    Abstract For years, the elephant trunk (ET) technique has been applied to extended aortic arch pathology facilitating staged downstream open- or endovascular completion. The recent use of a stentgraft as so-called frozen ET enables even single-stage repair, or its use as a scaffold in an acutely or chronically dissected aorta. Hybrid prosthesis have since been introduced, available as either a 4-branch graft or a straight graft for reimplantation of the arch vessels using the classic island technique. Both techniques are known to have technical advantages and disadvantages in specific surgical scenarios. In this paper we will discuss whether a 4-branch graft hybrid prosthesis is advantageous over a straight hybrid prosthesis. Our considerations in terms of mortality, cerebral embolic risk, myocardial ischemia time, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, hemostasis and exclusion of supra-aortic entries in the case of acute dissection will be shared. The 4-branch graft hybrid prosthesis conceptually facilitates reduced systemic-, cerebral-, and cardiac arrest time. Additionally, atherosclerotic ostial debris, intimal re-entries, and fragile aortic tissue in genetic disease can be excluded by using a branched graft instead of the island technique for reimplantation of the arch vessels. Despite many conceptual technical advantages of the 4-branch graft hybrid prosthesis, literature data do not show significantly better outcomes when compared to the straight graft, to support its routine use in all cases.

    Abstract An Otago Storeman in Solomon Islands reaches from inland South Island of New Zealand across to the Solomon Islands during the 1880s. William Crossan's Otago experience as a versatile storeman with a solid work ethic helped him survive on the Melanesian frontier where he encountered conflicting clans, cannibalism, cheating traders, and co-operative entrepreneurial big men. His diary provides many glimpses into Makiran society as it encountered new ideas, new employment, and western technology. It is a welcome addition to the sparse record of these cryptic copra traders seeking fortunes on the cusp of indigenous tradition and incoming colonialism

    Abstract A morphic word is obtained by iterating a morphism to generate an infinite word, and then applying a coding. We characterize morphic words with polynomial growth in terms of a new type of infinite word called a $\textit{zigzag word}$. A zigzag word is represented by an initial string, followed by a finite list of terms, each of which repeats for each $n \geq 1$ in one of three ways: it grows forward [$t(1)\ t(2)\ \dotsm\ t(n)]$, backward [$t(n)\ \dotsm\ t(2)\ t(1)$], or just occurs once [$t$]. Each term can recursively contain subterms with their own forward and backward repetitions. We show that an infinite word is morphic with growth $\Theta(n^k)$ iff it is a zigzag word of depth $k$. As corollaries, we obtain that the morphic words with growth $O(n)$ are exactly the ultimately periodic words, and the morphic words with growth $O(n^2)$ are exactly the multilinear words.

    Abstract The recent increase in children's use of digital media, both TV and touchscreen devices (e.g., tablets and smartphones), has been associated with developmental differences in Executive Functions (EF). It has been hypothesised that early exposure to attention-commanding and contingent stimulation provided by touchscreens may increase reliance on bottom-up perceptual processes and limit the opportunity for practice of voluntary (i.e., top-down) attention leading to differences in EF. This study tests the concurrent and longitudinal associations between touchscreen use (high use, HU ≥ 15 min/day; low use, LU < 15 min/day), and two components of EF (working-memory/cognitive-flexibility, and impulse/self-control), building explicitly on recent developmental models that point to a bidimensional structure of EF during toddlerhood and pre-school years. A longitudinal sample of 46 3.5-year-olds (23 girls) was tested on a battery of lab-based measures and matched at 12 months on a range of background variables including temperament. Touchscreen HU showed significantly reduced performance in lab-based Working Memory/Cognitive Flexibility, although this became non-significant when controlling for background TV. Impulse/Self-control was not significantly associated with touchscreen use but was negatively associated with non-child-directed television. Our results provide partial support for the hypothesis that using touchscreen devices might reduce capacity for top-down behaviour control, and indicate that broader media environment may be implicated in early executive function development. However, it may also be the case that individuals who are predisposed towards exogenous stimulation are more drawn to screen use. Future studies are needed to replicate findings, demonstrate causality, and investigate bidirectionality.
