Εκπαίδευση και αναπηρία
No full textΣε κάθε δημοκρατικά ευνομούμενη Πολιτεία το δικαίωμα ισότιμης πρόσβασης και συμμετοχής των ατόμων με αναπηρία στην ευρύτερη κοινωνική, οικονομική, πολιτική και πολιτιστική ζωή της χώρας αποτελεί καίριο ζήτημα. Προκειμένου όμως να επιτύχει το άτομο με αναπηρία την προσωπική του ανέλιξη μέσα στο κοινωνικό σύνολο απαιτείται να δεχτεί την κατάλληλη εκπαίδευση. Σε αυτό το πλαίσιο, η ποιοτική αναβάθμιση της εκπαίδευσης των ατόμων με αναπηρία οφείλει να επικεντρώνεται στην ανάπτυξη ενός «Σχολείου για Όλους», μέσα στο οποίο κάθε μαθητής θα μπορεί να αναπτύσσει ισόρροπα την προ

Report on the development/structure/validation of the GREFOS v2 model
Get PDFThis manuscript presents the forest dynamics simulation model GREFOS v2. The original version of the model is a descendant of ForClim (Bugmann and Cramer, 1998; Fyllas et al. 2007). GREFOS v2 builds upon developments of an earlier version of the model (Fyllas & Troumbis 2009) in addition to the detailed regeneration algorithm described in Fyllas et al. 2010. It is a model developed to simulate the dynamics of Mountainous Mediterranean Forest and it specifically parameterised for the dominant tree species found in Greece and the eastern part of the Mediterranean Basi
Report on the development of the DGVMs
Get PDFThis report presents the evaluation of an existing Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) under Mediterranean climatic conditions and vegetation characteristics, and the developments made to a hybrid model in order to be applicable to Mediterranean and Mountainous Mediterranean Forests, both at the local and the regional scales. These activities are based on the use of data gathered in MEDIT's project Working Package 4. Although the data assimilation Work Package of the project (WP4) has not yet been completed, part of the MEDIT dataset developed there has been used both to parameterize and validate the selected model

Bacteria isolated from the deep-sea hydrothermal field of Kolumbo submarine volcano: a potential source of new bioactive compounds
Get PDFThe marine environment has emerged as a key source of natural product drug leads. Screening unique organisms from rare or extreme ecosystems is a proven approach to discover novel compounds with important biological effects. Deep-sea hydrothermal vents are among the most dynamic and extreme environments on Earth. Because unique microbial organisms inhabit the regions near these vents, there is a strong likelihood that new bioactive small-molecule natural products will be discovered, given that it is well established that chemical diversity is directly proportional to biological diversity. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV) exploration of Kolumbo submarine volcano (500 m depth) in the Aegean Sea revealed a very active high-temperature hydrothermal vent field, emitting colourless gas plumes with temperatures recorded as high as 220°C. (Fig. 1) The goal of this study was to screen cultured vent mesophilic bacteria (Fig. 2) for antimicrobial activity
Experimental study of the turbulent structure of the surface marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer over the Aegean Pelagos under etesian winds
Get PDFIn order to study the physical processes of the turbulent transportation of mass and energy within the surface Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer over the Aegean Pelagos, field measurements were conducted on the island of Skyros, mainly under the etesian winds, during summer 2011. Α meteorological mast was installed close to the shoreline, instrumented with fast anemometer (sonic) and hydrometer measuring the three components of the wind, the virtual temperature and water vapor at 10m height with a sampling frequency of 20Hz. At the same mast slow response sensors were measuring wind speed and direction, temperature and humidity at three levels (2, 6 and 10 m). Weak stable to near neutral flows were recorded during the experimental period. The eddy correlation analysis re-vealed the momentum and heat fluxes values which are presented and discussed. The estimated values are related both with stability and wind speed variations
Statistical estimations of the number of future ozone exceedances due to climate change in Europe
Get PDFA statistical model to examine the potential impact of increasing future temperatures due to climate change on ozone exceedances (days with daily maximum 8 h average ≥ 60 ppb) is developed for Europe. We employ gridded observed daily maximum temperatures and hourly ozone observations from nonurban stations across Europe, together with daily maximum temperatures for 2021–2050 and 2071–2100 from three regional climate models, based on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Special Reports on Emissions Scenarios A1B scenario. A rotated principal components analysis is applied to the ozone stations yielding five principal components, which divide the study domain in five subregions. The historical ozone-temperature relationship is examined and then used to provide estimates of future ozone exceedance days under current emissions and under the assumption that this relationship will retain its main characteristics. Results suggest that increases in the upper temperature percentiles lead to statistically significant increases (95% statistical significance level) of the ozone exceedances for both future periods. The greatest average increases depending on the particular regional climate model range from 5 to 12 extra ozone days/yr for 2021–2050 and from 16 to 25 for 2071–2100, in southeast Europe. The lowest average increases range from 0 to 2 extra ozone days/yr for 2021–2050 and from 2 to 4 for 2071–2100 and are seen in northwest Europe. The simulations with the dynamical Goddard Institute of Space Studies/GEOS-CHEM climate chemistry modeling system shows decreases instead of increases in eastern Europe, higher increases in northwest Europe, whereas for the other subregions similar results to the statistical model are obtained

Get PDFWe present a study on Titan’s possibly cryovolcanic and varying regions as suggested from previous studies [e.g. 1;2;7]. These regions, which are potentially subject to change over time in brightness and are located close to the equator, are Tui Regio, Hotei Regio, and Sotra Patera. We apply two methods on Cassini/VIMS data in order to retrieve their surface properties and monitor any temporal variations. First, we apply a statistical method, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) [3;4] where we manage to isolate regions of distinct and diverse chemical composition called ‘Region of interest – RoI’. Then, we focus on retrieving the spectral differences (with respect to the Huygens landing site albedo) among the RoIs by applying a radiative transfer code (RT) [5;3]. Hence, we are able to view the dynamical range and evaluate the differences in surface albedo within the RoIs of the three regions. In addition, using this double procedure, we study the temporal surface variations of the three regions witnessing albedo changes with time for Tui Regio from 2005-2009 (darkening) and Sotra Patera from 2005-2006 (brightening) at all wavelengths [3]. The surface albedo variations and the presence of volcanic-like features within the regions in addition to a recent study [6] that calculates Titan's tidal response are significant indications for the connection of the interior with the cryovolcanic candidate features with implications for the satellite’s astrobiological potential
