Values for self-build urbanism

Urbanism as Computation

Successful urban configurations are the result of a complex sequence of implicit computations that transform unorganized input into organized output. Although that is exactly what they do, few urbanists discuss their work in these terms. I propose a fundamental distinction between the principal methods of urban computation. One algorithmic process for urbanism leads to formal planning, which la...

NFATc1 self-promotes to build bone

Self-promotion is the way to get ahead during bone development, according to Asagiri and colleagues. They show on page 1261 that the inducible transcription factor NFATc1 must turn on its own expression for bone-resorbing osteoclasts to form. NFATc1 drives osteoclast-specific gene expression and is essential for the development of these cells in vitro. But whether NFATc1 is required in vivo was...

Values as Self-Guides 1 Running Head: VALUES AS SELF-GUIDES Cultural Differences in Values as Self-Guides

Three studies tested whether individualism–collectivism moderates the extent to which values are endorsed as ideal self-guides and ought self-guides, and the consequences for regulatory focus and emotion. Across Studies 1 and 2, individualists endorsed values that are relatively central to the self as stronger ideals than oughts, whereas collectivists endorsed them as ideals and oughts to a sim...
