Although subsurface traps have been regularly explored for hydrocarbon exploration, natural gas and CO2 storage has drawn industrial attention over the past few decades, thanks to the increasing demand for energy resources and the need for greenhouse gas mitigation. With only one depleted hydrocarbon field in Greece, saline aquifers, salt caverns and sedimentary basins ought to be evaluated in furtherance of the latter. Within this study the potential of the Greek subsurface for underground storage is discussed. An overview and re-evaluation of the so-far studied areas is implemented based on the available data. Lastly, a pragmatic approach for the storage potential in Greece was created, delineating gaps and risks in the already proposed sites. Based on the above details, a case study for CO2 storage is presented, which is relevant to the West Katakolo field saline aquifer.

Although the literature emphasizes the link between digital competence (DC) and IT adoption, there is a lack of understanding of how DC can be conceptualized in an SME context. Drawing on the literatures on SMEs and DC and on the change agentry perspective, this multi-case study proposes a multi-dimensional conceptualization of DC and empirically tests a typology of three DC archetypes of SME employees: Technical Expert, Organizer, and Campaigner. The results from a multi-case study of three Canadian SMEs suggest that the development of DC should focus on the complementarity nature of the technological, social and cognitive dimensions of the DC.

The paper deals with aspects of sociology, social policy, and health, with particular reference to the Polish experience. Some traits of Polish sociology are characterized, especially its pragmatic approach and its relationship with social practice. Also, two methodologic models of practical applications of sociology as proposed in the Polish literature are discussed, the first based on the assumption that sociology should be integrated into all spheres of social life, and the second calling for a fundamental reorientation of sociology. An attempt is made to show how health is being incorporated in the applied social sciences and social engineering. The current situation relating to utilization of sociologic studies in various spheres of Polish practice is discussed, particularly in the area of health.

The article presents a case study on the use of specially prepared 5W-1H and 4M sheets for the analysis of the problem during the visual inspection process of the electric device, in order to solve it. The identified problem was related to inconsistent assessments during the visual (alternative) inspection of chamber gaps of the electric switch. The research methodology was presented the same as results confirming the effectiveness of the problem analysis in the area of quality control by using these two methods of Lean and WCM concepts. The article aimed to show that a skilful and pragmatic approach to the problem supported by appropriate tools can contribute to its effective solution.

The aim of the research was to show that the Program for the Education of Foreign Languages, a specific English language that was organized by the Municipality, contributed to the advertising of its tourist units, thereby contributing to the revenue, ie the occupancy in the number of reservations. The paper used a quantization method, a questionnaire survey. point to the fact that it is necessary to invest in the Education Program so that the older population, in particular, acquires the general level of digital literacy and foreign language learning, for the purpose of finding an adequate media for advertising and strengthening the tourist capital of a municipality.
