First Time

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.

Biomedical Fields

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.

Annual International Conference

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.

Issue 7.1 represented the annual special issue of selected papers presented at ALT-C 98. This issue is the first time the new editorial team have edited an 'open' issue comprised of papers selected from those submitted as part of the normal refereeing process. The broad scope of the papers in this open issue - courseware design, collaborative learning, evaluation, student use of electronic bibliographic databases, staff development - bears witness to one of the most fascinating aspects of learning technology: its broad-based interdisciplinary nature.DOI:10.1080/0968776990070201
