This feeding strategy did not materially increase lifespan, so this cannot explain the observed increase in cancer risk.
Thomas follows Siger of Courtrai in distinguishing between active and passive modi significandi/modi intelligendi to explain the difference between the act of signifying/understanding (materially construed as a property of the utterance/concept) and the object signified/understood (materially construed as a property of the thing signified/understood).
The problem for these advocates has been to explain convincingly why society should be prevented from materially benefiting the least advantaged when this benefit requires a deviation from strict equality.
Although results did not materially differ between the sexes, modifiable risk factors tended to explain a larger proportion of the socioeconomic gradient in type 2 diabetes in women than in men (attenuation for the model accounting for long term exposure to the risk factors: 42% in men and 81% in women, P for difference between the two estimations=0.43).
Haecceities could be required to explain the identity of particulars (i.e. their distinction from all other particulars), provided that such identity can be explained neither qualitatively nor materially (as it is on most rival accounts).
To test if lifestyle improvement related to the start of statin treatment could explain why smokers showed a larger risk reduction with statins, we adjusted for smoking cessation within six months of the start of statin treatment, but this did not materially change the effect of statin treatment on coronary heart disease risk (hazard ratio 0.20 (0.15 to 0.26), P<0.001).
However, this should not explain our null finding because recent studies on trans-fatty-acid biomarkers do not support a direct association with diabetes risk [ 40– 43] and including multivitamin supplement use in the aHEI did not materially change our results (data not shown).
Explain, explain, explain.
"The committee's prior belief had been that this outcome could lead to a materially lower path for growth," it explained.
The SEC called the proxy materials materially false and misleading.
