Global Simulations of Tidal Disruption Event Disk Formation via Stream Injection in GRRMHD

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use the general relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamics code \verb=KORAL= to simulate the early stages of accretion disk formation resulting from the tidal disruption of a solar mass star around a super massive black hole (BH) of mass $10^6\,M_\odot$. We simulate the disruption of artificially more bound stars with orbital eccentricity $e\leq0.99$ (compared to the more realistic case of parabolic orbits with $e=1$) on close orbits with impact parameter $β\geq3$. We use a novel method of injecting the tidal stream into the domain. For two simulations, we choose $e=0.99$ and inject mass at a rate that is similar to realistic TDEs. We find that the disk only becomes mildly circularized with eccentricity $e\approx0.6$ within the $3.5$ days that we simulate. The rate of circularization is faster for pericenter radii that come closer to the BH. The emitted radiation is mildly super-Eddington with $L_{\rm{bol}}\approx3-5\,L_{\rm{Edd}}$ and the photosphere is highly asymmetric with the photosphere being significantly closer to the inner accretion disk for viewing angles near pericenter. We find that soft X-ray radiation with $T_{\rm{rad}} \approx 3-5\times 10^5$ K may be visible for chance viewing angles. Our simulations predict that TDEs should be radiatively inefficient with $η\approx0.009-0.014$. These are the first simulations which simultaneously capture the stream, disk formation, and emitted radiation.

description: A major barrier to the treatment of central nervous system delivery is the ability to target drug delivery to the brain. The brain is protected by the blood-brain barrier, making it difficult for both small and especially large molecule drugs to reach their sight of action. With recent advancements in high throughput screening, some already marketed drugs have been found to be active in treating central nervous system diseases such as glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), however, some of these drugs are insufficient in their current forms to reach the brain and treat the disease. Nasal drug delivery is a promising route of delivery for treating central nervous system disease as it has shown the ability to directly transport drugs to the brain, bypassing the blood-brain barrier. Critical aspects to using nasal drug delivery to treat central nervous system diseases are the ability to target the formulation to specific sites in the nasal cavity as well as the ability of formulations to drive transport to the brain. In addition to nasal drug delivery, some drugs can benefit from improvements in bioavailability orally to increase brain exposure. Amorphous solid dispersions are a technique widely used to improve the bioavailability of the poorly-water soluble drugs however they are limited in their use for highly lipophilic drugs due to drug loading limitations. This research focuses on better understanding nasal drug delivery to leverage ways to better target sites in the nasal cavity. In addition to this targeting research, research that supports the in vitro tests for analyzing and assessing nasal drug delivery devices has been performed. Personalized nasal drug delivery in 3D-printed casts is shown to be a superior method for targeting a particular region of the nasal cavity due to the variation in individual’s nasal geometry. A large focus of the research has been to repurpose atovaquone for the treatment of glioblastoma. This research provides evidence of the benefits a new formulation strategy which incorporates a spontaneously emulsifying component into the classical amorphous solid dispersion to overcome its limitations with the highly lipophilic nature of atovaquone. The improved formulation alongside results showing activity of atovaquone against GBM present a promising repurposing strategy for atovaquone to be used in the treatment of GBM

description: Higher-order cumulants of conserved charge distributions are sensitive observables to probe the critical fluctuations near QCD critical point in heavy-ion collisions. Due to high interaction rate, pileup event can be one of the major sources of background in the measurements of higher-order cumulants. In this paper, we studied the effects of pileup events on higher-order cumulants of proton multiplicity distributions using UrQMD model. It is found that the proposed pileup correction fails if the correction parameters are determined by the Glauber fitting of charged particle multiplicities, which is usually done in the real heavy-ion experiment. To address this, we propose a model independent unfolding approach to determine the parameters in the pileup correction. This approach can be applied in the pileup correction for the future measurement of higher-order cumulants in heavy-ion collision experiment.

description: In this paper, we first discuss the general properties of an intermediate-statistics quantum bracket, $[ u,v]_{n}=uv-e^{i2π/(n+1)}vu$, which corresponds to intermediate statistics in which the maximum occupation number of one quantum state is an arbitrary integer, $n$. A further study of the operator realization of intermediate statistics is given. We construct the intermediate-statistics coherent state. An intermediate-statistics oscillator is constructed, which returns to bosonic and fermionic oscillators respectively when $n\to \infty $ and $n=1$. The energy spectrum of such an intermediate-statistics oscillator is calculated. Finally, we discuss the intermediate-statistics representation of angular momentum ($su(2)$) algebra. Moreover, a further study of the operator realization of intermediate statistics is given in the Appendix.

description: Visual speech (i.e., lip motion) is highly related to auditory speech due to the co-occurrence and synchronization in speech production. This paper investigates this correlation and proposes a crossmodal speech co-learning paradigm. The primary motivation of our cross-modal co-learning method is modeling one modality aided by exploiting knowledge from another modality. Specifically, two cross-modal boosters are introduced based on an audio-visual pseudo-siamese structure to learn the modality-transformed correlation. Inside each booster, a max-feature-map embedded Transformer variant is proposed for modality alignment and enhanced feature generation. The network is co-learned both from scratch and with pretrained models. Experimental results on the LRSLip3, GridLip, LomGridLip, and VoxLip datasets demonstrate that our proposed method achieves 60% and 20% average relative performance improvement over independently trained audio-only/visual-only and baseline fusion systems, respectively.
Optimal operation of a hydroelectric reservoir

description: This thesis examines the influence of different degrees of serial correlation in the streamflow records on optimal operation of a hydroelectric reservoir. This thesis also investigates the practical aspects of choosing different decision variables, considering effects on ease of implementation, total benefit, and actual use for real-time operations. Stochastic dynamic programming was used to optimize the long-term operation of a hydroelectric project with a single reservoir. Reservoir inflows were analyzed using monthly flow record for 58 years with the assumption that monthly inflows are either perfectly correlated, uncorrelated, or partially correlated. Reservoir level change and powerhouse discharge were considered as alternative decision variables for each of the three cases of inflow serial correlation. The optimization results were then examined and compared to determine the significance of the choice of decision variables and to explore the effects of inflow serial correlation on practical operating decisions which might be based on the results of the optimization. It was found that (1) Case 2 in which inflows were assumed perfectly correlated and Case 3 with partially correlated inflows produce, respectively, highest and lowest total expected return, (2) the difference in total expected return between cases depends largely upon the physical characteristics of the system, (3) the reservoir level change decision case produces more conservative results than the discharge decision case, (4) the results from the reservoir level change decision are easier to use for realtime operation than those from the discharge decision case, (5) different results will be produced with different choice of decision variables.

description: Spontaneous decay of an excited atomic state is a fundamental process that originates from the interaction between matter and vacuum modes of the electromagnetic field. The rate of decay can thus be engineered by modifying the density of final states of the joint atom-photon system. Imposing suitable boundary conditions on the electromagnetic field has been shown to alter the density of vacuum modes near the atomic transition, resulting in modified atomic decay rates. Here we report the first experimental demonstration of suppression of atomic radiative decay by reducing the density of available energy-momentum modes of the atomic motion when it is embedded inside a Fermi sea.

description: We address the problem of multiresolution module detection in dense weighted networks, where the modular structure is encoded in the weights rather than topology. We discuss a weighted version of the q-state Potts method, which was originally introduced by Reichardt and Bornholdt. This weighted method can be directly applied to dense networks. We discuss the dependence of the resolution of the method on its tuning parameter and network properties, using sparse and dense weighted networks with built-in modules as example cases. Finally, we apply the method to data on stock price correlations, and show that the resulting modules correspond well to known structural properties of this correlation network.

description: Geometric frustration arises when lattice structure prevents simultaneous minimization of local interactions. It leads to highly degenerate ground states and, subsequently, complex phases of matter such as water ice, spin ice and frustrated magnetic materials. Here we report a simple geometrically frustrated system composed of closely packed colloidal spheres confined between parallel walls. Diameter-tunable microgel spheres are self-assembled into a buckled triangular lattice with either up or down displacements analogous to an antiferromagnetic Ising model on a triangular lattice. Experiment and theory reveal single-particle dynamics governed by in-plane lattice distortions that partially relieve frustration and produce ground-states with zigzagging stripes and subextensive entropy, rather than the more random configurations and extensive entropy of the antiferromagnetic Ising model. This tunable soft matter system provides an uncharted arena in which the dynamics of frustration, thermal excitations and defects can be directly visualized.

description: Статинотерапия у пациентов высокого и очень высокого сердечно-сосудистого риска: оптимальный подход.2020
В настоящей статье затрагиваются проблемы адекватной терапии дислипидемий у пациентов высокого и очень высокого сердечно-сосудистого риска в условиях клинической практики. Согласно обновленным российским и европейским рекомендациям по лечению дислипидемий представлены пять категорий сердечно-сосудистого риска, включая новую категорию экстремального риска, а также уточнены цели профилактики и лечения атеросклероза. Представлены данные наиболее значимых клинических исследований с применением розувастатина, подчеркивающих его высокую гиполипидемическую эффективность, влияние на процессы прогрессирования атеросклероза и прогноз жизни у пациентов с сердечно-сосудистой патологией.
Лечащие врачи нередко недооценивают масштабы распространенности пациентов с высоким и очень высоким ССР. Без колебаний к данным группам они относят пациентов с клиническими проявлениями атеротромбоза, а именно ИБС, заболеваниями периферических артерий и т.д. При этом из орбиты их внимания зачастую уходят лица с несколькимиФР, такими как артериальная гипертензия невысокой степени, умеренная ДЛП, курение, которые в совокупности могут иметь высокий и даже очень высокий ССР
Результаты исследование EUROASPIRE V (European Action on Secondary and Primary Prevention by Intervention to Reduce Events V)показывают, что частота назначения статинов пациентам с ИБС в Европе за последние годы значительно выросла. При этом доля пациентов, достигающих целевых значений ХС ЛНП <1,8 ммоль/л, практически не изменилась [35].
В российской популяции статинотерапия назначается в ~10 раз реже, чем в зарубежных странах, и у пациентов высокого и очень высокого ССР остается крайне недостаточной. Согласно данным российского эпидемиологического исследования ЭССЕ-РФ, только 42% пациентов со стабильной ИБС знают уровень своего ХС, из них <10% получают статины и у <10% удается достичь целевого уровня ХС ЛНП

description: The relation between tidal interactions, starbursts, and the onset and/or fueling of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is a matter of debate. I Zw 1 is considered as the prototypical narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy (NLS1) and as one of the closest quasi-stellar objects (QSOs). With a clear spiral host and a small companion galaxy to the west, I Zw 1 is a possible example of minor-merger-related nuclear activity. This study investigates possible signs of a relation between merger process, star formation activity, and AGN properties in the case of I Zw 1. The morphology of I Zw 1 and nearby sources is investigated via high-resolution NIR images. Color trends in the host galaxy of I Zw 1 are discussed by means of optical-to-NIR color composites. Long-slit spectra of the QSO nucleus of I Zw 1 and of the two nearby sources to the north and the west of the I Zw 1 disk are analyzed. The data support the scenario of a tidal interaction between I Zw 1 and the small companion galaxy to the west. A concentration of blue color in the western part of the I Zw 1 host galaxy might be the manifestation of merger-induced star formation activity. Previous findings that the likely companion has an old evolved stellar population are substantiated by the new data. An extension to the west of the putative companion emerges as a separate source. The source to the north of the I Zw 1 disk is reconfirmed as a late-type foreground star. Lines in the nuclear K-band spectrum of I Zw 1 are discussed in comparison to data prior to this article and line fluxes are reported.

description: We aim at estimating a function $λ:[0,1]\to \mathbb {R}$, subject to the constraint that it is decreasing (or increasing). We provide a unified approach for studying the $\mathbb {L}_p$-loss of an estimator defined as the slope of a concave (or convex) approximation of an estimator of a primitive of $λ$, based on $n$ observations. Our main task is to prove that the $\mathbb {L}_p$-loss is asymptotically Gaussian with explicit (though unknown) asymptotic mean and variance. We also prove that the local $\mathbb {L}_p$-risk at a fixed point and the global $\mathbb {L}_p$-risk are of order $n^{-p/3}$. Applying the results to the density and regression models, we recover and generalize known results about Grenander and Brunk estimators. Also, we obtain new results for the Huang--Wellner estimator of a monotone failure rate in the random censorship model, and for an estimator of the monotone intensity function of an inhomogeneous Poisson process.

Late-time emission of type Ia supernovae: optical and near-infrared observations of SN 2001el

description: We present optical and near-infrared light curves of SN 2001el from 310 to 445 days past maximum light, obtained with the Very Large Telescope. The late-time optical (UBVRI) light curves decay in a nearly linear fashion with decay time scales of 1.43\pm0.14, 1.43\pm0.06, 1.48\pm0.06, 1.45\pm0.07, and 1.03\pm0.07 magnitudes (per hundred days) in the U, B, V, R and I bands, respectively. In contrast, in the near-infrared (JHKs) bands the time evolution of the flux appears to be nearly constant at these epochs. We measure decline rates (per hundred days) of 0.19\pm0.10 and 0.17\pm0.11 magnitudes in the J and H bands, respectively. We construct a UVOIR light curve, and find that the late-time luminosity has a decay time scale nearly consistent with complete depostion of positron kinetic energy. The late-time light curves of the normal type Ia SN 2001el demonstrate the increased importance of the near-infrared contribution. This was previously observed in the peculiar SN 2000cx, and the results for SN 2001el thus ensure that the conclusions previously based on a single peculiar event are applicable to normal type Ia supernovae. The measured late-time UVOIR decline rate suggests that a majority of the positrons are trapped within the ejecta. This results does not favor the predictions of a weak and/or radially combed magnetic field configuration.

description: The previously known, 6-yr spectroscopic binary HR 6046 has been speculated in the past to contain a compact object as the secondary. A recent study has re-determined the orbit with great accuracy, and shown that the companion is an evolved but otherwise normal star of nearly identical mass as the primary, which is also a giant. The binary motion was detected by the Hipparcos mission but was not properly accounted for in the published astrometric solution. Here we use the Hipparcos intermediate data in combination with the spectroscopic results to revise that solution and establish the orbital inclination angle for the first time, and with it the absolute masses M(A) = 1.38 [-0.03,+0.09] M(Sun) and M(B) = 1.36 [-0.02,+0.07] M(Sun). Aided by other constraints, we investigate the evolutionary status and confirm that the primary star is approaching the tip of the red-giant branch, while the secondary is beginning its first ascent.

description: Oxygen vacancies at the SnO2(110) and (101) surface and subsurface sites have been studied in the framework of density functional theory by using both all-electron Gaussian and pseudopotential plane-wave methods. The all-electron calculations have been performed using the B3LYP exchange-correlation functional with accurate estimations of energy gaps and density of states. We show that bulk oxygen vacancies are responsible for the appearance of a fully occupied flat energy level lying at about 1 eV above the top valence band, and an empty level resonant with the conduction band. Surface oxygen vacancies strongly modify the surface band structures with the appearance of intragap states covering most of the forbidden energy window, or only a small part of it, depending on the vacancy depth from the surface. Oxygen vacancies can account for electron affinity variations with respect to the stoichiometric surfaces as well. A significant support to the present results is found by comparing them to the available experimental data.

description: In real-world scenarios, many factors may harm face recognition performance, e.g., large pose, bad illumination,low resolution, blur and noise. To address these challenges, previous efforts usually first restore the low-quality faces to high-quality ones and then perform face recognition. However, most of these methods are stage-wise, which is sub-optimal and deviates from the reality. In this paper, we address all these challenges jointly for unconstrained face recognition. We propose an Multi-Degradation Face Restoration (MDFR) model to restore frontalized high-quality faces from the given low-quality ones under arbitrary facial poses, with three distinct novelties. First, MDFR is a well-designed encoder-decoder architecture which extracts feature representation from an input face image with arbitrary low-quality factors and restores it to a high-quality counterpart. Second, MDFR introduces a pose residual learning strategy along with a 3D-based Pose Normalization Module (PNM), which can perceive the pose gap between the input initial pose and its real-frontal pose to guide the face frontalization. Finally, MDFR can generate frontalized high-quality face images by a single unified network, showing a strong capability of preserving face identity. Qualitative and quantitative experiments on both controlled and in-the-wild benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of MDFR over state-of-the-art methods on both face frontalization and face restoration.

description: We investigate conformal symmetries of the Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis-Maldacena (ABJM) theory for multiple M2 branes and the Lorentzian Bagger-Lambert-Gustavsson (L-BLG) theory which can be obtained by taking a scaling limit k (>>N) -> \infty of the ABJM theory. The conformal symmetry is maintained in the L-BLG by considering general space-time varying solutions to the constraint equations. The dual geometry is reduced to d=10 AdS4 x CP3 in the scaling limit and has the same conformal symmetry. The curvature radius R satisfies l_{11p} << l_{10p} << R << l_s (l_{dp} and l_s are the d-dimensional Planck lengths and the string scale), and the theory is in a region where an α' expansion is not valid. We also study how the SO(8) covariance is recovered in the AdS4 x CP3 geometry by taking the scaling limit.

description: We present an ab initio calculation of the DC conductivity of amorphous silicon and hydrogenated amorphous silicon. The Kubo-Greenwood formula is used to obtain the DC conductivity, by thermal averaging over extended dynamical simulation. Its application to disordered solids is discussed. The conductivity is computed for a wide range of temperatures and doping is explored in a naive way by shifting the Fermi level. We observed the Meyer-Neldel rule for the electrical conductivity with E_MNR = 0.06 eV and a temperature coefficient of resistance, TCR ~ -2.0% K^-1 for a-Si:H. In general, experimental trends are reproduced by these calculations, and this suggests the possible utility of the approach for modeling carrier transport in other disordered systems.

description: InN phase is grown in crystalline InP(100) substrates by 50 keV N+ implantation at an elevated temperature of 400 deg C followed by annealing at 525 deg C in N2 ambient. Crystallographic structural and Raman scattering studies are performed for the characterization of grown phases. Temperature- and power-dependent photoluminescence studies show direct band-to-band transition peak ~1.06 eV at temperatures <=150K. Implantations at an elevated temperature with a low ion beam current and subsequent low temperature annealing step are found responsible for the growth of high-quality InN phase.

description: Στόχος της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν να εξεταστεί εάν οι γνωστικές λειτουργίες (εργαζόμενη μνήμη, αναστολή, γνωστική ευελιξία) ενεργούν ως προσωπικοί πόροι που μπορούν να αποτρέψουν τα υψηλά επίπεδα επαγγελματικής εξουθένωσης (δηλ., εξάντληση και αποδέσμευση από την εργασία). Στη βάση της θεωρίας εργασιακών απαιτήσεων-πόρων αναμενόταν ότι οι γνωστικές λειτουργίες θα συνδέονται αρνητικά με τη διάσταση της αποδέσμευσης δια μέσου της θετικής τους σχέσης με τους εργασιακούς πόρους. Επιπλέον, αναμενόταν ότι οι γνωστικές λειτουργίες θα ρυθμίζουν τη θετική σχέση ανάμεσα στις εργασιακές απαιτήσεις και την εξάντληση, με τρόπο ώστε η σχέση να είναι ασθενέστερη για τα εργαζόμενα άτομα με υψηλότερα επίπεδα γνωστικής λειτουργικότητας. Στην έρευνα έλαβαν μέρος 70 εργαζόμενα άτομα, τα οποία συμπλήρωσαν ηλεκτρονικά μια νευροψυχολογική συστοιχία και ένα ερωτηματολόγιο. Τα αποτελέσματα δεν επιβεβαίωσαν την υπόθεση της διαμεσολάβησης. Ωστόσο, βρέθηκε ότι ελλείμματα στην αναστολή συνδέονται με περισσότερη υποστήριξη από τους συναδέλφους. Επίσης, σε αντίθεση με την υπόθεση ρύθμισης, βρέθηκε ότι ο εργασιακός φόρτος και οι νοητικές απαιτήσεις σχετίζονται θετικά με την εξάντληση μόνο για άτομα που έχουν υψηλότερα επίπεδα εργαζόμενη μνήμης και σχεδιαστικής ευελιξίας, αντίστοιχα. Η παρούσα έρευνα συμβάλλει στη βιβλιογραφία για το εάν οι γνωστικές λειτουργίες καθορίζουν ή καθορίζονται από την επαγγελματική εξουθένωση.
description: The aim of this study was to investigate whether cognitive functioning (working memory, inhibition, cognitive flexibility) act as personal resources that can prevent high levels of burnout (i.e., exhaustion and disengagement from work). Based on job demandsresources theory it was expected that cognitive functions will relate negatively to disengagement via their positive relationship with job resources. In addition, it was expected that cognitive functions will moderate the positive relationship between job demands and exhaustion in a way that the relationship would be weaker for employees with better cognitive functioning. Seventy employees completed a neuropsychological battery and a questionnaire online. Results did not confirm the mediation hypothesis. However, it was found that inhibition impairments related with more colleague support. Also, contrary to the moderation hypothesis, results showed that workload and mental demands related positively to exhaustion only for employees with better working memory and design fluency, respectively. The present research contributes to the literature on whether cognitive functions affect or are affected by job burnout.

description: Doctor-Patient's inextricable bond, as well as all rights and obligations deriving from it, make it urgent to form a thorough legal framework, so as to ensure medical practice, according to medical standards and rules of law. This study is aiming at analyzing all sorts of doctor's liability issues occurring at medical practice while delineating the fundamentals of Medical law in Greek legal system. The big increase of cases concerning doctor's civil, penal and disciplinary liability in our country, as well as in Europe and globally, that end either in court or in out-of court settlement with severe physical, emotional, economic and social consequences in both patient's and doctor's lives, demands the co-ordination of legal, medical and other human-centered sciences so as to best deal with it, in terms of protecting both sides' (patient's and doctor's) rights, according to the Constitution, National and European legislation.

description: In this work we consider the permutational properties of multipartite entanglement monotones. Based on the fact that genuine multipartite entanglement is a property of the entire multi-qubit system, we argue that ideal definitions for its characterizing quantities must be permutation-invariant. Using this criterion, we examine the three 4-qubit entanglement monotones introduced by Osterloh and Siewert [Phys. Rev. A. 72, 012337]. By expressing them in terms of quantities whose permutational properties can be easily derived, we find that one of these monotones is not permutation-invariant. We propose a permutation-invariant entanglement monotone to replace it, and show that our new monotone properly measures the genuine 4-qubit entanglement in 4-qubit cluster-class states. Our results provide some useful insights in understanding multipartite entanglement.

description: A Heisenberg uncertainty relation is derived for spatially-gated electric and magnetic field fluctuations. The uncertainty increases for small gating sizes which implies that in confined spaces the quantum nature of the electromagnetic field must be taken into account. Optimizing the state of light to minimize the electric at the expense of the magnetic field, and vice versa should be possible. Spatial confinements and quantum fields may alternatively be realized without gating by interaction of the field with a nanostructure. Possible applications include nonlinear spectroscopy of nanostructures and optical cavities and chiral signals.

description: Η εργασία αυτή πραγματεύεται την αντιμετώπιση από πλευράς πολιτείας του κοινωνικού φαινομένου της χρήσης ναρκωτικών ουσιών. Δεν υπάρχει αμφιβολία ότι η χρήση ναρκωτικών ουσιών από μέρος του πληθυσμού μίας κοινωνίας αποτελεί ένα κοινωνικό πρόβλημα με πολύ σημαντικές αρνητικές παραμέτρους. Ο ίδιος ο χρήστης οδηγείται με σημαντική πιθανότητα στην εξάρτηση από τις ουσίες αυτές, χάνει την υγεία του, σταματάει να παράγει και να αποτελεί μέρος του φυσιολογικού κοινωνικού γίγνεσθαι, δημιουργεί προβλήματα στην κοινωνική συνοχή και στους οικείους του και ενδεχόμενα δημιουργεί κινδύνους για την υγεία τρίτων προσώπων. Υπάρχει η αντίθετη άποψη ότι ο χρήστης, ο ίδιος δε θέτει σε κίνδυνο κανένα έννομο αγαθό τρίτου προσώπου. Σε κάθε περίπτωση όμως τα ναρκωτικά απειλούν την κοινωνία με πολλούς τρόπους και αποτελούν ένα σοβαρότατο κοινωνικό ζήτημα. Ο Έλληνας νομοθέτης, σε αντίθεση με άλλους νομοθέτες έχει αναγάγει τη χρήση ναρκωτικών ως έγκλημα, κάτι που όπως θα αναλύσουμε ταυτόχρονα σημαίνει πως θεωρεί πως η χρήση ναρκωτικών πέρα από αυτοβλάβη είναι και ετεροβλάβη.
description: This paper deals with the state's treatment of the social phenomenon of drug use. There is no doubt that the use of drugs by part of the population of a society is a social problem with very significant negative parameters. The user himself is led with a significant probability to dependence on these substances, loses his health, stops producing and being part of the normal social process, creates problems for social cohesion and those close to him and possibly creates risks for the health of third parties .There is the opposite opinion that the user himself does not endanger any legal property of a third party. In any case, drugs threaten society in many ways and are a very serious social issue. The Greek legislator, unlike other legislators, has characterized the use of drugs as a crime, which, as we will analyze at the same time, means that he considers that the use of drugs, in addition to self-harm, is also harm to others.
