description: Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας είναι η διερεύνηση του τρόπου με τον οποίο οι αναγνώστες ειδησεογραφικών ιστοσελίδων μιλούν για συλλογικές δράσεις διαμαρτυρίας ενάντια στη «Συμφωνία των Πρεσπών» -που υπογράφηκε ανάμεσα στην Ελλάδα και τη Βόρεια Μακεδονία το 2018- και συγκεκριμένα για το συλλαλητήριο που πραγματοποιήθηκε στην Αθήνα τον Φεβρουάριο του ίδιου έτους. Το προς ανάλυση υλικό αποτέλεσαν σχόλια που διατύπωσαν διαδικτυακά αναγνώστες τεσσάρων ειδησεογραφικών ιστοσελίδων. Τα σχόλια αναλύθηκαν με τη μέθοδο της θεματικής ανάλυσης, η οποία δομήθηκε γύρω από τρεις επιμέρους αναλυτικούς άξονες: τις αναπαραστάσεις του συλλαλητηρίου, τις αναπαραστάσεις της αντίδρασης της κυβέρνησης σε αυτό και τις αναπαραστάσεις των συμμετεχόντων. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν πως το συλλαλητήριο αναπαρίσταται τόσο ως επιτυχημένη (με όρους μαζικότητας) όσο και ως μάταιη κινητοποίηση. Η αντίδραση της κυβέρνησης αναπαρίσταται ως αντιδημοκρατική, εθνομηδενιστική και ιδεολογικά ακραία. Τέλος, αναφορικά με τους συμμετέχοντες, οι αναπαραστάσεις των σχολιαστών αφορούν την ύπαρξη ή μη ιδεολογικών κινήτρων και τις διαδικασίες κοινωνικής επιρροής που οδήγησαν στη συμμετοχή τους. Έτσι, αναπαρίστανται ως προσκείμενοι σε δεξιά ή ακροδεξιά/εθνικιστική ιδεολογία, ως κατευθυνόμενοι από εξωτερικές επιρροές, ως πατριώτες ή ως απλά εκκεντρικοί
description: The aim of this study is to investigate the way in which readers of news websites talk about the collective actions against the “Prespa Agreement” –an agreement which was signed in 2018 between Greece and the Republic of North Macedonia. Specifically, this study examines the representations of the demonstration that took place in Athens on February 2018. Online comments written by readers of four news websites constitute the research sample. Thematic analysis was based on three key analytical topics: the representations of the demonstration, the representations of government’s reaction and the representations of the participants. The results revealed that the demonstration is represented both as a successful (in terms of massive participation) mobilization and as a futile mobilization. Moreover, the government’s reaction is represented as undemocratic, anti-patriotic and ideologically extreme. Finally, the representations of participants are grounded on the existence (or not) of ideological motivations and on the social influence that led them to participate. Thus, participants are represented as adhering to right-wing or far-right/ nationalist ideology, as guided by external influences, as patriots or merely as eccentric

The obscured X-ray binaries V404 Cyg, Cyg X-3, V4641 Sgr, and GRS 1915+105

description: V404 Cyg, Cyg X-3, V4641 Sgr, and GRS 1915+105 are among the brightest X-ray binaries and display complex behavior in their multiwavelength emission. Apart from Cyg X-3, the other three sources have large accretion disks, and there is evidence of a high orbital inclination. Therefore, any large scale geometrical change in the accretion disk can cause local obscuration events. On the other hand, Cyg X-3 orbits its Wolf-Rayet companion star inside the heavy stellar wind obscuring the X-ray source. We study here whether the peculiar X-ray spectra observed from all four sources can be explained by local obscuration events. We fit the source spectra with two physically motivated models describing either a scenario where all the intrinsic emission is reprocessed in the surrounding matter or where the emitter is surrounded by a thick torus with variable opening angle. We show that the X-ray spectra during specific times are similar in all four sources likely arising from the high-density environments where they are embedded. The fitted models suggest that a low-luminosity phase preceding an intense flaring episode in the 2015 outburst of V404 Cyg is heavily obscured, but intrinsically very bright (super-Eddington) accretion state. Similar spectral evolution to that of V404 Cyg is observed from the recent, unusually low-luminosity state of GRS 1915+105. The modeling results point to a geometry change in the (outflowing) obscuring matter in V404 Cyg and GRS 1915+105, which is also linked to the radio (jet) evolution. All sources display obscured X-ray emission but with different intrinsic luminosities which points towards different factors causing the obscuration. This work highlights the importance of taking into account the reprocessing of the X-ray emission in the surrounding medium in the modeling of the X-ray spectra that may well take place in other sources as well.

description: We investigate the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation for D=3 space-time dimensions, corresponding to one transverse coordinate, and we show that it can be solved analytically. The explicit solutions are found in the linear approximation and for the paricular cases when they do not depend on the impact parameter of the dipole or on its rapidity. It is shown, that in a general case different solutions are related by an infinite parameter group of transformations. The key observation is that the equation has the Kowalewskaya-Painlevé property, which gives the possibility of reducing the non-linear problem to the solution of a linear integral equation.

description: We compute the Hall viscosity and conductivity of non-relativistic two-dimensional chiral superconductors, where fermions pair due to a short-range attractive potential, e.g. $p+\mathrm{i}p$ pairing, and interact via a long-range repulsive Coulomb force. For a logarithmic Coulomb potential, the Hall viscosity tensor contains a contribution that is singular at low momentum, which encodes corrections to pressure induced by an external shear strain. Due to this contribution, the Hall viscosity cannot be extracted from the Hall conductivity in spite of Galilean symmetry. For mixed-dimensional chiral superconductors, where the Coulomb potential decays as inverse distance, we find an intermediate behavior between intrinsic two-dimensional superconductors and superfluids. These results are obtained by means of both effective and microscopic field theory.

description: This dissertation on "Autonomous Wireless System for IOT Applications based on Raspberry Pi" refers to the remote control of a smart greenhouse through an application for Android devices or a website. In order this thesis to be completed, knowledge in both digital and analog electronics was required. The first chapter refers to the digital sector and analyzes some basic concepts of programming, the Python language, which was used mainly in the thesis’ programs, as well as the servers that were used. The second chapter describes the ground of analog circuits and describes the analog components needed to complete the research, including the circuits that required. After analyzing all the concepts used, the third chapter describes how the above two tiles were combined in order to conclude to the final result for the remote control of both the Raspberry pi and the greenhouse. In addition, the codes written for the application and the website are presented in some parts of the thesis as well as at the end. Due to the widespread use of applications nowadays, there are possibilitites for further improvements of the application and the website, which are presented at the end of this dissertation.

description: Motivated by the partial differential equations of mixed type that arise in the reduction of the Einstein equations by a helical Killing vector field, we consider a boundary value problem for the helically-reduced wave equation with an arbitrary source in 2+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime. The reduced equation is a second-order partial differential equation which is elliptic inside a disk and hyperbolic outside the disk. We show that the reduced equation can be cast into symmetric-positive form. Using results from the theory of symmetric-positive differential equations, we show that this form of the helically-reduced wave equation admits unique, strong solutions for a class of boundary conditions which include Sommerfeld conditions at the outer boundary.

description: We study the quantum propagator in the semiclassical limit with sharp confining potentials. Including the energy-dependent scattering phase due to sharp confining potential, the modified Van Vleck's formula is derived. We also discuss the close relations among quantum statistics, discrete gauge symmetry, and hard-wall constraints. Most of all, we formulate a new quantization rule that applies to {\it both} smooth and sharp boundary potentials. It provides an easy way to compute quantized energies in the semiclassical limit and is extremely useful for many physical systems.

description: We report a study of the de Haas-van Alphen (dHvA) effect on the itinerant metamagnet Sr$_3$Ru$_2$O$_7$. Extremely high sample purity allows the observation of dHvA oscillations both above and below the metamagnetic transition field of 7.9 T. The quasiparticle masses are fairly large away from the transition, and are enhanced by up to an extra factor of three as the transition is approached, but the Fermi surface topography change is quite small. The results are qualitatively consistent with a field-induced Stoner transition in which the mass enhancement is the result of critical fluctuations.

description: The restoration of spin connection clarifies the long known local Lorentz invariance problem in telelparallel gravities. It is considered now that any tetrad together with the associated spin connection can be equally utilized. Among the tetrads there is a particular one, namely proper tetrad, in which all the spurious inertial effects are removed and the spin connection vanishes. A specific tetrad was proposed in the literature for spherically symmetric cases, which has been used in regularizing the action, as well as in searching solutions in various scenarios. We show in this paper that the this tetrad is not the unique choice for the proper tetrad. We construct a new tetrad that can be considered as the proper one, and it will lead to different behaviors of the field equation and results in different solutions. With this proper tetrad, it is possible to find solutions to teleparallel gravities in the strong field regime, which may have physical applications. In the flat spacetime limit, the new tetrad coincides with the aforementioned one.

description: The NSF's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) is used to observe 122 magnetic cataclysmic variables (MCVs) during three observing semesters (13B, 15A, and 18A). We report radio detections of 33 stars with fluxes in the range 6--8031 uJy. Twenty-eight stars are new radio sources, increasing the number of radio detected MCVs to more that 40. A surprising result is that about three-quarters (24 of 33 stars) of the detections show highly circularly polarized radio emission of short duration, which is characteristic of electron cyclotron maser emission. We argue that this emission originates from the lower corona of the donor star, and not from a region between the two stars. Maser emission enables a more direct estimate of the mean coronal magnetic field of the donor star, which we estimate to be 1--4 kG assuming a magnetic filling factor of 50%. A two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test supports the conclusion that the distribution function of radio detected MCVs with orbital periods between 1.5-5 hours is similar to that of all MCVs. This result implies that rapidly-rotating (Pspin < 10 days), fully convective stars can sustain strong magnetic dynamos. These results support the model of Taam & Spruit (1989) that the change in angular momentum loss across the fully convective boundary at Porb = ~3 hours is due to a change in the magnetic field structure of the donor star from a low-order to high-order multipolar field.

description: Εισαγωγή: Ο καρκίνος του θυρεοειδούς διαγιγνώσκεται συνήθως τόσο με τεχνικές απεικόνισης όσο και με διαδερμική βιοψία. Ασθενείς και μέθοδοι: Εκατόν τριάντα ασθενείς συμπεριλήφθηκαν στη μελέτη μας με ευρήματα παθολογικής απεικόνισης στην περιοχή του θυρεοειδούς. Οι βιοψίες πραγματοποιήθηκαν με 22G με διαδερμικό ηχοβολέα κυρτό, EBUS 22G βελόνα και 19G βελόνα. Διερευνήσαμε την αποτελεσματικότητα και την ασφάλεια και των δύο τεχνικών και εντοπίσαμε τους καλύτερους υποψήφιους για κάθε μέθοδο. Συζήτηση: Υπήρχε μια ανωτερότητα της βελόνας 19G όσον αφορά τους τύπους καρκίνου του Λεμφώματος, καρκίνο του μυελού του θυρεοειδούς και του καρκίνου των κυττάρων Hurthle, το οποίο γνωρίζουμε από προηγούμενες μελέτες παθολογίας ότι χρειάζεται ένα μεγαλύτερο δείγμα για τη διάγνωση. Δεν υπήρχαν προβλήματα ασφάλειας και για τις δύο τεχνικές και η τεχνική EBUS παρήγαγε περισσότερο υλικό σε μπλοκ κυττάρων όταν η βελόνα 22G συγκρίθηκε με διαδερμική βιοψία σε περιτραχειακές βλάβες.
description: Introduction: Thyroid cancer is usually diagnosed both with imaging techniques and transdermal biopsy. Patients and Methods: one hundred and thirty patients were included in our study with pathological imaging findings in the thyroid region. Biopsies were performed with 22G with transdermal convex probe, EBUS 22G needle and 19G needle. We investigated the efficiency and safety of both techniques and identified the best candidates for each method. Discussion: There was a superiority of the 19G needle regarding the cancer types Lymphoma, Medullary thyroid cancer and Hurtle cell cancer, which we know from previous pathology studies that a larger sample is necessary for diagnosis. There were no safety issues for both techniques and the EBUS technique produced more cell block material when 22G needle was compared to transdermal biopsy in peritracheal lesions.

description: While finite-variable fragments of the propositional modal logic S5--complete with respect to reflexive, symmetric and transitive frames--are polynomial-time decidable, the restriction to finite-variable formulas for logics of reflexive and transitive frames yields fragments that remain "intractable." The role of the symmetry condition in this context has not been investigated. We show that symmetry either by itself or in combination with reflexivity produces logics that behave just like logics of reflexive and transitive frames, i.e. their finite-variable fragments remain intractable, namely PSPACE-hard. This raises the question of where exactly the borderline lies between modal logics whose finite-variable fragments are tractable and the rest.
The Integration of Mental Health into 21st-Century Broadway Musicals

description: Since 2000, the shows nominated for Best Musical at the Tony Awards have dealt with sexuality, drug abuse, death, mental health, identity, and many other serious topics. While most Broadway musicals are intended to entertain rather than educate viewers, a director cannot discount the fact that each show will reach a substantial number of individuals. Taking this opportunity to address serious subject matter allows for a non-confrontational method by which to inform audiences. The shows are not meant to be purely educational but rather a subtle mechanism to invoke change through intellectual theatre. The musicals that deal with complex social issues have the ability to create a discussion and initiate change. One such topic that has increasingly been incorporated into Broadway musicals in the last decade has been mental health. Although mentioned in several shows prior to the 21st century, the recent integration of this topic has been more direct and integral to the plot of musicals, including The Light in the Piazza and Next to Normal. The incorporation of mental illness into Broadway musicals of the 21st century could be a result of increased mental health awareness and the assurance of possible success owing to the achievement of musicals with controversial subject matter.
Religious Republicans and Diverse Democrats: Asymmetric Polarisation and the Politics of Abortion in the United States

description: Political polarisation has become a central feature of the U.S. political landscape. In recent years, much work has been done to plot trends in polarisation and to theorise why it is occurring. Several key explanations of polarisation can be identified in the scholarly literature, four of which will be referenced in this work: elite polarisation, partisan sorting, the power of identity and the role of the media. On their own these explanations do not provide a complete picture of polarisation in the American political landscape. Combined these explanations provide useful insight into how political polarisation emerged and has continued to manifest in the U.S. political landscape. These perspectives often ignore, however, evidence that the causes of polarisation are unevenly distributed between the two major parties. This phenomenon has been usefully described as asymmetric polarisation. This project endeavours to contribute to and extend existing research by analysing this generalised notion of asymmetric polarisation within the context of a particularly salient political issue – abortion. While existing explanations of political polarisation provide insight into the continued salience of the issue, it is the characterisations of the Republicans as “the vehicle of a conservative ideological movement” and Democrats as “a coalition of social groups” which provide the greatest insight into the asymmetric nature of U.S. polarisation today (Grossmann & Hopkins 2016, p. 14).

description: Velebitodesmus Antić and Reip, gen. n.
Type species: Velebitodesmus cavernicolus Antić and Reip, new species, by present designation.
Etymology: The new genus is named after Mt. Velebit, its type locality, and is masculine in gender.
Diagnosis: 19 segments (♂, ♀). Differs from other genera of European Trichopolydesmidae by the presence in the gonopod of a caudally curved acropodite supplied with a massive lamella, coupled with a U-shaped excavation between the lamella and a well-developed, basal, lanceolate process; a strongly chitinized lobe and a triangular process with two additional claw-shaped apophyses are present in the apical part of the acropodite.

description: In this paper we calculate, in the large N limit, the eigenvalue density of an infinite product of random unitary matrices, each of them generated by a random hermitian matrix. This is equivalent to solving unitary diffusion generated by a hamiltonian random in time. We find that the result is universal and depends only on the second moment of the generator of the stochastic evolution. We find indications of critical behavior (eigenvalue spacing scaling like $1/N^{3/4}$) close to $θ=π$ for a specific critical evolution time $t_c$.

description: We model production technology in a state-contingent framework assuming that the firms maximize ex ante their preference function subject to stochastic technology constraint; in other words, firms are assumed to act rationally. We show that rational producers who face the same stochastic technology can make significantly different production choices. Further, we develop an econometric methodology to estimate the risk-neutral probabilities, efficiency scores and the parameters of stochastic technology when there are two states of nature and only one of which is observed. Finally, we simulate noiseless data based on our state-contingent specification of technology. Our state-contingent estimator recovers technology parameters and other economic quantities of interest without any error. But, when we apply conventional efficiency estimators to the simulated data, we obtain biased estimates of technical efficiency.

description: Using 4-year panel data collected from surveying 640 farmers from leading maize producing provinces in China, this study analyses how maize farmers cope with anticipated risks from bad weather by strategically adjusting variety portfolios, with particular interest in farmers’ strategies in choosing and combining new and old varieties. While diversification was commonly demonstrated to be an effective means to reduce risk in most previous studies, our empirical results indicate that, in facing anticipated risks from bad weather, Chinese maize farmers tend to use fewer new varieties and allocate more land to old varieties. The lack of knowledge about weather tolerance of new varieties might be the major reason for this practice. As new varieties often have higher yield potential relative to old varieties due to technological progress, this finding suggests that Chinese maize farmers might be trading yield potential against risk reduction from bad weather. Furthermore, this study shows that maize farmers’ variety adoption is significantly related to farmers’ land conditions as well as their access to credit markets and technique extensions, suggesting that a well designed policy intervention could offset or partially offset the anticipation of adverse weather impacts on farmers’ variety choices and therefore on maize production.

description: This study uses a dynamic multi-regional Computable General Equilibrium model of the Australian economy to examine the impacts of developing irrigated agriculture in remote North West Queensland. A potential investment and operational scenario is implemented using three alternative forecast baselines. In the first run using a business-as-usual baseline, there is a welfare loss from irrigation development, even with an optimistic shift in farm productivity and factor endowments in North West Queensland. In the second run, baseline demand for Australia’s exports is assumed to grow at a faster rate and there is a small welfare gain. Simulating climate change impacts on crop yields, the forecast baseline of the third run includes a gradual reduction in farmland productivity in southern Australia. The simulations show the impacts of both supply and demand shifts on the welfare outcome, but on balance, clear welfare gains do not arise from the potential irrigation development.
