An important part of the new UKZN Strategy (2017- 2021) is the emphasis it places on growing the impact of the research that is produced at UKZN. Impact can be measured in terms of the influence our research has on the community in which we function, the manner in which it impacts on the policy environment but also the citations our published research attracts from the broader research community. This requires a focus on high impact journals and increasing the international collaborations, we engage with. These two factors alone will significantly strengthen the research profile of UKZN. Please use the opportunity afforded by this event to encourage all our students and academics to build their research profiles and to focus on the quality of the research produced to ensure that UKZN becomes well known for the transformative character of its research. Dr Albert van Jaarsveld, Vice-Chancellor and Principal: UKZN One of the most influential scientists of our modern times, Albert Einstein stated, “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?" Given the pace at which our world is changing, it is no wonder that the human race is rapidly under pressure to become experts – to know more and more about less and less. The big challenge for us is to rapidly discover, inform and implement our small and big discoveries to make real changes. We have economic, environmental, health and cultural questions to respond to, for the benefit of the present and future generations. The mission of UKZN is to be relevant to our local communities, South Africa and the world. Our postgraduate students have made it possible for UKZN to deliver on its mission. The College Research Day is a significant moment for UKZN to highlight the efforts and successes of our students and their supervisors. Every presentation on this day is valuable. We are thankful to all students who took time to share their knowledge with us. Professor Albert Modi, Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Acting): College of AES, UKZN 5 College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science Postgraduate Research and Innovation Day 2017 Westville Campus Welcome to the seventh College of Agriculture, Engineering and Science Postgraduate Research day organised this year by the School of Chemistry and Physics in collaboration with the College Public Relations team. We are striving to ensure that the research carried out by our postgraduate students is relevant to society and contributes to the wellbeing of South Africans. In doing so, we are actively seeking collaboration and partnerships with industry and with

This brings me to the controversial topic of walking /hiking with the aid of a walking stick or hiking poles. A lot of folk say it is not necessary, but at times using a walking stick makes sense. Let us look at walking sticks vs. hiking poles. Walking sticks are used individually, usually made from wood, decorated in some fashion showing its origin. Best used on flat terrain, but it is also good for support on uneven terrain, crossing water and when ascending or descending hills. The disadvantage is that one tends to overly lean to one side, which may cause a stumble or fall on terrain that is not flat. So, when using a walking stick, use it with the least amount of load on it. Hiking poles are usually designed in pairs, but can be used as a single pole. They have adjustable length and can be altered depending on the terrain. They usually have straps, but can be hazardous when falling- best not to use the straps. Hiking poles take pressure off the knees during steep descents, give extra security and grip. Because of their adjustability, for ascents length is reduced, for descents they can be lengthened.
