Talks, screenings, performances, walks, and discussions, organized by Gigi Argyropoulou. In Spite of Everything brings together theorists, activists, and artists to “jam time” (“the way we separate the past, present, and future”), problematize what fails and what returns, and think through possible urban afterlives—moments of organizing, imagining, thinking, studying, caring, and insisting with ot
Performance and public program"Due to the circumstances of the so-called Greek crisis, people have been encouraged to become politically and artistically active in new ways, as well as more self-reliant and self-managing, which seems to suggest a shift in the social dimensions and implications of art making. The artistic collective Mkultra launches a collaborative project involving artists, archit
The Shape of CircleA performance-lecture-walk about Omonoia Square by Mass/Mkultra17 April - 24 May 2019But the circle is a trap. You don’t need to go beyond it. Its enough to make circles around the square, to turn and look from all sides, without making a step beyond it. We are just standing there looking. There are many of us that we have fallen into this trap of quietly looking at the depth of
Performance presented at National Theatre of Greece
performance lecture and artistic research project in collaboration with Hypatia Vourloumis presented at "Spielart Festival", Munich, "What now" Festival, London and "performance Potentials" London
The aim of the study was to explore inter-rater reliability and rater experiences of applying the universal instrument Assessment of Learning Process (ALP) with persons with profound intellectual and multiple disabilities. The study used a mixed-methods design. Inter-rater reliability was tested by eight clinical raters who assessed 23 video clips of people learning to use a powered AKKA mobility
Instituting (Athens, 2021)What could processes of self-organizing and collective making look like in the current landscape? In what ways might they affect public processes of social improvisation? How might such forms of “instituting” give rise to other forms of institutions? Inviting theoretical as well as practical approaches, this edition of the New Alphabet School studies “instituting” as an i

A city wide two week public program"A peripatetic public program on Hills and Fields of Athens invite us to examine together the ephemeral habitations in public space under the current circumstances and explore the possibilities for intervention, resistance and joy. To reflect upon the emergent urban geographies and hegemonies and rethinking the relationship between art practice and mental health,
In this paper, we investigate the distributional properties of the estimated tangency portfolio (TP) weights assuming that the asset returns follow a matrix variate closed skew-normal distribution. We establish a stochastic representation of the linear combination of the estimated TP weights that fully characterizes its distribution. Using the stochastic representation we derive the mean and variaIn this paper, we investigate the distributional properties of the estimated tangency portfolio (TP) weights assuming that the asset returns follow a matrix variate closed skew-normal distribution.

Glucose transporters (GLUTs) are responsible for transporting hexose molecules across cellular membranes. In adipocytes, insulin stimulates glucose uptake by redistributing GLUT4 to the plasma membrane. In unstimulated adipose-like mouse cell lines, GLUT4 is known to be retained intracellularly by binding to TUG protein, while upon insulin stimulation, GLUT4 dissociates from TUG. Here, we report t
Recent scandals in Iran's province of Gilan have exposed a deep-seated hypocrisy within the Islamic regime, revealing a contradiction between public moral posturing and private conduct.High-ranking officials have been caught in explicit acts, leading to public outrage. These scandals are not isolated incidents but reflect a systemic failure to uphold Islamic laws and moral codes, calling into ques
Leaked emails have revealed the Iran Experts Initiative (IEI), a covert network designed by the Islamic Republic of Iran’s diplomatic unit. Initiated in 2014, the IEI aimed to enhance Iran’s global sway by infiltrating think tanks. These leaks spotlight connections between Iranian experts and the Biden administration, extending the IEI’s influence even to European think tanks. This discovery under
Archaeological data repositories usually manage excavation data collections as project-level entities with restricted capacities to facilitate search or aggregation of excavation data at the sub-collection level (trenches, finds, season reports or excavation diaries etc.). More granular access to excavation data collections would enable layered querying across their informational content. In the p
Self-adaptation enables software to execute successfully in dynamic, unpredictable, and uncertain environments. However, most of the current approaches lack formal guarantees on the effectiveness and dependability of the adaptation mechanisms, limiting their applicability in practice. Control theory established a broad set of mathematically grounded techniques for the control of dynamic systems fo
In embedded computing domains, including the automotive industry, complex functionalities are split across multiple tasks that form task chains. These tasks are functionally dependent and communicate partial computations through shared memory slots based on the Logical Execution Time (LET) paradigm. This paper introduces a model that captures the behavior of a producer-consumer pair of tasks in a
Modern embedded software includes complex functionalities and routines, often implemented by splitting the code across different tasks. Such tasks communicate their partial computations to their successors, forming a task chain. Traditionally, this architecture relies on the assumption of hard deadlines and timely communication. However, in actual implementations, tasks may miss their deadlines, t
Security attacks on sensor data can deceive a control system and force the physical plant to reach an unwanted and potentially dangerous state. Therefore, attack detection mechanisms are employed in cyber-physical control systems to detect ongoing attacks, the most prominent one being a threshold-based anomaly detection method called CUSUM. Literature defines the maximum impact of stealth attacks
