The Charity Commission for England and Wales published an updated list of the questions to be included in the 2018 Annual Return for registered charities. The trustees of charities excepted from registration with the Commission – which include a considerable number of church congregations – are not required to submit an annual return; but an increasing number find that they must do so because when an excepted charity's annual income exceeds £100,000 it loses its excepted status. The previously expressed intention to require every charity trustee to provide an e-mail address has been abandoned; instead, the Commission intends to ask all trustees either to supply an e-mail address or to confirm that they do not have one – which looks very like a welcome climbdown. The Commission's on-line Annual Return Service opened for submissions on 20 August.

In this paper author presents an overview of the procedure of electronic registration of the companies' formation in the Serbian law. This procedure was made possible for the first time in 2017 for the purpose of electronic registration of entrepreneurs, and shortly afterward the establishment of a single-member and multi-member limited liability company. The procedure is performed entirely electronically. It is possible to submit electronically the registration application for founding a company, as well as to electronically sign the application using a qualified electronic signature. The possibility of composing and submitting electronic or digitized documents and their electronic signing is also envisaged. Finally, electronic registration ends with the delivery of the registrar's decision in the electronic form to the registered e-mail address. The introduction of the electronic registration procedure, and then its wider and more efficient application, represents one of the important goals in further improvement in the efficiency of the procedure of establishing a company in Serbia. This procedure came to the fore during the Covid-19 pandemic, and the experiences from that period may be important in the further improvement of this procedure.

This guide describes the policies of MLA divisions and discussion groups—their purpose and function, their structure and formation, and their governance. It also describes MLA policies regarding allied and affiliate organizations. All correspondence concerning these policies should be sent to the MLA convention office. The e-mail address for the convention office is [email protected]. The MLA divisions encompass the primary scholarly and professional concerns of the association, with each division representing a major area of membership interest. The divisions are not autonomous organizations but are an integral part of the MLA; they have no corporate identity beyond that afforded by the MLA, and they may not use the name of the association for any project or program unless specifically authorized to do so by the MLA Executive Council.

The Information SuperHighway, Email, The Internet, FTP, BBS, Modems, : all buzz words which are becoming more and more routine in our daily life. Confusing terminology? Hopefully it won't be in a few minutes, all you need is to have a handle on a few basic concepts and terms and you will be on-line with the rest of the "telecommunication experts". These terms all refer to some type or aspect of tools associated with a range of computer-based communication software and hardware. They are in fact far less complex than the instruments we use on a day to day basis as microscopist's and microanalyst's. The key is for each of us to know what each is and how to make use of the wealth of information which they can make available to us for the asking. Basically all of these items relate to mechanisms and protocols by which we as scientists can easily exchange information rapidly and efficiently to colleagues in the office down the hall, or half-way around the world using computers and various communications media. The purpose of this tutorial/paper is to outline and demonstrate the basic ideas of some of the major information systems available to all of us today. For the sake of simplicity we will break this presentation down into two distinct (but as we shall see later connected) areas: telecommunications over conventional phone lines, and telecommunications by computer networks. Live tutorial/demonstrations of both procedures will be presented in the Computer Workshop/Software Exchange during the course of the meeting.

O avanço das tecnologias nas tarefas cotidianas tem exigido da sociedade uma série de habilidades para lidar, principalmente, com ferramentas digitais. Dentre elas, talvez a mais significativa, por ser transversal a inúmeras outras ações, seja a leitura on-line. Não por acaso, pesquisadores nacionais e internacionais têm se debruçado sobre a temática inerente ao ambiente virtual, propósito, também, desta pesquisa, que objetivou identificar as principais dificuldades relacionadas à leitura hipertextual encontradas por um grupo de alunos de um curso a distância. Por meio de uma abordagem qualitativa, aplicou-se um questionário estruturado, composto por cincoperguntas e enviado por e-mail a trinta alunos, abordando questões referentes a leituras realizadas no computador, em se tratando do contexto hipertextual. O curso em estudo, Gestão Pública Municipal (GPM) é destinado, em especial, a profissionais que exercem atividades em órgãos públicos, atraindo um número significativo de servidores que precisam inserir-se no mundo digital. O mapeamento das impressões leitoras apresentadas pelos colaboradores permitiu identificar que, apesar de não sesentirem tão confortáveis no processo de leitura virtual, reconhecem a importância de superar os desafios impostos pelo hipertexto digital.

BACKGROUND Background: Online forward triage tools (OFTT) or symptom checkers are being widely used during this COVID-19 pandemic. The effects and utility of such tools however, have not been widely assessed. OBJECTIVE Objective: To assess the effects (quantitatively) and the utility (qualitatively) of a COVID-19 OFTT in a pandemic context, exploring patient perspectives as well as eliciting recommendations for tool improvement. METHODS Methods: We employed a mixed-method sequential explanatory study design. Quantitative data of all users of the OFTT between March 2nd, 2020 and May 12th, 2020 were collected. A follow-up survey of people who consented to participation was conducted. Secondly, qualitative data was collected through key informant interviews (n=19) to explain the quantitative findings, as well as explore tool utility, user experience and elicit recommendations. RESULTS Results: An estimate of the effects, (quantitatively) and the utility (qualitatively) of a COVID-19 OFTT in a pandemic context, and recommendations for tool improvement. In the study period, 6,272 users consulted our OFTT; 560 participants consented to a follow-up survey and provided a valid e-mail address. 176 (31.4%) participants returned a complete follow-up questionnaire. 85.2% followed the recommendations given. 41.5% reported that their fear was allayed after using tool and 41.1% would have contacted the GP or visited a hospital had the tool not existed. Qualitatively, seven overarching themes emerged namely i) accessibility of tool, ii) user-friendliness of tool, iii) utility of tool as an information source, iv) utility of tool in allaying fear and anxiety, v) utility of tool in decision making (test or not to test), vi) utility of tool in reducing the potential for onward transmissions (preventing cross infection) and vii) utility of tool in reducing health system burden. CONCLUSIONS Conclusion: Our findings demonstrated that a COVID-19 OFTT does not only reduce the health system burden, but can also serve as an information source, reduce anxiety and fear, reduce cross infections and facilitate decision making (to test or not to test). Further studies are needed to assess the transferability of these COVID-19 OFTT findings to other contexts as the second wave sweeps across Europe.

We consider the important generalisation of Ramsey numbers, namely on-line Ramsey numbers. It is easiest to understand them by considering a game between two players, a Builder and Painter, on an infinite set of vertices. In each round, the Builder joins two non-adjacent vertices with an edge, and the Painter colors the edge red or blue. An on-line Ramsey number r˜(G,H) is the minimum number of rounds it takes the Builder to force the Painter to create a red copy of graph G or a blue copy of graph H, assuming that both the Builder and Painter play perfectly. The Painter’s goal is to resist to do so for as long as possible. In this paper, we consider the case where G is a path P4 and H is a path P10 or P11.
