‘’Εθιμοτυπία-Παραδόσεις-Πρακτικές των Ευελπίδων κατά τη διάρκεια φοίτησής τους στη Σχολή (Περίοδος 1970-1990)’’

Η παρούσα εργασία μελετά την καθημερινότητα των Ευελπίδων στη Σχολή τις δεκαετίες 1970 και 1980, βασιζόμενη στη συμμετοχική παρατήρηση και τις βιογραφικές αφηγήσεις απόστρατων αξιωματικών αποφοίτων της ΣΣΕ. Η πραγματοποίηση, ανάλυση και ερμηνεία των συνεντεύξεων γίνεται με συνδυασμό μεθόδων και πρακτικών και στοχεύει να αναδείξει τους υποκειμενικούς τρόπους βίωσης. Μέσα από τις αφηγήσεις αποτυπώνεται η καθημερινότητα, οι αλληλεπιδράσεις και οι σχέσεις των τεσσάρων τάξεων Ευελπίδων της Σχολής και αναδεικνύεται η σημασία και ο ρόλος της παράδοσης στη διαμόρφωση του Έλληνα Αξιωματικού. Η έκφραση που βγήκε αβίαστα από τα χείλη των αφηγητών ‘’Μία φορά Εύελπις, για πάντα Εύελπις’’, αποτυπώνει τις βαθιές ρίζες και τους ισχυρούς δεσμούς της Σχολής, που μένουν αναλλοίωτοι στο χρόνο. Αποτυπώνεται ο τρόπος με τον οποίο επηρεάζεται η καθημερινότητα στη Σχολή από τις εκάστοτε κοινωνικοπολιτικές καταστάσεις και εξετάζονται ο ρόλος του κάθε έτους Ευελπίδων και η αλληλεπίδραση μεταξύ τους.This study investigates the daily routines of the cadets (Evelpides) at the Hellenic Army Academy in the 1970s and 1980s, based on participatory observation and biographical narrations of retired Hellenic Army Academy graduate officers. The interviews, analysis and interpretation is done through a combination of methods and practices. The aim of this study is to highlight the subjective ways of living. The daily routines, the interactions and the relations between the four year cadets of the Academy are reflected through the narrations. The importance and the role of tradition in the formation of the Greek Officer is revealed. The expression that came out effortlessly from the narrators' lips "Once a cadet, always a cadet", depicts the deep roots and strong links of the Academy, which remain stable in time. The way in which everyday life in the Academy is influenced by socio-political situations is reflected, and the role of each year of cadets and the interaction between them is discussed

Validation of the Greek Version of Euthanasia Attitude Scale (EAS) in Greek Medical Doctors

This study aimed to examine the reliability and validity of the Euthanasia Attitude Scale (EAS) in Greek medical doctors. A cross-sectional study design was conducted, including 120 physicians at clinical setting in 2019 (men 64.5%). A self-report questionnaire, including socio-demographic data and the Euthanasia Attitude Scale, which assesses attitudes towards euthanasia, were used for data collection. The mean (standard deviation) of the EAS were 74.62 (14.33). The Cronbach’s alpha was 0.944 and the confirmatory factor analysis to investigate the validity of the EAS scale, after modification effects, revealed an acceptable adjustment for the questionnaire. The GFI index was above 0.8 and close to 0.9, and the CFI index was above 0.9, which is the acceptable limit. The RMSEA index was acceptable below 0.08. The total Gr-EAS correlated with all five factors (Pearson r = 0.400–0.973, p < 0.001). According to the findings of this study, the Euthanasia Attitude Scale is a reliable and valid measure for assessing the attitudes toward euthanasia in Greek physicians. This Greek adaptation will be valuable in future studies examining the attitude of physicians towards euthanasia

Investigation of Factors That Affect the Quality of Life After a Stroke

Stroke, as a disease, describes a group of disorders characterized by the presence of central nervous system symptoms either as a result of ischemia (ischemic stroke) or bleeding (hemorrhagic stroke). The appearance of a stroke results in a permanent physical or cognitive disability. The stroke incidence is the third cause of death after heart disease and cancer, and is the main cause of long-term disability.The effects of a stroke on a patient's daily life, and hence on his quality of life, are intense and long-lasting. These include memory problems, speech difficulty, depression, reduced vision loss, and decreased walking ability. This limitation of the patient's motor activity has a direct negative impact on the quality of his life.To investigate the degree of this impact, a research was carried out at a hospital of Central Greece. The total sample consisted of 90 patients and the responses showed that post-stroke symptoms are significant. Consequences and treatment control of the disease on the life of the sample were the questions with the highest score showing the significant effect that a stroke has on life the patients.More specifically, the sample showed through responses that the disease affects their lives to a great extent. The pre-stroke scores on the domains of the sample are clearly higher than post-stroke. The highest difference was found in the use of the upper extremities in self-care and family roles while the lowest was found in the domain of thinking. The most affected domains were as follows: thinking, vision, and language. Alternatively, the least affected domain was family roles
