After four straight months of increased activity, SEG’s September survey of oil companies and domestic contractors shows exploration in the U.S. and U.S. waters declined during the month (Figure 1). Comparative figures for U.S. land crews and marine vessels are given in Table 1. Preliminary seismic crew data from outside the U.S. were reported for the first time in September. The information in Table 2 was reported by the oil companies and contractors who provided the U.S. data. Additional data from other companies being surveyed will be announced as soon as it is available. SEG’s U.S. Seismic Crew Count is taken monthly for the Federal Energy Administration and is financed by a grant from the International Association of Geophysical Contractors.

These autobiographical fragments, published here for the first time, depict the legal theorist and lawyer Ralf Dreier (1931–2018) in an entirely new light: his childhood and adolescence in Nazi Germany, his studies at university during the Adenauer period (Hamburg and Freiburg), his years as an university assistant in Münster (when ‘the student movement reached the provinces’) and his decades of professorship at the University of Göttingen. He also looks back on his time as President of the International Association for Philosophy of Law and Social Philosophy (IVR) and the debate he initiated on civil disobedience in a constitutional state. Prof. Dreier’s memories, both sober and laconic but sometimes also surprisingly personal, lead to reflections in hindsight about his intellectual influences and his attitude towards life as an ‘existential outsider’. These memoires provide a detailed insight into an engrossing life story and a fascinating chapter in academic history. Ralf Dreier authorised Horst Meier (www.horst-meier-autor.de), a former postgraduate student of the eminent professor, to be his editor.

These editorial comments acknowledge those who have contributed to the success of the journal, especially through the transition period and our first year with SAGE. This work also serves as a brief introduction to the special section of manuscripts drawn from keynote speeches and invited addresses given at the 2019 International Association for the Psychology of Religion (IAPR) Conference in Gdańsk, Poland. Every other year, the IAPR hosts a conference. While these gatherings feature a variety of special invited keynote addresses, those remarks are often only available for the edification of attendees. For the first time, we are able to present here, in the journal, the texts of the speeches, suitably revised and expanded. Our goal is to provide a similar record of keynote addresses as they occur at future conferences so that the ideas can stimulate conversation and reflection beyond the moment of presentation.

When I met Ivan Sipkov for the first time at a conference of the International Association of Law Libraries (IALL), he used to speak very fondly about the time in the early forties when he served in Berlin as a member of the diplomatic corps of Bulgaria. So, in his honor, I decided to describe the Berlin scenery as he knew it, and today fifty years later: the streets in the center of Berlin (e.g. Unter den Linden); the university campus of the old Friedrich Wilhelm University known today as the Humboldt University; the Potsdam Square, with the new Staatsbibliothek; and the nice Dahlem campus of the Free University.

In April 2019, member-states of UNCITRAL Working Group III requested the UNCITRAL Secretariat to undertake preparatory work for a Code of Conduct for Investor-State Dispute Settlement focusing on the implementation and enforceability of such a code. This groundbreaking development signals that, for the first time, a consensus exists that a code of ethics for Investor-State dispute settlement is desirable and needed. This contribution addresses three threshold questions that such preparatory work raises, namely: the preferred form of the code, the code's substantive reach, and the optimal process for bringing a code to fruition. As set out below, we urge that states adopt a mandatory common code of ethics for disputes involving states, and that arbitral institutions adopt this code as part of their rules for administering arbitration.

AbstractThe International Association for Intelligent Biology and Medicine (IAIBM) is a nonprofit organization that promotes intelligent biology and medical science. It hosts an annual International Conference on Intelligent Biology and Medicine (ICIBM), which was initially established in 2012. Due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the ICIBM 2020 was held for the first time as a virtual online conference on August 9 to 10. The virtual conference had ~ 300 registered participants and featured 41 online real-time presentations. ICIBM 2020 received a total of 75 manuscript submissions, and 12 were selected to be published in this special issue of BMC Bioinformatics. These 12 manuscripts cover a wide range of bioinformatics topics including network analysis, imaging analysis, machine learning, gene expression analysis, and sequence analysis.

On the basis of archival documents in the fund of prof. I. Shishmanov highlighted in the article the contribution of Bulgarian scientist I.Shyshmanov to the study of problems related to famous Ukrainian scientist M. Dragomanov’s participation in the edition of the newspaper “Volnoe slovo” in Geneva. In the early twentieth century I. Shyshmanov took part in the discussion between V. Bohucharskyi, who called “Volnoe Slovo” authority of “Sviashchena drujina” and B. Kistyakivskyi, who claimed that the “Zemskyi soyus” was a real organization and showed its position in favor M. Dragomanov. The preparatory work of I. Shishmanov and M. Drahomanov’s family for establishing the truth is analyzed. Attention is drawn to the range of stakeholders and the documents from the Sofia archive of M. Drahomanov that reveal the scientist’s search work. Chronologically, the archival sources cover the period of 1907-1924. As a result, I. Shishmanov published two articles in 1913-1914. For the first time, documents are published, the originals of which are kept in the Scientific Archive of Bulgarian Academy of sciences.

Abstract. While groundwater recharge is considered fundamental to hydrogeological insights and basin management, only relatively little attention has been paid to its spatial distribution. And in ungauged catchments it has rarely been quantified, especially on the catchment scale. For the first time, this study attempts such analysis, in a previously ungauged basin. Our work based on field data of several soil moisture stations, which represent five geological formations of karst rock in Wadi Natuf, a semi-arid to sub-humid Mediterranean catchment in the occupied Palestinian West Bank. For that purpose, recharge was conceptualized as deep percolation from soil moisture under saturation excess conditions, which had been modelled parsimoniously and separately with different formation-specific recharge rates. For the regionalisation, inductive methods of empirical field-measurements and observations were combined with deductive approaches of extrapolation, following the recommendations for hydrological Prediction in Ungauged Basins (PUB), by the International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS). Our results show an average annual recharge estimation in Wadi Natuf Catchment (103 km2), ranging from 24 to 28 Mm3/yr, equivalent to recharge coefficients (RC) of 39–46 % of average annual precipitation. Thus, for the first time, formation-specific RC-values could be derived, assessed and quantified in their spatial distribution, and by creating a schematic conceptual basin classification framework for regionalisation that is also applicable in many comparable sedimentary basins in the Mediterranean and worldwide.
