The rs17782313 polymorphism near MC4R gene confers a high risk of obesity and hyperglycemia, while PGC1α rs8192678 polymorphism is weakly correlated with glucometabolic disorder: a... by Youjin Zhang, Shiyun Li, Haiyan Nie, Xue Wang, Xuanxuan Li, Jinhui Wen, Mengxi Li, Yongyan Song

“…BackgroundThe relationships of the rs17782313 polymorphism near melanocortin 4 receptor gene (MC4R) and the rs8192678 polymorphism in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1 alpha gene (PGC1α) with metabolic abnormalities have been explored in many populations around the world, but the findings were not all consistent and sometimes even a bit contradictory.MethodsElectronic databases including Medline, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, CNKI and Google Scholar were checked for studies that met the inclusion criteria. …”

Francisco Suárez sulla realtà e l’esistenza: concetti di “primo” e “secondo ordine” / F. Suárez on reality and existence: a “first” and a “second-order” concepts... by Ilaria Acquaviva

“…As soon as one looks a bit further into the matter, however, it become apparent, as I shall consider briefly in the concluding remarks, that this inquiry on Suarez’s signification of ens ut nomen and ens ut participium will be particulary helpful to bring in favour of contemporary discussion of such so-called “two sense theory of existence” and, parhaps, there may be some historical and theoretical interests, related to the logical order and the ontological commitment derived from these two sense of existence, in considering what the effect would be if a more strictly suarezian approach were followed Keywords: ens ut nomen/ens ut participium, first and second-order concepts, high-level property, Frege, real essence, Suárez, two sense theory of existence. …”
