description: The sociological study of law is sometimes considered "distant" from the focus of legal science, especially by those who follow a strictly positivist approach. However, with the advent of socio-legal studies, law is now approached in an interdisciplinary manner, focusing on bridging legal science with other social sciences. Queer law, which belongs to socio-legal studies, challenges what has been perceived as “given” or “normal”. For example, queer law seeks to revise legal texts that are based on heteronormativity to address human rights violations and the equal treatment of various groups that are victims of patriarchy such as women, intersex and queer people. Although queer law is quite widespread in foreign countries, in the Greek legal world, there is not enough information about its existence, nor about social issues related to groups of people who are outside the heteronormative and due to that, they suffer gross violations of their rights daily. This bibliographic guide wishes to fill any gaps that exist in the curricula as well as the textbooks used in legal scholarship regarding queer law and queer theory. It aims to give readers the opportunity to learn about the importance of queer for legal scholarship and about discrimination against people who are outside the heteronormative and whose voices are often silenced, such as women (slut-shaming), persons with disabilities, polyamory persons, fat persons, persons outside the female and male binary such as intersex and non-binary but also persons who are asexual, pansexual. This is an innovative guide that aims to provide an understanding of the impact of the law on different groups and to critique the law from the perspective of these groups using queer as a tool.

description: The book "Lighting Design: Theory and Practice" is a guide to a deep understanding and application of the physics, art and applications of lighting in the built environment. In today's world, lighting not only serves basic lighting needs, but is a key element in creating environments that affect the human experience and sense of place. From the illumination of a home to a custom lighting installation in a museum or a professional office, lighting plays a critical role in influencing not only our perception, but also the biological processes of human physiology. Lighting design is a special blend of technology and creative expression that can transform the indoor/outdoor environment of buildings, having a significant impact on people's mood and well-being. An effort has been made to cover all current design trends (e.g. human-centred lighting), but at the same time to emphasise the importance of lighting solutions that are environmentally friendly and of course energy efficient. The structure of this book consists of seven chapters, covering the range of knowledge and skills required to understand and practically apply lighting rules for design in a wide range of situations. Each chapter is accompanied by supporting information (summary, prerequisite knowledge, expected learning outcomes, key concepts). At the end of each chapter there are assessment criteria which are self-assessment questions on the topics covered in each chapter and their solutions provide the information for understanding the material and developing skills in lighting design.

description: This book was created to be used as a basic textbook by undergraduate and graduate students dealing with the science of Environmental Engineering. It includes hydraulic engineering topics focusing on the environmental field. The material of the book is divided into eight chapters. The book begins with an introduction to the principles of water pollution and the formulation of the basic definitions and parameters related to environmental mass transfer processes and is followed by Chapter 2 describing the fundamental model of complete mixing, including the solutions for various cases of flow and pollutant loads. In Chapter 3, Fick's law of diffusion is formulated and the solution of the one-dimensional diffusion equation is presented for various cases of initial and boundary conditions. Also, the effect of boundaries is examined. The chapter concludes with the formulation of the one-dimensional advection - diffusion equation and its solution for various cases of initial and boundary conditions. In Chapter 4, the one-dimensional advection - diffusion equation is applied in the case of natural streams. In Chapter 5, the deoxygenation and reaeration mechanisms in natural streams are described and the Streeter-Phelps water quality simulation model is developed. Chapter 6 includes the description of the wastewater disposal mechanisms in water bodies. Chapter 7 describes water quality processes in lakes and reservoirs, focusing on the quantitative relationships that describe flow and dispersion, sedimentation, and thermal stratification. Finally, in Chapter 8 the basic principles of the process of sediment transport in natural streams with reference to the criteria for the initiation of sediment movement and the calculation of the sediment transport rate and the suspended load are presented. At the end of each chapter there are problems with exemplary solutions, for the understanding of the topics that were examined. The material in this book is useful to senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students of studies related to the science of Civil Engineering with a specialization in environmental engineering, as well as to engineers dealing with problems of this kind.

description: This textbook is a detailed introduction to the theory of ordinary differential equations as well as a first approach to linear partial differential equations. In particular, known types of first-order ordinary differential equations are studied and their applications in physics, astronomy and economics are listed. Then linear differential equations of second and higher order as well as linear systems of differential equations are considered. Particular emphasis is placed on the variation of parameters method as a unified way of dealing with linear differential equations of any order and linear systems of equations. A separate chapter is devoted to the numerical solution of initial value problems in ordinary differential equations using basic and fundamental analytical methods such as the Euler method, its improved versions, as well as the Runge-Kutta method. The material of the book is supplemented by the solution method of power series at ordinary and singular points. Basic Laplace transforms are computed analytically and Fourier series are used in solving initial value problems. The reader is then introduced to the solution of boundary value problems and the basic classes of partial differential equations (especially the heat equation and the wave equation). Each paragraph contains a significant number of solved exercises and exercises to be solved. A number of specially labeled exercises is combined using software. Answers to selected unsolved exercises are listed in a separate appendix at the end of the book.

description: After a historical review of the institution of Environmental Impact Assessment throughout this book, the legislation that governs Environmental Impact Studies (EIA) is presented, as well as key points that were milestones for the institution. Subsequently, the Environmental Impact Legislation is examined in specialized categories of projects, such as the production of energy, natural gas, as well as Renewable Energy Sources. The following are the structure of a study and specific stages of EIA preparation concerning control, reporting, consultation, investigation techniques, evaluation criteria, environmental indicators and indicator selection criteria. This is followed by a review of the planning aids used to prepare the Environmental Impact Study, such as aerial photographs, geographic databases, information layers, cartographic analysis techniques, data banks, and computer-aided exhibits. Then the environmental impacts per project category are examined, specifically the impacts of dams, aviation, and transportation projects, as well as the measures to deal with them. EIA examples are given as case studies of projects in Greece and abroad. In Greece, the first study concerns the Siatista-Krystallopigi axis perpendicular to the Egnatia Road from the uneven junction of Argos Orestikos to Koromilia, while the second concerns the construction of an irrigation network in the farm of the Mesiani community in the prefecture of Kozani. From abroad, EIAs in both the USA and Australia are examined, with a case study of the second airport in Sydney, Australia. The following are brief descriptions of various social science tools that may be used to assess these impacts. Finally, some problems in specific issues of environmental economics are presented and solved.

description: This book attempts to approach the science of polymers through solved exercises. Specifically, the book's content aims to consolidate the knowledge acquired from the theoretical courses on Polymer Science and Technology, through their application in solving specific problems of direct practical interest. The aim is to give students the sense that the science of polymers is not theoretical, but a science of application and problem solving. This book can be used by students of the Faculty of Science or Polytechnic and mainly of the Departments of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, and Materials Science. It is written to include various areas of Polymer Science and Technology, including the kinetics of polymerization reactions (through the chain or step reaction mechanism), design of polymerization reactors, copolymerization, molecular, thermal, physicochemical, and mechanical properties of polymers, polymer transitions, polymers in solutions, viscoelasticity and finally some elements on polymer rheology. Each chapter includes 4 different sections. First, a brief review of the theory is made, mainly reporting the necessary equations, which will then be used to solve the exercises. The second section involves solving relatively simple basic-level problems (which are primarily aimed at undergraduates). In the third section, more complex problems are developed, some of which may also need numerical methods of solution, aimed at postgraduate students. Finally, in the last part, there are unsolved exercises, in which only the final result is given. Thus, it can be used as an aid in a multitude of theoretical courses that exist in the Science of Polymers.

description: This book seeks to bridge the gap between the theoretical macroeconomic literature, the empirical data, and the actions/interventions by policy makers, aiming to make undergraduate/postgraduate students, lecturers/researchers and all those who have developed an interest in issues of macroeconomic analysis to better understand macroeconomic dilemmas and economic policy decision-making. Through the subject matter of the book, readers will become familiar with the main issues of concern in contemporary macroeconomic research, such as the functioning of the labour market and the importance of employment policies, the sources and measurement of economic growth and the policies by which it can be promoted, the different approaches to fiscal policy and the problem of public debt sustainability, the issue of inflationary bias and the arguments for and against central bank independence, the challenges of international macroeconomic interdependence and how these can be studied as policy games with leader and follower countries, the macroeconomic problems in the context of a union of states such as the EU, and issues of short-term economic fluctuations and medium-term adjustment. In addition, periods of "crisis" such as the oil crisis of the 1970s, the global financial crisis of 2008-2010, and the economic crisis due to the Covid-19 pandemic, are discussed and analyzed. The book consists of eight chapters, which are self-contained, and no prior knowledge is necessary to understand them. Each chapter includes a discussion of key concepts, an exploration of relevant data, an examination of macroeconomic models/theories, a presentation of empirical results, and a discussion of economic policy proposals/ recommendations.

description:
The authors of “The Cooperative Enterprise” have succeeded in collecting and developing the most relevant and modern knowledge of the sector to the interested reader. The text provides a good academic analysis of the relevant theories, but
importantly it celebrates the rich practical experiences of the cooperative world. We are well treated with a wide range of illustrations of the recent cooperative business evolutions with a professional insight and analysis of the decision-making. A virgin mind would enjoy a rare view of the cooperative business management, while more experienced individuals could be shown the cooperative logic behind the scene. The authors celebrate cooperative market orientation, individual commitment and responsibility as well as a dynamic approach to the future development of the sector. Hopefully, this would enable us to bring in those young, talented and professional people that we so much need in the farming sector. Furthermore, developing a training simulation game for farming businesses underlines the importance of this new approach in communicating our cooperative ideas. Involving the African farming community gives us Europeans a new perspective to issues where we have been too complacent. A word of warning: “The Cooperative Enterprise” will make you think in a cooperative way. And it is fun to read!

description: The availability of primary energy, i.e. energy drawn directly from nature (i.e. coal, oil, natural gas, etc.) is today perhaps the most critical problem of humanity because its survival and development depend on it. The increase in the standards of living of a country is accompanied by a corresponding increase in the energy consumed. On the contrary, the essential motivation of many wars is the dominance of energy resources. Suffice it to note that the global consumption of primary energy in 2010 was over 11 billion tons of oil equivalent, almost twice that of 30 years ago. The combination of the fact that all these energy resources (i.e. oil, natural gas, coal) are composed of organic compounds with the processes that occur for example in an oil refinery is sufficient to create the subject of industrial organic chemistry. In this context, this book is recommended, when someone needs information on the chemistry and technological processes during the exploitation of fossil resources to produce energy. Furthermore, in the general framework of industrial organic chemistry, this book includes also other topics such as the chemistry and technology of fats and oils, carbohydrates, as well as various chemical processes. This book is going to cover the teaching needs of undergraduate courses for students of the Departments of Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Physics, and Mechanical Engineering, as well as Technologists of various specialties, dealing with the interesting topics of conventional energy resources. As the field is very broad, a detailed listing of processes is not attempted but rather an introductory update on the whole range of fossil fuels and their technological upgrading to different energy sources.

description:
This handbook intends to be what its title states: A book on the theory and practice of archives management. For this reason, we divided the book into two parts, one theoretical and one applied. The first part consists of two chapters. The first examines the "discovery" of archives by historians, their relevance to history, and the emergence of archival studies as an autonomous field. In the second chapter, the archival theory is presented and the basic archival principles are analyzed. The second part of the book mainly concerns the applied part of archival jobs and organizes archival workload in three cycles corresponding to three chapters (the cycle of acquisition, the cycle of intellectual control, the cycle of promotion and access). The description of archival work is detailed and accompanied by examples and good practices.
For the acquisition cycle, we run all initiations that an archivist should take, listing questions that archivists often have. For the intellectual part, there is considerable discussion of arrangement methods, and we present several of the standards and schemas that archivists use today when describing material. Finally, for the third cycle, we list some key issues that professionals must deal with about substrate damage and the great challenge of promoting archival material to the public.

Kallipos, Open Academic Editions, which presents in detail the classic and contemporary models used in modeling economic & financial data. The present book focuses on the application of these models in the context of real empirical economic problems.The collection consists of eight independent empirical studies. The empirical studies analyze contemporary issues in macroeconomic science distinguished by advanced theoretical research and empirical analysis. The studies are applied to Greek financial data and each empirical study concludes some general and specific objectives, the most basic of which is the strengthening of pre-existing scientific knowledge through the creation of new and original knowledge. The goal of each empirical study is to present applied econometric analysis of data by combining economic theory to optimize the explanatory power of various economic models. Each study follows a specific methodology and structure.

keywords: Renewable Energy Applications in Buildings

description: Building Physics, as a scientific discipline, examines the mechanisms of interaction of the building with the environment, as well as the mechanisms of shaping the living conditions inside it. Therefore, it covers part of the knowledge used in Environmental Architectural Design to ensure satisfactory indoor comfort and hygiene conditions with the minimum possible consumption of non-renewable energy. The book is organized into three sections-chapters. The first section describes the basic characteristics of the natural environment and the impact on it of anthropogenic activities. The second section includes chapters from Building Physics, concerning the management of basic environmental parameters, such as solar radiation, temperature, humidity, wind, indoor air pollution, noise, in relation to the effects on buildings and the consequences of these effects on the formation of conditions inside them. The third section examines in general the integration of the building into its environment, natural and man-made. Reference is made to the inverse effects, i.e., those that the building exerts on the environment, both direct and wider, and in particular those that are related to its behavior as an energy consumer. In this context, the applications of Renewable Energy Sources in buildings are also examined.

description: This is an undergraduate book about the clinical anatomy of the musculoskeletal system. Through 250 pages and 239 images, the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system is presented in a concise way, but particularly targeted and comprehensive, covering all the information that the student of medicine, physical therapy and nursing needs to know in order to continue their studies. The material of the book is classified into five chapters, following topographical criteria. An effort has been made so that the anatomy of the musculoskeletal system is not disconnected from clinical practice and the patient. In order to achieve this, clinical extensions and correlations of the anatomy are presented, in order to make the subject more understandable and to be connected with the pathology presented by the musculoskeletal system. Clinical information is presented in different characters so that it is distinct and facilitates the student's study. In this way, the student realizes the usefulness and necessity of good knowledge of anatomy and is facilitated so that his knowledge is consolidated.

description: The book “Energy Resources and Politics from the 19th to 21st Century” examines the strategic importance of energy resources for contemporary states and the claims over them during the 19th and 20th centuries. We follow the transition from the age of coal to the age of oil, Europe’s attempt at energy self-sufficiency and the rally between Europe and the USA for exploiting oil resources in the East and the Ottoman Empire. We investigate how oil exploration affected the strategy of the parties involved in WW II, the post-war USA presence in the Middle East, the oil crisis in the ‘70s and its consequences. We consider the coal-to-oil ratio in Europe, the exploration of new sources of hydrocarbons, as well as possible alternatives to the energy puzzle. We further analyze the policies of oil-producing countries, along with the geopolitics of oil and natural gas pipes. We examine the dependence of Europe on Russia with concern to hydrocarbons, the Ukraine-Russia conflict, the stance of Turkey and the inauguration of new oil-related wars in the Middle East. Concerning the Greek case, we examine the energy dependence of Greece, the exploitation of lignite and oil reserves, and issues relating to the EEZ and the energy policy, considering the Eastern Mediterranean's importance to Europe. Finally, the book takes an interest in current global antagonism instances and the energy policy of the USA and China.

description:
Many factors can affect the combat effectiveness and safety of the warfighter in an operation. The most important exogenous factors that can affect, to a small or large degree the combatant's operational capability are the environment (hot environment, cold environment, humid environment, altitude, atmospheric pollution, high hydrostatic water pressure during immersion), the characteristics of the operation (duration, intensity, ground characteristics) and the equipment (clothing, armament). Likewise, the activities for carrying out and completing the mission, such as excavation and manual material handling, play an important role. Also, the fighter's load carriage and shooting ability are central to its combat effectiveness in a mission. Finally, endogenous factors are also important, such as the fighter's age, gender and physical characteristics, as well as proper nutrition, hydration and mental strength. All of the above factors interact, to a lesser or greater degree, making operational efficiency an intractable equation.
The role of the trainers is to maximize the combatant's operational capacity always with the maximum safety. Maximization can be achieved by optimizing opposing factors. This textbook examines each of these factors and their possible interactions, with an emphasis on the physiological responses of the combatant's body, which lead to a reduction of their performance and/or inability to carry on, an important factor which can potentially jeopardize their safety.

description: Hemostasis is a fundamental function in blood physiology and is therefore a central focus of modern hematology. However, it is also relevant to all medical specialties, as both hemorrhage and thrombosis represent two critical aspects of a balanced system that protects the body and are manifestations of various pathological conditions. Today, thrombosis in any form is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, while hemorrhagic syndromes, whether hereditary or acquired, and often difficult to treat, are significant causes of both morbidity and mortality. Recognizing this, the Foundation of the Hellenic Society of Hematology decided to publish this manual for a broader medical audience, particularly young doctors. The manual aims to assist with both addressing problems encountered in daily clinical practice and identifying potential research areas. This book is written in a mixed style, combining encyclopedic knowledge with practical advice. Across thirty chapters, authored by experts in the field, it thoroughly covers both the theory and clinical practice related to hemostasis issues. The comprehensive approach taken by the authors not only enhances the quality of the knowledge presented but also reflects the broader philosophy of Greek hematology, aiming to foster a deeper understanding and a modern approach to managing hemorrhage and thrombosis for the optimal treatment of patients.

description: It is common in Probability Theory that the distribution of random variables concentrates around a typical value, in the limit of some parameter. A classic example is the law of large numbers, by which the average of independent, identically distributed random variables concentrates around their common mean, as their number tends to infinity. Whenever we can infer an asymptotically typical behaviour, it is natural to ask about typical fluctuations, as well as the probability to observe a large deviation from the typical behaviour. This question, that is the asymptotic analysis of rare events and its consequences, is the central question of the Theory of Large Deviations. More than an area of Probability Theory, the Theory of Large Deviations is a set of principles, ideas and tools that can be useful in very diverse areas of Probability, and, in this sense it intersects most areas of Probability Theory. The aim of this book is to introduce the reader to the Theory of Large Deviations, as well as to showcase its many applications, which even extend to other scientific disciplines.

description:
The present textbook is a Grammar of Modern Greek (written in English) which aims at familiarising intermediate learners with the grammar of levels B1-B2. The material presented in this book follows up the material presented in Modern Greek: Grammar Notes for Absolute Beginners (Kallipos, 2015) keeping roughly the same principles and method of presentation:
•	Grammar points are presented in an everyday conversational style, which echoes teaching in class.
 The grammatical presentation is not exhausted in teaching the form/structure, it is combined with extensive comments regarding use/function. In cases where a form/structure relates to various uses/functions, the explanation given is based on a common semantic schema which takes different interpretations depending on the context.
•	The grammatical information is combined with practical guidance regarding Modern Greek grammars and dictionaries (e.g., how “passive” verbs are registered).
•	A particular emphasis is given to the strategies learners should develop in order to handle complex phenomena like aspect.
•	The presentation is based on numerous real-life examples (translated into English) to help learners fully understand a particular point.
•	Grammar points are combined with points about communication and culture, which have a linguistic reference.
The textbook consists of 11 chapters and a glossary (as a continuous text). It aims at covering the needs of intermediate learners, but also of those of the advanced level. Ιt could, also, be used as a reference book for teachers of these particular levels and for those who wish to advance their knowledge on Modern Greek.

description: The aim of this investigation is to enhance the practice of social work. To comprehend the roles of subjective decision-making and structural circumstances, a theoretical framework and analytical approach are necessary. Consequently, social workers face demanding tasks in managing vital and challenging issues concerning the livelihood trajectories of socially vulnerable individuals and groups. The sociological perspective, with its theoretical and research tools and methods, is contributing in investigating and managing social inequality, discrimination, and exclusion. The professional characteristics and current role of the Social Worker have undergone significant differentiation. Today, it is acknowledged that Social Work is structurally shaped by social factors and conditions. Social stratification processes, a structural feature of Western modern class societies, lead to social exclusion, vulnerability, and ultimately, social inequality. Based on the foregoing argument, it can be deduced that managing pathology or vulnerability is only a short-term measure. In the long run, a sustainable solution to vulnerability and pathology requires the undoing of a pathological culture. A long-term approach that considers the social and community factors that contribute to its development is necessary. Finally, sociological conceptualisation enables social workers to reflect critically beyond managing the effects of a phenomenon, towards reconsidering the underlying structural conditions that cause it. It also facilitates addressing the corresponding behaviors, attitudes, and practices that reproduce the phenomenon. Thus, the current study focuses on the 'social' and aims to enhance the Social Worker's toolbox to manage complex social issues, particularly those resulting from Permacrises phenomenon.

description:
The present textbook aims to function as a source of information and of a critical understanding of 20th-century Greek music. It is based on the thriving general recent research, as well as on the writer’s previous extended research on this field. This textbook aspires to provide a multi-layered understanding of Greek music, based on historical, analytical and aesthetic approaches.
It consists of an introductory chapter, which discusses the state of the research on the field and questions and problematizes the existent historiographical and analytical approaches, and nine chapters that develop three wider topics.
The first topic focuses on Greek music history. More specifically, it focuses οn how, and why, different aesthetic movements emerged and dominated during different periods of the 20th century. The second topic is discussed in four chapters that consist of different analytical approaches to the music of the era. The specific topics discussed are: the relationship between music and speech, the different approaches to the issue of modal structure in the music of the first half of the century, the interesting assimilation of twelve-note technique by early Greek modernism and the wider osmosis of Greek musical modernism with Greek ancient drama, as text and performance.
The last, extended chapter, discusses the third theme of the book: the aesthetic and cultural approaches to Greek music of the era. It centres on the notions of organicism and Greekness and asserts that these two ideas essentially offer two potent theoretical tools in order to understand the course of Greek art music of the 20th century as a whole.
In short, this textbook offers to the reader a multidimensional narrative of the course of 20-century Greek music: from historical information, to detailed analytical observation, to aesthetic and cultural contemplation and interpretation.

description:
Το παρόν βιβλίο απευθύνεται σε κάπως προχωρημένους προπτυχιακούς φοιτητές μαθηματικών και φυσικής καθώς και σε αντίστοιχους μεταπτυχιακούς φοιτητές.
Το βασικό θέμα επεξεργασίας είναι η θεωρία διαφορικών πολλαπλοτήτων και πολλαπλοτήτων Riemann.
Θα γίνεται προσπάθεια ώστε οι έννοιες να παρουσιάζονται με απλό τρόπο και με χρήση παραδειγμάτων χρήσιμων στους μαθηματικούς και στους φυσικούς.
Αρχικά θα παρουσιάζονται κάποιες βασικές έννοιες (εφαπτόμενο διάνυσμα, διανυσματικό πεδίο, διαφορική μορφή) στον Ευκλείδειο χώρο R^n, υπό μία οπτική ώστε να είναι εύκολη και φυσιολογική η γενίκευσή τους στις πολλαπλότητες που θα ακολουθήσουν. Θα αναπτύσσεται στη συνέχεια η θεωρία διαφορικών (λείων) πολλαπλοτήτων και πριν τις πολλαπλότητες Riemann θα γίνει μια αναφορά στους τανυστές (κ,λ)-τάξης.
Στη συνέχεια, θα παρουσιαστούν βασικά σημεία της θεωρίας των ομάδων Lie και θα γίνει αμέσως εφαρμογή στη γεωμετρια των ομάδων Lie (αριστερά αναλλοίωτες μετρικές, καμπυλότητα κλπ). Τέλος, ως φυσικό επακόλουθο, θα παρουσιαστούν κάποια στοιχεία της θεωρίας των ομογενών χώρων (γεωμετρία κατά Klein), δηλαδή μιας πολλαπλότητας της μορφής Μ = G/K, όπου G μια ομάδα Lie και Κ μια κλειστή υποομάδα Lie αυτής.

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

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

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

Το συγκεκριμένο βιβλίο έχει σκοπό να καλύψει ένα μεγάλο φάσμα θεμάτων των σύγχρονων βιοεπιστημών κάτω από το ενοποιητικό πρίσμα της υπολογιστικής βιολογίας. Στο επίκεντρό του βρίσκονται οι υπολογιστικές προσεγγίσεις σε προβλήματα ανάλυσης βιολογικών δεδομένων και από αυτήν την άποψη η θεματολογία του βρίσκεται στην τομή διαφορετικών ειδικοτήτων με το κύριο βάρος να μοιράζεται μεταξύ των βιοεπιστημών, των μαθηματικών και της στατιστικής και της επιστήμης υπολογιστών.
Η θεματολογία του βιβλίου θα διαρθρωθεί σε 13 κεφάλαια σε αναλογία με τον αντίστοιχο αριθμό εβδομάδων ενός ακαδημαϊκού εξαμήνου. Από αυτά, το πρώτο και το τελευταίο θα περιέχουν τις βασικές εισαγωγικές έννοιες και παραδείγματα εφαρμογής της Υπολογιστικής Βιολογίας αντίστοιχα, ενώ τα ενδιάμεσα 11 θα είναι αφιερωμένα σε συγκεκριμένα βιολογικά προβλήματα. Πιο αναλυτικά, το βιβλίο θα καλύπτει θέματα ανάλυσης αλληλουχιών (γονιδιωματική σύσταση, πρωτοταγής δομή, μοτίβα, στοίχιση πρωτοταγών αλληλουχιών, Κεφ 2-5), μελέτης δευτεροταγούς δομής βιολογικών αλληλουχιών (Κεφ 6), φυλογενετικής ανάλυσης (Κεφ 7), ανάλυσης της γονιδιακής έκφρασης (Κεφ 8-9), μελέτης βιολογικών δικτύων (Κεφ 10), ανάλυσης της γενετικής ποικιλομορφίας (Κεφ 11) και επεξεργασίας βιολογικών δεδομένων μεγάλης κλίμακας (Κεφ 12).
Κάθε κεφάλαιο θα διαρθρώνεται με τρόπο τέτοιο ώστε να καλύπτει τόσο τις βασικές βιολογικές αρχές του υπο μελέτη προβλήματος, όσο και τις μαθηματικές έννοιες και τις υπολογιστικές μεθοδολογίες για την επίλυσή του. Παράλληλα με την ανάπτυξη των θεμάτων θα υπάρχουν μια ή περισσότερες πρακτικές ασκήσεις που σκοπό θα έχουν την εξοικείωση των φοιτητών με τις αντίστοιχες μεθοδολογίες, καθώς ανάμεσα στους στόχους του συγκεκριμένου συγγράματος είναι να μπορεί να λειτουργήσει ταυτόχρονα και σαν εργαστηριακό εγχειρίδιο. Στο τέλος κάθε κεφαλαίου θα παρατίθενται παραδείγματα εφαρμογών και αναλυτική βιβλιογραφία με υποδείξεις για το επιπέδο στο οποίο ο φοιτητής επιθυμεί να εμβαθύνει τις γνώσεις του σε συγκεκριμένα επιμέρους θέματα.

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

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

Fundamentals of Evolutionary Biology

keywords:
Evolution
Population Genetics
Molecular Evolution

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

uk: Математика, природничі науки

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

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

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

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

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