description: The textbook aims at raising awareness (a) of pragmatic variation, interculturally, between Greek and English, as manifested through translation practice and (b) of methodological aspects of translation research, which are often neglected in postgraduate research. Chapter 1 focuses on the notion of translation shift in target discourses of various genres and tackles certain methodological issues, which permeate research in translation studies. Chapters 2, 3 and 4 deal with one pragmatic type of variation each, which the textbook approaches through translation practice on stage, in novels, in tourism, in academic discourse, in technical texts, etc. Chapter 2 deals with deixis and discourse connectivity, namely, with phenomena affected by the positive politeness of Greek.  Chapter 3 deals with speech acts and how they are performed differently cross-culturally and manifest themselves through translation. Chapter 4 deals with how translators transfer implicatures across English-Greek, by either enforcing them or toning them down to meet the communicative goals of discourse in the reception environment. Chapter 5 goes back to methodological issues in translation research, highlighting how the intercultural variation, presented in previous chapters, may be fruitfully researched. Chapter 6 summarizes themes tackled in the textbook and sheds light on the interdisciplinary nature of translation research. All chapters are followed by discussion questions on pragmatic variation between English andGreek, as manifested through translation practice. Suggested answers to the discussion questions appear in a separate section at the end of the book. The textbook raises intercultural awareness via English-Greek translation practice, it broadens perception of how translators may be using their freedom in transferring meaning cross-culturally, and enforces the methodological apparatus of postgraduates in translation research.

description: This comprehensive book incorporates fundamental knowledge on theoretical and applied Physical Meteorology. It has been written to support undergraduates and postgraduates in several introductory courses in atmospheric sciences available in the Greek universities. It covers a range of topics from the analysis of thermodynamic processes and the planetary radiative transfer, as well as the atmospheric motions, the cloud physics and the atmospheric boundary layer. It also includes an introductory and applied approach to the methods and techniques of numerical weather prediction (NWP) and offers the essential material for meteorological data assimilation (DA). All these objectives are given in an introductory and applied approach. The book is divided into nine chapters and the appendix. In the first chapter, an introduction of the Earth’s atmospheric environment is presented, while the radiation budget of the planet is covered in the second chapter. Atmospheric thermodynamics and motions are presented in the chapters three and four respectively. Next chapters (five, six and seven) are devoted to the weather systems characteristics, the cloud physics as well as the turbulent motions in the atmospheric boundary layer respectively. The theoretical and practical material of the NWP and DA is covered in the chapters eight and nine respectively. The appendix includes a series of experiments, with the description of the relevant infrastructure hosted at the Geography Department, aiming to offer an insight into the gas laws, the adiabatic process, the force balances and the friction. More than 100 questions and exercises are included at the end of the chapters to help the students to understand the meaning and the application of basic physical principles. The answers and the solutions of most of them are incorporated into the text. The entire material of this book can be covered in one or in multiple semesters depending on the character of the undergraduate/postgraduate course and the option of the instructor.

description:
This textbook is an introduction to the reader to the economic principles of business economics in relation to the new information technologies that have changed the way business is done. The book is divided into two parts: Part A deals with business economics and market analysis, while Part B deals with the 'new' economics of information technology.
In particular, Part A presents the theory of supply and demand of 'traditional' product markets and the analysis of the factors that determine these two sides of the market. Cost and production theories and forms of markets for goods are analyzed (perfect competition, monopoly, oligopoly, monopolistic competition). Part B of the book focuses on the information goods that have created a new era, the so-called digital revolution and the 'new' information economy. An analysis is made of the main characteristics of information goods and their differences from physical goods, the effects of networks on markets, the externalities created in the demand for goods, as well as the pricing forms of information products are described. Moreover, the issues of innovation and entrepreneurship, copyright, patents and their legal protection are analyzed. Next, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and their effects on firms’ productivity and the economy are examined. Finally, case studies of new developments in information technology such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, chain technology and digital currencies, 5G technology, big data science and automation technology are presented.

description: This book surveys the rapid development of digital media like digital television, the participatory Internet, multimedia services, social networking sites and mobile technology, focusing on their social diffusion and analysing the impact of these media broadly on society, local and international politics and Economics. It aims to provide an integrated platform for students to engage and critically analyse the issues surrounding the multifaceted relationships between digital media and the society in general. For this purpose, it attempts to include most critical areas of influence of digital media in the context of Social Sciences: Society, Politics and Economics. In the first three chapters, the introductory terms and notions are presented, including the Information Society and the transition to the Networked Society. In the following chapter, the transition from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 is described and social media and Social Networking Analysis are introduced. Two chapters of this book are dedicated on implications of social media in Politics, Education and the New Generation. In five chapters of the book, the Ηabermasian Public Sphere issues are investigated through the lens of digital media. Therefore, the Digital Divide is initially defined followed by an analysis of many critical areas including Democracy in the Digital Age, e-Government, e-Business and e-Commerce. Subsequently, Social Movements and Activism in the Digital Age are analysed. The book "Digital Media and Society: Convenient Regulators of Society, Politics and Economics" aims to become an essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of Social Sciences generally without a special scientific or technical background, who aim to explore and potentially seek motivation for more in depth investigation of one (or more) of the following dynamically evolving areas, such as the realm of digital media, the Internet, social media, the public sphere, the mobile culture, Internet Politics and Digital Marketing.

description:
The book offers an introduction to the basic concepts and methods of Contrastive Linguistics (CL), a rapidly developing branch of theoretical and applied Linguistics. CL is one of the fields that deal with the comparison between languages. CL compares a small number of languages (usually two to four) from a synchronic point of view and independently of their genetic relationship.
The first part of the book introduces the basic concepts and the methodology of CL and presents the relationship between CL and both Historical – Comparative Linguistics and Language Typology. It also examines the differences between linguistic theories (generative and functionalist ones) about contrastive analysis and analyzes inter-linguistic comparison at every level of the language system (phonetics/phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics), as well as pragmatics.
The second part of the book focuses on a specific contrastive analysis of linguistic data in four languages (Greek, Italian, French, German). In particular, the phenomena discussed are a) the definite article, in which syntax, semantics, and morphology are involved, and b) compounding, a morphological process with semantic dimensions.
Although the point of view of contrastive analysis is mainly synchronic, it also includes the diachronic dimension to give a full interpretation. Each chapter includes exercises on both the theory and its applications.

description: Karst is the term used to describe a unique type of landscape, which has a particular hydrology and includes characteristic surface and subsurface landforms. Karst landscape is created by the dissolution of karst rocks. Karst areas can be found around the world and many people live in them because they contribute to the economy of an area. The study of karst may offer to the understanding of karst environments, their fragility and their value for human development. This book examines karst environments, their significance and main problems. Each chapter is accompanied by theory comprehension questions and/or laboratory exercises. In the first chapter, the definitions concerning the science of karst, its spatial distribution and the karst landscape are presented. In the second chapter karst rocks and karst processes are described. The third chapter analyzes the surface and subsurface runoff of the karst regions. In the fourth chapter, the base level, and the depth of the karstification are examined. The fifth chapter deals with the small features of surface karst forms and specifically with karren. In the sixth chapter, the main surface karst macro-forms are recorded. The seventh chapter examines subsurface karst formations. In the eighth chapter, the main classifications of caves are presented. The ninth chapter deals with the relationship between climate and karst. The tenth chapter focuses on human activities in karst regions. The eleventh chapter analyzes karst natural hazards. Finally, in the twelfth chapter, the anthropogenic hazards influencing the surface and subsurface karst are described.

description: “Mathematics is Biology’s Next Microscope, Only Better; Biology is Mathematics’ Next Physics, Only Better” is the title of a paper by J. E. Cohen, that gives a particularly successful illustration of the impressive development of Mathematical Biology in the 21st century. Mathematics provides the appropriate means to deal with complex biological systems at various levels of organization and is thus extremely effective (also) in Biology. This book aims to present basic and more advanced methods of Differential Equations (Ordinary (ODE) and Partial (PDE)), Dynamical Systems and Applied Mathematics through applications in Biology. Elements of the following areas of Mathematical Biology are presented: Ecology, Epidemiology, Biochemical Kinetics and Diffusion. In the first part (Ecology), the following models are introduced and studied: exponential (continuous and discrete), logistic (without and with the Allee effect), multi-population (population interaction), Lotka-Volterra (basic, first and second variant of). In the second part (Epidemiology), dynamic epidemiological compartmental models are introduced and studied, and the SIR model (without and with demographic terms) is also studied. In the third part (Biochemical Kinetics), the basic elements of chemical reaction theory, the basic model of enzyme catalysis, the standard and the inverse quasi-steady state hypotheses, and various models of autocatalysis are introduced and studied. In the fourth part (Diffusion) the basic models (exponential and logistic) with a diffusion term and the concept of the pattern index are introduced and studied. The necessary mathematical background is presented and developed at the end of each chapter, after the study of the biological problem and includes: elements of the basic theory of Initial Value Problems (IVPs) for ODEs, discretization of IVPs, stability analysis (linearization, Lyapunov functions, periodic solutions of autonomous IVPs), bifurcation, limit cycles and Hopf bifurcation, basic Poincaré-Bendixson theory, introduction to the concept of non-dimensionalization, locally approximate solutions and their matching, Initial-Boundary Value Problems (IBVPs) for second-order PDEs, degenerate and standard IBVPs, maximum/minimum principle, Fourier series, Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problems, stationary solutions and their stability, the autonomous standard IBVP for the semilinear diffusion equation and the dependence of stationary solutions on parameters.

description:
The book Disability Studies and Inclusive Education outlines key approaches, perspectives, and issues on disability in the Greek context. It involves a paradigm shift, as disability takes a unique position, overlapping with humanities and social sciences in myriad ways.
Disability Studies is an area of academic study that examines social, political, cultural, and economic factors that define disability. Disability Studies challenge the view of disability as a deficit or defect that can be cured or treated.  Drawing on a range of interdisciplinary areas including sociology, history, cultural studies, education, and policy this book offers a new framework for thinking about disability in Greece.
The book consists of four chapters. Each main chapter has a concise introduction, key concepts, as well as suggestions for wider reading.
This book will introduce readers, undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, policymakers, and disabled people to the discipline of Disability Studies and Inclusive Education and enable them to engage critically with the field.

description: Environment is what surrounds us. Based on this general assumption, this textbook attempts an approach to environmental factors that either directly or indirectly affect the eye and vision. The concept of environment is just as complex as the concept of health. In fact, the definition of the environment has gone through many stages, mainly because of the different perspectives that is approached. The environment refers to everything that surrounds an element, object, or organism. In this way, the term "environment" covers anything that can directly affect the behavior as well as the health of living organisms, such as light, air, water, and other factors. According to Law No.1650/1986, the environment is defined as "the set of natural and man-made factors and elements that are in interaction and affect the ecological balance, the quality of life, the health of the inhabitants, the historical and cultural tradition and the aesthetic values». So, we will browse our environment, the daily environment of each of us, and we will try to identify the environmental factors that are harmful to the eye health and vision. We research, through the literature, if there are risks of environmental origin, even inside our home, from the moment our day begins to the end of it, whether they are cumulative or not, and what they can cause. We have created thematic units-chapters for better understanding, starting with what the environment is and what belongs to it, what are its effects on human health and by extension on the eye and vision. We study separately the indoor from the outdoor effects on human health and the eye, as well as the causes that cause inflammations, allergies, the effect of nutrition, radiation, all kinds of chemicals, GMOs and how these factors can affect the health of the eye.

description: The textbook with title: ‘Intrapartum Maternity Care: From theory to clinical practice’ has the main objective of enhancing the theoretical knowledge and clinical and communication skills of Midwifery students, and, within the context of lifelong learning, of all health professionals for issues surrounding childbirth. This textbook will add to the current literature on the provision of intrapartum maternity care. Numerous up-to-date data and evidence-based recommendations in accordance with the guidelines provided from international organisations and scientific authorities were utilised in the process of editing the textbook. The chapters are structured in such a way so as to promote and support the development of ‘critical thinking’ in the provision of maternity healthcare so that childbirthing is safe, effective and leads to a satisfactory birth experience. The textbook focuses on the communication skills that a midwife should possess and on the risk assessment that needs to be continuously performed in each phase of labour. Intrapartum maternal care represents the main core of knowledge and skills in Midwifery science that is required both for students and other healthcare professionals providing care at childbirth. This textbook contains 12 separate chapters. Initially, the role of the midwife upon admission of the parturient and the referral to the birthing suite is discussed. Next, the medication used in labour, cardiotocography, and non-pharmacological methods of pain relief are contemplated. A special chapter presents the natural (non-pharmacological) methods of labour augmentation. Abnormal presentations (breech presentation, occiput posterior position) and delivery of the second twin are discussed, whereas obstetrical emergencies such as shoulder dystocia, postpartum haemorrhage, and cord prolapse represent separate chapters. Finally, the textbook contains chapters on the issue of perineal care-episiotomy, vaginal birth after caesarean section (VBAC), and severe preeclampsia-eclampsia.

description: The book is divided into two parts. The first part presents the cooperatives that operate in Greece. Following the conceptual approach of the Social and Solidarity Economy and the governance of cooperatives, the dynamics of the groups and the characteristics that are critical factors for their smooth operation are analyzed. Emphasis is also placed on preventing and resolving conflicts, which are their two major problems together with economics. Governance models and human resources management strategies help to better understand the potential of these projects and the process of transforming them into sustainable collective actions. The second part presents practical questions as to how social enterprises operate. The development of good business plans is a crucial factor in their success. This perception is strengthened in the book by presenting both successful and failed examples from various areas of the Social and Solidarity Economy in Greece and abroad concerning their governance issues. The role of management in terms of total quality is also crucial for the effective progress of the cooperatives, especially those that lack resources. The author's choice to combine theoretical concepts with practical issues of governance and entrepreneurship helps to understand concepts that are necessary for people involved in Social, Economic, and Political Sciences. The topics of the book can also cover the needs of postgraduate students involved in this area.

description:
The book focuses on the international side of Human Resource Management (HRM) from three principal aspects: the Cross-Cultural Management view, the strategic view and the comparison between several HRM practices globally. Starting from Perlmutter’s three distinct approaches for staffing in multinational companies (ethnocentric, polycentric and geocentric), it presents the development of International Human Resource Management through the internationalization for firms. Early research focuses on multinationals that are mainly based on advanced economies, either in Europe, the States or Japan, while designating best practices in acquiring, staffing and managing human resources internationally is of primary importance. In recent years, since more and more studies involve multinational companies from developing economies, complex issues like cultural differences, new International Human Resource Management approaches, alternative ways of managing mergers and acquisitions, diversity management, come to the fore. We present the main characteristics of International Human Resource Management, studying the way people are managed internationally, and within multinational companies. The context within which national management systems and organizational practices develop play a central part, especially in terms of the cultural dimensions effect. Contrasting International HRM with its national version, we follow the challenges that multinational companies face, as well as the forces of globalization on national employment systems.
Taking into account recent academic research and international developments, the book covers contemporary issues like: the cross-border transfer of HRM practices, Strategic HRM, International assignments and recruitment, Expatriate development and repatriation, HRM in cross-border M&A, Global leaders development, International assessment of HR, Diversity Management globally, CSR through ethic HRM practices.

description: The book presents in detail the theory of Commutative Rings. First, the origins of Commutative Algebra are presented, and its connections to Number Theory, Algebraic Geometry and Invariant Theory are made. Next, the notion of the radical of an ideal as well as the extremely useful notion of localization with respect to a multiplicatively closed subset are given. Noetherian rings are defined, and Hilbert's Basis Theorem is proved. The notion of a primary decomposition is discussed. An introduction to monomial orderings and Groebner bases, a particularly important computational tool, is provided. For a ring R, the notion of an R-module is introduced, and a brief introduction to their Homological Algebra is given. The localization of R-modules is introduced as well, and properties of Noetherian and Artinian modules are considered. It is shown that every Artinian ring is Noetherian. The notion of integral ring extension is studied, with applications to number theory. Noether's Normalization Lemma and various forms of the equally fundamental Hilbert’s Nullstellensatz are proved. Krull’s dimension theory is presented. Hilbert’s and Hilbert-Samuel functions are defined and their connection with dimension theory are studied. Valuation rings and Dedekind integral domains are presented. An introduction to the theory of completion is given. Each chapter contains a section with related concepts to Algebraic Geometry while most of them have a section with related code in Macaulay2 Symbolic Algebra computing package. Moreover, each chapter contains many examples and unsolved exercises and the book is suitable for independent study in undergraduate and graduate level.

description: The Bibliographic Guide seeks to map the evolution of Greek reform thought during the first half of the 20th century and to identify its major trends. It consists of five chapters. The first provides an overview of modern Greek education between 1895 and 1950, and presents the key events and reforms of the era. The second chapter addresses the emergence and evolution of the New Education movement in Greece and inscribes it in the broader historical context. In addition, it identifies three distinct reform pedagogical currents and their relation to the language issue and the broader political processes that marked the contemporary Greek society. It presents the key pedagogical concepts, as developed in the context of New Education, as well as the way they are conceptually differentiated and appropriated by the three distinct manifestations of the Greek reform pedagogy. The next three chapters concentrate on liberal, conservative and socialist reform thought respectively. Each chapter is subdivided in sections that correspond to historical sub-periods and highlights their characteristics in terms of pedagogical positions and ideas. The material follows the historical succession and evolution of pedagogical ideas and delineates the social context that framed the reception and dissemination of the labour school principles. The primary and secondary sources presented in the Bibliographical Guide are indicative of the New Education currents, seeks to provide an informative picture of the Greek reform thought and to present key documentation of both the evolution of Greek reform thought during the first half of the 20th century and its distinct currents. The description of each bibliographical reference seeks to help readers to orient themselves in the research field and to evaluate the proposed material.

description:
This book attempts to interpret the material culture through the comprehension of the history and analysis of industrial design on one hand and the history of museum theories on the other. It investigates and designates the vicissitudes of the industrial everyday object’s identity as a result of its re-acquiring of meaning in an exhibitionary situation and the meaning of this procedure for this object’s contribution in the formation of identities of social subjects. The primary question therefore that this diatribe’s attempts to answer is whether and to what extent the industrial everyday object plays a determinant role in the formation of mainstream ideology and identity of social subjects in the course of the history of civilization, participating in the major narratives of modernity and the individual narratives of postmodernity.
It examines the object’s functional and value essence, the collecting practices and how the acts of choosing, classifying and arranging give meaning and are defined by the exhibitionary procedure. Explore the role and practices of National Museums at the time of their creation, as well as those of the International Exhibitions where the products of the Industrial Revolution were displayed as instruments for the formation of national identities, and the role the industrial design had in this process and the promotion of a “modern” lifestyle. Following this, the book marks the dialectic relationship between design and artistic creation and how the “common” object acquires new meaning as a “tool” for the re-definition of the work of art. Finally, it highlights the contemporary museum’s main features as these are shaped by the spread of consumerism and neo-liberal cultural policies, a museum not just as a place for education but also as a space for recreation and entertainment.

description: This book deals with work sports programs aimed at employees to increase physical activity and ultimately promote health. It analyzes ways and practices that can motivate employees to adopt healthy lifestyles, such as active commuting to and from work, increasing physical activity in free time, and improving eating habits. Such changes can bring about significant changes in the quality of life, increase life expectancy, and reduce costs of hospitalization and rehabilitation of injuries related to a sedentary lifestyle. At the same time, a lifelong change in the above habits can also motivate the children of workers to increase their physical activity, which many studies show is imperative. At the same time as the type of programs analyzed in the book, detailed reference is made to how they are implemented and applied in the work environment and outside it, as well as the tools for evaluating and redefining the programs' goals. Typical examples of intervention are given for each type of work, with the particularities it presents, and the appropriate exercise program for these population groups is proposed each time. Also, all the tools that a health and exercise specialist can use are presented in detail, as well as several good practices that can increase employees' participation in similar workplace actions. The students will acquire the appropriate knowledge to be able to propose each time both the personalized exercise program and to implement the necessary interventions to reduce the risk of injuries. It also elaborates on how modern cities can become more resident and visitor-friendly by making changes to the built environment to encourage active walking or cycling, bringing about changes in lifestyle and quality of life. Adopting lifelong habits such as walking and cycling can dramatically improve citizens' fitness and well-being and reduce the health risks of inactivity. The book presents all the interventions to make cities friendlier, and more pleasant to live in, to serve people and not stress them and make it difficult for them in everyday life. Conceptual elements and characteristics of the built environment that influence people's need for physical activity and living in more sustainable cities are also presented. The spaces that offer the conditions for physical activity are analyzed and the elements that make up the relationship between the built environment and physical activity are presented. The goal is always one. Cities should serve people and offer a better quality of life.

description: One of the ultimate goals of Robotics is the creation of intelligent systems (robots). These systems should have the ability to accept high-level descriptions of the tasks that they are asked to perform and perform them without further human intervention. High-level task descriptions specify what the user wants to do rather than how to do it. The progress that has been made in recent years towards intelligent systems has resulted in them being used to perform various tasks, such as waste management, space exploration, marine/undersea work, autonomous vehicles, medical applications etc. The development of the necessary technologies for the creation of intelligent systems that will be able to coexist with humans, cooperate with them but also with each other and generally share the same environment is a perspective which, in order to achieve it, many important problems must be solved. One of them is motion design, which is the central theme of this book. It can be formulated as follows: How can an intelligent system decide what moves to perform in order to move from an initial configuration to a final configuration? This capability is extremely necessary since, by definition, an intelligent system, in order to be able to perform the tasks assigned to it, must move into the real world. The minimum one would expect from an intelligent system is the ability to plan its own movements. This book consists of 9 chapters and each chapter of the book includes solved examples, exercises to solve and comprehension questions.

description: A significant part of dental science deals with the restoration or replacement of hard dental tissues lost due to various causes, in such a way as to restore the normal shape and size to the dental arch. Therefore, knowledge of the normal morphology of teeth is a prerequisite for those involved in dental restorative procedures (dentists and/or dental technicians) in order to achieve the desired outcome. The morphological and anatomical characteristics of each tooth individually, as well as collectively, play a significant role in both the proper function of the stomatognathic system and the aesthetics of the face. This specific book thoroughly describes all the morphological characteristics of natural teeth. The description is presented for each tooth separately, highlighting its unique features that distinguish it from others, either within its group or within the entire arch. Furthermore, a comparative evaluation is made between teeth of the same group, emphasizing the differences between right and left hemiarch teeth, upper and lower jaw teeth, and differences between deciduous and permanent teeth. Additionally, anatomical elements of the oral cavity are provided, as well as elements of tooth occlusion, which are considered essential for the correct and easier learning of tooth morphology and function. The entirety of the description is accompanied by numerous diagrams and images, as visualizing the morphological elements of teeth is a very effective way to learn their morphology.

description:
In this textbook, the most common hematological entities in pediatric hematology are analyzed. It is divided into four parts. Each part includes the clinical disorders corresponding to the cellular components of blood (red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets), and the last part analyzes coagulation disorders. It is structured with questions and answers aimed at addressing everyday clinical practice questions. Representative pediatric cases are analyzed using information from the patient's history, physical examination, and laboratory tests.
The first part (chapters 1-16) focuses on red blood cells. The indices of red blood cells are interpreted, and an evaluation of anemia is performed. Specifically, hemolytic anemias are studied, with representative examples being hereditary spherocytosis, anemias in neonates, hemoglobinopathies represented by beta-thalassemia, nutritional anemias, and finally, aplastic anemia. The principles of red blood cell and platelet transfusion are also studied.
The second part (chapters 17-24) deals with disorders of white blood cells. Neutropenia, leukocytosis, and variations in the types of white blood cells are analyzed. An evaluation of acute leukemias is performed, with acute lymphoblastic leukemia being a representative example. This chapter also studies lymphomas and the investigation of lymphadenopathy. Additionally, myeloproliferative and myelodysplastic syndromes are analyzed.
The third part (chapter 25) examines platelet disorders. Thrombocytopenias, thrombocytopathies, and thrombocytosis are studied.
The fourth and final part (chapter 26) investigates blood coagulation problems, particularly bleeding disorders and thrombosis.

description: This academic book is an attempt to collect and present, in a didactic context, the knowledge and experience of the authors within the framework of their professional and research work, with the aim that it will reach the audiences of their academic courses in the field of Artful Learning and Teaching. The theme of the book focuses on the teaching and learning utilization of artworks and on the significant advantages of the aesthetic experience in the development of critically thinking citizens, who participate consciously and creatively in the educational and social reality of the 21st century. The book consists of two sections. In the first section, the role of Visual Arts in the Greek Curriculum of primary education is explored, the process of artworks’ critical “reading” in terms of visual literacy is described and relevant teaching strategies are suggested. Special reference is made to Harvard’s Project “Artful Thinking” approach and thinking routines. Also, selection criteria and copyright issues of artworks related to the presentation of reliable digital art and cultural repositories, are discussed. In addition, the educational utilization of Applied Arts to create an authentic learning framework is mentioned. Special emphasis is given on Digital Storytelling as a modern art form, which is a dynamically developing teaching approach with wide educational application. The first section is concluded by highlighting the value of works of art in building a culture of inclusion in the contemporary school. In the second section, selected examples of artful teaching practices and lesson plans in the form of exercises and activities are presented, so that they can be used in the practical part of the course. The exercises draw on strategies and teaching tools of the Artful Thinking approach and focus on the thematic units explored in the first section. Overall, the academic book is the culmination of the writing team’s long engagement with the subject of integrating Arts in teaching practice. As the team of authors has gained significant experience, the time has come to share their ideas with the educational, student and academic community.

Material handling
Layout planning
Facilities design

description:
The layout is the correct arrangement of the machines within the industrial plant, similar to the representation of the skeleton of a human being.  Materials handling refers generally to all the internal movements of any type of material within the industrial plant, similar to the representation of the muscular system of a human being.  Consequently, it becomes obvious that the design priority in facilities has to be given to the plant layout, which is considered to be the skeleton of the whole. The materials handling system must be introduced upon its completion to complete the production process.
It has to be indicated that any malfunction in the correct arrangement of the machinery is not allowed, because any movement or changing of the position of any machine is a very difficult task.
There is a close relationship between plant layout and material handling. The materials handling technique will affect the plant layout and the factory building. A sound low-cost method can be designed and installed only if material handling has been considered an integral part of plant layouts.
 A well-designed arrangement of production equipment, the proper location of different departments, a logical sequence of operation within the department, and convenient location of store areas, tool cribs and similar activity centres are required for effective materials handling arrangement. The efficient and economical materials handling system can be designed and selected for installations only after the floor plan has been adequately organized.
In all types of plant layouts, provisions for the receiving and shipping of materials by various possible means (like trucks or trains, etc.) should be made. If it is necessary to move the materials by manually-operated or power-operated trucks, sufficient passage should be provided.
 If the building is multi-storied, lifts, elevators, and conveyors of different types must be utilized to enable efficient materials handling. The location of items in the storeroom should provide for minimum handling of materials to the point of issue, accessibility, and efficient space utilization.

description:
This e-book is chiefly addressed to undergraduate and postgraduate students and constitutes a holistic study of the first Latin pastoral collection (Vergil’s Eclogae) including a brief introductory section and a detailed examination of each Eclogue.
The Introduction (Chap. 1) begins with a brief but detailed review of the history of the Greek pastoral poetry, focusing mostly on the pastoral subjects and motifs to offer the reader a better understanding of the original concepts, which have been introduced with Vergil’s Eclogues. Then, it deals with the chronology of the collection of each Eclogue and concludes with the pastoral themes and motifs, which have been transferred into the Latin text to showcase the Vergilian originality. The educational material of each chapter (Chap. 2-5) is organised in terms of subject (viz. pastoral song contests, land confiscations in locus amoenus, love in locus amoenus, beyond the limits of the pastoral place), thus allowing the teacher to choose the Eclogue according to their syllabus. What is more, the readers may choose any poem of the collection which they think is appropriate in order to comprehend the pastoral genre. Every Eclogue begins with an introductory note containing the essential information, thereby providing the content of the poem, followed by the ancient text, the vocabulary, the translation and the commentary covering a great number and wide range of subjects (literary sources, intertextuality, mythology, humour, style, language, metre etc.); it ends with an extensive bibliography for further reading and study.
This e-book concludes with a last subchapter (Addendum) which deals with the metre of the pastoral poetry (i.e., dactylic hexameter), briefly presenting the structure of the dactylic hexameter, while also providing further bibliography where the reader can find additional examples and ancient texts for practice.

Spatial planning

keywords: Coastal Zones Planning and Islands Planning

description: The aim of the proposed e-book, which is adapted to the educational needs of undergraduate students, is to highlight spatial planning issues, with an emphasis on the following thematic sections: Theoretical, conceptual and methodological issues related to the principal approaches for the development and planning of the ex-urban, mainly space, are examined. Emphasis is placed on the role of Geography in spatial planning. Next, a brief historical review of the main periods is presented and the institutional arrangements and organizational structures that determined spatial planning in Greece are developed. Planning is examined as a process of regulating spatial issues and the practice of spatial planning in Greece is analyzed. The analysis is developed at national, regional and local level. Finally, the section presents Maritime Spatial Planning, as the new dimension, that must be registered in the spatial planning system, and investigates the way in which it will be integrated into the spatial planning system, as it is organized. The planning of special cases, which are a result of the "particular" geography of our country, and concern the coastal zones, islands and the mountainous areas, as well as issues of planning and management of the landscape, are examined.

description: This textbook is an introduction to performance art through activities and projects in the studio, which are framed not only by characteristic instances in the history of the medium itself but also by contemporary, interdisciplinary theoretical debates around performance art. The textbook begins with the introduction of the tools of performance studio practice and the basic terminology linked to it, as well as its early history. Key elements of performance, including the body, objects, the audience, the (public) space and the public sphere are approached through thematic and conceptual associations, with references to autobiography, gender, the augmented body, the everyday, interventions and the natural landscape. The textbook, also, explores different approaches to performance, such as performance for camera, durational performance, participatory performance and performative interventions. The chapters are organized around the systematic examination of key elements of performance art practice, as well as the analysis of key ideas and issues that have been recorded as dominant or recurrent in the theoretical discourse on performance. The case studies analysed in each chapter are accompanied by reflective questions/topics for discussion. A wide range of activities and projects are offered, which aim to enhance skills, promote experimentation and encourage an experiential understanding of theory, history and concepts related to performance art. The book is addressed to students of the Departments of Fine and Applied Arts, Digital and Performing Arts, Culture and Creative Media and Industries, and Theatre Studies.

description:
Beyond their entertainment value, digital games have evolved into media of expression, the transmission of messages and ideas, educational tools, sources of inspiration and learning, cultural artefacts, and hubs for the development of cultural content. The present textbook captures some aspects of games that shape the gaming experience and the gaming culture(s). Digital games are situated within a matrix of factors relevant to learning. Their relationship with these factors and their social and cultural context is further explored. Examples of games, practices, and processes from the broader field of digital games are presented, including commercial, entertainment, and serious games. The textbook is divided into 12 chapters, which often intersect and connect, as many topics can span multiple thematic areas.
The chapter structure follows a gradual progression of conceptual complexity, starting with the definition of basic concepts and the taxonomies of games, and progressing to more complex topics such as the expression of ideas, values, and messages conveyed via digital games, skills supported, digital game literacy, design, development and evaluation, and perceptions regarding issues of addiction and aggressive behaviour. However, linear reading of the textbook is not necessary; readers may choose the order and the chapter they wish to engage with and refer to previous or subsequent chapters for clarifications on concepts that may be unclear. Each chapter is accompanied by indicative activities or topics for reflection and discussion. Additionally, the textbook is accompanied by supplementary material, such as resources and further analyses, available on the Digital Games and Learning website (Kallipos Handbook + Supplementary Material) https://eclass.uoa.gr/courses/ECD533/.

description: The Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea are parts of the same marine system, although until recently they have been studied rather separately mainly for geopolitical reasons. Based on a synthesis of existing information, this monograph presents the main physico-geographical features of their marine and coastal sectors (including their geological evolution), the prevailing oceanographic conditions, as well as the pressures (natural and anthropogenic) on this integrated marine ecosystem. Through the scientific knowledge provided, with this monograph we hope to contribute also to the design and implementation of effective management plans to address any negative impacts due to human activities and climate change, with a view to the long-term sustainability of the Mediterranean-Black Sea marine ecosystem.

description: The book is addressed to students of Civil Engineering departments of universities offering a complete guide in one of the most important scientific fields of transport planning, and transport demand forecasting. The book provides an overview and classification of all methods and models, which are widely used in all steps of the 4-step transport model (Trip generation, Trip distribution, Modal split, and Traffic assignment), and presents numerous applications and examples of the methods and models. The book has been structured and organized in such a way that follows the teaching process and content of the courses related to and especially the course ‘Transport Planning’, which is one of the basic courses of the transportation direction of the Civil Engineering departments. First, the theoretical background is provided to familiarize the students with transport planning, its role, and the stages of its implementation; transport demand forecasting, its four steps, necessity, and basic notions; and demand (elasticity) and its characteristics. Then, the data used by the forecasting methods are presented, along with the types of surveys used for their collection. The main part of the book follows, which includes a detailed description of the methods and models mostly used for forecasting transport demand. The book ends with the presentation of applications of the methods for each step of the transport model and an integrated application covering all four steps. Moreover, the book offers additional knowledge for a better understanding of every step of the transport model, such as factors affecting commuters’ choices, network theory, use of big data, as well as guidelines for the use of Excel in the application of one of the most important methods, the linear regression.

description: This manual presents a new approach to plant breeding based on the inviolable rule of plant selection in the absence of competition. The new methodology is analyzed comparatively with the typical one applied under competition between genotypes. The text includes four sections with individual chapters (general part, breeding principles, breeding methods, and special breeding issues). The general part focuses on the mode of plant reproduction and its implications for genetic evolution, the type of varieties and stages of cultivar development and commercialization, and the nature and expression of complex quantitative traits. Breeding principles include the creation and protection of genetic variability, factors that affect the genotype selection efficiency (particular emphasis is placed on the role of competition between individual plants in either the crop or breeding experiment), and experimental models used in plant breeding with a focus on the honeycomb breeding designs invented for selection in the absence of competition. Breeding methods include mass selection, pedigree selection, hybridization, backcrossing, polyploidy and generation of doubled haploid lines, applied in both regimes of allo-competition and nil-competition; in addition, the molecular approach to plant breeding is described. Finally, two special chapters refer to the need for continuous (non-stop) selection procedures, the first as a means of landrace diversity stewardship to upgrade and exploit their genetic variability, and the second concerning a conservation breeding to prolong longevity and commercial acceptance of elite cultivars.

description: Nowadays, as we are all aware of climate and environmental changes, it is of special importance to seek a perspective of the scale and rates through which features of the natural environment have been developed and have been changed in response to natural forces. These changes concern all these aspects of the Earth that humans are active. We know that since the appearance of humans, all these processes have often changed, rapidly and at different scales in various places. The science of Quaternary Geology was developed to investigate and understand these patterns and changes. By definition, Quaternary Geology is interdisciplinary and includes the subjects of geography, geomorphology, biology, physics and chemistry of the Earth, given the complexity of changes occurring in space and time. Although the Quaternary, constitutes only one "moment" (2.58 million years) of the Earth’s history, it is a particularly important period of time, since during this time humans have evolved. In addition to this it includes the present. The events of the Quaternary have been recorded in the sediments, ice sheets, landforms, and relief, with a greater degree of completeness and temporal resolution, compared to other periods of comparable duration. This book not only focuses on this most recent geological period, the Quaternary, but also on the natural processes that shaped the relief and their interaction with archaeology. It also analyzes the climatic changes during the Quaternary as well as their consequences on the relief, the glacial-interglacial periods, the sea level changes, the Holocene transgression, and the effects on the coastal environment. At the same time the modern sea level change trends are also discussed. The contribution of geomorphology to the understanding of relief evolution of the wider area of archaeological sites and the determination of the environmental-morphological changes in various geomorphological environments are analyzed. The interaction of prehistoric humans with the paleoenvironment is described, in terms of the evolution of the relief as a factor in the selection of archaeological sites, and also in terms of the anthropogenic effects on the evolution of the relief. At the same time greater emphasis is placed on new technologies than on research methods and techniques. Finally, characteristic case studies from the Greek and wider Mediterranean area are analyzed.
