Emotional and user-specific cues for improved analysis of naturalistic interactions

... ist es nicht möglich, die in dieser Arbeit identifizierten offenen Fragen restlos zu klären. Die Erweiterung der puren akustischen Emotionserkennung durch Berücksichtigung von anderen Modalitäten, Sprechercharakteristiken, Feedbacksignalen und Persönlichkeitsmerkmalen erlaubt es jedoch, länger andauernde natürliche Interaktionen zu untersuchen und dialogkritische Situationen zu erkennen. Technische Systeme, die diese erweiterte Emotionserkennung nutzen, passen sich an ihren Nutzer an und werden so zu seinem Begleiter und letztendlich zu seinem Companion.

Interactions between product and labour market reforms

Labour market reforms face very often opposition from the employed workers, because it normally reduces their wages. Also product market regulations are regularly biased towards too much benefitting the firms. As a result there remain many frictions in both the labour and product markets that hinder an optimal functioning of the economy. These issues have recently received a lot of attention in the economics literature and scholars have been looking for politically viable reforms in both markets. However, despite its potential importance, there has been done virtually no research on the interaction between reforms in product and labour markets. We find that when combining reforms, the opposition for reforms decreases considerably. This is because there exist complementarities and the gains in total welfare can be more evenly distributed over the interest groups. Moreover, the interaction of reforms offers a way out for the so-called 'sclerosis' effect.

Estudi de la resposta immune enfront de Neospora caninum

S’investiga la resposta immune que té lloc en la infecció experimental de les vedelles gestants amb Neospora caninum a les 3, 6 i 9 setmanes postinfecció, amb especial interès en els teixits placentaris. Donada la importancia que tenen les citoquines en la resposta immune a la infecció, s’ha posat a punt les tècniques de RT-PCR a temps real per a l’estudi de l’expressió génica de citoquines del boví. En una fase posterior s’ha estudiat la dinàmica dels anticossos durant l’experiment, la transmissió transplacentària mitjançant l’anàlisi de la presència de DNA parasitari en teixits, la relació entre la producció de IFN-gamma en fluids fetals i, els avortaments i la trasmissió transplacentària i, finalment, el patró de citoquines, amb èmfasi en la interfase materno-fetal.

Chagas' disease: selective affinity and cytotoxicity of Trypanosoma cruzi-immune lymphocytes to parasympathetic ganglion cells

The megaesophagus and megacolon endemic in South America are related , to Chagas' disease. These mega conditions are found in patients with chronic Chagas's infection, when the parasite is not demonstrable in the lesions. These are characterized by depopulation of parasympathetic ganglion cells, dilation and hypertrophy of the viscera. In the experiments described here we deminstrate a selective affinity and adherence of Trypanosoma cruzi-immune lymphocytes to myenteric, parasympathetic ganglion cells, leading to neuronolysis. None of these features are observed when non-immune lymphocytes from control rabbits are used, or when the immune lymphocytes are allowed to react with CNS neurons. This demonstration is an indication of the high degree of specificity of the destruction of parasympathetic neurons in Chagas' disease. We postulate that the T. cruzi-immune lymphocyte rejection of parasympathetic neurons, but not of CNS neurons, might be related to recognition of a cross-reacting antigenic determinant secreted only by the target neurons. In favor of this interpretation is the observation of lymphocytic infiltrates and parasympathetic ganglion cell destruction in chronic Chagas' infection in the absence of encephalitis.

Cross-suppression of specific immune responses after oral tolerance

Adult normal inbred mice rendered tolerant to OVA by previous oral exposure do not respond to intraperitonela immunization with DNP-OVA in adjuvant. These tolerant mice also form less DNP-specific antibodies to DNP-KLH when immunized with mixtures of DNP-KLH and DNP-OVA, or less HGG-specific antibodies when immunized with cross-linked conjugates of OVA and HGG. These same procedures increased DNP-specific or HGG-specific responses in non-tolerant control mice. The cross-supperssion was ineffective, however, to inhibit already ongoing antibody responses.
