TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research and suggest that claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias.
Abstract: There is increasing concern that most current published research findings are false. The probability that a research claim is true may depend on study power and bias, the number of other studies on the same question, and, importantly, the ratio of true to no relationships among the relationships probed in each scientific field. In this framework, a research finding is less likely to be true when the studies conducted in a field are smaller; when effect sizes are smaller; when there is a greater number and lesser pre-selection of tested relationships; where there is greater flexibility in designs, definitions, outcomes, and analytical modes; when there is greater financial and other interest and prejudice; and when more teams are involved in a scientific field in chase of statistical significance. Simulations show that for most study designs and settings, it is more likely for a research claim to be false than true. Moreover, for many current scientific fields, claimed research findings may often be simply accurate measures of the prevailing bias. In this essay, I discuss the implications of these problems for the conduct and interpretation of research.

TL;DR: In this article, it is found that the failure to address the population explosion is one of the causes of epidemics, social unrest and other health issues, which prevents the global health community from making the necessary link between the planet's limited ability to supports its people that is its carrying capacity and health and development crises.
Abstract: The issue of human overpopulation has become a taboo topic but this prevents the global health community from making the necessary link between the planet's limited ability to supports its people that is its carrying capacity and health and development crises. It is found that the failure to address the population explosion is one of the causes of epidemics, social unrest and other health issues.
