The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Development and Regional Integration of International Meeting

With the continuous development of human society, international meetings have increasingly become an important form of interaction and contact between countries around the world, and occupy a more and more prominent position in the international community. However, with the COVID-19 epidemic, the international meetings industry is in trouble. This paper empirically studies the impact of COVID-19 on the international meetings industry worldwide through a report published by CIMERT. Among the five globe regions, COVID-19 was found to have the greatest impact in Asia, followed by Africa, with Europe, North America and Latin America being the least affected. It was also found that, based on attendance, medium-sized meetings were the most affected followed by large meetings. The small and super large meetings, however, were the least affected. Finally, beneficial suggestions are made on how the meetings industry should develop in the future.

The impact of MRI findings in the liver in the diagnosis of pediatric Wilson’s disease

Background /Aim: Wilson's Disease (WD) is one of the genetic diseases that can be successfully managed with early diagnosis and treatment. There is no single test used in its diagnosis; therefore, the diagnosis is made by laboratory and clinical findings, as well as genetic analysis results. This study aimed to describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings in the livers of pediatric patients with WD and evaluate the relationship between serum ceruloplasmin, 24-hour urinary copper values, and MRI findings. Methods: A total of 35 patients with WD younger than 18 years of age were included in this cohort study. Qualitative and quantitative parameters were evaluated in MRI. The qualitative parameters included parenchymal nodule, contour irregularity, honeycomb pattern, ascites, and increased periportal thickness. The quantitative parameters were splenomegaly and the ratio of the caudate lobe to the right lobe (CL/RL). All patients were classified according to the absence or presence of qualitative and quantitative parameters on MRI. The serum ceruloplasmin levels and 24-hour urinary copper values were evaluated according to the scoring system developed at the Eighth International Meeting on Wilson disease in Leipzig, in 2001. All qualitative and quantitative MRI findings were compared among patients with high and low serum ceruloplasmin levels and 24-hour urinary copper values. Results: Ascites and splenomegaly were the most common findings, seen in 17 (48.6%) and 19 (52.7%) patients, respectively. Twenty-eight (80%) patients had normal caudate-lobe to the right-lobe (CL/RL) ratio in MRI. The serum ceruloplasmin levels in patients with parenchymal nodules, irregular liver contours, ascites in the abdomen, increased periportal thickness and splenomegaly were significantly lower than those without these findings (P

History of Korea Ferroelectric Research

Research Center for Dielectric Study was supported by the Korean Research Foundation from the government. In 1991, Professor Jang, Min-Soo along with 22 other professors, received a research grant of 7 billion won for 10 years, which enabled the Korean Ferroelectric Research Society to be competitive globally. The 9th International Meeting on Ferroelectricity, which is held every four years, was held in Seoul in 1997. The first dielectric joint symposium organized by condensed-matter physics and materials science researchers was held in 2005. The Korean Dielectrics Society was established at Muju resort in 2017, with Professors Tae Won Noh and Jaichan Lee representing the condensed-matter physics and materials science communities, respectively. Currently, more than 300 members are actively participating in the Korean Dielectric Society. To celebrate the 100th anniversary of ferroelectricity, which was fist discovered in Rochelle salt by Joseph Valasek in 1921, we organized a special session in the 2020 Korean Physics Society Fall Meeting.

Accreditation of Simulation Fellowships and Training Programs: More Checkboxes or Elevating the Field?

As the field of healthcare simulation matures, formal accreditation for simulation fellowships and training programs has become increasingly available and touted as a solution to standardize the education of those specializing in healthcare simulation. Some simulation experts hold opposing views regarding the potential value of simulation fellowship program accreditation. We report on the proceedings of a spirited debate at the 20th International Meeting on Simulation in Healthcare in January 2020. Pro arguments view accreditation as the logical evolution of a maturing profession: improving training quality through standard setting, providing external validation for individual programs, and enhancing the program's return on investment. Con arguments view accreditation as an incompletely formulated construct; burdensome to the "financially strapped" fellowship director, misaligned with simulation fellows' needs and expectations, and confusing to administrators mistakenly equating accreditation with credentialing. In addition, opponents of accreditation postulate that incorporating curricular standards, practice guidelines, and strategies derived and implemented without rigor, supporting evidence and universal consensus is premature. This narrative review of our debate compares and contrasts contemporary perspectives on simulation fellowship program accreditation, concluding with formal recommendations for learners, administrators, sponsors, and accrediting bodies.

Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing of Antimicrobial Peptides Requires New and Standardized Testing Structures.

The need for optimized as well as standardized test systems of novel antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) was discussed by experts in the field at the International Meeting on Antimicrobial Peptides (IMAP) 2017 and the 2019 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Antimicrobial Peptides, and a survey related to this topic was circulated to participants to collate opinions. The survey included questions ranging from the relevance of susceptibility testing for understanding the mode of action of AMPs, to the importance of optimization and a degree of standardization of test methods and their clinical relevance. Based on the survey results, suggestions for future improvements in the research field are made.

5th International Meeting of Early-stage Researchers in Palaeontology

The International Meetings of Early-stage Researchers in Palaeontology (IMERP) are aimed at early-stage palaeontologists, from undergraduate students to recent post-doctoral researchers. Geologists, biologists or any scientist with research topics related to palaeontology, as well as palaeoartists, are also welcome.
 The IMERP has two main objectives:
 To provide a friendly environment for early-stage researchers to present their research through oral or poster presentations and follow each other’s progress.
 To share new methods and ideas useful in palaeontology, and develop the skills of the attendees with the help of leading experts, invited to give lectures about their fields.
 The IMERPs are usually held in villages or towns located in countryside areas of geological interest. This way the meeting can be held in a closer and more friendly environment, as well as help to the dissemination of the regional natural heritage among the local population. A field trip to this paleontological and geological heritage is offered to the meeting participants.
 After the 1st IMERP in 2016, the 2nd IMERP was held in Sigri (Lesbos, Greece) in 2017, the 3rd IMERP in Krasiejów (Opole, Poland) in 2018, and the 4th in Cuenca (Spain) in 2019
