It constitutes a rural area with a low population density of just 41103 permanent inhabitants (according to the 2011 census of the Greek Statistics Services) that is poorly served by public transport and has many poles of attraction that are insufficiently exploited. Picture 1.1: The location of the Municipality of Langadas within the Region of Central Macedonia (coloured area). Langadas Municipality Source: [1] The current organizational structure of the Greek State includes several bodies and levels of administration. The latest reform, known as the “KALLIKRATIS” law, has created a new structure of local governance. The Municipality of Langada’s position in it is described in Figure 1.1 D4.2: Regional fact sheets – Municipality of Langadas 3 Figure 1.1: Municipality of Langadas’ position in Administrative Levels of the State 1.2 The area geography and constraints The local geography constraints that comprise physical restrictions to the movement of people and vehicles and can be found at the Municipality of Langadas are the following: 1. Forests and forestall areas The forests and the forestall areas are located at the main mountains and massifs of the area and particularly at the bulge of the “Vertiskos” mountain, the mountain chain of “Kerdillion” and the mountain of “Chortiatis – Omvrianos”. 2. The ecosystem of Koroneia -Volvi - Riheios River - Macedonian Tembi Langadas can be considered as part of the grater region of the ecosystem of “Koroneia -Volvi - Riheios River - Macedonian Tembi” that constitutes one of the eleven most important water biotopes of Greece. It is recognized and is protected by the “Ramsar” – “Natura 2000” treaty together with other international conditions. In this particular ecosystem, the Koroneia Lake (also known as the Lake of “Langadas” or the Lake of “Agiou Vasileiou”) faces huge problems, since it doesn’t host any living organisms since 1995. The main reason for that is the pollution of the water due to the adjacent industries and the significant reduction of the water level. 3. Koroneia Lake 4. Richeios River Table 1.1 summarises the main physical constraints that can be met at the area of the Municipality of Langadas.

The main ob- jective is to depict the climate of the era throughout the time frame from 1916 -- the commencement of their captivity outside Greece – and their re- turn in 1918, through the personal and collective experiences of ordinary people. It is an effort to highlight the value of the oral culture, incorporating the voice of the unseen protagonists into the historical data. It describes the way they reached this specific area, the two years they spent there, and the four phases of their return. Key words: Oral history, Collective memory, Vlachs, Captivity, Serres This announcement is the product of an on-the-spot study of the Vla- chophones of Serres, and more specifically refers to the Vlachophones of Irakleia (Tzoumagias), Petritsi, Vyroneia, and Poroion. It is founded mainly on oral ac- counts of first-generation individuals who witnessed the events of the captivity. The chief objective of this article is to depict the climate of the period from 1916 – the commencement of their captivity outside Greece – and their return in 1918, through the personal and collective experiences of ordinary people.

    TUBERCULOSIS IN GREECE An Experiment in the Relief and Rehabilitation of a Country By J. B. McDOUGALL, C.B.E., M.D., F.R.C.P. (Ed.), F.R.S.E.; Late Consultant in Tuberculosis, Greece, UNRRA INTRODUCTION In Greece, we follow the traditions of truly great men in all branches of science, and in none more than in the science of medicine. Charles Singer has rightly said - "Without Herophilus, we should have had no Harvey, and the rise of physiology might have been delayed for centuries. Had Galen's works not survived, Vesalius would have never reconstructed anatomy, and surgery too might have stayed behind with her laggard sister, Medicine. The Hippo- cratic collection was the necessary and acknowledged basis for the work of the greatest of modern clinical observers, Sydenham, and the teaching of Hippocrates and his school is still the substantial basis of instruction in the wards of a modern hospital." When we consider the paucity of the raw material with which the Father of Medicine had to work-the absence of the precise scientific method, a population no larger than that of a small town in England, the opposition of religious doctrines and dogma which concerned themselves largely with the healing art, and a natural tendency to speculate on theory rather than to face the practical problems involved-it is indeed remarkable that we have been left a heritage in clinical medicine which has never been excelled. Nearly 2,000 years elapsed before any really vital advances were made on the fundamentals as laid down by the Hippocratic School.

    Determination of Uranium and Radon in Potable Water Samples

    Journal of Environmental Radioactivity 61 (2002) 225–232 Technical note Determination of uranium and radon in potable water samples N. Zouridakis, K.M. Ochsenkuuhn,. A. Savidou* NCSR Demokritos, Aghia Paraskevi, 153 10 Athens, Greece Received 15 July 2000; received in revised form 10 June 2001; accepted 20 June 2001 Abstract In this work, potable water samples collected from boreholes of the Migdonia valley, located NE of the city of Thessaloniki, were analyzed for the determination of uranium (238U) and radon (222Rn) concentrations. The objective of the present work is to examine if there is any correlation between radon and uranium concentrations in the water samples. For the determination of traces of uranium in water samples, an analytical technique was developed based on the selective adsorption of uranium on the chelating resin, SRAFION NMRR, and the in situ determination of the retained uranium by instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA). By the described procedure, it was possible to determine uranium amounts in the range of mg/l. For measuring radon in water, a liquid scintillation counting system, using the Packard protocol was employed. The measured 222Rn activity concentrations are from background level up to 160 Bq lÀ1. r 2002 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. Keywords: Uranium; Radon; 238U; 222Rn; Potable water; Seismicity 1. Introduction The area under investigation is the Migdonia Basin (Fig. 1) located NE of the city of Thessaloniki, Greece. The extent of the examined area is about 1100 km2 and encompasses an area of about 600 km2 large valley, with the Lakes of Koronia and Volvi. These Lakes are situated in two different geological formations, Koronia in the Circum-Rhodope Belt and Volvi in the Serbo-Macedonian Massif (Jacobshagen, Geologie von Griechenland, & Borntraeger, 1986).

January 2018 Thessaloniki - Greece Abstract This dissertation was written as part of the MA in Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean Studies at the International Hellenic University. The aim of this dissertation is to collect as much information as possible on agricultural practices in Macedonia from prehistory to Roman times and examine them within their social and cultural context. Chapter 1 will offer a general introduction to the aims and methodology of this thesis. This chapter will also provide information on the geography, climate and natural resources of ancient Macedonia from prehistoric times. We will them continue with a concise social and cultural history of Macedonia from prehistory to the Roman conquest. This is important in order to achieve a good understanding of all these social and cultural processes that are directly or indirectly related with the exploitation of land and agriculture in Macedonia through time. In chapter 2, we are going to look briefly into the origins of agriculture in Macedonia and then explore the most important types of agricultural products (i.e.

I would like to thank my Ph.D. supervisors Pat Caplan and Victoria Goddard for their continuous support, guidance and trust in my project and myself. I am grateful to Rena Molho for her help and support through all these years. Stella Salem constantly enhanced my critical understanding and problematised many of my arguments. Of course, I should not forget to mention all my informants for sharing with me their ideas, their fears and who made me feel “at home” whenever they invited me to their homes. I would also like to thank Eleonora Skouteri–Didaskalou a gifted academic who tried to teach me more than ten years ago what anthropology is and why studying it entails a kind of magic. Last but not least I would like to express my gratitude to Ariadni Antonopoulou for helping me with the final version of the text. CONTENTS Introduction: What is to be “cooked” in this book? 1 1.

Papadopoulos, Chair This research project examines the appearance and proliferation of some of the earliest cremation burials in Europe in the context of the prehistoric north Aegean. Using archaeological and osteological evidence from the region between the Pindos mountains and Evros river in northern Greece, this study examines the formation of death rituals, the role of landscape in the emergence of cemeteries, and expressions of social identities against the backdrop of diachronic change and synchronic variation. I draw on a rich and diverse record of mortuary practices to examine the co-existence of cremation and inhumation rites from the beginnings of farming in the Neolithic period

    A Qualitative-Quantitative Study of Water and Environmental Pollution at the Broader Area of the Mygdonia Basin, Thessaloniki, N

    A QUALITATIVE-QUANTITATIVE STUDY OF WATER AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION AT THE BROADER AREA OF THE MYGDONIA BASIN, THESSALONIKI, N. GREECE M.K. NIMFOPOULOS1, N. MYLOPOULOS2, K.G. KATIRTZOGLOU3 ABSTRACT The Mygdonia drainage basin, located about 10 km NE of Thessaloniki town, encloses the Lakes Koronia, Volvi and Vromolimnes, and contains Pleistocene and Holocene loose sediments formed on an active tectonic depression. A shallow phreatic aquifer (d<50 m) and a deep one (d=80-500 m) are recognized in the basin, while at depths of 50-80 m impermeable clayey layers of unilateral to lensoid formation predominate. During the period 1996-2000, the drop in the water table of the phreatic aquifer in the area of Lake Volvi was constant (0 to 1.2 m), while in Lake Koronia this was 0.11 to 7.59 m. The decreasing annual natural water flows, combined with the urban and industrial impact, lead to water pollution (high pH, E.C., Na, K, Cl, F and SO4) and ecological death. KEYWORDS: Mygdonia, Koronia, Volvi, aquifer, water, quality, pollution I. INTRODUCTION AND GEOLOGICAL SETTING The Mygdonia drainage basin is located approximately 10 km NE of Thessaloniki town (latitude 40º40', longitude 23°15'), and encloses the Koronia and Volvi Lakes, the town of Langadas and the villages of Scholari, Rendina and Nea Apollonia (Fig. 1). The basin is Neogene to Quaternary, has an E-W orientation, formed as a graben with an E-W alignment and overlies (from E to W) the metamorphic basement with rocks, such as gneisses, schists, marbles and granitic intrusions of the Serbomacedonian massif and schists, quartzites, limestones and mafic rocks of the Circum Rhodope belt (IGME, 1978).
