description: The subject of this thesis is an overview of national and international case law regarding the compatibility of legislative changes to Renewable Energy Sources (RES) support schemes with Greek and international legal framework on property and investment protection. At the level of national case law, the study focuses on the Greek jurisprudence, with a brief reference to relevant English case law. At the level of international case law, the study is focused on international arbitration case law on Investor – State disputes involving Renewable Energy Industry under the Energy Charter Treaty. The first chapter of this thesis presents the legislative and case-law developments on the Greek RES support scheme. The second chapter attempts to approach the legislative changes on the RES support scheme in light of Article 1 of Protocol 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The third chapter provides a brief overview of the Energy Charter Treaty and its key provisions and reviews three international arbitral tribunals’ awards regarding investment disputes arising from the legislative changes brought by the host countries to the RES regulatory framework.

description: We have studied the possibly half metallic Co2FeSi full Heusler alloy by means of spin- and time-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. For excitation, the second and fourth harmonic of femtosecond Ti:sapphire lasers were used, with photon energies of 3.1 eV and 5.9 eV, respectively. We compare the dependence of the measured surface spin polarization on the particular photoemission mechanism, i.e. 1-photon-photoemission (1PPE) or 2-photon photoemission (2PPE). The observed differences in the spin polarization can be explained by a spin-dependent lifetime effect occurring in the 2-photon absorption process. The difference in escape depth of the two methods in this context suggests that the observed reduction of spin polarization (compared to the bulk) cannot be attributed just to the outermost surface layer but takes place at least 4-6 nm away from the surface.

description: M-dwarfs have proven to be ideal targets for planetary radial velocity (RV) searches due to their higher planet-star mass contrast. The HADES and CARMENES programs aim to carry out extensive searches of exoplanetary systems around this type of stars in the northern hemisphere, allowing us to address statistically the properties of the planets orbiting these objects. In this work, we perform a spectroscopic and photometric study of one of the program stars (GJ 740), which exhibits a short-period RV signal compatible with a planetary companion. We carried out a spectroscopic analysis based on 129 HARPS-N spectra taken over a time-span of 6 yr combined with 57 HARPS spectra taken over 4 yr, as well as 32 CARMENES spectra taken during more than 1 yr, resulting in a dataset with a time coverage of 10 yr. We also relied on 459 measurements from the public ASAS survey with a time-coverage of 8 yr along with 5 yr of photometric magnitudes from the EXORAP project taken in the $V$, $B$, $R$, and $I$ filters to carry out a photometric study. Both analyses were made using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations and Gaussian Process regression to model the activity of the star. We present the discovery of a short-period super-Earth with an orbital period of 2.37756$^{+0.00013}_{-0.00011}$ d and a minimum mass of 2.96$^{+0.50}_{-0.48}$ M$_{\oplus}$. We offer an update to the previously reported characterization of the magnetic cycle and rotation period of the star, obtaining values of $P_{\rm rot}$=35.563$\pm$0.071 d and $P_{\rm cycle}$=2800$\pm$150 d. Furthermore, the RV time-series exhibits a possibly periodic long-term signal which might be related to a Saturn-mass planet of $\sim$ 100 M$_{\oplus}$.

description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of the issue of the postdated bounced check in Greece. At first, a brief reference was made about the discriminations of securities, regarding the characteristics of the check and its economic importance. Then, the meaning and the characteristics of the postdated bounced check were presented. Next, a detailed report was made about the criminal and civil responsibility of the issuer of the bounced check, as well as the objections that the issuer might raise against the carrier of the check. Another aim of the study was the issue of the bounced check by companies, while the case of the bankruptcy of the issuer of the bounced check was also examined

description: Primordial black holes (PBHs) are a potential dark matter candidate whose masses can span over many orders of magnitude. If they have masses in the $10^{15}-10^{17}$ g range, they can emit sizeable fluxes of MeV neutrinos through evaporation via Hawking radiation. We explore the possibility of detecting light (non-)rotating PBHs with future neutrino experiments. We focus on two next generation facilities: the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE) and THEIA. We simulate the expected event spectra at both experiments assuming different PBH mass distributions and spins, and we extract the expected 95% C.L. sensitivities to these scenarios. Our analysis shows that future neutrino experiments like DUNE and THEIA will be able to set competitive constraints on PBH dark matter, thus providing complementary probes in a part of the PBH parameter space currently constrained mainly by photon data.

description: Hypothesis: By combining the experimental small- and wide-angle x-ray scattering (SWAXS) method with molecular dynamics simulations and the theoretical 'complemented-system approach' it is possible to obtain detailed information about the intra- and inter-molecular structure and dynamics of the solvation and hydration of the surfactant in organic and mixed solvents, e.g., of the nonionic surfactant Brij 35 (C12E23) in alcohols and aqueous alcohol-rich ternary systems. This first application of the complemented-system approach to the surfactant system will promote the use of this powerful methodology that is based on experimental and calculated SWAXS data in studies of colloidal systems. By applying high-performance computing systems, such an approach is readily available for studies in the colloidal domain. Experiments: SWAXS experiments and MD simulations were performed for binary Brij 35/alcohol and ternary Brij 35/water/alcohol systems with ethanol, n-butanol and n-hexanol as the organic solvent component at 25 °C. Findings: We confirmed the presence of solvated Brij 35 monomers in the studied organic media, revealed their preferential hydration and discussed their structural and dynamic features at the intra- and inter-molecular levels. Anisotropic effective surfactant molecular conformations were found. The influence of the hydrophobicity of the organic solvent on the hydration phenomena of surfactant molecules was explained.

Public and private information: the access dichotomy
Creators: name: Kelly, Katrina Robertson
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Access to information is a topic which has been extensively debated in recent years. Legislative schemes, which provide the public with a right of access to documents held by governmental bodies, have been enacted in numerous jurisdictions. However, the scope of such legislation has never been challenged: the access to information debate has presumed that it is only public sector information which should be subject to access legislation. Although private sector entities hold important and valuable information, such information is presumed to lie outwith the scope of the access debate. The aim of this thesis is to investigate the validity of this assumption. The liberal public/private distinction, which operates to restrict the scope of the access to information debate is examined and critiqued in this thesis. It is argued that the liberal public/private divide is an unsuitable criterion for determining which information should be subject to access legislation. In order to identify a more suitable criterion, it is contended that the theoretical justification for access principles, which can be found in the concept of democracy, must be examined. It is concluded that a suitable test to establish the scope of access legislation might be related to whether information is socially consequential. This approach would move the focus of the access debate from the legal status of the entity in question into a more relevant sphere which would concentrate upon the content and effects of the information.

description: Background: There is a small but growing evidence base that exposure to ultrafine particles (UFP – particles smaller than 100nm) may play an important role in the etiology of several illnesses, including cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, this has been under-explored in population-level studies. Methods: Using Cox proportional hazard models we studied the association between long-term exposure to UFP (predicted via recently developed land use regression models) and incident cardiovascular disease in the Dutch arm of the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer cohort (EPIC-NL), which contains 33,831 Dutch residents. Hazard ratios (HR) for UFP were compared to HRs for more routinely monitored air pollutants, including PM$_{10}$, PM$_{coarse}$, PM$_{2.5}$, PM$_{2.5}$ absorbance, NO$_{x}$, and NO$_{2}$. Joint-pollutant effects were also evaluated in two-pollutant models. Results: Long-term exposure to UFP was associated with increased HRs for all incident cardiovascular disease (HR = 1.18 per 10,000 particles/cm$_{3}$, 95% CI: 1.03, 1.34), myocardial infarction (HR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.00, 1.79), and heart failure (HR = 1.76, 95% CI: 1.17, 2.66). Positive associations were also observed for NO2 (HR for heart failure = 1.22, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.48 per 20 μg/m$^{3}$) and coarse PM (HR for all CVD = 1.21, 95% CI: 1.01, 1.45 per 10 μg/m$^{3}$). CVD was not positively associated with PM$_{2.5}$ (HR for all CVD = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.75, 1.28 per 5 μg/m$^{3}$). HRs for UFP and cerebrovascular diseases were positive, but not significant. In two-pollutant models (UFP + NO$_{2}$ and UFP + PM$_{coarse}$), positive associations tended to remain for UFP, while HRs for PM$_{coarse}$ and NO$_{2}$ generally attenuated towards the null. Conclusions: These findings strengthen the overall evidence that UFP exposure plays an important role in cardiovascular health and that risks of ambient air pollution, based on conventional air pollution metrics, may underestimate the true population risk.ment data and biological responses as viability (AlamarBlue assay), cytotoxicity (LDH release), and release of cytokines during long-term exposure are reported.

description: In the bulk reconstruction program, one constructs boundary representations of bulk fields. We investigate the relation between the global/Poincare and AdS-Rindler representations for AdS$_2$. We obtain the AdS-Rindler smearing function for massive and massless fields and show that the global and AdS-Rindler boundary representations are related by conformal transformations. We also use the boundary representations of creation and annihilation operators to compute the Bogoliubov transformation relating global modes to AdS-Rindler modes for both massive and massless particles.

description: In this paper, we discuss the problem of determining whether a quantum system is in a pure state, or in a mixed state. We apply two strategies to settle this problem: the unambiguous discrimination and the maximum confidence discrimination. We also proved that the optimal versions of both strategies are equivalent. The efficiency of the discrimination is also analyzed. This scheme also provides a method to estimate purity of quantum states, and Schmidt numbers of composed systems.
Aspects of compactification on a linear dilaton background

description: We consider the most general Kaluza-Klein (KK) compactification on $S^1/\mathbb{Z}_2$ of a five dimensional ($5D$) graviton-dilaton system, with a non-vanishing dilaton background varying linearly along the fifth dimension. We show that this background produces a Higgs mechanism for the KK vector coming from the $5D$ metric, which becomes massive by absorbing the string frame radion. The $\mathcal{N}=2$ minimal supersymmetric extension of this model, recently built as the holographic dual of Little String Theory, is then re-investigated. An analogous mechanism can be considered for the $4D$ vector coming from the (universal) $5D$ Kalb-Ramond two-form. Packaging the two massive vectors into a spin-$3/2$ massive multiplet, it is shown that the massless spectrum arranges into a $\mathcal{N}=1$, $D=4$ supersymmetric theory. This projection is compatible with an orbifold which preserves half of the original supersymmetries already preserved by the background. The description of the partial breaking $\mathcal{N}=2\rightarrow\mathcal{N}=1$ in this framework, with only vector multiplets and no hypermultiplets, remains an interesting open question which deserves further investigation.

description: The nonlinear dynamics of an elastic filament that is forced to rotate at its base is studied by hydrodynamic simulation techniques; coupling between stretch, bend, twist elasticity and thermal fluctuations is included. The twirling-overwhirling transition is located and found to be strongly discontinuous. For finite bend and twist persistence length, thermal fluctuations lower the threshold rotational frequency, for infinite persistence length the threshold agrees with previous analytical predictions.

description: To our knowledge, in spite of several trials exploring the beneficial effect of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), no comprehensive evidence has investigated the effects of n-3 PUFA consumption on PCOS complications. Therefore, our aim was to conduct a review to investigate the possible effect and related mechanisms. A comprehensive systematic search was conducted in Embase, MEDLINE/PubMed, Google Scholar, and SCOPUS, to identify studies investigating n-3 fatty acids as a preventative or therapeutic agent for the attenuation of PCOS complications. Subsequently, the impact of omega-3 on PCOS, omega-3 and inflammation, omega-3 and insulin resistance, omega-3 and adipokines, omega-3 and lipid metabolism, omega-3 and endothelial function and omega-3 and hormonal factors were discussed. There are multiple mechanisms by which n-3 PUFAs may exert their beneficial effects on PCOS, including anti-obesity, glycemic and hormonal hemostasis, anti-inflammatory, regulation of adipokine production and enhancement of endothelial function. N-3 PUFAs are a promising agent in relieving complications associated with PCOS. Although most of the studies in patients with PCOS reported an improvement in most complications after administration of omega-3 supplements, there is a distinct dearth of studies investigating the dietary intake of these types of fatty acids. Moreover, favorable effects regarding the improvement of dyslipidemia, regulation of adipokines, regulation of hormonal factors and enhancement of endothelial function are limited. Therefore, more trials are warranted to investigate palatable mechanisms for clarifying the metabolic and hormonal effects of these agents in PCOS.

Η γλώσσα και οι γλωσσικές ποικιλίες αποτελούν αντικείμενο μελέτης της έρευνας, ενώ η σημειωτική το μεθοδολογικό εργαλείο για την ανάλυση και ερμηνεία των γλωσσικών και μη γλωσσικών μηνυμάτων των διαφημίσεων. Από τη σημειωτική ανάλυση προκύπτει ότι οι διάλεκτοι χρησιμοποιούνται κατά κύριο λόγο, σε διαφημίσεις, οι οποίες προωθούν συγκεκριμένα προϊόντα που σχετίζονται, κυρίως με τη διατροφή, αλλά και με την εξέλιξη της τεχνολογίας, όπως γίνεται στην περίπτωση της διαφήμισης προϊόντων κινητής τηλεφωνίας. Η τακτική αυτή ακολουθείται διότι οι διάλεκτοι έχουν συνδεθεί με την έννοια της παράδοσης και του αγνού τρόπου ζωής, χαρακτηριστικά που θεωρείται ότι απαντώνται και σε διατροφικές επιλογές και τα οποία έρχονται σε αντίθεση με τομείς όπως η εξέλιξη της τεχνολογίας, στοιχείο στο οποίο υπολογίζουν οι διαφημιστές για την παραγωγή γέλιου. Παρατηρείται επίσης, ότι οι διαφημίσεις στηρίζονται στη φωνητική αναπαράσταση των διαλέκτων ή των ιδιωμάτων ώστε να δημιουργηθεί η έννοια της απόκλισης από την κοινή γλώσσα. Οι χαρακτήρες που προβάλλονται από τις συγκεκριμένες διαφημίσεις παρουσιάζουν ορισμένα κοινά γνωρίσματα τόσο σε γλωσσικό, όσο και σε μη γλωσσικό επίπεδο. Όπως θα δούμε o διαλεκτόφωνος Έλληνας παρουσιάζεται, σε γενικές γραμμές, ως απλοϊκός επαρχιώτης, ο οποίος ασκεί συνήθως κάποιο χειρονακτικό επάγγελμα και διαθέτει ατημέλητο παρουσιαστικό και έναν τρόπο ζωής που απέχει πολύ από τον μέσο αστικό
description: This thesis aims at highlighting the main characteristics of the language and the dialectical linguistic varieties, as well as the way the Greek speaker is projected in TV commercials. Language and language varieties are the subject of this study research, while the native and methodological toolbox consists in the semitocs for analyzing and interpreting the messages of the language and non-text ads. The native analysis shows that lectures are primarily used in advertisements which promote specific nutritional products. This tactic is followed because the lectures have been linked to the concept of tradition and pure lifestyle, characteristics that are also considered to be met in dietary choices. It is also noted that advertisements are based on the vocal representation of dialects or the phrases in order to create the concept of divergence from the common language. The characters displayed by these ads show some common features in both linguistic and non-linguistic terms, representing the provincial image of a speaker applying his own dialect, informal appearance as well as lifestyle, totally different than the one a middle class citizen disposes

description: As economic transactions become more and more important for all countries in their interrelations, the GATT contracting parties are considering the applications of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Taiwan to enter into this world trade organization. This happens at a time when the Uruguay Round negotiations have resulted successfully in an agreement between the contracting parties to set up the World Trade Organization. The two applicants are very important in the world economy. Apart from negotiations on the concrete concessions of the two applicants, other questions are under consideration. The applicants share a common background that the PRC, Taiwan plus Hong Kong and Macao are originally from one China, and Hong Kong will be under the sovereignty of China in 1997 which will probably speed up the unification of the four parts into one China someday. So it is not too early to consider questions which may arise from the influence of the accession style of the mainland and Taiwan on relations and positioning between the two sides of the Taiwan Straits, and the interrelations between the four parts concerning participation in international organizations before and after unification. All four parts of China may be entitled respectively to participate in this international economic organization before and after unification. But the negative impacts on unification which may come about by the style of acceptance of the countries into the GATT cannot be ignored. The issues of the interrelations between the four parts of China in GATT should also be discussed.

description: This article is aimed at determining the absorption of moisture by diffusion of mineral wool and polyisocyanurate over a long-term period. The task of increasing the thermal insulation properties of enclosing structures is most relevant for the erection of new buildings or structures, as well as for the repair of existing. The method models operating conditions in which thermal insulation product absorb moisture from both sides at high relative humidity of air (100%) and pressure difference of water vapour over a long-term period. The moisture absorption by diffusion of mineral wool and polyisocyanurate were obtained after 28 days of exposure to temperature and pressure drop of water vapor. Significant changes in moisture content of mineral wool were observed. From the results obtained, it can be concluded that polyisocyanurate has a lesser absorption property of water vapor, which is an important attribute in its operation.

description: Equilibrium properties of hydrogen-helium mixtures under conditions similar to the interior of giant gas planets are studied by means of first principle density functional molecular dynamics simulations. We investigate the molecular and atomic fluid phase of hydrogen with and without the presence of helium for densities between $ρ=0.19$ g$ $cm$^{-3}$ and $ρ=0.66$ g$ $cm$^{-3}$ and temperatures from $T=500 $K to $T=8000 {K}$. Helium has a crucial influence on the ionic and electronic structure of the liquid. Hydrogen molecule bonds are shortened as well as strengthened which leads to more stable hydrogen molecules compared to pure hydrogen for the same thermodynamic conditions. The {\it ab initio} treatment of the mixture enables us to investigate the validity of the widely used linear mixing approximation. We find deviations of up to 8% in energy and volume from linear mixing at constant pressure in the region of molecular dissociation.

description: We study four-dimensional gauge theories with arbitrary simple gauge group with $1$-form global center symmetry and $0$-form parity or discrete chiral symmetry. We canonically quantize on $\mathbb{T}^3$, in a fixed background field gauging the $1$-form symmetry. We show that the mixed $0$-form/$1$-form 't Hooft anomaly results in a central extension of the global-symmetry operator algebra. We determine this algebra in each case and show that the anomaly implies degeneracies in the spectrum of the Hamiltonian at any finite-size torus. We discuss the consistency of these constraints with both older and recent semiclassical calculations in $SU(N)$ theories, with or without adjoint fermions, as well as with their conjectured infrared phases.

description: Starting from Newton's equations of motion, we derive a dynamical density functional theory (DDFT) applicable to atomic liquids. The theory has the feature that it requires as input the Helmholtz free energy functional from equilibrium density functional theory. This means that, given a reliable equilibrium free energy functional, the correct equilibrium fluid density profile is guaranteed. We show that when the isothermal compressibility is small, the DDFT generates the correct value for the speed of sound in a dense liquid. We also interpret the theory as a dynamical equation for a coarse grained fluid density and show that the theory can be used (making further approximations) to derive the standard mode coupling theory that is used to describe the glass transition. The present theory should provide a useful starting point for describing the dynamics of inhomogeneous atomic fluids.

Abortion, law and the ideology of motherhood: new perspectives on old problems
Creators: name: Fegan, Eileen Veronica
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Many feminist analyses of abortion law in Canada over the last two decades have been characterized by criticism of the failure of legislation and case law to appreciate adequately the interests of women in the matter. As a result they have advocated the pursuit of legislative reform and the demand for legal recognition and judicial protection of women's "right to choose". Despite the substantial fulfilment of these aims, problems of availability and access to abortion services continue to be experienced by Canadian women. This thesis purports to adopt a new, more critical perspective, incorporating an ideological analysis of both past restrictions and current conflicts over abortion regulation, in an attempt to develop fresh insights into the possibilities for feminist strategizing in this area. In highlighting the subtle ways in which law itself facilitates the continued denial of women's reproductive choice, it seeks to discourage the future reliance upon law alone to redress these current injustices. The concept of a "dominant ideology of motherhood" is employed as the theoretical framework from which to examine the role of law in reflecting, and reinforcing dominant ideas about women and their relation to motherhood. An investigation of the ideas most influential in shaping the first nineteenth century prohibition on abortion and, of the understandings manifested in the legal developments secured since, discloses the constancy of certain, oppressive constructions of women in legal forums. Further analysis of how ideological anti-abortion messages have been imported into judicial discourse via the recent abortion injunction cases, suggests that law may not be the most appropriate forum in which to challenge and modify these dominant ideas. Upon these findings, the scope for constructing alternative, revolutionary feminist discourse on abortion is examined. The thesis concludes that deconstruction of the particular and oppressive ideas informing the past and present legal treatment of abortion, and of the ideological nature of law itself, may provide a basis for developing oppositional, "woman-centred" ideas and understandings on the issue. Finally, it is suggested that feminists might make greater progress in the current debate through promoting these ideas in the extra-legal sphere.

description: Αν και τα νεότερα αντιπηκτικά αποδείχθηκαν πολύτιμη εναλλακτική λύση έναντι της βαρφαρίνης, δεν υπάρχουν μελέτες που να τα συγκρίνουν ευθέως μεταξύ τους για να κατευθύνουμε την επιλογή μας. Επίσης, δεν υπάρχουν επαρκή στοιχεία για τη βέλτιστη θεραπεία σε συγκεκριμένες ομάδες ασθενών υψηλού κινδύνου. Η συστηματική αυτή ανασκόπηση τύπου ομπρέλας προσπάθησε να συλλέξει κάθε πληροφορία όπως αυτή προκύπτει από όσες συστηματικές ανασκοπήσεις έχουν γίνει μέχρι σήμερα για τους ασθενείς με κολπική μαρμαρυγή. Επιπλέον μας έδωσε τη δυνατότητα να προχωρήσουμε και σε μία μετά-ανάλυση δικτύου για τη σύγκριση και κατάταξη μεταξύ τους των νεότερων αντιπηκτικών ανάλογα την επιθυμητή έκβαση. Τέλος θα ήταν παράλειψη να μην αναφερθούμε στο μέγεθος της αλληλοεπικάλυψης μεταξύ των μετά-αναλύσεων ένα γεγονός που δημιουργεί σύγχυση στον αναγνώστη και ίσως αυξάνει σημαντικά το σφάλμα δημοσίευσης
description: The new anticoagulant drugs are shown to be a valuable alternative instead of warfarin, but there are no trials to compare these drugs directly. Furthermore, there are no enough data as regards the better anticoagulant treatment at different high risk patients’ groups. At this overview of systematic reviews, data was collected from every systematic review that have included patients with atrial fibrillation. Furthermore, a network meta-analysis was performed in order to compare and classify all the new anticoagulants according to different outcomes. Finally, the overlap between the existing meta-analysis is a well discussed topic, as it is huge, creating confusion to the reader and maybe increasing the publishing error significantly

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία άπτεται του θέματος της χρήσης της εικονικής πραγματικότητας (virtual reality) σε μουσειοπαιδαγωγικά προγράμματα. Κατ’ αρχάς γίνεται μία επισκόπηση της εξέλιξης των μουσείων και των μουσειοπαιδαγωγικών προγραμμάτων τόσο στο εξωτερικό όσο και στην Ελλάδα. Παρατίθεται, ακόμη, η εξελικτική πορεία της εικονικής πραγματικότητας μέσα από τις τεχνολογικές καινοτομίες, ενώ γίνεται και μία προσπάθεια να οριστεί. Παράλληλα, προβάλλεται και η παιδαγωγική διάσταση της χρήσης εικονικής πραγματικότητας, καθώς βασίζεται στην εποικοδομητική θεωρία μάθησης και στην βιωματική προσέγγιση. Επιπροσθέτως, παρουσιάζονται εφαρμογές εικονικής πραγματικότητας σε πολιτιστικούς φορείς του εξωτερικού, καθώς και η περίπτωση του Ιδρύματος Μείζονος Ελληνισμού, όπου γίνονται προβολές ταινιών εικονικής πραγματικότητας. Με αφορμή όσα αναφέρθηκαν, αναπτύσσεται μία διαδικασία δημιουργίας εικονικής περιήγησης-βίντεο με εκθέματα του Αρχαιολογικού Μουσείου Θεσσαλονίκης. Τα επιλεγμένα εκθέματα είναι μόνο γλυπτά διαφόρων θεοτήτων της ελληνικής μυθολογίας, ενώ παρατίθενται και οι μύθοι τους. Μέσα από την εικονική περιήγηση τίθεται σαν στόχος η αποκωδικοποίηση των συμβόλων του κάθε θεού που φαίνονται στα γλυπτά
description: The present dissertation concerns the use of virtual reality in museum educational programs. Firstly, an overview of the development of museums and museum educational programs both abroad and in Greece is presented. Moreover, the evolutionary course of virtual reality is cited through technological innovations, while at the same time an effort is made to define this term. Alongside, the pedagogical dimension concerning the use of virtual reality is presented, as it is intertwined with constructivism and the experiential approach. In addition, applications of virtual reality in cultural operators are presented both abroad, and concerning the case of the Foundation of Hellenic World, where virtual reality movie projections are available. Based on what has been said, a process is developed in order to create a virtual tour-video, with exhibits of the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki. The selected exhibits are solely sculptures of various gods from greek mythology, while at the same time their myths are displayed. This virtual tour aims to decode the symbols of each god, that appear on the sculptures

description: Η διαφημιστική αφίσα για την επικοινωνία ενός προϊόντος, είτε αυτό είναι υλικό είτε ένας οργανισμός ή μια έννοια, είναι μία από τις πολύ συχνές μορφές διαφήμισης που επιλέγεται λόγω του οικονομικού της χαρακτήρα και των δυνατοτήτων απήχησης καθώς είναι προσβάσιμη από όλους. Αντικείμενο της παρούσας εργασίας είναι η ανάλυση και η μελέτη των αφισών που χρησιμοποιούνται για τη διαφήμιση και προώθηση στο ευρύ κοινό των θεατρικών παραστάσεων που απευθύνονται σε παιδιά. Το μέσο για την ανάλυσή τους είναι η γραμματική του οπτικού σχεδιασμού όπως αυτή καταγράφεται στο βιβλίο Η ανάγνωση των εικόνων των KressκαιVan Leeuven(2010) για τα εικονιστικά στοιχεία της αφίσας και η κριτική ανάλυση λόγου για τα γλωσσικά μηνύματα επικοινωνίας. Προκειμένου να αποτυπωθούν με σαφήνεια τα αποτελέσματα των ερευνητικών ερωτημάτων, η εργασία αυτή διαρθρώνεται στη λογική της αρχικής παρουσίασης της θεωρίας, στη συνέχεια, της περιγραφής της μεθοδολογίας και, τέλος, στην παράθεση των αποτελεσμάτων με τα συμπεράσματα να είναι σε μια διαρκή συνδιαλλαγή μεταξύ θεωρίας, παραδειγμάτων και αποτελεσμάτων. Διαπιστώθηκε ότι η θεατρική αφίσα παιδικών παραστάσεων ακολουθεί τους κανόνες της κοινωνικής σημειωτικής ανάλυσης των διαφημιστικών αφισών γενικότερα με λιγότερο σύνθετα και πολύπλοκα χαρακτηριστικά και κανόνες
description: The poster for the communication of a product, whether it be a material or an organization or a concept, is one of the most common forms of advertising chosen because of its economic nature and its impact potential as it is accessible to all. The aim of this work is to analyze and study the posters used to advertise and promote to the public the theatrical representations directed at children. The means to analyze them is the grammar of visual design as recorded in Kress and Van Leeuven's book Reading Images (2010) about the poster's figurative elements and critical speech analysis for language communication messages. To clearly capture the results of the research questions, this work is structured in the logic of the initial presentation of the theory, followed by the description of the methodology and finally the quoting of the results with the conclusions being in a continuous conciliation between theory, examples and results. It has been found that the theatrical poster of children's performances follows the rules of social semiotic analysis of advertising posters in general with less complex features and rules

description: The aim of the present thesis was the study the subject to taxable value added. This is anyone who carries out an economic activity, irrespective of the purpose and results of that activity, in an independent manner and in any place. We have analyzed the term economic activity, as such activity considered by any producer, trader or service provider, including mining activities, agricultural activities and the activities of the liberal professions. An economic activity is also considered as the exploitation of tangible or intangible property, in particular for the purpose of obtaining income of a lasting nature. We then presented in detail the characteristics of the economic activity. We have also discussed in detail whether individuals and public entitiesare considered subjects to this TAX and we were interested in understanding the terms used in the european union’s directive
