description: Owing to its favourable properties, reinforced concrete is the most used structural material in Greece and in many other countries worldwide. For this reason, structural design of reinforced concrete structures is included in the curriculum of all civil engineering undergraduate courses in Greek universities. While this textbook mainly targets undergraduate civil engineering students, it could also be helpful for professionals. The main goal of the book is to provide the reader with the fundamentals of structural mechanics and structural design of reinforced concrete linear members (beams, columns) when subjected in flexure (with or without axial load) and/or in shear. To achieve this goal, analytical procedures for the design of such members in flexure/shear at the ultimate limit state (ULS) have been developed and described in detail. Reinforcement detailing rules of the structural Eurocodes are included. Wherever applicable, the seismic design code provisions for RC members with ductility requirements are described in detail. Besides the main goal, the phenomenon of passive confinement of concrete linear elements owing to the internal steel reinforcement is presented in detail along with analytical expressions for calculating the confinement factor. In most chapters, the theory is supported by analytically solved numerical examples, while the learning experience is enhanced by numerous original figures, pictures and videos.

description:
This monograph analyses, from a constitutional law perspective, the prohibition of hate speech, as a limitation of freedom of expression, in international (mainly European Convention on Human Rights), European Union and Greek law. It focuses particularly on those cases of hate speech that involve religion, either from the speaker’s or from the victims’ point of view.
All the national legal orders of EU Member States –including Greece, which the author examines in detail, have incorporated the European Framework Decision 2008/913/ JHA of 28th November 2008 on combating certain forms and expressions of racism and xenophobia by means of criminal law. This is why, in combination with the application of the ECHR, the author places the topic within the multilevel constitutionalism, including a multiplicity of human rights sources. The case law of the European Court of Human Rights and particularly the prominence of Article 17 ECHR are being critically evaluated. Relevant Greek case law is also thoroughly analysed based on constitutional law criteria.
The topic is examined not only and purely as one of human rights, and free speech more specifically, but also as something characterizing European democracy as mildly militant. In this framework, the author also examines the persuasiveness of the claims concerning the public goods protected and legitimising the prohibition of hate speech (equality and non-discrimination, dignity and personality, public order). She then concludes that if these goods are interpreted in a harmonised way, given a social meaning, they constitute, all together, the notion of the European ‘vivre ensemble’ (living together), as a particular characteristic of European constitutionalism.

description: The present textbook is a tutorial aid that contains solved exercises in the field of Condensed Matter Physics (CMP). It is a continuation of a previous textbook in the Kallipos Repository (https://repository.kallipos.gr/handle/11419/1314) and explores chapters that are not typically covered in an introductory CMP course, such as the chapters in the first book of the series. The textbook 'Problems in Condensed Matter Physics II' includes solved problems from five areas of CMP. Specifically, in the first chapter, the reader will find solved exercises on methods for calculating the electronic structure of solids, which is perhaps the most important part of CMP theory, as knowledge of the electronic structure of materials provides the basis for computing the majority of material properties. The second chapter presents solved exercises in electron dynamics and transport phenomena in solids. The third chapter focuses on exercises related to the optical and dielectric properties of materials. The fourth chapter deals with the magnetic properties of materials, while chapter five contains exercises on the theory of superconductivity, both at the phenomenological and at microscopic levels (BCS theory). The CMP material presented in the above chapters usually corresponds to an advanced undergraduate course in Physics or Applied Sciences, or to a course in a postgraduate program in Physics or Materials Science.

Basic Elements of Mechanics

keywords: Equilibrium and mechanical properties of solids

uk: Математика, природничі науки

uk: Фізика, Астрономія

description:
This book presents the basic principles of the Newtonian Mechanics at the undergraduate level. The author aims to focus the reader's attention on the key points of the theory and its applications. The subject matter of the book begins with the study of objects of Physics, physical quantities, units of measurement and their systems, as well as the properties and operations of vectors.
Next, the presentation of kinematics begins, with the study of rectilinear smooth motion, rectilinear smoothly accelerated motion, and free fall. The study of movement in plane and space follows. The relative movement according to Galileo's transformations is also described. The dynamic view of movement follows, with the concept of force and the presentation of Newton's three laws. Types of forces such as weight, friction, and centripetal force are described in detail. Then the concepts of work, mechanical energy, and power are defined. The work-kinetic energy theorem and the conservation of mechanical energy for conservative forces are presented. Next the definitions of momentum and impulse, as well as a description of the body collisions, are given. The principle of conservation of momentum and the concept of the center of mass are highlighted, while systems of variable mass are also studied. Then a detailed reference is made to the rotation of the solid body, initially with the kinematics of the rotation and then with the dynamics. A body's translational and rotational equilibrium conditions are given, while the mechanical properties of solids are briefly mentioned. Following is the study of oscillatory motions with a description first of the simple harmonic oscillation and later of the damped and forced oscillation. Gravity is presented as a fundamental force through the law of universal gravitation. The book ends with the study of fluids initially in their static state, and then with fluid dynamics for ideal but also real fluids.

description:
The concept of "sustainable development" was defined during the late 20th century after a period of intensive industrialization and urbanization of many countries. Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Especially, regarding the marine environment, human activities have caused a lot of environmental and ecological problems that necessitate action to improve the environmental conditions with the use of "cleaner" processes in all fields of human activity. The need for effective environmental management is urgent in coastal areas as well as in enclosed seas like the Mediterranean Sea.
The present book contains issues relevant to almost all aspects of the management of the marine environment. In the first four chapters we present the main concepts of environmental management, the institutional framework that supports the management of the marine environment and the tools that can be used for the achievement of its targets, such as Environmental Impact Assessments .
In the next four chapters the relation of the successful management of the marine environment with the environmental quality and the ecological health of the marine environment is described. These chapters include the methods of marine environmental monitoring, the response to human induced marine pollution, the establishment of marine protected areas and the evaluation of the effectiveness of management and protection bodies.
In the final four chapters of the book the sustainable environmental management of important human activities that take place in the marine environment is discussed, such as fishing and marine aquaculture, shipping, ports, shipyards, marine and coastal tourism, the extraction of oil, gas, water, minerals, and the production of energy.

description:
This monograph explores color and the way it is applied in map creation and spatial representations. Color is one of the dominant elements of a visual scene and, indeed -according to contemporary studies in the field of neurobiology- the first element recognized by the human visual system. Color has been extensively explored in various scientific fields. It also plays a prominent role in many forms of art, and especially painting, where it serves as a powerful means of artistic expression. In maps and spatial representations, color is one of the primary elements for evaluation, based on the successful transmission of the information they depict. In fact, color hue, brightness, and saturation are the three visual variables that form the basis for cartographic symbols. Additionally, the application of color to individual cartographic elements is a critical parameter for shaping the overall map image, as it establishes harmony, balance, contrast, visual hierarchy, and the organization of the image-background relationship. Color thus determines what will stand out, what will recede, what will be clear or vague, bright or dark, different or similar.
This monograph attempts to synthesize the existing knowledge about color, as it emerges from different research approaches. It includes an analysis of its nature, philosophical considerations, its modes of perception by the human visual system, its descriptive systems, and the role it plays in painting. The extensive illustrative material, including, but not limited to, examples of paintings and chromatic sequences, are radical in enhancing understanding of the analysis and applicability of color. It is the aim of the authors that this monograph will serve as a comprehensive teaching tool for studying and applying color in digital spatial representations, particularly in maps, whether virtual or in print.

description:
This book aims to explore gender through an interdisciplinary lens and other identity indicators, to enable students to acquire a critical awareness of the structures of power that shape gender, as well as their potential to bring about transformation and change. By focusing on the growing body of critical theory being developed in Gender and Women’s Studies, and by critically examining a broad array of literary and cultural texts, this book will familiarize students with the most crucial theoretical discourses on gender, and expose them to existing debates that have been initiated and sustained in a range of disciplines in the humanities and arts.

All four chapters of the book explore critical gender-aware discourses, practices, and methodologies and their contribution to a better understanding within and across cultures, giving particular emphasis on the Anglophone paradigm. Moreover, the chapters draw on the reciprocal relationship among literature, performance arts, and language, and the power of education and translation to encourage and enhance the synergy between fields to promote gender equality and inclusivity. Tackling important, much-debated questions of gender, this book ultimately seeks to draw attention to the dynamic and diverse nature of gender and its intersection with other structuring forces and practices that raise gender awareness and self-awareness and contribute to the pursuit of justice and equality across languages and cultures.

uk: Бізнес та економіка

en: Business and Economics

uk: Право, економіка та суспільні науки

description:
Consumer behaviour is part of the microeconomic analysis that examines the behaviour of consumers as units and their interaction within the market mechanism. This textbook aims to meet the teaching needs of the course of the same title in postgraduate study programs in economics and business administration. The book begins by covering basic microeconomics that underpins the analysis of consumer behaviour and then moves on to consider the consumer's equilibrium and the effects of changing that equilibrium. From Chapter 7 onwards the analysis uses more mathematical calculus to examine the effects of a change in price in the framework of Slutsky's equation, and shows how demand functions are derived from specific types of utility (Cobb-Douglas), constant elasticity of substitution (CES) functions), PIGLOG, Gorman. Deaton and Muellbauer's AIDS model is also presented.
Next, models of consumer behaviour are presented when there is an interaction between preferences, price and quantity. Furthermore, the effect of the existence of externalities (external effects) on consumer behaviour and the effect of the imposition of indirect taxation on prices are approached.
Finally, the revealed utility theory of Paul Samuelson, the derivation of the demand function with the assumptions of this theory, the consumer's choices under conditions of uncertainty and the expected utility function of John von Neumann and Oskar Morgenstern, as well as the general equilibrium are presented in consumption and overall, in the economy.

description: The basic characteristic of the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) is due to the fact that their solutions can be functions of many variables, which they can be used to describe real life phenomena, where the involved quantities are usually depended on the three special dimensions plus the time. At a first level of investigation, the PDEs are classified in three major categories based on the dependence of their solutions on time. That gives us the elliptic equations, with solutions independent of time, the parabolic equations, with solutions depending irreversibly on time, and the hyperbolic equations, with solutions that depend reversibly on time. The basic physical phenomena, described by these three types of equations, are the theories of potentials (elliptic equations), the diffusion processes (parabolic equations) and the theories of vibrations and wave propagation (hyperbolic equations). The present book is focused on the methods of solutions of these three types of PDEs in different geometrical domains, such as the geometry described by the cartesian, the cylindrical, the spherical and the polar coordinate systems. For domains with not so simple geometries the solutions demand more sophisticated techniques such as the Green’s functions and the construction of integral representations, and these techniques are analytically contained in separate chapters. In any case the book is built around the spectral theory of eigensolutions and the related eigenexpansions. Besides the classical spectral methods, the reader can also find introductory analyses for first order equation via the method of characteristics, for integral transforms, for the Kelvin inversion method as well as for energy topics associated with physical problems. Finally, the book is written in such a way that emphasizes the connection between the mathematical methods of producing solutions and their physical interpretation.

description: This textbook contains introductory knowledge and concepts related to the subject of mechatronics. Mechatronics, as an interdisciplinary area, relies on knowledge of mechanics and dynamics, control, electronics and utilizes available technology to design integrated complex, intelligent systems. The material presented has been limited to some useful knowledge and the presentation of illustrative applications, hoping that this will help the reader to seek more information in the sources and proceed with the development of his/her own application. Most of the steps presented are completed by programs in MATLAB and some in Simulink. It is hoped that this information will be of substantial help and stimulus to the reader to use the material available and to extend it. This book is not only addressed to electrical or electronic engineers and IT engineers, but to engineers of all specialties and for this reason the concepts are presented in a way that is as simple and concise as possible and often through solved examples. The following items are presented in the book. After a brief introduction into mechatronics in Chapter 1, examples of sensors and actuators are presented in Chapters 2 and 3 respectively. Analog systems with reference to electrical circuits are presented in Chapter 4. Elements of digital logic design are given in Chapter 5. Elements of dynamics of mechanisms and structures are presented in Chapter 6. Details from classical control systems are given in Chapter 7. Artificial intelligence techniques are discussed in Chapter 8. Fuzzy and neurofuzzy control techniques used subsequently to study mechatronic structures are presented in Chapter 9. Concrete examples showing the application of passive and active control in mechanisms and structures are presented in Chapters 10, 11 and 12. Finally, the programs and simulation software that accompany the book are briefly presented in Chapter 13.

description: In recent decades, several classes of non-linear time series models have appeared in the literature; namely, bilinear time series models, threshold AR models, exponential AR models, random coefficient AR models, Smooth Transition Regression Model, (STAR models), exponential moving average models, Neural Networks model, Genetic Algorithm Models, and other related models. (A detailed analysis of these models will be provided in the following chapters.) Each of these models was developed to identify and capture behaviors that are not detected by linear models. The potential of this book is to model and predict economic data using different nonlinear and chaotic processes. Therefore, in this book, we will examine various nonlinear time series model models, as well as their properties, and attempt to fit them to data and produce forecasts. We will also review a number of nonlinearity tests developed by various authors.  The purpose of this paper is to present the Classical & Contemporary Time Series Models, which are used in the forecasting of economic and financial variables.

description: While agricultural production systems have evolved rapidly over the past century to feed the ever-growing world population, this has led to several significant economic and environmental impacts. As a result, modern agriculture has had to find new ways of using available IT and smart machine technologies to reduce and selectively target inputs more efficiently than in the past. Agricultural robots are autonomous machines programmed to perform discrete tasks automatically and intelligently. This book consists of a total of eight chapters. The first three chapters present fundamental concepts and principles of robotic manipulators and mobile robots. The next four chapters deal exclusively with agricultural robots. In particular, agricultural robots are presented which are used to carry out farming operations such as seeding, planting and transplanting, and robots designed for effective weed control. Self-propelled platforms and harvesting manipulators used in fruit harvesting are described. Robots used in modern livestock facilities that automate important tasks that are laborious, undesirable, or economically unviable, such as feed distribution robots, manure removal robots, milking robots, and robots that collect information about animal health and welfare are also presented. The eighth and final chapter deals with unmanned aerial vehicles or drones. Drones with rotating propellers and fixed wings are introduced and their main structural elements are described. Drones are a cutting-edge technology that we find in modern agriculture. Topographical, soil, climatic-meteorological and telescopic data are nowadays obtained with the help of drones. With the continuous technological development of both drones and sensors, we were able to do agriculture with high spatial and temporal precision a few years ago. In the coming years, new technologies will have to be developed so that the new generation of robots and drones can perform their new tasks even better.

description: The current book presents basic as well as advanced statistical tools for data analysis. Initially, basic techniques for summarizing data and techniques for checking their randomness, the existence of outliers and their adaptation to a theoretical model (goodness of fit tests) are presented. Next, the most important parametric and nonparametric hypothesis tests are presented. As in many scientific fields the determination of the relationship of dependence between two or more variables is a key objective, reference is provided on regression models (simple, multiple, logistic), as well as to the Analysis of Variance with one and two factors with repeated or non-repeated measurements. Techniques for analyzing chronological data (time series), lifetime data, and multivariate data are also presented. Finally, the above techniques are implemented through real world applications using the statistical programming language R, with special emphasis on the understanding and interpretation of the results. This book is aimed at undergraduate and postgraduate students, who are following data analysis courses and are asked to select appropriate statistical techniques with the aim of extracting complete and safe conclusions based on a sample for the entire population.

description:
In this book the way of thinking and research is developed, gradually in order for the essential stages regarding the animation films - animated spots to be comprehensible as these commute specific themes to a target group. The animated spots or the short animation films convey ideas and views through multiple channels of communication, such as the use of animation in relation with the visual art choices, the sizes of the shots, the camera movement, the sound, the rhythm and the montage.
The chapters are constructed as a comprehensible guide to highlight the possibilities that the animation offers about the communication of complicated ideas to a specifically chosen target group. The method of script creation is written, thoroughly , starting from the research in the basic theme in order to commute the content. Thisprocedure leads the creators to the main idea of the content and finally to the writing of the script, according to the target group, to whom the animation film-animated spot is addressed.The use of film language and the visual art choices are thoroughly analysed as methods of visual communication.
The following chapters are dedicated to the creation of the storyboard. They are focused on the animation storyboarding and especially on the narrative and informative animation through examples from students’ projects. In these examples, an analysis is conducted from the idea and the storyboard until the final film  a .
The last two chapters are about the creation of the animatic and the production of file/bible from the storyboard. Every chapter ends with exercises. These exercises are steps which lead the students to the creation of the final project at the end of the semester, which is the organized material for the animation film and/or animated spot production.

description: The present textbook attempts an interdisciplinary approach that aims to examine the concept of the Mediterranean diet as both a biomedical entity and a cultural asset of the people residing in countries around the Mediterranean Sea. Mediterranean diet was introduced as a novel entity in the scientific literature by medical researchers and, eventually, was also adopted by the food service sector as a term that primarily denotes healthy qualities of the dishes. The first chapter provides an account of the discovery of the Mediterranean diet by scholars and its subsequent rise to a preventive dietary pattern; in addition, the chapter presents the current challenges with respect to understanding the mechanisms underlying the protective action and health benefits of the Mediterranean diet. Assuming a critical standpoint, the second chapter presents an analysis of the diverging approaches for a functional description of the Mediterranean diet as either a dietary paradigm or as a monument of the world’s intangible cultural heritage according to UNESCO. The third chapter provides a review of pertinent studies to highlight the significance of the Mediterranean diet as a strategy that could contribute to safeguarding the planet’s natural resources. The fourth chapter discusses the use of the Mediterranean dietary pattern as a tool for assessing food consumption patterns and quality of dietary intake.  Last, in the fifth chapter, an analysis of the food environment in modern Greece and in neighbouring countries is attempted, as the deep cultural crisis currently inflicting Mediterranean societies has eroded the living roots of the Mediterranean dietary pattern.

description: Physiotherapy in older adults is a crucial field of rehabilitation that has gained prominence in recent decades. The rise in life expectancy, attributed to advancements in medical care, along with a declining birth rate, has resulted in a notable increase in elderly population within society. Epidemiological data predict that by 2070, approximately three out of every ten individuals worldwide will be over the age of 65. Consequently, this demographic shift necessitates addressing the various health issues that older adults face, a great amount of which, demand specialized physical therapy interventions. Hence, the significance of physiotherapeutic treatment for the elderly is now more imperative than ever. The purpose of this textbookis to delineate the unique considerations when geriatric patients are provided with physical therapy care , encompassing preventive strategies as well as the rehabilitation of age-related ailments and disorders. Moreover, it aims to serve as a valuable resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students in the Department of Physiotherapy, providing them with indispensable information to support their academic journey. Within the contents of this textbook, students will find specialized knowledge, which will help them gain a comprehensive understanding of the aging process and its implications on the diverse systems of the human body during old age. Furthermore, they will learn to assess fundamental health parameters of elderly individuals through physical therapy evaluations and design specialized rehabilitation programs tailored to meet the needs of older adults population.

description: This book deals with the analysis of the concepts of Entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility and their connection with Development. Specifically, it is divided into three parts. In the first part the book provides the reader with an analysis of the concept of entrepreneurship as well as a connection of it with local, regional and sustainable development. A brief as well as essential description of the historical course of entrepreneurship is given. The contemporary form of entrepreneurship and the policies to strengthen it are described. In addition, the Greek business environment is outlined. The second part of the book provides a clear and detailed description of Corporate Social Responsibility historically and conceptually. Furthermore, the dimensions and methods of its implementation are presented as well as the International and European Initiatives in the form of Institutions and Organizations for the dissemination and implementation of CSR. In the third and last part of the book, case studies of companies that implement the concepts of CSR and Development in the best possible way are described. In the International, European and Greek business environment, companies are presented as pioneers in the formulation of policies and strategies that defend society and the environment while at the same time they ensure the economic development and further development of the business as well as the local community. There are also companies that are "negative" models, but thanks to the adoption of CSR and the understanding of the problem, they managed to regain the viability of the business and their positive image. The book "Entrepreneurship – Corporate Social Responsibility and Development" therefore provides a fairly comprehensible image both for undergraduate students who wish to familiarize themselves with the terms of entrepreneurship and CSR in relation to development and for entrepreneurs who are interested in undertaking CSR actions with the aim of their further "development".

description: Plant Breeding is the art and science of modifying the genetic material of plants for the benefit of mankind. It is a necessary but quite complex and demanding field, as it is responsible for the development of many crops on which we rely for food and fiber production. This laboratory manual provides students with the opportunity to learn the basic principles and techniques of plant breeding, covering a wide range of topics related to genetics of plant breeding, flower structure, selection methods, tissue culture, crossing techniques, mutational breeding, male sterility, molecular markers, pedigree selection, and seed production and certification. Ultimately, it will help them to understand the different methods of improvement, molecular marker-assisted improvement, its impact on food security and its role in a more sustainable agriculture. The proposed laboratory guide comes to fill the gap between the theoretical part of Plant Breeding and the laboratory part through well-designed exercises. The aim is for students to understand on the one hand the nature of the traits that crop species should have, and on the other hand the logic that should follow to create improved varieties that meet the societal needs.

description: The work with the title "Late Byzantine Hagiography" and the subtitle "Writers and texts" deals with the hagiographical production of the late Byzantine period. In the beginning there is an introduction with the most important events (political, military, economic, ecclesiastical, etc.) of the era. Moreover, emphasis is given on the importance of these years within the intellectual field (developments in Letters and Arts) and the reasons behind the development of hagiography. There are chapters dedicated to both the most important representatives of the hagiographical production of the period (for instance, Kyprios, Raoulaina, Stavrakios, Constantine Akropolites, Xanthopoulos, Metochites, Gregoras, Hyrtakenos, Kalothetos, Lazaropoulos, Kokkinos, Symeon of Thessaloniki, Makris) and the categories of texts (e.g., Collections of Miracles – Old or New Saints – Lives, Speeches, Praises, known and anonymous writers). Each chapter begins with important facts about the life and work of the writers and continues with characteristic excerpts from their hagiographical works with informative facts about persons or events. Linguistic interpretation or paraphrasing and various annotations come next. It is of our interest to highlight elements such as the characteristics of the persons who wrote hagiographical texts during this period (e.g., social status, education), the saints to whom the works are dedicated and the criteria for their selection, as well as the reasons for writing the texts, their structure, language, and style features. Emphasis is given to issues such as the preservation of the ancient Greek, the connection with rhetoric, the distinction of cities and regions with religious significance, the possibility of utilizing hagiography as a historical and archaeological source and the gathering of evidence for the scientific knowledge of the time. The last chapter summarizes the conclusions.

description:
The teaching and learning of the earth sciences constitute an interesting and distinct scientific field within the earth sciences, with unique characteristics. In recent years, the role of earth science education has been significantly elevated, primarily due to the need to promote and develop earth sciences in schools. This need arises from our collective responsibility to shape future citizens with a deep awareness of the growing problems facing our planet (environmental pollution, biodiversity loss, climate crisis etc.), while also fostering critical thinking, creativity and self-confidence in them so that they can effectively contribute to their resolution.
The book deals with the history and epistemology of the earth sciences. Various teaching approaches that can be applied in the context of natural science education are presented, which educators can use in the design of their educational activities. Emphasis is placed on students' alternative conceptions and how students can be guided towards conceptual change to acquire new knowledge. Detailed attention is given to curriculum programs, lesson organisation and design, as well as educational assessment, serving as a useful guide for earth science educators. One of the main themes of the book is the educational techniques that can be used in the classroom to lead students towards knowledge acquisition, skill development and the formation of attitudes and values. Furthermore, the book thoroughly analyses teaching with the use of digital technologies, presenting institutions that develop informal and non-formal forms of education, along with practices developed within them. Considering the contemporary framework of "Science with and for Society" in education, the earth sciences are connected to everyday life and society, from the local level to the global geopolitical stage.

description: The aim of the book “Gender, Science and Society:  Queer Readings of Human Subjugation” is to demonstrate how the exploitation of (human) nature as a commodity is part of a capitalist, racial, sexist, colonial and misanthropic scientific regime of truth. To support this argument, we seek to explore the relationship between sex, gender, race, class, science, submissiveness and power within the context of Western science. We aim to challenge science’s traditional Western white interpretations of sex, gender roles, sexuality and nature and to explore dominant ideologies of eugenics and ableism by examining the mechanisms of these power structures through a critical queer, cross-disciplinary, and anti-colonial approach. We also seek to challenge the scientific assumption that binary sex is natural as a resource for the perpetuation of Western civilisation and the promotion of a “healthy” and long-lasting international superior race that involves the subservience of any other “sex-racial” race. Our approach focuses on the historicisation of the Western white science’s interpretation of sex, gender, class, sexuality and nature. This historicisation involves a critical analysis of the terms used to define nature, ethics, sex, gender, race, normality and class, as well as disability, criminality, pathological sex and sexuality and how science, from eugenics to genetics, responds to these questions. To summarise our methodology, we propose a new field of research, exploring the relationship between sex, gender, sexuality, class, race, age, and ableism as well as the urgency to decolonise science, sexuality and gender.

description:
Migration and social pedagogy - the structure of relations between social process and phenomenon as well as a system and field of action in societies are now seen as a recognized normality in a migration society. According to the authors' view, the relationship between social pedagogy and immigration describes only a specific orientation for action that needs to be considered from a broader perspective. Heterogeneity as a horizontal issue is analyzed in socio-pedagogical contexts and especially in different fields of action. Socio-pedagogical theory opens a broader perspective on the relationship between individuals, with and without an immigrant background, and society.
Social pedagogy has often changed over the decades of immigration in Europe. It is always a reflection of socio-political developments. According to the historiography of immigration, which is usually referred to as a sequence of phases of different analysis regarding the policy of foreigners, the historical development of social pedagogy can also be interpreted as a sequence of social and socio-political discourses.
Social pedagogy is shaped by the contexts that are set by politics, society, science and their audiences through their respective narratives, expectations, changing theoretical foundations or individual needs. Therefore, it makes sense to integrate the lines of development of social pedagogy in the context of continuous forced migration into the history of global migration policy. This is consistently described as a sequence of overlapping and alternating phases. Social pedagogy has responded to this with different concepts. Such a classification is "realistic, structural and heuristic", i.e. it takes place only after the fact.

description:
This textbook can be seen as a prelude to Political Science. It is less loaded with specialized terminology and avoids academic jargon, compared to typical introductory textbooks. Instead, it is rich in examples and experiences from everyday life and, as far as possible, uses simple, unrefined language. In terms of content, it deals with all the fundamental issues and the main concepts and considerations of Political Science, in the fields of Comparative Political Analysis, Political Theory and International Relations. It gives emphasis on the American political system, but it is not limited to it.
“A Primer on Politics” explores the phenomenon of power in its various aspects. It provides a brief historical review of models of government from antiquity to the prevalence of modern democracy. Also, it defines the scope of political philosophy and its main themes.  Furthermore, the textbook presents the main political ideologies and analyses the forms of government with emphasis on democracy. It, also, explains the role of political culture, political communication, and interest groups in politics as well as approaching the phenomenon of political parties in relation to elections and electoral systems. Finally, it describes the distinction between executive, legislative and judicial powers and their relations. It discusses all aspects of economic policy and the main economic systems and it examines the major theories of international relations and the basic features of the international system.

description: The book seeks to highlight the challenges that the digital condition offers for Teaching and Learning history. After an introductory chapter referring to the transformations brought about by digitality in the Humanities, and especially in Historical Studies and Historiography, we focus on both the theoretical foundation of digital history education and its practical applications. At the theoretical level, it is argued that the use of digital technologies in education should be closely connected with the purposes, the learning outcomes, and the methodologies of the discipline to be taught.  Especially, the inclusion of digitality in History Education is based on the one hand in the epistemology of Didactics of History regarding Historical Thinking and on the other in its connection with critical citizenship in the modern digital world and the formation of digital citizenship. At the same time, the great challenges posed by digitalism for School History are highlighted. They have to do with the concept of the Active Audience, the Shared historical authority as well as the reduction of the distance between the producer and the user of history. The book consists of 12 chapters. All chapters have extensive Greek and foreign language bibliography and assessment activities. Chapters 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 are devoted to the use of general-purpose software and the Internet in the search, evaluation, organization and use of historical information and sources, participatory web technologies in conventional and distance historical education, in the history software by category of their theoretical basis as well as in the repositories of educational historical content such as Photodendro. Chapters 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12 shed light on the digital challenges of digital mapping, digital gamification, film history, mobile history and mobile literacy and finally digital storytelling always with reference to history education.

description:
This book first attempts a detailed discussion of the epistemological and methodological issues that accompanied the intense epistemological approaches developed during the early period of the trend known as the 'linguistic turn', which characterised the shift of cognitive interest from the sensory perception of knowledge to methods of linguistic analysis. According to the dominant view expressed in the context of this early period, all pragmatic questions could be answered by clarifying the questions concerning the meaning of linguistic sentences. Only through linguistic analysis could phenomena such as meaning, thought and the representation of the world be properly understood and clarified.
However, the treatment of language as an independent object of scientific observation and as a form of expression and conceptual delimitation of syntactic structures of meaning had ignored the social conditions of its use. This transition of epistemological issues to problems of linguistic expression called into question the establishment of a general scientific knowledge, independent of the comprehensible  patterns of the various social and cultural interpretive forms and more generally of a frame of reference, within which the collective subjects of scientific interpretation manifest themselves.

description: This study examines some emblematic, but also some lesser-known modern Greek prose works of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, to discuss the functions and representations of nature in these works from an ecological perspective. This perspective places the project within the framework of ecocriticism. After a presentation of the history and issues of this branch of environmental humanities, the individual chapters examine the works in their socio-cultural contexts, in the order of their chronological succession. Topics discussed are the political, ideological and economic presuppositions of interwar bourgeois love of nature; the distant idealization of nature in the intellectual nationalism of the 1930s generation; its ideological abuse in the service of eugenics in the same period; the identification of women with character in a movement that initially idealizes and eventually repels both in male writers and, in the opposite direction, the acceptance of the materiality and diversity of nature in women writers from the interwar to the early postwar years; the threat of nature's return as an oppressed but liberating Other in the aggressive urbanization of the 1960s; the end of the world as a consequence of rampant growth, individualism and competition and the possibility of salvation in the opening up, acceptance of fluidity and the connection of the human being to the whole of the natural realm. In this study, the hierarchical dichotomy of human/nature recurs consistently in many of the texts. In contrast, others highlight the dead ends to which this oppressive and devaluing division leads, as it becomes clear that humans are nature.

description:
Radio Art is an artistic field that emerges at the intersection of sonic art and radio. It originates from the radicalization of radio drama and poetry shaped significantly by electroacoustic music composers and media artists. Radio artists nowadays develop diverse approaches to narrativity and experimentation, creating works that explore sound and its relationship to language, culture and the environment. Radio Art seeks to challenge traditional notions of radio, considering broadcasting as an art form.
This textbook proposes an educational approach to Radio Art in Greece where this field is rather underdeveloped until now. Its primary goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of Radio Art's historical development and more specifically to examine the evolution of the morphological traits of radio works as a result of the technological, aesthetic, and social conditions that created them. A secondary objective is to present the essentials of an analytical system for Radio Art works based on the narrative function of their sonic material. The book is divided into two Parts. A detailed account of the evolution of Radio Art, including a basic overview of radio and radio drama, is presented in the First Part which is articulated in eight chapters (Chapters 1-8). In the Second Part (Chapters 9–11) a theoretical framework for Radio Art works is presented and a poly-parametric system for their narrative analysis is proposed.
The first nine chapters of this book are meant to support a complete undergraduate introductory course on the history and theory of Radio Art. The remaining chapters aim to further its study on a theoretical and analytical level which can be extended to a graduate course.
This book is addressed to students who follow academic courses related to or focusing on Radio Art. It can be also useful to electroacoustic music composers or, in general, sonic artists who wish to enrich their knowledge about Radio Art and expand their creative work towards this fascinating artistic discipline.

description:
This textbook deals with the phenomenon of civil wars in the modern era. These are conflicts, and wars, which do not pit society against an external enemy but which, on the contrary, unfold within it, turning one part of it against another.
Civil wars are not a phenomenon of our time. In all historical periods, we can see traces of conflicts to which we could fearlessly attribute the term. In ancient times, civil wars were a special field of political reflection, both in the Greek and Roman worlds. But in the modern era, from the dawn of the 19th century to our days, the phenomenon has acquired special characteristics as complex as our era itself.

Economic interests, class struggle and social injustices, conflicts within the ruling elites, generate this type of conflict. Ideologies, religions, and pragmatic or metaphysical visions come to "dress up" these oppositions and become the banners of the war between them.
This manual proposes the study of the civil wars of the modern era with a comparative approach, examining the common characteristics of the major differences of the most "classic" wars of the genre: the American (1861-1865), the Russian (1918-1922), the Spanish (1936-1939) and "ours", the Greek (1946-1949).

Through this comparative overview, we can first understand and understand the characteristics of civil wars, the circumstances in which they arise, their weight in national and world history, what they destroy and what they create.
Though it is not possible to exhaust, in the context of an educational textbook, such a complex phenomenon, we assume that through the reading and study of the present, the reader will have the first orientation for a subsequent deeper acquaintance with a phenomenon that is much discussed in our own time.

description: Non-destructive techniques constitute an integrated methodology for the diagnosis and classification of wear and tear, as well as for investigating the compatibility of materials in the conservation and restoration processes of cultural artworks. In the first chapter, an extensive reference is made to the nature and properties of the widely used pigments-pigments, as well as the manufacturing techniques used from antiquity, the Middle Ages and modern painting. The methods applied to the non-destructive characterization of materials are Fiber Optics Spectroscopy (UV-Vis-ΝIR), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy,  Digital Microscopy (DM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDX). In the second chapter, the non-destructive methods and techniques used in the study of cultural objects and monuments are listed. In the third chapter, the application of combined non-destructive methodology in case studies for the identification of pigments in historical frescoes, statues and figurines of Mycenaean and Cycladic art is presented. In this fourth chapter, the Medieval burial monument of the Prince of France Philippe Dagobert with traces of polychrome is studied. In the fifth chapter, the on-site examination of selected frescoes of the Daphni Monastery is described. In the sixth chapter, the methodology of non-destructive determination and identification of the pigments and the technique of applying them to the paintings of the popular painter Theofilos Hatzimichael is presented.

description: This laboratory guide  is addressed to undergraduate Computer Engineering students that attend a Computer Networking course. The book includes a series of laboratory exercises that aim at familiarising students with the operation of modern network devices. More specifically, students will gain experience in programming network devices in a simulation environment by using the freely distributed Packet Tracer simulator developed by Cisco. The Packet tracer tool allows the user to apply configuration procedures to network devices that are part of a computer network in a virtual environment. The exercises are designed for 2 (most of them) or 4-hour teaching periods. The exact duration varies depending on the extend of the discussion that will take place in the classroom. Moreover, the exercises are developed in such a way that can be performed by a student without supervision and with the simulator as the only requirement. In this guide several networking-related issues are analysed, such as: basic configuration of network devices (security configurations, remote access), IPv4 and IPv6 addressing and subnetting, static and dynamic routing, Access Control Lists (ACLs), Virtual LANs (VLANs), Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) IPv4 services (DHCP, NAT) and network security related issues. For all of the above subjects, network topologies are developed and the configuration procedures are described in detail in order for the system to be fully operational.

description: The book explores the concept of assessment in early childhood learning and development. Although there are different forms of assessment, it focuses on formative assessment considering its potential to enhance learning. The main argument of the book is that assessment should be linked to, reinforce, and extend learning and teaching. The effectiveness of the assessment process presupposes that the teacher can recognize and respond to learning, with the aim of promoting it. This challenge also constitutes the intention of the book: to support future teachers by offering conceptual tools and criteria to understand the concept of formative assessment, its purpose, the processes that determine it and the conditions that favour its application in practice, but also to question their own perceptions of assessment. In particular, the book attempts to answer questions such as: What is formative assessment? What are the purposes, and functions of formative assessment? What are its approaches? What exactly is assessed in terms of preschool children's learning and development and by what procedures? What is the role of the teacher, the child, and the family in the assessment process?

description: This book attempts an introduction to the most basic topics of Probability and Statistics, without requiring prior knowledge of these topics. Thus, intuition plays a primary role in the introduction of concepts and the development of methodology. Mathematical rigor is maintained wherever possible. In this context, the book consists of ten chapters, in which the most basic concepts and methodologies of Probability and Statistics unfold. In the last chapter, a recapitulation-epilogue of the book is attempted in which the methodologies of the previous chapters are applied and data and examples presented in them are analyzed with the help of the SPSS statistical package. This book was written to serve as an introductory aid for all those who wish to acquire an introductory knowledge of the most basic concepts and methodologies of Probability Theory and Statistics. The methodology is introduced, structured, developed and justified in an intuitive way, with the help of an example. The usual mathematical-formalistic formulation of the statistical model is not followed; it is presented with its intuitive perspective. Thus, although the book aims mainly to an audience with limited mathematical knowledge, it can also be used by an audience which is focused on mathematical science or the natural sciences in general, since the intuitive presentation of concepts and methodologies, which are followed in this book, may help to better understand them. This book, in no way, aspires to replace valuable books that are available in the Greek and international bibliography, some of which are mentioned in the recommended bibliography of the Chapters as well as in the overall recommended bibliography at the end of the book. It aspires to present the topics on which it focuses with the "language" of the authors, as it was formed and evolved from the many years of teaching of these topics to large audiences of students who focused their interest on various cognitive and research objects.

description: This textbook is divided into four main sections. The first section, titled “Audio” provides an introduction to audio signals and digital sound. It presents the main functions of the human auditory system and the fundamental concepts of psychoacoustics and spatial acoustics. The behavior of sound in open and closed spaces is described, along with basic concepts from the theory of signals and systems for the analysis and description of room acoustics. Additionally, it presents the most significant descriptors used in the analysis, processing, and recognition of audio signals. Furthermore, it discusses some major applications of Digital Sound and Acoustics Technology. In the second section, titled “Speech” the basic concepts and theories of digital speech processing are presented. Its aim is to design and implement basic classifiers for speech recognition, speaker identification, and other applications. Moreover, it provides an overview of the basic stages of text-to-speech conversion, along with an analysis of the technologies and algorithms that are proposed in the literature. The third section, titled “Music”, provides an introduction to musical signals and music information. It covers the structure of music information and the techniques for encoding musical signals. Furthermore, it introduces a relatively new research area known as Music Information Retrieval (MIR) and explores its main applications. Lastly, it presents a variety of algorithmic problems in the field of MIR. In the fourth and final part of the textbook, titled “Lab Exercises”, eleven indicative lab exercises/projects are presented. These exercises offer readers the opportunity to test and apply the concepts that were discussed in all previous chapters.

description:
This study aims to describe and critically analyse fundamental aspects of Giorgos Seferis's poetic theory, focusing on its connections and responses to the basic principles of Anglo-Saxon modernism. In this context, it also examines the interpretations, evaluations and popularisations of Seferis' theoretical contributions by modern and contemporary literary critics. The study focuses on four main concepts that are considered to be "keys" to Seferis's poetic theory: language, translation, myth and history. Special attention is paid to the strategy by which the Greek poet transforms and hybridises central concepts and practices of the Anglo-Saxon modernist paradigm (mainly the poetics of T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound), in order to negotiate them with selected elements of Greek cultural "tradition" and to adapt them to the limits of tolerance of Greek culture in the interwar and early postwar decades.
Individual chapters also attempt to shed light on the processes of critical validation and canonisation of the poet's theoretical elaborations, through which the construction of the theoretical matrix of Greek modernism was completed and normalised, both artistically and institutionally. In the course of this study, a wide range of textual evidence is critically examined. This material falls into four categories: a) essays, poems and other texts by G. Seferis (including letters, notes, diary entries, excerpts from interviews, etc.); b) poems, essays and other texts by G. Seferis (including letters, notes, diary entries, excerpts from interviews, etc.). ); b) poems, essays and other texts by key figures of Anglo-Saxon poetic modernism; c) poems and essays by other Greek poets and prose writers; and d) texts of modern and recent Greek and international literary criticism that reflect (and allow us to compare) the reception and normalisation of Anglo-Saxon modernism and of Seferis's theoretical concepts.

description: Chemical and biochemical processes can be found in our daily lives, in large industries, as well as in cutting-edge fields worldwide, such as the kinetics of drug action, the functioning of our stomach, increasing the octane number of gasoline, the production of plastics, synthesis of various chemicals, the action of enzymes and microbes etc. This multitude of applications of chemical and biochemical processes make this subject particularly interesting to study and understand. This book aspires to be a readily accessible and highly comprehensible introductory textbook to the Engineering of chemical reactions and chemical and biochemical processes as well as the chemical reactor design. It is targeted mainly to undergraduate students, although some chapters may also be used in postgraduate courses. It has been written aiming to provide all the necessary information so that it can be used as it is in the teaching of a semester course. The aim of this book, in addition to the knowledge and understanding of each subject discussed, is also the consolidation of knowledge through its application. For this reason, special emphasis has been placed on the integration of several solved examples and exercises in each chapter to enable the student to practice and apply his knowledge. Briefly, it includes the following sections: initially, the study of the kinetics of various homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, and then, the design of all types of homogeneous ideal chemical reactors, as well as their non-isothermal operation. It continues with the study of reactor cascades and the optimization of their operation. A presentation of heterogeneous catalytic and non-catalytic processes and reactors follows. Enzymatic and microbial reactions come next, and the content closes with the presentation of non-ideal reactors.

description:
Before humans left their first footprints in Africa, the Earth's surface was shaped solely by the natural geophysical processes of climate, tectonic uplift, volcanism and erosion, sediment transport and deposition. While these processes continue to shape the relief, human societies have increasingly acquired the ability to act as a new force of geomorphological change, adding to and interacting with pre-existing natural forces in shaping the relief through activities such as fires, the ploughing of land for agriculture, the construction of settlements, dams, mines, roads, and other infrastructure. Therefore, a full assessment and understanding of the formation and evolution of today's landforms requires an understanding of the anthropogenic processes that have contributed to their formation.
Applied Geomorphology focuses on geomorphological environments and the processes that involve societies. It includes the application of geomorphology to answer research questions of geomorphological importance to society and to find solutions to a variety of social-environmental problems affected by landforms and geomorphological processes. In other words, Applied Geomorphology can be defined as geomorphology at the service of society and man.
In this context, this book focuses mainly on applications of Geomorphology and on changes in the geomorphological environment due to human interventions, as well as on natural geomorphic processes that affect man. It aims to understand the changes brought about by anthropogenic activities in the geomorphological environment and to manage and assess risks such as floods and erosion.
The book analyses the main methods and techniques used in geomorphology, anthropogenic interventions and the alteration of the relief, the effects of urbanisation, and the assessment of geomorphological risks, such as erosion, floods and landslides. The interaction of man with the environment, and the effects of anthropogenic interventions on geomorphological phenomena and vice versa, are described. In addition, case studies from the Greek area are presented and analysed.
Overall, this book aims to contribute to a better understanding of the contribution of the human factor to the transformation of natural relief, the environmental impacts and the geomorphological hazards that can lead to a multitude of environmental changes with human implications.
