Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, causes of tooth loss, and associated factors among the older adult population attending dental clinics in the city of Gharyan in Libya. A descriptive cross-sectional study conducted among adults who came to private clinics in the city of Gharyan in Libya. There were 160 patients participated in the study. Those that met the inclusion criteria had their data collected via self-administered questionnaires. Computer-assisted techniques used to examine the data (IPMSPSS). The results of the present study indicated that the major cause of tooth loss was dental caries (65.56%), followed by periodontal disease (11.88%). and more teeth loss was in the female than male and increased tooth loss with aging. In conclusion, there was a high prevalence of tooth loss. Females lost more teeth than males. Increased proportion of tooth loss seen in the elderly population.

كان الهدف من هذه الدراسة هو التحقيق في انتشار وأسباب فقدان الأسنان والعوامل المرتبطة بها بين كبار السن الذين يرتادون عيادات الأسنان في مدينة غريان في ليبيا. أجريت دراسة وصفية مقطعية بين البالغين الذين جاءوا إلى العيادات الخاصة في مدينة غريان في ليبيا. شارك في الدراسة 160 مريضًا. تم جمع بيانات أولئك الذين استوفوا معايير الإدراج من خلال استبيانات ذاتية الإدارة. تم استخدام تقنيات بمساعدة الكمبيوتر لفحص البيانات (IPMSPSS). أشارت نتائج الدراسة الحالية إلى أن السبب الرئيسي لفقدان الأسنان كان تسوس الأسنان (65.56٪)، يليه مرض اللثة (11.88٪). وكان فقدان الأسنان أكثر لدى الإناث منه لدى الذكور وزيادة فقدان الأسنان مع تقدم العمر. في الختام، كان هناك انتشار كبير لفقدان الأسنان. فقدت الإناث أسنانًا أكثر من الذكور. زادت نسبة فقدان الأسنان لدى كبار السن

applications of complexes are very important in different sectors like the pharmaceutical industrial. So, this study aimed to preparation sodium salts of amino acids complexes by using K2PtCl6, Cu (NO3)2.3H2O, HgCl2 and ZnCl2 as a ligand reaction with the sodium salts of the following amino acids: glycine (glyH), L-alanine (alaH), L-phenylalanine (pheH). The following complexes were isolated: Na [Pt(gly)Cl4] .0.5C2H5OH, [Cu(ala)2].0.5C2H5OH, [Pt(ala)3Cl].C2H5OH.4H2O, [Pt(phe)2Cl2].0.5C2H5OH.1.5H2O, [Hg(phe)2].9H2O, [Zn(phe)2].C2H5OH. The isolated complexes have been characterized by their elemental analysis’s solubility, conductivity measurements, IR, electronic absorption and C13 NMR spectra.

Keywords: Metal complexes, Amino acids, Characterization.

Abstract

Vitamin D deficiency is a prevalent health issue among children, with potential consequences for bone health and overall well-being. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in a pediatric population and identify associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 children (aged 1-10 years) recruited from medical laboratories in Gharyan City, Libya, between January 2022 and June 2024. Participants were categorized based on their vitamin D levels (deficient, insufficient, adequate, or optimal). Demographic data (age, gender) and vitamin D levels were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics and two-way ANOVA. Approximately half of the study participants (49.75%) exhibited vitamin D deficiency. Females had a slightly higher prevalence of deficiency (27.5%) compared to males (22.25%). Significant differences in vitamin D levels were observed across age groups. Infants under 12 months had higher levels compared to older children (36-72 months). While gender was not a significant predictor of vitamin D deficiency in our study, previous research has suggested potential gender-related disparities. The findings of this study highlight the concerning prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among children in the region. Age appears to be a significant factor influencing vitamin D status, with younger children being more susceptible to deficiency. While gender may not be a major determinant in this population. The high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in our study underscores the importance of promoting sun exposure, dietary intake of vitamin D-rich foods, and supplementation strategies to address this public health issue. Further research is needed to explore the underlying factors contributing to vitamin D deficiency in children

Harmonic function is one of an important branches of complex analysis. The first study of complex valued, harmonic mappings defined on a domain D was given by ClunIe and SheIl-Small [1]. Harmonic functions have been studied by different researchers such as Silverman [6]. In the present paper, a new class of harmonic univalent functions will be introduced. Various properties of functions belong to this class which include coefficient bounds, growth bounds, a closure property, extreme points, neighborhood and a convex combination will be obtained.

Synthesizing silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from extracts of various plant parts

and of agricultural waste is strongly affected by pH. These green synthesis

methods cconsidered simple, cost effective, ecofriendly, and biologically

effective. This brief review aimed to survey the role of pH in the green

synthesis of AgNPs using those media, with a focus on its effect on AgNPs

morphology and size. This review article revealed that the alkaline pH (9 -

10) is the optimum condition for synthesizing more stable and tiny uniform

AgNPs. In addition, according to the reviewed articles, the spherical shape is

the most dominant shape of these articles in the basic medium and the size of

these particles decreases at elevated pH values and ranged from 5-40 nm.

This research presents the wireless university campus network and discusses about the strengths and weaknesses of Design a secure wireless campus networks for ABC University in Libya, and about the costs and advantages of different vendor solutions. Wireless offers mobility and is available in locations where a wired outlet doesn't exist. The disadvantages of wireless include some minor interference problems and a quickly evolving and competitive group of standards. The purpose of the research is designing and implementing a secure campus network for Libyan university based on Cisco equipments. Moreover, the research can provide practical experience in network design, configuration, and security for helping organizations and institutions protect their network resources and data. Two end products or deliverables will result from the research: the first is a new architectural design for an efficient and advanced WLAN-friendly network to ensure the high performance of the data transaction process and ensure high availability of data transmissions. The second product is a report for network administrators or network architecture to guide users towards the achievement of WLAN-friendly by utilising advanced networking tools and technologies.
