This dataset documents the illness types, illness beliefs, help-seeking methods, and healthcare facilitators for 201 Orang Asli (Indigenous people in Malaysia) in Malaysia.

This dataset is for BoSL MAD-AS related design file and program. It contains MAD-AS 3D printing file, bills of materials, parts design file and software program.

Environmental monitoring of microorganisms is critical for the protection and enhancement of human and ecosystem health. Even though these molecular methods have overtaken traditional culture-based methods and become more accessible, these techniques still require expensive equipment and dedicated facilities to process samples which in the context of a global pandemic, remote sampling areas or low-income countries can be extremely challenging. Sample preparation and sample homogenisation are critical steps for molecular-based techniques, especially for the extraction of DNA and RNA. This study developed a low-cost, open-source, freely available 3D printed homogenizer for the processing of DNA and RNA extraction. The BoSL Beater 3D is a portable device that allows researcher to perform bead-beating steps commonly required for environmental sample extraction protocols in the field and without access to main’s power. The BoSL Beater 3D was tested on filtered wastewater samples and passive samplers exposed to wastewater over a 24-hour period and showed similar or better performance to the traditional laboratory bead beater for both the extraction of DNA and RNA. The cost of this 3D homogeniser is roughly $18 AUD ($296 AUD with the jigsaw, which is roughly 57 times cheaper than a traditional bead beater) and has the added usability of being portable and easily adaptable to any type of jigsaw. In combination to newly developed field extraction kits as well as portable PCR machines, this 3D homogeniser could provide the tool necessary to enable access to molecular testing in remote setting as well as developing countries, which may not have access to fully equipped laboratories, but also allow for timely reporting. In addition, the BoSL Beater 3D, in combination with field extraction kit, can allow more flexibility to researchers while sampling, shipping, and processing DNA and RNA samples, whilst maintaining quality of these samples.

Supplementary data for article:

A compilation of existing cosmogenic nuclide data from the Dronning Maud Land sector of East Antarctica. A compilation of existing Antarctic springtail records from the Dronning Maud Land sector of East Antarctica.

The reported raw data are about i) characterization of gold nanorods and ii) hyperthermia experiments carried out in the absence and presence of GNRs as well as well as in the absence and presence of bladder tumor. These data can be used together with those summarized in the supplementary Table S1 and S2 present in the manuscript.

The supplementary material contains data used for the publication "Relationships between individual animal variation in dry matter intake and animal performance and feed efficiency" (DOI: 10.15232/aas.2024-02583). This manuscript presents associations between animal variation in dry matter intake with growth performance, feed efficiency indexes, and carcass characteristics.
