description: A megújuló energia jelenleg még drágább, mint a fosszilis alapú energiatermelés, de a környezetterhelés és stratégiai kockázatok csökkentése érdekében a kőolajárak alakulásától függetlenül is célszerű megújuló energiaforrásokra váltani. A közlekedés energiahatékonyságának és szerkezetének alakulása kihatással lesz az energiaigényre és a biomassza alapú üzemanyagigényre. A bioüzemanyagok még hosszú ideig a hagyományos folyékony motorhajtóanyagokba bekeverve azok kiegészítői, nem pedig versenytársai lesznek, ez pedig ösztönzőleg hat a vegyes üzemelésű gépjárművek gyártására. A jövőbeni rendszer kialakítása azonban hosszú folyamat eredménye lesz, a technológiai, pénzügyi és infrastrukturális hiányosságok miatt még több évtizedig többnyire a hagyományosnak tekinthető módokon, belsőégésű motorokkal és folyékony üzemanyagokkal kell közlekednünk, ezért elengedhetetlen ezek hatékonyságának fejlesztése. A biogáz termelés alakulását az előállított alapanyag előállítására vonatkozó fenntarthatósági szabályozás befolyásolja, ezért is korlátozták számos uniós tagországban az energianövények biogáz célú felhasználását. Az USA-ban és az EU-ban a jövőben elsősorban a mezőgazdasági melléktermékek – szalma, kukoricaszár, erdészeti, faipari hulladék – felhasználása jöhet szóba a lágy- és fásszárú növények mellett. ------------------------- Renewable energy is still more expensive than fossil-based power generation, but in order to reduce environmental burden and strategic risks it is worthwhile switching to renewable energy sources regardless of oil price developments. The energy efficiency and structure of transport will have an impact on energy demand and biomass-based fuel demand. Biofuels will for a long time be blended with conventional liquid transport fuels and will be complementary to them, not competitors stimulating the production of flex fuel vehicles. The development of the future system will be the result of a long process due to technological, financial and infrastructural shortcomings. For the next decades, transport will be based on conventional methods, namely on internal combustion engines and liquid fuels, so it is essential to improve their efficiency. The development of biogas production is influenced by the sustainability regulation for the production of the feedstock and therefore in many EU member states the use of energy crops for biogas production has been limited. In the USA and the EU, the use of agricultural by-products, such as straw, maize stalk, forest biomass and wood waste in addition to soft-stem and woody plants can be considered as feedstock in the future.

description: The SEEDS (Social Ecological Economic Development Studies) program in UBC has been promoting the use of tap water drinking to meet the goal of Zero-Waste Action Plan by reducing 80% of all waste from the landfill by 2020. In this study, a mixed-method approach consists of two surveys (i.e. baseline survey and post-signage survey) and systematic observations were conducted to test if displaying drinking fountain wayfinding signage increase drinking fountain usage at The Nest. The post-signage survey (n=100), showed that only 25% of the participants noticed the recently installed wayfinding signage; and when they were asked to guess the purpose of the signage, only 35% participants responded with direction or tap water drinking related key words. 40 hours of systematic observation (i.e. 20 hours for each condition) showed increases of direct drinking and water bottle filling behaviors after wayfinding signage were installed; but by conducting the chi-square test, it revealed the differences were not statistically significant. The hypothesis that suggest displaying drinking fountain wayfinding signage near the drinking fountain would increase the usage of the drinking fountain, therefore, was rejected. Insights gained from this study will help develop practical implications of current signage design and future signage installation plan.

description: We analyse the possibility of defining complex valued Knot invariants associated with infinite dimensional unitary representations of $SL(2,R)$ and the Lorentz Group taking as starting point the Kontsevich Integral and the notion of infinitesimal character. This yields a family of knot invariants whose target space is the set of formal power series in $C$, which contained in the Melvin-Morton expansion of the coloured Jones polynomial. We verify that for some knots the series have zero radius of convergence and analyse the construction of functions of which this series are asymptotic expansions by means of Borel re-summation. Explicit calculations are done in the case of torus knots which realise an analytic extension of the values of the coloured Jones polynomial to complex spins. We present a partial answer in the general case.

Arguments against using $h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$ units in observational cosmology

description: It is common to express cosmological measurements in units of $h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$. Here, we review some of the complications that originate from this practice. A crucial problem caused by these units is related to the normalization of the matter power spectrum, which is commonly characterized in terms of the linear-theory rms mass fluctuation in spheres of radius $8\,h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$, $σ_8$. This parameter does not correctly capture the impact of $h$ on the amplitude of density fluctuations. We show that the use of $σ_8$ has caused critical misconceptions for both the so-called $σ_8$ tension regarding the consistency between low-redshift probes and cosmic microwave background data, and the way in which growth-rate estimates inferred from redshift-space distortions are commonly expressed. We propose to abandon the use of $h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$ units in cosmology and to characterize the amplitude of the matter power spectrum in terms of $σ_{12}$, defined as the mass fluctuation in spheres of radius $12\,{\rm Mpc}$, whose value is similar to the standard $σ_8$ for $h\sim 0.67$.

description: Tanulmányunk célja, hogy bemutassuk a termőföld, mint természeti erőforrás jelentőségét Magyarországon, különös tekintettel Komárom-Esztergom megyére, illetve rávilágítsunk a termőföld csökkenés okozta problémákra. Magyarországon a művelés alól kivett területek nagysága növekszik, amit azonban jelentős mértékben befolyásol az igénybevétel célja, a termőterület művelési ága, minősége, az ingatlan besorolása. Vizsgálatunk során a Központi Statisztikai Hivatal, a Földművelésügyi Minisztérium, a Komárom-Esztergom Megyei Kormányhivatal és Budapest Főváros Kormányhivatalának egyes Főosztályainak adatbázisait elemeztük a 2010-2016 közötti időszakban. Komárom-Esztergom megyében a termőföld igénybevétel fő célja az ipari célú fejlesztések mellett a bányászati beruházások megvalósítása volt. Az ország és a megye jelentős részét szántóként művelik, ezért a művelésből történő kivonások is a szántókat érintik a legjobban. A megyében jellemzően az átlagosnál gyengébb minőségi osztályú szántók kerültek kivonásra. A termőföld mennyiségi védelmének megfelelő kereteket ad a jelenlegi jogszabályi háttér, vannak azonban olyan beruházások, amelyek estében a földvédelmi szempontok kevésbé érvényesülnek. --------------------------------- The purpose of our study is to present the significance of the agricultural production area in Hungary as a natural resource, with special regard to Komárom-Esztergom County and to highlight the problems caused by the decline in land use. The size of uncultivated areas is increasing in Hungary, which is significantly influenced by the purpose of utilization, the cultivation branch of the area, the quality and the classification of the property. In this study we analysed the databases (2010-2016) of Hungarian Central Statistical Office, Ministry of Agriculture, certain Departments of the Government Office of Komárom-Esztergom County and Budapest. In Komárom-Esztergom County the main category of land use for other purposes was primarily to realize industrial developments followed by mining investments. A significant part of the country and the investigated county is cultivated as arable land. Therefore, the withdrawals from cultivation also affected mostly the arable lands. Typically, arable lands of poor quality were withdrawn from agricultural production in the county. The current legal background provides appropriate framework for the quantitative protection of the land. However, there are investments, in which case the land protection aspects are less prevalent.

description: This paper aims to analyze the flood hazard in the city of Monza, which periodically suffers from overflows from both the river Lambro and the urban drainage system during wet weather conditions. A unified Urban Flash Flood Model of Monza is therefore developed to capture both sources of hazard. The model is first validated by comparing the results of simulations with historical data related to the area of Monza, then is exploited to obtain maximum flood depth and velocity maps for three different return periods. Overall, the results show the different nature of the flood-related hazard and the sewer-related hazard: the former is concentrated across the rivers whereas the latter spreads patchy over the territory. Furthermore, the former features much larger water levels and flow velocities, which result in more serious hazard to citizens.

Active Brownian particles: mapping to equilibrium polymers and exact computation of moments

description: It is well known that path probabilities of Brownian motion correspond to the equilibrium configurational probabilities of flexible Gaussian polymers, while those of active Brownian motion correspond to in-extensible semiflexible polymers. Here we investigate the properties of the equilibrium polymer that corresponds to the trajectories of particles acted on simultaneously by both Brownian as well as active noise. Through this mapping we can see interesting crossovers in mechanical properties of the polymer with changing contour length. The polymer end-to-end distribution exhibits Gaussian behaviour for short lengths, which changes to the form of semiflexible filaments at intermediate lengths, to finally go back to a Gaussian form for long contour lengths. By performing a Laplace transform of the governing Fokker-Planck equation of the active Brownian particle, we discuss a direct method to derive exact expressions for all the moments of the relevant dynamical variables, in arbitrary dimensions. These are verified via numerical simulations and used to describe interesting qualitative features such as, for example, dynamical crossovers. Finally we discuss the kurtosis of the ABP's position which we compute exactly and show that it can be used to differentiate between active Brownian particles and active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.

description: In quantum process tomography, it is possible to express the experimenter's prior information as a sequence of quantum operations, i.e., trace-preserving completely positive maps. In analogy to de Finetti's concept of exchangeability for probability distributions, we give a definition of exchangeability for sequences of quantum operations. We then state and prove a representation theorem for such exchangeable sequences. The theorem leads to a simple characterization of admissible priors for quantum process tomography and solves to a Bayesian's satisfaction the problem of an unknown quantum operation.

Technology and grassroots inclusion in global governance : A study of disability rights advocated and effective participation
Creators: name: Trevisan, Filippo
name: Cogburn, Derrick
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The effective participation of the disability community in global governance is essential to ensure that key development initiatives empower the world’s one billion people with disabilities. Technology can play an important role in the creation of a more inclusive global governance. This paper discusses the results of the first global survey of Disabled People’s Organizations’ (DPO) leaders on these issues. Three levels of analysis are reviewed, including: (1) accessibility and barriers to effective participation; (2) the role of low-cost accessible technological solutions for remote participation; and (3) the use of online technologies – in particular social media platforms – by DPOs to bridge the gap between disability grassroots and global governance processes. After mapping barriers to participation, the role of technology vis-à-vis these obstacles is reviewed. Although only a small number of international conferences offer accessible virtual participation, responses from DPO advocates that used this technology provide strong evidence of the potential that these tools have to improve accessibility in global governance. Furthermore, disability organizations all over the world have adopted social media platforms as channels to liaise with their constituents and involve them in policy-making processes.

Összegzésként elmondható, hogy a minőségi turizmus kialakítása érdekében fontos a kormány által a tóturizmus fejlesztésére megítélt támogatásából a szálláshelyek csillagfokozatának az emelése, a vízi-, közúti infrastruktúra javítása és a balatoni témapark megépítése. A tóturizmusban a vendégszerkezetet tekintve a belföldiek túlnyomó többségben vannak a külföldi vendégekkel szemben, a turisztikai termék támogatásával közvetlenül a magyar kis- és középvállalkozásokat lehet fejleszteni. ------------------------ The present study, which compares and contrasts the tourism and visitor-based economic development at Balaton lake in Hungary aim to describe how roles have changed and opportunities have presented themselves in the lake tourism sector. That in the interest of the forming of the qualitative tourism the importance of the government onto the development of the lake tourism is by way bigger, his support on the increase of the star grade of the accomodations, the development aquatic and road infrastructure and the construction of the topic park of Lake Balaton. The inland ones are in a great majority opposite the foreign country guests considering the guest construction in the lake tourism, with the support of the tourism products it is possible to develop directly the Hungarian small- and medium-size enterprises.
Atomic gas far away from the Virgo cluster core galaxy NGC 4388. A possible link to isolated star formation in the Virgo cluster?

description: We have discovered 6 10^7 M_{\odot} of atomic gas at a projected distance greater than 4' (20 kpc) from the highly inclined Virgo spiral galaxy NGC 4388. This gas is most probably connected to the very extended Hαplume detected by Yoshida et al. (2002). Its mass makes a nuclear outflow and its radial velocity a minor merger as the origin of the atomic and ionized gas very unlikely. A numerical ram pressure simulation can account for the observed HI spectrum and the morphology of the Hαplume. An additional outflow mechanism is still needed to reproduce the velocity field of the inner Hαplume. The extraplanar compact HII region recently found by Gerhard et al. (2002) can be explained as a stripped gas cloud that collapsed and decoupled from the ram pressure wind due to its increased surface density. The star-forming cloud is now falling back onto the galaxy.

description: In this study, the effects of blood glucose levels on hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) were investigated. For this reason, а classification model was developed by carrying out a logistic regression analysis based on machine learning and data mining methods. The purpose of using logistic regression analysis in this study was to establish a method of creating a statistical model that is most suitable and reasonable for determining the relationship between dependent and independent variables. This model shows how effective the factors that cause an increase in the HbA1c level. It can be planned to verify this method on more Electronic Heath Records databases to address the learning method of information in the local health sector with the help of data mining and machine learning methods and different clinical problems for future work.

description: Η θάλασσα είναι συνυφασμένη με τη ζωή του ανθρώπου, αφού αποτελεί για αυτόν μέρος αναψυχής και φιλοξενεί πολυάριθμα ζωικά είδη, εκ των οποίων ορισμένα καταναλώνονται από αυτόν. Ωστόσο η θάλασσα εγκυμονεί αρκετούς κινδύνους, καθώς αποτελεί δεξαμενή ευκαιριακά παθογόνων μικροοργανισμών που μπορεί να οδηγήσουν στην ανάπτυξη λοιμώξεων. Ένα άλλο ζήτημα που έχει προκύψει είναι η ύπαρξη ανθεκτικών στα αντιβιοτικά μικροοργανισμών στο θαλάσσιο οικοσύστημα. Αυτό το φαινόμενο οφείλεται στην αλόγιστη χρήση των αντιβιοτικών σε ποικίλους τομείς, υπολείμματα των οποίων μέσω διάφορων οδών, όπως υδάτινων απορροών, λυμάτων και λοιπών ανθρωπογενών δραστηριοτήτων καταλήγουν σε υδάτινα σώματα συμπεριλαμβανομένων των θαλασσών. Η παρούσα ερευνητική διπλωματική εργασία εξέτασε την παρουσία του βακτηρίου Escherichia coli (E. coli), το οποίο είναι καθιερωμένος δείκτης κοπρανώδους μόλυνσης, σε δείγματα θαλασσινού νερού. Ακόμα μελέτησε την αντιμικροβιακή αντοχή και τις φυλογενετικές ομάδες των απομονωθέντων στελεχών. Η έρευνα πραγματοποιήθηκε σε πολυπληθή κολυμβητικής ακτή του Πειραιά κατά τη διάρκεια δύο δειγματοληψιών της κολυμβητικής περιόδου, τον Μάιο και τον Ιούλιο του 2023. Βάσει των αποτελεσμάτων η συγκεκριμένη κολυμβητική ακτή δεν συνίσταται για κολύμβηση, καθώς σε κάθε δειγματοληψία καταμετρήθηκαν >500cfu/100ml. Συνολικά, απομονώθηκαν 107 στελέχη (66 από την πρώτη και 41 από τη δεύτερη δειγματοληψία), εκ των οποίων τα 87 ταυτοποιήθηκαν ως E. coli και μελετήθηκαν περαιτέρω. Η ανάλυση της αντιμικροβιακής αντοχής έδειξε ότι τα περισσότερα στελέχη ήταν ευαίσθητα σε όλα τα υπό μελέτη αντιβιοτικά (53%, 46/87). Επίσης αρκετά συχνή ήταν η ανίχνευση ανθεκτικών στελεχών (47%, 41/87) αλλά κανένα δεν εμφάνισε πολυανθεκτικότητα. Επιπλέον, σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα της φυλογενετικής τυποποίησης, η πλειοψηφία των στελεχών κατατάχθηκε στην ομάδα Β2 (34%, 30/87) και ακολούθησαν οι ομάδες Β1 (31%, 27/87), Α (29%, 25/87) και D (6%, 5/87). Ακόμα, η ομάδα Β2 ήταν η πιο συχνή μεταξύ των ανθεκτικών πληθυσμών ενώ η Β1 μεταξύ των ευαίσθητων. Παρά το γεγονός ότι το πλήθος των ανθεκτικών στελεχών που ανευρέθηκαν ήταν μικρός αριθμός, τα ευρήματα υπογραμμίζουν την ανάγκη για συνεχή παρακολούθηση της ποιότητας του θαλασσινού νερού και της αντιμικροβιακής αντοχής σε αυτά τα ενδιαιτήματα, καθώς και την ανάπτυξη στρατηγικών για τον περιορισμό της διασποράς ανθεκτικών βακτηρίων.

description: Requiring an infinite number of conserved local charges or the existence of an underlying linear system does not uniquely determine the Moyal deformation of 1+1 dimensional integrable field theories. As an example, the sine-Gordon model may be obtained by dimensional and algebraic reduction from 2+2 dimensional self-dual U(2) Yang-Mills through a 2+1 dimensional integrable U(2) sigma model, with some freedom in the noncommutative extension of this algebraic reduction. Relaxing the latter from U(2)->U(1) to U(2)->U(1)xU(1), we arrive at novel noncommutative sine-Gordon equations for a pair of scalar fields. The dressing method is employed to construct its multi-soliton solutions. Finally, we evaluate various tree-level amplitudes to demonstrate that our model possesses a factorizable and causal S-matrix in spite of its time-space noncommutativity.

description: We propose a method based on optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) to measure the decoherence time $T_{2}$ of a single electron spin in a semiconductor quantum dot. The electron spin resonance (ESR) of a single excess electron on a quantum dot is probed by circularly polarized laser excitation. Due to Pauli blocking, optical excitation is only possible for one of the electron-spin states. The photoluminescence is modulated due to the ESR which enables the measurement of electron spin decoherence. We study different possible schemes for such an ODMR setup.

description: The effective participation of the disability community in global governance is essential to ensure that key development initiatives empower the world’s one billion people with disabilities. Technology can play an important role in the creation of a more inclusive global governance. This paper discusses the results of the first global survey of Disabled People’s Organizations’ (DPO) leaders on these issues. Three levels of analysis are reviewed, including: (1) accessibility and barriers to effective participation; (2) the role of low-cost accessible technological solutions for remote participation; and (3) the use of online technologies – in particular social media platforms – by DPOs to bridge the gap between disability grassroots and global governance processes. After mapping barriers to participation, the role of technology vis-à-vis these obstacles is reviewed. Although only a small number of international conferences offer accessible virtual participation, responses from DPO advocates that used this technology provide strong evidence of the potential that these tools have to improve accessibility in global governance. Furthermore, disability organizations all over the world have adopted social media platforms as channels to liaise with their constituents and involve them in policy-making processes.

description: This paper will expand on the connection between the ideals of philosophical and Christian happiness in relation to the private setting of Julius’s library, the Stanza della Segnatura, which was designed to nurture the activity of his soul. Additionally, this thesis will address the decision by Raphael and his advisors to include the title of Aristotle’s Eudemian-Nicomachean Ethics in Philosophy, argued here to stress the themes of contemplation, the cultivation of virtue, and happiness in the Segnatura. These themes also reinforce the concord between Aristotle and Plato in the room and target a specific moral and ethical message to Julius II. Through an Aristotelian lens, this paper will provide new interpretations on the fictive reliefs under Apollo and Minerva in Philosophy, and the figures on the entablature of Jurisprudence. Lastly, I will explore the ways in which the Segnatura activated the soul of Julius II, and allowed him to attain happiness, or eudaimonia, according to Aristotle’s Ethics.

description: We present a numerical study of classical particles diffusing on a solid surface. The particles' motion is modeled by an underdamped Langevin equation with ordinary thermal noise. The particle-surface interaction is described by a periodic or a random two dimensional potential. The model leads to a rich variety of different transport regimes, some of which correspond to anomalous diffusion such as has recently been observed in experiments and Monte Carlo simulations. We show that this anomalous behavior is controlled by the friction coefficient, and stress that it emerges naturally in a system described by ordinary canonical Maxwell-Boltzmann statistics.

description: Higher-order tensors arise frequently in applications such as neuroimaging, recommendation system, social network analysis, and psychological studies. We consider the problem of low-rank tensor estimation from possibly incomplete, ordinal-valued observations. Two related problems are studied, one on tensor denoising and the other on tensor completion. We propose a multi-linear cumulative link model, develop a rank-constrained M-estimator, and obtain theoretical accuracy guarantees. Our mean squared error bound enjoys a faster convergence rate than previous results, and we show that the proposed estimator is minimax optimal under the class of low-rank models. Furthermore, the procedure developed serves as an efficient completion method which guarantees consistent recovery of an order-$K$ $(d,\ldots,d)$-dimensional low-rank tensor using only $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(Kd)$ noisy, quantized observations. We demonstrate the outperformance of our approach over previous methods on the tasks of clustering and collaborative filtering.

description: Using the harmonic superspace approach we study the problem of low-energy effective action in N=3 SYM theory. The candidate effective action is a scale and γ_5-invariant functional in full N=3 superspace built out of N=3 off-shell superfield strengths. This action is constructed as N=3 superfield generalization of F^4/ϕ^4 component term which is leading in the low-energy effective action and is simultaneously the first nontrivial term in scale invariant Born-Infeld action. All higher-order terms in the scale invariant Born-Infeld action are also shown to admit an off-shell superfield completion in N=3 harmonic superspace.

description: The Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) is one of the two instruments onboard the ESA PLANCK satellite foreseen to be launched in 2007. The LFI will image the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies and the polarization in four different bands, with an unprecedented combination of sky coverage, calibration accuracy, control of systematic errors, and sensitivity. LFI is coupled to the PLANCK Telescope by an array of 23 high performance dual profiled corrugated feed horns. The dual reflector off axis-design of the 1.5 meter projected aperture telescope is the most advanced optical design ever conceived for accommodating large multi-beam and multi-frequency focal plane units. The location and the design of the feed horns, for both instruments, have been optimised in order to maintain good beam symmetry, even far from the optical axis, and an excellent straylight rejection. In this paper we describe the LFI instrument with emphasis on its optical performance and coupling with the PLANCK telescope.

Collective Flow signals the Quark Gluon Plasma

description: A critical discussion of the present status of the CERN experiments on charm dynamics and hadron collective flow is given. We emphasize the importance of the flow excitation function from 1 to 50 A$\cdot$GeV: here the hydrodynamic model has predicted the collapse of the $v_1$-flow and of the $v_2$-flow at $\sim 10$ A$\cdot$GeV; at 40 A$\cdot$GeV it has been recently observed by the NA49 collaboration. Since hadronic rescattering models predict much larger flow than observed at this energy we interpret this observation as potential evidence for a first order phase transition at high baryon density $ρ_B$. A detailed discussion of the collective flow as a barometer for the equation of state (EoS) of hot dense matter at RHIC follows. Additionally, detailed transport studies show that the away-side jet suppression can only partially ($

description: In this paper, we firstly extend a result of Bonin, Shapiro and Simion by giving the distribution of the major index over generalized Schröder paths. Then by providing a bijection between generalized Schröder paths and row-increasing tableaux of skew shapes with two rows, we obtain the distribution of the major index and the amajor index over these tableaux, which extends a result of Du, Fan and Zhao. We also generalize a result of Pechenik and give the distribution of the major index over increasing tableaux of skew shapes with two rows. Especially, a bijection from row-increasing tableaux with shape $(n,m)$ and maximal value $n+m-k$ to standard Young tableaux with shape $((n-k+1,m-k+1,1^k)/(1^2))$ is obtained.

description: Η εφαρμοζόμενη νομοθεσία ορίζει ότι οι παιδικοί σταθμοί πρέπει: 1. Να μεταχειρίζονται σωστά τρόφιμα και να τηρείται ένα σύστημα ποιοτικού ελέγχου, που αποσκοπεί στη διασφάλιση της υγιεινής και ποιότητας των πρώτων υλών που χρησιμοποιούνται. 2. Να ακολουθούν τις Ελληνικές διατροφικές οδηγίες, σχετικά με την σίτιση των παιδιών. Οι συγκεκριμένοι οδηγοί αποσκοπούν στην προαγωγή της υγείας των παιδιών της συγκεκριμένης ηλικιακής ομάδας και στην πρόληψη της παιδικής παχυσαρκίας, που στην χώρα μας εμφανίζεται με ιδιαίτερα υψηλά ποσοστά. Για το σκοπό αυτό, η νομοθεσία ορίζει με κάθε λεπτομέρεια ποια τρόφιμα επιτρέπεται να προσφέρονται στα γεύματα και τους τρόπους παρασκευής τους. Η συγκεκριμένη πτυχιακή, κατόπιν συνεννόησης με τις Προϊσταμένες των παιδικών σταθμών του Δήμου Κηφισιάς, κατέγραψε: 1. την παραλαβή, αποθήκευση και μεταχείριση των τροφίμων, με τα οποία θα μαγειρευτούν τα γεύματα των παιδιών, 2. τη συντήρηση των γευμάτων έως ότου προσφερθούν στα παιδιά, 3. τα είδη των τροφίμων, που χρησιμοποιούνται βάσει εποχής, 4. τις μεθόδους καθαριότητας και απολύμανσης της κουζίνας και του χώρου, όπου γευματίζουν τα νήπια, 5. τη συνολική εκπαίδευση του προσωπικού, που μεταχειρίζεται τα τρόφιμα. Το κέρδος από την έρευνά μας είναι να αναδείξουμε τους σωστούς τρόπους μεταχείρισης των τροφίμων σε έναν χώρο, όπου φιλοξενείται και σιτίζεται μία ευαίσθητη ηλικιακή ομάδα, όπως τα μικρά παιδιά.
