title: Repeatability of baited remote underwater video station (BRUVS) results within and between seasons

description: <p>Complete dataset for "Repeatability of baited remote underwater video station (BRUVS) results within and between seasons" in PLoS ONE by: C. Samantha Sherman, Michelle R. Heupel, Mohini Johnson, Muslimin Kaimuddin, L.M. Sjamsul Qamar,Andrew Chin,Colin A. Simpfendorfer.</p>
<p>Abstract [Related Publication]: Baited remote underwater video stations (BRUVS) are increasingly being used to evaluate and monitor reef communities. Many BRUVS studies compare multiple sites sampled at single time points that may differ from the sampling time of another site. As BRUVS use grows in its application to provide data relevant to sustainable management, marine protected area success, and overall reef health, understanding repeatability of sampling results is vital. We examined the repeatability of BRUVS results for the elasmobranch community both within and between seasons and years, and explored environmental factors affecting abundances at two sites in Indonesia. On 956 BRUVS, 1139 elasmobranchs (69% rays, 31% sharks) were observed. We found consistent results in species composition and abundances within a season and across years. However, elasmobranch abundances were significantly higher in the wet season. The elasmobranch community was significantly different between the two sites sampled, one site being more coastal and easily accessed by fishermen. Our results demonstrate that while BRUVS are a reliable and repeatable method for surveying elasmobranchs, care must be taken in the timing of sampling between different regions to ensure that any differences observed are due to inherent differences amongst sampling areas as opposed to seasonal dissimilarities.</p>

</ul>
<p>From these studies I sourced data on algal turf length (measured in mm) and algal turf sediment load (g m<sup>-2</sup>) which had been quantified using vacuum sampling methods on coral reefs on the Great Barrier Reef. These data allowed me to explore graphically the relationship between sediment load and algal turf length, sediment load distributions among habitats and sediment load distributions across the continental shelf of the Great Barrier Reef. </p>

title: Data from: The influence of Sargassum biomass and thallus density on the recruitment of coral reef fishes

description: <p><strong>Background (extract from related publication): </strong></p>
<p>A habitat&rsquo;s structural complexity is a key determinant of the recruitment and composition of associated communities. While the influence of the physical structure of corals on coral reef fish recruitment is well studied, the significance of other benthic components, like macroalgae, remains unclear. We used experimental patches of the canopy-forming macroalga <em>Sargassum</em> to assess the influence of macroalgal complexity, which was manipulated by altering thallus density and biomass, on coral reef fish recruitment. </p>
<p><strong>Methods (extract from related publication): </strong></p>
<p>We established twenty-five 75 x 75 cm patches on the reef flat of Orpheus Island, (inshore, central Great Barrier Reef) during austral summer. Patches were randomly divided into five treatments of varying Sargassum thallus density (3-9 thalli) and/or biomass (177-779 g per patch) and surveyed daily for recruiting fishes for 18 days. </p>

title: In vitro percutaneous absorption data for model chemicals in Rhinella marina: chemicals formulated in penetration enhancers ethanol or propylene glycol

description: <p>Previous studies by the authors measured in vitro absorption kinetics of model chemicals through Rh. marina skin when the chemicals were formulated as saturated solutions in Amphibian Ringers Solution. However, many chemicals are formulated in solutions containing penetration enhancers. No data exists to quantify the effect of penetration enhancers on absorption kinetics through frog skin, nor is there information of how these enhancers effect frog skin structure. This dataset provides in vitro absorption kinetics for three model chemicals - benzoic acid, caffeine, and ibuprofen – formulated in either 1/10/30% v/v ethanol or 20% PG solution. Franz-type diffusion cells were used to measure absorption, and chemical content was quantified using validated HPLC methods. Additionally, the impact on frog skin due to exposure to these penetration enhancers was characterised using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and histology. </p><p>Each chemical was formulated as a saturated solution (infinite dose) in one of the enhancers and applied to the external skin surface. Diffusion through the skin was measured over a period of four to six hours. Chemical flux was determined from the steady-state slope of the cumulative absorption vs time plot. Skin samples for DSC experiments and histology were either freshly excised, or exposed to one of the following for a period of six hours: ARS, 1/10/30% v/v ethanol, 20% v/v PG.</p><p>Data includes a spreadsheet (comma-separated values / .csv file) providing individual animal information (including animal ID, sex, weight, and from which body regions each skin sample was obtained), penetration enhancer identification, chemical information (including name and concentration) and absorption data including chemical content at each sample time and calculated flux and Kp values. DSC and histology are available by contacting the author.</p><p>Column headings for the spreadsheet are explained below:</p><p>AnimalID: individual animal identifier</p><p>Sex: animal sex </p><p>Weight: frog weight in grams</p><p>Region: primary skin region (dorsal=D/ ventral=V) of skin sample</p><p>SubRegion: Identifies if ventral samples are thoracic (T) or pelvic (P) in origin.

title: Data from: Critical Consideration of Tuberculosis Management of Papua New Guinea Nationals and Cross-Border Health Issues in the Remote Torres Strait Islands [Chapter 5 PhD Thesis]

description: <p><strong>Background [Extract from related publication]:</strong> The international border between Australia and Papua New Guinea (PNG) serves as a gateway for the delivery of primary and tertiary healthcare for PNG patients presenting to Australian health facilities with presumptive tuberculosis (TB). An audit of all PNG nationals with presumptive TB who presented to clinics in the Torres Strait between 2016 and 2019 was conducted to evaluate outcomes for PNG patients and to consider the consistency and equity of decision-making regarding aeromedical evacuation. We also reviewed the current aeromedical retrieval policy and the outcomes of patients referred back to Daru General Hospital in PNG. The cross-border movement of people from PNG into Australia is associated with an emergent duty of care. Ongoing monitoring and evaluation of patient outcomes are necessary for transparency and justice.</p>

title: EDUCATIONAL EXPECTATIONS AND SUICIDAL IDEATION: A SERIAL MEDIATION MODEL - Data

description: <p><strong>Background: </strong></p>
<p>To address the gap in the literature the underlying mechanism between educational expectations and suicidal ideation were examining through a serial mediation model. Based on the hypothesized model, the study has five hypotheses. We predict that the link between educational expectations and suicide ideation is explained by i) psychache, ii) hopelessness, iii) academic burnout, iv) a sequential effect of academic burnout and psychache and v) a sequential effect of academic burnout and hopelessness. The hypothesized model was tested across the different sources of expectations and across three sample groups to examine for possible cross-cultural variations.  </p>

title: Data from: Collapsing ecosystem functions on an inshore coral reef

description: <p>This dataset contains the data associated with the following publication: Tebbett SB, Morais RA, Goatley CHR, Bellwood DR (2021) Collapsing ecosystem functions on an inshore coral reef. Journal of Environmental Management 289: 112471 <a href="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112471">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvman.2021.112471</a></p>
<p>These data were used to examine changes in the functioning of the benthic algal turf community (in terms of its capacity to provide nutritional resources to herbivorous fishes) and herbivorous fish community (in terms of energy flow and productivity) across a &gt;10 year timespan that was punctuated by a series of disturbances, namely a substantial increase in benthic sediment loads, at Orpheus Island on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. The data underpinning our functional evaluation were based on underwater visual censuses (twelve 5-minute timed swims in 2018 as well as 2019) of the herbivorous fish community (all nominally herbivorous species in the families Acanthuridae, Siganidae and Labridae [Scarini]). In both 2018 and 2019 six algal turf particulate samples were taken at each of two sites per year (n = 12 samples per year). For each particulate sample algal turf length was recorded by measuring the length of 5 haphazardly selected algal turf filaments. These data were compared to equivalent data originally collected in 2013 and 2005/2006 (herbivorous fish data) as well as in 2013 and 2008 (benthic algal turf particulate data) and originally published in Goatley et al. (2016), Bonaldo and Bellwood (2011) and Fox and Bellwood (2007). This data publications contains: The raw herbivorous fish abundance data Algal turf length and accumulated sediment/particulate load data The functions for the benthic algal turfs The functions for the herbivorous fish community Details of the datasets including units of measure can be found in the 'read me' file.</p>

title: Participation in exercise and sport for individuals with minimal disability from multiple sclerosis: Quantitative feasibility data

description: <p>The flexible exercise participation program (FEPP) is a novel intervention developed to enable individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS) participate and progress in an exercise or sport of their choice. The FEPP is underpinned by guidelines on aerobic exercise for individuals with MS and is supported by a physiotherapist using behaviour change techniques. As part of a FEPP feasibility trial, the aims of this study were to:</p>
<p>1) assess the feasibility of the FEPP for individuals with minimal disability from MS.</p>
<p>2) assess the feasibility of a larger clinical trial to evaluate the impact of the FEPP.</p>
<p>FEPP feasibility was assessed with the Goal Attainment Scale (GAS) T-score as the primary outcome. Secondary outcomes included exercise participation, high-level mobility (HiMAT), vitality (Subjective Vitality Scale), biomarkers for inflammation (cytokines levels [IL2, IL4, IL6, IL10, TNF and IFN&gamma;], and acceptability (participant survey). Trial feasibility was assessed via process, resource, management and scientific outcomes.</p>
