The "replication crisis" is a methodological problem in which many scientific research findings have been difficult or impossible to replicate. Because the reproducibility of empirical results is an essential aspect of the scientific method, such failures endanger the credibility of theories based on them and possibly significant portions of scientific knowledge. An instance of the replication crisis, analytic replication, pertains to reproducing published results through computational reanalysis of the authors' original data. However, direct replications are costly, time-consuming, and unrewarded in today's publishing standards. We propose that bioinformatics and computational biology students replicate recent discoveries as part of their curriculum. …

“I Can’T See How People Could Walk Through That Exhibit And Not Be Forever Changed”: A Qualitative Analysis Exploring The Use Of Art In Research Dissemination, Vincent M.

Background: Art can be a strong advocacy tool; it can be used to amplify the voices of marginalized communities and can change people’s perceptions of the world and others in it. In 2018, an art exhibit at Jefferson University included the cardboard signs of people who panhandle in Philadelphia as well as excerpts from in-depth interviews with those who panhandle to highlight their lived experiences. While the team published an article about this work, the purpose of this follow-up study is to explore the lasting impact of the exhibit experience on attendees’ perceptions of people who panhandle.

Methods: Fourteen attendees …

Clinical Status, Nutritional Behavior, And Lifestyle, And Determinants Of Community Well-Being Of Patients From The Perspective Of Physicians: A Cross-Sectional Study Of Young Older Adults, Nonagenarians, And Centenarians In Salerno And Province, Italy, Silvana Mirella Aliberti, Richard H W Funk, Luigi Schiavo, Aldo Giudice, Elena Ciaglia, Annibale Alessandro Puca, Joseph S. Gonnella, Mario Capunzo

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

Longevity is rightly considered one of the greatest achievements of modern society. Biomedical research has shown that aging is the major risk factor for many diseases, so to find the right answers to aging it is necessary to identify factors that can positively influence longevity. This study investigated the clinical status, nutritional behavior, lifestyle, and social and community determinants of the well-being of young older adults and nonagenarians/centenarians in Salerno and province through the judgment of their physicians. Data were collected through an online survey. Multivariate Poisson and logistic regression models were used to calculate significant predictors of the outcomes …

Extreme Longevity: Analysis Of The Direct Or Indirect Influence Of Environmental Factors On Old, Nonagenarians, And Centenarians In Cilento, Italy, Silvana Mirella Aliberti, Francesco De Caro, Richard H W Funk, Luigi Schiavo, Joseph S. Gonnella, Giovanni Boccia, Mario Capunzo

Department of Medicine Faculty Papers

Longevity is rightly considered one of the greatest achievements of modern society, an achievement understood as the possibility of increasing the healthy part of life and not only its full duration. This study investigated the phenomenon of regional longevity in Cilento by analyzing the association between longevity indicators and some environmental factors, in order to understand if factors such as altitude, climate, UNESCO protected areas, and hinterland can directly or indirectly influence the measure of healthy living and lead to longevity. Demographic and environmental data were collected through the Archives of the Cilento municipalities, the National Institute of Statistics, the …
