Internal mammary artery perforators as recipient vessels for free tissue transfer in head and neck reconstruction: A case report and literature review
Authors: Scaglioni Mario F. , Meroni Matteo , Fritsche Elmar , Rajan Gunesh 
Published: November 2020

AbstractHead and neck defect reconstruction is a common challenge for plastic surgeons. Microsurgical free tissue transfer is a frequently used solution but its success strictly depends on the quality of recipient vessels. A particularly demanding situation occurs when there are no nearby available vessels because of previous extensive neck dissection and radiotherapy. In similar cases, it is necessary to resort to other and farther vessels. Common alternatives might be the thoraco‐acromial vessels, the transverse cervical vessels, and the internal mammary vessel. Recently, the perforator vessels of the internal mammary artery and vein were shown to be safe alternatives as recipient vessels for autologous breast reconstruction, causing less morbidity and allowing adequate perfusion of rather large flaps. Here we present a floor of the mouth reconstruction after cancer relapse resection. In this case, we employed a chimeric anterolateral thigh (ALT) free flap anastomosed to the internal mammary perforator vessels in end‐to‐end fashion. A 46‐years‐old male patient presented a defect in the floor of the mouth and base of the tongue after cancer removal. No nearby vessels were available because of extensive fibrosis and damages due to previous surgeries and radiotherapy. Therefore, on the basis of our experience in autologous breast reconstruction, we chose the internal mammary perforator vessels in the recipient side and we harvested a chimeric ALT‐based skin island then split into two parts for mouth reconstruction and monitoring. We performed the anastomosis resorting to internal mammary perforator vessels and we obtained a satisfactory result from both the functional and aesthetic point of view. Postoperative course was uneventful and at 6 months follow up the reconstructive result was good with no functional issue. We believe that this might be a valid and modern evolution of the use of internal mammary vessels as recipient vessels and that it is a worthy addition in the field of perforator‐anastomosed flaps, extending its application also to head and neck reconstructions. Moreover, a brief literature review about alternative recipient vessels for depleted neck is also provided.

ABSTRACTObjectivesThe C19PRC study aims to assess the impact of the COVID‐19 pandemic in the adult population of the UK, Republic of Ireland, and Spain. This paper describes the conduct of the first two waves of the UK survey (the “parent” strand of the Consortium) during March–April 2020.MethodsA longitudinal, internet panel survey was designed to assess: (1) COVID‐19 related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors; (2) the occurrence of common mental health disorders as well as the role of (3) psychological factors and (4) social and political attitudes, in influencing the public's response to the pandemic. Quota sampling (age, sex, and household income) was used to recruit a nationally representative sample of adults.ResultsTwo thousand and twenty five adults were recruited at baseline, and 1406 were followed‐up one‐month later (69.4% retention rate). The baseline sample was representative of the UK population in relation to economic activity, ethnicity, and household composition. Attrition was predicted by key socio‐demographic characteristics, and an inverse probability weighting procedure was employed to ensure the follow‐up sample was representative of the baseline sample.ConclusionThe C19PRC study data has strong generalizability to facilitate and stimulate interdisciplinary research on important public health questions relating to the COVID‐19 pandemic.
Li‐decorated Al2C monolayer as a potential template for hydrogen storage: A first‐principles perspective
Authors: Rahimi Rezvan , Solimannejad Mohammad 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThe potential application of Li‐decorated Al2C template for hydrogen storage is researched by using periodic DFT computations. Based on the obtained results, pristine Al2C monolayer gets adsorb up to four H2 molecules that give hydrogen uptake capacities of 5.7 wt% with an average binding energy of 0.14 eV/H2. It is predicted that the decoration of Al2C monolayer with Li atoms significantly improves the hydrogen storage ability of the desired monolayer compared to that of pristine Al2C monolayer. This can be attributed to the polarization of H2 molecules induced by the charge transfer from Li atoms to Al2C monolayer. Decoration of Al2C monolayer with two Li atoms gives a promising medium that gets adsorb maximum of ten H2 molecules with hydrogen uptake capacities of 12.1 wt% and adsorption energies within the range of 0.24‐0.47 eV. It is inferred that hydrogen desorption from 2Li/Al2C(10H2) system can occur at TD = 313 K and P = 1 atm which is near to the ambient conditions. This is an important result indicating potential usage of 2Li/Al2C medium for hydrogen storage purposes.

AbstractIntroductionMnemonic strategy training (MST) has been shown to improve cognitive performance and increase brain activation in those with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, little is known regarding the effects of MST on functional connectivity (FC) at rest. The aim of the present study was to investigate the MST focused on face‐name associations effect on resting‐state FC in those with MCIMethodsTwenty‐six amnestic MCI participants were randomized in MST (N = 14) and Education Program (active control; N = 12). Interventions occurred twice a week over two consecutive weeks (ie, four sessions). Resting‐state functional magnetic resonance imaging was collected at pre‐ and post‐intervention. Regions of interest (ROIs) were selected based on areas that previously showed task‐related activation changes after MST. Changes were examined through ROI‐to‐ROI analysis and significant results were corrected for multiple comparisons.ResultsAt post‐intervention, only the MST group showed increased FC, whereas the control group showed decreased or no change in FC. After MST, there was an increased FC between the left middle temporal gyrus and right orbitofrontal cortex. In addition, a time‐by‐group interaction indicated that the MST group showed greater increased FC between the right inferior frontal gyrus and left brain regions, such as fusiform gyrus, temporal pole, and orbitofrontal cortex relative to controls.DiscussionMST enhanced FC in regions that are functionally relevant for the training; however, not in all ROIs investigated. Our findings suggest that MST‐induced changes are reflected in task‐specific conditions, as previously reported, but also in general innate connectivity. Our results both enhance knowledge about the mechanisms underlying MST effects and may provide neurophysiological evidence of training transfer.

Published: November 2020

AbstractThe non-uniform temperature and crystallinity distributions present in carbon fiber–reinforced PA12 composite pipes, produced via laser-assisted tape winding (LATW), are investigated in this paper. The width of the laser source is usually larger than the substrate width which causes multiple heating and cooling of some regions of the (neighboring) substrate and hence temperature and crystallinity gradients during the adjacent hoop winding. A kinematic-optical-thermal (KOT) model coupled with a non-isothermal crystallinity model is developed to capture the transient temperature and crystallinity distributions for growing substrate thickness and width. The predicted temperature trends are validated with thermocouple and thermal camera measurements. The substrate temperature varies in the width direction up to 52%. This will lead to extra polymer remelting and possible degradation. The maximum variation of the crystallinity degree across the width is found to be 270% which shows agreement with the trend of the measured crystallinity degree. It is found that a more realistic description of the melting behavior of the matrix is needed to obtain a more accurate prediction of the crystallinity distribution.

AbstractThe “3 Good Questions” program was developed to increase shared decision making. The current pilot-study determined the feasibility of these questions to increase shared decision-making in Dutch pediatric medicine. Pre-/postintervention surveys were used to include children (10–18 years) at pediatric outpatient clinics of four hospitals in the Netherlands. After their appointment, two different groups of children completed the questionnaires. Group 1 filled in the survey before the intervention; group 2 completed the survey after active implementation of the “3 Good Questions” program. The primary outcome was to determine the feasibility (reach, applicability). Secondary outcomes were related to patient involvement in healthcare and treatment decisions and decision-making process between child and healthcare professional. In total, 168 and 114 children in groups 1 and 2 (61 vs 63% female, P = 0.68; age 13.3 ± 2.4 vs 13.8 ± 2.4 years, P = 0.72), respectively, completed the questionnaire. In group 2, 44% of children were aware of the “3 Good Questions”, of whom 18% posed ≥ 1 of the “3 Good Questions” during their appointment (feasibility). The “3 Good Questions” program led to more shared decision-making (SDM-Q-9: P = < 0.001;95%CI: − 2.43 to − 1.17). The majority of children who have read or heard of the “3 Good Questions” would recommend this program to other children.Conclusion: Implementation of the “3 Good Questions” program seemed feasible, although it is necessary to further explore the implementation of this program at national level as a simple way for children and healthcare professionals to share decisions in practice.

What is known• Children have the right to be included in decision-making, and inclusion can improve patient satisfaction and quality of care, and reduce costs.• The “3 Good Questions” program was successfully implemented in adult healthcare to increase shared decision making, and therefore these “3 Good Questions” have been adapted to a child version.What is new• In this pilot study, we found that the implementation of the “3 Good Questions” program to increase shared decision-making in pediatric medicine seemed feasible. Although it is necessary to further explore the implementation of the “3 Good Questions” program at national level as a simple way for children and healthcare professionals to share decisions in practice.
Overcoming the social stigma of consuming food waste by dining at the Open Table
Authors: Edwards Ferne 
Published: November 2020

AbstractStigma is often encountered by recipients who receive food donations from charities, while the consumption of wasted food, also traditionally considered to be a stigmatized practice, has recently become part of a popular food rescue movement that seeks to reduce environmental impacts. These two stigmas—charitable donation and the consumption of waste—are brought together at the Open Table, a community group in Melbourne, Australia, that serves community meals cooked from surplus food. This paper examines how Open Table de-stigmatizes food donations through food waste discourse to enable greater social inclusion. I draw on the experiences of donors, cooks, volunteers and eaters gathered from diverse Open Table sites. Taking a ‘follow-the-thing’ approach, I analyze how food ‘waste’ becomes re-valued by embracing goals of environmental justice enacted through local processes of care and conviviality. Relying on networks of volunteers and not-for-profit agencies, Open Table provides a simple, effective and adaptable model for possible replication for overcoming drawbacks of traditional charity practices. Critically though, as hunger in society continues to grow, this approach is increasingly threatened by the need to ‘single out’ disadvantaged recipients to justify continued supply. This paper contributes to food poverty, waste, and Alternative Food Network literature in two important ways: first, by analyzing the outcomes of community food redistribution approaches with regards to stigma and inclusion; and secondly, by arguing that such holistic approaches need to be acknowledged, valued and supported to shift current discourses and practice.
An interior point-proximal method of multipliers for convex quadratic programming
Authors: Pougkakiotis Spyridon , Gondzio Jacek 
Published: November 2020

AbstractIn this paper we combine an infeasible Interior Point Method (IPM) with the Proximal Method of Multipliers (PMM). The resulting algorithm (IP-PMM) is interpreted as a primal-dual regularized IPM, suitable for solving linearly constrained convex quadratic programming problems. We apply few iterations of the interior point method to each sub-problem of the proximal method of multipliers. Once a satisfactory solution of the PMM sub-problem is found, we update the PMM parameters, form a new IPM neighbourhood and repeat this process. Given this framework, we prove polynomial complexity of the algorithm, under standard assumptions. To our knowledge, this is the first polynomial complexity result for a primal-dual regularized IPM. The algorithm is guided by the use of a single penalty parameter; that of the logarithmic barrier. In other words, we show that IP-PMM inherits the polynomial complexity of IPMs, as well as the strict convexity of the PMM sub-problems. The updates of the penalty parameter are controlled by IPM, and hence are well-tuned, and do not depend on the problem solved. Furthermore, we study the behavior of the method when it is applied to an infeasible problem, and identify a necessary condition for infeasibility. The latter is used to construct an infeasibility detection mechanism. Subsequently, we provide a robust implementation of the presented algorithm and test it over a set of small to large scale linear and convex quadratic programming problems. The numerical results demonstrate the benefits of using regularization in IPMs as well as the reliability of the method.
A survey of Big Data dimensions vs Social Networks analysis

Published: November 2020

AbstractThe pervasive diffusion of Social Networks (SN) produced an unprecedented amount of heterogeneous data. Thus, traditional approaches quickly became unpractical for real life applications due their intrinsic properties: large amount of user-generated data (text, video, image and audio), data heterogeneity and high speed generation rate. More in detail, the analysis of user generated data by popular social networks (i.e Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/), Twitter (https://www.twitter.com/), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/), LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/)) poses quite intriguing challenges for both research and industry communities in the task of analyzing user behavior, user interactions, link evolution, opinion spreading and several other important aspects. This survey will focus on the analyses performed in last two decades on these kind of data w.r.t. the dimensions defined for Big Data paradigm (the so called Big Data 6 V’s).
A digital twins concept model for integrated maintenance: a case study for crane operation
Authors: Szpytko Janusz , Salgado Duarte Yorlandys 
Published: November 2020

AbstractThe paper presents an Integrated Maintenance Decision Making Model (IMDMM) concept for cranes under operation especially into the container type terminals. The target is to improve cranes operational efficiency through minimizing the risk of the Gantry Cranes Inefficiency (GCI) results based on the implementation of the Digital Twins concept for maintenance purposes. The proposed model makes a joint transportation process and crane maintenance scheduling, relevant to assure more robust performances in stochastic environments, as well as to assess and optimize performances at different levels, from components and transport device to production systems (container terminal). The crane operation risk is estimated with a sequential Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation model and the optimization model behind of IMDMM is supported through the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithms because the objective function a non-linear stochastics problem with bounded constrains. The developed model allows the container terminal operators (management process) to obtain a maintenance schedule that minimizes the GCI (holistic indicator), as well as establishing the desired level of risk. The paper demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed maintenance decision making concept model for cranes under operation using data from of a real container terminal (case study).
Does It Take Two to Tango? Examining How Applicants and Interviewers Adapt Their Impression Management to Each Other
Authors: Wilhelmy Annika , Roulin Nicolas , Wingate Timothy G. 
Published: November 2020

AbstractAlthough research has long examined applicants’ use of impression management (IM) behaviors in the interview, interviewers’ IM has only been recently investigated, and no research has attempted to combine both. The aim of this research was to examine whether and how applicants and interviewers adapt their IM to one another. To answer this question, we bring together IM, signaling theory, and the concept of adjacency pairs from linguistics, and carried out two studies. Study 1 was an observational study with field data (N = 30 interviews including a total of 6290 turns of speech by interviewers and applicants). Results showed that both applicants and interviewers are more likely to engage in IM in a way that can be considered as a “preferred” (vs. “dispreferred”) response pattern. That is, self-focused IM is particularly likely to occur as a response to other-focused IM, other-focused IM as a response to self-focused IM, and job/organization-focused IM as a response to job/organization-focused IM. In study 2, we used a within-subjects design to experimentally manipulate interviewer IM and examine its impact on (N = 120) applicants’ IM behaviors during the interview. Applicants who engaged more in “preferred” IM responses were evaluated as performing better in the interview by external raters. However, “preferred” IM responses were not associated with any other interview outcomes. Altogether, our findings highlight the adaptive nature of interpersonal influence in employment interviews, and call for more research examining the dynamic interactions between interviewers and applicants.
Unusually high sea level at the south coast of Japan in September 2011 induced by the Kuroshio

Published: November 2020

AbstractUsing a coastal assimilation model, generation mechanism of unusually high sea level (UHSL) at the south coast of Japan in September 2011 is investigated. Both model results and tide gauge observations indicate that sea level rise associated with the UHSL event occurred twice in the middle and end of September. The first one, which is localized around the eastern part of the Seto Inland Sea, is caused by a cyclonic circulation in the Kii Channel formed as a result of northward migration of the Kuroshio axis toward Cape Shionomisaki. The second sea level rise, which is the main contributor to this UHSL event, is observed in wide areas not only at the south coast of Japan, but also at the coast of the Japan Sea. It is brought about by a coastal trapped wave (CTW) induced as a result of a fluctuation of the Kuroshio path to the south of the Boso Peninsula. The CTW with positive SSH anomalies propagates westward along the south coast of Japan, and then goes into the coast of the Japan Sea. Sensitivity experiments and a modal characteristic analysis indicate that the CTW is mainly characterized by the first mode baroclinic Kelvin wave. The phase speed for the first mode is calculated at 2.96 m s$$^{-1}$$
