description: What does caring mean to nursing students? How and from whom do they learn about caring? In order to better understand the meaning of caring in nursing and in nursing education, as well as how people demonstrate caring, nursing students' perceptions and experiences of caring were investigated in this study. Other researchers have investigated caring in nursing and nursing education, however, references related to students' experiences of caring in nursing education are sparse. Sixteen in-depth interviews were carried out with research participants from a large Western Canadian university school of nursing. Three major areas were explored: students' descriptions of caring, the effect of context on students' perceptions of caring, and faculty members from whom students learned about caring. Students identified five descriptors that represented caring: empathy, helping others by doing things for and with them, compassion, professional caring, and holism. Contextual influences on caring identified by students were also explored. Data describing caring faculty members were summarized with the acronym, C.A.R.I.N.G.: Capabilities; Attitudes towards students; Responses to students; Intuition; Nature of the instructor; and Generosity towards students. Students' descriptions of uncaring faculty members were placed into the acronym as well. In addition, participants described ideal faculty members and role models of caring. Conclusions were developed from this investigation. Implications were identified for nursing educators, nursing education administrators and nursing students. The first conclusion was that empathy is critical to caring. Implications for promoting empathy were addressed through the concept of reciprocity. The second conclusion was that caring requires effective communication. Implications for enhancing communication were explored through the term dialogue between educational administrators, educators and students. A third conclusion was that an emphasis on caring has to be developed and maintained throughout nursing education. Implications for achieving this emphasis were explored through collective commitment to encourage caring by faculty and administrators. Finally, the expectations for faculty members by students, administrators and themselves were examined. Implications were addressed through balancing the tension between these expectations which at present do not create balance between academic, professional and personal demands.

description: The paper examines the views of parents of children with .special (and not so special) needs, and their relationship with their child's school. It aims to compare the two groups of parents and schools and to discover if their views are in agreement or not. The paper concludes that the needs and the fears of all parents are similar with the parents of children with special needs expressing stronger fears for their own inadequacy and a more dire need for support. On the basis of these findings we are called to formulate educational policy and adopt educational practice which relates to all parents and all children.

description: Την τελευταία δεκαετία οι επιγενετικές τροποποιήσεις της χρωματίνης θεωρούνται καθοριστικές στην απόκριση διαφόρων ειδών φυτών στην αβιοτική καταπόνηση όπως τα είδη Arabidopsisthaliana, SolanumlycopersicumandPisumsativum. Μεγάλος αριθμός μελετών έχει εξετάσει το ρόλο των επιγενετικών τροποποιήσεων στην απόκριση της καταπόνησης ξηρασίας, ανακαλύπτοντας νέους παράγοντες, που επηρεάζουν την απόκριση και την ικανότητα επιβίωσης των φυτών στην έλλειψη νερού. Ένας από τους παράγοντες που πιθανόν εμπλέκεται στην επιγενετική ρύθμιση της απόκρισης του A. Thaliana στην ξηρασία, είναι ο YAF9a. Ο YAF9a είναι ένας από τις δύο πρωτεΐνες που είναι ορθόλογες του παράγοντα Yaf9 του Saccharomycescerevisiae, ο οποίος συμμετέχει στα πολυπρωτεϊνικάσύμπλοκαNuA4 και SWR1. Αποτελέσματα προηγούμενων μελετών υποστηρίζουν πως φυτά knockoutyaf9a-1 αποκρίνονται στην έλλειψη νερού διαφορετικά από τον άγριο τύπο και πιθανότατα λόγω προ-εγκλιματισμού. Ο στόχος της εργασίας αυτής είναι να εξετάσει περαιτέρω τις προαναφερθείσες παρατηρήσεις. Τα αποτελέσματα που διεξήχθηκαν από την εργασία αυτή υποδηλώνουν ότι η μετάλλαξηyaf9a-1οδηγεί σε προ-εγκλιματισμό στην ξηρασία, όμως για την εξέταση του ρόλου του παράγοντα YAF9a στην απόκριση των φυτών στην καταπόνηση ξηρασίας χρειάζεται επιπλέον έρευνα.
description: Over the last decade, epigenetic modifications of chromatin have beenconsidered to determine the response to abiotic stress of various plant species such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Solanumlycopersicum and Pisumsativum. Many studies have examined the role of epigenetic modifications in the drought stress response and identified novel factors, that affect the plant’s response and ability to survive under water shortage. One of the factors possibly involved in the epigenetic regulation of water stress response in A. thaliana, is YAF9a. YAF9a is one of two orthologs to Yaf9 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which participates in multiprotein complexes NuA4 and SWR1. Previous data suggested yaf9a-1 knockout mutant plants respond to water shortage differently from wild type and possibly because of pre-adaptation. This study aims to investigate these findings further. Our results reveal several lines of evidencethat indicateyaf9a-1mutation leadsto pre-adaptation to drought, but additional research is required to examine the roles of YAF9a in plant response to drought stress.

description: Video transcoding is the process of converting a video to the format supported by the viewer's device. Video transcoding requires huge storage and computational resources, thus, many video stream providers choose to carry it out on the cloud. Video streaming providers generally need to prepare several formats of the same video (termed pre-transcoding) and stream the appropriate format to the viewer. However, pre-transcoding requires enormous storage space and imposes a significant cost to the stream provider. More importantly, pre-transcoding proven to be inefficient due to the long-tail access pattern to video streams in a repository. To reduce the incurred cost, in this research, we propose a method to partially pre-transcode video streams and re-transcode the rest of it in an on-demand manner. We will develop a method to strike a trade-off between pre-transcoding and on-demand transcoding of video streams to reduce the overall cost. Experimental results show the efficiency of our approach, particularly, when a high percentage of videos are accessed frequently. In such repositories, the proposed approach reduces the incurred cost by up to 70\%.

description: The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of social factors on literacy of 9 years-old primary school children. The independent variables were: sex, education of father and mother, profession of mother and father, family size and birth order. The sample of the study consisted of 89 primary school pupils aged from 8.03 to 9.04 years old, from four schools of Volos and Patras. Assessment instruments included a reading comprehension test, a reading accuracy test, a vocabulary test, Raven -CPM test and six subtests of literacy skills derived from the Athena Test (Sentence completion, Word Completion, Sound Synthesis, Sound Discrimination, Letter Discrimination and Verbal Analogies). Factor Analysis of the ten dependent variables revealed one factor called "language-reading ability". Multiple Regression Analysis indicated that the independent variables predicted pupils' attainments on "language-reading ability" (p = .007). Limitations and implications of the study are critically discussed.

Για την επίτευξη του παραπάνω στόχου χρησιμοποιήθηκε η ιστορική-ερμηνευτική μέθοδος. Στα πρώτα κεφάλαια παρατίθεται το ιστορικό και θεωρητικό πλαίσιο του υπό έρευνα θέματος, ενώ στη συνέχεια αναλύεται πρωτογενές υλικό. Βασικές πηγές της εργασίας αποτελούν οι περισσότεροι Οδηγοί Διδασκαλίας και τα περισσότερα Αλφαβητάρια που έχουν εντοπιστεί και καταγραφεί στο ελεύθερο ελληνικό κράτος για την περίοδο 1880-1895. Από τους Οδηγούς Διδασκαλίας αξιοποιούνται όσα στοιχεία αναφέρονται στην ανάγνωση, στη μεθόδευση της διδασκαλίας της πρώτης ανάγνωσης και στις αρχές, στις οποίες βασίστηκε, ενώ τα Αλφαβητάρια εξετάζονται ως προς τη δομή τους, την εικονογράφησή τους, την πορεία διδασκαλίας που ακολουθούν και την κατανομή της διδακτέας ύλης. Η έρευνα αναδεικνύει ότι η παρούσα μέθοδος διδασκαλίας της πρώτης ανάγνωσης, η οποία κατατάσσεται στις φωνητικές μεθόδους και αποτελεί πρόδρομο της αναλυτικοσυνθετικής, δεν έχει ακόμη αποκρυσταλλωθεί πλήρως. Ωστόσο, είναι εμφανής η προσπάθεια των παιδαγωγών να προσεγγίσουν το παιδί και να το διευκολύνουν στην εκμάθηση της πρώτης ανάγνωσης, ενώ δεν μπορεί να παραγνωριστεί το γεγονός ότι η συγκεκριμένη μέθοδος αποτελεί έναν σημαντικό σταθμό στην ιστορία της μεθόδευσης της διδασκαλίας της πρώτης ανάγνωσης στην Ελλάδα.
description: The aim of the present thesis is the study and the presentation of the method of teaching reading used at the liberated Greek State between the years 1880 and 1895. In order to achieve this aim, historic-hermeneutic method was used. In the first chapters, the historical and theoretical status is presented. Then, Teaching Guides and Spelling Books of the period 1880-1895, which are the main primary sources of this thesis, are analyzed. The elements referring to the reading, to the method of teaching reading and its principals derive from the Teaching Guides, while Spelling Books are examined for their structure, their illustration, their teaching method and the curriculum. The study concludes that the present method of teaching reading, which belongs to phonics methods and is the precursor of the analytico-synthetic method, is not yet fully formed. However, the attempt of the pedagogues to approach the kid and to facilitate their learning of how to read is obvious, while it is an undeniable fact that this method is an important stage to the history of teaching reading in Greece.

description: We study the Ising model two-point diagonal correlation function $ C(N,N)$ by presenting an exponential and form factor expansion in an integral representation which differs from the known expansion of Wu, McCoy, Tracy and Barouch. We extend this expansion, weighting, by powers of a variable $λ$, the $j$-particle contributions, $ f^{(j)}_{N,N}$. The corresponding $ λ$ extension of the two-point diagonal correlation function, $ C(N,N; λ)$, is shown, for arbitrary $λ$, to be a solution of the sigma form of the Painlev{é} VI equation introduced by Jimbo and Miwa. Linear differential equations for the form factors $ f^{(j)}_{N,N}$ are obtained and shown to have both a ``Russian doll'' nesting, and a decomposition of the differential operators as a direct sum of operators equivalent to symmetric powers of the differential operator of the elliptic integral $ E$. Each $ f^{(j)}_{N,N}$ is expressed polynomially in terms of the elliptic integrals $ E$ and $ K$. The scaling limit of these differential operators breaks the direct sum structure but not the ``Russian doll'' structure. The previous $ λ$-extensions, $ C(N,N; λ)$ are, for singled-out values $ λ= \cos(πm/n)$ ($m, n$ integers), also solutions of linear differential equations. These solutions of Painlevé VI are actually algebraic functions, being associated with modular curves.

description: This study aimed at investigating (a) the influence of contextual background on known object recognition and (b) the above influence as a function of age and sex. Three hundred and fifty participants, aged 7- 20 years (M=175, F= 175), were tested on a recognition task. A series of ANOVAs showed that a congruent background, even if it changes between presentation and test phases into a different but still congruent background, facilitated object recognition, while an incongruent background or a deleted one deteriorated performance. Recognition of objects in a congruent background developed with age from 7 to 15 years old and declined the next five years, but in the case of incongruent or deleted background the development was not continuous. Girls recognized more objects than boys, did in the case of incongruent background or a deleted one.

Συγκεκριμένα στη Φόνισσα και στη Γυφτοπούλα. Μέσα από αυτά τα κείμενα επισημαίνουμε τη σύνδεση της ύπαρξης και του χώρου, ως δυο συνιστώσες που δρουν μαζί, αλλά και ξέχωρα. Οι φιλόσοφοι στους οποίους αναφερόμαστε συχνά είναι: ο Κίρκεγκωρ, ο Καντ, ο Μπασλάρ, ο Σωνιέρ, ο Κορμπέν και ο Π. Δόικος. Αντλώντας στοιχεία από τη φιλοσοφία τους, μπορούμε να αποδείξουμε τη σύνδεση της ύπαρξης και του χώρου. Αυτό που προκύπτει από την εργασία, είναι πως ο χώρος γίνεται υποκείμενο και αποκτά τη δική του ύπαρξη και ως υποκείμενο δρα μαζί με την ύπαρξη των πρωταγωνιστών, έχοντας ως αποτέλεσμα να ευθύνεται για την εξέλιξη της προσωπικής υπόθεσης των ηρώων.
description: The essay has as a title: Existence and space in Alexandros Papadiamantis. The elaboration of this has as target to improve the strong presence of existence and space and the relationship between the two, we do this with our deepening in two literary works of Papadiamantis. Specifically to Fonisa and Gyftopoula. Through these texts notes the link between the existence and the space, as two components that act together but also apart. Philosophers often referred to are: Kierkegaard, Kant, Bachelard, Saunier, Corbin and P. Doikos. Drawing on the philosophy can prove the connection of existence and space. What emerges from the work is that space becomes subjective and acquires its own existence, as a subject acting together with the existence of the protagonists, resulting to be responsible for the development of the personal affairs of heroes.

description: We determine optimal designs for some regression models which are frequently used for describing three-dimensional shapes. These models are based on a Fourier expansion of a function defined on the unit sphere in terms of spherical harmonic basis functions. In particular, it is demonstrated that the uniform distribution on the sphere is optimal with respect to all $Φ_p$ criteria proposed by Kiefer in 1974 and also optimal with respect to a criterion which maximizes a $p$ mean of the $r$ smallest eigenvalues of the variance--covariance matrix. This criterion is related to principal component analysis, which is the common tool for analyzing this type of image data. Moreover, discrete designs on the sphere are derived, which yield the same information matrix in the spherical harmonic regression model as the uniform distribution and are therefore directly implementable in practice. It is demonstrated that the new designs are substantially more efficient than the commonly used designs in three-dimensional shape analysis.

description: This paper is an empirical research concerning with the organization, functioning and staffing of the all day schools. The results have shown that the department of creative activities within the school consists mainly from teachers with only few years of educational experience. The great majority of teachers are not willing to continue offer their services under the present conditions. The evidence also suggest that half of the teachers that went to these schools on their own wish, do not want to stay at these types of schools. Thus, it is suggested either the improvement or the re-designing of these types of schools in order to the efficiency to be raised or the continuation of the present state of these schools with all the administrative and educational weaknesses.

description: We report an experimental evaluation of the "input-output surface" for a biochemical AND gate. The obtained data are modeled within the rate-equation approach, with the aim to map out the gate function and cast it in the language of logic variables appropriate for analysis of Boolean logic for scalability. In order to minimize "analog" noise, we consider a theoretical approach for determining an optimal set for the process parameters to minimize "analog" noise amplification for gate concatenation. We establish that under optimized conditions, presently studied biochemical gates can be concatenated for up to order 10 processing steps. Beyond that, new paradigms for avoiding noise build-up will have to be developed. We offer a general discussion of the ideas and possible future challenges for both experimental and theoretical research for advancing scalable biochemical computing.

description: Using a structural equation model this research study investigated the student attitudes towards science of the 8th grade students in Cyprus. This study proposes a model of the effects of educational background of the family, school climate, reinforcement and teaching on student attitudes toward science. Through the use of LISREL, a structural equation model was developed with data obtained from the TIMSS-R 1999 database, the model contains three exogenous constructs -the educational background of the family, the reinforcement and school climate- and two endogenous constructs -leaching and student attitudes. The study demonstrated that reinforcement and school climate influence teaching; the family's educational background, the environmental reinforcement: and the school climate influence student attitudes toward science, and teaching has direct effect on science attitudes, in general, the Cyprus model fits the data from Australia, Canada, and Korea, although there are some minor differences among them.

description: We study the duality between the two dimensional black hole and the sine-Liouville conformal field theories via exact operator quantization of a classical scattering problem. The ideas are first illustrated in Liouville theory, which is dual to itself under the interchange of the Liouville parameter b by 1/b. In both cases, a classical scattering problem does not determine uniquely the quantum reflection coefficient. The latter is only fixed by assuming that the dual scattering problem has the same reflection coefficient. We also discuss the relation of this approach to the method that exploits the parafermionic symmetry of the model to compute the reflection coefficient.

An investigation of the relationship between reasons for participation in continuing professional education and subsequent application of learning

description: Continuing professional education (CPE) is regarded by professionals, professional associations, and the public as a means of ensuring competent practitioners. It is of limited use to the professional and their practice if what is learned is not used in, or to improve practice. Thus a better understanding of whether professionals apply what they learn to practice, and why, is of interest to adult educators. This study explores the linkage between voluntary and non-voluntary reasons for participation in CPE and subsequent application of learning. This investigation involved analyses of data collected as part of a large-scale evaluation of the Centre for Substance Abuse Protection Training Systems (CTS). The evaluation focused upon application of learning as a consequence of participation in the CTS workshop. Questionnaires were used to collect data from CTS workshop participants on three separate occasions; before, immediately after and two to four months following completion of the workshop. The sample was comprised of 281 health care professionals (physicians, nurses, mental health counsellors and rehabilitation specialists). Chi-square tests for association revealed significant associations between three voluntary reasons for participation (need to do your job or volunteer activities differently, confirm what you are already doing is O.K., and chance to network with others) and application of learning. Non-significant associations were found between application of learning and one voluntary (general interest) and one non-voluntary (required by organization to participate) reason for participation. The three voluntary reasons for participation associated with application of learning imply intrinsic motivation as a linking factor in the association. Further analyses demonstrated that the data from the nursing sub-group influenced the data from the combined sample of health care professionals. Additional exploration of the nursing sample revealed that situational factors also contribute to application of learning. Greater application of learning was noted for participants who had previous training in substance abuse prevention, found the workshop useful and relevant, and had sufficient resources available at their workplace. It was concluded that in addition to intrinsic motivation, situational factors also influence application of learning.
On the Enhancement of Mass Loss in Cepheids Due to Radial Pulsation

description: An analytical derivation is presented for computing mass-loss rates of Cepheids by using the method of Castor, Abbott, & Klein (1975) modified to include a term for momentum input from pulsation and shocks generated in the atmosphere. Using this derivation, mass-loss rates of Cepheids are determined as a function of stellar parameters. When applied to a set of known Cepheids, the calculated mass-loss rates range from 10^{-10} to 10^{-7}M_{Sun}/yr, larger than if the winds were driven by radiation alone. Infrared excesses based on the predicted mass-loss rates are compared to observations from optical interferometry and IRAS, and predictions are made for Spitzer observations. The mass-loss rates are consistent with the observations, within the uncertainties of each. The rate of period change of Cepheids is discussed and shown to relate to mass loss, albeit the dependence is very weak. There is also a correlation between the large mass-loss rates and the Cepheids with slowest absolute rate of period change due to evolution through the instability strip. The enhanced mass loss helps illuminate the issue of infrared excess and the mass discrepancy found in Cepheids.

description: Using a sample of 3 million psi(2S) decays recorded by the CLEO detector, we study three-body decays of the chi_c0, chi_c1, and chi_c2 produced in radiative decays of the psi(2S). We consider the final states pi+ pi- eta, K+ K- eta, p p-bar eta, pi+ pi- eta-prime, K+ K- pi0, p p-bar pi0, pi+ K- K0S, and K+ p-bar Lambda, measuring branching fractions or placing upper limits. For chi_c1 decays to pi+ pi- eta, K+ K- pi0, and pi+ K- K0S our observed samples are large enough to indicate the largest contributions to the substructure.

description: Here we introduce a model in which individuals differ in the rate at which they seek new interactions with others, making rational decisions modeled as general symmetric two-player games. Once a link between two individuals has formed, the productivity of this link is evaluated. Links can be broken off at different rates. We provide analytic results for the limiting cases where linking dynamics is much faster than evolutionary dynamics and vice-versa, and show how the individual capacity of forming new links or severing inconvenient ones maps into the problem of strategy evolution in a well-mixed population under a different game. For intermediate ranges, we investigate numerically the detailed interplay determined by these two time-scales and show that the scope of validity of the analytical results extends to a much wider ratio of time scales than expected.

The study compared 55 siblings of mentally retarded children with 55 matched .siblings of non retarded children. The participants' assessment instrument was the Culture free Self-esteem Inventory for Children (Form B). Results indicated that siblings of handicapped children are comparable to siblings of non handicapped children in self-esteem. Gender and birth order did not prove to be significant individual difference factors in the group of siblings of mentally retarded children. However, of significant importance were the birth-order-by-sex interactions and the age gap between handicapped and

description: We study dark soliton solutions of a multi-component Gross--Pitaevskii equation for hyperfine spin F=1 spinor Bose--Einstein condensate. The interactions are supposed to be inter-atomic repulsive and anti-ferromagnetic ones of equal magnitude. The solutions are obtained from those of an integrable $2\times 2$ matrix nonlinear Schrödinger equation with nonvanishing boundary conditions. We investigate the one-soliton and two-soliton solutions in detail. One-soliton is classified into two kinds. The ferromagnetic state has wavefunctions of domain-wall shape and its total spin is nonzero. The polar state provides a hole soliton and its total spin is zero. These two states are selected by choosing the type of the boundary conditions. In two-soliton collisions, we observe the spin-mixing or spin-transfer. It is found that, as "magnetic" carriers, solitons in the ferromagnetic state are operative for the spin-mixing while those in the polar are passive.

description: The article gives an overview of secondary education evaluation systems in eleven" European countries along several dimensions, such as the existence or not of evaluation in the first place, the criteria used for evaluating an education system, who evaluates, and the consequences of the evaluation. It is found that systems vary widely in their approach to evaluation, ranging from practically non-evaluation (Greece) to England's and the Netherlands' highly decentralized system. In spite of the diversity, the general trend over the years has been towards passing the evaluation from the hands of central government to local authorities, and ultimately to the parents. Also, the evaluation results are being used to determine teachers' salaries.

description: Σε αυτή την εργασία, γίνεται εξέταση και σύγκριση διάφορων σχεδιάσεων του κυττάρου 6Τ SRAM σε φυσικό επίπεδο (layout). Η σύγκριση περιλαμβάνει τέσσερα συμβατικά κύτταρα, συν το “λεπτό” κύτταρο (thin cell) που κυριαρχεί στη βιομηχανία τα τελευταία χρόνια, καθώς και έναν νέο τύπο κυττάρου που προτάθηκε πρόσφατα, το “εξαιρετικά λεπτό” κύτταρο (ultra-thin cell). Τα layouts των κυττάρων και των αντίστοιχων συστοιχιών μνήμης που κατασκευάζονται από αυτά υλοποιούνται με διαδικασία CMOS n-πηγαδιού σε τεχνολογία 22 nm με τρια επίπεδα μετάλλου. Τα κυκλώματα που προκύπτουν συγκρίνονται ως προς την επιφάνεια, την κατασκευαστικότητα και την απόδοση σε καθυστέρηση και κατανάλωση ισχύος, με την εκτέλεση κατάλληλων προσομοιώσεων με μοντέλο επιπέδου BSIM4. Το λεπτό κύτταρο παρουσιάζει τα καλύτερα αποτελέσματα στην επιφάνεια και στην απόδοση, ενώ το εξαιρετικά λεπτό κύτταρο παρέχει βελτιωμένη κατασκευαστικότητα με σημαντικό κόστος σε επιφάνεια και κατανάλωση.
description: Different layout variations of the SRAM 6T circuit are examined and compared. The comparison includes four conventional cells, plus a thin cell commonly used in industry and a recently proposed ultra-thin cell. The layouts of the cells are presented and corresponding memory arrays are implemented at a CMOS n-well process using 22 nm, 3-metal technology. The obtained designs are compared in terms of area, manufacturability and power/delay performance, using proper BSIM4 level simulations. The thin cell presents the best results regarding both area efficiency and performance, while the ultra-thin cell presents improved manufacturability with a significant penalty in area and power dissipation.

description: We present results from our 830 ksec observation of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae with the Chandra X-ray Observatory's High Resolution Camera-S. We limit our analysis here to the 19 previously known, localized millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in the cluster. This work more than doubles the sample of X-ray-detected MSPs observed with sensitivity to rotational variability; it is also the first survey of a large group of radio-discovered MSPs for which no previous X-ray pulsations have been detected and is therefore an unbiased survey of the X-ray properties of radio-discovered MSPs. We find that only 47 Tuc D, O and R show significant pulsations at the >~ 4-sigma level, but there is statistical evidence for rotational variability in five additional MSPs. Furthermore, we constrain the pulsed magnetospheric emission of 7 more MSPs using Monte Carlo simulations. The result is that the majority of the 47 Tuc MSPs are characterized by low pulsed fractions,

description: The main subject of this thesis is the inventory management in the commercial business Biomarket Kampos S.A. To begin with, two of the company’s most important products were selected, by using the abc analysis method. Then, the behavior of each product’s demand was studied and demand forecasts for each product for the upcoming year were created. Thereafter, each product’s existing inventory management system was analyzed and, after reviewing all the available data and external factors, new systems were proposed. Finally, a simulation of the proposed management system was created, which shows how would several critical for the system variables alter, concluding to whether the above solution is ultimately profitable or not.
