In this dataset:

We present temporally dynamic population distribution data from the Helsinki Metropolitan Area, Finland, at the level of 250 m by 250 m statistical grid cells. Three hourly population distribution datasets are provided for regular workdays (Mon – Thu), Saturdays and Sundays. The data are based on aggregated mobile phone data collected by the biggest mobile network operator in Finland. Mobile phone data are assigned to statistical grid cells using an advanced dasymetric interpolation method based on ancillary data about land cover, buildings and a time use survey. The data were validated by comparing population register data from Statistics Finland for night-time hours and a daytime workplace registry. The resulting 24-hour population data can be used to reveal the temporal dynamics of the city and examine population variations relevant to for instance spatial accessibility analyses, crisis management and planning.

The article "A systematic review of the educational use of mobile phones in times of COVID-19" aims to review what research has delved into the educational use of mobile phones during the COVID-19 pandemic. To do this, 38 papers indexed in the Journal Citation Reports database between 2020 and 2021 were analyzed. These works were categorized into the following categories: the mobile phone as part of educational innovation, improvement of results and academic performance, positive attitude towards mobile phone use in education, and risks and/or barriers to mobile phone use. The conclusions show that most teaching innovation experiences focus more on the device than on the student. Beyond its innovative nature, the mobile phone became a tool to allow access and continuity of training during the pandemic, especially in post-compulsory and higher education.

This data set is composed of the table with the references used for the review.

Dataset Info:

MyDigitalFootprint (MDF) is a novel large-scale dataset composed of smartphone embedded sensors data, physical proximity information, and Online Social Networks interactions aimed at supporting multimodal context-recognition and social relationships modelling in mobile environments. The dataset includes two months of measurements and information collected from the personal mobile devices of 31 volunteer users by following the in-the-wild data collection approach: the data has been collected in the users' natural environment, without limiting their usual behaviour. Existing public datasets generally consist of a limited set of context data, aimed at optimising specific application domains (human activity recognition is the most common example). On the contrary, the dataset contains a comprehensive set of information describing the user context in the mobile environment.

The complete analysis of the data contained in MDF has been presented in the following publication:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1574119220301383?via%3Dihub

The full anonymised dataset is contained in the folder MDF. Moreover, in order to demonstrate the efficacy of MDF, there are three proof of concept context-aware applications based on different machine learning tasks:

1. A social link prediction algorithm based on physical proximity data,
2. The recognition of daily-life activities based on smartphone-embedded sensors data,
3. A pervasive context-aware recommender system.

For the sake of reproducibility, the data used to evaluate the proof-of-concept applications are contained in the folders link-prediction, context-recognition, and cars, respectively.

To rapidly monitor recent changes in the use of telemedicine, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) and the Health Resources and Services Administration’s Maternal and Child Health Bureau (HRSA MCHB) partnered with the Census Bureau on an experimental data system called the Household Pulse Survey. This 20-minute online survey was designed to complement the ability of the federal statistical system to rapidly respond and provide relevant information about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. The U.S. Census Bureau, in collaboration with five federal agencies, launched the Household Pulse Survey to produce data on the social and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on American households. The Household Pulse Survey was designed to gauge the impact of the pandemic on employment status, consumer spending, food security, housing, education disruptions, and dimensions of physical and mental wellness. The survey was designed to meet the goal of accurate and timely estimates. It was conducted by an internet questionnaire, with invitations to participate sent by email and text message. The sample frame is the Census Bureau Master Address File Data. Housing units linked to one or more email addresses or cell phone numbers were randomly selected to participate, and one respondent from each housing unit was selected to respond for him or herself. Estimates are weighted to adjust for nonresponse and to match Census Bureau estimates of the population by age, sex, race and ethnicity, and educational attainment. All estimates shown meet the NCHS Data Presentation Standards for Proportions.

This dataset contains two significant mobile gestures for brain-mobile phone interfaces (BMPIs: (i) motor imagery of tapping on the screen of a mobile device and (ii) motor imagery of swiping down with a thumb on the screen of a mobile device. The raw EEG signals were recorded using the Emotiv EPOC Flex (Model 1.0) headset with saline-based sensors and Emotiv Pro (2.5.1.227) software. The sampling rate is 128 Hz. Each epoch contains 3.5 s signals. The first 1 s signal is recorded before the MI task starts (5 s to 6 s interval in the timing plan), and the next 2.5 s signal is recorded during the MI execution (6 s to 8.5 s interval in the timing plan). Please refer to the reference study below for details.The file names are constructed as follows. For example, taking "D01_s1" and "D01" in the file name refers to subject "01", and "s1" refers to session 1 ("s2" refers to session 2). The label data is given in a separate folder in Matlab format.The data is provided in two different forms for use (the desired is preferable):The set_files folder contains the data prepared for import in EEGLAB. EEGLAB must be installed, and the set files must be imported to access the data. The data is in epoched format in 3D (channels, sample_points, trials). With the EEGLAB interface, all the data can be accessed, and EEGLAB functions can be executed. Also, the EEG variable, which is built after importing the *.set file, contains all the information about the experiment. With the EEG.data variable, epoched data in the dimensions (channels, sample_points, trials) can be accessed.The mat_files folder contains data in mat file format. In these files, epoched data is stored in a 3-D array of size (channels, sample_points, trials). You can access the data as follows. For example, all data from the first session of subject D01 can be retrieved as follows. Load the mat file with the load('D01_s1.mat') code, and access the data using the EEG variable in the workspace. For instance, 13x448 x101 sized epoched data (channels, sample_points, trials) can be retrieved with the command EEG.data. Other information about the experiments and subjects is also included in the fields of the EEG variable.This research was supported by the Turkish Scientific and Research Council (TUBITAK) under project number 119E397.The following article must be used in academic studies with reference.
