Meeting reports

With the support of the Biochemical Society, I facilitated a cancer awareness and education symposium, trained health personnel on cancer screening, screened patients for cervical and prostate cancers and dispensed free prescribed drugs to patients. This was to mark the official launch of the Dove-Haven Foundation (DHF) and commemorate World Cancer Day 2021. ‘A World Without Cancer Threat’ took place at Isanlu, Kogi State, Nigeria from 1 to 6 February 2021.DHF is a non-profit organization whose programmes are designed to create awareness on early cancer screening, testing and prevention strategies and helping those already suffering from cancer. The organization has volunteers across Nigeria, and in the diaspora, and is situated in Kogi State, the only state sharing boundaries with 10 other states and thus well positioned for the engagement and impact of health intervention. Participants include government representatives such as the current Nigerian Minister of Health and former Minister of Health, as well as religious and community leaders, health professionals, oncologists, community health workers, nurses, members of the press/media, primary and tertiary healthcare staff members and students from secondary and tertiary education institutions.More than 400 people participated in the symposium, with speakers from the USA, the UK and Nigeria. Twenty-three health personnel were trained on cervical cancer screening. The community medical engagement was successful, based on the coverage, supplies, personnel, drug supply and the number of patients covered. We attended to more than 300 patients and screened over 150 people for cervical cancer and 35 people for prostate cancer. Sponsorship from the Biochemical Society was timely and useful in the production and purchase of education aid materials.Funding for this event was awarded in advance of the Biochemical Society’s decision to reserve financial support for face-to-face meetings until October 2021, regardless of international restrictions.Dynamic Cell IV was run jointly by the Biochemical Society and the British Society for Cell Biology (BSCB) in a virtual format, with emphasis on networking and social events. The meeting started with a keynote talk by Enrico Coen, with a presentation that explored the biophysics driving the emergence of plant organ shape from cell growth. This was followed by a student/postdoc session in which the quality of talks was very high, with plenty of questions and feedback from attendees. Throughout the conference we operated an anonymous question system allowing anyone in the audience to ask questions to the speaker and this worked really well to boost engagement and provide a surfeit of questions – the discussions carried on into post-session ‘meet the speaker’ talks in many cases.In the following 5 days, we heard many interesting talks by both senior and junior scientists working in the field of cell biology, with topics ranging from nematode neurons to cereal-killer fungi. We also presented one best talk prize and seven poster prizes and presented four medals from the two societies. In addition to the scientific sessions, we ran roundtable discussions spanning subjects such as grant writing, developing an independent career, communicating your science and improving the profile of minority groups in academia. We also ran a vibrant social programme each evening, with a (virtual) pub quiz, an online escape room and competitions using the drawing app Drawful2. It was great to ‘virtually’ see many attendees participating in the breakout rooms, roundtable discussions, and social events. We are planning to run this event again in 2024 or 2025.

Time-autonomy and time-controllability of discrete multidimensional behaviours

Predecessors and starting point of this article on multidimensional discrete time-autonomy (ta) and time-controllability (tc) were three papers from 2002 to 2004 by Sasane, Controneo, Thomas and Willems on the continuous case, a paper from 2011 by Napp, Rapisarda and Rocha on time-relevant two-dimensional (2D)-behaviours and a submitted paper by Bisiacco and Valcher on 2D-tc and dead-beat control. We also acknowledge interesting talks on this subject by Bisiacco and Valcher in Innsbruck. We develop a general framework for discrete multidimensional behaviours in which the discrete time variable in ℕ plays a special part among all independent variables. Following the models of our predecessors we define ta and tc of a behaviour by properties of its trajectories. The goal of this article is the characterisation of these properties by constructive algebraic conditions which is fully achieved for ta and for tc in dimension two and partially for tc in dimensions higher than two.

Conference Scene: Whistler Epigenetics and Genome Stability Meeting

The meeting was centered on the contribution of epigenetics to gene expression, DNA damage and repair, and the role of environmental factors. A few interesting talks on replication added some insightful information on the controversial issue of histone post-translational modifications as genuine epigenetic marks that are inherited through cell division.

Tinjauan Kritis Sosial: Terorisme di Indonesia

In the last few months, terrorism has become in interesting talks and debates. Unfortunately, terrorism study is minimum. Terrorism is an act or behavior that criticizes the existing civilization, especially west civilization. Terrorism topic could be studied from multidiscipline science, from social science, political, economical, and also religious. Terrorism study will be able to give contribution in solving terrorism problems accordingly. Terrorism problems involved complicated and wide dimension. In order to solve terrorism problems, it needs to be understood the way terrorism begins. Terrorism behavior is an act that must be its trigger. In order to solve terrorism overall, the trigger must be defined so the solution will be clear. Justice creates a world order, and is an important tool in reducing terrorist acts in addition to other efforts should also be made. This should be done immediately, because terrorism itself is due to many factors, and must also have interest in it.
