We design a spatial model featuring workers embodied with heterogeneous skills. In equilibrium, locations with improved market access become relatively more attractive to the high-skilled, high-income earners. We then empirically analyze the effects of the construction of the Swiss highway network between 1960 and 2010 on the distribution of income at the local level, as well as on employment and commuting by education level. We find that the advent of a new highway access within 10km led to a long-term 19%-increase of the share of high-income taxpayers and a 6%-decrease of the share of low-income taxpayers. Results are similar for employment data decomposed by education level, as well as for in- and outcommuters. Highways also contributed to job and residential urban sprawl

Accessible summary Patients' satisfaction is scarcely studied within the context of community treatment for adolescents. Thus, this study adopts a multiple perspective on patients' satisfaction (including service users as well as staff members). The results highlighted that all informants (patients, foster carers in foster homes and professional caregivers from community treatment teams) perceived the patients to be satisfied, with foster carers reporting the highest patient satisfaction rate. Considering the patient satisfaction rate from multiple perspectives provides complementary understandings. Clinical outcomes and, specifically, a reduction in emotional difficulties were related to patient's satisfaction, but only from the patients' perspective. Abstract Community treatment (CT) teams in Switzerland provide care to patients who are unable to use regular child and adolescent mental health services (i.e. inpatient and outpatients facilities). No study has considered patients' self-rated satisfaction alongside with staff members' perspectives on patient satisfaction. Thus, adopting a cross-sectional survey design, we collected patients' satisfaction using the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire (CSQ-8), rated by multiple informants (patients, foster carers in foster homes and professional caregivers from CT teams). Professional caregivers assessed clinical outcomes using the Health of the Nation Outcome Scale for Children and Adolescents. The results indicated that all informants were satisfied with the community treatment teams. The satisfaction scores were not correlated across informants; however, the alleviation of emotional symptoms was correlated with patients' satisfaction. This study indicated that the use of a combined approach including the views of service users and professionals gives important complementary information. Finally, in our sample, lower emotional symptoms were linked to enhanced patient satisfaction. This study demonstrated the importance of considering multiple perspectives to obtain the most accurate picture of patients' satisfaction. Second, focusing on the reduction of emotional symptoms might lead to a higher degree of patients' satisfaction.

Es wird der heutige Stand der Kenntnisse uber die Lungenanatomie wiedergegeben. Als Grundlage der Arbeit dient die ausgedehnte neue Literatur, besonders des franzosischen und englishen Sprachgebietes. Die Bedeutung des Lungensegmentes als Baustein der einzelnen Lappen und Flugel wird hervorgehoben und seine Wichtigkeit in diagnostischer und therapeutischer Hinsicht fur den Laryngologen, den Rontgenologen und den Thoraxchirurgen betont. Das Charakteristikum des Lungensegmentes liegt in seiner eigenen abgeschlossenen Gefas- und Bronchusversorgung. Es bildet eine anatomische und klinische Einheit. Die Segmente konnen isoliert erkranken und sind einzeln chirurgisch entfernbar, ohne das Komplikationen von seiten der Bronchien oder Gefase des benachbarten Parenchyms auftreten. Zahl und Anordnung der Segmente sind gesetzmasig. Sie konnen mit bronchoskopischen und rontgenologischen Methoden untersucht und identifiziert werden. Es wird kurz die Frage der Nomenklatur erwahnt und darauf hingewiesen, das die noch geltende anatomische spezielle Nomenklatur dem heutigen Stand der Kenntnisse in der Lungenanatomie nicht mehr entspricht. Es scheint im Interesse der internationalen wissenschaftlichen Zusammenarbeit wunschenswert, die 1949 in London vorgeschlagene internationale Nomenklatur trotz einigen sprachlichen Einwanden zu verwenden.
