🎯 What’s Included: - Cleaned Excel file (standardized columns, proper date format, removed duplicates/missing values) - A separate "formulas_used.txt" file listing all Excel formulas used during cleaning (e.g., TRIM, CLEAN, DATE, SUBSTITUTE, TEXTJOIN, etc.) - Columns like 'date_added' have been properly formatted into DMY structure - Multi-valued columns like 'listed_in' are split for better analysis - Null values replaced with “Unknown” for clarity - Duration field broken into numeric + unit components

🔍 Dataset Purpose: Ideal for beginners and analysts who want to: - Practice data cleaning in Excel - Explore Netflix content trends - Analyze content by type, country, genre, or date added

📁 Original Dataset Credit: The base version was originally published by Shivam Bansal on Kaggle: https://www.kaggle.com/shivamb/netflix-shows

📌 Bonus: You can find a step-by-step cleaning guide and the same dataset on GitHub as well — along with screenshots and formulas documentation.

Netflix is a popular streaming service that offers a vast catalog of movies, TV shows, and original contents. This dataset is a cleaned version of the original version which can be found here. The data consist of contents added to Netflix from 2008 to 2021. The oldest content is as old as 1925 and the newest as 2021. This dataset will be cleaned with PostgreSQL and visualized with Tableau. The purpose of this dataset is to test my data cleaning and visualization skills. The cleaned data can be found below and the Tableau dashboard can be found here .

Data Cleaning

We are going to: 1. Treat the Nulls 2. Treat the duplicates 3. Populate missing rows 4. Drop unneeded columns 5. Split columns Extra steps and more explanation on the process will be explained through the code comments

--View dataset

SELECT * 
FROM netflix;

--The show_id column is the unique id for the dataset, therefore we are going to check for duplicates
                                  
SELECT show_id, COUNT(*)                                                                                      
FROM netflix 
GROUP BY show_id                                                                                              
ORDER BY show_id DESC;

--No duplicates

--Check null values across columns

SELECT COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE show_id IS NULL) AS showid_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE type IS NULL) AS type_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE title IS NULL) AS title_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE director IS NULL) AS director_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE movie_cast IS NULL) AS movie_cast_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE country IS NULL) AS country_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE date_added IS NULL) AS date_addes_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE release_year IS NULL) AS release_year_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE rating IS NULL) AS rating_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE duration IS NULL) AS duration_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE listed_in IS NULL) AS listed_in_nulls,
    COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE description IS NULL) AS description_nulls
FROM netflix;

We can see that there are NULLS. 
director_nulls = 2634
movie_cast_nulls = 825
country_nulls = 831
date_added_nulls = 10
rating_nulls = 4
duration_nulls = 3 

The director column nulls is about 30% of the whole column, therefore I will not delete them. I will rather find another column to populate it. To populate the director column, we want to find out if there is relationship between movie_cast column and director column

-- Below, we find out if some directors are likely to work with particular cast

WITH cte AS
(
SELECT title, CONCAT(director, '---', movie_cast) AS director_cast 
FROM netflix
)

SELECT director_cast, COUNT(*) AS count
FROM cte
GROUP BY director_cast
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC;

With this, we can now populate NULL rows in directors 
using their record with movie_cast 

UPDATE netflix 
SET director = 'Alastair Fothergill'
WHERE movie_cast = 'David Attenborough'
AND director IS NULL ;

--Repeat this step to populate the rest of the director nulls
--Populate the rest of the NULL in director as "Not Given"

UPDATE netflix 
SET director = 'Not Given'
WHERE director IS NULL;

--When I was doing this, I found a less complex and faster way to populate a column which I will use next

Just like the director column, I will not delete the nulls in country. Since the country column is related to director and movie, we are going to populate the country column with the director column

--Populate the country using the director column

SELECT COALESCE(nt.country,nt2.country) 
FROM netflix AS nt
JOIN netflix AS nt2 
ON nt.director = nt2.director 
AND nt.show_id <> nt2.show_id
WHERE nt.country IS NULL;
UPDATE netflix
SET country = nt2.country
FROM netflix AS nt2
WHERE netflix.director = nt2.director and netflix.show_id <> nt2.show_id 
AND netflix.country IS NULL;


--To confirm if there are still directors linked to country that refuse to update

SELECT director, country, date_added
FROM netflix
WHERE country IS NULL;

--Populate the rest of the NULL in director as "Not Given"

UPDATE netflix 
SET country = 'Not Given'
WHERE country IS NULL;

The date_added rows nulls is just 10 out of over 8000 rows, deleting them cannot affect our analysis or visualization

--Show date_added nulls

SELECT show_id, date_added
FROM netflix_clean
WHERE date_added IS NULL;

--DELETE nulls

In the beginning, the case was just data for a company that did not indicate any useful information that would help decision-makers. In this case, I had to ask questions that could help extract and explore information that would help decision-makers improve and evaluate performance. But before that, I did some operations in the data to help me to analyze it accurately: 1- Understand the data. 2- Clean the data “By power query”. 3- insert some calculation and columns by power query. 4- Analysis to the data and Ask some Questions About Distribution What is the Number of Bikes Sold? What is the most region purchasing bikes? What is the Ave. income by gender & purchasing bikes? The Miles with Purchasing bikes? What is situation to age by purchasing & Count of bikes sold? About Consumer Behavior Home Owner by purchasing? Single or married & Age by purchasing? Having cars by purchasing? Education By purchasing? Occupation By purchasing?

And I notice the Most Situations Purchasing Bikes is: - North America “Region”. - Commute Distance 0-1 Miles. - The people who are in the middle age and single "169 Bikes". - People that having Bachelor's degree. - The Males who have the average income 60,124$. - People that having Professional occupation. - Home owners “325 Bikes”. - People who having 0 or 1 car. So, I Advise The give those slices more offers to increase the sell value.

Abstract

The main objectives of the survey were: - To obtain weights for the revision of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for Funafuti; - To provide information on the nature and distribution of household income, expenditure and food consumption patterns; - To provide data on the household sector's contribution to the National Accounts - To provide information on economic activity of men and women to study gender issues - To undertake some poverty analysis

Geographic coverage

National, including Funafuti and Outer islands

Analysis unit

• Household
• individual

Universe

All the private household are included in the sampling frame. In each household selected, the current resident are surveyed, and people who are usual resident but are currently away (work, health, holydays reasons, or border student for example. If the household had been residing in Tuvalu for less than one year: - but intend to reside more than 12 months => The household is included - do not intend to reside more than 12 months => out of scope

Kind of data

Sample survey data [ssd]

Sampling procedure

It was decided that 33% (one third) sample was sufficient to achieve suitable levels of accuracy for key estimates in the survey. So the sample selection was spread proportionally across all the island except Niulakita as it was considered too small. For selection purposes, each island was treated as a separate stratum and independent samples were selected from each. The strategy used was to list each dwelling on the island by their geographical position and run a systematic skip through the list to achieve the 33% sample. This approach assured that the sample would be spread out across each island as much as possible and thus more representative.

For details please refer to Table 1.1 of the Report.

Sampling deviation

Only the island of Niulakita was not included in the sampling frame, considered too small.

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

There were three main survey forms used to collect data for the survey. Each question are writen in English and translated in Tuvaluan on the same version of the questionnaire. The questionnaires were designed based on the 2004 survey questionnaire.

HOUSEHOLD FORM - composition of the household and demographic profile of each members - dwelling information - dwelling expenditure - transport expenditure - education expenditure - health expenditure - land and property expenditure - household furnishing - home appliances - cultural and social payments - holydays/travel costs - Loans and saving - clothing - other major expenditure items

INDIVIDUAL FORM - health and education - labor force (individu aged 15 and above) - employment activity and income (individu aged 15 and above): wages and salaries, working own business, agriculture and livestock, fishing, income from handicraft, income from gambling, small scale activies, jobs in the last 12 months, other income, childreen income, tobacco and alcohol use, other activities, and seafarer

DIARY (one diary per week, on a 2 weeks period, 2 diaries per household were required) - All kind of expenses - Home production - food and drink (eaten by the household, given away, sold) - Goods taken from own business (consumed, given away) - Monetary gift (given away, received, winning from gambling) - Non monetary gift (given away, received, winning from gambling)

Questionnaire Design Flaws Questionnaire design flaws address any problems with the way questions were worded which will result in an incorrect answer provided by the respondent. Despite every effort to minimize this problem during the design of the respective survey questionnaires and the diaries, problems were still identified during the analysis of the data. Some examples are provided below:

Gifts, Remittances & Donations Collecting information on the following: - the receipt and provision of gifts - the receipt and provision of remittances - the provision of donations to the church, other communities and family occasions is a very difficult task in a HIES. The extent of these activities in Tuvalu is very high, so every effort should be made to address these activities as best as possible. A key problem lies in identifying the best form (questionnaire or diary) for covering such activities. A general rule of thumb for a HIES is that if the activity occurs on a regular basis, and involves the exchange of small monetary amounts or in-kind gifts, the diary is more appropriate. On the other hand, if the activity is less infrequent, and involves larger sums of money, the questionnaire with a recall approach is preferred. It is not always easy to distinguish between the two for the different activities, and as such, both the diary and questionnaire were used to collect this information. Unfortunately it probably wasn?t made clear enough as to what types of transactions were being collected from the different sources, and as such some transactions might have been missed, and others counted twice. The effects of these problems are hopefully minimal overall.

Defining Remittances Because people have different interpretations of what constitutes remittances, the questionnaire needs to be very clear as to how this concept is defined in the survey. Unfortunately this wasn?t explained clearly enough so it was difficult to distinguish between a remittance, which should be of a more regular nature, and a one-off monetary gift which was transferred between two households.

Business Expenses Still Recorded The aim of the survey is to measure "household" expenditure, and as such, any expenditure made by a household for an item or service which was primarily used for a business activity should be excluded. It was not always clear in the questionnaire that this was the case, and as such some business expenses were included. Efforts were made during data cleaning to remove any such business expenses which would impact significantly on survey results.

Purchased goods given away as a gift When a household makes a gift donation of an item it has purchased, this is recorded in section 5 of the diary. Unfortunately it was difficult to know how to treat these items as it was not clear as to whether this item had been recorded already in section 1 of the diary which covers purchases. The decision was made to exclude all information of gifts given which were considered to be purchases, as these items were assumed to have already been recorded already in section 1. Ideally these items should be treated as a purchased gift given away, which in turn is not household consumption expenditure, but this was not possible.

Some key items missed in the Questionnaire Although not a big issue, some key expenditure items were omitted from the questionnaire when it would have been best to collect them via this schedule. A key example being electric fans which many households in Tuvalu own.

Cleaning operations

Consistency of the data: - each questionnaire was checked by the supervisor during and after the collection - before data entry, all the questionnaire were coded - the CSPRo data entry system included inconsistency checks which allow the NSO staff to point some errors and to correct them with imputation estimation from their own knowledge (no time for double entry), 4 data entry operators. - after data entry, outliers were identified in order to check their consistency.

All data entry, including editing, edit checks and queries, was done using CSPro (Census Survey Processing System) with additional data editing and cleaning taking place in Excel.

The staff from the CSD was responsible for undertaking the coding and data entry, with assistance from an additional four temporary staff to help produce results in a more timely manner.

Although enumeration didn't get completed until mid June, the coding and data entry commenced as soon as forms where available from Funafuti, which was towards the end of March. The coding and data entry was then completed around the middle of July.

A visit from an SPC consultant then took place to undertake initial cleaning of the data, primarily addressing missing data items and missing schedules. Once the initial data cleaning was undertaken in CSPro, data was transferred to Excel where it was closely scrutinized to check that all responses were sensible. In the cases where unusual values were identified, original forms were consulted for these households and modifications made to the data if required.

Despite the best efforts being made to clean the data file in preparation for the analysis, no doubt errors will still exist in the data, due to its size and complexity. Having said this, they are not expected to have significant impacts on the survey results.

Under-Reporting and Incorrect Reporting as a result of Poor Field Work Procedures The most crucial stage of any survey activity, whether it be a population census or a survey such as a HIES is the fieldwork. It is crucial for intense checking to take place in the field before survey forms are returned to the office for data processing. Unfortunately, it became evident during the cleaning of the data that fieldwork wasn?t checked as thoroughly as required, and as such some unexpected values appeared in the questionnaires, as well as unusual results appearing in the diaries. Efforts were made to indentify the main issues which would have the greatest impact on final results, and this information was modified using local knowledge, to a more reasonable answer, when required.

Data Entry Errors Data entry errors are always expected, but can be kept to a minimum with

Spatial analysis and statistical summaries of the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) provide land managers and decision makers with a general assessment of management intent for biodiversity protection, natural resource management, and recreation access across the nation. The PAD-US 3.0 Combined Fee, Designation, Easement feature class (with Military Lands and Tribal Areas from the Proclamation and Other Planning Boundaries feature class) was modified to remove overlaps, avoiding overestimation in protected area statistics and to support user needs. A Python scripted process ("PADUS3_0_CreateVectorAnalysisFileScript.zip") associated with this data release prioritized overlapping designations (e.g. Wilderness within a National Forest) based upon their relative biodiversity conservation status (e.g. GAP Status Code 1 over 2), public access values (in the order of Closed, Restricted, Open, Unknown), and geodatabase load order (records are deliberately organized in the PAD-US full inventory with fee owned lands loaded before overlapping management designations, and easements). The Vector Analysis File ("PADUS3_0VectorAnalysisFile_ClipCensus.zip") associated item of PAD-US 3.0 Spatial Analysis and Statistics ( https://doi.org/10.5066/P9KLBB5D ) was clipped to the Census state boundary file to define the extent and serve as a common denominator for statistical summaries. Boundaries of interest to stakeholders (State, Department of the Interior Region, Congressional District, County, EcoRegions I-IV, Urban Areas, Landscape Conservation Cooperative) were incorporated into separate geodatabase feature classes to support various data summaries ("PADUS3_0VectorAnalysisFileOtherExtents_Clip_Census.zip") and Comma-separated Value (CSV) tables ("PADUS3_0SummaryStatistics_TabularData_CSV.zip") summarizing "PADUS3_0VectorAnalysisFileOtherExtents_Clip_Census.zip" are provided as an alternative format and enable users to explore and download summary statistics of interest (Comma-separated Table [CSV], Microsoft Excel Workbook [.XLSX], Portable Document Format [.PDF] Report) from the PAD-US Lands and Inland Water Statistics Dashboard ( https://www.usgs.gov/programs/gap-analysis-project/science/pad-us-statistics ). In addition, a "flattened" version of the PAD-US 3.0 combined file without other extent boundaries ("PADUS3_0VectorAnalysisFile_ClipCensus.zip") allow for other applications that require a representation of overall protection status without overlapping designation boundaries. The "PADUS3_0VectorAnalysis_State_Clip_CENSUS2020" feature class ("PADUS3_0VectorAnalysisFileOtherExtents_Clip_Census.gdb") is the source of the PAD-US 3.0 raster files (associated item of PAD-US 3.0 Spatial Analysis and Statistics, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9KLBB5D ). Note, the PAD-US inventory is now considered functionally complete with the vast majority of land protection types represented in some manner, while work continues to maintain updates and improve data quality (see inventory completeness estimates at: http://www.protectedlands.net/data-stewards/ ). In addition, changes in protected area status between versions of the PAD-US may be attributed to improving the completeness and accuracy of the spatial data more than actual management actions or new acquisitions. USGS provides no legal warranty for the use of this data. While PAD-US is the official aggregation of protected areas ( https://www.fgdc.gov/ngda-reports/NGDA_Datasets.html ), agencies are the best source of their lands data.

The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) provides data and have considerable potential to study the health and environmental exposure of the non-institutionalized US population. However, as NHANES data are plagued with multiple inconsistencies, processing these data is required before deriving new insights through large-scale analyses. Thus, we developed a set of curated and unified datasets by merging 614 separate files and harmonizing unrestricted data across NHANES III (1988-1994) and Continuous (1999-2018), totaling 135,310 participants and 5,078 variables. The variables conveydemographics (281 variables),dietary consumption (324 variables),physiological functions (1,040 variables),occupation (61 variables),questionnaires (1444 variables, e.g., physical activity, medical conditions, diabetes, reproductive health, blood pressure and cholesterol, early childhood),medications (29 variables),mortality information linked from the National Death Index (15 variables),survey weights (857 variables),environmental exposure biomarker measurements (598 variables), andchemical comments indicating which measurements are below or above the lower limit of detection (505 variables).csv Data Record: The curated NHANES datasets and the data dictionaries includes 23 .csv files and 1 excel file.The curated NHANES datasets involves 20 .csv formatted files, two for each module with one as the uncleaned version and the other as the cleaned version. The modules are labeled as the following: 1) mortality, 2) dietary, 3) demographics, 4) response, 5) medications, 6) questionnaire, 7) chemicals, 8) occupation, 9) weights, and 10) comments."dictionary_nhanes.csv" is a dictionary that lists the variable name, description, module, category, units, CAS Number, comment use, chemical family, chemical family shortened, number of measurements, and cycles available for all 5,078 variables in NHANES."dictionary_harmonized_categories.csv" contains the harmonized categories for the categorical variables.“dictionary_drug_codes.csv” contains the dictionary for descriptors on the drugs codes.“nhanes_inconsistencies_documentation.xlsx” is an excel file that contains the cleaning documentation, which records all the inconsistencies for all affected variables to help curate each of the NHANES modules.R Data Record: For researchers who want to conduct their analysis in the R programming language, only cleaned NHANES modules and the data dictionaries can be downloaded as a .zip file which include an .RData file and an .R file.“w - nhanes_1988_2018.RData” contains all the aforementioned datasets as R data objects. We make available all R scripts on customized functions that were written to curate the data.“m - nhanes_1988_2018.R” shows how we used the customized functions (i.e. our pipeline) to curate the original NHANES data.Example starter codes: The set of starter code to help users conduct exposome analysis consists of four R markdown files (.Rmd).

Abstract

A Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices (KAP) survey was conducted in Ajuong Thok and Pamir Refugee Camps in October 2019 to determine the current Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) conditions as well as hygiene attitudes and practices within the households (HHs) surveyed. The assessment utilized a systematic random sampling method, and a total of 1,474 HHs (735 HHs in Ajuong Thok and 739 HHs in Pamir) were surveyed using mobile data collection (MDC) within a period of 21 days. Data was cleaned and analyzed in Excel. The summary of the results is presented in this report.

The findings show that the overall average number of liters of water per person per day was 23.4, in both Ajuong Thok and Pamir Camps, which was slightly higher than the recommended United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) minimum standard of at least 20 liters of water available per person per day. This is a slight improvement from the 21 liters reported the previous year. The average HH size was six people. Women comprised 83% of the surveyed respondents and males 17%. Almost all the respondents were refugees, constituting 99.5% (n=1,466). The refugees were aware of the key health and hygiene practices, possibly as a result of routine health and hygiene messages delivered to them by Samaritan´s Purse (SP) and other health partners. Most refugees had knowledge about keeping the water containers clean, washing hands during critical times, safe excreta disposal and disease prevention.

Sampling procedure

Households were selected using systematic random sampling. Enumerators systematically walked through the camp block by block, row by row, in such a way as to pass each HH. Within blocks, enumerators started at one corner, then systematically used the sampling interval as they walked up and down each of the rows throughout the block, covering every block in Ajuong Thok and Pamir.

In each location, the first HH sampled in a block was generated using an Excel tool customized by UNHCR which generated a Random Start and Sampling Interval.

Research instrument

The survey questionnaire used to collect the data consists of the following sections: - Demographics - Water collection and storage - Drinking water hygiene - Hygiene - Sanitation - Messaging - Distribution (NFI) - Diarrhea prevalence, knowledge and health seeking behaviour - Menstrual hygiene

Cleaning operations

The data collected was uploaded to a server at the end of each day. IFormBuilder generated a Microsoft (MS) Excel spreadsheet dataset which was then cleaned and analyzed using MS Excel.

Given that SP is currently implementing a WASH program in Ajuong Thok and Pamir, the assessment data collected in these camps will not only serve as the endline for UNHCR 2018 programming but also as the baseline for 2019 programming.

Data was anonymized through decoding and local suppression.

Over the last 20 years, statistics preparation has become vital for a broad range of scientific fields, and statistics coursework has been readily incorporated into undergraduate and graduate programs. However, a gap remains between the computational skills taught in statistics service courses and those required for the use of statistics in scientific research. Ten years after the publication of "Computing in the Statistics Curriculum,'' the nature of statistics continues to change, and computing skills are more necessary than ever for modern scientific researchers. In this paper, we describe research on the design and implementation of a suite of data science workshops for environmental science graduate students, providing students with the skills necessary to retrieve, view, wrangle, visualize, and analyze their data using reproducible tools. These workshops help to bridge the gap between the computing skills necessary for scientific research and the computing skills with which students leave their statistics service courses. Moreover, though targeted to environmental science graduate students, these workshops are open to the larger academic community. As such, they promote the continued learning of the computational tools necessary for working with data, and provide resources for incorporating data science into the classroom.

Methods Surveys from Carpentries style workshops the results of which are presented in the accompanying manuscript.

Pre- and post-workshop surveys for each workshop (Introduction to R, Intermediate R, Data Wrangling in R, Data Visualization in R) were collected via Google Form.

The surveys administered for the fall 2018, spring 2019 academic year are included as pre_workshop_survey and post_workshop_assessment PDF files. 
The raw versions of these data are included in the Excel files ending in survey_raw or assessment_raw.

  The data files whose name includes survey contain raw data from pre-workshop surveys and the data files whose name includes assessment contain raw data from the post-workshop assessment survey.


The annotated RMarkdown files used to clean the pre-workshop surveys and post-workshop assessments are included as workshop_survey_cleaning and workshop_assessment_cleaning, respectively.

Spatial analysis and statistical summaries of the Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) provide land managers and decision makers with a general assessment of management intent for biodiversity protection, natural resource management, and recreation access across the nation. This data release presents results from statistical summaries of the PAD-US 2.1 protection status for various land unit boundaries (Protected Areas Database of the United States (PAD-US) Summary Statistics by GAP Status Code) as well as summaries of public access status (Public Access Statistics), provided in Microsoft Excel readable workbooks, the vector GIS analysis files and scripts used to complete the summaries, and raster GIS analysis files for combination with other raster data. The PAD-US 2.1 Combined Fee, Designation, Easement feature class in the full inventory (with Military Lands and Tribal Areas from the Proclamation and Other Planning Boundaries feature class) was modified to prioritize and remove overlapping management designations, limiting overestimation in protection status or public access statistics and to support user needs for vector and raster analysis data. Analysis files were clipped to the Census State boundary file to define the extent and fill in areas (largely private land) outside the PAD-US, providing a common denominator for statistical summaries.

Habitat loss and fragmentation are one of the biggest threats facing wildlife today. Understanding the role of wildlife pathways in connecting resource areas is key to maintain landscape connectivity, reduce the impacts of habitat loss and help address human-wildlife conflict. In this study, we used sign surveys and camera trapping to understand the fine scale movement of elephants moving between a protected area and agricultural zone in the Masai Mara, Kenya. We used Generalised Linear Models to determine factors driving high frequency of pathway use by elephants. Our results showed strong seasonal trends in pathway use, with peaks coinciding with the dry season. However, no correlations between rainfall and pathway use were found. Temporal patterns of pathway use indicate that elephants use risk avoidance strategies by moving between the two areas at times of low human disturbance. Spatial analysis revealed that the most frequently used pathways were closer to farms, saltlicks and for..., We identified active pathways along the escarpment with the assistance of local rangers and farmers (Figure 2). We assumed pathways were in use if the path was devoid of vegetation (Blake and Inkamba-Nkulu, 2004), marked with elephant dung or footprints and showed signs of elephant browsing on the bordering vegetation (Von Gerhardt et al., 2014). Pathways that did not show any of these signs were not included in this study. We then mapped each pathway using a Garmin Etrek30 Global Positioning System (GPS). The GPS track was taken from the bottom of the escarpment on the border of the Masai Mara to the top of the escarpment. The end of the pathway was determined by the point at which the pathway widened and became open habitat. Habitat type was also recorded on each pathway using a classification system from Kindt et al., (2011). As each pathway went through a number of different habitats, we used a GPS to record the co-ordinate at which there was a change in habitat type. To determine s..., , # Elephant pathway use in a human-dominated landscape

Data includes the final clean Excel sheets containing all the variable data that was imported into R for analysis. This data was used for Spearman’s Rank Correlation tests, a linear model and descriptive statistics.

Description of the data and file structure

The files 'SURVEY A_results' and 'SURVEY B_results' are Excel spreadsheets with a summary of the camera trap images from the pathways. Each row is one camera trap image with the processed data of the date, time, photo label, elephant group type, number of elephants and whether the elephants were traveling up or down the pathway.

The file 'Data_Analysis_1' is an Excel spreadsheet that has all the data used in the papers models. This dataset has the different pathway use variables that were tested. For example, distance to farmland, slope etc.Â

The file 'conflict' is an Excel spreadsheet wit...

This study explores the multifaceted meanings of food and how they vary across the United States, China, and India. The research examines self-identity, social, and cultural dimensions of food and measures them using the FOODSCAPE scale. An online survey was used to gather data and MANCOVA analysis found that meanings associated with food vary between countries but many patterns emerged. We have deposited clean data in SPSS format, an Excel table mapping the survey questions to the SPSS variables, and the methodology section of the paper.

The data sets provide an overview of selected data on waterworks registered with the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. The information has been reported by the waterworks through application processing or other reporting to the Norwegian Food Safety Authority. Drinking water regulations require, among other things, annual reporting. The Norwegian Food Safety Authority has created a separate form service for such reporting. The data sets include public or private waterworks that supply 50 people or more. In addition, all municipal owned businesses with their own water supply are included regardless of size. The data sets also contain decommissioned facilities. This is done for those who wish to view historical data, i.e. data for previous years or earlier. There are data sets for the following supervisory objects: 1. Water supply system. It also includes analysis of drinking water. 2. Transport system 3. Treatment facility 4. Entry point. It also includes analysis of the water source. Below you will find data sets for the 1st water supply system_analysis. In addition, there is a file (information.txt) that provides an overview of when the extracts were produced and how many lines there are in the individual files. The withdrawals are done weekly. Furthermore, for the data sets water supply system, transport system and intake point it is possible to see historical data on what is included in the annual reporting. To make use of that information, the file must be linked to the “moder” file. to get names and other static information. These files have the _reporting ending in the file name. Description of the data fields (i.e. metadata) in the individual data sets appears in separate files. These are available in pdf format. If you double-click the csv file and it opens directly in excel, then you will not get the æøå. To see the character set correctly in Excel, you must: & start Excel and a new spreadsheet & select data and then from text, press Import & select separator data and file origin 65001: Unicode (UTF-8) and tick of My Data have headings and press Next & remove tab as separator and select semicolon as separator, press next & otherwise, complete the data sets can be imported into a separate database and compiled as desired. There are link keys in the files that make it possible to link the files together. The waterworks are responsible for the quality of the datasets. — Purpose: Make information on the supply of drinking water available to the public.

Survey data from the Australian Marine Debris Initiative and the result of spatial analysis from multiple creative commons datasets. Data consists of: • Spatial Data Queensland Coastline – Event summaries within an Excel data table and shapefile • All years • Number of Items removed, Weight volunteers, Volume, Distance, Latitude and Longitude. • Contributing organisation files table/ sites • Environmental, physical and biological variables associated with the closest catchment to each debris survey. TBF has made all reasonable efforts to ensure that the information in the Custom Dataset is accurate. TBF will not be held responsible: • for the way these data are used by the Entity for their Reports; • for any errors that may be contained in the Custom Dataset; or • any direct or indirect damage the use of the Custom Dataset may cause. Data collected by TBF comes from citizen science initiatives and is taken at face value from contributors with each entry being vetted and periodic checks being made to maintain the integrity of the overall dataset. Some clean-up data has been extrapolated by data collectors. Some weight and distance details have not been provided by contributors. The data was collected by various organisations and individuals in clean-up events at their chosen locations where man-made items greater than 5mm were removed from the beach, and sorted, counted and recorded on data sheets, using CyberTracker software devices or the AMDI mobile application. Items were identified according to the method laid out in the TBF Marine Debris Identification Manual in which items are grouped according to their material categories (the manual is available on the TBF website). The length of beach cleaned is at the discretion of the clean-up group and the total weight of items removed is either weighed with handheld scales or estimated.
