Role of Personal Connections in Shaping Decisions About Private Forest Use in Central Massachusetts 2008
We begin with a simple premise: Social and ecological systems are interconnected in complex ways. Forests are, perhaps, one of the most intriguing examples of this interconnectedness--particularly those in private ownerships. Forested landscapes are essential in maintaining human systems through the provision of multiple ecosystem services that span public (e.g., clean water, nutrient cycling) and private (e.g., fiber, maple syrup, home sites) goods. However, the majority of forestland in the Eastern United States is a mosaic of small landholdings (less than 20 ha) where property management is largely uncoordinated. On such landscapes, decentralized, ownership-centric decision-making defines the mix of ecosystem services provided and the landscape patterns present now and in the future. While somewhat effective for less spatially sensitive ecosystem services (e.g., fiber production), this ownership-centric approach is ill suited to spatially sensitive ones (e.g., water quality) and may, in some cases, be detrimental to them (e.g., habitat fragmentation). Improving the ecological and landscape sensitivity of private forest conservation and management is a major challenge facing researchers, practitioners, and policymakers in sustaining forest ecosystems. Central to unraveling this challenge is a fundamental understanding of how landowners simultaneously fit within their social and bio-physical landscapes. Despite their importance to broader forest sustainability, our collectively understanding of forest landowners has been primarily concerned with individual landowners and/or individual properties. For example, most research surrounding private forest landowners centers on primarily agent-based theories of behavior or decision-making (e.g., rational actor, theory of planned behavior). This perspective is useful in predicting and effecting behavior at broad scales, but lacks the specificity needed to address local landscape concerns and/or opportunities. Other studies
Data from “A Mixed Method Approach to Understanding the Public Health Impact of a School-Based Citizen Science Program to Reduce Arsenic in Private Well Water”
Objectives We have approached the problem of low well water testing rates in Maine and New Hampshire communities by developing the All About Arsenic (AAA) project, which engages secondary school teachers and students as citizen scientists in collecting well water samples for analysis of arsenic and other toxic metals and supports their outreach efforts to their communities. Methods We assessed this project’s public health impact by analyzing student data relative to existing well water quality datasets in both states. In addition, we surveyed private well owners who contributed well water samples to the project to determine the actions taken to mitigate arsenic in well water. Data The data presented here are used in the analyses performed for the publication: "A Mixed Method Approach to Understanding the Public Health Impact of a School-Based Citizen Science Program to Reduce Arsenic in Private Well Water.” Additional data may be available at: The Anecdata Project Page: https://anecdata.org/projects/view/299 The project website: https://www.allaboutarsenic.org/

Whole genome sequencing of Turkish genomes reveals functional private alleles and impact of genetic interactions with Europe, Asia and Africa.
<p>BACKGROUND:</p> <p>Turkey is a crossroads of major population movements throughout history and has been a hotspot of cultural interactions. Several studies have investigated the complex population history of Turkey through a limited set of genetic markers. However, to date, there have been no studies to assess the genetic variation at the whole genome level using whole genome sequencing. Here, we present whole genome sequences of 16 Turkish individuals resequenced at high coverage (32×-48×).</p> <p>RESULTS:</p> <p>We show that the genetic variation of the contemporary Turkish population clusters with South European populations, as expected, but also shows signatures of relatively recent contribution from ancestral East Asian populations. In addition, we document a significant enrichment of non-synonymous private alleles, consistent with recent observations in European populations. A number of variants associated with skin color and total cholesterol levels show frequency differentiation between the Turkish populations and European populations. Furthermore, we have analyzed the 17q21.31 inversion polymorphism region (MAPT locus) and found increased allele frequency of 31.25% for H1/H2 inversion polymorphism when compared to European populations that show about 25% of allele frequency.</p> <p>CONCLUSION:</p> <p>This study provides the first map of common genetic variation from 16 western Asian individuals and thus helps fill an important geographical gap in analyzing natural human variation and human migration. Our data will help develop population-specific experimental designs for studies investigating disease associations and demographic history in Turkey.</p>
A private house in 'Marea'/Philoxenite transformed into a monastic institution and other Christian hybrid buildings in the Mareotis region - additional illustrations
<p>Set of three documents on potsherds (ostraca) has been found in Philoxenite (Egypt). All three of the ostraca, M200249 (= Document A), M200250 (= Document B), and M200251 (= Document C) are preserved in their entirety, in the sense that the sherds, meant to serve as the canvas for the documents, were not broken when they were thrown out into the rubbish pit in the piscina.</p> <p>The photos uploaded here provide supplementary material for an article discussing the content of these ostraca. </p> <p> </p>
Outsourcing asylum reception Street-level organizations and the privatization of state action in Switzerland
<p>By approaching outsourcing through an ethnographic lens,we focus on the policies that enable public authorities to deal with the many uncertainties of refugee reception. We investigate how cantonal (subnational) governments in Switzerland remodel these uncertainties by implementing the policy of reception through private intermediaries, namely actors, instruments, and rationalities from the private sphere.</p> <p>Codebook along DDI standard in pdf and xml formats.</p>
Extensive crowdsourced dataset of in-situ evaluated binaural soundscapes of private dwellings containing subjective sound-related and situational ratings along with person factors to study time-varying influences on sound perception — research data
<p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p> <p>The soundscape approach highlights the role of situational factors in sound evaluations; however, only a few studies have applied a multi‐domain approach including sound‐related, person‐related, and time‐varying situational variables. Therefore, we conducted a study based on the Experience Sampling Method to measure the relative contribution of a broad range of potentially relevant acoustic and non‐auditory variables in predicting indoor soundscape evaluations. Here we present the comprehensive dataset for which 105 participants reported temporally (rather) stable trait variables such as noise sensitivity, trait affect, and quality of life. They rated 6.594 situations regarding the soundscape standard dimensions, perceived loudness, and the saliency of its sound components and evaluated situational variables such as state affect, perceived control, activity, and location. To complement these subject‐centered data, we additionally crowdsourced object‐centered data by having participants make binaural measurements of each indoor soundscape at their homes using a low‐(self‐)noise recorder. These recordings were used to compute (psycho‐)acoustical indices such as the energetically averaged loudness level, the A‐weighted energetically averaged equivalent continuous sound pressure level, and the A‐weighted five‐percent exceedance level. This complex hierarchical data can be used to investigate time‐varying non‐auditory influences on sound perception and to develop soundscape indicators based on the binaural recordings to predict soundscape evaluations.</p> <p><strong>Content:</strong></p> <ul> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/01%20StudyDescription.pdf">01 StudyDescription.pdf </a> <ul> <li>Description of the field study.</li> <li>Information about the methods and materials used.</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/02%20Dataset.csv">02 Dataset.csv</a> <ul> <li>The dataset, consisting of 93 variables describing 6594 observations taken by 105 participants.</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/03%20VariableDescriptions_EnglishPersonQuestionnaire.pdf">03 VariableDescriptions_EnglishPersonQuestionnaire.pdf</a> <ul> <li>Descriptions of all variables, their measurement scale, scale ranges and levels.</li> <li>Questions and task descriptions of the Experience Sampling Method questionnaire in German language with an English translation.</li> <li>English translations of questions asked in the person questionnaire.</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/04%20ESM-Questionnaire.pdf">04 ESM-Questionnaire.pdf</a> <ul> <li>Screenshots of the original Experience Sampling Method questionnaire with English translations.</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/05%20PersonQuestionnaire_OriginalGermanVersion.pdf">05 PersonQuestionnaire_OriginalGermanVersion.pdf</a> <ul> <li>Original version of the person questionnaire in German language.</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/06%20HelpTexts.pdf">06 HelpTexts.pdf</a> <ul> <li>Descriptions of the study task.</li> <li>Explanations of the scales used in the questionnaire.</li> <li>Explanations of the sound categories and the soundscape composition.</li> <li>Explanation of the operation of the recording device.</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/AcousticFeatures_README.md">AcousticFeatures_README.md</a> <a href="https://zenodo.org/api/files/3d784540-c0f4-412f-8742-df1db6f5401d/TimeSeries_and_Spectrograms_README.md?versionId=9291496c-d2c6-4151-96f1-a2ad99e1a540"> </a> <ul> <li>Descriptions of the structure of the AcousticFeatures_xxx.csv and .zip files.</li> <li>Analyis settings used in Artemis Suite to generate the acoustic features.</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/AcousticFeatures_SingleValues.csv">AcousticFeatures_SingleValues.csv</a> <ul> <li>All acoustic features, aggregated to single values per feature, recording, and channel.</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/AcousticFeatures_Spectra.csv">AcousticFeatures_Spectra.csv</a> <ul> <li>Time-averaged 1/3 octave spectra of each channel of each recording, A-weichted and un-weighted.</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/AcousticFeatures_Spectrograms.zip">AcousticFeatures_Spectrograms.zip</a> <ul> <li>13188 .csv files with un-weighted spetrograms of each channel of each recording.</li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7858848/files/AcousticFeatures_TimeSeries.zip">AcousticFeatures_TimeSeries.zip</a> <ul> <li>A .csv file containing LAeq and LZeq time series of each channel of each recording.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p><strong>Publications refering to this dataset:</strong></p> <p>Versümer, Siegbert; Steffens, Jochen; Weinzierl, Stefan (currently under review): "The role of loudness predictions, personal and situational factors in day-to-day loudness assessments of indoor soundscapes."</p> <p><strong>Funding:</strong></p> <p>This study was sponsored by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research. “FHprofUnt” funding code: 13FH729IX6. </p> <p><strong>License: </strong></p> <p>CC 4.0 BY, <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode</a></p> <p><strong>Version history:</strong></p> <p>Details can be found in the <a href="https://zenodo.org/api/files/a15d6a91-1a35-4b5e-a7ec-da8a9bcbee2b/Changelog.md">Changelog.md</a> file.</p> <ul> <li> V.01.0.

Data from "Examining potential PFAS Contamination of Private Wells from a High School in Rural Maine"
Data from "Schools as Sources of PFAS Contamination of private wells in Rural Maine communities" In a community-engaged research project near Mount Desert Island High School in Bar Harbor, Maine, efforts were made to understand potential well contamination. This involved attending public meetings, distributing PFAS drinking water sample kits to homeowners, and collaborating on sample collection protocols. Surface water samples were collected from wetlands adjacent to the school, while drinking water samples were obtained from eight property owners, with careful adherence to sampling procedures to prevent contamination. Samples were analyzed for PFAS content and data are reported here.

Improved database of public-private partnerships from World Bank with imputed economic, institutional and conflict data.
<p>The <a href="https://ppi.worldbank.org/en/ppi">World Bank's database</a> on private participation in infrastructure (PPI) projects provides detailed information on these initiatives. However, the original dataset includes imputed macro-level data for the countries that is outdated, lacks assigned ISO country codes, and is not linked to other standard country-level variables necessary for proper analysis and control by territory. In the improved version of the database, 10,958 project observations from 1900 to 2021 have been supplemented with ISO 2 and 3 country codes, enabling accurate integration with other databases. Additionally, 49 new variables related to <a href="https://data.worldbank.org/?cid=ECR_GA_worldbank_EN_EXTP_search&s_kwcid=AL!18468!3!704632427243!b!!g!!world%20bank%20projects&gad_source=1">economic</a>, <a href="https://www.worldbank.org/en/publication/worldwide-governance-indicators">institutional</a>, and <a href="https://www.start.umd.edu/gtd/">conflict data</a> are incorporated by country and year. This enhanced database ensures that researchers can retain critical World Bank information that might otherwise be lost in future updates, as it is not always preserved in repositories</p>
