9 International Conference «Actual Trends in Radiophysics» in 2021 was held in Tomsk, Russia from 20th to 22th october 2021. International Conference became worthwhile platform for researchers to present their finding in the areas «Physics of radio waves: radiation, reception and use», «radio electronics and electrodynamics of microwave, extremely high frequencies and hyper high frequencies», «Solid-state electronics, micro- and nanoelectronic», «Laser and optoelectronic systems: development, creation, application», «Quantum electronics and photonics», «Modern measuring instruments and technologies», «Modern problems and technologies for training specialists in the field of radiophysics, radio engineering and optics». It aims to provide an international cooperation and exchange platform for experts, scholars and enterprise managers in the fields of the application of radiophysics to share research results, discuss existing problems and challenges and explore cutting-edge technologies. COVID-19 Update: For reasons of Covid 19, the conference changed its time from September 20-22 to October 20-22 and was held in full-time format. This scientific event brings together more than 10 national and international researchers in radiophysics. On top of the local participants coming from different national universities, international participants are also registered from different countries. During the conference, the conference model was divided into seven sessions, including oral presentations, keynote speeches, and Q&A discussion. In the first part, keynote speakers were each allocated 20-30 minutes to hold their speeches. Then in the second part, some scholars, whose submissions were selected as the excellent papers, were given about 10 minutes to perform their oral presentations one by one. List of Program Committee, Organizing Committee, Editorial Committe are available in this pdf.

Orientation: The implementation of transformational leadership in public services after national elections has been well recorded in other parts of the world. However, this is not the case in South Africa. Research purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine whether transformational leadership has a beneficial relationship with subordinate leadership acceptance, job performance and job satisfaction.Motivation for the study: Leadership is a critical issue that the public sector needs to address in order to survive and succeed in today’s unstable environment. According to Groenewald and Ashfield (2008), transformational leadership could reduce the effects of uncertainty and change that comes with new leaders and help employees to achieve their objectives.Research design, approach and method: The sample comprised 1050 full-time employees in the public sector based in head offices. The measuring instruments included the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ), the Leadership Acceptance Scale (LAS), the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and the Job Performance Survey (JPS).Main findings: Transformational leadership had a positive correlation with subordinate leadership acceptance, performance and job satisfaction.Practical/managerial implications: Managers can train public sector leaders to be transformational leaders because of the adverse effect lack of transformation can have on employees’ attitudes in areas like satisfaction, performance and commitment.Contribution/value-add: This study makes an important contribution to our understanding of transformational leadership processes and to how the public service can improve its practices in order to render quality service to South Africans.

Radio studies of galactic HII regions are best carried out at the two ends of the radio spectrum. At high frequencies, of hundreds or thousands of megacycles per second, HII regions are seen by virtue of their thermal emission against a weak nonthermal background. Since radio waves are unaffected by the obscuration along the plane, it is possible in principle to see right through the Galaxy, and the high resolution which can be achieved in the thousands of megacycles range enables us to study at least the nearer regions in considerable detail. At low frequencies, below about 20 Mc/s, ionized hydrogen is seen in absorption against a bright nonthermal background. Since quite tenuous regions may be almost opaque at the lower frequencies, the technique provides quite a sensitive method of detecting them. The absorption increases with decreasing frequency so that studies at different frequencies enable us to see to varying depths along the line of sight and could permit the derivation of rough distance estimates.

ObjectivesConcerns have been raised about poor-quality palliative care research and low publication rate from conference abstracts. The study objectives: to estimate the publication rate for European Association for Palliative Care research conference abstracts (2008) and explore associated characteristics and to understand reasons for non-publication.MethodsFull published papers were searched to March 2015 (Medline; Pubmed; Google Scholar) and data extracted: country of origin, study design/population/topic. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify predictors of publication.Members of two different palliative care associations were surveyed to understand reasons for non-publication. χ2 statistic was used to explore associations with publication.ResultsOverall publication rate of the 445 proffered abstracts was 57%. In the final model, publication was more likely for oral presentations (OR 2.13; 95% CI 1.28 to 3.55; P=0.003), those from Europe (3.24; 1.09 to 9.56; P=0.033) and much less likely for non-cancer topics (0.21; 0.07 to 0.64; P=0.006). Funding status, academic unit or study design were not associated with publication.Survey407/1546 (26.3%) physicians responded of whom 254 (62%) had submitted a conference abstract. Full publication was associated with: oral presentation (P<0.001), international conference abstracts (P=0.01) and academic clinicians versus clinicians (P<0.001). Reasons for non-publication included: low priority for workload (53%) and time constraints (43%).ConclusionsThe publication rate was similar to 2005 clinical conference. Probable quality markers were associated with publication: oral presentations selected by conference committee, international conference abstracts and abstracts from those with an academic appointment. Publication was given a low priority among clinical time pressures.
