description: One of the ultimate goals of Robotics is the creation of intelligent systems (robots). These systems should have the ability to accept high-level descriptions of the tasks that they are asked to perform and perform them without further human intervention. High-level task descriptions specify what the user wants to do rather than how to do it. The progress that has been made in recent years towards intelligent systems has resulted in them being used to perform various tasks, such as waste management, space exploration, marine/undersea work, autonomous vehicles, medical applications etc. The development of the necessary technologies for the creation of intelligent systems that will be able to coexist with humans, cooperate with them but also with each other and generally share the same environment is a perspective which, in order to achieve it, many important problems must be solved. One of them is motion design, which is the central theme of this book. It can be formulated as follows: How can an intelligent system decide what moves to perform in order to move from an initial configuration to a final configuration? This capability is extremely necessary since, by definition, an intelligent system, in order to be able to perform the tasks assigned to it, must move into the real world. The minimum one would expect from an intelligent system is the ability to plan its own movements. This book consists of 9 chapters and each chapter of the book includes solved examples, exercises to solve and comprehension questions.

description: A significant part of dental science deals with the restoration or replacement of hard dental tissues lost due to various causes, in such a way as to restore the normal shape and size to the dental arch. Therefore, knowledge of the normal morphology of teeth is a prerequisite for those involved in dental restorative procedures (dentists and/or dental technicians) in order to achieve the desired outcome. The morphological and anatomical characteristics of each tooth individually, as well as collectively, play a significant role in both the proper function of the stomatognathic system and the aesthetics of the face. This specific book thoroughly describes all the morphological characteristics of natural teeth. The description is presented for each tooth separately, highlighting its unique features that distinguish it from others, either within its group or within the entire arch. Furthermore, a comparative evaluation is made between teeth of the same group, emphasizing the differences between right and left hemiarch teeth, upper and lower jaw teeth, and differences between deciduous and permanent teeth. Additionally, anatomical elements of the oral cavity are provided, as well as elements of tooth occlusion, which are considered essential for the correct and easier learning of tooth morphology and function. The entirety of the description is accompanied by numerous diagrams and images, as visualizing the morphological elements of teeth is a very effective way to learn their morphology.

description:
In this textbook, the most common hematological entities in pediatric hematology are analyzed. It is divided into four parts. Each part includes the clinical disorders corresponding to the cellular components of blood (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets), and the last part analyzes coagulation disorders. It is structured with questions and answers aimed at addressing everyday clinical practice questions. Representative pediatric cases are analyzed using information from the patient's history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.
The first part (chapters 1-16) focuses on red blood cells. The indices of red blood cells are interpreted, and an evaluation of anemia is performed. Specifically, hemolytic anemias are studied, with representative examples being hereditary spherocytosis, anemias in neonates, hemoglobinopathies represented by beta-thalassemia, nutritional anemias, and finally, aplastic anemia. The principles of red blood cell and platelet transfusion are also studied.
The second part (chapters 17-24) deals with disorders of white blood cells. Neutropenia, leukocytosis, and variations in the types of white blood cells are analyzed. An evaluation of acute leukemias is performed, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia being a representative example. This chapter also studies lymphomas and the investigation of lymphadenopathy. Additionally, myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndromes are analyzed.
The third part (chapter 25) examines platelet disorders. Thrombocytopenias, thrombocytopathies, and thrombocytosis are studied.
The fourth and final part (chapter 26) investigates blood coagulation problems, particularly bleeding disorders and thrombosis.

description: This academic book is an attempt to collect and present, in a didactic context, the knowledge and experience of the authors within the framework of their professional and research work, with the aim that it will reach the audiences of their academic courses in the field of Artful Learning and Teaching. The theme of the book focuses on the teaching and learning utilization of artworks and on the significant advantages of the aesthetic experience in the development of critically thinking citizens, who participate consciously and creatively in the educational and social reality of the 21st century. The book consists of two sections. In the first section, the role of Visual Arts in the Greek Curriculum of primary education is explored, the process of artworks’ critical “reading” in terms of visual literacy is described and relevant teaching strategies are suggested. Special reference is made to Harvard’s Project “Artful Thinking” approach and thinking routines. Also, selection criteria and copyright issues of artworks related to the presentation of reliable digital art and cultural repositories, are discussed. In addition, the educational utilization of Applied Arts to create an authentic learning framework is mentioned. Special emphasis is given on Digital Storytelling as a modern art form, which is a dynamically developing teaching approach with wide educational application. The first section is concluded by highlighting the value of works of art in building a culture of inclusion in the contemporary school. In the second section, selected examples of artful teaching practices and lesson plans in the form of exercises and activities are presented, so that they can be used in the practical part of the course. The exercises draw on strategies and teaching tools of the Artful Thinking approach and focus on the thematic units explored in the first section. Overall, the academic book is the culmination of the writing team’s long engagement with the subject of integrating Arts in teaching practice. As the team of authors has gained significant experience, the time has come to share their ideas with the educational, student and academic community.

Material handling

Facilities design

description:
The layout is the correct arrangement of the machines within the industrial plant, similar to the representation of the skeleton of a human being.  Materials handling refers generally to all the internal movements of any type of material within the industrial plant, similar to the representation of the muscular system of a human being.  Consequently, it becomes obvious that the design priority in facilities has to be given to the plant layout, which is considered to be the skeleton of the whole. The materials handling system must be introduced upon its completion to complete the production process.
It has to be indicated that any malfunction in the correct arrangement of the machinery is not allowed, because any movement or changing of the position of any machine is a very difficult task.
There is a close relationship between plant layout and material handling. The materials handling technique will affect the plant layout and the factory building. A sound low-cost method can be designed and installed only if material handling has been considered an integral part of plant layouts.
 A well-designed arrangement of production equipment, the proper location of different departments, a logical sequence of operation within the department, and convenient location of store areas, tool cribs and similar activity centres are required for effective materials handling arrangement. The efficient and economical materials handling system can be designed and selected for installations only after the floor plan has been adequately organized.
In all types of plant layouts, provisions for the receiving and shipping of materials by various possible means (like trucks or trains, etc.) should be made. If it is necessary to move the materials by manually-operated or power-operated trucks, sufficient passage should be provided.
 If the building is multi-storied, lifts, elevators, and conveyors of different types must be utilized to enable efficient materials handling. The location of items in the storeroom should provide for minimum handling of materials to the point of issue, accessibility, and efficient space utilization.

description:
This e-book is chiefly addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate students and constitutes a holistic study of the first Latin pastoral collection (Vergil’s Eclogae) including a brief introductory section and a detailed examination of each Eclogue.
The Introduction (Chap. 1) begins with a brief but detailed review of the history of the Greek pastoral poetry, focusing mostly on the pastoral subjects and motifs to offer the reader a better understanding of the original concepts, which have been introduced with Vergil’s Eclogues. Then, it deals with the chronology of the collection of each Eclogue and concludes with the pastoral themes and motifs, which have been transferred into the Latin text to showcase the Vergilian originality. The educational material of each chapter (Chap. 2-5) is organised in terms of subject (viz. pastoral song contests, land confiscations in locus amoenus, love in locus amoenus, beyond the limits of the pastoral place), thus allowing the teacher to choose the Eclogue according to their syllabus. What is more, the readers may choose any poem of the collection which they think is appropriate in order to comprehend the pastoral genre. Every Eclogue begins with an introductory note containing the essential information, thereby providing the content of the poem, followed by the ancient text, the vocabulary, the translation and the commentary covering a great number and wide range of subjects (literary sources, intertextuality, mythology, humour, style, language, metre etc.); it ends with an extensive bibliography for further reading and study.
This e-book concludes with a last subchapter (Addendum) which deals with the metre of the pastoral poetry (i.e., dactylic hexameter), briefly presenting the structure of the dactylic hexameter, while also providing further bibliography where the reader can find additional examples and ancient texts for practice.

Spatial planning

keywords: Coastal Zones Planning and Islands Planning

description: The aim of the proposed e-book, which is adapted to the educational needs of undergraduate students, is to highlight spatial planning issues, with an emphasis on the following thematic sections: Theoretical, conceptual and methodological issues related to the principal approaches for the development and planning of the ex-urban, mainly space, are examined. Emphasis is placed on the role of Geography in spatial planning. Next, a brief historical review of the main periods is presented and the institutional arrangements and organizational structures that determined spatial planning in Greece are developed. Planning is examined as a process of regulating spatial issues and the practice of spatial planning in Greece is analyzed. The analysis is developed at national, regional and local level. Finally, the section presents Maritime Spatial Planning, as the new dimension, that must be registered in the spatial planning system, and investigates the way in which it will be integrated into the spatial planning system, as it is organized. The planning of special cases, which are a result of the "particular" geography of our country, and concern the coastal zones, islands and the mountainous areas, as well as issues of planning and management of the landscape, are examined.

description: This textbook is an introduction to performance art through activities and projects in the studio, which are framed not only by characteristic instances in the history of the medium itself but also by contemporary, interdisciplinary theoretical debates around performance art. The textbook begins with the introduction of the tools of performance studio practice and the basic terminology linked to it, as well as its early history. Key elements of performance, including the body, objects, the audience, the (public) space and the public sphere are approached through thematic and conceptual associations, with references to autobiography, gender, the augmented body, the everyday, interventions and the natural landscape. The textbook, also, explores different approaches to performance, such as performance for camera, durational performance, participatory performance and performative interventions. The chapters are organized around the systematic examination of key elements of performance art practice, as well as the analysis of key ideas and issues that have been recorded as dominant or recurrent in the theoretical discourse on performance. The case studies analysed in each chapter are accompanied by reflective questions/topics for discussion. A wide range of activities and projects are offered, which aim to enhance skills, promote experimentation and encourage an experiential understanding of theory, history and concepts related to performance art. The book is addressed to students of the Departments of Fine and Applied Arts, Digital and Performing Arts, Culture and Creative Media and Industries, and Theatre Studies.

description:
Beyond their entertainment value, digital games have evolved into media of expression, the transmission of messages and ideas, educational tools, sources of inspiration and learning, cultural artefacts, and hubs for the development of cultural content. The present textbook captures some aspects of games that shape the gaming experience and the gaming culture(s). Digital games are situated within a matrix of factors relevant to learning. Their relationship with these factors and their social and cultural context is further explored. Examples of games, practices, and processes from the broader field of digital games are presented, including commercial, entertainment, and serious games. The textbook is divided into 12 chapters, which often intersect and connect, as many topics can span multiple thematic areas.
The chapter structure follows a gradual progression of conceptual complexity, starting with the definition of basic concepts and the taxonomies of games, and progressing to more complex topics such as the expression of ideas, values, and messages conveyed via digital games, skills supported, digital game literacy, design, development and evaluation, and perceptions regarding issues of addiction and aggressive behaviour. However, linear reading of the textbook is not necessary; readers may choose the order and the chapter they wish to engage with and refer to previous or subsequent chapters for clarifications on concepts that may be unclear. Each chapter is accompanied by indicative activities or topics for reflection and discussion. Additionally, the textbook is accompanied by supplementary material, such as resources and further analyses, available on the Digital Games and Learning website (Kallipos Handbook + Supplementary Material) https://eclass.uoa.gr/courses/ECD533/.

description: This manual presents a new approach to plant breeding based on the inviolable rule of plant selection in the absence of competition. The new methodology is analyzed comparatively with the typical one applied under competition between genotypes. The text includes four sections with individual chapters (general part, breeding principles, breeding methods, and special breeding issues). The general part focuses on the mode of plant reproduction and its implications for genetic evolution, the type of varieties and stages of cultivar development and commercialization, and the nature and expression of complex quantitative traits. Breeding principles include the creation and protection of genetic variability, factors that affect the genotype selection efficiency (particular emphasis is placed on the role of competition between individual plants in either the crop or breeding experiment), and experimental models used in plant breeding with a focus on the honeycomb breeding designs invented for selection in the absence of competition. Breeding methods include mass selection, pedigree selection, hybridization, backcrossing, polyploidy and generation of doubled haploid lines, applied in both regimes of allo-competition and nil-competition; in addition, the molecular approach to plant breeding is described. Finally, two special chapters refer to the need for continuous (non-stop) selection procedures, the first as a means of landrace diversity stewardship to upgrade and exploit their genetic variability, and the second concerning a conservation breeding to prolong longevity and commercial acceptance of elite cultivars.

description: Nowadays, as we are all aware of climate and environmental changes, it is of special importance to seek a perspective of the scale and rates through which features of the natural environment have been developed and have been changed in response to natural forces. These changes concern all these aspects of the Earth that humans are active. We know that since the appearance of humans, all these processes have often changed, rapidly and at different scales in various places. The science of Quaternary Geology was developed to investigate and understand these patterns and changes. By definition, Quaternary Geology is interdisciplinary and includes the subjects of geography, geomorphology, biology, physics and chemistry of the Earth, given the complexity of changes occurring in space and time. Although the Quaternary, constitutes only one "moment" (2.58 million years) of the Earth’s history, it is a particularly important period of time, since during this time humans have evolved. In addition to this it includes the present. The events of the Quaternary have been recorded in the sediments, ice sheets, landforms, and relief, with a greater degree of completeness and temporal resolution, compared to other periods of comparable duration. This book not only focuses on this most recent geological period, the Quaternary, but also on the natural processes that shaped the relief and their interaction with archaeology. It also analyzes the climatic changes during the Quaternary as well as their consequences on the relief, the glacial-interglacial periods, the sea level changes, the Holocene transgression, and the effects on the coastal environment. At the same time the modern sea level change trends are also discussed. The contribution of geomorphology to the understanding of relief evolution of the wider area of archaeological sites and the determination of the environmental-morphological changes in various geomorphological environments are analyzed. The interaction of prehistoric humans with the paleoenvironment is described, in terms of the evolution of the relief as a factor in the selection of archaeological sites, and also in terms of the anthropogenic effects on the evolution of the relief. At the same time greater emphasis is placed on new technologies than on research methods and techniques. Finally, characteristic case studies from the Greek and wider Mediterranean area are analyzed.

description: Reservoir Engineering is the field of the Engineering Science that focuses on the study and characterization of oil and gas reservoirs aiming at proposing efficient hydrocarbon production strategies that are both financially viable and environmentally-friendly. The main objective of oil and gas production engineering is to recover the highest possible mass fraction of the hydrocarbon species that are initially resident in the reservoir using all available mature production technologies and techniques. During the commercial exploitation of a reservoir, the hydrocarbon fluids that are initially trapped in the pore space flow over several hundreds of meters from their initial position until the bottomhole of the production wells, from where they are recovered to the surface. Due to this flow through the porous matrix of the reservoir, the pressure field is continuously evolving in time, thus affecting the physical properties of the fluid phases. Therefore, the Petroleum Engineer should be familiar with the relevant physical processes and possess an in-depth understanding of the basic parameters that affect the dynamic evolution of the pressure field and the spatial distribution of different phases during transient multiphase flow. This understanding should also be complemented with an in-depth understanding of the basic principles that govern liquid-vapor equilibrium of the extremely complex reservoir fluids and their changes in composition. These depend strongly on the dynamics of the flow field during the production period from the reservoir. This book is primarily intended for undergraduate students of Engineering Schools that include the course of Petroleum Engineering in their educational program. It aims at introducing the students to the main principles and terminology of the upstream sector in a systematic and progressive way starting from the fields of single and multiphase flows through the reservoir porous structure and progressing towards the thermodynamics of liquid-vapor equilibrium of reservoir fluids. Based on this theoretical background, more complex processes are presented, related to the basic oil production mechanisms and the technologies applied for optimizing oil recovery.

description: Is Architecture a vulnerable practice, anchored in the specific place and time of its birth? Are decay, change, abuse, and mutation inevitable conditions that wear architecture down? Why do we find the remnants of an old structure attractive? What is compatible with the existing fabric? On what terms can abandoned architectural structures be regenerated without sacrificing their values and their tangible and intangible dimensions? What is the impact of an intervention on the existing site and its wider context? These key questions dominate the contemporary discourse on the conservation and management of the building stock. This book addresses the issue of ReStart, i.e., restarting the life of existing architectural sites. Through the analysis of a set of 100 cases, it traces and highlights RestArt, i.e., the remaining timeless value of art, in each of the structures studied. The book's three-part structure explores the issue of the “ReStart to RestArt” succession, through the lens of theory, methodology, and applications. Firstly, it acknowledges that the issues of architectural conservation and intervention are social constructs and, therefore, dynamic, influenced by social developments. It then outlines a methodology that considers research and understanding of the characteristics of the existing built environment as a necessary condition for its redesign and reappropriation. Finally, through the presentation of numerous case studies of transformed structures, it reveals that the process of redesign knows no spatial boundaries, while it pertains to every scale, use, and construction.

description: The edition aims to help in the understanding of key issues of history, aesthetics and the way the photographic image works. In the above chapters, key issues from the aforementioned fields, related to the photographic image are presented, in order to understand the specificity of the medium and the factors that shaped it over time. Thus, an attempt is made to deconstruct the nature of the object of photography in order to demonstrate the way of organizing the different forms of appearance of the medium. Photography as a carrier of collective memory is examined through the analysis of historical photographs. Among them are photos related to social, political, and cultural issues that demonstrate the way the photographic image is impressed on the collective memory and on an individual’s personal memory as well. The physical object of the photograph, the material that makes it up and its individual structural elements are also examined as well as themportance of technique and its evolution in relation to the development of the medium. Topics of art history that discuss the relationship of photography with the other visual arts, cinema and music are analyzed. Based on the notion of aesthetics, photographs are approached both in terms of the way they are created and in terms of their origin and their reading. A special section of the publication deals with the aesthetics of the modern digital image and the way it has influenced life and art and continues to do so.. Visual communication is examined as the tool by which we understand and perceive the environment with an emphasis on formulating a method of perceiving the communication codes of photography. Summarizing, the multitude of possibilities and applications of photography as a tool to create a work of art is discussed along with the choice of decisions through which the artist proposes his personal perspective and the reception factors of the artistic result.

description: Capture fisheries are in crisis, foundations of fisheries management theory and practice have been called into question and their governance is therefore a matter of great Concern. Concerns about fish stocks, and the health of aquatic ecosystems are directly related to the increasing demand and to the potentially short supply, due mainly to overfishing and unsustainable fishing practices. Diversity is at the base of most ecological processes involving resources and its alteration is viewed as a major source of large ecological and societal changes. Capture fisheries are portrayed from a global and local view. The journey from capture to table can be swift or extended. As humans consume over one thousand species of fish extracted from a variety of ecological habitats and geographic quarters across the world – the ensuing fish chains are inevitably disparate, reflecting the local, national, regional, and global market arrangements and the socio-cultural settings, in which harvesting, processing, distributing and consuming take place. Τhe multiple intertwined fish chains that extend from the world’s fisheries, and assess the governance challenges specific to governing the interactions within entire fish chains are assessed. Principles underlying the international governance of fisheries today are presented and a meta-perspective on governance is conceptualized. Developments in fisheries and aquaculture from the perspective of real-life concerns that affect people across the globe presently and in the future are discussed. It is realized that fisheries governance, although still being conducted in different parts of the world and in varying social and economic settings, can still be looked at in a coherent manner. Last, fisheries governability is explored and issues faced by fisheries governors when changing governance are addressed.

description:
The aim of this book is to provide future engineers with basic knowledge that will enable them to communicate electrical circuit issues and their practical applications with clarity, precision, and correctness, with other colleagues, demonstrating sufficient professionalism. For this reason, the selected circuit theory exercises contained and analyzed in it, relate to simple typical applied problems of alternating single-phase and three-phase circuits, domestic and industrial applications (such as modeling transformers, various types of electrical consumers, bridge circuits, frequency filters, voltage and current dividers). Likewise, DC circuit applications concern applications such as photovoltaic systems, battery charging, and supercapacitors.
The relevant knowledge background provided is about the basic knowledge of physics, answering questions in the fields of energy, power, electric charge, the structure of the atom, magnetic and electric fields, and electromagnetic waves, as well as the necessary mathematical background concerning operations with complex numbers and representation of time equations in the frequency domain (rotating vectors). Each theoretical analysis is supplemented by solved examples of escalating complexity.
The book is completed with a series of laboratory exercises, simulating important electrical circuits (implemented in the free PSpice software) which help in the theoretical understanding of the solution of the exercises, without, of course, replacing the corresponding experiments that would be accomplished on the laboratory bench. Circuit simulations, among other things, allow us to easily and quickly observe the changes presented in the output of a circuit, depending on the changes in the input parameters and its elements.

description:
The present textbook highlights the issue of economic asymmetries between regions and explores the main causes of this phenomenon, which can range from the geographical and geophysical landscape, to infrastructure, means of transport, or even culture itself. The main policies aimed at sustainable regional development and many of the strategies and methods followed to solve the economic problems of the regions are recorded, with sustainable development as a dominant aim.
The textbook emphasizes that through regional policy, modern societies seek to face economic problems and achieve financial growth, with the ultimate goal of social cohesion and ensuring the quality of life for their citizens. In order for this policy to succeed, it should take into account many different parameters, such as the level of development of each region, the nature of the economic problems it faces and the reasons behind them. Therefore, first of all, the correct diagnosis of the problems is required.
At a second stage, strategic policies aimed at reducing financial, social, territorial, environmental, cultural etc. inequalities that exist between regions should be drawn up. All these policies have been developed in recent years and they can contribute to the removal or reduction of such inequalities and the improvement of living conditions.
The textbook takes these policies into account and highlights them. Emphasis is placed on the spatial planning of regional development. After all, today, spatial planning is directly linked to the achievement of optimal management and utilization of available financial resources both at a local and a regional level. But, above all, emphasis is placed on sustainable development and the four pillars that constitute it; environment, economy, society and culture.

description: The present volume is an introductory textbook dealing with the theory, research, and practice of the field of Feminist Psychology, within which many of the traditional assumptions of the science of Psychology are challenged, in terms of gender equality and the inclusion of the female experience. The first two chapters (Chapters 1-2) provide an extensive discussion of feminism and its history, the concept of patriarchy and the interpretation of unequal social relations between genders through feminist theory and specific feminist sociological approaches. The next two chapters (Chapters 3-4) discuss the issue of gender identity, social norms, and gender stereotypes, while summarizing the feminist tradition's critique of the discipline of Psychology. Chapters 5 to 10 are proposals for a feminist approach to important aspects of the science of Psychology, taking a new, critical look at a range of issues that researchers and professional psychologists face in their everyday practices, including: personality theories, feminist therapy, counseling for gender-based violence, LGBTI counselling, gender issues in education, women's professional development, discrimination and stereotyping in the workplace, and work-family balance. The volume is primarily addressed to instructors of undergraduate and postgraduate psychology and gender studies programmes, undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers. It aims to provide evidence-based information and reflection on important issues in Psychology, offering a critical perspective on the ways in which the discipline of Feminist Psychology has approached and continues to approach gender and women's experience, as well as suggestions for interventions aimed at changing attitudes, methods, and practices

description:
This book deals with the subject of Polymer Chemistry in a way that is both educational and scientifically complete, and thorough. Due to the large extent of the subject, an attempt is made to combine basic knowledge of macromolecular chemistry with the modern challenges that the polymer industry has to face, through a mainly educational approach aimed at understanding it by undergraduate students. Our ambition is to give the impetus to young scientists to get to know the wonderful world of polymers and to understand the secrets hidden in the Chemistry of macromolecular compounds. The book has been written aiming to be used in the teaching of a semester course.
       The structure of the book is based on three major thematic sections. In the first section, which concerns the synthesis of polymers, the various mechanisms and kinetics of polymerization reactions (chain, step), as well as controlled polymerization and copolymerization reactions are presented in detail. To emphasize the connection between chemistry and everyday life, the characteristics of the most well-known commercial polymers are described. In the second section, the key properties that make polymers stand out from conventional materials are analyzed, such as Molecular Weight Distribution, amorphous and crystalline state, and glass transition temperature. In the third section, characteristics of environmentally friendly and specialized classes of polymers are presented, such as biodegradable, bio-based, conductive, photonic, hydrogels etc. Finally, the relationship of polymers with the environment is described, through contemporary issues such as microplastics, the possible existence of harmful substances and polymer chemical recycling methods.

description: This study offers a detailed overview of witchcraft beliefs and the witch hunt in Europe from the 15th century, when the “demonic imagery” was gradually constructed and witchcraft persecutions began to intensify, to the 18th century, when legislation on witchcraft began to be repealed or significantly modified, a process that had already been manifested in the courtrooms since the mid-17th century. The study examines both the witchcraft imagery and witchcraft as an everyday practice while also focusing on the interaction between witchcraft discourses, persecutions and community conflicts that often triggered the witch hunt. Thus, this book is about not one but many “witches”: the heretic that attended the witches’ Sabbath, the “evil neighbour” who caused disease and death, the practitioner or “professional of witchcraft” who cured the body or the soul, the accused, who trapped in the webs of the law, struggled to defend herself through narratives of guilt or innocence, and the witch as a construction of historiography. The present study does not conceive magic as the opposite of science or religion. Rather, ideas on magic and witchcraft are studied in tandem with other fields of knowledge, such as theology, science, political theory, law, oral tradition, travel literature, fiction, and the art.

description: As its title suggests, the subject of the book "Transitions.  From modern to contemporary art. Critical Approaches", is the critical narrative of the passage from modern to contemporary art, approaching the continuities, discontinuities, ruptures, expansions, and reversals that shaped art after the second half of the 20th century and the passage into the 21st century. The chapters in the volume are structured as nodes or focal points, rather than themes or thematic categories. In some cases, they focus on movements or the dominance of a medium that reflects a range of practices (such as photography or video art), while elsewhere they focus on broad categories in which media intersect. This constitutes a narrative of the passage from modern to contemporary art and the expansions needed to write their histories while highlighting the difficulties and challenges that arise from these expansions. The chapters follow a roughly chronological trajectory, from abstraction as a landmark of the post-war period, minimalism and conceptual art, institutional critique, pop art and neo-avant-garde, performance art, postmodernism, photography and the politics of the lens, video art, digital and new media art forms, to new genre public art. In these difficult categorizations, certain questions arise concerning their criteria: based on the medium, category, genre, movement, or the interweaving of the above. Each chapter presents significant events, an influential theory, a study, the publication of an important text, or the opening of an exhibition that played a role in the production and reception of the works and practices discussed. Critical considerations of seminal events aim for a multilevel approach via the study of works, discourses, texts, exhibition practices, and theories. Through this trajectory, the study traces the categories of "artist", "work", "exhibition", "viewer", and "curator" and the shifts in their conceptualization from the 20th to the 21st century. This book is a useful tool at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, as it takes a chronological approach to present art movements, currents, trends, and theories while offering a genealogical critical perspective on the formation and transformation of media, forms, and categories (genres) of artistic practice that constitute a critical introduction to contemporary art. The book proposes a view of developments in art from the second half of the twentieth century to the twenty-first century, but also an immersion in the key points of developments and different perceptions of modern and contemporary art.

description: In the textbook “Alcohology for the clinician”, an attempt has been made to articulate, in a friendly-user manner, the significant efforts, made over the past three decades, to understand and treat Alcohol-Use Disorders (AUD). Basic and preclinical research, clinical pharmacology, psychiatry, hepatology, and the experience of clinicians in the field of Alcohology are extensively reviewed. The multiple aspects of Alcohol-Use Disorders and alcohol-related problems are presented: epidemiology of Alcohol-Use Disorders, the mechanisms related to heavy drinking, and the consequences of low and high alcohol consumption on the human body. Strategies for prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of Alcohol-Use Disorders are especially emphasized. In the field of clinical practice, the brief intervention strategy, the stages of change and the motivational interview, the new pharmaceutical treatments, and the range of psychotherapeutic approaches (cognitive-behavioural and systemic psychotherapy, group psychotherapy) are presented and discussed in length. Furthermore, the experience of mutual aid groups, more specifically Alcoholics Anonymous and Clubs of Alcoholics in Treatment, in maintaining abstinence from alcohol and preventing relapses is analysed and discussed. The Lesch typology, which is considered an important clinical tool for the diagnosis, classification, and treatment of subgroups of patients with Alcohol-Use Disorders, is evaluated. Finally, a specific reference to the Greek legislation on alcohol, the support groups for individuals and families with alcohol problems in Greece, as well as the hot topic of "youth and alcohol in Greece" is made. In the appendix, the most useful instruments-questionnaires in clinical practice are listed along with a short glossary of frequently used terms.

description: The book fills an important gap in Greek scientific literature in the field of introductory scientific programming for engineers and scientists. It is based on three courses that the author has established and taught since 2004 at the National Technical University of Athens, and is mainly aimed at third- and fourth-year undergraduate students in science and engineering. The first chapters can be taught without difficulty to fourth-semester students. Emphasis is placed on programming from the outset, on analysis, and on the scientific interpretation of results in a practical manner and through learning by experience. The selection of problems and software emphasizes the training of those who will be involved in high-performance computing problems, with the aim of exposing the reader to as wide a range of scientific programming directions as possible. The book consists of 13 chapters covering a wide range of interesting physical problems. Most of the theory is already familiar to the reader from introductory physics courses. The book presents all the necessary introductory material and provides references for further study where necessary. The chapters end with exercises of varying difficulty. It also comes with software containing all the code presented in the book, as well as additional programs for practice. Everything presented in the book requires only free software.

description:
This book, the result of a long research and teaching experience of the authors, seeks to fill a basic gap, as it will approach the history and dramaturgy of modern Greek theatre in a combined and chronological way. In a relatively short chapter entitled "Instead of Introduction" we proceed to an overview of the topic of whether there was a theatre in Byzantium. In the fifteen (15) chapters-sections that follow, the historical conditions, the cultural peculiarities of each period, the reception of Western currents from the late Cretan Renaissance to the third half of the 20th century, the translation activity and the original dramaturgy are presented concisely.
Important writers, and plays that constitute a breakthrough are analysed, as well as the conditions for the consolidation of stage practice up to the foundation of the professional theatre.
The book mentions phenomena that mark the turning point of the 19th century, such as the birth of theatre criticism, the phenomenon of the female star system and the emergence of stage direction in the early 20th century, the establishment of state theatres in Athens and Thessaloniki, and finally, the flourishing of commercial theatre.
In the late 19th and 20th centuries, ideological issues were approached, such as the search for Greekness, the dialogue with antiquity, and aesthetic trends, such as modernism and the avant-garde of the interwar period. The turbulent period of the Occupation and the Resistance, and the post-war Spring are equally developed, as they are reflected in the theatrical scene, where, apart from radical political initiatives (“the Mountain Theatre”), the modern Greek theatre meets with pioneering Western currents and genres (e.g. American theatre, theatre of the absurd) but also emerging the modern Greek plays through notable Greek play writers.

The structure of each chapter contains the historical and social context, the dramatic literature (dramatic genres, authors, plays), extracts from typical plays, and an Epilogue with supporting texts (prologues, critiques, links to audiovisual material, etc.). Bibliography and Self-assessment Exercises follow.

description: The book "World musics: Soundscapes, identities and practices" theoretically fits within the scientific discipline of the anthropology of music, while thematically it covers particular dimensions of the musical phenomenon with numerous case studies that present aspects of the musical culture of various times and regions around the world. Specifically, the 4 main themes the book tackles are: a) music and nation, b) music and diaspora, c) music and economy, and d) music and globalization. These topics cover a wide range of the subject matter of the anthropology of music in continuation of earlier considerations of the relationship between music and its sociocultural context, as well as through the introduction of new analytical tools from corresponding areas of the modern humanities, such as ethnomusicology, folklore, and cultural studies. The first section refers to the connection of music with the ideological-political formation of the nation state and extends over two chapters that focus, on the one hand, on the process of forming a unifying national-cultural image through the establishment of music and dance stereotypes, and, on the other hand, on the ways of which music with the support of the mass media can be turned into a vehicle of hegemonic management of culture by the nation state. The second section describes in detail two cases of diasporic communities and the role of music in shaping their particular cultural identity. The third section includes two examples relevant to the current debate on the financial regulations and control of music production and distribution (e.g., on copyright and royalties, personal profit, and the ownership of music). Finally, the fourth section deals with issues of performativity, hybridity, subjectivity, and reflection on the musical experience of the current globalizing system.

description:
Digital health is a rapidly evolving field that relies on information and communication infrastructure to support health services at every stage and place where a health delivery process takes place. It is an interdisciplinary field with main points of reference Computer Science and Healthcare, but also several other scientific disciplines related to quality, health economics, mathematics, biomedicine, medical informatics, engineering sciences etc.
This book focuses on the question of quality in digital health: that is, how the performance of health IT systems can be evaluated, so that their adoption in healthcare environments achieves the improvement of care services offered and hence the further improvement both the health of patients and the overall efficiency of the health system.
In recent years in healthcare, accountability, transparency and necessary communication have taken a prominent place in the list of characteristics of healthcare providers. If a healthcare organization does not take steps to be able to meet these demands, its future does not bode well. In this direction, digital health acts as a catalyst: the entire process of providing health to a patient is supported by the corresponding digital processes.
Therefore, the quality of the services provided is the point of reference: the management should have the necessary tools to measure the quality, propose the necessary changes and evaluate the result.
The aim of this book is to approach digital health from the quality point of view, both from the theoretical point of view of the study of quality and with applied technologies and methods for the evaluation and improvement of the quality of health, encouraging readers to use in practice the knowledge they will get from reading it.

The aim of this book is to offer information and retraining to the Greek reader who is interested in creative arts therapies with special focus on music therapy.  As the creative arts therapies have already been upgraded from alternative therapies to complementary, they gain more respect, they comprise an integral part of integrative therapies and they are very important in health care settings, as well as in education.
The aims of this book are to cover the needs of music therapy trainees and to compensate for the lack of appropriate resources in Greek language -especially in clinical and research work that takes place in Greece.
The content covers the areas of receptive, active, interactive, and remote music therapy, creative arts therapies, as well as remote music education enriched with music therapy elements.
The book offers theoretical background, guidelines for music therapists, exercises and excerpts from clinical work, case studies and research, as they have been conducted in psychiatric inpatient unit, in psychiatric unit for the adolescent, in cardiac surgery hospital, in women survivors of domestic violence settings, as well as in remote music therapy. The resources come from the international bibliography, as well as from international and Greek practice and research.

description: The use of digital technology in Education in student-centered and mainly group teaching settings, which are based on group and cooperative instructional models, configures a momentum during the teaching process, which yields positive learning results and positive attitudes. The book aims at active and collaborative learning and the construction of knowledge. It concerns both the way of teaching, namely teaching techniques that every primary, secondary and University teacher has to use, as well as the effective use of the available technology, as the technological pedagogical content knowledge proposes. The book is organized along two parallel axes. One axis concerns the theoretical presentation of eleven selected instructional techniques and a model, the "Flipped Classroom", and their implementation with the use of digital technology. The second axis concerns the topics that are presented as examples during the application of the above instructional techniques and refer to knowledge, which constitutes a basic background for the Educators. The topics deal with theoretical issues related to teaching and learning, as well as to certain examples from Sciences and Information Technology. The combination of these two axes appears in each chapter of the book. The three introductory theoretical chapters, refer to didactic and teaching issues, the pedagogical use of digital technology, cooperative and collaborative teaching. At the end of the book, a chapter on STEM education is listed, as well as a final chapter, which refers to the qualitative assessment of learning outcomes, the SOLO taxonomy, since assessment is an embedded part of the educational process. The book closes with an appendix, which includes some of the icebreaker games, for students and other adults, aiming at group work.

description:
Health Education (HE) plays an important role in protecting, improving and/or maintaining good health by developing competences, skills, values, attitudes and knowledge that enable people to live not only a healthy but also a productive life.
However, in order to achieve its objectives, Health Education teachers and, more generally, those involved in the implementation of Health Education need to understand the fundamental principles and stakes of this specific knowledge field. This textbook contributes to this need by introducing fundamental concepts of Health Education. More specifically, the present publication discusses concepts such as health, well-being, health literacy, health promotion school etc. and their interconnections. It introduces the subject matter of Health Education and also explains what a program and a project are, and how a Health Education program can be effective. In addition, it analyses a basic tool, known as the “logic model”, which can be used to design, implement and evaluate Health Education programs or projects. In terms of  Health Education topics, it delves into three of the many included in Health Education and more specifically in: a) Social Health, b) Emotional Health, and c) Nutrition. The first two topics are mainly linked to the core themes of Health Education, while the third one is linked to Nutrition and diet education. In conclusion, this book is an important textbook for both undergraduate and postgraduate students in Health Education as well as for health and/or education professionals and researchers, who are already or would like to become, active in this field.

description: The book sets out in separate chapters, but under one umbrella, the structured cultural policy that we are pursuing over time and which concerns citizens, arts and monuments as a whole. The clarification of terms makes it clearer how we will collectively develop and gain from existing and future cultural resources. The steps to redefine the country's cultural capital and the phases, the reference genres of today's Greek culture with their benefits and challenges are, respectively, thoroughly analysed. The past-present relationship is approached, while their cultural value and the meaning they emit are analyzed. Analyses are added on museums and festivals, European official policy and cultural strategy, the Greek past and present network, the digital age, but also the climate crisis and the environment, which constitute key parameters. The overall assessment, the proposed multi-faceted planning, the broader knowledge of the cultural ecosystem and the regulatory framework for cultural heritage and the arts are presented. The case studies make the proposals and means of developing our cultural capital more familiar. Through the knowledge of legislation, rules and political responsibility for cultural management and new socio-political-economic-technological data it is demonstrated that simple and understandable planning, direct and flexible application of cultural means are needed. The relationship of cultural actions and infrastructures to the social and national fabric, the economic fabric and the architectural image of their place is examined in order to improve and make comprehensible the phenomena of cultural character that have a catalytic effect, whether they concern museums and archaeological sites or cultural axes that include monuments, landmarks, festivals and artistic institutions, etc. It shows how they contribute to the economic life of the wider region and how communities and the social body are affected by complex social, cultural and economic phenomena such as sustainable development, globalisation and tourism.

description: The book is mainly aimed at undergraduate students who study object oriented programming for the first time. It assumes that the reader is familiar with procedural programming, though. First, the concepts of object oriented programming, the required mechanisms and the paradigm properties are presented, independently of a specific programming language. The aim is to highlight the concepts’ universality. The book, then, focuses on the C++ language, presenting the above using C++. It begins by summarizing procedural programming constructs, with an emphasis on specialized ones. Then, the concept of names’ scope is analyzed, stepping towards data abstraction. Talking about data abstraction, the one of the two main areas in object oriented programming, class and object definitions are discussed, as well as related topics such as visibility declarations to hide implementation details, constructors and destructors of objects as well as object assignments. Class composition is separately discussed. Next, a thorough presentation of the second important area in object-oriented programming, which is inheritance, follows. The C++ related topics are completed by some other class related issues of the language that are considered worth mentioning. Emphasis is put on static class members, which allow a smooth transition from the C++ to the Java language. C++'s input/output system is outlined, also as an interesting example of using object oriented programming. Generic programming is also briefly presented. The book then switches to the Java language and presents its object oriented features. Next, there is a summary of object oriented characteristics of other object oriented programming languages, not necessarily procedural. The book concludes with complex problems, both for personal engagement and practice, but also as appropriate examples where the use of object oriented programming is needed.
