Massively parallel variant-to-function mapping determines functional regulatory variants of non-small cell lung cancer by Congcong Chen, Yang Li, Yayun Gu, Qiqi Zhai, Songwei Guo, Jun Xiang, Yuan Xie, Mingxing An, Chenmeijie Li, Na Qin, Yanan Shi, Liu Yang, Jun Zhou, Xianfeng Xu, Ziye Xu, Kai Wang, Meng Zhu, Yue Jiang, Yuanlin He, Jing Xu, Rong Yin, Liang Chen, Lin Xu, Juncheng Dai, Guangfu Jin, Zhibin Hu, Cheng Wang, Hongxia Ma, Hongbing Shen

“…A total of 1249 candidate variants were evaluated, and 30 potential causal variants within 12 loci were identified. Accordingly, we proposed three genetic architectures underlying NSCLC susceptibility: multiple causal variants in a single haplotype block (e.g. 4q22.1), multiple causal variants in multiple haplotype blocks (e.g. 5p15.33), and a single causal variant (e.g. 20q11.23). …”

Boyle’s Reductive Occasionalism by Daniel Layman

“…These questions have long troubled commentators, as Boyle’s texts often seem to offer both endorsements of occasionalism and affirmations of bodies’ causal powers. I argue that Boyle’s position is best understood as reductive occasionalism, according to which (a) bodily powers are relations between bodies and God’s action in the world, and (b) there is no causal efficacy in bodies that is not strictly identical to God’s nomological causal efficacy.…”

Polysémie de HOW dans la King James Version by Mathilde Pinson

“…The origin of the two main non-prototypical uses of how will then be examined, and it will be demonstrated that conjunctive how is endogenous, while the source of causal how is mainly exogenous. Finally, it will be shown that the causal value of how has not disappeared altogether from Present-Day English, contrary to what the Oxford English Dictionary indicates, and it will be hypothesized that the use of causal how in Scottish Vernacular English is related to that in the KJV.…”

Spinoza and the Possibility of Adequate Ideas by Thaddeus Robinson

“…As I frame it, the problem is that for Spinoza an idea is adequate in a mind only if all its causal antecedents lie within the mind as well. However, it seems there can be no finite mind for which this is true; finite minds come to be and exist within a deterministic causal nexus, and the causal antecedents of every idea in a mind will ultimately stretch far beyond it. …”
