Background data for: Sense-making through hybrid talk: High-achieving secondary students’ language use during practical work
No full textThe data consists of transcribed recordings of classroom dialogues in two grade 11 classrooms during two 4 hour science lessons. All data is in Norwegian. The data was collected during teacher planned ordinary science lessons at a upper secondary school. Data were collected in 2017 using whole-class video recordings (camera pointing towards the front of the classroom from behind) and audio recordings of group discussions of five groups in each class. Recordings from each lesson were transcribed verbatim, and the data set in this database consists of these transcriptions
Replication Data for: Will future wind power development in Scandinavia have an impact on wolves?
No full textThis dataset contains the datafiles, script and README file to replicate the modelling of the related publication.Abstract:
The global energy demand is growing, and the world is shifting towards using more renewable energy, like increased onshore wind power development. We used Global Positioning System (GPS) and Very High Frequency (VHF) location data from adult, territorial wolves Canis lupus in Scandinavia (Sweden and Norway; 1999–2021), to examine the potential for wind power development to affect wolf behavioural ecology. We examined the spatial overlap of areas proposed for wind power development with wolf territory activity centres prior to construction, to test to what extent overlap varies with season, time of day and social status (breeding versus non-breeding wolves). Measures of overlap were the distance between wolf activity centre points and nearest proposed wind turbine, the probability of proposed wind turbines being within the activity centre, and the density of proposed wind turbines within the activity centre. The wolf activity centre points were closer to sites of proposed turbines in early summer than in late winter and the density of proposed turbines in the activity centre was higher in early summer than in late winter. These findings probably result from an altitudinal shift in wolf area use between summer and winter. We also found that the probability for proposed turbines to be within the activity centre was higher for non-breeding than for breeding wolves during early summer, whereas it was higher for breeding compared to non-breeding wolves during late winter. This difference might be an effect of that breeding wolves have a restricted area use during the early summer season (denning period), resulting in a lower probability of turbines being inside their activity centre as compared to late winter. There was no clear pattern for other seasonal and social status differences. The results should be viewed as a starting point for further research and supplemented with before-after studies
Replication Data for: "Time-resolved concentrations of serum amino acids, one-carbon metabolites and B-vitamin biomarkers during the postprandial and fasting state: the Postprandial Metabolism in Healthy Young Adults (PoMet) Study"
No full textThis dataset contains the individual metabolite data from the participants in the Postprandial Metabolism (PoMet) study. In this study, using GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS, we quantified nutritional-related biomarker and metabolite concentrations in healthy males and females at 13 timepoints after the ingestion of a standardized breakfast meal to investigate how dietary intake and fasting affect metabolite concentrations.
To ensure the anonymity of the subjects in the study, new ID numbers were randomly generated for the purpose of sharing the data. In addition, parameters such as age, height, and weight were removed from the shared data.
The PoMet study was approved by the Regional Committee for Medical and Health Research Ethics (Rek No. 236654)
Drone-based mapping of calving rates of Borebreen in Svalbard
No full textThis database contains drone-based mapping data of the crevassed and surging glacier of Borebreen in Svalbard, Norway. The dataset was generated using a structure-from-motion (SfM) method using drone-based imagery. The data was processed with Agisoft Metashape (version 1.8.5) and the processed data consists of digital elevation models (DEMs) in georeferenced .TIF file format, orthomosaic maps in georeferenced .TIF, and textured 3D models in .STL and .PDF file format. In addition, a process report in archived .PDF file format is included for each dataset. Mapping was conducted with a DJI Mavic 2 Pro Enterprise. The fieldwork was conducted in August of 2023 over several days with access to Borebreen via boat. The mapping area covers the crevassed glacier front on five days between 01 Aug 2023 and 12 Aug 2023. In addition, the glacier forefield was mapped over several days and combined into one fileset. There are two subsets of data. First, there are the files Glacier-subset-A/B for the 20230811 dataset. This data contains a subset of the glacier which was taken before (A) anda after (B) a major calving event happening on the same day. It is intended to study very short time-span calving rates. The second dataset is the Forefield-subset, that includes a larger area that was mapped using oblique mapping (in constrast to the nadir mapping in the rest of the dataset. Processing of the data was conducted by Richard Hann. Data aquisiton by Richard Hann and Nil Rodes (20230801). Project and fieldwork support by Wojciech Gajek, Danni Pearce, and William Harcourt
Replication Data for: Hunting method affects cortisol levels in harvested mountain hares (Lepus timidus)
No full textThis dataset contains information on cortisol levels in Norwegian mountain hares (Lepus timidus) after hunting. The dataset includes cortisol level measurements from 20 hares that were hunted using dogs and 32 hares that were hunted without the use of dogs. For addittional information on georeferencing, age, concentration of other blood hormones etc contact senior author. Abstract (of article):
Direct effect of hunting on hunted individuals and populations have been well-known for a long time. However, there has recently been an increased focus also on the indirect, non-lethal effects of hunting. When approached by a possible threat such as a predator, prey releases various stress hormones into the bloodstream. Cortisol is one of these hormones and the blood concentration is an indicator of stress levels in mammals. Here we report on a study on effects of using hunting dogs versus walk-up shooting on mountain hare blood cortisol levels. We sampled 20 hares hunted using dogs and 32 control hares hunted without using dogs. On average cortisol levels in hares hunted using dogs was 44.6 ng/ml, while hares harvested without being chased by dogs was 6.8 ng/ml. Based on the blood hormone levels of this study we cannot conclude if the elevated cortisol levels we see in the hares hunted using dogs was harmful to the hares had they not been shot. However, given what is known about effects of chronic stress, we would caution against repeated chases of individual hares. The cumulative effect of stressors including hunting is likely crucial for any effects on reproduction and survival. Thus, there is a need to evaluate the long-term effects of hunting chases and other human activities on mountain hare stress hormone levels, and to investigate the long-term effect on hare behavior, space use, survival, reproduction and recruitment

Replication Data for: A Database of Post-2002 Dead Sea Scroll-like Fragments
No full textSince 2002, more than a hundred "new" Dead Sea Scroll fragments have appeared on the antiquities market. Most of these fragments are tiny and deteriorated and have later been revealed as modern forgeries. Nonetheless, they have been big business. In this database, we have catalogued all of them, providing information about their content, owners, alleged provenance, their place in the biblical corpus, size, and publication history
Label-free and fluorescent imaging data of microparticle association with Salmon Keratocytes
No full textThe dataset contains multimodal and multidimensional microscopy images of the interactions between different microparticles either in skin keratocytes cells (SKC) or in corneal keratocyte cells (CKC) of Atlantic Salmon. All images were captured at room temperature, and the dataset includes both test (with microparticles) and control (without microparticles) conditions. These interactions were captured using two different microscopes:
1) 3D Cell Explorer-fluo (Nanolive): a holotomographic imaging method which produces label-free 3D images using refractive index as the contrast mechanism and can optionally also provide 2D correlative fluorescence images.
2) DeltaVision Elite (GE Healthcare): a widefield fluorescence microscope with integrated deconvolution for improved 3D imaging, which can provide correlative 2D differential interference contrast (DIC) images.
The main goal of this study was to understand how different microparticles interact with SKC and CKC, which are two of the important defense cells for innate immunity in fish. This dataset may be useful for researchers interested in studying salmon skin and corneal cell behavior, those who are interested in cell-microparticle interactions, as well as those interested in accessing or processing a relatively new type of microscopy image (holotomography)

Replication data for: Balancing risks and rewards of alternate strategies in the seaward extent, duration and timing of fjord use in contemporary anadromy of brown trout (Salmo trutta)
No full textAnadromy comprises a successful life-cycle adaptation for salmonids, with marine migration providing improved feeding opportunities and thus improved growth. These rewards are balanced against costs from increased energy expenditure and mortality risk. Anthropogenic-induced environmental changes that reduce benefits and/or increase costs of migration e.g., aquaculture and hydropower, may therefore result in adaptations disfavouring anadromy. We tagged brown trout (Salmo trutta) smolts (N = 175) and veteran migrants (N = 342), from five adjacent riverine populations located in Sognefjorden, the longest Norwegian fjord-system supporting anadromous brown trout populations (209 km). Over four years, 138 acoustic telemetry receivers were deployed to track migrations of tagged individuals from freshwater and throughout Sognefjorden. Detected movements were used to fit migration models and multi-state mark-recapture models of survival and movement for each life-stage. Seaward migration distance was modelled to examine the fitness consequences from alternate migration strategies, with these models used to simulate the extent of fjord-use by individuals and accompanying growth, fecundity and survival consequences. We compared these findings with mark-recapture data collected prior to aquaculture and hydropower development
