description: This book maps the multiple relationships between cultural spaces—focusing on museums—and digitalization, emphasizing new media, applications, and tools utilized in the cultural sector. At the same time, it examines the concept of culture as an essential social good, highlighting its role in society. Within this framework, related fields are explored, such as digital museology, which involves using digital technologies in museums. Case studies and best practices are also presented, showcasing efforts in the promotion, preservation, documentation, and—most importantly—accessibility of cultural heritage treasures in an inclusive, meaningful, and engaging manner. Interdisciplinarity is a common characteristic of all the research fields, methodologies, and practices examined. Developing cutting-edge applications in the cultural sector requires collaboration between experts from various disciplines, including museologists, educators (focusing on museum education and art education), computer scientists, and specialists from related fields. The book’s structure follows and expands upon the core aspects of the interdisciplinary framework for the promotion and advancement of culture in an era of rapid technological changes. It explores the impact of new media and digital networks on the reception and dissemination of cultural information, with particular emphasis on the evolving ways in which audiences seek and process knowledge. A significant part of cultural interaction now occurs through technologies such as smartphones in everyday life and emerging technologies like virtual and mixed reality—topics thoroughly analyzed in the corresponding sections. This book aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the complex yet fascinating field where culture -and particularly spaces dedicated to its promotion and preservation, such as museums- intersects with technological advancements. The main objective of this book is to highlight ways to make the public’s engagement with art and cultural heritage meaningful, enjoyable, and inclusive. Special emphasis is placed on tailoring the experience to the needs, interests, and cognitive backgrounds of both users of digital cultural applications and visitors to museums and galleries.

description:
This book offers a psycholinguistic approach to child language disorders. Based on data from Clinical Linguistics and Psycholinguistics, it discusses topics in typical and atypical language development. The book starts with an introduction to Clinical Linguistics followed by a discussion of the main characteristics of some disorders. The next three chapters focus on language difficulties associated with vocabulary, speech processing and phonological awareness. Evidence of the relationship between language difficulties, reading difficulties, and psychosocial difficulties is then presented. The closing chapter discusses the social dimensions of language disorders. Through this structure, the book adopts a broad psycholinguistic approach to language and communication difficulties, which considers not only the child’s strengths, difficulties and overall development but also linguistic interactions and communication in the child’s environment.
The book is addressed to students and researchers with an interest in Linguistics and Clinical Linguistics. At the same time, because of its interdisciplinary nature and the themes covered, it is also addressed to students of other disciplines, such as Health Sciences, Education and Child Development, and Psychology.
As this is intended to be an open-access book dealing with a topic that directly or indirectly appeals to the broader society, it is hoped that eventually, it will also be of interest to parents, educators, and people with a genuine interest and a desire to find out more about some aspects of child language development and disorders.

description: This book is intended for somewhat advanced undergraduate students of mathematics and physics, as well as for corresponding graduate students. The main topic is the theory of differential manifolds and Riemann manifolds. An effort has been made to present the concepts in a simple way and using examples that are useful to mathematicians and physicists. First, some basic concepts (tangent vector, vector field, differential form) are presented in Euclidean space R^n, in a way that makes it easy and natural to generalize them to the manifolds that follow. The theory of differential (smooth) manifolds is then developed, and before Riemannian manifolds, a reference is made to (k,l)-order tensors. Next, we present the basic points of Lie group theory and immediately apply them to Lie group geometry (left-invariante metrics, curvature, etc.). Finally, as a natural consequence, some elements of the theory of homogeneous spaces (Klein geometry) are presented, i.e., a manifold of the form M = G/K, where G is a Lie group and K is a closed Lie subgroup of G.

description: This book is an introduction to stochastic processes and stochastic models at the undergraduate level. While the emphasis is placed in developing the theory and computational techniques, a number of applications is presented in detail. Two introductory chapters, in discrete and “continuous” probability are included. The emphasis in these chapters is placed on topics and techniques that will be useful in the study of stochastic processes. We begin this study with the simple random walk and discrete time Markov chains. Following what is becoming the standard approach in the literature, a purely probabilistic approach is used in their analysis. However, a whole separate chapter is dedicated to the algebraic treatment, including the fundamental theorem of Perron and Frobenius, because we believe that the interplay between probability and linear algebra, on one hand deepens the understanding of the concepts and, on the other, prepares the student for the computational aspects of the subject. Time reversibility in Markov chains is studied both as a fundamental concept and in terms of its computational implications. The Poisson process and its properties are studied in some depth (for an undergraduate account) whereas continuous time Markov chains are treated with emphasis on the intuitive part of the theory and on applications, in order to maintain the mathematical tools needed at a modest level. The discussion of renewal theory is extensive. It includes precise statements of Blackwell’s Theorem and the Key Renewal Theorem but not its proof. Furthermore, a whole chapter is dedicated to applications of the renewal equation to Risk Theory and mathematical population models. Unfortunately, space and time limitations prevented us from discussing regenerative processes. The presentation of Brownian motion is kept at a mathematically elementary level while the chapter on martingales includes both an elementary and a mathematically more advanced part, adequate for students with the appropriate preparation.

description: This book is aimed at students and young scientists in the field of physical sciences, not to analyse the laws of physics with mathematical equations, but to inform them about the possibilities of technology in the field of Renewable Energy Sources, which can be integrated into the concept of bioclimatic design. Their application in the urban planning will help achieve an improvement of the natural environment, along with a contemporary reduction in energy expenses. It is necessary, therefore, to initially analyse the greenhouse effect, the observed climate change, and the phenomenon of urban heat island, which affect the conditions of thermal comfort for humans. Subsequently, the possibilities offered by bioclimatic architecture to improve the natural environment, both indoors and outdoors, are examined. The existing technologies associated with solar, wind, and geothermal energy, as well as bioenergy for the production of economically viable "green" energy are discussed. Finally, innovative construction materials that help reduce indoor air pollution in buildings, lowering the requirements for their ventilation and purification are also mentioned. Each chapter of the book provides only general information, as each of these topics constitutes a separate subject within the fields of environmental physics and architecture.

description: The writing of the grammar of a natural and in-use language constitutes a scientific endeavor with crucial linguistic-communicative as well as socio-historical parameters, as language, as a diachronic and synchronic carrier of culture, continuously shapes societies and contributes both as a cause and effect to the perpetuation of the identity of nations. The practical accomplishment of drafting this Romanian Grammar was associated with a strong sense of my scientific and teaching responsibility as a native Romanian speaker, as a teacher and academic facing potential students and educators, and generally, those immersed in a beautiful, lively, yet intricate language. The drafting of the proposed Romanian Language Grammar comes to fill the significant gap compared to other languages for which there are many learning aids, with the belief that this will be a significant support for all those taking their first steps in learning the Romanian Language. This book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, and not only, who are learning the Romanian Language, regardless of their level, in order to acquire the corresponding theoretical and practical background. It can be used by both unfamiliar readers and readers with advanced knowledge of the Romanian Language. Teachers, students, learners, and professionals can find in this book the necessary material for learning the Romanian Language.

description: Modern businesses face an environment of implementation of products, services and production factors that results in globalization. In this light, firstly the business activities of internationalization in a globalized world are analyzed. In particular, Marketing managers should not limit their horizon concerning their strategic decisions at their national borders, but also to consider the trends and developments in a globalized environment, and study the effects of international trade and foreign direct investments in their target markets. At the same time, they must investigate the purchasing behavior of consumers in each market, to formulate strategies tailored to local needs of increasingly homogenous markets. These strategies are based on Marketing Information Systems, for both international trends and developments, as well as for future competitors and customers in foreign markets. Then, detailed decisions on marketing planning for business operating internationally are being presented. These decisions concern product strategies, pricing, distribution channels & logistics, and promotional and communication strategies for international markets. Finally, the analysis of the process of strategic planning and programming in International Marketing is being described, through the elaboration of an international strategic marketing plan.

description: This textbook is suitable for Macroeconomics undergraduate courses at introductory (chapters 1-5) and intermediate (chapters 6-9) levels for economics students, as well as for a relevant graduate course (mainly chapters 5-9) for business administration and accounting students. For reasons of comparability to the widely used approaches, the text starts with the conventional models of short-run and long-run macroeconomic equilibrium, IS-LM and AD-AS. Then follows the IS-MP model, where the LM curve is replaced by monetary policy (MP) rules of targeting the real interest rate, as it happens in real Central Bank policies and in contrast to specific monetary targets implied by the LM curve. This approach is complemented with a dynamic version of the AD-AS model, where the AD curve represents the relationship between inflation and aggregate expenditure, and the AS curve is given by an expectations-augmented Phillips curve. In this setting, the short-run and log-run effects of fiscal and monetary policies are thoroughly discussed, and particular attention is given to policy effectiveness in the liquidity trap, that is, when the interest rate hits its lower bound. Finally, the model is extended to the open-economy case. Each chapter includes relevant questions and problems along with their full answers.

description: The book focuses on the numerical simulation of structures using finite element computer software and is aimed at undergraduate students of Civil Engineering Departments in Greece. It includes applications of structural modeling techniques with accompanying examples using the structural analysis software SAP2000. The generic nature of this specific software facilitates its use in academic and research activities in many Civil Engineering Departments in Greece, and elsewhere. It is characterized by significant customization capabilities for the user, facilitating the seamless integration of code provisions and theoretical simulation requirements with the student's process of selecting appropriate parameters, which is not usually feasible in typical commercial structural analysis software. Additionally, the use of comprehensive examples enhances the student's understanding of various theoretical and code-specific requirements, being much more efficient than a purely theory-based teaching approach. The book’s chapters progress from simple to more complex examples, gradually increasing the complexity of both the use of the software and the modeling issues addressed. This approach ensures a smooth and pleasant process of acquiring knowledge related to the numerical simulation and analysis of structures while simultaneously learning how to use a finite element software.

Αντιρατσιστική εκπαίδευση

description:
Οι μεταναστευτικές κινήσεις στο εσωτερικό των χωρών υποδοχής προκαλούν σε πολλούς πολίτες αβεβαιότητα και αγανάκτηση. Αφήνουν να εμφανισθούν αισθήματα απειλής και συγκεχυμένου φόβου. Πολλοί από τους ντόπιους αντιλαμβάνονται τις δημογραφικές αλλαγές ως απειλή και αντιδρούν με εχθρότητα, μίσος, φόβο και βία κατά του «ξένου». Περιπτώσεις μορφών βίας είναι μόνο η κορυφή του παγόβουνου ενός καθημερινού ρατσισμού.
Ο ρατσισμός ως κοσμοθεωρία ξεκινά από τη βασική αρχή ότι οι φυλές και τα έθνη αποτελούν μονάδες με διαφορετικά μεταξύ τους χαρακτηριστικά και ξεχωριστές δυνατότητες ανάπτυξης σε όλους τους τομείς της ζωής. Σύμφωνα με τη θεωρία αυτή οι πολιτισμοί που εμφανίστηκαν στη γη ήταν προϊόντα ιδιαίτερων λαών συγκεκριμένης φυλής και καταστράφηκαν όταν οι λαοί αυτοί υποτάχθηκαν σε αλλόφυλους λαούς ή αναμίχθηκαν με άλλους λαούς. Γι’ αυτό το λόγο η ιστορία της ανθρωπότητας περιγράφεται και ερμηνεύεται μόνον ως ιστορία της άνισης ανάπτυξης κάθε φυλής χωριστά και ως σύγκρουση των φυλών μεταξύ τους.
Είναι σημαντικό για την αντιμετώπιση των καθημερινών μορφών αποκλεισμού, να γινεί ορατή η «λανθάνουσα» εμπλοκή κάθε μέλους της κοινωνίας μας σε μια ιστορία της αποικιοκρατίας, του ρατσισμού, του ναζισμού και της ευρωπαϊκής «ανωτερότητας». Η αντιρατσιστική παιδαγωγική δεν επιδιώκει την εξάλειψη των επιφανειακών συμπτωμάτων, αλλά έχει να κάνει με τις αιτίες και τις ρίζες του ρατσισμού. Αντιρατσιστική εκπαίδευση δεν είναι δυνατή χωρίς την πρόσβαση στη συστημική φύση της ρατσιστικής βίας. Στόχος εκπαιδευτικών προσπαθειών δεν μπορεί να είναι η καταστολή της ατομικής συμπεριφοράς ή η βελτίωσή της, αλλά η απόκτηση γνώσεων σχετικά με τους μηχανισμούς του αποκλεισμού και αυτούς να αλλάξει.

Fundamentals of Evolutionary Biology

keywords:
Evolution
Population Genetics
Molecular Evolution

description: The book addresses the fundamental principles of Evolutionary Biology, specifically tailored for undergraduate teaching. It begins by outlining the objections to the theory of Evolution and the evidence that supports it, presenting Evolution both as a scientific theory and as the unifying theory of biology. The book then describes the basic principles of population genetics, starting with an analysis of the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. It describes how various evolutionary forces, such as natural selection, random genetic drift, mutation, and migration, drive the evolution of populations. Special cases of natural selection, including selection against the recessive or dominant allele, overdominance, and frequency-dependent selection, are thoroughly examined. Additionally, the book briefly explores how different evolutionary forces interact within populations, such as the combination of selection and mutation. The role of inbreeding in evolution and the dynamics of population structure are discussed, along with linkage disequilibrium and the significance of recombination in evolution. A chapter focuses on the genetics of quantitative traits and artificial selection. Also, the principles of sociobiology are analyzed through the lens of altruistic and conflict behaviors at both the organismal and genetic levels. The book covers sexual selection, the evolution of sex, and the principles of speciation. It concludes with a discussion on molecular evolution, including phylogeny and the interplay between selection and random genetic drift at the molecular level.

uk: Математика, природничі науки

description: This book presents a systematic introduction to differential and integral calculus. Special emphasis is placed on basic concepts and definitions, thus offering the possibility of a deep understanding of the concepts of derivative and integral, in direct correspondence to physical quantities and phenomena, as well as to engineering problems. For this purpose, various kinds of problems arising, in particular from the basic definitions of the concept of function, various kinds of functions, monotonicity and exponents, are analyzed in a structured hierarchy. In this way the foundation of the differential calculus is achieved on solid foundations, when the understanding of the necessity and usefulness of the definitions of limit and rate of change has matured. Based on this background, the introduction to integral calculus is made. The listed material is supplemented by two chapters devoted to the extension of calculus to practical problems in space and time and to the solution of basic differential equations.  The ambition of this book is to provide a thorough background of knowledge and problem-solving skills to achieve a deep understanding of the basic definitions of calculus, with an immediate awareness of their necessity in understanding and using natural phenomena. The purpose is to consolidate the theory of calculus as a tool for immediate solution of practical problems, but also to cultivate the intuitive approach from the engineer's side.

description:
This book examines literature and, more broadly, culture in Greece during the Second World War, the Occupation, the Resistance, and the Civil War. Literature during this period of extremes is closely connected with history, politics, society, and to understand it, we must attempt to reconstruct a comprehensive framework, from the material conditions of life to the psychology of people.
The main outcome of the study, regarding the period of the Occupation, relates to its two distinct phases. In the first phase, until the end of 1942, there is a significant flourishing of book production, a euphoria among writers for the new readers, and simultaneously a tendency to distance themselves from current events, a turn towards the "eternal" and towards an art independent of conditions, sometimes bordering on estheticism. Writers compensate for the gloomy reality with various "escapes": towards childhood, for example, or towards warm sunny islands. The symbol of the island is very characteristic of this first phase of the Occupation, while the dominant narrative genre is the "lyrical prose," a symbolic and introspective art.
These phenomena have little to do with censorship, which did exist but was rather lax. Behaviors can be explained by defeatism, withdrawal into the inner world, the desire for solitude, something often observed after defeats. For this reason, as soon as it became apparent that victory was turning towards the Allies, in early 1943, these phenomena change. Patriotism is revived, the themes change, and poets turn from the "islands" of voluntary isolation to the "city". Nevertheless, the shift is not absolute: many writers continue until the end of the Occupation to produce introspective lyricism.
There are also "dual behaviors": militancy in some areas of life and a "carefree" attitude in art, indicating that literature during this period is primarily called upon to play a role of calmness and consolation.
At the end of the Occupation, there emerges a demand for an entirely different art, one that would abandon individual problems and give attention to the totality, in an epic manner. This demand is universal, spanning across the entire political spectrum. Characteristically, however, the Left, being predominant at the time, is much less insistent in its demands, accepting all artistic currents and tendencies.
In the days leading up to the Liberation, the expectation for a total change of the world is particularly strong, expressed, among other ways, through the symbol of the journey. For the first time in Greek literature, the dominant motif becomes not fleeing, but enthusiastic departure for new discoveries: a rejection of "Ithaca" and boring everyday life.
The Liberation quickly disproves optimism, as it begins with the extremely violent conflict of the Civil War for a month (the so-called December events). However, in the realm of literature, the Left remains predominant, producing fiery texts about the December events.
In 1945, there are violent confrontations regarding the relationship between art and society, involving prominent intellectuals; there is also a dispute over "national" values. Beneath the confrontations, however, we can discern convergences: the Left tends to abandon extreme militancy in favor of an art that respects the aesthetic terms of its existence, while simultaneously (and conversely) liberals tend to adopt, through "responsibility," a kind of militancy. Additionally, the Left relatively quickly abandons "resistance art," while liberals programmatically engage in "national" art. Themes are sometimes shared between factions, but common are also the artistic methods: the demand for "simplicity" prevails.
The study follows post-war production by genre categories, which partly tend to coincide with themes: poetry particularly deals with the dead of the war, short stories with snapshots of the Occupation, while the novel deals with the Albanian war or with national history, primarily the Ottoman rule. Other themes include adolescence or the Bildungsroman. The latter, an individualistic genre, is cultivated especially by women, who, through the experience of war and resistance, find themselves in a new phase of self-discovery and identity. There is also a characteristic trend towards a return to the countryside and the life of the province, a new “etude de moeurs”: the urban openness of the 1930s is significantly restricted.
At the same time, however, new currents enter Greece, where intellectuals, after the experience of the World War, feel they are participating in a culture that tends towards "globalization". Thus, existentialism, particularly Sartre's (almost always negatively), is especially debated, while English and American literature steadily gain ground.
The end of the Liberation marks the exhaustion of the era by the late 1947. People are weary and disappointed. The new symbol expressing the era is the 'return.' In contrast to the travel passion of 1943-1946, now we encounter various versions of 'return': return to the Past, to love, to the land, to nature (away from people), or - from a different perspective - to the miserable reality.
At the same time, collective life ceases to be unified. A gap opens between those who continue to participate in History, fighting in the mountains (in one or the other army) or displaced to remote islands, and those who now live completely normally, in a world that begins to forget the war and the hardships of the past. Art, too, is divided: part of it is liberated from the 'era', while another part is in absolute dependence.
The imprisoned and displaced leftist poets continue to produce poetry incessantly, as a means of survival, while simultaneously questioning the usefulness of art in an era of extreme human suffering. However, there are many who remain silent, mainly those who have left Greece for abroad. The characteristic preoccupation of the entire decade, whether art can render reality, whether it is worth writing at all, or whether one has the right to aestheticize horror, culminates in 1950, tending towards a negative answer.
Furthermore, the circulation of books presents a great decline during this time, which, after the surge of the Occupation, discourages artists. Only very few are fortunate enough to have their work spread outside Greece, in a world experiencing an increasingly rapid circulation of works and ideas.
The book also includes a separate section on women's literature: "Women Writers 1940-1950. The Journey of Freedom".
The history of female production has a peculiarity compared to the male. Women during this period make a significant transition from the private to the public sphere, mainly due to the Resistance. A new consciousness is born, along with an entirely new self-confidence. The thematic change in 1943 is impressive: from the pre-war woman-victim, who constantly suffers abandonment by men, there is a change towards a woman who takes life into her own hands and even tends to reject marriage. Women writers now write extensive novels or poems  -sometimes of epic proportions- showing a particular passion for life. The motif of travel, dominant in many works, symbolizes a tendency to break free from norms and traditions. At times, however, the more conservative motif of trees develops, while a conservative -both politically and personally- female author prefers the "land" over the "sea". During this time, an epic travel novel is also written, which, although it does not address issues of women's liberation, represents a step towards equality. This liberating momentum also diminishes towards the end of the decade.

description: The book attempts to provide a concise appraisal of Greek economic history. Its starting point is the mid-1750s’ when the Renaissance of the Greek area took place and lasted until the end of the 20th century. The chapters are organised according to the following structure. The first chapter attempts to outline the economic Renaissance of the Greek area within the context of the more general rearrangements recorded in the Ottoman Empire during the 18th century when it was integrated into the framework of global trade exchanges. The second chapter analyses the attempts to reconstruct the Greek economy and society during the first decades of the Greek kingdom, initiating with the recognition of the new state (1832) and ending with the distribution of the national lands (1871). Furthermore, chapters 3 and 4 present the historical development of the agricultural sector in Greece during the 19th and 20th centuries. In the fifth chapter, we discuss the period of the formation of Greek capitalism during 1871- 1909. This period coincided with the Great Depression (1873-1896), which changed European capitalism. The sixth chapter summarises the key points regarding the peculiar features of the Greek road towards economic development. Chapters 7 and 8 provide an analytical framework to understand the transformations of the Greek economy during the period of the Reconstruction, the Balkan Wars, the Asia Minor Catastrophe (1909-1922) and the interwar period (1922- 1940). Lastly, chapter nine, entitled "From Economic History to Economic Policy: Policy Directions in the Postwar Period, 1949-2001", attempts to present the historical link between the postwar great economic growth cycle and the current status of the Greek economy.

description:
The book is primarily addressed to students of the Aeronautical Mechanical Engineering courses of the Polytechnic Schools of the country, as well as to all those engineers, technicians and/or pilots, who are interested in acquiring a solid scientific basis in the subject of Flight Dynamics and Control. The book refers to the way in which it is possible for an aircraft to obtain satisfactory flying and handling qualities. For this reason special mention is given to the dynamic characteristics and to the stability and control characteristics which form the basis for the above analysis. The book addresses three main questions: 1) The configuration of the stability and control characteristics of the aircraft and how these affect the flight characteristics.
2) The acceptable flight characteristics, the way the corresponding requirements are defined, interpreted and applied through the regulations and the way these requirements define the flight envelope.
3) How unacceptable flight characteristics can be improved. The book initially contains the theory of the dynamic behavior of the aircraft. This includes developing and solving the full equations of motion, their simplified form for longitudinal and transverse dynamics, and studying the response of the aircraft to control rudders by defining the transfer functions.
The way in which the pilot operates the aircraft is then analyzed as much as the way in which the human perceives the flight. The book further includes dynamic data applications of a variety of aircraft, as well as a brief overview of the main aircraft subsystems (instruments, controllers, actuators) used to control flight.

This book aims to cover this gap by offering material that addresses the historical evolution of these spaces, contemporary organizational models of human resources, functional structure, but primarily the types of spatial organization. The ability of the building envelope to support different organizational models entails adapting the interior space in various design ways. Thus, the design of these spaces includes the spatial parts of the project: the building envelope, the structural elements of the interior space - floors, walls, partitions, and ceilings, the electromechanical installations with an emphasis on lighting design, as well as furniture and materials, as scenic elements. The evolution of technology has revealed new ways of working, connecting them with modern transformations in spaces and new conditions imposed on them. Within this framework, reference is made to the automated and virtual office, the alternative and individual office, the environmentally friendly office, while an overview and presentation of selected spaces from Greek reality are provided as examples of the new models.

description:
This book serves as an introduction to the study of Nonlinear Systems and is aimed at third- and fourth-year undergraduate students in the Physical Sciences or Engineering. It could also be used as a basis for a corresponding course in a Graduate Studies Program. The book's goal is to help students understand the basic methods used in dynamical systems, their limitations, the concept of stability, and the necessary conditions for complex behavior to occur. Since the analytical mathematical approach to a dynamical system is generally difficult for an undergraduate student, we focus on computational techniques. We use Mathematica (or the free software Mathics), which combines analytical and numerical calculations as well as graphics in an easy manner. The book initially deals with simple mechanical systems and more generally with autonomous continuous systems in two dimensions. The basic points of dynamics, such as equilibrium points, stability, characteristics of phase space topology, bifurcations, periodic solutions, and limit cycles, are described in detail. These characteristics are mainly described computationally for three-dimensional systems as well. For non-autonomous systems, we limit ourselves to one dimension and oscillator systems with external periodic disturbance. The possible behavioral cases (periodic or quasi-periodic oscillations, limit cycles, chaotic behavior) are described.
The second part of the book refers to discrete systems in one and two dimensions. We study their fixed and periodic points as well as their linear stability. Through classic systems (such as the logistic map), we demonstrate the transition from order to chaos and provide the property of chaos with a rigorous mathematical definition. Finally, we present the Smale horseshoe mapping and the creation of the homoclinic tangle in conservative mappings.

description: Το σύγγραμμα αποτελεί εκτεταμένη και επικαιροποιημένη εισαγωγή στην κοινωνική, οικονομική και πολιτισμική ιστορία της Βενετίας και της Βενετικής Αυτοκρατορίας. Χρονικά καλύπτει την περίοδο από τον 11ο αιώνα, όταν τίθενται τα θεμέλια της εμπορικής και ναυτιλιακής ανάπτυξης και αποικιακής επέκτασης της Βενετίας, έως τον 18ο αιώνα, όταν το βενετικό κράτος καταλύεται από τα ναπολεόντεια στρατεύματα. Το σύγγραμμα καλύπτει ένα ευρύ γεωγραφικό φάσμα, καθώς επικεντρώνεται αφενός στη Βενετία, διερευνώντας την πορεία ενός μεσαιωνικού αστικού κέντρου που σταδιακά εξελίχθηκε σε ναυτική αυτοκρατορική υπερδύναμη, και αφετέρου στη συγκρότηση της Βενετικής Αυτοκρατορίας στην ιταλική ενδοχώρα, τη Δαλματία και την Ανατολική Μεσόγειο. Στόχος του συγγράμματος είναι η γνωριμία των φοιτητών/τριών με την ιστορία του Βενετικού Κράτους και η εξοικείωση τους με τις βασικές θεματικές και τα θεμελιώδη ερμηνευτικά εργαλεία που έχουν ανανεώσει την ευρωπαϊκή ιστοριογραφία τις τελευταίες δεκαετίες κατά τις οποίες η ιστορία της Βενετίας βρέθηκε στην αιχμή του ερευνητικού ενδιαφέροντος. Το σύγγραμμα αναλύει τις οικονομικές και κοινωνικές δομές και διαδικασίες που κατέστησαν τη Βενετία εμπορική υπερδύναμη ενώ ταυτόχρονα στρέφεται σε ζητήματα της καθημερινότητας, υιοθετώντας οπτικές που αντλούν από την πολιτισμική ιστορία, την ιστορία του φύλου και τη θεωρία της συγκρότησης των ταυτοτήτων. Με αφετηρία το βενετικό παράδειγμα ανιχνεύονται σημεία σύγκλισης και απόκλισης μεταξύ μητρόπολης και κτήσεων ως προς ποικίλες πτυχές της κοινωνικής, οικονομικής και πολιτισμικής ζωής. Το τελευταίο κεφάλαιο φιλοδοξεί να αποτελέσει γέφυρα μεταξύ του παρελθόντος και της σύγχρονης πολιτισμικής παραγωγής, μελετώντας τις αφηγήσεις και αναπαραστάσεις του βενετικού παρελθόντος στον κινηματογράφο. <br/>Τα σύγγραμμα θα καλύπτει πλήρως μαθήματα σχετικά με την ιστορία του Βενετικού Κράτους ενώ θα μπορούσε επίσης να αξιοποιηθεί σε μαθήματα ευρωπαϊκής, μεσαιωνικής και νεότερης ιστορίας και ιστορίας του νέου ελληνισμού

description:
The aim of this book is to introduce the basic concepts of wave physics with examples, applications and laboratory exercises. These concepts are essential at the introductory undergraduate level of Departments of sound engineering and acoustics and, broadly, Departments involved in music technology and the sound arts.
The first chapters introduce the concepts of kinetic and dynamical body theory using basic principles of calculus. Then the basic principles of periodic motions, simple harmonic oscillations, their superposition in one and two dimensions, damped and forced oscillations and the phenomenon of resonance, are presented.
Then an introduction to wave physics is given with the definition, the basic physical quantities of waves and the basic types of wave perturbations. The concepts of the wave equation for one-dimensional waves, their velocity, energy and power are introduced. The concepts of normal modes of oscillation and characteristic frequencies (eigenfrequencies) are also introduced.
This is followed by an analysis of basic wave phenomena involving wave superposition and wave interference, Fourier wave analysis, standing wave generation and resonance, the study of waves in a bounded string, and the Doppler effect.
For the particular case of sound waves, the concepts of displacement waves and acoustic pressure waves, their supeposition in tubes and membranes, the types of sound waves in terms of source and propagation symmetry (plane, cylindrical and spherical) in free space are presented and the concept of sound intensity and the decibel (dB) intensity scale are introduced.
Finally, complete examples of laboratory exercises based on commercially available equipment are given, which aim at understanding the aforementioned concepts.

description:
The branch of International Economics that examines the economic relations of various economies is divided into International Monetary Relations, which examine the relationships between economies concerning the balance of payments, and the Theory of International Trade, which concerns the long-term equilibrium in the economic relations developed between different economies. Specifically, it examines why specialization forms the basis for the commencement of trade, whether this increases the welfare level of economic units, and what the basis is for the creation of trade flows between countries. The issues examined by International Monetary Relations are of a short-term nature, while those of the Theory of International Trade are of a long-term nature.
The theory of International Trade is divided into:
Positive Economics
Welfare Economics
The basic questions that positive economics seek to answer include:
What goods are traded between countries?
With whom is the trade conducted?
In what quantities will the goods be exchanged?
The main topics examined within welfare economics include:

The impact on a country of barriers introduced in the export movement of goods between countries (e.g., tariff and non-tariff protection measures).
The theory of economic integration, which examines what happens between countries that create preferential trade relationships.
The book is intended for students of economics departments who are having their first encounter with the theory of International Trade. The theories presented to explain trade flows between countries are based on the classical and neoclassical schools of economic thought and are presented in their historical order. Theories of International Trade that explain trade flows based on technological change are also examined.

description: This book is aimed at students of Mathematics departments, Applied Mathematics and Statistics departments, as well as those who deal with Statistics and have a good background in Probability Theory. The book is a result of the authors' many years of teaching in the subject of Hypothesis Testing in Parametric Statistics, as well as their involvement with problems in Biology, Geology, Medicine, etc. The first chapter is the introductory chapter. In the second chapter, the basic concepts of hypothesis testing are given. The null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis, the power function and the types of test statistics (nonrandomized test statistic, uniformly most powerful test statistic, unbiased) are defined. In addition, the fundamental Neyman-Pearson lemma is formulated and proved. The third chapter gives the concept of the property of the monotone likelihood ratio, theorems related to it, as well as theorems concerning uniformly most powerful test statistic. The fourth chapter gives the concept of the generalized likelihood ratio and its asymptotic distribution. The fifth chapter is devoted entirely to the normal distribution. The hypothesis tests, described in the chapter, involve one of two parameters, even when both parameters are unknown. In addition, this chapter compares the parameters of two distributions of independent samples, when they follow normal distribution. The topics analyzed in the sixth chapter of the book are the relationship between confidence intervals and the acceptance region of two-sided hypothesis tests, the comparison of proportions of two independent random samples, hypothesis tests concerning the parameters of the general linear model, and hypothesis testing for the mean values in one-way analysis of variance.

description: The book offers a basic introduction to theoretical and practical aspects of corpus linguistics with a special focus on Greek and Greek corpora. Linguistic corpora are collections of a large number of texts, stored in an electronic format, that can be accessed and processed by computer tools. Their widespread use in recent decades for the analysis of a wide range of linguistic phenomena has made corpus linguistics one of the basic methods, as well as theoretical models in linguistics. The handbook’s basic aim is to introduce the various types of corpora, their design and compilation, as well as methodological tools designed for text analysis with specific exercises on several points. Special emphasis is put on the analysis of lexical, grammatical and discourse aspects of Greek and other languages with the help of language corpora, while their contribution to the analysis of linguistic variation and several fields of applied linguistics is also discussed. The book’s content is interactively linked to sites of corpora such as the corpus of greek texts and to relevant applications with a view to improve readers’ familiarity with related concepts and practice in practical aspects of corpus linguistics. The book also includes a glossary of basic terms of corpus linguistics.

description:
Το προτεινόμενο διδακτικό εγχειρίδιο μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί ως κύριο ή / και ως επικουρικό σύγγραμμα από προπτυχιακούς και μεταπτυχιακούς φοιτητές ανθρωπιστικών επιστημών που διδάσκονται ξένη ή ελληνική λογοτεχνία, συγκριτική φιλολογία και θεατρολογία. Έχει ως αντικείμενο την κριτική παρουσίαση των γενών και των ειδών που εμφανίστηκαν, καθιερώθηκαν και κωδικοποιήθηκαν στην ιστορία της ευρωπαϊκής λογοτεχνίας αλλά και της θεωρίας περί αυτών μέσω της κριτικής επισκόπησης σημαντικών ποιητικών που έδρασαν ανά τους αιώνες και διαμόρφωσαν την αισθητική, την πρόσληψη και την παραγωγή της λογοτεχνίας.

Εκκινώντας από την αποδοχή ότι «το γένος είναι η δομή της οποίας παραλλαγές είναι τα έργα» θα προσεγγίσουμε τις κατηγορίες και υποκατηγορίες της λογοτεχνικής παραγωγής με δύο τρόπους: α) από ιστορικής άποψης, ακολουθώντας εκ του σύνεγγυς την εμφάνιση, επιβίωση ή εξαφάνισή τους στις διάφορες εποχές δημιουργίας τους (άξονας διαχρονίας) και β) από θεωρητικής άποψης διερευνώντας και παρουσιάζοντας τα χαρακτηριστικά εκείνα γνωρίσματα που μας επιτρέπουν την κατηγοριοποίηση των έργων σε συγκεκριμένα γένη και είδη (άξονας συγχρονίας). Για παράδειγμα, θα παρουσιάσουμε τόσο τα δομικά στοιχεία που διέπουν το είδος του μυθιστορήματος όσο και τις μεταβολές του ανά τους αιώνες.

Θα συνδέσουμε τη θεωρία με την πράξη μέσω παραδειγμάτων και πρακτικών εφαρμογών και γι’ αυτό τα κεφάλαια θα αποτελούνται από δύο μέρη: α) το πρώτο και μεγαλύτερο θα αναλύει τη σύγχρονη λογοτεχνική παραγωγή παρουσιάζοντας τα κυρίαρχα ή νεόκοπα είδη, ενώ παράλληλα θα εξετάζει τις «δράσεις» ή «αντιδράσεις» της θεωρίας και β) το δεύτερο μέρος θα απαρτίζεται από μικρά αποσπάσματα θεωρητικών κειμένων και σύντομο σχολιασμό τους (με στόχο την εξοικείωση των φοιτητών στην κριτική σκέψη) και από σύντομα αποσπάσματα κειμένων της νεοελληνικής και ευρωπαϊκής λογοτεχνίας άμεσα συνυφασμένων με τα γένη/είδη που έχουν σκιαγραφηθεί στο αντίστοιχο κεφάλαιο.

description:
Η μικροχειρουργική, δηλαδή η χειρουργική σε μικροσκοπικές ανατομικές δομές με τη βοήθεια μικροσκοπίου και ειδικών εργαλείων και ραμμάτων, αναπύχθηκε τα τελευταία 50 χρόνια και έχει αποδειχθεί ανεκτίμητη και απαραίτητη τεχνική σε όλες τις χειρουργικές ειδικότητες. Πολλές επεμβάσεις όπως η επανασυγκόλληση ακρωτηριασμένων μελών, η κάλυψη με κρημνούς, η συρραφή περιφερικών νεύρων κ.α. βασίζονται στη μικροχειρουργική. Η μικροχειρουργική εφαρμόζεται στην ορθοπαιδική, νευροχειρουργική, πλαστική χειρουργική, οφθαλμολογία, ΩΡΛ, ουρολογία, γυναικολογία, μεταμοσχεύσεις, κ.α. και κατά συνέπεια πρέπει να διδάσκεται στους φοιτητές ιατρικής και να αποτελεί τμήμα της βασικής εκπαίδευσης των ειδικευομένων των χειρουργικών ειδικοτήτων.
Καθώς δεν είναι τεχνική που μαθαίνεται μέσω μελέτης είναι απαραίτητη η χρήση διαδραστικών μέσων και συνεχούς εξάσκησης καθώς και η τήρηση ορισμένων βασικών αρχών. Για την εξάσκηση χρησιμοποιούνται διάφορα μοντέλα:
α. συνθετικά υλικά (γάντι, γάζα, σωληνίσκοι)
β. πτωματικά παρασκευάσματα (ζωικά τεμάχια ή ανθρώπινοι ιστοί/μέλη που αφαιρέθηκαν κατά τη διάρκεια χειρουργικών επεμβάσεων), που δίνουν τη δυνατότητα εκμάθησης των βασικών αρχών της μικροχειρουργικής (εξοικείωση με μικροσκόπιο και απόκτηση ευχερούς χρήσης μικροεργαλείων) και τελικά
γ. πειραματόζωα
Στο παρόν σύγγραμμα, μετά την παρουσίαση των βασικών αρχών και των εφαρμογών της μικροχειρουργικής ακολουθεί παρουσίαση των μικροχειρουργικών τεχνικών με τη χρήση εικόνων και διαδραστικών μέσων. Οι τεχνικές παρουσιάζονται με αυξανόμενη δυσκολία και αφορούν την
1. εξοικείωση με το χειρουργικό μικροσκόπιο, εργαλεία και ράμματα μικροχειρουργικής
2. εξάσκηση σε μικροχειρουργικούς κόμπους σε γάντι
3. εξάσκηση αναστόμωσης σε σωληνίσκους και ζωικά τεμάχια (μηρός όρνιθας)
4. παρασκευή αγγειονευρώδους δεματίου και εξάσκηση αναστομώσεων σε αρτηρίες και φλέβες και νευρικών συρραφών σε πειραματόζωο (επίμυες),
ώστε να υπάρχει επαρκής προετοιμασία για την εφαρμογή των γνώσεων/δεξιοτήτων σε κλινικά περιστατικά.
