title: Supplementary Material for: Does Dietary Intake Impact Omentin Gene Expression and Plasma Concentration? A Systematic Review

description: <b><i>Background:</i></b> Omentin is an adipokine with anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects that can play a protective role against cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The aim was to systematically review and summarize the existing evidence on the association between overall dietary intake and omentin gene expression and circulation. <b><i>Summary:</i></b> A literature search was conducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science up to September 2019. Of the 1,940 retrieved articles, 20 relevant studies were included, 6 of which were observational, 11 were clinical trials in humans, and 3 were animal studies. Four randomized controlled trials (RCTs) had a high risk of bias (RoB), 1 had “some concerns”, and 2 had a low RoB. Among the nonrandomized studies with comparators, 4 had a serious RoB and 2 had a moderate RoB. In the experimental animal studies with a moderate RoB, conflicting results for omentin serum concentration were found for high-fat and low-fat diets. A high-fat diet (HFD) was shown to reduce omentin gene expression in one animal study. In the observational studies, omentin serum concentration was reduced by Ramadan fasting and saturated fatty acid (SFA) intake, and an increase in omentin gene expression was observed with monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) intake. There was no association of dietary inflammatory index (DII), macronutrient intake, or total calorie intake with omentin plasma concentrations. In the human interventional studies, omentin plasma concentration increased with a long-term low-calorie, low-fat diet (LFD), and no change was seen with a HFD or a short-term low-calorie diet (LCD). <b><i>Key Messages:</i></b> It seems that a long-term diet with a lower fat content and a balanced distribution of fatty acids, i.e., a higher MUFA and lower SFA intake, may effectively increase omentin plasma concentration, possibly via improved insulin resistance and reduced inflammation, but more research is needed to confirm or refute this.

title: Supplementary Material for: Physical Activity in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study

description: <b><i>Introduction and Objective:</i></b> Despite the known benefits of physical activity in the management of chronic diseases, the use of exercise as a treatment is relatively underemployed, with many patients reporting their disease to be a barrier. This study aimed to assess physical activity levels, attitudes, and barriers towards exercise in a cohort of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In addition, this study aimed to assess possible relationships between physical well-being, psychological well-being, and sociodemographic factors. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> 306 patients &gt;18 years with diagnosed IBD in Dunedin, New Zealand, were approached to participate in this study. Participants who consented completed questionnaires regarding exercise preferences and attitudes, physical activity levels, and psychological well-being. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Seventy-seven patients participated in the study (77/308 = 25%). Sixty-six percent of participants met physical activity guidelines and the median metabolic equivalent minutes/week of 1,027.5 (505.5–2,339.5). Walking was the most preferred activity (30%) followed by water-based exercise (20%). Two-thirds of participants reported their disease limited the amount of physical activity undertaken. Common barriers to participating in physical activity included fatigue (34%) and abdominal pain (20%). Patients with active disease reported higher levels of barriers than those in remission (80 vs. 54%, <i>p</i> = 0.018). Higher physical activity levels were correlated with lower levels of fatigue (<i>p</i> = 0.022–0.046). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> While patients with IBD in Dunedin, New Zealand, are physically active, reducing real and perceived barriers is crucial to further increase physical activity in patients with IBD who are in remission or with active disease.

title: High-entropy alloys data sets of evidence-based recommender system for combinatorial materials synthesis

description: This publication contains eights high-entropy data sets, which are used to evaluate evidence-based recommender system for high-entropy alloys. The eight data sets consisting of binary, ternary, quaternary, and quinary alloys comprising multiple equiatomically combined elements. The data sets consist of data from experiments and calculations. The alloys contained in the data sets comprise {Fe, Co, Ir, Cu, Ni, Pt, Pd, Rh, Au, Ag, Ru, Os, Si, As, Al, Tc, Re, Mn, Ta, Ti, W, Mo, Cr, V, Hf, Nb, and Zr}. Alloys in this publication are represented using the binary elemental descriptors. Thus, an alloy is described by a 27-dimensional binary vector with elements of one or zero. Label of each alloy in the data sets can be either "High" or "Low", which indicates whether the alloy is an HEA. Any alloy is predicted as an HEA if its order-disorder transition temperature is below its melting temperature. The temperatures are collected from the reseach of Yoav Lederer.

title: Red-optical spectra of three nearby M dwarfs with SALT HRS

description: We conducted observations of three nearby mid-M dwarfs with the High-Resolution Spectrograph (HRS) at the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT, DDT proposal code: 2019-2-DDT-006). We obtained spectra in its red arm over a wavelength range of 5,500-8,900 Angström with a spectral resolution of about 40,000 in medium-resolution mode. The observations were carried out on February 08 and February 09, 2020. The data were reduced with the PEPSI data reduction software (Strassmeier et al. 2018). The reduction followed the standard steps of bias overscan detection and subtraction, scattered light extraction from the inter-order space and subtraction, definition of échelle orders, optimal extraction of spectral orders, wavelength calibration, and a self-consistent continuum fit to the full two-dimensional (2D) image of extracted orders. <strong>Files in this dataset</strong> salt1.txt: TIC 44984200 (2MASS J08380224-5855583)<br> salt2.txt: TIC 277539431 (2MASS J10551532-7356091)<br> salt3.txt: TIC 300741820 (2MASS J07404497-6648318) <strong>Columns in each file from left to right:</strong> 1 Wavelength in Angstrom<br> 2 Normalized flux<br> 3 Uncertainty on normalized flux <strong>Corresponding author</strong> Ekaterina Ilin, eilin@aip.de, Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP)

title: Indigenous and local knowledge in environmental management for human-nature connectedness: a leverage points perspective

description: Indigenous peoples are key actors for environmental management because they hold valuable indigenous and local knowledge (ILK) for the sustainable stewardship of nature. However, the consideration of ILK in environmental management is still limited. We explore how environmental government institutions in Colombia have involved indigenous communities in 2212 environmental management projects between 2004 and 2015. Only 1% of these projects involved indigenous peoples as main actors. We applied the Leverage Points (LP) perspective in a content analysis to identify ‘where’ and ‘how’ these projects promote transformative changes within indigenous territories. Moreover, we investigated the interactions between projects targeting shallow and deep LP using cluster analysis. Our results show that these projects mainly seek to improve the well-being of indigenous peoples and consider ILK in their interventions, which suggests changes in deep LP. Additionally, these projects usually combined interventions targeting both shallow and deep LP while using ILK to improve environmental management practices (e.g., Life Plans) and developing participatory land-use planning in the indigenous territories. We argue that the involvement of ILK in environmental management can lead to stronger human–nature connectedness and thus to more successful conservation policies. However, this involvement is still at an early stage in Colombia.

title: A framework to evaluate land degradation and restoration responses for improved planning and decision-making

description: Avoiding, reducing or reversing land degradation will require increased restoration investments, carefully targeted and implemented to maximize environmental, economic and social benefits. Our objective was to develop a multi-criteria framework to assess effectiveness of land degradation responses for enhanced land use planning and restoration by evaluating both direct biophysical and socio-economic responses and indirect effects of various restoration strategies. The effectiveness of restoration responses is demonstrated for degraded forestland using a comprehensive literature review and case study in Nepal. The results show that most forestland restoration responses have an ecological focus with tree planting being the dominant direct response and economic and financial instruments the indirect responses. The results confirmed that environmental desirability was the dominant factor and economic feasibility was secondary for assessing restoration responses. Cultural acceptability was given the least consideration. Among sub-criteria, improved vegetative structure was the dominant restoration response. This study, originating from the Land Degradation and Restoration Assessment of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services, supports the view that the scientific community and decision-makers must give greater attention to cultural, social, technical, and political dimensions that influence the outcomes of restoration responses to solve the pervasive problem of land degradation.

title: “Face the cow”: reconnecting to nature and increasing capacities for pro-environmental agency

description: Arts-based practices can support sustainability, combined with research that points out needs for intervention. We practiced environmental sensitivity and dialogic art with fifth-grade school pupils as part of an International Socially Engaged Art Symposium (ISEAS2019). Using arts-based action research methodology, our case study focused on the opportunities of arts-based environmental education in advancing the management of meadows and wood-pastures. We explored nature connectedness and pro-environmental mindsets and behaviors among the pupils and artists/researchers. The artistic results encompassed the dialogic interactions of the intervention, exhibited artworks, and audiovisual documentation. Using the leverage points framework, we detected key levers in conservation of meadows and wood-pastures, based on literature and the current study through a content analysis on the collected reflective materials. The participants emphasized engaging with agricultural nature in multiple ways, through doing and feeling. Arts-based practices allowed participants to recognize their corporality and develop an experiental, expressive, and informed connection with nature. Based on discussions on the general ideologies and values underlying the intervention, we conclude that promoting a stewardship philosophy towards agricultural nature would benefit its conservation. Arts-based environmental education has great potential in advancing such transition, if the multidimensionality of the interaction between people and nature is acknowledged.
