We simply cannot go on being so vague about 'function'. | LitMetric

We simply cannot go on being so vague about 'function'.

Published: December 2018

Function is an onerous concept, as the recent study by Steven Salzberg and colleagues demonstrates. We should be careful and always specific in using the 'F-word'.

[Situation-precise medicine : Ethical comments on the debate around precision medicine].

The label "precision medicine" appears to have the status of a "moral high-value word". Moral high-value words possess an ambivalent dialectic of light and dark. On the one hand, precision medicine promises an individual diagnosis and treatment of severe diseases focussed on the ill person with reduction of undesired side effects as far as possible.

Numerous studies have tested the hypothesis that facial identity and emotional expression are independently processed, but a solid conclusion has been difficult to reach, with the literature showing contradictory results. We argue that this is partly due to different researchers using different definitions of perceptual integration and independence, usually vague and/or simply operational, and also due to lack of proper stimulus control. Here, we performed a study using three-dimensional realistic computer-generated faces for which the discriminability of identities and expressions, the intensity of the expressions, and low-level features of the faces were controlled.

Sleep Patterns of Premedical Undergraduate Students: Pilot Study and Protocol Evaluation.

JMIR Form Res

February 2024

Department of Biomedical Informatics, College of Medicine, University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, OH, United States.

Background: Poor sleep hygiene persists in college students today, despite its heavy implications on adolescent development and academic performance. Although sleep patterns in undergraduates have been broadly investigated, no study has exclusively assessed the sleep patterns of premedical undergraduate students. A gap also exists in the knowledge of how students perceive their sleep patterns compared to their actual sleep patterns.

Article Synopsis
  • Some researchers find P values, which are used in statistics, confusing and unclear, especially when deciding if results are significant.
  • The famous statistician Fisher suggested using a P value of 0.05 (or 1 in 20) as a limit to determine significance, but this can cause some studies to be ignored if they don't meet this number.
  • It’s important to understand that P values are just one part of the picture, and researchers should also consider factors like sample size and confidence intervals when looking at study results.
