Filimon Fasola, Magdalena (2006) Könssegregerat eller könsintegrerat grupparbete? (Gender segregated or gender integrated workgroups?) Malmö: Lärarutbildnnigen
Syftet med examensarbetet var att undersöka vilken inställning till arbetet i könsintegrerade respektive könssegregerade grupper eleverna har i de klasser jag undervisade i under min vft. Undersökningen gjordes i två klasser, en sjua och en åtta. Arbetet avgränsades av tre frågeställningar:
• Vilken inställning har eleverna till arbetet i könsintegrerade respektive könssegregerade grupper?
• Har vanan att umgås med det motsatta könet utanför skolan någon betydelse för hur eleverna ser på arbetet i könsintegrerade respektive könssegregerade grupper?
• Har gruppsammansättningen någon betydelse för hur eleverna arbetar?
Arbetet grundar sig på litteraturstudier och en kvantitativ undersökning som består av en enkät.
Min slutsats är att både pojkarna och flickorna i undersökningen föredrar könsintegrerade grupper.
Nyckelord: Genus, grupparbete, könsintegration, könssegregation

Filimon Fasola, Magdalena (2006) Gender segregated or gender integrated workgroups?
The aim with the essay was to investigate what is the attitude that pupils in the classes I was teacher to during my practice have regarding gender integrated respective gender segregated workgroups. The investigation was made in two classes, a seventh and an eight. The study was limited by three questions:
• What is the attitude that pupils have regarding gender integrated respective gender segregated workgroups?
• Does the habit to spend time with the opposite sex outside the school have any significance for how the pupils perceive gender integrated respective gender segregated workgroups?
• Does the group’s assembly have any significance for how pupils work?
The work is based on studies of literature and a quantitative investigation which consists of a questionnaire.
My conclusion is that both boys and girls who took part in the investigation prefer gender integrated workgroups.
Key words: gender, gender integration, gender segregation, workgroups.

Divide, conquer, entertain: film melodrama and authoritarianism in Europe
No full textThis dissertation examines the role played by the popular film melodrama of interiority in the dissemination and normalization of authoritarian ideology regarding the private and intimate spheres in France under the German Occupation (1940-1944), Spain under Francisco Franco in the 1950s (1951-1961), and Romania under Nicolae Ceauşescu in the late 1960s (1965-1971). Two major theoretical concepts, strongly connected with each other, structure my analysis: the intimate sphere, which I define as the space of discourse created among the closest emotional and psychological groupings of family and friends; and the melodrama of interiority, which I describe as one of the two major tendencies of the melodramatic mode centering on the conflicts within the intimate sphere. This theoretical aspect is doubled by a historical grounding of my dissertation in the social, economic, and political context of each country, with a specific focus on the organization and transformation of the three chosen cinema industries. Each authoritarian state sought to eliminate or control private groups and associations, and to reorganize intimate publics following a conservative, patriarchal model that emulated the relationship between the state and its citizens. Films were produced, distributed, and exhibited with the full knowledge of authorities. My analysis of the most popular melodramas of interiority in each country—L’éternel retour (The Eternal Return, 1943) in France, El último cuplé (The Last Torch Song, 1957) in Spain, and Dacii (The Warriors, 1967) in Romania—suggests that their commercial success relied on the well-organized system of production and promotion that supported them and on their melodramatic characteristics; these films contributed to the ―naturalization of state ideology regarding the intimate sphere. Through such texts, authoritarian regimes sought to seduce and conquer their publics.Ph. D.Includes bibliographical referencesby Monica Elena Filimo
Sailing the Wind: Evaluating the Impact of COMA on Multi-Agent Active Wake Control in Wind Farms: What is the effect of COMA on the problem of AWC compared to single-agent RL algorithms?
No full textThe close proximity of wind turbines to one another in a wind farm can lead to inefficiency in terms of power production due to wake effects. One technique to mitigate the losses is to veer from their individual optimal direction. As such, the wakes can be steered away from downstream turbines in order to increase the overall power output. Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) models the interactions between wind turbines and determines an optimal control strategy through agents that learn the collective consequences of their actions. Toanalyse the benefit of multi-agent cooperation and centralised critic evaluation, I investigated the effect of Counterfactual Multi-Agent Policy Gradients (COMA) on Active Wake Control. Ultimately, experiments on wind farms of three and sixteen turbines indicate that the algorithm performs moderately, yet worse than single-agent Reinforcement Learning. In addition, high computation costs hinder its application on real-life environments.CSE3000 Research ProjectComputer Science and Engineerin

No full textΟι απαρχές της θεωρίας του ελληνικού φασισμού
No full textBased on Griffin’s assumption that fascism is “a palingenetic form of populist ultranationalism”, we critically study a series of theoretical essays published mainly in the pro Metaxas dictatorship journal To Neon Kratos (1937–1941) by a group of young and aspiring law professors. In particular, we focus on the work of D. S. Vezanis, E. G. Kyriacopoulos, G. Mantzoufas, and N. D. Koumaros, who all took great pains at offering ideological support to the above mentioned regime. We maintain that the poorly argued and incomplete but unquestionably collectivist, anti-liberal and anti-democratic theory that emerges from their writings not only can be correctly characterized as fascist in Griffin’s terms but it also condones – by giving absolute normative priority to the interests of the nation-state as conceived by autarchic rulers – all the atrocities perpetrated by the Axis during War World II. In our view, this group of intellectuals is mainly responsible for laying the theoretical foundations of Greek fascism
Fluid Structure Interaction at the ARIANE-5 Nozzle section by Advanced Turbulence Models
No full textSubstantial requirements for future rocket technologies are the cost-efficient access to orbit as well as the increase in the system reliability. Concerning these requirements a deeper insight into the unsteady phenomena during the start phase of modern launchers is essential. Especially unsteady side-loads, induced by the interaction of flow separation inside the nozzle, the launcher wake and the nozzle structure will play an important role for the design of future main stage propulsion systems. This so called buffeting coupling phenomenon is one of the main challenges during ascent. For the Ariane-5 configuration unsteady Detached Eddy Simulations were carried out under transonic wind tunnel conditions and validated with experimental data. For this configuration also a first coupled simulation of the flow field and the original nozzle structure of an Ariane-5 wind tunnel model is carried out to investigate resonances and loads on the nozzle
Evaluarea conținutului de acid clorogenic şi total fenolic din boabele uscate de cafea verde (Coffea canephora)
No full textChlorogenic acids are a group of cinnamic acid derivatives with
biological effects mostly related to their antioxidant and antiinflammatory
activities. This paper aims to determine the chlorogenic acid (CGA) and total
phenolic (TP) concentration in various solvent extracts of green coffee beans
(Coffea canephora syn. Coffea robusta). Also, the influence of brewing time
(water at 90 °C) on the extraction of CGA was analyzed. 70% methanol and
70% 2-propanol were the most effective solvents in extraction of CGA from
dried grinded green coffee beans of C. canephora (34.80±0.21 mg CQAE/g d.w.
and 31.20±0.32 mg CQAE/g d.w., respectively). The most important CGA
concentration was registered after 10 to 15 minute of coffee brewing
(38.20±0.24 mg CQAE/g d.w.), when CGA represents approximately 45% of
total phenolic compounds. Data obtained are useful both for experts from the
food (functional food) and pharmaceutical industry, and also for traders and
consumers

Studii privind corelaţia dintre activitatea polifenoloxidazei şi conţinutul fenolic total al unor soiuri autohtone de struguri de masă
No full textLa modification indésirable de la couleur, de la saveur et de la texture du raisin est associée aux enzyme polyphénoloxydase (PPO). Il est donc important de contrôler leur effet et d'établir leurs caractéristiques associées aux fruits. Raisins (peau, pulpe et pepines) de dix cépages roumains pour raisins de table (Splendid, Cetăţuia, Milcov, Transilvania, Someşan, Napoca, Gelu, Coarnă neagră selecţionată, Purpuriu et Radames), ont été analysés pour déterminer l’activité de la PPO, la teneur encomposés phénoliques totaux (flavonoïdes et non-flavonoïdes) et en anthocyanes. La teneur totale en composés phénoliques était plus élevée dans les pepins, allant de 4,36 à 5,35 g équivalent acide gallique/100 g poids frais, dont les flavonoïdes se situaient entre 65 et 88%. L'activité PPO plus élevée a été déterminée dans l’extrait de raisin de la cépage Radames (7,91 U/g/min), tandis que la teneur en anthocyanes totales était plus importante dans les raisins de la cépage Napoca (343,86 mg équivalent cyanidine-3-glucoside/100 g poids frais).Des corrélations négatives plus fortes ont été trouvées entre l’activité PPO et le contenu en anthocyanes (r = -0,9180), ainsi qu’entre l’activité PPO et le contenu phénolique total des peaux de raisin (r = -0,9266)et de la pulpe de raisin (r = -0,9397), suggérant l’effet négative de l'enzyme sur cette classe de composés
