The Covid-19 pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 has completely reshaped the lives of people around the world, including higher education students. Beyond serious health consequences for a proportion of those directly affected by the virus, the pandemic holds important implications for the life and work of higher education students, considerably affecting their physical and mental well-being. To capture how students perceived the first wave of the pandemic’s impact, one of the most comprehensive and large-scale online surveys across the world was conducted. Carried out between 5 May 2020 and 15 June 2020, the survey came at a time when most countries were experiencing the arduous lockdown restrictions. The online questionnaire was prepared in seven different languages (English, Italian, North Macedonian, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Turkish) and covered various aspects of higher education students’ life, including socio-demographic and academic characteristics, academic life, infrastructure and skills for studying from home, social life, emotional life and life circumstances. Using the convenience sampling method, the online questionnaire was distributed to higher education students (aged 18 and over) and enrolled in a higher education institution. The final dataset consisted of 31,212 responses from 133 countries and 6 continents. The data may prove useful for researchers studying the pandemic’s impacts on various aspects of student life. Policymakers can utilize the data to determine the best solutions as they formulate policy recommendations and strategies to support students during this and any future pandemic.

Mobile devices especially smartphones have gained high popularity and become a part of daily life in recent years. Smartphones have built-in motion sensors such as accelerometer, gyroscope and orientation sensors. Recent researches on smartphones show that behavioral biometrics can be obtained from the smartphone motion sensors. In this context, we develop an Android application that collects accelerometer sensor data while user playing a game. This application records all accelerometer data and touch event information while users touch the screen. We perform two experiments and collect two different data using this application. In the first experiment, we collect data from 107 child users whose age vary from 4 to 11, and 100 adult users whose age are between 16 and 55. This dataset includes more than 11.000 taps data for child and adult users, in total. In the second experiment, data is collected from 60 female and 60 male users aged 17-57 for different activities like sitting and walking. There are more than 6.000 taps data for sitting and walking scenarios separately in the second dataset. We use popular Android smartphones in the experiments and they have all 100 Hz sampling rate. These data can be used for behavioral biometric analyses such as user age group and gender detection, user identification and authentication or tap event detection.

This paper focuses on the soil organic matter, SOM, sensitivity to extreme temperatures and intends to relate it to soil organic matter properties which could be attached to the recalcitrance and lability of the organic substrates. The soil samples were collected in oak forests ecosystems in Ireland (Samples DC, G and K) and UK (Samples ROG, BW and NF) and represents the organic matter from different soil horizons: LF samples from the soil surface; the mineral soil under, M samples; and in the case of the samples from Ireland, an intermediate H layer in between LF and M horizons (H samples). SOM thermal properties were provided by simultaneous thermogravimetry (TG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) (TG-DSC) in an attempt of parametrizing SOM recalcitrance by the red-ox state. This is connected to the response of the soil samples to increasing and decreasing temperatures, measured by calorimetry as the heat rate of SOM decomposition. The calorimeter used is a model TAM III that allows the direct monitoring of the heat rates at different temperatures. The simultaneous TG-DSC gave the different soil thermal fractions of the samples and their heat of combustion, QSOM, values, connected to the degree of reduction of organic substrates by well-known principles. Here we attach the raw tabulated data from the TG-DSC measurements for all the samples used in this work as supplementary material S1. They are Excel files with columns representing, from left to right, time in seconds, temperature in Celsius degrees, the heat released in mW and the weight lost in mg. TAM III allows us to design a calorimetric heat wave and to monitor the heat rate from the soil samples at increasing temperatures from 20 ºC to 30, 40, 50 and 60 ºC, and to decreasing temperatures from 60ºC to 40 and 20 ºC. By this procedure we can compare which samples resist or do not resist the heat wave and to link it to their red-ox state by different statistical analysis. All the raw tabulated data from the calorimetric design with TAM III are provided here too, together with their baselines, as supplementary material S2. The Excel files show the heat flow rate in watts and joules at the different temperatures of the measurement. The files S2a are the data from UK LF samples, S2b the ones from UK Mineral samples, S2c are the calorimetric data from Irish LF samples, S2d the Irish H samples, and S2e the Irish M samples. Samples S2f and S2g are the baselines with the empty ampoules used in the calorimetric measurements, detailed for every experiment in the first folder of the Excel files. All the details dealing with the samples are explained in the paper.

Dataset for 16 parameters of ten thunderstorm ground enhancements (TGEs) allowing recovery of electron energy spectra and estimation the structure of the electric field above earth’s surface A.Chilingarian G.Hovsepyan The atmospheric electric field not only initiates lightning flashes but also originates huge fluxes of electrons and gamma rays incident on the earth’s surface. To reach a complete understanding of both phenomena and to find new and easily measured indicators of the global change in the climate system, the monitoring of the atmospheric electric fields is vitally demanded. Commercially available electric field meters are monitoring the near-surface (NS) atmospheric electric field worldwide in different weather conditions. Special sensors are designed for airborne measurements of the electric field profile with meteorological balloon systems. However, balloon measurements are rare and very slow (20-40 minutes to traverse a storm), performing measurements along the uncontrolled and random flight path, balloons are often taken away by the wind or occasionally destroyed by a lightning flash. However, till now balloon soundings provide the only available data to sample the depth of a storm. Based on these measurements overall understanding was reached that a strong electric field above 1.0 kV/cm started on heights above 1-2 km from the earth's surface. Large electric fields were measured well above 2 km over the ground. Although we cannot expect the same behavior at different destinations, the overall understanding in the atmospheric physics community is that strength of the electric field at altitudes below 2 km above ground is well below the critical energy necessary for a runaway process (accelerating and multiplying electrons from the ambient population of cosmic rays). The electron energy spectra measured at Aragats at an altitude of 3200, in this concern, are attributed to the Compton scattered electrons originated by a “gamma ray beam”, from the relativistic electron-gamma ray cascades unleashed high in the atmosphere. In the posted dataset we demonstrate that, at Aragats, a strong accelerating electric field can be continued almost to the earth’s surface. We present 10 TGE events observed in 2018-2021 allowing recovering electron energy spectra and estimating the heights of the termination of the strong electric field above the ground. The estimates vary from 10 to 150 m above ground, thus the electric field can reach ≈ 2.0 kV/cm at altitudes 3200 – 3350 m.
