description: Τα σύνδρομα παγίδευσης του μέσου νεύρου στο άνω άκρο αποτελούν μια ιδιαίτερη ομάδα παθήσεων με αρκετά κοινά χαρακτηριστικά, γεγονός που καθιστά δύσκολή πολλές φορές τη διαφορική διάγνωση. Επιδημιολογικά συχνότερο από όλα είναι το σύνδρομο του καρπιαίου σωλήνα τόσο στο γενικό πληθυσμό όσο και στους αθλητές. Σκοπός αυτής της εργασίας είναι να διερευνήσει τόσο τις ανατομικές παραλλαγές της παγίδευσης του μέσου νεύρου και των κλάδων του , όσο και την εμφάνιση αυτών στους αθλητές. Οι αθλητές αποτελούν μια ιδιαίτερη ομάδα πληθυσμού η οποία όχι μόνο έχει διαφορετικές ανάγκες ως προς τη διάγνωση και την θεραπεία αλλά και για την αποκατάσταση ιδιαίτερα μετά από μια νευροπάθεια, πριν την επιστροφή στις προπονήσεις. Για τους λόγους αυτούς διενεργήθηκε συστηματική ανασκόπηση της βιβλιογραφίας μέσα από την ιστοσελίδα του PubMed. Συνεπώς, όπως θα αναλύσουμε παρακάτω, περιγράφονται τα σύνδρομα του πρηνιστή, το σύνδρομο παγίδευσης του προσθίου μεσόστεου νεύρου, το σύνδρομο του καρπιαίου σωλήνα και σύνδρομα παγίδευσης δακτυλικών νευρών με τις ανατομικές παραλλαγές τους και τη συχνότητα εμφάνισης του σε διάφορα αθλήματα. Είναι απαραίτητη η γνώση τόσο της ανατομίας των παραπάνω συνδρόμων όσο και της αιτιοπαθογένειας ώστε να γίνει σωστή διάγνωση και να επιλεγεί η κατάλληλη θεραπεία, συντηρητική ή χειρουργική.
description: Median nerve entrapment syndromes at the upper limb are quite special group of neuropathies, with many common clinical features. As a result, the differential diagnosis is quite complex and difficult. The most frequent is the carpal tunnel syndrome both in the general population and also in athletes. The purpose of this diploma is to study the anatomical variations of the entrapment sites of the median nerve and the incidence to athletes. Athletes are a very special group of patients with different needs both in diagnosis and treatment and also in rehabilitation. in consequence a systematic review of the literature was conducted through the website of PubMed. Therefore, the results describe the pronator syndrome, anterior interosseus nerve syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, digital nerves syndrome, the anatomic variants, and the incidence to athletes. Last but not least, the knowledge the anatomy and the etiopathogenesis of these syndromes is extremely important in order to make the correct diagnosis and choose the right therapy.

description: Since Chinaâ€™s application in 1987 to resume its status in the Generalized Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT)/World Trade Organization (WTO) there has been a great deal of debate over the timing of Chinaâ€™s accession. Although most of the issues relating to the timing of Chinaâ€™s trade liberalization have been resolved, the abolition of restrictions on Chinese textiles and clothing may still be subject to delay if the United States and Europe choose to implement the safeguards contained in the their bilateral accession agreements with China as well as in the original Agreement on Textiles and Clothing (ATC). In this paper, the effects of alternative target dates for the elimination of restrictions on textiles quotas are examined. Since this issue revolves fundamentally around the question of timing, it is most appropriately addressed in a dynamic model. In this study we use the Dynamic GTAP model. This is applied to a 19-region by 22-commodity aggregation of the GTAP database, supplemented with foreign income data. The paper finds that timing is indeed an important determinant of the profile of structural adjustment required in China and the rest of the world. In light of their interest in delayed implementation the ATC, it is interesting to note that our results suggest slower elimination of these quotas is detrimental to national welfare in North America and Europe.

description: We propose a method to extract from experimental data the subdiffusion parameter $α$ and subdiffusion coefficient $D_α$ which are defined by means of the relation $ =2D_α/Γ(1+α) t^α$ where $$ denotes a mean square displacement of a random walker starting from $x=0$ at the initial time $t=0$. The method exploits a membrane system where a substance of interest is transported in a solvent from one vessel to another across a thin membrane which plays here only an auxiliary role. Using such a system, we experimentally study a diffusion of glucose and sucrose in a gel solvent. We find a fully analytic solution of the fractional subdiffusion equation with the initial and boundary conditions representing the system under study. Confronting the experimental data with the derived formulas, we show a subdiffusive character of the sugar transport in gel solvent. We precisely determine the parameter $α$, which is smaller than 1, and the subdiffusion coefficient $D_α$.

description: We predict and theoretically study in detail the ratchet effect for the spectral magnetization of periodic discrete time quantum walks (DTQWs) --- a repetition of a sequence of $m$ different DTQWs. These generalized DTQWs are achieved by varying the corresponding coin operator parameters periodically with discrete time. We consider periods $m=1,2,3$. The dynamics of $m$-periodic DTQWs is characterized by a two-band dispersion relation $ω^{(m)}_{\pm}(k)$, where $k$ is the wave vector. We identify a generalized parity symmetry of $m$-periodic DTQWs. The symmetry can be broken for $m=2,3$ by proper choices of the coin operator parameters. The obtained symmetry breaking results in a ratchet effect, i.e. the appearance of a nonzero spectral magnetization $M_s(ω)$. This ratchet effect can be observed in the framework of continuous quantum measurements of the time-dependent correlation function of periodic DTQWs.

description: The outskirts of globular clusters (GCs) simultaneously retain crucial information about their formation mechanism and the properties of their host galaxy. Thanks to the advent of precision astrometry both their morphological and kinematic properties are now accessible. Here we present the first dynamical study of the outskirts of the retrograde GC NGC 3201 until twice its Jacobi radius (< 100 pc), using specifically-selected high-quality astrometric data from Gaia DR2. We report the discovery of a stellar overdensity along the South-East/North-West direction that we identify as tidal tails. The GC is characterized globally by radial anisotropy and a hint of isotropy in the outer parts, with an excess of tangential orbits around the lobes corresponding to the tidal tails, in qualitative agreement with an N-body simulation. Moreover, we measure flat velocity dispersion profiles, reaching values of $3.5\pm0.9$ km/s until beyond the Jacobi radius. While tidal tails could contribute to such a flattening, this high velocity dispersion value is in disagreement with the expectation from the sole presence of potential escapers. To explain this puzzling observation, we discuss the possibility of an accreted origin of the GC, the presence of a dark matter halo --leftover of its formation at high redshift -- and the possible effects of non-Newtonian dynamics. Our study uncovers a new path for the study of GC formation and of the properties of the Milky Way potential in the era of precision astrometry.

description: Youth-specific digital mental health interventions (DMHI) represent an emerging field of study, and aim to increase access, improve socioemotional outcomes, and, where required, support triage to targeted interventions. However, prior reviews have reported inconsistent findings on the clinical effectiveness of such interventions in young adults (12–25 years). Further, shortfalls remain for the impact of guided interventions based on the mode of delivery and the type of human support personnel (e.g., professional or peer) guiding the intervention. In response, this systematic review, co-designed with Australia’s leading mental health organization, aims to assess the effectiveness of guided digital programs in improving youth socioemotional outcomes. Included studies involve young people experiencing mental ill-health, receiving brief (i.e., 1–12 sessions), digitally delivered (at least partially) psychological interventions that were guided or partially guided, tested in a type of experimental study, with a socioemotional outcome. Specific socioemotional outcomes examined were depression, anxiety, stress, wellbeing, mindfulness, and quality of life. A systematic search of the contemporary published and grey literature identified 22,482 records with 32 relevant records published between 2018 and 2023. A narrative synthesis guided integration of findings. Results demonstrated strong evidence for the effectiveness of guided interventions on socioemotional outcomes (i.e., depression, anxiety, stress) yet these effects were short-lived. When factoring in the use of different control groups (i.e., active vs. inactive), inconsistent effects were observed for the socioemotional outcomes of depression, anxiety, and stress. The mode of delivery (i.e., asynchronous, synchronous, combined) and the type of human support personnel did not appear to impact socioemotional outcomes. Results indicate efficacious brief digital interventions for depression and anxiety include refresher/follow-up content, goal setting content, and relapse prevention content. In contrast, poor efficacy is associated with interventions that include homework tasks, self-monitoring, and log-keeping content. PROSPERO, ID CRD42023405812.

The observable we propose is a T-odd asymmetry based on a triple product in neutralino production e^+ e^- -> tilde{chi}^0_i tilde{chi}^0_2, i = 1,...,4, with subsequent leptonic three-body decay tilde{chi}^0_2 -> tilde{chi}^0_1 l^+ l^-, l = e, mu, at an e^+ e^- linear collider with sqrt{s} = 500 GeV and polarised beams. We provide compact analytical formulae for the cross section and the T-odd asymmetry taking into account the complete spin correlations between production and decay. We give numerical predictions for the cross section and the T-odd asymmetry. The asymmetry can go up to 10 %.

description: Excerpts from the report: The United States is a major user of castor oil and the principal importer of castor oil and beans. During the last 10 years, the annual disappearance of castor oil through manufacturing processes in this country has ranged from 116 million pounds for 1947 to 182 million for 1952. During the same period this country's annual imports of castor oil and beans have represented a share of the total world trade ranging from about 46 percent for 1955 to about 84 percent for 1949. The purpose of this castorbean storage study is to determine how long the beans can be stored and maintain their quality. Economic considerations are included of the differences in characteristics and relationships among whole beans, cracked and broken beans, and field-run beans from storage with respect to the quality and quantity of their extracted oil.

description: ABSTRACT: Australian freshwater turtle populations have declined substantially, with consequent losses to aquatic ecosystem functions. A leading hypothesis is that turtles have declined through lost recruitment caused by high nest predation by invasive foxes. The ‘fox hypothesis’ is supported by experiments showing that nest predation rates exceed 95% in many regions. Furthermore, population surveys have repeatedly found absences of juvenile turtles, and headstarting experiments have successfully replaced those juveniles in some species. We are currently leading a nationwide citizen science program, ‘1 Million Turtles’ (1millionturtles.com), to engage local communities to protect turtles from threats like nest predation using a suite of novel approaches. Our key innovation is to leverage community passion and interest for turtles to create positive conservation impacts via a nationwide support network. We provide a data collection tool and framework (TurtleSAT) and self-guided training in conservation methods. We assist with guidance for gaining licencing and permission, and applying for grants. We are evaluating our approach through both the impacts on turtle populations as well as through surveys of our engaged citizen scientists. Ultimately, we aim to create a science-supported, national grassroots conservation model where community champions can lead their own evidence-based approaches to help wildlife.

description: This paper, intended as a literature review of energy behaviour studies, was produced as a component of my comprehensive exams. It provides a critical review of the ways in which energy behaviour has been conceptualized in this literature and highlights the insights from these studies, while suggesting that a practice theoretical approach to the study of energy use might be more appropriate for the understanding of household energy use than approaches that equate behaviour with consumption and expenditure.

Stable solitons in coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations describing Bose-Einstein condensates and nonlinear optical waveguides and cavities

description: We introduce a model of a two-core system, based on an equation of the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) type, coupled to another GL equation, which may be linear or nonlinear. One core is active, featuring intrinsic linear gain, while the other one is lossy. The difference from previously studied models involving a pair of linearly coupled active and passive cores is that the stabilization of the system is provided not by a linear diffusion-like term, but rather by a cubic or quintic dissipative term in the active core. Physical realizations of the models include systems from nonlinear optics (semiconductor waveguides or optical cavities), and a double-cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate with a negative scattering length, in which the active ``cigar'' is an atom laser. The replacement of the diffusion term by the nonlinear loss is principally important, as diffusion does not occur in these physical media, while nonlinear loss is possible. A stability region for solitary pulses is found in the system's parameter space by means of direct simulations. One border of the region is also found in an analytical form by means of a perturbation theory. Moving pulses are studied too. It is concluded that collisions between them are completely elastic, provided that the relative velocity is not too small. The pulses withstand multiple tunneling through potential barriers. Robust quantum-rachet regimes of motion of the pulse in a time-periodic asymmetric potential are found as well.

description: Flux ratio anomalies in strong gravitationally lensed quasars constitute a unique way to probe the abundance of non-luminous dark matter haloes, and hence the nature of dark matter. In this paper we identify double imaged quasars as a statistically efficient probe of dark matter, since they are 20 times more abundant than quadruply imaged quasars. Using N-body simulations that include realistic baryonic feedback, we measure the full distribution of flux ratios in doubly imaged quasars for cold (CDM) and warm dark matter (WDM) cosmologies. Through this method, we fold in two key systematics - quasar variability and line-of-sight structures. We find that WDM cosmologies predict a ~6 per cent difference in the cumulative distribution functions of flux ratios relative to CDM, with CDM predicting many more small ratios. Finally, we estimate that ~600 doubly imaged quasars will need to be observed in order to be able to unambiguously discern between CDM and the two WDM models studied here. Such sample sizes will be easily within reach of future large scale surveys such as Euclid. In preparation for this survey data we require discerning the scale of the uncertainties in modelling lens galaxies and their substructure in simulations, plus a strong understanding of the selection function of observed lensed quasars.

The new regulatory framework that was adopted by the new law 4548/2018 which incorporates art. 9c of the Shareholder Rights Directive 2007/36/EC, amended by the Directive 2017/828/EU introduces the latest attempt to balance the contradicting interests between parties. The conclusion of such contracts is allowed by the law only if the designated process -which is where the main focus of this dissertation will be placed- is followed. By examining the competent bodies for granting permission, the procedural steps they must follow, the necessary disclosure formalities they include, we will outline the general legal framework that now governs this long-standing issue of permitting transactions with related parties. We will also touch upon the legal consequences of deviating from the legal procedure and the possibility of granting permission ex-post.

description: Abstract: The sudden departure of foreign, mostly white, development staff from Pacific countries in the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, created a ‘natural experiment’ where local staff continued to work but without the accompaniment (and oversight) of their foreign counterparts. This paper reflects on evidence from the lived experiences of 12 experienced local development staff during this time. They detail how the absence of foreign staff led to increased opportunities for local staff, greater cultural sensitivity and relativity in the workplace, and the successful on-going operations of programs left in the hands of local workers. We position these experiences in relation to broader issues of racism, neo/colonialism and the centring of whiteness in the development industry to highlight the on-going structures that inhibit black and brown colleagues, and to provoke white development actors to work to redress on-going injustices in the industry. We specifically recommend white development actors openly discuss racism in the industry, enhance their knowledge of local cultures and politics, and work to cede space to local staff.

description: We measure the intensity correlation function of two interfering spatially displaced copies of a phase fluctuating Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC). It is shown that this corresponds to a measurement of the phase correlation properties of the initial condensate. Analogous to the method used in the stellar interferometer experiment of Hanbury Brown and Twiss, we use spatial intensity correlations to determine the phase coherence lengths of elongated BECs. We find good agreement with our prediction of the correlation function and confirm the expected coherence length.

description: We present a framework for identifying when conditions are favourable for transmission of vector-borne diseases between communities by incorporating predicted disease prevalence mapping with landscape analysis of sociological, environmental and host/parasite genetic data. We explored the relationship between environmental features and gene flow of a filarial parasite of humans, Onchocerca volvulus, and its vector, blackflies in the genus Simulium. We generated a baseline microfilarial prevalence map from point estimates from 47 locations in the ecological transition separating the savannah and forest in Ghana, where transmission of O. volvulus persists despite onchocerciasis control efforts. We generated movement suitability maps based on environmental correlates with mitochondrial population structure of 164 parasites from 15 communities and 93 vectors from only four sampling sites, and compared these to the baseline prevalence map. Parasite genetic distance between sampling locations was significantly associated with elevation (r =.793, p =.005) and soil moisture (r =.507, p =.002), while vector genetic distance was associated with soil moisture (r =.788, p =.0417) and precipitation (r =.835, p =.0417). The correlation between baseline prevalence and parasite resistance surface maps was stronger than that between prevalence and vector resistance surface maps. The centre of the study area had high prevalence and suitability for parasite and vector gene flow, potentially contributing to persistent transmission and suggesting the importance of re-evaluating transmission zone boundaries. With suitably dense sampling, this framework can help delineate transmission zones for onchocerciasis and would be translatable to other vector-borne diseases.
Quantum inequalities for the free Rarita-Schwinger fields in flat spacetime

description: Using the methods developed by Fewster and colleagues, we derive a quantum inequality for the free massive spin-${3\over 2}$ Rarita-Schwinger fields in the four dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Our quantum inequality bound for the Rarita-Schwinger fields is weaker, by a factor of 2, than that for the spin-${1\over 2}$ Dirac fields. This fact along with other quantum inequalities obtained by various other authors for the fields of integer spin (bosonic fields) using similar methods lead us to conjecture that, in the flat spacetime, separately for bosonic and fermionic fields, the quantum inequality bound gets weaker as the the number of degrees of freedom of the field increases. A plausible physical reason might be that the more the number of field degrees of freedom, the more freedom one has to create negative energy, therefore, the weaker the quantum inequality bound.

Extreme mass ratio inspirals with spinning secondary: a detailed study of equatorial circular motion

description: Extreme mass-ratio inspirals detectable by the future Laser Interferometer Space Antenna provide a unique way to test general relativity and fundamental physics. Motivated by this possibility, here we study in detail the EMRI dynamics in the presence of a spinning secondary, collecting and extending various results that appeared in previous work and also providing useful intermediate steps and new relations for the first time. We present the results of a frequency-domain code that computes gravitational-wave fluxes and the adiabatic orbital evolution for the case of circular, equatorial orbits with (anti)aligned spins. The spin of the secondary starts affecting the gravitational-wave phase at the same post-adiabatic order as the leading-order self-force terms and introduces a detectable dephasing, which can be used to measure it at $5-25\%$ level, depending on individual spins. In a companion paper we discuss the implication of this effect for tests of the Kerr bound.

description: We study how a fraction of a population should be vaccinated to most efficiently top epidemics. We argue that only local information (about the neighborhood of specific vertices) is usable in practice, and hence we consider only local vaccination strategies. The efficiency of the vaccination strategies is investigated with both static and dynamical measures. Among other things we find that the most efficient strategy for many real-world situations is to iteratively vaccinate the neighbor of the previous vaccinee that has most links out of the neighborhood.

description: In countries with high susceptibility to corruption, internal government auditors play an important role in combating and mitigating the corruption problem. Since corruption is unethical behavior, government internal auditors must have ethical standards if they are to be effective. Research surrounding the processes of ethical decision making has had mixed outcomes. This article examines the effect of corruption awareness in Indonesian society as a whole, and Indonesian organizations in general. Ethical intensity issues are examined, as are the organizational factors that impact on ethical decision-making. Results are mediated by ethical sensitivity and professional skepticism, with the theoretical framework of ethical decision-making being supported. Additional analysis examining the effect of gender, education level and experience on ethical decision-making process is provided.

description: Real-time tweets can provide useful information on evolving events and situations. Geotagged tweets are especially useful, as they indicate the location of origin and provide geographic context. However, only a small portion of tweets are geotagged, limiting their use for situational awareness. In this paper, we adapt, improve, and evaluate a state-of-the-art deep learning model for city-level geolocation prediction, and integrate it with a visual analytics system tailored for real-time situational awareness. We provide computational evaluations to demonstrate the superiority and utility of our geolocation prediction model within an interactive system.
