description: Σκοπός της παρούσας διατριβής ήταν να προσαρμοσθεί το ερωτηματολόγιο λειτουργικής αστάθειας της ποδοκνημικής για χρήση στην ελληνική γλώσσα και πραγματικότητα. Για να πραγματοποιηθεί αυτό χρησιμοποιήθηκε το test IdFAI το οποίο μετράει τη λειτουργική αστάθεια της ποδοκνημικής (έκδοση1.0).Η αγγλική έκδοση του IdFAI προσαρμόστηκε διαπολιτισμικά στα ελληνικά βάσει των οδηγιών. Οι ψυχομετρικές ιδιότητες στην ελληνική έκδοση του IdFAI μετρήθηκαν για την αξιοπιστία εξέτασης-επανεξέτασης, την εσωτερική συνοχή, την εγκυρότητα του κριτηρίου, τη διακριτική ισχύ και το σφάλμα μέτρησης σε 112 άτομα στην Ελλάδα. Οι συντελεστές συσχέτισης μεταξύ κατηγοριών (ICC2,1) μεταξύ της αγγλικής και της ελληνικής εκδοχής του IdFAI για δοκιμή-επανεξέταση αξιοπιστία ήταν 0.99. Ο συντελεστής alpha του Cronbach ήταν 0.727 για τις ελληνικές εκδόσεις IdFAI. Η ελληνική έκδοση του IdFAI έχει αποδειχθεί ότι αποτελεί ένα εξαιρετικό, αξιόπιστο και έγκυρο μέσο, το οποίο μπορεί να αξιοποιηθεί για να εκτιμηθεί η παρουσία της χρόνιας αστάθειας της ποδοκνημικής από ερευνητές και κλινικούς γιατρούς που εργάζονται σε ελληνόφωνους πληθυσμούς.
description: Purpose: To cross-culturally adapt the Identification Functional Ankle Instability for use with Greek-speaking participants. Methods: The English version of the IdFAI was cross-culturally adapted into Greek based on the guidelines. The psychometric properties in the Greek version of the IdFAI were measured for test-retest reliability, internal consistency, criterion-related validity, discriminative validity, and measurement error 112 native Greek-speakers. Results: Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICC2,1) between the English and Greek versions of the IdFAI for test-retest reliability was 0.99. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.727 for the Greek versions of IdFAI. Conclusion: The Identification of Functional Ankle Instability Tool (IdFAI) has been validated and recommended to identify patients with Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI). The Greek versions of the IdFAI have shown to be an excellent, reliable, and valid instrument. The Greek versions of the IdFAI can be recommended for use by researchers and clinicians working among Greek -speaking populations to assess the presence of Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI).
Twisting, Stretching, and Bending: A Case for Flexibility in Today’s Model of Mathematics Education

description: Modern mathematics education literature shows a continual mention of, and often a response to, the “traditional” way of teaching the subject (Wood, 2001, 110). This method of teaching mathematics is aptly dubbed “mathematics from above” by El-Kafafi, who describes it as learning “through reception of information, absorption of facts and reproduction” (Siham El-Kafafi, 2011, 45). Hence, teachers are viewed “as experts in the field whose job is to transmit those facts to the students … through the rote-learning method” (Siham El-Kafafi, 2011, 45). This is often the method that people think of and refer to when criticism is given for mathematics education. Our more contemporary position on numeracy education, or as El-Kafafi calls “mathematics from below,” sees learners “using and understanding mathematics to make sense of the real world and acknowledging numeracy as a social activity,” which is a much more student-centered, progressivist, and constructivist approach (Henson, 2010, 4 and 109; Siham El-Kafafi, 2011, 46). While many members of the public would disagree, I would argue that our current model of mathematics education is one of “mathematics from below.” This view is justified by the large amount of research that has been done in the last thirty years in education in general (Henson, 2010, 130), and specifically in the last twenty to devise and execute many context-based mathematics curricula driven by higher order thinking that are currently in practice in many parts of North America (Meyer, Dekker, & Querelle, 2001, 522). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the ways our current model of mathematics education meets, and does not meet, the needs of our students.

description: We consider static black holes in Einstein gravity and study parameters characterizing the black hole size, namely the radii of the horizon $R_+$, photon sphere $R_{\rm ph}$ and black hole shadow $R_{\rm sh}$. We find a sequence of inequalities $\frac32 R_+\, \le\, R_{\rm ph}\, \le \,\frac{1}{\sqrt3} R_{\rm sh}\,\le\, 3 M$, where $M$ is the black hole mass. These are consistent with and beyond the previously known upper bounds in literature. The Schwarzschild black hole saturates all the inequalities, making it the biggest of all for given mass. The inequalities include an upper bound of entropy for any quantum system with given energy. We also point out that some black holes satisfying the dominant energy condition can trap photons to form a stable photon shield outside the event horizon, but the shadow hides it from an observer at infinity.

description: Predictions are made for the momentum- and carrier-dependent degradation of the Mott gap upon doping in high-Tc cuprates as would be observed in Cu K-edge resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS). The two-dimensional Hubbard model with second- and third-nearest-neighbor hopping terms has been studied by numerical exact diagonalization. Special emphasis is placed on the particle-hole asymmetry of the Mott gap excitations. We argue that the Mott gap excitations observed by RIXS are significantly influenced by the interaction between charge carriers and antiferromagnetic correlations.

description: This is the second in a series of papers studying the relationship between Rohlin's theorem and gauge theory. We discuss an invariant of a homology S^1 cross S^3 defined by Furuta and Ohta as an analogue of Casson's invariant for homology 3-spheres. Our main result is a calculation of the Furuta-Ohta invariant for the mapping torus of a finite-order diffeomorphism of a homology sphere. The answer is the equivariant Casson invariant (Collin-Saveliev 2001) if the action has fixed points, and a version of the Boyer-Nicas (1990) invariant if the action is free. We deduce, for finite-order mapping tori, the conjecture of Furuta and Ohta that their invariant reduces mod 2 to the Rohlin invariant of a manifold carrying a generator of the third homology group. Under some transversality assumptions, we show that the Furuta-Ohta invariant coincides with the Lefschetz number of the action on Floer homology. Comparing our two answers yields an example of a diffeomorphism acting trivially on the representation variety but non-trivially on Floer homology.

description: The upcoming launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will dramatically increase our understanding of exoplanets, particularly through direct imaging. Microlensing and radial velocity surveys indicate that some M-dwarfs host long period giant planets. Some of these planets will likely be just a few parsecs away and a few AU from their host stars, a parameter space that cannot be probed by existing high-contrast imagers. We studied whether the coronagraphs on the Mid-Infrared Instrument on JWST can detect Jovian-type planets around nearby M-dwarfs. For a sample of 27 very nearby M-dwarfs, we simulated a sample of Saturn--Jupiter-mass planets with three atmospheric configurations, three orbital separations, observed in three different filters. We found that the f1550c $15.5μ$m filter is best suited for detecting Jupiter-like planets. Jupiter-like planets with patchy cloud cover, 2 AU from their star, are detectable at $15.5μ$m around 14 stars in our sample, while Jupiters with clearer atmospheres are detectable around all stars in the sample. Saturns were most detectable at 10.65 and $11.4μ$m (f1065c and f1140c filters), but only with cloud-free atmospheres and within 3 pc (6 stars). Surveying all 27 stars would take $<170$ hours of JWST integration time, or just a few hours for a shorter survey of the most favorable targets. There is one potentially detectable known planet in our sample -- GJ~832~b. Observations aimed at detecting this planet should occur in 2024--2026, when the planet is maximally separated from the star.

Πρόκειται για δύο σχεδόν άρτια σωζόμενα ξυλόγλυπτα σύνολα που σχηματίζουν τριμερή καθ’ ύψος διάρθρωση και είναι εκτελεσμένα σε πρόστυπη τεχνική. Από τη διεξοδική εξέταση της τυπολογίας, του διακόσμου και της τεχνικής των δύο τέμπλων εκτιμούμε ότι πρόκειται για σύνολα που πιθανώς προέρχονται από το ίδιο καλλιτεχνικό εργαστήριο, καθώς παρουσιάζουν κοινά μορφολογικά και τεχνοτροπικά χαρακτηριστικά. Τα δύο τέμπλα της μονής, αν και δεν φέρουν απόλυτα χρονολογημένες επιγραφές, μπορούμε με βάση τη συγκριτική μεθοδολογία και λαμβάνοντας υπόψη έμμεσες πληροφορίες να τα χρονολογήσουμε στις αρχές του β΄ μισού του 17ου αι., σχεδόν μαζί με την τοιχογράφηση των δύο ναών. Εξετάζοντας και συγκρίνοντας τα δύο τέμπλα της μονής Παναγίας Πελεκητής με ξυλόγλυπτα σύνολα της περιοχής των Αγράφων αλλά και με τέμπλα της ευρύτερης γεωγραφικής ενότητας διαπιστώσαμε ότι παρουσιάζουν ομοιότητες ως προς τη διάρθρωση, την τεχνική εκτέλεση και το διάκοσμο. Τα κοινά τυπολογικά και μορφολογικά γνωρίσματα μας επιτρέπουν να αποδώσουμε ένα σημαντικό αριθμό ξυλόγλυπτων τέμπλων σε τοπικό συνεργείο ξυλογλυπτικής που έδρασε κατά τον 17ο αιώνα στην περιοχή των Αγράφων.
description: The present study looks into the wood-carved iconostases in low relief which adorn the Katholikon and the chapel (parekklision) of Panagia Pelekiti monastery, which is one of the most significant post-Byzantine monuments, situated in the mountain range of Agrafa in Western Thessaly. The typology of these two perfectly preserved iconostases of Panagia Pelekiti monastery consist of three main structural parts composing the typical structure in height –wise. The two iconostases are carved in low-relief technique, gilted on red or blue background. The common typological characteristics and the similarities of technique and decoration of the two wood-carved iconostases of Panagia Pelekiti monastery confirm that both were probably made by the same craftsmen, dated to the middle of 17th century. Furthermore, comparing the structure, morphological and stylistic features with ensembles from the area of Agrafa and the region of Western Thessaly we assume that a numerous of wood-carved iconostases is related with the activity of a local workshop during the 17th century. It seems that the area of Agrafa constituted an important artistic center due to the privileges, the social-political conditions and economic development after the Treaty of Tamassi (1525).

description: For a clustered graph, i.e, a graph whose vertex set is recursively partitioned into clusters, the C-Planarity Testing problem asks whether it is possible to find a planar embedding of the graph and a representation of each cluster as a region homeomorphic to a closed disk such that 1. the subgraph induced by each cluster is drawn in the interior of the corresponding disk, 2. each edge intersects any disk at most once, and 3. the nesting between clusters is reflected by the representation, i.e., child clusters are properly contained in their parent cluster. The computational complexity of this problem, whose study has been central to the theory of graph visualization since its introduction in 1995 [Qing-Wen Feng, Robert F. Cohen, and Peter Eades. Planarity for clustered graphs. ESA'95], has only been recently settled [Radoslav Fulek and Csaba D. Tóth. Atomic Embeddability, Clustered Planarity, and Thickenability. To appear at SODA'20]. Before such a breakthrough, the complexity question was still unsolved even when the graph has a prescribed planar embedding, i.e, for embedded clustered graphs. We show that the C-Planarity Testing problem admits a single-exponential single-parameter FPT algorithm for embedded clustered graphs, when parameterized by the carving-width of the dual graph of the input. This is the first FPT algorithm for this long-standing open problem with respect to a single notable graph-width parameter. Moreover, in the general case, the polynomial dependency of our FPT algorithm is smaller than the one of the algorithm by Fulek and Tóth. To further strengthen the relevance of this result, we show that the C-Planarity Testing problem retains its computational complexity when parameterized by several other graph-width parameters, which may potentially lead to faster algorithms.

description: The most destructive foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in Korea occurred in November 2010. Various studies have quantified the economic impact of culling affected animals, mostly swine, from the event by applying different assumptions to the Input-Output (IO) model. The present study takes into account a type of implicit cost, considering the types of effects in the previous literature, as well as costs that have been unaccounted for in prior studies. A seasonal autoregressive model (SARIMA) is estimated employing the number of swine slaughtered leading up to the 2010 FMD outbreak, and forecasts from the model are compared to the actual drop and rebound. The unaccounted implicit cost is estimated to be more than 2 trillion Korean Won (≈ 1.8 billion US dollars), which is a cost Korea must give up or cannot recover. This study serves to strengthen the justification of applying preventive efforts to reduce the likelihood and economic impact of an animal disease outbreak and may be applied in other countries.

description: Little is known about the properties of the accretion flows and jets of the lowest-luminosity quiescent black holes. We report new, strictly simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the nearby stellar-mass black hole X-ray binary GS 2000+25 in its quiescent state. In deep Chandra observations we detect the system at a faint X-ray luminosity of $L_X = 1.1^{+1.0}_{-0.7} \times 10^{30}\,(d/2 {\rm \,\, kpc})^2$ erg s$^{-1}$ (1-10 keV). This is the lowest X-ray luminosity yet observed for a quiescent black hole X-ray binary, corresponding to an Eddington ratio $L_X/L_{\rm Edd} \sim 10^{-9}$. In 15 hours of observations with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, no radio continuum emission is detected to a $3σ$ limit of $< 2.8\ μ$Jy at 6 GHz. Including GS 2000+25, four quiescent stellar-mass black holes with $L_X < 10^{32}$ erg s$^{-1}$ have deep simultaneous radio and X-ray observations and known distances. These sources all have radio to X-ray luminosity ratios generally consistent with, but slightly lower than, the low state radio/X-ray correlation for stellar-mass black holes with $L_X > 10^{32}$ erg s$^{-1}$. Observations of these sources tax the limits of our current X-ray and radio facilities, and new routes to black hole discovery are needed to study the lowest-luminosity black holes.

description: Ray tracing accelerated with graphics processing units (GPUs) is an increasingly popular technique for accurate and efficient simulation of wireless communication channels. In this thesis, we extend the GPU-accelerated Ray Tracer from the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology to support the effects of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), a modern technology aimed at solving propagation issues in the higher frequency bands of sixth- generation cellular networks (6G).The AIT Ray Tracer implements a two-stage hybrid ray tracing method to simulate the propagation of electromagnetic waves in complex environments. We propose an approach for integrating RISs into the Ray Tracer by launching rays toward the individual RIS patch antenna elements. The electric field of the rays is manipulated and reflected upon intersection with the RIS. To evaluate the electric field, we derived a compartmentalized RIS path loss model. The flexibility of our model is easily integrated into the Ray Tracer and enables further extensions for the implementation of additional features and incorporation into more complex scenarios.Through a comparison with measurements and an empirically established numerical model, we verified the derivation and implementation of our model. In addition, we demonstrated the capabilities of our compartmentalized model by extending the Ray Tracer to support higher-order reflections from the RIS to the receiver. We found that such components had a significant effect on the received signal strength, concluding that the extensions of advanced functionality enabled by our model play an important role in the accurate modeling of reconfigurable intelligent surfaces.

description: State-of-the-art drone technologies have severe flight time limitations due to weight constraints, which inevitably lead to a relatively small amount of available energy. Therefore, frequent battery replacement or recharging is necessary in applications such as delivery, exploration, or support to the wireless infrastructure. Mobile charging stations (i.e., mobile stations with charging equipment) for outdoor ad-hoc battery charging is one of the feasible solutions to address this issue. However, the ability of these platforms to charge the drones is limited in terms of the number and charging time. This paper designs an auction-based mechanism to control the charging schedule in multi-drone setting. In this paper, charging time slots are auctioned, and their assignment is determined by a bidding process. The main challenge in developing this framework is the lack of prior knowledge on the distribution of the number of drones participating in the auction. Based on optimal second-price-auction, the proposed formulation, then, relies on deep learning algorithms to learn such distribution online. Numerical results from extensive simulations show that the proposed deep learning-based approach provides effective battery charging control in multi-drone scenarios.

description: QCD exhibits complex dynamics near S-wave two-body thresholds. For light mesons, we see this in the failure of quark models to explain the $f_0(500)$ and $K_0^*(700)$ masses. For charmonium, an unexpected $X(3872)$ state appears at the open charm threshold. In heavy-light systems, analogous threshold effects appear for the lowest $J^P = 0^+$ and $1^+$ states in the $D_s$ and $B_s$ systems. Here we describe how lattice QCD can be used to understand these threshold dynamics by smoothly varying the strange-quark mass when studying the heavy-light systems. Small perturbations around the physical strange quark mass are used so to always remain near the physical QCD dynamics. This calculation is a straightforward extension of those already in the literature and can be undertaken by multiple lattice QCD collaborations with minimal computational cost.

description: It is very often observed that people who suffer from dementia face disorders in food and fluid intake, which are linked to the severity and the stage of dementia they are in. Chewing, swallowing, nourishment and hydration become difficult and deficient. The natural procedure of nutrition is per os using a typical way of preparing meals. However, in many cases the patients are unable to consume their food in this texture and the caregivers prepare mashed or semi-mashed meals which are swallowed by the patients more easily. Another way of dealing with the problem are the non-intervening techniques, which involve calorie and protein enrichment of the food and / or enriched food supplements with special texture and composure suitable for easy swallowing. Finally, there a different way of enteral nutrition like nasogastric tubes and gastrostomies. Also, in extreme cases parenteral nutrition can be applied exclusively or in combination with a catheter of enteral nutrition but it is rarely combined with per os nutrition. The current study observes the above-mentioned ways of nutrition and their relation to the survival of the patients suffering from severe dementia. The research question is ‘Which are the practical ways of dealing with malnutrition of patients suffering from severe and final stage dementia at home? At what extend were these practices used and what were their results to the patients of Thessaloniki Prefecture during the 2015-2019 period. It appears that the majority of patients suffering from dementia are nourished per os until the end of their life without using nutritional supplements. Nevertheless, the research data results of the present study indicate that in the case of enteral nutrition through nasogastric tube and gastrostomy the patients’ life expectancy is dramatically increased. However, the ethical dilemmas that arise in relation to the quality of life of the people suffering from severe dementia who are in enteral and/or parenteral nutrition are many and need to be studied even further.

description: In an alternative mechanism recently proposed, adiabatic cosmological perturbations are generated at the decay of the inflaton field due to small fluctuations of its coupling to matter. This happens whenever the coupling is governed by the vacuum expectation value of another field, which acquires fluctuations during inflation. We discuss generalization and various possible implementations of this mechansim, and present some specific particle physics examples. In many cases the second field can start oscillating before perturbations are imprinted, or survive long enough so to dominate over the decay products of the inflaton. The primordial perturbations will then be modified accordingly in each case.

description: The Food Stamp Act of 1977 will expire September 30, and several policy issues will be addressed during congressional debate on reauthorization of the Food Stamp Program (FSP). Options such as restoring the cash purchase requirement or providing assistance in cash rather than food coupons may be considered, along with minor provision adjustments. Several provisions were implemented in the FSP in 1980 to limit costs (see NFR-11, Summer 1980). With continued emphasis on controlling the growth of the Federal budget, the cost of various food stamp policy options will be a primary consideration during debate on reauthorization of the FSP. Another key issue is the amount of flexibility that food stamp participants should have in food purchases.

description: The subject of this diploma thesis is the design and implementation of a non-linear predictive controller for the energy control and management of an autonomous RES microgrid. Firstly, the structure of the microgrid, that motivated the construction of the predictive controller, is presented, along with the energy management strategy that is applied to it. Then the mathematical models of the subsystems contained in the structure of the microgrid are developed and verified. Based on these models and the applied energy management strategy, a mathematical model which describes the operation of the microgrid nodes is developed and used in the non-linear predictive controller. Follows the definition of the optimal control problem to be solved, by appropriately selecting the manipulated and controlled variables, the development of the objective function, and the selection of the constrains to be imposed in the solution of the optimization problem. Afterwards, three microgrid operation cases are developed in which the predictive controller is applied. The case study results, confirm the ability of the controller to achieve the desired behavior of the microgrid, to implement optimal management and energy exploitation and finally to create a virtual central energy storage in the microgrid

Carbon credits for cookstoves: trade-offs in climate and health benefits

Publisher: name: The Forestry Chronicle
Year: 2013

description: Cookstove projects have long been considered “win–win” development projects based on the multitude of benefits they can create. Carbon credits provide a new financing mechanism to fund such cookstove projects, but have been criticized as not always successfully meeting sustainable development goals. By drawing on previous literature this article critically looks at trade-offs between the maximization of climate and health benefits of cookstove projects in the context of carbon credits. It finds that carbon credits inherently account for climate benefits, but not for health. Therefore, clear objectives of cookstove interventions need to be defined prior to project implementation to insure the maximization of benefits in projects’ priority areas.

description: Recently, a new strategy to the reconstruction of $f(R)$-gravity models based on the Raychaudhuri equation has been suggested by Choudhury et al. In this paper, utilizing this method, the reconstruction of anisotropic Einstein-Maxwell equation in the $1+3$ covariant formalism of $f(R)$-gravity is investigated in four modes: $i.$ Reconstruction from a negative constant deceleration parameter refereeing to an ever-accelerating universe; $ii.$ Reconstruction from a constant jerk parameter $j=1$ which recovers celebrated $Λ\text{CDM}$ mode of evolution; $iii.$ Reconstruction from a variable jerk parameter $j=Q(t)$; and $iv.$ Reconstruction from a slowly varying jerk parameter. Furthermore, two suggestions for enhancing the method are proposed.

description: Within the time dependent Ginzburg-Landau theory, the effects of the superconducting fluctuations on the transport properties above the critical temperature are characterized by a non-zero imaginary part of the relaxation rate gamma of the order parameter. Here, we evaluate Im gamma for an anisotropic dispersion relation typical of the high-Tc cuprate superconductors (HTS), characterized by a proximity to an electronic topological transition (ETT). We find that Im gamma abruptly changes sign at the ETT as a function of doping, in agreement with the universal behavior of the HTS. We also find that an increase of the in-plane anisotropy, as is given by a non-zero value of the next-nearest to nearest hopping ratio r=t'/t, increases the value of | Im gamma | close to the ETT, as well as its singular behavior at low temperature, therefore enhancing the effect of superconducting fluctuations. Such a result is in qualitative agreement with the available data for the excess Hall conductivity for several cuprates and cuprate superlattices.
