description: Στη διδασκαλία του Αγίου Γρηγορίου του Θεολόγου, όπως και σε ολόκληρη τη χριστιανική θεολογία, ο θάνατος αποδίδεται στην αμαρτία, η οποία απομακρύνει τον άνθρωπο από την πηγή της ζωής που είναι ο Θεός. Με τον θάνατο ο άνθρωπος πάυει να υπάρχει ως ολοκληρωμένη προσωπικότητα, όμως η αγάπη του Θεού δεν τον αφήνει να χαθεί εντελώς. Ετσι οι ψυχές των ανθρώπων μετά θάνατον υπάρχουν σε μια κατάσταση που ανάλογα με τις επιλογές που έκαναν όσο ζούσαν, απολαμβάνουν την παρουσία του Θεού ή αντίθετα νοιώθουν τύψεις και οδύνη. Στο τέλος της ιστορικής πορείας του κόσμου, με την ενσώματη ανάσταση των νεκρών και την μέλλουσα κρίση του Θεού, ο θάνατος θα καταργηθεί οριστικά. Τότε όσοι αγάπησαν το Θεό θα ζουν μέσα στο φως Του, ενώ οι αμαρτωλοί θα βιώνουν μια ατελεύτητη οδύνη.
description: According to St. Gregory the Τheologian's teaching as well as in the entire orthodox-christian theology, death is ascribed to the sin against heaven which keeps the man away from the source of life, which is God. As a result of death the man ceases to exist as an accomplished personality. However, God's love does not let him perish completely. The souls of the dead continue existing after death in a condition according to the choices they had made while in life. They enjoy the presence of God or they feel qualms of conscience and sorrow. In the end of the historical progress of the creation, together with the embodied ressurection of the dead and the prospective God's judgment, death will be abolished permanently. They those who love God will live in His Holy Light whereas the transgressors will experience an endless sorrow.

description: In this paper we are interested in moments of Minkowski question mark function ?(x). It appears that, to certain extent, the results are analogous to the results obtained for objects associated with Maass wave forms: period functions, L-series, distributions, spectral properties. These objects can be naturally defined for ?(x) as well. Despite the fact that there are various nice results about the nature of ?(x), these investigations are mainly motivated from the perspective of metric number theory, Hausdorff dimension, singularity and generalizations. In this work it is shown that analytic and spectral properties of various integral transforms of ?(x) do reveal significant information about the question mark function. We prove asymptotic and structural results about the moments, calculate certain integrals involving ?(x), define an associated zeta function, generating functions, Fourier series, and establish intrinsic relations among these objects. At the end of the paper it is shown that certain object associated with ?(x) establish a bridge between realms of imaginary and real quadratic irrationals.

Arbeitsmigration nach und aus Deutschland im Zuge der Finanzkrise in Südeuropa sowie der wirtschaftlichen Transformation und Erweiterung der EU in Osteuropa

Publisher: name: UB Tübingen

description: Richtungen und Intensitäten der aktuellen innereuropäischen Wanderungsbewegungen haben sich seit Verschärfung der EU-Finanz- und Staatsschuldenkrise 2011 spürbar verändert. Mehr Süd- und Südosteuropäer fliehen vor der in ihren Ländern aus konjunkturellen, aber auch aus strukturellen Gründen, vor allem unter Jugendlichen, steigenden Arbeitslosigkeit; sie machen in vielen Fällen erstmals von der Freizügigkeit in der EU Gebrauch. Zur Bewältigung der absehbaren ökonomischen und partiell auch demografischen Migrations- und Integrationsherausforderungen spielt die Konsistenz der Migrations- und Integrationspolitik mit anderen relevanten Politikbereichen, wie vorrangig der Arbeitsmarkt- und Sozialpolitik sowie der Bildungspolitik, nicht nur auf jeweils nationaler Ebene, sondern auch auf europäischer Ebene eine wichtige Rolle. Sie ist auch eine notwendige Voraussetzung für eine durchgängige Anerkennungs- und Willkommenskultur gegenüber Migranten in der Union.

 Directions and intensities of the most recent intra-european migration flows have been changed significantly since 2011 in the course of the European financial and sovereign debt crisis. More people from the (east-)southern EU-member states are fleeing/moving from their countries due to the rising youth-unemployment to the north and west; they are using – in many cases for the first time – the free movement of people within the Union, the foremost fundamental achievement of the EU. Coping with the looming economic and demographic challenges the consistence of the migration and integration policy with other policy areas, foremost the labor market and social policy and additionally the educational and vocational policy, is indispensible. This holds true not only on the national level but also on the European level. It is also a necessary prerequisite for an entrenched recognition- and welcome-culture towards ethnic minorities within the European Union.

description: The model of pulsar radio emission is discussed in which a coherent radio emis-sion is excited in a vacuum gap above polar cap of neutron star. Pulsar X and gamma radiation are considered as the result of low-frequency radio emission inverse Comp-ton scattering on ultra relativistic electrons accelerated in the gap. The influence of the pulsar magnetic field on Compton scattering is taken into account. The relation of radio and gamma radiation spectra has been found in the framework of the model.

description: Despite its importance, the understanding of ionic cloud distribution close to a charged macroion under physiological salt conditions has remained very limited especially for strongly coupled systems with, for instance, multivalent counterions. Here we present a formalism that predicts both counterion and coion distributions in the vicinity of a charged macroion for an arbitrary amount of added salt and in both limits of mean field and strong coupling. The distribution functions are calculated explicitly for ions next to an infinite planar charged wall. We present a schematic phase diagram identifying different physical regimes in terms of electrostatic coupling parameter and bulk salt concentration.

Σε 152 δείγματα βρέθηκαν ίχνη φθορίου (<0,1mg/lt), σε 16 υπολογίσιμη ποσότητα (0,2-0,3 mg/lt) και σε 5 (ice tea) υψηλή (1-1,3 mg/lt). Οι χαμηλότερες τιμές pH (μ.ο.±sd) βρέθηκαν στα αναψυκτικά (2,93±0,36) και τα ice tea (3,21±0,18). Παρόμοιο pH είχαν οι χυμοί (3,47±0,34) και ταενεργειακά ποτά (3,49±0,25), ενώ τα αεριούχα εμφιαλωμένα νερά είχαν τουψηλότερο (5,36±0,25). Η μελέτη των αναγραφόμενων στοιχείων έδειξε ότι τοκιτρικό οξύ αποτελούσε το κυρίαρχο μέσο οξίνισης και το κιτρικό νάτριο τοσυνηθέστερο ρυθμιστικό σύστημα οξύτητας.Συμπερασματικά, εντοπίστηκαν προϊόντα που η κατάχρησή τους ελλοχεύειτον κίνδυνο ήπιας φθορίασης (παιδιά <7ετών) και κυρίως διάβρωσης τωνδοντιών.

description: The purpose of the study was to measure floride concentration and acidity (pH) of fruit juices, ice tea, sport drinks, soft drinks and bottled water in Greece. 229 samples of products were analysed. In 152 products there were troues of fruoride (<0,1 mg/lt), in 16 we found 0,2-0,3 mg/lt and in 5 products (ice tea) fruoride concentration was high (1-1,3 mg/lt). The lowest pH values were found in carbonated soft drinks. Fruit juices, ice tea and sport drinks had similar, also low, pH values. In conclusion, this study revealed that some products are potentially dangerous as regards dental health (dental fluorosis and dental erosion). The dental community has the duty to alert dental patients.

description: We present local and non-local electron transport measurements on individual multi-wall nanotubes for bias voltage between 0 and about 4 V. Local current-voltage characteristics are quite linear. In contrast, non-local measurements are highly non-linear; the differential non-local conductance can even become negative in the high-bias regime. We discuss the relationship between these results and transport parameters such as the elastic length, the number of current carrying shells, and the number of conducting modes.

description: The human body is punctuated with wide array of sensory systems that provide a high evolutionary advantage by facilitating formation of a detailed picture of the immediate surroundings. The sensors range across a wide spectrum, acquiring input from non-contact audio-visual means to contact based input via pressure and temperature. The ambit of sensing can be extended further by imparting the body with increased non-contact sensing capability through the phenomenon of electrostatics. Here we present graphene-based tattoo sensor for proximity sensing, employing the principle of electrostatic gating. The sensor shows a remarkable change in resistance upon exposure to objects surrounded with static charge on them. Compared to prior work in this field, the sensor has demonstrated the highest recorded proximity detection range of 20 cm. It is ultra-thin, highly skin conformal and comes with a facile transfer process such that it can be tattooed on highly curvilinear rough substrates like the human skin, unlike other graphene-based proximity sensors reported before. Present work details the operation of wearable proximity sensor while exploring the effect of mounting body on the working mechanism. A possible role of the sensor as an alerting system against unwarranted contact with objects in public places especially during the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has also been explored in the form of an LED bracelet whose color is controlled by the proximity sensor attached to it.

description: The high speed of light in vacuo together with the weakness of Earth gravity rules out any experimental detection of gravitational deflection of light on the laboratory length scale. Recent advances in coherent optics that produce ultra slow light in highly dispersive media with the group velocities down to ~102 ms-1, or even less, however, open up this possibility. In this work, we present a theoretical study for a possible laboratory observation of the deflection of such an ultra slow light in the highly dispersive medium under Earth gravity. Our general relativistic calculation is based on the Gordon optical metric modified so as to include dispersion. The calculated linear vertical deflection turns out to be ~0.1 mm for a horizontal traversal of 0.1 m, and a group speed vg ~ 102 ms-1. Experimental realizability and some conceptual points involved will be briefly discussed.

description: Σκοπός: Η αρτηριοφλεβική αναστόμωση αποτελεί τη μόνιμη μορφή αγγειακής προσπέλασης στους αιμοκαθαιρόμενους ασθενείς. Ο σκοπός της εργασίας ήταν η διαφοροδιάγνωση μεταξύ λειτουργούσας και μη-λειτουργούσας fistula μέσω της ανάλυσης του καταγραφόμενου φυσήματος, με τη βοήθεια αυτοματοποιημένης μεθόδου.Υλικό/Μέθοδος: Χρησιμοποιήθηκε ένα ηλεκτρονικό στηθοσκόπιο συνδεδεμένο με ένα φορητό ηλεκτρονικό υπολογιστή. Σαράντα αιμοκαθαιρόμενοι ασθενείς συμμετείχαν στη μελέτη, 20 είχαν λειτουργούσες και 20 μη-λειτουργούσες αναστομώσεις. Ο ρυθμός δειγματοληψίας ήταν 48 kHz. Για την ανάλυση χρησιμοποιήθηκε ο μετασχηματισμός Fourier (Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT)), οι συχνότητες που προέκυψαν διαιρέθηκαν σε 40 διαστήματα των 250 Hz. Δεκαπέντε από τις λειτουργούσες και 15 από τις μη λειτουργούσες χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για την εκπαίδευση ενός νευρωνικού δικτύου και οι υπόλοιπες 10 για τον έλεγχο του.Αποτελέσματα: Οι μέσες συχνότητες που προέκυψαν από την ανάλυση FFT ήταν σημαντικά υψηλότερες στις λειτουργούσες αναστομώσεις (p<0.00001). Ενώ και το νευρωνικό δίκτυο ταξινόμησε σωστά όλες τις αναστομώσεις που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν για τον έλεγχο του (p<0.0001). Συμπεράσματα: αποδείχθηκε με επιτυχία η ικανότητα διάκρισης μεταξύ λειτουργούσας και μη λειτουργούσας αρτηριοφλεβικής αναστόμωσης με τη βοήθεια ανάλυσης ήχου.
description: Purpose: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) represents a permanent vascular access in end stage renal disease patients (ESRD). The purpose of our study was to distinguish functioning from nonfunctioning fistulas based on the produced bruit from blood circulation, with the assist of a computerized method. Design/methodology/approach: An electronic stethoscope connected to a Lap top computer was used. Forty hemodialysis patients participated in the study. Twenty fistulas were functioning, while the rest were not. The bruit was recorded, sample rate was 48,000. Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) was used, Frequencies obtained were divided in 40 frequency intervals, 250Hz apart. These 20 components served as inputs to a feed-forward neural network. The network architecture consists of an input layer, a hidden layer and a single output neuron which provided a unique result regarding the functioning status of each fistula.Findings: Mean amplitudes of the frequency bands obtained with FFT algorithm were significantly higher in the functioning (p<0.00001). The neural network classified successfully all the fistulas used for evaluation (p<0.0001). Originality/value: This is the first attempt to discriminate functioning from non-functioning fistula with the use of an intelligent system based on neural networks.

description: Although the mistreatment of medical students is a well-researched topic, the scope of mistreatment often leaves out neglect, a subtype for which there is no accepted definition based in the published literature. This review sought to summarize the existing data on the prevalence and descriptors of neglect, identify strategies seen in the literature designed to improve it, and offer a synthesized definition of this phenomenon to guide future research. Following PRISMA guidelines, a relevant systematic literature search from 2000 to April 2021 was performed to identify literature on neglect in clinical settings within American medical schools. Neglect, a poorly defined phenomenon in medical education related to the suboptimal learning environment, is often excluded from research on medical student mistreatment. Neglect is a barrier to a successful learning environment, yet a paucity of data and the heterogeneous nature of the present literature render it difficult to estimate its true prevalence. Studies that include neglect frequently assess it solely as the result of identity discrimination or stated career interests. Recent interventions include promoting longitudinal relationships between students and clinical faculty and establishing teaching expectations. Neglect is the mistreatment of medical students by the medical care team via a lack of meaningful inclusion in the clinical environment such that it has a notable negative impact on learning and student well-being, regardless of intentionality. An established definition that is grounded in the literature is required to create a common point of reference and understand its true prevalence, its associated variables, and the best mitigation strategies, as well as to guide future research, which should examine neglect independently and as a consequence of personal and professional identities.

Learning Dual Semantic Relations with Graph Attention for Image-Text Matching

description: Image-Text Matching is one major task in cross-modal information processing. The main challenge is to learn the unified visual and textual representations. Previous methods that perform well on this task primarily focus on not only the alignment between region features in images and the corresponding words in sentences, but also the alignment between relations of regions and relational words. However, the lack of joint learning of regional features and global features will cause the regional features to lose contact with the global context, leading to the mismatch with those non-object words which have global meanings in some sentences. In this work, in order to alleviate this issue, it is necessary to enhance the relations between regions and the relations between regional and global concepts to obtain a more accurate visual representation so as to be better correlated to the corresponding text. Thus, a novel multi-level semantic relations enhancement approach named Dual Semantic Relations Attention Network(DSRAN) is proposed which mainly consists of two modules, separate semantic relations module and the joint semantic relations module. DSRAN performs graph attention in both modules respectively for region-level relations enhancement and regional-global relations enhancement at the same time. With these two modules, different hierarchies of semantic relations are learned simultaneously, thus promoting the image-text matching process by providing more information for the final visual representation. Quantitative experimental results have been performed on MS-COCO and Flickr30K and our method outperforms previous approaches by a large margin due to the effectiveness of the dual semantic relations learning scheme. Codes are available at https://github.com/kywen1119/DSRAN.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία γίνεται εκτίμηση της τρωτότητας των υπόγειων νερών του προσχωματικού υδροφορέα της λεκάνης Φλώρινας. Τα υπόγεια νερά της λεκάνης αυτής δέχονται μεγάλες πιέσεις, λόγω εντατικής γεωργίας και αλλαγών χρήσεων γης. Για την εκτίμηση της τρωτότητας στην εξωτερική ρύπανση, χρησιμοποιήθηκαν οι μέθοδοι Drastic, God και AVI σε περιβάλλον GIS. Οι μέθοδοι αυτοί εκτιμούν τον κίνδυνο προς ρύπανση των υπόγειων νερών ενός υδροφορέα από εξωτερικά ρυπαντικά φορτία, χρησιμοποιώντας υδρογεωλογικές, εδαφολογικές και υδραυλικές παραμέτρους. Με βάση τις τιμές των δεικτών Drastic, God και AVI κατασκευάσθηκαν οι χάρτες τρωτότητας, όπου διακρίνονται περιοχές πολύ χαμηλής, χαμηλής, μέσης, υψηλής και πολύ υψηλής τρωτότητας στη ρύπανση των υπόγειων νερών του υδροφορέα της λεκάνης Φλώρινας. Ο χάρτης τρωτότητας μπορεί να αποτελέσει πολύτιμο εργαλείο για τη χάραξη ζωνών προστασίας, το σχεδιασμό χρήσεων γης και τη διαχείριση των υδατικών πόρων.
description: This paper deals with the assessment of groundwater ulnerability in alluvial aquifer of Florina basin. Groundwater in this basin is under many pressures, due to extensive agriculture and land use changes. To assess the groundwater vulnerability to pollution, the well known DRASTIC, GOD and AVI methods in GIS environment was used. This method assess the pollution potential of groundwater using hydrogeological, soil and hydraulic parameters. Based on the values of the DRASTIC, GOD and AVI index, vulnerability maps was illustrated, showing areas with low, moderate and high vulnerability against to pollution. The higher sum values represent greater potential for groundwater pollution, or greater aquifer vulnerability is a useful tool for planning, groundwater resources management and protection zoning.

description: The problem of securing a network coding communication system against a wiretapper adversary is considered. The network implements linear network coding to deliver $n$ packets from source to each receiver, and the wiretapper can eavesdrop on $μ$ arbitrarily chosen links. A coding scheme is proposed that can achieve the maximum possible rate of $k=n-μ$ packets that are information-theoretically secure from the adversary. A distinctive feature of our scheme is that it is universal: it can be applied on top of any communication network without requiring knowledge of or any modifications on the underlying network code. In fact, even a randomized network code can be used. Our approach is based on Rouayheb-Soljanin's formulation of a wiretap network as a generalization of the Ozarow-Wyner wiretap channel of type II. Essentially, the linear MDS code in Ozarow-Wyner's coset coding scheme is replaced by a maximum-rank-distance code over an extension of the field in which linear network coding operations are performed.

description: Develop and assess a novel medical improvisation-based motivational interviewing (MI) curriculum for residents. A 6-h medical improv-based MI curriculum occurred in 2022 for internal medicine residents. A mixed-methods evaluation included: pre- and post-role plays using the Motivational Interviewing Treatment Integrity Score (MITI) to assess MI competency, a post-course survey assessing confidence, and focus groups to understand learning through improvisation. Participants increased their confidence in applying MI skills after the curriculum in responding to a patient’s argument against change (29% pre vs. 72% post, p < 0.001), eliciting change talk (21% vs. 86%, p < 0.001), and providing information in an MI-centric way (39% vs. 86%, p < 0.001). All role-play participants achieved at least beginning proficiency on MITI technical and relational global summary scores post-course. MI-adherent behaviors increased, and MI-non-adherent behaviors decreased in post-course role plays. Themes on learning through improvisation included: (1) improvisation can enhance the learning of MI skills, (2) using non-medical scenarios in improvisation exercises has benefits, and (3) trying improvisation had positive effects on the learning environment. A medical improvisation-based course is a promising, engaging way to teach residents MI skills and can improve competence and confidence with MI.

description: Quantum cascaded up-conversion (CUpC) of parametric down conversion (PDC) in a finite nonlinear $χ^{(2)}$-crystal is studied theoretically within parametric approximation. The exact solution for creation and annihilation operators presented in the form of Bogoliubov transformation is valid for the high-gain regime and explicitly includes the non-zero wavevector-mismatch both for the PDC and CUpC. With the use of characteristic equation parametric amplification and oscillating regimes are analysed for degenerate, three- and four-mode cases. We show that the parametric amplification exists under the fulfilment of the cascaded phase-matching conditions while both the PDC and CUpC processes are separately non-phase-matched. The influence of CUpC on quadrature squeezing of degenerate PDC is estimated.
Neoliberalismus und Postdemokratie: Bausteine einer kritischen Gesellschaftstheorie

description: Kaum ein anderes Konzept ist in den Sozialwissenschaften in den letzten Jahren
 so intensiv und kontrovers diskutiert worden wie die »Postdemokratie«. Dabei ist
 in der Literatur nach wie vor umstritten, welcher analytische Ertrag vor allem den
 Arbeiten von Colin Crouch zu diesem Thema innewohnt. Der vorliegende Artikel
 schließt an diese Kontroverse an und argumentiert, dass das Konzept der Post-
 demokratie einen relevanten Beitrag zum zeitgenössischen wissenschaftlichen
 Diskurs leisten kann, da es – ähnlich wie die kritischen Gesellschaftstheorien der
 1970er Jahre – dazu in der Lage ist, zahlreiche aktuelle theoretische und em-
 pirische Untersuchungen aus der Einstellungs- und Partizipationforschung in ein
 analytisches Konzept zu integrieren. Allerdings wird es ihm nur dann gelingen,
 diesen Wert zu entfalten, wenn die theoretischen Grundlagen des Postdemo-
 kratie-Konzeptes geklärt werden. Dazu, so argumentiert dieser Artikel, ist vor
 allem eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Neoliberalismus notwendig, der als der
 ideative Kern der Postdemokratie angesehen werden kann.

 «Post-Democracy» has been one of the most frequently and controversially
 discussed concepts of contemporary social sciences. Even today, almost ten years
 after the first publishing of Colin Crouch's famous essay, researchers are arguing
 about the concept's analytical value and empirical relevance. Our article comments
 on this discourse by stating, that post-democracy can be developed to a highly
 fruitful concept because it may manage to integrate some of today's most essential
 research on political opinions and political behavior. But to be able to do so it will
 have to take neoliberalism - which can be seen as the ideative core of post-
 democracy – more strongly into account than it has been done so far.

Demokratie im Umbruch? Ein protestantischer Kommentar im Anschluss an H.R. Niebuhr
Creators: name: Polke, Christian
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2015

description: Der Artikel beschäftigt sich mit der Frage nach der Zukunftsfähigkeit der Demo-
 kratie als politischer Regierungs- und Lebensform. Exemplarisch wird anhand der
 Ansätze von Postdemokratie (Crouch) und Liquid Democracy zunächst dafür plä-
 diert, dass sich die normative Grammatik und Struktur demokratischer Ordnungen
 im Kern nicht verändert hat. Vielmehr ist die mit diesen Positionen formulierte
 Kritik an gegenwärtigen Zuständen die Aufforderung an stärkere Berücksichti-
 gung veränderter Bedingungen in der Erarbeitung demokratischer Modelle und
 Konzeptionen. Wo darüber hinaus mit diesen Stichworten allerdings ein uto-
 pisches Potential, gar eine quasi-religiöse Verheißung jenseits politischer Reali-
 täten verbunden wird, ruft diese eine an der Ambivalenz der Sozialnatur des
 Menschen orientierte christliche Sozialethik auf den Plan.

 This article discusses the future of democracy as political order and societal ideal
 under current conditions of modern mass media and increasing economical lobbyism.
 «Post-Democracy» (Crouch) and «Liquid Democracy» positions challenge our conventional theories of democracy. But neither in their normative grammar nor in their
 general structure democracy understood as based on both, sovereignty of people
 and of law will deeply be challenged. Instead, Post-democracy and Liquid Democracy
 theorists and activists are more asking for reformation and accommodation of demo
 cratic institutions and structures to current societal conditions. Whereas they do that
 for utopian reasons of a community existing p.e. in absolute transparency of their
 members a social ethics of «Christian realism» has to remain critical.

description: Τα επιστρώματα NiCrBSi χρησιμοποιούνται ευρέως, λόγω της καλής ανθεκτικότητας τους στις υψηλές θερμοκρασίες σε συνδυασμό με το χαμηλό κόστος. Σε αυτήν την εργασία γίνεται μελέτη της ανάπτυξης και της οξείδωσης των επιστρωμάτων NiCrBSi στους χάλυβες χαμηλού άνθρακα,. Η ανάπτυξη της επίστρωσης πραγματοποιήθηκε μέσω της τεχνικής θερμου ψεκασμού (thermal spray) και pack cementation. Και στις δύο διαδικασίες χρησιμοποιήθηκε. NiCrBSi μεταλλική πούδρα. Η μικροδομή των επιστρωμάτων αναλύθηκε με την σαρωτική μικροσκοπία (SEM), και χαρακτηρίστηκε με τη βοήθεια περιθλασίμετρου ακτίνων Χ , με τη μέθοδο XRD. Η παρατήρηση των αποτελεσμάτων του πειράματος, αποκάλυψε ότι επιστρώματα thermal spray συνδέονται έναν ασθενή μηχανικό δεσμό με το υπόστρωμα σε αντίθεση με τη μέθοδο pack cementation, όπου τα επιστρώματα έχουν ισχυρό μηχανικό δεσμό με το υπόστρωμα λόγω φαινομένου διάχυσης. . Επίσης τα επιστρώματα thermal spray έχουν υψηλό το ποσοστό του πορώδους. Επιπλέον τα επιστρώματα pack cementation είναι περισσότερο ανθεκτικά στην οξείδωση ,μετά από τις δοκιμές οξείδωσης υψηλής θερμοκρασίας.
description: Τhe NiCrBSi platings are widely used, due to their durability at high temperatures combined with the low cost. The present study investigates the development and oxidation of NiCrBSi platings at steel of low coal.The development of the plating was accomplished through the thermal spray technique and pack cementation.Throughout both procedures NiCrBSi metal powder was used. The microstructure of the platings was analysed with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and was characterized with the use of a X-ray diffractometer and XRD method.The results of the experiment revealed that the thermal spray platings are connected through a weak mechanical bond with the plating, in contradiction of the pack cementation method, where the platings have a strong mechanical bond with the plating due to the diffusion phenomenon.Moreover, the thermal spray platings display a high percentage of the porous. Additionally, the pack cenentation platings are more resistant to oxidation, as it was observed, after oxidation tests at high temperatures.

description: Jurisdiction under regulation (CE) 44/2001 in matters relating to contract and tort that can arise out of the contracts of commercial agency and distribution is a matter of primal importance and great practical interest. As far as contractual matters are concerned, the application of Αrticle 5.1 of the Brussels Convention, as illustrated by the case law of the national courts, has been particularly problematic and complex. The new provision of 5.1 subparagraph (b) seems to improve the situation, but it provokes basic interpretative issues, which are connected with its vague wording and which make it doubtful, for now, whether the examined contracts can come under the new provision and how it should be applied. On the contrary, jurisdiction in matters relating to tort has been repeatedly established in the “place where the harmful event occurred” of Article 5.3 of the (Brussels Convention and the) Regulation without serious problems, given the simple real facts in this sector.
Das Politische neu denken. Braucht die christliche Sozialethik eine Theorie radikaler Demokratie?
Creators: name: Bogner, Daniel
Publisher: name: UB Tübingen
Year: 2015

description: Angesichts einer Krise der Demokratie in den zeitgenössischen demokratischen
 Gesellschaften problematisieren einige Autoren französischer Provenienz die
 konstitutiven Rahmenbedingungen der Demokratie. Besonders an drei Motiven
 dieses Denkens kann dies festgemacht werden: Der leere Ort der Macht, die
 Entzweiung des Sozialen und die kreative Instituierung der Gesellschaft. Diese
 drei Motive lösen allerdings einige theologische Resonanz aus, auch wenn das
 Denken ihrer Urheber nicht oder kaum religiös interessiert ist. Gegenüber
 ihrem naturrechtlichen Erbe ermöglichen solche Zugänge es der christlichen
 Sozialethik, die Krise der Demokratie als ihr ureigenes Thema zu identifizieren.
 Sie hat der Herrschaft »sekundärer Systeme« zu widersprechen und sich
 für die Ermöglichung von Demokratie zu engagieren.

 The crisis of democracy in contemporary western societies is the starting point
 for some key thinkers in France. They investigate the constitutional frames of
 democracy as a lived political system. One can especially identify three aspects
 of their theories which are of special interest in this concern: the empty place of
 power, the dissociation of the societal, the creative imagination of the society.
 Those three themes are in fact also opening on some theological considerations.
 But in deed for christian social ethics the french theorists facilitate to think about
 the possibility of democracy, even much more intensive and focussed than a
 theology burdended with the heritage of neoscholastic natural law was ever
 able to do before.

description: We investigate the chromospheric counterpart of small-scale coronal loops constituting a coronal bright point (CBP) and its response to a photospheric magnetic-flux increase accompanied by co-temporal CBP heating. We used co-observations from the AIA and HMI/SDO, together with data from the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph taken in the Halpha and Ca II 8542 lines. We used a new multi-layer spectral inversion technique to derive the temporal variations of the temperature of the Halpha loops (HLs). We find that the counterpart of the CBP, as seen at chromospheric temperatures, is composed of a bundle of dark elongated features named in this work Halpha loops, which constitute an integral part of the CBP loop magnetic structure. An increase in the photospheric magnetic flux due to flux emergence is accompanied by a rise of the coronal emission of the CBP loops, that is a heating episode. We also observe enhanced chromospheric activity associated with the occurrence of new HLs and mottles. While the coronal emission and magnetic flux increases appear to be co-temporal, the response of the Halpha counterpart of the CBP occurs with a small delay of less than 3 min. A sharp temperature increase is found in one of the HLs and in one of the CBP footpoints estimated at 46% and 55% with respect to the pre-event values, also starting with a delay of less than 3~min following the coronal heating episode. The low-lying CBP loop structure remains non-potential for the entire observing period. The magnetic topological analysis of the overlying corona reveals the presence of a coronal null point at the beginning and towards the end of the heating episode. The delay in the response of the chromospheric counterpart of the CBP suggests that the heating may have occurred at coronal heights.
