description: The book Tennis - Technique - Tactics - Exercises – Rules, Regulations, and Terminology covers a significant range of topics essential for students of Greek Faculties of Physical Education and Sport Science (SEFAA) as well as current and future coaches. Most books used today at Hellenic Universities cover only part of a sports discipline's relevant subject matter. This specific book takes a more comprehensive and practical approach to tennis, addressing students' needs for both theoretical knowledge and practical application, while also adapting teaching methods to modern standards. The content of the book includes an extensive range of topics, from the history, characteristics, and regulations of the sport, and the methodology for teaching it, to detailed descriptions of the techniques of shots, an examination of tactics, and numerous drills that are essential for the educational and training process. The book aims to present as many aspects of the sport as possible in a clear and accessible way to adequately cover the subject of tennis at SEFAA. At the same time, it aspires to serve as a strong foundation for future knowledge expansion and skill development for those who wish to specialize in tennis coaching. I believe this book fulfills its educational role and serves as a particularly valuable resource for SEFAA students and beyond. It aims to expand their knowledge and improve their daily practice, whether in the field of education or on the tennis court.

description: The book Food and Culture examines the human diet from a holistic, cross-cultural perspective that considers biology as well as culture, and the past as well as the present. The themes presented concern current issues on nutrition and health, culture-based dietary practices and restrictions, food and technology, and the historical diffusion of various food types between societies. In a practical context, this book provides insight into several areas such as, when health practitioners need to overcome what are seen as cultural barriers to better nutrition; these may be culinary traditions rooted deep in history, food taboos, various aspects of food related to ethnic identity and cognitive aspects understood as part of ideological systems. Moreover, Food and Culture examines the interrelationship between diet and culture and their mutual influence upon one another, the possibility of nutritional adaptation by biological and social means and genetic discrepancies.

description: The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students of history, humanities, and social and political sciences who wish to understand how historical studies are written, how historians analyze their sources, and what methodological tools are employed in their discipline. It can also be beneficial for readers who have an interest in the field of history and its diverse applications. Specifically, the book presents comprehensively and understandably the following issues: what is history and what is the task of historians • the gradual development of historical science over time • the sources of the past and the role of history between the present and the past • the theory, methods, tools and essential elements of writing a historical analysis. The comprehensive nature of the book ensures that students will have a thorough understanding of historical studies, instilling confidence in their knowledge and skills. Thus, this book is designed based on the questions asked by students during their first encounter with historical science and begins with considerations such as that history does not have a duty to represent "precisely what happened" at a given moment in time, that historical events do not exist before historians highlight them, that history is not "written by the winners" but neither is it repeated. The book, structured like a modern university course, is a diverse and inclusive learning experience. It is divided into chapters, each equivalent to a lecture, and filled with learning objectives, exercises, and recommended reading for further study. Each chapter is enriched with examples that aid in comprehending complex theoretical concepts. These examples are drawn from a diverse range of sources, including modern reality and contemporary cinema. For instance, using films to illustrate how individual stories intersect, interact, and are influenced by national or global events during a specific period.

description: The Laboratory Guide is addressed to students taking the course in Physical Anthropology. The book is addressed not only to students in the Departments of Biology and Biosciences but also to students in other disciplines, such as Archaeology. The Guide is divided into four sections, each containing individual chapters which correspond to individual exercises. In the first chapter (Module A) the human skeleton is presented in detail and students learn to identify the parts of the skeleton, the individual bones with their anatomical characteristics and their anatomical position. In the second chapter, students learn to identify gender using skeletal characters, while in the next chapter, in addition to determining the age of individuals using skeletal features, students become familiar with the methodology of paleodemography. Chapter four deals with the study of musculoskeletal anamnesis as a means of drawing conclusions about the activity levels of individuals and populations, while chapter five introduces students to the main diseases that can be identified in skeletal remains, and the conclusions that can be drawn from each of them about lifestyle and living levels in the past. The next two chapters (Module B) deal with the ways in which human diversity is approached, either in skeletons (Chapter Six) or in individuals (Chapter Seven); Chapter Eight (Module C) deals with the systematics and evolution of the arboreal primates and fossil forms of the australopithecines, while Chapter Nine deals with the systematics of Homo. The next two chapters are concerned with familiarising students with the use of molecular databases and their processing (chapter ten), while the final chapter is concerned with the study of evolutionary forces by simulation (chapter eleven). The last section includes appendices and individual data processing topics (statistical tests, etc.).

description:
This book is aimed at undergraduate dental students as a fundamental educational aid for the course "Partial Dentures II" within the framework of their teaching in the subject of Removable Prosthodontics. It can also be used by undergraduate dental students and dental technology students who take courses related to the subject of partial dentures, such as the courses "Partial Dentures I" and "Complex Prosthetic Restorations" of the Dental School of AUTH, as well as by postgraduate students. Additionally, it will be useful for dental graduates and dental technicians to update their knowledge regarding materials and techniques, restoration design, and the general principles of managing partially edentulous patients.

The aim of the book is to equip the reader with systematic knowledge for providing care to the partially edentulous patient, aligned with scientific evidence and modern patient-centered perspectives, as well as to describe a comprehensive and systematic restoration protocol. After a brief historical overview of partial denture restoration, the particular characteristics of the partially edentulous individual, the axes for their approach, and the criteria for prosthetic design are described. Subsequently, the successive clinical and laboratory stages of partial denture construction are developed, structured into three main sections (diagnosis/design, mouth preparation/impression, construction of the partial denture). Finally, data regarding the prognosis of partial dentures, possible biological and technical complications, user acceptance, and maintenance of the result are presented.

description: This e-book serves as a manual aimed at young filmmakers, students, or amateurs, covering all stages of documentary filmmaking, from the conception of the initial idea to the screening of the final film. It describes step-by-step the creative process, starting from the phase of developing the proposal and preparation, continuing with production and shooting, and then editing and post-production, and finally promoting the film to the audience. At each stage, it presents the wide variety of aesthetic choices available to the modern creator and the different narrative functions served by each morphological choice. Thus, the book fosters reflection on fundamental aesthetic and theoretical approaches, helping the new filmmaker find their own perspective, which will ultimately be expressed through clear technical decisions. The self-contained, independent chapters and their systematic divisions allow for selective reading, while the e-book functions literally as a toolkit, as the reader can consult it even during shooting via a portable device. The content meets the needs of the main textbook for 2 documentary workshops in the Film Department of the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (with their respective exercises), while individual chapters undoubtedly serve as a resource for another 3 courses (editing, production, and sound). As in similar manuals in the international literature, we attempt to suggest methodologies and systematize a body of knowledge synthesized from the collective experience of a wide range of documentary creators, reflected in oral and written testimonies, online sources, and personal interviews. Naturally, the artistic experience of the authors themselves significantly enriches this knowledge pool, simultaneously giving the dimension of the Greek reality.

description: Agricultural Engineering is an integral part of Agricultural Science because it concerns the use of technology in agriculture. Consequently, this textbook is intended for undergraduate and graduate students of Agricultural Science and anyone involved in agriculture in general. This book studies, analyzes, explains, and selects the optimal support systems for the plant and animal environment, because Agricultural Engineering is the scientific discipline that implements the requirements set by Agricultural Science for the optimal growth and development of plants and animals. Consequently, the textbook contains an introduction to the methods and methodology for solving basic problems in Agricultural Engineering. The standard ways of presenting the results of a production process and the basic mathematical formulas that are repeatedly encountered in Agricultural Engineering are provided. Finally, attention is drawn to all those who are going to be involved in agriculture in matters of saving available resources, because the goal in any process is to maximize the result. The topics covered in the book include: the transmission of motion in agricultural mechanisms and machinery and the most common methods of power generation in agriculture; the calibration of machinery; the efficiency and capabilities of equipment; energy consumption; sound and noise and their effects on human health; topographical data that should be known by those involved in agriculture; how to make use of climatic data and rainfall runoff in agriculture; the most common methods of irrigation and modern technology for water conservation; erosion and ways of combating it; the preservation of organic products, because any production process is automatically invalidated if the quality of the products is not ensured after harvesting.

description: The aim of the book is the systematic presentation of the basic conceptual dimensions of the translation phenomenon. It is structured in seven chapters and studies various cutting-edge issues related to translation, which is approached in its dual dimension, as a mental and practical process and as a result of this activity. It seeks to examine, in a critical manner, some of the most important aspects of translation in the light of linguistic, cultural, sociological and semiotic approaches, thus highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of translation thought in the contemporary globalized, networked and constantly changing technological environment - hence the special emphasis on the place of technology in the translation act. The study is supported by extensive use of examples from the language pairs English - Greek, French - Greek, Greek - English, and French. The first chapter focuses on the definition of the translation phenomenon as well as on the basic principles of translation studies. The second chapter examines linguistically oriented approaches to the translation phenomenon as well as theoretical issues, such as equivalence, that are relevant to translation. In the third chapter, the translation phenomenon is approached as a mediation of cultures, its ethical dimensions are examined as well as the levels (macro/microstructure) at which the concept of culture is involved with translation. Chapter four studies the interaction between social structure and individual action in the translation field. Chapter five highlights the semiotic aspects of the translation process and presents typologies with a semiotic background. Chapter six explores the relationship between ideology and translation, with emphasis on the translation of political and journalistic texts. Finally, chapter seven focuses on the powerful technological aspect of translation today and its various levels (lexicographic and technological databases, translation memories, Internet use, text corpora, and machine translation systems).

description: The vast majority of known protein and nucleic acid structures –images of which have flooded most biochemistry, cell and molecular biology textbooks– have been produced using the method of X-ray crystallography. Due to the rich mathematical background of the method, most textbooks avoid presenting details of the method, or when they do (for example, in the last chapter of Branden & Tooze's book), the presentation is somewhat fragmented and superficial. As a result, students are left with a rather mystical feeling/perception which could be summarized as follows: "... and all this information about the structure and function of proteins and nucleic acids has come from something called 'crystallography' which is so confusing and difficult that we’d better leave it here". This booklet aims to present the basic principles of protein crystallography, i.e. the physical meaning of the crystallographic experiment, while carefully avoiding mathematics that biology students may not be familiar with. The only prerequisites of the first chapters of the book are that students have some vague recollections from high school physics and almost nothing else. In the later chapters of the book, a few mathematical topics are mentioned, but this is done so carefully and slowly that a determined biology student will be able to follow through with them. This booklet is not intended to be a textbook on protein crystallography and does not attempt to cover everything from direct methods to solvent flattening and real space averaging. The sole ambition of the book is to remove the mysticism that covers the method and to show simply the essence and physical meaning of the crystallographic experiment.

description: In this study, we attempt to examine, analyze, and interpret, using the methodological tools of cultural history, anthropology, and art history, three exemplary cases corresponding to eleven chapters and spanning a period of four centuries (16th-19th centuries): a. The gradual transformations of post-Byzantine painting tradition due to its assimilation with its surroundings and the emergence of a new socio-political and economic reality, assimilating visual elements of contemporary European and Ottoman cultures. These elements not only expanded the range of its themes and its artistic technique but also its decoration. b. Secular house painting in Macedonia as an element of the cultural activity of the urban world, in an attempt to highlight the phenomenon of decorative painting by examining the morphological and typological characteristics of secular wall paintings in houses, allowing us to integrate the wall paintings into broader decorative classifications, within the framework of an artistic language that developed within the Ottoman Empire. Also, examining the social and ideological functionality of the decorative phenomenon. c. Representations of time revealing new aspects of both anthropological and ecclesiastical time, which highlight the particular character of post-Byzantine society, seen through the prism of the history of the ideas that constitute it. Essentially, what is sought here is the society itself and the way in which time, in its various manifestations, is integrated into its consciousness, determining its reality. The consideration here of anthropogenic time focuses on its use and experience by pre-industrial societies.

description: The present book is the result of many years of teaching in the Department of Informatics at the University of Piraeus, and the knowledge it provides is pluralistic, comprehensive, contemporary, and simultaneously a combination of theory and practice. Indeed, the reader can learn about the general business models applied in Web Information Systems (WIS), as well as their implementation using the latest prevailing technologies, such as Web Application Frameworks (WAF), service-oriented architectures, cloud computing, and mobile computing. It is evident that the entirety of the subject matter's knowledge cannot be fully and thoroughly described in a single textbook. Therefore, the reader is required to refer to sources and further study the writings. The book is divided into three main parts. The first part (Chapters 1-5) is theoretical and focuses on WIS, the second part (Chapters 6-12) is programming-oriented, while the third part (Chapter 13) examines the methodology one should follow to develop a WIS. Specifically, in Chapter 1, the reader is introduced to the basic concepts of the examined scientific fields, namely Information Systems (IS) and the new technological challenges arising from the use of the internet and the adoption of new business models based on it. In Chapter 2, the capabilities and services offered by the internet to IS are examined in depth, as well as the interconnection of IS of different organizations through the internet. Information discovery, directory services, communication services, corporate web services, collaboration services, distance learning, and teleworking are examples of such services. In Chapter 3, the business models of e-business and e-commerce are presented and analyzed, along with their components. Additionally, e-auctions, electronic distribution channels for retailers and wholesalers, consumer behavior research, Business-to-Consumer (B2C), Consumer-to-Business (C2B), Consumer-to-Consumer (C2C), and Business-to-Business (B2B) models, electronic advertising, inter-business applications, intra-business e-business, e-government, and e-payments are examined. Chapter 4 deals with mobile computing (m-computing), which includes mobile phone and smart device technologies, cloud computing technology, ubiquitous computing, and pervasive computing, in terms of their applications in modern businesses and organizations, such as mobile commerce (m-commerce) and "smart" schools. Chapter 5 presents the architecture and infrastructure of the World Wide Web as a prerequisite for understanding the operational environment of WIS. Additionally, URI and URL namespace spaces, the HTTP protocol, web servers, replication, and clustering of web servers, communication security, and application servers are examined. Chapter 6 presents the basic client-side tools used for developing web applications. HTML5 and its synergy with CSS, JQuery, Ajax technology, as well as other new client-side technologies like Python, Underscore.JS, and Java Applets are examined. XML and JSON are also studied as standards for application interoperability. Chapter 7 focuses on creating applications, services, and systems in the web environment through Java Servlets technology. A series of programming examples is also provided. Chapter 8 presents Java Server Pages (JSP) technologies and related structured web application development frameworks and libraries, concerning server-side. The MVC architecture is examined, and two of the most popular WAFs, Struts and Spring, are presented. Chapter 9 discusses the protocol stack on which Web Services (WS) are based, the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), the Web Services Description Language (WSDL), the Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration (UDDI) service for discovering Web Services, as well as the newer version of Web Services, Restful Web Services. Chapter 10 extensively examines the technical and business advantages of a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). A real SOA example, that of the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB), as well as an open-source ESB example, is given. Chapter 11 develops the topic of security in web applications, following the methodology of the "Top Ten Project" of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), which specifies the primary areas of web application vulnerabilities and ways to detect and address them. W3C security standards for WS and the security features of the Java programming language are also mentioned. Chapter 12 analyzes the integration of cloud services in web application implementation, as well as the creation of mobile phone applications. Finally, the architecture and operation of the Android operating system are examined. Chapter 13 refers to methodologies and related issues of WIS development projects. The UML language is briefly presented, and methods of evaluating the effectiveness of WIS application are examined. The book is accompanied by multiple-choice exercises and videos to help the reader better grasp the material. Throughout the electronic book, hyperlinks to references are provided, which the reader can follow.

description: The listing of computer programs (source codes), together with the theory related to them, is intended to solve typical hydraulic engineering problems. This book is a continuation of the subject of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Previously and for many years the course of Computational Fluid Dynamics has been taught as an undergraduate course, but with some variations, also as a postgraduate course at the Department of Civil Engineering of the Democritus University of Thrace. Hydraulic Engineering deals with problems of incompressible Fluid Mechanics, the main representative of which is the flow of water. The material, of this basically educational textbook, is designed to meet the teaching needs of the semester course entitled "Calculation of Hydraulic Projects using computers", which since thirty years and more has been delivered to the undergraduate students of this department. The solved examples and the simultaneous presentation of computer programs in the Fortran programming language are aimed at consolidating the subject of Computational Hydraulic Engineering. The detailed presentation of the open source codes (.f90) in the Fortran programming language (f77 and f90) is intended to enable further development to solve more complex problems that may be encountered later. The results are checked by analyzing both the input data (.dat) and typical results of the calculations (.out). The usefulness of the text is not limited to Computational Hydraulics. The universality of partial differential equations enables the present computational techniques to be applied to a wide range of problems in Continuous Media Mechanics.

description: The subject of Algorithms and Data Structures is extremely rich, and many relevant and extremely valuable books have been written in both International and Greek literature. This book is an attempt to collectively capture the material and an experience gathered after many years of research and teaching subjects related to Algorithms and Data Structures, and Graph Theory. The purpose of this synthetic effort is the homogenized recording of a didactic approach that wants to focus particularly on the part of Algorithm Analysis, as it is presented in the corresponding classic books and articles, but also in combination with the analysis of classic Data Structures. The common denominator of the examined objects is an ultimately mechanistic methodology with the aim of solving each specific problem through as many alternative techniques as possible, which are compared and evaluated. This book will be a valuable help for the student trying to understand the concept of Algorithms since it will give a different look at these topics. The book provides a comprehensive exploration of algorithms, beginning with an introduction that sets the stage for understanding their importance in computing. The background section delves into mathematical foundations essential for algorithm analysis. Fundamental algorithms cover basic concepts and classic problems while algorithmic techniques, such as divide-and-conquer and dynamic programming, are discussed in detail. The book then explores search algorithms and sorting algorithms, offering efficient methods for data organization and retrieval. Amortized and competitive analysis are introduced as different modes of evaluating algorithm performance. Complexity theory is explained to categorize problems based on their computational difficulty. Basic graph algorithms provide solutions for network-related problems, while string algorithms address text processing. The book concludes with a look at randomized algorithms, highlighting probabilistic approaches to problem-solving.

Global Politics

keywords: Global Intergovermental And Non-govermental Actors

uk: Право, економіка та суспільні науки

description: This textbook aims to provide students with an understanding of how politics is produced at the global level. To this end, the first part of the book (Chapters 1-2) examines the central concepts as well as the main theoretical approaches to global politics through a contemporary and critical perspective. With this background, the second part (Chapters 3-8) examines and analyses all categories of actors in global politics and their synergistic interaction. In particular, the contemporary role of the state, the expansion of its competences and the challenges it faces are examined, with a parallel discussion of regional integration and global governance structures, as well as non-state actors (businesses and NGOs), which in many cases are involved in shaping and decision-making. The aim of the book is to help students understand the complex processes through which different actors shape policy in the global system. Overall, the text seeks to move away from simplistic and single-factor considerations and to demonstrate the complexity of the processes and structures of global politics by increasing the categories of international actors and the multiple pathways through which they co-shape the global setting. It also attempts, in the same context, to demonstrate the transition from international to global politics and to frame traditional national interest issues in terms of the need to provide global public goods.

description: The aim of the customized electronic textbook for undergraduate and postgraduate students is to highlight the various dimensions of the inseparable spatial dimension of human labor and conscious productive action in the shaping of places, regions, and processes. It will be the first attempt at a Greek-language educational book in the thematic area of Labor Geography, a new dynamic subfield of Economic Geography. The thematic scope of the book will focus on studying the contribution of labor and workers themselves as active agents in shaping the geography of contemporary societies. This contribution has been the subject of systematic study in recent decades, although it has been undervalued in earlier textbooks and writings on Economic Geography. Key concepts around which the arguments of the book will be articulated include place, space, and geographical scale. Initially, basic theories and empirical evidence regarding labor and the recent changes it undergoes will be presented. Then, theories of fragmentation in labor markets will be discussed, utilizing appropriate interactive materials, and the spatial-local composition of labor structures and employment will be highlighted. Subsequently, the geography of labor action and its contribution to the shaping of contemporary societies will be studied through concepts such as spatial sabotage or inter-local coordination, and international examples of different scales of action organization and their effectiveness will be highlighted. Next, modern dimensions of flexible work will be illuminated, and the related discussion of 'flexicurity' in the labor markets of the European Union will be presented through the prism of Labor Geography. Finally, the book will discuss contemporary geographical dilemmas

description: Martin Heidegger's Being and Time (ETH) is admittedly one of the most important works in the history of philosophy. Both the examination of the history of philosophy within it and the enormous impact it has had on the philosophy that followed its appearance (1927) make it a necessary subject for any worthwhile philosophy curriculum. But this work is also notorious for the great difficulty it presents in understanding it. In this interpretation and analysis of EX, therefore, a detailed and didactic explanation of all its ideas and arguments is attempted. In this undertaking, a methodology is not specifically followed which I consider the most appropriate: phenomenological -- the work is approached phenomenologically. Heidegger himself makes it explicit that everything that is to be made a subject in the EH must be capable of becoming phenomenal. This requirement is not inconsequential or opportunistic. It characterizes the project, its plan, and its ultimate intent at every point in its development. Heidegger emerges as almost obsessed with this task. He attempts to do phenomenological ontology, that is, to unravel phenomenologically the greatest and darkest problem of philosophy since its inception: the meaning of Being. In phenomenological methodology, any recourse to conjecture and mere analysis of concepts (logical or dialectical) is excluded from the outset and in principle, without a necessary connection to an oversight in which everything we speak of is revealed as such. Obviously, such a thing seems, at first sight, almost monstrous. Herein lies the core of the difficulty of understanding EX. Thus, in the interpretation and analysis proposed here, special emphasis is placed on illuminating the presuppositions of understanding the whole philosophical inquiry that Heidegger attempts in the EH. It is on this basis that the thorough elucidation of all the ideas and arguments contained in the EH and especially in the First Division is carried out.

description: This textbook meets the needs of the course "Protection, Biomonitoring, and Restoration of Ecological Systems," taught in the eighth semester of the Biology Department at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. A review of the Greek literature showed that there is nothing more than textbooks which, in a technocratic context, are limited to providing instructions on the techniques that should be followed to restore degraded/destroyed ecological formations. The aim of this book, on the contrary, is to present the ecological theoretical basis that guides anyone implementing restoration programs, make decisions on what steps to take, and have criteria for redesigning restoration actions when the effort proves unsuccessful. The book focuses on the restoration of terrestrial formations, the cornerstone of which is the soil. To this end, it provides a detailed presentation of the structural elements of soil (biotic and abiotic), their interactions, and the restoration projects aimed at managing these interactions with a view to creating a functional system. The proposed book is divided into three sections. The first focuses on the description of the abiotic and biotic elements of the soil system and the processes produced by their interactions. The second section refers to the theory of restoration ecology and how concepts from the field of community ecology, such as succession, disturbance, metapopulation, dispersal, species pool, etc., are applied in restoration programs. Finally, the third section describes restoration techniques according to the system being restored.

description: The text is addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate students of political science, history or military history (war studies). It is also aimed at a wider audience who would like to gain a general knowledge of the topics covered in the book. It traces and analyses the longitudinal relationship between the phenomenon of war and the particular form and function of political power. The analysis is based on a comparative approach to this relationship in specific historical periods (Bronze Age empires, Homer, classical Greece, Rome, ... to the total wars of the 19th and 20th centuries and the low-intensity "self-fueled" wars of the modern era). The techniques of war - the material - economic substrate that accompanies them, the social norms associated with each type of war and, finally, the aggregation of all these factors and their expression at the level of political power are presented in detail. A longitudinal - historical - approach to the issue establishes possibilities for a comparative approach and reveals constants in the political constitution of societies. In this way, complex concepts such as the relationship between the right/obligation to participate in war and political participation become easier to understand. In any case, the major milestones in the history of the war/politics relationship are emphasised: the column of soldiers, the Roman legion, feudal privilege, the French Revolution, total wars, etc.

description: "Biological membranes: From structure to functions. Theoretical and experimental approaches" is a textbook exploring the main concepts of the structure and functions of biological membranes, at a theoretical and practical level. The sequence of the theoretical chapters follows a hierarchical logic, aspiring to stick to definitions, assumptions and methodology. We start with the main types of eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells' biological membranes, and we discuss techniques for cell homogenisation, fractionation and purification based on enzymic and morphological purity criteria. Chemical and physicochemical properties of the membrane components follow, solubilization and reconstitution techniques, while main concepts regarding Critical Micellar Concentration, and hydrophobic-hydrophilic balance, are described. Then, we proceed to the membrane components' assembling without disturbing the cellular integrity, dynamics and membrane biogenesis, procedures leading to the architecture of biological membranes. Models of membrane structure, the fluid mosaic model, assumptions, consistencies and inconsistencies of the models and applications regarding synthetic membranes and liposomes are comprised. The chapter devoted to transport explains how hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds pass through highly specific channels and describes primary and secondary active transport and the transport of particles through whole regions of biological membranes often in the form of endocytosis, via receptors. At the level of membranes' functions, we provide the fundamentals and logic of cell communication and signalling. Types of membrane receptors, classification and kinetics are outlined, followed by classical examples of signalling pathway patterns, such as G-proteins, effectors and intracellular messenger systems. Among the plethora of pathways, we focus on lipid signalling through intracellular and extracellular lipid signalling molecules. Finally, 10 classical experiments and techniques for the analysis of biological membranes are presented. In this respect, the most common techniques applying to the study of biological membranes and membrane components are presented. All the lab exercises contain relevant comprehensive technical appendixes.

description: Regarding the textbook entitled "Comparative Literature. Theory and Practice", comparative literature examines literature from an international, transnational perspective and studies its intercultural, intercultural and interdisciplinary contexts. This subject is now an integral part of the curricula of literature departments (Greek and foreign language) in Greece as well. The textbook has the form of a textbook and has been designed as material to be used in the teaching of this course. It is addressed to students of the abovementioned departments, without any prerequisite knowledge, in order to introduce them to the subject of comparative literature, its aims and methods and to strengthen their critical thinking in the direction of an international view of literary phenomena. The book consists of 12 chapters, which form 12 distinct thematic sections, which address and cover all the basic practices of contemporary comparative literature and its main fields of practice. Specifically, they are: 1) What is comparative literature? 2) The history of the discipline. 3) The history of comparative literature. 4) Recruitment and impact. 5) Themes and patterns. 6) Literary genres and eras. 7) Comparative literature and translation 8) Discursiveness. 9) Transculturalism. 10) Interculturality. 11) Literature and science. 12) Comparative literature and globalisation. All chapters have the same structure, consisting of three parts: They begin with a theoretical part that gradually introduces the student to the issue under consideration, followed by a practical part with exemplary comparative analyses, and conclude with a summary of the main points, in-depth exercises and an indicative bibliography. An effort has been made to ensure that a large part of the bibliography refers to reputable Greek and foreign-language electronic resources in order to enhance interactivity.

description: The subject matter of this paper concerns the multimedia and hypermedia technologies that have dominated the various aspects of mediated communication, but also the activity of modern man in general. This rapidly evolving field seeks a more user-friendly and descriptive presentation of information through multi-faceted and multi-layered structures, contributing to a better understanding of even challenging topics. This provides immediacy and a rich mediated experience for the user, who can select and navigate to the content of interest through multiple - non-linear - narrative paths and/or more advanced forms of interaction. Multimedia production is a highly interdisciplinary field that requires close cooperation between experts and teams from many different disciplines (e.g. graphic designers, scriptwriters, artists-creators, ICT specialists, programmers, communicators, journalists, economists, psychologists, etc.). However, most books on multimedia are usually of a technical nature, aimed mainly at engineers, computer specialists and programmers, and do not lend themselves to being understood by other creative groups. This textbookattempts to address this issue by aiming to provide an understanding of the issues, to provide expertise and to develop the skills of writing and managing multimedia by ordinary users. Emphasis is placed on multimedia technologies, development methods and applications of non-linear storytelling in new digital media. The aim of the book is twofold. On the one hand, it aims at understanding the basic principles and technologies, pursuing easy execution of multimedia applications and hypermedia navigation as part of everyday digital information/information processes. On the other hand, it aims at acquiring multimedia production skills as part of the content creation/distribution processes of participatory users, freelancers, members of large organisations/producers, etc.
