description: The increasing size and complexity of web applications has led to a situation where the traditional approach of creating and managing a set of plain HTML files is inappropriate in many cases. Consistency in structure, look and feel, and hyperlinks needs to be maintained, and support for different content formats may be required. The combination of XML Schema, XML and XSLT is able to improve this situation, but the expressive power of XML Schema is insufficient for application domains where more than a pure hierarchical structure is required. In this work, we have chosen the XML toolchain as a guideline to construct an alternative basis for web information systems at a higher level of abstraction, namely UML class diagrams. We have identified a UML counterpart or implemented a substitute for each constituent of the XML processing chain, showing that it is possible to build a consistent UML-based system for model driven web applications. Since our approach is based on model interpretation, a system prototype can be created by simply drawing a conceptual model in the form of a UML class diagram---a step that is required in the relevant development methodologies anyway. By making this first step immediately operational without any compilation or transformation steps, the gap between web development methodologies and actual system implementation has been narrowed significantly.

description: We report on high-efficiency superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors based on amorphous WSi and optimized at 1064 nm. At an operating temperature of 1.8 K, we demonstrated a 93% system detection efficiency at this wavelength with a dark noise of a few counts per second. Combined with cavity-enhanced spontaneous parametric down-conversion, this fiber-coupled detector enabled us to generate narrowband single photons with a heralding efficiency greater than 90% and a high spectral brightness of $0.6\times10^4$ photons/(s$\cdot$mW$\cdot$MHz). Beyond single-photon generation at large rate, such high-efficiency detectors open the path to efficient multiple-photon heralding and complex quantum state engineering.

description: Although workplace climate has been already extensively studied, the research has not led to firm conclusions regarding leadership trainings referring to the awareness of psychological safety in a company and its influence on existing teams and the general work climate. The author used the already existing model of Carr, Schmidt, Ford, & DeShon (2003) and adjusted it with psychological safety as 4th climate item to develop hypothesen which can also be seen as a path analytic model. The model posied that climate affects individual level outcomes through its impact on cognitive and affective states. Therefore, the author wants to show the correlation between the 4 higher order facets of climate affect the individual levels of job performance, psychological well-being and withdrawal through their impact on orangizational commitment and job saitsfaction (Carr, Schmidt, Ford, & DeShon, 2003).

description: These are notes for three lectures on higher properads given at a program at the mathematical institute MATRIX in Australia in June 2016. The first lecture covers the case of operads, and provides a brief introduction to the Moerdijk-Weiss theory of dendroidal sets. The second lecture extends the discussion to properads and our work with Donald Yau on graphical sets. These two lectures conclude with models for higher (pr)operads given by an inner horn filling condition. Finally, in the last lecture, we explore some properties of the graphical category and use them to give a Segal-type model for higher properads.

description: Die Nutzung des Controllings als zentrales Instrument zur Unternehmenssteuerung in der landwirtschaftlichen Branche in Österreich zeigt eine uneinheitliche Ausprägung. Während größere Betriebe das Controlling zur effektiven Steuerung einsetzen und dabei die Planung, Umsetzung und Anpassung betonen, vernachlässigen kleinere und mittlere Betriebe häufig die Nutzung von Controlling oder generellen Aufzeichnungen. Die Verwendung von Werkzeugen und Führungsinstrumenten variiert entsprechend den spezifischen Bedürfnissen und Rahmenbedingungen der Betriebe. Im Ackerbau spielt die langfristige Planung eine zentrale Rolle, während Gemüseanbaubetriebe Instrumente wie Liquiditätsplanung und Marktbeobachtung einsetzen. Tierhaltungsbetriebe führen interne Kalkulationen und Kostenabschätzungen durch. Auch die Planungsebenen und die Auswahl finanzieller Leistungskennzahlen unterscheiden sich in den landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben. Die Messung der wirtschaftlichen Ergebnisse erfolgt mittels verschiedener Methoden wie Gewinn- und Verlustrechnung, doppelter Buchhaltung und Einnahmen-Ausgaben-Rechnung. Externe Faktoren wie Wetterbedingungen, Marktpreise und politische Veränderungen beeinflussen die Geschäftstätigkeit landwirtschaftlicher Unternehmen. Es bestehen sowohl verschiedene Herausforderungen für die zukünftige Unternehmensführung als auch Chancen in den Bereichen Effizienzsteigerung, Smart Farming, Direktvermarktung und Anpassung an den Klimawandel und regionale Märkte. Landwirte zeigen eine Bereitschaft zur Innovation und Offenheit für neue Lösungsansätze.

description: Background:-Health extension program (HEP) is an innovative community based strategy to deliver preventive and promotive services. It brings community participation through creation of awareness, behavioral change, community organization and mobilization. It also improves the utilization of health services by bridging the gap between the community and health facilities. Objectives:-Assessing attitude and participation level of households towards health extension program in Nefas Silk Lafto Sub-city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Method:- Community based cross-sectional study design was used to assess the attitude and participation level of households with the sample size 423, which was determined by single proportion formula (P) of 0.5 and 95% confidence interval. Households were included in the study using systematic sampling method. Health extension workers were randomly selected first and households under health extension workers were included into the study by calculating the interval between the households. Structured pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data. Frequencies, proportions, odds ratio (95% CI), adjusted odds ratio(95% CI) and logistic regression were used for description of the study population, to determine dependent and independent variables association strength and relative effect of independent variables on dependent variables. Result:- Participation level of households in health extension program was 42% (95% C.I= 0.37-0.47) and attitude of households on the change HEP implementation brought, satisfaction of HHs on HEP services, communication skill of HEW, believing HEW skillful and satisfaction of HHs on HEW service provision were associated with participation level of households in HEP [AOR(95%C.I):0.15(0.04-0.54),21.08(2.32-191.38),0.06(0.01-0.64),0.11(0.03-0.35)and 2.67(1.01-7.09) respectively. Conclusion:- Majority of the respondents have poor attitude and low participation level in HEP. This is due to household's attitude towards change that the program has brought was very low and their satisfaction on the program was low. Households' attitude on the technical competence of HEW and communication skill of health extension worker was unfavorable and influence participation in the program.
Optical Stabilization of a Microwave Oscillator for Fountain Clock Interrogation

description: We describe an optical frequency stabilization scheme of a microwave oscillator that is used for the interrogation of primary caesium fountain clocks. Because of its superior phase noise properties, this scheme, which is based on an ultrastable laser and a femtosecond laser frequency comb, overcomes the frequency instability limitations of fountain clocks given by the previously utilized quartz-oscillator-based frequency synthesis. The presented scheme combines the transfer of the short-term frequency instability of an optical cavity and the long-term frequency instability of a hydrogen maser to the microwave oscillator and is designed to provide continuous long-term operation for extended measurement periods of several weeks. The utilization of the twofold stabilization scheme on the one hand ensures the referencing of the fountain frequency to the hydrogen maser frequency and on the other hand results in a phase noise level of the fountain interrogation signal, which enables fountain frequency instabilities at the $2.5 \times 10^{-14} (τ/\mathrm{s})^{-1/2}$ level which are quantum projection noise limited.

description: We discuss the cosmological implications of the $R~\Box^{-2}R$ nonlocal modification to standard gravity. We relax the assumption of special initial conditions in the local formulation of the theory, perform a full phase-space analysis of the system, and show that the late-time cosmology of the model exhibits two distinct evolution paths, on which a large range of values for the present equation of state can be reached. We then compare the general solutions to supernovae data and place constraints on the parameters of the model. In particular, we find that the mass parameter of the theory should be smaller than 1.2 in Hubble units.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2011

description: Back ground The removal of discussion on sexual matters from the control of the community resulted in individual decisions about when, where, with whom and for what purpose to have sexual intercourse. This kind of decision make Students in higher learning institutions vulnerable to many sexual and reproductive health problems such as unwanted pregnancy, complications of unsafe abortion ,sexually transmitted infections , prevailing HIV/AIDS pandemic etc. These problems may be common among Jigjiga University students since there is lack of proper counseling and other reproductive health services. Previous studies done on predictors of sexual experience were limited to a narrow range of socio-demographic variables and individual behavior, which have small or modest effect on behaviors. Objective The aim of this study was to assess sexual experience and their correlates among unmarried youth in Jigjiga University. Method A cross sectional quantitative study design was used to study sexual experience and their correlates among 730 unmarried Jigjiga university students. The data analysis methods used were, Univariate for frequencies, bivariate analysis to see association between independent and dependent variables and multiple logistic regression(using SPSS version 16) to see the independent effect of selected variables on sexual activity of students. Results Three hundred seven (46.6%) of all students reported that they have had sexual experience. Watching pornographic films, having boy/girl friend, peer pressure, having a few and many friends who ever had sexual intercourse, and having positive/permissive attitude to teenage sex are variables which were significantly associated with sexual experience of students. Conclusion The study revealed that watching pornographic films was the strongest predictor of sexual activity of students. Therefore the government and other stake holders should give due emphasis in educating youth on harmful sides of watching SEM"s and creating strong control mechanisms on ways of its transmission.

description: Σκοπός της εργασίας ήταν η μελέτη των δυνατοτήτων συμβολής των ανθρώπων της Τρίτης ηλικίας στη χριστιανική ανατροφή των παιδιών. Αρχικά ασχοληθήκαμε γενικότερα με τους ηλικιωμένους, τη συνεισφορά τους στην οικογένεια και στην κοινωνία, τα προβλήματα και τις ασθένειες που αντιμετωπίζουν αλλά και τα διάφορα στερεότυπα που έχουν επικρατήσει εναντίον τους. Στη συνέχεια, αναφερθήκαμε στο πόσο σπουδαίο είναι το έργο της ανατροφής των παιδιών και πώς το βλέπουν μεγάλοι άγιοι και πατέρες της Εκκλησίας. Ακόμη, παρουσιάσαμε ορισμένα παραδείγματα ανθρώπων, παλαιών και σύγχρονων, που η συμβολή των παππούδων και των γιαγιάδων τους έπαιξε σημαντικό ρόλο για την πνευματική τους εξέλιξη. Ένα άλλο θέμα που θίξαμε ήταν η αξία της θρησκευτικότητας στη ζωή των υπερηλίκων, το αν είναι εφικτό να μεταδώσουν στις νεότερες γενιές τις θρησκευτικές πεποιθήσεις τους. Επιπλέον, εξετάσαμε το τι αντίκτυπο έχει στην υγεία τους το να φροντίζουν τα εγγόνια τους αλλά και τις προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζουν όταν αναλαμβάνουν αυτό τον ρόλο
description: The aim of this work is to study the importance of the elderly’s contribution to the christian education of the children. Initially, we deal in general with the elderly, their contribution to family and to society, the problems and illnesses they face and the various stereotypes that have prevailed against them. Subsequently, we report the significant value of the upbringing of children and how great Saints and fathers of the Church perceive it. In addition, we present some examples of people of different ages, whose grandparents played an important role in their spiritual growth. Another topic we review is the value of religiousness in the lives of the elderly, and whether it is possible to pass their religious beliefs to younger generations. We also examine what may be the impact of taking care of their grandchildren on their health and the challenges they may face when taking on this role. Finally, we suggest various ways of including the elderly in everyday life and society

description: In this second part of the work, we correct the flaw which was left in the proof of the main Theorem in the first part. This affects only a small part of the text in this first part and two consecutive papers. Yet, some additional arguments and additions are needed to claim the validity of the classification results. With these new results in a disposition, algebraic and rational flows can be much more easily and transparently classified. It also turns out that the notion of an algebraic projective flow is a very natural one. For example, we give an inductive (on dimension) method to build algebraic projective flows with rational vector fields, and ask whether these account for all such flows. Further, we expand on results concerning rational flows in dimension $2$. Previously we found such flows symmetric with respect to a linear involution $i(x,y)=(y,x)$. Here we find all rational flows symmetric with respect to a non-linear $1$-homogeneous involution $i(x,y)=(\frac{y^2}{x},y)$. We also find all solenoidal rational flows. Up to linear conjugation, there appears to be exactly two non-trivial examples.

description: Background: Street sweeping dust is the determinant of the occurrence of respiratory symptoms among street sweepers who do not use the appropriate personal protective equipment. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess personal street dust exposure, prevalence and associated factors of chronic respiratory health symptoms among street sweepers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods and materials: A cross-sectional study was conducted among a sample of 570 randomly selected street sweepers in Addis Ababa in 4 selected sub-cities using an American Thoracic Society respiratory symptoms questionnaire with a few modifications from March 17-May 13, 2018. Epi-Info v.7.2 and SPSS v.21 were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. Descriptive statistics were used, and data were presented using tables and figures. A binary logistic regression model was used to determine the odds ratio of chronic respiratory health symptoms for each predictor. A total of 50 personal dust measurements among 25 randomly selected street sweepers were done from the selected sub-cities by fixing dust samplers around the breathing zone. Gravimetric analysis of filters was done before and after dust sampling using a standard micro-balance. The dust level was described and compared with the threshold limit value of American conference of governmental industrial hygienist recommendation (10 mg/m3). Results: In this study, the prevalence of chronic respiratory health symptoms among street sweepers was 70.3% with prevalence of a cough (28.3%), phlegm (24.7%), wheezing (18.0%), breathlessness (44.9%), nose irritation (28.8%), and sneezing (37.1%). None of the participants used respiratory protective devices, while the wearing of nose/mouth mask was reported 11.5%. Chronic respiratory health symptoms among street sweepers were significantly associated with age (AOR=2.29, 95% CI; 1.21-4.34), working hours per day (AOR=1.91, 95% CI; 1.21-3.02) and wear of nose/mouth mask (AOR=0.42, 95% CI; 0.24-0.73). The GM (±GSD) dust exposure level (n=50) of the street sweepers was 10.14 (±1.43) mg/m3. This exceeded the threshold limit value of American conference of governmental industrial hygienist recommendation (10 mg/m3). Conclusion and recommendations: Chronic respiratory health symptom was highly prevalent among the street sweepers. The street sweepers were exposed to street dust level above the recommended occupational exposure level. Addis Ababa city sanitation administration agency should provide adequate and high-quality respirator devices and watering the street surface before sweeping is highly recommended. Further studies using strong study design in comprehensive streets of Addis Ababa are highly recommended.

description: Superconducting properties of three series of amorphous WxSi1-x films with different thickness and stoichiometry were investigated by dc transport measurements in a magnetic field up to 9 T. These amorphous WxSi1-x films were deposited by magnetron co-sputtering of the elemental source targets onto silicon substrates at room temperature and patterned in form of bridges by optical lithography and reactive ion etching. Analysis of the data on magnetoconductivity allowed us to extract the critical temperature, superconducting coherence length, magnetic penetration depth, and diffusion coefficient of electrons in the normal state as a function of film thickness for each stoichiometry. Two basic time constants were derived from transport and time-resolving measurements. A dynamic process of the formation of a hot-spot was analyzed in the framework of a diffusion-based vortex-entry model. We used the two stage diffusion approach and defined a hotspot size by assuming that the quasi-particles and normal-state electrons have the equal diffusion constant. Our findings are consistent with the most recent results on a hot-spot relaxation time in the WxSi1-x superconducting nanowire single-photon detector. In the 5 nm thick W0.85Si0.15 film the hot-spot has a diameter of 105 nm at the peak of the number of non-equilibrium quasi-particles.

description: The aim of the master's thesis was to study the characteristics of childhood and the education of children based on the Lives of the saints of the mid-Byzantine period. The work was structured in three chapters: The first chapter explored the issue of measuring time and ages in Byzantium and made special reference to the delimitation of childhood based on testimonies from medieval Byzantine hagiographical sources. The second chapter provides a detailed presentation of aspects of children's lives from birth to the age of twelve. Specifically, the evolution of the institution of family and the factors that influenced its structure were examined. Moreover, the content, the purpose and the factors that shape the meaning of the education received by children, both boys and girls, were also determined, as it results from the study of the hagiographical texts of the specific period. Then, a more specific reference was made to the meaning of the term "pedariogeron" and, finally, the presence of non-saint children in the Lives was outlined and both similarities and differences with the protagonists of said biographies were investigated. In the third chapter we focused on the character and content of the elementary education that children receive until they are twelve years old, both within the family and within the educational structures of that time

description: We study how adsorption of a near-critical binary mixture in a nanopore is modified by flow inside the pore. We identify three types of steady states upon variation of the pore Péclet number (${\rm Pe}_p$), which can be reversibly accessed by the application of an external pressure. Interestingly, for small ${\rm Pe}_p$ the pore acts as a weakly selective membrane which separates the mixture. For intermediate ${\rm Pe}_p$, the flow effectively shifts the adsorption in the pore thereby opening possibilities for enhanced and tunable solute transport through the pore. For large ${\rm Pe}_p$, the adsorption is progressively reduced inside the pore, accompanied by a long ranged dispersion of the mixture far from the pore.

description: We report on the experimental realization of flat mirrors enabling the broadband generation of optical vortices upon reflection. The effect is based on the geometric Berry phase associated with the circular Bragg reflection phenomenon from chiral uniaxial media. We show the reflective optical vortex generation from both diffractive and nondiffractive paraxial light beams using spatially patterned chiral liquid crystal films. The intrinsic spectrally broadband character of spin-orbit generation of optical phase singularities is demonstrated over the full visible domain. Our results do not rely on any birefringent retardation requirement and consequently foster the development of a novel generation of robust optical elements for spin-orbit photonic technologies.

description: Das Design von Algorithmen und ihre Analyse gehören zu den fundamentalen Aufgaben der Informatik. Dabei ist das Berechnen der Optima einer Funktion eines der wichtigsten Probleme - in Theorie wie Praxis. In dieser Dissertation werden verschiedene randomisierte Suchheuristiken, zu denen die evolutionären Algorithmen gehören, zur Optimierung pseudoboolescher Funktionen theoretisch untersucht. Zum Beginn werden die Effekte der Wahl der Plus- und Komma-Selektion auf die Laufzeit eines einfachen evolutionären Algorithmus bei unterschiedlichen Nachkommenpopulationsgrößen betrachtet. Bei kleinen Nachkommenpopulationen ist die Komma-Selektion bereits zur Optimierung einfacher Funktionen völlig ungeeignet, wohingegen bei großen Nachkommenpopulationen die Plus- und die Komma-Selektion sich sehr ähnlich verhalten. Für Nachkommenpopulationen, die weder klein noch groß sind, wird exemplarisch die wesentliche Effizienzsteigerung durch Einsatz der Komma- gegenüber der Plus-Selektion bewiesen. Des Weiteren werden die Effekte der Wahl der Elternpopulationsgröße auf die Laufzeit eines einfachen evolutionären Algorithmus betrachtet. Neben dem Vergleich der Auswirkungen der Diversität auf die Effizienz zur Optimierung einfacher Funktionen wird ein starkes Hierarchieresultat für die Elternpopulationsgröße gezeigt. Bereits die Vergrößerung der Population um eins kann von totaler Ineffizienz zu Effizienz führen. Des Weiteren betrachten wir detailliert die Effekte von Transformationen der zu optimierenden Funktionen sowohl für die unterschiedlichen Komponenten und Klassen von randomisierten Suchheuristiken als auch für die Black-Box-Komplexität. Diesbezüglich kann eine Klassifizierung aller Suchheuristiken und Transformationen vorgenommen sowie für einfache Algorithmen konkretisiert werden. Zum Schluss werden einfache randomisierte Suchheuristiken zur Approximierung und Optimierung des Cliquenproblems untersucht. Dies geschieht nicht nur für beliebige Graphen erschöpfend, sondern auch für spezielle Klassen von Graphen. Den semizufälligen Graphen kommt eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Hier gelingt es schließlich in einer sehr allgemeinen Form, die wesentliche Steigerung der Effizienz einer randomisierten Suchheuristik durch den Einsatz einer großen Population nachzuweisen. Für planare und zufällige planare Graphen wird abschließend durch die Betrachtung der Black-Box-Komplexität die Optimalität eines Metropolis-Algorithmus zur Berechnung einer größten Clique bewiesen.

description: In light of the emerging area of protein chemistry, we demonstrated that the Diels-Alder ligation offers an advantageous new way for the site-selective functionalization and labeling of proteins and peptides. The first studies have shown that peptides containing a diene (2,4-hexadiene) and a dienophile (maleimide) functions can be ligated chemoselectivety in aqueous solution with high efficiency. The scope of the Diels-Alder ligation approach for protein ligation was further investigated using streptavidin, avidin and, in a more biologically relevant example, Rab7 proteins as model systems. The hexadiene moiety revealed to be stable and bioorthogonal to all functionalities found in peptides and could be incorporated into proteins by different methods: non-covalently by formation of a protein-hexadienyl ligand complex; covalently by standard bioconjugation techniques; or covalently and site-specifically employing the expressed protein ligation (EPL) approach. The resulting protein diene derivative was further functionalized by means of the Diels-Alder reactions with different maleimides under very mild conditions. Because the maleimide group can potentially react with cysteine residues found in proteins via Michael conjugated addition, the mercapto group of these amino acids must be masked as disulfides during the course of the Diels-Alder ligation. This procedure is technically very simple and showed not to impair the biological function of the model proteins. The developed methodology opens a new alternative approach to equip a given protein (or polypeptide) with appropriate functionalities that can be further explored for biochemical and biological investigations.

description: We use the Boltzmann transport theory in the relaxation time approximation to describe the thermal transport of spin waves in a ferromagnet. By treating spin waves as magnon excitations we are able to compute analytically and numerically the coefficients of the constitutive thermo-magnetic transport equations. As a main result, we find that the absolute thermo-magnetic power coefficient $ε_M$, relating the gradient of the potential of the magnetization current and the gradient of the temperature, in the limit of low temperature and low field, is a constant $ε_M = -0.6419 \, k_B/μ_B$. The theory correctly describes the low-temperature and magnetic-field dependencies of spin Seebeck experiments. Furthermore, the theory predicts that in the limit of very low temperatures the spin Peltier coefficient $Π_M$, relating the heat and the magnetization currents, tends to a finite value which depends on the amplitude of the magnetic field. This indicates the possibility to exploit the spin Peltier effect as an efficient cooling mechanism in cryogenics.

description: Έχει αποδειχθεί ότι τα χρόνια νοσήματα επηρεάζουν σε σηµαντικό βαθµό την ψυχολογία των ασθενών, καθώς έχει καταγραφεί υψηλός επιπολασμός άγχους και κατάθλιψης σε ασθενείς πάσχοντες από χρόνια νοσήματα. Παράλληλά, η πανδημία του ιού Covid-19 αποτελεί και οι επιπτώσεις της αποτελούν σημαντικό ψυχοπιεστικό παράγοντα για τους ανθρώπους. Σκοπός της παρούσας έρευνας ήταν η καταγραφή των επιπέδων άγχους και κατάθλιψης σε ασθενείς µε χρόνιες ασθένειες, και συγκεκριμένα με κυστική ίνωση ή σακχαρώδη διαβήτη κατά την περίοδο της πανδημίας του ιού Covid-19. Για το σκοπό αυτό πραγµατοποιήθηκε ποσοτική έρευνα σε δείγµα 184 ασθενών µε χρόνια νοσήµατα. Για την αξιολόγηση των επιπέδων άγχους και κατάθλιψης των ασθενών χρησιµοποιήθηκε το Ερωτηματολόγιο του Spielberger (STAI) καθώς και η κλίμακα του Beck (Beck Anxiety Inventory). Τα αποτελέσµατα έδειξαν ότι τα άτομα που πάσχουν από χρόνια νοσήματα στατιστικά σκοράρουν σε υψηλότερα επίπεδα κατάθλιψης, αλλά και άγχους. Επιπρόσθετα, φάνηκε ότι στα άτομα που πάσχουν από σακχαρώση διαβήτη καταγράφηκαν στατιστικώς σημαντικά επίπεδα κατάθλιψης σε σύγκριση με άτομα πάσχοντα από κυστική ίνωση. Αντιθέτως, όσον αφορά τα επίπεδα του άγχους καταγράφηκαν παρόμοιες βαθμολογίες επιπέδων άγχους μεταξύ των δύο ομάδων. Κανένα από τα δημογραφικά χαρακτηριστικά δεν υπέδειξε ότι επηρεάζει σημαντικά τα επίπεδα άγχους των ατόμων με χρόνια νοσήματα
description: Chronic diseases have been shown to significantly affect patients' psychology, as a high prevalence of anxiety and depression has been reported in patients with chronic diseases. At the same time, the Covid-19 virus pandemic and its effects are an important stressor for people. The aim of this study was to record the levels of anxiety and depression in patients with chronic diseases, specifically with cystic fibrosis or diabetes, during the period of the Covid-19 virus pandemic. For this purpose, a quantitative study was performed on a sample of 184 patients with chronic diseases. In order to evaluate the levels of anxiety and depression of patients, the Spielberger Questionnaire (STAI) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were used. The results showed that people suffering from chronic diseases statistically score at higher levels of depression and anxiety. In addition, it was shown that people suffering from diabetes mellitus recorded statistically significant levels of depression compared to people suffering from cystic fibrosis. On the contrary, in terms of stress levels, similar scores of stress levels were recorded between the two groups. None of the demographic characteristics have indicated that it significantly affects the stress levels of people with chronic diseases

description: We study the stability of spatially flat FRW solutions which are geodesically complete, i.e. for which one can follow null (graviton) geodesics both in the past and in the future without ever encountering singularities. This is the case of NEC-violating cosmologies such as smooth bounces or solutions which approach Minkowski in the past. We study the EFT of linear perturbations around a solution of this kind, including the possibility of multiple fields and fluids. One generally faces a gradient instability which can be avoided only if the operator $~^{(3)}{R} δN~$ is present and its coefficient changes sign along the evolution. This operator (typical of beyond-Horndeski theories) does not lead to extra degrees of freedom, but cannot arise starting from any theory with second-order equations of motion. The change of sign of this operator prevents to set it to zero with a generalised disformal transformation.

description: Objective: In early stages of disease, the differential diagnosis between Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and atypical parkinsonism, such as Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), could be challenging. Growing attention has recently been dedicated to investigating neuropsychological markers of degenerative parkinsonism. The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (ROCFT) copy score was hypothesized able to differentiate PSP from PD. However, ROCFT is a drawing test requiring multiple cognitive abilities and it is still unknown which of them assumes an important role in PSP performance. Using a qualitative scoring system, we investigated which cognitive abilities underpin the PSP performance at the ROCFT copy trial. Moreover, we evaluated usefulness of the BQSS scores in discriminating PSP from PD. Methods: Thirty PSP-Richardson’s Syndrome (PSP-RS) patients, 30 PD patients, and 30 healthy control (HC) comparable for age, education, and gender were enrolled. All subjects underwent a neuropsychological evaluation; ROCFT copy were evaluated with the 36-Point Score and with the Boston Qualitative Scoring System (BQSS). Results: PSP-RS patients performed worse in ROCFT 36-Point Score and in several BQSS scores compared to other groups. Most suitable scores discriminating PSP-RS from PD were “Perseveration” and “Vertical Expansion” of BQSS. A logistic regression model considering “Perseveration” and “Vertical Expansion” showed a diagnostic accuracy of 83,3% for PSP-RS condition. Conclusion: our findings showed that “Perseveration” and “Vertical Expansion” BQSS scores were useful in discriminating PSP-RS from PD. “Perseveration” and “Vertical Expansion” BQSS scores might be included in the cognitive evaluation along with quantitative scores when PSP diagnosis is considered.
