Bangladesh

Antibiotics in chicken SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being Food security The residue level of different antibiotics (tetracycline, oxytetracycline and chlortetracycline) were determined in broiler chicken meat, at a limit of quantification of 0.13-0.56 ng/g. The maximum residue levels (MRL) are 200 ng/g according to the Bangladesh Food Safety Authority (2017) and CODEX Alimentarius for human health protection. None of the antibiotics were detected in the meat samples. (IPICS BAN:04)

Quality of azithromycin SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being Pharmaceutics Azithromycin is an antibiotic heavily used in Bangladesh for infections caused by bacteria. The quality of tablets from nine manufacturers was investigated, and the indicated content of the active ingredient was verified in all cases. (IPICS BAN:04)

Contaminants in marine and fresh-water fish SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being Food security SDG 14 –Life Below Water Environmental Chemistry Thirteen marine fish and twelve fresh-water fish samples from different super markets in Dhaka were examined regarding the level of 20 organochlorine pesticides (OPCs), heavy metals, microplastics All OPCs were below the permitted level set by EC, 2004 and FAO/WHO, 2016. In the marine fish, all the metals concentrations were below the permitted limit set by FAO/WHO 2004 as well as the Bangladesh Food Act 1983 and Food Regulations 1985, whereas a few of the fresh-water fish had concentrations exceeding the MRLs. Eight of the marine fish samples were suspected to contain microplastics, and a variety of microplastics were identified in the fresh- water fish. (IPICS BAN:04)

Contamination by leather industries SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation Environmental Chemistry SDG 14 – Life Below Water Environmental Chemistry SDG 15 – Life on Land Environmental Chemistry Leather industries may pose serious threats to the environment due to the dumping of both solid and liquid wastes into the environment. In this study, chromium (Cr) concentrations of soil and water samples from Dhaleshwari river bank near to the Savar Tannery Estate (STE) were examined. The Cr was found to be significantly higher in soil (39 to almost 700 mg/kg) compared to water (< 0.005 mg/L). Water samples were collected from the surface level and may have been diluted due to the high flow in the river. (IPICS BAN:04)

The device applied very low power Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) non-invasively, and a preliminary study on about 50 patients, performed in 2019, showed success in almost 95% of the cases. (IPPS BAN:04)

Novel magnetic materials SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Materials physics: magnetism The group studied the structural and magnetic properties of four compositions of V2O5 added Li- Co ferrite. It is observed that the average grain size of the synthetized materials is higher for the samples with lower Cobalt content. It was concluded that the substitution of cobalt and addition of V2O5 in Li-Ferrites yields appreciable changes in their magnetic properties and qualifies these for future applications in electronic and magnetic devices. (IPPS BAN:05)

Novel materials: Carbon nanoparticles from candle SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Nanomaterials Incomplete combustion of commercial candle with controlled air flow has been used to search for a cost-effective method to synthesize carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) from cheap, available local resources. The investigations revealed that the prepared CNPs (of around 50 nm in size) were almost free of any contamination and consist of a mixture of elemental carbon and a trace amount of hydrocarbon. (IPPS BAN:05)

(IPICS ETH:02) Kenya

Filtration membranes for water purification SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation Chemical and Materials Physics Diatomaceous earth (DE) waste mixed with charcoal employed in the design of an efficient and effective water filtration membrane capable of eliminating pathogens from water. An organic binder derived from a vegetable plant (Corchorus olitorius locally known as “Mrenda”) was used to

3 enhance the mechanical strength of the membrane. The DE Waste-based membranes were about 15% stronger than clay-based ceramic membranes prepared under similar conditions. Thus, the DE Waste and Corchorus olitorius binder are potential materials in fabricating mechanically enhanced ceramic membranes. A firing temperature of 900° C was found to be the optimal firing temperature that produced a porous membrane capable of filtering more than 4 liters of water per hour and effective in removal of viruses such as rotavirus from water. (IPPS KEN:02) (IPPS MSSEESA) Photocatalitic water purification SDG 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation Chemical and Materials Physics Studies on the optical characterization of Co:ZnO films fabricated by anodization for photocatalytic purification of water were performed. The objectives of the study were to fabricate zinc oxide (ZnO) with pigment with different cobalt concentrations by varying the deposition time and to investigate the cobalt pigmented ZnO performance in the degradation of methylene blue under UV light irradiation. ZnO film pigmented with Cobalt for 20 s was found to have the highest rate constant and hence the optimum cobalt concentration for photocatalytic water treatment. (IPPS KEN:03) (IPPS MSSEESA)

Photocatalytic properties of anodized titanium dioxide SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Chemical and Materials Physics The network performed a preparation and characterization of photocatalytic copper pigmented anodized titanium dioxide thin films. The anodic thin films were pigmented with copper in form of a sulphate to enhance their photocatalytic activity. This lead to applications for the production of hydrogen (H2) for batteries. Catalysis is an important step in the manufacture of materials and medicines at the industrial level, as having better catalysts means reduced production costs and production times. (IPPS KEN:03) (IPPS MSSEESA) (IPMS SEAMaN) Heavy metal uptake in grains and leaves SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being Environmental Chemistry A study of the heavy metals uptake in Zea mays grains and leaves in diverse agro-ecological farms in Homa Bay County, Kenya, showed that the average concentrations of Zn, Co and Cu were below the acceptable FAO/WHO standards for both Zea mays grains and leaves, whereas Cd and Pb concentrations were slightly above.

Spectroscopic methods to discover non-thermal sources (blazar) SDG 4 – Quality Education Astrophysics Due to the presence of a strong non-thermal component inside their jets, blazars are found to display a weaker depression at 4000 Å (K4000<0.4). The network conducted a study for the determination of the K4000 break for selected sample among the potential blazar candidates from unidentified EGRET sources to confirm their blazar nature. The 3EG J1800-0146, 3EG J1709-0817 and 3EG J0159- 3603 associated with radio counterparts, J1802-0207, J1713-0817 and J0156-3616, respectively were choosen. Their optical spectra were obtained through observations using the Robert Stobie Spectrograph (RSS) at the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) in South Africa. The depression observed in the spectrum of 3EG J0159-3603 is not consistent with what is expected for a non- thermal source (blazar), implying that this source may not be a blazar. For the other two candidates, the spectral results seem to confirm their blazar nature. This contributes to our understanding of the universe. (IPPS RWA:01) (IPPS EAARN)

Mathematical modelling of cardio vascular respiratory system SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being Mathematics and health A new mathematical model of human cardio-vascular-respiratory system responses to exercise in Rwanda that can be used by medical practitioners to, for example, regulate the intensity and type of

Optimization of dopants concentration of CdS thin films for improved solar cell SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy Energy efficiency Chemical Bath Deposition (CBD) at dopants concentrations in the 0-0.005 M in order to obtain improved materials for solar cells. The study determined that the optimum transmittance was obtained at the concentration of 0.002 M of Ga. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and x-ray diffractometry (XRD) results showed that the increase in dopant led to an increase in the grain size which may result in an increase in short circuit current and consequently improve the performance efficiency of the cell. (IPPS TAN:01/2) (IPPS MSSEESA) Heavy metals in farmed vs wild fish SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being Environmental Chemistry Concentrations of lead and other metals were higher in wild fish than in farmed fish, indicating that farmed fish may be healthier for human consumption than wild fish.

Solar thermal energy: Designing efficient and appropriate solar cookers systems SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy Energy efficiency A study of solar thermal energy storage was carried out by developing and testing a double wall cooking unit integrated to the thermal energy storage using sun flower oil as both heat storage material and heat transfer fluid. A comparison was done for fuel consumption for a normal meal using different fuel-stove mix combinations. The results showed that a lower flow rate of 6 ml/s gives a balance between cooking rate and the heat loss to the ambient. The findings of this study can be used as a strategy to design solar cookers systems with thermal energy storage. (IPPS UGA:01)

Al doped ZnO films as back contacts in solar cells SDG 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy Energy efficiency Studies of reactive direct current sputtering of Al-doped ZnO (AZO) films as back contacts in solar cells were performed. The experimental results showed that by adopting appropriately experimental set up parameters and controlling the oxygen gas flow rate, homogeneous transparent conductive AZO films could be deposited by reactive direct current sputtering on a glass substrate from Zn0.98Al0.02 alloyed target. The aluminium thin films should be deposited at small angles to ensure minimum sheet resistance thus making them more ideal as back contacts in solar cells. (IPPS UGA:01)

Metallicity effects on pulsation of red giant stars in Kepler clusters SDG 4 – Quality Education Astrophysics The network conducted a study on the effect of Metallicity on Pulsation of Red Giant Stars in Kepler Clusters motivated by the fact that metallicity has been observed to affect granulation activity in red giant stars (RGs). A total of 67 red giant stars (NGC 6791, NGC 6819, NGC 6811, and NGC 6866) in the Kepler clusters were analysed. Using Kepler photometric data, several asteroseismic parameters were determined. It was found that metallicity has an effect on pulsation in RGC stars

5 but not in RGB stars in the Kepler Clusters. This contributes to our understanding of the universe and increases the cultural level of society. (IPPS EAARN)

Binary δ-scuti stars in NGC 6866 and NGC 6819 Kepler open clusters SDG 4 – Quality Education Astrophysics The network conducted a study on the identification of binary δ-scuti stars in NGC 6866 and NGC 6819 Kepler clusters using time-series Kepler data. The results for the identification of δ-scuti stars indicated that out of the 38 target δ-Scuti stars in NGC 6866 and NGC 6819 open clusters, 27 were found to have at least one independent and stable pulsation frequency. The time delay analysis classified 23 of the 27 δ-Scuti stars as members of binary systems. Their orbital periods calculated range between 10 days and 1775 days. The semi-major axes for majority of them fell below 1 AU. These investigations provide novel detailed information about stars in Kepler clusters, shedding light on stars evolution. This contributes to our understanding of the universe and increases the cultural level of society. (IPPS EAARN)

Machine learning in astrophysics SDG 4 – Quality Education Astrophysics Studies addressed planet population synthesis by probing the physical performance of planet formation models. The synthetic planet population considered was also subjected to in-depth statistical analysis using machine learning approach. The relative abundances of different types of planets were calculated using probability distributions obtained via machine learning which proves its validity as a novel research method in astrophysics. (IPPS EAARN)

Mathematics and agriculture SDG 2 – Zero Hunger Product Control SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production Product Control The research activity in agriculture has been helpful to farmers and the National Agricultural Research Organisation especially in the control of the banana wilt disease. Results show that in absence of tool-mediated spread, the transmission rate by vectors and the roguing rate determine the long term behavior of the disease. Vertical transmission from mother plant to attached sucker is found to be less significant in disease dynamics. Further more, results show that tool-mediated spread can not cause an epidemic by itself but it is dependent on other factors such as plantation infection status, bacteria load on the machete and on how pruning activities are carried out. In a mixed cultivar plantation with both high and low susceptible cultivars, results show that control measures should be applied uniformly else BXW cannot be eradicated even with best practices in one cultivar. Seasonal variation affects disease dynamics as increased rainfall lowers disease progression rate and leads to increased infection rate. Results further show that among the cultural control practices including debudding, disinfection of tools, use of clean planting materials and roguing (single disease stem removal), a combination of debudding and roguing if effectively implemented leads to reasonable reduction in disease prevalence. The controls need to be maintained even with undetectable levels of infection else any relaxation may result in disease resurgence. (IPMS EAUMP)

Pharmaceuticals: An ecotoxicological risk for Lake Victoria SDG 14 – Life Below Water Environmental Chemistry The occurrence of 24 pharmaceuticals was investigated in water samples collected from four bays in the Ugandan part of Lake Victoria, and the potential environmental risk of the target pharmaceutical compounds to aquatic organisms was assessed. Eighteen of the 24 pharmaceuticals occurred at quantifiable concentrations, which were highest in Murchison Bay, the main recipient of sewage effluents, industrial and municipal waste from Kampala city. Ecotoxicological risk assessment showed that sulfamethoxazole, oxytetracycline, erythromycin, and diclofenac pose a high toxic risk to aquatic organisms in the lake, while ciprofloxacin, norfloxacin, and ibuprofen pose a medium risk.

1.7 Continued work to promote gender equality

In 2015, ISP has introduced ear-marked extra funds for activities designed for promoting an increased gender equality and balance in mathematics and physics at the supported institutions; i.e. the Gender Equality Grants. The maximum amount is 30,000 SEK/year over a three-year period. In 2019, 18 projects were granted this funding. Of these 18 grants, 13 were assigned to groups and networks within physics and 4 within mathematics. Last year also saw the start of the new supported network, Eastern Africa Network for Women in Basic Sciences (EANWoBAS) which is coordinated from Uganda but also include female mathematicians and physicists from Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda and Zambia. The total ISP budget for the gender equality promoting activities was 684 300 SEK and of these funds 624 300 SEK were used. However, some groups organized activities with their own budget, using project allocations (IPPS KEN:02, IPPS ZAM:01, and many chemistry groups). As in the previous years, these grants allowed for an impressive variety of activities targeting gender bias at different education levels. These grants, even if representing only a very little part of the total budget that the groups dispose during the year, have been catalysts for focusing on gender issues. The groups spontaneously report that they achieved several different goals within the gender work, and in many cases, they used own funds to complete or organized even better activities than planned. As ISP was hoping the variety of activities targeted the dire local needs. Examples of projects organized during last year include financial supports to female MSc/PhD students, summer schools, training programs for high school students for inspiring girls to study science, research internship for undergraduate and master female students for retention, workshops and mentorships for university students, gender education and gender awareness in teaching and in leadership, research visits abroad, and equipment purchases. The gender grants have created substantial dynamics. The EANWoBAS network and many other supported groups targeted the many important aspects that need to be addressed for a comprehensive gender work, including so called including efforts in improving the working environment to allow the female students/researchers to continue their career in academy (BAN02/2). ISP is well aware of the need to increase the visibility of the gender activities that were carried out, to encourage and inspire the groups and networks that have not yet applied for earmarked funds. There is also a wish from the grantees to increase the amount of the grant to further boost the impact. ISP will focus on these issues during the coming years and will also have a one-day event dedicated to gender issues during the ISP 60th Anniversary in 2021.

The following activities were among those carried out in 2019 using the Gender Equality Grants:

• A conference for young female scientists was organized at the National Polytechnic Institute in Yamousoukro (Ivory Coast), with seminars, laboratory visits and hands-on experiments. The aim was to encourage female students to embrace research in Physics. About 60 female students praticipated in the activities. (IPPS AFSIN)

• The group supports a female PhD position (Marie Curie scholarship) that started in 2018 and is still running at Dhaka Unviersity, Bangladesh. (IPPS BAN:04)

• ISP funds has been used to enroll three female PhD students in mathematics at University Joseph Ki-Zerbo, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso (IPMS BURK:01)

19

• This group in Burkina Faso initiated a group of female students at the different level of education (undergraduate, MSc and PhD students) for mentoring and training and also for identyfing the needs that the female students can have. In this regard, one of the students got a computer as support. In December, a workshop was organized to boost the soft skill of these students and train the scientific methodology. (IPPS BUF:01)

• The regional gender network EANWoBAS obtained the first project allocation (199 300 SEK) in 2019. The network joins mathematicians, physicists and gender researchers form different countries (Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania and Zambia) together. The budget allowed many outreach activities in primary schools and high schools, often in the more remote regions of Uganda where students and in particular girls do not continue to higher education and where the drop-off rate girls is already high at high school level. Starting from this year (2020) the network will diversify and increase the number of activities at the different nodes, using the acquired experience. Mentorship programs for students, workshops for staff and teachers have also already been organized and run. (ISP EANWoBAS) (IPMS EAUMP)

Conference for female scientists organized at the National Polytechnic Institute in Yamousoukro, Ivory Coast.

• ISP funds have been used for implementing a new scholarship program for talented females to continue, from the undergraduate program, to the MSc program.Currently the Dept of Mathematics at Addis Ababa University is sponsoring one female candidate who will soon defend her MSc thesis. Part of the funds has also been used for motivate females to join mathematics and other basic sciences. The Dept of Mathematics organized a workshop titled ”The use of mathematics in other sciences” for female secondary school mathematics from December 23-27, 2019. (IPMS ETH:01)

• A five-week training program was organized in Ethiopia for 20 high school students (50% females) on code writing, scientific measurements, conducting simple physics experiments

20 and writing lab reports to make physics more accessible for students. (IPPS ETH:01)

• This group in Kenya organized meetings of Women in Physical Sciences Forum for motivating discussions. The group also organized a mentorship day with three senior female faculty members to address different career paths. The team also managed to visit three girls’ schools in three Kenyan counties. The school girls were very happy because most of them were not sure that they could pursue sciences due to belief that they are very difficult disciplines. (IPPS KEN:01/2)

• This Kenyan group has an improved gender balance among the students with now seven females among 17 students (41%). Some of the students and the staff were engaged in mentoring undergraduate female students at the 1st and 2nd year of the Bachelor program to motivate them to continue in physics. The group also offered a three-month internship to three promising 3rd year BSc students to conduct research under the wings of the current PhD/MSc students to arise their interest in research and further studies. The group organized visits to Girls’ High Schools to popularize physics. This group used the project budget to finance outreach activities and the other activities. (IPPS KEN:02)

• The 2nd UoN-MSSEESA Career Mentorship Workshop targeting undergraduate students at lower levels (1st and 2nd year BSc General – students registered in more than one subject in years 1 and 2), Chiromo Campus, Nairobi, Kenya, was organized in April 2019: the workshop had more than 75 participants. The supported group also sponsored five promising 3rd year BSc students (4 females and 1 male) for three months (May to August) internship in the group. These activities have seen the number of BSc (physics Majors) more than tripled, that is 8 (2 females) in 2017/18; 21 (5 females) in 2018/19; and 37 (9 females) in 2019/2020 academic years. The number of females seems to be increasing in the short term, this would result in more females in future postgraduate classes. (IPPS KEN:02) (IPPS MSSEESA)

• An event was organized at the University of Eldoret, Kenya with 50 female student participants. The aim of the meeting was to popularize physics discipline to female students. The Vice-Chancellor Prof Akenga presented her keynote address on “Successful women in STEM” and enlightened women’s potential to break the glass ceiling and emerge powerhouse in their respective STEM professions. (IPPS KEN:03) (IPPS MSSESA)

• The group is part of the EANWoBAS network and organized the First Regional Workshop on Gender Equality in STEM (28-29 November) in Nairobi, Kenya. This event could be considered as the launch of the Kenya node of the network. The theme of the event was ”Harnessing Women and Girls Potential in STEM”. The workshop aimed at addressing the gender gap in STEM through initiatives that can inspire and nurture the interest in STEM among girls at a very early age, while motivating women at tertiary level to avoid falls in the cracks of the leaky pipeline in the STEM careers. The target audience consisted of high school and university students, high school teachers, university lecturers and researchers, STEM professionals and stakeholders from six African countries (Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Nigeria, Ghana and Cameroon). During the two days, the invited speakers and panelists created awareness on barriers girls and women continue to encounter in their participation in STEM, brainstormed on targeted solutions to fully harness their underutilized potential and shared opportunities for girls and women in the STEM fields. Visibility was given to women participating in STEM fields, to share their role in using STEM research to solve continent’s biggest challenges and advance development.

• The group at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania has organized the 4th Science Camp for A-level female students taking Physics and Mathematics. This event has been organized annually since 2016. The goal of the camp is to increase the number of females joining higher learning institutions taking engineering and science related degree programs. (IPPS TAN:01/2) (IPPS MSSEESA)

• The number of female graduates has increased and more are now applying for graduate studies; every year, the Dept of Physics at Makerere University admits at least one female student at MSc. This trend is expected to continue. Currently there are three female students (one PhD and two MSc) in the group, working with research on solar energy. During the period 3-10 July, a team of staff member has organized visits to four schools in Northern Uganda where most students normally do not progress further with their education and especially female students who are often encouraged by some of their relatives to marry. The specific objectives include: a) To create awareness amongst female students about their potential; b) To change the perception among students that sciences are hard and motivate them to pursue science subjects; c) To unveil to the student opportunities in science & technology and provide career guidance. d) To encourage and strengthen teachers to promote female students to undertake science education.

One of these schools is St. Katherine Senior Secondary School, with a population of about 1,200 girl students and with only four (4) offered Physics at Advanced level. Below are some of the photographs taken during the visit.

• This group in Uganda organized outreach visits to girls’ secondary schools. Each school was visited twice. The outreach activities focused on sensitization of female students about science and career opportunities in science. Astronomy was use as a tool to motivate and inspire girls to science. Career guidance and mentorship was also given to them. Meetings for undergraduate and postgraduate students were organized where opportunities for post- graduate study in mathematics and physics were discussed as well as employment opportunities. The obstacles female students are facing were also discussed together with the possible ways of overcoming such challenges. (IPPS UGA:02)

• ISP funds (NOTE: own budget not Gender Equality Grants) facilitated (financial support- wise) a distinguished female academic to visit the university and give a plenary talk on women in the Geosciences. Moreover, tuition in form of scholarships to at least five female candidates for the MSc degree studies in Geophysics have been provided. These measures motivate female students to come on board.

43 APPENDIX 3. PUBLICATIONS

Below, publications are detailed for each program, chemistry, mathematics and physics, and summarized in tables. The bibliographic data given is obtained directly from the reporting of the supported activities, with only minor editing. The code of the ISP-supported activity that is reporting the publication is given after each entry. All publications reported to ISP are listed, independent of whether the scientific work has been directly supported by ISP funding or not. In cases where the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) code is given, information can be accessed by adding the code to the web address http://dx.doi.org/. For publications in scientific journals (but not for other publications), green color marking of the code denotes that acknowledgement of ISP support is given in the paper.8 Furthermore, the ISSN code of the publication is given, and when applicable two codes, in cases when the printed and the electronic issues have different codes. In all cases, each publication reported to ISP is never intentionally listed twice in the annual reports; if the electronic article is listed; the listing is not repeated when the printed version is published.

Scientific Quality Journals and Other Journals

The publications are sorted by scientific journal, and where available the Thomson Reuters (TR) Impact Factor (IF) 2018 is given (with the 5-year Impact Factor within brackets).9 Journals listed with TR IF are here considered to be “scientific quality journals”. From 2016, an additional quality measure is applied, comprising the ranking in the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers, maintained by the Norwegian Centre for Research Data (NCRD). Where available, the rank is given in brackets, between the journal name and any TR IF. The Norwegian scale stretches from 0–2. Journals ranked at 0 (sometimes indicated “-“) are not categorized as a scientific publication venues, those ranked at 1 being a scientific publication venue, and those at 2 being extra prestigious scientific publication venues.10 The data are based on search on journals’ ISSN. Where no rank is given, the ISSN was not recognized in the database. Journals ranked 1 or 2 are here considered to be “scientific quality journals”, while those ranked 0/- and those not listed as “other journals”. In this report, articles in journals listed in Web of Science with TR IF or ranked at 1 or 2 in the Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals, Series and Publishers are regarded as published in scientific quality journals. From 2018: Journals marked by asterisk (*) occur on Cabells Blacklist, indicating a “predatory”, non-scientific publication venue.11 Articles where ISP (or Sida, or an ISP-supported network) is acknowledged are indicated by a green activity code.
