description: Considering the coherent nonlinear dynamics between two weakly linked optical waveguide arrays, we find the first example of coexistence of Josephson oscillations with a novel self-trapping regime. This macroscopic bistability is explained by proving analytically the simultaneous existence of symmetric, antisymmetric and asymmetric stationary solutions of the associated Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The effect is, moreover, illustrated and confirmed by numerical simulations. This property allows to conceive an optical switch based on the variation of the refractive index of the linking central waveguide.

description: Slightly revised (longer) PDF-version of presentation given at TDWG2017, Oct. 3, Ottawa. Abstract, published in: Biodiversity Information Science and Standards 1: e20267 (14 Aug 2017)
 https://doi.org/10.3897/tdwgproceedings.1.20267 The FAIR guiding principles, first launched in 2014, for making research data more Findable, Accesible, Interoperable and Re-usable, have not yet been widely implemented for biodiversity data. Partly this may be due to the FAIR principles by themselves not yet being fully operational and easy to interpret. There is work in progress to remedy this by different task groups, and different attempts have already been made. In this paper I will give some concrete tips aimed at implementing the FAIR principles for biodiversity research data, focusing on the metadata, in order to enhance the quality of data by making them more findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable. Among the steps that could be taken to make biodiversity database records more findable and accessible is for example to add schema.org markup to the html sourcecode of corresponding web pages, as has been successfully employed in the Uniprot database. Recently biocaddie.org has mapped the metadata format DATS, Data Tag Suite, to schema.org and there is also the ongoing adaptation effort of bioschemas.org. In addition, there is the highly commendable work done by former biosharing.org, which now has become the more general fairsharing.org and which aims to enhance findability, promote the adoption of metadata standards by policy makers and interlink metadata standards among themselves and with repositories (Sansone 2017). Further, to make biodiversity records more interoperable and reusable, it is essential to provide metadata export to a selection of general standards and formats. In doing this, promises should be kept, meaning that exported metadata records should also validate against the schemas for the chosen format standard. By validating against schemas of both preferred metadata standard and export formats, biodiversity data records also stand a better chance of achieving what has been defined by GBIF and Vertnet as Fitness-for-use, encompassing e.g. accessibility, content, completeness, dataset-level or record level, error correction etc. (Russell 2011). That is, of course, provided the relevant metadata standards have validation schemas or online tools such as the Darwin Core Archive/EML validator that are sufficiently precise to check for these properties. If not, there is always the possibility of creating tailormade validation schemas serving the data quality needs of a specialized biodiversity data repository, e.g. using Schematron or JSON schema.

description: This thesis is an attempt to study in depth space and time in Theodoros Prodromos' novel Rodanthe and Dosikles, as the coordinates on which the novel's plot development is constructed. In the first part, following a short introduction to the Komnenian century and the elements that led to the revival of a literature genre that has been dormant for nearly eight centuries, we focus on the way spaces, where action takes place, are presented and how they alternate. Thus, we purport to outline the narratological meaning of the abovementioned alternations concerning the novel's narration and story. In the second part, we focus on the novel's timeline, based on the narratological anachronies and time indicators spotted in the text, in order to delineate Prodromos' temporal architectural strategy regarding narration and story. Last but not least comes an attempt to approach the literary goals this strategy most probably serves

description: The origin of the magnetic fields in neutron stars, and the physical differences between magnetars and strongly magnetised radio pulsars are still under vigorous debate. It has been suggested that the properties of the progenitors of neutron stars (the massive OB stars), such as rotation, magnetic fields and mass, may play an important role in the outcome of core collapse leading to type II SNe. Therefore, knowing the magnetic properties of the progenitor OB stars would be an important asset for constraining models of stellar evolution leading to the birth of a neutron star. We present here the beginning of a broad study with the goal of characterising the magnetic properties of main sequence massive OB stars. We report the detection of two new massive magnetic stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster: Par 1772 (HD 36982) and NU Ori (HD 37061), for which the estimated dipole polar strengths, with 1 sigma error bars, are 1150 (+320,-200) G and 650 (+220,-170) G respectively.

description: Omnidirectional lighting provides the foundation for achieving spatially-variant photorealistic 3D rendering, a desirable property for mobile augmented reality applications. However, in practice, estimating omnidirectional lighting can be challenging due to limitations such as partial panoramas of the rendering positions, and the inherent environment lighting and mobile user dynamics. A new opportunity arises recently with the advancements in mobile 3D vision, including built-in high-accuracy depth sensors and deep learning-powered algorithms, which provide the means to better sense and understand the physical surroundings. Centering the key idea of 3D vision, in this work, we design an edge-assisted framework called Xihe to provide mobile AR applications the ability to obtain accurate omnidirectional lighting estimation in real time. Specifically, we develop a novel sampling technique that efficiently compresses the raw point cloud input generated at the mobile device. This technique is derived based on our empirical analysis of a recent 3D indoor dataset and plays a key role in our 3D vision-based lighting estimator pipeline design. To achieve the real-time goal, we develop a tailored GPU pipeline for on-device point cloud processing and use an encoding technique that reduces network transmitted bytes. Finally, we present an adaptive triggering strategy that allows Xihe to skip unnecessary lighting estimations and a practical way to provide temporal coherent rendering integration with the mobile AR ecosystem. We evaluate both the lighting estimation accuracy and time of Xihe using a reference mobile application developed with Xihe's APIs. Our results show that Xihe takes as fast as 20.67ms per lighting estimation and achieves 9.4% better estimation accuracy than a state-of-the-art neural network.

description: Reference-frame-independent measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (RFI-MDI-QKD) can remove all potential detector side-channel attacks and the requirement of real-time alignment of reference frames. However, all previous RFI-MDI-QKD implementations assume the perfect state preparation in sources, which is impractical and may lead to security loopholes. Here, we propose a RFI-MDI-QKD protocol which is robust against state preparation flaws. Comparing to the conventional six-state RFI-MDI-QKD, our scheme can be realized with only four flawed states, which improves the practical security of RFI-MDI-QKD and simplifies the experimental implementation. In addition, simulation results demonstrate that source flaws in Z basis have adverse effect on the performance of RFI-MDI-QKD while the source flaws in X and Y bases have almost no effect. We hope that this work could provide a valuable reference for practical implementations of RFI-MDI-QKD.

description: Deep learning models for human activity recognition (HAR) based on sensor data have been heavily studied recently. However, the generalization ability of deep models on complex real-world HAR data is limited by the availability of high-quality labeled activity data, which are hard to obtain. In this paper, we design a similarity embedding neural network that maps input sensor signals onto real vectors through carefully designed convolutional and LSTM layers. The embedding network is trained with a pairwise similarity loss, encouraging the clustering of samples from the same class in the embedded real space, and can be effectively trained on a small dataset and even on a noisy dataset with mislabeled samples. Based on the learned embeddings, we further propose both nonparametric and parametric approaches for activity recognition. Extensive evaluation based on two public datasets has shown that the proposed similarity embedding network significantly outperforms state-of-the-art deep models on HAR classification tasks, is robust to mislabeled samples in the training set, and can also be used to effectively denoise a noisy dataset.
Multi-Agent Consensus Subject to Communication and Privacy Constraints

description: We consider a multi-agent consensus problem in the presence of adversarial agents. The adversaries are able to listen to the inter-agent communications and try to estimate the state of the agents. The agents have a limited bit-rate for communication and are required to quantize the transmitted signal in order to meet the bit-rate constraint of the communication channel. We propose a consensus protocol that is protected against the adversaries, i.e., the expected mean-square error of the adversary state estimate is lower bounded. In order to deal with the bit-rate constraint, we propose a dynamic quantization scheme that guarantees protected consensus.

Γρηγορίου του Παλαμά σ᾽ αυτήν κατά τα αρχικά στάδια με βάση το έργο του Ἀποδεικτικοί Λόγοι Α´ και Β´, κατά την εξέταση του οποίου επισημάνθηκαν με αρκούντως ακριβή τρόπο οι δύο διαφορετικές θεολογικές μεθοδολογικές αρχές των δύο πρωταγωνιστών, αγ. Γρηγορίου του Παλαμά και του εκ Καλαβρίας ελληνομαθούς μοναχού Βαρλαάμ. Ο Βαρλαάμ αποτελεί μία ιδιαίτερη περίπτωση για τη γραμματεία της εποχής του, που μπορεί να χαρακτηρισθεί περισσότερο φιλόσοφος παρά θεολόγος, καθώς επεδίωξε να αναιρέσει τη Σχολαστική Θεολογία του Filioque με τις αξιωματικές αρχές του Αριστοτέλη. Ωστόσο, ο άγ. Γρηγόριος ο Παλαμάς με τους Δύο Άποδεικτικούς Λόγους εντάσσει ουσιαστικώς τόσο τη Σχολαστική Θεολογία όσο και τη μεθοδολογία του Βαρλαάμ στην ίδια κατηγορία, του διαλεκτικῶς σκέπτεσθαι και αντιτείνει την αποδεικτική μεθοδολογία της ενιαίας πατερικής παραδόσεως των εγκρίτων Πατέρων, τις μαρτυρίες των οποίων προσάγει κατά κόρον, για να ερμηνεύσει την αΐδια εκπόρευση του Αγίου Πνεύματος ἐκ μόνου τοῦ Πατρός (Αΐδια Αγία Τριάδα) και την πέμψη του Αγίου Πνεύματος «δι᾽ Υἱοῦ» στη διεξαγωγή της Θ. Οικονομίας.
description: In the present study we attempt to highlight: a) the historical context of the relations between East and West on the eve of hesychastic discord, b) the involvement of st. Gregory Palamas in this hesychastic discord based on his work Two Apodictic Treatises I and II, during the examination of which were labeled with a sufficiently precise manner the two different theological methodological principles of the two protagonists, st. Gregory Palamas and greek-educated Calabrian monk Barlaam. Barlaam is a particular case of the Christian Litterature of his period, so he could be characterized more philosopher than a theologian, and sought to undermine the Scholastic theology of the Filioque to the axiomatic principles of Aristotle. However, St. Gregory Palamas with the Two Apodictic Treatises essentially incorporates both the Scholastic Theology and Barlaam’s methodology in the same category, the dialectical method of thinking and contends the apodictical methodology of the patristic Tradition of the reputable Fathers, the testimonies of them which dispenses extensively to interpret the eternal procession of the Holy Spirit only by the Father (eternal Trinity) and will send the Holy Spirit "through the Son" in the conduct of the divine Economy.

description: A quantum point contact (QPC), a narrow region separating two wider electron reservoirs, is the standard building block of sub-micron devices, such as quantum dots - small boxes of electrons, and qubits - the proposed basic elements of quantum computers. As a function of its width, the conductance through a QPC changes in integer steps of G0 = $2e^2/h$, signalling the quantization of its tranverse modes.1,2 Such measurements also reveal an additional shoulder at a value around 0.7, an observation which remains a puzzle even after more than a decade. Recently it has been suggested5,6 that this phenomenon can be explained if one invokes the existence of a magnetic impurity in the QPC at low densities. Here we present extensive numerical density-functional calculations that reveal the formation of a magnetic moment in the channel as the density increases above pinch-off, under very general conditions. In addition we show that such an impurity will also form at large magnetic fields, for a specific value of the field (corresponding to a degeneracy point between the upper spin state in the first mode and the lower spin state in the second mode), and sometimes even at the opening of the second mode in the QPC. Beyond explaining the source of the "0.7 anomaly", these results may have far reaching implications on spin filling of electronic states in quantum dots and on dephasing of quantum information stored in semiconductor qubits.

description: Solutions to hydrodynamic equations, which are used for a vast variety of physical problems, are assumed to be specified by boundary conditions and initial conditions on the hydrodynamic variables only. Initial values of other variables are assumed to be irrelevant for a hydrodynamic description. This assumption is not correct because of the existence of long-time-tail effects that are ubiquitous in systems governed by hydrodynamic equations. We illustrate this breakdown of a hydrodynamic description by means of the simple example of diffusion in a disordered electron system.

description: The mapping of photonic states to collective excitations of atomic ensembles is a powerful tool which finds a useful application in the realization of quantum memories and quantum repeaters. In this work we show that cold atoms in optical lattices can be used to perform an entangling unitary operation on the transferred atomic excitations. After the release of the quantum atomic state, our protocol results in a deterministic two qubit gate for photons. The proposed scheme is feasible with current experimental techniques and robust against the dominant sources of noise.

Διερευνώντας το Σύμβολο της Νίκαιας, προσεγγίζω τη διευκρίνηση των Πατέρων ως προς το πρόβλημα του ηθικού Χριστού και αναλύω τις διατυπώσεις «ἐκ τῆς οὐσίας τοῦ Πατρός» και «ὁμοούσιον τῷ Πατρί», οι οποίες θα αποτελέσουν το κλειδί για την κατανόηση και ομολογία της θεότητας του Υιού: ο Υιός ως «ἀΐδιον γέννημα» είναι «ἴδιον τῆς τοῦ Πατρός οὐσίας». Εξάλλου, προσπαθώ σε κάθε τρόπο να υπογραμμίσω βιβλικά τα επιχειρήματα που είχαν οι Άγιοι Πατέρες για το Χριστό κατά την αναίρεση των Μοναρχιανών και Αρειανών. Στο Σύμβολο της Συνόδου Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, εξετάζω τη διάκριση που κάνουν οι Πατέρες μεταξύ των «ἐκπόρευσις» και «πέμψις» του Αγίου Πνεύματος. Στο Σύμβολο Κωνσταντινουπόλεως, επίσης, αναδεικνύεται η διατύπωση «τό σύν Πατρί καί Υἱῷ συμπροσκυνούμενον καί συνδοξαζόμενον», με την οποία λύνεται η ομοουσιότητα του Αγίου Πνεύματος.
description: Τhe presented study provides an emphasis on the Christological character of the two Ecumenical Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople, but also on the Christological formulation of the Church Fathers. Researching the Symbol of Nicaea, I underline the importance of the two phrases ''from the essence of the Father'' (ἐκ τῆς οὐσίας τοῦ Πατρός) and ''homoousios with the Father'' (ὁμοούσιος τῷ Πατρί), with whom the problem of the ''ethical Christ'' is solved. This two phrases will become the key for understanding the divinity of the Son: the Son as «ἀΐδιον γέννημα» is «ἴδιον τῆς τοῦ Πατρός οὐσίας». In addition, I strive in every way to show the biblical argument of the Fathers for the divinity of Christ against the Monarchians and the Arians. In the Constantinopolitan Symbol, there is a difference between the «ἐκπόρευσις» and the «πέμψις» of the Holy Spirit. Also, the Symbol of Constantinople shows the phrase ''who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified'' (τό σύν Πατρί καί Υἱῷ συμπροσκυνούμενον καί συνδοξαζόμενον), which solves the consubstantiality of the Holy Spirit with the Father and the Son.
Art as negotiation: the reciprocal construction of meanings in the argillite carvings of Charles Edenshaw
Creators: name: Ransom, Kelly Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The argillite carvings of Haida artist Tahaygen (Charles Edenshaw) can be viewed as a site of interaction and negotiation between the producer — a Native artist who lived during a time of tremendous cultural upheaval and change — and the consumer — curio collectors, anthropologists, and museum collectors who were members of the dominant Western society. This thesis examines the intercultural exchange of various messages between producer and consumer taking place within the object-site, with specific reference to three examples of Edenshaw’s argillite work. A discussion of the historical circumstances surrounding the production and consumption of argillite carvings is first presented to suggest the various different significations that the intercultural art object can hold for both artist and buyer. A model for analyzing the exchange of messages in the object is then explained, and applied to three examples of Edenshaw’s argillite carvings. By considering the perspectives of artist and collector during this process of interchange, I attempt to explain how meanings can be reciprocally constructed as part of a struggle, on the parts of producer and consumer, to assert both individual and cultural identities, needs and desires. The intercultural object, in light of this reciprocal process, becomes a politically-charged arena for the negotiation and renegotiation of individual, societal and cultural positioning.

description: One way to account for the acceleration of the universe is to modify general relativity, rather than introducing dark energy. Typically, such modifications introduce new degrees of freedom. It is interesting to consider models with no new degrees of freedom, but with a modified dependence on the conventional energy-momentum tensor; the Palatini formulation of $f(R)$ theories is one example. Such theories offer an interesting testing ground for investigations of cosmological modified gravity. In this paper we study the evolution of structure in these ``modified-source gravity'' theories. In the linear regime, density perturbations exhibit scale dependent runaway growth at late times and, in particular, a mode of a given wavenumber goes nonlinear at a higher redshift than in the standard $Λ$CDM model. We discuss the implications of this behavior and why there are reasons to expect that the growth will be cut off in the nonlinear regime. Assuming that this holds in a full nonlinear analysis, we briefly describe how upcoming measurements may probe the differences between the modified theory and the standard $Λ$CDM model.

description: The work produced within this task is an extension of the UEABS (Unified European Applications Benchmark Suite) for accelerators. As a first version of the extension, this document will present a full definition of a suite for accelerators. This will cover each code, presenting the code in itself as well as the test cases defined for the benchmarks and the problems that could occur during the next months. As the UEABS, this suite aims to present results for many scientific fields that can use HPC accelerated resources. Hence, it will help the European scientific communities to make a decision in terms of infrastructures they could buy in a near future. We focus on Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors and NVidia GPU cards for benchmarking as they are the two most important accelerated resources available at the moment. The following table lists the codes that will be presented in the next sections as well as their implementations available. It should be noted that OpenMP can be used with the Intel Xeon Phi architecture while CUDA is used for NVidia GPU cards. OpenCL is a third alternative that can be used on both architectures. The chosen codes are all part of the UEAS suite excepted PFARM which comes from PRACE-2IP and SHOC which is a synthetic benchmark suite for accelerators.

Virasoro Module Structure of Local Martingales of SLE Variants

description: Martingales often play an important role in computations with Schramm-Loewner evolutions (SLEs). The purpose of this article is to provide a straightforward approach to the Virasoro module structure of the space of local martingales for variants of SLEs. In the case of ordinary chordal SLE, it has been shown in Bauer & Bernard: Phys.Lett.B 557 that polynomial local martingales form a Virasoro module. We will show for more general variants that the module of local martingales has a natural submodule M that has the same interpretation as the module of polynomial local martingales of chordal SLE, but it is in many cases easy to find more local martingales than that. We discuss the surprisingly rich structure of the Virasoro module M and construction of the ``SLE state'' or ``martingale generating function'' by Coulomb gas formalism. In addition, Coulomb gas or Feigin-Fuchs integrals will be shown to transparently produce candidates for multiple SLE pure geometries.

description: Η παρούσα έρευνα ασχολείται με τα οφέλη που μπορεί να έχει ένα πρόγραμμα άσκησης, και ειδικότερα υδρογυμναστικής, στην φυσική και ψυχική υγεία γυναικών σε προεμμηνοπαυσιακό και μετεμμηνοπαυσιακό στάδιο. Στόχος της έρευνας ήταν η μελέτη της επίδρασης του προγράμματος υδρογυμναστικής στην λειτουργική κατάσταση και ποιότητα ζωής προ- και μετ-εμμηνοπαυσιακών γυναικών. Επιμέρους στόχος της έρευνας υπήρξε η εκτίμηση των διαφοροποιήσεων ανάμεσα στις προεμμηνοπαυσιακές και μετεμμηνοπαυσικές γυναίκες. Από τα αποτελέσματα της μελέτης διαπιστώθηκε ότι το πρόγραμμα υδρογυμναστικής επέφερε κυρίως βελτίωση των δεικτών της λειτουργικής ικανότητας (δύναμη, ευκαμψία και αντοχή), τόσο των προεμμηνοπαυσικών όσο και των μετεμμηνοπαυσιακών γυναικών, αλλά συνέβαλε σημαντικκα και στην ποιότητα ζωής των ασκουμενων γυναικών. Συμπερασματικά, η υδρογυμναστική θα πρέπει να συνιστάται σε γυναίκες προ-εμμηνοπαυσιακές, αλλά και μετεμμηνοπαυσιακές για την καλύτερη αντιμετώπιση των προβλημάτων που αντιμετωπίζουν με το πέρας της ηλικίας.
description: The present study examined the effects of a structured aqua aerobic program on functional capacity and quality of life indices of premenopausal and menopausal women. A secondary aim of the study was to examine the existence of differences between premenopausal and postmenopausal women after training. The results of the study demonstrated that an aqua aerobic intervention improved the functional capacity and quality of life indices of both pre- and post- menopausal women. Moreover, significant statistical differences between pre- and post-menopausal groups for several measurements were observed. In conclusion, women should be encouraged to participate in an aqua aerobic training program to improve functional decline with age and quality of life.

description: We investigate the magnetic properties of nano-holes (NHs) patterned in graphene using first principles calculations. We show that superlattices consisting of a periodic array of NHs form a new family of 2D crystalline "bulk" magnets whose collective magnetic behavior is governed by inter-NH spin-spin interaction. They exhibit long-range magnetic order well above room temperature. Furthermore, magnetic semiconductors can be made by doping magnetic NHs into semiconducting NH superlattices. Our findings offer a new material system for fundamental studies of spin-spin interaction and magnetic ordering in low dimensions, and open up the exciting opportunities of making engineered magnetic materials for storage media and spintronics applications.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η διερεύνηση των στερεοτύπων που έχουν οι μαθητές απέναντι σε ανθρώπους που προέρχονται από διαφορετικές πολιτισμικά χώρες με εργαλείο την ομαδοσυνεργατική διδασκαλία. Εξετάσαμε τον όρο ‘στερεότυπα’ και τις θεωρητικές προσεγγίσεις για τη δημιουργία και την αλλαγή των στερεοτύπων. Στη συνέχεια αναλύσαμε τον όρο των ‘κοινωνικών αναπαραστάσεων’ για την εθνοτική, φυλετική, γλωσσική και θρησκευτική ετερότητα. Ακόμα αναφερθήκαμε στην ομαδοσυνεργατική διδασκαλία και στις προϋποθέσεις επιτυχίας της αλλά και στα αποτελέσματά της. Οι ορισμοί της έρευνας δράσης αλλά και οι τρόποι διενέργειά της ήταν στα θέματα που θίξαμε. Ασχοληθήκαμε με έρευνες που έχουν διεξαχθεί για τα στερεότυπα που έχουν οι μαθητές απέναντι σε πολιτισμικά διαφέροντες συμμαθητές/τριες τους. Στο ερευνητικό μέρος πραγματοποιήσαμε βιωματικές δραστηριότητες για να διερευνήσουμε τα στερεότυπα που έχουν οι μαθητές απέναντι στους πολιτισμικά διαφέροντες και καταλήξαμε σε συμπεράσματα και σκέψεις για τη διαχείριση της ετερότητας.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the investigation of students’ stereotypes towards people who come from different cultural countries via the group cooperation teaching. Then we examined the term ‘stereotypes’ and the theoretical approaches for creating and changing stereotypes. Then we analyzed the term of ‘social representations’ to ethnic, racial, linguistic and religious diversity. Furthermore, we analyzed the group cooperation teaching and the conditions of success and its results. The definitions of action research and the method used were the issues we raised. We also examined investigations conducted on stereotypes that students have towards differing cultural peers. In the research part we held experiential activities to explore stereotypes that have students towards different cultural people and we reached conclusion and thoughts about managing diversity.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη των φυτεμένων δωμάτων στην ελληνική επικράτεια. Κατ’ αρχήν κάναμε μία ιστορική ανασκόπηση της εξέλιξής τους από την αρχαία εποχή μέχρι τον 21ο αιώνα. Εξετάσαμε στη συνέχεια τη σπουδαιότητα των φυτεμένων δωμάτων από οικολογική, οικονομική, ψυχολογική και περιβαλλοντική πλευρά. Στη συνέχεια έγινε μία λεπτομερής περιγραφή της κατασκευαστικής δομής των φυτεμένων δωμάτων. Τέλος αναπτύχθηκαν διεξοδικά οι λειτουργίες των φυτών αλλά και τα είδη φυτών που μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν ανάλογα με τις προδιαγραφές των φυτεμένων δωμάτων και τις κλιματολογικές συνθήκες που επικρατούν σε κάθε περιοχή. Η δημιουργία φυτεμένων δωμάτων στις στέγες όλων των σπιτιών δεν είναι μία ουτοπική ευχή. Είναι μία απτή δυνατότητα, εύκολη και επικερδής, όχι μόνο για την υγεία την σωματική και ψυχική των ενοίκων του κάθε σπιτιού αλλά και για την οικονομική τους ελάφρυνση.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of green roofs in Hellenic territory. We did a historic overview of green roofs’ evolution from ancient times to the 21st century. Then we examined the importance of green roofs from ecological, economic, psychological and environmental point of view. Furthermore, we presented a detailed description of the structure of green roofs. Finally we extensively developed the function of plants as well as the proper plant species for different kinds of roofs, in different parts of Hellas, depending on the requirements of the construction itself as well as on the climatic conditions prevailing in each region. The creation of various gardens on the roofs of all buildings is not an utopian wish. It is a tangible possibility, easy and profitable, not only for the physical and mental health of their occupants but also for economic relief.
Adoption in the Seabird Island Band

description: In the past, the Ministry of Social Services and Housing has placed many native children from the Seabird Island Band, a Salish band in the Sta’lo Nation, in permanent placement or adoption off the reserve. Government agencies imposed a system of child welfare that superseded Seabird Island adoption practices. The Seabird Island Band members would prefer to see these children placed within the band through ‘custom’ adoption. In apprehension and placement court cases, the band social worker has needed documented information defining ‘custom’ adoption, and data regarding the benefits of this Seabird Island process. This thesis investigates and documents the process and results of adoption on the Seabird Island Indian Reserve. This thesis begins with a brief history of Canadian adoption policy as it applies to First Nations people. The thesis is based on detailed taped interviews with Seabird Island Band members who had experienced foster care and/or adoption. This fieldwork was the result of negotiation with the Seabird Island Band to discover the type of research that they needed. The thesis documents four kinds of adoption experience of the Seabird Island members: foster care, closed legal adoption, open adoption, and ‘custom’ adoption. In my analysis of these adoption experiences, three main themes occur: (1) issues of ethnic identity, (2) power and the child welfare system, and (3) the definition and functions of ‘custom’ adoption. The thesis concludes that the imposed system of child welfare based on Euro-western ideas of appropriate child care may have destroyed or seriously damaged some Seabird Island Band members’ sense of ethnic identity. As well, it may be a factor in the break-up of the extended family. ‘Custom’ adoption, as defined by Seabird Island Band members, offers an alternate model for keeping apprehended Seabird Island children within the band. Open adoption, as defined by the pilot project documented, is an alternative for those children who cannot be returned to the band. I have made several recommendations in the conclusion for the Seabird Island Band’s consideration.
