- Hereditary angioedema (HAE), a rare but life-threatening condition, manifests as acute attacks of facial, laryngeal, genital, or peripheral swelling or abdominal pain secondary to intra-abdominal edema. Resulting from mutations affecting C1 esterase inhibitor (C1-INH), inhibitor of the first complement system component, attacks are not histamine-mediated and do not respond to antihistamines or corticosteroids. Low awareness and resemblance to other disorders often delay diagnosis; despite availability of C1-INH replacement in some countries, no approved, safe acute attack therapy exists in the United States. The biennial C1 Esterase Inhibitor Deficiency Workshops resulted from a European initiative for better knowledge and treatment of HAE and related diseases. This supplement contains work presented at the third workshop and expanded content toward a definitive picture of angioedema in the absence of allergy. Most notably, it includes cumulative genetic investigations; multinational laboratory diagnosis recommendations; current pathogenesis hypotheses; suggested prophylaxis and acute attack treatment, including home treatment; future treatment options; and analysis of patient subpopulations, including pediatric patients and patients whose angioedema worsened during pregnancy or hormone administration. Causes and management of acquired angioedema and a new type of angioedema with normal C1-INH are also discussed. Collaborative patient and physician efforts, crucial in rare diseases, are emphasized. This supplement seeks to raise awareness and aid diagnosis of HAE, optimize treatment for all patients, and provide a platform for further research in this rare, partially understood disorder.

- An application of the theory of planned behaviour is developed here to analyse factors in. uencing entrepreneurial intent among university students. The study provides a test of the robustness of the intent approach using international comparisons. The samples are from Finland (Helsinki University of Technology), Sweden (Linko¨ping University), USA (Stanford University and University of Colorado, Colorado Springs), and the UK (London Business School). The international comparisons indicate a good robustness of the model. Perceived behavioural control emerges as the most important determinant of entrepreneurial intent.

Magnetic moment and anisotropy at the Fe/ZnSe(001) interface studied by conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy

- The interface magnetic properties of Fe/ZnSe heterostructures grown on GaAs(001) by molecular-beam epitaxy have been investigated using conversion electron Mössbauer spectroscopy (CEMS) and macroscopic magnetic measurements. For Fe films thinner than 100 Å an in-plane 〈110〉 uniaxial magnetic anisotropy was found and the magnetization loops could successfully be described by the simple Stoner-Wohlfarth model, which implies that the magnetization reverses only by coherent rotation and jump processes. For the interface analysis, a 5-Å-thick layer of enriched 57Fe was deposited on the ZnSe surface and buried under 20 Å of natural Fe. In this way the 57Fe serves as a local probe of the interface magnetic environment in a bulklike Fe film since the CEMS technique is only sensitive to this isotope of Fe. An interface magnetic moment of 2.18 μB was found and, in relation to 2.2 μB for bulk bcc Fe, this precludes the presence of any interface reactions. Surprisingly, however, the direction of the interface magnetic moment turned out to be reoriented from the [110] direction by almost 30°, an effect that was assumed to arise from the distribution of unidirectional tetrahedral bonds present on the Zn c(2×2) reconstructed ZnSe surface.
