description: Background: In recognition of potential for increased overdose risk, drug labels for extended-release and long-acting (ER/LA) opioids emphasize the need for established opioid tolerance prior to initiating high dosages. Objectives: Describe the proportion of patients with opioid tolerance prior to initiation of 90 morphine milligram equivalents (MME) ER/LA opioids and examine subsequent risk of opioid poisoning. Methods: We used Truven Health Analytics' MarketScan Databases (2006-2015) to identify patients initiating ER/LA opioids ≥90 MME. We examined prescription histories and describe the proportion of initiators with opioid tolerance (defined as ≥7 days of 60 MME in the prior 14 days). We adjusted for age, sex, year of initiation, and baseline comorbidities using inverse probability of treatment weighted Cox proportional hazards models. We estimated adjusted hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for the effect of opioid tolerance on the risk of clinically recognized opioid poisoning (based on diagnosis codes) in specific periods (0-7, 8-30, 31-90, and 91-365 days) following initiation. Results: Among 372 038 initiators, 38% did not meet opioid tolerance criteria. The proportion of nontolerant initiators was highest among those initiating methadone (44%) and fentanyl (42%). Nontolerant patients were 37% more likely to be diagnosed with opioid poisoning (adjusted hazard ratios = 1.37 [1.07, 1.76]) in the week following ER/LA initiation. Conclusions: Over one-third of patients initiating ≥90 MME ER/LA opioids did not have evidence of opioid tolerance. The 7 days following high dose ER/LA initiation may represent a high-risk period for clinically diagnosed opioid poisoning in patients who do not have prior opioid tolerance.

Παρουσιάστηκαν τα χαρακτηριστικά των ατόμων με νοητική αναπηρία και αναφέρθηκαν οι ορισμοί των εκτελεστικών λειτουργιών και η σχέση μεταξύ κινητικής και γνωστικής ικανότητας τους. Επιπλέον, υπήρξε εκτενής ενασχόληση με την ορολογία της διπλής εργασίας και ανάλυση των χαρακτηριστικών της και της δυνατότητας εφαρμογής της σε άτομα με νοητική αναπηρία. Στη συνέχεια, παρουσιάστηκαν αναλυτικά έρευνες εφαρμογής προγραμμάτων παρέμβασης διπλής εργασίας (dual task), τόσο σε άτομα με νοητική αναπηρία όσο και σε άτομα τρίτης ηλικίας. Τέλος, αξιολογήθηκε η πιθανή σχέση μεταξύ κινητικής και γνωστικής ικανότητας με τις καθημερινές δραστηριότητες ώστε να διαπιστωθεί πως αυτές επηρεάζουν την γνωστική και σωματική απόδοσή των ατόμων με νοητική αναπηρία.
description: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of an intervention program with the simultaneous application of motor and cognitive activities (dual task) on reaction time and motor ability of adolescent students with intellectual disabilities. Τhere was an extensive preoccupation with the definition of dual task and analysis of its characteristics and its applicability to people with intellectual disabilities. Subsequently, detailed research on the implementation of dual task intervention programs was presented, both in people with intellectual disabilities and in the elderly. Finally, the possible relationship between motor and cognitive ability with daily activities was evaluated in order to determine how they affect the cognitive and physical performance of people with intellectual disabilities.

description: Binary neutron star mergers are promising sources of gravitational waves for ground-based detectors such as Advanced LIGO. Neutron-rich material ejected by these mergers may also be the main source of r-process elements in the Universe, while radioactive decays in the ejecta can power bright electromagnetic post-merger signals. Neutrino-matter interactions play a critical role in the evolution of the composition of the ejected material, which significantly impacts the outcome of nucleosynthesis and the properties of the associated electromagnetic signal. In this work, we present a simulation of a binary neutron star merger using an improved method for estimating the average neutrino energies in our energy-integrated neutrino transport scheme. These energy estimates are obtained by evolving the neutrino number density in addition to the neutrino energy and flux densities. We show that significant changes are observed in the composition of the polar ejecta when comparing our new results with earlier simulations in which the neutrino spectrum was assumed to be the same everywhere in optically thin regions. In particular, we find that material ejected in the polar regions is less neutron rich than previously estimated. Our new estimates of the composition of the polar ejecta make it more likely that the color and timescale of the electromagnetic signal depend on the orientation of the binary with respect to an observer's line-of-sight. These results also indicate that important observable properties of neutron star mergers are sensitive to the neutrino energy spectrum, and may need to be studied through simulations including a more accurate, energy-dependent neutrino transport scheme.

description: We present a sample of 30 massive (log$(M_{\ast}/M_\odot) >11$) $z=3-5$ quiescent galaxies selected from the \textit{Spitzer-}HETDEX Exploratory Large Area (SHELA) Survey and observed at 1.1mm with Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Band 6 observations. These ALMA observations would detect even modest levels of dust-obscured star-formation, on order of $\sim 20 \ M_\odot \textrm{yr}^{-1}$ at $z\sim4$ at a $1σ$ level, allowing us to quantify the amount of contamination from dusty star-forming sources in our quiescent sample. Starting with a parent sample of candidate massive quiescent galaxies from the Stevans et al. 2021 v1 SHELA catalog, we use the Bayesian \textsc{Bagpipes} spectral energy distribution fitting code to derive robust stellar masses ($M_*$) and star-formation rates (SFRs) for these sources, and select a conservative sample of 36 candidate massive ($M_* > 10^{11}M_\odot$) quiescent galaxies, with specific SFRs at $>2σ$ below the star-forming main sequence at $z\sim4$. Based on ALMA imaging, six of these candidate quiescent galaxies have the presence of significant dust-obscured star-formation, thus were removed from our final sample. This implies a $\sim 17\%$ contamination rate from dusty star-forming galaxies with our selection criteria using the v1 SHELA catalog. This conservatively-selected quiescent galaxy sample at $z=3-5$ will provide excellent targets for future observations to better constrain how massive galaxies can both grow and shut-down their star-formation in a relatively short time period.

description: We present a spatially-resolved study of the ionised gas in the central 2 kpc of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2110 and investigate the role of its moderate luminosity radio jet (kinetic radio power of $P_\mathrm{jet} = 2.3 \times 10^{43}\mathrm{erg\ s^{-1}}$). We use new optical integral-field observations taken with the MEGARA spectrograph at GTC. We fit the emission lines with a maximum of two Gaussian components, except at the AGN position where we used three. Aided by existing stellar kinematics, we use the observed velocity and velocity dispersion of the emission lines to classify the different kinematic components. The disc component is characterised by lines with $σ\sim 60-200\ \mathrm{km\ s^{-1}}$. The outflow component has typical values of $σ\sim 700\ \mathrm{km\ s^{-1}}$ and is confined to the central 400 pc, which is coincident with linear part of the radio jet detected in NGC 2110. At the AGN position, the [O III]$λ$5007 line shows high velocity components reaching at least $1000\ \mathrm{km\ s^{-1}}$. This and the high velocity dispersions indicate the presence of outflowing gas outside the galaxy plane. Spatially-resolved diagnostic diagrams reveal mostly LI(N)ER-like excitation in the outflow and some regions in the disc, which could be due to the presence of shocks. However, there is also Seyfert-like excitation beyond the bending of the radio jet, probably tracing the edge of the ionisation cone that intercepts with the disc of the galaxy. NGC 2110 follows well the observational trends between the outflow properties and the jet radio power found for a few nearby Seyfert galaxies. All these pieces of information suggest that part of observed ionised outflow in NGC 2110 might be driven by the radio jet. However, the radio jet was bent at radial distances of 200 pc (in projection) from the AGN, and beyond there, most of the gas in the galaxy disc is rotating.

description: Plant organellar RNA metabolism is run by a multitude of nucleus-encoded RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) that control RNA stability, processing, and degradation. In chloroplasts and mitochondria, these post-transcriptional processes are vital for the production of a small number of essential components of the photosynthetic and respiratory machinery—and consequently for organellar biogenesis and plant survival. Many organellar RBPs have been functionally assigned to individual steps in RNA maturation, often specific to selected transcripts. While the catalog of factors identified is ever-growing, our knowledge of how they achieve their functions mechanistically is far from complete. This review summarizes the current knowledge of plant organellar RNA metabolism taking an RBP-centric approach and focusing on mechanistic aspects of RBP functions and the kinetics of the processes they are involved in.
Exact ensemble density functional theory for excited states in a model system: investigating the weight dependence of the correlation energy

description: Ensemble density functional theory (eDFT) is an exact time-independent alternative to time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) for the calculation of excitation energies. Despite its formal simplicity and advantages in contrast to TD-DFT (multiple excitations, for example, can be easily taken into account in an ensemble), eDFT is not standard which is essentially due to the lack of reliable approximate exchange-correlation (xc) functionals for ensembles. Following Smith et al. [Phys. Rev. B 93, 245131 (2016)], we propose in this work to construct an exact eDFT for the nontrivial asymmetric Hubbard dimer, thus providing more insight into the weight dependence of the ensemble xc energy in various correlation regimes. For that purpose, an exact analytical expression for the weight-dependent ensemble exchange energy has been derived. The complementary exact ensemble correlation energy has been computed by means of Legendre--Fenchel transforms. Interesting features like discontinuities in the ensemble xc potential in the strongly correlated limit have been rationalized by means of a generalized adiabatic connection formalism. Finally, functional-driven errors induced by ground-state density-functional approximations have been studied. In the strictly symmetric case or in the weakly correlated regime, combining ensemble exact exchange with ground-state correlation functionals gives relatively accurate ensemble energies. However, when approaching the equiensemble in the strongly correlated regime, this approximation leads to highly curved ensemble energies with negative slope which is unphysical. Using both ground-state exchange and correlation functionals gives much better results in that case. In fact, exact ensemble energies are almost recovered in some density domains. The analysis of density-driven errors is left for future work.

description: In vielen Studien konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass der Einsatz der Erstsprache dem Mathematiklernen zuträglich sein kann (s. Überblick in Barwell 2009). Beispielsweise konnten Setati & Duma (2009) in Südafrika und Moschkovich (2007) in Kalifornien zeigen, dass die Lernenden durch den Einsatz der Erstsprache erhöhte Partizipationschancen haben. In anderen Studien (z.B. Clarkson 2007, Kern 1994) wird der (meta-)kognitive Wert des Gebrauches bzw. der Berücksichtigung der Erstsprache hervorgehoben. Die Übertragbarkeit der internationalen Ergebnisse kann nur unter Berücksichtigung der spezifischen Situation in Deutschland gelingen, die unter anderem durch die Existenz diverser Erstsprachen pro Klasse geprägt ist, die nur in den seltensten Fällen von allen geteilt werden. Dass ca. ein Fünftel der Lernenden einen Migrationshintergrund haben (Closta & Ostermann 2008) und schwächere Testergebnisse (z.B. PISA) aufweisen, zeigt die Bedeutung dieses Forschungsfeldes. Im Folgenden werden drei aufeinander aufbauende Studien und die daraus generierten ersten qualitativen und quantitativen Ergebnisse präsentiert. Die Forschungsfragen aller Studien sind gleich: (Wie) Kann man vor dem Hintergrund der Bedingungen des deutschen Bildungssystems (nicht-geteilte Erstsprachen zwischen den Lernenden sowie zwischen diesen und Lehrpersonen, Existenz diverser Erstsprachen pro Klasse, ...) die originäre Ressource der Lernenden mit Migrationshintergrund, ihre nicht-deutsche Erstsprache, produktiv für das Lernen von Mathematik verwenden?

description: Purpose: “Lock-in” programs (LIPs) are used by health insurers to address potential substance (eg, opioid) misuse among beneficiaries. We sought to (1) examine heterogeneity in trajectories of dispensed opioids (in average daily morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs)) over time: prior to, during, and following release from a LIP, and (2) assess associations between trajectory patterns and beneficiary characteristics. Methods: Medicaid claims were linked to Prescription Drug Monitoring Program records for a cohort of beneficiaries enrolled in the North Carolina Medicaid LIP (n = 2701). Using latent class growth analyses, we estimated trajectories of average daily MMEs of opioids dispensed to beneficiaries across specific time periods of interest. Results: Five trajectory patterns appeared to sufficiently describe underlying heterogeneity. Starting values and slopes varied across the 5 trajectory groups, which followed these overall patterns: (1) start at a high level of MMEs, end at a high level of MMEs (13.1% of cohort); (2) start medium, end medium (13.2%); (3) start medium, end low (21.5%); (4) start low, end medium (22.6%); and (5) start low, end low (29.6%). We observed strong associations between patterns and beneficiaries' demographics, substance use-related characteristics, comorbid conditions, and healthcare utilization. Conclusions: In its current form, the Medicaid LIP appeared to have limited impact on beneficiaries' opioid trajectories. However, strong associations between trajectory patterns and beneficiary characteristics provide insight into potential LIP design modifications that might improve program impact (eg, LIP integration of substance use disorder assessment and referral to treatment, assessment and support for alternate pain therapies).

Swift J1644+57 as an off-axis Jet

description: One of the intriguing puzzles concerning Swift J1644+57, the first jetted tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered, is the constant increase in its jet energy, as implied by radio observations. During the first two hundred days the jet energy has increased by an order of magnitude. We suggest that the jet was viewed slightly off-axis. In this case, the apparent energy increase arises due to the slowing down of the jet and the corresponding broadening of its beaming cone. Using equipartition analysis, we infer an increasing jet energy as a larger region of the jet is observed. A simple off-axis model accounts nicely for the multi-wavelength radio observations, resolving this long-standing puzzle. The model allows us to self-consistently evolve the synchrotron signature from an off-axis jet as a function of time. It also allows us to estimate, for the first time, the beaming angle of the jet, $θ_0 \approx 21^{\circ}$. Considering existing limits on the black hole mass, $\lesssim 10^{7}M_{\odot}$, this angle implies that the prompt phase beaming corrected luminosity of Swift J1644+57, $\sim 10^{47}$ergs/sec, was super Eddington. We also present a closure relation between the spectral and temporal flux for off-axis jets, which can be used to test whether a given radio transient is off-axis or not.

description: We present Keck/DEIMOS spectroscopy of the first complete sample of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) in the Virgo cluster. We select all UDGs in Virgo that contain at least 10 globular cluster (GC) candidates and are more than $2.5σ$ outliers in scaling relations of size, surface brightness, and luminosity (a total of 10 UDGs). We use the radial velocity of their GC satellites to measure the velocity dispersion of each UDG. We find a mixed bag of galaxies: from one UDG that shows no signs of dark matter, to UDGs that follow the luminosity-dispersion relation of early-type galaxies, to the most extreme examples of heavily dark matter dominated galaxies that break well-known scaling relations such as the luminosity-dispersion or the U-shaped total mass-to-light ratio relations. This is indicative of a number of mechanisms at play forming these peculiar galaxies. Some of them may be the most extended version of dwarf galaxies, while others are so extreme that they seem to populate dark matter halos consistent with that of the Milky-Way or even larger. Even though Milky-Way stars and other GC interlopers contaminating our sample of GCs cannot be fully ruled-out, our assessment of this potential problem and simulations indicate that the probability is low and, if present, unlikely to be enough to explain the extreme dispersions measured. Further confirmation from stellar kinematics studies in these UDGs would be desirable. The lack of such extreme objects in any of the state-of-the-art simulations, opens an exciting avenue of new physics shaping these galaxies.

description: Schülerinnen und Schüler müssen aus verschiedenen Gründen das regelgeleitete Umformen von algebraischen Ausdrücken erlernen. So ist das regelgeleitete Operieren z.B. ein Element von Algebra und bietet Schülerinnen und Schülern Zugang zu innermathematischen Argumentationen. Das regelgeleitete Umformen von algebraischen Ausdrücken ist jedoch kein mechanisches Manipulieren. So stellt etwa Kieran heraus, dass es stattdessen eine Ressource für das Herstellen von Bedeutungen in Algebra ist (Kieran 2004). Hefendehl-Hebeker zeigt auf, dass in Algebra Probleme mithilfe interpretationsfreier regelgeleiteter Umformungen bearbeitet werden können, d.h. durch das Resultat einer Umformung können Schlussfolgerungen über ein gegebenes Problem gezogen werden (Hefendehl-Hebeker 2001). Wenn ein Problem entsprechende Strukturen bereitstellt, kann das regelgeleite Umformen auch durch diese Strukturen angeleitet werden (Meyer & Fischer 2013). Die beiden letztgenannten Studien stellen einen Bezug zwischen regelgeleitetem Operieren und strukturgebenden Elementen her. Was aber leitet die regelgeleiteten Umformungen von Schülerinnen und Schülern an, wenn keine strukturgebenden Elemente vorgegeben sind? Dieser Frage soll hier nachgegangen werden. Es wird herausgearbeitet, was kognitive Aktivitäten des regelgeleiteten Umformens kennzeichnet, die unter alleinigen Bezug auf die Strukturen von Termen und von Umformungsregeln erfolgen.

In the opening chapters a body is found in the Thames and identified as that of John Harmon, a young man recently returned to London to receive his inheritance. Were he alive, his father's will would require him to marry Bella Wilfer, a beautiful, mercenary girl whom he had never met. Instead, the money passes to the working-class Boffins, and the effects spread into various corners of London society. Issued monthly from May 1864 to November 1865 in illustrated green paper covers. Chapters 1-3: Chapter 1. Of an educational character -- Chapter 2. Still educational -- Chapter 3. A piece of work

description: Background: Few studies have examined noncancer outcomes among patients diagnosed with cancer as adolescents and young adults (AYA). We examined risk of mortality from noncancer causes after an AYA cancer diagnosis and investigated disparities according to race/ethnicity and other characteristics. Methods: Patients with a first primary cancer at ages 15 to 39 years diagnosed during 1987 to 2015 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (N = 242,940 women, 158,347 men). Survival months were accrued from diagnosis until death or December 2015. Multivariable-adjusted HRs were used to examine disparities in mortality from all noncancer causes, cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and infectious diseases (ID) according to race/ethnicity, geographic region, and county-level characteristics. Results: For all cancer types combined, the 10-year cumulative incidence of noncancer-related death after AYA cancer was 2% and 5% among women and men, respectively. With adjustment for cancer type, all noncancer mortality was increased among non-Hispanic Black AYAs [HR vs. nonHispanic White: HRWomen = 2.31; 95% confidence interval (CI): 2.16-2.47; HRMen = 2.17; 95% CI: 2.05-2.30] and those in the South (HR vs. Northeast: HRWomen = 1.18; 95% CI: 1.07-1.29; HRMen = 1.42; 95% CI: 1.31-1.55) or in rural counties (HR vs. metro: HRWomen = 1.74; 95% CI: 1.47-2.07; HRMen = 1.57; 95% CI: 1.33-1.86). Mortality from CVD and ID was also elevated among non-Hispanic Black AYAs. Conclusions: Results of this study suggest that noncancer mortality after AYA cancer is highest among survivors who are non-Hispanic Black or live in the South or in rural counties. Impact: Our analyses highlight disparities among AYAs with cancer and identify subgroups that may be targeted for increased medical surveillance or behavioral interventions.

description: Eine Sammlung von semantischen Musik-Features (d.h. Metriken, die bestimmte Merkmale von Musikstücken quantifizieren), die vom Musik-Streaming-Dienst Spotify angeboten wird, zeigt wissenschaftliche Relevanz im Forschungsfeld Music Information Retrieval aufgrund der Tatsache, dass sie in mehreren vorangegangenen Forschungsarbeiten eingesetzt wurde. Die Algorithmen, die zur Berechnung dieser semantischen Musik-Features verwendet werden sind nicht veröffentlicht und treten daher als „Black-Box“-Algorithmen auf. Diese Arbeit untersucht die Eigenschaften dieser Musik-Features und Ansätze zur Nachbildung der Algorithmen, die zu ihrer Berechnung verwendet werden, bzw. Alternativen dazu anhand aktueller Methoden aus dem Bereich Music Information Retrieval. Konkret wurden Algorithmen zur Vorhersage der Features "Danceability, "Acousticness", "Instrumentalness", "Speechiness", "Liveness", "Valence", "Energy" and "Loudness" untersucht. Das Ergebnis dieser Arbeit ist eine Charakterisierung der Eigenschaften der Musik-Features, sowie eine Reihe von Machine-Learning-Modellen, die die Berechnungen der Features reproduzieren, und eine Evaluierung, wie gut die Black-Box-Algorithmen reproduziert werden können.
description: In the research field of Music Information Retrieval a set of semantic music features (i.e. descriptors quantifying certain characteristics of pieces of music) that is offered by music streaming service Spotify has gained scientific relevance because of the fact that it has been used in various research works in the past. The algorithms that are originally used for the purpose of calculating these semantic music features are not public and therefore appear as ``black-box'' algorithms. This work studies the characteristics of these music features and approaches to reproduce or approximate the algorithms that are originally used for calculating them using state of the art methods from the field of Music Information Retrieval. Specifically, the features "Danceability", "Acousticness", "Instrumentalness", "Speechiness", "Liveness", "Valence", "Energy" and "Loudness" are investigated. The outcome of this work is a characterization of the properties of the music features, as well as a set of machine learning models that are reproducing the algorithms for calculation of the features and an evaluation of how well the black-box algorithms can be reproduced.

description: We generalize an empirical likelihood approach to missing data to the case of consumer credit scoring and provide a Hausman test for nonignorability of the missings. An application to recent consumer credit data shows that our model yields parameter estimates which are significantly different (both statistically and economically) from the case where customers who were refused credit are ignored.

description: Background Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are highly prevalent in Ethiopia among people who are in their reproductive and productive prime. Among STIs, syphilis and HIV are significant public health problems in Ethiopia and causes several adverse pregnancy outcomes. Thus this study aims to assess magnitude of both infections among pregnant women attending antenatal care in Wolemera District, Oromia region. General Objective To assess the magnitude of syphilis and HIV among pregnant women attending antenatal care services (ANC) in Wolemera district. Method Facility based retrospective cross-sectional study (record review) was carried out in Wolemera district public health centers stratifying facilities by place. Record of 1665 pregnant women who had attended antenatal care clinic (ANC) from January 2013 to December 2015 was extracted from individual ANC chart using structured checklist. Descriptive, binary and logistic regression analyses were conducted using SPSS version 21. Result The overall prevalence of HIV was 2.9% [95% CI: 2.1%-3.7%], syphilis were [1.2% 95% CI 0.33%-2%] and HIV-syphilis co-infection was, 0.3%. The prevalence of HIV was significantly higher among pregnant women living in urban setting [AOR (95% CI) 3.82 (1.445-7.448)], those who had history of stillbirth [AOR (95% CI) 4.4 (1.4-13.8)], age group 25-34 [AOR (95% CI) 3.51 (1.59-7.72)] and 35-49 years [AOR (95% CI) 4.73 (1.66-13.47)]. Having negative sexual partner protective factor for HIV [AOR (95% CI) 0.31 (0.008-0.122)]. Syphilis was highly prevalent in HIV positive pregnant women (16.7%) than HIV negative [0.8 95% CI [0.01-1.6]. This study showed declining trend of HIV and syphilis in those three years. Conclusion This study reveled that HIV was highly prevalent among pregnant women in Wolmera district. Low syphilis testing was seen in the study area. Intensifying syphilis screening among pregnant women attended ANC is recommended for Elimination of both infections.

description: Ο σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι να αναδείξει την επιρροή που είχαν τα νέα μέσα και οι τεχνολογίες στο ψηφιακό μάρκετινγκ, στη διατήρηση, διεύρυνση και συμμετοχή του κοινού δύο πολιτιστικών οργανισμών της Θεσσαλονίκης, της Κρατικής Ορχήστρας Θεσσαλονίκης και του Οργανισμού Μεγάρου Μουσικής Θεσσαλονίκης την περίοδο της πανδημίας. Ο τρόπος μελέτης των παραπάνω πραγματοποιείται με την ενδελεχή εξέταση των δύο πολιτιστικών οργανισμών ως μελέτη περίπτωσης, με εργαλείο τις συνεντεύξεις των ειδικών που εργάζονται στους συγκεκριμένους οργανισμούς και τη σχετική βιβλιογραφία. Στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο γίνεται χρήση εργαλείου ποσοτικής έρευνας όπου αναφέρονται κάποια στατιστικά δεδομένα που συλλέχθηκαν και φανερώνουν την επισκεψιμότητα του κοινού στα ψηφιακά κανάλια των δύο υπό μελέτη οργανισμών, την περίοδο της πανδημίας. Η μελέτη αυτή εστιάζει συγκεκριμένα στις ψηφιακές τεχνολογίες και εργαλεία καθώς και τον τρόπο που τα χρησιμοποίησε ο εκάστοτε πολιτιστικός οργανισμός για τη δημιουργία οπτικοακουστικού υλικού και την επικοινωνία-διανομή του πολιτιστικού του προϊόντος. Ένα σημαντικό ερώτημα που προκύπτει είναι εάν οι δύο αυτοί πολιτιστικοί οργανισμοί αξιοποίησαν επαρκώς όλα τα διαθέσιμα τεχνολογικά μέσα και εργαλεία για την εξυπηρέτηση της αποστολής τους την κρίσιμη αυτή περίοδο της πανδημίας.
description: The aim of the present study is to point out how media and digital technologies affected the marketing of arts, the audience involvement and engagement of Cultural Organizations such as Thessaloniki State Symphony Orchestra and Thessaloniki Concert Hall, during the pandemic period. The detailed examination of these two cultural organizations as a case study, is the method used. Conveying expert’s interviews that work at the specific Cultural Organizations and reviewing relevant literature are the tools used to study the above-mentioned aspects. In addition, quantitative method tools are being used at the last chapter, such as google analytics and statistics, to show the audience’s presence at the two cultural organization’s (T.S.S.O and T.C.H.) digital channels during the covid-19 period. This study focuses on the use of digital technologies and tools by each cultural organization, as well as the ways used to produce audio-visual content to communicate and distribute their cultural product. A significant question is whether these two cultural organizations (T.S.S.O and T.C.H.) utilized all the available technology means and tools to serve their mission during this difficult pandemic period of Covid-19.

description: We analyze the dust properties of 57 870 $μ$m selected dusty star-forming galaxies in the GOODS-S using new deep ALMA 1.2 mm, 2 mm, and 3 mm continuum imaging together with other far-infrared through millimeter data. We fit the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) with optically thin modified blackbodies to constrain the emissivity indices and effective dust temperatures, finding a median emissivity index of $β= 1.78^{+0.43}_{-0.25}$ and a median temperature of $T_d = 33.6^{+12.1}_{-5.4}$ K. We observe a negative correlation between $β$ and $T_d$. By testing several SED models, we determine that the derived emissivity indices can be influenced by opacity assumptions. Our temperature measurements are consistent with no evolution in dust temperature with redshift.

description: There exist four pion nucleon coupling constants, $f_{π^0, pp}$, $-f_{π^0, nn}$, $f_{π^+, pn} /\sqrt{2}$ and $ f_{π^-, np} /\sqrt{2}$ which coincide when up and down quark masses are identical and the electron charge is zero. While there is no reason why the pion-nucleon-nucleon coupling constants should be identical in the real world, one expects that the small differences might be pinned down from a sufficiently large number of independent and mutually consistent data. Our discussion provides a rationale for our recent determination $$f_p^2 = 0.0759(4) \, , \quad f_{0}^2 = 0.079(1) \,, \quad f_{c}^2 = 0.0763(6) \, , $$ based on a partial wave analysis of the $3σ$ self-consistent nucleon-nucleon Granada-2013 database comprising 6713 published data in the period 1950-2013.
