Exploiting collider bias to apply two-sample summary data Mendelian randomization methods to one-sample individual level data. by Ciarrah Barry, Junxi Liu, Rebecca Richmond, Martin K Rutter, Deborah A Lawlor, Frank Dudbridge, Jack Bowden

“…With the advent of large and accessible fully-genotyped cohorts such as UK Biobank, there is now increasing interest in understanding how best to apply these well developed summary data methods to individual level data, and to explore the use of more sophisticated causal methods allowing for non-linearity and effect modification. In this paper we describe a general procedure for optimally applying any two sample summary data method using one sample data. …”

Canción de tumba de Julián Herbert entre postautonomía e intertextualidad by Álvaro Arango Vallejo

“…La novela Canción de tumba (2011), una colección de narrativas más o menos lineares en torno a la muerte de la madre de su autor y narrador Julián Herbert presenta muchas de las características de lo que Josefina Ludmer denominaría “literaturas postautónomas”: la postautonomía, según Ludmer, implica el fin de la institución literaria como se le conoce y exige la llegada de un nuevo paradigma de lectura externo a la misma, que permita una comprensión más extensa de estos textos. …”
