G. I. Garetskiy, M. M. Paulyuchenko, M. U. Smoltskiy, and N. V. Turbin, and Correspond-
ing Member of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences, M. M. Ganeharyk were awarded the
title Honored Scientists Belorussian SSR, and Academician of the Belorussian Academy
of Sciences, Ya. R. Kanavalau, and Corresponding Member of the Belorussian Academy of
Sciences P. A. Yashcharytsyn received the title Honored Scientist and Technologist
Belorussian SSR.
After this the President touched upon the most important works carried out by
scientific institutions of the Academy in 1972....
In conclusion M. A. Barysevich noted that since many Academy institutes had become
great scientific centers and had obtained the necessary experimental and production
ease; the effectiveness of their activity in the realization of fundamental research
is still low. The number of proposals for introducing results of their research is
small, and often these proposals are minor with little effect on production processes.
The immediate task of institutes is to work so that no practically important completed
research work would not be implemented.

M. A. Barysevich gave the floor to Chief Scientific Secretary of the Presidium of
Belorussian Academy of Sciences Corresponding Member of the Belorussian Academy of
Sciences A. S. Dzmitryyeu report on scientific and scientific-organizational activity
of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences in 1972.
In his report A. S. Dzmitryyeu analyzed activities of divisions and scientific
institutions with regard to practical utilization of results of scientific research and
scientific-organizational work of the Academy, paying particular attention to the
Academy's work on organizing and coordinating scientific research in the Republic, and
to funding (financing, capita]. construction, material-technical maintenance, strengthen-
ing research and design base, etc.). He dwelt on shortcomings which impede the ful-
fillment of executive organ decisions regarding acceleration of scientific-technical
progress.
In 1972 scientific institutions of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences elaborated
336 themes in 102 problems of natural history and social sciences. The work relating

to 57 themes has been completed. Also the Belorussian Academy of Sciences participated
in the elaboration of 42 scientific-technical problems. Within the framework of these
problems the elaboration of 14 themes was completed....
However, the economic effect that benefited the national economy of the country
from the introduction of scientific research results of institutions of the Belorussian
Academy of Sciences amounted to only 6,300,000 rubles. The speaker analyzed the causes
of this low effect.
The effective form of the relationship between scientific institutions and enter-
prises is the execution of works based on economic agreements. In 1972 their volume
amounted to 12.4 million rubles, 1.8 million rubles more than in 1971. On the basis
of economic agreements 299 themes were researched and the results were turned over to
customers.
In the reported year scientific institutions of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences
submitted to the Committee for Inventions and Discoveries of the Council of Ministers

tained, 72 patents more than in 1971....
In 1972 associates of the Academy worked out and published a number of important
monographs, thematic collections, and scientific papers. The publishing house "Nave.::,
i Tekhnika" [Science and Technology] was mainly responsible for the printed productio;
Tt published 236 items (152 books and booklets, and 34 periodical publications),
amounting to 3080.2 printed sheets of 507,300 copies. In scientific periodicals and
collections scientists of the Academy published about 3,000 scientific articles rela-
tive to various directions of modern science.
In the period under review scientific institutions of the Belorussian Academy of
Sciences planned and conducted 8 all-union and 5 republic conferences and meetings
and 2 all-union schools. They included the 6th All-Union Conference on Nonlinear
Optics, the 6th All Union Meeting on Heat and Mass Exchange, the 3rd All-Union Conference

1 The plan for funding scientific research work in 1972 was fulfilled by 114.3%.
The excess expenditure was compensated by the above-plan production realized through
economic agreements. Appropriations for capital investments amounted to 92%, including
those for construction and assembly works amounting to 98%.
The growth of material resources in 1972 amounted to 4%. The amount of uninstalled
equipment was considerably reduced.

Excerpts; The economic and social reforms which took place in Belorussia during the
years of zooiet rule created favorable conditions for successful development of all
sectors of the national economy, science, culture, and education and made it possible
to solve the problem of protecting workers' health -- one of the most important social
problems....
At present Belorussian public health is an inseparable part of the orderly public
health system of the entire country. For example, hundreds of Belorussian physicians
and secondary medical workers partiei,?,ated in the development of virgin and long-
fallow land in Kazakhstan and other republics. Many Belorussian physicians .corked
selflessly to study foci of especially dangerous infections beyond the republic's
borders and participated in aiding underdeveloped countries in many regions throughout
the world, and continue to do so. Prof I. N. Usov's activity in children's clinics
in India was highly evaluated. Prof P. T. Lobko, assistants L. YP. Kotovich, F. P.

membered with gratitude in Mali, Cuba, and Algiers....
Especially great help was given to Belorussian public health in re:tcring public
health institutions after the Great Patriotic War. The prewar public health network
was restored as early as 1948, and outbreaks of typhus, dysentery, venereal diseases,
and malaria were ended earlier. During the 25 p''stwar years 64 rayon hospitals or
individual buildings for them and 47 polycllnics xere built, and rayon hospitals were
consolidated from 62 beds in 1950 to 165 buds in 1970. The following large oblast hospi-
tals were built: the Grodnenskaya Oblast Hospital for 750 beds, the Mogilevskaya Oblast
Hospital for 930 beds, and the first stage of the republic hospital for 400 beds. The
capacity of the oblast hospitals increased from 341 to 573 beds. Oblast hospitals ecre

The consolidation of rayon, city, and oblast hospitals made it possible to solve
the basic problems of organizing specialized help. For example, dur'ng, 1950-1970 the
number of neurological beds increased almost four times, eye disease beds three times,

otorhinolaryngologioal beds four times, urologioal beds seven times, and orthopedic-
t:!aurnatological beds 15 times. Departments for neurosurgery, urology, children's
surgery, burns and reanimation, and pathology of the 'newborn were opened in all oblast
0oupitala. The therapeutic service underwent a considerable specialization.
I The 5 July 1968 decree of the CPSU Central Committee and the Council of Ministers
USSR determined the ways of further improving public health and medical science. It
became the program of public health for the next 10-15 years. The decree formulated
much higher requirements for developing speoia7,ized medical help and its maximum close-
ness to she public, raising the level and standard of medical services in all public
health units, strengthening the sanitary well being, and raining the sanitary standard.
In light:of the fulfillment of the tasks formulated in the decree significant work
is being done in the republic. Three 500-bed hospitals for mental patients are being
built. They are to be followed by the educational complex of the Minsk Medical Insti-
tute, the Minsk and Vitebsk 1,000-bed hospitals, and a 800-bed first aid hospital in
Minsk. Two 420-bed hospitals for restorative therapy and a 400-bed oncological hospital
are to be built in the future.

In Hirst a modern center for children's su:;ery was established and vascular,
proctological. ;7epatological, nephrological, gastroenterological, pulmonological, and
other highly specialized departments were opened. More than 20 specialized departments,
.including cardiological, pulmonological, gastroenterological, nephrological, burn, and
re,n?.ae.tion departments, were opened in the newly built Mogilevskaya Oblast Hospital,
The same high level of specialization is also planned in the Brestskaya and Oomellskaya
oblast hospitals.
A wide program to develop specialized aid to mothers and children has been started.
For example, I-,' specialized departments and offices for treating children and 28 for
treating women including departments for the pathology of the newborn and for injured,
newL.orn babies in every eblast, are to be opened in '-971-1975-
Much attention is given to the development of outpatient polyclinic aid as the
most popul;!r and closest to the gublio. Instead of the small prerevolutionary and pre-
war outpatient clinics where ane or two physicians worked, large polyclinics with all
the auxiliary services were established. A total of 65'! rayon and city pol cliraii:b and
797 rural outpatient clinics operated in Belorussia in 1971. Outpatient treatment in
10-11 specialties was organized in 58 rayon polyclinics of oeriral rayon hospitals,

12 specialties and more in 24 rayon polyclinics, and 8-9 specialties in 26 rayon poly-..
clinics. Medical sections were further subdivided and now they service an average of
4,000 inhabitants in an urban area and 5,000 inha'itants in a rural area. The service
radius in rural areas was lowered to 8 km.
The organization of a wide network of outpatient-polyclinic institutions contributed
to the dissemination of the preventive principles of Soviet public health in Belorussia.
In 1970 alone periodic preventive examinations covered 3.5 million inhabitants (38.5%),
tuberculosis examinations 6.2 million inhabitants (68.6%), and examinations for malig-
nant growths 4.4 million inhabitants (48.6%). The widely organized work on a sharp
decline in the incidence of tuberoulosis in a number of rayons confirmed the "con-
trollability" or this infection. From ''.960 through 1970 the general decline in the
incidence of tuberculosis was 27.7% and in the deathrate 53.46 and the number of indi-
vidualri actively detected during examinations increased from 30.1 to 51.3%. Similar
work iei being done on an early detection of malignant growths.
The structural integr'.ty of cities and villages improves every year. In 1970 as
compared, with 1550 the r;.nmber of cities with a well-planned water supply system

increased 14.5 times, and sewage system 11 times. During the last 20 years the length
of water supply networks increased six times and sewage networks seven times. More
than 200,000 wells were built in rural areas and .,316 public bath houses were built in
10 years.' Experimental construction of housing with a full set of municipal conveniences
has began in man;lr of the republic's rural areas. The public takes an active part in
the improvements made in rural areas. The Rogachev population movement for a structural
j.ntegrity and sasnitary standard of settlements, widely known before the Patriotic war,
was revived. Many of the republic's regions have already followed the example of the
residents of ycgachev.
Medical sci.ence plays an ever more perceptible part in solving the most important
preblass of public health. More than 1,500 scientific and pedagogical workers, in-
cluding 93 doctors and 794 candidates, pow work in the republic's scientific research
a:1d medical institutes. The republic consultation centqr which gives consultation aid
to patient from all oblasts was established through the efforts of highly skilled
scientists....
In the last few years dozens of doctors and hundreds of candidates of sciences
have been trained, making it possible to staff the leading institutions with highly

skilled personnel. Scientists are successfully working out such complex problems as
organ e,', tissue transplants cybernetics in medicine, prevention of cerebral ischemia,
hyperthermia in cancer therapy, development of new nerve tracks in internal organs,
blood conservation, etc.
The government and the Central Committee of the republic Communist Party highly
evaluated the work of Belorussian physicians and scientists. For services in the de-
velopment of public health and medical science four physicians received the title of
Hero of Socialist Labor, 442 the title Honored Physician Belorussian SSR, and 30 the
title of Honored Public Health Worker instituted by the Supreme Soviet Belorussian SSR
in 1971. Thousands of physicians and medium-level medical workers were awarded orders
and medals and 3,753 the badge of Excellent Public Health Worker. A total of 2,716
medical workers were elected deputies to councils of workers' dieputies and three of
tthem are deputics of the Supreme Soviet Belorussian SSR, and nine medical scientists
were elected to the Academy of Medical Sciences USSR and the Academy of Sciences Belo-
russian SSR.
The further development of Belorussia's public health has a firm economic basis in
the form of annually growing allocations. Whereas in 1940 there were 1:? rubles per

inhabitant and in 1960, 16 rubles 41 kopecks, in 1971 there were 34 rubles 21 kopecks.
The allocations for capital construction increased from 53.3 million rubles in 1965-1970
to 124 million rubles in 1971-1975. The 1971 public health budget was equal to 307.3
million rubles.
The firm economic basis of Belorussia's public health and the firm bonds of fraternal
friendship among Belorussia's nations with our country's other nations are reliable
guarantees for the further successful development of public health in our republic.

"Are Interns Necessary for a City?"
Kishinev, Sovetskaya Moldaviya, 12 Aug 73, p 4
Translation: The Kishinev Medical Institute was one of the first higher educational
institutions of our country to which in accordance with a decision of the Central
Committee CPSU and the Council of Ministers USSR on Measures for Further Improvement
of Public Health," the internship was introduced as a hig;ier form of the specialization
of medical cadres.
First I must speak of the essence of the problem itself. It concerns the level of
the training of young physicians. On the face of it this is a local problem. Patients
are not interested in the methods of training attending physicians. All they want is
that physicians be really able to treat them. Nevertheless we ought to consider this
particular problem on a broader scale, so to say from a utilitarian and purely practi-
oal standpoint...
'...Each year the Medical Institute graduates four hundred to six hundred physicians.
While receiving diplomas they do not, however, acquire rights to independent medical

practice. Many years' experience convincingly shows that at least one year of purpose-
ful specialization is needed for a young physician to acquire the necessary practice,
consolidate theoretical knowledge, assimilate experience of senior colleagues, and to
build on foundations laid by his academic training the first story of his practical
skill. That is the whole point of the internship.
As has been said, 400 ..o 600 students graduate from a medical school. This means
that the same number of young physicians must every year undergo specialization.
Where? In the best therapeutic-prophylactic institutions of the Republic. But why?
it is quite clear that internship requires a good material base and highly experienced
specialists capable of properly guiding the youth. Surely vuoh conditi;.na are not
found everywhere. That is why in selecting bases for specialization the Ministry of
Health and the Medical Institute had to choose Kishinev, Bei'tsy, Tiraspol, Bendery,
and a few more rayon centers. It was there that one had to organize specialization,
that is to train new physicians not so much for oneself as for others.
Naturally we are absolutely opposed to a seniority method of approach. We are for
the common cause. Nevertheless, when it had become clear that to go through the intern-
ship, a hospital as such, even the best organized, is not at all sufficient, that the

intern is in need of a supervisor of the highest professional skill, such as chief
physician or head of the department, who as is well known are already overwhelmed with
work, and when it had also become clear that one must organize for the intern his
elementary life, from nutrition to housing, then even the highest consciousness )egan
to be invaded with doubts: is a city really in need of an intern who tomorrow will
become someone else's physician?
Surely internship is a troublesome matter. And the Medical Institute experienced
it in full measure....
It began with transitcry period, one of search and elaboration of elementary or-
ganization. This was followed by a stage of consolidation. At present, according to
the organizer of the internship, Docent Vasiliy Qrigoi'yevich Sokol, it is time to
bring the matter of specialization of young physicians in close correspondence with
certain sf;andards.

"Certainly, there are. For example, the experience of physicians of Belitsy. I
would call it the Bel'tsy approach to this matter."
...From the viewpoint of a public health material base Bel'tsy has certainly many
important advantages. There is a republic multilane hospital and several other special-
ized medical institutions. In Bel'tny was formed a considerable number of highly
qualified medical specialists, including quite a few candidates of medical sciences
and physicians of higher and first class. But the Be)Itey physicians have also their
problems. The let-ding physicians, for example, perform functions of chief specialists
for the northern region of the Republic. Thgy conduct consultations in rayons, leave
town for emergency operations, and actively help their rural colleagues. At the same
time these leading specialists were supposed to assume all the burden of painstaking
work with interns.
The Bel'tsy City Department of Public Health has shown both tactfulness. persistence,
and thorough understanding of importance of the matter. The City Department of Public
Health has become a real ally of the Medical Institute, having mobilized for the cause
of internship its best therapeutic institutions and its best forces.

The (pity Maternity Home is one of the basic institutions for internship, where
young physicians specialize in obstet.?ies and gynecology. The problems of everyday life
of interns and organization of their training have been solved here in the best interests
of the young physicians. First the question of where the interns should live -- in
city boarding houses or at the hospital?
"Only at the hospital," says convincingly Chief Physician Semen Vasil'yevieh ouranda.
"Pathology does not arise to order. And each rare case should become an instruction
for the young physician..."
At the hospital pressure was applied to administrative services, and two rooms
were secured and turned into a cozy and comfortable living place. In these rooms a
special signalization system was installed. One signal, announces the beginning of a
complicated operation and thus summons interns to the operating room. The second sig-
nal announces a rare case in surgical practice and requires the presence of all interns
at the operation.
Physician-interns are full and equal members of the collective. They operate,
assist, study according to individual programs, and take part in the social routine.

BELEN'KIY, B., Sovetskaya Moldaviya, 12 Aug 73, p 4
During all these years about forty young physicians have completed their speciali-
zation here. Many of them, while working in rural district hospitals, even now maintain
contact with the Institute and with their instructors during internship. They call in
person, speak over the telephone, seek advice, and share their thoughts.
The "Bel'tsy approach" is not only a very we'll-organized training or young physicians
with use of city bases. It is also a close contact with the departments of the Medical
Institute, it is a high responsibility for the fate of young physicians, and finally
it is a real care for their welfare.
The City Department of Public Health alone could certainly not solve all these
problems. The problem of accommodation of interns was taken care of by the city Execu-
tive Committee. Negotiations with managers of the Meat Kombinat, vocational-technical
schools, and other organizations having at their disposal large boarding houses, followed
the spirit of mutual understanding and brought about concrete results. Later a special
decision was taken. From now on the problem of the accommodation of interns practically
does not exist; the young physicians have been allotted permanent accommodations.

However this solution is considered by the City Executive Committee as a temporary
one. The construction of a new hospital block of buildings is being linked with the
construction of a special living unit for interns and the creation of a City Scientific
Medical Library.
"The internship," it is stated by the Executive Committee, "is a common concern,
And all its pr'blems should be solved conjointly."
I asked how many out of seventy physicians that specialize each year at the City
hospitals remain at Del'tsy. The answer was: "the number varies each year. Sometimes
three or four, and sometimes, not a single one..."
So, does the city need interns?
The Bel'tsy administrators through all their actions are answering this question
categorically and affirmatively.

Abstract: Until 1970 no offices for rationalization and inventions existed within the
framework of scientific research institutes of the RSFSR, and all patent and license
work was carried out only episodically by workers of these institutions. The number of
inventions in medical technology, development of new medicinal preparations, methods
of diagnosis, treatment and prophylaxis of diseases averaged in the RSFSR less than 1
invention and 2.5 rationalization proposals per institute.
A new phase in this important direction began with the creation of the Main Admini-
tration of Scientific Research Institutes and Coordination of Scientific Research at the
Ministry of Health RSFSR, with a special Department of Invention and Patent-License

obligatory patent-oriented study of all patent-susceptible subjects; timely elicitation
of works performed at the level of invention, and export official subs k.antiat ion of
applications to the Committee for Inventions and Discoveries; inadmissiblity of leak-
ing information about supposed inventions or discoveries; evaluation of results of
scientific activity of executors of projects according to the number of inventions
put into operation; obligatory payment of author's rewards for inventions and prizes
for cooperation in their putting into use. As a consequence of measures taken by the
Main Administration, Offices for Rationalization and Inventions were created in almost
all scientific research and medical institutes and have already produced tangible results.

Abstract: During the past Five-Year Plan 114 large polyclinics were built in Moscow,
and now 80 percont of all Moscow public health institutions are housed in special
buildings. A typical polyclinic will have a capacity of 1,800 visits a day for
adults and 1,200 visits for children. It will have up to 20 multiline therapeutic and
diagnostic rooms equipped with ultramodern diagnostic and prehospital therapeutic
facilities.
Prophylaxis is the watchword of the Soviet public health services, and therefore
great importance is attached to early diagnosis. Special diagnostic centers have been
already created in ten Moscow rayons, and are staffed with highly skilled specialists
and equipped with the most sophisticated apparatus. Beside their practical value,
these centers are of didactic importance for teaching and training physicians. follow-

are being created for individual specialties. The material base and organization o^
first aid is being pi'rected; first and emergency aid are being unified and an emer-
zency children's prohospital aid has been organized.
In the future all the city hospitals will be multiline. Since the multiline treat-
ment can be provided only in large hospitals, the building of hospitals for 1.000 and
more beds is being planned. So far 35 hospitals have been converter to multiline units
with 900 beds or more. Large specialized subdivisions with no less than 120 beds are
being organized within large hospitals. They already encompass 17 specialties. gastro-
intestinal diseases of noninfectious character are given serious attention. Recently
the Scientific Research Institute of Gastroenterology was subordinated to the Moscow
City Executive Committee. Its number of beds will be increased from 120 to 600.
The automation of hospitalization using electronic technology is being planned and
will be introduced in the near future. The therapeutic-prophylactic institutions of
Moscow will have bilateral selective communication, dictaphone centers, automated bio-
chemical laboratories, and the analysis of medical data will be done by computers.

pletion of research. A form of the thematical plan has been recommended which would
envisaZ;c, in addition the the expected results of :--e work, a brief characterization of
topics to :;e worked out in the current year.
The first thematic plan examined was that of the scientific research work of the
Siberian Scientific Research Institute of Agricultural Economy, worked out on the basis
of the State and departmental coordination plans. It consists of 9 themes and 29
suthuivisions comprising basic problems in agricultural economy. The plan envisages
carrying out research in the rational distribution and long-term development of agri-
cultural production, improving systems. of agricultural economy management, rationally
utilizing land reserves, increasing the effectiveness of capital investments, working
out the scientific organization of labor, and a number of other problems.
The Siberian Scientific Research Institute of the Mechanization and Electrification
of Agriculture is to perform a large volume of work. In particular, the Institute will
continue to work out recommendations on promising systems of machines and mechanized
equipment and will carry on research connected with the creation of an Information-

Computer-System of Agricultural Production Control (IVSUSKhP). A number of themes are
devoted to the search for methods of rational exploitation of machine-and-tractor fleets
of kolkhoses and sovkhozes, diagnosis and reliability of agricultural equipment, and
to problems of the electrification of agricultural production.
The thematic plan of the Siberian Scientific Research and Design Technological
Institute of Animal Husbandry includes 22 themes and 92 subdivisions. The Institute
is engaged in elaborating industrial technologies of the production of animal husbandry
items on large livestock farms, realizing the improvement of existing and development
of new high-productive breeds of agricultural animals, carrying oivt research on silage
technology and feed preservation, and working out recommendations on the creation and
utilization of irrigated pasture grounds in the steppe and forest-steppe zones of
Siberia.
Scientific workers of SibNIICKh [Siberian Scientific Research Instr.tute of Agri-
culture] will have to solve a wide range of problems. Along with the selection of
agricultural crops and work in the domain of agriculture, the Institute will realize
the improvement of ways to better natural pasture lands, development of technology of

Thematic plans of the Siberian Scientific Research Institute of Chemistry, the
Siberian Scientific Research institute of Feeds, the All-Union Scientific Research
Institute of Soya, and the Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture of the Far
East have been considerably improved as compared with last year. In their improvement
the remarks and wishes expressed at the meetings of the Presidium were taken into

"Belorussian Zoologists otiudy Aquatic Animal Ecology"

Translation: Pontoporea, Gammarus, Polyartemia, Daphnia magna... For the uninitiated
these words sound somewhat enigmatic. But they are the names of small crustaceans in
many water bodies. And although there is a kinship of long standing between this small
lacustrine fry, their habitats are, as a rule, very different, ranging from a compara-
tively moderate climate of Belorussia to the inclement extreme north and the cloud-
enshrouded tableland... Their story was told to me at the Division of Zoology and
Parasitology of the Beloruss'an Academy of Sciences where I came to meet the members
of a scientific expedition that visited the 69th parallel.
This parallel passes through Taimyr, an uninhabited country with numerous, some-
times still unnamed, water bodies. The Minsk scientists visited it for the first time.
Their tents were pitched on the plateau of Putoran in a completely deserted place.
All around, for hundreds of kilometers, there was not a single man, and a stone's

Conditions of work were not easy. Dressed in tarpaulin overalls and hip boots,
and protected against mosquitoes by dense face nets, five members of the group spent
69 days first on the shore of the Sobach'ye Lake and then by Alysel' Lake in the ar.a
of Dudinka, which was also the subject of research but had no name. The Minsk scientists
have named it Model'nyy.
For more than two months Belorussian biologists studied regularities of the growth,
development, and propagation of aquatic animals of those species that they had earlier
encountered in Belorussia.
Another expedition of Minsk scientists from the Division of Zoology, headed by
Candidate of Biol?~gical Sciences 0. A. Oalkovskaya, carried out the same work under
different conditions on the numerous water bodies of the mountain districts of Kazakhstan
and Kirgizia, on the Trans-Ili Ala-tau, on the Northern and Central Tien-Shan.
The present year [1973] was for zoologists abounding in expeditions. Two more
scientific units were out for 40-45 days in Karelia and Murmanakaya Oblast. One of
these units operated in the Trans-Onega region and the other near the White Sea on

The results of the work of four expeditions were summed up by Head of the Division
of Zoology and Parasitology of the Belorussian Academy of Sciences and Corresponding
Member of the Academy L. M. Sushchen'ya.
"A stable temperature is seldom found in, nature. And its fluctuations naturally
affect the ecological system of water bodies.
"The expeditions were organized by a new Laboratory of Experimental Aquatic
Animal Ecology. In the same way, for example, as it is important to know the sum of
heat necessary for the development of the hen's egg and an animal's fetus, we need
information on the temperature necessary for the growth of the fish and crustaceans in
question'. All these expeditions from Minsk were solving problems connected with the
action of temperatures under specific conditions of various geographical zones.

"Krill -- a Valuable Food Source From the Ocean"
Minsk, Sovetskaya Belorussiya, 4 Nov 73, p 4
Translation: The paste "Ocean," an alimentary product rich in full-value proteins,
has been obtained for the first time in the world from krill (a small Antarctic
shrimp) b;,r the All-Union Scientific Research Institute of Fishing and Oceanography
(VNIRO). This fact is commented upon in an interview with the head of the Laboratory
of Invertebrate Technology, Candidate of Technical Sciences, and laureC-:e of the State
Prize USSR, L. L. Lagunov.
Question: Lev L'vovich, what causes the present interest in krill?
Answer: The ocean as a source of nutrition is so far used rather insufficiently.
Thus the world-wide catch of fish now amounts to 70 million tons per annum. In the
opinion of Soviet and foreign scientists this figure may be increased to 100-110
million tons. The ocean may also yield a similar amount of krill.

KOROLEVA, I., Sovetskaya Helorussiya, 4 Nov 73, p 4
Oceans give many things to man, but they also require a careful attitude toward
them. In order to preserve traditional species of fishes it is necessary to limit
the catch and shift our attention to the increrMoed extraction of non-fish items, viz.,
invertebrates, mollusks, algae, and krill. This is one of the reserves :r)rmitting the
reproduction of ocean riches.
Question: How is the krill Baste prepared?
Answer: The fishing vessels put out to sea in November and return in May. Tho
fishing period itself lasts only three months. In order to preserve the paste, a very
delicate product, it is necessary to process the raw material at sea.
Our Institute developed a special trawl net for fishing krill, created equipment
,to produce the paste, and selected the necessary temperature conditions to preserve it.
The reddish crustaceans brought on board are placed in a large bunker. They are kept
there no longer than four hours. Tien the krill is pressed. The creamlike mass is
treated with hot steam, after which it assumes the form of vividly pink curds. Then
it is frozen. Finally briquettes of paste, carefully wrapped in cellophane, are packei
in boxes. The "Ocean" paste can be preserved for an entire year at the temperature of'

minus 18?C. The pulp (shells, etc.) is also not wasted. From it a feed meal is pre-
pared. The paste itself contains 15-18 percent protein, 2-5 percent fat, and 2-3 per-
cent mineral substances.
Question: What products are made from this paste?
Answer: The Association "Moloko" [Milk] of the Ministry of Meat and Dairy Industry
USSR has organized industrial production of t}:e processed cheese "Korall" with krill.
The Adler Fish Processing Plant produces "shrimp butter" (the "Ocean" paste combined with
creamery butter and cheese), and "salad mass" (krill with mayonnaise). The Moscow Fish
Processing Combine produces fish t:-at is stuffed with krill.
We should note that the inclusion ii, alimentary rations of this kind of products
regulates protein and fat metabolism in the organism. With its amino-acid composition
the protein of the krill paste competes with egg protein, chicken meat, lnbster, and
shrimp.

"Mysteries of Meteorites"
Moscow, Izvestiya, 17 Nov 73, p 6
Translation: Many guesses and hypotheses have marked the history of studying the
origin of meteorites and their fall to earth. Now students of magnetic phenomena have
moved into this field of study.
One of these scientisto, a senior scientific associate of the Leningrad Division
of the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, the Ionosphere and the Propagation of Radio
Waves of the USSR Academy of Sciences, is Ye. Gus1kova, author of the recent "Magnetic
Properties of Meteorites."
Where have not Yelena Grigorlyevna and her colleagues traveled in the past few
years, studying the magnetic properties of meteorites preserved at Moscow, Leningrad,
Kiev, Tallin, Tartu, Sverdlovsk, Kazan' Odessa, Lvov? They have studied samples of
the meteorite rain which in 1947 fell in the foothills of the Sikhote-Alin' Range in
Primorskiy Kray. All this research has been directed toward discovering what physical
conditions existed at the time of formation of the progenitors of meteoritic bodies.

VIKTOROV, A., Izvestiya, 17 Nov 73. p 6
Of particular interest is the month-long scientific mission carried out by Ye.
Gus'kova in cooperation with the Leningrad magnitdlogist E. Gorshkov in India. Working
with the Indian Institute of Geophysical Research, these Soviet scientists studied one
of the largest meteorite collections in the world -- that at Calcutta.
"We were able to obtain valuable data on, the physical conditions attending the
birth of meteorites and on the properties of those bodies," Ye. Gus'kova informed us.
..Then we studied one of the sixty oldest craters on the face of the earth, located
near Bombey. This crater is two kilometers in diameter and more than 100 meters deep,
with a lake in the center; the crater is comparatively well-preserved. It was our aim
to establish the natural characteristics of this geological formation. We collected
almost 100 samples of basalt, whose magnetic properties we tested in the laboratory.
We were able to reach a conclusion regarding the meteorite itself, but not the volcanic
material of the crater formed more than a billion years ago."
Now a new stage in studying the magnetic properties of meteors has begun. Modern
equipment has opened new possibilities in this field (the study of stone meteors).
These bodies are of interest nince they are the progenitors of the so-called protoplanet,
or cloud, from which, in the view of scientists, were formed all planets o.' the solar
system.

"A Need for Better Coordination of the Activities of Scientific Research Institutes"
Moscow, Pravda, 6 Oct 73, p 2
Abstract: The State Committee for Construction of the Council of Ministers USSR,
[Qosstroy] has made the laboratories of leading scientific research institutes re-
sponsible for coordination of the work carried out by various organizations. The
practice shows, however, that this is not the best solution. The workers of such
laboratories care first for their own elaborations and are not always objective regard-
ing the ideas developed by other institutes. This decreases the effec`iveness of scien-
tific research, causes damage to the national economy, and adversely affects creative
activity of the institutes "under wardship."
There is no definite system for research methods and practical realization of elab-
orations and no unified work plans based on a single procedure, obligatory for all the
participants. As a consequence, each institute uses its own approach toward research
and its own terminology to describe the same phenomena. The results are disparate,

POLAK, A., Pravda, 6 Oct 73, p 2
offer no integrated solutions of problems under consideration, and delays implementa-
tion. Several well-substantiated examples of noncoordination are quoted. In some
cases delay amounted to one year. The interdepartmental commissions of 4osstroy for
particular problems work only periodically and, as experience showed, cannot play an
operational role.
The author suggests that the leading institutes should become not only formally but
in fact the fullfledged coordination centers. For solving important complex problems,
in which a number of organizations participate, the efforts of researchers should be
Wnited by a single over-all plan using a single approach and method. In drawing up
such plans and in the discussion of results achieved, the representatives of all organi-
zations involved should participate. It is also desirable that the representatives of
design organizations should play an active role in the coordination work and thus
learn what novelties should be introduced into the projects. The participation is also
necessary of the representatives of corresponding ministries, main administrations, and
construction trusts responsible for experimental, 'experimental -industrial, and demon-
strative introduction of results which can be used for the establishment of the new
normalized specifications.

"A Spa in the Ob' River Area?"
Moscow, Izvestiya, 18 Sep 73, p 5
Translation: There is a wealth of natural resources in the Ob' River area around Tomsk.
There have been discoveries of large deposits of oil and gas, iron ore, quartz sands,
and porcelain clay. Forestry, wood products, precision instrument-building, and the
electrical engineering industries are developing rapidly. The youngest sector' of
Siberian industry, petroleum extraction, is gaining strength. New railroads and the
large Alekzandrovkoye-Tomsk-Anzhero-Sudzhensk pipeline have recently been put into
operation.
The swift development of productive forces has led to population growth, especially
in the northern regions of the Ob'. As is known, the climate in our region is very se-
vere. It is therefore especially important to protect the health of those who are open-
ing up the taiga area.

There is still not a single spa or sanitarium in Tomskaya Oblast. Siberians
must be treated in remote southern spas. This not only entails expenses for social
insurance and sizable losses of time, but also sometimes has an unfavorable effect on
people's health. It is not always good to experience a change of :;limates. Many
people need sanitarium treatment right on the spot.
The earth of our Oblast is rich in diverse mineral waters, all of high quality.
The reserves are such that these life-giving sources could support the operation of many
sanatariums and water treatment spots.
The first radioactive waters have been found. The most promising of these are the
springs near the village Zavarzino. They have been studied by associates of the Tomsk
Polytechnical Institute and the Tomsk Scientific Research Institute of Health Resort
Science and by a geological expedition.
Valuable underground mineral water sources have been discovered at many places in

springs in Kolnashevskiy, Aleksandrovskiy, Verkheketskiy, Kozhevnikovskiy, and Tomskiy
Rayons. Here it is possible to open clinios and spas similar.to those at Maykop,
Aat'ohik, Karacha, and Kopetdag and to easily organize the large scale extraction of
mineral waters and ensure their availability to the population.
There are also good prospects for the iodine, boron and siliceous waters of
Aleksandrovskiy rayon, an area of intensive development of the petroleum extraction
industry. Here, a few kilometers from the Strezhevoy petroleum center of Tomskaya
Oblast sodium-chloride thermal waters have been brought to the surface. The wells
produce up to 1,200 cubic meters daily, quite enough to su,~port the operation of a
Large clinic. There is also peat mud, a very valuable curative agent w4ioh can be
heated by the thermal waters. The curative springs of Strezhevoy could well serve
the petroleum workers of Samotlar, Siberia's largest deposit of the black gold.
Not far from the northern city of Kolpashev on the Ob', near the village of
Chazhemto, there is a remarkable possibility of creating sort of a Matsesta (spa in
the Caucasus) for Tomskaya Oblast. Using hydrogen sulfide waters which are rare for
Western Siberia one could, in the opinion of many specialists, develop a large spa for
Siberia.

Sodium-chloride thermal waters are located in a sizable part of the Oblast's
territory. The presence of iodine and bromine in these waters expands the range of
their utilization. Bromine normalizes the activity of the nervous system, helps elimi-
nate disease symptoms in the intestine, and restores the functions of the liver and
the gall bladder. Iodine is useful for treating inflammations. In general, the Tomsk
waters and mud could find widespread applications in treating cardiovascular, nervous,
stomach, intestine, skin, and other diseases.

the radioactive springs have long been known, their size has not been accurately deter-

However, specialists, on the basis of data on the geological structure of the southern
section of the Oblast, state that deep drilling might locate hotter radioactive waters.
Strange as it may seem, the Central Scientific Research Institute of Health Resort
Science and Physiotherapy of the Ministry of Health USSR was against this request.

SVi::n approached by the Ministry of Geology RSFSR, the. directors of this Institute
answered that "As previously, the Institute feels that it is inadvisable to carry out
new exploratory survey work on the Zabarzino deposit of radon waters." The reason is
the low water temperature and the presence of other promising deposits in nearby regions
of Siberia.
The response of the Institute looks quite like simple a formalized reply. The
Tomsk workers want to drill a deep well in order to find. hot radon water. As far as
concerns the reference to the initial development of other promising deposits, the
Institute has made no steps to do this in Tomskaya Oblast.
Five years ago the Executive Committee of the Oblast Council of Workers' Deputies
,and the Presidium of the Oblast Council of Trade Unions passed a joint decree on the
development of sanatoriums in the Oblast. It suggested taking the necessary measures
to build a cardiological and nervous disease center for 500 patients near Tomsk during

was also suggested. The construction of the sanatoriums by various departments on e.
Cooperative basis.
However. in addition to good decisions, it is also necessary to supervise their
implementation and to display initiative and purposefullness of direction. Good be-
ginnings are simply not enough. Workers at the Oblast Agricultural Administration and
the Tomlesprom Association could not find a common language and purpose enabling. them
to jointly build and open a cooperative preventative health clinic. It is also a shame
that neither the Executive Committee of the Oblast Council nor the Presidium of the
Trade Union Council paid any more attention to their decree.
One can also reproach the managers of the Oblast Health Department for passivity.
Who should be more persistent than they in seeing to it that these goals are achieved?
The Oblast has a large number of big enterprises where many thousands of petroleum
workers, builders. loggers, and wood workers are employed. Local plants, factories,
kolkhozes, and sovkhozes have extensive potential and resources. Perhaps some of

their resources could be directed toward construction of interdepartmental water treat-

The Ministry of Health USSR, the Central Health Resort Council of the All-Union
Council of Trade Unions, and Gosplan RSFSR should direct their attention to the very
favorable possibilities for the new health resort-sanatoriums facilities in Siberia.
In our opinion it is essential to begin on the spot and to return to the decision
to create a Siberian Matsesta a little ways from Torsk.

S. N. Zhurkov1s basic scientific interests, whose formation was greatly influenced
by A. I. Ioffe, A. P. Aleksandrov, and P. P. Kobeko, are concentrated on the physico-
mechanical properties of solid bodies. He conducted research of fundamental importance
on the attainment of a theoretical strength of solid bodies, the nature of the tempera-
ture hardening of polymers, and the clarification of the atomic and molecular mechanism
of failure in bodies. Of the greatest importance are works of the latter direction
Nauka i Chelovechestvo;'"Znaniye." 1972, 399 pp
which continue to be intensively developed at present. Here S. N. Zhurkov radically
revised the ideas of mechanical failure in solid bodies. S. N. Zhurkov's works demon-
strated that the disconnection of atoms during failure in bodies is caused by thermal
fluctuations in a body, while the load plays only an activating part. These works,
where the new kinetic theory of failure is formed, help to solve the problem of pur-
posefully increasing the strength of bodies.
S. N. Zhurkov is a member of a number of scientific and academic councils of inter-
national scientific societies and editor-in-chief of the journal Fizika Tverdogo Tela.

Abstract: State Prizes USSR awarded in 1973 to Soviet scientists. engineers and tech-
nologists are indicative of great advances achieved in furthering the scientific-
technical progress of the USSR in leading branches of science and technology. Enumer-
ated, in order of importance, are the achievements of various scientific collectives.
The Belorussian physicists N. A. Borisevich and V. G. Vereshehagin, representtng
the Soviet physi.comathematical school of thought, were awarded prizes for the creation
of a new class of optical filters for a wide range of the infrared specLi?am, which is
increasingly utilized in solving scientific and applied problems in various fields of
science and technology.
A major contribution to physical sciences were works of a large group of physicists
related to the theory of the photoproduction of mesons, as well as investigations of

N. P. Korneychuk, professor of Dnepropetrovsk University, who pr?oprsed fundamentally
new methods for solving extremal problems of the approximate theory.
The collective of scientists and specialists headed by Academician B. P. Nikol'skiy
was awarded a prize for developing a theory of the glass electrode and for describing
the electrode properties of glasses. This collective has also solved the problem of
automatic control avid regulation of the protraction processes and scientific investiga-
tions, based on the magnitude of the acidity index. Another advance in the improver.6nt
of the finest technological processes is a new method of a gas electronography developed
by N. U. Rambidi and others, permitting investigations of molecular structures with a
high degree of accuracy and at high temperatures (up to 25000)?
Investigations of A. D. Shcheglov, devoted to the elaboration of scientific founda-
tions for the prognosis of deposits of minerals in the domain of tectonomagmatic activi-
zation, contributed in recent years to a discovery of new, large deposits of nonferrous
and rare minerals. The State prize was also conferred upon a group of authors (M. P.
Volarovich, and others) for a complex investigation of the piezoelectric effect of
rocks, and its use in the form of a new method of search for mineral deposits.

A fruitful cooperation of Soviet and Cuban scientists, headed by I. I. Gerasimov
pnd Nunez-Jimenez Antonio, resulted in the production of a national Atlas of Cuba.
In biology a prize was awarded to Belorussian scientist D. M. Golub for a series of
studies on the nervous system.
A prize was bestowed upon Academician A. P. Okladnikov and Corresponding Member
of the Academy of Sciences USSR V. I. Shunkov for the "History of Siberia," from the
most ancient archeological cultures up to the present time.
Many works awarded state prizes demonstrate the fruitfulness of cooperation between
science and practice. One such study of enormous importance to the national economy is
the creation of a highly effective prophylactic preparation, TF-130 (vaccine), against
herpes tonsurans of cattle, and the development by a group of Uzbek selectionists of
new, disease-resistant cotton varieties.
In medicine the State Prize USSR was awarded to Prof V. I. Burakovskiy and his
colleagues for a study of clinical aspects and diagnosis of heart defects in very
young children and for elaborating new methods of surgical treatment. A notable
contribution to public health was made by a group of specialists (I. I. Zhilevich,
and others) with a new original method, electroroentgenograpny, based on the use of
semiconductive properties of selenium lamellae, for obtaining X-ray pictures on ordi-

"Soviet, Swedish Scientists Discuss Baltic Pollution"
Riga, Sovetskaya Latviya, 15 Sep 73, p 2
Translation: The se;ond Soviet-Swedish symposium on protecting the Baltic Sea from
polution opens in Riga on 17 September. Our correspondent S. Ilicheva asked 0. P.
Andrushaytis to answer a number of questions connected with the ecological and social
problems of protecting the water of the Baltic and to describe the significance of the
forthcoming symposium.
Question: Why is the problem of protecting the Baltic Sea so acute?
Answer: This sea is an internal reservoir of the European continent. Some fifty
large ports and major populated centers are situated on its shores. Pollution of the
Baltic and the rivers flowing into it is primarily connected with the intensification
of industrial production and agriculture and the increased effect of man on nature.

ANDRUSHAYTIS, 0. P., Sovetskaya Latviya, 15 Sep 73, p 2
The. effectiveness of biological processes in water is determined to a considerable
extent by the amount of oxygen dissolved in it. Scientists are alarmed at the decrease
of it in the very deep strata of the Baltic and at the prevalence in individual zones
of hydrogen sulphide which is fatal to. fish and other marine life. This is to be ex-
plained first by the effect of the anthropogenic factor -- the activity of people and second the accumulation of biogenic substances, which is commonly described as
'.'water being moldy."
The hydrological regime of the Baltic is determined by the prevailing winds, the
flow of fresh water brought by rivers, and the exchange of water with the North Sea
through the Danish Straits of the Storre Baelt and the Lille Baelt and Ore Sund.
There is a bistratification of current in the Baltic; the denser waters of the North
Sea form the lower current and the waters of the Baltic form the upper current toward
the North Sea. The upper layers are fresher and warmer. When salty water comes in
from the North Sea, it forces the very deep salty layers upward and thus the oxygen
content of the Baltic, is maintained. There is an opinion that this water exchange has
declined in recent years and that the Baltic has become considerably poorer in oxygen.
ANDRUSHAYTIS, G. P., Sovetskaya Latviya, 15 Sep 73, p 2
Salinity is intensifying in the central part of the sea, for example, whereas in
1900 it was 9.5 parts per thousand in .he upper strata, in 1970 it was more than 10.5.
The phosphorus content is also increasing from 1 gram per liter of water to 4 grams.
There are high concentrations of lead, mercury, oil, pesticides (particularly DDT),
and other toxic compounds in the waters of the Baltic.
Question: Nevertheless, there have recently been reports of measures to liquidate
the undesirable consequences of scientific-technical progress and instances of a consid-
erate attitude toward nature and particularly water. Can anything be said in this
respect about the Baltic Sea?
Answer: The struggle to conserve our environment has become a task which goes be-
yond national boundaries. As far back as 1968 UNESCO held in Paris the first interna-'
tional scientific conference devoted to the resources of the biosphere. Soviet dele-
gates also spoke at it. There have been several regional symposiums and conferences,
including one in 1971 -- the first Soviet-Swedish symposium in Stockholm on protecting
the Baltic Sea from pollution. Serious study of the entire complex of causes of mari-
time pollution is necessary, and, of course, combined efforts are necessary by all the

countries adjoining the Baltic, particularly in the territorial waters of each inter-
ested state. It is essential to collect a great amount of factual material to find
ways of solving this serious problem.
The Soviet government was one of the fist to adopt a resolution on "Intensifying
the Conservation of Nature and Improving the Use of Natural Resources." This document
specifies the functions of ministries and departments in the sphere of nature conserva-
tion. It stresses their responsibility for the rational uti.tization of waters and the
protection of reservoirs from pollution and litter, as well t,s for work in cleaning
installations and discharging sewage.
In the Latvian Academy of Sciences' Institute of Biology the assistants of the
Hydrobiology Laboratory are conducting a systematic study of the ecology of the Baltic.
Last year a Laboratory on the Biology of the Sea was created in the Institute to engage
in research on the Gulf of Riga, which is of important national economic significance.
There are marine and freshwater microorganisms living in the Gulf which are brought
here by the Daugava, :7auya and Liyelupe Rivers. Scientists select such biological

indicators, that is, microorganisms from whose reaction and life activity it is
possible to determine trends toward lollution. The change in the chemical composition
of water is being studied: We are interested in hydrobiological processes -- the
development of algae, zooplankton and zoobenthos.
A law "On Nature Conservation" has been adopted in Soviet Latvia and serious
attention is paid to building installations to purify the effluent discharged by enter-
prises into the Julf and rivers. The Ventspils Petroleum Base, the Bolderaya Wood
Processing Combine, and other enterprises have good purification installations.
Question: What will be the representation of foreign scientists at the symposium?
What can be said about the program and intended results of the symposium?
Answer: A delegation of ten Swedish scientists is headed by Assistant Professor
IQiannerts (transliterated), director of the National Committee on Nature Conservation.
It is proposed that our guests will deliver ten reports on questions of the hydrological
and biological regimes of the Baltic Sea. In my view, we shall be interested to hear
speech by Prof Ove Yanson (transliterated) of Stockholm University on modeling the
,,ological system of the Baltic Sea.

It is expected that each country of the Baltic Basin will send two observers to
the symposium.
As far as Soviet scientists are concerned, they for their part will also deliver
several reports on various aspects of the problem, for example, A. I. Simonov, pro-
fessor at the Institute of Oceanography of the Main Administration of the USSR Hydro-
meteorological Service, will familiarize the symposium's participants it detail with
the state of the change in the chemical composition of the Baltic Sea. Scientists
from Soviet Latvia are also to deliver some reports.
Bilateral research work is a step toward solving the problems of the Baltic Sea.
Joint research by Finnish and Soviet scientists in the Gulf of Finland has been going
on for a long time now. The second Soviet-Swedish symposium is an undertaking on an
international scale. It is possible that it will serve as a major step toward con-
cluding a general treaty between the countries of the Baltic Basin on the conservation
of its waters and on multilateral scientific research into all problems connected
with violations of the biological equilibrium in this very large reservoir of Europe.

What is the agenda and purpose of the Conferenne?
Answer: As is well known, on this immense and beautiful planet, which is our
Earth, there is more water than land. Nevertheless, the ~'r,ernh water fit for drinking
and industrial purposes is comparatively scarce. Itn L.t^~ reserves are estimated at
one-and-a-half billion cubic kilometers, including w;.; ;f rivers and lakes. And
here we are faced with a paradox: on one hand, man is aw:,?a of the acute fresh-water
deficit; on the other hand, he consciously deprives himself of these already scanty re-

Sovetskaya Rossiya, 29 Oct 73, P 2
What then is tho solution to this problem? Should we forbid the pollution of the
water of rivers and lakes with industrial effluents? Certainly that would be the ideal
way. But our problem cannot be solved by prohibitions alone. Besides, in many cases,
such a solution would be equivalent to the elimination of industrial enterprises. We
need stringent and reliable control. We also need effective methods and sensitive de-
vices capable of discovering even the most insignificant impurities of harmful sub-
stances in water.
A dream of scientists is to have a kind of chemical thermometer which would show
the precise concentration of all undesirable components in the water of lakes and rivers.
But such a thermometer does not exist although there are instruments that catch the
most insignificant concentrations of substances. In particular, they show the presence
of even one tt:ct-sandth fraotion of a milligram of mercury in a liter of water! Mean-
while the number of substances for which the Ministry of Health USSR has established
maximum permissible concentration: ' about five hundred.
At present several methods are in use to determine the presence of various mineral
impurities, including concentration of definite elements, and the method of chroma-
tographic partition of components, mainly metals, such as copper, nickel, and cobalt.
There are also electrochemical, spectral, and other methods of analy.i.s.
2/6
The organic impurities are determined by the instrumental method. We hope this
method will form the basis of the state-wide system of water control which is now being
organized in the country.
Question: The Conference will discuss not only surface waters but underground
ones as well. According to published data, at depths up to 300 meters are embedded
four million cubic kilometers of water. Are there plans to put it to use?
Answer: The institutes, laboratories, and expeditions of the Ministry of Geology
'USSR are very intensely engaged in reconnoitering underground waters. There are many
difficulties in that. One has to take up to half-a-million sa pples every year. There
are no rapid methods of analysis, and the geologist on the spot is not always able to
determine the wELter composition. Samples are sent to remote laboratories. As a result
we have not analysis of water on the spot but analysis of water in a bottle. This is
far from being the same.

Answer: I should say with bitterness that here the picture is much sadder than
has been generally assumed. Studies conducted over several consecutive years by ex-
peditions of the State Oceanographic Institute have shown the complete groundlessness
of the long-lived viewpoint that oceans and seas can absorb an illimited amount of
waste. It was found that vast areas of oceans are highly polluted. In many regions
the maximum permissible concentrations of harmful substances have been exceeded for
a long time.
Protection of the ocean is an international prob ..n. This question cannot be
solved by the efforts of a single state alone. The Soviet Union has taken an important
initiative by proposing to wo'.?K out a global program for the control of world ocean
waters and has appealed to all countries to take part in its realization. There is no
doubt as to the difficulties of the problem since we are again faced with the absence
of proper instruments which Mould tell us objectively the quality of water at various
depths and to determine with a high degree or accuracy the presence of a great number
of components.

Sovetskaya Rossiya, 29 Oct 73, p 2
Question: The problem of the fight against pollution of water bodies is not new
and did not arise suddenly. Has science developed sufficiently reliable methods to
prevent disasters, particularly those occurring on the seas?
Answer: I am glad to answer this question since the most effective method of puri-
fying the water surface from spilled petroleum has been worked out precisely in our
country. It has been proposed by scientists of the Institute of Oceanology imeni
P. P. Shirshov of the Academy of Sciences USSR. By means of the emulsion method,
applied in a closed cycle, it is possible not only to localize in good time the danger-
ous spill-center but also to collect almost completely the spilled petroleum. In the
USSR, three plants had already been built and produce special reagents for clearing away
sea mishaps. It is interesting to note that the emulsion method has found its applica-
tion in agriculture as well. The method was patented in the USA, Japan, West Germany,
Holland, and other countries.
Question: The tasks of the Conference apparently include not only examination of
effective methods of water control, but also the problem of its purification on an in-
dustrial scale. Will there not arise some difficulties in this matter since there will
be a need for very great investments?

Answer: As a mat!;er of fact the investments required will be high. But they will
be compensated. In the first place, by building purification installations we not only
invest money but we also obtain a return upon it. According to the estimates of' ex-
perts around the world the effluents carry away with them metals and other valuable
raw materials worth about six billion rubles.
In conclusion, I would like to state that I did not quote all the figures that
will be dealt with by participants of the Conference, and I have not mentioned all
the problems to be discussed,. I wish to note in particular that the working out of
new and improvement of existing methods of water control should greatly contribute to
preserving the purity of our rivers and water bodies. I believe that subjects touched

"All-Union Symposium on Biological Energetics"
Leningrad, Lehingradskava Pravda, 24 Oct 73, p 1
Translation: The First All-Union Symposium on the State of Biological Energetics in
Living Organisms Affected by Irradiation was held on 23 October 1973 at the Leningrad
House of Scientists imeni A. M. Oor'kiy.
This contemporary, new problem is being handled chiefly by young scientists, the
average age of participants in this Symposium being thirty years.
Chemists, biochemists, biologists, biophysicists, and physicians presented papers,
on the results of their investigations in which studies on penetrating radiation were
summed up. Experimental work performed in many scientific centers of the country indi-
cate that irradiation exerts different action on many physical and physico:hemical
processes in living organisms. Its action may be either very harmful or quite useful.
All depends on the dose of irradiation.

Thus scientists- of the Institute of Biochemistry of the Academy of Sciences Uzbek
SSR note that under the effect of ionizing irradiation the sugar content and the
amount of vitamins in the seeds of many plants increases. These observations open
wide prospects. In using them, scientists will be able to use radiation to create
organisms with preset properties. For example, by influencing the heredity of plants
through the action of radiation, improved strains of cotton have been produced.

Moscow Institute of Eye Diseases imeni Gelrmgol'ts. This Institute has developed an
original method for treating amblyopia and a system for controling progressive myopia
with the use of Filatov's biostimulators and hygienic measures. The OdesAa Institute
of Eye ^iseases and Tissue Therapy is specialized in keratoj,lasty and the diagnosis
and treatment of glaucoma. It is also engaged in a relatively new field of research,
viz, the treatment of eye lesions caused ky burns. Here a positive advance was achieved

"Integrated Education in the Medical Vuzes"
Moscow, Vestnik Vysshey Shkoly, No 8, Aug 73, pp 18-21
Abstract: Progress in any one branch of science contributes to advances in many other
branches, some of them apparently quite distant. It is, therefore, necessary for
medical students to become acquainted with a great many scientific disciplines. This
should not involve fragmented bits of information but an integrated understanding of the
relationship of the various sciences.
Prof Kagan is chairman of a commission for the development of integrated interde-
partmental programs at Orenburg Institute. The best procedure appears to be a develop-
ment in the following stages: determination and analysis of interdepartmental links;
coordination of the content of instruction between "adjacent" departments; analysis of
each educational discipline as a part of the integrated system; coordination and or-
Gaaization of instruction in the framework of a developing level of integration.
1 2
The first step involves diagramming the relationships of various departments,
disciplines, and educational themes. Structural-functional simulation and network
;;raphs are used to analyze these relationships. The analysis resulted in the designa-
tion of basic complexes of disciplines: morphological, physical-biochemical, general
pathological, social-hygienic, therapeutic and surgical. The first step will be inte-
gration within these complexes.
The second step, distribution of areas among "adjacent" departments, is intended
to determine the content of an integrated course and eliminate duplication. The work
of the first two stages will be the foundation for the development of a logical struc-
ture of the discipline in each department. This should clarify the relationship between
areas within a discipline and establish the optimum sequence of studies.
The fourth stage, coordinating and organizing instruction, is the most significant.
The ultimate result is to bpi a continuous integration, in which each area is related
to those other areas which support it and which it supports.

Abstract: Against the background of the fascinating scenery of Crimean mountains the
correspondent of Komsomol'skaya Pravda describes the allurements of the Little Academy
of Sciences [MAN] formed spontaneously by Crimean school children ten years ago, and
now, numbering some 5,000 boys and girls from various high schools of the Crimea.
K. Smirnov narrates his discussions with them, ranging from astronomy to cybernetics,
in which he is told why and how the students are engaged in rediscovering natural
laws 8:overning the physical, biological, and other phenomena. His special attention
was attracted by the stands of the Tenth Anniversary Exposition of MAN which models
exhibited telescopes, space stations, excavation panoramas, and cybernetic contrivances.
Several of these models have been awarded prizes by the Exhibition of Achievements of
the National Economy USSR. Incidentally oae of the models, that of a "Thinking
Duckling," had been demonstrated at an exhibition in the United States.

"Medical Facilities for a Motorized Artillery Unit in Defensive Position"
Abstract: In training members of the medical service of the People's Armed Forces, a
training course was instituted during the 1971-2 academic year. The realistic exercise
involved the construction of special bunker systems to serve as first-aid stations for
the members of an artillery unit whe were in a defensive position in the area. The
exercise provided answers to the following questions: What is the best organization of
a medical operation in company headquarters? How is a batallion first-aid station
organized and what are its tasks? How is the first-aid station organized at the troop
level and what are its needs? What is the best way to set up a first-aid station
throughout the entire unit, specifically when it is in the defensive mode? The various
sites and operations were discussed and the method used for training medical-service
personnel in their establishment and ope ation were outlined. Four drawings for the
various medical and first-aid sites were shown.

Institute in Insel Riems, and he was appointed an assistant there on 1 May 1939. He
worked there until 1951, with an interruption between July 1945 and 1948, first as a
department head (1942) and from 1944 onward as scientific consultant and professor.
In 1948 he was appointed head of the Department of Immunotherapy at the Research
Institute for Animal Diseases at Inset Riems. Together with Traub, Moehlmann was
instrumental in developing the complement-binding reaction for rapid differentiation
of foot-and-mouth disease virus types and was thereafter involved in further develop-
ing the method of manufacturing a vaccine against this disease, and the disemination
of the vaccine to protect the entire cattle stock of the German Democratic Republic.
It was here that Moehlmann established a worthy reputation; the method became uni-
versaliy used in almost all countries of Europe. In his doctoral dissertation
Moehlmann gave a comprehensive review of the development of active immunity and of the
significance of the types of foot-and-mouth disease virus. Although the main emphasis
of Moehlmann's work was in foot-and-mouth disease, he also contributed significantly
to research in the epizootology of infectious diseases of horses. ~
In recognition of his scientific achievements, Moehlmann was appointed head and
later (1954) director of Dessau Serum Works, State Enterprise in October 1953. His
2/4

task was to develop the facility into a research institute for vaccination materials.
Prof Moehlmann accomplished this task in an outstanding manner, both in scientific and
organizatorial terms. Moehlmann always worked with an eye toward the future; he knew
that developing agriculture results in a concentration of the animal stock, requiring
new vaccination techniques. Thus he altered manufacturing and testing methods for the
vaccines. His work and the work of his associates was always aimed toward rapid
utilization of the research results into practice.
It is not surprising, in the view of these accnmp'_.shments, that Prof Moehlmann
was given many honors and ever-increasing responsibilities in higher circles. These
tacks sometimes jeopardized his health and capacity to work. Moehlmann was awarded
as a member of the collective headed by President Roehrer the National Prize, Class I
on 7 October 1951. In 1969 he and the Dessau collective headed by him was awarded the
National Prize, Class II. In 1961 he was awarded the Hufeland Medal in gold, and in
1964 the title Senior Veterinary Counsellor. In 1970 he became a member of the Leopoldina
Association of Natural Scientists in Halle.
Additionally, Moehlmann is a member of the Scientific Advisory Body of the Ministry
of Agriculture, Forestry, and Foods, dealing with the fight against cattle tuberculosis
and brucellosis; the Central Working Committee for Research anO Engineering of Serums,

diseases. Until the reorganization of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, Moehlm:nn
was a member of the Section of Veterinary Medicine and head of the working group deal-
ing with the fight against animal diseases within this section. He heads the product
group dealing with serums and vaccines.
Hubert Moehlmann has accomplished much in his-life so far; nothing fell in his lap,
but he devoted considerable energy and diligence to.his work and was supported by
first-class assistants whose work he appreciates. As a researcher and director of one
of the largest research institutes for vnccines in the German Democratic Republic,
he contributed significantly to the strengthening of the state of workers and peasants
by ensuring the minimization of losses in the animal stock of our socialist agriculture.
His associates, students, and friends wish him further success in his scientific en-
deavors and the speedy recovery of his health.

epidemics had to be fought, and the cattle stook had to be increased.
After 1 January 1954 Doctor Rathefeld became regional veterinarian, a responsible
function. In the same year he passed the civil-service examination for veterinarians.
By involving intensive politico-ideological and professional efforts, he succeeded in
increasing production and reducing animal losses. In the past years he continuously
worked toward the establishment of state veterinary practices. The formation of
veterinary-medical collective practices was actively supported by Doctor Rathsfeld.
His special professional interest was in disease-hygienic prevention in rendering
facilities and the utilization of products generated there. Thus, he supported efforts
toward introduction of the manufacture ' blood flour in the Graeningen rendering
facility and the skinning of wild rredators, which was instituted here for the first
time in the German Democratic Republic in 1967. As the head of a central working
group, he submitted a recommendation for a regulation for the supervision of rendering
facilities.
In 1963 he visited the Mongolian People's Republic as a member of a working committee
and prepared recommendations for processin;, and utilizing animal carcasses. Numerous

In 1951 Doctor Weineck became regional veterinarian in Arnstadt, a civil servant
of our Republic. He cooperated excellently with the cadres of socialist agriculture
and others engaged in veterinary medicine in Kreis Arnstadt. He instituted the tuber-
culosis and brucellosis program and. as a result all animals in this region became free
of these diseases by the end of 1970. In recognition of his accomplishments, he was
named an activist of socialist work, and was given the title Senior Veterinary-Medical
Counsellor in 1962 to reward his achievements in veterminary medicine.
Doctor Weineck always understood how to support the development of socialist agri-
culture by working as a veterinarian. His positive attitude was reflected in his work
in the produc;,ion leadership of the RLN (K) [abbreviation not explained], and he also
contributed to the journal Monatshefte fuer Votelrinaermedizin. The collective of

centralized planning, information, and evaluation system be established and what is
the significance of a central data bank or computerized data center in the evaluation
and planning of public health activities? (2) If a central national data bank is estab-
lished, should a special organization be created fo.,: it and if so, what should be the
relationshilp between the bank and the national hea],th authorities? Should the bank,
if establiiished, deal with routine operations only, or should it also engage in research?
(3) Relationships between centralization and decentrali.'ation in public health direction,
planning and evaluation. (4) Possibilities of establishing various standards and the role
for standards in public health direction, planning, and evaluation. (5) Objectives needs
of the population, and means for surveying the public health requirements. (6) Signi-
ficance of local surveys in the public health service.

who, after liberation and the termination of the war, knew how to convert weapons

Of course the birth (30 Decrmber 1947) of the Ptoople's Republic (now the Socialist
Republic) does not coinoica with the emergence of scientific research in Romania....
But only 25 years ago when people's power was established, did science begin to play a
major role. The government proclaimed science one of the! d.stermining factors of social-
ist construction. From the outset it took all the steps to promote the rapid progress
of scientific research. These steps involved recrganizir4 education at all levels,

restructuring the Academy, and establishing research institutes in every field. Conse-
quently, it established three institutes of mathematics, six institutes of chemistry,
two institute's of physics, and institutes of mechanics, electrical engineering, biology,
history, linguistics, economic sciences and others to which were added many institutes
attached to economic ministries and research institutes and laboratories attached
to major industrial centrals.
While Romania in the prewar period had only 52 scientific research units, in 1965
it had 216 and in 1970, 261. In 1938-39 the budget appropriations for science was
105.9 million lei while in the 1966-1970 period tho appropriations for science were 9
billion lei. In the prewar period the scientific research staff numbered 2,000-3,000
persons. In 1965 their number increased to 30,000 and in 1970 to 40,000. The results
were not long in coming. Only 8 years later in 1956, at the Congress of Romanian
Mathematicians attended by many foreign guests, the young Romanian mathematicians dis-
tinguished themselves not only by their high-standard training but also by their
outstanding studies in very topical areas. The current Romanian school of mathematics
is on a competitive level with schools in foreign countries.

Reaearch in physics was seriously affected by the lack of support of prewar
governments. During the period in which research in other countries was taking giant
stridetr, in Romania teachers and research workers had poorly appointed laboratories
which prevented them from doing their share in enriching the world scientific gains.
Only under the new system, when two institutes of physics were established in Bucharest,
did genuine scientific research come into being, thanks to the constant support of
the government and the researchers' talents and enthusiastic work. Without claiming
that a school of physics emerged at the same point, it can be noted with satisfaction
that a great many outstanding researchers were rapidly formed in very sophisticated
areas of modern physics. Their emergence, high-standard training, dedication, and
eagerness to approach the most complicated problems is a sure proof that Romanian
physical research has genuine surprises in store for the near future. Many researchers
in physics and especially in nuclear physics are involved in joint programs under the
izaajor laboratories at Dubna (USSR), CERN (Switzerland), and Trieste (Italy).
Along with the considerable progress of basic research, outstanding efforts have
been made in research for development. Industrialization would not have recorded such
results had it not been for the rapid training of adequate numbers of experts in many

specialized areas. The program involved has been promoted by vk:~ many institutes of
higher technical training established after 1947. The three major units existing at
that time in Bucharest, Iasi, and Timisoara were not adequate. Moreover, many research
institutes were established both under economic ministries and under industrial centrals.
The staffs of engineers who monitor and supervise the various industrial processes .
has been significantly increased by the appearance of researcher-engineers whose goal;l
might seem limited but whose influence on quality could be considerable....
This brief survey should not lead to the conclusion that one can be satisfied
with the level attained and that any further effort would be useless. Constant
efforts must be r:gde not to live but to survive. Consequently, scientists must con-
tinue to learn and constantly keep abreast to avoid being overtaken. Hence in Romania,
just as in all he other counteies, the problem of retraining has become a state
matter. Adequate steps wore taken on a countryside scale. But the Romanian scientific
workers did not wait for these steps to be taken. They are fully aware that keeping
abreast with all the discoveries is a vital matter for a scientist. Therefore they
persevere in their studies and research. Undoubtedly, Romanian research workers will
obtain valuable and durable results muting the hues which the Romanian government
and people have pinned on them. "Today's buds carry tomorrow's fruit."

"Dante Alighieri, in his vision expressed in 'the Divine Comedy many centuries ago,
set manes life span at 70 years. Thin is how his commentators explain his first two
linos: 'At the middle of our life/ I was in a dark forest.' When he wrote his immortal
poem, Dante was 35 and was, as he stated in his verse, at mid-life. This accounts
for the 70-year life span t;iich Dante had set for man, a span which he had inferred
from his c n? observations of his f6i1oxmen.
"If Dante's reckoning was reconsidered in light of the fact provided by Prof Vancea

in the law, the point for stopping work and has not caused him to rest because of

Romanian ophthalmology and his active involvement in world scientific activity where
he has been playing a mayor role. He said that in medicine Prof Vancea competently
and persistently made use of the characteristic period in the his my of ophthalmology
Quring the last five decades and acted as a participant and not ac: a spectator. The

Conventional morphopathology, cytology, and the histology of the ocular system were
provided with new techniques and new interpretations.
Prof Vancea made outstanding effort:, sometimes under unfavorable conditions, to
be involved in this progress of ophthalmology. This is proved by his many surveys in
the above-mentioned areas. He wrote more than 100 papers on research into the normal
and pathological structures of the eye. He used the techniques of modern physiology
and biochemistry in his studies. He was involved with the vegetative ocular system
in his early scientific work as shown by his doctoral thesis in 1928, his reports to
the Paris Society of Biology, and other papers. He was constantly involved in the man-
agement of ocular diseases. His report on the Pharmacology and Pharmacodynamics of
the Eye published :_n German is an outstanding survey or his own research in analogy
with world literature.
Although his clinical and experimental studies practically embraced the entire
area of ophthalmology, he had obvious preferences. One involves the studies on trachoma
in which he invalidated the importance of the complement fixation reaction; he demon-'
strated that viral inclusions (Halberstadter-Proweoheck) are of great importance in
GHINEA, S., Progresele Stiintei, Vol 9, No 1, Jan 73, pp 47-48
diagnosing trachoma corpuscle vectors; he studied trachoma experimentally and clini-
cally and the action of the trachoma virus on the oxidase of the Herder gland and its
culture on the chorioallantoio membrane of the embryonated chicken egg; and he made
essential contributions to the treatment of trachoma with sulfamides,-low temperature,
and vaccine. With very good reason, in 1969 the Council of the International League
and Organization Against Trachoma awarded him the Gold Medal for outstanding contri-
butiotus to the study and control of trachoma.
Moreover, emphasic must be placed on his experimental research into the appearance
of rabbits' naphthalinic cataract, which is very similar to the human senile cataract.
He demonstrated that the disturbance of glucid synthesis and phosphorylation are in-
volved in the process of appearance. He made a major contribution to the treatment
of eye diseases with extracts of the lacrimal gland, extracts of the ciliary body,
and especially with total eye extract, very effective especially in the management
of progressive myopia and its complications. His clinical research practically
covered the whole pathology of the eye -- strabism, senile cataract, glaucoma, strong
myopia, cancer of the eye, and other diseases. All this explains the unanimous appre-
ciation and numerous tokens of amity from outstanding foreign ophthalmologists on his

70th birthday. At this celebration, these appreciations added to the documents which
attest to the Mork and personality of Prof Vancea.
Prof Vancea's merits have been fully recognized in Romania as well. He held uni-
versity and academic positions and was awarded degrees and distinctions. He was
active in the universities of Cluj, Iasi, and Bucharest for more than four decades,
he is a corresponding member of the Academy of the Socialist Republic of Romania and of
the Academy of Medical Sciences, and so on. As part of his many-sided international
involvement, he is a full member of the Leopoldina German Academy of Scientific Workers
in Halle, permanent member of the Council of the European Society of Ophthalmology,
deputy chairman of the Internatonlal Society of Ergophthalmology, and a member of
many scientific societies and ophthalmological institutions in West Germany, East
Germany, France, and other countries.
Another speaker, Prof Vasile Netea, praised Prof Vancents outstanding activity
in the cultural area. He emphasized that it has been a distinguished tradition of
Romanian scientists, either representatives of humanistic, biological, mathematical,
economic, or medical sciences, to combine their purely scientific work designed to
solve specialized problems with dedication to civic activities aimed at disseminating
GHINEA, S., Progresele Stiintei, Vol 9, No 1. -Tan 73, pp 47-48
science, culture, and the arts among the masses and to the patriot..".c education of the
people. The speaker briefly reviewed the civic, social, and educational activities
of outstanding personalities of Romania's history and placed Prof Vaneea's contribu-
tions in this context. He stated that Prof Vancea is one of the Romanian scholars who
devoted much of their ardor, energies, and ability to the development and promotion
of the Romanian peoples universities. Concurrently with conducting his specialized
research as one of the most outstanding Romanian and world ophthalmologists he also
carried out intensive work to popularize science and many ideas in the area of general
knowledge and modern technology. Under the socialist system, Prof Vancea's efforts
along this line have intensified and have assumed the character of a genuine apostolate.
The speaker emphasized that Prof Vancea distinguished himself as both a theoretician
in line with the directives of the Romanian Communist Party and as an enthusiastic
inspirer and achiever. His theoretical views were formulated in many speeches,
articles, and ingerviews which are fervent pleas for the dissemination of cultural
knowledge among the masses and also for the procedures involved.
Dr Marius Nicsa adureseed the audience on behalf of Prof Vancea's former students.

Prof Vancea had a powerful and well-defined individuality and was characterized by
boundless enthusiasm. He developed under the Cluj school and assimilated all the
accomplishments of the old Iasi School and of its representatives in those days.
Prof Vancea created a new school of ophthalmology which has been developing for 32
years. The speaker emphasized that he could not forget Prof Vancea's confidence in
his pupil's professional abilities which the pupil himself did not perceive and the
tremendous responsibilities the teacher assigned him from the first days. Moreover,
he could not forget the days and nights spent in the clinic laboratory together
with his teacher, his delight in reporting the first concrete results, his disappoint-
ment over his failures, and the teacher's dissatisfaction over the inadequacy of re-
sults in a particular stage. The speaker concluded that they had planned a special
achievement for this celebration in order to reflect the value of Prof Vaneea and of
his work. Because at home the entire work of Prof Vancea and of the Iasi school of
ophthalmology is known in all the medical world, he thought that they should add to
their warm gratitude not their appreciation of which Prof Vancea was convinced but the
homage of outstanding foreign ophthalmologists who, just as his students, had the
opportunity to meet him, value and love him as a teacher, scientist, and individual.
The speaker presented an album with words of appreciation from more than 70 foreign
ophthalmologists. He then requested President of the Academy Prof Miron Nicolescu

to present to the feted scholar this album which reflected the high prestige of Prof
Vancea in the international scientific world.
In his reply, Prof Vancea made a short autobiographical survey. He said that in
his 50 years of work he omitted very many things and that, like Baudelaire, he could
state that in his moments of sadness he could compare his life with a mountain of un-
realized good intentions. However, the few results which he obtained in scientific
research, he said, showed him that researchers should not despair' and that their drive
should be built on the hope that nature can be conquered in stages. He added that his
confession expressed his scientific approach. In the new revolutionary climate' in
Romania his boldness as a researcher increased because the new system was founded on
the theoretical conviction, demonstrated by practice, that man is capable of mastering
nature because he is a crowning of nature and is regarded as nature which has become
self-awareness. Prof Vancea then thanked the Academy of the Romanian Socialist Re-
public and the speakers for their appreciations of his work and for his individuality.
