The role of candidate genetic polymorphisms in covid-19 susceptibility and outcomes by Anthony Yazbeck, Reem Akika, Zainab Awada, Nathalie K. Zgheib

“…PRS was not associated with COVID-19 susceptibility and hospitalization, it however significantly predicted COVID-19 severity (P = 0.01). Conclusion This study highlights the importance of genetic testing for key host genes involved in COVID-19 life cycle and eventually measuring the PRS which proves to be an important tool for prognosis assessment in vulnerable individuals, potentially enhancing patient care.…”

Impact of Modern Technology on Social Research Methods in Educational Contexts by Horia Aljounid

“…Inferential statistics indicated a positive correlation between technology use frequency and perceived research benefits, with regression analysis showing that both the type and frequency of technology use predict research efficiency. Furthermore, ANOVA results highlighted disparities in technology adoption across educational sectors, indicating that higher education researchers tend to utilize digital tools more frequently than those in K-12 education and policy. …”

Bolder together: conformity drives behavioral plasticity in eastern gartersnakes by Morgan Skinner, Gokulan Nagabaskaran, Tom Gantert, Noam Miller

“…Pairs were assigned based on the data from the solo trials, such that each snake was paired once with a bolder and once with a less bold partner. We predicted that snakes would conform when in a social context, displaying plasticity in their personality, and causing boldness scores to converge. …”
