description: The Halo Assembly in Lambda Cold Dark Matter: Observations in 7 Dimensions (HALO7D) survey measures the kinematics and chemical properties of stars in the Milky Way (MW) stellar halo to learn about the formation of our Galaxy. HALO7D consists of Keck II/DEIMOS spectroscopy and Hubble Space Telescope-measured proper motions of MW halo main sequence turn-off (MSTO) stars in the four CANDELS fields. HALO7D consists of deep pencil beams, making it complementary to other contemporary wide-field surveys. We present the [Fe/H] and [$α$/Fe] abundances for 113 HALO7D stars in the Galactocentric radial range of $\sim 10-40$ kpc. Using the full 7D chemodynamical data (3D positions, 3D velocities, and abundances) of HALO7D, we measure the velocity anisotropy, $β$, of the halo velocity ellipsoid for each field and for different metallicity-binned subsamples. We find that two of the four fields have stars on very radial orbits, while the remaining two have stars on more isotropic orbits. Separating the stars into high, mid, and low [Fe/H] bins at $-2.2$ dex and $-1.1$ dex for each field separately, we find differences in the anisotropies between the fields and between the bins; some fields appear dominated by radial orbits in all bins while other fields show variation between the [Fe/H] bins. These chemodynamical differences are evidence that the HALO7D fields have different fractional contributions from the progenitors that built up the MW stellar halo. Our results highlight the additional information that is available on smaller spatial scales when compared to results from a spherical average of the stellar halo.

description: Τα τελευταία χρόνια η παγκόσμια κοινότητα πλήττεται από την πανδημία του κορωνοϊού, της μεγαλύτερης υγειονομικής πρόκλησης του τελευταίου αιώνα. Η προετοιμασία των ανθρώπων, των κρατικών και υγειονομικών συστημάτων σχεδόν όλων των χωρών μπροστά σε μια τέτοια απειλή μπορεί να κριθεί μάλλον περιορισμένη. Σε κάθε περίπτωση, οι επιπτώσεις ήταν εμφανείς σε όλες τις διαστάσεις της υγείας των ανθρώπων. Πολλές επιστημονικές ομάδες και αξιόλογοι ερευνητές ανάλογα με το ερευνητικό τους αντικείμενο ο καθένας, διενήργησαν μια πληθώρα ερευνών τα τελευταία τρία χρόνια, προσφέροντας στην διεθνή βιβλιογραφία αξιοσημείωτα ευρύματα. Η παρούσα εργασία, επιλέγει το ζήτημα του ενδεχόμενου ιατρικού λάθους στην περίοδο της πανδημίας και διερευνά τους ψυχολογικούς μηχανισμούς των ασθενών και των οικογενειών τους. Προσπαθεί να δώσει μια σαφή εικόνα της ψυχικής κατάστασης ήδη από την στιγμή της πανδημίας, στη διαδικασία της νοσηλείας, στη φάση του πιθανού ιατρικού λάθους έως και τη στιγμή της νομικής προσφυγής. Αναδεικνύονται ενδιαφέρουσες μεταβλητές και σχέσεις που ίσως ερευνητές μέχρι τώρα δεν είχαν εντοπίσει, σε προηγούμενες αντίστοιχες τραυματικές εμπειρίες. Σε κάθε περίπτωση απαιτείται περαιτέρω έρευνα, καθώς η δυναμική φύση όχι της πανδημίας αλλά της ανθρώπινης υπόστασης είναι από μόνη της μια πρόκληση για κάθε νέα ερευνητική προσπάθεια
description: In recent years the global community has been hit by the coronavirus pandemic, the biggest health challenge of the last century. The preparation of the people, state and health systems of almost all countries in the face of such a threat can be considered rather limited. In any case, the effects were evident in all aspects of human health. Many scientific teams and notable researchers, depending on their research subject, have conducted a wealth of research over the last three years, offering remarkable findings in the international literature. The present work resolves the issue of possible medical error during the pandemic and investigates the psychological mechanisms of patients and their families. It tries to give a clear picture of the mental state from the moment of the pandemic, in the process of hospitalization, in the phase of possible medical error until the moment of legal appeal. Interesting variables and relationships emerge that researchers may not have identified so far in previous similar traumatic experiences. In any case further research is required, as the dynamic nature not of the pandemic but of the human condition is in itself a challenge for any new research endeavor

description: Background: Immunization is one of the most successful public health initiatives. Each year, vaccination averts an estimated 2-3 million deaths from diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (whooping cough) and measles. In 2011, nearly 107 million infants (83%) worldwide received at least 3 doses of diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis (DTP) vaccine; however, approximately 22.4 million failed to receive 3 doses, leaving large numbers of children susceptible to vaccine-preventable diseases and death. EPI cluster survey conducted in Ethiopia on 2012 revealed; only 50% of children 12-23 months of age fully complete their vaccination Objective: To assess incomplete vaccination and associated factors among children aged 12-23 months in Yirgalem Town, South Ethiopia Methodology: Community based cross-sectional study was conducted in Yirgalem Town from February15- march 30, 2015. A total of 473 caregivers who have children of aged between 12-23 months were included in this study from all urban kebeles of Yirgalem town. Modified 2005 WHO EPI cluster sampling method was implemented. Interviewer administered structured questionnaire was used. Data were entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20 for Windows. Bivariate and multivariate analysis was done to test the association between independent and dependent variables using binary logistic regression model. Result: From total of 473 children included in the study 96(20%) of them didn"t complete their vaccination according to schedule for routine immunization. DPT-HepB-Hib1- DPT-HepB-Hib3 dropout was 15%. More than half of respondents 289(61%) knew that the vaccination program should be finished at the age of nine months. The study revealed that children were less likely to incomplete vaccination if their primary caregivers knew the benefit of vaccinating child, the age to complete vaccination and advised about the importance of full vaccination. Mothers ANC attendance (AOR=5.3, 95% CI: 1.12, 25) and place of delivery during their last child (AOR=8, 95% CI: 1.92, 33) were significantly associated with vaccination incompletion among children aged 12-23 months. Conclusion: There is low Vaccination coverage among children aged 12-23 months in Yirgalem town compared to national and global target. Caregiver"s educational level, knowledge on benefit of vaccinating child and age to complete immunization, ANC follow up and institutional delivery are significant associated with incomplete vaccination on this study. Yirgalem town health office and health facilities in town should work to Increase community awareness through Intensive health education activities about the benefit and need to complete the entire schedule of vaccination.

description: Back ground: Hairdressing is a worldwide job, with predominantly female staffs of the younger age group, who are exposed to different physical and chemical hazards present in their work environment , which affect their health seriously. However, there is no information regarding Ethiopian situation. Objective: To assess self-reported work-related health symptoms and its determinant factors among hairdressers working in beauty salons of Nifas Silk Lafto Sub City, Addis Ababa. Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using interviewer-administered, pre-tested, structured questionnaire prepared in English and translated to local language (Amharic), to assess 480 stratified, proportionately sampled hairdressers, from April 15 to June 15, 2015. Checklist was used to assess the work environment. Variables on socio-demographic characteristics, work-related symptoms, preventive methods employed, work duration and conditions, and risk factors for ill health were collected after ethical clearance was obtained from the school of Public Health College of Health Sciences. Information collected was processed and analyzed using SPSS-version 20, Chi-x2 test and P value was used to compare the values. Multivariate analysis and logistic regression was done for the risk factors. Results: Musculoskeletal symptom (at least one symptom) was reported by 372 (77.5%) hairdressers. Back (63%) and foot/leg (54.4%) pain/discomfort was reported by the majority. Uncomfortable body posture at work (AOR= 4.256 (95%CI = 2.544 – 7.119)), and non-use of ergonomic tools (AOR, 2.082 (1.148 –3.773)), were major factors associated with musculoskeletal symptom. Hand allergy/eczema was reported by 103 (21.5%) of hairdressers. Of whom 39(38%) of them were those who were engaged in hair washing activity and 61 (59.2%) of them were those who worked more than 8 hours a day. Prevalence of respiratory symptom (at least one symptom) was 207(43.1). Rhinitis (32%) and breathing difficulty at night (11%) were frequently reported symptoms. More than 22% of the hairdressers reported nasal symptom with hair spray and dye application/preparation. Reproductive health problems were reported by 44% (n=25) of hairdressers. Conclusions: The study showed that the hairdressers suffer multiple health symptoms of multifaceted origin, which needs organized and coordinated intervention, yet the profession is neglected. Therefore, ensuring proper work organization and design, and safe work environment is recommended. Awareness Creation regarding musculoskeletal and respiratory symptom is emphasized. Hence, preparing guideline on Occupational Health and Safety of hairdressers' salon, and update of the training manual has paramount importance

description: Vortex lines in superconducting Dirac semimetals realize crystal-symmetry-protected gapless vortex-line phases in which gapless excitations propagate inside a vortex line, in the presence of appropriate crystal symmetry, spin-orbit coupling, and multi-band structures. Here we present a general scheme to classify possible gapless vortex-line phases in superconducting Dirac semimetals with rotation (or screw) symmetry and inversion symmetry, assuming that the rotation (screw) axis is parallel to the vortex line. The rotation (screw)-symmetry-protected gapless modes are stable as long as they have different rotation (screw) eigenvalues. The underlying mechanism for the formation of gapless vortex bound states depends on irreducible representations of rotation (screw) symmetry subject to a vortex field and is classified into three types: (i) accidental band crossing of two vortex bound-state modes under rotation symmetry; (ii) accidental and (iii) enforced band crossing of four vortex bound-state modes under screw symmetry. We present a tight-binding model of screw-symmetry-protected Dirac semimetal with an $s$-wave pair potential, demonstrating a gapless vortex-line phase of type (ii). We obtain four gapless modes of vortex bound states whose gapless points (Majorana zero modes) pinned at a time-reversal invariant momentum (TRIM) when the Fermi energy is close to the Dirac points. As the Fermi energy is moved away from the Dirac points, the four gapless modes are split into a pair of two gapless modes with vanishing excitation energy at non-TRIMs. In closing, we discuss Nb$_3$Pt as a candidate material with the four-fold screw-symmetry-protected Dirac cones that can host a gapless vortex-line phase.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this article we investigate a conformal extension of the standard model in which the scalar sector consists of a standard model Higgs doublet, a real gauge singlet and a real $SU(2)_{L}$ triplet. Focusing on the scenario where the Higgs boson found at the LHC is identified as the pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone boson of broken scale invariance, various theoretical and phenomenological features of the model are discussed. In particular, we analyze the decay pattern of the new scalar resonance. We also show that when the mass of this new scalar resonance is far below the $WW$ threshold, the natural regions of the parameter space are reduced by a constraint associated with the symmetry enhancement due to the decoupling of the singlet scalar from the rest of the system.

description: We investigate the collective plasmonic modes in a chain of metallic nanoparticles that are coupled by near-field interactions. The size- and momentum-dependent nonradiative Landau damping and radiative decay rates are calculated analytically within an open quantum system approach. These decay rates determine the excitation propagation along the chain. In particular, the behavior of the radiative decay rate as a function of the plasmon wavelength leads to a transition from an exponential decay of the collective excitation for short distances to an algebraic decay for large distances. Importantly, we show that the exponential decay is of a purely nonradiative origin. Our transparent model enables us to provide analytical expressions for the polarization-dependent plasmon excitation profile along the chain and for the associated propagation length. Our theoretical analysis constitutes an important step in the quest for the optimal conditions for plasmonic propagation in nanoparticle chains.

description: Η παιδική παχυσαρκία είναι πολύπλευρη νόσος που έχει αντίκτυπο τόσο στην φυσική κατάσταση όσο και στην ψυχική υγεία του παιδιού. Είναι μια πολύπλοκη κατάσταση, συνυφασμένη με βιολογικούς, αναπτυξιακούς, περιβαλλοντικούς, συμπεριφορικούς και γενετικούς παράγοντες. Είναι, επίσης, συνδεδεμένη με αυξημένο κίνδυνο για χρόνιες παθήσεις, όπως η δυσλιπιδαιμία και ο Σακχαρώδης Διαβήτης τύπου 2. Η παιδική παχυσαρκία σχετίζεται ταυτόχρονα με διαταραχές στην ψυχική σφαίρα που επηρεάζουν σε μεγάλο βαθμό την ποιότητα ζωής των νέων. Στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις τόσο οι αλλαγές στον τρόπο ζωής και στις διατροφικές συνήθειες όσο και η φαρμακευτική αγωγή οδηγούν σε πτωχά και βραχυπρόθεσμα αποτελέσματα απώλειας βάρους. Ως τώρα, η βαριατρική χειρουργική έχει δείξει ενθαρρυντικά αποτελέσματα στην αντιμετώπιση της παχυσαρκίας των ενηλίκων, ενώ σε παιδιά και εφήβους αυξάνεται ολοένα και περισσότερο η χρήση της ως θεραπευτικό μέσο. Ο σκοπός της παρούσας μελέτης είναι η εμπεριστατωμένη ανασκόπηση της τρέχουσας βιβλιογραφίας έτσι ώστε να να αναδειχθούν τα οφέλη της βαριατρικής χειρουργικής στους εφήβους καθώς και οι επιπλοκές που ενδεχόμενα εμφανιστούν από μια τέτοιου είδους επέμβαση. Επιπλέον μέσω της ανασκόπησης αυτής θα τονιστούν οι ιδιαιτερότητες ως προς τη διαχείριση της μετεγχειρητικής πορείας των εφήβων τόσο βραχυπρόθεσμα όσο και μακροπρόθεσμα.
description: Childhood obesity is a multifaceted disease that affects a child’s both physical and mental health. It is a complex condition, intertwined with biological, developmental, environmental, behavioral and genetic factors. It is also associated with an increased risk of chronic conditions, such as dyslipidemia and type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, childhood obesity is linked to mental disorders with a significant impact on young people’s quality of life. In most cases, changes in lifestyle and eating habits, as well as medication, lead to poor and short-term weight loss results. So far, bariatric surgery has shown promising results in the treatment of adult obesity, while it is also becoming more popular as a therapeutic option for children and adolescents. The purpose of this study is to conduct a thorough evaluation of the current literature in order to emphasize the benefits of bariatric surgery in adolescents as well as the complications associated with such an operation. In addition, this review will highlight the particularities of both the short-term and long-term postoperative course in cases of adolescents

description: Back ground: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women age between 40 and 55 year worldwide. The Study estimated that 70% of all breast cancer cases worldwide will be in low and middle resource countries by 2020. In Ethiopia breast cancer is the second most often occurring cancer types having a lion's share for higher maternal deaths in the country. Breast self-examination is one of the methods used for early detection of breast cancer. In resource scarce countries like Ethiopia, Breast self-examination is promoted for early detection of breast cancer to prevent related morbidities and mortalities. OBJECTIVE: To assess the magnitude of Breast Self-Examination practice and associated factors among women between 20 up to 70 years attending the selected public health centers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2015. METHODS: A health facility based cross-sectional study was conducted from March-April/2015 among women between 20 up to 70 years attended in selected public health centers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 2015. Health centers were selected by simple random sampling technique and the study participants were selected using Systematic Random Sampling Technique. Data were collected by using a structured and pretested questionnaire. Data transferred from the Epi info database to SPSS database using stat transfer for analysis. Logistic regression analysis was fitted and odds ratios with 95% Confidence intervals and p-values were computed to identify factors associated with the practice of Breast self-examination. Result: There were 406 respondents, which gives a 96% response rate from the expected 422. From the 14 question designed to assess BSE knowledge of the respondents 88(21.7%) scores the median seven and above. Below one fourth 46(11.3%) of the respondents were ever practiced BSE, from that only 24(6%) regularly practiced. The most common reason for not practicing BSE, they didn't know how doing it 224 (55.2%). Women who have knowledge of BSE two times more likely practice BSE (Knowledgeable for BSE AOR 2.227 [1.135 – 4.3]) and also women who have confidence to do BSE six times more likely practice BSE (Have perceived confidence AOR 5.645[2.493 – 12.7]). Therefore, the two variables were that statically significant association with the practice of BSE. Conclusion: This study revealed a low level of ever practice BSE and from that few of them regularly practice Breast self-examine. Thus warrant to the concerned bodies for creation of breast cancer awareness campaigns and screening programs at all levels of the health sector to promote early detection and diagnosis in the prevention of breast cancer in women in Ethiopia.

description: We consider the linearization of $N = 1$ nonlinear supersymmetry (NLSUSY) based on a commutator algebra in Volkov-Akulov NLSUSY theory. We show explicitly that $U(1)$ gauge and scalar supermultiplets in addition to a vector supermultiplet with general auxiliary fields in linear SUSY theories are obtained from a same set of bosonic and fermionic functionals (composites) which are expressed as simple products of the powers of a Nambu-Goldstone fermion and a fundamental determinant in the NLSUSY theory.

description: The seriousness in magnitude of physical violence, and lack of information on the dimensions and context of the problem here in Ethiopia, have made this paper to be important. A cross-sectional survey and a focus group discussion were conducted in Meskanena Mareko woreda, South western Ethiopia, for a period of one month with an objective to assess the magnitude and types of physical violence against married women and its associated factors. A total of 673 married women were included in the study. The study found out the overall prevalence of physical violence on married women to be 45.0 % and 9.7 % in their lifetime and last three months, respectively. The type of physical violence most frequently observed was slapping or hitting a woman with a fist, kicking with leg, and hitting with stick or iron bar. The out comes of the physical violence ranged from small laceration to permanent damages. The study has also shown that khat chewing than not chewing (OR= 1.59, 95 % CI: 1.13, 2.23), marriage initiated by family than by self (OR= 1.94, 95 % CI: 1.14, 3.37), having history of parental spousal abuse than don't have (OR= 1.89 95 % CI: 1.37, 2.39), having social confidant than don't have (OR= 1.95, 95 % CI: 1.30, 2.97) and alcoholic than non alcoholic spouses were the most contributing factors to the increase in magnitude of physical violence against married women. We recommend policy makers to be involved to entail the problem and increase public awareness of physical violence and introduce enforcing law and other researchers to carry out an in depth study to identify circumstances of physical violence, what the community regards physical violence and to come up with further analysis in terms of spouses point of view.

description: The holographic entanglement entropy is studied numerically in (4+1)-dimensional spherically symmetric Gauss-Bonnet AdS black hole spacetime with compact boundary. On the bulk side the black hole spacetime undergoes a van der Waals-like phase transition in the extended phase space, which is reviewed with emphasis on the behavior on the temperature-entropy plane. On the boundary, we calculated the regularized HEE of a disk region of different sizes. We find strong numerical evidence for the failure of equal area law for isobaric curves on the temperature-HEE plane and for the correctness of first law of entanglement entropy, and briefly give an explanation for why the latter may serve as a reason for the former, i.e. the failure of equal area law on the temperature-HEE plane.

description: Σύμφωνα με την αναπτυξιακή ψυχολογία, ο άνθρωπος αναπτύσσει σε διαφορετικές φάσεις της ζωής του, την προσωπικότητα, τις ικανότητες και τις δεξιότητες που πηγάζουν από τις προσλαμβάνουσες που είχε κατά την παιδική ηλικία. Συμβαίνει συχνά να εκδηλώνει ιδιαιτερότητες στη συμπεριφορά του κατά την περίοδο της εφηβείας, που αποτελεί εκ φύσεως μία κρίσιμη ¨φάση¨ και από εκεί καθορίζεται η εξέλιξη που θα έχει ως ενήλικας. Στην παρούσα εργασία έγινε μια βιβλιογραφική μελέτη για τον αντίκτυπο που έχει σε έναν έφηβο η αλληλεπίδρασή του με έναν κατοικίδιο σκύλο και από το πλήθος των ερευνών, είναι φανερό, ότι το αποτέλεσμα μιας τέτοιας επαφής, είναι τις περισσότερες φορές θετικό. Ο σκύλος που συνυπάρχει με τον έφηβο μπορεί να απορροφά τους κραδασμούς κατά τη δύσκολη εφηβική περίοδο, να υποστηρίζει τον έφηβο και να τον βοηθάει να εκδηλώσει συναισθήματα, ώστε να εξελιχθεί στη συνέχεια σε υγιή ενήλικα τόσο ψυχικά, όσο και σωματικά, όπως αποδεικνύεται στην εργασία
description: According to developmental psychology, a person develops the personality, the abilities and skills that stem from the influences he had in childhood at different stages of his life. It often happens that he manifests distinctive behaviors during adolescence, which is by nature a critical period during which his development as an adult is determined. . In the present study, a literature review was conducted on the impact that the interaction with a pet dog has on adolescents. Based on the body of literature, it is evident that the result of such contact, will most of the time be positive. A dog that coexists with an adolescent can mitigate adversities during the difficult adolescent years,, support the adolescent and help his emotional expression, so that he later develops into a healthy adult both mentally and physically, as shown in this study

Knowledge on Maternal Health Benefits of Donated Blood and Blood Donation among University Students
Creators: name: Haileselassie, Amanuel
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Background-Access to a safe and sufficient blood supply could avert up to 150,000 pregnancy related deaths globally each year. At minimum, the World Health Organization estimates that a country needs 1% to 3% of its population to donate blood to meet its need.Yet, many African countries including Ethiopia are far below the minimum blood collection rate. This gap between blood supply & demand has a significant impact on maternal mortality in SSA countries where 26% (16–72%) of maternal hemorrhage related deaths were due to lack of blood for transfusion. Different studies in developed and developing countries show a knowledge gap on the benefit of blood donation, unfavorable attitude & poor practice of blood donation. In Ethiopia, however, there are few studies conducted on this important area. Objective- To assess knowledge on maternal health benefits of donated blood, attitude & practice of blood donation & associated factors among Addis Ababa Science & Technology University students. Methods- A cross-sectional study was conducted among 421 students in Addis Ababa Science and Technology University who were selected through a stratified random sampling technique. Pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data through a face to face interview. The data was coded and entered into EPI info version 7.0, cleaned in SPSS version 20.0 and analyzed in STATA 12.1. Then, descriptive statistics and two step (bivariate and multivariate) logistic regressions analyses was applied. Result- Among 421 respondents, 245 (58.19%) respondents had good knowledge about maternal health benefits of donated blood & 221 (52.49%) respondents had favorable attitude towards blood donation. About a quarter of study participants (105, 24.94%) had donated blood. Studying in biological science [AOR, (95% CI), 2.95 (1.16, 7.49)], being from wealthier families [AOR, (95% CI), 2.85 (1.36,5.97)] , family history of blood transfusion [AOR, (95% CI), 3.49 (1.89,6.45)], good knowledge about maternal health benefit of donated blood [AOR, (95%CI), 3.94 (1.97, 7.89)] & favorable attitude towards blood donation [AOR, (95%CI), 5.03 (2.63, 9.62)] were significantly associated with blood donation. Conclusion/recommendation- Knowledge about maternal health benefit of donated blood, favorable attitude and practice of blood donation is low. So, NBBS of Ethiopia should work jointly with all stakeholders (Government institutions, NGO's, Community Based Organizations, Media and Private organizations) to create more awareness and sensitization about the need of blood for maternal health & increase number of blood donors.

description: In their article on new directions in cancer and aging, Kobayashi et al discuss the important issue of control selection in cancer survivorship studies. As in all areas of epidemiology and health services research, the scientific question should drive the choice of comparison groups. We believe that it is helpful to consider the comparators needed to address 3 distinct types of survivorship questions.

description: Charge and energy fractionalization are among the most intriguing features of interacting onedimensional fermion systems. In this work we determine how these phenomena are modified in the presence of an interaction quench. Charge and energy are injected into the system suddenly after the quench, by means of tunneling processes with a non-interacting one-dimensional probe. Here, we demonstrate that the system settles to a steady state in which the charge fractionalization ratio is unaffected by the pre-quenched parameters. On the contrary, due to the post-quench nonequilibrium spectral function, the energy partitioning ratio is strongly modified, reaching values larger than one. This is a peculiar feature of the non-equilibrium dynamics of the quench process and it is in sharp contrast with the non-quenched case, where the ratio is bounded by one.

description: Shortcuts to adiabaticity provides a flexible method to accelerate and improve a quantum control task beyond adiabatic criteria. Here we propose the reverse-engineering approach to design the longitudinal coupling between a set of qubits coupled to several field modes, for achieving a fast generation of multi-partite quantum gates in photonic or qubit-based architecture. We show that the enhancing generation time is at the nanosecond scale that does not scale with the number of system components. In addition, our protocol does not suffer noticeable detrimental effects due to the dissipative dynamics. Finally, the possible implementation is discussed with the state-of-the-art circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture.

description: Considering stationary states of continuous-variable systems undergoing an open dynamics, we unveil the connection between properties and symmetries of the latter and the dynamical parameters. In particular, we explore the relation between the Lyapunov equation for dynamical systems and the steady-state solutions of a time-independent Lindblad master equation for bosonic modes. Exploiting bona-fide relations that characterize some genuine quantum properties (entanglement, classicality, and steerability), we obtain conditions on the dynamical parameters for which the system is driven to a steady-state possessing such properties. We also develop a method to capture the symmetries of a steady state based on symmetries of the Lyapunov equation. All the results and examples can be useful for steady-state engineering process.

description: Η Υπερφονικότητα αποτελεί έναν ιδιαίτερα επιθετικό τρόπο ανθρωποκτονίας, όπου ο δράστης, παρόλο που έχει ήδη σκοτώσει το θύμα, συνεχίζει να του προκαλεί τραύματα ή χρησιμοποιεί περισσότερα όπλα ή περισσότερους του ενός τρόπους δολοφονίας. Αρκετές φορές, η υπερφονικότητα έχει συνδεθεί με ψυχιατρικές διαταραχές, κυρίως με τη σχιζοφρένεια, χωρίς όμως αυτό να είναι συχνό στη βιβλιογραφία. Είναι σημαντικό, μετά τη σύλληψη του δράστη να διαπιστωθεί αν πρόκειται για έγκλημα που έγινε σε κατάσταση «βρασμού ψυχικής ορμής», αν δηλαδή το έγκλημα ήταν προμελετημένο και οργανωμένο ή όχι, αλλά και αν υπάρχει καταλογισμός του δράστη. Ο διαχωρισμός αυτός είναι σημαντικός, καθώς μπορεί να επηρεάσει τη βαρύτητα της κατηγορίας και την ποινή που θα επιβληθεί στον δράστη. Η έννοια του «καταλογισμού» είναι βασική, αφού από αυτή εξαρτάται το αν ο κατηγορούμενος είναι σε θέση να δικαστεί ή αν δεν μπορεί να αντιληφθεί την πράξη του και τις συνέπειες της. Η διαδικασία της ψυχιατρικής πραγματογνωμοσύνης μπορεί να δώσει απαντήσεις σε συγκεκριμένα στοιχεία που αφορούν το έγκλημα, όπως για παράδειγμα, για την ψυχολογική κατάσταση του θύτη, τα κίνητρα, τη σχέση του θύτη με το θύμα, αλλά και στοιχεία που θα βοηθήσουν στην απόφαση περί καταλογισμού του δράστη
description: Overkilling is a particularly aggressive form of homicide, where the perpetrator, even though he has already killed the victim, continues to injure him or use more weapons or more than one way of killing. Overkilling has been linked several times to psychiatric disorders, mainly schizophrenia, but this is not common in the literature. It is important, after the arrest of the perpetrator, to understand the mondus operandi or the signature and if the crime was premeditated and organized or not, but also whether there is a liability of the perpetrator. This distinction is important, as it can affect the gravity of the charge and the punishment that will be imposed on the perpetrator. The concept of "liability" is basic, since it depends on whether the accused is able to stand trial or whether he cannot understand his act and its consequences. The process of psychiatric expertise can provide answers to specific information related to the crime, such as, for example, the perpetrator's psychological state, the criminal intent, the perpetrator's relationship with the victim, but also information that will help in the decision on liability
