description: Invasive Fungal Infections (IFIs) pose a major threat against the increasing immunosuppressed patients as they have high morbidity and mortality rates. Prophylaxis, empiric, pre-emptive and treatment of proven IFIs is of the utmost importance. Newly approved triazole, isavuconazole, shows activity against Aspergillus spp and Mucorales spp in the treatment of invasive aspergillosis and invasive mucormycosis respectively. Isavuconazole’s linear pharmacokinetic properties and once-daily dose makes it an appealing choice for combating IFIs. Patients treated with isavuconazole demonstrated less drug related adverse events than previous treatments with azoles like voriconazole and fluconazole. Moreover, isavuconazole can be administered in patients with renal impairment contrary to the newer and older formulations of amphotericin B. Isavuconazole proves to be well tolerated with few drug related discontinuations of treatment. Although first in pediatric trials are ongoing, case reports and case series suggest that isavuconazole could be used in pediatric patients where other antifungal treatments are contradicted or inefficacious. Also, further studies could demonstrate potential activity in patients with other IFIs due to Candida spp.
description: Οι διηθητικές μυκητιάσεις (ΔΜ) είναι μία μεγάλη απειλή έναντι ανοσοκατεσταλμένων ασθενών καθώς έχουν υψηλά ποσοστά νοσηρότητας και θνητότητας. Η προφύλαξη, εμπειρική, προληπτική και θεραπεία ΔΜ είναι απαραίτητη. Μια νέα εγκεκριμένη αζόλη, η ισαβουκοναζόλη, φαίνεται να είναι αποτελεσματική έναντι στελεχών Aspergillus spp και Mucorales spp για τη θεραπεία διηθητική ασπεργίλλωσης και μουκορμύκωσης αντίστοιχα. Οι γραμμικές φαρμακοκινητικές ιδιότητες και η μία ημερίσια δόση της ισαβουκοναζόλης την καθιστούν μία ελκυστική επιλογή στη μάχη εναντίων των ΔΜ. Ασθενείς που έλαβαν ισαβουκοναζόλη εμφάνισαν λιγότερες ανεπιθύμητες ενέργειες, σχετιζόμενες με το φάρμακο, συγκριτικά με προηγούμενες θεραπείες με αζόλες όπως η βορικοναζόλη και η φλουκοναζόλη. Επιπροσθέτως, η ισαβουκοναζόλη μπορεί να δοθεί σε ασθενείς με νεφρική ανεπάρκεια αντίθετα με παλιές και νέες μορφές της αμφοτερικίνης Β. Η ισαβουκοναζόλη φαίνεται να είναι καλά ανεκτή και δεν παρουσιάζονται συχνά διακοπές της θεραπείας λόγω φαρμάκου. Αν και μελέτες για χρήση σε παιδιατρικό πληθυσμό είναι ακόμα εν εξελίξει, αναφορές περιστατικών εικάζουν πως η ισαβουκοναζόλη θα μπορούσε να χρησιμοποιηθεί σε ανήλικους ασθενείς όπου άλλες θεραπείες αντενδείκνυνται ή ήταν αναποτελεσματικές. Επίσης, επιπλέον έρευνες θα μπορούσαν να δείξουν πιθανή αποτελεσματικότητα έναντι άλλων ΔΜ από Candida spp.

description: Soft X-ray spectra of ULXs show small deviations from a power-law model, that can be attributed to reprocessing in a fast, ionized outflow, or to thermal emission from a cool disk. If it is thermal emission, the cool peak temperature can be explained by an inner disk that radiates only a small fraction of the gravitational power, transferring the rest to an upscattering medium which is then responsible for the dominant power-law component. This scenario does not require intermediate-mass black holes: we use a phenomenological model to show that the observed X-ray luminosities and spectra of ULXs are consistent with typical masses ~ 50-100 Msun.

description: Viscously damped particles driven past an evenly spaced array of potential energy wells or barriers may become kinetically locked in to the array, or else may escape from the array. The transition between locked-in and free-running states has been predicted to depend sensitively on the ratio between the particles' size and the separation between wells. This prediction is confirmed by measurements on monodisperse colloidal spheres driven through arrays of holographic optical traps.

description: The central objective of this study is to analyze the behaviour of GNSS products, namely Precipitable Water Vapor (𝑃𝑊𝑉) and Signal-to-Noise Ratio (𝑆𝑁𝑅), before, during, and after various intense rainfall periods to assess their precision and response time in detecting heavy rainfall. To achieve this goal, several GNSS stations are examined, covering Austria's entire territory within the EPOSA (Echtzeit Positioning Austria) area during the experimental period in July 2021. Subsequently, two different analyses are conducted, including (1) 𝑃𝑊𝑉 time series (sample rate 10 minutes) and (2) 𝑆𝑁𝑅 time series (sample rate 30 seconds), considering both lower and higher elevation angle ranges. These analyses are performed over multiple time windows to determine the response time of these parameters to heavy rainfall. As a result of this study, a new methodology based on 𝑃𝑊𝑉 and 𝑆𝑁𝑅 is investigated, demonstrating its potential for characterizing intense rainfall.

description: Despite a widespread conviction that conservation’s success depends on people genuinely caring about saving nature, there is very little scientific research examining how “caring for nature” influences conservation decision-making – particularly in poorer tropical countries. Instead, mainstream conservation tends to focus on economic motives to incentivise pro-conservation behaviour. To better understand the role of intrinsic motivations in nature protection in the tropics, this thesis draws upon the psychological concept of connection with nature (CWN), which describes people’s self-identification with nature and emotional attachment for the natural world. This concept is applied to understand intrinsic motivation for conservation among non-indigenous colonist farmers living at the Transamazon Highway deforestation frontier in the Brazilian Amazon. The thesis tests the applicability of the CWN framework to the context of rural populations in the Global South and scrutinises conventional wisdoms regarding “caring for nature”, including that poor people do not care about the natural environment, and that caring for nature is strongly linked to ecological knowledge. First, a new tool for measuring affective CWN in rural areas is developed and validated. This measure is then applied together with an existing cognitive CWN scale to form the first assessment for CWN among farmers in the tropics. Next, the influence of CWN on the farmers’ conservation attitudes is compared to that of other economic, sociodemographic, geographic and psychological factors. Contrary to widely-held assumptions, CWN is shown to be widespread and more important in shaping farmers’ conservation attitudes than economic factors. Lastly, the relationship between caring for nature and ecological knowledge is tested. The results suggest that CWN is unconnected to ecological knowledge and associated with different predictors. Collectively, the results highlight the need for greater attention to intrinsic motivations for conservation and suggest CWN as a useful framework for understanding and improving people’s relationship with nature.

description: We combine the Ly-alpha forest power spectrum (LYA) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and high resolution spectra with cosmic microwave background (CMB) including 3-year WMAP, and supernovae (SN) and galaxy clustering constraints to derive new constraints on cosmological parameters. The existing LYA power spectrum analysis is supplemented by constraints on the mean flux decrement derived using a principle component analysis for quasar continua, which improves the LYA constraints on the linear power. We find some tension between the WMAP3 and LYA power spectrum amplitudes, at the ~2 sigma level, which is partially alleviated by the inclusion of other observations: we find σ_8=0.85\pm 0.02 compared to sigma_8=0.80 \pm 0.03 without LYA. For the slope we find ns=0.965\pm0.012. We find no evidence for the running of the spectral index in the combined analysis, dn/dln k=-(1.5\pm 1.2) x 10^{-2}, in agreement with inflation. The limits on the sum of neutrino masses are significantly improved: $\sum m_ν<0.17\eV$ at 95% (<0.32eV at 99.9%). This result, when combined with atmospheric and solar neutrino mixing constraints, requires that the neutrino masses cannot be degenerate, m_3/m_1>1.3 (95% c.l.). Assuming a thermalized fourth neutrino we find m_s<0.26\eV at 95% c.l. and such neutrino cannot be an explanation for the LSND results. In the limits of massless neutrinos we obtain the effective number of neutrinos N_ν^{\rm eff}=5.3^{+0.4}_{-0.6}{}^{+2.1}_{-1.7}{}^{+3.8}_{-2.5} and N_ν^{\rm eff}=3.04 is allowed only at 2.4-sigma. The constraint on the dark energy equation of state is w=-1.04\pm 0.06. The constraint on curvature is Omega_k=-0.003\pm 0.006. Cosmic strings limits are Gμ<2.3 x 10^{-7} at 95% c.l. and correlated isocurvature models are also tightly constrained.

description: This paper aims to provide an interpretative approach to Modern Greek texts whose main theme is epidemic illness. Accordingly, the paper will attempt to gather all these texts under the diverse body of plague literature. The first part of the paper works as an introduction to plague literature, focusing on its basic characteristics, while providing examples from the Western literature. With that in mind, the second part of the paper will focus on a variety of Modern Greek texts that have plagues as their main theme. The timespan of these texts covers the entire period of the Modern Greek literature. The main purpose is to not only bring out and study the metaphorical use of infectious diseases in literature, but also to demonstrate a poetic continuity among the greek plague texts with the rest of plague literature.

Constraints on the Emission and Viewing Geometry of the Transient Anomalous X-ray Pulsar XTE J1810-197

description: The temporal decay of the flux components of Transient Anomalous X-ray Pulsar XTE J1810-197 following its 2002 outburst presents a unique opportunity to probe the emission geometry of a magnetar. Toward this goal, we model the magnitude of the pulsar's modulation in narrow spectral bands over time. Following previous work, we assume that the post-outburst flux is produced in two distinct thermal components arising from a hot spot and a warm concentric ring. We include general relativistic effects on the blackbody spectra due to gravitational redshift and light bending near the stellar surface, which strongly depend on radius. This affects the model fits for the temperature and size of the emission regions. For the hot spot, the observed temporal and energy-dependent pulse modulation is found to require an anisotropic, pencil-beamed radiation pattern. We are able to constrain an allowed range for the angles that the line-of-sight (psi) and the hot spot pole (xi) make with respect to the spin-axis. Within errors, this is defined by the locus of points in the xi-psi plane that lie along the line (xi+beta(R))(psi+beta(R)) ~ constant, where beta(R) is a function of the radius R of the star. For a canonical value of R=12 km, the viewing parameters range from psi=xi=37 deg to (psi,xi)=(85 deg,15 deg). We discuss our results in the context of magnetar emission models.

The Ethyl Controversy: How the news media set the agenda for a public health controversy over leaded gasoline, 1924-1926

description: This dissertation is a history of the public health controversy surrounding the introduction of Ethyl leaded gasoline between 1924 and 1926. It is the first historical study of the newspaper coverage of the Ethyl controversy and the first time that the news media have been used to establish a more comprehensive history of this controversy. The dissertation includes a content analysis of articles about the controversy printed by New York City daily newspapers between 1924 and 1926. The analysis concludes that the news media invested far more credibility in industry sources than in any other category of source, although Walter Lippmann's World newspaper gave significantly more space to university scientists critical of Ethyl leaded gasoline. The news media did not understand the scientific issues, however, and fell back on seemingly familiar political alignments when forced to decide between conflicting scientific experts of equal stature. Also, the news media failed to evaluate industry scientists' claim that no alternatives to Ethyl leaded gasoline were known to science. Actually, General Motors and Standard Oil Co. (N.J.) had patented and researched dozens of alternatives, and information about this work was available had the news media searched for it.

The dissertation also analyzes primary industry documents made public in 1992 concerning the development of leaded gasoline. It concludes that G.M.'s original special motive for developing leaded gasoline was to gradually adapt automotive engines for higher quality alternative fuels of the future (especially ethyl alcohol from cellulose) in anticipation of the depletion of U.S. petroleum supplies. G.M.'s Charles Kettering and others saw leaded gasoline as temporary bridge to non-petroleum fuels, not a permanent part of the fuel supply. Standard Oil, on the other hand, resisted alternative fuels. These private corporate ideas and strategies were not reflected in the public controversy in part because the news media had difficulty understanding scientific and technological issues.
A fast search strategy for gravitational waves from low-mass X-ray binaries

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: We present a new type of search strategy designed specifically to find continuously emitting gravitational wave sources in known binary systems based on the incoherent sum of frequency modulated binary signal sidebands. The search pipeline can be divided into three stages: the first is a wide bandwidth, F-statistic search demodulated for sky position. This is followed by a fast second stage in which areas in frequency space are identified as signal candidates through the frequency domain convolution of the F-statistic with an approximate signal template. For this second stage only precise information on the orbit period and approximate information on the orbital semi-major axis are required apriori. For the final stage we propose a fully coherent Markov chain monte carlo based follow up search on the frequency subspace defined by the candidates identified by the second stage. This search is particularly suited to the low-mass X-ray binaries, for which orbital period and sky position are typically well known and additional orbital parameters and neutron star spin frequency are not. We note that for the accreting X-ray millisecond pulsars, for which spin frequency and orbital parameters are well known, the second stage can be omitted and the fully coherent search stage can be performed. We describe the search pipeline with respect to its application to a simplified phase model and derive the corresponding sensitivity of the search.

description: Infertility is becoming an issue for an increasing number of couples. The most common solution, in vitro fertilization, requires embryologists to carefully examine light microscopy images of human oocytes to determine their developmental potential. We propose an automatic system to improve the speed, repeatability, and accuracy of this process. We first localize individual oocytes and identify their principal components using CNN (U-Net) segmentation. Next, we calculate several descriptors based on geometry and texture. The final step is an SVM classifier. Both the segmentation and classification training is based on expert annotations. The presented approach leads to a classification accuracy of 70%.

description: The integration of IR-spectroscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in the technique of Nano-IR circumvents the Abbe diffraction limit that restricts the resolution of other commonly used vibrational spectroscopies and permits chemical characterisation of biological surfaces at previously unattainable spatial resolution. Using this relatively new technique in conjunction with surface specific SFG spectroscopy has enabled the molecular compositions, structures and conformations of surface films to be investigated at nanometre spatial resolution. In this work these complementary techniques have been applied to Red Blood Cells (RBCs) from patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) to elucidate the effects of oxidative stress on the cell lipid bilayer membrane. The HbS mutated form of Haemoglobin present in RBCs of SCD patients polymerises when de-oxygenated causing deformation of the cell from the well-known biconcave disc to sickled morphologies. In this form the cells are found to be in great abundance in sites of cell occlusion which is explained by their observed change in adhesive properties. It has been proposed that oxidative damage to the cell membrane contributes to these adhesive changes and hence to the pathogenesis of SCD. In this work surface-localised enhancement of the C-O(H) vibrational band as well as significant lipid bilayer disordering was found for the RBCs. To elucidate the fundamental changes causing such observations the effect of oxidative stress on a supported lipid bilayer model membrane was investigated. Our two-pronged approach leads to a proposed mechanism for membrane damage under oxidative stress. The analytical techniques used in this study promise to be effective tools for assessing the efficacy of novel antioxidants and antioxidant regimes which will inform their rational use for amelioration of the clinical signs of SCD.

description: Recently, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are employed for a plethora of civilian applications. Such flying vehicles can accomplish tasks under the pilot's eyesight within the range of a remote controller, or autonomously according to a certain pre-loaded path configuration. Different path deviation attacks can be performed by malicious users against UAVs. We classify such attacks and the relative defenses based on the UAV's flight mode, i.e., (i) First Person View (FPV), (ii) civilian Global Navigation Satellite System based (GNSS), and (iii) GNSS "plus" auxiliary technologies (GNSS+), and on the multiplicity, i.e., (i) Single UAV, and (ii) Multiple UAVs. We found that very little has been done to secure the FPV flight mode against path deviation. In GNSS mode, spoofing is the most worrisome attack. The best defense against spoofing seems to be redundancy, such as adding vision chips to single UAV or using multiple arranged UAVs. No specific attacks and defenses have been found in literature for GNSS+ or for UAVs moving in group without a pre-ordered arrangement. These aspects require further investigation.

description: We investigate the thermodynamic uncertainty relation for the $(1+1)$ dimensional Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation on a finite spatial interval. In particular, we extend the results for small coupling strengths obtained previously to large values of the coupling parameter. It will be shown that, due to the scaling behavior of the KPZ equation, the TUR product displays two distinct regimes which are separated by a critical value of an effective coupling parameter. The asymptotic behavior below and above the critical threshold is explored analytically. For small coupling, we determine this product perturbatively including the fourth order; for strong coupling we employ a dynamical renormalization group approach. Whereas the TUR product approaches a value of $5$ in the weak coupling limit, it asymptotically displays a linear increase with the coupling parameter for strong couplings. The analytical results are then compared to direct numerical simulations of the KPZ equation showing convincing agreement.

Όσο δε γίνονται σφάλματα στις επαναλήψεις των διαδρομών, ανεβαίνει το επίπεδο δυσκολίας προκειμένου να γίνει εξάσκηση της χωρητικότητας της εργαζόμενης μνήμης. Από το πείραμα παρατηρήθηκε πως το παιχνίδι είχε μεγαλύτερη επίδραση σε αυτούς που είχαν χαμηλή επίδοση (αριθμός ψηφίων που κατάφεραν να αποθηκεύσουν) στο πρώτο τεστ που πήραν μέρος. Αυτοί που είχαν υψηλή απόδοση στο τεστ πριν λάβουν χώρα οι συνεδρίες (μεγαλύτερος αριθμός ψηφίων) παρέμειναν σχεδόν στην ίδια κατάσταση. Το συμπέρασμα αυτό, ισχύει για όλους τους συμμετέχοντες άσχετα με τις ηλικιακές ομάδες φύλο και το επίπεδο μόρφωσης. Το παιχνίδι φαίνεται να υποστηρίζει τη βελτίωση της λειτουργίας της εργαζόμενης μνήμης γεγονός που το καθιστά σοβαρό
description: The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate the status of working memory and how is affected by the use of a serious game. In order to make this assessment, a reference test performed where each participant's working memory status was recorded before the experiment took place and a test (same as the original) at the end of the sessions to record its progress. The game, which aims at practicing and improving, working memory, is a game of memorizing the path that indicated for it to follow. As long as no errors made in the iterations of the paths, it raises the level of difficulty in practicing working memory capacity. The experiment found that the game had a greater effect on those who had low performance (the number of digits they managed to save) in the first test they took. Those who performed high in the test before the sessions (higher number of saved digits) remained in almost the same condition. This conclusion applies to all participants irrespective of age, gender and level of education. The game seems to support improved working memory which makes it serious

description: Dynamics in AdS spacetimes is characterized by various time-periodicities. The most obvious of these is the time-periodic evolution of linearized fields, whose normal frequencies form integer-spaced ladders as a direct consequence of the structure of representations of the conformal group. There are also explicitly known time-periodic phenomena on much longer time scales inversely proportional to the coupling in the weakly nonlinear regime. We ask what would correspond to these long time periodicities in a holographic CFT, provided that such a CFT reproducing the AdS bulk dynamics in the large central charge limit has been found. The answer is a very large family of multiparticle operators whose conformal dimensions form simple ladders with spacing inversely proportional to the central charge. We give an explicit demonstration of these ideas in the context of a toy model holography involving a $ϕ^4$ probe scalar field in AdS, but we expect the applicability of the underlying structure to be much more general.

description: Amidst a rapid global proliferation of digital social media, Japanese youth have been adopting, adapting, and developing a diversity of multilingual computer mediated communication (CMC) practices on a variety of digital platforms. Previous research has pointed to commonalities in these practices with the practices of youth in other locales, but also to unique localized ways that Japanese youth communicate across digital media. This quasi-ethnographic case study was designed to explore English language learners’ multilingual CMC practices and perceptions from within a mediumsized private regional university in central Japan, and to point to pedagogical affordances that might lead to the development of symbolic competence. The project operates within a social constructivist paradigm and employs a theoretical approach largely consistent with cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT), but also drawing upon other theoretical traditions. Data were collected using narrative frames and field notes gathered during long-term participant observation that constituted insider research at the research site. The rationale for this study comes from the researcher’s interest in exploring ways that new technological affordances can best be used to enhance educational outcomes in a Japanese higher education context. Beyond the design affordances and constraints of various CMC technologies, myriad local factors and cultural assumptions were seen to contribute to the ‘cultures of use’ that inform students’ multilingual and multimodal interactions through various media. This research revealed that students rapidly develop new multilingual CMC practices through their interactions with their peers after entering university and returning from study abroad. A significant lack of broader media literacy, however, was seen to impede the development of symbolic competence. Pedagogical recommendations are offered to overcome this and other barriers to the development of symbolic competence.

description: The aim of my dissertation was to study matters of application of the International Convenants from member states of the United Nations in relation with the protection of fundamental human rights. I have mentioned the categories of immigrants and the reasons for migration. Afterwards I have written about the non- discrimination and the equality principles in order to emphasize their implementation to undocumented immigrants. Furthermore, I have given information about the Convenants, of the Civil and Political Rights and of the Economic, Social and Cultural rights and the Convention on the Protection of the rights of all Migrants Workers and members of their Families, their Committees entrusted to supervise their implementation , their type of the rights as well as the obligation of member states to provide immigrants with the minimum standard of protection followed by an analysis of the right to leave and the role of the international organisations as well as the peripheral organs of protection. Additionally, I referred to the Geneva Convention for Refugees and the role of the High Commissioner.

description: In the present thesis, a Database was studied and designed and the corresponding Database Management System was implemented for the scientific documentation recording of wall mosaics in the monuments of competence of the Ephorate of Antiquities of Thessaloniki City. The Database also includes fragments and tesserae distracted from these mosaics. Particular importance was given to the need of recording large quantities of data managed by the scientific staff of the Ephorate and subsequently to design the corresponding Database in such a way that the data recorded could be studied and processed to export useful scientific conclusions as well as that the Database can be easily maintained and updated in the future to cover new needs. After searching for suitable software (including open source software), this was followed by its practical implementation in Microsoft Access 2007. In the context of expanding its prospects for creation and comparison with intangible Databases, examples of fake news on the Internet were studied. A search of Databases in the field of mosaics and the broader field of archeology Databases followed. The study includes a critical and comparative evaluation of the above mentioned Databases, of the data structures they use and the needs they are designed to cover

description: We show that the limiting minimal eigenvalue distributions for a natural generalization of Gaussian sample-covariance structures (the "beta ensembles") are described by the spectrum of a random diffusion generator. By a Riccati transformation, we obtain a second diffusion description of the limiting eigenvalues in terms of hitting laws. This picture pertains to the so-called hard edge of random matrix theory and sits in complement to the recent work of the authors and B. Virag on the general beta random matrix soft edge. In fact, the diffusion descriptions found on both sides are used here to prove there exists a transition between the soft and hard edge laws at all values of beta.

description: We study the fragmentation of collisional ring galaxies (CRGs) using a linear perturbation analysis that computes the physical conditions of gravitational instability, as determined by the balance of self-gravity of the ring against pressure and Coriolis forces. We adopt our formalism to simulations of CRGs and show that the analysis can accurately characterise the stability and onset of fragmentation, although the linear theory appears to under-predict the number of fragments of an unstable CRG by a factor of 2. In addition, since the orthodox `density-wave' model is inapplicable to such self-gravitating rings, we devise a simple approach that describes the rings propagating as material waves. We find that the toy model can predict whether the simulated CRGs fragment or not using information from their pre-collision states. We also apply our instability analysis to a CRG discovered at a high redshift, $z=2.19$. We find that a quite high velocity dispersion is required for the stability of the ring, and therefore the CRG should be unstable to ring fragmentation. CRGs are rarely observed at high redshifts, and this may be because CRGs are usually too faint. Since the fragmentation can induce active star formation and make the ring bright enough to observe, the instability could explain this rarity. An unstable CRG fragments into massive clumps retaining the initial disc rotation, and thus it would evolve into a clumpy galaxy with a low surface density in an inter-clump region.
