Bilateral TMJ Ankylosis: Total Joint Reconstruction in a Patient With Zero Mouth Opening : A Case Report
- 2032
-
In: Craniomaxillofacial research & Innovation. ; 8:1-6
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Present a case of a young patient with bilateral bony ankylosis of the TMJ with zero mouth opening treated with TMJ prosthesis.MethodsThe ankylosis was studied in detail with computed tomography (CT) and we used virtual surgical planning in the pre-operative phase to provide splints and cutting guides. The patient was treated with bilateral custom-made alloplastic TMJ prosthesis.ResultsOptimal functional improvement at the 5.5 year follow up after total joint reconstruction without any adverse effects. Mouth opening was 35 mm and the patient was free from pain. CT-images showed no signs of pathology or increased remodeling and bone formation.ConclusionAnkylosis of the TMJ in young and adult population presents unique challenges given the need to account for growth of the mandible and anatomical variations. This report supports the use of total joint reconstruction for end-stage TMJ disease.

A Systematic Review of Parental Self-efficacy Among Parents of School-Age Children and Adolescents
- 2029
-
In: Adolescent Research Review. - : Springer. - 2363-8346 .- 2363-8354. ; 9:1, s. 75-91
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- What function does parental self-efficacy have for parenting behaviors and children's adjustment, and what explains individual variations in parents' self-efficacy? Parental self-efficacy involves parents' beliefs about their influence on their children and this systematic review presents results from 35 empirical studies published between 2003 and 2022 among parents of school-aged children and adolescents. First, the studies in this review show a bi-directional association between parental self-efficacy and positive parenting, and some empirical evidence that parental self-efficacy influences children indirectly, via parenting. The few longitudinal studies examining associations between parental self-efficacy and child behaviors suggest that self-efficacy might emerge as a reaction to children's behaviors. Second, many child, parent, and sociocultural factors were shown to predict parental self-efficacy (e.g., child gender and age, parents' psychological well-being, and socio-economic status), and results suggest that these associations are similar across multiple countries and age groups. Finally, studies reporting on parental self-efficacy at different time points or a correlation between self-efficacy and the child's age suggested that parental self-efficacy decreases over the school-age and adolescent period. This review shows the complex role of parental self-efficacy in associations with parent and child factors, and it also highlight questions to address for future research.

Reconstructing of the radiation condition and solution for a variable coefficient Helmholtz equation in a semi-infinite strip from Cauchy data on an interior segment
- 2025
-
In: Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications. - : ACADEMIC PRESS INC ELSEVIER SCIENCE. - 0022-247X .- 1096-0813. ; 541:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We consider the Helmholtz equation with a variable coefficient in a semi-infinite strip. Homogeneous Neumann conditions are prescribed on a part of the boundary of the strip. Our aim is to find the unknown function in the Dirichlet boundary condition on the remaining part of the boundary from measurements taken on a segment inside the semi-infinite strip. We assume that the radiation condition at infinity is unknown and must be found also. The main difficulty here is the variable coefficient in the Helmholtz equation which does not allow to apply the method of separation of variable as was done in [2]. Such problems appear in acoustics to determine acoustical sources and surface vibrations from acoustic field measurements in non-uniform mediums. We split the problem in two parts. One consists of finding the radiation condition and this problem is well-posed. We derive the equation for finding the parameter of the radiation condition, that holds at infinity. The second one is to find the Dirichlet data and this problem is ill-posed. We present an operator equation with compact operator for finding the Dirichlet data. (c) 2024 The Author(s).

Childism, Intersectionality and the Rights of the Child : The myth of a happy childhood
- 2025
-
Book (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This book is the first to comprehensively develop the concept of childism to understand, study and analyse age-based discrimination against children.It presents a critical theory to help comprehend intersecting prejudice against children and to examine the weak implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and in what ways violations against children can be analysed through the intersections of racist, sexist and ableist discrimination. The book further offers scholars a new perspective when studying structural forms of discrimination and oppression against children and provides professionals with a new vocabulary on prejudice targeting children when assessing theory, policy and praxis on ‘child-friendly’ and ‘child-centred’ initiatives that overlook the need to protect children against discrimination.This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of human rights, child and youth studies, education, prejudice studies, the United Nations and child law, and more broadly to sociology, social policy, psychology, and social work.

The Multifaceted Seafarer: An Explorative Discourse Analysis of Seafarers’ Portrayals in Swedish Maritime Magazines
- 2025
-
In: Ocean and Society. - : Cogitatio Press. ; 2
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Seafaring is a highly male‐dominated occupation. Within the industry, there is an ambition to increase the proportion of women working in maritime professions. In this endeavor, it is relevant to examine how seafarers are portrayed in various contexts. This study aimed to explore the image of seafarers as presented in Swedish maritime magazines: How are seafarers described, and can these descriptions be seen as performative in shaping a professional identity? To meet this aim, a discourse analysis was performed, based on 20 texts from two maritime magazines, representing both rating and officer seafarers. Overall, six subject positions inhabited by seafarers were identified, with several overlapping characteristics. For example, traits of the traditional seafarer were also found in the masculine seafarer and the flexible seafarer. Furthermore, it is argued that several of the subject positions are difficult to combine with what is referred to as the gender‐equal seafarer, mainly due to challenges in balancing family life with extended periods at sea. The study shows that today’s seafarers, according to how they are depicted in Swedish maritime magazines, have considerable agency in shaping their own professional identity without being forced to conform to a hegemonic masculinity. Finally, it is suggested that the term “seafarer” be used instead of “seaman” in both print and everyday conversations, for increased inclusiveness and representation.
