Lie prevalence, lie characteristics and strategies of self-reported good liars

Plos.org 

by Brianna L. Verigin, Ewout H. Meijer, Glynis Bogaard, Aldert Vrij

Meta-analytic findings indicate that the success of unmasking a deceptive interaction relies more on the performance of the liar than on that of the lie detector. Despite this finding, the lie characteristics and strategies of deception that enable good liars to evade detection are largely unknown. We conducted a survey (n = 194) to explore the association between laypeople’s self-reported ability to deceive on the one hand... Читать дальше...

Local risk perception enhances epidemic control

Plos.org 

by José L. Herrera-Diestra, Lauren Ancel Meyers

As infectious disease outbreaks emerge, public health agencies often enact vaccination and social distancing measures to slow transmission. Their success depends on not only strategies and resources, but also public adherence. Individual willingness to take precautions may be influenced by global factors, such as news media, or local factors, such as infected family members or friends. Here, we compare three modes of epidemiological decision-making... Читать дальше...

A leader-follower model for discrete competitive facility location problem under the partially proportional rule with a threshold

Plos.org 

by Wuyang Yu

When consumers are faced with the choice of competitive chain facilities that offer exclusive services, current rules do not properly describe the behavior pattern of these consumers. To eliminate the gap between the current rules and this kind of customers behavior pattern, the partially proportional rule with a threshold is proposed in this paper. A leader-follower model for discrete competitive facility location problem is established under the partially proportional rule with a threshold. Читать дальше...

Intrinsic group behaviour II: On the dependence of triad spatial dynamics on social and personal features; and on the effect of social interaction on small group dynamics

Plos.org 

by Francesco Zanlungo, Zeynep Yücel, Takayuki Kanda

In a follow-up to our work on the dependence of walking dyad dynamics on intrinsic properties of the group, we now analyse how these properties affect groups of three people (triads), taking also in consideration the effect of social interaction on the dynamical properties of the group. We show that there is a strong parallel between triads and dyads. Work-oriented groups are faster and walk at a larger distance between them than leisure-oriented ones... Читать дальше...

The KLDpT activation loop motif is critical for MARK kinase activity

Plos.org 

by Tim Sonntag, James J. Moresco, John R. Yates III, Marc Montminy

MAP/microtubule-affinity regulating kinases (MARK1-4) are members of the AMPK family of Ser/Thr-specific kinases, which phosphorylate substrates at consensus LXRXXSXXXL motifs. Within microtubule-associated proteins, MARKs also mediate phosphorylation of variant KXGS or ζXKXGSXXNΨ motifs, interfering with the ability of tau and MAP2/4 to bind to microtubules. Here we show that, although MARKs and the closely related salt-inducible... Читать дальше...



Visual inspection of vaccine storage conditions in general practices: A study of 75 vaccine refrigerators

Plos.org 

by Anika Thielmann, Marie-Therese Puth, Birgitta Weltermann

Introduction

Adequate vaccine storage is a prerequisite to assure vaccine effectiveness and tolerability. In this context, maintaining the cold chain (2°C to 8°C) is the paramount objective. To establish quality-ensured cold chain maintenance, compliance with several structural and procedural aspects is necessary.

Main objective

The aim of this publication is to assess the quality of vaccine refrigerator management in general practices. Читать дальше...

Development and validation of the Scale of Motives for Using Social Networking Sites (SMU-SNS) for adolescents and youths

Plos.org 

by Miguel-Ángel Pertegal, Alfredo Oliva, Ana Rodríguez-Meirinhos

Over the past decade, the Uses and Gratifications theory has driven research on the motives behind social media use. The three most commonly explored motives have been: maintaining relationships, seeking information, and entertainment. The aim of this study was to develop and validate the Scale of Motives for Using Social Networking Sites (SMU-SNS), a measure to assess a wider range of motives for using Social Networking Sites than have previously been researched.

The Determinants of Household Food Waste Generation and its Associated Caloric and Nutrient Losses: The Case of Lebanon

Plos.org 

by Ali Chalak, Mohamad G. Abiad, Mohamad Diab, Lara Nasreddine

Food waste has a great impact on food and nutrition security, the environment, and global, regional as well as national economies. However, little is known about the associated nutrient loss embedded in wasted foods, especially in developing countries, with Lebanon being a case in point. The present paper uses data gathered from a survey of 250 households conducted in Beirut, Lebanon, in which respondents filled 7-day food waste... Читать дальше...

Selection of appropriate reference genes for quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR in Betula platyphylla under salt and osmotic stress conditions

Plos.org 

by Ziyi Li, Huijun Lu, Zihang He, Chao Wang, Yucheng Wang, Xiaoyu Ji

Selecting appropriate reference genes is vital to normalize gene expression analysis in birch (Betula platyphylla) under different abiotic stress conditions using quantitative real-time reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR). In this study, 11 candidate birch reference genes (ACT, TUA, TUB, TEF, 18S rRNA, EF1α, GAPDH, UBC, YLS8, SAND, and CDPK) were selected to evaluate the stability of their expression in different tissues and under different abiotic stress conditions.

Belief in conspiracy theories: The predictive role of schizotypy, Machiavellianism, and primary psychopathy

Plos.org 

by Evita March, Jordan Springer

A conspiracy theory refers to an alternative explanation of an event involving a conspirator plot organised by powerful people or organisations. Belief in conspiracy theories is related to negative societal outcomes such as poor medical decisions and a decrease in prosocial behaviour. Given these negative outcomes, researchers have explored predictors of belief in conspiracy theories in an attempt to understand and possibly manage these beliefs. In the current study...
