Gilbert et al. conclude that evidence from the Open Science Collaboration's Reproducibility Project: Psychology indicates high reproducibility, given the study methodology. Their very optimistic assessment is limited by statistical misconceptions and by causal inferences from selectively interpreted, correlational data. Using the Reproducibility Project: Psychology data, both optimistic and pessimistic conclusions about reproducibility are possible, and neither are yet warranted.

Accurate determination of the parameters of each high purity germanium, HPGe detectors ensure the precision of quantitative results obtained from spectrum analysis. This study presents a comprehensive performance evaluation and long-term quality control assessment of a high-purity germanium (HPGe) gamma spectrometry system that has been operational for over 15 years. Key spectrometric measures were recorded, including energy resolution, peak shape ratios, asymmetry, peak-to-Compton ratio, relative efficiency, electronic noise, minimum detectable activity (MDA), and repeatability and reproducibility of the system.

Objectives: This study aimed to translate the Neurogenic Bowel Dysfunction Score into Brazilian Portuguese, adapting it culturally and validating it semantically.
Methods: The process followed international guidelines for translation, back-translation, cultural adaptation, and semantic validation, involving a committee of specialists and a pre-test with 10 Brazilian pediatric patients with neurogenic bowel dysfunction (mean age: 11 years). Participants were divided into two groups, depending on whether they used transanal irrigation for intestinal management.

Objective: This study examined the content validity of EQ-5D for Chinese patients with DMD. Specifically, it investigated: (1) the content validity of EQ-5D-5L in adult DMD patients and (2) the content validity of EQ-5D-Y-3L (Y-3L) in DMD patients aged 8-15 years.
Method: This qualitative study used semi-structured interviews and conducted one-on-one and online, with two groups of individuals with DMD to examine the content validity of the EQ-5D-5L and Y-3L.

Flexible metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as a new generation of porous materials and are considered for various applications such as sensing, water or gas capture, and water purification. MIL-88 A (Fe) is one of the earliest and most researched flexible MOFs, but to date, there is a lack in the structural aspects that govern its dynamic behaviour. Here, we report the first crystal structure of DMF-solvated MIL-88 A and investigate the impact of real structure effects on the dynamic behaviour of MIL-88 A (Fe), particularly upon water adsorption.

Introduction: We developed and validated age-related amyloid beta (Aβ) positron emission tomography (PET) trajectories using a statistical model in cognitively unimpaired (CU) individuals.
Methods: We analyzed 849 CU Korean and 521 CU non-Hispanic White (NHW) participants after propensity score matching. Aβ PET trajectories were modeled using the generalized additive model for location, scale, and shape (GAMLSS) based on baseline data and validated with longitudinal data.
