During the last four years they total number of subjects increased from 199 to 257. During the same period the number of scientific-technical subjects intended for practical realization in- creased more than twice. These facts were gi+en at the session of the t,oneral Meeting of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences by its president Yu. Matulis. In his opening speech he noted that in recent years the theoretical and experimental level of fundamental research has im- proved. Of great theoretical importance is the work of mathematicians on solving the fundamental problem of the relativity theory and mathematical statistics. 1/4 SOVETSKAYA, LITVA 27 Feb 75 p 4 Research in cybernetics acquires increasing importance. In the past year work also continued on the theoretical spectroscopy of atoms and molecules. Of great interest and importance are research works carrie- out to study the problems of nuclear physics and physics of the atmosphere. Much was done on studyinj the physics and chemistry of semiconductors. Investigations in thermophysics an, being systematically expanded. The president further noted that at the Institute of Biochemistry work continued on the synthesis of antitumorigenic, antileukemic, mutagenic and hemosteriliant com- pounds, and their action was studied. One hundred vnd fifty compounds were syn- thesized and thoroughly studied. Some of them are very promising. The cooperation of a number of scientific collectives was enlisted for the solution of the great com- plex problem of the creation of natural environment its rational use and protectior. . rk of great importance was accomplished on solving problems of the distribution of production forces, optimal planning of naf4.nal economy, increase of the effectiveness of production, socio-economic formations and others.

The bourgeois philosophical trends among Lithuanian emigration began to be thoroughly and widely studied and their recotionary essence and connections with modern bourgeois philosophy and inter- national anti-communism was brought to light. The work was intensified in the study of social policies of the Catholic Church and ideology of the Vatican, it'b social doctrines and their eitical appraisal. While speaking of shortcomings in the fulfillment of plans and socialist pledges the president pointed out, in particular, that in the paut year 16 books were not pub- lished whose publio,ttion was planned, and that many investments were not carried into practice. Academician K. Meshkauskas, chief scientific secretary of the Presidium of the Academy, delivered a report on the scientific activity of the Lithuanian Academy of Seibnoes in 1974. In the past year the institutes worked on 206 subjects of practi- cal application, and 166 works were carried out in accordance with financial agree- ments. USSR SOVRTSTAKA LITVA 27 Feb 75 p 4 The plans for 1975 were discussed by academician-secretaries of particular divisions. "The Division of Physicotechnical and Mathematical Sciences gill work on tho solution of 17 problems and 85 subjects," said Chief of the Division, P. Brazdzhyunaa. The plan of works was set up iii the light of the decisions of the Decembc (1974 Plenum of the Central Committee CPSU. Academician-Secretary of the Division of Chemicotechnological and Biological Sciences L. Kayzyukshtis stated that all the efforts of chemists will be directed to the theory of the electrodeposition of metallic alloys and progressive technologies of coatings and to create automatic assembly lines which will increase labor productivity 1.5-- 2 times. In speaking of the plan of the Division of Social Sciences, Academician-Secretary V. Nyunka stressed that this plan includes strengthening the connection of science with practice and directir. all efforts to the fulfillment of the tasks of the 9th Five Year Plan. Ten problems, comprising 59 subjects, which are to be solved by the institutes in the present year are enlarged and complex. k/u Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 PFD SOVIET SCIENCE 1AA~pr7ved For Release 1999/09/26 3CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 2. USSR EXPERT ON CALL! Tallin SOVETSKAYA ESTONIYA in Russian 24 Jan 75 p 3 (Interview with Estonian forensic medicine expert Aleksey Antonovich Lukash by S. Dovlatov] [Texts The Republic Bureau of Forensic Medical Expertise of the Ministry of Health Estonian SSR recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. Thirty years on the outpost of the law is quite a bit. Our discussant is the chief forensic medical expert of the republic A. Lukash. Aleksey Antonovich is a graduate of the Therapeutic Faculty of the Smolensk Medical Vuz, Later he completed courses in advanced training with specialization on forensic medical expertise. Since 1962 he has headed the Bureau of Forensic Medical Expertise of our republic. We have asked him to answer several questions. 1/5 rAnswer) Well that is a rather long conversation. But I shall try to answer in brief. Let us start with the formulation of my work. Forensic medical expertise is the solving of modie:,l pr,alems in the light of criminal-legal legislation in the interests of investigation, inquest and justice. The field of activity of a forensic medical expert is extremely broad. Among topics of investigation for us are not only human victims of crime but material evidence as well as clinical materials: hospital charts, history of diseases, and so forth. In dealing with victims of crime or an accident, the expert gives his conclusions rela- tive to the source of trauma and the degree of its gravity. He establishes the time of the incident. He explains whether or not the place where the victim was discovered was also the place the crime 4:.^urred,... It is important to understand that forensic material expertise is one of the principal types of proving a crime. A forensic medical expert accords the maximum possible assistance to the investigation within the bounds of his competency.

By profession I am a medical person. And this specialization is actually broad, The knowledge of legal standards and an acute degree of observation and accuracy in details at the scene of a crime are essential qualities of an expert. However, we are not taking the place of an investigator nor that of a lawyer. It is only in detective stories and in the movies that one can see a jaok-of-cll-trades.... [Question) Do you not like detective stories? (Answer) I read then with great pleasure. But with respect to the plots I can't help having some professional observations. In one story, for examp'.e it was said: "He shot his pointblank at three meters..." I pedantically make the observation: this is an inaccuracy. We call a pointblank hit a shot in which the cutoff muzzle rests against the object of the hit. Or moreover. In one popular film an expert with an accuracy of up to several minutes established the time of the death of the hero as wel: as categorically naming the reason for his death. All of this is much more complex.... (Question) In what type of works have you recently been participating as an expert? 3/5 IAnewdr) On the night of 15 January a taxi driver had not kvturned to the parking lot. In the morning not very far from the vil'tge Kozo a burned automobile was dis- covered. Alongside the car in a ditch lay the dead man. On body were traces of knife wotunds. The Office of Forensic Medical Expertise established certain important details off' the incident. But it is still too early to talk about It in great detail. (Answer) Yes, very. My work is connected with so-called negative emotions. Plainly spooking it requires an enormous nervous strain. [Question) Do you regret ch'osing your profession? (Answer] There is no doubt about $.t, I have quite a bit of "dirty" work. But some- one must carry out that work. So why not me? It is impossible to be a forensic medical expert by force. It is neco+ssary to love ones work and love thous for whose safetr73 sake we are ready to work day and night.

They include the prophylaxis of natural-foci infections and zoonotic diseases, topi- cal problems of labor hygiene i' new branches of industry, nutritional problems. etc. Our scientists actively participate in solving these problems. The Republic has 10 scientific research institutes, an Institute for the Advanced Training of Physicians, and 5 universities with over 2,500 scientific workers and teachers. Recently a Kazakh Affiliate of the Institute of Nutrition of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences and a number of laboratories were organizes. The Republic Ministry of Health attaches paramount Importance to problems of organi~tn,% and planning medical science. Communi- cations from leaders of the institutes are .ystematically discussed by the respective boards with the active participation of specialists from Ministry branch administra- tions. it was found that the Scientific Medical Council, which basically works on public lines, cannot cope with the great volume of work.

Life has justified the expediency of such a structure for the Scientific Council and the Department of Science work as a single whole. Corresponding Member of the Kazakh Academy of Sciences N. D. Beklemishov, who has many years standing experience in scie.ntiftc organization work, was appointed Chair- man of the Council. The character of the Scientific Council's work was also changed; various minor problems are now solved at weekly meetings of the Bureau; the Presidium also meets less often and considers problems that are more fundamental. Such forms of work as out-of-town sessions of the 'scientific Council in those institutions whose activities are being discussed has also .lustified itself. Because of this, not only leading scientists but ordinary worker,-, .,a well take part in appraising and planning scientific research and its introduction into practice, The Scientific Medical Coun- cil and the Department of Science have considered anew the principles of planning, It warn decided to eliminate minor and non-promising subjects. The efforts of scien- tistr are concentrated on solving the most important problems of Republic publ.: health and carrying out comprehensive investigations with the participation of a number of laboratories and departments. As a result, instead of the 1,412 subjects in the 1972 plan, in 1974 only 452 subjects were approved as recommended ones. The work being done includes, comprehensive investt .tions on the influence of chromium 2/6 SHARMANOV, T., MEDITSINSKAYA GAZ1STA 12 Feb 75 p 3 on the organism (Aktyuuinsk Medical Institute) and labor hygiene and occupational pathology in the coal industry (Karaganda Medical Institute and the Kazakh Scientific Research Institute of Labor Hygiene and occupational Diseases). The administrations of the Ministry began to display greater activity in planning scientific subject matter. For example, at a meeting of the Board of the Sanitary- Epidemiological Administration and the Scientific Medical. Council, the question was raised of a fundamental change in the subject matter of the Scientific Research In- stitute of Epidemiology, Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. By a decision of the Board work was discontinued in eight direction:-, (leptospirosic, epi.demiolory of malaria, poliomyelitis, diptheria. etc.).

T., MEDITSINSKAYA OAZETA 12 Feb 75 p 3 financial agreements with the Ministry of Meat and Dairy Industry. It should be noted that while the scientific research institutes have rapidly changed to a new system of planning, in some universities this process was delayed beeai,se of the scattered character of the subject matter of many chairs, individual character of research, unwillingness to break with the established routine, and inertia of leaders. The Scientific Council of the Ministry has enjo'nell the university administrations to provide incentives for the executers of the recomme.lded subjects: in the first place to provide them with experimental animals, funds for business trips, and publication of materials (certainly provided their quality is ade;;uate). Upon re-election of the associates of chairs, beginning with professors and ending with assistants, the participation of these associates in the elaboration of recom- mended subjects should be taken into consideration. At first it was not clear which subjects should be considered recommended. Then the following order was establishe4: the subject is considered recommended only after it has been approved by one of the special commissions of the Scientific Medical Council. This way first to be approved are subjects of regional importance, as well as com- prehensive, interdepartmental, and intercollegiate subjects. 4/6 SHAR?!ANOV, T. , MEDITSINSKAYA GAZETA 12 Feb 75 p 3 Unfortunately, some scientists think their mission is ct.?ipleted with the and of their research on the subject and publication of the results in r 'ournal or collection of works. But the real results make themselves felt only when the new method of diagnosis and method of treatment reach the patient and begin wide use in practice. At the meetings of the Board of the Ministry and at the sessions of the Presidium of the Scientific Council for Problems of Introduction into Use, reports were discussed from almost all scientific institutes and universities. The overall picture was rather motely. For example, it was found that the Scientific Research Institute of Pediatrics (of the 3rd Category), which met with much criticism, recently produced much more instructive materials than some large institutes. The problems of intro- ducing research into use is being treated with very little en'rgy by the Alma-Ata and Semipalatinsk Medical Institutes. At the same time the participation of brannh administrations of the Ministry in the selection of proposals for introducing research into use and their further progress is inadequate.

The overall share of large comprehensive research eub- jeots is inconsiderable. Too few generalizing monographs are being compiled, and a considerable amount of printing space reserved for the Republic by the Publishing House "Meditaina" is being left unused every year. With a switch-over tv the publication of the bubject-natter scientific collections of works the interest In them has increased but the number of copies published rerains small. There is inequality in providing various institutes and departments with scientific cadres. 1Jp to now the central scientific research laboratories of the three medical institutes were riot completely equipped. All this certainly has an adverae effect on the efficiency of scientific research and the introduction of the completed work!, into wide practice. At the end of the past year the Board of the USSR Ministry of Health was presented with a report on "The Management of Medical Science in the Republic by the Kazakh Ministry of Health." By the decision of the Board this activity was approved. At the same time the Board has noted a number of shortcomings which we are now working to eliminate, 6/6 4. USSR PETROV. V.

A AUTOMATED REPEREIICE AND I140)RHATION SYSTEM FOR SCIENCE AND T9CHH0LOOY Moscow IZVESTIYA in Rusfsian 5 Jan 75 p 3 1Textl The All-Union Institute of Scientif,c-Technical Information (VINITI) of the State Committee for Science and Technology of the USSR Council of Ministers and of the USSR Academy of Sciences is the world's biggest information center in science and technology. All day mail trucks arrive in a constant flow at the entrance of a massive building on Baltiysksya Ulitsa. The parcels, printed matter, and heavy packages in tattered wrappings bear stamps of more than a hundred foreign countries. Thus wide is the rLn, of VIi1ITI correspondents who provide it with published literature on technology. exact and natural sciences, and agricultural machine-building. Up to 20,000 books, 25,4'0O items of foreign and Soviet journals, and over 200,000 patent descriptions, in all about a million documents annually, is handled by the Institute every year. The handling ',f this enormous multinational flow of publications (In about 70 foreign lar4uages) is complicated. It has to be carefully classified according to subjects, separated from all extraneous matter, and arranged in the form of convenient bulletins and reference collections for the use of half a million subscribers. Much has already been written about this avalanc:Fr of information that accompanies the rapid development of science and technology. Chemists were the ft-st to feel the impact of this avalanche of information. Furthermore, the volume of scientific-technical publications is constantly growing: on the average by 5-5.5 percent annually. Chemistry continues to be the record- holder with an increase over 8 percent. Physicists, geologists, machine-builders, and specialists of many other branches stand in treat need of recent scientific- technical information. ":ill this is being explained not by simple curiosity," says Deputy Director of the Institute Candidate of Technical Sciences A. Chernyy. "Science has become in full measure a branch of the national economy and has begun to function in accordance with the laws of industrial production; therefore the shortening of the time needed for the introduction of novelties is a matter of pure economics."

And various specialists even of the same branch are in need of different informative selections, different information material is also required by scientists and practical workers. Achieving such elasticity, in the opinion of specialists, is possible only by cen- tralizing the processing of information and decentralizing its supply. In pra:tice it will assume the following form. on the computer's magnetic tapes is coded the dum total of news, let us say, for example, on metal working, for a definite segment of time.

Bibliographies begin to play an increas- ingly important part in providing scientists with concentrated scientific informa- tion, The State Public Scientific-Technloal Library of the Siberian Department of the USSR Academy of Sciences--one of the largest in the country--has compiled such bibliographical compendia as "The Geology of Siberia and the Par East," "Plant Re- sources of Siberia and the Par East," "Animal Kingdom of Siberia and the Par Fast," and many others unique in the Soviet Union, and the current literature reference publication "Biogeooenology," which is unique in the whole %orld. Narrow specialization of libraries serving particular branches of science and tech- nology separates them instead of uniting their efforts for the common purpose, whereau discoveries are made as a rule at the junctions of various sciences.

Scientists have begun to ex- tract those substances from the leaves of 3 Par Eastern species of birch. The universally known ginseng is a rare relict. Its closebt relatives were inhabitants of tropical forests which once grew in the present-day Par Fast. In our day only a single species of this remarkable flora has survived. Today a comparatively small amount of' the valuable roots of this plant is being recovered from dense thickets of the taiga. Studies of the Par Eastern ginseng were being made as long as 25 years ago, and parallel work has been done on various other plants. It appeared that stimulating properties were possessed also by substances obtained from the ara l1a and the samara. From ginseng leaves were extracted by laboratory means the so-called pana.,.ocides, which are substances producing the stimulating properties of the ginseng. 1 /2 M MMUNIST TADZHIKISTANA 15 Jan 75 p 4 As work continued, it was established that the basis (skeleton) of the molecules of the biologically-active substances of ginseng are present also in the white birch. In the molecules of two quite different plarts was found an Identical carcass, though the "fill-ins" (radicals conferring this or that property to the organism) were different. The ginseng and the birch therefore had different properties. Chemists now are trying to decide how the carcass of the molecule of a substance obtained from the birch can be supplied with a "fill-in" which has molecules of the substance extracted from the ginseng.

"Do you remember yourself at this age?" Doctor of Medical Sciences Yu. A. Makarenko points to an 8-year old child. "Our aim," continues the scientist, "is to learn what does he like and what does he dislike in the world that surrounds him, and how does he begin learning to live. 1/5 One used to consider that a child feels well when its vital requirements are satis- fied. At present, for example, we know with certainty how much and what kind of nourishing substances should be consumed by a child at this or other age. This is most important for health. But now he has had his fill, he is warm, dry, and com- fortable. Is this sufficient to be completely satisfied with life? During the very first days and months, in general, yes. But a little later... The associates of the Laboratory have found that some positive emotions are also necessary. And they are generated not only and perhaps not so much ')y the satisfaction of the simplest blo- logic,.l needs. The child develops new forms of the activity, h? yearns to know the world in all its multiformity of colors and sounds, and to associate with adults. And, in particular he feels an almost irresistible need of exercise which gives him a real "muscular joy." We observe a familiar picture: a child halds on to the bars of his crib and squats over and over again rhythmically. On the whole he is happy. It is just a pity that a rigid wooden structure does not "play up" to him. Perhaps his joy would be greater if the a-% were to respond to his movement;a? Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 simple devices were constructed such as rocking-chairs which are Doing puv L.. by children themselves until they get tired. Thus it is poosible to determine the amount of motor activity which results from the inner need of the child. And the side-issue of this research is that some of these contrivances, improved by designers, may serve as equipment of children's creches or a nursery room at home. The laboratory investigations are not necessarily aimed at the issuance at once of any practical recommendations. The formation of the physics of man making his first steps in life is an extremely complex process. We have much to learn. But certain things can be already popularized, realized, and suggested to designers of toys." "To give joy, a toy should be active," remarks Yu. A. Makarenko. "The current toys, with the exception, perhaps, of an elastic ball, are passive. For some reason, the greatest interest of children is caused by living beings such as a cat or a puppy. Animals respond to an action and educate in their own way: if there is something objectionable in the attitude of the child toward them, they run away, if they like it, they are eag:r to get in touch. 3/5 FEDOROV, A., PRAVDA 5 Dec 74 p 6 Here is the example of an "active" toy: "Signore Pomidoro," a personage from a play about Sippolino, a standard plastic puppet from the "Children's World." It has been perfected, equipped with a small electric bulb inside it and a microphone, connected with a transistor switch. A child who cannot yet speak, but who already babbles syllables, exclaims "ma," and the bulb lights up. This attracts his attention. Again "ma" and "ba," and the connection between babble and lighting up of the bulb is caught. Now the child becomes an active participant of a creative play and to judge from joyful brilliance of his eyes, he is happy. Yu. A. Makarenko shows one of the experimental stands. It has two 'Dig push button- keys, easily yielding to weak little hands of the child. If one of them is pressed, a soft bulb twinkles bewitchingly brightly, and when anothar button is pressed, a ]1w sound is heard, which evokes watchfulness in thi child, He chooses the twinkling bulb to play with. But, now and again, he presses the "lass" key: a little terrible, but interesting... Toys are made and selr:.,ted for children by adults, music is also written for them by "big uncles," who h).ve completely forgotten what had pleased and caused joy to them at their crawling age. Perhaps, such stands will help children to become the active "coa':ihors" of designers and composers. Then their leisure hours, which, unfortunately, not always can be shared by their parents, will be filled with active, emotional play,. causing joy with sounds and colors. 14/5 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 It is difficult to ask anything of a man who is not yet one year old; he cannot as yet answer with words. And to know his opinion about what gives him joy 1s indis- pensable. It is necessary b,th for his mental development and for his physical health. The associates of the Laboratory together with a psychologist carried out the fol- lowing experiment. In several wards of the Clinic, supplementing the current care and treatment, they devoted special attention to the sick children and tried to arouse in the= a maximum of positive emotions. It was found that children to who:n [:.ch kindness was shown recovered twice as rapidly. Thus in the science which studies diseases of children and ways of their treatment a new chapter is being written. It asserts that diseases recede not only under the effect of medicines but also under the influence of joy. 9.

At present in its modern laboratories work 130 specialists of various profiles such as pediatrics, neurology, physiology, and otorhino la.ryngology, among whom there are 15 profess,,rs and 64 candidates of sciences. The age of children being studied ranges from 3 to 18. Six years ago, in Moscow Boarding School No 95, a unique Laboratory of Mental Labor Physiology was created, which conducts its investigations with the use of computer technology. For example, boys and girls were invited to play a "game of astronauts," during which the electronic pickups provide physicians with full information on the state of their cardiovascular and nervous systems. Experiments were conducted daily, morning and evening, at the beginning and end of !'.ie week, for three months. On the basis of their results, in 1971 some important c!,anges were made in school work. In particular, teachers discontinued giving homeva,?k to children for their rest days. 1/2 roved For Release 1999/0 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 Other changes suggested by the specialists of the Institute and scientists of Lenin- grad, Minsk, Kharkov, Tbilisi, and other cities, were: in primary schools, instead of the usual 45-min periods, a stepwise system of day load distribution was applied to the first graders; in the second and third grades, on Fridays and Saturdays the last periods were reduced to 35 minutes, and for sixth and seventh graders, the sixth periods in the second half of the week were altogether eliminated. Patigua- bility of children decreased and their achieveability increased, with good effect on their health. Physical exercises were also given special attention, for great loads at school and evenings spent watching television cause hypokinesia which leads to serious diseases. In the Institute this problem is studied by the Department of Physical Education with a staff of 24, headed by Doctor of Medical Sciences A. G. Sukharev. The changes to be introduced in the planning of school buildings, classrooms, lighting, etc, are also being studied, with special attention being paid to the climatic conditions in various regions of the country.

The buildings of all the scientific research institutes stretch out in a singlt kilow cer-long line and are joined by glass galleries at the second-story level as well as by underground passages; this makes possible the easy juncture of Liew structures with the priority buildings, the effective distribution of area occupied by the buildings, and the development of general service facilities, Not the least important factor here in the rigorous couaitions of Siberia is the possibility of visiting any particular laboratory not facing on the street. The living area is set up in the force of a circle 720 meters in diameter; this will include stores, schools, children's combines and recreation areas.

Usually, when driving from the airport into Vladive tok, you hr;ir bystanders remark, "Right here, between Prospekt 100-Letiya Vladivostoka anti the river, is where they're going to put up the Academic City." That distant city in Primorskiy Kray, in other words, is not only an industrial city and a very great port, but a city of science as well. In October 1970, on the basis of an affiliate on the Siberian Department of the Academy of Sciences USSR. this forepost of science on the Par Eastern coast was organized; today it embraces 15 scientific research institutes (Vladivostok, Khabarovsk, Magadan, anO in Kamchatka and Sakhalin), embracing a botanical garden, a number of game preserves, and various laboratories. Most of these are concentrated 1 /4 USSR MOSTOVSHCHI:~nV, A,, TRUD 8 Fcb 75 p 4 in Primorskiy Kray where, also, will be erected the various installations of the academic complex. "Some of the buildings, in fact, have already been constructed," se, did one of the architects of the project and Director of the Par Eastern Division of the Gipro- NIT B. F. Bogomolov begin his conversation with me. "In three large building com- pt11ites have already appeared the Institutes of Chemistry, Marine Biology, Soil Biology, Bioorganic Chemistry, and others. But this represents only a part of the gigantic scientific complex which is going to be spread out over 480 hectares on the picturesque southern spurs of the Sikhote-Alin'. The creative fantasies of the architect are plain enough to see; but before sabring anything about the wisdom of his creation, I have to make a couple of prosaic, but most important, pointa. What I have in mind are the engineering preparation of the territory an a whole and the communication system. The scientific center is certainly going to grow. It will be the city of the In- stitutes of Mechanics, Evolutionary Biology, Physiology, the Biochemistry of Marine Organisms, Geology, Ocean Geochemistry, and other subjects.

The present plan, therefore, quite embraces the possibility of expanded development of the Center. Just try to imagine what the whole enormous network is going to loo',c like. There will be underground communication, for example. At points where the underground routes intersect, there will be tower units housing elevators, communication facili- ties, and ventilation units. These, moreover, may be constructed in any imaginable architectural form. To this one may add that it at a point twenty years in the future, this or that institute needs to expand its facility, then new structures of any conceivable architecture may be added. The new academic center will be the site of three groups of institutes, constituted on the basis of their research interests. Close to the shore will be scientific facilities concerned with physicomathematical research, along with a complex of institutes devoted to bir' ,ical studies. Near the highway will be a complex of institutes devoted to the docial sciences. A soientifie,.social center will be the architectural nucleus of the academic center. This will have three high, distinguished structures, housing the Presidium of the Par Eastern Scientific Center, the House of Scientists with an 800-seat conference 3/4 MDSTOVSHCHIKOV, A.

The new city of science will include educational and information centers, libraries, a hospital complex, dormitories, and six academic institutions in which students will enter upon the read to advanced science. In particular, I would like to say something about the buildings to be occupied by the Institute of Marine Biology. These are in a circular formation, standing some- what like a hat on a small rise near the water's edge. They include a ring-shaped aquarium for exposition purposes. Quests here will stand in the center of a darkened hall and around them, in exhibitions, will be nothing less than the eternal sea. The workers of the aquatorium are busy constructing a second, and larger. ring. On the shore will be installed special elevators, piers for exploratory ships, and covered ships... The overall plan calls for a large wooded part with a theater. On the shore there will be a stadium and a winter Palace of Sports. 41 In a fairly short time this complex of an amazing city of sr. once will arise. 1 Apr 75 38 PPD: SOVIR SCI101CE Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 39.

Comrade F. I. Loahchenkov, First Secretary of the Yaroalavskaya Oblast Committee of the CPSU has welcomed the participants of the Conference. Theoretical and practical reports were delivered at the Conference by the prominent scientists of the country: Academician V. M. Glushkov, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Pedagogical Sciences B. F. Lomov, Corresponding Member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences B, B. Timofeyev, and Professors V. M. Akhutin, T. T. Dzhamgarov, V. I. Nikolayev, and N. M. Rudnyy. A report on problems of psychology in space investigations was delivered by the USSR astronaut-aviator 0. T. Beregovoy. What was the reason that caused such an increased interest of scientific-technical circles in the work of the Conference? In the first place the fact that at the present stage of scientific-technical progr6ss there occurs a sharp complication of technological means. They are being aggregated into systems and complexes in which the role of she human factor increases immeasurably. It is well known that the operator's errors are found to be the cause of 20 to 53 percent of all failures in the control system and that the cost of these errors constantly increases. The prognostication relative to the development o' the "man-machine" systems makes it plausible to assume that at the present time and in the nearest decades the chief 2/7 RUBAKHIN, V., SOTSIALISTICHSSKAYA INDUSTRIYA 18 Nov 74 p 2 difficulties will be connected not so much with the study of the characteristics of industrial equipment as with the engineering and psychological design and determina- tion of ways and means of the optimum interaction betwee man and equipment. In the solution of these problems, the Soviet engineering psychology and ergonomics proceeds from the standpolrst of the requirements of man, his possibilities. and peculiarities of his activity in relation to technology, and not vice versa. This constitutes a great humane value of our psychological science. The methodological and methodical structure of this branch of science which has now taken shape was aesumod as a basis of the organization of the Conference. Six directions with as many corresponding sections were organized, at which over 350 reports were discussed. General problems of engineering psychology were discussed in the first section under the leadership of Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Pedagogical Sciences V. P. Zinohenko, The prineiplas of taking into consideration the human factor in creating the systems "man-machine" and methodological and theoretical foundations of engineering and psychological investigations were analyzed. 3/7 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 1 Apr 75 41 PPD:SOVIST SCIENCE RUBAKHIN, V., SOTSIALISTICHESKAYA INDUSTRIYA 18 Nov 74 p 2 Investigations on phyehophysiologio:.: vnd psychological characteristics of operators, the patterns of the reception, storage, and procesai.ng of information, the making decisions by man, and the peculiarities end structure of the activity of the operator in the "man-machine" system, were discussed in the second section. The work of the section showed that a theory of the operatorts activity has been worked out and a number of regularities of the man's capacity for work have been investigated. These investigations are of great practical importance. In particular, the estimate of regularities of fatiguability and capacity for work of man in planning the ration- al oond4.tions of labor permits us to increase its productivity by 5-1; percent. The section dealing with "The Engineering and Psychological Problems of Developing the Man-Machine System" was t'1e liveliest. The participants discussed the rational methods of planning the means of the representation of the information, communication, and control, taking into account the possibilities and liwitations of man, and the methods of the appraisal of the reliability of the control and regulating systems. It was shown that in this respect we now have certain positive experience accumulated. 4/7 RUBAKHIN, V., SOTSIALISTICHiSKAYA INDUSTRIYA 18 Nov 74 p 2 For example, on the basis of the psychological analysis of the activity of dispatchers of the Urals United Energy System there has been planned and introduced a complex of the equipment of a dispatcher unit which has considerably increased the efficiency of work of the personnel. The analogous investigations on the development of the new original mnemocircuits. taking into consideration the regularities of the.recep- tion and processing of information by man, were carried out for the purpose of the unification, of the energy systems of the republics of the Transcauca sus and a number of the Heat and Electric Power Plants of Moscow. The proposed means for the repre- sentation of information facilitate the task of the operator in the appraisal of the course of technological process and the detection of emergency conditions. About one third of communications in this section were devoted to the engineering and psychological safeguarding of the automated control systems (ASU). In discussions, the attention was paid to a need of a more thorough study of the activity of the users of computers, and a more intensive development of the "language" systems for th,: exchange of information between man and the electronic computer. In his report Prof V. I. Nilolayev gave special attention to the analysis and syn- thesis of information and documentation systems. Investigations show that the rationalization of business correspondence, formulation of standard documents, and mechanization of processes of their processing, taking into account the engineering psychology, make it possible to reduce the number of various documents by 20 times, 54 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 Approvred For Release 1999/09/26 : C A-RDP86T00608R000 O 6W1F-YN E USSR RUHAKHIN, V., SOTSIALISTICHESKAYA INDUSTRIYA 18 Nov 74 p 2 and the density of information flow may be decreased 3-6 times. The labor outlay for the processing of information may also be considerably reduced. The section of ergonomics headed by the well known specialist in this domain, V. M. Munipov, aroused groat interest. The topical problems of ergonomieal planning, the principles and methods of the arrangement of the equipment in operators' positions, and problems relating to the organization of the production environment, were die- cussed in this section. A special section was set apart for discussing problems of modeling in engineering psychology with the analysis of ways and possibilities for constructing adequate mathe- matical models of certain pi;yehological aspects of the problem of the artificial intellect. Special interest was aroused by the report of Prof J. M. Akhutin on the synthesis of adaptive biotechnical systems harmonizing the possibilities of man and machine. In the section headed by Prof T. T. Dzhamgarov, the topical problems relating to the operation of the "man-machine" system were examined. In the center of attention were psychological questions concerning the control of production processes, occu- pational selection, and psyehologicopedagogical aspects of the training of cadres of 6/7 USSR RUBAKHIN, V., SOTSIALISTICHESKAYA INDUSTRIYA 18 Nov 74 p 2 technical specialists. especially those who operate in the extreme, that is highly strained conditions (astronauts, pilots, seamen).

Instruction in the V1tz. Instruction in forensic medicine has its own peculiar features. Here the pedagogical process is guided by the fact that students who have become physicians are in a position to give qualified assistance to the organs of 3 stice in their investigation of crimes against the life and health of the indi- vidual. This requirement of procedural jurisprudence is presented, in our country, 1/7 SMCL'YANINOV, V., MEDITSINSKAYA OAZETA 20 Nov 74 p 3 as a single program embracing the teaching of forensic medicine for the medical, pediatric, and sanitary hygienic faculties of vuzes. At the same time, forensic medicine serves to complement the overall medical knowledge of the physician. Particular attention is being devoted at the present time to the legal instruction of students. Unfortunately, the academic plan is at variance with the unified program, since dif- ferent amounts of time are allotted to lectures and practice exercises by the vari- ous departments. Thus, there is no motivation for cutting down on the time allotted to instruction in the theory and practice of forensic medicine in the pediatric and sanitation-hygiene departments. In addition, even the dean's offices of medical institutes do not offer the chairs of forensic medicine the number of hours called for in the academic plan. At the Vladivostok Medical Institute, to take one example, 20 lectures are given in the course, as against only 12-14 at the Blagoveshchensk, Krymsk and Ivanovo Institutes. The themez and character of the lectures differ. Only a few departments offer gen- eralized lectures, while in most cases the instructors stick to the texts given fn their manuals. This does nothing to promote independent effort on the part of the students. !/7 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 1 Apr 75 45 FPD:SOVIET SCIENCE USSR The number of practical exercises also varies: at the Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov Institutes, it is 19; at the Vitebsk and Yerevan Institutes, only 9-10. Thb subjects vary, ranging from the examination of witnesses to the study of corpses to the study of theoretical questions. From this arises the urgent necessity of unifying instruction with respect to the number of hours allotted to academic plans, obligatory subjects, the volume of materials to be covered in lectures and practical exercises, and a single system and volume of student testing. Only on this condition is it poesible to achieve a consistent quality of expertise in forensic medicine. One condition for the successfn: organization of instruction in the higher school is "multiple" instruction. In such a multiprofile discipline as forensic medicine this point is of particular significance. In the lecture course the students must arrive at a thorough understanding of modern scientific achievements in forensic medicine, and of their importance for medical work in general medical work. Practical exer- cises require a "ational organization of the independent work of students, work which will afford an acquaintance with modern research methods. The quality of student training is in direct relation to the visual ch.racter of 3/7 presentation -- the use of tables, modelinge, specimens, films, and the like. Unification of the use of technical means and visual aids, and also centralized pro- duction of those media, are essential. During the entire course of instruction student attention should be held to the fact that testing of their progress is precisely an examination of their right to be a physician-specialist. All these questions were actively discussed by the heads of departments and courses, and by members of the board plenum of the A11-Union' Scientific Society of Forensic Physicians. Toxicological research. The basic program of the plenum consisted of questions of forensic toxicology. In connection with the widespread distribution of chemical substances and their use in industry. agriculture and domestic life, the chances of human poisoning are always tangible, In connection with this, insufficient attention is being directed to toxi- cological research, among the various problems being work,d on in forensic medicine. 4/7 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 46 PPD:SOVIET SCIENCE AppFoJid For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 USSR SMOLIYANONOV, V., MEDITSINSKAYA GAZETA 20 Nov 74 p 3 Such research is frequently of an episodical, narrowly specialized character, and there is no planned, scientific basis for it.

There are not only changes in the role of science in society and in social produc- tion, but also in the forms of work of science itself, and in the forms of the bo- cial organization of science. The number of people occupied in science and scien- tific services is increasing constantly. Scientific activity has become a mass pro- fession. Its structure has changed and the division of labor In science has become more complex. Under these conditions the problems of the management of scientific activity acquire huge significance. This is especi-Ily true in the socialist nations since under socialism the general state planning of the development of all areas of the national economy, science, and culture has become possible. in Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 A m o v , d For Release 1999/09/26 : CCJk-RDP86T00608R000 0 ,1 1 cE OVISHIANI, D.

Under the conditions of developed socialist society science has not only occupied a position unique in its history but has also been converted into a powerful lever for the solution of economic, social, and political problems. There has been a consequent unprecedented increase in the importance of the study of methods and means for the acceleration of scientific-technical progress, and the im- provement of the efficiency of scientific-technical research. These tasks were con- vincingly stressed at the 2L'th CPSU Congress. As an extensive multi-faceted social phenomenon both the inte rtal and external rela- tionships of science are studied from various sides and aspects: historical, philos- ophical, economic, political, pyschological, informational, and others. Some of these are oriented toy' the study of science as a system of knowledge while otb rs are oriented towards analysis of science as a social institution, a specif:? sphere of social activity. The sociological aspect of the study of science, one of the central ones, examines science as a developing social institution, as an historically conditioned mode of activity. In their most general form the sociological problems of science include 2/7 GVISHTANI. D.

Of these problems, that of the structure of scien- tific cadre is of major significance. The importance of this problem is due to the fact that the rational structure of scientific cadres is a major factor in improving the efficiency of science. At the same time the structure of scientific cadre is one of the most important characteristics of the state of science and the directions of change. The level and forms of cadre structure development to a considerable ex- tent effect the unity and continuity of the cycle "science-production".... In recent years there have been many books and articles dedicated to the problems of the formation of the scientific-technical intelligentsia in the USSR and to various aspects of the problems of training, structure, and dynamics of scientific cadre. However, many aspects of these changes in scientific cadre structure under the condi- tions of the scientific-technical revolution have not been well studied.

PROBLEMY VRACHEBNYKH KADROV (Problems of Medical Cadres), Moscow, Meditsina Publish- irg House, 1974, 288 pp. [Text] Annotation The book is devoted to theoretical, methodological, and organizational questions of planning and forecasting public health and to problems of medical cadres in the USSR, the socialist countries, and the economically developed capitalist countries. The work considers the problems of developing specialized medical care for the popu- lation and differentiating and integrating medical specializations. The need for improved specialist training is emphasized. Several methods of makirg a systems analyeis estimate of the level of medical care to the urban and rural population, of the placement and use of doctors, and of their availability by branches of public health and specialization are presented. The book also deals with questions of optimizing the organizational forms of medical care and orppnizing the labor of specialist-doctors. The author treats a number of methodological problems which arise when forecasting demographic processes, laws of the incidence of disease, and the level and nature of 1/5 POPOV, 0. A., PROBLEMY VRACHEBNYKH KADROV, Meditsina Publishing House. 197u, 288 pp dispensary care and preventive service to the population. The treatment of the questions permits the author to approach the methodological premises for mathema- tical modeling of the factors which determine the need for medical care and for specialist-doctors. Moreover, he establishes algorithmic norms which can be used (models and algorithms) to construct diffe-ential norms of public need for medical care and specialist-doctors. The book also considers a few features of the position of public health workers and their placement and use, as well as the problem of the need for medical cadres and attempts to find them in the economically developed capitalist countries. The work will unquestionably be interesting to a broad range of public health organ- izers, scientific workers, people who are developing automated control systems for public health, planning workers, and teachers and students at medical institutions of higher learning and institutes for advanced study by doctors.

(Editor) SOTSIAL'NO-PSIKHOLOGICHESKIYE PROBLEMY NAUKI (Social -Psychological Problems of Science), Moscow, Nauka Publishing House, 1973, 252 pp The complex processes of the development of modern knowledge, the new types of organizational relationships, and change in the ratios between the formal and in- formal aspects of the scientist's activity force every participant in science (and especially those who have the functions or organizing and administering research) to resolve social-psychological problems. For effective solutions to these problems there must be a solid foundation in the science of science. Theoretical and experi- mental development of this foundation has now bemin at a number of research centers. The productivity of such developmental work is determined above all by methodologi- cal orientation. Soviet science of science is based on Marxist methodology, the principles of the historical approach, the doctrine that scientific concepts, models, and categories reflect nature, and on the treatment of science as a socially determ- inistic system whose structures and content record progress in social-historical practice. Accordingly, the intellectual, motivational, and other psychological traits 1/5 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 1 Apr 75 68 YAROSHEVSKIY, M. 0., SOTSIALINO-PSIKHOLOOICHESKIYE PROBLEMY NAU''Zi, Nauka Publishing House, 1973, 252 pp of particular scientists and groups of scientists require identification of their social-historical premises. The uniqueness of scientific activity at the "microlevel" cannot be understood out- side of large-scale social processes. The "small group" is a nonautonomous, self- enclol:ed system whose functioning characteristics are revealed from the system itself. The basic research collective, the behavior of its members, and their interpersonal relations initially depend on the social whole. Under conditions of socialist so- ciety science is created by people with a progressive world view, people who are inspired by the ideals of nerving social progress. It is natural that these ideologi- cal principles influence the position of scientists in not only the system of social in the broad sense) relations, but also in specifically scientific relations. The achievements of Soviet science include not only its universally known contribu- tions to the development of a number of fundamental problems, but als: our exper- ience in training highly skilled cadres, organizing research, and establ:shing an optimal scientific climate for creative work at leading scientific researcti insti- tutions. YAROSHEVSKIY, M. G. , SOTSIAL'NO-PSIKHOiOGICHESKIYE PROBLEMY NAUKI, Nauka Publishing House, 1973, 252 pp The 24th CPSU Congress, going deeply into the tasks of further developing scientific research under conditions of a developed socialist society and defining these tasks concretely, emphasized that increasing research effectiveness depends on the creative activism of scientific workers thelrselves. This requires that the theoretical pre- requisites for organizing scientific labor be worked out. The authors of this collection have set as their task throwing light upon timely social-psychological problems of scientific creativity relying on analysis of con- crete forms of communication and interaction by scientists at one of the fundamental research centers of the Academy of Science USSR and investigating a number of timely, practically important social-psychological aspects of science (concerni:-g scientific communications, the motivation and rtimulation of creativity, ratios between formal and nonformal relations, social and subject adaptation by young scientists, the re- ception and evaluation of scientific achievements, and others) using concrete material. In their treatment of empirical material the author collective, which consists basi- cally of associates of the Sector of Problems of Scientific Creativity at the Institute of the History of Natural Science and Technology of the USSR Academy of Sciences, has tried to employ a comprehensive approach to the phenomena studied, considering them 3/5 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 YAROSHEVSKIY, M.

USSR ANTROPOV, P., Yelgava ALL-UNION SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH INSTITUTE FOR THE APPLICATION OF POLYMERIC MATERIALS IN LAND RECLAMATION AND WATER ECONOMY [Text] The Latvian Scientific Research Institute of Hydraulic Engineering and Re- clamation was given a new name of the All-Union Scientific Research Institute for the Application of Polymeric Materials in Land Reclamation and Water Economy. The tasks of the Institute were widened. Scientists of the Institute are now engaged in the elaboration not only of problems of reclamation but also of those of irrigation. The Institute was entrusted with the coordination of scientific research of other institutions of the country in these domains. It also carries out a number of joint investigations with scientists of CMEA. Polymeric products developed by the Institute find increasing application both in our Republic,and-the entire Soviet Union. The reclamation engineers have highly appraised, for example, the connecting pieces from polyethylene for the closed drainage. These products alleviate the labor-consuming character of work in padding the drainage 1/2 USSR ANTROPOV, P., SOVETSKAYA LATVIYA 24 Sep 74 p 4 systems and increase its effectiveness. For packing purposes a special filtering tape is produced, which replaces the scarce and short-lived moss. The Institute has organized the experimental production of spirally coiled plastic tubes to be used for packing collectors of the closed drainage. These novelties are undergoing the check-up on the experimental farm of the Institute, "Peterniyeki, and in other kolkhozes and sovkhozea of the Republic.

USSR TASS INSTITUTE OF RADIOPHYSICS AND ELECTRONICS, UKRAINIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES Moscow PRAVDA in Russian 14 Jan 75 p 3 (Text] Using the world's biggest radiotelescope, UTR-2, installed near Kharrkov, scientists of the Institute of Padiophysics and Electronics of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences have discovered new peculiarities in the behavior of pulsars--the super- dense neutron stars. Despite cosmic noises and terrestrial interferences, the specialists succeeded in catching and clearly fixing the "voice" of pulsars. The radio-wave pulses of these distant cosmic objects for the first time were recorded and studied on frequencies of 10-25 MHz, a range previously considered unpromising for investigations. It was found that vulsars--the rapidly revolving stars with a density of matter of hundred thousands and millions of tons in a cubic centimeter-- periodically emit not a single, as was considered before, but several different radio-wave pulses. 24.

It belongs to a class of industrial units of a new generation and represents an intricate complex of modern equipment working in line with an electronic computer. An important peculiarity of "Photor" is its un i- versality. With its aid, using powerful accelerators, one can perform investigations of a large class of phenomena. The work of "Photon" resembles the work of eyes. It is intended for "viewing" the internal world of elementary particles. In the same way as eyes catch light photons and convert visual imagers to signals sent to the brain, the "Photon" unit with great precision and 100 percent efficiency is capable of intercepting electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength a billion times shorter than the wavelength of light photons and directing information on characteristics of this radiation through cables 00200110016-2 Approved For Release 1999/09/26 : CIA-RDP86T00608R000200110016-2 1 Apr ?5 80 FPD:SOVIET SCIENCE to an electronic computer.

Hungary DR NANDOR KISS Budapest MAGYAR RADTOLOUTA in Hul..sarian Vol 26 No 6, Dec 74 p 384 [Text] We find It difficult to realize that Dr Nandor Kiss, chief phys.Lcian and active member of the Association of Hurgarian Radiologists, died suddenly at the age s of 75, performing the duties of his practice until the last minute. He started h i s career as a medical officer in the armed services; dur'ng this service, in the late 1930'x, he underwent training as a radiologist in the institute under Prof Kelen. During the years following liberation, he worked first at Vass-Street Hospital and then at the surgical clinic on Baross Stree`. He has been untiringly active in setttng up and leading t'le X-ray departments of the fr,cilities located at Madach I. Square and May 1 R..oa. He was the radiologist of Szei.'etet [Love] Hospital after his retirement. Dr Nandor Kiss spent time on scientific endeavors in addition to his practice, which required much effort. Among his publication,., those dealing with various aspects of gastroenterology are the most valuable. He was a humble human being, and a real humanist; as such he earned the loyalty and love of his coworkers and patients. At his bier, Dr Istvan Irto, physician-in-chief, secretary of the Association of Hungarian Radiologists, delivered the eulogy, and r;eposited the wreath of our Association. We shall remember him with reverence. May he rest in peace! 2.
