description: In this paper, we extend our previous work [Phys. Rev. D 107, 024024 (2023)] to the more general cases with a negative cosmological constant, and investigate the topological numbers for the singly rotating Kerr-AdS black holes in all dimensions and the four-dimensional Kerr-Newman-AdS black hole as well as the three-dimensional Bañados-Teitelboim-Zanelli black hole. We find that the topological numbers of black holes are remarkably influenced by the cosmological constant. In addition, we also demonstrate that the dimension of spacetimes has an important effect on the topological number for rotating AdS black holes. Furthermore, it is interesting to observe that the difference between the topological number of the AdS black hole and that of its corresponding asymptotically flat black hole is always unity. This new observation leads us to conjure that it might be valid also for other black holes. Of course, this novel conjecture needs to be further verified by examining the topological numbers of many other black holes and their AdS counterparts in the future work.

description: Im Ringen um kulturelle Hegemonie greifen (extrem) rechte Akteur*innen auch auf pädagogische, sowie geschlechter- und bildungspolitische Themen zurück. Sie diffamieren emanzipative und auf Diversität ausgerichtete Ansätze und formulieren Gegenentwürfe – weltweit. Der Bedarf an internationalem und interdisziplinärem Austausch ist daher groß. Zu diesem Anlass trafen sich Anfang Mai 2023 ca. 160 Personen aus unterschiedlichen Fachrichtungen an der Europa-Universität Flensburg, die zusammen mit dem Zentrum für Bildungs-, Unterrichts, Schul- und Sozialisationsforschung und dem Gender-Netzwerk der EUF zur internationalen Tagung „Pädagogik und Geschlecht als Gegenstand politischer Kämpfe“ einlud. An drei aufeinanderfolgenden Tagen regten unterschiedliche Vortrags- und Austauschformate zur Diskussion über rechte, antifeministische und rassistische Diskurse an.

description: To explore patients’ experiences of early active motion flexor tendon rehabilitation in relation to adherence to restrictions and outcome of rehabilitation. Seventeen patients with a flexor tendon injury in one or several fingers participated in qualitative interviews performed between 74 and 111 days after surgery. Data were analysed using directed content analysis with the Health Belief Model (HBM) as a theoretical framework. Perceived severity of hand function and susceptibility to loss of hand function affected the participants’ behaviour. A higher perceived threat increased motivation to exercise and be cautious in activities. During rehabilitation, the perceived benefits or efficacy of doing exercise and following restrictions were compared to the cost of doing so, leading to adherence or non-adherence behaviour. Perceived self-efficacy was affected by previous knowledge and varied through the rehabilitation period. External factors and interaction with therapists influenced the perception of the severity of the injury and the cost and benefits of adhering to rehabilitation. Patient’s perception of the injury, the effectiveness of exercises, context and social support to manage daily life affected adherence to restriction, motivation and commitment to rehabilitation. The HBM as a theoretical framework can be beneficial for understanding factors that influence patients’ adherence.Implications for RehabilitationInformation regarding the injury and consequences for the patient should be presented at different time points and in different ways, tailored to the patient.It’ is important to aid patients to perceive the small gradual improvements in hand function to create motivation to adhere to exercise.Strategies to reduce the cost of adherence in terms of managing everyday life should be addressed by individually based strategies.Instructions regarding exercise and restrictions should be less complex and consider the patient’s individual needs.

description: Driving a quantum system periodically in time can profoundly alter its long-time dynamics and trigger topological order. Such schemes are particularly promising for generating non-trivial energy bands and gauge structures in quantum-matter systems. Here, we develop a general formalism that captures the essential features ruling the dynamics: the effective Hamiltonian, but also the effects related to the initial phase of the modulation and the micro-motion. This framework allows for the identification of driving schemes, based on general N-step modulations, which lead to configurations relevant for quantum simulation. In particular, we explore methods to generate synthetic spin-orbit couplings and magnetic fields in cold-atom setups.

description: Gambles are random variables that model possible changes in monetary wealth. Classic decision theory transforms money into utility through a utility function and defines the value of a gamble as the expectation value of utility changes. Utility functions aim to capture individual psychological characteristics, but their generality limits predictive power. Expectation value maximizers are defined as rational in economics, but expectation values are only meaningful in the presence of ensembles or in systems with ergodic properties, whereas decision-makers have no access to ensembles and the variables representing wealth in the usual growth models do not have the relevant ergodic properties. Simultaneously addressing the shortcomings of utility and those of expectations, we propose to evaluate gambles by averaging wealth growth over time. No utility function is needed, but a dynamic must be specified to compute time averages. Linear and logarithmic "utility functions" appear as transformations that generate ergodic observables for purely additive and purely multiplicative dynamics, respectively. We highlight inconsistencies throughout the development of decision theory, whose correction clarifies that our perspective is legitimate. These invalidate a commonly cited argument for bounded utility functions.

description: Due to rapid data growth, statistical analysis of massive datasets often has to be carried out in a distributed fashion, either because several datasets stored in separate physical locations are all relevant to a given problem, or simply to achieve faster (parallel) computation through a divide-and-conquer scheme. In both cases, the challenge is to obtain valid inference that does not require processing all data at a single central computing node. We show that for a very widely used class of spatial low-rank models, which can be written as a linear combination of spatial basis functions plus a fine-scale-variation component, parallel spatial inference and prediction for massive distributed data can be carried out exactly, meaning that the results are the same as for a traditional, non-distributed analysis. The communication cost of our distributed algorithms does not depend on the number of data points. After extending our results to the spatio-temporal case, we illustrate our methodology by carrying out distributed spatio-temporal particle filtering inference on total precipitable water measured by three different satellite sensor systems.

description: Arsenic contamination in Pakistan has never been considered a serious problem. The present study therefore is based on a more detailed screening of arsenic in groundwater samples of Hyderabad and Lahore in addition to Muzaffarabad where no sufficient data on arsenic screening has been reported until now. A total of 160 samples were collected from various sites of Hyderabad, Lahore and Muzaffarabad and analyzed for arsenic by using hydride generation system. The order of percentage of samples having arsenic concentration greater than the WHO limit (>10 µg L−1) in the three cities was as follows: Lahore > Hyderabad > Muzaffarabad with Lahore city having arsenic concentration even greater than 50 µg L−1 in water samples of Nishtar colony, Dograiy Kallan and Yuhanabad. The mean average daily dose (ADD), hazard quotient (HQ) and carcinogenic risk (CR) values for Lahore, Hyderabad and Muzaffarabad were also found in the order Lahore > Hyderabad > Muzaffarabad. The health risk for children calculated in this investigation was found to be more than the adults. In current study, the physical parameters such as pH, total dissolved solids (TDS), electrical conductivity (EC) and chemical parameters like Mg+2, Ca+2, CO2, HCO3−1, and CO3−2 were also investigated. The current investigation shows the city of Lahore to be the most effected by arsenic contamination followed by Hyderabad whereas Muzaffarabad is the least effected.

description: We consider the problem of determining all pairs (c_1, c_2) of Chern classes of rank 2 bundles that are cokernel of a skew-symmetric matrix of linear forms in 3 variables, having constant rank 2c_1 and size 2c_1+2. We completely solve the problem in the "stable" range, i.e. for pairs with c_1^2-4c_2<0, proving that the additional condition c_2\le {{c_1+1}\choose 2} is necessary and sufficient. For c_1^2-4c_2\ge 0, we prove that there exist globally generated bundles, some even defining an embedding of P^2 in a Grassmannian, that cannot correspond to a matrix of the above type. This extends previous work on c_1\le 3.

description: Two atmospheric pressure plasma jet devices – a plasma gun and a plasma Tesla jet – are compared in terms of safety and therapeutic efficiency to reduce the tumor volume progression of cholangiocarcinoma, i.e. a rare and very aggressive cancer emerging in biliary tree. For this, a three steps methodology is carried out. First, the two APPJ have been benchmarked in regard to their electrical and physico-chemical properties while interacting with material targets: dielectric plate, liquid sample, metal plate and an equivalent electrical circuit of human body. The propagation properties of the ionization wave interacting with these targets are discussed, in particular the profile of the related pulsed atmospheric plasma streams. In a second step, a dermal toxicity survey is performed so as to define an experimental operating window where plasma parameters can be changed without damaging healthy skin of mice during their exposure to plasma and without inducing any electrical hazards (burnings, ventricular fibrillation). Optimal conditions are identified discarding the conditions where slight alterations may be evidenced by histology (e.g. prenecrotic aspect of keratinocytes, alterations in the collagen structure). Hence, for the two APPJ plasma parameters these conditions are as follow: duty cycle=14 %, repetition frequency=30 kHz, magnitude=7 kV, gap=10 mm and exposure time=1 min. In a third step, the two plasma jets are utilized on cholangiocarcinoma xenograft tumor model developed in immunodeficient mice. The two devices are safe and a significant therapeutic efficiency is demonstrated with the plasma Tesla. In conclusion, we have developed a safe cold atmospheric plasma device with antitumoral properties in preclinical model of cholangiocarcinoma, opening the path for new anticancer treatment opportunities.

description: To estimate the prevalence of bilateral vestibulopathy (BV) and evaluate the association with, and concurrent validity of the Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) in diagnosing BV based on video head impulse test (vHIT) among older adults ≥65 years referred to a geriatric falls clinic on suspicion of vestibular impairment. The vHIT was applied as a reference standard of BV to estimate diagnostic parameters for optimal cut-off scores of DGI and DHI applied separately and in combination. Two-hundred medical records were reviewed (70% women, mean age 79.4 years). The prevalence of BV was 9%. DGI was weakly associated with BV: Odds Ratio (OR) 1.15 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.01; 1.31), with a 93% sensitivity and 47% specificity of a cut-off score of 16. The total score of DHI showed no association with BV: OR 1.01 (95% CI: 0.98; 1.04). The concurrent validity for BV and DGI and/or DHI were found to be inadequate. A prevalence of 9% underlines the relevance for assessment of BV. Only a weak association between DGI and/or DHI and BV was found. Thus, vHIT remains the preferred test for detecting BV in geriatric fall assessments.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONBilateral vestibulopathy (BV) has numerous negative consequences for older adults and the prevalence is high among older adults referred to a geriatric falls clinic on suspicion of vestibular impairment.The Dynamic Gait Index (DGI) and the Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI) are not valid alternatives to the Video Head Impulse Test (vHIT) when assessing BV among geriatric outpatients.

description: In the present study, dermal and inhalation exposure of agricultural workers to insecticide, flubendiamide were determined during pesticide mixing/loading, and hand-held sprayer application in Kimchi cabbage fields, and the potential health risk was assessed. Dermal exposure amount during mixing/loading was 0.8 mg, whereas there was no inhalation exposure (0.0 µg) during similar procedures. Among several different body parts, the hands were the most prominent exposure area (84.5%), followed by the chest and stomach (10.1%). The protective role of PPE (personal protective equipment) during application was determined by comparative experiments with- and without-PPE. The dermal and inhalation exposure with PPE was 3.7 mg and 12.0 µg, respectively. The Forearms (29.6%) and pelvis (18.7%) showed the highest pesticide exposure, followed by the chest and stomach (18.4%). However, the exposure amount of without-PPE was 47.7 mg, and 22.9 µg, respectively, where shins were the most prominent exposure area (83.0%). For the risk assessment of the mixing/loading and application, the AOEL (acceptable operator exposure level) of flubendiamide was used as the reference dose to calculate that the RI (risk index) was much lower than 1 (mixing/loading:0.0, application with PPE:0.2), indicating that agricultural workers are at low risk of exposure to flubendiamide. On the other hand, in the case of an application without PPE, RI is higher than 1 (9.8), suggesting that it can be at risk.

description: The $k$-tiling problem for a convex polytope $P$ is the problem of covering $\mathbb R^d$ with translates of $P$ using a discrete multiset $Λ$ of translation vectors, such that every point in $\mathbb R^d$ is covered exactly $k$ times, except possibly for the boundary of $P$ and its translates. A classical result in the study of tiling problems is a theorem of McMullen that a convex polytope $P$ that 1-tiles $\mathbb R^d$ with a discrete multiset $Λ$ can, in fact, 1-tile $\mathbb R^d$ with a lattice $\mathcal L$. A generalization of McMullen's theorem for $k$-tiling was conjectured by Gravin, Robins, and Shiryaev, which states that if $P$ $k$-tiles $\mathbb R^d$ with a discrete multiset $Λ$, then $P$ $m$-tiles $\mathbb R^d$ with a lattice $\mathcal L$ for some $m$. In this paper, we consider the case when $P$ $k$-tiles $\mathbb R^d$ with a discrete multiset $Λ$ such that every element of $Λ$ is contained in a quasi-periodic set $\mathcal Q$ (i.e. a finite union of translated lattices). This is motivated by the result of Gravin, Kolountzakis, Robins, and Shiryaev, showing that for $d \in \{2,3\}$, if a polytope $P$ $k$-tiles $\mathbb R^d$ with a discrete multiset $Λ$, then $P$ $m$-tiles $\mathbb R^d$ with a quasi-periodic set $\mathcal Q$ for some $m$. Here we show for all values of $d$ that if a polytope $P$ $k$-tiles $\mathbb R^d$ with a discrete multiset $Λ$ that is contained in a quasi-periodic set $\mathcal Q$ that satisfies a mild hypothesis, then $P$ $m$-tiles $\mathbb R^d$ with a lattice $\mathcal L$ for some $m$. This strengthens the results of Gravin, Kolountzakis, Robins, and Shiryaev, and is a step in the direction of proving the conjecture of Gravin et al.

description: Eugen Suchon (1908 to 1993) belongs to the generation of Slovak musical modernism and to the founders of Slovak national music. He studies at the Academy of Music and Arts in Bratislava and in the years 1931 to 33 he studied the composition at Master’s class of Prague Conservatoire under vítezslav Novak. By the detailed study of Slovak folklore he reached particular composer’s style, which is represented by his own modal feeling. Suchon is considered one of the most significant representative of modal thinking in European music of 20th century, and his compositions were influenced by dodecaphony. He created the first Slovak national opera Whrilpool, which is abroad presented Katrena, according to the main character. the core of his creation is piano and symphonic music, and the significant phenomenon is the fact that almost all his piano works were orchestrated by him later. He is the author of 6-part cycle of piano compositions for children and youth Pictures from Slovakia that was orchestrated for various orchestras, from violin trios to symphonic orchestra. Eugen Suchon in a significant way contributed to the development of Slovak and European music.

description: L’éducation obligatoire voit le métier d’enseignant évoluer de manière importante ces dernières années. Cette profession devenant multitâche demande, en plus de la transmission de savoirs, des compétences de gestion de classe, d’accompagnement, de différenciation et d’adaptabilité avec les élèves. Les enseignants peuvent alors être désemparés face à la diversité des élèves et aux attentes de leur profession poussant certains à la démission. Dans ce contexte, les interactions et la communication se sont renforcées entre enseignants et apprenants à travers une relation personnelle plus importante. L’enseignement de l’EPS intervient dans un contexte particulier où le corps est utilisé de façon permanente pour transmettre des informations. La communication non verbale (CNV) prend alors une place essentielle dans les interactions. Dans ce travail, nous nous sommes intéressés aux effets de la CNV des enseignants d’EPS sur l’engagement moteur des élèves au sein d’une situation d’apprentissage que nous avons élaborée. Nous avons voulu, dans un premier temps, nous renseigner sur les perceptions que se font les enseignants du langage non verbal ainsi que son utilité dans leur pratique. Des observations quant aux modulations d’engagement des élèves dans l’activité en fonction de la CNV de leur maître d’EPS ont ensuite été effectuées. Leur analyse s’est basée sur les indicateurs de proxémie, d’orientation du corps ainsi que sur les gestes soutenants des enseignants. Cette recherche nous a alors permis de comprendre que les enseignants utilisent le langage non-verbal dans des buts précis et communs, comme le contrôle et la correction technique, sans en exploiter tout le potentiel. Les gestes d’encouragement, soutenant l’engagement des élèves et leur bienêtre psychique, ainsi que des comportements favorisant l’autonomie ne sont que très peu utilisés. Les enseignants mettent alors en place dans leur pratique un schéma fonctionnel construit sur leurs propres croyances freinant l’exploration de nouvelles stratégies d’enseignement et de nouvelles fonctionnalités que permet la CNV. Nous sommes convaincus que l’étude du langage non-verbal doit prendre place dans le cursus de formation des enseignants afin de bénéficier des importantes retombées positives que cette forme de communication peut engendrer sur l’enseignement en influant sur les dimensions relationnelle, émotionnelle et comportementale des individus.

description: Le système scolaire suisse est fondé sur l’évaluation des connaissances et compétences des élèves. Depuis le début de la vie académique, les élèves sont soumis·es à des situations d’évaluation (soit des tests) qui peuvent provoquer un état de nervosité. Dans certains cas, le stress associé à la passation d’un test peut déclencher des réponses anxiogènes et entraîner des conséquences négatives sur la personne ainsi que pour sa performance scolaire. Ces faits montrent l’importance de ce phénomène chez les élèves du secondaire et la nécessité d’effectuer des recherches dans ce domaine. Parmi les facteurs qui sont associés (positivement ou négativement) à l’anxiété des tests chez les adolescent·e·s, le concept de soi et l’estime de soi sont les plus étudiés. Le présent travail de mémoire de Master a traité des relations entre concept de soi, estime de soi et anxiété des tests chez les élèves de secondaire I (cycle 3 de l’école obligatoire suisse). Nous avons trouvé que plus les élèves ont une bonne perception de leurs compétences scolaires et une bonne valeur globale de soi, moins ils/elles rapporteraient de symptômes d’anxiété des tests (principalement des dimensions Inquiétude, Symptômes corporels et Tension). Concernant le Contrôle perçu, ce dernier est très fortement et positivement corrélé avec les compétences scolaires et la valeur globale de soi, cela signifiant que des capacités de régulation adaptées sont associées à une bonne perception des compétences scolaires et à une bonne estime de soi. Nos résultats ont également montré des différences de genre : les filles rapportaient des niveaux de Compétences scolaires perçues, de Valeur globale de soi et de Contrôle perçu plus faibles, et des niveaux d’anxiété des tests (dimensions Inquiétude, Symptômes corporels et Tension) plus élevés. Nous avons aussi comparé les différents degrés, les résultats montrant des différences uniquement pour certaines dimensions de l’anxiété des tests pour les élèves de 11ème année : ils/elles rapportaient moins de Symptômes corporels et de Tension que ceux/celles de 9ème et 10ème années. Finalement, la comparaison entre les voies montre que les élèves de voie générale rapportent des différences uniquement dans deux des dimensions de l’anxiété des tests (i.e., Pensées hors test et Symptômes corporels). Nos résultats peuvent être très utiles pour développer des pistes d’action de la part des enseignant·e·s. Ils/elles pourraient mettre en place des stratégies afin d’améliorer le Concept de soi et la Valeur globale de soi de leurs élèves, prévenant et/ou allégeant ainsi leur anxiété des tests.

description: We present a tally of Milky Way late-type dwarf stars in 68 WFC3 pure-parallel fields (227 arcmin^2) from the Brightest of Reionizing Galaxies (BoRG) survey for high-redshift galaxies. Using spectroscopically identified M-dwarfs in two public surveys, the CANDELS and the ERS mosaics, we identify a morphological selection criterion using the half-light radius (r50), a near-infrared J-H, G-J color region where M-dwarfs are found, and a V-J relation with M-dwarf subtype. We apply this morphological selection of stellar objects, color-color selection of M-dwarfs and optical-near-infrared color subtyping to compile a catalog of 274 M-dwarfs belonging to the disk of the Milky Way with a limiting magnitude of m_F125W < 24. Based on the M-dwarfs statistics, we conclude that (a) the previously identified North/South discrepancy in M-dwarf numbers persists in our sample; there are more M-dwarfs in the Northern fields on average than in Southern ones, (b) the Milky Way's single disk scale-height for M-dwarfs is 0.3-4 kpc, depending on sub-type, (c) {\bf ERRATUM:} we present corrected coordinates (AstroPy) and distances and find a constant $z_0$=600 pc for all types. (d) a second component is visible in the vertical distribution, with a different, much higher scale-height. We report the M-dwarf component of the Sagittarius stream in one of our fields with 11 confirmed M-dwarfs, 7 of which are at the stream's distance. The dwarf scale-height and the relative low incidence in our fields of L- and T-dwarfs in these fields makes it unlikely that these stars will be interlopers in great numbers in color-selected samples of high-redshift galaxies. The relative ubiquity of M-dwarfs however will make them ideal tracers of Galactic Halo substructure with EUCLID and reference stars for JWST observations.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία έχει ως στόχο την παρουσίαση και ανάλυση του έργου του Νίκου Καζαντζάκη, Ταξιδεύοντας: Ιαπωνία-Κίνα(1938), μέσα στο οποίο περιγράφονται οι ταξιδιωτικές εντυπώσεις του συγγραφέα από το ταξίδι του στην Άπω Ανατολή το 1935. Η θεματική της εργασίας αυτής συνίσταται, λοιπόν, στην περιήγηση στους τόπους, τις κουλτούρες και τις κοινωνίες της Ιαπωνίας και της Κίνας. Στην αρχή αναφέρονται γνωρίσματα της ταξιδιωτικής λογοτεχνίας ως είδους και προσεγγίζεται η ενασχόληση του συγγραφέα με αυτήν. Στη συνέχεια, αναλύονται οι πόλεις και τα εθιμικό-πολιτισμικά χαρακτηριστικά των δύο χωρών της Άπω Ανατολής μέσα από την ματιά του οικουμενικού Κρητικού συγγραφέα· στο πλαίσιο αυτό, συζητούνται ταξιδιωτικές εντυπώσεις, διαμεσολαβήσεις και επιρροές, καθώς και ορισμένες παράμετροι του ταξιδιού που διαδραμάτισαν σημαντικό ρόλο στην μετέπειτα πορεία του δημιουργού και στην αποκρυστάλλωση της κοσμοθεώρησής του. Επιπλέον, γίνεται αναφορά στις διακειμενικές σχέσεις που υφίστανται ανάμεσα στο ταξιδιωτικό έργο και το μυθιστόρημα Ο Βραχόκηπος. Τέλος, δεδομένου ότι το μελετώμενο έργο ελάχιστα έχει αποτελέσει ανεξάρτητο αντικείμενο συστηματικής λογοτεχνικής κριτικής και έρευνας, μας παρέχεται η δυνατότητα, μέσω του πορτραίτου δύο σπουδαίων χωρών και πολιτισμών, να εμβαθύνουμε περαιτέρω στη συνθετική σκέψη του Καζαντζάκη, επιχειρώντας παράλληλα την προσπέλαση ενός θέματος με καινοτόμα στοιχεία.

description: Through the last decade, cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) has emerged as an innovative therapeutic option for cancer treatment. Recently, we have set up a potentially safe atmospheric pressure plasma jet device that displays antitumoral properties in a preclinical model of cholangiocarcinoma (CCA), a rare and very aggressive cancer emerging from the biliary tree with few efficient treatments. In the present study, we aimed at deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying the antitumor effects of CAP towards CCA both in an in vivo and in vitro context. In vivo, using subcutaneous xenografts into immunocompromised mice, CAP treatment of CCA induced DNA lesions and tumor cell apoptosis, as evaluated by 8-oxoguanine and cleaved caspase-3 immunohistochemistry, respectively. Analysis of the tumor microenvironment showed changes in markers related to macrophage polarization. In vitro, incubation of CCA cells with CAP-treated culture media (i.e. plasma-activated media, PAM) led to a dose response decrease in cell survival. At molecular level, CAP treatment induced double-strand DNA breaks, followed by an increased phosphorylation and activation of the cell cycle master regulators CHK1 and p53, leading to cell cycle arrest and cell death by apoptosis. In conclusion, CAP is a novel therapeutic option to consider for CCA in the future.

description: Dans un monde globalisé et interconnecté comme celui dans lequel nous vivons de nos jours les contacts avec des gens parlant d’autres langues sont inévitables et ont une fréquence quotidienne. L’apprentissage des langues devient donc un aspect central dans la vie des gens et joue une place importante dans l’enseignement obligatoire afin de viser la compétence communicative. Cependant, lors d’une rencontre entre deux personnes parlant deux langues différentes, il y a aussi une rencontre entre deux cultures différentes qui se réalise. En apprenant une langue afin de communiquer, il n’est donc pas possible de faire abstraction des éléments culturels qui sont liés à la langue, laquelle est considérée aujourd’hui expression même de la culture. Étant donc reconnu de manière générale par les didacticiens et linguistes que ces deux éléments de langue et culture sont inséparables, plusieurs théories et modèles ont été créés et développés pour favoriser l’intégration de l’aspect culturel dans l’enseignement des langues notamment à niveau européen. L’analyse de la mise en pratique de ces théories est donc très intéressante. Cependant, cette mise en pratique est opération assez compliquée. Dans les manuels récemment publiés, des efforts dans ce sens sont visibles, mais ils restent encore trop peu nombreux et fallacieux. Il est donc nécessaire de continuer sur cette voie pour incrémenter la production d’outils qui permettent aux enseignants d’intégrer l’aspect culturel dans leur enseignement.

description: Different thermalization scenarios for systems with large fields have been proposed in the literature based on classical-statistical lattice simulations approximating the underlying quantum dynamics. We investigate the range of validity of these simulations for condensate driven as well as fluctuation dominated initial conditions for the example of a single component scalar field theory. We show that they lead to the same phenomenon of turbulent thermalization for the whole range of (weak) couplings where the classical-statistical approach is valid. In the turbulent regime we establish the existence of a dual cascade characterized by universal scaling exponents and scaling functions. This complements previous investigations where only the direct energy cascade has been studied for the single component theory. A proposed alternative thermalization scenario for stronger couplings is shown to be beyond the range of validity of classical-statistical simulations.

Random perturbation to the geodesic equation

description: We study random "perturbation" to the geodesic equation. The geodesic equation is identified with a canonical differential equation on the orthonormal frame bundle driven by a horizontal vector field of norm $1$. We prove that the projections of the solutions to the perturbed equations, converge, after suitable rescaling, to a Brownian motion scaled by ${\frac{8}{n(n-1)}}$ where $n$ is the dimension of the state space. Their horizontal lifts to the orthonormal frame bundle converge also, to a scaled horizontal Brownian motion.

description: Στην παρόυσα εργασία παρουσιάζεται και μια στατιστική μέθοδο διάγνωσης βλαβών και ανίχνευσης ανωμαλιών σε συστήματα μπαταριών ηλεκτρικών διόδων με βάση δεδομένα που συλλέγονται από την κεντρική πλατφόρμα παρακολούθησης. Η εργασία αναφέρει αρχικά τα στάδια παραγωγής μπαταρίας λιθίου και αφορά πρωτίστως τη διάγνωση βλαβών ολόκληρου του συστήματος και την ανίχνευση ανωμαλιών της εσωτερικής τάσης του στοιχείου με μαθηματικούς τύπους και για τη διάγνωση σφαλμάτων ολόκληρου του συστήματος, η κατάσταση λειτουργίας του ηλεκτρικού αρχικά χωρίζεται σε τέσσερις περιπτώσεις ανάλογα με το ρεύμα και την ταχύτητα της μπαταρίας. Στη συνέχεια, η πυκνότητα πιθανότητας των δεδομένων για κάθε στιγμή υπολογίζεται χρησιμοποιώντας την ιδιότητα ότι κάθε αλλαγή παραμέτρου αντιστοιχεί στην κατανομή Gauss. Στη συνέχεια, οι τιμές της πυκνότητας πιθανότητας που αντιστοιχούν σε όλες τις παραμέτρους πολλαπλασιάζονται ως συντελεστής διάγνωσης σφάλματος. Τα αποτελέσματα επικύρωσης δείχνουν ότι η προτεινόμενη μέθοδος μπορεί να διαγνώσει με ακρίβεια σφάλματα και ανωμαλίες του συστήματος και είναι κατάλληλη για τη διαχείριση της ασφάλειας σε πραγματικό χρόνο . Επιπλέον, ο συνδυασμός μεθόδων ανάλυσης δεδομένων και οπτικοποίησης επιτρέπει την έγκαιρη και ακριβή ανίχνευση ανωμαλιών τάσης κυψέλης.
