The Conceptualisation and Measurement of Issue Ownership

Issue ownership means that some parties are considered by the public at large as being more able to deal with, or more attentive to, certain issues. The theory has been used to explain both party behaviour - parties are expected to focus on owned issues - and voter behaviour - when a voter considers a party to own an issue, this affects the odds of voting for that party. The purpose of this article is, first, to provide a look backward at the existing research through a literature review of the studies that were conducted in the past decade-and-a-half. Secondly, it takes stock of the current conceptualisation and argues that issue ownership is a multidimensional concept. Thereafter the article discusses how this multidimensionality affects both the role of issue ownership in voter and in party behaviour. Finally, the article outlines a number of shortcomings of the extant literature and discusses potential avenues for future research.

Las riberas de los rios mediterraneos y su calidad: el uso del indice QBR

Se ha aplicado el QBR (índice de calidad del bosque de ribera) a 157 estaciones de muestreo localizadas en ríos pertenecientes a 12 cuencas diferentes del ámbito mediterráneo español. Los resultados indican que más del 34 % de las estaciones muestran valores de calidad buenos y muy buenos (QBR > 75), mientras que el 45 % presenta valores de mala y pésima calidad (QBR < 50). Según una tipología previa establecida para clasificar las estaciones de muestreo, los valores de mayor calidad de QBR se dan en estaciones de cabecera de cuencas calcáreas y en las zonas de karst. Los tipos denominados temporales y ramblas presentan los valores más bajos de calidad, o no tiene representantes de máxima calidad. La ausencia o escasez de bosques de riberas de máxima calidad en las cuencas del sur peninsular puede explicarse por el gradiente de aridez que se establece desde el norte hacia el sur. Además existe un evidente deterioro de las riberas desde las cabeceras a las desembocaduras de los ríos, de manera que ambos factores influyen en el estado actual de las riberas de los ríos mediterráneos ibéricos. Finalmente se discute la utilidad y limitaciones del QBR en ríos sometidos a situaciones de estrés hídrico o ambiental.

Radiothérapie « flash » à très haut débit de dose : un moyen d'augmenter l'indice thérapeutique par minimisation des dommages aux tissus sains [Ultrahigh dose-rate, "flash" irradiation minimizes the side-effects of radiotherapy].

PURPOSE: Pencil beam scanning and filter free techniques may involve dose-rates considerably higher than those used in conventional external-beam radiotherapy. Our purpose was to investigate normal tissue and tumour responses in vivo to short pulses of radiation. MATERIAL AND METHODS: C57BL/6J mice were exposed to bilateral thorax irradiation using pulsed (at least 40Gy/s, flash) or conventional dose-rate irradiation (0.03Gy/s or less) in single dose. Immunohistochemical and histological methods were used to compare early radio-induced apoptosis and the development of lung fibrosis in the two situations. The response of two human (HBCx-12A, HEp-2) tumour xenografts in nude mice and one syngeneic, orthotopic lung carcinoma in C57BL/6J mice (TC-1 Luc+), was monitored in both radiation modes. RESULTS: A 17Gy conventional irradiation induced pulmonary fibrosis and activation of the TGF-beta cascade in 100% of the animals 24-36 weeks post-treatment, as expected, whereas no animal developed complications below 23Gy flash irradiation, and a 30Gy flash irradiation was required to induce the same extent of fibrosis as 17Gy conventional irradiation. Cutaneous lesions were also reduced in severity. Flash irradiation protected vascular and bronchial smooth muscle cells as well as epithelial cells of bronchi against acute apoptosis as shown by analysis of caspase-3 activation and TUNEL staining. In contrast, the antitumour effectiveness of flash irradiation was maintained and not different from that of conventional irradiation. CONCLUSION: Flash irradiation shifted by a large factor the threshold dose required to initiate lung fibrosis without loss of the antitumour efficiency, suggesting that the method might be used to advantage to minimize the complications of radiotherapy.
