Coming to Light : Illuminating the House of the Greek Epigrams in Pompeii

In recent decades, studies of Roman domestic space have proliferated. The result is a rich but impenetrable picture, with scholars often favoring the use of ancient sources on one hand and finds from excavated houses or material remains on the other. Studies have emphasized how light can be approached to investigate space and its social meaning. At the same time, in the field of digital technologi

An early anonymous Greek translation of the Qur'ān : The fragments from Niketas Byzantios' Refutatio and the anonymous Abjuratio

Abstract in SpanishPresentamos en este artículo los fragmentos de la primera traducción completa conocida del Corán, acompañados de una introducción y notas. Esta traducción al griego, realizada algún tiempo antes de 780 d.C., no ha sido hasta ahora reconocida en los estudios coránicos ni en los bizantinos, sin que sus principales rasgos hayan sido advertidos. En el artículo argumentamos que la tr

Efficient Barrier Option Greeks using Automatic Differentation

K¨anslighetsanalys av barri¨aroptioner med algoritmisk derivering F¨or att f˚a ut optionspris och derivator p˚a priset med avseende p˚a tex r¨anta och volatilitet, utf¨ors vanligtvis ett antal simuleringar varp˚a ett medelv¨arde r¨aknas ut. D¨arefter r¨aknas derivatorna ut med en finit differensmetod. F¨or att erh˚alla tillf¨orlitliga resultat med denna metod kr¨avs ett stort antal simuleringar viAutomatic Differentiation (AD) is an effective method for calculation of derivatives. It can evaluate an unlimited number of derivatives to a fixed cost relative to the computing time of the original function. The AD technique is used in many fields for large and complex calculations in order to get accurate values of derivatives fast. Banks and other financial institutions handle calculations of

The power of memory and the political dialogue in Greece : The rise of radicalism

This study explores the contexts in which the conflict evolved and how history was perceived, narrated and used by institutions, communities and individuals who sought to influence public opinion and policymakers. The theoretical point of departure is the concept of collective memory, defined as the totality of discourses through which a society makes sense of itself, the present and the future th

Testing for unit roots in the presence of structural change IRAN – GREECE CPI case

In this thesis we consider different tests for unit roots in the presence of structural change. We present the theory that lies behind unit roots, what we mean by structural change and try to detect the instances that “breaks” occur in the data. When performing a unit root test, when there is a structural change the results are biased toward accepting a unit root. Therefore, special care must be t

Civic culture and informal media uses: Poles and Greeks discussing “free culture”

The article begins from critical accounts addressing the crisis of politics and citizenship today, to study the civic potential that several media and social scholars view in informal practices that include the usage of new media and information and communication technologies. On one hand, new media and ICT are noted to empower individual users and groups, to provide spaces of voice and debate and
