description: Η συνεχόμενη ανάγκη του δημόσιου τομέα για βελτίωση της οικονομικής διαφάνειας και λογοδοσίας κατευθύνεται διεθνώς προς τον εκσυγχρονισμό των συστημάτων λογιστικής τυποποίησης. Η υιοθέτηση των διεθνών λογιστικών προτύπων (IPSAS) ή ευθυγράμμιση των εθνικών προτύπως με αυτά, υποδεικνύουν την τάση των κυβερνήσεων να στοχεύουν στην βελτίωση της ποιότητας της λογιστικής πληροφόρησης ώστε να ενισχύσουν την διαδικασίες λήψης αποφάσεων και ελέγχου. Λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τις διεθνείς εξελίξεις, η παρούσα εργασία στοχεύει να διερευνήσει τον τρόπο που η λογιστική πληροφόρηση επηρεάζει την διαφάνεια και τη λογοδοσία, υπό το πρίσμα των απόψεων των δημόσιων υπαλλήλων. Η μεθοδολογική προσέγγιση που ακολουθήθηκε είναι η χρήση ερωτηματολογίων που απευθύνθηκαν σε εργαζομένους δημόσιων φορέων που εμπλέκονται σε διαδικασίες καταχώρησης λογιστικών γεγονότων, εποπτείας και σύνταξης χρηματοοικονομικών καταστάσεων. Τα αποτελέσματα που προέκυψαν από την εργασία έδειξαν ότι πλειοψηφία των ερωτηθέντων αντιλαμβάνεται την οικονομική διαφάνεια ως τον περιορισμό της απάτης, ενώ ταυτίζει τη λογοδοσία με την αποτελεσματικότητα στις λειτουργίες ελέγχου και εποπτείας. Οι εργαζόμενοι των δημόσιων φορέων αναγνωρίζουν το ρόλο της αξιοπιστίας της λογιστικής πληροφόρησης στης διαφάνεια και την λογοδοσία, δίνοντας έμφαση στην επίδραση της λογιστικής πληροφόρησης στον προγραμματισμό και τη διαχείριση πόρων. Επιπλέον, τα αποτελέσματα δείχνουν ότι η εξέλιξη των συστημάτων λογιστικής τυποποίησης, η ηθική και υπευθυνότητα των δημόσιων υπαλλήλων, η πρόσληψη και κατάρτιση του προσωπικού και η τεχνολογία αποτελούν σημαντικούς παράγοντες που επηρεάζουν την ποιότητα της λογιστικής πληροφόρησης. Τέλος, οι ερωτηθέντες θεωρούν ότι το υφιστάμενο σύστημα εξυπηρετεί τη διαφάνεια και τη λογοδοσία, παρόλα αναγνωρίζουν σημαντικά μειονεκτήματα της που αιτιολογούν την ανάγκη για την εξέλιξη του.

description: When patients with right-sided hemispheric lesions neglect information on the left side, with respect to what set of spatial coordinates is left defined? Two potential reference frames were examined in this study, one where left and right are defined with respect to the midline of the viewer and/or environment (viewer/env-centered) and the other where left and right are defined with respect to the midline of the object (object-centered). By rotating the stimulus 90° clockwise or counterclockwise, and instructing patients with neglect to report the colors appearing around the border of a stimulus, an independent measure was obtained for the number of colors reported from the left and right of the viewer/env- and from the object-based reference frame. Whereas significant object-centered neglect was observed only for upper case asymmetrical letters but not for symmetrical letters nor for drawings of familiar animals or objects, significant viewer/env-based neglect was observed with all the stimulus types. We present an account of the coexistence of neglect in more than one frame of reference and the presence of object-centered neglect under a restricted set of conditions.

description: Το ελαιόλαδο αποτελεί αδιαμφισβήτητα εδώ και πάρα πολλά χρόνια αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της Μεσογειακής - ελληνικής διατροφής, του πολιτισμού καθώς και της κουλτούρας της χώρας. Πολλές επιστημονικές μελέτες και έρευνες έχουν πραγματοποιηθεί οι οποίες διερευνούν την θετική επίδραση που επιφέρει η κατανάλωση ελαιόλαδου στον ανθρώπινο οργανισμό. Η ευεργετική αυτή επίδραση οφείλεται στην υψηλή αντιοξειδωτική δράση των πολυφαινολικών συστατικών του. Οι πολυφαινόλες, όπως έχει αποδειχθεί, εμπλέκονται σε προστατευτικούς μηχανισμούς έναντι διάφορων νοσημάτων που προσβάλλουν τον ανθρώπινο οργανισμό. Επίσης, τα φαινολικά συστατικά που εμπεριέχονται στο ελαιόλαδο συμβάλουν στην διατήρηση των οργανοληπτικών και αισθητηριακών γνωρισμάτων του όπως είναι το χρώμα, η γεύση και το άρωμα. Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετήθηκαν οι ολικές φαινόλες του ελαιόλαδου και η αντιοξειδωτική δράση τους. Ειδικότερα, παρουσιάζονται στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο ιστορικά στοιχεία γύρω από το δέντρο της ελιάς και κυρίως γύρω από το ελαιόλαδο, παραθέτονται στοιχεία που αφορούν την οικονομική σημασία του τόσο στην εγχώρια οικονομία όσο και σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο αναφέροντας κατηγορίες ελαιόλαδου που σχετίζονται με την ποιότητα αυτού.

Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο γίνεται μια εκτενής ανάλυση των φαινολικών ενώσεων που υπάρχουν στο ελαιόλαδο, στο ποίοι είναι οι παράγοντες αυτοί οι οποίοι επηρεάζουν την συγκέντρωση των φαινολών στο ελαιόλαδο αλλά και των μεθόδων με τις οποίες γίνεται ο προσδιορισμός τους. Αναλύεται η μέθοδος στις φαινολικές ενώσεις και πως αυτές επιδρούν για να διατηρηθεί το ελαιόλαδο αναφέροντας και την υγεία στον ανθρώπινο οργανισμό. Στο τελευταίο κεφάλαιο, αναλύεται ο τρόπος δράσης των φαινολικών ουσιών στα αισθητηριακά χαρακτηριστικά του ελαιόλαδου και πως ανάλογα την συγκέντρωσή τους επηρεάζουν την γεύση, το χρώμα και λιγότερο το άρωμα του.

description: Two or more features belonging to a single object are identified more quickly and more accurately than are features belonging to different objects—a finding attributed to sensory enhancement of all features belonging to an attended or selected object. However, several recent studies have suggested that this “single-object advantage” may be a product of probabilistic and configural strategic prioritizations rather than of object-based perceptual enhancement per se, challenging the underlying mechanism that is thought to give rise to object-based attention. In the present article, we further explore constraints on the mechanisms of object-based selection by examining the contribution of the strength of object representations to the single-object advantage. We manipulated factors such as exposure duration (i.e., preview time) and salience of configuration (i.e., objects). Varying preview time changes the magnitude of the object-based effect, so that if there is ample time to establish an object representation (i.e., preview time of 1,000 msec), then both probability and configuration (i.e., objects) guide attentional selection. If, however, insufficient time is provided to establish a robust object-based representation, then only probabilities guide attentional selection. Interestingly, at a short preview time of 200 msec, when the two objects were sufficiently different from each other (i.e., different colors), both configuration and probability guided attention selection. These results suggest that object-based effects can be explained both in terms of strength of object representations (established at longer exposure durations and by pictorial cues) and probabilistic contingencies in the visual environment.

description: Shrubs are one of the two possible types of the woody perennial component of the agroforestry systems. Shrubs can be placed in arable lands constituting or as part of the hedges or hedgerows in silvoarable areas or in the middle of the plots as part of feed of the silvopasture practices. Management of the shrub hedges is time consuming but helps to reduce the effect of winds on croplands while delivering products usually biomass that can be used as fuel for heating. Some animals can also consume the shrubs during shortage periods contributing to increase the resilience of livestock farming systems. Shrubs can also be used as a source of nutrients for the soil. In Galicia, legume shrubs were traditionally sown to increase the soil fertility and after processing were used as a fertilizer. The most used legume species was Ulex europaeus with a productivity that can be over 100 Mg DM ha-1 after 8 years. The plants were harvested and used as animal bedding that enriched with their faeces and urine the quality of the shrubs, reducing the Carbon/Nitrogen relationship and therefore improving the release of nutrients when applied to arable lands.

description: We study the electronic band structures of massless Dirac fermions in symmetrical graphene superlattice with cells of three regions. Using the transfer matrix method, we explicitly determine the dispersion relation in terms of different physical parameters. We numerically analyze such relation and show that there exist three zones: bound, unbound and forbidden states. In the central zone of the band structures, we determine and enumerate the vertical Dirac points, opening gaps and additional Dirac points. Finally, we inspect the potential effect on minibands, the anisotropy of group velocity and the energy bands contours near Dirac points. We also discuss the evolution of gap edges and cutoff region near the vertical Dirac points.

description: We propose a scheme for the creation of stable three dimensional bright solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates, i.e., the matter-wave analog of so-called spatio-temporal "light bullets". Off-resonant dressing to Rydberg $nD$-states is shown to provide nonlocal attractive interactions, leading to self-trapping of mesoscopic atomic clouds by a collective excitation of a Rydberg atom pair. We present detailed potential calculations, and demonstrate the existence of stable solitons under realistic experimental conditions by means of numerical simulations.

description: Let $H$ be a multiplicatively written monoid with identity $1_H$ (in particular, a group). We denote by $\mathcal P_{\rm fin,\times}(H)$ the monoid obtained by endowing the collection of all finite subsets of $H$ containing a unit with the operation of setwise multiplication $(X,Y) \mapsto \{xy: x \in X, y \in Y\}$; and study fundamental features of the arithmetic of this and related structures, with a focus on the submonoid, $\mathcal P_{\text{fin},1}(H)$, of $\mathcal P_{\text{fin},\times}(H)$ consisting of all finite subsets $X$ of $H$ with $1_H \in X$. Among others, we prove that $\mathcal{P}_{\text{fin},1}(H)$ is atomic (i.e., each non-unit is a product of irreducibles) iff $1_H \ne x^2 \ne x$ for every $x \in H \setminus \{1_H\}$. Then we obtain that $\mathcal{P}_{\text{fin},1}(H)$ is BF (i.e., it is atomic and every element has factorizations of bounded length) iff $H$ is torsion-free; and show how to transfer these conclusions to $\mathcal P_{\text{fin},\times}(H)$. Next, we introduce "minimal factorizations" to account for the fact that monoids may have non-trivial idempotents, in which case standard definitions from Factorization Theory degenerate. Accordingly, we obtain conditions for $\mathcal P_{\text{fin},\times}(H)$ to be BmF (meaning that each non-unit has minimal factorizations of bounded length); and for $\mathcal{P}_{\text{fin},1}(H)$ to be BmF, HmF (i.e., a BmF-monoid where all the minimal factorizations of a given element have the same length), or minimally factorial (i.e., a BmF-monoid where each element has an essentially unique minimal factorization). Finally, we prove how to realize certain intervals as sets of minimal lengths in $\mathcal P_{\text{fin},1}(H)$. Many proofs come down to considering sumset decompositions in cyclic groups, so giving rise to an intriguing interplay with Arithmetic Combinatorics.

Another way of reducing the complexity in the input is to attend selectively to an individual object in the scene and to process its elements preferentially. This latter, object-based attention process was examined, and the predicted superiority for reporting features from 1 relative to 2 objects was replicated in a series of experiments. This object-based process was robust even under conditions of occlusion, although there were some boundary conditions on its operation. Finally, an account of the data is provided via simulations of the findings in a computational model. The claim is that object-based attention arises from a mechanism that groups together those features based on internal representations developed over perceptual experience and then preferentially gates these features for later, selective processing.
A Practical Approach for Detecting Logical Error in Object Oriented Environment

description: A programming language is a formally constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs to control the behavior of a machine or to express algorithms. Most programs that are written by programmers are often compiled correctly with no syntax or semantic errors. However, some other errors appear after the execution of the program (logical error). Logical Errors (LE) are errors that remain after all syntax errors have been removed. Usually, the compiler does not detect LE, so the produced results are different from what the programmer is expecting. For this reason, discovering and fixing the logical error is very hard and proposes a good topic for research and practice. Some LE are resulted from the misuse of classes' objects, and in Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), it is considered that the software with LE is low-quality software with high maintenance cost. In this paper, an object-oriented environment that allows the programmer to detect and discover LE to avoid it. This environment will be called Object Behavior Environment (OBEnvironment) will enforce the correct use of objects according to their predefined behaviors by using tools like Xceed Component (that appeal .Net windows form developers for building better applications), Alsing Component (that provides an area to programmer that allows writing correct syntax code by C# language) and, Mind Fusion Component (that provides an area to programmer that allows drawing State Diagrams to show object state).

description: We present a simple formalism for the evolution of timelike jets in which tree-level matrix element corrections can be systematically incorporated, up to arbitrary parton multiplicities and over all of phase space, in a way that exponentiates the matching corrections. The scheme is cast as a shower Markov chain which generates one single unweighted event sample, that can be passed to standard hadronization models. Remaining perturbative uncertainties are estimated by providing several alternative weight sets for the same events, at a relatively modest additional overhead. As an explicit example, we consider Z -> q qbar evolution with unpolarized, massless quarks and include several formally subleading improvements as well as matching to tree-level matrix elements through alpha_s^4. The resulting algorithm is implemented in the publicly available VINCIA plugin to the PYTHIA 8 event generator.

description: The geometry of a Si$_3$N$_4$ lamellar grating was investigated experimentally with reference-free grazing-incidence X-ray fluorescence analysis. While simple layered systems are usually treated with the matrix formalism to determine the X-ray standing wave field, this approach fails for laterally structured surfaces. Maxwell solvers based on finite elements are often used to model electrical field strengths for any 2D or 3D structures in the optical spectral range. We show that this approach can also be applied in the field of X-rays. The electrical field distribution obtained with the Maxwell solver can subsequently be used to calculate the fluorescence intensities in full analogy to the X-ray standing wave field obtained by the matrix formalism. Only the effective 1D integration for the layer system has to be replaced by a 2D integration of the finite elements, taking into account the local excitation conditions. We will show that this approach is capable of reconstructing the geometric line shape of a structured surface with high elemental sensitivity. This combination of GIXRF and finite-element simulations paves the way for a versatile characterization of nanoscale-structured surfaces.

description: The explorations of the quantum-inspired symmetries in optical and photonic systems have witnessed immense research interests both fundamentally and technologically in a wide range of subjects of physics and engineering. One of the principal emerging fields in this context is non-Hermitian physics based on parity-time symmetry, originally proposed in the studies pertaining to quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, recently ramified into diverse set of areas, particularly in optics and photonics. The intriguing physical effects enabled by non-Hermitian physics and PT symmetry have enhanced significant applications prospects and engineering of novel materials. In addition, it has observed increasing research interests in many emerging directions beyond optics and photonics. This Review paper attempts to bring together the state of the art developments in the field of complex non-Hermitian physics based on PT symmetry in various physical settings along with elucidating key concepts and background and a detailed perspective on new emerging directions. It can be anticipated that this trendy field of interest can be indispensable in providing new perspectives in maneuvering the flow of light in the diverse physical platforms in optics, photonics, condensed matter, opto-electronics and beyond, and offer distinctive applications prospects in novel functional materials.

description: A primary scientific goal of the future Habitable Worlds Observatory will be the direct detection and characterization of Earth-like planets. Estimates of the exoplanet yields for this concept will help guide mission design through detailed trade studies. It is therefore critical that yield estimation codes optimally adapt observations to the mission's performance parameters to ensure accurate trade studies. To aid in this, we implement wavelength optimization in yield calculations for the first time, allowing the yield code to determine the ideal detection and characterization bandpasses. We use this new capability to confirm the observational wavelength assumptions made for the LUVOIR-B study, namely that the optimum detection wavelength is 500 nm for the majority of targets and the optimum wavelength to detect water is near 1000 nm, given LUVOIR-B's assumed instrument performance parameters. We show that including the wavelength dependent albedo of an Earth twin as a prior provides no significant benefit to the yields of exoEarth candidates and caution against tuning observations to modern Earth twins. We also show that coronagraphs whose inner working angles are similar to step functions may benefit from wavelength optimization and demonstrate how wavelength-dependent instrument performance can impact the optimum wavelengths for detection and characterization. The optimization methods we implement automate wavelength selection and remove uncertainties regarding these choices, helping to adapt the observations to the instrument's performance parameters.

description: Operator controllability refers to the ability to implement an arbitrary unitary in SU(N) and is a prerequisite for universal quantum computing. Controllability tests can be used in the design of quantum devices to reduce the number of external controls. Their practical use is hampered, however, by the exponential scaling of their numerical effort with the number of qubits. Here, we devise a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm based on a parametrized quantum circuit. We show that controllability is linked to the number of independent parameters, which can be obtained by dimensional expressivity analysis. We exemplify the application of the algorithm to qubit arrays with nearest-neighbour couplings and local controls. Our work provides a systematic approach to the resource-efficient design of quantum chips.

description: The presence of doubly excited states (DESs) above the core-hole ionization threshold nontrivially modulates the x-ray absorption because the participator Auger decay couples DESs to the underlying low-energy core-hole continuum. We show that coupling also affects the high-energy continuum populated by the spectator Auger decay of DESs. For the K−L223 Auger decay of the 1s−13p−14s21P state in argon, the competing nonresonant path is assigned to the recapture of the 1s photoelectron caused by emission of the fast electron from the shake-up K−L223 decay of the 1s−1 ion.

description: Unobserved objects are typically discovered by making backward inferences from effects to causes. The inverse reasoning account proposes that inferences of this kind are carried out by postulating unobserved causes that best support the forward inference from causes to effects. We evaluated the inverse reasoning account by asking people to reason about hidden attractors and repellers that caused an observed particle to move ab out an arena. We found that people often evaluated specific hypotheses in a manner consistent with the inverse reasoning account but that hypothesis discovery involved processes that were inconsistent with inverse reasoning.
