As widely noted in the literature and by international bodies such as the American Statistical Association, severe misinterpretations of -values, confidence intervals, and statistical significance are sadly common in public health. This scenario poses serious risks concerning terminal decisions such as the approval or rejection of therapies. Cognitive distortions about statistics likely stem from poor teaching in schools and universities, overly simplified interpretations, and - as we suggest - the reckless use of calculation software with predefined standardized procedures.

Objective: Mountain highways are linearly complex, with extensive curves and high accident injury rates, how to improve driving safety is the key to traffic safety management on mountain highways, and it also meets the need for harmonious and sustainable development of the society. Therefore, this study investigates the effects of different guardrail color configurations on the driving behavior of different styles of drivers when driving on mountainous curves from the perspective of improving road aids - guardrails.
Methods: A virtual reality experiment was designed using a driving simulator and VR technology, and 64 subjects were recruited to participate and complete the experiment.

To show this, we combined key elements of Pavlovian psychology literature and standard economic theory into a single model.

Background: Plastics have conveyed great benefits to humanity and made possible some of the most significant advances of modern civilization in fields as diverse as medicine, electronics, aerospace, construction, food packaging, and sports. It is now clear, however, that plastics are also responsible for significant harms to human health, the economy, and the earth's environment. These harms occur at every stage of the plastic life cycle, from extraction of the coal, oil, and gas that are its main feedstocks through to ultimate disposal into the environment.

Driver's driving style and driving skill have an essential influence on traffic safety, capacity, and efficiency. Through clustering algorithms, extensive studies explore the risk assessment, classification, and recognition of driving style and driving skill. This paper proposes a feature selection method for driving style and skill clustering.
