description: Ο σκοπός της μελέτης ήταν ο προσδιορισμός της κατανομής των πολυκυκλικών αρωματικών υδρογονανθράκων(ΠΑΥ) μεταξύ της αέριας και σωματιδιακής φάσης της ατμόσφαιρας και των μηχανισμών απομάκρυνσής τους μέσω υγρής και ξηρής απόθεσης. Οι συγκεντρώσεις των ΠΑΥ στην αέρια και σωματιδιακή φάση προσδιορίστηκαν σε τρεις περιοχές του λεκανοπεδίου Εορδαίας, όπου λειτουργούν 4 σταθμοί παραγωγής ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας. Οι συντελεστές κατανομής, Κρ, συσχετίστηκαν με την ατμοσφαιρική θερμοκρασία και με φυσικοχημικές σταθερές των ενώσεων(Pl, KoA),προκειμένου να εκτιμηθεί αν τα θεωρητικά μοντέλα μπορούν να περιγράψουν την κατανομή. Επιπλέον, μετρήθηκαν οι ροές υγρής και ξηρής απόθεσης και υπολογίστηκαν οι λόγοι απομάκρυνσης και οι ταχύτητες απόθεσης ώστε να προσδιοριστεί ποιά φάση απομακρύνεται πιο ικανοποιητικά από την ατμόσφαιρα μέσω δύο μηχανισμών. Η συμφωνία των θεωρητικών μοντέλων με τις πειραματικές τιμές ήταν ικανοποιητική. Οι αποκλίσεις που παρατηρήθηκαν αποδόθηκαν στην έλλειψη ισορροπίας, στο μη-ανταλλάξιμο κλάσμα των ΠΑΥ και στις διαφορετικές ιδιότητες των σωματιδίων. Η αέρια φάση φαίνεται να συνεισφέρει σημαντικά στην ξηρή απόθεση ενώ η σωματιδιακή φάση απομακρύνεται πιο ικανοποιητικά μέσω της βροχής
description: The aim of the research was to investigate the partioning of polycyclic. Aromatic hydrocarbons(PAHs) in the atmosphere and their removal mechanisms by wet and dry deposition. The concentrations of PAHs were determined, in both phases, at three sites of the Eordea basin, Western Macedonia, where four lignite burning power plants operate. The cofficients of the partioning, kp, were regressed against ambient temperature, and physicochemical properties of PAHs(Pl, KoA), in order to assess if theoretical models can describe the partioning in the area. Moreover, dry and wet deposition fluxes were measured and the total deposition velocities and scavenging ratios were calculated so as to estimate which of the two phases is more efficiently removed from the atmosphere. The models were in good agreement with the experimental values. The deviations observed were attributed to non-equilibrium, non-exchangeable fraction of PAHs and differences in the properties of aerosols. Gas phase paHs seem to contribute significantly in dry deposition, while particle phase paHs are more efficiency scavenged by rain
Effect of cytokinins on tissue structure, plastid development and photosynthetic proteins in tissue culture of PINUS PONDEROSA dougl. cotyledons during organogenesis
Creators: name: Mazari Hiriart, Alicia
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The cytokinins, benzyladenine and 2-isopentenyl adenine, promoted the in vitro formation of meristematic centers which led to bud and shoot production on excised cotyledons of Pinus ponderosa Dougl. The organogenic response was dependent on the time of exposure to these growth regulators. Differences between meristematic, non-meristematic regions, and cotyledons cultured on growth regulator free medium, were observed by day 5 in culture. Plastids in newly meristematic cells showed poorly developed thylakoid membranes and some grana, whereas cells in non-meristematic tissues and non-cytokinin treated tissues had well developed inner membranes, more thylakoid membranes and grana than plastids of meristematic cells. A decline in total protein content was detected during the first days in culture. The decline was more rapid on growth regulator free than on cytokinin treated cotyledons. This trend contrasted with chloroplast markers (chlorophyll and 5 polypeptides associated with photosynthesis), which were present in lower concentrations in cytokinin treated cotyledons than in those cultured in growth regulator free medium. Both benzyladenine and 2-isopentenyl adenine were effective in inhibiting the accumulation of at least two photosynthetic polypeptides in cotyledons in the first 24 hours in culture. The ability of cotyledons to respond in this way to cytokinins was lost after only three days in culture in growth regulator free medium.

Εφαρμόστηκαν και αξιολογήθηκαν η βιοδοκιμή μυών, η HPLC και η ELISA, για την ανίχνευση των DSP τοξική σε μύδια του Θερμαϊκού Κόλπου. Βρέθηκαν και οι τρεις τεχνικές κατάλληλες και ικανές να εφαρμοστούν εναλλακτικά για την ανίχνευση της DSP τοξικότητας στα μύδια της περιοχής. Σύμφωνα με τη μελέτη που διεξήχθη σε μύδια της Χαλάστρας, κατά το 2002 σημειώθηκε έντονο DSP επεισόδιο, που αποδόθηκε στο οκαδαϊκό οξύ(ΟΑ)(μέγιστη συγκέντρωση 36,1μg/gκπ) και διήρκησε 4,5 μήνες. Κατά το 2003 σημειώθηκε ένα ασθενές DSP επισόδιο διάρκειας μόνο 20 ημερών, που αποδόθηκε στο ΟΑ(μέγιστη συγκέντρωση <0,8mg/gκπ) καθώς και σε πιθανή παρουσία κι άλλων DSP-τοξινών. Η συγκέντρωση του ΟΑ μεταβαλλόταν σημαντικά με το χρόνο και το σταθμό δειγματοληψίας, ενώ ήταν ανεξάρτητη του μεγέθους των οστράκων και του βάθους του νερού. Ωστόσο, στην καβούρα όπου βρέθηκαν χαμηλότερα επίπεδα ΟΑ σε σχέση με άλλους σταθμούς. Τα μύδια των μεσαίων και κατώτερων στρωμάτων των αρμαθιών περιείχαν τις μικρότερες ποσότητες ΟΑ. Επίσης, τα μεγάλα μύδια(>6cm)της καβούρας συσσώρευσαν περισσότερο ΟΑ απ'ότι τα μικρότερα. Τέλος, το ΟΑ βρέθηκε ότι δε συσσωρεύεται σε άλλους ιστούς, παρά μόνο στο ηπατοπάγκρεας, γεγονός που υποδεικνύει ότι σε περιόδους παρατεταμένων DPS επεισοδίων θα μπορούσε να γίνει ορθότερη διαχείριση του προϊόντος
description: The present thesis aimed at expanding the knowledge and experience regarding the diarrhetic shellfish poisoning(DSP), which is a recent problem in Greek shellfish industry. Further goals of the study were the improvement of the current shellfish monitoring system, a better public health protection and the protection of farmer's economy. Mouse bioassay. HPLC and EUSA were evaluated and applied for the detection of DSP-toxins in the area of study. During 2002 we recorded an inteuse DSP episode in mussels from Halastra, which was attributed to Okadaic acid(OA)(max 36,1mg/ghp) which lasted for just 20days. Concentration of OA varied significantly with time and sampling station, while it was independed from the mussel size and depth of water. However, in Kavoura(where lower OA levels were found compared with other stations)mussels from the middle and lowest sites of the propes(2-3 depth) contained less OA compared with higher sites. Moreover, bigger mussels(>6 cm)from Kavoura accumulated more OA than smaller ones. It was found that OA is accumulated in the hepatopancreas and not in any other organ, fact that suggests a better management of the product during long periods of DSP toxicity

description: Η παρούσα μελέτη αποτελεί μια προσπάθεια διερεύνησης της στάσης παιδιών και εφήβων απέναντι στις διαφημίσεις τσιγάρων. Η μέθοδος που χρησιμοποιήθηκε για τη συλλογή των δεδομένων ήταν οι εστιασμένες ομαδικές συνεντεύξεις. Σε κάθε ομάδα συμμετείχαν τέσσερα άτομα της ίδιας ηλικίας(12 και 15 χρόνων). Πραγματοποιήθηκαν επτά συνεντεύξεις για τα 12χρονα και πέντε για τα 15χρονα. Το δείγμα προερχόταν από 3 δημοτικά σχολεία και 2 γυμνάσια και ήταν δείγμα σκοπού και κριτηρίου. οι συνεντέυξεις ήταν ημιδομημένες και η πλειοψηφία των ερωτήσεων ήταν ανοικτές. Οι ερωτήσεις σχεδιάστηκαν με στόχο να εκμαιεύσουν πληροφορίες σχετικές τα τρία στοιχεία που συνιστούν τη στάση το γνωστικό, το συγκινησιακό και το στοιχείο της δράσης. Για την κινητοποίηση των συμμετεχόντων σε διάλογο χρησιμοποιήθηκαν πέντε έντυπες διαφημίσεις τσιγάρων, διαφορετικού τύπου η κάθε μια. Η ανάλυση βασίστηκε στα μοντέλα φαινομενολογικής ανάλυσης που προτείνονται από τους Moustakas(1994) και Greswell(1998). Η στάση και των δυο ηλικιακών ομάδων απέναντι στις διαφημίσεις τσιγάρων φαίνεται ότι ποικίλει από ουδέτερη ως αρνητική. Ωστόσο κάποιες αντιφάσεις που εμφανίζονται στις συνεντεύξεις, οδηγούν στην ανάγκη για περαιτέρω μελέτη του συγκινησιακού κυρίως στοιχείου της στάσης απέναντι στη διαφήμιση. Στην παρούσα μελέτη γίνονται αναφορές και για τα στοιχεία που κάνουν μια διαφήμιση ελκυστική ή μη αντίστοιχα και πως αυτά μπορούν να χρησιμοποιηθούν, ώστε να σχεδιαστούν αποτελεσματικότερες αντικαπνιστικές διαφημίσεις
description: A phenomenological approach was used in order to identify the attitude of children(12 years old) and adolescents(15 years old) towards cigarette advertisements(ads). The inquiry(study) has taken place in Thessaloniki, an urban city of Greece at the end of '96, beginning of '97. The research method used was focus groups interviews. Each group consisted of four informants. A total number of 29 children and 20 adoliscents have been interviewed originating from 3 primary and 2 secondary schools. The sample was purposive and based on the convenience criterion. The interview was semi-structured and most of the questions were open-ended. The questions were designed to elicit the cognitive, affective and active components of the ad. In order to stimulate discussions five printed cigarette ads, of different styles, were used. The analysis of the interviews was based on models of phenomenological analysis proposed by Moustakas(1994) and Greswell(1998). The attitude towards cigarette ads of both age groups seemed to vary from neutral to unfavorable. However, during the discussions some contradictions were revealed between the cognitive, emotional further elaboration of the attitude and in particularly of the emotional component towards cigarette ads

Estimating Change in Tremor Amplitude Using Clinical Ratings: Recommendations for Clinical Trials
Creators: name: Elble, Rodger J
Publisher: name: Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements
Year: 2019

description: Tremor rating scales are the standard method for assessing tremor severity and clinical change due to treatment or disease progression. However, ratings and their changes are difficult to interpret without knowing the relationship between ratings and tremor amplitude (displacement or angular rotation), and the computation of percentage change in ratings relative to baseline is misleading because of the ordinal nature of these scales. For example, a reduction in tremor from rating 2 to rating 1 (0–4 scale) should not be interpreted as a 50% reduction in tremor amplitude, nor should a reduction in rating 4 to rating 3 be interpreted as a 25% reduction in tremor. Studies from several laboratories have found a logarithmic relationship between tremor ratings R and tremor amplitude T, measured with a motion transducer: logT = α·R + β, where α ≈ 0.5, β ≈ –2, and log is base 10. This relationship is consistent with the Weber–Fechner law of psychophysics, and from this equation, the fractional change in tremor amplitude for a given change in clinical ratings is derived: (Tf−Ti)/Ti=10α(Rf−Ri)−1, where the subscripts i and f refer to the initial and final values. For a 0–4 scale and α = 0.5, a 1-point reduction in tremor ratings is roughly a 68% reduction in tremor amplitude, regardless of the baseline tremor rating (e.g., 2 or 4). Similarly, a 2-point reduction is roughly a 90% reduction in tremor amplitude. These Weber–Fechner equations should be used in clinical trials for computing and interpreting change in tremor, assessed with clinical ratings.

description: A variety of innovative software solutions, addressing product anti-counterfeiting and record provenance of the wider supply chain industry, have been implemented. However, these solutions have been developed with centralized system architecture which could be susceptible to malicious modifications on states of product records and various potential security attacks leading to system failure and downtime. Blockchain technology has been enabling decentralized trust with a network of distributed peer nodes to maintain consistent shared states via a decentralized consensus reached, with which an idea of developing decentralized and reliable solutions has been basing on. A Decentralized NFC-Enabled Anti-Counterfeiting System (dNAS) was therefore proposed and developed, decentralizing a legacy anti-counterfeiting system of supply chain industry utilizing enterprise blockchain protocols and enterprise consortium, to facilitate trustworthy data provenance retrieval, verification and management, as well as strengthening capability of product anti-counterfeiting and traceability in supply chain industry. The adoption of enterprise blockchain protocols and implementations has been surging in supply chain industry given its advantages in scalability, governance and compatibility with existing supply chain systems and networks, but development and adoption of decentralized solutions could also impose additional implications to supply chain integrity, in terms of security, privacy and confidentiality. In this research, an empirical analysis performed against decentralized solutions, including dNAS, summarizes the effectiveness, limitations and future opportunities of developing decentralized solutions built around existing enterprise blockchain protocols and implementations for supply chain anti-counterfeiting and traceability.

description: We compute the Milky Way potential in different cold dark matter (CDM) based models, and compare these with the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) framework. We calculate the axis ratio of the potential in various models, and find that isopotentials are less spherical in MOND than in CDM potentials. As an application of these models, we predict the escape velocity as a function of the position in the Galaxy. This could be useful in comparing with future data from planned or already-underway kinematic surveys (RAVE, SDSS, SEGUE, SIM, GAIA or the hypervelocity stars survey). In addition, the predicted escape velocity is compared with the recently measured high proper motion velocity of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). To bind the LMC to the Galaxy in a MOND model, while still being compatible with the RAVE-measured local escape speed at the Sun's position, we show that an external field modulus of less than $0.03 a_0$ is needed.

description: A redazione del numero ormai chiusa è arrivata la notizia della scomparsa di Claudio Abbado, che tra le varie qualifiche aveva anche quella di presidente onorario del comitato scientifico nominato per la pubblicazione degli opera omnia di Gesualdo. Ci sarà occasione di ricordarlo prossimamente con maggior agio (tra l’altro, proprio pochi giorni prima della sua morte si è tenuto nel nostro Dipartimento, nell’ambito dei corsi del prof. Michele Girardi, un seminario dedicato ai suoi anni alla Scala). In questa sede vogliamo brevemente ricordare l’amore che in diverse occasioni il grande direttore ha manifestato nei confronti di Carlo Gesualdo, almeno a partire dal 2003, quando gli venne conferita la laurea honoris causa dall’Università della Basilicata per iniziativa di Dinko Fabris; ma è lecito supporre che risalisse a parecchio tempo prima, forse addirittura agli anni delle frequentazioni assidue di Luigi Nono e Bruno Maderna, appassionati conoscitori (soprattutto quest’ultimo) della grande tradizione polifonica cinquecentesca.

description: This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze the relationship between quality of life and levels of fatigue among Brazilian professional dancers. A total of 127 professional classical ballet and contemporary dancers, both male and female, from professional dance companies of the Brazilian South-Southeast region, participated in the study. Data were collected using online self-administered questionnaires, the World Health Organization Quality of Life – Biomedical Research and Education Foundation (WHOQOL – BREF) and the Fatigue Symptom Checklist (FSC), to characterize the participants. Multiple linear regressions were used for data analysis. The results showed that worsened psychological health, social relationships, environment, and total quality of life domains were associated with the drowsiness and dullness scale. Worsened physical health, psychological, and total quality of life domains were also associated with the inability to concentrate scale. However, improvement in social relationships and total quality of life domains were associated with the awareness of physical discomfort scale. These results indicate that fatigue affects the quality of life of professional dancers differently based on the scales used to measure fatigue, which highlights the importance of studies empirically testing specific fatigue-modifying factors in professional dance contexts.

description: Time independent Hamiltonians of the physical type H = (P_1^2+P_2^2)/2+V(Q_1,Q_2) pass the Painleve' test for only seven potentials $V$, known as the He'non-Heiles Hamiltonians, each depending on a finite number of free constants. Proving the Painleve' property was not yet achieved for generic values of the free constants. We integrate each missing case by building a birational transformation to some fourth order first degree ordinary differential equation in the classification (Cosgrove, 2000) of such polynomial equations which possess the Painleve' property. The properties common to each Hamiltonian are: (i) the general solution is meromorphic and expressed with hyperelliptic functions of genus two, (ii) the Hamiltonian is complete (the addition of any time independent term would ruin the Painleve' property).

description: It was our objective to verify the time course of muscle thickness and cytokine concentration after a resistance training session. In one of the experimental conditions, the training session was performed with low load (20% 1RM) and restriction of blood flow. In the other experimental condition, the same training was performed with high load (80% 1RM) and without blood flow restriction. Femoral rectus muscle, vastus lateralis, brachial biceps and triceps brachii muscle thickness and the serum cytokine dosage were analyzed pré, 0h, 24h and 48h after the training sessions. For the upper and lower limbs, the main results showed significant (p< 0.05) effect on time for the thickness in all muscle but not (p> 0.05) to experimental condition. To cytokines concentrations, a significant (p= 0.004) interaction between the time and conduction for IL10. Conversely, there was no difference between the weeks (p= 0.698) or time (p= 0.142) in the means of TNF. In conclusion both experimental conductions promoted similar changes on muscular swelling without alterations on TNFα, however, the RST protocol induced increase on IL-10 concentration after 24 hours of exercise session.

description: Social media, e-commerce, streaming video, e-mail, cloud documents, web pages, traffic flows, and network packets fill vast digital lakes, rivers, and oceans that we each navigate daily. This digital hyperspace is an amorphous flow of data supported by continuous streams that stretch standard concepts of type and dimension. The unstructured data of digital hyperspace can be elegantly represented, traversed, and transformed via the mathematics of hypergraphs, hypersparse matrices, and associative array algebra. This paper explores a novel mathematical concept, the semilink, that combines pairs of semirings to provide the essential operations for graph analytics, database operations, and machine learning. The GraphBLAS standard currently supports hypergraphs, hypersparse matrices, the mathematics required for semilinks, and seamlessly performs graph, network, and matrix operations. With the addition of key based indices (such as pointers to strings) and semilinks, GraphBLAS can become a richer associative array algebra and be a plug-in replacement for spreadsheets, database tables, and data centric operating systems, enhancing the navigation of unstructured data found in digital hyperspace.

description: Practicing tasks in Virtual Reality (VR) environment has shown to be effective for gain in cognitive and motor functions in post stroke individuals. However, there are few information about how the motor learning process of tasks with different demands occurs in this population, and if there are differences when compared with healthy individuals. The aim of the present study was to investigate the motor learning process of eight VR’s tasks with different cognitive and motor demands, in post stroke individuals (Experimental Group-EG), and compare it with healthy individuals (Control Group-CG). Eighteen individuals participated in the study performing eight sessions of practice, four for each task. The study involved: pre-test (1 session), acquisition phase (4 sessions for each task), post-test (1 session), and retention test (1 session after thirty days since the end of acquisition phase). The statistical analysis was run by a 2 x 3 ANOVA (groups x learning tests) with Tukey post hoc. At the end, EG group was able to learn three tasks, while CG learned four, one more than the ones learned by the post-stroke individuals. Task’s complexity affected, in more intensely the motor learning process in post-stroke individuals that with eight sessions were able to learn only low-complexity tasks.

description: Στα πλαίσια της εργασίας αναπτύχθηκε ένα μοντέλο υστέρησης συνδυάζοντας τα μοντέλα Preisach και Stoner Wohlfarth, με έμφαση στη δυνατότητα προσδιορισμού των φυσικών παραμέτρων ενός μαγνητικού μέσου. Το μέσο θεωρείται τρισδιάστατο και οι γωνίες των εύκολων αξόνων των σωματιδίων έχουν διασπορά στο χώρο. Οι συνεισφορές μαγνήτισης του κάθε σωματιδίου στο μέσο υπολογίζονται με τη βοήθεια του μοντέλου SW και θεωρείται ένας συντελεστής ψαλιδισμού. Τα σωματίδια αλληλεπιδρούν μεταξύ τους και οι αλληλεπιδράσεις αυτές έχουν έναν όρο κοινό για όλα τα σωματίδια και ανάλογο της μαγνήτισης του μέσου και έναν όρο, αντίστοιχο με τη θεώρηση του κλασσικού μοντέλου Preisach, που δίνει την απόκλιση από τον μέσο όρο. Σημαντική διαφοροποίηση αυτής της εργασίας είναι οι διευθύνσεις και των δύο όρων θεωρούνται παράλληλες με τη διεύθυνση του διανύσματος της μαγνήτισης του μέσου. Το μοντέλο δοκιμάστηκε κάνοντας προσαρμογή σε πειραματικά δεδομένα για πέντε διαφορετικά μαγνητικά μέσα. Δίνοντας έμφαση στην βέλτιστη προσαρμογή του μέγιστου κύκλου κατά τη διεύθυνση προσανατολισμού του μέσου και κατά την κάθετη προς αυτήν, χαράκτηκαν ισόθερμες καμπύλες παραμένουσας μαγνήτισης κατά τη μαγνήτιση(IRM) και καμπύλες παραμένουσας μαγνήτισης κατά την απομαγνήτιση(DCD) και καμπύλες δΜ για τις δύο διευθύνσεις που χαράχτηκαν και οι μέγιστοι κύκλοι και έγινε σύγκριση των αποτελεσμάτων με πειραματικές καμπύλες, δείχνοντας ιδιαίτερα καλή συμφωνία
description: A Hysteresis model has been developed combining the Preisach and the Stoner-Wohlfarth models, with the primary goal of determining the physical parameters of a magnetic medium. The medium is assumed three-dimensional and the angles of the easy axes of the particles are distributed in three dimensions. The magnetic contribution of each particle is calculated using the Stoner-Wohlfarth model and a truncation coefficient is considered. Particle interactions are taken into account tha have a mean term for all particles, which is propostional to the medium magnetization and a term, as in the classical Preisach model, that accounts for the flunctuations from the mean term. Distinguishing differentiation of the proposed model is that the axes of both interaction field terms are considered along the direction of the medium magnetization. The model has been tested thoroughly on five different magnetic media. Primary goal of the identification process has been to obtain the best fot on the major loops(longitudinal-transverse). Subsequently, Isothermal Remanence curves (IRM), DC Demagnetization Remanence Curves and δΜ curves for both the lognitudinal and transverse directions have been produced and have been compared to experimental curves. the agreement has been shown to be very good

description: This paper completes and comments on some aspects of our previous publications. In ref [1], we have derived a set of space-time transformations referred to as the extended space-time transformations. These transformations, which assume the existence of a preferred aether frame and the variability of the one-way speed of light in the other frames, are compared to the Lorentz-Poincare transformations. We demonstrate that the extended transformations can be converted into a set of equations that have a similar mathematical form to the Lorentz-Poincare transformations, but which differ from them in that they connect reference frames whose co-ordinates are altered by the systematic unavoidable measurement distortions due to length contraction and clock retardation and by the usual synchronization procedures, a fact that the conventional approaches of relativity do not show. As a result, we confirm that the relativity principle is not a fundamental principle of physics [i.e, it does not rigorously apply in the physical world when the true co-ordinates are used]. It is contingent but seems to apply provided that the distorted coordinates are used. The apparent invariance of the speed of light also results from the measurement distortions. The space-time transformations relating experimental data, therefore, conceal hidden variables which deserved to be disclosed for a deeper understanding of physics.

description: Tennis is an individual sport that requires a specialized training and match preparation for every player. Former studies in tennis have tried many approaches to analyze player’s performance using descriptive statistics (such as: match time, rally duration, or game number) and match-related statistics (such as: first and second serve percentage, aces, double faults, or net points won). Although helpful in providing general information of match characteristics and evaluating player performance, there is scarce consideration over how elite male players behave on point-by-point basis according to different contextual variables. This study aimed to assess predictors of point outcome (win/lose) related to year, tournament types, round, set, quality of opposition, game status, serve and rally by using match data of 2011-2016 four Grand Slam. A total of 29675 points were recorded and analyzed through classification tree analysis (exhaustive CHAID). The results showed that the performance of tennis player was conditioned by the familiarity with court surfaces as well as other contextual variables, such as game type, quality of opposition, match status, serve and return and rally length (p< 0.05). These results provide insight for coaches and players when planning the game strategy, allowing more appropriate tactics under different game status.

description: Der Text entstand als Weihnachtsgruß für die Mitglieder des Vereins für Stadtgeschichte Halle (Saale) und reflektiert Ereignisse der Weihnachtszeit im Dezember 1920 in einem sehr breiten, dezidiert kulturwissenschaftlichen Panorama. Betrachtet wird die Entwicklung der Einkaufskultur und die Ausgestaltung von weihnachtlichen Traditionen in Zeiten des Mangels und der politischen Auseinandersetzung. Skizziert werden die im Dezember im Stadtrat verhandelten Diskussionen, die sich etwa um die Unterstützung der Kriegsverwundeten, die Schaffung von Gemeinschaftsschulen oder Spendenaktionen für ganz verschiedene politische Ambitionen und soziale Projekte. ). Zudem kam es durch die Verhaftung des Redakteurs Viktor Stern (1885-1958) selbst in der Vorweihnachtszeit zu neuen Massenkundgebungen und Streiks in der Stadt. Ein Blick auf kulturelle Veranstaltungen und die Folgen der Spanischen Grippe runden den Blick auf die gesamte städtische Gesellschaft ab. The text was written as a Christmas greeting for the members of the Verein für Stadtgeschichte Halle (Saale) and reflects events of the Christmas season in December 1920 in a very broad, decidedly cultural-scientific panorama. It looks at the development of shopping culture and the shaping of Christmas traditions in times of scarcity and political conflict. The discussions that took place in the city council in December are sketched out, which, for example, dealt with the support of the war-wounded, the creation of community schools or fundraising campaigns for very different political ambitions and social projects. ). In addition, the arrest of the editor Viktor Stern (1885-1958) led to new mass rallies and strikes in the city even in the pre-Christmas period. A look at cultural events and the consequences of the Spanish flu round off the view of urban society as a whole.
Housing natives in northern regions : a comparative analysis of approaches in Canada, the United States, and the USSR

description: Using a cross-national comparative approach, this thesis examines the Native housing crisis in the Northwest Territories, Alaska, and northern USSR from 1980 to 1990. The affordability, adequacy, and suitability of public and private sector housing is analyzed, as well as their structural and cultural limitations in a northern context. This study found that many low and moderate-income Natives in these regions are unable to afford expensive market rental housing, are ineligible for government or company accommodation or sheltered in overcrowded public housing. Premised on non-Native values and market assumptions, public and private sector housing is exclusionary and discriminates against a Native way of life, and has created the conditions in which people are polarized based on income and tenure. Given the failure of public and private sector housing to meet the shelter requirements of Natives, this thesis argues that there is a need for community-based housing alternatives. Housing co-operatives have the potential to increase security of tenure as well as the stock of decent and affordable housing, and to reduce cultural cleavages and socio-tenurial polarization through meaningful social and income-mixing. By responding to Native housing needs in such a culturally-sensitive manner, co-operatives have the potential to reduce dependencies on housing agencies and the private sector by effectively shifting control of housing to the community as a whole. Given the potential of housing co-operatives, however, this tenure has made relatively few inroads into the Northwest Territories, Alaska, and northern USSR. This study concludes that problems of implementation and affordability, privatism and inertia in housing policy, and a dependency on public and private sector housing have impeded the wider development of northern co-operatives.
