Dispatches from Greece: ‘‘We were sleeping as Individuals and we woke up as Citizens’’

The universalistic understanding of the subject embedded in the Liberal and Marxist traditions together with contrasting accounts of unconstrained agency fail to explain the contingencies of ground responses that call for social change. The paper makes a case for the opening of the understanding of the human subject when placed in the theoretical terrain of radical political philosophy elaborated

Multicriteria Evaluation in Real Estate Land-use Suitability Analysis: The case of Volos, Greece

The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into real estate analysis has long been considered an interesting interdisciplinary pursuit, but has yet to become mainstream. Despite the increasing academic focus over the last twenty years, this endeavour has mostly been approached from the scientific side of Geography. Inversely, such focus from the real estate sector remains marginal. No

Reconstruction of holocene lake-level changes in lake Xinias, central Greece

A study of past lake-level changes in Lake Xinias covering the last 40 000 years was presented in an earlier paper. In that paper.. changes during the Holocene were only briefly dealt with. because of poor sedimentary representation. In this paper a Supplementary transect of cores is described, in which Holocene lake-level changes are better recorded. The correlation of the cores was based on poll

Quantifying dire evacuations in case of wildfire using trigger boundaries and case study of the 2018 Mati wildfire in Greece

Wildfire evacuation is a life-saving measure of last resort, but delays can lead to dire outcomes, putting people at risk of fire entrapment. The success or failure of an evacuation depends on the relative speeds of the wildfire and the evacuation, and this varies across communities and wildfires. Despite the importance of understanding this dynamic, no formal framework exists to define or quantif

Civic culture and informal media uses: Poles and Greeks discussing “free culture”

The article begins from critical accounts addressing the crisis of politics and citizenship today, to study the civic potential that several media and social scholars view in informal practices that include the usage of new media and information and communication technologies. On one hand, new media and ICT are noted to empower individual users and groups, to provide spaces of voice and debate and

Combining ASTER multispectral imagery analysis and support vector machines for rapid and cost-effective post-fire assessment : A case study from the Greek wildland fires of 2007

Remote sensing is increasingly being used as a cost-effective and practical solution for the rapid evaluation of impacts from wildland fires. The present study investigates the use of the support vector machine (SVM) classification method with multispectral data from the Advanced Spectral Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) for obtaining a rapid and cost effective post-fire assessment in a

Use of Satellite Remote Sensing for Detecting Archaeological Features: An Example from Ancient Corinth, Greece

During the last few decades, satellite remote sensing has proven to be an important non-invasive method for archaeological research in order to detect ancient sites and manage existing ones. Archaeologists have tried in the recent past to embed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and image processing techniques in their research as non-destructive approaches, which can allow a wider perception o

PUBLIC PERCEPTIONS ABOUT NATO BRAND: THE CASE OF GREEK GENERATION Z

During the 21st century, public diplomacy and branding received a new angle and application closely related with the meaning of securitization. Even though the importance of this meaning, researchers nowadays notice a research gap considering the three above-mentioned fields. NATO, as a popular security brand, represents an under-researched sui generis organization that gets involved with securiti
