DOI: 10.1136/jme-2022-108446
Abstract: There is an ongoing debate about whether multifetal pregnancy reduction from twins to singletons (2-to-1 MFPR) is morally permissible. By applying the all or nothing problem to the cases of reducing twin pregnancies to singletons,… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND Stroke often leads to lower extremity impairments that significantly hinders functional recovery. OBJECTIVE To investigate the effectiveness of constraint-induced movement therapy for the lower extremity (CIMT-LE) for improving balance and ambulation among people post-stroke.… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/axioms8030100
Abstract: Using the defined notion of the inference with multiply-conclusion rules, we show that in the logics enjoying the disjunction property, any derivable rule can be inferred from the single-conclusion rules and a single multiple-conclusion rule,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/e25010143
Abstract: When we compare the influences of two causes on an outcome, if the conclusion from every group is against that from the conflation, we think there is Simpson’s Paradox. The Existing Causal Inference Theory (ECIT)… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.10632
Abstract: Estimation of the impacts of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on ecosystems and biodiversity is a research imperative. Analyses of large-scale spatial gradients, where an observed response is correlated with measured or modelled deposition, have been… read more here.
