description: This book presents an analysis of spatial information collection, processing, and visualization in thematic maps. In essence, it includes the "grammatical" and "syntactic" rules of the "cartographic" language, a primarily graphic language, suitable to communicate spatial information but also to generate new spatial knowledge through the map. The content of the book is organized into seventeen chapters. The first six chapters establish the necessary theoretical framework for the analysis of spatial phenomena and corresponding data, so that they take the appropriate form to be rendered through graphical elements in the thematic map. In particular, the first Chapter - Introduction presents the basic principles that govern Thematic Cartography and defines the thematic map, its content, and function. The second Chapter focuses on the analysis of the characteristics of spatial phenomena, while the third Chapter describes the data sources and data processing methods for the representation of spatial phenomena. The fourth Chapter presents a systematic analysis of data classification methods, while the fifth Chapter presents spatial interpolation methods. The sixth Chapter analyzes the use of color in thematic maps. The following chapters analyze the methods and techniques for the graphic design and spatial information visualization. In particular, the seventh Chapter examines the methods and techniques of mapping qualitative spatial data. Chapters eight through fifteen analyze the different types of thematic maps for mapping quantitative spatial data: proportional and graduated symbol maps, flow maps, choropleth maps, dasymetric maps, isarithmic maps, 3D maps, dot maps, and cartograms. Chapter Sixteen focuses on bivariate and multivariate mapping, that is, the visualization of two or more variables. Finally, Chapter Seventeen introduces web thematic maps, focusing mainly on the two subcategories of dynamic maps: animated and interactive maps.

description: This book refers to the instruction of language courses and more specifically to the instruction of the Greek language as a native, second or foreign language. For this purpose, a brief historical review is first made, with the description of the structural approach that prevailed before 1970. Αlso with the presentation of the revision of basic positions of the instruction of language courses, when the center of gravity of language instruction shifted from linguistic to communicative competence. Subsequently, an interdisciplinary consideration of Language in modern teaching is attempted, through the approach of main theoretical and methodological principles of the communicative approach, but also through the presentation of modern concepts and models of written language production. For this purpose, the elements and the physiognomy of both the Curriculum and the educational material applied to the Language of the elementary school are highlighted. At the same time, the framework of principles and objectives adopted by the writing groups of the textbooks is described, as well as the proposed ways of organizing the course, with the aim of teaching narrative, descriptive and argumentative texts from the Language textbooks of the 5th and 6th grade of elementary school. In this context, the results of an extensive research are presented, through which the literacy skills of 6th grade students were investigated in the production of basic textual genres (narrative, descriptive, argumentative) after the implementation of the language instruction material introduced in 2006-07, while at the same time the evaluation tool that was applied is cited. Finally, a series of proposals for didactic implementation based on the Multiliteracies approach (2022 Curriculum) is included, which includes the teaching of multimodal texts (e.g. video, internet, films, broadcasts, advertisements, etc.) with new technologies, while at the same time taking into account the needs of children from different cultural backgrounds.

description:
This book is an attempt to create a digital textbook in the Greek language, introducing undergraduate and postgraduate students to the science of Climate Change. It was developed within the framework of the "Kallipos+" initiative, titled "Greek Academic Electronic Textbooks and Supplements," with the aim of introducing electronic, interactive, multimedia textbooks into Higher Education. Therefore, it is targeted towards students in Geography or in Earth and Environmental Sciences Departments. Its goal is to comprehend all the natural and dynamic processes related to the contemporary issue of global warming and climate change. However, it can also serve as a guide for anyone involved in climate change and its impacts on the biosphere.
The topics of the textbook were selected with the aim of providing comprehensive coverage of the subject of global warming in an educationally coherent manner for students and reader-friendly for the general audience. The textbook consists of three thematic topics, including: (a) an introduction to the basic concepts of climate change (physical climatology, climatic phenomena, and climate variability), (b) the physicochemical processes of the climate system (radiation balance, carbon cycle, aerosols, and the greenhouse effect phenomenon), and (c) climate projections with open issues and uncertainties. The material of the eight chapters is structured to correspond to 13 teaching weeks of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. Some chapters may require more lectures for their completion. A significant part includes applications and exercises, both theoretically and in the laboratory, accompanied by various climate metadata. The new textbook includes, for the first time, an appendix of instructions for using the free software IDV (https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/), for its application in visualizing and analyzing climate data and applications. The content of the appendix is expected to support students' technical skills in managing climate data. More than 75 questions and exercises are included at the end of the chapters to help the students to understand the meaning and the application of basic physical principles. The answers and the solutions of most of them are incorporated into the text. The entire material of this book can be covered in one or in multiple semesters depending on the character of the undergraduate/postgraduate course and the option of the instructor.

description: This book introduces the world of the Internet of Things (IoT), focusing on the fundamental principles of technology, communication, security, and applications. We have decided to divide the book into two main sections. One section provides the theoretical background for IoT and its related concepts, and another section offers autonomous laboratory exercises on IoT that guide readers through implementing specific problems. In the first section, the unique characteristics of IoT devices and their requirements regarding energy consumption, performance, communication, cost, manufacturing, packaging and security are presented. Subsequently, the main topics related to IoT, such as sensors, actuators, wireless sensor networks, single-board computers, printed circuit board (PCB) design, microprocessor architecture, storage devices, middleware, cloud servers, and reconfigurable and heterogeneous architectures, are developed. Finally, the book covers the practical application of IoT technology in various sectors, including industry, healthcare, agriculture, urban environments, homes and transportation. The second section provides instructions for developing and implementing educational tasks in IoT, as well as suggestions for addressing technological challenges. Exercises are provided for both microcontrollers and development boards, exercises that we have developed and use in our courses at the universities we are affiliated with. The book is aimed at both students and professionals, providing a comprehensive understanding of IoT and its capabilities.

description: The present book is a primary textbook with an educational orientation, aimed at undergraduate students, mainly in Economics departments, where "Basic Principles of Accounting" and "Financial Statement Analysis" using financial ratios are taught as core courses, as well as professionals in the field of business management and financial analysis. Initially, the book examines the basic principles of financial analysis, providing a fundamental background for understanding financial concepts and tools. It, then, delves into the evaluation of financial statements, explaining how to read and interpret balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements. This is followed by an analysis of the calculation of financial ratios, as well as their interpretation and commentary. Additionally, a detailed guide for constructing a financial model with specific ratios, and a guide for filling out financial data for listed and non-listed companies using Greek Accounting Standards (GAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are provided. Specialized analyses are also presented, such as bankruptcy forecasting using univariate and multivariate analysis, evaluating the relevance of accounting information using multivariate approaches, and liquidity analysis through the Cash Conversion Cycle model. Subsequently, SWOT, PEST, and PESTLE analyses are conducted. The textbook concludes with a presentation of corporate governance, its parameters, and corporate social responsibility. Through specific examples of constructing financial models and multimedia tools (quizzes, exercises, applications), the textbook helps the reader understand and then acquire the necessary skills for analyzing, evaluating, and making investment and financial decisions. Finally, the present book offers not only theoretical knowledge but also practical tools for its application. Specifically, it includes a financial model in Excel, which has been developed to help readers evaluate and adjust their examples with financial data of their interest, allowing them to understand how these affect the financial forecasts and strategies described in the textbook.

description:
This book focuses on genre based language teaching combined with elements of critical literacy.
In the first part of the book, various previous teaching methods (traditional, structural and communicative) are briefly presented The four language skills are also presented together with a short reference to the convergence and divergence of spoken and written discourse and how they should influence the correction of pupils’ discourse errors.
Then the notion of genre is discussed and the basic principles of genre based teaching are given along with an emphasis to the importance of register and register levels. Moreover critical literacy in the school is presented with its goals concerning linguistic as well as visual awareness.
In the second part, in separate chapters, the main pre-genres (narration, description, and argumentation) are presented focusing on their linguistic characteristics. In these chapters pupils’ written texts on de-contextualized subjects are presented and their problems that derive from the absence of necessary details of the communicative situation are discussed.
In the third part, in different chapters again, the main school genres (fairy tale, advertisement, news article, opinion article, and letter) are presented by giving their principal, more or less conventional, characteristics. For each genre teaching proposals are made, usually taken from teaching scenarios already applied in schools. Finally, real pupils’ texts are discussed and ways for their amelioration are proposed, while even considering possibilities of transforming the texts, a procedure that can reach the point of creating new hybrid genres.

description: The book "Fundamentals of Computational Intelligence: Fuzzy, Neural and Evolutionary Computation - An Approach to Machine Learning" is designed as an introductory textbook in Computational Intelligence and is addressed to students of higher education institutions, but also to those who are involved in related topics on a research or professional level. Artificial Intelligence (AI), which is a key branch of Computer Science, is evolving as a dominant technology of the future. The topics covered in the text comprehensively and extensively cover the scientific field of Computational Intelligence (CI). AI comprises three main branches of research and application: 1) Fuzzy Computation, which formulates models that approximate how people think and how people describe the world around them; 2) Neural Computation, which offers powerful models to approximate how the brain works and learns; and 3) Evolutionary Computation, which exploits biological and evolutionary models to search for optimal solutions to complex problems of excellence. The synergy of the above three disciplines has led to hybrid systems that collaborate, complement each other and provide optimal solutions to complex problems in Engineering and Science. The structure of the book is designed in a way that encourages self-learning. The textbook can be an introductory course, with a focus on intelligence technologies, for undergraduate and graduate students. The book is organized in five chapters, accompanied by an Appendix. The first three chapters are self-contained, learning entities, while the next two assume the basic knowledge of the previous three chapters. The fifth chapter complements the material of the first four chapters, where examples and applications of computational intelligence technologies are developed.

description: La syntaxe est la branche de la linguistique qui examine les phrases des langues naturelles. Les éléments qui forment une phrase et la manière dont ceux-ci s’organisent posent un nombre important de questions intéressantes pour la description d’une langue: quelles sont les règles qui régissent la combinaison des constituants de la phrase? Pourquoi dans une langue comme le français le sujet se trouve-t-il, dans les phrases assertives, toujours avant le verbe, restriction qui n’est pas valable en grec? Quelle est la relation entre la structure d’une phrase et son sens? Quel type de phrases appelons nous phrases ambiguës et comment pouvons-nous les traiter? Notre but principal est de répondre à ce type de questions, en prenant appui sur différents cadres théoriques. Pour ce faire, nous passons au microscope la structure des phrases du français avec, parfois, des remarques comparatives avec le grec moderne, dans un but plutôt pratique et pédagogique et sans l’intention de faire prouver la validité des théories syntaxiques − fort intéressantes par ailleurs −, qui ont été proposées au fil des années et qui continuent d’évoluer. Les deux premiers chapitres tiennent lieu d’introduction, en proposant des notions de base et des informations générales sur les niveaux d’analyse linguistique et la différence entre l’approche de la grammaire traditionnelle et celle de la linguistique. Les chapitres 3 à 7 sont consacrés aux notions clés pour l’analyse syntaxique. Chacun des chapitres suivants (8 à 12) est consacré à l’analyse d’un groupe particulier : groupe nominal, groupe adjectival, groupe verbal, groupe prépositionnel et groupe adverbial. Enfin, le dernier chapitre, le chapitre 13, est une courte introduction au vaste sujet des phrases subordonnées.

description:
In this book, an overview of the structural elements of the Linked Open Data (LOD) movement is presented, along with the historical relationship between LOD and the Semantic Web, emphasizing the fundamental value of metadata for constructing flexible ("intelligent") applications that dynamically adapt to data with unknown schemas. Special emphasis is placed on Uniform Resource Identifiers (URIs) and the use of HTTP URIs within the context of the Semantic Web and LOD.
To provide readers with a comprehensive understanding of the representation model underlying LOD, the transition from different knowledge organization models (e.g., tabular organization and the relational model) to the graph model of the Resource Description Framework (RDF) is presented.
The subsequent chapter further develops the use of URIs for denoting well-defined concepts and for partitioning datasets in an RDF database using named graphs. Within the context of ontology development for use by LOD applications, standards for deriving new knowledge through inference from existing RDF databases are described, with particular emphasis on their practical application.
Information retrieval in the form of LOD relies on two traditional techniques: navigation and search. This book presents information from the World Wide Web as a unified graph of connected data and provides navigation techniques for applications (agents) within it. Additionally, it discusses typical search services for RDF databases, analogous to search services targeting human users.
The book concludes with the presentation of selected software components for the creation, publication, retrieval, and processing of LOD, along with the discussion of open issues regarding the application of LOD in the modern World Wide Web environment.

description: State-of-art microprocessors and memories with a density of around one billion transistors per square centimeter, can process data with unprecedented speed and power efficiency. Their combination with sensors, actuators, energy microsystems, and waveguides in an integrated and compact form offers powerful, interconnected, portable information systems, such as smartphones. These devices can run advanced software, providing complete services of such sophistication that they are often called Artificial Intelligence. The availability of this steadily growing hardware technology is usually taken for granted, resulting in a shift in the interest, and enthusiasm, of young engineers and scientists, towards software. For example, augmented reality technology is considered more to be an achievement of digital image processing algorithms, and less an achievement of the corresponding advances in camera and micro-optics, and their integration with motion microchips. However, the invention of new, and especially transformative, services typically emerges from hardware novelty, i.e. prototyping and demonstration of new and improved functionalities. Thus, the microsystems and nanostructure fabrication are currently a technology of primary geopolitical significance. This book offers an introduction to the basic microsystem and nanotechnology fabrication techniques, for young scientists and engineers. The general research and development environment and key challenges are discussed. The conventional microelectronic fabrication technology is presented, including laboratory specifications, materials, the method of lithography, and the main material addition, subtraction, and modification processes, at the wafer level. Subsequently, more specialised techniques are described, including deep etching, fabrication of three-dimensional structures, and advanced lithography methods. Chapter 4 presents a systematic method of organising processes into process flows, focusing on the fabrication of functional devices, including process flow design rules and examples. Finally, an overview of nanotechnologies currently used in commercial electronics is given. Overall, the book covers the basic topics and methods required for microsystem and nanostructure prototyping.

description: This book was written in order to be the main textbook of the laboratory exercises for the students of the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics in the context of the undergraduate courses of Biochemistry. However, the book is written in such a way so as to appeal to a wider audience (students and teachers), mainly from health sciences schools, who are interested in gaining a basic background in the analysis and study of biomolecules. The book focuses both on the theoretical background of the most important  physicochemical techniques, on which the main biochemical analysis techniques are based, and on the basic methodological approaches to the study of the most important biomolecules. The laboratory exercises listed in the last part of the book allow the student to acquire basic laboratory skills and understand theoretical knowledge through practice. The book consists of three parts. In the first part, the basic laboratory techniques used in a biochemical laboratory are described, with the aim of acquiring knowledge of the theoretical background of these techniques. In the second part, the basic principles of analysis of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids and vitamins, metals and trace elements are described, with the aim of obtaining a global picture of how these biomolecules are studied at the experimental level. The third part includes the detailed description (protocols) of the laboratory exercises in which the student will practice. At the end of each exercise, directions for processing the results are included, as well as evaluation criteria aimed at developing critical perception.

description: The book is addressed to undergraduate students and refers to classical differential geometry of curves and surfaces, i.e., differential geometry "according to Gauss." It is written in such a way that it will be possible to cover a long - term semester course, as long as the instructor emphasizes appropriately various topics. Very briefly, the content of the book is as follows: The curvature and torsion of curves are described, followed by a presentation of the theory of normal surfaces in Euclidean space R^3. Also, the terminology of maps is used in a gentle manner to prepare the reader for modern differential geometry. After that, the shape operator, Gaussian curvature, and the mean curvature of a normal surface are defined. The approach uses basic linear algebra. Moreover, the subtle issue of the commutative derivative and parallelism, as well as geodesic curves, are discussed. Finally, there is a brief presentation on minimal surfaces through change of variables, as well as a presentation of the connection between geometry and topology through the Gauss-Bonnet theorem.

description: This academic textbook serves a dual purpose. On the one hand, it aims to highlight the educational role of libraries and information centers within any organization or business, in the broader socio-economic environment. In other words, it seeks to underscore the competency of libraries in supporting various educational processes as a natural continuation of their longstanding tradition in this field. Simultaneously, it endeavors to illuminate the ways in which these organizations, besides accumulating and managing information and knowledge, can actively and effectively participate in modern, multifaceted educational endeavors. On the other hand, this book identifies and presents the individual parameters that contribute to the successful planning, effective implementation, and evaluation of various educational actions taking place—or that could potentially take place—within different types of libraries and information centers in Greece and abroad. This is achieved through the presentation of good practices, case studies, and example exercises designed to actively engage learners in understanding the basic parameters related to individual organizational and educational issues.

description: This book presents the basic concepts of BioGeosciences. The geobiological interactions related to biotic and abiotic processes and their impact on Earth's geological history are described and analyzed. Also, the active role of microfossils in the biogeochemical processes connecting the biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere is thoroughly described. The use of microfossils in paleoenvironmental, paleoceanographic and paleoclimatic research is documented and several case studies from the geological records of the Mediterranean and the Greek area are presented. The modern systematic classification of Cenozoic Calcareous Nannofossils is examined in detail and the updated Cenozoic Calcareous Nannofossil biozone systems are presented. The contribution of Coccolithophores to the transport of biogenic calcium carbonate and the quantification of particle fluxes using the sediment trap method is discussed. The relationship of Coccolithophore fluxes with the function of the oceanic biological pump is also presented. A brief historical review is made concerning the research efforts that shaped the systematic classification of benthic foraminifera, and the basic categories of morphotypes and their living microenvironments are analyzed. Particular emphasis is placed on the development and use of biotic indices to monitor and assess the quality of coastal marine ecosystems. The criteria for identification, description and classification of benthic foraminifera are described, together with their ecological adaptations, and an extensive description of the main genera diagnostic characters is provided. The basic outlines about the biology and lifestyle of planktonic foraminifera are presented, as well as the factors affecting their distribution in the oceans. The most recent biozone system for the Neogene-Quaternary Mediterranean is analyzed, as also the indices developed to estimate the palaeooceanographic conditions, when using the ecological characteristics of planktonic foraminifera assemblages, are concisely described.

description: The proposed textbook aims to introduce first-year students to the concepts of procedural programming, structured programming, and modular programming. The C language will be used as the vehicle for instruction, combining the advantages of high-level programming languages with the flexibility of low-level programming due to its inherent characteristics and capabilities. Initially, the basic concepts of programming will be covered, including the basic program structure, variables, input-output, statements, operators, looping constructs, branching constructs, arrays, and strings. Subsequently, more complex aspects of the subject will be described, such as user-defined types, functions, and files. Special emphasis will be placed on data management (pointers, call by reference, dynamic memory allocation). Particular emphasis will be placed on modular program development and the development of transparent code. The last chapter of the textbook will be dedicated to an introduction to basic linear data structures (queue, stack, linked list). The main focus of the chapter development will be on familiarizing students with the concepts through examples and case studies.

description: The laboratory manual "Basic analyses and handling of human semen" focuses on basic analyses performed on human semen according to ISO 23162 and the sixth edition of the WHO manual for the analysis and processing of human semen. This book describes in detail all the analyses that must be done in clinical laboratories not only for basic sperm analysis but also for other analyses such as biochemical analyses, DNA fragmentation, antisperm antibodies. It also describes methods of the separation of healthy spermatozoa from the rest of the sample in order to use them for insemination procedures as well as methods of cryopreservation of the sperm. The book concludes with two chapters dedicated to the quality of the analyses as well as the total quality management of the spermatology laboratory. In particular, there is a separate analytical chapter on the statistical techniques (tests and charts) which is used to detect random and systematic errors of semen analysis and the possibilities offered by internal and external quality control to limit them. Another chapter summarizes the requirements of ISO 15189:2022 and describes in detail specific statistical techniques such as uncertainty calculation, quality objectives and indicators, and risk assessments in spermatology laboratories. All chapters are accompanied by diagrams, figures, photographs, examples and comprehension questions. In addition to the laboratory-oriented chapters, there is also an introductory chapter that describes the male reproductive system, the causes of infertility, the process of spermatogenesis, the structure of healthy spermatozoa and the parameters of the spermodiagram.

description:
This textbook traces the history of Europe in the 20th century - a European century. In the 19th century the European Powers shaped the world. It was the end of a long procedure.   Europe experienced a continuous rise in the previous centuries. A rise that progressively differentiated him from all the rest of the human entities of the world. In the background of its rise was the development, and eventually the adoption and dominance, of the most radical mode of production that humanity had ever known: capitalism.

Europe, that is the main powers of the continent, became the cradle of this new mode of production. During the 19th century, successive industrial revolutions gave to the European system enormous power. With it he conquered the oceans and, through them, the whole world. It was what we called the period of late colonization, colonialism. Underlying the cataclysmic rush is a need: the violent imposition of the capitalist mode of production – and the accompanying civilization – on the entire planet.

Europe's triumph brought with it the seeds of decay. Colonialism had overwhelmingly benefited Britain, France while the "new" powers, Germany and Italy, felt that European triumph did not include them. In the east there was the combustible matter: the three anachronistic empires, Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, Russian, extremely vulnerable to the currents of the times. Their disintegration created a vacuum around which a multitude of claimants crowded. Starting from the developments in the Ottoman area, Belle Epoque’s Europe was led to the First World War.

This war did not settle European affairs. A second, even more devastating one did not provide solutions. European power had now entered a period of weakening and exit from the central world political scene. The Cold War, decolonization, and a unification attempt with defensive characteristics closed the "European" twentieth century.

description: The present introductory book is intended to be used by senior undergraduate or early postgraduate students of physics. As a background, we study the energetics of the nucleus and the Fermi gas model for the description of nuclear level density and its determination with nuclear reactions. We examine the characteristic time scales, two-body kinematics, the energy balance, and conservation laws. We introduce the differential and integrated cross section. We describe an accelerator experiment. In the framework of Coulomb scattering, we study the scattering of alpha particles from gold nuclei and electron scattering. After the introduction of quantum scattering, we discuss the coupled-channels and the optical model. We also describe the formation and decay of the compound nucleus, the characteristics of excitation functions of the final products, the energy, and angular distributions of the emitted particles. These features are contrasted with the ones of direct and preequilibrium reactions. We describe the basic characteristics of reactions between heavy ions, such as elastic and inelastic scattering, nucleon transfer reactions, compound nucleus decay, nuclear molecules, incomplete fusion, deep inelastic collisions, superheavy element formation, projectile fragmentation reactions and hadron-induced spallation reactions. We examine the statistical model of nuclear reactions, the exciton model in a simplified form and the Monte Carlo method for spallation reactions at intermediate energies. We discuss briefly the most popular nuclear reaction codes. In the final chapter, we describe the general characteristics of nuclear fission having the liquid drop model as a guide. Then, we examine the influence of shell effects and their fadeout with increasing excitation energy of the nucleus.

description: The sociological study of law is sometimes considered "distant" from the focus of legal science, especially by those who follow a strictly positivist approach. However, with the advent of socio-legal studies, law is now approached in an interdisciplinary manner, focusing on bridging legal science with other social sciences. Queer law, which belongs to socio-legal studies, challenges what has been perceived as “given” or “normal”. For example, queer law seeks to revise legal texts that are based on heteronormativity to address human rights violations and the equal treatment of various groups that are victims of patriarchy such as women, intersex and queer people. Although queer law is quite widespread in foreign countries, in the Greek legal world, there is not enough information about its existence, nor about social issues related to groups of people who are outside the heteronormative and due to that, they suffer gross violations of their rights daily. This bibliographic guide wishes to fill any gaps that exist in the curricula as well as the textbooks used in legal scholarship regarding queer law and queer theory. It aims to give readers the opportunity to learn about the importance of queer for legal scholarship and about discrimination against people who are outside the heteronormative and whose voices are often silenced, such as women (slut-shaming), persons with disabilities, polyamory persons, fat persons, persons outside the female and male binary such as intersex and non-binary but also persons who are asexual, pansexual. This is an innovative guide that aims to provide an understanding of the impact of the law on different groups and to critique the law from the perspective of these groups using queer as a tool.

Lighting Design

keywords: Written description of the lighting project

description: The book "Lighting Design: Theory and Practice" is a guide to a deep understanding and application of the physics, art and applications of lighting in the built environment. In today's world, lighting not only serves basic lighting needs, but is a key element in creating environments that affect the human experience and sense of place. From the illumination of a home to a custom lighting installation in a museum or a professional office, lighting plays a critical role in influencing not only our perception, but also the biological processes of human physiology. Lighting design is a special blend of technology and creative expression that can transform the indoor/outdoor environment of buildings, having a significant impact on people's mood and well-being. An effort has been made to cover all current design trends (e.g. human-centred lighting), but at the same time to emphasise the importance of lighting solutions that are environmentally friendly and of course energy efficient. The structure of this book consists of seven chapters, covering the range of knowledge and skills required to understand and practically apply lighting rules for design in a wide range of situations. Each chapter is accompanied by supporting information (summary, prerequisite knowledge, expected learning outcomes, key concepts). At the end of each chapter there are assessment criteria which are self-assessment questions on the topics covered in each chapter and their solutions provide the information for understanding the material and developing skills in lighting design.

description: This book was created to be used as a basic textbook by undergraduate and graduate students dealing with the science of Environmental Engineering. It includes hydraulic engineering topics focusing on the environmental field. The material of the book is divided into eight chapters. The book begins with an introduction to the principles of water pollution and the formulation of the basic definitions and parameters related to environmental mass transfer processes and is followed by Chapter 2 describing the fundamental model of complete mixing, including the solutions for various cases of flow and pollutant loads. In Chapter 3, Fick's law of diffusion is formulated and the solution of the one-dimensional diffusion equation is presented for various cases of initial and boundary conditions. Also, the effect of boundaries is examined. The chapter concludes with the formulation of the one-dimensional advection - diffusion equation and its solution for various cases of initial and boundary conditions. In Chapter 4, the one-dimensional advection - diffusion equation is applied in the case of natural streams. In Chapter 5, the deoxygenation and reaeration mechanisms in natural streams are described and the Streeter-Phelps water quality simulation model is developed. Chapter 6 includes the description of the wastewater disposal mechanisms in water bodies. Chapter 7 describes water quality processes in lakes and reservoirs, focusing on the quantitative relationships that describe flow and dispersion, sedimentation, and thermal stratification. Finally, in Chapter 8 the basic principles of the process of sediment transport in natural streams with reference to the criteria for the initiation of sediment movement and the calculation of the sediment transport rate and the suspended load are presented. At the end of each chapter there are problems with exemplary solutions, for the understanding of the topics that were examined. The material in this book is useful to senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students of studies related to the science of Civil Engineering with a specialization in environmental engineering, as well as to engineers dealing with problems of this kind.

description: This textbook is a detailed introduction to the theory of ordinary differential equations as well as a first approach to linear partial differential equations. In particular, known types of first-order ordinary differential equations are studied and their applications in physics, astronomy and economics are listed. Then linear differential equations of second and higher order as well as linear systems of differential equations are considered. Particular emphasis is placed on the variation of parameters method as a unified way of dealing with linear differential equations of any order and linear systems of equations. A separate chapter is devoted to the numerical solution of initial value problems in ordinary differential equations using basic and fundamental analytical methods such as the Euler method, its improved versions, as well as the Runge-Kutta method. The material of the book is supplemented by the solution method of power series at ordinary and singular points. Basic Laplace transforms are computed analytically and Fourier series are used in solving initial value problems. The reader is then introduced to the solution of boundary value problems and the basic classes of partial differential equations (especially the heat equation and the wave equation). Each paragraph contains a significant number of solved exercises and exercises to be solved. A number of specially labeled exercises is combined using software. Answers to selected unsolved exercises are listed in a separate appendix at the end of the book.

description: After a historical review of the institution of Environmental Impact Assessment throughout this book, the legislation that governs Environmental Impact Studies (EIA) is presented, as well as key points that were milestones for the institution. Subsequently, the Environmental Impact Legislation is examined in specialized categories of projects, such as the production of energy, natural gas, as well as Renewable Energy Sources. The following are the structure of a study and specific stages of EIA preparation concerning control, reporting, consultation, investigation techniques, evaluation criteria, environmental indicators and indicator selection criteria. This is followed by a review of the planning aids used to prepare the Environmental Impact Study, such as aerial photographs, geographic databases, information layers, cartographic analysis techniques, data banks, and computer-aided exhibits. Then the environmental impacts per project category are examined, specifically the impacts of dams, aviation, and transportation projects, as well as the measures to deal with them. EIA examples are given as case studies of projects in Greece and abroad. In Greece, the first study concerns the Siatista-Krystallopigi axis perpendicular to the Egnatia Road from the uneven junction of Argos Orestikos to Koromilia, while the second concerns the construction of an irrigation network in the farm of the Mesiani community in the prefecture of Kozani. From abroad, EIAs in both the USA and Australia are examined, with a case study of the second airport in Sydney, Australia. The following are brief descriptions of various social science tools that may be used to assess these impacts. Finally, some problems in specific issues of environmental economics are presented and solved.

The book examines the management of risks faced by financial institutions, as well as the supervisory role of regulatory authorities, while also analyzing the actions of financial institutions themselves when they self-regulate through their internal processes. In particular, the book is divided into five parts.
The first part attempts an initial approach to the risks faced by financial institutions and the concept of banking supervision. The second part presents in detail how the quantification and measurement of risks is carried out by financial institutions. Among others, the following risks are considered: credit, market risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, operational risk, regulatory, IT risk, ESG criteria (environment, society and governance), concentration risk, counterparty risk, residual risk, strategic, reputational risk, systemic, country risk – sovereign debt, geopolitical, off-balance sheet risk, risk of mathematical models etc. The third part analyzes the risk management instruments and tools through which credit institutions succeed in managing these risks (e.g. Board of Directors, Risk Management Department, Internal Control System, capital adequacy, asset-liability management, deposit guarantee systems, diversification of products and markets, sales of loans and securitizations, financial derivative products (futures, forwards, options, swaps, etc.). The fourth part presents the role and operations of banking supervision at european and national level (e.g. SSM, SRM, SREP, ICAAP, ILAAP, RAF, Recovery Plan). Finally, the fifth part analyzes the challenges and perspectives of risk management and supervision of financial institutions.

description: This book attempts to approach the science of polymers through solved exercises. Specifically, the book's content aims to consolidate the knowledge acquired from the theoretical courses on Polymer Science and Technology, through their application in solving specific problems of direct practical interest. The aim is to give students the sense that the science of polymers is not theoretical, but a science of application and problem solving. This book can be used by students of the Faculty of Science or Polytechnic and mainly of the Departments of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, and Materials Science. It is written to include various areas of Polymer Science and Technology, including the kinetics of polymerization reactions (through the chain or step reaction mechanism), design of polymerization reactors, copolymerization, molecular, thermal, physicochemical, and mechanical properties of polymers, polymer transitions, polymers in solutions, viscoelasticity and finally some elements on polymer rheology. Each chapter includes 4 different sections. First, a brief review of the theory is made, mainly reporting the necessary equations, which will then be used to solve the exercises. The second section involves solving relatively simple basic-level problems (which are primarily aimed at undergraduates). In the third section, more complex problems are developed, some of which may also need numerical methods of solution, aimed at postgraduate students. Finally, in the last part, there are unsolved exercises, in which only the final result is given. Thus, it can be used as an aid in a multitude of theoretical courses that exist in the Science of Polymers.

Through the subject matter of the book, readers will become familiar with the main issues of concern in contemporary macroeconomic research, such as the functioning of the labour market and the importance of employment policies, the sources and measurement of economic growth and the policies by which it can be promoted, the different approaches to fiscal policy and the problem of public debt sustainability, the issue of inflationary bias and the arguments for and against central bank independence, the challenges of international macroeconomic interdependence and how these can be studied as policy games with leader and follower countries, the macroeconomic problems in the context of a union of states such as the EU, and issues of short-term economic fluctuations and medium-term adjustment. In addition, periods of "crisis" such as the oil crisis of the 1970s, the global financial crisis of 2008-2010, and the economic crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic, are discussed and analyzed. The book consists of eight chapters, which are self-contained, and no prior knowledge is necessary to understand them. Each chapter includes a discussion of key concepts, an exploration of relevant data, an examination of macroeconomic models/theories, a presentation of empirical results, and a discussion of economic policy proposals/ recommendations.

The authors of “The Cooperative Enterprise” have succeeded in collecting and developing the most relevant and modern knowledge of the sector to the interested reader. The text provides a good academic analysis of the relevant theories, but
importantly it celebrates the rich practical experiences of the cooperative world. We are well treated with a wide range of illustrations of the recent cooperative business evolutions with a professional insight and analysis of the decision-making. A virgin mind would enjoy a rare view of the cooperative business management, while more experienced individuals could be shown the cooperative logic behind the scene. The authors celebrate cooperative market orientation, individual commitment and responsibility as well as a dynamic approach to the future development of the sector. Hopefully, this would enable us to bring in those young, talented and professional people that we so much need in the farming sector. Furthermore, developing a training simulation game for farming businesses underlines the importance of this new approach in communicating our cooperative ideas. Involving the African farming community gives us Europeans a new perspective to issues where we have been too complacent. A word of warning: “The Cooperative Enterprise” will make you think in a cooperative way. And it is fun to read!

description: The availability of primary energy, i.e. energy drawn directly from nature (i.e. coal, oil, natural gas, etc.) is today perhaps the most critical problem of humanity because its survival and development depend on it. The increase in the standards of living of a country is accompanied by a corresponding increase in the energy consumed. On the contrary, the essential motivation of many wars is the dominance of energy resources. Suffice it to note that the global consumption of primary energy in 2010 was over 11 billion tons of oil equivalent, almost twice that of 30 years ago. The combination of the fact that all these energy resources (i.e. oil, natural gas, coal) are composed of organic compounds with the processes that occur for example in an oil refinery is sufficient to create the subject of industrial organic chemistry. In this context, this book is recommended, when someone needs information on the chemistry and technological processes during the exploitation of fossil resources to produce energy. Furthermore, in the general framework of industrial organic chemistry, this book includes also other topics such as the chemistry and technology of fats and oils, carbohydrates, as well as various chemical processes. This book is going to cover the teaching needs of undergraduate courses for students of the Departments of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, and Mechanical Engineering, as well as Technologists of various specialties, dealing with the interesting topics of conventional energy resources. As the field is very broad, a detailed listing of processes is not attempted but rather an introductory update on the whole range of fossil fuels and their technological upgrading to different energy sources.

description: This Analytical Chemistry textbook is organised into four parts. Chapters 1–3 serve as a general introduction, providing an overview of analytical chemistry, a review of the basic equipment and mathematical tools of analytical chemistry, including significant figures, units, and stoichiometry, and an introduction to the terminology of analytical chemistry. Chapters 4–7 cover several topics that are important in understanding how analytical methods work. Later chapters are mostly independent of these chapters, allowing an instructor to choose those topics that support his or her goals. Chapter 4 provides an introduction to the statistical analysis of data. Methods for calibrating equipment and standardizing methods are covered in Chapter 5, along with a discussion of linear regression. Chapter 6 provides an introduction to equilibrium chemistry, stressing both the rigorous solution to equilibrium problems and the use of semiquantitative approaches, such as ladder diagrams. The importance of collecting the right sample, and methods for separating analytes and interferents are the subjects of Chapter 7. Chapters 8–13 cover the major areas of analysis, including gravimetry (Chapter 8), titrimetry (Chapter 9), spectroscopy (Chapter 10), electro¬chemistry (Chapter 11), chromatography and electrophoresis (Chapter 12), and kinetic methods (Chapter 13). Related techniques, such as acid-base titrimetry and redox titrimetry, are intentionally gathered together in single chapters. Combining related techniques in this way encourages students to see the similarity between methods, rather than focusing on their differences. Finally, the textbook concludes with two chapters discussing the design and maintenance of analytical methods, two topics of importance to all experimental chemists. Chapter 14 considers the development of an analytical method, including its optimisation, verification, and validation. Quality control and quality assessment are discussed in Chapter 15.

description: This book explores fundamentals and rehearsal techniques in ensemble playing, focusing on small ensembles for flutes and other wind instruments. It aims to increase the so far limited literature resources in ensemble playing and chamber music pedagogy, esp. for wind players. It is addressed to undergraduate as well as post-graduate music students, to instrumental music teachers, ensemble coaches and conductors at all levels in music education, as well as to professional musicians. Defining and concisely analysing basic concepts, principles and values of playing together, it offers a comprehensive account of the relevant theoretical background, while systematically building bridges between theory and practice – practice and theory. Each matter is dealt with on the basis of musical experience and oral traditions as well as scientific knowledge while the proposed exercises and explorations encourage the readers to draw their own actionable insights. Building upon each musician’s individual experiences from the moment of discovery to full physical and mental comprehension of various aspects of playing music together, Con-sonances aims to approach the ensemble playing practice in a holistic and interdisciplinary manner and, starting with wind instruments, to contribute to the further development of chamber music pedagogy. The first part of the book outlines and examines key ensemble playing principles, preconditions and traits governing a proficient chamber music performance. Methods and good practices in approaching and studying new works particularly in the context of small flute and other wind instrument ensembles are introduced and described. In separate chapters, terms, notions and concepts are introduced and elaborated, such as a) collective sound and timbre, b) tuning and intonation, c) interpretive approaches focused on collective musical gesture and d) internal and external factors and conditions for a productive collaboration and the good functioning of a musical ensemble. The second part contains the reference musical material of the book. This consists in a series of transcriptions in all major and minor keys by Ria Georgiadis of short independent vocal works from the Renaissance until the present times, as well as an original composition by the same author. Each work has been transcribed for a flute ensemble as well as for one or more additional homogenous or mixed wind ensembles involving flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, trumpets, horns and trombones. Additional elements such as historical background information, concise descriptive analysis, outlines of structural and stylistic characteristics as well as translations of the original lyrics accompany the scores, of each piece, as a guide to understanding the character of each composition, highlighting the relationship of music to text and shaping the interpretation.

description:
This handbook intends to be what its title states: A book on the theory and practice of archives management. For this reason, we divided the book into two parts, one theoretical and one applied. The first part consists of two chapters. The first examines the "discovery" of archives by historians, their relevance to history, and the emergence of archival studies as an autonomous field. In the second chapter, the archival theory is presented and the basic archival principles are analyzed. The second part of the book mainly concerns the applied part of archival jobs and organizes archival workload in three cycles corresponding to three chapters (the cycle of acquisition, the cycle of intellectual control, the cycle of promotion and access). The description of archival work is detailed and accompanied by examples and good practices.
For the acquisition cycle, we run all initiations that an archivist should take, listing questions that archivists often have. For the intellectual part, there is considerable discussion of arrangement methods, and we present several of the standards and schemas that archivists use today when describing material. Finally, for the third cycle, we list some key issues that professionals must deal with about substrate damage and the great challenge of promoting archival material to the public.

Kallipos, Open Academic Editions, which presents in detail the classic and contemporary models used in modeling economic & financial data. The present book focuses on the application of these models in the context of real empirical economic problems.The collection consists of eight independent empirical studies. The empirical studies analyze contemporary issues in macroeconomic science distinguished by advanced theoretical research and empirical analysis. The studies are applied to Greek financial data and each empirical study concludes some general and specific objectives, the most basic of which is the strengthening of pre-existing scientific knowledge through the creation of new and original knowledge. The goal of each empirical study is to present applied econometric analysis of data by combining economic theory to optimize the explanatory power of various economic models. Each study follows a specific methodology and structure.

keywords: Renewable Energy Applications in Buildings

description: Building Physics, as a scientific discipline, examines the mechanisms of interaction of the building with the environment, as well as the mechanisms of shaping the living conditions inside it. Therefore, it covers part of the knowledge used in Environmental Architectural Design to ensure satisfactory indoor comfort and hygiene conditions with the minimum possible consumption of non-renewable energy. The book is organized into three sections-chapters. The first section describes the basic characteristics of the natural environment and the impact on it of anthropogenic activities. The second section includes chapters from Building Physics, concerning the management of basic environmental parameters, such as solar radiation, temperature, humidity, wind, indoor air pollution, noise, in relation to the effects on buildings and the consequences of these effects on the formation of conditions inside them. The third section examines in general the integration of the building into its environment, natural and man-made. Reference is made to the inverse effects, i.e., those that the building exerts on the environment, both direct and wider, and in particular those that are related to its behavior as an energy consumer. In this context, the applications of Renewable Energy Sources in buildings are also examined.

description: The essay “Mountains. Natural Environment and Societies, Mountainous Greece” will be the main course book of the postgraduate course “Environment and Development of Mountainous Areas”. This is the introductory module of the MSc programme of the same name, carried out by the National Technical University of Athens in the town of Metsovo (Greece) at the facilities of the Metsovio Interdisciplinary Research Center. The book consists of 12 Chapters, which cover a great variety of issues related to mountainous areas. Chapter 1 refers to the importance of mountains for our planet, as well as to the various ways of defining mountainous areas. Orogeny and the geological evolution of mountain masses are described in Chapter 2. Chapter 3 covers the subject of high-altitude climate and Chapter 4 focuses on resources and energy issues. Chapter 5 is dedicated to the characteristics and evolution of mountain societies. Issues related to mountain cultures are approached by Chapter 6. An extensive description of the main mountain ranges of earth and the main mountains of Greece is made in Chapters 7 and 8, respectively. The history of mountainous Greece is included in Chapter 9, while Chapter 10 focuses on social inequalities and environmental issues that are threatening mountainous territories. In Chapter 11, opportunities for economic development in mountainous settlements are analysed. Finally, in Chapter 12 policies for protecting and developing mountainous areas are described, both globally and in Greece. Mountain societies stood the test of time. They can provide our modern societies with valuable knowledge towards a sustainable course closer to nature. The book highlights this issue. Moreover, gaining a deeper understanding of mountainous areas is necessary in the course of revitalization and development.

description:
Ethnographic Research in Ethnomusicology by Alexandra Balandina is a bold and immersive guide to the messy, embodied, and profoundly human process of conducting ethnographic fieldwork in ethnomusicology. Drawing from the author’s fieldwork in Iran, Greece, and former Yugoslavia, as well as two decades of academic experience, this unique textbook demystifies each step of the ethnographic research journey. It discusses how to craft a research plan and write a research proposal, what it means to engage in participant observation and arts-based research as an embodied scholar, how to write field notes and conduct interviews, the importance of music transcription and audiovisual research methods in ethnomusicology, the consideration of ethical issues at all stages, the cultural study of musical instruments, as well as data analysis and interpretation, and the writing of ethnographic texts.
Blending theory and practice, this interactive multimedia textbook, published by Kallipos Open Academic Editions, offers students visual, sonic, and narrative windows into the field. Through discussions of emerging concepts such as embodied and sensory research, methodological reflexivity, researchers’ positionality, ethnographic listening, and fieldwork in uncertain times, it engages with the embodied, affective, ethical, and intellectual dimensions of ethnographic fieldwork.
This step-by-step manual offers practical guidance and deep insight for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as for researchers across the social sciences and humanities. Rich in theory, images, sound, and stories from the field, this book is an indispensable field companion, preparing field researchers for the joys, challenges, and transformative encounters of ethnographic research.

description: This is an undergraduate book about the clinical anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. Through 250 pages and 239 images, the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system is presented in a concise way, but particularly targeted and comprehensive, covering all the information that the student of medicine, physical therapy and nursing needs to know in order to continue their studies. The material of the book is classified into five chapters, following topographical criteria. An effort has been made so that the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system is not disconnected from clinical practice and the patient. In order to achieve this, clinical extensions and correlations of the anatomy are presented, in order to make the subject more understandable and to be connected with the pathology presented by the musculoskeletal system. Clinical information is presented in different characters so that it is distinct and facilitates the student's study. In this way, the student realizes the usefulness and necessity of good knowledge of anatomy and is facilitated so that his knowledge is consolidated.

description: The book “Energy Resources and Politics from the 19th to 21st Century” examines the strategic importance of energy resources for contemporary states and the claims over them during the 19th and 20th centuries. We follow the transition from the age of coal to the age of oil, Europe’s attempt at energy self-sufficiency and the rally between Europe and the USA for exploiting oil resources in the East and the Ottoman Empire. We investigate how oil exploration affected the strategy of the parties involved in WW II, the post-war USA presence in the Middle East, the oil crisis in the ‘70s and its consequences. We consider the coal-to-oil ratio in Europe, the exploration of new sources of hydrocarbons, as well as possible alternatives to the energy puzzle. We further analyze the policies of oil-producing countries, along with the geopolitics of oil and natural gas pipes. We examine the dependence of Europe on Russia with concern to hydrocarbons, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the stance of Turkey and the inauguration of new oil-related wars in the Middle East. Concerning the Greek case, we examine the energy dependence of Greece, the exploitation of lignite and oil reserves, and issues relating to the EEZ and the energy policy, considering the Eastern Mediterranean's importance to Europe. Finally, the book takes an interest in current global antagonism instances and the energy policy of the USA and China.

description: Hemostasis is a fundamental function in blood physiology and is therefore a central focus of modern hematology. However, it is also relevant to all medical specialties, as both hemorrhage and thrombosis represent two critical aspects of a balanced system that protects the body and are manifestations of various pathological conditions. Today, thrombosis in any form is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, while hemorrhagic syndromes, whether hereditary or acquired, and often difficult to treat, are significant causes of both morbidity and mortality. Recognizing this, the Foundation of the Hellenic Society of Hematology decided to publish this manual for a broader medical audience, particularly young doctors. The manual aims to assist with both addressing problems encountered in daily clinical practice and identifying potential research areas. This book is written in a mixed style, combining encyclopedic knowledge with practical advice. Across thirty chapters, authored by experts in the field, it thoroughly covers both the theory and clinical practice related to hemostasis issues. The comprehensive approach taken by the authors not only enhances the quality of the knowledge presented but also reflects the broader philosophy of Greek hematology, aiming to foster a deeper understanding and a modern approach to managing hemorrhage and thrombosis for the optimal treatment of patients.

description: The evolution of computers with reference to the four generations of computing machines and the philosophical view of computing by the founders of theoretical computing, Turing (Turing's Machine), Gödel, Hilbert, are the cornerstone of today's digital age. With the modern times and the need to develop technologies to cope with COVID-19 pandemic, flexible forms of work emerged, whose advantages and disadvantages are mentioned. The digital age has led us to the electronic press, e-books, Digital Culture. Digital games took the place of the classic way of developing and educating young people. The extensive reference to Second Life, which has also served as a teaching tool, highlights the possibilities for the user of a digital game. Uninterrupted involvement has various health effects. Applications such as digital gold, cryptocurrencies, digital stamps and 4th Industrial Revolution technologies are some modern digital applications. In the context of inclusiveness of all, applications with advanced assistive technologies using mobile devices have been developed for the benefit of citizens and their key elements as well as links are presented. In this context, a brief description of the MAKATON vocabulary is also given. Digital transformation has accelerated in recent years and today applications are provided that aim to better serve citizens in their daily transactions (digital birth declaration, National Register of Administrative Procedures, e-wallet, e-health, e-auctions, the land registry, etc.). However, the use of our data through computers, with the risk of interception, has led to the need to protect privacy and personal data. Techniques that help to protect privacy and ensure data confidentiality are analysed. Finally, considering that justice is part of our live, ways of identification, electronic drugs and cybercrime are described and this textbook concludes with the european cybersecurity strategy.
