MSc Applied Kinesiology in the Armed and Security Forces
Given the increased professional demands, such as crisis management, participation in international alliances, etc., physical and mental fitness are dominant elements for the effectiveness of uniformed personnel. Therefore, it is considered necessary to train Armed and Security Forces personnel for physical fitness and to improve performance and quality of life.
Your report on public health developments in Patra and Northern Greece deserve congratulations. It is a given that most narratives for public health and practical philosophy require significant strengthening and they must be integrated within a larger cognitive space that also accommodates disaster health management and health diplomacy. Greece has not been kind to its public health culture, which was thoughtfully initiated first by Capodistria and a century later was briefly consolidated by Venizelos in what was a revolution in population health. It lead to the establishment of one of the first schools of public health in Europe (1929). Although it was maintained for nine decades with legal impediments it gave Greece a helpful push up the social ladder making it more acceptable in Europe. Without the erudition of Savva and Kardamaris and with their political connections, the influence of the Health Committees of the League of Nations with some funding from the Rockefeller Foundation and the so designated, Pandemia of Dengue Fever introduced into Greece through Lebanon from Syria, a delayed visit of Venizelos to Italy it might never have seen the light of day. As Wall Street collapsed and the Prime minister was hospitalized with Dengue in Evangelismos it managed to push open the door (birth) and according to the song of Stellios, was cut down in 2019 (death at 90). The brag of the century came from Venizelos when he said Dengue would never touch him.
Good luck Patras, Good luck Thesally.
