abstract = {This study presents a professional development (PD) program designed within the “SciArt—Promoting 21st-century skills through an inclusive STEAM approach to Cultural Heritage” project, which aims to prepare teachers to implement an inclusive, inquiry-based STEAM approach in their classrooms. The approach, developed collaboratively by academics from the arts, sciences, and cultural sectors across Cyprus, Greece, and Portugal, integrates archaeometric methods with cultural heritage to support identity exploration and inclusive pedagogy. The study explores how participating teachers evaluated the PD program, how it influenced their self-efficacy in applying inclusive, inquiry-based STEAM approaches, and how teacher trainers experienced its implementation across different national contexts. The study utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection, comprising questionnaires and a focus group. Results show high teacher satisfaction and increased self-efficacy across four thematic areas: inquiry-based learning, science-heritage integration, cultural identity exploration, and use of multimodality for inclusion. Teacher trainers described the process as demanding but professionally enriching, emphasizing the role of interdisciplinary collaboration. These findings highlight the potential of well-supported, theoretically grounded PD programs to build capacity for inclusive STEAM education, while also revealing structural barriers that must be addressed for wider implementation.},

abstract = {The Rotunda in Thessaloniki, Greece, preserves in its interior a magnificent wall mosaic assemblage of unique inspiration and beauty. Thirty-six (36) glass tesserae, blue, green, yellow, brown, black, gold and silver in color, were examined for the first time via UV-Vis reflectance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, in order to investigate the base glass composition, and their technological and morphological features. Despite the heterogeneity observed in the glass composition, the results indicated similarities with other Early Christian and Byzantine wall mosaics in the use of colorants, opacifiers and decolorizers. Cobalt, copper, iron and manganese along with lead and tin compounds are responsible for the blue, green, yellow, brown and black colors. Tin-based opacifiers and bone ash contribute to the glass opacity. The use of different glass recipes and opacifiers in the Rotunda’s assemblage reflects the transition from the Roman glass tradition to the Byzantine glass production of the fourth and the fifth century in the eastern Mediterranean.},

abstract = {In cultural heritage, various methods have addressed three-dimensional (3D) digitization and reconstruction using two-dimensional (2D) images, including shape from structured light, shape from stereo, and structure from motion. A common challenge is the recognition of the distance of objects in a scene from the viewpoint, usually called depth. Recognizing depth in 2D photographs remains a challenge in computer vision. Deep Learning techniques have improved this area, particularly in what is called monocular depth estimation. This work investigates the applicability of state-of-the-art monocular depth estimation methods as a preliminary step toward complete and automated 3D reconstruction of cultural heritage artifacts. As image-based 3D reconstruction is extremely time-consuming and expertise-demanding, monocular depth estimation methods could provide significant advantages in speeding up the overall process. Our preliminary experiments yield promising results, with a mean accuracy of 88.15%, a mean RMSE error of 37.35, and a mean PSNR of 27.37 dB across these methods.},

abstract = {Anglicisms, a type of lexical borrowing, occur when a language incorporates English lexical items into its vocabulary, either verbatim or transliterated. Pseudo-Anglicisms are also notable; these appear English due to their form but are not genuinely English. This paper examines the inclusion and treatment of Anglicisms and pseudo-Anglicisms in Modern Greek dictionaries, focusing on nouns that end in -ing, a suffix typical of English morphology. The methodology involves a macrostructural comparison of five Greek dictionaries to assess their inclusiveness in addressing this phenomenon. The microstructural analysis investigates the presence of Greek equivalents within the dictionaries. Findings are cross-checked against a corpus to determine which alternatives Greek native speakers are more familiar with. Additionally, the research explores elements such as the domains, and styles of the identified lexical items to reveal trends in their coinage and usage.},

The corpus of Pomak compiled by ``Philotis'' contains about 140,000 words selected from a variety of text types including web articles, pieces of news, novels, poems, proverbs, traditional songs, folk tales and language lessons. The resources that resulted from this effort are openly available to Natural Language Processing practitioners and could be helpful for an advanced quantitative and qualitative analysis of the use and structure of Pomak.},

abstract = {Developing language treebanks is a challenging and time-consuming process, especially for under-resourced languages with limited data. This study proposes the use of active learning approaches to automate aspects of this process, aiming to reduce both annotation duration and cost. We propose practical active annotation schemes in which experts strategically select sentences for the training set, initiating a circular process involving annotation prediction, expert correction, and model retraining. To validate the feasibility of these schemes, we applied them to 300 annotated sentences from the newly created Pomak corpus (an under-resourced language), recently published in Universal Dependencies treebanks, as the result of our efforts. Through experiments involving a simple weighted summation of annotation errors, we identified an optimal strategy. This strategy resulted in a 69% reduction in total annotation duration and an associated 81% decrease in total corresponding cost compared to a typical manual annotation, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach.},

Health applications often need to balance advanced AI functionalities with sufficient privacy measures to ensure user engagement. This paper presents the architecture of FLORA, a privacy-first ovulation-tracking application that leverages federated learning (FL), privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs), and blockchain to protect user data while delivering accurate and personalized health insights. Unlike conventional centralized systems, FLORA ensures that sensitive information remains on users’ devices, with predictive algorithms powered by local computations. Blockchain technology provides immutable consent tracking and model update transparency, further improving user trust. In addition, FLORA’s design incentivizes participation through a token-based reward system, fostering collaborative data contributions. This work illustrates how the integration of cutting-edge technologies creates a secure, scalable, and user-centric health application, setting a new standard for privacy-preserving digital health platforms.},

abstract = {The identification and classification of textiles play a crucial role in archaeometric studies, in the vicinity of their technological, economic, and cultural significance. Traditional textile analysis is closely related to optical microscopy and observation, while other microscopic, analytical, and spectroscopic techniques prevail over fiber identification for composition purposes. This protocol can be invasive and destructive for the artifacts under study, time-consuming, and it often relies on personal expertise. In this preliminary study, an alternative, macroscopic approach is proposed, based on texture and surface textile characteristics, using low-magnification images and deep learning models. Under this scope, a publicly available, imbalanced textile image dataset was used to pretrain and evaluate six computer vision architectures (ResNet50, EfficientNetV2, ViT, ConvNeXt, Swin Transformer, and MaxViT). In addition to accuracy, energy efficiency and ecological footprint of the process were assessed using the CodeCarbon tool. The results indicate that two of the convolutional neural network models, Swin and EfficientNetV2, both deliver competitive accuracies together with low carbon emissions, in comparison to the transformer and hybrid models. This alternative, promising, sustainable, and non-invasive approach for textile classification demonstrates the feasibility of developing a custom, heritage-based image dataset.},

abstract = {To date, there exist almost no culturally-specific evaluation benchmarks for large language models (LLMs) that cover a large number of languages and cultures. In this paper, we present Global PIQA, a participatory commonsense reasoning benchmark for over 100 languages, constructed by hand by 335 researchers from 65 countries around the world. The 116 language varieties in Global PIQA cover five continents, 14 language families, and 23 writing systems. In the non-parallel split of Global PIQA, over 50% of examples reference local foods, customs, traditions, or other culturally-specific elements. We find that state-of-the-art LLMs perform well on Global PIQA in aggregate, but they exhibit weaker performance in lower-resource languages (up to a 37% accuracy gap, despite random chance at 50%). Open models generally perform worse than proprietary models. Global PIQA highlights that in many languages and cultures, everyday knowledge remains an area for improvement, alongside more widely-discussed capabilities such as
complex reasoning and expert knowledge. Beyond its uses for LLM evaluation, we hope that Global PIQA provides a glimpse into the wide diversity of cultures in which human language is embedded.},

The project involves the use of living cultures of microalgae, i.e., Chlorella vulgaris or Spirulina platensis, for the bioremediation of contaminated water bodies, while cultivating the microalgae at the same time. Experiments are conducted at both laboratory and large scales, under both controlled and real conditions, towards the investigation of the underlying mechanisms. Advanced instruments are used to determine the quantitative and qualitative properties of the produced biomass and the liquid medium. Efforts are also made to explore potential applications of the contaminated or regenerated cells. Machine learning techniques are also employed to analyze the acquired data and develop a model for the prediction of cell growth based on cultivation parameters, which will be validated in real case studies.},

conversational assistant that aids students in managing self-directed study routines, exploring new concepts, and receiving automated feedback. Drawing on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), the study involved 117 participants (32 teachers and 85 students) from four European countries who engaged in hands-on workshops. User perceptions were measured through a TAM-based questionnaire covering four constructs: Perceived Ease of Use (PEOU), Perceived Usefulness (PU), Attitudes Toward Use (ATU), and Self-Efficacy (SE). Findings reveal generally high levels of acceptance across both groups, with teachers reporting significantly higher scores in ATU and SE. By contrast, PU received lower ratings, highlighting the need to adapt the applications more closely to users’ instructional and learning requirements. The results point to the importance of user-centered design, tailored training initiatives, and strategies to build trust in order to encourage equitable adoption. This work contributes
to the growing body of research on educational AI and offers practical guidance for designing inclusive and effective AI-supported learning environments.},

Olfactory memories in particular are tightly connected to people, places and the physical 3D space and they are deeply ingrained in our emotion; they have a profound ability to connect people and communities through deeply shared experiences. The emerging field of Olfactory Cultural Heritage focuses on ways to capture, present and share olfactory experiences that are of value to a community. In this chapter, we suggest that digital maps can be employed to this end, functioning as a highly interactive medium. This requires that one goes beyond state of the art use of maps for documenting, delimiting and connecting heritage sites to their physical contexts, to employing maps as a communication tool; we identify the interdisciplinary challenges involved in large-scale collection, cartographic representation and visualisation of olfactory memories and propose research directions that require joint efforts from a number of disciplines including Cartography, Language Science and Engineering, and Cognitive Science.},

abstract = {The integration of advanced game engines and web technologies has transformed the intersection of culture, education, and gaming. This paper introduces Museatopia, an innovative virtual world framework designed specifically to become the Metaverse for virtual museums and exhibitions. Museatopia supports natural, user-friendly, immersive interaction, allowing, on one hand, the museum owners to easily curate their virtual presence with custom virtual exhibitions, and, on the other hand, the visitors to participate in rich cultural experiences. By combining digital content from various museums, Museatopia provides a dynamic cultural Metaverse, where even small museums can showcase and promote their content on a global scale without any digital skill requirements, greatly supporting their sustainability.},

abstract = {A major challenge faced by visually impaired visitors in museums is the limited availability of haptic experiences, due to the ``do not touch'' principle, inevitably imposed in such places. This limitation discourages them from truly exploring exhibits, as their primary mode of experiencing the world relies on touch and hearing. Although many museums worldwide strive to eliminate this barrier, museums in Greece seem to be slow in meeting relevant standards, thus resulting in places with limited accessibility. However, Greek museums increasingly recognize the importance of providing various tactile experiences to bridge this gap. Research projects and small-scale technological applications are being implemented with encouraging results, but financial constraints, lack of awareness and specialized staff training are some of the challenges that limit the more extended and permanent incorporation of such tools and systems.},
