The aim of this study was to analyze the movie "Hachiko: A Dog's Story" in terms empathy and solidarity with animals. For purpose, scenes were interpreted on basis empathic reactions towards animals (cognitive affective; self/other-oriented) (emotions behaviors such as attachment, belonging, intimacy, cooperation). is about attachment between a dog human, it encourages viewers understand attach...

An exploratory study examined the origins of children's motivational patterns in the family by observing 3rd-grade children (10 helpless and 11 mastery-oriented) and their mothers performing a series of solvable and insolvable problem-solving tasks. Mothers of mastery children appeared to show sensitivity and responsiveness to their children's ability perceptions and requests for help. They als...

There is a need to understand better the complex interrelationship between the adoption of masculinity during adolescence and the development of early romantic and sexual relationships. The purpose of this study was to describe features of adolescent masculinity and how it is expressed in the contexts of early to middle adolescent males' romantic and sexual relationships. Thirty-three 14- to 16...

Angiogenic sprouts require coordination of endothelial cell (EC) behaviors as they extend and branch. Microtubules influence behaviors such as cell migration and cell-cell interactions via regulated growth and shrinkage. Here we investigated the role of the mitotic polarity protein LGN in EC behaviors and sprouting angiogenesis. Surprisingly, reduced levels of LGN did not affect oriented divisi...

Large and distributed environments usually generate huge amounts of information. The easiest way to deal with this information in an uncoupled and asynchronous way is using event oriented approaches. These systems are usually implemented to react to the generated information. This paper presents a new track to add to these architectures a mechanism to discover behaviors combined with a reasonin...

Interventions to change everyday behaviors often attempt to change people’s beliefs and intentions. As the authors explain, these interventions are unlikely to be an effective means to change behaviors that people have repeated into habits. Successful habit change interventions involve disrupting the environmental factors that automatically cue habit performance. The authors propose two potenti...

Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms often suffer from criticism for the local optimum and premature convergence. In order to overcome these inherent shortcomings shared by most ACO algorithms, we divide the ordinary ants into two types: the utilizationoriented ants and the exploration-oriented ants. The utilization-oriented ants focus on constructing solutions based on the learned experien...

The context-aware application’s main feature is that the program can adjust its behavior according to the context environment. In the traditional object-oriented model, behaviors related to the context may be separated through branching statement, thus greatly reducing the degree of adaptation to environmental changes. This paper, after analyzing the issue of programming context-aware applicati...

As customers' needs have changed rapidly, market orientation has become a more primary focus of marketing literature. This study explores the strategies market-oriented suppliers use to accommodate customer needs. In addition, because buyer–seller relationships proceed through phases characterized by distinct behaviors, this study explores the relationship between market orientation and accommo...
