title: Data and scripts of "A new gecko (Phyllodactylidae: Homonota whitii group) from the Diaguita highlands, Argentina, with an updated phylogeny for the genus"

description: The objectives of this study are to explore the biodiversity and evolutionary relationships within the genus Homonota in the South American Transition Zone (SATZ), particularly in the Diaguita District of northwestern Argentina. By combining genetic data from two mitochondrial and 12 autosomal loci with a detailed morphological dataset, the study aims to describe a new species of Homonota, assess its phylogenetic placement as the northernmost member of the H. whitii group, and highlight the region's status as a biodiversity hotspot. Additionally, the research seeks to update the molecular phylogenetic hypothesis for the genus, providing insights into the evolutionary and ecological dynamics of the SATZ.<br>Refer to the readme file to more information<br>

title: The tenth Scanlon Foundation Mapping Social Cohesion National Survey

description: Scanlon Foundation national surveys provide a series of detailed surveys on social cohesion, immigration and population issues. The surveys provide a reference point to understand pattern and extent of change, of the views held within the mainstream and within minorities. This 2017 Social Cohesion Survey involved 1,506 adults (aged 18 years and over), stratified by State/Territory and capital city / non-capital city. A dual-frame sample methodology was used involving two separate sample frames; one drawn from randomly generated (RDD) landline telephone numbers and a second drawn from randomly generated mobile phone numbers. The study covered a variety of topics, including economic conditions, political participation, socio-cultural attitudes, discrimination, local communities, and voluntary work. The questionnaire included 18 questions that are used for calculation of the Scanlon - Monash Index of Social Cohesion. In the 2017 Social Cohesion Survey, the telephone interviews of the National Survey (n=1,506) and Queensland residents (additional sample n=730 to achieve a total number of 1,000 respondents) were conducted within the one project, using the same methodology. This data file includes the National Survey respondents only.

title: Traffic Accident Data, New South Wales, 1991

description: This study was conducted to develop a statistical model of the prediction of the severity and type of motor vehicle accident injuries. This model could then be examined to determine which variables were most influential in the severity of injuries and these areas could be targetted by police to reduce the occurrence of serious injury and death. The data used consisted of observations of injuries sustained on NSW roads throughout 1991. It takes into account their relationship with several key factors, a few of which are generally well known, but several that are not. Main variables noted by police at the scene of the accident were such things as the use of seatbelts, vehicle make, type and age, speed of vehicle, seating position of caualty, blood alcohol reading, type of collision and time of day of accident.

The drug treatment and welfare agencies were able to obtain more detailed information on drug use and drug treatment while the police were able to obtain more detailed information on current and prior criminal charges. The main variables from the police questionnaire included: drug use; presenting/primary drug; prior criminal record; current criminal charges and drug charge types. The main variables from the drug agencies included: drug use; presenting/primary drug; mode of drug use; frequency of use; referral source and previous drug treatment. Background variables included: sex, residential area, marital status, age, country of birth, Aboriginal/non-Aboriginal, accommodation type, employment status, number of children under 18 and number of children under 18 living with the client.
