    Abstract Materialism is nearly universally assumed by cognitive scientists. Intuitively, materialism says that a person's mental states are nothing over and above his or her material states, while dualism denies this. Philosophers have introduced concepts (e.g., realization and supervenience) to assist in formulating the theses of materialism and dualism with more precision, and distinguished among importantly different versions of each view (e.g., eliminative materialism, substance dualism, and emergentism). They have also clarified the logic of arguments that use empirical findings to support materialism. Finally, they have devised various objections to materialism, objections that therefore serve also as arguments for dualism. These objections typically center around two features of mental states that materialism has had trouble in accommodating. The first feature is intentionality, the property of representing, or being about, objects, properties, and states of affairs external to the mental states. The second feature is phenomenal consciousness, the property possessed by many mental states of there being something it is like for the subject of the mental state to be in that mental state.

    Abstract Background: RNA viruses mutate at extremely high rates, forming an intra-host viral population of closely related variants, which allows them to evade the host's immune system and makes them particularly dangerous. Viral outbreaks pose a significant threat for public health, and, in order to deal with it, it is critical to infer transmission clusters, i.e., decide whether two viral samples belong to the same outbreak. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) can significantly help in tackling outbreak-related problems. While NGS data is first obtained as short reads, existing methods rely on assembled sequences. This requires reconstruction of the entire viral population, which is complicated, error-prone and time-consuming.
    Results: The experimental validation using sequencing data from HCV outbreaks shows that the proposed algorithm can successfully identify genetic relatedness between viral populations, infer transmission direction, transmission clusters and outbreak sources, as well as decide whether the source is present in the sequenced outbreak sample and identify it.
    Conclusions: Introduced algorithm allows to cluster genetically related samples, infer transmission directions and predict sources of outbreaks. Validation on experimental data demonstrated that algorithm is able to reconstruct various transmission characteristics. Advantage of the method is the ability to bypass cumbersome read assembly, thus eliminating the chance to introduce new errors, and saving processing time by allowing to use raw NGS reads.

    Abstract The availability of millions of SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus-2) sequences in public databases such as GISAID (Global Initiative on Sharing All Influenza Data) and EMBL-EBI (European Molecular Biology Laboratory-European Bioinformatics Institute) (the United Kingdom) allows a detailed study of the evolution, genomic diversity, and dynamics of a virus such as never before. Here, we identify novel variants and subtypes of SARS-CoV-2 by clustering sequences in adapting methods originally designed for haplotyping intrahost viral populations. We asses our results using clustering entropy-the first time it has been used in this context. Our clustering approach reaches lower entropies compared with other methods, and we are able to boost this even further through gap filling and Monte Carlo-based entropy minimization. Moreover, our method clearly identifies the well-known Alpha variant in the U.K. and GISAID data sets, and is also able to detect the much less represented (<1% of the sequences) Beta (South Africa), Epsilon (California), and Gamma and Zeta (Brazil) variants in the GISAID data set. Finally, we show that each variant identified has high selective fitness, based on the growth rate of its cluster over time. This demonstrates that our clustering approach is a viable alternative for detecting even rare subtypes in very large data sets.

    Abstract A Physicalist Manifesto is the fullest treatment yet of the comprehensive physicalist view that, in some important sense, everything is physical. Andrew Melnyk argues that the view is best formulated by appeal to a carefully worked-out notion of realization, rather than supervenience; that, so formulated, physicalism must be importantly reductionist; that it need not repudiate causal and explanatory claims framed in non-physical language; and that it has the a posteriori epistemic status of a broad-scope scientific hypothesis

    Abstract Background: RNA viruses such as HCV and HIV mutate at extremely high rates, and as a result, they exist in infected hosts as populations of genetically related variants. Recent advances in sequencing technologies make possible to identify such populations at great depth. In particular, these technologies provide new opportunities for inference of relatedness between viral samples, identification of transmission clusters and sources of infection, which are crucial tasks for viral outbreaks investigations.
    Results: We present (i) an evolutionary simulation algorithm Viral Outbreak InferenCE (VOICE) inferring genetic relatedness, (ii) an algorithm MinDistB detecting possible transmission using minimal distances between intra-host viral populations and sizes of their relative borders, and (iii) a non-parametric recursive clustering algorithm Relatedness Depth (ReD) analyzing clusters' structure to infer possible transmissions and their directions. All proposed algorithms were validated using real sequencing data from HCV outbreaks.
    Conclusions: All algorithms are applicable to the analysis of outbreaks of highly heterogeneous RNA viruses. Our experimental validation shows that they can successfully identify genetic relatedness between viral populations, as well as infer transmission clusters and outbreak sources.

    Abstract Rapidly evolving RNA viruses continuously produce minority haplotypes that can become dominant if they are drug-resistant or can better evade the immune system. Therefore, early detection and identification of minority viral haplotypes may help to promptly adjust the patient's treatment plan preventing potential disease complications. Minority haplotypes can be identified using next-generation sequencing, but sequencing noise hinders accurate identification. The elimination of sequencing noise is a non-trivial task that still remains open. Here we propose CliqueSNV based on extracting pairs of statistically linked mutations from noisy reads. This effectively reduces sequencing noise and enables identifying minority haplotypes with the frequency below the sequencing error rate. We comparatively assess the performance of CliqueSNV using an in vitro mixture of nine haplotypes that were derived from the mutation profile of an existing HIV patient. We show that CliqueSNV can accurately assemble viral haplotypes with frequencies as low as 0.1% and maintains consistent performance across short and long bases sequencing platforms.
