description: We present theoretical analysis of the normal state resistivity in multiband superconductors in the framework of Eliashberg theory. The results are compared with measurements of the temperature dependence of normal state resistivity of high-purity Ba$_{0.68}$K$_{0.32}$Fe$_{2}$As$_{2}$ single crystals with the highest reported transition temperature $T_c$ = 38.5 K. The experimental data demonstrate strong deviations from the Bloch-Grüneisen behavior, namely the tendency to saturation of the resistivity at high temperatures. The observed behavior of the resistivity is explained within the two band scenario when the first band is strongly coupled and relatively clean, while the second band is weakly coupled and is characterized by much stronger impurity scattering.

Designing biology informed anthropogenically driven invasive forest pests risk models
Creators: name: Srivastava, Vivek
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Forest invasive species (FIS) pose significant threats to the economic and ecological stability of our forests. Given the potential impact of invasive species, tools are needed that will help prevent invasions, or enable effective early responses through robust interception and surveillance frameworks. Spatial models aim at identifying meaningful spatial relationships between different geographical features. Climate based spatial models have the ability to provide information on current and future potential for invasion and spread. Species distribution modelling (SDM) is a valuable tool for predicting the potential distribution of invasive species across space and time. While recent developments in modeling approaches and wider availability of environmental datasets have create advanced and more accurate SDM, in many cases the developed models ignore the associated underlying ecological processes. Moreover, bioclimatic variables usually included in the SDMs do not account for anthropogenic impacts on the response variable and the methods to integrate species traits as predicted by genetics into projections of species distributions are not generally used. In this PhD dissertation I address these key issues in particular reference to two pests and two pathogens that represent urgent threats. I explored the sensitivity of SDM modelling in two of the major ports in Canada and produced dispersal restricted projections of individual FIS distributions in various climate change scenarios. I also analyzed the methodology of determining climatic niches and compared the native and post-invasion niches of chosen FIS. I found that if I ignored the underlying FIS biology such as use of biologically relevant predictors, appropriate feature selection and inclusion of dispersal and biotic interactions when I developed SDMs, I obtained complex SDMs that provided an incomplete picture of the potential FIS invasion. Most of the representative invasives were far away from reaching niche equilibrium. In this thesis throughout I discuss the potential of spatial models in risk analysis of FIS. I provide an improved framework for invasive species risk mapping using spatial models. The methodology presented in this dissertation to develop pest risk maps is robust and easy and the presented results can guide monitoring and help inform management of these and other invasive species.

description: Here, BV(RI)c broad band photometry and intermediate resolution spectroscopy in Halpha region are presented for two rapidly rotating late-type stars: EY Dra and V374 Peg. For a third rapid rotator, GSC 02038-00293, intermediate resolution Halpha spectroscopy and low resolution spectroscopy are used for spectral classification and stellar parameter investigation of this poorly known object. The low resolution spectrum of GSC 02038-00293 clearly indicates that it is a K-type star. Its intermediate resolution spectrum can be best fitted with a model with Teff=4750K and vsini=90km/s, indicating a very rapidly rotating mid-K star. The Halpha line strength is variable, indicating changing chromospheric emission on GSC 02038-00293. In the case of EY Dra and V374 Peg, the stellar activity in the photosphere is investigated from the photometric observations, and in the chromosphere from the Halpha line. The enhanced chromospheric emission in EY Dra correlates well with the location of the photospheric active regions, indicating that these features are spatially collocated. Hints of this behaviour are also seen in V374 Peg, but it cannot be confirmed from the current data. The photospheric activity patterns in EY Dra are stable during one observing run lasting several nights, whereas in V374 Peg large night-to-night variations are seen. Two large flares, one in the Halpha observations and one from the broadband photometry, and twelve smaller ones were detected in V374 Peg during the observations spanning nine nights. The energy of the photometrically detected largest flare is estimated to be 4.25x10^31 - 4.3x10^32 ergs, depending on the waveband. Comparing the activity patterns in these two stars, which are just below and above the mass limit of full convection, is crucial for understanding dynamo operation in stars with different internal structures.

description: Il presente lavoro di ricerca vuole favorire l’inserimento di un’allieva muto-selettiva all’interno del contesto classe, per permetterle di gestire l’ansia che provoca il disturbo e vivere con maggiore serenità l’anno scolastico che dovrà affrontare. La docente e gli allievi intraprendono un progetto laboratoriale basato sulla narrazione, che ha permesso di creare una situazione protetta in cui far sentire l’allieva muto-selettiva in un ambiente sicuro concedendo anche a lei di creare delle relazioni più solide. Queste relazioni e questi scambi con i compagni permettono agli allievi di sviluppare diverse competenze trasversali come la collaborazione e comunicazione. L’approccio utilizzato (ricerca-azione) ha permesso di analizzare il problema identificato nel contesto educativo (mutismo selettivo), progettando così gli interventi adeguati alla realtà osservata. Questo lavoro di ricerca ha portato molteplici cambiamenti che hanno migliorato l’entrata nel ciclo di scolarizzazione dell’allieva, come pure la convivenza all’interno della classe nel corso dell’anno. Si tratta di uno studio volto a validare strategie efficaci sul tema del mutismo, per aiutare insegnanti e genitori che si trovano confrontati con questo problema.

description: Obesity has been linked to reduced vaccine responses against tetanus, hepatitis B and influenza. Data on the influence of paediatric obesity on influenza vaccine response is still lacking and this study aims to fill the gap. A total of 30 children with obesity and 30 children with normal weight, aged 12–18 years, were recruited. Participants were vaccinated with a tetravalent influenza vaccine. Blood was collected prior to the vaccination and again four weeks later. The humoral response was assessed with haemagglutinin inhibition assay. The cellular response was assessed with T-cell stimulation assays measuring TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-2 and IL-13. Of the 29/30 from the study group and 30/30 from the control group finished both visits. Seroconversion occurred for > 90% of participants in both groups for the A/H1N1, A/H3N2 and B/Victoria strains, but the B/Yamagata strain had lower seroconversion rates (93% in the study group and 80% in the control group). 97-100% of participants from both groups had adequate serological responses following vaccination. Cellular responses were similar between the two groups post-vaccination. Early humoral and cellular immune responses to influenza vaccinations are similar among adolescents with obesity and normal weight.

description: This edited transcript of a presentation by filmmaker/choreographer Laura Taler responds to Heinrich von Kleist’s text by taking him on as a dancing partner. It follows a simple structure of proposal and response similar to that found in the movements between leader and follower in Argentine tango. Engaging Kleist’s text in the double form of a speech and a tango performance, this critical contribution follows a twofold direction: it questions Kleist’s representation of dance as a mechanical activity deprived of any form of intelligence and it refuses his attempt to force the aesthetic experience of dance into a framework that privileges theory over bodily experience. These two classical philosophical positions are questioned and provocatively opposed to the dynamic, situated, and dialogic thought performed within a witty tango interaction.

Year: 1964

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Kernel-based machine learning algorithms are based on mapping data from the original input feature space to a kernel feature space of higher dimensionality to solve a linear problem in that space. Over the last decade, kernel based classification and regression approaches such as support vector machines have widely been used in remote sensing as well as in various civil engineering applications. In spite of their better performance with different datasets, support vector machines still suffer from shortcomings such as visualization/interpretation of model, choice of kernel and kernel specific parameter as well as the regularization parameter. Relevance vector machines are another kernel based approach being explored for classification and regression with in last few years. The advantages of the relevance vector machines over the support vector machines is the availability of probabilistic predictions, using arbitrary kernel functions and not requiring setting of the regularization parameter. This paper presents a state-of-the-art review of SVM and RVM in remote sensing and provides some details of their use in other civil engineering application also.

Sistema di misurazione per diametro filo WEDM

Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2020

description: L’obbiettivo di questo progetto di diploma è realizzare un dispositivo di misura in grado di rilevare variazioni nel diametro del filo utilizzato dalle macchine WEDM. La tipologia di filamento che si vuole andare a misurare ha un diametro compreso tra 0.2 [mm] e 0.5 [mm]; la precisione con cui si vuole realizzare la misura vale 0.002 [mm]. Il filamento metallico utilizzato dalle macchine utensili WEDM è un elemento spesso soggetto a rottura, principalmente durante le fasi di sgrossatura. Per evitare questo inconveniente il filo viene fatto scorrere velocemente in modo da limitare l’usura e ridurre quindi il rischio di rottura. Questa pratica, se pur funzionale, porta a un grande spreco di filo. La tecnologia scelta per la realizzazione della misura si basa sull’utilizzo degli estensimetri. Il relativo elemento elastico, sul quale vengono applicate le griglie di misura, necessita di un dettagliato dimensionamento. Al fine di garantire una buona resistenza all’abrasione, nella zona di contatto con il filo, vengono usati dei rubini sintetici montati su un sistema a parallelogramma che li mantiene perfettamente paralleli. Per verificare concretamente la validità del progetto è stato realizzato un prototipo che ha mostrato immediatamente ottime capacità di misura e alcune criticità legate all’allineamento dei rubini e al meccanismo scorrevole. Lo strumento sviluppato è in grado di misurare con precisione il diametro del filo lungo 3 assi di misura sfasati tra di loro di 60°. L’operazione di inserimento automatico del filo non viene ostacolata grazie ad un meccanismo caratterizzato da un manicotto scorrevole guidato da un attuatore pneumatico. Gli ingombri effettivi dell’attrezzatura montata sulla macchina valgono 260 x 265 x 78 [mm]. Il prodotto finale risulta compatibile con la macchina sperimentale fornita dalla ditta AGIE. Grazie alle geometrie sviluppate risulta possibile montare l’intera attrezzatura utilizzando gli elementi di fissaggio già presenti sul basamento della macchina, sfruttando anche le parti cave del basamento per risparmiare spazio. Non sono quindi richieste modifiche invasive per una corretta installazione.

description: Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease, and estimates suggest a gradual increase in the incidence during the last decades. The primary aim of this study was to report the incidence, trend and aetiology of PLA during a decade in Southern Sweden. This was a population-based observational cohort study between 2011 and 2020 in Skåne, Southern Sweden. Data were retrieved from the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare for all individuals diagnosed with liver abscess (K750) according to ICD-10 (International Statistical Classification of Diseases, 10th revision). A total of 456 episodes of PLA occurred in 364 patients during the study period. The median age of the first PLA episode was 71 years (range 3–97) and 57% (n = 206) were men. The mean incidence of all patients was 3.4/100,000 person-years (range 1.8–5.2). The incidence increased almost three times, from 1.8/100,000 person-years in 2011 to 5.2/100,000 person-years in 2020. Streptococcus species, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella species accounted for the vast majority of both mono- and polymicrobial findings in both blood and local abscess cultures. 16s rDNA added information about aetiology in 37% of episodes. The incidence of PLA increased during the study period, and Streptococcus spp., Klebsiella spp. and E. coli dominated both blood and local cultures. Despite antimicrobial therapy, pathogens could be found in local abscess cultures several weeks into treatment. Increased use of 16s rDNA in the management of PLA could be beneficial.

description: The article compares the aesthetic notions of the je ne sais quoi (as it emerges in the Renaissance and is widely debated in the eighteenth century) and of the ‘uncanny’ as theorized by Ernst Jentsch and Sigmund Freud in the early twentieth century. Its hypothesis is that both notions, in situating aesthetic experience in a liminal space between pleasure and trouble, can be considered after-images of non-aesthetical notions — notions that belong to the domain of the sacred and have metamorphosed as forms of aesthetic undecidability through the paradigmatic fracture of early modernity. The article focuses on depictions of female figures directing their gaze upward — in the iconography of Sade’s Justine, in popular imagery connected with Lourdes apparitions (1858), in medium photography, and in the images taken by Charcot of his hysterical patients at the Salpêtrière — and argues that they become a Warburgian Pathosformel indicating a space of undecidability and ‘non-sense’ between the subject and otherness.

Urine Uromodulin and Genetics of its Variation

Year: 2022

description: Uromodulin, or Tamm-Horsfall protein, is a protein well known to nephrologists as the gel-like structure matrix found in urinary casts. The glycoprotein is produced by epithelial cells of the thick ascending limb (TAL) and the distal convoluted tubules of the nephron. It is detected in urine as a high-molecular weight polymer, and is found in low concentrations in the serum, in a monomeric form. Both serum and urine uromodulin concentrations correlate with kidney function, and may bemarkers of functional kidneymass and tubular health. In the urine, uromodulin acts as an inhibitor of calcium crystallization and is thought to have an immune role against uropathogenic bacteria. The uromodulin protein is commercially measured using ELISA. However, urinary uromodulin is more susceptible to degradation and quality-control laboratory conditions, and there is variability in itsmeasurement. Genetic studies have identified rare coding mutations in the uromodulin gene (UMOD) associated with monogenic forms of CKD and UMOD noncoding (regulatory) common variants have been consistently associated with kidney function, CKD, and hypertension in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Therefore, there is a great interest in identifying additional genetic factors that regulate uromodulin protein beyond the gene that encodes it.

description: The recent emergence of self-driving laboratories (SDL) and material acceleration platforms (MAPs) demonstrates the ability of these systems to change the way chemistry and material syntheses will be performed in the future. Especially in conjunction with nano- and advanced materials which are generally recognized for their great potential in solving current material science challenges, such systems can make disrupting contributions. Here, we describe in detail MINERVA, an SDL specifically built and designed for the synthesis, purification, and in line characterization of nano- and advanced materials. By fully automating these three process steps for seven different materials from five representative, completely different classes of nano- and advanced materials (metal, metal oxide, silica, metal organic framework, and core–shell particles) that follow different reaction mechanisms, we demonstrate the great versatility and flexibility of the platform. We further study the reproducibility and particle size distributions of these seven representative materials in depth and show the excellent performance of the platform when synthesizing these material classes. Lastly, we discuss the design considerations as well as the hardware and software components that went into building the platform and make all of the components publicly available.

description: Measurements of pleural fluid biomarkers for rapid identification of complicated parapneumonic effusion (CPPE) are crucial for optimal management. Previous studies for biomarker evaluation were however based on pleura culture, not modern DNA technique. Lactate has not been thoroughly studied earlier as a potential biomarker in this regard. To evaluate whether the routine biomarkers pH, glucose, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) measured in pleural fluid in a microbiological well characterised cohort could differentiate simple parapneumonic effusion (SPPE) from CPPE and if pleural fluid lactate could be of additional use in this discrimination. Pleural fluid prospectively collected from adult patients (n = 112) with PPE admitted to the Departments of Infectious Diseases (DIDs) at four Stockholm County hospitals were characterised microbiologically with bacterial culture and 16S rDNA sequencing, and biochemically with pH, glucose, LDH and lactate. Forty and seventy two patients were categorised as SPPE/CPPE. The median values between SPPE/CPPE differed significantly for all biomarkers with varying overlap. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves showed the area under the curve (AUC) for pH 0.905 (CI 0.847–0.963), glucose 0.861 (CI 0.79–0.932), LDH 0.917 (CI 0.860–0.974) and lactate 0.927 (CI 0.877–0.977), corresponding to best cut-off levels and sensitivity/specificity for pH of 7.255, 0.819/0.9, glucose 5.35 mmol/L, 0.847/0.775, LDH 9.8 µcat/L, 0.905/0.825 and lactate 4.9 mmol/L, 0.875/0.85. To distinguish between SPPE/CPPE, pH and LDH performed well, but optimal cut-off values differed from earlier established recommendations. Pleura lactate had the largest AUC of the investigated biomarkers and may be used in the analyses of PPE-staging.

description: A theory of optical emission of quantum dot arrays in quantum microcavities is developed. The regime of the strong coupling between the quantum dots and photonic mode of the cavity is considered. The quantum dots are modeled as two-level systems. In the low pumping (linear) regime the emission spectra are mainly determined by the superradiant mode where the effective dipoles of the dots oscillate in phase. In the non-linear regime the superradiant mode is destroyed and the emission spectra are sensitive to the parity of quantum dot number. Further increase of the pumping results in the line width narrowing being an evidence of the lasing regime.

description: It has been advocated that critical power (CP) should be considered the gold standard to determine the maximal metabolic steady state (MMSS). However, the choice of the model affects the estimation of CP, previous research reporting differences of up to 28% between the lowest and highest CP estimates. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate which of the models, exponential (CPexp), 3-parameter hyperbolic (CP3-hyp), 2-parameter hyperbolic (CP2-hyp), linear (CPlinear), and inverse of time (CP1/time), estimates MMSS best, defined by the maximal intensity at which an oxygen uptake (V ̇O2) steady state is still achievable. Eleven male participants (Age: 31 ± 11 years, Body mass: 70.5 ± 5.6 kg) performed three time-trials (12-, 6-, and 3-min long) to determine CP from the five models. On three subsequent visits, participants cycled for 30-min, or until task failure, at the CP estimated by each model. CPexp estimated the highest CP (303 ± 69 W), followed by CP1/time (272 ± 66 W), CPlinear (270 ± 64 W), CP2-hyp (266 ± 65 W) and CP3-hyp (262 ± 63 W). V ̇O2 stabilised at a significantly lower value than peak V ̇O2 (V ̇O2peak) during exercise at CPlinear, CP2-hyp, and CP3-hyp (94 ± 5%, P = 0.041; 87 ± 4%, P < 0.001; 86 ± 4%, P < 0.001, respectively). CPlinear had a mixed individual response, 7 out of 11 participants failing to attain a V ̇O2 steady state. V ̇O2 stabilisation was not significantly different to V ̇O2peak during exercise at CPexp and CP1/time (98 ± 2%, P = 1.000; 94 ± 6%, P = 0.130, respectively). Rate of perceived exertion significantly increased over time during exercise at CP1/time (P < 0.001) and CPlinear (P = 0.006) but was unchanged between minute 15 and end-exercise during CP2-hyp (P = 0.762) and CP3-hyp (P = 0.569). Lactate increased significantly in the last 10, 15, and 20 minutes of the exercise for all models. No model had an increase of ≤ 1 mmol · L-1 from minute 10 to 30. These results suggest that CP2-hyp or CP3-hyp should be favoured when CP is used to assess MMSS.

description: Object of study: capacitive MEMS microphone. Subject of study: low frequency range. Purpose of work: development of a sensitive element of a capacitive low-frequency MEMS microphone for medical purposes. Most MEMS microphones are capable of high-quality signal processing in the audio frequency range (20-20000 Hz), which is not suitable for medical applications. Therefore, the development of a low-frequency MEMS microphone, which will have good electrical characteristics in the low-frequency range (0,5â20 Hz), is an urgent task. As a result of the final qualifying work, the sensitive element of a capacitive sealed MEMS microphone was developed, the membrane parameters were optimized, and the electrical characteristics were improved.

description: The strong interaction shift $ε$ and broadening Γ in pionic deuterium have been determined in a high statistics study of the πD(3p - 1s) X-ray transition using a high-resolution crystal spectrometer. The pionic deuterium shift will provide constraints for the pion-nucleon isospin scattering lengths extracted from measurements of shift and broadening in pionic hydrogen. The hadronic broadening is related to pion absorption and production at threshold. The results are ε= (-2356 {\pm} 31)meV (repulsive) and Γ1s = (1171+23/-49) meV yielding for the complex πD scattering length a = [-(24.99 {\pm} 0.33) + i (6.22+0.12/-0.26)]x10-3/mπ. From the imaginary part, the threshold parameter for pion production is obtained to be α = (251 +5/-11) μb. This allows, in addition, and by using results from pion absorption in 3He at threshold, the determination of the effective couplings g0 and g1 for s-wave pion absorption on isoscalar and isovector NN pairs.

description: H παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία πραγματεύεται μια επέμβαση στη περιοχή του βοτανικού της Αθήνας. Η Αθήνα όντας μια πόλη που δίνει ελάχιστη βαρύτητα στην πράσινη ανάπτυξή της εμπεριέχει περιοχές όπως ο βοτανικός που είναι χαρακτηριστικό παράδειγμα της παραπάνω πρότασης. Με αφορμή τη πρόταση του Δήμου Αθηνών για τη διπλή ανάπλαση της περιοχής του βοτανικού καθώς και της σημασίας της περιοχής στον πολεοδομικό ιστό της πόλης, επιλέγουμε την επέμβασή μας ως μια πράσινη αθλητική ζώνη.
Η ανάπλασή μας στην περιοχή του βοτανικού έχει σκοπό: την αναβίωση του ρέματος, την ενίσχυση του πρασίνου για την αρχή της αναβάθμισης της έως τώρα βιομηχανικής περιοχής, την ένταξη αθλητικών δραστηριοτήτων και εισαγωγή της έννοιας του αθλητικού πάρκου στην Αθήνα, και τέλος τη προσθήκη ενός κεντρικού γηπέδου ποδοσφαίρου, όπως προσδιορίζει και το σχέδιο του δήμου Αθηνών.
Η αναβίωση του ρέματος θα επάγεται στην περιοχή μελέτης και θα επεκτείνεται σε μικρό βαθμό εκτός αυτής. Το έντονο πράσινο θα δώσει αναπνοή στο γκρίζο που κυριαρχεί στην περιοχή του βοτανικού με περίπου 80% της επιφάνειας να καλύπτεται από πράσινο. Όλες οι αθλητικές δραστηριότητες θα σέβονται και θα συνεργάζονται με το φυσικό τοπίο με τη μικρότερη δυνατή αλλοίωσή του. Με αυτό το πρότυπο θα σχεδιαστεί και το γήπεδο το οποίο θα τοποθετηθεί υπόγεια για την εκμετάλλευση του εδάφους στην δομή και με επιπλέον σκοπό τη μη έκρηξη μεγάλων δομών καθ’ ύψος.

Appreciating the ethical implications of quality improvement implementation and relational safety : a qualitative study of patient/family experience

description: Improving the quality of care and reducing preventable harm to patients/families are important obligations for health care professionals and institutions. Despite quality improvement’s (QI) significant contributions to health care, interventions that involve patients at the point of care raise ethical questions about heretofore unexamined wider impacts on patients. This qualitative empirical study challenged the assumption that QI is necessarily a benign and beneficial extension of routine medical care. The research questions focused on ethical and practical implications of patient/family experiences of a pilot QI intervention that gave patients a new opportunity to improve the quality and safety of their own care. Relational inquiry and ecological systems theory framed this ethical (values-based) analysis of moral agents in context. Using interpretive description methodology, I explored two hand hygiene QI interventions on two hospital units. Over 12 months, I observed patient care and staff meetings (~140 hours), interviewed/shadowed patients (n=25), families (n=8), providers/ volunteers (n=21), other staff (n=17), and analyzed documents. Findings about patient/family experiences of the QI interventions (what I term Work-as-Experienced) showed that a multifaceted set of perceptions and behaviours occurred at once. My thematic analyses centred on the value patients/families place on positive connections with their providers and health care settings. Contextual features of implementation showed disconnects between how quality leaders imagined the QI intervention’s success, how it was operationalized, and how patients/families experienced it. In interpreting these findings, I developed a Relational Safety Framework to explain how relational connections result from interactions with others and are potentially grounded in relational safety (feeling safe and valued). When people in vulnerable, uncertain circumstances have a sense of relational safety, they move towards connections with others, fostering trust. In this study I emphasize the importance of relational connections and shared meanings of quality/safety initiatives. Furthermore, evaluation is critical to assess the impact of QI on patients’/families’ lives. I recommend a stronger appreciation of the ethical implications of QI implementation, and strengthening relational safety through adopting a relational, multi-level perspective to foster ethical conduct of QI in health care. Relational safety is a new, ethically-based, values-added strategy to advance health care system improvement.

description: The possibility of Lorentz symmetry breaking (LSB) has attracted considerable attention in recent years. Spontaneous LSB, in particular, offers the attractive prospect of the graviton as a Nambu-Golstone boson. Here we consider the question of spontaneous LSB in lattice gauge theories via formation of fermion condensates in the strong coupling and large N limits. We employ naive massless fermions in a fermionic hopping expansion in the presence of sources coupled to various condensate operators of interest. The expansion is summed in the large N limit in two equivalent ways: (i) direct summation of all leading N graphs; and (ii) construction of the corresponding large N effective action for composite operators. When sources are turned off a variety of fermionic condensates is found to persist. These include the chiral symmetry breaking condensates, thus recovering previous results, but also some LSB condensates, in particular, axial vector and rank-2 tensor condensates. Furthermore, in the presence of internal (global) symmetry groups, formation of condensates "locking" internal and external (Lorentz subgroup) symmetries is found to also become possible. Some implications and open questions are briefly discussed.

description: Εισαγωγή: Η αθλητική μάλαξη αφορά τον συστηματικό χειρισμό των μαλακών ιστών του σώματος των αθλητών, στοχεύοντας στην πρόληψη ή αποκατάσταση τραυματισμών και στην βελτίωση της απόδοσης. Εφαρμόζεται είτε πριν την αγωνιστική δράση, είτε κατά την διάρκεια του αγωνιστικού μέρους για τόνωση, είτε μετά από έντονη φυσική δραστηριότητα για αποθεραπεία. Συχνή σωματική απόκριση των αθλητών μετά την άσκηση αποτελεί η εμφάνιση DOMS και κόπωσης. Η μάλαξη είναι μια θεραπευτική πράξη που θα μπορούσε να ανακουφίσει τον αθλητή από αυτά τα συμπτώματα και να διευκολύνει την επιστροφή στην δραστηριότητά του. Προηγούμενες συστηματικές ανασκοπήσεις που βρέθηκαν είχαν αναδείξει όφελος της μάλαξης στην αποθεραπεία των αθλητών. Ωστόσο, είχαν εντάξει στον σχεδιασμό τους και παλαιάς χρονολογίας δοκιμές. Σκοπός: Σκοπός της συστηματικής ανασκόπησης που διενεργήθηκε είναι να διερευνήσει εάν η εφαρμογή μάλαξης μετά από αθλητική δραστηριότητα μπορεί να ελαττώσει την εμφάνιση του DOMS και της κόπωσης στους υγιείς αθλούμενους, χρησιμοποιώντας αποκλειστικά πρόσφατες δοκιμές. Μεθοδολογία: Η αναζήτηση της αρθρογραφίας έγινε στην βάση δεδομένων PubMed, όπου επιλέχθηκαν μόνο τυχαιοποιημένες μελέτες της τελευταίας δεκαετίας. Επιλέχθηκαν μελέτες οι οποίες εφάρμοσαν μάλαξη είτε μετά από αγώνα, είτε μετά από δοκιμασία άσκησης ικανή να προκαλέσει μυϊκή κόπωση. Απορρίφθηκαν όσες μελέτες έκαναν χρήση εργαλείων μάλαξης και όσες χρησιμοποίησαν μη υγιή πληθυσμό ως δείγμα. Οι μελέτες που εντάχθηκαν αξιολογήθηκαν ακολούθως με την κλίμακα PEDro. Αποτελέσματα: Ταυτοποιήθηκαν τελικά οκτώ μελέτες, οι οποίες ικανοποιούσαν τα κριτήρια ένταξης, με σύνολο 452 συμμετέχοντες για το DOMS. Έξι από αυτές με σύνολο 344 συμμετέχοντες ικανοποιούσαν και την παράμετρο της αντιληπτής κόπωσης. Αξιολογώντας με την κλίμακα PEDro βρέθηκε ότι μόνο τρεις από τις οκτώ μελέτες είχαν καλή μεθοδολογία και υψηλό σκορ στην αξιολόγηση. Τα αποτελέσματα εμφάνισαν ενδείξεις πως η αθλητική μάλαξη αμέσως μετά την άσκηση μπορεί να ελαττώσει τους δείκτες του DOMS σε βάθος έως και 72 ώρες και της κόπωσης μόνο για άμεσο όφελος. Συμπεράσματα: Αν και οι μελέτες παρουσίασαν ενδείξεις για ευεργετικά οφέλη, τα ερευνητικά δεδομένα δεν αρκούν για να στηρίξουν την αποτελεσματικότητα της μάλαξης στο DOMS, γιατί οι περισσότερες είχαν υποπέσει σε μεθοδολογικά σφάλματα. Συνιστάται περαιτέρω διερεύνηση μέσα από μεγαλύτερο αριθμό και υψηλότερης ποιότητας σύγχρονες μελέτες. Ιδανική είναι η μελλοντική πρόταση ενός ολοκληρωμένου πρωτοκόλλου αποθεραπείας για χρήση από την αθλητική κοινότητα. Λέξεις-κλειδιά: αθλητική μάλαξη, αποθεραπεία, DOMS, αντιληπτή κόπωση
