  • ANASTASIOS GEORGOTAS “Archaeological Tourism in Greece
    UNIVERSITY OF THE PELOPONNESE ANASTASIOS GEORGOTAS (R.N. 1012201502004) DIPLOMA THESIS: “Archaeological tourism in Greece: an analysis of quantitative data, determining factors and prospects” SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: - Assoc. Prof. Nikos Zacharias - Dr. Aphrodite Kamara EXAMINATION COMMITTEE: - Assoc. Prof. Nikolaos Zacharias - Dr. Aphrodite Kamara - Dr. Nikolaos Platis ΚΑΛΑΜΑΤΑ, MARCH 2017 Abstract . For many decades now, Greece has invested a lot in tourism which can undoubtedly be considered the country’s most valuable asset and “heavy industry”. The country is gifted with a rich and diverse history, represented by a variety of cultural heritage sites which create an ideal setting for this particular type of tourism. Moreover, the variations in Greece’s landscape, cultural tradition and agricultural activity favor the development and promotion of most types of alternative types of tourism, such as agro-tourism, religious, sports and medicinal tourism. However, according to quantitative data from the Hellenic Statistical Authority, despite the large number of visitors recorded in state-run cultural heritage sites every year, the distribution pattern of visitors presents large variations per prefecture. A careful examination of this data shows that tourist flows tend to concentrate in certain prefectures, while others enjoy little to no visitor preference. The main factors behind this phenomenon include the number and importance of cultural heritage sites and the state of local and national infrastructure, which determines the accessibility of sites. An effective analysis of these deficiencies is vital in order to determine solutions in order to encourage the flow of visitors to the more “neglected” areas. The present thesis attempts an in-depth analysis of cultural tourism in Greece and the factors affecting it.

  • Lake Vegoritida's Water Level and Catchment Area Alterations As A
    European Water 56: 3-12, 2016. © 2016 E.W. Publications Lake Vegoritida’s water level and catchment area alterations as a result of natural processes and human interventions L. Karamoutsou1*, A. Psilovikos1, P. Stålnacke 2 and C. Farkas2 1 Department of Ichthyology and Aquatic Environment, School of Agricultural Sciences, University of Thessaly, Fytokou Str., 38445, Nea Ionia, Magnesia, Greece 2 Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, NIBIO, Frederik A. Dahls vei, 20, 1430, Ås, Norway * e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: The catchment of Lake Vegoritida is a highly fragile environment. Within its borders there are four inland lakes hydraulically connected to each other. The area is historically characterized by intense industrial and agricultural activities. The objectives of this paper are the following: a) to study and report the modifications occurred to the Vegoritida’s Lake water level and the catchment’s area size due to human activities during the last sixty years (1955- 2016) and b) to review the existing scientific literature concerning the water balance of the lake and its water pollution. To this purpose, the software packages ArcGIS and Surfer were used. The results revealed that due to the completion of hydraulic projects construction that took place in the area, the catchment area was increased by 537% in comparison to 1955. Moreover, the lowest estimations for the absolute altitude, area size covered and water volumes of the lake correspond to the year 2002. However, since 2002 an increase in these parameters has occurred. Systematic information exchange and cooperation between farmers, water agencies, Public Power Corporation (PPC) and research institutes is proposed for the optimal utilization of the water resources of the area.

  • How Mink, Like Humans, Were Slammed by the Coronavirus - the New York Times
    1/15/2021 How Mink, Like Humans, Were Slammed by the Coronavirus - The New York Times https://nyti.ms/2WIDbEV How Mink, Like Humans, Were Slammed by the Coronavirus Rampaging infections at farms caused scandal, scientific head-scratching and a search for a vaccine — for mink. By James Gorman Dec. 23, 2020 Denmark’s mink industry is gone, a victim of the coronavirus. The nation killed all its 17 million mink because of fears of a mutation in the virus that had spread from mink to people. Separately, in Utah, farmed mink infected with the virus seem to have passed it on somehow to at least one wild mink, raising concern about whether the virus will find a home in wild animals. And around the world, farmed mink continue to fall victim to the coronavirus. The United States, the Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Sweden, Canada, Greece and Lithuania have all reported mink infections to the World Organisation for Animal Health. Not only are mink the only nonhuman animal known to become severely ill and die from the virus, they are the only animal known to have caught the virus from humans and then passed it back. What terrified Danish officials was that the virus that jumped back to people carried mutations that seemed as if they might affect how well vaccines work, although that worry has faded. Even if the mutations that have emerged so far don’t pose a danger to humans, it is clear that the virus rampages through mink farms once infection begin and continues to mutate in new ways.
