description: Η ανάπτυξη των κοινωνικών ιστοριών έχει κάνει φανερή την επίδρασή τους στην εκπαίδευση και υποστήριξη παιδιών που βρίσκονται στο φάσμα του αυτισμού (ΔΑΦ) αλλά και στα παιδιά με Διαταραχή ελλειμματικής προσοχής και υπερκινητικότητας (ΔΕΠΥ). Αναπτύχθηκαν από την Carol Gray τη δεκαετία του ’90, με την ίδια να έχει στο ενεργητικό της τη συγγραφή πολλών βιβλίων και άρθρων. Η χρήση της μεθοδολογίας που ανέπτυξε για τις κοινωνικές ιστορίες, χρησιμοποιείται ευρέως έως και σήμερα ώστε να βοηθήσει παιδιά με ΔΑΦ να κατανοήσουν - αλλά και να μπορέσουν να διαχειριστούν - κοινωνικές καταστάσεις. Στην παρακάτω διπλωματική εργασία, δημιουργήθηκαν κοινωνικές ιστορίες οι οποίες: i. Είναι δημιουργίες τεχνητής νοημοσύνης κατ’ αποκλειστικότητα. ii. Διατηρούν έναν κοινό ψηφιακό χαρακτήρα (ανάλογα το παιδί) σε μορφή καρτούν ή κόμικς. iii. Επικεντρώνονται σε ζητήματα της καθημερινότητας κι αλλάζουν ανάλογα την περίσταση. Η διπλωματική αυτή εργασία στοχεύει να αναδείξει εναλλακτικούς τρόπους σύνδεσης της καθημερινής ζωής με την τεχνολογία και την τεχνητή νοημοσύνη ώστε να συνεισφέρει στην κατανόηση και την εφαρμογή των δυνατοτήτων της τεχνητής νοημοσύνης στην εκπαίδευση και υποστήριξη παιδιών με ΔΑΦ και ΔΕΠΥ, προσφέροντας νέες προοπτικές και εργαλεία για τη δημιουργία κοινωνικών ιστοριών με έναν διαφορετικό τρόπο, ώστε να βελτιώσει την ποιότητα ζωής και μάθησης αυτών των παιδιών, κερδίζοντας το ενδιαφέρον τους και κάνοντάς τες πιο προσωποποιημένες.

description: Under-representation of women in the engineering profession continues to be a problem in Australia and around the western world. Unlike other studies, this study adopted a unique research approach to better understand factors influencing the decision-making processes explaining women engineers' participation in tertiary studies and the skilled workforce. In this thesis, surveys conducted with alumni reaffirmed factors influencing women's attrition and retention in the engineering workforce. Moreover, surveys and interviews with undergraduate and postgraduate students revealed four key findings that contribute new knowledge towards formulating strategies focused on improving the under-representation of women in engineering studies and the profession.

description: Numerous wave and gap features observed in Voyager data of Saturn's rings are produced by resonances between the orbital frequencies of known external satellites and ring particle orbits. The possibility that other, currently unassociated, ring features are generated by perturbations on ring participle orbits are investigated. These perturbations are produced by non-axisymmetric gravitational fields resulting from acoustic oscillation modes of the planet. The frequencies of Saturnian low degree fundamental mode (f-mode) oscillations are calculated for a variety of Saturn interior models. Corrections for rotation, oblateness, and possible differential rotation were applied. Only the low degree f-modes are found to have frequencies and likely wave amplitudes in the range necessary to produce gap or wave features in the rings. The calculated positions of outer Lindblad resonances (OLR) for the degree  \(\ell=2,3,4\), and 5 sectoral f-modes of a single Saturn model lie near four previously unassociated C-ring features. These features are the Maxwell gap and three waves identified as being forced at either OLR or inner vertical resonances. The outer vertical resonance (OVR) of the \(\ell=5\), \(m=4\) mode also overlaps the location of a wave which may be forced at either an OVR or an inner Lindblad resonance. Four other similar wave features, however, cannot be explained by oscillation mode resonances. This failure is the principal inadequacy of the hypothesis. Other observed properties of the wave features; however, are consistent with the proposed forcing including their azimuthal wavenumbers, m, and the variation of amplitude with proposed oscillation mode degree. Planetary oscillation amplitudes of approximately 1 m are required for gap opening; wave amplitudes of approximately 10 cm are required for density wave production. The C-ring thus serves as a very sensitive f-mode detector.

description: Το αντικείμενο αυτής της μελέτης είναι η απάτη στο διαδίκτυο, αναφορικά με τις κατηγορίες της, τη νομική της αντιμετώπιση στον ενωσιακό και ελληνικό χώρο, αλλά και τις μεθόδους προστασίας που υπάγονται στη σφαίρα των ατόμων, επιχειρήσεων και κρατών ενάντια σε αυτό το φαινόμενο. Στην αρχή, πραγματοποιείται μια πραγμάτευση της έννοιας της απάτης και του τρόπου με τον οποίο αυτή διαρθρώνεται σε διαδικτυακό επίπεδο, εισάγοντας νέες προκλήσεις για την καταπολέμησή της. Στη συνέχεια, έγινε αναφορά στους πιο σημαντικούς και συχνούς τύπους διαδικτυακής απάτης ως προς τα χαρακτηριστικά τους και τους τρόπους με τους οποίους χρησιμοποιούνται από τους δράστες. Το τρίτο κεφάλαιο της μελέτης είναι αφιερωμένο στο νομικό πλαίσιο για τη διαδικτυακή απάτη σε διεθνές, ευρωπαϊκό και ελληνικό επίπεδο, ενώ στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο πραγματοποιείται η πραγμάτευση των τρόπων προστασίας για τους ιδιώτες, τις επιχειρήσεις και τους φορείς χάραξης πολιτικής. Είναι, τέλος, εμφανές ότι η διακρατική συνεργασία, η συνέχιση της εναρμόνισης των δικαιικών τάξεων για ένα εντελώς διασυνοριακό πλέον έγκλημα, αλλά και τυχόν partnerships ιδιωτικών και δημόσιων φορέων μπορούν να βοηθήσουν την έννομη τάξη να παραμείνει δίπλα στις εξελίξεις, χωρίς να είναι μονίμως πολλά βήματα πίσω από τους δράστες διαδικτυακής απάτης, οι οποίοι μονίμως αλλάζουν και εξελίσσουν τις μεθόδους τους.
description: The subject of this study is fraud on the internet, regarding its categories, its legal treatment in the EU and Greek area, but also the methods of protection that fall under the sphere of individuals, businesses and states against this phenomenon. At the beginning, there is a discussion of the concept of fraud and how it is structured online, introducing new challenges to combating it. Then, the most important and frequent types of online fraud are mentioned in terms of their characteristics and the ways in which they are used by the perpetrators. The third chapter of the study is dedicated to the legal framework for online fraud at an international, European and Greek level, while the fourth chapter discusses the ways of protection for individuals, businesses and policy makers. It is, finally, evident that transnational cooperation, the continuation of the harmonization of legal systems for a now completely cross-border crime, but also any partnerships of private and public bodies can help the legal system to stay abreast of developments, without being constantly many steps away behind online fraudsters, who are constantly changing and evolving their methods.

description: This thesis explores the implications of the ecological crisis for the relationship between education and economic growth. The thesis is grounded in the researcher’s lived experiences as a primary school teacher in the Latrobe Valley, a region that is economically dependent on significant deposits of brown coal. However, the region is also particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The thesis explores the role of education in this context. It makes an original contribution to knowledge by demonstrating how the concerns of educational policy scholars are interrelated with many of the issues discussed within the field of ecological economics.

description: Judicial bullying will not always be serious and sustained. But it will sometimes be. Then, it will not only be interpersonally unjust. It will have a deeper significance. The law’s most basic purpose is to lift individuals from the domination of public officials and others. Judges are afforded their authority just to uphold the law. What we call judicial bullying can involve the misuse of that authority to dominate others — to lower those others to a peculiar state of domination, under public power. The behaviour, and associated sexual behaviours, are more significant than they seem.

description: Absorption photometers for real time application have been available since the 1980s, but the use of filter-based instruments to derive information on aerosol properties (absorption coefficient and black carbon, BC) is still a matter of debate. Several workshops have been conducted to investigate the performance of individual instruments over the intervening years. Two workshops with large sets of aerosol absorption photometers were conducted in 2005 and 2007. The data from these instruments were corrected using existing methods before further analysis. The inter-comparison shows a large variation between the responses to absorbing aerosol particles for different types of instruments. The unit to unit variability between instruments can be up to 30% for Particle Soot Absorption Photometers (PSAPs) and Aethalometers. Multi Angle Absorption Photometers (MAAPs) showed a variability of less than 5%. Reasons for the high variability were identified to be variations in sample flow and spot size. It was observed that different flow rates influence system performance with respect to response to absorption and instrumental noise. Measurements with non absorbing particles showed that the current corrections of a cross sensitivity to particle scattering are not sufficient. Remaining cross sensitivities were found to be a function of the total particle load on the filter. The large variation between the response to absorbing aerosol particles for different types of instruments indicates that current correction functions for absorption photometers are not adequate.

description: The new portable ice nucleation chamber (PINC) developed by the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Sciences of ETH Zurich was operated during two measurement campaigns at the high alpine research station Jungfraujoch situated at 3580 m a.s.l, in March and June 2009. During this time of the year, a high probability of Saharan dust events (SDE) at the Jungfraujoch has been observed. We used an impactor with a cutoff size of 1 μm aerodynamic diameter and operated the system at −31 °C and relative humidities of 127 % and 91 % with respect to ice and water, respectively. Investigation of the ambient number concentration of ice nuclei (IN) in the deposition nucleation mode and during a SDE in the free troposphere is reported. The results discussed in this paper are the first continuous IN measurements over a period of several days at the Jungfraujoch. The average IN concentration found during the campaign in March was 8 particles per liter whereas during the campaign in June, the average number concentration was higher up to 14 particles per liter. Two SDEs were detected on 15 and 16 June 2009. Our measurements show that the SDEs had IN number concentration up to several hundred per liter. We found the best correlation between the number concentration of the larger particle fraction measured by an optical particle counter and the IN number concentration during a Saharan dust event. This correlation factor is higher for particles larger than 0.5 μm meaning that a higher concentration of larger particles induced higher IN number concentration. No correlation could be found between the black carbon mass concentration and the variations in IN number concentration.

description: Particle emissions from ship engines and their atmospheric transformation in the marine boundary layer (MBL) were investigated in engine test bed studies and in airborne measurements of expanding ship plumes. During the test rig studies, detailed aerosol microphysical and chemical properties were measured in the exhaust gas of a serial MAN B&W seven-cylinder four-stroke marine diesel engine under various load conditions. The emission studies were complemented by airborne aerosol transformation studies in the plume of a large container ship in the English Channel using the DLR aircraft Falcon 20 E-5. Observations from emission studies and plume studies combined with a Gaussian plume dispersion model yield a consistent picture of particle transformation processes from emission to atmospheric processing during plume expansion. Particulate matter emission indices obtained from plume measurements are 8.8±1.0×1015(kg fuel)−1 by number for non-volatile particles and 174±43 mg (kg fuel)−1 by mass for Black Carbon (BC). Values determined for test rig conditions between 85 and 110% engine load are of similar magnitude. For the total particle number including volatile compounds no emission index can be derived since the volatile aerosol fraction is subject to rapid transformation processes in the plume. Ship exhaust particles occur in the size range Dp<0.3 μm, showing a bi-modal structure. The combustion particle mode is centred at modal diameters of 0.05 μm for raw emissions to 0.10 μm at a plume age of 1 h. The smaller-sized volatile particle mode is centred at Dp≤0.02 μm. From the decay of ship exhaust particle number concentrations in an expanding plume, a maximum plume life time of approx. 24 h is estimated for a well-mixed marine boundary layer.

description: Farnesol (FAR) is a sesquiterpene alcohol that exists in many fruits and vegetables and possesses promising anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. Cadmium (Cd) is an environmental pollutant known for its serious health effects. Liver injury associated with oxidative stress is a hazardous consequence of exposure to Cd. This study evaluated the effect of FAR on Cd-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and hepatocyte injury, pinpointing the involvement of NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome axis, TGF-β/Smad3 signaling and PPARγ. FAR was supplemented for 14 days and rats received Cd on day 7. Elevated serum transaminases, ALP and LDH, decreased albumin, and multiple histopathological alterations were observed in Cd-administered rats. Cd increased liver MDA and NO, decreased GSH and antioxidant enzymes, and upregulated NF-κB p65, IL-6, TNF-α, iNOS, NLRP3, ASC, caspase-1, IL-1β, and cleaved caspase-3. TGF-β, Smad3 phosphorylation and α-SMA were upregulated, and collagen deposition was increased in Cd-administered rats. FAR ameliorated liver injury markers and tissue alterations, attenuated oxidative stress, suppressed NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome axis and TGF-β/Smad3 signaling, and enhanced antioxidants. In addition, FAR downregulated caspase-3 and pro-inflammatory cytokines and increased liver PPARγ in Cd-administered rats. In silico, FAR showed affinity to bind ASC and NLRP3 PYD domains, TGF-β, and PPARγ. In conclusion, FAR protects the liver against Cd toxicity by suppressing oxidative stress, inflammatory response and cell death, effects linked to modulation of NF-κB/NLRP3 inflammasome axis, TGF-β/Smad3 signaling and PPARγ.

description: AbstractThe cultivation of Persian walnut (Juglans regia) in Iran is concentrated in the mountainous regions of Zagros and Alborz, encompassing the provinces of Mazandaran, Golestan, Semnan, Kurdistan, Hamedan, Lorestan, Isfahan, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad, Fars and Kerman. Due to the widespread distribution of walnut across Iran, these areas are prone to the spread of chronic bacterial diseases, including shallow bark canker caused by Brenneria nigrifluens. These walnut-growing regions in Iran are also characterized by abundant oak vegetation. However, due to environmental stresses especially drought, the oak population in these areas is declining, leading to climatic changes which in turn increase the risk of diseases caused by emerging and invasive pathogenic agents or host jumping of existing pathogens. Moreover, some of these regions, especially in the central provinces, are located in remote and inaccessible areas or rural villages and less frequented passages, for which disease occurrence has been less documented. Therefore, better understanding the distribution and association of pathogenic bacteria is important, which itself requires accurate identification of these agents. To investigate the footprint of this disease in the mentioned regions, 42 available bacterial strains in the bacterial culture collection at Vali-e-Asr University of Rafsanjan that were collected from these areas were used. Biochemical and pathogenicity tests and molecular analyses of these isolates revealed that B. nigrifluens is the main causal agent of shallow bark canker in these provinces and has been reported as the dominant pathogenic bacterium of bacterial canker disease over the years, whose genetic diversity has been studied by other researchers. Now, with the aim of evaluating factors associated with bacterial canker in walnut and oak trees in remote walnut orchards and oak forests in central Iran, sampling was performed and 80 bacterial isolates were collected from 84 symptomatic walnut trees and 16 symptomatic oak trees. Twenty-one isolates after positive reactions in the hypersensitivity and pathogenicity tests were selected for further analysis. These isolates were classified into two groups of “B. nigrifluens” and “Brenneria-like” based on biochemical similarities to the standard strain (B. nigrifluens ICMP 20120) and using species-specific primers (F1/C3). The “Brenneria-like” group showed different biochemical characteristics compared to the “B. nigrifluens” group. Multilocus sequence analysis using gyrB, rpoB, infB and atpD genes revealed that isolates of the “B. nigrifluens” group belonged to this species, while isolates of the “Brenneria-like” group belonged to Gibbsiella quercinecans.Keywords: Multilocus sequence analysis, Bacterial canker, Walnut, Brenneria nigrifluens, Gibbsiella quercinecans
