The Question of Competence in the European Union

The classic debate surrounding the prolific role of the European Union in defining spheres of competence and power relationships has long divided scholarly opinion. However, in recent years, the long-standing acquiescence to the broad powers of the Union has given way to the emerging perception of a competence problem in Europe. For a long period it was taken for granted that the European Community could act whenever its action was justified on the basis of the widely interpreted objectives of the Treaties. However this context has since changed. There is a widespread perception of a competence problem in Europe and the overabundance of provisions limiting the Union's competences is one of the most obvious marks left by the Lisbon Treaty. This book discusses the extent to which the parameters of power throughout the Union and its Member States have been recast by the recent implementation of the Lisbon Treaty and doctrines developed by the European Court of Justice. Comprised of contributions from a vast array of leading practitioners and academics in the field of EU Law, this volume assesses the debate surrounding the political identity of the European Union, and further illustrates the relevance of the Federal theory of sharing competences for the development of EU Law. Finally, the question of new potential limits to Union's competence is addressed. If anything, this broad reflection on the notion of competence in the EU law context is a way of opening up the question of the nature and contours of the political identity of the European Union.

Adrenomedullin promotes intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma metastasis and invasion by inducing epithelial-mesenchymal transition

Intrahepatic cholangiocellular carcinoma (ICC) is the second most common type of primary liver cancer. However, its etiology and molecular pathogenesis remain largely unknown. The present study aimed to investigate the association between adrenomedullin (ADM) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in ICC and to elucidate the underlying signaling pathway. We evaluated the clinical significance of ADM in 133 ICC patients using tissue microarray analysis of ICC tissues. We also investigated the mechanisms of ADM in ICC EMT-mediated metastasis in cholangiocarci-noma cell lines in vitro. The results revealed that ADM was upregulated in human ICC tissues (73/133) compared with that in healthy controls. ADM expression was positively correlated with shorter overall survival (P<0.01). The characteristics of EMT were induced in vitro by adenoviral transduction of ADM into HuCCT1 cells, resulting in the downregulation of E-cadherin and ZO-1, and the concomitant upregulation of N-cadherin and vimentin. Knockdown of ADM by short hairpin RNA in HUH28 cells expressing high levels of ADM was associated with the reversal of EMT. Functional studies revealed that ADM regulated the activation of ZEB1, which subsequently mediated EMT. The results of the present study suggest that ADM plays an important role in ICC metastasis, and that ADM signaling of EMT may represent a valuable therapeutic target in cancer patients.
Prosodic variation in L2: a case of Germans speaking English

The present study investigates prosodic variation as realized by L2 speakers of varying pronunciation ability in comparison with native speakers of English. The results demonstrate the distribution of the rising contours on both the phonological (ToBI frequencies) and phonetic (values for six parameters of the F0 curve) levels. The rising contours and pitch accents have a wider distribution in German productions, and are therefore closer to the German prosodic pattern, as opposed to the native realizations. Another peculiarity concerns the F0 peak frequency parameter in L*H accents as realized by the below-average informants. Their values are significantly different from those of the native and average speakers. Further phonetic differences are to be tested for consistency effects on the subsequent research stages.

Understanding Teacher Resource Allocation in New York State Secondary Schools: A Case Study Approach.

indicators suggest that educators are under intense pressure from the public and others to demonstrate that resources devoted to education are being used in appropriate ways. Since 1990, more than half of the states have been involved in litigation challenging how public education is financed. Many of these claims address issues of equity in the allocation and use of educational resources. Taxpayers also appear to be expressing concern that schools are operating inefficiently and that students are failing to perform at desirable levels. In 1994, for example, over 31 percent of New York's school districts had their initial proposed budgets defeated in referenda, nearly double the figures reported in the 1980s.1 Public officials, facing increased pressure to provide health care and other support services, are also questioning the efficacy of higher educational expenditures in the absence of evidence supporting improved student learning. What underlies the concerns raised by these groups is the belief that policies designed to address these issues are better informed by descriptions of how schools allocate and use resources. Many recent studies explore how education dollars are used to purchase and hire schooling resources. In sum, these efforts succeed in measuring the flow of resources to specific functional areas including instruction, administration, operations, and trans-
Events are Not Simple: Identity, Non-Identity, and Quasi-Identity

Despite considerable theoretical and computational work on coreference, deciding when two entities or events are identical is very difficult. In a project to build corpora containing coreference links between events, we have identified three levels of event identity (full, partial, and none). Event coreference annotation on two corpora was performed to validate the findings.
Enabling classification and shading for 3D texture mapping based volume rendering using OpenGL and extensions

We present a new technique which enables direct volume rendering based on 3D texture mapping hardware, enabling shading as well as classification of the interpolated data. Our technique supports accurate lighting for a one directional light source, semi-transparent classification, and correct blending. To circumvent the limitations of one general classification, we introduce multiple classification spaces which are very valuable to understand the visualized data, and even mandatory to comprehensively grasp the 3D relationship of different materials present in the volumetric data. Furthermore, we illustrate how multiple classification spaces can be realized using existing graphics hardware. In contrast to previously reported algorithms, our technique is capable of performing all the above mentioned tasks within the graphics pipeline. Therefore, it is very efficient: The three dimensional texture needs to be stored only once and no load is put onto the CPU. Besides using standard OpenGL functionality, we exploit advanced per pixel operations and make use of available OpenGL extensions.
Improved technology acceptance model applied to study enterprise resource planning usage

This paper reports on the development of a model to improve the understanding of the extent of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system usage in universities. Previous research revealed that university ERP systems are not fully utilized by end-users, resulting in low usage and institutional inefficiencies. This leads to stakeholders particularly students and government pressurizing universities to improve their efficiency and performance. This study therefore attempted to improve ERP system usage by adapting Technology Acceptance Model 2 (TAM2) theoretical model with additional Information Technology (IT) system usage factors of training, management support, perceived behavioral control and technical support. A dataset of 312 full time academics from a University of Technology in South Africa was generated by a survey method to validate the developed research model using Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis technique. The predictive power comparison results showed that the research model better explained 23% of the variability in ERP system usage compared to TAM2 and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) which explained 3.6% and 5.2% of variability respectively. With the exception of management support, the additional IT system usage factors of training, technical support and perceived behavioral control were found to have a significant relationship with ERP system usage. In addition gender and experience moderated the effect of all additional IT system usage factors on ERP system usage except for the effect of training and perceived behavioral control respectively.
Expression of ERβ gene in breast carcinoma and the relevance in neoadjuvant therapy

In the present study, we examined the expression of the estrogen receptor β (ERβ) gene in breast cancer and its relevance in neoadjuvant therapy. In total, 120 breast cancer patients who were hospitalized in the Departments of Breast Disease and Medical Oncology served as the subjects of this study. The subjects were diagnosed with breast cancer phase II to phase IIIA, as confirmed by aspiration biopsy and iconography. The patients were divided into two groups in a randomized control manner, with 60 patients in each group. The experimental group was administered the taxotere + epirubicin + cyclophosphamide (TEC) plan for 3–4 cycles of chemotherapy before the modified radical operation of breast cancer. In the control group, no TEC chemotherapy was carried out prior to operation. Instead, the breast lesion was removed directly by operation. After the operation, the IHC method was used to stain the ERβ protein in the lesion tissue. The patients were classified according to whether the basement membrane was broken through; 5 cases had non-infiltrative carcinoma and 115 cases had infiltrative carcinoma. According to the pathology of the lesion, 114 cases had breast ductal carcinoma, 2 cases had mucinous breast carcinoma (of which there were 2 cases combined with ductal carcinoma), and 4 cases had breast lobular carcinoma. The ERβ gene was found to be expressed in normal and breast cancer tissues. When ERβ gene expression was compared before and after the chemotherapy, its expression was significantly increased in breast cancer tissues, which shows a significant statistical difference (P<0.05). In the experimental group, the expression of ERβ gene in carcinoma tissue was significantly lower than that in the control group, and differences were statistically significant (P<0.05). Therefore, expression of the ERβ gene in breast carcinoma tissues was high. The application of adjuvant chemotherapy before the modified radical operation for breast carcinoma can significantly lower the level of ERβ expression. The expression levels of ERβ gene in the carcinoma tissue of the patients can be treated as the evaluation index for neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Regarding targeted therapy and corresponding drug development for breast carcinoma, ERβ can act as one of the specific drug targets.
The Production of H I in Photodissociation Regions and a Comparison with CO (1-0) Emission

The gas at the surfaces of molecular clouds in galaxies is heated and dissociated by photons from young stars both near and far. H I resulting from the dissociation of molecular hydrogen H2 emits hyperfine line emission at 21 cm, and warmed CO emits dipole rotational lines such as the 2.6 mm line of CO (1-0). We use previously developed models for photodissociation regions (PDRs) to compute the intensities of these H I and CO (1-0) lines as a function of the total volume density n in the cloud and the far-ultraviolet (FUV) flux G0 incident on it and present the results in units familiar to observers. The intensities of these two lines behave differently with changing physical conditions in the PDR, and taken together, the two lines can provide a ground-based radio astronomy diagnostic for determining n and G0 separately in distant molecular clouds. This diagnostic is particularly useful in the range G0 ≲ 100, 10 cm-3 ≲ n ≲ 105 cm-3, which applies to a large fraction of the volume of the interstellar medium in galaxies. If the molecular cloud is located near discrete sources of far-UV (FUV) emission, the PDR-generated H I and CO (1-0) emission on the cloud surface can be more easily identified, appearing as layered "blankets" or "blisters" on the side of the cloud nearest the FUV source. As an illustration, we consider the Galactic object G216-2.5, i.e., "Maddalena's Cloud," which has been previously identified as a large PDR in the Galaxy. We determine that this cloud has n ≈ 200 cm-3 and G0 ≈ 0.8, consistent with other data.
Consistency in Fuzzy Description Logics over Residuated De Morgan Lattices

Fuzzy description logics can be used to model vague knowledge in application domains. This paper analyses the consistency and satisfiability problems in the description logic SHI with semantics based on a complete residuated De Morgan lattice. The problems are undecidable in the general case, but can be decided by a tableau algorithm when restricted to finite lattices. For some sublogics of SHI, we provide upper complexity bounds that match the complexity of crisp reasoning.
On the Latin American Growth Paradox: A Hindsight into the Golden Age

In 1950, Latin American countries capabilities were promising, and the subcontinent was thought to have a big potential for convergence. In order to understand why this prediction was not fullled, we apply in this paper the framework set by Fagerberg and Srholec (2008). Our study of the economic evolution of Latin America during the Golden Age (1950-1975) is based on historical data on economic, political and social variables from 18 countries. We use a factor analysis to classify our 20 indicators into ve dimensions: the level of "industrialization", "human capital", the "macroeconomic fundamentals", "politics" and "religion". We nd that only the quality of human capital and the presence of Roman Catholics signicantly and positively aected Latin American economic growth in this period, while the determinants traditionally put forward in the empirical growth literature, such as technical change and openness, did not. Finally, the positive correlation between the religion and education variables reveals that this result is partly related to the role of the Catholic Church as an educational institution.
Situational Context, Philosophical Belief, and Moral Constructs: The Multifaceted Nature of Moral Judgment

Recent studies have shown that different free will beliefs affect moral behavior. The purpose of the current study was to investigate whether different free will beliefs also influence moral judgment. College students (N = 56) were randomly assigned to one of three framing manipulations: free will, determinism, or neutral. They then read three morally questionable scenarios that differed by situational context. Following each scenario, participants completed a moral judgment questionnaire that measured four moral constructs: moral evaluation, moral responsibility, justification, and punishment. Finally, participants completed a Free Will & Determinism Questionnaire (FWD-Q) that measured their lay beliefs in free will and determinism. For analysis, we grouped participants according to their reported FWD-Q scores into one of three groups: free will, determinism, or compatibilism. We found that different free will beliefs influenced moral judgment to a small degree, but not in the ways that we predicted. Our results show that situational context affects moral judgment much more than lay philosophical beliefs regarding free will. Future studies should examine whether this still holds true for older adults with more developed worldviews.

Contingent Capital, Capital Structure and Investment

We examine the interaction between investment and financing policies in a dynamic model for a firm with existing assets-in-place and a growth option, of which investment cost is financed with equity and contingent convertible bonds (CoCos). We attempt to clarify how CoCos impact on investment timing, capital structure and inefficiencies arising from debt overhang and asset substitution. We show that there is a conversion ratio (the fraction of equity allocated to CoCo holders upon conversion) to eliminate the inefficiencies. Our conclusions predict that debt leverage decreases with investment option payoff factor and the average appreciation rate of the cash flow. In contrast to traditional corporate finance theory saying that a firm's value decreases globally with business risk, our model indicates that it might first decrease and then increase with asset volatility.
Population informatics-based system to improve osteoporosis screening in women in a primary care practice

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of using a population-based informatics system for osteoporosis screening and treatment in women aged 65 years or older. DESIGN A population-based informatics system (PRECARES: PREventive CAre REminder System) was implemented to meet the needs of the workflow of a primary care practice. Patients treated in either of two sections of a primary care internal medicine department were selected for the intervention, and patients of a comparable third section served as the control group. PRECARES identified women in the intervention group who were due for osteoporosis screening on the basis of age and who had no record of previous screening in our clinical system. If these eligible patients did not have an upcoming outpatient appointment, appointment secretaries sent a letter requesting that they call to make an appointment for a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry scan. MEASUREMENTS At baseline and 3 months after the letters were sent, a database was used to determine the rate of osteoporosis screening in the intervention and control groups. RESULTS A total of 689 patients in the intervention group were sent the letter. Three months after the letters were sent, the rate of osteoporosis screening was 76.4% (2409/3152) in the intervention group vs 69% (928/1344) in the control group (p<0.001). In the intervention group, 25% of the 689 patients responded to the letter and completed osteoporosis screening. Patients who had osteoporosis screening received appropriate treatment. CONCLUSION A population-based informatics system for primary care practice significantly improved the rate of osteoporosis screening.
A fast transistor-chaining algorithm for CMOS cell layout

A fast algorithm is proposed for the transistor-chaining problem in CMOS functional cell layout based on the layout style of T. Uehara and W.M. van Cleemput (1981). The algorithm takes a transistor-level circuit schematic and outputs a minimum set of transistor chains. Possible diffusion abutments between the transistor pairs are modeled as a bipartite graph. A depth-first search algorithm is used to search for the optimal chaining. Theorems on the set of branches that needs to be explored at each node of the search tree are derived. A theoretical lower bound on the size of the chain set is also derived. This bound enables one to prune the search tree efficiently. The algorithm has been implemented and tested and is able to find optimal solutions almost instantly for all the cases from the literature that were examined. >
Networks of Knowledge among Unionized Firms

We develop a model of strategic networks in order to analyze how trade unions will affect the stability of R&D networks through which knowledge is transmitted in an oligopolistic industry. Whenever firms settle wages, the partially connected network is likely to emerge in the long run if and only if knowledge spillovers are large enough. However, when unions settle wages, the complete network is the unique stable network. In other words, the stronger the union bargaining power is, the more symmetric stable R&D networks will be. In terms of network efficiency, the partially connected network (when firms settle wages) does not Pareto dominate the complete network (when unions settle wages) and vice versa.
