description: EU-funded studies on the impact of the Structural Funds often evaluate specific investment projects or programmes, while academic research focuses on the long-term effects, usually by measuring their impact on economic growth. However, in the end many questions still remain unanswered. Undoubtedly, in relatively well-documented analyses of the impact of the Structural Funds on growth, the impact is very positive on social and institutional capital: through programming, partnership, monitoring, evaluation, control and requirements or through specific programmes, the Structural Funds contribute to improving efficiency in the Greek public administration. However, there are unexplored negative externalities. This book fills this gap. Adopting the political economy approach to the impact of aid, it shows that the Structural Funds can be seen as externalities rather than the net result of productive activity within the country. A constant flow of 'easy money' is often a perfect way to maintain an inefficient or simply poor governance structure. Regional authorities relying almost exclusively on these external inflows for infrastructure projects have no incentive to seek better ways to increase funding for development projects. As foreign aid, the Structural Funds may end up supporting bloated bureaucracies, paternalistic structures and patronage networks. Finally, the Structural Funds have a serious impact on the motivation of workers.

description:
Transplantation is one of the greatest medical achievements of the 20th century, and nowadays it has evolved to a technologically advanced medical procedure that significantly improves the quality of life and the life expectancy of the chronically ill patient. Starting from the historical review of transplantation, the aim of this textbook is to communicate to young physicians not only the process, but also the evolution, the importance and the necessity of transplantation. A necessary condition for transplants is the donation of organs, as well as the understanding and the acceptance of the donation procedure. There are regulatory frameworks governing transplantation, which are country-specific but all are operating according to international standards. Topics that will be analyzed are: bioethical issues, medical criteria for the diagnosis of brain death, the legislative framework for donation as well as hematopoietic cell donor and tissue banks.
A necessary condition for transplantation is the close cooperation of members of a multidisciplinary team, consisting of several medical specialties. Students will be informed about the procedures for identifying and evaluating potential donors, as well as the need for thorough screening and pre-transplant evaluation of the prospective recipient. They will familiarise themselves with the basic knowledge of transplant immunology, as well as the current immunosuppressive protocols. The textbook aims to bring medical students closer to transplantation. It roughly describes the surgical procedure of organ transplantation, the potential short-term and long-term medical complications of the recipient and the allograft failure over time. It offers the opportunity to learn about the donation process as well as the indications and the results of hematopoietic cell transplantation. The primary objective of the course is for the multifaceted process of transplantation to be understood and thoroughly studied. However, the need to strengthen the idea of donation and to create social awareness about the value of donation, starting with young health scientists, is also of paramount importance.

description:
The content of this book constitutes a unified presentation of concepts, methods, and results from Ordinary Differential Equations, Complex Functions, and Fourier Transformations, within which general frameworks are formulated, interpreted, and analyzed in various significant applications in the natural and technological sciences, as well as in computer science.
The book is divided into three parts: I. Ordinary Differential Equations, II. Complex Functions, and III. Series and Fourier Transformations. Ordinary Differential Equations represent an extensive field in both pure and applied mathematics, focusing on the study of existence and uniqueness of solutions in pure mathematics and emphasizing computational methodologies in applied mathematics. Differential Equations also play a crucial role in mathematical modeling of physical, technological, and biological processes. The theory of Complex Functions is one of the most fascinating areas of mathematics. Many of the most powerful techniques used to formulate and study applications of mathematics in other sciences are based on the theory of Complex Functions. One of the purposes of the book is to present a wide range of applications and to comprehensively process techniques of Complex Functions that are used for their modeling. The concept of the Fourier Transformation consists of an integral representation of functions and is an extension of the representation of functions with the help of Fourier series. Fourier Transformations have many applications in the natural sciences and technology and are practically used for the transformation of functions between the fields of time or space and the field of frequencies.

description: This book discusses and proposes ways in which concepts, methods and theories from cultural and media studies enrich principles and practices in the design of content and user interfaces in multimedia desktop, virtual and mixed reality applications. At the core of this cultural-communicative approach are the practices by which meanings are produced in the course of a communication process. These practices are discussed in terms of data creation, narrative development, information formatting and human-computer interaction. The centrality of meaning-making in the creation of multimedia content and user interfaces highlights not only the cognitive processes but mainly the whole active engagement with an event, which brings together perceptions, thoughts and actions.

description: The purpose of the book is the introduction of the reader to the compiler construction technology. The book reinforces the acquirement of knowledge through the development experience. Contrary to other books, which are available in Greek and mostly focus on theoretical background, in this book the theoretical background is the vehicle and the development is the motivation and the guide. The structure of this book follows the phases of the compiler construction development. These phases are: lexical analysis, syntax analysis, intermediate code generation, symbol table construction and final code generation. Chapters for each phase, as well as chapters for formal grammars, code optimization and compiler development tools are incorporated. An educational programming language is defined, for which a fully functional compiler is implemented, which generates machine code starting from a source program. This educational programming language resembles to the C programming language. It is simpler than C, both in programming and data structures. Despite its limited programming capabilities, it supports most familiar programming structures, like "while" and "if-else", as well as some custom ones, the compilation of which is of special interest. It also supports functions and procedures, passing parameters by value and by reference, recursive functions and nesting functions of procedure.

description: A hydropower plant is quite complicated, consisting mainly of the following components: reservoir, dam, and specific hydropower installations. The first chapter of the present book refers to the reservoirs. The dimensioning of both flood mitigation and storage reservoirs is emphasized. The dimensioning is regarding the reservoir capacity, as well as the safety systems, namely the flood spillway and the bottom outlet of the corresponding dam. Further, optimization methods are developed, which are divided into analytical (linear and dynamic programming) and simulation methods. Optimization concerns the maximization of the economic profit due to the water disposition to the users or the minimization of the material loss due to floods. Apart from that, estimation methods of water evaporation, thermal stratification and water quality of the reservoirs are given. Finally, the reservoir sedimentation problem is investigated and solution techniques are presented. The second chapter of this book concerns the design and construction of earth-fill and rock-fill dams. More specifically, the geotechnical investigation required and the proper construction materials are addressed. The necessary or alternative measures for the improvement of the foundation formation are outlined. Issues regarding the design and construction of filters and drains, as well as the water flow through the earth-fill dams are also covered in the second chapter. At this point, the dam stability analysis and the face sealings from reinforced concrete and asphaltic concrete are described. Finally, the instrumentation for the monitoring of the earth-fill and rock-fill dam behaviour concludes the second chapter. The third chapter of the book is dedicated to the concrete dams. The forces acting on the concrete dams are described and the corresponding formulas are written. The static stability analysis of the gravity, arch and buttress dams is also described. Finally, the flood spillways, as well as the stilling basins downstream of the dams are investigated from constructive and hydraulic points of view. The fourth chapter of the book begins with generalities about hydropower plants. The investigated specific installations of the hydropower plants include the surge chamber, the fall pipeline, where the phenomenon of hydraulic shock takes place, the spiral housing, the turbine and the turbine draft tube. The investigation of the above installations aims at their dimensioning.

description:
According to a common view, what is important in art is emotion. Emotion should refer, on the one hand, to the artist and, on the other hand, to the effect of his work on the receivers.
In our culture, however, the arts communicate through convention, and emotion becomes part of the structure. Emotion is constructed in literature and other arts with words and/or embodied modes of expression—that is, within artistic languages. These invite responses from a reader or a spectator or a listener, although artistic creation and its reception varies considerably between art forms. A written text that engages a reader’s subjective feeling and imagination is quite different to that of a music event bringing together a large listening audience—or a dancing one. So, an artwork itself can ‘embody’ emotion.
This study aims to present ways of articulation of the emotional power of art music, painting and opera in our culture using theories and examples.
The first chapter presents and analyses ways through which we perceive the arts, especially music, to communicate with emotion.
The second chapter aims to present aesthetic theories and works which favored the emotional power of music and painting (movements of baroque, romanticism and expressionism).
The aim of the third chapter is to offer cultural readings in relation to the two opposing poles of emotions as they appear in opera, namely, the emotions of love, especially in the era of them reaching a climax (romantic era), and those in relation to human conflict (war).

description: Stereotactic and Functional Neurosurgery is the most evolving part of Neurosurgery. It is directly related to the specialties of Neurology, Radiology, Radiotherapy and Psychiatry and it includes the treatment of a wide range of disorders of the Central and Peripheral Nervous System. Neurosurgical intervention concerns the restoration of malfunctioning neural circuits of the brain or the spinal cord. Its applications cover a wide range of pathological conditions, such as deep brain stimulation for movement disorders (essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, dystonia), chronic pain (neuralgia, neuropathic pain), mental disorders (pharmacoresistant depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder), treatment of spasticity after traumatic brain injury or multiple sclerosis. Furthermore, it has a role in the treatment of medically intractable epilepsy. Stereotactic biopsy is a precise method of sampling almost all areas of the brain through imaging guidance. In addition, stereotactic radiosurgery (γ-knife, cyberknife) is rapidly evolving for the non-invasive treatment of diseases, beyond intracranial tumours (acoustic neuromas, meningiomas), such as Parkinson's disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, vascular disorders and trigeminal neuralgia.

description:
This e-book is a laboratory guide that aims to meet the needs of students attending courses in Artificial Intelligence, Logic Programming or other courses of similar content. It contains 13 extensive lab exercises for learning the Prolog programming language with applications in Artificial Intelligence, problem solving, searching, constraint satisfaction, and game playing.

The exercises are grouped into two parts. In the first part, exercises 1 through 7 focus on learning the Prolog language. In the second part, exercises 8 to 13 concern applications of Prolog to Artificial Intelligence problems.

Each chapter contains separate sections with the presentation of the exercise, an indicative solution, a detailed explanation with the reasoning behind the solution, observations on the solution and, where applicable, alternative solutions. The exercises are of increasing complexity. They start with simple questions in the Prolog knowledge base and work their way up to sophisticated algorithms that solve more complex problems. In the first 8 chapters, each exercise is preceded by a background section summarizing the elements of Prolog theory that the reader needs to know in order to solve the exercise. This lab guide assumes that the reader is already familiar with the basic theory of Logic Programming and Artificial Intelligence, so it does not attempt to repeat elements of the theory, but only briefly covers elements of the Prolog language in the background section of the initial exercises, so that the guide should be as self-contained as possible.

description: The book includes special topics of nonlinear dynamical systems in continuous and discrete time and applications. Its aim is to enrich the Greek literature in dynamical systems with more specialized topics. The book is divided into five sections. The first section includes a detailed introduction to the theory of dynamical systems that allows even a non-specialist reader to proceed with the study and understand the topics covered in the book. The second section deals with regular and chaotic attractors, both those associated with equilibrium points and those not associated with any unstable equilibrium point and called hidden. It also includes the essential tools for detecting chaotic behaviour, such as the Melnikov theory and various numerical indices, such as Lyapunov exponents, the SALI method and the GALI method. The third section deals with Hamiltonian systems, integrable and non-integrable. Various theorems, such as the KAM Theorem and the Poincare Birkhoff theorem, and different non-integrability criteria and theorems are also presented. The fourth section includes discrete systems (maps) in one or more dimensions, as well as symbolic dynamics. In this section, the basic concepts are developed, various theorems with which the discrete systems are studied, and the idea of fractal sets and the characteristic Julia and Mandelbrot set. The last fifth section includes chapters with applications such as Targeted Energy Transfer in coupled linear and nonlinear oscillator systems, epidemiology and Josephson Junctions.

description: Until recently, quantitative sample surveys were mainly conducted through three data collection techniques: interviews conducted through face-to-face interviewer-respondent communication, interviews conducted through interviewer-respondent telephone communication via landline telephones, and questionnaires sent by mail. Encouraging the respondent to participate in the research process (recruitment) was also done in the same way: by face-to-face interviewer-respondent communication, by telephone interviewer-respondent communication and by using an awareness and information invitation sent by mail together with the questionnaire respectively. In all the above cases, responses were recorded on a paper questionnaire and case management was done on paper contact forms. With the development of technology, a new dimension in data collection methods, 'computerisation', is now being introduced. This concerns the use of digital questionnaires and the use of a digital case management system. In addition, two new means of communication are being introduced: the Internet and the mobile phone. Online surveys, which are self-completed and self-administered, are now carried out via the Internet. On the other hand, telephone surveys now have to include mobile phones, as the use of landline telephones is declining. The concept of 'data collection method' is becoming more complex, since, in addition to the collection techniques, it includes the dimension of recruitment of the respondent and the dimension of computerisation. With the technological explosion of recent years, the social scientist now has in his toolbox more and more tools, digital mainly, to carry out data collection but also the recruitment of the interviewees and the control of the interviewers. At the same time, however, they must know how to use them effectively, using appropriate methodological procedures, and coordinate workflows, systems, respondents and interviewers. This book aims to introduce the reader to these new challenges with primary survey-based data collection using Limesurvey and SPSS software.

description:
Because we deal with human behaviour every day, we tend to think that we already know what is true in psychology. All too often, we are tempted to “buy” commonsense beliefs. These beliefs, however, are often proven to be wrong. Because common sense is problematic, psychologists focus their attention on scientific observation, which is based on gathering empirical evidence. But unlike our everyday experiences, scientific observation is systematic and carefully planned.
Psychology's greatest strength is that it uses scientific observation to systematically answer questions about behaviour. The careful recording of information is at the core of all sciences. The scientific method is a form of critical thinking based on careful data collection, precise measurement, analytical definition, controlled observation, and repeatability of findings.
A course on the scientific method and experimental design in Psychology is capable of enriching critical thinking skills, but it is the practical application of knowledge that will lead to the consolidation of skills acquired in the classroom. The goal of this book is to highlight the knowledge gained and offer practical learning exercises—in and out of the classroom—to continually enhance scientific thinking and experimental design in Psychology. This textbook will encourage the student to engage in a variety of critical thinking activities, thus, making learning more active. It will also be a useful tool for the professor, enhancing the education process. Such a laboratory manual is currently not available in the Greek market and, therefore, it is considered useful to be accessible to all students interested in practicing the scientific method.

description: This book covers the field of Space Physics, including some essential elements of Solar and Plasma Physics. Thus it complements the available academic books, as until recently there was no Space Physics book available in Greek. This book is divided into three parts. The first part is an introduction to Plasma Physics, dealing with basic plasma concepts such as frequency, gyroradius and electromagnetic shielding, while a detailed description of the motion of charged particles in electromagnetic fields, the kinetic theory and the magnetohydrodynamic approximation of plasma as a set of charged particles follow, as well as the waves generated in plasma and especially the waves generated in a planetary magnetosphere. The second part is the main part of Space Physics. Beginning with a description of the Sun and the solar wind as drivers of geospace disturbances, it continues with a detailed description of geospace as a set of trapped charged particle populations interacting with magnetic fields and various current systems within the Earth's magnetosphere, while also detailing the conditions that lead to disturbances of the system causing its extremely high variability. This section concludes with a description of the magnetospheres of the two largest planets in our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn. The third part is an introduction to Space Weather and space technology. It begins by describing basic techniques for measuring particles and electromagnetic fields in space, characteristics of space systems, and the basic principles of rocket launch. Finally, the reader has a first acquaintance with the applied part of Space Physics, i.e. space weather and its effects both on terrestrial and space technological infrastructures and on humans themselves, highlighting the need for timely and accurate predictions of geospace dynamics.

description: From the first appearance of the rules of international law, their mission was to regulate the functioning of the international community. Today, the examination of the conformity of international law to a system of social values that are rather commonly accepted (international ethics) and its development towards integration are fundamental issues of contemporary reflection on international relations and naturally have a strong influence on legal science. Thus, the common values on which international relations are founded are adopted as the object of analysis, but different positions on their use are invoked: either to explain the basis of international law, or to describe objectively the state of international relations and the impact of this value system on law, or finally to trace trends in the development of international law in the light of these values. The need to go beyond the classical views of international law leads us to a first consideration, namely whether modern (modernist) approaches to international law are distinguished by their completeness and accuracy. The questioning of a doctrinal view does not automatically point to a sharp innovation but possibly to the production of a new doctrine.

description: The book consists of three parts which answer the fundamental questions of this specific scientific field: a) What is the theory behind a simulation? b) How do we implement a simulator? c) How do we use the simulations and the results they give us? The first part of the book (Chapters 1 and 2) "builds" the necessary theoretical background for designing and implementing simulation studies. The second part of the book (chapters 3-8) studies the core of this scientific field which is no other than the implementation of simulators itself. We study 24 short programs written in C++ and 13 simulator implementations in the C++ language and the JaamSim software of JaamSim Software Inc. (https://jaamsim.com/). The simulators concern, among others, production, inventory, service and queuing systems. All applications are freely available to readers who may cite this book as a bibliographical source (see licensing page at the beginning of the book). The third part of the book (Chapters 9 and 10) addresses the topics that come after a simulator implementation. In chapter 9 we study how to set up/run simulation experiments and how to analyze the numerical results. In chapter 10 we discuss key issues related to optimization in simulation applications.

description: The textbook focuses on the concept of the recontextualizing of the artistic work via its creative modification and its integration into new contexts. It mainly examines the method of modification as applied to the illustrated narratives of comics from the modernist period onwards. Thus, this method is presented using the multiplying effect resulting from the coexistence of the word and the image in order to create new narratives (metanarratives, metafictions, etc.). Concepts that are particularly widespread in modern, and especially contemporary art, are analysed and described in relation to the transfer of a work into new contexts, such as appropriation, revision, adaptation, intersemiotic translation, etc. Not only this but also, terms describing the ways in which images are associated, such as interpictoriality, are explained with a wealth of examples. To this end, terminology and methods of analysing the relationship between 'texts' in the broad sense (intertextuality - Kristeva, metatextuality, hypertextuality, etc. - Genette) are used in an attempt to identify the possibility of extending them with appropriate adaptations to the field of images, but also theories - critiques of postmodern art and its function that have been formulated both by thinkers who are negative to postmodernism (e.g. Jameson, Baudrillard, etc.) and by its supporters (e.g. Hutcheon, Rose etc.). In an attempt to clarify the confusing terminology, concepts such as the Droste Effect, encapsulation, irony, parody, farce, grotesque, homage, etc. are presented and developed through examples and their possible relationship with humour and defamiliarization (association, transposition, exaggeration, transformation, etc. - Klein). Finally, an attempt is made to provide a historical interpretation of the practice of recontextualizing from its beginnings in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (editorial cartoons, Little Nemo, Krazy Kat, etc.) to its generalized use in the post-war period by MAD magazine, its politicisation in the Underground years and its complex forms and multiple dimensions in contemporary alternative comics (Art Brut, Art Ops, Army @Love, Crossed, Asterix, etc)through the recontextualization of iconic artworks by artists such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo, David, Goya, Hokusai, Manet, Whistler, Munch, Duchamp, Malevich, Dali, Picasso, Magritte, Hopper, Wood, Escher, etc.

description: The book examines all forms of transnational state aid (bilateral and multilateral) from the perspective of both donor and recipient states (mainly countries in Africa, the Arab World and South and South-East Asia). It also analyses the less-studied transnational private aid, presenting the roles of international NGOs (Médecins Sans Frontières, World Vision, Caritas, CARE, OXFAM, ACTIONAID etc.), large private charitable foundations (Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Ford Foundation, Carnegie Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, etc.) as well as migrants’ remittances which are considered by the World Bank and other international organisations as important forms of assistance. The book's chapters examine the complex motives of donors (self-interested or altruistic) and present debates on aid effectiveness with reference to both the preconditions for giving aid (such as economic and political conditionalities) and the findings of major empirical studies. The role of multilateral institutions such as the European Union, the World Bank and regional development banks is also examined. Finally, a separate chapter critically presents the history of Greek development assistance (from Greece’s contribution to the reconstruction of Western Balkans in the 1990s to the refugee crisis of 2015-6).

description: The book "Shipyards: Rise _ Reuse" is an interdisciplinary project, which presents different aspects of the shipbuilding industry. The theme of the rise and reuse of shipyards is related to large technical projects of landscape transformation, technological inventions but also historical, social and cultural issues. This book presents the facilities and the shipbuilding processes of historic as well as modern operational shipyards, echoing the culture and innovation of each era. It explores a panorama of places at the interface between land and water, where human ingenuity has exploited the topographical peculiarities to shape the diverse coastline dominated by slipways, iconic cranes, graving docks with steel gates, impressive workshops and warehouse buildings. We believe that every technical construction, like a shipbuilding infrastructure, a factory, a machine or a ship etc., carries values that must be passed on to the future. The book is divided into four chapters: Maritime Culture, Historical Shipyards, Modern Shipyards, Reuse of Shipyards. The text highlights timeless needs but also construction innovations with influences in the wider technical, cultural and social field. It describes issues relevant to a shipyard’s arrangement, diversity of infrastructure, variety of shipbuilding processes and ceremonies. It develops questioning on the types of interventions in abandoned shipyards and their reintegration into modern life, opening the horizons to the option of giving another use to old industrial facilities.

description:
The digital condition has changed the nature of textual scholarship at the most fundamental level and has affected  the way editors and scholars work and the research questions they attempt to answer. The volume Digital Scholarly Editing: theories and practices —edited by Matthew James Driscoll & Elena Pierazzo— concerns the field of "textual editing" and in particular "digital scholarly editing", i.e. scholarly digital editions of historical textual sources and documents. Drawing together the work of established and emerging researchers, it offers a sustained reflection on the practices involved in producing, editing and reading digital scholarly editions—and the theories that underpin them.
The volume consists of two parts, which, as announced in the title, focus respectively on the Theory and Practice of digital scholarly editing. The main theoretical issues discussed are: a definition for digital scholarly editions; the changes that have occurred in the transition from print to digital; and the practices involved in the production, publishing and reading of digital scholarly editions. In terms of practice, the reader will find critical presentations of specific case-studies, as well as a discussion on specific methodological issues, such as the need to encode the critical apparatus or enrich the encoding schema for correspondence corpora.
This collection is essential reading for editors, scholars, students and readers who are invested in the future of textual scholarship and the digital humanities.

description: The book pursues a writing from many voices and from many languages, which address how literature and art are able to introduce tools and methods into theoretical research, as well as how material spatial (critical) practices allow possibilities of transferring writing, 'voices' and 'images' from texts to other places of meaning (as in visual micrographs). In this context, physical location becomes text in the processes of site-specific writing, which (the text) itself has many different specific sites that can become objects of processing. The artistic subject in the threshold position of "writer and reader" at the interface of an internal dialogue (with the self), as well as an external one (with the referential personal and collective "library"), in the context of the textual relations involved (both trans-poetic and intra-poetic), interposes creative inventive mechanisms, different methods or tactics of writing (potential literature, surrealistic, etc.), and also different techniques and modes of reading (e.g. imaginative, unconscious, of lost characters, poetic misreading, etc.) via archetypal patterns (such as labyrinth, rhizome, circular and linear routines, etc.). The entangled "image" of imagination and memory that arises in daydreaming meets the performative handmade realization of materiality in the constructional acts. The Appendix in this book presents the plastic spatiality of the text, in the times of the workshops in the laboratory, as embodied gestures with applied technologies on the page as so as performative praxis around the paper. The spatial micrographs (miniatures) correspond to the mirrored (heterotopic) constitution of personal microcosms.

description: The book consists of two parts. In Part A we review some basic concepts from linear algebra, as these form the basis of what we will be looking at. We study the numerical solution of a linear system with a square matrix using direct methods, which compute the exact solution in a predetermined number of steps, known in advance. We also study iterative methods, where we construct a sequence of vectors that converge to the solution of the linear system. In addition, we consider linear systems with a non-square matrix, where we search for vectors that minimise an appropriate function, like e.g., a residual. We then address the problem of locating the eigenvalues of a matrix and consider methods for solving nonlinear equations and systems. Part B deals with the numerical solution of initial value problems (I.V.P.) for first-order systems of ordinary differential equations. The simplest numerical method for solving the initial value problem (I.V.P.) is Euler's method. We also consider other single-step methods, and more generally the Runge-Kutta family of methods. We also study the linear multistep methods. Their implementation is economical, and this is why they appeared and were applied before the advent of computers. We study these methods' stability, consistency, accuracy, and order of convergence. The implicit Runge-Kutta methods are more demanding to implement than both explicit Runge-Kutta methods and multistep methods. However, they have higher accuracy and excellent stability properties. We also consider stiff linear differential equations. Some numerical methods are unstable and require a small step size to approximate well the exact solution of these problems. This stability property associated with the approximate solution of a method for a stiff differential equation problem is called absolute stability.

“Human Rights: A Comparative Approach” encompasses a diverse array of human rights topics, thereby offering an expansive examination of the subject matter. This open-source e-book has been meticulously crafted to serve as an invaluable resource for the purpose of human rights education, aligning with the fundamental principle that education itself is a fundamental human right. Drawing upon the extensive experience garnered by the two authors throughout their tenure in academia, including interactions with both undergraduate and postgraduate students, this publication stands as a testament to their commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of human rights. Moreover, the content of this book has been significantly shaped by the discerning insights and concerns expressed by their audience, demonstrating a mutual dedication to effective human rights pedagogy and the ongoing evolution of human rights through the transformative influence of education.
The book consists of three parts. In Part A five chapters explore the philosophical and constitutional foundations of human rights; the definition, categories and generations of human rights; the UN human rights protection system and the regional human rights mechanisms. In Part B, five chapters explore the progressive realization of human rights with regard to highly politicized matters such as abortion, the right to die, terrorism, cultural rights, LGBTQ+ rights and disability rights. In Part C, three chapters examine emerging issues and their interplay with human rights: creative media and new technologies; climate change; and femicides. The final chapter explores the concept of the rights of future generations. The book concludes with two chapters dedicated to putting together online tools for human rights education and lesson plans for human rights trainers.

"The Power of Selling" answers in questions such as: "What makes someone successful in sales?" "Is there a successful sales process?" and delivers an engaging and interactive experience for both instructor and students through three elements:
1. Content: In addition to the basic principles of sales, the effect of Sales 2.0 on each stage of the sales process is analyzed, including the effective way of utilizing interactive tools such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, blogs, etc.
2. Selling U: This is the last section of each chapter. It applies the concepts covered in each chapter to a student’s job search. What makes The Power of Selling different is that Selling U is integrated into every chapter, which make this text the ultimate guide to selling yourself.
3. The Power of Selling LinkedIn Group. This group was created for this book. It is a great tool for students and faculty alike to network, engage in discussions, ask questions and connect with the real world of sales.
The book begins by developing introductory elements for sales, branding, and marketing. Next, the concept of customer value, the power of relationship development and the tools available to the salesperson to achieve this relationship are presented. This is followed by the development of the concepts of ethics, communication, and consumer behavior during the sales process. Then the seven steps of the sales process are analyzed, namely prospecting and evaluation, pre-approach, approach, presentation, overcoming objections, close and follow-up. Finally, the job position of the salesperson is described, and reference is made to the "sale" of the own business.

description: The magic of poetic discourse, the inherent dynamics of language to reveal the essence of things is the source of inspiration and the starting point for an architectural design that serves human necessity and supports its aesthetic and meaningful realization. This book is a research project of interdisciplinary scope and multidisciplinary theoretical orientation. A study which examines the relationships, synergies and interactions, which arise or may arise, between the narrative immaterial space of literature and the material anthropogenic space, designed or not and vice-versa. The current research framework deals on the one hand with the possibility of deriving meaning and content from the literary prose representations of spaces (fictional and descriptive) during the process of architectural design, as an effective and valid analytical methodology, and on the other hand examines, by investigating particular cases, the creative challenge that the designed space can be read and experienced as a broad and diverse narrative. Since every architectural design is not simply a scientific mechanism for managing functional, technical and constructional issues, which can be resolved through scientific consideration, know-how and technology, but primarily constitutes a broad field of artistic creation and communication of meanings and ideas, in the context of which multiple myths and stories are mixed and individual and collective experiences are assembled into a whole. Concurrently, if the transformation of human experience, as proposed by the philosophy of technology, leads to a complex vision, which is based on multi-viewing and the subject's exposure to multiple screens under a constant barrage of stimuli, this particular study investigates the potential synergies between literary-fictional narrative, architectural design, and human habitation in light of interactive dynamic contents based on the use of current 3D digital scene synthesis and spatialization technologies.

description: This book aims to clarify the meaning of cross-border cooperation, focusing on the European model and examining the specific factors and processes that lead or, conversely, emerge as obstacles to the deepening of cross-border cooperation and cross-border integration. It begins by presenting the different interpretations attributed to borders, aiming to highlight their multilevel importance. It then focuses on the conceptual clarification of the terms of regional integration and regional governance, leading to the distinction between cross-border cooperation and cross-border integration. Subsequently, the interest shifts almost exclusively to the European context and the evolution of cross-border cooperation, emphasizing on the model of Euroregions, its evolution and the contribution of non-state actors to it. Further on, various examples, both with positive and not so positive results are presented showcasing in practice the great diversity that exists in cross-border cooperation models. The book endeavors to highlight, on the one hand the institutional evolution of euroregions, the motivations behind cooperation and the path towards integration (top-down or vice versa), and on the other hand the issues that can hardly be overcome in this effort. In conclusion, in the chapters of this handbook, a detailed analysis of theoretical approaches to cross-border cooperation takes place, in order for the reader to understand in depth the motives, obstacles, theoretical bases and European contribution to what is called "cross-border integration". At a second level, this book aims to evaluate the role of Civil Society in promoting and consolidating cross-border cooperation. Through various case studies, the obstacles and accelerators of cross-border cooperation become more understandable for the reader.

description:
The main scope of this textbook is to enhance readers' capabilities and skills in selecting the appropriate strategies for searching and retrieving information. Additionally, this textbook aims to familiarize its readers with the use of modern techniques and strategies for retrieving data and information from search engines, electronic resources, data banks, bibliographic databases and generally all kinds of databases. More specifically, this textbook initially (Introduction) sheds light on the concept of Information Retrieval Systems (IRS), their basic components and their utility. These include fundamental theoretical approaches to the scientific topic of Information Retrieval such as Boolean Algebra and Venn Diagrams (Chapter 1), as well as the theory behind the binary (Chapter 2) and vector (Chapter 3) information representation model adopted by an IRS. Subsequently, the methods and metrics of the evaluation of the IRSs are explained through practical examples (Chapter 4) such as the concepts of Precision, Recall, and their Harmonic Mean (F-Measure). At the same time, a set of search techniques and the related terminology that embraces them are presented through multiple examples, as well as the importance of the relevance feedback process of a query to IRSs (Chapter 5). In addition, examples are given regarding the utility and possibilities offered by modern search engine environments and how they rank their results (Chapter 6), while complementarily, the practical use of search engines in bibliographic/library databases is presented (Chapter 7). This textbook also aims to understand the importance of metadata and the Semantic Web within the evolution of Information Retrieval scientific topic in today's digital world. More specifically, readers can acquire basic knowledge such as the importance of describing metadata for web resources based on international standards, the linked data and their lifecycle, as well as the utility of ontologies and knowledge graphs in the describing process (Chapter 8).
Finally, this textbook offers the readers an integrated knowledge about the types of information resources, how to evaluate them, but also fundamental copyright issues that arise when the information is disseminated (Chapter 9).

description: This textbook presents contemporary theoretical and methodological approaches to the teaching of art, drawing on material from the  research of the author, that is based on arts-based educational research. Issues of identity of visual teachers are presented, and the phenomenon of convergence of Visual Arts and education is analyzed. Furthermore, the issue of teaching contemporary artistic practices is approached, and likewise, related, modern approaches to theory and practical teaching. Moreover, Ways of organizing didactic scenarios as well as the impact of new technologies on educational methodology are presented. Emphasis is given to the tool of visual notebooks, which offers reflection through the connection of speech and visual representation of meanings. Issues concerning the broader teaching of visual culture, as well as multimodality are analyzed. On the basis of the above, the question of visual literacy is approached. Furthermore, the teaching of art and visual culture is connected with critical pedagogy by examining and analyzing their inextricable connection. Finally, issues related to research methodology in art didactics are described, examining qualitative, mixed and arts-based methods, while the book concludes with a case study concerning my doctoral thesis that applied such an approach. The overall aim of this textbook is to make it clear to the students of the School of Fine Arts who are oriented to art education, that the identity of the visual artist and the teacher should be linked in a functional unity of hybrid character, which is also reflected in the proposed methodological approaches. Similarly, emphasis is placed on the inextricable relationship between language and image that are artificially separated in academic and especially in educational research. The final aim is to make it clear that the teaching of the image is also the teaching of thought, as Visual Education offers opportunities for sharpening perceptiveness, critical and reflective thinking, learning through personal exploration and discovery.

The sophists and Socrates

uk: Гуманітарні науки

description:
The book examines the role the so-called ‘sophists’ on the one hand and Socrates on the other played in fifth-century Athenian intellectual life. It draws attention to their various contributions to philosophy. Following a current interpretative trend, the authors choose to treat Socrates as one of the many fifth-century teachers of wisdom, whom the historiography of philosophy, following the distinction between philosophy and sophistry that Plato and Aristotle introduced, presented unfavourably.
The structure of the chapters is thematic. Based on the extant evidence, the authors aim to draw attention to the questions which are raised by the sophists and to their possibly original contribution to philosophy.
The first two chapters deal with the social and historical background that gave rise to the so-called Sophistic Movement in fifth-century Athens and discuss questions of nomenclature. Chapters three to eight focus on individual questions: Language and communication; the implementation of argumentative skills in politics and its implication for theorizing politics; the criticism of pleonexia or greed; the criticism of traditional religion; theorizing language; Protagorean relativism. Chapters eleven to thirteen (as well as the Appendix) shift the discussion to Socrates. Chapter eleven draws attention to elements of Socrates’ argumentative practice that justify treating him as one of them and explains the need for Plato and Xenophon to ‘apologise’ to their teacher. By contrast, chapter twelve focuses on some typically Socratic and rather ‘non-Sophistic’ ideas that could justify his distinction from the ‘other Sophists’ (or invite us to reconsider our categories). Lastly, chapter thirteen and the appendix focus on two aspects of Socratic practice (the quest for definition and the role of aporia in philosophical investigation) that explain Socrates’ undisputed importance in the philosophical canon.

description:
The present book is an introduction to Human Factors / Cognitive Ergonomics for interactive systems design, coupling applied theories of cognition with design methodology. The book came as a need to provide a comprehensive guide in user centered design destined primarily to students in information technology, engineering
and design disciplines. This work is the culmination of many years of experience in teaching Human Factors / Ergonomics together with relevant research and professional practice. Along with established and contemporary academic literature, this experience allowed the collection and development of a wide variety of examples and case studies of real-world systems from home appliances to large scale critical systems that the authors have found effective for transferring knowledge to students in a hands-on, experiential and dialectic manner. The readers can either use the book as an introductory guide to human cognition, a methodological companion for the user centered design process or as a collection of examples and case studies to enrich their repertoire.

description: The book refers to the preservation of historical photographs and their collections, describing the main research procedure in the field of their conservation, as an effort of a holistic approach to their protection. The preservation of historical photographs is not particularly widespread in Greece, but in recent years several museums have managed and implemented policies to protect them. The book is structured in twelve chapters, where it first introduces the reader to the historical evolution of the camera obscura and the role it played in each society. At the same time, important events that took place in Western societies are described and their effect on the discovery of the permanent preservation of the photographic image, which is called the "discovery of photography". Also mentioned are the experiments carried out by various inventors, physicists, painters, photographers, chemists, etc. who created different techniques for acquiring photographic images. Then, the various techniques are presented, which were used so that the black and white photographs of that time have a more colorful effect using the toning and hand-coloring procedure. Also described is the prevailing technique of silver bromide gelatin (late 19th century to the present) and the procedures required to obtain a photographic image. The various areas of the preservation and conservation of historical photographs are extensively mentioned, such as the causes of their damage, the documentation of their preservation state, the preventive conservation, the conservation treatments, as well as the ways of their storage and display. Then, an attempt is made to present the digital procedures for capturing and applying digital tools to read the image or restore it. Finally, the vulnerability of historical photographs and their collections to natural disasters is described, giving examples of disasters and their prevention, rescue, and protection practices implemented by governments and private initiatives in various countries affected by natural disasters.

description: Rangelands are among the most valuable natural resources of Greece, both in terms of area, and contribution to the national economy and culture as well, while the development prospects are substantial. As a result, the need for thorough consideration of these valuable ecosystems is essential. The science that deals with rangelands is called Rangeland Science (RS). The RS as applied science is divided into two major branches: the Rangeland Ecology, which offers the principles of ecological operation of rangeland ecosystems and Rangeland Management, which in light of ecological principles and the needs of modern man provides technical solutions for their sustainable management. Accordingly, this book hopes to cover both branches of RS. In particular, the first part analyzes the basic principles of Rangeland Ecology and the second develops the applied aspect of Rangeland Management. Emphasis is given to modern approaches in applied case studies.

Complex Analysis

de: Mathematik

en: Mathematics

uk: Математика, природничі науки

description: The present textbook contains, at least to a big extent, the standard topics of an introduction to Complex Analysis that are usually taught in a one-semester undergraduate course for Mathematics students.  In the first chapter the field of complex numbers as well as its representation by the complex plane is introduced as an extension of the field of the real numbers, and the related algebraic and geometric properties are presented. Also, the functions of integer power and the exponential function as well as their inverse functions are studied. In the second chapter the topology of the complex plane is introduced and the limits of sequences and functions are discussed as well as the continuity of the latter. The third chapter addresses the notion of complex differentiability (holomorphy) of a complex function and its relation to the differentiability of the corresponding vector field in the two-dimensional Euclidean space. Some basic facts about conformal mappings are also presented as well as the needed notions about curves in the plane. The subject of the fourth chapter are power series. Their holomorphy is proven and the notion of an analytic function as a function that can be expanded locally into a power series is introduced, implying thus its holomorphy. Also, the expansions into power series for the most fundamental functions are given. In the fifth chapter the contour (aka line or path) integrals of complex functions are studied and Cauchy’s integration theory is presented, culminating in the Representation Theorem of Cauchy-Taylor (in short: holomorphic functions are analytic) and its consequences. Finally, the sixth chapter is concerned with isolated singularities, Laurent series and residues and their applications.

Vector analysis

keywords: Real functions of several real variables

keywords: Vector-valued functions of several real variables

uk: Математика, природничі науки

description: The topic of the book is the development of classical theory in Mathematical Analysis concerning real and vector functions of several real variables. Its aim is to introduce and rigorously mathematically establish the relevant classical concepts, namely the continuity and differentiability of functions of multiple variables, the definition of the multiple integral according to Riemann, line and surface integrals of scalar and vector functions, and the proof of the classical theorems of multivariable integral calculus, specifically Green's, Stokes', and Gauss' theorems. The intended audience is primarily Mathematics students, but it also aspires to serve as a reference work on the discussed topics for any other interested party, be they Mathematicians, Physical Scientists, or Engineers, whether they are students, instructors, or researchers. The material is part of the mandatory curriculum for students in mathematics departments, schools of physical sciences, and engineering schools, and it presupposes knowledge of the related theory concerning real functions of a single real variable. It also forms the basis for courses in Differential Geometry, Partial Differential Equations, and Applied Mathematics, as well as the majority of theoretical courses in Physical or Engineering Sciences. The book can also be used as a reference work for more theoretical topics, and thus it can be useful for teaching at a more applied level, focusing more on application and interpretation of the relevant concepts and theorems from a geometric and physical perspective with numerous examples, exercises, and applications.

description: The book examines recent developments on the international political and economic scene in the context of the emergence of new states such as Brazil, India and China. It focuses on the ways in which a number of developing states have managed to significantly strengthen their positions on the global stage, leading to a de facto reorganization of the system of global governance. It focuses on the economic and political choices made by these states in recent decades and how the global environment has favoured their emergence. At the same time, it studies the functioning and especially the decision-making within a range of global governance institutions such as the UN, the WTO, the IMF, the World Bank as well as the G-7 and the more recent G-20. It covers the reasons why emerging powers have emerged as major actors in the global system in the current period, the role of economic crises on the international scene, the regional choices of these states and their outcomes, and the ways in which international organisations and institutions are being transformed by this new phenomenon.
