Preface The present volume constitutes the proceedings of the First workshop on Soliton Theory, Nonlinear Dynamics and Machine Learning held in Varna (Bulgaria) from 12 to 17 August 2023 which is organized by the Institute for Advanced Physical Studies (Bulgaria) and the Institute for Physical and Mathematical Studies of the Varna Free University (VFU).The purpose of the workshop was to bring together qualified scientists, young researchers and students with expertise and interests in mathematics and physics. In this way the workshop was intended to offer an opportunity to discuss recent developments and achievements, as well as future perspectives in these modern and fast developing areas and their interface.Contemporary science, mainly due to its complexity, uses more and more elaborate techniques and methods, thus achieving sometimes amazing results. The numerous conferences often involve large number of scientists which should be able to explain their results in rather short time. Hence, only a limited number of participants, who already have mastered the relevant field, are able to understand these results. A beginner in the field has practically no chances to understand which are the main ideas and techniques in it. Our aim with this workshop was to avoid these difficulties and to help a group of beginners do their start in science. In order to achieve practical results with our Workshop to have more young people as participants. Every speaker had 45 minutes for presentation and 15 minutes for questions and discussions. This is an ample time to explain in detail the main ideas in the talk so that even a beginner could understand it. In addition there was extra time during the coffee and lunch breaks for contacts among the people on site. Of course for the online participants this was more difficult, though they were given optimal chances to ask questions during and after the reports.It is our belief that in such atmosphere the beginners will have the best chance to understand a certain subject and get introduced to a given scientific field. During the Workshop we had 28 reports (see the list of reports and the list of participants). Some of the younger participants were also given the chance to report on their results and to gain experience for their future participation in conferences.The workshop greatly benefited from the dedicated involvement of the renowned experts in their fields of science Vladimir Gerdjikov (Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences), Peter Hristov (CERN), Radu Constantinescu (University of Craiova, Romania), Rossen Ivanov (Technological University Dublin, Ireland), Stoytcho Yazadjiev (St. Kliment Ohridski University of Sofia, Bulgaria) who were the scientific committee members.We would like to thank the President of VFU Dr. Krasimir Nedyalkov and the Rector of VFU Prof. Dr. Peter Hristov for the collaboration and continuous attention.The success of every conference is based on the activity and the competence of its participants. We are grateful to all participants for their efforts to produce high quality reports and for their activity in the discussions after every talk.The Workshop was held at the VFU campus, close to the Black Sea with the financial support of the Bulgarian National Science Fund contract BG-175467353-2023-02-0006 and Varna Free University.The Editors:R.

S8-4 Reaching beyond competitive sports. How International Sports Federation can use their main competitions to promote physical activity. A World Athletics pilot project

Abstract Purpose International Sports Federations (IF) are global governing bodies for each respective sport and their main duties are to organize international competitions, regulate and promote their sport. Despite their objective of promoting sports participation, their activity mostly focused on competitive/elite sports so far. International competitions not only represent the epitome of each sport but could also be used as an opportunity to improve the health of those living in the hosting city or the staff working for the local organising committee (LOC). The purpose of this pilot project was to measure the benefits of active commuting (AC) and leisure time physical activity (LTPA) of the staff involved in the World Athletics Championships Oregon22 during the two weeks of competition. Project description World Athletics partnered with StravaMetro□ to measure AC between official accommodation and competition venues, as well as the staff LTPA, during the Championships. Before the event, World Athletics staff was briefed on the project purposes and given information on AC options available in Eugene (pedestrian and cycling paths, bike rental). Staff members were encouraged to record their AC and LTPA through the Strava App. During the 2 weeks, a total of 18,656 walking/running trips (both AC and LTPA) were recorded in Eugene. This represents a 225.4% increase compared to the same period of the previous year. Furthermore, 2690 cycling commuting trips were recorded, representing a 143% increase. Conclusions This pilot project demonstrates that IF can efficiently use their main events to promote AC and LTPA to their staff and the workforce involved. Encouraging AC, improves the health of those active, reduces traffic related air pollution, road traffic, and transportation costs for the LOC. An upscaled approach adopted in the early phase of the event planning, involving spectators would amplify observed results and their health-related benefits. The post analysis by StravaMetro□ of the walking and cycling routes used by staff and spectators can also allow the host city to better define and create protected routes which represent a tangible legacy. These objectives require a strong collaboration between the IF, LOC, city government and the national institutions promoting AC and HEPA.

Proceedings of the joint 13th and 14th International Conferences on Polarized Neutrons for Condensed-Matter Investigations The international Conference on Polarized Neutrons for Condensed-Matter Investigations (PNCMI) started its long journey in Dubna, Russia in 1996 and has taken place biennially since then. The present volume of proceedings represents the 13th and 14th editions of this series. The 13th PNCMI was originally suggested by the International Advisory Committee (IAC) of PNCMI to be held in Maryland, USA in 2020, and was postponed due to the fast-spreading COVID-19 pandemic. The IAC later suggested, due to the still evolving pandemic, to replace PNCMI 2020 with a virtual PNCMI in 2021 and an in-person PNCMI in 2022.The 13th PNCMI, organized by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), was held online from July 27-30, 2021. One of the main objectives was to keep up the frequency of PNCMI conferences for the community, staying up to date on emerging topics using polarized neutrons and on related instrumentation development. 110 participants from 40 institutions and 15 countries crossing Europe, Asia, Australia, and North America attended the virtual conference. The conference was limited to invited speaker and poster sessions since it was run two- and one-half hours daily to accommodate different time zones for the international attendees.The 14th PNCMI was held in-person from July 25-29, 2022 in Annapolis, Maryland, USA and jointly organized by the University of Maryland and NIST. The number of conference participants was affected by international travel restrictions due to the pandemic. The conference attendees included 62 participants from 30 institutions and 10 countries crossing Europe, Asia, and North America. The scientific program featured a Keynote lunch presentation, titled “Polarization can be good”, given by Dr. Charles Majkrzak (NCNR), invited, and contributed oral talks, and poster presentations.The PNCMI conference covers the latest condensed-matter investigations using polarized neutrons and state-of-the-art methodologies and techniques of polarized-neutron production and utilization for novel instrumentation and experiments. The 13th and 14th editions covered the following traditional topics: multiferroics and chirality, strongly correlated electron systems, frustrated and disordered systems, magnetic nanomaterials, thin films and multilayers, imaging, polarized neutron instrumentation and polarized neutron techniques and methods. Quantum materials as an emerging topic was included in the 13th PNCMI as well. A new session, -- polarized quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) driven by recently growing interest and benefitting from modernized polarized neutron spectroscopies, was also included for the first time in the 14th PNCMI.A two-day Polarized Neutron School, for 12 graduate students and young postdoctoral researchers familiar with scattering techniques, was held at the NIST Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) preceding the 2022 in-person conference.We would like to take this opportunity again to thank all participants for their attendance, and the International Advisory Committee for guidance in developing an excellent scientific program. We’d like to extend a special thank you to the University of Maryland and the NIST conference services for all their hard work and planning to help organize and ensure it ran smoothly. The 14th PNCMI was made possible with the generous support of Cryogenic Limited, HTS-110, Mirrotron, ORNL, and SwissNeutronics.List of International Advisory Committee, Local Organizing Committee are available in this Pdf.

International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics TIPP 2021TIPP 2020 was originally planned as a traditional in-person conference at the ski resort of Whistler, British Columbia, near Vancouver. After the Coronavirus epidemic forced the eleventh-hour postponement of the conference in 2020, IUPAP C11 encouraged us to resurrect the Vancouver TIPP as a virtual event a year later, in May 2021. While we still hope someday to welcome the community to our beautiful mountains, the virtual event was a much-needed opportunity to share and discuss updates in the field of detector technology. Many of the results presented at the conference are detailed here, and we trust that these papers will be a useful resource for the detector community.Fabrice Retiere, LOC co-chairIsabel Trigger, LOC co-chairList of International Organizing Committee, Local Organizing Committee are available in this Pdf.

The cost of living crisis: how can we tackle fuel poverty and food insecurity in practice?

<h3>Background</h3> Analysis of injury and illness prevalence in elite sport provides the basis for the development of prevention programmes. <h3>Objectives</h3> To analyse the frequency and characteristics of injuries and illnesses occurring during the 13th Federation Internationale de Natation (FINA) World Championships 2009. <h3>Design</h3> Prospective recording of newly incurred injuries and illnesses. <h3>Methods</h3> The 13th FINA World Championships hosted 2592 athletes from 172 countries in the disciplines of swimming, diving, synchronised swimming water polo and open water swimming. All team physicians or physiotherapists were asked to complete daily a standardised reporting form for all newly incurred injuries and illnesses for their teams. To cover teams without medical staff, the physicians of the Local Organizing Committee also submitted daily report forms. <h3>Results</h3> 171 injuries were reported resulting in an incidence of 66.0 per 1000 registered athletes. The most affected body parts were the shoulder (n=25; 14.6%), and head (n=21; 12.3%). Half of the injuries occurred during training. The most common cause of injury was overuse (n=61; 37.5%). 184 illnesses were reported resulting in an incidence of 71.0 per 1000 registered athletes. The respiratory tract was most commonly affected (n=91; 50.3%) and the most frequently classified cause was infection (n=81; 49.2%). The incidence of injuries and illnesses varied substantially among the five disciplines, with the highest incidence of injury in diving and the lowest in swimming. <h3>Conclusions</h3> As the risk of injury varied with the discipline, preventive measures should be discipline specific and focused on minimising the potential for overuse. As most of the illnesses were caused by infection of the respiratory and gastrointestinal tract, preventive interventions should focus on eliminating common modes of transmission.

The theme of this edition is “Inclusive and Innovative Solutions for Sustainable Development” and the sub-themes included: Environment and Climate Change, Energy/Energy Management, Built Environment and Biotechnology.ICESE 2021, like the two previous editions, continued to build on the foundation of collaboration by research clusters in Covenant University. The clusters are: Energy and Environment Research Cluster, the Centre for Economic Policy and Development Research (CEPDeR), Renewable Energy Research Cluster (RERC), Built Environment Research Cluster (BERC), and most recently, the Biotechnology Research Cluster.The world energy and environment outlook has continued to elicit interest among researchers and policy makers. Given the multi-dimensional nature of the energy and environment challenge, an all-inclusive approach is deemed necessary. Hence, ICESE 2021 put together inclusive and innovative ideas towards addressing the numerous challenges associated with our environment. The keynote speakers were carefully selected to address some specific aspects of the energy and environment challenge.In this respect, the oil and gas industry and the energy sector in Nigeria come into sharp focus. Two keynote papers were presented during the plenary session. The first keynote address focused on the environmental challenges posed by the oil and gas sector from the regulatory perspective. The keynote speaker was Mr. Idris O. Musa, the Director General of the National Oil Spill Detection and Response Agency (NOSDRA), which is under the Federal Ministry of Environment, Nigeria. The keynote address was titled: Environmental Pollution – Impacts of Vandalism, Oil Theft and Artisanal Refining.Also, given the prevailing energy situation in Nigeria and the world over, new thinking in the area of utilizing fossil fuels such as coal becomes apposite. Hence, the second keynote Dr. Samson O. Bada of the University of Witwatersrand, South Africa, addressed the evolving role of coal even in the light of advancement of renewable energy technologies. The keynote paper was titled: Clean Coal Technologies and the role of Fossil Fuels in Renewable Technologies.Thereafter, Sixty-Five papers were presented in eight technical sessions. The built environment aspect of ICESE has remained very pivotal and over half of the papers came from the cluster. In all, the keynote papers and presentations at the ICESE 2021 were relevant to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations. Given the restricted travels as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was planned and executed as a hybrid conference incorporating in-person and virtual components. After careful review of the papers presented at the conference, the selected papers in this proceedings were found to meet the requirements of the publishing organization – IOP PublishingList of Acknowledgements, Funding Support, Conference Technical/Scientific Committee, Local Organising Committee are available in this pdf.
