Simmons, Daniela. "Social Participation and Depression Among Elderly People in Greece." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2015. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc848194/.
Full textAbstract:
The researcher had two objectives: first, explore how social involvement changes by age among Greek elderly, and second, examine the relationship between social involvement and depression by age among study participants, controlled for education, marital status, and gender. The researcher used data from the 2004 Survey of Health, Aging, and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) database subjecting a sample of 2,898 elderly aged 50 or older to analysis in terms of the study questions. Approximately 43% of the participants (n = 1,244) were males and 57% were females (n = 1,654).
Study results showed Greek elderly participated more in religious activities and less in non-religious activities with increasing age. The study results showed the level of education did not have an effect on the level of religious or non-religious participation. Marital status could influence Greeks’ tendency to participate in religious activities, however, it did not have an effect on non-religious participation. Women are more likely to participate in religious activities than the men. The gender of the participants did not have an effect on non-religious participation. Older Greek elderly were more likely to be depressed than the younger elderly. Participation in religious activities was not shown to relate to decreasing the risk of depressive symptoms; while participation in non-religious activities increased it. Further elaboration showed that caring for family increased the risk of depressive symptoms. Participation in other non-religious activities did not show significant relationships to depressive symptoms.
The study findings imply those caring for others are in need of social and mental health support services; and the quality of available social activities need significant improvement.

Athanasiou, Helen. "Working together to protect children : a case study of policy implementation in Greece." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2016. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/3516/.
Full textAbstract:
This is an exploratory case study aiming to describe the current state of the child protection system in Greece by examining both policy interventions and service responses targeted at all the stages of the phenomenon, ranging from detection and investigation to the provision of support or out of home care. This thesis is embedded in EU and international mandates for protecting children, embracing the Convention for the Rights of the Child as the starting point and value base of any developed, contemporary system designed to deal with this complex phenomenon. The main objective is to paint a picture of policy implementation in conjunction with front line interagency and multidisciplinary working. Data is collected and analysed in regards to all three levels; the macro, or policy level; the meso, or organisational/structural level and the micro, or frontline, professional, case specific, grassroots level. The researcher uses first-hand knowledge of the systems of both England and Greece in order to position Greece within the EU continuum of approaches based on the long-standing dilemma of support versus protection. As a result, the study concludes by offering suggestions on how to overcome barriers and improve the current situation in Greece so as to ensure that vulnerable children and their families receive appropriate and adequately designed services that would potentially enhance their life chances and enable better outcomes. This is achieved by distilling lessons to be learned from other more developed systems and adopting them to the Greek reality. This is an opportune moment for such a study as there is significant international movement towards convergence, which advocates unifying responses to such complex social phenomena and utilising international evidence of good practice.

Skianis, Vasileios. "The influence of nature on secondary school students' subjective well-being in England and Greece." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2013. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/753/.
Full textAbstract:
The main aim of this thesis is to investigate the potential benefits of affiliation with nature on British and Greek secondary school students’ positive functioning, and the variations in relation to climate and geography conditions. Particular emphasis is given on the role of schools' environmental education programs and activities. Following the contemporary positive psychology theory, we have focused on two main well-being conceptualizations: (i) the hedonic (or so-called subjective well-being), i.e. life satisfaction/happiness, and (ii) the eudaimonic, i.e. personal growth/flourishing life. A wide range of objective and subjective indicators have been used to represent various environmental parameters. The subjective indicators include students’ perceptions about the surrounding environment, their experiential exposure to nature (participation in outdoor sports, excursions to nature, etc.), environmental attitudes, values and knowledge, while the objective indicators assess the local climate and geographical characteristics, such as average annual temperature, wind and precipitation, altitude, distance from sea, rural vs. urban areas, and local environmental conditions, such as air pollution, proximity to heavy industries and airports, and proximity to areas of outstanding natural beauty. The study employs a quantitative survey approach (paper and internet based) to collect cross-sectional data from various lower and upper secondary schools across the two countries. A sample of 3614 students (aged between 14 and 19 years old) from 94 Greek secondary schools and 527 students (aged between 12 and 19 years old) from 15 English secondary schools have been collected during the academic years 2010-2011 and 2011-2012. The statistical analysis is mainly based on OLS and ordered logistic regressions with clustered standard errors, to control for intraclass correlation among the respodents. The findings highlight the significant effect of connectedness with nature on subjective and eudaimonic well-being, and the beneficial role of environmental education in promoting overall life satisfaction, school satisfaction and eudaimonia, either directly or indirectly through the enhancement of connectedness with nature.

Shea, Jonathan. "The late Byzantine city : social, economic and institutional profile." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2010. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/1374/.
Full textAbstract:
This study aims to contribute to the discussion of late Byzantine urban centres by researching four important cities for which written, archaeological and numismatic sources are available, and by creating a profile for each. Conclusions drawn from the study of Monemvasia, Ioannina, Arta and Thessalonike have then been used to draw a wider picture about late Byzantine cities in general. The period 1204-1460 saw the territorial collapse of the Byzantine Empire, followed by its partial reconstitution and then final fall. The political fragmentation of the Balkans and an increasingly integrated Mediterranean economy placed the Byzantine city at the heart of the politics and the economy of its region, and connected it to the wider world more than at any time since the seventh century. The profile of cities such as Monemvasia, Ioannina, Arta and Thessalonike was shaped by their function both as centres of wealth and international trade, and the residence of the imperial administration and the provincial elite. The study is divided into four chapters, each dedicated to a particular city. Each chapter analyses the politics, built environment, society, population, privileges and economy of the individual urban unit, and combines each section to draw conclusions. The concluding chapter of the thesis highlights common trends and developments in the socio-economic profiles of the four cities, and makes more general observations about late Byzantine urban civilization.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis proposes to evaluate the impact of factors such as trade, circumscribed resources, and growing militarism upon the development of social complexity in LBA Argolis, and to what extent these factors may be invoked as triggering mechanisms--or prime movers--in the rise of palatial society in the Argive plain towards the end of the 15th century B.C., during the LH III A-B period.It is argued that the most plausible model for the rise of palatial society in LBA Argolis is one which acknowledges the interrelations and processes of feedback between these factors, of which trade and militarism may have been original motivating factors.
Finally, it is suggested that the need to organize resource procurement and distribution were instrumental in the emergence of the Mycenaean palatial centers of LBA Argolis.

Pittaki, Zoi. "Walking a tightrope : business, the tax system and tax conscience in Greece, 1955-1989." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2017. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/8028/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the interaction between business and the system of taxation in Greece, from the mid-1950s to the late-1980s. The key finding is that the system of taxation was one of the components of the Greek economic environment that was posing difficulties to business and was perceived by entrepreneurs as an obstacle to their activities. The issues explored are a series of administrative weaknesses of the system, such as the insufficient organisation and bureaucratic rigidities of the tax services, the complexity and constant alterations of the tax laws, but also the problematic relations with the tax officers, who were often accused to be lacking in training, arbitrary in their decisions and sometimes also corrupt. This study contributes to the current debates about the Greek economy and the causes of the crisis affecting the country. In this respect, it also throws light on the big issue of tax evasion burdening the country’s fiscal system. However, the research also belongs to the wider literature examining entrepreneurship from a business history perspective, to that focusing on the relation between entrepreneurship and institutions, to the debates regarding the ways entrepreneurship is affected by the socio-political and economic environment but also to institutional analyses about taxation. The thesis comprises of an introductory chapter, five main chapters and a conclusion. The introductory chapter presents the topic and its importance and analyses the theoretical basis on which the study is sustained. It also refers to the primary sources and the secondary material used in the thesis. The first one of the main chapters offers key information about the system of taxation, the political system and the system of public administration in Greece. The next four chapters examine disadvantages of the tax system such as the complexity of legislation and the insufficient organisation of the tax services, presenting also entrepreneurs’ perceptions about the effects of such disadvantages. The analysis also presents the voices of other parts of society, such as politicians, tax professionals and ordinary citizens, with regards to such disadvantages and the broader dysfunctionality of the tax system. The conclusion chapter suggests a series of possible reforms that could be implemented in order to improve the functioning of the tax system today. It also analyses the ways in which this thesis contributes to Greek historiography, to institutional analyses about taxation, but also to the literature concerning the interaction between institutions and entrepreneurship and more precisely, the interaction between entrepreneurship and taxation.

Foskolos, Konstantinos. "The acceptability and efficacy of a brief universal preventive parenting intervention for child behavioural and emotional disorders." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2014. http://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:cb6b28fb-12ad-4e81-b6d3-2134f7dfaec8.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the acceptability and efficacy of a brief universal preventive parenting intervention for child behavioural and emotional difficulties. The methodology included a systematic review, a literature review, a pilot randomised controlled trial and focus group discussions. The systematic review aimed to show whether behavioural and emotional difficulties are a significant problem in Greece. Greek children appeared to display high scores on, and prevalence of behavioural problems, compared to children from other countries. The results suggested that, based on parental reports, Greece seems to have a high prevalence in child behavioural and emotional difficulties. The literature review explored the effectiveness of universally delivered Triple P preventive interventions and identified research gaps. There was also insufficient evidence on the effectiveness of brief universal Triple P programmes to draw any definitive conclusions. No randomised trial had examined the short-term and long-term effectiveness of the Triple P brief universal interventions (Seminar Series). The pilot randomised trial explored the efficacy of the Triple P Seminar Series for the reduction of child behavioural and emotional difficulties. 124 parents were randomly allocated to receive three seminars on positive parenting, while parents in the control group received information on child development. There was a significant reduction in behavioural problems over time (primary outcome), and a reduction in parenting dysfunctional difficulties in the short-term. Parents gave positive feedback on the intervention indicating that overall it was acceptable, feasible, culturally relevant, and useful. Preliminary moderator analyses indicated that there were no moderator variables affecting the relation between group allocation and change in child disruptive scores. Preliminary mediator analyses suggested that a reduction in dysfunctional practices partially explained improvements in children's disruptive behaviours over time. Lastly, 46 parents of the intervention group shared their personal experiences regarding the Seminar Series during six focus groups. The facilitators of positive parenting were relevant to what they did before, during, and after their practices, while barriers included child, parent and external factors. The final conclusions after triangulation and the implications of this thesis for practice and further research were discussed.

Grigorakis, Anastasios. "Les stratégies familiales dans la reproduction et la transformation sociale dans la Grèce d'après-guerre." Thesis, Paris 8, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA080039/document.
Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse de doctorat analyse le rôle des stratégies familiales dans les processus de reproduction et de transformation sociale dans la Grèce d’après-guerre. Elle tente de montrer que les familles ont développé, tout au long de la période d’après-guerre, un système de stratégies afin d’assurer sur le plan intergénérationnel la préservation ou l’amélioration de leur statut économique et symbolique. Ces stratégies, qui constituent le « mode de reproduction familial », ont joué un rôle capital dans les processus de transformation sociale du pays (tels que l’urbanisation et la restructuration économique), notamment pendant la première période d’après-guerre. La recherche se focalise sur trois types de stratégies familiales : la pluriactivité, les stratégies résidentielles et les stratégies éducatives. Tout d’abord, à travers les stratégies de pluriactivité, les familles, notamment dans le monde rural, ont fait face à l’exode rural et aux mutations économiques profondes des premières décennies d’après-guerre. Ensuite, les stratégies résidentielles avaient pour objectif l’accession à la propriété, mobilisant principalement l’épargne des ménages, ainsi que les ressources humaines et matérielles des réseaux familiaux. Enfin, les stratégies éducatives, qui ont également mobilisé d’importantes ressources des ménages, exprimaient les efforts des familles pour assurer leur reproduction, voire leur mobilité sociale, sur le plan intergénérationnel à travers l’obtention des diplômes universitaires par leurs enfants. Par ailleurs, la question du rôle de l’État-providence grec est abordée dans les processus de protection et de reproduction sociale. En analysant le développement tardif et fragmentaire de l’État-providence grec, il est démontré que la famille n’a jamais perdu son rôle prépondérant en termes de protection et de reproductionThis PhD. Thesis focuses on the role of family strategies in social reproduction and change processes in post-war Greece. It argues that during the whole post-war period, families, according to a normative propensity in pursuing their subsistence, protection and reproduction in an intergenerational perspective, developed a system of strategies in order to assure their social reproduction, namely to assure the preservation or amelioration of their economic and symbolic status. These strategies, that constitute the ‘family mode of reproduction’, played also an important role in social transformation processes (such as urbanization and economic restructuring), notably in the first post-war period. The dissertation focuses particularly in three types of family strategies: pluriactivity, residential and education strategies. With the development pluriactivity strategies, rural families (in particular) tried to cope with deep economic restructuring and rural depopulation during the first post-war decades. Residential strategies aimed at accessing home-ownership, notably in the period of rapid urbanization by mobilizing mainly family savings and exchanges. Educational strategies expressed family aspirations of social reproduction and mobility through the acquisition of university degrees. These strategies also mobilized important proportions of family wealth in order to cope with high competition within the academic field. We finally address the question of the role of the Greek Welfare-State in social protection and reproduction processes. By analysing the late and fragmentary development of public policies, we show that family never lost its prominent role in social protection and reproduction

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines Greeks who in the fourth century B.C. did not live in the sovereign city- and town-sized communities in which most inhabitants of South Greece spent their lives. In it I argue that the number of Greeks living outside these communities increased very significantly during this period. I examine what Greek cities were destroyed and what Greek cities were founded in the fourth century, considering wherever possible how many Greeks are likely to have been added to or taken from the number of stateless Greeks by these destructions and foundations. I argue that until Alexander the Great and Timoleon began large programmes of settlement in the East and West respectively, there were probably many more Greeks losing their city homes than finding new ones (and that this is in contrast to the position before 400 B.C.). I consider the increasing numbers of Greek mercenaries, pirates, skilled workers and traders. Though people of widely differing kinds entered these occupations, I suggest that the way in which they all grew simultaneously in the fourth century indicates that the movement towards living outside cities was not entirely a response to difficult political circumstances in cities. Though some who were outside cities were so perforce, nevertheless an ideology which treated loosening of city ties as normal was being developed and was contrary to the established ideology whereby πόλις life was definitive of normal Greek life. I suggest that the availability of a large number of people with specialist skills from soldiering to diplomatic and literary skills created a world fit for Hellenistic Kings to live in. They could easily find recruits for their armies and courts. This contributes to explaining how Alexander and his Successors managed to conquer and subdue all Greece, which no power had previously done.

Moore, Kenneth R. "Sex and society in the 'Laws' of Plato." Thesis, University of St Andrews, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/10023/14535.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis deals with the topics of sex and society in the Laws of Plato with recourse to ancient historical context and modern critical theory. It examines reconstructions of ancient 'sexuality' (e.g. through Dover, Foucault and Davidson) with a view to increased clarification. The text of the Laws is considered, along with many of its literary qualities, its influences and the utopian plan that it entails. Plato's narrator, the Athenian Stranger, has proposed the remarkable theory that sexuality can be controlled through the manipulation of people's thoughts. The thesis is particularly interested in the manner in which sexuality is ideologically constructed. A significant portion of this inquiry deals with education in the hypothetical polis (Magnesia) and the part that this is designed to play specifically in terms of sex-role stereotyping. The Laws spins andreia as the ideal model for the Magnesians to imitate in their mandatory pursuit of arete. The reformulation of the Magnesian oikos and the 'brave new femininity' that this plan entails figure prominently into this examination. Magnesian women must become more like (idealised) men in terms of 'manly' enkrateia. They will combine alleged elements from athenian, Spartan, Kretan, Sauromatian and Amazonian women (plus Platonic philosophy) to attain this new status. Men must become less like women are perceived to be. A law is drafted to ban same-sex activities, considered 'womanish', but there is some uncertainty as to whether or not it will ever be enforced. Psychology and propaganda, religion, education, the family and government will all work together to affect the moral hygiene of Magnesia. The thesis investigates each of these topics, with recourse to material outside the Laws, in considering Plato's social/sexual construction theory.

Zisimou-Tryfonidi, Eirini. "The Church's involvement in the economic life of Early Christian Greek towns." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2015. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/6221/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis wishes to draw attention to the economic, social and political implications of the rise and establishment of the institutional Church in Early Christian Greece, particularly by exploring the pilgrimage, philanthropic and industrial function of the churches’ annexes. The diverse functions of churches annexes, besides reflecting a social dimension, they also reflect economic and political realities that require the development of an interdisciplinary approach, based on civil and ecclesiastical legislation, archaeology, epigraphy, history and theology, in order to explore the extent and the effects of the institutional Church’s activity in Greece. Interpreting Christian archaeology in key excavated sites of Greece by interweaving literary and material evidence both of ecclesiastical and secular origin, will help not only to ascertain how churches stood in relation to adjoining buildings combining religious and economic purposes, but also to restore to the most possible extent the Early Christian Greek urban and rural topographies.

Welman, Thandi. "The feminine Other in Euripides’ Hecuba : exploring tensions in the masculine classical polis." Thesis, Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10019.1/80275.
Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis explores how the feminine Other is used by Euripides in the Hecuba to highlight certain tensions between an aristocratic ideal of manliness and a classical democratic masculinity in the fifth century Athenian polis. The first chapter will establish the masculine nature of the Athenian polis and discuss the different elements which highlight the inherent masculinity of Athenian society. The second chapter provides a socio-political context for the position of women in fifth century Athens and explores the otherness of the feminine in the masculine polis. Chapter three explores the problematic nature of speech in the democratic state and uses the feminine Other in the Hecuba to examine possible tensions between an outmoded aristocratic ethos and the democratic ideal of manliness. In the fourth chapter Euripides' use of the Other in the Hecuba is utilized to discuss violence, revenge, and masculinity in the Athenian polis. The final chapter provides a discussion on nomos and how the tensions between aristocratic and democratic ideals problematise the authority of traditional laws and how Euripides uses the feminine Other in the Hecuba to emphasise these issues.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis ondersoek die wyse waarop Euripides die vroulike Ander in Hecuba gebruik om spanning tussen die aristokratiese ideaal van manlikheid en die klassieke demokratiese manlikheid in die vyfde-eeuse Atheense polis na vore te bring. Die eerste hoofstuk sal die manlike aard van die Atheense polis vestig en sal die elemente wat die inherente manlikheid van die Atheense samelewing beklemtoon, bespreek. Die tweede hoofstuk vervat die sosio-politieke konteks van die vrou se posisie in vyfde-eeuse Athene en verken die andersheid van die vrou in die manlike polis. Hoofstuk drie verken die problematiese aard van spraak in die demokratiese staat en gebruik die vroulike Ander in Hecuba om moontlike spanning tussen die verouderde aristokratiese etos en die demokratiese ideaal van manlikheid te ondersoek. Die vierdie hoofstuk ondersoek Euripides se gebruik van die Ander in Hecuba om geweld, wraak en manlikheid in die Atheense polis te bespreek. Die finale hoofstuk vervat 'n bespreking van nomos en die problematiek ten opsigte van die outoriteit van tradisionele wette as gevolg van die spanning tussen aristokratiese en demokratiese ideale en Euripides se gebruik van die vroulike Ander in Hecuba om hierdie geskilpunte te beklemtoon.

Raj, Shehzad D. "Ambivalence and penetration of boundaries in the worship of Dionysos : analysing the enacting of psychical conflicts in religious ritual and myth, with reference to societal structure." Thesis, University of Essex, 2018. http://repository.essex.ac.uk/23662/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis draws on Freud to understand the innate human need to create boundaries and argues that ambivalence is an inescapable dilemma in their creation. It argues that a re-reading of Freud’s major thesis in Totem and Taboo via an engagement with the Dionysos myth and cult scholarship allows for a new understanding of dominant forms of hegemonic psychic and social formations that attempt to keep in place a false opposition of polis and phusis, self and Other, resulting in the perpetuation of oppressive structures and processes. The primary methodological claim of the thesis is that prior psychoanalytic engagements with cultus scholarship have suffered from being either insufficiently thorough or diffused in attempts to be comparative. A more holistic and detailed approach allows us to ground a psychoanalytic interpretation in the realities of said culture, allowing us to critique Freud’s misreading of Dionysos regarding the Primal Father and the psychic transmission of the Primal Crime. This thesis posits that Dionysos needs to acknowledged as a projection of the Primal Father fantasy linked to a basic ambivalence about the necessity of boundaries in psychosocial life. Using research from the classics and psychoanalysis alongside Queer and post-colonial theory, as well as extensive fieldwork and primary source analysis, this thesis provides a grounded materialist critique of psychoanalysis’ complicity in reproducing a false dichotomy between polis and phusis, a dichotomy that furthers the projection onto marginalised groups whose othering is linked to a fear and desire of a return to phusis and denial of its constant presence in the psyche and polis. This re-reading of Dionysos challenges the defensive structures, which are organised around ideas of subjectification that posit that phusis must be severed from polis/ego and projected onto Dionysos and all groups that threaten the precariousness of these boundaries.

Full textAbstract:
To determine whether selective immigration policies are influenced by national experience and economic concerns, this research studies Denmark’s The Greencard scheme, and seeks to find the answer if the formulation of the conditions to be qualified will attract or repel the aspiring immigrant. Reasons such as immigration patterns, integration issues, and increasing pressure to the society contributes to the tendency and positive overall impression suggesting repulsive formulation. The content analysis of the research material amicably identified the object of signification and Western values in the definition of parameter to qualify. Although the reduced data showed the application of systematic distinctions in the process of differentiation, the subsequent analysis of the results inferred the intention of the country that is mutually beneficial. That, the basis of evaluation using a point system is designed to assess the likelihood that the immigrant will be able to find qualified work in Denmark. The result of this study revealed an interesting starting point in conducting further research. It will help the researcher to step forward in incorporating either opinion survey or interviews in order to generate an even better strength of results and a more generalized conclusion.

Full textAbstract:
La question à laquelle tente de répondre la recherche est celle de savoir si le développement de l’activité indépendante des immigrés originaires de Grèce et de Turquie dépend de leur origine géographique et de leur origine communautaire. Le corpus comprend l’ensemble des immigrés nés en Grèce ou en Turquie à chacun des recensements de mars 1926, mars 1931 et mars 1936 ainsi que les immigrés nés en Grèce ou en Turquie, immatriculés au registre du commerce de la Seine de 1920 à 1936. Les cinq groupes définis en croisant l’origine communautaire et l’origine géographique, soit les Arméniens de Turquie, les Grecs de Grèce, les Grecs de Turquie, les Juifs de Grèce et les Juifs de Turquie ont des raisons d’émigrer et des possibilités de retour différentes. Il existe de nombreux points communs à l’activité indépendante dans les différents groupes, notamment l’augmentation continue du taux d’indépendance pendant la période ainsi que les moteurs et le processus de développement de l’activité indépendante. Mais il y aussi des différences sensibles. Il y a d’abord des différences de taux d’indépendance. Le taux d’indépendance de plus élevé est celui des Juifs de Grèce devant celui des Juifs de Turquie, celui des Grecs de Grèce, celui des Grecs de Turquie celui des Arméniens de Turquie. On observe aussi des différences dans la répartition géographique et la concentration résidentielle des différents groupes. Les indépendants Arméniens de Turquie et les Grecs de Grèce et de Turquie sont plus nombreux dans l’artisanat que dans le commerce, les Juifs de Grèce et de Turquie plus nombreux dans le commerceThis research attemps to answer the question of whether the development of independent activity on the part of immigrants from Greece and Turkey depended on their geographical origin and/or their community origin. The main portion covers all the immigrants born in Greece or Turkey and shown on each of the censuses of March 1926, March 1931 and March 1936 as well as immigrants borns in Greece or Turkey, and registered on the Register of Commerce of the Seine Department from 1920 to 1936. The five groups defined by cross-referencing their geographical and community origins - Armenians from Turkey, Greeks from Greece, Greeks from Turkey, Jews from Greece and Jews from Turkey - had differing reasons to emigrate and options to return. There are many points in common as regards independent activity in the various groups, in particular the continuous increase in their rate of independence during the period as well as the driving forces and the process of development of the independent activity. However there are also significant differences. Firstly, there are differences in the rate of independence. The highest rate of independence is seen among Jews from Greece, followed by Jews from Turkey, then Greeks from Greece, Greeks from Turkey and finally Armenians from Turkey. Differences may also be seen in the geographical distribution and residential concentration of the various groups. Independent Armenians from Turkey and Greeks from Greece and Turkey are more numerous in the trades than in commerce; Jews from Greece and Turkey are more numerous in commerce

Full textAbstract:
Cette etude cherche a eclairer les rapports entre les structures foncieres et les differents types de developpement touristique dans le littoral. La premiere partie de la recherche est consacree a la presentation critique des politiques publiques de financement du secteur touristique, du cadre institutionnel de l'urbanisme et de leurs effets sur le developpement spatial du tourisme au niveau national. Dans la deuxieme partie est presentee l'urbanisation touristique de l'ile de rhodes. L'analyse diachronique de donnees cadastrales concernant les mutations foncieres, dans trois stations touristiques de l'ile, revele les pratiques de gestion du patrimoine foncier des acteurs dans le processus d'urbanisation. En s'appuyant sur les acquis des analyses precedentes, dans la troisieme partie de l'etude, les mecanismes fonciers de l'urbanisation a rhodes sont apprehendes a travers la production et l'exploitation de rentes foncieres par les proprietaires fonciers et les entreprises touristiques. Les fonctions socio-spatiales de la propriete fonciere expliquent la diffusion et les types du developpement touristiqueThis study aims at exploring the relationships between land property and the various types of urbanization in greece along the sea-shore, a special attention being given to the spatial, economic and social conditions in which that process takes place. The first part is a critical analysis of the public policies set up to make possible the financing of the branch of tourism. It also studies the national pattern of regional planning which exists in the country. Finally, il shows their common influence upon the spatial extension of tourism at the nation-wide level. The second part is a case study of the touristic urbanization in the island of rhodes. The diachronic data gathered about the way land is being transferred between persons in three resort centers along the shore give important clues about the variety of methods wich are being used by landowners as the urban pressure goes on. Drawing upon the preceding analyses, the third part of the study tries to show how the various modes of touristic urbanization in rhodes island are submitted to more general conditions of the production of land rent as landowners and business confront themselves to each other so as to exploit this rend with the best possible conditions. The study of the socio-economical functions of land property on the one side, and the local geographical caracteristics on the other, suggest strong hypotheses for explaining the way one may see the touristic amenities develop and spread in the island

Full textAbstract:
The development and application of inventory models for deteriorating items is one of the main concerns of the experts in the domain, since the number and variety of deteriorating products are dramatically increasing. One of the major gaps in the deteriorating inventories literature is that researchers have not paid enough attention to two important features in their models: i) Considering stochastic conditions; especially stochastic lead time is almost overlooked since makes the mathematical challenges complicated, ii) designing innovative inventory policies by taking into account the environmental issues and particularly the CO2 emission as a new objective in a multi-objective framework that is quite new. In this thesis, we study replenishment policy for deteriorating products under stochastic conditions in form of three different problem areas. In the first one, we develop a continuous (r,Q) inventory model for a retailer that offers a deteriorating product by considering infinite planning horizon, stochastic lead time, constant demand rate and backordered shortages. For modeling the deterioration process, a non-linear holding cost is defined. Taking into consideration the stochastic lead time as well as a non-linear holding cost makes the mathematical model more complex. We therefore customize the proposed model for a uniform distribution function that could be tractable to solve optimally by an exact approach. In second problem, we study the strategy of pooling lead time risks by splitting replenishment orders among multiple suppliers simultaneously for a retailer that sells a deteriorating product. Finally, in the last problem, we consider inventory and transportation costs, as well as the environmental impacts in a centralized supply chain by taking into account uncertain demand and partial backordered shortages. In order to deal with demand uncertainty, a two stage stochastic programming approach is taken. Then, by considering transportation vehicles capacity, we develop a mixed integer mathematical model. In this way, the best transportation vehicles and replenishment policy are determined by finding a balance between financial and environmental criteria. A numerical example from the real world is also presented to show the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed model.

Full textAbstract:
Never in the history of the South African nation has the entrepreneurial spirit been more alive. Since the opening of international doors, after the 1994 elections, South Africa has experienced the explosive growth of transnational entrepreneurship. An enduring aspect of the explosion of such economic activity is the need for "good governance" and the need for governance education in South Africa and the rest of the continent has never been greater. The size of the family business component of the South Aftican economy suggests that it is the predominant way of doing business in South Africa. Of importance to this study is the estimate that approximately 95 % of all Greek businesses in South Africa can be classified as family businesses. The sustainability of Greek family businesses requires that they maintain good governance practices that are economically and environmentally acceptable to all stakeholders. It also requires that the next generation of Greek entrepreneurs balance good governance for the businesses as well as for the family. The primary objective of this study was to identify and explore the internal factors that influence and determine good governance to ensure the survival, growth and sustainability of Greek family businesses in South Africa. The secondary research objectives pertained to the underlying dimensions of good governance and required an exploration of the different governance concerns in relation to specific South African Greek behaviour and characteristics. A theoretical model of good governance factors was proposed and tested using Structural Equation Modeling. The study found that perceived good governance in a South African Greek family business context needs to be measured in terms of three factors, namely risk control, the internal regulatory environment and the protection of the stakeholders' interest. The study dealt further with the secondary sources effecting governance for South African businesses and was based on the latest report by the King Commission. An important finding is that the cross cultural aspect of family business governance must now be considered when conducting such research as more and more emphasis is placed on the good governance of all businesses.

Full textAbstract:
S’il est difficile d’avoir accès à des « voix de femmes » de l’Athènes classique, le contexte funéraire est riche d’enseignements concernant les représentations iconographiques ou scripturales des défuntes. Brèves inscriptions ou épigrammes plus détaillées, les épitaphes offrent un aperçu des façons de nommer les femmes - épouses, mères, soeurs ou filles d’Athéniens - et de commémorer leurs vertus. Le texte entre en résonance avec l’iconographie et leur analyse croisée révèle un autre niveau de significations lorsque le monument est étudié dans son ensemble. Ostentatoires, les monuments funéraires fonctionnent comme des systèmes discursifs et s’adressent au passant et parfois aux défunts eux-mêmes, dans une situation d’énonciation artificielle dont nous étudions les modalités.Cette étude croise ainsi l’analyse de données épigraphiques et iconographiques associées. Les sources archéologiques, privilégiées, sont mises en perspective avec les sources littéraires, pour tenter de mieux cerner les regards masculins et féminins portés sur les femmes. La plupart des représentations conventionnelles inscrivent les épouses et les filles d’Athéniens dans leur relativité sociale, au point que l’on peut identifier un phénomène d’encadrement, du point de vue à la fois épigraphique et iconographique. Cependant, l’analyse montre que les dispositifs de communication mis en place dans les épigrammes, tout particulièrement entre époux, tendent à nuancer ce phénomène d’encadrement, dans la mesure où certaines nous donnent parfois accès à une situation personnelle, et font entendre la voix du mari, voire celle de l’épouse défunte. Enfin, il s’avère que la frontalité féminine sur les monuments funéraires attiques classiques constitue également une façon de s’émanciper en quelque sorte de ce cadre, et de donner un regard, si ce n’est une voix, à ces femmes défuntesDespite the difficulties in identifying women’s voices in classical Athens, the funerary context is quite enlightening about iconographic and written representations of the deceased. Epitaphs, short inscriptions as well as more detailed epigrams, give us an insight into how women, whether Athenians’ wives, mothers, sisters or daughters, were named and commemorated. Studying together connected inscriptions and images as a whole puts a light on a new set of meanings. Funerary monuments, displayed in public spaces, are indeed communication devices, addressing the passer-by or the deceased themselves.Epigraphical and iconographical evidence are crossed-referenced in this study, which focuses on archaeological data, but also literary ones, in order to define masculine and feminine views on women. Most of conventional representations inscribe Athenians wives and daughters in their social relativity, to such an extent that they appear framed, in the inscriptions as well as in the images. However, our analysis shows that the communication embedded in epigrams, especially between husbands and wives, temper this framing phenomenon, by giving us access to a more personal situation. Some even echo the husband’s or the deceased wife’s voice. Finally, representing women in a frontal view on classical attic funerary monuments is another way for these women to express themselves, if not by their speech, at least by their gaze

Full textAbstract:
L’image que la littérature grecque donne des femmes est souvent négative et l’idéal féminin qui s’en dégage est celui d’une femme silencieuse et peu visible. Or, s’il est vrai que la femme a une place assez réduite dans la cité, elle joue néanmoins un rôle important par ses activités religieuses. L’étude, en s’attachant au facteur socialisant qu’est la pratique rituelle pour les femmes, a alors pour but de montrer le contrôle des rituels féminins par les hommes en confrontant la réglementation qui encadre les femmes à leur représentation littéraire. La recherche vise ainsi à délimiter la place des femmes dans l’espace sacré, en tentant de dégager leur rôle et les règles qu’elles doivent suivre (accès aux sanctuaires, funérailles, participation aux rituels) ; mais elle s’attache aussi aux magistratures religieuses féminines. C’est donc aussi la question de l’implication des femmes dans la cité, par leurs activités rituelles, les magistratures et l’évergétisme, et celle de la « citoyenneté » des femmes qui sont abordées. Un volume d’annexes regroupe le corpus des documents épigraphiques –textes et traductions– utilisés dans ce travailGreek literature often gives a pejorative image of women and presents an idealised woman whose qualities are silence and invisibility. If it is true that women had quite a reduced place in Greek city, nevertheless they played an important role through their religious activities. This study, which pays particular attention to the social implications of ritual practices, aims to examin the masculine control over feminine rituals by comparing the rules supervising women with their literary representation.The research intends to establish the woman's place in sacred locations and tries to outline their role and the rules they had to follow (access to sanctuaries, funerals, participation in rituals). It also focuses on religious feminine magistrates. It therefore also deals with the implication of women in cities through their citizenship, ritual activity, office and evergetism. A supplementary volume collects the corpus of epigraphic inscriptions, texts and translations used in this work

Full textAbstract:
Entre 1880 et 1940, la population étudiante hellénique en France a connu une série de profondes transformations de ses principales caractéristiques démographiques, sociales (sexe, origine sociale, provenance géographique) et scolaires (filières, établissements, niveau d'études). Ces transformations témoignent de l'émergence d'une nouvelle demande d'études supérieures, qui entre autres, trouve son origine dans l'accentuation de la concurrence au sein des milieux scolaires et des professions diplômées, ainsi que dans la diffusion de la langue et de l'éducation française en Grèce. Au cours de la même période, aussi bien l'État grec que l'État français ont cherché à favoriser ce courant d'études, en octroyant aux étudiants-migrants de nombreuses facilités. Mais ces mêmes institutions étatiques se sont montrées tout aussi intéressées à réglementer ce type de déplacement, instituant à cet effet des formes de contrôle administratif qui ont abouti à la bureaucratisation de la population étudianteBetween 1880 and 1940, Greek student population in France had been transformated in its main demographic, social (gender, social and geographical origin) and educative (choice of discipline and institution) features. These transformations show the emergence of a new demand for higher studies, wich, among other things, finds its root in the strengthening of social and professional antagonism, as well as in the expansion of French language and French schools in Greece. In the same period, both the Greek and the French state had seek to promote this movement, by granting generously numerous facilities in favour of migrating students. But these same state institutions had been as much interested in regulating this kind of migration, by implementing forms of administrative control that led to the bureaucratisation of student mobility

Full textAbstract:
This Creative Writing PhD consists of a novel, The Encyclopaedia of Istanbul, and accompanying critical essays, Ottoman Crossroads: Coffeehouses, Politics, Theatres and Storytelling. The Encyclopaedia of Istanbul is historical in nature, and magically real in temperament. It is an account of fin de siècle Constantinopolis, and contains forgotten fairy tales, remnants of an ancient manuscript culture, Armenian playwrights, Turkish feminists, Greek fortune-tellers and Sephardim cantors. It tells the tale of six intersecting lives in 1876, a time known as “the year of the three Sultans” in Ottoman history. This period was filled with tensions between traditionalism and Westernization, but also new political possibilities forwarded by the Young Ottomans. While the characters in The Encyclopaedia of Istanbul are fictitious, they are inspired by historical events and figures. The second element of my PhD, Ottoman Crossroads, is made up of four individual essays that focus on selected themes from the novel. They scrutinize, in order of presentation, the history of coffeehouse culture, the secretive society of the Young Ottomans and their political thought, the formation of Armenian-Turkish theatre, and the rediscovery of Ottoman fairy tales. Whilst the novel and essays are coherent independently, they also link to each other in ways that are sometimes direct, and at other times subtle.

Full textAbstract:
Fondée sur les ordres de Jules César peu de temps avant les Ides de Mars, la colonie de Dion (Piérie, Macédoine) fait partie d’un vaste programme de colonisation qui a touché tout l’empire à l’époque césaro-augustéenne. Les données épigraphiques, rassemblées en un corpus des inscriptions latines et grecques de Dion et de son territoire, permettent d’analyser, dans le temps et dans l’espace, les évolutions d’une société mixte, constituée des colons romains, de leurs descendants et des anciens habitants grecs. Dans cette société qui s’hellénise peu à peu, se met en place un panthéon original qui mêle les divinités romaines aux divinités grecques et orientales. Les éléments de romanité, dominant au début de la période, s’atténuent progressivement, alors que les institutions perdurent jusqu’à une date avancée du Bas-EmpireFounded on Julius Cesar's orders, shortly before the Ides of March, the Dion colony (Pieria, Macedonia) was part of a large colonization program that involved the whole empire at the Caesar and Augustan time period. The epigraphic data, in the form of a corpus collecting the Latin and Greek inscriptions from Dion and its territory, make it possible to analyse, in time and space, the evolution of a mixed society constituted of Roman settlers and their descendants, as well as native Greeks. In this progressively hellenising society, a distinctive pantheon arises, mixing Roman gods to Greek and Oriental ones. The roman elements, while dominating in the early era, will progressively fade although, the institutions will remain much later during the Late Empire

Full textAbstract:
College students find belonging at institutions in multiple ways. For college women, the relationships they form through their involvements are important in their social integration. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the social integration experiences of sorority women who live in residence halls. This study was grounded in qualitative, phenomenological methodology. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews with sorority women living in the residence halls who were at least sophomores.
The researcher found sorority women had positive experiences of community and enriched relationship opportunities through their involvement in their sororities and residence halls. The women studied referenced the few relationships they made with the other people who lived near them in the residence hall. While these relationships were important to them, they were not as important as the relationships formed with their sisters in their sorority. Sisterhood provides a deeper, more meaningful connection shared through the bond of ritual and tradition. Implications for practice and suggestions for future research were also suggested.Department of Educational Studies

Full textAbstract:
Vancouver Island's old growth temperate rainforest has been the focal point in the
conflict between environmentalists and forestry workers. While a substantial body of
sociological literature exists on participants in the environmental movement (EM), there
is a dearth of literature on participants in anti-environmentalist countermovements.
Share Our Resources of Port Alberni (Share) is a countermovement organization that
emerged to act as a voice for forestry workers and resource dependent communities and
to counter the 'misinformation' being spread by environmentalists. The conflict over
forestry and conservation is fuelled as environmentalists become the "other" against
which Share members mobilize and construct their collective identity - an collective
identity characterized by a core of pro-industry, pro-community and anti-environmental
sentiments.
This thesis addresses two research questions: First, what are the underlying
differences between members of the two movements with respect to their socio-demographics,
values, networks, and collective identities? Second, if certain factors are
important in explaining identification with the EM, then what factors are important in
explaining identification with Share.
Using bivariate correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis, three sources of
data are analyzed: self-administered questionnaires sent to both Share (N=129) and EM
members (N=381); and a telephone survey of the general public of Port Alberni (N=100).
My results show that Share respondents are predominantly older, working class men
employed in the forest industry without a great deal of formal education. Share members
more highly value anthropocentrism and are more politically conservative. Identification
with the forest industry is the strongest and most significant predictor of identification
with Share. The most theoretically interesting and surprising finding is that out-group
ties or ties to environmentalists, is a positive and statistically significant predictor of
identification with Share.

Dissertação de mestrado em FinançasThe growing concern with environmental problems made some investors more aware and motivated them to incorporate environmental concerns into their investment decisions. This study evaluates the financial performance of US green mutual funds. For this purpose, US green mutual funds (domestic and global), are analysed between the period of January 2000 to October 2020. Green mutual funds are compared with conventional mutual funds through a matching-pair approach. Unconditional models, conditional models and models that take into account different market conditions, specifically, periods of crisis and periods of non-crisis are used. In general, the findings suggest that green funds do not perform significantly different from conventional funds. The results also show that green and conventional funds are positively exposed to the market and, in general, they are also exposed to small-cap stocks. In the conditional model, more specifically, in the conditional Fama and French (2018) six-factor model, the green global funds present a significantly better performance in comparison to the conventional global funds in times of higher interest rates. The Wald test reports evidence of time-varying betas and evidence of time-varying betas and alphas demonstrating that funds vary over time with economical conditions, supporting in this way the use of conditional models. Regarding models that take into account different market conditions, specifically, periods of crisis and periods of non-crisis the results report that the performance in periods of crisis is not significantly different from the performance in periods of non-crisis. However, several portfolios present significantly different exposure to some risk factors between crisis and non-crisis periods, supporting in this way the use of these models.
A crescente preocupação com os problemas ambientais tornou alguns investidores mais conscientes e motivou-os a incorporar as preocupações ambientais nas suas decisões de investimento.Este estudo avalia o desempenho financeiro dos fundos mútuos verdes dos EUA. Para tal, os fundos mútuos verdes dos EUA (domésticos e globais) são analisados entre o período de janeiro de 2000 a outubro de 2020. Os fundos mútuos verdes são comparados com fundos mútuos convencionais por meio de uma abordagem de pares combinados. São utilizados modelos incondicionais, modelos condicionais e modelos que levam em consideração diferentes condições de mercado, especificamente, períodos de crise e períodos de não crise. Em geral, os resultados sugerem que os fundos verdes não têm um desempenho significativamente diferente dos fundos convencionais. Os resultados também mostram que os fundos verdes e convencionais são positivamente expostos ao mercado e, em geral, também são expostos a ações de capitalização baixa. No modelo condicional, mais especificamente, no modelo condicional de seis fatores de Fama e French (2018), os fundos globais verdes apresentam um desempenho significativamente melhor em comparação aos fundos globais convencionais em épocas de taxas de juros mais altas. O teste de Wald reporta evidências de betas que variam no tempo e evidencias de betas e alfas que variam no tempo, demonstrando que os fundos variam ao longo do tempo com condições econômicas, apoiando, dessa forma, o uso de modelos condicionais. Relativamente aos modelos que têm em consideração diferentes condições de mercado, nomeadamente, períodos de crise e períodos de não crise, os resultados indicam que o desempenho em períodos de crise não é significativamente diferente do desempenho em períodos de não crise. No entanto, várias carteiras apresentam exposições significativamente diferentes a alguns fatores de risco entre os períodos de crise e não crise, apoiando, assim, a utilização destes modelos.

Full textAbstract:
Ecofeminism perceives an interconnection between the domination of women and poor people, and the domination of nature. This domination is founded on modern, Western, patriarchal, dualised structures, which subordinate all considered as "the other" compared to the superior masculine archetype. Hence, all feminine is seen as inferior and may therefore be exploited. This is presently manifested in the neo-liberal economic development ideal. Its global penetration generates huge economic profits, which are reaped by Northern and Southern elites, while its devastating crises of poverty, violence, environmental destruction, and human rights abuses makes life increasingly unmanageable for Southern women, poor people and nature. Feminism and ecology have therefore come together aiming at liberating women, poor people and nature. They want to change the dualised, reductionist perception of reality into a holistic cosmology. Ecofeminism consequently aims to integrate the concerns of women, poor people and nature into development.Development Studies

The formulation of the perceptions of the adult role among adolescent Greek girls in Johannesburg, is a complex matter. The girls are influenced by their Greek cultural upbringing, while also experiencing the effects of inherent gender inequalities in the education system. This study investigated the perceptions of the adult role among adolescent Greek schoolgirls in Johannesburg and the implications for educational provision. A literature survey investigated the formation of gender identity among adolescent girls. Existing research on the issues of gender in
education was reviewed. A qualitative study of the life-world of eight adolescent Greek schoolgirls
was conducted. Data elicited from semi-structured interviews were analysed, discussed and
synthesised. The major findings emanated. The girls were influenced in their adult role perceptions
by their cultural backgrounds, but all expressed a desire to strive for new levels of independence.
Guidelines for relevant educational provision were proposed.Educational Studies
