Shared methods, procedures, documentation, and data are essential features of science. This observation is illustrated by autobiographical examples and, far more important, by the history of astronomy, geography, meteorology, and the social sciences. Unfortunately, though sometimes for understandable reasons, data sharing has been less common in psychological and medical research. The China Family Panel Study is an exemplar of contemporary research that has been designed from the outset to create a well-documented body of shared social-scientific data.

Objetivo: verificar a associação entre os fatores de risco e o desenvolvimento de sepse em pacientes cirúrgicos ou hemodinâmicos internados em uma unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) cirúrgica. Métodos: estudo de corte transversal, de abordagem retrospectiva, realizado na UTI cirúrgica de um hospital de grande porte, no período de janeiro a abril de 2018, com uma amostra final de 113 internamentos. Os dados foram coletados em prontuários, transcritos para formulários de coleta e, em seguida, tabulados e analisados por meio do programa Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), versão 22.0.Calcularam-se razão de prevalência (RP), Qui-quadrado de Pearson e teste exato de Fisher, considerando estatisticamente significantes os resultados com o valor de p<0,05. Resultados: a sepse teve uma prevalência de 8% na unidade de estudo e uma associação estatisticamente significativa com o tempo de internamento prolongado na UTI (RP=21,1; IC=2,759-162,316; p=0,000) e a ocorrência de óbito (RP=6,6; IC=2,375-18,357; p=0,005). Conclusão: os dados encontrados poderão estimular a realização de novas pesquisas, cooperando com a produção científica e a discussão sobre a temática, refletindo positivamente na prática assistencial, especialmente em terapia intensiva.

In this article, we, a team of scholars from Project Unpack, detail our process of successful cross-disciplinary collaboration. We include a discussion of the aims of our collaborative project, our process of collaboration and the roles of each individual organizer, the resources we used to support the collaboration, data sharing practices, and how our research approaches and methodologies have been influenced by engaging in collaborative research. Our collaboration has led us to record and develop a series of nexus points that bring people together, which enabled us to create space for people to tell their stories and listen to others.

Effective data management and data sharing are crucial components of the research lifecycle, yet evidence suggests that many social science graduate programs are not providing training in these areas. The current exploratory study assesses how U.S. masters and doctoral programs in the social sciences include formal, non-formal, and informal training in data management and sharing. We conducted a survey of 150 graduate programs across six social science disciplines, and used a mix of closed and open-ended questions focused on the extent to which programs provide such training and exposure. Results from our survey suggested a deficit of formal training in both data management and data sharing, limited non-formal training, and cursory informal exposure to these topics. Utilizing the results of our survey, we conducted a syllabus analysis to further explore the formal and non-formal content of graduate programs beyond self-report. Our syllabus analysis drew from an expanded seven social science disciplines for a total of 140 programs. The syllabus analysis supported our prior findings that formal and non-formal inclusion of data management and data sharing training is not common practice. Overall, in both the survey and syllabi study we found a lack of both formal and non-formal training on data management and data sharing. Our findings have implications for data repository staff and data service professionals as they consider their methods for encouraging data sharing and prepare for the needs of data depositors. These results can also inform the development and structuring of graduate education in the social sciences, so that researchers are trained early in data management and sharing skills and are able to benefit from making their data available as early in their careers as possible.

>> See video of presentation (19 min.) In economics - as in many other branches of the social sciences- collaboratively working on data and sharing data is not very common, yet. This is also reflected in the professions’ journals, where policies on data management and data sharing currently exist for a small minority of journals only.I would like to introduce the presentation with some empirical results of a survey, in which economists working for the project EDaWaX (European Data Watch, a project funded by the German Research Foundation) analysed the data sharing behaviour of 488 US and European applied economists. Subsequently we give an overview on data policies of journals in economics and business studies. In the course of the EDaWaX project, the data policies in a sample of more than 300 economics journals have been analysed. The talk suggests guidelines for data policies aiming to foster replication of published research and presents some characteristics of journals equipped with those data policies as well as the status quo in disseminating underlying research data of empirically based articles.Against this analytical background the talk identifies some challenges associated with the current e-infrastructure for providing publication-related research data by journals. The presentation also shows a technical solution for some of these challenges. In particular, the talk presents a pilot application for a publication-related data archive for scholarly journals in the social sciences, which has been developed in the first funding phase of the EDaWaX-project. The aim of this open source tool is to empower editors of scholarly journals to easily manage research data for empirically based articles in their journals. The application mainly targets open research data but is also capable of interlinking data and publications even in the case of confidential or proprietary data.In conclusion the talk outlines the further development of our application and sketches other tasks of the project’s second funding phase.More information on the project is available on www.edawax.de

Objective: to know the sociodemographic and clinical profile of people with urinary incontinence in an outpatient clinic of a University Hospital. Methods: cross-sectional study, using a semi-structured form with 63 women whowere awaiting care at the gynecology and urology outpatient clinics, between the months of July and August 2019. The data were processed in the software Statistical Package for the Social Sciences – SPSS 20.0. Results: interviews were carried out with women aged between 19 and 77 years. Of these, 55.6% maintained an active sex life; 85.7% had pre-existing disease; 69.8% presented urinary loss when coughing, sneezing, smiling, putting on weight and/or making efforts; 12.7% need to urinate as soon as they feel like it; and 17.5% had loss of urine in both situations. About 35% sought consultation due to low bladder and/or loss of urine; 27% had 4 to 5 pregnancies. Among the risk factors associated with urinary incontinence, 28.6% had diabetes mellitus, 61.9% had arterial hypertension, 82.5% used continuous medication, 11.1% was obese, 34.9% reported constipation problems and 74.6% underwent pelvic surgery. Conclusion: it was concluded that all women in the study had more than one risk factor for developing urinary incontinence, reinforcing their multifactoriality, as well as the importance of a holistic and multiprofessional treatment.

The letters of Paul speak more frequently of the resurrected and exalted Jesus than they do of the earthly Jesus. Nonetheless, this does not mean that the apostle and his addressees did not know the teachings and main events of Jesus’ life. Their insistence as to the heavenly identity of Jesus is as likely to have been motivated by contextual factors which guided the development of the primitive Christological confessions which Paul received in the years after his conversion. This article will focus on two of these factors: the configuration of the Christian communities of the Diaspora as foreign cults in a context of religious plurality and the new revelatory experiences which triggered the formation of a binitarian faith.Determining the relationship between Jesus and Paul is one of the fundamental tasks of those who, like Prof. Andries van Aarde, study the origins of Christianity and the beginnings of Christian theology. The basic question in this regard, at least as it has been formulated recently by David Wenham (1995), is whether Paul was a follower of Jesus or the founder of Christianity (see also Wedderburn [1989] and Barbaglio [2006]). In this brief article, I would like to consider one aspect of this general topic and to offer a few suggestions that might contribute to a better understanding of the peculiar vision of Jesus that we find in the letters of Paul. In them, in fact, the apostle moves from the incarnation to the death and resurrection, leaving in the shadows the activity and teaching of Jesus to which the gospels subsequently give so much importance.This contrast raises some questions concerning the knowledge which Paul had of the Jesus tradition and the value he accorded to it: What did he know about Jesus? Did he know the traditions which the evangelists later collected? Why does he not refer to them in his letters more frequently? By contrast, why does he give so much importance to the death and resurrection of Jesus and to Jesus’ divine condition?

Abstract. Factorial survey experiments are increasingly used in the social sciences to investigate behavioral intentions. The measurement of self-reported behavioral intentions with factorial survey experiments frequently assumes that the determinants of intended behavior affect actual behavior in a similar way. We critically investigate this fundamental assumption using the misdirected email technique. Student participants of a survey were randomly assigned to a field experiment or a survey experiment. The email informs the recipient about the reception of a scholarship with varying stakes (full-time vs. book) and recipient’s names (German vs. Arabic). In the survey experiment, respondents saw an image of the same email. This validation design ensured a high level of correspondence between units, settings, and treatments across both studies. Results reveal that while the frequencies of self-reported intentions and actual behavior deviate, treatments show similar relative effects. Hence, although further research on this topic is needed, this study suggests that determinants of behavior might be inferred from behavioral intentions measured with survey experiments.
