A systematic review of peer mentoring interventions for people with traumatic brain injury
Authors: Morris Richard PG , Fletcher-Smith Joanna C , Radford Kathryn A 
Published: November 2016

Objective: This systematic review sought evidence concerning the effectiveness of peer mentoring for people with traumatic brain injury. Data sources: Fourteen electronic databases were searched, including PsycINFO, MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library, from inception to September 21 2016. Ten grey literature databases, PROSPERO, two trials registers, reference lists and author citations were also searched. Review methods: Studies which employed a model of one-to-one peer mentoring between traumatic brain injury survivors were included. Two reviewers independently screened all titles and abstracts before screening full texts of shortlisted studies. A third reviewer resolved disagreements. Two reviewers independently extracted data and assessed studies for quality and risk of bias. Results: The search returned 753 records, including one identified through hand searching. 495 records remained after removal of duplicates and 459 were excluded after screening. Full texts were assessed for the remaining 36 studies and six met the inclusion criteria. All were conducted in the United States between 1996 and 2012 and employed a variety of designs including two randomised controlled trials. A total of 288 people with traumatic brain injury participated in the studies. No significant improvements in social activity level or social network size were found, but significant improvements were shown in areas including behavioural control, mood, coping and quality of life. Conclusion: There is limited evidence for the effectiveness of peer mentoring after traumatic brain injury. The available evidence comes from small-scale studies, of variable quality, without detailed information on the content of sessions or the ‘active ingredient’ of the interventions.

Published: November 2016

Introduction Vocational training and rehabilitation programs are effective in increasing employability and community participation of individuals with intellectual disabilities. Much of the research on effective programming has been conducted in high-income countries with resources targeted at individuals with intellectual disabilities. Although Trinidad and Tobago is a high-income country, there is a dearth of services and resources available to individuals with intellectual disabilities. This article explores stakeholder perspectives on the current status of vocational training and rehabilitation programs for individuals with intellectual disabilities in Trinidad and Tobago. Method Participants from diverse groups were identified through snowball sampling. Data were collected in the form of semi-structured interviews conducted in person in Trinidad and Tobago and ranging from 45 to 75 minutes in duration. Interviews followed a loose structure of open-ended questions and the person–environment–occupation model helped inform the questions. Results Thirty participants completed the interviews including clients, parents, teachers, principals, non-governmental organization representatives and occupational therapists. Several themes and subthemes emerged including balancing the need for inclusion and segregation, stigma, social policy, issues in current vocational services and independence and expectations. Conclusion Vocational services in Trinidad and Tobago face many challenges including resource shortages and meeting the varying needs of clients. They also provide important safe spaces for socialization and acceptance. Resources are needed to improve the level of current services and to help address the competing and at times contradictory goals of differing stakeholders.

Published: November 2016

Background: Acetazolamide has been investigated for treating sleep apnea in newcomers ascending to high altitude. This study aimed to assess the effect of acetazolamide on sleep apnea at high altitude, determine the optimal therapeutic dose, and compare its effectiveness in healthy trekkers and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) patients. Methods: PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, and Airiti Library databases were searched up to July 2015 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) performed above 2500 m in lowlanders and that used acetazolamide as intervention in sleep studies. Studies including participants with medical conditions other than OSA were excluded. Results: Eight studies of 190 adults were included. In healthy participants, the pooled mean effect sizes of acetazolamide on Apnea–Hypopnea Index (AHI), percentage of periodic breathing time, and nocturnal oxygenation were 34.66 [95% confidence interval (CI) 25.01–44.30] with low heterogeneity ( p = 0.7, I2 = 0%), 38.56% (95% CI 18.92–58.19%) with low heterogeneity ( p = 0.24, I2 = 28%), and 4.75% (95% CI 1.35–8.15%) with high heterogeneity ( p < 0.01, I2 = 87%), respectively. In OSA patients, the pooled mean effect sizes of acetazolamide on AHI and nocturnal oxygenation were 13.18 (95% CI 9.25–17.1) with low heterogeneity ( p = 0.33, I2 = 0%) and 1.85% (95% CI 1.08–2.62%) with low heterogeneity ( P = 0.56, I2 = 0%). Conclusions: Acetazolamide improves sleep apnea at high altitude by decreasing AHI and percentage of periodic breathing time and increasing nocturnal oxygenation. Acetazolamide is more beneficial in healthy participants than in OSA patients, and a 250 mg daily dose may be as effective as higher daily doses for healthy trekkers.

Recent advances in understanding and managing psoriatic arthritis
Authors: Gladman Dafna D. 
Published: November 2016

This article reviews recent advances in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) over the past several years with emphasis on early diagnosis, better understanding of pathogenesis, and new therapeutic approaches. Early diagnosis is important, since people who present late do not fare as well. There are a number of clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound features that can help identify patients destined to develop PsA, and several screening tools have been developed. It is recognized that genetic and epigenetic factors, as well as T cells and cytokines, play a role in the pathogenesis of PsA, and several targets have been identified for therapeutic interventions. New therapies have been developed and tested in PsA and have been found to be highly effective for both skin and joint manifestations of the disease. The expectation is that, in the future, PsA patients will be treated early and more aggressively and that there will not be significant progression of joint damage. Moreover, with effective treatment of the skin and joint disease and management of risk factors for the comorbidities, we can expect to reduce their occurrence and further reduce the excess mortality and reduced quality of life and function in these patients.

An elevated serum level of endothelial monocyte activating polypeptide-II in patients with arterial hypertension with and without type 2 diabetes and obesity
Authors: Mogylnytska Liliya , Mankovsky Boris 
Published: November 2016

Objectives: To assess serum levels of endothelial monocyte activating polypeptide-II (EMAP-II) in patients with arterial hypertension with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity.Materials and methods: We examined 41 hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes, 18 obese hypertensive patients without diabetes, 9 non-obese hypertensive patients without diabetes, and 18 healthy control subjects.Results: We found an increased serum level of EMAP-II in hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes compared to controls (4.86±2.3 and 1.08±0.53 ng/ml respectively, р0.01), in hypertensive patients with obesity (2.92±1.42 ng/ml) compared to controls, and in non-obese hypertensive patients (2.02±0.33 ng/ml) compared to controls. Also, the levels of EMAP-II significantly correlated with HbA1c, blood glucose, serum insulin levels, HOMA, lipids, and body mass index (р0.01).Conclusions: The revealed changes could reflect an endothelial dysfunction mostly pronounced in patients with arterial hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. Hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, obesity appear to be significant contributing factors leading to the elevation of EMAP-II.
Adaptation of the humanoid robot to speech disfluency therapy

Published: November 2016

Abstract
The paper describes an application that allows to use a humanoid robot as a stutterer’s assistant and therapist. Auditory and visual feedback has been used in the therapy with a humanoid robot. For this purpose, the common method of “echo” was modified. The modification is that the speaker hears delayed speech sounds uttered by the robot. The sounds of speech coming from an external microphone are captured and delayed by a computer and then, using User Datagram Protocol (UDP), sent to the robot’s system and played in its speakers. This system allows the elimination of negative feedback and external sound field’s noise. The effect of this therapy is enhanced by the fact that, in addition to the effect, relating to the action of the delayed feedback, the speaker has company during the difficult process of speaking. Visual feedback has been realized as changes in the robot’s hand movements according to the shape of the speech signal envelope and possibility of controlling speech with a metronome effect.

Geometry to minimal surfaces
Authors: Leschke K. , Moriya K. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
In this paper we give a survey of methods of Quaternionic Holomorphic Geometry and of applications
of the theory to minimal surfaces. We discuss recent developments in minimal surface theory using
integrable systems. In particular, we give the Lopez–Ros deformation and the simple factor dressing in terms
of the Gauss map and the Hopf differential of the minimal surface. We illustrate the results for well–known
examples of minimal surfaces, namely the Riemann minimal surfaces and the Costa surface.

and the n-dimensional vector space Vn
over the field GF(2) are considered. Nonrefinable sequences of nested orbits for the subgroups of the group Gn
and of the Sylow subgroup Pn
of the symmetric group S

COST-FP1105: Properties of PLA films reinforced with unmodified and acetylated freeze dried nanofibrillated cellulose
Authors: Žepič Vesna , Poljanšek Ida , Oven Primož , Čop Matjaž 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Freeze dried nanofibrils were acetylated in a heterogeneous system with acetic anhydride, pyridine, and dimethylformamide and the obtained acetylated cellulose nanofibrils (CNFac) were combined with poly(lactic acid) (PLA) to a composite. CNFac with its partially hydrophobic surface showed a good compatibility with PLA resulting in composite films with improved properties. Tensile strength (TS), modulus of elasticity (MOE), and elongation at break (EB) of PLA/CNF increased significantly when 2–5% of CNFac was added to the PLA matrix, while the addition of 10% and higher amounts CNFac decreased the EB at a higher TS and MOE. Mechanical parameters did not improve in the case of unmodified CNF addition. The addition of CNFac maintained transparency and had absorbance values between those of pure PLA film and PLA film with 2% CNF, while films formed with the addition of 5 and 10% of CNF were less transparent. The addition of CNF did not essentially affect the thermal properties of nanocomposite films. The addition of 2–10% of CNFac increased the enthalpy and maximal temperature of cold crystallization as opposed to higher loading of CNFac. The results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) coincide with those of the mechanical properties. Tailoring properties of PLA/CNF are only reproducible in case of homogenously distributed CNF within the PLA matrix and by an improved interphase adhesion between PLA and CNFac.

Authors: Siddique Mohsin , Saeed Muhammad , Ilyas Mohammad , Gulab Hussain 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
0.1 % Pd/ZrO2 was synthesized and characterized by various physicochemical techniques and was successfully used as catalyst for solvent free oxidation of toluene in the presence of molecular oxygen using batch reactor. The catalytic performance of Pd/ZrO2 was explored in terms of effect of catalyst loading, reaction time, temperature and partial pressure of oxygen on oxidation of toluene in solvent free conditions. Pd/ZrO2 was found as a stable catalyst under the reaction conditions. Used catalyst exhibited the same catalytic efficiency as fresh catalyst under similar reaction conditions. Reaction was taking place according to Langmuir-Hinshelwood type of mechanism.
A Novel Technique to Detect Code for SAC-OCDMA System
Authors: Bharti Manisha , Kumar Manoj , Sharma Ajay K. 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
The main task of optical code division multiple access (OCDMA) system is the detection of code used by a user in presence of multiple access interference (MAI). In this paper, new method of detection known as XOR subtraction detection for spectral amplitude coding OCDMA (SAC-OCDMA) based on double weight codes has been proposed and presented. As MAI is the main source of performance deterioration in OCDMA system, therefore, SAC technique is used in this paper to eliminate the effect of MAI up to a large extent. A comparative analysis is then made between the proposed scheme and other conventional detection schemes used like complimentary subtraction detection, AND subtraction detection and NAND subtraction detection. The system performance is characterized by Q-factor, BER and received optical power (ROP) with respect to input laser power and fiber length. The theoretical and simulation investigations reveal that the proposed detection technique provides better quality factor, security and received power in comparison to other conventional techniques. The wide opening of eye in case of proposed technique also proves its robustness.

Rubber Coring of Injectable Medication Vial Stoppers: An Evaluation of Causal Factors
Authors: Chennell Philip , Bourdeaux Daniel , Citerne Quentin , Arnaud Catherine , Cosserant Sylvie , Boiko-Alaux Véra , Sautou Valerie 
Published: November 2016

AbstractPurpose:Coring of a medication vial’s rubber stopper has been reported as a major cause of visible particle presence in injectable preparations. In this study, we investigated and quantified visible particle formation caused by coring associated with four potential causal factors.Methods:The factors studied were: nature of the rubber stopper; rubber stopper thickness, type of metal needle bevel used to pierce the stopper, and puncture technique. For each one of 16 different situations, 40 medication vial rubber stoppers were punctured, and the contents filtered. The filters were then examined under optical microscopy and particles present counted and measured.Results:The incidence of particle formation ranged from 0 % to 75 %, depending on the situation. Particle length was on average of 0.98±0.39 mm. The situation that gave the most particles (75 %; 30/40) was obtained when using a short bevelled needle, a 4 mm thick chlorobutyl vial stopper and with a puncture angle of 90°. Whilst a puncture technique reduced particle formation by more than 50 % for the most at risk situation, but without eliminating particle formation (residual formation of 22.5 %; 11/40), the use of a blunt bevelled needle totally eliminated the incidence of visible particle creation. The thickness of the rubber and the nature of the elastomer seemed to be linked to coring incidence, but in lesser proportions.Conclusion:Puncturing the stoppers using a technique with a 45° puncture angle reduced particle formation, but only the use of a blunt metal needle totally eliminated it.

Abstract
The variability of daily site coordinates at permanent GNSS station is a sum of many disturbing factors influencing the actual satellite observations, data processing, and bias modelling. In the paper are analysed possibilities of monitoring the instability of GNSS antenna pillar monument by the independent observations using the precise inclination sensor. Long-term series from three different types of pillars show specific features in amplitude and temporal evolution of monument bending. Correlations with daily temperature and/or solar radiation changes were proved.
Theoretical and Applied Research in the Field of Higher Geodesy Conducted in Rzeszow
Authors: Kadaj Roman , Świętoń Tomasz 
Published: November 2016

Abstract
Important qualitative changes were taking place in polish geodesy in last few years. It was related to application of new techniques and technologies and to introduction of European reference frames in Poland. New reference stations network ASG-EUPOS, together with Internet services which helps in precise positioning was created. It allows to fast setting up precise hybrid networks. New, accurate satellite networks became the basis of new definitions in the field of reference systems. Simultaneously arise the need of new software, which enables to execute the geodetic works in new technical conditions. Authors had an opportunity to participate in mentioned undertakings, also under the aegis of GUGiK, by creation of methods, algorithms and necessary software tools. In this way the automatic postprocessing module (APPS) in POZGEO service, a part of ASG-EUPOS system came into being. It is an entirely polish product which works in Trimble environment. Universal software for transformation between PLETRF89, PL-ETRF2000, PULKOWO’42 reference systems as well as defined coordinate systems was created (TRANSPOL v. 2.06) and published as open product. An essential functional element of the program is the quasi-geoid model PL-geoid-2011, which has been elaborated by adjustment (calibration) of the global quasi-geoid model EGM2008 to 570 geodetic points (satellite-leveling points). Those and other studies are briefly described in this paper.
