<p>This paper, which brought to an end the One-day Conference, titled"Greek Communities and the European World (13th-19th centuries). Patternsof self-administration, social organization, identities' formation", attempts tosynthesize and summarize the conclusions of the research programme of thesame name, with an emphasis on communities in Greek lands under Venetianrule. These communities are approached as a factor in the formation of socialclasses and as the driving force behind the development of forms of regionalself-governing. The programme concluded that the communities were linkedto Europe via the rule of Venice, while their 'Greekness' relates both to theGreek lands as a whole, despite border variations, and to their members, the"Greci", considerable numbers of whom were to gradually acquire positionsof note in the communities alongside their Latin overlords.</p><p>The research team identified, catalogued and digitized a mass of historicalmaterial, the three most important sources of which were the embassies, theregisters of marriages and births/deaths and the communities' statutes. Thishistorical material, which is now held at the University of Athens, alsoconstituted the main source for the synthesizing studies published in thisvolume. The material will also be available to the community of historians forfuture study and will play its part in furthering university research andteaching.</p>

University research team, as a special form of organizations in university, is a characteristic feature of contemporaneity science.it has a rapid development in recent years. But the trust is playing a very important role in research team’s development. The paper analyzes the trust construction of research team by establish one-shot and repeated trust game models, and based on this, establishes the trust game model with university intervention. The conclusion shows that the trust mechanism will not be constructed by one-shot game. While it can be constructed by repeated game, but its trust mechanism is not stable. With the university intervation, the team members will change their behavior and increase the trust probability, and it will be easily construct trust in university research team. According to the above analysis, the paper presents some countermeasures and suggestions to promote trust construction in university research team.

Over the last twenty five years the Department of Physics at the University of Auckland has grown from a small group into an organisation of considerable size and stature. Under the guidance first of
 Professor Burbidge and then of Professor Brown the Department has developed a comprehensive course structure at the undergraduate and graduate levels and established a high reputation widely recognised today. In spite of the difficulties facing all pioneers in University education in those early years, these men were also able to foster a research programme capable of giving substance to all courses, particularly to those offered at the graduate level. With their interest and enthusiasm as the driving force, research into nuclear physics, the field of their choice, increased steadily in scope, and today the Department of Physics boasts an impressive array of sophisticated equipment housed in its Nuclear Physics Laboratories.

This chapter discusses a specific grassroots initiative of an economically disadvantaged Pacific Island community from Tokelau who has been displaced to New Zealand. To retain their island culture, community members sought to develop a centre as a source of their empowerment, one which would ‘capture the essence of a Tokelau village'. They invited the School of Architecture at the University of Wellington to assist with its development. The guiding principles of this empowerment project are grassroots participation, mutual decision-making and shared implementation. The application of these principles is particularly befitting to participatory design methods. Despite some challenges, a number of benefits from this community's project can be cited. These include the strengthening of their sense of community, preservation of aspects of culture and a collective shared vision for the future. The fundamental idea here is that communities need to be able to seek, and receive help that empowers them rather than being offered potentially subsuming interventions. This was achieved through the development of trust between the university research team and the members of the Tokelau community. The opportunity for the university students and the Tokelau youth to engage and learn from each other were part of unanticipated additional outcomes.

<p>This paper provides an overview of the above research programme, whichwas implemented as part of the PYTHAGORAS II programme administeredby the EU in collaboration with the Hellenic Ministry of Education andReligious Matters and the University of Athens. Professors Olga Katsiardi-Hering and Anastasia Papadia-Lala and Assistant Professor Maria Efthymiou,members of the Department of History and Archaeology, undertook academicresponsibility for the project. The research team consisted of Ph.D. holders andcandidates and post-graduate students (Vassiliki Seirinidou and KaterinaKonstantinidou, as well as Dimitrios Kontogeorgis, Marina Koumanoudi,Sotiris Koutmanis, Ikaros Mantouvalos, Katerina Mousadakou, ChristinaPapacosta, Lambros Travlos), with the contribution of Professor ChryssaMaltezou, Director of the Hellenic Institute of Byzantine and Post-ByzantineStudies of Venice, and Professor Olga Cicanci (Archival Studies at Bucharest).</p><p>The historical category of the community as a factor in the history of NewHellenism lies at the heart of the research, which explored various aspects ofthe phenomenon through an examination of numerous urban communities inGreek lands under Venetian rule (13th-18th centuries) on the one hand, and ofthe communities of the Diaspora on the other: the Greek Brotherhood ofVenice, Greek communities and commercial companies in the HabsburgMonarchy, Greek communities in the Trans-Danubian Principalities/ Romania.The two types of community are linked by their connection with Europe, theirsecularity and by their contribution to the emergence of the identity of theGreek populations in a complex politico-cultural environment.

<p>This is one of the articles based on the research carried out in the contextof the European research programme PYTHAGORAS II titled «Greekcommunities and the European world (13th-19th centuries). Aspects of selfadministration,social organization, formation of identities», which was realized in the Department of History and Archaeology at the University ofAthens. In the text are discussed the results of the research made by the collaborators of the programme in the archives of Venice, Vienna, Hungary, Romania and referring to the organization of the Greek communities in thesecities and lands. The gathered material (especially statutes referring to theadministration of the communities, schools etc.), as well as the up to nowknown archival material and literature conducted us to conclusions discussedin this paper. The above article provides an attempt at typology of six groupsof organization, beginning from the case 'confraternity'/community of Venice (15th century onward), to those of the Transylvanian 'companies' (17th century onward) as well as the Habsburg lands communities (18th - beginning19th centuries). The typology is based on the data-base form systematized material, which gives answers concerning the comparison of the various typesand terms of administration, the relations between the Greek and othersettlers and the reception-countries too, the role of the home tradition andthat of the various group-immigrants from the Balkan lands, the developmentin the organization forms during the time, the influence of the emergence ofnationalism.</p><p>The article completes the publication and the comparative analysis of theunknown, till now, statutes of the Greek 'company'/community in Miskolc/Hungary (1801) found in the Borsod archive of Miskolc.</p>

In the last decade and a half, thin film research, particularly research into problems associated with epitaxy, has developed from a simple empirical process of determining the conditions for epitaxy into a complex analytical and experimental study of the nucleation and growth process on the one hand and a technology of very great importance on the other. During this period the thin films group of the University of Chile has studied the epitaxy of metals on metal and insulating substrates. The development of the group, one of the first research groups in physics to be established in the country, has parallelled the increasing complexity of the field.The elaborate techniques and equipment now needed for research into thin films may be illustrated by considering the plant and facilities of this group as characteristic of a good system for the controlled deposition and study of thin films.

Cecil Cameron Ewing (1925-2006) was a lecturer and head of ophthalmology at the University of Saskatchewan. Throughout his Canadian career, he was an active researcher who published several articles on retinoschisis and was the editor of the Canadian Journal of Ophthalmology. For his contributions to Canadian ophthalmology, the Canadian Ophthalmological Society awarded Ewing a silver medal. Throughout his celebrated medical career, Ewing maintained his passion for music. His love for music led him to be an active member in choir, orchestra, opera and chamber music in which he sang and played the piano, violin and viola. He was also the director of the American Liszt Society and a member for over 40 years. The connection between music and ophthalmology exists as early as the 18th Century. John Taylor (1703-1772) was an English surgeon who specialized in eye diseases. On the one hand, Taylor was a scientist who contributed to ophthalmology by publishing books on ocular physiology and diseases, and by advancing theories of strabismus. On the other hand, Taylor was a charlatan who traveled throughout Europe and blinded many patients with his surgeries. Taylor’s connection to music was through his surgeries on two of the most famous Baroque composers: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and George Frederick Handel (1685-1759). Bach had a painful eye disorder and after two surgeries by Taylor, Bach was blind. Handel had poor or absent vision prior to Taylor’s surgery, and his vision did not improve after surgery. The connection between ophthalmology and music spans over three centuries from the surgeries of Taylor to the musical passion of Ewing. Ewing E. Cecil Cameron Ewing. BMJ 2006; 332(7552):1278.
