| The Transmission and Maintenance of Diaspora Identity Through time and Generation as part of the 14th Annual International Conference on Visual and Performing Arts Academic Responsible: Dr. Maria-Irini Avgoulas, Academic Member & Casual Academic, School of Health, Medical & Applied Sciences, CQUniversity Australia and Cultural Counselling and Consultancy, Australia. Diaspora communities with their specific cultural identity are found throughout the world and exist on a continuum of redevelopment as they evolve. The experience of diaspora identity and the transmission of memory culture that supports identity maintenance may vary by generation, the original migrants and their descendants born in diaspora. Diaspora community members of all generations may maintain a sense of nostalgia but also negative emotions of not belonging to either their original homeland or the host community. This may be expressed as having two homelands and, in a sense, belonging to both. While potentially enriching, diaspora identity may in fact be more like belonging nowhere and being a stranger in both cultures. This may represent a negative emotion associated with the experience of migration and acculturation despite the generation of membership. This session will explore the transmission and maintenance of diaspora identity through time and generation and consider how associated psychosocial factors and the recreated social environment of the culture of origin may influence wellbeing and the experience of illness that are significant factors in overall health as well as the promotion of health and wellbeing in diaspora. | Abstract Submitting Form |

| Israeli-Turkish Relationship: The Regional Dimension as part of the 21st Annual International Conference on Politics & International Studies Academic Responsible: Dr. Orna Almog, Deputy Head, Politics & International Affairs Unit, ATINER & Senior Lecturer (Retired), Kingston University, UK. The aim of this symposium is to analyse and discuss the nature of Turkish-Israeli relations since 2019 against the wider background of regional and national developments. Ever since the 2010 Mavi Marmara incident, the relations between the two parties were identified by suspicion, mistrust and ‘bad blood’. While Turkey’s quest for growing leadership role in the region failed, Israel’s regional position has improved dramatically. It further solidified relations with Greece and Cyprus and increased cooperation with Egypt and Jordan. Furthermore, thanks to US’s initiative, Israel signed the ‘Abrahams accords ‘; the peace agreements with the UAR and Bahrain in the summer of 2020 followed by the peace treaties with Sudan and Morocco in autumn- winter 2020. Some of the maim questions to be addressed are – what the main reasons behind Erdogan’s policy change towards Israel and neighbouring countries? How central is the Iranian question to the improvement of the relations? What are the main obstacles to rebuilding an open trustworthy relation between Israel and Turkey? What, if at all, are the implications of closer relations with Ankara on Israel’s relations with Cyprus and Greece? Do we witness a new dawn in Turkish-Israeli relations? And could the war in Ukraine and the countries’ similar dilemmas vis- a-vis Russia contribute to a better future understanding. | Abstract Submitting Form |

| Latin America Democracy and Politics as part of the 21st Annual International Conference on Politics & International Studies Academic Responsible: Dr. Raquel de Caria Patrício, Academic Member, ATINER & Associate Professor, University of Lisbon, Portugal. Considering the transformations Latin American countries have been living since the beginning of the XXI century, according to which elections follows one to another as well as subversive processes, it is of extreme importance and relevance to reflect on the Latin American democratic and political processes throughout a symposium dedicated to the issue. Indeed, if in 2011 the left turn was in full swing, during 2010 and 2018 the number of democracies with left wing presidents could be counted in one hand. Moreover, from 2018/2019 onwards it has been witnessed to a different phenomenon in Latin America. The right-wing governments that appeared so powerful seem now to be giving their places to left-wing governments. Or, in other words, it seems that exists both right-wing and left-wing governments with a predominance of these last ones. This means that from 2018/2019 onwards there is a cohabitation in the region with right-wing and left-wing governments, with a possible new turn to the left. In this sense, another possibility is that the region is experiencing a less ideologically coherent anti-incumbent turn (Loxton, 2021, p. xi), whose one of the characteristics if the populism. | Abstract Submitting Form |

| Human Resource Accounting as part of the 21st International Conference on Accounting Academic Responsible: Dr. Joseph VanVo, Adjunct Professor, College of Business Administration, California State University, Sacramento, USA. Human Resource Accounting (HRA) is a proposed cost accounting system which quantifies the worth and expense of human resources in terms of employees’ overall soft skills namely knowledge, experience, expertise, motivation, creativity, followership, leadership, etc. along with organizational recruitment, training, development, promotion, transfer, relocation, termination, etc. It is therefore the value and cost of human resource characteristics and activities within an organization. HRA had been initiated in the 1960’s and became somewhat vibrantly worldwide through the 1970’s, 1980’s…up to 1990’s…then has since been in impasse. In its place is the Workforce Analytics (Valamis, 2021) which is the process of using data-based intelligence to improve and enhance human resource decision making, like managing and hiring top talent, aligning compensation with performance etc. It leverages “big data” to make informed workplace decisions and predictions. Perhaps, nowadays, HRA can be realized through Workforce Analytics? At least that is the thought of two well-known authors of the HRA models – Dr. Flamholtz (UCLA) and Dr. Ogan (U of Florida) – whom I had the honor of meeting virtually and f2f during the Summer 2018 and Fall 2019, respectively. | Abstract Submitting Form |

| Architectural Form in Relation to its Purposes as part of the 13th Annual International Conference on Architecture Academic Responsible: Dr. Llazar Kumaraku, Academic Member, ATINER & Head of Scientific Research Department, Polis University of Tirana, Albania. In the discipline of architecture, as pointed out by many intellectuals, in the current global panorama there is clearly a disconnection between theoretical research and the practice of making architecture. Often the goals of architecture are confused with research in architecture. While we all agree that the goals of architecture are all positive, the problem is exposed at the methodological level as to how these goals are achieved from the formal point of view. This special session within the Architecture Conference in Athens aims to collect scientific articles related to methodological research and the composition of architectural form in the current global panorama, which can focus on different purposes. If nowadays the keywords that can be interpreted as the goals of architecture are for example sustainability or resilience, the research question on how the form of architecture could be sustainable, relational, or resilient, is almost never raised. This session is open to papers that focus their research on the composition of form at the urban and/or architectural level in order to achieve the above goals. | Abstract Submitting Form |

| Global Data Management as part of the 17th Annual International Conference on Global Studies Academic Member Responsible: Dr. Timothy M. Young, Director, Center for Data Science (CDS), Emeritus Professor, The University of Tennessee, USA & CEO and President, T.M. Young Institute, LLC, USA. As the global societies evolve in the 4th Industrial Revolution, ‘data science’ is emerging as an essential research discipline for academicians and practitioners that transcends the mathematical, statistical, and computational sciences. Data science incorporates the studies of artificial intelligence, big data, data mining, data fusion, data quality management, etc. (‘Industrie 4.0.’), and is a shared belief for success in our global societies, business, and institutional sectors. Many have cited that only 10% of data science research by academia is assimilated by the private and institutional sectors. The 1st inaugural conference on ‘Data Science’ attempts to reduce this gap by organizing networking opportunities for researchers and practitioners by being a global leader in developing conferences, education, publications, and research on contemporary topics essential in sustaining the global economy and the environment. Research papers and presentations are sought in: artificial intelligence, big data, data mining, data fusion, data quality management, and predictive analytics, as applied to all disciplines in the institutional, service, and business sectors. | Abstract Submitting Form Provisional Program |
