description: A general formalism of the problem of perfect state transfer is presented. We show that there are infinitely many Hamiltonians which may provide solution to this problem. In a first attempt to give a classification of them we investigate their possible forms and the related dynamics during the transfer. Finally, we show how the present formalism can be used for the engineering of perfect quantum wires of various topologies and coupling configurations.

description: Problème Traditionnellement, les rotations dans la région sont composées de 5 séquences de culture en 4 ans (blé tendre-orge de printemps-betterave-blé tendre-colza). Ce système est assez gourmand en azote et peut souffrir de fortes pressions adventices (comme les renouées et chénopodes, gaillet et vulpins) dont certaines sont résistantes et entraînent une forte dépendance aux herbicides. Le colza est bien adapté à cette région en raison des températures hivernales douces mais ces dernières années des ravageurs comme les larves d'altises et le charançon du bourgeon terminal sont devenus de plus en plus dommageables pour cette culture. Solution On considère qu'une rotation diversifiée de 10 ans qui incorpore des légumineuses (Figure 1) fournit des services environnementaux et permet la réduction d’intrants. Dans ce système, l'introduction d'un colza associé à des légumineuses telles que les lentilles et la féverole a permis de maintenir les rendements tout en réduisant les apports d'azote ainsi que l’IFT.

description: We investigate the motional resonances of dual-species Coulomb crystals comprised of $^9$Be$^+$ and $^{24}$Mg$^+$ ions held in a 4-rod linear Paul trap. Our experimental data and simulations show that the secular motion of such mixed crystals has rich dynamics. Their secular spectra can differ significantly from those of pure ion crystals. We propose a simple model based on mechanical coupling with Coulomb interactions between the two different ion species that explains many features of the secular spectrum. Our findings contribute to a more reliable identification of the ion species in mixed crystals.

description: We argue that an expanding quark-gluon plasma has an anomalous viscosity, which arises from interactions with dynamically generated colour fields. The anomalous viscosity dominates over the collisional viscosity for large velocity gradients or weak coupling. This effect may provide an explanation for the apparent near perfect liquidity of the matter produced in nuclear collisions at RHIC without the assumption that it is a strongly coupled state.

description: We show how current LIGO data is able to probe interesting theories beyond the Standard Model, particularly Dark Sectors where a Dark Higgs triggers symmetry breaking via a first-order phase transition. We use publicly available LIGO O2 data to illustrate how these sectors, even if disconnected from the Standard Model, can be probed by Gravitational Wave detectors. We link the LIGO measurements with the model content and mass scale of the Dark Sector, finding that current O2 data is testing a broad set of scenarios where the breaking of $SU(N)$ theories with $N_f$ fermions is triggered by a Dark Higgs at scales $Λ\simeq 10^8 - 10^9$ GeV with reasonable parameters for the scalar potential.

description: Το ανθρώπινο μικροβίωμα αποτελεί μία εξαιρετικά ενδιαφέρουσα πτυχή της ανθρώπινης υγείας, με το επιστημονικό ενδιαφέρον να αυξάνεται δραματικά τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες. Η δημιουργία του και η σύσταση του μπορεί να επηρεάζονται από μία τεράστια ποικιλία παραγόντων. Αυτοί είναι γενετικοί παράγοντες, η ηλικία, το φύλο, η εθνότητα, η διατροφή, τα σωματομετρικά χαρακτηριστικά του ατόμου αλλά και η λήψη φαρμάκων, αντιβιοτικών, καθώς και η κατανάλωση προβιοτικών και πρεβιοτικών παραγόντων. Αν και οι αρχικές μελέτες εστίαζαν στη σχέση του μικροβιώματος με διάφορες παθήσεις του γαστρεντερικού σωλήνα, όπως για παράδειγμα η ελκώδης κολίτιδα, το σύνδρομο του ευερέθιστου εντέρου και η νόσος του Crohn, καθώς και οι μεταβολικές ασθένειες όπως η παχυσαρκία και ο διαβήτης. Σήμερα, γίνεται προσπάθεια συσχέτισης με διάφορες ασθένειες από τις νευροεκφυλιστικές διαταραχές όπως η νόσος του Parkinson, η νόσος Alzheimer, μέχρι τα διάφορα είδη καρκίνου. Η κατανόηση της σύστασης και της μεταβολής του μικροβιώματος θα μπορούσε στο μέλλον να βοηθήσει στην πρόληψη, πρόγνωση, διάγνωση και αποτελεσματικότερη θεραπεία των ασθενών με τις ως άνω παθήσεις.
description: Human microbioma constitutes an extremely interesting field related to human health. Last decades, many researches have focused on this scientific field. The development and composition of gut microbiome could be affected by various factors. Genetic background, age, sex, ethnicity, diet, somatometric characteristics are some of these factors, while drugs, antibiotics, probiotics a prebiotics intake could effect on microbiome modulation, as well. In past decade, scientific studies focused on association of microbiome with gastrointestinal diseases, like ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn’s disease, nowadays, new features suggest a relation between microbiome and a variety of disorders like neurodegenerative diseases, cancer etc. Deeper knowledge on composition and modulation of microbiome could be a significant tool on prolepsis, prognosis, diagnosis and development of more effective therapeutic approaches.

description: We study convective overshooting by means of local 3D convection calculations. Using a mixing length model of the solar convection zone (CZ) as a guide, we determine the Coriolis number (Co), which is the inverse of the Rossby number, to be of the order of ten or larger at the base of the solar CZ. Therefore we perform convection calculations in the range Co = 0...10 and interpret the value of Co realised in the calculation to represent a depth in the solar CZ. In order to study the dependence on rotation, we compute the mixing length parameters alpha_T and alpha_u relating the temperature and velocity fluctuations, respectively, to the mean thermal stratification. We find that the mixing length parameters for the rapid rotation case, corresponding to the base of the solar CZ, are 3-5 times smaller than in the nonrotating case. Introducing such depth-dependent alpha into a solar structure model employing a non-local mixing length formalism results in overshooting which is approximately proportional to alpha at the base of the CZ. Although overshooting is reduced due to the reduced alpha, a discrepancy with helioseismology remains due to the steep transition to the radiative temperature gradient. In comparison to the mixing length models the transition at the base of the CZ is much gentler in the 3D models. It was suggested recently (Rempel 2004) that this discrepancy is due to the significantly larger (up to seven orders of magnitude) input energy flux in the 3D models in comparison to the Sun and solar models, and that the 3D calculations should be able to approach the mixing length regime if the input energy flux is decreased by a moderate amount. We present results from local convection calculations which support this conjecture.

Information Extraction From Co-Occurring Similar Entities

Subjects: subject: Information Retrieval (cs.IR)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Knowledge about entities and their interrelations is a crucial factor of success for tasks like question answering or text summarization. Publicly available knowledge graphs like Wikidata or DBpedia are, however, far from being complete. In this paper, we explore how information extracted from similar entities that co-occur in structures like tables or lists can help to increase the coverage of such knowledge graphs. In contrast to existing approaches, we do not focus on relationships within a listing (e.g., between two entities in a table row) but on the relationship between a listing's subject entities and the context of the listing. To that end, we propose a descriptive rule mining approach that uses distant supervision to derive rules for these relationships based on a listing's context. Extracted from a suitable data corpus, the rules can be used to extend a knowledge graph with novel entities and assertions. In our experiments we demonstrate that the approach is able to extract up to 3M novel entities and 30M additional assertions from listings in Wikipedia. We find that the extracted information is of high quality and thus suitable to extend Wikipedia-based knowledge graphs like DBpedia, YAGO, and CaLiGraph. For the case of DBpedia, this would result in an increase of covered entities by roughly 50%.

description: The present dissertation focuses on film education, and studies as an example a guide for the creation of audio-visual applications and an experimental educational application for the production of films via the internet. This application follows the principles of student-centered experiential learning and teaching and aims to familiarize students with audiovisual narration and help them understand its relationship to the daily stimuli of information and images they receive. The importance and the benefits of media literacy and especially audiovisual literacy was the motivation for the creation of this educational application that can be used in multiple teaching and learning scenarios. It can also be used for autonomous learning through the internet but also as a supportive interface with the thematic units of the school curriculum aiming at the creativity and free expression of students.

description: Using reciprocity, we investigate the breaking of time-reversal (T) symmetry due to a ferrite embedded in a flat microwave billiard. Transmission spectra of isolated single resonances are not sensitive to T-violation whereas those of pairs of nearly degenerate resonances do depend on the direction of time. For their theoretical description a scattering matrix model from nuclear physics is used. The T-violating matrix elements of the effective Hamiltonian for the microwave billiard with the embedded ferrite are determined experimentally as functions of the magnetization of the ferrite.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the intrinsic UV absorption in the central HDFS target QSO J2233-606, based on a high-resolution, high S/N (~25 -- 50) spectrum obtained with VLT/UVES. This spectrum samples the cluster of intrinsic absorption systems outflowing from the AGN at radial velocities v ~ -5000 -- -3800 km/s in the key far-UV diagnostic lines - the lithium-like CNO doublets and H I Lyman series. We fit the absorption troughs using a global model of all detected lines to solve for the independent velocity-dependent covering factors of the continuum and emission-line sources and ionic column densities. This reveals increasing covering factors in components with greater outflow velocity. Narrow substructure is revealed in the optical depth profiles, suggesting the relatively broad absorption is comprised of a series of multiple components. We perform velocity-dependent photoionization modeling, which allows a full solution to the C, N, and O abundances, as well as the velocity resolved ionization parameter and total column density. The absorbers are found to have supersolar abundances, with [C/H] and [O/H] ~0.5 -- 0.9, and [N/H] ~ 1.1 -- 1.3, consistent with enhanced nitrogen production expected from secondary nucleosynthesis processes. Independent fits to each kinematic component give consistent results for the abundances. The lowest-ionization material in each of the strong absorbers is modeled with similar ionization parameters. Components of higher-ionization (indicated by stronger O VI relative to C IV and N V) are present at velocities just redward of each low-ionization absorber. We explore the implications of these results for the kinematic-geometric-ionization structure of the outflow.

Cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses to treadmill versus water immersion to the neck exercise in elite distance runners
Creators: name: Frangolias, Despina Daisy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to compare the following: a) the cardiorespiratory responses, in elite endurance runners familiar with water immersion to the neck non—weight bearing ( WI) running, at ventilatory threshold (Tvent) and at maximal effort (ie. VO2m) for treadmill and WI running performance to exhaustion and b) the cardiorespiratory and metabolic responses to prolonged performance (42 mm.) at exercise intensities reflecting the treadmill and WI Tvent. Thirteen endurance trained runners familiar with water running completed comparable treadmill and WI VO2max tests. Oxygen consumption (V02), ventilation (ye), heart-rate (HR), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), ratings of perceived exertion ( RPE) and stride frequency (SF) were measured at Tvent and VO2max. Blood lactate [BLa] samples were obtained 30 seconds and 5 minutes post—test. Correlated t—tests revealed significantly (p<O.05) higher VO2max (59.7 vs 54.6 mlkgmin), HRmax (190 vs 175 bpm), RERmax (1.20 vs 1.10), V02 at Tvent (46.3 vs 42.8 mlkgmin1),HR at Tvent (165 vs 152 bpm) for the treadmill vs WI, respectively. Similar values were recorded for Vemax (109.0 vs 105.8 lmin), Ve at Tvent (66.4 vs 65.7 lmin), RER at Tvent (0.99 vs 0.89) and post—test [BLaJ at 30 sec (10.4 vs 9.8 mmoll) and 5 mm post—test (9.7 vs 9.2 mmoll1)for the two conditions. Wilcoxons matched pairs signed—ranks test revealed no differences in RPE at Tvent and VO2max level for the two conditions. Significantly higher SF values over time were recorded (88 vs 54 stridesmin, averaged over time) on the treadmill. The lower WI VO2max with similar peak [ BLa) and lower SF suggests that the active musculature and muscle recruitment patterns differ in WI running due to the high viscocity friction of water, and the non—weight bearing nature of WI running. During steady state exercise at treadmill and WI Tvent no differences in Ve response to exercise were noted in the treadmill and WI conditions. [BLa] response exhibited a decreasing trend over time in the WI condition both during the treadmill and WI Tvent intensity tests. Similar HR values were exhibited for exercise at WI Tvent in both conditions, confirming that the lower HR exhibited at Tvent from the WI VO2max test was related to the lower V02 at WI Tvent and not the WI condition. Significantly lower HR values were exhibited for exercise at treadmill Tvent in the WI versus the treadmill condition suggesting that HR is lower only at workloads corresponding to and above 84.8 % of WI VO2max. Results suggest that exercise in the water immersion to the neck condition affects ( reduces) HR and [BLa) response over time, with the intensity of exercise being a factor. The WI condition, however does not affect Ve and RPE responses.
A classification of the X-ray and radio states of Cyg X-3 and their long-term correlations

description: We present a detailed classification of the X-ray states of Cyg X-3 based on the spectral shape and a new classification of the radio states based on the long-term correlated behaviour of the radio and soft X-ray light curves. We find a sequence of correlations, starting with a positive correlation between the radio and soft X-ray fluxes in the hard spectral state, changing to a negative one at the transition to soft spectral states. The temporal evolution can be in either direction on that sequence, unless the source goes into a very weak radio state, from which it can return only following a major radio flare. The flare decline is via relatively bright radio states, which results in a hysteresis loop on the flux-flux diagram. We also study the hard X-ray light curve, and find its overall anticorrelation with the soft X-rays. During major radio flares, the radio flux responds exponentially to the level of a hard X-ray high-energy tail. We also specify the detailed correspondence between the radio states and the X-ray spectral states. We compare our results to those of black-hole and neutron-star binaries. Except for the effect of strong absorption and the energy of the high-energy break in the hard state, the X-ray spectral states of Cyg X-3 closely correspond to the canonical X-ray states of black-hole binaries. Also, the radio/X-ray correlation closely corresponds to that found in black-hole binaries, but it significantly differs from that in neutron-star binaries. Overall, our results strongly support the presence of a black hole in Cyg X-3.

description: We revisit the classic Susceptible-Infected-Recovered (SIR) epidemic model and one of its nonlocal variations recently developed in \cite{Guan}. We introduce several new approaches to derive exact analytical solutions in the classical situation and analyze the corresponding effective approximations in the nonlocal setting. An interesting new feature of the nonlocal models, compared with the classic SIR model, is the appearance of multiple peak solutions for the infected population. We provide several rigorous results on the existence and non-existence of peak solutions with sharp asymptotics.

description: This research was conducted to serve the purposes of a master’s thesis and consists a literature review based on a large number of studies. These studies support the important influence of environmental factors on the occurrence of various diseases, such as lung cancer, which epidemiologically is the most important form of malignancy. These factors include asbestos, radonium and, most important of all, smoking. The last, either in its active or its passive form consists the most important predisposing factor for the occurrence of lung cancer. The aforementioned information also emphasizes the importance of prevention in the confrontation of lung cancer, as the abolition of the major environmental factors can bring better results for the public health than the application of the most modern combined treatments.

description: We investigate the solution landscapes of a simplified Ericksen--Leslie (sEL) vector model for nematic liquid crystals, confined in a two-dimensional square domain with tangent boundary conditions. An efficient numerical algorithm is developed to construct the solution landscapes by utilizing the symmetry properties of the model and the domain. Since the sEL model and the reduced Landau--de Gennes (rLdG) models can be viewed as Ginzburg--Landau functionals, we systematically compute the solution landscapes of the sEL model, for different domain sizes, and compare with the solution landscapes of the corresponding rLdG models. There are many similarities, including the stable diagonal and rotated states, bifurcation behaviors, and sub-solution landscapes with low-index saddle solutions. Significant disparities also exist between the two models. The sEL vector model exhibits the stable solution $C\pm$ with interior defects, high-index "fake defects" solutions, novel tessellating solutions, and certain types of distinctive dynamical pathways. The solution landscape approach provides a comprehensive and efficient way for model comparison and is applicable to a wide range of mathematical models in physics.

description: Advanced satellite-born remote sensing instruments produce high-resolution multi-spectral data for much of the globe at a daily cadence. These datasets open up the possibility of improved understanding of cloud dynamics and feedback, which remain the biggest source of uncertainty in global climate model projections. As a step towards answering these questions, we describe an automated rotation-invariant cloud clustering (RICC) method that leverages deep learning autoencoder technology to organize cloud imagery within large datasets in an unsupervised fashion, free from assumptions about predefined classes. We describe both the design and implementation of this method and its evaluation, which uses a sequence of testing protocols to determine whether the resulting clusters: (1) are physically reasonable, (i.e., embody scientifically relevant distinctions); (2) capture information on spatial distributions, such as textures; (3) are cohesive and separable in latent space; and (4) are rotationally invariant, (i.e., insensitive to the orientation of an image). Results obtained when these evaluation protocols are applied to RICC outputs suggest that the resultant novel cloud clusters capture meaningful aspects of cloud physics, are appropriately spatially coherent, and are invariant to orientations of input images. Our results support the possibility of using an unsupervised data-driven approach for automated clustering and pattern discovery in cloud imagery.

description: We extend a previous analysis of spatial correlation functions for classical electromagnetic vector fields near a perfectly conducting boundary [PRE, vol. 73, 036604 (2006)] to the case of an isotropic semi-infinite medium with planar interface and characterized by a first-order impedance boundary condition. The analytical results are illustrated with calculations for the case of point separations in the direction perpendicular to the interface. For the incident plus reflected field, the dependence of the complex-valued and inhomogeneous spatial correlation function on the permittivity, permeability and conductivity of the medium is determined. For the refracted field, the spatial correlation is again complex-valued but homogeneous and highly sensitive to the value of the refractive index. Based on the derived dependencies, novel nonlocal measurement methods for precision characterization of electromagnetic material properties are suggested. The influence of the directionality of incidence for electromagnetic beams is investigated. Narrowing the beam width results in a slower decrease of the amplitude of the correlation function as a function of point separation. Previously obtained asymptotic results for statistically homogeneous random free fields are retrieved as special cases.

description: The solar EUV irradiance is of key importance for space weather. Most of the time, however, surrogate quantities such as EUV indices have to be used by lack of continuous and spectrally resolved measurements of the irradiance. The ability of such proxies to reproduce the irradiance from different solar atmospheric layers is usually investigated by comparing patterns of temporal correlations. We consider instead a statistical approach. The TIMED/SEE experiment, which has been continuously operating since Feb. 2002, allows for the first time to compare in a statistical manner the EUV spectral irradiance to five EUV proxies: the sunspot number, the f10.7, Ca K, and Mg II indices, and the He I equivalent width. Using multivariate statistical methods such as multidimensional scaling, we represent in a single graph the measure of relatedness between these indices and various strong spectral lines. The ability of each index to reproduce the EUV irradiance is discussed; it is shown why so few lines can be effectively reconstructed from them. All indices exhibit comparable performance, apart from the sunspot number, which is the least appropriate. No single index can satisfactorily describe both the level of variability on time scales beyond 27 days, and relative changes of irradiance on shorter time scales.

description: We study representations of Banach algebras on reflexive Banach spaces. Algebras which admit such representations which are bounded below seem to be a good generalisation of Arens regular Banach algebras; this class includes dual Banach algebras as defined by Runde, but also all group algebras, and all discrete (weakly cancellative) semigroup algebras. Such algebras also behave in a similar way to C$^*$- and W$^*$-algebras; we show that interpolation space techniques can be used in the place of GNS type arguments. We define a notion of injectivity for dual Banach algebras, and show that this is equivalent to Connes-amenability. We conclude by looking at the problem of defining a well-behaved tensor product for dual Banach algebras.

The development of a stochastic model for predicting championship squash performance
Creators: name: McGarry, James T.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Sport analysis provides objective data regarding individual or team performance in the widespread belief that the information available is applicable to a future setting. Recent matches, often against different opponents, of two competitors scheduled to meet next are frequently analyzed in some form for a priori match information. An underlying assumption is that consistency in athletic performance exists, to the extent that these analyses duly inform the coaching process in preparation for the forthcoming contest. The hypothesis of this study was that an elite player's match “profile" characterizes individual playing habits in squash and can be used to accurately predict future sport performance. The data comprised the quarter-finals through final of the men's Canadian Open Championship, 1988.The hypothesis was tested through the development and application of a stochastic Markov model for predicting future competition squash match play from past performance. The results, using two way chi-square analysis, revealed consistency in individual athletic behavior between games (and also between matches) against the same opponent (p>.25), but not between matches against different opponents (p<.25). It seems that a player's profile is dependent on the particular interaction between two individuals, and that this pattern irreproducible within this interaction. Importantly, however, the interaction is unique to the two players and not generalizable to other opponents. This suggests that additional information from the opponent is required if the model is to successfully predict future sport performance. The present model possesses no predictive validity beyond the scope of its previous observation(s), a restriction which unfortunately consigns the past to forever repeat itself. The application of the model for the identification of future optimal strategy has therefore little present utility. The attempt to model competitive sport performance is nonetheless a worthy pursuit, not least because it directs attention to the critical aspects of data which determine sport success. Further research is recommended to investigate whether an underlying order which characterizes player performance can be established. If no such individual signature can be identified in sport, the utility of commonly applying tactical strategy from previous observation(s) against different opponents must be questioned.

description: Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αναλύονται οι έννοιες των κοινών μερών της οικοδομής, οι συμφωνίες για τη θέση περιορισμών στα δικαιώματα των συνιδιοκτητών και η νομική φύση αυτών, με κύριο αντικείμενο μελέτης τη θέση στάθμευσης.Oποιοδήποτε μέρος του όλου ακινήτου, το οποίο δεν ορίσθηκε ή δεν ορίσθηκε έγκυρα, με το συστατικό της οροφοκτησίας τίτλο, ότι αποτελεί αντικείμενο της αποκλειστικής κυριότητας κάποιου συνιδιοκτήτη, υπάγεται αυτοδικαίως από το νόμο στα αντικείμενα αναγκαστικής συγκυριότητας και καθίσταται κοινόκτητο και κοινόχρηστο μέρος. Σε ό, τι αφορά την πιλοτή της οικοδομής, μολονότι αποκλείεται η σύσταση οριζόντιων ιδιοκτησιών στην πιλοτή, υπάρχει η δυνατότητα να παραχωρηθεί η αποκλειστική χρήση του χώρου της πιλοτής. Χρήσιμο και κρίσιμο είναι να ερευνηθεί, λοιπόν, εάν ο συγκεκριμένος χώρος είναι περίκλειστος, στεγασμένος ή ανοικτός. Οι ανωτέρω θέσεις στάθμευσης στην πιλοτή δεν είναι αυθύπαρκτες, αλλά έχουν χαρακτήρα παρακολουθηματικό της οριζόντιας ιδιοκτησίας (διαμερίσματος ή ορόφου) και συνεπώς δεν είναι δυνατή ούτε η αυτοτελής διάθεση αυτών ούτε η παραχώρηση της αποκλειστικής χρήσης αυτών σε τρίτο, μη ιδιοκτήτη. Κατόπιν τούτων, θεωρία και νομολογία συμφωνούν σχετικά με την ανάγκη καταχώρισης των ως άνω δικαιωμάτων στο πεδίο των πρόσθετων πληροφοριών για την αποτύπωση της συνολικής εικόνας του ακινήτου κατά το στάδιο της κτηματογράφησης και του λειτουργούντος Κτηματολογίου
description: The purpose of this research is to identify the meaning of public spaces in the block, agreements between co-owners for restriction to use public spaces and legal form, though the main study is for vehicle parking areas. Any space of the property that is not specified or not specified in valid manner, by signing a regulation for the property, that is satisfied of the competent authorities by its ownership of the property, is automatically subject to public spaces. Otherwise, even though setting up horizontal property is prohibited in the space called “pillotis”,it is possible for some co-owner (s) to use it exclusively. So, the fact if that space is enclosed, open (free) or covered requires more research. Parking areas in “pillotis” are not on their own right, but they are ancillary to horizontal property, it is therefore not intended for sale either for concession to anyone who is not a co-owner. After all, it is accepted that there is a need for registration of this right as additional information during cadastral survey or during the functioning of the land registry, in order to obtain as clear and complete a picture of property
Joint reality and Bell inequalities for consecutive measurements

description: Some new Bell inequalities for consecutive measurements are deduced under joint realism assumption, using some perfect correlation property. No locality condition is needed. When the measured system is a macroscopic system, joint realism assumption substitutes the non-invasive hypothesis advantageously, provided that the system satisfies the perfect correlation property. The new inequalities are violated quantically. This violation can be expected to be more severe than in the case of precedent temporal Bell inequalities. Some microscopic and mesoscopic situations, in which the new inequalities could be tested, are roughly considered.

description: Εδώ και αιώνες, η κοινωνία αντιμετωπίζει επιφυλακτικά τα άτομα με αναπηρία. Ειδικότερα, την εποχή της Παλαιάς Διαθήκης, η αναπηρία ήταν συνώνυμο της αμαρτίας και της ασθένειας και τα ανάπηρα άτομα βίωναν την κοινωνική προκατάληψη και τον κοινωνικό αποκλεισμό. Όμως, στην Καινή Διαθήκη τα πράγματα αλλάζουν. Ο Ιησούς Χριστός σπάει τα στερεότυπα και τις προκαταλήψεις και φέρεται στα άτομα με αναπηρία με αγάπη και σεβασμό. Η παρούσα εργασία στοχεύει να μελετήσει τις όψεις του κοινωνικού αποκλεισμού των ατόμων με αναπηρία στη διάρκεια των αιώνων και να υπογραμμίσει την επίδραση της Καινής Διαθήκης στην ειδική αγωγή και εκπαίδευση
description: For centuries, society deals with disabled people in a cautious way. Specifically, the era of the Old Testament, disability was synonym with sin and disease and the disabled people experienced the social prejudice and the social exclusion. However, in New Testament things are changing. Jesus Christ breaks the stereotypes and the prejudice and behaves the disabled with love and respect. This paper aims to study the aspects of social exclusion of disabled people during the centuries and also the effect of New Testament in special education
