description: Η αξιολόγηση του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού, αποτελεί ένα ισχυρό εργαλείο στα
χέρια κάθε οργανισμού στον ιδιωτικό ή τον Δημόσιο Τομέα καθώς βοηθά στην
ανάδειξη λαθών, κακής διαχείρισης πόρων, αλλά και τον εντοπισμό του καλύτερου
προσωπικού, μέσα από την μοντελοποίηση των απαιτήσεων του οργανισμού, γεγονός που μπορεί να βελτιστοποιήσει την απόδοσή του και να βοηθήσει στην βέλτιστη αξιοποίησή του. Στα υγιή και πετυχημένα συστήματα διοίκησης ανθρώπινου δυναμικού, η αξιολόγηση καταρχήν συνδέεται με την προσωπική ανάπτυξη και βελτίωση των στελεχών. Συνδυάζει στοιχεία αυτοαξιολόγησης και αξιολόγησης από υφισταμένους, συναδέλφους και προϊσταμένους. Ωστόσο, κατά καιρούς και στο πλαίσιο της άνθισης της Διοικητικής Επιστήμης, έχουν αναπτυχθεί πολλά Συστήματα Αξιολόγησης, που εξυπηρετούν κάθε φορά διαφορετικό σκοπό και προσαρμόζονται στις ανάγκες του εκάστοτε Οργανισμού. Στην παρούσα Μεταπτυχιακή Εργασία θα διερευνηθούν και μελετηθούν τα ήδη υπάρχοντα σύστημα αξιολόγησης και θα καταγραφούν οι στόχοι, οι μέθοδοι και τα κριτήρια αξιολόγησης ενώ στη συνέχεια χρησιμοποιώντας τα εξαγόμενα συμπεράσματα της ανωτέρω έρευνας θα γίνει προσπάθεια να αναπτυχθεί μια νέα πολυκριτήρια μεθοδολογία αξιολόγησης η οποία θα λαμβάνει υπόψη το προφίλ του στόχου, το τρέχον προφίλ του αξιολογούμενου και θα επισημαίνει τα χαρακτηριστικά βελτίωσης προκειμένου να επιτευχθούν οι στόχοι της αξιολόγησης.

description: Tracking biotic association claims across platforms, collections, and institutions. Biotic associations are all around us: parasites bug their hosts, pollinators visit flowers, and predators eat their prey. Natural history collections contain evidence supporting these claims. And, their associated specimen/data are often stored in different physical/digital locations. For instance, the Museum of Southern Biology Parasite Collection not only links to host records in their own mammal, bird, and fish collections, but also to University of Alaska Museum's Mammal Collection, Northern Michigan University Museum of Zoology's Mammal Collection, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, UC Berkeley's Mammal Collection and more. How does Global Biotic Interactions (GloBI, https://globalbioticinteractions.org) keep track of evidence supporting these biotic associations claims across platforms, collections and institutions?

description: Leading theories for the presence of plate tectonics on Earth typically appeal to the role of present day conditions in promoting rheological weakening of the lithosphere. However, it is unknown whether the conditions of the early Earth were favorable for plate tectonics, or any form of subduction, and thus how subduction begins is unclear. Using physical models based on grain-damage, a grainsize-feedback mechanism capable of producing plate-like mantle convection, we demonstrate that subduction was possible on the Hadean Earth (hereafter referred to as proto-subduction or proto-plate tectonics), that proto-subduction differed from modern day plate tectonics, and that it could initiate rapidly. Scaling laws for convection with grain-damage show that, though either higher mantle temperatures or higher surface temperatures lead to slower plates, proto-subduction, with plate speeds of $\approx 1.75$ cm/yr, can still be maintained in the Hadean, even with a CO$_2$ rich primordial atmosphere. Furthermore, when the mantle potential temperature is high (e.g. above $\approx 2000$ K), the mode of subduction switches to a "sluggish subduction" style, where downwellings are drip-like and plate boundaries are diffuse. Finally, numerical models of post-magma ocean mantle convection demonstrate that proto-plate tectonics likely initiates within $\sim100$ Myrs of magma ocean solidification, consistent with evidence from Hadean zircons. After the initiation of proto-subduction, non-plate-tectonic "sluggish subduction" prevails, giving way to modern style plate tectonics as both the mantle interior and climate cool. Hadean proto-subduction may hasten the onset of modern plate tectonics by drawing excess CO$_2$ out of the atmosphere and cooling the climate.

description: We have examined the spatial and polarimetric properties of these events using a variety of data from the Hinode spacecraft. We have also inferred the atmospheric stratification of the physical parameters by means of the inversion of the observed Stokes profiles employing the Stokes Inversion based on Response functions (SIR) code. Finally, we analyzed their evolution using a time series from the same instrument. Blue-shifted events tend to appear over bright regions at the edge of granules, while red-shifted events are seen predominantly over dark regions on intergranular lanes. Large linear polarization signals can be seen in the region that connects them. The magnetic structure inferred from the time series revealed that the structure corresponds to a $Ω$-loop, with one footpoint always over the edge of a granule and the other inside an intergranular lane. The physical parameters obtained from the inversions of the observed Stokes profiles in both events show an increase with respect to the Harvard-Smithonian reference atmosphere in the temperature at $\logτ_{500} \in (-1, -3)$ and a strong magnetic field, $B \ge 1$ kG, at the bottom of the atmosphere that quickly decreases upward until vanishing at $\logτ_{500} \approx -2$. In the blue-shifted events, the line of sight velocities change from upflows at the bottom to downflows at the top of the atmosphere. Red-shifted events display the opposite velocity stratification. The change of sign in line of sight velocity happens at the same optical depth in which the magnetic field becomes zero. The physical mechanism that best explains the inferred magnetic field configuration and flow motions is a siphon flow along an arched magnetic flux tube. Further investigation is required however, as the expected features of a siphon flow cannot be unequivocally identified.

On quasi-infinite divisibility, limit theorems and signatures

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: In this thesis we investigate three main interconnected topics that lie in the interface between probability theory and mathematical statistics. They are quasi-infinite divisibility, limit theorems and signatures. Concerning quasi-infinite divisibility, we present numerous results on quasi-infinitely divisible (QID) distributions, processes and random measures. Lindner, Pan and Sato in \cite{LPS} show that QID distributions are dense in the space of all probability distributions with respect to weak convergence. We start our presentation with the results on QID random measures. In particular, we prove spectral representations, we build stochastic integral using them, and show necessary and sufficient conditions for their integrability. Then, we present several results on QID stochastic processes, including various spectral representations. The results presented in this chapter, namely Chapter \ref{Chaper-Quasi-infinite divisibility}, have been subsequently published in the article \cite{Pass-QID} and constitute the fundamental basis for the ongoing work \cite{Pass}, where it is proved that QID random measures are dense in the space of completely random measures under convergence in distribution. Concerning limit theorems, we present two main collection of results. In the first one, we derive some necessary and sufficient conditions for stationary ID multivariate random fields to be mixing. As an example we show that mixed moving average fields are mixing. In the second one, the main result is a central limit theorem for the multivariate Brownian semistationary (BSS) process. In particular, we study the joint asymptotic behaviour of its realised covariation using in-fill (\textit{i.e.}~high-frequency) asymptotics. For this central limit theorem we provide examples and feasible results, namely results that can be computed directly from data. These two collections of results will constitute the content of the works \cite{Pass-Mixing} and \cite{Pass-BSS}. Finally, we focus on the signature of the fractional Brownian motion (fBm) with Hurst parameter $H>\frac{1}{2}$. The signature of a $d$-dimensional fBm is a sequence of iterated Stratonovich integrals along the paths of the fBm. We provide a bound for the expected signature of the fBm and show the rate of convergence of the expected signature of the linear piecewise approximation of the fBm to its exact value. Further, we present the general cubature method for the fBm with $H>\frac{1}{2}$ for small times. The cubature method is a numerical deterministic method based on signatures for the approximation of the expected solution of certain SDEs. These results will be published in the work \cite{Pass-Signature}.

This genus was described as American by LeConte, but I have shown in my "Synopsis of the Genera of Hawaiian Cossoninae " [B. P. Bishop Mus., 0cc. Papers 15(25): 285, 1940] that the genus belongs to the Pacific fauna and that the genotype of Haloxenus is a synonym of the genotype of Macrancylus. In other words, the genotype of Macrancylus is a Pacific insect that has been imported into America. The genus has remained monotypic until now, but the discovery of a new species on Guam indicates that there are more species to be found in the Pacific. [Since this was written, I have described a third species from Samoa (B. P. Bishop Mus., 0cc. Papers 16(7): 172-173, 1941)].

title: Shared Leadership in Top Teams. A Study of Nonprofit Federated Board Leadership
Creators: name: Wilson-Jones, Lindsay
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2023

description: This study explores the complex nature of nonprofit board leadership in two boards in one UK charitable federation. It employs a constructionist epistemology and a hybrid analytical approach of thematic analysis, positioning, and leadership differentiated in the interplay between individual action and interdependent leadership. Analysis of three data sources (18 trustee interviews, observation of 3 board meetings, and 39 archival documents) reveal three themes: ‘applying accountability’, ‘engaging with team tensions’, and ‘managing resources’. Two storylines also emerge: ‘seizing a commercial opportunity’ and ‘developing a new service’. External to these boards, 15 interviews and 3 meetings inform an analytical description of the ‘case organisation’. Findings from this ‘interpretive sensemaking’ case study (Welch et al., 2011) show multiple ways in which leadership occurs. Trustees’ experience of leadership in talk and in their interactions in negotiation illustrate the kind of leadership agency they adopt when taking responsibility for multiple forms of accountability to clients, tasks, and external entities. Human agency is illuminated in trustees experience of leadership as they act as ‘innovative agents’ and ‘constructive integrators’. In particular how they balance between innovation and integration. The proposed board leadership framework integrates the individual and team aspects. It conceptually relates the elements of agency as a discursive presentation and the practice of accountability with positioning through which insights make visible the ‘shared’ leadership of two teams that constitute trustee boards. This study departs from the positivist orientation of much nonprofit board research to contribute insights of everyday leadership from a rare interpretive perspective. It further contributes to studies and increasing interest in positioning theory, position-oriented analysis, and innovative methodological hybrid analytical approaches. Finally, it contributes to empirical studies of shared leadership (Pearce and Conger, 2003). In particular, the dynamic, temporal, and temporary nature of the concept in ‘real’ life settings. While extant literature of nonprofit board leadership from a positivist orientation offers an important body of work, little attention has been given to how leadership actually occurs in practice. To this end, the theoretical focus of positioning theory helps to illuminate the everyday interactions and discourses through which leadership is enacted.

description: We present experimental results for the heavy-electron compound CeCu$_{4}$Ga which show that it possesses short-range magnetic correlations down to a temperature of $T = 0.1$ K. Our neutron scattering data show no evidence of long-range magnetic order occurring despite a peak in the specific heat at $T^{*} =1.2$ K. Rather, magnetic diffuse scattering occurs which corresponds to short-range magnetic correlations occurring across two unit cells. The specific heat remains large as $T\sim0$ K resulting in a Sommerfeld coefficient of $γ_{0} = 1.44(2)$ J/mol-K$^{2}$, and, below $T^{*}$, the resistivity follows $T^{2}$ behavior and the ac magnetic susceptibility becomes temperature independent. A magnetic peak centered at an energy transfer of $E_{\rm{c}}=0.24(1)$ meV is seen in inelastic neutron scattering data which shifts to higher energies and broadens under a magnetic field. We discuss the coexistence of large specific heat, magnetic fluctuations, and short-range magnetic correlations at low temperatures and compare our results to those for materials possessing spin-liquid behavior.

We focused on the ‘community endogenouscollaboration type’ of CC and carried out field investigations onthree selected examples that pertain to this type. The obtainedcontents were arranged using the KJ method to clarify thecharacteristics of this type. (1) The ‘endogenous communitycollaboration’ type of CC frees the people from being a ‘consumer’ andgives the possibility of transforming into‘prosumer¬=sei-katsu-sha’. (2) In Japan, the citizens' group operatingthis type of CC actively implement various events & projects, therebyfacilitating the re-identification and utilization of resources thathave potential in the area. (3) By using such CC for exchanging andparticipating in such activities, it creates chances for participantsfrom a wide range of age groups to interact with each other. Whileinheriting the wisdom of the elderly, it contributes to the formationof common concerns and values in the community and trigger newnetworks within the region.

Asymmetric steady streaming as a mechanism for acoustic propulsion of rigid bodies
Creators: name: Nadal, Francois

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent experiments showed that standing acoustic waves could be exploited to induce self-propulsion of rigid metallic particles in the direction perpendicular to the acoustic wave. We propose in this paper a physical mechanism for these observations based on the interplay between inertial forces in the fluid and the geometrical asymmetry of the particle shape. We consider an axisymmetric rigid near-sphere oscillating in a quiescent fluid along a direction perpendicular to its symmetry axis. The kinematics of oscillations can be either prescribed or can result dynamically from the presence of an external oscillating velocity field. Steady streaming in the fluid, the inertial rectification of the time-periodic oscillating flow, generates steady stresses on the particle which, in general, do not average to zero, resulting in a finite propulsion speed along the axis of the symmetry of the particle and perpendicular to the oscillation direction. Our derivation of the propulsion speed is obtained at leading order in the Reynolds number and the deviation of the shape from that of a sphere. The results of our model are consistent with the experimental measurements, and more generally explains how time periodic forcing from an acoustic field can be harnessed to generate autonomous motion.

description: Iapetus, the outermost regular satellite of Saturn, has a drastic albedo dichotomy and an equatorial circumferential ridge that reaches heights of 20 km and widths of 70 km. This moon is thought to have formed concurrently with Saturn, and so would have experienced an intense bombardment after its formation. The ridge, which has been inferred to be one of the most ancient features on Iapetus' surface, could reasonably be expected to have been eroded by impacts; however, it has retained long continuous sections and a nearly pristine triangular shape with ridge slopes reaching $\sim$ 40$^{\circ}$. We use these observations, along with crater counts on Iapetus' surface, to constrain the total bombardment mass experienced by the satellite since its formation. The ridge morphology and the crater population recorded on Iapetus indicate it received less than 20% of the bombardment predicted by the classic Nice model for early Solar System evolution. Under the recently proposed scenarios of planetsimal-driven migration of the young outer planets including more realistic disk conditions, our results would imply a planetesimal disk mass of $M_{D}\sim12-34M_{\oplus}$.

title: Mechanisms of natural and forced variability in the southern ocean
Creators: name: Roncoroni, Sebastiano
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: The Southern Ocean is an important regulator of global climate, and accurately predicting its future evolution under climate change constitutes a critical scientific challenge. Mesoscale eddies are key to the dynamics of the Southern Ocean, but the mechanisms and time scales of their natural and forced variability are not completely understood. Motivated by the dynamical analogy between the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and the tropospheric jet stream, the natural variability of eddymean flow interaction is studied by adapting a two-dimensional model of storm track variability to the oceanic case. It is found that eddies and the mean flow interact according to a predator-prey oscillatory relationship in both an idealised, eddy-resolving, channel configuration and the SOSE state estimate product of the Southern Ocean. The oscillatory nature of the dynamics reflects in the structure of the phase space diagrams, where quasi-periodic cycles with typical timescales of a few weeks can be observed. The simplified mathematical model qualitatively captures the statistical properties of the interaction well. The time scales of forced adjustment are investigated by means of an ensemble of wind step-change experiments run with the idealised channel configuration. It is found that the temperature response is driven largely, but not exclusively, by changes in the ocean’s circulation, with enhanced mixing also playing an important role. Circulation changes have a rich spatial structure, and vertical/meridional displacements of the residual overturning circulation cells have a large impact on the temperature response even though the channel is strongly eddy-compensated. The time scales of the response vary across the domain, and are set by the spin-up of baroclinic eddies. The results presented in this Thesis bring the fundamental mechanisms of eddy variability into clearer focus, and inform the interpretation of more realistic numerical simulations of the Southern Ocean.

description: Ultracold atoms in the combined potential of a parabolic trap and an optical lattice is considered a promising tool for coherent manipulation of matter wave packets. The recent Aarhus experiment[P. L. Pedersen et al., Phys. Rev. A. 88, 023620 (2013)] produced wave packets by applying the optical lattice's amplitude modulation to a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of $^{87}$Rb. The present paper renders a theoretical account with single-particle analysis of this experimental production of the wave packets and their subsequent time-evolution. We focus on the one-dimensional non-interacting bosonic system as a fundamental starting point for accurate quantum analysis and for further investigation of similar experiments. We show that a simple Rabi-oscillation model gives a good description of the wave packet production in terms of the inter-band transition while the first-order perturbation theory proves inadequate, that is the recent experiment already reached the realm of high-order couplings. As a natural extension, we demonstrate enhancement of the wave packet production by the two-step Rabi-oscillation method using either single frequency or dual frequencies. We assess the high-order Bragg reflection and Landau-Zener transition at a band gap with the aid of rigorous quantum time-propagation as well as the semi-classical theory exploited earlier by the Hamburg experiment [J. Heinze et al., PRL 107, 135303(2011)]. Complicated reflections and splittings of the wave packet during free evolution may be largely attributed to the intertwining of these two effects.

description: We study the system of massive and mixed neutrinos interacting with background matter moving with an acceleration. We start with the derivation of the Dirac equation for a single neutrino in the noninertial frame where matter is at rest. A particular case of matter rotating with a constant angular velocity is considered. The Dirac equation is solved and the neutrino energy levels are found for ultrarelativistic particles propagating in rotating matter. Then we generalize our results to include several neutrino generations and consider mixing between them. Using the relativistic quantum mechanics approach we derive the effective Schrödinger equation for the description of neutrino flavor oscillations in rotating matter. We obtain the resonance condition for neutrino oscillations and examine how it can be affected by the matter rotation. We also compare our results with the findings of other authors who studied analogous problem previously.

description: The World Wide Web (WWW) is arguably the preferred method for disseminating information across the Internet. Most of the work to support the advancement of WWW technology has focused on servers used in storing and retrieving information, browsers for viewing this information, and editors or filters for creating the information.

One area which has received little attention is that of actually managing this information at the local host. This thesis describes the development of a means for organizing local data prior to its publishing on the WWW, a method for gathering local pages together and preparing them for distribution, and a system for managing such data once published. As a proof-of-concept, this thesis describes a prototype software utility, the PageManager, which provides an intuitive, hierarchical method of organizing Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) pages, images, and other file-based objects. The PageManager software supports the management of such objects through the creation, editing and exporting of these page hierarchies.

description: In this study, we investigated Turkish EFL teachers’ level of recognition of English accent varieties and their attitudes regarding three common domains, status (e.g. educatedness, intelligence), solidarity (friendliness, kindness), and dynamism (confidence, talkativeness). We also explored the English teachers’ choices of English accents in various language-using contexts. Through the verbal-guise technique, we were able to evaluate the teachers’ language attitudes towards accents, yet we also integrated a questionnaire to further examine the issue for teacher attitudes and ideologies concerning language education. The findings revealed that recognition of English accent varieties was greater with American English and the local accented English. The ratings of status, solidarity, and dynamism showed that speakers’ accents had a strong effect on how the language teachers treated them. Few teachers reported to include various English accents in language courses due to the teachers’ strong preference for L1 accent varieties in the class. Similarly, the L1 accents were ranked significantly higher in the formal contexts, the teaching model in particular. In sum, the accent matter remains to be a meaningful variable for the production of normative language ideologies in the language education market.

Torsion, Magnetic Monopoles and Faraday's Law via a Variational Principle

description: Even though Faraday's Law is a dynamical law that describes how changing $\bf{E}$ and $\bf {B}$ fields influence each other, by introducing a vector potential $A_μ$ according to $F_{μν}=\partial_μA_ν-\partial_νA_μ$ Faraday's Law is satisfied kinematically, with the relation $(-g)^{-1/2}ε^{μνστ}\nabla_νF_{στ}=0$ holding on every path in a variational procedure or path integral. In a space with torsion $Q_{αβγ}$ the axial vector $S^μ=(-g)^{1/2}ε^{μαβγ}Q_{αβγ}$ serves as a chiral analog of $A_μ$, and via variation with respect to $S_μ$ one can derive Faraday's Law dynamically as a stationarity condition. With $S_μ$ serving as an axial potential one is able to introduce magnetic monopoles without $S_μ$ needing to be singular or have a non-trivial topology. Our analysis permits torsion and magnetic monopoles to be intrinsically Grassmann, which could explain why they have never been detected. Our procedure permits us to both construct a Weyl geometry in which $A_μ$ is metricated and then convert it into a standard Riemannian geometry.
description: 4 pages, revtex4. In this version the Weyl geometry connection is taken to be associated with an anti-Hermitian field $iA_{\mu}$ rather than with a Hermitian $A_{\mu}$. It is the anti-Hermitian connection that yields an electromagnetic $A_{\mu}$ that couples to a Dirac fermion in the standard minimally coupled $i\partial_{\mu}-A_{\mu}$ Hermitian way

Assessing pre-service history teachers' pedagogical content knowledge with a video survey using open-ended writing assignments and standardized rating items

description: This paper explores pre-service history teachers' ability to recognize and reflect on typical situations occurring in the history classroom and to link these to students' historical learning. Therefore, we draw on the concept of professional vision (Goodwin, 1994), which assumes that teachers need a professional knowledge base to monitor and to reason about teaching and student learning. Based on theoretical notions of teachers' pedagogical content knowledge (PCK), we investigated history teachers' professional vision by means of a video survey with integrated video clips, open-ended writing assignments and standardized item ratings. We collected data from 303 and 220 pre-service teachers at the beginning and at the end, respectively, of their subject-specific teacher training. The collected data open up the possibility of 'simultaneous triangulation' (Morse, 1991), which was used for test validation. First, we tested the reliability of the closed-ended test instrument using item response theory, in order to develop a feasible test model. Second, we investigated the validity of the test instrument by comparing test results with the findings of the open-ended writing task. In general, student teachers reached rather low-test scores. They experienced difficulties in assessing classroom events in terms of their potential to support historical competencies and to evaluate the consequences for students' learning. Findings from the open writing assignment show that student teachers commented largely on generic teaching strategies while hardly noticing student learning. In sum, the chosen methodological approaches seem to contribute to a more distinct picture of preservice teachers' abilities to reason about history teaching and learning.
