This is a personal reflection on the experience of organising, postponing, and then reorganising an international conference online during a pandemic. It considers the very real elements of the external chaos, suffering, and confusion which were held in mind throughout the conference planning and delivery, as we also navigated different time zones and constantly changing advice regarding Covid-19. It is about how we transformed our initial feelings of frustration, disappointment, and loss into the drive to keep as much of our original plan alive, and, in the process, how the first IAFP conference with a large group and live simultaneous translation was created online.

С 22 по 23 апреля 2021 г. в онлайн-режиме прошла II Международная научно-практическая конференция из цикла «Всемирная медицина в повседневной практике: очередной год пандемии и новые вызовы для службы здравоохранения». Онлайн-трансляция конференции проводилась в нескольких часовых поясах при участии 20 докладчиков из девяти стран мира, а ее слушателями были 38,5 тысяч врачей из Европы и Азии. Конференция была посвящена новостям о пандемии COVID-19, а также наблюдениям за тем, как она меняет повседневную клиническую практику и какие вызовы ставит перед врачами. From April 22 to 23, 2021, the II International Scientific and Practical Conference from the cycle «World Medicine in Everyday Practice: Another Year of the Pandemic and New Challenges for the Health Service» was held online. The online broadcast of the conference was held in several time zones with the participation of 20 speakers from nine countries of the world, and its listeners were 38,5 thousand doctors from Europe and Asia. The conference focused on news about the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as observing how it is changing daily clinical practice and what challenges it poses for doctors.

Julian Gröbner, Guest editor and chairman of the NEWRAD scientific committee Physikalisch-Meteorologisches Observatorium Davos, World Radiation Center (PMOD/WRC) Dorfstrasse 33 7260 Davos Dorf, Switzerland The 14th International Conference on New Developments and Applications in Optical Radiometry (NEWRAD 2021) was organised by the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST), Boulder, United States and held online from 21 to 24 June 2021. Due to the COVID pandemic the original venue at Boulder in June 2020 had to be postponed and changed to a virtual event with a novel schedule consisting of pre-recorded talks and live sessions with the presenters to interact with conference attendees. The event was very well attended, notwithstanding the global participation with corresponding challenging time zones of the participants. A total of 274 registrations were received, with typically more than 100 attendees joining the online sessions. The NEWRAD scientific Committee would like to thank John Lehman and the whole local organising team for organising and holding this excellent event in the frame of these challenging conditions. 142 presentations were submitted, of which 48 were selected for oral talks, while the remaining submissions were presented as posters.

‘Multilateral diplomacy’, like many other terms current in the literature of international relations, tends to serve less as a topic for careful study than as a symbol, evoking generalized reactions of approval or disapproval, confidence or anxiety. In the mind of the public, the mention of those two words today calls up a picture of a big, noisy international conference, complete with committees and chairmen, agenda and rules of procedure, debates and votes, rostrum and gallery, earphones for simultaneous translation and microphones and cameras for world-wide transmission of the proceedings.

Crystallographic Planes

ALCHEMI (Atom Location by CHannelling-Enhanced Microanalysis) is a TEM technique for determining site occupancies in single crystals. The method uses the channelling of incident electrons along specific crystallographic planes. This channelling results in enhanced x-ray emission from the atoms on those planes, thereby providing the required site-occupancy information. ALCHEMI has been applied with success to spinel, olivine and feldspar. For the garnets, which form a large group of important minerals and synthetic compounds, the channelling effect is weaker, and significant results are more difficult to obtain. It was found, however, that the channelling effect is pronounced for low-index zone-axis orientations, yielding a method for assessing site occupancies that is rapid and easy to perform.
