description: Ninguna encuesta los registra. Sin embargo, muchos están preocupados porque existen. No es una adivinanza. Es el kirchnerismo de intelectuales, académicos, profesionales, escritores, artistas y periodistas. Si se piensa la política solo a partir de los grandes números, se obtiene una “opinión pública” en la que ellos están ausentes porque no pesan como fracción encuestable. Se pierde, así, una zona extraordinariamente activa del mapa ideológico.

description: Dye containing waste water can cause serious water pollution problems by hindering light penetration and photo synthesis and toxicity from heavy metals associated with dyes. In this research study, batch experiments were conducted using thermally activated Eichornia crassipes roots as an adsorbent for the removal a basic dye, malachite green, from aqueous solutions. Effect of operating variables i.e. pH, sorbent dosage, dye concentration and contact time was studied in an agitated batch adsorber. Results showed that maximum dye uptake was observed at an optimum pH 7 .There was no significant difference in dye concentration remaining when the pH increased from 5-10. Dye removal was influenced by initial dye concentration and the sorption process followed first order kinetics. Among the three isotherms tested Redlich Peterson and Langmuir isotherms fitted reasonably well to the data. The negative value of the free energy change indicates the spontaneous nature of biosorption. From the above findings, it was observed that the biosorption process obeyed the first order adsorption kinetics. The negative value of the free energy change calculated indicates the spontaneous nature of the sorption and confirms the affinity between the sorbent and the dye cations.

description: This technical report, conducted by OPeNDAP and The HDF Group, explored three candidate architectures for serving NASA Earth Science HDF5 data stored in S3 via Hyrax running on Amazon Web Services (AWS). We studied the cost and performance for each architecture using the same set of several representative Use-Cases, making direct performance and cost differences in the technologies clearly evident. We found that simple approaches can yield optimal performance under many circumstances.

Summary of the technical report: The Earth Science Data and Information System (ESDIS) Project, which manages NASA's Earth Observing System Data and Information System (EOSDIS), aims to improve data discoverability, accessibility, and usability by leveraging cloud computing. The study compares different architectures for providing Open-source Project for a Network Data Access Protocol (OPeNDAP) data services in the cloud using existing ESDIS datasets and representative use cases.

Three architectures are explored, focusing on serving NASA Earth Science HDF5 data via Hyrax on Amazon Web Services (AWS). The study evaluates cost, performance, and storage considerations for each architecture. Findings suggest a hybrid approach combining elements of Architecture 1 (A1) and Architecture 2 (A2) may be optimal, with Architecture 3 (A3) offering potential storage savings for specific granules.

Recommendations include refining implementations, integrating support for S3 into the HDF5 Library, and exploring serverless architectures. Performance comparisons reveal advantages and disadvantages of each architecture, with A2 and A3 generally outperforming A1 for requests accessing one or two variables but lagging for requests involving multiple variables or entire granules. Cost comparisons highlight differences in processing costs, S3 storage costs, and data requests, with S3 requests representing a small portion of overall costs. In the performance-driven context, processing time impacts costs, while in the performance-agnostic context, S3 requests may constitute a minor portion of costs compared to other factors such as egress data.
'Wavy Time' - Time is Harmonic - by King Tut

description: This paper introduces a new framework for understanding time as a harmonic wave system rather than a linear dimension. It proposes that time exists as a quantum mesh of infinite waves, where each "moment" corresponds to a phase in an ongoing vibration. The underlying medium facilitating this structure is the aether, acting as an informational web that enables resonance between different points in time.

description: Background: Cancer is morphologically and genetically heterogeneous, and the Pan-Cancer Analysis Project aimed to identify the genomic changes present in 12 cancer types from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) set. We aimed to identify predictors of the five main differentiation subtypes in the Pan-Cancer Analysis and a general molecular grading for epithelial malignancies. Design: Whole exome sequencing was performed on tumor and normal tissue samples from 3129 patients enabling the identification of cancer-related mutations in each patient. Clinical data were also collected for all patients, including gender and age. We used a Random Forest machine learning approach to compare the five differentiation subtypes in a pairwise fashion and a low (grade 1-2) vs. high (grade 3-4) grade. Functional somatic mutations unique to tumors were identified and represented as samples x genes mutation matrix (mutated=1, non-mutated=0). ► Pairwise Random Forest models were built for the five cancer differentiation subtypes (Adenocarcinoma, Squamous, Urothelial, Brain, Hematological) ► Recursive feature selection was used in a 5x10 fold cross-validation design. Random Forest models were based on the training set using the caret package in R ► Predictive accuracy of each model was measured in an independent test set. Results: We were able to discriminate between Bladder Urothelial Cancer and Acute Myeloid Leukemia in unseen samples with 87.8% accuracy (95% CI : (78.71, 93.99), Specificity 0.77 Sensitivity 0.94 AUC 0.9677) 5 binary predictors of tumor class membership of Urothelial or Hematological subtypes and epithelial grading (low vs. high). Average accuracy in the other comparisons is 85.0% ► Using a 5 variable random forest ensemble classification model (MLL3, TTN, ARID1A, MLL2, FRG1B), we achieved near 90% accuracy in class assignment task (after excluding any statistically significant gender and age bias between the high grade and low grade tumors) and identifying high grade carcinomas (glandular, squamous and urothelial). Grade-predictive genes included ARID1A, CTCF, CTNNB1, PIK3CA, PIK3R1, PTEN, and TP53. Conclusion: Exome sequence provides reliable data to classify common malignancies and may be clinically useful for the subtyping of malignancies and grading of carcinomas in case of limited tissue (i.e. biopsies). We now aim to produce a 5-class subtyping and 2-tier grading prediction models to assign test samples prospectively.

description: Background: Adrenocortical cancer (ACC) is a rare malignant endocrine tumour. Previously we found that erlotinib (inhibitor of EGFR) had an additive cytotoxic effect to standard therapy with mitotane in H295R cell line, especially after EGF stimulation. Primary cultures of ACC have been proven to be challenging to establish and maintain for further experiments, especially for assessing their steroid profile. Design: The aim of this study was to test the effect in the use of Erlotinib on primary ACC cultures. We successfully cultured 3 ACCs. In 2 ACC cases, radical surgery was a treatment of choice, whereas in the last case - surgery was after neo-adjuvant chemotherapy. Because last tumour was very heterogeneous, we cultured two samples from macroscopically different areas. Cell proliferation rate and the effect of the drugs were assessed by AlamarBlue assay. We used LCMS/MS to assess tumour steroids production from primary cultures derived from metastatic ACC cases. Results: Treatment with mitotane resulted in the decrease of cell proliferation (9%±2%) in all cases at 10uM and total death at 50μM. In one of radically operated ACCs, erlotinib (10μM) decreased proliferation by 24%, whereas in another it was not effective. Surprisingly, erlotinib has the opposite effect on cell proliferation in two samples from metastatic ACC; however its combination with low dose of mitotane (10μM) was sufficient to induce total death. Furthermore, the basal steroid production was different in those samples, and it changed in a different manner after treatment with mitotane and/or erlotinib (with or without EGF stimulation). Conclusion: Erlotinib can have an anti-proliferative effect on primary ACC cultures and can reduce mitotane effective concentration. For cases pre-treated with neo-adjuvant therapy, erlotinib may cause opposite responses in different parts of the same tumour; hence its clinical use needs further careful consideration. Different responses in steroidogenesis from different parts of the same ACC tumour has not been previously described underlines ACC heterogeneity.

description: Στα πλαίσια αυτής της διπλωματικής εργασίας μελετήθηκε το δυναμικό νευρωνικής διαφοροποίησης ανθρώπινων Οδοντικών Στελεχιαίων κυττάρων (DPSCs) in vitro. Στόχος της μελέτης ήταν η αξιολόγηση του δυναμικού διαφοροποίησης υπό την επίδραση των νευροτροφικών παραγόντων και συγκεκριμένα του Νευρικού Αυξητικού παράγοντας (NGF) και της Νευροτροφίνης-3 (ΝΤ3). Για τον σκοπό αυτό πραγματοποιήθηκε αρχικά η κλωνοποίηση και υπερέκφραση των νευροτροφικών παραγόντων που αναφέρθηκαν, καθώς και ο καθαρισμός των πρωτεϊνών αυτών με χρωματογραφία αγχιστείας και συγκεκριμένα με τη χρήση στήλης Ni-NTA αγαρόζης. Οι απομονωμένοι νευροτροφικοί παράγοντες χορηγήθηκαν σε κύτταρα DPSCs in vitro και μελετήθηκε το δυναμικό νευρωνικής διαφοροποίησής των κυττάρων. Η έκφραση νευροειδικών, κυτταρικών δεικτών διαφοροποίησης σε κυτταροκαλλιέργειες DPSCs εκτιμήθηκε με ποσοτική ανάλυση με Αλυσιδωτή Αντίδραση Πολυμεράσης πραγματικού χρόνου (RT-PCR). Σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα οι νευροτροφικοί αυτοί παράγοντες αυξάνουν τα επίπεδα έκφρασης των δεικτών νεστίνης, τουμπουλίνης και ΜΑΡ2, γεγονός που αποδεικνύει τη διαφοροποίηση των κυττάρων προς νευρικά κύτταρα.
description: This thesis aims to investigate and assess the potential of human Dental Stem Cells (DPSCs) to differentiate into neurons, in vitro, under the impact of neurotrophic factors such as Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) and Neurotrophin-3 (NT3). For these purpose, cloning and overexpression of the mentioned Neurotrophic factors was performed, as well as purification of these proteins with Affinity Chromatography and in particular Ni-NTA –agarose column. Isolated Neurotrophic factors were administered to DPSCs cells in vitro and the neuronal differentiation potential was evaluated by detecting the expression of specific neuronal markers in DPSCs cultures. Quantitative analysis using Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) was used to evaluate the expression of neuronal markers. According to the findings, the proportions of nestin, bIII-tubulin (bIII-tub) and microtubule associated-protein 2 (MAP2) were significantly higher in DPSCs cultured with neurotrophic factors compared with those cultured in control media, proving the differentiation of cells into nerve cells.

description: Η παρούσα διατριβή έχει ως αντικείμενο την εκτενή βιβλιογραφική επισκόπηση μίας πρόσφατα προταθείσας μεθόδου βελτίωσης εδαφών, γνωστής ως βιο-τσιμεντοποίηση. Η συγκεκριμένη μέθοδος περιλαμβάνει τη σταθεροποίηση εδαφών με διέγερση μη-παθογόνων εδαφικών βακτηρίων, η οποία είναι δυνατό να πραγματοποιηθεί με μία φυσική τεχνική εδαφικής τσιμεντοποίησης, γνωστή ως «μικροβιακώς επαγόμενη καθίζηση ανθρακικού ασβεστίου», MICP. Η τεχνική αυτή οδηγεί στο σχηματισμό φυσικών συγκολλητικών δεσμών τσιμεντοποίησης στην επιφάνεια και στα σημεία επαφής μεταξύ των εδαφικών κόκκων, καθώς και στα κενά των εδαφικών πόρων. Η παρουσία αυτή των δεσμών τσιμεντοποίησης στο βιο-τσιμεντοποιημένο έδαφος μεταβάλλει σημαντικά την εδαφική του μικρο-δομή, και ως εκ τούτου βελτιώνει σημαντικά τη μακρο-σκοπική του συμπεριφορά. Η βιο-τσιμεντοποίηση αποτελεί μία πολλά υποσχόμενη βιώσιμη μέθοδο βελτίωσης εδαφών, με πληθώρα εφαρμογών, μεταξύ των οποίων η σταθεροποίηση των εδαφών, ο έλεγχος της διάβρωσης, η αποκατάσταση ρυπασμένων εδαφών, η στεγανοποίηση δεξαμενών γεωργικών εκμεταλλεύσεων και η διαχείριση αγροτικών αποβλήτων.
description: This thesis presents an extensive literature review on a recently proposed method of soil improvement, known as bio-cementation. This method involves the stabilization of soils via the stimulation of non-pathogenic soil bacteria, which can be achieved by means of a natural soil-cementation technique, known as “microbially induced calcite precipitation”, MICP. This technique induces the formation of cementation bonds both among individual soil grains and within soil voids. The presence of cementation bonds within the soil alters significantly soil structure and therefore improves soil behaviour. Bio-cementation constitutes a highly promising sustainable soil improvement method, with a wide range of applications, among which are stabilization of slopes, erosion control, remediation of contaminated soils, sealing of agricultural reservoirs and agricultural waste management.

description: Background: BRAF gene encodes a serine-threonine kinase that inhibits the RAS/MAPK intracellular pathway. BRAF mutations occur at an early stage of colorectal cancer and their presence, 10-20% of colorectal cancer (CRC), is usually associated with inferior prognosis.
 Materials and Methods: From 41 consecutive CRC con firmed referrals from 1,446 suspected cancer cases ( mean age=67.99+13.451, male=21, female=20), we retrospecti vely analyzed collected data from haemoglobin (Hb) and symptoms at presentation, location of tumor and stage of the disease, including lymphovascular invasion (LVI). Gene profile analysis data (KRAS, BRAF) were retrospectively collected and associated with the presentation profile above.
 Results: There was no significant correlation in presentation Hb levels and eventual disease staging (p>0.05 for all associations). Patients with right-sided tumours were found to have a lower Hb level than patients with either left-sided colonic or rectal tumours. Hb levels were also significantly lower in patients with the BRAF V600E mutation. KRAS status or LVI status did not have a specific correlation with Hb levels.
 Conclusion: BRAF V600E mutation might be associated with right-sided tumors and subsequently related unexplained iron-deficiency anaemia (IDA) at presentation. This finding may affect the choice of clinical strategy for investigation of unexplained IDA. Further research should be conducted in order to identify and support the potential biological explanation of the findings above.

description: The 2009 influenza A(H1N1)pdm09 virus first appeared in Mexico in March and resulted in the first global pandemic since 1968. This pandemic caused at the very least 18, 000 deaths worldwide over the approximately 17-month pandemic period, and was characterized by an atypical and disproportionate age distribution, mostly sparing adults over 60. While this pandemic was relatively mild in terms of mortality in comparison to previous pandemics, the burden of infection was felt globally and the pandemic virus continued to circulate even after WHO declared the pandemic over in August, 2010. Several studies have already attempted to analyze influenza burden during the 2009 pandemic period and during recurring waves of this virus in individual countries. However, none attempted a comparison of A(H1N1)pdm09 activity between countries in different climates and regions, after the initial 2009-10 pandemic period. The purpose of this endeavor is to conduct such an analysis and determine what country factors (using World Bank country indicators) may explain differences in timing and intensity, of pandemic wave activity during 2009-2012. To accomplish this, I accessed the World Health Organization’s (WHO) FluNet laboratory surveillance database to select and analyze a cohort of countries providing reliable virological surveillance data. Multiple regression modeling and geographic analysis were used and results indicated that all countries experienced multiple waves of A(H1N1)pdm09 infection, and that several countries actually experienced a larger proportion of cases after the pandemic had ended. In addition, several factors including economic indicators (GNI, measles immunizations, etc.), regional location (Americas, Europe, and South East Asia), and prevalence of female smoking were associated with a higher number of pandemic influenza waves. Finally, I present several recommendations based on the analysis findings, including: 1. Proposed Improvements for WHO FluNet surveillance system; 2. Improving post-pandemic surveillance and public health efforts; and 3. Suggested findings and techniques deserving of continued research. Special thanks and consideration go to Dr. Lone Simonsen for her continuous support and guidance throughout the planning, research, and writing of this thesis project. I would also like to give a special thanks to the World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Influenza Surveillance team, specifically Dr. Julia Fitzner, Dr. Anthony Mounts, and Dr. Katelijn Vandemaele, for their overall guidance and assistance with the WHO FluNet respiratory surveillance data.

description: The topic of my dissertation revolves around the concept of Sustainable Development. This notion consists of three independent and mutually reinforcing pillars: economic development, social development and environmental protection. For this reason, the goals which have been chosen are relevant to the three dimensions. They are 3 from the 17 SDGS (Sustainable Development Goals) of the “Agenda 2030”, which was adopted by the United Nations, and they are the following: the Goal 4 which promotes inclusive and equitable quality education, the Goal 7 which ensures access to affordable, reliable and modern energy for all and the Goal 17 which strengthens the means of implementation and revitalizes the global partnership for sustainable development. The aim of my dissertation is to explore the ways of the implementation of the SDGs in the Rostov Region of Russia and in the Region of Central Macedonia and to look for common ground in order to strengthen the communication and the cooperation between them. Subsequently, the selected SDGs will be recorded and assessed in these regions.

description: This review presents a brief trend in Minna Municipal solid Waste (MSW) management. Municipal solid waste is a major environmental problem in Minna as in many developing towns. Although strict regulations on the management of solid waste are in place, primitive disposal methods such as open dumping and discharge into surface water are still being used in various parts of the town. The review also presents the MSW management structure together with the present situation of generation composition, collection, disposal and treatment. It also provides a brief discussion on the future challenges. Waste generation increases by more than 200% within two decades and increase in budgetary allocation is not proportional to the waste generation increase. The waste management agency did not have enough resources to tackle the ever increasing Municipal Solid Waste. The collection process is deficient in terms of manpower and vehicle availability. Bin capacity provided is inadequate and their locations were found to be inappropriate, thus contributing to the inefficiency of the system. At this time, no treatment is provided to the waste after collection. Under- estimation of waste generation rates and inadequate management and technical skills were also responsible for inappropriate waste management system in the town

description: Fuel quality assurance and analysis, as it pertains to the United States armed forces, is crucial for maintaining operability and upholding safety regulations with respect to fuel class. Currently a great amount of effort, money and manpower are dedicated to this task as fuel analysis takes place in off-site laboratories where quality assessment and property determination is performed manually by highly qualified lab technicians. This presents the military with a logistics problem with respect to refueling, transport, and fuel storage as the typical tum-around time is 1-2 weeks. In this thesis it has been demonstrated that near-infrared spectroscopy, in conjunction with partial least squares (PLS) analysis, can be used to make rapid and accurate predictions of a wide range of fuel properties (API gravity, aromatics content, cetane index, cloud point, density, distillation% recovered (10, 20, 50 and 90%), flash point, freeze point, hydrogen content, pour point, saturates, and viscosity) for diesel, jet and unknown fuel classes ( either jet or diesel). It has also been shown that calibration models built using a master instrument can be transferred to slave instruments with a novel calibration transfer method using fuel spectra which are digitally synthesized from the spectra of a series of seven neat standards.

description: Το θέμα της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας αφορά τον Οικουμενικό Πατριάρχη Μάξιμο Ε΄ (1897 – 1972). Πρόκειται για ένα Πατριάρχη που εξελέγει στον Οικουμενικό Θρόνο για δύο χρόνια από το 1946 εώς το 1948. Η εργασία πραγματεύεται το βίο του από τη γέννησή του στη Σινώπη του Πόντου, την εισαγωγή του στη Θεολογική Σχολή της Χάλκης, την εκλογή του σε Μητροπολίτη Φιλαδέλφειας και ακολούθως σε Χαλκηδόνας. Έπειτα διερευνάται το διπλωματικό παρασκήνιο που αφορούσε την αφαίρεση του ονόματός του από τη λίστα υποψηφίων του διαδόχου του Πατριάρχη Φωτίου Β΄ το 1935 ύστερα από παρέμβαση των τουρκικών αρχών, καθώς και η σύλληψη του από τους τούρκους κατά το Β Παγκόσμιο Πόλεμο. Το 1946 εκλέγεται από την Πατριαρχική Σύνοδο Οικουμενικός Πατριάρχης, συγκεντρώνοντας τα πυρά του τουρκικού τύπου λόγω των στενών σχέσεών του με τη Ρωσική Εκκλησία. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάζονται τα γεγονότα της διετούς Πατριαρχίας του, το έργο του, η ασθένειά του και το κλίμα που δημιουργήθηκε στο Φανάρι από την φημολογία περί της αντικατάστασής του. Παραθέτουμε όλες τις διπλωματικές ενέργειες των τουρκικών, ελληνικών και αμερικανικών αρχών που τον οδήγησαν σε παραίτηση τον Οκτώβριο του 1948. Στο τελευταίο μέρος της εργασίας παρουσιάζεται η ζωή του μετά την παραίτησή του εώς το θάνατό του το 1972.
description: The subject of this dissertation concerns the Ecumenical Patriarch Maximus V (1897 - 1972). This is a Patriarch who elects to the Ecumenical Throne for two years from 1946 to 1948. Diplomacy deals with his life from his birth in Sinope of Pontus, his admission to the Theological School of Halki, his election as Metropolitan of Philadelphia and then in Chalcedon. The diplomatic background to the removal of his name from the list of candidates for Patriarch Photios II in 1935 after the intervention of the Turkish authorities, as well as his arrest by the Turks during World War II, is then investigated. In 1946 he was elected Ecumenical Patriarch by the Patriarchal Synod, gathering the reactions of the Turkish press due to his close relations with the Russian Church. The following are the events of his two-year Patriarchate, his work, his illness, and the situation created in Fanart by the rumors about his replacement. We quote all the diplomatic actions of the Turkish, Greek, and American authorities that led him to resign in October 1948. The last part of the work presents his life after his resignation until his death in 1972.

description: Σκοπός της συγκεκριμένης βιβλιογραφικής ανασκόπησης είναι η αποσαφήνιση της επίδρασης της άσκησης στο νερό σε ασθενείς με NP και η αναζήτηση των συμπτωμάτων της νόσου που επηρεάζονται από αυτό το είδος άσκησης. Η NP επηρεάζει τις ζωές μεγάλου μέρους του παγκόσμιου πληθυσμού υπό την επίδραση των κινητικών και μη κινητικών της συμπτωμάτων. Γι’ αυτό και αρκετές έρευνες έχουν ασχοληθεί με την αναζήτηση των πιο ωφέλιμων τύπων άσκησης για αυτήν την πολύ-συμπτωματική νόσο. Τα κυριότερα σημεία έρευνας στην σύγχρονη βιβλιογραφία για την άσκηση στο νερό σε ασθενείς με NP αφορούν την επίδρασή της στην ισορροπία, την βάδιση, τις πτώσεις, τον πόνο, την ποιότητα ζωής, την κινητικότητα και την λειτουργικότητα. Ταυτόχρονα αντιπαραθέτουν την άσκηση στο νερό έναντι της άσκησης στο έδαφος ή έναντι της συνήθους φροντίδας. Η υδροθεραπεία φαίνεται πως δρα ευεργετικά στα άτομα με NP τόσο μέσω των χημικών όσο και των φυσικών επιδράσεων του νερού, και ενδείκνυται για την βελτίωση της ισορροπίας, της βάδισης, της μυϊκής δύναμης και της ποιότητας ζωής των ασθενών
description: The purpose of this literature review is to clarify the effect of exercise in water in patients with PD and to look for the symptoms of the disease that are affected by this type of exercise. PD affects the lives of a large part of the world’s population under the influence of its motor and non-motor symptoms. That’s why a lot of research has been done in search of the most beneficial types of exercise for this multi-symptomatic disease. The main research points in the recent literature on water exercise in patients with PD concern its effect on balance, gait, falls, pain, quality of life, mobility, and function. At the same time, they contrast exercise in water with exercise on the ground or regular care. Hydrotherapy seems to have a beneficial effect on people with PD through both the chemical and physical effects of water, and is indicated for improving the balance, gait, muscle strength and quality of life of patients.

description: Growth and final total yields of crops and intercrops largely depends on the interception and the efficiency of use of growth resources namely water, nutrient and radiation. The literature indicates that provided water and nutrients are not limiting, growth and final yields of crops is mainly dependant on the amount of intercepted photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) and the efficiency of its use by the crops and/or the intercrops (i.e. Radiation use efficiency). However, PAR, which is a free natural resource, must be intercepted and utilized instantaneously, as it cannot be stored for later use. Empirical evidences abounds to indicate that it is possible to improve the interception of PAR by the crop through the manipulation of agronomic tools such as sowing date, seeding rate, fertilization, intercropping amongst others. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) plus faba bean (Vicia faba L.) intercropping system experiments are increasingly being carried out but only a few of these investigations studied PAR interception and RUE. This paper reviews PAR interception, RUE and associated variables with particular emphasises on the need to assess these variables in wheat/faba bean intercrop system.

description: Η παρούσα μελέτη αποσκοπεί να διερευνήσει την έκταση του ρατσισμού και του αποκλεισμού που υφίστανται οι μειονοτικοί Θρακιώτες μουσουλμάνοι κάτοικοι της περιοχής Άβαντος της Αλεξανδρούπολης με σημείο αναφοράς τη φωνή και τις εμπειρίες ζωής των μορφωμένων μελών. Είναι γνωστό από τη βιβλιογραφία ότι στο πλαίσιο της ελληνικής και τουρκικής εθνικιστικής αντιπαράθεσης τα χαμηλότερα κοινωνικοοικονομικά στρώματα της Μουσουλμανικής Μειονότητας της Θράκης αποκλείστηκαν σε επίπεδο κοινωνικο-oικονομικής και πολιτικής συμμετοχής. Στην εν λόγω περίπτωση όμως η «αμφιλεγόμενη» ταυτότητα -αυτή των «Ρομά» που τους αποδίδεται-, αποτελεί τον πλέον επιβαρυντικό παράγοντα στην κοινωνική καταξίωση και διαστρωμάτωση, δυσχεραίνοντας περισσότερο τις συνθήκες διαβίωσης των συγκεκριμένων ανθρώπων. Έτσι η έρευνα αυτή πραγματεύεται τον ρόλο των θεσμών στη συντήρηση του ρατσισμού, του συνακόλουθου αποκλεισμού και των διακρίσεων εις βάρος της συγκεκριμένης μειονοτικής ομάδας. Αναφέρεται στους παράγοντες που ενισχύουν ή αποδυναμώνουν τον ρατσισμό που υφίστανται στην ευρύτερη κοινωνία και στο δημόσιο σχολείο. Ακόμη, διερευνά τον τρόπο που τα μέλη της μειονοτικής ομάδας αντιμετωπίζουν τον ρατσισμό, τον αποκλεισμό, την υποτελή διαβίωση και τις δυνατότητες για την κοινωνική και την πολιτική συμμετοχή τους.
description: This research work is trying to examine the degree of racism and social exclusion the members of Muslim Minority of Greece who live in the city of Alexandoupoli and more specifically in the region of Terma Avados suffer. That examination is based on life experiences of some of its educated members. As it is well known from the literature survey, due to the conflict between Greek and Turkish nationalism the lowest strata of the Muslim Minority people in Greece didn’t enjoy equality related to their social, financial, and political rights. In this case though, the situation of people who are defined as Roma people-a controversial identity- is even worse as far as their conditions of living are concerned. This research work looks at the role of social institutions in preserving racism, social exclusion and discrimination against the particular minority group. Also to factors strengthening or weakening racism in the wider society and the public school. At last examines the way the members of the minority group confront racism, exclusion, subjugated living, along with the opportunities for their social and political participation.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία παρουσιάζει ένα βασικό πρόβλημα της γράφουσας που δημιουργήθηκε κατά τη διάρκεια του β’ εξαμήνου στο Μεταπτυχιακό Πρόγραμμα Σπουδών της Μουσειολογίας & Διαχείρισης Πολιτισμού. Ο προβληματισμός αυτός αφορά το πώς μια ψηφιακή έκθεση μπορεί να γίνει προσβάσιμη για άτομα με Οπτική Αναπηρία. Στη συγκεκριμένη μελέτη παρατίθενται ορισμοί που αφορούν τα ψηφιακά μουσεία και τις ψηφιακές εκθέσεις, αλλά και την ομάδα κοινού που εξετάζει, τα προβλήματα προσβασιμότητας σε ένα φυσικό και διαδικτυακό περιβάλλον που αντιμετωπίζουν τα άτομα με προβλήματα όρασης, και παρατίθενται οι υποστηρικτικές τεχνολογίες που χρησιμοποιεί η ομάδα κοινού για την πλοήγηση στο διαδίκτυο. Επιπλέον, αναλύεται ο νοηματικός σχεδιασμός της ψηφιακής έκθεσης φωτογραφίας για το Ορφανοτροφείο «Η Μέλισσα», η οποία πραγματοποιήθηκε στα πλαίσια πρακτικής άσκησης της γράφουσας, και των προβλημάτων προσβασιμότητας που προέκυψαν από το ψηφιακό περιβάλλον της έκθεσης. Αφορμή των προβλημάτων που προέκυψαν, πραγματοποιείται η αναδιαμόρφωση της ίδιας νοηματικά έκθεσης με κριτήρια προσβασιμότητας, όπως προκύπτουν από τη συνεργασία με κατασκευαστή ιστοσελίδων. Η αναδιαμόρφωση της ψηφιακής έκθεσης σχολιάζεται από τη σκοπιά του χρήστη-επισκέπτη της και εμπεριέχει κριτήρια σύμφωνα με το WebAIM. Στόχος της διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι να θέσει τα θεμέλια, αποτελώντας χρήσιμο εργαλείο, για μελλοντική έρευνα.
description: This dissertation presents a big problem that arose during the second semester in the Postgraduate Program in Museology & Cultural Management. This concerns how a digital report can be made accessible to people with Visual Disabilities. This study presents the definitions of digital museums and digital exhibitions, as well as the audience group that survey, accessibility issues in a physical and online environment faced by visually impaired people. Also, presents the supporting technologies used by the audience group for internet browsing. In addition, the semantic design of the digital photo exhibition for the "Melissa" Orphanage, which took place as part of the author's internship, and the accessibility problems that arose from the digital environment of the exhibition are analyzed. The reason for the problems that arose, is the remodeling of the same semantically report with accessibility criteria. They result from the collaboration with a web developer. The remodeling of the digital report is commented from the point of view of its user-visitor and contains criteria according to WebAIM. The dissertation aims to lay the foundations, being a useful tool, for future research.
