Images of War in Late Victorian War and Adventure Novels for Children by Dorothea Flothow

“…Although the most prominent of these strategies, the “war-games metaphor,” which trivialized war by comparing it to a football or a cricket match, has been examined by a number of studies, little attention has so far been paid to other conventions of the genre which also serve to familiarize war and suggest its basically harmless nature: the characterization of the novels’ prototypical English boy-hero; their formulaic plot and conventionalized cast; the way the novels remember Britain’s glorious military past to predict her equally victorious future; or the ways by which military defeats and difficulties are glossed over. …”

Quality-Shaping Factors and Endodontic Treatment amongst General Dental Practitioners with a Focus on Denmark by Sune Demant, Merete Markvart, Lars Bjørndal

“…Factors influencing RCT quality could be the status on adoption of nickel-titanium rotary technology, more focus on infection control (rubber dam use, knowledge of factors important for prognosis), as dentists often think that they are good at doing RCT, but often perform inadequately, an alteration of clinician's awareness of their performance in the context of dental practices, seems warranted. …”

Root Canal Stripping: Malpractice or Common Procedural Accident—An Ethical Dilemma in Endodontics by Ionela Elisabeta Ciobanu, Darian Rusu, Stefan-Ioan Stratul, Andreea Cristina Didilescu, Corina Marilena Cristache

“…Root canal stripping is defined as an oblong, vertical perforation that appears especially in the middle section of curved root canals during endodontic treatments with nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments. Its occurrence may drastically affect the outcome of the treatment, transforming a common otherwise efficient endodontic procedure into a complication such as tooth extraction. …”
