People take preventive behaviors to keep themselves from harm and protect physical harm, psychological threats, or health issues. Previous studies have suggested that behavior trends are closely connected cultures values. However, the specific categories, their elements, differences between countries never been fully examined. Therefore, using a topic modeling approach analyze tweets across wor...

In this paper we explore early musical behaviors through the lenses of the recently emerged "4E" approach to mind, which sees cognitive processes as Embodied, Embedded, Enacted, and Extended. In doing so, we draw from a range of interdisciplinary research, engaging in critical and constructive discussions with both new findings and existing positions. In particular, we refer to observational re...

TCIF recognizes that its efforts are largely aimed at heterosexual behavior of truckers and do not adequately address MSM activities and related HIV risk. To design appropriate HIV/STI preventive strategies, TCIF requested the Population Council to undertake an exploratory study to fill in the gaps in the existing knowledge about the sexual behavior of truckers. Some of the key questions to be ...

Sniffing and whisking are two rhythmic orofacial motor activities that enable rodents to localize and track objects in their environment. They have related temporal dynamics, possibly as a result of both shared musculature and shared sensory tasks. Sniffing and whisking also constitute the overt expression of an animal's anticipation of a reward. Yet, the neuronal mechanisms that underlie the c...

Understanding and meeting the needs of a broad range of music users across different cultures and languages are central in designing a global music digital library. This exploratory study examines cross-cultural/multilingual music information seeking behaviors and reveals some important characteristics of these behaviors by analyzing 107 authentic music information queries from a Korean knowled...

Research on academic plagiarism has typically focused on students as the perpetrators of unethical behaviors, and less attention has been paid to academic researchers as likely candidates for such behaviors. We examined 279 papers presented at the International Management division of the 2009 Academy of Management conference for the purpose of studying plagiarism among academics. Results showed...

Weakly electric fish use active electrolocation - the generation and detection of electric currents - to explore their surroundings. Although electrosensory systems include some of the most extensively understood circuits in the vertebrate central nervous system, relatively little is known quantitatively about how fish electrolocate objects. We believe a prerequisite to understanding electroloc...
