description: Στο πλαίσιο αυτής της διατριβής αναπτύσσονται βασικοί άξονες γύρω από το κοινωνικό φύλο, τη συλλογική δράση και τη θέση του σώματος στην διαμαρυρία και την πολιτική από τα κάτω. Κεντρικός άξονας αυτής της διατριβής είναι η θέση του γυμνού γυναικείου σώματος στον δημόσιο χώρο και Λόγο και η χρήση του ως εργαλείο στην φεμινιστική δράση και τα σύγχρονα διακευβεύματα του φεμινισμού. Στο πρώτο μέρος της έρευνας παρουσιάζεται η βιβλιογραφική επισκόπηση της οργάνωσης FEMEN και των βασικών διακυβευμάτων της, όπως και ο ρόλος του σώματος (τους) στον δημόσιο χώρο, η στάση τους απένατι στην θρησκεία, στην πορνεία, στην πολιτική, στον σεξτρεμισμό και στον τρόπο που επιλέγουν να επιτελέσουν το φύλο τους σε δύο χώρους, στον δημόσιο χώρο και στον χώρο των ΜΜΕ. Στο δεύτερο μέρος αποτυπώνονται οι απόψεις ελληνικών φεμινιστικών οργανώσεων, δράσεων και συλλογικοτήτων γύρω από την συμμετοχή των ελληνίδων στην φεμινιστική δράση, τη συμβολή των social media στην πολιτική συμμετοχή, τις προοπτικές της υιοθέτησης του σώματος ως πολιτικό εργαλείο, τις αντιλήψεις για τις FEMEN και τις πιθανότητες υιοθέτησης αντίστοιχων δράσεων στον ελληνικό χώρο. Ειδικότερα αναδύονται οι αγκυλώσεις που περιορίζουν το γυναικείο σώμα στον δημόσιο χώρο και παρουσιάζονται οι λόγοι εκείνοι που καθιστούν την παρουσία των FEMEN στην ελληνική κοινωνία αδύνατη, εφόσον το γυμνό γυναικείο σώμα εξακολουθεί να λειτουργεί ως ταμπού, εγείροντας απαγορεύσεις, προκλήσεις και ερωτήματα.
description: In the framework of this dissertation, main axes are developed around gender, collective action and the position of the body in protest and politics from below. The central axis of this dissertation is the position of the naked female body in the public space and the Discourses and its use as a tool in feminist action and the modern remakes of feminism. The first part of the research presents the bibliographic overview of the FEMEN organization and its main stakes as well as the role of (their) body in public space, their attitude towards religion, prostitution, politics, sectarianism and the way they choose to perform their gender in two places, in the public space and in the space of the media. The second part reflects the views of Greek feminist organizations, actions and collectives on the participation of Greek women in feminist action, the contribution of social media to political participation, the prospects of adopting the body as a political tool, perceptions of FEMEN and possibilities of adoption of corresponding actions in Greece. The special anchorages that restrict the female body in public emerge and the reasons that make the presence of FEMEN in Greek society impossible are presented, since the naked female body functions as a taboo, raising prohibitions, challenges and questions.

description: This paper examined whether a two-year change in fitness, body mass index (BMI) or the additive effect of change in fitness and BMI were associated with change in cardiometabolic risk factors among youth. Cardiometabolic risk factors, BMI group (normal weight, overweight or obese) were obtained from participants at the start of 6th grade and end of 8th grade. Shuttle run laps were assessed and categorized in quintiles at both time points. Regression models were used to examine whether changes in obesity, fitness or the additive effect of change in BMI and fitness were associated with change in risk factors. There was strong evidence (p < .001) that change in BMI was associated with change in cardiometabolic risk factors. There was weaker evidence of a fitness effect, with some evidence that change in fitness was associated with change in total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C and clustered risk score among boys, as well as HDL-C among girls. Male HDL-C was the only model for which there was some evidence of a BMI, fitness and additive BMI*fitness effect. Changing body mass is central to the reduction of youth cardiometabolic risk. Fitness effects were negligible once change in body mass had been taken into account.

description: A sample of 111 Fermi blazars each with a well-established radio core luminosity, broad-line luminosity, bolometric luminosity and black hole mass has been compiled from the literatures.We present a significant correlation between radio core and broad-line emission luminosities that supports a close link between accretion processes and relativistic jets. Analysis reveals a relationship of $\rm{LogL_{BLR}\sim(0.81\pm0.06)LogL_{R}^{C}}$ which is consistant with theoretical predicted coefficient and supports that blazar jets are powered by energy extraction from a rapidly spinning Kerr black hole through the magnetic field provided by the accretion disk. Through studying the correlation between the intrinsic bolometric luminosity and the black hole mass, we find a relationship of $\rm{{Log}\frac{L_{in}}{L_{\odot}}=(0.95\pm0.26){Log}\frac{M}{M_{\odot}}+(3.53\pm2.24)}$ which supports mass-luminosity relation for Fermi blazars derived in this work is a powerlaw relation similar to that for main-sequence stars. Finally, evolutionary sequence of blazars is discussed.

description: Reports suggest children with high aerobic fitness (VO2max; mL/kg/min) have healthier profiles of TNF-α and IL-6; however, research has not accounted for differences in adiposity between high-fit and low-fit individuals. Thus, this study examined differences in inflammatory markers of obese and normal weight children of different fitness levels, using two different VO2max units: per unit of fat free mass (VO2FFM) or total body mass (VO2kg). Children (n = 124; ages 8–12) were divided into four matched groups; normal weight high-fit (NH), normal weight low-fit (NL), obese high-fit (OH), and obese low-fit (OL). Height, weight, skinfolds, body mass index (BMI), and predicted VO2max were measured and a morning, fasting blood sample taken. IL-6 was elevated in the NL and OL groups compared with the NH group, as well as the OL group compared with the OH group. No differences were found in TNF-α. The relationship between IL-6 or TNF-α and the two units of predicted VO2max did not differ suggesting that either VO2FFM or VO2kg can be used to describe aerobic power when studying inflammation and exercise in youth. The relationship between IL-6 or TNF-α and predicted VO2max, whether expressed per mass or per fat-free mass was similar, suggesting that both can be used to describe aerobic power when studying inflammation and exercise in youth. Given the polar design of this study, this relationship should be confirmed including overweight subjects.

description: This paper provides a review of the literature on the nervous system involvement incurred by children and adolescents with chronic kidney disease (CKD), with a particular focus on neuropsychological functioning. In addition to an historical overview of earlier literature, published studies from the past 14 years that address both central and peripheral nervous system function in children with CKD are reviewed (1990–2003). These studies span work in neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and neuropsychology. A key focus for this review is on variables that might affect neurodevelopmental status in these children. The paper concludes with suggestions for achieving progress in the understanding of this complication of kidney disease in children.

description: The purpose of the study was to explore associations between neurocognitive function and chronic kidney disease (CKD)-related clinical characteristics. Twenty-nine children, ages 7 to 19years, with an estimated creatinine clearance (eCrCl) of 4–89ml/min per 1.73m2 body surface area were enrolled. Intellectual function (IQ), memory, and attention were measured and expressed as age-based standard scores. Clinical data were obtained by physical examination, laboratory testing, parental questionnaires and medical chart review. Pearson correlations and standard Student’s t-tests were used to identify significant (P < 0.05) relationships between targeted clinical variables and neurocognitive scores. Increased CKD severity correlated with lower IQ (P = 0.001) and memory function (P = 0.02). Memory function was lower in children with longer duration of disease (P = 0.03). Similarly, IQ scores were lowest when kidney disease had started at a younger age (P = 0.03) and with a greater percent of life with CKD (P = 0.04). Our findings provide preliminary evidence that increased disease severity, longer duration of disease, and younger age of onset of kidney disease potentially place children with CKD at increased risk of neurocognitive deficits. Additional investigation is required to better quantify these risk factors, particularly regarding how much variability is accounted for by these specific risk factors.

description: In the Ria Formosa lagoon (southern Portugal), Zostera noltii meadows have been cleared to make way for
 bivalve aquaculture. The present study aims to investigate the potential ecological impacts of Z. noltii removal using
 amphipods as bioindicators. Sampling was undertaken between August 2000 and August 2001 in an intertidal region of Ria
 Formosa at two different areas. One of the areas supports an ongoing commercial venture for the extensive culture of
 marine bivalves (Ruditapes decussatus), where Z. noltii beds have previously been removed and sand added, while the other
 area represents a natural Z. noltii habitat. At each monthly sampling date five replicates (0.02 m2 each) were taken from
 both areas with a corer and sieved through a 0.5 mm mesh. Multivariate analysis and analyses of variance of faunal data
 showed significant differences between the amphipod assemblages. In general, Z. noltii beds presented higher densities,
 number of species, diversity and evenness values than the unvegetated area. Within Z. noltii beds the community was
 characterized by Microdeutopus chelifer, Melita palmata, Gammarus insensibilis and Ampelisca sp. A., while the
 unvegetated area presented Leptocheirus pilosus, Siphonoecetes sabatieri and Ampelisca brevicornis as the most characte-
 ristic species. Within both areas, the univariate variables analysed peaked in summer. The amphipod patterns among areas
 were time-dependent and this should be taken into account in future studies. Amphipoda appeared to be a potential ecologi-
 cal indicator group regarding seagrass degradation.

description: The present review was aimed to indicate the existing effectiveness of kinesio taping (KT) use in stroke patients with shoulder symptoms. The literature search was carried out in PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science (WoS) databases. The quality assessment was accomplished using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale. A narrative synthesis was conducted to present the results. Thirteen studies were included in the study. The contribution of the KT to internal and external range of motion (ROM), specifically flexion and abduction, was emphasized. KT’s additional advantages to reducing pain, spasticity, and increasing motor function (including electromyography findings) were highlighted. Function scores and stroke staging of the individuals were improved with reducing the severity of the subluxation and a more stable shoulder joint. The present systematic review reported the positive effects of KT on shoulder pain, spasticity, passive-ROM, active-ROM, and motor function in individuals with stroke.

description: Although rare, renal replacement therapy (RRT) for the treatment of the metabolic, respiratory and hemodynamic complications of intoxications may be required. Understanding the natural clearance of the medications along with their volume of distribution, protein binding and molecular weight will help in understanding the benefit of commencing RRT. This information will aid in choosing the optimal forms of RRT in an urgent setting. Overdose of common pediatric medications are discussed with suggestions on the type of RRT within this educational review.

description: Morphological variability of Turbicellepora avicularis and T. magnicostats is considered; it is possible to conclude that T. magnicostata rarely shows conspicuous ribs on the frontal wall, which is opposite to the original description of the species. So, a redescription of T. magnicostata is based on the knowledge of its morphological variability. The relation (length orifice/width orifice) is considered a good parameter for distinguishing T. avicularis and T. magnicostata; other useful characters are the anatomy of the vicarious and avicularia and ovicells. Photographs of the ancestor of T. magnicostata are provided.

description: We study two kinds of conjectural bounds for the prime gap after the k-th prime $p_k$: (A) $p_{k+1} < (p_k)^{1+1/k}$ and (B) $p_{k+1}-p_k < \log^2 p_k - \log p_k - b$ for $k>9$. The upper bound (A) is equivalent to Firoozbakht's conjecture. We prove that (A) implies (B) with $b=1$; on the other hand, (B) with $b=1.17$ implies (A). We also give other sufficient conditions for (A) that have the form (B) with $b\to1$ as $k\to\infty$.

description: Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is an inherited disorder characterized by enlarged, cystic kidneys with progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD), systemic hypertension, and congenital hepatic fibrosis. Children with ARPKD can have early onset CKD and severe hypertension, both of which are known to have adverse neurocognitive effects. Objectives of this study were to (1) determine whether ARPKD patients have greater neurocognitive deficits compared to that of children with other causes of CKD, and (2) examine the relative prevalence of hypertension in ARPKD, a known risk factor for neurocognitive dysfunction.
On the Collective Magnetic Field Strength and Vector Structure of Dark Umbral Cores Measured by the Hinode Spectropolarimeter

description: We study 7530 sunspot umbrae and pores measured by the Hinode Spectropolarimeter (SP) between November 2006 and November 2012. We primarily seek confirmation of the long term secular decrease in the mean magnetic field strength of sunspot umbrae found by Penn and Livingston (2011, IAU Symp. 273,126) between 1998 and 2011. The excellent SP photometric properties and full vector magnetic field determinations from full-Stokes Milne-Eddington inversions are used to address the interrelated properties of the magnetic field strength and brightness temperature for all umbral cores. We find non-linear relationships between magnetic field strength and umbral temperature (and continuum contrast), as well as between umbral radius and magnetic field strength. Using disambiguated vector data, we find that the azimuths measured in the umbral cores reflect an organization weakly influenced by Joy's law. The large selection of umbrae displays a log-normal size spectrum similar to earlier solar cycles. Influenced by the amplitude of the solar cycle and the nonlinear relationship between umbral size and core magnetic field strength, the distribution of core magnetic field strengths, fit most effectively with a skew-normal distribution, shows a weak solar cycle dependence. Yet, the mean magnetic field strength does not show a significant long term trend.

description: This study showed the process of recolonization of a defaunated substrate by a "muddy sands in sheltered area" (SVMC) population. Twenty four experimental boxes were placed at 5 m depth , in Lazaret Bay, Toulon during an annual cycle. To compare natural and experimental conditions, a few meters apart from the experimental site, autochtonous sediments were also monthly sampled. The structure and degree of organization of populations were followed by means of Correspondence Analysis, a multi variate method of ordination in reduced space, and Rank-Frequency Diagrams. Correspondence Analysis were applied to 140 taxa of benthic organisms. Both technics were complementary, showing the evolution of the experimental population towards astate resembling the natural surrounding population. After one year, almost the same diversity and lists of species were found, nevertheless the organization (i.e. relative, proportions of species) appeared to be different.

description: We present the first simultaneous spectral energy distribution (SED) of M87 core at a scale of 0.4 arcsec ($\sim 32\, \rm{pc}$) across the electromagnetic spectrum. Two separate, quiescent, and active states are sampled that are characterized by a similar featureless SED of power-law form, and that are thus remarkably different from that of a canonical active galactic nuclei (AGN) or a radiatively inefficient accretion source. We show that the emission from a jet gives an excellent representation of the core of M87 core covering ten orders of magnitude in frequency for both the active and the quiescent phases. The inferred total jet power is, however, one to two orders of magnitude lower than the jet mechanical power reported in the literature. The maximum luminosity of a thin accretion disc allowed by the data yields an accretion rate of $< 6 \times 10^{-5}\, \rm{M_\odot \, yr^{-1}}$, assuming 10% efficiency. This power suffices to explain M87 radiative luminosity at the jet-frame, it is however two to three order of magnitude below that required to account for the jet's kinetic power. The simplest explanation is variability, which requires the core power of M87 to have been two to three orders of magnitude higher in the last 200 yr. Alternatively, an extra source of power may derive from black hole spin. Based on the strict upper limit on the accretion rate, such spin power extraction requires an efficiency an order of magnitude higher than predicted from magnetohydrodynamic simulations, currently in the few hundred per cent range.

description: This study investigated the effect of a rhythmic sling mobility exercise program on cognitive and functional ability in community-dwelling older adults with dementia. Forty patients with dementia were allocated into either the experimental group (n1 = 21) that performed the rhythmic sling mobility exercise program while listening to their favorite popular music, or the control group (n2 = 19) that performed daily routine activities. The intervention was performed for an average of 1 hour 5 times a week for 4 months. There were changes between the pretest and post-test values of cognition and functional ability between the two groups that indicate significant improvement, with medium to large effects size (d) (MMSE: −0.548; GS: −0.842; BBS: −1.700; 10MWT: −0.656; and MBI: −1.303). These findings suggest that the rhythmic sling mobility exercise program may be used to improve cognitive and functional recovery in community-dwelling older adults with dementia.

description: Aim: Describe the 3- and 6-month outcomes and perceptions of older adults who participated in a HOP-UP-PT clinical trial. Methods: A questionnaire was administered to HOP-UP-PT participants to garner frequency of self-reported falls, healthcare utilization, perceptions of interventions, and fiscal considerations 3- and 6- months after program completion. Results: 76 total respondents, mean age 77 (SD = 7) years and 75% female. A fall was reported by 12% and 16%, additional therapy needs by 16% and 17%, and hospitalization by 3% and 6% at the 3- and 6-month encounters, respectively. Respondents agreed or strongly agreed to positive benefits of the HOP-UP-PT interventions as follows: exercise (71%, 69%), wearable activity monitor (59%, 59%), automated blood pressure monitor (78%, 87%), and improved nutrition (48%, 41%). Respondents were willing to contribute 10% of program cost and 93% supported insurers covering the cost gap. Conclusion: HOP-UP-PT participants had positive outcomes and perceptions in after program participation.

description: The diversity and abundance of meiofauna in quasi-quantitative samples collected from Bathymodiolus mussel
 beds in a deep-sea hydrothermal vent field on the East Pacific Rise (EPR) was studied with particular reference to
 nematodes. Copepods, polychaetes and nematodes were found to be the most abundant meiofaunal taxa at all sites
 processed so far. Species richness (S = 4- 6), Shannon-Wiener diversity indices (H'log e = 0.9-1.5) and Pielou's eveness
 indices (J' = 0.5-0.8) were similar at all sites. Six different species of nematode were identified, both sites exhibiting a
 dominance of Monhystrid species. Cluster analysis of Bray-Curtis similarities using group-average linkage on standardised
 data shows that samples from Train Station and East Wall separate out at around the 45% similarity level. This separation
 results from the different abundances of nematode species present at both sites and the exclusive presence of
 Thalassomonhystera sp. B at Train Station and Anticoma sp. A at East Wall. A pot sample from a mussel bed at "Oasis" at
 17 25' S on the EPR exhibits approximately 30% similarity with the NEPR samples as a result of higher abundance and
 species richness of nematodes. To date, meiofauna have seldom been included in ecological studies at vents and it is there-
 fore not clear to whether patterns of faunal zonation and biogeography similar to those known in megafauna are also present
 in this size class. Future work may reveal possible large-scale variation in nematode species richness.

description: The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) II is a prospective study that evaluates patient reported outcomes in pediatric chronic diseases as a measure of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). We have evaluated the influence of disease duration on HRQOL and, for the first time, compared the findings of the PROMIS measures to those of the PedsQL™ 4.0 Generic Scales (PedsQL) from the PROMIS II nephrotic syndrome (NS) longitudinal cohort.
Deterministic Communication in Radio Networks

description: In this paper we improve the deterministic complexity of two fundamental communication primitives in the classical model of ad-hoc radio networks with unknown topology: broadcasting and wake-up. We consider an unknown radio network, in which all nodes have no prior knowledge about network topology, and know only the size of the network $n$, the maximum in-degree of any node $Δ$, and the eccentricity of the network $D$. For such networks, we first give an algorithm for wake-up, based on the existence of small universal synchronizers. This algorithm runs in $O(\frac{\min\{n, D Δ\} \log n \log Δ}{\log\log Δ})$ time, the fastest known in both directed and undirected networks, improving over the previous best $O(n \log^2n)$-time result across all ranges of parameters, but particularly when maximum in-degree is small. Next, we introduce a new combinatorial framework of block synchronizers and prove the existence of such objects of low size. Using this framework, we design a new deterministic algorithm for the fundamental problem of broadcasting, running in $O(n \log D \log\log\frac{D Δ}{n})$ time. This is the fastest known algorithm for the problem in directed networks, improving upon the $O(n \log n \log \log n)$-time algorithm of De Marco (2010) and the $O(n \log^2 D)$-time algorithm due to Czumaj and Rytter (2003). It is also the first to come within a log-logarithmic factor of the $Ω(n \log D)$ lower bound due to Clementi et al.\ (2003). Our results also have direct implications on the fastest \emph{deterministic leader election} and \emph{clock synchronization} algorithms in both directed and undirected radio networks, tasks which are commonly used as building blocks for more complex procedures.

Stauromedusae on the East Pacific Rise

Publisher: name: Station Biologique de Roscoff (SBR)
Year: 2006

description: Dense aggregations of the large stauromedusae Lucernaria janetae Collins & Daly, 2005 are known from four
 sites near East Pacific Rise hydrothermal vents, but as is typical of circum-vent animals, their biology remains virtually
 unstudied. Observations of stauromedusae from near 8°36'N find that they are consistently near fissures from which warm,
 smoky water wafts. Collections of these animals and associated fauna suggest that the amphipods Halice hesmonectes
 Martin, France and Van Dover 1993 form the primary stauromedusan prey. The diversity and abundance of other taxa in
 the immediate area of the stauromedusae are low. The amphipods, notably sexually mature members of H. hesmonectes,
 may effectively transfer vent productivity to these stauromedusae, allowing them to reach extraordinary sizes and densities.

description: Age of menarche, or the timing of first menses in girls, is a physiological trait that shows substantial genetic heritability. Earlier age of menarche is associated with increased childhood adiposity and with adult risk of obesity and cardiovascular disease. In 827 young Filipino women from the Cebu Longitudinal Health and Nutrition Survey (CLHNS), we observed nominal association with age of menarche (β = −0.118 years, 95% confidence interval = (−0.216, −0.020), P = 0.019) for the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs7759938 from the menarche locus LIN28B with an effect direction consistent with the previous report. We also tested whether childhood adiposity, as measured by body mass index (BMI) at age 8, mediated the relationship between rs7759938 and age of menarche. We observed suggestive evidence that the effect of the SNP on age of menarche was independent of childhood adiposity. These data confirm the strongest gene reported in Europeans (LIN28B) as a contributor to age of menarche in an Asian population.
Transport across a system with three p-wave superconducting wires: effects of Majorana modes and interactions

description: We study the effects of Majorana modes and interactions between electrons on transport in a one-dimensional system with a junction of three p-wave superconductors (SCs) which are connected to normal metal leads. For sufficiently long SCs, there are zero energy Majorana modes at the junctions between the SCs and the leads,and, depending on the signs of the p-wave pairings in the three SCs, there can also be one or three Majorana modes at the junction of the three SCs. We show that the various sub-gap conductances have peaks occurring at the energies of all these modes; we therefore get a rich pattern of conductance peaks. Next, we use a renormalization group approach to study the scattering matrix of the system at energies far from the SC gap. The fixed points of the renormalization group flows and their stabilities are studied; we find that the scattering matrix at the stable fixed point is highly symmetric even when the microscopic scattering matrix and the interaction strengths are not symmetric. We discuss the implications of this for the conductances. Finally we propose an experimental realization of this system which can produce different signs of the p-wave pairings in the different SCs.
