<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Following the first initiatives taken by the International Programme Committee of the XXIII<sup>rd</sup> ISPRS Congress in Prague (Czech Republic) in 2016, modifications of the reviewing process of ISPRS events were further considered during the years 2017 and 2018. This evolution first targets to better fit such a process to the currents requirements and expectations of the ISPRS community. Secondly, it aims to provide unified guidelines for the different steps of the process. Under the aegis of the 2020 Congress Director and ISAC (International Science Advisory Committee) chair, several discussions were held in-between September 2017 and June 2018 with ISAC members, Technical Commission Presidents (TCP), council members, 2016 and 2020 Congress Programme Chairs. This document serves as a unique transparent basis that applies for all kinds of ISPRS events (from Congress and Geospatial Week to smaller workshops), and all categories of people that are bound to be involved in the evaluation process of scientific contributions (authors, reviewers, TCPs, &amp;hellip; ). It also specifies the evaluation criteria for the works submitted to ISPRS events, both for full papers and abstracts. Subsequently, it helps authors to improve the content and shape of their contributions. Eventually, this paper is targeted to help new chairs to smoothly prepare their future event. The following guidelines were first adopted for the 2018 Technical Commission Symposia.</p>

The aim of this study was to determine the availability of antidotes to poisons in Wales and the South West of England. A stocklist of antidotes that are available to accident and emergency departments was requested and was compared with recommendations from the International Programme on Chemical Safety (IPCS). Chief pharmacists were invited to complete a short questionnaire regarding knowledge of existing guidelines. Thirty-four of 43 centres replied (response rate 77%). No department held all 36 antidotes (mean 13, range 7-33). All departments held antidotes that were frequently used. Ninety-one percent of departments held one cyanide antidote. Eighty-eight percent held one heavy metal chelating agent. The remaining antidotes were variably stocked. New agents such as 4-methylpyrazole, hydroxocobalamin and the heavy metal chelating agents DMSA and DMPS were infrequently held. Twenty of 34 chief pharmacists were unfamiliar with existing UK guidelines. A trend exists whereby larger departments stocked more antidotes. Some antidotes to poisons are not available in a timely fashion in Wales and the South West of England. There is a lack of awareness of existing guidelines. New recommendations relevant to clinical need and local practice should ideally be developed.

The results of the intensive observations of the Pleiades flare stars for more than 20 years (≈ 3000 h effective observational time) were compiled and published by G.Haro and collaborators in a catalogue (Haro et al.,1982) including the flare stars discovered in the Pleiades region up to 1981. The catalogue contains the data far 519 flare stars.In the frame of the international programme for the study of flare stars in stellar aggregates the Department of Astronomy and the National Astronomical Observatory have carried out patrol observations in the Pleiades since 1979. Parallel to the observations, work on the creation of machine-readable versions of the published flare stars catalogues has begun. As a firatstep, a machine—readable version of the Tonantzintla catalogue (TC of the Pleiades flare stars has been prepared (Tsvetkov et al., 1987).
