This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the effects climate change on Greek agriculture, by evaluating and refining current policy measures interventions address them through lens funding opportunities new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) 2023–2027. To this end, we conducted diagnostic strategic framework in Greece provided recommendations around five key areas: education, consulting services, agri-food cooperation, coupling innovation, digitalization, as well risk management...
The increasing global concern over plastic waste and its environmental impact has led to a growing interest in the development of sustainable packaging alternatives. This study focuses on innovative use expired dairy products as potential resource for producing edible materials. Expired milk yogurt were selected primary raw materials due their protein carbohydrate content. extracted casein was combined with various concentrations chitosan, glycerol, squid ink, leading studied samples....
We report an ongoing measles outbreak in Greece. The first cases were notified through the mandatory notification system on May 2017 Northern Greece and concerned a cluster of three imported unvaccinated Roma siblings. So far, 3150 have been reported all 13 Regions. Initially, mainly affected Greek but as it progressed spread to non-minority nationals. reached its ultimate peak week 10/2018 from 15/2018 has gradually declining. Most (60.6%) (especially children <10 year-old) followed by...
The increasing global concern over plastic waste and its environmental impact has led to a growing interest in the development of sustainable packaging alternatives. This study focuses on innovative use expired dairy products as potential resource for producing edible materials. Expired products, which are typically discarded, contribute food pollution. By modifying these materials, dual-purpose solution addressing both reduction is evaluated. milk yogurt were selected primary raw materials...
In this manuscript, we summarise the experience of Greece during post-pandemic influenza season 2010/11 from 04 October 2010 to 22 May 2011. The spread disease and its impact were monitored using multiple surveillance systems, such as sentinel surveillance, virological all-cause mortality surveillance. We also focus on characteristics laboratory-confirmed severe cases who required admission an intensive care unit (ICU) (n=368), and/or with a fatal outcome (n=180). influenza-like illness rate...

Cellulose nanocrystals are of major research interest because their use in biodegradable bioplastcs and food packaging, biomaterials, medical pharmaceutical applications, cosmetics, electronics, construction materials. This study introduces an approach combining microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) cellulose from Aloe Vera plant residue subsequent isolation (CNCs) utilizing sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The MAE process, characterized by its rapid heating penetrating ability, was optimized to...
Literature reports have indicated that Particulate Matter (PM) concentrations in the atmosphere over major urban centres of Greece are high compared to other European cities same size. The great majority these based on measurements been conducted a limited amount time. This study provides an overview temporal variation shows trends PM10 two (Athens and Thessaloniki) during last decade (i.e., from 2001 2010). Annual average at monitoring stations Athens range 32.3 62.5 μg m-3, suburban 21.5...
Modern bioeconomy and sustainability demands lead food technology in the development of novel biobased edible preservatives. Herein, characterization polysaccharide (xanthan gum kappa-carrageenan)-based nanoemulgels (NGs) enhanced with essential oil derivatives; pure citral (CT); carvacrol (CV); various CT:CV ratios (25:75, 50:50, 75:25) are presented. The obtained NGs applied as active coatings for extending shelf life Protected Designation Origin (PDO) green table olives Chalkidiki. zeta...
Biomass valorization and bio-based material development are of major research interest following the spirit circular economy. Aloe vera cultivation is a widespread agricultural activity oriented toward supplement production because its well-known antioxidant antimicrobial properties. juice also produces large amount biomass byproducts that usually landfilled. On other hand, cellulose nanocrystals widely used in several applications, such as biomaterials, bio-compatible polymers,...
Abstract Waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) recycling processes produce aerosols that influence occupational health. This work is a characterization of dust from dry wet WEEE in small plant. A particle spectrometer measured size distributions ultrafine particles whereas deposition impactor collected for chemical analysis. Powders milled printed circuit boards the cathode ray tube (CRT) processing line were additionally analyzed. Morphological dusts by optical electron...

The recent wide geographic spread of the highly pathogenic avian influenza A/H5N1 virus has important public health implications. Several wild migratory birds were confirmed to be infected with in Greece February and March 2006. aim this paper is report data from potential H5N1 human cases that presented local hospitals during period a respiratory infection expressing concern about exposure influenza. A case-control investigation was conducted included case identification use structured...
Nowadays bioeconomy and sustainability trend drive food technology in the development of novel biobased edible preservatives to enhance shelf-life safety. This study explored development, characterization, application polysaccharide-based nanogels enhanced with essential oil derivatives carvacrol citral, investigating their potential synergistic effects as active coatings for extending shelf life Chalkidiki PDO green table olives. Nanogels were formulated using xanthan gum kappa-carrageenan...
Introduction: Migrant women are a vulnerable group with limited access to health services and face ineffective system response their needs, especially during the perinatal period. Effectiveness of training healthcare professionals (HCPs) is vital in order enhance quality migrant care offered line ORAMMA (Operational Refugee Maternal Approach) project’s guidelines approach. Methods: 47 HCPs involved Greece were recruited training. An evaluation questionnaire, developed, was completed pre-...
Background. Language classes organized for adult refugees and migrants are heterogeneous. Students in these educational settings differ across a number of various aspects, including language competences, background levels literacy. Seen through the Critical Pedagogy lens is considered not simply as means to express or communicate, but product constructed by ways learners recognise themselves, their social surroundings, histories, potentialities future.
 Purpose. The purpose our study...
In 2016 and 2017, 535,000 refugees/migrants crossed the Mediterranean Sea to reach Europe, with 203,000 arriving in Greece. To address enhanced epidemiological surveillance needs, May Greece established an ad hoc system points of care for hosting centers, complementary routine surveillance. Data on number cases per age group 14 syndromes public health (PH) interest were collected daily from primary healthcare units refugee/migrant centers country, along consultations any cause. Additional...
Abstract Background Measles is a highly contagious disease which still remains cause of severe complications, including deaths worldwide, despite the existence safe and effective vaccines. In last 3 decades, incidence measles in Greece has constantly declined with only sporadic clusters or outbreaks (last outbreak 2010–2011). We describe characteristics ongoing Public Health response. Methods All cases are reported through mandatory notification system (EU case definition 2012) to Department...
