  • Healthcare Resources Consumed by Foreign Patients in the Public Hospitals of East Macedonia and Thrace
    International Journal of Economics & Business Administration pp. 119- 140 Volume II, Issue (2), 2014 Healthcare Resources Consumed by Foreign Patients in the Public Hospitals of East Macedonia and Thrace Georgios Tsitsakis1 Christos Batzios2, Giannoula Florou3, Anastasios Karasavvoglou4, Persefoni Polychronidou5 Abstract: The rising healthcare expenditures as percentage of GDP is a reality that all developed countries have to deal with. Epidemiologic standards have changed dramatically since the past. The rapid development of knowledge in the scientific field of medicine and the new state of the art medical technology has led to new treatments for various health problems. Prior fatal diseases have become chronic, and life expectancy has risen significantly, leading healthcare costs to explosion. Healthcare spending in Greece has been increased between 2000 and 2009 at a rapid rate of 6.1% per year, but it has dropped the following years, driven by a sharp reduction in public spending on health care as part of government-wide efforts to reduce the large budgetary deficit. This situation has caused an increasing offence sense in population. On the other hand, the last years, Greece has become an immigrant (legal and illegal) reception centre.This study presents comparative data about the consumed resources by Greek and foreign patients in the public hospitals of east Macedonia and Thrace for the years 2006-2010. Key Words: Healthcare Resources, Public Hospitals, Migrants JEL Classification: D23, D74 1Technological Educational Institute of

  • TUBERCULOSIS in GREECE an Experiment in the Relief and Rehabilitation of a Country by J
    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.

  • 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.

  • Ship Construct
    NOTES ON SALAMlNlAN HARBOURS Kara TOUTO &ur1 ZaAapiq vrjooq ~airroAlq ~aiAlprj v. SKY LAX Introduction My contribution' to this Third International Symposium on "Ship Construction in Antiquity" aims at giving us the chance to visit some of the ancient harbours of Salamis, land of King Ajax and birthplace of Euripides, an island favoured by Geography to be &uAip&voq(well-harboured), not 6uaoppoq vauaiv, as the ancient Greeks would have said. Among the bigger islands of the Saronic Gulf, Salamis, with an area of 93.5 km2, lies nearest to Attica. Its fame derives mainly from the great sea-battle that tookplace in the historic Straits in 480 BC. Yet, that naval battle, however crucial for Greek History,was one of many events in a long and at times turbulent Salaminian history in which ships and seamanship, harbours and sea-communication played a major role. The nautical tradition is still very much in evidence in Salamis today. A substantial part of the income of many of the modern Salaminians derives from activities associated with the functioning of the Naustathmos i.e. the Arsenal of the Greek Fleet in the northeastern part of the island and of a sizeable fleet of fishing boats harboured at Koulouri, the island's capital; and also with the existence of a series of small and medium-size shipyards and ship-repair units around the Bay of Ambelaki in the eastern part of the island and at Perama on the opposite Attic coast, which is linked to Salamis by ferry. YANNOS LOLOS TROPlS 111 As its title suggests, my paper is acompilation of working notes and observations on Salaminian harbours made during recent field research for a larger project concerning Prehistoric Salamis with particular reference to its southern part2, a project on which I have been fortunate to embark in collaboration with Professor Demetrios I.
