The state of modern Greek language as spoken in Victoria
No full textDeposited with permission of the author. © 1986 Dr. Anastasios TamisThis thesis reports a sociolinguistic study, carried out between 1981 and 1984, of the state of the Modern Greek (MG) language in Australia, as spoken by native-speaking first-generation Greek immigrants in Victoria. Particular emphasis is given to the analysis of those characteristics of the linguistic behaviour of these Greek Australians which can be attributed to the contact with English and to other environmental, social and linguistic influence.

The national and international capital market as a vehicle of horizontal expansiveness of environment policy or sustainable policy
No full textThis PhD Thesis aims at defining and theoretically sustaining critical arguments, that may persuade Greek financial organizations as well as the capital market that they have the potential to play a leading role in favor of general policies for environmental or sustainable management in financial strategy of firms and market. Furthermore, the empirical research of this Thesis may be considered as an attempt to lead the way to the establishment of a new field of scientific endeavor , that will focus on the incorporation of Environmental - Sustainable Policies in the financial strategies of firms and market.Ο βασικός στόχος της παρούσας διατριβής είναι να διαμορφώσει και να τεκμηριώσει επαρκή επιχειρήματα που θα αναδείξουν μια νέα πειστική επιστημονική προοπτική για τη δυνατότητα του συνόλου της αγοράς κεφαλαίου να παίξει ενεργό ρόλο στην προώθηση ολοκληρωμένων καθολικών πολιτικών αειφορικής ή περιβαλλοντικής διαχείρισης τόσο σε διεθνές όσο και σε εθνικό επίπεδο.Επιπλέον, το εμπειρικό τμήμα της έρευνας επιδιώκει να συντελέσει στη δημιουργία του πρώτου βήματος για να εγκαινιαστεί ένα ευρύτερο ερευνητικό πεδίο που θα συνδέεται με την ενσωμάτωση και την επίδραση πολιτικών αειφορικής ή περιβαλλοντικής διαχείρισης στην χρηματοοικονομική στρατηγική των επιχειρήσεων και του συνόλου της αγοράς
New historical evidence for Anastasios Emm. Papas
No full textNo AbstractThe author’s attention has been drawn to the existence of this historicalevidence in the National Archives of Vienna, by his friend the writer EteoclesGregoriadis together with the numbers of the relevant files. Most of the documents were written in the old German script. Thus the author asked for the help of his friend and former colleague at the University of Thessaloniki and director of the Goethe Institute, Graf Kurt v. Posadowsky, for reading andstudying those documents. Without his help this study would have been impossible. This new evidence concerns the sojourn of Anastasios Papas·—son of Emmanuel Papas, leading figure of the Greek Revolution—in Austria andGermany between the 3rd January and 11th March 1822. There is informationabout his short imprisonment in Trieste, after his arival from Vienna. He then visits various towns in Germany and after negotiations with the Philhellene professor Fr. Thiersch in Munich, he purchases large quantities of ammunition to be despatched to Greece. He finally arrives in Greece early in 1824, and takes part—together with his three brothers who were already fighting—in the struggle for the liberation of the common great fartheland
Exploring Digital Transformation Intensity and Its Relationship with Sustainability: Greek Managers’ Perspectives
No full textThe digital transformation process gained significant research interest in recent years especially related to achievements in sustainability goals. Even though there exists growing research regarding various aspects of digital transformation and sustainability procedures, a more detailed analysis is needed in different national environments. The proposed study empirically analyzes the Greek managers’ perspective on the relationship between digital transformation intensity and sustainability practices implemented. Almost 156 Greek senior managers from various organizational sectors were interviewed, while a synthetic index already developed from previous studies was used. Results indicate that Greek companies do not fully exploit digital technologies to further develop their environmental practices. A digital transformation strategy contributes effectively to environmental strategies in the case of reducing emissions of waste and avoiding environmental accidents, while in the rest of the cases, emerging technologies play a less important role and not as a part of a holistic digital strategy
A Proposed Circular Economy Model for Hospital Bio-Waste Management in Municipal Settings
No full textThis paper presents a proposed circular economy (CE) model for hospital bio-waste management, using Athens as a case study to demonstrate its applicability in urban environments. The model incorporates waste segregation at the source, resource recovery methods such as composting and anaerobic digestion, and data-driven tools to enhance the efficiency and sustainability of healthcare waste management. The study investigates the transition from linear to CE practices, focusing on structured collection strategies, collaborative efforts between hospitals and municipal authorities, and continuous tracking of waste flows. A comprehensive analysis of bio-waste volumes from participating hospitals over a three-year period is conducted, utilizing multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) tools such as TOPSIS to evaluate the system’s effectiveness. The results indicate a significant increase in hospital participation, improved waste separation, and optimized resource recovery, offering a scalable framework for other municipalities seeking to implement CE-based waste management practices in healthcare settings
Innovative Strategies for Bio-Waste Collection in Major Cities during the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Comprehensive Model for Sustainable Cities—The City of Athens Experience
No full textThis paper introduces an innovative model for the organization and management of municipal bio-waste collection networks in major cities, particularly relevant in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Embracing circular economy principles and sustainable city practices, the proposed model addresses the urgent need for sustainable urban bio-waste management systems. Delving into the dynamic urban landscape, with a focus on the city of Athens, the study highlights the necessity of a robust decision-making methodology, the implementation of resilient processes, and the evaluation of their efficacy, especially during challenging times. The model centers on the effective collection, transportation, and monitoring of bio-waste, with a strategic aim to moderate environmental impacts, limit greenhouse gas emissions, and advance sustainable development goals. Utilizing the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method, this paper thoroughly examines critical components of an innovative bio-waste collection network, including infrastructure, technology, and human resources. By merging best practices from global urban centers and accounting for the unique characteristics of Athens, the model envisions a transition toward a circular economy. Notably, the proposed municipal bio-waste collection network at the source anticipates substantial contributions to achieving Sustainable Development Goals in major cities. The study concludes by showcasing the successful application of these methodologies in the Municipality of Athens, providing tangible evidence of their positive impact
