description: This book focuses on utilizing Mathematica and the Wolfram language for economic applications. It is not meant to be a manual for using Mathematica but aims to introduce readers to the necessary concepts needed to begin working with economic applications, even if they do not have prior programming experience. The approach taken relies on the historically older and more conservative commands and usages of the language. It acknowledges that there have been advancements in computing and the continuous expansion of command libraries. For instance, Mathematica can now interpret natural language and has access to numerous databases across scientific fields, as well as incorporating cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies. Though the use of these advanced features is encouraged, the text emphasizes the importance of understanding basic programming principles and the structure of the language before exploring more advanced features. The book's content is divided into three parts. In the first part, Mathematica is treated as a powerful calculator capable of performing simple arithmetic operations to complex higher mathematics problems using both symbolic and numerical methods. It also enables users to create various types of graphical representations. The second part introduces the Wolfram language as a general programming language that supports various programming paradigms (e.g., procedural programming, functional programming, etc.). This presentation assumes no prior programming knowledge but may assume knowledge of economic theory and mathematics in some cases. By combining programming capabilities with the rich set of built-in commands, readers can effectively tackle a range of mathematical and economic problems. The third part utilizes the concepts presented in the first two parts in a series of applications in economics, computational mathematics and financial mathematics. Presenting these applications often assumes knowledge of economic theory and mathematics.

description: The book focuses on the digital transformation of our cultural reality, which is most visible to all of us. The digital world is changing established learning and educational designs like almost no other social intersection. The admission of this reality is the central point of reference of this book, which is divided into two parts. The first part, which includes five chapters, develops the theoretical framework that documents digital learning at multiple levels. The second part, containing seven chapters, presents contemporary designs for education: educational video, mobile learning, augmented reality, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), digital storytelling, Gamified Digital Learning, assessment, and digital learning. Common elements are interactivity, the immediacy of learning environments, and the "coupling" of educational media, achieved through the convergence of technologies and the digitization of content. The book concludes with a thirteenth chapter that focuses on key pedagogical issues for designing digital learning. It acts as a framework for reflection by reminding principles such as the priority of educational design over technology, learning as a stable anthropological phenomenon that digital learning should follow, etc. The book has been created for university education at the undergraduate, postgraduate, and postdoctoral levels. It is addressed to students who will serve in primary education, students of departments related to secondary education subjects, and students of humanitarian, social, and cultural departments. Lastly, the book is particularly useful to educators who work or will work in preschool, primary, secondary, post-secondary, and university education.

description: The book introduces the reader to the world of blockchain technology, without the need for pre-requisite knowledge. The basic characteristics of the technology are presented and its most well-known networks (Bitcoin, Ethereum) are analyzed. Next, the use of asymmetric cryptography in blockchain technology is discussed, as well as the way transactions are performed in such a network. Particular emphasis is placed on the use of digital signatures in blockchain transactions. In the following chapter, the role of consensus in a distributed network is explained and details about how it is achieved in the two referenced networks mentioned earlier are provided. Also, the role of smart contracts is presented and examples of their writing and deployment in a blockchain network, suitable for testing, are given. The role and the use of tokens in a blockchain network are then analyzed. Emphasis is placed on understanding the different types of tokens that can be created, focusing on the differences and the description of the use cases best suited for each type. The reference network for the discussion about tokens is Ethereum and the basis is standards created in it for their implementation. The next step focuses on presenting how Decentralized Applications (DApps) work and apply, and mainly on the differences between Web 2.0 and Web 3.0. Then, there is a presentation of popular use cases of blockchain technology, accompanied by the necessary arguments so as to analyze the gains made by implementing a solution based on this technology in each discussed case. For a more complete presentation of the area, towards the end of the book follows the presentation of Distributed Ledger Technologies, of which the blockchain is a subset. Finally, there is a practice chapter, with the presentation of an online open tool, which allows the reader to practice much of the subjects discussed in the previous chapters.

description:
The book "Seismic Methods: Theory and Techniques in subsurface exploration" introduces the seismic methods developed mainly for the hydrocarbons exploration. Emphasis is given on the presentation of the basic principles of the seismic methods as well as on their applications for mineral resources exploration and geotechnical investigations. The elastic wave propagation theory is presented for plane waves in homogeneous medium. A chapter is devoted to the seismic reflection method and the presentation of relevant case histories.
The seismic reflection method is considered as the most developed geophysical technique providing increased resolution images of the subsurface. The geophysical survey includes three main steps, namely data acquisition, processing and interpretation. This book depicts land and marine seismic reflection data acquisition techniques including equipment description. Seismic data processing involves the application of deconvolution techniques, static and dynamic corrections, velocity analysis, stacking and migration techniques. Apart from velocity analysis based on the seismic reflection data, down hole geophysical well logging techniques for seismic velocity estimation are also presented. A short chapter is devoted to surface wave analysis and its application in geotechnical investigations.
The level of the physics and mathematics is kept within the text for undergraduate engineering and geosciences students. Boxes for further reading supplement the text. Elements of signal theory, necessary for the presentation of certain seismic data processing techniques, are given in a separate chapter.

description: This project attempts to approach the topic of analysis and synthesis from Greek Antiquity, the Arabic tradition, and the European Renaissance up to the 18th century. It consists of three major sections. The first section approaches the method of analysis and synthesis in the ancient Greek mathematical tradition, from Plato to Pappus, which, first of all, includes the considerations of Plato and Aristotle, by using original passages from their treatises. Then a series of mathematical propositions from treatises by Euclid, Archimedes, Apollonius, Heron, and Pappus is presented, case by case. Reference is made to theoretical issues of the method as they were posed and applied and, of course, as they influenced all posteriors in the Arab and Western European tradition. In the second section, we move on to analyzing and synthesizing the Arab mathematical tradition, from Ibrahim ibn-Sinan to Ibn al-Haytham, with the intermediate addition of Abu Sahl al-Kuhi. Their considerations, as well as their mathematical propositions, are presented. Finally, in the third section, we conclude with an analysis and synthesis of the European mathematical and, more broadly, scientific tradition from the Renaissance to the 18th century, from Viète to Leibniz. The third section includes, in addition to Viète and Leibniz, Galileo, Descartes, and Newton. The presentations include their theoretical approaches and case-by-case issues concerning mathematics, physics, and general methodology.

description:
This book is the first interdisciplinary writing attempt that not only aims to provide a theoretical framework for the major issue of crisis and disaster management but also to present specific examples and case studies from the contemporary international reality.
It covers, in an interdisciplinary manner, a wide range of relevant topics in light of the long experience and in-depth knowledge of renowned authors from a variety of disciplines. The recent common experience of the pandemic has amply demonstrated that the global community is faced with unknown or difficult-to-manage situations that directly attack the health of the general population: the health threat of COVID-19 was the most representative case of a crisis at multiple levels, the management of which required emergency and coordinated measures to deal with incidents, combining actions at a medical and a political level. Of course, such unforeseen catastrophic events include not only pandemics but also man-made disasters (such as terrorism, industrial accidents, wars, etc.) and natural phenomena (e.g., earthquakes, fires, volcanic eruptions, etc.).

description: Science communication aims at providing the public with simplified information about techno-scientific matters and at inspiring citizens to get actively involved in the production of the pertinent knowledge and in critically examining its effects on their daily lives. Bioethics is part of the so-called “applied ethics”, and it proposes the development of general public policies as well as the implementation of practical measures for dealing with various problems concerning life sciences, technology, and the environment, by taking into account certain moral and/or sociocultural values. In both these fields of study and research, framing, that is to say, the promotion of particular descriptions of the aforementioned dilemmas, their causal interpretations, and recommended ways of handling them, plays a decisive role in how citizens and politicians understand and approach said dilemmas. Thus, the manner in which the mass media, and especially ─in our day and age─ the digital ones, are used by science communicators (be they specialized journalists, lay individuals, or members of the scientific community) and by bioethical thinkers in the relevant public debates has significant ramifications as regards a broad spectrum of issues; to name but a few, from public health  to the potential dangers of robotics, and from climate change  to the required differentiation between useful popularization and misleading populism.

description:
Observing as a quasi-pitive scientist in his laboratory the reactions or the behaviors of our compatriots, I was led and probably came to two main conclusions, which I  quote immediately: a) the lack of citizenship (citizenship) and b) in the dominance of the perception of the peculiar in our mentality and in our everyday life. My neologism "private" (or priblic), proposed at a Panhellenic Conference in 2011 (Theologοu-Veneti, 2011: 17-29) which I explain below, is produced from the composition of the words private and public. Citizenship and respect for public space are fundamental and constitutive components of a modern society and a modern state. In Greece, for various reasons, the institutionalization of such a legislative framework was not planned, so that citizenship would thrive in it and respect for the public or shared (κοινόχρηστος) space would be cultivated.
The catalyst of this modern Greek inadequacy is the almost ongoing territorial re-demarcation (1827-1947) of the country with inevitable demographic additions, mentalities and political cultures from former Ottoman “territories” with communal organization of political and social life. The work takes into account the specific historical reasons, with the varied cultural patterns and unclear value codes that have contributed to this extreme development of properties, which are on the one hand apolitical and anti-social and on the other hand deeply conservative, since they preserve the selfishness and clientelist characteristics of our political system. The objective of the monograph is to raise issues, without explicitly formulating them as questions or working hypotheses, which will be investigated systematically and analytically . The status of a citizen and its inseparable relationship with the public space indicatively certainly involves the area of rights, human, political etc., which in themselves constitute a more special and very important subject of this relationship; also, legal issues are involved (legal and not only urban planning), architecture, political science, ideological, sociological, cultural, value etc.

description: The book is a manual that analyzes the modern principles of Urban Planning for developing resilient cities. Today, the new conditions of climate change, social changes caused by urbanization, ever-changing economic conditions, and new technologies have greatly changed how cities are developed and how they function. Initially, the concept of resilience, and then the analysis of urban resilience and its characteristics are presented. Based on the spatial and thematic fields involved in resilient city planning, the book is structured into corresponding chapters to explore the individual urban resilience sectors. Key issues of urban planning related to the physical urban space sectors that determine the development of resilient cities are analyzed. In chapters, 2-7 contemporary urban issues such as urban density, development of urban functions, sustainable urban mobility, public space, the adaptation of space to natural disasters, and social resilience are analyzed. The next section examines the role and applications of new technologies that can contribute to more resilient cities. The book’s next section examines applied international and Greek policies for resilient cities. This section aims to analyze resilience strategies and spatial plans that have been implemented, to analyze the prioritization, effectiveness, and difficulties in the development of resilient cities. Finally, the chapter examines the spatial planning framework and the difficulties in the development of resilient cities in Greece.

description: The present book is addressed to undergraduate and/or postgraduate and doctoral students who attend courses or work on academic essays regarding Modern Greek music history, as well as music teachers or readers who are interested in expanding their knowledge around this specific field. This is an extensive monograph which concerns the formation of distinct and evolutionary aspects of modernism in Greek musical life and creation during the 20th century as well as their redefinition in the first decades of the 21st. The subject’s treatment involves the historiographical, music-analytical, stylistic, and aesthetic-ideological highlighting of the artistic expression and creative output by composers and institutions that defined this era, through various trends, schools, or repertoires. The interdisciplinary character of this volume is accompanied by extensive bibliographic documentation, which takes into account both the fruitful scientific output of the last thirty years, since the institution of Greek academic musicology, and its absolutely recent findings. As a result, the present book also serves as an up-to-date reference guide to modern Greek music historiography.

description: The purpose of this book is to briefly present the ‘Method of Isogeometric Analysis’ which is an extension of the well-known Finite Element Method mainly with the extensive use of NURBS. Since 2008, i.e. three years after the first appearance of the method, many European research projects have been implemented and some of them have resulted in open software which today constitutes material for the practice of students at the Master’s level, internationally. Also, in recent years the concept of isogeometric analysis is slowly being adopted by specialized and/or general-purpose commercial software. Due to the nature of the subject of Isogeometric Analysis, both sufficient knowledge of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and knowledge of the Finite Element Method (FEM) are required. Thus, the first five chapters of the book are dedicated to basic concepts of CAD theory and especially to the theory of describing curves, surface areas (patches) and the Cartesian product (tensor product) for the description of surfaces and structured volumes (blocks). Without detailed mathematical proofs, special effort has been made to provide in each chapter the absolutely necessary knowledge for the practical application of Isogeometric Analysis, and not CAD per se. In Chapter 6, computer codes are listed for programming the procedures mentioned in Chapters 1 to 5. In Chapters 7-12, an extensive application of the Isogeometric Method is made in the solution of partial differential equations of all kinds, while in Chapter 13, a historical overview, which covers the beginnings up to the modern trends of the Isogeometric Method, is presented. Starting from one-dimensional problems, the primary concepts of the robustness matrix and the mass matrix are introduced. Second-order differential equations are covered, which concern both field problems (Heat transmission, sound propagation-Acoustics) and Static and Elastodynamic Analysis of Structures. Also, fourth-order equations are covered, which relate to the bending of beams and plates as well as thin shells.

description: The book aims to acquaint students who do not have a legal background with legal issues in the field of culture, with an emphasis on the protection and management of cultural heritage in its various aspects (intangible - tangible, ancient - modern, etc.), in examining the institutions that oversee and enhance cultural production and culture, and in issues of intellectual property in artworks. Enriched with practical examples and cases that national, European and American courts have dealt with, the book focuses on i)  the conceptual demarcation and legal protection of cultural heritage, ii) the conceptual demarcation and legal protection of contemporary artistic creation, iii) the presentation of cultural institutions and bodies (Ministry, state and private museums, independent bodies, cultural centres, artists run spaces etc.). In more detail, this book explores the art world from a legal perspective. We deal with the protection of artworks, both as cultural goods and as intellectual creations. We investigate the considered relationship between the law of art and the protection of cultural goods on the one hand and the law of intellectual property on the other and we cite typical examples of interaction among them. We present a wealth of jurisprudential examples from the art world which concerned the legal world and highlight how topical and interesting these issues are and how useful the law's contribution to culture is. We study and deeply understand the cultural bodies and organizations that oversee and enhance cultural production. This book sums up the lectures of the "Legal and Institutional Framework of Culture" course of the Department of Communication, Media and Culture of Panteion University.

description: Based on primary Byzantine sources and on an extremely large number of unpublished material with scenes of the Last Judgment, from Byzantine and post-Byzantine tradition, but also on oral testimonies of Greek popular culture, we examine the form of biopower constructed by the image of hell, where the fallen from paradise. It is no coincidence that in the scenes of torture the bodies in hell are sometimes represented by their secretions and therefore they become infectious bodies. In this context  the nature of hell is referred as heterotοpic that delimits the environment of otherness which is characterized from uncertainty and runs  the risk of deflowerment Hell is the place of the demonic, which represents the discharge of the thymic, the animality of reproduction and unrhythmic sexuality, the monstrous and inhuman nature, evident in the fantasy representation of the black-faced and winged monster with hybrid features, familiar in popular culture. The latter expresses the entanglement of sexuality and genetic abnormality which is anything but distanced from animal primogeniture. On the other hand, the salvation of heaven is indicated, in contrast to the destruction of hell, by the construction of a familiar and an alien body, an able-bodied body and a body that has lost its integrity and is miasmatic, to which are emphatically subscribed the co-demonstrations of rape practices (loss of purity). Consequently, the environment of hell, in contrast to that of heaven, makes clear the distinction between embodied and disembodied states, while heaven, for the sake of celibacy, is placed outside the narrow limits of demographic (reproductive) anguish.

description: This book presents an introduction to Queueing Theory, which is a multidisciplinary area in the intersection of Applied Mathematics (mainly of Operations Research and Applied Probability), of Engineering (Industrial, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering), of Computer Science, as well as of Management Science. To this end, the book introduces the reader to the study of service systems, using mathematical models that represent input-output systems of customers who receive some form of service from servers that operate under a certain degree of uncertainty. The book starts with a brief overview of the various stages in the study of queueing systems which comprise the mathematical modeling, the performance evaluation, the optimal design, the optimal control, the quantification of the strategic behavior and the comparison with other queueing systems. Then, the book focuses in greater detail on the mathematical modeling and the performance evaluation of service systems. Towards this direction, we first present some basic mathematical tools of Queueing Theory that comprise concepts, theorems and computational results from Probability Theory and in particular from the theory of Markov chains. Later, we present a systematic study of the most fundamental queueing systems that appear in the literature, starting from systems that are represented by birth-death processes (of M/M/1 type) and moving towards more complex systems that require general Markov chains. Moreover, we study the basic queueing networks of Jackson type that fall within the Markovian framework and the classical non-Markovian models that appear in the literature (of type M/G/1 and G/M/1). Finally, the introduction to the field is completed with an overview of the more advanced topics of optimal design, of optimal control and of the strategic customer behavior in queueing systems.

description:
In the present textbook the traumatology of the upper extremity (shoulder, arm, elbow, forearm, wrist, hand), including injuries to bones, joints, muscles, tendons, ligaments, vessels, nerves and skin defects, in adults and children, is presented.
Upper extremity trauma is particularly common, varying in severity -from simple injuries and skin lacerations to severely injured extremities (mangled) and amputations- and represents a frequent cause of disability.
The textbook presents in detail the anatomy of the upper limb, the basic mechanisms of trauma (soft tissue and skeletal) and the biomechanics of fractures and lists: the diagnostic approach to upper extremity injuries, the clinical problems according to the injured tissue and age, the treatment options [first aid, placement of splints and conservative treatment, methods of bone fixation (osteosynthesis) and soft tissue reconstruction (tendon suturing, nerve suturing, ligament repair)] as well as minimally invasive techniques, the complications, the rehabilitation.
Early and correct diagnosis and treatment of upper extremity trauma ensure the best functional outcome and the avoidance of complications, while the knowledge of the latest surgical reconstructive techniques contributes to the best possible outcome.
Emphasis has been placed on the presentation of clinical series, as well as on reduction/reconstruction techniques (non-surgical and surgical), with multiple photographs and illustrations, aiming at the training of  students and residents and at the continuous education of doctors of different specialties (orthopaedic surgery, traumatology, emergency medicine, neurosurgery, physical and rehabilitation medicine, sports medicine), health professionals (nurses, physical therapists) and coaches, in the context of lifelong learning.

description:
The main objective of this book is to shed light on the correspondence between the different types of unemployment, economic theories on their causes, and the policies these theories propose to combat the causes and eliminate unemployment. It fills an important gap in Greek literature since it is the first textbook on employment policy, including its design and evaluation.
The book seeks to familiarize students with the different conceptual approaches and definitions of unemployment, the different ways of its measurement, the diversity of the phenomenon and the unequal distribution of its risk among different social groups, its theoretical interpretations, and policies to deal with it.
In addition, it aims to introduce students to the design principles and implementation challenges of employment policies and the types, techniques, and methods of employment policy evaluation.
Finally, it aims to achieve the fullest possible understanding of the above issues through the connection of theory with applied policy at international, European, and national levels.

description: The book is an introduction and overview, at the undergraduate level, to quantum optics. We analyze the quantum nature of light. We focus on the interaction processes between a photon and a two-level system. We explain what is continuous and what is discrete energy spectrum, as well as intermediate cases such as low-dimensional structures. The interaction of electromagnetic field with matter is tackled, in the first stage, semi-classically, where the electromagnetic field is treated classically and the matter quantum-mechanically. We explain in detail to which extent optical transitions between energy levels are allowed. Then, the interaction between electromagnetic field and matter is treated quantum-mechanically, i.e., the electromagnetic field consists of photons. We explain ladder operators and the differences between bosons and fermions, commutation and anticommutation. Then, we introduce the concept of density matrix and density operator. We explain the operating principles of LASERs. Finally, we develop several related topics. The book contains exercises, auxiliary mathematics and illustrative matlab programs.

description: The monograph attempts the theoretical connection of anthropological theory with digital education and ODL. Its purpose is the critical assessment of the impact that the transition to the digital condition has had on the conceptualizations of knowledge, community and the individual and the highlighting of the continuities and responses that are manifested between apparently “unprecedented” cognitive conditions and older forms of transmission of human knowledge, often conceived as “traditional”. The monograph seeks to expand the theoretical grounding of teaching and learning practices beyond the field of education. The book aspires to expose open and distance education to readings that support the interdisciplinary, fluid and multi-prismatic nature of contemporary digitally-mediated knowledge.

description:
Nowadays, optical communications and networks support the spread of the Internet in every aspect. It is no exaggeration to say that data travels in the form of light across the planet. Photons reach our homes using the FTTH technologies, across oceans hundreds of fiber links interconnect continents with data rates of Tbps, while satellites communicate with each other with beams of light. Even inside the cloud infrastructures of big technological giants such as Google, Amazon, Microsoft etc., the data exchange between servers is performed over fiber links, while soon photons will interconnect the processors inside a motherboard.
This book captures state-of-the-art developments in the science and technology about optical communications and networks. First, it presents their historical development, focusing on state-of-the-art services and trends. It presents the structure of the optical fiber, studying the propagation in it. It also presents the technologies of optical devices such as couplers, amplifiers, transmitters etc. and studies modulation and detection schemes. Emphasis is placed on optical multiplexing techniques and especially on WDM and its functional components such as multiplexers etc.
Since all-optical networking is a contemporary challenge, this book studies optical switching, routing, wavelength assignment and conversion, and gives the operating principles of optical devices such as add/drop multiplexers, OXCs etc.
Moreover, this book presents architectures and protocols at all optical networking scales. In particular, it presents architectures of local area optical broadcast-and-select networks, studying various synchronous and asynchronous transmission protocols, multiple access protocols and their performance. Additionally, it presents the key technologies of optical access networks, such as FTTx, new generation PONs and free space links. Finally, it gives the design principles of optical MANs, such as SONET/SDH, as well as the ΟΤΝ architecture.
This book concludes by describing the principles of OBS networks studying the burst assembly mechanism and various signaling protocols.

description: This textbook examines key dimensions of politics in Greece, with an emphasis on the period of the Third Hellenic Republic. The study of these dimensions is primarily carried out using archival material as well as critically examining existing studies. A key perspective in the analysis of Greek politics is how political and social actors perceive and interpret the social and political dynamics and how they act. In this context, it examines the values that shape identities and frame the actions of citizens and social groups (e.g., political culture), as well as the specific manifestations of these actions (e.g., forms of political participation). Emphasis is placed on party and electoral competition in the period 1974-2019, on the political and ideological characteristics of the main political forces and their change or stability over time, on the economic programs that these political forces promote (economic development plans), as well as on political representation, by examining the characteristics of the members of the Greek and European Parliament and their changing profiles over time. Finally, the role of the modern Greek state, from its formation until today, is examined, as well as the scientific debate regarding the Greek state and the domestic "civil society", the state’s intervention and its role in the formation of Greek society and economy, together with the functions and characteristics of the Greek state in a globalized world.

description:
In an era of rapid digital convergence, a wide web of digital environments, platforms, complex technologies, and services – such as blogs, social networking applications, Wikis, learning management systems, online games, 3D role-playing games, and simulations – overwhelms everyday life. us. Several of these new digital technologies affect both young user-teachers' learning maturation and older teacher-users' training. Today, digital technologies are part of the educational process and dynamically expand the possibilities of both the teacher in providing knowledge and the learner in acquiring knowledge.
This volume seeks to introduce students/readers to the radical upheavals that digital technologies suggest for literacy, the cultural practices of reading and writing, and, in particular, for learning a foreign language/culture. In the context of contemporary digital humanities studies, which are currently at the center of the debate to strengthen their presence in the academic and social space, the handbook on digital technologies in foreign language/culture teaching has a theoretical as well as practical orientation.
At the level of theory, it clarifies and analyzes basic concepts of modern digital technologies, explains their theoretical origins, and presents their advantages and disadvantages in language teaching issues.
On a practical level, it presents a wide range of digital tools/applications available to the teacher of a foreign, second, or native language, to develop modern language activities of comprehension and production of spoken and written language in his students. All suggested digital tools and their applications, grouped appropriately, are accompanied by specific usage scenarios describing their utilization in detail.

Cosmology is one of the most current fields of research and discoveries in modern Physics. Since the end of the twentieth century, many books have been published in this field and in all related branches of Physics, such as Relativity, Gravitation and Astrophysics, some of which are landmarks in the scientific field. Also, many important articles have been published that are points of reference in their field, because they are treated with special attention by the scientific community. At the same time, with the development of the Internet, free, abundant educational material is available. These learning resources are evaluated for validity to be useful to any interested student, researcher, or reader.
The bibliographic guide aims to classify and organize this material into areas relevant to the science of Cosmology. It consists of 11 chapters and an introductory chapter. In order the reader will find Special and General Relativity, gravity, primordial and inflationary universe. Next are General Cosmology, black holes, dark matter, and energy, and modified and alternative gravity. The guide concludes with Astrophysical and Observational Cosmology. The chapters have been put into a sequence, like the teaching flow of a corresponding 13-week academic course. The innovation of the guide lies in the extensive references to educational and teaching material available on the Internet and coming from reputable and established scientists in the field from all over the world.
With this guide, we hope to assist in the research and learning of anyone interested. In addition, we expect that stimuli for further research and search will be given, as at the end of each chapter we mention books and sources that we consider important, but due to limited space, are not analyzed thoroughly. We hope that the guide will be useful to every reader.

description: In this book, the structure, composition and dynamics of the atmosphere, as well as the climate system, are studied. The effect of solar radiation on Earth's surface and on the atmosphere is also presented, while the dynamics of temperature, humidity and pressure are examined. The Earth's energy balance is, then, analyzed using simple models. Basic principles of thermodynamics are introduced for the study of atmospheric balance and the change of temperature and pressure with height, as well as the equations of motion for the transport of gaseous masses in the atmosphere. Ocean circulation and the factors that affect it are also studied. Greenhouse gas emissions from man-made sources as well as natural ones,are calculated. Gaseous pollutants and suspended particles, mathematical models for the dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere and climate models are also studied. Furthermore, the interaction of the oceans with carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is examined. The interaction of solar radiation with atmospheric pollutants and clouds is one of the most important components in understanding climate. Therefore , the laws of radiation and the interaction of gaseous and particulate pollutants with solar radiation are examined. Finally, the textbook analyzes the criteria for the implementation of restrictive measures for greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere and it examines scenarios of changes in greenhouse gas emissions in the climate.

description: The book examines current issues of translation in various social contexts. ranslation is considered  as a socio-cultural practice that is deeply rooted in the context set by the field to which it belongs. It is not an activity that occurs in isolation. It is carried out by individuals for various reasons and to fulfill specific purposes. The study of translation in social practices therefore takes into account the thesis that "translation is an activity" that occupies a particular cultural system. It also takes into account the role of the translator in transmitting identities, in shaping the image of communities and in disseminating political and religious beliefs and doctrines. The book gives the user a clear and unambiguous picture of the content and the demands placed on him/her. Thus, the structure of each chapter is consistent and includes:  a summary; the background knowledge needed for the chapter; the learning objectives; the main text, which presents the theories, practical examples and related training activities; the conclusion; an indicative commentary on the activities in the main text; the bibliographical sources; the external web-based learning material and videos for further study; a translation crossword puzzle with the main terms of the chapter; consolidation activities; and a series of reflection topics, in practical activities of text analysis, application of theory in practice and triggering a discussion cycle. The ten chapters deal with the following topics: Translation and sociology; cultural approaches to translation; the translator as mediator; translation in postcolonial context; translation of sacred texts; translation in professional settings; argumentation and persuasive techniques in translation; intertextual and intertemporal relations in translation; researching the social space of translation; descriptive translation studies.

description: The book is designed to offer a multi-faceted and nuanced examination of gender and sexual relations in Europe by adopting a longue durée perspective from the 12th to the 18th century, a period which conventionally includes the Middle Ages, the Renaissance and early modernity. In this view, the book examines long-term continuities but also transformations engendered by institutional, social and economic transitions and processes, such as feudalism, the Renaissance, the Reformation, urbanization, merchant capitalism, changes in medical theories and the emergence of civil society. How were gender, sex and the body conceptualized, imagined, normalized, and performed in the patriarchal societies of premodern Europe? Gender, sex and the body are approached as practices, discursive constructions, performances and representations and at the same time they serve as sites where the values, taxonomies, social processes, and symbolic idioms of premodern European societies can be discerned. Weaving together printed sources, visual material and literary texts, the book discusses examples and case studies from various social and geographical milieus of the premodern past. It surveys debates and interpretive trajectories from gender and women’s history, the history of sexuality and the body, queer theory, history and literary criticism. Interdisciplinary in scope, the book draws on cultural and social history, gender and queer history, and on insights from the fields of Medieval and Renaissance Studies.

description:
Τhe city is the most complex and intricate human artifact and at the same time our everyday environment. The physical form and the management of the urban environment greatly determines people’s everyday life and health, social relations, and economic growth in cities, as well as the future of humanity on our planet. Therefore, urban design interests all of us, both experts and laymen . The main theme of this book is how urban design can improve people’s lives , through the adoption of the humanistic approach in the entire spectrum of design scales, from strategic planning to the microscale design of physical space. It is articulated in ten chapters, in which the reader is acquainted with the history, the theory and the practical applications of the human-centered approach in urban design. Each chapter corresponds to an autonomous lecture and includes various learning activities (discussion points, in-class exercises, videos etc.), following Diane Laurillard’s theory of six learning types.
The book also focuses on public spaces, as a field of study of urbanism and as a field of practice of urban design, and at the same time it emphasizes on their importance for sustainable urban development. It presents the history of the city through the lens of the human scale, the genealogy of the social approach in urbanism, with an emphasis on observational studies of public space, and it elaborates on the philosophy of human-centered design, mainly through Jan Gehl’s concept of “life between buildings”. Using case studies and best practice examples, it proposes basic design principles for human-centered public spaces and urban streets. It puts emphasis on ecological thinking, which is an indispensable part of the humanistic design approach, especially today, as we face the consequences of catastrophic human intervention on ecosystems and of anthropogenic climate change.

description:
This book aims to present the cultural evolution of man from the moment of his appearance on earth approximately 2.6 million years ago until the end of the Neolithic era. It covers the entire period of the Stone Age, an era that is a key stage in
the evolution of human civilization. The aim of this book is to present the main characteristics of each period of the Stone Age (Paleolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic) related to the  habitation, economy, society, burial customs and beliefs, the techniques developed (stone carving, ceramics, basket weaving) , jewelry, etc.) and art. Since the Stone Age covers the geological periods of the Pleistocene and the Holocene, where major climatic and geomorphological changes occurred on a global scale, the knowledge of all these changes in the palaeoenvironment is very fundamental to understanding this long period. Thus, this book will briefly present the most important paleoclimatic events which drastically influenced both the formation of paleogeography and the landscape as well as the cultural evolution of man.
Also, the most important archaeological sites of Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean will be presented. Although the archaeological sites are numerous, the most important and necessary for the knowledge of an undergraduate student or for any reader who wants a comprehensive knowledge of the Stone Age in our wider region have been selected.

description: Geostatistics, according to the definition of its founder, G. Matheron, is an application of the theory of Random Functions (RF) in Geosciences. Its goal is the development of efficient interpolation algorithms for the creation of 3D maps of the variable of interest. The aim of the book is to introduce the readers to the basic concepts of Geostatistics and its application to Mineral Exploration problems, the most important being the calculation of reserves of a mineral deposit. In particular, the basic statistical concepts and the corresponding analysis of exploration data for the estimation of ore reserves are included, with reference to the sampling methods and the relative errors introduced by them. The concepts of RF and Regionalized Variables, as well as stochastic estimation in general, are presented in a simplified way. This is followed by an introduction to the tools of spatial analysis, variograms and covariance functions. Kriging algorithms are presented to estimate the features at unsampled locations, based on the available borehole samples. Reference is made to estimation errors and cross-validation methods. This is followed by an introduction to the concept and methods of stochastic simulation as an alternative to estimation, in cases where it is desirable to examine different scenarios for the economic evaluation of the investment. The previous methods are then applied to the spatial mapping of the geotechnical parameters of the deposit and the surrounding formations. The prevailing reserves classification systems and the way to calculate the parameters required to characterize the orebody according to them are described. Finally, enough case studies are presented for all the topics of the book. In most of them, the original data is also available, so that there is the possibility of practicing using programs in R language, which are also available on the Internet.

description: Health and welfare professionals encounter individuals and families with substance use or abuse problems very often in their clinical practice. The serious dimensions that the phenomenon of addiction has taken worldwide and also in our country, require from health and welfare professionals to set up an effective management strategy for the problems of substance use and abuse they face every day. The academic textbook "Caring for the family with addiction problems" is an evidence-based academic textbook that aims to inform and raise awareness among health and welfare students/professionals on issues of family outreach and interventions. It, also, aims at the continuing education of health and welfare professionals on issues related to addiction and family burden including family violence as well as the training and professional self-development of professionals who work or wish to work in the field of addictions. The ultimate goal of this effort is to create a comprehensive handbook on issues related to clinical work, education and research in the family approach. The present textbook consists of a total of eleven chapters. These chapters attempt to help readers understand the framework of approaching affected family members and clarify key concepts and terms used in the field of empirically based family interventions. In addition, they aim to contribute to the sense of competence of undergraduate and postgraduate students regarding their knowledge of evidence-based family interventions, as well as their application in the context of addiction treatment, prevention centers, and primary and secondary health care.

description:
In this book, some of the fundamental principles of Mathematics are covered and its main aim is to contribute to the effort to “bridge the gap” for a smooth integration of newly admitted students in the Mathematics Schools of Greek Universities. The major problem that first-year Mathematics students in Greek Universities encounter is that they are not properly taught, and thus, they lack the “discipline” needed to think and express themselves mathematically (both orally and in writing).
The concepts in study are necessary, not only because first-year students will be able to keep up with the requirements of their classes, but also because their thorough understanding will render them capable of defending and supporting mathematical proofs. Anyone willing to commit to the study of Mathematics needs to adopt a mathematical way of thinking to corroborate mathematical statements and discover (mathematical) facts. In that way, he/she learns to research, judge, comprehend mathematical proofs and formulate his/her proofs.
To study this book, prerequisite knowledge is minimal. By refreshing this knowledge, we can slowly move forward by identifying gaps and even confusion and errors in our previous understanding. We can also observe that the mathematical way of thinking may be different from the way of thinking in other scientific disciplines. Studying Mathematics is a dynamic process that requires energy, and superficial “scanning” is not sufficient.
Furthermore, limiting oneself to a single textbook, however good it is, may “trap” the reader. Therefore, as the Mathematics study presents regressions, we need to have flexibility. We must also make clear the line between comprehension, answering a question, and outlining a problem-solving strategy, both orally and in writing.
As previously said, this book addresses the needs of students in Greek Mathematics Schools. Nonetheless, it can still be a useful aid for anyone who intends to start studying Mathematics. Thus, it has a flexible structure to support self-learning.

description:
The textbook "Sericulture" is an academic textbook for students in higher education. Through the 11 chapters of the textbook, and after an introduction to the historical past and the current status of sericulture in Greece and worldwide (Chapter 1), the reader learns about mulberry cultivation (Chapter 2) and the use of mulberry leaves for silkworm rearing. In the following chapters, the reader learns about silkworm anatomy (Chapter 3) and its developmental physiology and nutrition (Chapter 4), silkworm eggs’ management (Chapter 5), the rearing of silkworm larvae (Chapter 6), cocoon production (Chapter 7) and the diseases affecting this insect (Chapter 8). The silkworm is reared to harvest its cocoon, therefore, in the final chapters of the textbook, the reader learns about cocoon quality assessment and silk reeling (Chapter 9) and the emerging uses of silk (Chapter 10) as a biotechnological and environmentally friendly material since there is a clear shift in scientific literature towards the use of silk as an animal product in a variety of applications, beyond its use as a textile material.
As silkworm rearing for silk production can no longer be considered a solely agricultural activity, it became necessary to draw on many, specialized and technical textbooks and sources in Japanese, English and Italian to compose the manuscript. A great deal of information was also drawn from extremely rare books that are no longer available in print. However, the reader is provided with several websites and links (Chapter 11) for access to audio-visual material and databases covering a wide range of information on sericulture.

description:
Energy and its varioussources are a critical factor for economic development. Our past and current energy choices have enabled many incredible opportunities and benefits for society. The creation of incalculable wealth and prosperity for the inhabitants of our planet, the massive expansion of the population around the world, the exploitation of the vast amounts of natural resources and the creation of a sense of security but also the environmental outbreaks and dangers are due to the use of energy. Energy is the foundation upon which all nations, economies and societies have been built.
In the last three decades, the incentive to examine our energy system has been very limited, as the energy industry has largely relied on its ability to provide increasing amounts of these vital inputs to global economic growth. However, the two energy crises in the 1970s and the most recent one, the problems from the greenhouse effect and therefore  the greatest problem for humanity climate changebrought to the fore, the economics of energy and much more recently the economics of climate change. In recent years, the study of sustainable development has contributed to the immense need to adapt to new conditions of production and consumption, among other things, intensifying the necessity for the creation of a modern book that connects these complex and seemingly unrelated issues.
The consequence was the revision of curricula on a global scale to include the subject of energy and climate change economics, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with the aim ofeducating and preparingyoung scientists and at the same time  of informing citizens for contemporary challenges.

description:
The book discusses ways in which we approach literary texts. Our aim is to explore literary practice through different epistemological perspectives offered by theoretical discourse, so as to enrich our interpretive tools and reflect on our reading skills, judgements and preferences.
It provides a comprehensive overview of various literary theories, each of which is described and placed in its socio-historical context. It deals primarily with the theoretical principles and concepts that form the basis for practical methods and strategies needed to guide critical practice. It is organized around specific theoretical paradigms, which are accompanied by literary texts that serve to highlight the ways in which each paradigm conceives literary interpretation, as well as to identify both the possibilities and the limits of each particular approach. The structure of the book will allow the reader to become familiar with hermeneutics and reading theories, formalism, structuralism and semiotics, classical and post-classical narratology, Marxism, psychoanalytic theory, deconstruction, feminist literary theory, queer and postcolonial theory, and, finally, recent trends in literary theory.

description: Biography as a literary genre may have lost its allure among modern readers. However, the figure of Hannibal, the fearless Carthaginian general who crossed the Alps with elephants to menacingly approach the walls of Rome, continues to hold a significant place in the collective memory of the world, even in present times. This book provides an accessible, well-structured, and multimedia-informed interpretation of the life and career of Hannibal, as portrayed by the Roman biographer Cornelius Nepos. Within the pages of this textbook, alongside the Latin text, readers will find a rich introduction that provides clear and comprehensible insights into the historical, political, social, and economic backdrop of the Punic Wars, Hannibal’s endeavours, and the political and intellectual conditions in which Nepos created his work. The extensive commentary delves into a wide range of linguistic, grammatical, syntactical, stylistic, as well as historical and factual issues. Additionally, the inclusion of audio files featuring the reading of the biography’s chapters in Latin proves highly useful. The bibliography provided is comprehensive, up-to-date, and covers diverse topics, including ancient biography, distinctive features of Nepos’ work, as well as the reception of Hannibal in contemporary literature and cinema. Although the book primarily targets students and scholars of Latin philology, biography, and the political and military history of the ancient Mediterranean, its rich and multifaceted commentary ensures accessibility and appeal to a broader audience.

description: Audio and image processing, with its variety of applications in the modern world, lies under the umbrella of signal processing, a subject that makes extensive use of mathematics and is commonly presented and taught as such. However, this may discourage or even exclude interested students that may not have or are not interested in acquiring the necessary mathematical knowledge while they are interested mostly in concepts and tools. There appears to be a gap in the Greek literature in this respect, that is attempted to be filled by this book. It aspires to show that math is not necessary in understanding basic mono- and two-dimensional signal processing when audio and image signals are to be processed.  Both classical and modern topics and applications are presented, which include digitization of a signal, ways of analyzing it in time/space and/or frequency and use of them in problems of enhancement, restoration and compression of audio/image. In this context, modern machine learning methodologies are also presented, with application including separation of mixed signals and image retrieval from image databases, among others. Examples, both solved and in the form of problems, are provided throughout. This also holds for software tools (based on MATLAB ©) with which the reader can reproduce the examples and create her/his own applications.

description: Zoology is a core subject in the undergraduate programs of Biology around the world, and students’ laboratory practice is essential to solidifying and broadening their theoretical training. This textbook is a guide for the laboratory training of invertebrate zoology students. It includes a series of exercises that focus on the morphology and systematics of basic taxa aiming to allow the student comprehend the structure and diversity of the animal kingdom. The first two laboratory exercises examine the protozoan group and the structure of animal tissues, followed by exercises on the animal taxa of sponges, cnidarians, platyhelminthes, nematodes, annelids, molluscs, chelicerates, myriapods, crustaceans, insects, and echinoderms. For each group, general information is given about its biology, its basic classification at the class or order level; representative organisms are presented with numerous images with detailed indications that help the student observe under the microscope, in living or preserved material, the characteristics of animals. For some groups, such as molluscs, crustaceans and echinoderms, the anatomy of characteristic species is included, with detailed descriptions and exemplifying illustrations, so that the student can perform the anatomy himself following the instructions. In several cases, e.g. sponges, molluscs, insects, crustaceans, the learning of the group is completed with the use of identification keys specially constructed so that the student becomes familiar with the most common species of the Greek fauna.
