Objective Classification of Sea Surface Temperature Evolution diversity of ENSO Cycle by Jiaxi LIU, Zhiwei ZHU, Rui LU, Juan LI

“…El Niño-Southern Oscillation （ENSO） is the most prominent interannual climate mode over the tropical Pacific， which is characterized by a periodic and phase-locked evolution of sea surface temperature anomalies （SSTA）.From the perspective of ENSO cycle， this study objectively classified the SSTA evolution of ENSO from 1961 to 2021 into two results using K-means clustering method （KMA）： 3 or 5 types of ENSO cycle.When it is classified into 3 types， the basic characteristics of ENSO cycle are warm-developing， warm-decaying， and cold-persistence.When it is classified into 5 types， the discrepancies of intensity and zonal distribution of the development and decay processes between super-strong and normal events are highlighted.To further explain these discrepancies， this study employed a KMA considering the Principal Component Analysis （Empirical Orthogonal Function）.Based on the two EOF leading modes which reflects the zonal symmetric and asymmetric development modes， the zonally symmetric and asymmetric development processes of the ENSO cycle are divided.Combined with the KMA clustering analysis， it is further found that zonally asymmetric development mode together with the zonally consistent development mode jointly lead to the zonal asymmetric development speed of ENSO cycle.Reconstruction of the zonally homogeneous and asymmetric evolution modes of ENSO reveals that wind and thermocline thickness anomalies may be key factors controlling the zonal asymmetric evolution of SSTA.This study objectively classified different types of ENSO evolution， providing reference for climate dynamics and impacts of ENSO diversity.…”

The relationship between passive social network site use and sub-threshold depression among college students: a moderated mediation model by Jiangli Jiao, Xiaojuan Dong, Nuziyan Nuermaimaiti, Yi Liu

“…Although prior research has explored the potential relationship between social media use and depressive symptoms, the findings have been inconsistent, and the potential mediating and moderating mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to examine the relationship between passive social network site use and sub-threshold depression in college students from the perspective of the differential susceptibility to media effects model, investigating the mediating role of fear of missing out (FOMO) and the moderating role of coping styles. …”

Dizziness in postural tachycardia syndrome and its link to vestibular migraine by Ruby Sekhon, Nicholas Gall, Carolyn Ainsworth, Louisa Murdin, Louisa Murdin

“…BackgroundPostural tachycardia syndrome (PoTS) is a chronic condition characterized by an increased heart rate upon standing and is recognized to be associated with dizziness and migraines. This study aimed to investigate the multifaceted nature of dizziness in PoTS from a vestibular perspective, including the relationship with vestibular migraine.MethodsA retrospective review of 80 patients with confirmed PoTS, attending a tertiary neuro-otology clinic, was conducted to evaluate standardized detailed assessments {validated symptom questionnaires, history/physical examination, neuro-otological diagnostics [including video head impulse test (VHIT), videonystagmography (VNG), and caloric testing], and management}. …”
