title: Nutrition Information Usage in Food Choices

description: In an online process-tracing study, we measured the actual usage of available back-of-pack nutrition information during substitutive food choices made by 240 participants who had the intention to eat healthy. Using mouse-tracking software in a computerized task in which participants had to make dichotomous food choices (e.g., coconut oil or olive oil for baking), we measured the frequency and time of nutritional information considered. Combined with demographic and psychosocial data, including information on the level of intention, action planning, self-efficacy, and nutrition literacy, we were able to model the determinants of inadvertent unhealthy substitutive food choices in a sequential multiple regression. Moreover, we found three groups of participants that clustered on energy, salt, sugar, and saturated fat information used.

title: Citizen science for monitoring the spatial and temporal dynamics of malaria vectors in relation to environmental risk factors in Ruhuha, Rwanda

description: Background: As part of malaria prevention and control efforts, the distribution and density of malaria mosquitoes requires continuous monitoring. Resources for long-term surveillance of malaria vectors, however, are often limited. The aim of the research was to evaluate the value of citizen science in providing insight into potential malaria vector hotspots and other malaria relevant information, and to determine predictors of malaria vector abundance in a region where routine mosquito monitoring has not been established to support vector surveillance.Methods: A one-year citizen science programme for malaria mosquito surveillance was implemented in five villages of the Ruhuha sector in Bugesera district, Rwanda. In total, 112 volunteer citizens were enrolled and reported monthly data on mosquitoes collected in their peridomestic environment using handmade carbon-dioxide baited traps. Additionally, they reported mosquito nuisance experienced as well as the number of confirmed malaria cases in their household.Results: In total, 3,793 female mosquitoes were collected, of which 10.8% were anophelines. For the entire period, 16% of the volunteers reported having at least one confirmed malaria case per month, but this varied by village and month. During the study year 66% of the households reported at least one malaria case. From a sector perspective, a higher mosquito and malaria vector abundance was observed in the two villages in the south of the study area. The findings revealed significant positive correlations among nuisance reported and confirmed malaria cases, and also between total number of Culicidae and confirmed malaria cases, but not between the numbers of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae and malaria cases. At the sector level, of thirteen geographical risk factors considered for inclusion in multiple regression, distance to the river network and elevation played a role in explaining mosquito and malaria mosquito abundance.Conclusion: The study demonstrates that a citizen science approach can contribute to mosquito monitoring, and can help to identify areas that, in view of limited resources for control, are at higher risk of malaria.

title: Data from: Wetland eco-engineering: measuring and modeling feedbacks of oxidation processes between plants and clay-rich material

description: Interest is growing in using soft sediment as a foundation in eco-engineering projects. Wetland construction in the Dutch lake Markermeer is an example: here dredging some of the clay-rich lake-bed sediment and using it to construct wetland will soon begin. Natural processes will be utilized during and after construction to accelerate ecosystem development. Knowing that plants can eco-engineer their environment via positive or negative biogeochemical plant–soil feedbacks, we conducted a six-month greenhouse experiment to identify the key biogeochemical processes in the mud when Phragmites australis is used as an eco-engineering species. We applied inverse biogeochemical modeling to link observed changes in pore water composition to biogeochemical processes. Two months after transplantation we observed reduced plant growth and shriveling and yellowing of foliage. The N:P ratios of plant tissue were low and these were affected not by hampered uptake of N, but by enhanced uptake of P. Subsequent analyses revealed high Fe concentrations in the leaves and roots. Sulfate concentrations rose drastically in our experiment due to pyrite oxidation; as reduction of sulfate will decouple Fe-P in reducing conditions, we argue that plant-induced iron toxicity hampered plant growth, forming a negative feedback loop, while simultaneously there was a positive feedback loop, as iron toxicity promotes P mobilization as a result of reduced conditions through root death, thereby stimulating plant growth and regeneration. Given these two feedback mechanisms, we propose the use of Fe-tolerant species rather than species that thrive in N-limited conditions. The results presented in this study demonstrate the importance of studying the biogeochemical properties of the situated sediment and the feedback mechanisms between plant and soil prior to finalizing the design of the eco-engineering project.

title: An assessment of the Dutch experience with health insurers acting as healthcare advisors

description: With managed competition, selective contracting and the appointing of preferred providers are important instruments for health insurers to improve their bargaining position in the healthcare purchasing market. Insurers can offer enrollees extra services, such as advice about their healthcare, to attract them, ensure that they remain loyal, and to channel them to preferred providers. We investigate which advice services insurers in the Dutch system of managed competition offer enrollees, how they inform them about the services, and if enrollees use and appreciate them.

title: Associations of dairy and fiber intake with circulating odd-chain fatty acids in post-myocardial infarction patients

description: This project studies associations between circulating odd-chain fatty acids and dairy and fiber intake among post-MI Dutch patients. Circulating odd-chain fatty acids pentadecanoic (15:0) and heptadecanoic acid (17:0) are considered to reflect dairy intake. In cohort studies, higher circulating 15:0 and 17:0 were associated with lower type 2 diabetes risk. A recent randomized controlled trial in humans suggested that fiber intake also increased circulating 15:0 and 17:0, potentially resulting from fermentation by gut microbes. We performed cross-sectional analyses in a subsample of 869 Dutch post-MI patients of the Alpha Omega Cohort who had data on dietary intake and circulating fatty acids. Dietary intakes (g/d) were assessed using a 203-item food frequency questionnaire. Circulating 15:0 and 17:0 (as % of total fatty acids) were measured in plasma phospholipids (PL) and cholesteryl esters (CE). Spearman correlations (rs) were computed between intakes of total dairy, dairy fat, fiber, and circulating 15:0 and 17:0. Patients were on average 69 years old, 78% was male and 21% had diabetes. Total dairy intake comprised predominantly milk and yogurt (69%). Dairy fat was mainly derived from cheese (47%) and milk (15%), and fiber was mainly from grains (43%). Circulating 15:0 in PL was significantly correlated with total dairy and dairy fat intake (both rs=0.19, p&lt;0.001), but not with dietary fiber intake (rs=0.05, p=0.11). Circulating 17:0 in PL was correlated both with dairy intake (rs=0.14 for total dairy and 0.11 for dairy fat, p&lt;0.001), and fiber intake (rs=0.19, p&lt;0.001). Results in CE were roughly similar, except for a weaker correlation of CE 17:0 with fiber (rs=0.11, p=0.001). Circulating 15:0 was highest in those with high dairy intake irrespective of fiber intake, while circulating 17:0 was highest in those with high dairy and fiber intake. To conclude, in our cohort of post-MI patients, circulating 15:0 reflected dairy intake but not fiber intake, whereas circulating 17:0 reflected both dairy and fiber intake. These data suggest that cardiometabolic health benefits previously attributed to 17:0 as a biomarker of dairy intake may partly be explained by fiber intake.

title: Community-based control of malaria vectors using Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) in Rwanda

description: Larval source management (LSM) programs for control of malaria vectors are often vertically organized, while there is much potential for involving local communities in program implemen-tation. To address this, we evaluated the entomological impact of community-based application of Bacillus thuringiensis var. israelensis (Bti) in a rice irrigation scheme in Ruhuha, Rwanda. A non-randomized trial with control compared a Bti implementation program that was supervised by the project team (ES) with a program that was led and carried out by local rice farming com-munities (CB). One other area served as a control to assess mosquito populations without Bti ap-plication. Entomological surveys were carried out every two weeks and assessed the presence and abundance of the larval, pupal and adult stages of Anopheles mosquitoes. In ES, the per round reduction in Anopheles larval habitats was estimated at 49%. This reduction was less in CB (28%) and control (22%), although the per round reduction in CB was still significantly higher than in control. Pupal production was almost completely prevented from round 5 (out of 10) on-wards in both CB (average habitat occupancy 0.43%) and ES intervention arms (average habitat occupancy 0.27%), whereas pupal occupancy rates were on average 12.8% from round 5 onwards in the control. Emergence of adult mosquitoes from rice fields was thus prevented, although this was not directly noticeable in adult An. gambiae populations in houses nearby the rice fields. To-gether with our earlier work on the willingness to financially contribute to the LSM program and the high perceived safety and acceptance of the Bti product, the current study demonstrates that, in an environment with limited resources, communities could become more engaged in LSM pro-gram implementation and contribute directly to malaria vector control in their environment.

title: Data for: Functional traits shape tree species distribution in the Himalayas

description: This data is the result of research entitled "Functional traits shape tree species distribution in the Himalayas". The research was carried out along a species-rich steep elevational gradient along the southern slopes of the Himalayas in central Nepal. To understand how traits shape the distribution of plant species along the elevational gradient, we selected 31 common tree species that partitioned the elevational gradient. To adequately describe species’ trait values and account for elevational trait variation, we sampled for each species 6 trees; three trees from the lower limits of their elevational distribution ranges and three trees from the upper limits. To assure that the traits are fully expressed, we sampled healthy-looking trees with sun-exposed crowns (crown illumination index ≥2.5, Clark and Clark, 1992). To reduce ontogenetic variation, we sampled adult trees with a stem diameter at breast height (DBH) between 10 and 30 cm. We selected 39 traits that are important for resource acquisition, use and conservation and play a key role in defence, metabolism, or adaptation to harsh environmental conditions (e.g. freezing, drought, and low nutrients availability). Traits were measured following standardized protocols (Pérez-Harguindeguy et al., 2013; Scholz et al., 2013; Zhang et al., 2016). We analysed how traits cluster into separate functions using a cluster analysis, and how traits and clusters associate into distinct plant strategies using a Principal Component Analysis. We found that multiple trade-offs in plant size, hydraulics, and light competitiveness shape species distribution along the elevational gradient. Along this extreme environmental gradient, stem and branch traits that integrate multiple plant organs and functions are better predictors of species’ elevational distributions than leaf traits.

title: Data underlying the publication "Temperature affects the outcome of competition between two sympatric endoparasitoids"

description: Foraging behaviour of two parasitoid species, Cotesia vestalis and Didegma semiclausum, was studied under conditions of intra- and interspecific competition at three different temperatures, 22, 27 or 33 degrees Celsius. The two species have overlapping host niches but differ in their thermotolerance thresholds. Because the parasitoids were allowed to forage at different densities and density may influence parasitism success through interference competition, we first investigated the effect of parasitoid density on parasitism success. Adult parasitoid females were released in different numbers (1, 2, or 4) and allowed to forage for 3h in a cage with a plant infested with 30 hosts (2nd to 3rd instar Plutella xylostella caterpillars). Diadegma semiclausum was also tested at a density of 8 females. After the 3-h foraging period, the adult parasitoids were removed and the cages with parasitized caterpillars were maintained in a greenhouse at 22 degrees Celsius until parasitoid cocoons were formed. All cocoons, moth pupae and dead caterpillars were counted. Parasitism success was then calculated as the number of cocoons that were formed out of the 30 caterpillars that had initially been placed on the plants. We then continued by comparing parasitism success when both species were foraging together (one or two parasitoids of each species) at 22, 27, 33 degrees Celsius. Parasitoid were only exposed to the higher temperature regimes during foraging (3h). Cages with pararasitized caterpillars were maintained at 22 degrees Celsius until cocoon formation and parasitism success was determined as described for the density treatments. Host density was 30 in all cages and cages were considered the unit of replication.

title: Simulate Gene Expression Profiles from a linear Combination of Maotif Acitivity Scores and Various Forms of Noise

description: Cellular identity and behavior is controlled by complex gene regulatory networks. Transcription factors (TFs) bind to specific DNA sequences to regulate the transcription of their target genes. On the basis of these TF motifs in cis-regulatory elements we can model the influence of TFs on gene expression. In such models of TF motif activity the data is usually modeled assuming a linear relationship between the motif activity and the gene expression level. A commonly used method to model motif influence is based on Ridge Regression. One important assumption of linear regression is the independence between samples. However, if samples are generated from the same cell line, tissue, or other biological source, this assumption may be invalid. This same assumption of independence is also applied to different, yet similar, experimental conditions, which may also be inappropriate. In theory, the independence assumption between samples could lead to loss in signal detection. Here we investigate whether a Bayesian model that allows for correlations results in more accurate inference of motif activities.Here, we extend the Ridge Regression to a Bayesian Linear Mixed Model, which allows us to model dependence between different samples. This dataset provides the code to simulate gene expression data as a linear sum of motif influences, with different degrees of interaction assumed.The code was used in a simulation study in "Investigating the Effect of Dependence Between Conditions with Bayesian Linear Mixed Models for Motif Activity Analysis" (https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0231824) by Simone Lederer, Tom Heskes, Simon J van Heeringen and Cornelis A Albers.This research is presented in Chapter 4 of the PhD thesis titled "Drug-Drug Interaction Models - from Gene Expression tp Phenotype" by Simone Lederer. The code is written in the Python programming language and additionally available on GitHub (https://github.com/Sim19/SimGEXPwMotifs).
