description: In this book, the research sector of Molecular Modeling is defined and its contribution to experimental chemistry is extensively analyzed (Chapter 1). Moreover, the importance of computational analysis in the Rational Drug Design of novel compounds is described, as well as its role in complementing the experimental results (Chapter 3). In particular, the contribution of Molecular Dynamics, Extended analysis, Energy Minimization (Chapter 4), and Monte Carlo methods (Chapter 8) to the drug design process is thoroughly discussed. Quantum (Chapter 6) and Molecular mechanical approaches (Chapter 8) are analyzed for the energy calculation and the conformational search of chemical compounds. Furthermore, the forces that govern the interactions of the pharmaceutical molecules with their macromolecule targets are discussed. In the same chapter, the developing algorithms which are used to describe molecular binding are illustrated (Chapter 7). Peptidomimetics is a separate chapter because of its major importance in synthesizing and designing new pharmaceutical molecules. The main example in the history of peptidomimetics resides in the renin-angiotensin system (Chapter 5). In addition, the book includes a specific chapter for the molecular modeling of lipid bilayers and transmembrane receptors, since they act as potent targets for a variety of different drugs (Chapters 2 & 9). Finally, Chapter 10 illustrates some general examples and future insights for the Molecular Modeling research sector. The chapters are accompanied by many questions, exercises, and tests, so the students can understand computational chemistry concepts. Answers are also offered for some of the questions, to aid the students understand the studying material of each chapter. We are sure that the adequate number of questions, examples, and exercises is quite helpful for both the professors and the students in understanding the concepts of Computational Chemistry and Molecular Modeling.

description: Epidemiology is the basis of research in Health Sciences. In this book, the basic principles and the methodology of epidemiological research are presented. Epidemiological studies rely on statistics, employing often complex tests. The complexity of statistics used in Epidemiology works deterrently for many health scientists, who usually avoid the burden of statistical analysis. The aim of this book is to help understand and perform statistical analysis, without the use of mathematical calculations on paper. Instead, practical applications in SPSS and Stata are presented, because the volume of data in medical sciences makes any paper calculations impractical. This book begins with basic epidemiological applications such as data presentation, basic epidemiological rates, comparing continuous and categorical variables, simple linear regression, and strata analysis. In the second part, the statistics of cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies are presented, also focusing on survival analysis and logistic regression. Finally, a chapter on strategies of analysis and presentation of results for publication concludes the book. Each chapter begins with a brief introduction of the topics covered. Then a step-by-step approach in SPPS and Stata is presented and after the examples, there are review exercises for the reader, who can use any statistical package he wishes.

description:
There are many reasons that advocate the teaching of mathematics from the first school age and are related to the important role that mathematics plays in our society; to the fact that children from a very young age have the ability and the interest to learn mathematics; as well as to the fact that young children have early informal mathematical knowledge. These early knowledge on the one hand can create the foundations for the learning of formal mathematics and on the other can negatively affect school performance due to their differences (e.g. informal knowledge of different levels).
In order to close the gap of possible differences in the early informal mathematical knowledge of young children and to reduce the risk of creating learning difficulties during the formal teaching of mathematics at the higher levels of education, it is suggested that teachers use conscious teaching practices and teaching interventions which to support a quality mathematics education.
In this context, the inquiry approach, as an innovative pedagogical practice for teaching mathematics, proposes the construction of knowledge through collaboration, communication and argumentation, emphasizing not only to the cultivation of the cognitive domain and the acquisition of mathematical knowledge, but also the social and communicative domain, resulting in the cultivation of various abilities and skills, necessary for the student in the present and in the future period of time, for his role as an active, aware and intelligent citizen.
The need to support candidates, but also active teachers in the above "requirements" led to the writing of this book. In this book, theoretical, research and educational issues are presented and discussed, necessary for the search, the design, the selection, the evaluation and the preparation for use of (educational) materials and activities, with the aim of approaching basic topics of early childhood mathematics (Numbers and Operations, Patterns, Space, Plane Shapes and Geometric Solids, Length, Area, Statistics and Probability), through the inquiry-based approach.

description:
Because of the pandemic, the educational community experienced all of a sudden, a different approach to teaching. It is clear that we are not likely to return to the world we knew before the pandemic. Many people think about the need to renew education, based mainly on the knowledge and opportunities that online communication has brought forth.

However, in order not to exacerbate the inequalities that have emerged in the pandemic era, any renewal must safeguard the right to education for all; especially with respect to distance education, which is a form with particular features, and which requires the commitment of the teacher and the student in adapting to new communication prospects.

Subsequently, we reevaluate not technology, as we are used to in the recent decades, but education itself as a process of transmission and acquisition of knowledge, experience, and skills. We may say that we are faced with reconsidering what "instructional design" means and more generally what "teaching and learning" means in these new communication environments, which have appeared for so many years now but only recently, due to the pandemic, have become known to the majority of the educational community.

And as it has been the case in all periods of human history, it is up to us, the teachers, to either concentrate on our students, preparing them for this new field of educational change, or let them simply follow an evolution progress that others will create.

It is certain that through the pages of this book, every aspect of education with digital tools or distance education cannot be covered, but it can contribute to preparing the teacher to use digital technology in the classroom as well as in the distance education process.

description: This book examines theoretical and applied terminology issues in the light of the translation process. In particular, it aims at introducing students to the basic principles of terminological science and its different applications in translation practice. This subject field, being interdisciplinary by nature, as it combines linguistics, translation, language technology as well as various other subject fields through the study of their terminology, has been an independent subject field for more than five decades. In today’s globalised and constantly changing technological environment, the need for appropriate multilingual communication makes the role of terminology even more crucial and directly related to translation studies. The book is structured in ten chapters, in which key issues related to terminology are studied. The discussion focuses inter alia on special languages and their particular characteristics, basic theoretical principles of terminology, the place of terminology in translation, terminology management, terminology products and data, as well as terminology management tools. Special emphasis is placed on language technologies that support terminological work in translation, such as termbases, terminological mining tools or corpus management tools, etc. Then the cases of specific types of texts, such as for example legal, medical, financial or EU texts, are studied and the particularities presented from a terminological point of view are analysed. The study is supported by extensive use of examples and authentic texts in various language pairs.

description: The book entitled “Environment and Sustainable Development” examines the concept of sustainable development focusing on the environmental dimension, illustrating the role of sustainability in crucial environmental sectors. Sustainable development has been a dominant concept in the scientific community for more than thirty years, but still remains current: evolving, redefining, and readjusting its goals. The turn towards sustainability is a modern solution promoted in the international policy level in order to address environmental problems. Issues that have historically been of great concern to the international community in the struggle for environmental protection are investigated in the book and the readers are introduced to the concept of sustainability and its three pillars. Sustainability is examined in relation to natural resources, as well as to the primary sector of production. Tools for measuring sustainable development are presented, with particular reference to sustainable development indicators, while the impact of the role of scale is considered as well. In addition, Agenda 2030 and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are analyzed, focusing on their implementation in the European Union. The contribution of international organizations in sustainable development policy is investigated, designating the most important institutions that play a central role in the decision making at global level in the fields of environment and sustainable development. The impact of development and consumption on the natural environment and natural resources is analyzed, while the concept of sustainability is investigated in relation to development. Renewable Energy Sources and their importance to the promotion of sustainable development and the fight against climate change are presented. The connection of sustainable development to materials use, waste management, recycling and the impact of pollution are also examined. Furthermore, two special issues of sustainable development are presented: circular economy and corporate social responsibility.

description: The properties and functions of gamification and filmmaking provide a highly creative way of achieving learning objectives. The combination of principles and methods responds to the need for seeking the specificity of the way, in which students form perceptions, acquire and organise knowledge. Through the proposed methodology Serious Film Games (S.FI.GA.), playful actions of understanding are promoted, and subjective, social, moral and political considerations emerge. Insisting on a circuit of exchange between digital and analogue perception, it is studied how they are recorded and function. The planning and production of a short movie through students' wanderings in the world of digital games, is a particularly creative process. It activates students' attention and broadens their perception. The structure of the narrative, the ambiguity and fluidity in the action of characters/heroes  due to interventions in the development of the story, are challenging students' thinking. Τhe manipulation of the theme, the characters, the narrative itself aims at a way of structuring/organizing by studying their links. Students understand causes of action and become actively involved. They come into action within the digital world, they focus on the real world, in which they are getting experience and are actively involved.

description: The book "Spatial Planning: Technical, Legal and Economic Dimensions. Emphasis on mountainous and maritime space" comes to serve two needs: the creation of a learning infrastructure for undergraduate students of TATM AUTh and postgraduate students of Departments of Greek Universities. The aims are to introduce and familiarize students with the basic concepts and theories of development, space, spatial planning and regional development. At the same time, the aims are to present and analyse the existing legal framework for regional development and spatial planning in the EU and Greece. In addition, the aims are to deepen and analyze, from the perspective of spatial planning, two particularly important spatial units for Greece: the mountain and the sea. The book gives an additional distinct approach: the perspective of spatial planning through the dimension of the study of the ownership regime and the institutions of its recording. Ownership as a development parameter and spatial planning is studied both at the international level (with emphasis on mountainous areas but also on the participation of women in land ownership) and in Greece through the longitudinal monitoring of its evolution, considering that it is a timeless development that shaped and still affects today the design and implementation of development initiatives in the different regions of the country. Highlighting the importance of the Cadastre and the Marine Cadastre as necessary tools for Spatial Planning both on land and at sea, respectively, offers another parameter that is usually ignored but is vital at a global level and in Greece. Finally, the analysis of the concept of the environmental and cultural economy as a tool for regional development forms another aspect that needs to be highlighted.

description: The knee joint is a particularly complicated area, and it presents the most frequent pathology than any other area of the musculoskeletal system. The pathology of the knee concerns both a younger population that engages in sports activities, as well as an older population that presents degenerative changes of the type of osteoarthritis in their knee. In fact, knee osteoarthritis surgeries are the most common types of surgical procedures in the population of the elderly, that is people over 65 years of age. The pathology of the knee is directly related to the particularities of the anatomy. The present textbook aims to cover all aspects of the anatomy of the knee in order to provide the young surgeon with detailed anatomical knowledge and knowledge in order to operate safely and confidently in knee surgery. The aim of this textbook is to cover in detail the superficial anatomy of the knee and the surgical anatomy of the bones, menisci, ligaments and muscles, which are responsible for the movement of the studied joint. The peculiarities of blood supply and innervation of the anatomical structures of particular surgical interest, such as the ligaments and menisci of the knee, will also be presented. In addition, this textbook will deal with the imaging anatomy of the knee in all imaging methods, i.e. simple X-ray, ultrasound, CT and MRI. The arthroscopic anatomy of the knee, the access portals as well as the surgical access of the area depending on the pathology of the joint are also presented. The textbook will also cover the kinematics and biomechanics of the knee with particular emphasis on the patellofemoral joint. Finally, this textbook will deal with the clinical examination and the clinical tests which highlight the various pathological entities of the knee.

description: The book starts with the notions of law and justice in Homeric society, and comtinues with  the origins of written law, focusing on the motives and purposes that led to the creation of the first written laws, and to the terms used for legal norms. The chapter on the law of Sparta studies the Lycurgan legislation, the established authorities, the categories of status (citizens, perioikoi, hilots and slaves), the administration of justice and the provisions of civil law. The study of the law of Gortyn focuses on magistrates and other authorities, personal status, inheritance, administration of justice and torts. The following chapters  examine thoroughly the law of classical Athens, starting with the evolution of law-making from the first legislators to the legislative activity of the Assembly and to the establishment of a new procedure in 403/2, as well as the graphe paranomon. As fae asthe administration of justice is concerned, the focus is on the stages of procedure at the courts of Heliaia, on the limited capacity of other boards, and on the procedure of arbitration.After that personal status (citizens, women, aliens, metics, slaves), family law (marriage, dowry, parent-child relations, adoption and guardianship), are analysed as well as theinheritance (intestate and testamentary succession). The analysis of the law of property refers to the different categories of property, to the ways of acquisition, and to the restrictions on property, whereas the part on the law of transactions focuses on sale, lease, and loan. The next chapters examine the law of homicide (procedures, different categories of homicide), and the laws concerning crimes and torts against personality, family, and property). The final chapter studies the control of magistrates (before, during and after tenure), political crime (laws on treason, tyranny, subversion of the regime, and procedures in court).

description:
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder with elevated blood glucose levels. It is one of the most challenging health issues affecting approximately 450 million people worldwide and this number is estimated to increase to 693 million by 2045. The cost of managing diabetes in the US exceeds $322 billion each year with emergency room visits due to the complications of diabetes.
Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for people with diabetes. Diabetic retinopathy is the most common cause of new cases of blindness in adults aged 20-74 years in developed countries. Diabetic chronic kidney disease is the 16th leading cause of loss of life worldwide.
The aim of this publication is the possibility of a holistic approach to the Diabetic Disease by students, doctors, researchers and health professionals, based on a documented review of the most recent literature, with an analysis of the mechanisms of the pathogenesis and complications of diabetes, with familiarity with modern diagnostic control methods, information on the therapeutic approaches of the future, and emphasis on the importance of diabetes prevention. It is striking how much money is currently being spent on treating diabetes, which is driving the costs of care for National Health Systems sky high, and how little benefit is actually flowing to the users. This difference demonstrates a set of problems to be investigated, the main one being the lack of prevention programs. Micro- and nano-technologies have provided solutions to limit painful conventional insulin therapy. Although tele-medicine today incorporates parameters extremely helpful in the management of diabetes, such as two-way video, smartphones, tablets, wireless monitors supported by real-time algorithms, however, a small percentage of patients enjoy these benefits who have the skills and financial ability to access them.
Therefore, national health systems must prioritize the provision of patient-centred care.

description:
This book, "Business Strategies for achieving sustainable competitive advantage" aims to combine knowledge, theories and empirical research on the ways and methods that a business should apply to analyse, plan, formulate and implement the strategies, as well as the analysis of case studies to link theory with practice.
The topics that will be studied in this volume are distributed in 11 chapters. The first four chapters present the general concepts of strategy and sustainable competitive advantage, combined with the strategic analysis of the firm and its environment. The importance of developing a clear vision and mission statement, with an emphasis on the importance of translating these into specific and objective performance objectives that will reflect management's performance expectations, industry competitive conditions and the capabilities of the company's internal environment; forms the basis of the current situation analysis. Then, the concepts and tools of the assessment of the external environment are presented first, to investigate and evaluate the possible opportunities and threats in the company's environment. At the same time, then the resources and capabilities that exist within the company are analysed and evaluated. At the same time, emphasis is placed on the strategic capabilities that can be developed and create the basis of its competitive advantage.
The following five chapters focus on the formulation and selection of the appropriate strategy, presenting and evaluating the competition strategies, the development strategies, the strategies in the global environment, the innovation strategy, and the ways of implementing the above strategies. The next chapter focuses on the choice of strategy and its implementation processes, while the last chapter is connected to all the previous ones and emphasizes the concept, theories, and measurement of competitiveness while presenting a large number of research results.

Their ambition is to bring to light circumstances, in which tension is manifested between the branches of knowledge, and the importance of the demarcation of science and philosophy emerges. The way the issues are raised at these critical junctures, the "questions" that arise and the solutions that are given are enlightening for the understanding of ancient Greek thought.

The book can be divided into two parts. The first part refers to the way in which Plato and Aristotle dealt with the phenomena of the heavens - mainly in their works Timaeus and De Caelo respectively. Plato connected philosophy with mathematics and considered astronomy a useful mathematical science for philosophy. Aristotle instead tried to separate the philosophical approach to ουρανός from the mathematical one. The second part examines the corresponding problems in the years of the great development of Greek science, that is, in the Hellenistic and the Roman period. The phenomena of the Heavens primarily concern astronomers, proposing bold and effective mathematical theories, but they are also a field of serious reflection for natural philosophers. Both seek to "save the phenomena", but they do so in a different way and with a different method. This controversy persists until the time of Copernicus.

description:
The current linear economic model of “take, make, dispose” has led to excessive pressure on the ecosystems, due to the uncontrolled exploitation of natural resources and waste generation. The circular economic model aims to gradually decouple economic growth from the consumption of finite resources and could actively rebuild biodiversity.
In a circular economy, waste doesn’t exist. The products will be reused, again and again, keeping materials circulating for as long as possible. It is a philosophy of reusing, repurposing, regenerating. Natural ecosystems, including the continuous flow of materials, inspire the circular economy. Waste is recycled and brought back into production processes.
The circular economy in the agri-food sector is linked to the "smart" management of biomass, leading to a variety of products (soil improvers, animal feed, biofuels, etc.). The reuse of waste and by-products eliminates environmental pollution and also increases the economic value of the agri-food chain, leading to a "zero waste" society.
Nowadays, “circular” entrepreneurship represents an emerging market with huge potential. The “circular” enterprises go further than the usual sustainable development practices and are associated with economic growth and many opportunities.
The present book aims to analyze the contribution of the circular economy to the agri-food sector. It’s thoroughly researched the concept of circular economy and its applications in agri-food enterprises. The book also studies the "circular" opportunities, the inhibiting factors, and the relevant business models. The book's last part is dedicated to various Greek and global good practices in the agri-food sector.

description: In this textbook it is examined in depth the undeniable relationship between cognitive and motor development and the cognitive processes involved in motor learning. Movement is a main feature of human life considering that through movement a person can explore his/her environment, show self-handling skills, expresses himself/herself through sports, arts or even movement can function as an end in itselfDue to this close interrelation between cognitive and motor development, difficulties or disorders in one area affects the other. The theories that are presented in this course book are approached in order to point out this interrelation and the development of the factors that have an effect in it (e.g. heredity–environment). The presence of difficulties or disorders influences all aspects of development in infants, children, adolescents, and later adults. People that deviate from “normal” are affected more in all aspects of development (cognitive, motor, emotional, social etc.). Motor and cognitive evaluation is valuable for professionals to understand better the weaknesses and the abilities of children, especially in those interrelated developmental components. A dynamic intervention model is suggested that considers the aforementioned relationship. The ultimate objective of this intervention model is the development (enhancement) of both knowledge and experience that will help children to scaffold his/her difficulties in everyday living (e.g. free play, playground etc.). Additionally in this textbook the best practices are presented in Developmental and Adapted Physical Education. Several activities are proposed and their aim is not exclusively the motor development but also the cognitive as the child is studied as a whole.

description: Heart failure (HF) is a complex clinical syndrome, which is characterized by impairment of heart function with progressive worsening of symptoms. HF is classified according to the time of its onset and the location of the lesion. Early diagnosis is a key factor for initiating treatment, slowing disease progression, reducing readmissions and improving quality of life. Treatment for HF is pharmacological and non-pharmacological and depends on the type and stage of the disease. Information and education allow each patient with HF to form a complete picture of the health state and, in general, to deepen their understanding of the disease and the required skills to maintain autonomy in everyday life. Self-care is the most basic aspect of treating patients with HF and consists of two interrelated parts: self-care maintenance and self-care management. Patients with HF must be adherent with medication, dietary recommendations, regular physical exercise and frequent reassessment as well as to manage worsening of their symptoms. Patients with HF experience mental disorders, mainly anxiety and depression, which require diagnosis and treatment. Improving quality of life is the ultimate goal in the management of HF.

description:
The book aims at familiarizing the reader (post graduate student in computer science or engineering) with significant areas of computational intelligence. Emphasis is put both on the theoretical mathematical background of fuzzy logic and design and training algorithms, as well as on a thorough description of main applications. In the first chapters the fundamentals of fuzzy logic are presented and the structure and operation of fuzzy rules and approximate reasoning are analyzed. The classical fuzzy system and its structure (fuzzifier, defuzzifier, rule base, inference engine) are studied. The design process of PIS, MIS, Takagi-Sugeno-Kang, fuzzy neural networks is given and the most prominent structure and parameter identification algorithms are examined, while genetic FRBCS are also described.
Recurrent fuzzy models and recurrent neural networks are introduced, along with dedicated learning techniques.
As far as real-world applications are concerned, the problems of sound processing, electric load forecasting, real-time separation of lung sounds and mining of telecommunications data are studied, while emphasis is also put on classification and automatic control.
The book concludes with the issue of fuzzy deep learning and a series of deep fuzzy structures is discussed.
Numerous models and algorithms have been implemented in MATLAB/Octave, such that the reader becomes familiar with scientific programming.

description: The textbook presents the clinical assessment, diagnosis and treatment of the severely ill or seriously injured child and adolescent in the light of current guidelines (best practice). The most prevalent problems of Emergency Pediatrics and Intensive Care of children hospitalized in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) are analyzed in a simple and comprehensive manner. The textbook constitutes a bridge between the extensive scientific literature and the modern needs of doctors and nurses in problems that require immediate and logarithmic structural approach. The present textbook aspires to inform and equip the undergraduate and the postgraduate student, the doctor and the nurse, with the knowledge of initial assessment, resuscitation, reassessment and emergency treatment of children with critical illness or severe trauma. The cases presented are taken from the emergency department, the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), health centers, wards and operative rooms. The individual chapters include the assessment of the pediatric patient and the algorithmic diagnostic and therapeutic approach, which follow the paths of appropriate information systems of the "expert system" type equipped with knowledge of decision reaching techniques (decision trees, machine learning) in Electronic Health Record (EHR) type applications. Indicatively, issues related to the recognition, resuscitation, emergency treatment of life-threatening conditions, the evaluation and treatment of organic deficiencies due to disease or trauma, acid-base balance disorders, mechanical support of breathing, dialysis, systematic monitoring of vital functions and more are analyzed. More specific issues related to human factors, communication in the ICU, and bioethics, are also presented. The textbook is a distillation of long experience of the authors in basic and specialized life support in combination with the implementation of best practices based on current guidelines.

Pulmonary function tests are the main tests used in the daily medical practice of the Respiratory Physician. However, they are also useful for the individual clinician to assess the capacity of the respiratory system. This book aims to be a useful aid for every clinician, and a tool for deepening anyone with a special interest in Respiratory medicine. As the educational gaps in this subject are known, we believe this book will be useful to medical students and young doctors.
In this book, basic elements of respiratory mechanics are described, and then the corresponding chapters analyze the functional tests of the respiratory system, which include spirometry, measurement of diffusing capacity of the lungs, body plethysmography, measurements of respiratory muscles, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. In addition, the utility of pulse oximetry and measured nitric oxide is demonstrated. Finally, reference is made to the tests used to assess respiratory function in children, and the particularities presented in this special population.
The knowledge presented in this book is enriched by the clinical examples and reinforced by the questions at the end of each chapter. And of course, the study can be continued in the recommended books and other related electronic resources.

The Technology of Hydroponics

keywords: Calculation of inorganic nutrients in hydroponics

uk: Математика, природничі науки

description: This book provides useful information for the student, grower, and anyone interested in hydroponics and how this method of plant production works as applied to a wide range of growing conditions. Hydroponics refers to the technology of growing horticultural plants without using natural soil. The plants are cultivated either in a pure water solution with inorganic salts (fertilizers), or mainly on inert, porous substrates to which the nutrient solution is added. Hydroponic cultivation is an expanding method of agricultural production, mainly in the greenhouse area, because by optimizing the environment of the crown, which is achieved with the greenhouse, and the environment of the root which is achieved with hydroponics, plant yields increase (up to and over a tenfold degree compared to an outdoor cultivation) and the quality of the produced products is improved. Hydroponics began after the 18th century as a tool for academic research in plant nutrition and much later (20th century) evolved into a production method. The root and the effects of the root environment (such as water, substrate porosity, salt concentration, temperature, pH and microorganisms) determine plant growth and performance. Both in the case of the soil and in the case of hydroponics, the root is the filter that controls the entry of various chemical elements into the plant's organs. The environment in which plant organisms develop determines to what extent the characters determined by their genetic potential (DNA) can be developed and therefore the potential for a successful production. Today, many methods of hydroponics (to regulate the root environment) have been developed and are applied internationally, such as cultivation in a shallow flowing nutrient solution, cultivation in nutrient solution reservoirs, cultivation in sprayed nutrient solution (aeroponics), cultivation in inert materials, and cultivation in organic substrates. The inorganic elements (ions) of fertilizers are irreplaceable for the growth and production of plants. However, due to the interactions between ions and their competition, the various ions that make up plant nutrients, must be in the proper proportion to each other in the solution around the root. Of course, the optimal relationships between these elements are not the same for all species of plants, not even during the entire cultivation period. The basic composition of the nutrient solution must be adapted appropriately during the different phases of the plants and changes in the environment, e.g., during the vegetative growth of plants, at the beginning of fruiting, or when there is high humidity, low temperature, sunshine etc. In order to create the appropriate nutrient solution each time, the necessary calculations are made to determine the required amounts of inorganic nutrients and to determine the weight of the related fertilizers. With the proposed method, it is possible to change the electric conductivity of the solution to be used without changing the ratio between basic nutrients and to correct the composition based on the ions contained in the irrigation and drainage water. Except for soil crops and in hydroponic crops, harmful fungi and other microorganisms can grow in the root environment. Protection measures against pathogenic microorganisms are therefore also useful in hydroponic crops.

description:
Both the fetus and the mother's health have always been impacted by the mother's diet during pregnancy. Several factors influence a pregnant woman's eating habits, including interpersonal relationships, institutional, and social factors. Nutrition knowledge can have a positive impact on women's nutrition. Therefore, proper nutrition during pregnancy has been linked to favorable outcomes for mothers and newborns, especially among obese women.
Nutritional counseling is uncommon among prenatal care practitioners. Insufficient training, a scarcity of free time, a shortage of resources, and other issues all contribute to the absence of counseling. However, due to their frequent contact with pregnant women, midwives and obstetricians are in a unique position to provide nutrition care. Thus, the aim of this textbook is to develop the knowledge necessary to provide nutritional care and counsel women about the importance of acquiring optimal nutrition during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and infancy.

description:
The book comprises three main purposes: a) It treats the teaching and research field of the Political Sociology of Emotions and, responding to the international consolidation of the scientific field, it aspires to be the first of its kind in the Greek academic community. b) It introduces a new analytical perspective to the international debate, that of the intrinsic connection of emotional dynamics with socio-political dimensions of justice and the will, as well as the relationship of ressentiment in particular with the public good. c) Among other case studies, it deals with the two most intense recent socio-political events in Greece, that of the covid-19 health crisis and the perception of right wing extremism.
Starting from the historical-theoretical conceptualization of emotions, the analysis scales from the micro-level of subjectivity to the macro-socio-political level. Basic views on the key emotions scrutinized by the extant literature are analyzed, with the emphasis thereafter placed on the moral dimension of emotions. Through the discussion about the will, the first step towards the purely social dimension, that of  political freedom, is made.
The emotional dimension of freedom is considered pivotal for the subsequent discussion about risk, political interest and the legitimizing power of trust. The crisis of trust and the social trauma that it brings about is linked to socio-political pathologies and political strategies of subjectivities, such as cynicism, ressentiment, worthlessness and meritocracy, the derail of public interest and the common good, compassion and forgiveness. We analyze the emotional dimension of social movements, extremism as well as the current challenges to the rule of law and the Constitution which is perceived  as a symbolic public sphere of overlapping consensuses figurated in society.

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

description: This book addresses spatial representations that include the traditional static maps as well as contemporary digital forms, such as animated maps, interactive maps and multimedia maps, distributed either in web or in local digital environment. An interdisciplinary approach is followed in analyzing the way of how all these media for geographic space representation function. Thus, theoretical principles and technological means supporting techniques of spatial representations creation, their way of functioning and evaluation methods are presented. Within the interdisciplinary approach, the basic principles of visual perception and cognitive processing of two-dimensional representations are referred, on which the analysis of reading and interpretation processes is based. Within the same framework, a brief report is made on the principles of semiology, which constitute the basic theoretical tool for creating rules on the cartographic symbolization and the analysis of reading and interpretation of spatial representations.

description: This textbook is part of the field of Political Sociology with references to the Sociology of Gender and Youth. It uses empirical material and approaches from the field of Political Behavior, seeking a combined approach of gender and age in order to illuminate the political character of social actors with emphasis on youth. It deals with the social category of young people and explores trends and changes related to the political patterns of young women and men in the 21st century. A gender perspective permeates the whole approach, as a necessary condition for an inclusive approach to socio-political reality. It is based on a wealth of data from research designed and implemented by the two authors, as well as other researchers, both at EKKE and NKUA, as well as on studies included in the international literature and in international databases. It focuses on age and gender, since the latter  constitute two very important parameters that influence the formation and expression of political identities: Age in the sense of generation is determined by the period  climate  in which the early socialization of each different generation takes place, while gender determines and is determined by different socializing experiences that the subjects have, depending on whether they are boys or girls, in a context of deeply unequal gender relations.

description: Regional (or geographical or spatial) inequality is a major dimension of overall inequality with socio-economic and political repercussions. This type of inequality is a topic of significant academic interest and is becoming a fundamental issue for human society, governments and policymakers. For instance, its reduction is one of the key policy objectives in the EU agenda, mainly due to the strong focus placed on achieving economic, social and territorial cohesion. In light of this situation, the main goal of the monograph is to examine in a comprehensive and systematic way the patterns and evolution of spatial inequality in Greece in an evolving socio-economic environment. Greece is a developed country with significant socio-economic problems presenting not only a distinct kind of spatial dualism in the form of Attiki (and its small near satellite regions) and non-Attiki, compared to the most common north-south and east-west dualism found in other EU countries, but also a high level of income spatial disparity. Moreover, the context for spatial inequality has been dramatically reshaped and become significantly more challenging during recent years since Greece has undergone a number of significant changes which can be connected with processes operating on both international and national scales: the acceleration of the European integration and the recent 2008 economic crisis are, probably, the most serious. As a result, the Greek regions have been experiencing a period of unprecedented transformation affecting not only their socioeconomic status but also the strength, intensity, direction and structure of spatial inequality in the country. For the investigation of regional inequality in Greece, a number of spatial statistical and econometric techniques are employed; these types of techniques can highlight the role and importance of geographic space, draw more valid inferences than traditional (a-spatial) techniques and unmask additional aspects of the issue.

description:
Ultrasonography is a fundamental tool in every day Emergency Medicine and Critical Care clinical practice. The skills to handle this tool in critical care patients at its best should be obtained after standardized education. The advantages of Critical Care Ultrasonography have long been identified, as it can answer clinical questions and guide management (diagnostics, invasive procedures, monitoring). As happens with every technological advancement, clinicians should combine knowledge gained from special treatment with the skills to gain the most benefit. Thus, the potential for specific education on the acquisition and interpretation of ultrasonographic images from every organ of the human body should be provided to every Critical Care physician. Moreover, every educational program should be accompanied by an integrated approach to theoretical education on ultrasonography.
The present manual aims at providing the basic theoretical knowledge on ultrasonography, so that Critical Care Ultrasound can become a prerequisite examination, combined with clinical evaluation of the patients, to reach the diagnosis and monitor the efficacy of treatments followed. Special attention should be paid in the hemodynamic evaluation of the patients, as hemodynamic instability and its treatment are everyday problems that critical care doctors must deal with. Therefore, using critical care ultrasonography, the physician should be able to differentiate shock (obstructive, cardiogenic, distributive, hypovolemic), manipulate ventilator settings, and guide the weaning process.
In the present manual, the first chapter is dedicated to the basics of ultrasonography. The rest four chapters refer to the basic pathological conditions of the lung that a critical care/respiratory physician should be able to identify. In detail, the second chapter concerns the evaluation of pathologies in the pleural cavity and, the 3rd covers pathologies of the lung parenchyma. The fourth chapter is dedicated to the evaluation of the diaphragm, while the fifth chapter entails the comprehensive evaluation of patients with different clinical scenarios, where the reader can identify the clinical applications of lung ultrasonography.

description: This book is dedicated to Tight Binding. It explains the principles on which this method is based on and it presents its applications on molecules like the nucleic acid bases and similar ones, as well as on base pairs, which we call monomers. Then we extend it to dimers, trimers, oligomers and polymers as well as to various categories of one-dimensional solids, periodic or aperiodic (quasi-periodic or fractal). It is explained how we arrive to a two-level system as two initially isolated one-level systems approach, and then we extend to multi-level systems. Various one-dimensional systems are solved and principal notions are defined. Conjugated molecules are examined analytically (in simpler cases) as well as numerically. The linear combination of atomic orbitals as well as the linear combination of molecular orbitals is introduced. Then, the electronic structure using all valence orbitals is discussed and it is applied to benzene and 1,3,5-triazine. Afterwards, the electronic structure and the charge transfer in DNA monomers, dimers, trimers, tetramers and polymers is examined either at the base pair level or at the base level. Various well-known models are analyzed like the wire model, the simple and extended ladder model, as well as their combinations with the fishbone model. Then we examine the electronic structure and the charge transfer in atomic carbon wires aka carbynes, either cumulenic or polyynic. Tight binding models are presented in second quantization formulation and various famous aperiodic sequences (quasi-periodic or fractal) are analyzed.

description: The textbook introduces the student to the basic concepts of banking law,  by  helping them to comprehend  the institutions of the banking system within the European Union and in Greece  . Such a fundamental institution is the European Central Bank (ECB) which together with the national central banks of the member states constitute the European System of Central Banks, that serves the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU), which is an advanced form of economic integration within the European Union (EU). The institutional framework of the European Banking Union is under examination; the basic pillars of the EMU and of the banking system within EU are scrutinized; the new framework of a European economic governance is also examined. The relationships between our country and the banking system of the European Union via the Eurosystem are delimited. The Eurosystem consists of the ECB together with the national central banks of the member states that have adopted the euro as their currency. One bank belonging to the Eurosystem is the Bank of Greece. The historical evolution, the competences and the important role the Bank of Greece for the greek banking system is examined. Moreover the structure of the greek banking system  in which the Bank of Greece supervises specific credit institutions and financial institutions (within a spirit of good faith and information sharing with ECB), is presented. The concepts of a credit institution and of a financial institution are scrutinized. Furthermore, the textbook examines issues of private banking law, such as the protection of the consumer of banking services, the legal relationship between a bank and a customer, the banking deposit, the banking account, the credit, the bank guarantee and the documentary of credit, certain kinds of negotiable instruments (bill of exchange, check), modern finance contracts, transfer of funds, bank transfers.

description: The objective of this book is to be a basic educational material in “Computational Intelligence and Deep Learning”. At first the basic concepts of Artificial Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms are presented. The association with Artificial Intelligence and the traditional search and optimization methods is discussed, as well as with the biological systems that they have inspired. The basic concepts of learning theory and the two learning paradigms (supervised and unsupervised learning) are provided. It follows the presentation of the basic training algorithms of the Artificial Neural Networks, with focus on the well-known algorithm, Error Back Propagation – EBP). The Deep Learning Networks, models and training, conclude the presentation of feedforward artificial neural networks. Next the Genetic/Evolutionary algorithms are founded and a case study is discussed - their combination in a hybrid algorithm-, and how to design and train an evolutionary neural network as well. Also, it is presented a short introduction to Genetic Programming (GP), that is a permutation of Evolutionary Algorithms, based on the Darwin’s evolution theory. Finally, two different unsupervised learning paradigms are presented. More specifically, the Hopfield Networks (a kind of autocorrelated memory) and Kohonen Networks (a kind of self-organized maps for data clustering) are presented, as well as their training algorithms. In all the chapters the objectives and the learning results are referred and it is quoted a sufficient number of examples, exercises and activities, that help in better understanding of the presented subjects. It will be very helpful for the readers to have basic knowledge of discrete mathematics, linear algebra, combinatorics and programming. Those who are interested to use these technologies for problem solving have to take care to access these skills. Otherwise, they will have troubles with the easy understanding of the material.
