    Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height

    No full text
    Most common human traits and diseases have a polygenic pattern of inheritance: DNA sequence variants at many genetic loci influence the phenotype. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have identified more than 600 variants associated with human traits(1), but these typically explain small fractions of phenotypic variation, raising questions about the use of further studies. Here, using 183,727 individuals, we show that hundreds of genetic variants, in at least 180 loci, influence adult height, a highly heritable and classic polygenic trait(2,3). The large number of loci reveals patterns with important implications for genetic studies of common human diseases and traits. First, the 180 loci are not random, but instead are enriched for genes that are connected in biological pathways (P = 0.016) and that underlie skeletal growth defects (P<0.001). Second, the likely causal gene is often located near the most strongly associated variant: in 13 of 21 loci containing a known skeletal growth gene, that gene was closest to the associated variant. Third, at least 19 loci have multiple independently associated variants, suggesting that allelic heterogeneity is a frequent feature of polygenic traits, that comprehensive explorations of already-discovered loci should discover additional variants and that an appreciable fraction of associated loci may have been identified. Fourth, associated variants are enriched for likely functional effects on genes, being over-represented among variants that alter amino-acid structure of proteins and expression levels of nearby genes. Our data explain approximately 10% of the phenotypic variation in height, and we estimate that unidentified common variants of similar effect sizes would increase this figure to approximately 16% of phenotypic variation (approximately 20% of heritable variation). Although additional approaches are needed to dissect the genetic architecture of polygenic human traits fully, our findings indicate that GWA studies can identify large numbers of loci that implicate biologically relevant genes and pathways

    Association analyses of 249,796 individuals reveal 18 new loci associated with body mass index

    Obesity 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

    Notion, nature and extent of consent in international arbitration

    No full text
    PhDArbitration is a consensual and private mechanism of dispute resolution which leads to an enforceable arbitral award. In the traditional field of commercial arbitration the agreement to arbitrate is considered to be the cornerstone of arbitration. On the other hand, in the international context, arbitration has become increasingly used in other areas, like investment arbitration and sport arbitration, where the consensual nature of arbitration appears to be different. At the beginning of the study it will be underlined that, when speaking about the consensual nature of arbitration, one needs to differentiate between consensual as one of the essential criteria for arbitration’s qualification and consent as a condition for the validity of the arbitration agreement. This differentiation is especially important in sport arbitration where, between the athletes and sport organisations, there is often induced consent rather than bargained consent. By sustaining that the consensual character of arbitration needs to be differentiated, but not abandoned, the thesis clearly takes a contractual, or better, a consensual approach. It is preferable to speak of a consensual approach, because the agreement to arbitrate does not always take the form of an arbitration agreement in the traditional sense. This is particularly the case in investment arbitration. This thesis is a comparative study. However, not only a comparison of national laws and different arbitration rules will be undertaken, but the thesis will also consider the evolution of arbitration by discussing the implications that evolution has had on the perception of the consensual character of arbitration. Moreover, and above all, the main body of the thesis will be dedicated to a comparison focused on the consent issues of the three main areas where arbitration is nowadays used in an international context: commercial arbitration, investment arbitration and sport arbitration. It will be stressed that, although already in the classical area of commercial arbitration, the structures of arbitrations may be of different types, ranging from bi-party situations to multiparty scenarios, and might play a role when considering the consensual nature of arbitration, this becomes even clearer when one analyses the other fields of arbitration. The thesis then also takes into account that, in the various phases of the arbitral process, the expectations with regard to the consensual character of arbitration may be different. In the thesis it will be argued that the reason the consensual nature of arbitration evolved over time, and the reason that it is different among the various fields of arbitration, might be seen in the fact that there is an inherent tension between the contractual and the jurisdictional side of arbitration. In this situation of “inherent tension” consent may be perceived as being more or less present. Nevertheless, the “intensity” of consent does not affect the basically consensual character of arbitration. While the four traditional theories (jurisdictional, contractual, mixed/hybrid and autonomous) used to explain the juridical nature of arbitration focus rather on the relationship between State and arbitration, the thesis attempts to indicate other solutions which seem to be more able to explain the use of arbitration in the different areas/fields where arbitration is expected to resolve disputes

    ITER test blanket module error field simulation experiments at DIII-D

    No full text
    Experiments at DIII-D investigated the effects of magnetic error fields similar to those expected from proposed ITER test blanket modules (TBMs) containing ferromagnetic material. Studied were effects on: plasma rotation and locking, confinement, L–H transition, the H-mode pedestal, edge localized modes (ELMs) and ELM suppression by resonant magnetic perturbations, energetic particle losses, and more. The experiments used a purpose-built three-coil mock-up of two magnetized ITER TBMs in one ITER equatorial port. The largest effect was a reduction in plasma toroidal rotation velocity v across the entire radial profile by as much as Δv/v ~ 60% via non-resonant braking. Changes to global Δn/n, Δβ/β and ΔH98/H98 were ~3 times smaller. These effects are stronger at higher β. Other effects were smaller. The TBM field increased sensitivity to locking by an applied known n = 1 test field in both L- and H-mode plasmas. Locked mode tolerance was completely restored in L-mode by re-adjusting the DIII-D n = 1 error field compensation system. Numerical modelling by IPEC reproduces the rotation braking and locking semi-quantitatively, and identifies plasma amplification of a few n = 1 Fourier harmonics as the main cause of braking. IPEC predicts that TBM braking in H-mode may be reduced by n = 1 control. Although extrapolation from DIII-D to ITER is still an open issue, these experiments suggest that a TBM-like error field will produce only a few potentially troublesome problems, and that they might be made acceptably small

    The cost-effectiveness of national training systems in developing countries

    No full text
    This paper reviews the literature on the cost-effectiveness of different modes of occupational training, focusing primarily on employer-sited training, occupational training within formal education, and out of school center-based training. The literature can be divided into two categories: studies which have attempted to measure in quantitative terms the benefits and costs of different modes of training, and qualitative studies which have examined non-measurable aspects of cost-effectiveness. Among the conclusions brought to light are: that schools should be responsible for teaching basic skills and the theoretical aspects of vocational training, and employers should be responsible for the practical end - with on-the-job training supplemented in some cases by training at training centers. Institutionalized pre-employment training for entry-level jobs is less cost-effective - despite wishful thinking that it provides an easy solution to the problems of mass youth unemployment.Teaching and Learning,Curriculum&Instruction,Vocational&Technical Education,Gender and Education,Primary Education

The Dangers of Public WiFi: Important Do’s and Don’ts Restaurants and cafes are open for dine-in. Business travel is resuming. Remote workers are ready to stretch their legs and venture outside. Whether on a plane or seated al fresco, more people are working on the go again. And to get work done between boarding passes and breadsticks, they're connecting to public WiFi. But are they aware of the dangers of public WiFi? Is it safe for employees to use open WiFi? And if you do find yourself logging on to a new network, what can you do to secure your and your employer’s data while you work? Do use password-protected WiFi A secured WiFi connection that requires a password to use is safer than public, unsecured WiFi. It may be more convenient to connect to an open network instantly. But a private network hosted by a cafe or hotel eliminates the risk of a hacker offering free WiFi to lure in cyber victims. So, always check if there is a private WiFi network, and ask for the password. Don’t send sensitive data in cleartext Attackers can set up man-in-the-middle attacks or other methods of cyber espionage on public WiFi. To reduce risk, avoid handling or sending sensitive data whenever possible. That means steering clear of financial data, Pll (Personal Identifiable Information), credentials and passcodes, and any restricted or confidential information until you're back on a secured network. Do use a VPN A virtual private network, or VPN, allows you to establish a secure, protected connection to a corporate network. Even if you’re on public WiFi, the VPN provides an extra layer of security and makes it more difficult for cybercriminals to snoop. Many businesses have a VPN for employee use, but you can also download one yourself. With the amount of work and entertainment happening online, a VPN is now almost as basic as anti-virus protection. Don’t auto-connect to public WiFi Auto-connecting to WiFi can feel convenient. An instant connection wherever you go! But, it comes with hidden dangers, so turn off auto-connect for both WiFi and Bluetooth. Then, each time you’re in a new location, you can intentionally choose which network you want to use. Do connect with HTTPS HTTP and HTTPS are similar protocols that display web data on your device. (You can see what you are using by looking at the beginning text in the address box at the top of your Internet browser.) But, there’s one crucial difference: HTTPS (S for Secure) is a more secure, more advanced version. It keeps passwords private and is a safer connection so that other confidential information stays, well, confidential. So, when you are on public WiFi, check if the website you're using is HTTPS. If it isn't, wait until you’re back on a secured, private network before logging in or sending any data to that website. Do use a password manager and SSO (Single Secure Sign-on) Passwords are so mundane that we forget how critical they are to our online security. Unfortunately, public WiFi can expose us to attacks that allow cybercriminals to steal passwords. That's why it's essential to use a different password on every single website. A password manager simplifies the creation and management of strong passwords for all of your online accounts. Don’t neglect device security Security at the individual device level is essential, too. Keep software, in particular Internet browsers, and apps up-to-date. Updates have important security and bug fixes, so apply an update when one is available. Also, run anti malware software to spot malicious activity on your device. Don’t click links or open attachments from people you don’t know or seem out of character. Remember that links in apps like Facebook are not automatically safe - far from it in fact. And if you think you've spotted some unusual activity, investigate right away, and get help if you're not sure what you’re dealing with. With a few simple precautions, you can safely and conveniently work or entertain yourself while on the go, even when public WiFi is the only connection available. Get a password manager to start beefing up your password security and use our steps above to work safely from anywhere.
