It’s not black and white: Perspectives of Western Canadian beef farmers on dairy-beef production.
No full textThis dataset contains the supplementary materials of the study: "It’s not black and white: Perspectives of Western Canadian beef farmers on dairy-beef production."
Abstract: Non-replacement dairy calves (i.e., male calves and females not needed for milking herd replacement) can face multiple welfare challenges due to their lower economic value in the dairy and beef industries. Incorporating beef genetics into dairy herd breeding programs has become common on dairy farms to produce ‘beef-on-dairy’ calves that are better suited for beef production than pure dairy breed animals. This practice results in increased revenue from non-replacement dairy calves for dairy farmers, but little is known about the impact of dairy-beef production on beef farmers. This study aimed to investigate the attitudes of Canadian beef farmers toward dairy-beef production, with a focus on how beef-on-dairy breeding strategies by dairy may affect the beef industry. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 20 beef farmers in Western Canada, exploring their awareness, attitudes, and recommendations for the management of dairy-beef calves. Participants (11 male, 9 female) were recruited using snowball sampling and interviewed following a semi-structured interview guide. The audio-recorded interviews (averaging 44±15 min in duration) were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using inductive thematic analysis, resulting in three main themes: 1) the dairy and beef relationship, 2) attitudes to beef-on-dairy animals, and 3) a shared future. In the first theme, participants discussed the relationship between the dairy and beef industries, highlighting differences in Canadian market structures (dairy as supply-managed vs. beef as an open market), farming practices (beef farming as more extensive vs. dairy as more intensive) and public perceptions of the two systems. In the second theme, participants showed mixed attitudes toward dairy-beef production and discussed their views about beef-on-dairy calves compared to purebred dairy calves, the management practices used to raise them, and the potential impacts of dairy-beef production on the beef industry. In the third theme, participants reflected on the future of dairy-beef production, discussing who should be involved in shaping the future of this practice. Participants showed mixed feelings towards the use of beef genetics in dairy herds, with some perceiving this as an opportunity for the beef industry to meet consumer demand and others expressing concern about the over-saturation of the beef market and possible threats to traditional ways of rearing beef. Our study enhances the understanding of the relationship between the dairy and beef industries in Western Canada and suggests the need for communication and collaboration among producers and others in the supply chain
Data in support of: A’ faighneachd Mhic-Talla [Asking the Echo]: A corpus-based approach to vernacular classification of Gaelic songs
No full textThis dataset is in support of the Master's thesis research entitled "A’ faighneachd Mhic-Talla [Asking the Echo]: A corpus-based approach to vernacular classification of Gaelic songs." The purpose of this research was to identify vernacular classifications of Gaelic songs. The original data for this study consisted of textual data from the all-Gaelic newspaper Mac-Talla (1892-1904) and was sourced from two institutions: DASG (Digital Archive of Scottish Gaelic) and the Angus L. Macdonald Library at St. Francis Xavier University. Two pages that were missing from the Angus L. Macdonald Library collection were not included in this study: October 8, 1892, volume 1, number 20, pp. 3-4. File 01 (README.txt) contains contextual documentation for this dataset. File 02 (CM_KWIC_char20_2025-05-25_v01_raw.tab) is comprised of the raw concordance data generated in R of 20-line character strings from the keywords "òran" (song) and "amhran" (song [dialectical variation]). File 03 (CM_oran_2025-04-30_v01_final.tab) is the final dataset of the adjectival and genitive constructions of "òran" and "amhran." File 04 (CM_category_2025-04-30_v01_final.tab) is the final dataset of the song categories that were manually extracted from the concordance data

Dataset Description
Dataset Description
This dataset contains environmental data collected from two locations: the UQAM-PK rooftop and Forêt Montmorency. The data spans two time periods:
October 2020 to May 2021
October 2021 to May 2022
The data includes a variety of environmental measurements such as precipitation, temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, and weather codes. These measurements were collected using various instruments, including Geonor and OTT systems, providing valuable insights into the atmospheric conditions at these locations.

Postal Code Federal Riding File [Canada], May 2021, Census of Canada 2016
No full textThe Postal Codes by Federal Ridings File (PCFRF) is a digital file which provides a link between the six- character postal code and Canada’s federal electoral districts (which are also known as federal ridings).
Elections Canada defines a federal electoral district (FED) as any place or territorial area entitled to return a Member of Parliament (MP) to serve in the House of Commons. Federal electoral district legal limits and descriptions are the responsibility of the Chief Electoral Officer, and are usually revised every ten years after the results of the decennial census. There are 338 FEDs in the 2013 Representation Order, the most recent revision of the federal electoral districts limits.
Some postal codes straddle one or more FED boundaries. The ‘unique link’ variable indicates if the postal code is linked to one or more FEDs. Users often link the postal code in their data set to the FED in the PCFRF. When performing this link, users should be aware that the postal code in their data set may represent a mailing address used by a person, not necessarily where the person actually resides. Similarly, a postal code in a business-based mailing address may not necessarily indicate where the business activity took place.
The reference date for postal codes contained in the PCFRF is the same date as the postal codes contained in the Postal Code Conversion File (PCCF) product released concurrently with this version of the PCFRF</p
Replication data for: Monitoring and managing clubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora Brassicae (Woronin), on canola (Brassica napus) in Ontario, Canada
No full textClubroot, caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae (Woronin), causes characteristic root deformities and severe yield loss in Brassicaceae crops. Resting spores of P. brassicae can persist in soil for years and new pathotypes rapidly overcome the resistance provided by single resistance genes. To monitor the disease in Ontario, clubbed roots from 12 fields were pathotyped; 11 were emergent, virulent pathotypes. Soil pH above 7.2 effectively reduced clubroot severity in high organic matter soils, calcium alone had no effect. Microbial communities differed between bulk soil and the rhizoplane of healthy hosts and clubbed roots. Natural freeze-thaw temperature cycles overwinter as well as long-term storage in water reduced the viability of resting spores, but not enough to prevent high levels of disease on susceptible hosts. Ideal inoculum storage conditions can be updated based on these findings. Clubroot monitoring and management strategies are integral to protecting brassica crop yields and preventing disease spread
Dataset for Code Classification, Transformation, and Recommendation Tasks
No full textThis repository contains curated datasets designed for research on programming style, code quality, and sociolinguistic factors. The data was collected from two major programming platforms: Codeforces and GitHub. Each dataset is stored in a CSV file and is annotated with various metadata attributes such as gender, region, expertise, and code compliance.
These datasets are suitable for tasks such as:
- Code quality prediction using LLMs
- Demographic and regional analysis of coding styles
- Program transformation (e.g., converting non-compliant to compliant code)
- Fairness-aware ML in software engineering
Each file is ready for ingestion into machine learning pipelines or statistical analysis tools. The code snippets are executable, and maintainability scores have been validated using Halstead metrics and parsing tools
