It was a great honor and personal privilege for us to organize the 9th Eurasia Conference on Chemical Sciences (EuAs C2S-9) in Antalya, Turkey, 9-13 September 2006. The choice of Turkey as a venue was especially appropriate in view of its special location and character as a bridge between Europe and Asia. Turkey's rich history and diversified cultural heritage provided an extra dimension to the atmosphere of the conference. The aim of the Eurasia Conferences is to support the scientific research of chemists in the Eurasia continent by inviting the participation of leading scientists from around the world. The Eurasia region has increased its profile in chemistry, particularly in chemical biology, over the last 20 years.The growing role of chemistry and the contributions of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries to science are significant. The next century will witness more momentous achievements in chemistry as well as its application in different fields for the benefit of mankind in terms of healthy, productive, long, and comfortable life.We particularly thank the participants who contributed scientific studies as oral and poster presentations at this conference. With the participation of the world's leading scientists from 39 countries, the conference was a good opportunity for all researchers to access recent information on achievements in the chemical sciences as well as to share and exchange their experiences during the conference.The scientific program consisted of 10 plenary lectures, 35 invited lectures, 12 session lectures, 24 oral presentations, and 128 poster presentations. The topics covered included biodiversity and natural product chemistry, biomolecular chemistry, catalysis and nanotechnology, computational chemistry, coordination chemistry (organized as a mini-symposium through the efforts of Prof. Dr. Susumu Kitagawa), environmental and analytical chemistry, and materials science and solution chemistry.The IUPAC-sponsored conference was attended by 268 participants from 39 countries. The participation of a large group of active young Turkish chemists was made possible by the financial support of the TUBITAK. In addition, a half-day excursion was organized for participants to Aspendos, Perge, and Side.The lecturers included: Prof. Dr. Robert Huber, Nobel laureate, from Germany and keynote speaker; HRH Princess Prof. Dr. Chulabhorn Mahidol from Thailand; Prof. Dr. U. K. Pandit; Prof. Dr. B. M. Rode; Prof. Dr. T. Norin; Prof. Dr. M. Isobe; Prof. Dr. S. Kitagawa; and Prof. Dr. H. Ohtaki.Six plenary lectures are published in this issue of Pure and Applied Chemistry along with the manuscripts from the project "Chemistry for Biology". The conference proceedings are being published by Springer-Verlag as Innovations in Chemical Biology.The news of the sudden and untimely death of Prof. Dr. Hitoshi Ohtaki on 5 November 2006 was received after the conference. He enthusiastically promoted international cooperation and took it upon himself to publicize Japanese science to the wider world. His plenary lecture will serve as a memorable contribution to that goal. He also prepared a separate chapter, including tributes, in the proceedings. Prof. Dr. Ohtaki will be missed by all of us.The next Eurasia conference, the 10th Eurasia Conference on Chemical Sciences (EuAs C2S-10), will be held in Manila, Philippines in 2008.Prof. Dr. Bilge SenerChair, National Organizing Committee

Initially, the Thai Physics Society and Prince of Songkla University had planned to co-host the SPC2021 in Songkhla province in Southern part of Thailand via hybrid form. Unfortunately, due to the rise of coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic cases in Thailand, the organizing committee had considered that physical conference would no longer be possible, and made 100% online decision. This is to keep up to the highest standard of health regulation and self-practice (from WHO) in avoiding the extremely serious pandemic. Consequently, the Thai Physics Society and Prince of Songkla University had facilitated and hosted the SPC2021 as national teleconference during May 24-25, 2021. This year, we had 185 research abstracts and papers submitted for both oral and poster online presentations. There were 1 plenary speaker, 25 invited speakers, 76 oral presentations, 83 poster presentations, and 99 full papers submitted for possible publication in all 21 tracks(topics). The scientific program was announced on the SPC2021 website (https://spc2021.sci.psu.ac.th/) and also distributed via email to all participants. The SPC2021 oral sessions were held via Zoom video conference. Participants can join online sessions either by using their individual Zoom account. The Zoom’s chat channel as well as professional management such as co-hosting the Zoom room from the host-side were employed to alleviate some glitches (e.g. delayed or unclear signals due to slow internet connection from the client-side). In addition, the chat channel was also used for exchanging contact details for further detailed discussion about the presentation. The online opening ceremony and plenary talk was live-broadcasted via Faculty of Science, Prince of Songkla University official Facebook page and YouTube account. After the online opening ceremony, a plenary talk entitled “Exploring the Universe with neutrinos and gravitational waves” by Professor Takaaki Kajita, 2015 Nobel Laureate in Physics from Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, The University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan, was given to the audience of approximately 200 participants. The oral presentations were arranged into 3 parallel Zoom rooms in total of 16 sessions. Each invited speaker was allowed 30-minute presentation while regular presenter had 15 minutes including questions and answers. The online audience-size of each room varied between 30 and 60 people. The poster presentations were uploaded onto the SPC2021 Indico website (https://indico.cern.ch/event/973315/), where only registered participants could access. In addition, all participants can login, access all abstracts as well as presentation materials, and submit the full paper. List of Editorial Materials, Logos are available in this pdf.

ObjectivesNeurology as a specialty is becoming increasingly feminised. Generally, women are under-represented in academic medicine, particularly at more senior levels. The aim of this study was to assess the gender balance of presenters at the 2014 ABN meeting.MethodsData on gender mix of the specialty was obtained from the 2012 Federation of the Royal College of Physicians Census. Oral presenters and first authors from posters were identified using the Meeting Programme and Abstract Book and the GMC register was used to ascertain individuals' gender.Results29.5% of neurology trainees and consultants are female. There were 38 platform presentations, and 188 poster presentations. It was possible to identify the gender of 99.6% of presenters and first authors. 48.9% of first authors on posters were female; women conducted 18.4% of platform presentations. Oral presenters were significantly more likely to be male (p<0.01).ConclusionCompared to the specialty as a whole, women were well represented at the meeting. However, females were significantly less likely to undertake more prestigious oral presentations. Further work is planned to identify whether the reason behind this imbalance is explicit or implicit bias, and to help identify barriers to increasing female participation in academic neurology.

This volume summarizes the present status of research in the field of organic and inorganic boron chemistry, presented by the invited speakers at the 12th International Meeting on Boron Chemistry (IMEBORON-XII), held in Sendai, Japan, 11-15 September 2005. IMEBORON-XII consisted of 1 plenary lecture, 22 invited lectures, 24 keynote lectures, 48 short oral presentations, and 99 poster presentations. In all, 280 chemists contributed to a truly international meeting, with participants representing China, Czech Republic, Germany, Israel, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States.The presentations at IMEBORON-XII covered all aspects of boron chemistry including theoretical studies, synthetic methods of organic and inorganic boron compounds, novel molecular structures, application of organic and inorganic boron compounds to organic synthesis as catalysts or as reagents, medicinal applications, and creation of new materials (liquid crystals, supramolecular clusters, nanocylinders, molecular electronic devices, nanomachines, ceramics, etc.). Not only the distinguished senior members of the boron community, but also young boron chemists took an active part in the conference. Not only traditional boron chemistry, but also new evolving research areas of boron chemistry were presented. Accordingly, I feel that a new generation of both researchers and research fields is coming in boron chemistry. A selection of the invited contributions to IMEBORON-XII is presented in the 14 papers in this issue.The importance of scientific exchange in this field was recognized during IMEBORON-XII. Therefore, the continuation of this series of conferences was discussed, and the venue for IMEBORON-XIII in 2008 will be organized by Prof. F. Teixidor at the Institut de Ciencia de Materials de Barcelona, C.S.I.S., Campus U.A.B., Ballaterra, Spain.Yoshinori YamamotoChairman of IMEBORON-XII

Green chemistry occupies a research frontier that is the subject of much current research activity. Although it is not a new branch of chemistry, it demands distinctive thought processes about existing and new chemistry tools, as well as knowledge and creative design of those chemical principles that can contribute toward societal growth whilst protecting the environment and human health. To achieve these ends, it is necessary to create more awareness in the lay public, and to ensure that teachers and students at all levels of education become familiar with the basic concepts and their beneficial outcomes. In this respect, developing countries still have much to do in order to achieve higher levels of awareness of and participation in a greener vision.The IUPAC-sponsored Second International Symposium on Green/Sustainable Chemistry, held in Delhi on 10-13 January 2006, contributed successfully to promoting international awareness of green chemistry. Almost 550 delegates attended from 22 countries and participated in deliberations on recent advances in the trend toward more environmentally friendly practice of chemistry. In addition to a program of 8 plenary lectures and three-way parallel sessions for 31 main and 44 invited lectures by eminent scientists, upcoming doctoral candidates and postdoctoral fellows gave 33 oral presentations on their contributions to future developments in green chemistry. The poster presentations showcased up-to-date research on a range of topics including synthesis of bioactive compounds, green edges of physical chemistry including computational methods, and the use of biomaterials, nanotechnology, biomimetic processes, microwave technology, and ionic liquids, amongst others. The subject of methodological industrialization attracted much interest and served as a source of information and inspiration to representatives from no less than 28 chemical and pharmaceutical companies.The Symposium has contributed to the growing recognition that government, industry, and the academic sector need to cooperate closely, in order to achieve and promote the cause of green chemistry and its beneficial consequences throughout the world. The challenge for the chemistry community is to recognize the need and pursue research that engages environmentally friendly challenges and outcomes. Chemistry provides many of the tools that enable us to understand and influence the environment, and has the potential to be a decisive factor in securing an environmentally acceptable future for humankind. At the practical level, each advance through development of a safe process or a safe product contributes to that future. Much has already been achieved, but a great deal more remains to be done. The publication of this collection of papers, based upon a selection of lectures of the Symposium, provides an overview of some of the chemistry through which clean, eco-friendly, and less wasteful manufacturing processes for sustainable development is increasingly being realized.The International Organizing Committee contributed to shaping the program for this important event in the international calendar of green chemistry activities. Thanks are due to the Local Organizing Committee for the efficiency and excellence of the arrangements and for the gracious hospitality extended to all participants. On behalf of the organizers, I am grateful to those who contributed their research work to this issue and for the support from Dr. John W. Jost, IUPAC Executive Director.M. KidwaiSymposium Chairman
