Simulation-based learning influences real-life attitudes.

Humans can vividly simulate hypothetical experiences. This ability draws on our memories (e.g.

The fruits of our labour: Interpersonal coordination generates commitment by signalling a willingness to adapt.

Countless everyday activities require us to coordinate our actions and decisions with others. Coordination not only enables us to achieve instrumental goals, but has also been shown to boost , leading people to persevere with an interaction even when their motivation wavers. So far, little is known about the mechanism by which coordination generates commitment.

A first attempt at a holistic analysis of various influencing factors on the fish fauna in the Eastern European Alps.

Fish are some of the most threatened vertebrates in the world due to their often-sensitive response to environmental changes. Major land-use changes in the European Alps have direct and indirect impacts on fish communities, and these impacts are expected to increase in the future. Therefore, the identification of factors that are associated with the distribution of fish communities is of great importance to develop guidelines for management, precautions and sustainable use of running waters.

Prosocial effects of coordination - What, how and why?

A wealth of research in recent decades has investigated the effects of various forms of coordination upon prosocial attitudes and behavior. To structure and constrain this research, we provide a framework within which to distinguish and interrelate different hypotheses about the psychological mechanisms underpinning various prosocial effects of various forms of coordination. To this end, we introduce a set of definitions and distinctions that can be used to tease apart various forms of prosociality and coordination.

What Is the Long-Term Follow-Up of Nonoperatively Treated Patients with Appendicitis?

In this study, we determine outcomes after nonoperative treatment of appendicitis. First, we abstracted data for patients discharged with a diagnosis of appendicitis from a tertiary care facility from August 1, 2007, through June 30, 2017. For patients treated nonoperatively, we collected additional medical treatment for appendicitis, future surgical treatment, and date of last follow-up.
