description: Σκοπός της διατριβής ήταν η μελέτη της κριτικής της γλώσσας, έτσι όπως εκφράστηκε τον 19ο και 20ο αιώνα στον γερμανόφωνο χώρο σε σύγκριση με την χρήση της γλώσσας σε έργα της δυστοπικής λογοτεχνίας. Αρχικά εξετάσαμε την κριτική γερμανόφωνων συγγραφέων στην χρήσης της γλώσσας κυρίως της ναζιστικής Γερμανίας. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάσαμε αναλυτικά τα κοινά χαρακτηριστικά της γλώσσας της ναζιστικής, προ-ναζιστικής Γερμανίας και των κοινωνιών στη δυστοπική λογοτεχνία. Επιπρόσθετα, έγινε αναφορά στα γλωσσικά μέσα που αφενός αποσκοπούν στην καθυπόταξη της σκέψης και αφετέρου αντανακλούν την απανθρωποποίηση της κοινωνίας και των ανθρώπων. Επιπλέον, μας απασχόλησαν οι δυνατότητες αντίστασης που προσφέρει η γλώσσα καθώς και οι απελευθερωτικές της δυνάμεις. Τέλος, έγινε αναφορά στον στόχο της δυστοπικής λογοτεχνίας ο οποίος δεν είναι άλλος παρά η ευαισθητοποίηση του αναγνώστη.
description: The aim of the present thesis was the study of language criticism as it was expressed in the 19. and 20. century in the German language area in comparison with the use of language in works of dystopian literature. In the beginning, we examined the criticism of the use of language mainly in the Nazi-Germany as it was expressed by German-speaking writers. Then, we presented analytical the common features of the language in Nazi-Germany, Pro-Nazi-Germany and the societies in the dystopian literature. We also examined the linguistic techniques that aim the mind subjugation and reflect the dehumanization of the societies and people. Another aim of this study was to explore the possibilities of resistance through language and the liberating forces. At the end, we examined the goal of dystopian literature which is no other than the raise of the awareness of the readers.

description: Background: Renal involvement is one of the most common complications of light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. For evaluating renal prognosis, two staging systems for renal involvement have been proposed, one in 2014 and one in 2017. However, the two staging systems have not yet been compared and widely used in clinic. Methods: A total of 76 patients with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis and renal involvement proven by renal biopsy were included and followed up with an endpoint developing to dialysis. The renal outcome and two criteria were explored. Results: We confirmed the prognostic value of the 2014 renal staging system based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (<50 ml/min/1.73 m2) and proteinuria (>5 g/day) at diagnosis (p = 0.003). For the 2017 system, none of the patients progressed to dialysis in both stage 1 (24 h proteinuria to eGFR <30 mg/ml/min/1.73 m2) and stage 2 (24 h proteinuria to eGFR 30–99 mg/ml/min/1.73 m2). A significant difference in terms of requiring dialysis was seen only between stage 3 (24 h proteinuria to eGFR ≥100 mg/ml/min/1.73 m2) and the two other stages (p = 0.008). Conclusions: The prognostic value of the criteria based on eGFR and 24-hour proteinuria for predicting dialysis has been confirmed. These results might benefit guiding clinical treatment.

description: Electronic instabilities in transition metal compounds often spontaneously form orbital molecules, which consist of orbital-coupled metal ions at low temperature. Recent local structural studies utilizing the pair distribution function revealed that preformed orbital molecules appear disordered even in the high-temperature paramagnetic phase. However, it is unclear whether preformed orbital molecules are dynamic or static. Here, we provide clear experimental evidence of the slow dynamics of disordered orbital molecules realized in the high-temperature paramagnetic phase of LiVS2, which exhibits vanadium trimerization upon cooling below 314 K. Unexpectedly, the preformed orbital molecules appear as a disordered zigzag chain that fluctuate in both time and space under electron irradiation. Our findings should advance studies on soft matter physics realized in an inorganic material due to disordered orbital molecules.

description: Η ανθρώπινη μετακίνηση στο χώρο, με σκοπό την αναζήτηση του ιερού ή του θείου, αποτελεί μια ψυχολογική ανάγκη για κάθε άτομο, ανεξαρτήτως φυλής, εθνικότητας ή θρησκείας, η οποία συνεπάγεται τόσο πολιτιστικές και κοινωνικές όσο και οικονομικές συνέπειες στους διάφορους προσκυνηματικούς ή θρησκευτικούς προορισμούς. Από την αρχαιότητα μέχρι σήμερα, οι Ιεροί χώροι αποτελούν τόπο προορισμού για πολλούς ταξιδιώτες, το ταξίδι με θρησκευτικό χαρακτήρα αποτέλεσε ισχυρό κίνητρο για πολλούς ανθρώπους ανά τους αιώνες προκειμένου να επισκεφθούν διάφορα θρησκευτικά κέντρα. Στην παρούσα μελέτη, επιχειρείται, αρχικά, η εννοιολογική προσέγγιση του θρησκευτικού τουρισμού, έπειτα, παρατηρείται η εξέλιξή του μέσα στο πέρασμα των χρόνων, η διάκριση του θρησκευτικού με τον προσκυνηματικό τουρισμό και τέλος γίνεται ιδιαίτερη αναφορά στον θρησκευτικό τουρισμό της Θεσσαλονίκης.

description: The human movement in space, in pursuit of the sacred or divine, is a psychological need for every person, regardless of race, nationality or religion, which involves both cultural and social and economic consequences in the different pilgrimage or religious destinations. From antiquity, the Holy places are destination for many travelers, the journey of a religious character was strong motivation for many people during the centures for visiting different religious centers. This Master Thesis Disservation attempted first conceptual approach to religious tourism then observed its evolution over the course of years, the distinction of the religious pilgrimage tourism, and particular reference is made then in Thessaloniki religious tourism. Thessaloniki has a huge religious and cultural richness, the precious heritage of the numerous Byzantine and post-Byzantine monuments that have been recognized as world cultural monuments value, coupled with the diversity of cultural elements showing the entire make a pilgrimage. Religious tourism falls within the category of alternative tourism in which the religious motive dominates, but is also linked to other forms of tourism such as cultural tourism and leisure tourism.

description: In this article, we investigate the Drell-Yan process of the light neutralino pair $\widetildeχ_{i}^{0}\widetildeχ_{j}^{0}$ ($i,j=1,2$) productions at proton-proton collisions and we present the general formulate for the differential cross sections. We conduct an extensive examination of the dependence of the total cross section of the subprocesses $q \bar q \to \widetilde χ_{i}^{0}\widetildeχ_{j}^{0}$ on the beam energy, on the mass of the squarks and also on the $M_2$ gaugino for the three extremely different scenarios. For all three cases, the outcomes are as follows. The dependence of the total cross section of the subprocesses $q \bar q \to \widetilde χ_{i}^{0} \widetilde χ_{j}^{0}$ on the beam energy is dominated by one of the subprocesses, $q \bar q \to \widetilde χ_{1}^{0} \widetilde χ_{2}^{0}$. On the other hand, the dependence of the total cross section of the subprocesses $q \bar q \to \widetilde χ_{i}^{0} \widetilde χ_{j}^{0}$ on the mass of the squarks is dominated by one of the subprocesses, $q \bar q \to \widetilde χ_{1}^{0} \widetilde χ_{2}^{0}$. We derive there from that our findings may lead to new insights relating to experimental investigations and these dependencies may be used as bases of an experimental research for the neutralino pair at LHC.

description: A theorem proved by Hrushovski for graphs and extended by Solecki and Vershik (independently from each other) to metric spaces leads to a stronger version of ultrahomogeneity of the infinite random graph $R$, the universal Urysohn metric space $\Ur$, and other related objects. We show how the result can be used to average out uniform and coarse embeddings of $\Ur$ (and its various counterparts) into normed spaces. Sometimes this leads to new embeddings of the same kind that are metric transforms and besides extend to affine representations of various isometry groups. As an application of this technique, we show that $\Ur$ admits neither a uniform nor a coarse embedding into a uniformly convex Banach space.

description: The air source heat pump (ASHP) systems assisted by solar energy have drawn great attentions, owing to their great feasibility in buildings for space heating/cooling and hot water purposes. However, there are a variety of configurations, parameters and performance criteria of solar assisted ASHP systems, leading to a major inconsistency that increase the degree of complexity to compare and implement different systems. A comparative literature review is lacking, with the aim to evaluate the performance of various ASHP systems from three main solar sources, such as solar thermal (ST), photovoltaic (PV) and hybrid photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T). This paper thus conducts a systematic review of the prevailing solar assisted ASHP systems, including their boundary conditions, system configurations, performance indicators, research methodologies and system performance. The comparison result indicates that PV-ASHP system has the best techno-economic performance, which performs best in average with coefficient of performance (COP) of around 3.75, but with moderate cost and payback time. While ST-ASHP and PV/T-ASHP systems have lower performance with mean COP of 2.90 and 3.03, respectively. Moreover, PV/T-ASHP system has the highest cost and longest payback time, while ST-ASHP has the lowest ones. Future research are discussed from aspects of methodologies, system optimization and standard evaluation.

description: Recent investigations on the delay time of type Ia supernovae have set useful constraints on the progenitors of type Ia supernovae. Here we have calculated the evolution of close binaries consisting of a white dwarf and a main-sequence or subgiant companion. We assume that, once Roche lobe overflow occurs a small fraction of the lost mass from the system forms a circumbinary disk, which extracts the orbital angular momentum from the system through tidal torques. Our calculations indicate that the existence of circumbinary disk can enhance the mass transfer rate and cause secular orbital shrinkage. The white dwarf can grow in mass efficiently to trigger type Ia supernovae even with relatively low-mass ($\la 2 M_{\odot}$) donor stars. Thus this scenario suggest a new possible evolutionary channel to those type Ia supernovae with long delay time $\sim 1-3$ Gyr.

description: Background and Objectives: Substitution-box (s-box) is one of the essential components to create confusion and nonlinear properties in cryptography. To strengthening a cipher against various attacks, including side channel attacks, these boxes need to have numerous security properties. In this paper, a novel method to generate s-boxes is introduced aimed at improving the resistance of s-boxes against side channel attacks. Methods: In the preprocessing phase of this approach, a suitable initial s-box which has some basic security properties is generated by adopting a fast algorithm. Then, in the main stage, using the initial s-box, we generate new s-boxes which not only have the properties of the initial S-box but also have been significantly improved under another set of security properties. To do this, new s-boxes are generated using a genetic algorithm on a particular subset of the linear combination set of coordinate functions of the initial s-box in the preprocessing stage. Results: The performed experiments demonstrate that the values of all security properties of these new s-boxes, especially the measures of transparency order, signal-to-noise ratio, confusion coefficient, bijection property, fixed point, and opposite fixed points, have been substantially improved. For example, our experiments indicate that 70, 220, 2071, 43, and 406 s-boxes are found better than the initial s-box, respectively, in the dimensions of 4x4 through 8x8 Conclusion: In this article, a new s-box construction method is introduced in which the properties related to side channel attacks are improved, without reducing other security properties. Besides, some results obtained from generated s-boxes in the dimensions of 4x4 through 8x8 demonstrated that the generated s-boxes are not only improved relative to the initial s-box, but in some cases, considerably better than some well-known s-boxes.

description: We show that by illuminating an InGaAs/GaAs self-assembled quantum dot with circularly polarized light, the nuclei of atoms constituting the dot can be driven into a bistable regime, in which either a threshold-like enhancement or reduction of the local nuclear field by up to 3 Tesla can be generated by varying the intensity of light. The excitation power threshold for such a nuclear spin "switch" is found to depend on both external magnetic and electric fields. The switch is shown to arise from the strong feedback of the nuclear spin polarization on the dynamics of spin transfer from electrons to the nuclei of the dot.

description: In both molecular physics and condensed matter theory, deeper understanding of the correlation energy density epsilon_c (r) remains a high priority. By adopting Loewdin's definition of correlation energy as the difference between the exact and the Hartree-Fock values, here we propose two alternative routes to define this. One of these involves both exact and Hartree-Fock (HF) wavefunctions, while the second requires a coupling constant integration. As an exact analytical example of the first route, we treat the two-electron model atom of Moshinsky, for which both confinement potential and interactions are harmonic. Though the correlation energy density epsilon_c (r) is known analytically, we also investigate numerically its relation to the exact ground-state density in this example.

description: In any Markov chain with finite state space the distribution of transition records always belongs to the exponential family. This observation is used to prove a fluctuation theorem, and to show that the dynamical entropy of a stationary Markov chain is linear in the number of steps. Three applications are discussed. A known result about entropy production is reproduced. A thermodynamic relation is derived for equilibrium systems with Metropolis dynamics. Finally, a link is made with recent results concerning a one-dimensional polymer model.

description: A primary goal of remote collaboration tools is to provide effective and inclusive meetings for all participants. To study meeting effectiveness and meeting inclusiveness, we first conducted a large-scale email survey (N=4,425; after filtering N=3,290) at a large technology company (pre-COVID-19); using this data we derived a multivariate model of meeting effectiveness and show how it correlates with meeting inclusiveness, participation, and feeling comfortable to contribute. We believe this is the first such model of meeting effectiveness and inclusiveness. The large size of the data provided the opportunity to analyze correlations that are specific to sub-populations such as the impact of video. The model shows the following factors are correlated with inclusiveness, effectiveness, participation, and feeling comfortable to contribute in meetings: sending a pre-meeting communication, sending a post-meeting summary, including a meeting agenda, attendee location, remote-only meeting, audio/video quality and reliability, video usage, and meeting size. The model and survey results give a quantitative understanding of how and where to improve meeting effectiveness and inclusiveness and what the potential returns are. Motivated by the email survey results, we implemented a post-meeting survey into a leading computer-mediated communication (CMC) system to directly measure meeting effectiveness and inclusiveness (during COVID-19). Using initial results based on internal flighting we created a similar model of effectiveness and inclusiveness, with many of the same findings as the email survey. This shows a method of measuring and understanding these metrics which are both practical and useful in a commercial CMC system.
Experimental studies on the reproductive biology of the Waterstrider, Gerris buenoi (Heteroptera: Gerridae)
Creators: name: Rowe, Locke
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: In a series of enclosure experiments (11 over 3 years) on the waterstrider Gerris buenoi, I demonstrated that food resources were limited by both intra- and interspecific competition in the field. Over a 20 fold range of egg production rates in control enclosures, food addition and interspecific competitor exclusion consistently increased egg production. The magnitude of these effects varied up to four fold among dates. Predators consistently reduced gerrid survival; the strength of this effect also varied greatly among experiments. Following a series of tests for enclosure effects, I conclude that both resources and predators limited fitness of adult G. buenoi in the wild, and that the strength of these effects varied dramatically among dates. The effect of reproductive rate on lifetime fecundity, longevity and senescence was investigated. Reproductive rate was an increasing function of food level, and longevity was a decreasing function of reproductive rate. There was no effect of food level on lifetime fecundity. Senescence of females was indicated by a progressive decline in egg quality (developmental stability and hatching success), and increased reproductive rate advanced this decline. Therefore, senescence occurs in G. buenoi, and reproductive rate advances its onset. The mating behaviour of G. buenoi was studied with a series of laboratory experiments and field observations. Mating is multiple, females are reluctant, males persistent and mating consists of a period of copulation followed by a guarding phase. Mating in females is shown to conflict with predator avoidance and foraging, but can reduce costly harassment by males. Mating females stop foraging and retreat to refuge. Increased predation risk to mating females results largely from increased capture success by predacious notonectids. Females control most components of mating (copulation frequency, and male guarding duration), and I demonstrate that mating decisions made by females balance the costs and benefits to her. Mating frequency was significantly less when female foraging needs were increased, and females became more willing to mate when the cost of male harassment was increased. These results demonstrate a strong degree of female control of mating decisions, and support the convenience polyandry hypothesis for superfluous mating.

description: The Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem allows communication between billions of devices worldwide that are collecting data autonomously. The vast amount of data generated by these devices must be controlled totally securely. The centralized solutions are not capable of responding to these concerns due to security challenges problems. Thus, the Average Packet Transmission RREQ (APT-RREQ) as an effective solution, has been employed to overcome these concerns to allow for entirely secure communication between devices. In this paper, an approach called LSFA-IoT is proposed that protects the AODV routing protocol as well as the IoT network against flooding. The proposed method is divided into two main phases; The first phase includes a physical layer intrusion and attack detection system used to detect attacks, and the second phase involves detecting incorrect events through APT-RREQ messages. The simulation results indicated the superiority of the proposed method in terms of False Positive Rate (FPR), False Negative Rate (FPR), Detection Rate (DR), and Packet Delivery Rate (PDR) compared to REATO and IRAD. Also, the simulation results show how the proposed approach can significantly increase the security of each thing and network security.

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: Let $\mm_n, n=0,1,...$ be the supercritical branching random walk, in which the number of direct descendants of one individual may be infinite with positive probability. Assume that the standard martingale $W_n$ related to $\mm_n$ is regular, and $W$ is a limit random variable. Let $a(x)$ be a nonnegative function which regularly varies at infinity, with exponent greater than -1. The paper presents sufficient conditions of the almost sure convergence of the series $\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}a(n)(W-W_n)$. Also we establish a criterion of finiteness of $\me W\log^+ W a(\log^+W)$ and $\me \log^+|\zi| a(\log^+|\zi|)$, where $\zi:=Q_1+\sum_{n=2}^\infty M_1... M_n Q_{n+1}$, and $(M_n, Q_n)$ are independent identically distributed random vectors, not necessarily related to $\mm_n$.

description: We trace what happens with asymptotically free behavior of the running coupling in $ϕ^{3}$ theory in six-dimensional space-time if to compactify two spatial dimensions on a 2D closed manifold. The result can be considered as an effective 4D theory of infinitely many KK-type scalar fields with triple interactions. The effective \emph{dimensional} coupling inherits running to zero at high mass scales in a modified form depending on the size of the compact manifold. Some physical implications are discussed.

description: Σκοπός της παρούσας μεταπτυχιακής διατριβής ήταν να καταγράψει και να αξιολογήσει τους δείκτες που καθορίζουν το επίπεδο της ποιότητας των παρεχόμενων υπηρεσιών στο αγωνιστικό αλλά και στο επίπεδο της φιλοξενίας και της ικανοποίησης , στην ευρύτερη περιοχή αλλά και στην πόλη της Θεσσαλονίκης κατά τη διάρκεια Παγκοσμίου Πρωταθλήματος Maxibasketball. Στη διερεύνηση της ποιότητας των υπηρεσιών αλλά και της ικανοποίησης από τη διαμονή χρησιμοποιήθηκε το τροποποιημένο μοντέλο αξιολόγησης των Αλεξανδρή και άλλων συνεργατών το 2004 το οποίο και προσαρμόστηκε για τις υπηρεσίες που προσφέρονται σε μια αθλητική διοργάνωση. Έγινε παράθεση μοντέλων μέτρησης ποιότητας των υπηρεσιών καθώς και έρευνες που αξιολογούσαν υπηρεσίες ποιότητας στον αθλητισμό. Τα αποτελέσματα της έρευνας μας περιελάμβαναν δημογραφικά στοιχεία των συμμετεχόντων αλλά και τις απόψεις τους για το διοργανωθέν πρωτάθλημα. Στη συνέχεια αναπτύχθηκαν προτάσεις για διοργάνωση άρτιων αθλητικών δράσεων τέτοιας κλίμακας αγωνιστικής δραστηριότητας που πρόεκυψαν από τα αποτελέσματα μας αλλά και από τα συμπεράσματα άλλων αθλητικών δράσεων ιδίου βεληνεκούς. Η πρακτική εφαρμογή των αποτελεσμάτων προτίθεται να δώσει κατευθυντήριες γραμμές και πρακτικές για τη βελτίωση ή ακόμα και τη μεγιστοποίηση της αποτελεσματικότητας των υπηρεσιών από τις διοργανώτριες πόλεις αλλά και από την εκάστοτε οργανωτική επιτροπή .
description: The objective of this thesis was to record and evaluate the indicators that determine the quality level of the provided services on the playing level as well as that of hospitality and satisfaction in the wider area and the city of Thessaloniki during the Maxibasketball World Championship. The 2004 modified evaluation model of Alexandris and associates, which was adapted for the services offered in an athletic event, was used for the expansion of the quality of services, as well as the satisfaction out of the accommodation provided. Measurement models of quality of services were quoted and also research that evaluated quality services in sports. The results of our research included the participants' demographics along with their overall view on the organized championship. Subsequently, suggestions were developed about the organization of complete sports acts of such scale playing activities which became clear from our results as well as the conclusions from other sports acts of the same range. The practical application of the results is to give guidelines and practices for the improvement or even the maximization of the effectiveness of services from the organizing cities along with the given organizing committee.

description: To characterize the novel quantum phase transition for a hybrid system consisting of an array of coupled cavities and two-level atoms doped in each cavity, we study the atomic entanglement and photonic visibility in comparison with the quantum fluctuation of total excitations. Analytical and numerical simulation results show the happen of quantum critical phenomenon similar to the Mott insulator to superfluid transition. Here, the contour lines respectively representing the atomic entanglement, photonic visibility and excitation variance in the phase diagram are consistent in the vicinity of the non-analytic locus of atomic concurrences.

Reader as woman: gender and identification in novels
Creators: name: Roberts, Nancy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This dissertation, as its title suggests, is a study of gender and identification. The main body of the thesis is s consideration of four novels (Clarissa, The Scarlet Letter, Portrait of a Lady, and Tess of the d'Urbervilles), all of which are centered around a heroine defined by her suffering. In the figure of the heroine/victim is conjoined the activity of the hero and the passivity of the victim. Such a conjunction raises perplexing problems. One of these is that the "heroism" or "greatness" of the heroine is measured by means other than her action, for as victim she can do or move very little. Her heroism is measured instead by the pity and sympathy she elicits from other and by the extent to which she moves them (us). What this means for reading is that we cannot study the character without studying the response she generates. A study of character becomes a study of response - of both the responses represented in the text (those of other characters) and of our own response as readers. I read each of these four novels as a type of "school of sympathy," as a place in which readers are instructed how to feel. Novels, in this view, are social agents doing social work. Their work, in this case, is the construction of subjectivity. Each novel constructs the reader's emotions toward the heroine as much as it constructs the heroine herself. Gender plays an important part in this construction. Following some recent film as well as literary theory, I discuss to what extent the reader's position in these novels is constructed as male, and then go on to consider what implications this has for identification with the female. Each novel presents us with a type of cross-gender identification in which our sympathy for the heroine appears to depend upon the imposition of clear and distinct gender boundaries, boundaries which are established only to be crossed. In my sixth and final chapter, I turn to the work of two twentieth-century female authors, Margaret Atwood and Angela Carter, to see in what ways they "talk back" to the tradition which has defined woman as other, to see in what ways, if any, they re-define the possibility of female heroism, and, finally, to consider the implications for the reader.
