description: Physical exercise plays a key role in human health and fitness. An essential part of physical exercise is resistance training, which improves overall health, muscle strength, body metabolism, as well as the cardiovascular system. Scientific methods towards designing resistance training programs have evolved rapidly in the last years. As a result, designing of strength training programs has become an integral part of an Undergraduate Program of Kinesiology/Physical Education and Sports. This book contains comprehensive theoretical and practical information for the design of more effective and safer resistance training programs. It gathers basic knowledge of anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, biomechanics, endocrinology, nutrition and training needed by the health professionals to design effective and safe strength training programs avoiding injuries for athletes, sick people and people who adopt a sedentary life. The book also contains examples of resistance training programs, a detailed description and figures of strength training exercises, practical questions and problems as well as specific learning objectives in the beginning of each chapter. Moreover, emphasis is given in muscular strengthening throughout childhood for the elderly and for people of both genders. Each chapter cites references to important scientific literature that has substantially changed sports science, as an incentive for young scientists to engage in scientific research.

description: The purpose of the book is to provide theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the use of Management Accounting techniques for the planning and control of business operations in the modern business environment. The content of the book is structured in such a way to consider the dynamic external environment and the uncertainty that characterizes it. In particular, the management accounting actions of costing and budgeting as well the measurement of the overall performance of the company, are approached from a new perspective by incorporating basic principles of strategic management. At the same time, excel spreadsheet tools such as the Scenario Analysis and Sensitivity Analysis are employed to check the sensitivity of the results to changes in critical variables. Regarding the content and structure of the 10 chapters, they can be summarized in three sections: In the first section (Chapters 2-6), methodological issues of the preparation of managerial accounting reports for cost management purposes are covered. The second section (Chapters 7-8) describes the methodology for setting budgets, both operational and cash budgets and in chapter 9 the framework for measuring the overall performance of companies. The last chapter (Chapter 10) presents detailed empirical case studies where the above methodological frameworks are applied.

description:
Ultrasonography is a fundamental tool in every day
clinical practice in Emergency Medicine and Critical
Care. The skills in order to handle this tool in the critical
care patients at its best should be obtained after standardized
education. The advantages of Critical Care Ultrasonography
have long been identified, as it can answer
clinical questions and guide management (diagnostics,
invasive procedures, monitoring). As it happens
with every technological advancement, in order
to gain the most benefit clinicians should combine
knowledge gained from special treatment, with the
skills. Thus, the potential for specific education on acquisition
and interpretation of ultrasonographic images
from every organ of the human body should be provided
to every Critical Care physician. Moreover, every
educational program should be accompanied with an
integrated approach of theoretical education on ultrasonography.
The present manual aims at providing the
basic theoretical knowledge on ultrasonography, so
that Critical Care Ultrasound can become a prerequisite
examination, combined with clinical evaluation of
the patients, to reach the diagnosis and monitor the efficacy
of treatments followed. Special attention should
be paid in the hemodynamic evaluation of the patients,
as hemodynamic instability and its treatment are everyday
problems that critical care doctors must deal
with. Therefore, using critical care ultrasonography,
the physician should be able to differentiate shock (obstructive,
cardiogenic, distributive, hypovolemic), manipulate
ventilator settings, guide the weaning process.
In the present manual, the first three chapters are
dedicated to the basics in ultrasonography and the
principles of echocardiographic image acquisition in
transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography.
The rest seven chapters refer to the basic pathological
conditions of the heart that a critical care doctor should
be able to identify. Chapters 11 and 12 concern lung ultrasonography
and transcranial ultrasound, that represent
fundamental skills for the physicians dealing with
critical care patients in the Intensive Care Unit and the
Emergency Department, as they can substitute chest
x-rays and computed tomography scans, preventing
the patients from being exposed to unnecessary radiation
and reducing unnecessary patient transfer.

description: Energy, as a fundamental resource of great importance for the profitability of a company or for the development of an economy, needs sound management in order to deliver what is anticipated. Furthermore, natural resources are being evaluated by humans and their value is being assessed according to their function or the activity they contribute to. In this context, after the economic dimension of ecological systems is presented, the relationship between environment and economic development is then explained by describing the balance between economy and environment, the relationship between economic prosperity and environmental quality, the competitive and monopolistic markets, the effects on economy and trade by the response measures to environmental problems and the correlation between population, economy and environment. Next, the economics and management of natural resources are being analyzed, the economics of recycling (economic implications from the depletion of natural resources, economics of recycling and solid waste management, economic analysis of recycling programs - case studies) and the economics of environmental standards and environmental incentives. The analysis then focuses on energy and energy resources where the basic concepts and units of energy are provided, the forms of energy are presented, the laws of thermodynamics are analyzed and the electrical and nuclear energy as well as the renewable forms of energy (hydrodynamic energy, wind energy, solar energy, geothermal energy, biomass etc.) are described. Afterwards, a detailed reference to the theoretical framework of energy management is made, where the basic principles of energy management are described and concepts such as the rational use of energy, energy auditing, energy security and energy development strategy are introduced. Finally, the current greek and international energy situation is presented, both in terms of energy consumption and production as well as in terms of energy reserves.

description: This book concerns the design of technology enhanced learning experiences considering teaching as a design science. It also covers the orchestration, the learning activity management and the reflection of the implementation of educational scenarios, in order to improve the scenarios per se as well as the ability to design and teach. Upon becoming acquainted with the field of Technology Enhanced Learning and Learning Design, the studier is introduced to selected design methodologies and generalized design patterns for educational materials and scenarios. Moreover, through case studies, the studier is guided to develop the ability to design educational scenarios that will make effective use of digital educational technologies both as information media as well as cognitive tools, in order to transform conventional pedagogical practices into more constructivist ones. Digital learning materials, as a building block of educational scenarios, are systematically classified into generalized interaction models with graded interactivity. This graduation supports designing with a controlled level of interactivity and utilization of modern teaching methods. The theoretical part of the book, which is independent of educational level, is completed by the assessment of learning and by reviewing the effectiveness of the scenarios based on their implementation experience, individually, in groups and within designer communities. Finally, case studies of implementing educational scenarios in real-life situations are analyzed and organized in sections, such as cross-thematic scenarios, mobile learning with the use of augmented reality and mobile devices, computational thinking and educational robotics, etc. Case studies focus on preschool education, although the scenario patterns can be useful in any educational setting. The textbook mainly concerns students of the Departments of Education and Preschool Education, as well as of Departments whose students attend courses for teacher license.

description: This book describes the most significant metallic mineral deposits of Greece and the conditions of their formation in relation to the geotectonic evolution of the Hellenides. Emphasis is given on the geology, the tectonics, the host rocks, and the mineralogical and geochemical composition of these deposits. The chapters of this book refer to the brief historical background of the mining activity in Greece since the prehistoric period, to the geotectonic evolution and metallogenesis, and to the classification of the Greek deposits in the different metallogenic provinces. The orthomagmatic Cr deposits in ophiolite complexes, the volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) deposits, as well as the metamorphic Mn-rich deposits, all of Mesozoic age, are described. The book also refers in details to the mineralization, which is associated with the Cenozoic magmatism, and is restricted mainly in the two large exhumed metamorphic complexes of Greece, the Rhodope and Serbo-Macedonian massifs in the north and the Attic-Cycladic belt in the south. These mineralizations include intrusion-hosted, skarn, carbonate-hosted replacement, porphyry and epidermal deposits. The Cenozoic polymetallic veins hosted in metamorphic rocks, the oxidized Fe, Mn, and Zn deposits, the Fe-Ni laterite deposits, the Al-bearing bauxite deposits, the Au, Pt, and REE enriched placer deposits, and the metal-bearing hydrothermal fields in the South Aegean active volcanic arc and in Central and Northern Greece are also described. At the end of the book, there is a review of the presence of rare and critical metals in the deposits of Greece, while the last chapter provides detailed geological and mineralogical data of two important metallogenic regions of southeastern Europe, in NE Chalkidiki and in Lavrion.

description:
.Optometry is an autonomous profession in the field of health, which requires special training and is governed by specific rules.
The science of Optometry includes a number of special techniques for diagnosing and investigating optometric problems. Visual acuity is the measurement of the ability to distinguish two stimuli, which are separated in space, in high contrast compared to the background. Visual acuity is a measure of a person's ability to analyze minimal details. The recording of visual acuity is used to evaluate the adequacy of corrective glasses but also as a general indicator of eye health and good vision function. Visual acuity is also used to assess whether or not a person is capable of driving a vehicle or hired for certain professions. Sensitivity of light contrast is a psychophysical examination of the quality of vision. It is based on the change of the spatial frequency of the fixed targets, either by the projection of stimuli of gradual damping of its intensity, or by the formation of a periodic increase and decrease of it (as in gratings), which usually differ only in spatial frequency. Emmetropia is the ideal refractive effect in which the distal point of clear vision is at infinity. When the distal point is not at the infinity, the effect is called ametropia, the eye is called ametropic leading to a blurred vision.
Adaption is a change in the visual power of the eye in order to form a clear image at different distances. This is achieved by the "mechanism" of adjustment. As a normal part of the aging process, the lens becomes less elastic with age due to the hardening of the lens fibers and capsular changes. The provision of eye health services requires excellent record keeping and data collection. Comprehensive record keeping ensures the continuity of eye care, meets medical and legal requirements and highlights professionalism.

description: The book deals with the content of modern sociological theories and in particular theories and research findings that emerged during the transition to the 21st century, at a time that seems to be the beginning of an increasing complexity of social problems. It is also a period in which sociological theory faces the challenges of a multifaceted reality with new explanatory and interpretive tools, maintaining on the one hand the connection with the classics, and on the other hand trying to understand and intervene scientifically in socially differentiated environments from those corresponding to the historical development of classical sociological theories. In particular, most of the new Sociological theories challenge, as discussed in the book, sociological monism and extend to multi-paradigmatic sociological references and, moreover, develop comparative theoretical models based mainly on the historicity and diversity of cultural patterns. The starting point of these theories, as well as their extension to the postmodern is the Weberian tradition and the subjectively implied performance of social meaning, as well as the rise and importance of the hermeneutic passage in linguistic-symbolic meaningful acts and intentions of social actors according to action plans that they have devised themselves. This starting point led to discontinuities and ruptures with the classical reading of the objective world, as well as to the development of New Historical Sociology, Social Phenomenology, as well as to new versions of Social Constructivism and the Sociology of Knowledge. In general, these approaches particularly emphasize the historical variability of symbolic social structures by criticizing structuralism. Finally, the book explores the possibilities of "conversation" between sociological trends and the cognitive sciences, as well as Sociobiology.

description: In recent decades, significant changes have taken place in the "philosophy" of pig production, with a direct impact on the productive and reproductive parameters of sows, and consequently on the management of farms worldwide. More specifically, pig farming has focused mainly on the genetic improvement of sows to create high prolific sows, with the aim of increasing the size of the calving group, as well as the rapid growth capacity of fattening pigs. These new directions are accompanied by significant changes and effects on the health and welfare of sows and their piglets. Veterinary Science is called upon to contribute both to the utilization of the genetic improvement of pigs (increased multiplicity, rapid growth capacity) and the treatment of its effects on the health, welfare and productivity of pigs. In this direction, research in Veterinary Science is evolving rapidly, utilizing innovative tools and technological development. Increased litter size in modern industrial farms is a key goal of pig farmers and veterinarians. The handbook aims to support undergraduate students and professional veterinarians both in understanding pathology issues and the management of high prolific sows, and in managing the effects of increased litter size on their health and welfare. In particular, this textbook analyzes: 1) pathophysiological and environmental risk factors for the health and welfare of high prolific sows, 2) effects of the increased litter size on the health and welfare of the sows, 3) the importance and the characteristics of the colostrum/milk, 4)  health problems of the newborn piglets with increased litter size and 5) treatment of the effects of the increased litter size on the health and welfare of the piglets.

description: In contrast to the high environmental impact of conventional fossil fuels and mineral nuclear fuels, the Renewable Energy Sources analyzed in this textbook are related to the most clean and environmentally friendly sources that can support the 100% energy transition to zero-emission technologies, such as solar thermal for heat, solar photovoltaic for power plants and buildings, onshore and offshore wind energy, concentrated solar, hydropower energy and small hydroelectric projects, geothermal electricity and heat. The potential and the energy conversion systems of solar, wind and water energy to electricity and heat are analyzed in detail in the respective chapters of the textbook. In addition, an introduction on energy utilization of biomass and the storage of RES intermittent electricity are also presented. Due to the increase of RES share in the energy mix and the current energy transition, special emphasis is given to the understanding of the utilization of RES energy systems with energy but also environmental indicators, in contributing to the environmental sustainability and the mitigation of climate crisis. Therefore, the textbook concludes with an environmental assessment of RES systems.

description: This book contains the chapters of “Fluid Mechanics” that are considered essential for Naval Architects. It starts with the basic theory of Fluid Dynamics which is also useful for a more general audience, like the fluid kinematics and the equations of fluid motion, the theory of dimensional analysis and the theory of boundary layers. In the introductory chapters there is systematic use of vector analysis, which facilitates the derivation of the equations of fluid motion. Subsequently, two areas of fluid mechanics which are useful specifically to Naval Architects are covered, namely the theory of lifting flows and the theory of water waves. The theory of lifting flows, which consists of the theory of thin hydrofoils and of the theory of lifting surfaces, is an essential tool for the analysis and design of marine propellers. The theory of water waves is a required knowledge for the computation of the wave resistance of ships and the analysis of the dynamics of ships in the ocean. As both areas, lifting flows and water waves, rely upon the assumption of irrotational flow, the book contains a chapter where the theory of irrotational flow is covered rather extensively. Finally, solved exercises have been included in all chapters to aid with the understanding of the theory.

description: The study of histomorphological alterations refers to the macroscopic and microscopic examination of tissues and organs in order to detect deviations from the normal macroscopic or histological image. The whole procedure is done after taking a biopsy, processing the sample and taking histological slides. A prerequisite for a successful study is the very good knowledge of the normal histological structure. Knowledge of the observed histomorphological lesions in aquatic animal is a professional and encyclopedic tool for biologists, agriculturalists and veterinarians. The book covers a wide range of macroscopic and microscopic alterations that occur in fish and aquatic decapod crustaceans. The main goal is the smooth transition from the normal imaging of an organism to the recognition of macroscopic and microscopic alterations. For this reason, it was necessary to mention in detail the concepts and techniques of fish necropsy, tissue collection and preparation. The variety of images presented in this book will greatly contribute to the understanding and clarification of the various histological alterations.

description:
This book has been written primaly for postgraduate students of Pharmacy in order to have a modern text to complement lectures on the use of natural products in Cosmetology. However, it is also valuable  in other courses that include the study of natural products.
For centuries, products for external use, either for beautification or for the treatment of dermatological diseases, were completely of natural origin and consisted of herbs, animal products and inorganic ingredients.
As we age, our skin becomes dry, scaly, itchy, develops wrinkles, sun pigmentation and in some Consequently, it becomes less plesant to look and touch. In fact, we know that aging is evolutionary and only partially modifiable. At the same time, the equation "ugly skin (appearance) = ugly person" can lead to "aging stress".
This book aims to provide some tools in understanding the aging process and skin appearance what can or cannot be changed through the use of cosmetics . Consequently, it will facilitate the acceptance of the invariant and encourage further investigation of the processes that can be controlled.
In recent years, impressive new technologies have been developed to measure and asses skin aging. Therefore, the treatment of skin disorders observed during aging is facilitated.
This book presents recent scientific findings concerning natural products, as well as their action in the treatment of skin aging. The first two chapters deal with the physiology and structure of the skin. Then herbal drugs and marine organisms used in cosmetics are presented in alphabetic order. Moreover, moisturizing  products, pigments of natural origin, oils, fats and waxes used in cosmetics are mentioned. This is followed by chapters with  natural ingredients helpful,  in the treatment of skin diseases, such as acne, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis as well as wound healing . Finally, natural ingredients used in oral hygiene products are listed. The last chapter presents the theories related to the aging process and the role of neuropeptides in inflammation.

description: This innovative textbook presents the theories and applications of leisure and recreation in order to be used in both education and research, but also to be a guide to practical applications. The first part of the book consists of six chapters, through which the multidisciplinary nature of recreation is established, successfully connected with related sciences of leisure, related to outdoors, sports and arts. A combined analysis of the concepts of leisure and recreation is attempted in the general light of the sociological as well as the pedagogical concept. Fundamental principles are also analyzed, linking recreation to outdoor activities, tourism, adventure, management, and subdivision into sub-categories, depending on the type of services provided and the characteristics of the participating groups. The concept of leisure is then linked to sports and the psychological benefits of participating in structured and non-structured programs. Recreation is determined according to the biological functions of the human body, and the main mechanisms that form the stimulus for the human body are described. In addition, the basic theoretical knowledge for the wellbeing, through leisure activities, for the elderly is given and reference is made to the biological, psychological, and sociological theories of aging. Finally, the concepts of leisure, recreation, art, culture, creativity, through the body and somatic movement are correlated. The activities of yoga, pilates, dance and theater are analyzed, and they are related to natural environment and tourism. The second part of the book also consists of six chapters corresponding to the thematic areas of the chapters of the first part, which present good practices and applications of events, programs, and active leisure activities with the theme of sports, nature, arts.

description: The Monograph examines the impact of digital marketing as well as digital innovations on markets, consumers and businesses. An extensive list of topics related to Social Media Marketing, mobile marketing, viral marketing and the impact on advertising, brand awareness, consumer search and profiling, online privacy and online reviews was explored. At the same time, the impact of Social Media Marketing on various sectors of the economy such as tourism, health, politics, education and human resource management was examined. In addition, the emerging area of mobile advertising is being considered, which can further improve online targeting. The adoption of smartphones by consumers is growing exponentially and offers marketers many new opportunities to reach out and serve customers. However, are consumers ready for marketing via their smartphones? Among other things, the research aims to investigate the willingness of consumers to accept marketing via Smartphones. Many of consumer data are transmitted to salespeople, and much of online advertising is transmitted to consumers through platforms such as Google. While online retail has grown rapidly, it still has a relatively small share of retail sales. Given the increased availability of detailed consumer data, channel sales are being explored, which highlights strategies for the various points of contact leading to a transaction. Finally, special attention has been paid to the crisis of the pandemic, therefore the penetration of Social Media Marketing in business activities has increased. The importance of the use of communication marketing tools as well as Social Media Marketing is pointed out.

description:
Nowadays it is more than ever critical for every firm to properly manage all the issues related to each financial operation. Modern companies and organizations must be able to identify and manage any problem that may arise, both internally and externally. The person that is in charge of this task is the Corporate Treasurer, a modern financial manager.
This introductory textbook describes all the tasks and the available financial tools for a company’s treasury department, to make optimal decisions on issues related to funding management, risk management, day-to-day transactions, and relationship with shareholders lenders, stakeholders and other organizations of the society and economy. Our scope is not only to theoretically present those issues. Instead, we accompany them with an analytical presentation of financial tools, methods, and indicators that will help students to proceed to the next step, being able to apply in practice each one of them. For that scope, we use both sources from international literature, and specialized websites for financial "Treasurers" and financial management worldwide, in most of the chapters of the textbook.
We hope that this work will fill an existed gap in the greek literature, where the functions of the treasury department are mainly included as subsets of the broader field of financial management. In this textbook, we analyze and focus on very specific functions and tools associated with this company's department, emphasizing financial strategy, funding, and risk management. The approach followed is explanatory to enable the reader with no in-depth knowledge of those issues of the textbook, to become familiar with them, achieving a better understanding of their importance in the decision-making process in the company level.

description: Home economics and development is the study of the family and the different types of family over time and depending on the needs and requirements of society, there are more than one family model. Family is a social group that is characterized by a dynamic development both in its form and in its content. Family is directly influenced by socio-economic changes and by the values and needs over time in specific societies. Family can be described as "urban" or "rural", depending on the area in which it lives, and as "nuclear" or "extended", depending on the people who live in the same house and share household chores. The study of marital status and the changes that occur at different times and places are a very important issue for anthropologists, ethnologists, sociologists, economists, and other researchers around the world. Furthermore, "home economics and development" is a course with important practical implications. It can contribute to social critique and practical social reform in a variety of ways. Initially, an improved understanding of a given set of socioeconomic conditions often gives everyone a better chance of controlling them. It also provides the means to raise cultural awareness and awareness of different cultural values. It can also explore the consequences (intentional or not) of adopting specific policy programs. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, it offers groups and individuals an increased opportunity to change their living conditions.

description: This textbook is the result of many years of teaching Medical Chemistry. Its main objective is the in-depth study of selected topics of General, Physical, Organic and Bio-organic Chemistry in order to form a solid chemical background, a general base of knowledge and concepts necessary, for the understanding and assimilation of the basics for medical and biomedical specialities courses in Biochemistry, Physiology, Pharmacology, Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine. This book offers an alternative approach to the study of the course material and to the creative learning through focused and specific questions as well as analytical responses,  suggesting a specific study plan.  In the sections of the textbook, a chemical background is first formed and then its value for the interpretation of biomedical phenomena and applications is demonstrated. For example, the periodic table is analyzed from a Medicine point of view, distinguishing the basic and trace elements of the human body, elements toxic to the human body (heavy metals). Similarly, the following suggestion concerning complex therapy and the treatment of mineral poisoning is based on the new, for students, knowledge of coordination compounds.

description: This textbook, which is aimed primarily at postgraduate students of pedagogical departments, presents specific forms of research in Science Education and Museology of Natural Sciences. Its content complements, updates and deepens the theoretical reflection and methodological approaches of two other books which appear in this book as a prerequisite knowledge: the "Issues of Natural Sciences. The construction of the school knowledge" and "The didactic approach of the museum of natural sciences". The textbook consists of eleven chapters divided into three thematic sections. The first section ("Teaching the natural sciences and students’ thinking") includes chapters that explore the epistemological background, the psychological dimension and the implications for the teaching of students' causal thinking, and especially the version of linear causal reasoning, a kind of reasoning which is a basic form of meaning rendering in the natural world from the youngest ages. The second section ("The cultural dimension of scientific knowledge in teaching") deals with the cultural character of the content of scientific knowledge which appears through the relationships formed between this content and history, philosophy, technology, art, and society in general. The third section ("Non-formal education in the natural sciences") focuses on research conducted in the context of non-formal education in the natural sciences, a research that presents interdisciplinary characteristics, since it is contacted in the intersection of at least three research fields, which are the Science Education, the Scientific Museology and the Science Communication.

description: A methodological proposal that responds to the demands of modern education is the so-called "Teaching Scenarios" (TS), since they create conditions for students' engagement with issues that interest them, encourage them to search answers to questions and problem solving, while at the same time familiarize them with cooperation and group discussions. This digital book addresses the pedagogical issues arising from Digital Media supported Teaching Scenarios (DMTS). It attempts to introduce readers to the logic of the Teaching Scenario from its conception, planning and implementation, up to its evaluation. The authors attempt to combine traditional teaching methods with modern connectivist theories that utilize the services of Web 2.0 and 3.0 considering that the development of a Teaching Scenario in the modern technologically enriched environment is a fascinating search and at the same time an intellectual adventure. In fact, the authors of the present project favor the development of Teaching Scenarios with the use of Digital Media, combining the advantages of the methodological approach of the TS with the parallel empowerment of students’ digital knowledge and skills. This particular combination can be an excellent exercise for today's students in relation to their future activity, both in the scientific and the wider professional field. The authors, being aware of the constantly changing educational environment and their personal limitations, attempt to provide a trigger, an occasion, the pretext and a justification to teachers of all educational levels, to participate in the creative process of developing Teaching Scenarios. Finally, the authors’ desire is to contribute to the pedagogical utilisation of Digital Media in the design and implementation of effective teaching.

description: In the Greek educational reality, on the one hand, teachers consider that the use and creation of their own videos is an important educational tool, while on the other hand, their use is very little. In this book, which is the fruit of research, teaching and actions of recent years, and contains individual texts, which were created for the needs of university education at the level of undergraduate, postgraduate and post-doctoral studies, an attempt is made to develop skills that will allow teachers to utilize videos in any form of training, live, blended or online. The structure of the book, which consists of three parts, reflects the way in which the topic of film and video in education is approached. In the first part, the film is approached as a cultural asset, its educational use is shown and the way of its analysis is captured so that it can be a teaching material, according to the curriculum. In the second part, the film is approached as an educational medium focusing on ways of its educational use at school. It is explained how the teacher, from a user, will be able to become the creator of instructional videos himself, in order to use them in teaching or in an educational channel that he will create or in a series of online courses, open to students. Finally, the third part presents digital tools for recording, editing, enriching and publishing videos, together with an indicative activity of exploiting their capabilities. These tools, when used by teachers, can improve the educational value of the final videos, making them even more effective when using them in educational practice.

description:
This book, entitled “Risk management for the preservation of cultural heritage: The ABC method”, discusses the risk management process in cultural heritage and presents in detail the ABC risk management method. The ABC method was developed between 2006 and 2012 and is the product of collaboration of CCI (Canadian Conservation Institute), ICCROM (International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property) and RCE (Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed).
The book refers to all kinds of cultural assets and expands with examples such as the applicability of the ABC method to archives and libraries, drawing from the author’s 20 years long experience as a professional conservator and preservation manager at the Greek State Archives.
Risk management is a comprehensive and modern approach to cultural heritage preservation, and has developed explosively in the last 20 years. It involves the survey of a cultural asset (simple, composite, movable, monument, building, a combination of the above), aiming at the identification, analysis, quantification, evaluation and treatment of the risks that threaten it.
Due to its great importance, the topic or risk management is included in the curriculum of the post graduate program “Information management in Libraries, Archives and Museums” of the Department of Archival, Library & Information Studies, University of West Attica.
This book, in addition to being a complete scientific report on risk management in cultural heritage, it constitutes a practical guide for the implementation of the ABC method. It begins with an introduction to the concepts of cultural heritage and risk management, followed by a critical literature review of the most important risk management methods, concluding that the ABC method is the most comprehensive, mature and practically applicable method available (Part A, chapters 1 and 2). The method and its implementation is presented step by step in the following second part of the book (Part B, chapters 3 to 8). Important concepts for the understanding of the implementation of the methods are discussed, such as the frameworks that aid the researcher to identify, analyze, quantify, evaluate and treat the risks (the ten agents of deterioration, the three types of risk occurrence, the five stages of control, the six layers around the heritage asset, and the three sources of knowledge). Finally, in Part C (chapters 9 to 17), the ten agents of deterioration are discussed in some detail.
The second part of the book (chapters 3 to 8) presenting the implementation of the ABC method is based on the translation and adaptation (with permission from the authors and the organization) of the book by Stefan Michalski and Jose Luiz Pedersoli Jr (2016), The ABC Method: a risk management approach to the preservation of cultural heritage, Canadian Conservation Institute (https://www.iccrom.org/publication/abc-method-risk-management-approach-preservation-cultural-heritage).
Information are also drawn from the book by AW Brokerhof, HA Ankersmit και FJ Ligterink (2017), Risk management for collections. Amersfoort, Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (https://www.cultureelerfgoed.nl/publicaties/publicaties /2017/01/01/risk-management-for-collections).
The third part if the book, entitled “The ten agents of deterioration” is mainly based on the translation and adaptation of excerpts (with permission from the authors) on the above mentioned book.

description:
The book "Socialization. The contribution of socialization to social man’s formation" focuses on socialization as a process very essential for man, from his already embryonic state, for the formation and development of his personality. It is the process through which man becomes human, that is he acquires and develops qualities that determine his human existence.
This book contributes to the understanding of the human social personality and how it is shaped through various factors and actors, such as heredity and the social environment in which man develops. The social environment includes the family with its influences, such as social origin, educational level, the position of the individual within the family, cultural level, economic level, place of residence, language used by the family, spiritual atmosphere etc., but also the school with the social climate of the classroom, the socialization of the teacher, the curriculum, the friendships and social networks with their culture (knowledge, attitudes, values, skills, etc.), the subculture or counterculture they adopt and promote etc. However, a general mapping of the field is attempted in terms of the various socialization agents, as this study focuses to the basic socialization agents, the family and the school.
At the same time, we try to examine socialization with reference to social and global problems, such as the issue of education and global knowledge in modern society, the ecological disaster, the new inequalities arising from the development of Information and Communication Technology and the digital divide, the issue of violence and aggression at school, as examples of the influence of social conditions on the socialization of the young individual.

description: Dental implants have been an established treatment option for partially and completely edentulous patients for decades. In the first years of their clinical use, the theoretical background on osseointegration and implant prosthodontics was covered by textbooks that have been characterized as “classical”, and any further research results were reported in scientific papers. During the years, the continuing introduction of new prosthetic components and treatment options has led to evolution in Implant Prosthodontics. Clinicians are informed on these innovations from research papers but each of them is focused on a specific topic or technique. The purpose of this book is to offer a thorough introduction to current Implant Prosthodontics, combining theory and practice in an easy-to-read manner. In each chapter the needed theoretical background and principles are reported, and the techniques are presented with clinical examples in step-by-step manner. The aim is to guide the dentist in his practice combining the needed knowledge with the clinical application and relevance. For this reason, it can be characterized as “A case-based Clinical Guide”. On the other side, clinicians are always concerned about the stages or steps in each technique and for this reason, emphasis has been given to the detailed description of each case with critical discussion on the selection of each specific treatment option. The content of this book is divided in 9 chapters that cover the whole clinical procedure for an implant restoration, from the presurgical evaluation to the fabrication and delivery. The chapters include the needed diagnostic elements for the treatment planning, the design and fabrication of radiographic and surgical guides, the impression techniques, the use of intra-oral scanning, an overview of cement- and screw retained restorations, the digital workflow in implant restorations and the principles for selection and fabrication of implant overdentures.

description:
It is not difficult to provide a (mainly descriptive) definition of Business Excellence, as several researchers have come up with different ones. The dimensions, content and essence of excellence, in principle, are difficult to be summarized in a single-meaning (or even multi-meaning) definition. It is a way of thinking and a philosophical system, and as such, undergoes an evolutionary process that continuously and dynamically shapes its content and form. Nevertheless, for the economy of the discussion, a definition of the concept is given: "Excellent is the organization that tries to satisfy all those involved in its operations, customers, suppliers, people, partners, society, etc., through what it achieves, the way it achieves it and based on what it aims to achieve".
The new globalized economy has created a different reality in the corporate landscape. Technology itself can no longer give them what they need to increase their performance. Intangible factors are not taken seriously even though they play an important role in performance and sustainability. Human resource management can become the driving force for an organization. Hence, if it tries to change its culture and invest in its people by training, motivating and inspiring them, then it is on a good track on its way to excellence.
This book examines the evolution of Business Excellence, its dimensions and international assessment frameworks. In addition, the cost of quality, quality measurement tools and quality management systems are examined. Moreover, the relationship of BE with innovation, corporate social responsibility and knowledge management is analyzed. Finally, the book closes by examining the extent to which the financial crisis of the last decade has affected the quality of businesses in Greece.

The present textbook is the first part of the two-volume textbook with general title Music in Italy from medieval times to the 21st century and subtitled Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, while the second volume with the subtitle From the Classical period to the 21st century covers music creation from the opening decades of the 18th century to the present day. The volume offers a historical, social, and cultural perspective of the musical developments in the Italian peninsula, from the first Christian centuries to the Baroque period. The historical narrative traces the paths of early Christian practices in order to approach and interpret the enormous body of religious melodies that subsequently formed the basis of western European music. The textbook explores the full gamut of musical activity, from ecclesiastic and devotional practices to courtly musical entertainment. Italian music during the Renaissance is viewed through the double prism of the influence of the Franco-Flemish School of composers, who shaped the polyphonic language and the main musical genres of the 15th and 16th centuries, and of the impact of Humanism on art and literature.
The aesthetic, philosophical, and artistic explorations that took place in important italian centers (Florence, Rome, Venice, Ferrara, etc.) during the 16th century affected decisively the musical developments, culminating to the new genre of opera that quickly brought Italy to the epicenter of western musical culture. The third part of the volume (the baroque period) explores the genre of opera and its sacred counterpart, the oratorio, along with new instrumental genres (the concerto, the trio sonata, etc.), which grew partly as a result of the flourishing Italian instrument-making workshops and the rigorous music printing activity.

description:
Each year, human draws from the environment more and more energy and water resources, raw materials and goods, in the framework of a growing and more demanding world. At the same time, the marine ecosystem is burdened every year more and more by anthropogenic activities, and their consequences are expected to limit the available natural resources in future. At the same time, the growing trend of extracting and processing oil and natural gas from marine areas requires modern sea transport procedures through which these products will be stored and transported to the consumer- countries. Trade in goods by ship is still the main mode of transport for international trade, since over 80% of world trade is carried out by sea. The aforementioned trend in maritime transport must be done in safe conditions for the marine and coastal environment and without disturbing the balance of its aquatic ecosystems.
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has focused on many environmental issues, with the result that this policy causes corresponding developments in shipping issues. In this context, shipping is entering a new era, in which navigation and general transport management processes are increasingly automated. However, there are several concerns about how easy it is to combine all of the above, i.e. protecting the environment, not accelerating climate change, developments in technology, the possibility of rapid assimilation of new technologies by seafarers, etc. Realizing the difficulties of situation, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO) try to standardize the products and services used by users (shippers) using uniform procedures and standards (Standards). The above standardization makes use of the already acquired experience and knowledge of the parties involved in shipping and aims to provide directions, so that states can achieve the greatest possible uniformity in the issued nautical charts and other maritime publications.

description: This book is an attempt to establish a holistic theoretical and methodological approach in the field of exhibition design, whether it is developed within the institutional and spatial boundaries of a permanent museum institution or not. The whole approach is based on the assumption that an exhibition is a multimedial and multimodal narrative tool. Thus, first of all, we examine how the fundamental principles of narratology can offer an alternative perspective on the process of creating an exhibition. Then, the individual narrative tools that can be used in an exhibition are analyzed theoretically and methodologically: the static and the cinematic image, the sound and the text. The approach of each tool is based on the combination of specialised literature related to this tool, with the relevant discussion that has been developed in the field of exhibitions. Although the separate approach of each narrative tool was deemed appropriate to delve into its particular features, potential and limitations, each chapter makes particular reference to the way in which it will ultimately work with the rest to produce a unified narrative whole. Thus, special importance is given to how all the above are composed within a specific spatial environment, which is the main narrative canvas, as is the case in a modern theatrical scenography.

description: The purpose of the book is to assist, mostly undergraduate, students, with issues arising in choosing and conducting statistical analyses using two statistical software, SPSS, and EVIEWS. The necessary theory is covered and a step-by-step guide on how to perform various statistical analyses is presented. The material covers, in a condensed way, introductory but fundamental principles and concepts of statistics that are useful for an undergraduate student. Starting with a short introduction, the book proceeds with a description of the aforementioned statistical software. Then, various statistical tools are briefly presented, both in theory, and how to apply them using statistical software. The range of the tools is quite diverse and addresses students who want to learn more about the field of statistics and econometrics. For instance, visualization of variables, parametric and non-parametric hypothesis testing (normality, correlation, dependence, means etc.) are presented. Emphasis is given in regression, simple and multiple, while more advanced techniques are mentioned, such as logistic regression and discriminant analysis. To facilitate the acquaintance of students with the English terminology an English-Greek dictionary of statistical terms lies at the end of the book.

description: Despite the fact that they have been neglected from educational and political bodies throughout the years, multigrade schools remain a reality on an international level, mainly because of the special geomorphological conditions of the areas in which they exist. Furthermore, their presence is predicted to intense in the future as well. Children with a wide range of ages, skills and abilities, interests, maturity levels and needs coexist in these schools. The organization of small schools, considering many factors, is thought to be necessary. in order to deal  with the difficulties that arise, as a result of the organizational and functional conditions of Small schools, to be confronted, Moreover the work of teachers has to be made easier and a high quality education for their students has to be assured.. The main subject of this paper is to present the different ways students can work in multigrade schools. It is supported by a number of points regarding the preparation and planning of a lesson, which focus on issues such as dealing with the teaching time that is available, classroom organization and other factors that are basic for the support of the teaching and learning procedures.

description:
This textbook is addressed to undergraduate students of Library Science and Archives faculties as well as to related departments who have courses in documentation and catalogue/register/ bibliography creation etc. It is also addressed to employees of relevant institutions such as libraries and archives of the public and private sector, museums, documentation centers, bibliographic and publishing organizations and information institutions in general. It reflects the developments concerning the creation of catalogues in a digital environment, the new cataloguing rules that have emerged as a result of the potential of the semantic web and the technologies that support the description of information resources. It presents the possibilities of integrating old and new systems and the dynamics of standardization by presenting the most advanced international standards in this field. It includes a presentation of the context for the development and evolution of catalogues, the use and utility of specific processes in the digital realm and a presentation of standards.
It is also a guide to the implementation and development of catalogues based on the latest international standards (i.e. RDA) and the international guidelines that govern them. In this respect, we believe that the proposed text will also serve as a reference work when applied both in the context of academic studies and in the professional field. It is noted that this textbook can be a key tool for all cataloguing issues as it covers the main new rules in detail, including both the original documentation of the guidelines and examples of implementation. In addition to the new cataloging rules, a detailed presentation of the standards used by the automated systems of information organizations is given, making the manual fully applicable to any automated cataloging environment. Therefore, students as well as graduates of the aforementioned departments will have in their hands a comprehensive text on both theoretical and practical level.

description: The purpose of this book is to introduce the concepts and methods required to address Geometric Modeling problems. It first provides an introduction to Affine Geometry, giving the basic concepts and results on the affine spaces, the affine maps, as well as some classical theorems. Then this material is used for the presentation of polynomial curves and surfaces (Bézier form, B-spline curves and surfaces, interpolation curves, etc.), which are basic tools of Geometric Modelling. The approach chosen for the presentation of these topics is known as “blossoming” and is based on the use of polar forms, which lead naturally to the description of polynomial curves and surfaces with the help of their control points. This book is addressed to Mathematicians, Engineers, and Computer Scientists, who wish to familiarize themselves and study in depth basic tools of Geometric Modelling.
