Στην εργασία διερευνάται και αντιμετωπίζονται ταυτόχρονα όλοι οι παράγοντες κοινωνικού αποκλεισμού των Ρομά(κοινωνικοί, οικονομικοί, πολιτικοί), που έχουν άμεσες επιπτώσεις στην συμμετοχή και τον αποκλεισμό τους από την εκπαίδευση. Επιπλέον διερευνώνται και όλοι οι μηχανισμοί του εκπαιδευτικού θεσμού που παρεμποδίζουν τη σχολική επιτυχία αυτών των παιδιών και οδηγούν σε αντίστοιχες καταστάσεις καθώς και σε σχολική διαρροή. Η εκπαιδευτική παρέμβαση οργανώθηκε με βάση τις αρχές της θεωρίας της Απελευθερωτικής Παιδαγωγικής και της κριτικής συνειδητοποίησης, όπως αυτές αναπτύχθηκαν από τον P. Freire. Παράλληλα αξιοποιήθηκαν οι μεθοδολογικές αρχές της έρευνας δεδομένων, όπως αυτά επιβάλλονται από τις παραπάνω μεθοδολογικές αρχές, οργανώθηκαν από κοινού με τους γονείς Ρομά του καταυλισμού της Χαλάστρας Θεσσαλονίκης ειδικές παρεμβάσεις σε θεσμούς όπως Πρόνοια, Διεύθυνση Υγείας, Νομαρχία, Δήμο, Νοσοκομεία, Κέντρο Υγείας κλπ. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο επιβεβαιώθηκε η υπόθεση εργασία σύμφωνα με την οποία ο αλφαβητισμός παιδιών Ρομά είναι δυνατός, όταν στηρίζεται στη διδασκαλία των ανθρωπίνων διακαιωμάτων και υποστηρίζεται από παράλληλες δράσεις άρσης του κοινωνικού αποκλεισμού τους
description: The main objective of this dissertation is to examine the organization, the procedure and the evaluation of an educational interrention with illiterate Roma children using the human rights as educational material. The deciding factors (societal, economical, political), which contibute to Roma's social exclusion and have an adverse effect on their participation in education are examined and thoroughly analyzed. The inner mechanisms of education as an institution, which hinders the progress of these children and causes them to drop out of school are also examined. The educational intervention is based upon the theory and the principles of P. Freire's libertarian pedagogy and critical consciounsess. The research and the educational interrention are also based on the methodological principles of action research and participatory observation. Applying these methods we organized together with Roma parents of the Halastra Thessaloniki encampment several courses of action to state institutions such as the Social Care Bureau, the Hygiene Bureau, the Mayor's Office, etc. This way, the initial hypothesis of the dissertation that Roma children can be educated by teaching than the human rights, when this procedure is supported by social actions that help them overcome their social exclusion, was finally affirmed

description: Dark energy is the constituent with an enormous abundance of the present universe, responsible for the universe's accelerated expansion. Therefore, it is plausible that dark energy may interact within any compact astrophysical objects. The author in Ref. [Phys. Rev. D 83, 127501 (2011)], constructs an exact star solution consisting of an ordinary matter and phantom field from a constant density star (CDS) known as Schwarzschild interior solution. The star denotes a dark energy star (DES). The author claims that the phantom field represents dark energy within the star. So far, the role of the phantom field as dark energy in DES is not systematically studied yet. Related to this issue, we analyze the energy condition of DES. We expect that DES shall violate the strong energy condition (SEC) for a particular condition. We discover that SEC is fully violated only when the compactness reaches the Buchdahl limit. Furthermore, we also investigate the causal conditions and stabilities due to the convective motion and gravitational cracking. We also find that those conditions are violated. These results indicate that DES is not physically stable. However, we may consider DES as an ultra-compact object of which we can calculate the gravitational wave echo time and echo frequency and compare them to those of CDS. We find that the contribution of the phantom field delays the gravitational wave echoes. The effective potential of the perturbed DES is also studied. The potential also enjoys a potential well like CDS but with a deeper well. We also investigate the possibility that DES could form a gravastar when $ C=1 $. It is found that gravastar produced from DES possesses no singularity with a dS-like phase as the interior. These results could open more opportunities for the observational study of dark energy in the near future, mostly from the compact astrophysical objects.

description: Background: Access to medical care in many regions is limited by socioeconomic status, at both the individual and the community level. This report describes the diagnostic process of a family residing on an underserved Caribbean island where routine neurological care is typically addressed by general practitioners, and genetic diagnosis is not available through regular medical channels. The diagnosis and management of neurodegenerative disorders is especially challenging in this setting. Case Report: We diagnosed a family with spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) in an underdeveloped nation with limited access to genetic medicine and no full-time neurologist. Discussion: Molecular diagnosis of the SCAs can be challenging, even in developed countries. In the Caribbean, genetic testing is generally only available at a small number of academic centers. Diagnosis in this family was ultimately made by utilizing an international, pro bono, research-based collaborative process. Although access to appropriate resources, such as speech, physical, and occupational therapies, is limited on this island because of economic and geographical factors, the provision of a diagnosis appeared to be ultimately beneficial for this family. Identification of affected families highlights the need for access to genetic diagnosis in all communities, and can help direct resources where needed.

description: Background: Metabolic imaging has revealed excessive cerebellar activity in essential tremor patients. Golgi cells control cerebellar activity by releasing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) onto synaptic and extrasynaptic receptors on cerebellar granule cells. We postulated that the extrasynaptic GABAA receptor-specific agonist THIP (gaboxadol; 4,5,6,7-tetrahydroisoxazolo[5,4-c]pyridin-3-ol) would suppress tremor in the harmaline model of essential tremor and, since cerebellar extrasynaptic receptors contain α6 and δsubunits, would fail to do so in mice lacking either subunit. Methods: Digitally measured motion power, expressed as 10–16 Hz power (the tremor bandwidth) divided by background 8–32 Hz motion power, was accessed during pre-harmaline baseline, pre-THIP harmaline exposure, and after THIP administration (0, 2, or 3 mg/kg). These low doses were chosen as they did not impair performance on the straight wire test, a sensitive test for psychomotor impairment. Littermate δ wild-type and knockout (Gabrd+/+, Gabrd–/–) and littermate α6 wild-type and knockout (Gabra6+/+, Gabra6–/–) mice were tested. Results: Gabrd+/+ mice displayed tremor reduction at 3 mg/kg THIP but not 2 mg/kg, and Gabra6+/+ mice showed tremor reduction at 2 and 3 mg/kg. Their respective subunit knockout littermates displayed no tremor reduction compared with vehicle controls at either dose. Discussion: The loss of anti-tremor efficacy with deletion of either δ or α6 GABAA receptor subunits indicates that extrasynaptic receptors containing both subunits, most likely located on cerebellar granule cells where they are highly expressed, mediate tremor suppression by THIP. A medication designed to activate only these receptors may display a favorable profile for treating essential tremor.

description: We review the cross sections for low-energy $π^- γ$ reactions in the framework of chiral perturbation theory. Charged pion Compton scattering, $π^- γ\to π^-γ$, is considered up to one-loop order where the pion's internal structure enters through the difference of the electric and magnetic pion polarizability, $α_π- β_π$. The ongoing COMPASS experiment aims at measuring this important structure constant with high statistics using the Primakoff effect. In the same way, the reaction $π^- γ\to π^- π^0$ serves as a test of the QCD chiral anomaly (via the $γ3π$-coupling constant $F_{\gamma3π}$). Furthermore, we calculate the total cross sections for neutral and charged pion-pair production, $π^- γ\to π^- π^0π^0$ and $π^- γ\to π^-π^+π^-$, which are governed by the chiral $ππ$-interaction. Finally, we investigate the radiative (correction) process $π^- γ\to π^- γγ$ and calculate the corresponding two-photon mass spectrum. This information will be useful for analyzing the $π^-$ Primakoff scattering events with photons in the final state.

description: Very young asteroid families may record processes that accompanied their formation in the most pristine way. This makes analysis of this special class particularly interesting. We studied the very young Adelaide family in the inner part of the main belt. This cluster is extremely close to the previously known Datura family in the space of proper orbital elements and their ages overlap. As a result, we investigated the possibility of a causal relationship between the two families. We identified Adelaide family members in the up-to-date catalogue of asteroids. By computing their proper orbital elements we inferred the family structure. Backward orbital integration of selected members allowed us to determine the age of the family. The largest fragment (525) Adelaide, an S-type asteroid about $10$ km in size, is accompanied by 50 sub-kilometre fragments. This family is a typical example of a cratering event. The very tiny extent in the semi-major axis minimises chances that some significant mean motion resonances influence the dynamics of its members, though we recognise that part of the Adelaide family is affected by weak, three-body resonances. Weak chaos is also produced by distant encounters with Mars. Simultaneous convergence of longitude of node for the orbits of six selected members to that of (525) Adelaide constrains the Adelaide family age to $536\pm 12$ kyr (formal solution). While suspiciously overlapping with the age of the Datura family, we find it unlikely that the formation events of the two families are causally linked. In all likelihood, the similarity of their ages is just a coincidence.

description: Background: Holmes tremor is a rare symptomatic movement disorder, characterized by a combination of resting, postural, and intention tremor. It is usually caused by lesions in the brainstem, thalamus, and cerebellum. Despite pharmacological advances, its treatment remains a challenge; many medications have been used with various degrees of effectiveness. Stereotactic thalamotomy and deep brain stimulation in the ventralis intermedius nucleus have been effective surgical procedures in cases refractory to medical treatment. Case Report: Here we report a young woman with topiramate-responsive Holmes tremor secondary to a brainstem cavernoma. Discussion: Herein we report a Holmes tremor responsive to Topiramate.

description: We consider the effects of network topology on the optimality of packet routing quantified by $γ_c$, the rate of packet insertion beyond which congestion and queue growth occurs. The key result of this paper is to show that for any network, there exists an absolute upper bound, expressed in terms of vertex separators, for the scaling of $γ_c$ with network size $N$, irrespective of the routing algorithm used. We then derive an estimate to this upper bound for scale-free networks, and introduce a novel static routing protocol which is superior to shortest path routing under intense packet insertion rates.

description: Gotthard-II is a charge-integrating microstrip detector developed for experiments and diagnostics at free-electron lasers using hard X-rays of 5 keV - 20 keV. Thanks to its excellent single photon sensitivity, large dynamic range as well as high frame rate of 4.5 MHz in burst mode, its potential scientific applications include X-ray absorption/emission spectroscopy, hard X-ray high resolution single-shot spectrometry (HiREX), beam diagnostics, as well as veto signal generation for pixel detectors. The Gotthard-II ASIC has been designed and fabricated using UMC-110 nm technology. The final ASIC design and performance in terms of noise, linearity, dynamic range, coupling between channels and speed will be discussed in the paper. In addition, a first measurement of an X-ray absorption spectrum of a standard copper sample has been done. The performance of the Gotthard-II in an experiment using energy dispersive X-rays has been demonstrated.

description: Clinical Vignette: A 64-year-old female with essential tremor (ET) presents for evaluation of deep brain stimulation (DBS) candidacy. Examination revealed subtle dystonic features as well as a disabling postural-action tremor. Clinical Dilemma: Can dystonia occur in the setting of the diagnosis of ET and can its presence alter DBS target selection? Clinical Solution: Unilateral DBS implantation of the ventralis intermedius (Vim) led to improvement in both tremor and dystonic posturing. Gap in Knowledge: Case reports of DBS in dystonic tremor suggest Vim, globus pallidus internus (GPi), and subthalamic targets may all be effective, to varying degrees, in improving both tremor and dystonia. More rigorous studies are needed to identify the optimal target(s). Expert Commentary: This case underscores the limited evidence available to guide a clinician’s choice of DBS targets in patients with ET and dystonia. The severity of the dystonia and the presence of more generalized dystonia may alter the thinking about optimal targeting. Vim, GPi, and subthalamic targets appear potentially acceptable options, though Vim is usually the first target attempted when postural-action tremor is the chief complaint. Occasionally, a second rescue DBS lead may be necessary.

description: Background: Hemifacial spasms are involuntary contractions of the muscles of one side of the face. Case Report: Here, we report a 5-year-old female patient with a significant past medical history, including mucopolysaccharidosis type VI, who also presented with hemifacial spasms. Further investigations showed narrowing of skull foramina and hydrocephalus, but no compression of the facial nerve. Carbamazepine was given to the patient, which caused cessation of the spasms. Discussion: Currently, there is no literature discussing the relationship between hemifacial spasms and mucopolysaccharidosis type VI; we have proposed that mucopolysaccharide deposits or dural thickening may contribute to nerve irritation.

description: We investigate the possibility of inducing superconductivity in a graphite layer by electronic correlation effects. We use a phenomenological microscopic Hamiltonian which includes nearest neighbor hopping and an interaction term which explicitly favors nearest neighbor spin-singlets through the well-known resonance valence bond (RVB) character of planar organic molecules. Treating this Hamiltonian in mean-field theory, allowing for bond-dependent variation of the RVB order parameter, we show that both s- and d-wave superconducting states are possible. The d-wave solution belongs to a two-dimensional representation and breaks time reversal symmetry. At zero doping there exists a quantum critical point at the dimensionless coupling J/t = 1.91 and the s- and d-wave solutions are degenerate for low temperatures. At finite doping the d-wave solution has a significantly higher Tc than the s-wave solution. By using density functional theory we show that the doping induced from sulfur absorption on a graphite layer is enough to cause an electronically driven d-wave superconductivity at graphite-sulfur interfaces. We also discuss applying our results to the case of the intercalated graphites as well as the validity of a mean-field approach.

description: We report direct electrical detection of spin pumping, using a lateral normal metal/ferromagnet/normal metal device, where a single ferromagnet in ferromagnetic resonance pumps spin polarized electrons into the normal metal, resulting in spin accumulation. The resulting backflow of spin current into the ferromagnet generates a d.c. voltage due to the spin dependent conductivities of the ferromagnet. By comparing different contact materials (Al and /or Pt), we find, in agreement with theory, that the spin related properties of the normal metal dictate the magnitude of the d.c. voltage.

description: We review numerical methods for simulations of cosmic ray (CR) propagation on galactic and larger scales. We present the development of algorithms designed for phenomenological and self-consistent models of CR propagation in kinetic description based on numerical solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation. The phenomenological models assume a stationary structure of the galactic interstellar medium and incorporate diffusion of particles in physical and momentum space together with advection, spallation, production of secondaries and various radiation mechanisms. The self-consistent propagation models of CRs include the dynamical coupling of the CR population to the thermal plasma. The CR transport equation is discretized and solved numerically together with the set of magneto-hydrodynamic (MHD) equations in various approaches treating the CR population as a separate relativistic fluid within the two-fluid approach or as a spectrally resolved population of particles evolving in physical and momentum space. The relevant processes incorporated in self-consistent models include advection, diffusion and streaming well as adiabatic compression and several radiative loss mechanisms. We discuss applications of the numerical models for the interpretation of CR data collected by various instruments. We present example models of astrophysical processes influencing galactic evolution such as galactic winds, the amplification of large-scale magnetic fields and instabilities of the interstellar medium.

description: A sequential fourth generation of quarks and leptons is allowed by precision electroweak constraints if the mass splitting between the heavy quarks is between 50 and 80 GeV. Although heavy quarks can be easily detected at the LHC, it is very difficult to detect a sequential heavy charged lepton, L, due to large backgrounds. Should the L mass be above 250 GeV, it can not be pair-produced at a 500 GeV ILC. We calculate the cross section for the one-loop process e+e- -> L tau. Although the cross section is small, it may be detectable. We also consider contributions from the two Higgs doublet model and the Randall-Sundrum model, in which case the cross section can be substantially higher.

Για το λόγο αυτό μελετήθηκαν με την ηλεκτροαναλυτική μέθοδο της κυκλικής βολταμμετρίας το φωτοευαίσθητο στην υπεριώδη ακτινοβολία νιτροπρωσσικό νάτριο και ορισμένα φωτοχρωμικά σπιροπυράνια με διάφορους υποκαταστάτες στο βενζοπυρανικό τους δακτύλιο. Για την λήψη των Κ. βολταμμογραφημάτων χρησιμοποιήθηκαν ηλεκτρόδια ινών άνθρακα από πολυακριλονιτρέλιο. Το ν. νάτριο μελετήθηκε σε υδατικά ρυθμιστικά διαλύματα(ρΗ 1-12) και τα σπιροπυράνια σε διαλύματα ακετονοτριλίου και διμεθυλοφορμαμιδίου με την πρόταση μηχανισμού της ηλεκτροχημικής τους συμπεριφοράς. Στη συνέχεια πραγματοποιήθηκε η κατασκευή χημικών δεικτών με την εισαγωγή των σπιροπυρανίων σε πολυμερικά υποστρώματα πολυστυρενίου, πολυκαπρολακτόνης και μιγμάτων πολυκαπρολακτόνης με πολυεστέρες του σουνικικού οξέος παρουσία ένωσης που απορροφά την υπεριώδη ακτινοβολία και αντιοξειδωτικού. Ο χρωματισμός/αποχρωματισμός των φιλμ έγινε με τη λήψη φασμάτων UV-VIS με την επίδραση υπεριώδους ακτινοβολίας για διάφορα χρονικά διαστήματα. Επίσης μελετήθηκαν οι μηχανικές/θερμικές ιδιότητες των φιλμ. Τα φιλμ των μιγμάτων παρουσίασαν σημαντική αντοχή στην κόπωση με τη διαδοχική επίδραση υπεριώδους ακτινοβολίας
description: The aim of the present thesis was the electrochemical study of photosensitive compounds and the fabrication of chemical dosimeters for ultraviolet protection. For this specific reason both sodium nitroprusside, a photosensitive compound and some photochromic spiropyrans with different substitutents in their benzopyram moiety were studied by means of the electrochemical technique of cyclic voltammetry. Polyacrylonitrile-based carbon fibers were used as working electrodes in all cases. The electrochemical behavior of sodium nitroprusside was examined in aqueous buffered solutions in pH range between 1.0 and 12.0. The cyclic voltammetric behavior of the spiropyrans was studied in solutions containing acetonitrile or dimethylformamide. From the obtained cyclic voltammograms we proposed satisfactory mechanism for their redox behavior on carbon fiber electrodes. Afterwards we fabricated chemical dosimeters from the dispersion of the photochromic spiropyrans into polystyrene, polycaprolactone and polycaprolactone-polyethylene succinates blends. The photochromic films were illuminated with ultraviolet light for different time periods in the presence and absence of an ultraviolet absorber and an antioxidant compound. The photochromic response of the polycaprolactone-polyethylene succinates blends revealed unexceptionable repeatability to fatigue

description: Background: Adult-onset Niemann–Pick Type C is a rare neurogenetic lysosomal disorder, whose diagnosis is often delayed and missed because of its heterogeneous clinical presentations and rarity as well as the lack of awareness of characteristic eye findings among neurologists. Phenomenology Shown: Impaired smooth pursuits, saccades, and optokinetic nystagmus in the vertical direction, with relatively normal eye movements in the horizontal direction, and ataxia features on finger chase testing, tandem walking, and gait ataxia. Educational Value: Impairment of vertical eye movements in combination with ataxia, cognitive impairment, and/or psychiatric symptoms in an adult patient should always raise clinical suspicion of Niemann–Pick Type C.

description: (Abridged) As part of an ongoing effort to study the stellar nuclei of very late-type, bulge-less spirals, we present results from a high-resolution spectroscopic survey of nine such nuclear star clusters, undertaken with VLT/UVES. We fit the spectra with population synthesis models and measure Lick-type indices to determine mean luminosity-weighted ages, which range from 4.1*10^7 to 1.1*10^10 years and are insensitive to assumed metallicity or internal extinction. The average metallicity of nuclear clusters in late-type spirals is slightly sub-solar ( = 0.015) but shows significant scatter. The fits also show that the nuclear cluster spectra are best described by a mix of several generations of stars. This is supported by the fact that only models with composite stellar populations yield mass-to-light ratios that match those obtained from dynamical measurements. The last star formation episode was on average 34 Myr ago, while all clusters experienced some star formation in the last 100 Myr. We thus conclude that the nuclear clusters undergo repeated episodes of star formation. The robustness with respect to possible contamination from the underlying galaxy disk is demonstrated by comparison to spectra obtained with HST/STIS. Combining these results with those from Walcher et al. (2005), we have thus shown that the stellar nuclei of these bulge-less galaxies are massive and dense star clusters that form stars recurrently until the present day. This unique set of properties is likely due to the central location of these clusters in their host galaxies.

A Dataset and Benchmark Towards Multi-Modal Face Anti-Spoofing Under Surveillance Scenarios

description: Face Anti-spoofing (FAS) is a challenging problem due to complex serving scenarios and diverse face presentation attack patterns. Especially when captured images are low-resolution, blurry, and coming from different domains, the performance of FAS will degrade significantly. The existing multi-modal FAS datasets rarely pay attention to the cross-domain problems under deployment scenarios, which is not conducive to the study of model performance. To solve these problems, we explore the fine-grained differences between multi-modal cameras and construct a cross-domain multi-modal FAS dataset under surveillance scenarios called GREAT-FASD-S. Besides, we propose an Attention based Face Anti-spoofing network with Feature Augment (AFA) to solve the FAS towards low-quality face images. It consists of the depthwise separable attention module (DAM) and the multi-modal based feature augment module (MFAM). Our model can achieve state-of-the-art performance on the CASIA-SURF dataset and our proposed GREAT-FASD-S dataset.

description: Background: Akathisia is an inner urge to move a body area with an objective motor component of restlessness. Tardive akathisia (TA) is usually bilateral with a predominant lower-body presentation. We report two patients with an asymmetrical predominantly upper-body involvement. Case Report: Two young men with history of psychiatric problems and neuroleptic use revealed atypical TA, characterized by asymmetrical and predominantly upper-body involvement. Their main manifestations were rubbing the face, mostly with one hand, accompanied by an inner sensation of restlessness. Discussion: Our patients are proof that TA can present with asymmetrical and upper-body involvement even with normal brain imaging.

description: We investigated simultaneously the 12C(e,e'p) and 12C(e,e'pp) reactions at Q2 = 2 [GeV/c]2, x_B = 1.2, and in an (e,e'p) missing-momentum range from 300 to 600 MeV/c. At these kinematics, with a missing-momentum greater than the Fermi momentum of nucleons in a nucleus and far from the delta excitation, short-range nucleon-nucleon correlations are predicted to dominate the reaction. For(9.5 +/- 2)% of the 12C(e,e'p) events, a recoiling partner proton was observed back-to-back to the 12C(e,e'p) missing momentum vector, an experimental signature of correlations.
