title: Replication data for: Groundwater contamination from a municipal landfill: Effect of age, landfill closure, and season on groundwater chemistry

description: This dataset contains data collected to study "Groundwater contamination from a municipal landfill: Effect of age, landfill closure, and season on groundwater chemistry". Groundwater samples were collected seasonally and analysed for 28 physicochemical parameters; temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, dissolved oxygen, potassium, sodium, ammonium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, cadmium, chromium, copper, lead, nickel, zinc, mercury, chloride, sulphate, bicarbonate, nitrate, nitrite, total nitrogen, total phosphorous, total organic carbon, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB7) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH16).Article Abstract - Related PublicationGroundwater reservoirs continue to be threatened globally, mainly from anthropogenic activities. There is need to understand how remediation of groundwater can be influenced by site-specific factors. There are few studies, if any, that incorporate at least three site-specific factors in a single investigation of groundwater contamination from landfills. We report a study where waste age, landfill closure, and season were compared with changes in water quality, using a twenty-four-year groundwater chemistry dataset. Groundwater samples were extracted from monitoring wells and analysed for twenty-eight physicochemical parameters. Results showed discharge of both legacy pollutants and elevated inorganic pollutants into the groundwater. Among the site-specific factors, waste age was the most influential. At the landfill age of 21 years, concentrations of pollutants became close to the reference value. The result also indicated that closing the landfill caused significant decrease in concentrations of contaminants in the groundwater (P &lt; 0.05). Season was the least influential, registering significant results only for dissolved oxygen, sulphate and chloride (P &lt; 0.05). Lastly, the result showed strong attenuation of pollutants with distance, thereby demonstrating the feasibility of the aquifer acting as a natural treatment plant to the pollutants. This eliminates any serious environmental risk associated with the emanating leachate, but at a cost of prohibiting abstraction of the groundwater for human use, due to potential health risks.

title: Replication data for: Room without a view—Den excavation in relation to body size in brown bears

description: Data set used as well as model validation plots for the article "Room without a view – den excavation in relation to body size in brown bears". The data were collected as part of the long-term and individual based monitoring program of brown bears by the Scandinavian Brown bear Research Project (www.bearproject.info).Article Abstract - Related PublicationHibernation is an adaptive strategy to survive harsh winter conditions and food shortage. The use of well-insulated winter dens helps animals minimize energy loss during hibernation. Brown bears (<i>Ursus arctos</i>) commonly use excavated dens for hibernation. Physical attributes of excavated dens are expected to impact the bear's heat retention and energy conservation. The objective of this study was to examine the determinants of cavity size of excavated dens and the impact of physical attributes of excavated dens on energy conservation in hibernating bears, hypothesizing that bears excavate dens in a way to minimize heat loss and optimize energy conservation during hibernation. We predicted that den cavity size would be determined by the bear's body size and that older bears would excavate better-fitting cavities to minimize heat loss, due to their previous experience. We further predicted that physical attributes of excavated dens would affect the bears’ posthibernation body condition. Our results revealed that bears excavated a den cavity in relation to their body size, regardless of sex, and that older bears tended to excavate better-fitting den cavities compared to young bears, as we expected. Older bears excavated better-fitting den cavities, suggesting a potentially experience-based shift with age in den-excavation behavior and an optimum cavity size relative to a bear's body size. Our key finding is that insulation of excavated dens provided by wall/rood thickness and bedding materials had a significant positive effect on bears’ posthibernation body condition. We believe that our study provides new insight into how not only the quality of denning habitat, but also the quality of dens may affect hibernating animals, by presenting a potential adaptive aspect of den preparation (age effect on efficiency in den excavation) and effect of den attributes on the posthibernation body condition of brown bears.

title: Psychometric testing simulation evaluation questionnaires

description: Psychometric testing of the Norwegian version of the <i>Simulation Design Scale, </i>the <i>Educational Practices Questionnaire </i>and<i> </i>the <i>Student Satisfaction And Self-Confidence In Learning Scale</i> in nursing education.The dataset is replication data for the peer reviewed article "Psychometric testing of the Norwegian version of the Simulation Design Scale, the Educational Practices Questionna" (see separate link) Article Abstract - Related Publication Introduction: Simulation-based learning is a well-established technique in nursing education. However, there is a need for reliable and validated evaluation tools across both national boundaries and cultural conditions. Such evaluation tools may contribute in identifying areas for improvement in simulation-based learning from the nursing students’ perspective. Objectives: The aim of this study was to test three widely used American questionnaires – the Simulation Design Scale, the Educational Practices Questionnaire, and the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, for psychometric properties among Norwegian undergraduate nursing students. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at a university simulation center in southern part of Norway. A total of 105 undergraduate nursing students participated, giving a response rate of 77%. An exploratory factor analysis was used to examine construct validity. Cronbach’s alpha was applied in order to establish the questionnaires’ internal consistency. Results: The exploratory factor analyses displayed the same number of extracted factors as the number of subscales in each of the original American questionnaires. However, the item-factor structure differed from the original item-subscales. The Cronbach’s alpha was &gt; 0.7 for all three questionnaires, indicating acceptable internal consistency. Conclusion: Psychometric testing of the Norwegian versions of the three questionnaires, the Simulation Design Scale, the Educational Practices Questionnaire, and the Student Satisfaction and SelfConfidence in Learning Scale, could be used as valid instruments for nursing students to evaluate important aspects of simulation-based learning. This also makes it easier to compare evaluation results of SBL across languages and cultural boundaries. However, to confirm the construct validity of the factors extracted in this study, further multi-site studies are needed to perform a confirmatory factor analysis in a new, large sample.<br><br>

title: Data set for "Exploring pupils' and teachers' perspectives on face-to-face promotive interaction"

description: This study reports on pupils’ and teachers’ perceptions of face-to-face promotive interaction (FtFPI) in cooperative learning (CL) at two primary schools in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). Using mixed methods, the study asks (1) ‘To what extent are the aspects of FtFPI most likely to influence pupils’ CL group work?’ (2) ‘What are the challenges in applying pupils’ FtFPI in small CL groups?’ The findings reveal mostly positive beliefs of FtFPI influence on small CL group work. However, when it comes to pupils’ and teachers’ experiences, several challenges have been identified: (1) organisation of FtFPI, (2) planning and balancing between working on a group task and supporting peers, (3) interpersonal behaviours, and (4) supportive communication. The findings suggest that more classroom research related to peers’ promotive interpersonal behaviour and supportive communication is needed.The article is accepted. <br><br><br>

description: Data from Mortensen and Rosell (2020), "Long-term capture and handling effects on body condition, reproduction and survival in a semi-aquatic mammal", Scientific Reports.Article Abstract - Related PublicationIn long-term individual-based field studies, several parameters need to be assessed repeatedly to fully understand the potential fitness effects on individuals. Often studies only evaluate capture stress that appears in the immediate weeks or breeding season and even long-term studies fail to evaluate the long-term effects of their capture procedures. We investigated effects of long-term repeated capture and handling of individuals in a large semi-aquatic rodent using more than 20 years of monitoring data from a beaver population in Norway. To investigate the effects, we corrected for ecological factors and analysed the importance of total capture and handling events, years of monitoring and deployment of telemetry devices on measures related to body condition, reproduction and survival of individual beavers. Body mass of dominant individuals decreased considerably with number of capture events (107 g per capture), but we found no statistically clear short or long-term effects of capture and handling on survival or other body condition indices. Annual litter size decreased with increasing number of captures among older individuals. Number of captures furthermore negatively affected reproduction in the beginning of the monitoring, but the effect decreased over the years, indicating habituation to repeated capture and handling. By assessing potential impacts on several fitness-related parameters at multiple times, we can secure the welfare of wild animal populations when planning and executing future conservation studies as well as ensure ecologically reliable research data.<br>

description: Abstract<br>This study aims to test the nomological validity of the People Performance Scales (PPS) using the job demands-resources (JD-R) model. All employees at two large companies in Norway (a governmental agency and a worker’s union) were invited to complete the PPS questionnaire electronically. A total of 2,469 respondents completed the questionnaire, resulting in an 87 percent response rate. Data was analyzed Structural Equation Modelling. First, all 15 scales included in the PPS showed excellent internal and construct validity. PPS was also found to have configural-, construct-level metric- and scale-level metric invariance across age groups and genders. Second, findings indicate that the PPS can be used for both research and consultancy based upon the JD- R model, while simultaneously assessing constructs of particular importance in Norwegian and Scandinavian legislation. The PPS represents a short and efficient questionnaire which measures the most relevant working environment constructs in a reliable and distinct way. The questionnaire has great psychometric characteristics and is well suited for use in organizations to measure employees’ experience of working environment factors, allowing organizations to identify areas of improvement and to support organizational development.

title: Dataset generated for Gjerdrum et al. Refractive precision of ray tracing IOL calculations based on OCT data versus traditional IOL calculation formulas based on reflectometry in patients with a history of laser vision correction for myopia

description: <b>Purpose:</b>To compare the refractive predictability of ray tracing IOL calculations based on OCT data versus traditional IOL calculation formulas based on reflectometry in patients with a history of previous myopic laser vision correction (LVC)<b>Patient and methods:</b>This was a prospective interventional single-arm study of IOL calculations for cataract and refractive lens exchange (RLE) patients with a history of myopic LVC.Preoperative biometric data was collected using an optical low coherence reflectometry (OLCR) device (Haag-Streit Lenstar 900) and two optical coherence tomography (OCT) devices (Tomey Casia SS-1000 and Heidelberg Engineering Anterion). Traditional post LVC formulas (Barret True-K no-history, Haigis-L and Shammas no-history) with reflectometry data, and ray tracing IOL calculation software (OKULIX, Panopsis GmbH, Mainz, Germany)) with OCT data were used to calculate IOL power. Follow-up examination was two to three months after surgery. The main outcome measure, refractive prediction error (RPE), was calculated as the achieved postoperative refraction minus the predicted refraction. The study followed the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki and was approved by the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics in Norway (Ref. no 2019/768).A written informed consent was obtained

title: Replication data for: Microclimatic comparison of lichen heaths and shrubs: shrubification generates atmospheric heating but subsurface cooling during the growing season

description: Data from <em>Microclimatic comparison of lichen heaths and shrubs: shrubification generates atmospheric heating but subsurface cooling during the growing season, </em>Biogeosciences. See ReadMe file for more information. Article Abstract Lichen heaths are declining in abundance in alpine and Arctic areas partly due to an increasing competition with shrubs. This shift in vegetation types might have important consequences for the microclimate and climate on a larger scale. The aim of our study is to measure the difference in microclimatic conditions between lichen heaths and shrub vegetation during the growing season. With a paired plot design, we measured the net radiation, soil heat flux, soil temperature and soil moisture on an alpine mountain area in southern Norway during the summer of 2018 and 2019. We determined that the daily net radiation of lichens was on average 3.15 MJ (26 %) lower than for shrubs during the growing season. This was mainly due to a higher albedo of the lichen heaths but also due to a larger longwave radiation loss. Subsequently, we estimate that a shift from a lichen heath to shrub vegetation leads to an average increase in atmospheric heating of 3.35 MJ d<sup>−1</sup> during the growing season. Surprisingly, the soil heat flux and soil temperature were higher below lichens than below shrubs during days with high air temperatures. This implies that the relatively high albedo of lichens does not lead to a cooler soil compared to shrubs during the growing season. We predict that the thicker litter layer, the presence of soil shading and a higher evapotranspiration rate at shrub vegetation are far more important factors in explaining the variation in soil temperature between lichens and shrubs. Our study shows that a shift from lichen heaths to shrub vegetation in alpine and Arctic areas will lead to atmospheric heating, but it has a cooling effect on the subsurface during the growing season, especially when air temperatures are relatively high.
