The cAMP-dependent protein kinase A is involved in the induction of long-term memory and habituation in the bee. Gustatory responsiveness correlates strongly with associative and non-associative learning in bees. We tested whether protein kinase A activity in the antennal lobes correlates with gustatory responsiveness. Thirty minutes after feeding, bees with high gustatory responsiveness had a ...

External stressors can erode relationship quality, though little is known about what mitigate these effects. We examined whether COVID-related were associated with lower and perceived partner responsiveness—the extent to which people believe their understands, validates, cares for them—buffers When in relationships reported more they poorer quality at the onset of pandemic ( N = 3,593 from 57 c...

Using data from a unique pricing experiment, we test Vickrey’s conjecture that responsive pricing can be used to smooth demand shocks. Our evidence shows that increasing the responsiveness of price to demand conditions reduces the magnitude of deviations in capacity utilization rates from a pre-determined target level. We discuss implications for the use of demand-side incentives to deal with c...

In this study mothers were told “your baby can’t hear you,” and their interactions recorded in either (i) a hearing condition in which infants could hear their mothers or (ii) a hearing loss condition in which infants could not hear their mothers. It was found that pitch levels of speech were similar in both conditions, but that there was vowel hyperarticulation in the hearing, but not the hear...

BACKGROUND Responsiveness is an indicator by WHO to evaluate the performance of health systems on nonmedical expectations of consumers. This study measures the health system responsiveness and the factors affecting responsiveness in Iran health system. METHODS World Health Survey (WHS) questionnaire was used to collect data on a two-stage cluster sampling in 17th District of Tehran in 2003. O...

A key issue in the literature on collaborative governance has been the question of how to ensure the responsiveness of the system to the general public interest as well as to specific underrepresented interests. In particular, it is unclear whether or not the self-organizing nature of collaborative governance can serve to enhance the responsiveness of the system. This paper investigated two asp...

BACKGROUND World Health Organization (WHO) defines three goals to assess the performance of a health system: the state of health, fairness in financial contribution and responsiveness. We assessed the responsiveness of health system for patients with diabetes in a defined population cohort in Tehran, Iran. METHODS Total responsiveness and eight domains (prompt attention, dignity, communicatio...
