description: Ο Covid-19 ή «νέος κορονοϊός» ή απλώς «κορονοϊός» είναι ένας ιός που επέπεσε στην ανθρωπότητα το Μάρτιο του 2020 προερχόμενος από την πόλη Γιουχάν της Κίνας. Τα συμπτώματα που παρουσιάζουν οι ασθενείς του Covid-19 είναι κυρίως πυρετός και βήχας. Για την αντιμετώπισή του διατίθενται κάποια φάρμακα, αλλά πρόσφατα έχουν εισέλθει στην αγορά και εμβόλια. Επιπλέον, όλες οι κυβερνήσεις έχουν θεσπίσει ειδικά μέτρα για την προστασία των πολιτών. Τα μέτρα αυτά όμως φαίνεται να παραβιάζουν την προστασία των δεδομένων προσωπικού χαρακτήρα των πολιτών και έτσι τίθεται το ερώτημα κατά πόσο συμβαδίζουν με τη δεοντολογία. Ωστόσο, η αναγκαιότητα προστασίας της δημόσιας υγείας ξεπερνά το αντιδεοντολογικό των μέτρων αυτών υπό τον όρο, βέβαια, ότι θα τίθενται σε επεξεργασία μόνο όσα δεδομένα σχετίζονται με την προστασία από τον Covid-19. Όλοι οι αρμόδιοι φορείς υγείας σε κάθε χώρα δίνουν οδηγίες για την καλύτερη προστασία του προσωπικού υγείας, των ασθενών, αλλά και γενικά των πολιτών. Τέτοιοι φορείς στην Ελλάδα είναι μεταξύ άλλων ο Εθνικός Οργανισμός Δημόσιας Υγείας (ΕΟΔΥ), ο Πανελλήνιος Ιατρικός Σύλλογος, καθώς και οι κατά τόπους ιατρικοί σύλλογοι, όπως ο Ιατρικός Σύλλογος Θεσσαλονίκης (ΙΣΘ). Όμως του θέματος επιλήφθηκε και η Ενωμένη Ευρώπη, η οποία έχει δημιουργήσει ειδικές εφαρμογές για τα κινητά τηλέφωνα, οι οποίες ανιχνεύουν τις επαφές των χρηστών και μπορούν να τους προειδοποιήσουν αν πλησίασαν κάποιον θετικό στον Covid-19, έτσι ώστε στη συνέχεια να λάβουν τα μέτρα τους
description: The Covid-19 or "new coronavirus" or simply "coronavirus" is a virus that fell on the humanity in March 2020 from the city of Yohan in China. The symptoms of Covid-19 patients are mainly fever and cough. Some drugs are available to treat it, but vaccines have recently entered the market. In addition, all governments have enacted special measures to protect the citizens. However, these measures seem to violate the protection of citizens' personal data and thus the question arises as to whether they are in line with ethics. However, the need to protect public health goes beyond the unethical nature of such measures, provided, of course, that only data relating to protection against Covid-19 will be processed. All the competent Health Services in each country give instructions for the better protection of the health personnel, the patients, but also of the citizens in general. Such Services in Greece are, among others, the National Organization of Public Health (N.O.P.H.) and the Panhellenic Medical Association (P.M.A.), as well as the local medical associations, such as the Medical Association of Thessaloniki (M.A.Th). But the issue was also addressed by United Europe, which has created special applications for mobile phones, which detect users' contacts and can warn them if they approached someone positive on Covid-19, so that they can then act

description: The variability and regularity of stride time may help identify individuals at a greater risk of injury during military load carriage. Wearable sensors could provide a cost-effective, portable solution for recording these measures, but establishing their validity is necessary. This study aimed to determine the agreement of several measures of stride time variability across five wearable sensors (Opal APDM, Vicon Blue Trident, Axivity, Plantiga, Xsens DOT) and force plates during military load carriage. Nineteen Australian Army trainee soldiers (age: 24.8 ± 5.3 years, height: 1.77 ± 0.09 m, body mass: 79.5 ± 15.2 kg, service: 1.7 ± 1.7 years) completed three 12-min walking trials on an instrumented treadmill at 5.5 km/h, carrying 23 kg of an external load. Simultaneously, 512 stride time intervals were identified from treadmill-embedded force plates and each sensor where linear (standard deviation and coefficient of variation) and non-linear (detrended fluctuation analysis and sample entropy) measures were obtained. Sensor and force plate agreement was evaluated using Pearson’s r and intraclass correlation coefficients. All sensors had at least moderate agreement (ICC > 0.5) and a strong positive correlation (r > 0.5). These results suggest wearable devices could be employed to quantify linear and non-linear measures of stride time variability during military load carriage.
Regularization of a backwards parabolic equation by fractional operators

description: The backwards diffusion equation is one of the classical ill-posed inverse problems, related to a wide range of applications, and has been extensively studied over the last 50 years. One of the first methods was that of {\it quasireversibility\/} whereby the parabolic operator is replaced by a differential operator for which the backwards problem in time is well posed. This is in fact the direction we will take but will do so with a nonlocal operator; an equation of fractional order in time for which the backwards problem is known to be ``almost well posed.'' We shall look at various possible options and strategies but our conclusion for the best of these will exploit the linearity of the problem to break the inversion into distinct frequency bands and to use a different fractional order for each. The fractional exponents will be chosen using the discrepancy principle under the assumption we have an estimate of the noise level in the data. An analysis of the method is provided as are some illustrative numerical examples.

description: On the basis of a coherent state representation of quantum noise operator and an ensemble averaging procedure a scheme for quantum Brownian motion has been proposed recently [Banerjee {\it et al}, Phys. Rev. E {\bf65}, 021109 (2002); {\bf66}, 051105 (2002)]. We extend this approach to formulate reactive flux theory in terms of quantum phase space distribution functions and to derive a time dependent quantum transmission coefficient - a quantum analogue of classical Kramers'-Grote-Hynes coefficient in the spirit of Kohen and Tannor's classical formulation. The theory is valid for arbitrary noise correlation and temperature. The specific forms of this coefficient in the Markovian as well as in the non-Markovian limits have been worked out in detail for intermediate to strong damping regime with an analysis of quantum effects. While the classical transmission coefficient is independent of temperature, its quantum counterpart has significant temperature dependence particularly in the low temperature regime.

description: We construct the 1- and 2-point integrable maps (Bäcklund transformations) for the symmetric Lagrange top. We show that the Lagrange top has the same algebraic Poisson structure that belongs to the $sl(2)$ Gaudin magnet. The 2-point map leads to a real time-discretization of the continuous flow. Therefore, it provides an integrable numerical scheme for integrating the physical flow. We illustrate the construction by few pictures of the discrete flow calculated in MATLAB.

description: A Cherenkov detector based on an array of five lead fluoride ($β$-PbF$_2$) crystals of size 30 mm$\times$30 mm$\times$160 mm read out by reverse-type avalanche photodiodes (APD's) of active area 10 mm$\times$10 mm was used to measure the flux of secondary particles emerging from the annihilation of pulsed beams of antiprotons at the Antiproton Decelerator of CERN. We compared the relative photon yields of radiators made of $β$-PbF$_2$, fused silica, UV-transparent acrylic, lead glass, and a lead-free, high-refractive-index glass. Some {\it p-i-n} photodiodes were also used for the readout, but the output signals were dominated by the nuclear counter effect (NCE) of secondary particles traversing the 300 $μ{\rm m}$ thick depletion regions of the photodiodes. Smaller NCE were observed with the APD's, as the maximum electronic gain in them occurred predominately for electron-ion pairs that were generated in the thin ${\it p}$-type semiconductor layer that proceeded the {\it p-n} junction of high electric field where amplification took place.

From Methodist Mission to Modern Hospital: The History of Steveston's Japanese Hospital, 1895-1942
Creators: name: Vandenberg, Helen
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: During its early history, the Japanese hospital in Steveston, British Columbia transformed from a small Methodist Mission Hospital to a modern medical facility. Unlike many other hospitals targeting non-White groups in British Columbia, it was the Japanese community itself that was responsible for this transition. The Japanese fishermen organized a subscription system and leadership board to establish and operate a modern hospital. The development of this unique institution was driven by broader cultural and political factors that reflected recent changes that occurred in Japan during the Meiji Restoration. During this period, Japan revolutionized and began a campaign of modernization and militarization, with the goal of becoming an imperial power equal to that of Western nations. These ideas were also utilized abroad as Japanese populations faced racism and exclusion from communities that supported the dominance of White-European culture. The Japanese hospital became a symbol of resistance for the Japanese community, an example of the success of Japanese populations in Canada. The history of the Japanese hospital in Steveston demonstrates that hospital development in Canada was not only shaped by medical advancement, professionalization of health care occupations or by state-driven initiatives, but also by the communities that established and maintained health care services during Canada’s early colonial history.

description: This paper empirically analyzes the impact of liquidity risk on key financial performance aspects of Islamic banks in the UAE. To document the association between liquidity risk and other performance ratios, time series data are taken for full-fledged Islamic banks working in the UAE from 2000 to 2014. Liquidity ratios and capital adequacy ratios, profitability ratios, and tangibility ratios are determined. Correlation and regression analyses are used to test the study hypotheses using SPSS. The findings indicate that capital adequacy and tangibility ratios are the main factors to determine liquidity risk of UAE Islamic banks. Furthermore, the results showed that the size of Islamic banks’ assets and capital adequacy had a positive and significant association with liquidity risk. Policymakers and Islamic finance experts should devote more attention to enhancing the base of Islamic finance assets to manage liquidity issues.

The calculated potential energy surfaces show a clear shape transition for the even-even Sm isotopes with $N = 82\sim 96$ and the critical point nuclei are found to be $^{148}$Sm, $^{150}$Sm and $^{152}$Sm. Similar conclusions can also be drawn from the microscopic neutron and proton single particle spectra.

description: The aim of the study was to determine effects aggressive/ conservative working capital policies have on the value creation. Data from 10 listed non-financial companies on the Ghana Stock Exchange spanning from 2004-2015 was used for this study. The study adopted quantitative research design applied to panel cointegration technique and panel fully modified ordinary least square methodology. The panel cointegration results indicated that there was a long-run equilibrium association between working capital variables and shareholders’ value creation. The panel FMOLS results indicated that aggressive current asset investment policies enhance market-to-book ratio in the long-run. On the other hand, conservative current asset financing policies enhance market-to-book ratio in the long-run. This study has two contributions. First, prior studies investigated the connection existing between components of working capital management and shareholder value creation without investigating the specific policies these firms are pursuing and their effect on the shareholders’ value creation. Second, this study employs a contemporary econometric methodology in analyzing the data.

description: The nature of dark matter sets the timeline for the formation of first collapsed halos and thus affects the sources of reionization. Here, we consider two different models of dark matter: cold dark matter (CDM) and thermal warm dark matter (WDM), and study how they impact the epoch of reionization (EoR) and its 21-cm observables. Using a suite of simulations, we find that in the WDM scenarios, the structure formation on small scales gets suppressed resulting in a smaller number of low mass dark matter halos compared to the CDM scenario. Assuming that the efficiency of sources in producing ionizing photons remain the same, this leads to a lower number of total ionizing photons produced at any given cosmic time and thus in a delay in the reionization process. We also find visual differences in the neutral hydrogen (HI) topology and in 21-cm maps in case of the WDM compared to the CDM. However, differences in the 21-cm power spectra, at the same neutral fraction, are found to be small. Thus, we focus on the non-Gaussianity in the EoR 21-cm signal, quantified through its bispectrum. We find that the 21-cm bispectra (driven by the HI topology) are significantly different in WDM models when compared with CDM, even for same mass averaged neutral fractions. This establishes that the 21-cm bispectrum is a unique and promising way to differentiate between different dark matter models, and can be used to constrain the nature of the dark matter in the future EoR observations.

description: Combining LiDAR and Camera-view data has become a common approach for 3D Object Detection. However, previous approaches combine the two input streams at a point-level, throwing away semantic information derived from camera features. In this paper we propose Cross-View Center Point-Fusion, a state-of-the-art model to perform 3D object detection by combining camera and LiDAR-derived features in the BEV space to preserve semantic density from the camera stream while incorporating spacial data from the LiDAR stream. Our architecture utilizes aspects from previously established algorithms, Cross-View Transformers and CenterPoint, and runs their backbones in parallel, allowing efficient computation for real-time processing and application. In this paper we find that while an implicitly calculated depth-estimate may be sufficiently accurate in a 2D map-view representation, explicitly calculated geometric and spacial information is needed for precise bounding box prediction in the 3D world-view space.

description: We measure the magnetic susceptibility of ultrathin Co films with an in-plane uniaxial magnetic anisotropy grown on a vicinal Cu substrate. Above the Curie temperature the influence of the magnetic anisotropy can be investigated by means of the parallel and transverse susceptibilities along the easy and hard axes. By comparison with a theoretical analysis of the susceptibilities we determine the isotropic exchange interaction and the magnetic anisotropy. These calculations are performed in the framework of a Heisenberg model by means of a many-body Green's function method, since collective magnetic excitations are very important in two-dimensional magnets.

description: We investigate the dynamics of linear perturbations in Keplerian flow under external stochastic force. To abstract from the details of flow structure and boundary conditions, we consider the problem in the shearing box approximation. An external force is assumed to have zero mean, even so, induced perturbations form a steady-state, which provides angular momentum transfer to the periphery of the flow. The most effective scenario is based on the transient amplification of induced vortices with the following emission of shearing sound wave, wherein the maximum of the flux linearly depends on Reynolds number. Thus such a mechanism is significant for astrophysical flows, for which enormous Reynolds numbers are typical. At the same time, addressing the problem analytically, we found that for incompressible fluid in the shearing box approximation stochastic forcing does not lead to average angular momentum transfer. Thus the compressibility of the fluid plays an important role here, and one cannot neglect it.

description: Habitable planets are often defined as terrestrial worlds capable of maintaining surface liquid water. As a result, atmospheric water vapor can be a critical indicator of habitability. Thus, habitability-themed exoplanet investigations emphasize detection of water vapor signatures for their targets. A variety of concept missions for exoplanet direct imaging in reflected light have seen recent study, including the HabEx and LUVOIR concepts. Here, it is important to understand how direct imaging in reflected light --- coupled with moderate-resolution spectroscopy --- could be used to detect various water vapor amounts in Earth-like exoplanetary atmospheres. To investigate water vapor detection for terrestrial exoplanets, we generated reflectance spectra over a grid of water vapor column masses and used an instrument model to explore requisite integration times for spectral feature detection at either visible or near-infrared wavelengths. Lower-resolution near-infrared spectroscopy is generally optimal for detecting water vapor in the atmospheres of Earth-like exoplanets when using direct imaging in reflected light. This holds true for dry or cold terrestrial planets, whose atmospheres would contain relatively little water vapor. Atmospheres richer in water vapor, such as planets undergoing a moist or runaway greenhouse, could have water vapor efficiently detected at visible wavelengths. Understanding details like an exoplanet's size, temperature, and location relative to the habitable zone can aid in determining appropriate wavelength ranges for atmospheric characterization. Overall, water vapor detection for Earth-like exoplanets is quite feasible for future direct imaging missions.

description: State space systems and experimental system identification are essential components of control education. Early introduction of these tools to the curriculum of a control laboratory in an interconnected and accessible manner that does not over-dilute the concepts is important in two ways. First, it facilitates a student's transition to more senior and graduate level control concepts. It also provides an effective link to industrial applications. This paper provides two novel experimental procedures for directly identifying the state space model of a DC motor in an undergraduate control laboratory. The procedures do not require any specialized hardware and can be performed using standard laboratory equipment. They also do not place any simplifying assumptions on the motor's model. The first procedure is based on direct pseudo inversion of the state space model. It does not require advanced knowledge of the state space approach or signal filtering. It is easy to understand and suits a first control laboratory. The second procedure is more efficient. It is based on the Markov approach commonly used for realizing, indirectly, a state space model from an estimated transfer function. While the procedure is designed for use by undergraduate students, it requires relatively advanced knowledge in state space that makes it suitable for a second undergraduate control laboratory.

description: The impact of fiscal deficit measured by deficit in national budget on the growth of respective economy has been a widely researched area with plenty of debatable results. Shedding light in search of the optimum level of budget deficit, the current paper tried to contribute to the field of literature on this issue which is perhaps inadequate as far as Bangladesh economy is concerned. A total of 40 years of time series data spanning form 1975 - 76 to 2014 - 15 has been employed. Identification of integration order of the variables was examined performing Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF), Phillips - Perron (PP) and Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) tests. Establishing the existence of cointegration among variables following the Johansen’s procedure, long run cointegrating vector has been estimated depending on VECM. The threshold has been identified solving the estimated long run cointegrating relationship for a local maximum. Findings can be summarized by saying that the long run impact of budget deficit on growth would remain positive; nevertheless, there would be no short run adjustment. Depending on the model definition and the particular exogenous variable(s), the threshold budget deficit has been measured to range between 4.55 to 5.0 percent of GDP.

description: In this work, we construct an exact projector Hamiltonian with interactions, which is given by a sum of mutually commuting operators called stabilizers. The model is based on the recently studied Creutz-ladder of fermions, in which flat-band structure and strong localization are realized. These stabilizers are local integrals of motion from which many-body localization (MBL) is realized. All energy eigenstates are explicitly obtained even in the presence of local disorders. All states are MBL states, that is, this system is a full many-body localized (FMBL) system. We show that this system has a topological order and stable gapless edge modes exist under the open boundary condition. By the numerical study, we investigate stability of the FMBL and topological order.

description: This study aimed to investigate the physiological, perceptual, and biomechanical differences between male and female soldiers across several military-relevant load and walking speed combinations. Eleven female and twelve male soldiers completed twelve 12 min walking trials at varying speeds (3.5 km·h−1, 5.5 km·h−1, 6.5 km·h−1) and with varying external loads (7.2 kg, 23.2 kg, 35.2 kg). Physiological (indirect calorimetry, heart rate), perceptual (perceived exertion), and biomechanical (spatiotemporal, kinematic, kinetic) outcomes were measured throughout each trial. Females had a lower aerobic capacity and lower body strength than males, which resulted in them working at a greater exercise intensity (%VO2peak and heart rate) but with a lower oxygen pulse. Females demonstrated higher breathing frequency and perceived exertion with specific loads. At selected loads and speeds, frontal and sagittal pelvis, hip, and knee motions and forces were greater for females. Females consistently displayed greater relative stride length and step width. In conclusion, this study demonstrates the importance of tailored interventions, periodisation, and nutritional strategies for female military personnel, given their higher relative work rate and increased injury risk during load carriage tasks. Understanding these differences is crucial for preparing female soldiers for the physical demands of military service.

description: The key objective of the study is to analyze the impact of global financial crisis on export in countries of SAARC region. For current empirical analysis, this study used a gravity model to investigate export of final goods from SAARC countries to high income countries during the period 2003 to 2014. The independent and dependent variables were used in the natural logarithm form of dummy variables. The geographical distance between capitals of trading partners and importer’s and exporter’s GDPs are used as standard independent variables. Consequently, this study includes their dummy variables demonstrating common official language, membership in regional trading agreements and financial crisis. Therefore, to examine the impact of last crisis, model comprises dummy variable (y2007, y2008, y2009 and y2010) representing critical years of study. Moreover, this study also used random effect approach which required that at least one assumption should be fulfilled which is zero correlation of independent variables. The current study concluded that financial markets of SAARC countries remained less vulnerable to financial crisis or bad-loan crisis because of having less exposure to subprime assets and high capital to risk assets ratio. However, trade of goods and services of the SAARC countries with the developed economy resulted in negative effects on most of the SAARC countries. Moreover, the study also revealed that financial crisis had serious repercussion for the other countries of the SAARC region due to lack of appropriate response and that a timely response by countries could save the prolonged negative influence of financial crisis.
No evidence for a different accretion mode for all 3CR FR I radio galaxies

description: We have analyzed the optical and radio properties of a sample of 3CR FR I radio galaxies which have Hubble Space Telescope imaging capable of detecting optical cores. The jet powers of the FR I radio galaxies are estimated from their low-frequency radio luminosities, and the optical core luminosity is taken as an upper limit on the emission from any unobscured accretion disc. We argue that if the accretion discs in these sources are assumed to be advection dominated accretion flows (ADAFs), or adiabatic inflow-outflow solution (ADIOS) flows, then the Blandford-Znajek mechanism (Blandford & Znajek 1977) provides insufficient power to explain the high radio luminosities of at least a third, and perhaps all, of the sample. We suggest instead that a significant fraction (the 'high-jet-power' third), and perhaps most, of the 3CR FR I radio galaxies have normal accretion discs, but that their optical cores can be hidden, with any HST-detected optical synchrotron emission coming from jets on scales larger than the obscuring material. A normal accretion disc hypothesis, at least for the high-jet-power third of the 3CR FR Is, explains why narrow-line luminosity correlates with radio luminosity. It also explains why one object in the sample (3C 386) has an observed broad-line nucleus. We conclude that there is no evidence to suggest that there is a difference in accretion mode between FR I and FR II radio galaxies.

description: A country’s political stability and trends in economic growth are important factors to attract foreign investment. Most developing countries struggle to achieve political stability and high levels of growth. Due to these issues, developing countries attract limited foreign investment. Applying the Bounds test for cointegration, an ARDL model was utilized using time series data from 1995 to 2016, this study examined the potential impact of political risk and gross domestic product (GDP) on foreign direct investment (FDI) flows to the South Africa. Findings of the study revealed that in both short and long run, political risk and economic growth affect the level of foreign direct investment. The political risk rating was found to have a higher impact on FDI flow if compared to GDP. The lower the political risk level (resulting in a highly rated index), the higher the level of FDI inflows. Using the Granger causality approach, empirical results indicated a bi-directional causal relationship between FDI and economic growth, while it was found that political risk causes changes in FDI. In other words, individually, political risk and gross domestic product cause changes in FDI. Based on the study findings, it is imperative for the South African government to reduce the level of political risk in order to increase foreign investment into the country which, in return, could assist in economic growth and welfare.
Self-Consistent Modification To The Electron Density Of States Due To Electron-Phonon Coupling In Metals

description: The "standard" theory of a normal metal consists of an effective electron band which interacts with phonons and impurities. The effects due to the electron-phonon interaction are often delineated within the Migdal approximation; the properties of many simple metals are reasonably well described with such a description. On the other hand, if the electron-phonon interaction is sufficiently strong, a polaron approach is more appropriate. The purpose of this paper is to examine to what degree the Migdal approximation is self-consistent, as the coupling strength increases. We find that changes in the electron density of states become significant for very large values of the coupling strength; however, there is no critical value, nor even a crossover regime where the Migdal approximation has become inconsistent. Moreover, the extent to which the electron band collapses is strongly dependent on the detailed characteristics of the phonon spectrum.

description: Chatbots’ growing popularity has brought new challenges to HCI, having changed the patterns of human interactions with computers. The increasing need to approximate conversational interaction styles raises expectations for chatbots to present social behaviors that are habitual in human–human communication. In this survey, we argue that chatbots should be enriched with social characteristics that cohere with users’ expectations, ultimately avoiding frustration and dissatisfaction. We bring together the literature on disembodied, text-based chatbots to derive a conceptual model of social characteristics for chatbots. We analyzed 56 papers from various domains to understand how social characteristics can benefit human–chatbot interactions and identify the challenges and strategies to designing them. Additionally, we discussed how characteristics may influence one another. Our results provide relevant opportunities to both researchers and designers to advance human–chatbot interactions.

description: This paper presents an assessment on the effect and consequences of burnout as a factor impacting premature sign-offs (PMSO) among internal auditors. Hence, questionnaires were sent to 187 internal auditors from Jordan to gather data. The data analysis results show the presence of some job burnout antecedents which are: ethical tension, role conflict, role ambiguity, and neuroticism personality trait. For internal auditors, job burnout can reduce the level of their job satisfaction. Meanwhile, dissatisfaction in the workplace among internal auditors, may increase negative behaviours including premature sign-offs.
