title: What is technology? Development and evaluation of a simple instrument for measuring children's conceptions of technology

description: Technology is important to all aspects of our lives, so helping students develop an accurate understanding of technology should be an educational goal at the K-12 level. Assessments are important tools in reaching this goal. We developed an instrument to measure the technology conceptions of children ages 8–11, the ‘What is Technology’ (WT) instrument. We gathered evidence for the validity of using the WT instrument to measure children's conceptions of technology, including changes due to an intervention, and we describe those changes. We used exploratory factor analysis (EFA) to establish scales, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with new samples of subjects to confirm our hypothesised model of children's conceptions. For further evidence, we analyzed and coded the written responses children gave to open-ended questions asking them to explain their understanding of technology, then calculated correlations between these codes and the CFA-confirmed scale measures. We found that children tend to think of technology as artifacts that are powered by electrical energy; however, after instruction most children's conceptions become more consistent with definitions given in educational standards. The instrument is shown to be valid and reliable for its intended use, to assess preadolescent children's conceptions of technology, and evaluate the impact of an intervention.

title: Cluster dynamics of financial centres in the UK: do connected firms grow faster?

description: This study investigates the connection between network centrality and firm growth on a sample of 3224 financial services firms located in the UK in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. The findings, based on a spatial econometric model of long-term firm growth, indicate that firms that span structural holes, engage in co-management appointments and have network connections to related companies in other financial centres grow faster. In contrast, such connections generate substantial negative indirect effects on proximate firms, leading to a divergence of growth rates between globally connected and locally embedded firms.

title: Explaining institutional strength: the case of national human rights institutions in Europe and its Neighbourhood

description: National human rights institutions have spread rapidly across Europe and its Neighbourhood consolidating their powers to protect human rights. Yet, we know little about the causes for change in the strength of national human rights institutions over time. We propose an analysis of institutional strength along two dimensions of safeguards – durability and enforcement – based on original data for 50 states. We illustrate the quantitative analysis with two case studies – Hungary and Poland. We find that European Union membership conditionality is the strongest predictor of increased strength in national human rights institutions. Additionally, we find evidence of democratic ‘lock-in’, as newly democratized states seek to increase the durability of their institutions. The influence of the United Nations and the European Union, through state networks, increases the strength of national human rights institutions, particularly their durability. The Council of Europe has a positive impact on the institutional safeguards for enforcement.

title: Left parties, voter preferences, and economic policy-making in Europe

description: Classic partisan theory posits that political parties translate their electorates’ preferences into policies. Accordingly, the recent changes in left parties’ voter base, from predominantly working-class to middle-class voters, should have resulted in changing policy positions and policy effects of left parties. We test this expectation for economic policies (i.e., subsidies, product market regulation, and privatization) in 16 European countries between 1980 and 2012. We find the expected relationships for subsidies but not for regulation and privatization. This can be explained by the fact that only with regard to subsidies, preferences substantially differ between the working- and the middle-class. Thus, economic policy preferences of voters of left parties diverge less than could be expected. Methodologically, the study suggests that empirically testing the complete causal mechanism of classic partisan theory, assessing voters’ preferences and investigating more than one issue area, are promising ways to study partisan effects on public policies.

title: Comprehensive genotyping of the <i>C9orf72</i> hexanucleotide repeat region in 2095 ALS samples from the NINDS collection using a two-mode, long-read PCR assay

description: <i>Objective</i>: Expansion of the G<sub>4</sub>C<sub>2</sub> repeat tract in the <i>C9orf72</i> gene is linked to frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Here, we provide comprehensive genotyping of the <i>C9orf72</i> repeat region for the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) ALS collection (<i>n</i> = 2095), using a novel bimodal PCR assay capable of amplifying nearly 100% GC-rich sequences. <i>Methods</i>: A single-tube 3-primer PCR assay mode, resolved using capillary electrophoresis, was used for sizing up to 145 repeats with single-repeat accuracy, for detecting expansions irrespective of their overall size, and for flagging confounding 3′ sequence variations (SVs). A modified two-primer PCR mode, resolved via agarose gel electrophoresis, provided further size information for hyper-expanded samples (&gt;145 repeats) up to ∼5.8 kb amplicons (∼950 G<sub>4</sub>C<sub>2</sub> repeats). <i>Results</i>: Within the evaluated cohort, 177 (8.4%) samples were expanded, with 175 (99%) samples being hyper-expanded. 3′-SVs were identified in 64 (3.1%) samples, and were most common in expanded alleles. Genotypes of all 606 (29%) homozygous samples were confirmed using an orthogonal PCR assay. <i>Conclusion</i>: This study and PCR method may improve and standardize molecular characterization of the <i>C9orf72</i> locus, and have the potential to inform phenotype–genotype correlations and therapeutic development in ALS/FTD.

title: List of papers selected in bibliographic search from Ageing via perception costs of reproduction magnifies sexual selection

description: Understanding what factors modulate sexual selection intensity is crucial to a wide variety of evolutionary processes. Recent studies show that perception of sex pheromones can severely impact male mortality when it is not followed by mating (perception costs of reproduction). Here, we examine the idea that this may magnify sexual selection by further decreasing the fitness of males with inherently low mating success, hence increasing the opportunity for sexual selection. We use mathematical modelling to show that even modest mortality perception costs can significantly increase variability in male reproductive success under a wide range of demographic conditions. We then conduct a series of assays suggesting that, in <i>D. melanogaster</i>, failure to reproduce early in life may, via perception costs of reproduction, significantly reduce the subsequent fitness of males (<i>ca</i> 25%), due mostly to increased reproductive ageing. Altogether, our results strongly suggest that perception costs of reproduction can magnify sexual selection in a biologically significant way. Finally, we estimate that around 29% of available studies quantify sexual selection based on short-term fitness estimates that may fail to capture these effects (if they were present in their subject species), and suggest addressing the existence and impact of perception costs of reproduction across taxa should thus be a priority.
