description: Η παρούσα εργασία αποτελεί μια μελέτη του φαινομένου του Ισκιώματος (=Σκιά) ή της Μόρας –όπως είναι ευρύτερα γνωστό- που είναι η μεταφυσική ερμηνεία του ιατρικού φαινομένου της Υπνικής Παράλυσης. Συγκεκριμένα, αυτή η μελέτη έλαβε χώρα σε ένα χωριό της Λάρισας που ονομάζεται Βερδικούσσα. H υπνική παράλυση είναι μια κατάσταση που χαρακτηρίζεται από προσωρινή παράλυση του σώματος και συμβαίνει μετά το ξύπνημα ή - λιγότερο συχνά – κατά την έναρξη του ύπνου. Μέσω της μελέτης αυτού του φαινομένου, καταδεικνύεται η σπουδαιότητα του κοινωνικοπολιτισμικού πλαισίου στην κατασκευή αυτού που αποκαλείται «φυσιολογικό» και «μη φυσιολογικό». Παράλληλα, αναδεικνύεται η σχετικότητα του «μη φυσιολογικού», όταν συμπεριλαμβάνουμε ποικίλες άλλες πλευρές και ιδίως, όταν η προσωπική ιστορία του κάθε ατόμου ληφθεί υπόψιν και δώσουμε έμφαση στο κοινωνικοπολιτισμικό πλαίσιο καταγωγής του καθενός.
description: The present thesis is a study about the Iskioma’s (=Shadow) or Mora’s phenomenon –as it is widely known-, which is a metaphysical explanation of the medical phenomenon of Sleep Paralysis. Specifically, this study took place in a village of Larisa which is called Verdikoussa. Sleep Paralysis is a situation which is characterized by temporary paralysis of the body and happens after awakening or –less often- at the beginning of sleep. Through the study of this phenomenon, it is shown the significance of the social-cultural frame in the structure of what is called “normal” and “abnormal”. At the same time, it is indicated the relevance of “abnormal”, when we include various other aspects and especially, when the personal story of each individual is taken into account and we emphasize each person’s origin.

description: Football is one of the most important social phenomena of the 20th and 21st centuries. It can be regarded as a kaleidoscope of human emotions, a stage from which to observe and study social reality. In the development of identity, sports are a means through which to create “Us” and “Them”. Football goes beyond the mere sporting field and through identification with a team, people can express their own identification with something that goes beyond sports: city, region, specific subgroup, social class or ethnic group. In this paper I use qualitative research methods and audio-visual techniques to analyse the case of football fans of Naples Football team living in Barcelona. Within the migratory experience, many Neapolitans consider football as an additional component to maintain a close link with their own origins. Football allows them to feed the sense of belonging and (re)discover old and new identity elements.

description: Learning to capture dependencies between spatial positions is essential to many visual tasks, especially the dense labeling problems like scene parsing. Existing methods can effectively capture long-range dependencies with self-attention mechanism while short ones by local convolution. However, there is still much gap between long-range and short-range dependencies, which largely reduces the models' flexibility in application to diverse spatial scales and relationships in complicated natural scene images. To fill such a gap, we develop a Middle-Range (MR) branch to capture middle-range dependencies by restricting self-attention into local patches. Also, we observe that the spatial regions which have large correlations with others can be emphasized to exploit long-range dependencies more accurately, and thus propose a Reweighed Long-Range (RLR) branch. Based on the proposed MR and RLR branches, we build an Omni-Range Dependencies Network (ORDNet) which can effectively capture short-, middle- and long-range dependencies. Our ORDNet is able to extract more comprehensive context information and well adapt to complex spatial variance in scene images. Extensive experiments show that our proposed ORDNet outperforms previous state-of-the-art methods on three scene parsing benchmarks including PASCAL Context, COCO Stuff and ADE20K, demonstrating the superiority of capturing omni-range dependencies in deep models for scene parsing task.

description: Recognizing the potential of effective field theories to posit multiple BSM scenarios in similar footing, with a possibility to compare them, we inspect the effects of 11 single scalar-multiplet extensions of the SM on the combined set of electroweak precision observables and Higgs signal strength data, by systematically integrating out the heavy multiplets and computing the resulting SMEFT operators and Wilson coefficients (WCs) up to one-loop level. Noting that multiple BSM models give rise to a degenerate set of WCs, we then perform Bayesian statistical inference both directly on the BSM parameters and on the associated set of independent WCs. Using the posteriors of the BSM parameters, we infer the respective (correlated) WC-distributions and compare both the model-independent and dependent analyses by overlaying the 2-D marginal WC-posteriors from both processes, thus laying the ground for a data-driven attempt to compare diverse BSM theories of different origins, and hopefully, a possible way to approach the intractable inverse problem. We also demonstrate, with an example model, the crucial role of theoretical constraints to rule out large chunks of BSM parameter spaces. The entirety of numerical results is available in GitHub.

description: The paper aims at providing a reflection dealing with the “Collettivo Autonomo Viola”, a leading organized group of supporters of the Fiorentina football club until a few years ago. Its organization, the in-group and out-group dynamics have been investigated through an ethnographic study. The manifold forms of identification of the Collettivo's members have allowed to think about the group membership as a primary form of self and other-recognition. Finally, some methodological issues dealing with the research experience are addressed, with a special emphasis on the relation between a researcher and an “ultras” group.

description: We explore end-to-end trained differentiable models that integrate natural logic with neural networks, aiming to keep the backbone of natural language reasoning based on the natural logic formalism while introducing subsymbolic vector representations and neural components. The proposed model adapts module networks to model natural logic operations, which is enhanced with a memory component to model contextual information. Experiments show that the proposed framework can effectively model monotonicity-based reasoning, compared to the baseline neural network models without built-in inductive bias for monotonicity-based reasoning. Our proposed model shows to be robust when transferred from upward to downward inference. We perform further analyses on the performance of the proposed model on aggregation, showing the effectiveness of the proposed subcomponents on helping achieve better intermediate aggregation performance.

description: This article contemplates the more widespread gender representations in women’s football compared to traditional roles and the feminization of a sport traditionally considered as a prerogative of men. It does so by investigating, by means of in-depth interviews, the imaginations and experiences of coaches, football players and their parents. After a preliminary theoretical reflection on the concept of gender – as a key to interpreting the cultural and relational dynamics characterizing sports – and its implications in sport, the essay will highlight – giving the floor to the actors of this important transition – the new demands of gender in women’s football, in an era in which emancipation from tradition and its roles is an increasingly strong and unstoppable process, and yet one that is still characterized, particularly in the context examined, by cultural and social obstacles.

description: The aim of this postgraduate study is to present the action of Cyprus Theater Organization, and specifically of its Children’s Stage, from its first production until today, from 1976 until 2011. After a brief recursion in the history of children’s theater in Europe and global, in Greece and Cyprus, starts the presentation and analysis of the total 70 productions that were presented by the Children’s Stage. More specifically, I analyze the plays that have been chosen, the way in which they are written and the messages they are sending to the audience. Furthermore, wherever it was possible, I examine and analyze the aesthetics of the productions, the techniques that are used, the sceneries and the costumes, and generally the way in which they are presented on stage. After this analysis I arrive at some conclusions about the plays and the writers that are chosen and preferred by the state theater organization and the messages they choose to send. Additional, I arrive at conclusions about the development of children’s theater in Cyprus, since the Cyprus Theater Organization was pioneer in the establishment of a Children’s Stage and with its example many theatrical groups and organizations were pushed to do the same. At the end of this study I cite the list with the details from all the productions of Children’s Stage.

Considering some sporting and fitness practices in relation to the large and pervasive diffusion of the use of wearable devices allows highlighting some aspects of human phenomena. These phenomena, besides being able to be considered an expression of a more general trend of cultural order, highlight the emergence of a dimension of human identity
that is particularly original and strongly linked to a specifically need for technological support in the definition of the self.

description: Recent comparative observations of long duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) and core collapse supernovae (cc SN) host galaxies demonstrate that these two, highly energetic transient events are distributed very differently upon their hosts. LGRBs are much more concentrated on their host galaxy light than cc SN. Here we explore the suggestion that this differing distribution reflects different progenitor masses for LGRBs and cc SN. Using a simple model we show that, assuming cc SN arise from stars with main sequence masses $>$8 M$_{\odot}$, GRBs are likely to arise from stars with initial masses $>$ 20 M$_{\odot}$. This difference can naturally be explained by the requirement that stars which create a LGRB must also create a black hole.

description: Lo sport è un fenomeno articolato che riproduce una molteplicità di dimensioni tipiche della società contemporanea, la cui analisi può contribuire alla comprensione di fatti sociali più ampi. Attorno allo sport ruota un insieme eterogeneo di significati, interessi, passioni, attività, rituali che si manifestano sia livello micro che macro. Lo sport genera, ad esempio, momenti di socializzazione e reti di relazioni, pratiche narrative e connotazioni simboliche che contribuiscono alla costruzione di identità, della soggettività degli individui e delle appartenenze a gruppi, incide sulle attività di consumo e sugli stili di vita; allo stesso tempo, ha delle ricadute sullo sviluppo di politiche territoriali, riflette le strutture economiche, attorno a cui gravitano una varietà di attori, interessi e logiche di funzionamento. Lo sport, inoltre, ha tra le sue peculiarità quella di echeggiare il senso comune e, pertanto, per essere compreso richiede di essere letto attraverso le categorie concettuali delle scienze sociali ed esaminato utilizzando rigorose procedure metodologiche.
I contributi del primo numero di questa rivista si collocano all’interno di questo ampio framework conoscitivo con l’obiettivo di ragionare sulla pluralità di processi sociali, culturali ed economici che legano lo sport alle scienze sociali. Si tratta, come vedremo, di prospettive di studio molto variegate ma che, nel loro insieme, hanno permesso di avviare proficue discussioni e confronti interdisciplinari.

Oblique interactions between solitons and mean flows in the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation

description: The interaction of an oblique line soliton with a one-dimensional dynamic mean flow is analyzed using the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili II (KPII) equation. Building upon previous studies that examined the transmission or trapping of a soliton by a slowly varying rarefaction or oscillatory dispersive shock wave in one space and one time dimension, this paper allows for the incident soliton to approach the changing mean flow at a nonzero oblique angle. By deriving invariant quantities of the soliton-mean flow modulation equations$-$a system of three (1+1)-dimensional quasilinear, hyperbolic equations for the soliton and mean flow parameters$-$and positing the initial configuration as a Riemann problem in the modulation variables, it is possible to derive quantitative predictions regarding the evolution of the line soliton within the mean flow. It is found that the interaction between an oblique soliton and a changing mean flow leads to several novel features not observed in the (1+1)-dimensional reduced problem. Many of these interesting dynamics arise from the unique structure of the modulation equations that are nonstrictly hyperbolic, including a well-defined multivalued solution interpreted as a solution of the (2+1)-dimensional soliton-mean modulation equations, in which the soliton interacts with the mean flow and then wraps around to interact with it again. Finally, it is shown that the oblique interactions between solitons and dispersive shock wave solutions for the mean flow give rise to all three possible types of 2-soliton solutions of the KPII equation. The analytical findings are quantitatively supported by direct numerical simulations.

A teleseismic study of the Northern Cordilleran upper mantle beneath the SNORCLE transect
Creators: name: Frederiksen, Andrew William
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The study area of the SNORCLE Lithoprobe transect comprises the northern Canadian Cordillera and the northwestern Canadian shield. An array of five portable broadband seismographs has been deployed along the trend of the transect, to complement five permanent stations of the Canadian National Seismic Network and seven Alaskan short-period instruments. The objective of the experiment is to examine the physical state of the upper mantle along the transect. P-wave travel-time residuals up to 2 seconds have been measured, and analyzed using a non-linear tomographic technique, thereby recovering velocity structure between 100 and 600 km depth for the western portion of the transect. Two significant P-wave mantle velocity anomalies have been located. The first, a relatively shallow high-velocity feature located at the western edge of the model, has been interpreted as being the edge of the Pacific slab from the southern Alaska subduction zone. The second is a large, tabular low-velocity anomaly centered at 60°N by 136°W, elongate northwest-southwest, dipping southeast, and reaching a depth of 450-500 km. This low-velocity anomaly is judged to reflect a thermal anomaly of the order of 100°C, with a possible compositional component. Multiple interpretations of the low-velocity feature are considered, the two main hypotheses being a mantle plume or a flow feature related to the proximity of the subducting slab and the opening of the northern Cordilleran slab window. The latter hypothesis is favored, due to the absence of other evidence for a plume in this region. In addition, the upper part of the low-velocity anomaly may reflect the influence of strain heating at lithospheric levels, related to the convergence of the Pacific and North American plates and the uplift of the St. Elias Mountains.

description: Studiare lo sport vuol dire analizzare un fenomeno con profonde connessioni sociali, culturali, economiche, politiche. D’altronde, l’interesse così esteso di tanti atleti – amatoriali o professionisti – e di semplici appassionati o tifosi non praticanti lo rende oggi, tra le attività del tempo libero, una delle forme di svago di maggior rilievo quotidiano.
In Italia, ad esempio, nel 2016 circa 20 milioni di persone dai 3 anni in su dichiarano di svolgere uno o più sport nel tempo libero; anche se la quota dei sedentari rimane intorno al 40%, tra le più alte in Europa. Il trend misurato negli ultimi anni rileva, comunque, un ampliamento della quota di praticanti sportivi (Istat, 2017). Il segmento economico legato allo sport vede, invece, protagoniste il 21,6% delle famiglie residenti, che nel 2014 ha sostenuto spese per attività di pratica sportiva.
Porre lo sport sotto la lente dell’analisi delle scienze sociali vuol dire, allora, gettare luce su aspetti significativi della vita e dei bisogni di persone o gruppi che ne avvertono la rilevanza e una qualche influenza sulle loro biografie.

description: We calculate the cross section of charm photoproduction at HERA collider in the framework of the kt-factorization QCD approach. Our analysis cover the inclusive charm production as well as charm and associated jet production processes. Both photon-gluon and gluon-gluon fusion mechanisms are taken into account. The unintegrated gluon densities in a proton and in a photon obtained from the full CCFM, from unified BFKL-DGLAP evolution equations as well as from the Kimber-Martin-Ryskin prescription are used. Our theoretical results are compared with the recent experimental data taken by the H1 and ZEUS collaborations at HERA. Special attention is put on the specific angular correlations which can provide unique information about non-collinear gluon evolution dynamics.

description: We obtain control of magnetic anisotropy in epitaxial (Ga,Mn)As by anisotropic strain relaxation in patterned structures. The strain in the structures is characterized using sophisticated X-ray techniques. The magnetic anisotropy before patterning of the layer, which shows biaxial easy axes along [100] and [010], is replaced by a hard axis in the direction of large elastic strain relaxation and a uniaxial easy axis in the direction where pseudomorphic conditions are retained. This strong anisotropy can not be explained by shape anisotropy and is attributed solely to lattice strain relaxation. Upon increasing the uniaxial strain anisotropy in the (Ga,Mn)As stripes, we also observe an increase in magnetic anisotropy.

Its performance as a primary thermometer has been verified at temperatures from 20 mK to 200 mK at uncertainty level below 1 % (k = 2). In a new project, our aim is to extend the metrologically verified temperature range of the primary CBT up to 25 K. We also demonstrate close-to-ideal operation of a CBT with only two tunnel junctions when the device is embedded in a low-impedance environment.

We focus on transport between two metallic nanotubes (or shells) of different chiralities with mismatched Fermi momenta and incommensurate periodicities. We perform numerical calculations of the transport properties of such systems within a tight-binding formalism. For clean (disorder-free) nanotubes the intertube transport is strongly suppressed as a result of momentum conservation. For clean nanotubes, the intertube transport is typically dominated by the loss of momentum conservation at the contacts. We discuss in detail the effects of disorder, which also breaks momentum conservation, and calculate the effects of localised scatterers of various types. We show that physically relevant disorder potentials lead to very dramatic enhancements of the intertube conductance. We show that recent experimental measurements of the intershell transport in multiwall nanotubes are consistent with our theoretical results for a model of short-ranged correlated disorder.

description: Le attività sportive, caratterizzate da un forte portato valoriale, sono uno dei pilastri della moderna industria culturale. Il dibattito sul rapporto tra cultura e loisir, in particolare su un fenomeno così rilevante dal punto di vista sociale come lo sport, è acceso e ricco di sfaccettature. In questa raccolta di saggi a cura di Nicola Porro, Stefano Martelli e Giovanna Russo, gli autori indagano nell’ambito di queste dimensioni, prendendo come punto di partenza il mondiale di calcio che ha visto il nostro paese protagonista in veste di organizzatore – quello del 1990 – punto di svolta per la creazione di un triangolo SMS (Sport-Media-Sponsor) che, nel quarto di secolo successivo, non ha fatto altro che rinsaldare la propria posizione.

description: Οι ασθένειες prion είναι νευροεκφυλιστικές νόσοι που περιλαμβάνουν τη νόσο scrapie στα αμνοερίφια, τη νόσο BSE στα βοοειδή και τη νόσο CJD στον άνθρωπο. Κύριο χαρακτηριστικό των νόσων αυτών είναι η μετατροπή μιας φυσιολογικής πρωτεΐνης, της PrPC στην παθολογική ισομορφή της, την PrPSc. H παθολογική ισομορφή πολυμερίζεται και συσσωματώνεται στην επιφάνεια των κυττάρων, σχηματίζοντας κενοτόπια στα κύτταρα του εγκεφάλου. Η φυσιολογική πρωτεΐνη εκφράζεται σε πολλά είδη κυττάρων, αλλά δεν έχει αποσαφηνιστεί ακόμα ο βιολογικός της ρόλος. Η διαδικασία μετατροπής της φυσιολογικής πρωτεΐνης σε παθολογική δεν έχει διευκρινιστεί ακόμα, αλλά ενδέχεται να διαμεσολαβείται από μια άγνωστη μέχρι σήμερα ενδοκυττάρια πρωτεΐνη, την πρωτεΐνη Χ. ο εντοπισμός πρωτεϊνών που αντιδρούν με την prion πρωτεΐνη θα βοηθήσει τόσο στον αποσαφηνισμό του φυσιολογικού της ρόλου, όσο και στη διαδικασία μετατροπής. Στην παρούσα μεταπτυχιακή εργασία δείξαμε πώς μεταβάλεται η έκφραση τριών γονιδίων, του πλασμινογόνου (plg), του ιστικού ενεργοποιητή του πλασμινογόνου (tPA) και του Prnp που κωδικοποιεί για την prion πρωτεΐνη σε καλλιέργειες νευροβλαστικών κυττάρων επιμολυσμένων με το στέλεχος scrapie 22L, καθώς και σε καλλιέργειες νευροβλαστικών κυττάρων μη επιμολυσμένων.
description: Prion diseases are a group of neurodegenerative diseases including scrapie, BSE in animals and CJD in humans. The main event in these disorders is the conversion of the physiological prion protein, PrPC, to an abnormal isoform, denoted PrPSc. PrPSc polymerizes in extracellular aggregates that are detected as amyloid plaques, followed by the formation of vacuoles in brain. PrPC is expressed in most tissues, including brain, gastrointestinal tract and muscles but has still no apparent physiological role. The conversion mechanism to the pathological isoform also remains unknown but it is believed to be mediated by a host-encoded unknown macromolecule, termed protein X. The identification of proteins interacting with prion protein is of dual importance, in order to understand the biological role of PrPC and the conversion mechanism to PrPSc. Such molecules may be used in novel therapeutic approaches that would target on the inhibition of prion propagation or the reconstitution of PrP function during TSE pathogenesis. In this study we showed that plasminogen (plg), tissue plasminogen activator (tpa) and prion (Prnp) genes were expressed in neuroblastoma cells and we tried to identify the differential expression of these genes between neuroblastoma cell lines, chronically infected with 22L mouse scrapie strain and uninfected neuroblastoma cell lines. Our results suggest association of gene expression with prion disease.

description: When the electrical grid transitions from synchronous machine generation to an inverter connected renewable resources generation, the grid's stability decreases which, correlates to the lower inertia response of the grid's generation sources. This study proposes a synthetic inertia response controller for a wind turbine, which regulates the response aggressiveness based on lidar measured wind speed. When testing this controller, modeling of a frequency signal was also required. Testing that this method would be a better way to control wind turbines' synthetic inertia response, models of the turbine and the controller simulate multiple situations to test the controller's performance. In addition to analyzing measured samples of frequency time series and generating an expression to simulate frequency disturbance through Fourier transform. A frequency signal is produced and used to simulate the turbine with different rates of change of frequency levels. The proposed synthetic inertia controller has promising results. The controller has a better synthetic inertia response during emergency cases while having no sign of dramatically increasing loads, as shown by the simulations.

description: I Mondiali di calcio marcano traiettorie individuali e collettive, fungono da ideali punti di raccordo delle biografie individuali e mappano costumi, valori comuni e processi sociali, puntualmente, ogni quattro anni, dall’ormai prima edizione del 1930 (fatta salva l’interruzione causata dal secondo conflitto mondiale). L’assenza della Nazionale italiana tra le rappresentative in competizione ai Mondiali di Russia 2018 è l’occasione propizia per ripercorrere un anno speciale nel recente passato, il 1958, in quanto unico antecedente dell’infausto evento per i colori azzurri, ma anche in quanto anno della rivelazione al mondo intero del fenomenale Brasile di Garrincha e Pelé. A intraprendere tale percorso di analisi, da una affascinante prospettiva antropologica, è Bruno Barba nel volume 1958. L’altra volta che non andammo ai mondiali (2018).

Με τον όρο αποτέφρωση η καύση των νεκρών εννοούμε γενικά την με διάφορες μεθόδους τέλεια καύση και μετατροπή του νεκρού ανθρώπινου σώματος σε τέφρα ,που είτε ενταφιάζεται ,είτε φυλάσσεται είτε τέλος διασκορπίζεται. Η αποτέφρωση συνιστά μεταθανάτιο έθιμο με προϊστορική προέλευση και πορεία παράλληλη της ταφής ανά τους αιώνες. Εν τούτοις ο κοινωνικός προβληματισμός για την προτίμηση του ενός η άλλου εθίμου προβάλλει έντονος σήμερα εξαιτίας ,αφ ενός των ωφελιμιστικών προτεραιοτήτων του σύγχρονου ανθρώπου αφετέρου της αποθρησκειοποίησης που κατά πολλούς πλήττει τις δυτικές κοινωνίες και της εισαγωγής αντιλήψεων για την ζωή και τον θάνατο εν πολλοίς συγκρουόμενων με την χριστιανική πίστη. Οι μεταβολές αυτές έχουν θέσει από τον περασμένο αιώνα τις κυρίαρχες στον δυτικό κόσμο εκκλησίες πρό του διλήμματος να απορρίψουν η να συνδιαλεχθούν με την συνεχώς διογκούμενη απαίτηση για καθιέρωση της αποτέφρωσης των νεκρών ως τουλάχιστον εναλλακτικού μέσου «αποχώρησης» του σώματος από τον κόσμο μας. Π αράλληλα τα νομικά συστήματα τίθενται προ της ευθύνης να προστατέψουν ,σύμφωνα με τις παγιωμένες αρχές του κράτους δικαίου και της ισότητας ,την παραμικρή μειοψηφική έννομη απαίτηση. Αυτοί οι προβληματισμοί ,μοιραία φαίνεται να απασχολούν τα τελευταία χρόνια και την ελλαδική εκκλησία και την ελληνική πολιτεία, ως προς το ζήτημα που μας απασχολεί.
description: The cremation at work we employ both historical and theological terms, and finally legal and religious point of view according to the latest regulations. The term cremation generally meant by various methods perfect combustion and conversion of the dead human body in ash, either buried or stored or finally dispersed. The posthumous incineration is a custom with prehistoric origins and course parallel to the landfill for centuries. However, the social concern for the preference of one or other custom raises strong today because, on one of the modern utilitarian priorities of other human apothriskeiopoiisis which affects many in western societies and the introduction of ideas about life and death largely conflicting with the Christian faith. These changes have put the last century the dominant churches in the western world access to the dilemma of having to reject speak to the ever growing demand for introduction of cremation as an alternative means of at least "withdrawal" of the body of our world. Parallila legal systems are pre-responsibility to protect, in accordance with established principles of law and equity, the smallest minority legal requirement. These considerations inevitably seem to concern in recent years and the Church of Greece and the Greek state, the question that concerns us.

description: We use detailed simulations of the Gaia observations of synthetic planetary systems and develop and utilize independent software codes in double-blind mode to analyze the data, including statistical tools for planet detection and different algorithms for single and multiple Keplerian orbit fitting that use no a priori knowledge of the true orbital parameters of the systems. 1) Planets with astrometric signatures $α\simeq 3$ times the single-measurement error $σ_ψ$ and period $P\leq 5$ yr can be detected reliably, with a very small number of false positives. 2) At twice the detection limit, uncertainties in orbital parameters and masses are typically $15%-20%$. 3) Over 70% of two-planet systems with well-separated periods in the range $0.2\leq P\leq 9$ yr, $2\leqα/σ_ψ\leq 50$, and eccentricity $e\leq 0.6$ are correctly identified. 4) Favorable orbital configurations have orbital elements measured to better than 10% accuracy $> 90%$ of the time, and the value of the mutual inclination angle determined with uncertainties $\leq 10^{\degr}$. 5) Finally, uncertainties obtained from the fitting procedures are a good estimate of the actual errors. Extrapolating from the present-day statistical properties of the exoplanet sample, the results imply that a Gaia with $σ_ψ$ = 8 $μ$as, in its unbiased and complete magnitude-limited census of planetary systems, will measure several thousand giant planets out to 3-4 AUs from stars within 200 pc, and will characterize hundreds of multiple-planet systems, including meaningful coplanarity tests. Finally, we put Gaia into context, identifying several areas of planetary-system science in which Gaia can be expected to have a relevant impact, when combined with data coming from other ongoing and future planet search programs.

description: The analysis of the efficiency of professional football clubs in terms of on-field results has been widely debated in the sport economics literature. This paper illustrates a non-parametric analysis evaluating the efficiencies of transfers in Italian Serie A football clubs for the 2008-09 and 2017-18 seasons by constructing inputs of player transfers of football clubs and outputs in the manner of the clubs’ game success by using Data Envelopment Analysis (“DEA”), the most popular nonparametric model for estimating productive efficiency, first introduced by Farrell (1957). Our findings show that the Juventus Football Club managed to achieve efficiency on their transfer policies for these football seasons, while on the other hand transfers of Parma Football Club performed rather very inefficiently with regard to their game performance. Additionally, we conclude that teams that won the championship trophy, such as Juventus, Internazionale and AC Milan, had full efficiency in their player transfers at the beginning of the respective season.

description: Eclipse timing variation analysis has become a powerful method to discover planets around binary systems. We applied this technique to investigate the eclipse times of GK Vir. This system is a post-common envelope binary with an orbital period of 8.26 h. Here, we present 10 new eclipse times obtained between 2013 and 2020. We calculated the O-C diagram using a linear ephemeris and verified a clear orbital period variation (OPV) with a cyclic behavior. We investigated if this variation could be explained by the Applegate mechanism, the apsidal motion, or the light travel time (LTT) effect. We found that the Applegate mechanism would hardly explain the OPV with its current theoretical description. We obtained using different approaches that the apsidal motion is a less likely explanation than the LTT effect. We showed that the LTT effect with one circumbinary body is the most likely cause for the OPV, which was reinforced by the orbital stability of the third body. The LTT best solution provided an orbital period of ~24 yr for the outer body. Under the assumption of coplanarity between the external body and the inner binary, we obtained a Jupiter-like planet around the GK Vir. In this scenario, the planet has one of the longest orbital periods, with a full observational baseline, discovered so far. However, as the observational baseline of GK Vir is smaller than twice the period found in the O-C diagram, the LTT solution must be taken as preliminary.
