description: Σκοπός της παρούσας διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη των παιδαγωγικών αρχών του Πλάτωνα μέσα από δυο διαλόγους του. Αρχικά έγινε μια αναφορά στον κοινωνικός ρόλος της παιδείας, αλλά και στη συμβολή του αρχαιοελληνικού πολιτισμού στην εκπαίδευση των νέων. Παρουσιάστηκαν εν συντομία ποικίλα εκπαιδευτικά συστήματα που προηγήθηκαν του Πλάτωνα και αποτέλεσαν σταθμό στις ιστορικές εξελίξεις της εποχής. Στο κύριο μέρος της διπλωματικής εργασίας αναλύθηκαν οι απόψεις του Πλάτωνα για την παιδεία έτσι όπως εφαρμόζονταν στην Ακαδημία του. Έγινε διεξοδική εξέταση του διαλόγου «Πολιτεία» και του τρόπου εκπαίδευσης των φυλάκων και των βασιλέων, καθώς και του ρόλου της μουσικής, της γυμναστικής και της ποίησης. Στη συνέχεια ερευνήθηκε ο διάλογος «Νόμοι» και πιο συγκεκριμένα οι αρχές περί βίου που αναφέρονται σε αυτόν, η σημασία της γραπτής νομοθεσίας και το πώς ερμηνεύεται η παιδεία. Ο επίλογος της διατριβής ασχολείται με το ρόλο της φιλοσοφίας στη σημερινή παιδαγωγική, συγκριτικά με το ρόλο της στην αγωγή της Αρχαίας Ελλάδας
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of Plato’s pedagogical principles through two of his dialogues. The social role of schooling was mentioned initially, together with the contribution of the ancient Greek culture to youths’ education. There was a brief presentation of various educational systems prior to Plato that were considered milestones in the historical developments of the era. In the dissertation’s main part, Plato’s opinions on education were analyzed, according to how they were practiced in his Academy. A thorough examination of the dialogue “Republic” and the auxiliaries and guardians’ education was made, as well as the role of music, gymnastics and poetry. Furthermore the dialogue “Laws” was researched and more specifically the principles on the way of living that are mentioned, the importance of written laws and how education is interpreted. The thesis’ epilogue has to do with the role of philosophy in today’s pedagogic, compared to its role in the education of Ancient Greece.

description: Mathematical theory of an observer is elaborated upon the basis of A.Poincare's ideas on the nature of geometry and the role of observer's perceptive space. The said theory is generalizing reference frames theory in GR. Physical structure (P-structure) and corresponding physical geometry (P-geometry) notions, representing properties invariance of some physical objects and their relations, are introduced. P-structure of classical physical time and its corresponding chronogeometry is considered as an example. Some quantitative characteristics of observer's visual space geometry are experimentally determined. The affine model of visual geometry is offered to interpret experimentally sampled data. The connection of the obtained results with some problems of theoretical physics is being discussed.

description: The probability number distribution function of binary black hole mergers observed by LIGO/Virgo O3a has double peaks as a function of chirp mass $M_c$, total mass $M_t$, primary black hole mass $M_1$ and secondary one $M_2$, respectively. The larger chirp mass peak is at $M_c \cong 30 M_{\odot}$. The distribution of $M_2$ vs. $M_1$ follows the relation of $M_2\cong 0.7M_1$. For initial mass functions of Population III stars in the form of $f(M) \propto M^{-α}$, population synthesis numerical simulations with $0\leq α\leq 1.5$ are consistent with O3a data for $M_c \gtrsim 20M_{\odot}$. The distribution of $M_2$ vs. $M_1$ for simulation data also agrees with $M_2\cong 0.7M_1$ relation of O3a data.

description: The effects of neutron skin on the multiplicity ($N_{\rm ch}$) and eccentricity($ε_2$) in relativistic $^{96}_{44}$Ru+$^{96}_{44}$Ru and $^{96}_{40}$Zr+$^{96}_{40}$Zr collisions at $\sqrt{s_{_{\rm NN}}}=200$ GeV are investigated with the Trento model. It is found that the Ru+Ru/Zr+Zr ratios of the $N_{\rm ch}$ distributions and $ε_{2}$ in mid-central collisions are exquisitely sensitive to the neutron skin type (skin vs.~halo). The state-of-the-art calculations by energy density functional theory (DFT) favor the halo-type neutron skin and can soon be confronted by experimental data. It is demonstrated that the halo-type density can serve as a good surrogate for the DFT density, and thus can be efficiently employed to probe nuclear deformities by using elliptic flow data in central collisions. We provide hereby a proof-of-principle venue to simultaneously determine the neutron skin type, thickness, and nuclear deformity.

description: Analyzing carefully an experimentally feasible non-entangled single qubit quantum secret sharing protocol and its modified version [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 230505 (2005); ibid. 98, 028902 (2007)], it is found that both versions are insecure against coherent attacks though the original idea is so remarkable. To overcome this fatal flaw, here we propose a protocol with a distinct security checking strategy, which still involves single qubit operations only, making it possible to achieve better security of quantum secret sharing with current technology.

description: Οι πόλεμοι και τρομοκρατικές επιθέσεις των τελευταίων χρόνων φέρνουν στο προσκήνιο τη σχετική με την πολιτική βία προβληματική. Σημαντικοί παράγοντες για την εκδήλωση της πολιτικής βίας είναι μεταξύ άλλων, η οικονομική ευημερία ενός κράτους και οι κοινωνικές ταυτότητες. Η πολιτική βία συνυπάρχει με την «κουλτούρα της βίας». Η εκπαίδευση ως τόπος συνάντησης της κοινωνίας, της οικονομίας και της πολιτικής τίθεται στο επίκεντρο της προσπάθειάς μας να ερμηνεύσουμε την πολιτική βία, να αποκαλύψουμε τις διάφορες μορφές της και να την αντιμετωπίσουμε, δημιουργώντας πολίτες ανθεκτικούς σ’ αυτή. Η παρούσα εργασία έχει ως στόχο να διερευνήσει τη σχέση εκπαίδευσης της πολιτικής βίας, όπως αυτή γίνεται αντιληπτή από εκπαιδευτικούς της πρωτοβάθμιας εκπαίδευσης του δήμου Θεσσαλονίκης. Η στρατηγική της έρευνάς μας είναι η Μελέτη Περίπτωσης και η τεχνική που ακολουθήσαμε για τη συλλογή των δεδομένων είναι αυτή των ημιδομημένων κατά πρόσωπο συνεντεύξεων. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνάς μας δείχνουν ότι στο ελληνικό εκπαιδευτικό σύστημα ενυπάρχει μια έμμεση βία, η οποία σχετίζεται κυρίως με την ουδετερότητα ή την μεροληψία των αναλυτικών προγραμμάτων, την έλλειψη κριτικής συνειδητοποίησης και τους περιορισμούς που θέτει στους εκπαιδευτικούς και στους μαθητές
description: The wars and the terroristic incidents over the last few years highlight as flawed the relevant political violence. Significant factors for the demonstration of political violence are among others, the thriving financial condition of a country and the social identities in it. Political violence coexists with the "culture of violence". Education, as a common setting of society, economy and politics, is in the foreground to portray political violence, to reveal the various aspects of it, face it and shape resistant to it citizens at the same time. This assignment targets to explore the relationship of the education of political violence in a way that it is perceived by teachers in primary schools in Thessaloniki. The strategy of our research is Case Study and the chosen technique for the data collection is the one of semi-structured individual interviews. The results display that in the Greek educational system dominates an indirect form of violence, which is mainly related to neutrality or bias of detailed programs, the lack of critical realization and the limitations which address both teachers And students

Ένα ξεχωριστό κεφάλαιο είναι αφιερωμένο στη διδασκαλία του αγίου Πορφυρίου του Καυσοκαλυβίτη για τον πόνο και για την ασθένεια και στον τρόπο της υπέρβασής αυτών με την πνευματική χαρά. Το τελευταίο, τέταρτο, κεφάλαιο παρουσιάζει αναλυτικά τη σημασία της πνευματικής μελέτης, της ψαλμωδίας και της κτίσης στην απόκτηση της χαράς
description: In the present thesis, there is a focus on spiritual joy according to the life and teachings of Saint Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia. The first chapter outlines the presence of spiritual joy within the Church. Portrayed here is the role of Divine love in attaining spiritual joy, the importance of love for one’s neighbour and the power of the Church’s Mysteries. The second chapter also sees spiritual asceticism as a source of joy in the course of the Christian life through works of love, humility, and the keeping of the Commandments. Another chapter is devoted to the teachings of St. Porphyrios of Kavsokalyvia concerning illnesses and bodily pains, and the way in which they are overcome by means of spiritual joy. Finally, the last chapter analytically portrays the importance of spiritual reading, the psalms, and all of creation in the acquiring of spiritual joy
Atom-dimer and dimer-dimer scatterings in a spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas

description: Using the diagrammatic approach, here we study how spin-orbit coupling (SOC) affects the fermion-dimer and dimer-dimer scattering lengths in the Born approximation, and benchmark their accuracy with the higher-order approximations. We consider both isotropic and Rashba couplings in three dimensions, and show that the Born approximation gives accurate results in the $1/(m αa_s) \ll -1$ limit, where $m$ is the mass of the fermions, $α$ is the strength of the SOC, and $a_s$ is the $s$-wave scattering length between fermions. This is because the higher-loop contributions form a perturbative series in the $1/(m αa_s) < 0$ region that is controlled by the smallness of the residue $Z$ of the dimer propagator. In sharp contrast, since $Z$ grows with the square-root of the binding energy of the dimer in the $1/(m αa_s) > 0$ region, all of the higher-loop contributions are of similar order.

description: We are presenting a set of multilingual text analysis tools that can help analysts in any field to explore large document collections quickly in order to determine whether the documents contain information of interest, and to find the relevant text passages. The automatic tool, which currently exists as a fully functional prototype, is expected to be particularly useful when users repeatedly have to sieve through large collections of documents such as those downloaded automatically from the internet. The proposed system takes a whole document collection as input. It first carries out some automatic analysis tasks (named entity recognition, geo-coding, clustering, term extraction), annotates the texts with the generated meta-information and stores the meta-information in a database. The system then generates a zoomable and hyperlinked geographic map enhanced with information on entities and terms found. When the system is used on a regular basis, it builds up a historical database that contains information on which names have been mentioned together with which other names or places, and users can query this database to retrieve information extracted in the past.

description: The aim of the present paper is to examine the issue of school choice kai the alternative forms of education that have been implemented in various countries, mainly in USA. Furthermore, we analyzed the definition and the characteristics of the privatization of education which is a global phenomenon with multiple manifestations. Privatization tendencies in public education were supported by neoliberal political forces that promoted the introduction of concepts such as school effectiveness, school efficiency and evaluation. Another aim of the study is to highlight the means by which Greek governments attempt to adopt international educational standards under the pressure of international organizations such as the OECD and the World Bank

description: We study the interplay between Mott physics, driven by Coulomb repulsion U, and Hund physics, driven by Hund's coupling J, for a minimal model for Hund metals, the orbital-symmetric three-band Hubbard-Hund model (3HHM) for a lattice filling of 1/3. Hund-correlated metals are characterized by spin-orbital separation (SOS), a Hund's-rule-induced two-stage Kondo-type screening process, in which spin screening occurs at much lower energy scales than orbital screening. By contrast, in Mott-correlated metals, lying close to the phase boundary of a metal-insulator transition, the SOS window becomes negligibly small and the Hubbard bands are well separated. Using dynamical mean-field theory and the numerical renormalization group as real-frequency impurity solver, we identify numerous fingerprints distinguishing Hundness from Mottness in the temperature dependence of various physical quantities. These include ARPES-type spectra, the local self-energy, static local orbital and spin susceptibilities, resistivity, thermopower, and lattice and impurity entropies. Our detailed description of the behavior of these quantities within the context of a simple model Hamiltonian will be helpful for distinguishing Hundness from Mottness in experimental and theoretical studies of real materials.

description: The present theses investigate the effects of an intervention program to support an adult with Intellectual Disability to integrate into a non-disabled adult recreational activity. The recreational activity which was chosen according to the sybject’s wish was the class of traditional dances of a cultural Institute in an area of Thessaloniki. The components of intervention were the assessment of motor skills, dance performance, as well as following the dance class’s rules and social behavior. The BOT-2 tool and the Scale Classified Criteria (rubric) for the evaluation of Greek traditional dance were used in this program, while protocols were developed to evaluate rules of functioning and social behavior. The intervention program included training in a variety of methods and motor skills training in physical education. The intervention was associated with the development of some motor skills, the improvement of the performance of the dances selected to evaluate the program, and enhancement of the rules of operation and improving social behavior within the class. The findings are discussed in terms of the importance of inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities and the benefits of traditional dance

description: Searches for new leptophobic resonances at high energy colliders usually target their decay modes into pairs of light quarks, top quarks, or standard model bosons. Additional decay modes may also be present, producing signatures to which current searches are not sensitive. We investigate the performance of generic searches that look for resonances decaying into two large-radius jets. As benchmark for our analysis we use a supersymmetric $\text{U}(1)'$ extension of the Standard Model, the so-called U$μν$SSM, where all the SM decay modes of the $Z'$ boson take place, plus additional (cascade) decays into new scalars. The generic searches use a generic multi-pronged jet tagger and take advantage of the presence of $b$ quarks in the large-radius jets, and are sensitive to all these $Z'$ decay modes (except into light quarks) at once. For couplings that are well below current experimental constraints, these generic searches are sensitive at the $3σ-4σ$ level with Run 2 LHC data.

description: We present a reformulation of general relativity as a `generalized' Yang--Mills theory of gravity, using a SO(3,C) gauge connection and the self-dual Weyl tensor as dynamical variables. This formulation uses Plebanski's theory as the starting point, and obtains a new action called the instanton representation (IRPG). This paper has yielded a collection of various new results, which show that the IRPG is indeed a fundamentally new approach to GR which should not be confused with existing approaches. Additionally, the IRPG appears to provide a realization of the relation amongst general relativity, Yang--Mills theory and instantons.

description: The aim of the present thesis was an effort to focus on the subjects that arise from the conflict between the registered area and the declared during the cadastral process and potential ways of directing it. The divergence between the registered area of the Cadastre and the declared, beyond the degree dictated by existing provisions, for any reason that was caused, requires its correction and as a consequence the creation of legal and technical topics that need to be further addressed. Basic concepts of technical and legal issues pertaining to the registered area were introduced and cases of operating the type of acceptable divergence in real estate in urban and rural areas were looked at

Bowen and Epstein’s work (1, 16), a systematic investigation of particle deposition and release from and to aqueous suspensions in fi.illy developed laminar flow, was extended to turbulent flows in the present experimental study. The experimental investigation was carried out using uniform, spherical, silica particles (0.881 p.m diameter) and a rectangular channel (10 mm x 12 mm) constructed from plate glass cemented to a stainless steel supporting structure. The plate glass was coated with a plastic to achieve suitable surface conditions. The measurements of deposition and release of negatively charged silica spheres onto and from a positively charged plastic substrate was greatly facilitated by employing a direct microscopic technique and an image analysis system. Under the conditions of the present experiments, it was found that the rate of release from the channel surface was not observable. Thus, the declining rate of accumulation with time observed in most experimental runs could only be attributed to the declining deposition rate. The measured initial rates of deposition were found to be in good agreement with those predicted by theories of Bowen (1) and Epstein (10, 62) for laminar and turbulent flows, respectively. The initial deposition rate was observed to be influenced by the suspension flow rate and the magnitude of the positive wall zeta-potential. It was found that the concentration of deposited particles reached an asymptotic value for those runs which were performed long enough. The particle surface coverage never exceeded 3.5%.
Dynamic simulation of a recausticizing plant

description: The recausticizing plant has been recognized as a very important part of the Kraft pulping process. Because of the multiple objectives involved in the operation of the recausticizing plant, different operating conditions, and the complex interdependencies of the various units of the system, the best operating conditions are not obvious. A dynamic model was developed to study the effect of the different operating conditions and the effect of different disturbances and interconnections between the various units on the overall behaviour of a recausticizing plant. Both the thermodynamic and kinetic behaviour of the causticizing reaction have been investigated. A new approach for describing the equilibrium and kinetics of the causticizing reaction was developed, which takes into consideration the nonideality of the green and white liquor. It was found that both the equilibrium and kinetics of the causticizing reaction can be well represented by this approach. A simplified and accurate method was used for describing the lime mud free settling process. Models for all the units in the plant were developed and presented. The models were based on mass balance equations and the pertinent physical properties. The effects of disturbances and different operating conditions were simulated for the entire plant. Simulations showed the complicated dynamic responses of the system and the importance of the control system to achieve better operations. This work has brought to light some previously less known facts about the recausticizing process, and can be used to develop and compare different control strategies before they are implemented in the mills.

description: Coulomb spin liquids are topological magnetic states obeying an emergent Gauss' law. Little distinction has been made between different kinds of Coulomb liquids. Here we show how a series of distinct Coulomb liquids can be generated straightforwardly by varying the constraints on a classical spin system. This leads to pair creation, and coalescence, of topological defects of an underlying vector field. The latter makes higher-rank spin liquids, of recent interest in the context of fracton theories, with attendant multi-fold pinch points in the structure factor, appear naturally. New Coulomb liquids with an abundance of pinch points also arise. We thus establish a new and general route to uncovering exotic Coulomb liquids, via the manipulation of topological defects in momentum space.

description: The resonant interaction between kinetic Alfvén and ion-acoustic waves is considered using the Hall-MHD theory. The results of previous authors are generalized to cover both finite Larmor radius as well as the ideal MHD results. It is found that the three wave coupling is strongest when the wavelength is comparable to the ion-sound gyroradius. Applications of our work to weak turbulence theories as well as to the heating of the solar corona are pointed out.

title: Cellular Responses to Calcified Particles, their Pathological Consequences, and Investigations into How They Can Be Avoided
Creators: name: Sharma, Kumar

description: Smooth muscle cells are critical in maintaining the stability of atherosclerotic plaques. Necrosis of 
smooth muscle cells was found to be increased in advanced atherosclerotic lesions concomitant 
with precipitation of calcium-phosphate particles (Bennett, Sinha et al. 2016). Previous studies 
have shown that these calcium-phosphate particles interact with smooth muscle cell and are
processed intracellularly through acidic vesicles or other mechanisms (Ewence, Bootman et al. 
2008). Whilst the calcium-phosphate particles are believed to be deleterious for plaque stability, 
the reasons are not fully clear.


This study examined the cytotoxic effect of calcium-phosphate particles on smooth muscle cells. A 
consistent observation was that the calcium-phosphate particles triggered rapid smooth muscle 
cell death by causing an irreversible increase in cytosolic calcium and membrane rupture. A key 
aim of this study was to find ways in which the pathological calcium signals and loss of cell 
integrity caused by calcium-phosphate particles could be reduced. Consequently, pharmacological 
modulators of cellular calcium signalling and membrane repair proteins were used to test the 
hypothesis that smooth muscle cells could be protected from the deleterious actions of calcium-phosphate particles.


Detailed characterisation of cellular calcium responses indicated that calcium-phosphate particles 
trigger four distinct responses in cells, 1) cells that did not respond to CaP during a 45-minute 
incubation; 2) cells that responded to CaP, but survived a 45-minute incubation; 3) cells that died 
during a 45-minute incubation with CaP incubation and displayed Ca2+ oscillation(s) before the 
point of death; 4) cells that died during a 45-minute incubation CaP incubation, but did not display
any Ca2+ oscillation. The cytotoxic effect of calcium-phosphate particles in smooth muscle cells 
was reduced by a number of treatments, including bafilomycin, increased inositol 1, 4, 5-trisphosphate hydrolysis, and over-expression of annexins. However, inhibiting the sarco-endoplasmic reticulum pump, store-operated calcium channels, or disrupting the mitochondrial membrane potential did not alter the cytotoxic effect of calcium-phosphate particles. These data indicate that either reducing cytotoxic calcium signalling or increasing the membrane repair capacity of smooth muscle cells may plausibly enable smooth muscle cells within atherosclerotic plaques to withstand the accumulation of calcium-phosphate precipitations and thereby promote plaque stability.

description: Genetic Programming (GP) is known to suffer from the burden of being computationally expensive by design. While, over the years, many techniques have been developed to mitigate this issue, data vectorization, in particular, is arguably still the most attractive strategy due to the parallel nature of GP. In this work, we employ a series of benchmarks meant to compare both the performance and evolution capabilities of different vectorized and iterative implementation approaches across several existing frameworks. Namely, TensorGP, a novel open-source engine written in Python, is shown to greatly benefit from the TensorFlow library to accelerate the domain evaluation phase in GP. The presented performance benchmarks demonstrate that the TensorGP engine manages to pull ahead, with relative speedups above two orders of magnitude for problems with a higher number of fitness cases. Additionally, as a consequence of being able to compute larger domains, we argue that TensorGP performance gains aid the discovery of more accurate candidate solutions.

description: We show that atoms or molecules subject to fields that couple their internal and translational (momentum) states may undergo a crossover from randomization (diffusion) to strong localization (sharpening) of their momentum distribution. The predicted crossover should be manifest by a drastic change of the interference pattern as a function of the coupling fields.

description: The Teukolsky Master Equation describes the dynamics of massless fields with spin on a Kerr black hole. Under separation of variables, spin-reversal for this equation is accomplished through the so-called Teukolsky--Starobinsky identities. These identities are associated to the so-called Teukolsky--Starobinsky constants, which are spin-dependent. We collect some properties of the Teukolsky--Starobinsky constants and dispel some myths present in the literature. We show that, contrary to popular belief, these constants can be negative for spin larger than 2. Such fields thus exhibit a novel form of energy amplification which occurs for non-superradiant frequencies.

description: We consider a "length-biased" shift-dependent information measure, related to the differential entropy in which higher weight is assigned to large values of observed random variables. This allows us to introduce the notions of "weighted residual entropy" and "weighted past entropy", that are suitable to describe dynamic information of random lifetimes, in analogy with the entropies of residual and past lifetimes introduced in [9] and [6], respectively. The obtained results include their behaviors under monotonic transformations.

description: This case study examines the effects of teaching interventions on adult pupils / refugees from Syria through the program «Teaching Language from the Refugee Perspective». This program adopted as a method of teaching bilingualism practices, which argues that bilinguals speakers have a single linguistic repertoire, which is not divided into two independent linguistic systems (L1 and L2). Applying this practice to the educational process, the teachers who adopt it argue that learning is based on past experiences of pupils as well as the utilization of the entire language repertoire of all pupils. This study through the observation method identifies the instructional practices of bilingualism adopted by the teachers of the program, the benefits of using bilingualism in empowering the minority identities of pupils with their classmates as well 7 as with the program instructors, as well as language acquisition and literacy in the target language. Finally, the semi-structured interview explores the attitudes of particular students regarding their linguistics and experience of living between two worlds
