The document discusses factors affecting dental hygiene among Latino children. It finds that low socioeconomic status is associated with poor dental hygiene, as Latino children experience higher rates of dental problems than non-Latino children. Barriers like low income, lack of insurance, low education, and poor nutrition impact dental hygiene. However, increasing dental education and access to care can help reduce disparities. Improving education on proper hygiene can help lower dental problems, even for families who cannot regularly visit dentists due to financial hardship.
Contra Costa Health Services (CCHS) and The Los Angeles Trust for Children’s Health (L.A. Trust) have both implemented successful initiatives to expand access to oral health in school settings. This workshop will describe how CCHS established a network of school-based dental clinics and key considerations faced in this process, including defining scope of services, process for obtaining parental consent, how to work with patients without parents present, strategies for integrating dental services into existing medical clinics, key partnerships, and considerations for providing dental services in a mobile setting. Next, the L.A. Trust will share their Oral Health Initiative Model and best practices around coordinating with school district personnel, gathering data, providing health education, and increasing screening consent returns. They will also discuss oral health policy opportunities to ensure broader and more robust implementation of school-based oral health screenings and care.

Design and Implementation Of Packet Switched Network Based RKT-NoC on FPGAIJERA Editor
In this Paper we proposed a new network on chip that handles accurate localization of the faulty parts of NoC. The proposed NoC is based on new error detection mechanism and modified xy routing algorithm. Error detection mechanism suitable for dynamic NoCs, where the number and position of the processor elements or faulty blocks vary during run time. This paper also presents a modified xy routing algorithm combined with a scheduler to be used on NoCs.This proposed method is fast way to transferring data via specific path between two nodes in the network and the scheduler further helps to avoid collision. More latency and fewer throughputs are obtained with contentation in network. As mesh size increases latency and throughputs increases accordingly. The proposed design implemented in SPARTAN III FPGA by using Xilinx ISE13.4and simulated in Questa sim 10.0b.

A survey on sentence fusion techniques of abstractive text summarizationIJERA Editor
Sentence fusion is one of the tasks of automatic text summarization that has wide spread applications in the field of computer science. It is currently used in automatic text summarization and question answering systems. It is also used in natural language generation systems in the name of sentence aggregation. The task of sentence fusion poses various challenges like deciding whether two sentences can be combined or not, which part of a sentence should be selected for combination, how these parts can be combined and how to fit the combinations in a grammatically correct sentence structure. In this paper we discuss about the research done on sentence fusion and various challenges that are yet to be met.
Fluid Structure Interaction Based Investigation of Convergent-Divergent NozzleIJERA Editor
In present work, a convergent-divergent nozzle is designed aerodynamically. Structural loads of nozzle from fluid flow and temperature of fluid in it. Initially, CFD simulation is conducted with thermal considerations in range of nozzle NPR values. Besides, CFD result is used as load in structural analysis of nozzle. Nozzle is working in range of NPR in its service from designed NPR. Maximum load over nozzle structure may happen at any NPR value of flow. Problem associated with nozzle structure design is prediction of load at various nozzle pressure ratio ranges. It is difficult to find and solve this problem analytically. Experimentation will lead to investigation as costlier one. Therefore, we require computation method to find load at various NPR. Maximum load from CFD simulation is used to structural simulation for finalizing thickness of nozzle. Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) is the interaction of some movable or deformable structure with an internal or surrounding fluid flow. Fluid-structure interaction can be stable or oscillatory. Fluid-structure interaction problems and multi-physics problems in general are often too complex to solve analytically and so they have to be analyzed by means of experiments or numerical simulation

The number Hispanic children acquiring oral diseases continue to rise on a daily basis. Inadequate knowledge of the benefits of having good oral hygiene has been cited to be the prime cause of increased infections of oral diseases. Primary intervention may be utilized to protect the Hispanic population from the risks of oral diseases. It entails promoting good health and protecting the health of Hispanic children against the threats of this disease. It prevents any problems from happening for the first time as it reduces exposure to factors that are more risky. Its implementation happens before the development of any complication and populations that are well of the ones being targeted (Community Health Nurses of Canada, 2012).
Health care providers play a significant role towards reducing the rate at which oral diseases spread among members of the Hispanic population. They should participate in activities that are aimed at preventing the occurrence of this disease. For instance, they should educate members of the Hispanic population on the need to have a better dental hygiene. Moreover, they should implement programs within the community which aim at creating awareness of the benefits of having a good dental hygiene. This will enable members of the Hispanic population to change their perception towards dental hygiene, and this will play a vital role towards preventing oral diseases from occurring (Minnesota Department of Health, 2001).
The Hispanic group holds a certain perception about dental hygiene. They believe that general health is of much importance than dental hygiene. It makes them be more vulnerable to oral diseases because of the stand that they have taken. This clearly shows why oral diseases continue to spread among Hispanic children as they don’t consider their dental hygiene to be of great benefit.
Several community resources need to be put in place in order to prevent Hispanic children from acquiring oral diseases. First and foremost, there is a need to spread health facilities in every location of the community to ensure that members of the Hispanic population have access to oral care. It is because many individuals are geographically disadvantaged and less privileged; this makes it difficult for them to access oral care. Furthermore, such people are more vulnerable oral diseases (Schaffer, et al., 2004).
Financial resources are also of great benefit towards prevention of oral diseases among members of the Hispanic population. Hispanic children are unable to access health care because of high levels of poverty. Moreover, they do not have insurance coverage for dental complications, and this increas.
Assess the Oral Hygiene Practices, Occurrence of Dental Caries and Gingivitis...ijtsrd
Background Dental caries continues to be a major health issue for worldwide population which decreases individual’s quality of life. In children dental caries and gingivitis are major health problem due to lack of preventive efforts and change in dietary requirement. According to WHO, oral health awareness among children can be promoted through schools by improving good knowledge, attitude and behavior related to oral health that will be helpful for prevention and control of dental diseases among children. Hence there is a necessity to find out oral hygiene practices and occurrence of dental caries among school age children. With this background, researcher make a plan to conduct a survey with the following objective. Objective To assess dental caries, gingivitis and oral hygiene practices among school age children in a selected community area. Methodology A quantitative approach with cross sectional descriptive design was used to assess dental caries, gingivitis and oral hygiene practices among children. 195 school going children residing in rural area of Doiwala block were selected by using convenience sampling technique. Data was collected by pretested questionnaire. Ethical permission was obtained from institutional ethical committee and informed consent was taken from study participants. Results The statistical finding shows that 184 94.36 mothers had not attend any education related to dental hygiene previously. Maximum mothers 97.95 have taught their child how to brush the teeth. It was surprising to note that 144 58.96 of children found to be suffering from dental caries. It was found that 38.79 of children were suffering with teeth pain. Very less 45 29.9 children had reported that they had visited dentist. There was significant association found between material use for remove food debris between the teeth’s and dental caries at p .001 . There was also significant association found between technique use for brushing teeth and dental caries p 0.003 . Conclusion The research findings showed that school age children give very less importance to oral hygiene. In this study we found greater need of health education and encouraging parents regarding children oral hygiene which can be beneficial to prevent dental caries among school going children.

Introduction
Early-severe childhood caries re-
mains a significant public dental
health issue in the U.S. and interna-
tionally.1 The most common chronic
disease in children, dental caries is
5-times more prevalent than asthma
and 7-times more prevalent than
hay fever.2 Approximately 19% of
U.S. children aged 2 to 4 have ex-
perienced visually detectable den-
tal decay. Data from the National
Health Nutrition Examination Survey
(NHANES) reveal that the number of
children aged 2 to 5 with dental car-
ies increased from 24 to 28% from
1999 to 2004.3 Nineteen percent of
U.S. children aged 2 to 4 have visu-
ally detectable dental caries.4 Over-
all, children of poverty experience
more extensive dental disease and
have less access to dental care.5,6 For
example, 25% of children living in
poverty have not seen a dentist be-
fore the age of 5, experience twice
the dental caries as their more afflu-
ent peers and are more likely to have
untreated oral disease.4-6
In 2005, the Virginia Department of Medical As-
sistance Services introduced the Smiles For Children
(SFC) program, providing coverage for diagnostic,
preventive and restorative/surgical procedures, as
well as orthodontic services for Medicaid, Family Ac-
cess to Medical Services Plan (FAMIS) and FAMIS
Plus children.7 The program also provides coverage
for limited medically necessary oral surgery services
for adults age 21 and older. Reasons cited by par-
ents for not involving their children in preventive
dental programs or establishing an ongoing dental
provider or dental home include the inability to take
time off from work, living a transient lifestyle and
being unable to find a dentist who participates in
the SFC program.7-11 Dentists are reluctant to par-

Abstract
Purpose: This study assessed the oral health knowledge, confi-
dence and practices of Virginia personnel in the Special Supple-
mental Food Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC).
Methods: In 2009, 257 WIC personnel were electronically emailed
via an investigator-designed 22-item Survey Monkey® question-
naire. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square and Fishers Exact tests
compared personnel demographics and oral health knowledge,
confidence and practices at the p≤0.01 and 0.05 significance level.
Results: Response rate was 68%. WIC personnel were knowl-
edgeable about basic oral health concepts. More than half of those
reporting were not confident assessing for visual signs of dental
decay and do not routinely assess for visual signs of decay. Only
4% of personnel apply fluoride therapy.
Conclusion: Findings support the need for health promotion/dis-

Background
The Latino population is rapidly
growing and Latino children are
experiencing higher rates of caries,
more untreated caries and more
urgent dental care needs than non-
Latino children.
Barriers such as having low-income,
being uninsured, having low
education, and poor nutrition have
had an impact on maintaining good
dental hygiene in Latino children.
Increasing dental hygiene education
and improving access to care is an
important step in reducing dental
health disparities.
The results imply that low
socioeconomic status is associated with
poor dental hygiene in Latino children.
Results also highlight the importance of
investing more in dental hygiene
education in order to decrease caries
and dental emergencies. Despite not
being able to afford to visit the dentist
on a regular basis, it is important that
parents are informed on how to better
care for their children’s dental hygiene
in order to lower dental problems.

Literature derived from research databases such an CINAHL and Wiley Online Library.
Keywords such as: “Latino”, “dental hygiene”, “children”, ‘Hispanic”, “oral hygiene”,
“caries”, and “cavities” were used. About 1,012 articles were obtained, however, only 7
of those articles matched the keywords and had relevant information to be used.
Based on the results obtained, socioeconomic status plays a major role in the status of
Latino children’s dental hygiene. Although financial hardship is a big issue, lack of
dental hygiene educations is also a factor.
