Null and Alternative Hypotheses01:16

Null and Alternative Hypotheses

12.8K
The actual hypothesis testing begins by considering two hypotheses. They are termed  the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis. These hypotheses contain opposing viewpoints.
The null hypothesis, denoted by H0 is a statement of no difference between the variables—they are not related. This can often be considered the status quo. As  a result if you cannot accept the null, it requires some action.
The alternative hypothesis, denoted by H1 or Ha, is a claim about the...

Ecological Succession02:17

Ecological Succession

21.5K
Ecological succession is influenced by the processes of facilitation, inhibition, and toleration. Facilitation occurs when early successional species create more favorable ecological conditions for subsequent species, such as enhanced nutrient, water, or light availability. In contrast, inhibition happens when early successional species create unfavorable ecological conditions for potential successive species, such as limiting resource availability. In some cases, later successional species...

The Scientific Method

268.3K
The scientific method is a detailed, empirical problem-solving process used by biologists and other scientists. This iterative approach involves formulating a question based on observation, developing a testable potential explanation for the observation (called a hypothesis), making and testing predictions based on the hypothesis, and using the findings to create new hypotheses and predictions.
Generally, predictions are tested using carefully-designed experiments. Based on the outcome of these...

The Scientific Method03:50

The Scientific Method

67.6K
Chemistry is an empirical science. Scientists often pose questions to understand the chemistry in everyday life and seek answers to these questions. To achieve this, scientists follow a definitive series of steps that together make up the Scientific Method. This approach involves making observations, asking questions, building a hypothesis, conducting experiments, analyzing results, and forming a conclusion.

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

8.3K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Lichen planus is a common mucocutaneous inflammatory dermatosis.
    • It presents with a characteristic papular rash and can have chronic or subacute courses.
    • Several clinical subtypes exist, complicating diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review and discuss the various etiopathogenetic concepts of lichen planus.
    • To highlight the importance of understanding pathogenesis for diagnosis and treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of etiological hypotheses for lichen planus.
    • Discussion of autoimmune associations and proposed immune mechanisms.

    Main Results:

    • Etiological hypotheses include stress, genetics, systemic diseases, viral infections, dental materials, allergens, and medications.
    • Autoimmune links are supported by associations with conditions like ulcerative colitis and alopecia areata.
    • Pathogenesis likely involves cytotoxic T lymphocyte activation and cytokine production, leading to keratinocyte apoptosis.

    Conclusions:

    • A comprehensive understanding of lichen planus pathogenesis is crucial for accurate diagnosis and therapeutic strategies.
    • Differential diagnosis includes lichenoid reactions caused by external factors.
