The role of perceived stress and gender on portion selection patterns by Cheon, Bobby Kyungbeom, Lim, E. X., Sim, A. Y., Forde, C. G.

“…Additionally, for females, increased perceived stress was associated with lowered expectations of the satiety of foods presented, suggesting a potential mechanism by which stress may influence decisions about portion size. These findings reveal that the potentially obesogenic effects of stress on food judgments and behaviours (particularly among females) are not only expressed within meals, but also during more deliberate stages of planning that precedes meals.…”

Asymmetric pathways in the electrochemical conversion reaction of NiO as battery electrode with high storage capacity by McDermott, Eamon, Shukla, Alpesh K., Yi, Tanghong, Boesenberg, Ulrike, Marcus, Matthew A., Teh, Pei Fen, Srinivasan, Madhavi, Moewes, Alexander, Cabana, Jordi

“…NiO was chosen as a simple model system. The most important finding is that the voltage hysteresis has its origin in the differing chemical pathways during reduction and oxidation. …”

Enhancing interlaminar fracture characteristics of woven CFRP prepreg composites through CNT dispersion by Joshi, Sunil Chandrakant, Dikshit, Vishwesh

“…The presence of nanotubes increased fiber bridging within the ply interfaces, which in turn controlled the inter-ply crack propagation. The findings and the mechanisms are discussed using the test data, SEM pictures, schematics, and scans of the fractured surfaces.…”

Foreign direct investment inflows and economic growth in Singapore : an empirical approach by Le, Ha-Chi, Le, Thai-Ha

“…The results show that, while there are multiple drivers of the country’s economic growth in the short run, only FDI and exports are long-term determinants of Singapore’s economic growth. The findings suggest that FDI plays a crucial role in assisting the country’s economic development and the results are relatively robust to different measures of trade and finance. …”

Enhancing the learning effectiveness of ill-structured problem solving with online co-creation by Pee, Loo Geok

“…Results indicate that solution co-creation and solution sharing enhance cognitive learning (e.g. perceived knowledge about a subject topic), while decision co-creation enhances epistemic learning (e.g. perceived understanding of criteria of knowing). The findings demonstrate the value of online co-creation and they pave the way for more research on online co-creation in other collaborative pedagogical practices such as co-skilling.…”

An interdisciplinary study of the plumbing system and eruption dynamics at Marapi volcano (Sumatra, Indonesia) by Nurfiani, Dini

“…Third, I analyzed three recent eruptions for their spectral content, source location, seismic energy, and volcanic ash characteristics to gain insights on the fragmentation mechanism. The findings from this study can bring insights that are relevant for other similar arc volcanoes and their phreatic eruptions.…”

Advertising primed: how professional identity affects moral reasoning by Schauster, Erin, Ferrucci, Patrick, Tandoc, Edson C., Walker, Tara

“…While professional identity was not a significant predictor of moral reasoning, an interaction effect between gender and identity priming occurred. This finding suggests that we reconsider moral psychology theory’s explanatory power for media practitioners and consider how the complexity of professional identities in concert with gender and professional training, among other variables, interact to affect moral reasoning. …”

The curse of class imbalance and conflicting metrics with machine learning for side-channel evaluations by Picek, Stjepan, Heuser, Annelie, Jovic, Alan, Bhasin, Shivam, Regazzoni, Francesco

“…Next, we provide extensive results on comparison of machine learning and side-channel metrics, where we show that machine learning metrics (and especially accuracy as the most often used one) can be extremely deceptive. This finding opens a need to revisit the previous works and their results in order to properly assess the performance of machine learning in side-channel analysis.…”

From ideological to political sectarianism: Nahdlatul Ulama, Muhammadiyah, and the state in Indonesia by Arifianto, Alexander R.

“…This contribution applies the sectarianisation thesis of Hashemi and Postel to analyse renewed political sectarianism between Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) and Muhammadiyah, the two largest Indonesian Islamic organisations. It finds that while distinct ideologies and rituals do distinguish these organisations one from another, recent conflicts between the two organisations can be attributed to political-based sectarianism rather than an ideological-based one. …”

Ecosystem productivity has a stronger influence than soil age on surface soil carbon storage across global biomes by Plaza, César, García-Palacios, Pablo, Berhe, Asmeret Asefaw, Barquero, Jesús, Bastida, Felipe, Png, Kenny Guochen, Rey, Ana, Bardgett, Richard D., Delgado-Baquerizo, Manuel

“…Conversely, soil carbon in low productivity, drier and colder ecosystems was dominated by mineral-protected carbon, and was less responsive to warming. Our findings emphasize the importance of conserving ecosystem productivity to protect carbon stored in surface soils.…”

Gender, gaming motives, and genre: comparing Singaporean, German, and American players by Ratan, Rabindra, Chen, Vivian Hsueh Hua, De Grove, Frederik, Breuer, Johannes, Quandt, Thorsten, Williams, James Patrick

“…Surveys were conducted with 634 university students from Singapore, Germany, and the United States. Overall, the findings suggest that many game motivations and genre choices differed by player gender, country, and the interaction between gender and country in some cases. …”

The model of norm-regulated responsibility for proenvironmental behavior in the context of littering prevention by Ai, Pengya, Rosenthal, Sonny

“…It also showed that strong injunctive norms can reduce the inhibitory effect of descriptive norms on ascription of responsibility. These findings were consistent with several hypotheses constituting the model of norm-regulated responsibility, a novel explanatory framework offering new insights and a more nuanced and comprehensive understanding of social norms' influence on proenvironmental behavior.…”

The effects of fear appeal message repetition on perceived threat, perceived efficacy, and behavioral intention in the extended parallel process model by Shi, Jingyuan (Jolie), Smith, Sandi W.

“…However, after the second exposure the proportions of both systematic and all message-related thoughts (relative to total thoughts) significantly decreased while the proportion of heuristic thoughts significantly increased, and this pattern held after the third exposure. The findings demonstrated that the predictions in the EPPM are likely to be operative after three exposures to a persuasive message.…”
