. In 2016, the patriotic act «Mangilik El» was implemented, and also in 2017, for the specification of this ideological message by profile nationwide programs, which include the creation of a specialized research center «Sacral Kazakhstan», research and analytical activity began to understand and the definition of objects that could meet the requirements in the nomination - to be sacred objects. The research center «Sacral Kazakhstan», which belongs to state research institutions, has developed lists of sacred objects, which include cultural and historical places of Kazakhstan sanctuary of national and regional significance. In January 2018, SRC «Sacral Kazakhstan» published the first series of books, where the objects were divided into two categories: «The Kazakhstan sacred objects of whole national importance» and «The Kazakhstan sacred objects of regional importance». In the first edition, the nationwide list included 185 objects, using the principle of equal representation from each region; 500 objects that did not pass this selection, but which were also nominated for the nationwide, were added to the regional list. These books are an invaluable information guide to the natural and historical monuments of the native land. In this article, using the example of a nationwide sacred capital object, real practices of pilgrimage to the Muslim cemetery «Karaotkel» will be recorded, as well as schemes of analysis will be studied who is the memory actor of this cemetery, which is included in the list of sacred objects of the city of Astana / Nur- Sultan. This concept of analysis in the future can be approved in research on the dissertation work «The peculiarities of memory transnational routes: cultural geography of Northern Kazakhstan».

Scientific and methodological approaches to the development of experimental land management projects for the organization of the territory of state scientific institutions and enterprises for the production of organic products

The expansion of organic production in Ukraine is in line with global trends in the agricultural sector in the direction of greening of agricultural land use, accompanied by reducing the level of anthropogenic pressure on land resources, ensuring high quality crop products and maintaining a clean environment. The only means of creating spatial conditions for the harmonious functioning of organic land use within the territories of state research institutions and enterprises is the appropriate land management mechanism, which is currently lacking. Therefore, it is important to solve this problem by its creation and implementation in the practice of economic entities. The purpose of this study is to improve scientific and methodological approaches to the development of experimental land management projects for the organization of the territory for the production of organic products within the land use of state research institutions and enterprises. For this purpose the following tasks were solved: analysis of the current state of development of relevant land management projects and their legal support, determination of structural features and placement of relevant elements of the organization of the territory for organic crop production, substantiation of ecological and economic optimization of agricultural land structure and crop rotation.

Developing AHRQ’s Feasibility Assessment Criteria for Wide-Scale Implementation of Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Findings

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's (AHRQ) Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) Initiative identifies and prioritizes PCOR findings that could improve health care if widely implemented. To inform PCOR implementation investments, AHRQ sought to assess feasibility of widely implementing impactful PCOR findings with good strength of evidence in clinical practice. To develop criteria to assess the feasibility of widely implementing nominated PCOR findings. We reviewed literature and interviewed thirteen D&I experts to identify factors affecting feasibility of implementing PCOR findings. We grouped similar factors into themes. Fourteen technical expert panel (TEP) members discussed the face-validity and relative merits of the themes and additional factors, applied themes to fictional case studies, and prioritized themes for assessing feasibility. We developed criteria and guiding questions with a 3-point Likert scale. Seven D&I experts pilot-tested the criteria using sample nominations of PCOR findings. Experts represented diverse views of implementation from federal and state government agencies, research institutions, and quality improvement and advocacy organizations. We developed a set of three essential criteria for AHRQ to assess feasibility of widely implementing PCOR findings to be widely implementable: (1) acceptability to the implementers; (2) generalizability, adaptability, and ease of implementing with fidelity; and (3) alignment with external policies and incentives. Two supplemental criteria, (1) the presence of a plan or toolkit supporting implementation, or (2) evidence supporting implementation outside the research setting, can enhance reviewers' confidence in the intervention's feasibility. Each criterion includes "guiding questions" to parse out specific components that could be more readily assessed. The criteria and guiding questions are a valuable tool for informing AHRQ's investment decisions regarding implementing PCOR findings. Although developed for AHRQ's needs, the criteria may help other funders and health care organizations determine the feasibility of implementing evidence-based practices.

Military integrated environmental management programme of the South African National Defence Force

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to explore the challenges the South African National Defence Force faces in translating existing environmental management programmes into action. The challenge to military forces to protect the environment led the South African National Defence Force to establish a military integrated environmental management programme. This is to ensure that its daily activities do not cause significant harm to the environment. Aligned to this programme, the SANDF formulated six sub-major programmes, namely, environmental research, environmental education and awareness training, cultural resources management, ecological management, base environmental management, and environmental planning. Thus, each military installation of the SANDF must have environmental management programmes aligned to any of these programmes. Evidence of the implementation of such programmes has been identified at the Grahamstown Military Installation (GMI) and South African Army Combat Training Centre (SAACTC). Three environmental programmes were identified at GMI. On the contrary, at SAACTC, seven different environmental management programmes were identified. Accordingly, the SAACTC is a heavy use military installation, wherein military activities are bound to cause significant damage. However, there is no capacity to adequately implement these programmes. Therefore, for the SANDF to realize the benefits of all these programmes, it has to forge collaborations with other state organs, academic and research institutions where skills and knowledge to assist in implementing these programmes are readily available.

Road safety on the example of the city of Bytom

National Road Safety Program 2013-2020 assumes to reduce fatalities by half and seriously injured by 40% from 2010 to 2020. It means that no more than 2,000 people per year should die on Polish roads and no more than 6,900 people should suffer serious injuries in traffic accidents. The experience of other European Union countries with improving road safety gives hope that these goals are still realistic, but there is a need to intensify the activities carried out in this area. In Poland, more and more institutions are taking part in the process of improving road safety: state institutions, non-governmental organizations, local governments, enterprises, scientific and research institutions, the media and many others. The study presents the problem of road safety in the city of Bytom on the basis of its analysis in the years 2013-2017. It discusses the types of road accidents and their classification. Moreover, the paper describes the issues illustrating the situation on roads that have a particular impact on the safety level of road users, among others, the number of road accidents, reasons for their occurrence, the consequences and groups of perpetrators of accidents. It also describes actions and initiatives taken to improve road safety in the city of Bytom.

BUSINESS INCUBATORS IN SERBIA AND THEIR INTERACTION WITH ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTIONS

The purpose of this study is to establish the role of business incubators and their partnership with other economic, state and scientific institutions in Serbia, based on a survey conducted with incubator managers. State institutions and research institutions, as well as universities, are the main partners of business incubators. This cooperation has become a cornerstone of modern Serbian business. To succeed, businesses need to bind to a number of other companies and businesses such as investors, research institutions, economic organizations, local authorities, economic development organizations, and others. The positive effects of creating cluster networks and business incubators are many. Such clustering creates tangible partnerships between start-ups and international companies that support and promote small and medium-sized businesses in Serbia.

DETERMINATION OF THE BEST FUNCTIONAL CHICKPEA CULTIVARS BY TOPSIS TECHNIQUE

Technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) analysis was firstly applied to rank the most suitable registered chickpea cultivars among (12×3=36 samples) alternatives based on their functional properties. Chickpeas were grown in controlled trial fields of state research institutes in Adana (in 2014-2015) and Erzurum (2015) regions which had mild-hot and cold climate conditions, respectively. Total phenolic (TPC) and water-soluble protein (WSPC) contents, free radical scavenging (FRSA) and iron chelating (ICA) activities, and water binding (WBC) and oil binding (OBC) capacities of extracts were determined. Equal weights were assigned for the parameters in TOPSIS application and the distances of each alternative from ideal positive and negative solution points and closeness coefficients were determined. Considerable variations were observed for TPC, FRSA and ICA. The average values of determined parameters in each group (location, year, location and year) were close to each other. Significant low positive correlations were not determined between TPC, FRSA and ICA while any significant correlations were determined between the WSPC, OBC, and WBC (P˂0.05). Aydin cultivar had the highest score for its antioxidant and technical functions (closeness coefficient was 7.02E-01) and followed by Cakir (5.59E-01) and Azkan (4.91E-01). This study showed the suitability of TOPSIS analysis in agriculture and food science area when the sample number was high and many different properties of samples were considered.

The issues of collection acquisition, control and preservation, standards and guidelines, HR, and user information awareness are highlighted.

Measuring Open Access in Finland

In Finland the national Open Access monitoring efforts are integrated with the national data collection conducted by CSC - IT Centre for Science for the Ministry of Education and Culture. The collection of data on research publications encompasses universities, universities of applied sciences, central hospital districts and many of the state research institutes. The publication metadata is collected from the CRIS of each participating organization. A new automated data collection process was launched in 2016, but while some of the organizations update their data daily, many others still upload their data on annual basis. The data is stored in the Virta service built by CSC, and the de-duplicated publication data can be browsed at Juuli ( http://www.juuli.fi ), a VuFind-based discovery interface developed by the National Library of Finland. Starting from 2016, the Ministry has improved the way the OA status information is reported. There are two separate fields for indicating the OA status of each publication. One of the fields indicates whether the publication is OA via a Gold or a Hybrid channel, and the second field is used for indicating whether it has been deposited into a repository (Green OA). The OA definition used in the data collection has been made as clear as possible: The publication should be at least free to read Gold/Hybrid and Green Open Access are all accepted Embargoes are allowed for Green OA but not for Gold or Hybrid Depositing into an institutional or a subject-based repository is OK, but papers available at personal/project websites or at sites like Research Gate or Academia.edu don’t count The OA version must be peer-reviewed to qualify Although the quality of the data has improved, it is still far from perfect. Some of the organizations are putting more effort into the collection and verification of the data than others. At the moment no data is collected on the embargoes, the use of licenses or the APC costs associated with each publication. According to the current dataset for the year 2016, 28.6% of all peer-reviewed articles produced within the Finnish universities were reported as being Open Access. The amount of overlap between Gold/Hybrid and Green Open Access was higher than was expected. Only about 40% of the articles that the universities reported as being openly available via Green route were originally issued in non-OA publication channels. At the moment the share of OA publications is highest within the natural sciences (34%) and lowest in engineering and technology (20%), with medicine and health sciences, agriculture and forestry, humanities and social sciences falling in between them.

THE ROLE OF BELARUS NATIONAL COMMISSION ON RADIATION PROTECTION IN THE MINIMIZATION OF CONSEQUENCES OF THE ACCIDENT AT THE CHERNOBYL NUCLEAR POWER PLANT

The Belarus National Commission on Radiation Protection was established in 1991, based on the former Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic Supreme Council Resolution. The Commission works out recommendations on the radiation protection to submit to the state authorities, state institutions under the Republic of Belarus Government and state research institutions, reviews and assesses scientific data in the field of radiation protection and makes suggestions in regards of the implementation of the achieved developments. The Commission engages leading scientists and practitioners from Belarus, involved in the provision of the radiation protection and safety in the state. The methodological cornerstone for the Commission activities was chosen to be the committment to the worldwide accepted approach of the nature and magnitude of the undertaken protective measures justification in the field of radiation safety. The Commission adheres the ALARA optimization criteria as the core of the aforementioned approach. The Commission has also submited to the Government a number of developments which were crucial in the highest level managerial decisions elaboration. The latter impacted directly the state tactics and strategy in the environmental, health and social consequences of the Chernobyl disaster minimization. Following the recommendations of the international institutions (ICRP, IAEA, UNSCEAR, FAO/WHO), developments of the colleagues in the Russian Federation, Ukraine and the local regional experience, the Commission proceeds with the expert observation of the ongoing protective measures to reduce the radiation impact and population exposure resulted from the Chernobyl accident, is actively occupied in the radiation safety ensuring at the Belarussian nuclear power plant being under construction, much contributes to elaboration of the new version of the state Law “On Radiation Protection of Population” and other regulatory documents.

The role of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the research institutions and universities is becoming increasingly prominent because of the potential value of such technologies. ICTs can be used to increase effectiveness and efficiency of extension system. So, in this era of information revolution, the agricultural extension Scientists should be encouraged to use ICTs for extension education. Therefore, the study on “Factors encouraging ICT usage by Agricultural Extension Scientists in North India” was conducted. Factors encouraging ICT usage were categorized under the headings of economic factors, facilitating factors, social and psychological factors and technical factors. Data for the study were collected from the agricultural extension scientists who work in State Agricultural Universities and research institutes under Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) in North India through the use of a pre-tested on-line questionnaire. Provision of grants to buy ICTs, availability of sufficient number of ICT tools, sufficient ICT familiarity and expertise and in-service training facilitation for using/producing ICTs were observed as serious factors in the effective usage of ICTs. The Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) result showed that in usage of ICT there was a significant difference between economic factors with facilitating factors and social and psychological factors.  Enabling policies and plans for usage of ICTs for dissemination of agricultural information need to be developed.   Key words: Information, communication, technology, usage, agricultural extension scientist.

Chemistry in Israel-at a Crossroads?

Such achievements are the fruits of the inspired and incisive leadership that served as the foundation of the academic world in my country—the manifestations of an early vision that has led to what we have come to know as modern Israel. David Ben-Gurion, undoubtedly one indefatigable agent of progress, as well as the country s inaugural Prime Minister, wrote two years after the creation of the State: “We are a small and poor nation, and our country has suffered neglect and devastation. This imposes a severe austerity upon us, a condition, which may last a long time. Strangely enough, these very facts forbid us austerity in two areas, in science and technology...Only if we were able to use the attainments of scientific and technological developments—can we succeed”.

In-situ immuno-gold nanoparticle network ELISA biosensors for pathogen detection

Food poisoning microorganisms that contaminate food products and compromise food safety and security have been considered a major health threat and a serious concern for food producers and processors. Developing sensor technologies that are rapid for sensitive and selective detection and quantification of pathogens is a high priority for scientists in academia, state and federal research institutes, and industries. In this work we propose an in-situ immuno-AuNP network-based ELISA biosensor integrated with a sample concentration step based on immuno-magnetic separation to detect pathogenic microorganisms with high sensitivity. The sensor system was optimized by the specific formation of immuno-AuNP network onto the antigenic site present at the outer membrane surface of bacteria and the analytical concept was validated by a microtiter immunoassay. The in-situ network biosensor was able to detect pathogens at extremely low numbers: 3cells/mL of Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella typhimurium in buffer and 3CFU/mL of E. coli O157:H7 and 15CFU/mL of S. typhimurium in real sample conditions within 2h of inoculation. The ability to monitor target bacteria with improved analytical sensitivity compared to the current techniques presents a unique opportunity for routine monitoring to improve the safety of foods.

How cumulative risks warrant a shift in our approach to racial health disparities: the case of lead, stress, and hypertension.

Blacks have persistently higher rates of high blood pressure, or hypertension, compared to whites, resulting in higher health costs and mortality rates. Recent research has shown that social and environmental factors-such as high levels of stress and exposure to lead-may explain racial disparities in hypertension. Based on these findings, we recommend a fundamental shift in approaches to health disparities to focus on these sorts of cumulative risks and health effects. Federal and state agencies and research institutions should develop strategic plans to learn more about these connections and apply the broader findings to policies to reduce health disparities.
