A study of partnering relationship between shipper and carrier in Singapore : issues, ranking and satisfaction by Koh, Yong Jie.

“…Fortunately, for the wet bulk segment, shippers and carriers concur largely on the top five attributes to develop further despite differences in mean-score ranking of the service attributes. This study underscores an evident lack of appreciation for shippers’ concerns by carriers as well as the deficiency in communications and coordination between the two major stakeholders of partnerships.…”

The effects of gender and gain versus loss frame on processing breast cancer screening messages by Kim, Hyo Jung

“…A 2 (male vs. female) x 2 (gain vs. loss) between-subject experiment was conducted using 128 African American participants (mean age = 45.9). The results showed that men and women processed the BCS messages with a different elaboration depth, and also perceived gain- versus loss-framed messages differently. …”

Altruism and natural selection in a variable environment by dos Santos, M, Downing, PA, Griffin, AS, Cornwallis, CK, West, SA

“…We found that a) helping did not consistently decrease the variance of reproductive success and often increased it, and b) the mean benefits of helping across environments consistently outweighed other variability components of reproductive success. …”

High altitude induced bilateral non-traumatic subdural hematoma by Ganau, L, Prisco, L, Ganau, M

“…While his anamnesis was surprisingly negative for head trauma, coagulopathies, or other common causes of subdural hematoma, he reported a curious history of 10-d onset of symptoms after a farewell disco party on a high-altitude location, almost 9000 ft (>2700 m) above mean sea level, followed by an intercontinental flight back to his seaside hometown. …”

Topography of social touching depends on emotional bonds between humans by Suvilehto, JT, Glerean, E, Dunbar, RIM, Hari, R, Nummenmaa, L
