description:
Το βιβλίο αυτό απευθύνεται κυρίως σε προπτυχιακούς φοιτητές σε Τμήματα Πολιτικών Μηχανικών ΑΕΙ και ΑΤΕΙ, οι οποίοι παρακολουθούν το αντίστοιχο μάθημα, δηλαδή τη ΣΤΑΤΙΚΗ Ι που αφορά σε ισοστατικούς φορείς. Στο βιβλίο παρουσιάζεται αναλυτικά μία σχετικά μεγάλη σειρά επιλεγμένων ασκήσεων που στοχεύουν στην εμπέδωση της κατανόησης των μεθόδων υπολογισμού των στατικών μεγεθών (έντασης και παραμόρφωσης) ισοστατικών φορέων.

Με στόχο τη δυνατότητα συστηματικής και μεθοδικής εξάσκησης του αναγνώστη, οι ασκήσεις είναι ταξινομημένες σε περισσότερες ομάδες που αντιστοιχούν σε ξεχωριστά κεφάλαια. Κάθε ομάδα ασκήσεων αναφέρεται σε ένα διακριτό τμήμα της θεωρίας που αφορά είτε σε κάποια μέθοδο υπολογισμού στατικών μεγεθών είτε σε κάποιον τύπο στατικού φορέα.

Οι λύσεις των ασκήσεων παρατίθενται λεπτομερώς και αναλυτικά, ενώ συχνά και σε διάφορα σημεία γίνονται υπενθυμίσεις θεμελιωδών εννοιών ή επισημάνσεις βασικών παραδοχών, προκειμένου - μέσω της επανάληψης - να εμπεδωθούν καλύτερα οι μέθοδοι και οι τεχνικές των στατικών υπολογισμών.

Για λόγους απλούστευσης των υπολογισμών και προβολής των ουσιωδών χαρακτηριστικών των χρησιμοποιούμενων μεθόδων επίλυσης, οι περισσότερες ασκήσεις του παρόντος τόμου αφορούν σε επίπεδους φορείς, χωρίς αυτό βέβαια να περιορίζει τη γενικότητα της χρησιμοποιούμενης διαδικασίας επίλυσης. Παρουσιάζονται όμως και αρκετές ασκήσεις χωρικών φορέων.

description:
We always took great interest in investigating human cognition. This effort seems to have found a particularly fertile ground in the Philosophy of Psychology and Cognitive Science where methodological approaches from many different research areas are productively combined. The main aim of this handbook is to introduce the reader to this particularly rich research field. Chapter 1 focuses on the multifaceted relationship between Psychology and Philosophy, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence. Chapter 2 introduces the reader to the nature of Concepts – the building blocks of thought, while Chapter 3 examines the basic theories about the origins of concepts. Chapter 4 introduces the reader to the basic theories about the nature of Emotions, and their contribution to human cognition. Chapter 5 focuses on the relationship between Language and Thought.
Chapters 6-8 study the cognitive architecture of the mind and present the basic aspects of the debate about the Modularity of Mind, Language of Thought, and views on Dynamic Cognitive Systems. Chapter 8 focuses on whether modules are innate or acquired.
Chapters 9-11 focus on phenomenal consciousness from different perspectives and present the "easy problems" and the "hard problem" of consciousness. Chapter 11 approaches consciousness through the perspective of the discussion about Embodied and Situated cognition.
Chapter 12 focuses on Grounded Cognition and discusses the contribution of sensorimotor representations to cognition.
Chapter (13) discusses the debate on whether it is appropriate to characterize different types of reasoning as the result of different cognitive systems.
This manual is complemented by two appendices. The first contains a brief index of the main concepts dealt with in the Philosophy of Psychology, and the second presents the basics of human brain physiology, allowing the reader to easily follow the empirical evidence presented in this manual.

description:
This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to key principles in phonetics and phonology with a special focus on the sound pattern of English. Both segmental and suprasegmental aspects of the language are explored and several of the main concepts of phonetics and phonology are discussed in relation to English, Greek, as well as other languages.
Initially, students are introduced to the study of phonetics. The need for a one-to-one correspondence between sounds and symbols is addressed, accompanied by the presentation of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Subsequently, the vocal tract and the articulation of consonants (place, manner, phonation) and vowels (tongue height, tongue backness, rounding, tenseness) are presented.  Special reference to the sounds of English and Greek is made.
In the phonological part of the textbook, students are first exposed to the core concepts of phonemic and allophonic distribution. Chief phonological processes are then demonstrated, such as assimilation, insertion, deletion and neutralisation. Basic theoretical tools are explored, including distinctive features and linear rules. Next, syllable structure and aspects of stress in English and elsewhere are discussed. The textbook  concludes with a brief overview of tone and intonation.
Throughout its length, the textbook features rich media content (recordings, images, videos) and several exercises. Some are analysed within the text, whereas others are intended as take-home exercises for students to practise their critical, analytical and problem-solving skills. Detailed answer keys are also provided.

description: The textbook at first covers material on complex numbers, with an emphasis on their geometric representation, their properties, the roots of unity and the Fundamental Theorem of Algebra. Then, the algebra of matrices is covered, with a discussion of Gauss' elimination method and its applications. A separate chapter is devoted to the study of the determinants of square matrices, followed by a study of the solutions of linear systems. The vector space Rn is studied, in particular R2 and R3. The definitions of lines and planes in Rn are carefully given. The solutions of linear systems are interpreted in R2 and R3 always giving an emphasis to the geometric interpretation. A chapter discussing linear functions follows and finally a chapter on eigenvectors, eigenvalues and matrix diagonalization. The textbook incorporates the use of Mathematica in a separate section in each chapter. In addition, each chapter includes a separate section with a wealth of solved exercises, while extensive hints for the exercises are given in the Appendix. Each chapter has its own bibliography. An index of terms and symbols is included.

description: In the early 1990s, an important observation was made for the first time that the coastal population had increased more than in any other zone. At the end of the 20th century, about two-thirds of the world's population lived within 100 km of the coastline, with an ever-increasing trend of movement for permanent residence and work. At the same time, the debate on climate change and its possible effects was launched and continues to this day without policies being incorporated into decision-making systems. To address these combined physical and social changes, the United Nations Conference (1992) chose to pursue sustainable coastal development through the implementation of integrated management systems. Beyond the ambiguity of the term "integrated management", for which many proposals have been made since the early 1990s, the inclusion of coastal management in the pursuit of sustainable development has rightly been perceived as a binding task. The joint pursuit of the integrity of coastal ecosystems, economic efficiency and social equity, which make up sustainable development, is a one-way street for maximising the benefits offered by the coastal zone, with all the difficulties inherent in the task due to the complex web of local ecosystems linking land, sea and the immediate atmosphere, increasing human pressure and the expanding use of natural and other resources. Coastal zone management is a complex process with strong contrasts and conflicts of interest between the individuals and actors involved, including those with economic interests in the coastal zone. This book studies the individual ecosystems of the coastal zone and provides the principles and conditions for the preparation of management plans for each case. At the end of the book, there are also supplementary chapters on the basic principles of coastal engineering as well as on contemporary management challenges.

description:
The efficacy of physical condition improvement for the Armed and Security Forces personnel is firstly, related with physical fitness assessment and secondly, with the control of training program implementation within various units.
Consequently, a necessary condition should include
the recording-standardization of all evaluation procedures in order to accurately collect and statistically analyze physical conditioning data for the Armed and Security Forces.
Furthermore, personnel must understand concepts, such as holistic fitness, physical fitness tests, occupational tasks, and scientific criteria of tests in order to determine the assessment procedure.
The analytical description of tests and physical fitness testing batteries, which comprise maximal strength-power, cardiorespiratory endurance, muscle endurance and mobility, is also considered essential for the assessment of these populations.
Besides this, the description of various characteristic instances, the Armed and Security Forces missions, as well as the current inexpediencies and potential improvement will determine the frame for selecting a physical fitness test.
In conclusion, the recommended physical fitness tests and physical fitness testing batteries, differentiated according to military specialty (general-special), should be characterized by safety, reliability and validity with the ultimate purpose to implement more effective exercise programs for the Armed and Security Forces personnel.

description: This book was prepared from the author’s lecture notes in courses on cellular neurophysiology that have been given to first- and second-year undergraduate and postgraduate students in physiology and neuroscience for the past 20 years. This book is intended on being primarily a textbook for students and researchers of biomedical, biology and related fields, as well as other fields related to the functioning of the nervous system. The neuron is the basic structural and functional component of the nervous system and neurons are organized through specific basic patterns to form functional networks. The nervous system continuously receives and processes a great deal of information, converting it into specific types of endogenous biological signals that are used to form unified codes. In this way, the nervous system converts its "input" into its "output". The biological signals underlying information processing and integration between input and output at the level of neural cell are changes in the electrical potential between the two sides of the cell membrane. In addition, communication among nerve cells is based on neurotransmitters, which are the information carriers in chemical synapses. In this book, several subjects are analyzed: a) the basic mechanisms of membrane potential changes, which include ion channels and the electrotonic properties of the neuron, b) the types of membrane potential changes and the mechanisms of excitability, c) the basic principles of synaptic transmission as well as the biochemistry and functions of a number of neurotransmitters, d) the basic principles of integration of synaptic potentials and synaptic plasticity, e) the basic patterns of organization of neuronal networks, f) the consequences of disturbances of cellular neurophysiological activity, and finally g) selected approaches in studying neuronal activity.

description:
Semantic Web is a combination of technologies and standards in order to give Web information strictly defined by semantic structure and meaning. Its aim is to enable Web users and automated agents to properly process, manage and utilize described information in intelligent and efficient ways.
Nevertheless, despite the various techniques that have been proposed at times, there is no specific method , to make it possible to retrieve information deductively by taking advantage of the Semantic Web technologies. For instance, to infer new and implicit information based on explicitly expressed facts.
To address this situation, the problem of Semantic Web Knowledge Discovery (SWKD) is first specified and introduced. SWKD takes advantage of the semantic underpinnings and semantic descriptions of information, organized in a logic theory (i.e., ontologies expressed in OWL). Via the use of appropriate automated reasoning mechanisms, SWKD makes it, then, possible to deduce new and unexpressed information that is only implied among explicit facts.
Therefore, the main aim of this book is to introduce the reader to the notion of the Semantic Web. Specific objectives are to examine Semantic Web knowledge discovery capabilities, identify the factors they depend on and illustrate how they can be utilized effectively in real-world scenarios.
To this end, major tools include the systematic review and evaluation of relevant scientific literature, the classification and evaluation, of the techniques proposed from a practical and theoretical point of view,  as well as the identification of the individual problems SWKD can be reduced to. Based on these, some novel methods are proposed and verified both theoretically and experimentally.

description:
Economic policy studies the role and intervention of the state in the economy. This is an issue that the science of the economy faced from its very first steps. However, economic policy was constituted as a distinct scientific field during the interwar period due to particular historical circumstances (the crisis of 1929, prolonged political-economic turmoil, collapse of Classical Liberalism, Soviet economic planning experience, Keynesian interventionism).
This book studies the Political Economy of Economic Policy. That is, first, it generally approaches the economy from the point of view of Political Economy (as a social process) and not from that of Economics (as an individual process). Secondly, it embraces the view that economic policy cannot be satisfactorily understood except through a political-economic perspective precisely because of its particular characteristics.
This book is written for readers with elementary rather than extensive knowledge of economic analysis.
The book is divided into three parts. The first part (Chapters 1 to 4) focuses on the reader gaining a good knowledge of the subject matter, the basic concepts, and the main categories of economic policy (fiscal, monetary, industrial, foreign, economic planning, social, etc.). In the second part (Chapters 5 to 11) the basic categories and tools of economic policy are presented in detail, but at the same time, a special focus is placed on the different views and the confrontations between different schools of economic thought regarding these categories and tools. The third part (Chapters 12 to 15) offers the ‘great view’. That is, it analyses the evolution of economic policy (character, aims, functions, pros and cons etc.) through the debates between the main currents of the science of the economy. It especially analyzes the ‘turbulent’ course and the ups and downs of economic policy in the 20th and 21st centuries.

description: The book “Contemporary curricula for the education of young children: pedagogical principles, content, learning areas” refers to curriculum revisions in recent years, where the transition from an emphasis on objectives to an emphasis on competences is characteristic. This transition reflects the emphasis placed on the active role of children in the pace of the program. A variety of curricula from different countries, in Europe, America, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, aiming at young children are presented. Pedagogical principles are analyzed and the learning areas of different curricula are presented. The structure of these curricula, the pedagogical principles, the content, the learning areas, constitute a field of analysis. Policy makers around the world are aware of the importance of Early Childhood Education due to research innovations and social changes in recent decades. This importance is driven, among others, by the recognition of the role of Early Childhood Education in the service of the rights and well-being of children, by the commitments made for equal opportunities for women in the labor market and by scientific data from fields as diverse as Neuroscience that demonstrate the benefits of quality early childhood experiences.

description:
The operation of every electrical and electronic circuit refers to the phenomena of transfer and distribution of electrical energy in terms of voltage (potential difference) or current intensity in its elements. This book presents basic semiconductor elements and devices and emphasizes the physics of their operation as elements used to control the flow and current intensity in them as well as their main applications.
Thus, after an introductory reference to semiconductor physics, the main characteristics and conductivity properties of material contacts with different conductivity characteristics are described, and an analytical presentation of the electrical behavior of contact diodes of different types of semiconductors (pn junction) as simple control elements of current flow in electrical circuits is made, together with their basic applications.
Then, the physics of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT) operation and its basic connections are presented, and the operation of corresponding simple linear and non-linear circuits is analyzed.
Finally, the physics of the operation of the various types of field effect transistors (JFETs and MOSFETs) are presented with their respective applications in simple electronic circuits.

description:
This book deals with the area of pedagogy, that aims to help address the issues arising from social differentiation. The area of pedagogy that attempts to provide a timely and systematically elaborated response to contemporary social problems, is known as multicultural, anti-racist and intercultural education. These three scientific traditions mean and signify different things to different people. But in general (and abstractly), they focus on social differentiation and want to help to address economic and social inequalities, to apply human and individual rights everywhere, and to recognise cultural and identity differences.
The objective of this book is intercultural education for social justice. More specifically, after presenting and critically analyzing the problematic around the different approaches and views related to multicultural/anti-racist and intercultural education and the problems they are associated with, the focus is then on the distinctive elements of this direction. Emphasis is placed on making it clear that intercultural education for social justice does not only concern schools attended by pupils with different national, ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious characteristics, but also all pupils in a society. As a comprehensive proposal that stands against discrimination, racism, sexism, classism and economic inequalities, oppression, unequal power relations and all kinds of authoritarianism, intercultural education for social justice concerns all pupils, as well as all people.

Healthy nutrition is essential throughout life. However, the role of healthy nutrition is crucial in the first years of life, as it affects the overall development of the child. Especially the first 3 years are considered the most critical, as the rate of physical growth is faster than any other period, with direct effects on the physical and psychomotor development of the child, while any disorders that appear during this period remain and are difficult to reverse later. Nutrition continues to be very important, even after the first 3 years of life, throughout childhood, as it is related to reducing the risk of developing problems and forming healthy eating habits, as lifestyle, diet, and behavior are consolidated over time and often remain stable throughout life. The role of the environment is crucial in forming these healthy habits.
The present book consists of 7 chapters. In the first chapter, the stages of neonatal, infant, and early childhood development are analyzed, along with the nutritional needs of children. The second chapter mentions food types and the development of skills related to children's nutrition. The third chapter presents the natural way of feeding, which is breastfeeding, while the fourth chapter presents formula feeding. The fifth chapter refers to nutrition during the second half of life with solid foods in the child's diet. In the sixth chapter, extensive reference is made to nutrition in childhood. Finally, in the seventh chapter, eating disorders and problems are presented.

description:
Since the beginning of the 20th century, the landscape of musical composition has shifted drastically. Sounds from everyday life, nature, industry, and transport, appeared among the collection of available compositional resources, alongside the traditional instruments. This coexistence of the traditional "musical" element with extra-musical factors modified the compositional strategies and methodologies, ultimately changing the core idea of the musical work. The composition of music became the organization of sounds, the art of music embraced the art of sounds, the note as the dominant building block gave way to the sound object, and many composers shifted their practice from the homogeneous families of instruments and notes to the heterogeneous world of ubiquitous sounds.
This book does not focus on the instrumentation of electronic music, which is largely covered by the book “Music Informatics and Computer Music” (Lotis & Diamantopoulos, 2015). It examines the writing and compositional techniques of electronic and acousmatic music, the art of sound editing and mixing, the core principles of the theory of spectromorphology, and the concepts of form, structure, time, and space in electronic music.

description:
Considering not only the interest of composers and librettists of the 20th century for the ancient Greek tragedies, but also the intertemporal presence of ancient Greek myths in the operatic creation, the present essay aims at presenting and studying librettos inspired by ancient Greek themes and myths. The first chapter examines the librettos in which the central figure is god Dionysus and the persons related to him (mainly the Bacchae). Librettos of operas concerning the House of Labdacids –as these myths are mentioned in the ancient dramas of the Theban cycle with Oedipus and Antigone as their main characters– are studied in the second chapter. The following chapter examines operas based on persons and events from the House of the Atreids. Emphasis is given to librettos based on relevant ancient tragedies (e.g. the trilogy Oresteia). The fourth chapter presents operas that refer to tragedies related to the outcome of the Trojan War (Euripides’ Andromache, Hecuba, Helen, and Trojan women) and to mythic events narrated by Homer in the Iliad. The fifth chapter discusses operas (and some sui generis musico-theatrical works) based on two plays by Aeschylus: Prometheus Bound and Persians. Operas whose plots are based on characters and events from the Homeric Odyssey are presented in the sixth chapter. In the seventh chapter we study librettos that have as source of inspiration the events and persons connected, on one hand, with the Argonautic Expedition and, on the other, with Euripides’ Medea.
The eighth chapter focuses on the use and revision of the myth of Orpheus in the opera librettos of the 20th century, while the last chapter of the book concerns those inspired by the Euripidean tragedies Hippolytus and Alcestis and mythic figures such as Theseus, Ariadne, Phaedra and Hercules.

description: The book analyzes in depth important aspects of modern distributed information systems. Initially, a general overview of Distributed Systems (DS) takes place, and the problems and challenges they face, their main characteristics and their relationship with Information Systems (IS) are analyzed. The basic design principles of DSs and the architecture which they follow are explained. Communication between remote processes, remote command execution, and network programming in DS are introduced. Processes are examined as well as their relationship to threads, which are presented in terms of their use, construction, communication, and synchronization. Then three important services of the DS are examined, the Name Service, the Directory Service and the Resource Locator Service. Synchronization services between communicating entities in DSs, asynchronous message communication and measurement of physical or logical time in them, as well as the states of a DS in a distributed computation are then considered. Mutual exclusion is another serious topic that the book deals with, as well as the election of a computing node as the leader. Security in DS is examined, which concerns networks, servers, terminals, system software, and application software. Topics related to distributed applications are presented extensively, with an emphasis on the requirements that they must meet, the tools used to develop and run them, including distributed databases and files, and user roles. Then we address ubiquitous computing through three key technologies: mobile computing, cloud computing, and blockchain. In addition, the Internet of Things and the Smart Cities are featured. Then, the management of DSs is examined, based on the concepts of management domains and policies, as well as its architecture. Finally, a lab project concerning a multithreaded application server is presented.

description: This book refers to human-centered design and its interdisciplinary dimension. It stems from the need to address designers as part of a wider framework that uses combined data from scientific areas, collaborates equally in interdisciplinary groups and approaches the design process critically, as part  aswell of an ideological position that promotes society and has the potential to ensure equal conditions of good quality of life. The connection of education and, after that, of the profession with real social conditions and problems, the participation in a holistic process, the recognition of diversity, important social issues, experimental processes, self-activity and the possibility for designers to choose themes of their interest are those, in our opinion, that can characterize contemporary architectural design; they even attribute to its characteristics with methods that strengthen social changes for the benefit of society as a whole, besides the aesthetics of form and its functional role, which constitute its primary content. According to the above, education in social architectural design presupposes education in the holistic approach to design, re-contemplation and the consideration of parameters and practices from different scientific areas, that can contribute to the understanding of complex issues which are the demand in modern design practices. Therefore, recalling the saying of László Moholy-Nagy (1947) that "design is not a profession, but a behavior", we sum up in the need to apply new academic, critical and interdisciplinary approaches so that students will be inspired to face contemporary problems with innovative design and all the requirements of a typical academic framework. Creative design processes and skills that contribute dynamically to social challenges, social participation and collaboration, can be recognized as fundamental to making sense of future designers' participation in society.

description: Tourism refers to the science, art and business of attracting and transporting visitors, providing them with services and catering to their needs and wants. However, the intense touristic development of an area can lead to alteration and significant degradation of the natural environment. In recent years, there has been a significant shift towards alternative forms of tourism focused on the environment and culture. Cultural routes focus on highlighting the cultural heritage of an area, while at the same time, they can ensure the protection and preservation of the natural environment while boosting local tourism. Cultural routes can be differentiated based on their thematic content. In vineyards and wine production areas wine routes are established.  Wine routes are marked routes, along which there are cultural and environmental attractions, vineyards and wineries open to the public. Both the cultural and the wine routes belong to the alternative forms of tourism and specifically to the agrotourism category. Agrotourism contributes decisively to the economic, social and environmental development of a region, in absolute balance with the principles of "sustainable development".

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

Hate speech and Religion

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Theory of the Consumer Behaviour

de: Wirtschaftswissenschaften

uk: Бізнес та економіка

en: Business and Economics

uk: Право, економіка та суспільні науки

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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