description: We report the first detection of flux variability in the most luminous X-ray source in the southern ring of the Cartwheel galaxy. XMM--Newton data show that the luminosity has varied over a timescale of six months from L[0.5-10] keV \~1.3 10^{41} erg/s, consistent with the previous Chandra observation, to L[0.5-10] keV < 6.4 x10^{40} erg/s. This fact provides the first evidence that the source is compact in nature and is not a collection of individual fainter sources, such as supernova remnants. The source has been repeatedly observed at the very high luminosity level of L[0.5-10] keV ~1.3 x 10^{41} erg/s, for a period of at least 4 years before dimming at the current level. It represents then the first example of an accreting object revealed in a long lived state of extremely high luminosity.

description: We report results on the ROSAT-discovered noneclipsing short-period polars RX J0154.0-5947, RX J0600.5-2709, RX J0859.1+0537, RX J0953.1+1458, and RX J1002.2-1925 collected over 30 years. We present accurate linear orbital ephemerides that allow a correct phasing of data taken decades apart. Three of the systems show cyclotron and Zeeman lines that yield magnetic field strengths of 36 MG, 19 MG, and 33 MG for the last three targets, respectively. RX J0154.0-5947, RX J0859.1+0537, and RX J1002.2-1925 show evidence for part-time accretion at both magnetic poles, while RX J0953.1+1458 is a polar with a stable one-pole geometry. RX J1002.2-1925 shows large variations in the shapes of its light curves that we associate with an unstable accretion geometry. Nevertheless, it appears to be synchronized. We determined the bolometric soft and hard X-ray fluxes and the luminosities at the Gaia distances of the five stars. Combined with estimates of the cyclotron luminosities, we derived high-state accretion rates that range from $\dot M = 2.9 \times 10^{-11}$ $M_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$ to $9.7 \times 10^{-11}$ $M_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$ for white dwarf masses between 0.61 and 0.82 $M_\odot$, in agreement with predictions based on the observed effective temperatures of white dwarfs in polars and the theory of compressional heating. Our analysis lends support to the hypothesis that different mean accretion rates appply for the subgroups of short-period polars and nonmagnetic cataclysmic variables.

description: In this paper we propose a Multi-Objective Ant Colony Optimization (MOACO) algorithm called CHAC, which has been designed to solve the problem of finding the path on a map (corresponding to a simulated battlefield) that minimizes resources while maximizing safety. CHAC has been tested with two different state transition rules: an aggregative function that combines the heuristic and pheromone information of both objectives and a second one that is based on the dominance concept of multiobjective optimization problems. These rules have been evaluated in several different situations (maps with different degree of difficulty), and we have found that they yield better results than a greedy algorithm (taken as baseline) in addition to a military behaviour that is also better in the tactical sense. The aggregative function, in general, yields better results than the one based on dominance.

description: We study the prospects of using femtoscopic low-momentum correlation measurements at the Large Hadron Collider to access properties of the J/psi-nucleon interaction. The QCD multipole expansion in terms of the J/psi chromopolarizability relates the forward scattering amplitude to a key matrix element to the origin of the nucleon mass problem, the average chromoelectric gluon distribution in the nucleon. We use information on the J/psi-nucleon interaction provided by lattice QCD simulations and phenomenological models to compute J/psi-nucleon correlation functions. The computed correlation functions show clear sensitivity to the interaction, in particular to the J/psi chromopolarizability.

description: We present chemical abundance measurements from medium resolution observations of 8 sub-damped Lyman-alpha absorber and 2 strong Lyman-limit systems at z < 1.5 observed with the MIKE spectrograph on the 6.5m Magellan II Clay telescope. These observations were taken as part of an ongoing project to determine abundances in z < 1.5 quasar absorption line systems (QSOALS) focusing on sub-DLA systems. These observations increase the sample of Zn measurements in z < 1.5 sub-DLAs by ~50%. Lines of Mg I, Mg II, Al II, Al III, Ca II, Mn II, Fe II, and Zn II were detected and column densities were determined. Zn II, a relatively undepleted element and tracer of the gas phase metallicity is detected in two of these systems, with [Zn/H]=-0.05\pm0.12 and [Zn/H]>+0.86. The latter system is however a weak system with N(H I)<18.8, and therefore may need significant ionisation corrections to the abundances. Fe II lines were detected in all systems, with an average Fe abundance of =-0.68, higher than typical Fe abundances for DLA systems at these redshifts. This high mean [Fe/H] could be due to less depletion of Fe onto dust grains, or to higher abundances in these systems. We also discuss the relative abundances in these absorbers. The systems with high metallicity show high ratios of [Mn/Fe] and [Zn/Fe], as seen previously in another sub-DLA. These higher values of [Mn/Fe] could be a result of heavy depletion of Fe onto grains, unmixed gas, or an intrinsically non-solar abundance pattern. Based on Cloudy modeling, we do not expect ionisation effects to cause this phenomenon.

description: The first generation of galaxies is expected to form in minihalos, accreting gas through ${\rm H}_2$ cooling, and possessing unique properties. Although unlikely to be directly detected in UV/infrared surveys, the radiation from these molecular-cooling galaxies (MCGs) could leave an imprint in the 21-cm signal from the Cosmic Dawn. Here we quantify their detectability with upcoming radio interferometers. We generate mock 21-cm power spectra using a model for both MCGs as well as more massive, atomic-cooling galaxies (AGCs), allowing both populations to have different properties and scaling relations. The galaxy parameters are chosen so as to be consistent with: (i) high-redshift UV luminosity functions; (ii) the upper limit on the neutral fraction from QSO spectra; (iii) the Thomson scattering optical depth to the CMB; and (iv) the timing of the recent putative EDGES detection. The latter implies a significant contribution of MCGs to the Cosmic Dawn, if confirmed to be cosmological. We then perform Bayesian inference on two models including and ignoring MCG contributions. Comparing their Bayesian evidences, we find a strong preference for the model including MCGs, despite the fact that it has more free parameters. This suggests that if MCGs indeed play a significant role in the Cosmic Dawn, it should be possible to infer their properties from upcoming 21-cm power spectra. Our study illustrates how these observations can discriminate among uncertain galaxy formation models with varying complexities, by maximizing the Bayesian evidence.

description: Η παρούσα έρευνα έχει ως αντικείμενο τη διερεύνηση της λειτουργικότητας του μοντέλου διδασκαλίας της γλώσσας του Ira Shor στους ενήλικες μετανάστες μαθητές του σχολείου «Οδυσσέας». Υιοθετήσαμε το μεθοδολογικό πλαίσιο της ενδυναμωτικής και κριτικής παιδαγωγικής, όπως αυτό περιγράφεται και τεκμηριώνεται από το Shor. Υπό το πρίσμα της ενδυναμωτικής παιδαγωγικής, η μάθηση είναι ένα ευρύτερο κοινωνικό πρόβλημα και όχι ένα στενό παιδαγωγικό και προσωπικό θέμα, όπως αντιμετωπίζεται στην παραδοσιακή εκπαίδευση. Κεντρικός άξονας της ερευνητική παρέμβασης ήταν η βελτίωση της ανάγνωσης και της γραφής των ενηλίκων μεταναστών μαθητών, καθώς και η ανάπτυξη κριτικής συνειδητοποίησης τους πάνω σε οικονομικά, πολιτικά και κοινωνικά θέματα της ευρύτερης πραγματικότητας μέσω μιας διαλογικής και κριτικής διαδικασίας. Τα συμπεράσματα που προέκυψαν έδειξαν ότι οι μετανάστες μαθητές ανέδειξαν και ανέλυσαν σημαντικά κοινωνικά προβλήματα. Μετασχημάτισαν τις απόψεις τους και ανέπτυξαν κριτική συνειδητοποίηση για σύγχρονα κοινωνικά, ιστορικά και πολιτισμικά προβλήματα. Προοδευτικά ανέπτυξαν δεξιότητες ανάγνωσης, γραφής και επίσης ανέπτυξαν δημοκρατικές και συνεργατικές σχέσεις.
description: The objective of this study is the exploration of the functionality that Ira Shor’s teaching model of language has to the adult immigrant students of the “Odysseas” school. We adopted the methodological framework of empowering and critical pedagogy as described and ratified by Shor. Under the perspective of empowering education, literacy constitutes a broader social issue and not a strictly pedagogical and personal one as faced into traditional education. Central axis of the research intervention is the improvement of the reading and writing skills of the adult immigrant students, as well as the development of critical consciousness over economical, political, and social issues of the broader reality through dialogue and critical procedure. The conclusions illustrated that the immigrant students displayed and analysed important social issues. They transformed their views and developed a critical consciousness for contemporary social, historical and cultural issues. They progressively developed reading and writing skills as well as democratic and cooperative relationships.

description: A meson-exchange piN model, previously constructed using three-dimensional reduction scheme of the Bethe-Salpeter equation for a model Lagrangian involving π, η, N, Δ, rho, and σfields, is extended to energies up to 2 GeV by including the ηN channel and all the four stars πN resonances up to the F-waves. The effects of other 2 pion channels are taken into account phenomenologically. The extended model gives an excellent fit to both piN phase shifts and inelasticity parameters in all channels up to the F-waves. However, a few of the extracted resonance parameters differ considerably from the PDG values.

Service migration in a gigabit network

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Migrating services to the network adaptor makes use of the idle processing power in the adaptor that would otherwise be wasted if it was just used for sending and receiving messages. In addition, by moving some functionality to the network adaptor, decisions can be made without involving the host. This would prevent unnecessary memory copies, I/O traversals, interruptions of the host and the associated context switches. Thus the host can use its processing power, without interruption, for more useful work. The Emu system has made possible the complete implementation of the Emerald interpreter on the network processor. The choice of an object oriented distributed interpreter makes the applications that run on the system more modular and compact because the language takes care of all the gory details. Emu has introduced runtime extension of the functionalities on the network processor and an approach for utilizing idle network processing power. However, intelligent delegation of processing to the network processor is required, because the network processor is slower than the central processor. Communication-intensive applications which require low latency and high throughput would benefit from the interpreter on the network adaptor in the Emu system. Emu has paved the way for other similar systems to be built. It has demonstrated that it is possible to take full advantage of the programmable NIC to increase system throughput. It has shown that with intelligent choice of applications, idle network processing power can be utilized without sacrificing performance.

description: We relate a large class of classical spin models, including the inhomogeneous Ising, Potts, and clock models of q-state spins on arbitrary graphs, to problems in quantum physics. More precisely, we show how to express partition functions as inner products between certain quantum stabilizer states and product states. This connection allows us to use powerful techniques developed in quantum information theory, such as the stabilizer formalism and classical simulation techniques, to gain general insights into these models in a unified way. We recover and generalize several symmetries and high-low temperature dualities, and we provide an efficient classical evaluation of partition functions for all interaction graphs with a bounded tree-width.

description: Ionic microgel particles are intriguing systems in which the properties of thermo-responsive polymeric colloids are enriched by the presence of charged groups. In order to rationalize their properties and predict the behaviour of microgel suspensions, it is necessary to develop a coarse-graining strategy that starts from the accurate modelling of single particles. Here, we provide a numerical advancement of a recently-introduced model for charged co-polymerized microgels by improving the treatment of ionic groups in the polymer network. We investigate the thermoresponsive properties of the particles, in particular their swelling behaviour and structure, finding that, when charged groups are considered to be hydrophilic at all temperatures, highly charged microgels do not achieve a fully collapsed state, in favorable comparison to experiments. In addition, we explicitly include the solvent in the description and put forward a mapping between the solvophobic potential in the absence of the solvent and the monomer-solvent interactions in its presence, which is found to work very accurately for any charge fraction of the microgel. Our work paves the way for comparing single-particle properties and swelling behaviour of ionic microgels to experiments and to tackle the study of these charged soft particles at a liquid-liquid interface.

description: The issue of this study, which entitled “The Transcendental Dialectic of Kant” is concerned with Kant's criticism of the earlier Metaphysics, which is stronger in his work “Criticism of Pure Reason”, where the basic question is, how is possible an a priori knowledge. The first part deals with the Pure reason, which is the cause of the transcendental deception and particularly with his reasonings and his notions, as well as with the notion of the infinite. In the second part, the criticism of Metaphysics is analyzed especially and particularly the Kant's criticism of the rational Psychology, Cosmology and Theology. Finally, the study comes to a lot of conclusions, but the most important is this one, which supports that the Transcendental Dialectic should refute the transcendental surface, where the pure reason is led.

description: Principal manifolds are defined as lines or surfaces passing through ``the middle'' of data distribution. Linear principal manifolds (Principal Components Analysis) are routinely used for dimension reduction, noise filtering and data visualization. Recently, methods for constructing non-linear principal manifolds were proposed, including our elastic maps approach which is based on a physical analogy with elastic membranes. We have developed a general geometric framework for constructing ``principal objects'' of various dimensions and topologies with the simplest quadratic form of the smoothness penalty which allows very effective parallel implementations. Our approach is implemented in three programming languages (C++, Java and Delphi) with two graphical user interfaces (VidaExpert http://bioinfo.curie.fr/projects/vidaexpert and ViMiDa http://bioinfo-out.curie.fr/projects/vimida applications). In this paper we overview the method of elastic maps and present in detail one of its major applications: the visualization of microarray data in bioinformatics. We show that the method of elastic maps outperforms linear PCA in terms of data approximation, representation of between-point distance structure, preservation of local point neighborhood and representing point classes in low-dimensional spaces.

description: We present final Spitzer trigonometric parallaxes for 361 L, T, and Y dwarfs. We combine these with prior studies to build a list of 525 known L, T, and Y dwarfs within 20 pc of the Sun, 38 of which are presented here for the first time. Using published photometry and spectroscopy as well as our own follow-up, we present an array of color-magnitude and color-color diagrams to further characterize census members, and we provide polynomial fits to the bulk trends. Using these characterizations, we assign each object a $T_{\rm eff}$ value and judge sample completeness over bins of $T_{\rm eff}$ and spectral type. Except for types $\ge$ T8 and $T_{\rm eff}

The thermodynamics of general anesthesia

description: It is known that the action of general anesthetics is proportional to their partition coefficient in lipid membranes (Meyer-Overton rule). This solubility is, however, directly related to the depression of the temperature of the melting transition found close to body temperature in biomembranes. We propose a thermodynamic extension of the Meyer-Overton rule which is based on free energy changes in the system and thus automatically incorporates the effects of melting point depression. This model provides a quantitative explanation of the pressure reversal of anesthesia. Further, it explains why inflammation and the addition of divalent cations reduce the effectiveness of anesthesia.

England’s heritage in the post-truth era: emotion, affect and the appropriation of the past in social and political discourse
Creators: name: Judges, Gregory
Publisher: name: Leeds Beckett University
Year: 2024

description: This thesis builds on critical heritage research into the emotions of heritage. Where existing studies show that a visit to a heritage site can be an affective experience, this thesis asks whether the affective practices exhibited at heritage sites can be linked to social and political discourse in England. With this discourse increasingly dominated by emotional truth – what has come to be termed post-truth – it argues that the heritage industry must understand the impact it has on the world beyond its gates.

To analyse this impact, a large-scale data collection exercise was undertaken using the review aggregate site Tripadvisor. This generated 28,000 data points from twenty-eight heritage sites of different kinds. The thesis uses a quantitative and qualitative analysis of this data to scaffold a wide theoretical discussion on perceptions of the past in England.

This exploration establishes a theory I term ‘the living past’: a conjuncture of the past and present established through personal emotional connections to the past. The thesis then develops the emotional living past to demonstrate how it has given rise to homogenous national pasts in the form of ‘the imagined past’, ‘the equitable past’, ‘the dissonant past’ and ‘the consumable past’. These emotionally held, nationally developed pasts marry with the social and political discourse we find in England’s post-truth debates.

This thesis offers a new way of collecting and working with data in heritage studies. By developing theories on the living past and the aforementioned national pasts, it also contributes to critical heritage understandings of emotions within the heritage environment. Most importantly, it demonstrates the link between England’s heritage industry and post-truth social and political discourses – before suggesting ways to break this connection.

Atomic forces from Dirac-Kohn-Sham equations: Implementation in flexible (APW+lo/LAPW)+LO basis set
Creators: name: Kutepov, Andrey L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Atomic forces formulation based on the Dirac-Kohn-Sham equation and flexible (APW+lo/LAPW)+LO basis set is presented. The formulation was implemented in the code FlapwMBPT and allows a user to easily switch between different basis functions of the augmentation type (APW or LAPW) and between different kind of local orbitals. Similar to the work (Phys.Rev.B 91 (2015) 035105), the implementation takes into account small discontinuities of the wave functions, density, and potential at the muffin-tin sphere boundaries. Applications to the materials with strong relativistic effects, such as $α$-Uranium, PuCoGa$_{5}$, and FePt, demonstrate robustness of the method. Comparison of the calculated forces with the ones obtained by numerical differentiation of the free energy shows close agreement with deviations about 0.1\% or less.

description: Noumea, with a population of almost 30,000, is the chief town in New Caledonia; it stands on a small peninsula which runs some 9 or 10 kilometres southwards from the mainland, and which ends in the 130 metre high Quen Toro. It is an irregular peninsula, with a very broken coastline, a number of off-shore islands, and pronounced relief. It comprises two main geological formations; in the northern and southern ends of the peninsula itself are beds of phtanite and calcareous rocks of the lower Eocene, interspersed in the north and on the Ile N'Gea to the east with some of the Jurassic coal measures. In between these two occurrences lies a belt of upper Eocene flysch and brecchia, which crosses the middle of the Presqu'ile Ducos, and takes in the area from Montravel and the Vallee du Tir over to Magenta. After the emergence of New Caledonia in the Oligocene, and after a further period of uplift, fairly intense dissection took place, followed by a partial submersion. This is a well-attested movement around the coasts of New Caledonia, and the Noumea region it is responsible for the indented configuration, and for the nearby islands. More recently a small amount of emergence has taken place, exposing a number of alluvial and beach deposits, especially near Anse Vata and Baie des Citrons in the south, and Magenta in the east.
The Tully-Fisher relation: evolution with redshift and environment

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The Tully-Fisher Relation (TFR) links two fundamental properties of disk galaxies: their luminosity and their rotation velocity (mass). The pioneering work of Vogt et al. in the 1990's showed that it is possible to study the TFR for spiral galaxies at considerable look-back-times, and use it as a powerful probe of their evolution. In recent years, several groups have studied the TFR for galaxies in different environments reaching redshifts beyond one. In this brief review I summarise the main results of some of these studies and their consequences for our understanding of the formation and evolution of disk galaxies. Particular emphasis is placed on the possible environment-driven differences in the behaviour of the TFR for field and cluster galaxies.

description: This paper describes the development needed to support the functional and teaching requirements of iRead, a 4-year EU-funded project which produced an award-winning serious game utilising lexical and syntactical game content. The main functional requirement was that the game should retain different profiles for each student, encapsulating both the respective language model (which language features should be taught/used in the game first, before moving on to more advanced ones) and the user model (mastery level for each feature, as reported by the student's performance in the game). In addition to this, researchers and stakeholders stated additional requirements related to learning objectives and strategies to make the game more interesting and successful; these were implemented as a set of selection rules which take into account not only the mastery level for each feature, but also respect the priorities set by teachers, helping avoid repetition of content and features, and maintaining a balance between new content and revision of already mastered features to give students the sense of progress, while also reinforcing learning.

Σε αυτήν την περίπτωση τα ένδικα βοηθήματα της προσφυγής ακύρωσης, της προσφυγής για παράλειψη, της αγωγής για την εξωσυμβατική ευθύνη της Κοινότητας και της προδικαστικής παραπομπής έχουν αποδειχθεί ακατάλληλα για την προστασία του συλλογικού αγαθού του περιβάλλοντος, λόγω των προϋποθέσεων που θέτει η νομοθεσία και η νομολογία του ΔΕΚ. Όμως, πολύ σημαντικές εξελίξεις, χάρη στις οποίες αποκτούν υπό προϋποθέσεις locus standi οι ιδιώτες, αποτελούν αφενός η τροποποίηση που επιφέρει η Συνθήκη της Λισαβόνας στο άρθρο 230 εδ. δ περ. β ΣΕΚ και αφετέρου ο Κανονισμός του Άαρχους.Όταν οι ιδιώτες επιθυμούν να προσφύγουν ενώπιον των εθνικών δικαστηρίων κατά ενός κράτους μέλους, επειδή θεωρούν ότι παραβιάζει το κοινοτικό περιβαλλοντικό δίκαιο, μπορούν να επωφεληθούν τόσο από τις κλασικές θεωρίες που έχει αναπτύξει το ΔΕΚ όσο και από κάποιες ριζοσπαστικές αποφάσεις του που εκδόθηκαν σε περιβαλλοντικού ενδιαφέροντος υποθέσεις ειδικά.Αποδεικνύεται από όλα αυτά πόσο σημαντικός είναι ο ρόλος των ιδιωτών ως θεματοφυλάκων του κοινοτικού περιβαλλοντικού δικαίου.
description: Private applicants may wish to institute proceedings against the EC presuming that its actions contravene the EC environmental law, the ECJ and the CFI being the appropriate fora. In that case the action for annulment, the action against a failure to act, the action for the Community’s non-contractual liability and the preliminary ruling have proven to be unsuitable, because of their conditions set by the legislation and the ECJ’s case-law. Very important improvements, however, take place because of the modification of the art. 230 par. 4b TEC under the Lisbon Treaty and because of the Aarhus Regulation. In fact according to these changes, private persons acquire locus standi under specific conditions.Private applicants may wish to institute proceedings against a member state presuming that its actions contravene the EC environmental law, national courts being the appropriate fora. In that case they will find a lot of help in the classical theories invented by the ECJ as well as in radical decisions which the ECJ took exactly in environmental interest cases.It is proven from all these that the role of the private applicants as guardians of the EC environmental law is very important.
Kant on Rational Faith and Hope
Creators: name: Yuen, Michael
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2022

description: This study concerns Kant's account of the nature and norms of Belief (or faith - Glaube) and hope (Hoffnung). It aims to better understand the non-moral aspects of this account by drawing on his account of propositional attitudes. I argue that Kantian Belief is constitutive of, and thus necessary for, pursuing ideal moral and non-moral ends, while hope is psychologically necessary for maintaining our resolve in these pursuits, for most of us, most of the time. My interpretation extracts a plausible non-metaphysical example of doctrinal (or theoretical) Belief from Kant's writings, explains the general principles that underwrite the necessity of Belief and hope for pursuing certain ends, and explains the relationship between Belief and hope. Appreciating the non-moral aspects of Kantian Belief and hope involves embracing a theory of Kant's practical attitudes larger in scope than commentators have traditionally allowed. The result, however, is a rational account of our propositional attitudes, which more accurately captures the full range of our experience as ambitious, end-directed agents.

description: It is known that the dynamics of two (Coulomb-interacting) nonrelativistic electrons confined by a parabolic potential and driven by a classical, intense laser field (in dipole approximation) is exactly soluble. We calculate the time-dependent population of the harmonic oscillator states and the energy absorbed from the laser. It turns out that the key entity on which all observables sensitively depends is the modulus square of the Fourier-transformed vector potential of the laser field, evaluated at the harmonic oscillator frequency. The system is transparent to laser field configurations for which this entity vanishes. We discuss the Poisson statistics behavior of the transition probabilities and analyze the conditions for the complete survival and full depletion of the initial state.

description: Ο αδύναμος κατά χαρακτήρα και πνευματική ζωή άνθρωπος είναι στην πραγματικότητα ένας άνθρωπος πάσχων και ασθενής που έχει ανάγκη κατανοήσεως, συμπάθειας και συμπαράστασης. Ο αυστηρός, αυταρχικός και άκαμπτος παιδαγωγός σε καμμιά περίπτωση δεν μπορεί να αγγίξει την ψυχή των αδύναμων μαθητών. Ο θυμός σκοτίζει τη διάνοιά του και η συνεργασία μαζί τους είναι αδόκιμη. Η επιείκεια με την έννοια της χριστιανικής αρετής, όπως προβάλλεται από τους Ι. συγγραφείς με τις προϋποθέσεις της εγκράτειας, της υπομονής, της μακροθυμίας, της πραότητας της συγχώρεσης και της διάκρισης είναι αποτέλεσμα μιας βαθειάς συγκροτημένης σκέψης και φυσική εκδήλωση της αγάπης. Η επιείκεια δίνει μια προσωποκεντρική ώθηση στη σύγχρονη παιδαγωγική, που αισιοδοξεί πως με την κατανόηση, την αποδοχή και την κατάλληλη συναισθηματική ατμόσφαιρα θα βελτιώσει την ποιότητα των σχέσεων στο σχολείο και θα περιορίσει την εμφάνιση των ανεπιθύμητων συμπεριφορών.
description: Person with weak character and weak spiritual life is in fact a seek person who needs understanding, sympathy and support. The authoritarian, strict and uncompromising pedagogue can't touch the soul of weak students because anger bothers the mind and co-operation whith students becomes unproved. Clemency with the meaning of christian attribute (holy writters) with precondition of self control, patience, toleration, gentless, forbearance, distinction, is the result of a deep philosophical thought and physical expression of love. Clemency gives a personal-centered impulse to contemporary education which hopes that understanding, acceptance and suitable emotional atmosphere will improve the quality of relation in school and will install undesirable behaviours.
