1. Chaordic event co‐creation and tourism destination image: Strategic carnival shifts in the post‐pandemic era.

Author

Pappas, Nikolaos, Glyptou, Kyriaki, and Karadimitriou, Christina

Abstract

Major street events, such as carnivals, offer a unique opportunity for destination experience value co‐creation by participants which relates directly to the destination image. This study uses service‐dominant logic (SDL) to consider the effects of event co‐creation on destination image from the point of view of a participatory process rather than from an outcome perspective. Drawing from a sample of 400 street event participants in the Patras Carnival in Greece, it examines the complexity aspects of co‐creational experience and its influence upon the destination image of the host city. Those aspects are examined by means of fuzzy‐set qualitative comparative analysis. The findings revealed three sufficient configurations (co‐creational involvement and satisfaction; co‐creational event image; experience‐satisfaction nexus) that could affect the destination image of the host destination. The paper contributes to the theoretical body of experiential co‐creational approaches to destination image with clear managerial implications for both event organizers and destination managers.

Subjects

Abstract

This thesis proposes that utopian desires are part of the social world and are of interest to anthropology. It examines the desires for the future of the world of four groups of informants living in Patras, the third largest city in Greece, in 2018-19: the municipality, ran by the Greek Communist Party (KKE); an art and music school ran by the KKE's youth wing (the KNE); a soup kitchen ran by a Greek Orthodox church; and a cultural organisation called the Anti-Complacent Association of Dreamers of Now (AADN). The utopian desires of these four distinct groups were of interest in themselves; and attention to utopian desire, as an ethnographic method, enabled a description of the felt contours of the historical moment in Patras in 2018-19. First, the thesis outlines utopian ethnography. It situates utopianism in the (scant) anthropological literature on utopianism and (substantial) anthropological literature on hope and the future. It defines 'utopia,' 'utopianism' and other key terms with reference to current literature in utopian studies, and elaborates the theoretical basis for utopian ethnography. The thesis then considers utopian ethnographic refusal: total absences of utopian desire, and desires for destruction. The discussion then moves on to utopian desire for the past, in the form of nostalgia for the lost future of Soviet Greece, for the bucolic 1960s, and for the lost moment of an imaginary neighbourhood in Patras' suburbs. After this, the thesis explores frustrated utopian desires tangled in the limits of possibility: frustrated attempts to build a better world through voluntary action and municipal governance, and frustrating investments in the state and the family. Finally, the discussion turns to my informants' concerted programs for world-building with their world-desires: transforming the self, building togetherness with others, and making music. The final section also considers the KKE's ambivalently revolutionary program of local governance, and the relationship between solidarity and the official Program of the KKE. The utopian focus of the thesis connects desire, emotion, agency and history. It attends to how things felt and what people wanted in a particular place at a specific time: Patras in the late 2010s, in the wake of ten years of austerity and the bitter disappointment of both parliamentary and extra-parliamentary resistance struggles. It looks at what people did with their feelings about how things were and desires for how things could be, at the level of the social world, according to their assessment of the historical moment and the possibilities they had to hand.

Abstract

The ambient air urban heat island effect (at a height of 4÷4.5 m) is studied in the coastal city of Patras. For this purpose, 11 fixed temperature stations have been placed in chosen representative locations to monitor the ambient air temperature variations. Temperature stations are placed in urban places: at the center of the city (intense traffic), around the center (moderate traffic), and in a rural region outside the town (at ∼10 km). Collected data for June, July, August and September 2018 are examined statistically and results are extracted indicating that urban heat island effects are not very intense. An analysis of air temperatures in transverse and longitudinal to sea-line streets has shown some lower air temperatures across transversal streets.

11. Findings on Cancer Reported by Investigators at University of Patras (A Mathematical Model for the Nutrient Distribution of a Spheroidal Avascular Cancer Tumour Within an Inhomogeneous Environment).

Abstract

Researchers at the University of Patras in Greece have developed a mathematical model to study the nutrient distribution of avascular cancer tumors within an inhomogeneous environment. The model considers a cancerous cell colony as a continuous two-phase fluid with five bounded compartments, governed by mass conservation, Fick's diffusion law, and fluid mechanics principles. The study focuses on an oblate spheroidal tumor and investigates the effects of non-homogeneity in nutrient supply and consumption rates. The findings suggest that critical nutrient values are encountered within the interior of a thin layer, rather than at a single interface. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Engineering Mathematics. [Extracted from the article]

14. Studies from University of Patras Describe New Findings in Lung Cancer [Ras Suppressor-1 (Rsu1) Exerts a Tumor Suppressive Role With Prognostic Significance In Lung Adenocarcinoma].

Abstract

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Patras in Greece has found that the protein Ras suppressor-1 (RSU1) plays a significant role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUADC), a type of lung cancer. The study found that RSU1 protein expression is downregulated in LUADC tissue samples and serves as a prognostic indicator. Depletion of RSU1 in lung cancer cells promotes cell growth, motility, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT). The study suggests that RSU1 acts as a tumor suppressor in LUADC. This research has been peer-reviewed and provides valuable insights into the understanding and treatment of lung cancer. [Extracted from the article]

17. Study Results from University of Patras Broaden Understanding of Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia (From Primary Hpv Infection To Carcinoma In Situ: a Mathematical Approach To Cervical Intraepithelial Neoplasia).

Abstract

A recent study conducted by researchers at the University of Patras in Greece explores the progression of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), which is the development of abnormal cells on the surface of the cervix caused by a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. While most cases of CIN are resolved by the immune system, a small percentage can develop into cervical cancer if left untreated. The researchers developed a nonlinear mathematical model to describe the dynamics of epithelial, dysplastic, and immune cells, as well as viral particles in CIN progression. The study examines the impact of factors such as cervix geometry, immune response strength, and viral exposure frequency on dysplasia progression. This research is significant in light of the World Health Organization's Global Strategy for cervical cancer elimination by 2030. [Extracted from the article]

20. Findings from University of Patras Yields New Data on Obesity, Fitness and Wellness (The "brain Milking" Method for the Isolation of Neural Stem Cells and Oligodendrocyte Progenitor Cells From Live Rats).

Abstract

Researchers from the University of Patras in Greece have developed a new method called "brain milking" for isolating neural stem cells and oligodendrocyte progenitor cells from live rats. These cells are important for generating new neurons and glia in the brain. The method involves injecting a "release cocktail" into the brain to release the cells, followed by collecting cerebrospinal fluid from the rats without the need for incisions. The researchers believe that this approach will allow for longitudinal studies of neurogenesis and gliogenesis in experimental animals. The research has been peer-reviewed and published in the Journal of Visualized Experiments. [Extracted from the article]

22. Violence, Resistance and the Border Regime: Shedding Light on the Reality at the Patras Settlement : Daily Struggles of People on the Move Through the Eyes of Volunteers

Author

Rebeyrolle, Alexia and Rebeyrolle, Alexia

Abstract

The securitisation and externalisation of Europe's borders have had devastating consequences for people trying to cross them. As Greece is on the periphery of the European Union, its role in this process and in the journey of people on the move is crucial. This thesis focuses on the situation in the city of Patras (Northern Peloponnese) and the informal camp set up by people on the move there. Drawing from interviews with volunteers working in Patras and previous research related to Patras or other Greek refugee camps, this thesis applies the concept of borderscapes in order to understand the situation in Patras. The aspect of resistance that people on the move create against borders is central to the thesis, as it lies at the heart of the relationship that people on the move have with the borders they face. Furthermore, analysis through the conceptual lens of borderscapes explains how the border, like Patras itself, is a violent place in many different ways. Finally, I will highlight the paradoxical role that volunteers play in this system of bordering and how the mobility and visibility of people on the move are linked to European policies and strategies to selectively restrict certain types of migration.

Abstract

In a rescue excavation of a Roman funerary complex located at the city of Patras, Achaia, Greece, an assemblage of high quality glass vessels of the 2nd-3rd c. AD was recovered. Here we present the results from the physicochemical examination of the collection using a combination of non-destructive techniques, namely optical microscopy, portable X-Ray Fluorescence, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Infrared spectroscopy (IR) techniques. The analyses resulted in the chemical characterization of the glass samples and the identification of a rare example of soda plant-ash glass. Moreover, madder lake was identified as the original content of several glass vessels. Finally, the effect of the original content on the corrosion processes was investigated, along with issues of biocorrosion. Statement of significance The interdisciplinary study of an assemblage of 2nd-3rd c. AD Roman funerary vessel glasses from Patras, Greece is reported. The archaeological and archaeometric study of Roman glass in south and central Greece has so far been limited. The present work is the first attempt to examine the complete chaîne opératoire of Roman funerary glass vessels, using a multi-technique approach. More specifically, the basic aims of the study were (1) the chemical characterization of the glass and the determination of the raw materials used; (2) the determination of the original content of the vessels; and (3) the examination of the corrosion effects on the glass.

Abstract

According to the news editors, the research concluded: "Vector pEP beta-globin provides the basis for the development of therapeutic EV for gene therapy of beta-thalassemias." We constructed a non-viral, episomal vector pEP beta-globin for the physiological beta-globin gene based on two human chromosomal elements: the scaffold or matrix attachment region (S/MAR), allowing for long nuclear retention and non-integration and the beta-globin replication initiation region (IR), allowing for enhancement of replication and establishment.
