Twenty years of Media and Communications at LSE: an interview with Professor Myria Georgiou
No full textLSE’s Department of Media and Communications celebrates its 20th anniversary in 2023, and recently marked the occasion with the Media Futures Conference held in June. To celebrate the Department’s contribution to media and communications research and teaching over the last 20 years, we are publishing a series of reflections from faculty. Here, current MSc student Anandita Malhotra interviews Professor Myria Georgiou, a researcher specialising in media, migration and urbanisation, about how the field has evolved over the last two decades
A study of universal elements in classes of bases of topological spaces
No full textsummary:The universality problem focuses on finding universal spaces in classes of topological spaces. Moreover, in ``Universal spaces and mappings'' by S. D. Iliadis (2005), an important method of constructing such universal elements in classes of spaces is introduced and explained in details. Simultaneously, in ``A topological dimension greater than or equal to the classical covering dimension'' by D. N. Georgiou, A. C. Megaritis and F. Sereti (2017), new topological dimension is introduced and studied, which is called quasi covering dimension and is denoted by . In this paper, we define the base dimension-like function of the type dim, denoted by {b} - {dim}, and study the property of universality for this function. Especially, based on the method of ``Universal spaces and mappings'' by S. D. Iliadis (2005), we prove that in classes of bases which are determined by {b} - {dim} there exist universal elements
How the language we speak determines the transmission of COVID-19
No full textBackground: Little body of research has focused on the epidemic transmissibility and language interface. Aims: In this paper, we aim to investigate whether (i) the feature of aspiration found in the phonological inventory of several languages and (ii) the frequency of occurrence of stop consonants are associated with the transmission of COVID-19 among humans. Methods: The study’s protocol was based on a corpus of countries infected by COVID-19 and of which the linguistic repertoire includes a widely spoken language in individuals’ everyday communication. We tested whether languages with and without aspiration differ in terms of COVID-19 reproduction number, and whether the frequency of occurrence of stop consonants in several languages correlates with the virus reproduction number. Results: The results demonstrated no significant effect of aspiration on the transmission of the virus, while a positive correlation between the frequency of occurrence and transmissibility was observed only for the consonant /p/; this might suggest that languages that use /p/ more frequently might spread the virus more easily. Conclusions: The findings of this study can offer a tentative picture of how speaking specific sounds can be associated with COVID-19 transmissibility. © 2021, Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland
On fuzzy theta-convergences
No full textIn this paper we introduce and study the notions of fuzzy theta -convergence and weakly theta -convergence on a fuzzy topological space. These notions can be considered as generalizations of the convergence defined in Georgiou and Papadopoulos (1998). Also the forementioned theta -convergence does not coincide with the one defined in Chen and Chenn (1997). The importance of these convergences relies on the fact that they behave equally well as the convergence defined in Georgiou and Papadopoulos (1998). (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.
