Supporting Data for: Differential expression of VA opsin transcript variants in tissues linked to photoperiodic time measurement in Svalbard rock ptarmigan
No full textSupporting Data for: Differential expression of VA opsin transcript variants in tissues linked to photoperiodic time measurement in Svalbard rock ptarmigan
Abstract: Photoperiodic time measurement is the process through which annual changes in daylength are integrated to synchronize seasonal physiological and behavioral responses. Unlike mammals, which detect light exclusively through the eyes, birds possess multiple photoreceptive sites including the eyes, pineal gland, and deep brain photoreceptors (DBPs) located within the hypothalamus. The cellular and molecular identity of the DBPs mediating avian photoperiodic time measurement remains a matter of debate, however. Vertebrate ancient opsin (VA opn) is considered a strong DBP candidate, based on its anatomical localization and spectral response characteristics. Here, we used three different RNA profiling methods to evaluate VA opn expression across photosensitive structures in the Svalbard rock ptarmigan, a highly photoperiodic galliform species adapted to the extreme light conditions of the High Arctic. In the pineal gland, over 60% of transcripts encoded a full-length VA opn, containing all seven transmembrane domains considered necessary for photoreceptor function. In vitro analysis demonstrated that the full-length VA opn has peak spectral sensitivity at approximately 500 nm, consistent with published work in other galliform species. By contrast, in the hypothalamus and retina, the majority of VA opn transcripts are predicted to encode non-functional proteins lacking at least 2 out of 7 transmembrane domains. In the hypothalamus, single-nuclei RNA-sequencing analysis showed that VA opn transcript variants are predominantly expressed in cells of the oligodendrocyte lineage. These data support a model in which, in the Svalbard rock ptarmigan, VA opn contributes to the photosensitivity of the pineal gland, but not to hypothalamic DBP function
Replication Data for Preaching Conservative Ideas: The Speech-Act Theory of Value Conflict
No full textReplication Data for Preaching Conservative Ideas: The Speech-Act Theory of Value Conflict. The data were collected in Norway (2020, 2021 and 2022), Sweden (2021) and Germany (2021). All data are survey data and the datasets consist of survey experiments and some background characteristics, and code to replicate the findings presented in the paper. The experiments are classical tolerance experiments where the question is not to agree or disagree with a value, but to agree or disagree to uphold central civil liberties. All experiments concern upholding the rights of Muslims to freedom of assembly. The code is uploaded as do.files and txt. The data files are uploaded as dta. and csv.-files. Please see the README-file for more information.Article abstract:
"This is a study of how opposing cultural values influence support for minorities’ civil liberties. We build on a rich body of work, which establishes that culturally liberal Europeans are more likely to value diversity and favor minority rights than are cultural conservatives. Our contribution is to bring attention to how a second dimension of value conflict upends this established pattern. If a religious minority, in this case Muslims, wants to use their religious freedom to call on Muslims to adhere to conservative Islamic values – to preach them – support for their civil liberties plunges. We report substantively large and remarkably consistent results from seven classical tolerance experiments conducted in three European countries. In each trial, we observe the tendency of non-Muslims to deny Muslims their right to freedom of religion. We consistently observe that culturally liberal citizens join cultural conservatives in turning against Muslims’ right to hold a public rally when Muslims intend to exercise their right to freedom of expression to preach (the speech-act dimension) culturally conservative ideas in Islam (the substantive dimension). Preaching is a performative utterance, an instance of when saying something is doing something. What is being done, in addition to what is being said, is to call for compliance. This study finds that conflicts with religiously grounded values in contemporary European liberal democracies often have an additional order of intensity, because stating religious beliefs in the form of performative utterances is an integral part of religious practice.

Data for: Shoot and root growth in response to hydrological fluctuations in the drought-tolerant Knautia arvensis and wet-tolerant Lythrum salicaria
No full textThis dataset represents a greenhouse experiment investigating the effects of fluctuating soil hydrology on plant growth and flowering, including root diameter and root length in raingardens. Plants in raingardens are important for evapotranspiration and maintaining infiltration properties. However, hydrological conditions, including cycles of dry and saturated conditions, influence plant performance and therefore affect plant selection. This study includes an experiment to assess whether fluctuating hydrology impacts growth, flowering, and root morphology in two species: the drought-tolerant Knautia arvensis and the wet-tolerant Lythrum salicaria. The results show that Knautia reduced growth under flooding cycles, while Lythrum reduced growth and flowering under drought cycles. Repeated consecutive drought and flooding cycles negatively influenced the growth of both species in the same way, with flooding affecting Knautia and drought affecting Lythrum. Lythrum showed more plasticity than Knautia, allocating more biomass to roots during drought cycles. Flooding cycles reduced root length in Knautia, while the drought cycles and consecutive Drought+Flooding cycles increased root diameter and decreased root length in Lythrum. Both species had coarse roots (> 2 mm) to support infiltration through biopores. If we assume that raingardens have free drainage and only rarely flood, drought-tolerant traits are more important. However, wet-tolerant species can benefit the system, especially through higher water use
Replication Data for: Damage detection in chain and synthetic mooring lines of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines
No full textAbout 65 GW of onshore wind turbine installations in Europe will reach end-of-design-life by 2028. It is time for the operators to decide on one of the three end-of-life scenarios, namely, decommissioning, lifetime extension, or repowering. The last two options will increase the operating life and thus reduce lifecycle costs. These end-of-life decisions require careful consideration of the accumulated fatigue life of each turbine in a wind farm to minimize monetary risk for the wind farm operators. Today, this decision is primarily based on a single point assessment by the certification authority.
AIMWind (Analytics for asset Integrity Management of Windfarms) project (https://www.aimwind.no/) proposes a continuous evaluation of wind farm health based on big data analytics using multimodal data such as wind, operational data, weather, condition monitoring, and inspection logs across a wind farm. Conventional approaches to fatigue estimation are slow and inadequate to achieve these goals, especially in large wind farms. Such a continuous health assessment will facilitate not only accurate life predictions but also continuous improvement of wind turbine operations to ensure long life and high availability.
In the context of the AIMWind project, simulated acceleration data representing the healthy and damaged chain or synthetic mooring lines of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines have been generated. The data have been used for the validation of various machine learning methods used for damage detection in the considered chain and synthetic mooring lines

Replication Data for: Substituting imported soybean meal with locally produced novel yeast protein in concentrates for Norwegian Red dairy cows: Implications for rumen microbiota and fatty acid composition
No full textThe data presented here is from a study investigating the effect of substituting soybean meal with a newly developed protein source (based on the yeast Cyberlindnera jadinii) in concentrate feed for dairy cows of Norwegian Red breed (NR) on the milk fatty acid composition. A total of 48 NR dairy cows were randomly allocated into three different feeding treatments (16 animals in each group). The feeding treatments consisted of the same basal diet of grass silage, but different concentrate feeds. The experimental concentrate feeds were all based on barley as the main ingredient, but 7 % of the barley (BAR, used as negative control) was replaced by either the conventional soybean meal (SBM, used as control) or the yeast Cyberlindnera jadinii (YEA). The experiment lasted for a total of 10 weeks with the first two weeks considered as an adaptation period where all cows were fed the same control diet (grass silage and SBM), before the cows were allocated to experimental diets for a period of eight weeks. Individual milk samples from weeks 2, 6 and 10 were analyzed for the total fatty acid composition using gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS). The amount of each individual fatty acid quantified is given in area (counts*min). The three different feed concentrates (SBM, BAR and YEA) were also analyzed for fatty acid composition, and is given in area (counts*min)

Replication Data for: Análisis contrastivo de los marcadores pragmáticos de vaguedad es que y en plan en el español coloquial actual: indexicalidad social y microhistoria
No full textDataset abstract
This data forms the basis for the research presented in the article "Análisis contrastivo de los marcadores pragmáticos de vaguedad es que y en plan en el español coloquial actual: indexicalidad social y microhistoria". It consists of two datafiles.
The first datafile includes 641 cases of en plan and 4366 cases of es que, extracted from CORMA, a conversational corpus of peninsular Spanish compiled between 2016 and 2019. The data were subsequently analysed to investigate the social indexicality of the pragmatic markers.
The second datafile includes 437 cases of en plan and 1622 cases of es que from a sample of conversations from CORMA, as well as 137 cases of en plan and 854 cases of es que from a sample of conversations from the COLAm corpus. COLAm is a conversational corpus of peninsular Spanish compiled between 2002 and 2007. It consists exclusively of conversations between teenagers. These data were collected in order to examine the pragmatic function of the pragmatic markers as well as changes in the use and diffusion of the two pragmatic markers in the 21st century.
Abstract of related publication
This article explores two markers of vagueness: es que (‘it is that’) and en plan (‘like’), and the role of social indexicality in their use and spread in the 21st century. Through the analysis of colloquial conversations from the CORMA corpus, it is revealed that the productivity of these markers is closely associated with sociolinguistic factors, particularly age. Furthermore, the findings indicate that es que and en plan operate at different levels of indexicality: while es que belongs to the first order, en plan belongs to the third order, due to its emblematic status in youth language. These levels also account for differences in the dissemination of the markers. A microdiachronic comparison between early 21st century youth language (COLAm) and contemporary youth speech (the youth sub-corpus of CORMA) reveals that third-order elements such as en plan undergo faster changes and wider spread than first-order elements such as es que. Moreover, depending on the level, the links between social groups and the frequency of marker use do not always remain stable over time. Additionally, socio-cultural changes are also reflected in linguistic changes. Thus, more traditional sociolinguistic parameters, such as gender and the impact of the network of the school, become less decisive in current youth language under the pressures of globalization and the expansion of social networks. Finally, the microdiachronic study indicates that the pragmatic-functional profile of both markers have remained relatively constant throughout the 21st century
