description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η αναλυτική παράθεση των κυριότερων εκφάνσεων και νομικών προβληματισμών επί των ειδικών ανακριτικών πράξεων των άρθρων 254 και 255 του ΚΠΔ, που σήμερα έχουν καταστεί από το νομοθέτη ίσως το σημαντικότερο και το συνηθέστερο στην πράξη εργαλείο για την εξάρθρωση εγκληματικών οργανώσεων και την εν γένει διερεύνηση σωρείας εγκληματικών συμπεριφορών. Η διενέργειά των ειδικών ανακριτικών πράξεων είναι μεν αναγκαία, ωστόσο είναι αναγκαία και επιβεβλημένη και η στάθμιση των σκοπιμοτήτων μιας αποτελεσματικής αντεγκληματικής πολιτικής και της συνταγματικής και δικονομικής νομιμότητας δια της οποίας προστατεύονται οι ατομικές ελευθερίες των πολιτών. Οποιαδήποτε λοιπόν κρατική παρέμβαση κρατική παρέμβαση για την καταπολέμηση των αναφερόμενων στο άρθρο 254 και 255 ΚΠΔ εγκλημάτων θα πρέπει να γίνεται με την απαραίτητη τήρηση των εγγυήσεων που ορίζει ο νόμος, καθόσον δεν είναι δυνατόν να θυσιάζονται για λόγους σκοπιμότητας τα δικαιώματα του κατηγορούμενου και κυρίως αυτό της παραπομπής του σε μια δίκαιη δίκη.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the detailed presentation of the main manifestations and legal considerations on the special investigative acts of articles 254 and 255 of the Criminal Procedure Code, which today have become by the legislator perhaps the most important and most common tool in practice for the dismantling of criminal organizations and investigates a host of criminal behaviors. The conduct of special investigations is necessary, but it is also necessary and imperative to balance the expediency of an effective anti-crime policy and the constitutional and procedural legality by which the individual freedoms of citizens are protected. Therefore, any state intervention to combat the crimes referred to in Articles 254 and 255 Criminal Procedure Code should be done with the necessary observance of the guarantees provided by law, as it is not possible to sacrifice for reasons of expediency the rights of the accused and especially that of his referral to a fair trial.

description: The local structure and chemical bonding in two-phase amorphous Cr$_{1-x}$C$_{x}$ nanocomposite thin films are investigated by Cr $K$-edge ($1s$) X-ray absorption near-edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopies in comparison to theory. By utilizing the computationally efficient \textit{stochastic quenching} (SQ) technique, we reveal the complexity of different Cr-sites in the transition metal carbides, highlighting the need for large scale averaging to obtain theoretical XANES and EXAFS spectra for comparison with measurements. As shown in this work, it is advantageous to use \textit{ab initio} theory as an assessment to correctly model and fit experimental spectra and investigate the trends of bond lengths and coordination numbers in complex amorphous materials. With sufficient total carbon content ($\geq$ 30 at\%), we find that the short-range coordination in the amorphous carbide phase exhibit similarities to that of a Cr$_{7}$C$_{3\pm{}y}$ structure, while excessive carbons assemble in the amorphous carbon phase.

description: Im Alltag als Psychomotoriktherapeutinnen treffen wir häufig Kinder mit grafomotorischen Schwierigkeiten an, welche wenig Motivation für die Arbeit am Tisch mit Stift und Blatt mitbringen. In dieser Arbeit wurde untersucht, ob es möglich ist, Kindern über ein neues Medium einen anderen Zugang zur Grafomotorik zu bieten. Dies im Rahmen einer theoretisch fundierten Ideensammlung, welche auf dem Einsatz von sinnesanregenden Lebensmitteln basiert. Durch die Aufarbeitung von Lern- und Motivationstheorien, therapeutischen Haltungen, sowie die Abstützung auf das Grafomotorische Komplexbild und den Lehrplan des Kantons Zürich, sind 18 Übungen entstanden, welche deutlich machen, dass dies möglich ist. Offen bleibt die Evaluation der Wirksamkeit der Übungen in der Praxis.

description: Taking into account simultaneously the Vicsek short range ordering and also the far-field hydrodynamic interactions mediated by the ambient fluid, we investigate the role of long range interactions in the ordering phenomena in a quasi 2-dimensional active suspension. By studying the number fluctuations, the velocity correlation functions and cluster size distribution function, we observe that depending on the number density of swimmers and the strength of noise, the hydrodynamic interactions affect the ordering in a suspension. For a fixed value of noise, at large density of particles, long range interactions enhance the clustering in the system.

Year: 2006

description: One of the goals of global program on immunization for the last two decades has been to reach all children of the world with vaccination services. Though the program aimed to reach all children of the world, around three million children still die each year from vaccine preventable disease. These deaths mostly occur in developing countries where health systems may be weak and less able to cope with an overwhelming set of health problem. Moreover, in previous time much of the attention was given to increase the EPI coverage, but now the expanded program on immunization (EPI) is placing emphasis on the quality of the services and a review of existing literature strongly suggests that the quality of service provided is an important determinant of acceptance and compliance with the service. In Ethiopia, some of the important factors that impede progress towards the achievement of the expected EPI coverage are; poor staff motivation, infrequent in-services training and inadequate supervision, and most EPI service evaluation focused on achievements of coverage and give less regard to the quality of services. Therefore, this health service based cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out to assess the quality of EPI service in Oromia Zone of Amhara National Regional State. Health institutions were selected based on simple random sampling technique and level of client satisfaction was assed by interviewing mothers /caretakers at the exit site of the selected health institutions after taken the immunization service. Data from the health vii institutions were taken by Observing cold chain system, interview with immunization service providers and inventory of logistics. The result showed that 422 (93.7%) of mothers/ caretakers were satisfied with the quality of the services. Out of the nine selected health institutions, three (33.3%) had no refrigerator, all service providers working in the selected health institutions have adequate knowledge on immunization activities, and most health institutions were not supervised for the last 6 months. Adjusted Odds ratio results from multiple logistic regression for mothers /care takers satisfaction suggested that waiting time, history of facing problem after taking vaccination and discussion with health workers during immunization sessions were found to be significant determinants of mothers'/care takers satisfaction towards EPI services. Generally, the quality of EPI service in the study area was found to be good but for a generalization to be made, further studies has to be made with large sample size at regional and national level to assess the quality of the programme

description: Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit Fragen nach Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten, welche von Eltern von Kindern mit frühkindlichem Autismus erhalten oder gewünscht werden. Konkret wird dabei auch auf die Logopädie und dazugehörige Fragen eingegangen, ob die Kinder bereits logopädische Unterstützung erhalten und ob die Eltern diesbezüglich noch offene Wünsche haben. Neben einer umfassenden Information über frühkindlichen Autismus, verschiedene autismusspezifische Therapien und die Bedeutung der Elternarbeit in diesem Kontext – jeweils auch in Bezug auf die Logopädie –, werden die Ergebnisse aus den Interviews mit den Eltern aufgeführt. Nach einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse wird schliesslich diskutiert, was diese Ergebnisse für die Logopädie bedeuten. In vielen Bereichen werden bereits Unterstützungen wahrgenommen, wobei mancherorts noch Wünsche offen sind. Auch in der logopädischen Arbeit mit Kindern mit frühkindlichem Autismus gibt es noch Chancen.
The Impact of HIV/AIDS on Labor Productivity: Akaki Fibre Products Factory, Akaki, Ethiopia

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2001

description: HIV/AIDS has become a full-blown development crisis affecting all sectors of the economy. The industrial sector is one of the severely hit sectors in Africa. AIDSrelated illnesses and deaths of employees affect an enterprise by both decreasing production (e.g., absenteeism, decrease of production while at work) and increasing expenditures (e.g., health care costs, burial fees and training and recruitment of replacement employees). This is a report of a study that attempted to estimate the changes in worker's output and attendance associated with advancing HIV infection, and to determine direct costs incurred by a fibre products factory due to illness and death related to HIV/AIDS. The study subjects were factory workers enrolled in a cohort study of HIV incidence and progression in Akaki since February 1997. Laboratory data (HIV serological status, CD4, viral load) at enrolment were matched with factory records on individual worker's productivity (as measured by incentive payments) and sick leaves taken during the study period. Among a total of 797 workers in job category with incentive payment, 676 participants were included for the study. Of these, 86 (12.7%) were HIV infected with a mean age of 36 years. The mean incentive earnings have no significant difference between HIV positives and negatives at baseline (in 1997). However, in the following years (1998,1999 and 2000) the incentive earnings of HIV positives were significantly lower than the incentive earnings of HIV negatives. In 2000 HIV infected workers earned significantly less incentive (mean = 51.77 Eth. Birr) than those who are not infected (mean =79.77 Eth. Birr). In addition the mean sick leave days per year were significantly greater in HIV positives than HIV negatives both at baseline and after four years. HIV positives were given 64% and 8 81% more sick leaves than HIV negatives in 1997 and 2000 respectively. In conclusion, this study has shown that there is a direct negative impact of HIV infection on the productivity of factory workers.

description: Background: Breast cancer is the most common among developed and developing countries. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1.3 million women diagnosed with breast cancer annually worldwide. The high breast cancer mortality rate in Sub-Saharan Africa has been attributed to a lack of public awareness of the disease which often leads to late diagnosis of the disease. Objective: This study was to assess the knowledge; attitude and practice of breast self examination of female undergraduate students age 30 years and below of College of Natural and Computational Science College of Addis Ababa University Addis Ababa, 2015 Methods: A cross-sectional study design was conducted from Feb, 2015 to June, 2015 in College of Natural and Computational Science of Addis Ababa University on randomly selected under graduate female students. Simple Random Sampling technique was used to recruit 662 female undergraduate students. Data entered using EPI-INFO version 3.5.3 and analysis carried out using SPSS Version 20. Bivariate analysis was used and then entered to multiple logistic regressions model and significant variable were identified on the basis of OR, with 95% CI. Results: In this study, 597 study subjects involved making a response rate of 90.2%. About 24.49% of the participants had good knowledge of breast self examination while 29.50% of the informants had good attitude about BSE. Of the total participants, 25.96% reported that they are practicing of breast self examination in the last 12months. Conclusion: In general, the KAP of the participants were 24.49%, 29.5% and 25.9% respectively. This finding showed that the participants had poor KAP toward BSE. Therefore, Universities and other stake holders should plan to promote provision of information, education and communication targeting young females, and the general community to increase awareness to ward breast self examination

description: Η παρούσα μελέτη έχει ως αντικείμενο την καλή νομοθέτηση και ειδικότερα την ελληνική πολιτική καλής νομοθέτησης. Εισαγωγικά, ο νόμος ορίζεται ως το κατεξοχήν εργαλείο της διακυβέρνησης των κρατών και εξηγείται η σημασία του, νομική και πολιτική, για το σύγχρονο κράτος δικαίου. Στη συνέχεια, οριοθετούνται εννοιολογικά τα προβλήματα της νομοθετικής παραγωγής στην Ελλάδα, δίνοντας έμφαση στις θετικές και αρνητικές όψεις των βασικών δικαιοπαραγωγικών διαδικασιών. Έπειτα, καταγράφονται οι συνέπειες της κακής νομοθέτησης για τους πολίτες, τη δημόσια διοίκηση και τη δικαιοσύνη. Μεταξύ των αρνητικών αποτελεσμάτων ιδιαίτερη θέση κατέχει η λεγόμενη ανασφάλεια δικαίου. Ακολουθεί η παρουσίαση της ελληνικής πολιτικής καλής νομοθέτησης μέχρι και την ψήφιση του Ν. 4622/2019. Παράλληλα, αναδεικνύεται η ευρωπαϊκή διάσταση του ζητήματος της ποιότητας των κανόνων δικαίου. Η μελέτη ολοκληρώνεται με τη διατύπωση των συμπερασμάτων. Ο συγγραφέας, με εμφανώς απαισιόδοξη διάθεση και έντονο προβληματισμό για το μέλλον της ελληνικής νομοθεσίας, επισημαίνει την ανάγκη της συνειδητοποίησης της φύσης των παθογενειών και του καθορισμού θεσμικών προτεραιοτήτων.
description: This thesis addresses better regulation through analyzing greek better regulation policy. The starting point of this analysis is legislation as the main policy-making tool. Special issues discussed are problems concerning legislative production (focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of greek legislative procedures) and bad regulation’s impact on citizens, public administration and justice. The analysis delves into legal uncertainty, which exemplifies a major problem of greek legislation. The most important part of this study is the overview of better regulation policy in Greece until the Act 4622 of 2019. Regulatory quality is also examined through european perspective. The conclusions justify the author’s pessimism and his concern for the future. Therefore, he emphasizes the need to identify the problems and set institutional priorities, as a prerequisite for improvement.

description: Στη παρούσα εργασία εξετάζονται τα κοινωνικά φαινόμενα της Εκκοσμίκευσης και της Ύστερης Νεωτερικότητας. Η Εκκοσμίκευση ως κυρίως ευρωπαϊκό φαινόμενο αποτέλεσε το υπόστρωμα της Ύστερης Νεωτερικότητας. Η διχοτόμηση της κοινωνίας σε δημόσια και ιδιωτική σφαίρα μαζί με τον ορθολογισμό, τη θρησκευτική αδιαφορία, τον μετανθρωπισμό και την ιδιώτευση θέτουν νέες βάσεις στις ζωές των ανθρώπων, όπου οι αλλεπάλληλες αναδιαμορφώσεις προκαλούν σύγχυση και αβεβαιότητα. Παρούσα σε αυτήν την σύγχρονη εκκοσμικευμένη πραγματικότητα είναι η Ορθόδοξη Εκκλησία, η οποία έρχεται αντιμέτωπη με τις σύγχρονες προκλήσεις της Ύστερης Νεωτερικότητας. Σε μία εποχή διάχυτης θρησκευτικότητας, καλείται να διαλεχθεί και να αναπτύξει την ποιμαντική της δράση και την κοινωνική διδασκαλία της σε ένα νέο κόσμο, καθώς και να συνυπάρξει με τη νεωτερικότητα.
description: In present study analised the social phenomena of Secularization and Late Modernity. Secularization as a european phenomenon is the base of Late Modernity. The division of society into two domains, the public and the private, along with the rise of rationalization, religious indifference, posthumanity, and privatization, lays new foundation in people’s lives, where successive reconfigurations cause confusion and uncertainty. The Orthodox Church is also present in this modern secularized reality, facing the current challenges of Late Modernity. In this spirit of diffuse religiosity, Orthodoxy is called to discourse and develop pastoral action and social teaching in a new world, as well as to coexist with modernity.

description: Der vorliegende Text ist ein arbeitspsychologischer Forschungsbeitrag zum International Year of Volunteering. Durchgeführt wurde eine qualitative Organisationsanalyse bzw. -beschreibung. Dabei handelte es sich um Organisationen, die aufgrund von Eigeninitiative gemeinwohlorientierte Aufgaben übernommen und freiwillige Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter einbezogen haben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen deutlich, dass sich vier Beschreibungsdimensionen (sinnerzeugende ureigene Idee; Sensibilität gegenüber Zeitfragen; Sensibilität für innere soziale Prozesse; produktiver Umgang mit Hindernissen) herauskristallisieren lassen. Gelingt es den jeweiligen Organisationen, diese vier Beschreibungsdimen-sionen gut auf einander abzustimmen und eine Balance zwischen Beständigkeit (Vermittlung der ureigenen Idee) und Wandel über die Zeit hinweg (Austausch und Nähe zur Basis) herzustellen, dann kann von Good Practice gesprochen werden. Good Practice meint, dass es der Organisation bzw. Initiativen gelungen ist, Sinnprägnanz herzustellen: Sinnprägnanz in einem Ausmaß, wie es marktorientierten Unternehmen nicht gelingt.
description: This text is meant to be a work psychological contribution to the International Year of Volunteering. By applying a qualitative methodology an analysis of organizational processes has been realized and that has involved employees on a voluntary basis for realizing these tasks. The results clearly show that four descriptive dimensions may be sorted out: the elaborations of own ideas as a basis for sound sense making, a sensibility of issues concerning the actual societal discourse, a sensitivity of internal social processes and productive strategies in dealing with obstacles. If the organizations succeed in coordinating these four dimensions and in creating a balance between continuity (mediation of own ideas) and change in the course of time (in close contact and exchange with the organizational basis) one may speak of Good Practice. When speaking of Good Practice we refer to a balanced process between continuity and change wich allows bringing about concise sense making, a process that market oriented organizations have difficulties in dealing with.

description: Ob der Besuch einer Kindertagesstätte einen positiven Beitrag zur Wortschatzentwicklung des Kindes leistet, ist in der Schweiz wenig erforscht. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich daher mit der Frage, welchen Einfluss der Besuch einer KiTa vor dem Kindergarteneintritt auf den aktiven Wortschatz von Kindergartenkindern hat. Dazu wurde der aktive Wortschatz von 48 Erstkindergartenkindern im Alter von 3,10 bis 5,5 Jahren mittels AWST-R 3-5 erhoben. An der Untersuchung nahmen 35 Kinder, die vor dem Kindergarteneintritt eine Tagesstätte besucht hatten, und 13, die in keiner solchen Einrichtung betreut wurden, teil. Das Ergebnis dieser Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Gruppe der Kinder, die eine Kindertagestätte besucht haben, ein leicht besseres Gesamtergebnis im AWST-R 3-5 erzielten als die Vergleichsgruppe. Dieser Unterschied ist jedoch nicht signifikant. Für die getesteten Kinder bedeutet dies, dass es bezüglich des aktiven Wortschatzes keine Rolle spielt, ob sie in einer Kindertagesstätte betreut wurden oder nicht.

description: In a recent paper [Ghasemi-Nodehi & Bambi, EPJC 76 (2016) 290], we have proposed a new parametrization for testing the Kerr nature of astrophysical black hole candidates. In the present work, we study the possibility of constraining the "Kerr parameters" of our proposal using X-ray reflection spectroscopy, the so-called iron line method. We simulate observations with the LAD instrument on board of the future eXTP mission assuming an exposure time of 200~ks. We fit the simulated data to see if the Kerr parameters can be constrained. If we have the correct astrophysical model, 200~ks observations with LAD/eXTP can constrain all the Kerr parameters with the exception of $b_{11}$, whose impact on the iron line profile is extremely weak and its measurement looks very challenging.

description: Background: The professional practice in a high risk critical care setting requires knowledge, skills, clinical experience and problem-solving abilities to assess monitor and effectively respond to the needs of critically ill patients. In addition, little is known regarding knowledge of nurses' working in the intensive care, concerning prevention guidelines and its application during the provision of patient care in the ICU. The Gaps between knowledge and actual clinical practice have not been sufficiently studied and needs further research which will contribute to the quality of care and improvement of critical patient's outcome. Objective: this study aims to assess the knowledge and practice of nurses working in the ICU towards prevention of VAP at selected Hospital Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2015. Methods: Study was conducted in five randomly selected governmental hospitals at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Descriptive cross sectional study design were employed on all 117 nurses working in the ICU in respected hospitals. Data Analysis Descriptive and inferential statistics were utilized to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics included frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation. Chi square test was utilized to determine association of selected variables. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 200. Results: The current study revealed that, Most of the studied sample 60.7% had satisfactory level of knowledge and 53.3% had Good level of practice regarding VAP prevention measures with a total mean score of (15.97 ± 3.23) and (15.47+2.029) respectively. Significant association was found in knowledge between participants with different education level as found (p = 0.0.041), age groups (p = 0.008), sex of participant (p=0.023) and between participants with different years of ICU working experience (p< 0.001). No significant association was found regarding nurses' practice (p=>0.05) except sex was found (p-0.010). Conclusion and recommendation: Most Nurses work in critical care unit of the five hospitals are knowledgeable and have good practical performance regarding prevention of VAP, However, significant number of nurses 39% and 47% lacked knowledge and practice respectively. So updating knowledge and practice of nurses through Education and training would help to improving the quality of nursing care and also keep nurse's knowledge and practice consistence.

description: Schulhunde beeinflussen das Lernen der Kinder positiv. Sie werden erfolgreich im Lese- und Konzentrationstraining eingesetzt. Es stellt sich die Frage, inwiefern sich die positiven Effekte des Schulhundes auch in der (sonder-)pädagogischen Frühförderung im Bereich Mathematik nutzen lassen. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Forschungsarbeit ist es, die Möglichkeiten und die Grenzen der mathematischen Frühförderung mit dem Schulhund aus Sicht von Schulischen Heilpädagog*innen aufzuzeigen. Um das Ziel zu erreichen, wurde eine qualitative Forschung durchgeführt. Dabei wurden Schulische Heilpädagog*innen mit Erfahrungen im Bereich der mathematischen Frühförderung mit Schulhund befragt. Die Auswertung der qualitativen Forschung zeigt, dass der Schulhund als Alternative zu den herkömmlichen Lernformen in der mathematischen Frühförderung eingesetzt werden kann und einen nutzbringenden Einfluss auf das Lernen der Kinder in der Mathematik zu haben scheint.

description: Based on mesoscale lattice Boltzmann simulations with the "Shan-Chen" model, we explore the influence of thermocapillarity on the break-up properties of fluid threads in a microfluidic T-junction, where a dispersed phase is injected perpendicularly into a main channel containing a continuous phase, and the latter induces periodic break-up of droplets due to the cross-flowing. Temperature effects are investigated by switching on/off both positive/negative temperature gradients along the main channel direction, thus promoting a different thread dynamics with anticipated/delayed break-up. Numerical simulations are performed at changing the flow-rates of both the continuous and dispersed phases, as well as the relative importance of viscous forces, surface tension forces and thermocapillary stresses. The range of parameters is broad enough to characterize the effects of thermocapillarity on different mechanisms of break-up in the confined T-junction, including the so-called "squeezing" and "dripping" regimes, previously identified in the literature. Some simple scaling arguments are proposed to rationalize the observed behaviour, and to provide quantitative guidelines on how to predict the droplet size after break-up.

Κάθε σύστημα ταξινόμησης τροφίμου σύμφωνα με την διατροφική του σύσταση με σκοπό την πρόληψη ασθενειών και την προώθηση της υγείας, ορίζεται ως διατροφικό μοντέλο (Nutrient Profile Model, NPM).Στην εργασία αυτή, έγινε αξιολόγηση των έτοιμων δημητριακών πρωινού (Ready-To-Eat-Cereals, RTECs) που εντοπίστηκαν σε καταστήματα των τεσσάρων νομών της Δυτικής Μακεδονίας βασιζόμενοι στο διατροφικό εργαλείο που σχεδίασε ο Παγκόσμιος Οργανισμός Υγείας (ΠΟΥ) για τις Ευρωπαϊκές χώρες (WHO/Europe-NPM). Αρχικά, έγινε έρευνα της τήρησης ή όχι των δημητριακών πρωινού, βιολογικών και μη, των συστάσεων του WHO/Europe-NPM ως προς την περιεκτικότητα τους σε ολικά λίπη, ολικά σάκχαρα και αλάτι. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν ότι το 74,9% των δημητριακών πρωινού που καταγράφηκαν (βιολογικά και μη) δεν είναι σύμφωνο με τις συστάσεις του WHO/Europe-NPM σε ένα από τα τρία συστατικά τουλάχιστον τα οποία λαμβάνονται υπόψη από το μοντέλο (ολικά λιπαρά, ολικά σάκχαρα, αλάτι).Βασικότερος παράγοντας διαφοροποίησης μεταξύ της κατανάλωσης ή μη έτοιμων δημητριακών πρωινού (RTECs) είναι η ηλικιακή ομάδα (p=0.030).
description: Introduction: To achieve the prevention of obesity (mainly childhood) and non-communicable diseases (Non-Communicable Diseases, NCDs) (cardiovascular disease, diabetes, neoplasms), public health institutions have developed a nutritional model. Each food classification system according to its nutritional recommendation for the purpose of disease prevention and health promotion, is defined as a nutritional model (Nutrient Profile Model, NPM).This study evaluated Ready-To-Eat-Cereals (RTECs) found in stores in the four prefectures of Western Macedonia based on the World Health Organization (WHO) design tool for European countries. / Europe-NPM).Initially, research was conducted on whether or not breakfast cereals, organic and non-organic, comply with WHO / Europe-NPM recommendations for their total fat, total sugars and salt content.The results showed that 74.9% of the breakfast cereals recorded (organic and non-organic) did not comply with the WHO / Europe-NPM recommendations in at least one of the three components taken into account by the model (total fat, total sugars, salt).The main factor of differentiation between consumption or unprepared breakfast cereals (RTECs) is the age group (p = 0.030).

description: Brownian dynamics simulations are used to study the detachment of a particle from a substrate. Although the model is simple and generic, we attempt to map its energy, length and time scales onto a specific experimental system, namely a bead that is weakly bound to a cell and then removed by an optical tweezer. The external driving force arises from the combined optical tweezer and substrate potentials, and thermal fluctuations are taken into account by a Brownian force. The Jarzynski equality and Crooks' fluctuation theorem are applied to obtain the equilibrium free energy difference between the final and initial states. To this end, we sample non--equilibrium work trajectories for various tweezer pulling rates. We argue that this methodology should also be feasible experimentally for the envisioned system. Furthermore, we outline how the measurement of a whole free energy profile would allow the experimentalist to retrieve the unknown substrate potential by means of a suitable deconvolution. The influence of the pulling rate on the accuracy of the results is investigated, and umbrella sampling is used to obtain the equilibrium probability of particle escape for a variety of trap potentials.

description: Στόχος της παρούσας εργασίας είναι να μελετήσει το ζήτημα της χρήσης διαδραστικών συστημάτων στο πλαίσιο της μουσικής εκπαίδευσης και τον τρόπο με τον οποίο μπορούν να λειτουργήσουν ως εργαλεία μάθησης, ανάπτυξης ικανοτήτων και δημιουργικής έκφρασης. Αρχικά, επιδιώκεται ο σχεδιασμός απλών απτών διεπαφών με τη βοήθεια της ηλεκτρονικής πλακέτας Makey Makey και διάφορων αγώγιμων αντικειμένων, ώστε να παρουσιάζουν ή να ελέγχουν ποικίλες μουσικές παραμέτρους. Σε επόμενο στάδιο, διενεργείται διδακτική παρέμβαση με σκοπό μαθητές ωδειακής εκπαίδευσης και ηλικιών 8-11 ετών να έρθουν σε επαφή με καινούργιες διδακτικές μεθόδους και ιδέες και να αναπτύξουν τις μουσικές τους δεξιότητες μέσα σε ένα δημιουργικό περιβάλλον μάθησης. Ο μαθησιακός στόχος αφορά την καλλιέργεια και ανάπτυξη των ακουστικών ικανοτήτων και ειδικότερα εξετάζεται η ακουστική πρόσληψη τονικού ύψους, ρυθμικών αξιών και ηχοχρωμάτων. Μέσα από την πραγματοποίηση κατάλληλων διαδικασιών αξιολόγησης της αλληλεπίδρασης των χρηστών με τις απτές διεπαφές, επιδιώκεται η διερεύνηση της συμβολής αυτού του εναλλακτικού τρόπου διδασκαλίας στην ανάπτυξη των ακουστικών ικανοτήτων των εκπαιδευομένων αλλά και της διατήρησης του ενδιαφέροντος τους κατά τον έλεγχο των ακουστικών ικανοτήτων (μάθημα Dictee)
description: The aim of the current research is to study the use of interactive systems in musical education and the way they can function as tools for learning, skills development and creative expression. Initially, the design of simple tangible interfaces is pursued by the use of the electronic board Makey Makey and diverse conductive items in order to exhibit or control various musical parameters. In the next experimental stage, a teaching intervention is conducted aiming to bring conservatory education students aged 8-11 into contact with new teaching methods and ideas and to develop their musical skills in a creative teaching environment. The learning goal focuses on promoting and further developing the acoustic abilities and more specifically to examine the aural perception of pitch, rhythm and timbre. Using appropriate assessment procedures of the interaction between users and the tangible interfaces, it is intended to investigate the role of this alternative teaching method in the aural skills development of students as well as the capturing of their interest during the control of the acoustic abilities (Dictee lesson)

description: A retrospective review of financial documents, cards and/or registration books of HIV/AIDS clients/patients served/treated in Dil chora Hospital for one year and health workers death information in the last ten years was conducted to assess the impacts of HIV/AIDS on the public sector health care services in Dire Dawa Administrative Council. There were a total of 809 HIV/AIDS service users at Dil chora Hospital from July 2002 to June 2003 out of which 206(25.5%) were HIV test positive. Majority of the HIV test positives and patients treated for opportunistic infections were between the age group of 15 to 50 years. The jobless, illiterate, widowed and divorced were more likely to test positive. The health care system subsidized greater proportion of HIV/AIDS services: only 3.6% and 7.9% of expenditure on VCT and treatment of opportunistic infections were recovered from user fees respectively. Admission of one patient with AIDS case barred on average admissions of two patients with other causes. The record of 16 health care worker's died of any cause has been found in the last ten years: 75% of them were males, the mean age at death was 31.18 years and 81.25% were health assistants. This study indicated that HIV/AIDS is: directing health care resources to prime age adults (15 to 50 years of age), blocking other patients from in-patient health care. And health care workers are dying prematurely from any cause. Lastly, ascertaining that all segments of the population are reached by IEC, properly targeting subsidy and looking for other possible ways of caring for AIDS cases, and ensuring health care workers safety at work are worth recommending. Key words: HIV/AIDS, cost, impact, public sector, health care.
