Ready biodegradability data of ionic liquids, OECD 301D (Closed Bottle Test), 2024, V1
Amsel, Ann-Kathrin; Olsson, Oliver; Kümmerer, Klaus
2024|Data Collection:INSC - Biodegradability|DOI: 10.48548/pubdata-151

The data set contains biodegradability data according to OECD 301D (Closed Bottle Test) for ionic liquids. Two data sources were used to compile OECD 301D data: (a) data from the Leuphana Institute of Sustainable Chemistry (INSC) in-house biodegradation experiments and (b) literature data. The literature data and the INSC in-house data was combined. Two data sets were compiled: set IL contains just ionic liquids and set ILNI contains ionic liquids and non-ionic compounds. Duplicates were combined to one ionic liquid by calculating the mean biodegradation rate. Negative biodegradation rates were zeroed. In case several tests per substance were conducted, the mean value was calculated. The biodegradability data was classified in red: 0–19%, amber: 20–59%, green: ≥60%.

Experimental data on ready biodegradability, OECD 301D (Closed Bottle Test), 2023, V1
Olsson, Oliver; Logunova, Evgenia; Suk, Morten; Kümmerer, Klaus
2024|Data Collection:INSC - Biodegradability|DOI: 10.48548/pubdata-77

Closed Bottle Test (CBT) is a simple test to evaluate the ready biodegradability of an organic compound in the environment. It was performed according to the OECD test guidelines (OECD, 1992) using a low bacterial density (2 drops STP effluent/L), low nutrient content, and at room temperature (20 ± 1 °C) in the dark. The test system consisted of four different series, each series run in parallel. The readily biodegradable sodium acetate and the test substance used in the test were adjusted to a concentration corresponding to 5 mg L−1 theoretical oxygen demand without nitrification (ThODNH3). All test bottles were inoculated with an aliquot from the effluent of the municipal sewage treatment plant (STP) in AGL Lüneburg, Germany (144,000 inhabitant equivalents). Throughout the test, the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) was monitored by measuring the dissolved oxygen concentration. A test compound is classified as “readily biodegradable” if biodegradation, expressed as a percentage of oxygen consumed in the test bottle, exceeds 60% within a period of 10 days after the oxygen consumption reached 10% ThOD. Toxicity was assessed by comparing oxygen consumption, as measured in the toxicity controls, with the predicted level calculated based on the oxygen consumption in the quality control and in the test bottles, respectively. Toxicity controls allow for the recognition of false negative results caused by the toxicity of the test compound against the degrading bacteria. --- Validity criteria (all must be fulfilled): (1) The difference of the double determination on day 28 must not be more than 20%. (2) The toxicity control must not be less than 25% degraded on day 14. (3) The oxygen consumption of the blank must be less than 1.5 mg/l on day 28. (4) The oxygen concentration of the test preparations must not be less than 0.5 mg/l. (5) The quality control must be 60% degraded on day 14. --- The data set includes for each tested substance: the smilescode, the biodegradation rate in % of the two test runs, the mean value of these two test results as a basis for the classification easily biodegradable, yes (1) or no (0).

Carabid beetles of old beech forests - repeated sampling 1999-2001 and 2020-2022
Weiss, Fabio; Winter, Susanne; Pflugmacher, Dirk; Kolling, Thomas; Linde, Andreas
2024|Data Collection:Daten PhD Weiss|DOI: 10.48548/pubdata-118

This dataset compiles data investigating carabid beetles sampled from 1999 until 2001 and again from 2020 until 2022 at the same locations with identical methods. Sampling was conducted using pitfall traps. The traps consisted of a 400 ml honey jar featuring an extended PVC rim plate. They were placed in a piece of PVC pipe and covered with a metal roof. Each trap contained 200 ml of trapping fluid (50% solution of monoethylene glycol and water). From 2020 until 2022, the researchers located the exact trap locations (with a tolerance of <2 m) using the GPS locations and tree survey maps. In all years, sampling was conducted from mid-April to early November. The pitfall traps were emptied fortnightly, yielding 15 samples per trap and sampling year. Subsequently, the carabid beetles were determined to the species level according to Müller-Motzfeld (2004) by Thomas Kolling and Dirk Pflugmacher in 1999-2001 and by Fabio Weiss and Thomas Kolling in 2020-2022. The eleven study sites of this study were chosen as representative selection of managed and unmanaged beech forests of old stand age and comparable environmental site conditions. Two of the sites (Serrahn and Grumsin) have been declared UNESCO World Heritage Sites as part of the "Ancient and Primeval Beech Forests of the Carpathians and Other Regions of Europe"; two others (Heilige Hallen and Fauler Ort) represent the oldest known lowland beech forests without timber use in Germany. The majority of the sites (seven, including Grumsin) are part of the Schorfheide-Chorin Biosphere Reserve, while Serrahn is part of the Müritz National Park.

Eberswalde Carabid Monitoring 1999-2022 - Full Data
Linde, Andreas; Kolling, Thomas; Weiss, Fabio
2023|Data Collection:Daten PhD Weiss|DOI: 10.48548/pubdata-46

Eberswalde University for Sustainable Development has been sampling carabid beetles at different forest plots in the course of annually taught classes since 1995. From 1999 on, this has been done with highly standardized methods. Ground beetles were caught from 1999 to 2022, between the beginning of May and the end of July each year, on 13 forest plots at a forest area close to Eberswalde, Germany (52.820000, 13.790000). Not all plots were sampled each year and the researchers only included data from plots, which were sampled in three years or more. They used pitfall traps consisting of a 400ml glass jars positioned in a piece of PVC pipe, formaldehyde as trapping fluid and metal roofs. There were four pitfall traps at each plot, organised as either square or transect with approximately 20 meters between the traps. The layout of traps (square or transect) remained consistent for each plot throughout all sampled years. During the sampling period the traps were emptied three times, usually after four weeks (28 days), however, the exact sampling length occasionally varied. All data from traps that had been disturbed by factors such as rain, wild animals or vandalism were excluded. Carabid abundances are provided in full taxonomic resolution (species level).

2023|Data Collection:Competencies for Digitally-enhanced Individualized Practice (CODIP) 2020-2023|DOI: 10.48548/pubdata-24.3

Dieser Datensatz wurde aus öffentlich zugänglichen Dokumenten der 14 niedersächsischen Hochschulen zusammengestellt, die Lehramtsstudiengänge, erziehungswissenschaftliche oder bildungswissenschaftliche Studiengänge anbieten, mit dem Ziel zu untersuchen, wie weit an niedersächsischen Hochschulen als Open Educational Practices (OEP) klassifizierbare Bildungspraktiken in Hochschulstrategien verbreitet sind und wie die Hochschulen über OEP berichten. Im ersten Schritt wurde, mit Blick auf die Ausprägung einer möglichen OEP-Kultur/OER-Kultur an einer Hochschule, Digitalisierung als ein zentraler Rahmen einer den "Open"-Prinzipien verschriebenen Bildungskultur aufgefasst. Entsprechend wurden Strategiepapiere und Policy-Dokumente primär dann ausgewählt, wenn sie die Digitalisierung an der jeweiligen Hochschule thematisieren, sofern sie sich nicht bereits explizit auf Lehre und Bildungspraxis beziehen. Zweitens wurden frei verfügbare Dokumente von lehrbezogenen Serviceeinrichtungen der Hochschulen in den Datensatz mitaufgenommen, wenn diese relevante Bildungspraktiken thematisieren (z.B. Empfehlungen für Lehr-Lern-Szenarien). Drittens, zur Identifizierung weiterer relevanter Dokumente, wurde die Suchfunktion auf den Hochschulwebseiten genutzt. Mittels Verwendung der Suchbegriffe "open education", "open educational", "OEP" und "OER" wurden Inhalte von Forschungsprojekten und Entwicklungsprojekten sowie Instituten und anderen Einrichtungen gefunden.
