description: We study elastic pion-pion scattering in global linear moose models and apply the results to a variety of Higgsless models in flat and AdS space using the Equivalence Theorem. In order to connect the global moose to Higgsless models, we first introduce a block-spin transformation which corresponds, in the continuum, to the freedom to perform coordinate transformations in the Higgsless model. We show that it is possible to make an "f-flat" deconstruction in which all of the f-constants f_j of the linear moose model are identical; the phenomenologically relevant f-flat models are those in which the coupling constants of the groups at either end of the moose are small - corresponding to the global linear moose. In studying pion-pion scattering, we derive various sum rules, including one analogous to the KSRF relation, and use them in evaluating the low-energy and high-energy forms of the leading elastic partial wave scattering amplitudes. We obtain elastic unitarity bounds as a function of the mass of the lightest KK mode and discuss their physical significance.

description: We show that a surface acoustic wave (SAW) applied across the terminals of a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) decreases both the (time-averaged) parallel and antiparallel resistances of the MTJ, with the latter decreasing much more than the former. This results in a decrease of the tunneling magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio. The coercivities of the free and fixed layer of the MTJ, however, are not affected significantly, suggesting that the SAW does not cause large-angle magnetization rotation in the magnetic layers through the inverse magnetostriction (Villari) effect at the power levels used. This study sheds light on the dynamical behavior of an MTJ under periodic compressive and tensile strain.

description: We study collision processes of moving breathers with the same frequency, traveling with opposite directions within a Klein-Gordon chain of oscillators. Two types of collisions have been analyzed: symmetric and non-symmetric, head-on collisions. For low enough frequency the outcome is strongly dependent of the dynamical states of the two colliding breathers just before the collision. For symmetric collisions, several results can be observed: breather generation, with the formation of a trapped breather and two new moving breathers; breather reflection; generation of two new moving breathers; and breather fusion bringing about a trapped breather. For non-symmetric collisions the possible results are: breather generation, with the formation of three new moving breathers; breather fusion, originating a new moving breather; breather trapping with also breather reflection; generation of two new moving breathers; and two new moving breathers traveling as a ligand state. Breather annihilation has never been observed.

description: Background: Arm levitation is an involuntary elevation of the upper limb, a manifestation of the alien-limb phenomenon. It has rarely been reported in Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease (CJD), less so as an initial manifestation Case Report: We report a 56-year-old right-handed man with rapidly progressive gait ataxia and involuntary elevation of the left upper limb. During the next few weeks, the patient developed cognitive impairment, apraxia, visual hallucinations, and myoclonus. He met diagnostic criteria for CJD. We evaluated additional published cases of early-appearance of alien-limb phenomenon in the context of CJD; there were 22 such cases and alien-limb phenomenon was the first and exclusive manifestation in only five of them. Discussion: Arm levitation may be a distinct presentation of CJD, appearing earlier than other clinical features.

Understanding distance education

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: "Get a university degree at home in your spare time!" proclaim the back covers of magazines. Is this distance education? In fact, what is distance education? There are many definitions of distance education in the literature. They represent distance educators' understanding of the field, and it is partly on the basis of this understanding that professionals develop progams and services. Do learners have the same understanding of distance education? If learners hold different views from educators, the discrepancy may create problems. Therefore, the writer investigated the conceptions of distance education held by learners who had recently begun distance studies at the university level. She interviewed fifteen learners and analyzed the interviews using phenomenography. This is a qualitative methodology with certain limitations which are discussed in the study. Phenomenogaphy attempts to reveal phenomena as they are perceived by individuals. Consequently, it was the most appropriate methodology to discover learners' conceptions of distance education. The investigator found four conceptions of distance education; they can be seen as a seed with a sprout. The kernel is distance education perceived as structure and learner actions; this conception is inward-looking. Around the kernel can develop two other conceptions: distance education as freedom and flexibility and distance education as difficulties counterbalanced by other factors. The fourth conception has two parts: distance education as a door opener (a) to future goals and (b) in everyday life. This is the sprout growing out of the kernel; it is an outward-looking conception. An analysis of the definitions of distance education in the literature revealed nine themes representing educators' understanding of distance education. There is a close relationship between these themes and two conceptions: "distance education as structure and learner actions" and "distance education as difficulties". On the other hand, important aspects of these and the other conceptions are not represented by the themes. Those missing aspects are all learner-centred. Although much is written about learners being the focus of distance education, the definitions in the literature indicate a drift from that ideal. It is time for educators to make distance education truly learner-centred.

description: Onfocus detection aims at identifying whether the focus of the individual captured by a camera is on the camera or not. Based on the behavioral research, the focus of an individual during face-to-camera communication leads to a special type of eye contact, i.e., the individual-camera eye contact, which is a powerful signal in social communication and plays a crucial role in recognizing irregular individual status (e.g., lying or suffering mental disease) and special purposes (e.g., seeking help or attracting fans). Thus, developing effective onfocus detection algorithms is of significance for assisting the criminal investigation, disease discovery, and social behavior analysis. However, the review of the literature shows that very few efforts have been made toward the development of onfocus detector due to the lack of large-scale public available datasets as well as the challenging nature of this task. To this end, this paper engages in the onfocus detection research by addressing the above two issues. Firstly, we build a large-scale onfocus detection dataset, named as the OnFocus Detection In the Wild (OFDIW). It consists of 20,623 images in unconstrained capture conditions (thus called ``in the wild'') and contains individuals with diverse emotions, ages, facial characteristics, and rich interactions with surrounding objects and background scenes. On top of that, we propose a novel end-to-end deep model, i.e., the eye-context interaction inferring network (ECIIN), for onfocus detection, which explores eye-context interaction via dynamic capsule routing. Finally, comprehensive experiments are conducted on the proposed OFDIW dataset to benchmark the existing learning models and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed ECIIN. The project (containing both datasets and codes) is at https://github.com/wintercho/focus.

description: Self-enrichment processes occurring in the early stages of a globular cluster lifetime are generally invoked to explain the observed CNONaMgAl abundance anticorrelations within individual Galactic globulars.We have tested, with fully consistent stellar evolution calculations, if theoretical isochrones for stars born with the observed abundance anticorrelations satisfy the observational evidence that objects with different degrees of these anomalies lie on essentially identical sequences in the Color-Magnitude-Diagram (CMD). To this purpose, we have computed for the first time low-mass stellar models and isochrones with an initial metal mixture that includes the extreme values of the observed abundance anticorrelations, and varying initial He mass fractions. Comparisons with 'normal' alpha-enhanced isochrones and suitable Monte Carlo simulations that include photometric errors show that a significant broadening of the CMD sequences occurs only if the helium enhancement is extremely large (in this study, when Y=0.35) in the stars showing anomalous abundances. Stellar luminosity functions up to the Red Giant Branch tip are also very weakly affected, apart from - depending on the He content of the polluting material - the Red Giant Branch bump region. We also study the distribution of stars along the Zero Age Horizontal Branch, and derive general constraints on the relative location of objects with and without abundance anomalies along the observed horizontal branches of globular clusters.

description: We review some methods recently used in the literature to detect the existence of a certain degree of common behavior of stock returns belonging to the same economic sector. Specifically, we discuss methods based on random matrix theory and hierarchical clustering techniques. We apply these methods to a set of stocks traded at the New York Stock Exchange. The investigated time series are recorded at a daily time horizon. All the considered methods are able to detect economic information and the presence of clusters characterized by the economic sector of stocks. However, different methodologies provide different information about the considered set. Our comparative analysis suggests that the application of just a single method could not be able to extract all the economic information present in the correlation coefficient matrix of a set of stocks.

Based on the data of the present experimental study, we were able to conclude, that and administration in doses approximately three times normal range induces in normal anesthetized and moderately atherosclerotic N.Z.W rabbits a reduction in blood pressure at the end off the infussion, which is restored in the process. From the end of the infussion and for a time period of 40 min we observed a negative effect on left ventricular systolic function and relaxation. Additionally, we observed an improvement in aortic function only in the atherosclerotic rabbit population

description: In open quantum systems, entanglement can vanish faster than coherence. This phenomenon is usually called sudden death of entanglement. In this paper sudden death of entanglement is discussed from a geometrical point of view, in the context of two qubits. A classification of possible scenarios is presented, with important known examples classified. Theoretical and experimental construction of other examples is suggested as well as large dimensional and multipartite versions of the effect.

Optimal False Discovery Rate Control for Large Scale Multiple Testing with Auxiliary Information

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)

description: Large-scale multiple testing is a fundamental problem in high dimensional statistical inference. It is increasingly common that various types of auxiliary information, reflecting the structural relationship among the hypotheses, are available. Exploiting such auxiliary information can boost statistical power. To this end, we propose a framework based on a two-group mixture model with varying probabilities of being null for different hypotheses a priori, where a shape-constrained relationship is imposed between the auxiliary information and the prior probabilities of being null. An optimal rejection rule is designed to maximize the expected number of true positives when average false discovery rate is controlled. Focusing on the ordered structure, we develop a robust EM algorithm to estimate the prior probabilities of being null and the distribution of $p$-values under the alternative hypothesis simultaneously. We show that the proposed method has better power than state-of-the-art competitors while controlling the false discovery rate, both empirically and theoretically. Extensive simulations demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method. Datasets from genome-wide association studies are used to illustrate the new methodology.

Evidence of solar-cycle related structural changes in the solar convection zone
Creators: name: Basu, Sarbani
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: While it has been relatively easy to determine solar-cycle related changes in solar dynamics, determining changes in structure in the deeper layers of the Sun has proved to be difficult. By using helioseismic data obtained over two solar cycles, and sacrificing resolution in favour of lower uncertainties, we show that there are significant changes in the solar convection zone, and perhaps even below it. Using MDI data, we find a relative squared sound-speed difference of $(2.56\pm 0.71)\times 10^{-5}$ at the convection-zone base between the maximum of solar Cycle~23 and the minimum between Cycles~23 and 24. The squared sound-speed difference for the maximum of Cycle~24 obtained with HMI data is $(1.95\pm 0.69)\times 10^{-5}$. GONG data support these results. We also find that the sound speed in the solar convection zone decreases compared to the sound speed below it as the Sun becomes more active. We find evidence of changes in the radial derivative of the sound-speed difference between the solar minimum and other epochs at the base of the convection zone implying possible small changes in the position of the convection-zone base, however, the results are too noisy to make any definitive estimates of the change.

description: We apply the spectral method, recently developed by the authors, to calculate the statistics of a reaction-limited multi-step birth-death process, or chemical reaction, that includes as elementary steps branching A->2A and annihilation 2A->0. The spectral method employs the generating function technique in conjunction with the Sturm-Liouville theory of linear differential operators. We focus on the limit when the branching rate is much higher than the annihilation rate, and obtain accurate analytical results for the complete probability distribution (including large deviations) of the metastable long-lived state, and for the extinction time statistics. The analytical results are in very good agreement with numerical calculations. Furthermore, we use this example to settle the issue of the "lacking" boundary condition in the spectral formulation.

description: In the currently accepted paradigm, dark matter is hypothesized as an explanation of the flat rotation curves of galaxies under the assumption of virialized orbits. The use of millisecond pulsar timing as a probe of Galactic dark matter content is explored as a means of relaxing this assumption. A method of inference of the Galactic potential using the frequency derivative $\dotν$ is produced, and an estimate for a virialized Galactic rotation curve is given through direct observation of acceleration. The data set used includes 210 pulsars with known $\dotν$ and astrometric properties, a subset of which also have measured $\ddotν$. In principle, this enables the exploration of kinematic effects, but in practice, $\ddotν$ values are found to be too imprecise at present to adequately constrain radial velocities of pulsars. Additionally, surface magnetic field strengths are inferred from $\dotν$ and the magnetic spin-down contribution to $\ddotν$ is estimated. For several pulsars the radial velocity is known, and the kinematic contribution to $\ddotν$ is estimated accordingly. The binary orbital periods of PSR J1713+0747 and other binary pulsars are also used to constrain Galactic mass density models.

Psychological control as antecedent of life satisfaction in retirement
Creators: name: Raber, Charlotte
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A review of literature on life satisfaction in retirement has revealed a number of factors which offer contradictory results. This thesis is an investigation of the relationship between psychological control and several predictors of life satisfaction in retirement, viz., perceptions of health, attitude towards retirement, planning for the future, leisure activity, perceptions, and expectations. Of special interest is the degree to which psychological control interacts with and, thus, moderates the impact of these predictors on life satisfaction. A self-administered questionnaire was mailed to a socio-economically homogeneous population of retired iron workers on pension plan in the Greater Vancouver area in British Columbia (n=190). The 85 respondents were all male. Pearson Correlation Coefficients and a two-way analysis of variance were used in the statistical analysis. The main findings are as follows: a) with the exception of perceptions and expectations, the correlations were positive and significant at the .05 level; b) in the analysis of variance the predicted interaction effects were not significant; c) a significant main effect at the .05 level on life satisfaction was found only for perceptions of health; d) the level of life satisfaction in retirement was independent of socio-economic status. The study results support the importance of psychological control in life satisfaction in retirement.

On the Momentum Diffusion of Radiating Ultrarelativistic Electrons in a Turbulent Magnetic Field

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008

description: Here we investigate some aspects of stochastic acceleration of ultrarelativistic electrons by magnetic turbulence. In particular, we discuss the steady-state energy spectra of particles undergoing momentum diffusion due to resonant interactions with turbulent MHD modes, taking rigorously into account direct energy losses connected with different radiative cooling processes. For the magnetic turbulence we assume a given power spectrum of the type $W(k) \propto k^{-q}$. In contrast to the previous approaches, however, we assume a finite range of turbulent wavevectors $k$, consider a variety of turbulence spectral indexes $1 =< q =< 2$, and concentrate on the case of a very inefficient particle escape from the acceleration site. We find that for different cooling and injection conditions, stochastic acceleration processes tend to establish a modified ultrarelativistic Maxwellian distribution of radiating particles, with the high-energy exponential cut-off shaped by the interplay between cooling and acceleration rates. For example, if the timescale for the dominant radiative process scales with the electron momentum as $\propto p^r$, the resulting electron energy distribution is of the form $n_e(p) \propto p^2 exp[ - (1 / a) (p / p_eq)^a]$, where $a = 2-q-r$, and $p_eq$ is the equilibrium momentum defined by the balance between stochastic acceleration and energy losses timescales. We also discuss in more detail the synchrotron and inverse-Compton emission spectra produced by such an electron energy distribution, taking into account Klein-Nishina effects. We point out that the curvature of the high frequency segments of these spectra, even though being produced by the same population of electrons, may be substantially different between the synchrotron and inverse-Compton components.

description: Tra i progetti di rigenerazione urbana a base culturale che agiscono dentro spazi in attesa di un potenziamento delle funzioni pubbliche esistenti (Albano e Mela, 2020), un ruolo di particolare rilievo è assunto oggi dalle esperienze condotte dalle scuole con la componente proattiva dell'associazionismo, del Terzo settore e della società civile. In queste circostanze, la scuola da istituzione chiusa nella sua missione formativa emerge al contrario come un dispositivo culturale locale vivo e pulsante perché abilitante di una pluralità di relazioni, ma anche di occasioni di progetto per gli spazi dentro e oltre il servizio scolastico. Per parlare, dunque, di interazioni inedite tra soggetti educativi (Istituzioni e comunità educanti) e progetto di città, il contributo ripercorre criticamente un caso emblematico: quello della Scuola Aperta e Partecipata Di Donato nel rione Esquilino della città di Roma.

description: In this work, we have adopted gravitational decoupling by Minimal Geometric Deformation (MGD) approach and have developed an anisotropic version of well-known Tolman VII isotropic solution in the framework of $f(R, T)$ gravity, where $R$ is Ricci scalar and $T$ is trace of energy momentum tensor. The set of field equations has been developed with respect to total energy momentum tensor, which combines effective energy momentum tensor in $f(R,T)$ gravity and additional source $ϕ_{ij}$. Following MGD approach, the set of field equations has been separated into two sections. One section represents $f(R, T)$ field equations, while the other is related to the source $ϕ_{ij}$. The matching conditions for inner and outer geometry have also been discussed and an anisotropic solution has been developed using mimic constraint for radial pressure. In order to check viability of the solution, we have considered observation data of three different compact star models, named PSR J1614-2230, PSR 1937+21 and SAX J1808.4-3658 and have discussed thermodynamical properties analytically and graphically. The energy conditions are found to be satisfied for the three compact stars. The stability analysis has been presented through causality condition and Herrera's cracking concept, which ensures physical acceptability of the solution.

description: Στην παρούσα διατριβή αναλύεται η πολιτική συμπεριφορά των κατοίκων του Νομού Καστοριάς κατά την περίοδο 1922-1949. Συγκεκριμένα μελετάται η επιρροή τριών βασικών παραγόντων στις πολιτικές συμπεριφορές, της εθνοτικής ταυτότητας, της κοινωνικής θέσης και της πολιτικής τους κράτους απέναντι στους κατοίκους της περιοχής. Το βασικό συμπέρασμα που προκύπτει από την έρευνα είναι ότι η εθνοτική ταυτότητα είναι μέρος της πολιτικής συμπεριφιράς και όχι αίτιό της, Αντίθετα καθοριστικός είναι ο ρόλος των κοινωνικών συγκρούσεων(ιδίως αυτής μεταξύ σλαβόφωνων ντόπιων και προσφύγων) προκειμένου να καταλάβουμε τις πολιτικές επιλογές των ανθρώπων
description: What is examined in this thesis the political behaviours of the inhabitants of Kastoria during the period 1922-1949. The thesis focuses upon three main factors : ethnic identities social status and state policies. The main conclusion is that ethnic identity comes as a part of political behaviour and not as one its reasons. Conversely the role of social conflicts(especially between the slav speaking inhabitants of Kastoria and the refugees from Asia Minor) appears to be crucial in the understanding of the political choices of the people
Ανάπτυξη μεθόδου προσδιορισμού θρομβίνης και μελέτη του μηχανισμού πήξης του αίματος

description: Ο μηχανισμός της πήξης περιλαμβάνει μια σειρά αλληλοδιάδοχων πρωεολυτικών αντιδράσεων που οδηγούν στην τελική αντίδραση της μετατροπής της προθρομβίνης σε θρομβίνη. Ο παράγοντας VIIa κατέχει ιδιαίτερη θέση δεδομένου ότι μπορεί να ενεργοποιήσει και τον FX και τον FIX. Η παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή εστιάστηκε περισσότερο στην αντίδραση της δημιουργίας θρομβίνης μέσα από την οποία μελετήθηκε ο μηχανισμός της πήξης και έγινε μια προσπάθεια διασαφήνισης του τρόπου δράσης της περίσσειας του FVIIa. Αρχικά, αναπτύχθηκε μια μέθοδος(με τη βοήθεια του Western Blotting) η οποία έδωσε τη δυνατότητα της (οπτικής) παρακολούθησης της κινητικής μετατροπής της προθρομβίνης σε θρομβίνη. Μετά τη βελτιστοποίηση της συγκεκριμένης μεθόδου μελετήθηκαν 1ον εφαρμογές σε δείγματα με έλλειψη συγκεκριμένων παραγόντων, 2ον ο μηχανισμός της πήξης σε παθολογικές περιπτώσεις, 3ον η επίπτωση της προσθήκης της περίσσειας του FVIIa σε όλα τα παραπάνω δείγματα καθώς και ο μηχανισμός δράσης του διαμέσου της μελέτης της συμμετοχής των αιμοπεταλίων, του ιστικού παράγοντα κτλ. Σε κάθε περίπτωση το αποτέλεσμα της προσθήκης της περίσσειας του FVIIa ήταν η επιτάχυνση της εμφάνισης θρομβίνης. οσον αφορά το μηχανισμό δράσης του FVIIa φαίνεται να είναι πολλαπλός και ερμηνεύεται ανάλογα με την περίπτωση
description: Blood coagulation mechanism consists of sequential reactions leading to the reaction where prothrombin is transformed into thrombin. Factor FVIIa has culminant position in this mechanism, given its ability to activate both factor IX and X. The present work was mainly focused to thrombin generation via the study of the aforementioned reaction. We studied the mechanism of coagulation and more particularly, the mechanism of action of FVIIa in excess. We developed initially an original specific method(with the aid of Western blotting); this method allowed monitoring of the kinetics of thromb in generation. After all necessary optimization studies, the follow studies have been carried out. 1)Application in samples depleted of different factors 2)coagulation mechanism in various coagulation pathological conditions 3)the mechanism of action of FVIIa in excess. We investigated the effect of platelets, tissue factor etc. In every case we studied the effect of the addition(or administration)of FVIIa was an early throumbin generation. Platelets or tissue factor enchance the action of FVIIa. The mechanism of action of FVIIa in excess was different according to the case

description: Two main methods have been proposed to derive the acoustical radiation force and torque applied by an arbitrary acoustic field on a particle: The first one relies on the plane wave angular spectrum decomposition of the incident field (see [Sapozhnikov and Bailey, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 133, 661 (2013)] for the force and [Gong and Baudoin, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 148, 3131 (2020)] for the torque), while the second one relies on the decomposition of the incident field into a sum of spherical waves, the so-called multipole expansion (see [Silva, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 130, 3541 (2011)] and [Baresh et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 133, 25 (2013)] for the force, and [Silva et al., EPL 97, 54003 (2012)] and [Gong et al., Phys. Rev. Applied 11, 064022 (2019)] for the torque). In this paper, we formally establish the equivalence between the expressions obtained with these two methods for both the force and torque.

description: We propose a framework to construct the ground-state energy and density matrix of an N-electron system by solving selfconsistently a set of single-particle equations. The method can be viewed as a non-trivial extension of the Kohn-Sham scheme (which is embedded as a special case). It is based on separating the Green's function into a quasi-particle part and a background part, and expressing only the background part as a functional of the density matrix. The calculated single-particle energies and wave functions have a clear physical interpretation as quasiparticle energies and orbitals.

Περιθωριακές ομάδες και συμπεριφορές στην οθωμανική Κωνσταντινούπολη, 16ος-18ος αιώνας

description: Εξετάζονται ομάδες και συμπεριφορές που σχετίζονται με το περιθώριο της κοινωνίας, όπως οριζόταν αυτό από την κυρίαρχη οθωμανική ιδεολογία στην Κωνσταντινούπολη του 16ου, του 17ου και του 18ου αιώνα. Οι πηγές που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν περιλαμβάνουν τόσο ανέκδοτο(ιεροδικαστικούς κώδικες) όσο και εκδεδομένο υλικό(κυρίως αφηγηματικά έργα οθωμανών συγγραφέων). Αρχικά αναλύονται οι βάσεις της πολιτικής θεωρίας των Οθωμανών, η κοινωνική ηθική και το αντίστοιχο λεξιλόγιο, καθώς και το νομικό, δικαστικό και αστυνομικό πλαίσιο που αναλάμβανε την προστασία της κοινωνικής τάξης από παραβατικά στοιχεία. Στη συνέχεια γίνεται αναφορά σε ομάδες που μπορούν να θεωρηθούν είτε αποκλεισμένες, όπως φτωχοί, οι εσωτερικοί μετανάστες, οι δούλοι και οι Τσιγγάνοι, είτε αποκλίνουσες, όπως οι θαμώνες των καφενείων και των ταβερνών, είτε δυνάμει παραβατικές, όπβς οι διάφοροι στρατιώτες και ιεροσπουδαστές. Κατόπιν εξετάζεται το ζήτημα του αστικού υπόκοσμου, με ιδιαίτερη αναφορά στις περιπτώσεις πορνείας. Τέλος ορισμένες ομάδες πληθυσμού ανήκαν σε ένα περιθώριο αποδεκτό ή και προστατευόμενο από το κράτος, όπως οι ζητιάνοι ή οι ψυχικά ασθενείς, ενώ ο κανόνας της ισλαμικής ορθοδοξίας έθετε υπό διωγμόν όσους ετερόδοξους ή αιρετικούς απέκλιναν από αυτόν. Συμπερασματικά μπορεί να ειπωθεί ότι το οθωμανικό κράτος δεν απέκλειε εξ ορισμού κάποια κοινωνική ομάδα, αλλά επεδίωκε να εντάξει κατά το δυνατόν τους δυνάμει ή όντως περιθωριακούς στην οργανωτική δομή της πόλης, ούτως ώστε να μπορεί να τους ελέγχει
description: The thesis studies groups and behaviours related to the social margin, as defined by the Ottoman dominant ideology in 16th-to 18th century Istanbul. The sources used include both court registers and narrative sources by various authors, mainly Ottoman. Marginality can be defined through Ottoman political theory, social ethics and vocabulary, as well as the legal, judicial and police mechanisms. The thesis examines groups that can be considered excluded(poor, immigrants, Gypsies), deviant(debauchees in coffehouses or taverns) or potentially delinquant(military, medrese students). Next there follows an analysis of the urban underworld and criminality. Other groups belonged to an "accepted margin", such as beggars or madmen; heterodox groups or individuals, on the other hand, could be persecuted ad libitum. The Ottoman state did not exclude any social group by definition; instead, it tried to incorporate potential or actual marginal people into structure of the city, so as to control them
