Abstract:
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore a range of perspectives on the
relationship between research data and records and between recordkeeping
and research data management.
Design/methodology/approach
This paper discusses literature in the field of research data management as
part of preliminary work for the author’s doctoral research on the topic. The
literature included in the review reflects contemporary and historical
perspectives on the management and preservation of research data.
Findings
Preliminary findings indicate that records professionals have been involved in
the management and preservation of research data since the early twentieth
century. In the literature, research data is described as comparable to
records, and records professionals are widely acknowledged to have skills
and expertise which are applicable to research data management. Records
professionals are one of a number of professions addressing research data
management. However, they are not currently considered to be leaders in
research data management practice.
Originality/value
Research data management is an emerging challenge as stakeholders in the
research lifecycle increasingly mandate the publication of open, transparent
research. Recent developments such as the publication of the OCLC report
“The Archival Advantage: Integrating Archival Expertise into Management of
Born-digital Library Materials”, and the creation of the Research Data Alliance
Interest Group Archives and Records Professionals for Research Data
indicates that research data is, or can be, within the remit of records
professionals. This paper represents a snapshot of contemporary and
historical attitudes towards research data and recordkeeping and thus
contributes to this emerging area of discussion.

Training at the Gym, Training for Life: Creating Better
Versions of the Self Through Exercise
Eur J Psychol. 2015 Aug; 11(3): 442–458.
Published online 2015 Aug 20
Abstract
The present study draws on Scott’s (2011) notion of the Re-Inventive Institution and explores
how gym members make sense and give meaning to their exercise regime. Overall, it is argued
that for many participants gym exercise is more than physical training; it is also training for life.
Based on a thematic analysis of 32 semi-structured interviews it is argued that gym workout is a
means to create better versions of the self on mainly three levels. First, gym participants perceive
themselves to be efficient and productive in general. Second, gym training is believed to increase
the control they have over their lives. Third, gym members associate their gym workout with
amplified emotional resilience, believing that fitness workout makes them not only fitter in a
physical sense but also fitter and better equipped in a psychological sense. Surprisingly, a small
group of regular gym users displayed more critical sentiments and distanced themselves from the
images and values the gym stands for. The results of this study can be linked to broader political
discourses on health and fitness that make use of corporate managerial vocabularies and are
based on ideals of rationalization and efficiency.

Abstract
The purpose of this research study was to evaluate the effect of a weight loss program on individual participant
attendance, total club usage and membership attrition. This retrospective study involved a fitness gym located in Utah
County, Utah with a total membership of 1,100. The number of clients participating in the weight loss program
between December 2011 and May 2012 was 36 (32 females and 4 males). A total of 11 clients were analyzed for the
individual attendance data as this analysis was limited to only those clients who were gym members one year prior to
the implementation of the program. A comprehensive weight loss program was implemented in the gym between
December 2011 and May 2012. Six months of participant attendance, total club usage, and gym attrition data was
gathered before and after implementation of the program. The average monthly attendance before the program
implementation was 7.0 + 7.93 visits, while the average monthly attendance after the program implementation was
16.3 + 11.47 visits (an increase of 132%). This suggests that implementing a weight loss program in a gym can
increase individual participant attendance. Club usage decreased and attrition increased after implementing the
weight loss program, however, the changes were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).

Using Theory-Based Constructs to Explore
the Impact of Greek Membership on Alcohol-
Related Beliefs and Behaviors: A Systematic
Literature Review
Adam E. Barry PhD
Pages 307-315 | Published online: 07 Aug 2010
Abstract
By charter, national Greek organizations (ie, fraternities and sororities) place an
emphasis on upholding personal integrity, academic scholarship, and development of
campus leaders. Recent concerns, however, assert that the drinking behaviors of
members of Greek organizations are antithetical to the mission of their
universities. Objective: The author's purpose in this review was to systematically
examine scientific literature addressing the effect of Greek affiliation on alcohol-related
beliefs and behaviors. The internal and external influences affecting Greek members'
alcohol-related beliefs and behaviors are organized into a frame-work of various health
behavior theories, based on the ecological perspective's levels of influence. Results:
Results provide a broad perspective into the individual characteristics, social peer
network, and environmental aspects influencing alcohol-related behavior among Greek
members. Findings suggest that Greek members comprise a subgroup that consumes
alcohol in greater quantities, underscores and misperceives the risks of alcohol abuse,
and emulates a social environment and culture in which drinking alcohol is a key part of
life.

Abstract
Recent academic articles point to an increased vagueness and overlap in concepts related to
business ethics and corporate responsibility. Further, the perception of these notions can differ in
the small-business world from the original academic definitions. This article focuses on the
cognition of small-business owner-managers. Given the impact of small-business owner–
managers on their ventures, corporate responsibility and ethical issues can take a different route
in SMEs. The small-business owner–manager is able to shape the corporate culture and to enact
values other than profit. Adopting a cognitive perspective, we have identified how the small-
business owner–manager makes sense of notions linked to corporate social responsibility (CSR)
and business ethics. The concept of sensemaking has recently been applied to CSR (Basu and
Pallazzo, 2008; Cramer et al., 2006). Applying a cognitive perspective to small-business owners
may help in explaining specific phenomena found within small-business ownership. For this
research, the Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) is used, a method that has not previously been
widely applied in the business and society field.
Our findings to an extent invalidate the confusion in terminology found in the academic
literature. Small-business owner–managers, pragmatically and rather clearly, differentiate among
the various concepts related to corporate responsibility and business ethics but, at the same time,
they recognise the interrelationships and interdependencies of these concepts. These findings
contribute to a better understanding of how small-business owners think and integrate corporate
responsibility and ethical issues into their decision-making.

Abstract
Self-monitoring is the centerpiece of behavioral weight loss intervention programs. This
article presents a systematic review of the literature on three components of self-
monitoring in behavioral weight loss studies: diet, exercise, and self-weighing. This
review included articles that were published between 1993 and 2009 that reported on
the relationship between weight loss and these self-monitoring strategies. Of the 22
studies identified, 15 focused on dietary self-monitoring, one on self-monitoring
exercise, and six on self-weighing. A wide array of methods was used to perform self-
monitoring; the paper diary was used most often. Adherence to self-monitoring was
reported most frequently as the number of diaries completed or the frequency of log-ins
or reported weights. The use of technology, which included the Internet, personal digital
assistants, and electronic digital scales were reported in five studies. Descriptive
designs were used in the earlier studies whereas more recent reports involved
prospective studies and randomized trials that examined the effect of self-monitoring on
weight loss. A significant association between self-monitoring and weight loss was
consistently found; however, the level of evidence was weak because of methodologic
limitations. The most significant limitations of the reviewed studies were the
homogenous samples and reliance on self-report. In all but two studies, the samples
were predominantly white and women. This review highlights the need for studies in
more diverse populations, for objective measures of adherence to self-monitoring, and
for studies that establish the required dose of self-monitoring for successful outcomes.

Methods to assess relative reliability of diet records: minimum records
for monitoring lipid and caloric intake.
Jackson B, Dujovne CA, DeCoursey S , Beyer P , Brown EF, Hassanein K
Journal of the American Dietetic Association [01 Nov 1986, 86(11):1531-1535]
Type: Research Support, Non-U.S. Gov't, Journal Article
Abstract
A total of 252 diet records of 18 outpatients attending a lipid clinic were analyzed by a
computer-assisted method to determine the minimum number of daily diet records that
would be reliable for monitoring dietary adherence. Each subject recorded food intake in
special diaries for 14 consecutive days between two clinic visits. All possible randomly
selected combinations of 3, 4, 5, 7, 9, and 11 consecutive days of records in the 14-day
period were analyzed for calories and lipids. Sets of records were said to be within a 95%
confidence interval when the information yielded on any parameter differed by 5% or less
from the mean values for the entire 14 days' records. All sets of records for 7, 9, and 11
days were in the 95% confidence range; therefore, 7 consecutive days of food recording
were considered the minimum requirement for a 95% confidence limit. Out of 11 possible
combinations of 4 consecutive day-sets of records, all but 3 sets were within 95%
confidence limits. Consequently, 4 consecutive days of records were deemed acceptable as
a reasonable compromise for minimal, reliable monitoring of diet compliance in outpatients
for the nutrients studied.

Abstract
This paper presents evidence on income-related inequalities in self-assessed health in
nine industrialized countries. Health interview survey data were used to construct
concentration curves of self-assessed health, measured as a latent variable.
Inequalities in health favoured the higher income groups and were statistically
significant in all countries. Inequalities were particularly high in the United States and
the United Kingdom. Amongst other European countries, Sweden, Finland and the
former East Germany had the lowest inequality. Across countries, a strong association
was found between inequalities in health and inequalities in income.

Green supply‐chain management: A state‐of‐the‐art literature review
Samir K. Srivastava
First published: 28 February 2007
Abstract
There is a growing need for integrating environmentally sound choices into supply‐chain
management research and practice. Perusal of the literature shows that a broad frame of
reference for green supply‐chain management (GrSCM) is not adequately developed. Regulatory
bodies that formulate regulations to meet societal and ecological concerns to facilitate growth of
business and economy also suffer from its absence. A succinct classification to help
academicians, researchers and practitioners in understanding integrated GrSCM from a wider
perspective is needed. Further, sufficient literature is available to warrant such classification.
This paper takes an integrated and fresh look into the area of GrSCM. The literature on GrSCM
is covered exhaustively from its conceptualization, primarily taking a ‘reverse logistics angle’.
Using the rich body of available literature, including earlier reviews that had relatively limited
perspectives, the literature on GrSCM is classified on the basis of the problem context in supply
chain's major influential areas. It is also classified on the basis of methodology and approach
adopted. Various mathematical tools/techniques used in literature vis‐à‐vis the contexts of
GrSCM are mapped. A timeline indicating relevant papers is also provided as a ready reference.
Finally, the findings and interpretations are summarized, and the main research issues and
opportunities are highlighted.

Application of data mining techniques in customer
relationship management: A literature review and
classification
Date: March 2009
Abstract
Despite the importance of data mining techniques to customer relationship management
(CRM), there is a lack of a comprehensive literature review and a classification scheme
for it. This is the first identifiable academic literature review of the application of data
mining techniques to CRM. It provides an academic database of literature between the
period of 2000–2006 covering 24 journals and proposes a classification scheme to
classify the articles. Nine hundred articles were identified and reviewed for their direct
relevance to applying data mining techniques to CRM. Eighty-seven articles were
subsequently selected, reviewed and classified. Each of the 87 selected papers was
categorized on four CRM dimensions (Customer Identification, Customer Attraction,
Customer Retention and Customer Development) and seven data mining functions
(Association, Classification, Clustering, Forecasting, Regression, Sequence Discovery
and Visualization). Papers were further classified into nine sub-categories of CRM
elements under different data mining techniques based on the major focus of each
paper. The review and classification process was independently verified. Findings of
this paper indicate that the research area of customer retention received most research
attention. Of these, most are related to one-to-one marketing and loyalty programs
respectively. On the other hand, classification and association models are the two
commonly used models for data mining in CRM. Our analysis provides a roadmap to
guide future research and facilitate knowledge accumulation and creation concerning
the application of data mining techniques in CRM.

Data validity and coverage in the Danish National Health Registry. A
literature review
Ugeskrift for Laeger [01 Dec 2001, 164(1):33-37]
Type: Review, Journal Article, English Abstract (lang: dan)
Abstract
The Danish National Health Register (DNHR) has existed since 1977. It receives
information about all patients admitted to hospitals in Denmark, including administrative
data as well as information about treatment/diagnosis. This makes the DNHR very
interesting for research. The history of the DNHR, its structure and its way of functioning are
described briefly. All existing surveys concerning the validity of the data in the DNHR are
discussed and compared to that of other countries, primarily the Nordic countries. The
conclusion is that the validity of the administrative data and the overall data concerning
treatment is fine (66-99%). But these figures conceal large differences in specific
diagnoses. Work with selected data requires the data to be confirmed in another registry or
at the primary source. Future changes in the DNHR are summed up at the end.
