From January 28 to 30, 1933, was held at the Institut Henri Poincaré (Paris) the first International Conference of Nonlinear Oscillations organized at the initiative of the Dutch physicist Balthazar Van der Pol and of the Russian mathematician Nikolaï Dmitrievich Papaleksi. The discovery of this forgotten event, whose virtually no trace remains, was made possible thanks to the report written by Papaleksi on his return to USSR. This document has revealed, both the list of participants who included French mathematicians — Alfred Liénard, Élie and Henri Cartan, Henri Abraham, Eugène Bloch, Léon Brillouin, Yves Rocard — and, the content of presentations and discussions. The analysis of the minutes of this conference presented here for the first time highlights the role and involvement of the French scientific community in the development of the theory of nonlinear oscillations.

Although 31 years have passed since the discovery of endothelin, that pioneering report, and the subsequent flood of influential studies elucidating its molecular and clinical details, have since paved the way for thousands of publications. They showed the promise of endothelin and the vast amount of work that remains to be done to fully unleash the potential this peptide possesses, both as a key physiological regulator and as a therapeutic target. Endothelin conferences and their proceedings have served as a host for many of these breakthrough studies, and in keeping with this fine tradition, Endothelin XVI will host novel research articles presented at the Sixteenth International Conference on Endothelin (ET-16) as its proceedings. On September 22–25, 2019, ET-16 was held at Kobe Port Oasis, Kobe, Japan, where numerous important discoveries were presented to the scientific community for the first time, many of which are compiled and published in this special issue. As the Editors of this special issue that comprises in-depth reviews, insightful editorials, and numerous original research articles discussing findings from various biomedical fields, we are extremely proud to present Endothelin XVI. We sincerely hope for the continued growth of this field for the benefit of the patients and the advancement of biomedical science.

For the first time, post-conference workshops were organised for the International Conference on Deductive and Object-Oriented Databases (DOOD). There were two workshops focusing on knowledge discovery and temporal reasoning. This report is dedicated to one dealing with temporal reasoning.

Abstract. We present an extension of the MUFITS reservoir simulator for modelling the ground displacement and gravity changes associated with subsurface flows in geologic porous media. Two different methods are implemented for modelling the ground displacement. The first approach is simple and fast and is based on an analytical solution for the extension source in a semi-infinite elastic medium. Its application is limited to homogeneous reservoirs with a flat Earth surface. The second, more comprehensive method involves a one-way coupling of MUFITS with geomechanical code presented for the first time in this paper. We validate the accuracy of the development by considering a benchmark study of hydrothermal activity at Campi Flegrei (Italy). We investigate the limitations of the first approach by considering domains for the geomechanical problem that are larger than those for the fluid flow. Furthermore, we present the results of more complicated simulations in a heterogeneous subsurface when the assumptions of the first approach are violated. We supplement the study with the executable of the simulator for further use by the scientific community.

Given gaps and intersections between education and social practice, this article goes to the next step. Efforts are focused on “what must be done,” what policy must be applied so that gaps and intersections must be eliminated, that means “all about the graduated from any education level could be absorbed by the labor market in a period. Conventional policies have failed, and alternative solutions are promoted by the scientific community among them, some scientists propose quite new forms, as the compassion-social entrepreneur. In this volume-section a quite radical reversal concept is proposed Instead of “good trade practices” in the frame of a high risk hard competitive market’s environment”, the “High Risk Ethical Priorities” is proposed taking into account market trends, and competition. From this point of view, the term “High Risk Ethical Priorities” (HREP) is introduced (for the first time), by this article. Finally, the two criteria, the Chi-square and the NE have been used, for the point of the unique equilibrium (deviation=0) be detected.

This non-refereed contribution to the special issue of Journal of Education and Research portrays the reflective experiences of a novice researcher who attended the First International Conference on Transformative Education Research and Sustainable Development in Dhulikhel, Nepal, in October 2016. I begin by introducing my interest in participating in academic and scientific conferences, reflect upon the mentorship received during my Master of Philosophy study at Kathmandu University School of Education, examine my dual roles of a volunteer in conference organization and a poster presenter at the same conference, and share my impressions of the conference environment. I conclude with some final thoughts on how I could enlarge conference learning.

The article is devoted to the researches analysis held by the scientific community of neighboring states, which are of a practical assistance to foreign citizens while visiting neighboring territories. As the subject of the study, conceptual issues of protecting the fundamental rights and freedoms of foreign citizens in the host country were selected (for example, Russia and Mongolia). Dialectic approach was used when disclosing the research’s general theme, the following methods were used: formal-logical, comparative-legal, sociological. It is well determined that joint science researches made by the science community representatives of bordering states correspond to the requirements of the time and find receptive audience and support by citizens of the neighboring states in the context of rights and fundamental freedoms protection. The aforementioned concept for the first time considers the intersectoral principle of protecting the rights and freedoms of foreign citizens in the host country. The prepared theoretical developments and recommendations in the form of memos, booklets, brochures in different languages reflect the specifics of different industries, such as civil, administrative, constitutional, criminal law, etc.

AbstractHumanity is experiencing a moment of great uncertainty. This is not the first time a pandemic threatens the lives of millions of people. However, the speed with which governments and scientists are reacting to events is unprecedented. In an incredibly short time after the discovery of the virus, public health measures were implemented, and the development of defences in the form of public policies, medical therapies, and vaccines began. At this precarious moment, when the proliferation of information (and misinformation) from a variety of sources contribute to the spread of panic, universities and the scientific community emerge as the best and most reliable sources of information. It is only highly qualified specialists who can truly address the pandemic and its terrible economic, political, and public health consequences.

This chapter discusses the N-body problem. In 1886, Karl Weierstrass submitted the following question to the scientific community on the occasion of a mathematical competition to mark the 60th birthday of King Oscar II of Sweden. Weierstrass asked that, ‘given a system of arbitrarily many mass points that attract each other according to Newton’s laws, try to find, under the assumption that no two points ever collide, a representation of the coordinates of each point as a series in a variable which is some known function of time and for all of whose values the series converges uniformly’. Henri Poincaré showed that the equations of motion for more than two gravitational bodies are not in general integrable and won the competition. However, the jury awarded the prize to Poincaré not for solving the problem, but for coming up with the first ideas of what later became known as chaos theory.
