description: This book can be used as the main book for postgraduate courses dealing with Quantum Information Processing and the programming of Quantum Computers. This book is complementary to the KALLIPOS book "Quantum Computing", which was designed for undergraduate courses, because it extends the subject of Quantum Computing to the postgraduate level. The book covers comprehensively the scientific subject of Quantum Information Processing and is self-contained because it contains all the material of Quantum Mechanics that is necessary for the understanding of Quantum Information Processing. The change of orthonormal basis and the subject of quantum measurement are analyzed. Error-correcting codes in quantum computers are described in detail. Quantum computer programming examples are given and quantum algorithms are analyzed. The teleportation process and the production and distribution of cryptographic quantum keys are described. A special category of quantum algorithms, the quantum games, are analyzed and their applications are described. A quantum game simulator is available through the book’s KALLIPOS website. Quantum algorithms based on quantum walks are presented analytically. The quantum cellular automata model is presented. Τhe quantum  harmonic oscillator and the implementation of superconducting qubits are described. Finally, the concept of quantum information and its connection with the free energy of quantum information processing systems are analyzed. The codes of the quantum algorithms are given in Python source code, in the form of Jupyter notebooks and are available through the KALLIPOS website. The codes are open and freely available. In the book the step-by-step process of submitting quantum algorithm codes for execution by real IBM quantum computers is described.

description: This textbook is an attempt to provide a holistic and contemporary approach to the phenomenon of corruption. More specifically, a theoretical approach to the phenomenon of corruption is being attempted as well as an illustration of the main approaches of the international literature regarding the research of the phenomenon of corruption. As corruption is a complex and often difficult to define phenomenon, the main definitions that have been used internationally, the causal factors, the consequences as well as the essential differences between perceived and real levels of corruption are being analyzed. In the next stage, the multifaceted measures to combat the phenomenon of corruption are examined. Special emphasis is given to the –often ignored– relationship between organized crime, money laundering, international financial relations and corruption.

description:
This is a multi-purpose book aiming at a diverse audience. It is possible to read it in a non-linear fashion based on the needs of the individual reader. Initially it has been written for the students of the Inter-University Interdepartmental Master's Degree Programme "Higher Education Policy: Theory and Praxis" (MaHep) of the Dpts. of Educational Sciences and Social Work (University of Patras), Primary Education (University of the Aegean) and Social and Educational Policy (University of Peloponnese) (https://mahep-upatras.gr). Therefore, its organization follow the structure and development of the specific postgraduate programme of studies (MaHep). However, it is hoped that it will also be useful: a) to employees of the specialized bodies in Greek universities dealing with strategic planning and quality assurance, b) to other bodies and institutions that would like to systematize or implement methods of strategic planning and quality assurance, c) to students, junior and senior researchers and those involved in the preparation of (competitive or non-competitive) project proposals.
It consists of two parts. The first part deals with strategic planning (Chapter 1), quality assurance and evaluation (Chapter 2) and the tools used for both strategic planning and quality assurance/evaluation implementation (Chapter 3). The second part relates to the writing of proposals for academic, research or training purposes for personal interest or in the context of a competitive proposals in Greece and/or abroad (Chapter 4).
Chapter 5 focuses on the importance of monitoring an approved proposal in the phase of implementation. Chapter 6 discusses the types of project evaluation and the role of evaluators. Chapter 7, initially, refers to the framework of the development of a European Research Area (ERA) and the corresponding Greek legal framework in order to enable the interested parties understand and follow the relevant research context. Finally, it informs about several, indicative, funding bodies pertaining to research or educational projects.
The connecting link between the two parts of the book is the idea that both the work of strategic planning and quality assurance may be understood as a 'project' to be implemented whether funded (as is seasonally the case with the development and consolidation of the relevant bodies of Greek universities -MODIP in Greek) or not. Therefore, the reader who is primarily interested in the first part is invited to read at least Chapters 5 and 6 to gain important information and knowledge.

description: This book by Ingo Gildenhard, Professor of Classics at King’s College, University of Cambridge, is an excellent annotated edition of Book 4.1-299 of Vergil’s Aeneid, the ‘national’ epic of the Romans and one of the greatest works of world literature. Book 4 of the Aeneid is by far the most well-known and popular among the books of the epic. It recounts the story of Aeneas’ and the Trojans’ stay in Carthage, as well as the love affair between the Trojan hero (and progenitor of the Roman people) and the queen of Carthage, Dido. With intelligent and engaging writing and thanks to the excellent use of bibliography, this book is an excellent study of Aeneid Book 4, which occupies a central place in the epic poem, as it constantly refers back to what preceded  in the previous books, while preparing the ground for what ensues. In the Preface, the author explains the structure and organization of the book in detail. This is followed by the Latin Text and then Study Questions for each individual section of the text. The main body of the book is a detailed Commentary, which covers in full issues of language and translation, style, literary technique, intertextuality and historical context, among other topics. The Commentary is accompanied by four Interpretive Essays (1. Content and Form, 2. Historiographical Dido, 3. Allusion, 4. Religion) that cover not only Book 4 but the entire Aeneid.

description: This electronic textbook deals with specialized translation as a form of intercultural communication. It attempts to link specialized translation with the cultural elements of the language and culture concerned, placing them in the broader context of globalization. It emphasizes the fact that the rapid developments brought about by globalization in many areas and the attempts to impose uniformity on specialized texts will not be able to eliminate the cultural elements of the target languages. These will continue to be present in the communicational and economic policies of those involved in the field of specialized translation. The textbook starts with a historical account of the emergence and evolution of specialized language, followed by a description of contemporary specialized translation and communication. A thorough examination of modern specialized language isthen be attempted, explaining the ways in which specialized language has been shaped and the linguistic influences it has been subjected to up to the modern era. The main specialized languages prevalent in the field of specialized communication isdiscussed, providing linguistic and cultural evidence that clarifies the development of the specialized languages under consideration. Finally, a presentation of specialized translation in the context of interlingual and intercultural communication isbe given, citing various views on the formation of certain specialized texts with reference to the phenomenon of localization and the use of controlled language.

description: A Cyber-Physical System (CPS) consists of multiple computing devices which communicate between them as well as with the physical world through sensor and actuators in a closed-loop form. The aim of this book is to describe the concept of cyber-physical systems with emphasis on the modelling, design and analysis of modern systems given in the form of a cyber-physical system. The book contains multiple examples of cyber-physical systems from the areas of robotics, sensor networks and smart grids to assist in the understanding of the cyber-physical systems concept. First, continuous-time dynamic systems are analysed, including methods for control design and stability analysis, which are used to model the physical layer as well as its interaction with the cyber layer. Then, the concept of networked systems is presented, which are analysed through matrix and algebraic graph theory. Discrete systems are consequently presented using state machines (finite state machines, extended state machines, non-deterministic machines); these systems are then combined with the continuous-time dynamic systems to form the hybrid systems, which consist of a composition of continuous and discrete dynamics, as commonly found in cyber-physical systems. Finally, since the design of cyber-physical systems requires suitable selection of the components that are necessary for the interaction between the physical and the cyber layers, this book briefly presents the main individual components that are used to design a cyber-physical system (sensors, actuators, embedded microprocessors, memory architecture and input/output units).

description:
This book will be useful to postgraduate students in business schools who are interested in research methodology  that is currently used in academia and managerial contexts. Research Methodology in Business Administration serves as an introduction to the philosophy and principals of scientific research. It also provides students with essential guidance on how to design and carry out their own research projects. It presents step by step, in a clear and comprehensive way, the complete research process, from the formulation of research questions and hypotheses to writing and presenting findings. It also covers to some extend philosophical and ethical issues that researchers need to  considere As the primary target audience of the book is business school students, examples are derived from a range of subject areas, such as marketing, business strategy and human resources management. Although the book adopts an academic perspective, a secondary audience that may benefit from it are business executives employed in the respective departments. They use research findings to make informed decisions and/or they deal with questions that require empirical data to be answered. Understanding the principles of academic research enables them to better design and implement efficiently commercial business research. Areas of business management research such as accounting, financial management, economics and operational research are not included. These are self-contained fields with different approaches, methods and techniques.
Most students and business practitioners will choose this book because they need to complete a research project of their own. This is the main goal of the book; to help them with their research. Apart from that, the book also aims  to the cultivation of readers’ critical thinking, which is a valuable tool, and a valuable soft skill.

In this book, we present in detail, the basic principles of the theory of Electric Circuits, at a theoretical level, as well as at the level of experimental implementation in the laboratory. Its main aim is to enable the readers to understand the operation of simple but also more complex electric circuits, to learn to implement them in the laboratory and to study their behavior. This book also presents in detail, the operation of useful, in many applications, electric circuits, their theoretical study, as well as the comparison of their results with those obtained experimentally. This comparison helps the reader to understand better their function and allows a better study of them.
Furthermore, this book presents circuits and measurement procedures that can be implemented using the free online circuit simulation software MultisimLive. The use of this software aims to give the reader the possibility of first contact with how he can, before implementing an electric circuit in the laboratory, design and study it at a simulation level, using simple and free online simulation software. Circuits designed in MultisimLive are presented in the form of exercises, in which the reader is guided step by step to perform the circuit design and measurements. In addition, at the end of each chapter a section that includes a series of unsolved exercises, for the reader to check the possibility of assimilating the material offered, is cited.

description: The book includes basic elements of Biology and Genetics presented in a way that makes it easier for engineers and other disciplines that do not have the basic biological knowledge to understand the basics and to be introduced to areas such as cell factory, omics technologies (genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, lipidomics), high throughput technologies etc. The concept of Systems Biology is presented and the elements that differentiate it from classical biology are highlighted, such as the quantified study of bioprocesses as integrated systems and the need for its support from bioinformatics and omics technologies. The systemic approach of organisms, cells and the entire biological structure (metabolic networks, protein synthesis, transcriptional process etc.) highlights the relationships that govern its elements and the need for their mathematical formulation that allows the possibility of predicting functions and designing new ones. In addition, the techniques and methods used in the Systemic study of biological systems such as the bioinformatics tools, as well as the modelling methods of cellular function are presented with specific examples. Finally, new applications based on systemic approaches are described and define the concept of "Systemic Biotechnology". The fundamental role of Metabolic Engineering in the development of Systemic and Synthetic Biology is also presented. Synthetic Biology (SB) and how it arose from the development of the systemic approach to biological systems is also described. The connection of Biology with Engineering and the rational management of the cell and mechanisms through the control of the flow of genetic information are attempted. Concepts such as the synthesis of "new life" from simple "biological spare parts", what these are, what is meant by "orthogenicity" of cellular functions, "minimal cell" and "cellular chassis" are analyzed. Finally, the development of "Synthetic Biotechnology" is described with examples in areas from health and food to the environment.

description: Cosmology is the study of the structure and the evolution of the Universe in large scale. This book covers the topic of Cosmology via three main directions. 1) The main astronomical observations that shaped our understanding of Cosmology and lead to the model of the expanding universe are discussed. Then, a Newtonian approach is presented. This is followed by a brief introduction in the concept of curvature, so that, through General Relativity, the equations governing the evolution the universe depending on its content are introduced. The main definitions of distances used in Cosmology are also presented in this context. 2) Next, we follow the evolutions of the Universe starting from its first stages, the decoupling of fundamental forces, the synthesis of the first element and the emission of the Cosmic Background Radiation reaching the dark ages and the reionisation epoch. The physical mechanisms interpreting these phenomena are studied. 3) We complete our study exploring the Standard Model of Cosmology and its challenges. We examine possible answers to open Cosmology problems. Furthermore, topics related to dark matter and gravitational lensing are presented and some cosmological problems that can be solved numerically are discussed.

description:
This book presents in a complete and thorough way the issue of plastics recycling, emphasizing the variety of products that can be derived from it. Initially, quantitative and qualitative characteristics of plastic waste are given, together with the main types of polymers in plastic waste and the necessity of recycling plastics as well as the problems that make it difficult to recycle them on a large scale. Then, methods are developed for sorting different types of polymers from a mixture of plastic waste, such as manual sorting, flotation, the use of near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy etc.
The main body of the book includes an extensive description of the various methods that have been proposed for recycling plastics. In particular, mechanical recycling methods such as melting/reforming and selective dissolution/reprecipitation are described. Comprehensive examples of mechanical recycling of various types of plastics, such as PET and PVC, are given. Subsequently, a detailed description is given of the chemical recycling of plastics with an emphasis on the three major categories of polymers, i.e. polyesters (PET, PC, PLA), polyamides (Nylon) and polyurethanes and the products obtained depending on the process followed. The methods of thermo-chemical recycling of plastics are developed with special emphasis on pyrolysis and catalytic pyrolysis of various polymers (such as polyethylene, polypropylene etc.) and briefly on gasification and hydro-pyrolysis. The recovery of energy from plastic waste is also presented by combustion/incineration technologies and the potential environmental issues raised by the emission of hazardous substances. Finally, integrated methods of recycling various categories of plastic waste are presented, such as packaging materials, waste electrical and electronic equipment, and end-of-life vehicles, including tires. Reference is made to topics of particular environmental interest today, such as microplastics, single-use plastics, the existence of high-risk compounds in plastic waste, the recycling of multilayer films etc., in order to highlight the contribution of plastic recycling to the transition from linear to the circular economy.

description: The main objective of this textbook is to acquaint undergraduate and postgraduate students of linguistics with the theoretical model of Optimality Theory, broadly known as OT. It is a model of phonological analysis originally proposed by Prince and Smolensky within the framework of Generative Linguistics (Chomsky, 1957) in an extensive scientific report circulated in 1993. The present book consists of eight chapters and is structured as follows: Chapter 1 presents the basic concepts and principles of OT and develops in detail an example of phonological analysis couched within the OT framework. Chapter 2 focuses on three important problems that have attracted and continue to attract the interest of phonological research and the answers / solutions offered by OT. Chapter 3 examines how OT analyzes phonological contrasts, allophonic relations and neutralization processes through the reordering of markedness and faithfulness constraints. Chapters 4 and 5 deal with processes that lie at the heart of phonology-morphology interface. More specifically, Chapter 4 presents the constraints of Generalized Alignment and examines their role in infixation and templatic morphology, whereas Chapter 5 explores how reduplicative processes are analyzed within OT. The subject matter of Chapter 6 is language acquisition from the perspective of OT. Since children’s productions at the beginning of acquisition are characterized by unmarked sounds and structures, the ranking of faithfulness and markedness constraints in such early grammars should be MARKEDNESS ≫ FAITHFULNESS. However, children’s grammars evolve via constraint re-ordering, so that gradually more complex structures emerge. Each reordering corresponds to intermediate grammars which together form the developmental path that young speakers follow in order to acquire their target language. Chapter 7 focuses on the analysis of phenomena of phonological variation (e.g., τρέχουν vs. τρέχουνε ‘they run’) and gradience (e.g., the cluster φτ [ft] is preferred over φθ [fθ]), as they emerge from experimental research and/or data corpora. The focus of Chapter 8 is on stochastic aspects of OT, such as Stochastic OT and two stochastic versions of Harmonic Grammar, namely Noisy Harmonic Grammar and the Maximum Entropy Model.

description: In this book, an attempt has been made to present and study in detail, the content of the theory of signals and systems in the logic of the "physics of things", in terms of physics that describe their operation. This approach requires the systematic way of introducing definitions and concepts for the essential understanding of natural principles and laws with the aim of avoiding frequent and important misunderstandings. Specifically, the basic concepts and principles of signals and systems that an undergraduate and/or graduate student should know are presented and their key importance in the correct processing of experimental data and the drawing of correct conclusions, in every scientific field, is explained in detail. In addition, the signals as well as the operation of the systems in the field of frequency and time are analyzed in detail, while the implementation of the relevant simulation methods through programming codes, presented in the chapters of the book, is of interest. In this way, the reader is given the opportunity to understand the theory and the appropriate procedures for the study of signals, as well as in the analysis and synthesis of systems, continuous or discrete time. In each chapter the theory is presented and analyzed, the relevant codes in Matlab which are necessary for the simulations, while several examples are solved analytically with the aim of understanding the applications related to the study of real signals. The citation of the appropriate examples as well as the analytical way of solving them aims to arouse the interest of the student and lead to the consolidation of the theory and the understanding of the design of the simulation codes which can also be implemented in the laboratory. Signals and systems are inextricably linked to applications in Physics and the Positive Sciences, while the relevant conclusions and resulting equations highlight their decisive contribution to drawing correct conclusions through experimentation.

description: This book deals with the oeuvre of  Sappho and Alcaeus, who composed mainly monodic poetry. These two great poets from Lesbos, inheritors of a rich tradition of poetry and music, lived at about the same time (late 6th century, early 5th century BC).  While Alcaeus' poetry was dictated primarily by his politically turbulent surroundings, Sappho's poems were the fruit of her reflections on human relationships, the interaction with the divine, primarily with Aphrodite, and the problems that preoccupied both her audience and her wider social environment.  The Introduction of this book begins with a general presentation of Early Greek Lyric Poetry and then focuses on the poetry of Alcaeus and Sappho, with particular emphasis on the historical and political context in which they acted and composed their songs, and on their audiences.  Chapter 2 deals with the language, the Aeolian dialect, as well as with the metres and the versification of their poetry.  At Chapters 3-12  a big part of the surviving fragments from the Odes of Sappho and Alcaeus which are categorized according to their subject, is presented, translated, analyzed and interpreted . The first chapters  examine fragments with a common theme, such as prayer and hymn, erotic desire and the influence of Aphrodite and Eros, politics and invective, and old age, while  the last chapters discuss themes that appear only in Alcaeus' poetry or only in Sappho's: The drinking songs (Alcaeus), Sappho's wedding songs and the poetess's odes on the sorrow of separation from the Sapphic circle. The fragments are approached not only as literary texts but also as compositions reflecting the early Greek society and its institutions.

description: The aim of the electronic textbook entitled “The practice of Translation” is to present to the reader and especially to the students the practice of translation and all the details concerning the stages of the translational action, from the moment the translation of a source-text is commissioned to the moment of final checking and delivery of the target-text. Although ‘practice-oriented’ in the sense that it presents, analyses, and comments on translating this online textbook documents and explains the description of the stages of the translational action concerning theoretical models or, better still, theoretical approaches, seeking to demonstrate that translating is an intentional, conscious process which requires that the translator is aware of what (s)he is doing, how and why (s)he e is doing it each time (s)he engages in mediating between two languages and cultures.

description: The modern design engineer now relies on new CAD/CAM/CAE systems on a daily basis to develop, optimise and produce products. In these processes, Parametric Design plays a crucial role, since it is through it that the geometric model of the product is produced, which is essential in the design cycle. Parametric Design has evolved to such an extent that it has even changed the way engineers are trained in universities. Nowadays, emphasis is placed on educating young engineers on issues related to the design process, interaction with software and the efficient use and utilization of the available functionality. The aim of the book is to present the fundamental principles of Parametric Design, which are incorporated in the respective CAD/CAM/CAE software. The aim of the text is not to educate its readers on a specific software, but to explain concepts that will help them to understand in depth how the respective systems work. Modern Parametric Design software has converged to a very large extent and, therefore, if the user is properly trained, he/she can use any related software successfully without an increased need for further training. An understanding of the theoretical background will greatly assist students or graduates to understand the functions of these systems better, faster and more efficiently. The fundamental knowledge, which the readers will acquire, will also help in solving specialized problems both in the context of their studies, e.g. in the preparation of a thesis, and on a professional level, as they will have flexibility and will be able, with less time and training costs, to master the offered functions of modern systems to an advanced degree. The book focuses on the 'why' rather than the 'how' and can therefore be included in the knowledge 'baggage' of those who choose to enter the field of research in universities or industry.

description: In this book, the research sector of Molecular Modeling is defined and its contribution to experimental chemistry is extensively analyzed (Chapter 1). Moreover, the importance of computational analysis in the Rational Drug Design of novel compounds is described, as well as its role in complementing the experimental results (Chapter 3). In particular, the contribution of Molecular Dynamics, Extended analysis, Energy Minimization (Chapter 4), and Monte Carlo methods (Chapter 8) to the drug design process is thoroughly discussed. Quantum (Chapter 6) and Molecular mechanical approaches (Chapter 8) are analyzed for the energy calculation and the conformational search of chemical compounds. Furthermore, the forces that govern the interactions of the pharmaceutical molecules with their macromolecule targets are discussed. In the same chapter, the developing algorithms which are used to describe molecular binding are illustrated (Chapter 7). Peptidomimetics is a separate chapter because of its major importance in synthesizing and designing new pharmaceutical molecules. The main example in the history of peptidomimetics resides in the renin-angiotensin system (Chapter 5). In addition, the book includes a specific chapter for the molecular modeling of lipid bilayers and transmembrane receptors, since they act as potent targets for a variety of different drugs (Chapters 2 & 9). Finally, Chapter 10 illustrates some general examples and future insights for the Molecular Modeling research sector. The chapters are accompanied by many questions, exercises, and tests, so the students can understand computational chemistry concepts. Answers are also offered for some of the questions, to aid the students understand the studying material of each chapter. We are sure that the adequate number of questions, examples, and exercises is quite helpful for both the professors and the students in understanding the concepts of Computational Chemistry and Molecular Modeling.

description: Epidemiology is the basis of research in Health Sciences. In this book, the basic principles and the methodology of epidemiological research are presented. Epidemiological studies rely on statistics, employing often complex tests. The complexity of statistics used in Epidemiology works deterrently for many health scientists, who usually avoid the burden of statistical analysis. The aim of this book is to help understand and perform statistical analysis, without the use of mathematical calculations on paper. Instead, practical applications in SPSS and Stata are presented, because the volume of data in medical sciences makes any paper calculations impractical. This book begins with basic epidemiological applications such as data presentation, basic epidemiological rates, comparing continuous and categorical variables, simple linear regression, and strata analysis. In the second part, the statistics of cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies are presented, also focusing on survival analysis and logistic regression. Finally, a chapter on strategies of analysis and presentation of results for publication concludes the book. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction of the topics covered. Then a step-by-step approach in SPPS and Stata is presented and after the examples, there are review exercises for the reader, who can use any statistical package he wishes.

description: There are many reasons for teaching mathematics from an early age, related to the important role mathematics plays in modern society, the fact that children from a very young age have the ability, potential, and interest to learn mathematics, and the fact that they possess early informal mathematical knowledge. While this early knowledge can lay the foundations for learning formal mathematics, it can also have a negative impact on school performance due to its diversity (e.g., informal knowledge at different levels).In order to bridge the gap in early informal mathematical knowledge among young children and reduce the risk of learning difficulties in formal mathematics education at higher levels, it is recommended that teachers use conscious teaching practices and designed teaching interventions that support quality mathematics education. In this context, the exploratory approach, as an innovative pedagogical practice for teaching mathematics, proposes the construction of knowledge through collaboration, communication, and reasoning, emphasizing not only the cultivation of the cognitive domain and the acquisition of mathematical knowledge, but also the social and communicative domain, resulting in the cultivation of a variety of abilities and skills necessary for students in the present and in the future, for their role as active, conscious, and intelligent citizens. The need to support prospective and current teachers in meeting the above "requirements" led to the writing of this book. This book presents and discusses theoretical, research, and educational issues necessary for the search, design, selection, evaluation, and preparation for use of materials and activities with the aim of approaching basic topics in early school mathematics (numbers and operations, patterns, space, plane shapes and geometric solids, length, area, statistics, and probability) through an investigative approach.

description: Because of the pandemic, the educational community experienced all of a sudden, a different approach to teaching. It is clear that we are not likely to return to the world we knew before the pandemic. Many people think about the need to renew education, based mainly on the knowledge and opportunities that online communication has brought forth. However, in order not to exacerbate the inequalities that have emerged in the pandemic era, any renewal must safeguard the right to education for all; especially with respect to distance education, which is a form with particular features, and which requires the commitment of the teacher and the student in adapting to new communication prospects. Subsequently, we reevaluate not technology, as we are used to in the recent decades, but education itself as a process of transmission and acquisition of knowledge, experience, and skills. We may say that we are faced with reconsidering what "instructional design" means and more generally what "teaching and learning" means in these new communication environments, which have appeared for so many years now but only recently, due to the pandemic, have become known to the majority of the educational community. And as it has been the case in all periods of human history, it is up to us, the teachers, to either concentrate on our students, preparing them for this new field of educational change, or let them simply follow an evolution progress that others will create. It is certain that through the pages of this book, every aspect of education with digital tools or distance education cannot be covered, but it can contribute to preparing the teacher to use digital technology in the classroom as well as in the distance education process.

description: This book examines theoretical and applied terminology issues in the light of the translation process. In particular, it aims at introducing students to the basic principles of terminological science and its different applications in translation practice. This subject field, being interdisciplinary by nature, as it combines linguistics, translation, language technology as well as various other subject fields through the study of their terminology, has been an independent subject field for more than five decades. In today’s globalised and constantly changing technological environment, the need for appropriate multilingual communication makes the role of terminology even more crucial and directly related to translation studies. The book is structured in ten chapters, in which key issues related to terminology are studied. The discussion focuses inter alia on special languages and their particular characteristics, basic theoretical principles of terminology, the place of terminology in translation, terminology management, terminology products and data, as well as terminology management tools. Special emphasis is placed on language technologies that support terminological work in translation, such as termbases, terminological mining tools or corpus management tools, etc. Then the cases of specific types of texts, such as for example legal, medical, financial or EU texts, are studied and the particularities presented from a terminological point of view are analysed. The study is supported by extensive use of examples and authentic texts in various language pairs.

description: The book entitled “Environment and Sustainable Development” examines the concept of sustainable development focusing on the environmental dimension, illustrating the role of sustainability in crucial environmental sectors. Sustainable development has been a dominant concept in the scientific community for more than thirty years, but still remains current: evolving, redefining, and readjusting its goals. The turn towards sustainability is a modern solution promoted in the international policy level in order to address environmental problems. Issues that have historically been of great concern to the international community in the struggle for environmental protection are investigated in the book and the readers are introduced to the concept of sustainability and its three pillars. Sustainability is examined in relation to natural resources, as well as to the primary sector of production. Tools for measuring sustainable development are presented, with particular reference to sustainable development indicators, while the impact of the role of scale is considered as well. In addition, Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are analyzed, focusing on their implementation in the European Union. The contribution of international organizations in sustainable development policy is investigated, designating the most important institutions that play a central role in the decision making at global level in the fields of environment and sustainable development. The impact of development and consumption on the natural environment and natural resources is analyzed, while the concept of sustainability is investigated in relation to development. Renewable Energy Sources and their importance to the promotion of sustainable development and the fight against climate change are presented. The connection of sustainable development to materials use, waste management, recycling and the impact of pollution are also examined. Furthermore, two special issues of sustainable development are presented: circular economy and corporate social responsibility.

description: The properties and functions of gamification and filmmaking provide a highly creative way of achieving learning objectives. The combination of principles and methods responds to the need for seeking the specificity of the way, in which students form perceptions, acquire and organise knowledge. Through the proposed methodology Serious Film Games (S.FI.GA.), playful actions of understanding are promoted, and subjective, social, moral and political considerations emerge. Insisting on a circuit of exchange between digital and analogue perception, it is studied how they are recorded and function. The planning and production of a short movie through students' wanderings in the world of digital games, is a particularly creative process. It activates students' attention and broadens their perception. The structure of the narrative, the ambiguity and fluidity in the action of characters/heroes  due to interventions in the development of the story, are challenging students' thinking. Τhe manipulation of the theme, the characters, the narrative itself aims at a way of structuring/organizing by studying their links. Students understand causes of action and become actively involved. They come into action within the digital world, they focus on the real world, in which they are getting experience and are actively involved.

description: The book "Spatial Planning: Technical, Legal and Economic Dimensions. Emphasis on mountainous and maritime space" comes to serve two needs: the creation of a learning infrastructure for undergraduate students of TATM AUTh and postgraduate students of Departments of Greek Universities. The aims are to introduce and familiarize students with the basic concepts and theories of development, space, spatial planning and regional development. At the same time, the aims are to present and analyse the existing legal framework for regional development and spatial planning in the EU and Greece. In addition, the aims are to deepen and analyze, from the perspective of spatial planning, two particularly important spatial units for Greece: the mountain and the sea. The book gives an additional distinct approach: the perspective of spatial planning through the dimension of the study of the ownership regime and the institutions of its recording. Ownership as a development parameter and spatial planning is studied both at the international level (with emphasis on mountainous areas but also on the participation of women in land ownership) and in Greece through the longitudinal monitoring of its evolution, considering that it is a timeless development that shaped and still affects today the design and implementation of development initiatives in the different regions of the country. Highlighting the importance of the Cadastre and the Marine Cadastre as necessary tools for Spatial Planning both on land and at sea, respectively, offers another parameter that is usually ignored but is vital at a global level and in Greece. Finally, the analysis of the concept of the environmental and cultural economy as a tool for regional development forms another aspect that needs to be highlighted.

description: The knee joint is a particularly complicated area, and it presents the most frequent pathology than any other area of the musculoskeletal system. The pathology of the knee concerns both a younger population that engages in sports activities, as well as an older population that presents degenerative changes of the type of osteoarthritis in their knee. In fact, knee osteoarthritis surgeries are the most common types of surgical procedures in the population of the elderly, that is people over 65 years of age. The pathology of the knee is directly related to the particularities of the anatomy. The present textbook aims to cover all aspects of the anatomy of the knee in order to provide the young surgeon with detailed anatomical knowledge and knowledge in order to operate safely and confidently in knee surgery. The aim of this textbook is to cover in detail the superficial anatomy of the knee and the surgical anatomy of the bones, menisci, ligaments and muscles, which are responsible for the movement of the studied joint. The peculiarities of blood supply and innervation of the anatomical structures of particular surgical interest, such as the ligaments and menisci of the knee, will also be presented. In addition, this textbook will deal with the imaging anatomy of the knee in all imaging methods, i.e. simple X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI. The arthroscopic anatomy of the knee, the access portals as well as the surgical access of the area depending on the pathology of the joint are also presented. The textbook will also cover the kinematics and biomechanics of the knee with particular emphasis on the patellofemoral joint. Finally, this textbook will deal with the clinical examination and the clinical tests which highlight the various pathological entities of the knee.

description: The book starts with the notions of law and justice in Homeric society, and comtinues with  the origins of written law, focusing on the motives and purposes that led to the creation of the first written laws, and to the terms used for legal norms. The chapter on the law of Sparta studies the Lycurgan legislation, the established authorities, the categories of status (citizens, perioikoi, hilots and slaves), the administration of justice and the provisions of civil law. The study of the law of Gortyn focuses on magistrates and other authorities, personal status, inheritance, administration of justice and torts. The following chapters  examine thoroughly the law of classical Athens, starting with the evolution of law-making from the first legislators to the legislative activity of the Assembly and to the establishment of a new procedure in 403/2, as well as the graphe paranomon. As fae asthe administration of justice is concerned, the focus is on the stages of procedure at the courts of Heliaia, on the limited capacity of other boards, and on the procedure of arbitration.After that personal status (citizens, women, aliens, metics, slaves), family law (marriage, dowry, parent-child relations, adoption and guardianship), are analysed as well as theinheritance (intestate and testamentary succession). The analysis of the law of property refers to the different categories of property, to the ways of acquisition, and to the restrictions on property, whereas the part on the law of transactions focuses on sale, lease, and loan. The next chapters examine the law of homicide (procedures, different categories of homicide), and the laws concerning crimes and torts against personality, family, and property). The final chapter studies the control of magistrates (before, during and after tenure), political crime (laws on treason, tyranny, subversion of the regime, and procedures in court).

description:
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder with elevated blood glucose levels. It is one of the most challenging health issues affecting approximately 450 million people worldwide and this number is estimated to increase to 693 million by 2045. The cost of managing diabetes in the US exceeds $322 billion each year with emergency room visits due to the complications of diabetes.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for people with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common cause of new cases of blindness in adults aged 20-74 years in developed countries. Diabetic chronic kidney disease is the 16th leading cause of loss of life worldwide.
The aim of this publication is the possibility of a holistic approach to the Diabetic Disease by students, doctors, researchers and health professionals, based on a documented review of the most recent literature, with an analysis of the mechanisms of the pathogenesis and complications of diabetes, with familiarity with modern diagnostic control methods, information on the therapeutic approaches of the future, and emphasis on the importance of diabetes prevention. It is striking how much money is currently being spent on treating diabetes, which is driving the costs of care for National Health Systems sky high, and how little benefit is actually flowing to the users. This difference demonstrates a set of problems to be investigated, the main one being the lack of prevention programs. Micro- and nano-technologies have provided solutions to limit painful conventional insulin therapy. Although tele-medicine today incorporates parameters extremely helpful in the management of diabetes, such as two-way video, smartphones, tablets, wireless monitors supported by real-time algorithms, however, a small percentage of patients enjoy these benefits who have the skills and financial ability to access them.
Therefore, national health systems must prioritize the provision of patient-centred care.

The first four chapters present the general concepts of strategy and sustainable competitive advantage, combined with the strategic analysis of the firm and its environment. The importance of developing a clear vision and mission statement, with an emphasis on the importance of translating these into specific and objective performance objectives that will reflect management's performance expectations, industry competitive conditions and the capabilities of the company's internal environment; forms the basis of the current situation analysis. Then, the concepts and tools of the assessment of the external environment are presented first, to investigate and evaluate the possible opportunities and threats in the company's environment. At the same time, then the resources and capabilities that exist within the company are analysed and evaluated. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the strategic capabilities that can be developed and create the basis of its competitive advantage.
The following five chapters focus on the formulation and selection of the appropriate strategy, presenting and evaluating the competition strategies, the development strategies, the strategies in the global environment, the innovation strategy, and the ways of implementing the above strategies. The next chapter focuses on the choice of strategy and its implementation processes, while the last chapter is connected to all the previous ones and emphasizes the concept, theories, and measurement of competitiveness while presenting a large number of research results.

description:
This e-textbook consists of twelve studies that focus on the study of the Heavens by philosophers and mathematicians during Greek antiquity. The historical period they cover is extensive, from the 4th century BC until the end of Greek antiquity. Their ambition is to bring to light circumstances, in which tension is manifested between the branches of knowledge, and the importance of the demarcation of science and philosophy emerges. The way the issues are raised at these critical junctures, the "questions" that arise and the solutions that are given are enlightening for the understanding of ancient Greek thought.

The book can be divided into two parts. The first part refers to the way in which Plato and Aristotle dealt with the phenomena of the heavens - mainly in their works Timaeus and De Caelo respectively. Plato connected philosophy with mathematics and considered astronomy a useful mathematical science for philosophy. Aristotle instead tried to separate the philosophical approach to ουρανός from the mathematical one. The second part examines the corresponding problems in the years of the great development of Greek science, that is, in the Hellenistic and the Roman period. The phenomena of the Heavens primarily concern astronomers, proposing bold and effective mathematical theories, but they are also a field of serious reflection for natural philosophers. Both seek to "save the phenomena", but they do so in a different way and with a different method. This controversy persists until the time of Copernicus.

description:
The current linear economic model of “take, make, dispose” has led to excessive pressure on the ecosystems, due to the uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources and waste generation. The circular economic model aims to gradually decouple economic growth from the consumption of finite resources and could actively rebuild biodiversity.
In a circular economy, waste doesn’t exist. The products will be reused, again and again, keeping materials circulating for as long as possible. It is a philosophy of reusing, repurposing, regenerating. Natural ecosystems, including the continuous flow of materials, inspire the circular economy. Waste is recycled and brought back into production processes.
The circular economy in the agri-food sector is linked to the "smart" management of biomass, leading to a variety of products (soil improvers, animal feed, biofuels, etc.). The reuse of waste and by-products eliminates environmental pollution and also increases the economic value of the agri-food chain, leading to a "zero waste" society.
Nowadays, “circular” entrepreneurship represents an emerging market with huge potential. The “circular” enterprises go further than the usual sustainable development practices and are associated with economic growth and many opportunities.
The present book aims to analyze the contribution of the circular economy to the agri-food sector. It’s thoroughly researched the concept of circular economy and its applications in agri-food enterprises. The book also studies the "circular" opportunities, the inhibiting factors, and the relevant business models. The book's last part is dedicated to various Greek and global good practices in the agri-food sector.

description: In this textbook it is examined in depth the undeniable relationship between cognitive and motor development and the cognitive processes involved in motor learning. Movement is a main feature of human life considering that through movement a person can explore his/her environment, show self-handling skills, expresses himself/herself through sports, arts or even movement can function as an end in itselfDue to this close interrelation between cognitive and motor development, difficulties or disorders in one area affects the other. The theories that are presented in this course book are approached in order to point out this interrelation and the development of the factors that have an effect in it (e.g. heredity–environment). The presence of difficulties or disorders influences all aspects of development in infants, children, adolescents, and later adults. People that deviate from “normal” are affected more in all aspects of development (cognitive, motor, emotional, social etc.). Motor and cognitive evaluation is valuable for professionals to understand better the weaknesses and the abilities of children, especially in those interrelated developmental components. A dynamic intervention model is suggested that considers the aforementioned relationship. The ultimate objective of this intervention model is the development (enhancement) of both knowledge and experience that will help children to scaffold his/her difficulties in everyday living (e.g. free play, playground etc.). Additionally in this textbook the best practices are presented in Developmental and Adapted Physical Education. Several activities are proposed and their aim is not exclusively the motor development but also the cognitive as the child is studied as a whole.

description: Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome, which is characterized by impairment of heart function with progressive worsening of symptoms. HF is classified according to the time of its onset and the location of the lesion. Early diagnosis is a key factor for initiating treatment, slowing disease progression, reducing readmissions and improving quality of life. Treatment for HF is pharmacological and non-pharmacological and depends on the type and stage of the disease. Information and education allow each patient with HF to form a complete picture of the health state and, in general, to deepen their understanding of the disease and the required skills to maintain autonomy in everyday life. Self-care is the most basic aspect of treating patients with HF and consists of two interrelated parts: self-care maintenance and self-care management. Patients with HF must be adherent with medication, dietary recommendations, regular physical exercise and frequent reassessment as well as to manage worsening of their symptoms. Patients with HF experience mental disorders, mainly anxiety and depression, which require diagnosis and treatment. Improving quality of life is the ultimate goal in the management of HF.

description:
The book aims at familiarizing the reader (post graduate student in computer science or engineering) with significant areas of computational intelligence. Emphasis is put both on the theoretical mathematical background of fuzzy logic and design and training algorithms, as well as on a thorough description of main applications. In the first chapters the fundamentals of fuzzy logic are presented and the structure and operation of fuzzy rules and approximate reasoning are analyzed. The classical fuzzy system and its structure (fuzzifier, defuzzifier, rule base, inference engine) are studied. The design process of PIS, MIS, Takagi-Sugeno-Kang, fuzzy neural networks is given and the most prominent structure and parameter identification algorithms are examined, while genetic FRBCS are also described.
Recurrent fuzzy models and recurrent neural networks are introduced, along with dedicated learning techniques.
As far as real-world applications are concerned, the problems of sound processing, electric load forecasting, real-time separation of lung sounds and mining of telecommunications data are studied, while emphasis is also put on classification and automatic control.
The book concludes with the issue of fuzzy deep learning and a series of deep fuzzy structures is discussed.
Numerous models and algorithms have been implemented in MATLAB/Octave, such that the reader becomes familiar with scientific programming.

description: The textbook presents the clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the severely ill or seriously injured child and adolescent in the light of current guidelines (best practice). The most prevalent problems of Emergency Pediatrics and Intensive Care of children hospitalized in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are analyzed in a simple and comprehensive manner. The textbook constitutes a bridge between the extensive scientific literature and the modern needs of doctors and nurses in problems that require immediate and logarithmic structural approach. The present textbook aspires to inform and equip the undergraduate and the postgraduate student, the doctor and the nurse, with the knowledge of initial assessment, resuscitation, reassessment and emergency treatment of children with critical illness or severe trauma. The cases presented are taken from the emergency department, the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), health centers, wards and operative rooms. The individual chapters include the assessment of the pediatric patient and the algorithmic diagnostic and therapeutic approach, which follow the paths of appropriate information systems of the "expert system" type equipped with knowledge of decision reaching techniques (decision trees, machine learning) in Electronic Health Record (EHR) type applications. Indicatively, issues related to the recognition, resuscitation, emergency treatment of life-threatening conditions, the evaluation and treatment of organic deficiencies due to disease or trauma, acid-base balance disorders, mechanical support of breathing, dialysis, systematic monitoring of vital functions and more are analyzed. More specific issues related to human factors, communication in the ICU, and bioethics, are also presented. The textbook is a distillation of long experience of the authors in basic and specialized life support in combination with the implementation of best practices based on current guidelines.

description:
Pulmonary function tests are the main tests used in the daily medical practice of the Respiratory Physician. However, they are also useful for the individual clinician to assess the capacity of the respiratory system. This book aims to be a useful aid for every clinician, and a tool for deepening anyone with a special interest in Respiratory medicine. As the educational gaps in this subject are known, we believe this book will be useful to medical students and young doctors.
In this book, basic elements of respiratory mechanics are described, and then the corresponding chapters analyze the functional tests of the respiratory system, which include spirometry, measurement of diffusing capacity of the lungs, body plethysmography, measurements of respiratory muscles, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. In addition, the utility of pulse oximetry and measured nitric oxide is demonstrated. Finally, reference is made to the tests used to assess respiratory function in children, and the particularities presented in this special population.
The knowledge presented in this book is enriched by the clinical examples and reinforced by the questions at the end of each chapter. And of course, the study can be continued in the recommended books and other related electronic resources.
