This research file includes data accessed from Prosecution Project records as part of a study of the prosecution and sentencing of inter-gender murder (male on female, and female on male) in NSW 1901-1955. The original records have been supplemented with more attributes including context of event, as well as biographical data for both defendants and victims. The research was directed by Carolyn Strange. The court data for the most part documents the full name of defendant, charge, plea, verdict, sentence and other outcome including appeals, as well as name of judge presiding at trial; other data in the file includes textual description of the homicide event, including location and use of weapons, as well as information about victim and defendant including age, sex and relationships between them. The data is a composite of trial court records documented in a register maintained by the Supreme Court of NSW and other data primarily sourced from newspaper reports More information about the main data sources in the Prosecution Project is available at the project web-site (https://prosecutionproject.griffith.edu.au/). The dataset is published to support further inquiry as well as to enable verification of the published research.

Popular political attitudes surveys have been conducted globally for several decades, but the Pacific region remains an exception. The Pacific Attitudes Survey (PAS) gauges the views of ordinary citizens on a range of questions related to democracy, economics, governance, tradition, climate change, social media and international relations. <br> <br> This dataset showcases a national representative sample of Samoans of voting-age (n=1319) conducted in Samoa from December 2020-January 2021.

Potters from three communities were instructed to faithfully reproduce four different model shapes with the thinnest walls possible using two different quantities of clay (0.75 kg or 2.25 kg), giving a total of eight experimental conditions. The four shapes (referred to as Cylinder, Bowl, Sphere, and Vase, respectively) were presented as pictures without providing any indication of the absolute dimensions to be produced. The four shapes were not part of any of the potters’ daily repertoire. Potters produced five specimens for each of the eight vessel types. The experimental sessions were video-recorded under standardized conditions using a Panasonic NV-GS320 camcorder. The camera was fixed on a tripod with lens orientation centered on the vertical rotation axis of the wheel. The camera was positioned at a height of 30 cm above the level of the wheel at a horizontal distance of 4-6 m. The lower edge of the video scene was aligned with the center of the wheel. The zoom was adapted to fully cover a 36-cm high by 42-cm wide calibration object (inverted T-shape) placed on the wheel at the start of each recording. For each trial, the images of the clay body profile after each fashioning gesture were extracted from the video frames (image resolution: 720 x 576 pixels; video sampling frequency: 25 fps). The first image captured the profile immediately following the (centering and opening) pre-forming phase and the last image captured the final profile; the intervening images captured the intermediate profiles during form development. This succession of profiles captured the vessel’s morphogenesis. The overall duration of the forming process was also analyzed. From the images, we extracted the 2D coordinates of the right half of the cross-sectional profiles by tracing them out on a Cintiq 21UX Wacom (Kazo, Japan) tablet with an integrated screen. The profile coordinates were converted from pixels to centimeters using a calibration factor obtained from the digitized dimensions of the calibration object. The profiles were re-sampled to generate an equal number of points at regular height intervals along the vertical (Y) axis and the resulting coordinates were smoothed with a low-pass filter. Because wheel-thrown vessels are typically axisymmetric, profiles were subsequently converted to full pot outlines by multiplying the horizontal (X) coordinates by -1 to create the corresponding left edge. Of the total 840 vessels thrown (twenty-one potters, each throwing five specimens of eight different vessel types), 12 vessels were not included due to problems with the video recording. # Data from: cultural attraction in pottery practice: group-specific shape transformations by potters from three communities --- Experimental data used in "Cultural attraction in pottery practice: group-specific shape transformations by potters from three communities". Methodological Information: see the manuscript methods section or the methods section of the Dryad dataset (DOI:10.5061/dryad.9ghx3ffpv) for details. Briefly, the dataset contains the two-dimensional outlines of the clay form as a function of time extracted from the video recordings of a cross-cultural experiment with 21 potters from three different cultural backgrounds (French and two Indian communities--Prajapati and Multani Kumhar). ## Description of the Data and file structure ## Summary Metrics * File count: 1 * Total file size: 713 MB * File formats: .mat ## Table of Contents * Pottery_Morphogenesis_Data.mat ## Setup * Unpacking instructions: n/a * Recommended software/tools: Matlab version 2023b. --- ## File/Folder Details ## Details for: Pottery\_Morphogenesis\_Data.mat * Description: Data of the two-dimensional outlines of the clay form as a function of time extracted from the video recordings of a cross-cultural experiment with 21 potters from 3 different cultural backgrounds (French and two Indian communities--Prajapati and Multani Kumhar) replicating 5 specimens of 4 model vessel types (cylinder, bowl, sphere, and vase) with 2 different quantities of clay (0.75 kg and 2.25 kg). * Format(s): .mat * Size(s): 713 MB * The table array "Pottery_Data" stores the following variables for each trial: * Potter: Potter ID and community (e.g., 'French9', 'Prajapati6'). * Type: The name of the model vessel type replicated and mass of clay used (e.g., 'Cylinder0.75', 'Vase2.25'). * Trial: Trial number (1-5). * Outline: Cell arrays that store multiple outlines (first column: the onset of the forming phase (t0), last column: the end of the forming phase) from each trial.

Pottery is a quintessential indicator of human cultural dynamics. Cultural alignment of behavioral repertoires and artifacts has been considered to rest upon two distinct dynamics: selective transmission of information and culture-specific biased transformation. In a cross-cultural field experiment, we tested whether community-specific morphological features of ceramic vessels would arise when the same unfamiliar shapes were reproduced by professional potters from three different communities who threw vessels using wheels. We analyzed the details of the underlying morphogenesis development of vessels in wheel throwing. When expert potters from three different communities of practice were instructed to faithfully reproduce common unfamiliar model shapes that were not parts of the daily repertoires, the morphometric variation in the final shape was not random; rather, different potters produced vessels with more morphometric variation among than within communities, indicating the presence of community-specific deviations of morphological features of vessels. Furthermore, this was found both in the final shape and in the underlying process of morphogenesis; there was more variation in the morphogenetic path among than within communities. These results suggest that the morphological features of ceramic vessels produced by potters reliably and nonrandomly diverge among different communities.

The dataset contains two .csv files with the results of two sets of perceptual tests (vowel discrimination and vowel identification) performed by 38-44 listeners who were Catalan speakers learning English as a foreign language. The participants were divided into three experimental groups according to the phonetic training they underwent (identification training, discrimination training or no training and were tested at three or four different points in time: pretest, posttest, posttest2 (only the control group) and delayed test. The dataset presents the different variables examined in the experiment (the crucial ones being testing time and word type) as well as other characteristics of the perceptual stimuli used in the task and the score obtained for each trial. Every row corresponds to the result for a given trial by a given speaker. SAS, 18
