Inferring structural variant cancer cell fraction by Cmero, M, Yuan, K, Ong, CS, Schröder, J, PCAWG Evolution and Heterogeneity Working Group, Corcoran, NM, Papenfuss, T, Hovens, CM, Markowetz, F, Macintyre, G, PCAWG Consortium

“…We find that SVclone's performance is comparable to single-nucleotide variant-based methods, despite having an order of magnitude fewer data points. As part of the Pan-Cancer Analysis of Whole Genomes (PCAWG) consortium, which aggregated whole-genome sequencing data from 2658 cancers across 38 tumour types, we use SVclone to reveal a subset of liver, ovarian and pancreatic cancers with subclonally enriched copy-number neutral rearrangements that show decreased overall survival. …”

“…A number of companies (such as Repsol/YPF before its nationalization in April 2012, Total, Apache, Exxon, Shell, Pan American Energy, and Americas Petrogas) have already begun exploring, with Repsol/ YPF making a significant discovery in December 2011.…”

ʿAbdallāh ʿAzzām and Palestine by Hegghammer, T

“…His time fighting the Israel Defense Forces with the Fedayeen in 1969–70 gave him a taste of combat and a glimpse of pan-Islamic solidarity in practice. The inaccessibility of the battlefield after 1970 combined with ʿAzzām’s distaste for the leftist PLO led him to pursue the more accessible jihad in Afghanistan instead. …”

The marble statuettes from the Athenian Agora, first century BC to fourth century AD by Martens, B

“…The statuettes depict gods and goddesses in the forms of well-known classical and hellenistic models: Aphrodite, Asklepios, Eros, Artemis, Herakles, Pan, Apollo, Tyche, and Hermes, among others. In addition to the close autopsy and description of individual works, the primary aim of this study is to examine the statuettes as a group of cultural artefacts that document religion, society, and artistic production in Athens and beyond. …”

Contentious consensus: challenges of diversity to identity-based language policies by Jain, Ritu

“…The chapter begins by tracing the process by which Tamil became established as the pan-Indian identity; evaluates policy measures necessitated for the accommodation of languages (in education) marginalised through such representation; assesses implications of the availability of choice as well as of the preference of Hindi among the more recently arriving immigrants; finally, it highlights the Scylla and Charybdis dilemma of contemporary policy makers: reinforcing the majority linguistic identity (Tamil) disadvantages those with alternate language affiliations while acknowledging additional languages enhances the risk of a contending identity and a potential breach of community harmony. …”

The Malaysian 'Islamic' state versus the Islamic state (IS) : evolving definitions of 'Terror' in an 'Islamising' nation-state by Chan, Nicholas Wai Yeap

“…Akin to a case of semantic acrobatics, we demonstrate how the Malaysian state securitised (1980-2001), normalised (2001-2013), and resecuritised (2014 onwards) the term as a result of a balancing act which not only aimed at neutralising the elements of militancy, but also to augment the state's ' Islamic ' credentials in a bid to outplay its major Islamist opponent, the Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS). At the end, following the emergence of a transnational insurgent/quasi-state/ terrorist/ideology hybrid, the Islamic State (IS), we argue that the Malaysian state is now embroiled in an ' Islamic state versus Islamic State' trap, where the state after appropriating and normalising the ' Islamic state' ideal, has no choice but to contend with what is fundamentally a ' terrorist' group (by the state's own definition) in religious terms. …”
