title: Supplementary Material for: Socially assistive robots for people living with dementia in long-term facilities: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

description: Background and Objective: The purpose of our study was to explore the immediate and long-term effects of socially assistive robots (SARs) on neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS), behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD), positive emotional experiences, and social interaction in older people living with dementia. Methods: We set keywords and used Boolean operators to search the CINAHL, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, IEEE Digital Library, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Chinese Electronic Periodical Service from inception to February 2022 for randomized controlled trials. The Cochrane Collaboration bias assessment tool was used to assess article quality, and RevMan 5.4.1 software was used to conduct the meta-analysis. Results: A total of 14 studies were included in the meta-analysis. SARs can help people living with dementia reduce their NPS of depression and anxiety, provide happiness from positive emotional experiences, and improve their social interaction through conversation. However, there was no significant improvement in agitation behavior, overall BPSD, or quality of life in people living with dementia. In follow-up, it was found that the effect of SRT was limited. Conclusion: Socially assistive robots can reduce depression and increase positive emotions in people living with dementia. They may also reduce the burden on healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Registration number: PROSPERO CRD42020169340.

title: Layered Learning: Teaching CI/CD and Software Testing through Storytelling

description: Testing is an essential part of the development process, and the importance of educating on software testing concepts is recognized more than ever. This paper explores storytelling and layered abstraction as a pedagogical tool to teach complex software engineering (software testing) concepts, specifically Continuous Integration (CI), Continuous Delivery (CD), and testing cycles. By employing the prototype of a custom-made educational framework based on storytelling, students map abstract technical processes onto familiar real-life scenarios, making the subject matter more tangible and reducing cognitive load. The study involved administering questionnaires before, during, and after the storytelling-based lecture to evaluate students' understanding and engagement. The results showed that the narration significantly improved comprehension, with 84\% of students indicating that the narrative made the content more relatable and understandable. Statistical analysis confirmed a positive impact on learning outcomes. The findings suggest that this method can be highly effective in technical education, offering an innovative way to teach abstract concepts in software engineering.

title: Modeling geosmin removal in a full-scale filter

description: Abstract Taste and odor compounds affect drinking water safety perception and may drive consumers to less secure water sources. Adsorption, using powered activated carbon, is the most common method to remove these compounds but greatly increases the amount of sludge generated. Another way of removing taste and odor compounds is to use filters with granular activated carbon (GAC) but little is still known on how to design them. In this work, the homogeneous surface diffusion model (HSDM) was used to model bench-scale kinetic and isotherm experiments and to simulate the removal of geosmin in a full-scale GAC filter. Geosmin adsorption isotherm was best described by the Freundlich model in all used carbons and film resistance (Kf) was more relevant to adsorption kinetics than pore diffusion (Ds). The simulation showed that in a filter with an empty bed contact time of 5 minutes and raw water with geosmin concentrations of 50, 75, and 100 ng.L-1, the effluent would exceed the trash-hold concentration (10 ng.L-1) in 98, 77, and 66 days, respectively, without considering biological removal.

title: Influence of exercise testing in gastroesophageal reflux in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease

description: Background : Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a worldwide prevalent condition that exhibits a large variety of signs and symptoms of esophageal or extra-esophageal nature and can be related to the esophagic adenocarcinoma. In the last few years, greater importance has been given to the influence of physical exercises on it. Some recent investigations, though showing conflicting results, point to an exacerbation of gastroesophageal reflux during physical exercises. Aim : To evaluate the influence of physical activities in patients presenting with erosive and non erosive disease by ergometric stress testing and influence of the lower esophageal sphincter tonus and body mass index during this situation. Methods : Twenty-nine patients with erosive disease (group I) and 10 patients with non-erosive disease (group II) were prospectively evaluated. All the patients were submitted to clinical evaluation, followed by upper digestive endoscopy, manometry and 24 h esophageal pH monitoring. An ergometric testing was performed 1 h before removing the esophageal pH probe. During the ergometric stress testing, the following variables were analyzed: test efficacy, maximum oxygen uptake, acid reflux duration, gastroesophageal reflux symptoms, influence of the lower esophageal sphincter tonus and influence of body mass index in the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux during these physical stress. Results : Maximum oxigen consumption or VO 2 max, showed significant correlation when it was 70% or higher only in the erosive disease group, evaluating the patients with or without acid reflux during the ergometric testing (p=0,032). The other considered variables didn't show significant correlations between gastroesophageal reflux and physical activity (p&gt;0,05). Conclusions : 1) Highly intensive physical activity can predispose the occurrence of gastroesophageal reflux episodes in gastroesophageal reflux disease patients with erosive disease; 2) light or short sessions of physical activity have no influence on reflux, regardless of body mass index; 3) the lower esophageal sphincter tonus does not influence the occurrence of reflux disease episodes during exercise testing.

title: Supplementary Material for: Involvement of the Orexin System in Adrenal Sympathetic Regulation

description: Orexin (hypocretin) is a neuropeptide secreted from hypothalamic neurons that is known to be activated during motivated behaviors and active waking. Presently, our knowledge of orexin is mainly limited to the central nervous system, and the involvement of the orexin system in peripheral tissues has received little attention. In the present study, we analyzed the existence of the orexin system in the adrenal medulla, which is part of the sympathetic nervous system. Orexin and its receptors are expressed in the bovine adrenal medulla. Orexins stimulated intracellular calcium changes and epinephrine release from cultured bovine adrenal medullary cells. Applied orexin decreased expression of prepro-orexin, orexin receptor-1 and orexin receptor-2, suggesting negative feedback regulation in the adrenal gland. Our results indicate involvement of the orexin system in the sympathetic regulation of the adrenal medulla.

title: Supplementary Material for: Metaanalysen als Königsweg für die Formulierung von Therapieleitlinien?

description: Effects of Distraction and Relaxation Training in Chronic Tinnitus and Impact of Individual Case Complexity. <i>Background</i>: In the case of complex chronic tinnitus many experts recommend inpatient rather than outpatient psychological treatment. Severe tinnitus-related distress and psychopathology are supposed to make treatment success difficult and are to be compensated by increased treatment efforts. Yet, evidence for the impact of case complexity on treatment effects is weak or equivocal. <i>Patients and Methods</i>: In a prospective randomized controlled trial with 139 tinnitus patients we investigated if previous findings on the effectiveness of an outpatient computer-aided and machine-assisted distraction and relaxation training (DRT) can be corroborated and to what extent case complexity is relevant for the short- to long-term success of the training. Treatment success was assessed by use of reliable and valid instruments for tinnitus-related distress, tinnitus coping and emotional distress not related to tinnitus. Furthermore, we analyzed whether outpatient DRT is also effective in patients with similarly complex tinnitus as in most of the inpatient population. The effect of DRT in these outpatients was contrasted with that of inpatient treatment. <i>Results</i>: DRT yielded a longlasting reduction of tinnitus-related distress and increased utilization of self-encouragement, relaxation, and attention diversion to cope with tinnitus. Intervention-specific changes in emotional distress not related to tinnitus were non-certifiable. There was no evidence that increased case complexity curtailed treatment success. The contrast of the effects of inpatient treatment and DRT indicated no advantage of the former. <i>Conclusions</i>: Recommending different therapeutic approaches according to tinnitus complexity seems rather eminence- than evidence-based. Further research on differential treatment indication and on dose-response relationship is required.

title: Supplementary Material for: Efficacy and incidence of treatment related adverse events of thrombopoietin receptor agonists in adults with immune thrombocytopenia: a systematic review and network meta-analysis of randomized controlled study

description: Introduction: To conduct a network meta-analysis to assess the efficacy and incidence of treatment related adverse events (TRAEs) of eltrombopag, romiplostim, avatrombopag, recombinant human thrombopoietin (rhTPO) and hetrombopag for adult immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). Methods: Randomized controlled trails (RCTs) of the five therapies from inception to June 1, 2022 were included. The efficacy outcome was the rate of platelet response, defined as the achievement of platelet counts above 50 x 109/L. Pairwise odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were caculated. The surface under the cumulative ranking (SUCRA) was used to rank the included therapies for each outcome. Results: In total, 1,360 participants were analyzed in 14 eligible RCTs. All of the therapies showed a significantly better platelet response than the placebo, and avatrombopag (OR, 7.42; 95% CI, 1.74–31.69) and rhTPO (OR, 3.86; 95%CI, 1.62–9.18) were better than eltrombopag. Regarding TRAEs, no significant differences were found between patients receiving eltrombopag, romiplostim, and avatrombopag. Avatrombopag carried the highest platelet response rate with SUCRA value of 87.5, and carried the least TRAEs risk with SUCRA value of 37.0. Conclusions: These findings indicated that avatrombopag appeared to be the optimal choice as the second-line therapy of adult ITP.

title: Multi-year mole fraction and isotopic records for 5 UK sites

description: CH4 mole fraction and δ13C data that have been measured by Royal Holloway, University of London (RHUL) from five locations around the UK. The samples were collected at Barra/Vatersay (BAR) in the Outer Hebrides, RHUL in Egham (EGH), Weybourne Atmospheric Observatory (WAO) - University of East Anglia, and the Western Channel Observatory (WCO) at two locations (E1 and L4) in the English Channel - Plymouth Marine Lab (PML). 

The Met Office's Numerical Atmospheric-dispersion Modelling Environment (NAME) was used to calculate the sensitivity of measurements, taken at EGH and WAO, to the surrounding emissions field. The raw NAME output files contain information about the locations of the modelled air particles at each time step. This information is processed to create hourly footprints in units of (mol/mol)(mol/m$^2$/s) for each latitude/longitude grid cell.

title: Supplementary Material for: Comparing the Effects of Two Perturbation-based Balance Training Paradigms in Fall-prone Older Adults: A Randomized Controlled Trial

description: Introduction There is increasing evidence that perturbation-based balance training (PBT) is highly effective in preventing falls at older age. Different PBT paradigms have been presented so far, yet a systematic comparison of PBT approaches with respect to feasibility and effectiveness is missing. Two different paradigms of PBT seem to be promising for clinical implementation: 1. Technology-supported training on a perturbation treadmill (PBTtreadmill); 2. Training of dynamic stability mechanisms in the presence of perturbations induced by unstable surfaces (PBTstability). This study aimed to compare both program's feasibility and effectiveness in fall-prone older adults. Methods In this three-armed randomized controlled trial, seventy-one older adults (74.9 ± 6.0 years) with a verified fall risk were randomly assigned into three groups: PBTtreadmill on a motorized treadmill, PBTstability using unstable conditions such as balance pads and a passive control group (CG). In both intervention groups, participants conducted a 6-weeks intervention with 3 sessions per week. Effects were assessed in fall risk (Brief-BEST), balance ability (Stepping Threshold Test, Center of Pressure, Limits of Stability), leg strength capacity, functional performance (Timed Up and Go Test, Chair-Stand), gait (preferred walking speed) and fear of falling (Short-FES-I). Results Fifty-one participants completed the study. Training adherence was 91% for PBTtreadmill and 87% for PBTstability, while no severe adverse events occurred. An ANCOVA with an intention-to-treat approach revealed statistically significant group effects in favor of PBTstability in the Brief-BEST (p=.009, η²=.131) and the Limits of Stability (p=.020, η²=.110), and in favor of PBTtreadmill in the Stepping Threshold Test (p&lt;.001, η²=.395). The other outcomes demonstrated no significant group effects. Discussion/Conclusion Both training paradigms demonstrated high feasibility and were effective in improving specific motor performances in the fall-prone population and these effects were task-specific. PBTtreadmill showed higher improvements in reactive balance, which might have been promoted by the unpredictable nature of the included perturbations and the similarity to the tested surface perturbation paradigm. PBTstability showed more wide-ranging effects on balance ability. Consequently, both paradigms improved fall-risk-associated measures. The advantages of both formats should be evaluated in the light of individual needs and preferences. Larger studies are needed to investigate the effects of these paradigms on real-life fall rates.

title: Supplementary Material for: Cognitive Activities, Lifestyle Factors and Risk of Cognitive Impairment, With an Analysis of the Apolipoprotein Epsilon 4 Genotype

description: Introduction: Cognitive stimulating activities and a healthy lifestyle are associated with less cognitive impairment. However, whether the association is varied by Apolipoprotein epsilon 4 (APOE ε4) allele carrier status remains inconclusive. We aimed to investigate whether the association of cognitively stimulating activities and a healthy lifestyle with the risk of cognitive impairment varied by APOE ε4 allele carrier status. Methods: A case-control study was conducted for adults aged 60 years and above. Six province administrative units (Beijing, Shanghai, Hubei, Sichuan, Guangxi, and Yunnan) were included using stratified multi-stage cluster sampling. A total of 1300 individuals were identified with cognitive impairment (cases) at enrollment and were matched 1:2 on sex, age (±2 years), and residential district with controls who were cognitively normal at the time of the evaluation. We used a standardized questionnaire to collect information on cognitive stimulating activities, lifestyle factors, demographics, and comorbidity. Cognitive stimulating activities included reading books or newspapers, playing cards or mahjong, using the Internet, socializing with neighbors, and community activities. Lifestyle factors included smoking, alcohol drinking, daily tea drinking, and regular exercise. We used logistic regression to assess the interaction between cognitive stimulating activities, lifestyle factors, and APOE ε4 allele carrier status (yes/no) on the risk of cognitive impairment. We tested for additive interaction by estimating relative excess risk (RERI) due to interaction and multiplicative interaction employing the P value of the interaction term of each lifestyle factor and APOE ε4 into the model. Results: Four cognitive stimulating activities were associated with less cognitive impairment regardless of APOE ε4 status. Using the Internet (odds ratio [OR] 0.53, 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.30-0.95), daily tea drinking (OR 0.79; 95% CI, 0.63-0.98), and regular exercise (OR 0.78; 95% CI, 0.65-0.94) were associated with less cognitive impairment only in non-carriers. Multiplicative and additive interactions were found between community activities and APOE ε4 carrier status (Multiplicative P value=.03; RERI 0.738, 95% CI, 0.201-1.275). Conclusion: The associations between cognitive activities and cognitive impairment were robust regardless of the APOE ε4 carrier status, while the associations between lifestyle factors and cognitive impairment varied by APOE ε4 carrier status.
