description: The book examines current issues of translation in various social contexts. ranslation is considered  as a socio-cultural practice that is deeply rooted in the context set by the field to which it belongs. It is not an activity that occurs in isolation. It is carried out by individuals for various reasons and to fulfill specific purposes. The study of translation in social practices therefore takes into account the thesis that "translation is an activity" that occupies a particular cultural system. It also takes into account the role of the translator in transmitting identities, in shaping the image of communities and in disseminating political and religious beliefs and doctrines. The book gives the user a clear and unambiguous picture of the content and the demands placed on him/her. Thus, the structure of each chapter is consistent and includes:  a summary; the background knowledge needed for the chapter; the learning objectives; the main text, which presents the theories, practical examples and related training activities; the conclusion; an indicative commentary on the activities in the main text; the bibliographical sources; the external web-based learning material and videos for further study; a translation crossword puzzle with the main terms of the chapter; consolidation activities; and a series of reflection topics, in practical activities of text analysis, application of theory in practice and triggering a discussion cycle. The ten chapters deal with the following topics: Translation and sociology; cultural approaches to translation; the translator as mediator; translation in postcolonial context; translation of sacred texts; translation in professional settings; argumentation and persuasive techniques in translation; intertextual and intertemporal relations in translation; researching the social space of translation; descriptive translation studies.

description: The book is designed to offer a multi-faceted and nuanced examination of gender and sexual relations in Europe by adopting a longue durée perspective from the 12th to the 18th century, a period which conventionally includes the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and early modernity. In this view, the book examines long-term continuities but also transformations engendered by institutional, social and economic transitions and processes, such as feudalism, the Renaissance, the Reformation, urbanization, merchant capitalism, changes in medical theories and the emergence of civil society. How were gender, sex and the body conceptualized, imagined, normalized, and performed in the patriarchal societies of premodern Europe? Gender, sex and the body are approached as practices, discursive constructions, performances and representations and at the same time they serve as sites where the values, taxonomies, social processes, and symbolic idioms of premodern European societies can be discerned. Weaving together printed sources, visual material and literary texts, the book discusses examples and case studies from various social and geographical milieus of the premodern past. It surveys debates and interpretive trajectories from gender and women’s history, the history of sexuality and the body, queer theory, history and literary criticism. Interdisciplinary in scope, the book draws on cultural and social history, gender and queer history, and on insights from the fields of Medieval and Renaissance Studies.

description:
Τhe city is the most complex and intricate human artifact and at the same time our everyday environment. The physical form and the management of the urban environment greatly determines people’s everyday life and health, social relations, and economic growth in cities, as well as the future of humanity on our planet. Therefore, urban design interests all of us, both experts and laymen . The main theme of this book is how urban design can improve people’s lives , through the adoption of the humanistic approach in the entire spectrum of design scales, from strategic planning to the microscale design of physical space. It is articulated in ten chapters, in which the reader is acquainted with the history, the theory and the practical applications of the human-centered approach in urban design. Each chapter corresponds to an autonomous lecture and includes various learning activities (discussion points, in-class exercises, videos etc.), following Diane Laurillard’s theory of six learning types.
The book also focuses on public spaces, as a field of study of urbanism and as a field of practice of urban design, and at the same time it emphasizes on their importance for sustainable urban development. It presents the history of the city through the lens of the human scale, the genealogy of the social approach in urbanism, with an emphasis on observational studies of public space, and it elaborates on the philosophy of human-centered design, mainly through Jan Gehl’s concept of “life between buildings”. Using case studies and best practice examples, it proposes basic design principles for human-centered public spaces and urban streets. It puts emphasis on ecological thinking, which is an indispensable part of the humanistic design approach, especially today, as we face the consequences of catastrophic human intervention on ecosystems and of anthropogenic climate change.

description:
This book aims to present the cultural evolution of man from the moment of his appearance on earth approximately 2.6 million years ago until the end of the Neolithic era. It covers the entire period of the Stone Age, an era that is a key stage in
the evolution of human civilization. The aim of this book is to present the main characteristics of each period of the Stone Age (Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic) related to the  habitation, economy, society, burial customs and beliefs, the techniques developed (stone carving, ceramics, basket weaving) , jewelry, etc.) and art. Since the Stone Age covers the geological periods of the Pleistocene and the Holocene, where major climatic and geomorphological changes occurred on a global scale, the knowledge of all these changes in the palaeoenvironment is very fundamental to understanding this long period. Thus, this book will briefly present the most important paleoclimatic events which drastically influenced both the formation of paleogeography and the landscape as well as the cultural evolution of man.
Also, the most important archaeological sites of Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean will be presented. Although the archaeological sites are numerous, the most important and necessary for the knowledge of an undergraduate student or for any reader who wants a comprehensive knowledge of the Stone Age in our wider region have been selected.

description: Geostatistics, according to the definition of its founder, G. Matheron, is an application of the theory of Random Functions (RF) in Geosciences. Its goal is the development of efficient interpolation algorithms for the creation of 3D maps of the variable of interest. The aim of the book is to introduce the readers to the basic concepts of Geostatistics and its application to Mineral Exploration problems, the most important being the calculation of reserves of a mineral deposit. In particular, the basic statistical concepts and the corresponding analysis of exploration data for the estimation of ore reserves are included, with reference to the sampling methods and the relative errors introduced by them. The concepts of RF and Regionalized Variables, as well as stochastic estimation in general, are presented in a simplified way. This is followed by an introduction to the tools of spatial analysis, variograms and covariance functions. Kriging algorithms are presented to estimate the features at unsampled locations, based on the available borehole samples. Reference is made to estimation errors and cross-validation methods. This is followed by an introduction to the concept and methods of stochastic simulation as an alternative to estimation, in cases where it is desirable to examine different scenarios for the economic evaluation of the investment. The previous methods are then applied to the spatial mapping of the geotechnical parameters of the deposit and the surrounding formations. The prevailing reserves classification systems and the way to calculate the parameters required to characterize the orebody according to them are described. Finally, enough case studies are presented for all the topics of the book. In most of them, the original data is also available, so that there is the possibility of practicing using programs in R language, which are also available on the Internet.

description: Health and welfare professionals encounter individuals and families with substance use or abuse problems very often in their clinical practice. The serious dimensions that the phenomenon of addiction has taken worldwide and also in our country, require from health and welfare professionals to set up an effective management strategy for the problems of substance use and abuse they face every day. The academic textbook "Caring for the family with addiction problems" is an evidence-based academic textbook that aims to inform and raise awareness among health and welfare students/professionals on issues of family outreach and interventions. It, also, aims at the continuing education of health and welfare professionals on issues related to addiction and family burden including family violence as well as the training and professional self-development of professionals who work or wish to work in the field of addictions. The ultimate goal of this effort is to create a comprehensive handbook on issues related to clinical work, education and research in the family approach. The present textbook consists of a total of eleven chapters. These chapters attempt to help readers understand the framework of approaching affected family members and clarify key concepts and terms used in the field of empirically based family interventions. In addition, they aim to contribute to the sense of competence of undergraduate and postgraduate students regarding their knowledge of evidence-based family interventions, as well as their application in the context of addiction treatment, prevention centers, and primary and secondary health care.

description:
In this book, some of the fundamental principles of Mathematics are covered and its main aim is to contribute to the effort to “bridge the gap” for a smooth integration of newly admitted students in the Mathematics Schools of Greek Universities. The major problem that first-year Mathematics students in Greek Universities encounter is that they are not properly taught, and thus, they lack the “discipline” needed to think and express themselves mathematically (both orally and in writing).
The concepts in study are necessary, not only because first-year students will be able to keep up with the requirements of their classes, but also because their thorough understanding will render them capable of defending and supporting mathematical proofs. Anyone willing to commit to the study of Mathematics needs to adopt a mathematical way of thinking to corroborate mathematical statements and discover (mathematical) facts. In that way, he/she learns to research, judge, comprehend mathematical proofs and formulate his/her proofs.
To study this book, prerequisite knowledge is minimal. By refreshing this knowledge, we can slowly move forward by identifying gaps and even confusion and errors in our previous understanding. We can also observe that the mathematical way of thinking may be different from the way of thinking in other scientific disciplines. Studying Mathematics is a dynamic process that requires energy, and superficial “scanning” is not sufficient.
Furthermore, limiting oneself to a single textbook, however good it is, may “trap” the reader. Therefore, as the Mathematics study presents regressions, we need to have flexibility. We must also make clear the line between comprehension, answering a question, and outlining a problem-solving strategy, both orally and in writing.
As previously said, this book addresses the needs of students in Greek Mathematics Schools. Nonetheless, it can still be a useful aid for anyone who intends to start studying Mathematics. Thus, it has a flexible structure to support self-learning.

description:
The textbook "Sericulture" is an academic textbook for students in higher education. Through the 11 chapters of the textbook, and after an introduction to the historical past and the current status of sericulture in Greece and worldwide (Chapter 1), the reader learns about mulberry cultivation (Chapter 2) and the use of mulberry leaves for silkworm rearing. In the following chapters, the reader learns about silkworm anatomy (Chapter 3) and its developmental physiology and nutrition (Chapter 4), silkworm eggs’ management (Chapter 5), the rearing of silkworm larvae (Chapter 6), cocoon production (Chapter 7) and the diseases affecting this insect (Chapter 8). The silkworm is reared to harvest its cocoon, therefore, in the final chapters of the textbook, the reader learns about cocoon quality assessment and silk reeling (Chapter 9) and the emerging uses of silk (Chapter 10) as a biotechnological and environmentally friendly material since there is a clear shift in scientific literature towards the use of silk as an animal product in a variety of applications, beyond its use as a textile material.
As silkworm rearing for silk production can no longer be considered a solely agricultural activity, it became necessary to draw on many, specialized and technical textbooks and sources in Japanese, English and Italian to compose the manuscript. A great deal of information was also drawn from extremely rare books that are no longer available in print. However, the reader is provided with several websites and links (Chapter 11) for access to audio-visual material and databases covering a wide range of information on sericulture.

description: The present book "Instrumentation and Techniques – With an emphasis on Bioengineering" is an attempt to introduce and provide deeper knowledge to the field of Biomedical Instrumentation. This multidisciplinary field includes instruments and measurement systems to acquire information from the human body. A combination of knowledge and technologies is required to study the structural, functional, mechanical, biological, and chemical properties of biosystems. The importance of biomedical measurements and instruments to human health and well-being makes it necessary for scientists to obtain sufficient knowledge of measurement techniques and sensors, electronic, optical, and electromagnetic, to understand Biomedical Instrumentation and its applications. The book covers commonly used biomedical instruments and components. It describes the physical principles underlying their operation, physical limitations, interaction with biosystems, and the extracted information. The method of measuring electrical quantities, their effect on the human body and the basic sensors for mechanical quantities, temperature and measurement of chemical concentrations are presented. The operation of the ultrasound imaging and the acquired information are analyzed. In addition, the fundamental principles of optics are mentioned, and optical elements and their properties are described. The basic analytical optical instruments for acquiring information as signals or images are presented. More specifically, visible and UV absorption, fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopies are described and analyzed. The operation of various microscopes such as optical, fluorescence, confocal laser scanning, two-photon and atomic force microscopes are analyzed. The knowledge of the operation of biomedical instruments and devices will enable a scientist to design new, install, maintain, and repair biomedical instruments and provide technical assistance.

description:
Energy and its varioussources are a critical factor for economic development. Our past and current energy choices have enabled many incredible opportunities and benefits for society. The creation of incalculable wealth and prosperity for the inhabitants of our planet, the massive expansion of the population around the world, the exploitation of the vast amounts of natural resources and the creation of a sense of security but also the environmental outbreaks and dangers are due to the use of energy. Energy is the foundation upon which all nations, economies and societies have been built.
In the last three decades, the incentive to examine our energy system has been very limited, as the energy industry has largely relied on its ability to provide increasing amounts of these vital inputs to global economic growth. However, the two energy crises in the 1970s and the most recent one, the problems from the greenhouse effect and therefore  the greatest problem for humanity climate changebrought to the fore, the economics of energy and much more recently the economics of climate change. In recent years, the study of sustainable development has contributed to the immense need to adapt to new conditions of production and consumption, among other things, intensifying the necessity for the creation of a modern book that connects these complex and seemingly unrelated issues.
The consequence was the revision of curricula on a global scale to include the subject of energy and climate change economics, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with the aim ofeducating and preparingyoung scientists and at the same time  of informing citizens for contemporary challenges.

description:
The book discusses ways in which we approach literary texts. Our aim is to explore literary practice through different epistemological perspectives offered by theoretical discourse, so as to enrich our interpretive tools and reflect on our reading skills, judgements and preferences.
It provides a comprehensive overview of various literary theories, each of which is described and placed in its socio-historical context. It deals primarily with the theoretical principles and concepts that form the basis for practical methods and strategies needed to guide critical practice. It is organized around specific theoretical paradigms, which are accompanied by literary texts that serve to highlight the ways in which each paradigm conceives literary interpretation, as well as to identify both the possibilities and the limits of each particular approach. The structure of the book will allow the reader to become familiar with hermeneutics and reading theories, formalism, structuralism and semiotics, classical and post-classical narratology, Marxism, psychoanalytic theory, deconstruction, feminist literary theory, queer and postcolonial theory, and, finally, recent trends in literary theory.

description: Biography as a literary genre may have lost its allure among modern readers. However, the figure of Hannibal, the fearless Carthaginian general who crossed the Alps with elephants to menacingly approach the walls of Rome, continues to hold a significant place in the collective memory of the world, even in present times. This book provides an accessible, well-structured, and multimedia-informed interpretation of the life and career of Hannibal, as portrayed by the Roman biographer Cornelius Nepos. Within the pages of this textbook, alongside the Latin text, readers will find a rich introduction that provides clear and comprehensible insights into the historical, political, social, and economic backdrop of the Punic Wars, Hannibal’s endeavours, and the political and intellectual conditions in which Nepos created his work. The extensive commentary delves into a wide range of linguistic, grammatical, syntactical, stylistic, as well as historical and factual issues. Additionally, the inclusion of audio files featuring the reading of the biography’s chapters in Latin proves highly useful. The bibliography provided is comprehensive, up-to-date, and covers diverse topics, including ancient biography, distinctive features of Nepos’ work, as well as the reception of Hannibal in contemporary literature and cinema. Although the book primarily targets students and scholars of Latin philology, biography, and the political and military history of the ancient Mediterranean, its rich and multifaceted commentary ensures accessibility and appeal to a broader audience.

description: Audio and image processing, with its variety of applications in the modern world, lies under the umbrella of signal processing, a subject that makes extensive use of mathematics and is commonly presented and taught as such. However, this may discourage or even exclude interested students that may not have or are not interested in acquiring the necessary mathematical knowledge while they are interested mostly in concepts and tools. There appears to be a gap in the Greek literature in this respect, that is attempted to be filled by this book. It aspires to show that math is not necessary in understanding basic mono- and two-dimensional signal processing when audio and image signals are to be processed.  Both classical and modern topics and applications are presented, which include digitization of a signal, ways of analyzing it in time/space and/or frequency and use of them in problems of enhancement, restoration and compression of audio/image. In this context, modern machine learning methodologies are also presented, with application including separation of mixed signals and image retrieval from image databases, among others. Examples, both solved and in the form of problems, are provided throughout. This also holds for software tools (based on MATLAB ©) with which the reader can reproduce the examples and create her/his own applications.

description: Zoology is a core subject in the undergraduate programs of Biology around the world, and students’ laboratory practice is essential to solidifying and broadening their theoretical training. This textbook is a guide for the laboratory training of invertebrate zoology students. It includes a series of exercises that focus on the morphology and systematics of basic taxa aiming to allow the student comprehend the structure and diversity of the animal kingdom. The first two laboratory exercises examine the protozoan group and the structure of animal tissues, followed by exercises on the animal taxa of sponges, cnidarians, platyhelminthes, nematodes, annelids, molluscs, chelicerates, myriapods, crustaceans, insects, and echinoderms. For each group, general information is given about its biology, its basic classification at the class or order level; representative organisms are presented with numerous images with detailed indications that help the student observe under the microscope, in living or preserved material, the characteristics of animals. For some groups, such as molluscs, crustaceans and echinoderms, the anatomy of characteristic species is included, with detailed descriptions and exemplifying illustrations, so that the student can perform the anatomy himself following the instructions. In several cases, e.g. sponges, molluscs, insects, crustaceans, the learning of the group is completed with the use of identification keys specially constructed so that the student becomes familiar with the most common species of the Greek fauna.

description: The textbook aims at raising awareness (a) of pragmatic variation, interculturally, between Greek and English, as manifested through translation practice and (b) of methodological aspects of translation research, which are often neglected in postgraduate research. Chapter 1 focuses on the notion of translation shift in target discourses of various genres and tackles certain methodological issues, which permeate research in translation studies. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 deal with one pragmatic type of variation each, which the textbook approaches through translation practice on stage, in novels, in tourism, in academic discourse, in technical texts, etc. Chapter 2 deals with deixis and discourse connectivity, namely, with phenomena affected by the positive politeness of Greek.  Chapter 3 deals with speech acts and how they are performed differently cross-culturally and manifest themselves through translation. Chapter 4 deals with how translators transfer implicatures across English-Greek, by either enforcing them or toning them down to meet the communicative goals of discourse in the reception environment. Chapter 5 goes back to methodological issues in translation research, highlighting how the intercultural variation, presented in previous chapters, may be fruitfully researched. Chapter 6 summarizes themes tackled in the textbook and sheds light on the interdisciplinary nature of translation research. All chapters are followed by discussion questions on pragmatic variation between English andGreek, as manifested through translation practice. Suggested answers to the discussion questions appear in a separate section at the end of the book. The textbook raises intercultural awareness via English-Greek translation practice, it broadens perception of how translators may be using their freedom in transferring meaning cross-culturally, and enforces the methodological apparatus of postgraduates in translation research.

description:
This textbook is an introduction to the reader to the economic principles of business economics in relation to the new information technologies that have changed the way business is done. The book is divided into two parts: Part A deals with business economics and market analysis, while Part B deals with the 'new' economics of information technology.
In particular, Part A presents the theory of supply and demand of 'traditional' product markets and the analysis of the factors that determine these two sides of the market. Cost and production theories and forms of markets for goods are analyzed (perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition). Part B of the book focuses on the information goods that have created a new era, the so-called digital revolution and the 'new' information economy. An analysis is made of the main characteristics of information goods and their differences from physical goods, the effects of networks on markets, the externalities created in the demand for goods, as well as the pricing forms of information products are described. Moreover, the issues of innovation and entrepreneurship, copyright, patents and their legal protection are analyzed. Next, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their effects on firms’ productivity and the economy are examined. Finally, case studies of new developments in information technology such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, chain technology and digital currencies, 5G technology, big data science and automation technology are presented.

description: This book surveys the rapid development of digital media like digital television, the participatory Internet, multimedia services, social networking sites and mobile technology, focusing on their social diffusion and analysing the impact of these media broadly on society, local and international politics and Economics. It aims to provide an integrated platform for students to engage and critically analyse the issues surrounding the multifaceted relationships between digital media and the society in general. For this purpose, it attempts to include most critical areas of influence of digital media in the context of Social Sciences: Society, Politics and Economics. In the first three chapters, the introductory terms and notions are presented, including the Information Society and the transition to the Networked Society. In the following chapter, the transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 is described and social media and Social Networking Analysis are introduced. Two chapters of this book are dedicated on implications of social media in Politics, Education and the New Generation. In five chapters of the book, the Ηabermasian Public Sphere issues are investigated through the lens of digital media. Therefore, the Digital Divide is initially defined followed by an analysis of many critical areas including Democracy in the Digital Age, e-Government, e-Business and e-Commerce. Subsequently, Social Movements and Activism in the Digital Age are analysed. The book "Digital Media and Society: Convenient Regulators of Society, Politics and Economics" aims to become an essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Social Sciences generally without a special scientific or technical background, who aim to explore and potentially seek motivation for more in depth investigation of one (or more) of the following dynamically evolving areas, such as the realm of digital media, the Internet, social media, the public sphere, the mobile culture, Internet Politics and Digital Marketing.

description:
The book offers an introduction to the basic concepts and methods of Contrastive Linguistics (CL), a rapidly developing branch of theoretical and applied Linguistics. CL is one of the fields that deal with the comparison between languages. CL compares a small number of languages (usually two to four) from a synchronic point of view and independently of their genetic relationship.
The first part of the book introduces the basic concepts and the methodology of CL and presents the relationship between CL and both Historical – Comparative Linguistics and Language Typology. It also examines the differences between linguistic theories (generative and functionalist ones) about contrastive analysis and analyzes inter-linguistic comparison at every level of the language system (phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), as well as pragmatics.
The second part of the book focuses on a specific contrastive analysis of linguistic data in four languages (Greek, Italian, French, German). In particular, the phenomena discussed are a) the definite article, in which syntax, semantics, and morphology are involved, and b) compounding, a morphological process with semantic dimensions.
Although the point of view of contrastive analysis is mainly synchronic, it also includes the diachronic dimension to give a full interpretation. Each chapter includes exercises on both the theory and its applications.

description: Karst is the term used to describe a unique type of landscape, which has a particular hydrology and includes characteristic surface and subsurface landforms. Karst landscape is created by the dissolution of karst rocks. Karst areas can be found around the world and many people live in them because they contribute to the economy of an area. The study of karst may offer to the understanding of karst environments, their fragility and their value for human development. This book examines karst environments, their significance and main problems. Each chapter is accompanied by theory comprehension questions and/or laboratory exercises. In the first chapter, the definitions concerning the science of karst, its spatial distribution and the karst landscape are presented. In the second chapter karst rocks and karst processes are described. The third chapter analyzes the surface and subsurface runoff of the karst regions. In the fourth chapter, the base level, and the depth of the karstification are examined. The fifth chapter deals with the small features of surface karst forms and specifically with karren. In the sixth chapter, the main surface karst macro-forms are recorded. The seventh chapter examines subsurface karst formations. In the eighth chapter, the main classifications of caves are presented. The ninth chapter deals with the relationship between climate and karst. The tenth chapter focuses on human activities in karst regions. The eleventh chapter analyzes karst natural hazards. Finally, in the twelfth chapter, the anthropogenic hazards influencing the surface and subsurface karst are described.

description: “Mathematics is Biology’s Next Microscope, Only Better; Biology is Mathematics’ Next Physics, Only Better” is the title of a paper by J. E. Cohen, that gives a particularly successful illustration of the impressive development of Mathematical Biology in the 21st century. Mathematics provides the appropriate means to deal with complex biological systems at various levels of organization and is thus extremely effective (also) in Biology. This book aims to present basic and more advanced methods of Differential Equations (Ordinary (ODE) and Partial (PDE)), Dynamical Systems and Applied Mathematics through applications in Biology. Elements of the following areas of Mathematical Biology are presented: Ecology, Epidemiology, Biochemical Kinetics and Diffusion. In the first part (Ecology), the following models are introduced and studied: exponential (continuous and discrete), logistic (without and with the Allee effect), multi-population (population interaction), Lotka-Volterra (basic, first and second variant of). In the second part (Epidemiology), dynamic epidemiological compartmental models are introduced and studied, and the SIR model (without and with demographic terms) is also studied. In the third part (Biochemical Kinetics), the basic elements of chemical reaction theory, the basic model of enzyme catalysis, the standard and the inverse quasi-steady state hypotheses, and various models of autocatalysis are introduced and studied. In the fourth part (Diffusion) the basic models (exponential and logistic) with a diffusion term and the concept of the pattern index are introduced and studied. The necessary mathematical background is presented and developed at the end of each chapter, after the study of the biological problem and includes: elements of the basic theory of Initial Value Problems (IVPs) for ODEs, discretization of IVPs, stability analysis (linearization, Lyapunov functions, periodic solutions of autonomous IVPs), bifurcation, limit cycles and Hopf bifurcation, basic Poincaré-Bendixson theory, introduction to the concept of non-dimensionalization, locally approximate solutions and their matching, Initial-Boundary Value Problems (IBVPs) for second-order PDEs, degenerate and standard IBVPs, maximum/minimum principle, Fourier series, Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems, stationary solutions and their stability, the autonomous standard IBVP for the semilinear diffusion equation and the dependence of stationary solutions on parameters.

description:
The book Disability Studies and Inclusive Education outlines key approaches, perspectives, and issues on disability in the Greek context. It involves a paradigm shift, as disability takes a unique position, overlapping with humanities and social sciences in myriad ways.
Disability Studies is an area of academic study that examines social, political, cultural, and economic factors that define disability. Disability Studies challenge the view of disability as a deficit or defect that can be cured or treated.  Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary areas including sociology, history, cultural studies, education, and policy this book offers a new framework for thinking about disability in Greece.
The book consists of four chapters. Each main chapter has a concise introduction, key concepts, as well as suggestions for wider reading.
This book will introduce readers, undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, policymakers, and disabled people to the discipline of Disability Studies and Inclusive Education and enable them to engage critically with the field.

description: Environment is what surrounds us. Based on this general assumption, this textbook attempts an approach to environmental factors that either directly or indirectly affect the eye and vision. The concept of environment is just as complex as the concept of health. In fact, the definition of the environment has gone through many stages, mainly because of the different perspectives that is approached. The environment refers to everything that surrounds an element, object, or organism. In this way, the term "environment" covers anything that can directly affect the behavior as well as the health of living organisms, such as light, air, water, and other factors. According to Law No.1650/1986, the environment is defined as "the set of natural and man-made factors and elements that are in interaction and affect the ecological balance, the quality of life, the health of the inhabitants, the historical and cultural tradition and the aesthetic values». So, we will browse our environment, the daily environment of each of us, and we will try to identify the environmental factors that are harmful to the eye health and vision. We research, through the literature, if there are risks of environmental origin, even inside our home, from the moment our day begins to the end of it, whether they are cumulative or not, and what they can cause. We have created thematic units-chapters for better understanding, starting with what the environment is and what belongs to it, what are its effects on human health and by extension on the eye and vision. We study separately the indoor from the outdoor effects on human health and the eye, as well as the causes that cause inflammations, allergies, the effect of nutrition, radiation, all kinds of chemicals, GMOs and how these factors can affect the health of the eye.

description: The textbook with title: ‘Intrapartum Maternity Care: From theory to clinical practice’ has the main objective of enhancing the theoretical knowledge and clinical and communication skills of Midwifery students, and, within the context of lifelong learning, of all health professionals for issues surrounding childbirth. This textbook will add to the current literature on the provision of intrapartum maternity care. Numerous up-to-date data and evidence-based recommendations in accordance with the guidelines provided from international organisations and scientific authorities were utilised in the process of editing the textbook. The chapters are structured in such a way so as to promote and support the development of ‘critical thinking’ in the provision of maternity healthcare so that childbirthing is safe, effective and leads to a satisfactory birth experience. The textbook focuses on the communication skills that a midwife should possess and on the risk assessment that needs to be continuously performed in each phase of labour. Intrapartum maternal care represents the main core of knowledge and skills in Midwifery science that is required both for students and other healthcare professionals providing care at childbirth. This textbook contains 12 separate chapters. Initially, the role of the midwife upon admission of the parturient and the referral to the birthing suite is discussed. Next, the medication used in labour, cardiotocography, and non-pharmacological methods of pain relief are contemplated. A special chapter presents the natural (non-pharmacological) methods of labour augmentation. Abnormal presentations (breech presentation, occiput posterior position) and delivery of the second twin are discussed, whereas obstetrical emergencies such as shoulder dystocia, postpartum haemorrhage, and cord prolapse represent separate chapters. Finally, the textbook contains chapters on the issue of perineal care-episiotomy, vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC), and severe preeclampsia-eclampsia.

description: The book is divided into two parts. The first part presents the cooperatives that operate in Greece. Following the conceptual approach of the Social and Solidarity Economy and the governance of cooperatives, the dynamics of the groups and the characteristics that are critical factors for their smooth operation are analyzed. Emphasis is also placed on preventing and resolving conflicts, which are their two major problems together with economics. Governance models and human resources management strategies help to better understand the potential of these projects and the process of transforming them into sustainable collective actions. The second part presents practical questions as to how social enterprises operate. The development of good business plans is a crucial factor in their success. This perception is strengthened in the book by presenting both successful and failed examples from various areas of the Social and Solidarity Economy in Greece and abroad concerning their governance issues. The role of management in terms of total quality is also crucial for the effective progress of the cooperatives, especially those that lack resources. The author's choice to combine theoretical concepts with practical issues of governance and entrepreneurship helps to understand concepts that are necessary for people involved in Social, Economic, and Political Sciences. The topics of the book can also cover the needs of postgraduate students involved in this area.

description:
The book focuses on the international side of Human Resource Management (HRM) from three principal aspects: the Cross-Cultural Management view, the strategic view and the comparison between several HRM practices globally. Starting from Perlmutter’s three distinct approaches for staffing in multinational companies (ethnocentric, polycentric and geocentric), it presents the development of International Human Resource Management through the internationalization for firms. Early research focuses on multinationals that are mainly based on advanced economies, either in Europe, the States or Japan, while designating best practices in acquiring, staffing and managing human resources internationally is of primary importance. In recent years, since more and more studies involve multinational companies from developing economies, complex issues like cultural differences, new International Human Resource Management approaches, alternative ways of managing mergers and acquisitions, diversity management, come to the fore. We present the main characteristics of International Human Resource Management, studying the way people are managed internationally, and within multinational companies. The context within which national management systems and organizational practices develop play a central part, especially in terms of the cultural dimensions effect. Contrasting International HRM with its national version, we follow the challenges that multinational companies face, as well as the forces of globalization on national employment systems.
Taking into account recent academic research and international developments, the book covers contemporary issues like: the cross-border transfer of HRM practices, Strategic HRM, International assignments and recruitment, Expatriate development and repatriation, HRM in cross-border M&A, Global leaders development, International assessment of HR, Diversity Management globally, CSR through ethic HRM practices.

description: The book presents in detail the theory of Commutative Rings. First, the origins of Commutative Algebra are presented, and its connections to Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry and Invariant Theory are made. Next, the notion of the radical of an ideal as well as the extremely useful notion of localization with respect to a multiplicatively closed subset are given. Noetherian rings are defined, and Hilbert's Basis Theorem is proved. The notion of a primary decomposition is discussed. An introduction to monomial orderings and Groebner bases, a particularly important computational tool, is provided. For a ring R, the notion of an R-module is introduced, and a brief introduction to their Homological Algebra is given. The localization of R-modules is introduced as well, and properties of Noetherian and Artinian modules are considered. It is shown that every Artinian ring is Noetherian. The notion of integral ring extension is studied, with applications to number theory. Noether's Normalization Lemma and various forms of the equally fundamental Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz are proved. Krull’s dimension theory is presented. Hilbert’s and Hilbert-Samuel functions are defined and their connection with dimension theory are studied. Valuation rings and Dedekind integral domains are presented. An introduction to the theory of completion is given. Each chapter contains a section with related concepts to Algebraic Geometry while most of them have a section with related code in Macaulay2 Symbolic Algebra computing package. Moreover, each chapter contains many examples and unsolved exercises and the book is suitable for independent study in undergraduate and graduate level.

description: The Bibliographic Guide seeks to map the evolution of Greek reform thought during the first half of the 20th century and to identify its major trends. It consists of five chapters. The first provides an overview of modern Greek education between 1895 and 1950, and presents the key events and reforms of the era. The second chapter addresses the emergence and evolution of the New Education movement in Greece and inscribes it in the broader historical context. In addition, it identifies three distinct reform pedagogical currents and their relation to the language issue and the broader political processes that marked the contemporary Greek society. It presents the key pedagogical concepts, as developed in the context of New Education, as well as the way they are conceptually differentiated and appropriated by the three distinct manifestations of the Greek reform pedagogy. The next three chapters concentrate on liberal, conservative and socialist reform thought respectively. Each chapter is subdivided in sections that correspond to historical sub-periods and highlights their characteristics in terms of pedagogical positions and ideas. The material follows the historical succession and evolution of pedagogical ideas and delineates the social context that framed the reception and dissemination of the labour school principles. The primary and secondary sources presented in the Bibliographical Guide are indicative of the New Education currents, seeks to provide an informative picture of the Greek reform thought and to present key documentation of both the evolution of Greek reform thought during the first half of the 20th century and its distinct currents. The description of each bibliographical reference seeks to help readers to orient themselves in the research field and to evaluate the proposed material.

description:
This book attempts to interpret the material culture through the comprehension of the history and analysis of industrial design on one hand and the history of museum theories on the other. It investigates and designates the vicissitudes of the industrial everyday object’s identity as a result of its re-acquiring of meaning in an exhibitionary situation and the meaning of this procedure for this object’s contribution in the formation of identities of social subjects. The primary question therefore that this diatribe’s attempts to answer is whether and to what extent the industrial everyday object plays a determinant role in the formation of mainstream ideology and identity of social subjects in the course of the history of civilization, participating in the major narratives of modernity and the individual narratives of postmodernity.
It examines the object’s functional and value essence, the collecting practices and how the acts of choosing, classifying and arranging give meaning and are defined by the exhibitionary procedure. Explore the role and practices of National Museums at the time of their creation, as well as those of the International Exhibitions where the products of the Industrial Revolution were displayed as instruments for the formation of national identities, and the role the industrial design had in this process and the promotion of a “modern” lifestyle. Following this, the book marks the dialectic relationship between design and artistic creation and how the “common” object acquires new meaning as a “tool” for the re-definition of the work of art. Finally, it highlights the contemporary museum’s main features as these are shaped by the spread of consumerism and neo-liberal cultural policies, a museum not just as a place for education but also as a space for recreation and entertainment.

description: This book deals with work sports programs aimed at employees to increase physical activity and ultimately promote health. It analyzes ways and practices that can motivate employees to adopt healthy lifestyles, such as active commuting to and from work, increasing physical activity in free time, and improving eating habits. Such changes can bring about significant changes in the quality of life, increase life expectancy, and reduce costs of hospitalization and rehabilitation of injuries related to a sedentary lifestyle. At the same time, a lifelong change in the above habits can also motivate the children of workers to increase their physical activity, which many studies show is imperative. At the same time as the type of programs analyzed in the book, detailed reference is made to how they are implemented and applied in the work environment and outside it, as well as the tools for evaluating and redefining the programs' goals. Typical examples of intervention are given for each type of work, with the particularities it presents, and the appropriate exercise program for these population groups is proposed each time. Also, all the tools that a health and exercise specialist can use are presented in detail, as well as several good practices that can increase employees' participation in similar workplace actions. The students will acquire the appropriate knowledge to be able to propose each time both the personalized exercise program and to implement the necessary interventions to reduce the risk of injuries. It also elaborates on how modern cities can become more resident and visitor-friendly by making changes to the built environment to encourage active walking or cycling, bringing about changes in lifestyle and quality of life. Adopting lifelong habits such as walking and cycling can dramatically improve citizens' fitness and well-being and reduce the health risks of inactivity. The book presents all the interventions to make cities friendlier, and more pleasant to live in, to serve people and not stress them and make it difficult for them in everyday life. Conceptual elements and characteristics of the built environment that influence people's need for physical activity and living in more sustainable cities are also presented. The spaces that offer the conditions for physical activity are analyzed and the elements that make up the relationship between the built environment and physical activity are presented. The goal is always one. Cities should serve people and offer a better quality of life.
