Unveiling the Challenges of Gender-Based Violence NGOs in South Africa
Despite heightened awareness and activism, South Africa grapples with alarming rates of gender-based violence (GBV). This exploratory qualitative research investigated the trends, practices, and drivers of decision-making in the GBV domain to understand the complexities of addressing this pervasive issue. Thematic analysis of the interviews with staff from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) revealed that South African NGOs interviewed predomin…
Wisdom Tooth Formation as a Method of Estimating Age in a New Zealand Population
Dental ageing relies on assumptions aboutthe progression of tooth development from the middletrimester to adulthood and relative stability of thisprocess in the face of adverse dietary, hormonal, diseaseor nutritional factors. Most studies of dental ageingemploy the method of Demirjian et al., (1973), which isbased upon an assessment of crown and root formationstages from dental radiographs. Unfortunately, thismethod has a ceiling effect at age 1…
Biomechanical Analysis of the Canine Tuberculum Dentale
We evaluate the structural significance of the development of a canine tuberculum dentale by means of three-dimensional finite element analysis. Using a scanned human permanent canine, we construct a computer generated canine, together with alveolar bone and periodontal ligament onto which we morph two cingulum shapes, namely a flat palatal surface and a stylised tuberculum dentale. We then subject the three shapes (flat, normal cingulum, and pro…
Aspects of cervical vertebral growth and dental development in New Zealand children
Advanced dental maturation in New Zealand Maori and Pacific Island children
This study employs Demirjian's (1994: CD Rom. Norwood, MA: Silver Platter Education) method for assessing dental maturation to compare the rates of development in children of three ethnic populations living in New Zealand-Maori, Pacific Island, and European. We test the hypothesis that Maori and Pacific Island children will have significantly advanced dental maturation compared with New Zealand children of European extraction. The study populatio…
The Incidence and Expression of the Subcondylar Tubercle of the Mandible in Early Polynesians, Modern Indians and Modern Europeans
A sample of pre-European Polynesian and Melanesian mandibles, modern Asian Indians and cadaveric European mandibles were investigated to establish the prevalence of a subcondylar tubercle and to attempt to relate its presence to mandibular function. Among the three population samples, the subcondylar tubercle appeared 1.5 times more frequently among the Polynesians/Melanesians, than either the Indian or European groups. It was fairly equally pres…
Spiral computed tomographic study of a pre-Ptolemaic Egyptian mummy
We studied an Egyptian mummy housed in the Otago Museum, Dunedin, New Zealand. Radiocarbon dating indicates that the age of the mummy is 2,358 BP, which is the period of the 30th Dynasty of Nakhthorhebe. Serial CT scans show that the heart had been removed, which is unusual among Egyptian mummies. In contrast, the brain had been left in situ. The orbital breadth suggests a degree of hypertelorism, being at the upper limit of the values recorded f…
Fluctuating asymmetry and physical health among young adults
Effect of Down syndrome on the dimensions of dental crowns and tissues
Effect of Down syndrome on the dimensions of dental crowns and tissues
Abnormal growth in Down syndrome (DS) is reflected by variable reduction in size and simplification in form of many physical traits. This study aimed to compare the thickness of enamel and dentine in deciduous and permanent mandibular incisor teeth between DS and non-DS individuals and to clarify how these tissues contribute to altered tooth size in DS. Sample groups comprised 61 mandibular incisors (29 permanent and 32 deciduous) from DS individ…
Patterns of dental wear in the early Maori dentition
The levels of tooth wear were surveyed in 50 pre‐contact Maori skulls (23 of them female) from New Zealand. In addition to a generalized tooth wear index, we evaluated occlusal wear for erosion and abrasion. Occlusal microwear was also investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images and, finally, the occlusal slope was determined at the level of the first molar teeth. The general pattern of wear was one of severe occlusal reduction w…
Periapical lesions and dental wear in the early Maori
Dental wear and intrabony lesions were evaluated in a sample of 225 skulls (136 male) of pre‐contact New Zealand Maoris. The degree and direction of surface wear was scored according to the method of Molnar ( Molnar 1971 . Human tooth wear, tooth function and cultural variability. American Journal of Physical Anthropology34: 175–190) and revealed severe surface loss in both males and females with horizontal wear being the dominant pattern (62.4% …
Premaxillary suture in early polynesians
The patency of the premaxillary suture in adult humans remains controversial. Here we report on the extent and shape of the suture in 51 precontact New Zealand Maori adults (21 males, 30 females). When data were combined for both sides and also for full or more than half patency, males showed a prevalence of 44.2% and females of 33.5%. Females were found to have significantly more sinusoidal rather than V-shaped forms. We hypothesize that the ret…
Biomechanics of masticatory force production
Dental asymmetry, maternal obesity, and smoking
This study examines the levels of fluctuating dental asymmetry in four samples of school children: those whose mothers were obese and had smoked during the pregnancy concerned (n = 111); those whose mothers were obese non-smokers (n = 114); those whose mothers were non-obese smokers (n = 104); and those whose mothers were lean non-smokers (n = 111). The degree of fluctuating asymmetry was assessed by means of a rescaled asymmetry measure. Obesity…
