Reclaiming Power and Meaning: A Participatory Intervention Based on the Power Threat Meaning Framework in Addiction Recovery in Greece

This study explores a pilot application of the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF) through a participatory psychoeducational group with individuals in the social reintegration phase of the public addiction recovery program 18ANO in Greece. Grounded in Critical and Liberation Ps...

Development and application of a methodological framework for assessing the resilience of military infrastructure against climate change impacts

Mitigating climate change impacts and enhancing the resilience capacity of military infrastructure is essential for the Armed Forces, first, to ensure a high level of both readiness and sustainability transitions and, second, to contribute to each European Union Member-State’s (E...

Developmental Language Disorder and Developmental Dyslexia: Rethinking Categorical Boundaries Through a Dimensional Language–Literacy Framework

Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and developmental dyslexia are among the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders affecting children’s language, literacy, academic achievement, and social participation. Although traditionally conceptualised as distinct disorders of oral...

Money Laundering and Anti-Money-Laundering Governance in the United States and European Union: A Comparative Integrative Review

Money laundering remains a persistent challenge to financial integrity and effective economic and institutional governance, while its concealed nature and heterogeneous measurement methods limit precise estimates of its scale. This study examines money laundering and anti-money-l...

Informal Payments in Greece’s Public Healthcare System: Determinants and Challenges to Sustainable Health Governance

The study examined the extent of bribery within the public healthcare system in Greece and the influence of its determinants at the macro-, meso-, and micro-levels, highlighting institutional and cultural influences, systemic weaknesses, inequalities, and high-risk groups. Struct...

Beyond Protocols and Indices in Seed Germination Studies: Frequentist vs. Probabilistic Errors in Germinability Measures

Seed germination indices are commonly used to quantify either the frequency of germination within a tested seed sample or the temporal dynamics of germination events. Among these metrics, final germination percentage, or germinability, is conventionally calculated as the proporti...

Assessing port infrastructure criticality and vulnerability for climate adaptation planning: Insights from three European ports

Climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events, directly threatening critical port infrastructure and the stability of global supply chains. Effective adaptation planning requires systematic tools capable of identifying the most critical and cl...

Explainable Optimized Machine Learning for Predicting Student Self-Regulated Learning

This study examined the utility of an optimized, explainable machine learning (ML) model for predicting students’ self-regulated learning (SRL). Participants were 823 middle school students (52.6% girls) from randomly selected public schools who completed in-person measures of re...

Crisis governance, legitimacy, and consumer ethics in service systems

Purpose This paper aims to examine how crisis-related service restrictions shape ethical consumer responses, challenging the assumption that restrictive governance inherently promotes responsibility. It develops a dual-process model explaining how legitimacy and autonomy percepti...

Adhesive Monitoring Traps as a Mortality Risk for the Common Pipistrelle in Mediterranean Olive Agroecosystems: First Evidence from Greece and Implications for Bat Conservation

Yellow adhesive chromotropic traps are widely deployed across Mediterranean olive cultivation to monitor B. oleae population dynamics, yet their adhesive surfaces can also retain non-target organisms. Here we report the first documented entrapment of the common pipistrelle Pipist...

Future climate change favours the increase in abundance of smaller, shorter‐lived fish in the northeastern Mediterranean

Abstract As species distributions shift due to climate change, functional alterations may also occur within marine communities, potentially leading to ecosystem‐wide transformations. With Mediterranean marine ecosystems projected to undergo tropicalization, it is crucial to under...

Storm surge dynamics in the northern Adriatic Sea: comparing AI emulators with high-resolution numerical simulations

Abstract. Accurate storm surge forecasting is vital for protecting coastal regions, particularly in the northern Adriatic Sea where sea-level rise and increasingly severe storm events pose growing risks. Machine Learning (ML) approaches offer compelling speed and flexibility, yet...

Sulforaphane and Broccoli-Derived Preparations in Obesity and Obesity-Related Metabolic Dysfunction: Mechanistic Insights, Preclinical Evidence, and Clinical Perspectives

Background/Objectives: Obesity is a major global health challenge characterized by adipose tissue dysfunction, insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and increased cardiometabolic risk. Despite substantial therapeutic adva...

Building Climate-Resilient Mediterranean Olive Systems: Integrating Soil, Water, Carbon, Biodiversity, and Innovation for a Sustainable Future

Abstract Mediterranean olive systems face compound climatic, ecological, and socio-economic pressures. Drawing on the consensus of the International Conference on Sustainability in Olive Cultivation (ICSOC) 2025, we propose an integrated framework structured along three axes: fiv...
