Section Meetings

The Washington, D.C., Sec-tion’s April meeting took place virtually with an in-depth tour of the new NBC News bureau facility at 400 North Capital Street, just a short distance from Capitol Hill. The Zoom gathering began with Section Chair Maciej Ochman calling the meeting to order and conducting a short business meeting before introducing a panel consisting of three NBC employees, Stacy Brady, Jay Hurt, and Marc Greenstein, who provided information about the new bureau and served as tour guides. Bruce Milton, a member of the studio team at the Department of Homeland Security’s Transportation Security Administration, served as moderator during the virtual activity.

277 Survey of Feedlot Nutritionists Provides Insight on How Industry Professionals Gather Practical Information

Abstract A survey of feedlot nutritionists was conducted regarding how industry professionals use published resources. Surveys were included in the spring 2020 mailing to 550 potential attendees of the Plains Nutrition Council meeting. Sixty-two responses were returned via postal service or an online survey platform (Qualtrics). Participants were asked to rank the importance of types of resources, peer-reviewed journals and learning platforms, and demographic questions. A scale of 1 to 5 was used, with 1 being not important and 5 being most important. Data were analyzed using PROC FREQ in SAS 9.4. An overwhelming majority of participants, 90%, reported serving the Plains and Midwest regions, with service split evenly between the regions. Seventy-nine percent of participants reported having a Ph.D. or other professional degree. Interestingly, 43% of participants reported having less than 16 years of professional nutritional consulting experience, and 39% reported having greater than 26 years of experience with the balance reporting in between. Of the resources offered, 87% of participants ranked peer reviewed journals as a 4 or 5, indicating they are one of the most important resources. Eighty percent of respondents found open access publications important (4 or 5), while only 49% said the same for articles accessed via membership/subscription. For Journal of Animal Science, 84% indicated an importance of 4 or 5. Not surprisingly, 75% responded as being a member of ASAS but only 34% responded as attending national or sectional ASAS meetings. This suggests a large population uses memberships for journals and other resources, but not for meetings. Participants were able to write in additional resources they find valuable, and 9 of 14 participants who listed additional resources responded with some form of in-house or commercial research. Through these data, feedlot nutrition researchers can better understand how to reach intended audiences in future publications.

Bringing the Welcome Home: One Section’s Efforts at Incorporating AAPT’s Diversity and Inclusion Practices

While AAPT and many other physics organizations have been introducing a series of effective practices around diversity and inclusion at the national level in recent years, it was wondered if these were being adopted at the local level. It is hoped that section members and section representatives will decide to further expand the actions of national leadership to make their own section meetings more inclusive. In order to assess if this was in fact the case, a survey on diversity practices that have been used at the national level and can be implemented at the section level was sent to AAPT’s section reps’ mailing list in the spring of 2018, with a follow-up survey in winter 2020. Feedback in both cycles suggested that a guide for section leadership would be useful. The Northern California/Nevada Section has made progress in implementing some of the effective practices from the national meetings into our local section meetings, and we share these efforts in the hope that they assist our fellow sections.

Новые субъекты и технологии государственной политики: актуальная практика и перспективы

November 20, 2020, at the Lomonosov Moscow State University the all-Russian scientific conference with international participation «State policy in the context of global challenges of modernity» was held, timed to the 10th anniversary of the Department of State Policy, Faculty of Political Science, Moscow University. Within the framework of the conference, which was attended by scientists and specialists from Russia, the USA, Bulgaria and Kazakhstan, a plenary session and several section meetings devoted to the problems of modern public policy were held. This review paper presents the key materials presented in the reports and determined the course and content of the scientific and expert discussion within the section «New subjects and technologies of state policy: current practice and prospects», in which scientists, specialists and experts from the Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow State Regional University, Russian State University for the Humanities, National Research Tomsk University, L.N. Gumilyov Eurasian National University (Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan), as well as University of Plovdiv Paisii Hilendarski (Plovdiv, Bulgaria). The principles of comparative studies, Case Study, content analysis, Big Data were used as methodological opticians. Within the framework of the «Incommunicado» case, the limits of the spread of this new type of communications are outlined. The conclusions emphasize that digitalization and technological transformations of the main spheres of functioning of the modern state and society are accompanied by the emergence of fundamentally new political actors claiming power resources. These processes form nonlinear effects that affect the content, functionality and structure of the activities of modern states, as well as the parameters of the functioning of national political regimes.

Preface

The 9th International Conference on Materials Science (ICMS2020) was held at the National University of Mongolia from September 10 to 13, 2020 in Ulaanbaatar. Unfortunately, the global pandemic had a bad effect on the event. Therefore, some of the participants could not attend the conference in person. A significant part of the participants (more than 50 people) were accommodated in the hall and more than 25 people participated in absentia. Since at this time it is difficult to predict the end of the pandemic, and the termination of the exchange and discussion of scientific results may negatively affect the research of many scientific groups, it was decided to hold this traditional conference using video presentations. Participants from Russia presented their reports and presentations in electronic form (video reports and posters) and were demonstrated at section meetings. In total - about 80 participants.Organisers were some known scientific organizations:National University of Mongolia, Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, National University of Mongolia, Mongolia, Inner Mongolian Normal University, China, Institute of Physical Materials Science, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia, Mongolian Academy of Sciences, Mongolia, German-Mongolian Institute for Resources and Technology and Erdenet Mining Corporation SOE, Mongolia.Scientific committee was consisted of famous scientists:Prof. J.Davaasambuu (National University of Mongolia)Prof. U.Pietsch (University of Siegen, Germany)Prof. G.Eckold (University of Goettingen, Germany)Prof. O.Tegus (Inner Mongolian Normal University, China)Dr. A.Nomoev (IPMS SB RUS, Russia)Prof. S.Gorfman (Tel Aviv University, Israel)Prof. S.Bardakhanov (Buryat State University, Russia)Prof. P.Daniel (Le-Mans University, France)Prof. B.Battsengel (GMIT, Mongolia)Dr. B.B.Damdinov (SFU, Krasnoyarsk, Russia)Acad.

No Mo’ FOMO: Using Social Media to Avoid Missing that Conference after All

FOMO. I learned this one from my kids. It stands for “fear of missing out.” As a scholarly publishing professional, I do love me a good acronym. This one is particularly apt when it comes to describing that nagging feeling that plagues all of us. We all have our favorite conferences and meetings: CSE’s Annual Meeting, the Society for Scholarly Publishing’s Annual Meeting, the annual and section meetings of our own societies, regional industry happy hours, vendor-sponsored user groups, and the list goes on. In a non-COVID year, it is impossible to attend every meeting I want to go to. There are travel budgets, my job duties, my family, and other responsibilities to consider. I’m forced to evaluate very carefully which meetings I will attend and why. Now, since March of 2020, we all have the opposite problem. Suddenly working from home 100% of the time. Because travel is out of the question, I am faced with a different dilemma. Budget is no longer as much of an issue—many conferences are free or greatly reduced in price. The most knowledgeable and renowned scholarly publishing speakers are suddenly tantalizingly within my reach. In theory, I could attend exponentially more conferences than I ever have before. But… I just don’t. Like all of you, I work really hard all day and spend a lot of time on GoToMeetings, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, you name it. The rest of the time I am staring at my screen and trying to make deadlines. […]

Vilnius Section of the Polish Otorinolaryngological Society in 1924-1939

The medical society associating doctors dealing with diseases of the ear, nose, larynx and pharynx in the territory of the Republic of Poland was registered in 1921 as the Polish Otorinolaryngological Society. The Society's Vilnius Section was established in 1924. We know the most about the Vilnius Section of the Polish Otorinolaryngological Society because the protocols of the section meetings have been preserved. According to the protocols, 58 sessions were held during the 16 years of the Vilnius Section's existence. During the entire period of the Section's activity, over 250 different clinical cases were demonstrated, over 30 papers, inventions, new therapeutic and surgical methods were discussed and presented. Colleagues shared their experience gained abroad, internships held in centers abroad, participation in congresses in Poland and abroad were discussed. The Vilnius Section, as part of the 13th Congress of Polish Doctors and Naturalists in Vilnius, on September 26-29, 1929, organized the VIII National Congress of the Society and a Section meeting.

The Toronto Section meeting, held on 9 June, was the second attempt by the Section to provide a virtual meeting environment due to the new social distancing mandates. Everytime we take on this new initiative, it becomes a little easier to execute. The platform does take on some new challenges, which indeed require a few dry runs.

Gender Representation at Conferences, Executive Boards, and Program Committees in Otolaryngology.

Women represent approximately 28.0% of academic otolaryngologists. Previous studies have shown that women in academic medicine, including surgical subspecialties, have disparate career advancement opportunities and grant funding compared to male counterparts. Representation at major academic meetings is an important career advancement opportunity. In this study, we assess the representation of women at otolaryngology conferences. Cross-sectional analysis of otolaryngology conference programs. All publicly available scientific programs from The American Academy of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery Foundation Annual Meeting (AAO-HNSF), the Triological Society Annual Combined Sections Meeting (TS), and the Triological Society Annual Meeting at Combined Otolaryngology Spring Meetings (TS-COSM) were obtained and analyzed. Name and gender were collected, along with the type of role: speaker, panelist, oral session moderator, and other leadership positions. Yearly trends were analyzed and compared between the conferences and in aggregate. AAO-HNSF had available scientific programs from 2012-2017, while TS and TS-COSM had programs available from 2003-2018. Across all conferences and years, 16.9% of recorded opportunities were occupied by women, with an upward trend from 2005 to 2018. Program committees had the highest proportion of women (21.4%) and presidential citation and guest of honor recipients had the lowest (9.1%). Of all panels, 87.5% did not have any women panelists in 2003, but by 2018 only 24.0% panels were male-only. There was marked repetition among women occupying roles, with only 423 unique women occupying a total of 1,733 filled spots. Measured representation of women in academic otolaryngology conferences has improved from 2003-2018. Despite this improvement, gender disparity still exists. 5 Laryngoscope, 131:E373-E379, 2021.

Increasing the clinical utility of exercise training as a modality in the oncology setting—What we learned in 2019

For the past several years’ oncology focused programing presented at the Combined Sections Meeting (CSM) of the American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) has included a session entitled “Oncology Research Update: A Year in Review”. Speakers for this peer reviewed educational session select clinical studies and literature reviews published in the preceding year which, in their opinions, were particularly clinically relevant. For the 2020 CSM the speakers selected several publications which greatly enhanced the clinical utility of exercise training as a therapeutic modality for cancer survivors. The purpose of this review is to present the salient points and clinical importance of these selected publications in an effort to improve the level of care physical therapists and physical therapist assistants can offer cancer survivors.
