description: We present the type-1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) sample extracted from the VIMOS VLT Deep Survey first observations of 21000 spectra in 1.75 square degree. This sample, which is purely magnitude limited, free of morphological or color selection biases, contains 130 broad line AGN (BLAGN) spectra with redshift up to 5. Our data are divided into a wide (Iab < 22.5) and a deep (Iab < 24) subsample containing 56 and 74 objects respectively. Because of its depth and selection criteria, this sample is uniquely suited to study the population of faint type-1 AGN. Our measured surface density (~ 472 +- 48 BLAGN per square degree with Iab < 24) is significantly higher than that of any other optically selected sample of BLAGN with spectroscopic confirmation. By applying a morphological and color analysis to our AGN sample we find that: (1)~23% of the AGN brighter than Iab=22.5 are classified as extended; this percentage increases to ~42% for those with z < 1.6; (2) a non-negligible fraction of our BLAGN are lying close to the color space area occupied by stars in u*-g' versus g'-r' color-color diagram. This leads us to the conclusion that classical optical ultraviolet preselection technique, if employed at such deep magnitudes (Iab=22.5) in conjuction with a preselection of point-like sources, can miss miss up to ~35% of the AGN population. Finally, we present a composite spectrum of our sample of objects. While the continuum shape is very similar to that of the SDSS composite at short wavelengths, it is much redder than it at lambda > 3000 A. We interpret this as due to significant contamination from emission of the host galaxies, as expected from the faint absolute magnitudes sampled by our survey.

description: The causal representation of multi-loop scattering amplitudes, obtained from the application of the loop-tree duality formalism, comprehensively elucidates, at integrand level, the behaviour of only physical singularities. This representation is found to manifest compact expressions for multi-loop topologies that have the same number of \textit{vertices}. Interestingly, integrands considered in former studies, with up-to six vertices and $L$ internal lines, display the same structure of up-to four-loop ones. The former is an insight that there should be a correspondence between vertices and the collection of internal lines, \textit{edges}, that characterise a multi-loop topology. By virtue of this relation, in this paper, we embrace an approach to properly classify multi-loop topologies according to vertices and edges. Differently from former studies, we consider the most general topologies, by connecting vertices and edges in all possible ways. Likewise, we provide a procedure to generate causal representation of multi-loop topologies by considering the structure of causal propagators. Explicit causal representations of loop topologies with up-to nine vertices are provided.

Η συνολική παρουσίαση της εργασίας διαρθρώθηκε καταχωρίζοντας το προς μελέτη υλικό σε δύο επιμέρους βασικές ενότητες, οι οποίες ασχολούνται με τους θεσμούς της δουλείας και της απελευθέρωσης αντίστοιχα, δεδομένου ότι οι δύο αυτές έννοιες του ρωμαϊκού δικαίου αλληλοεξαρτώνται αντιθετικά, αποτελώντας η μία την αντίθετη φύση της άλλης. Στο πρώτο μέρος της εργασίας εξετάζεται η έννοια της δουλείας και το πώς αυτή γινόταν αντιληπτή από τα μέλη της ρωμαϊκής κοινωνίας, ενώ παράλληλα γίνεται λόγος για την κοινωνική και νομική υπόσταση του δούλου. Επίσης, περιγράφονται οι διατάξεις του Ρωμαϊκού Δικαίου οι οποίες υπαγόρευαν την περιαγωγή του ατόμου στο καθεστώς της δουλείας, ενώ παρακάτω γίνεται ιδιαίτερη αναφορά στην πρακτική του δουλεμπορίου.

description: The purpose of the present thesis was to investigate and thoroughly study both the institution of slavery itself and that of the process of the manumission of slaves in Roman law. The overall presentation of the work was structured by listing the material to be studied in two separate basic units dealing with the institutions of slavery and manumission, respectively, since these two concepts of Roman law are interdependent, one being the opposite nature of the other . The first part of the thesis, examines the concept of slavery and how it was perceived by the members of Roman society, while talking about the social and legal status of the slave. It also describes the provisions of Roman law which dictated the roaming of the individual to slavery, while below special mention is made of the practice of slave trade. The second part of the thesis occupies the study of the institution of manumission, the motives, the possible ways of its implementation, the possible modifications, the simplifications and the limitations that this institution suffered during the days of the hegemony of Augustus, the first emperor of Rome, the types of freedmen and the overall overview of their legal status, as well as the drawing of conclusions, all seen in the light of a thorough study and exploitation of the sources of Roman Law in conjunction with modern bibliography

Norming Algebras and Automatic Complete Boundedness of Isomorphisms of Operator Algebras

Subjects: subject: Operator Algebras (math.OA)

description: We combine the notion of norming algebra introduced by Pop, Sinclair and Smith with a result of Pisier to show that if A_1 and A_2 are operator algebras, then any bounded epimorphism of A_1 onto A_2 is completely bounded provided that A_2 contains a norming C*-subalgebra. We use this result to give some insights into Kadison's Similarity Problem: we show that every faithful bounded homomorphism of a C*-algebra on a Hilbert space has completely bounded inverse, and show that a bounded representation of a C*-algebra is similar to a *-representation precisely when the image operator algebra λ-norms itself. We give two applications to isometric isomorphisms of certain operator algebras. The first is an extension of a result of Davidson and Power on isometric isomorphisms of CSL algebras. Secondly, we show that an isometric isomorphism between subalgebras A_i of C*-diagonals (C_i,D_i) (i=1,2) satisfying D_i \subseteq A_i \subseteq C_i extends uniquely to a *-isomorphism of the C*-algebras generated by A_1 and A_2; this generalizes results of Muhly-Qiu-Solel and Donsig-Pitts.

Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem in higher dimensions from approximate magnetic translation symmetry

description: We prove the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorem on the energy spectrum of a general two or three-dimensional quantum many-body system with the U(1) particle number conservation and translation symmetry. Especially, it is demonstrated that the theorem holds in a system with long-range interactions. To this end, we introduce approximate magnetic translation symmetry under the total magnetic flux $Φ=2π$ instead of the exact translation symmetry, and explicitly construct low energy variational states. The energy spectrum at $Φ=2π$ is shown to agree with that at $Φ=0$ in the thermodynamic limit, which concludes the LSM theorem.

Συμφέρον έχει κανείς να ζει ή και να μην υποφέρει, όχι όμως και να πεθάνει. Τέτοιες σκέψεις αποτελούν διαστρέβλωση της έννοιας του δικαιώματος και δεν μπορούν να γίνουν δεκτές
description: The aim of the present thesis was the manifold subject of euthanasia. We first examined the types of euthanasia and then we analysed if there is a right to die, which could be seen as the opposite of the right to life or as an aspect of the right to develop one’s personality or as stemming from the human value. We led to the conclusion that such right does not exist, since indispensable element of the right is the interest, which means that it would be controversial that the death be reckoned as such. People have interest in living or not suffering but not in dying. Such thoughts constitute distortion of the notion of the right, that’s why they are not acceptable

description: As estimators of location parameters, univariate trimmed means are well known for their robustness and efficiency. They can serve as robust alternatives to the sample mean while possessing high efficiencies at normal as well as heavy-tailed models. This paper introduces multidimensional trimmed means based on projection depth induced regions. Robustness of these depth trimmed means is investigated in terms of the influence function and finite sample breakdown point. The influence function captures the local robustness whereas the breakdown point measures the global robustness of estimators. It is found that the projection depth trimmed means are highly robust locally as well as globally. Asymptotics of the depth trimmed means are investigated via those of the directional radius of the depth induced regions. The strong consistency, asymptotic representation and limiting distribution of the depth trimmed means are obtained. Relative to the mean and other leading competitors, the depth trimmed means are highly efficient at normal or symmetric models and overwhelmingly more efficient when these models are contaminated. Simulation studies confirm the validity of the asymptotic efficiency results at finite samples.

description: In this paper, we systematically study gravitational waves (GWs) produced by remote compact astrophysical sources. To describe such GWs properly, we introduce three scales, $λ, \; L_c$ and $L$, denoting, respectively, the typical wavelength of GWs, the scale of the cosmological perturbations, and the size of the observable universe. For GWs to be detected by the current and foreseeable detectors, the condition $λ\ll L_c \ll L$ holds, and such GWs can be well approximated as high-frequency GWs. In order for the backreaction of the GWs to the background to be negligible, we must assume that $\left|h_{μν}\right| \ll 1$, in addition to the condition $ε\ll 1$, which are also the conditions for the linearized Einstein field equations for $h_{μν}$ to be valid, where $g_{μν} = γ_{μν} + εh_{μν}$, and $γ_{μν}$ denotes the background. To simplify the field equations, we show that the spatial, traceless, and Lorentz gauge conditions can be imposed simultaneously, even when the background is not vacuum, as long as the high-frequency GW approximation is valid. However, to develop the formulas that can be applicable to as many cases as possible, we first write down explicitly the linearized Einstein field equations by imposing only the spatial gauge. Applying the general formulas together with the geometrical optics approximation to such GWs, we find that they still move along null geodesics and its polarization bi-vector is parallel-transported, even when both the cosmological scalar and tensor perturbations are present. In addition, we also calculate the gravitational integrated Sachs-Wolfe effects, whereby the dependences of the amplitude, phase and luminosity distance of the GWs on these two kinds of perturbations are read out explicitly.

description: We present an analytic mean field theory for relaxational dynamics in spatially extended systems that undergo purely noise-induced phase transitions to ordered states. The theory augments the usual mean field approach with a Gaussian ansatz that yields quantitatively accurate results for strong coupling. We obtain analytic results not only for steady state mean fields and distribution widths, but also for the dynamical approach to a steady state or to collective oscillatory behaviors in multi-field systems. Because the theory yields dynamical information, it can also predict the initial-condition-dependent final state (disordered state, steady or oscillatory ordered state) in multistable arrays.

description: This dissertation explores the relationship between socio-cognitive and cognitive abilities and the emotion regulation strategies of cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression in children at the end of elementary school. The sample of the survey consisted of 94 sixth grade students, boys (N = 50) and girls (N =44) of schools in Thessaloniki, from different educational and socio-economic backgrounds. Two categories of measurements were provided: (a) cognitive tools for the evaluation of theory of mind, verbal ability and inhibitory control, and (b) self-report questionnaires for the evaluation of emotion regulation strategies and empathy. Both the high ability in the affect dimension of the theory of mind and the cognitive and affect dimension of empathy seemed to be positively linked to the choice of the cognitive reappraisal and negatively to the strategy of expressive suppression suggesting that children tend to choose based, on their references, functional emotion regulation strategies

description: We study a singular parabolic equation of the total variation type in one dimension. The problem is a simplification of the singular curvature flow. We show existence and uniqueness of weak solutions. We also prove existence of weak solutions to the semi-discretization of the problem as well as convergence of the approximating sequences. The semi-discretization shows that facets must form. For a class of initial data we are able to study in details the facet formation and interactions and their asymptotic behavior. We notice that our qualitative results may be interpreted with the help of a special composition of multivalued operators.

description: In a previous work, we noted that vacua with higher flux could be obtained by recombination of a small set of hidden-sector branes, numbering up to the Kahler degrees of freedom left to be fixed in the problem. Here, we discuss the general construction of Type IIB Standard Model flux vacua in which multiple branes participate in brane recombination in the hidden sector. We present several models with 4, 5 and 10 branes in a stack. They are complete with Pati-Salam gauge group, Standard Model chiral matter, and a hidden sector that combines with nonzero flux to satisfy RR tadpole constraints. We also illustrate a puzzle: within the 4-brane recombination approach, we are unable to find a formal cutoff on the number of Standard Model flux vacua. Nevertheless, we show that phenomenological considerations are sure to cut off the number of vacua, albeit at an extraordinarily large value. We comment on the possibility that more formal constraints could further reduce the number of vacua.

description: Background: Gender dysphoria involves a conflict between a person's physical or assigned gender and the gender with which he/she/they identify (American Psychiatric Association). Gender dysphoria identities can be incredibly complex for both the gender dysphoria person and those around them, including parents. The researcher works as a Psychotherapist in a youth centre in Urban Ireland. Noticing the increasing number of gender dysphoria youth presenting for support at the centre, whilst having no support facilities for parents locally, this study aimed to explore their experiences to ascertain their needsa nd devise mechanisms for support within the community. Methods: This study was a collaborative under taking with parents and stakeholders, adopting an action research approach. Data was collected qualitatively using semi-structured interviews from three parents of the members in a trans non-binary youth support group, who identify with gender dysphoria. Data was analysed thematically using the software QDA Miner Lite, and a formative style of evaluation was applied. Results: The data gathered identified Four prominent themes; feeling let down by the medical profession and support services, resilience and pride in the face of loss and mourning, feeling judged and alone in their journey while worrying about the future their child may face and parents seeking a place to belong and build a support network. Conclusions: Collaboration with parents and stakeholders within the organisation allowed for a dynamic and thorough research process. The knowledge generated was critical in helping the researcher lay the foundations to move forward with next steps in implementing community-based supports.

description: In a pair of papers, we construct invariants for smooth four-manifolds equipped with `broken fibrations' - the singular Lefschetz fibrations of Auroux, Donaldson and Katzarkov - generalising the Donaldson-Smith invariants for Lefschetz fibrations. The `Lagrangian matching invariants' are designed to be comparable with the Seiberg-Witten invariants of the underlying four-manifold. They fit into a field theory which assigns Floer homology groups to fibred 3-manifolds. The invariants are derived from moduli spaces of pseudo-holomorphic sections of relative Hilbert schemes of points on the fibres, subject to Lagrangian boundary conditions. Part I is devoted to the symplectic geometry of these Lagrangians.

description: Solutions of semi-classical Schrodinger equation with isotropic harmonic potential focus periodically in time. We study the perturbation of this equation by a nonlinear term. If the scaling of this perturbation is critical, each focus crossing is described by a nonlinear scattering operator, which is therefore iterated as many times as the solution passes through a focus. The study of this nonlinear problem is made possible by the introduction of two operators well adapted to Schrodinger equations with harmonic potential, and by suitable Strichartz inequalities.

We examine the Yang-Mills functional associated with this connection. The theory it defines differs from Yang-Mills theory in that it is a theory of surfaces. We focus, in particular, on the Euler-Lagrange equations describing this surface, introducing a framework which throws light on their relationship to the Yang-Mills equations.

Μελετήθηκε ο βαθμός κατανόησης της συντακτικής δομής και της σημασίας του προφορικού λόγου με τη χρήση διάφορων τύπων αναφορικών προτάσεων αλλά και η κατανόηση και χρήση των ρημάτων ΡΩΤΩ και ΛΕΓΩ. Στην έρευνα πήραν μέρος 44 μαθητές (33 μαθητές δημοτικών σχολείων και 11 προσχολικής αγωγής). Την πειραματική ομάδα αποτέλεσαν 11 μαθητές με κώφωση ή βαρηκοΐα ενώ οι τρεις ομάδες ελέγχου συγκροτήθηκαν από 33 μαθητές τυπικής ανάπτυξης. Στο κύριο μέρος της μελέτης κλήθηκαν να ακούσουν μικρές ιστορίες με πρωταγωνιστές παιδιά, κατά την πρώτη φάση εξέτασης, και με άγρια ζώα κατά τη δεύτερη, και με τη βοήθεια των ανάλογων σκίτσων να απαντήσουν σε ερωτήσεις κατανόησης. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι οι μαθητές με προβλήματα ακοής παρουσιάζουν γλωσσικά ελλείμματα, σε σχέση με τα παιδιά τυπικής ανάπτυξης
description: Our primary research objective was the study of deficits in the language development of deaf and hearing-impaired children that possess verbal speech, in comparison to hearing students. The level of comprehension of syntactical structures and the meaning of verbal speech with the usage of various relative clauses were studies, as well as the comprehension and usage of the reporting verbs “ask” and “say”. The conducted research included 44 students (33 elementary school students and 11 pre-school students). The experimental group consisted of 11 students with deafness or hearing impairment. In the main part of the research, each student was asked to listen to short stories with child protagonists in the first examination phase, and with wild animal protagonists in the second. Afterwards, each student was asked to respond to comprehension questions with the help of relevant sketches. The results showed that the students with deafness or hearing impairment exhibited linguistic deficits as compared to the students of typical development

description: Simulating soft matter systems such as the cytoskeleton can enable deep understanding of experimentally observed phenomena. One challenge of modeling such systems is realistic description of the steric repulsion between nearby polymers. Previous models of the polymeric excluded volume interaction have the deficit of being non-analytic, being computationally expensive, or allowing polymers to erroneously cross each other. A recent solution to these issues, implemented in the MEDYAN simulation platform, uses analytical expressions obtained from integrating an interaction kernel along the lengths of two polymer segments to describe their repulsion. Here, we extend this model by re-deriving it for lower-dimensional geometrical configurations, deriving similar expressions using a steeper interaction kernel, comparing it to other commonly used potentials, and showing how to parameterize these models. We also generalize this new integrated style of potential by introducing a segmental Lennard-Jones potential, which enables modelling both attractive and repulsive interactions in semi-flexible polymer networks. These results can be further generalized to facilitate the development of effective interaction potentials for other finite elements in simulations of soft-matter systems.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας μεταπτυχιακής διπλωματικής εργασίας ήταν η μελέτη της οπτικής λογικής του κακού στον κινηματογράφο, ο τρόπος δηλαδή με τον οποίο μορφοποιείται και καθίσταται συγκεκριμένη η αφηρημένη έννοια του κακού μέσω του κινηματογράφου, αλλά και η διαδραστική σχέση μεταξύ της Έβδομης Τέχνης και των θεατών. Επιδιώχθηκε ακόμη να ερευνηθεί η σχέση μεταξύ των εννοιών του καλού και του κακού, αλλά και πως επηρέασε τη φιλοσοφία, τις επιστήμες και τις Καλές Τέχνες, οι οποίες μεταδίδουν με μοναδικό τρόπο κάθε φορά κοινωνικά και πολιτικά μηνύματα που αφορούν άμεσα τον καθένα μας και το κοινωνικό γίγνεσθαι. Επιπλέον δόθηκε έμφαση στη σύμπραξη μεταξύ της αισθητικής φύσης του κινηματογράφου με τη διαλεκτική φύση της φιλοσοφίας, η οποία συμβάλλει στην ανάπτυξη τόσο της λογικής, όσο και της συναισθηματικής διάστασης του ατόμου ως ύπαρξη στο σύνολό της
description: The purpose of this dissertation was the study of the visual sense of evil in cinematography. The means that is, by which the abstract concept of evil gives form and renders it either material or abstract via cinematography, as well as the interactive correlation between the Seventh Art and the audience. There was also an attempt to research the relation between the concepts of ‘good’ and ‘evil’ but also how it influenced philosophy, the sciences and the Fine Arts, which in their own way and per instance uniquely convey socio-political messages which directly concern social reality and each of us individually. There was also emphasis placed on the aesthetic nature of cinematography and the dialectic nature of philosophy which in tandem contribute so much so to the development of logicality, as to the compassionate dimension of the individual as an existence as a whole

description: We consider attractive irreducible conservative particle systems on $\mathbb{Z}$, without necessarily nearest-neighbor jumps or explicit invariant measures. We prove that for such systems, the hydrodynamic limit under Euler time scaling exists and is given by the entropy solution to some scalar conservation law with Lipschitz-continuous flux. Our approach is a generalization of Bahadoran et al. [Stochastic Process. Appl. 99 (2002) 1--30], from which we relax the assumption that the process has explicit invariant measures.

Σκηνές βίας στις τραγωδίες του Σενέκα Phaedra, Medea, Thyestes

description: Ελλείψει μαρτυριών και αρχαιολογικών ευρημάτων, πολλά ζητήματα γύρω από τις τραγωδίες του Σενέκα παραμένουν γενικώς σκοτεινά. Ανάμεσα σε αυτά καταλέγεται και το αν οι τραγωδίες αυτές δημιουργήθηκαν εξαρχής για να παρασταθούν ή αν ο προορισμός τους ήταν η απαγγελία ή απλή ανάγνωση σε κάποια δημόσια περίσταση (recitatio). Το κυριότερo επιχείρημα των μελετητών που διατείνονται ότι οι τραγωδίες δεν ήταν προορισμένες για τη σκηνή, σχετίζεται με την απόφαση του Σενέκα να συμπεριλάβει σκηνές μεγάλης βίας στα δράματά του, πολλές από τις οποίες θα πρέπει μάλλον να τις φανταστούμε να λαμβάνουν χώρα επί σκηνής. Η εργασία αυτή λοιπόν φιλοδοξεί να εξετάσει σε ποιο βαθμό οι σκηνές βίας που εμφανίζονται στις τραγωδίες του Σενέκα λειτουργούν ανασταλτικά για το ανέβασμά τους στη σκηνή και αν η επιλογή του ποιητή να τις συμπεριλάβει στα δράματά του υποδηλώνει κάτι για τον σκοπό σύνθεσής τους. Η μελέτη επικεντρώνεται σε τρεις τραγωδίες, τις πιο βίαιες και αιματοβαμμένες: τη Phaedra, τη Medea και τον Thyestes
description: Due to the lack of testimonies and archaeological evidence, a lot of issues around Seneca’s tragedies remain still in doubt. It has been long debated whether Seneca’s tragedies are aimed to be performed or recited in a ceremonious occasion. The most common argument among the scholars who argue that Seneca’s tragedies are not intended to be staged, points to Seneca’s decision to introduce scenes of intense violence into his tragedies, most of which presumably take place on stage. This paper aspires to investigate the extent to which these scenes of violence obstruct the staging of the tragedies and moreover, if the poet’s choice to include such scenes in his dramas signifies something about the purpose of their composition. The study focuses on three tragedies, the most violent and sanguinary: Phaedra, Medea, Thyestes

description: In this paper a new smooth backfitting estimate is proposed for additive regression models. The estimate has the simple structure of Nadaraya--Watson smooth backfitting but at the same time achieves the oracle property of local linear smooth backfitting. Each component is estimated with the same asymptotic accuracy as if the other components were known.

description: We use complex network concepts to analyze statistical properties of urban public transport networks (PTN). To this end, we present a comprehensive survey of the statistical properties of PTNs based on the data of fourteen cities of so far unexplored network size. Especially helpful in our analysis are different network representations. Within a comprehensive approach we calculate PTN characteristics in all of these representations and perform a comparative analysis. The standard network characteristics obtained in this way often correspond to features that are of practical importance to a passenger using public traffic in a given city. Specific features are addressed that are unique to PTNs and networks with similar transport functions (such as networks of neurons, cables, pipes, vessels embedded in 2D or 3D space). Based on the empirical survey, we propose a model that albeit being simple enough is capable of reproducing many of the identified PTN properties. A central ingredient of this model is a growth dynamics in terms of routes represented by self-avoiding walks.

description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η παρουσίαση της εικόνας του «παλαιού» ανθρώπου μέσα από τις επιστολές του ίδιου του αποστόλου Παύλου, αποστόλου ολόκληρης της Οικουμένης, αλλά και μέσα από τα έργα του ιερού Χρυσοστόμου, ερμηνευτή του αποστόλου Παύλου, και εξέχουσας εκκλησιαστικής προσωπικότητας. Η εργασία διαρθρώνεται σε κεφάλαια και υποκεφάλαια όπου παρουσιάζονται στοιχεία από τα χωρία τόσο των επιστολών του αποστόλου Παύλου όσο και τον σχολιασμό τους από τον ιερό Χρυσόστομο. Στο πρώτο μέρος περιγράφεται η πτωτική κατάσταση του ανθρώπου καθώς και τα χαρακτηριστικά αυτής της κατάστασης. Όταν αναφέρεται ο «παλαιός» άνθρωπος και τα χαρακτηριστικά του, νοείται ο πεπτωκώς άνθρωπος, ο οποίος με την χρήση της ελεύθερης βούλησης απομακρύνθηκε από τον Δημιουργό του και έγινε δέσμιος του κόσμου του. Στην πορεία, επισημαίνεται σύμφωνα με τους πρώτους αιώνες αλλά μέχρι και τον τέταρτο αιώνα κατά πόσο είναι γνωστή η έννοια αυτή του «παλαιού» ανθρώπου με βάση τα έργα που οι ίδιοι εκκλησιαστικοί Πατέρες υπομνημάτισαν. Στο δεύτερο μέρος της εργασίας επιχειρείται να αναδειχθεί η λειτουργία και τα χαρακτηριστικά του «παλαιού» ανθρώπου σύμφωνα με τον άγιο Ιωάννη Χρυσόστομο. Ιδιαίτερη αναφορά γίνεται στην πτώση του ανθρώπου και την θνητότητα ως δέσμιος στην εξουσία της αμαρτίας έχει απομακρυνθεί από τον Θεό. Οι δυνατότητές του βέβαια είναι ένα ζήτημα το οποίο απασχόλησε λόγω της κληρονομικότητας των πρωτοπλάστων και είναι σημαντικό να εξετασθεί
description: The aim of this present thesis was to present the image of the "old" man through the epistles of Paul the Apostle himself, but also through the works of saint John Chrysostom, the performer of the apostle Paul and the prominent ecclesiastical personality. The work is structured in chapters and sub-headings, presenting information from the passages of both the letters of Paul the Apostle and their commentary from the holy Chrysostom. The first part describes the downturn of man as well as the characteristics of this situation. When referring to the "old" person and its characteristics, it is meant the fallen man, who, by using free will, was removed from his Creator and became a prisoner of his world. Along the way, it is pointed out in the first centuries, but up to the fourth century, whether this concept of "old" man is known on the basis of the works that the ecclesiastical Fathers have memorized. The second part of the work attempts to highlight the function and characteristics of the "old" man according to St. John Chrysostom. Particular reference is made to the fall of man and mortality as a prisoner in the power of sin has been removed from God. Of course, his potential is an issue that he has occupied because of the inheritance’s of the protoplasts and it is important to consider it
