Publication Date: 2018-07-27Description: Das folgende Papier wird zunächst darauf eingehen, daß die führenden Parteien der meisten westeuropäischen Nationen bei den Wahlen in den fünfziger und sechziger Jahren gleichzeitig Wählerkontingente gewinnen oder verlieren, unabhängig von Ideologien, Parteistrukturen oder Kandidaten. Dann wird darauf hingewiesen, wie diese Schwankungen mit den Veränderungen im Anstieg des Pro-Kopf-Einkommens der Bewohner dieser Nationen einhergehen. Schließlich wird darauf hingewiesen, weshalb diese Analyse nur für die führenden Parteien angemessen scheint. Der Autor führt ein Modell vor für zukünftige Analysen von Wahlergebnissen auf nationaler Ebene und für den internationalen Vergleich.Keywords: Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie ; Politikwissenschaft ; Social sciences, sociology, anthropology ; Political science ; Erhebungstechniken und Analysetechniken der Sozialwissenschaften ; politische Willensbildung, politische Soziologie, politische Kultur ; Political Process, Elections, Political Sociology, Political Culture ; Methods and Techniques of Data Collection and Data Analysis, Statistical Methods, Computer Methods ; Wahlverhalten ; Partei ; Wahlergebnis ; Analyse ; Wahl ; Westeuropa ; voting behavior ; party ; election result ; Western Europe ; election ; analysisType: journal article, Zeitschriftenartikel -

Publication Date: 2018-07-26Description: "This paper is concerned with estimating preference functionals for choice under risk from the choice behaviour of individuals. We note that there is heterogeneity in behaviour between individuals and within individuals. By ‘heterogeneity between individuals’ we mean that people are different, in terms of both their preference functionals and their parameters for these functionals. By ‘heterogeneity within individuals’ we mean that behaviour may be different even by the same individual for the same choice problem. We propose methods of taking into account all forms of heterogeneity, concentrating particularly on using a Mixture Model to capture the heterogeneity of preference functionals."

ISSN: 1540-5915Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: EconomicsNotes: The potential of neural networks for classification problems has been established by numerous successful applications reported in the literature. One of the major assumptions used in almost all studies is the equal cost consequence of misclassification. With this assumption, minimizing the total number of misclassification errors is the sole objective in developing a neural network classifier. Often this is done simply to ease model development and the selection of classification decision points. However, it is not appropriate for many real situations such as quality assurance, direct marketing, bankruptcy prediction, and medical diagnosis where misclassification costs have unequal consequences for different categories. In this paper, we investigate the issue of unequal misclassification costs in neural network classifiers. Through an application in thyroid disease diagnosis, we find that different cost considerations have significant effects on the classification performance and that appropriate use of cost information can aid in optimal decision making. A cross-validation technique is employed to alleviate the problem of bias in the training set and to examine the robustness of neural network classifiers with regard to sampling variations and cost differences.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

The patient was otherwise asymptomatic with no other physical findings. Owing to parental concern, a biopsy was performed, which revealed numerous bacteria as well as Medlar bodies overlying the nail bed with no evidence of a nevomelanocytic lesion. To our knowledge, this is the first report of Medlar bodies causing pigmented streaks in the toenails.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

ISSN: 1600-0757Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: Five cell lines (one parental, two transformed melanin producing, and two transformed non-melanin producing) were evaluated for the responses to 2- and 4-hydroxyanisole (2HA, 4HA) alone or combined with hyperthermia or radiation. All cells exhibited a non-specific toxic response to the two compounds and the effect was exposure time and concentration dependent and was greater for 4HA compared to 2HA. In addition, the two melanin-producing cell lines were more sensitive, demonstrating specific toxicity to such cell lines. The treatment with either 2HA or 4HA combined with heat and radiation resulted mostly in additive or antagonistic effects, except for one combination of 2HA plus radiation in the melanin-producing R25 cells. Thus, while these compounds may be useful in therapy for pigmented melanomas, combined treatment with radiation is not recommended.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Cultured renomedullary interstitial cells (RMIC) isolated from 4-week-old Sprague-Dawley rat kidneys possess ETA receptors, as identified by reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).2. Treatment with endothelin (ET)-1 (10−6 mol/L) increases the intracellular inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate concentrations within 10 s and intracellular calcium concentrations after 7 s.3. Endothelin-1 (10−7 and 10−10 mol/L) induced increases in intracellular cAMP concentrations, but only in the presence of Nω-nitro-L-arginine, a nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor. Addition of ET-1 (10−10 mol/L) to the RMIC culture led to increases in intracellular cGMP concentrations through activation of NOS.4. In the presence of ET-1 (10−7 and 10−10 mol/L) and during NOS inhibition, RMIC responded with increased cell proliferation and extracellular matrix (ECM) synthesis. These responses were abolished by BQ-123 (10−6 mol/L), suggesting mediation via the ETA receptor subtype. The proliferative effect of ET-1 was also abolished by atrial natriuretic peptide (10−6 mol/L).5. The present study provides evidence that binding of ET-1 to ETA receptors on RMIC activates several intracellular second messenger systems that mediate cell proliferation and ECM synthesis.6. These results also highlight an important interaction between ET-1 and nitric oxide in the control of RMIC function.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

The natriuretic and diuretic effects of three atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) infusion rates were examined in rats 4 weeks after myocardial infarction induced by left coronary artery ligation.2. The natriuretic and diuretic effects of ANP were observed in controls and rats with infarction, but the effects were significantly attenuated in the latter.3. Rats with chronic left heart failure were less sensitive to the renal effects of ANP compared with controls.4. Impaired sodium and water excretion in chronic heart failure may be due partly to an attenuated renal response to ANP.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Changes in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) were examined in conscious rabbits in response to a 33% blood volume expansion in intact animals and after blockade of cardiac nerve activity.2. Blood volume expansion by one-third markedly increased right atrial pressure and resulted in a four-fold increase in plasma ANP.3. Cardiac nerve blockade with intrapericardial procaine had no effect on resting plasma ANP levels. The ANP responses to volume expansion in the presence of cardiac nerve blockade were similar to those seen in intact animals.4. Release of ANP from its cardiac stores in response to volume expansion is not influenced by cardiac nerve activity.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1987Staff ViewISSN: 1440-1681Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: SUMMARY1. A specific and sensitive radioimmunoassay has been developed and used to measure circulating atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in normal man and in patients with chronic renal failure.2. Circulating ANP levels rose with head-down tilt and exercise, and were raised in patients with chronic renal failure in proportion to volume status. This suggests that ANP release is mediated via increased atrial stretch, although other release mechanisms cannot be excluded.3. Extracts of normal human plasma subjected to reverse phase HPLC showed one major peak of immunoreactivity co-migrating with α-human ANP. However, when plasma extracts from patients with renal failure were chromatographed on a similar system, a second later eluting peak of ANP immunoreactivity was observed. This may represent circulating ANP precursors or degradation molecules.4. Significant arteriovenous differences in plasma ANP concentration were observed in patients with chronic renal failure. Arterial and venous plasma ANP levels decreased slightly after haemodialysis. Plasma ANP concentrations were inversely correlated with haematocrit in these patients.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1995Staff ViewISSN: 1440-1797Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: Summary: Angirotensin II (AII) is a powerful humoral regulator of body fluid and electrolyte balance and arterial blood pressure. In the kidney, All influences renal haemodynamics and proximal tubular reabsorption of sodium through activation of All that mediate complex signal transduction pathways. Angiotensin II is also implicated in the pathophysiological process of some progressive renal diseases. Pharmacological characterization and molecular cloning of All receptor reveals at least two major subtypes of All receptors, AT1 and AT2, in the kidney and other tissues. the AT1 receptor cDNA encodes a 359 amino acid protein with structure typical of seven transmembrane G-protein coupled receptors. Two isoforms of AT1 receptor, AT1A and AT1B, are known in rodents, but probably only one occurs in other mammals including humans. the AT2 receptor cDNA, a 363 amino acid protein, shares only 32% identical amino acid residues with AT1 receptor, although it also has a seven transmembrane domain topology. In adult mammalian kidneys, AT1 receptors predominate in the glomerular mesangium, proximal tubular epithelium, renomedullary interstitial cells in the inner stripe of the outer medulla and large preglomerular vessels except those in human and monkey where AT2 receptors predominate. By contrast, in foetal kidneys, AT2 receptors are the major subtype; however, this shows dramatic regulation during development. Physiological studies using AT1 selective antagonists show that the known actions of All on renal haemodynamics, glomerular filtration, and tubular sodium and water transport are mediated by this subtype of All receptors. In addition, AT1 receptors also mediate hypertrophic and mitogenic actions of All on cultured glomerular mesangial cells and proximal tubular epithelial cells, and on extra-cellular matrix accumulation in animal models of progressive renal diseases. By contrast, blockade of AT2 receptors has no effect on renal haemodynamics, tubular sodium reabsorption or growth properties of All. Overall, All exerts multiple actions in the kidney by interacting with different subtypes of All receptors located on multiple cellular sites.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

Published 1999Staff ViewISSN: 1440-1681Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005Topics: MedicineNotes: 1. Renomedullary interstitial cells (RMIC), abundant throughout the medulla of the kidney, have been demonstrated to have binding sites for many vasoactive peptides, including atrial natriuretic peptide, endothelin, angiotensin II and bradykinin (BK). These observations would support the hypothesis that interactions between RMIC and vasoactive peptides are important in the regulation of renal function.2. We aimed to localize the BK B2 receptor binding site to RMIC in vivo and to also demonstrate that these receptors are biologically active in vitro.3. The present study demonstrates BK B2 binding sites on RMIC of the inner stripe of the outer medulla and the inner medulla of the rat kidney in vivo.4. We further demonstrate that the BK B2 radioligand [125I]-HPP-Hoe140 specifically bound to rat RMIC in vitro. In addition, reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction detected the mRNA for the BK B2 receptor subtype in cell extracts.5. For RMIC in vitro, cAMP levels were increased at 1 min and cGMP levels were increased at 2 min after treatment with 10–10 and 10–7 mol/L BK, respectively. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate was increased at 10 s treatment with both 10–6 and 10–7 mol/L BK.6. For RMIC in vitro, BK induced an increase in cell proliferation ([3H]-thymidine incorporation) and an increase in extracellular matrix synthesis (ECM; trans-[35S] incorporation), both effects mediated by BK B2 receptors.7. We conclude that BK B2 receptors are present on RMIC both in vivo and in vitro. These receptors are coupled to intracellular second messenger systems and, in vitro, their stimulation results in cellular proliferation and synthesis of ECM.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL: -

The sporogonic cycles of Plasmodium schwetzi, P. vivax and P. ovale are distinctly different with regard to rate of sporozoite development and median oocyst diameter. Differences in the oocyst structure, particularly with regard to the presence of inclusions in those of P. schwetzi, were noted. These findings tend to support the continued designation of these parasites as distinct and separate species.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
