Cet article décrit la reconstruction par greffe osseuse, autotransplantation et traitement orthodontique effectuée sur une patiente ayant perdu l’ensemble du secteur alvéolaire antérieur à la suite d’un accident de voiture. Du fait de la perte des six dents antérieures maxillaires et de l’os alvéolaire attenant, cette patiente présentait un décalage de classe III squelettique sévère. Une greffe osseuse au niveau du secteur alvéolaire détruit puis l’autotransplantation des premières prémolaires mandibulaires a permis de restaurer l’occlusion et le profil. À la fin du traitement orthodontique, les prémolaires transplantées ont été recontourées puis restaurées en incisives centrales à l’aide de composite. Une bonne occlusion et une amélioration esthétique ont ainsi été obtenues. Le traitement orthodontique démontre son utilité dans le cadre d’une reconstruction occlusale post-traumatique; l’autotransplantation est une option particulièrement adaptée pour ces patients.

Introduction : Le but de cet article est de montrer l’intérêt de l’utilisation de la technique de déplacements dentaires accélérés par corticotomie dans le cas de patients présentant une occlusion de classe III, avec une crête alvéolaire fine, allant bénéficier d’une chirurgie orthognathique. Méthode : Nous avons sélectionné deux patients adultes pour lesquels la malocclusion de classe III devait être décompensée avant chirurgie de recul mandibulaire. La première patiente a été traitée par déplacement dentaire accéléré par corticotomie et technique de décompensation orthodontique classique, la seconde patiente par déplacement dentaire accéléré par corticotomie et décompensation orthodontique à l’aide d’ancrage squelettique temporaire en association avec une membrane de régénération tissulaire guidée. Une décortication alvéolaire sélective est effectuée à l’aide d’une fraise ronde à vitesse lente et une piézochirurgie au niveau du groupe incisivo-canin mandibulaire. Après hémostase, un greffon osseux est placé sur la zone de décortication. Au niveau de la crête alvéolaire extrêmement fine, un système rigide est mis en place pour immobiliser le greffon. Les forces orthodontiques sont appliquées dès la cicatrisation du lambeau, pour initier le déplacement dentaire accéléré. Résultats : Dans les deux cas, le déplacement dentaire accéléré a été initié et a permis de déplacer les dents du secteur incisivo-canin mandibulaire dans la position requise pour la chirurgie orthognathique. Avec l’imagerie préopératoire en 3D, on peut noter des déhiscences alvéolaires au niveau de la face antérieure des dents symphysaires. L’imagerie postopératoire montre une couverture radio-opaque des racines dénudées. Conclusion : La technique de déplacements dentaires accélérés par corticotomie est une méthode sûre et efficace pour permettre la décompensation alvéolaire pré-chirurgicale au niveau des dents symphysaires de ces patients. La combinaison de cette technique avec l’utilisation d’ancrage squelettique temporaire et de greffe osseuse facilite le déplacement dentaire dans des cas de dentures sévèrement altérées.

Debris dents produced by solid particles in suspension in oil or grease when they travel through an EHL contact may be at the origin of rolling bearing failures. A summary of an experimental investigation carried out to identify (i) the particle entry ratio, (ii) the mechanisms of particle fragmentation or deformation, (iii) the resulting indentation features, and (iv) the initiation site of subsequent surface damage is presented first. Afterwards, numerical simulations of a dent moving through an EHL contact are performed. A critical slide-to-roll ratio is found. Results of our numerical simulations are analyzed and discussed in relation to the concept of infinite life for rolling bearing applications. [S0742-4787(00)00901-2]

Full textAbstract:
Lobesia botrana (Denis and Schiffermueller) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is known to enter a facultative autumnohibernal diapause-mediated dormancy in the pupal stage, when the embryonic and early larval stages are exposed to short-day photo-periods. Yet, in a laboratory stock originating from northern Greece and reared for years on an artificial larval diet, dormancy occurred also under a long-day photo-period. When the eggs were incubated at 30oC in the dark or at 26 oC under the natural daylength of August in northern Greece, and the larvae grew at L:D 16:8 and 25-26 oC, but not 20 oC, a substantial percentage of the pupae entered dormancy. This dormancy seems to be diapause-mediated. It is not known whether it is a typical summer diapause.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The probability of a partial or complete break-up of the euro has risen over the last years. Such an event could create a balance sheet problem for economic agents, if the redenomination process introduced significant currency mismatches between the asset and liability sides. We propose a new assessment of this redenomination risk, by country and by main institutional sector, for two scenarios: a single country exit and a complete break-up. Our main conclusion is that, even though the problem has to be taken seriously, its order of magnitude should not be exaggerated. Only a few sectors are at significant risk: public debts of Greece and Portugal, financial sectors of Greece, Ireland and Luxembourg. In particular, the balance sheet exposure of the non-financial private sector to the redenomination risk appears to be limited.

Full textAbstract:
Automated assessment of car damage is a major challenge in the auto repair and damage assessment industries. The domain has several application areas, ranging from car assessment companies, such as car rentals and body shops, to accidental damage assessment for car insurance companies. In vehicle assessment, the damage can take many forms, from scratches, minor dents, and major dents to missing parts. Often, the assessment area has a significant level of noise, such as dirt, grease, oil, or rush, which makes accurate identification challenging. Moreover, in the repair industry, identifying a particular part is the first step in obtaining an accurate labor and part assessment, where the presence of different car models, shapes, and sizes makes the task even more challenging for a machine-learning model to perform well. To address these challenges, this study explores and applies various instance segmentation methodologies to determine the best-performing models. This study focuses on two genres of real-time instance segmentation models, namely, SipMask and YOLACT, owing to their industrial significance. These methodologies were evaluated against a previously reported car parts dataset (DSMLR) as well as an internally curated dataset extracted from local car repair workshops. The YOLACT-based part localization and segmentation method outperformed other real-time instance mechanisms with an mAP of 66.5. For the workshop repair dataset, SipMask++ reported better accuracy for object detection with a mAP of 57.0, with outcomes for A P I o U = . 50 and A P I o U = . 75 reporting 72.0 and 67.0, respectively, whereas YOLACT was observed to be a better performer for A P s with 44.0 and 2.6 for object detection and segmentation categories, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
The generally accepted date (377/6) of the earliest Athenian naval inventory of the fourth century B.C., IG II21604, rests upon an unsafe restoration and several improbable assumptions. The fact that a Secretary 377/6 is named as trierarch on 1604 casts severe doubt on the accepted date. Indeed, the small number of allotted triremes on 1604 strongly suggests a date before the outbreak of war in 378. The record on 1604 of an Athenian trireme borrowed by the Chian Antimachos, which is easily associated with the negotiations at the very foundation of the Athenian Confederacy, seems to date 1604 to 379/8. Thus it is unlikely that the new series of inventories began only in 378/7 as a consequence of that foundation; the absence from the Navy Lists of outstanding debts datable before 378/7 indicates perhaps a successful collection of naval debts in that year. The existence of a substantial number of newly constructed triremes on 1604 discredits the view that the Peace of 387/6 banned all naval activity in Greece. New readings on Tod 117 demonstrate that Athens continued to deploy ships during the Peace. Its terms, which were not particularly harsh on Athens, more closely resembled those rejected in 392, which did allow trireme-building, than those of 371 and later. Anyhow these laterKoinai Eirenai, like the Peace of Antalcidas, prohibited, not all military activity, but only warfare among the signatory states.

Full textAbstract:
The Political-Budget Cycle in Countries of the European Union We empirically estimate the political-budget cycle in the member countries of the European Union in period of 1988-2008. We indirectly analyze the potential of these countries to deal with increasing public debts which were augmented by the global economic crisis. The selection of the EU countries depends on three characteristics of democracy - shared power, openness and adaptability. The openness of democracy is the most important characteristics in relation to effective behavior of governments. We suppose that governments are motivated to make electoral manipulation in countries which have lower level of openness. We choose Finland, the Netherlands, Austria, Estonia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania and Greece to include into our sample of countries. The research of political-budget cycle confirmed our assumption. We did not find the political-budget cycle in Finland, the Netherlands and Estonia. On the other hand, we identified that Austrian, Czech and Greece governments had a tendency to manipulate fiscal policy before elections. The regression coefficients of Poland electoral dummies were very statistically significant but they had a wrong sign. We could not estimate political-budget cycle in Romania due to the short time series.

Abstract Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis and Schiffermüller) is a severe defoliator of various species of Pinus and Cedrus, while the urticanting hairs produced by its larvae cause public health problems for humans and pets. In the present study, we report results of trials (from summer 2015 until winter 2017) of mating disruption for management of T. pityocampa in different areas of Italy and Greece. Overall, the total number of male moths captured in mating disruption-treated plots over each season (70) was significantly lower than the respective number in untreated plots (780). The total number of winter nests was likewise significantly less in the mating disruption plots (13) compared with control plots (147). Our results indicate that mating disruption can be an important tool for judicious, insecticide-free control of T. pityocampa in urban, suburban, and recreational areas, where many alternative control measures are not available.

The economic future of Europe depends on the combination of many processes, not only strictly economic ones. Currently, the situation is becoming quite complicated, with a number of particularly adverse tendencies overlapping and mutually strengthening one another. Adding to the classical problems involving the economic slowdown, high unemployment rate and insufficient innovation of the European economy, is the immigration crisis, the escalating terrorist threat and Brexit, as well as the risk of Grexit. The potential overlapping of Brexit and Grexit could be fatal for European integration. Solving the Greek syndrome requires a radical change in the way the European Union, especially Germany, approaches this problem. On the one hand, specific structural reforms and fiscal adjustments are necessary in Greece, but on the other hand, there’s a necessity for a conditional reduction of the Greek public debt by half. What is needed in the long run, is to ensure that some countries’ surpluses are not financed with others’ deficits and debts.

According to a report by the Director of the Bank of Greece, during the past few months there have been signs that the Greek economy has entered a phase of balance and that it will possibly claw its way back to viability in the next year. It seems that the Greek banking system successfully went through the crisis and now follows a course of a restructuring process. The restructures are vital in order to manage an eventual restoration of normal funding circumstances in the real economy. Despite the careful optimistic reports of the government concerning the economy, the reality of the economic and entrepreunal world is rather different. More particularly, according to the results of researches, seems that the vast majority of the enterprises are in a really bad situation. The situation of most of the Greek enterprises is bad as they face many problems, such as: liquidity, access to bank funding, difficulties and delays in entering state programs or special funding programs, reduction of their turnover and difficulties in collecting overdue debts from their customers

Full textAbstract:
Membership in the Euro-Zone did not help Greece to escape the global financial crisis. To be sure, Greek’s backward economic structure and its corrupt political culture of clientelism and taxevasion as well as an overblown incompetent administration drove the country into deep public debts and deficits. Nevertheless, the actual crisis started with several external shocks and was exacerbated by discord in the euro-zone. Afraid of abetting French ambitions towards an ‘economic government’, the German government delayed common approaches to fend of speculation against ‘deficit sinners’ and invited the IMF - thereby opening the window for speculative attacks against the euro-zone as a whole. It remains to be seen if the recently improvised European Stabilization Mechanism can be a first step towards an overdue economic complement to EMU or if it will generalize IMF-style structural adjustments inside the EU. The latter ‘solution’ of the European crisis would, as already observable in the Baltics, put heavy social costs on deficit countries and undermine the justifications given for European integration, namely to secure convergence, cohesion and solidarity between its members.

Full textAbstract:
As exemplified by the three icsid cases brought by Italian bondholders against Argentina, arbitral tribunals have tended to interpret broadly the term ‘investment’ in applicable bits. However, the tribunal in Poštová banka v. Greece came to the opposite conclusion: the series of Greek sovereign bonds in question did not constitute a protected ‘investment’. Although the tribunal carefully scrutinized the specificity in phrasing in the applicable bits so as to justify its divergent conclusion, some commentators still find inconsistencies with previous jurisprudence. This article examines the interpretative approach taken by the Poštová tribunal and compares it to previous jurisprudence involving disputes over Argentine sovereign bonds, by employing the concept of a two-level judicial dialogue: dialogue on treaty languages and dialogue on an interpretative assumption. It will explain both the apparent consistency between the two lines of jurisprudence as well as the divergence in their interpretative approaches.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the EU economic position in 1995–2014 as well as the prospective growth potential in the global dimension up to 2025. The subject of the research is real and projected data including: GDP growth rate, main growth factors (labour, labour productivity and Total Factor Productivity), and their input to GDP growth, as well as data showing public debts and budget deficits. The analysis was conducted for the years 1995–2014 and 2015–2025. The authors' basic conclusions are: 1) the technological and economic gap between the European Union and the United States has been deepening; 2) the increasing polarisation of world economic powers and low GDP growth in the European Union limit the EU’s chances of maintaining the position as the second centre in the world economy; 3) improving the situation in public finances in the European Union as compared to the US is a factor which could raise GDP growth rates in European countries, however, there are countries whose future is in doubt due to the dramatically poor state of public finances, such as Greece, Italy, Portugal or Ireland; 4) economic growth forecasts indicate a deepening of the economic gap between the largest EU countries and the US.

Also, data show that two major Greek political parties cannot easily repay their bank loans (especially PASOK) and must renegotiate terms with banks and must agree for a new, long-term and lower payment schedule at a lower interest rate. Extending the period of repayment is necessary for viability of debts, and banks will protect themselves against default and total losses of about 253.1 million euros from the two major political parties. Public subsidies are the only collateral that Greek political parties offer to banks. Practical implications – As a result of research, structural changes are necessary to immediately be made in order to cope with politically exposed persons and political parties' corruption and funding in Greece, especially during the current fiscal crises. Greek political parties need to raise funds from other sources than only public subsidies. Anti-Money Laundering Regulatory Framework have to stop conduit contributions and force banks to apply Know Your Client Principle for donors. Also, to include on Suspicious Activity Report a checkbox of “Political Finance Violations”. Establishing a code of conduct informing employees of the risks and subsequences of political corruption, creating a culture of honesty and high ethics and implementing Controlled Foreign Corporation legislation to cope with corruption in political parties' funding can help to recover ill-gotten assets. Finally, implementing Business Principles for Countering Bribery and UK Bribery Act will increase transparency in funding of Greek political parties. Originality/value – The paper examines corruption and funding sources of Greek political parties, especially during the period 2009-2011, suggesting policy measures to deter and detect money laundering and illegal funding to politically exposed persons and political parties. Findings offer important measures for political analysts, government and society as a whole. A stable political system is prerequisite for a healthy society and for economic growth.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The pine processionary moth, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis and Schiffermüller), is an important insect in the Mediterranean region, as it defoliates pines and its urticating hairs can cause allergic reactions in humans and animals. Moreover, this species exhibits an interesting genetic structure as recently a distinct East-North African mtDNA lineage (‘ENA clade’) has been described. This clade has been recently detected in Greek populations where it has currently expanded its range by replacing the ‘endemic’ T. pityocampa lineages. Here, we report new data on the rapid spread of ‘ENA clade’ in the Greek island Evoia in only a few years. As the underlying mechanisms of the ‘ENA clade’ range expansion has not been studied so far, we screened T. pityocampa for an infection with the heritable bacterial endosymbionts Wolbachia (Bacteria: Anaplasmataceae), Cardinium (Bacteria: Bacteroidaceae), Rickettsia (Bacteria: Rickettsiaceae) and Spiroplasma (Bacteria: Spiroplasmataceae). These bacteria can manipulate the reproduction of infected hosts, something that could potentially explain the rapid spread of ‘ENA clade’ lineage. Therefore, we screened 28 individuals that exhibited T. pityocampa ‘ENA clade’ and ‘endemic’ T. pityocampa haplotypes from nine populations scattered all over Greece. None of them was infected with any of the four endosymbionts, suggesting that these bacteria do not cause reproductive manipulations in T. pityocampa lineages and, thus, other factors should be explored in future research efforts.

Full textAbstract:
The article analyzes the emergence and development of human rights in ancient Greece as a socio-historical phenomenon. The author finds that the term «human rights» originated relatively recently and finally became established after the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the UN General Assembly on December 10, 1948, but the ideas of equality and justice were traced in such ancient collections as Hammurabi's Laws, Moses' Laws, Old Testament, Laws of Manu, etc. It is established that the protection of individual rights in ancient times became widespread in ancient Greece, where human rights became a natural consequence of the polis form of democracy and were associated mainly with the concept of citizenship, which provided the equality of all members of the policy in the exercise of rights and freedoms, especially political. Consequently, the existence of human rights, recognized by most ancient Greek thinkers, in particular the principles of equality, justice, freedom and protection of individual rights are traced in the works of Homer, Hesiod, Pythagoreans, Democritus, Sophists (especially Protagoras, Antiphon, Lycophron, Alcidamas of Elaea), Socrates, Plato, Aristotle and Epicurus. Certain human rights provisions were included in the Draconian laws, which restricted the over-interpretation of the law by the archons, as well as Solon's reforms, regarding to, inter alia, the cancellation of the debts of the poor and the granting them of certain rights, including political ones. For ancient Greece, the notion of natural law, founded by Hesiod as a law by nature (feses), is fundamental. The Pythagoreans formulated the concepts of «appropriate measure» and «proportionality» as justice in human relations, which played an important role in shaping the ideas of legal equality of people. Democritus first raised the problem of individual human freedom, arguing that wise and good people, because they are able to comprehend the laws of nature and the highest justice, must live freely. The Sophists established the postulate of the fundamentality of natural law, contrasting it with positive law. Protagoras formulated the maxim: «Man is the measure of all things», which is in fact decisive in the modern concept of human rights and freedoms, where man is proclaimed the highest value. Protagoras and Antiphon substantiated the idea of equality of all people by nature. Alcidamas of Elaea, and later the Stoics developed the idea of equality of all people, including slaves. Lycophron declared personal rights an inalienable natural right. Socrates recognized political freedom, in accordance with the requirements of reason and justice, a beautiful and majestic property for both man and the state. Plato, like Socrates, identified legality (law) and justice. He proclaimed the principle of equality of all before the state, regardless of origin and gender. Aristotle distinguished between distributive and equalizing justice, which is the basis of modern legal understanding. He argued that natural law personifies political justice, which is possible only between free and equal people. Epicurus believed that justice, which comes from nature, is also a socially contractual phenomenon. He substantiated the ethical autonomy of man.

Full textAbstract:
This paper pays brief attention, although more than the recent flood of 1914 centenary books, to economic causes of the First World War before turning to it fateful economic consequences for Southeastern Europe. The Austrian lack of economic leverage over Serbia is cited as a reason for its resort to the military option. At the war?s end, the option of the victorious powers to provide significant economic relief to the region where the conflict had begun was not taken. After tracking the brief, limited assistance provided, the paper reviews to the massive economic problems confronting four of the five of independent states, neglecting Albania as a special case, that could now be called Southeastern Europe. First Greece and then Bulgaria faced forced inflow of refugees. Romania and the Yugoslav Kingdom faced the economic integration of large new, formerly Austro-Hungarian lands. All of them were left not only with war deaths and destruction but also with large war debts, or in Bulgaria?s case, reparations. The paper concentrates on the primary Western response to these four economies, an effort led by the Bank of England to replace immediate postwar inflation with the deflation needed to reestablish currencies with prewar convertibility to gold, now with Pound Sterling added to a gold reserve standard. Independent central banks, the major positive legacy of this initiative, were to lead the way. But the financial stability that all four economies did eventually achieve in the 1920s served only to reduce their war debts. Otherwise, maintaining the fixed and overvalued exchange rates restricted domestic credit, encouraged protective tariffs, and did not attract the foreign capital, especially new state loans, that this emphasis on a single, European financial framework had promised. A concluding section considers the lessons learned from a postwar period that promoted economic disintegration by the 1930s. Looking at the period since the end of the Cold War and then the wars of Yugoslavia?s dissolution, we see EU leadership in the reduction of trade barriers, the promotion of common fiscal practice and the prospect of genuine European integration as Western lessons learned. Within the region, independent central banks have helped the process. But the stabilization of currencies around the overvalued Euro has posed a familiar post- 1918 problem since the European downturn of 2008.

Ecologica Montenegrina 32 (June 3, 2020): 1–9. http://dx.doi.org/10.37828/em.2020.32.1.
Full textAbstract:
In September 2017, 96 egg batches of Thaumetopoea pityocampa were collected from Aleppo pine (Pinus halepensis) trees at four sites of Thasos Island in Greece. In the different localities, the average number of eggs in batches varied from 196.5 to 223.9 (212.4 for the Thasos Island). The length of P. halepensis needles with egg batches differed in size - between 84 to 210 mm. Approximately 75% of batches were laid close to the middle of needles, between 121 and 180 mm. The egg masses were formed mainly on two needles (84.4%) and the rest - on one, three or four needles (13.6%) or on fine shoots (2%). In most cases (88.3%), the female moths started to lay eggs from the tip of the needle. The distance from the base of the needle to the beginning of the egg batches was established between 0 and 180 mm, as most of them (62.7%) were clustered around the average value (87.3 mm) in the diapason of 60-120 mm. The average rate of T. pityocampa survival in egg stage was 48%. The parasitized eggs were 43.8%, and the rest included unhatched eggs, predominately undeveloped eggs with dried-up yolk. No correlation was found between the percentage of parasitized eggs and the distance of the egg batches from the base of needles.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze whether and to what extent households living in southern Europe, i.e. Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy, experience similar conditions of financial vulnerability, considering that in comparative research these countries are often grouped together because of the substantial instability of their economies and the similarity of social and welfare model. Design/methodology/approach The authors use data from Household Finance and Consumption Survey, a quite novel data set that covers the whole balance sheet of a sample of households. The authors compute four indicators of debt burden and in order to study households’ risk of default the authors apply two-part model, which is a valuable alternative to the application of conventional regression models with zero-inflated data. Findings Analysis reveals that the burden of debts and the risk of default are very different among the four countries, in particular Spain and Portugal have the highest proportion of financially vulnerable households. Originality/value The study is one a few that have directly compared objectives indicators of households’ financial vulnerability in all Southern European countries. Moreover, the authors employ a two-part model, a valuable alternative to the application of conventional logit or linear regression models. In the first part of the model the authors estimate the probability that households suffer financial vulnerability; in the second part, the authors estimate households’ level of vulnerability only for vulnerable families.

Full textAbstract:
Studies on egg parasitoids of the pine processionary moth (Thaumetopoea pityocampa) were conducted during the period 1991-2018 in native localities of the pest on the Balkan Peninsula and in Asia Minor. In Bulgaria the biological material (2510 egg batches and 579273 eggs) was collected in 48 host localities. A number of 650 egg batches and 135611 eggs were studied from the Balkan countries (North Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Greece), and in the Asian part of Turkey (Asia Minor), the biological material was examined from nine habitats. Eight species of egg parasitoids (Ooencyrtus pityocampae, Baryscapus servadeii, B. transversalis, Pediobius bruchicida, Anastatus bifasciatus, Eupelmus vesicularis, E. vladimiri and Trichogramma sp.) were found. The total regulating effect of egg parasitoids in Bulgaria was on average 17.6%, and in the other Balkan countries – 24.9%. Trichogramma sp. was found in 63.1% of the analysed samples in Bulgaria and in 55.6% from the neighboring countries. The percent of parasitism of T. pityocampa eggs by Trichogramma sp. was low - on average 0.39% for Bulgaria and 0.73% for the other Balkan countries. The relative share of the species in the total percentage of parasitised eggs for Bulgaria and the other countries was 2.2% and 2.9%, respectively.

Full textAbstract:
SUMMARY Tectonic activity is very difficult to study in the Santorini volcanic complex (SVC) as it comprises a cluster of small/awkwardly shaped islands covered by pyroclastic deposits from which tell-tale markers are swiftly erased, while seismicity is generally absent. We address the problem by combining geophysical exploration methods to evaluate the long-term effects of tectonic deformation and time-lapse differential GPS to directly evaluate the magnitude and kinematics of present-day deformation. The former comprise 3-D gravity modelling to investigate the footprint of tectonics on the pre-volcanic Alpine basement and natural-field EM induction to map conductivity anomalies epiphenomenal to fluid circulation in faults. Our analysis identified the following principal tectonic elements: The Trans-Santorin Divide (TSD), a segmented NNW–SSE dextral strike-slip fault splitting the SVC sideways of the line joining Cape Exomytis, the Kammeni Islets and the Oia–Therassia Strait. It is collocated with a major vertical conductive zone and forms a series of dents and depressions in the basement. The Columbo Fault Zone (CFZ) is a pair of parallel NE–SW subvertical normal-sinistral faults straddling the northern SVC and terminating against the TSD; it may be associated with fluid injection into the shallow crust but appears to have limited effect on crustal conductivity (compared to TSD). The Anhydros Fault Zone (AFZ) is detected by its footprint on the basement, as a set of parallel northerly dipping NE–SW faults between the Athinios–Monolithos line and Fira. If it has any heave, it is left-lateral. It does not have distinguishable electrical signature and does not contribute to present-day horizontal deformation. The CFZ and AFZ are antithetic and form a graben containing the volcanic centre of Kammeni Islets. E–W extension was identified lengthwise of a zone stretching from Cape Exomytis to Athinios and along the east flank of the caldera to Imerovigli. N–S normal faulting confirmed therein, may have contributed to the localization of the east caldera wall. NNE–SSW compression was observed at SW Thera; this may have produced E-W failure and contributed to the localization of the south caldera wall. The footprint of the caldera on the basement is a parallelogram with N–S long and WNW–ESE short dimensions: if the east and south flanks collapsed along N–S normal and E–W inverse failures, then the west and north flanks may have formed analogously. Present-day deformation is localized on the TSD and CFZ: this can only be explained if the former is the synthetic (dextral) Riedel-R shear and the latter the antithetic (sinistral) Riedel-R′ shear, generated by N–S σ1 and E–W σ3 principal stress axes. Accordingly, NW–SE right-lateral shearing of the broader area is expected and indicated by several lines of indirect evidence. The geographic extent of this shearing and its role in the regional tectonics of the south Aegean remains to be confirmed and appraised by future research. Contemporary volcanic centres develop at the interface of the TSD with the CFZ/AFZ graben; volcanism appears to be controlled by tectonics and the SVC to be shaped by tectonic rather than volcanic activity.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to point out the importance, value and the economic status of the public information services (PIS), which are in danger and to propose alternative solutions that the Greek Governmental Officials and Public Sector’s Library Managers can employ to support and promote PIS, their staff value and work and to finance their existence/preservation, plans and activities. Another objective of the paper is to increase librarians’ and library staff morale and encourage their participation and play a more proactive role in finding and securing such financial resources that will benefit all (PIS and librarians). Design/methodology/approach – Considering the deep financial crisis in Greece, the paper presents and analyzes a thorough list of strategies, actions, practical recommendations and measures that public sector’s information professionals could apply in their attempt to promote PIS benefits to the society. Through these actions, they can also approach and convince stakeholders, governmental officials for (more) funding and other people to become sponsors and donors. Findings – The article highlights the bad economic status of PIS, the increasing need for financial support and the fact that PIS and their professional appointments are under serious threat. It provides a combination of not only traditional widely known and applied methods but also a number of new measures and practices “borrowed” from private sector to show ways of finding alternative financing solutions to fund the existence of libraries, the paying of their debts and the salaries of librarians and the library staff. Moreover, it is suggested to politicians and policy-makers that important legislative bills/changes should take place to promote the flexibility in operations of PIS and in financial transactions between PIS and private companies. Practical implications – The paper with the analyzed measures can set a paradigm of changing the organizational culture of PIS. Also, it points management practices to managers such as employee engagement, brainstorming and employee empowerment. Furthermore, it explores ways for librarians to find motivation, to engage more actively and even point to Ministers to give Public Servants the opportunity to accelerate their career development. In addition, it implies that changes in the law should take place to form a more flexible frame of operation for PIS. Finally, it provides a practical strategy to reverse attempted mergers of PIS with each other or other public organizations. Social implications – The paper presents such ideas and suggestions, which come against with certain stereotypes of Public Administration/Management and operation, “old school” and conservative ways of thinking and acting of Public Servants (many of whom have never worked in the private sector and have been working in the same position for over 20 years now), professional and trade unions. The role of politicians and policy-makers and the ethos of private companies toward Public Sector’s services in days of financial hardship in Greece are also discussed. Originality/value – There is significantly limited research in the literature on the identification of threats to the existence, job security and constantly diminishing funding of PIS, in general, and, in particular, in Greece and suggested ways to overcome this. The article recommends to Information Professionals and particularly to those who work in PIS in Greece and worldwide various ways to secure income in an environment of tight budgets and cutbacks. The goal is to provoke thinking along the lines of the function of the private sector and adoption of specific practices to find economic resources and secure continuity of PIS “operation and jobs” preservation, even increase their salaries.

Full textAbstract:
Pomegranates (Punica granatum L.) are widely grown in many tropical and subtropical countries, especially in the moderate climate of the Mediterranean Region. In Italy, pomegranates are harvested from September to November. During October and November 2009 in Orbassano (Piedmont Region), postharvest fruit rots were observed on pomegranates (cv. Dente di Cavallo) after 30 days of storage at 5°C. Infected fruits showed soft, brown tissues that later were covered with masses of green mycelium, conidiophores, and hyphae of a fungus. Tissues were excised from the margin between the healthy and diseased tissues on pomegranates and plated on potato dextrose agar amended with 25 μg of streptomycin per liter. The fungus recovered from the tissue produced abundant mycelium and conidia on PDA after 7 days at 20 ± 2°C. Colonies consisting of dense erect conidiophores appeared velvety, gray-green, and the reverse of PDA culture was usually yellow to yellow-orange. Conidiophores were monoverticilliate, consisting of an unbranched stipe, smooth to finely roughened, and germinating in a whorl of 10 to 12 phialides. Phialides were flask shaped and 8 to 12 × 3 to 3.5 μm. Conidia were produced in typical long columns, globose to subglobose, smooth to finely roughened, with walls somewhat echinulate, and ranging from 3 to 3.5 μm in diameter (3). Preliminary morphological identification of the fungus was confirmed by PCR using genomic DNA extracted from the mycelia of pure cultures. One sequence, obtained through the amplification of ribosomal region ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (4), was blasted in GenBank and showed 100% sequence coverage and 99% similarity to ribosomal sequences of Penicillium glabrum. The sequence was deposited in GenBank (Accession No. GU734815). Pathogenicity was tested on 10 ripe fruits (cv. Dente di Cavallo) surface sterilized with 1% sodium hypochlorite. To make inoculum, 7-day-old PDA cultures of the fungus were flooded with sterile water and scraped with a sterile spatula. Resulting suspensions were filtered through two layers of sterile cotton lint and brought to a final concentration of 105 conidia/ml with sterile distilled water. Conidial suspensions (30 μl) were placed on artificial wounds generated on the fruit surface. Control fruits were treated with sterile water. Ten days after inoculation, P. glabrum was reisolated on PDA from the inoculated fruit. Control fruits were symptomless. Previously, P. glabrum was reported on pomegranate in Greece (1). Other species of Penicillium, including P. expansum, P. implicatum, and P. purpurogenum, also were reported on pomegranate in the United States (2), Slovakia, and India, respectively. To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. glabrum causing a postharvest fruit rot of pomegranate in Italy. References: (1) G. A. Bardas et al. Plant Dis. 93:1347, 2009. (2) A. M. French.

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases 80, Suppl 1 (May 19, 2021): 156.2–157. http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/annrheumdis-2021-eular.2301.
Full textAbstract:
Background:To date, the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) guidelines recommend X-ray (XR) as first line imaging in axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and magnetic resonance imaging (MR) if the diagnosis cannot be established by XR and clinical features. However, much knowledge has been gained recently strengthening the applicability of MR for the detection of structural lesions and raising the question, whether XR is still necessary. Also, several publications used low-dose computed tomography (CT) as reference standard and imaging test.Objectives:In light of this complex diagnostic situation, the aim of this study was to compare the three major modalities, XR, MR and CT of SIJ, in their diagnostic performance of axSpA and differential diagnosis in a cohort of patients with low back pain using the final judgment of the rheumatologist as standard of reference.Methods:163 patients (89 with axSpA; 74 with degenerative diseases) underwent XR, CT and MR. Three blinded experts categorized the imaging into axSpA, other diseases or normal in 5 separate reading rounds (XR, CT, MR, XR+MR, CT+MR, respectively). The results were compared to the clinical diagnosis. Sensitivity and specificity values for axSpA and interrater reliability were compared.Results:XR showed lower sensitivity and specificity (66.3%/67.6% respectively) compared to MR (82.0%/86.5%) and CT (77.5%/97.3%). Sensitivity and specificity of XR+MR was similar to MR alone (77.5% / 87.8%). However, CT+MR was superior to MR alone (75.6% / 97.3%) (see Figure). CT had the best interrater reliability (kappa = 0.875) followed by MR (0.665) and XR (0.517). CR+MR reliability was similar (0.662) compared to MR alone, while CT+MR reliability (0.732) was superior.Figure 1.Frequency of positive and negative findings in radiography (XR), computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MR) and combinations and resulting diagnostic accuracy values. SE: Sensitivity, SP: Specificity, LR-/+: negative/positive likelihood ratio.Conclusion:In conclusion, XR is inferior to cross-sectional imaging and should be replaced by MR or CT for differential diagnosis. While MR is the most sensitive imaging technique, it lacks specificity when compared to CT. CT alone has high diagnostic accuracy, despite being insensitive to bone marrow lesions such as fatty metaplasia or osteitis. Adding CT to MR leads to an increase in specificity at a minor expense of sensitivity.References:[1]Sieper J, Rudwaleit M, Baraliakos X, et al.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the debt situation in European countries, especially in Italy and Spain, since these countries are leaders among European countries in terms of debt burden. The article examines both external and public debt, but more attention is paid to public debt, as it is more important than external debt for Italy and Spain. This situation is related to the fact that both countries are members of the European Union and the Eurozone, that is, they pay their foreign debt in euros, and the national currency is also the euro, which gives the countries more favorable conditions. For comparison with the countries of the euro zone, the article also examines the debt situation in Poland, since this country has kept its own currency, and for its economy the external debt is no less significant than the national debt. The debt situation in the countries is analyzed for the period from 2016 to 2021 and the beginning of 2022, since this period of time allows to assess the situation before and during the pandemic. According to the data analysis, Poland has the smallest public debt in 2021, and Greece has the largest, the article also examines such indicators as the yield of 10-year bonds of the countries, the public deficit and the foreign debts of Italy, Spain and Poland. In 2021, among the countries with the highest yield of 10 summer government bonds, Poland is leading, and in 2022, the country has the highest yield, this situation indicates the growth of risks for the country's economy and its stability. The largest increase in the government deficit in 2020 occurred in Italy, while the smallest in Poland. Regarding public debt, the situation is the same, the public debt of Italy in 2020 increased by 29.5%, Spain by 27%, and Poland by 13.9% of GDP. In the article, vector autoregressions were constructed to reveal the presence of dependence between budget deficits and current accounts of the balance of payments of the countries under study. The results of the modulation proved that there is such a dependence in Spain, which was also confirmed by linear regression and the indicators were found to be inversely related. The modulation results also proved the presence of an inverse relationship between the yield on the 10-year Spanish government bond and the current account. In Italy and Poland, the existence of a double deficit was not detected.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundEarly and accurate diagnosis is essential for the further outcome of patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA). The confident interpretation of image data sets plays a special role in the clinical practice is crucial for diagnosing axSpA. Therefore, the own assessment of the diagnostic confidence (DC) in the evaluation of images plays an increasingly important role. For this reason, the current guidelines from the ASAS working group recommend reporting the diagnostic confidence in the radiological report.ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to investigate the validity of self-reported DC on the performance of readers in the diagnosis of axSpA using sacroiliac joint (SIJ) images in X-ray, computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).MethodsIn total, 163 subjects were included in this retrospective study. In all subjects, X-ray, CT and MRI of the SIJ were available. In total, 9 readers scored the images for the presence or absence of axSpA. The readers were divided into three equal groups according to their experience in musculoskeletal imaging: inexperienced (0 to 1 year of experience), semi-experienced (3 to 8 years of experience) and experienced group (over 8 years of experience). All readers were blinded to clinical data. The DC was collected during the evaluation of the images on a scale from 0 (not sure) to 10 (very sure). Contingency table analysis was performed to assess the reader’s performance using the clinical diagnosis (axSpA or non-axSpA) as standard of reference. The mean DC’s and standard deviation (SD) were calculated for the correct and incorrect axSpA diagnosis for each readers group separately for X-ray, CT and MRI and their differences were assessed using the unpaired t-tests.ResultsOverall, 89 patients were diagnosed with axSpA and 56 patients with degenerative SIJ disease previously to the scoring. We included 18 healthy subjects in the scoring. The cumulative correct (right-positive) and incorrect (false-positive) axSpA diagnoses were evaluated separately for the different reader groups with the mean DC values, see also Table 1. We showed that the DC differs significantly for the correct and incorrect diagnosis of axSpA in the semi-experienced and in the experienced group in all modalities. However, in the inexperienced group, no significant difference was obtained between the DC’s in X-ray and CT.ConclusionIn this study, we were able to show for the first time that diagnostic confidence is a predictive measurement of the diagnostic performance respective reader in the evaluation of patients with axSpA. This is especially true for the interpretation of MRIs, which showed significant differences in all reader groups. Based on these findings, we hypothesize that the addition of diagnostic confidence in radiological findings is a reliable tool to predict diagnostic performance.Table 1.Results.

Full textAbstract:
In the new issue, our scientific journal offers you thirteen scientific articles. As always, we try to offer a wide variety of topics and areas and follow current trends in the history of science and technology. In the article by Olha Chumachenko, оn the basis of a wide base of sources, the article highlights and analyzes the development of research work of aircraft engine companies in Zaporizhzhia during the 1970s. The existence of a single system of functioning of the Zaporizhzhia production association “Motorobudivnyk” (now the Public Joint Stock Company “Motor Sich”) and the Zaporizhzhia Machine-Building Design Bureau “Progress” (now the State Enterprise “Ivchenko – Progress”) has been taken into account. Leonid Griffen and Nadiia Ryzheva present their vision of the essence of technology as a socio-historical phenomenon. The article reveals the authors' vision of the essence of the technology as a sociohistorical phenomenon. It is based on the idea that technology is not only a set of technical devices but a segment of the general system – a society – located between a social medium and its natural surroundings in the form of a peculiar social technosphere, which simultaneously separates and connects them. Definitely the article by Denis Kislov, which examines the period from the end of the XVII century to the beginning of the XIX century, is also of interest, when on the basis of deep philosophical concepts, a new vision of the development of statehood and human values raised. At this time, a certain re-thinking of the management and communication ideas of Antiquity and the Renaissance took place, which outlined the main promising trends in the statehood evolution, which to one degree or another were embodied in practice in the 19th and 20th centuries. A systematic approach and a comparative analysis of the causes and consequences of those years’ achievements for the present and the immediate future of the 21st century served as the methodological basis for a comprehensive review of the studies of that period. The article by Serhii Paliienko is devoted to an exploration of archaeological theory issues at the Institute of archaeology AS UkrSSR in the 1960s. This period is one of the worst studied in the history of Soviet archaeology. But it was the time when in the USSR archaeological researches reached the summit, quantitative methods and methods of natural sciences were applied and interest in theoretical issues had grown in archaeology. Now there are a lot of publications dedicated to theoretical discussions between archaeologists from Leningrad but the same researches about Kyiv scholars are still unknown The legacy of St. Luke in medical science, authors from Greece - this study aims to highlight key elements of the life of Valentyn Feliksovych Voino-Yasenetskyi and his scientific contribution to medicine. Among the scientists of European greatness, who at the turn of the XIX and XX centuries showed interest to the folklore of Galicia (Halychyna) and Galician Ukrainians, contributed to their national and cultural revival, one of the leading places is occupied by the outstanding Ukrainian scientist Ivan Verkhratskyi. He was both naturalist and philologist, as well as folklorist and ethnographer, organizer of scientific work, publisher and popularizer of Ukrainian literature, translator, publicist and famous public figure. I. H. Verkhratskyi was also an outstanding researcher of plants and animals of Eastern Galicia, a connoisseur of insects, especially butterflies, the author of the first school textbooks on natural science written in Ukrainian. A new emerging field that has seen the application of the drone technology is the healthcare sector. Over the years, the health sector has increasingly relied on the device for timely transportation of essential articles across the globe. Since its introduction in health, scholars have attempted to address the impact of drones on healthcare across Africa and the world at large. Among other things, it has been reported by scholars that the device has the ability to overcome the menace of weather constraints, inadequate personnel and inaccessible roads within the healthcare sector. This notwithstanding, data on drones and drone application in Ghana and her healthcare sector in particular appears to be little within the drone literature. Also, little attempt has been made by scholars to highlight the use of drones in African countries. By using a narrative review approach, the current study attempts to address the gap above. By this approach, a thorough literature search was performed to locate and assess scientific materials involving the application of drones in the military field and in the medical systems of Africans and Ghanaians in particular. The paper by Artemii Bernatskyi and Vladyslav Khaskin is devoted to the analysis of the history of the laser creation as one of the greatest technical inventions of the 20th century. This paper focuses on establishing a relation between the periodization of the stages of creation and implementation of certain types of lasers, with their influence on the invention of certain types of equipment and industrial technologies for processing the materials, the development of certain branches of the economy, and scientific-technological progress as a whole. The paper discusses the stages of: invention of the first laser; creation of the first commercial lasers; development of the first applications of lasers in industrial technologies for processing the materials. Special attention is paid to the “patent wars” that accompanied different stages of the creation of lasers. A comparative analysis of the market development for laser technology from the stage of creation to the present has been carried out. Nineteenth-century world exhibitions were platforms to demonstrate technical and technological changes that witnessed the modernization and industrialization of the world. World exhibitions have contributed to the promotion of new inventions and the popularization of already known, as well as the emergence of art objects of world importance. One of the most important world events at the turn of the century was the 1900 World's Fair in Paris. Thus, the author has tried to analyze the participation of representatives of the sugar industry in the World's Fair in 1900 and to define the role of exhibitions as indicators of economic development, to show the importance and influence of private entrepreneurs, especially from Ukraine, on the sugar industry and international contacts. The article by Viktor Verhunov highlights the life and creative path of the outstanding domestic scientist, theorist, methodologist and practitioner of agricultural engineering K. G. Schindler, associated with the formation of agricultural mechanics in Ukraine. The methodological foundation of the research is the principles of historicism, scientific nature and objectivity in reproducing the phenomena of the past based on the complex use of general scientific, special, interdisciplinary methods. For the first time a number of documents from Russian and Ukrainian archives, which reflect some facts of the professional biography of the scientist, were introduced into scientific circulation. The authors from Kremenchuk National University named after Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi presented a fascinating study of a bayonet fragment with severe damages of metal found in the city Kremenchuk (Ukraine) in one of the canals on the outskirts of the city, near the Dnipro River. Theoretical research to study blade weapons of the World War I period and the typology of the bayonets of that period, which made it possible to put forward an assumption about the possible identification of the object as a modified bayonet to the Mauser rifle has been carried out. Metal science expert examination was based on X-ray fluorescence spectrometry to determine the concentration of elements in the sample from the cleaned part of the blade. In the article by Mykola Ruban and Vadym Ponomarenko on the basis of the complex analysis of sources and scientific literature the attempt to investigate historical circumstances of development and construction of shunting electric locomotives at the Dnipropetrovsk electric locomotive plant has been made. The next scientific article continues the series of publications devoted to the assessment of activities of the heads of the Ministry of Railways of the Russian Empire. In this article, the authors have attempted to systematize and analyze historical data on the activities of Klavdii Semyonovych Nemeshaev as the Minister of Railways of the Russian Empire.

Full textAbstract:
Accumulation of overdue tax debts has been a thorn in the side of Greek fiscal policy in the past two decades. The dramatic accumulation of tax debts during the crisis of 2008 called for urgent reforms and measures to tackle the problem. Under the pressure of three Economic Adjustment Programmes, the MOU governments embarked on an effort to reform Greek Tax Administration, with emphasis on independence, depoliticization and wider digital transformation. This has been a slow process yet to be completed and the strains to the system introduced by the ongoing health crisis, make the need for reform even more urgent. The present paper puts overdue tax debts into perspective, analyzes the process of accumulation and brings out its main features, assesses the efficiency of Tax Administration and comes up with several policy recommendations. After we profile overdue debts stock and its characteristics, we compile an input-output table, which leads us to the composition of a series of indicators, which help assess the efficiency of tax administration in the context of the fiscal policies of the last two decades. The results of the research indicate poor quality of debts accumulated over time, as well as low efficiency of the Tax Administration, but with some improvement in recent years.

This article reviews Yanis Varoufakis’ (2016) book “And the Weak Suffer what They Must? Europe, Austerity and the Threat to Global Stability”. It argues that the question “When will the creditors get ‘their money’ back from Greece?” must be dialectically reversed: When will Greece get its money back from Germany? When will Germany pay its debts?

Full textAbstract:
The euro has been sliding against the US dollar for weeks. Concerns about the public finances of eurozone countries Portugal, Ireland, Greece, and Spain, the so-called «PIGS,» have emerged in financial markets. Greece is facing the severest crisis, with its 10-year bond yield approaching 7%. The Greek government estimates its budget deficit at 12.7% of GDP in 2009. Gross government debts amount to 113% of its GDP. If the interest rate Greece has to pay for its debts keeps rising, the country may have to default on its obligations.
In an attempt to recoup confidence in the future of the country, the Greek government has announced a freeze on public salaries, a reduction in the number of public servants, and an increase in taxes on gas, tobacco, alcohol, and big real-estate properties. This should help to reduce the deficit to 8% in 2010. However, the markets do not trust this solution.
While the increase in taxes will cause new problems for the Greeks, other problems remain unaddressed: The huge public sector has not been substantially reduced. Wage rates remain uncompetitive as a result of strong labor unions.
Moreover, it is not clear if the government can stick to these small spending cuts, as there will be a general strike in February. In December 2008, Greece experienced riots against comparatively minor political reforms. As the majority of the population seems to be against spending cuts, the government may not be able to prevent the bankruptcy of the country.
For years, the Greek government has demonstrated rather thriftless spending behavior. This was exacerbated when Greece started to pay lower interest rates on government bonds by virtue of having entered the European Economic and Monetary Union.
Greece’s interest rates were subsidized due to an implicit guarantee from the strong members of the eurozone, who were expected to support weaker members in times of trouble. During the first years of the euro, interest rates on Greek bonds were thus reduced; they approached German bond yields. Greece spent wildly but paid interest rates like a much more conservative country. Meanwhile, the Greek economy and voting public adapted to government spending subsidized by low interest rates.

Full textAbstract:
This article studies the Greek crisis since 2009 with a synthesized Marxian framework by embedding the Greek capital accumulation process into the capitalist core-periphery structure in the European Union, which deteriorated the competitiveness of Greece and adversely impacted its capital accumulation, leading to a relatively low profit rate in the neoliberal era. Institutions of the European Union helped Greece turn to debt-driven accumulation to sustain growth, especially the external debt of government, but the weak productive accumulation because of relatively low profit rate made the accumulation of debt unsustainable in the long run. When doubt was cast on Greece’s capacity to repay its debts, the economy lost external sources of funding, leading to a halt in debt expansion and the burst of the sovereign debt crisis.

Full textAbstract:
In the decade 2000-2009 Greece had the higher rate of public pharmaceutical expenditures as a percentage out of the total public health expenditure and the bigger per capita consumption of public pharmaceutical expenditure among the EU countries. At the end of this decade, Greek governments confronted with this “paradox” and tried to reduce it unsuccessfully. In order to finance its debt, Greece took a financial package of 110 billion € from Troika of the European Commission (EC), European Central Bank (ECB), and International Monetary Fund (IMF) under strict conditions and adopted austere policies designed by Troika all over the public finance sector in order to reduce its debts. Our aim is to provide an overview of new legislation starting from the first memorandum until the first quarter of 2014 and to record the impact of pharmaceutical reforms in all over the pharmaceutical chain. The legislation of this period had the reduction in public pharmaceutical expenditures as a primary endpoint. The new laws focus on new drug pricing policies, profit control regulations, and demand regulations. The economic targets in order to decrease public pharmaceutical expenditures were achieved but not without cost, all the parts in the pharmaceutical chain were affected, especially the last link the patients.
