Little evidence for cultural differences in automatic imitation

Individuals tend to automatically imitate others' actions. Such imitative behavior is often assumed to be a universal phenomenon. However, most prior research has focused on Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich, and Democratic (WEIRD) populations, leaving open whether people a...

Unified Physics Through Discrete Pulsation Dynamics: The Autocorrelative Phase Identity

The Hanowski-Formalism establishes a normalized, dimensionless, and substitutional mathematical framework for non-local field dynamics, demonstrating that macroscopic spacetime structures merely emerge from the finite transduction inefficiencies of a classical observer, causing f...

Multimodal Healthcare in the Metaverse: Integrating Multimedia Information Retrieval, Physiological Sensing, and Markerless Kinematic Analytics Within the CareSync Framework

Recent advances in immersive computing and artificial intelligence have enabled the development of adaptive, human-centered digital healthcare systems. This paper presents CareSync, an emotion-aware, data-driven architecture for personalized interventions and Multimedia Informati...

Breaking Symmetry: A New Directionality Criterion for Regularity Theories of Causation

Abstract It is one of the most frequent criticisms of regularity theories of causation that they cannot distinguish between causes and effects based on Boolean determination relations of sufficiency and necessity alone—jeopardizing their goal of reducing causation to Boolean dete...

Developing an Inventory of Workplace Stress Coping Strategies Among Autistic Adults: A Grounded Delphi Study

Abstract Background Stress levels are often elevated among autistic people, a pattern that also extends to the workplace. Effective coping strategies can reduce the negative impact of stress on work retention and overall wellbeing. However, the unique coping strategies of autisti...

On the separability of target and distractor processing in conflict tasks

By orthogonally pairing relevant and irrelevant information, conflict tasks entail an inverse problem: Are congruency effects shaped by distractor strength, target strength, or both? This fundamental question has received mixed empirical answers, leaving it unclear whether congru...

DECIDER-2: Prospective randomized multicenter phase III trial of decitabine and venetoclax administered in combination with all-trans retinoic acid or placebo in patients with acute myeloid leukemia who are ineligible for induction chemotherapy

Abstract Background Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is predominantly a disease of older patients with a poor long-term survival. Approval of the combination of venetoclax (VEN) with azacitidine (AZA) or decitabine (DAC) in the European Union in 2021 for the treatment of patients wit...

Prosociality in times of war: Shared moral positions foster prosociality across national borders

In times of severe intergroup conflict, cross-national interactions are shaped by social categorization along national and moral dimensions. Yet, little is known about how these co-occurring identities jointly shape prosocial behavior. Across three studies (total N = 1178), we ex...
