The Good Behavior Game (GBG) is a practical and evidence-based classroom management strategy that requires minimal time and resources to learn and implement. This study investigates the effectiveness of the GBG in reducing disruptive behaviors among students with special educational needs (SEN) and compares the degree of behavioral change between students with and without SEN. Additionally, the study examines students' perceptions of the GBG. An ABAB reversal design with a follow-up phase was employed to evaluate the intervention's effects. The study included six participants: three students with SEN who exhibited disruptive behaviors, aged 11 to 14, and three students without SEN who also exhibited disruptive behaviors, aged 11 to 13. The results indicate that the GBG is highly effective in reducing disruptive behaviors, with similar levels of improvement observed in both groups. The social validity findings highlight that students found the GBG enjoyable and engaging. The study discusses its limitations and provides practical implications for educators.

Statement Of Problem: Early childhood caries is one the world's most common problems in infants and treatment of posterior teeth with esthetic crowns in a low rate of wear on opposite dentition is a challenge for pediatric dentists.
Purpose: The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the wear behavior of the tooth colored crown materials and the opposing teeth in using different esthetic crown materials in the mixed dentition period.
Material And Methods: The following tooth type and crown materials were considered in the experiment.

Dual-harm, the co-occurrence of self- and other-harm, recognizes the overlap between these outcomes of aggressive behavior and their potential shared causes. Little progress has been made in preventing and responding to dual-harm in the broader population, and it remains understudied in public health research. We posit that the scientific investigation of dual-harm would greatly benefit from the application of public health principles and methods.

In distribution grids, excessive energy losses not only increase operational costs but also contribute to a larger environmental footprint due to inefficient resource utilization. Ensuring optimal placement of photovoltaic (PV) energy systems is crucial for achieving maximum efficiency and reliability in power distribution networks. This research introduces the Pelican Optimizer (PO) algorithm to optimally integrate solar PV systems to radial electrical distribution grids.
