How clicktivism enables moral licensing : the effects of social observability and impression management on subsequent prosocial behaviour by Tan, Si Jin, Wang, Kelvin Wen Hsing, Ong, Kheng Hian

“…The social observability of an act of Clicktivism was found to have an influence on subsequent prosocial behaviour in which moral licensing effects were more pronounced in the private condition, as compared to those who did not sign a petition. Lastly, in the public condition, perceived success in impression management was introduced to explain the effects of moral licensing. …”

‘I don’t care who joins my choir’: investigating attitudes to diversity and inclusivity in lower- and upper-voice choirs in the United Kingdom by MacGregor, E

“…However, participation in lower- and upper-voice choirs is declining due to low recruitment rates, the ageing of members, and the lasting impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. In this article, we draw on the findings of a recent online survey of 907 participants in mixed-, lower-, and upper-voice choirs to examine the factors underlying these issues. …”

Social entrepreneurs as ecosystem catalysts: the dynamics of forming and withdrawing from a self-sustaining ecosystem by Savaget, P, Ozcan, P, Pitsis, T

“But some were more equal than others:” exploring inequality at Neolithic Çatalhöyük by Twiss, KC, Bogaard, A, Haddow, S, Milella, M, Taylor, JS, Veropoulidou, R, Kay, K, Knüsel, CJ, Tsoraki, C, Vasić, M, Pearson, J, Busacca, G, Mazzucato, C, Pochron, S

“…We perceive broadly similar access to staple foods, but not to goods less directly related to survival; relatively elevated income inequality during the middle portion of the site’s occupation, plausibly deliberately tamped down; and no evidence for institutionalized or lasting economic or social inequality. These findings shed light on Neolithic social dynamics and also contribute to broader discussions of inequality and the social ramifications of early agropastoralism. …”

Using CombiCells, a platform for titration and combinatorial display of cell surface ligands, to study T-cell antigen sensitivity modulation by accessory receptors by Patel, A, André, V, Bustamante Eguiguren, S, Barton, MI, Burton, J, Denham, EM, Pettmann, J, Mørch, AM, Kutuzov, MA, Siller-Farfán, JA, Dustin, M, van der Merwe, PA, Dushek, O

“…While TCR sensitivity was greatly enhanced by CD2 ligand, CAR sensitivity to CD19 was primarily but more modestly enhanced by LFA-1 ligand. Lastly, we show that the PD-1/ligand engagement inhibited T cell activation triggered solely by TCR/pMHC interactions, as well as the amplified activation induced by CD2 and CD28 co-stimulation. …”
