description: The report presents the results of using the nonperturbative kinetic approach to describe the excitation of plasma oscillations in a graphene monolayer. As examples the constant electric field as well as an electric field of short high-frequency pulses are considered. The dependence of the induced conduction and polarization currents characteristics on the pulse intensity, pulse duration, and polarization is investigated. The characteristics of secondary electromagnetic radiation resulting from the alternating currents is investigated. The nonlinear response to the external electric field characterizes graphene as an active medium. Qualitative agreement is obtained with the existing experimental result of measurements of currents in constant electric fields and radiation from graphene in the case of excitation by means of the infrared and optical pulses.

description: We discuss two models with 1 extra CP phase in $b\leftrightarrow s$ transition. The CP phase $\arg (V_{t^\prime s}V_{t^\prime b})$ with fourth generations, previously ignored, could impact on $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$, $Δm_{B_s}$ and $\sin2Φ_{B_s}$, but does not affect EM and strong penguins. With SUSY at TeV scale, a right-handed ``$\widetilde{sb}_{1}$'' squark can be driven light by flavor mixing. It does not affect $b\to s\ell^+\ell^-$, but can generate $S_{ϕK_S} < 0$ while giving $S_{η^\prime K_S} \sim \sin2Φ_{B_d} \cong0.74$. $B_s$ mixing and $\sin2Φ_{B_s}$ would likely be large, and $S_{K_Sπ^0γ}\neq 0$ in $B^0\to K^{*0}γ$ is promising.

What notions of education are embedded in the international baccalaureate and what are the considerations and consequences for educational leaders?
Creators: name: Morfea, Peter Joseph
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In this paper, notions of education are examined against the ideals and mission of the International Baccalaureate Organisation (IBO) and its curriculum programmes. This paper considers the consequences for IB leaders in upholding these particular values. Leadership matters because principals influence a measureable, though indirect effect, on school success and student achievement through changing school-wide conditions like classroom practices and teacheer motivation. Adopting the perspective that educational and schooling leadership is necessary for IB World Schools to flourish, I will examine the importance of sustainable leadership; emotional intelligence; collaborative leadership and values-driven leadership. My main contention is that the IB mission and Learner Profile provides an IB notion of education, and for IB schools to be truly "educational" school leaders must mode these values and engage all stakeholders in a dialogue around them. Currently this is not happening in enough IB World Schools.

description: We perform three-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations of aspherical core-collapse supernovae focusing on the matter mixing in SN 1987A. The impacts of four progenitor (pre-supernova) models and parameterized aspherical explosions are investigated. The four pre-supernova models include a blue supergiant (BSG) model based on a slow merger scenario developed recently for the progenitor of SN 1987A (Urushibata et al. 2018). The others are a BSG model based on a single star evolution and two red supergiant (RSG) models. Among the investigated explosion (simulation) models, a model with the binary merger progenitor model and with an asymmetric bipolar-like explosion, which invokes a jetlike explosion, best reproduces constraints on the mass of high velocity $^{56}$Ni, as inferred from the observed [Fe II] line profiles. The advantage of the binary merger progenitor model for the matter mixing is the flat and less extended $ρ\,r^3$ profile of the C+O core and the helium layer, which may be characterized by the small helium core mass. From the best explosion model, the direction of the bipolar explosion axis (the strongest explosion direction), the neutron star (NS) kick velocity, and its direction are predicted. Other related implications and future prospects are also given.

description: Η επόμενη γενιά δικτύων κινητής τηλεφωνίας έχει αυξήσει τις προσδοκίες και έχει προκαλέσει μια εντελώς νέα προσέγγιση στο μέλλον δικτύωσης. Οι ανάγκες του 5G για μεγάλες ταχύτητες και μικρό latency οδηγεί στην εύρεση νέων λύσεων για δικτύωση, καθώς οι παραδοσιακές αρχιτεκτονικές δεν επαρκούν. Η δικτύωση που καθορίζεται από λογισμικό (SDN) έχει σχεδιαστεί για να κάνει τα δίκτυα πιο ευέλικτα. Το SDN ορίστηκε αρχικά ως μια προσέγγιση - για το σχεδιασμό, την κατασκευή και τη διαχείριση δικτύων - που διαχωρίζει τα επίπεδα ελέγχου και προώθησης του δικτύου, επιτρέποντας ο έλεγχος του δικτύου να γίνει άμεσα προγραμματιζόμενος. Στην παρούσα διπλωματική εξετάστηκε η λειτουργία των δικτύων SDN και πως θα μπορούσε να χρησιμοποιηθούν σε συνδυασμό με τα δίκτυα 5G. Για την δημιουργία των τοπολογιών και την εκτέλεση των προσομοιώσεων, χρησιμοποιήθηκε ο εξομοιωτής Mininet, ενώ για την δημιουργία του ελεγκτή χρησιμοποιήθηκε το πρωτόκολλο OpenFlow
description: The next generation of mobile networks has raised expectations and sparked a whole new approach to networking in the future. The needs of 5G for high speeds and low latency lead to finding new solutions for networking, as traditional architectures are not enough. Software defined networking (SDN) is designed to make networks more flexible. SDN was originally defined as an approach - for designing, building, and managing networks - by separating control level and forwarding level, allowing network control to be instantly programmable. In this thesis, we examine the operation of SDN networks and how they could be used in combination with 5G networks. The Mininet emulator was used to create the topologies and run the simulations, while the OpenFlow protocol was used to create the controller

description: Violence against women in sport is pervasive. Prevalence rates of interpersonal violence range from 26% to 74% across psychological, physical, and sexual violence. This review synthesizes adult women’s experiences of gender-based interpersonal violence in sport. A systematic review of qualitative studies was conducted. Five databases were searched, including CINAHL, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, PsycINFO, and Sociological Abstracts. In total, 1,617 records were retrieved and screened. Twenty-five records representing 24 studies were eligible for inclusion. Following a meta-ethnographic approach, both authors synthesized first- (participants) and second-(researcher) order constructs to create a new interpretation (third-order construct) beyond the individual studies reviewed. A feminist socio-ecological lens was applied. Five themes were constructed: women’s safety work, the normalization of abusive behaviors in the sports context, sport family violence, organizational impotence and hostility, and women’s status in a patriarchal system. Women’s experiences of abuse are mapped within and across the individual, relational, organizational, and cultural levels of the socio-ecological model, with (lack of) power being a central factor within each level as well as flowing between the levels. A fifth socio-ecological level was developed pertaining to the unique context of sport—that of the sport family. This sits between the relational and organizational levels of the model and covers both intense familial relationships and patriarchal familial organizational structures in sport that facilitate and silence the abuse. Sporting bodies must co-design interventions encompassing all socio-ecological levels to address gender-based violence in sport.

description: This scoping review seeks to identify existing evidence of social cognition interventions for patients with first-episode psychosis. This review followed the five steps of Arksey and O'Malley's scoping review framework. Studies published between October 2002 and June 2023 were examined in the following six databases: PsycArticles, PsycINFO, CINAHL, EMBASE, Medline, and Scopus. We also searched grey literature and references of included studies. Studies reporting on social cognition interventions for adults with first-episode psychosis were included. Review findings were synthesised employing the PAGER framework. The PRISMA Extension for Scoping Reviews guideline was followed to prepare and report this manuscript. Twelve articles were included in this review. Most of the social cognition interventions were provided in out-patient clinics. Four studies provided board-based social cognition interventions, while the remaining eight studies introduced interventions to targeted domains of social cognition. All studies reported an improvement in patients' social functioning and social skills after receiving the intervention. Barriers and facilitators for patients with first-episode psychosis in receiving social cognition intervention were also summarised. Future studies could be conducted to explore the long-term effects of social cognition interventions, particularly for in-patient setting and the domain of social perception.

description: We use the microscopic Hartree-Fock approximation to investigate various quantum phase transitions associated with possible spontaneous symmetry breaking induced by a tilted magnetic field in the integral quantum Hall regime of wide parabolic wells and zero width double well (bilayer) systems. We propose a general class of variational wavefunctions that describe several types of parity, spin, and translational symmetry breaking, including spin and charge density wave phases. Zero temperature quantum phase diagrams for these systems are calculated in the parameter regime of experimental interest. We discuss the symmetry properties of our predicted quantum phase diagrams and give a unified picture of these novel many-body phases. A conceptually new aspect of our theory is the predicted possibility for the spontaneous breaking of parity symmetry, which indicates a ``ferroelectric'' quantum order in integer quantum Hall systems and has not been considered in the literature before.

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In this paper I narrate my high school experience through the lens of a Critical Race and a LatCrit theoretical framework and methodology. The issue of race is dealt with through my own experience and provides a narrative to analyze, question, and understand what I experienced as a student of color in the American education system. The practices of “passing” as white and calling someone an “Oreo” are contextualized and analyzed through my own experiential knowledge and voice. Systemic racism in education is questioned through some of the tenets of Critical Race Theory and LatCrit, by utilizing my own story as the unit of analysis regarding school issues such as tracking and standardized testing. This is done with the goal of advancing the rights of students of color and resisting the pernicious oppression of systemic racism in education.

description: We study the perturbative stability of magnetic black holes in a general class of nonlinear electrodynamics, where the Lagrangian is given by a general function of the field strength of electromagnetic field $F_{μν}$ and its Hodge dual $\widetilde{F}_{μν}$. We derive sufficient conditions for the stability of the black holes. We apply the stability conditions to Bardeen's regular black holes, black holes in Euler-Heisenberg theory, and black holes in Born-Infeld theory. As a result, we obtain a sufficient condition for the stability of Bardeen's black holes, which restricts $F_{μν}\widetilde{F}^{μν}$ dependence of the Lagrangian. We also show that black holes in Euler-Heisenberg theory are stable for a sufficiently small magnetic charge. Moreover, we prove the stability of black holes in the Born-Infeld electrodynamics even when including $F_{μν}\widetilde{F}^{μν}$ dependence.

description: It is shown that preferential concentrations of inertial (finite-size) particle suspensions in turbulent flows follow from the dissipative nature of their dynamics. In phase space, particle trajectories converge toward a dynamical fractal attractor. Below a critical Stokes number (non-dimensional viscous friction time), the projection on position space is a dynamical fractal cluster; above this number, particles are space filling. Numerical simulations and semi-heuristic theory illustrating such effects are presented for a simple model of inertial particle dynamics.

description: Price uncertainty is a major constraint to a sustained increase in staple food production. This paper reviews the trends and patterns of addressing this age-old problem over the course of the past several decades. Farmers in most developed countries and many Asian and Latin American countries have relied on a variety of public support programs as well as market-based marketing and price-risk management instruments to boost grain production. By contrast, inadequate support programs and weak market-based production services have led to stagnating production and increasing dependence on food imports in many poor African countries. State-led stabilization efforts that utilize and support private sector operations, complement market-based risk management instruments and address coordination failure and missing markets provide a better incentive to increase grain production. A more coordinated market stabilization effort is required in the future as a number of long-term structural factors such as climate change, water scarcity, high oil prices, soil degradation, biofuel production, and speculation in financial markets, point to a scenario of more volatile grain prices.

description: We report the synthesis, electronic properties, and electronic structure of LaIrSi-type BaPtP with a noncentrosymmetric cubic crystal structure. Electrical resistivity and heat capacity data taken by using polycrystalline samples indicated that BaPtP is a metal, which was further supported by first principles calculations. A polycrystalline sample of BaPtP showed a zero resistivity below 0.2 K due to the superconducting transition. The first principles calculation results indicated that the spin splitting at around the Fermi energy is large in BaPtP. These results suggest that BaPtP is likely to exhibit interesting physical properties caused by a strong spin-orbit coupling of 5d electrons in the Pt atoms.

description: In the last years, automatic classification of variable stars has received substantial attention. Using machine learning techniques for this task has proven to be quite useful. Typically, machine learning classifiers used for this task require to have a fixed training set, and the training process is performed offline. Upcoming surveys such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) will generate new observations daily, where an automatic classification system able to create alerts online will be mandatory. A system with those characteristics must be able to update itself incrementally. Unfortunately, after training, most machine learning classifiers do not support the inclusion of new observations in light curves, they need to re-train from scratch. Naively re-training from scratch is not an option in streaming settings, mainly because of the expensive pre-processing routines required to obtain a vector representation of light curves (features) each time we include new observations. In this work, we propose a streaming probabilistic classification model; it uses a set of newly designed features that work incrementally. With this model, we can have a machine learning classifier that updates itself in real time with new observations. To test our approach, we simulate a streaming scenario with light curves from CoRot, OGLE and MACHO catalogs. Results show that our model achieves high classification performance, staying an order of magnitude faster than traditional classification approaches.
Full counting statistics of a chaotic cavity with asymmetric leads

description: We study the statistics of charge transport in a chaotic cavity attached to external reservoirs by two openings of different size which transmit non-equal number of quantum channels. An exact formula for the cumulant generating function has been derived by means of the Keldysh-Green function technique within the circuit theory of mesoscopic transport. The derived formula determines the full counting statistics of charge transport, i.e., the probability distribution and all-order cumulants of current noise. It is found that, for asymmetric cavities, in contrast to other mesoscopic systems, the third-order cumulant changes the sign at high biases. This effect is attributed to the skewness of the distribution of transmission eigenvalues with respect to forward/backward scattering. For a symmetric cavity we find that the third cumulant approaches a voltage-independent constant proportional to the temperature and the number of quantum channels in the leads.

Οι διαδικασίες ενδεικτικά περιλαμβάνουν τη συντήρηση μητρώου λογισμικού και συνεργατών, τον τρόπο υποδοχής και διεκπεραίωσης αιτημάτων, την παρακολούθηση της κοινότητας και τις δράσεις δημοσιότητας και εκπαίδευσης. Το περίγραμμα που σχηματίστηκε αναλύεται πιο διεξοδικά στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο, στο οποίο περιγράφονται σε βήματα οι διαδικασίες που ακολουθούνται από το γραφείο σε δομή διοίκησης ποιότητας. Η κάθε διαδικασία περιγράφεται, αναλύεται σε βήματα και συνδέεται με άλλες διαδικασίες και παραδοτέα τα οποία ελέγχονται σε επιθεωρήσεις ποιότητας
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of free (libre) open-source software (FLOSS) adaptation in the private and public sector as well as the operation of open-source program offices. We follow the progress of FLOSS until today and we present its advantages, disadvantages and license types. We then study the needs that drive a private company or a public institution towards creating their own open-source program office along with the policies developed around it. A description of the frame of operation of the program office is followed by the organization diagram and the procedures of operation. These include the maintenance of a software and partners registry, the workflow for handling incoming requests, monitoring the community activity and training services. The operation is examined more thoroughly in the last chapter in which the procedures are described in steps in order for a quality management model to be applicable. Each procedure is described in steps, connected to other procedures and its own outputs in a way that quality control is possible

description: Upper bounds on the CP asymmetry relevant for leptogenesis are reexamined and found weaker than in previous literature, both for hierarchical and for quasi-degenerate right-handed neutrinos. Successful leptogenesis implies the usual lower bound on right-handed neutrino masses, and an upper bound on left-handed neutrino masses (which we obtain to be 0.15eV at 3sigma) only if right-handed neutrinos are assumed to be much more hierarchical than left-handed neutrinos. Otherwise both bounds can be considerably relaxed. The constraint on light neutrino masses varies assuming different interpretations of why neutrinos should be quasi-degenerate. With conservative assumptions, we find that a mild quasi-degeneracy allows neutrinos heavier than an eV compatibly with leptogenesis. We also extend computations of thermal leptogenesis to an alternative model of neutrino mass mediated by fermion triplets which was never considered so far for leptogenesis. Leptogenesis can be successful despite the effect of gauge interactions, resulting in only slightly stronger constraints on neutrino masses.

description: What is a bowling alley without its gleaming wooden floors, its leathery-smelling shoe cubbies, and its black-lit Friday nights? While its bowling surfaces and mechanics are highly specific, its other spaces of sociability and support are less so and offer the architect opportunities to intertwine these conditions. This project explored the rebuilding of the the Varsity Ridge Bowl on Vancouver’s west side, transposing an originally subterranean and horizontal site to a vertical one. The parameters of the project are rich with possibilities for spatial explorations of two different/similar programs: a 15 lane bowling alley and a nightclub on a narrow site (25’) in the heart of the entertainment district on Granville Street. The project is an exploration of shared experiences between two programs, via visual and auditory (dis)connection. The strict dimensions of the bowling alley provide a repeating horizontal element on every other floor, while the club takes a faceted amorphous form in the spaces between. With limited site area the entire volume needed to be utilized by using an efficient circulation strategy. Two sets of scissor stairs address this need while keeping the programs physically separate. Twisting together the separate vertical circulation allowed for shared experiences between bowlers and clubbers in this normally peripheral experience. This spatial element defines the facade and expresses the larger architectural concept.

description: Traditional pen and paper exams are inadequate for modern university programming courses as they are misaligned with pedagogies and learning objectives that target practical coding ability. Unfortunately, many institutions lack the resources or space to be able to run assessments in dedicated computer labs. This has motivated the development of bring-your-own-device (BYOD) exam formats, allowing students to program in a similar environment to how they learnt, but presenting instructors with significant additional challenges in preventing plagiarism and cheating. In this paper, we describe a BYOD exam solution based on lockdown browsers, software which temporarily turns students' laptops into secure workstations with limited system or internet access. We combine the use of this technology with a learning management system and cloud-based programming tool to facilitate conceptual and practical programming questions that can be tackled in an interactive but controlled environment. We reflect on our experience of implementing this solution for a major undergraduate programming course, highlighting our principal lesson that policies and support mechanisms are as important to consider as the technology itself.

description: The correlation between overlap intensities and level velocities has been introduced as a sensitive measure capable of revealing phase space localization. Previously applied to chaotic quantum systems, here we extend the theory to near-integrable and mixed quantum systems. This measure is useful in the latter cases because it has the ability to highlight certain phase space structures depending upon the perturbation used to parametrically vary the Hamiltonian. A detailed semiclassical theory is presented relating the correlation coefficient to the phase space weighted derivatives of the classical action. In the process, we confront the question of whether the Hannay-Ozorio de Almeida sum rules are simply extendable to mixed phase space systems. In addition, the hbar-scalings of the correlation coefficient and relevant quantities are derived for nearly integrable systems. Excellent agreement is found between the theory and the results for integrable billiards as well as for the standard map.

description: Η γνώση, οι δεξιότητες, η ευελιξία στην παραγωγή και τον ανεφοδιασμό, η ανάδειξη νέων προϊόντων και υπηρεσιών και η καινοτομία αποτελούν αναμφίβολα βασικούς μοχλούς ανάπτυξης. Οι αλλαγές, όμως, που δρομολογούνται από την οικονομία της γνώσης και της πληροφορίας τα τελευταία χρόνια είναι εντυπωσιακές και έχουν οδηγήσει στη δημιουργία μιας νέας οικονομίας. Η ανάπτυξη του ηλεκτρονικού εμπορίου και η ευρεία χρήση του Διαδικτύου στη διαδικασία λήψης αποφάσεων από την πλευρά των καταναλωτών ανέδειξαν την ανάγκη των επιχειρήσεων να ανταποκριθούν σε αυτές τις νέες συνθήκες. Η χρήση σύγχρονων μεθόδων για τη διατύπωση των στόχων τους, τον προσδιορισμό του κοινού τους και των αναγκών του και την ιχνηλάτηση του εξωτερικού και εσωτερικού τους περιβάλλοντος, οδήγησε τις επιχειρήσεις στην κατάρτιση ενός προγράμματος προβολής των προϊόντων και των υπηρεσιών τους και στη σχεδίαση της επικοινωνιακής τους δράσης. Με αυτό τον τρόπο, και μέσα σε αυτό το κλίμα διαρκούς εξέλιξης, ο ψηφιακός μετασχηματισμός των επιχειρήσεων κατέστησε το διαδικτυακό µάρκετινγκ αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι των στρατηγικών που εφαρμόζουν. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία στοχεύει στη διερεύνηση των επικοινωνιακών στρατηγικών που χρησιμοποιούν οι επιχειρήσεις που δραστηριοποιούνται στον κλάδο λιανικού εμπορίου ηλεκτρικών συσκευών. Ως μελέτη περίπτωσης εξετάζεται η Media Markt Hellas, μέσα από την κατανόηση του επικοινωνιακού πλαισίου και των στρατηγικών μάρκετινγκ που χρησιμοποιεί, τόσο με παραδοσιακές όσο και με πιο σύγχρονες πρακτικές προώθησης
description: Knowledge, skills, production and supply flexibility, the emergence of new products and services and innovation are undoubtedly key drivers of growth. However, the changes initiated by the knowledge and information economy in recent years are impressive and have led to the creation of a new economy. The development of e-commerce and the widespread use of the Internet in the decision - making process by consumers have highlighted the need for businesses to respond to these new conditions. The use of modern methods, in order to formulate their goals, identify their audience and their needs, and track their external and internal environment, led companies to develop a program to promote their products and services and to design their communication action. In this environment of constant evolution, the digital transformation of businesses has made Internet Marketing an integral part of the strategies they implement. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the communication strategies used by companies operating in the retail sector of electrical appliances. Media Markt Hellas is examined as a case study, through the understanding of the communication framework and the marketing strategies it uses, with both traditional and more modern promotion practices

description: Αντικείμενο μελέτης της παρούσας έρευνας αποτέλεσε η έννοια της κανονικότητας και το πώς αυτή κατασκευάζεται και οργανώνεται επιχειρηματολογικά στο λόγο ανθρώπων που βρίσκονται σε μια μακρόχρονη διακοπή από τη χρήση ψυχοτρόπων ουσιών, τόσο κατά την περίοδο της χρήσης, όσο και την περίοδο που ακολουθεί μετά την διακοπή αυτής. Η συλλογή των δεδομένων, έγινε με την πραγματοποίηση έντεκα ημι-δομημένων συνεντεύξεων, οκτώ ανδρών και τριών γυναικών. Η χρονική περίοδος από την διακοπή της χρήσης κυμαινόταν από έντεκα έως είκοσι χρόνια, με μέσο όρο τα δεκαπέντε έτη. Οι συνεντεύξεις αναλύθηκαν με βάση τις αρχές της κριτικής λογοψυχολογίας και με ερμηνευτικό υπόβαθρο το θεωρητικό έργο του Γάλλου διανοητή Μισέλ Φουκώ. Από την ανάλυση αναδείχθηκαν πέντε ερμηνευτικά ρεπερτόρια, το πρώτο αφορά την ερμηνεία της κανονικότητας ως μια παθολογική συνθήκη με την χρήση ψυχοτρόπων ουσιών να αποτελεί το “παυσίπονο” για την αντιμετώπισή της, το δεύτερο αναφέρεται στη χρήση ως μια πρακτική εναντίωσης στην κανονικότητα και τις νόρμες που επιβάλλονται, το τρίτο αναδεικνύει την επιτελεστική λειτουργία της κανονικότητας που υιοθετείται κατά την περίοδο της χρήσης, το τέταρτο αφορά την ανάρρωση ως μια δια βίου προσπάθεια για την απόκτηση μιας “κανονικής” ζωής και τέλος, το πέμπτο αναφέρεται στην επαναδιαπραγμάτευση της “κανονικής” χρήσης, καθώς και το διακύβευμα της ελευθερίας επιλογής
description: The subject of the present study was the concept of normality and how it is constructed and organized argumentatively in the accounts of people who are on a long-term cessation from the use of psychotropic substances. The reported empirical data were collected through eleven semi-structured interviews with eight men and three women. The period of the cessation of use ranged from eleven to twenty years, with an average of fifteen years. The interviews were analyzed based on the principles of critical discursive psychology and on the interpretive background of the theoretical work of the French philosopher Michel Foucault. Five discursive repertoires emerged from the analysis, the first concerns the construction of normality as a pathological condition with the use of psychotropic substances being the "painkiller" for its treatment, the second refers to the use of psychotropic substances as a practice against normality, the third highlights the performative function of the normality during the period of use, the fourth concerns recovery as a lifelong endeavor to achieve a "normal" life, and finally, the fifth refers to the renegotiation of "normal" use, as well as the stake in the freedom of choice
