description: This book will enable general education teachers, special educators, specialist scientists and therapists, parents/guardians, carers and social partners to more effectively address the special needs of people with intellectual disabilities. In particular, it focuses on describing the developmental course of the social, emotional and communicative characteristics of people with intellectual disabilities and especially of people with Down syndrome. Extensively demonstrates appropriate social skills and targeted intervention strategies in an inclusive educational field. Emphasizes the necessary adaptations to the curriculum through evidence based practices in support of positive social behavior. The present issues are important and we believe that the present work comes to fill a gap in the field of studying the social development of children with intellectual disabilities and Down syndrome in general education. Adaptive and social skills seem to help people with intellectual disabilities to interact appropriately in their familiar environment and to generalize their social skills in new environments. During adolescence, interactions and close, quality friendships between peers become increasingly important for personal and social well-being. The role of the family in the successful inclusion of the child with intellectual disability and Down syndrome in the general school is also crucial.

description: The book describes fundamental concepts of bank management and new trends in the banking industry. Banks face increasing challenges from the globalization of money and capital markets, the introduction of new technologies, the emergence of financial crises, the changing climatic conditions, and the outbreak of pandemics (e.g., Covid-19), which directly affect their operation and long-term survival. These revolutionary changes directly challenge traditional banking strategies, requiring the adoption of modern crisis and risk management techniques in a rapidly changing financial landscape. The book introduces the financial system and its structure (central bank, commercial banks, investment banks, etc.), and presents the strategic role of banks. Here the basic mechanisms of banking, the intermediary nature of banks, and the evaluation of their position in the financial system are analyzed. In addition, the concepts, principles, and methodologies of banking marketing are introduced, where the traditional and modern tools for the promotion of banking services are developed. Also, the accounting statements of banking institutions, their asset and liability management techniques, and their financial ratios are presented. In addition, the policy of bank lending is analyzed, in conjecture to credit risks (“red loans”). Also, the most important strategies of banking institutions are discussed, such as the realization of acquisitions & mergers, the creation of financial groups, and the use of new technologies, where their effects on the traditional banking functions are evaluated, especially their effects on the retail banking networks. In addition, the concept of crises is explained, and it is shown how crises affect banking institutions and their strategies. Also, the phenomenon of international expansion of banks and the different forms of their internationalization are investigated. The whole analysis specializes in the Greek economy and the domestic banking system.

description: This book is intended for teaching, mainly at graduate level but it can be used at advanced undergraduate level too. At the beginning fundamental concepts of Analytical Mechanics are introduced, generalized coordinates, constraints, displacements, virtual displacements, virtual work.  Then Lagrange’s formalism follows where d’ Alembert’s principle is introduced , the constrain forces, the inverse problem of Mechanics.  Next Hamilton’s principle is described  and  elements of  the theory of  variations. Applications to General Relativity follow. Problems with boundary conditions for free boundaries are discussed. The principle of gravity wave detection  is given.   We refer to the path integral approach  of quantum mechanics. The idea of symmetries is introduced with theorems of conservation for discrete systems. Motion in a Schwarzschild  field is studied. The lagrangian formulation in special relativity follows.  We continue next to the Hamiltonian formalism, with Hamilton’s equations. We refer to Ostrogradsky’s theorem.  The canonical transformations are introduced and the generating function of the transform is given.  The Poisson brackets follow with the equations of motion with these brackets.  Then we study the infinitesimal canonical transformations together with the corresponding conservation theorems.  We say something about quantization. The concept of Dirac’s brackets is given and their relation to quantization.  The method of Hamilton-Jacobi is studied, and the concept of actions-angles as canonical variables is introduced.  The Theory of Classical Fields is the next subject together with Noether’s theorems for fields. The spontaneous symmetry breaking in classical physics is presented. The theory of disturbance is analyzed and the concept of adiabatic invariance is introduced. An introduction to Non Linear Dynamical Systems is given including parametric resonance and classical chaos. A special subject treated is self-excitation – synchronization. This is observed naturally in several phenomena. At the end, several appendices exist where a detailed analysis of various subjects is given that completes the one given in the chapters of the main book.

description: Biomimetics draws inspiration from the properties of organisms that live in nature, in various habitats, and deals with the simulation of their characteristic properties. Structures and properties from the living matter of nature (e.g., hydrophobic, optical, thigmotropic, tactile), which have been proven to be adapted to long-term environmental stress, revealed by research and used by technology, do create jobs, useful and innovative products, for the benefit of human activity. Internationally, this is a rapidly growing scientific specialization that encourages interdisciplinarity, interaction of ideas, novelties and bioinspiration. Biomimicry is linked to the deceptive imitation of an organism's characteristics by another organism for deception, attraction, or defense; for example, flowers of some plants mimic, as they open and display, certain insects in order to attract them. Also, several insects mimic the foliage of trees and shrubs in order to avoid being noticed by consumers. This e-book presents properties of living organisms that are a "cast" for technology, innovative aspects of research, technological achievements, and future technological challenges and prospects. In other words, the book "Biomimetics and Biomimics" highlights the pre-existing "information" in the “laboratories” of nature, which is currently implemented in innovative anthropogenic constructions. The technological success of Biomimetics is directly related to the properties of the living matter of nature, which are based on long scale, painstaking scientific research. Results obtained using modern infrastructures, sparked many ideas and subsequent bio-inspired applications. Within each of αabove mentioned topics, nature is conceived as a complex and technologically mediated point of departure for new ways of viewing and making the world. Finally, the topics of biomimetic and biomimicry are coordinated with human life, in an era that is characterized and/or recognized as the threshold-period of climatic change and shortage of energy resources on Earth.

description: Information Theory and Coding Theory have been deeply intertwined since their origins, marked by Claude Shannon’s famous paper “A Mathematical Theory of Communication” in 1948. In contrast, Cryptography, though closely linked to Information and Coding Theories, dates back to ancient times. The distinction among these fields is primarily for technical and educational clarity. This book, intended for both science students and self-learners, focuses exclusively on Algebraic Coding Theory. However, it also aims to illustrate the necessity, power, and elegance of Mathematics. The mathematical prerequisites are modest; a basic understanding of Linear Algebra and Probability, along with some familiarity with polynomials over a field, will suffice as a starting point. Beyond these specific requirements, a general “mathematical maturity” is essential. The material is initially accessible to readers without advanced mathematical expertise, but it gradually increases in complexity, offering opportunities for deeper exploration. Efforts have been made to structure the sections as independently as possible, allowing flexibility in the order of study, whether in a classroom setting or during self-study. For a detailed overview of each chapter, please refer to the book’s table of contents. Each section contains numerous examples and exercises. Throughout the text, you will find prompts like “we can easily see that…,” “it is not difficult to prove that…,” “the proof is left as an exercise…”, along with thought-provoking “why?” questions, encouraging active engagement. At the end of each chapter, a recommended bibliography is provided, encouraging interested readers to delve deeper into the subject matter.

description: Diseases and their treatment, substances that are in our natural environment and can work therapeutically from the beginning of history, synthetic medicines from their first administration to the present day, are the subject of this project. The concepts related to the therapeutic action of drugs, whether synthetic or natural, are mentioned in as simple a form as possible, and information is provided on how to develop new medicinal products as well as the methods used to ensure their safe and effective use. Even in the first decades of the 21st century, 80% of people (as announced by the World Health Organization) base their primary health care on herbal products. The same WHO announcement states that about 21,000 natural products are used for pharmaceutical use. Some of the categories of natural products that have biological effects such as alkaloids, glycosides, amino acids, terpenes, steroids and hormones are the chapters of this book. For reasons of completeness, but also to understand the effect of the structure of substances on their biological effectiveness, in most cases the structural chemical formula of these compounds is mentioned as well as the change in their activity that causes any modification of this structure. Briefly, at the end of the book are presented alphabetically registered and with a small development all the basic concepts and terms that were developed throughout the book.

description: This book provides an introduction to the theory and application of measurement in education and psychology. Topics include test development, item writing, item analysis, reliability, dimensionality, and item response theory. These topics come together in overviews of validity and, finally, test evaluation. Validity and test evaluation are based on both qualitative and quantitative analysis of the properties of a measure. This book addresses the qualitative side using a simple argument-based approach. The quantitative side is addressed using descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, all of which are presented and visualized within the statistical environment R. The intended audience for this book includes advanced undergraduate and graduate students, practitioners, researchers, and educators. Knowledge of R is not a prerequisite to using this book. However, familiarity with data analysis and introductory statistics concepts, especially ones used in the social sciences, is recommended.

description: The textbook is intended to serve the educational needs of the courses related to the subject of Electrical Machines, taught in the departments of Electrical and Computer Engineering, as well as in other departments of technical faculties of the Higher Educational Institutions of the country. It mainly deals with the laboratory practice accompanying the most common categories of DC and AC Electrical Machines (DC and AC), namely, single-phase and three-phase transformers, DC motors and generators, and DC motors and generators. Each laboratory application begins by setting the minimum learning objectives, and continues with a brief but necessary theoretical analysis, describing the phenomenon to be examined and studied by the student. Then, the laboratory equipment required to carry it out is listed, followed, in a methodical manner, by the process of connections and the necessary steps and measurements. Calculations requested during the realisation of the exercise are also encountered. In addition, as part of the homework, the student is asked -among other things- to draw characteristic functions (graphs of correlation of quantities) that verify the corresponding theory, but also to explain, at his/her discretion and knowledge gained, specific questions posed to him/her about the phenomena of the Electrical Machines studied. Other features of this series of laboratory applications are that they use: a) actual assembled Electric Machines and b) limited Mathematics, resulting in a greater emphasis on the physical understanding of the relevant theories. It is noted, however, that the absence of advanced Mathematics has not removed the technical rigour. The educational method is experimental and directly applicable, thus offering enough flexibility to be adapted to 'energy' courses of study. In general, the content of the present text has been formulated mainly with a view to the simple but comprehensive analysis that a technical textbook for students of higher education institutions with a specialization in Energy Electrical Engineering should have.

description:
The prospects of cultivation of floricultural products and the levels of their consumption are related, directly or indirectly, to sustainable management and production costs. The future of floricultural crops depends on the implementation of environmental friendly farming practices, and presupposes such practices. These practices are associated with reduced inputs of energy, fertilisers, plant protection products and water, and help reduce pollutants, toxic residues and CO2 footprints. The international protocols and directives presented by international organizations ensure the reduction of the ecological footprint of every operation of production. In this context, the above scenarios aim towards that direction as well as growers being adjusted to contemporary cultivation practices.
This is a textbook for undergraduate students. It includes information and latest research data related to the systematic cultivation and production of floricultural plants. In detail, the textbook is divided into fifteen chapters, which include bibliographic data on a) the physiology of growth and flowering, b) the propagation methods and the management of propagating material, c) the most important diseases and pests that negatively affect growth and production, d) the basic techniques that aid in faster and more qualitative flowering, e) the current status of domestic and international trade, marketing and distribution of ornamental plants and (f) the most important floricultural crops, grown domestically and on a global scale under controlled conditions, or outdoors.

description:
The present book is a textbook and, hence, has not the character of a research and does not claim to be original. For pedagogical reasons, the footnotes are rare and there are no references to non-Greek bibliography. On the contrary, it is full of internal references, from Chapter to Chapter and from Section to Section. It is structured around the interpretation of long passages from great phenomenological texts.

The title of the book is “phenomenology of intersubjectivity” and the subtitle includes four names: Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Levinas.
The “Phenomenology of Intersubjectivity” thematizes how the Others are given to us. It investigates which experiences are the most critical in order for the Others to appear as such as well as how these experiences are associated with the way in which we experience our own selves. For, as it will be demonstrated, the Others are always there before ourselves.
The four names correspond to four figures of the phenomenological movement, its two founders and two great French phenomenologists. The debts between them as well as the gaps and the changes of perspective create a unique philosophical discussion that draws readers’ full attention, on condition that they get familiar with the technical vocabulary used (that I have tried to keep to a minimum). If this is not the case, the blame is to be put on the book.

description: This book analyzes in depth a class of techniques applied to the so-called "smart antennas". Smart antennas are a class of antenna arrays, which have the ability to steer their radiation beam toward a desired user, thus enhancing the signal reception from this user, while suppressing the reception of any unwanted signals, which can be transmitted at the same time from other directions and therefore could interfere with the reception of the desired signal. This means that smart antennas have the ability to produce a dynamic radiation pattern, i.e., a radiation pattern constantly changing in real time, so as to optimize the reception of the desired signal and suppress all interference signals. The difficulty in implementing such antennas lies in the fact that users, who are served by modern wireless communication networks (such as 5G or beyond 5G wireless networks), are constantly moving in a real environment, while the need for broadband connection is growing. Therefore, a base station antenna, which receives a number of signals from several users at the same time, must properly shape its radiation pattern, so that at any given moment the main lobe is steered toward the desired signal, while at the same time radiation nulls are placed toward respective directions of arrival of unwanted signals. This process is constantly repeated in real time as users move within the geographical service area. Τhis book provides (1) the mathematical formulation and analysis of the most popular beamforming techniques applied to smart antenna arrays according to the requirements in force, and (2) the mathematical formulation and analysis of the most popular direction-of-arrival estimation techniques applied to signals received by a smart antenna array.

description: This book approaches and outlines the concept of learning and the difficulties and disorders in reading, spelling and writing and suggests flexible, dynamic and effective ways of their diagnosing and management, based on valid research data, studies and scientific researches. It is a holistic approach to learning, to the disorders and difficulties of reading, spelling and writing, which associates learning theories with modern and effective teaching approaches. In each chapter, the theoretical analysis that comes first is followed by useful didactic suggestions, which make the best of  the theoretical framework. In particular, the learning theories of reading, spelling and writing are analyzed and described and indicative didactic approaches are suggested for their development. In addition, a systematic distinction between the difficulties and disorders of reading, spelling and writing is made and the theoretical framework for the diagnosis of these difficulties and disorders is presented. Finally, the most modern didactic approach to the difficulties and disorders of reading, spelling and writing in the context of inclusion is presented. The concepts of didactic inclusion, the conditions, the potentials, the concerns, the steps for its implementation, the role of the teacher in the whole process are analyzed and effective teaching approaches based on research data with solid theoretical coverage are suggested, providing an organized framework for design, implementation and evaluation of facilitative learning environments.

In Europe, Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) systems are organized in two basic ways:
1) The facilities are separate for younger children and older children. For children under-3s. focus is given in childcare  and in settings of pre - school education while for older children emphasis is given in educational goals.
2) Unitary settings for the whole age range, up until the start of primary education. Both care and early education form an integral part of the provision in unitary settings.
In most European countries ECEC is provided in two separate types of facilities based on children's ages. This monograph provides an up-to-date analysis of the ECEC systems in European countries, especially for children under-3s. First of all the historical trajectory, organization, and quality of  the ECEC systems in European countries are presented. Moreover the five quality dimensions of the ECEC systems in European countries such as governance and financing, access, staff, educational guidance, evaluation and monitoring are separately presented. The findings reveal that there is still some way to ensure access and quality of the ECEC systems in European countries. Universal access as well as high quality and integration of ECEC services have not been achieved so far in many European countries. The types of ECEC services and their quality differ according to children's age in most parts of Europe. Good quality ECEC for children under age 3 is not available in many European countries yet. Accessibility, availability and affordability for children is considerably better for older children than those under the age of 3. Staff qualification requirements are higher for staff working with older than for those working with younger children. Only a few of European ECEC systems have established evaluation systems for structural and process quality.

description: This monograph contributes to the literature on the development of a community and socially oriented mental health care system. Decades of psychiatric reform in Greece have significantly contributed to the promotion and protection of human rights of persons with mental disorders and to their quality of life. Recently, the community care model has been strengthened by new approaches, such as the recovery model, that places emphasis on the empowerment of persons with extreme mental experiences while acknowledging their personal experiences as sources of knowledge and meaning. This book serves these contemporary approaches, through applying this cutting-edge literature in the specific field of psychosis. The first part consists of a scientifically grounded review of contemporary literature regarding understanding and treating psychosis. The second part presents findings of an innovative research study that utilized a narrative biographical approach to bring forth the testimonies of persons with psychosis. Through the participant testimonies, we trace the life experiences before the emergence of psychosis and the social factors that possibly contributed to it. We also present the ways in which participants experienced, understood and managed their psychotic experiences. Given the dynamic integration of new scientific fields, such as community clinical psychology and the sociology of health and illness, in Undergraduate and Postgraduate Programs of study, this book provides a useful resource for students, researchers and professionals who wish to work in a person-centered direction of understanding and dealing with mental distress and to develop professional practices that support recovery, something that is the declared goal for contemporary mental health professionals.

description:
Ultrasonography is a fundamental tool in every day
clinical practice in Emergency Medicine and Critical
Care. The skills in order to handle this tool in the critical
care patients at its best should be obtained after standardized
education. The advantages of Critical Care Ultrasonography
have long been identified, as it can answer
clinical questions and guide management (diagnostics,
invasive procedures, monitoring). As it happens
with every technological advancement, in order
to gain the most benefit clinicians should combine
knowledge gained from special treatment, with the
skills. Thus, the potential for specific education on acquisition
and interpretation of ultrasonographic images
from every organ of the human body should be provided
to every Critical Care physician. Moreover, every
educational program should be accompanied with an
integrated approach of theoretical education on ultrasonography.
The present manual aims at providing the
basic theoretical knowledge on ultrasonography, so
that Critical Care Ultrasound can become a prerequisite
examination, combined with clinical evaluation of
the patients, to reach the diagnosis and monitor the efficacy
of treatments followed. Special attention should
be paid in the hemodynamic evaluation of the patients,
as hemodynamic instability and its treatment are everyday
problems that critical care doctors must deal
with. Therefore, using critical care ultrasonography,
the physician should be able to differentiate shock (obstructive,
cardiogenic, distributive, hypovolemic), manipulate
ventilator settings, guide the weaning process.
In the present manual, the first three chapters are
dedicated to the basics in ultrasonography and the
principles of echocardiographic image acquisition in
transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.
The rest seven chapters refer to the basic pathological
conditions of the heart that a critical care doctor should
be able to identify. Chapters 11 and 12 concern lung ultrasonography
and transcranial ultrasound, that represent
fundamental skills for the physicians dealing with
critical care patients in the Intensive Care Unit and the
Emergency Department, as they can substitute chest
x-rays and computed tomography scans, preventing
the patients from being exposed to unnecessary radiation
and reducing unnecessary patient transfer.

description: Energy, as a fundamental resource of great importance for the profitability of a company or for the development of an economy, needs sound management in order to deliver what is anticipated. Furthermore, natural resources are being evaluated by humans and their value is being assessed according to their function or the activity they contribute to. In this context, after the economic dimension of ecological systems is presented, the relationship between environment and economic development is then explained by describing the balance between economy and environment, the relationship between economic prosperity and environmental quality, the competitive and monopolistic markets, the effects on economy and trade by the response measures to environmental problems and the correlation between population, economy and environment. Next, the economics and management of natural resources are being analyzed, the economics of recycling (economic implications from the depletion of natural resources, economics of recycling and solid waste management, economic analysis of recycling programs - case studies) and the economics of environmental standards and environmental incentives. The analysis then focuses on energy and energy resources where the basic concepts and units of energy are provided, the forms of energy are presented, the laws of thermodynamics are analyzed and the electrical and nuclear energy as well as the renewable forms of energy (hydrodynamic energy, wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass etc.) are described. Afterwards, a detailed reference to the theoretical framework of energy management is made, where the basic principles of energy management are described and concepts such as the rational use of energy, energy auditing, energy security and energy development strategy are introduced. Finally, the current greek and international energy situation is presented, both in terms of energy consumption and production as well as in terms of energy reserves.

description: This book concerns the design of technology enhanced learning experiences considering teaching as a design science. It also covers the orchestration, the learning activity management and the reflection of the implementation of educational scenarios, in order to improve the scenarios per se as well as the ability to design and teach. Upon becoming acquainted with the field of Technology Enhanced Learning and Learning Design, the studier is introduced to selected design methodologies and generalized design patterns for educational materials and scenarios. Moreover, through case studies, the studier is guided to develop the ability to design educational scenarios that will make effective use of digital educational technologies both as information media as well as cognitive tools, in order to transform conventional pedagogical practices into more constructivist ones. Digital learning materials, as a building block of educational scenarios, are systematically classified into generalized interaction models with graded interactivity. This graduation supports designing with a controlled level of interactivity and utilization of modern teaching methods. The theoretical part of the book, which is independent of educational level, is completed by the assessment of learning and by reviewing the effectiveness of the scenarios based on their implementation experience, individually, in groups and within designer communities. Finally, case studies of implementing educational scenarios in real-life situations are analyzed and organized in sections, such as cross-thematic scenarios, mobile learning with the use of augmented reality and mobile devices, computational thinking and educational robotics, etc. Case studies focus on preschool education, although the scenario patterns can be useful in any educational setting. The textbook mainly concerns students of the Departments of Education and Preschool Education, as well as of Departments whose students attend courses for teacher license.

description: This book describes the most significant metallic mineral deposits of Greece and the conditions of their formation in relation to the geotectonic evolution of the Hellenides. Emphasis is given on the geology, the tectonics, the host rocks, and the mineralogical and geochemical composition of these deposits. The chapters of this book refer to the brief historical background of the mining activity in Greece since the prehistoric period, to the geotectonic evolution and metallogenesis, and to the classification of the Greek deposits in the different metallogenic provinces. The orthomagmatic Cr deposits in ophiolite complexes, the volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits, as well as the metamorphic Mn-rich deposits, all of Mesozoic age, are described. The book also refers in details to the mineralization, which is associated with the Cenozoic magmatism, and is restricted mainly in the two large exhumed metamorphic complexes of Greece, the Rhodope and Serbo-Macedonian massifs in the north and the Attic-Cycladic belt in the south. These mineralizations include intrusion-hosted, skarn, carbonate-hosted replacement, porphyry and epidermal deposits. The Cenozoic polymetallic veins hosted in metamorphic rocks, the oxidized Fe, Mn, and Zn deposits, the Fe-Ni laterite deposits, the Al-bearing bauxite deposits, the Au, Pt, and REE enriched placer deposits, and the metal-bearing hydrothermal fields in the South Aegean active volcanic arc and in Central and Northern Greece are also described. At the end of the book, there is a review of the presence of rare and critical metals in the deposits of Greece, while the last chapter provides detailed geological and mineralogical data of two important metallogenic regions of southeastern Europe, in NE Chalkidiki and in Lavrion.

This book is an introduction to modern Cartography as it can be approached through Geographical Information Systems. Moreover, Cartography is considered to be an integral and interrelated part of GIS. The book is written in a comprehensive manner and is primarily addressed to undergraduate students of the Department of Geography, School of Environment, Geography and Applied Economics of Harokopio University. It is one of the books used in the undergraduate modules "Introduction to Cartography", "Thematic Cartography" and "Geographic Information Systems I". Secondly, it is addressed to anyone who would like to expand their knowledge and skills in Cartography, map composition, and the way in which Geographic Information Systems may be used as a tool in Chartography.
This academic book is the outcome of the composition of two different books written in English, which are available under open licenses: Mapping, Society and Technology by Steven Manson (editor) and Essentials of Geographical Information Systems by Jonathan Campbell and Michael Shin. Specific chapters were selected from the above two books and translated into Greek.
The book consists of 14 chapters. Apart fromr the examples that focus on the geographical and social particularity of the USA the author team supplementarily added paradigms that have to do with the Greek reality. The main aim of this addition is for the Greek readers to understand in a better way the theoretical context of Cartography through paradigms that are more understandable.

description:
.Optometry is an autonomous profession in the field of health, which requires special training and is governed by specific rules.
The science of Optometry includes a number of special techniques for diagnosing and investigating optometric problems. Visual acuity is the measurement of the ability to distinguish two stimuli, which are separated in space, in high contrast compared to the background. Visual acuity is a measure of a person's ability to analyze minimal details. The recording of visual acuity is used to evaluate the adequacy of corrective glasses but also as a general indicator of eye health and good vision function. Visual acuity is also used to assess whether or not a person is capable of driving a vehicle or hired for certain professions. Sensitivity of light contrast is a psychophysical examination of the quality of vision. It is based on the change of the spatial frequency of the fixed targets, either by the projection of stimuli of gradual damping of its intensity, or by the formation of a periodic increase and decrease of it (as in gratings), which usually differ only in spatial frequency. Emmetropia is the ideal refractive effect in which the distal point of clear vision is at infinity. When the distal point is not at the infinity, the effect is called ametropia, the eye is called ametropic leading to a blurred vision.
Adaption is a change in the visual power of the eye in order to form a clear image at different distances. This is achieved by the "mechanism" of adjustment. As a normal part of the aging process, the lens becomes less elastic with age due to the hardening of the lens fibers and capsular changes. The provision of eye health services requires excellent record keeping and data collection. Comprehensive record keeping ensures the continuity of eye care, meets medical and legal requirements and highlights professionalism.

description: The book deals with the content of modern sociological theories and in particular theories and research findings that emerged during the transition to the 21st century, at a time that seems to be the beginning of an increasing complexity of social problems. It is also a period in which sociological theory faces the challenges of a multifaceted reality with new explanatory and interpretive tools, maintaining on the one hand the connection with the classics, and on the other hand trying to understand and intervene scientifically in socially differentiated environments from those corresponding to the historical development of classical sociological theories. In particular, most of the new Sociological theories challenge, as discussed in the book, sociological monism and extend to multi-paradigmatic sociological references and, moreover, develop comparative theoretical models based mainly on the historicity and diversity of cultural patterns. The starting point of these theories, as well as their extension to the postmodern is the Weberian tradition and the subjectively implied performance of social meaning, as well as the rise and importance of the hermeneutic passage in linguistic-symbolic meaningful acts and intentions of social actors according to action plans that they have devised themselves. This starting point led to discontinuities and ruptures with the classical reading of the objective world, as well as to the development of New Historical Sociology, Social Phenomenology, as well as to new versions of Social Constructivism and the Sociology of Knowledge. In general, these approaches particularly emphasize the historical variability of symbolic social structures by criticizing structuralism. Finally, the book explores the possibilities of "conversation" between sociological trends and the cognitive sciences, as well as Sociobiology.

description: This book aims to cover the range of knowledge and practices followed in the context of the “Hellenic Cadastre in Operation”. Through literature research, online platforms and libraries in a national and international context, the framework for the creation of a knowledge base on technical, legal, and environmental science related to the Cadastre is set. The basic concepts and definitions for the general land administration systems in both international and national contexts in which they were developed, are following. This book indicates the technical procedures for land survey and registration in relation to the quality and accuracy of the data submitted, and the way possible errors and problems are dealt with by the Cadastre. The book analyses the basic principles and procedures for the operation of the Greek Land Register in order to address specific important issues, such as the surface area and geometrical characteristics of real estate. The changes and related corrections to cadastral entries are described, with particular emphasis on spatial changes, and the procedure for dealing with them. The framework for adapting cadastral charts due to redefinition of the location and boundaries of plots at national and international level is presented. Basic knowledge of administrative acts leading to massive changes is given and the procedure for registering them in the Cadastre is described. The database and IT system of the Hellenic Cadastre (SPEK) are described and analyzed. The procedure for the electronic submission of topographical charts relating to legal acts in rem and legal actions is analyzed. Finally, the trends and prospects of cadastral systems internationally are approached from a critical point of view and briefly assessed, with particular emphasis on the Swiss cadastral system as a model of operation and organization.

description: In recent decades, significant changes have taken place in the "philosophy" of pig production, with a direct impact on the productive and reproductive parameters of sows, and consequently on the management of farms worldwide. More specifically, pig farming has focused mainly on the genetic improvement of sows to create high prolific sows, with the aim of increasing the size of the calving group, as well as the rapid growth capacity of fattening pigs. These new directions are accompanied by significant changes and effects on the health and welfare of sows and their piglets. Veterinary Science is called upon to contribute both to the utilization of the genetic improvement of pigs (increased multiplicity, rapid growth capacity) and the treatment of its effects on the health, welfare and productivity of pigs. In this direction, research in Veterinary Science is evolving rapidly, utilizing innovative tools and technological development. Increased litter size in modern industrial farms is a key goal of pig farmers and veterinarians. The handbook aims to support undergraduate students and professional veterinarians both in understanding pathology issues and the management of high prolific sows, and in managing the effects of increased litter size on their health and welfare. In particular, this textbook analyzes: 1) pathophysiological and environmental risk factors for the health and welfare of high prolific sows, 2) effects of the increased litter size on the health and welfare of the sows, 3) the importance and the characteristics of the colostrum/milk, 4)  health problems of the newborn piglets with increased litter size and 5) treatment of the effects of the increased litter size on the health and welfare of the piglets.

description: This book contains the chapters of “Fluid Mechanics” that are considered essential for Naval Architects. It starts with the basic theory of Fluid Dynamics which is also useful for a more general audience, like the fluid kinematics and the equations of fluid motion, the theory of dimensional analysis and the theory of boundary layers. In the introductory chapters there is systematic use of vector analysis, which facilitates the derivation of the equations of fluid motion. Subsequently, two areas of fluid mechanics which are useful specifically to Naval Architects are covered, namely the theory of lifting flows and the theory of water waves. The theory of lifting flows, which consists of the theory of thin hydrofoils and of the theory of lifting surfaces, is an essential tool for the analysis and design of marine propellers. The theory of water waves is a required knowledge for the computation of the wave resistance of ships and the analysis of the dynamics of ships in the ocean. As both areas, lifting flows and water waves, rely upon the assumption of irrotational flow, the book contains a chapter where the theory of irrotational flow is covered rather extensively. Finally, solved exercises have been included in all chapters to aid with the understanding of the theory.

description: The study of histomorphological alterations refers to the macroscopic and microscopic examination of tissues and organs in order to detect deviations from the normal macroscopic or histological image. The whole procedure is done after taking a biopsy, processing the sample and taking histological slides. A prerequisite for a successful study is the very good knowledge of the normal histological structure. Knowledge of the observed histomorphological lesions in aquatic animal is a professional and encyclopedic tool for biologists, agriculturalists and veterinarians. The book covers a wide range of macroscopic and microscopic alterations that occur in fish and aquatic decapod crustaceans. The main goal is the smooth transition from the normal imaging of an organism to the recognition of macroscopic and microscopic alterations. For this reason, it was necessary to mention in detail the concepts and techniques of fish necropsy, tissue collection and preparation. The variety of images presented in this book will greatly contribute to the understanding and clarification of the various histological alterations.

description:
This book has been written primaly for postgraduate students of Pharmacy in order to have a modern text to complement lectures on the use of natural products in Cosmetology. However, it is also valuable  in other courses that include the study of natural products.
For centuries, products for external use, either for beautification or for the treatment of dermatological diseases, were completely of natural origin and consisted of herbs, animal products and inorganic ingredients.
As we age, our skin becomes dry, scaly, itchy, develops wrinkles, sun pigmentation and in some Consequently, it becomes less plesant to look and touch. In fact, we know that aging is evolutionary and only partially modifiable. At the same time, the equation "ugly skin (appearance) = ugly person" can lead to "aging stress".
This book aims to provide some tools in understanding the aging process and skin appearance what can or cannot be changed through the use of cosmetics . Consequently, it will facilitate the acceptance of the invariant and encourage further investigation of the processes that can be controlled.
In recent years, impressive new technologies have been developed to measure and asses skin aging. Therefore, the treatment of skin disorders observed during aging is facilitated.
This book presents recent scientific findings concerning natural products, as well as their action in the treatment of skin aging. The first two chapters deal with the physiology and structure of the skin. Then herbal drugs and marine organisms used in cosmetics are presented in alphabetic order. Moreover, moisturizing  products, pigments of natural origin, oils, fats and waxes used in cosmetics are mentioned. This is followed by chapters with  natural ingredients helpful,  in the treatment of skin diseases, such as acne, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis as well as wound healing . Finally, natural ingredients used in oral hygiene products are listed. The last chapter presents the theories related to the aging process and the role of neuropeptides in inflammation.

description: This innovative textbook presents the theories and applications of leisure and recreation in order to be used in both education and research, but also to be a guide to practical applications. The first part of the book consists of six chapters, through which the multidisciplinary nature of recreation is established, successfully connected with related sciences of leisure, related to outdoors, sports and arts. A combined analysis of the concepts of leisure and recreation is attempted in the general light of the sociological as well as the pedagogical concept. Fundamental principles are also analyzed, linking recreation to outdoor activities, tourism, adventure, management, and subdivision into sub-categories, depending on the type of services provided and the characteristics of the participating groups. The concept of leisure is then linked to sports and the psychological benefits of participating in structured and non-structured programs. Recreation is determined according to the biological functions of the human body, and the main mechanisms that form the stimulus for the human body are described. In addition, the basic theoretical knowledge for the wellbeing, through leisure activities, for the elderly is given and reference is made to the biological, psychological, and sociological theories of aging. Finally, the concepts of leisure, recreation, art, culture, creativity, through the body and somatic movement are correlated. The activities of yoga, pilates, dance and theater are analyzed, and they are related to natural environment and tourism. The second part of the book also consists of six chapters corresponding to the thematic areas of the chapters of the first part, which present good practices and applications of events, programs, and active leisure activities with the theme of sports, nature, arts.

description: The Monograph examines the impact of digital marketing as well as digital innovations on markets, consumers and businesses. An extensive list of topics related to Social Media Marketing, mobile marketing, viral marketing and the impact on advertising, brand awareness, consumer search and profiling, online privacy and online reviews was explored. At the same time, the impact of Social Media Marketing on various sectors of the economy such as tourism, health, politics, education and human resource management was examined. In addition, the emerging area of mobile advertising is being considered, which can further improve online targeting. The adoption of smartphones by consumers is growing exponentially and offers marketers many new opportunities to reach out and serve customers. However, are consumers ready for marketing via their smartphones? Among other things, the research aims to investigate the willingness of consumers to accept marketing via Smartphones. Many of consumer data are transmitted to salespeople, and much of online advertising is transmitted to consumers through platforms such as Google. While online retail has grown rapidly, it still has a relatively small share of retail sales. Given the increased availability of detailed consumer data, channel sales are being explored, which highlights strategies for the various points of contact leading to a transaction. Finally, special attention has been paid to the crisis of the pandemic, therefore the penetration of Social Media Marketing in business activities has increased. The importance of the use of communication marketing tools as well as Social Media Marketing is pointed out.

description:
Nowadays it is more than ever critical for every firm to properly manage all the issues related to each financial operation. Modern companies and organizations must be able to identify and manage any problem that may arise, both internally and externally. The person that is in charge of this task is the Corporate Treasurer, a modern financial manager.
This introductory textbook describes all the tasks and the available financial tools for a company’s treasury department, to make optimal decisions on issues related to funding management, risk management, day-to-day transactions, and relationship with shareholders lenders, stakeholders and other organizations of the society and economy. Our scope is not only to theoretically present those issues. Instead, we accompany them with an analytical presentation of financial tools, methods, and indicators that will help students to proceed to the next step, being able to apply in practice each one of them. For that scope, we use both sources from international literature, and specialized websites for financial "Treasurers" and financial management worldwide, in most of the chapters of the textbook.
We hope that this work will fill an existed gap in the greek literature, where the functions of the treasury department are mainly included as subsets of the broader field of financial management. In this textbook, we analyze and focus on very specific functions and tools associated with this company's department, emphasizing financial strategy, funding, and risk management. The approach followed is explanatory to enable the reader with no in-depth knowledge of those issues of the textbook, to become familiar with them, achieving a better understanding of their importance in the decision-making process in the company level.

description: Home economics and development is the study of the family and the different types of family over time and depending on the needs and requirements of society, there are more than one family model. Family is a social group that is characterized by a dynamic development both in its form and in its content. Family is directly influenced by socio-economic changes and by the values and needs over time in specific societies. Family can be described as "urban" or "rural", depending on the area in which it lives, and as "nuclear" or "extended", depending on the people who live in the same house and share household chores. The study of marital status and the changes that occur at different times and places are a very important issue for anthropologists, ethnologists, sociologists, economists, and other researchers around the world. Furthermore, "home economics and development" is a course with important practical implications. It can contribute to social critique and practical social reform in a variety of ways. Initially, an improved understanding of a given set of socioeconomic conditions often gives everyone a better chance of controlling them. It also provides the means to raise cultural awareness and awareness of different cultural values. It can also explore the consequences (intentional or not) of adopting specific policy programs. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it offers groups and individuals an increased opportunity to change their living conditions.
