In the era of radical socio-economic-technological developments, the Library and Information Science sector in Greece is undergoing a series of changes in a dialectic relation with technological changes. Libraries in Greece have a long history, from the Academy of Plato and the Lyceum of Aristotle in the 5th century BC to the transition of the National Library of Greece at the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre. This paper aims to provide an overview and record the milestones signifying the beginning of the changes happening in every aspect of the Greek LIS landscape. In addition, it aims to highlight the changes in the Greek library scene, extending from synergies and networks to new library buildings, as well as the role of LIS education and lifelong learning.

Delivering services and projects in a brownfield environment has unique challenges. Brownfield, by its very nature, involves highly constrained and dynamic environments. This requires stakeholders to work collaboratively and be creative and nimble. Effective communication between client and service provider is essential. This is because the decision-making horizons are significantly shorter and consequences are more immediate. Brownfield projects are typically organised to minimise inter-discipline interfaces, with seamless delivery from engineering through to construction. Engineering effort needs to be the right sized based on the level of complexity and risk involved to ensure the effort and cost expended is appropriate for the modification or upgrade. When planning and executing brownfield projects, the following areas require special focus: health, safety and the environment—to cope with the inherently higher risks due to live inventory, lack of space, simultaneous operations and increased personnel; interface with operations—to plan, manage and minimise disruption to production; live systems—to assess the impact/disruption to energised systems and coordinate tie-ins; production—to minimise disruption and ensure that the project is executed safely while production continues; hot work—to a minimum and where necessary contain naked flame and spark activity on site; integrity—to ensure the condition of the asset is well understood and any sub-system upgrades to accommodate the modification are identified; limited space—to accommodate temporary project facilities, minimising the impact on operations and maintenance activities; and, access—to ensure that the project is planned to lessen disruption, maximise off-site preparation and to minimise on-site construction. Systematic program management, project engineering, and a tiered engineering approach are essential to cost effective and timely delivery. For each of the eight key areas we detail some of the subtle and enabling strategies/tools that distinguish brownfield project delivery from greenfield.

In a rapidly changing world where new global challenges are striking their wings all over the world, it is recognized in the modern world that CTI is one of the engines of social and economic development and the drive for globalization. It will be more effective in the future. One of the solutions to these changes lies in science, technology and innovation. Science, technology and innovation are an engine for the task of economic development, but at the same time pose new challenges, as they contribute to the restructuring of the present world in the foreseeable future. In the same context, science, technology and innovation have a growing size in all areas of modern society, and this is manifest in the current international relations and the international presence of a country and its image in the world. The ability to bring about scientific and technological developments, innovation or attract talent are fundamental aspects of soft power and public diplomacy, and represent a framework for the state.

The Impact

Forecasting customers’ responses and market competitions is essential before launching major technological changes in product design. In this research, we present a data-driven network analysis approach to understand the interactions among technologies, products, and customers. Such an approach provides a quantitative assessment of the impact of technological changes on customers’ co-consideration behaviors. The multiple regression quadratic assignment procedure (MRQAP) is employed to quantitatively predict product co-consideration relations as a function of various effect networks created by associations of product attributes and customer demographics. The uniqueness of the proposed approach is its capability of predicting complex relationships of product co-consideration as a network. Using vehicles as a case study, we forecast the impacts of two technological changes — adopting the fuel economy-boosting technology and the turbo engine technology by individual auto companies. The case study provides vehicle designers with insights into the change of market competitions brought by new technological developments. Our proposed approach links the market complexity to technology features and subsequently product design attributes to guide engineering design decisions in the complex customer-product systems.

In recent years, numerous researches and studies confirm differences between Generations in their values, attitudes, or characteristics. However, the challenge is to get to know the Generation Z, whose individuals are currently entering the labor market for research and practical application. The presented paper aims to expand the knowledge of Generations Y and Z in the field of individualism and self-reliance. This issue is examined concerning independence regarding housing and financial independence to parental help. The aim of the study is an empirical verification of possible similarities and differences between Generations Y and Z. The study is based on an online questionnaire survey. Data were obtained from more than 1,500 respondents of these Generations (born in 1982–2005) in 5 European countries (Czech Republic, Denmark, the Netherlands, Poland, and Slovakia). Data are examined using a two-tailed t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, and regression analysis. The overall findings of the study indicate intergenerational differences in the issue of independence, with Generation Z, unlike Millennials, becoming more self-sufficient at a younger age. Research has also found that women leave the parental household earlier than men. The paper presents the possible influence of the outputs on the working environment and work motivation of the Generations Y and Z. AcknowledgmentThe paper was created with the support of the project SGS-2020-015 “Research in selected areas of management and marketing of organisations in the context of demographic and technological changes.”
