Strange features are no better than no features: predator recognition by untrained birds by Ondřej Fišer, Irena Strnadová, Petr Veselý, Michaela Syrová, Michal Němec, Barbora Kamišová, Josef Šalom, Roman Fuchs

“…The question, though, still remains of whether exchanging predator key features with those of nonpredatory species or, alternatively, completely removing them, have different or equal impact on recognition. Here we tested to ascertain whether the presence of the “incorrect key features” of a harmless pigeon (Columba livia) placed on a common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) body impairs predator recognition more efficiently than the absence of any key features. …”

Strong reciprocal dependencies as exceptions when correlations are weak by M. M. Basimov

“…It is built on the basis of a dependence that is far from linear, as shown by Pearson’s coefficient of weak correlation equal to 0.28. At the same time, founded on the rule for interpreting the absolute value of the correlation coefficient for a sample of 120 subjects (widely used in the psychological community), it indicates the significance of the relationship at the p = 0.01 level, which inevitably requires a linear interpretation. …”

Smoking and alcohol use plays a mediating role on the social determinants of high blood pressure: Evidence from nationally representative sample in India by Arivarasan Barathi, Yuvaraj Krishnamoorthy, Rajan Rushender

“…We performed a mediation analysis using linear and logistic regression models to estimate the natural direct effect, total effects, and natural indirect effect of sex, education, and wealth index, and systolic BP (SBP) and diastolic BP (DBP), while maintaining behavioral habits (smoking and alcohol use) as mediator variables. Results: An equal distribution of males (51.4%) and females (48.6%) was seen, about 13.2% consumed alcohol, and 27.6% had used or smoked tobacco. …”
