Corsuno’s treatise on the astrolabe (Barcelona, 1378) is extant in only one Hebrew manuscript preserved at the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich. This text, which is a set of instructions for constructing an astrolabe, is, according to Corsuno’s words, a translation of the Arabic treatise that he devoted to the same topic in Seville in 1376, which is not extant. The text presents original traits in relation to contemporary astrolabe sources and certainly in relation to...

Supplemental material, Figures_(supplement) for A mixed treatment comparison on efficacy and safety of treatments for spasticity caused by multiple sclerosis: a systematic review and network meta-analysis by Xiying Fu, Yanqiao Wang, Can Wang, Huijie Wu, Jinyao Li, Ming Li, Qianqian Ma and Wei Yang in Clinical Rehabilitation

Background. Existing methods to link preference-based and profile-based health-related quality of life (HRQoL) questionnaires have their limitations. Hence, we developed a new mapping method (the mean rank method, MRM) and applied it to map the World Health Organization Quality of Life Questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF) to the EuroQoL 5 Dimensions 5 Levels (EQ-5D-5L). We then compared the new MRM with current methods; i.e., regression-mapped (OLS method) and equipercentile method (EPM). Methods. Singapore residents, aged ≥21 y, were...

People make trait inferences based on facial appearance, and these inferences guide social approach and avoidance. Here, we investigate the effects of textural features on trait impressions from faces. In contrast to previous work, which exclusively manipulated skin smoothness, we manipulated smoothness and the presence of skin blemishes independently (Study 1) and orthogonally (Study 2). We hypothesized that people are particularly sensitive to skin blemishes because blemishes potentially indicate poor health and the presence of...

The sharing of travel experiences has become ubiquitous in today’s era. This study focuses on a pervasive trend among Millennial consumers: the experience of benign envy toward others’ positive travel experience sharing on social networking sites. Drawing on social comparison theory, the current study reveals why and under what conditions others’ positive experience sharing may trigger Millennial consumers’ destination visit intention. Using a mixed experimental design, this study finds that, among consumers with low trait...

Supplemental material, McCabeOpenPracticesDisclosure for Improving Present Practices in the Visual Display of Interactions by Connor J. McCabe, Dale S. Kim and Kevin M. King in Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science

Interaction plots are used frequently in psychology research to make inferences about moderation hypotheses. A common method of analyzing and displaying interactions is to create simple-slopes or marginal-effects plots using standard software programs. However, these plots omit features that are essential to both graphic integrity and statistical inference. For example, they often do not display all quantities of interest, omit information about uncertainty, or do not show the observed data underlying an interaction, and failure...

This article presents the first systematic analysis of how location of drone strikes and the identification of civilian or terrorist casualties in newspaper reporting affect media assessments of operational outcomes and elite responsibility. Conducting a content analysis of several hundred newspaper articles, we evaluate the likelihood of these newspapers identifying the civilian casualties, the role those casualties play in media assessments of operational outcomes, and who they blame for failure. We found that there were...

Supplemental material, Supplemental_Material for An Examination of the Application of the Kidney Donor Risk Index in British Columbia by Caren Rose, Yvonne Sun, Ed Ferre, John Gill, David Landsberg, and Jagbir Gill in Canadian Journal of Kidney Health and Disease

Background:The Kidney Donor Risk Index (KDRI) is a continuous measure of deceased donor kidney transplant failure risk that was derived in US patients based on 10 donor characteristics. In the United States, the KDRI is utilized to guide organ allocation and to inform clinical decisions regarding organ acceptance.Objective:To examine the application of the US-derived KDRI in a large Canadian province.Patients:All deceased donor kidney-only transplant recipients in British Columbia (BC) between 2005 and 2014.Methods:We examined the...

Supplemental material, Supplementary_content for Role of high-risk human papillomavirus in the etiology of oral and oropharyngeal cancers in Thailand: A case–control study by Adit Chotipanich, Surattaya Siriarechakul and On-ong Mungkung in SAGE Open Medicine

Background:Among developing countries, Thailand shows no increase in the incidence of human papillomavirus–driven oropharyngeal cancer. The causal role of human papillomavirus infection in this pathology has not been researched thoroughly.Methods:A hospital-based, case–control study was performed which included 104 patients with newly diagnosed oral and oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinomas and 104 individuals without cancer. The Cervista high-risk human papillomavirus and 16/18 assays were used to detect human papillomavirus. Odds ratios were used to assess the association...

Supplemental material, Supplemental_Material for “The sound of affect”: Age differences in perceiving valence and arousal in music and their relation to music characteristics and momentary mood by Caroline Cohrdes, Cornelia Wrzus, Melanie Wald-Fuhrmann and Michaela Riediger in Musicae Scientiae

Throughout life, music plays an important role in individuals’ everyday affective experiences. Previous findings suggest that preferences for, and perceptions of, music with distinct affective qualities might differ for individuals from different age groups. To date, however, evidence from age-comparative studies across adulthood is rare and little is known about the mechanisms that contribute to age differences in music perception. In an age-heterogeneous sample ranging from adolescence to old adulthood (n = 50; 12–75 years),...

Supplemental material, 760300_supp_mat for Beyond total treatment effects in randomised controlled trials: Baseline measurement of intermediate outcomes needed to reduce confounding in mediation investigations by Sabine Landau, Richard Emsley and Graham Dunn in Clinical Trials

Purpose:To demonstrate the efficacy and initial results of single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty in cases of Urrets-Zavalia syndrome.Methods:In this prospective interventional study, single-pass four-throw was performed to reconstruct the pupil in all symptomatic cases with Urrets-Zavalia syndrome. Applanation tonometry, indentation gonioscopy, and anterior segment optical coherence tomography for anterior chamber angle assessment were performed in all the cases.Results:Out of 10 cases that were identified with Urrets-Zavalia syndrome, the procedure was performed in 7 cases, whereas 3 cases...

We point to a popular yet underresearched platform of political information, the online encyclopedia Wikipedia. Considering the supply side of the marketplace, we argue that personal biographies on the platform are an attractive medium for politicians to enhance their appearance. We trace changes to biographies coming from the parliament using data that cover the entire edit histories for biographies on all German members of parliament for the three last legislative periods. Our findings show editing...

Supplemental material, PSX764177_Supplementary_material for Trust and Citizens’ Evaluations of Promise Keeping by Governing Parties by Robert Thomson and Heinz Brandenburg in Political Studies

The way we respond to life’s daily stressors has strong implications for our physical health. Researchers have documented the detrimental effects of initial emotional reactivity to daily stressors on future physical health outcomes but have yet to examine the effects of emotions that linger after a stressor occurs. The current study investigated how negative affect that lingers the day after a minor stressor occurs is associated with health-related outcomes. Participants (N = 1,155) in a...

Amplification of fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) has been reported in many squamous cell carcinomas, and human papillomavirus (HPV)–related oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma has been characterized as a distinct subset with favorable prognosis. Here, we investigated the FGFR1 amplification and HPV status in tonsillar squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC) and analyzed the clinical characteristics. HPV in situ hybridization (HPV ISH) and FGFR1 fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) were performed using tissue microarray from 89 cases...
