title: Data of 'Petroleum refinery effluent contribution to chemical mixture toxic pressure in the environment'

description: In our paper ‘Petroleum refinery effluent contribution to chemical mixture toxic pressure in the environment’ (submitted), we developed a generic methodology to assess the petroleum refinery effluent (PRE) contribution to mixture toxic pressure in the environment, using the multi-substance potentially affected fraction of species (msPAF) as an indicator. Based on measured chemical concentrations, compiled species sensitivity distributions (SSD) and dilution factors, msPAF levels were estimated for undiluted effluents at discharge points and diluted effluents downstream in receiving waters. Regardless of differences in endpoints and locations, hydrocarbons (mainly total petroleum hydrocarbons) and inorganics (mainly ammonia) explained at least 85% of the mixture toxic pressure. The msPAF levels of PREs were on average 2.5-4.5 orders of magnitude lower than background levels, suggesting that PREs were minor contributors to the toxic pressure in the environment.This dataset contains data on estimated msPAF levels for different refinery effluents (present study) and estimated background msPAF levels in the corresponding basin calculated by Posthuma et al. (2019).

title: Material Supply Strategies in a Crisis (MaSSC)

description: The research project “Material Supply Strategies in a Crisis” (MaSSC) was divided into two parts. In part I of the research, the focus was on understanding supply strategies in light of the context (i.e., the national healthcare system), the problems faced during the first wave of COVID-19, and the challenges encountered in effectuating supply strategies. Part I of the study focused exclusively on the Netherlands. In part II, we complement the in-depth perspective on the case of the Netherlands with an overview of supply strategies, lessons learned, and insights into preparedness for future health crises from 45 experts from 33 countries around the world.

title: Maturation of glomerular filtration rate in term-born neonates: an individual participant data meta-analysis.

description: AbstractBackground: The evidence from individual studies to support the maturational pattern of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in healthy term-born neonates is inconclusive. We performed an individual participant data (IPD) meta-analysis of reported measured GFR (mGFR) data aimed to establish GFR reference values in the first month of life. As a secondary objective, we aimed to optimize neonatal creatinine-based GFR estimations in clinical care.Methods: We identified studies reporting mGFR measured by exogenous markers or creatinine clearance (CrCL) in healthy term-born neonates through searching the Pubmed and ClinicalTrials.gov databases. The relationship between postnatal age and individual clearance was investigated using cubic splines with generalized additive linear mixed models. From our reference values, we estimated an updated coefficient for the Schwartz equation (eGFR(ml/min/1.73m2)=(k*height (cm))/serum creatinine(mg/dl)).Results: Fifty out of 1521 screened articles reported mGFR in healthy term-born neonates, and we analyzed 1041 mGFR values from 944 neonates. IPD were available for 367 neonates and the other 577 neonates were represented by 44 aggregated data points as means/medians per cohortgroup. GFR doubled in the first five days after birth from 19.6 (95% CI 14.7;24.6) ml/min/1.73m2 to 40.6 (95% CI 36.7;44.5) ml/min/1.73m2, then more gradually increased to 59.4 (95% CI 45.9;72.9) ml/min/1.73m2 by four weeks of age. A coefficient of 0.31 to estimate GFR best fitted the data.Conclusions: These reference values for healthy term newborns show a biphasic increase in GFR with the largest increase between days 1 and 5. Our mGFR reference values and updated coefficient for the Schwartz equation can help identify acute kidney injury or augmented renal clearance altered GFR in term-born neonates.

title: Data on BMI, diabetes mellitus and non-muscle invasive bladder cancer recurrence and progression from the Nijmegen Bladder Cancer study conducted in The Netherlands

description: These data belong to and include all variables for the statistical analyses conducted in the Plos One paper entitled “No clear associations of adult BMI and diabetes mellitus with non-muscle invasive bladder cancer recurrence and progression” by Jelle Evers, Anne J. Grotenhuis, Katja K.H. Aben, Lambertus A.L.M. Kiemeney, Alina Vrieling from Radboud University Medical Center, Nijmegen, The Netherlands. The objective of this paper was to determine the associations of BMI and diabetes mellitus with risks of recurrence and progression among non-muscle invasive bladder cancer patients.Data from the Nijmegen Bladder Cancer Study (NBCS) were used, as described in more detail in the paper. In short, non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) patients who are registered in the Netherlands Cancer Registry (NCR), held by the Netherlands Comprehensive Cancer Organisation, were selected and invited to participate in the NBCS in four batches. Only NMIBC patients under the age of 75 years and who were diagnosed between 1995 and 2010 in one of seven hospitals in the mid-eastern part of the Netherlands were invited. Also, a non-overlapping series of 280 NMIBC patients who were previously recruited for a separate study on gene-environment interactions was included. Of all invited patients, 59% responded and filled out a questionnaire on general characteristics, medical history, lifestyle, and family history of cancer. The median time between diagnosis and filling out the questionnaire was 2.8 years (interquartile range: 1.8 - 6.7 years). Data on the primary tumour, treatment, and clinical follow-up were retrieved from medical files. A total of 1433 NMIBC patients were included.

title: The reasons behind the (non)use of feedback reports for quality improvement in physical therapy: a mixed-method study

description: Mixed methods study into the reasons physical therapists use feedback reports on the quality of care measured by quality indicators.This dataset constitutes data of three evaluation surveys, held in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Participating physical therapists in the project Qualiphy (Kwaliefy), that was meant to measure the quality of physical therapy in primary care in the Netherlands through quality indicators, were asked to evaluate the project, for example with respect to feasibility, usability of the results/feedback reports and assistance during the project. The objective of the evaluation survey was to examine whether (parts of ) the project needed to be improved and to assess whether the feedback reports were being used by participating physical therapists to improve the quality of care.This dataset does not include the raw data of the Qualiphy project, please contact the rights holder for further information.

title: Systemic complement activation levels in Stargardt disease

description: The datasets contains all raw data and edited_data used for analyses in the research "Systemic complement activation levels in Stargardt disease".ABSTRACTPurposePreclinical research provides evidence for the complement system as a potential common pathway in Stargardt disease (STGD1) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) leading to retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) loss. However, systemic activation of the complement system has not yet been assessed in STGD1 patients. We conducted a cross-sectional case-control study to assess systemic complement activation in STGD1 patients and its association with disease severity.MethodsSystemic concentrations of complement component C3 and its degradation product C3d were compared between 80 STGD1 patients and 80 controls that were frequency matched for age and sex. The C3d/C3 ratio was used as parameter of systemic complement activation. Within the STGD1 cohort, we additionally examined the association between the C3d/C3 ratio, demographic and behavioural factors (age, sex, smoking and BMI), and measures of disease severity (age at onset, visual acuity, and area of atrophy).ResultsThe C3d/C3 ratio did not significantly differ between patients (mean C3d/C3 ratio 3.5±1.4) and controls (mean C3d/C3 ratio 3.6±1.0), mean difference -0.156, p=0.804, independent samples t-test. Overall effect size was 8% (95% confidence interval, 3-15%). Systemic activation of the complement system (C3d/C3 ratio &gt; 8.1) was found in three patients and none of the controls. These three patients all had a concomitant inflammatory condition at the time of blood draw. Within the patient cohort, C3 levels were associated with sex (mean difference -134, p=0.001, independent samples t-test) and BMI (correlation coefficient 0.463, p&lt;0.001, Spearman’s Correlation), but not with any measures of disease severity, age or smoking status.ConclusionsSystemic complement activation was not elevated in STGD1 patients compared to age and sex matched controls and was not associated with STGD1 disease severity. Considering the continued absent proof of a systemic contribution of the complement system to RPE loss in STGD1 patients, we hypothesize that complement activation in STGD1 is more likely a local process. In light of upcoming complement-targeted therapies, further studies are needed that measure complement levels in the eye of STGD1 patients.

title: Drivers of dominance shifts between invasive Ponto-Caspian dreissenids Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas, 1771) and Dreissena rostriformis bugensis (Andrusov, 1897)

description: Two of the most invasive freshwater bivalve species in temperate regions worldwide are the Ponto-Caspian dreissenids Dreissena polymorpha and Dreissena rostriformis bugensis. Throughout their range, observations have been made of a dominance shift favouring D. r. bugensis where the two species co-occur. Although both dreissenids have been widely studied, the mechanisms driving this dominance shift are not completely understood. Our long-term and short-term field experiments assessed a selection of species traits related to growth and settlement, which may be linked to a competitive benefit for either of both species. We assessed relative population densities in time and space, mortality, and inter- and intraspecific interactions in relation to environmental factors like temperature, salinity, and light intensity, using 14 × 14 cm PVC settlement plates. Dreissenids were identified, counted and measured over 11 years in the waterbody where D. r. bugensis was first discovered in Western Europe. Dreissena polymorpha appeared to have a competitive benefit over D. r. bugensis by being able to settle earlier, i.e. in spring, while other studies indicate the opposite. As salinities in the study region were relatively high in spring, this discrepancy may be explained by a higher salinity tolerance of D. polymorpha, as is known from the literature. In addition, Common Coots predated D. r. bugensis clusters. Dreissena polymorpha were not usually found in such clusters. Regardless of these competitive benefits for D. polymorpha, D. r. bugensis is the dominant species in the region. One possible explanation could be the fact that D. r. bugensis was found in similar densities on both light exposed and shaded fouling plates. Dreissena polymorpha on the other hand, was practically absent on light-exposed plates after 12 months. Therefore, a wider range of habitats seems to be suitable for the settlement of D. r. bugensis. Another driver of the dominance shift can be linked to it having faster growth than D. polymorpha, especially during spring. More generally, D. r. bugensis occurred in higher population densities on plates with D. polymorpha than on plates with only D. r. bugensis. Dreissena polymorpha individuals may thus induce the settlement of additional individuals of D. r. bugensis. A final reason for the dominance of D. r. bugensis concerns its low winter mortality. While the number of D. polymorpha individuals more than halved over the winter 2016–2017, no significant decrease in numbers of D. r. bugensis was recorded.

title: Population-level responses to temperature, density and clonal differences in 'Daphnia magna' as revealed by Integral Projection Modeling

description: Data on individual survival, growth and reproduction of 'Daphnia magna' individuals, as collected during a laboratory experiment. The aim of this study was to quantify effects of temperature, genetic background and population density on the dynamics of 'Daphnia magna' populations. In this experiment, 40 populations of 'Daphnia magna', starting with 20 individuals, were followed during 80 days. Twice a week, three individuals were arbitrarily picked from each population, and isolated for three or four days in transparent tubes that were placed inside each aquarium. Results of this study have been published in ‘Population-level responses to temperature, density and clonal differences in 'Daphnia magna' as revealed by Integral Projection Modeling’ (Bruijning et al., 'Functional Ecology' 2018).

title: Take it slow

description: Over 41% of the Dutch population is overweight, a known risk factor for a range of debilitating conditions. Modifying behaviours associated with obesity, such as eating rate, or the speed at which people consume food, could reduce obesity and improve health. Eating rate is a basic determinant of appetite regulation, as people who eat more slowly feel sated earlier and eat less. Unfortunately without assistance, eating rate is difficult to modify due to its highly automatic nature. The current project examines the effectiveness of an innovative product, an augmented fork, that raises awareness of eating rate and helps people eat more slowly — in essence, a fork that vibrates when the user eats too quickly. This product unobtrusively records behaviour and provides real-time haptic feedback on individual eating rates. Moreover, the fork is paired with applications to provide users with visual information regarding their eating rates. This dataset tests the effect of this persuasive technology on eating rates in the laboratory (Study 1 from the project proposal at https://www.nwo.nl/onderzoek-en-resultaten/onderzoeksprojecten/i/37/12437.html). This dataset is used in Hermans, R. C. J.*, Hermsen, S.*, Robinson, E., Higgs, S., Mars, M., & Frost, J. H. (2017).

title: The influence of cultural attitudes to nut exposure on reported nut allergy

description: The data is from a questionnaire based project. The data was used to explore the influence of cultural effects on the exposure of nut allergens in early childhood and the subsequent relationship between the incidence of nut allergy in later life.The study was questionnaire based and was designed to investigate the relationship between the introduction of nuts in the diet during early infancy and the subsequent rates of nut allergy between Libya and the UK. This was based on the low rates of peanut allergy in the Libyan population and the cultural practice of early introduction of ground nut into the diet early in infancy. The study compared a population from Libya, Libyans in the UK and a North Eastern UK population. Our findings suggest that early introduction of nuts into the diet correlates strongly with a reduction in nut allergy and supports the increasing body of evidence that early exposure in infancy promotes tolerance.3300 anonymous questionnaires sent out to primary and secondary schools the data was collected and anonymous a database of the responses created in SPSS.1000 in Tripoli response rate of 65% (655)300 in Libyan schools in UK response rate 68% (204)2000 schools in the North East of the UK response rate 13.2% (264)

title: Dataset belonging to the manuscript entitled: Changes in heat stress tolerance in a freshwater amphipod following starvation: the role of oxygen availability, metabolic rate, heat shock proteins and energy reserves

description: This dataset contains raw data of survival (under normoxic and hypoxic conditions), metabolic rate and biochemical tests (protein, glycogen, glucose, lipid, and HSP) of fed and starved amphipods used for analyses and figures in the research described in the manuscript entitled: Changes in heat stress tolerance in a freshwater amphipod following starvation: the role of oxygen availability, metabolic rate, heat shock proteins and energy reserves. (2020) by Semsar-kazerouni, Boerrigter, and Verberk. In this paper, we examined if starvation changes patterns in heat tolerance, and if such changes can be explained from modifications in energy metabolism, energy reserves, production of heat shock proteins or susceptibility to oxygen limitation in the aquatic ectotherm Gammarus fossarum. Details about the experimental procedures are given in the Materials and Methods section of the paper. We have also included the R scripts for data analyses in this dataset. A brief description of the data files and column descriptions can be found below.

title: Data from: A Lévy expansion strategy optimizes early dune building by beach grasses

description: Data from: A Lévy expansion strategy optimizes early dune building by beach grasses. Nature CommunicationsHere, we report on the discovery that heavy-tailed random walks underlie the ability of clonally expanding plants to self-organize and dictate the formation of biogeomorphic landscapes. Using cross-Atlantic surveys, we show that congeneric beach grasses adopt distinct heavy-tailed clonal expansion strategies. Next, we demonstrate with a spatially-explicit model and a field experiment that the Lévy-type strategy of the species building the highest dunes worldwide generates a clonal network with a patch shoot organization that optimizes sand trapping efficiency.This dataset contains data of the survey in which we investigated the step size distribution of both beach grasses used in our study (Ammophila arenaria & Ammophila breviligulata). The dataset consists of images, shoot coordinates and distances between shoots (using nearest neighbour methods). In addition we included the data on nutrient levels of both soil and plant tissue taken during the survey. The survey was carried out from April to August 2017 on both the eastern US coast (North Carolina and Virginia) and the Dutch coast (Schiermonnikoog).Next to the survey data we included data of an experiment in which we measured the volume of sand and the sand trapping efficiency of various patterns of dune grass mimics. The experiment was conducted at Schiermonnikoog in the summer of 2016.
