In present work, adsorption related research contribution of Pakistani researchers from 1991 to 2017 have been analyzed by bibliometric methods. In total, 1,737 articles were selected through Science Citation Index Expanded (Web of Science) and statistical analysis of selected publications was conducted on the basis of four indicators such as total number of citations since publication to the end of the recent year, the number of citation of an article in recent year only, the total number of citations for an article in its publication year, and the total number of citations per year. A sharp increase in research output was observed after year 2000 which may be credited to reforms of Higher Education Commission in Pakistan. Though Pakistani researchers produced fewer review papers as compared to original research articles, reviews received three fold more citations. Almost 95% adsorption related articles from Pakistan have been published in low impact factor journals. Multidisciplinary chemistry journals published most of adsorption related Pakistani articles with maximum publications (10%) in Journal of the Chemical Society of Pakistan. Among various research institutes, University of Peshawar, Pakistan ranked first on the basis of total number of articles, first author articles, and corresponding author articles. Six most highly cited publications belonged to Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR). Number of international collaborative publications increased since 1991 to 2017 and resulted in their ratio being higher as compared to single institutional or nationally collaborative publications. The main focus of adsorption related literature from Pakistan since 1991 to 2017 was removal of metallic or dye contaminants from water and/or industrial effluents.

Full textAbstract:
Overqualification is emerging in today’s modern world, especially in COVID-19. This study was based on data collected from the Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, a renowned scientific and research organization in agriculture sector of Pakistan. A total of 250 Questionnaires were sent online using Google Forms and few were completed physically. The final sample size for data analysis was 214 after questionnaires collection and data cleaning. Results revealed that perceived over qualification has a moderate positive impact on the Job Satisfaction level and performance of employees. It is projected that perceived over qualification does not always have a negative impact on job outcomes and that the organizational environment plays an important role in mitigating the negative effects. Additionally, if an employee's job is effectively planned and the employees believes that they have career and growth chances in the organization, perceptions of over qualification may have a favorable impact on job outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Information literacy is considered an essential competency in the workplace because it gives a competitive advantage, improves decision-making and enhances efficiency as well as effectiveness of the workforce. This study intends to investigate information literacy among scientists working at the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR), Lahore. The data were collected from 121 scientists using a questionnaire, with both descriptive as well as inferential statistics applied for data analysis. The results indicated that a large majority of these scientists never received any formal IL training during their entire career. A large majority of these scientists, in general, perceived IL instructions as important and preferred short-term training programs if offered. In addition, these scientists were confident and competent in using searching tools, multiple printed and electronic information resources, comprehending published research and writing research papers. However, they were less comfortable in interpreting visual information, defining information needs, assessing relevance and quality, synthesizing and evaluating gathered information, using library e-resources, managing citations as well as developing and initiating search strategies. The age, gender, academic qualification, research experience and number of publications appeared as the predictor of IL self-efficacy. There was a critical need for making arrangements regarding IL instruction program for in-service scientists.

Heavy metal toxicity can either be acute or chronic effects. Long-term exposure of the body to heavy metal can progressively lead to muscular, physical and neurological degenerative process. In this research, a total of 30 representative chocolate samples were collected from local shops and markets in Lahore. All the samples were analysed to assess the levels of Lead (Pb), Nickel (Ni), Chromium (Cr) and Cadmium (Cd) by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer in Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR), Lahore. It was observed that the majority of chocolate samples contain heavy metals levels higher than the permissible limits as recommended by Punjab Food Rules (PFR) 2011. The levels of Pb ranged between 0.375 and 3.4 mg/kg with 90% samples having concentrations exceeding PFR allowable limit (0.5 mg/kg). Whereas, Ni concentrations varied from 0.005 to 0.28 mg/kg and 80% samples were above the PFR limit (0.025 mg/kg). Further, Cr levels analysed between 0.005 to 0.28 mg/kg and 53% samples had Cr concentrations higher than PFR limit (0.02 mg/kg). Similarly, Cd levels were observed between 0.50-3.25 mg/kg with 53% samples having Cd concentrations exceeding the PFR limit (1.0 mg/kg). Investigation indicates that the quality of available chocolates is not recommendable for eating because of the higher concentrations of toxic heavy metals.

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare the mean bacterial penetration % in surgical gowns at differentlaundering cycles which were used in three different categories of Hospital. Material & Methods: Fifty, locally available reusable surgicalgowns were collected from all the major teaching hospitals of Lahore as sample. Samples were analyzed and compared against internationalstandards. Samples were tested at different laundering cycles (after 0, 5, 10, 15, & 20 washings). The gowns were laundered at Mayo hospitallaundry services. The surgical gowns were subjected to multiple laundering cycles. The bacterial penetration test was performed atMicrobiology Lab., PCSIR (Pakistan Council of Scientific & Industrial Research) Laboratories Complex, Lahore. Data was analyzed by usingSPSS 16 versions and for comparison Repeated measurement ANOVA was used. A p-value less or equal to 0 .05 will be considered assignificant. Results: Overall the mean ± S.D penetration of bacteria in all samples was as under, at 0 Washing (86.47±2.91%), 5th washing(91.53±1.72%), 10th washing (95.60±0.91%), 15th washing (08.53±0.34%) and at 20th washing (99.47±0.13%). While comparing ondifferent laundering intervals or times the penetration of bacteria (%) was statistically increased from 86.47±2.91% to 99.47±0.13 %, p-value0.001. Conclusions: When studied for change in porosity after laundering reusable surgical gowns set up of hospitals in Pakistan resulted inincreased porosity and hence more penetration of bacteria across the fabric used for manufacture of surgical gowns. The loss of barrier effect ofsurgical gown is further compounded by lack of standardization of laundering technique, infra-structure use of improper detergent and othercleaning agents. This loss of fabric characteristics results in more bacterial contamination of surgical wound risk of infection to the patient.

Full textAbstract:
The current study was conducted to assess the concentration of heavy metals in rohu (Labeo rohita) and common carp (Cyprinus carpio). A total of three sites namely Rawal Lake Islamabad, Head Balloki, and a private fish farm in Muridke were selected. Fish were dissected and tissues from the liver, kidneys, gills, and muscles were separated. Chemical digestion of samples was carried out with aqua regia. Three metals namely chromium (Cr), cadmium (Cd), and mercury (Hg) were detected by using atomic absorption spectroscopy in the labs of Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PSCIR), Lahore, Pakistan. All metals were found at a higher level in different tissues of both the fish species. The overall trend of metals in the two fish species namely rohu and carp was recorded as Hg > Cd > Cr. It was observed that the level of Hg remained very high as compared to other metals. Statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and significant differences at p < 0.001 were noticed for the metals in different organs. While, independent sample t test showed non-significant differences at p > 0.483 between the two fish species. The liver was found to have the highest metal load, followed by the kidneys and gills. The metal load was above the permissible limit set by World Health Organization (WHO). However, the heavy metals concentration in muscles was below the permissible limit. It was noticed that heavy metal contamination was higher in Rawal Lake as compared to the private fish farm. It was concluded that contaminated water bodies are affecting the exposed organisms. So, there is a need to save them from pollutants for the best survival of aquatic life.

Full textAbstract:
On Friday 8th October 2021, the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Council in a “historic breakthrough” declared access to an environment without pollution as a fundamental human right. By recognizing that a healthy environment is a human right, the world body has formally added its support to the global fight against climate change and its devastating consequences. The UN declaration is critical for a world where nine million preventable deaths are caused due to environmental crises yearly.
This landmark declaration has firmly established, through research, an association between climate change, environmental degradation and its adverse effects on health. Reversing the level of current greenhouse gas emissions during this decade is crucial to prevent future disasters like extreme heat waves, flooding, tropical storms, rising sea levels supercharged by trapped carbons in the biosphere. As the clock is ticking for the planet's survival, catastrophic health related impacts are equally challenging. The UN Secretary General has termed this emergency as “red code for humanity”.2 The planet’s ecosystem and environment serve as health determinants for the entire humankind.
The recent surge in dengue in Pakistan, and COVID 19 pandemic underscore increase of zoonotic diseases, comprising various bacteria, parasites, viruses, fungi proliferating wildly and affecting global populations across continents. Research has established that severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) travelled from bats to humans through mutation in intermediate host of an unknown species.3 Unrestrained human activity & climate change figure in the destruction of ecosystems and likelihood of further pandemics.
Likewise, dengue transmission is on rise due to unusual global warming, as various vectors like mosquitoes, previously rare in this part of the world, are breeding faster. Consequently, the geographical distribution of vector-borne infectious diseases is likely to proliferate with an incremental increase in the duration and intensity of heat and humidity globally.4 “Humanity is now standing at a crossroads. We must now decide which path we want to take. How do we want the future living conditions for all living species to be like?” remarked Greta Thunberg.5
Reversing these trends would require a herculean effort on part of governments, public health systems and civil society organizations. Whereas, informed policy making is crucial to factor in climate change and public health impacts as a whole, public participation and advocacy campaigns are equally important in creating a critical movement towards a healthier world.
Globally, air pollution remains a major public health problem. According to World Health Organization (WHO) estimates, approximately 92 percent of the human population is exposed to unsafe levels of air pollution.6 Air pollution poses a major environmental hazard to human health, alongside climate change.7
Pakistan is no exception to the growing hazard of air pollution, as various human activities including vehicular, industrial, brick kilns units result in emissions in critical levels, raising the specter of toxic smog, particularly during the winter season in major cities of the subcontinent. According to World Population Review 2021, “Pakistan has been rated as the second-most polluted country in the world, where the average of PM2.5 (particulate matter of 2.5 micrometers diameter) concentration ranges up to 65.81.8
On 1st November 2021 the official air quality index (AQI) of Lahore was reported at 289, while international monitoring bodies reported it as 397. This rating ranked Lahore being the most polluted city in the world, ahead of its traditional rival New Delhi.9
During 2019, globally, Pakistan was listed as the second-most polluted country with an average PM2.5 concentration of 65.81.10 AQI levels in Punjab ranged between the "near unhealthy" or "very unhealthy" and touched a high ranking of 484.11
Recent medical research into the health impacts of air pollution is shocking.12 Firstly, no “safe” levels of air pollution. Air pollution strikes at almost every organ of the human body - not just the respiratory system, like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, besides, heart conditions, strokes and even cancer. As a public health professional, it is worrying that young children are particularly at risk of air pollution; new research indicates that air pollution exposure in children adversely impacts their cognitive development.
A report by United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund titled “Children’s Climate Risk Index13 states that one billion children, or half of global 2.2 billion child population, classified as living in the “extremely high risk” countries, will suffer the extreme consequences of climate change as they face “multiple and often overlapping shocks”. Pakistan is also listed among other “vulnerable” countries in the South Asian region. As activist Thunberg warned world leaders that, “science does not lie!”
According to a new Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report, “By the year by 2060, 6 to 9 million premature deaths can be caused by ambient air pollution which shall impact economic growth in terms of monetary losses, around 1% of the global GDP – approximately USD 2.6 trillion annually – these are estimates of total sick days, medical bills and reduced agricultural output”.14
A recent research report on association between energy and clean air, “Costs of air pollution from fossil fuels, both human and economic”, states that three times as many deaths occur due to burning gas, coal and oil, as compared to deaths reported as road traffic accidents worldwide. The impact of global economic cost due to air pollution is $2.9 trillion, approximately 3.3 percent of the global GDP.15
A 2018 report stated an average of PM2.5 pollution was associated with 4.5 million deaths, 4 million new cases of asthma in children and 2 million preterm births, besides, loss of livelihoods of 1.8 billion days”.15 The ambient air pollution poses a huge economic cost in terms of health impacts on global population. Exposure to air pollution disproportionally affects older individuals.16
Most recent study published in October 2021, South Asia Climate Roadmap 2021-2025 states “the quality of life in Pakistan is set to decline by 4% to 5% by 2030, mainly due to Pakistan’s increased vulnerability as a consequence of climate change”. It states that 49 m reside in “high risk” areas where their health and wellbeing is directly affected by water scarcity, disease outbreak and water & food insecurity. The damage is amplified, being the fastest urbanizing country in South Asia,”.17
Peshawar is also been one of the leading cities with unhealthy air quality. The World Economic Forum 2016 report states, “amongst the 3,000 cities in the WHO’s air quality database, Peshawar ranked in second place, followed by Zabol in Iran.18
An ongoing research by Prof Dr Mohmammad Rafique, “Welfare impact of dust pollution on human health in district Khyber, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan”, was conducted on a population bordering industrial estate near Hayatabad Township. The analysis of air pollution the Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) report on 26 December 2018 concluded hazardous levels of 2450 ppm as against EPA permissible 150 ppm level. It was ground level estimation as against customary elevated level measurement. On that particular day, as per PCSIR measurement of analysis it was “16 times higher meaning it was extremely hazardous” for human health.
Another study titled, “Health costs of brick kilns emissions in Peshawar: A Policy Analysis” estimated ,“Total welfare benefit in terms of health cost for district Peshawar is PKR 6692.985 million or (PKR 6.7 billion) per annum with air quality mitigation to a safer level. Besides, 36 days per annum is estimated as the productivity loss by individuals. For each household the monetary benefit to avoid the restricted day of working is PKR 198, whereas the monetary benefit for the Peshawar city is PKR 107.935 million of bringing down the PM10 level.4,19
Globally, the vision for clear blue skies and pollution free world is gaining momentum. A two day UN summit on Climate Change (COP26), comprising 120 heads of state & governments at Glasgow, to find ways towards a cleaner world and reducing global warming. “The climate crisis has already been solved. We already have all the facts and solutions. All we have to do is to wake up and change.” urged the 17 year old activist Greta Thunberg.
It is through interactive partnerships with civil society, academia, and public health experts and government that the vision for healthy Peshawar and Pakistan can achieve successful outcomes. Public health specialists need to generate more evidence based research into the health impacts of air pollution to meet the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation.

"Evaluation of Antimicrobial Effect of Oenothera biennis by Using Different Concentrations of Extract against Staphylococcus Aureus -An experimental study." Pakistan Journal of Medical and Health Sciences 15, no. 9 (September 30, 2021): 2900–2902. http://dx.doi.org/10.53350/pjmhs211592900.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Staphylococcus aureus is a superbug which is infamous for causing wound infections. Unfortunately it is developing resistance quickly against commonly used antibiotics. Antimicrobial drugs effective against methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus are too expensive to afford by impoverish population in our country. However, herbal medicines are seen to be equally effective with less severe adverse effects. There is need to explore alternative medicines of botanical origin to cure dangerous bacteria. Oenothera biennis contains phytochemicals which have antimicrobial activity against some gram negative and gram positive microorganisms. Objectives: To evaluate the minimum inhibitory concentration of Oenothera biennis seed extract against staphylococcus aureus by using different concentrations. Study Design: In Vitro antibacterial study. Settings: The study was conducted in microbiology laboratory of Shaikh Zayed Medical Complex, Lahore. Duration: One year. Methodology: Oenothera biennis extract was prepared in 95% Ethanol in biochemistry laboratory of Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) Lahore. Staphylococcus aureus isolates were procured from microbiology laboratory and American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) strains used as quality control for MSSA & MRSA, were purchased from musaji adam and sons Karachi (imports@science-ware.com). The antibacterial activity of oenothera biennis seed extract against staphylococcus aureus was tested by deep well broth microdilution and disc diffusion method. Different concentrations of stock solutions (100μg/10μl to 500μg/10μl of DMSO) were used to test antimicrobial effect to establish dose response relationship. Results: Results were measured and compared according to Clinical and Laboratory Standard Institute. Oenothera biennis seed extract inhibited growth of methicillin sensitive and methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus isolate from laboratory as well as ATCC strains with minimum inhibitory concentration 530μg/10μl solvent. Whereas other concentrations 50 μg/10μl ,100 μg/10μl ,150 μg/10μl ,200 μg/10μl ,250 μg/10μl ,300 μg/10μl ,350 μg/10μl ,400 μg/10μl ,450 μg/10μl and 500 μg/10μl had no effect at all. Conclusion: Oenothera biennis extract inhibits growth of staphylococcus aureus at concentration of 530μg remarkably. This can inhibit both MSSA & MRSA already proved in our study. This could be beneficial as an alternate medicine. However, further research is needed to be conducted for animal study. Key words: Oenothera biennis, ethanolic extract, Methicillin sensitive, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, MSSA, MRSA.

Full textAbstract:
There is a process by which scientific collections become heritage. The case of a wood collection, or xylarium, at the Australian National University (ANU) is discussed from its start in the Commonwealth Forestry Bureau in 1926, its association with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research/Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation from 1928, its transfer to ANU in 1965, its manifold uses at ANU, and its decline and heritage assessment in 2011. The collection, consisting of 8,400 wood samples, microscope slides, panels and artefacts, was used for teaching forestry students, research into wood anatomy, and for identifying timber. Its future is uncertain.

In the Soviet Union in the 1920s–1930s, for the first time in the world, they began to plan scientific research and development in branch science. An outstanding role in the development of methodological and theoretical problems of planning scientific research belonged to N. I. Bukharin. To do this, he created a scientific and technical department in the Supreme Council of National Economy, and when the Supreme Council of National Economy was liquidated, the Central Research Sector (CRS) of the People’s Commissariat of Heavy Industry began to deal with the planning of scientific research. In the Urals, in the most important industrial center of the industrialization of the USSR, F. P. Barsukov, a native of the city of Polotsk, Byelorussian SSR, engaged in the organization of planning and development of industry and academic science. In Sverdlovsk, he created the Ural House of Technology and a geological exhibition - the future Ural Geological Museum. In 1937 F. P. Barsukov was repressed. He died in a detention camp in 1942.

Full textAbstract:
IntroductionSouth Asia is home to more than 300 million smokeless tobacco (ST) users. Bangladesh, India and Pakistan as signatories to the Framework Convention for Tobacco Control (FCTC) have developed policies aimed at curbing the use of tobacco. The objective of this study is to assess the compliance of ST point-of-sale (POS) vendors and the supply chain with the articles of the FCTC and specifically with national tobacco control laws. We also aim to assess disparities in compliance with tobacco control laws between ST and smoked tobacco products.Methods and analysisThe study will be carried out at two sites each in Bangladesh, India and Pakistan. We will conduct a sequential mixed-methods study with five components: (1) mapping of ST POS, (2) analyses of ST samples packaging, (3) observation, (4) survey interviews of POS and (5) in-depth interviews with wholesale dealers/suppliers/manufacturers of ST. We aim to conduct at least 300 POS survey interviews and observations, and 6–10 in-depth interviews in each of the three countries. Data collection will be done by trained data collectors. The main statistical analysis will report the frequencies and proportions of shops that comply with the FCTC and local tobacco control policies, and provide a 95% CI of these estimates. The qualitative in-depth interview data will be analysed using the framework approach. The findings will be connected, each component informing the focus and/or design of the next component.Ethics and disseminationEthical approvals for the study have been received from the Health Sciences Research Governance Committee at the University of York, UK. In-country approvals were taken from the National Bioethics Committee in Pakistan, the Bangladesh Medical Research Council and the Indian Medical Research Council. Our results will be disseminated via scientific conferences, peer-reviewed research publications and press releases.

Full textAbstract:
The Science and Industry Endowment Fund (SIEF) was established in 1926 by the passage in the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia of the Science and Industry Endowment Act at the same time as the Science and Industry Research Act established the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research. The SIEF played a major role in funding the training of Australian research workers from 1926 to 1950 and funded much of the research carried out in Australian universities in the pre-war period. This paper documents the activities of the SIEF from its inception in 1926 until inflation eroded the value of the Fund in the 1970s. The Fund was later reinvigorated by the injection of $150 million by the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation between 2009 and 2010.

Shortly after the Second World War Trevor Pearcey joined the Radiophysics Division of the Australian Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), the predecessor of today's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO). He designed the first Australian electronic computer, which was constructed in the Division. By 1951 this machine was functioning, but three years later a decision was made to discontinue work on computer development in CSIRO. Pearcey however went on to play a vital role in Australian computing, both in CSIRO and in academia. This paper tells something of Pearcey's early contribution to Australian computing. It also takes a fresh look at some of the factors involved in the 1954 decision to terminate computer development in CSIRO.

Full textAbstract:
Online studios gained popularity in the wake of the spread of COVID-19 pandemic. Physical “lockdown” of Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) forced the Higher Education Commission (HEC), Pakistan to allow universities to carry on learning and examination through the online mode. HEC developed protocols and in consultation with university administrations recommended faculty training, procedural formulation, and technology development requirements for the continuation of online classes and examination. This initiative motivated the departments and schools of architecture in different universities to undertake online classes as well as studios. Pakistan Council of Architects and Town Planners (PCATP), the accreditation body, laid down further protocols for conducting online studios and juries. Thus, between spring 2020 and spring 2021 an online studio pedagogy emerged. The current study brings together thinking, experiences, and viewpoints on online studio pedagogy through a review of webinars and online documentation, conducted along with the interviews of professionals, academics, and students. The main objective of this research is to verify the significance of online studio vis-à-vis studios and juries conducted physically. It also aims to delineate the pre-requisites, opportunities, and risks involved in online studios in the context of Pakistan. Students’ feedback on the importance and preference of online or physical studio was collected through online survey and face to face (F2F) discussion. SPSS was used to correlate the variables. The study would help studio instructors and learners to improve their capabilities, equipment, environment, and daily discipline. Moreover, it is also expected to contribute in the discussion on National Curriculum development towards a more realistic, relevant, and resource efficient means for architectural education.

Full textAbstract:
This study sought to investigate the usability of artificial intelligence (AI) for the improvement of records management activities at the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) in South Africa. Usability of AI and intelligent robotic machines for the management of records plays a crucial role in ensuring that records management activities are improved and managed effectively and efficiently. However, usability issues are critical in many AI systems, where human intelligence (HI) works with the system to work out and apply results (as with speech system). The convergent mixed methods research approach was applied and data were collected using interviews and questionnaires techniques. A questionnaire was administered to three professional repositories and indexers, two archives’ technicians and one data librarian. Interviews were conducted with one portfolio manager and one records manager. Data were analysed thematically and statistically and presented using tables and figures. AI has the capability to replace records practitioners since it can perform activities performed by records practitioners. This transition can have a negative impact on the usability of AI to improve the records management activities at the CSIR. The study revealed that AI and intelligent robotic machines can be used in the improvement of records management activities and can manage records effectively at the CSIR. The study proposed a framework on the usability of AI for the improvement of records management activities at the CSIR. It is hoped that the framework proposed will serve as a guideline on the usability of AI for the improvement of records management activities in the archives and records management sector.

The article presents the set of data related to development of museum illumination control standards. The main goal of the review is to demonstrate the balance between illumination adjustment as a means to improve preservation of museum exhibits and adjustment as a means to improve presentation of exhibits to visitors. Such review became necessary due to intensification of activities for development of museum illumination regulations since 2018. As part of these activities, the specialists of two leading organisations – light engineers of the Russian Lighting Research Institute named after S.I. Vavilov (VNISI) and the museum and restoration community of the State Research Institute for Restoration – fulfilled a contract for analysis of museum practice in the sphere of museum illumination. The results of the studies under the contract were reviewed and approved during an extended meeting of the museum illumination commission of the Scientific and Technical Council of the Lighting Industry in the Russian Federation (STC “Svetotekhnika”) with participation of representatives of the museum community. The results of this work were also discussed at a meeting of the scientific council of GosNIIR. In 2020, specialists of VNISI developed four regulations of LED illumination for museums after fulfilling the contract. The article presents a brief description of the potential of these documents for improvement of development of LED museum illumination. It demonstrates limited applicability of the developed standards to actual needs of museums and the mistakes made by the developers, which pose risks for preservation of museum exhibits if these standards are used in practice. The author proposes the ways of further development and improvement of the regulatory framework of museum illumination. These ways and the programme of regulation development were discussed and approved at the meeting of the scientific council of GosNIIR.

Full textAbstract:
Implications of the Industrial Fatigue (later Health) Research Board for the development of British occupational psychology are examined using archival material. The Board arose from research in the Ministry of Munitions during the First World War. From 1921 it was responsible to the Medical Research Council. The Board set up a small scientific committee for Industrial Psychology, of which C. L. Burt, T. H. Pear, C. S. Sherrington and F. C. Bartlett were long-serving members, influencing the funding and evaluation of research. Studies of vocational guidance were encouraged, during the 1920s in conjunction with the National Institute of Industrial Psychology. Other interests included accident proneness, neurosis in industry, rest pauses and noise. Results were published in a series of Government reports. In the 1930s, funded research increasingly emphasised theory and was based in universities, including Bartlett’s Psychological Laboratory at Cambridge. Weakening of links with employers and labour interests after the 1921 re-organization was a less fortunate development.

AbstractFFQ are commonly used to examine the association between diet and disease. They are the most practical method for usual dietary data collection as they are relatively inexpensive and easy to administer. In Australia, the Cancer Council of Victoria FFQ (CCVFFQ) version 2 and the online Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation FFQ (CSIROFFQ) are used. The aim of our study was to establish the level of agreement between nutrient intakes captured using the online CSIROFFQ and the paper-based CCVFFQ. The CCVFFQ and the online CSIROFFQ were completed by 136 healthy participants. FFQ responses were analysed to give g per d intake of a range of nutrients. Agreement between twenty-six nutrient intakes common to both FFQ was measured by a variety of methods. Nutrient intake levels that were significantly correlated between the two FFQ were carbohydrates, total fat, Na and MUFA. When assessing ranking of nutrients into quintiles, on average, 56 % of the participants (for all nutrients) were classified into the same or adjacent quintiles in both FFQ, with the highest percentage agreement for sugar. On average, 21 % of participants were grossly misclassified by three or four quintiles, with the highest percentage misclassification for fibre and Fe. Quintile agreement was similar to that reported by other studies, and we concluded that both FFQ are suitable tools for dividing participants’ nutrient intake levels into high- and low-consumption groups. Use of either FFQ was not appropriate for obtaining accurate estimates of absolute nutrient intakes.

The inefficient collection of solid wastes is a global phenomenon that has received attention in recent years for the ever-increasing annual waste generation records. However, indicators to the effective application of the amassing routs are missing. Hence, the generally accepted source-sorting model was explored to identify the determinants that will enhance source separation of wastes at the workplace. This paper presents a foremost report on the indicators to an effective operation of solid wastes source segregation. A quantitatively examined data was collected in sixty-six working days during a monitoring and evaluation process of twenty sets of twin-dustbins that were located at the study area. The generated solid wastes were commonly sorted (65%) in comparison with the mixed collection. Most of the wastes were separated on the third month (80%) of education compared to the first (54%) and second months (61%). Wednesday displayed the working day with the utmost sorted wastes (73%) compared to the other days. All dustbins recorded impressive sorting at the different locations in the Institute. A little over one thousand Ghana cedis savings was made in the first year. Tested null hypothesis showed that, duration and timing of continuous education were significant determinants of the efficient source segregation, relative to the dustbin locations. Therefore, the daily education of waste generators on how to separate wastes at source and the economic benefits will enhance source separation irrespective of the location.

Full textAbstract:
The problems of mining waste management at industrial enterprises and increasing the economy of production are among the most urgent ones, especially for the Arctic ecosystems, characterized by high sensitivity to external factors and the complexity of recovery. The research was conducted on the example of large industrial corporations directly operating in the Arctic, including PJSC PhosAgro, PJSC MMC Norilsk Nickel, Severstal Resource division of PJSC Severstal and PJSC NOVATEK. The key indicators related to waste management for 20182022 were analyzed. The trend of increasing volumes of mining waste in the Arctic was revealed, while the level of its utilization remained practically unchanged. It is proposed to intensify scientific research in the field of rational use of mining waste and to develop technologies for their processing, taking into account the impact on the Arctic ecosystems. It is suggested to create research and production centers for each industrial enterprise using the experience of the balanced “triple helix” model. It is recommended to actively participate in the Interdepartmental Scientific Council of the Russian Academy of Sciences on the development of the mineral resource base and its rational use, created in 2023, to develop the scientific foundations for the extraction and processing of minerals and accelerate import substitution.

The Centre for Synthetic and Systems Biology ('SynthSys') was originally established in 2007 as the Centre for Integrative Systems Biology, funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). Today, SynthSys embraces an extensive multidisciplinary community of more than 200 researchers from across the University with a common interest in synthetic and systems biology. Our research is broad and deep, addressing a diversity of scientific questions, with wide ranging impact. We bring together the power of synthetic biology and systems approaches to focus on three core thematic areas: industrial biotechnology, agriculture and the environment, and medicine and healthcare. In October 2015, we opened a newly refurbished building as a physical hub for our new U.K. Centre for Mammalian Synthetic Biology funded by the BBSRC/EPSRC/MRC as part of the U.K. Research Councils' Synthetic Biology for Growth programme.

Full textAbstract:
Of the existing in situ stress-measurement techniques, the doorstopper is particularly suited for use in highly stressed zones where core discing may occur. The main reason is that the doorstopper requires a very short intact core length to obtain a valid measurement in comparison with other techniques that use overcoring to perform stress relief, such as borehole-deformation gauges, CSIR (Council for Scientific and Industrial Research), and CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization) gauges. The paper presents stress-measurement results obtained with the modified doorstopper technique in highly stressed granite, at the Underground Research Laboratory (URL) of Atomic Energy of Canada Limited. A brief description of the modified doorstopper technique and of a stress-calculation model that includes the nonlinear anisotropic behaviour found in highly stressed rocks is made. Stress-measurement results obtained at the URL with different techniques are compared with those obtained with the modified doorstopper cell. Key words : doorstopper, high stresses, anisotropy, nonlinear elasticity, core discing.

Full textAbstract:
Charles Henry Brian Priestley was born and educated in England. After completing the Mathematical Tripos at the University of Cambridge, he joined the Meteorological Office in 1939. For the next seven years he was engaged mostly in wartime work, including a two-year spell in Canada (1941–43) and three years with the Meteorological Office upper-air unit at Dunstable, UK (1943–46). In 1946, aged 31 years, he took up an Australian appointment with the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (later to become the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO)) to establish and develop a group to undertake research in meteorological physics. Thereafter he was based in Melbourne, Australia, with his career in the CSIRO extending to 1977. Priestley’s own early research focused on large-scale atmospheric systems, including substantial work on global-scale transport, and later on small-scale atmospheric convection and heat transfer, in which he established some significant results. He had a leading role in the development of the atmospheric sciences in Australia, and was strongly involved in international meteorology.

Full textAbstract:
Elokuussa 1914 syttynyt maailmansota johti tieteen, tekniikan ja sodankäynnin järjestelmien lopulliseen liittoon kaikissa teollistuneissa suurvalloissa. Tieteellis-teknilliset kompleksit organisoitiin yliopistojen, korkeakoulujen ja tutkimuslaitosten varaan. Valtion rahoittamia organisaatioita 1910-luvulla olivat esimerkiksi saksalainen Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft zur Förderung der Wissenschaften e.V., Britannian Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), ja Yhdysvaltojen National Research Council (NRC). Ruotsissa esitettiin vuonna 1916 voima- ja polttoainekysymyksiin perustuvan tutkimuslaitoksen perustamista. Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademin (IVA) perustettiin tarkoitusta varten 24. lokakuuta 1919.
Artikkelissa tarkastellaan suomalaisen tutkimusjärjestelmän muotoutumista maailmansodan ja itsenäistymiskamppailun keskellä. Miksi Suomessa ei luotu vastaavaa tutkimusorganisaatiota kuin Ruotsissa? Lisäksi artikkelissa pohditaan, miten 1910-luvun kriisiaikojen jäljet näkyivät suomalaisen tiedejärjestelmän rakenteissa.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on research activities in selected institutes of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR). The research methodology adopted for this study was the case study approach, specifically multiple cases. This study employed structured questionnaires and semi-structured interviews as a data collection instrument to collect data from respondents in the five selected research institutes of CSIR. The study shows that ICTs have a positive impact on research activities. ICT tools have been proven to be very helpful to researchers and other non-core staff of CSIR in finding needed information quickly and easily, expedition in the research process, improvement in job performance and have also helped in information access, management and communication. The study also identified lack of training in ICT, insufficient computer hardware and suitable software applications, lack of competent Information Technology (IT) professionals, non-existent budgetary allocations for ICT and lack of required Internet bandwidth as the major hindrances faced by the researchers and senior staff in the CSIR. The study recommended improvement in ICT infrastructure, appointment of competent IT personnel and proper training and guidance for optimum utilisation of ICT-based technologies.

Full textAbstract:
Thorburn Brailsford Robertson (1884–1930) was educated in Adelaide and held appointments at the University of California, Berkeley (where he completed his PhD in 1907), and the University of Toronto before taking up his appointment at Adelaide in 1919 as Australia's first Professor of Biochemistry. In his research on the biochemical basis of growth and senescence he discovered in pituitary tissue a growth factor he called Tethelin. He made important contributions to the fabric and collegiality of the University of Adelaide. Amongst his many scientific contributions he was the first person outside Canada to prepare insulin, a project taken up by the Commonwealth Serum Laboratories. In 1927 he became the first Chief of the Division of Animal Nutrition in the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, for whom he investigated sheep nutrition and wool growth.
