Productive, carcass, meat and sensory quality and bone characteristics of entire male and early and late immunocastrated pigs
No full textA total of 40 pigs of the same commercial line ((LargeWhite x Landrace) x Pietrain) were fed ad libitum the same commercial. Pigs were randomised into 3 groups (1) early immunocastrated (EIC, n =14), which received the first dose of the vaccine (V1) Improvac 13 weeks before slaughter and the second dose (V2) 8 weeks before slaughter; (2) late immunocastrated (LIC, n =14), which received V1 8 weeks and V2 4 weeks before slaughter; and (3) entire male (EM, n =12). The pigs were housed in pens of 2 animals from the same treatment. Finally, three pigs were removed from the experiment due to health problems (2 EIC and 1 EM), leaving 37 pigs for further analysis. Productive parameters were determined individually or by pen. Once slaughtered reproductive organs were measured. Carcass quality determinations were carried out. Also, left half carcasses were scanned with the computed tomography device (Philips Brilliance 16) and the volume associated to each Hounsfield value determined to characterize bones according to its density. Moreover, the radius bone was characterized. Also, some linear and area measurements were taken from the scans. Meat quality was determined as well as fat quality, in terms of fatty acid composition. Additionally, histological analysis was carried out to determine the diameter and proportion of each type of fibres

Replication data for: "Effect of grazing deprivation as compared to grazing restriction on hair and saliva cortisol levels in pregnant ewes"
No full textIn the first week of the experiment, hair from the left forelimb was shaved in all ewes. Later, the same surface-hair samples were obtained twice, in Week 5 (W5) , when ewes were in the first half of pregnancy and in Week 10 (W10). Samples were processed following a methanol-based extraction protocol previously described (Davenport et al., 2006, Tallo-Parra et al., 2015). Cortisol concentrations in hair samples were determined by using a competitive cortisol enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kit.
Saliva samples were taken in all ewes on Weeks 0, 3, 5, 8 and 10 (W0, W3, W5, W8, W10), and sampling was always performed between 16:00 and 17:30. Samples were obtained from a sponge of Salivette® tubes (Sarstedt, Aktiengesellsschaft & Co.; Nümbrecht, Germany). Samples were subsequently centrifuged at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes and then stored at -200C until analysis. Measurement of cortisol concentrations in saliva samples and the assay validation tests were performed using a commercial Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbentAssay (ELISA) kit (Neogen Corporation©; Ayr, UK). The assay was validated for the analysis of cortisol in saliva of Ovis aries following the criteria for an immunological validation (Midgley et al., 1969; Reimers & Lamb, 1991). The dilution test showed an R2 = 98.54 % and a mean recovery rate of 105.90% suggesting high specificity of the test
Unequal Family Contexts for Children and Adolescents in Spain
No full textThe environment in which children and adolescents develop plays a crucial role in shaping
their future outcomes across various social, educational, economic, psychological, and health
domains. Current research on the connection between inequality and family context often
relies on predefined statistical categories like household income, parents' educational
attainment, ethnicity, or occupation. However, inequalities are not experienced as isolated
categories but at the intersection of multiple social identities, including gender, place of
origin, employment status, and living conditions. We propose a quantitative approach to
intersectional theory to understand how interconnected forms of inequality impact the family
and labour contexts of children and adolescents. We reconstruct the contexts in which
children (n=13,718) from different social classes are raised by utilising retrospective
information from the 2018 Spanish Fertility Survey, which details parents' family and labour
trajectories (n=9,685). This approach allows us to identify which social groups are more
likely to experience positively rewarded or socially penalised trajectories. Our findings
suggest that socially disadvantaged groups face higher exposure to unstable family
trajectories and that it is the interaction between various deprivation social categories that
contributes to more turbulent childhood and adolescence experiences instead of isolated
categories
Replication data for: Indigenous peoples’ health: culturally grounded evidence from the Baka, Southeastern Cameroon
No full textThis dataset derives from the research project "Resilience of Indigenous Peoples Healthcare system", led by Sandrine Gallois, funded by the Beatriu de Pinós Programme and the Ministry of Research and Universities of the Government of Catalonia (BP2020-00216). This research explores the local medical system of the Baka people, forager-horticulturalists living in southeastern Cameroon. Specifically, it aims to assess the adaptive capacity of their medical system to the current social-ecological changes, by taking an interdisciplinary lens, diving into the local ecological knowledge and practices of the Baka and the different disturbances affecting their health and healthcare system.
This dataset is part of this broad research, focusing specifically on the health state of the Baka and on their cultural conception towards health, healthcare, and the disturbances on both these laters.
The data were collected in two villages from southeastern Cameroon, in the Lomié and Messok districts, in 2022, with a total of 302 individuals (148 children and 154 adults) belonging to 83 households. The dataset contains the answers to the self-reported health recall questionnaires conducted with these individuals.

Dynamically downscaled high-resolution (1 km) climate information over the Balearic Islands
No full textPresent climate and pseudo-global warming information over the Balearic Islands at 1 km spatial resolution created with the Weather Research and Forecasting Model (WRF).
This datasets contains model outputs from the Weather Research and Forecasting model v4.6 over the Balearic Islands at 1 km spatial resolution and covering the period 2009-2023 (both included). The dataset consists of data from two simulations: a control experiment (CTL) driven by ERA5 reanalysis and a pseudo-global experiment (PGW) driven by ERA5 plus a climate change signal obtained from 30 CMIP6 global models. The climate change signal is calculated for each calendar month and for all variables ingested by the WRF model. The signal is computed as the difference between the periods 2031-2050 and 2004-2023 and the SSP585 emission scenario.
Six variables at hourly frequency are provided for each simulation: precipitation (PR), 2-m temperature (T2), surface pressure (PSFC), 2-m relative humidity (RH2), 2-m dewpoint temperature (TD2) and 10-m wind speed (WSPD10) from the original model output.
The model experiments included a 1 km spatial resolution domain spanning the Balearic Islands nested in a 10 km spatial resolution domain covering a large portion of the Northeastern Atlantic, Western Europe and Northwestern Africa.
The dataset includes an image of the domains.
This dataset was generated in MareNostrum5 HPC at Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) Activity ID AECT-2024-2-003

Orchard farmers' behavioral intentions and willingness to adopt pesticide-reducing innovations
No full textVineyard and olive grove farmers rely heavily on plant protection products (i.e., pesticides) to ensure production. However, the ambitious EU Green Deal target requires that farmers consider alternative innovations that reduce pesticides use.
This dataset collect information from 354 olive and vine farmers in France, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Spain to determine their intention to adopt emerging pesticide-reducing innovations in the sector. Information on attidues, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, familiarity with innovations, perceived cost, and perceived effectiveness of existing methods were collected. Furthermore, we collected information on farmers' willingness
to adopt each innovation partially or fully based on detailed information about each innovation.
There were no missing values and all respondents gave consent before taking part in the survey. The data contributes to understanding farmers behavioral intentions in the wake of the EU target of halving pesticides use by 2030
