The exam results consist of a score divided into points received on answers to the written exam and on points that each student was able to obtain from optional hand-in assignments before the written exam (quizzes). The material also contains information about the exam results from the two immediately preceding modules on the same course and at the same course instance. The data have been used to examine the extent to which the quizzes have affected the result on the final written exam and the extent to which the outcome has been affected by the examination result on the two immediately preceding modules. Exam results from 458 students at a Swedish university, collected from ten course instances over eleven years, 2010-2020. Data have been collected from correction protocols 2010-2017 and from LADOK (Local Edp based documentation system) 2018-2020, after which the data have been anonymized. The variables are: study group, student category, examinee, sex and five outcome variables Thu, 26 Jan 2023 15:06:42 GMT https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue/dataset/2021-103-1 https://researchdata.se/en/catalogue/dataset/2021-103-1 Karlstad University Mikael Svanberg The data file is the raw data collected in Fiby urskog, south Sweden in order to perform a paleoecological study, covering ca 7000 years, using pollen analysis, including spores, charcoal fragments and mineral particles from a small wetland basin. 14C dating, diatom analysis and shore displacement data aided in dating the vegetation succession. Indicators of human impact and other disturbances, during the last ca 1000 years, are given particular attention as well as Picea immigration. Pollen was extracted from the sediment with a Russian peat corer (diameter 5 cm) every 2.5 cm down to ca 100 cm. Standard acetolysis method was used to extract pollen and spores. Treatment with hydrofluoric acid was performed on the lowermost part of the sediment to separate the large number of mineral particles.

The information is presented as cited text, together with the date and geographical region for which the information is relevant. Since the database essentially consists of excerpts from different historical documentary sources of various kinds (Institutional chronicles, accountings, private weather diaries etc) the language is Swedish, though citations of original texts are occasionally given in other languages whenever relevant and when other languages were originally used. See the Swedish description for more information. The database contains a large number of contemporary descriptions for the period 1500–1870 from various types of documents — direct observations in diaries, administrative notes on activities that have been affected by weather conditions, letter collections, newspaper articles, etc. — of weather conditions in Sweden within current borders. ** Database file structure and content: The database is collected in a spreadsheet (xlsx). The same information is also presented in a semicolon-separated text file (csv) (character set: Western Europe, ISO-8859-15 / EURO). File size: 1.6 MB (xlsx) and 4.1 MB (csv). The number of file rows, including the title row, is 20896. In addition to the data file itself, the dataset also contains a source list in xlsx format. The file has two pages: "Otryckta källor" (unprinted sources) and "Bibliografi" (bibliography). The same information is also presented in two comma-separated csv files (character set: Western Europe, ISO-8859-15 / EURO). The main database file contains information in eight columns with the following headings (here also translated to English): * År (year) * Månad (month) * Dag (day) * Annan tidsangivelse (other time indication) * Område (area) * Väder (weather) * Källa (source) * Ytterligare hänvisning/information (additional reference / information) The database main language is Swedish. Quotations of writings in old language are generally preserved as in their original spellings. For a more detailed description of the database content, please see the Swedish data description. ** Main sources and collection method: The data collection was performed by systematically reading through available archive material and literature relevant to the subject. Information that was considered to be of value for climate history was entered into the database, either as a quotation or in the form of comments, together with an indication of the source material for each individual item (row) in the database. Each such item refers to a more or less specified geographical location and either a specific date or an approximate time period. Data have been collected along three main channels: unprinted archive material, printed sources and literature. Unprinted archive material has been retrieved mainly from the National Archives. For the period 1500–1540, data comes mainly from the database of the "Svenskt diplomatariums huvudkartotek" (Sdhk) (Swedish diplomatarium's main file). For the time thereafter, data from, among others, the "Riksregistraturet" (national registry), a collection of copies of letters issued by the "kungliga kansliet" (royal chancellery), has been used. Several unprinted letters, diaries, accounts and reports have also been searched. A particularly extensive individual source is Märta Helena Reenstierna's (known as the Årsta lady) diaries from Årsta Gård in Stockholm, written during the period 1793–1839 and kept in the Nordic Museum's archives. These diaries contain a large number of notes on local weather conditions. More than half of all individual entries in the database originate from the Årsta diaries. Printed sources include editions of source publications such as Gustav Vasa's (King Gustav I of Sweden) letters in 29 volumes. There are also the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' Transactions which, among other things, contain meteorological observations. The category literature contains a number of local historical presentations. There are also early attempts at climate historical overviews and interpretations. Corporate history and military history literature have also been used. ** The roles of primary researchers during the construction of the database The main part of the work with building up the database was done during the period 2006–2010 by Johan Söderberg, Lotta Leijonhufvud, Dag Retsö and Ulrica Söderlind at the Department of Economic History, Stockholm University, under the leadership of Johan Söderberg. Curation of the database prior to publication in SND was carried out during 2019–2020 by Lotta Leijonhufvud in collaboration with Anders Moberg, Department of Physical Geography, Stockholm University. Previous, unpublished, versions of the database have been used in the following studies (see list of publications): - Edvinsson et al. (2009). Väder, skördar och priser i Sverige. - Leijonhufuvud et al. (2010). Five centuries of Stockholm winter/spring temperatures reconstructed from documentary evidence and instrumental observations. - Wetter et al. (2014). The year-long unprecedented European heat and drought of 1540 – a worst case. - Retsö (2015). Documentary evidence of historical floods and extreme rainfall events in Sweden 1400–1800.

New specimens are added continuously. The main bulk of the collection consists of ethanol-preserved specimens of marine benthic invertebrates (notably L.A. Jägerskiölds marine survey 1921-1938 and the Swedish Taxonomy Initiative´s marine survey 2004-2009), parasitic worms from the Swedish west coast (notably collections from Peter Olsson and Orvar Nybelin) and dry mollusc shells. However, there are both wet and dry preserved specimens of a wide array of taxa from the entire world.

New specimens are added continuously. Most of the birds and mammals are preserved as skins, while most fishes, amphibians and reptiles are preserved in alcohol. There are however, both wet and dry preserved specimens of a wide array of taxa from the entire world. The collections also include eggs and skeletons. The collection contains in total slightly less than 63 000 specimens, of which about half are birds. Fishes, amphibians & reptiles, and mammals are represented by roughly 10 000 specimens each. The bone collection contains about 18 000 skeletons, and the egg collection approximately 10 000 broods of which more than 1000 includes egg from common cuckoo, Cuculus canorus.

All children ≤18 years of age with a malignant disease in the Southern Swedish Health Care Region (approximately 1.8 million inhabitants) are referred for care to the Department of Pediatrics at the Skåne University Hospital in Lund. Patients with a newly diagnosed malignancy and patients visiting the clinics for follow-up after completed treatment were invited to participate in the study. The eligibility criteria include (a) a diagnosis before 19 years of age with a malignancy following codes ICD 140 to 209 and (b) a diagnosis after 1970. Blood samples are collected and the patients and their parents are requested to complete a self-reported questionnaire, assessing name, date of birth, date of death, and history of cancer among first-, second- and third degree relatives. In addition a question about cancer in more distant relatives is included. Information regarding specific type of cancer and date of, or age at, diagnosis for each relative with a history of cancer is obtained. Purpose: The aim is to create a family history data bank with DNA of all new cases of pediatric cancer, to enable gene studies. Family history data bank, based on all new and prevalent cancer cases in the Southern Swedish Health Care Region. Until 2014 there were 650 children included in the study, and blood from 125 parents. The response rate is between 30-40%.
