Summary
The European Respiratory Society (ERS) Junior Members Committee (JMC) has new leadership, with Anders Bjerg elected as chair. New representatives were also chosen for the ERS Education Council and the Breathe journal
Area of Science:
- Respiratory Medicine
- Medical Society Leadership
Background:
- The European Respiratory Society (ERS) Junior Members Committee (JMC) plays a vital role in supporting early-career professionals.
- Leadership transitions are a natural part of organizational development and continuity.
Purpose of the Study:
- To announce leadership changes within the ERS Junior Members Committee (JMC).
- To introduce newly elected representatives and acknowledge outgoing members.
- To highlight evolving roles in scientific communication and education within the ERS.
Main Methods:
- Reporting on election outcomes from the ERS International Congress.
- Announcing appointments to key ERS committees and publications.
Main Results:
- Indre Butiene concluded her 3-year term as JMC chair.
- Anders Bjerg was elected as the new JMC chair.
- Agnes Boots was elected as the new representative to the ERS Education Council.
- Georgia Hardavella took over the 'Doing Science' series in Breathe.
- Neil Saad is coordinating the 'Hot Topics' section.
Conclusions:
- The ERS JMC is undergoing a leadership transition with new individuals taking key roles.
- These changes signify a continuation of the JMC's commitment to education and scientific engagement.
- New leadership is expected to bring fresh perspectives to ERS initiatives.

01:19Resistance
7.7K
When a current moves through any conductor, the conductor causes some level of difficulty for the current to flow. The measure of that difficulty is known as the resistance of the material and is represented by R. Every material has its own resistance. In the case of conductors, heat is emitted whenever a current passes through them. Resistance depends on the resistivity of the material. Resistivity is a characteristic of the material used to fabricate electrical components, whereas the...

13.0K
Many heavier elements with smaller binding energies per nucleon can decompose into more stable elements that have intermediate mass numbers and larger binding energies per nucleon—that is, mass numbers and binding energies per nucleon that are closer to the “peak” of the binding energy graph near 56. Sometimes neutrons are also produced. This decomposition of a large nucleus into smaller pieces is called fission. The breaking is rather random with the formation of a large...

During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

01:22Creep in Concrete
1.7K
Creep refers to the time-dependent increase in strain under a sustained load, excluding other time-dependent deformations associated with shrinkage, swelling, and thermal expansion in concrete. The primary mechanism behind creep involves the loss of physically adsorbed water from the calcium silicate hydrate within the hydrated cement paste. This process is further exacerbated by concrete's non-linear stress-strain relationship, microcrack development in the interfacial transition zone, and...

01:30The Electrical Double Layer
169
In the region where two bulk phases meet, an intricate electric charge distribution arises due to charge transfer, ion adsorption, molecular orientation, and charge distortion. This complex distribution is commonly referred to as the electrical double layer.When a solid electrode interfaces with ions in an electrolyte solution, the speed of electron transfer dictates the rates of oxidation and reduction. The electrode acquires a charge through the escape of atoms into the solution as cations or...

01:17Second-Order Circuits
4.9K
Integrating two fundamental energy storage elements in electrical circuits results in second-order circuits, encompassing RLC circuits and circuits with dual capacitors or inductors (RC and RL circuits). Second-order circuits are identified by second-order differential equations that link input and output signals.
Input signals typically originate from voltage or current sources, with the output often representing voltage across the capacitor and/or current through the inductor. For example, in...
