The 5th International Conference on Behavioral Addictions was held in Cologne, Germany, April 23–25, 2018. It featured one of the largest concentrations of papers on pornography and sexual research presented in a single venue to date. Several key themes emerged from the conference. The theoretical basis for developing pornography and sexuality studies as components within the behavioral addiction research landscape is beginning to mature. Core components are the I-PACE theory and the development, validation, and employment in field studies of a steadily growing set of assessment tools including the Problematic Pornography Use Scale, the Brief Pornography Screener, and the Hypersexual Behavior Inventory. The field also benefitted from a keynote speech and a formal pro/con debate. The other principal debate was around the imminent release of ICD-11 by the World Health Organization and the way that Compulsive Sexual Behavior Disorder (CSBD) would be handled. There was a selection of papers looking at the debate from a variety of theoretical and practical points of view. Fieldwork from Poland suggested that well over 80% of people seeking treatment for CSBD had a problem with pornography use, rather than issues from acting out with real sexual partners.

The IEEE International Conference on Self-Adapting and Self-Organizing Systems (SASO) is the main forum for studying and discussing the foundations of a principled approach to engineering systems, networks, and services based on self-adaptation and self-organization. Over the past decade, it has consolidated as the primary scientific conference for sharing ideas on algorithms, technologies, tools and applications across a wide range of scientific fields. In 2016, the conference was hosted by the University of Augsburg, in Augsburg, Germany; its scientific program comprised full papers, short papers, poster and demo presentations, workshops, doctoral symposium and tutorials. This special issue of ACM TAAS champions some of the most solid research results of SASO 2016, presenting selected, revised and extended best articles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, I first set out a conceptualisation of globalised violence. I then reflect upon how psychology networks in general and community psychology networks in particular appear to have positioned themselves publicly in relation to the violence of the recent bombing and occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq. I ask whether networks of Community Psychologists are able/willing to publicly position themselves in regards to these specific events and the levels of globalised violence in general.

This article presents information on the EIASM's second Workshop on Accounting in Europe held in Frankfurt, Germany on December 5-6, 1991. Building on the success of the first Workshop on Accounting in Europe, held in Brussels in May, 1990, the second workshop attracted about fifty researchers from Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Sweden and Great Britain. The workshop provided the vital international platform for mutual understanding of national modes and concepts of accounting regulation. The paper titled "The Roots of Danish Accounting Regulation and the Implementation of the Seventh EC-Directive," presented by Merete Christiansen, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, traces the broader factors influencing the developing of accounting regulation and practice in Denmark and tries to make visible the interdependencies as well as the dynamics of those factors with special reference to group accounts, thus creating a unique but non-static environment for accounting regulation.

Before 1910, the study of liquid crystals was dominated by Lehmann and the German school of chemists. The point of gravity then moved to France with Friedel as a leading figure. While there are many studies about Lehmann, there are fewer about Friedel. He has written about himself, so to speak, and more people have cited him than read his original papers. In the first part of this historical review, I will, after a close reading of the original papers, trace the development on French soil between 1910 and 1922. After 1922, the progress stopped in France, but a renewal of interest in liquid crystals came from Germany in the late 1920s and the first international symposium was organised there in 1931, closely followed by one in England 1933. After the Second World War, a new symposium in 1958 revived the field and then came a new outburst of turbulent productivity in the late 1960s. My aim is to focus on some of the most prominent persons and some turning points also in this modern era. But my foremost aim is to illustrate that nothing happened in the straightforward way in which most texts tend to outline the history. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
