The Technology of Hydroponics

keywords: Calculation of inorganic nutrients in hydroponics

uk: Математика, природничі науки

description: This book provides useful information for the student, grower, and anyone interested in hydroponics and how this method of plant production works as applied to a wide range of growing conditions. Hydroponics refers to the technology of growing horticultural plants without using natural soil. The plants are cultivated either in a pure water solution with inorganic salts (fertilizers), or mainly on inert, porous substrates to which the nutrient solution is added. Hydroponic cultivation is an expanding method of agricultural production, mainly in the greenhouse area, because by optimizing the environment of the crown, which is achieved with the greenhouse, and the environment of the root which is achieved with hydroponics, plant yields increase (up to and over a tenfold degree compared to an outdoor cultivation) and the quality of the produced products is improved. Hydroponics began after the 18th century as a tool for academic research in plant nutrition and much later (20th century) evolved into a production method. The root and the effects of the root environment (such as water, substrate porosity, salt concentration, temperature, pH and microorganisms) determine plant growth and performance. Both in the case of the soil and in the case of hydroponics, the root is the filter that controls the entry of various chemical elements into the plant's organs. The environment in which plant organisms develop determines to what extent the characters determined by their genetic potential (DNA) can be developed and therefore the potential for a successful production. Today, many methods of hydroponics (to regulate the root environment) have been developed and are applied internationally, such as cultivation in a shallow flowing nutrient solution, cultivation in nutrient solution reservoirs, cultivation in sprayed nutrient solution (aeroponics), cultivation in inert materials, and cultivation in organic substrates. The inorganic elements (ions) of fertilizers are irreplaceable for the growth and production of plants. However, due to the interactions between ions and their competition, the various ions that make up plant nutrients, must be in the proper proportion to each other in the solution around the root. Of course, the optimal relationships between these elements are not the same for all species of plants, not even during the entire cultivation period. The basic composition of the nutrient solution must be adapted appropriately during the different phases of the plants and changes in the environment, e.g., during the vegetative growth of plants, at the beginning of fruiting, or when there is high humidity, low temperature, sunshine etc. In order to create the appropriate nutrient solution each time, the necessary calculations are made to determine the required amounts of inorganic nutrients and to determine the weight of the related fertilizers. With the proposed method, it is possible to change the electric conductivity of the solution to be used without changing the ratio between basic nutrients and to correct the composition based on the ions contained in the irrigation and drainage water. Except for soil crops and in hydroponic crops, harmful fungi and other microorganisms can grow in the root environment. Protection measures against pathogenic microorganisms are therefore also useful in hydroponic crops.

description:
Both the fetus and the mother's health have always been impacted by the mother's diet during pregnancy. Several factors influence a pregnant woman's eating habits, including interpersonal relationships, institutional, and social factors. Nutrition knowledge can have a positive impact on women's nutrition. Therefore, proper nutrition during pregnancy has been linked to favorable outcomes for mothers and newborns, especially among obese women.
Nutritional counseling is uncommon among prenatal care practitioners. Insufficient training, a scarcity of free time, a shortage of resources, and other issues all contribute to the absence of counseling. However, due to their frequent contact with pregnant women, midwives and obstetricians are in a unique position to provide nutrition care. Thus, the aim of this textbook is to develop the knowledge necessary to provide nutritional care and counsel women about the importance of acquiring optimal nutrition during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and infancy.

description:
The book comprises three main purposes: a) It treats the teaching and research field of the Political Sociology of Emotions and, responding to the international consolidation of the scientific field, it aspires to be the first of its kind in the Greek academic community. b) It introduces a new analytical perspective to the international debate, that of the intrinsic connection of emotional dynamics with socio-political dimensions of justice and the will, as well as the relationship of ressentiment in particular with the public good. c) Among other case studies, it deals with the two most intense recent socio-political events in Greece, that of the covid-19 health crisis and the perception of right wing extremism.
Starting from the historical-theoretical conceptualization of emotions, the analysis scales from the micro-level of subjectivity to the macro-socio-political level. Basic views on the key emotions scrutinized by the extant literature are analyzed, with the emphasis thereafter placed on the moral dimension of emotions. Through the discussion about the will, the first step towards the purely social dimension, that of  political freedom, is made.
The emotional dimension of freedom is considered pivotal for the subsequent discussion about risk, political interest and the legitimizing power of trust. The crisis of trust and the social trauma that it brings about is linked to socio-political pathologies and political strategies of subjectivities, such as cynicism, ressentiment, worthlessness and meritocracy, the derail of public interest and the common good, compassion and forgiveness. We analyze the emotional dimension of social movements, extremism as well as the current challenges to the rule of law and the Constitution which is perceived  as a symbolic public sphere of overlapping consensuses figurated in society.

description:
Many factors can affect the combat effectiveness and safety of the warfighter in an operation. The most important external factors that can affect, to a small or large degree the combatant's operational capability are the environment (hot environment, cold environment, humid environment, altitude, atmospheric pollution, high hydrostatic water pressure during immersion), the characteristics of the operation (duration, intensity, ground characteristics) and the equipment (clothing, armament). Likewise, the activities for carrying out and completing the mission, such as excavation and manual material handling, play an important role. Also, the fighter's load carriage and shooting ability are central to its combat effectiveness in a mission. Finally, endogenous factors are also important, such as the fighter's age, gender and physical characteristics, as well as proper nutrition, hydration and mental strength. All of the above factors interact, to a lesser or greater degree, making operational efficiency an intractable equation.
The purpose of the trainers is to maximize the combatant's operational capacity always with the maximum safety. Maximization can be achieved by optimizing opposing factors. This book examines each of these factors and their possible interactions, with an emphasis on the physiological responses of the combatant's body, which lead to a reduction of his performance and/or inability to carry on, an important factor which can potentially jeopardize his safety.

description: This textbook is part of the field of Political Sociology with references to the Sociology of Gender and Youth. It uses empirical material and approaches from the field of Political Behavior, seeking a combined approach of gender and age in order to illuminate the political character of social actors with emphasis on youth. It deals with the social category of young people and explores trends and changes related to the political patterns of young women and men in the 21st century. A gender perspective permeates the whole approach, as a necessary condition for an inclusive approach to socio-political reality. It is based on a wealth of data from research designed and implemented by the two authors, as well as other researchers, both at EKKE and NKUA, as well as on studies included in the international literature and in international databases. It focuses on age and gender, since the latter  constitute two very important parameters that influence the formation and expression of political identities: Age in the sense of generation is determined by the period  climate  in which the early socialization of each different generation takes place, while gender determines and is determined by different socializing experiences that the subjects have, depending on whether they are boys or girls, in a context of deeply unequal gender relations.

description: Regional (or geographical or spatial) inequality is a major dimension of overall inequality with socio-economic and political repercussions. This type of inequality is a topic of significant academic interest and is becoming a fundamental issue for human society, governments and policymakers. For instance, its reduction is one of the key policy objectives in the EU agenda, mainly due to the strong focus placed on achieving economic, social and territorial cohesion. In light of this situation, the main goal of the monograph is to examine in a comprehensive and systematic way the patterns and evolution of spatial inequality in Greece in an evolving socio-economic environment. Greece is a developed country with significant socio-economic problems presenting not only a distinct kind of spatial dualism in the form of Attiki (and its small near satellite regions) and non-Attiki, compared to the most common north-south and east-west dualism found in other EU countries, but also a high level of income spatial disparity. Moreover, the context for spatial inequality has been dramatically reshaped and become significantly more challenging during recent years since Greece has undergone a number of significant changes which can be connected with processes operating on both international and national scales: the acceleration of the European integration and the recent 2008 economic crisis are, probably, the most serious. As a result, the Greek regions have been experiencing a period of unprecedented transformation affecting not only their socioeconomic status but also the strength, intensity, direction and structure of spatial inequality in the country. For the investigation of regional inequality in Greece, a number of spatial statistical and econometric techniques are employed; these types of techniques can highlight the role and importance of geographic space, draw more valid inferences than traditional (a-spatial) techniques and unmask additional aspects of the issue.

description:
Ultrasonography is a fundamental tool in every day Emergency Medicine and Critical Care clinical practice. The skills to handle this tool in 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 happens with every technological advancement, clinicians should combine knowledge gained from special treatment with the skills to gain the most benefit. Thus, the potential for specific education on the 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 by an integrated approach to 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, and guide the weaning process.
In the present manual, the first chapter is dedicated to the basics of ultrasonography. The rest four chapters refer to the basic pathological conditions of the lung that a critical care/respiratory physician should be able to identify. In detail, the second chapter concerns the evaluation of pathologies in the pleural cavity and, the 3rd covers pathologies of the lung parenchyma. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the evaluation of the diaphragm, while the fifth chapter entails the comprehensive evaluation of patients with different clinical scenarios, where the reader can identify the clinical applications of lung ultrasonography.

description: This book is dedicated to Tight Binding. It explains the principles on which this method is based on and it presents its applications on molecules like the nucleic acid bases and similar ones, as well as on base pairs, which we call monomers. Then we extend it to dimers, trimers, oligomers and polymers as well as to various categories of one-dimensional solids, periodic or aperiodic (quasi-periodic or fractal). It is explained how we arrive to a two-level system as two initially isolated one-level systems approach, and then we extend to multi-level systems. Various one-dimensional systems are solved and principal notions are defined. Conjugated molecules are examined analytically (in simpler cases) as well as numerically. The linear combination of atomic orbitals as well as the linear combination of molecular orbitals is introduced. Then, the electronic structure using all valence orbitals is discussed and it is applied to benzene and 1,3,5-triazine. Afterwards, the electronic structure and the charge transfer in DNA monomers, dimers, trimers, tetramers and polymers is examined either at the base pair level or at the base level. Various well-known models are analyzed like the wire model, the simple and extended ladder model, as well as their combinations with the fishbone model. Then we examine the electronic structure and the charge transfer in atomic carbon wires aka carbynes, either cumulenic or polyynic. Tight binding models are presented in second quantization formulation and various famous aperiodic sequences (quasi-periodic or fractal) are analyzed.

description: The textbook introduces the student to the basic concepts of banking law,  by  helping them to comprehend  the institutions of the banking system within the European Union and in Greece  . Such a fundamental institution is the European Central Bank (ECB) which together with the national central banks of the member states constitute the European System of Central Banks, that serves the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), which is an advanced form of economic integration within the European Union (EU). The institutional framework of the European Banking Union is under examination; the basic pillars of the EMU and of the banking system within EU are scrutinized; the new framework of a European economic governance is also examined. The relationships between our country and the banking system of the European Union via the Eurosystem are delimited. The Eurosystem consists of the ECB together with the national central banks of the member states that have adopted the euro as their currency. One bank belonging to the Eurosystem is the Bank of Greece. The historical evolution, the competences and the important role the Bank of Greece for the greek banking system is examined. Moreover the structure of the greek banking system  in which the Bank of Greece supervises specific credit institutions and financial institutions (within a spirit of good faith and information sharing with ECB), is presented. The concepts of a credit institution and of a financial institution are scrutinized. Furthermore, the textbook examines issues of private banking law, such as the protection of the consumer of banking services, the legal relationship between a bank and a customer, the banking deposit, the banking account, the credit, the bank guarantee and the documentary of credit, certain kinds of negotiable instruments (bill of exchange, check), modern finance contracts, transfer of funds, bank transfers.

description: The objective of this book is to be a basic educational material in “Computational Intelligence and Deep Learning”. At first the basic concepts of Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms are presented. The association with Artificial Intelligence and the traditional search and optimization methods is discussed, as well as with the biological systems that they have inspired. The basic concepts of learning theory and the two learning paradigms (supervised and unsupervised learning) are provided. It follows the presentation of the basic training algorithms of the Artificial Neural Networks, with focus on the well-known algorithm, Error Back Propagation – EBP). The Deep Learning Networks, models and training, conclude the presentation of feedforward artificial neural networks. Next the Genetic/Evolutionary algorithms are founded and a case study is discussed - their combination in a hybrid algorithm-, and how to design and train an evolutionary neural network as well. Also, it is presented a short introduction to Genetic Programming (GP), that is a permutation of Evolutionary Algorithms, based on the Darwin’s evolution theory. Finally, two different unsupervised learning paradigms are presented. More specifically, the Hopfield Networks (a kind of autocorrelated memory) and Kohonen Networks (a kind of self-organized maps for data clustering) are presented, as well as their training algorithms. In all the chapters the objectives and the learning results are referred and it is quoted a sufficient number of examples, exercises and activities, that help in better understanding of the presented subjects. It will be very helpful for the readers to have basic knowledge of discrete mathematics, linear algebra, combinatorics and programming. Those who are interested to use these technologies for problem solving have to take care to access these skills. Otherwise, they will have troubles with the easy understanding of the material.

description: This book focuses on utilizing Mathematica and the Wolfram language for economic applications. It is not meant to be a manual for using Mathematica but aims to introduce readers to the necessary concepts needed to begin working with economic applications, even if they do not have prior programming experience. The approach taken relies on the historically older and more conservative commands and usages of the language. It acknowledges that there have been advancements in computing and the continuous expansion of command libraries. For instance, Mathematica can now interpret natural language and has access to numerous databases across scientific fields, as well as incorporating cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies. Though the use of these advanced features is encouraged, the text emphasizes the importance of understanding basic programming principles and the structure of the language before exploring more advanced features. The book's content is divided into three parts. In the first part, Mathematica is treated as a powerful calculator capable of performing simple arithmetic operations to complex higher mathematics problems using both symbolic and numerical methods. It also enables users to create various types of graphical representations. The second part introduces the Wolfram language as a general programming language that supports various programming paradigms (e.g., procedural programming, functional programming, etc.). This presentation assumes no prior programming knowledge but may assume knowledge of economic theory and mathematics in some cases. By combining programming capabilities with the rich set of built-in commands, readers can effectively tackle a range of mathematical and economic problems. The third part utilizes the concepts presented in the first two parts in a series of applications in economics, computational mathematics and financial mathematics. Presenting these applications often assumes knowledge of economic theory and mathematics.

description: The book focuses on the digital transformation of our cultural reality, which is most visible to all of us. The digital world is changing established learning and educational designs like almost no other social intersection. The admission of this reality is the central point of reference of this book, which is divided into two parts. The first part, which includes five chapters, develops the theoretical framework that documents digital learning at multiple levels. The second part, containing seven chapters, presents contemporary designs for education: educational video, mobile learning, augmented reality, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), digital storytelling, Gamified Digital Learning, assessment, and digital learning. Common elements are interactivity, the immediacy of learning environments, and the "coupling" of educational media, achieved through the convergence of technologies and the digitization of content. The book concludes with a thirteenth chapter that focuses on key pedagogical issues for designing digital learning. It acts as a framework for reflection by reminding principles such as the priority of educational design over technology, learning as a stable anthropological phenomenon that digital learning should follow, etc. The book has been created for university education at the undergraduate, postgraduate, and postdoctoral levels. It is addressed to students who will serve in primary education, students of departments related to secondary education subjects, and students of humanitarian, social, and cultural departments. Lastly, the book is particularly useful to educators who work or will work in preschool, primary, secondary, post-secondary, and university education.

description: The book introduces the reader to the world of blockchain technology, without the need for pre-requisite knowledge. The basic characteristics of the technology are presented and its most well-known networks (Bitcoin, Ethereum) are analyzed. Next, the use of asymmetric cryptography in blockchain technology is discussed, as well as the way transactions are performed in such a network. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of digital signatures in blockchain transactions. In the following chapter, the role of consensus in a distributed network is explained and details about how it is achieved in the two referenced networks mentioned earlier are provided. Also, the role of smart contracts is presented and examples of their writing and deployment in a blockchain network, suitable for testing, are given. The role and the use of tokens in a blockchain network are then analyzed. Emphasis is placed on understanding the different types of tokens that can be created, focusing on the differences and the description of the use cases best suited for each type. The reference network for the discussion about tokens is Ethereum and the basis is standards created in it for their implementation. The next step focuses on presenting how Decentralized Applications (DApps) work and apply, and mainly on the differences between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. Then, there is a presentation of popular use cases of blockchain technology, accompanied by the necessary arguments so as to analyze the gains made by implementing a solution based on this technology in each discussed case. For a more complete presentation of the area, towards the end of the book follows the presentation of Distributed Ledger Technologies, of which the blockchain is a subset. Finally, there is a practice chapter, with the presentation of an online open tool, which allows the reader to practice much of the subjects discussed in the previous chapters.

description: This project attempts to approach the topic of analysis and synthesis from Greek Antiquity, the Arabic tradition, and the European Renaissance up to the 18th century. It consists of three major sections. The first section approaches the method of analysis and synthesis in the ancient Greek mathematical tradition, from Plato to Pappus, which, first of all, includes the considerations of Plato and Aristotle, by using original passages from their treatises. Then a series of mathematical propositions from treatises by Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius, Heron, and Pappus is presented, case by case. Reference is made to theoretical issues of the method as they were posed and applied and, of course, as they influenced all posteriors in the Arab and Western European tradition. In the second section, we move on to analyzing and synthesizing the Arab mathematical tradition, from Ibrahim ibn-Sinan to Ibn al-Haytham, with the intermediate addition of Abu Sahl al-Kuhi. Their considerations, as well as their mathematical propositions, are presented. Finally, in the third section, we conclude with an analysis and synthesis of the European mathematical and, more broadly, scientific tradition from the Renaissance to the 18th century, from Viète to Leibniz. The third section includes, in addition to Viète and Leibniz, Galileo, Descartes, and Newton. The presentations include their theoretical approaches and case-by-case issues concerning mathematics, physics, and general methodology.

description:
This book is the first interdisciplinary writing attempt that not only aims to provide a theoretical framework for the major issue of crisis and disaster management but also to present specific examples and case studies from the contemporary international reality.
It covers, in an interdisciplinary manner, a wide range of relevant topics in light of the long experience and in-depth knowledge of renowned authors from a variety of disciplines. The recent common experience of the pandemic has amply demonstrated that the global community is faced with unknown or difficult-to-manage situations that directly attack the health of the general population: the health threat of COVID-19 was the most representative case of a crisis at multiple levels, the management of which required emergency and coordinated measures to deal with incidents, combining actions at a medical and a political level. Of course, such unforeseen catastrophic events include not only pandemics but also man-made disasters (such as terrorism, industrial accidents, wars, etc.) and natural phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, fires, volcanic eruptions, etc.).

description: Science communication aims at providing the public with simplified information about techno-scientific matters and at inspiring citizens to get actively involved in the production of the pertinent knowledge and in critically examining its effects on their daily lives. Bioethics is part of the so-called “applied ethics”, and it proposes the development of general public policies as well as the implementation of practical measures for dealing with various problems concerning life sciences, technology, and the environment, by taking into account certain moral and/or sociocultural values. In both these fields of study and research, framing, that is to say, the promotion of particular descriptions of the aforementioned dilemmas, their causal interpretations, and recommended ways of handling them, plays a decisive role in how citizens and politicians understand and approach said dilemmas. Thus, the manner in which the mass media, and especially ─in our day and age─ the digital ones, are used by science communicators (be they specialized journalists, lay individuals, or members of the scientific community) and by bioethical thinkers in the relevant public debates has significant ramifications as regards a broad spectrum of issues; to name but a few, from public health  to the potential dangers of robotics, and from climate change  to the required differentiation between useful popularization and misleading populism.

description: The book describes basic principles of General Chemistry, Organic and Biological Chemistry, which are essential for Agricultural Sciences. All the basic concepts are presented in a simple and understandable manner without going into details, as it is aimed at students of Agricultural Sciences at Institutes of Technology for whom knowledge of basic chemistry principles is essential. Each chapter of the book is accompanied by numerous examples to facilitate the understanding of the concepts, as well as by exercises (closed type, multiple choice, etc.) designed to enable the reader to self-assess the degree of understanding of the theory. The first part of the book, consisting of eleven self-contained chapters (chapters 1-11), lists elements of General Chemistry, such as atomic structure, Periodic Table, solutions, colloids, colloids, acids bases salts, pH redox reactions, chemical equilibrium. At the end of Part 1, in chapter 11, selected inorganic compounds of particular interest to Agricultural Sciences are described. In the second part, principles of organic chemistry are described. It consists of eight chapters. The first chapter of Part Two (chapter 12) describes the basic characteristics of organic compounds so that the reader can gradually become familiar with organic compounds. The following chapters (13th-19th) describe the specific characteristics, physical and chemical properties of the main homologous series (hydrocarbons, alcohols, phenols, aldehydes, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids and their derivatives, amines). The third part of the book, chapters 20-24, deals with the main biological molecules (carbohydrates, lipids and proteins) and describes their basic chemical properties. Chapter 23 describes enzymes and the basic principles of their function.The final chapter of Part 3 (chapter 24) briefly describes the metabolic pathways that occur in organisms and the processes of energy production in organisms.

description:
Observing as a quasi-pitive scientist in his laboratory the reactions or the behaviors of our compatriots, I was led and probably came to two main conclusions, which I  quote immediately: a) the lack of citizenship (citizenship) and b) in the dominance of the perception of the peculiar in our mentality and in our everyday life. My neologism "private" (or priblic), proposed at a Panhellenic Conference in 2011 (Theologοu-Veneti, 2011: 17-29) which I explain below, is produced from the composition of the words private and public. Citizenship and respect for public space are fundamental and constitutive components of a modern society and a modern state. In Greece, for various reasons, the institutionalization of such a legislative framework was not planned, so that citizenship would thrive in it and respect for the public or shared (κοινόχρηστος) space would be cultivated.
The catalyst of this modern Greek inadequacy is the almost ongoing territorial re-demarcation (1827-1947) of the country with inevitable demographic additions, mentalities and political cultures from former Ottoman “territories” with communal organization of political and social life. The work takes into account the specific historical reasons, with the varied cultural patterns and unclear value codes that have contributed to this extreme development of properties, which are on the one hand apolitical and anti-social and on the other hand deeply conservative, since they preserve the selfishness and clientelist characteristics of our political system. The objective of the monograph is to raise issues, without explicitly formulating them as questions or working hypotheses, which will be investigated systematically and analytically . The status of a citizen and its inseparable relationship with the public space indicatively certainly involves the area of rights, human, political etc., which in themselves constitute a more special and very important subject of this relationship; also, legal issues are involved (legal and not only urban planning), architecture, political science, ideological, sociological, cultural, value etc.

description: The book is a manual that analyzes the modern principles of Urban Planning for developing resilient cities. Today, the new conditions of climate change, social changes caused by urbanization, ever-changing economic conditions, and new technologies have greatly changed how cities are developed and how they function. Initially, the concept of resilience, and then the analysis of urban resilience and its characteristics are presented. Based on the spatial and thematic fields involved in resilient city planning, the book is structured into corresponding chapters to explore the individual urban resilience sectors. Key issues of urban planning related to the physical urban space sectors that determine the development of resilient cities are analyzed. In chapters, 2-7 contemporary urban issues such as urban density, development of urban functions, sustainable urban mobility, public space, the adaptation of space to natural disasters, and social resilience are analyzed. The next section examines the role and applications of new technologies that can contribute to more resilient cities. The book’s next section examines applied international and Greek policies for resilient cities. This section aims to analyze resilience strategies and spatial plans that have been implemented, to analyze the prioritization, effectiveness, and difficulties in the development of resilient cities. Finally, the chapter examines the spatial planning framework and the difficulties in the development of resilient cities in Greece.

description: The present book is addressed to undergraduate and/or postgraduate and doctoral students who attend courses or work on academic essays regarding Modern Greek music history, as well as music teachers or readers who are interested in expanding their knowledge around this specific field. This is an extensive monograph which concerns the formation of distinct and evolutionary aspects of modernism in Greek musical life and creation during the 20th century as well as their redefinition in the first decades of the 21st. The subject’s treatment involves the historiographical, music-analytical, stylistic, and aesthetic-ideological highlighting of the artistic expression and creative output by composers and institutions that defined this era, through various trends, schools, or repertoires. The interdisciplinary character of this volume is accompanied by extensive bibliographic documentation, which takes into account both the fruitful scientific output of the last thirty years, since the institution of Greek academic musicology, and its absolutely recent findings. As a result, the present book also serves as an up-to-date reference guide to modern Greek music historiography.

description: The purpose of this book is to briefly present the ‘Method of Isogeometric Analysis’ which is an extension of the well-known Finite Element Method mainly with the extensive use of NURBS. Since 2008, i.e. three years after the first appearance of the method, many European research projects have been implemented and some of them have resulted in open software which today constitutes material for the practice of students at the Master’s level, internationally. Also, in recent years the concept of isogeometric analysis is slowly being adopted by specialized and/or general-purpose commercial software. Due to the nature of the subject of Isogeometric Analysis, both sufficient knowledge of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and knowledge of the Finite Element Method (FEM) are required. Thus, the first five chapters of the book are dedicated to basic concepts of CAD theory and especially to the theory of describing curves, surface areas (patches) and the Cartesian product (tensor product) for the description of surfaces and structured volumes (blocks). Without detailed mathematical proofs, special effort has been made to provide in each chapter the absolutely necessary knowledge for the practical application of Isogeometric Analysis, and not CAD per se. In Chapter 6, computer codes are listed for programming the procedures mentioned in Chapters 1 to 5. In Chapters 7-12, an extensive application of the Isogeometric Method is made in the solution of partial differential equations of all kinds, while in Chapter 13, a historical overview, which covers the beginnings up to the modern trends of the Isogeometric Method, is presented. Starting from one-dimensional problems, the primary concepts of the robustness matrix and the mass matrix are introduced. Second-order differential equations are covered, which concern both field problems (Heat transmission, sound propagation-Acoustics) and Static and Elastodynamic Analysis of Structures. Also, fourth-order equations are covered, which relate to the bending of beams and plates as well as thin shells.

description: The book aims to acquaint students who do not have a legal background with legal issues in the field of culture, with an emphasis on the protection and management of cultural heritage in its various aspects (intangible - tangible, ancient - modern, etc.), in examining the institutions that oversee and enhance cultural production and culture, and in issues of intellectual property in artworks. Enriched with practical examples and cases that national, European and American courts have dealt with, the book focuses on i)  the conceptual demarcation and legal protection of cultural heritage, ii) the conceptual demarcation and legal protection of contemporary artistic creation, iii) the presentation of cultural institutions and bodies (Ministry, state and private museums, independent bodies, cultural centres, artists run spaces etc.). In more detail, this book explores the art world from a legal perspective. We deal with the protection of artworks, both as cultural goods and as intellectual creations. We investigate the considered relationship between the law of art and the protection of cultural goods on the one hand and the law of intellectual property on the other and we cite typical examples of interaction among them. We present a wealth of jurisprudential examples from the art world which concerned the legal world and highlight how topical and interesting these issues are and how useful the law's contribution to culture is. We study and deeply understand the cultural bodies and organizations that oversee and enhance cultural production. This book sums up the lectures of the "Legal and Institutional Framework of Culture" course of the Department of Communication, Media and Culture of Panteion University.

description: Based on primary Byzantine sources and on an extremely large number of unpublished material with scenes of the Last Judgment, from Byzantine and post-Byzantine tradition, but also on oral testimonies of Greek popular culture, we examine the form of biopower constructed by the image of hell, where the fallen from paradise. It is no coincidence that in the scenes of torture the bodies in hell are sometimes represented by their secretions and therefore they become infectious bodies. In this context  the nature of hell is referred as heterotοpic that delimits the environment of otherness which is characterized from uncertainty and runs  the risk of deflowerment Hell is the place of the demonic, which represents the discharge of the thymic, the animality of reproduction and unrhythmic sexuality, the monstrous and inhuman nature, evident in the fantasy representation of the black-faced and winged monster with hybrid features, familiar in popular culture. The latter expresses the entanglement of sexuality and genetic abnormality which is anything but distanced from animal primogeniture. On the other hand, the salvation of heaven is indicated, in contrast to the destruction of hell, by the construction of a familiar and an alien body, an able-bodied body and a body that has lost its integrity and is miasmatic, to which are emphatically subscribed the co-demonstrations of rape practices (loss of purity). Consequently, the environment of hell, in contrast to that of heaven, makes clear the distinction between embodied and disembodied states, while heaven, for the sake of celibacy, is placed outside the narrow limits of demographic (reproductive) anguish.

description: This book presents an introduction to Queueing Theory, which is a multidisciplinary area in the intersection of Applied Mathematics (mainly of Operations Research and Applied Probability), of Engineering (Industrial, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering), of Computer Science, as well as of Management Science. To this end, the book introduces the reader to the study of service systems, using mathematical models that represent input-output systems of customers who receive some form of service from servers that operate under a certain degree of uncertainty. The book starts with a brief overview of the various stages in the study of queueing systems which comprise the mathematical modeling, the performance evaluation, the optimal design, the optimal control, the quantification of the strategic behavior and the comparison with other queueing systems. Then, the book focuses in greater detail on the mathematical modeling and the performance evaluation of service systems. Towards this direction, we first present some basic mathematical tools of Queueing Theory that comprise concepts, theorems and computational results from Probability Theory and in particular from the theory of Markov chains. Later, we present a systematic study of the most fundamental queueing systems that appear in the literature, starting from systems that are represented by birth-death processes (of M/M/1 type) and moving towards more complex systems that require general Markov chains. Moreover, we study the basic queueing networks of Jackson type that fall within the Markovian framework and the classical non-Markovian models that appear in the literature (of type M/G/1 and G/M/1). Finally, the introduction to the field is completed with an overview of the more advanced topics of optimal design, of optimal control and of the strategic customer behavior in queueing systems.

description:
In the present textbook the traumatology of the upper extremity (shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand), including injuries to bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, vessels, nerves and skin defects, in adults and children, is presented.
Upper extremity trauma is particularly common, varying in severity -from simple injuries and skin lacerations to severely injured extremities (mangled) and amputations- and represents a frequent cause of disability.
The textbook presents in detail the anatomy of the upper limb, the basic mechanisms of trauma (soft tissue and skeletal) and the biomechanics of fractures and lists: the diagnostic approach to upper extremity injuries, the clinical problems according to the injured tissue and age, the treatment options [first aid, placement of splints and conservative treatment, methods of bone fixation (osteosynthesis) and soft tissue reconstruction (tendon suturing, nerve suturing, ligament repair)] as well as minimally invasive techniques, the complications, the rehabilitation.
Early and correct diagnosis and treatment of upper extremity trauma ensure the best functional outcome and the avoidance of complications, while the knowledge of the latest surgical reconstructive techniques contributes to the best possible outcome.
Emphasis has been placed on the presentation of clinical series, as well as on reduction/reconstruction techniques (non-surgical and surgical), with multiple photographs and illustrations, aiming at the training of  students and residents and at the continuous education of doctors of different specialties (orthopaedic surgery, traumatology, emergency medicine, neurosurgery, physical and rehabilitation medicine, sports medicine), health professionals (nurses, physical therapists) and coaches, in the context of lifelong learning.

description:
The main objective of this book is to shed light on the correspondence between the different types of unemployment, economic theories on their causes, and the policies these theories propose to combat the causes and eliminate unemployment. It fills an important gap in Greek literature since it is the first textbook on employment policy, including its design and evaluation.
The book seeks to familiarize students with the different conceptual approaches and definitions of unemployment, the different ways of its measurement, the diversity of the phenomenon and the unequal distribution of its risk among different social groups, its theoretical interpretations, and policies to deal with it.
In addition, it aims to introduce students to the design principles and implementation challenges of employment policies and the types, techniques, and methods of employment policy evaluation.
Finally, it aims to achieve the fullest possible understanding of the above issues through the connection of theory with applied policy at international, European, and national levels.

description: The book is an introduction and overview, at the undergraduate level, to quantum optics. We analyze the quantum nature of light. We focus on the interaction processes between a photon and a two-level system. We explain what is continuous and what is discrete energy spectrum, as well as intermediate cases such as low-dimensional structures. The interaction of electromagnetic field with matter is tackled, in the first stage, semi-classically, where the electromagnetic field is treated classically and the matter quantum-mechanically. We explain in detail to which extent optical transitions between energy levels are allowed. Then, the interaction between electromagnetic field and matter is treated quantum-mechanically, i.e., the electromagnetic field consists of photons. We explain ladder operators and the differences between bosons and fermions, commutation and anticommutation. Then, we introduce the concept of density matrix and density operator. We explain the operating principles of LASERs. Finally, we develop several related topics. The book contains exercises, auxiliary mathematics and illustrative matlab programs.

description: The monograph attempts the theoretical connection of anthropological theory with digital education and ODL. Its purpose is the critical assessment of the impact that the transition to the digital condition has had on the conceptualizations of knowledge, community and the individual and the highlighting of the continuities and responses that are manifested between apparently “unprecedented” cognitive conditions and older forms of transmission of human knowledge, often conceived as “traditional”. The monograph seeks to expand the theoretical grounding of teaching and learning practices beyond the field of education. The book aspires to expose open and distance education to readings that support the interdisciplinary, fluid and multi-prismatic nature of contemporary digitally-mediated knowledge.

description:
Nowadays, optical communications and networks support the spread of the Internet in every aspect. It is no exaggeration to say that data travels in the form of light across the planet. Photons reach our homes using the FTTH technologies, across oceans hundreds of fiber links interconnect continents with data rates of Tbps, while satellites communicate with each other with beams of light. Even inside the cloud infrastructures of big technological giants such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc., the data exchange between servers is performed over fiber links, while soon photons will interconnect the processors inside a motherboard.
This book captures state-of-the-art developments in the science and technology about optical communications and networks. First, it presents their historical development, focusing on state-of-the-art services and trends. It presents the structure of the optical fiber, studying the propagation in it. It also presents the technologies of optical devices such as couplers, amplifiers, transmitters etc. and studies modulation and detection schemes. Emphasis is placed on optical multiplexing techniques and especially on WDM and its functional components such as multiplexers etc.
Since all-optical networking is a contemporary challenge, this book studies optical switching, routing, wavelength assignment and conversion, and gives the operating principles of optical devices such as add/drop multiplexers, OXCs etc.
Moreover, this book presents architectures and protocols at all optical networking scales. In particular, it presents architectures of local area optical broadcast-and-select networks, studying various synchronous and asynchronous transmission protocols, multiple access protocols and their performance. Additionally, it presents the key technologies of optical access networks, such as FTTx, new generation PONs and free space links. Finally, it gives the design principles of optical MANs, such as SONET/SDH, as well as the ΟΤΝ architecture.
This book concludes by describing the principles of OBS networks studying the burst assembly mechanism and various signaling protocols.

description: This textbook examines key dimensions of politics in Greece, with an emphasis on the period of the Third Hellenic Republic. The study of these dimensions is primarily carried out using archival material as well as critically examining existing studies. A key perspective in the analysis of Greek politics is how political and social actors perceive and interpret the social and political dynamics and how they act. In this context, it examines the values that shape identities and frame the actions of citizens and social groups (e.g., political culture), as well as the specific manifestations of these actions (e.g., forms of political participation). Emphasis is placed on party and electoral competition in the period 1974-2019, on the political and ideological characteristics of the main political forces and their change or stability over time, on the economic programs that these political forces promote (economic development plans), as well as on political representation, by examining the characteristics of the members of the Greek and European Parliament and their changing profiles over time. Finally, the role of the modern Greek state, from its formation until today, is examined, as well as the scientific debate regarding the Greek state and the domestic "civil society", the state’s intervention and its role in the formation of Greek society and economy, together with the functions and characteristics of the Greek state in a globalized world.

description:
In an era of rapid digital convergence, a wide web of digital environments, platforms, complex technologies, and services – such as blogs, social networking applications, Wikis, learning management systems, online games, 3D role-playing games, and simulations – overwhelms everyday life. us. Several of these new digital technologies affect both young user-teachers' learning maturation and older teacher-users' training. Today, digital technologies are part of the educational process and dynamically expand the possibilities of both the teacher in providing knowledge and the learner in acquiring knowledge.
This volume seeks to introduce students/readers to the radical upheavals that digital technologies suggest for literacy, the cultural practices of reading and writing, and, in particular, for learning a foreign language/culture. In the context of contemporary digital humanities studies, which are currently at the center of the debate to strengthen their presence in the academic and social space, the handbook on digital technologies in foreign language/culture teaching has a theoretical as well as practical orientation.
At the level of theory, it clarifies and analyzes basic concepts of modern digital technologies, explains their theoretical origins, and presents their advantages and disadvantages in language teaching issues.
On a practical level, it presents a wide range of digital tools/applications available to the teacher of a foreign, second, or native language, to develop modern language activities of comprehension and production of spoken and written language in his students. All suggested digital tools and their applications, grouped appropriately, are accompanied by specific usage scenarios describing their utilization in detail.

description:
Cosmology is one of the most current fields of research and discoveries in modern Physics. Since the end of the twentieth century, many books have been published in this field and in all related branches of Physics, such as Relativity, Gravitation and Astrophysics, some of which are landmarks in the scientific field. Also, many important articles have been published that are points of reference in their field, because they are treated with special attention by the scientific community. At the same time, with the development of the Internet, free, abundant educational material is available. These learning resources are evaluated for validity to be useful to any interested student, researcher, or reader.
The bibliographic guide aims to classify and organize this material into areas relevant to the science of Cosmology. It consists of 11 chapters and an introductory chapter. In order the reader will find Special and General Relativity, gravity, primordial and inflationary universe. Next are General Cosmology, black holes, dark matter, and energy, and modified and alternative gravity. The guide concludes with Astrophysical and Observational Cosmology. The chapters have been put into a sequence, like the teaching flow of a corresponding 13-week academic course. The innovation of the guide lies in the extensive references to educational and teaching material available on the Internet and coming from reputable and established scientists in the field from all over the world.
With this guide, we hope to assist in the research and learning of anyone interested. In addition, we expect that stimuli for further research and search will be given, as at the end of each chapter we mention books and sources that we consider important, but due to limited space, are not analyzed thoroughly. We hope that the guide will be useful to every reader.

description: In this book, the structure, composition and dynamics of the atmosphere, as well as the climate system, are studied. The effect of solar radiation on Earth's surface and on the atmosphere is also presented, while the dynamics of temperature, humidity and pressure are examined. The Earth's energy balance is, then, analyzed using simple models. Basic principles of thermodynamics are introduced for the study of atmospheric balance and the change of temperature and pressure with height, as well as the equations of motion for the transport of gaseous masses in the atmosphere. Ocean circulation and the factors that affect it are also studied. Greenhouse gas emissions from man-made sources as well as natural ones,are calculated. Gaseous pollutants and suspended particles, mathematical models for the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere and climate models are also studied. Furthermore, the interaction of the oceans with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is examined. The interaction of solar radiation with atmospheric pollutants and clouds is one of the most important components in understanding climate. Therefore , the laws of radiation and the interaction of gaseous and particulate pollutants with solar radiation are examined. Finally, the textbook analyzes the criteria for the implementation of restrictive measures for greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere and it examines scenarios of changes in greenhouse gas emissions in the climate.
