Light, power, action! Interaction of respiratory energy and blue light induced stomatal movements
No full textThese data comprise all the published (including supplemental materials) information related to the paper titled above. The files are laid out in order of which figure they were used for (e.g. Fig 1-2, Fig. S7, etc). All gas exchange data was collected on plants grown in the glasshouse at the University of Essex, using LiCOR 6400XT or 6800 portable gas exchange systems. All data files include RAW output files and altered files where required (e.g. for changes in leaf area), in .csv, .xls, .xlsx, or Unix executable formats
Effects of thermal acclimation on metabolic and feeding rates
No full textThis is a dataset of metabolic rates and functional responses, measured in laboratory experiments for a widespread predator-prey pair of freshwater invertebrates, sampled from across a natural stream temperature gradient in Iceland (4–18 °C). We found that acclimation to higher temperatures either had neutral effects or reduced the thermal sensitivity of both metabolic and feeding rates for the predator, increasing its energetic efficiency. These findings indicate that phenotypic plasticity can act as a buffer against the impacts of environmental warming. As a consequence, predator-prey interactions between ectotherms may be less sensitive to future warming than previously expected
The representation of environmental protest Online and Offline (BA-funded project N SRG18R1\181324)
No full textThis dataset includes the transcripts of the interviews with 6 NOTAP activists. In the municipality of Melendugno, a small village in the Salento area situated in the south-eastern Puglia region of Italy, people are currently protesting against the Trans Adriatic Pipeline, commonly known as TAP, which is a state-authorized project that will bring natural gas from Azerbaijan to Italy (and, through it, to Europe) via Turkey, Greece and Albania. The pipeline is part of the Southern Gas Corridor, which is funded by the European Investment Bank (EIB). The research relied on face-to-face semi-structured interviews with six activists, including: three key members of the main social movements protesting against the TAP pipeline; one technical expert appointed by the municipality to oversee the construction of the pipeline; one lawyer member of the NOTAP ‘legal team’; and one mayor among those who have overtly supported the NOTAP protest. The interview transcripts have been anonymised not to allow for the identification of interviewees and of other people named by them during the interviews (their names have been anonymised as following: [XXXX]). Irrelevant or unclear parts in the interviews have been indicated in the text as following: [...].
The project also relied on the collection of #NOTAP tweets with embedded visual material via our ‘Listener’ tool from October 2018 until the end of June 2019 (N=22,790). For information on this dataset see https://github.com/Minyall/NoTAP-visual_method
Modification of The Rosenberg Scale to Assess Self-Esteem in Children
No full textBackground: Rosenberg’s self-esteem scale (RSES) is widely used to assess global self-esteem (SE) in adults and adolescents but is not validated for children <12years. This study assessed the internal consistency, validity and factor structure of a modified RSES for schoolchildren (CRSES) aged 7-12years.
Methods: A total of 711 children aged 9.0±1.5 years completed the CRSES; a subset (n=417) also completed a life satisfaction (LS) scale. Data were submitted for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and tests of factorial invariance by sex. Two-way ANOVA compared scores by age-group and sex; whilst Pearson’s correlations examined the relationship between LS and SE.
Results: Following the use of modification indices, CFA revealed that the fit for the global SE model met the criteria for all goodness of fit statistics: χ(27, n=711)=77.22; χnormed= 2.860 CFI=.961; RMSEA=.051 with 90%CI =.038-.065; SRMR=.037; and displayed respectable reliability (α = .79). The model was also factorially invariant by sex. SE scores did not vary sex (p>.05); but were significantly reduced in children aged 9-10years and 11-12years compared to children aged 7-8years. The global SE score was significantly correlated (r=-.51; P<.001) with LS.
Conclusion: The CRSES can reliably examine global SE in children aged 7-12years; extending the use of the RSES to allow tracking across the life course

A cross-sectional study of physical activity behaviour and associations with wellbeing during the UK coronavirus lockdown.
No full textThe coronavirus pandemic resulted in limitations on movement, impacting both physical activity and mental wellbeing. This dataset examines changes in physical activity and wellbeing across the coronavirus pandemic.
Between 1st May- 2nd June 2020 315 UK adults participated in an online survey reporting their average weekly PA prior to lockdown (retrospectively), alongside physical activity in the previous 7-days using the international physical activity questionnaire short form. Participants also identified their modes and locations of physical activity and rated the importance of physical activity during lockdown compared to prior to the pandemic. Mental wellbeing in the last month was also assessed via the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale short form and the short form Warwick Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale. Participants also completed the nature connection index.
All participants who were recruited during May-June 2020, were asked to indicate whether they would be happy to be contacted regarding future research. All participants who agreed were subsequently contacted in June 2021 to ask whether they would complete a follow-up survey. A total of 165 participants were contacted, with 56 completing a follow up survey. Participants completed the follow up survey between 14th June and 23rd July 2021 and reported their average weekly physical activity during the January 2021 lockdown (retrospectively), and in the previous 7-days using the international physical activity questionnaire short form. Participants also rated the importance of physical activity during the January 2021 lockdown compared to previous lockdowns and at the time of the survey compared to the January 2021 lockdown. Modes and locations of physical activity at these timepoints were also identified. Participants also repeated the measures of nature connection and mental wellbeing
