Supplement: "Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914" (2016, ApJL, 826, L13)
This Supplement provides supporting material for Abbott et al. (2016a). We briefly summarize past electromagnetic (EM) follow-up efforts as well as the organization and policy of the current EM follow-up program. We compare the four probability sky maps produced for the gravitational-wave transient GW150914, and provide additional details of the EM follow-up observations that were performed in the different bands

A cross-disease meta-GWAS identifies four new susceptibility loci shared between systemic sclerosis and Crohn’s disease
Abstract: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified a number of genetic risk loci associated with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and Crohn’s disease (CD), some of which confer susceptibility to both diseases. In order to identify new risk loci shared between these two immune-mediated disorders, we performed a cross-disease meta-analysis including GWAS data from 5,734 SSc patients, 4,588 CD patients and 14,568 controls of European origin. We identified 4 new loci shared between SSc and CD, IL12RB2, IRF1/SLC22A5, STAT3 and an intergenic locus at 6p21.31. Pleiotropic variants within these loci showed opposite allelic effects in the two analysed diseases and all of them showed a significant effect on gene expression. In addition, an enrichment in the IL-12 family and type I interferon signaling pathways was observed among the set of SSc-CD common genetic risk loci. In conclusion, through the first cross-disease meta-analysis of SSc and CD, we identified genetic variants with pleiotropic effects on two clinically distinct immune-mediated disorders. The fact that all these pleiotropic SNPs have opposite allelic effects in SSc and CD reveals the complexity of the molecular mechanisms by which polymorphisms affect diseases
Taller interinstitucional de proyecto urbano: otras alternativas para Cali a la autopista Bicentenario.
El Taller de Proyecto Urbano de la Universidad del Valle (taller vertical que vincula estudiantes de sexto, séptimo y octavo semestre de pregrado de Arquitectura), ha hecho una alianza con el Taller de Proyecto Urbano de la Universidad de San Buenaventura Cali (conformado por estudiantes de séptimo semestre del pregrado de Arquitectura) para hacer propuestas alternativas a la autopista, con el fin de generar una reflexión técnica y conceptual sobre cuál debería ser el papel del conector urbano férreo y par vial de las calles 25 y 26 en el desarrollo de Cali y qué alternativas y proyectos serían los indicados para la consolidación de un proyecto que genere espacios urbanos de calidad, cohesión social, sostenibilidad, renovación y productividad.Universidad de San Buenaventura - Cal
