description: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are the first people of Australia. Consequences of colonisation and ongoing societal marginalisation and racism has led to significant health and wellbeing impacts on this population. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people view health through a Social and Emotional Wellbeing (SEWB) framework. There are currently no measures of SEWB, with proxy measures used instead. The Kessler Psychological Distress Scale is a measure of psychological distress often used as a proxy for measuring SEWB. This thesis uses mixed-methods and best-practice approach to assess the reliability and validity of the culturally-modified, 5-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K5) in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population. The results of this study found good internal consistency, construct validity, convergent validity, and divergent validity. The K5 was also found to have good clinical utility in indicating depressive and anxiety disorders at a cut-off of 10. Assessment of K5 face validity indicates that the measure achieved face validity for psychological distress but fails to accurately measure SEWB. Thus, the K5 is a valid measure of psychological distress for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, but the measure fails as a measure of SEWB.

description: There is a wide consensus that type Ia supernovae (SN Ia) originate from the thermonuclear explosion of CO white dwarfs (WD), with the lack of hydrogen in the observed spectra as a distinctive feature. Here, we present SN 2016jae, which was classified as a Type Ia SN from a spectrum obtained soon after the discovery. The SN reached a B-band peak of -17.93 +- 0.34 mag, followed by a fast luminosity decline with sBV 0.56 +- 0.06 and inferred Dm15(B) of 1.88 +- 0.10 mag. Overall, the SN appears as a "transitional" event between "normal" SNe Ia and very dim SNe Ia such as 91bg-like SNe. Its peculiarity is that two late-time spectra taken at +84 and +142 days after the peak show a narrow line of Halpha (with full width at half-maximum of ~650 and 1000 kms-1, respectively). This is the third low-luminosity and fast-declining Type Ia SN after SN 2018cqj/ATLAS18qtd and SN 2018fhw/ASASSN-18tb, found in the 100IAS survey that shows resolved narrow Halpha line in emission in their nebular-phase spectra. We argue that the nebular Halpha emission originates in an expanding hydrogen-rich shell (with velocity < 1000 kms-1). The hydrogen shell velocity is too high to be produced during a common envelope phase, while it may be consistent with some material stripped from an H-rich companion star in a single-degenerate progenitor system. However, the derived mass of this stripped hydrogen is ~0.002-0.003 Msun, which is much less than that expected (>0.1 Msun) for standard models for these scenarios. Another plausible sequence of events is a weak SN ejecta interaction with a H-shell ejected by optically thick winds or a nova-like eruption on the C/O WD progenitor some years before the supernova explosion.

description: We analyze the performance of a recently reported Ge/Si core/shell nanowire transistor using a semiclassical, ballistic transport model and an sp3s*d5 tight-binding treatment of the electronic structure. Comparison of the measured performance of the device with the effects of series resistance removed to the simulated result assuming ballistic transport shows that the experimental device operates between 60 to 85% of the ballistic limit. For this ~15 nm diameter Ge nanowire, we also find that 14-18 modes are occupied at room temperature under ON-current conditions with ION/IOFF=100. To observe true one dimensional transport in a <110> Ge nanowire transistor, the nanowire diameter would have to be much less than about 5 nm. The methodology described here should prove useful for analyzing and comparing on common basis nanowire transistors of various materials and structures.

Για το σκοπό αυτό, χρησιμοποιήθηκε η μεθοδολογία επιφανειών απόκρισης προκειμένου να μελετηθούν οι ταυτόχρονες επιδράσεις του ποσοστού του αλεύρου βελανιδιού, της συγκέντρωσης των δύο υδροκολλοειδών, μεθυλοκυτταρίνη, πηκτίνη και της ποσότητας του προστιθέμενου νερού, στα φυσικοχημικά και άλλα ποιοτικά χαρακτηριστικά των αρτοσκευασμάτων.
description: The subject of this thesis was the development and optimization of the formulation of a sweet gluten-free pastry product (muffin) by using a highly nutritious, gluten-free flour, acorn, to substitute up to 20 per cent the corn flour in the flour mixture as well as by adding hydrocolloids. The Response Surface Methodology was employed for this purpose. The objective of carefully designed experiments was to optimize the physicochemical and other quality characteristics of the baked product (output variables) which are effected by the acorn flour content, the concentration of the two hydrocolloids methylcellulose, pectin and the amount of added water WL (input variables).

description: The deliverable presents the initial set of requirements and the specification of the modules to be developed within the RIDE2RAIL project. In addition, it analyses the software developed in previous Shift2Rail projects to determine whether the functions developed in RIDE2RAIL can be integrated into existing artifacts. To determine the requirements and the specification of the RIDE2RAIL modules, the deliverable identifies the external actors with which the RIDE2RAIL modules will interact; then, it presents a set of use cases that provide an initial understanding of the functions to be realized in the project; from the use cases, a set of requirements are derived, then an initial model of the components to be developed in the project and their interfaces are provided in the form of a UML model. The set of functions to be developed in the RIDE2RAIL projects can be grouped in two categories: - those related to the interaction of the users (which can be passengers or drivers of shared rides) with the system, which should be provided through a suitable user application; - and those related to the management of shared rides, which should be provided by a Travel Service Provider. The deliverable analyses the feasibility of the integration of the RIDE2RAIL modules into existing frameworks. To this end, it analyses the outcomes of three projects: (i) the Travel Companion developed within the ATTRACkTIVE Shift2Rail project, which can be the basis for the application offering the functions targeted to users; (ii) the CIGO! platform of the My-TRAC Shift2Rail project, which could be used to realize functions for the monitoring of shared rides; and (iii) the software components developed within the SocialCar H2020 project, which could be the basis for the implementation of the RIDE2RAIL Travel Service Provider.

description: Η μόδα αποτελεί σημαντικό πεδίο του πολιτισμού. Η βιομηχανία της «γρήγορης μόδας» αποτελεί την εξέλιξη της βιομηχανίας της μόδας. Λόγω της ραγδαίας ανάπτυξης της βιομηχανίας της «γρήγορης μόδας» και της επικράτησής της στις ελληνικές αγορές γενικότερα, και συγκεκριμένα στην τοπική αγορά της Θεσσαλονίκης, όπου είναι ιδιαίτερα δημοφιλής στο νεανικό κοινό, προέκυψε η ανάγκη για διερεύνηση των κινήτρων κατανάλωσης του νεανικού καταναλωτικού κοινού της Θεσσαλονίκης από καταστήματα γρήγορης μόδας. Προηγούμενες έρευνες που αφορούσαν την καταναλωτική εμπειρία φανέρωσαν ότι η καταναλωτική δραστηριότητα προσφέρει τόσο χρηστική όσο και ηδονική αξία. Με βάση προηγούμενες έρευνες στο αντικείμενο της κατανάλωσης, υπήρξε η διάκριση σε ατομικά και κοινωνικά καταναλωτικά κίνητρα. Σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας έρευνας το νεανικό καταναλωτικό κοινό της Θεσσαλονίκης καταναλώνει με ηδονικά κίνητρα, ενώ σημαντικό, επίσης, είναι ότι δεν επιβεβαιώνεται η εγωκεντρική κατανάλωση. Προέκυψαν τέσσερα βασικά καταναλωτικά κίνητρα από την έρευνα, η απόδραση και συναισθηματική ρύθμιση, η διαδικαστική ικανοποίηση, η αλτρουιστική ικανοποίηση και η εξερεύνηση. Επιπλέον, η παρούσα έρευνα διερευνά αν συγκεκριμένα χαρακτηριστικά του καταναλωτικού κοινού όπως το φύλο, η ηλικία, το μορφωτικό επίπεδο και το επίπεδο εισοδήματος επηρεάζουν καθένα από τα κίνητρα αυτά. Με βάση τα αποτελέσματα αυτά η περαιτέρω διερεύνηση των κινήτρων ηδονικής κατανάλωσης αποτελεί αντικείμενο μελλοντικής έρευνας.
description: Fashion is an important field of culture. The "fast fashion" industry constitutes the evolution of the fashion industry. Given the rapid growth of "fast fashion" industry and its prevalence on the Greek market in general, and specifically in the local market of Thessaloniki, where it is particularly popular in the young audience, the need is indicated for the investigation of consumer motives of young consumers from Thessaloniki’s fast fashion stores. Previous researches involving consumer experience revealed that consumer activity offers both utilitarian and hedonic value. Based on previous research into the area of the consumption, there was a distinction of individual from social consumer motives. According to the results of this research young consumers of Thessaloniki consumed based on hedonic motives, while the self-centered consumption is not confirmed. The results from the research are four main consumer motives, escape and emotional adjustment, procedural satisfaction, altruistic satisfaction and exploration. Furthermore, this research explores whether specific consumer characteristics such as gender, age, education level and income level affect each of these motives. According to these results further investigation of hedonic consumption motives is recommended for future research.

Ερευνήθηκαν όλοι οι παράγοντες επιρροής κατά τη διαμόρφωση της βαθμολόγησης της επίδοσης των μαθητών στους ελέγχους επίδοσής τους. Συγκεκριμένα εξετάστηκαν ο σκοπός της αξιολόγησης, η ισχύουσα νομοθεσία και προγράμματα σπουδών σχετικά με το θέμα αυτό, που αποτελούν το θεσμικό πλαίσιο, το οποίο οφείλουν να τηρούν οι εκπαιδευτικοί. Επίσης αναφέρονται δυσκολίες που αντιμετωπίζουν οι εκπαιδευτικοί κατά την τήρηση του πλαισίου αυτού καθώς και λάθη που κάνουν – συνειδητά ή ασυνείδητα - κατά την αξιολόγηση της μαθητικής επίδοσης. Τέλος προτείνονται τρόποι για τη βελτίωση των συνθηκών, υπό τις οποίες διαμορφώνεται η βαθμολογία, ώστε η διαδικασία αυτή να γίνει πιο αντικειμενική και ουσιαστική τόσο για τους εκπαιδευτικούς όσο και για τους μαθητές.
description: The aim of the present masters’ degree was the study of the assessment and evaluation of student learning in German as a Foreign language in the public Greek gymnasium. All the students’ grades related influencing factors were examined. In particular, we examined the aim of assessment and evaluation of student learning, the adopted legislation and the curricula related to this theme, that build the framework, to which teachers owe to hold on. Difficulties of implementation, which teachers face as well as mistakes, that they make – consciously or not – are also examined. Finally this work suggests ways to improve the circumstances, under which grades are formed, so that this process becomes more objective and substantial for both teachers and students.

description: The early B star S1 in the Rho Ophiuchus cloud excites an HII region and illuminates a large egg-shaped photodissociation (PDR) cavity. The PDR is restricted to the west and south-west by the dense molecular Rho Oph A ridge, expanding more freely into the diffuse low density cloud to the north-east. We analyze new SOFIA GREAT, GMRT and APEX data together with archival data from Herschel/PACS, JCMT/HARPS to study the properties of the photo-irradiated ionized and neutral gas in this region. The tracers include [C II] at 158 micron, [O I] at 63 and 145 micron, J=6-5 transitions of CO and 13CO, HCO+ (4-3), radio continuum at 610 and 1420 MHz and HI at 21 cm. The PDR emission is strongly red-shifted to the south-east of the nebula, and primarily blue-shifted on the north western side. The [C II] and and [O I]63 spectra are strongly self-absorbed over most of the PDR. By using the optically thin counterparts, [13C II] and [O I]145 respectively, we conclude that the self-absorption is dominated by the warm (>80 K) foreground PDR gas and not by the surrounding cold molecular cloud. We estimate the column densities of C+ and O of the PDR to be 3e18 and 2e19 cm^-2, respectively. Comparison of stellar far-ultraviolet flux and reprocessed infrared radiation suggest enhanced clumpiness of the gas to the north-west. Analysis of the emission from the PDR gas suggests the presence of at least three density components consisting of high density (10^6 cm^-3) clumps, medium density (10^4 cm^-3) and diffuse (10^3 cm^-3) interclump medium. The medium density component primarily contributes to the thermal pressure of the PDR gas which is in pressure equilibrium with the molecular cloud to the west. We find that the PDR is tilted and warped with the south-eastern side of the cavity being denser on the front and the north-western side being denser on the rear.

description: Nowadays the world wide web contains a vast amount of data, including books journals and scientific articles. However, the effectiveness of searching and retrieving such data can often be compromised and the current search engines can sometimes prove to be ineffective. This problem is solved by taking the next step and entering the semantic web. Semantic web is an evolution of the world wide web and provides the means to link and categorize different groups of data and also to create a web of linked data, that is accessible to both human and machine. The current dissertation has an objective of analyzing the meaning and the elements that constitute the semantic web such as the RDF syntax . RDF syntax is used to describe a web resource in the semantic web. The final objective of this dissertation is the transformation of the data taken from the LPIS research team webpage that pertain to scientific publications, using the RDF syntax, in order to add a semantic annotation.

description: Image inpainting is one of the important tasks in computer vision which focuses on the reconstruction of missing regions in an image. The aim of this paper is to introduce an image inpainting model based on Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Imputation Network. The generator network of the model uses building blocks of convolutional layers with different dilation rates, together with skip connections that help the model reproduce fine details of the output. This combination yields a universal imputation model that is able to handle various scenarios of missingness with sufficient quality. To show this experimentally, the model is simultaneously trained to deal with three scenarios given by missing pixels at random, missing various smaller square regions, and one missing square placed in the center of the image. It turns out that our model achieves high-quality inpainting results on all scenarios. Performance is evaluated using peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity index on two real-world benchmark datasets, CelebA faces and Paris StreetView. The results of our model are compared to biharmonic imputation and to some of the other state-of-the-art image inpainting methods.

Coherent State Path Integrals in the Weyl Representation

description: We construct a representation of the coherent state path integral using the Weyl symbol of the Hamiltonian operator. This representation is very different from the usual path integral forms suggested by Klauder and Skagerstan in \cite{Klau85}, which involve the normal or the antinormal ordering of the Hamiltonian. These different representations, although equivalent quantum mechanically, lead to different semiclassical limits. We show that the semiclassical limit of the coherent state propagator in Weyl representation is involves classical trajectories that are independent on the coherent states width. This propagator is also free from the phase corrections found in \cite{Bar01} for the two Klauder forms and provides an explicit connection between the Wigner and the Husimi representations of the evolution operator.

description: Molecular dynamics simulations of shear band development over 1000% strain in simple shear are used to test whether the local plastic strain rate is proportional to exp(-1/chi), where chi is a dimensionless quantity related to the "disorder temperature" or "free volume" that characterizes the structural state of the glass. Scaling is observed under the assumption that chi is linearly related to the local potential energy per atom. This analysis permits the extraction of the potential energy per atom at which chi=0 and the approximate energy needed to create a shear transformation zone.

Analysis of CD44/hyaluronan binding in lymphoid and fibroblast cell lines
Creators: name: Bader, Sharon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis set out to determine how regulatory factors, such as possible cytoskeletal associations or cytoplasmic proteins, could affect how CD44 expressing cells bind hyaluronan. Cell lines expressing CD44 were used as a tool to determine if associations between the cytoskeleton and CD44 could account for the variable hyaluronan binding in cell lines with different binding abilities towards hyaluronan. Analysis of CD44-cytoskeletal associations in lymphoid and fibroblast cell lines suggested no direct link between CD44 and actin in lymphoid cells nor between CD44 and actin, vimentin or keratin in NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells that could regulate hyaluronan binding. It was shown that in one cell line, the T-cell lymphoma WH(4).l in which hyaluronan binding was induced with the phorbol ester, Phorbol 12-Myristate 13- Acetate (PMA), that the increase of hyaluronan binding was prevented by an inhibitor of protein synthesis and this inhibition was shown to be reversible. L-cells expressing CD44 but lacking the glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) heparan sulphate or chondroitin sulphate showed no differences in their ability to bind hyaluronan or in their distribution of CD44 before or after Triton X-100 solubilization. However, L-cells lacking chondroitin sulphate were unable to be activated to bind hyaluronan with a CD44 monoclonal antibody that normally induces CD44 dependent hyaluronan binding. The distribution of CD44 following Triton X-100 solubilization of NIH 3T3 cells displayed some similarities to that of Thy-1, a glycophosphoinositol lipid linked protein. In addition, both these proteins were insoluble in Triton X-100 in these cells but were solubilized by a different non-ionic detergent octyl glucoside.

Κυρίαρχες ενώσεις εμφανίστηκαν οι BDE-209 και DBDPE στα δείγματα σκόνης. Η ανθρώπινη έκθεση στα BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-153, BDE-209, TBB, BTBPE, TBPH, DBDPE μέσω της κατάποσης σκόνης και της δερματικής απορρόφησης ήταν αρκετές τάξεις μεγέθους χαμηλότερη από τις τιμές RfD της ημερήσιας έκθεσης για τις εν λόγω ενώσεις.
description: This study examined the occurence of PBDEs and NBFRs in dust from the interior of private cars (n=30) in Thessaloniki, Greece aged from 1 to 19 years with variable origin and characteristics. The sum concentrations of 20 target PBDE congeners (∑20PBDE) in car dust ranged from 132 ng g-1 to 54666 ng g-1 with a median value of 2875 ng g-1 while the sum of 4 target compounds of NBFRs (∑4NBFRs) ranged from 48,0 ng g-1 to 7655 ng g-1 with a median value of 1190 ng g-1. The most abundant compounds were found to be BDE-209 and DBDPE. The exposures to BDE-47, BDE-99, BDE-153, BDE-209, TBB, BTBPE, TBPH, DBDPE via ingestion and dermal absorption were several orders of magnitude lower than their corresponding RfD values.

description: Ο πόλεμος υπήρχε πάντοτε στην ανθρώπινη ιστορία. Οι ένοπλες συρράξεις παραμένουν στον σύγχρονο κόσμο η πιο σημαντική απειλή ασφαλείας για τους πολίτες. Ο μοντέρνος τύπος πολέμου χαρακτηρίζεται από τη συμμετοχή μη κρατικών δρώντων και συχνά διεξάγεται με ασύμμετρο τρόπο. Η χρησιμοποίηση νέων τεχνολογιών στο πεδίο της μάχης καθιστά δύσκολο τον διαχωρισμό μαχητών και πολιτών. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία εκπονείται στο πλαίσιο του μαθήματος των Διεθνών Σχέσεων και έχει ως αντικείμενο μελέτης τις απειλές των ένοπλων συρράξεων στην ανθρώπινη ασφάλεια. Η ενδυνάμωση της προστασίας των ατόμων κατά τις ένοπλες συρράξεις αποτελεί αυξανόμενη ανησυχία για τη διεθνή κοινότητα. Το Διεθνές Ανθρωπιστικό Δίκαιο, το Δίκαιο των Ανθρωπίνων Δικαιωμάτων σε συνδυασμό με τη σύσταση Διεθνών Ποινικών Δικαστηρίων παρέχουν μία κανονιστική προστασία. Η εμφάνιση των κοινωνικών δικτύων και των Μη κυβερνητικών Οργανώσεων (ΜΚΟ) προάγουν τη γνώση και τον σεβασμό για τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα ανάμεσα στον πληθυσμό, συλλέγοντας ακριβείς πληροφορίες. Τελικά, η ισχυρή πολιτική δέσμευση απεικονίζεται στις αποφάσεις του Συμβουλίου Ασφαλείας, υπό το Κεφάλαιο VII του Χάρτη των ΗΕ.
description: War was always present in human history. Armed conflicts remain in the contemporary world the most important security threat for the civilian populations. Modern type of warfare involves non-state actors and is often waged in asymmetrical ways. The employment of new technologies in the battlefield makes the distinction between combatants and civilians difficult. This situation puts a serious threat in human security.The present master’s thesis is prepared in the framework of the postgraduate course of International Relations and its subject consists on the threats that armed conflicts pose to human security. The strengthening of the protection of individuals in armed conflicts is an increasing concern for the international community. The international humanitarian law and international human rights law in addition with the establishment of international criminal tribunals offer a normative protection. The emergence of social media and human rights Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs) promote knowledge and respect for, human rights among the population by collecting accurate information. Finally the strong political commitment is depicted in the Security Council resolutions, acting under Chapter VII of the UN Charter.

description: We propose an exact, finite $N$ formula for the partition function over $1/4^{th}$ BPS states in the conformal field theory on the world volume of $N$ coincident M5 branes and $1/8^{th}$ BPS states in the theory of $N$ coincident M2 branes. We obtain our partition function by performing the radial quantization of the Coulomb Branches of these theories, and rederive the same formula from the quantization of supersymmetric giant and dual giant gravitons in $AdS_7 \times S^4$ and $AdS_4 \times S^7$. Our partition function is qualitatively similar to the analogous quantity in ${\cal N}=4$ Yang Mills. It reduces to the sum over supersymmetric multi gravitons at low energies, but deviates from this supergravity formula at energies that scale like a positive power of $N$.

Robust skyrmion mediated reversal of ferromagnetic nanodots of 20 nm lateral dimension with high Ms and moderate DMI

description: Implementation of skyrmion based energy efficient and high-density data storage devices requires aggressive scaling of skyrmion size. Ferrimagnetic materials are considered to be a suitable platform for this purpose due to their low saturation magnetization (i.e. smaller stray field). However, we show by performing rigorous micromagnetic simulation that such scaling of skyrmion size by lowering saturation magnetization while applicable in infinite films or where the skyrmion size is very small compared to the film's lateral dimension, does not hold in confined geometries. We also found in confined geometries, where skyrmion occupies the whole volume of a nanodot, high saturation magnetization helps form stable skyrmions. Specifically, such skyrmions can be formed in 20 nm lateral dimension nanodots with high saturation magnetization (1.6-1.71 MA/m) and moderate DMI (3 mJ/m2). This result could stimulate experiments on implementation of highly dense skyrmion devices. In particular, we show that Voltage Controlled Magnetic Anisotropy (VCMA) based switching mediated by an intermediate skyrmion state can be achieved in the soft layer of a ferromagnetic p-MTJ of lateral dimensions 20 nm with sub 1fJ/bit energy in the presence of room temperature thermal noise with reasonable DMI ~3 mJ/m2.
Archivists’ outlook on service to genealogists in selected Canadian provincial archives
Creators: name: Edwards, Rhianna Helen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A long-standing antipathy towards genealogists on the part of archivists is suggested by a study of the archival literature. However, there is evidence in the literature of the past decade to indicate that many archivists are reassessing their position vis a vis genealogists. There appears to be several causes. Social historians and other professionals also acknowledge that genealogical endeavours are helpful to their own purposes. Genealogists themselves recognize that their qualifications and standards must be improved in order for them to command respect. Archivists now recognize the lobbying power that can be exercised by this large user constituency. The literature suggests that all these influences are leading archivists to accept the principle that genealogy and genealogists should receive service and respect that is equal to that afforded academic and other researchers. Interviews with seven archivists at three Canadian provincial archives were conducted. They suggest that different archivists hold different attitudes towards genealogists. One interviewee was clearly antipathetic, but three were impartial and three were frustrated and discouraged, not with genealogists per se, but with the problems inherent in putting the principle of equality into practice. Regardless of the attitude held, each interviewee believed that an improvement in methods of accommodating genealogists would not only aid the genealogist, but would also provide some relief from the pressures of serving this large and varied user constituency. But does such accommodation through adjustments in the functions of appraisal and acquisition, arrangement and description, reference and access, and public programming undermine archival theory? In general, it was found that sound appraisal practices are compromised by an approach driven by the needs of the user; however, genealogical research required no adjustment of arrangement and description practices following the principles of provenance and original order. It was also found that the functions of reference and access, and public programming could meet the needs and approaches of genealogists without jeopardizing the physical and intellectual aspects of the records.
Interpretation of the Cosmological Metric

description: The cosmological Robertson-Walker metric of general relativity is often said to have the consequences that (1) the recessional velocity $v$ of a galaxy at proper distance $\ell$ obeys the Hubble law $v=H\ell$, and therefore galaxies at sufficiently great distance $\ell$ are receding faster than the speed of light $c$; (2) faster than light recession does not violate special relativity theory because the latter is not applicable to the cosmological problem, and because ``space itself is receding'' faster than $c$ at great distance, and it is velocity relative to local space that is limited by $c$, not the velocity of distant objects relative to nearby ones; (3) we can see galaxies receding faster than the speed of light; and (4) the cosmological redshift is not a Doppler shift, but is due to a stretching of photon wavelength during propagation in an expanding universe. We present a particular Robertson-Walker metric (an empty universe metric) for which a coordinate transformation shows that none of these interpretation necessarily holds. The resulting paradoxes of interpretation lead to a deeper understanding of the meaning of the cosmological metric.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής εργασίας είναι η μελέτη της προσβολής της προσωπικότητας των δημοσίων προσώπων στο Διαδίκτυο κατά την ελληνική έννομη τάξη, και στην αλληλεξάρτησή της από την Ευρωπαϊκή νομοθεσία. Στο πλαίσιο αυτό εξετάσαμε το νόημα βασικών όρων, η κατανόηση των οποίων συντελεί στην παρακολούθηση του περιεχομένου που ακολουθεί. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάσαμε αναλυτικά τα ατομικά δικαιώματα των χρηστών και ειδικότερα των «δημοσίων προσώπων» στο Διαδίκτυο, στη λειτουργία του ως ΜΜΕ. Ακόμη αναφερθήκαμε στο δικαίωμα της ιδιωτικής ζωής, της προσωπικότητας, το δικαίωμα στην ψηφιακή λήθη και το δικαίωμα της ελεύθερης ανάπτυξης της προσωπικότητας. Ένα άλλο θέμα που θίξαμε ήταν η φερόμενη σύγκρουση με «αντίπαλα» δικαιώματα, δηλαδή της ελευθερίας της έκφρασης, της ελευθερίας του Τύπου και της πληροφόρησης. Ασχοληθήκαμε επιπλέον με το κομμάτι της επίλυσης της σύγχησης που δημιουργεί η παρατηρούμενη «αντιπαράθεση».
description: The aim of this diploma thesis is to discuss the violation of the right to personality of public figures on the Internet, according to Greek Law and in its interdependence with European Law. Within this framework, we examined the meaning of basic notions, which are vital in understanding the text that follows. Also, we presented in detail the individual rights of Internet users, and specifically the rights of «public figures» on the Internet when it functions as the Media. Moreover, we mentioned the right to privacy, the protection of personal data, the right to be forgotten as well as the freedom of the person to develop their personality. Another issue we touched upon is how these rights clash with “opposing” rights, that is the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. Furthermore, we tried to resolve the confusion that the above clash causes.
