Supplemental Material for The Role of Stigma in Gambling Disorder: A Systematic Review

A word about supplemental materials

The use of supplemental journal article materials is increasing in all disciplines. These materials may be datasets, source code, tables/figures, multimedia, or other materials that previously went unpublished, were attached as appendices, or were included within the body of the work. Current emphasis on critical appraisal and reproducibility demands that researchers have access to the complete life cycle to fully evaluate research. As more libraries become dependent on secondary aggregators and interlibrary loan, we questioned if access to these materials is equitable and sustainable. While NISO RP-15-2013 Recommended Practices for Online Supplemental Journal Article Materials was published in 2013, it is unclear if these recommended practices fully meet the needs of users; if aggregators and publishers are following these standards; and if library processes and procedures are facilitating access to supplemental journal article materials. While studies have surveyed authors, reviewers, and readers, or examined journal supplemental materials practices, no studies have surveyed library staff and librarians about their experience with access to supplemental materials and requesting and receiving supplemental materials through interlibrary loan. This presentation reported on a study surveying library employees from academic, hospital, public and special library settings in the United States about their experiences identifying, finding, and retrieving supplemental journal article materials; and proposes ways that libraries, publishers and aggregators can enable access to the complete published life cycle.

Supplementary cementitious materials are commonly used in portland cement concrete, which have both environmental and technical benefits. Various supplementary materials have been used in alkali-activated cements and can effectively improve some of their properties. This article reviewed the characteristics, classification, and potential actions of these supplementary materials used in alkali-activated slag cements (AASCs). A new approach was proposed to classify the supplementary materials for AASCs into three groups: (1) chemically active, (2) physically active, and (3) physically active and reactive. Chemically active supplementary materials consist of amorphous structures which form hydration products with cementitious properties and modify the composition of the binder gel. Physically active supplementary materials consist of crystalline and (or) chemically inert structures, which do not modify the composition of the binder gel, but affect the physical structure of the mixed binder. Physically active and reactive supplementary materials have both above the properties.

This study aimed to find out the effect of supplementary reading materials to the reading comprehension of Grade 11 GAS students of San Cristobal Integrated High School for the school year 2020-2021. This research used supplementary reading materials to the experimental group in teaching the 21st Century Literature subject to measure their reading comprehension level. The respondents are composed of 60 Grade 11- GAS students where mostly are female and are on the age bracket of 16 to 17. The respondents reading comprehension level was measured using a thirty (30) item researcher-made pretest and posttest as the instruments of this research.The following are significant findings of the study: In terms of the respondents reading level, the experimental group obtained a mean score of 4.00 in their overall reading level. This implies that they are in frustration level before using the supplementary reading materials. Meanwhile, a mean score of 5.54 was obtained by the control group before using the modular instruction which reveals that the overall reading level of the control group is in instructional level. After the implementation of the study, the experimental groups overall reading level turned to instructional level having a mean score of 6.49 the control group, however, remains in instructional level with an overall mean score of 6.40. The results revealed that there is a significant difference between the pretest and post-test scores of the respondents in the experimental group after using the supplementary reading materials. However, a significant difference between the pretest and post-test scores of the respondents in the control group was also observed after using the modular instructions. After comparing the post-test of the experimental and control group, it was found out that there is no significant difference in the reading comprehension of the experimental and control group after using supplementary materials and modular instruction.

The present study was conducted to create and develop supplementary learning materials for Grade 10 learners under the course of Technology and Livelihood Education- Cookery. It involves forty-two student-respondents from Pacita Complex National High School and three validator-respondents from the respective field. It sought answers on the level of acceptability of the components of the created Supplementary Learning Materials (SLMs) with regard to objectives, content, activities, and assessment. The level of acceptability of the characteristics of the created SLMs with regard to relevance, appropriateness, aesthetic value, and adaptability. The level of student performance in the subject of TLE - Cookery by the results of the practical test. The significant effect of components and characteristics of the created SLM on the performance of the students in the subject of TLE ? Cookery. The study used the descriptive correlation method. Questionnaires were the main instrument used in the research to gather data from the respondents. The result for both the components and characteristics of the created Supplementary Learning Materials (SLMs) level of acceptability was Very High. The level of performance of the students was Satisfactory. The SLMs have no significant effect on learners? performance in preparing stocks, and sauces as to the content and assessment of the created Supplementary Material (SLM) for Grade 10 TLE-Cookery. However, there were significant effects on the objectives and activities of the learners? performance in preparing soup under components. There was no significant effect on the learner?s performance in preparing stocks, and sauces to the characteristics of the created Supplementary Material (SLM) for Grade 10 TLE-Cookery. The hypothesis which states that there is no significant effect on the components and characteristics of the created SLM and the performance of students in the subject of TLE ? Cookery is not supported. It is recommended that there should be enhancement of the created Supplementary Material (SLM) in terms of contents indicators by attending seminars on module or learning material construction is highly recommended. It is suggested to develop engaging activities related to the TLE-Cookery course on which students can increase their level of performance very satisfactorily by improving the rubric assessment used in the performance tests. It is suggested for administrators allocate a budget to the development of Supplementary Material (SLM) to maintain quality output and transform students? performance very satisfactorily. Other researchers can use this study to help them further analyze and improve the use of created Supplementary Material (SLM) for Grade 10 TLE-Cookery using different variables and different research designs.

This study sought to assess the predominant learning mode of second-year dental students, investigate the possible relationship between learning mode, age, and gender, and evaluate if there are quantitative and qualitative differences in predoctoral endodontic lab performance/student perception when learning-mode-specific materials are provided. Study participants were 101 dental students from Marquette University. Student learning mode was derived from the Kolb's Learning Style Inventory (LSI) 4.0 and students were assigned to one of three groups: (1) learning-mode-aligned supplemental material, (2) unaligned supplemental material, or (3) no supplemental material. Performance on non-surgical root canal treatment of typodont tooth #9 was collected over two lab exercises, with supplemental material provided in between exercises. Students responded to a satisfaction survey at the study's conclusion. The responses for three groups of learning mode were compared using analysis of variance for continuous numeric variables followed by Bonferroni test for multiple comparison. Categorical variables were compared using chi square and/or Fisher exact tests. There was a statistically significant difference between learning modes (p<0.001). No association was found between gender or age and learning mode preference. Comparing score change between lab exercises, mean score improvement was highest for Group 1 (p<0.05). While all students valued receiving supplemental learning materials, students provided with aligned materials reported statistically significantly higher perception of the materials' role in their improved performance/heightened understanding. Providing supplemental material aligned with students' learning mode significantly improved their learning experience objectively and subjectively.

It is necessary to provide speaking materials which were needed for the students of SMKN 1 Tanjungsari who faced the problem in speaking skill. The product of the research also fulfills the teacher’ needs as the materials which are not covered in the recently used textbook can be found in this supplementary material but the focus is in speaking. (2) The effectiveness of the supplementary speaking materials shows it is helpful towards the students in developing their speaking skill which is very needed in working world. The supplementary of speaking materials provides additional learning resources for students as well as the teacher to teach.

The article examines the process of teaching English for specific purposes at the Faculty of Tourism of the University of Maribor, Slovenia using coursebooks and authentic supplementary materials. The survey has shown that the students of the Faculty of Tourism prefer supplementary authentic materials to coursebooks because they find them sufficiently interesting or challenging. Specially designed classroom materials that are put into the Moodle by the teacher also offer opportunities for various activities in lesson planning for teaching, listening, speaking, reading and writing. Another important aspect of supplementary materials is that they facilitate the teacher’s creativity. However, there are advantages and disadvantages to using only coursebooks or only specially prepared classroom materials, and both - coursebooks and supplementary materials - should be used only after careful consideration. Although authentic materials may contain complex grammatical structures and difficult vocabulary, they bring real-life situations into classrooms, and students therefore find them very motivating, the survey has shown.

Human willpower and advancements in technology have pushed the boundaries of concrete construction to its limits and this requires concrete of high performance which simultaneously satisfies the requirements of high strength and durability. It is ambitious to imagine the production of fully sustainable concrete as long as cement and natural aggregates are used. Wherever possible, suitable green practices can be adopted to reduce the environmental impacts of concrete production. This includes the introduction of suitable waste materials in the concrete production process. Supplementary cementing materials derived from industrial wastes can be used to partially replace cement in concrete. This not only facilitates effective waste utilisation, but also reduces the hefty carbon footprint associated with the production of cement and hence concrete. This chapter evaluates the technical feasibility of utilising supplementary cementing materials obtained from industrial wastes to replace the cement in concrete by evaluating the strength and durability characteristics of high-performance concrete. The test results indicated that replacement of cement with supplementary materials up to 10% can be recommended.

Due to resource scarcity, environmental impact, and socioeconomic constraints, sustainable criteria should be given prime importance in the construction industry. The sustainability in concrete can be attained using supplementary materials. The numbers of supplementary concrete materials (SCMs) are available ranging from industries by-products, agro-products, waste product, and newly engineered materials. The selection of the supplementary materials is challenging due to the wide range of environmental, technical, and economic constraints. The paper proposes a decision support framework considering technical, environmental, social, and economic sustainability criteria for ranking of concrete supplementary material. The decision framework includes the optimal scoring method- (OSM-) based shortlisting of supplementary materials, with technical and cost characteristics, and subsequent prioritizing material according to sustainable potentiality order using AHP-TOPSIS. The stability of the ranking of sustainable concrete supplementary materials has been verified using sensitivity analysis. The present study develops decision support framework by employing technical characteristics of the most technically sound material used as concrete material. The technical, environmental, and socioeconomic sustainable performance indicators have considered its selection to obtain much needed sustainability and to boost the eco-friendly environment. From the proposed MCDM framework, it is found that engineered siliceous materials and agriculture-based industrial waste products as SCMs will prove to be most sustainable in the construction industry.

The Adjuvant Effect of Ambient Particulate Matter Is Closely Reflected by the Particulate Oxidant Potential

To evaluate the impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on insomnia and other sleep disturbances in health care professionals. A survey was distributed using social media and organizational emails to Brazilian active health care professionals during the COVID-19 outbreak. We explored potential associated factors including age, sex, occupation, workplace, work hours, income, previous infection with COVID-19, recent/current contact with COVID-19 patients, regional number of incident deaths, anxiety, and burnout. We evaluated new-onset/previous insomnia worsening episodes (primary outcome), new pharmacological treatments, sleep quality, duration, nightmares, and snoring (secondary outcomes). A total of 4,384 health professionals from all regions of the country were included in the analysis (44 ± 12 years, 76% females, 53.8% physicians). Overall, 55.7% were assisting patients with COVID-19, and 9.2% had a previous COVID-19 infection. The primary outcome occurred in 32.9% of respondents in parallel to 13% new pharmacological treatments for insomnia. The sleep quality worsened for 61.4%, while 43.5% and 22.8% reported ≥ 1-hour sleep duration reduction and worsening or new-onset nightmares, respectively. Multivariate analyses showed that age (odds ratio [OR]: 1.008; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.001-1.015), females (OR: 1.590; 95% CI 1.335-1.900), weight change (decrease: OR: 1.772; 95% CI 1.453-2.161; increase: OR: 1.468; 95% CI 1.249-1.728), prevalent anxiety (OR: 3.414; 95% CI 2.954-3.948), new-onset burnout (OR: 1.761; 95% CI 1.489-2.083), family income reduction > 30% (OR: 1.288; 95% CI 1.069-1.553), and assisting patients with COVID-19 (OR: 1.275; 95% CI 1.081-1.506) were independently associated with new-onset or worsening of previous insomnia episodes. We observed a huge burden of insomnia episodes and other sleep disturbances in health care professionals during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drager LF, Pachito DV, Moreno CRC, etal.

Supplementary materials are books and other materials we can use in addition to the coursebook. They include skills development materials, grammar, vocabulary and phonology practice materials, collections of communicative activities, teacher's resources and web materials. Supplementary materials may also come from authentic sources (e.g. newspaper and magazine articles, video, etc.). Some coursebook packages include supplementary materials and activities specially designed to fit the coursebook syllabus, and websites where you can download supplementary materials. We select supplementary materials and activities first by recognising that we need something different from the material in the coursebook, and then by knowing where to find the most appropriate kinds of material. We use supplementary materials and activities to provide something that is missing from the coursebook, to give learners extra practice, or just to bring something different to our lessons.

This thesis entitled, “Supplementary Materials in Philippine Politics and Governance.” Intended to find out answers to the following questions: 1. What is the level of validation of the Supplementary materials in Philippine Politics and Governance described in terms of parts as: objectives content activities and evaluation? 2. What is the level of Validity of Supplementary materials in Philippine Politics and Governance described in terms of characteristics to: suitability usability and consistency? 3. What is the mean performance of the students in terms of pretest, post-test? 4. What is the mean performance of the student in terms of performance task? 5. Is there any significant difference in the mean performance of the students in terms of pretest and post-test? and 6. Do Supplementary materials in Philippine Politics and Governance significantly affect the student performance task? The respondents for this particular research were teachers of Social Science and the student from General Academic Strand (GAS) and Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) in the District of Magdalena. In this study, teachers will choose as a sample among the population of teachers, (10) teachers of Buenavista Integrated National High School, Cigaras, Magdalena, and (10) teachers of Magdalena Integrated National High School Magdalena, Laguna, with the total of twenty (20) teachers in District of Magdalena, and (50) students from HUMSS and (25) students from GAS, with a total of 75 students in the District of Magdalena. The level of validation for the supplementary materials in Philippine Politics and Governance received very high ratings from the respondents. This includes the objectives, content, activities, and evaluation. Additionally, the standard deviations were reported for each variable. The supplementary materials in Philippine Politics and Governance were deemed highly valid by the respondents in terms of their suitability, usability, and consistency. The ratings for each variable were reported as very high, along with their respective standard deviations. The pretest and post-test performance of 75 respondents showed that the highest frequency of pre-test scores fell within the range of 21-30, while the highest frequency of post-test scores fell within the range of 31 to 40. The mean and standard deviation for the pre-test score were reported as satisfactory, while the post-test score showed an improvement rated as very satisfactory. Out of 75 respondents, all of the respondents score range from “85 to 89” on practical task 1 and 2 and from “90 to 100” on practical task 3 and 4 received the highest frequency of seventy-five (75) or 100.00% of the total sample population. The mean and standard deviation for the practical task remarked as Outstanding improved based on the score. The pre-test and post-test showed a significant difference in the performance of the students after the use of the supplementary materials, as indicated by the computed t values which were greater than the critical t value. Additionally, the p-values obtained were less than the significance alpha 0.05, suggesting the presence of a significance. The supplementary materials have a significant effect on the students practical task performance which are all statistically significant. The beta coefficient indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between the supplementary materials and practical task performance, with a positive coefficient suggesting that the supplementary materials improve performance. The computed t values obtained from the practical task which were greater than the critical t value. Furthermore, the p-values obtained were less than the significance alpha 0.05, hence there is presence of a significance. From the findings above, we can infer that at 0.05 level of significance, the null hypothesis “There is no significant difference in the performance of the students in terms of pre-test and post-test” and “There is no significant effect on the supplementary materials in Philippine Politics and Governance in terms of performance task” is rejected. Results indicate that using supplementary materials had a significant impact on students performance, as demonstrated by the significant difference between the pre-test and post-test scores. This suggests that the supplementary materials were effective in improving the students understanding of the subject matter.

In previous studies with cystic fibrosis (CF) IB3-1 lung epithelial cells in culture, we identified 194 unique high abundance proteins by conventional two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and mass spectrometry (Pollard, H. B., Ji, X.-D., Jozwik, C. J., and Jacobowitz, D. M. (2005) High abundance protein profiling of cystic fibrosis lung epithelial cells. Proteomics 5, 2210-2226). In the present work we compared the IB3-1 cells with IB3-1/S9 daughter cells repaired by gene transfer with AAV-(wild type)CFTR. We report that gene transfer resulted in significant changes in silver stain intensity of only 20 of the 194 proteins. However, simultaneous measurement of de novo biosynthetic rates with [(35)S]methionine of all 194 proteins in both cell types resulted in the identification of an additional 31 CF-specific proteins. Of the 51 proteins identified by this hybrid approach, only six proteins changed similarly in both the mass and kinetics categories. This kinetic portion of the high abundance CF proteome, hidden from direct analysis of abundance, included proteins from transcription and signaling pathways such as NFkappaB, chaperones such as HSC70, cytoskeletal proteins, and others. Connectivity analysis indicated that approximately 30% of the 51-member hybrid high abundance CF proteome interacts with the NFkappaB signaling pathway. In conclusion, measurement of biosynthetic rates on a global scale can be used to identify disease-specific differences within the high abundance cystic fibrosis proteome. Most of these kinetically defined proteins are unaffected in expression level when using conventional silver stain analysis. We anticipate that this novel hybrid approach to discovery of the high abundance CF proteome will find general application to other proteomic problems in biology and medicine.
