    Developing cross-cultural neuropsychology through the lens of cross-cultural cognitive neuroscience

    H.W. Huang and C.M. Huang review empirical evidence from cross-cultural cognitive neuroscience which investigates whether and how sustained exposure to cultural experiences influences the neurobiological basis of human cognition and behavior. They highlight several cross-cultural brain imaging studies showing that individuals with sustained exposure to interdependent/collectivistic or independent/individualistic cultural experiences present dissociable styles of processing information that modulate neurocognitive processes, influence neural functions, and shape brain structures. Several brain regions are implicated in processing culturally preferred information including the ventral-visual and fronto-parietal cortices associated with culture-related differences in visual perception, attention and memory, executive control, semantic representation, and language comprehension. H.W. Huang and C.M. Huang conclude by discussing some methodological considerations and potential challenges of performing cross-cultural cognitive neuroscience that need to be addressed when developing cross-cultural neuropsychological assessments to evaluate individual variations in behavior-brain associations across cultures.link_to_subscribed_fulltex

    Abstract In both developed and developing countries, the construction industry is considered to be one of the most significant industries in terms of its impact on health and safety of the working population. Construction industry is both economically and socially important. However, the construction industry is also recognized to be the most hazardous. The objectives of this research are to investigate the safety performance in the construction sites. The data were collected from the contractors, consultant, and owners by using questionnaire to evaluate the safety performance in the construction sites. In total, there were 40 questionnaires which were distributed to respondents, with a response rate of 75%. The results show that there was still a lack of commitment from the government, the insurance company, the labor ministry, the owners, consultants, and also the contractors to improving safety performance on the construction sites. The suggestion is to improve the safety performance on the construction sites. The government should follow up the safety performance by visiting the construction sites. The insurance company should be more active in visiting the construction sites. The owners should be more active towards the safety by controlling, visiting the process in the construction sites. The contractors have to train the workers and promote the safety culture and follow up the safety performance. The consultants should control all the tools in the construction sites to insure that those tools are safe. Keywords: Safety performance, construction project, Tripol
