Human sociality is governed by two types of social norms: injunctive norms, which prescribe what people ought to do, and descriptive reflect actually do. The process these norms emerge their causal influences on cooperative behavior over time are not well understood. Here, we study questions through influencing mask wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Leveraging 2 years data from United States (18 points; n = 915), tracked perceived as pandemic unfolded. Longitudinal trends suggested that...
Abstract Objective The present study evaluates the use of multiple correspondence analysis (MCA), a type exploratory factor designed to reduce dimensionality large categorical data sets, in identifying behaviours associated with measures overweight/obesity Vanuatu, rapidly modernizing Pacific Island country. Design Starting seventy-three true/false questions regarding variety behaviours, MCA identified twelve most significantly modernization status and transformed aggregate binary responses...
Real-time control software and hardware is essential for operating quantum computers.In particular, the plays a crucial role in bridging gap between programs system.Unfortunately, current often optimized specific system at cost of flexibility portability.We propose systematic design strategy modular real-time demonstrate that can reduce execution time overhead kernels by 63.3% on average while not increasing binary size.Our analysis shows two distinctly different systems share 49.8% 91.0%...
Abstract This set of cross‐sectional and longitudinal data from children young adults in certain Bougainville Solomon Islands populations undergoing rapid modernization during the period 1966–1986 reveals very different responses to essentially same stimuli—the introduction widespread availability western dietary items reductions habitual activity. Our analyses over 2,000 first measured 1966–1972, with follow‐up surveys 1968–1970 1985–1986, show changes overweight/obesity these communities...
Despite the effectiveness of face masks in reducing spread COVID-19, many people refused to wear them. Previous studies have shown how a variety demographic and individual difference factors (e.g., political orientation, stress, perceived risk infection) predict use masks. However, people’s health protective behavior can vary depending on context they are – fact that has been thus far neglected mask wearing literature. Here, we surveyed an international sample participants (N = 634, August,...
What explains differences in attitudes towards wearing protective face masks to limit the spread of SARS-CoV-2 virus? We investigated potential drivers about mask as part a longitudinal study during COVID-19 pandemic (N-participants = 711, N-countries 36), focusing on people’s perceptions and feelings seeing others their local communities masks. found that both stress incidence rate predicted these attitudes, but perceived risk infection did not. also older politically right-leaning...
ABSTRACT Several studies demonstrate that human ovarian function is responsive to the energetic environment, which has led development of theoretical models explain this phenomenon. Although many genes are involved in hormone production, possibility genetic polymorphism may affect response conditions not been considered. Cytochrome P450c17α an enzyme produces androgen precursors used make estrogens during steroidogenesis, and encoded by CYP17 gene. A functionally significant variant within...
Physical activity (PA) mitigated psychological distress during the initial weeks of COVID-19 pandemic, yet not much is known about whether PA had effects on stress in subsequent months. We examined relationship between change over time COVID-related and self-reported March July 2020.Latent growth modeling was used to examine trajectories pandemic-related test their association with changes an international sample (n = 679).The participants reported a reduction April 2020. Significant linear...
Sometimes people help one another expecting to be repaid, while at other times without an expectation of repayment. What might underlie this difference in expectations repayment? We investigate question a nationally representative sample US adults (N = 915), and find that are more likely expect repayment when needs perceived predictable. then replicate these findings new 417), show have higher predictable because assign greater responsibility others for experiencing such (e.g., needing money...
Did the COVID-19 pandemic bring people together or push them apart? While infectious diseases tend to apart, crises can also through positive interdependence. We studied this question by asking an international sample (N = 1,006) about their inclinations cooperate, perceptions of interdependence (i.e., shared fate), and perceived risk as well local prevalence infection across 14 time points from March August, 2020. with others tended increase during period, cooperate decreased over time. At...
Styles of traditional decorative art vary substantially across cultures. While early theorists attributed this variation to differences in environment, scholarship has long focused on artworks as vehicles social information and stylistic a consequence factors. However, if the capacity create consume evolved mechanism shape shared attention, it is possible that environmental factors may indeed play role style. We tested hypothesis by characterizing compositional structure 198 textiles from...
Objective. Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, wearing protective facial masks has become a divisive issue. Yet little is known about what drives individual differences in mask wearing. Methods and Measures. Here we surveyed an international cohort of participants (N = 753), their use other variables related to over three periods from July-August, 2020. Results. We found that greater prevalence COVID-19, higher perceived risk infection, stress, future orientation predicted more frequent...
Human sociality is governed by two types of social norms: injunctive norms, which prescribe what people _ought_ to do, and descriptive reflect _actually_ do. The process these norms emerge their causal influences on cooperative behavior over time are not well understood. Here, we study questions through influencing mask wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Leveraging years data from United States (18 points; n = 915), tracked perceived as pandemic unfolded. Longitudinal trends suggested...
Friendships are important for social support and mental health, yet distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic has limited people’s ability to interact with their friends this time. In August 2020, we asked participants about friendships as part of a larger longitudinal study. We found that younger people higher subjective SES reported more negative effects on result pandemic, including feeling lonelier less satisfied friends. also feelings stress, isolation, guilt were associated greater...
The COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed the ways in which social interactions happened. This is particularly true for valued relationships such as friendships. Friendships provide many physical and mental health benefits, including buffering against loneliness during pandemic, so contact with friends may have become more important pandemic. Additionally, an additional benefit of friendships that they provided individuals ability to reduce their uncertainty lower risks But, if or are not...

Here, we propose a modular framework for representing and generating voltage solutions near-term ion trap devices. Voltage graphs are separated into individual segments interconnected by shuttling paths through junctions managed Finite State Machine (FSM). This representation then maps onto hardware architecture capable of driving up to 24 96-channel at 10MSPS with 10,000 lines per channel. Multi-channel synchronous DACs denoted as "Arbitrary Path Generators" (APG) store the electrode...
