ACG 2016 Paper and Poster Awards Welcome to ACG 2016! The Premier GI Clinical Event of the Year! Dear Colleagues, Welcome to ACG 2016 ACG’s Annual Scientific Meeting and Postgraduate Course, the premier GI clinical event of the year. The Postgraduate Course Directors and ACG’s Educational Affairs Committee, along with the Friday Course Directors, have brought together internationally recognized experts and rising stars in the field. This year’s program promises to deliver the latest clinical updates in gastroenterology and hepatology, plus discuss what is on the horizon that may impact your practice. 2016 was a record-breaking year for abstract submissions. You’ll find more than 2,300 posters and oral presentations this year. Poster presentations open on Sunday beginning at 3:30 pm. Posters may be found in the Exhibit Hall. A popular activity for viewing posters is Poster Rounds with the Experts. Each day of the poster sessions, well-known experts will lead attendees around to posters of interest. This is a great opportunity to discuss posters, garner insight from the experts, and make new contacts with other attendees in a low-key, relaxed environment. Poster Rounds with the Experts run from Sunday through Tuesday. Learn about the latest tools available and techniques from leading experts, when you visit the ACG Hands-on Workshop Center to participate in one of the many sessions offered free to all ACG 2016 attendees. You can pre-register for these sessions at the special Hands-on Registration desk at ACG 2016 Registration. Hands-on sessions are offered Sunday through Tuesday. Learn more on page 18. Don’t forget to attend the Exhibit Hall Opening Reception, on Sunday, October 16, from 5:15 pm – 7:00 pm, immediately following the Postgraduate Course. The largest social event at the meeting, it is a great opportunity to enjoy food and drink with colleagues and friends and to explore the Exhibit Halls in support of the meeting’s sponsors. And finally, the College is excited to announce at this meeting our joint meeting in 2017 with the WGO’s World Congress of Gastroenterology. Look for preliminary information about the program, our joint planning committee, and course directors. In closing, I want to thank you for the opportunity to serve you this year as ACG President.

  • The Second International Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems (2Nd ISFF)
    International Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems ISFF The Second International Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems (2nd ISFF) Disaster Risk Reduction and Water Harvesting in the Arab Region 25-27 October 2016 Technische Universität Berlin, Campus El Gouna El Gouna, Egypt Supported by: Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GADRI) Water Resources Research Center (WRRC) Disaster Prevention Research Institute Kyoto University International Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems ISFF The Second International Symposium on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems (2nd ISFF) In recent years, flash floods in Wadi Systems have caused severe damages, especially in the Arab regions. Human life, infrastructure such as roads and buildings as well as the environment are endangered and have been heavily destroyed. Flash floods are caused by extreme weather conditions, their occurrence is highly random and the associated problems are expected to increase in the near future due to climate change. On the one hand, there is an urgent need for flash flood protection and risk reduction, on the other hand, this rainwater can also be considered as a new resource for water harvesting. Finding solutions to these challenging problems requires close collaboration between scientists – established as well as young ones, - practitioners, and stakeholders from federal and public organizations. So we encourage you to contribute to the development of future solutions and to widen your own expertise and profile by attending the international symposium. This event is the second in a new series of annual International Symposia on Flash Floods in Wadi Systems. Furthermore this symposium is supported by the Water Resources Research Center (WRRC) and the Global Alliance of Disaster Research Institutes (GARDI) of the Disaster Prevention Research Institute (DPRI), Kyoto University, Japan, Deutsches Wissenschaftszentrum Kairo (DWZ) and UNESCO Office Cairo.

  • Medical Geography in Egypt: As an Interdisciplinary Subfield
    ISSN 2239-978X Journal of Educational and Social Research Vol. 3 (5) August 2013 Medical Geography in Egypt: As an Interdisciplinary Subfield Mohamed Nour Eldin Ibrahim Elsabawy Professor of Medical Geography Faculty of Arts, Minia University, Minia ,Egypt. Doi:10.5901/jesr.2013.v3n5p109 1. Introduction Medical geography studies geographical factors concerned with cause and effect of health and disease. So its task not to study diseases only, but places affected with such maladies, and not studies health only but Areal differentiations in health Care patterns. This paper aims to study the importance of medical geography as an interdisciplinary sub- discipline or subfield in Human and Social geography and attempt to follow up, analyze and classify studies of Medical geography in Egypt, since the existence of that branch in the beginning of 1980s to 2010, to observe the development of these studies. This development undoubtedly is necessary because the concept, terrain, and the range of this subfield were not understandable in the beginning of studies. So, many researchers preferred choosing general topics in the first time. Gradually, they have been concentrating, deliberating on subjects related to some diseases which correlate to Egyptian geographical environment. Explicitly, we can decide that the studies of medical geography in Egypt seem to be more general and more comprehensive especially in the period from 1986 until 1996. Thereafter till 2010, studies have dealt with specific topics and new methods and materials of Medical Geography. Medical Geography as a subfield depending upon many systems, polices and Sciences e.g. medicine, engineering, soil, Geology, Biology, Economy, Politics, History, and psychology.

In setting out on his path of research, he understands that he must tread not only with the impartiality required by the objectivity of his method but also with the intellectual honesty, the responsibility, and I would say with a kind of “reverence”, which befit the human spirit in its drawing near to truth. For the scientist, to understand in an ever better way the particular reality of man in relation to the biological-physical processes of nature, to discover always new aspects of the cosmos, to know more about the location and the distri- bution of resources, the social and environmental dynamics, and the logic of progress and development, becomes translated into a duty to serve more fully the whole of mankind, to which he belongs.
