Efficient travel in terms of distance, time and cost are the needs of every traveler. Not all travelers always make careful planning before going on a trip and it could be that the trip is done unexpectedly. In order to help travelers to get a well-planned trip, technological utilization is needed so that travelers can easily get the shortest distance on the route. Smaller distances can optimize usage costs and possibly travel time. One of them is the creation of the website-based shortest route search destination search application with a mobile friendly display. The dijkstra algorithm is one of the algorithms for determining the shortest route from one tourist attraction to another. The calculation of the dijkstra algorithm begins with determining the node (point) that will be formed into a graph.

The reality of ideas that sustainsthe intellectual approach of Nawal El Saadawi, inspires a feminine psycho-sociological renaissance. The harmonious and different arrangement of her Islamic feminism introduces within the Muslim patriarchal affective and representative perception, the notion of profaning the sacred and the traditional enclosures. Through this first person narrative, A Daughter of Isis embodies an effective realm of knowledge that goes beyond the sphere of metaphor; in fact, it becomes that feminine voice that establishes the real power and positive to define her being a human. The purpose of this paper remains an attempt to display the implied practical mode of communication, which appears different from the apparent reality of the patriarchal mode, and the manner El Saadawi creates a discourse of reconstruction and a scientific observation of the real. In this method, the deconstructionist approach involved in this discourse introduces an intellection based on a balance of power. Therefore, the result of this article is expected to underline the material possibilities to ensure a socio-cultural revalorization.

The head face, temporomandibular joint, and the maxillary and the mandibular muscles consist of the trigeminal system and hence the pain is more prevalent in these structures. The orofacial pain affects the patient’s quality of life dramatically. In order to manage the orofacial pain disorders, the clinician need to be familiar with different types of etiologies and characteristics of facial region. In order to attain safe and best therapeutic results, the trigeminal system plays a significant role. It is a cross-sectional descriptive study aimed at evaluation of prevalence and characteristics of dental orofacial pain. The Diagnostic Criteria of Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD) questionnaire was disseminated online, limiting participants to those who resided in Saudi Arabia. A total of 226 participants completed the survey. Axis I related disorders were diagnosed in 195 patients, whereas Axis II related disorders were diagnosed in 36 of patients. This study showed high prevalence rate and an immense range in pain intensity with commensurate and often significant impact on the quality of life. The Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/ TMD), has been widely used globally to estimate prevalences of TMD. Additional research is necessary to establish comprehensive classification schemes for all patients with orofacial pain.

Most of the physiological processes in the mammals exhibit the circadian rhythms which are guided by endogenous biological clock. This biological clock consists of a central unit which is located in hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and the secondary clocks are located in the peripheral tissues. Circadian rhythms endure 24-hour oscillations of substantial number of the master genes that control the synchronization of varied metabolic and physiological actions within our bodies. This is a very complex regulative network which contributes to an important association between brain and several peripheral tissues as well as organs. The circadian fluctuations of the gene expression are regulated at the molecular level by a family of transcription factors known as “clock genes”. The imbalance or dysregulation in the expression of these clock genes can result in the varied human pathological conditions, inclusive of cancer and autoimmune diseases. The evidences are escalating regarding the effect of circadian clock in the tooth development, homeostasis of the oral epithelium, salivary gland and saliva production. The present article summarizes the available knowledge regarding the roles of the clock genes in the genesis as well as perpetuation of the oral tissues, and also mention about the potential association between the “oral clocks” and the diseases like head and neck cancer as well as Sjögren’s syndrome.

Background: The most frequent complication which follows the removal of impacted mandibular third molars is ‘dry socket’ or Alveolar Osteitis (AO). The present study aimed to evaluate the incidence, risk factors (age, sex, infection) contributing to the development of dry socket and clinical feature following surgical removal of impacted mandibular third. Material & Methods: The present study was conducted in 86 adult patients requiring surgical extraction of impacted mandibular third molar. The surgery was performed in a standardized technique. Patients were recalled regularly and symptoms and signs of dry socket was noted if developed. Patients were reviewed at 3rd and 7th day of surgery. Results: Out of 86 patients, 46 were males and 40 were females. Out of 46 males, 5 and out of 40 females, 4 developed dry socket. Age group 18-30 had 2 dry socket, 30-50 had 2 and >50 years had 5 cases of dry socket. The difference among both genders was significant in age >50 years (P< 0.05). The incidence of DS was in 7 patients suffering from systemic diseases and 2 medically fit patients developed dry socket. Postoperative symptoms such as pain, empty socket, bare bone and halitosis on 3rd and 7th day. There was significant reduction in symptoms on 7th day. Conclusion: Dry socket is multifactorial in nature. Authors found that higher number of dry socket was in age group >50 years, in males and in patients with systemic diseases. Need of the Study: Assessment of risk factors may be useful in preventing complications arising from mandibular third molar extraction.

The present study assessed the alteration of the liver biochemical enzymes following dermal exposure to petroleum motor spirit (pms) on 25 albino whister rats. 10 served as control while the treated had 15 albino whister rats and clustered into 3 based on the treatment scheme (1ml, 2ml, and 3ml). The serum biochemical assays, body weight, and histopathology of the liver where evaluated. The study revealed the mean of 101.20±2.781 and 111.40±2.591 for weight before and after treatement respectively with a statistically significant (t= -20.821, df= 9, p=<0.05) for control subjects. While the mean of the treated group (PMS) was 116.67±12.199 and 110.33±11.872 for weight before and after treatment correspondingly. The study demonstrated a statistically significant mean difference between the two different weights for pre and post treatment exposure. In analyzing the biochemical assays, the result of treatment with 1ml PMS showed a moderate increase in ALP (11.60±.548) when compared to the control (11.40±0.516), while AST and ALT significantly decreased (192.00±19.170 and 110.80±9.311) when compared to the control (245.40±4.648 and 143.60±13.426) at P<0.05. When treated with 2ml PMS the ALP, AST, ALT (12.60±.548, 298.20±29.029 and 172.80±20.266) all increased when compared to the control (11.40±0.516, 245.40±4.648 and 143.60±13.426) at p<0.05. The mean comparison of the treatment of albino whister rats using 3ml PMS showed a significant increase in ALP and AST (14.00±2.739 and 275.40±30.672) when compared to the control (11.40±0.516 and 245.40±4.648) at p<0.05. But, comparing the obtained result of ALT, result showed a decrease in the level of ALT (118.00±27.386) when compared to control (143.60±13.426). The histopathological examination results as described in the histopathology report shows significant suggestion of deformation in the cell structure of hepatocytes subsequent to treatment with varying doses of PMS. Dermal exposure of these xenobiotics is almost certainl
