Surviving in the BRICS: the struggle of South African business in coping with new partners and investors

Wenzel, Nadine ; Freund, Bill ; Graefe, Olivier

In: International Review of Applied Economics, 2019, vol. 33, no. 1, p. 51–70

The purpose of this paper is to improve our understanding of how South African economic actors react to the gradual entry of non-South African BRICS firms in their established business areas. Throughout the twentieth century, South Africa’s trade and investment activities were conducted overwhelmingly with Western countries. However, the end of apartheid coincided with significant shifts as...

Sustained enhancements in inhibitory control depend primarily on the reinforcement of fronto-basal anatomical connectivity

Chavan, Camille ; Mouthon, Michael ; Simone, Marie ; Hoogewoud, tHenri-Marcel ; Draganski, Bogdan ; Zwaag, Wietske van der ; Spierer, Lucas

In: Brain Structure and Function, 2017, vol. 222, no. 1, p. 635–643

What are the neurophysiological determinants of sustained supra-normal inhibitory control performance? We addressed this question by coupling multimodal neuroimaging and behavioral investigations of experts in fencing who underwent more than 20,000 h of inhibitory control training over 15 years. The superior control of the experts manifested behaviorally as a speeding-up of inhibition...

Sustained improvement of negative self-schema after a single ketamine infusion: an open-label study

Hasler, Gregor ; Suker, Samir ; Schoretsanitis, Georgios ; Mihov, Yoan

In: Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2020, vol. 14, p. -

Conventional antidepressants have several important limitations, including a lack of direct effects on negative self-schema, which is at the core of Beck’s cognitive theory of depression. Based on previous studies showing a positive effect of ketamine on negative cognition, we compared reductions in negative self-schema between responders and non-responders to a single infusion of ketamine....

SV40-induced expression of calretinin protects mesothelial cells from asbestos cytotoxicity and may be a key factor contributing to mesothelioma pathogenesis

Henzi, Thomas ; Blum, Walter-Vincent ; Pfefferli, Martine ; Kawecki, Tadeusz J. ; Salicio, Valérie ; Schwaller, Beat

In: American Journal of Pathology, 2009, vol. 174, p. 2324-2336

The calcium-binding protein calretinin has emerged as a useful marker for the identification of mesotheliomas of the epithelioid and mixed types, but its putative role in tumor development has not been addressed previously. Although exposure to asbestos fibers is considered the main cause of mesothelioma, undoubtedly, not all mesothelioma patients have a history of asbestos exposure. The question...

SV-AUTOPILOT: optimized, automated construction of structural variation discovery and benchmarking pipelines

Leung, Wai Yi ; Marschall, Tobias ; Paudel, Yogesh ; Falquet, Laurent ; Mei, Hailiang ; Schönhuth, Alexander ; Maoz, Tiffanie Yael

In: BMC Genomics, 2016, vol. 16, p. 238

Many tools exist to predict structural variants (SVs), utilizing a variety of algorithms. However, they have largely been developed and tested on human germline or somatic (e.g. cancer) variation. It seems appropriate to exploit this wealth of technology available for humans also for other species. Objectives of this work included: a) Creating an automated, standardized pipeline for SV...

The swing voter's curse in social networks

Buechel, Berno ; Mechtenberg, Lydia

(Working Papers SES ; 485)

We study private communication in social networks prior to a majority vote on two alternative policies. Some (or all) agents receive a private imperfect signal about which policy is correct. They can, but need not, recommend a policy to their neighbors in the social network prior to the vote. We show theoretically and empirically that communication can undermine efficiency of the vote and hence...
