The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia
XII. The Statistical Battle for the Population of Greek Macedonia by Iakovos D. Michailidis Most of the reports on Greece published by international organisations in the early 1990s spoke of the existence of 200,000 “Macedonians” in the northern part of the country. This “reasonable number”, in the words of the Greek section of the Minority Rights Group, heightened the confusion regarding the Macedonian Question and fuelled insecurity in Greece’s northern provinces.1 This in itself would be of minor importance if the authors of these reports had not insisted on citing statistics from the turn of the century to prove their points: mustering historical ethnological arguments inevitably strengthened the force of their own case and excited the interest of the historians. Tak- ing these reports as its starting-point, this present study will attempt an historical retrospective of the historiography of the early years of the century and a scientific tour d’horizon of the statistics – Greek, Slav and Western European – of that period, and thus endeavour to assess the accuracy of the arguments drawn from them. For Greece, the first three decades of the 20th century were a long period of tur- moil and change. Greek Macedonia at the end of the 1920s presented a totally different picture to that of the immediate post-Liberation period, just after the Balkan Wars. This was due on the one hand to the profound economic and social changes that followed its incorporation into Greece and on the other to the continual and extensive population shifts that marked that period. As has been noted, no fewer than 17 major population movements took place in Macedonia between 1913 and 1925.2 Of these, the most sig- nificant were the Greek-Bulgarian and the Greek-Turkish exchanges of population under the terms, respectively, of the 1919 Treaty of Neuilly and the 1923 Lausanne Convention. -

Aleksandar Fotić Kassandra in the Ottoman Documents from Chilandar (Hilandar)
Aleksandar Fotić DOI:0.98/BALC0940057F Original scholarly work Department of History School of Philosophy University of Belgrade Kassandra in the Ottoman documents from Chilandar (Hilandar) Monastery (Mount Athos) in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries Abstract: The rich archive of the Athonite Monastery of Hilandar contains a group of Ottoman documents relating to the promontory of Kassandra. Hilandar did not begin to acquire land in Kassandra until the very end of the sixteenth century. No link has been found between the newly-acquired landed property and the metochia Hilandar had held under Byzantine rule. Bits of information gleaned from the docu- mentary material on Hilandar’s metochia within the village boundaries of Kalandra and Mavrokol, of the now non-existent village of Plastara, and of Valta, modern Kas- sandria, have been used to look at the ways of land acquisition, the composition of estates, forms of tenure, relations with the “master of the land”, taxes, and disputes in the course of the two centuries. Key words: Ottoman Empire, Chilandar (Hilandar) Monastery, Kassandra, metochion, topography, economy, sixteenth–seventeenth centuries portion of the large collection of Ottoman documents in the archive of the Athonite Monastery of Hilandar relates to the promontory of KassandraA or, more precisely, to the properties the monastery acquired and enjoyed in some of the villages on the promontory. Although most docu- ments are tapunāmes and hüccets relating to transfer of immovable property, it is nonetheless possible to glean information that can be useful in com- pleting the picture of the topography, the economy and everyday life in Kas- sandra in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. -
Image-Based Surrogates of Socio-Economic Status in Urban Neighborhoods Using Deep Multiple Instance Learning
Article Image-Based Surrogates of Socio-Economic Status in Urban Neighborhoods Using Deep Multiple Instance Learning Christos Diou * ID , Pantelis Lelekas and Anastasios Delopoulos Multimedia Understanding Group, Electrical and Computer Engineering Department, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece; [email protected] (P.L.); [email protected] (A.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-2310-994376 Received: 7 August 2018; Accepted: 18 October 2018; Published: 23 October 2018 Abstract: (1) Background: Evidence-based policymaking requires data about the local population’s socioeconomic status (SES) at detailed geographical level, however, such information is often not available, or is too expensive to acquire. Researchers have proposed solutions to estimate SES indicators by analyzing Google Street View images, however, these methods are also resource-intensive, since they require large volumes of manually labeled training data. (2) Methods: We propose a methodology for automatically computing surrogate variables of SES indicators using street images of parked cars and deep multiple instance learning. Our approach does not require any manually created labels, apart from data already available by statistical authorities, while the entire pipeline for image acquisition, parked car detection, car classification, and surrogate variable computation is fully automated. The proposed surrogate variables are then used in linear regression models to estimate the target SES indicators. (3) Results: We implement and evaluate a model based on the proposed surrogate variable at 30 municipalities of varying SES in Greece. Our model has R2 = 0.76 and a correlation coefficient of 0.874 with the true unemployment rate, while it achieves a mean absolute percentage error of 0.089 and mean absolute error of 1.87 on a held-out test set. -
Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period Ryan
Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period by Ryan Anthony Boehm A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Emily Mackil, Chair Professor Erich Gruen Professor Mark Griffith Spring 2011 Copyright © Ryan Anthony Boehm, 2011 ABSTRACT SYNOIKISM, URBANIZATION, AND EMPIRE IN THE EARLY HELLENISTIC PERIOD by Ryan Anthony Boehm Doctor of Philosophy in Ancient History and Mediterranean Archaeology University of California, Berkeley Professor Emily Mackil, Chair This dissertation, entitled “Synoikism, Urbanization, and Empire in the Early Hellenistic Period,” seeks to present a new approach to understanding the dynamic interaction between imperial powers and cities following the Macedonian conquest of Greece and Asia Minor. Rather than constructing a political narrative of the period, I focus on the role of reshaping urban centers and regional landscapes in the creation of empire in Greece and western Asia Minor. This period was marked by the rapid creation of new cities, major settlement and demographic shifts, and the reorganization, consolidation, or destruction of existing settlements and the urbanization of previously under- exploited regions. I analyze the complexities of this phenomenon across four frameworks: shifting settlement patterns, the regional and royal economy, civic religion, and the articulation of a new order in architectural and urban space. The introduction poses the central problem of the interrelationship between urbanization and imperial control and sets out the methodology of my dissertation. After briefly reviewing and critiquing previous approaches to this topic, which have focused mainly on creating catalogues, I point to the gains that can be made by shifting the focus to social and economic structures and asking more specific interpretive questions. -

Interviews of Survivors of WWII from Kalamaria, Greece (Historical Archive for Greek Refugees / IAPE)
RESEARCH PAPER REMEMBERING THE PAST – BUILDING THE FUTURE Interviews of survivors of WWII from Kalamaria, Greece (Historical Archive for Greek Refugees / IAPE) This research paper will focus on the life stories - narratives as accounted for by the two lengthiest interviews included in the audio illustrating the video with the photos from the archives of the Historical Archive for Greek Refugees of the Municipality of Kalamaria (IAPE). All material (both audio and images) belongs to IAPE and is the result of our excellent collaboration with the Historical Archive and more specifically with the historians Eleni Ioannidou and Maria Kazantzidou, in the context of the project “Remembering the Past- Building the Future” as presented in the Thessaloniki event (19-24.03.2016). Both of the interviews present invaluable insight in the impact that World War II had on everyday life of people while interviewees also emphasize on their families’ migrant background of hardship and constant struggle, as well as their active involvement in the Resistance Movement against the Nazi regime. The first survivor is Nikolaos Kouhtin. He was born in Kalamaria in January 6, 1929. His mother’s name was Mina Varahidou and she was born in Vatoum, Russia; she immigrated to Kalamaria, Thessaloniki (Greece) in 1922. His father’s name was Loukas. He was a Russian citizen born in Mariupol, Crimea, who came to Greece as a soldier in 1915 to fight in the Macedonian front during WWI. Nikolaos’ parents were married in 1924. His father never managed to travel back to his homeland since he died in Greece. Nikolaos has two siblings. -
Sustainable Energy Production and Consumption in Greece: a Review
RECENT ADVANCES in ENVIRONMENT, ECOSYSTEMS and DEVELOPMENT Sustainable energy production and consumption in Greece: A review V. Vita, M. Peikou, P. Kaltakis, A. Goutis, L. Ekonomou A.S.PE.T.E. - School of Pedagogical and Technological Education, Department of Electric Educators, Ν. Ηeraklion, 141 21 Athens, Greece e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Electricity is considered to be one of the most important and vital goods. Each country should be energy independent and efficient in order to cope with its citizens needs and abstain political, economical and social after effects. Greek electrification initiated and evolved in a much slower pace than the rest of Europe. The foundation of the Public Power Cooperation S.A. (PPC) in 1950 was one of the most significant steps for essential, more organized and further growth of electrification. In this paper a thorough analysis of the Greek electrical energy sources, such as lignite, oil, natural gas, hydroelectric power and renewable energy sources is made and their percentage participation in electrical energy production is examined. After obtaining a broad picture of the current electrical energy production state in Greece, it is concluded that there is the need for the development of environmental friendly unexploited energy forms. Several measures towards that direction combined with Greek policy and objectives are demonstrated. Key-Words: Production; Renewable Energy Sources (RES); Public Power Corporation S.A. (PPC); Policy. 1. Introduction 2. Historical energy retrospection of Greece The advantages of electric energy against other 2.1 Period before the foundation of the Public forms of energy are: a) the instantly transformation Power Cooperation S.A. -
