Introduction/Objective The recognition of differences in individual assessment of facial attractiveness could be valuable assistance in planning the orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to compare facial profile attractiveness changes of patients treated with the Herbst appliance perceived by orthodontists and laypersons. Methods The patient sample comprised 33 young Caucasian still-growing patients, aged 14-18 years, with skeletal class II malocclusion treated with the Herbst and multibracket appliances. Facial profile photographs before and after the treatment were shown to 54 orthodontists and 50 laypersons. In the esthetics oriented poll, the evaluators rated the change in facial appearance. Results The attractiveness scores differed between the two rater groups (p < 0.001), with orthodontists being more generous, whereas there was no significant difference between female and male evaluators in both groups (p > 0.05). However, scores differed significantly in grading female and male patients (p < 0.001), so that female patients got higher scores; younger evaluators graded more critically between different age groups of the evaluators (p < 0.001), as well as between the patients with different initial severity of malocclusion (p < 0.001). Conclusion The difference in attractiveness scores differed between two groups, with laypersons being more critical than orthodontists. Higher scores were given to female patients by both groups, as well as by the evaluators in the older age group.
Polazeći od stanovišta da kontinuirani profesionalni razvoj treba da bude jedan od prioriteta obrazovne politike, u radu se ukazuje na potrebu preispitivanja, reorganizacije, unapređivanja postojećih i kreiranje novih metoda i oblika profesionalnog razvoja stručnjaka u oblasti obrazovanja. Jedna od metoda koja u značajnoj meri može da doprinese unapređenju profesionalnih kompetencija zaposlenih u vaspitno-obrazovnoj delatnosti jeste supervizija. U skladu sa tim, cilj rada usmeren je na razmatranje pretpostavki razvoja supervizije u institucijama formalnog i neformalnog obrazovanja. Polazeći od određenja pojma, karakteristika i ključnih funkcija supervizije, poseban akcenat je stavljen na analizu potencijala razvojno-integrativnog modela supervizije, kao modela koji se pokazao najadekvatnijim okvirom efikasne i delotvorne supervizije u vaspitno-obrazovnoj delatnosti. Takođe, razmatrane su osnovne pretpostavke, neophodni uslovi i prepreke za implementaciju i razvoj supervizije u institucijama formalnog i neformalnog obrazovanja. Zaključuje se da supervizija, a posebno razvojno-integrativna supervizija, treba da bude prepoznata kao poželjan metod koji pruža kontinuitet i održivost u profesionalnom razvoju pojedinca, ali i ekspertsku podršku zaposlenima u vaspitno-obrazovnoj delatnosti, nakon što su izašli iz sistema formalnog obrazovanja.
Purpose:The aim of this investigation was to determine whether the facial esthetics of subjects rated as "attractive" can be related to specific cephalometric soft tissue parameters. Methods: The profile silhouettes of 100 subjects (45 males and 55 females) were rated by 60 esthetics specialists (20 orthodontists, 20 dentists, and 20 plastic surgeons) using a Likert scale, and 30 of the subjects were selected as being "attractive". The cephalometric measurements of the attractive group were then compared with norms for the general Caucasian population. Results:The effects of specific measured parameters on profile beauty grades were assessed using the median test, and the following variables were found to show significant correlations between the Caucasian norms and the attractive profile group: the ratio of the upper to lower face height (P = 0.011), the ratio of the subnasale -labrale inferius (Sn-Li) and labrale inferius -menton (Li-Me`) lines (P = 0.011), the distance between the chin and the subnasale perpendicular (P = 0.002), upper lip thickness (P = 0.021), soft tissue chin thickness (P = 0.021), vertical height ratio (P = 0.021), and nasolabial angle (P = 0.021). Conclusion:A straight profile with a fuller and more protruded upper lip, a higher nasal tip, and a smaller lower facial third are considered to be the most attractive facial features, and may be useful for improvement of facial esthetics.
The COVID-19 era has changed the way most institutions operate, including museums and their educational activities. The aim of this paper is to investigate the types of online learning resources represented on museum websites, as well as to analyse their pedagogical features. Mixed research was applied, while the sample consists of museums included in the relevant portals that provide visibility for cultural institutions in Serbia. The analysis of the research results made it possible to determine the current level of development of pedagogical features of online museum learning resources and to identify opportunities for their improvement.
