description: This book deals with the analysis of the concepts of Entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility and their connection with Development. Specifically, it is divided into three parts. In the first part the book provides the reader with an analysis of the concept of entrepreneurship as well as a connection of it with local, regional and sustainable development. A brief as well as essential description of the historical course of entrepreneurship is given. The contemporary form of entrepreneurship and the policies to strengthen it are described. In addition, the Greek business environment is outlined. The second part of the book provides a clear and detailed description of Corporate Social Responsibility historically and conceptually. Furthermore, the dimensions and methods of its implementation are presented as well as the International and European Initiatives in the form of Institutions and Organizations for the dissemination and implementation of CSR. In the third and last part of the book, case studies of companies that implement the concepts of CSR and Development in the best possible way are described. In the International, European and Greek business environment, companies are presented as pioneers in the formulation of policies and strategies that defend society and the environment while at the same time they ensure the economic development and further development of the business as well as the local community. There are also companies that are "negative" models, but thanks to the adoption of CSR and the understanding of the problem, they managed to regain the viability of the business and their positive image. The book "Entrepreneurship – Corporate Social Responsibility and Development" therefore provides a fairly comprehensible image both for undergraduate students who wish to familiarize themselves with the terms of entrepreneurship and CSR in relation to development and for entrepreneurs who are interested in undertaking CSR actions with the aim of their further "development".

description: Plant Breeding is the art and science of modifying the genetic material of plants for the benefit of mankind. It is a necessary but quite complex and demanding field, as it is responsible for the development of many crops on which we rely for food and fiber production. This laboratory manual provides students with the opportunity to learn the basic principles and techniques of plant breeding, covering a wide range of topics related to genetics of plant breeding, flower structure, selection methods, tissue culture, crossing techniques, mutational breeding, male sterility, molecular markers, pedigree selection, and seed production and certification. Ultimately, it will help them to understand the different methods of improvement, molecular marker-assisted improvement, its impact on food security and its role in a more sustainable agriculture. The proposed laboratory guide comes to fill the gap between the theoretical part of Plant Breeding and the laboratory part through well-designed exercises. The aim is for students to understand on the one hand the nature of the traits that crop species should have, and on the other hand the logic that should follow to create improved varieties that meet the societal needs.

description: The work with the title "Late Byzantine Hagiography" and the subtitle "Writers and texts" deals with the hagiographical production of the late Byzantine period. In the beginning there is an introduction with the most important events (political, military, economic, ecclesiastical, etc.) of the era. Moreover, emphasis is given on the importance of these years within the intellectual field (developments in Letters and Arts) and the reasons behind the development of hagiography. There are chapters dedicated to both the most important representatives of the hagiographical production of the period (for instance, Kyprios, Raoulaina, Stavrakios, Constantine Akropolites, Xanthopoulos, Metochites, Gregoras, Hyrtakenos, Kalothetos, Lazaropoulos, Kokkinos, Symeon of Thessaloniki, Makris) and the categories of texts (e.g., Collections of Miracles – Old or New Saints – Lives, Speeches, Praises, known and anonymous writers). Each chapter begins with important facts about the life and work of the writers and continues with characteristic excerpts from their hagiographical works with informative facts about persons or events. Linguistic interpretation or paraphrasing and various annotations come next. It is of our interest to highlight elements such as the characteristics of the persons who wrote hagiographical texts during this period (e.g., social status, education), the saints to whom the works are dedicated and the criteria for their selection, as well as the reasons for writing the texts, their structure, language, and style features. Emphasis is given to issues such as the preservation of the ancient Greek, the connection with rhetoric, the distinction of cities and regions with religious significance, the possibility of utilizing hagiography as a historical and archaeological source and the gathering of evidence for the scientific knowledge of the time. The last chapter summarizes the conclusions.

description:
The teaching and learning of the earth sciences constitute an interesting and distinct scientific field within the earth sciences, with unique characteristics. In recent years, the role of earth science education has been significantly elevated, primarily due to the need to promote and develop earth sciences in schools. This need arises from our collective responsibility to shape future citizens with a deep awareness of the growing problems facing our planet (environmental pollution, biodiversity loss, climate crisis etc.), while also fostering critical thinking, creativity and self-confidence in them so that they can effectively contribute to their resolution.
The book deals with the history and epistemology of the earth sciences. Various teaching approaches that can be applied in the context of natural science education are presented, which educators can use in the design of their educational activities. Emphasis is placed on students' alternative conceptions and how students can be guided towards conceptual change to acquire new knowledge. Detailed attention is given to curriculum programs, lesson organisation and design, as well as educational assessment, serving as a useful guide for earth science educators. One of the main themes of the book is the educational techniques that can be used in the classroom to lead students towards knowledge acquisition, skill development and the formation of attitudes and values. Furthermore, the book thoroughly analyses teaching with the use of digital technologies, presenting institutions that develop informal and non-formal forms of education, along with practices developed within them. Considering the contemporary framework of "Science with and for Society" in education, the earth sciences are connected to everyday life and society, from the local level to the global geopolitical stage.

description: The aim of the book “Gender, Science and Society:  Queer Readings of Human Subjugation” is to demonstrate how the exploitation of (human) nature as a commodity is part of a capitalist, racial, sexist, colonial and misanthropic scientific regime of truth. To support this argument, we seek to explore the relationship between sex, gender, race, class, science, submissiveness and power within the context of Western science. We aim to challenge science’s traditional Western white interpretations of sex, gender roles, sexuality and nature and to explore dominant ideologies of eugenics and ableism by examining the mechanisms of these power structures through a critical queer, cross-disciplinary, and anti-colonial approach. We also seek to challenge the scientific assumption that binary sex is natural as a resource for the perpetuation of Western civilisation and the promotion of a “healthy” and long-lasting international superior race that involves the subservience of any other “sex-racial” race. Our approach focuses on the historicisation of the Western white science’s interpretation of sex, gender, class, sexuality and nature. This historicisation involves a critical analysis of the terms used to define nature, ethics, sex, gender, race, normality and class, as well as disability, criminality, pathological sex and sexuality and how science, from eugenics to genetics, responds to these questions. To summarise our methodology, we propose a new field of research, exploring the relationship between sex, gender, sexuality, class, race, age, and ableism as well as the urgency to decolonise science, sexuality and gender.

description:
Migration and social pedagogy - the structure of relations between social process and phenomenon as well as a system and field of action in societies are now seen as a recognized normality in a migration society. According to the authors' view, the relationship between social pedagogy and immigration describes only a specific orientation for action that needs to be considered from a broader perspective. Heterogeneity as a horizontal issue is analyzed in socio-pedagogical contexts and especially in different fields of action. Socio-pedagogical theory opens a broader perspective on the relationship between individuals, with and without an immigrant background, and society.
Social pedagogy has often changed over the decades of immigration in Europe. It is always a reflection of socio-political developments. According to the historiography of immigration, which is usually referred to as a sequence of phases of different analysis regarding the policy of foreigners, the historical development of social pedagogy can also be interpreted as a sequence of social and socio-political discourses.
Social pedagogy is shaped by the contexts that are set by politics, society, science and their audiences through their respective narratives, expectations, changing theoretical foundations or individual needs. Therefore, it makes sense to integrate the lines of development of social pedagogy in the context of continuous forced migration into the history of global migration policy. This is consistently described as a sequence of overlapping and alternating phases. Social pedagogy has responded to this with different concepts. Such a classification is "realistic, structural and heuristic", i.e. it takes place only after the fact.

description:
This textbook can be seen as a prelude to Political Science. It is less loaded with specialized terminology and avoids academic jargon, compared to typical introductory textbooks. Instead, it is rich in examples and experiences from everyday life and, as far as possible, uses simple, unrefined language. In terms of content, it deals with all the fundamental issues and the main concepts and considerations of Political Science, in the fields of Comparative Political Analysis, Political Theory and International Relations. It gives emphasis on the American political system, but it is not limited to it.
“A Primer on Politics” explores the phenomenon of power in its various aspects. It provides a brief historical review of models of government from antiquity to the prevalence of modern democracy. Also, it defines the scope of political philosophy and its main themes.  Furthermore, the textbook presents the main political ideologies and analyses the forms of government with emphasis on democracy. It, also, explains the role of political culture, political communication, and interest groups in politics as well as approaching the phenomenon of political parties in relation to elections and electoral systems. Finally, it describes the distinction between executive, legislative and judicial powers and their relations. It discusses all aspects of economic policy and the main economic systems and it examines the major theories of international relations and the basic features of the international system.

description: The book seeks to highlight the challenges that the digital condition offers for Teaching and Learning history. After an introductory chapter referring to the transformations brought about by digitality in the Humanities, and especially in Historical Studies and Historiography, we focus on both the theoretical foundation of digital history education and its practical applications. At the theoretical level, it is argued that the use of digital technologies in education should be closely connected with the purposes, the learning outcomes, and the methodologies of the discipline to be taught.  Especially, the inclusion of digitality in History Education is based on the one hand in the epistemology of Didactics of History regarding Historical Thinking and on the other in its connection with critical citizenship in the modern digital world and the formation of digital citizenship. At the same time, the great challenges posed by digitalism for School History are highlighted. They have to do with the concept of the Active Audience, the Shared historical authority as well as the reduction of the distance between the producer and the user of history. The book consists of 12 chapters. All chapters have extensive Greek and foreign language bibliography and assessment activities. Chapters 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 are devoted to the use of general-purpose software and the Internet in the search, evaluation, organization and use of historical information and sources, participatory web technologies in conventional and distance historical education, in the history software by category of their theoretical basis as well as in the repositories of educational historical content such as Photodendro. Chapters 6, 9, 10, 11 and 12 shed light on the digital challenges of digital mapping, digital gamification, film history, mobile history and mobile literacy and finally digital storytelling always with reference to history education.

description:
This book first attempts a detailed discussion of the epistemological and methodological issues that accompanied the intense epistemological approaches developed during the early period of the trend known as the 'linguistic turn', which characterised the shift of cognitive interest from the sensory perception of knowledge to methods of linguistic analysis. According to the dominant view expressed in the context of this early period, all pragmatic questions could be answered by clarifying the questions concerning the meaning of linguistic sentences. Only through linguistic analysis could phenomena such as meaning, thought and the representation of the world be properly understood and clarified.
However, the treatment of language as an independent object of scientific observation and as a form of expression and conceptual delimitation of syntactic structures of meaning had ignored the social conditions of its use. This transition of epistemological issues to problems of linguistic expression called into question the establishment of a general scientific knowledge, independent of the comprehensible  patterns of the various social and cultural interpretive forms and more generally of a frame of reference, within which the collective subjects of scientific interpretation manifest themselves.

description: This study examines some emblematic, but also some lesser-known modern Greek prose works of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, to discuss the functions and representations of nature in these works from an ecological perspective. This perspective places the project within the framework of ecocriticism. After a presentation of the history and issues of this branch of environmental humanities, the individual chapters examine the works in their socio-cultural contexts, in the order of their chronological succession. Topics discussed are the political, ideological and economic presuppositions of interwar bourgeois love of nature; the distant idealization of nature in the intellectual nationalism of the 1930s generation; its ideological abuse in the service of eugenics in the same period; the identification of women with character in a movement that initially idealizes and eventually repels both in male writers and, in the opposite direction, the acceptance of the materiality and diversity of nature in women writers from the interwar to the early postwar years; the threat of nature's return as an oppressed but liberating Other in the aggressive urbanization of the 1960s; the end of the world as a consequence of rampant growth, individualism and competition and the possibility of salvation in the opening up, acceptance of fluidity and the connection of the human being to the whole of the natural realm. In this study, the hierarchical dichotomy of human/nature recurs consistently in many of the texts. In contrast, others highlight the dead ends to which this oppressive and devaluing division leads, as it becomes clear that humans are nature.

description:
Radio Art is an artistic field that emerges at the intersection of sonic art and radio. It originates from the radicalization of radio drama and poetry shaped significantly by electroacoustic music composers and media artists. Radio artists nowadays develop diverse approaches to narrativity and experimentation, creating works that explore sound and its relationship to language, culture and the environment. Radio Art seeks to challenge traditional notions of radio, considering broadcasting as an art form.
This textbook proposes an educational approach to Radio Art in Greece where this field is rather underdeveloped until now. Its primary goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of Radio Art's historical development and more specifically to examine the evolution of the morphological traits of radio works as a result of the technological, aesthetic, and social conditions that created them. A secondary objective is to present the essentials of an analytical system for Radio Art works based on the narrative function of their sonic material. The book is divided into two Parts. A detailed account of the evolution of Radio Art, including a basic overview of radio and radio drama, is presented in the First Part which is articulated in eight chapters (Chapters 1-8). In the Second Part (Chapters 9–11) a theoretical framework for Radio Art works is presented and a poly-parametric system for their narrative analysis is proposed.
The first nine chapters of this book are meant to support a complete undergraduate introductory course on the history and theory of Radio Art. The remaining chapters aim to further its study on a theoretical and analytical level which can be extended to a graduate course.
This book is addressed to students who follow academic courses related to or focusing on Radio Art. It can be also useful to electroacoustic music composers or, in general, sonic artists who wish to enrich their knowledge about Radio Art and expand their creative work towards this fascinating artistic discipline.

description:
This textbook deals with the phenomenon of civil wars in the modern era. These are conflicts, and wars, which do not pit society against an external enemy but which, on the contrary, unfold within it, turning one part of it against another.
Civil wars are not a phenomenon of our time. In all historical periods, we can see traces of conflicts to which we could fearlessly attribute the term. In ancient times, civil wars were a special field of political reflection, both in the Greek and Roman worlds. But in the modern era, from the dawn of the 19th century to our days, the phenomenon has acquired special characteristics as complex as our era itself.

Economic interests, class struggle and social injustices, conflicts within the ruling elites, generate this type of conflict. Ideologies, religions, and pragmatic or metaphysical visions come to "dress up" these oppositions and become the banners of the war between them.
This manual proposes the study of the civil wars of the modern era with a comparative approach, examining the common characteristics of the major differences of the most "classic" wars of the genre: the American (1861-1865), the Russian (1918-1922), the Spanish (1936-1939) and "ours", the Greek (1946-1949).

Through this comparative overview, we can first understand and understand the characteristics of civil wars, the circumstances in which they arise, their weight in national and world history, what they destroy and what they create.
Though it is not possible to exhaust, in the context of an educational textbook, such a complex phenomenon, we assume that through the reading and study of the present, the reader will have the first orientation for a subsequent deeper acquaintance with a phenomenon that is much discussed in our own time.

description: Non-destructive techniques constitute an integrated methodology for the diagnosis and classification of wear and tear, as well as for investigating the compatibility of materials in the conservation and restoration processes of cultural artworks. In the first chapter, an extensive reference is made to the nature and properties of the widely used pigments-pigments, as well as the manufacturing techniques used from antiquity, the Middle Ages and modern painting. The methods applied to the non-destructive characterization of materials are Fiber Optics Spectroscopy (UV-Vis-ΝIR), X-ray Fluorescence (XRF), ATR-FTIR spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy,  Digital Microscopy (DM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM-EDX). In the second chapter, the non-destructive methods and techniques used in the study of cultural objects and monuments are listed. In the third chapter, the application of combined non-destructive methodology in case studies for the identification of pigments in historical frescoes, statues and figurines of Mycenaean and Cycladic art is presented. In this fourth chapter, the Medieval burial monument of the Prince of France Philippe Dagobert with traces of polychrome is studied. In the fifth chapter, the on-site examination of selected frescoes of the Daphni Monastery is described. In the sixth chapter, the methodology of non-destructive determination and identification of the pigments and the technique of applying them to the paintings of the popular painter Theofilos Hatzimichael is presented.

description: This laboratory guide  is addressed to undergraduate Computer Engineering students that attend a Computer Networking course. The book includes a series of laboratory exercises that aim at familiarising students with the operation of modern network devices. More specifically, students will gain experience in programming network devices in a simulation environment by using the freely distributed Packet Tracer simulator developed by Cisco. The Packet tracer tool allows the user to apply configuration procedures to network devices that are part of a computer network in a virtual environment. The exercises are designed for 2 (most of them) or 4-hour teaching periods. The exact duration varies depending on the extend of the discussion that will take place in the classroom. Moreover, the exercises are developed in such a way that can be performed by a student without supervision and with the simulator as the only requirement. In this guide several networking-related issues are analysed, such as: basic configuration of network devices (security configurations, remote access), IPv4 and IPv6 addressing and subnetting, static and dynamic routing, Access Control Lists (ACLs), Virtual LANs (VLANs), Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) IPv4 services (DHCP, NAT) and network security related issues. For all of the above subjects, network topologies are developed and the configuration procedures are described in detail in order for the system to be fully operational.

description: The book explores the concept of assessment in early childhood learning and development. Although there are different forms of assessment, it focuses on formative assessment considering its potential to enhance learning. The main argument of the book is that assessment should be linked to, reinforce, and extend learning and teaching. The effectiveness of the assessment process presupposes that the teacher can recognize and respond to learning, with the aim of promoting it. This challenge also constitutes the intention of the book: to support future teachers by offering conceptual tools and criteria to understand the concept of formative assessment, its purpose, the processes that determine it and the conditions that favour its application in practice, but also to question their own perceptions of assessment. In particular, the book attempts to answer questions such as: What is formative assessment? What are the purposes, and functions of formative assessment? What are its approaches? What exactly is assessed in terms of preschool children's learning and development and by what procedures? What is the role of the teacher, the child, and the family in the assessment process?

description: This book attempts an introduction to the most basic topics of Probability and Statistics, without requiring prior knowledge of these topics. Thus, intuition plays a primary role in the introduction of concepts and the development of methodology. Mathematical rigor is maintained wherever possible. In this context, the book consists of ten chapters, in which the most basic concepts and methodologies of Probability and Statistics unfold. In the last chapter, a recapitulation-epilogue of the book is attempted in which the methodologies of the previous chapters are applied and data and examples presented in them are analyzed with the help of the SPSS statistical package. This book was written to serve as an introductory aid for all those who wish to acquire an introductory knowledge of the most basic concepts and methodologies of Probability Theory and Statistics. The methodology is introduced, structured, developed and justified in an intuitive way, with the help of an example. The usual mathematical-formalistic formulation of the statistical model is not followed; it is presented with its intuitive perspective. Thus, although the book aims mainly to an audience with limited mathematical knowledge, it can also be used by an audience which is focused on mathematical science or the natural sciences in general, since the intuitive presentation of concepts and methodologies, which are followed in this book, may help to better understand them. This book, in no way, aspires to replace valuable books that are available in the Greek and international bibliography, some of which are mentioned in the recommended bibliography of the Chapters as well as in the overall recommended bibliography at the end of the book. It aspires to present the topics on which it focuses with the "language" of the authors, as it was formed and evolved from the many years of teaching of these topics to large audiences of students who focused their interest on various cognitive and research objects.

description:
This study aims to describe and critically analyse fundamental aspects of Giorgos Seferis's poetic theory, focusing on its connections and responses to the basic principles of Anglo-Saxon modernism. In this context, it also examines the interpretations, evaluations and popularisations of Seferis' theoretical contributions by modern and contemporary literary critics. The study focuses on four main concepts that are considered to be "keys" to Seferis's poetic theory: language, translation, myth and history. Special attention is paid to the strategy by which the Greek poet transforms and hybridises central concepts and practices of the Anglo-Saxon modernist paradigm (mainly the poetics of T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound), in order to negotiate them with selected elements of Greek cultural "tradition" and to adapt them to the limits of tolerance of Greek culture in the interwar and early postwar decades.
Individual chapters also attempt to shed light on the processes of critical validation and canonisation of the poet's theoretical elaborations, through which the construction of the theoretical matrix of Greek modernism was completed and normalised, both artistically and institutionally. In the course of this study, a wide range of textual evidence is critically examined. This material falls into four categories: a) essays, poems and other texts by G. Seferis (including letters, notes, diary entries, excerpts from interviews, etc.); b) poems, essays and other texts by G. Seferis (including letters, notes, diary entries, excerpts from interviews, etc.). ); b) poems, essays and other texts by key figures of Anglo-Saxon poetic modernism; c) poems and essays by other Greek poets and prose writers; and d) texts of modern and recent Greek and international literary criticism that reflect (and allow us to compare) the reception and normalisation of Anglo-Saxon modernism and of Seferis's theoretical concepts.

description: Chemical and biochemical processes can be found in our daily lives, in large industries, as well as in cutting-edge fields worldwide, such as the kinetics of drug action, the functioning of our stomach, increasing the octane number of gasoline, the production of plastics, synthesis of various chemicals, the action of enzymes and microbes etc. This multitude of applications of chemical and biochemical processes make this subject particularly interesting to study and understand. This book aspires to be a readily accessible and highly comprehensible introductory textbook to the Engineering of chemical reactions and chemical and biochemical processes as well as the chemical reactor design. It is targeted mainly to undergraduate students, although some chapters may also be used in postgraduate courses. It has been written aiming to provide all the necessary information so that it can be used as it is in the teaching of a semester course. The aim of this book, in addition to the knowledge and understanding of each subject discussed, is also the consolidation of knowledge through its application. For this reason, special emphasis has been placed on the integration of several solved examples and exercises in each chapter to enable the student to practice and apply his knowledge. Briefly, it includes the following sections: initially, the study of the kinetics of various homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, and then, the design of all types of homogeneous ideal chemical reactors, as well as their non-isothermal operation. It continues with the study of reactor cascades and the optimization of their operation. A presentation of heterogeneous catalytic and non-catalytic processes and reactors follows. Enzymatic and microbial reactions come next, and the content closes with the presentation of non-ideal reactors.

description:
Before humans left their first footprints in Africa, the Earth's surface was shaped solely by the natural geophysical processes of climate, tectonic uplift, volcanism and erosion, sediment transport and deposition. While these processes continue to shape the relief, human societies have increasingly acquired the ability to act as a new force of geomorphological change, adding to and interacting with pre-existing natural forces in shaping the relief through activities such as fires, the ploughing of land for agriculture, the construction of settlements, dams, mines, roads, and other infrastructure. Therefore, a full assessment and understanding of the formation and evolution of today's landforms requires an understanding of the anthropogenic processes that have contributed to their formation.
Applied Geomorphology focuses on geomorphological environments and the processes that involve societies. It includes the application of geomorphology to answer research questions of geomorphological importance to society and to find solutions to a variety of social-environmental problems affected by landforms and geomorphological processes. In other words, Applied Geomorphology can be defined as geomorphology at the service of society and man.
In this context, this book focuses mainly on applications of Geomorphology and on changes in the geomorphological environment due to human interventions, as well as on natural geomorphic processes that affect man. It aims to understand the changes brought about by anthropogenic activities in the geomorphological environment and to manage and assess risks such as floods and erosion.
The book analyses the main methods and techniques used in geomorphology, anthropogenic interventions and the alteration of the relief, the effects of urbanisation, and the assessment of geomorphological risks, such as erosion, floods and landslides. The interaction of man with the environment, and the effects of anthropogenic interventions on geomorphological phenomena and vice versa, are described. In addition, case studies from the Greek area are presented and analysed.
Overall, this book aims to contribute to a better understanding of the contribution of the human factor to the transformation of natural relief, the environmental impacts and the geomorphological hazards that can lead to a multitude of environmental changes with human implications.

description: The textbook consists of three chapters, just as they are mentioned in the title. The book was initially written in order to fill a void of such a topic in the Greek scientific literature. There is not a systematic description of these three subjects in Greek. The first chapter, which is also the largest, is dealing with the systems of units, mainly with the International System of Units (SI). It is important that we refer to the latest version of the SI that has been in use since May 20th, 2019. The difference is that the SI is based on seven basic physical constants that define the fundamental units of measurement. The values of the constants are fixed, given with no uncertainty. The derived units are defined by the fundamental units in the usual way. Precise definitions are given for the various concepts that are relevant to the subject. The second, and most concise chapter, deals with the significant figures. The meaning of significant digits is given in a clear manner, along with the use in calculations. Many people are confused about what significant figures and decimal figures are. The third chapter deals with the dimensional analysis. It is a fact that many physicists (mainly theorists) and engineers use dimensional analysis without knowing the theoretical background of the method. Engineers working with fluids are more experts in the subject and with deeper knowledge. The deeper knowledge helps in the better use of the method for more complicated problems. The textbook could be used/read separately or together with others that are related with subjects we referred to above.

description:
This textbook is an introduction to the most important chapters of Physical Chemistry, and it is a part of  various lectures in the first semester of the undergraduate program in the Biology Department of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH).
Biology is the study of living creatures/organisms, and, its historical origin is descriptive in its nature (taxonomy and description of the species). Through contemporary Biology, however, scientists attempt to understand the phenomena in living creatures on a molecular level. In this way, Contemporary Biology is being transformed from a qualitative to a quantitative science, and as a result of this, a theoretical framework,  corresponding to the mathematical approach, is required. Physical Chemistry as a part of the science of Chemistry can provide an important framework in this infrastructure as well as in the study of molecular science, the characteristics of living creatures, and the chemical and biological reactions taking place. Even though Physical Chemistry is mainly an educational tool for the chemists, its terms can also be used for the understanding of various and important mathematical processes, with the minimum background of mathematical knowledge needed.
Physical chemistry studies the molecular structure of macroscopic appearing material as well as its effect on individual properties. In chemical systems, it investigates and analyses various phenomena, such as chemical reactions, energy changes etc., while the biological phenomena, such as enzymatic reactions, photosynthesis, electrolyte transport etc., can be researched and understood with the help of physical chemistry laws.
In this textbook, a reference to the major areas of Quantum Theory, Statistical Thermodynamics and Spectroscopy is not made, as the text is addressed to first-semester undergraduate students.
The present textbook consists of ten chapters. In the first eight chapters, an introduction to theoretical terms is given, while the last two chapters refer to several selected laboratory exercises, and to o the health and safety regulations needed while performing them. All chapters are accompanied with exercises, math problems, bibliography and a brief table of the foremost terms and mathematical equations.

description: In this textbook the Greek cement industry and, by extension, the concrete production industry are analyzed. The required mineral raw materials for cement production are given, their production methods are described and the mechanical preparation of the raw materials for their conversion into a suitable feed (raw meal) for the clinker production is examined. They also described the necessary preparatory processes (pre-homogenization - storage of raw materials) for producing suitable cement kiln feed. The rotary kilns and the pyro-processing operations performed in the kiln for clinker production are described. Furthermore, the book provides information on the selection of suitable refractory linings for rotary kilns. The Bogue equations used to describe the properties of clinker using the percentage ratio of its phases are then given. Afterwards, the mathematical methods for the determination of the appropriate raw materials proportioning for the production of cement are presented. Also, the size reduction processes in the cement industry are investigated and the equations for the prediction of the energy consumed in grinding are given. The types of cement (common and composite), their uses, the methodology for the production of composite cement and the environmental impact of their production are then analyzed. Reference is also made to the energy requirements for cement production and the heat production in the kiln, as well as to the conventional and alternative fuels in the process. Subsequently, the hydration process, i.e. the chemical behaviour of cement during the production and use of concrete, is discussed, and also the chemical admixtures used in the production and use of concrete are briefly discussed. Then, the production methods of concrete aggregates are examined and the methods of testing the suitability of concrete aggregates and the Greek and international Aggregate Testing Standards are briefly reviewed. Finally, an attempt is made to investigate the environmental aspects of the production and use of cement and concrete.

description:
Τhis textbook focuses on bilingualism and in particular on the ways in which minority-group children develop proficiency in the language spoken by their community. It involves families in which at least one parent has an L1 different from the language which is dominant in their country of residence and wish their children to develop both these languages. In the Greek context, such groups include immigrants and refugees, Greek Roma and Muslims, as well as Greek-origin people living abroad.
The authors begin by discussing the various aspects and dimensions of bilingualism as well as issues related to the language use and education of such children. Drawing from research evidence and various theoretical frameworks on Family Language Policy, they manage to highlight the salient factors which contribute to bilingual development in such family contexts.
One of the most important factors is attendance of ‘community schools’; the term refers to -usually informal- courses in which children belonging to a minority group learn the language and culture of their parents’ country of origin outside the mainstream school. The authors use examples from Greece and other countries to discuss issues related to the organization of such schools and their objectives; the latter may include not only the development of language proficiency but also the construction of a particular ethnic identity. They also discuss how schools may attempt to achieve these aims, in the light of recent approaches to bilingualism and language education. The final chapter presents related teaching approaches (‘pluralistic approaches to language teaching’) which stress the importance of developing plural communicative repertoires and exploiting the full range of communicative resources that bilingual students possess.

description: The book is an introduction to the section of Mathematical Programming concerning the optimization of a linear function subject to a set of linear constraints. A distinction is made in respect to whether the domain of the variables is continuous or discrete. In the first case the section is referred to as Linear Programming while in the second case as Integer (Linear) Programming. The book covers a great range of the former  while it presents basic knowledge of the latter. Three core features of the subject are explored in the book: a) the modeling development reflecting practical problems, b) the theoretical study of the underlying structures that these models describe, c) the algorithmic techniques for solving the models developed in (a) based on the analysis presented in (b). Consequently, the book  is a holistic approach to this specific field; the presentation of the underlying theory and its exploitation for model solving, the algorithmic techniques developed for that purpose and the analysis of the information that they provide as an output as well as the wide range of applications are some of the feature of  this book which aims at motivating the reader to become more involved in this fascinating subject.

Η ραγδαία ανάπτυξη των Ηλεκτρονικών Υπολογιστών τα τελευταία χρόνια σε συνδυασμό με την αντίστοιχη πρόοδο που παρατηρείται στην περιοχή της Υπολογιστικής Μηχανικής, έχουν καταστήσει ουσιαστικά την χρήση των αριθμητικών μεθόδων και κυρίως της Μεθόδου των Πεπερασμένων Στοιχείων, ως αποκλειστική επιλογή κατά την επίλυση προβλημάτων όπως π.χ. αυτών των θεμελιώσεων, των εκσκαφών, των αντιστηρίξεων και της διάνοιξης σηράγγων σε αστικό ή μη περιβάλλον. Για τον σκοπό αυτό κρίνεται απαραίτητη η κατανόηση της Θεωρίας της Μεθόδου των Πεπερασμένων Στοιχείων και της εφαρμογής της σε προβλήματα Γεωτεχνικής Μηχανικής.

Το βιβλίο "Ανάλυση Προβλημάτων Γεωτεχνικής Μηχανικής με τη Μέθοδο των Πεπερασμένων Στοιχείων" επιχειρεί να εισάγει τον αναγνώστη στη διαδικασία της προσομοίωσης του φυσικού προβλήματος ως μία διαδικασία σύνθεσης στοιχείων και τεχνικών της Μεθόδου των Πεπερασμένων Στοιχείων. Το βιβλίο διαρθρώνεται σε 3 βασικούς άξονες:

1. Την παρουσίαση της θεωρητικού υπόβαθρου αλλά και στοιχείων προγραμματισμού της Μεθόδου των Πεπερασμένων Στοιχείων.
2. Την κατανόηση των ιδιαιτεροτήτων που παρουσιάζουν τα γεωτεχνικά προβλήματα κατά την ανάλυση/προσομοίωση με τη Μέθοδο των Πεπερασμένων Στοιχείων.
3. Την εφαρμογή της Μεθόδου, ως μία συνθετική διαδικασία, σε προβλήματα Γεωτεχνικής Μηχανικής.

Το βιβλίο απευθύνεται σε προπτυχιακούς και μεταπτυχιακούς φοιτητές και ερευνητές στο πεδίο της Γεωτεχνικής Μηχανικής και γενικότερα σε μηχανικούς που ασχολούνται με γεωτεχνικά προβλήματα.

description: Today, imaging techniques are internationally on the cutting edge of non-destructive diagnostics of movable and immovable cultural heritage monuments and constitute a valuable research tool, at the service of expert scientists and professionals in the field. The aim of the book is to present, in a systematic and organized manner, the methodology of applying a series of “popular” imaging techniques, which has been adopted and evaluated in practice by the authors during the study of various objects of cultural heritage. Particular emphasis is placed on the critical presentation of the application requirements, the type of information that these techniques provide in different fields and the interpretative approach to visual information. This book is a practical guide that investigates problems and proposes updated and reliable solutions for dealing in an effective and optimal way with the various issues that arise in the continuous and comprehensive diagnostic process of examination, evaluation and documentation of cultural heritage objects. It is addressed to both specialist and non-specialist readers, as well as scientists and professionals in the field who wish to familiarize themselves with non-destructive imaging methodologies and are interested in delving into issues of preservation and protection of cultural heritage. The book is structured in two parts: the first part consists of three chapters, where the basic principles of non-destructive testing and the necessary theoretical knowledge to understand both the operating principle of imaging techniques and the interpretation of acquired images are presented. Furthermore, the specific methodology, instrumentation, special characteristics and requirements for the application of each method, are described, as well as the importance of the standards. The second part consists of four chapters that discuss the particularities, capabilities and limitations of the techniques in the study of a series of cultural heritage objects such as panel paintings and paintings on canvas, archival material, books and works of art on paper, sculpture and ceramics, archaeological objects, monuments and wall paintings. Finally, at the end of the book the reader is offered the opportunity to evaluate his or her understanding of the chapters with questions which guide towards a synthetic and critical way of thinking.

description: The book is a textbook for the 7th and 8th semesters of Architectural Composition and attempts to bring together Architectural Design and Building Technology. Its aims are to methodically analyse and classify the construction choices that serve architectural composition and to help fostering a deeper understanding of such selections. In addition, it aspires to develop criteria regarding the choice of materials and how construction details can be resolved. The book consists of eight (8) chapters, subdivided in three parts with explanatory and annotated illustrated material. Part 1 discusses the nature of load-bearing structures, their types in construction, the range of choices, the particular requirements of each material, and elements of the design of details. Extensive reference is made to the use of structural materials and their technological evolution. This is followed by a categorisation and a classification of load-bearing structures and of the skin of the building. Furthermore, the elements that make up the skin and the environmental requirements which it must meet are examined. Part 2 introduces the key building materials, their mechanical properties, their physical limits and their compatibility in construction. It analyses their forming and processing techniques, as well as elements of their specification. In addition, each report methodically attempts to develop criteria for their use, as well as to discuss alternative approaches based on issues of economy, regulations and the image of the end result. Finally, part 3 provides information on the design management of the architectural project in the established practices, the approach and design rendering by hand and through CAD, and the specific requirements of integrated information assembly based on a variety of established practices and the requirements of regulations.

description: Although an extensive body of literature exists on the Python programming language, the Greek equivalent is notably sparse. It generally focuses on grasping Python's core concepts rather than exploring its extensive library ecosystem. Our examination of the available resources through the Eudoxus platform and a review of the content in existing books revealed that they tend to skim the surface, aiming to introduce the Python language and basic programming concepts. Our intention, however, is to take a different approach by presenting the most popular libraries to ensure that students gain not only a proficiency in Python but also a comprehensive understanding of the ecosystem surrounding it. Our aspiration is for our book to serve as a supplementary aid across a variety of courses, rather than as the main textbook for a single subject. The book will begin with a conceptual overview of the language, covering foundational elements such as data types, arithmetic and logical operations, variables, control structures like loops and flow control, functions, file handling, and database management. It will also address the object-oriented aspects of programming in Python, including objects, classes, inheritance, polymorphism and encapsulation. Following this, we will delve into specialized libraries for file management, graphical user interfaces, sockets, databases, machine vision, digital game development, data analysis, numeric and vector processing, mathematical computations (linear algebra, statistics, vector calculus etc.), graph plotting, statistical result visualization, machine learning, artificial intelligence, neural networks and interactive user interface development. In conclusion, the book will outline the standard text processors and Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) utilized in Python programming, alongside the most effective debugging techniques, to equip students with practical skills in software development.

description: At the beginning, the book introduces the reader to business ecosystems and various forms of entrepreneurship, with a particular emphasis on the characteristics of new and emerging digital ecosystems. The inextricable relationship between innovation and entrepreneurship is then analyzed, as well as the concept of the business model and in particular the Business Model Canvas tool and how it includes the involved members of an ecosystem. The main characteristics of the external and internal environment of businesses and their ecosystems follow, and the various tools that contribute to their evaluation, as well as the goals that are then set and the way to evaluate the performance of the operation of businesses and organizations. The identification of the four main generic strategies, as well as other types of business potential strategies is the subject that follows, while particular emphasis is placed on the innovation strategy and how it affects the business/competitive strategies applied by a firm in the context of and wider cooperation in a ecosystem. The next subjects deal within the book concerns cooperative movements with the aim of obtaining mutual benefits, as well as ways of reacting to different competitive movements carried out by organizations of an ecosystem, while it then further focuses on a particular form of business ecosystem, the clusters. The necessary elements and background are given to understand the process of strategic management with an emphasis on achieving and maintaining a competitive advantage. Finally, the book describes the issues of ethical and social responsibility in the context of business sustainability, with particular reference to business sustainability strategy which becomes central to their overall direction and strategy.

description: Mountainous areas offer an important visiting, touring, recreational and culturally didactic destination for contemporary societies. Nevertheless, the correlation of cultural ethics with mountain territories, especially those of high altitude, has not always been positive. As far as it regards Western societies, the affirmative crucial change to mountain oriented cultural habits coincides with the end of the 18th century, and the upraise of the European romanticism. The first part of this volume refers to the previous historic alteration of the cultural imaginary and the way that architectural formations participated to the mountain tourism; providing, through the two previous centuries till nowadays, minor ingenious bivouacs for the adventurous mountaineers, or extended housing and athletic facilities for the biggest number of visitors.The second part of the volume refers to the Hellenic mountainous areas, insisting on the fact that an extended part of them may be associated to important incidents, concerning the real participation of their cultural communities to the historic transformations of the Hellenic and Balkan area, or their emblematic imaginary participation to the ideological neoteric transformation of the post-Renaissance social and political ethics. It is in this context that the promotion and the development of the Hellenic mountainous areas has to be regarded as an effort that largely exceeds economic aspirations of a simplistic touristic attitude. It must be accepted as a cultural and political commitment, in correlation to the didactic offer that has to be provided to the visitors and, furthermore, to the local inhabitants. In the second part of the volume, the context of the term ‘tradition’ is firstly analyzed, in comparison to the historic importance of the Hellenic mountainous territories in reference. Then we proceed to the presentation of exemplary proposals, of academic didactic or research context, concerning the description and promotion of their valuable, internationally unique, identity.
