Methodological, political and legal issues in the assessment of the effects of nanotechnology on human health by Schulte, Paul A, Riediker, Michael, Fatkhutdinova, Liliya, Bergamaschi, Enrico, Canu, Irina Guseva

“…Forming ENM worker cohorts from a combination of smaller cohorts and overcoming selection bias are also challenges. National or international registries for monitoring the exposures and health of ENM workers would be helpful for epidemiological studies, but the creation of such a registry and ENM worker cohorts will require political support and dedicated funding at the national and international levels. …”

The GCSE attainment gap: assessing the influence of permanent school exclusion by Hills, Stephen, Walker, Matthew, Guinn, James, Kent, Aubrey

“…This is a critical limitation of the research due to the influence of confounding variables and sample selection bias. Using the National Pupil Database and a full cohort of UK pupils (N=590,092), our analysis tracked a sample of 1,490 pupils permanently excluded in year 11 of the English education system in 2018/19. …”
