description: Αναγνωρίζοντας τη σημασία και άλλων δομοποιητικών παραγόντων κατά τη διαδικασία κατασκευής συλλογικών ταυτοτήτων επιλέγουμε ως σημαντικό εργαλείο για την ερμηνεία της κοινωνικής αναπαραγωγής την λειτουργία της φαντασίωσης, καθώς αποτελεί τη γέφυρα μεταξύ του συμβολικού επιπέδου και των παθών. Έτσι, στα πλαίσια της εργασίας στοχεύουμε αρχικά, να εννοιολογήσουμε την σχέση μεταξύ φαντασίωσης και πολιτικής ταυτότητας. Ακολουθώντας την λακανική οπτική που προβάλλει τον ρόλο της επιθυμίας πίσω από την φαντασιακή κατασκευή κάθε ταυτότητας, στοχεύουμε στην συστηματοποίηση της προσέγγισης για να ορίσουμε την φαντασίωση με βάση αυτή τη στρατηγική έννοια, ως αφήγηση που υπόσχεται την συνένωση με το αντικείμενο επιθυμίας. Αφού συλλέξουμε τα θεωρητικά επιχειρήματα θα προσπαθήσουμε, σε ένα δεύτερο επίπεδο, με βάση αυτά, αλλά και εμπειρικά δεδομένα να επικεντρώσουμε στον τρόπο που η φαντασίωση δομεί την επιθυμία στην Ελλάδα του σήμερα για να διαμορφώσει την πολιτική θέληση και να συμβάλλει τελικά στην υπακοή και την διαιώνιση του modus operandi. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, θα επιχειρήσουμε να προσεγγίσουμε τον τρόπο συγκρότησης και βασικότερα την αλληλεπίδραση της εθνικής και ευρωπαϊκής ταυτότητας στα πλαίσια του πολιτικού λόγου της Νέας Δημοκρατίας. Και έπειτα, να ανακαλύψουμε πώς μεταφράζεται πολιτικά (με όρους υπακοής ή κινητοποίησης) αυτή η μορφή έγκλησης.
description: Recognizing the importance of other structuring factors during the process of building collective identities, we choose as an important tool for the reproduction of the social status quo the function of fantasy, as it is important for interpreting social reproduction, due to the fact that it is the bridge between the symbolic level and the emotions. So, in this paper, we are initially aiming to understand the relationship between fantasy and political identity. Following the lacanian point of view which propounds the role of desire behind the identity construction with the help of fantasy, we are aiming at systematizing this approach in order to define this important concept, as a narrative that promises the individual’ s union with the object of the desire. Once we collect the theoretical arguments, we will try based on these but on empirical data as well, to focus on the way that fantasy constructs the desire in Greece today, in order to shape the political will and, ultimately, to contribute to submissiveness and perpetuation of the mondus operandi. More specifically, we will approach the way of formation, or in more specific words the way of interaction, of ethnic and European identity within the framework of the political discourse of New Democracy. And, finally, to discover how this discourse can be politically translated in terms of submissiveness or mobilization.

description: Abstract: An immersive narrative should support immersion of its audience considering three dimensions of immersion (temporal, spatial and emotional). We present and demonstrate a method to evaluate and classify the immersion dimensions and creation techniques for narratives, to support reflections for future changes according to pedagogical objectives. The method was developed as a design science research artefact. It was applied empirically, in the curricular unit “Software Development Laboratory”, which uses narratives for Self-Regulation and Co-Regulation of learning in the Software Engineering program of Universidade Aberta, Portugal (asynchronous online Higher Education). Results expose if we resort to an immersion dimension over others, as detected in topics 2 and 6 of the demonstration (absence of spatial immersion). This analysis is useful, for evaluation and classification of narratives, providing their creators (e.g., teachers and non-expert professionals), with awareness of the immersion techniques and dimensions being applied throughout the narrative, enabling a global vision and reflection, which may inspire interventions to enhance the subjective state of immersion to be developed in the target audience.


Resumo: Uma narrativa imersiva deve prover a imersão do público-alvo considerando três dimensões de imersão (temporal, espacial e emocional). Apresentamos a demonstração de um método para avaliar e classificar as dimensões de imersão e técnicas de criação de narrativas, para possibilitar reflexões para alterações futuras, de acordo com os objetivos pedagógicos almejados pelo docente. O método foi desenvolvido como um artefacto de Design Science Research. Foi aplicado empiricamente, numa unidade curricular de Laboratório de Desenvolvimento de Software, que utiliza narrativas para Autorregulação e Corregulação das aprendizagens no curso de Licenciatura de Engenharia Informática da Universidade Aberta de Portugal (Ensino Superior online assíncrono). Os resultados possibilitam verificar se recorremos mais a uma dimensão de imersão e menos a outras, como foi detectado nos tópicos 2 e 6 da demonstração (ausência de imersão espacial). Esta análise é útil para avaliação e classificação de narrativas, para possibilitar seus criadores (e.g., professores e profissionais não especialistas), a tomar consciência de que técnicas e dimensões de imersão estão sendo aplicados ao longo da narrativa, possibilitando uma visão global e reflexão, que pode inspirar intervenções para potenciar o estado subjetivo de imersão a potenciar no público-alvo.

description: Στόχος της εργασίας είναι η ανάλυση του σολωμικού έργου, ο Διάλογος, η εξέταση του οποίου γίνεται τόσο υπό φιλολογική, όσο και υπό φιλοσοφική οπτική. Απαραίτητη προϋπόθεση για αυτήν την προσπάθεια αποτελεί η διατύπωση ενός ορισμού της έννοιας του διαλόγου, καθώς και η αναφορά στο πολιτισμικό και ιδεολογικό πλαίσιο που ώθησαν τον δημιουργό του να υποστηρίξει τη δημοτική γλώσσα έναντι της καθαρεύουσας μέσω του συγκεκριμένου έργου. Την ανάλυσή του ακολουθεί η εκτενής αναφορά στην επιστολή του Σολωμού προς τον Τερτσέτη, που γράφτηκε κάποια άλλη χρονική περίοδο, με σκοπό να διαπιστωθεί κατά πόσο ο συγγραφέας έχει αλλάξει πεποιθήσεις σχετικά με την αντιμετώπιση της δημοτικής. Επίσης, αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της μελέτης αυτής δεν θα μπορούσε να μην είναι η αναγωγή του είδους στην αρχαιότητα και ο παραλληλισμός μεταξύ σολωμικού και πλατωνικού διαλόγου, δεδομένου πως ο αρχαίος έλληνας φιλόσοφος έκανε συστηματική χρήση του είδους στο συνολικό του έργο. Τέλος, τελευταίο μέρος της εργασίας είναι η αποτίμηση του δημιουργήματος.
description: The aim of this thesis is to analyze the Dialogue, composed by Dionysios Solomos, which is examined under a philological and a philosophical view as well. Essential requirements for this attempt are the formulation of a definition of dialogue’s literary form and the reference to the cultural and ideological context that motivated Solomos to support the demotic Greek language against the archaic form, named Katharevousa, through this particular project. Another subject analyzed, connected to the topic, is the letter of Solomos to Georgios Tertsetis, written in a different period of time, in order to be certain if the author has changed his beliefs about the demotic language or not. In addition to this, an integral part of this study is the research on the role of the literary form in antiquity, since it had been systematically used by Plato, the ancient Greek philosopher in his overall work. Last but not least, the final part of the thesis is about the valuation of the Dialogue.

description: We present far-UV to optical analyses of four hydrogen deficient central stars of planetary nebulae: BD+303639, NGC 40, NGC 5315 and NGC 6905. Using the radiative transfer code CMFGEN, we determined new physical parameters and chemical abundances for these stars. The results were analyzed in the context of the [WR] => PG 1159 evolution via the transformed radius(Rt)-temperature and HR diagrams. NGC 5315 showed itself as an odd object among the previously analyzed central stars. Its temperature (~76kK) is considerably lower than other early-type [WR] stars (~120-150kK). From our models for NGC 5315 and NGC 6905, it is unclear if early-type [WR] stars have smaller C/He mass ratios than other spectral classes, as claimed in the literature. A ratio of ~0.8 is found for NGC 6905. We analyzed FUSE spectra of these stars for the first time, and identified phosphorus in the spectra of BD+303639, NGC 40 and NGC 5315 through the transitions P V 1118,1128. The Fe, Si, P, S and Ne abundances were analyzed in the context of the nucleosynthesis occurring in previous evolutionary phases. We found evidence for Fe deficiency in BD +30 3639 and NGC 5315, and from fits to the Si IV lines we determined a solar Si abundance for BD+303639 and NGC 40. For phosphorus, an oversolar abundance in the NGC 5315 model was preferred, while in the other stars a solar phosphorus abundance cannot be discarded. Regarding sulfur, we estimated upper limits for its abundance, since no conspicuous lines can be seen in the observed spectra. We found that Ne is overabundant in BD +30 3639. In the other stars, Ne is weak or undetectable and upper limits for its abundance were estimated. Our results are in agreement with theoretical predictions and show the usefulness of [WR] stars as testbeds for nucleosynthesis calculations in the AGB and post-AGB phases.(abridged)

description: We continue to investigate two-dimensional laterally propagating flames in type I X-ray bursts using fully compressible hydrodynamics simulations. In the current study we relax previous approximations where we artificially boosted the flames. We now use more physically realistic reaction rates, thermal conductivities, and rotation rates, exploring the effects of neutron star rotation rate and thermal structure on the flame. We find that at lower rotation rates the flame becomes harder to ignite, whereas at higher rotation rates the nuclear burning is enhanced by increased confinement from the Coriolis force and the flame propagates steadily. At higher crustal temperatures, the flame moves more quickly and accelerates as it propagates through the atmosphere. If the temperature is too high, instead of a flame propagating across the surface the entire atmosphere burns steadily. All of the software used for these simulations is freely available.

description: The components of the wide binary HIP64030=HD 113984 show a large (about 0.25 dex) iron content difference (Desidera et al.~2006 A&A 454, 581). The positions of the components on the color magnitude diagram suggest that the primary is a blue straggler. We studied the abundance difference of several elements besides iron, and we searched for stellar and substellar companions around the components to unveil the origin of the observed iron difference. A line-by-line differential abundance analysis for several elements was performed, while suitable spectral synthesis was performed for C, N, and Li. High precision radial velocities obtained with the iodine cell were combined with available literature data. The analysis of additional elements shows that the abundance difference for the elements studied increases with increasing condensation temperature, suggesting that accretion of chemically fractionated material might have occurred in the system. Alteration of C and N likely due to CNO processing is also observed. We also show that the primary is a spectroscopic binary with a period of 445 days and moderate eccentricity. The minimum mass of the companion is 0.17 Msun. Two scenarios were explored to explain the observed abundance pattern. In the first, all abundance anomalies arise on the blue straggler. If this is the case, the dust-gas separation may have been occurred in a circumbinary disk around the blue straggler and its expected white dwarf companion, as observed in several RV Tauri and post AGB binaries. In the second scenario, accretion of dust-rich material occurred on the secondary. This would also explain the anomalous carbon isotopic ratio of the secondary. Such a scenario requires that a substantial amount of mass lost by the central binary has been accreted by the wide component.

description: Η παρούσα εργασία επιχειρεί να αναλύσει και να συγκρίνει τη θεωρία του Νίτσε σχετικά με το «θάνατο του Θεού» με την αναλυτική ψυχολογία του Γιουνγκ. Ο νιτσεϊκός «θάνατος του Θεού» αποτελεί ένα μείζον φιλοσοφικό ζήτημα αλλά και μια κρίσιμη διάγνωση που αφορά ολόκληρη την ανθρωπότητα. Σε άρρηκτη σύνδεση με τις πλέον κομβικές έννοιες της θεωρίας του Νίτσε, διανοίγει το μονοπάτι προς τον Υπεράνθρωπο· το λαμπρό μέλλον που προφητεύει ο Γερμανός φιλόσοφος. Από την άλλη μεριά, η αναλυτική ψυχολογία είναι μια σημαίνουσα ψυχοθεραπευτική προσέγγιση, η οποία διευρύνει σημαντικά την ψυχαναλυτική σκέψη προς την υπαρξιακή κατεύθυνση. Οι θεμελιώδεις έννοιες της θεωρίας και της πράξης της ανάλυσης του Γιουνγκ βρίσκονται σε τροχιά γύρω από την κομβική διεργασία της εξατομίκευσης και την ανάδειξη του Εαυτού. Η συσχέτιση των δύο μεγάλων θεωριών εμφανίζει πλούσιες περιοχές προς διερεύνηση, οι οποίες διαφωτίζουν σημαντικά τα αναφερόμενα θεωρητικά συστήματα, αναδεικνύοντας τα ποικίλα κοινά τους σημεία και πυροδοτώντας τον ευρύτερο αναστοχασμό μας αναφορικά με καίρια ζητήματα, όπως αυτά της επαφής μας με την ενδότερη φύση, της σχέσης με το θεϊκό στοιχείο, της συνολικότερης ανάπτυξης του ατόμου, της ψυχοθεραπευτικής πράξης και πολλών άλλων.
description: The present thesis aims to analyse and compare Nietzsche’s theory on the “death of God” with Jung’s analytical psychology. The Nietzschean “death of God” is a major philosophical issue and also a critical diagnosis that concerns the whole of mankind. In unison with the most nodal concepts of Nietzsche's theory, it opens the path to the Superman; the bright future prophesied by the German philosopher. On the other hand, analytical psychology is a significant psychotherapeutic approach, which greatly expands psychoanalytic thinking towards the existential direction. The fundamental concepts of Jung’s analytical theory and practice are in orbit around the key process of individuation and the emergence of the Self. The correlation of the two great theories reveals rich areas to be explored, which illuminate the theoretical systems, highlighting various common grounds and triggering our broader contemplation on key issues such as making contact with our inward nature, relating to the divine element, the overall development of the individual, psychotherapeutic practice and many more.

description: Humans display the remarkable ability to sense the world through tools and other held objects. For example, we are able to pinpoint impact locations on a held rod and tell apart different textures using a rigid probe. In this work, we consider how we can enable robots to have a similar capacity, i.e., to embody tools and extend perception using standard grasped objects. We propose that vibro-tactile sensing using dynamic tactile sensors on the robot fingers, along with machine learning models, enables robots to decipher contact information that is transmitted as vibrations along rigid objects. This paper reports on extensive experiments using the BioTac micro-vibration sensor and a new event dynamic sensor, the NUSkin, capable of multi-taxel sensing at 4~kHz. We demonstrate that fine localization on a held rod is possible using our approach (with errors less than 1 cm on a 20 cm rod). Next, we show that vibro-tactile perception can lead to reasonable grasp stability prediction during object handover, and accurate food identification using a standard fork. We find that multi-taxel vibro-tactile sensing at sufficiently high sampling rate led to the best performance across the various tasks and objects. Taken together, our results provides both evidence and guidelines for using vibro-tactile perception to extend tactile perception, which we believe will lead to enhanced competency with tools and better physical human-robot-interaction.

description: This study aims to analyse the users’ perceptions about a 3D digital artifacts prototype for teaching the fingerspelling alphabet of Brazilian Sign Language (LIBRAS). For this purpose, a high-fidelity prototype was developed with a non-programming method, and a usability test was conducted using a structured questionnaire with 31 participants, including Deaf and hearing people. Most users (96.7%) rated the learning experience with the tool as positive, with 67.7% rating the experience as "good", 12.9% as "very good", and 16.1% as "excellent". Comparing the evaluation between Deaf and hearing people showed that both target groups mostly rated it positively. However, most hearing people rated it "good," while the majority of the Deaf rated it as "excellent" (29%) or "outstanding" (14%) compared to 13% and 12%, respectively, among the hearing. In summary, considering the variables presented, the experience was well rated and did not encounter solid obstacles or resistance.

description: This thesis is addressed to readers with basic knowledge of Commutative Algebra. Its' main purpose is to vitiate the Regularity Conjecture (see 2.13.6) of Eisenbud-Goto (1984). The main references are the book "Graded Syzygies" (2010) of I.Peeva and the article of J.Mccullough and I.Peeva, for the published in the Journal of American Mathematical Society in November 2017. The first and second chapter of the thesis sets the basics on minimal graded free resolutions, betti numbers, projective dimension, regularity, multiplicity etc. The third chapter is the main body of this thesis. In this chapter we give counterexamples which show that the Regulatity Conjecture does not hold. Moreover, we show something stronger (see Theorem 3.5.3), namely that the regularity of non-degenerate homogeneous prime ideals can not bounded by a polynomial function of multiplicity

description: In scale-invariant models of fundamental physics, mass scales are generated by spontaneous symmetry breaking. In this work, we study inflation in scale-invariant $R^2$ gravity, in which the Planck mass is generated by a scalar field, which is responsible for spontaneous breaking of scale--symmetry. If the self-interactions of the scalar field are non-zero, a cosmological constant is generated, which can be potentially quite large. To avoid fine-tuning at late times, we introduce another scalar field which drives the classical cosmological constant to zero during inflation. Working in the Einstein-frame, we find that due to a conserved Noether current the corresponding three-field inflationary model (consisting of the two scalar fields plus the scalaron) becomes effectively a two-field model. The prize to be paid for introducing the field which cancels the classical cosmological constant at the end of inflation is that the running of the spectral index and the running of the running can be quite large due to entropy perturbations during inflation, making the model testable with future cosmological experiments.

description: Για πολλά χρόνια οι ερευνητές θεωρούσαν τη Διαταραχή Ελλειμματικής Προσοχής – Υπερκινητικότητας (ΔΕΠΥ) ως μια αμιγώς παιδική διαταραχή. Τα τελευταία όμως χρόνια, μελέτες σε πληθυσμούς ενηλίκων αλλά και διαχρονικές μελέτες, απέδειξαν την ύπαρξη της διαταραχής και στην ενήλικη ζωή. Μάλιστα η ανασκόπηση της επιστημονικής βιβλιογραφίας αποδεικνύει ότι το 1/3 των παιδιών με ΔΕΠΥ διατηρούν πλήρως τη διάγνωση και στην ενήλικη ζωή. Παρόλο που η παγκόσμια επιστημονική κοινότητα έχει στρέψει το ενδιαφέρον της στην εξέλιξη της ΔΕΠΥ στην ενήλικη ζωή, η κοινωνική, ακαδημαϊκή και η γενικότερη προσαρμοστική λειτουργικότητα των ενηλίκων με ΔΕΠΥ παραμένουν ανοιχτά πεδία προς διερεύνηση. Πεδίο επίσης έντονων διαξιφισμών παραμένει και η διαγνωστική προσέγγιση της διαταραχής, καθώς τα διαγνωστικά κριτήρια της ενήλικης ΔΕΠΥ δε διαφοροποιούνται στις διεθνείς ταξινομήσεις από εκείνα της παιδικής ηλικίας. Σκοπός της παρούσας διπλωματικής μελέτης είναι η καταγραφή και αποτύπωση, μέσα από συστηματική ανασκόπηση της διεθνούς αρθρογραφίας, εκτελεστικών και συμπεριφορών λειτουργιών σε ενήλικες με ΔΕΠΥ.

description: For many years researchers have considered Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as a purely childish disorder. However, in recent years, studies in adult populations as well as longitudinal studies have demonstrated the existence of the disorder in adulthood. Indeed, the review of scientific literature demonstrates that 1/3 of children with ADHD maintain full diagnosis in adulthood as well. Although the global scientific community has turned its interest in the development of ADHD in adulthood, the social, academic and general adaptive functioning of ADHD adults remain open areas for investigation. The diagnostic approach of the disorder also remains the same as the ADHD diagnostic criteria do not differ in international classifications from those of childhood. The purpose of this thesis is to record and capture, through a systematic review of international literature, executive and behavioral behaviors in adults with ADHD. A research was made on global databases such as science direct and pubmed. After the selection of the articles, the results of the research were presented, and then the restrictions, conclusions and some suggestions on the ADHD issue were given to adults

description: We introduce a class of quantum channels with correlations acting on pairs of qubits, where the correlation takes the form of a shift operator onto a maximally entangled state. We optimise the output purity and show that below a certain threshold the optimum is achieved by partially entangled states whose degree of entanglement increases monotonically with the correlation parameter. Above this threshold, the optimum is achieved by the maximally entangled state characterizing the shift. Although, a full analysis can only be done for the 2-norm, both numerical and heuristic arguments indicate that this behavior and the optimal inputs are independent of p>1 when the optimal output purity is measured using the p-norm.

Accessibility rights for disabled people
Creators: name: Hosking, David Leigh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The term “accessibility rights” refers to the right of disabled people to benefit from the provision of goods and services generally available to the public without discrimination because of physical disability caused by providing the services from a location which people cannot physically access. Historically, disabled people in Canada have been stigmatized and marginalized. This social position has been changing since the disabled consumer movement arose and placed disability rights on the political agenda. Current official policy is to integrate disabled people into all aspects of society. A major barrier to this policy is the failure to effectively implement accessibility rights. This thesis examines the nature of accessibility rights and their legal protection and offers proposals for improving the implementation of these rights. The major sources of legal protection for the rights of disabled people are human rights statutes and the Charter ofRights. For this reason these laws are considered in detail to determine how effectively they protect accessibility rights. This thesis concludes that the current protections are inadequate and fundamentally incapable of guaranteeing accessibility rights. Three proposals for improvements are made. First, legislatures should set out detailed policy directions for the implementation of these rights. Second, the agencies which impact on the implementation of accessibility rights should be required to coordinate their activities to ensure that the work of each agency complements that of the others. Third, three new implementation strategies should be adopted. First, self-regulating professions should adopt into their professional standards a duty to implement the principles of barrier free design into every aspect of their professional activities. Second, existing regulatory agencies should have their responsibilities and powers augmented so they assume a greater role in the enforcement of accessibility rights. Third, human rights legislation should be amended to add a regulatory enforcement strategy to the existing complaints based strategy. This additional strategy should be based on the concept of adaptation planning. This concept would allow for the orderly and cost-effective transformation ofthe physical structure of society so that disabled people no longer experience discrimination in the provision of services due to physical barriers.

description: A 4th generation could be consistent with the recently measured $Δm_{B_s}$ as well as ${\cal B}(b\to s\ell^+\ell^-)$, which are SM-like, but generate large $\sin2Φ_{B_s} \simeq -0.5$ to -0.7. The sign is determined by the hint for New Physics in CPV measurements in charmless B decays. The $4\times 4$ unitarity allows one to connect to all processes involving flavor. Fixing $V_{t'b}$, $V_{t's}$ and $V_{t'd}$ by $Z\to b\bar b$, $b\to s$ and $s\to d$ processes, we predict $D$ mixing to be close to the current bound. As a further corollary, we suggest that $A_{\rm CP}(B^+ \to J/ψK^+)$ could be at 1% level or higher, where we give plausibility of an associated strong phase. Our predictions can be tested in the near future.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν η διερεύνηση της κατανόησης και της συμπεριφοράς παιδιών πρωτοσχολικής ηλικίας απέναντι στην αναπηρία. Στην έρευνα συμμετείχαν 200 παιδιά της Α’ δημοτικού δημοσίων σχολείων των νομών Θεσσαλονίκης, Σερρών και Χαλκιδικής. Η αξιολόγηση της κατανόησης και της συμπεριφοράς των παιδιών έγινε από τον ερευνητή με τη συμπλήρωση ερωτηματολογίων που εφαρμόσθηκε στους μαθητές υπό τη μορφή συνεντεύξεων. Από την ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων φάνηκε ότι τα παιδιά κατανοούν καλύτερα την κινητική αναπηρία και αναγνωρίζουν περισσότερα θετικά χαρακτηριστικά σε αυτήν. Συμπερασματικά, φάνηκε πως οι θετικές συμπεριφορικές προθέσεις συσχετίζονται θετικά με το βαθμό αποδοχής των παιδιών με αναπηρία
description: Τhe purpose of this research was the investigation of the elementary first age children’s comprehension and behavior towards disability. Two hundred children enrolled in first grade of public school from the counties of Thessaloniki, Chalkidiki and Serres have participated in this survey. The assessment of children’s understanding and behavior was done by questionnaires applied to the students by the investigator in the form of an interview. The analysis of the results showed that the children understand better the physical disability and recognize more positive characteristics at it. In conclusion, it seemed that the positive behavioral intentions are positively correlated with the degree of acceptance of children with disabilities

description: In this paper, we present a systematic investigation on simple inverse seesaw models for neutrino masses and flavor mixing based on the modular $S^{}_4$ symmetry. Two right-handed neutrinos and three extra fermion singlets are introduced to account for light neutrino masses through the inverse seesaw mechanism, and to provide a keV-mass sterile neutrino as the candidate for warm dark matter in our Universe. Considering all possible modular forms with weights no larger than four, we obtain twelve models, among which we find one is in excellent agreement with the observed lepton mass spectra and flavor mixing. Moreover, we explore the allowed range of the sterile neutrino mass and mixing angles, by taking into account the direct search of $X$-ray line and the Lyman-$α$ observations. The model predictions for neutrino mixing parameters and the dark matter abundance will be readily testable in future neutrino oscillation experiments and cosmological observations.

description: We perform a full microscopic investigation on the spin relaxation in $n$-type (001) GaAs quantum wells with Al$_{0.4}$Ga$_{0.6}$As barrier due to the D'yakonov-perel' mechanism from nearly 20 K to the room temperature by constructing and numerically solving the kinetic spin Bloch equations. We consider all the relevant scattering such as the electron--acoustic-phonon, the electron--longitudinal-optical-phonon, the electron--nonmagnetic-impurity and the electron-electron Coulomb scattering to the spin relaxation. The spin relaxation times calculated from our theory with a fitting spin splitting parameter are in good agreement with the experimental data by Ohno {\em et al.} [Physica E {\bf 6}, 817 (2000)] over the whole temperature regime (from 20 K to 300 K). The value of the fitted spin splitting parameter agrees with many experiments and theoretical calculations. We further show the temperature dependence of the spin relaxation time under various conditions such as electron density, impurity density and well width. We predict a peak solely due to the Coulomb scattering in the spin relaxation time at low temperature ($<50$ K) in samples with low electron density ({\em e.g.}, density less than $1 \times 10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$) but high mobility. This peak disappears in samples with high electron density ({\em e.g.} $2 \times 10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$) and/or low mobility. The hot-electron spin kinetics at low temperature is also addressed with many features quite different from the high temperature case predicted.

description: This work investigated the chemical composition of essential oils (EOs) obtained from the aerial parts of three Inula species of the Tunisian flora as well as their biological properties. Inula viscosa essential oil (IVEO) contained mainly α-costic acid (65.4%). The EOs of Inula graveolens (IGEO) and Inula crithmoides (ICEO) were characterized by high contents of p-cymene derivatives while ICEO stands out by high levels of modheph-2-ene (16.5%) and tiglic esters (14.1%). Moreover, a notable antioxidant power was proved by the ORAC test for the three EOs. Finally, the cytotoxic activity was evaluated on two healthy cell lines (CCD45-SK, HUVECs) and two cancer cell lines (HepG-2, MCF-7) and it appeared that the EOs were particularly effective on MCF-7 human breast cancer cells with LC50 equal to 79, 16, and 63 µg. mL−1 for IVEO, IGEO, and ICEO, respectively.

description: Superconducting parametrons in the single-photon Kerr regime, also called KPOs, have been attracting increasing attention in terms of their applications to quantum annealing and universal quantum computation. It is of practical importance to obtain information of superconducting parametrons operating under an oscillating pump field. Spectroscopy can provide information of a superconducting parametron under examination, such as energy level structure, and also useful information for calibration of the pump field. We theoretically study the reflection spectroscopy of superconducting parametrons, and develop a method to obtain the reflection coefficient. We present formulae of the reflection coefficient, the nominal external and the internal decay rates, and examine the obtained spectra. It is shown that the difference of the populations of energy levels manifests itself as a dip or peak in the amplitude of the reflection coefficient, and one can directly extract the coupling strength between the energy levels by measuring the nominal decay rates when the pump field is sufficiently large.

description: An integrable system is introduced, which is a generalization of the $\mathfrak{sl}(2)$ quantum affine Gaudin model. Among other things, the Hamiltonians are constructed and their spectrum is calculated within the ODE/IQFT approach. The model fits within the framework of Yang-Baxter integrability. This opens a way for the systematic quantization of a large class of integrable non-linear sigma models. There may also be some interest in terms of Condensed Matter applications, as the theory can be thought of as a multiparametric generalization of the Kondo model.

description: Το αυξανόμενο ενδιαφέρον των Αμερικανών νέων εφήβων για τη δυστοπική λογοτεχνία για νέους τον εικοστό πρώτο αιώνα έχει φέρει στο προσκήνιο ερωτήσεις σχετικά με το πώς οι έφηβοι αντιλαμβάνονται τον κόσμο γύρω τους που συνεχώς αλλάζει και πως αντιλαμβάνονται τον εαυτό τους μέσα στην κοινωνία. Το επίκεντρο αυτής της εργασίας είναι πως οι νέοι έφηβοι, όπως παρουσιάζονται στα δύο Αμερικάνικα μυθιστορήματα που εξετάζονται, ξεφεύγουν από την υπακοή και τον έλεγχο που η δυστοπική κοινωνία τους επιβάλλει και γίνονται αυτόνομα και ενεργά μέλη που δε μπορούν να χειραγωγηθούν και να τιμωρηθούν. Ένας πολύ σημαντικός παράγοντας σε αυτή τη διαδικασία είναι το ταξίδι που ξεκινούν οι έφηβοι από την αφέλεια και την άγνοια προς την αυτογνωσία και την αφύπνιση που φέρνουν την αντίστασή τους κατά των κοινωνικών δομών στους κόσμους τους. Τα μυθιστορήματα που σχολιάζονται σε αυτή την εργασία είναι το Mockingjay (2010) της Suzanne Collins και το Divergent (2011) της Veronica Roth, τα οποία προβάλλουν νεαρές πρωταγωνίστριες στην εφηβική ηλικία των οποίων το ταξίδι προς την ωριμότητα καταλήγει με αντίσταση. Προσφεύγοντας στις απόψεις ορισμένων θεωρητικών όπως οι Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze και ακαδημαϊκών όπως οι Keith Booker, Roberta Seelinger Trites, Thomas Moylan, και Raffaella Baccolini, αυτή η εργασία επικεντρώνεται στον τρόπο με τον οποίο οι έφηβες πρωταγωνίστριες καταφέρνουν να ξεφύγουν από την υπακοή και τη συμμόρφωση και μεταμορφώνονται σε νέες που αντιστέκονται
description: The rising interest of American young adolescents in dystopian young adult writing in the twenty-first has brought to the spotlight questions about how teenagers view the changing world around them and how they perceive themselves in society. The focus of this thesis is how the young adolescent, as featured in the two American novels under examination here, escapes the docility and control that the dystopian society imposes on them and becomes an autonomous agent that cannot be manipulated and disciplined. A very important factor in such a process is the journey these adolescents undertake from naïve and ignorant to knowledgeable and self-conscious individuals who perform their resistance against the societal strictures in their worlds. The novels to be commented on in this thesis are Suzanne Collins‘s Mockingjay (2010) and Veronica Roth‘s Divergent (2011), which feature young adolescent female protagonists whose journey into maturity ends in resistance. By resorting to the views of certain theorists such as Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and scholars such as Keith Booker, Roberta Seelinger Trites, Thomas Moylan and Raffaella Baccolini, this thesis pays attention to how the female protagonists manage to escape docility and compliance and transform into resistant young adults

description: The chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) effect enables the detection of chirality as electrical charge signals. It is often studied using a two-terminal circuit geometry where a ferromagnet is connected to a chiral component, and a change of electrical resistance is reported upon magnetization reversal. This is however not expected in the linear response regime because of compensating reciprocal processes, limiting the interpretation of experimental results. Here we show that magnetoresistance effects can indeed appear even in the linear response regime, either by changing the magnitude or the direction of the magnetization or an applied magnetic field. We illustrate this in a spin-valve device and in a chiral thin film as the CISS-induced Hanle magnetoresistance (CHMR) effect. This effect helps to distinguish spin-transport-related effects from other effects, and can thereby provide further insight into the origin of CISS.
