The aim of this review is to highlight an emerging field: the neuroscience of culture. This new field links cross-cultural psychology with cognitive neuroscience across fundamental domains of cognitive and social psychology. We present a summary of studies on emotion, perspective-taking, memory, object perception, attention, language, and the self, showing cultural differences in behavior as we...

Despite their implications for careers, cultural goods and honours in the field of cultural production have rarely been examined as career events by culture researchers. More typically, cultural prizes are examined as they relate to the process of cultural valorization or are used to construct samples of venerated cultural products or producers for subsequent analysis. However, embedding cultur...

Originally conceived as a synthesis of key cultural variables that have been recognized by thought leaders in the field of cross-cultural management and communication, the Cultural Orientations Model (COM) has anchored the translation of theory into practice for over 20 years. Along with the Cultural Orientations Indicator® (COI) and the Cultural Navigator®, the synthesis has evolved and become...

In his paper, "Towards a Map of the Current Critical Debate about Latin American Cultural Studies," Julio Ortega surveys the shifting disciplinary, critical, and methodological paradigms used to study Latin American culture in both the United States and Latin America. Describing the post-theoretical period as a moment when grand analytical models are abandoned in favor of microanalyses, Ortega ...

Conventional models of cultural evolution consider only panmictic populations. In many real world cases, however, random mating is constrained by the spatial or social structure of the population. A spatial population model of biased cultural transmission is proposed. Monte Carlo simulations produce results which show quantitatively different dynamics to those predicted by the more conventional...

Background: One of the essential aspects of the provision of care is cultural issues. Cultural sensitivity is the key for cultural care. The aim of this study was to explore culturally sensitive care in pediatric nursing care in Iran.Materials and Methods: This study was a conventional content analysis.

This paper is based on a five years’ research focused on the measurement of cultural contribution of events of art and technology to London. Developing the concept of ‘cultural capital’ devised by sociologist Pierre Bourdieu, it was possible to identify their ‘forms’, such as ‘embodied’, ‘objectified’ and ‘institutionalised’ as parameters to a cultural measurement system. Applying this system t...

Electronic circuit optimization design is important research field in engineering applications. Circuit scale and the time of evaluate the circuit are the challenge problems for circuit optimization design algorithm and the traditional optimization algorithms cannot solve the two problems very well. Cultural Algorithms are a class of computational models derived from observing the cultural evol...
