Given the complex nature of the classroom and the myriad factors that contribute to learning, it is necessary to replicate the values-affirmation study across institutions, semesters, and courses; indeed, this lack of replication studies is a serious deficit of current DBER practices (Singer et al., 2012).

Inferred from this study is affirmation of two main current strategic clinical goals to cope with pandemic diabetes: 1) reduction of the rate of new-onset diabetes and 2) interdiction of potentially fatal complications in individuals with diagnosed diabetes.
In this respect, our study provides affirmation to the publication of Emmett et al. (2006a) but on a much lower level of exposure (about one-seventeenth with regard to blood levels, about one-seventh concerning drinking-water concentrations).

At some level, this new study is simply affirmation that we are creatures, too.
This study is an affirmation of the negative effects armed conflict and its violence aftermath can have on the mental health of individuals.
This is in agreement with the findings of our study; however, our affirmation of this association was confirmed even after controlling for several additional variables and finer categories of utilization.
