The authors conducted 3 sets of experiments. In the 1st set of experiments, participants made alphabetic position estimations. In the 2nd set, participants made interletter distance estimations. In the 3rd set, they made comparative judgments of the alphabetic order of a pair of letters. The results showed that participants had highly accurate ordinal level information about the alphabet in memory but that interval level information was systematically distorted. In addition, alphabetic serial information was found to be used in 2 distinct modes in memory, depending on whether the representation could be contained within the span of immediate memory.

The applicant provided evidence that the additive currently in the market complies with the existing conditions of authorisation. The EFSA Panel on Additives and Products or Substances used in Animal Feed (FEEDAP) concluded that fumaric acid remains safe under the authorised conditions of use for the terrestrial animals, consumers and the environment.

Article Synopsis
- - The updated S3 guideline for "Positioning Therapy and Mobilization of Critically Ill Patients" introduces significant methodological changes and evidence-based insights, focusing on a more tailored application of recommendations for better patient care in ICUs.
- - Early mobilization is emphasized to begin within 72 hours of ICU admission, supported by a structured scoring system to optimize patient rehabilitation, while suggesting specific actions such as standing and transferring from bed to chair even during treatment like ECMO.
- - New strategies include promoting semi-recumbent positioning for intubated patients, recommending prone positioning for those with ARDS, and incorporating new sections on assistive devices and neuromuscular electrical stimulation to enhance recovery processes.
