Tax Credits Contingent Liabilities Brief August 14, 2009

The Tax Credits Contingent Liabilities Report was created by the Tax Research and Program Analysis Section of the Iowa Department of Revenue (IDR) for the benefit of the Revenue Estimating Conference (REC). This report is part of the Tax Credits Tracking and Analysis Program. The goal of the program is to provide a repository for information concerning the awarding, usage, and effectiveness of tax credits. This report forecasts tax credit claims assuming that all available awarded credits are issued and then, along with forecasted credits, are subsequently claimed.

Genome-wide association study to identify common variants associated with brachial circumference: a meta-analysis of 14 cohorts.

Brachial circumference (BC), also known as upper arm or mid arm circumference, can be used as an indicator of muscle mass and fat tissue, which are distributed differently in men and women. Analysis of anthropometric measures of peripheral fat distribution such as BC could help in understanding the complex pathophysiology behind overweight and obesity. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic variants associated with BC through a large-scale genome-wide association scan (GWAS) meta-analysis. We used fixed-effects meta-analysis to synthesise summary results across 14 GWAS discovery and 4 replication cohorts comprising overall 22,376 individuals (12,031 women and 10,345 men) of European ancestry. Individual analyses were carried out for men, women, and combined across sexes using linear regression and an additive genetic model: adjusted for age and adjusted for age and BMI. We prioritised signals for follow-up in two-stages. We did not detect any signals reaching genome-wide significance. The FTO rs9939609 SNP showed nominal evidence for association (p<0.05) in the age-adjusted strata for men and across both sexes. In this first GWAS meta-analysis for BC to date, we have not identified any genome-wide significant signals and do not observe robust association of previously established obesity loci with BC. Large-scale collaborations will be necessary to achieve higher power to detect loci underlying BC.

Traductions scientifiques et transferts culturels 1 : Acte du colloque de relève organisé à l'Université de Lausanne le 14 mars 2008

Que se passe-t-il quand un texte de type scientifique est transposé d'un contexte (national, linguistique, académique) à un autre? Les articles réunis dans ce volume, issus d'un colloque de relève organisé à l'Université de Lausanne le 14 mars 2008, traitent cette question en se focalisant notamment sur les sujets suivants: - Retraduire Bakhtine et Voloshinov en français aujourd'hui; problèmes conceptuels; l'importation des courants critiques. - Traduire les Russes: «la grande Lumière qui vient de l'Est» et le filtre du marxisme occidental. - La traduction comme réinvention d'un texte. L'anachronisme comme effet de sens, le malentendu comme effet de reconnaissance. - La traduction scientifique comme pratique: questions de traductologie; les débats historiques sur la traduction; les polémiques autour des traductions; la comparaison des traductions. - La traduction comme échange (inégal) entre les nations; enjeux scientifiques et culturels des traductions; constitution de corpus transnationaux; mondialisation des savoirs et dépassement des catégories nationales de la pensée académique.
