Degree Congregations December 2010 the Inauguration of the University of Manchester The University of Manchester Degree Congregations December 2010 The Inauguration of The University of Manchester At midnight on 30 September 2004, UMIST and the Victoria University of Manchester were dissolved and the single institution of The University of Manchester came into existence. The formal Inauguration of the University took place on Friday, 22 October 2004 when Her Majesty The Queen visited the campus to personally present the University’s new Royal Charter to Co-Chancellor Anna Ford at a special ceremony held in the Whitworth Hall. The new institution has a distinguished heritage. It can trace its roots back to the formation of the Manchester Mechanics Institute in 1824, which later became UMIST. The Victoria University of Manchester was founded as Owens College in 1851 and became England’s first civic university in 1880. The two universities first began working together almost 100 years ago. They were situated on neighbouring campuses and this enabled them to develop a number of joint courses, departments and services. They took the decision to merge in 2003. The creation of The University of Manchester has been hailed as one of the boldest and most ambitious initiatives in higher education. This pioneering spirit carries on today, with the aim to become one of the world’s top 25 universities by 2015 backed by an ongoing £650 million investment programme in staff and facilities – the largest such investment programme in British higher education. From the President and Vice-Chancellor It is with immense pleasure that one of my first duties as the new President and Vice-Chancellor of our great University is to welcome you all – graduands, family members and friends – to The University of Manchester for this degree congregation. This is a time of celebration for all of us, and I hope very much that you will find it an enjoyable occasion. As each graduand is presented for conferment of their degree, the University shares with you all a great sense of pride. For those of you graduating today, these ceremonies mark not the end of your relationship with the University but the start of a new stage. It is my hope that the links between the University and you will grow ever stronger. I look forward to you becoming an active member of the University’s alumni body an wish you every success for the future. Finally, I hope that you all have a truly memorable day. Professor Dame Nancy Rothwell President and Vice-Chancellor 1 The Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences The Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences is large and The quality, breadth and volume of research activity at the Faculty of comprehensive with nine component schools: Chemical Engineering and Engineering and Physical Sciences is unrivalled. There are more than 70 Analytical Science; Chemistry; Computer Science; Earth, Atmospheric and specialist research centres and groups at the Faculty, each undertaking Environmental Sciences; Electrical and Electronic Engineering; Materials; pioneering research into areas ranging from nuclear decommissioning and Mathematics; Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering; and Physics nanotechnology to artificial intelligence and aerospace. and Astronomy. Together they offer a diverse portfolio of research and Research is at the heart of The University of Manchester's Faculty of teaching of the highest quality. Engineering and Physical Sciences. The 2008 Research Assessment Exercise Many of the major advances of the 20th century began here, including the revealed outstanding results, with all of our departments demonstrating work by Rutherford leading to the splitting of the atom and the international or national excellence. development of the world's first modern computer. Today, research activities remain at the cutting-edge and the Faculty now generates around £75 million in research funding a year. The Faculty of Humanities The Faculty of Humanities is the largest of the University’s four Faculties Major activities include the Centre for New Writing, the Institute for Social and encompasses academic areas as diverse as Arts, Education, Social Change, the Brooks World Poverty Institute, the Institute for Science, Ethics Sciences, Business and Management, and Information Technology. and Innovation, the Manchester Institute for Innovation Research, the Research Institute for Cosmopolitan Cultures, The Centre for Chinese With a total income of around £190 million per annum, more than 16,000 Studies, the Institute for Development Policy and Management, the Centre students and some 957 academic staff, it is equivalent to a medium-sized for Equity in Education and the Sustainable Consumption Institute. university in the UK. In the 2009 Research Assessment Exercise, Humanities was behind only The Faculty brings together seven schools: Manchester Business School; Oxford and Cambridge in the number of world-leading staff returned Arts, Histories and Cultures; Law; Social Sciences; Environment and (classified as 4*). 22% of its activity was classed as world leading and a Development; Languages, Linguistics and Cultures and Education, who all further 40% as internationally excellent. have an excellent track record for research and teaching. 2 The Faculty of Life Sciences The Faculty of Life Sciences is one of the largest and most successful The Faculty was ranked third in the country by quality alone in the two unified research and teaching organisations of its kind in Europe.

The Faculty's research encompasses the entire spread of life sciences from the molecule to the cell to the organism, spanning all fields of biology As such, the Faculty is able to conduct the highest quality research while from environmental studies to cancer biology, from neuroscience to post- maintaining an extensive range of undergraduate and graduate genomics, and from structural biology to organ transplantation. programmes, as well as vocational training. Rapid advances in molecular biology, structural biology, genomics and bioinformatics, will ensure that the life sciences will continue to dominate scientific discoveries in the 21st century. The Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences The Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences has a long and proud history of There is a strong organisational capability for undertaking cross-faculty innovative teaching and groundbreaking research, and is one of the largest teaching and research activity in partnership with the public sector and faculties of clinical and health sciences in Europe. industry. For example, in conjunction with four teaching hospitals, more than 300 GP practices and 25 district hospitals, the Faculty trains in excess of 350 The Faculty has five Schools – Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy and doctors each year. Similarly, in partnership with the Department of Health, it Pharmaceutical Sciences, Psychological Sciences, and Nursing, Midwifery and provides continuing professional development training for all 18,500 Social Work – with strong interdisciplinary links with other Schools and community pharmacists in England.

Some of the invested funds clearly involve unethical enterprises. Investigations into this statement are based on biblical principles and historical examples and progress through time to consider diverse influences involving the Church and its money. The aim of my thesis is to assess the impact of Church investments within a world of economics that encourages the accumulation of wealth yet often ignores the consequences for the Church and their effect upon the world. I begin my research by examining the principles for financial relationships and systems as established within the Bible.

  • HIV Twenty-Eight Years Later: What Is the Truth? Gary Null, Phd December 3, 2012
    HIV Twenty-Eight Years Later: What is the Truth? Gary Null, PhD December 3, 2012 In the May 4, 1984 issue of the prestigious journal Science, one of the most important research papers of the last quarter century was published. “Frequent Detection and Isolation of Cytopathic Retroviruses (HTLV-III) from Patients with AIDS and at Risk for AIDS” would rapidly become the medical Magna Carta for the entire gold rush to develop diagnostic methods to identify the presence of HIV in human blood and to invent pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines in a global war against AIDS. This paper, along with three others published in the same issue of Science, was written by Dr. Robert Gallo, then head of the Laboratory of Tumor Cell Biology (LTCB) at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in Bethesda, Maryland, and his lead researcher Dr. Mikulas Popovic. To this day, this article continues to document the most cited research to prove the HIV hypothesis in scientific papers and places like the nation’s Centers of Disease Control (CDC) website. For virologists, molecular biologists and other infectious disease researchers, particularly those tied to the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries and the national medical and health institutions, the news of Gallo’s discovery was manna rained down from heaven. All research into other possible causes for the AIDS crisis ended abruptly. As soon as the winds shifted away from earlier efforts to find the cause of AIDS —people’s lifestyles, immune suppressing illicit drug use and other health risks and illnesses that adversely affect the body’s immune system — to that of a single new virus, the case was closed.
