description: Communications about the future potentials of current innovation processes of nanotechnology are often accompanied by visionary scenarios anticipating future applications of nanotechnological products. The analysis and evaluation of the mediality of such scenarios has for some time been an important research topic of both sociological expectation- and Leitbild-research as well as, more recently, the vision assessment of German technology assessment. However, problems arise in these research traditions when they analyze and evaluate the mediality of highlyfuturistic visions whose speculative contents correspond neither to current trends in nanotechnological research and product development nor clearly to strategies and interests of the actors of innovation processes. Based on a case study on the mediality of visionary images of nanomachines used in medical journals, popular science magazines, business press and daily and weekly newspapers, my article shows that highly-futuristic scenarios can by all means be analyzed and evaluated as means of communication which facilitate communication between scientific, economic and mass medial discourses about future potentials of nanotechnology. The use of these futuristic and visionary scenarios for communicating nanotechnology s futures influences discourse-specific assessments of the innovative potentials of current nanotechnological product developments. To enable an analysisand evaluation of the mediality of highly-speculative visions which are not directly related to practical affairs, my article extends the theoretical and methodological instrument of the current vision assessment program. I suggest a systems-theoretical reorientation of vision assessment which is currently dominated by actor theoretical models.

description: It has previously been discovered that there is a universal power law behavior exhibited by the late X-ray emission (LXRE) of a "golden sample" (GS) of six long energetic GRBs, when observed in the rest-frame of the source. This remarkable feature, independent of the different isotropic energy (E_iso) of each GRB, has been used to estimate the cosmological redshift of some long GRBs. This analysis is extended here to a new class of 161 long GRBs, all with E_iso > 10^52 erg. These GRBs are indicated as binary-driven hypernovae (BdHNe) in view of their progenitors: a tight binary system composed of a carbon-oxygen core (CO_core) and a neutron star undergoing an induced gravitational collapse (IGC) to a black hole triggered by the CO_core explosion as a supernova (SN). We confirm the universal behavior of the LXRE for the "enlarged sample" (ES) of 161 BdHNe observed up to the end of 2015, assuming a double-cone emitting region. We obtain a distribution of half-opening angles peaking at 17.62 degrees, with a mean value of 30.05 degrees, and a standard deviation of 19.65 degrees. This, in turn, leads to the possible establishment of a new cosmological candle. Within the IGC model, such universal LXRE behavior is only indirectly related to the GRB and originates from the SN ejecta, of a standard constant mass, being shocked by the GRB emission. The fulfillment of the universal relation in the LXRE and its independence of the prompt emission, further confirmed in this article, establishes a crucial test for any viable GRB model.

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit entstand im Rahmen der HfH Studie B.17 (EBA-Laufbahnen in den Branchen Schreinerei und Hauswirtschaft, 2009–2012). Anhand eines vorgefertigten Fragebogens wurden Jugendliche aus den beiden Branchen im dritten Jahr nach EBA-Abschluss (Eidgenössischer Berufsattest) zu verschiedenen Bereichen ihres Lebens im Zusammenhang mit Berufsausbildung und - situation befragt. Zur Bearbeitung standen ebenfalls die Daten der bereits durchgeführten Befragungen mit denselben Jugendlichen im letzten vor und im ersten Jahr nach dem EBA-Abschluss zur Verfügung. Ich ging der Frage nach, inwiefern die besuchte Schulform und der kulturelle Hintergrund spezifische Auswirkungen auf die aktuelle berufliche aber auch persönliche Situation wie Selbstwertund/ oder Überlastungsempfinden hat. Es stellte sich heraus, dass sich die Unterschiede in den Untersuchsgruppen nicht so stark zeigen, wie ich angenommen habe.

description: Background: As part of the efforts being made to meet universal health coverage, Ethiopia plans to introduce social health insurance (SHI) scheme for the formal sector. Contribution will be collected as 3% of employee's gross salary from both employee and employer, despite that the scheme is expected to enhance access to healthcare, there is a concern that the premium may not be affordable to majority of civil servants and there could be limited interest to join the scheme. Therefore, this study aims to assess awareness and affordability of the newly proposed social health insurance among public servants in Arba Minch town, South Ethiopia. Methods and material Cross-sectional study designed was used among randomly selected 713 public servant at Arba Minch town. The survey participates were selected based on multistage stratified random sampling method. Data was collected via structured questioner, then it was cleaned, coded, entered in to EPI data v.3.1 and exported to SPSS version 25 statistical package for analysis. Descriptive statistics used to summarize awareness and affordability of the scheme and both bivariate and multivariable logistic regression was used to examine factors driving the outcome variables. Odd and 95% CI was used to report the finding. Result The study revealed that half of the participants never heard of social health insurance. Working sector, regularly listening for health information through mass media and participation in social network are significantly positively associated with awareness of SHI. From the total survey participants, 607 (87.7%) respondents are able to afford the 3% of gross salary per month as scheme premium. Educational status, family size and net income were significantly explains affordability to the scheme. Among the total respondents, 254 (36.7%) are willing to join for the scheme and interest to join the scheme is affected by awareness of the scheme, household size, regularly listening for health information and participation in social network. Conclusion and recommendation The study revealed that affordability to health insurance would not be a serious challenge to introduced SHI for the formal sector. The major problems are found to be limited knowledge about the design of health issuance and willingness to participate in the scheme. Half of the respondents were never heard of social health insurance. Although more than three fourth were able to afford, majority were not willing to join the scheme. Therefore, it is better to work hard on public awareness of the scheme. The evidence from this research indicates that provision of health information on mass media could be used as one strategy to enhance understanding of health insurance and to change perception on SHI scheme.

description: We study the pyrochlore Heisenberg antiferromagnet with additional positive biquadratic interaction in the semiclassical limit. The classical ground state manifold of the model contains an extensively large family of non-coplanar spin states known as "color ice states". Starting from a color ice state, a subset of spins may rotate collectively at no energy cost. Such excitation may be viewed in this three-dimensional system as a "membrane-like" analog of the well-known weathervane modes in the classical kagome Heisenberg antiferromagnet. We investigate the weathervane modes in detail and elucidate their physical properties. Furthermore, we study the order by disorder phenomenon in this model, focusing on the role of harmonic fluctuations. Our computationally-limited phase space search suggests that quantum fluctuations select three different states as the magnitude of the biquadratic interaction increases relative to the bilinear interaction, implying a sequence of phase transitions solely driven by fluctuations.

description: Diese Literaturarbeit vernetzt offene Unterrichtsformen, Neurowissenschaft, Erkenntnisse über das Lernen in der Adoleszenz und Neurodidaktik. Im Zentrum dieser Masterarbeit stehen folglich die Jugendlichen in der Adoleszenz. Nach den Erkenntnissen der Neurowissenschaft finden in der Adoleszenz massive Umstrukturierungen im Gehirn statt. Diese haben zur Folge, dass die exekutiven Funktionen beeinträchtigt sind und effizientes Lernen erschwert stattfindet. Bei Jugendlichen mit ADHS zeigen sich diese Phänomene zudem ausgeprägter. Die Auseinandersetzung mit den vier Theorien der offenen Unterrichtsformen, der Neurowissenschaft, der Adoleszenz und der Neurodidaktik zeigt auf, dass in der heilpädagogischen Arbeit offene Unterrichtsformen geeignete Settings zur Förderung der exekutiven Funktionen sind.

description: We report on magnetospectroscopy of HgTe quantum wells in magnetic fields up to 45 T in temperature range from 4.2 K up to 185 K. We observe intra- and inter-band transitions from zero-mode Landau levels, which split from the bottom conduction and upper valence subbands, and merge under the applied magnetic field. To describe experimental results, realistic temperature-dependent calculations of Landau levels have been performed. We show that although our samples are topological insulators at low temperatures only, the signature of such phase persists in optical transitions at high temperatures and high magnetic fields. Our results demonstrate that temperature-dependent magnetospectroscopy is a powerful tool to discriminate trivial and topological insulator phases in HgTe quantum wells.

Random and quasi-coherent aspects in particle motion and their effects on transport and turbulence evolution

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: The quasi-coherent effects in two-dimensional incompressible turbulence are analyzed starting from the test particle trajectories. They can acquire coherent aspects when the stochastic potential has slow time variation and the motion is not strongly perturbed. The trajectories are, in these conditions, random sequences of large jumps and trapping or eddying events. Trapping determines quasi-coherent trajectory structures, which have a micro-confinement effect that is reflected in the transport coefficients. They determine non-Gaussian statistics and flows associated to an average velocity. Trajectory structures also influence the test modes on turbulent plasmas. Nonlinear damping and generation of zonal flow modes is found in drift turbulence in uniform magnetic field. The coupling of test particle and test mode studies permitted to evaluate the self-consistent evolution of the drift turbulence in an iterated approach. The results show an important nonlinear effect of ion diffusion, which can prevent the transition to the nonlinear regime at small drive of the instability. At larger drive, quasi-coherent trajectory structures appear and they have complex effects on turbulence.

description: Doping a Mott-insulating $\mathbb{Z}_2$ spin liquid can lead to a fractionalized Fermi liquid (FL*). Such a phase has several favorable features that make it a candidate for the pseudogap metal for the underdoped cuprates. We focus on a particular, simple $\mathbb{Z}_2$-FL* state which can undergo a confinement transition to a spatially uniform superconductor which is smoothly connected to the `plain vanilla' BCS superconductor with $d$-wave pairing. Such a transition occurs by the condensation of bosonic particles carrying $+e$ charge but no spin (`chargons'). We show that modifying the dispersion of the bosonic chargons can lead to confinement transitions with charge density waves and pair density waves at the same wave-vector $\mathbf{K}$, co-existing with $d$-wave superconductivity. We also compute the evolution of the Hall number in the normal state during the transition from the plain vanilla FL* state to a Fermi liquid, and argue, following Coleman, Marston, and Schofield [Phys. Rev. B 72, 245111 (2005)], that it exhibits a discontinuous jump near optimal doping. We note the distinction between these results and those obtained from models of the pseudogap with fermionic chargons.

description: Lumbar puncture refusal in children under age ten: cross-sectional study Abstract: Background: This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with refusal of lumbar puncture (LP) in children aged 1 to 10 years old who presented to a pediatric department in our hospital. Methods: A sample of parents and guardians of children who presented to the pediatric department were surveyed to gather information about their educational background and decision-making processes. Attending doctors were also interviewed using a questionnaire to gather their perspectives on the reasons for LP refusal in children. Attending doctors then tried to convince the parents or guardians to see if it changed their decision. Results: The study found that the majority of parents and guardians had a lower educational background, with over half being illiterate. Refusal of LP was seen most frequently in parents or guardians who were illiterate. The decision-making process was found to be heavily dependent on the father in a male-dominated society. Peer pressure and lack of knowledge were found to be factors that contributed to LP refusal. Conclusion: The study revealed that a lower educational background and societal influences were associated with LP refusal in children. The attending doctors were able to overcome these barriers by addressing misconceptions and assuring parents and guardians of the safety and necessity of the procedure. Financial constraints and myths associated with LP were also identified as potential barriers to the procedure. This study highlights the importance of addressing these factors in order to improve healthcare for children. Keywords: Child; Spinal Puncture; Parents; Medical Staff, Hospital; Health Facilities

description: BACKGROUND - Ethiopia is the third populous country in Africa with a population of 73 million in the mid 2005. The population is growing rapidly at the rate of 2.46 percent per year. At this rate of growth the country will reach 100million in the next 15 years. Even if drastic measures slow the rate of growth, the population will continue to increase as the country's 47 million youths under the age of 24 raise their own families. /6/ OBJECTIVE - the study is designed to assess the magnitude and determinants of unmet need for family planning among couples, wives and husbands in Enderta district. METHODS -Community based cross-sectional study data collection started on January 1 and finished on January 26. It was carried out among couples; 408 wives and 408 husbands. Simple random sampling technique was implemented (the villages had equal chance of selection) select 7Villages out of the71. Interview held only for the couples wives aged 15 to 49 and their husbands living in the study area and selected house hold. Informants were interviewed using structured and pre tested questionnaire. Data analyzed using EPI Info version 6 and SPSS11 statistical packages. FINDINGS - When all couples were stratified according to the contraceptive need status, 48% of wives and 46.8% of husbands had unmet need. The maximum and minimum couple's unmet need was 57.6%and 18.6 respectively. Met need was 15%for wives and 21% for husbands. Contraceptive demands were 63.5 and 68%for wives and husbands respectively. Among the factors considered to be associated with unmet need only number of live children and discussion about contraception within these six months was found to be statistically significant. (Table 9, 11, 12). Developing and implementing programs that encourage the involvement of men in family planning, improving family planning service for men, and making male contraceptive methods available and accessible at all level of health facility is recommended, and encouraging spousal communication and involving men in family planning decision making is important in bridging the gap between met and unmet need.

description: Rechenschwache Kinder zeigen schon früh Schwierigkeiten im Umgang mit Zahlen und Mengen. Dies führt bei den Betroffenen oft zu Frustrationen und als Folge davon zur Abneigung gegenüber der Mathematik. Dadurch verlieren die Kinder immer mehr den Anschluss und erreichen die mathematischen Lernziele kaum. Diese Tatsache leitet zu folgender Fragestellung: Welche Arbeitsmaterialien zur Unterstützung rechenschwacher Kinder sind angezeigt, damit die mathematischen Basisziele der Unterstufe (Kanton Zürich) erreicht werden können? Die Untersuchung beruht auf einer Inhaltsanalyse der Literatur und auf einer Fragebogenerhebung mit quantitativer Auswertung. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass Mathematikunterricht mit wenigen gezielten Arbeitsmaterialien gestaltet werden kann. Die Erarbeitung und Erreichung der Basisziele ist Voraussetzung für mathematischen Lernerfolg. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse führen zur Entwicklung einer Broschüre, welche den Lehrpersonen Anhaltspunkte für den Einsatz von Arbeitsmaterialien bietet.

description: Urban environments face the serious challenge of complying with relatively tight constraints regarding land and tenant density. In fact, this has become a key constraint in both current and future urban designs. Moreover, wellbeing is strongly influenced by urban planning and design decisions. The objective of this study was to examine the effect of spatial parameters on the wellbeing of potential dwellers through VR experiments. The research incorporated two experiments that were conducted in a VR laboratory, by manipulating virtual twins of an existing urban environment. The first experiment focused on increased density levels combined with commerce and vegetation, while the second one focused on variant morphologies within a fixed density level. The results indicate that morphology, density, vegetation, and commercial activity have a significant impact on people’s wellbeing. The findings of this research emphasize certain design principles that could improve urban designs that are part of densification processes.

description: The model of neutrino mass matrix with minimal texture is now tightly constrained by experiment so that it can yield a prediction for the phase of CP violation. This phase is predicted to lie in the range $δ_{CP}=0.77π- 1.24π$. If neutrino oscillation experiment would find the CP violation phase outside this range, this means that the minimal-texture neutrino mass matrix, the element of which is all real, fails and the neutrino mass matrix must be complex, i.e., the phase must be present that is responsible for leptogenesis.

description: White clover has been, and continues to be, a valuable component of grazed pastures through improving feed quality and nutritive value, improving seasonal dry matter distribution, and providing biologically fixed nitrogen that benefits not only white clover itself but also the surrounding plants. The contribution of white clover to sustainability and environmental goals is a growing focus of breeding programs. The use of genome mapping and genotyping by sequencing to determine genetic variation and population structure in clover improvement programs needs to be expanded to improve breeding efficiencies. Seed yields also need to be improved while maintaining the selected agronomic performance traits to ensure that commercial cultivars remain cost-effective with other crops and land uses. Beneficial traits not available within the white clover genome may be provided through genetic modification and gene editing, particularly traits that contribute towards addressing challenges associated with animal nutrition and health, water quality and climate change. The inherent benefits of white clover as well as the potential for including additional beneficial traits will be described.

description: We investigate the applicability of the two major approximations which are most commonly employed in the study of the quantum Rabi model, namely the description of a resonant cavity mode as a single-mode quantized field and the use of the rotating wave approximation. Starting from the Hamiltonian of a two-level system interacting with a multi-mode quantized field, we perform the canonical transformation of the field operators. This allows one to partition the Hamiltonian of the system into two parts. The first part is the interaction of the two-level system with a single collective field mode, while the second one describes the interaction with field fluctuations. The first part is usually associated with the resonant cavity mode. This division enables us to determine the applicability condition of the single-mode approximation. In addition we identify simple approximate relations for the description of the eigenstates, eigenfunctions and the time evolution of the quantum Rabi model beyond the rotating wave approximation.

description: A density functional theory is proposed for strongly interacting fermions with arbitrary large negative scattering length. The functional has only two parameters that are directly fixed to reproduce the universal properties of unitary gas: the so-called "Bertsch parameter" $ξ_0$ and a parameter $η_e$ related to the possible influence of the effective range $r_e$ at infinite scattering length $a$. Using most recent quantum Monte-Carlo (QMC) estimates of these two parameters, it is shown that the functional properly reproduces the experimental measurements of interacting Fermi systems not only at unitarity but also away from this limit over a wide range of $(ak_F)^{-1}$ values. The functional is applied to obtain an expression of the Tan's contact parameter including the effect of $r_e$. Application is finally made to neutron matter. It is shown that most recent QMC results are well reproduced.

description: Within a combined experimental and theoretical study it is shown that the spin Hall angle of a substitutional alloy system can be continuously varied via its composition. For the alloy system AuxPt1-x a substantial increase of the maximum spin Hall angle compared to the pure alloy partners could be achieved this way. The experimental findings for the longitudinal charge conductivity sigma, the transverse spin Hall conductivity sigma(SH), and the spin Hall angle alpha(SH) could be confirmed by calculations based on Kubo's linear response formalism. Calculations of these response quantities for different temperatures show that the divergent behavior of sigma and sigma(SH) is rapidly suppressed with increasing temperature. As a consequence, sigma(SH) is dominated at higher temperatures by its intrinsic contribution that has only a rather weak temperature dependence.

Neuropeptides in the Control of Hydromineral Balance and Blood Flow

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 1993

description: Electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve (2 Hz, 1 ms, 3 v, 40 pulses at 5 min intervals) increased hind limb vascular resistance in rabbits. However, when guanethidine was applied the nerve stimulation induced a decrease in hind limb resistance and an increase in hind limb blood flow which was pulse duration-, frequency- and voltage dependent. The nerve induced responses were not affected by cholinergic or adrenergic blockade. The nerve induced vasodilatory responses were mimicked by local intraarterial infusions of substance P, both of which could be diminished by L-NAME (a nitric oxide synthesis blocker). In another set of experiments, CP-96, 345, a highly selective antagonist of neurokinin- l receptor, diminished both the nerve-induced as well as the substance P-induced decreases in hind limb vascular resistance. Neither L-NAME nor CP-96,345 affected the vasodilatory responses elicited by adenosine. In another set of experiments in sheep, L-NMMA (another nitric oxide synthesis blocker) was infused into the lateral ventricles. NO blocking centrally was associated with an increase in free water clearance and a decrease in plasma AVP levels during the infusion. Blood pressure decreased and heart rate increased during the infusion. O-NMMA had little effect. In a similarly prepared sheep, as the previous experiment, water deprivation for 96 hours resulted in a significant increase in plasma A VP and ANG-II levels as well as a significant increase in the levels of cerebrospinal fluid ANG-I/, NPYand CGRP levels all of which paralleled to an increase in plasma osmolality. The levels of the neuropeptides decreased when water was allowed and animals hydrated. The last study was conducted in thirteen children with moderate to severe degree of dehydration secondary to diarrhoea who were admitted to the ORT centre at Ethio-Swedish Paediatric hospital for rehydration with DRS. Plasma samples taken before the start of DRS therapy and another sample col/ected after fu ll hydration were compared for various variables. Plasma osmolality, sodium and potassium were lower than controls before DRS therapy all of which increa sed after full hydration was achieved. Tota l plasma protein, measured to assess the state of hydration, decreased after the DRS therapy. The results suggest the importance of the above mentioned neuropeptides in hydromineral balance and blood flow control in mammals. The involvement of the L-arginine/ NO pathway in blood flow is also demonstrated and the possible central in volvement of this pathway in hydromineral balance and release of some neuropeptides is suggested

description: We present a non-destructive method to probe a complex quantum system using multiple impurity atoms as quantum probes. Our protocol provides access to different equilibrium properties of the system by changing its coupling to the probes. In particular, we show that measurements with two probes reveal the system's non-local two-point density correlations, for probe-system contact interactions. We illustrate our findings with analytic and numerical calculations for the Bose-Hubbard model in the weakly and strongly-interacting regimes, under conditions relevant to ongoing experiments in cold atom systems.

description: With a large portion of buildings clad with translucent surfaces, solar shading is becoming increasingly important. Internationally, a great deal of research has been dedicated to this topic. In the face of climate change, New Zealand, like other countries in the world, is paying attention to this topic, which, however, is often considered a secondary aspect of the design process. This is reflected in the design of some buildings, especially residential developments, where there is a lack of consideration of optimal orientation. This research aims to extend our knowledge of state-of-the-art solar shadings in contemporary New Zealand architecture in order to determine what possible future improvements might be. In total, 339 products and 215 façades built between 2005 and 2021 were studied to achieve this objective. Results showed need for more training on solar shading design, a focus on better passive design and improved dynamic control.

description: Im Vorfeld von betrieblichen Modernisierungskonzepten wächst die Bedeutung überlegenen Expertenwissens. Gleichzeitig besteht verstärkter Subjektivitätsbedarf im Sinne hoher Entscheidungs- und Handlungserfordernisse. Mit diesem Beitrag soll die Diskussion um die Rolle von Experten in betrieblichen Modernisierungsprozessen, um die anerkannte oder verweigerte Geltung ihres Wissens, um die Anschluss- und Überzeugungsfähigkeit ihrer Situationsdefinitionen in organisatorischen Kontexten aus einer mikropolitischen Perspektive des Wissens weiterentwickelt werden.
description: As modernization projects approach organizations, the relative superiority of expert knowledge becomes an important issue. At the same time, the need for subjecvity arises to enable decisions and action. This paper delivers a contribution to the understanding of experts' roles in modernization processes. In terms of micropolitics of knowledge, the conditions of the acknowlegement or denial of legitimate knowledge of experts and their power to convince people of their situational definitions will be discussed.

title: A time-integrated analysis of Bd → π+π−π+π− at LHCb and simulations for Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGAD)
Creators: name: Friday, David
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: This thesis presents the time-integrated amplitude analysis of Bd → π+π−π+π− at the LHCb experiment during Run 2 data taking. It presents data selection of Bd mesons, with a yield of 126725 ± 504, and shows the amplitude model and full fits to the Run 2 (2015-2018) dataset. A longitudinal polarisation fraction of fL = 0.721 ± 0.01 ± 0.03 is reported with comparision to previous analyses. The extension of the analysis to a time and flavour-dependent analysis is discussed in the context of extracting a single solution to the unitarity angle α. Novel simulations of Low Gain Avalanche Detectors (LGAD) for the high luminosity LHC are also presented. Work was completed showing consistent behaviour at the device edge using trench termination, and through new radiation simulations, the gain degradation of LGAD devices was reported. Gain recovery was shown not to be feasible at fluences in excess of 1 × 1015 φneq.

Purchase Intention

description: This research is designed to establish how web design affects customers’ behaviors and purchase intentions. We found the most attractive elements of web design and separated our websites list by considering how many of these elements exist on each site. The scale was from poor websites (1 to 3 elements) to medium designs (4-6 elements) and finally good designs (7-10 elements). In our first study, we picked some of those websites, of every type, and we placed them on a questionnaire that had only one question: “How attractive do you find the website of the picture?”. We used the most popular website from each category for our next study, where we examined the design itself, the purchase intention, and the consumer’s behavior while browsing. We made correlations between the web designs and how they affect the purchase intention of their visitors. Finally, we examined whether gender and generation had an impact on web design and purchase intention.
description: Η εργασία μας είναι σχεδιασμένη για να εδραιώσει την επιρροή της σχεδίασης ιστοσελίδων στη συμπεριφορά του καταναλωτή και της πρόθεσης αγοράς του. Αναζητήσαμε τα πιο ελκυστικά στοιχεία του σχεδιασμού ιστοσελίδων και διαχωρίσαμε τη λίστα των υπό μελέτη ιστοσελίδων σύμφωνα με την ύπαρξη, ή παράλειψη, των εν λόγω στοιχείων. Η κλίμακα είχε τρία επίπεδα, τις «πτωχές» ιστοσελίδες ( 1-3 στοιχεία), τις «μέτριες» ιστοσελίδες (4-6 στοιχεία) και τις «καλές» ιστοσελίδες (7-10 στοιχεία). Στην πρώτη εκ των δύο ερευνών μας επιλέξαμε μερικές από τις ιστοσελίδες, κάθε κατηγορίας, και τις τοποθετήσαμε σε ένα ερωτηματολόγιο με μία μονάχα ερώτηση «Πόσο ελκυστική σας φαίνεται η παραπάνω ιστοσελίδα;». Χρησιμοποιήσαμε την πιο δημοφιλή ιστοσελίδα από κάθε κατηγορία για τη δεύτερη έρευνα, όπου εξετάσαμε το ίδιο το σχεδιασμό, την πρόθεση αγοράς, και την συμπεριφορά του υπό πλοήγηση καταναλωτή. Κάναμε τις συσχετίσεις μεταξύ του σχεδιασμού ιστοσελίδων και του τρόπου με τον οποίο επηρεάζει την πρόθεση αγοράς του καταναλωτή. Τέλος, εξετάσαμε το ενδεχόμενο συσχέτισης του φύλου και της γενιάς με το σχεδιασμό ιστοσελίδων και την πρόθεση αγοράς.

description: Η εμφάνιση του νέου ιού Sars-Cov-2 το 2019 οδήγησε στην πανδημία της Covid-19. Εκατομμύρια ανθρώπων παγκοσμίως νόσησαν, ενώ ορισμένοι ανάπτυξαν τη βαριά μορφή της νόσου. Τα άτομα που νοσούν βαριά εμφανίζουν πολλές φορές μία οξεία πνευμονική βλάβη , το σύνδρομο οξείας αναπνευστικής δυσχέρειας (ARDS) και χρήζουν νοσηλείας στη ΜΕΘ Covid. Η αξία της φυσιοθεραπείας στους ασθενείς αυτούς έχει αναγνωριστεί διεθνώς. Πρακτικές όπως η αναπνευστική φυσιοθεραπεία και η πρώιμη κινητοποίηση, αποδίδουν σημαντικά οφέλη στους ασθενείς, για την περαιτέρω ευνοϊκή εξέλιξη της υγείας τους. Επιπλέον καταστάσεις όπως η μυοπάθεια της μονάδας και το ντελίριο μπορεί να προληφθούν ή να βελτιωθούν. Σ΄αυτή την εργασία επιχειρείται να δοθεί μία σφαιρική εικόνα του ρόλου που διαδραματίζει η φυσιοθεραπεία στην εξέλιξη και αποκατάσταση των ασθενών με Covid -19 σε κρίσιμη κατάσταση.
description: The appearance of the new virus Sars-Cov-2 in 2019 led to the Covid-19 pandemic. Millions of people worldwide became ill, while some of them became critically ill. Those who become seriously ill often display a severe acute lung injury, known as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and they need to be admitted to the Covid ICU. The value of physiotherapy to these patients has been recognized internationally. Practices such as respiratory physiotherapy and early mobilization, yield significant benefits to patients for the further development of their health. In addition situations such as ICU-AW (Intensive Care Unit-Acquired Weakness) and delirium can be prevented or improved. The aim of this assignment is to examine the role of physiotherapy in the progress and recovery of patients critically influenced by Covid-19.

description: We study a one dimensional Coulomb system, where two charged colloids are neutralized by a collection of point counterions, with global neutrality. Temperature being given, two situations are addressed: the colloids are either kept at fixed positions (canonical ensemble), or the force acting on the colloids is fixed (isobaric-isothermal ensemble). The corresponding partition functions are worked out exactly, in view of determining which arrangement of counterions is optimal: how many counterions should be in the confined segment between the colloids? For the remaining ions outside, is there a left/right symmetry breakdown? We evidence a cascade of transitions, as system size is varied in the canonical treatment, or as pressure is increased in the isobaric formulation.
