Objective: .Streptococcus mutans is considered one of the bacteria that causes necrosis, as it metabolism sugar to obtain energy, producing an acidic environment and causing depression in the enamel surface, which causes the dissolution of the calcium molecule, a problem of cavited in the tooth; so the aim of the research is to evaluate the effect of mouthwashes chlorhexidine 0.12% - honey 50% - propolis 5% on Streptococcus mutans in children.Study design: A laboratory study to assess the efficiency of chlorhexidine, honey and Propolis on Streptococcus mutans counts. The sample included 60 children divided into: G1 (Chlorhexidine 0.12% = 20 children), G2 (Propolis 5% = 20 children), G3 (Honey 100% = 20 children). The data was analyzed using the statistical analysis program SPSS, version 13.00, at a confidence level of 95% (P <0.05(. Paired sample T test was used to compare the variable means of the values of the studied variables.Results: There is significant difference between three groups. The reduction ratio was 89.97% in G1, 85.49% in G2 and 76.29% in G3.Conclusion: This study demonstrated the effectiveness of mouthwashes of chlorhexidine, propolis and honey on the bacteria of Streptococcus mutans.

The preferred learning styles of Palestine Technical University Kadoorie students and the effect of some variables on them

This research aimed at investigating about the preferred learning styles and the effect of some variables such as the university branch, gender, education program, academic year, specialization, and cumulative average. To achieve that, the two researchers used the Index of learning styles (ILS) developed by Felder and Solomon (Litzinger, et al, 2005) consisting of 44 items to evaluate learning preferences, and which was applied on purpose cluster sample of (345) students. After using the SPSS statistical analysis program, the results of the study show that the preferred learning style in descending order is (active-reflective, visual-verbal, sequential-global, and sensing-intuitive). The study also revealed that there are statistically significant differences for the visual-verbal style according to Ramallah and Arrob branch, also there are statistically significant differences for sequential-global style according to gender in favor of females. And there are no statistically significant differences for education program, academic year, specialization, and cumulative average.
