During each electoral period, the strategic interaction between voters and political elites determines the number of viable candidates in a district. In this paper, we implement a hierarchical seemingly unrelated regression model to explain electoral coordination at the district level in Uruguay as a function of district magnitude, previous electoral outcomes and electoral regime. Elections in this country are particularly useful to test for institutional effects on the coordination process due to the large variations in district magnitude, to the simultaneity of presidential and legislative races held under different rules, and to the reforms implemented during the period under consideration. We find that district magnitude and electoral history heuristics have substantial effects on the number of competing and voted-for parties and lists. Our modeling approach uncovers important interaction-effects between the demand and supply side of the political market that were often overlooked in previous research.

This detailed volume explores numerous multidisciplinary approaches employed to analyze the role of different molecules or strategies used by different guests to survive inside hosts. Divided into several sections, the book delves into animal-pathogen interaction, microbe-microbe interaction, as well as plant-pathogen interaction. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include brief introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.uthoritative and practical, Host-Pathogen Interactions: Methods and Protocols provides many molecular and bioinformatics techniques currently in use at reputed laboratories in countries all around the world, vital for many kinds of host-pathogen interactions studies

Electoral law in many European countries permits voters to indicate preferred candidates within a party list rather than only choosing between parties. The various voting arrangements that allow this, their utilization, & their possible consequences are examined. While voting of this type can be understood as a form of political participation, it is evident that patterns vary & consequences are uncertain, due to the complex interaction between the different elements in the electoral situation. 50 References.

"How the World Listens explores our everyday and professional interactions with sound. The book aims to uncover the human relationship with sound across the world and to reveal practical ways in which a better understanding of listening can help us in our daily lives. This book asks how sound is perceived, expressed and interacted with in both remarkably similar and dramatically different ways across the world. Using findings from a new scientific study, conducted exclusively for this book, we embark on a globe-trotting adventure across more than thirty countries, through exclusive interviews with more than fifty individuals from all walks of life; from acousticians and film composers, to human resource managers and costumiers. How the World Listens is essential reading for anyone with an interest in human relationships with sound, including but not limited to sound design and music composition professionals, teachers and researchers"--

"This book shows how to teach functional communication skills to children on the autistic spectrum, in order to help them achieve four important life qualities: safety, happiness, independence, and productivity. Expert author Elizabeth Ives Field combines over four decades of working in the autism field to provide practical, in depth teaching strategies for children on the spectrum who struggle with 'typical' communication. Her strategies can be applied and adapted for children who are non-verbal or with limited vocabulary, children with echolalia, as well as for social and behavioural issues. Importantly the book considers the full severity of autism across the spectrum and emphasises the need to teach skills that are functional, developmentally appropriate, useful in the moment and a step to future learning. The book will include case studies to show how communication difficulties and solutions in action. This fits with the overall direction of the list in terms of being positive about autism while remaining realistic about challenges. We have also been discussing publishing more for speech language therapists and this book has a strong professional market we know we can reach. I think the title needs some work and the author is open to changing it - it might be a good idea to include echolalia as a key word as there aren't many resources looking at this"--

Numerous studies covering various angles explore the interaction of subjective well-being and peace. However there are gaps in the analysis of the interaction between subjective well-being and peace. One angle missing is the voice of disabled people and what they perceive as essential for their subjective well-being and peace. I submit this is problematic not only because the list generated of subjective wellbeings seen as essential and the strategies developed to achieve the items on the list has an impact on the subjective well-being of disabled people but also because disabled people have certain ability expectations non-disabled people might not think about. Another angle that is missing is the cultural investigation of ability expectations and preferences, an investigation started by the disability right movement, and their impact on peace dynamics. I submit that the academic fields of disability studies and ability studies and the social group of disabled people have something unique to offer to peace studies in general and the linkage between subjective well-being and peace in particular.
