description: Background: Exercise training (ET) has been shown to mitigate cardiotoxicity of anthracycline-based chemotherapies (AC) in animal models. Data from randomized controlled trials in patients with cancer are sparse. Methods: Patients with breast cancer or lymphoma receiving AC were recruited from four cancer centres and randomly assigned to 3 months supervised ET. Primary outcome was change in left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) from baseline (before AC) to post AC (AC-end) compared between the EXduringAC group, who participated in an exercise intervention during AC including the provision of an activity tracker, and the control group EXpostAC, who received an activity tracker only. Secondary outcome parameters were changes in high sensitivity Troponin T (hsTnT), NT-pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), peak oxygen consumption (peak VO2) and objectively measured physical activity (PA) during this same time-period. All assessments were repeated at a 12-week follow-up from AC-end, when also the EXpostAC group had completed the ET, that started after AC. In exploratory analyses, robust linear models were performed to assess the association of PA with changes in echocardiographic parameters and biomarkers of LV function. Results: Fifty-seven patients (median age 47 years; 95% women) were randomized to EXduringAC (n = 28) and EXpostAC (n = 29) group. At AC-end, GLS deteriorated in both study groups (albeit insignificantly) with 7.4% and 1.0% in EXduringAC (n = 18) and EXpostAC (n = 18), respectively, and hsTnT and NT-proBNP significantly increased in both groups, without difference between groups for any parameter. Change in peak VO2 (−1.0 and −1.1 ml/kg/min) at AC-end was also similar between groups as was duration of moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) with a median of 33 [26, 47] min/day and 32 [21, 59] min/day in the EXduringAC and EXpostAC group, respectively. In the robust linear model including the pooled patient population, MVPA was significantly associated with a more negative GLS and lesser increase in hsTnT at AC-end. Conclusion: In this small scale RCT, supervised ET during AC was not superior to wearing a PA tracker to mitigate cardiotoxicity. The dose-response relationship between PA and cardioprotective effects during AC found in our and previous data supports the notion that PA should be recommended to patients undergoing AC.

description: Background: Sleep is important for healthy functioning in children. Numerous genetic and environmental factors, from conception onwards, may influence this phenotype. Epigenetic mechanisms such as DNA methylation have been proposed to underlie variation in sleep or may be an early-life marker of sleep disturbances. We examined if DNA methylation at birth or in school age is associated with parent-reported and actigraphy-estimated sleep outcomes in children. Methods: We meta-analysed epigenome-wide association study results. DNA methylation was measured from cord blood at birth in 11 cohorts and from peripheral blood in children (4–13 years) in 8 cohorts. Outcomes included parent-reported sleep duration, sleep initiation and fragmentation problems, and actigraphy-estimated sleep duration, sleep onset latency and wake-after-sleep-onset duration. Results: We found no associations between DNA methylation at birth and parent-reported sleep duration (n = 3658), initiation problems (n = 2504), or fragmentation (n = 1681) (p values above cut-off 4.0 × 10–8). Lower methylation at cg24815001 and cg02753354 at birth was associated with longer actigraphy-estimated sleep duration (p = 3.31 × 10–8, n = 577) and sleep onset latency (p = 8.8 × 10–9, n = 580), respectively. DNA methylation in childhood was not cross-sectionally associated with any sleep outcomes (n = 716–2539). Conclusion: DNA methylation, at birth or in childhood, was not associated with parent-reported sleep. Associations observed with objectively measured sleep outcomes could be studied further if additional data sets become available.

description: Conventional wisdom associates innovations and technologies with drivers of societal progress and promotes openness to change. However, many consumers respond with resistance to novelties. Previous literature describes resisters as passive laggards who are reluctant to change. Active opponents whoinitiate countermeasures are rarely the focus of research endeavours. We shed light on resistance leaders’ idiosyncrasies, motives and societal roles with multiple case study research, including eight cases, 21 interviews and more than 400 secondary data sources. Contradictory to conventional wisdom, we find that resistance leaders are not laggards – they have pro-societal motives, are innovative and can take two different roles to promote societal progress. Aggregators gather negative opinions of consumers and reflect the present consumer concerns about an innovation. Initiators are the first who recognize a potential problem and focus on uncertain wider implication of technologies. Our new theory leads to several managerial implications and provides avenues for future research.

description: A method of controlling the temperature of autothermal microchannel reactors is disclosed. A hierarchical control structure employs a distributed temperature controller including a phase change material and a supervisory control system including the control of one or more inputs into the reactor. The phase change material acts as a fast, distributed controller, and the supervisory controller acts over a longer time horizon to mitigate persistent disturbances. A stochastic optimization method for selecting the phase change layer thickness is employed.

description: Les vieux arbres et le bois mort sont essentiels à la biodiversité en forêt, en particulier pour les espèces dites « saproxyliques » représentant environ un quart des espèces forestières. Or, dans la forêt exploitée, les arbres sont coupés avant leur maturité biologique ; le cycle sylvigénétique est ainsi interrompu et le développement naturel ne peut pas se dérouler complètement. C’est la raison pour laquelle de gros efforts sont déployés aujourd’hui dans la plupart des pays européens pour délimiter des surfaces de taille variable sur lesquelles les peuplements forestiers peuvent atteindre leur phase de sénescence et accomplir le cycle biologique complet. Il s’agit de réserves forestières naturelles (ou intégrales) ou d’îlots de sénescence en cas de surfaces plus restreintes. En 2001, dans le cadre de sa politique forestière, l’Office fédéral de l’environnement a défini l’objectif de mettre 10 % de la surface forestière suisse en réserve, dont la moitié en réserve intégrale . Depuis 2008, elle encourage également les propriétaires forestiers à délimiter des îlots de sénescence. Ce chapitre décrit d’abord les conditions- cadre de la mise en place de réseaux d’îlots de sénescence en Suisse et donne ensuite deux exemples concrets, dans les cantons d’Argovie et de Vaud.

description: Responsible business conduct (RBC)—the corporate activities and initiatives that proactively address corporate involvement in human rights, environmental, and governance threats—has become an increasingly used means to counteract and prevent adverse effects of global businesses. Unlike other business sectors whose adverse impacts and RBC efforts (or lack thereof) are well documented, a comprehensive understanding of the state of commodity trading (CT), has been missing. In response, this paper uses a multidisciplinary literature review to provide an integrative understanding of the current state of research on the relationship between CT and RBC. Based on a review of 131 articles, we advance a granular understanding of the current and prospective role of commodity traders in RBC by grouping extant research into three overarching themes: (1) industry self-regulation and co-regulatory initiatives, (2) government-led regulatory initiatives and policy responses, and (3) company-level management strategies impacting RBC practices. In addition to illustrating the themes through existing research and identifying gaps along the overarching themes, we use our literature review to suggest avenues for future research. The paper’s overarching contribution is, first, to synthesize previously fragmented findings into a coherent framework of CT and RBC. And second, to offer guidance on how scholarship in this important domain can be developed into a more mature, legitimate and practical stream of research.

description: Aim and methods: The aim of this study was to compare the dynamics of heart rate (HR) response to exercise using a cycle ergometer (CE) and a treadmill (TM). Using a sample of 25 healthy male participants, the time constant of HR dynamics was estimated for both modalities in response to square-wave excitation. Results: The principal finding was that the time constant of heart-rate dynamics around somewhat hard exercise intensity (Borg rating of perceived exertion = 13) does not differ significantly between the CE and TM (68.7 s ± 21.5 s vs. 62.5 s ± 18.5 s [mean ± standard deviation]; CE vs. TM; p = 0.20). An observed moderate level of evidence that root-mean-square model error was higher for the CE than for the TM (2.5 bpm ± 0.5 bpm vs. 2.2 bpm ± 0.5 bpm, p = 0.059) may reflect a decrease in heart rate variability with increasing HR intensity because, in order to achieve similar levels of perceived intensity, mean heart rate for the CE was approximately 25 bpm lower than for the TM. Conclusion and significance: These results have important implications for model-based design of automatic HR controllers, because, in principle, the same dynamic controller, merely scaled according to the differing steady-state gains, should be able to be applied to the CE and TM exercise modalities.

description: A hybrid transparent conductive film, and methods for fabricating such hybrid transparent conductive films, involving the assembly of two-dimensional graphene-based materials with one-dimensional silver and/or copper nanowires with high optical transmittance and good electrical conductivity. The hybrid films are characterized by a good degree of control of the architecture at the nanoscale level, where the weakness(es) of each component are offset by the strengths of the other components. By rational design of the structure and using simple and locate-cost fabrication methods, hybrid films with sheet resistance of 26 ohm/sq and optical transmittance (at λ=550 nm) of 83% for reduced graphene oxide/silver nanowire films, and 64 ohm/sq and optical transmittance of 93.6% for monolayer graphene/silver nanowire films have been fabricated. These values are comparable to transparent conductive films based on indium tin oxide but are now able to be used in flexible electronics due to their good mechanical properties.

title: Lessons from crises for better Bank of Russia communication with financial markets
Creators: name: The Central Bank of the Russian Federation
Publisher: name: Bank of Russia
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Economics and business
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: This study is an assessment of the impact of Bank of Russia communication on volatility in financial markets, both in crisis episodes and in calmer times. This impact is analysed in terms of six characteristics of communication: volume, the intensity of signal correction, commitment to the target, the degree of invariance of communication (further, invariance), the presence or absence of a signal, and the degree of communication confidence (further, confidence). Our methods are regression models, Granger causality tests, and the PCMCI algorithm – a more advanced method to determine causal relationships in arrays with linear and non-linear dependencies for time series, allowing for mutual influence lags. We find significant differences in how financial markets perceive Bank of Russia communication, and all the variables above have an effect. In times of increased volatility, communication has a stabilising impact on markets. Outside of these episodes, its impact is rather destabilising, probably owing to the communication noise that emerges in the media landscape. In relatively quiet times, market players do not expect extraordinary communication from the central bank and may well be disconcerted by the unexpected release of such communication. Our findings are aligned with those of Caiazza et al. (2022) and Hwang, Lustenberger, and Rossi (2021). Furthermore, we discover that the Bank of Russia’s impact on the markets tends to be negative when it releases large volumes of monetary policy documents, while signal corrections and communication in between policy meetings tend to have a positive effect. At the same time, markets respond better to more specific Delphic forward guidance than to the absence of forward guidance. The communication of a commitment to the inflation target is particularly important for markets in times of crisis. Importantly, while communication has an influence on financial markets, the state of financial markets has a significant impact on the central bank’s communication tactics. Specifically, strong market fluctuations may spur the central bank's intent to give a signal and may increase the frequency of pronouncements by Bank of Russia executives on key factors of monetary policy.

description: В этом исследовании мы оценили влияние коммуникации Банка России на волатильность финансовых рынков в кризисные эпизоды и в более спокойное время. Мы изучили это влияние по шести характеристикам коммуникации: объем, интенсивность коррекции сигналов, приверженность цели, шаблонность, наличие или отсутствие сигнала, а также степень уверенности коммуникации. В качестве методов мы использовали регрессионные модели, тесты причинности Грейнджера и более продвинутый современный метод – PCMCI, который используется для установления причинных связей в массивах с линейными и нелинейными зависимостями для временных рядов, учитывая лаги взаимного влияния. Мы выявили существенные различия в восприятии финансовыми рынками коммуникации Банка России в части всех рассмотренных переменных. Во время повышенной волатильности коммуникация стабилизирующе воздействует на рынки, а вне этих эпизодов – скорее дестабилизирующе, вероятно, за счет "зашумления" информационного пространства. В относительно спокойное время рынки не ждут от центрального банка экстраординарной коммуникации, и, если такая коммуникация все же происходит, это может дезориентировать участников. Наши наблюдения согласуются с выводами Caiazza et al. (2022) и Hwang, Lustenberger, Rossi (2021). Также мы сообщаем, что публикация Банком России большого объема страниц различных документов, связанных с денежно-кредитной политикой, скорее негативно влияет на рынки, тогда как точечная коррекция сигналов и коммуникации между решениями по ключевой ставке – скорее позитивно. При этом рынки лучше реагируют на более конкретные сигналы "дельфийского" типа, чем на отсутствие направленного сигнала. Коммуникация приверженности цели по инфляции особенно важна для рынков во время кризиса. Также важно отметить, что не только коммуникация оказывает влияние на финрынки, но и ситуация на финрынках существенно сказывается на тактике коммуникации центрального банка. В частности, сильные колебания на рынке могут усиливать желание центрального банка давать сигналы, а также увеличивать частоту выходов руководства Банка России в публичное пространство с намерением высказать свою позицию по основным факторам денежно-кредитной политики.
A report from the audience: The multi-perspective Witness-Report as a Method of documenting Performance Art

description: Nowadays, performance art is more frequently on display and live performances are being purchased by art collections. In this context, the documentation of a contemporary performance is not just a representation of the work in the form of a video recording or a photograph. Under certain circumstances, it can serve as the basis for a renewed staging of the performance, or can provide information on the context of the performance event from a historical perspective. During the research for the Master’s thesis presented here, we investigated how one might create the most comprehensive information base documentation possible for such an event. We pursued the idea that this may be achieved by including multiple perspectives of the performance: the audience can contribute relevant information by providing reports from their perspective as witnesses to the event. By means of an experiment, we were able to show that multi-perspective witness reports are a useful form of documentation for performance art.

description: A staircase avalanche photodiode with a staircase multiplication region composed of an AlInAsSb alloy. The photodiode includes a buffer layer adjacent to a substrate and an avalanche multiplication region adjacent to the buffer layer, where the avalanche multiplication region includes a graded AlInAsSb alloy grown lattice-matched or psuedomorphically strained on either InAs or GaSb. The photodiode further includes a photoabsorption layer adjacent to the avalanche multiplication region, where the photoabsorption layer is utilized for absorbing photons. By utilizing AlInAsSb in the multiplication region, the photodiode exhibits a direct bandgap over a wide range of compositions as well as exhibits large conduction band offsets much larger than the smallest achievable bandgap and small valance band offsets. Furthermore, the photodiode is able to detect extremely weak light with a high signal-to-noise ratio.

description: Research questions: 1) Do exercise-based rehabilitation programs reduce re-injury following acute ankle sprain?; 2) Is rehabilitation effectiveness moderated by the exercise's therapeutic quality, content and volume? Methods: This systematic review with meta-analysis (PROSPERO: CRD42020210858) included randomized controlled trials in which adults who sustained an acute ankle sprain received exercise-based rehabilitation as an intervention. Databases CINAHL, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, PEDro and Google Scholar were searched for eligible articles (last search: March 2021). ROB II screening tool by Cochrane was used to assess risk of bias and the i-CONTENT tool was used to assess quality of interventions. Both qualitative analysis and quantitative data synthesis were performed. Results: Fourteen randomized controlled trials comprising 2182 participants were included. Five studies were judged overall low risk of bias and i-CONTENT assessment showed poor to moderate therapeutic quality of exercise across all included articles. Pooled data found significant reductions in re-injury prevalence at 12 months, in favour of the exercise-based rehabilitation group vs usual care (OR: 0.60; 95%CI: 0.36 to 0.99). Pooled data for re-injury incidence showed not-significant results (MD: 0.027; 95%CI: -2.14 to 2.19). Meta-regression displayed no statistically significant association between training volume and odds of re-injury (r = -0.00086; SD: 0.00057; 95%CI: -0.00197 to 0.00025). Results from patient-reported outcomes and clinical outcomes were inconclusive at 1 month, 3-6 months and 7-12 months of follow up. Conclusion: Exercise-based rehabilitation reduces the risk of recurrent ankle sprain compared to usual care, but there is insufficient data to determine the optimal content of exercise-based interventions. Training volume varied considerably across studies but did not affect the odds of sustaining a re-injury. Effects on patient-reported outcomes and clinical outcomes are equivocal. Future research should compare different exercise contents, training volumes and intensities after ankle sprain.

description: Obesity is a multifactorial disease with both genetic and environmental components. The prevailing view is that obesity results from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure caused by overeating and insufficient exercise. We describe another environmental element that can alter the balance between energy intake and energy expenditure: obesogens. Obesogens are a subset of environmental chemicals that act as endocrine disruptors affecting metabolic endpoints. The obesogen hypothesis posits that exposure to endocrine disruptors and other chemicals can alter the development and function of the adipose tissue, liver, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, and brain, thus changing the set point for control of metabolism. Obesogens can determine how much food is needed to maintain homeostasis and thereby increase the susceptibility to obesity. The most sensitive time for obesogen action is in utero and early childhood, in part via epigenetic programming that can be transmitted to future generations. This review explores the evidence supporting the obesogen hypothesis and highlights knowledge gaps that have prevented widespread acceptance as a contributor to the obesity pandemic. Critically, the obesogen hypothesis changes the narrative from curing obesity to preventing obesity.
DEVELOPMENT OF A CELL CULTURE, SCREENING, AND SEQUENCING METHOD FOR HIGH-THROUGHPUT ISOLATION OF HIV-POSITIVE CD4+ T-CELLS FROM HIV-INFECTED PATIENTS

description: Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is a retrovirus that targets immune cells critical to innate and adaptive immune responses in infected patients. Despite viremia suppression by antiretroviral drug treatments, chronic immune activation persists in HIV-1-infected patients, increasing their risk of HIV-associated chronic comorbidities. Defective HIV-1 proviruses harboring genetic mutations may contribute to persistent immune activation in suppressed HIV-1-infected patients through expression of canonical or novel viral proteins. In this study, we presented the steps taken to develop optimal culture conditions for CD4+ T cells from suppressed HIV-infected patients, and an unbiased nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) approach for screening of HIV-1 positive cells. Of the 507 potential HIV-1 positive clones detected, we chose three for further bioinformatic analysis that resulted in observation of two novel open reading frames within HIV-1 integrase and reverse transcriptase genes.

description: The EcoArtLab at the Bern University of the Arts is a pilot project that aims to investigate how the interplay between artistic research and human geography or climate science can best contribute to the climate change debate. In this context, a summer school on Climate and the City was held in Bern and Zurich in 2020, organized in collaboration with the Crowther Lab at ETH Zurich, the Institute of Geography at the University of Bern, and the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). Drawing on a toolbox of research strategies, thirteen students from various artistic disciplines developed individual project ideas in consultation with scientists during the summer of 2020, which were then exhibited as part of an intervention at Frau Gerolds garden in Zurich. In addition, a series of workshops, panel discussions, and regular meet-ups examined issues of environmental sustainability, such as energy consumption, for a broader audience. The paper at hand offers a glimpse into the Climate & the City summer school. Its focus is on collaboration between artistic processes and climate research, and what approaches to and formats for knowledge generation this can produce. At the same time, it also demonstrates the hurdles and problems that collaborative work brings with it.

description: Baculovirus titration methods include immunological, qPCR, flow cytometry, plaque, and mean tissue culture infection dose (TCID50) assays, which vary in expense, labor, and length. TCID50 assays are a common tool for determining viral titers and have advanced with techniques that allow the use of microplate readers for easier detection. This thesis work aimed to develop a TCID50 assay for baculovirus titration using the novel Tni-FNL Easy Titer (Tni-FNL ET) cell line. The Tni-FNL ET titration assay was designed to attempt to improve upon the currently offered Sf-9 Easy Titer (Sf-9ET) assay with the use of a microplate reader and a shorter assay time. Tni-FNL cells were stably transfected with plasmid DNA containing the mRuby3 gene under the control of the polyhedrin baculovirus promoter. Infection of the stable Tni-FNL cell line with baculovirus results in mRuby3 production due to the activation of polyhedrin promoter by viral gene products. It was observed that only plasmid DNA constructs containing a homologous region (hr) successfully produced detectable mRuby3 fluorescent protein. Polyhedrin promoter constructs with hr5 sequences were chosen to further develop the TCID50 assay. Relative fluorescent measurements, detected by the BMG Labtech Omega FLUOstar microplate reader, two standard deviations above the mean of the control wells were considered positives when performing TCID50 calculations. Calculations for viral titer were done using the Reed-Muench method. This new baculovirus titration method was able to yield the desired level of signal, as detected by a microplate reader after a 4-day incubation, to determine viral titers in the range of 105 to 1010. Further assay optimization is needed to achieve consistent, usable titers.

description: Have you ever considered, or been challenged by, the recent artistic media based on film, video and computer code, the so-called non-traditional media? Certainly—you might say—these media are, in a sense, nothing really new, since they are already a part of our increasingly mediatized culture. Indubitably, digital media cast their shadow on every aspect of modern life; they both form our culture and are being formed by it. Changeable by nature, digital media question established views considering what an artwork is, or might be, and what is being exhibited and preserved, as well as what enters the realm of cultural memory, and in which configuration. Being in the process of continuous reformulation and in and re-scription, these artworks move between formats and platforms, seemingly unconcerned with the gravity of their physical carriage—media as vehicles, as it were, of the concept, a floating synthesis of an artist’s mind and of all those engaged in the work’s genesis. But beware: the future of ever-expanding digital memory comes upon us, an immortalization gesture of sorts, directed against forgetting and oblivion. The digital cloud, multi-nodal, networked system of intra and internet, web-based mobile platforms, increasingly participatory applications, peer-to-peer formats that lack any representational content, have already commenced generating a multiplicity of mutable versions, variations, and clones. They lack reference to any of the familiar object-based (or objectified) strategies that for decades formed theories of traditional conservation. Imagine, then, the unfulfilled dreams of these stewards of heritage that attend to materialist ideologies by wishing to conserve artworks as physical objects.

description: Στην σημερινή εποχή η εργασία αποτελεί τεράστιο και αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι βαρύνουσας σημασίας στη ζωή κάθε ανθρώπου. Συνεπώς, ο κάθε εργαζόμενος θα πρέπει ιδανικά να αντλεί ικανοποίηση από το επάγγελμα στο οποίο επιδίδεται, αφιερώνοντας τις γνώσεις, τις ικανότητες και τις δεξιότητες του, αλλά και πολύτιμο προσωπικό χρόνο και ενέργεια που δεν μπορεί να πάρει πίσω. Η εργασιακή ικανοποίηση δεν συνδέεται πια μονάχα με την καθημερινή επιβίωση, αλλά πρωτίστως με την ποιότητα ζωής, τη ψυχική υγεία και ισορροπία των εργαζομένων. Εάν αυτές οι θεμελιώδεις έννοιες υπάρχουν στο επαγγελματικό περιβάλλον κάποιου, τότε είναι φυσικό εκείνος να εργάζεται πιο παραγωγικά, και να έχει πάντα κίνητρο, σημειώνοντας πρόοδο και ανάπτυξη τόσο για τον εαυτό του όσο και για την επιχείρηση/οργανισμό/φορέα στον οποίο δουλεύει. Αντίθετα, η έλλειψη των προαναφερθέντων εννοιών μπορεί μονάχα να επιφέρει δυσφορία στον εργαζόμενο, φυλακίζοντας τον σε ένα άκρως τοξικό επαγγελματικό περιβάλλον, όπου δεν μπορεί να αποδώσει σταθερά και με το μέγιστο των δυνατοτήτων του. Υπό τέτοιες συνθήκες, ο οποιοσδήποτε θα ένιωθε τη θέληση ή και την δύναμη του να εργαστεί να μειώνεται όλο και περισσότερο έως ότου βυθιστεί σε ένα εργασιακό τέλμα. Από εκεί, θα αδυνατούσε να συνεισφέρει τόσο για τον ίδιο, όσο και για τους υπόλοιπους. Η παρούσα πρωτογενής έρευνα μελετά την εργασιακή ικανοποίηση των εκπαιδευτικών της δευτεροβάθμιας βαθμίδας εκπαίδευσης, προερχόμενων τόσο από τον δημόσιο όσο και από τον ιδιωτικό τομέα, ενώ ως κεντρικός γνώμονας χρησιμοποιήθηκε η θεωρία των εργασιακών αξιών. Η έρευνα εντρυφεί στη στάση και τις απόψεις των εκπαιδευτικών σχετικά με τις συνθήκες εργασίας, το επάγγελμα και τη σύνδεση που έχουν με τον οργανισμό όπου εργάζονται. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας δείχνουν ότι προτείνεται να παρέχονται στους δασκάλους δημοτικού καλύτερο πακέτο αποδοχών, γρήγορη προαγωγή, ευκαιρίες για δημιουργική εργασία, αναγνώριση από το τμήμα, ενεργή συμμετοχή στη διαμόρφωση πολιτικής και καλύτερες συνθήκες εργασίας των ιδρυμάτων.
