description: Οι κοινωνικοοικονομικοί παράγοντες που βρίσκονται πίσω από τη δημοκρατία είναι σύμφωνα με τη θεωρία και τη διεθνή βιβλιογραφία πολλοί. Με κυριότερους την εκπαίδευση και το εισόδημα(Murtin και Wacziarg,2013). Με την παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία επιχειρείται η διερεύνηση της σχέσης μεταξύ εκπαίδευσης και δημοκρατίας καθώς και το αντίστροφο. Δηλαδή κατά πόσο η δημοκρατία λειτουργεί ευεργετικά στην εξάπλωση της εκπαίδευσης (Galor και Weil,1996,2000). Η μέθοδος που ακολουθείται προκειμένου να επιτευχθεί αυτός ο σκοπός είναι η βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση. Το εμπειρικό ενδιαφέρον αυτής της μελέτης επικεντρώνεται στην Αφρική και πιο συγκεκριμένα σε χώρες της υπο-Σαχάριας Αφρικής. Με βάση τα ιδιαίτερα χαρακτηριστικά της ηπείρου και των προβλημάτων και προκλήσεων που αυτή αντιμετωπίζει όσον αφορά την εγκαθίδρυση και την εδραίωση της δημοκρατίας, παρουσιάζονται τα αποτελέσματα των ερευνών σχετικά με τη σύνδεση της δημοκρατίας με της εκπαίδευση καθώς και το αντίστροφο.
description: According to theory and bibliographic references the social and economic prerequisites which lay behind democracy are many. The most prominent of which are education and income (Murtin και Wacziarg, 2013).The aim of this dissertation is to explore the link between education and democracy and vice versa. More specifically, the extent in which education facilitates the expansion of democracy and vice versa(Galor και Weil,1996,2000) ,with the research method of literature review. This paper focuses on Africa, mainly in sub-Saharan African counties. Based on the unique characteristics of the continent and the problems and challenges which Africa faces as far as concerns the establishment and consolidation of democracy, this paper presents the results of research studies which explore the link between education and democracy.

Στο πλαίσιο αυτό, επισημαίνεται ο ρόλος της διαλογικότητας, αναδεικνύεται η καθοριστική σημασία του διαλόγου για τη διαμόρφωση των ταυτοτήτων και την αναζήτηση του νοήματος και τονίζεται ο κοινωνικά προσδιορισμένος ρόλος του εκφωνήματος. Γίνεται προσπάθεια σύνδεσης της αρχής της διαλογικότητας του Μπαχτίν, με τη θεωρία και την πράξη της εκπαίδευσης καθώς αυτή αποτελεί ένα σημαντικό εργαλείο για την αναζήτηση του ανθρώπινου νοήματος μέσα από το διάλογο και την πολυφωνία της σχολικής πραγματικότητας. Παράλληλα παρουσιάζονται και αναλύονται, ερευνητικά δεδομένα που χρησιμοποιούν την μπαχτινική φιλοσοφία ως θεωρητικό πλαίσιο και μεθοδολογικό εργαλείο και διερευνώνται διαλογικές, διδακτικές προσεγγίζεις και πρακτικές στην σχολική τάξη.
description: This dissertation discusses the key terms and concepts operative in the thought of Mikhail Bakhtin. I identify the role of dialogism, bring out the significance of dialogue for identity formation and pursuit of meaning, and emphasise the socially determined aspect of utterance. Connections are drawn between Bakhtin's principle of dialogism and pedagogical theory and practice which constitutes an important tool for pursuing meaning through the dialogue and polyphony of the school reality. At the same time, I present and analyse research data that use Bakhtin's philosophy as both a theoretical framework and a methodological tool, and finally examine dialogical teaching practices and approaches in the classroom.

description: Aims: The massive twin cores NGC6334I and I(N) are in different evolutionary stages and hence ideal targets to study evolutionary variations within the same larger-scale environment. Here, we study the warm, compact gas components. Methods: We imaged the two regions with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) at high angular resolution in the NH3(3,3) to (6,6) inversion lines. Results: Compact emission is detected toward both regions in all observed inversion lines with energy levels up to 407K above ground. This is particularly surprising for NGC6334I(N) since it lacks bright infrared emission and is considered a massive cold core at an early evolutionary stage. High optical depth and multiply-peaked line profiles complicate rotation temperature estimates, and we can only conclude that gas components with temperatures >100K are present in both regions. Toward NGC6334I, we confirm previous reports of NH3(3,3) maser emission toward the outflow bow-shocks. Furthermore, we report the first detection of an NH3(6,6) maser toward the central region of NGC6334I. This maser is centered on the second millimeter (mm) peak and elongated along the outflow axis, indicating that this mm continuum core harbors the driving source of the molecular outflow. Toward the main mm peak in NGC6334I(N), we detect a double-horn line profile in the NH3(6,6) transition. The current data do not allow us to differentiate whether this double-horn profile is produced by multiple gas components along the line of sight, or whether it may trace a potential underlying massive accretion disk. The data to Figures 3 to 7 are also available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/.

description: Στη παρούσα εργασία μελετάμε το πρόβλημα των τεσσάρων σωμάτων, προσομοιώνοντας το αριθμητικά στον υπολογιστή. Στο πρώτο μέρος της εργασίας συγκρίνουμε διάφορες αριθμητικές μεθόδους ολοκλήρωσης και επιλέγουμε να χρησιμοποιήσουμε δύο από αυτές. Στο δεύτερο μέρος μελετάμε την ευστάθεια ενός συστήματος τριών πλανητών στο οποίο τοποθετούμε αρχικά τον εξωτερικό πλανήτη αρκετά μακριά και σε κάθε προσομοίωση τον τοποθετούμε όλο και πιο κοντά στους δύο εσωτερικούς ώστε να μελετήσουμε πότε το σύστημα αποσταθεροποιείται, αλλάζοντας εκτός από την απόσταση του εξωτερικού και διάφορες άλλες παραμέτρους. Τέλος στο τελευταίο κομμάτι της εργασίας μελετάμε ένα μη διατηρητικό μοντέλο στο οποίο ασκείται μια δύναμη τριβής στον εξωτερικό πλανήτη προσομοιάζοντας μια Τύπου ΙΙ πλανητική μετανάστευση. Αλλάζοντας αρκετές παραμέτρους κάθε φορά, εξετάζουμε αν δημιουργούνται τριπλοί συντονισμοί μέσης κίνησης μεταξύ των πλανητών, όπως παρατηρείται σε άλλα ηλιακά συστήματα, και μελετάμε τα χαρακτηριστικά των περιπτώσεων που κατέληξαν σε ευσταθείς τριπλούς συντονισμούς.
description: In this thesis we simulate the four-body problem using computational methods in the computer. In the first part we compare several arithmetic methods, and we choose two of them to make our simulation. In the second part we examine the stability of the system if the outer planet is far and in every simulation is approaching the two inner planets, and changing several parameters for this scenario. In the last part we examine a non-conservative model if a dissipative force is acting to the outer planet, simulating a Type II planetary migration. Changing also several parameters, we examine if the planets are going to be captured in a triple mean-motion resonance, as it is observed in extrasolar systems and we study their main characteristics of these stable configurations of triple resonances.

description: In this Letter we study various spin correlated insulating states of F=2 cold atoms in optical lattices. We find that the effective spin exchange interaction due to virtual hopping contains an {\em octopole} coupling between two neighboring lattice sites. Depending on scattering lengths and numbers of particles per site the ground states are either rotationally invariant dimer or trimer Mott insulators or insulating states with various spin orders. Three spin ordered insulating phases are ferromagnetic, cyclic and nematic Mott insulators. We estimate the phase boundaries for states with different numbers of atoms per lattice site.

description: We report the discovery of a bright (H=12.77) brown dwarf designated SIMP J013656.5+093347. The discovery was made as part of a near-infrared proper motion survey, SIMP (Sondage Infrarouge de Mouvement Propre), which uses proper motion and near-infrared/optical photometry to identify brown dwarf candidates. A low resolution (lambda/dlambda~40) spectrum of this brown dwarf covering the 0.88-2.35 microns wavelength interval is presented. Analysis of the spectrum indicates a spectral type of T2.5+/-0.5. A photometric distance of 6.4+/-0.3 pc is estimated assuming it is a single object. Current observations rule out a binary of mass ratio ~1 and separation >5 AU. SIMP 0136 is the brightest T dwarf in the northern hemisphere and is surpassed only by Eps Indi Bab over the whole sky. It is thus an excellent candidate for detailed studies and should become a benchmark object for the early-T spectral class.

description: We present time-resolved photometry of the optical counterpart to the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127, which has remained in the low/hard X-ray state and bright at optical/IR wavelengths since its discovery in 2005. At the time of our observations Swift J1753.5-0127 does not show a decay trend but remains stable at R=16.45 with a night to night variability of ~0.05 mag. The R-band light curves, taken from 2007 June 3 to August 31, are not sinusoidal, but exhibit a complex morphology with remarkable changes in shape and amplitude. The best period determination is 3.2443+-0.0010 hours. This photometric period is likely a superhump period, slightly larger than the orbital period. Therefore, Swift J1753.5-0127 is the black hole candidate with the shortest orbital period observed to date. Our estimation of the distance is comparable to values previously published and likely places Swift J1753.5-0127 in the Galactic halo.

Non-equilibrium Phase Transitions with Long-Range Interactions

Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This review article gives an overview of recent progress in the field of non-equilibrium phase transitions into absorbing states with long-range interactions. It focuses on two possible types of long-range interactions. The first one is to replace nearest-neighbor couplings by unrestricted Levy flights with a power-law distribution P(r) ~ r^(-d-sigma) controlled by an exponent sigma. Similarly, the temporal evolution can be modified by introducing waiting times Dt between subsequent moves which are distributed algebraically as P(Dt)~ (Dt)^(-1-kappa). It turns out that such systems with Levy-distributed long-range interactions still exhibit a continuous phase transition with critical exponents varying continuously with sigma and/or kappa in certain ranges of the parameter space. In a field-theoretical framework such algebraically distributed long-range interactions can be accounted for by replacing the differential operators nabla^2 and d/dt with fractional derivatives nabla^sigma and (d/dt)^kappa. As another possibility, one may introduce algebraically decaying long-range interactions which cannot exceed the actual distance to the nearest particle. Such interactions are motivated by studies of non-equilibrium growth processes and may be interpreted as Levy flights cut off at the actual distance to the nearest particle. In the continuum limit such truncated Levy flights can be described to leading order by terms involving fractional powers of the density field while the differential operators remain short-ranged.

description: Μία σύνοψη της χαϊντεγκεριανής οντολογίας, μία οξεία κριτική στη Μεταφυσική και σε έναν περιορισμένο βαθμό μία απάντηση στον υπαρξισμό του Sartre, θα μπορούσε να ειπωθεί ότι είναι τα τρία σημεία τα οποία συνθέτουν την κύρια θεματολογία της Επιστολής για τον Ανθρωπισμό (1946) του Martin Heidegger, με αφορμή το ερώτημα για τον Ανθρωπισμό που του θέτει ο νεαρός φιλόσοφος Jean Beaufret. Με το δοκίμιο αυτό ο Heidegger επιτελεί μία σπουδαία μετατόπιση της θεώρησης του δυτικού ανθρωπισμού, καθώς απομακρύνει τον άνθρωπο από το κέντρο της ανθρωπιστικής θεώρησης και τοποθετεί στη θέση του το Είναι. Σε ολόκληρη την Επιστολή ενυπάρχει η προσπάθεια του Heidegger να υποστηρίξει ότι η φιλοσοφία του θα μπορούσε επίσης να χαρακτηριστεί ως ανθρωπιστική, καθώς απορρίπτει τον παραδοσιακό ανθρωπισμό συγκροτώντας μία νέα, ανώτερη μορφή ανθρωπισμού. Η απελευθέρωση της έννοιας του Ανθρωπισμού από τους περιορισμούς της Μεταφυσικής και η διεύρυνση του ορισμού και του πεδίου της συζήτησης από τη Χαϊντεγκεριανή φιλοσοφία, ανατρέπουν εκ βάθρων τις αρχές που η δυτική ανθρωποκεντρική ουμανιστική παράδοση θέτει έως τότε και δημιουργούν ένα νέο πλαίσιο συζήτησης.
description: An epitome of Heideggerian ontology, a sharp criticism of metaphysics and a limited response to Sartre's Existentialism, are the threefold thing mentioned which constitute the main theme of the Letter on Humanism (1946) by Martin Heidegger, in response to the question of Humanism which arise from the young philosopher Jean Beaufret. In this essay Heidegger accomplish a significant transposition in the form of western humanism theory, by removing man from the centre of the humanitarian conception and puts the Being in its place. Through the Letter Heidegger attempt to characterise his philosophical conception as a form of humanism, with an argument based on rejection of the traditional humanism and establishment of a new and higher reinterpretation of thinking. The liberation of humanism from the limitations of metaphysics and widening the definition and discussion of the scope in the Heideggerian philosophy, subvert fundamentally the principles of the western anthropocentric humanist tradition and create a new framework for discussion.

description: We demonstrate the decoy-state quantum key distribution (QKD) with one-way quantum communication in polarization space over 102km. Further, we simplify the experimental setup and use only one detector to implement the one-way decoy-state QKD over 75km, with the advantage to overcome the security loopholes due to the efficiency mismatch of detectors. Our experimental implementation can really offer the unconditionally secure final keys. We use 3 different intensities of 0, 0.2 and 0.6 for the pulses of source in our experiment. In order to eliminate the influences of polarization mode dispersion in the long-distance single-mode optical fiber, an automatic polarization compensation system is utilized to implement the active compensation.

description: Background: CITE-seq is a scalable method that uses oligonucleotide-tagged antibodies to integrate multiplexed cell surface protein, unbiased transcriptome measurements and immune profiling into a single-cell read-out to give detailed analyses of cell phenotypes.
Methods: Chromium 10X 5’ sc-RNA-CITE-seq experiments using single-cell suspensions from thawed healthy donor PBMCs both unstimulated and subjected to SEB stimulation and blister fluid cells from a patient with an acute severe cutaneous blistering disease were selected magnetically for live cells using Annexin V beads. 5’ Cell hashing using DNA-sequence tagged antibodies was utilized to test pooling of samples in a single 10X reaction. Suspensions were stained with 5’ DNA-sequence tagged antibodies (TotalSeq-C) that represented standard lymphocyte lineages (CD3, CD4, CD8, CD14, CD16, CD19, CD20, CD27, CD45RO, CD45RA, CCR7, CD95, CD127, CD56). Antibodies were titrated to 0.5x, 1x and 2x concentrations under stimulated and unstimulated conditions, 1x for the blister fluid and a pooled sample including all concentrations. CellRanger (version 3.0.0) was used to demultiplex the raw sequencing data and extract filter and correct barcodes and unique molecular identifiers (UMIs), remove cDNA PCR duplicates and align reads to the human transcriptome (GRCh38) using STAR. The resulting BAM files and filtered count matrices were used in downstream analyses in visual genomics analysis studio (VGAS).

Results: Reproducible results were obtained with antibody titrations 0.5x suggesting that lower concentration should be feasible and trialed. 5’cell hashing is a viable approach for pooling samples for CITE-seq experiments. CITE-seq results were comparable to flow cytometry providing further validation. VGAS is a user-friendly visualization and data analysis platform suitable for these analyses.
Conclusions: We have confirmed that 5’CITE-seq with cell hashing is a scalable and cost-effective approach for defining cell phenotypes from a variety of sample types under differing conditions.

description: We study the fundamental problem of counting the number of nodes in a sparse network (of unknown size) under the presence of a large number of Byzantine nodes. We assume the full information model where the Byzantine nodes have complete knowledge about the entire state of the network at every round (including random choices made by all the nodes), have unbounded computational power, and can deviate arbitrarily from the protocol. Our main contribution is a randomized distributed algorithm that estimates the size of a network under the presence of a large number of Byzantine nodes. In particular, our algorithm estimates the size of a sparse, "small-world", expander network with up to $O(n^{1 - δ})$ Byzantine nodes, where $n$ is the (unknown) network size and $δ$ can be be any arbitrarily small (but fixed) positive constant. Our algorithm outputs a (fixed) constant factor estimate of $\log(n)$ with high probability; the correct estimate of the network size will be known to a large fraction ($(1 - ε)$-fraction, for any fixed positive constant $ε$) of the honest nodes. Our algorithm is fully distributed, lightweight, and simple to implement, runs in $O(\log^3{n})$ rounds, and requires nodes to send and receive messages of only small-sized messages per round; any node's local computation cost per round is also small.
Cosmological consequences of a scalar field with oscillating equation of state. III. Unifying inflation with dark energy and small tensor-to-scalar ratio

description: We investigate the inflationary consequences of the oscillating dark energy model proposed by Tián [\href{https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.101.063531}{Phys. Rev. D {\bf 101}, 063531 (2020)}], which aims to solve the cosmological coincidence problem with multi-accelerating Universe (MAU). We point out that the inflationary dynamics belong to slow-roll inflation. The spectral index of scalar perturbations and the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ are shown to be consistent with current \textit{Planck} measurements. Especially, this model predicts $r\sim10^{-7}$, which is far below the observation limits. This result motivates us to explore the smallness of $r$ in the general MAU. We propose a quintessential generalization of the original model and prove $r<0.01$ in general. The null detection to date of primordial gravitational waves provides a circumstantial evidence for the MAU. After the end of inflation, the scalar field rolls toward infinity instead of a local minimum, and meanwhile its equation of state is oscillating with an average value larger than $1/3$. In this framework, we show that gravitational particle creation at the end of inflation is capable of reheating the Universe.

Thus, space-times under consideration are asymptotically anti-de Sitter and admit an inner boundary representing an isolated horizon. This allows us to derive a first law of black hole mechanics that involves only quantities defined quasi-locally at the horizon, without having to assume that the bulk space-time is stationary. The first law proposed by Gibbons et al. for the Kerr-AdS family follows from a special case of this much more general first law.

description: Unsupervised time series clustering is a challenging problem with diverse industrial applications such as anomaly detection, bio-wearables, etc. These applications typically involve small, low-power devices on the edge that collect and process real-time sensory signals. State-of-the-art time-series clustering methods perform some form of loss minimization that is extremely computationally intensive from the perspective of edge devices. In this work, we propose a neuromorphic approach to unsupervised time series clustering based on Temporal Neural Networks that is capable of ultra low-power, continuous online learning. We demonstrate its clustering performance on a subset of UCR Time Series Archive datasets. Our results show that the proposed approach either outperforms or performs similarly to most of the existing algorithms while being far more amenable for efficient hardware implementation. Our hardware assessment analysis shows that in 7 nm CMOS the proposed architecture, on average, consumes only about 0.005 mm^2 die area and 22 uW power and can process each signal with about 5 ns latency.

The impact of Tomicobia tibialis (Hymenoptera : pteromalidae) on the pine engraver, Ips pini (Coleoptera : scolytidae)

description: Augmentative release of biological control agents against pest insects is a management tool that has been largely ignored in forestry due to a lack of understanding and means of producing potential agents. I investigated the effects of Tomicobia tibialis Ashmead on the reproductive potential of adult Ips pini (Say) by comparing the reproductive indices of parasitized and healthy adult beetles maintained together in different combinations in pine logs. From these experiments I determined that the parasitoid most greatly impacts female beetle reproductive performance resulting in shorter gallery lengths and decreased offspring production before the female dies. Male beetle reproductive success depended on the females in his harem; however, the parasitized male cannot go on to subsequent infestations as a healthy male may. Thus the overall reduction in beetle reproduction resulting from parasitism can be substantial. Laboratory rearing methods for T. tibialis using pine logs were also established, and an attempt to rear these parasitoids from beetles held on artificial medium was made. In sum, it is possible to rear this parasitoid and the impact on its host beetle is better understood. I feel further investigation into augmentation using T. tibialis against I. pini is warranted.

description: Based on recent achievements in phylogenetic studies of the Brassicaceae, a novel infrafamilial classification is proposed that includes major improvements at the subfamilial and supertribal levels. Herein, the family is subdivided into two subfamilies, Aethionemoideae (subfam. nov.) and Brassicoideae. The Brassicoideae, with 57 of the 58 tribes of Brassicaceae, are further partitioned into five supertribes, including the previously recognized Brassicodae and the newly established Arabodae, Camelinodae, Heliophilodae, and Hesperodae. Additional tribus-level contributions include descriptions of the newly recognized Arabidopsideae, Asperuginoideae, Hemilophieae, Schrenkielleae, and resurrection of the Chamireae and Subularieae. Further detailed comments on 17 tribes in need of clarifications are provided.

description: The role of strong absorption of particles in intermidiate and final states has been considered. The range of applicability of phenomenological model of absorption has been studied. This model is nonuniversal. Its applicability depends on the type of interaction Hamiltonian and matrix element used. We also demonstrate that the violation of the unitarity condition can produce a qualitative error in the results. The absorption (decay) in the final state does not tend to suppress the total process probability as well as the probability of the channel corresponding to absorption. This is true for the reactions, decays and $n\bar{n}$ conversion in the medium.

description: The quintessence field coupled to the cosmic neutrino background (CNB) has been widely discussed as an alternative mechanism to address the coincidence problem. As it is well known, it is possible to extend such models to obtain quintessential inflation, that is, to incorporate inflationary stage as well. Taking an alternative route, one can start from the well established inflationary models and obtain successful quintessence models at the expense of coupling with the CNB. To Follow this route, we use a slightly reformulated model addressed in PRD95, 123521 (2017). This particular model assumes $\mathcal{Z}_2$ symmetry for both scalar field potential and coupling term, which then breaks down in course of the cosmological evolution. For our discussion, however, the $\mathcal{Z}_2$ symmetry of the potential is not mandatory the model to work. The conventional mechanism of particle production by the oscillating inflaton field (and their subsequent thermalization) remains operative. It is plain to see that the proposed construction can be easily applied for many successful models of inflation to incorporate dark energy at the expense of coupling with the CNB. We address the issue of neutrino nuggets from the quantum field theory point of view. Namely, these nuggets are considered as bound states caused basically by the Yukawa force, which arises in the framework of linear perturbation theory due to exchange of virtual quanta of quintessence field between the neutrinos.

description: Στόχος της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν η διερεύνηση της επίδρασης ατομικών και οικογενειακών παραγόντων στο βαθμό εμπλοκής των πατέρων στη ζωή και τη φροντίδα των παιδιών τους. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, διερευνήθηκε η επίδραση που ασκούν στην πατρική εμπλοκή τα δημογραφικά χαρακτηριστικά του πατέρα, η ικανοποίησή του από τη συζυγική σχέση, η γονεϊκή του αυτό-αποτελεσματικότητα και οι πεποιθήσεις του ίδιου και της συζύγου για τους ρόλους των φύλων. Πήραν μέρος 138 παντρεμένα ζευγάρια με παιδιά τα οποία ζουν σε μεγάλο αστικό κέντρο της Ελλάδας. Η συλλογή των δεδομένων έγινε μέσω ερωτηματολογίων αυτό-αναφοράς και προκειμένου να ελεγχθούν οι υποθέσεις που διαμορφώθηκαν χρησιμοποιήθηκε η εικοστή δεύτερη έκδοση του στατιστικού πακέτου SPSS. Μέσα από τη στατιστική ανάλυση των δεδομένων προέκυψε ότι η πατρική εμπλοκή επηρεάζεται σε μεγάλο βαθμό από τις πεποιθήσεις και των δύο συζύγων για τους ρόλους των φύλων στην οικογένεια και το δημόσιο βίο, από την ικανοποίηση του πατέρα από τη συζυγική σχέση και από την αντιλαμβανόμενη γονεϊκή του αυτό-αποτελεσματικότητα. Επιπλέον, αναδείχθηκαν σημαντικές διαφορές στις απαντήσεις που δίνουν οι άνδρες και οι γυναίκες, κυρίως αναφορικά με τις πεποιθήσεις για τους ρόλους των φύλων. Τέλος, γίνεται συζήτηση των ευρημάτων της παρούσας έρευνας, καταδεικνύονται οι περιορισμοί της και γίνονται προτάσεις εφαρμογής με βάση τα αποτελέσματά της.
description: The present study aimed to investigate the effect of individual and family factors on the degree of paternal involvement. In particular, a number of individual factors (e.g. demographic characteristics of the father) as well as father’s satisfaction of the marital relationship, parental self-efficacy and parents’ attitudes toward gender roles were tested as predictors of paternal involvement. The sample of this study consisted of a total of 138 married couples with children living in urban districts of Greece who were asked to complete voluntarily a set of self-report questionnaires measuring all the above variables. Data were analyzed using the twenty-second edition of the statistical package SPSS. The main findings of the study showed that father involvement is greatly affected by both parents’ attitudes regarding gender roles, by father’s satisfaction about marital relationship and his perceived parental self-efficacy. Furthermore, significant differences were found concerning the way both spouses respond to the variables we studied, particularly with respect to their attitudes toward gender roles. Findings are discussed in light of current theory and evidence, whereas limitations and future directions are pointed out.

description: Vanadium Dioxide (VO2) is a strongly correlated material, which exhibits insulator to metal transition at ~68 C along with large resistivity and infrared optical reflectance modulation. In this work, we use atmospheric pressure thermal oxidation of Vanadium to synthesize VO2 films on glass and ITO coated glass substrates. With the optimized short oxidation durations of 2 min and 4 min, the synthesized VO2 film shows high optical reflectance switching in long-wavelength infrared on glass substrates and mid-wavelength infrared on ITO coated glass substrates, respectively. Peak reflectance switching values of ~76% and ~79% are obtained on the respective substrates, which are among the highest reported values. Using the reflectance data, we extract VO2 complex refractive index in infrared wavelengths, in both the insulating and metallic phases. The extracted refractive index shows good agreement with VO2 synthesized using other methods. This demonstration of high optical reflectance switching in VO2 thin films, grown on low cost glass and ITO coated glass substrates, using a simple low thermal budget process will aid in enhancing VO2 applications in the optical domain.

description: We have observed the young protostellar system NGC 2264 CMM3 in the 1.3 mm and 2.0 mm bands at a resolution of about 0.1$"$ (70 au) with ALMA. The structures of two distinct components, CMM3A and CMM3B, are resolved in the continuum images of both bands. CMM3A has an elliptical structure extending along the direction almost perpendicular to the known outflow, while CMM3B reveals a round shape. We have fitted two 2D-Gaussian components to the elliptical structure of CMM3A and CMM3B, and have separated the disk and envelope components for each source. The spectral index $α$ between 2.0 mm and 0.8 mm is derived to be 2.4-2.7 and 2.4-2.6 for CMM3A and CMM3B, respectively, indicating the optically thick dust emission and/or the grain growth. A velocity gradient in the disk/envelope direction is detected for CMM3A in the CH$_3$CN, CH$_3$OH, and $^{13}$CH$_3$OH lines detected in the 1.3 mm band, which can be interpreted as the rotation of the disk/envelope system. From this result, the protostellar mass of CMM3A is roughly evaluated to be $0.1- 0.5$ $M_\odot$ by assuming Keplerian rotation. The mass accretion rate is thus estimated to be $5\times10^{-5}$ - 4 $\times$ $10^{-3}$ $M_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$, which is higher than typical mass accretion rate of low-mass protostars. The OCS emission line shows a velocity gradient in both outflow direction and disk/envelope direction. A hint of outflow rotation is found, and the specific angular momentum of the outflow is estimated to be comparable to that of the disk. These results provide us with novel information on the initial stage of a binary/multiple system.

description: En juillet 2016 paraissait une version révisée du programme-cadre d’apprentissage à la maternelle et au jardin d’enfants en Ontario. Se réclamant de l’apprentissage par le jeu dans une culture d’enquête, une lecture préliminaire a dévoilé la présence des principes d’une approche pédagogique italienne, l’approche Reggio Emilia (ARE). Nous avons souhaité examiner cette pénétration de la philosophie de l’ARE dans un programme-cadre officiel nord-américain. Une analyse de contenu nous a permis de constater que tous les concepts-phare de l’ARE y figurent explicitement. Ils ont été interprétés et incorporés dans notre cadre éducationnel qui demande évaluation selon des attentes et des contenus d’apprentissage préétablis. Bien que cette soumission à des preuves d’apprentissage et de rendement puisse être discutable dans le contexte d’un programme basé sur l’apprentissage par le jeu, le programme révisé de l’éducation à la petite enfance de l’Ontario est désormais plus proche de l’enfant et de ses manières d’apprendre.
Completion of occluded objects in early vision : an exploration of spatial limits
Creators: name: Shore, David I.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Our visual experience is of complete objects despite the fact that the retina is often given only partial views of these objects. Objective support for this perceptual completion of partly occluded objects was generated in Experiment 1 in which same-different response time (RT) was measured for objects that were either complete, partly occluded, or notched. Complete and partly occluded objects yielded similar RTs, while notched objects took much longer to match. For larger amounts of overlap the occluded condition took longer than the whole condition. This suggested that rapid completion is limited to relatively small gap sizes. In Experiment 2, we varied the amount of occlusion systematically in order to find the limit of rapid completion. With 25%object occlusion or less, we again found evidence for rapid completion; beyond this point subjects appeared to use a strategy that was similar to that used in the notch condition. The separability of completion from other cognitive processes was investigated using two strategies. First, in Experiment 3 the task demands were varied from an identification task to a categorization task. Similar spatial limitations were found for both of these tasks. Second, in Experiment 4 the target was a moving object and it was again found that completion was separable from other later processes such that moving targets were easier to complete but no easier to classify. These results support the proposal of a preattentive completion process that is spatially limited.
