Grazing Behavior of the Greek Breed of Sheep »Serres« in Lowland and Mountainous Pastures
Archiv Tierzucht 54 (2011) 2, 165-176, ISSN 0003-9438 © Leibniz Institute for Farm Animal Biology, Dummerstorf, Germany Grazing behavior of the greek breed of sheep »Serres« in lowland and mountainous pastures Athanasios Loridas1, Ioannis Mountousis2, Christos Roukos1, Maria Yiakoulaki3 and Kostantinos Papanikolaou1 1Department of Animal Production, Faculty of Agriculture, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece, 2Department of Animal Production, Faculty of Agriculture, Technological Educational Institute of Western Macedonia, Terma Kontopoulou, Florina, Greece, 3Department of Range and Wildlife Science (236), School of Forestry and Natural Environment, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki, Greece Abstract The grazing activities of indigenous sheep of the greek breed »Serres« was investigated in a typical lowland, and in a mountainous pasture in northern Greece during the vegetative period (April-October) of 2008. Grazing time, resting and ruminating time, distance travel and air temperature in relation to pasturing month and altitude were examined. It was remarked significant effect (P<0.001) of the pasturing month on grazing time, and resting time of sheep. Mean grazing time was greater in the lowland (315.71 min/day ±4.57) than in the mountainous pasture (283.57 min/day ±4.79). On the contrary, the resting time and the distance travel of sheep were shorter in the lowland pasture. The resting time had significant (P<0.01) positive relationship to air temperature (r=0.777). Keywords: grazing activity, vegetative period, sheep breed »Serres«, lowland pasture, mountainous pasture, northern Greece Zusammenfassung Weideverhalten der griechischen Schafrasse »Serres« auf Tiefland- und Bergweide in Nordgriechenland Im Jahr 2008 erfolgten in den Monaten April bis Oktober Beobachtungen des Weideverhalten von Schafen unter den Bedingungen des Tieflandes als auch im Gebirge Nordgriechenlands. -
“Those Were the Difficult Years…”∗

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. -
For Municipal Solid Waste Management in Greece
Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity Article Description and Economic Evaluation of a “Zero-Waste Mortar-Producing Process” for Municipal Solid Waste Management in Greece Alexandros Sikalidis 1,2 and Christina Emmanouil 3,* 1 Amsterdam Business School, Accounting Section, University of Amsterdam, 1012 WX Amsterdam, The Netherlands 2 Faculty of Economics, Business and Legal Studies, International Hellenic University, 57001 Thessaloniki, Greece 3 School of Spatial Planning and Development, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, 54124 Thessaloniki, Greece * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +30-2310-995638 Received: 2 July 2019; Accepted: 19 July 2019; Published: 23 July 2019 Abstract: The constant increase of municipal solid wastes (MSW) as well as their daily management pose a major challenge to European countries. A significant percentage of MSW originates from household activities. In this study we calculate the costs of setting up and running a zero-waste mortar-producing (ZWMP) process utilizing MSW in Northern Greece. The process is based on a thermal co-processing of properly dried and processed MSW with raw materials (limestone, clay materials, silicates and iron oxides) needed for the production of clinker and consequently of mortar in accordance with the Greek Patent 1003333, which has been proven to be an environmentally friendly process. According to our estimations, the amount of MSW generated in Central Macedonia, Western Macedonia and Eastern Macedonia and Thrace regions, which is conservatively estimated at 1,270,000 t/y for the year 2020 if recycling schemes in Greece are not greatly ameliorated, may sustain six ZWMP plants while offering considerable environmental benefits. This work can be applied to many cities and areas, especially when their population generates MSW at the level of 200,000 t/y, hence requiring one ZWMP plant for processing. -
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. -

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. -

Ottoman Remains and Treasures in Hungary
OTTOMAN REMAINS AND TREASURES IN HUNGARY GEZA FEHER* In Hungary, the remains of Turkish architecture, of which only a small part have survived, belong to the domain of a specific culture. But their cultural historical and artistic value is much more important that the number of the buildings that have been preserved up to this day or that of those remains that are stili hidden in the ground, which are available to archeological research. The aim of the present —rather short— paper is to give a brief summary of the pieces of knowledge we have concerning Ottoman architecture in Hungary. Relying on Turkish, Hungarian, and Western sources, we can state that from the beginning of the conquest /the thirties and forties of the 16th centuryI to the middle of the 17th century, in the parts of Hungary under Turkish rule, about 1.000 —more or less large— Turkish buildings had come into being, chiefly serving the purposes of religion. Western cop- per engravings, which are, however, of high artistic value, convincingly prove, too that in the territories under Turkish rule, Hungarian townscapes had been transformed. But this change was far from being so profound and fundamental than that of the look of the towns in Bosnia and Herzegovina or in Albania. The building activity of the Turks in Hungary is a long-debated issue. The scholarly view that holds that the conquerors did not undertake monumental constructions and that they were content with the transfor- mation of relatively small buildings found on the spot is only an unground- ed hypothesis that has only slight foundations in reality.
