Diaspora’ qui s’est tenue à l’Université de Melbourne les 1er et 2 décembre 2016 et qui visait à faciliter, pour la première fois, les rencontres entre les auteurs, chercheurs et universitaires internationaux de la diaspora vietnamienne. Les fruits de leurs échanges interculturels y sont réunis dans ce présent recueil sous deux formes complémentaires : d’un côté, les articles d’experts en littérature francophone comparée ; de l’autre, les contributions créatives de célèbres auteurs francophones et anglophones d’origine vietnamienne basés aujourd’hui en France, en Nouvelle Calédonie et en Australie. Les textes littéraires de Linda Lê, Anna Moï et Thanh-Van Tran-Nhut, suivis de réflexions d’auteurs par Hoai Huong Nguyen, Hoa Pham et Jean Vanmai sur le thème des rencontres transdiasporiques, se retrouvent enrichis par les études savantes menées sur les transferts littéraires, culturelles et linguistiques qui caractérisent l’écriture contemporaine des écrivains d’origine vietnamienne dans le monde francophone.

Due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, dental treatment performed by undergraduate students at the University of Marburg/Germany was immediately stopped in spring 2020 and stepwise reinstalled under a new hygiene concept until full recovery in winter 2020/21. Patient treatment in the student courses was evaluated based on three aspects: (1) Testing of patients with a SARS-CoV-2 Rapid Antigen (SCRA) Test applied by student assistants (SA); (2) Improved hygiene regimen, with separated treatment units, cross-ventilation, pre-operative mouth rinse and rubber dam application wherever possible; (3) Recruitment of patients: 735 patients were pre-registered for the two courses; 384 patients were treated and a total of 699 tests with the SCRA test were performed by SAs. While half of the patients treated in the course were healthy, over 40% of the patients that were pre-registered but not treated in the course revealed a disease being relevant to COVID (p < 0.001). 46 patients had concerns to visit the dental hospital due to the increase of COVID incidence levels, 14 persons refused to be tested. The presented concept was suitable to enable patient treatment in the student course during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

John Mauropous, an eleventh-century Metropolitan of Euchaïta, has long been commemorated in the service books of the Orthodox Church. The Synaxarion for the Office of Orthros on 30th January, the day dedicated to the Three Fathers, St. Basil the Great, St. Gregory the Theologian, and St. John Chrysostom, tells how the festival was instituted by Mauropous and describes him as ‘the well-known John, a man of great repute and well-versed in the learning of the Hellenes, as his writings show, and moreover one who has attained to the highest virtue’. In western Europe something was known of him certainly as early as the end of the sixteenth century; his iambic poems were published for the first time by an Englishman in 1610, and his ‘Vita S. Dorothei’ in the Acta Sanctorum in 1695. But it was not until the second half of the nineteenth century that scholars were really able to form some idea of the character and achievement of this Metropolitan of Euchaïta. Particularly important were two publications: Sathas' edition in 1876 of Michael Psellus' oration on John, and Paul de Lagarde's edition in 1882 of some of John's own writings. This last contained not only the works already printed, but a number of hitherto unpublished sermons and letters, together with the constitution of the Faculty of Law in the University of Constantinople, and a short introduction containing part of an etymological poem. But there remained, and still remains, one significant omission: John's canons have been almost consistently neglected.
