description:
“Human Rights: A Comparative Approach” encompasses a diverse array of human rights topics, thereby offering an expansive examination of the subject matter. This open-source e-book has been meticulously crafted to serve as an invaluable resource for the purpose of human rights education, aligning with the fundamental principle that education itself is a fundamental human right. Drawing upon the extensive experience garnered by the two authors throughout their tenure in academia, including interactions with both undergraduate and postgraduate students, this publication stands as a testament to their commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of human rights. Moreover, the content of this book has been significantly shaped by the discerning insights and concerns expressed by their audience, demonstrating a mutual dedication to effective human rights pedagogy and the ongoing evolution of human rights through the transformative influence of education.
The book consists of three parts. In Part A five chapters explore the philosophical and constitutional foundations of human rights; the definition, categories and generations of human rights; the UN human rights protection system and the regional human rights mechanisms. In Part B, five chapters explore the progressive realization of human rights with regard to highly politicized matters such as abortion, the right to die, terrorism, cultural rights, LGBTQ+ rights and disability rights. In Part C, three chapters examine emerging issues and their interplay with human rights: creative media and new technologies; climate change; and femicides. The final chapter explores the concept of the rights of future generations. The book concludes with two chapters dedicated to putting together online tools for human rights education and lesson plans for human rights trainers.

description: The book is an an electronic textbook that includes: 1) a presentation and discussion of the "theoretical" issues, 2) a study of database programming with interesting examples, and 3) a list of case studies characterized by a global and, as much as possible, interdisciplinary approach to database systems. It is addressed to undergraduate students and professional IT engineers who want to develop their skills in database application design and programming, as well as to postgraduate students of business administration, librarianship, archival and information studies, and in other fields, who are interested in applications of database systems. It also aims to solve data management problems and meet the needs of professionals in the field. The subject of the book is not only the study and exploitation of established directions, tools and technologies that are popular in the context of database systems, but also the new promising technologies, such as big data management. The book consists of twelve chapters written in such a way so that each one can be separately and independently read. Effort has been made so that even the chapter units, examples and topics can be studied (and tested on a computer) independently. The book's introduction includes suggestions for navigating the book's chapters and scenarios for using it in the context of one or two undergraduate semester courses.

description: The magic of poetic discourse, the inherent dynamics of language to reveal the essence of things is the source of inspiration and the starting point for an architectural design that serves human necessity and supports its aesthetic and meaningful realization. This book is a research project of interdisciplinary scope and multidisciplinary theoretical orientation. A study which examines the relationships, synergies and interactions, which arise or may arise, between the narrative immaterial space of literature and the material anthropogenic space, designed or not and vice-versa. The current research framework deals on the one hand with the possibility of deriving meaning and content from the literary prose representations of spaces (fictional and descriptive) during the process of architectural design, as an effective and valid analytical methodology, and on the other hand examines, by investigating particular cases, the creative challenge that the designed space can be read and experienced as a broad and diverse narrative. Since every architectural design is not simply a scientific mechanism for managing functional, technical and constructional issues, which can be resolved through scientific consideration, know-how and technology, but primarily constitutes a broad field of artistic creation and communication of meanings and ideas, in the context of which multiple myths and stories are mixed and individual and collective experiences are assembled into a whole. Concurrently, if the transformation of human experience, as proposed by the philosophy of technology, leads to a complex vision, which is based on multi-viewing and the subject's exposure to multiple screens under a constant barrage of stimuli, this particular study investigates the potential synergies between literary-fictional narrative, architectural design, and human habitation in light of interactive dynamic contents based on the use of current 3D digital scene synthesis and spatialization technologies.

uk: Право, економіка та суспільні науки

description: This book aims to clarify the meaning of cross-border cooperation, focusing on the European model and examining the specific factors and processes that lead or, conversely, emerge as obstacles to the deepening of cross-border cooperation and cross-border integration. It begins by presenting the different interpretations attributed to borders, aiming to highlight their multilevel importance. It then focuses on the conceptual clarification of the terms of regional integration and regional governance, leading to the distinction between cross-border cooperation and cross-border integration. Subsequently, the interest shifts almost exclusively to the European context and the evolution of cross-border cooperation, emphasizing on the model of Euroregions, its evolution and the contribution of non-state actors to it. Further on, various examples, both with positive and not so positive results are presented showcasing in practice the great diversity that exists in cross-border cooperation models. The book endeavors to highlight, on the one hand the institutional evolution of euroregions, the motivations behind cooperation and the path towards integration (top-down or vice versa), and on the other hand the issues that can hardly be overcome in this effort. In conclusion, in the chapters of this handbook, a detailed analysis of theoretical approaches to cross-border cooperation takes place, in order for the reader to understand in depth the motives, obstacles, theoretical bases and European contribution to what is called "cross-border integration". At a second level, this book aims to evaluate the role of Civil Society in promoting and consolidating cross-border cooperation. Through various case studies, the obstacles and accelerators of cross-border cooperation become more understandable for the reader.

The main scope of this textbook is to enhance readers' capabilities and skills in selecting the appropriate strategies for searching and retrieving information. Additionally, this textbook aims to familiarize its readers with the use of modern techniques and strategies for retrieving data and information from search engines, electronic resources, data banks, bibliographic databases and generally all kinds of databases. More specifically, this textbook initially (Introduction) sheds light on the concept of Information Retrieval Systems (IRS), their basic components and their utility. These include fundamental theoretical approaches to the scientific topic of Information Retrieval such as Boolean Algebra and Venn Diagrams (Chapter 1), as well as the theory behind the binary (Chapter 2) and vector (Chapter 3) information representation model adopted by an IRS. Subsequently, the methods and metrics of the evaluation of the IRSs are explained through practical examples (Chapter 4) such as the concepts of Precision, Recall, and their Harmonic Mean (F-Measure). At the same time, a set of search techniques and the related terminology that embraces them are presented through multiple examples, as well as the importance of the relevance feedback process of a query to IRSs (Chapter 5). In addition, examples are given regarding the utility and possibilities offered by modern search engine environments and how they rank their results (Chapter 6), while complementarily, the practical use of search engines in bibliographic/library databases is presented (Chapter 7). This textbook also aims to understand the importance of metadata and the Semantic Web within the evolution of Information Retrieval scientific topic in today's digital world. More specifically, readers can acquire basic knowledge such as the importance of describing metadata for web resources based on international standards, the linked data and their lifecycle, as well as the utility of ontologies and knowledge graphs in the describing process (Chapter 8).
Finally, this textbook offers the readers an integrated knowledge about the types of information resources, how to evaluate them, but also fundamental copyright issues that arise when the information is disseminated (Chapter 9).

description: This textbook presents contemporary theoretical and methodological approaches to the teaching of art, drawing on material from the  research of the author, that is based on arts-based educational research. Issues of identity of visual teachers are presented, and the phenomenon of convergence of Visual Arts and education is analyzed. Furthermore, the issue of teaching contemporary artistic practices is approached, and likewise, related, modern approaches to theory and practical teaching. Moreover, Ways of organizing didactic scenarios as well as the impact of new technologies on educational methodology are presented. Emphasis is given to the tool of visual notebooks, which offers reflection through the connection of speech and visual representation of meanings. Issues concerning the broader teaching of visual culture, as well as multimodality are analyzed. On the basis of the above, the question of visual literacy is approached. Furthermore, the teaching of art and visual culture is connected with critical pedagogy by examining and analyzing their inextricable connection. Finally, issues related to research methodology in art didactics are described, examining qualitative, mixed and arts-based methods, while the book concludes with a case study concerning my doctoral thesis that applied such an approach. The overall aim of this textbook is to make it clear to the students of the School of Fine Arts who are oriented to art education, that the identity of the visual artist and the teacher should be linked in a functional unity of hybrid character, which is also reflected in the proposed methodological approaches. Similarly, emphasis is placed on the inextricable relationship between language and image that are artificially separated in academic and especially in educational research. The final aim is to make it clear that the teaching of the image is also the teaching of thought, as Visual Education offers opportunities for sharpening perceptiveness, critical and reflective thinking, learning through personal exploration and discovery.

Virtues
Wisdom

uk: Гуманітарні науки

description:
The book examines the role the so-called ‘sophists’ on the one hand and Socrates on the other played in fifth-century Athenian intellectual life. It draws attention to their various contributions to philosophy. Following a current interpretative trend, the authors choose to treat Socrates as one of the many fifth-century teachers of wisdom, whom the historiography of philosophy, following the distinction between philosophy and sophistry that Plato and Aristotle introduced, presented unfavourably.
The structure of the chapters is thematic. Based on the extant evidence, the authors aim to draw attention to the questions which are raised by the sophists and to their possibly original contribution to philosophy.
The first two chapters deal with the social and historical background that gave rise to the so-called Sophistic Movement in fifth-century Athens and discuss questions of nomenclature. Chapters three to eight focus on individual questions: Language and communication; the implementation of argumentative skills in politics and its implication for theorizing politics; the criticism of pleonexia or greed; the criticism of traditional religion; theorizing language; Protagorean relativism. Chapters eleven to thirteen (as well as the Appendix) shift the discussion to Socrates. Chapter eleven draws attention to elements of Socrates’ argumentative practice that justify treating him as one of them and explains the need for Plato and Xenophon to ‘apologise’ to their teacher. By contrast, chapter twelve focuses on some typically Socratic and rather ‘non-Sophistic’ ideas that could justify his distinction from the ‘other Sophists’ (or invite us to reconsider our categories). Lastly, chapter thirteen and the appendix focus on two aspects of Socratic practice (the quest for definition and the role of aporia in philosophical investigation) that explain Socrates’ undisputed importance in the philosophical canon.

description:
The present book is an introduction to Human Factors / Cognitive Ergonomics for interactive systems design, coupling applied theories of cognition with design methodology. The book came as a need to provide a comprehensive guide in user centered design destined primarily to students in information technology, engineering
and design disciplines. This work is the culmination of many years of experience in teaching Human Factors / Ergonomics together with relevant research and professional practice. Along with established and contemporary academic literature, this experience allowed the collection and development of a wide variety of examples and case studies of real-world systems from home appliances to large scale critical systems that the authors have found effective for transferring knowledge to students in a hands-on, experiential and dialectic manner. The readers can either use the book as an introductory guide to human cognition, a methodological companion for the user centered design process or as a collection of examples and case studies to enrich their repertoire.

description: Macro and micro economic, structural, institutional and political dimensions of the Greek economy, in a timeframe of three (3) periods. A. 1995-2008 (a period of high economic growth, but with intensive problems of competitiveness and economic imbalances), B. 2009- 2013 (the Great Depression), C. 2014+ (structural policies for the rapid growth of the Greek economy). The analysis is not descriptive but is based on tools of economic theory & public choice i.e. economic analysis of decision mechanisms outside markets. The analysis also includes the influence, effects and content of economic policies arising from country's obligations to the creditors. Apart from macroeconomic issues, part I will focus on economic institutions (The Constitution, the efficiency of justice, education, economic analysis of corruption, etc.). At the microeconomic framework, structural changes are at the forefront of the analysis.

description: The book refers to the preservation of historical photographs and their collections, describing the main research procedure in the field of their conservation, as an effort of a holistic approach to their protection. The preservation of historical photographs is not particularly widespread in Greece, but in recent years several museums have managed and implemented policies to protect them. The book is structured in twelve chapters, where it first introduces the reader to the historical evolution of the camera obscura and the role it played in each society. At the same time, important events that took place in Western societies are described and their effect on the discovery of the permanent preservation of the photographic image, which is called the "discovery of photography". Also mentioned are the experiments carried out by various inventors, physicists, painters, photographers, chemists, etc. who created different techniques for acquiring photographic images. Then, the various techniques are presented, which were used so that the black and white photographs of that time have a more colorful effect using the toning and hand-coloring procedure. Also described is the prevailing technique of silver bromide gelatin (late 19th century to the present) and the procedures required to obtain a photographic image. The various areas of the preservation and conservation of historical photographs are extensively mentioned, such as the causes of their damage, the documentation of their preservation state, the preventive conservation, the conservation treatments, as well as the ways of their storage and display. Then, an attempt is made to present the digital procedures for capturing and applying digital tools to read the image or restore it. Finally, the vulnerability of historical photographs and their collections to natural disasters is described, giving examples of disasters and their prevention, rescue, and protection practices implemented by governments and private initiatives in various countries affected by natural disasters.

description: Rangelands are among the most valuable natural resources of Greece, both in terms of area, and contribution to the national economy and culture as well, while the development prospects are substantial. As a result, the need for thorough consideration of these valuable ecosystems is essential. The science that deals with rangelands is called Rangeland Science (RS). The RS as applied science is divided into two major branches: the Rangeland Ecology, which offers the principles of ecological operation of rangeland ecosystems and Rangeland Management, which in light of ecological principles and the needs of modern man provides technical solutions for their sustainable management. Accordingly, this book hopes to cover both branches of RS. In particular, the first part analyzes the basic principles of Rangeland Ecology and the second develops the applied aspect of Rangeland Management. Emphasis is given to modern approaches in applied case studies.

description: The present textbook contains, at least to a big extent, the standard topics of an introduction to Complex Analysis that are usually taught in a one-semester undergraduate course for Mathematics students.  In the first chapter the field of complex numbers as well as its representation by the complex plane is introduced as an extension of the field of the real numbers, and the related algebraic and geometric properties are presented. Also, the functions of integer power and the exponential function as well as their inverse functions are studied. In the second chapter the topology of the complex plane is introduced and the limits of sequences and functions are discussed as well as the continuity of the latter. The third chapter addresses the notion of complex differentiability (holomorphy) of a complex function and its relation to the differentiability of the corresponding vector field in the two-dimensional Euclidean space. Some basic facts about conformal mappings are also presented as well as the needed notions about curves in the plane. The subject of the fourth chapter are power series. Their holomorphy is proven and the notion of an analytic function as a function that can be expanded locally into a power series is introduced, implying thus its holomorphy. Also, the expansions into power series for the most fundamental functions are given. In the fifth chapter the contour (aka line or path) integrals of complex functions are studied and Cauchy’s integration theory is presented, culminating in the Representation Theorem of Cauchy-Taylor (in short: holomorphic functions are analytic) and its consequences. Finally, the sixth chapter is concerned with isolated singularities, Laurent series and residues and their applications.

description: This textbook covers three important areas of combinatorics: enumeration, graph theory and design theory. Within Enumeration, topics related to Basic Techniques, Transpositions, Combinations, the Binomial Theorem, Issues of Amplification and Combinatorial Proofs, Basic Counting Techniques, Counting by Repetition, Induction and Recursion, and Generating Functions are considered. It is well known that Graph Theory is, in itself, a vast field of knowledge in Discrete Mathematics. However, basic and introductory topics are covered here, such as Definitions and Symbolisms, Issues of Isomorphisms and Automorphisms, Graph Crossings (Traces, Walks, Paths and Circles), Eulerian Rounds and Traces, Hamiltonian Paths and Circles, Trees, as well as Coloring and Flat Graphs. Finally, in the context of Design Theory, the following are considered topics on Latin Squares, Group Designs, Steiner and Kirkman Systems, and Error Correction Codes. The text is concise yet analytical in the didactic sense, as it not only explains in detail a wide range of topics in Combinatorics, but also includes numerous examples and exercises, many of which are accompanied by their solutions.

description: Aircraft control systems, whether conventional or automatic, are an integral part of aircraft design. Everyone involved in aircraft design or maintenance must have at least a basic understanding of how these systems work. The purpose of the textbook "Aircraft Control Systems" is to convey this knowledge in a comprehensive and understandable manner. The first chapter provides an overview of the basic principles of aerodynamics necessary for a complete understanding of the operating mechanisms of control systems. The second chapter presents the conventional methods of aircraft control through the movement of appropriate surfaces. The third chapter thoroughly analyzes static longitudinal and lateral-directional stability and the factors that determine it. The fourth chapter defines the linear and non-linear equations of aircraft motion. The fifth chapter presents the modeling of motion through aircraft transfer functions together with the characteristics of dynamic stability. The sixth chapter briefly describes the concept of flight performance. The seventh chapter presents a summary of the basic concepts of classical automatic control theory with an emphasis on the root locus method. The eighth chapter provides examples of adding artificial stability to improve flight performance. The ninth chapter presents the design of simple automatic pilots and describes the basic principles of the ILS system. The tenth chapter analyzes the basic concepts of state space modeling. The eleventh and final chapter applies these concepts to aircraft motion modeling and the design of automatic control systems. In the eleventh and final chapter these concepts are  applied to aircraft motion modelling and to the design of automatic control systems.

description: The topic of the book is the development of classical theory in Mathematical Analysis concerning real and vector functions of several real variables. Its aim is to introduce and rigorously mathematically establish the relevant classical concepts, namely the continuity and differentiability of functions of multiple variables, the definition of the multiple integral according to Riemann, line and surface integrals of scalar and vector functions, and the proof of the classical theorems of multivariable integral calculus, specifically Green's, Stokes', and Gauss' theorems. The intended audience is primarily Mathematics students, but it also aspires to serve as a reference work on the discussed topics for any other interested party, be they Mathematicians, Physical Scientists, or Engineers, whether they are students, instructors, or researchers. The material is part of the mandatory curriculum for students in mathematics departments, schools of physical sciences, and engineering schools, and it presupposes knowledge of the related theory concerning real functions of a single real variable. It also forms the basis for courses in Differential Geometry, Partial Differential Equations, and Applied Mathematics, as well as the majority of theoretical courses in Physical or Engineering Sciences. The book can also be used as a reference work for more theoretical topics, and thus it can be useful for teaching at a more applied level, focusing more on application and interpretation of the relevant concepts and theorems from a geometric and physical perspective with numerous examples, exercises, and applications.

description: This book is addressed to undergraduate medical students and has been written by renowned doctors in Greece and abroad, with many years of experience. Its purpose is to impart basic knowledge concerning the management of the Oncology patient. The knowledge is now necessary for every future doctor, as more and more often he will encounter patients suffering from neoplastic diseases. The book includes updated data on the molecular biology of cancer, epidemiology, and new diagnostic and imaging techniques presented by the pathologist and actinologist side. Fundamental principles are also given regarding chemotherapy, hormone therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and surgical and radiation oncology. Importance is given to the treatment of emergencies that often arise in oncology patients. It also presents how these patients should be treated in the final stage by applying the rules of palliative treatment. The last chapter gives instructions for performing screening for the most common malignancies with prevention and cure. We tried to make it a textbook without many details and obscure terms so that it would be understandable to undergraduate students. The book "Principles of Clinical Oncology of solid tumors" enables students to be equipped with the necessary knowledge to easily understand the needs and priorities in the daily treatment of the oncology patient.

description: The book examines recent developments on the international political and economic scene in the context of the emergence of new states such as Brazil, India and China. It focuses on the ways in which a number of developing states have managed to significantly strengthen their positions on the global stage, leading to a de facto reorganization of the system of global governance. It focuses on the economic and political choices made by these states in recent decades and how the global environment has favoured their emergence. At the same time, it studies the functioning and especially the decision-making within a range of global governance institutions such as the UN, the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank as well as the G-7 and the more recent G-20. It covers the reasons why emerging powers have emerged as major actors in the global system in the current period, the role of economic crises on the international scene, the regional choices of these states and their outcomes, and the ways in which international organisations and institutions are being transformed by this new phenomenon.

description:
Optics is the name of the branch of Physics that studies the behavior and properties of light, while at the same time describes the phenomena that govern the interaction of light with matter. However, since the visible perception of space and matter is made with lenses located in the organs of vision, the eyes, the main object of study of optics is also the optical media (mirror, lens, optical fiber, etc.) and instruments (camera, microscope, telescope, periscope, etc.).
This is how Optical Technology has been developed with the aim of providing solutions and aids to the eye that suffers from visual problems and sometimes from systemic diseases that affect the eye. In this book an attempt is made to cover every point and aspect of an optician’s work. In adittion to this the devices and the organization of the individual tasks in an optical laboratory is also presented. At the same time in each chapter, theoretical information is given in order to assist the optician understand and deal with the problem in a better way and thus to enable him help the patient more effectively.

description: The present volume, with subtitle From the classical period to the 21st century, is the second part of the two-volume textbook with the general title Music in Italy from medieval times to the 21st century. The second volume unfolds in 11 chapters, covering music in Italy from the period of the common practice to the modern tendencies of the 21st century, while throwing into relief the interactions of Italian music with important European musical currents. The historical narrative incorporates recent research findings that have thrown light on lesser-known aspects of Italian music during the early modern period, such as the corpus of Italian orchestral music of the 18th century.  The volume unfolds in three large sections. The first section, “The classical period”, focuses on the successive operatic reforms of the 18th century, as well as on the developments that take place in instrumental music, including the interactions between the Italian school and the rising Austro-German school of instrumental composition. The section “Romanticism” explores music in the long 19th century. The four chapters investigate the impact of literary romanticism on operatic subjects, orchestral writing, and the status of musicians; Italian composers from Rossini to Puccini; the operatic institutions; and the thorny issue of censorship that troubled Italian opera of the 19th century. The last section, “Contemporary music”, focuses on Italian music of the 20th and 21st centuries. The three chapters of this section bring forth important figures of Italian contemporary music; the political circumstances that shaped much music making during the 20th century; and aspects of the Italian musical avant-garde in the fields of electronic music and film music.

description: The book covers the design, implementation and analysis of some of the most well-known data structures in the literature of informatics and computer science, such as, for example, the stack, the queue, the deque, the list (implemented using an array or pointers), the skip list, several hash table methods, the binary tree (including the binary search tree, the treap, the scapegoat tree and the red-black tree), the heap (including the binary heap and the randomized meldable heap), the graph (including its representation by a matrix or as a collection of lists), some specialised data structures for integers (including various forms of binary digital trees), the B-tree, etc. The algorithms for implementing the data structures are given in pseudocode (on the basis of the Python programming language) and in the C++ and Java programming languages. The book is organised into 14 chapters and can adequately cover a 13-week academic semester for the "Data Structures" undergraduate course. In addition, some chapters of the book can be taught at a more advanced stage of the academic curriculum, including in the context of relevant postgraduate courses. The book provides the student with the necessary background for the effective use of the data structures in a wide range of application domains in informatics and computer science. The material of the book aims to enable students to analyse the performance of data structures, to compare their efficiency and suitability for solving various problems, to design complex and application-specific data structures, and to implement them with efficient algorithms in the programming language of their choice.

description: The book studies the Europeanization of the Western Balkan countries. Unlike technical studies and EU reports, the book is not confined to registering and assessing the current progress in the accession process of the Western Balkan countries. Instead, it aims to familiarize the reader with contemporary history, prevailing social, national, and cultural perceptions, and the main political and economic choices of the countries in the region. In other words, the book attempts to explain the origins and the causes of the long-standing challenges to the Europeanization of the Western Balkans. The book sheds light on the historical process of nation-building in the region and brings to the fore some of the dominant national myths that have been constructed (and re-constructed) over time. This way, it analyses the historical roots of contemporary conflicts in the Western Balkans and explains each side’s perceptions and aspirations. Similarly, it examines the region's troublesome political and economic transition after the end of the Cold War in the adverse environment generated by the dissolution of Yugoslavia and the outbreak of successive armed conflicts. Therefore, it accounts for the delay in consolidating democracy in the Western Balkan countries. At the same time, it examines the engagement in regional affairs of the international community, which has played a decisive role over the last three decades. Overall, the book offers a comprehensive and multifaceted analysis of contemporary Western Balkan history, focusing on state-building, conflict resolution, and reform implementation challenges on the path to the region’s full integration into the EU structures.

description: This monograph deals with the Revolution of 1821 in Crete in two levels. At the first level, an attempt is made to reconstruct the events from the beginning of the revolution in 1821 until its cessation in 1830. At this level, the revolution in Crete is related to the evolution of the revolution in mainland Greece. The context of Ottoman Crete at the eve of the revolution is presented, as well as the two distinct episodes of the revolutionary struggle (1821-1824, 1825-1830). At the second level, the specific revolutionary event is taken as a case study to examine specific dimensions of a revolutionary process, such as the dialectical relationship between war and state formation, the conditions and limits of a war economy, and the dynamics that develop in the context of a revolution. At this level, our subject of study is based on theories of political science and historical sociology. The mechanisms of the war economy, logistics and recruiting, the conduct of war on land and sea, the formation of power institutions and the relations between local and central administration are separately presented. A chronology of events, bibliographic guide and documents appendix are also included.

description:
The monograph attempts to cover an existing gap in the domestic literature on the topic of economic globalization. It examines critically key issues and alternative aspects of globalization from the perspective of economic geography.
Globalization processes have highlighted the importance of geographical perspective and differentiation, challenging predictions of the so-called “death of geography”. Structural features of geography, such as the synthetic approach and the combined study of phenomena on different scales, ensure a fuller understanding of the evolving mechanisms that are intertwined with places, institutions, individual enterprises, traditions and practices. Contemporary processes of globalization affect even spatially protected production systems with unprecedented speed and intensity. However, places are not passive recipients of global challenges but respond to the new dynamics and co-shape developments. It is precisely this evolving dialectical relationship between the global and the local that constitutes the main axis of the book. Separate chapters deal with issues that preoccupy the current debate on globalization and economic interdependence. Apart from the introductory chapter, which presents the historical evolution and the main parameters revolving the phenomenon of globalization and the concluding chapter, which discusses the current debates on the prospects of it, the remaining eight chapters of the textbook are divided into three parts. The first part frames the discussion and examines the role of global chains and networks, the digital transformation and the cities in the changing international environment. The second part addresses the dramatic effects of digital technologies on labour and entrepreneurship. The third part focuses on the intertwining of the global and the local processes in the agri-food sector.

description: Nowadays urban design can not exist without debate about the future and the role of cities,. In addition to that it has to be intertwined with the future of the planet. The book briefly presents the primary qualities and evaluation criteria of urban projects for the development, completion or repair of parts of settlements and cities, as they interact with planetary processes. It is a handbook that brings together introductory theoretical knowledge and techniques for the processes of urban design, at the intermediate scale between architecture and urban planning. It encapsulates a good number of references to primary theoretical considerations and influential developments in the way that the field of urban design has been defined as a practice and as an interdisciplinary subject until now, and in the context of sustainability. As a handbook, its aim is to establish the design practice systematically and analytically, "pragmatically" and creatively at the same time, in the necessary fields of scientific and technical consideration, in order to produce urban spaces that are liveable, that is, that enjoy wide recognition, successful use, environmental and ecological contribution with reference to place, by and for people and their communities. It doesn’t seek to cover completely the scope of the creative or compositional design process, since this can have various sources of creativity. However, it sets the necessary conditions for design gestures with reference mainly to the cities of the European South and in particular to the Greek cities. This handbook is structured in self-contained chapters that refer to the different aspects of urban design studies, drawing on urban morphology, strategic urban planning, environmental planning, architecture and city governance. Each chapter includes educational material, exercises and activities, bibliography and sources for further in-depth study, and refers to a multitude of more specific instructions, applications and precedents.

description: This book examines translated texts which appear in Thessaloniki’s public spaces from the perspective of an interdisciplinary approach, combining methods from sociolinguistics and the sociology of translation. Its main purpose is to look into the social aspects of this particular translation phenomenon which can be viewed all around us, but has not hitherto received due academic attention. It is the first book which deals with this particular topic and the research it presents is the only contribution to the literature which includes authentic Greek data. Firstly, the term translation landscape is introduced and its theoretical conception discussed which derives from contemporary ethnographic research in sociolinguistics, adapted so as to be applicable to the realities of translation. The potential for collaboration between sociolinguistics and translation studies in relation to the translation landscape is also highlighted, not least because the phenomenon in question is often associated with non-professional translation, serving a variety of communicative and social purposes. The data’s analytical categories are then presented as well as the ways in which the book’s approach can be applied. For instance, the book includes references to the analysis of speech acts which have been translated from Greek into English, the identity of the translator and the ways in which politeness phenomena have been rendered between the source and target languages. Finally, the relationship between translation and translanguaging in the context of the translation landscape is also discussed.

description: Electronic Government is a recent interdisciplinary scientific field. Therefore, a holistic treatment of Electronic Government should include constitutional, legal, organizational, and technological aspects to name only a few. In addition, Electronic Government is important to academicians and researchers, however, it mainly has a practical orientation. It is thus important that research results are used in the field from pertinent authorities to improve public services and governance as a whole. This book focuses mainly on conceptual and technological aspects and less on other dimensions of Electronic Government, as these evolve in the member states of the European Union, having an emphasis on Greece. It covers a wide range of issues including the Electronic Government institutional framework, the concept of public service, public service provision, open government data, electronic participation, one-stop government and interoperability. In addition, several relevant technologies are presented, e.g. BPMN, APIs, Linked Open Data and Artificial Intelligence, with an emphasis on their exploitation in the public sector. This book is mainly addressed to undergraduate and graduate students of programs that are related to information and computer science. However, the largest part of the book does not require a technical background, hence it can be read by anyone interested in the field of Electronic Government.

description: The book consists of 8 chapters. In the Introduction the basic concepts of quantitative analysis are presented: mass and energy balances, solutions, pollutant degradation kinetics, exchange at the air-water interface and adsorption at the sediment-water interface. Chapter 1 discusses the evolution of environmental concepts and institutions: from Adam Smith to the Club of Rome, and the road to Kyoto. Some important international conferences on the protection of the planet are also discussed. Chapter 2 focuses on some serious international environmental problems, such as acid rain, ozone layer depletion, global warming, loss of biodiversity, desertification and deforestation and, finally, the problem of waste management in the nuclear industry. Chapter 3 develops the economics of the environment: balance of costs and environmental impacts, quality indicators, pollution limits, and ecosystem carrying capacity. It explains why, from a purely economic point of view, the complete elimination of externalities is neither practical nor desirable. Chapter 4 is devoted to the financial viability of installations, cost-benefit analyses, government interventions and subsidies. Methods of assessing environmental costs, pollution prevention, and pollution permit schemes are discussed. Finally, a simple comparative theory favouring the conservation of wonders of nature is given. Chapter 5, with examples of reforestation and nuclear waste storage projects, points out the unfair treatment to future generations by standard discounting because it almost annihilates time-distant costs, and introduces modified discounting that favours projects with long-term benefits. Chapter 6 describes the evolution of the legal framework for environmental protection in Greece. It presents the corresponding legislation of the European Union and the evolution of the practice of Environmental Impact Assessments. Problems in the implementation of the bill are commented on. Chapter 7 develops four applications of environmental management using mathematical models: management of fishing zones, management of fossil fuel reserves, management of lakes, and management of combined sewer overflows.

Στο βιβλίο αυτό παρουσιάζεται συνοπτικά ο τρόπος θεωρητικής μελέτης αλλά και εργαστηριακής-πειραματικής υλοποίησης ηλεκτρονικών κυκλωμάτων. Στόχος του είναι, οι φοιτητές να κατανοήσουν τη λειτουργία, απλών αλλά και πιο σύνθετων, κυκλωμάτων, να τα υλοποιήσουν στο εργαστήριο και να μελετήσουν τα χαρακτηριστικά τους.

Στα εισαγωγικά κεφάλαια του βιβλίου παρουσιάζονται τα βασικά ηλεκτρονικά στοιχεία καθώς και κάποια είδη σημάτων και οι ιδιότητες τους, τα οποία αποτελούν την απαραίτητη βασική γνώση, για τη μελέτη της λειτουργίας των ηλεκτρονικών κυκλωμάτων, στο εργαστήριο. Έτσι, εξετάζονται απλά και βασικά ηλεκτρονικά κυκλώματα, τα οποία πρέπει να γνωρίζει και να μπορεί να κατανοεί κάθε φοιτητής που έχει παρακολουθήσει ένα βασικό μάθημα “Ηλεκτρονικής”, καθώς και πολύ πιο σύνθετα, τα οποία πρέπει να μπορεί να αντιλαμβάνεται και να επιλύει κάποιος ο οποίος έχει επιλέξει να ακολουθήσει συγκεκριμένη επιστημονική κατεύθυνση σχετική με την ηλεκτρονική Φυσική.

Πιο συγκεκριμένα, στο βιβλίο αυτό, αφού παρουσιάζεται και αναλύεται, η λειτουργία βασικών ηλεκτρονικών στοιχείων, μελετώνται κυκλώματα με διόδους, με τρανζίστορ επαφής, με τελεστικούς ενισχυτές και με τρανζίστορ επίδρασης πεδίου. Επίσης εξετάζονται από απλά ψηφιακά κυκλώματα έως πιο σύνθετα π.χ. flip-flop. Όλα τα κυκλώματα αναλύονται θεωρητικά ενώ παρουσιάζεται και ο τρόπος της εργαστηριακής υλοποίησης τους.

description: The first chapter is a reminder of basic notions from General Topology. In the second chapter quotient spaces are studied, a concise introduction to topological manifolds is given and the classical classification of compact surfaces is presented. In the third chapter topological groups and group actions on topological spaces are studied, with emphasis on the useful notion of even actions. The fourth chapter is an introduction to homotopy of maps, fundamental groups of topological spaces and homotopy equivalence. In the fifth chapter simply connected spaces, contractible spaces, deformation retractions and strong deformation retractions are introduced and the proof that topological groups have abelian fundamental groups is given. The sixth and seventh chapters introduce coverings, liftings of maps and homotopies, the monodromy action, universal covering spaces, hierarchies and automorphisms of coverings, even actions and normal coverings. The eighth chapter introduces Singular Homology. Homology groups of topological spaces and homomorphisms induced by continuous maps are studied and the homotopy invariance of homology is proven. In the ninth chapter higher homotopy groups are introduced and the connection between homotopy and homology is presented via the Hurewicz Theorem. Also, using the Mayer-Vietoris sequence, the homology groups of spheres are calculated. In the tenth chapter, important theorems in Algebraic Topology are proven, namely Invariance of Dimension, the Hairy Ball Theorem and the Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem. The study of embeddings of spheres into spheres also establishes Invariance of Domain and the Jordan-Brouwer Theorem. The general Seifert-Van Kampen Theorem is stated and Grothendieck’s proof of a special case is given. The fundamental groups of compact surfaces are calculated, using basic tools from Combinatorial Group Theory. Finally, a concise reference is made to foundational issues, like the word problem, the isomorphism problem and the homeomorphism problem.

description: This book is an introductory presentation of the philosophy of Seneca the Younger, one of the most important Roman writers and exponents of Stoicism in the Imperial era. Through a variety of excerpts, anthologized in nine thematic units, the book exposes the Stoic art of life, which focuses on the eradication of passions, self-control, the release from the fear of death, the disengagement from material goods, the creative use of time, so that individuals can attain virtue, peace of mind and internal satisfaction. These features, which constitute the portrait of the Stoic sage in Seneca's philosophical treatises, remain at the centre of the quests of modern people and contemporary culture where the teachings of Stoicism have been found to have a common ground with psychotherapy and similar practices. Thus, the practical wisdom of Seneca, a man who was often criticized by his contemporaries and later scholars for failing to respond to the challenges of his time as an advisor of the emperor Nero, is of particular interest since many of his concerns are largely related not only to the politico-social and literary elite of the early Roman Empire but also to what we nowadays approach as western civilization. All Latin passages are accompanied by an introductory essay and a translation followed by grammatical and interpretive notes. In contrast, at the end of the book, there is a supplement of Latin-Greek vocabulary and an index locorum.

description:
This book is a selection of teaching material for the teaching of five postgraduate-level courses, which was initially gathered and cognitively organized in three volumes. The scattered original material today is presented renewed in this volume and intended for
postgraduate students that are graduates of Humanities, who wish to deal with the scientific field of Computational Linguistics and its applications (Natural Language Processing). The content of this book is structured in twelve chapters. The first five chapters cover those topics that are a prerequisite for creating quality Natural Language Processing software (and more). That is, these chapters mainly cover issues of preparing a software creation project, such as the issues of project organization and management, recording of procedures, methods, options and results, as well as the quality control of all previous ones. Because this knowledge of the above topics cultivates a work culture of total quality, it is considered here that their teaching should precede, contrary to what may happen in other corresponding manuals, where these topics usually follow. The remaining chapters mainly cover the methodological issues of the realization of Natural Language Processing software products, with the rationale that every software application (regardless of the field) consists of three basic components: (a) the data and their management, (b) the processing algorithms of the data, as well as (c) the interaction of the user with the information system, through the interface environment.

description: Hemoglobin is the red protein of erythrocytes which, through its highly specialized structure, transports the oxygen of the air from the lungs to the tissues and organs.Each hemoglobin molecule consists of two α- and 2 non-α chains. The information for the synthesis of hemoglobin is contained in the respective genes. There are different types of hemoglobin. The globin genes can suffer various damages that bring about either a reduction in synthesis or various variations of its structure accompanied by new properties, often harmful to the organism.These situations are important both for the patients and for the Health Service Delivery System. Consequently, they are an important chapter in the Medical Curriculum. The proposed book is intended to assist in the teaching of hemoglobinopathies by systematically covering in 15 chapters (a) the structure and function of the various types of hemoglobin, (b) the genes that direct its synthesis, and (c) the molecular disorders that result in morbid situations (Chapters 1-3). In the following chapters, the pathophysiology and the clinical picture that characterizes each of them are described in detail. In particular, chapters 4-10 deal with the thalassemias, where the damage results in a reduction of α- or β-chains resulting in severe, chronic and incurable anemia, while chapters 11-14 cover sickle cell disease, another severe hemoglobinopathy characterized by unbearable pain for life. Each set includes information about the symptoms and findings of the respective pathological conditions, the imposed conventional treatment, as well as the efforts made for radical treatment utilizing recent technological advances. Finally, chapter 15 refers to other variations of hemoglobin, which give it strange, sometimes beneficial, sometimes harmful and sometimes indifferent functional properties.

description: The present monograph attempts an educational approach to entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship, associated to innovation, is a concept that has attracted the interest of economic theory, among others, in the last three decades through the new economic paradigm that is the knowledge economy. The first chapter defines entrepreneurship as a teaching subject, i.e. suitable for teaching particularly in an academic environment. Relevant definitions and approaches are given which have changed from the original redefinition of entrepreneurship in the early 00s, where human behavior was considered as inherently influencing the phenomenon, to the present day, where entrepreneurship is considered as a mindset, a competence, design and science of the artificial. Policies which have supported and continue supporting entrepreneurship education are then presented as well as the entrepreneurial learning which underlies the behavior of the entrepreneur and is the main objective of entrepreneurship education. Chapter four discusses open problems that the subject matter poses to standard instructional design, and in particular on the articulation of learning objectives relating to knowledge, skills and attitudes. This chapter also includes a critical perspective on entrepreneurship education. Chapter five presents basic learning theories on which entrepreneurship teaching can be based in a consistent and understandable way for educators. Chapter six discusses informal and non-formal learning in entrepreneurship and how this has also influenced formal entrepreneurship education. Finally, chapter seven presents issues and methods of evaluating entrepreneurship education as well as capturing its overall impact on learners. The final chapter summarizes the conclusions of the volume and discusses the current and future perspectives of entrepreneurship education. The educational approach to entrepreneurship is of concern to educators at all levels, but at the same time it identifies the complex phenomenon of entrepreneurship by illuminating both its known didactic aspects and any less known ones.

description: The book “Anthropos-Space-Ekistics: Planning Directions of Human Settlements in Greece” elaborates on the relationship between these three elements during the planning process. Emphasis is placed on the degree of influence of the political will in forming planning directions for the residential network of Greece. It is a guidance manual where basic notions such as space, place, city, settlement, and neighbourhood are clarified for the readers to better understand their meanings and their role during the planning process; only in that way could it be possible for them to realize its contribution in forming the space by applying existing methods in various scales with particular interest to be put in local scale. Through the historical review of settlements and cities as a system of concentration of (a)  population and (b) activities and transportation network, the historical, geographical, and architectural identity as well as the uniqueness of each place are highlighted. By analysing the theoretical ground as well as the legislative and the methodological framework of design issues for human settlements, in the European and Greek area, limitations and barriers that arise on a case-by-case basis may come to the fore. For Greece, the historical reference presents the evolution and structure of the residential network of Greece with the growth of urban centres, mainly in Athens, revealing challenges of sustainable development.

description: The book examines the basic models of Industrial Organization. Industrial Organization is the branch of Microeconomics that studies the behavior of firms in imperfectly competitive markets. Imperfectly competitive markets cover the area between the two extreme models of Microeconomics: those of the perfect competition and the monopoly. In perfect competitive markets there many firms, each with a negligible market share. As a result, firms accept the price of the product as a given. In a monopoly market, there is a single firm that sets the price to maximize its profits. In imperfectly competitive markets there is strategic interdependence between the firms that participate in them. That is, the choices made by one firm affect the choices of all other firms in the same market. In the following pages we mainly deal with duopoly markets. We examine markets in which two firms produce identical products and either choose quantities or prices. Their decisions may be either simultaneous or sequential. We also examine models in which the products are differentiated either horizontally or vertically.

Those interested in leveraging modern software like Fusion will find it particularly beneficial. The textbook is divided into ten chapters. The first two chapters exclusively focus on two-dimensional sketch design. The process of creating sketches is a necessary step for three-dimensional geometry creation. Specifically, Chapter 1 details all the commands of two-dimensional sketch design and modification commands. Chapter 2 is dedicated to two-dimensional parametric design, using either geometric or dimensional constraints. Chapter 3 provides an introduction to 3D design, covering all known commands for three-dimensional modeling through examples. In Chapter 4, all modification commands for three-dimensional models are analyzed, such as transformation commands for solid models or commands for creating local modifications. Chapter 5 presents, through examples, the process of designing and editing mesh models. Chapter 6 thoroughly explains commands for creating surface models from sketches or using basic surface models. The available tools for modifying surface models are also discussed in the latter part of the chapter. In Chapter 7, the process and available tools for creating assembly models are presented. Chapter 8 introduces the process of programming 3D models in CAM environment. It covers the entire model preparation process, tool selection for machining, and all two-dimensional and three-dimensional machining operations. In Chapter 9, the concept of generative design is analyzed, along with the process of conducting a relevant study. The final chapter, Chapter 10, presents the available tools for creating technical drawings.

description: Το προτεινόμενο βιβλίο θα αποτελέσει συμπληρωματικό βοήθημα για την εμπέδωση του μαθήματος της Γενικής Ανόργανης Χημείας. Είναι προφανές ότι η Γενική Ανόργανη Χημεία δεν απευθύνεται αποκλειστικά σε χημικούς, αφού επιστήμονες πολλών ειδικοτήτων, όπως μηχανικοί και τεχνολόγοι, αντλούν ολοένα και περισσότερο στοιχεία για την πρόοδο των εργασιών τους. Με το παραπάνω σκεπτικό, το βιβλίο αυτό θα γραφτεί με απλότητα και σαφήνεια, ώστε να ωφελήσει τους νεοεισερχόμενους σπουδαστές από διαφορετικές σχολές. Η δημιουργία τράπεζας ερωτήσεων- ασκήσεων - προβλημάτων στην Ανόργανη Χημεία έχει διπλό όφελος. Πρώτον υποβοηθεί τους σπουδαστές στην ευχερέστερη ανάγνωση, κατανόηση και εμπέδωση του μαθήματος. Δεύτερον διευκολύνει τους διδάσκοντες, αφού μπορεί να αποτελέσει τη βάση μιας πλούσιας πηγής θεμάτων για την εξέταση των σπουδαστών. Στο Α΄ μέρος θα προτάσσεται επιγραμματικά η θεωρία. Στο Β’ μέρος του βιβλίου θα καταγραφούν ερωτήσεις κλειστού τύπου (πολλαπλής επιλογής, σωστού-λάθους) και ερωτήσεις ανοικτού τύπου (ανάπτυξης, σύντομης απάντησης και υπολογιστικά προβλήματα). Σε κάθε κεφάλαιο θα χαράσσονται αρχικά οι στόχοι, ενώ η ακολουθούμενη ροή των ερωτήσεων ταξινομείται ανά τύπο ερώτησης και με διαβάθμιση δυσκολίας. Στο τέλος κάθε κεφαλαίου θα προτείνονται δοκιμασίες (test), ώστε να διαγνωσθεί η επίτευξη των στόχων. Ο βαθμός επίδοσης στην παραπάνω δοκιμασία θα σχολιάζεται θετικά ή αρνητικά και θα παραπέμπει, είτε σε επανάληψη και περαιτέρω άσκηση στο ίδιο κεφάλαιο, είτε στο επόμενο κεφάλαιο. Στο Γ’ μέρος του βιβλίου θα δίνονται οι απαντήσεις και οι λύσεις των προβλημάτων. Ιδιαίτερο βάρος θα δίνεται όταν η επιλογή ή απάντηση στα ερωτήματα που τίθενται στο Α’ μέρος του βιβλίου είναι λανθασμένη. Στην περίπτωση αυτή το βιβλίο θα παραθέτει επεξηγήσεις και παραδείγματα, θα παραπέμπει στην ανάγνωση καθορισμένων χωρίων από βασικά συγγράμματα ή ηλεκτρονικούς ισότοπους (sites). Ακόμα, θα δίνονται διαδραστικές δράσεις, ώστε να εξαλειφθεί η παρανόηση και αποκατασταθεί η εμπέδωση.

description: The observation of phenomena in nature led to the recognition of physical quantities that evolve in time, but also to the development of laws that describe their change over time. Gradually, the study of the composition of matter led to the recognition that a (macroscopic) physical system consists of microscopic molecular structures that are constantly in motion. The study of the macrocosm led to the foundation of thermodynamics in equilibrium and kinetic theories out of equilibrium, such as hydrodynamics. At the same time, statistical theories were developed that reproduce the macroscopic phenomena based on the molecular motion. Statistical Mechanics of equilibrium reproduces thermodynamics and kinetic (statistical) theories reproduce (macroscopic) kinetic theories. For example, in dilute systems, the Boltzmann kinetic equation reproduces hydrodynamics. For non-equilibrium systems there is no general kinetic theory due to the many ways in which the kinetic states of matter arise and correspondingly the statistical theories are formulated according to the physical system they describe. In this book, the phenomenological theories of thermodynamics and hydrodynamics are presented first, the stochastic processes that describe the statistical evolution of physical quantities over time and characterize physical and chemical systems follow. Subsequently, based on classical mechanics and the use of the Liouville equation, the derivation of kinetic equations for the velocity distributions is presented. In the limit of weak interactions the Boltzmann kinetic equation is obtained and its properties are studied. Then, transport properties are calculated based on the intermolecular interactions. Next, the statistical study of the linear response of a system to the action of external fields is presented. In the last chapter, since thermodynamics has not been generalized to all physical systems, some cases of generalization of local thermodynamics in non-equilibrium conditions are presented for special systems that display various applications.

description:
In the last decade, the international efforts to reduce out of hospital cardiac arrest deaths contain actions that promote the integration of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training in education. This book entitled " The teaching of CRP in educational settings " combines information related to CPR training, according to current guidelines, with the pedagogical background that supports effective teaching at all levels of education. Recent innovative interdisciplinary collaborative CPR research and training actions targeting pupils and students, led by academics of the Department of Physical Education and Sports Science (DPESS) of the University of Thessaly (UTh), in collaboration with the Directorate of Education of Thessaly and members / CPR instructors from the Hellenic Association of Emergency Prehospital Care (E.E.E.P.F.), have contributed to the creation of new knowledge & appropriate material to support the teaching of CPR to teachers, students and pupils.
Especially P.E. teachers, but also other pedagogy graduates who work in the school setting have now the support that will allow them to integrate CPR teaching into an active learning model. By doing so they can reap multiple benefits for developing a positive school culture and they can also contribute to benefiting the society at large, in the context of the educational reform of the Greek School curriculum.
Therefore, this book provides the appropriate pedagogical and practical information for the organization of class of teaching CPR, whether with or without the use of an automatic external defibrillator (AED), It also contains advice to the educator for class implementation, with actionable steps to provide an escalating degree of difficulty (depending on educational level). This book offers the teacher or lecturer easy-to-use visual aids, practical tips and sample lessons. In addition, it provides key information and recommendations for the necessary actions that an educational unit needs to take in order to apply risk/hazard reduction and formulate actionable emergency/crisis response action plans. Also, this book can serve in the training of students and the preparation of DPESS future graduates, as well as graduates of pedagogical departments or other scientists acquiring pedagogical competence, who will serve in the three levels of education.
