Scientific Meetings

For very many years, in St. Petersburg, Petrograd, then Leningrad, there functioned a scientific society of obstetricians and gynecologists, uniting in its ranks the most active specialists. The main activities of the society were regular scientific meetings with presentations on topical issues of obstetrics and gynecology. By the end of 80-s and the beginning of 90-s, i.e. in the period of serious social and economic problems, connected with changes of socio-political system in the country and disintegration of the USSR, the interest of doctors in the work of the Society decreased considerably and in 1991-1992 it had actually stopped its work.

Subject Challenges for Oman's next sultan. Significance After more than seven months in Germany undergoing medical treatment, Sultan Qaboos Bu Sa'id finally returned to Oman on March 23. Qaboos has ruled the country for 45 years and enjoys enormous personal loyalty among Omanis. However, his successor is likely to face a much rockier time in power -- he will lack Qaboos's legitimacy, but will also need to face up to Oman's worsening economic situation, which will present serious challenges even to a capable new sultan. Impacts Social protests are likely to become more frequent under Qaboos's successor if he fails to tackle economic problems. Despite his weaker position, the next sultan will remain the most powerful actor in the Omani political system. Oman will maintain its distinctive regional policy, maintaining close ties with both Iran and Arab Gulf states.

Colonization, as a means of reforming Ireland, had been advocated by certain Anglo-Irish politicians and English administrators since the early sixteenth century. This policy had been activated in 1548. Sir Thomas Smith (1513–77), a leading political and intellectual figure, contributed to the policy's development in the early 1570s with his colonial venture in eastern Ulster. Under Elizabeth, he served as ambassador to France on two occasions and held the principal secretaryship between 1572 and 1576. Smith is regarded as an important English humanist. His main works, A discourse of the commonweal of this realm of England (1549) and De republica Anglorum (1565) analyse respectively the economic problems and the legal and political system of the period.

Scientific Meetings

Immediately after its establishment, the Australian Society for Microbiology began to thrive. The founders of the ASM had been correct in their assessment of the need for the Society. By the second decade of its existence, membership numbers had swelled to over 1200. The services it provided for members had also diversified as the Society consolidated and became a strong voice of microbiology in Australia. Not only did the number of members grow, but the Scientific Meetings became more frequent and attracted international speakers, the committees on which the ASM was asked to be represented became more numerous, and the activities in which the Society was involved continued to grow. The needs of members also began to change. It soon became clear that the structure of the ASM needed be addressed so that the Society could adapt to the changing roles it was being called upon to play.

Abstract Introduction Participating in scientific meetings offers value to physician trainees and faculty. In 2012, the U.S. Government (including the Department of Defense) instituted restrictions on conference travel, requiring central approval to attend. Hence, our objective was to determine the academic impact of research presented at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Armed Forces District Meeting and the effect of this federally mandated policy change on attendance and the quality and quantity of research. Materials and Methods Attendance logs and meeting programs were reviewed for the 3 years immediately before and after institution of travel regulations. A PubMed search of each abstract was performed to determine if it resulted in publication and the mean duration in months from presentation to publication was calculated and compared between oral and poster presentations. The top journals accepting manuscripts were noted along with the corresponding impact factor. Results The overall meeting publication rate was 22%. Oral presentations were significantly more likely than posters to achieve publication (P < 0.001). Following implementation of travel regulations, mean faculty attendance declined from 130 per year to 105 (P < 0.05). Declines in resident attendance and publication rates were not statistically significant. The top journals publishing investigations included Obstetrics and Gynecology (n = 15), Military Medicine (n = 12), and Fertility and Sterility and Gynecologic Oncology (tied, both n = 11). Conclusion Approximately one in five presentations at the ACOG Armed Forces District Meeting are published, many in high impact journals within the specialty. Implementation of stricter travel regulations adversely impacted faculty physician attendance, but not trainee participation or the publication rate.

Scientific Meetings

This chapter will help you effectively communicate your meeting’s news to the media. To successfully manage media relations at a scientific meeting, a researcher should first visit press rooms at major scientific society meetings to see how they are run. Some steps to running a newsroom include identifying newsworthy papers and suggesting that scientists contact their public information officers to do news releases, as well as notifying the media of the meeting. The role of a conference press officer also includes organizing the newsroom to include all the facilities journalists will need, setting embargoes on presentations, and planning and conducting news conferences. Arranging interviews and making experts available for background discussion are also important steps.

The transformation of the political system in Poland brought, apart from obvious profits, a number of negative consequences. One of the crucial socio-economic problems is unemployment, which also affects the graduates of higher education. One of the most important reasons for this unfavourable situation is traditional concept of academic education, not always correlating with the needs of employers. Previous curricula  strategies resulted in some majors being perceived as a pass to low paid occupations or unemployment. According to many scholars, thinking about academic education mainly as the step for being employed after graduation is oversimplifying the role of higher education. This outlook does not take into consideration very dynamic changes in services (also educational services on an academic level) in socio-economic development and the fact that one of the  principal purposes of modern higher education is to produce graduates who are able to succeed in the workplace and who can make worthwhile contributions to organisations where they are employed. Such aspirations are common for candidates for students who estimate the probability of finding a good job after graduation. The experiences of the West European countries in this area show that in few years it will be very important to design such curricula which provide education as close to employers’ expectations of the graduates as possible. The paper presents the results of the literature studies concerning modern concepts of higher education in reference to the needs of the labour market.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the main problems of functioning the information-analytical centers (IAC) of Ukraine on the modern stage. The methodology of the research is based, firstly, on multifactorial analysis which is directed on the complex studying of internal and external factors of IAC work with the purpose of revealing its key problems, and, secondly, on methods of generalization and typology, thanks to  which is possible to form and separate closely connected blocks of problems. The scientific novelty of the work is in separation the key blocks of problems of IAC functioning in Ukraine nowadays: 1) financial (absence of stable financing from the state, lack of institutional grants, problems of legislative regulation of diversification of sources of income, etc.); 2) communicative (absence of the proper level of communication between IAC, power institutions, and business, between different subjects of analytical activity); 3) institutional-regulatory (“hybrid” and situational type of activity of major agents of the information-analytical market, absence of Ukrainian IAC association, etc.); 4) educational-scientific (“staff shortage” which is closely connected with the absence of educational centers of analysts’ advanced training); 5) reputational (low level of Ukrainian IAC integration into the global analytical community, non-system work in raising the level of Ukrainian society trust to IAC, weak presence on the regional level, non-effective media activity, etc.). Conclusions. It is affirmed that the IAC NET of Ukraine as the basis for the effective intelligent platform for the management decisionmaking process which, is still on the stage of evolution and formation, nonetheless, its activity is not only possible but also is effective, even note the closed nature of the political system and the risk of increasing social tensions, given the unresolved nature of many socio-economic problems in Ukraine nowadays. Key words: Ukraine; information-analytical centers (IAC); subjects of analytical activity; informationanalytical market; analysts’ advanced training, media sphere.

Research Analysis

The suspension of economic relations as a result of the global pandemic has severely affected the country’s peripheries. Unequal development of territorial units and overcoming socio-economic problems is the biggest challenge of any country. To address these challenges, the country needs to mobilize large amounts of finance and make optimal allocations. Intergovernmental relations play an important role in the effective implementation of the transformation of the country’s economic and political system. The aim of the paper is to study the characteristics of revenue mobilization and distribution between the levels of the fiscal system. There are developed some recommendations for improving inter-budgetary relations based on the experience of different countries. The recommendations proposed as a result of the research analysis can be used for both theoretical (for lecture) and practical (for legislative) purposes.

Alternative Solutions

Scientists across the globe recognize the importance of reducing carbon emissions to combat climate change.  At the same time, we have increased our carbon footprint through air travel to the growing number of scientific society “mega-meetings” that host thousands of attendees.  Although alternative solutions have been proposed to reduce the environmental impact of annual conferences, these have yet to be evaluated against the business-as-usual scenario.  Here, we use 9 years of annual meeting attendance data from the Ecological Society of America and the Association of American Geographers to assess the efficacy of two additional solutions: 1) alternate large national meetings that require significant air travel with smaller regional meetings that do not; and 2) incorporate geography into the meeting location selection process.  The carbon footprint of annual mega-meetings ranged 3-fold, from 1196-4062 metric tons of CO2.  Results indicate that an alternating schedule of national and regional meetings can reduce conference-related CO2 emissions up to 73%, while improved spatial planning may result in further reductions.  We discuss the benefits and tradeoffs of proposals to green scientific meetings, with a view to spark further debate on how to increase the sustainability of scientific conferences.
