description: Ce travail examine comment la digitalisation affecte la circularité des flux de matières, en mettant particulièrement l'accent sur la responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE). En effet, le travail met en lumière le rôle de la digitalisation dans l'économie circulaire et identifie les principaux facteurs qui influencent et entravent l'adoption de solutions digitales pour la circularité des flux de matières, notamment dans les pays en voie de développement. Les principaux constats de l'article sont les suivants. Il existe une relation positive entre la digitalisation et l'économie circulaire (EC) en raison du fait que les technologies digitales peuvent faciliter et améliorer la mise en œuvre des stratégies circulaires en améliorant l'efficacité, la transparence et la traçabilité de la gestion des ressources. Le survol de la littérature sur ce sujet a montré quatre types de facteurs qui influencent et entravent l'adoption de solutions digitales pour une EC—à savoir, technologiques, organisationnels, institutionnels et environnementaux.

description: Das Management eines Unternehmens kann Mithilfe von bilanzpolitischen Maßnahmen bewusst Einfluss auf das Unternehmensergebnis nehmen. Durch Ausnutzung von Ermessenspielräumen bei der Bildung und Auflösung von Rückstellungen können stille Reserven gebildet und in späteren Perioden wieder aufgelöst werden. In dieser Masterarbeit wurde untersucht ob die Unternehmen des M-DAX mithilfe der Big-Bath-Accounting-Methode oder der Income-Smoothing-Methode bewusst Einfluss auf das Jahresergebnis genommen haben. Hierfür wurden die Geschäftsberichte der Zielgruppe im Zeitraum von 2009 – 2018 empirisch untersucht. Um die Gültigkeit der Hypothesen zu überprüfen wurde das ausgewiesene EBIT mit einem bereinigten EBIT verglichen. Für die Ermittlung des bereinigten EBITs wurden die tatsächlichen Rückstellungsbildungen bzw. Rückstellungsauflösungen durch die über den Betrachtungszeitraum durchschnittlichen Rückstellungsbildung bzw. Rückstellungsauflösung ersetzt. Die Ergebnisse der empirischen Untersuchung haben gezeigt, dass die Unternehmen der Zielgruppe Mithilfe von Rückstellungen großen Einfluss auf das EBIT nehmen können. Weiter konnte belegt werden, dass die meisten Unternehmen bei der Rückstellungsbewertung grundsätzlich vorsichtig agieren und höhere Beträge in Rückstellungen bilanzieren.
description: The management of a company can consciously influence the company's results with the help of balance sheet policy measures. By making use of a discretionary scope in the formation and release of provisions, hidden reserves can be formed and released again in later periods. This master's thesis investigated whether the companies of the M-DAX have consciously influenced the annual result by using the Big-Bath-Accounting-Method or the Income-Smoothing-Method. For this purpose, the annual reports of the target group in the period 2009 - 2018 were empirically studied. To test the validity of the hypotheses, the reported EBIT was compared with an adjusted EBIT. In order to determine the adjusted EBIT, the actual formation or reversal of provisions was replaced by the average formation or reversal of provisions over the analyzed period under review. The results of the empirical study have shown that the companies in the target group can greatly influence the EBIT with the help of provisions. Furthermore, it showed that most companies are generally cautious in the valuation of provisions and report higher amounts in provisions.
Thermodynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model in a Bogoliubov+U theory

description: We derive the Bogoliubov+U formalism to study the thermodynamical properties of the Bose-Hubbard model. The framework can be viewed as the zero-frequency limit of bosonic dynamical mean-field theory (B-DMFT), but equally well as an extension of the mean-field decoupling approximation in which pair creation and annihilation of depleted particles is taken into account. The self-energy on the impurity site is treated variationally, minimizing the grand potential. The theory containing just three parameters that are determined self-consistently reproduces the T=0 phase diagrams of the three-dimensional and two-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model with an accuracy of 1% or better. The superfluid to normal transition at finite temperature is also reproduced well and only slightly less accurately than in B-DMFT.

description: In vielen Ländern gibt es eine stetige Verschiebung von Bargeld zu Kartenzahlung. Dieser Umstand könnte darauf hinweisen, dass Bargeld irgendwann verschwinden wird. Der Bargeldumlauf ist in den meisten Ländern, einschließlich Österreich, jedoch seit Jahrzehnten stabil oder stark gestiegen. Im Gegensatz dazu gilt Schweden als eine Vorreiternation auf dem Weg in die bargeldlose Gesellschaft. In der vorliegenden Masterthesis werden die Unterschiede zwischen Österreich und Schweden erläutert, indem die Zahlungsmärkte als auch das Potenzial der Länder aufgezeigt werden. Weiters werden die möglichen Einflüsse wie Bargeldversorgung, Technologie und Infrastruktur, Regulierungen und das unterschiedliche Zahlungsverhalten und die Mentalität der Konsumenten untersucht. Daraus werden dann Schlussfolgerungen gezogen, wohin sich die verschiedenen Zahlungsmärkte in Zukunft bewegen werden. Die Daten basieren auf Sekundärdaten, die aus Büchern, Zeitschriften, verschiedenen Forschungsarbeiten und Onlinequellen stammen. Egal, welchen Standpunkt Sie in Bezug auf die Zukunft des Bargeldes einnehmen, soll diese Masterthesis einen besseren Einblick über die Transformation unserer Volkswirtschaft und den Mechanismus von unbaren Zahlungen geben.
description: In many countries, there is a steady shift from cash to card payments, which might suggest that cash will eventually disappear. However, cash in circulation in most countries, including Austria, has remained stable or increased significantly for decades. In contrast, Sweden is considered a pioneering nation on the way to a cashless society. This master thesis explains the differences between Austria and Sweden by showing the payment markets as well as the potential of the countries. It is focusing on possible influences such as cash supply, technology and infrastructure, regulations and the different payment behavior and the mentality of consumers. From this, conclusions are drawn where the different payments markets are heading in the future. The data is based on secondary data taken from various books, journals, research papers and online sources. Regardless of which viewpoint you have regarding the future of cash, this master thesis aims to provide a better insight into the transformation of our economy and the mechanics of non-cash payments.

description: By Baillon's result, it is known that maximal regularity with respect to the space of continuous functions is rare; it implies that either the involved semigroup generator is a bounded operator or the considered space contains $c_{0}$. We show that the latter alternative can be excluded under a refined condition resembling maximal regularity with respect to $\mathrm{L}^{\infty}$.

description: The purpose of the thesis is to examine the role of the principle of proportionality in substantive and procedural criminal law. Chapter 1 sets out the meaning, nature and operational purpose of the application of the general principle of proportionality in relation to criminal law. Next, the second chapter is devoted to studying the application of the principle to standardising the criminal phenomenon, in particular when criminalising human behaviour and determining the penalty to be punished by law. Chapter 3 looks at the role of the authority in sentencing proceedings. Finally, Chapter 4 examines how to incorporate the three levels of proportionality test into the conditions for the imposition of coercive procedural measures provided for in Articles 282 – 288 CPC.

description: Glyght is a new photochromic compound described as an effective modulator of glycine receptors at heterologous expression, in brain slices and in zebrafish larvae. Glyght also caused weak inhibition of GABAA-mediated currents in a cell line expressing α1/β2/γ2 GABAA receptors. However, the effects of Glyght on GABAergic transmission in the brain have not been analysed, which does not allow a sufficiently comprehensive assessment of the effects of the compound on the nervous system. Therefore, in this study using whole-cell patch-clamp recording, we analysed the Glyght (100 µM) action on evoked GABAergic inhibitory postsynaptic currents (eIPSCs) in mice hippocampal slices. Two populations of cells were found: the first responded by reducing the GABAergic eIPSCs’ amplitude, whereas the second showed no sensitivity to the compound. Glyght did not affect the ionic currents’ amplitude induced by GABA application, suggesting the absence of action on postsynaptic GABA receptors. Additionally, Glyght had no impact on the paired-pulse modulation of GABAergic eIPSCs, indicating that Glyght does not modulate the neurotransmitter release mechanisms. In the presence of strychnine, an antagonist of glycine receptors, the Glyght effect on GABAergic synaptic transmission was absent. Our results suggest that Glyght can modulate GABAergic synaptic transmission via action on extrasynaptic glycine receptors.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit enthält neue Erkenntnisse in Bezug auf die Frage, ob die Änderung einer Analystenempfehlung für Aktien neue Informationen enthält und ein Anleger eine abnormale Rendite erzielen kann. Darüber hinaus wird untersucht, ob in Phasen des konjunkturellen Abschwungs eine höhere abnormale Rendite im Vergleich zu einem konjunkturellen Aufschwung ausgewiesen wird. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Aktienkurse signifikant positiv auf Kaufempfehlungen und signifikant negativ auf Verkaufsempfehlungen reagieren. Zusätzlich wird belegt, dass eine höhere und zeitlich längere Reaktion auf eine Verkaufsempfehlung gegenüber einer Kaufempfehlung stattfindet. Es wird außerdem festgestellt, dass auch bei isolierter Betrachtung der Konjunkturzyklen (Aufschwung und Abschwung) eine abnormale Rendite erzielt wird. Zudem verzeichnen negative Veränderungen der Analystenempfehlungen eine höhere abnormale Rendite als jene bei positiven Veränderungen.
description: The master thesis provides evidence to the question whether the change of an analyst recommendations for stocks contain new information and whether an investor can achieve an abnormal return. Furthermore, it is examined whether a higher abnormal return is shown in phases of economic downturn compared to an economic upswing. The results show that share prices react significantly positive to buy recommendations and significantly negative to sell recommendations. In addition, it is shown that there is a higher and longer reaction to a sell recommendation compared to a buy recommendation. Even by considering the economic cycles (upswing and downturn) an abnormal return is achieved. In addition, negative changes in the analyst recommendations generate a higher abnormal return than those with positive changes.

description: Imitation Learning techniques enable programming the behavior of agents through demonstrations rather than manual engineering. However, they are limited by the quality of available demonstration data. Interactive Imitation Learning techniques can improve the efficacy of learning since they involve teachers providing feedback while the agent executes its task. In this work, we propose a novel Interactive Learning technique that uses human feedback in state-space to train and improve agent behavior (as opposed to alternative methods that use feedback in action-space). Our method titled Teaching Imitative Policies in State-space~(TIPS) enables providing guidance to the agent in terms of `changing its state' which is often more intuitive for a human demonstrator. Through continuous improvement via corrective feedback, agents trained by non-expert demonstrators using TIPS outperformed the demonstrator and conventional Imitation Learning agents.

Investigations of the Dynamics of Models of Heat Transfer and Clustering

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 10599 Mathematical Physics not elsewhere classified
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We investigate two models that are widely used in physics and engineering. Our main goal is to study conjectures made by physicists with full mathematical rigor.
 The first model we investigate is the advection-diffusion equation. Here, we address the problem of optimizing heat transfer via an incompressible fluid in a bounded domain. We use techniques in probability theory to get bounds for the heat transfer rate. Asymptotically, we obtain matching lower and upper bounds (up to a logarithmic factor) over a class of velocity field of the fluid that satisfies an energy like constraint. This gives a rigorous proof for a result by Marcotte et. al. (SIAM Appl. Math ’18). We also give an upper bound for for the problem under an enstrophy-like constraint.
 The second model is the coagulation-fragmentation equation, which models the evolution ofthe density particle sizes in a system where particles can split and merge. Depending on the coagulation and fragmentation kernels, solutions of the system will behave differently. Here, we address two problems. The first problem concerns the well-posedness of mass-conserving solutions when the coagulation kernel is multiplicative and the fragmentation kernel constant. This belongs to a so-called critical case, where existence of mass-conserving solutions depends on how large the system is initially. Here, we develop a new technique by studying properties of the viscosity solutions of a corresponding singular Hamilton-Jacobi equation to deduce information about the solutions to the coagulation fragmentation equation. Using this technique, we moved one step closer to resolving a long-standing conjecture in the field.
 Still under the umbrella of the coagulation-fragmentation equation, we study the dynamics of the solution when the coagulation kernel is multiplicative and the fragmentation kernel additive and small. The problem we are concerned here resembles singular perturbation problems in PDEs. Letting the fragmentation kernel vanish, in the limit, one expects that the solutions tend to the so-called Flory solution of the pure multiplicative coagulation equation, where part of the total mass escapes to infinity. We study how the lost mass behaves. Our proposed idea is based on the study of a nonlinear backward parabolic equation, result from the Bernstein transform of the equation, and a detailed study of the tail behavior of the Flory solution of the pure coagulation equation with multiplicative kernel. With this idea, we made some progress towards resolving a prediction by Ben-Naim and Krapivsky (Phys. Rev. E 83, 061102, 2011).

description: Driving under the influence of psychoactive substances is a major social problem in all European countries. Depending on the legislation of each country, this term can refer to a driver who shows a measurable reduction in cognitive or psychomotor skills, impulsivity or concentration of the psychoactive substance in the blood that exceeds a specified limit and is expected to have the above-mentioned effects, or any trace of substances in the blood. The methodology of approaching the problem is done with experimental and epidemiological studies. Medecines of anxiety(benzodiazepines), allergies(antihistamines)and depression(antidepressants)can cause negative effects on driving behavior resulting in the injury or even death of the drivers and passengers involved. The Greek legislation should follow the European one, regarding the determination of Limits of medicinal substances in the blood, so that there is a specific attribution of responsibilities

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: In recent years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has become increasingly prevalent in modern societies. By integrating various sensors and logic controllers, IoT devices are utilized for automation in many different contexts, such as smart homes, agriculture, and manufacturing. Unfortunately, these devices are prone to have security vulnerabilities. This could be because these devices were designed with no bad actors in mind, or because their implementations contain security flaws. In order to provide more students with an opportunity to learn about potential IoT security risks, it would be highly desirable to provide hands-on exercises that are economical, scalable and safe to use. This thesis aims to develop new learning resources to support this goal, and it makes two contributions: (i) the design of a fictional factory that uses various IoT devices and protocols in an automated production line, showcasing an emerging paradigm known as Industrial IoT (IIoT); and (ii) the design and implementation of a set of Jeopardy-style CTF challenges that uses the IoT devices in this factory in a coherent storyline to test the skills and knowledge of students in various security concepts related to these devices.

description: Light degrees of freedom that modify gravity on cosmological scales must be "screened" on solar system scales in order to be compatible with data. The Vainshtein mechanism achieves this through a breakdown of classical perturbation theory, as large interactions involving new degrees of freedom become important below the so-called Vainshtein radius. We begin to develop an extension of the Parameterized Post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism that is able to handle Vainshteinian corrections. We argue that theories with a unique Vainshtein scale must be expanded using two small parameters. In this Parameterized Post-Newtonian-Vainshteinian (PPNV) expansion, the primary expansion parameter that controls the PPN order is, as usual, the velocity $v$. The secondary expansion parameter, $α$, controls the strength of the Vainshteinian correction and is a theory-specific combination of the Schwarzschild radius and the Vainshtein radius of the source that is independent of its mass. We present the general framework and apply it to Cubic Galileon theory both inside and outside the Vainshtein radius. The PPNV framework can be used to determine the compatibility of such theories with solar system and other strong-field data.

description: The aim of this scoping review is to highlight what is known about the relationship between exposure to certain characteristics of persuasive messages and mental well-being of their receivers. Keeping mental well-being of the recipients in mind is especially important in the context of health communication (take for instance the recent Covid-19 crisis) or risk communication which plays a critical role in prevention, adherence to the guidelines, and reduction of anxiety and fear. But what happens when precisely the way we communicate becomes a source or further anxiety and fear? And how can we communicate better with vulnerable populations? This scoping review aims to synthesize what is known about the relationship between exposure to certain characteristics of persuasive messages (defined as persuasive and informational messages) and mental well-being of message receivers. Furthermore, it aims to summarize what is known about the role of prior mental well-being or mental health state in processing of persuasive messages across different literature pockets. The findings from this scoping review will guide further interview and experimental studies on the topic. More information about the project can be found in the attached document.

description: We study an inverse problem for the fractional Schrödinger equation (FSE) with a local perturbation by a linear partial differential operator (PDO) of order smaller than the order of the fractional Laplacian. We show that one can uniquely recover the coefficients of the PDO from the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DN) map associated to the perturbed FSE. This is proved for two classes of coefficients: coefficients which belong to certain spaces of Sobolev multipliers and coefficients which belong to fractional Sobolev spaces with bounded derivatives. Our study generalizes recent results for the zeroth and first order perturbations to higher order perturbations.

description: By using a combined amplitude analysis of the $γγ\rightarrow D\bar{D}$ and $γγ\rightarrow J/ψω$ data, we demonstrate that the $X(3915)$, which is quoted as a $J^{PC}=0^{++}$ state in the Particle Data Group table, is favored by the data to be a $J^{PC}=2^{++}$ state appearing in both channels, which means that the $X(3915)$ and the $X(3930)$ can be regarded as the same $J^{PC}=2^{++}$ state. Meanwhile, the data also prefer a large helicity-0 contribution of this tensor resonance to the amplitudes instead of the helicity-2 dominance assumed by {\it BABAR}, which may indicate a sizable portion of non-$q\bar q$ components in this state. Identifying the $X(3915)$ with the $X(3930)$ and abandoning the helicity-2 dominance for this tensor state are helpful for the further understandings of the properties of this state and also of the mysterious "$XYZ$" charmoniumlike resonances.

description: This research examines how mayors’ fiscal decisions affect their likelihood of re-election, with a particular focus on their use of political business cycle tactics during local elections. The theory suggests that there are some incentives for incumbents to manipulate fiscal policy at the local level. The study examines the budgets of 2475 local government units in Poland over 15 years, covering three full local election cycles, using a panel data logit model to assess the influence of their fiscal activity on re-election outcomes. The results show that increasing deficits or investments in election years can significantly improve the re-election prospects of mayors, with a stronger effect for investments. However, investment is less susceptible to short-term changes and deficits are easier to influence. Increasing the deficit raises the likelihood of re-election by about 80% (odds ratios), while running large budget surpluses through reduced spending can effectively eliminate the chances of re-election. Furthermore, increasing debt has no significant effect on re-election chances. The research also examines which categories of local government are most likely to exhibit incumbency behaviour consistent with political business cycle theory. The overall analysis highlights the complex relationship between fiscal policy choices and electoral victory in local government. It provides insights into political strategies and their consequences for political accountability and fiscal responsibility. The research findings suggest the need for additional checks and balances, such as deficit ceilings, to counteract politically motivated fiscal mismanagement and underline the importance of fiscal responsibility in local governance.

description: Με την παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία επιχειρήθηκε η ανάλυση και η αξιολόγηση της λειτουργίας του ανασταλτικού αποτελέσματος του ενδίκου μέσου της έφεσης, στο χώρο τόσο της προδικασίας, όσο και της επ’ ακροατηρίου διαδικασίας. Οι επάλληλες νομοθετικές παρεμβάσεις που υπέστη ο εν λόγω χώρος του ποινικού δικονομικού δικαίου μετά τη θέση σε ισχύ του Νέου Κώδικα Ποινικής Δικονομίας και τα συνεπεία αυτών ανακύπτοντα ζητήματα ερμηνείας, αλλά και συμβατότητας του θεσμού με κείμενα υπερνομοθετικής ισχύος, κατέστησαν την προσπάθεια ανάλυσής του, αλλά και την αξιολόγησή του επίκαιρη και συγχρόνως επιτακτική. Σε ένα πρώτο στάδιο, το ενδιαφέρον επικεντρώθηκε στην αναζήτηση των εξοπλισμένων με αυξημένη τυπική δύναμη διατάξεων του εθνικού, του ευρωπαϊκού αλλά και του διεθνούς δικαίου, οι οποίες κατοχυρώνουν το δικαίωμα ανάπτυξης ανασταλτικής δύναμης από την άσκηση του ενδίκου μέσου. Στη συνέχεια εξετάστηκε η λειτουργία του θεσμού στο χώρο των βουλευμάτων και των αποφάσεων, στις οποίες και εστιάστηκε το ενδιαφέρον, λόγω των τροποποιήσεων του πρόσφατου νόμου 4855/2021, οι οποίες μετέβαλαν συνολικά το τοπίο. Τέλος, εξετάστηκε η ευχέρεια του κατηγορουμένου να αιτηθεί την αναστολή εκτέλεσης της καταδικαστικής σε βάρος του απόφασης από το δευτεροβάθμιο δικαστήριο, όταν η σχετική δυνατότητα δεν του χορηγήθηκε από το δικάσαν σε πρώτο βαθμό την υπόθεσή του δικαστήριο, αλλά και η περίπτωση που το τελευταίο χορήγησε μεν την αναστολή, πλην όμως ανέκυψαν αμφιβολίες ως προς την ισχύ της
description: The present master’s thesis has attempted to analyze and evaluate the function of the suspensive effect of the appeal, both in the pre-trial procedure and during the trial process. The concurrent legislative interventions that the above field of criminal procedural law has undergone since the New Code of Criminal Procedure entered into force and the resulting issues of interpretation and compatibility of the institution with supra-legislative texts have made the effort of analyzing and evaluating it relevant and urgent. Initially, the focus was set on identifying the provisions of national, European, and international law that guarantee the right to a suspensive force being developed from the exercise of the legal remedy. Moreover, the functioning of the institution in the field of both council and court decisions was examined, with a particular focus on the latter due to the modifications introduced by the recent law 4855/2021, which have changed the landscape radically. Finally, the ease with which the defendant can request the suspension of the enforcement of the sentence against them from the appellate court when the possibility was not granted to them by the court of first instance, as well as the case where the latter granted the suspension, but doubts arose as to its validity, was examined
Scalar resonance in graviton-graviton scattering at high-energies: the graviball

description: We study graviton-graviton scattering in partial-wave amplitudes after unitarizing their Born terms. In order to apply S-matrix techniques, based on unitarity and analyticity, we introduce an S-matrix associated to this resummation that is free of infrared divergences. This is achieved by removing the diverging phase factor calculated by Weinberg that multiplies the S matrix, and that stems from the virtual infrared gravitons. A scalar graviton-graviton resonance with vacuum quantum numbers (J^{PC}=0^{++}) is obtained as a pole in the nonperturbative S-wave amplitude, which we call the {\it graviball}. Its resonant effects along the physical real-s axis may peak at values substantially lower than the UV cutoff squared of the theory. For some scenarios, this phenomenon could have phenomenological consequences at relatively low-energy scales, similarly to the σresonance in QCD.

A realizability-preserving high-order kinetic scheme using WENO reconstruction for entropy-based moment closures of linear kinetic equations in slab geometry

description: We develop a high-order kinetic scheme for entropy-based moment models of a one-dimensional linear kinetic equation in slab geometry. High-order spatial reconstructions are achieved using the weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) method, and for time integration we use multi-step Runge-Kutta methods which are strong stability preserving and whose stages and steps can be written as convex combinations of forward Euler steps. We show that the moment vectors stay in the realizable set using these time integrators along with a maximum principle-based kinetic-level limiter, which simultaneously dampens spurious oscillations in the numerical solutions. We present numerical results both on a manufactured solution, where we perform convergence tests showing our scheme converges of the expected order up to the numerical noise from the numerical optimization, as well as on two standard benchmark problems, where we show some of the advantages of high-order solutions and the role of the key parameter in the limiter.
Ab initio interaction potentials and scattering lengths for ultracold mixtures of metastable helium and alkali-metal atoms

description: We have obtained accurate ab initio quartet potentials for the diatomic metastable triplet helium + alkali-metal (Li, Na, K, Rb) systems, using all-electron restricted open-shell coupled cluster singles and doubles with noniterative triples corrections [CCSD(T)] calculations and accurate calculations of the long-range $C_6$ coefficients. These potentials provide accurate ab initio quartet scattering lengths, which for these many-electron systems is possible, because of the small reduced masses and shallow potentials that results in a small amount of bound states. Our results are relevant for ultracold metastable triplet helium + alkali-metal mixture experiments.

description: Background: Arterial wall inflammation in giant cell arteritis (GCA) is characterised by T-cell infiltration and the formation of granulomas with macrophages. A strong MHC II association with GCA suggests that antigen-specific immune processes may play a crucial role in GCA pathogenesis. However, to date there have been limited studies investigating the prevalence of T-cell clones in GCA lesions. Here we present an analysis on T-cell receptor (TCR) repertoires of blood and temporal artery biopsy samples from 26 GCA patients. We aimed to identify disease specific T-cell clones shared by GCA patients. Analysis of TCR sequences is a first step towards identifying a potential auto-antigen. Methods: We compared the TCR sequences identified through bulk TCR sequencing of blood and biopsy tissue of GCA patients to those found in control groups. Controls were made up of 41 patients with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH), 30 healthy subjects as well as a publicly available additional dataset containing TCR repertoires of 627 healthy individuals. Results: We identified 49 TCRs that exclusively occur in GCA patients. Each of them was found in the biopsy samples of at least 8 different GCA patients. These T-cells may be involved in the disease processes and were also detected in the blood of the patient as well as the biopsy. The GCA-specific TCRs show preferential use of certain V and J segments, which is in line with the known MHC association of GCA. Clustering of patients based on the TCRs identified in their biopsy samples results in three distinct patient groups that did not correlate with age or sex of the individuals. Further studies are underway to expand this cohort and explore association with GCA clinical phenotype. Conclusions: These preliminary results suggest that certain TCRs are typical for and specific to GCA patients. Further studies will investigate association with more refractory disease and persistence following treatment, to determine if they may identify a subgroup of patients who would benefit from T-cell targeted therapies. Further analysis of sequence patterns may ultimately reveal whether these TCRs bind a common autoantigen providing further insights into disease pathogenesis.

description: Driving under the influence of drugs is a major social problem in all European countries. Depending on the legislation of each country, this term can refer to a driver who shows a measurable reduction in cognitive or psychomotor skills, impulsivity or concentration of the drug substance in the blood that exceeds a specified limit and is expected to have the above- mentioned effects, or any trace of substances in the blood. The methodology of approaching the problem is done with experimental and epidemiological studies. The use of drugs can cause negative effects on driving behavior resulting in the injury or even death of the drivers and passengers involved. The Greek legislation should follow the European one, regarding the determination of limits of drugs in the blood, so that there is a specific attribution of responsibilities.
