A critical juncture ? The 2004 European Elections and the making of a supranational elite
No full textThis article considers the emergence of a cohesive political elite within the European Parliament. Moving from a short review of the literature and drawing on some preliminary data, the paper discusses alternative hypotheses to explain the recruitment and career pattern of MEPs and introduces a typology of members. Afterwards, the paper compares representatives of the new EU member states with the ‘pioneer parliamentarians’ elected in 1979 and with their colleagues elected in the 15 countries of the ‘old’ European Union. Signs of a new pattern of European political career appear to be emerging, thus providing a new possible set of explanatory hypotheses about the evolution of European Union representatives. † This article is a preliminary result of the work developed on MEPs' cross-national convergence in the context of the network EurElite, a project sponsored by the European Science Foundation. We want to thank the other members of the EurElite task force on MEPs, Stefaan Fiers, Ulrik Kjaer and Michael Rush, as well as the two directors of EurElite, Heinrich Best and Maurizio Cotta, for their valuable comments. We also would like to thank our colleagues from Central-Eastern Europe for providing the available data for the ACC-10 MEPs: Witek Betkiewicz (Poland), Béla Keszegh (Hungary and Slovakia), Mindaugas Kuklys (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), and Lukás Linek (Czech Republic). Stefan Jahr has also been involved in the definition of the codebook and in the process of data elaboration. © 2005, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC

The Edinger-Westphal nucleus of the juvenile rat contains transient- and repetitive-firing neurons
No full textClassically, the Edinger-Westphal nucleus is described as containing neurons controlling accommodation and pupillary constriction via projections to the ciliary ganglion. However, in several species including rat, some Edinger-Westphal neurons have ascending or descending CNS projections suggesting that the Edinger-Westphal nucleus might also have non-ocular functions. To further characterize the function of this nucleus we studied the electrophysiological properties of Edinger-Westphal neurons in a slice preparation from juvenile rats. The position of the Edinger-Westphal nucleus was determined using an immunohistochemical procedure directed at the peptide Urocortin, which is expressed in Edinger-Westphal neurons. Passive and active membrane responses were investigated and two different neuron types were identified. One type had a transient firing response to 400 ms depolarizing current pulses and one type had a repetitive firing response. Transient-firing neurons had an outward rectifying response inhibiting firing, possibly due to slowly inactivating I(D)-like potassium channels since low concentrations (200 microM) of the potassium channel blocker 4-aminopyridine elicited repetitive firing. In all neurons, low threshold Ca(2+) spikes were seen and these were blocked by nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate, suggesting that they are mediated via low voltage-activated Ca(2+) channels. Some biocytin-labeled neurons had axons or axonal collaterals projecting laterally or dorsally, suggesting possible non-ocular targets. In conclusion, the rat Edinger-Westphal nucleus contains two separate types of neurons with distinct electrophysiological properties

No full textThis is a collection of excerpts of published memoirs on Jewish childhood in Germany during the 19th century, focusing on the experience of "being different" in a Gentile environment. The collection contains fragments of the biographies of 20 famous German- Jewish men and women, who excelled as authors, economists, historians, painters, philosophers, physicians, politicians, psychologists, surgeons, teachers, and writers.Also included is an exchange of letters concerning the possibility of the manuscript's publication (1959-1973).Born in Berlin in 1890, Dora Edinger studied social work at the University of Heidelberg and lived in Frankfurt/M, where she taught at the Freies Juedisches Lehrhaus and was active in the women's auxiliary of the B'nai B'rith and Juedischer Frauenbund. She immigrated to the United States ca. 1934, where she worked as a librarian and journalist and died in New York on November 18, 1977.Synopsis in fileSee also the Dora Edinger collection, AR 4812BerlinFrankfurtHamburgHanoverMunich
