In other words, the implications are valid regarding the knowledge formalised in the Boolean network and can also be checked by supplementary human expert knowledge or further literature research, e.g., for co-regulation of genes or possible or forbidden resulting states.

On the basis of job task-specific supplementary surveys performed by technical experts, the situational lumbar load represented by the compressive force at the lumbosacral disc was determined via biomechanical model calculations for any working situation with object handling and load-intensive postures during the total working life.

The decision maker is assumed to use the hazard rates inferred from an expert elicitation study3 (see Methods and Supplementary Methods).
Demographics, including age, sex, area of residence and so on, were obtained for each case (Supplementary Material 1), with histological diagnosis confirmed by expert pathology review.
Trait values for the 72 benthic taxa were obtained from the expertise of the team members, by consulting other experts, and from literature review (See Supplementary Note 1).
