Native Speaker Response to Non-Native Accent: A Review of Recent Research
Creators: name: Reddington, Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2008

description: Research has generally shown that without early exposure, non-native speakers cannot achieve a native-like accent in a foreign language (Gass & Selinker, 2001, p. 336). Differences in pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation remain. Nevertheless, accent has been shown to affect how native speakers (NSs) evaluate non-native speakers (NNSs). This single speech characteristic has been openly cited as justification for much broader judgments about individuals. Lippi-Green (1997), for example, highlights several cases in the U.S. in which NNSs lost jobs due to their accents, such as that of an Indian woman (who had studied English for over 20 years) deemed unfit for a librarian’s position because of her “‘heavy accent’” and “‘speech patterns’” (p. 153). Matsuda (1991) reports on U.S. doctors who lost their malpractice insurance because the company felt accent would prevent them from successfully defending themselves in a lawsuit (p. 1346).

description: A thory of field-induced domain wall (DW) propagation is developed. The theory not only explains why a DW in a defect-free nanowire must propagate at a finite velocity, but also provides a proper definition of DW propagation velocity. This definition, valid for an arbitrary DW structure, allows one to compute the instantaneous DW velocity in a meaningful way even when the DW is not moving as a rigid body. A new velocity-field formula beyond the Walker breakdown field, which is in excellent agreement with both experiments and numerical simulations, is derived.
"The weight and shock of reality" : real suffering in the work of Richard Yates
Creators: name: Stevens, Noah Franklin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Throughout the 2010s and into the 2020s, there has been an increase in critical attention paid to Richard Yates, the New York-born author whose writing career stretched from the 1950s up to his death in 1992. There is still, however, a lack of scholarship dedicated to understanding Yates in his own right and the mechanisms driving the bleak and devastating emotional impacts of his writing. This thesis examines two of Yates’ novels, Revolutionary Road and The Easter Parade, for their depictions of what Yates, in a 1972 interview with Ploughshares, termed “real suffering” (qtd. Clark and Henry). This thesis argues that depictions of real suffering in Yates’ novels rely on the author’s method of foregrounding the characters, an approach central to George Levine’s description of realism and György Lukács’ theory of the novel. This thesis examines Yates in light of these discussions of genre, also bringing in the Aristotelian view of tragedy, to examine exactly how Yates achieves such moving depictions of realistic and novelistic suffering. In Yates’ work, the foregrounding of character entails a consistent acceptance and understanding on the part of the narrator of the ways characters conceive of their own lives, the interactions between developed characters with differing conceptions of themselves and each other, and the importance these conceptions and conflicting conceptions have for the development of the plot. Drawing on tools from cognitive linguistics, such as Narrative Spaces Theory and intersubjectivity, this thesis tracks how Yates creates incredibly heart-breaking depictions of an interior, mental suffering not from the intrusion of evil but from the everyday interactions of people trying to navigate life in a way that satisfies them. The emotional force of Yates’ writing therefore lies in the terrifyingly realistic and understandable tragedy that can arise from the everyday interactions of ordinary people.
Processing Instruction and Second Language Grammar Acquisition

Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2008

description: The significance of input, namely meaning-bearing linguistic instances of the target language (TL) (VanPatten, 1996), in accounting for how learners create second language (L2) grammars has long been established (Gass, 1997). Krashen (1985), in his Input Hypothesis, even argues that the sheer provision of abundant comprehensible input would be “necessary and sufficient” for second language acquisition (SLA). In light of such characteristics as “lack of success” and “the importance of instruction” in Bley-Vroman’s (1989) Fundamental Difference Hypothesis vis-à-vis adult L2 learners, however, it appears that manipulating aspects of learning conditions may facilitate L2 grammar acquisition. Some researchers (e.g., Sanz and Morgan-Short, 2005) suggest that external manipulation of input through textual (Jourdenais, Ota, Stauffer, Boyson, & Doughty, 1995) or prosodic (Leeman, 2003) enhancement, or even input flood (Trahey & White, 1993) might induce internal processing, considering that the target forms are made more salient and are thus more likely to be detected by the learner. Others, while acknowledging the difficulty of controlling and measuring L2 processing, still see value in theorizing about the learner’s internal language acquisition mechanism to make sense of the manner input processing (IP) works.

description: Star formation remains an unsolved problem in astrophysics. Numerical studies of large-scale structure simulations cannot resolve the whole process and their approach usually assumes that only gas denser than a typical threshold can host and form stars. We investigate the onset of cosmological star formation and compare several very-high-resolution, three-dimensional, N-body/SPH simulations that include non-equilibrium, atomic and molecular chemistry, star formation prescriptions, and feedback effects. We study how primordial star formation depends on gas density thresholds, cosmological parameters and initial set-ups. For mean-density initial conditions, we find that standard low-density star-formation threshold (0.2 h^2/cm3) models predict the onset of star formation at z~25-31, depending on the adopted cosmology. In these models stars are formed regardless of the time between the moment when the threshold is reached and the effective runaway collapse. At high redshift, this time interval represents a significant fraction of the Hubble time and thus this assumption can induce large artificial off-sets to the onset of star formation. Choosing higher density thresholds (135 h^2/cm3) allows the entire cooling process to be followed, and the onset of star formation is then estimated to be at redshift z~12-16. When isolated, rare, high-density peaks are considered, the chemical evolution is much faster and the first star formation episodes occur at z > 40, almost regardless of the choice for the density threshold. These results could have implications for the formation redshift of the first cosmological objects, as inferred from direct numerical simulations of mean-density environments, and on the studies of the reionization history of the universe.

Practice in a Second Language: Perspectives from Applied Linguistics and Cognitive Psychology
Creators: name: Silveira, Rosane
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2008

description: Practice in a Second Language: Perspectives from Applied Linguistics and Cognitive Psychology, edited by Robert DeKeyser, discusses the role of second language (L2) practice across two related research fields: applied linguistics and cognitive psychology. The notion of practice is controversial and raises debate, as DeKeyser acknowledges in the very first page of the introduction to this volume. The controversy stems from the fact that practice is wrongly equated with mechanical drills, these having been rejected by mainstream language teaching methodologies over the past 30 years. In order to minimize potential controversies, DeKeyser presents a focused definition of practice as “specific activities in the second language, engaged in systematically, deliberately, with the goal of developing knowledge of and skills in the second language” (p. 1). The book is intended to be a helpful resource for L2 practitioners and researchers interested in understanding the role of practice in L2 acquisition.

description: Chemically Peculiar (CP) stars have been subject of systematic research since more than 50 years. With the discovery of pulsation of some of the cool CP stars, the availability of advanced spectropolarimetric instrumentation and high signal- to-noise, high resolution spectroscopy, a new era of CP star research emerged about 20 years ago. Together with the success in ground-based observations, new space projects are developed that will greatly benefit for future investigations of these unique objects. In this contribution we will give an overview of some interesting results obtained recently from ground-based observations and discuss on future outstanding Gaia space mission and its impact on CP star research.

Improving Testing for English Language Learners
Creators: name: Schissel, Jamie L.
Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2008

description: Improving Testing for English Language Learners is a comprehensive book that provides relevant information on testing English language learners (ELLs) from kindergarten through twelfth grade in schools in the United States. The author, Rebecca J. Kopriva, blends her research background and experience with current issues surrounding the testing of ELLs. In selected chapters, she also collaborates with other leading researchers to provide more precise information on the topics covered. Specifically, this book examines test use by focusing on the interaction of the test-taker and content tests, rather than on language proficiency assessments. Kopriva currently works for the Wisconsin Center for Education Research at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, as a visiting researcher. She has also served as a testing director for various states as well as the U.S. Department of Education. This book, in fact, can be viewed as an extension of her previous research.

description: The quality factor and energy decay time of superconducting resonators have been measured as a function of material, geometry, and magnetic field. Once the dissipation of trapped magnetic vortices is minimized, we identify surface two-level states (TLS) as an important decay mechanism. A wide gap between the center conductor and the ground plane, as well as use of the superconductor Re instead of Al, are shown to decrease loss. We also demonstrate that classical measurements of resonator quality factor at low excitation power are consistent with single-photon decay time measured using qubit-resonator swap experiments.

Publisher: name: Studies in Applied Linguistics and TESOL
Year: 2008

description: In Communication Disorders in Spanish Speakers: Theoretical, Research, and Clinical Aspects, the editors, José Centeno, Raquel Anderson, and Lorain Obler, have assembled a multidisciplinary perspective on an emergent avenue in the field of linguistics, sociolinguistics, and language pathology: the study of the growing and ubiquitous population of Spanish speakers in the United States. This field is multidisciplinary in breadth yet inconsistent in the depth with which each vein has been examined. Therefore, in an effort to address these issues, the editors have brought together views from contrastive analyses, cross-linguistic investigations, and empirical studies of monolingual and bilingual Spanish-speaking children and adults in educational, professional, and clinical settings. The intended audience of this volume includes students and practitioners in the fields of linguistics, sociolinguistics, and speech-language pathology. Students, researchers, and clinicians working with Spanish speakers, whether monolingual or bilingual, language-impaired or not, are provided with chapters on a variety of topics from which they can glean practical and often illuminating information.

Her students’ work is a testament to the depth and breadth of her knowledge. A reoccurring theme in this festschrift was Professor Beebe’s role as advisor, mentor, and friend. She has achieved the sometimes difficult balance between pursuing her own work and supporting her students. As one student wrote, “Leslie has served as our intellectual mother.” We have all experienced Leslie’s passion for her work as well as her compassion for her students as human beings. In fact, she has served as a role model for all of us, reminding us that it is possible to insist on first-rate scholarship while also finding delight outside of academia.

Using stellar clusters to trace the properties of the Milky Way in the Gaia era
Creators: name: Cantat-Gaudin, Tristan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019
Subjects: Gaia, clusters, Milky Way

description: The Gaia DR2 astrometric data allows us to identify over a thousand clusters as compact groups of stars sharing a common motion and parallax, and to study their distribution across the Galactic disk. The data also allows us to discover new objects, and to show that some putative clusters are in fact asterisms. We clearly see that old clusters are distributed at higher Galactic altitudes, and seem to be virtually absent from the inner disk. Young clusters are known to be associated with the spiral pattern of the Milky Way, but we remark a conspicuous interruption of the Perseus spiral arm, which may be an observational bias but could also be a physical feature of a flocculent Milky Way.

In studies focusing on smaller scale structure we investigated the distribution of young stars in the direction of the Vela-Puppis constellations, in the region of the Vela OB2 association. We report that the young stars are organised in seven main groups with distinct kinematics and ages, each one exhibiting significant spatial substructure. One of those groups includes the known open clusters Collinder 135, Collinder 140, NGC 2451B, NGC2547, and UBC 7, showing they share a common origin. The complex and continuous distribution of these stars in 7D (3D positions, 3D velocities, and age) might be explained by an episode of star formation sustained by a mechanism such as supernova-driven turbulence.

Vocal opponents and silent supporters : how Saskatchewan politicians framed the carbon tax on Twitter
Creators: name: Schaan, Grace
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Carbon taxation has been widely advocated for by economists as a cost-effective tool to reduce GHG emissions. However, previous studies have found that implementing carbon taxes is politically challenging and often evokes misinformation. Political communication literature indicates that because social media, particularly Twitter (recently renamed X), allows politicians to speak directly with the public, it has been used to spread misinformation and selectively frame policy issues. The province of Saskatchewan provides an opportunity to explore the intersection of carbon tax politics and political communication via social media. There is strong opposition to the Liberal federal government’s carbon tax on households, imposed in 2019, among the general public in Saskatchewan and the governing right-of-centre Saskatchewan Party. In this study I analysed tweets from Saskatchewan politicians, elected at the federal and provincial level, to explore how they framed the federal carbon tax on Twitter. This study finds that, as expected, right-of-centre parties at both the federal and provincial level opposed the tax, employing framing familiar from carbon tax debates in other jurisdictions. Furthermore, only politicians from the federal Conservative Party and provincial Saskatchewan Party shared misinformation about the carbon tax, mainly through misleading and selective statements. The federal and Saskatchewan NDP were largely silent on the issue, and when they did tweet there was little overlap or coordination in how they framed the tax despite the federal and Saskatchewan NDP being a single party. Their silence was notable because, in the context of a subnational jurisdiction on which a federal carbon tax was imposed, and with almost no provincial representation from the federal party advancing the policy, there was next to no defence of the carbon tax on Twitter from Saskatchewan’s own elected politicians.
Diffuse cerebral microhemorrhages in a patient with adult-onset Pompe's disease: a case report
Creators: name: Zeenat Qureshi Stroke Institutes
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Background—Pompe's disease is a glycogen storage disease that manifests as progressive neuropathy, and myopathy. There are a few reports of vasculopathy in this disease, thought to be from small- and medium-vessel arteriopathy. We present a case of late-onset Pompe's disease with microhemorrhages and review of the pertinent literature. Methods—We describe a case of microhemorrhages in a patient with known late-onset Pompe's disease. Results—Our patient was noted to have numerous microhemorrhages concentrated in the posterior circulation distribution in what can best be described as central microhemorrhages, distinct from the pattern seen in amyloid angiopathy. Previous autopsy studies have found vacuoles in the vessel wall, resulting in small aneurysms as a part of the Pompe syndrome. Conclusions—There is an accumulating body of evidence that suggests cerebral vasculopathy as one of the primary manifestations of adult-onset Pompe's disease. This is manifested as dolichoectasia of basilar artery, aneurysms, and microhemorrhages that are central in distribution. The primary pathology is thought to be glycogen deposition in small- and medium-sized intracranial vessels. Controlling blood pressure aggressively and screening intracranial vascular imaging are recommended. Further definition of the syndrome is continuing from phenotypic and genotypic dimensions.

description: In a canonical model, the progenitors of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are accreting, nuclear-burning white dwarfs (NBWDs), which explode when the white dwarf reaches the Chandrasekhar mass, M_C. Such massive NBWDs are hot (kT ~100 eV), luminous (L ~ 10^{38} erg/s), and are potentially observable as luminous supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs). During the past several years, surveys for soft X-ray sources in external galaxies have been conducted. This paper shows that the results falsify the hypothesis that a large fraction of progenitors are NBWDs which are presently observable as SSSs. The data also place limits on sub-M_C models. While Type Ia supernova progenitors may pass through one or more phases of SSS activity, these phases are far shorter than the time needed to accrete most of the matter that brings them close to M_C.

description: Objectives: Stability issues are inevitable problems that are encountered in nanosuspension (NS) technology developments and in the industrial application of pharmaceuticals. This study aims to assess the stability of wet-milled cepharanthine NSs and elucidate the stabilization mechanisms of different stabilizers. Methods: The aggregation state was examined via scanning electron microscopy, laser diffraction, and rheometry. The zeta potential, stabilizer adsorption, surface tension, and drug-stabilizer interactions were employed to elucidate the stabilization mechanisms. Results: The results suggest that croscarmellose sodium (CCS), D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS), or polyvinyl pyrrolidone VA64 (PVP VA64) alone was able to prevent nanoparticle aggregation for at least 30 days. Attempts to evaluate the stability mechanisms of different stabilization systems revealed that CCS improved the steric-kinetic stabilization of the NSs, attributed to its high viscosity, swelling capacity, and physical barrier effects. In contrast, the excellent physical stability of TPGS systems was mainly due to the reduced surface tension and higher crystallinity. PVP VA64 can adsorb onto the surfaces of nanoparticles and stabilize the NS via steric forces. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the complex effects of CCS, TPGS, and PVP VA64 on cepharanthine NS stability and presented an approach for the rational design of stable NSs.

description: Given a potential of pair interaction and a value of activity, one can consider the Gibbs distribution in a finite domain $Λ\subset \mathbb{Z}^d$. It is well known that for small values of activity there exist the infinite volume ($Λ\to \mathbb{Z}^d$) limiting Gibbs distribution and the infinite volume correlation functions. In this paper we consider the converse problem - we show that given $ρ_1$ and $ρ_2(x)$, where $ρ_1$ is a constant and $ρ_2(x)$ is a function on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, which are sufficiently small, there exist a pair potential and a value of activity, for which $ρ_1$ is the density and $ρ_2(x)$ is the pair correlation function.

description: На основе новых представлений о гравитации объясняются многие загадочные явления в пирамидах и полостных структурах. Показано, что все наблюдаемые «артефакты», типа изменения хода часов и операций филиппинских врачевателей-хилеров, обусловлены уменьшением силы тяжести (гравитационного поля) в полостных структурах и пирамидах. Рассматривается особенность конструкции полостной структуры, приводящей к пассивной антигравитации изменению направления вектора силы тяжести на противоположное. Предлагается принцип конструирования активных антигравитационных устройств и области их применения.

description: The level lifetimes have been measured for a Shears band of $^{108}$Cd which exhibits bandcrossing. The observed level energies and B(M1) rates have been successfully described by a semi-classical geometric model based on shear mechanism. In this geometric model, the bandcrossing in Shears band has been described as the reopening of the angle between the blades of a shear.

description: The email read, “…as you all know, Leslie is planning to retire at the end of the academic year.” My eyes stopped at the end of that sentence. Retire? I didn’t know she was planning to retire. I immediately began to worry. How could Leslie retire? What about conference presentations, data collection, Sociolinguistics class? Then I thought about it for another minute and started to smile. “Yeah,” I sighed, “I guess I can imagine it.” Leslie peering through binoculars at birds, hiking with Bruce in national parks, and delving into Native American arts. Good-bye staff meetings, deadlines, paperwork, committees, and email. In my mind’s eye, however, I see the door to Room 317 slam shut, and in the darkness, I start to reminisce about the many years I spent in that office as a student, assistant, and in the end, a friend.

description: Στόχος της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν η εξέταση των ΑΞΕ από την Ελλάδα ως χώρα προέλευσης προς άλλες χώρες υποδοχής. Για το σκοπό αυτό, εξετάστηκε μία συγκεκριμένη μελέτη περίπτωση, αυτή της βιομηχανίας τροφίμων, Chipita, και μίας συγκεκριμένης ΑΞΕ της προς μία τρίτη χώρα και πιο συγκεκριμένα στη Βουλγαρία και τη βουλγαρική εταιρεία Chipita Bulgaria AD. Ειδικότερα μέσα από την εξέταση της συγκεκριμένης μελέτης περίπτωσης, στόχος ήταν να γίνουν κατανοητοί οι λόγοι για τους οποίους μία ελληνική εταιρεία πραγματοποιεί ΑΞΕ. Η μεθοδολογία, που υιοθετήθηκε για την ολοκλήρωσης της παρούσας έρευνας, ήταν αυτή της βιβλιογραφικής επισκόπησης δευτερογενών πηγών κυρίως ποιοτικών, αλλά και ποσοτικών δεδομένων αναφορικά με το παραπάνω ζήτημα. Όπως μπορεί να συναχθεί από την μελέτη των δευτερογενών δεδομένων, η επένδυση του ομίλου Chipita στη Βουλγαρία, την περίοδο κατά την οποία πραγματοποιήθηκε (δεκαετία του 1990/ έτος 1995), λειτούργησε με κίνητρα όμοια με αυτά άλλων Ελληνικών εταιρειών διαφορετικών κλάδων, συμπεριλαμβανομένου του κλάδου των τροφίμων, στον οποίο ανήκει και ο όμιλος Chipita. Ειδικότερα τα κίνητρα αυτά σχετίζονταν με τη γεωγραφική και πολιτιστική εγγύτητα, το μέγεθος της αγοράς, το χαμηλό κόστος εργασίας, την έλλειψη ξένου και τοπικού ανταγωνισμού και τη χρήση της Βουλγαρίας ως συνδέσμου με τις γειτονικές χώρες. Η Βουλγαρία χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως γέφυρα για περαιτέρω επενδύσεις σε γειτονικές χώρες. Μάλιστα, από τα πλέον σημαντικά κίνητρα ήταν το χαμηλό κόστος ανειδίκευτης εργασίας.
Strong-coupling limit in cold-molecule formation via photoassociation or Feshbach resonance through Nikitin exponential resonance crossing

description: The strong-coupling limit of molecule formation in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate via two-mode one-color photoassociation or sweep across a Feshbach resonance is examined using a basic nonlinear time-dependent two-state model. For the general class of term-crossing models with constant coupling, a common strategy for attacking the problem is developed based on the reduction of the initial system of semiclassical equations for atom-molecule amplitudes to a third order nonlinear differential equation for the molecular state probability. This equation provides deriving exact solution for a class of periodic level-crossing models. These models reveal much in common with the Rabi problem. Discussing the strong-coupling limit for the general case of variable detuning, the equation is further truncated to a limit first-order nonlinear equation. Using this equation, the strong nonlinearity regime for the first Nikitin exponential-crossing model is analyzed and accurate asymptotic expressions for the nonlinear transition probability to the molecular state are derived. It is shown that, because of a finite final detuning involved, this model displays essential deviations from the Landau-Zener behavior. In particular, it is shown that in the limit of strong coupling the final conversion probability tends to 1/6. Thus, in this case the strong interaction limit is not optimal for molecule formation. We have found that if optimal field intensity is applied the molecular probability is increased up to 1/4 (i.e., the half of the initial atomic population).

description: This volume contains the proceedings of the 2nd Workshop on Interaction and Concurrency Experience (ICE'09). The workshop was held in Bologna, Italy on 31th of August 2009, as a satellite workshop of CONCUR'09. The previous edition of ICE has been organized in Reykjavik (2008). The ICE workshop is intended as a series of international scientific meetings oriented to researchers in various fields of theoretical computer science and, each year, the workshop focuses on a specific topic: ICE 2009 focused on structured interactions meant as the class of synchronisations that go beyond the "simple" point-to-point synchronisations (e.g., multicast or broadcast synchronisations, even-notification based interactions, time dependent interactions, distributed transactions,...).

description: Objectives: Stability issues are inevitable problems that are encountered in nanosuspension technology developments and in the industrial application of pharmaceuticals. This study aims to assess the stability of wet-milled cepharanthine nanosuspensions and elucidate the stabilization mechanisms of different stabilizers. Methods: The aggregation state was examined via scanning electron microscopy, laser diffraction and rheometry. The zeta potential, stabilizer adsorption, surface tension and drug-stabilizer interactions were employed to elucidate the stabilization mechanisms. Results: The results suggest that croscarmellose sodium (CCS), D-α-tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS), or polyvinyl pyrrolidone VA64 (PVP VA64) alone was able to prevent nanoparticle aggregation for at least 30 d. Attempts to evaluate the stability mechanisms of different stabilization systems revealed that CCS improved the steric-kinetic stabilization of the nanosuspensions, attributed to its high viscosity, swelling capacity and physical barrier effects. In contrast, the excellent physical stability of TPGS systems was mainly due to the reduced surface tension and higher crystallinity. PVP VA64 can adsorb onto the surfaces of nanoparticles and stabilize the nanosuspension via steric forces. Conclusion: This study demonstrated the complex effects of CCS, TPGS, and PVP VA64 on cepharanthine nanosuspension stability and presented an approach for the rational design of stable nanosuspensions.

From Leslie to Me

description: I would never have become this interested in language if it had not been for Leslie. Perhaps this all goes back to the idea of notebook data. In the mid-1990s, Leslie wrote a paper entitled Notebook data on power and the power of notebook data (Beebe, 1994), based on her experience as a juror on a high-profile case involving Donald Trump’s ex-wife. She turned her jury duty into a research project! Yes, Leslie Beebe is a different kind of a linguist—certainly not one trapped in an ivory tower. She taught me to see language as it is, not what it should be. “Leslie’s Notebook” still follows me around as I record language as lived by real people in real life, and I bring these notes into the classroom. I learned that an example, like a picture, is worth a thousand words, and a real example is worth a million. I’m a little more tuned-in, a little more relevant, and a little more interesting as a teacher because of Leslie.

description: The local coupling of two photons to the fundamental quark currents of a hadron gives an energy-independent contribution to the Compton amplitude proportional to the charge squared of the struck quark, a contribution which has no analog in hadron scattering reactions. We show that this local contribution has a real phase and is universal, giving the same contribution for real or virtual Compton scattering for any photon virtuality and skewness at fixed momentum transfer squared t. The t-dependence of this J=0 fixed Regge pole is parameterized by a yet unmeasured even charge-conjugation form factor of the target nucleon. The t=0 limit gives an important constraint on the dependence of the nucleon mass on the quark mass through the Weisberger relation. We discuss how this 1/x form factor can be extracted from high energy deeply virtual Compton scattering and examine predictions given by models of the H generalized parton distribution.

description: Στην Ελλάδα, όπως και σε παγκόσμια κλίμακα, με την έλευση της πανδημίας Covid19 που προκάλεσε κύματα καραντίνας και της αλληλουχίας αρνητικών επιπτώσεων που ακολούθησαν, γνωρίσαμε αρκετούς καινούριους όρους όσον αφορά στην εργασία. Ένας από αυτούς είναι και ο όρος τηλεργασία, η οποία μπήκε για τα καλά στην καθημερινότητα μας καθώς εν μέσω πανδημίας αποτέλεσε την νέα τάση στην αγορά εργασίας και «θέσπισε» τους νέους κανόνες στον εργασιακό βίο. Με την παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία παρουσιάζεται εις βάθος η έννοια της τηλεργασίας μέσα από μια εκτενή ιστορική αναδρομή, αναλύονται οι κατηγορίες της και ιδιαίτερο βάρος δίνεται στην εξελιγμένη μορφή της τηλεργασίας, το Smart Working, όπως επίσης και oι επιπτώσεις που έχει σε εργαζόμενους και σε εργοδότες. Ακόμα θα γίνει αναφορά στο προφίλ των τηλεργαζομένων (Smart Workers) που εφαρμόζουν την απομακρυσμένη εργασία και συγκεκριμένα το Smart Working, τα μέσα που χρησιμοποιούν αλλά και από ποια μέρη πραγματοποιείται πέραν του φυσικού, συνηθισμένου περιβάλλοντος εργασίας. Συνεχίζοντας, θα γίνει αναφορά στο νομοθετικό πλαίσιο της τηλεργασίας σε Ευρώπη και Ελλάδα, που αυτό υστερεί και το νέο νομοθετικό πλαίσιο που προβλέπεται για την υποστήριξη των τηλεργαζομένων. Επιπλέον, θα αφιερωθεί ένα μεγάλο κομμάτι στην εξελιγμένη μορφή του ηγέτη που καλείται να διευθύνει ένα απομακρυσμένο εργατικό δυναμικό και εξελίσσεται σε τηλεηγέτη. Επίσης, θα αναδειχθούν οι προκλήσεις που πρέπει να ξεπεράσει ο τηλε-ηγέτης και τα βήματα προς την επίτευξη μιας επιτυχημένης τηλε-ηγεσίας. Τέλος, η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία ολοκληρώνεται με τον Ψηφιακό Μετασχηματισμό, μια διαδικασία απαραίτητη για το μέλλον των επιχειρήσεων, πλήρως συνυφασμένη με την έννοια της τηλεργασίας, όπου συνοδοιπόρος σε αυτήν τη διαδικασία θα είναι ο ψηφιακός ηγέτης, το κλειδί για έναν πραγματικό μετασχηματισμό. Τα συμπεράσματα οδηγούν στην πεποίθηση ότι η τηλεργασία ήρθε για να μείνει και ότι η μετά Covid-19 εποχή θα έχει αλλάξει ριζικά τη ζωή των εργαζομένων και τη σύσταση των επιχειρήσεων.

description: We study a holographic model realizing an "antiferromagnetic" phase in which a global SU(2) symmetry representing spin is broken down to a U(1) by the presence of a finite electric charge density. This involves the condensation of a neutral scalar field in a charged AdS black hole. We observe that the phase transition for both neutral and charged (as in the standard holographic superconductor) order parameters can be driven to zero temperature by a tuning of the UV conformal dimension of the order parameter, resulting in a quantum phase transition of the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless type. We also characterize the antiferromagnetic phase and an externally forced ferromagnetic phase by showing that they contain the expected spin waves with linear and quadratic dispersions respectively.
