Greece - Science topic

Dear colleagues

Good morning. Diamonds have been known from various locations around the world, some of which are unconventional (far away from cratons). The Roman writer Pliny the Elder mentioned that diamonds had been found in the gold mines of Ancient Philippi in Greece. Have any diamond-related rocks (kimberlites, lamproites etc.) ever been found Greece? What is your opinion about the Ancient Philippi diamond occurrence (see attached PDF)? If you have any additional information, please provide it.

Best regards

In Greece, in 1924, there was a referendum on the form of government, in the sense of whether the head of state would be the king, i.e., hereditary and for life, or the President of democracy, i.e., elected and for a term of office. A military revolution and the royal family's departure from Greece preceded it. Subsequently, the 4th National Assembly, formed by elections, issued a resolution declaring Greece a republic and declaring the Glücksburg dynasty overthrown. The people were called to a referendum to approve or reject the choice of the National Assembly. Can you provide information about similar incidents, influence, etc, in your country at that age? Can you suggest any bibliography on this topic?

Hello!

I wonder how I can add to the list of journals, a journal published in Greece .

Contandriopoulos, Quézel et Zaffran claimed that both 2n=16

whereas 't Hart claimed

tymphaeum 2n=14

tristriatum 2n=22, 2n=44

We are all living in a strange era since last year due to the pandemic of COVID-19, so we are all seeking to find the truth about basic parameters of it.

As everybody knows, any research needs reliable data, so we need data.

But, despite the plethora of available online sets, the critical ones are not always presented publicly.

For example in Greece we do not have online data for next categories, all related to COVID-19:

In Greece we do not have also next data online:

The only available set was next:

Recently a paper about inside and outside ICU mortality was published with correspondent author having next past jobs

(All those jobs were at the same Organization, now called "EODY", which is the Greek CDC for all of you that you do not know the Greek reality)

Not to make you tired:

Thank you for your patient to read such a big test,

I am waiting for your thoughts,

Can we stop global climate change? Does human scientific power reach the world's climate change? How do researchers respond?

As you know, humans are very intelligent and can predict the future climate of the world with hydrology, climatology and paleontology. But don't countries, especially industrialized countries, that produce the most harmful gases in the earth's atmosphere and think about the future of the earth's atmosphere? Do they listen to the research of climatologists? What would have to happen to force them to listen to climate scientists?

Miloud Chakit added a reply

Climate change is an important and complex global challenge, and scientific theories about it are based on extensive research and evidence. The future path of the world depends on various factors including human actions, political decisions and international cooperation.

Efforts to mitigate and adapt to climate change continue. While complete reversal may be challenging, important steps can be taken to slow progression and lessen its effects. This requires global cooperation, sustainable practices and the development and implementation of clean energy technologies.

Human scientific abilities play an important role, but dealing with climate change also requires social, economic and political changes. The goal is to limit global warming and its associated impacts, and collective action at the local, national, and international levels is essential for a more sustainable future.

It is impossible to stop global climate change. The human scientific power can not reach the world's climate change.

Borys Kapochkin added a reply

Mathematical models of increasing planetary temperature as a function of the argument - anthropogenic influence - are erroneous.

Alastair Bain McDonald added a reply

We could stop climate change but we won't! We have the scientific knowldge but not the political will. One could blame Russia and China from refusing to cooperate but half the population of the USA (Republicans) deny climate change is a problem and prefer their profligate life styles.

All climate change has been loaded on the CO2 responsible for the greenhouse effect. Therefore, there must be scientific experiments from several independent scientific institutes worldwide to find out what the greenhouse impact is on various CO2 concentrations. Then, there must be a conference from a reliable, professional organization with the participation of all independent scientific institutions to establish standards on CO2 concentrations and propose political actions accordingly.

The second action that can be done is to plant as many trees and plants as possible to breathe the CO2 and free the oxygen. Stop any deforestation and plant trees immediately in any bunt areas.

Humans have more capacity than they are utilising , and this is due to factors outside the realm of science. Politics and Capitalism or the quest to make more profit every day , has attenuated the ingenuity of humanity and innovation that could resolve lots of situations .

The changes we need is science without strings attached. We need to create innovative ways to deflect the trajectory of consumption and profitability to sustainability . typically the insatiable desire to control and make profits creates promotion and attachment to lifestyles and consumption habits that can be attributed to global worming .

A typical example is the dissolution of knit societies which meant that most schools, hospitals , markets , and movement offices where within walking distances before the metropolis ideology , mean that people didn't necessarily have to drive , the coming of virtualisation and remote work tools should mitigate unnecessary flights and a few other things we don't need urgently . the other example is we don't need beef every day , which means we just need enough cows of we follow nature and not commercials.

Most technologies are based on production processes that are so toxic that the result is not worth the risk , and yet we have not figured a way to mitigate the outcomes.

It can be done , but we need untainted scientists and thinkers to start the trend of fixing the anomaly

I'm a 5th year Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering student in Democritus University of Thrace in Greece and I have to do a 30-page paper on Wireless Brain-Machine Interface but I don't know how to organize my paper. I don't know in what topics to divide such a big paper. It is a completely new topic, one that we didn't discuss in class so I need some help with this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time.

Salvatore Settis (Il Futuro del Classico, 2004) changed radically the traditional concept of Greek culture created by the German classicists of the XIX century. Instead of the idea of an isolated independent Greek world, self-sufficient, where the famous miracle happened, S.Settis shows that since early times Greeks were very curious about foreigner cultural traditions. Moreover, Greeks recognized and assimilated knowledge from older civilizations. This perspective debunked the supposed superiority of modern European civilization based on the false idea of an Old Greece that never existed. From the Old Greek perspective, βάρβαροι are simply and just those who don't speak Greek, and not at all uncivilized people. This new paradigm of Greek Antiquity does not give anymore support to the self modern european image as the most civilized culture. The endlessly repeated expression, in schools and universities "we (modern western european) are Greek" is based on the nationalistic euphoria of the XIX century, that instrumentalized Old Greece for an ideologic purpose. Using a very strong frontal terminology, but absolutely true, S.Settis means that Greek were not racist or xenophobic. If "we are Greek" we do not underestimate the knowledge of much older civilizations like Indian or Chinese ones. On the contrary.

Where are independent higher education research centres specialising in TRUE Orthodox Christianity, not to be confused with Orthodox Christianity ? True Orthodox Christianity rejects the modernism with its roots in the Russian and earlier Revolutions, including the paracanonical (canonically impermissible) calendar reforms promulgated by incomplete Robber Synods starting with the Patriarchate of Constantinople in the 1920s and the genocide of True (aka Authentic, Genuine or Catacomb) Orthodox Christianity by modernist Orthodox Christianity, resulting ultimately in the response of the True Orthodox Christian 1983 Anathema against Ecumenism by the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (ROCOR) aka Russian Orthodox Church in Exile (ROCIE), embraced by all True, Authentic, Genuine and Catacomb Orthodox Christians. The True Orthodox genocide is numerically by far the greatest Christian martyrdom ever, with tens of millions in the former Russian Empire alone (a large majority of the 110 million "The Economist" estimates were murdered by the Soviet regime alone), was triggered by the refusal of the World Council of Churches, meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to allow a Greek True Orthodox bishop to speak about this matter, though the New York Times published his proposed address. In response the anathema was promulgated, in English, the WCC official language, at the ROCOR Synodical meeting at their monastery in Mansonville, Québec, also in Canada. Despite making up between 1 and 10% of the Orthodox Christian populations, in the broad sense of the term, throughout the world, I have been, even as an interested True Orthodox Christian, been unable to find any state recognised study centres devoted to the study of True Orthodox Christianity, as opposed to Orthodox Christianity. Some institutions, such as Cambridge University's Institute of Orthodox Christian Studies claim to have all locally active Orthodox Synods represented on their governing bodies, but didn't respond to my request for the publicly available details of the True Orthodox Christian Synods represented there. In any event, that Institute is not an Institute of TRUE Orthodox Christian studies.

Dear GIS users,

Does somebody know if there is a lidar coverage of western Greece available somewhere on the web? Both free and commercial would be fine.

Thanks in advance

When a large earthquake occurs, some structures show great damage and some of them collapse, resulting in human casualties.

If you ask a civil engineer he will tell you that today's constructions are anti-seismic designed.

If after the earthquake some constructions collapse and we have victims, the civil engineer who did the study and the contractor who built the project have problems.

They accuse the civil engineer of incomplete static design, and the contractor of stealing the materials.

Is that so or is something else to blame?

In this article I will try to explain the unbalanced factors that can lie down and the most modern seismic construction, with the best seismic design and the best materials.

I do this for two reasons.

First to dispel the myth that there is an absolute anti-seismic design today.

Secondly, so that civil engineers and contractors are not unfairly accused of not doing their job well.

A rough construction may not suffer anything and the adjacent anti-seismic design may collapse.

How does this happen?

Unstable and uncontrollable seismic factors.

1) Coordination

(Coordination in physics is the phenomenon in which in a forced oscillation the frequency of the exciter is equal to the eigenfrequency of the oscillator, resulting in maximizing the amplitude.

Each oscillator can oscillate in a frequency range.

The instantaneous excitation of an oscillator is equivalent to the efficiency in oscillation of a certain amount of energy. This is free oscillation which occurs at a frequency that is identical to the oscillator's own frequency. When the oscillation is forced, its frequency is the frequency of the exciter. When the exciter frequency is the same as the oscillator frequency we have tuning.

Frequency is the number of repetitions of an event per unit time. Frequency characterizes any physical quantity that changes periodically, that is, it repeats the same values ​​at regular intervals. object)

During tuning the system has the maximum possible width and the maximum possible energy. If there are no damping forces, then the amplitude of the oscillation becomes theoretically infinite. Thus, the oscillation can become so intense that the oscillator is destroyed. If the energy supply is higher, then there is a risk of damage to the oscillator. The glasses have a specific eigenfrequency, which can be heard if we just tap them once. If we emit sound at this frequency, then the glass will oscillate at maximum width until the width becomes too large for the strength of the glass and the glass will break. )

So the frequency of the earthquake is unknown;

The first thing we do not know is the frequency of the earthquake because each earthquake has its own different frequency.

The frequency of the building is proportional to its height.

See in the experiment how structures with different heights react at different frequencies, to understand why even the best constructions are destroyed while the others that do not have an anti-seismic design may not suffer anything.

2) Duration.

A construction can withstand high acceleration for a short time or small acceleration for a long time.

If the acceleration of the ground is great and the earthquake has a long duration, no construction will remain upright.

3) Acceleration.

It naturally expresses (or describes) the rate of change of a body's velocity (ie how quickly it changes its velocity, at a random point in time).

Acceleration is basically the variable speed of movement (back and forth) of the structure.

The bigger it is, the more destructive it becomes.

The acceleration that will reach the bottom of the structure (and ultimately the one that measures the risk of destruction) does not depend solely on the magnitude of the earthquake, because the epicenter of the earthquake may be far away so the acceleration that will reach the bottom of the structure is very small.

The soil composition that mediates between the epicenter and the structure is another factor that increases or decreases the acceleration and oscillation amplitude.

The soil agitates the acceleration 2 to 4 times more than the rock.

The constructions are designed to withstand from 0.16g up to 0.36g depending on the danger of the area, and the importance of the project.

Of course they can withstand greater acceleration up to 0.7g if the earthquake does not last and there is no coordination.

The largest earthquake that has occurred in Greece was of the order of 1g

The largest earthquake in the world was of 2.9g and took place in Chile.

Even the maximum acceleration given by seismologists for each area which determines the hazard index of an area and on which the seismic design of structures depends, can be incorrect more than 10%

So the next time you see disasters do not swear that the civil engineer and the contractor are to blame.

Earthquake design is also a matter of cost.

Poor countries can not afford the cost of complete seismic planning.

Something cheap and safe can only come from the anti-seismic design I propose which transfers an extra external force onto the construction, in order to control inelastic deformation.

Today's seismic constructions have exhausted the dynamics they can offer for the following reason.

To become stronger they must increase the volume of concrete and reinforcement.

Increasing the volume of concrete and reinforcement also increases the inertial tensions, so after a point and then it is a free gift.

The external force transmitted by the mechanism of the invention on the structure coming from the ground, is a force without mass so the dynamics of the structure increases without increasing the inertia intensities.

+ many more.

Measured experiment with a natural earthquake acceleration of 2.41g on a scale specimen bearing my patent.

The essay did not suffer the slightest failure.

Dear Researchers,

I am a doctoral student in Greece in the area of corporate governance, and currently, I study private family SMEs. In particular, my research is to examine their characteristics in relation to their performance and I want to focus is in a limited geographical area in Greece. While there is not an official database of SMEs in Greece, from the literature that I read, surveys and interviews are the most frequent method for data collection. What is your opinion about the data collection process and analysis and also the relevant corporate governance theory? What should I pay attention to in general on this issue? It would be a problem to focus on a limited geographical area?

Thank you in advance for your answers.

How do you respond to

After literature research I have concluded the main neoliberal policies and practices in education. I want to use them in order to search whether or which policy recomendations included in the document can be defined as neoliberal, as well as reveal the neoliberal ideology behind them. Afterwards I will use my findings to search whether and how they have been introduced in education policy in Greece.

In ancient Greece, a memorial stone or an inscription was made for the hero, I need books or papers on this subject.

I am doing my phd and I need data about Loans-to-deposit ratio, ROA, Cost-to-income ratio, Non-performing loans (Broken down in Consumer, Medium, Shipping etc. Non performing Loans) and Tier 1 (Capitalization) for all banks in the Eurozone (27) quarterly data and also for the four systemic banks of Greece. Does someone have access to Orbis Bankfocus?

I need localities, if possible with coordinates for this species in Hungary, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, Macedonia, Greece. The GBIF database looks to be rather poor.

Thank you in advance.

While in ancient Israel, in Mesopotamia, and in ancient Egypt they did not seem to have terms like liberty and freedom, these terms appeared in ancient Greece and Rome, around 500 B.C. (Eleutheria for Greece, Libertas for Rome). However, at this time slavery was common in all these countries and was contrary to our more recent notion of liberty, as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 clearly said: Article 3: Everyone has the right to life, liberty and the security of person. Article 4: No one shall be held in slavery and in servitude and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms. However, is this declaration always true everywhere?

When monotheistic religions became the main religious groups the notion of liberty took another signification. Only God can be free, and humans are under his jurisdiction. Eleutheria and libertas had no reason to exist and the only liberty for man is to accept this power of God.

More recently, Sartre in Existentialism is a humanism (1946) tries to go further and said: Everything is indeed permitted if God does not exist, and man is in consequence forlorn, for he cannot find anything to depend upon either within or outside himself. He discovers forthwith, that he is without excuse. For if indeed existence precedes essence, one will never be able to explain one’s action by reference to a given and specific human nature; in other words, there is no determinism—man is free, man is freedom. Nor, on the other hand, if God does not exist, are we provided with any values or commands that could legitimise our behaviour. Thus we have neither behind us, nor before us in a luminous realm of values, any means of justification or excuse. — We are left alone, without excuse. That is what I mean when I say that man is condemned to be free.

Finally, can the idea of distinguishing between positive and negative liberty solve this question? Positive liberty is the possibility of acting — or the fact of acting — in such a way as to take control of one's life and realize one's fundamental purposes. One has negative liberty to the extent that actions are available to one in the negative sense. Is there a third way to consider liberty?

There are many other questions that this notion can raise, and no solution seems for the moment accepted by all humans. Is a more scientific treatment of this notion able to solve these problems?

Dear researchers,

I have seen a lot of seismic impacts of buildings. What about the impacts at Wastewater Treatment Plants? Recently (October 30, 2020), great eqk Mw=6.9 struck the island Samos in Greece, having too many impacts at buildings. But I didn't see anywhere impacts at WTPs. Also, another important eqks in the past (as Athens eqk in 1999, etc) didn't refer impacts at WTPs. I find rarely impacts at WTPs in bibliography. What's the matter? What antiseismic regulations must these infrastructure apply?

I'm interested in the area of Mediterranean and especially Greece

I used the (IR) food ingestion rate (21.09 g/day for Turkish, and

81.1 g/day for Greek consumers, according to Speedy, 2003)

But I'm not sure it is right.

There is a small section of a beach south of Tiros, Greece where most of the gravel is made up of these marble-like stones.

While I was there suddenly several waves came ashore, but the sea was calm and no passing boats around. After awhile the waves stopped.

Have you observed a similar phenomenon elsewhere and how can you explain it?

I knew an exciting ritual in Greece, including the sacrifice of children, especially maimed them. Is there sources or studies on this topic .. Thank you for your help

Hi there,

my name is Panagiotis Koilakos and I am studying computer science in AUEB, Greece.

During an HCI(Human-Computer Interaction) course, we had to select a home device and try to beautify it through a better UI.

This is the final evaluation of the project and we would like some people to run the app and answer to a short questionnaire (we kept it short, promise!).

Here ( https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSctCd4jPMu1C1GA9V1dJevKzqrKsfUXfPpAqMYoAE2_Ci2fdw/viewform ) you may find the questionnaire (.exe can be downloaded from there - not the best option...I know).

Thanks very much anyone that spares 10 minutes to give a helping hand on finalizing this

Hello! I am lookinng to use a large brown bear telemetry dataset to create a standard distribution model using MaxEnt and Wallace (R package). I currently have over 50,000 GPS points from 17 different animals, gathered at different points in time, both collected in Greece. I am trying to figure out the best way of handling the data in terms of autocorrelation. I was wondering if any of you have any advice on how autocorrelation is tested and managed in such datasets for the creation of SDMs.

Firstly I am unsure whether checking and handling autocorrelation is at all necessary for SDMs given that what I am looking to create is a suitability model for bears in Greece - wouldn't larger use of an area correlate to higher suitability in this case? I don't want to end up thinning the data in a way that excludes these habitat preferences.

I was also unsure on how Spatial autocorrelation differs from Temporal autocorrelation in this case?

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Angeliki

Dear all,

My PhD study focuses on the experience of recovered addicts who work in social enterprises in Greece. I ‘m trying to discover and describe the factors that shape their experience (including job characteristics, daily routine, relationships, comparison with previous job positions, satisfaction/dissatisfaction factors, impact of social enterprise in the quality of life). In order to collect simultaneously both quantitative and qualitative data, I follow a pragmatic approach. That’s why in the interviews I use my own structured questionnaire consisting of closed and open-ended questions. My question is: can I use Thematic Analysis to analyze the answers to open-ended questions?

Here in Greece, I've found a perfect breeding place of them in the huge forest of Mt. Rhodopi, otherwise it's quite impossible to meet or trap it! On the photo are some females from my collection! What about your experiences with the females of this extraordinary species in your countries?

In Greece, it's invasive species and many times is asked what fish and other animals are eating Lagocephalus sp.?

If you know from other areas like Indian ocean, please share it.

I found this species from the lagoon of Klisova (Messolonghi, W. Greece). It is flagellated with 2 isokont flagella (not shown here). Can it be identified?

Cadmus, a Phoenician, went to Greece having with him the alphabet and founded a city by the name of Thebes. Thebes was an ancient Egyptian capital city at one time. Cadmus was not an Egyptian.

1) What I am introducing as new to the science of earthquake technology, and at last you start to understand it, is that it is wrong when you just place the construction on the ground.

When there is no combination of compound of the soil with the construction, all the inertia tensions are converted into turns - torques and transferred to the cross sections of the bearing elements, of the beam, of the column, and of the slab.

2) When there is construction and ground consolidation, all inertia tensions are diverted and driven into the ground and not over the cross sections that are currently being sent.

3) There is a big difference from consolidation, in, consolidation.

a) By screwing the base of a small and square cross-section of the column with the ground the benefit is small.

b) If we screw on both sides, the base of an elongated wall with the ground the benefit is too much.

c) By screwing together the upper edges of an elongated wall with the ground, the benefit is unimaginably even greater.

d) If we screw on both sides, at each corner, all the upper edges of a building, made entirely of reinforced concrete, with the ground, we get the greatest benefit we can have.

The reason is simple, it has to do with the lever arm, and the elasticity.

Many thanks in advance

Hello everybody,

I am looking for a specific cell line HT22 but I haven't found any company that could import it in Greece. Has anyone faced that problem before? Is there any alternative way that we could get it?

Thank you in advance.

In ancient Greece, hoplite gained Kleos, glory, by dying in battle. If they were so injured that they could no longer fight, they would not be named on their tomb, therefore gaining no kleos. What kind of reception did they have when they returned to the polis, alive but no more fighter? Did the psyche of the particular polis affect this reception? Comparing the democracy of Athens with the military camp mentality of Sparta.

Good evening.

Please take into consideration some thoughts about your interesting paper.

The bibliography and the references are not enough for a complex ecoomic case like the greek one.

Maybe you should take into mind the culture of the greeks and some unique phenomena related to social behaviour. For example after 8 years of austerity, greeks have one of the best ratios of owing an iPhone smartphone in Europe, no matter the economic poverty.

By the way, a study to our work about tax behaviour in the case of Greece, will be useful for your paper.

In addition, if European Union is wrong about the commands in economic greek policy, you should offer a new alternative proposal.

If you relate the economic problem in Greece with the ones of greek society, I think you will have a better view about Greek economy and the future prospects.

Finally, I'd like to congratulate you for your interest about the greek economic case that certainly will change the concept of economic handbooks in the near future.

Sincerely.

I have been well surprised by the great number of active Iraqi scientists in this network. I ask them to comment on this question.

I am extremely curious and congratulations by their resilience and endurance! If Greece gave us science, Iraqi gave us civilization!

I have collected a lot of specimens, drown in a small pool at the Pantokrator Peak, at the yard of the monastery (together with many other insects, and some spiders).

In Greece, many islands and mountains are being developed as industrial mega-wind farms. This creates conflicts, especially when the projects are sited in protected areas and areas of outstanding aesthetic value or tourism interests. So I am interested in how to track this in Greece. Please can anyone help?

I am looking to apply the method of Protest Event Analysis to my Masters dissertation on women's social movements and gender inequality. The literature I have looked at so far only mentions teams of researchers applying this method. Is it possible for a single researcher to use this, or is it near impossible due to the workload?

I understand the tropics are the most ideal places for biodiversity and a large amount of fungi. Rainforests and oceans can also be ideal places however I was considering Greece and Italy due to the high humidity and the amount of biodiversity. Before I dump thousands of dollars into this trip I would like to receive some advice from the experts on whether or not this might be one of the most promising locations?

Can you help?

I found this terrestrial flatworm in Crete. After some search, I think it is Caenoplana bicolor

Strategic physiognomy encompasses an act of observing personality traits of the individual(s) from facial appearances or features, dating back from Ancient Greece and continues to be popular in making decisions and judgments

I am an Indian PhD student from the field of Entomology at Agricultural University of Athens, Greece. I am also going to do a molecular biology part. Now I need to get my RNA Sequencing done by a company. But they are charging 600 Euros per sample, since I have 6 samples, I am supposed to pay 3600 Euros. Can somebody suggest me what shall I do? Its really a huge amount for a student.

Unknown stratigraphic position, found in scree deposits in western Greece. Jurassic up to Eocene carbonate successions is the source for the scree. Conglomerate or breccious limestones are reffered and have been observed only in the middle-late Cretaceous interval, which is not in accordance with early-Jurassic extinct order of the Spiriferida. What else can it be? Expert opinions?

It gives me great pleasure to inform you that the Malaysian Association of Applied Linguistics International Conference (MAALIC) 2018 will be held at the Asia-Europe Institute, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 3rd to 4thDecember 2018. The theme of the conference is Applied Linguistics and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Language, Communication and the Professions. 

This conference provides an opportunity to explore how language and communication in a multiplicity of languages and settings is vital in achieving these universal sustainable development goals.It also aims to provide a platform for the sharing of ideas and to promote research collaboration between applied linguists and the working professionals.

Does anybody know how I could collect data of football clubs in Greece (profitability, e.t.c.) ? Except balance sheets which only few of them have been published. What other courses could be helpful on that goal?

Any companies like fsc or similar to rainforest alliance

Hello! I am looking for a city that is situated on one of the tropicals or that experiences a tropical climate that has a similar geomorphology as my hometown of Athens, Greece for a possible comparative study for my dissertation. Athens is nested in a plateau surrounded by 3 mountains and lies near the sea. It's elevation range according to wikipedia is 70.1m to 338m. Thank you in advance!

On Cyprus we are now nearly certain of a collapse and extinction (see attached). We have extirpation evidence from some basins in Greece and river water bodies of Greece as well. Has anybody described this decline. Can the species re-colonise through marine waters?

Warmest regards to all researchers working on this interesting species! 

The wars between Persia and Greece are usually portrayed as a struggle between occident and orient, with Greek's defeat of Persia beginning the idea of Europe as separate from Asia, with its own peculiar destiny, talents and perspective. Can you challenge this?

Europe is just a penniusular of Asia made up of different groups and cultures, as with all large areas inhabited by the human race. I tend to see Greece as a perifery culture of Asia, which I believe is more realistic than seeing it as inseperably culturally connected to German, Balkan and Scythian tribes or peoples then inhabitating most of Europe. Ancient Greece was I feel an anomaly although its occasional democratic forms can be found also in later German tribes.

Lastly, what would have occurred had the Persians won? Your views.....

Reading the Greek Orthodox or Ethiopian text, we understand that this women after becoming Pauls student, she also taught with him. In Greece and other places Paul taught there are temples and churches in her honor, yet the Cannon writers thought to leaver her out. I am amazed at how much was taught and believed before the male centric writers removed the deeds of so many women.

Three researchers from Ethiopia, Uganda and Kenya are planing to write a proposal that will be submitted for potential donors and to this effect we are looking for a northern partner with a background/ expertise of labor or migration. Hence we appreciate if any one can positively respond to our call.

Hi.

I am an Assistant Professor in Clinical Psychology and intered in this topic.

Have you collected data from Greece?

I could help...

All the best

The calcite/aragonite samples from the Middle Norian to Carnian Kalamos beds of the HP/LT metamorphic Quartzite-Phyllite supergroup I have collected and sent to University Frankfurt, Gernold Zulauf, are hydrothermal boudin interstitial carbonates.

Thanks for a contact

I need natural gas indicators and GDP data for Greece, (the data  and the methodological tools used for the type of analysis) .

It is some 25 cm tall, gray-green, somehow rough.

The diameter of the fruiting pappus is 10 mm.

It comes from the island Symi (SE Aegean Sea).

It is a runner. Flower heads seem globular rather than cylindrical, 5 mm across, flower colour could be orange or reddish but I do not remember. The leaves are less than 15 mm long. It was collected from an arid place in Symi island (SE Aegean Sea).

Both Greece and Cyprus were hit hard in the past on the financial markets. The approaches to deal with this were different in many ways. What can we learn about the effectiveness of measures used in their cases? Post-factum, could other solutions have worked better?

Hello,

I guess we have all heard about the ongoing tragic and worsening situation in Greece since 2008 for a large fraction of the population there and for refugees from Europe and elsewhere who ended up in Greece.

I am no socio-economic or political  expert but I gather that the number of people living in  precarity has soared there. I have certainly met benevolent social workers  who shared stories of despair that are hard to forget.

Greece is afflicted by a range of natural hazards and risks of disasters. It has a recurrent and documented history of such disasters.

I am wondering to what extent it is still possible for Greek scientists and/or the international community to suitably anticipate and monitor for those potential disasters and to suitably prepare for a disaster response, considering the ongoing and arguably worsening (?) situation in Greece ?

I am thinking about large forest fires (and eg. resulting biodiversity loss and atmospheric pollution), severe thunderstorms, land erosion, flash floods and mud flows on the one hand, and of tectonic earthquake and volcanic eruption hazards that may also lead to a tsunami risk in the Mediterranean on the other hand.

With the situation in Greece, aren't the vulnerabilities and the risks of impacts from such potential disasters much greater in Greece, and for some of these hazards for the European-Mediterranean regions ?

Has anyone studied how vulnerability of the Greece population to such eventualities may have increased since 2008 ?

Has anyone studied how the risks themselves for a given disaster scenario may have increased considering increased vulnerabilities and other changes in the structure of the Greece socio-politico-economic systems ?

Tectonic earthquakes from the Aegean arc submarine faults in Greece could trigger a tsunami affecting the Mediterranean region.

Can the adequate monitoring and disaster preparedness efforts still be pursued at the present time ?

And if not, what may be the wide-ranging impacts ?

The unmonitored active shallow-marine Kolumbos Bank Volcano (6km to NE of Santorini volcano) erupted explosively in 1650 AD. If it erupts again in a similar way, what may be the risk of an impact for international air traffic similar to that which related to the Eyjafjallajokull 2010 eruptions ?

What may be the tsunami risks in the Mediterranean  if the Kolumbos Bank volcano erupted explosively again ?

So to sum up, I am wondering if socio-economic-political changes in Greece since 2008 have affected vulnerability, resilience and risks for a diversity of disaster scenarios ? And also who may have studied aspects of this ?

I am also wondering to what extent scientists in Greece and elsewhere can continue to adequately monitor for, anticipate, research, sensitize for, , and generally prepare for such disasters occurring in Greece ?

And if it is the case that  the Greek scientists have difficulties continuing their work (?), to what extent the European Commission and international negociators on debt alleviation in Greece may have taken such considerations into account ?

Is this not the sort of situation making the ground much more fertile for much-enhanced impacts of geo-disasters ? Including for some that may affect much of Europe or the  Mediterranean Countries ?

Anyhow, a whole series of inter-related questions there.

I am wondering what colleagues think of all this and if some of you may have elements of answer to some of these questions ?

Many thanks in advance for any insights.

With best wishes and kindest regards,

Gerald

Without forming a national central bank of its own, and thus reestablishing its own currency, how can Greece escape neo-liberal structural adjustment?

I'm currently doing my PhD research on sites in Greece and in Petra with ceramic roof tiles as my main material. Tracking down published examples of Roman period tiles in the eastern provinces is extremely difficult, since they are so sporadically published. Can you please let me know if you know of any published examples? Late Hellenistic or Late Roman/Early Byzantine examples will also be of interest. Thank you!

After briefly presenting the profile of the company, the assignment analyzes the external and internal environment, paying attention to the factors that affect their business, as well as the sources of its competitive advantages. Following these, a hypothetic case is analyzed, whereby a new low-cost retailer enters the fast-food industry in Greece.

The scenario of the case discussed in this assignment suggests, a new low-cost retailer enters the fast-food industry in Greece, which obviously affects the business of Goody’s. 

 It was found in Greece on the road. 

Turkic peoples have invaded Greece many times since the Hunnic period. These invasions were repeated by the Avars, Ogurs, Bulgars, Pechenegs, Cumans, Oguzs and finally the Ottomans. What has been the sociolinguistic impacts of these invasions on Greece?

Need assistance.

I work with molluscs (mainly gastropods) of hard bottom areas (< 30m depth) in Crete, South Aegean, Greece.

What I face during my identification work of the specimens is that I have lots of juveniles ( > 75% are juveniles). How should I manage them ? Keep them as sp. or try to give a name using the close adults that are in the samples?
