description:
The fields of Computational Chemistry and Molecular Modeling involve the development and application of computational methods for studying molecular structure and physicochemical and spectroscopic properties of chemical systems. The methods fall into two distinct scientific fields, Quantum Chemistry, which applies Quantum Mechanics to chemical systems, and Molecular Mechanics/Dynamics,  which apply Classical and Analytical Mechanics and Statistical Physics. Through dialectical handling of the topics, the book strives to cultivate in readers a critical understanding of the significance and limitations of the different computational models. In quantum chemical computational models, theories such as Hartree–Fock, Møller–Plesset perturbation theory, configuration interaction theory, coupled cluster theory, and density functional theory are presented. In classical computational models, force fields and the dynamics of chemical systems through Molecular Dynamics are presented and analysed. General computational techniques, such as partial or full geometry optimisations, scanning of potential energy surface, and vibrational analysis, are introduced. The book provides combined knowledge, covering both fundamental theoretical frameworks and practical applications in computational analysis, aiming to enable readers to conduct independent research and analysis in their field. The theoretical development of the topics is complemented by examples and applications using well-known scientific software, allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems.
This book serves as an introduction to the theoretical principles and application methodologies of the aforementioned computational models. It is primarily addressed to students of Chemistry, Material Science, Chemical Engineering, and Physics departments. These subjects are taught either as standalone courses or partially integrated into other courses such as Theoretical and Quantum Chemistry, Molecular Physics, Applied Quantum Mechanics, Inorganic and Organic Chemistry, and Spectroscopy.

description: Substantial environmental reasons have decisively contributed to the large penetration of renewable energy sources (RES) in producing electrical energy. Given that RES mainly produce substantial amounts of power utilising wind turbines and photovoltaic (PV) systems, the control technologies of these systems play a significant role in their development and further penetration in electricity production. Technical issues regarding the various prevalent topologies for the diverse types of wind turbines and PV systems are thoroughly analyzed both at the descriptive level as well as at the level of their dynamic operation. Issues of maximizing the generated power based on external conditions or optimizing quality characteristics such as reactive power injections, etc., are theoretically analyzed and then used to design appropriate control schemes. Integrated solutions are proposed, which consider all the individual systems and devices, such as filters, lines and controlled power electronics devices that constitute the power interface to the local loads or the grid. The analysis is developed based on the overall dynamic/mathematical description of the complete system considered each time, incorporating the required control and feedback loops. The entire analysis is based on systems theory with stability being a condition that is incorporated and satisfied while simultaneously the main control objectives are being fulfilled. In this way, it is possible to make specific design calculations for the complete wind turbine and photovoltaic systems. The operation of RES with an emphasis on wind turbines and photovoltaic systems is also crucial for modern power systems. The exchange of energy both from and to the main grid is already taking place, while the emergence of new local systems such as microgrids, energy storage systems, etc., makes even more essential the need for the proper development of the control technologies of all the units, which are analyzed in this book.

description: It is common in Probability Theory that the distribution of random variables concentrates around a typical value, in the limit of some parameter. A classic example is the law of large numbers, by which the average of independent, identically distributed random variables concentrates around their common mean, as their number tends to infinity. Whenever we can infer an asymptotically typical behaviour, it is natural to ask about typical fluctuations, as well as the probability to observe a large deviation from the typical behaviour. This question, that is the asymptotic analysis of rare events and its consequences, is the central question of the Theory of Large Deviations. More than an area of Probability Theory, the Theory of Large Deviations is a set of principles, ideas and tools that can be useful in very diverse areas of Probability, and, in this sense it intersects most areas of Probability Theory. The aim of this book is to introduce the reader to the Theory of Large Deviations, as well as to showcase its many applications, which even extend to other scientific disciplines.

description: This textbook intends to fill a significant gap in the domestic literature on the topic of small entrepreneurship. It critically examines core issues on the dynamics and limits of action of small entrepreneurship with emphasis on its spatial dimensions. During the recent forty years, the small enterprise, and more specifically the start-ups, have been the subject of systematic study by complementary social sciences. A common feature of most approaches is that they move away from the study of the business as a closed system with emphasis on the characteristics of the entrepreneur and the performance of economic indicators, towards a broader approach that pays particular attention to the interaction of the firm with its local environment. It is, now, obvious that the success or failure of a small business is firmly affected by its wider economic, institutional, social, and cultural environments. Hence, Economic Geography is an appropriate field to study small entrepreneurship. The textbook is mainly addressed to postgraduate students in the fields of Geography, Spatial Planning and Regional Development and intends to familiarise them with a cutting-edge topic. The individual chapters explore issues that are found at the center of theoretical debates and present the international and domestic experience on the dynamics of small entrepreneurship and its impact on people and places. The first part presents the contemporary morphology of small firms and proposes a framework for the study of small entrepreneurship. The second part studies four types of inclusive entrepreneurship that have gained particular significance in the context of the prolonged crisis. Finally, the two chapters of the third part focus on the small entrepreneurship in Greece.

description: Earth’s atmosphere is vital to life and wellbeing. Air pollutants are generated from natural as well as from anthropogenic sources and contribute to air pollution in local, urban, regional, continental, or even global scale. Air pollution control aims to reduce emissions directly at the source of occurrence (i.e. firefighting) and with air pollution strategies and policies (i.e. use of catalytic converters in vehicles). Air pollution has been observed since ancient times, while a sharp increase has been recorded during the industrial revolution, and at the beginning of the mass production of vehicles. Indoor and outdoor air pollutant characteristics, as well as the pollutant source and measurement, combined with economic data (e.g. GDP) contribute to decision-making strategies and policies. In addition, air pollution is affected by the atmospheric transport processes of the pollutants and of the physico-chemical processes of their transformation. Dispersion models have been developed to identify the source of pollution, but also to predict pollutant concentrations. The reduction of atmospheric pollution can be achieved either by limiting the formation of the pollutants and its emission at the source, or by using an after-treatment technology. The effect of air pollution on human health, the ecosystems and the climate change are important, and the different countries are investing in research and establishing laws to reduce the emissions of air pollutants and of greenhouse gases emissions locally and globally.

description:
The present textbook is a Grammar of Modern Greek (written in English) which aims at familiarising intermediate learners with the grammar of levels B1-B2. The material presented in this book follows up the material presented in Modern Greek: Grammar Notes for Absolute Beginners (Kallipos, 2015) keeping roughly the same principles and method of presentation:
•	Grammar points are presented in an everyday conversational style, which echoes teaching in class.
 The grammatical presentation is not exhausted in teaching the form/structure, it is combined with extensive comments regarding use/function. In cases where a form/structure relates to various uses/functions, the explanation given is based on a common semantic schema which takes different interpretations depending on the context.
•	The grammatical information is combined with practical guidance regarding Modern Greek grammars and dictionaries (e.g., how “passive” verbs are registered).
•	A particular emphasis is given to the strategies learners should develop in order to handle complex phenomena like aspect.
•	The presentation is based on numerous real-life examples (translated into English) to help learners fully understand a particular point.
•	Grammar points are combined with points about communication and culture, which have a linguistic reference.
The textbook consists of 11 chapters and a glossary (as a continuous text). It aims at covering the needs of intermediate learners, but also of those of the advanced level. Ιt could, also, be used as a reference book for teachers of these particular levels and for those who wish to advance their knowledge on Modern Greek.

description: The aim of this investigation is to enhance the practice of social work. To comprehend the roles of subjective decision-making and structural circumstances, a theoretical framework and analytical approach are necessary. Consequently, social workers face demanding tasks in managing vital and challenging issues concerning the livelihood trajectories of socially vulnerable individuals and groups. The sociological perspective, with its theoretical and research tools and methods, is contributing in investigating and managing social inequality, discrimination, and exclusion. The professional characteristics and current role of the Social Worker have undergone significant differentiation. Today, it is acknowledged that Social Work is structurally shaped by social factors and conditions. Social stratification processes, a structural feature of Western modern class societies, lead to social exclusion, vulnerability, and ultimately, social inequality. Based on the foregoing argument, it can be deduced that managing pathology or vulnerability is only a short-term measure. In the long run, a sustainable solution to vulnerability and pathology requires the undoing of a pathological culture. A long-term approach that considers the social and community factors that contribute to its development is necessary. Finally, sociological conceptualisation enables social workers to reflect critically beyond managing the effects of a phenomenon, towards reconsidering the underlying structural conditions that cause it. It also facilitates addressing the corresponding behaviors, attitudes, and practices that reproduce the phenomenon. Thus, the current study focuses on the 'social' and aims to enhance the Social Worker's toolbox to manage complex social issues, particularly those resulting from Permacrises phenomenon.

description: The book explores various dimensions, views, approaches and perspectives in music didactics in theory and practice. It focuses on the teaching of music in all educational contexts and educational levels. It particularly focuses on primary and secondary general education; it also examines didactic issues concerning the teaching of music in music schools, conservatories, philharmonic societies, individual instrumental lessons, choirs, and any context where music is taught. The book consists of eleven chapters that fall into three parts. The first three chapters deal with the pedagogical dimension of music teaching-learning and aims at shaping the pedagogical identity of the music teacher. The next four chapters are dedicated to four music educators of the 20th century and their educational initiatives that contributed to the development of modern music education theory and practice. Those are: the eurythmics introduced by Jacques-Dalcroze, teaching of group singing through Zoltán Kodály's method, the elemental musical education by Orff-Schulwerk, and learning a musical instrument through Suzuki's approach. The last four chapters are dedicated to four modern music pedagogical pillars that have significantly enriched music education today: a) Creativity, which shaped music teaching and learning guided by imagination and experimentation, b) Intersubjectivity, a practice that trains teachers to explore connections between concepts around music and other subject areas, c) the Inter-artistic approach, that stands for the dialogue among music and other arts, and d) Interculturality that helps people to listen with the ears of “the other” and see with the eyes of “the other.” The book aims at shaping the music pedagogical identity of the modern music educator, combining elements from pedagogical and music pedagogical theory, research and practice. It adopts a praxial music education focus, where music practice is inspired by the reflective-critical music teacher.

description: Sexuality is an extremely complex function with several intertwined biologic and psychological components, the formulation of which is affected by genetic, anatomic, hormonal, psychological, and social factors. The present work, the first Greek textbook dedicated exclusively to sexuality, firstly investigates the formation and function of the genital system in both sexes, as well as the disorders in sex development. It analyzes the physiology of sexual response (arousal and orgasm) and it reports the latest data regarding the effect of genetic variability (gene polymorphisms) on sexual function. It addresses the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the most common disorders of male and female sexuality. It investigates the issue of gender identity, in particular how gender can be a cause of dysphoria in transgender persons and how this dysphoria can be treated. It explores ways in which sexuality, a predominantly psycho-biological function, is affected by chronic psychiatric diseases, while it analyzes uncommon forms of sexual expression (paraphilias). It refers to the differences and problems in male and female sexual function that might arise with aging as well as to the interventions that could improve them, and it explores the importance of sexuality in the lives of persons with disabilities. It investigates the potential effects of hormonal contraception, hormone replacement treatments, and other pharmaceuticals on sexual function. Last but not least, it delves into the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of the most important sexually transmitted diseases.

description:
The present textbook aims to function as a source of information and of a critical understanding of 20th-century Greek music. It is based on the thriving general recent research, as well as on the writer’s previous extended research on this field. This textbook aspires to provide a multi-layered understanding of Greek music, based on historical, analytical and aesthetic approaches.
It consists of an introductory chapter, which discusses the state of the research on the field and questions and problematizes the existent historiographical and analytical approaches, and nine chapters that develop three wider topics.
The first topic focuses on Greek music history. More specifically, it focuses οn how, and why, different aesthetic movements emerged and dominated during different periods of the 20th century. The second topic is discussed in four chapters that consist of different analytical approaches to the music of the era. The specific topics discussed are: the relationship between music and speech, the different approaches to the issue of modal structure in the music of the first half of the century, the interesting assimilation of twelve-note technique by early Greek modernism and the wider osmosis of Greek musical modernism with Greek ancient drama, as text and performance.
The last, extended chapter, discusses the third theme of the book: the aesthetic and cultural approaches to Greek music of the era. It centres on the notions of organicism and Greekness and asserts that these two ideas essentially offer two potent theoretical tools in order to understand the course of Greek art music of the 20th century as a whole.
In short, this textbook offers to the reader a multidimensional narrative of the course of 20-century Greek music: from historical information, to detailed analytical observation, to aesthetic and cultural contemplation and interpretation.

description: This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of α rationale for the design and development of Serious Digital Games (SDG). It addresses the gap between conventional game design, which prioritize entertainment, and SDG, which are specifically crafted to facilitate learning. The book is structured into four distinct sections. The first section explores the concept of games and contextualizes it within the literature. It delves into the definitions of games and SDG, while also presenting the main theoretical frameworks that underpin various conceptualizations of games. This section concludes with an in-depth review of empirical research on how digital games contribute to learning. The second section addresses issues related to SDG. Specifically, the main game components are presented: system, rules, mechanics, and story. Additionally, various SDG models are comparatively examined. Finally, a comprehensive synthetic model for SDG design is introduced that integrates four main dimensions: conventional, academic, narrative, and learning. The third section delves into the processes involved in game asset development. Based on the serious game scenario, an overview of the process of concept art is briefly presented. Next, the various modeling techniques are analyzed and the principal methods for texture creation are illustrated and explained. Furthermore, the process of animation is introduced using skeletal systems and rigs. This section is concluded with a presentation of lighting, shadows, and rendering. The final section explores issues related to programming the game logic. Specifically, the main game engine sub-systems are presented and the script creation processes are analyzed, discussing both visual scripting and high-level language scripting. Overall, this textbook serves as a comprehensive guide to the design and development of SDG. It offers a grounded approach that integrates educational, learning, artistic, and technical dimensions.

description: Sign languages (SLs), as well as Greek Sign Language (GSL), use motion for expression and vision for perception. Similarly, spoken languages use sound and hearing. The physical articulatory organs of different organ systems of SLs can be simultaneously active, unlike spoken languages; this feature is termed as ‘non-linearity’ in SLs: different fingers or hands can be active, in various points in physical space, accompanied by activity in the area of eyes, eyebrows, mouth, torso etc. This unique feature results in common cross-linguistic traits among SLs. Comparison of SLs with cross-linguistic traits brings up common features as well as significant differences. Some of the most prominent differences between signed and spoken languages, as well as their repercussions in forming different linguistic systems, in language use and in communication practices expand well beyond a narrow grammatical description into related fields of language studies. For example, SLs make use of larger groups of muscles for their formation, while their articulators are more visible and mature earlier in life; in SLs eye contact is a requirement for the establishment of communication, etc. These linguistic prerequisites are prominent in SL etymology, in the close relation between morphosyntax, semantics and pragmatics, in stages of language development, in communication practices and norms, in the development of a sociolinguistic identity and worldview among sign language users, as well as in the technical means of linguistic transmission and transcription. The linguistic structure of GSL, as an autonomous language used mainly in the geographical area of Greece, is described in the core grammar part of the book following the classic levels of linguistic analysis. Sociolinguistic issues and issues of historical development of GSL have also played a significant part in its present form. As is apparent, there is special reference of each of the above issues in chapters or subchapters of the present short description of Greek Sign Language.

description: L’ouvrage Droit européen et comparé de la non-discrimination est le fruit de l’enseignement commun à la Faculté de Droit de l’Université Aristote de Thessalonique. Il ne se limite pas à examiner les droits de l’espace juridique européen mais est enrichi d’éléments de droit comparé dont l’origine se situe hors Europe et, en particulier, du droit américain qui a élaboré les notions juridiques fondamentales de cette branche. L’ouvrage n’épuise pas tous les aspects du droit de la non-discrimination. Il est divisé en deux parties dont chacune aborde un point essentiel : les notions fondamentales de cette branche du droit et les motifs de discrimination. Six unités thématiques sont examinées. La première unité thématique aborde la notion d’égalité et présente les différences entre les notions d’égalité et de discrimination et les divers aspects de l’égalité. La deuxième unité présente la genèse du droit de la non-discrimination dans les ordres juridiques de tradition anglo-américaine, l’accueil de ce droit par les organismes internationaux et supranationaux et, enfin, sa transplantation dans les ordres juridiques d’Europe continentale. La troisième unité thématique aborde les différentes formes de discrimination du point de vue des divers aspects de l’égalité. Les points abordés sont la discrimination directe en tant qu’expression de l’égalité formelle, la discrimination indirecte en tant qu’expression de l’entreprise d’ajustement du principe d’égalité à la réalité sociale, le harcèlement en tant que forme de discrimination et d’atteinte à la dignité humaine et les mesures positives, dans leur double qualité, c’est-à-dire, en tant que dérogation au principe de l’égalité de traitement et en tant qu’expression de l’égalité substantielle. Les trois dernières unités thématiques de l’ouvrage portent sur les motifs de discrimination. Ainsi, la quatrième unité examine les modes de réglementation et les critères de sélection des motifs de discrimination. La cinquième unité examine certains motifs de discrimination, tels que le sexe, l’identité de genre et l’orientation sexuelle, la race, l'origine ethnique et la religion, le handicap et l’âge. Quant à la sixième unité, elle est consacrée à l’intersectionnalité et aux discriminations multiples. Il s’agit, en substance, de l’interaction et de l’accumulation des motifs de discrimination, question qui fait l’objet de débats animés depuis quelques années, dans les ordres juridiques aussi bien anglo-américains qu’européens, et qui met en avant l’aspect multi-facettes du droit de non-discrimination.

description: The present manual entitled "European and Comparative Αnti-Discrimination Law" is the result of a joint teaching at the Law School of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.  The material of the book does not only focus on the laws of the European legal area. It is further enriched with comparative law information derived mainly from the laws of the Anglo-American tradition and in particular from American law that has shaped the fundamental concepts of the field. The book does not exhaust all aspects of anti-discrimination law. In its two parts, it addresses two key issues: the fundamental concepts of the discipline, on the one hand, and the grounds of discrimination, on the other hand. The book is divided into six thematic sections. In the first thematic section, the concept of equality, differentiation between equality and discrimination as well as the individual versions of equality, are approached. The second thematic section presents the genesis of anti-discrimination law in the legal orders of the Anglo-American legal tradition, its infiltration into the law of international and supranational organisations, and its further transplantation into the laws of continental Europe. The third thematic section of the book approaches the various forms of discrimination from the perspective of the different versions of equality. It examines direct discrimination as an expression of formal equality, indirect discrimination as an attempt to adapt the principle of equality to the needs of social reality, harassment as a form of discrimination and as an affront to human dignity, and positive action in its dual version as an exception to the principle of equal treatment and as an expression of substantive equality. The last three sections of the book deal with the grounds of discrimination. The fourth thematic section examines the ways of regulating these grounds and the criteria for their selection. The fifth thematic section analyses a number of grounds of discrimination, such as gender, gender identity and sexual orientation, race, ethnic origin and religion, disability, and age, while the sixth thematic section addresses intersectionality and multiple discrimination. In essence, this is the issue of the intertwining and confluence of grounds of discrimination that has been intensely debated in recent years, not only in the Anglo-American but also in the European legal orders, giving a multidimensional perspective to anti-discrimination law.

description: This book attempts to map the history of mania and melancholia in the medical thought of Greco-Roman antiquity through the selection, translation and extensive commentary of a number of texts dating from the 5th century BC to the 5th century AD. The first chapter focuses on the Hippocratic collection --the first systematic medical corpus that has survived to us from antiquity (5th-4th century BC). The second chapter focuses on De medicina by the encyclopedist Celsus (1st century AD), who lived and produced his work at Rome at the time when Tiberius was emperor. The third and fourth chapters examine the views of Aretaeus of Cappadocia (1st-2nd century AD) and Galen (2nd century AD) respectively. From Aretaeus we have a treatise entitled On the causes and signs of acute and chronic diseases. Aretaeus' chapters on mania and melancholia stand out as excellent examples of a kind of writing that combines clinical precision with literary merit and aspirations. Galen, in his turn, is by far the most important physician of Greco-Roman antiquity. The fifth and final chapter deals with the De morbis acutis et chronics by Caelius Aurelianus (4th-5th century AD). This text is a Latin translation of the (lost) Περὶ ὀξέων καὶ χρονίων παθῶν by Soranus of Ephesus (1st-2nd century AD). In translating the Greek original, Caelius adds his own personal voice, thus giving us the opportunity to follow the medical developments on the topic of mania and melancholia in late antiquity.

The Gauge Transformations have been a research tool in the sense that the request that the Schroedinger is invariant under those transformations leads to the introduction of interactions, e.g. electromagnetic. Chapter 1 is an introduction to electromagnetic fields and potentials. Chapter 2 is referred to Lagrange and Hamilton equations for charged particles inside an external electromagnetic field. Chapter 3 is referred to operators in quantum mechanics. Chapter 4 introduces the average values of the quantum quantities. Chapter 5 studies the time evolution of the average values. Chapter 6 describes the Ehrenfest theorem. Finally, chapter 7 is referred to the Aharonov-Bohm effect.

description: This book discusses major contemporary trends in literary theory and criticism, casting light upon their different modes of reading, interpreting or evaluating literary, cultural and social phenomena, and emphasizing how such trends changed (and continue to alter) the ways we contemplate on literature, culture and humanity. The author’s intention is not to deal with the entirety of the theoretical schools of literature that made their appearance from the beginning of the twentieth century till now, or venture into an exhaustive historical and philological analysis of how those theories evolved, how they developed their methodologies, or under what circumstances they flourished. Rather, this study delves into a comparative and critical discussion of important literary theories as a cross-fertilization of ideas and concepts. Such a cross-fertilization will not only provide the tools for rethinking the value of literary studies but also broach the question of theory’s (rather than merely literary theory’s) relevance to the present moment in politics, culture and society, mostly in terms of the treatment of identity, gender, race, language, and the representations of truth at the end of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty-first centuries. In other words, this project demonstrates how contemporary literary theory has germinated into other territories that are not particular to literature, thereby encompassing broad intellectual and critical fields such as cultural studies, feminism, postcolonialism or critical race studies.

description: The present book is a narrative and theological commentary on the Gospel of John, one of the most important theological and influential texts of the New Testament. In the preface, the reader is informed about the basic scholarly problems concerning the Gospel of John: the genre, its structure and content, its relation to the synoptic gospels, the author, the place, time and aim of its composition, as well as important milestones in Johannine research, and the basic scholarly bibliography. Then, a detailed narrative and a theological analysis of the text beginning with the hymn of the prologue follow. After the analysis of the gospel's narrative introduction up to Jesus' first sign at Cana of Galilee, His public activity, consisting mainly of extensive discourses and a series of representative signs, is analysed in the following chapters. In this part, the structure of the commentary follows the succession of Jewish festivals around which the narrative unfolds.  Finally, the farewell discourses of Jesus and the narratives of the Passion and Resurrection are analysed. As it will be shown by the analysis, throughout his gospel the author uses narrative devices to guide the recipients of his text in gradually grasping his theological teaching as to the true identity of the person and the deeper significance of Jesus' work, in contrast to various messianic-eschatological concepts of the time. From a methodological point of view, the commentary presupposes and combines knowledge and methods from the fields of history, literature, narratology, and theology, aiming to offer readers the possibility of a comprehensive understanding of an emblematic early Christian text and the world in which it was composed.

description: The problems of Fluid Mechanics are described by nonlinear, coupled systems of partial differential equations (PDEs), making their analytical solution extremely challenging. For this reason, numerical methods are required. This book presents the numerical methods applied to Fluid Mechanics problems, capable of providing accurate numerical solutions. Initially, reference is made to the Python programming language, which is used for the numerical solution of PDE systems. The classification of PDE systems is then introduced through characteristics and the determinant of the coefficients of the unknowns. The concept of a well-posed problem is explained, along with the initial and boundary conditions necessary for solving PDE problems. The most fundamental numerical methods used in Fluid Mechanics include the finite difference method, the finite volume method, and the spectral method. The application of numerical methods begins with solving the diffusion equation, followed by the Laplace and Poisson equations. Next, the solution of the advection equation and problems of steady advection-diffusion is addressed. The Burger's and Korteweg-de Vries equations are numerically solved using appropriate methods. Finally, the numerical solution of the primary flow equations of Navier-Stokes is presented. The book concludes with key applications, such as flow in a rectangular cavity, channel flow etc. Each chapter includes solved exercises to enhance understanding of the theory and the implementation of computational code for solving Fluid Mechanics problems. Additionally, unsolved exercises are provided for further practice.

description:
Aquaculture should be sustainably expanded in order to ensure food and nutrition security and to meet future challenges with respect to the growing consumer demand for high quality, nutritious and responsibly produced food.
Organic aquaculture is a specific production approach reflecting the growing public interest for sustainable utilisation of natural resources.
However, there are limited options regarding the available certified organic and, rich in essential nutrients, ingredients, which are essential for the dietary needs of farmed fish. Hence, it is challenging for the feed industry to achieve organic feeds of equal quality to those of the conventional feeds. Nevertheless, the use of fish trimmings from fisheries with appropriate combinations and moderate inclusion with other alternative innovative raw materials is proven capable to solve the problem of availability of organic fish feed and also, to promote the circular economy. More in-depth research in organic aquaculture, regarding the production of juveniles, the nutrition and welfare of farmed species and the implementation of interventions, can potentially increase productivity and simultaneously respect the objectives, principles and standards of organic aquaculture.

description: This textbook includes a comprehensive and self-contained presentation of continuous- and discrete-time signals and systems and their transformations. It begins with discrete-time signals and systems, considering that understanding the initial concepts is easier in discrete time (sequences) instead of continuous time (functions). Then, it presents the same concepts in continuous time, followed by the concept of frequency. At this point, we believe that it is easier to understand the subsequent concepts in continuous time, that is why in the chapters where we study the signals in the frequency domain, the concepts are presented first in continuous time and then in discrete. After analyzing the concept of frequency, the book devotes a chapter to Fourier series of (first continuous-time, then discrete-time) periodic signals. Then, the Fourier transform of aperiodic signals and the Nyquist sampling theorem are presented. The latter unifies, in a way, continuous time with discrete time. Also, to unify the concepts of continuous- and discrete-time Fourier series and Fourier transform, we analyze the duality between discrete signals in the time (or frequency) domain and periodic signals in the frequency (or time) domain, respectively. We believe that this is important for a deep understanding of the concepts. A separate chapter is devoted to analog modulation, targeting in the application of important properties of the Fourier transform to telecommunications. The Laplace, discrete Fourier, and z transforms follow. The book comprehensively addresses the range of signal transforms, starting from simple ones (Fourier series) and developing them to end up with complex ones (Laplace traAnsform and z transform).

description:
As the title suggests, this book is written for non-specialist readers: students in the humanities/social studies students and the public. It has a wide scope and concerns the overview and explanation of central phenomena and general principles of the Biological Sciences. The goal is not to cover all areas of Biology but to develop important topics we encounter more in our daily lives, without all the technical details in more specialized textbooks. However, despite the attempt to popularize analytical mechanisms, the book also contains several of the latest developments in the field of Biological sciences, such as gene therapies or modern methods of studying brain function, which was unknown until a few years ago.

The first part of the book (chapters 1-3) gives the overall context of this fascinating science: by presenting the various aspects of our lives that are affected by and/or depend on the findings of Biology; by describing the fundamental characteristics of living organisms; and by discussing current theories about the appearance of life on our planet. In addition, the trajectory of research in the field that is now called Biology is highlighted in the historical context of each era: from the natural philosophers of Ionia in the sixth century BC to the nineteenth century, when Biology entered its contemporary phase.

The second part (chapters 4-8) focuses on living organisms: what are their basic components; how they are created and how they develop, from the fertilized egg to the mature organism; how they are classified and how they evolve. And finally, how traits are inherited from generation to generation. These chapters develop and explain the concepts of DNA/RNA, genes, and chromosomes, discuss the question of heredity and predisposition to disease, describe how genetic diversity is ensured in populations, and present Darwin's observations and positions, as well as the main points of modern evolutionary theory.

The third and final part is devoted to the most important of the systems of animal organisms, the nervous system. It describes neurons, the structural and functional units of the brain, and explains how they generate and transmit the electrical signals that allow interaction with the environment and transfer of information. Synapse function and the mode of action of drugs for neurological and psychiatric diseases are also analyzed, the issue of the functional specialization of the brain is examined and the main brain regions are described.

In all chapters, connections are made with concepts and phenomena described in other parts of the book to highlight and emphasize their interdependence. And at the end of each chapter students can find suggested readings for those who want to go deeper, as well as questions to help readers check their understanding of the material and organize their study.

In the book is proposed a methodology for drawing up studies for the conservation, highlighting and development of historic towns and settlements and the process of their implementation, through the required urban planning regulations, legislative measures and spatial interventions.
The proposed methodology is documented through a broad theoretical framework, which emerges from European and international organizations and shapes the principles and methods of protection of historic towns and settlements and introduces the concept of "integrated conservation" which includes in its objectives, the quality of life and sustainable development.
The methodology is strengthened by looking back at the long-term evolution of European and Greek legislation that regulates issues of conservation and management of historic entities, and by referring to important first relevant studies in Europe and Greece.
The common goals of Urban Conservation and Sustainable Development are highlighted, as well as their relationship with the concepts of resilience and circular economy.
Special topics are also presented such as the upgrading of public space, the reuse of historic buildings and the integration of new Architecture in a historic environment.
Τhe examples of studies for the protection, upgrading and promotion of historic towns and settlements which have been compiled under the responsibility of the author and based on the previous methodology, are finally presented.

description: This book examines ethno-cultural diversity in the school context by analyzing issues related to its effective management and highlighting the need for the creation of an inclusive school. The book is structured into eleven chapters, each of which presents the particular educational implications of multiculturalism. This important aspect of diversity creates new challenges in the school context making it necessary to outline the profile of students from different cultural backgrounds, as well as to recognize the relationship between cultural diversity and the incidents of bullying or racist behavior in the school. In today’s pluralistic societies, interculturalism emerges as the most effective model for managing diversity, promoting the peaceful coexistence among members of the society, and cultivating human and social values. As the implications of the model are also reflected in the educational environment, the important role of intercultural education in the creation of a school imbued with intercultural orientation is highlighted. In such a school environment, the emphasis is given to the development of intercultural competence, the enhancement and the use of bilingualism in the multicultural classroom, whereas at the same time, the focus is on the design and implementation of intercultural educational practices for effective teaching and learning as well as for the active involvement of all students. The presence of an inclusive school climate that allows all students regardless of their cultural background to interact dynamically, as well as the effective collaboration between the school and the students’ culturally diverse families, is also significant. A school which provides a framework for recognizing and respecting diversity and builds a sense of “belonging” to all students regardless of their diversity features, is the ideal type of school in the contemporary pluralistic society encouraging inclusive education as a global priority.

description: This book comes to fill a large gap that exists in the Greek literature regarding the processing and analysis of big data. More specifically, it aims to present and use the most commonly used systems and techniques for managing and extracting useful knowledge from data characterized by large volume, potentially fast renewal rates and diversity in terms of their structure. In more detail, in this book we study specific application development methodologies as well as specific systems. For example, we study the MapReduce model and how it is implemented in Hadoop, Spark, and other systems. In addition, the Hadoop ecosystem is studied in detail, as well as the Spark application development methodology, while examples are given in Scala and Python. Also, NOSQL systems are presented, emphasizing the four different categories of systems, depending on their functionality. In the book we also study techniques for data stream management and how it is carried out by the systems, while in a separate chapter we study issues of graph data processing and analysis. Then, the basics of managing resources in a distributed system using different resource management systems and how the applications are run are reviewed. Also, in a separate chapter we study ways of processing data in GPU systems that are also widely used for data analysis in a parallel way. Installation details are also given in the book. The book is addressed to postgraduate students and mainly to courses directly related to topics related to the processing and analysis of big data using modern distributed and parallel systems. However, part of the book could work as a supplement in undergraduate courses with a similar subject.

description:
The book presents the basic principles that govern the architectural and building design of sustainable buildings. The aim is to classify and analyse the elements of bioclimatic and sustainable design that should be included in the design of the new buildings and the redesign of existing ones, today. The bioclimatic building, according to its definition, modifies the climate of its environment, with an appropriate design of its elements. Because the building envelope intervenes between the exterior and the interior space, it is mainly called upon to play the main role of converter of bioclimatic conditions. The shell, in other words, is called upon to play the role of climate conditions moderator, because the climate is variable, in order to provide stable conditions of thermal and visual comfort. A bioclimatic building, therefore, must be distinguished for and express its dynamic ability to modify the climate and adapt to it.
Apart of the above, and in the context of an overall sustainable approach to architecture, the book also refers to other environmentally friendly design strategies, which include materials and building systems and installations, but also renewable energy sources, always from the architect's point of view. It is emphasised that the quality of the architectural result produced by any bioclimatic or construction choice is extremely important and this is because the applied bioclimatic techniques as well as building technology, i.e. the art of construction, is not only a sum of scientific and technical knowledge, but mainly the way in which they are assembled and utilised to contribute to the creation of a remarkable building design. The ultimate goal is the cultivation of ecological and environmental knowledge, as well as the awareness of the fact that sustainability must be addressed from the first steps of architectural design, as one of its integral parts.

description: This Physics book deals with the thematic subjects of Electromagnetism, Electricity and Optics. As a university textbook, it is mainly addressed to undergraduate students and for this reason an attempt has been made to present the physical concepts, quantities and phenomena, which it deals with, in a way that is both simple and complete. In order for new students to transition as smoothly as possible from the educational experience of school to the completely different requirements, needs and conditions of the studies at a university department, an effort has been made to adapt this book to these particularities. More specifically, the content, the way of presentation, the level of the questions and the exercises and above all, the utilization of the new functional features offered by the electronic-interactive format of the textbook have been made with the aim of enhancing the students’ interest in learning and encouraging his personal quest. A key feature of the proposed book is the extensive use of simulation applications of many natural phenomena, as well as the abundance of references to other free sources. This approach was chosen so that, if possible, each student could find the stimuli suitable for him/her and the sources through which he/she would eventually succeed in mastering knowledge. Completing each chapter, the reader finds one, or more, experimental applications that he/she can implement in virtual laboratories by following the relevant instructions given. The purpose of these is to contribute to a deeper understanding of the concepts studied in each chapter and to give the reader the opportunity to experimentally establish interesting aspects of the studied phenomena. Throughout the book, the connections between theory and experiment are emphasised, emphasising the importance of laboratory work—whether physical or simulated—in mastering these topics.

description: From the perspective of Political Science, the concepts of political systems and government leadership offer useful research tools by which we may study the substantial changes upon political life in Europe. There is a sharp decrease of civic trust in political institutions and the political staff and of the interest in political affairs in general, while some of the fundamental democratic principles are being challenged. The stability of the political systems stems from their capacity to transform claims about public problems into efficient policies with a view to securing the sustainability of the state and the resilience of democratic institutions. Stability is not synonymous with stagnation. On the contrary, much like a computer system, a political system needs regular upgrade of its institutions (“hardware”) as much as of each public policies (“software”) in order to catch-up with rapid changes and challenges. Guiding policy and institutional adaptation is the overarching responsibility of government leadership, and the ultimate criterion for its assessment. In the context of the European Union (EU), government leaderships have the advantage of sharing competencies and some indispensable resources. In the meantime, a common framework is set-up for the comparative assessment of government efficiency in accordance with the common tasks and the specific data of policy results. In the present textbook, three specific cases will be distinguished - Greece, France and Germany - which make explicit the different kinds of challenges for government leaderships, the specific factors of destabilization and the significance of a systematic assessment of government efficiency especially with regard to economic governance in the EU.

description: This book aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the theory of metric spaces from both a theoretical and applied perspective. It is addressed to those who possess a basic background in Infinitesimal Calculus. In Chapter 1, the definition of a metric space is provided along with many examples, with the key feature element therein being the metrics induced by norms. In Chapter 2, the convergence of sequences in metric spaces is under study, whereas Chapter 3 provides a rigorous treatment of continuity and uniform continuity of functions between metric spaces. Chapter 4 covers the basic topological concepts in metric spaces (open set, interior of a set, closed set, closure of a set, derived set) and provides characterisations of the continuity of a function via topological arguments. Chapter 5 deals with homeomorphisms between metric spaces, equivalent metrics and the relatively open and relatively closed subsets of a subset in a metric space. Chapter 6 is concerned with the study of complete metric spaces and some basic relevant theorems. Chapters 7 and 8 are dedicated to the study of the notions of compactness and connectedness in metric spaces, respectively. Chapter 9 is concerned with function spaces and contains, among others, the Stone-Weierstrass Theorem. Chapter 10 addresses additional topics that have not been treated in the preceding chapters (completion of a metric space, the Cantor set, Tietze's Theorem for metric spaces, and oscillation of a function around a point). Finally, Chapter 11 provides the solutions to the exercises presented at the end of each of the previous chapters.

description: The book is divided into four main sections. The first section introduces the Gretl econometric program, presenting information on the program's basic features (installation, navigation, data entry, command information, and session storage). The second section presents the basic estimation models and their limitations with the corresponding theoretical documentation. This is followed by an analysis of different functional forms of regression covering a range of fields (economic, social) and data (time series, cross-sectional data) and using qualitative variables in the regression models. The third section critically examines the assumptions of the classical linear model, the extent to which these assumptions may vary, and at what cost. Different diagnostic tests of regression models are presented for both cross-sectional data and time series models. The problem of "correct functional form" is also discussed. The fourth part deals with prominent issues of cross-sectional and time series data and their combination (panels). For cross-sectional data, the discrete choice models, which are widely used in the social sciences as well as in other fields (education, psychology, political science) are analyzed. For time series, topics such as stationarity, cointegration, and ARCH-GARCH models for cases of changing variation are presented, which concern the fields of economics, finance, and other social sciences. Finally, estimation models with panel data are presented.

description: In recent years, the important ecosystemic role of natural terrestrial ecosystems has been recognized, together with the need for their effective protection. This necessity requires the knowledge of their Ecology, in order to ensure in a biocentric basis, the valuable functions, products and services they provide. The purpose of the book is to introduce University students of the first academic years in Forestry and Biology, to the basic concepts of the Ecology of Terrestrial Ecosystems. It is hoped that the book will provide the necessary background that will support later the knowledge on the management (including the restoration, conservation and protection) of natural ecosystem, their structural components and their wider compositions. The book is divided into 10 teaching units (TU), which discuss concepts mainly related to the abiotic component of natural terrestrial ecosystems and their productivity, with a final reference to the non-forested natural land and forests of Greece. The first teaching unit (TU1) aims to introduce the reader to the science of Ecology of Terrestrial Ecosystems. The TU2 discusses the atmospheric components of ecosystems, specifically solar radiation, temperature, and atmospheric moisture and air. The TU3 and TU4 analyse the effects of the substrate (parent rock material, soil structures, soil water, organic matter, soil biological factors). In the TU5 an understanding of the primary productivity of natural ecosystems is attempted, and in TU6 the concepts of global patterns of primary (vegetation) productivity are presented. In the TU7 the global variations of vegetation (biomes) are described. The TU8 of the book aims to introduce the reader to the ecosystems and terrestrial vegetation of the areas around the Mediterranean. Finally, the last two teaching units (TU9, TU10) discuss and analyze the typologies of forest vegetation (non-forested natural land, forests) of Greece.

description: The Course of Theoretical Physics is a ten-volume series of books that was initiated by Lev Landau and written in collaboration with his student Evgeny Lifshitz, starting in the late 1930s. Since then, the Course has enjoyed worldwide popularity. The hereby translated Volume 2 covers relativistic mechanics of particles, and classical field theory for fields, in particular special relativity and electromagnetism, general relativity and gravitation. It also includes sections on geometrical and wave optics. The fundamental equations are derived from the Principle of Least Action, enabling the attainment of maximum generality together with essential simplicity of presentation. Moreover, the book is self-contained with minimal prerequisites; the necessary tensor analysis is developed as the narrative goes along. In comparison to the original, we adopt the International System of Units (SI), and append various explanatory comments in the form of Translator's Notes. We sincerely hope that the current textbook will assist Greek university students and researchers in their acquaintance with one of the most elegant theories describing the natural world while generating pioneering experiments.

description: The present book explores the relationship between knowledge, innovation, and entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on the characteristics and development of innovative entrepreneurship within an economic context such as the Greek one. The starting point is the empirical evidence of the strategic significance of technology and innovation for both businesses and society, which is supplemented by the requisite theoretical constructs for a comprehensive understanding of the multifaceted process of innovation management for established or new firms. In this vein, the fundamental types of entrepreneurship are discussed, with an emphasis on innovative knowledge-intensive entrepreneurship. This refers to enterprises, irrespective of industry, that leverage knowledge and technology to engage in innovative activities, thereby making a substantial contribution to economic growth and societal welfare. The book also covers issues such as value creation from innovation, the protection of intellectual property rights, the investigation of financing sources and tools, and the pursuit of competitive advantage through the evaluation of technical, financial, and operational data. In addition, the book offers a practical guide for business plan development, with a focus on its key contents and information that must be included and presented in a comprehensive manner. It thoroughly presents the entire cycle of business development, from the evaluation of opportunities, the conception of the business idea, the assessment of its feasibility, the exploration of the appropriate financing scheme, as well as the formation and composition of the business team, to the initial phase of the investment plan implementation. In the same context, the book presents and elucidates the key features of the Business Model Canvas methodology, which is one of the current go-to methods for mentoring and guiding the development of a new knowledge-intensive venture. Finally, the manuscript presents case studies of innovative, knowledge-intensive business ventures from both Greece and abroad.

description: This book is intended for students in physics and engineering departments at universities and polytechnic schools. The first part begins with a concise exposition of the algebra and geometry of complex numbers, and continues with the presentation of the established and now solidified introductory undergraduate material in complex analysis. Specifically, it covers the study of functions of a complex variable with an emphasis on analytic functions. The concepts of complex differentiability, contour integration, Taylor and Laurent series, analytic continuation, singular points, residues, and all the fundamental theorems related to these concepts are presented and studied. The residue theorem and its applications in calculating real definite integrals are developed in detail with numerous examples and a large number of exercises to solve, often accompanied by hints and remarks. Conformal mappings and their applications in physics are presented with many thoroughly developed examples. The originalities that distinguish the first part of this book from other complex analysis books are, on one hand, the method of studying multivalued functions with algebraic branch points and, on the other hand, the handling of contour integrals along simply closed contours whose interior and exterior contain non-isolated singular points of the function being integrated. The second part of the book begins with the presentation of some specific functions and function spaces. Introductory concepts necessary for the subsequent sections are covered, where distributions, Fourier series, Fourier and Laplace transform along with their main applications are studied. The last chapter deals with the mathematical foundation of quantum mechanics, namely Hilbert spaces along with the related Dirac formalism and the linear operators acting on these spaces. This material is presented in more detail than what can be found in most quantum mechanics books, addressing some subtle issues that are often not covered there mainly for practical reasons.

uk: Електротехніка та інформаційні технології

description: This book is referred to advanced topics of ‘Radar Systems’. Namely, in the Chapter 1 topics like the ‘radar equation’, the matched filter, the integration of radar pulses, the radar target resolution and the radar losses are described. In Chapter 2, the effect of the presence of the earth surface on the propagation of the radar waves is described (F factor). In Chapter 3 the effect of the presence of terrain to the propagation of the radar waves is described (signal to clutter ratio), and similarly for propagation of radar waves through rain (‘volume clutter’). In Chapters 4 and 5 we examine the ‘radar detection theory’ (i.e. detection of radar signals in the presence of receiver electronic noise). In Chapter 6 we examine the functioning of a radar system in the presence of jamming, while in Chapter 7 we present the so-called ‘bistatic radar’. Furthermore, in the Chapter 8 we examine properties of the ‘radar cross section’ of radar targets, while in the Chapter 9 we examine in detail the so-called MTI radars (ΜΤΙ = Moving Target Indicator). Moreover, the ‘Continuous Wave Radars’ (without or with frequency modulation) are examined in the Chapter 10, while the ‘Pulse Doppler’ radars are examined in the Chapter 11. Furthermore, in Chapter 12 we examine the so-called ‘tracking radars’ (‘monopulse radars’ etc.). Moreover, in Chapter 13 we examine sources of error for radar targets, such as the ‘glint effect’ and the ‘multipath error’. Furthermore, in Chapter 14 we examine the detection of radar targets through the ‘binary detection theory’, while in Chapter 15 we examine the so-called ‘radar ambiguity function’. Moreover, in Chapter 16 we examine the modern technology of the ‘Synthetic Aperture Radar’ (SAR), and finally in Chapter 17 we present the so-called ‘secondary radars’.

description:
The book examines historically the formation and evolution of the perception/concept of modern anti-Semitism. It examines correspondent political practices at an institutional and social level, from the middle of the 19th century and during the 20th century in Europe and in Greece, as well as the political and social consequences of the phenomenon.
The first chapter studies the phenomenon of religious anti-Semitism. It spans the years from the 3rd century CE and until the 15th century CE. It follows the process of marginalization of the religiously "different" Jew, the prevalence of the Christianity, the formation of the institution of the Church, as well as the reactions of the Jewish communities. From the second chapter up to the eleventh, the phenomenon is examined in modernity: Its transformation from religious to modern - political anti-Semitism with the racial dimension, in France with the Dreyfus case and in Germany with the movement of Wilhelm Marr. Moreover, the rise of anti-Semitism in Russia and the October Revolution. The connection between anti-Semitism and anti-Bolshevism, anti-Semitism in Greece during the Interwar period, the Greek National League (Ethniki Enosis Ellados, or EEE) and the arson of the Campbell neighborhood (Jewish) in Thessaloniki. The Zionist movement, the formation of the Jewish national idea, in Europe and the Zionist movement of the Jews in Greece with the special case of Thessaloniki. In addition, Germany in the interwar period and the social and political causes of the rise of anti-Semitism there that led to the Nazis' "redemptive" anti-Semitism and genocide. In the last chapter, the phenomenon is examined in post war years and until today, in Europe, in Greece and in the Muslim world.
The history of anti-Semitism contributes to understand both the past and the present and to gradually rid ourselves of the prejudices, certainties and illusions of nationalism. It helps us to decode the mechanisms of legitimization and massification of racist practices and perceptions in general, especially in our era of multiple crises.
