description: Το κείμενο της διπλωματικής εργασίας συνενώνει τις προσεγγίσεις δύο εγκλημάτων κατά της προσωπικής ελευθερίας. Πρώτα, του πλημμελήματος της παράνομης κατακράτησης, δεύτερο το πλημμέλημα της παρακράτησης παρά το Σύνταγμα. Η αναλυτική προσέγγιση αρχίζει με την εισαγωγή και την αναδρομική επισκόπηση των ιστορικών ριζών των αντίστοιχων διατάξεων του Ποινικού Κώδικα (325 & 326ΠΚ). Η χωριστή ανάλυση της καθεμιάς διάταξης εστιάζει στα στοιχεία της αντικειμενικής υπόστασης, της υποκειμενικής υπόστασης και της ποινής. Ειδικά θέματα που συζητούνται είναι οι λόγοι άρσης του άδικου χαρακτήρα, όπως η προσταγή ανωτέρου, οι λόγοι άρσης του καταλογισμού, τα ζητήματα απόπειρας και συμμετοχής. Άλλο εξεταζόμενο θέμα είναι οι διαμορφώσεις της ποινής ιδίως σε περίπτωση συρροής εγκλημάτων, τα δικονομικά ζητήματα που προκύπτουν κατά την εφαρμογή επίσης αναλύονται. Σε παράρτημα ο αναγνώστης μπορεί να βρει βιβλιογραφία και ενδιαφέρουσες δικαστικές αποφάσεις.
description: The text brings together the approaches of two offenses against the personal freedom: first, the misdemeanor of illegal detainment, second the misdemeanor of the violation of constitutional guaranties of freedom. This detailed approach begins with the introduction and the retrospective viewing of historical tools of both the responding dispositions of the Greek Penal Code (articles 325 & 326). The separate analysis of each disposition focuses on the elements of actus relis of mens rea and of penalties. Special discussed issues are the justification causes, such as acting after the order of superior officials, grounds of excuse, types of criminal attempt of the offences and special participation forms. Another discussed topic concern the formulation of the sentence and penalty in the case of concurrence of more offenses. Procedural aspects, frequently emerging in the phase of application of law are also unfolded. In annex the reader can find bibliography and an index of judicial cases.
The Adulteress in Nineteenth-Century American Fiction and Culture

description: In mid-nineteenth century America, the adulteress became a significant literary and cultural figure, one which was linked to some of the most hotly debated issues of the period: public womanhood, the separation of gendered spheres, female sexuality, woman's rights and anxieties about immigration. 'The Adulteress in Nineteenth-Century American Fiction and Culture" offers a feminist and historical reading of the figure of female adultery in works by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Marfa Amparo Ruiz de Burton. In order to support my analysis, I have studied an array of cultural materials from the nineteenth-century, such as transcripts of landmark trials, anti-suffrage literature, sermons and conduct books. In chapter one, I examine sensational cases of white female adultery, exploring both the legal history of adultery and the contemporary rhetoric of ideal womanhood--necessary contexts for understanding the fictional portrayals of the adulteress. In chapter two, I analyze anti­suffrage literature in which the woman's vote is equated wjth a wild and adulterous sexual desire that contradicts the dominant construction of womanhood and, thus, threatens the stability of American society. In chapter three, I argue that the opening scaffold scene of The Scarlet Letter (1850) presents Hester Prynne simultaneously as a seventeenth-century criminal and as a nineteenth-century ''public woman," a recognizable type associated wjth the critique of women's sphere and sexual promiscuity. In the novel, Hawthorne aligns Hester with Anne Hutchinson, the renowned female public speaker of colonial America, making them both, figuratively speaking, the transgressive foremothers of notorious women like Frances Wright, a well-publicized female orator in nineteenth-century America. During the nineteenth-century, the composition of America was rapidly changing. As poor immigrants came to the coasts in search of work and settlers confronted the "foreign" citizens of the Mexican territories, race and class prejudices were exacerbated. In chapters four and five, I juxtapose Stowe's didactic depiction of the adulteress as an indication of the foreign contamination of American morals in Pink and White Tvranny (1870) wjth Ruiz de Burton's satirical portrayal of the adulteress as an expression of the nation's inherent immorality in Who Would Have Thought It? (1872).

A four-dimensional toric code with non-Clifford transversal gates

description: The design of a four-dimensional toric code is explored with the goal of finding a lattice capable of implementing a logical $\mathsf{CCCZ}$ gate transversally. The established lattice is the octaplex tessellation, which is a regular tessellation of four-dimensional Euclidean space whose underlying 4-cell is the octaplex, or hyper-diamond. This differs from the conventional 4D toric code lattice, based on the hypercubic tessellation, which is symmetric with respect to logical $X$ and $Z$ and only allows for the implementation of a transversal Clifford gate. This work further develops the established connection between topological dimension and transversal gates in the Clifford hierarchy, generalizing the known designs for the implementation of transversal $\mathsf{CZ}$ and $\mathsf{CCZ}$ in two and three dimensions, respectively.

Identification and characterization of a unique subpopulation of double negative splenic T cells which express the [alpha beta] T cell receptor
Creators: name: Ingram, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A unique class of T lymphocytes has been identified in the spleen of normal mice. This splenic T cell population, which expresses the αβ TCR associated with the CD3 complex yet lacks the CD4 and CD8 coreceptor molecules, constitutes approximately 0.1-0.3% of total nucleated cells and 17- 22% of CD4[sup]- CD8[sup]- HSA[sup]- Mac-1[sup]- cells in the normal murine spleen. Phenotypic analysis of splenic TCR αβ[sup]+ CD4[sup]- CD8[sup]- HSA[sup]- Mac-1[sup]- (DNαβT) cells demonstrated the expression of Lyt-1, Pgp-1, ICAM-1 and the transferrin receptor whereas minimal to no B220 or YE1/19 expression was observed. Amongst splenic DNαβT cells there is a higher frequency of V[sub]β8 usage in comparison with mature SP T cells. Similar to TCR αβ[sup]+ DN thymocytes, splenic DNαβT cells proliferate in the presence of IL-7 and this response is enhanced by the addition of IL-1. CD4[sup]+ and CD8[sup]+ SP T cells, in contrast do not respond to IL-7 alone or in combination with IL-1. Splenic DNαβT cells are considered to be mature based on the expression of the heat stable antigen. Furthermore, this splenic T cell subpopulation expresses a functional T cell receptor as suggested by their responsiveness to crosslinking of the TCR associated CD3 complex which is comparable to that of mature SP T cells. In contrast, splenic TCR γδ[sup]+ DN T cells were nonresponsive to anti-CD3 crosslinking despite the expression of the TCR/CD3 complex. The addition of IL-1, however, appeared to restore the responsiveness of TCR γδ[sup]+ DN towards the activation of the TCR/CD3 complex. The functional maturity of the splenic DNαβT cell population was confirmed by their ability to express cytokine specific mRNA. DNαβT cells constitutively express IFN[sub]γ message whereas IL-4 mRNA was induced by crosslinking of the TCR associated CD3 complex. SP T cells, in contrast, express messages for IFN[sub]γ and IL-4 as well as IL-2 only in response to anti-CD3 crosslinking. The above results support the hypothesis that splenic DNαβT cells represent a unique class of mature T cells which are related to the phenotypically similar cells found in the thymus yet are distinct from the classical type of mature T cell which expresses the SP phenotype.

description: The h-index (Hirsch, 2005) is robust, remaining relatively unaffected by errors in the long tails of the citations-rank distribution, such as typographic errors that short-change frequently-cited papers and create bogus additional records. This robustness, and the ease with which h-indices can be verified, support the use of a Hirsch-type index over alternatives such as the journal impact factor. These merits of the h-index apply to both individuals and to journals.

In the transport regime, the entanglement exhibits a clear switching threshold and various limits due to suppression of tunneling by Quantum Zeno localisation or by an interaction induced energy gap. We also calculate quantum noise spectra and discuss the inter-dot current correlation as an indicator of the entanglement in transport experiments.

description: We study the bulk mass effects on the electroweak phase transition at finite temperature in a five dimensional SU(3) gauge-Higgs unification model on an orbifold. We investigate whether the Higgs mass satisfying the experimental lower bound can be compatible with the strong first order phase transition necessary for a successful electroweak baryogenesis. Our numerical results show that the above statement can be realized by matter with bulk mass yielding a viable Higgs mass. We also find an interesting case where the heavier Higgs gives the stronger first order phase transition.

On the strength of dependent products in the type theory of Martin-Löf
Creators: name: Garner, Richard
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Logic (math.LO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: 03B15

description: One may formulate the dependent product types of Martin-Löf type theory either in terms of abstraction and application operators like those for the lambda-calculus; or in terms of introduction and elimination rules like those for the other constructors of type theory. It is known that the latter rules are at least as strong as the former: we show that they are in fact strictly stronger. We also show, in the presence of the identity types, that the elimination rule for dependent products--which is a "higher-order" inference rule in the sense of Schroeder-Heister--can be reformulated in a first-order manner. Finally, we consider the principle of function extensionality in type theory, which asserts that two elements of a dependent product type which are pointwise propositionally equal, are themselves propositionally equal. We demonstrate that the usual formulation of this principle fails to verify a number of very natural propositional equalities; and suggest an alternative formulation which rectifies this deficiency.

description: We study a fast-slow version of an SIRS epidemiological model on homogeneous graphs, obtained through the application of the moment closure method. We use GSPT to study the model, taking into account that the infection period is much shorter than the average duration of immunity. We show that the dynamics occurs through a sequence of fast and slow flows, that can be described through 2-dimensional maps that, under some assumptions, can be approximated as 1-dimensional maps. Using this method, together with numerical bifurcation tools, we show that the model can give rise to periodic solutions, differently from the corresponding model based on homogeneous mixing.

Decaying Orbit of the Hot Jupiter WASP-12b: Confirmation with TESS Observations

description: Theory suggests that the orbits of some close-in giant planets should decay due to tidal interactions with their host stars. To date, WASP-12b is the only hot Jupiter reported to have a decaying orbit, at a rate of 29$\pm$2 msec year$^{-1}$. We analyzed data from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) to verify that WASP-12b's orbit is indeed changing. We find that the TESS transit and occultation data are consistent with a decaying orbit with an updated period of 1.091420090$\pm$0.000000041 days and a decay rate of 32.53$\pm$1.62 msec year$^{-1}$. We find an orbital decay timescale of $τ$ = P/$|\dot P|$ = 2.90$\pm$0.14 Myr. If the observed decay results from tidal dissipation, the modified tidal quality factor is Q'$_{\star}$ = 1.39$\pm$0.15 $\times 10^{5}$, which falls at the lower end of values derived for binary star systems and hot Jupiters. Our result highlights the power of space-based photometry for investigating the orbital evolution of short-period exoplanets.

description: The following paper proposes a new target localization system design using an architecture based on reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs) and passive radars (PRs) for integrated sensing and communications systems. The preamble of the communication signal is exploited in order to perform target sensing tasks, which involve detection and localization. The RIS in this case can aid the PR in sensing targets that are otherwise not seen by the PR itself, due to the many obstacles encountered within the propagation channel. Therefore, this work proposes a localization algorithm tailored for the integrated sensing and communications RIS-aided architecture, which is capable of uniquely positioning targets within the scene. The algorithm is capable of detecting the number of targets along with estimating the position of targets via angles and times of arrival. Our simulation results demonstrate the performance of the localization method in terms of different localization and detection metrics and for increasing RIS sizes.

description: Recent advances in realizing optical frequency combs using nonlinear parametric processes in integrated photonic resonators have revolutionized on-chip optical clocks, spectroscopy, and multi-channel optical communications. At the same time, the introduction of topological physics in photonic systems has provided a new paradigm to engineer the flow of photons, and thereby, design photonic devices with novel functionalities and inherent robustness against fabrication disorders. Here, we use topological design principles to theoretically propose the generation of optical frequency combs and temporal Kerr solitons in a two-dimensional array of coupled ring resonators that creates a synthetic magnetic field for photons and exhibits topological edge states. We show that these topological edge states constitute a traveling-wave super-ring resonator that leads to the generation of coherent nested optical frequency combs, and self-formation of nested temporal solitons and Turing rolls that are remarkably phase-locked over >40 rings. In the nested soliton regime, our system operates as a pulsed optical frequency comb and achieves a mode efficiency of >50%, an order of magnitude higher than single ring frequency combs that are theoretically limited to only ~5%. Furthermore, we show that the topological nested solitons are robust against defects in the lattice. This topological frequency comb works in a parameter regime that can be readily accessed using existing low loss integrated photonic platforms like silicon-nitride. Our results could pave the way for efficient on-chip optical frequency combs, and investigations of various other soliton solutions in conjunction with synthetic gauge fields and topological phenomena in large arrays of coupled resonators.

description: We investigate the universal properties of quantum transport in graphene nanowires that engender subtle universal conductance fluctuations. We present results for three of the main microscopic models that describe the sublattice of graphene and generate, as we shall show, all the chiral universal symmetries. The results are robust and demonstrate the widely sought sign of chirality even in the regime of many open channels. The fingerprints paves the way to distinguish systems with sublattice symmetry such as topological insulators from ordinary ones by an order of magnitude. The experimental realization requires a single measurement of the chaotic fluctuations of the associated valleytronics conductante. Through the phase coherence length, our theoretical predictions are confirmed with the data from traditional measurements in the literature concerning quantum magnetotransport.

description: In this diploma thesis, the "Original Sequential Scheduling Algorithm" is presented which was first introduced in the paper "Design and Performance Analysis of Scheduling Algorithms for WDM-PON Under SUCCESS-HPON Architecture" των Kyeong Soo Kim, David Gutierrez, Fu-Tai An και Leonid G. Kazovsky [1]. It is used in WDM-PON networks which are following the aCCESS-Hybrid PON (SUCESS HPON) architecture of Harvard University for the next generation hybrid WDM/TDM optical networks. In PON networks, an optical terminal (OLT) uses tunable transmitters and receivers that are shared by all the Optical Network Units (ONUs) served by the OLT in the network. To provide efficient bidirectional communications between the OLT and the ONUs, an algorithm is used to keep track of the status of all shared resources (tunable transmitters, tunable receivers and wavelengths assigned to ONUs) and arranges them properly in both time and wavelength domains to avoid any conflicts among them for both upstream and downstream traffic. The algorithm is written in Java programming language and it's performance was measured for 10 and 16 node networks with different loads of packets. The results are compared and presented.

description: Macroglossia is defined as an abnormally enlarged tongue. Macroglossia does not represent a specific nosologic entity, but a clinical condition of various aetiology and pathogenesis. The assessment of macroglossia is based upon the subjective valuation of the clinical physician including the possibility of mistaken diagnosis. Macroglossia is divided into true and false or relative known as pseudomacroglossia. Pseudomacroglossia exists when the oral cavity is extremely narrow but the volume of the tongue remains normal. True macroglossia may be due to subjacent systemic disease or syndrome, proliferative processes, or idiopathic muscular hypertrophy. The therapy of macroglossia may be pharmaceutical, targeting to the rehabilitation of the subjacent systemic disease, or surgical or/ and orthodontic management. The purpose of the present retrospective clinical study was a) the valuation of the cases manifesting macroglossia considering the aetiology, the clinical appearance and the outcome of the therapeutic treatment when it was applied, and b) the study of the potentiality for objective diagnosis of macroglossia.

description: The Spitzer-COSMOS survey (S-COSMOS) is a Legacy program (Cycles 2+3) designed to carry out a uniform deep survey of the full 2 sq deg COSMOS field in all seven Spitzer bands (3.6, 4.5, 5.6, 8.0, 24.0, 70.0, 160.0 u). This paper describes the survey parameters, mapping strategy, data reduction procedures, achieved sensitivities to date, and the complete data set for future reference. We show that the observed infrared backgrounds in the S-COSMOS field are within 10% of the predicted background levels. The fluctuations in the background at 24u have been measured and do not show any significant contribution from cirrus, as expected. In addition, we report on the number of asteroid detections in the low galactic latitude COSMOS field. We use the Cycle 2 S-COSMOS data to determine preliminary number counts, and compare our results with those from previous Spitzer Legacy surveys (e.g. SWIRE, GOODS). The results from this "first analysis" confirm that the S-COSMOS survey will have sufficient sensitivity with IRAC to detect ~ L* disks and spheroids out to z ~ 3, and with MIPS to detect ultraluminous starbursts and AGN out to z ~3 at 24u and out to z ~1.5-2 at 70u and 160u.

All one-loop graphs are considered at arbitrary momentum transfer and all octet and decuplet baryons are included in the intermediate states. Finite range regularisation is applied to improve the convergence in the quark-mass expansion. At each value of the momentum transfer ($Q^2$), a separate extrapolation to the physical pion mass is carried out as a function of $m_π$ alone. Because of the large values of $Q^2$ involved, the role of the pion form factor in the standard pion-loop integrals is also investigated. The resulting values of the form factors at the physical pion mass are compared with experimental data as a function of $Q^2$ and demonstrate the utility and accuracy of the chiral extrapolation methods presented herein.

description: The nonequilibrium free energy theorems show how distributions of work along nonequilibrium paths are related to free energy differences between the equilibrium states at the end points of these paths. In this paper we develop a natural way of barostatting a system and give the first deterministic derivation of the Crooks and Jarzynski relations for these isothermal isobaric systems. We illustrate these relations by applying them to molecular dynamics simulations of a model polymer undergoing stretching.

description: Regression analysis is a powerful statistical tool that enables organizations to understand and predict the relationships between various operational factors and sustainability metrics such as energy usage and carbon emissions. This article explores the application of regression analysis in sustainability, focusing on two key areas: optimizing energy consumption and predicting carbon emissions in supply chain operations. Using real-world examples from manufacturing and the fashion industry, the article demonstrates how regression models can identify significant drivers of energy use and emissions, offering actionable insights for operational improvements. The findings highlight the importance of data-driven decision-making in reducing environmental footprints, optimizing resource usage, and achieving sustainability goals. By leveraging regression analysis, companies can make informed choices that promote efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance their environmental responsibility.

description: Symbolic Music Alignment is the process of matching performed MIDI notes to corresponding score notes. In this paper, we introduce a reinforcement learning (RL)-based online symbolic music alignment technique. The RL agent - an attention-based neural network - iteratively estimates the current score position from local score and performance contexts. For this symbolic alignment task, environment states can be sampled exhaustively and the reward is dense, rendering a formulation as a simplified offline RL problem straightforward. We evaluate the trained agent in three ways. First, in its capacity to identify correct score positions for sampled test contexts; second, as the core technique of a complete algorithm for symbolic online note-wise alignment; and finally, as a real-time symbolic score follower. We further investigate the pitch-based score and performance representations used as the agent's inputs. To this end, we develop a second model, a two-step Dynamic Time Warping (DTW)-based offline alignment algorithm leveraging the same input representation. The proposed model outperforms a state-of-the-art reference model of offline symbolic music alignment.

description: We analyse a robust sample of 30 near-infrared-faint (K>25.3, 5 sigma) submillimetre galaxies selected across a 0.96 deg^2 field, to investigate their properties and the cause of their lack of detectable optical/near-infrared emission. Our analysis exploits precise identifications based on ALMA 870um continuum imaging, combined with the very deep near-infrared imaging from the UKIDSS-UDS survey. We estimate that K>25.3 submillimetre galaxies represent 15+/-2 per cent of the total population brighter than S870=3.6mJy, with an expected surface density of ~450/deg^2 above S870>1mJy. As such they pose a source of contamination in surveys for both high-redshift "quiescent" galaxies and very-high-redshift Lyman-break galaxies. We show that these K-faint submillimetre galaxies are simply the tail of the broader submillimetre population, with comparable dust and stellar masses to K<25.3 mag submillimetre galaxies, but lying at significantly higher redshifts (z=3.44+/-0.06 versus z=2.36+/-0.11) and having higher dust attenuation (Av=5.2+/-0.3 versus Av=2.9+/-0.1). We investigate the origin of the strong dust attenuation and find indications that these K-faint galaxies have smaller dust continuum sizes than the K<25.3 galaxies, as measured by ALMA, which suggests their high attenuation is related to their compact sizes. We find a correlation of dust attenuation with star-formation rate surface density (Sigma_SFR), with the K-faint submillimetre galaxies representing the higher-Sigma_SFR and highest-Av galaxies. The concentrated, intense star-formation activity in these systems is likely to be associated with the formation of spheroids in compact galaxies at high redshifts, but as a result of their high obscuration these are completely missed in UV, optical and even near-infrared surveys.

description: Simulations, along with other similar applications like virtual worlds and video games, require computational models of intelligence that generate realistic and credible behavior for the participating synthetic characters. Cognitive architectures, which are models of the fixed structure underlying intelligent behavior in both natural and artificial systems, provide a conceptually valid common basis, as evidenced by the current efforts towards a standard model of the mind, to generate human-like intelligent behavior for these synthetic characters. Sigma is a cognitive architecture and system that strives to combine what has been learned from four decades of independent work on symbolic cognitive architectures, probabilistic graphical models, and more recently neural models, under its graphical architecture hypothesis. Sigma leverages an extended form of factor graphs towards a uniform grand unification of not only traditional cognitive capabilities but also key non-cognitive aspects, creating unique opportunities for the construction of new kinds of cognitive models that possess a Theory-of-Mind and that are perceptual, autonomous, interactive, affective, and adaptive. In this paper, we will introduce Sigma along with its diverse capabilities and then use three distinct proof-of-concept Sigma models to highlight combinations of these capabilities: (1) Distributional reinforcement learning models in; (2) A pair of adaptive and interactive agent models that demonstrate rule-based, probabilistic, and social reasoning; and (3) A knowledge-free exploration model in which an agent leverages only architectural appraisal variables, namely attention and curiosity, to locate an item while building up a map in a Unity environment.

description: Στόχος της Διδακτορικής Διατριβής είναι η ανάπτυξη μιας νέας μεθοδολογίας σχεδιασμού εξωτερικών κόμβων δοκών-υποστυλωμάτων από Ο.Σ. η οποία βασίζεται στην ύπαρξη ενός μηχανισμού αντίστασης, αυτή του διαγώνιου θλιπτήρα, για την παραλαβή και μεταφορά των δυνάμεων μέσα στον κόμβο. Για το σκοπό αυτό πραγματοποιήθηκαν δυο σειρές πειραμάτων σε στοιχεία εξωτερικών κόμβων από Ο.Σ. φυσικής κλίμακας υπό τη δράση στατικής -μονότονης και ανακυκλιζόμενης- φόρτισης. Μέσω της πρώτης σειράς πειραμάτων διερευνήθηκε η εγκυρότητα των κανονιστικών διατάξεων για το σχεδιασμό εξωτερικών κόμβων και από τα αποτελέσματα των πειραμάτων κρίθηκε αναγκαία η ανάπτυξη μιας νέας μεθοδολογίας σχεδιασμού. Στη δεύτερη σειρά πειραμάτων διερευνήθηκε η εγκυρότητα της προτεινόμενης μεθοδολογίας σχεδιασμού και στη συνέχεια τα αποτελέαματα της διερεύνησης αυτής επιβεβαιώθηκαν μέσω μιας συγκριτικής μελέτης των προβλέψεων της προτεινόμενης μεθόδου με δημοσιευμένα πειραματικά αποτελέσματα που προέκυψαν από δοκιμές άλλων ερευνητών σε ένα ευρύ φάσμα δοκιμίων εξωτερικών κόμβων υπό ανακυκλιζόμενη φόρτιση.
description: The main scope of this thesis is the development of a new method for the seismic design of external beam-column joints by considering that the load transferred from the linear elements to the joint is predominantly resisted by a diagonal strut mechanism. For this purpose two test series are carried out on full-size beam column joint sub-assemblages which are subjected to cyclic loading. The first test series is concerned with the investigation of the validity of the current code provisions for the earthquake design of RC external beam-column joints; from the results obtained, it became clear that there is an urgent need for the development of a new method for the earthquake-resistance design of RC external beam-column joints. The second test series investigates the validity of the proposed method, with further evidence for the verification of the proposed design method being obtained from a comparative study of the method’s predictions with already published experimental information on the behaviour of a wide range of exterior beam-column joints sub-assemblanges under cyclic loadin
Problems of labour markets: East European economies in transition
Creators: name: Ivanov, Sergei Leonid
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The main objective of the present study is to examine the role of labour markets in East European economic transition and the current labour market situation in different countries with a particular focus on the links between labour markets and the task of macroeconomic restructuring. The principal questions posed are, briefly: what is the role of labour markets in helping to ensure success for economic transformation?, what are the current problems threatening the success of the reforms?, and, finally, what are the goals and mechanisms of labour market transition?" The study is confined to the macro level and does not focus on the level of the region and/or enterprise. In dealing with the problems of goals and mechanisms, the study is policy-oriented. Methodologically the study sees the transitional development of labour markets in East European countries as a triply-influenced process. First, labour markets have inherited a number of features from pre-transitional economic and political systems. Second, broad economic policy pursued by the present governments undoubtedly shapes both current labour market issues and the scope of active employment measures to be implemented. Finally, changes within the labour force itself induced by the systemic changes are important. The methodological approach of analyzing East European labour markets development as a triply-influenced process is closely linked to the main research questions above. The link is provided by the two crucial issues which are examined throughout the thesis: the degree of labour market restructuring to be expected, and the origins and scale of East European unemployment. Part I of the thesis deals with introductory issues and provides some theoretical and empirical insights into economic transition in Eastern Europe. Part II analyzes the theory and practice of labour markets under central planning. Part III is devoted to structural problems of East European labour market transitions and offers some new methodological approaches and working hypotheses. Part IV offers an overview of labour issues in growth and development thought. Finally, Part V deals with transitional issues of East European labour markets.

description: We define functorial isomorphisms of parallel transport along etale paths for a class of G-principal bundles on a p-adic curve where G is a connected reductive algebraic group of finite presentation. This class consists of all principal bundles with potentially strongly semistable reduction of degree zero. In particular, this construction gives us a continous functor from the etale fundamental grupoid of the given curve to the category of topological spaces with a simply transitive continous right G(\mathbb{C}_{p})-action for every such principal bundle. This generalizes the construction of functorial isomorphisms of parallel tranport for a certain class of vector bundles on a p-adic curve by Deninger and Werner and it may be viewed as a partial p-adic analogue of the classical theory by Ramanathan of principal bundles on compact Riemann surfaces which again generalizes the classical Narasimham-Seshadri theory of vector bundles on compact Riemann surfaces.
