Symbols:

Y = Yes, N = No, when put between brackets, it means that there may be some doubt about it

- means that a negative effect is expected; + means that a postive effect is expected; = means that no effect is expected and ? is that the effect is uncertain. When between brackets, it means that the effect is probably rather low

H = high and L = low; Diff. is difficult to realise
