Authors: Pawłowska Beata , Dyzma Agnieszka 
Published: November 2021

Abstract

Introduction: In recent years, social networking sites (SNS), such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram have gained immense popularity and have become an essential part of many people’s everyday lives. In Poland, 19 million people, i.e. about a half of the whole population, are active SNS users.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship of family and personality factors with daily SNS usage time in adolescents aged 14 to 19 years.

Participants: The study included 291 junior-high and high school students aged 14–19 years. In this sample, 246 individuals had an SNS profile.

Methods: The following instruments were used: an Inquiry Form designed by the present authors, Gough and Heilbrun’s Adjective Check List, the Coping with Stress Questionnaire by Janke, Erdmann and Boucsein and the Buss and Durkee Hostility-Guilt Inventory.

Results: Based on correlation coefficients, significant associations were found between increased daily SNS usage and negative relationships with parents, maladaptive coping, and increased aggression.

Conclusions: 1. Participants who spent more time using SNS were more likely to feel lonely in their families and have a sense of not being accepted and understood by their parents.
2. Young people who spent more time using SNS were more likely to respond to a stressful situation with a sense of helplessness and resignation and to cope by downplaying their problems and seeking substitute gratification or support.
3. Young people who spent more time using SNS were more likely to respond with indirect aggression, negativism, suspicion, hostility and verbal aggression.

Abstract
Cardiovascular diseases cause approximately one-third of deaths worldwide and an increasing number of individuals with non-fatal ischemic heart disease live with chronic disabilities and impaired quality of life. Cardiac rehabilitation is designed to limit the physiological and psychological effects of cardiac illness, reduce the risk for sudden death or re-infarction, control cardiac symptoms and enhance the psychosocial and vocational status of selected patients.
The study group included a group of 78 patients who had a coronary event no more than 3 months ago and who are included in cardio-vascular recovery programs. The patients were echocardiographic evaluated at the first admission and later at 6 months. The evolution of the patients was a favorable one, being objectified an increase of both the ejection fraction of the left ventricle, as well as an improvement of MAPSE and TAPSE.
Peripheral Neuropathy: A Practical Guide for Internists

Published: November 2021

Abstract
Diagnosing peripheral neuropathy is essential for the majority of clinical specialties, as it often reveals systemic underlying diseases that are rarely purely neurological. The patient’s history and thorough clinical examination represent the foundation of an early diagnosis. For internal medicine practitioners, it is important to consider common causes at first and search for diabetes, alcoholism or vitamin B12 deficiency, whilst following a diagnosis algorithm that encompasses cues to less popular aetiologies such as systemic vasculitis or paraproteinemia. Prior to requesting nerve conduction studies or further investigations, a few characteristics of peripheral neuropathy should be sought: onset, symmetry, distribution and function impairment (either sensory or motor). Given its interdisciplinary nature, peripheral neuropathies are managed via tight collaboration between the specialist and the internist. Although symptomatic treatment for painful neuropathy is available, treating the underlying disease is fundamental.
Grid-Tied Neutral Point Clamped based Centralised Photovoltaic Inverter with Improved DC Link Voltage Balancing and Harmonic Minimisation Control

Published: November 2021

Abstract
This paper proposes an improved space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) based DC link voltage balancing control of a three-phase three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) centralised inverter supplying the generated power from photo voltaic (PV) array to a three-phase utility grid. Two possible schemes have been developed based on the power conversion stage between PV array and the utility grid namely, two-stage (three-level boost converter three-phase three-level NPC inverter) and single-stage (three-phase three-level NPC inverter alone). The comparison between these two schemes has been thoroughly discussed in terms of the control strategies employed, power loss analysis and efficiency. The performance of the centralised inverter under different modes of operation has been investigated by developing the required control strategies for smooth operation. Using the proposed control strategy, the centralised inverter can be operated as a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM) during night time, if needed. The power loss incurred in the power-electronic converters has been analysed for constant and also for variable ambient temperature. The effectiveness of the centralised inverter as an active filter (AF) has also been verified when a three-phase non-linear load is considered in the system.

Published: November 2021

Abstract
The search for alternative alumosilicates source for production of alkali activated materials (AAM) is intensively researched. Wide spread of natural materials such as clays and waste materials are one of potential alternatives. In this research AAM was made from local waste brick made of red clay and calcined low-carbonate illite clay precursor and its properties evaluated. Waste silica gel containing amorphous silica from fertilizer production plant was proposed as additional raw material. 6 M and 7 M NaOH alkali activation solutions were used to obtain AAM. Raw materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction, laser particle size analyser, DTA/TG. Raw illite clay was calcined at a temperature of 700 to 800 °C. Waste brick was ground similar as raw clay and powder was obtained. Replacement of red clay with silica gel from 2–50 wt.% in mixture composition was evaluated. Results indicate that the most effective activator was 6 M NaOH solution and AAM with strength up to 13 MPa was obtained. Ground brick had the highest strength results and compressive strength of AAM reached 25 MPa. Silica gel in small quantities had little effect of AAM strength while significant strength reduction was observed with the increase silica gel content. The efflorescence was observed for samples with silica gel.

Late Quaternary deep marine sediment records off southern Africa
Authors: Cawthra H.C. , Bergh E.W. , Wiles E.A. , Compton J.S. 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
High-resolution mapping, sampling and analysis of upper Quaternary southern African continental margin sediments recovered from beyond the Last Glacial Maximum shoreline (&gt;130 m water depth) have expanded our understanding of how marine and terrestrial records are linked over glacial-interglacial climatic cycles. This paper synthesises data currently available from the deep seafloor around southern Africa and, specifically, core sites that demonstrate terrestrial sedimentological connectivity. Several proxies and case studies reveal the evolution of depositional systems, palaeoceanography and palaeoclimate over the last 191 kyr. Hydroacoustic mapping and investigations of submarine canyons have been carried out primarily on the eastern and southwestern margins, while palaeoceanographic productivity and microfossil assemblages have been applied most extensively on the western marine and southern Agulhas Bank. Studies on the western margin indicate that enhanced productivity, less oxygenated bottom waters and reduced marine faunal diversity in the transition to glacial periods, while glacial terminations are associated with reduced productivity and more oxygenated bottom waters. These changes, linked to palaeoceanography and late Quaternary sea-level fluctuations, influence the sedimentary record and sedimentation rates. On the eastern margin, sediment fluxes applied as proxies for rainfall offshore of the Great Kei, Umzimvubu, Limpopo and Zambezi rivers indicate that the southern African climate responds to changes in orbitally-modulated insolation and in particular, to the ~23 kyr precessional cycle, where the proxy records keep pace with this and then diverge at ~80 to 70 kyr. Since the penultimate glacial (Marine Isotope Stage/MIS 6), more humid conditions observed in southern Africa, as the Northern Hemisphere entered phases of rapid cooling, were potentially driven by a combination of warming in the Agulhas Current and shifts of the subtropical anticyclones. Broadly, the sedimentary records reviewed suggest fluctuations in climate and oceanographic circulation that are strongly correlated with the global benthic δ18O record, suggesting sensitivity to high-latitude forcing, and a strong influence of late Quaternary glacial-interglacial cycles despite these marine sites being far-removed from terrestrial environments.

Published: November 2021

Synopsis Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are reported by the patient and designed to capture patients' unique perspectives of their symptoms, quality of life, function, disability, and overall health status. Despite their important role in the health care landscape, it is important to recognize that PROMs have numerous shortcomings. These include weaknesses in the development of tools and interpretation of scale values, which can lead to variable patient reporting and dissimilarities in study results, potentially influencing the effectiveness of findings. This Viewpoint makes recommendations for how to interpret and best use PROMs, in spite of their shortcomings. J Orthop Sports Phys Ther 2021;51(12):562–565.

An isolated cavernous malformation of the sixth cranial nerve: A case report and review of literature
Authors: Samadian Mohammad , Maroufi Seyed Farzad , Bakhtevari Mehrdad Hosseinzadeh , Borghei-Razavi Hamid 
Published: November 2021

Background:Isolated cavernous malformation (CM) of the abducens nerve has not been reported in the literature. Herein, the authors address the clinical importance of these lesions and review the reported cases of CM from 2014 to 2020.Case Description:A 21-year-old man presented with binocular diplopia and headache from 2 months before his admission. The neurological examination revealed right-sided abducens nerve palsy. The brain MRI revealed an extra-axial pontomedullary lesion suggestive of a CM. The lesion was surgically removed. During the operation, the abducens nerve was resected considering the lesion could not be separated from the nerve and an anastomosis was performed using an interposition nerve graft and fibrin glue. Pathological examination of the resected lesion revealed that it was originated from within the nerve. The patient’s condition improved in postoperative follow-ups.Conclusion:Surgical resection of the cranial nerves CMs is appropriate when progressive neurological deficits are present. If the lesion is originated from within the nerve, we suggest resection of the involved nerve and performing anastomosis. Novel MRI sequences might help surgeons to be prepared for such cases and fibrin glue can serve as an appropriate tool to perform anastomosis when end-to-end sutures are impossible to perform.

Published: November 2021

Background:
Stroke-like migraine attacks after radiation therapy (SMART) syndrome is a benign complication of brain radiation therapy, which presents circa a decade after radiation treatment. Symptoms are stroke-like deficits, epileptic seizures, and migraine. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging is characteristic for alterations in the form of unilateral cortical hyperintensities and gyriform enhancement, most prominent in the parieto-occipital regions. Prompt diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary investigations (e.g., brain biopsy and angiography).

Case Description:
We describe a 51-year-old female patient treated initially with cranial irradiation for a left-sided occipital metastatic lung adenocarcinoma. Five years later, she presented with migraine headache, aphasia, and a right sided hemiparesis.

Conclusion:
The triad of migraine, seizure, and hemiparesis within the context of a prior brain radiotherapy should promptly raise the suspicion of SMART syndrome. Prompt diagnosis is essential to avoid unnecessary invasive investigations.
Half a Good House: Flexible Housing For Wellington Home Buyers
Authors:   , Dubbeld Joshua 
Published: November 2021

<p>Increasing population and changing family demographics are driving the need for new and more sustainable housing solutions. Medium-density housing is recognised as a sustainable approach to accommodate future growth within urban centres, challenging suburban sprawl and creating efficient, affordable dwelling. This thesis explores a process to generate a more progressive approach to medium density housing, favouring individual personalisation over inflexible environments that package the occupier. Through the review of precedents, successful principles were used in a series of design studies that examined the potential for gridded spaces to satisfy flexibility and variation, opportunities for community interaction and integration beyond the site. The design resolution was reached through applying those principles on a residential site in Wellington New Zealand. The final design proposes a new approach to housing through the ‘half a good house’ mantra where the bounds of the home are defined volumetrically (the first half), but the internal spaces and walls are free for the occupier to continually adapt depending on their unique and changing needs. The general principles of the design can be applied to other Wellington sites and contexts. They can also be applied in other cities with similar urban housing problems in New Zealand and Australia. If successful, the principles could be developed into a viable solution to the varying and changing needs in future housing.</p>
Seismic Attributes to Constrain the Distribution of Rakopi Formation Coals in the Southwest Offshore Taranaki Basin, New Zealand
Authors:   , Greenfield Harry 
Published: November 2021

<p>The Rakopi Formation, in the Taranaki Basin of New Zealand, is a Late Cretaceous (Haumurian) sequence of coal measures interbedded with siltstone and sparse sandstone. It is the lowest widespread stratigraphic unit in the Taranaki Basin, and has a syn-rift deposition which is concentrated in isolated grabens and sub-basins. It was deposited during the extensional tectonic regime linked to the breakup of Gondwana. The Rakopi is one of the major hydrocarbon source rocks in the Taranaki Basin; New Zealand’s only currently-producing basin. However, there are very few well penetrations of the Cretaceous interval within the basin, and this fact – coupled with the non-continuous deposition – means that the Rakopi’s distribution is poorly constrained further away from wells. In petroleum systems models, the entire Rakopi Formation interval is commonly represented entirely as source rock facies. By observing the limited well penetrations available, it is known that this is not the case. As such, it is likely that the total hydrocarbons generated within the basin are overestimated when modelled. Improved constraint of the distribution of the coal within the Rakopi Formation will improve the accuracy of these models. This study presents the results of the extraction and analysis of a suite of seismic attributes from 3D seismic reflection surveys in the southwest offshore Taranaki Basin, for the purpose of constraining the distribution of coal within the Rakopi Formation. The attribute outputs were temporally averaged, with the resulting frequency distributions analysed for significant patterns or variations between the coaly- versus non-coaly vertical intervals of the formation. Within the Maari 3D seismic reflection volume, six attributes were identified which correlated with the presence of coals observed in the Maui-4 well. These attributes were temporally averaged within the Rakopi Formation interval in both the Maari 3D and Pipeline 3D volumes, with the areas of high average values identified as being more likely to contain coal. Using this attribute analysis method, the distribution of coal within the Rakopi Formation has been better constrained. Attribute analysis is easily transferable, and has the potential to be utilised elsewhere for the identification of hydrocarbon source rocks.</p>
