TL;DR: The authors found that the tendency for people to respond less favorably (i.e., with lower organizational commitment) to lower levels of voice was greater in low power distance cultures (United States and Germany) than in high power distance (People's Republic of China, Mexico, and Hong Kong) and found a similar interactive effect of voice and people's power distance beliefs on employees' work attitudes and job performance.

TL;DR: The axiomatic foundation of multidimensional poverty indices is explored and the fact that domain restrictions may have a critical role in the design ofMultidimensional indices is highlighted.
Abstract: This paper explores the axiomatic foundation of multidimensional poverty indices. Departing from the income approach which measures poverty by aggregating shortfalls of incomes from a pre-determined poverty-line income, a multidimensional index is a numerical representation of shortfalls of basic needs from some pre-specified minimum levels. The class of subgroup consistent poverty indices introduced by Foster and Shorrocks (1991) is generalized to the multidimensional context. New concepts necessary for the design of distribution-sensitive multidimensional poverty measures are introduced. Specific classes of subgroup consistent multidimensional poverty measures are derived based on sets of reasonable axioms. This paper also highlights the fact that domain restrictions may have a critical role in the design of multidimensional indices.

06 May 2002TL;DR: A connectivity-based outlier factor (COF) scheme is introduced that improves the effectiveness of an existing local outlier factors (LOF) scheme when a pattern itself has similar neighbourhood density as an outlier.
Abstract: Outlier detection is concerned with discovering exceptional behaviors of objects in data sets.It is becoming a growingly useful tool in applications such as credit card fraud detection, discovering criminal behaviors in e-commerce, identifying computer intrusion, detecting health problems, etc. In this paper, we introduce a connectivity-based outlier factor (COF) scheme that improves the effectiveness of an existing local outlier factor (LOF) scheme when a pattern itself has similar neighbourhood density as an outlier. We give theoretical and empirical analysis to demonstrate the improvement in effectiveness and the capability of the COF scheme in comparison with the LOF scheme.

TL;DR: In this paper, using a microRNA microarray and real-time PCR, wild-type mice had reduced expression of miR-29 along with the development of progressive renal fibrosis in obstructive nephropathy.
Abstract: TGF-β/Smad3 signaling promotes fibrosis, but the development of therapeutic interventions involving this pathway will require the identification and ultimate targeting of downstream fibrosis-specific genes In this study, using a microRNA microarray and real-time PCR, wild-type mice had reduced expression of miR-29 along with the development of progressive renal fibrosis in obstructive nephropathy In contrast, Smad3 knockout mice had increased expression of miR-29 along with the absence of renal fibrosis in the same model of obstruction In cultured fibroblasts and tubular epithelial cells, Smad3 mediated TGF-β(1)-induced downregulation of miR-29 by binding to the promoter of miR-29 Furthermore, miR-29 acted as a downstream inhibitor and therapeutic microRNA for TGF-β/Smad3-mediated fibrosis In vitro, overexpression of miR-29b inhibited, but knockdown of miR-29 enhanced, TGF-β(1)-induced expression of collagens I and III by renal tubular cells Ultrasound-mediated gene delivery of miR-29b either before or after established obstructive nephropathy blocked progressive renal fibrosis In conclusion, miR-29 is a downstream inhibitor of TGF-β/Smad3-mediated fibrosis and may have therapeutic potential for diseases involving fibrosis
