The review also includes suggestions for further areas that should be designated within the scope of these two Directives. Although the two Directives have different objectives, the areas designated as sensitive or vulnerable are reviewed simultaneously because of the similarities in the designation process. The investigations will focus upon: • Checking that those waters that should be identified according to either Directive have been; • in the case of the Nitrates Directive, assessing whether vulnerable zones have been designated correctly and comprehensively. The identification of vulnerable zones and sensitive areas in relation to the Nitrates Directive and Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive is carried out according to both common and specific criteria, as these are specified in the two Directives. 1.1 THE URBAN WASTEWATER TREATMENT DIRECTIVE (91/271/EEC) The Directive concerns the collection, treatment and discharge of urban wastewater as well as biodegradable wastewater from certain industrial sectors. The designation of sensitive areas is required by the Directive since, depending on the sensitivity of the receptor, treatment of a different level is necessary prior to discharge.

  • Northern Greece: Birds & History May 22–June 1, 2020 ©2019
    NORTHERN GREECE: BIRDS & HISTORY MAY 22–JUNE 1, 2020 ©2019 Meteora, Greece © Voyagerix-Shutterstock For most travelers, the allure of Greece is forever bound in its classical ruins, sun-splashed islands, and wine-dark Aegean Sea. Indeed, images of the Acropolis and islands such as Crete and Santorini stoke the postcard ideal of Greece like no others. However, for those with a strong sense of curiosity and a desire to look deeper into the heart of this ancient country, lies another Greece—Northern Greece—an overlooked region very different from that of the iconic south, a scenic land of mountains, lakes, river deltas, and less known but equally impressive historical sites and architectural wonders. On this new tour, we will travel to Northern Greece, a part of the country virtually unknown to most North Americans and a place that defies popular perceptions of Greece. On this “Birds and History” trip, we will travel from Athens to Alexandroupolis, mixing time in premier birding locations with visits to historical sites of quiet renown. Our birding pursuits will take us to areas that are not only the top sites in Greece, but among the top birding sites in all of Eastern Europe. These include the Nestos River Delta, Lakes Vistonida and Ismarida, the beautiful Dadia Forest, the Evros River Delta, and magical Lake Kerkini. Northern Greece, Page 2 The birding should be exceptional, and we expect encounters with a great many species not found farther south in Greece. A sample of species we may observe includes Ferruginous Duck, Dalmatian and Great White pelicans, Pygmy Cormorant, Purple Heron, Black and White storks, Eurasian Stone- Curlew, Spur-winged Lapwing, European Roller, Black and Syrian woodpeckers, Calandra Lark, Isabelline Wheatear, Eastern Orphean and Olive-tree warblers, Semicollared Flycatcher, Eurasian Penduline-Tit, Bearded Reedling, Red-backed and Masked Shrikes, and European Golden Oriole.

  • 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.

Please provide information on what you understand by the terms Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred; on the intersection between anti-Muslim hatred, racism and xenophobia and on the historical and modern contexts, including geopolitical, socio-and religious factors, of anti-Muslim hatred. There are numerous definitions of Islamophobia which are influenced by different theoretical approaches. The Foundation for Political, Economic and Social Research, which annualy publish European Islamophobia Report, uses the working definition of Islamophobia that theorizes Islamophobia as anti-Muslim racism. The Foundation notes that Islamophobia is about a dominant group of people aiming at seizing, stabilizing and widening their power by means of defining a scapegoat – real or invented – and excluding this scapegoat from the resources/rights/definition of a constructed ‘we’.

  • Music and Traditions of Thrace (Greece): a Trans-Cultural Teaching Tool 1
    MUSIC AND TRADITIONS OF THRACE (GREECE): A TRANS-CULTURAL TEACHING TOOL 1 Kalliopi Stiga 2 Evangelia Kopsalidou 3 Abstract: The geopolitical location as well as the historical itinerary of Greece into time turned the country into a meeting place of the European, the Northern African and the Middle-Eastern cultures. Fables, beliefs and religious ceremonies, linguistic elements, traditional dances and music of different regions of Hellenic space testify this cultural convergence. One of these regions is Thrace. The aim of this paper is firstly, to deal with the music and the dances of Thrace and to highlight through them both the Balkan and the middle-eastern influence. Secondly, through a listing of music lessons that we have realized over the last years, in schools and universities of modern Thrace, we are going to prove if music is or not a useful communication tool – an international language – for pupils and students in Thrace. Finally, we will study the influence of these different “traditions” on pupils and students’ behavior. Key words: Thrace; music; dances; multi-cultural influence; national identity; trans-cultural teaching Resumo: A localização geopolítica, bem como o itinerário histórico da Grécia através do tempo, transformou o país num lugar de encontro das culturas europeias, norte-africanas e do Médio Oriente. Fábulas, crenças e cerimónias religiosas, elementos linguísticos, danças tradicionais e a música das diferentes regiões do espaço helénico são testemunho desta convergência cultural. Uma destas regiões é a Trácia. O objectivo deste artigo é, em primeiro lugar, tratar da música e das danças da Trácia e destacar através delas as influências tanto dos Balcãs como do Médio Oriente.

  • Base Metal Mineralisation in the Evros and Rhodope
    BASE METAL MINERALISATION IN THE EVROS REGION, THRACE, N.E. HELLAS K.L. Ashworth1, M.F. Billett1, D. Constantinides2, A. Demetriades2, 2 2 C. Katirtzoglou and C. Michael 1. Department of Geology, University of Southampton, Southampton, SO9 5NH, U.K. 2. Institute of Geology and Mineral Exploration, 70 Messoghion Ave., Athens, 115 27, Hellas In: G.H. Friedrich, P.M. Herzig (Editors), 1988. Base metal sulphide deposits in sedimentary and volcanic environments. Proceedings of the DMG-GDMB-SGA- Meeting Aachen, 1985. Special Publication No. 5 of the Society for Geology Applied to Mineral Deposits. Springer-Verlag, Berlin, Heidelberg, p.168-181. Abstract The stratiform and vein base metal sulphide mineralisation of the Evros region has been emplaced during three major metallogenetic periods: the Pre-, Early- and Mid-Alpidic orogenic era. The Pre-Alpidic mineralisation is associated with a metamorphosed ophiolitic mafic-ultramafic sequence (Rhodope Massif), the Early Alpidic with tholeiitic metabasalt (Circum-Rhodope Belt) and the Mid-Alpidic mineralisation has its major development in Tertiary sedimentary and calc-alkaline igneous rocks. These types of mineralisation, depending on their geotectonic setting, are considered to be similar to that of the Limassol Forest Plutonic Complex (Rhodope Massif), to volcanic-exhalative and analogous to Cyprus volcanogenic massive sulphides (Circum- Rhodope Belt), and to stratiform sediment hosted and veins of volcanic affiliation (Tertiary volcano-sedimentary basins). 1. Introduction The Evros region is situated in north-eastern Hellas and is bounded to the north and east by Bulgaria and Turkey (Fig. 1). It shows a history of some minor exploration and mining activity which started during the Turkish and Bulgarian occupation of Thrace in the late 19th and early 20th century.
