Author Correction
No full textThe original version of this Article contained an error in Table 4, in which the coefficients of the LASSO regression model of treatment response corresponded to a version that was performed without non-coding genes. The new version of the table, which was generated during revision of the manuscript, contains the coefficients that were obtained after including potential non-coding driver genes in the model. Genomic features that became statistically significant after re-running the model were also added, which included: ‘nr of 10 kb–1Mb deletions’, ‘SBS41’, ‘Non-coding - LINC00672’, ‘Gain 7p12.3 - (PKD1L1)’, ‘Loss 4q22.1 - (CCSER1)’, and ‘Loss 18q23 - (NFATC1*)’. This has now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article. The original version of this Article also contained an error in the author affiliations. The affiliations of Job van Riet with Cancer Computational Biology Center, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands and Department of Urology, Erasmus MC Cancer Institute, Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam, Rotterdam, The Netherlands were inadvertently omitted. This has now been corrected in both the PDF and HTML versions of the Article. The original version of this Article contained an error in the Methods, section “Whole-genome sequencing; identification of somatic changes”, which incorrectly read ‘GATK BQSR and Haplotype Caller v3.4.46 were used to call somatic mutations.’ The correct version is ‘GATK BQSR and Haplotype Caller v3.4.46 and Strelka v1.0.14 were used to call somatic mutations’.

Teaching social inclusion, public policy and governance through active learning and educational games
No full text[EN] How can an active learning approach enhance how key topics in public policy, public administration, and governance are taught? This article describes four educational game scenarios that illustrate decision-making processes in social inclusion policies. Various governance aspects can be examined through these games, including accountability reforms, crisis management, challenges in implementing artificial intelligence in social service provision, and market regulation. All these cases have been developed within the framework of the P-Cube project, an Erasmus + project that aims to foster active learning through the use of educational games for teaching public policy. The first case illustrates the effect of regulation on nursing home services, and aims to examine the implications of establishing independent agencies to regulate specific social sectors and the involvement and participation of the market and stakeholders in these regulatory bodies. The second case explores the application of artificial intelligence and automated decision-making in a surveillance system for detecting welfare fraud, in which the main learning objective is to discuss governance implications and consequences for social innovation and inclusion. The third case examines the implementation of alternative solutions for providing school meals to children from low-income families during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main objective here is to explore the role of participatory mechanisms in driving policy change and to identify the factors influencing their degree of effectiveness. The fourth case explores the potential ways of regulating the rights of workers employed in the digital platform-based economy. Our cases target graduate and postgraduate students in political science, public administration, public policy, social policy, and other related fields. They also offer valuable insights for practitioners, specifically public managers at different organizational levels.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This work was supported by the Erasmus+ (Project number: 2020-1-IT02- KA203-07963).Pérez-Durán, I.;Acebillo Baqué, Miriam;Comellas-Bonsfills, JM.

Review Of Erasmus: His Life, Works, And Influence By C. Augustijn
No full textA remarkable study of Erasmus. Abreast of the latest scholarship and thoroughly familiar with contemporary sources, Augustijn has succeeded in providing a comprehensive introduction to Erasmus\u27s life, work, and thought, setting Erasmus in his own time as well as assessing his significance for the history of Western culture. Particularly striking is the author\u27s success in allowing Erasmus to speak for himself on the issues most important to him. Augustijn (church history, Free University of Amsterdam) places a great deal of emphasis on the period between 1509 and 1526 when Erasmus matured intellectually and reached the height of his popularity and influence. It was then that Erasmus made his greatest contributions to modern thought, the most important being his new way of doing theology by interpreting scripture using the tools of philology, rhetoric, and grammar rather than using logic and metaphysics as did the Scholastics. Clearly and gracefully written, the study is accessible to all students of cultural history. Upper-division undergraduate and graduate collections
Opera omnia Desiderii Erasmi Roterodami
No full textThis twenty-eighth volume in Erasmus' Opera omnia (ASD) is the fifth within 'ordo' VI, that is the corda' of the New Testament and the Annotations. The division
into 'ordines' - each 'ordo' being devoted to a specific literary or thematic
category - was laid down by Erasmus himself for the posthumous publication of
his works (see General introduction, ASD I, pp. x, xvii-xviii, and C. Reedijk, Tcmdem
bona causa triumphat. Zur Geschichte des Gesamtwerkes des Erasmus von Rotterdam.
Vortrage der Aeneas-Silvius-Stiftung an der Universitiit Basel, XVI,
Basel/Stuttgart, 1980, p. 12 sqq., 21-22).
The present volume (tom. VI, 5, edited by P. F. Hovingh, Rotterdam) contains
the first part of the Annotationes in Nouum Testamentum, to wit the Annotations
on Matthew, Mark and Luke. The Annotations on the other books of the
New Testament will be published in ASD VI, 6-9. ASD VI, 1-4 will comprise
Erasmus' edition of the New Testament (Greek and Latin). The order of publication
depends on when the respective volumes are finished. With regard to the
edition of 'ordo' VI the Editorial Board is much indebted to Professor H. J. de
Jonge (Leiden) for his expert advice.
The Editorial Board and the editor of the present volume are grateful to all
libraries that kindly put books, photostats, microfilms, and bibliographical material
at their disposal.
The Conseil international pour l'edition des oeuvres completes d'Erasme and
the Editorial Board mourn the sad loss of the founding father of the Erasmus
edition, Dr. Cornelis Reedijk, who died on 7 May 2000 at the age of 79. Born in
Rotterdam, he attended the Gymnasium Erasmianum of that city. After reading
classics at Leiden and Amsterdam, he started working at the Gemeentebibliotheek
Rotterdam in 1945, where he became Keeper in 1953, and Director in 1958.
In the meantime he published his pioneering edition of The Poems ofDesiderius
Erasmus (Leiden, Brill, 1956). It served as his Leiden Ph.D. thesis, which was
supervised by Professor J.H. Waszink.
In 1962 Reedijk was appointed Head Librarian of the Koninklijke Bibliotheek
at The Hague, from which he retired in 1986. He also distinguished himself in
many international activities, in particular in the context of the International
Federation of Library Associations.
The story ofhow the Conseil international and the Erasmus edition came into
being is told in the General Introduction (see ASD I, I, pp. xv-xvii). There is no
need to repeat it here, but it may be appropriate to quote the opening passage:
«The initiative for this edition was taken in Rotterdam, Erasmus' native city. In1960 the historical society 'Roterodamum' addressed a letter to the municipality
containing a number of suggestions for the commemoration of the fifth centenary
of Erasmus' birth in 1969. One of these suggestions was that the municipality
encourage an investigation of the question whether there was a need for a new
critical edition of the works of Erasmus and, if so, by what means such an edition
might be accomplished».
The man behind this initiative was Reedijk, who understated his role, being
the actual author of the General introduction which was signed by the members
of the then Editorial Board, J.H. Waszink, Leon-E. Halkin, C. Reedijk, C.M.
Bruehl. With Reedijk's death, they have all left us now.
Dr. Reedijk became the Secretary of the Conseil international in 1963 and in
1969 its Secretary General, combining this post from 1992 with that of Treasurer.
For reasons of health he decided to resign these positions in 1998, remaining,
however, a member of the Conseil international and the Editorial Board.
Both the Conseil and the Board will remember Cornelis Reedijk with gratitude
and affection, and they will hold his memory in high esteem

Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index
No full textObesity is globally prevalent and highly heritable, but its underlying genetic factors remain largely elusive. To identify genetic loci for obesity susceptibility, we examined associations between body mass index and similar to 2.8 million SNPs in up to 123,865 individuals with targeted follow up of 42 SNPs in up to 125,931 additional individuals. We confirmed 14 known obesity susceptibility loci and identified 18 new loci associated with body mass index (P < 5 x 10(-8)), one of which includes a copy number variant near GPRC5B. Some loci (at MC4R, POMC, SH2B1 and BDNF) map near key hypothalamic regulators of energy balance, and one of these loci is near GIPR, an incretin receptor. Furthermore, genes in other newly associated loci may provide new insights into human body weight regulation
Private devotion in England on the eve of the Reformation illustrated from works printed or reprinted in the period 1530-40
No full textThis is the first attempt to provide a detailed description of the different types of devotional literature (excluding all liturgical books, biblical translations, doctrinal and polemic works, saintS lives and sermons) available in print to English readers in the years immediately preceding England's break with Rome. It shows that there were far more Catholic works of devotion, many of them written or printed for the first time 1520 - 35, than has previously been recognized. It is also clear that this flourishing literature came to a sudden and decisive end in 1535, although the tradition lived on unofficially to be taken up by the English Recusants. The leading themes of this traditional literature are indicated in chapters on treatises about confession and prayer, the mass, the life and Passion of Christ, on tribulation, death and the Last Things, while more general teaching about the Christian life addressed to religious, contemplatives and lay people, and the humanist and Protestant contribution to this literature is also discussed. The treatises are doctrinally sound and on the whole advocate moderation and common-sense; they avoid many of the weaknesses of popular non-literary devotion, including the Marioleatry and excessive morbidity for which the late middle ages are often condemned. Some of the weaknesses of the Catholic tradition are suggested by comparison with the more rational and secular attitudes of Christian humanist , authors, notably Erasmus, available during the 1530s. The Protestants, whose treatises become increasingly common, despite official censorship, during the decade until they dominate its second half, carry the humanist~ reform much further, and break with the Catholic Church. Traditional devotional topics and audiences are displaced by doctrinal and biblical teaching addressed to lay people. The Bible replaces the Church's authority and there is more emphasis on the spiritual and social dimensions of religion
