Software-based decision support tools used in the sanitation sector

This dataset includes data used in a scoping review on how decision support tools used in the sanitation sector address resource recovery considerations. The dataset is an accompaniment to the publication "A review of how decision support tools address resource recovery in sanitation systems", which was submitted to the Journal of Cleaner Production.

Events Dataset for Image Sanitization.

Overview Datasets introduced in "Semi-Supervised Feature Embedding for Data Sanitization in Real-World Events" It includes the links for the images that consists the five datasets.   NotreDame: Remarkable partial destruction of the Parisian Cathedral by a fire in 2019. Grenfell: 2017 tragic fire incident in the Grenfell Tower in London. NationalMuseum: Total destruction of the National Museum in Brazil by flames in 2018. BangladeshFire: Fast-moving fire in a district in Dakha, that took place in 2019. BostonMarathon: 2013 terrorist attack on the traditional Bostonian event.   Observations: - We did not publish the links for the positive images for Grenfell dataset due to copyrights reasons. - BostonMarathon and Grenfell negative sets are pictures from Flickr100k dataset - Since BostonMarathon positive samples contains frames from Youtube videos, we published the Youtube video URL and the number of the frame that was extracted. - BostonMarathon positive sample contains augmentation, that are crops which size is half of the original image. In this sense, columns i and j indicates the upper-left pixel of the crop. For instance, if the image is a x b, the crop will be the square between the points: j x i; (j + a/2) x i; j x (i + b/2); and (j + a/2) x (i + b/2).   Media Content Due to the terms of use from the social networks, we do not make publicly available the texts, images and videos that were collected (only the links). However, we can provide some extra piece of media content related to one (or more) events by contacting the authors.   Funding DéjàVu thematic project, São Paulo Research Foundation (2017/12646-3, 2018/05668-3, and 2020/02241-9)

Data for: Generation of sanitation system options for urban planning considering novel technologies

This data has been used (1) to quantify the appropriateness of a set of sanitation technologies for a small town (Katarnyia) in Nepal and (2) to generate sanitation system options from the appropriate technologies as an input into strategic sanitation planning using a structured decision making process. For (1), the appropriateness is quantified based on a set of criteria, also called screening criteria. These criteria include technical, socio-demographic, climatic, and institutional aspects and are quantified using uncertainty functions in order to account for the quality and quantity of available input information. The data contains raw data as well as modelling results. The raw data is a compilation of information collected from literature, information collected through a household survey in the small town, field observations. They are all used to describe the screening criteria for the studied sanitation technologies and the small town. Results include: (1) the outcome of the technology appropriateness assessment (technology appropriateness scores); and (2) the sanitation system options (all possible sanitation systems built from the appropriate technologies, and a smaller set of divers and highly appropriate sanitation system options as an input into decision-making).

Sanitation Poverty: a multidimensional measure

This file provides the primary data (database file, in *csv) and achieved results (results file, in *csv) published in the paper "Monitoring and Targeting the Sanitation Poor: A Multidimensional Approach", Natural Resources Forum, 2018 (under review). The paper discusses the adequacy and applicability of one approach that is increasingly adopted for multidimensional poverty measurement at the household level, the Alkire-Foster methodology. Drawing on this method, we identify and combine a set of direct household-related water and sanitation deprivations that a person experiences at the same time. This new multidimensional measure is useful for gaining a better understanding of the context in which WaSH services are delivered. It captures both the incidence and intensity of WaSH poverty, and provides a new tool to support monitoring and reporting, as well as targeting and planning. For illustrative purposes, one small town in Mozambique is selected as the initial case study.

Comparative analysis of surface sanitization protocols on the bacterial community structures in the hospital environment

In this study, we used 16S rRNA gene sequencing approaches to characterize the bacterial microbiota on different surfaces of the hospital environment. The longitudinal data was then subjected to comprehensive comparisons between different sanitation strategies (disinfectants, detergents and probiotics) to measure their potential effect on the microbial community structures in the hospital environment. This archive contains results and data of the 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing performed on 1019 environmental and 271 patient DNA samples collected over the time course of 40 weeks in a newly opened ward in the neurological station at the Charité Hospital (Berlin). The files include a study information and sample metadata sheets, BIOM-tables and information about the taxonomy results and diversity metrics.

washopenresearch: Dataset about open research data information in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene

The goal of washopenresearch is to provide an overview of open research data related to Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH). The package provides access to two datasets `washdev` and `uncnewsletter`. Each dataset collects information on scientific articles about (1) article metadata (e.g. title, first author, correspondence author), (2) supplementary material information, (3) data availability statement, and (4) semantic information (e.g. keywords).

Everyday risks and access to water and sanitation in Lilongwe urban and peri-urban areas

The household survey INHAbIT Cities - UNHIDE (Investigating Natural, Historical and Institutional Transformations in Cities  and Uncovering Hidden Dynamics in Slum Environments) focuses on urban risks and sanitation in Lilongwe. The aim was to assess access to basic services and risks perception of urban dwellers living in areas characterised by different conditions of access to water and sanitation and other basic services. Lilongwe was a small town of less than 20,000 inhabitants in 1966 and only started growing after it became the capital in 1975. Its population has reached approximately 1 million inhabitants, living in 58 administrative units, called areas. Infrastructures and service provision is concentrated in the central areas – where parliament, ministries, government offices, embassies, hotels and the commercial area were located -  while low income areas suffer the most from infrastructure and basic services deficits. To illustrate, while some areas access water through in-house connections, others are served through water kiosks, characterised (in some areas) by high rates of discontinuity. Similarly, everyday risks are unevenly distributed across urban spaces: as shown in the survey perception of risks varies drastically from neighbourhood to neighbourhood and depending on the quality and availability of services provided. Data for this survey were collected between February and April 2015 by a team of local researchers, who administered the questionnaire in local language. Publications linked to this survey are: Rusca M., Alda Vidal C., Hordijk M., Kral N., (2017) Bathing without water, and other stories of everyday hygiene practices and risk perception in urban low-income areas: the case of Lilongwe, Malawi, Environment and Urbanisation Vol 29, Issue 2, pp. 533 – 550.  Tiwale S., Rusca M., Zwarteveen M., The power of pipes: mapping urban water inequities through the material properties of networked water infrastructures.
