Στην παρούσα εργασία έγινε προσπάθεια να διερευνηθούν οι υδρογεωλογικές συνθήκες των καρστικών υδροφόρων οριζόντων του κεντρικού τμήματος του νομού Αχαΐας και να οριοθετηθούν οι κύριες υδρογεωλογικές λεκάνες ή ενότητες της περιοχής. Στα πλαίσια της έρευνας αυτής εκτελέσθηκαν οι παρακάτω εργασίες: α) Γεωλογική αναγνώριση της περιοχής. β) Ανάλυση του υδρογραφικού δικτύου και του μορφολογικού αναγλύφου της περιοχής έρευνας. γ) Χάραξη γεωλογικών τομών που καλύπτουν όλη την περιοχή μελέτης με σκοπό τη διερεύνηση του υδρογεωλογικού καθεστώτος στην περιοχή. δ) Αναγνώριση των κυριοτέρων πηγών στην ύπαιθρο και σχεδιασμός σκαριφημάτων για κάθε μία από αυτές. ε) Χάραξη υδρογεωλογικών λεκανών για την περιοχή μελέτης που αποστραγγίζονται από τις αντίστοιχες πηγές. ζ) Επεξεργασία των υδροχημικών δεδομένων στα νερά των πηγών. Σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα που προέκυψαν από την παρούσα έρευνα φαίνεται ότι η έντονη τεκτονική καταπόνηση που έχουν δεχθεί οι γεωλογικοί σχηματισμοί κατά το παρελθόν παίζει σημαντικό ρόλο στη διαμόρφωση των υδρογεωλογικών λεκανών της περιοχής, καθώς τα ρήγματα ελέγχουν την εξάπλωσή τους. Ακόμη, τα παράλληλα τεκτονικά λέπια δημιουργούν υδρογεωλογικές λεκάνες διεύθυνσης περίπου Β-Ν. Τοπικό επίπεδο βάσης αποτελούν πολλές φορές οι πυριτικές παρενστρώσεις των ανωκρητιδικών ασβεστολίθων, αφού συντελούν στο σχηματισμό μικρής σημασίας υδροφόρων οριζόντων. Στα μέτωπα των επωθήσεων παρουσιάζεται μεγαλύτερο ποσοστό καρστοποίησης των ασβεστολίθων (π.χ. Καλούσι, Πλατανόβρυση) λόγω μεγαλύτερης καταπόνησης των πετρωμάτων στις περιοχές αυτές. Τα διαγράμματα Piper δίνουν γενικά τύπο νερού Ca – HCO3 που δείχνει νερά που φιλοξενούνται σε καθαρά ασβεστολιθικούς υδροφόρους. Τέλος, η πλήρης ή μερική υδρομάστευση των πηγών συντελεί στην αλλαγή του υδραυλικού καθεστώτος των πηγών, με αποτέλεσμα μερικές από αυτές να μην λειτουργούν πλέον, ενώ η ρύπανση του νερού των πηγών σε ορισμένες θέσεις οφείλεται καθαρά σε ανθρωπογενείς δραστηριότητες. / This paper presents the results of the hydrogeological research in the karst aquifers conducted in the central part of the Achaia province, as well as the limitation of the hydrogeological basins. During the research, the tasks that were performed were the following: a) Geological research of the whole area. b) Geomorphological and hydrographical analysis of the research area. c) Side elevations in order to define the hydrogeological conditions in the exploration area. d) Location of the springs and drawing side elevations for each one of them. e) Drawing of the hydrogeological basins that are dewatered of the springs. f) Elaboration of the hydrochemical data of the spring waters. According to the results that came up at the end of this research, it seems that the tectonic pressure to the rocks and the sediments of the area has infected the development of the hydrogeological basins because the faults usually control their diffusion. Furthermore, the parallel tectonic flakes form hydrogeological basins with a North-South orientation. Local base-level of the karst aquifers are usually the clay intrusions inside the limestone layers, that form aquifers of small importance. In the areas near the thrust, there is bigger solution in the karst aquifers (e.g. Platanovrisi, Kalousi etc.), because of the amount of pressure that affected those areas. The Piper diagrams suggest a water type of Ca-HCO3 that shows water from limestone aquifers. Finally, the use of the spring waters in many cases is so big that it affects the level of the underground water, while the contamination of the water seems to be imputed to the stock farming in some places.

The operation and maintenance phase of a complex technical system may deal with strategicdecisions for asset retirement and end-of-life management. When a fleet of aircraft reachesthe retirement phase, the operation of remaining fleet should still be kept at a defined level ofavailability. Obviously, the provisioning of spares is a key issue to support the maintenanceand operation of the remaining fleet. The best practice within the aviation industry is to re-usethe spares of retired aircraft to support the operational fleet. This is referred to parting-out.The purpose of the research conducted for this thesis has been to develop decision supportmethodologies, models and tools for the management of a sustainable part-out-based sparesprovisioning for an aircraft fleet during its retirement period. The proposed methodology willbe used to support the retirement process of aircraft fleet and enhance the organisation’scapability of making efficient and cost-effective decisions concerning the re-use of spare partsduring the retirement period. To achieve the purpose of this research, literature studies, casestudies, algorithm development and simulations have been conducted. Empirical data havebeen collected through document studies, interviews, and the perusal of archival records fromSaab Support and Services AB. The data analysis performed for this research has been basedon theories and methodologies within reliability analysis, cost modelling, spares forecasting,stock provisioning and decision making, in combination with the best practices implementedby the aviation industry for the end-of-life management and retirement of aircraft.In the present thesis, part-out-based spares provisioning (PBSP) program is proposed to utiliseretired aircraft units effectively as spare parts. The proposed approach is illustrated andverified through a case study performed on the “Saab-105” military aircraft fleet withinSwedish air force fleet. A PBSP programme is proposed, associated management activitiesare described, the key decision criteria are presented, and a functional framework for aneffective PBSP is suggested. The proposed PBSP program provides a foundation for furthermeasures and tasks to be performed within the retirement period, such as terminatingmaintenance contracts, discarding internal maintenance capabilities, reviewing stocks, scalingdown administrative processes (e.g. spares procurement and obsolescence monitoring), etc.An important part of the PBSP programme is the reliability analysis of multiple repairableunits, and this has been investigated, using parametric and non-parametric reliabilityapproaches. The aim is to identify a practical approach for estimation of the future sparedemand at fleet level. Furthermore, a set of computational models and search algorithm havebeen developed for the identification of applicable termination times, of both the parting-outprocess and the maintenance and repair actions performed on the units. This includestermination of the parting-out process (PO), the sending of parted-out units directly to storage(POS), and repair actions performed on the units received at the repair shops owing tocorrective (CM) and preventive (PM) maintenance, as well as the parted-out units that need tobe repaired (POM). The feasible termination alternatives are compared with regard to theirrespective costs and the most cost-effective solutions are identified.The results of the research study show that a PBSP programme can yield large reductions inmaintenance and spares procurement costs, while supporting operation of existing fleet athighest required availability. It also contributes positively to implement a green supply chainduring the retirement phase. The methodology and approaches introduced within the thesiscan be applied in other civil applications, such as energy, mining, process industry andtransportation sectors.

My thesis examines relations among practitioners of various religions, especially Christians and Jews, during the era when Jesus’ project went from being a Galilean sect, to a persecuted minority, to religio licita status, and eventually to imperial favor, all happening between the first century resurrection of Jesus and the fourth century rise of Constantine. There is an abiding image of the Church in wider public consciousness that it is unwittingly and in some cases antagonistically exclusionist. This is not a late-developing image. I trace it to the period that the church developed into a formal organization with the establishment of canons and creeds defined by Church councils. This notion is so pervasive that an historical retrospective of Christianity of any period, from the sect that became a movement, to the Reformation, to the present day’s multiple Christian iterations, is framed by the late Patristic era. The conflicts and solutions reached in that period provided enduring definition to the Church while silencing dissent. I refer here to such actions as the destruction of books and letters and the banishment of bishops. Before there emerged the urgent perceived need for doctrinal uniformity, the presence of Christianity provided a resilient non-militant opponent to and an increasing intellectual critique of all religious traditions, including that of the official gods that were seen to hold the empire together. When glaringly manifest cleavages in the empire persisted, the Emperor Constantine sought to use the church to help bring political unity. He called for church councils, starting with Nicaea in 325 CE that took no account for churches outside the Roman Empire, and many within, even though councils were called “Ecumenical.” The presumption that the church was fully representative without asking for permission from a broader field of constituents is just that: a presumption. This thesis studies the ancient world of Christianity’s growth to explore whether, in that age of new and untested toleration, there was a more advisable way of responding to the invitation to the political table. The answer to this can help us formulate, and perhaps revise, some of our conduct today, especially for Christians who obtain a voice in powerful places. / Christian Spirituality, Church History & Missiology / D.
