Social gating of statistical learning in infants through interpersonal neural synchrony by Teo, Kai Xin

“…Infants of 8 to 10 months old (n = 18) were recruited and results showed that there were significant effects of eye- contact on neural synchrony (within-infant, within-adult, and infant-adult), but it was only found for within-infant synchrony in the full eye-contact condition. No significant findings were found between neural synchrony and statistical language learning. …”

Metal hydroxide catalyst for water splitting by Neo, Yu Chen

“…To assess the OER performance of the catalyst, we performed X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersive X-Ray Analysis (SEM-EDX), Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), Linear Sweep Voltammetry (LSV), Potentio Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (PEIS) measurement and stability tests. Based on our findings, Co2.5Mn0.5 is the optimal OER catalyst in terms of its OER activity and durability. …”

Social capital, fear of victimisation, prior victimisation : attitudes towards restorative justice in Singapore by Lee, Shu Min

“…However, participants with increased fear of victimisation perceived increased benefits of restorative justice for offenders and rated more support for participation in the restorative justice process as an offender. These findings not only suggest that attitudes may be influenced by other factors such as an individual’s belief in the growth mindset and Singaporeans’ resistance to change, but also that different stakeholders may possess varying attitudes towards restorative justice.…”

Tangible figurine story composer and narrator by Choo, Jin He

“…The results show that participants with no prior stop-motion background found both versions, designed for storytelling and story composition, more engaging than users with prior experience. Furthermore, the findings underline a strong preference for Version 2, which involves camera-based composition, in terms of ease of use, engagement levels, and intuitiveness when compared to Version 1, which relies on user interfaces. …”

Between parental practices and values: children’s free will beliefs are associated with their parents' autonomy granting but not authoritarian values by Lee, Clyde Jing Yi

“…When including both predicters and control variables in a regression model, parental autonomy granting was also found to uniquely contribute to children’s free will beliefs after controlling for children’s age, children’s gender, and parents’ gender. These findings underscore the importance of autonomy granting in fostering children’s understanding of choice and whether they can choose to do something that they do not like or something that is hard for them within the socio-cultural context of Singapore. …”

A study on social network in Singapore by Wang, Hao

“…From the analysis it is also implied that participants come in contacts with more people in transportation vehicles on weekdays than on weekends probably due to more crowed public transportations. The findings on the gender influence shows that gender makes no significant differences in deciding the number of days people put off taking actions or the time frame people continue going to work/school after they have flu symptom. …”

Enterprise content management solutions in the context of information lifecycle management (ILM). by Parameswari G. M.

“…This study has investigated whether ECM adopters have a tactical or strategic roadmap for the management of their information, whether their organisations have established new information management policies to cater to information stored in their ECM systems, whether various stakeholders from their organisations participate in decisions pertaining to management of the information in their ECM system, whether information is classified according to its financial value and the roles and responsibilities of those who manage information. Key findings of this study indicate that ECM solutions are largely implemented to cater to specific business needs and not necessarily with the intent to converge enterprise content into a single solution. …”
