title: Fitossociologia dos componentes lenhoso e herbáceo em uma área de caatinga no Cariri Paraibano, PB, Brasil - Suplemento digital

description: Esses são os arquivos suplementares contendo os dados brutos do levantamento fitossociológico do componente lenhoso e herbáceo-subarbustivo da caatinga na RPPN Fazenda Almas, no Cariri Paraibano, publicado na revista Hoehnea:<br><b>Lima, J.R., Silva, R.G., Tomé, M.P., Sousa Neto, Queiroz, R.T., Branco, M.S.D. & Moro, M.F. 2019. Fitossociologia dos componentes lenhoso e herbáceo em uma área de caatinga no Cariri Paraibano, PB, Brasil. Hoehnea 46: e792018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/2236-8906-79/2018 .</b><br><br> O estudo amostrou plantas lenhosas em 1 ha de caatinga usando como critério de inclusão para árvores e arbustos o perímetro ao nível do solo de 9 cm (quando a árvore se ramificava logo ao sair do solo, os vários perímetros dos caules múltiplos foram registrados separados por uma barra - eg. 9/12/10). Para o componente herbáceo foram amostradas 35 parcelas de 1 m<sup>2</sup> durante a estação seca e 35 parcelas de 1 m<sup>2 </sup>durante a estação chuvosa. Nas parcelas para plantas herbáceas, foram contados o número de indivíduos herbáceos-subarbustivos e a porcentagem de cobertura de cada espécie dentro de cada parcela. Ao final, calculamos a porcentagem de cobertura de solo de cada espécie presente nas parcelas. Durante a época chuvosa, a soma de todas as porcentagens de cobertura supera 100% porque muitas plantas crescem umas sobre as outras. Além do levantamento fitossociológico do componente lenhoso e do componente herbáceo nas estações seca e chuvosa, o artigo também reporta espécies registradas apenas no levantamento florístico e coletadas férteis na área de pesquisa.

title: Attitudes toward climate change mitigation policies: a review of measures and a construct of policy attitudes

description: Research on policy support or public acceptability of climate change policies is proliferating. There is, however, a great diversity in how these evaluative responses have been defined, operationalized, and measured across studies. In order to shed some light on this subject, we reviewed 118 studies published over the last 15 years aiming at measurement of policy <i>acceptability</i>, <i>acceptance, support</i>, and other responses to climate change mitigation policies. We found that conceptual vagueness and weak theoretical embedding are pervasive in the field, which leads to uncertainty over what is being measured, ambiguity of policy recommendations, and difficulties in comparing empirical results. In response, we propose a construct of policy attitudes as an overarching concept comprising the diversity of measures and constructs already in use. The purpose of the construct is to serve as a common basis for operationalization and survey design. In order to inform policy makers, researchers should be clear in how they formulate surveys with a focus on questions of importance to research and policy-making. <b>Key policy insights</b><i>Acceptability</i>, <i>acceptance</i>, and <i>support</i> are defined as distinct and possibly empirically distinguishable classes of responses evaluating a policy proposal. These responses are expressions of underlying <i>policy attitudes</i>.People may respond to policies in other ways as well, including lack of interest.There is no popularity threshold for a policy to be safe to implement, but instead it is a matter of identifying the conditions of policy support or other responses.Results obtained using different measures of mitigation policy attitudes vary widely with respect to the characteristics of the policy in question and the measured response. Thus, great care must be taken when designing surveys and interpreting their results. <i>Acceptability</i>, <i>acceptance</i>, and <i>support</i> are defined as distinct and possibly empirically distinguishable classes of responses evaluating a policy proposal.

title: Non-interventional observational study broadens positive benefit-risk assessment of an immunomodulating herbal remedy in the common cold

description: <b>Background:</b> The unique extract of a mixture of <i>Baptisiae tinctoriae</i> radix, <i>Echinaceae pallidae/purpureae</i> radix and <i>Thujae occidentalis</i> herba alleviates the typical symptoms of the common cold and shortens the duration of the disease. <b>Purpose:</b> The risk-benefit ratio of a concentrated formulation of this herbal extract was investigated under everyday conditions. <b>Study design:</b> Pharmacy-based, non-interventional, multicenter, open, uncontrolled study registered at DRKS00011068. <b>Methods:</b> For 10 days, patients completed a diary questionnaire rating the severity of each common cold symptom on a 10-point scale. For evaluation, symptoms were combined into the scores “overall severity”, “rhinitis”, “bronchitis” and “general symptoms”. Cox models were used to evaluate the influence of covariates on the time of stable improvement. <b>Results:</b> In total 955 patients (12 to 90 years) were analyzed; 85% assessed the efficacy as good or very good. Response (improvement of the overall severity by at least 50%) was reached at median day 5 (95% CI<sub>median</sub> 5-5). General symptoms abated faster than the other complaints. The percentage of predominantly moderate or severe symptoms to predominantly mild or absent symptoms reversed on day 3.9 (interpolation). Results of adolescents and adults did not differ (<i>p =</i> .6013; HR = 0.918). Concomitant medication did not boost the effect of the herbal remedy. Early start of treatment of the cold accelerated the recovery (<i>p =</i> .0486; HR = 0.814). Thirty-four cases of adverse events were self-recorded in the diaries; none of them were serious. The tolerability was assessed as “good or very good” by 98% of the patients. <b>Conclusion:</b> The benefit–risk assessment of this herbal extract clearly remains positive. This non-interventional study accords with and shows transferability of the results of previous placebo-controlled studies with this extract in a real-life setting.

title: Impact of hepatitis C sustained viral response on cardiovascular diseases: a meta-analysis

description: <b>Background</b>: Hepatitis C virus-infected patients are found to have increased risks of cardiovascular disease (CVD)-related morbidity and mortality. However, the effect of treatment on cardiovascular risk remains unknown. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the effect of Sustained Virologic Response (SVR) on cardiovascular outcome in chronic HCV-infected patients. <b>Methods</b>: A systematic review was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane databases from inception through November 2018 to identify studies that assessed the effect of SVR on CVDs. Effect estimates from the individual study were extracted and combined using random-effect, generic inverse variance method of DerSimonian and Laird. <b>Results</b>: Seven cohort studies with a total of 53,841 HCV-infected patients with average follow-up time of 5 years were enrolled. When compared with HCV-infected patients who do not achieve SVR, patients with SVR have a reduced risk of overall CVDs with the pooled hazard ratio of 0.76 (95% confidence interval 0.61–0.94). Egger’s regression asymmetry test was performed and showed no publication bias. <b>Conclusions</b>: Our study demonstrates a significant association between SVR after HCV treatment and reduced risk of overall CVDs.

title: Scoring Depression on a Common Metric: A Comparison of EAP Estimation, Plausible Value Imputation, and Full Bayesian IRT Modeling

description: There are a growing number of item response theory (IRT) studies that calibrate different patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures, such as anxiety, depression, physical function, and pain, on common, instrument-independent metrics. In the case of depression, it has been reported that there are considerable mean score differences when scoring on a common metric from different, previously linked instruments. Ideally, those estimates should be the same. We investigated to what extent those differences are influenced by different scoring methods that take into account several levels of uncertainty, such as measurement error (through plausible value imputation) and item parameter uncertainty (through full Bayesian IRT modeling). Depression estimates from different instruments were more similar, and their corresponding confidence/credible intervals were larger when plausible value imputation or Bayesian modeling was used, compared to the direct use of expected a posteriori (EAP) estimates. Furthermore, we explored the use of Bayesian IRT models to update item parameters based on newly collected data.
