Eighth International Meeting of Technological Innovation

The eighth International Meeting of Technological Innovation (8th IMTI) is the result of the effort and dedication of researchers, research groups, research and extension division, and academic programs from the engineering faculty of the Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander, Ocaña, Colombia, The 8th IMTI was held on October 6-8, 2021, in Ocaña, Colombia, and has been creatively designed with the purpose of allowing the best possible experience of knowledge exchange for all speakers and participants; besides, from the interaction by means of a discussion forum for the academic and scientific community to contribute with the effective knowledge transfer The 8th IMTI has been highlighted and consolidated as a space where students, teachers, and professionals develop a permanent reflection on research trends and occupations in engineering. This annual meeting allows academic programs in engineering, architecture, urban planning, and related, to find new elements to incorporate into the academy life and thus be updated with the recent advances and last technologies. Therefore, the organizing committee to thank the Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander (UFPS), and the Foundation of Researchers in Materials Science and Technology (FORISTOM), for all the support academic and scientific received. In the same way, are extremely thankful to all authors and participants for providing their valuable contributions for this proceeding as well as the reviewers for their constructive recommendations and criticism aiding to improve the presented articles in this volume of proceedings. Likewise, we hope you enjoy the reading of this volume of the Journal of Physics Conference Series (JPCS), IOP Publishing, and that these manuscripts contribute to the generation and transfer of knowledge, as well as to the strengthening of research in Colombia. Consequently, the articles of this volume refer to general topics of physical and mathematical applied to sciences, engineering, technology, and innovation that were addressed in the 8th IMTI; for this reason, the editor hopes that those interested in the area of research, technology, and innovation in sciences and engineering can enjoy this reading, of the volume of the Journal of Physics: Conference Series (JPCS), which reflects a wide variety of current issues, that contributes to the generation and transfer of knowledge, as well as to the strengthening of research in science and engineering in Colombia. “Education and expression freedom for anyone”.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Development and Regional Integration of International Meeting

With the continuous development of human society, international meetings have increasingly become an important form of interaction and contact between countries around the world, and occupy a more and more prominent position in the international community. However, with the COVID-19 epidemic, the international meetings industry is in trouble. This paper empirically studies the impact of COVID-19 on the international meetings industry worldwide through a report published by CIMERT. Among the five globe regions, COVID-19 was found to have the greatest impact in Asia, followed by Africa, with Europe, North America and Latin America being the least affected. It was also found that, based on attendance, medium-sized meetings were the most affected followed by large meetings. The small and super large meetings, however, were the least affected. Finally, beneficial suggestions are made on how the meetings industry should develop in the future.

Attempts to Build Postwar Europe from Below in Stuttgart: Failure or Forerunner?

On May 2, 1964, a so-called Emigrationsparlament held its constituent meeting in the house of the Deutscher Gewerkschaftsbund (dgb) in Stuttgart. The meeting was opened by a speech of the parliament’s president, Antonio Maspoli, in which he outlined the aims of the new institution and coined the phrase ‘The emigrant is a worker from and for Europe and Europe is his country’. In the months following the Emigrationsparlament gathered several times and Maspoli—a Swiss national known for his engagement in the trade unions in Switzerland—pleaded for the establishment of a ‘sort of a European parliament of the foreign worker’ in Stuttgart. Maspoli’s repeated claims initiated debates within the municipal government about the stimulation of self-help among foreigners and their growing involvement in issues concerning them. Furthermore, Maspoli obtained premises for the establishment of an international meeting point called ‘Europa-Club’. However, his wish of setting up a European parliament in Stuttgart remained unfulfilled. While the local government eventually established a council, the desired parliament of foreign workers did not come into existence. Hence, Stuttgart missed the opportunity to become the site of an elected European parliament and the activities of the ueg fell into oblivion.

Dekompresi Mikrovaskular pada Neuralgia Trigeminalis dan Spasme Hemifasialis

Pendahuluan : Menurut konsesus spesialis bedah saraf pada The 5th International Meeting of The Society for Microvascular Decompression Surgery, 2002, di Matsumoto, Jepang, terapi terpilih untuk neuralgia trigeminalis dan spasme hemifasialis adalah melakukan operasi dekompresi mikrovaskular (DMV). Tujuan penulisan ini untuk mengetahui hasil operasi DMV pada penderita dengan neuralgia trigeminalis (NT) dan spasme hemifasialis (SHF) di RS Sanglah (RSS), Denpasar. Metode : Studi kohort tanpa kelompok kontrol dilakukan terhadap data rekam medis penderita NT dan SHF di RS Sanglah (RSS), Denpasar, yang menjalani DMV selama periode tahun 1991-2006. Prosedur DMV terdiri atas tindakan memperbaiki posisi pembuluh darah yang menekan dan membebaskan sumbu nervus trigeminus dengan meletakkan teflon di antara nervus dan pembuluh darah. Subjek dievaluasi dalam kurun waktu antara 1 sampai 12 tahun pascoperasi. Data dianalisis untuk memperoleh angka kesembuhan segera, tingkat kepuasan pasien, angka kesembuhan tidak sempurna, angka kekambuhan, dan komplikasi operasi. Hasil : Dari 37 orang subjek terdapat 30 orang dengan NT dan 7 orang dengan SHF. Kesembuhan segera setelah operasi 93,3% pada NT dan 85,7% pada SHF. Subjek merasa puas dengan tindakan yang dilakukan sebanyak 83,3% pada NT dan 71,4% pada SHF. Kesembuhan tidak total 10% pada NT dan 14% pada SHF. Gangguan pendengaran pascaoperasi 13,3% pada NT dan 14% pada SHF. Diskusi : Teknik reposisi pembuluh darah yang menekan nervus trigeminus atau nervus fasialis sebagai prosedur DMV dapat memberikan hasil yang memuaskan untuk mengobati NT dan SHF.
