description: We describe a new formalism to fit the parameters $α$ and $β$ that are used in the SALT2 model to determine the standard magnitudes of Type Ia supernovae. The new formalism describes the intrinsic scatter in Type Ia supernovae by a covariance matrix in place of the single parameter normally used. We have applied this formalism to the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Supernova Survey (SDSS-II) data and conclude that the data are best described by $α=0.135_{-.017}^{+.033}$ and $β=3.19_{-0.24}^{+0.14}$, where the error is dominated by the uncertainty in the form of the intrinsic scatter matrix. Our result depends on the introduction of a more general form for the intrinsic scatter of the distance moduli of Type Ia supernovae than is conventional, resulting in a larger value of $β$ and a larger uncertainty than the conventional approach. Although this analysis results in a larger value of $β$ and a larger error, the SDSS data differ (at a 98% confidence level) with $β=4.1$, the value expected for extinction by the type of dust found in the Milky Way. We have modeled the distribution of supernovae Ia in terms of their color and conclude that there is strong evidence that variation in color is a significant contributor to the scatter of supernovae Ia around their standard candle magnitude.

description: The external human ear is considered to be highly variable among individuals. Hence, forensic applications could be explored for human identification. This research compares the usefulness of Cameriere's ear identification method, in samples originating from six different countries (Brazil, India, Japan, Russia, South Africa and Turkey) in order to examine possible differences in their accuracy values. A sample of 2,225 photographs of the external human ear (1,134 left and 1,091 right ears) from 1,411 individuals (633 females and 778 males) was collected. The samples included healthy subjects with no systemic disorders and without any craniofacial trauma, maxillofacial abnormalities, auricular anomalies, ear diseases or previous auricular surgery. Cameriere's ear identification method was applied and measurements were performed on the images of each ear, considering four anatomic regions: helix, antihelix, concha, and lobe. The quantified measurement values were converted into a proposed coded number system. A search for identical codes was accomplished to find out the distinctiveness of the morphology of the human ear. The combined codes of left and right ears of each of the 814 subjects were not repeated in this multi-ethnic study sample. Dirichlet's distribution and the inherent study equation showed that the probability of two different individuals having the same code (false-positive identification) was found to be < 0.0007. Because of the distinctive metrics of the ratios of external human ears, studies with Cameriere's ear identification method may be valuable for human identification. Studying the differences between the left and right ears of the same individual and across different ethnic groups could contribute to the development of supplementary tools for human identification.

description: We present a description of locally equivalent states in terms of symplectic geometry. Using the moment map between local orbits in the space of states and coadjoint orbits of the local unitary group we reduce the problem of local unitary equivalence to an easy part consisting of identifying the proper coadjoint orbit and a harder problem of the geometry of fibers of the moment map. We give a detailed analysis of the properties of orbits of "equally entangled states". In particular we show connections between certain symplectic properties of orbits such as their isotropy and coisotropy with effective criteria of local unitary equivalence.

description: Um als Fachhochschule die Orientierung an Praxisbedürfnissen sicherzustellen, wird neben der wissenschaftlichen Qualifikation auch der Praxisbezug eingefordert ("doppeltes Kompetenzprofil"). Doch es ist unklar, wie die Bedürfnisse, Haltungen und Erwartungen der klinischen Praxis in Bezug auf die Schnittstelle Fachhochschule-Praxis aussehen. Somit ist es notwendig, die institutions- bzw. bereichsübergreifende Zusammenarbeit und ihre Beteiligten zu beleuchten. Ziel: Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt auf, welche Bedürfnisse und Haltungen Personen aus der klinischen Praxis hinsichtlich der Zusammenarbeit mit der Fachhochschule haben und was sie von Personen mit doppeltem Kompetenzprofil erwarten. Methode: 24 ausgewählte Vertretende aus Akut-, Rehabilitations- und Geriatriepflegeinstitutionen sind in leitfadengestützten Einzel- und Fokusgruppeninterviews zu den fünf Blockthemen Ist-Zustand, Veränderungsbedarf, Handlungsfelder, Bedürfnisse und Nachhaltigkeit befragt worden. Ergebnisse: Praxisinstitutionen haben ein deutliches Bedürfnis nach Vernetzung und Wissenszirkulation mit der Fachhochschule gezeigt. Diese stehen in Wechselwirkung mit den vier Unterkategorien: Übergeordnetes Ziel, Personalentwicklung, Ressourcen und Rahmenbedingungen. Schlussfolgerungen: Personen mit doppeltem Kompetenzprofil eröffnen eine valide Möglichkeit, Fachhochschulen und Praxisinstitutionen auf konkrete Art näher zusammenzuführen. Ihre komplexen Arbeitswelten erfordern sinnvolle Rahmenbedingungen, gemeinsame Ziele und den Einbezug wichtiger Stakeholder.

description: Climate Indicators for Agriculture identifies 20 climate indicators that are important for agricultural management in a changing climate. The same indicators will allow scientists to identify the types and magnitude of change faced by agricultural producers and land managers across the United States. Five categories of indicator are described. Physical indicators show changes in climate variables that have direct effects on agricultural production and food systems. Crop and Livestock indicators show climate-induced changes in agricultural systems. Biological Indicators show how climate change is altering the range and infestation intensities of weeds, pests, disease and disease vectors that affect crop production and animal agriculture. Phenological Indicators show how climate change is affecting the timing of seasonal activities in agriculture, such as the date of flowering and pollination for a given crop. Socioeconomic Indicators show how human and economic factors in agriculture are affected by climate change.

description: We present a quantum repeater scheme based on the recently proposed qubit amplifier [N. Gisin, S. Pironio and N. Sangouard, Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 070501 (2010)]. It relies on a on-demand entangled-photon pair source which uses on-demand single-photon sources, linear optical elements and atomic ensembles. Interestingly, the imperfections affecting the states created from this source, caused e.g. by detectors with non-unit efficiencies, are systematically purified from an entanglement swapping operation based on a two-photon detection. This allows the distribution of entanglement over very long distances with a high fidelity, i.e. without vacuum components and multiphoton errors. Therefore, the resulting quantum repeater architecture does not necessitate final postselections and thus achieves high entanglement distribution rates. This also provides unique opportunities for device-independent quantum key distribution over long distances with linear optics and atomic ensembles.

description: A novel method to determine the density and temperature of a system based on quantum Fermionic fluctuations is generalized to the limit where the reached temperature T is large compared to the Fermi energy εf . Quadrupole and particle multiplicity fluctuations relations are derived in terms of T . The relevant Fermi integrals are numerically solved for any values of T and compared to the analytical approximations. The classical limit is obtained, as expected, in the limit of large temperatures and small densities. We propose simple analytical formulas which reproduce the numerical results, valid for all values of T . The entropy can also be easily derived from quantum fluctuations and give important insight for the behavior of the system near a phase transition. A comparison of the quantum entropy to the entropy derived from the ratio of the number of deuterons to neutrons gives a very good agreement especially when the density of the system is very low.

description: Saint Eudokimos is a newly-appeared saint, who practiced the angelic life in the Monastery of Vatopedi on Mount Athos. His fragrant remains were found in the cemetery of the Monastery in 1840. His memory is celebrated on October 5, and his Asmatic Service is found in an anonymous headless manuscript of the Vatopedi Monastery. This Sequence is written in mid-Byzantine, microgrammatic and pearl-braided script. The proshomoion and idiomelo-doxastics of the saint are found set to music, by Matthew Vatopedinos, in the Panegyriki (Cf. Vatopediou 1601 and Panigyriki I, Mount Athos 1997). Their melos is the usual Agioritei of the time after the first decades of the application of the new method of notation. While the classical music text is followed, in principle, new, usually small, melodic shapes, characteristic of the Agioritei style, are also introduced, while the personal movements of the composer's voice are noted. Recording in this way, exuberantly, orality. In this paper, the Asmatic Service of the Neophanous Saint Eudokimos of Vatopedinos is presented, as well as the compositions of Matthew with extensive comments on the modality. Also, the rule lines and hexapods are adjusted, according to the classic music text. In this way a complete Sequence is presented, with the necessary musicological comments and notes.

description: Traditionell wurde die Ausbildung von Volleyballtrainern physisch in der Turnhalle und im Klassenzimmer durchgeführt, aber aufgrund von Covid-19 und den notwendigen Maßnahmen zur Eindämmung der Pandemie war dies im Frühjahr 2020 nicht mehr möglich. Anstatt den bereits geplanten Kurs abzusagen, haben wir uns entschieden, den Kurs online zu verlegen. Der Entwicklungsprozess wurde von der Frage geleitet, ob wir volleyballspezifische Fähigkeiten online vermitteln können. Als Ergebnis haben wir einen vollständigen Online-Blended-Learning-Kurs mit einem problemzentrierten Ansatz und authentischen videobasierten Aufgaben entwickelt. Insgesamt nahmen 23 angehende Coaches an dem Kurs teil. Der Kompetenzerwerb wurde anhand eines Pretest-Posttest-Designs gemessen, das einen großen Einfluss unseres Designs auf den Erwerb von Fähigkeiten zeigt. Darüber hinaus befragten wir die Einstellung der Teilnehmer zum Lerndesign. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass angehende Trainer mit dem Design zufrieden waren und den Online-Lernkurs als nützlich für die Ausbildung von Volleyballtrainern empfanden. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen können wir die Kombination von Videos und interaktiven Inhalten empfehlen, um authentische problemzentrierte Aufgaben bereitzustellen, um Online-Fähigkeiten in der Ausbildung von Volleyballtrainern zu erleichtern.

description: The nonlinear formulation developed based on von Karman's assumptions is employed to study the free vibration characteristics of functionally graded material (FGM) plates subjected to thermal environment. Temperature field is assumed to be a uniform distribution over the plate surface and varied in the thickness direction. The material is assumed to be temperature dependent and graded in the thickness direction according to the power-law distribution in terms of volume fractions of the constituents. The effective material properties are estimated from the volume fractions and the material properties of the constituents using Mori-Tanaka homogenization method. The nonlinear governing equations obtained using Lagrange's equations of motion are solved using finite element procedure coupled with the direct iteration technique. The variation of nonlinear frequency ratio with amplitude is highlighted considering various parameters such as gradient index, temperature, thickness and aspect ratios, and skew angle. For the numerical illustrations, silicon nitride/stainless steel is considered as functionally graded material. The results obtained here reveal that the temperature field and gradient index have significant effect on the nonlinear vibration of the functionally graded plate.

description: We present the first unambiguous detection of quasi-periodic wave trains within the broad pulse of a global EUV wave (so-called "EIT wave") occurring on the limb. These wave trains, running ahead of the lateral CME front of 2-4 times slower, coherently travel to distances $>R_{sun}/2$ along the solar surface, with initial velocities up to 1400 km/s decelerating to ~650 km/s. The rapid expansion of the CME initiated at an elevated height of 110 Mm produces a strong downward and lateral compression, which may play an important role in driving the primary EUV wave and shaping its front forwardly inclined toward the solar surface. The waves have a dominant 2 min periodicity that matches the X-ray flare pulsations, suggesting a causal connection. The arrival of the leading EUV wave front at increasing distances produces an uninterrupted chain sequence of deflections and/or transverse (likely fast kink mode) oscillations of local structures, including a flux-rope coronal cavity and its embedded filament with delayed onsets consistent with the wave travel time at an elevated (by ~50%) velocity within it. This suggests that the EUV wave penetrates through a topological separatrix surface into the cavity, unexpected from CME caused magnetic reconfiguration. These observations, when taken together, provide compelling evidence of the fast-mode MHD wave nature of the {\it primary (outer) fast component} of a global EUV wave, running ahead of the {\it secondary (inner) slow} component of CME-caused restructuring.

description: Signatures of new physics beyond the Standard Model are often characterized by large missing transverse energy ($\not E_T$) produced in association with multiple jets. The dominant Standard Model background to such processes comes from gauge-boson production in association with jets. A standard search strategy involves looking for an excess in the $m_{eff}$ distribution, where $m_{eff}= \not E_T +\sum_{J} p^T_J$ and $p^T_J$ denotes the transverse momentum of the $J$-th jet. The region of large $m_{eff}$ is dominated by jet production near threshold, giving rise to large Sudakov logarithms that can change the magnitude and shape of the $m_{eff}$ distribution. We present an effective theory framework for the resummation of such threshold logarithms. We perform an analysis for exclusive jet production using the N-jettiness global event shape, which allows theoretical control to also be maintained over large logarithms induced by vetoing additional jets. As a first step, we give explicit numerical results with next-to-leading-log (NLL) resummation for $pp \to γ+ 2$ jets in the large $m_{eff}$ region.

Dairy manure treatment using solid-liquid separation and microwave enhanced advanced oxidation process
Creators: name: Yawson, Selina Kuukuwa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Dairy manure treatment, using solid-liquid separation and microwave enhanced advanced oxidation process (MW/H₂O₂-AOP), was investigated. The objectives of the research were to determine: 1) the nutrient and metal composition of solid and liquid fractions of raw dairy manure following solid-liquid separation, 2) the effects of MW/H₂O₂-AOP operating factors of temperature, hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) dosage, acid concentration and heating time on sugar production and nutrient release from solid dairy manure. Solid-liquid separation of raw dairy manure, using a 1mm laboratory sieve, showed that solid fractions had a higher composition of TS and volatile solids (VS), while the liquid fractions were richer in nutrients and metals. Laboratory separation by screening alone was not effective in removing high amounts of nutrients and solids from the raw manure. Screening experiments were conducted using cellulose fibers to study the effects of temperature, acid concentration, H₂O₂ dosage and heating time on sugar production, with the aim of applying the results to dairy manure lignocellulosic material. Sugar production increased when acid concentration was increased from 1% to 3%, but decreased with an increase to 10%. More sugar was produced at 160°C compared to 120°C. Sugar production decreased with increasing time. Microwave irradiation of solid dairy manure at pH 2, temperatures of 80, 120 and 160°C, H₂O₂ dosages of 0 to 0.50 mL, and heating times of 10 to 20 min, showed that more sugars were released at higher temperatures. Temperature and hydrogen peroxide dosage were identified as the most important factors affecting solubilization of phosphorus and ammonia. Subsequently, a two-stage acid hydrolysis process, using MW/H₂O₂-AOP, was used to investigate sugar production and solubilization of phosphorus and ammonia from solid dairy manure at: 3% acid concentration, 120 and 160°C, 0 and 2 mL H₂O₂ and heating times of 20 and 60min. To enhance sugar production from solid dairy manure, the microwave should be operated at higher temperatures and shorter heating times with no H₂O₂. For ammonia and phosphorus solubilization, higher temperatures and longer heating times, in the presence of H₂O₂, would be advantageous. MW/H₂O₂-AOP is therefore an efficient means for treating diary manure for nutrient recovery.

description: This work demonstrates a solution-adaptive approach for solving fluid-structure interaction problems using high-fidelity numerical methods along with a detailed analysis of mesh-motion errors. A high-order partitioned approach is applied to couple the fluid and the structural subsystems, where the fluid subsystem is discretized using a discontinuous Galerkin finite-element method, while the structural solver uses a continuous Galerkin discretization. High-order time integration schemes are used by the coupled solver to march forward in time, and the spatial meshes of the fluid and the structural subsystems are adapted using output-based methods. The error estimates for the unsteady outputs are evaluated by calculating the unsteady adjoint of the coupled problem. Adaptive meshing is used to demonstrate the importance of mesh-motion errors on output convergence and a comprehensive analysis is conducted to control such errors arising from the mesh deformation algorithm. The adapted meshes converge at a faster rate with fewer degrees of freedom, thereby increasing accuracy and reducing computational cost. The benefits of adaptive meshing are demonstrated on two-dimensional and three-dimensional aeroelastic problems for a variety of coupled outputs. As an alternative to the adjoint-based mesh adaptation process, a data-driven method is also developed to improve the efficiency of non-uniform anisotropic mesh generation.

case studies

description: This contribution discusses two case studies that illustrate the experiences of mobility students who were studying abroad during the first outbreak of COVID - 19. The case studies have emerged from a larger longitudinal, mixed - method study, which included a n interview study with six international students planned for spring 2020. Due to the COVID - 19 pandemic, all participants had to terminate their stay early. Hence, the original interview study was adapted to focus on the impact of COVID - 19 on students' soc ial contacts, linguistic practices , and emotional well - being in these exceptional circumstances. In the present contribution, we understand study abroad as a rite of passage, an important time in the life of young adults, and we draw on insights from previ ous research on educational travels with transformative potential to make sense of the students' differing reactions to their early return

Then we presented the features of frozen expressions and the restrictions on vocabulary, grammar, and syntax. Furthermore, we analyzed the models concerning the comprehension of frozen expressions and we examined children’s ability to produce and understand frozen expressions as well as ways of teaching them to foreign learners. We also examined the compilation of dictionaries of frozen expressions and we presented selected Greek dictionaries written in the last two decades. Another aim of this study was to examine the historical dimension of frozen expressions.

description: MiniBooNE anti-neutrino charged-current quasi-elastic (CCQE) data is compared to model predictions. The main background of neutrino-induced events is examined first, where three independent techniques are employed. Results indicate the neutrino flux is consistent with a uniform reduction of $\sim$ 20% relative to the largely uncertain prediction. After background subtraction, the $Q^{2}$ shape of $\numub$ CCQE events is consistent with the model parameter $M_{A}$ = 1.35 GeV determined from MiniBooNE $\numu$ CCQE data, while the normalization is $\sim$ 20% high compared to the same prediction.

description: We present a framework for performing a comprehensive analysis of a large class of supersymmetric models, including spectrum calculation, dark matter studies and collider phenomenology. To this end, the respective model is defined in an easy and straightforward way using the \Mathematica package SARAH. SARAH then generates model files for CalcHep which can be used with MicrOmegas as well as model files for WHIZARD and OMEGA. In addition, Fortran source code for SPheno is created which facilitates the determination of the particle spectrum using two-loop renormalization group equations and one-loop corrections to the masses. As an additional feature, the generated SPheno code can write out input files suitable for use with HiggsBounds to apply bounds coming from the Higgs searches to the model. Combining all program provides a closed chain from model building to phenomenology.

description: One of the most rewarding aspects of the rewrite and reboot of “The Eugenics Anthology” was working with now-retired Professor Garland E. Allen. Anyone that has spent any amount of time researching eugenics and scientific racism knows that Professor Allen is one of the most often cited authorities on the subject. Professor Allen led the move to research the American side of the International eugenics movement and was rummaging through the Laughlin Papers at Truman University’s Special Collections before they were even organized into boxes. Professor Allen was a pioneer, while others in academia had a myopic focus on the German side of the equation. Needless to say, benefiting from Professor Allen’s guidance through the rewrite of “H.H. Laughlin” was a milestone in itself; one of those occasions where the journey was a reward in itself. It is thus that I am proud to share the Foreword Professor Allen wrote for “H.H. Laughlin.” - A.E. Samaan, 12/13/2020

description: The nature and interplay of intrinsic point and extended defects in n-type Si-doped InN epilayers with free carrier concentrations up to 6.6x10E20cm-3 are studied using positron annihilation spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy and compared to results from undoped irradiated films. In as-grown Si-doped samples, V_In-V_N complexes are the dominant III-sublattice related vacancy defects. Enhanced formation of larger V_In-mV_N clusters is observed at the interface, which speaks for high concentrations of additional V_N in the near-interface region and coincides with an increase in the density of screw and edge type dislocations in that area.

description: Η άνοια είναι μια προοδευτική νευρολογική κατάσταση που χαρακτηρίζεται από προβλήματα μνήμης, γλώσσας και εκτελεστικής λειτουργίας. Η άνοια έχει αρνητικές επιπτώσεις στην καθημερινότητα και τη ψυχική υγεία του ατόμου. Η επιδείνωση της μνήμης και των επικοινωνιακών δεξιοτήτων έχει ως αποτέλεσμα την απώλεια της ανεξαρτησίας καθώς και ένα σύνολο συμπεριφορικών και ψυχολογικών συμπτωμάτων, όπως η διέγερση, η ανυπομονησία και οι διαταραχές της διάθεσης. Η άνοια αποτελεί σοβαρό πρόβλημα υγείας στους γηράσκοντες πληθυσμούς, με τεράστιες δαπάνες που συνδέονται με την επίσημη και άτυπη φροντίδα για τα άτομα που έχουν πληγεί και την κοινωνία στο σύνολό της. Ο επιπολασμός της άνοιας αυξάνεται, επηρεάζοντας περισσότερα από 44 εκατομμύρια άτομα παγκοσμίως αυτή τη στιγμή και αναμένεται να φτάσει τα 75 εκατομμύρια έως το 2030. Η νόσος Alzheimer (AD) αποτελεί μια από τις κύριες αιτίες άνοιας χωρίς να είναι η μόνη, η άνοια που οφείλεται σε σωμάτια Lewy, η άνοια εξαιτίας της νόσου του Parkinson, η αγγειακή άνοια και η Μετωποκροταφική Άνοια Συμπεριφορικού τύπου. Δεν υπάρχει πλέον καμία θεραπεία για αυτές τις ασθένειες, ούτε υπάρχουν φαρμακευτικές θεραπείες που να είναι επιτυχείς. Για το λόγο αυτό η επιστημονική κοινότητα έχει επικεντρωθεί σε μη φαρμακευτικές στρατηγικές, όπως η θεραπεία αναπόλησης, η μουσικοθεραπεία και η άσκηση. Αναμένεται ότι οι εν λόγω μη φαρμακευτικές μέθοδοι επιδρούν θετικά στη γνωστική απώλεια που σχετίζεται με την άνοια.
description: Dementia is a progressive neurological condition characterized by problems with memory, language and executive function. Dementia has negative effects on the person's daily life and mental health. Deterioration of memory and communication skills results in loss of independence as well as a host of behavioral and psychological symptoms such as agitation, impatience and mood disorders. Dementia is a serious health problem in aging populations, with enormous costs associated with formal and informal care for affected individuals and society as a whole. The prevalence of dementia is increasing, affecting more than 44 million people worldwide currently and is expected to reach 75 million by 2030. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the leading causes of dementia but is not the only dementia due to in Lewy bodies, dementia due to Parkinson's disease, vascular dementia and Frontotemporal Dementia Behavioral type. There is no longer any cure for these diseases, nor are there any drug treatments that are successful. For this reason the scientific community has focused on non-pharmacological strategies such as reminiscence therapy, music therapy and exercise. It is expected that these non-pharmacological methods have a positive effect on the cognitive loss associated with dementia.

description: E-Health is a relatively recent term for healthcare practice supported by electronic processes and communication, dating back to at least 1999. E-Health is greatly impacting on information distribution and availability within the health services, hospitals and to the public. E-health was introduced as the death of telemedicine, because - in the context of a broad availability of medical information systems that can interconnect and communicate - telemedicine will no longer exist as a specific field. The same could also be said for any other traditional field in medical informatics, including information systems and electronic patient records. E-health presents itself as a common name for all such technological fields. In this paper we focuses in multi database by determined some sites and distributed it in Homogenous way. This will be followed by an illustrative example as related works. Finally, the paper concludes with general remarks and a statement of further work.

description: H παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αναζητά τα σημεία διασταύρωσης του πολιτικού φιλελευθερισμού με τη λογοτεχνική γραφή του Γ. Θεοτοκά, έτσι όπως αυτή εκφράζεται στην Αργώ (α’ τόμος 1933 και β’ τόμος 1936). Στο πρώτο μέρος οριοθετείται το πραγματολογικό πλαίσιο μέσα στο οποίο αναδύεται το φιλελεύθερο επιχείρημα, ενώ παρουσιάζονται οι βασικές του αρχές αλλά και οι διαφορετικές του εκδοχές. Στη συνέχεια η εργασία επικεντρώνεται στις φιλελεύθερες επιδράσεις που δέχεται ο στοχασμός του Γ. Θεοτοκά, συζητώντας δοκιμιακά κείμενα που προηγούνται ή έπονται της Αργώς. Στο δεύτερο μέρος αναπτύσσονται οι διάφορες επιδράσεις του πολιτικού φιλελευθερισμού στο λογοτεχνικό κείμενο το οποίο ως μυθιστόρημα ιδεών έρχεται σε ρήξη με την ηθογραφική λογοτεχνική παράδοση. Ακολούθως η εργασία πραγματεύεται του τρόπους με τους οποίους συνυπάρχουν οι φιλελεύθερες ιδέες με τον εθνικισμό και την ελληνικότητα, ενώ διερευνάται πώς διαμεσολαβείται η κρίση των κοινοβουλευτικών θεσμών και οι αδυναμίες του πολιτικού συστήματος. Επιπλέον αντιπαραβάλλεται το κειμενικό ιστορικό πραγματικό με την ιστορικά διακριβωμένη πραγματικότητα με έμφαση στα σημεία «διόρθωσης» της ιστορίας όπου ο ιδεολογικός λόγος του κειμένου γίνεται φανερά αισθητός. Τέλος αναδεικνύεται η ιδεολογική πολυφωνία του μυθιστορήματος αλλά και o τρόπος με τον οποίο προβληματοποιούνται ζητήματα κατεξοχήν συνυφασμένα με θεσμούς του φιλελεύθερου κράτους.
description: This MA thesis examines the influence of political liberalism on the literary work of G. Theοtokas Argo (first volume 1933 and second volume 1936). The first part addresses the social and political context in which liberalism emerges, and presents the basic principles and different versions of liberalism. The paper then focuses on the liberal effects on the intellectual work of G. Theotokas, discussing essays that precede or follow Argo. The second part develops the various influences of political liberalism on the literary text which, as a novel of ideas, clashes with the literary tradition. Additionally, the paper discusses how liberal ideas coexist with nationalism and Greekness and explores how the crisis of parliamentary institutions and the weaknesses of the political system are reflected in literature. Furthermore, the textual historical reality is contrasted with the historically calibrated reality where the ideological discourse of the text becomes evident. Finally, the paper refers to the novel ideological pluralism and how issues related to the liberal state institutional framework are inscribed in the literary field.
