Incentives and impacts: dissecting individual and collective cheating in organizations by Riyanto, Yohanes Eko, Wang, Yuxin

“…They are honest when their deception cannot change the group's decision but more likely to cheat for a higher collective benefit. However, when their gain is tied only to their own actions, hiding their intent to cheat is futile, leading to consistent cheating behavior regardless of its impact on the group. …”

Conditional prosociality in development: deconstructing social and materialistic factors that modulate early prosocial behavior by Lee, Kristy Jia Jin

“…In terms of resource sharing, children behaved less selfishly toward the victim than the transgressor, but remained selfish by and large as they were not more likely than chance to share their resources with either actress. …”

Gene expression regulation by well-known non-coding RNAs by Tan, Jiazi

“…In one project, we attempted to insert a second Xist gene into the single X chromosome of male murine embryonic stem (ES) cells to cause ectopic XCI upon differentiation, leading to cell lethality as important X-linked genes were inactivated. From there, we could screen for genes important for XCI by rescuing the differentiated transgenic ES cells by gene silencing. …”

Joint modelling of longitudinal data: a scoping review of methodology and applications for non-time to event data by Ouko, RK, Mukaka, M, Ohuma, EO

“…The random effect was the most commonly applied association structure for linking two sub-models (63 studies; 85%). Estimation of model parameters was commonly done using Markov Chain Monte Carlo with Gibbs sampler algorithm (10 studies; 38%) for the Bayesian approach, whereas maximum likelihood was the most common (33 studies; 68.75%) for the frequentist approach. …”
