Ralph is the Foundation Chair in Aging and Alzheimer's Disease within the School of Medical and Health Sciences.

Background

Professor Ralph Martins, Foundation Chair in Aging and Alzheimer’s Disease at Edith Cowan University, was appointed the Director of the Centre.  Ralph Martins graduated from University of Western Australia with a PhD in 1986. In 1987 he won a scholarship to Heidelberg University to work with Konrad Beyreuther. His collaborative seminal research involved isolating and characterising beta-amyloid and its precursor, the amyloid precursor protein (APP), which are now recognized as central to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

He was the first to propose and demonstrate that the Alzheimer brain was under oxidative stress, which is now widely recognized by the Alzheimer research community. In 1989 he joined Professor Masters at Melbourne University where he was the first to isolate and characterize the molecular components of the neuropathological hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. This led to an international patent and formation of a spin-off company, Alzhyme Pty Ltd. In 2001 he won a Media Fellowship with the ABC and was the first Media Fellow to have his work on the Science Show. In 2002 he won a Biotechnology Innovation Fund grant, which was matched by commercial funding. He established the Sir James McCusker Alzheimer’s Research Unit at Hollywood Hospital, whose research is directed at the cause(s), and development of diagnostics and treatments. He received the UWA "Excellence in Teaching Award - Post Graduate Research" for 2002 and in 2003 was appointed Senior Editor, for the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease and Editorial Board Member for Current Drug Targets CNS & Neurological Disease.

Edith Cowan University appointed him to the Inaugural Chair, Ageing and Alzheimer’s Disease in 2004. He has Adjunct Professorial positions and close ties with clinical academics with both the University of Western

In his foreword to the book, journalist Talat Hussain calls its subject “one of the biggest national stories of our times.” But Tanya Anand’s The Game Changer – A Brief History of Television in Pakistan is more CliffsNotes than a story, let alone a true study.

This is all the more tragic because of Anand’s own credentials. A former TV and film producer, director and distributor, she studied film and media management in Canada as well as the UK. And, to top it off, film runs in her blood (she is the daughter of Eveready Group of Companies’ Satish Anand; granddaughter of film producer J.C. Anand).

To be fair, Anand tries her best to address the very significant issues she flags: the impact of liberalisation on media owners, audiences, advertisers and public space. But her grand ambition is woefully let down by the erratic selection of source material and the consequent noodle soup of opinion-factoid-hearsay.

While she correctly highlights the paucity of published reference material, her dependence on articles and interviews published in magazines (Aurora, primarily) and newspapers – supplemented by references to Wikipedia and PTV marketing brochures – is jarring.

First, even the best researched pieces have journalists talking to specialists for insight into an industry, so why an insider would need to cite generalists quoting specialists to shore up her arguments is unclear. (This reliance is all the more puzzling since personal access to most of the people mentioned would presumably not have been a problem for Anand.)

Second, while solid data can sex up even unsexy arguments, how can a reader who has just read pages and pages about the politicisation of PTV and its lack of independence, trust its figures on outreach, which are specifically designed to promote sales? (And equally inexplicably, why quote a nine-year-old interview of a media executive for the government’s claims regarding the GDP growth rate in 2005?)

Third, even where Anand

Pakistani actor (born 1994)

Haris Waheed (born 2 January 1994) is a Pakistani actor. Waheed is best known for portraying the role of Waqas Jutt in Momina Duraid's and Johns Hopkins University Center for Communication Programs drama serial Sammi, Zafar in Do Bol and Ilyas in Momina Duraid's And Kashf Foundation drama serial Udaari. All three of which are Pakistani dramas, for which he received numerous accolades and recognition from the audience. More recently he portrayed Tabraiz Murad Ali Shah From Jaan-e-Jahan.

Personal life

Waheed was born on 2 January 1994 to Kashmiri family in Karachi. His Great-grandfather, Abdul Majeed Butt, was married to famous Indian actress Munawar Sultana both separated during Majeed's migration to Pakistan after the Partition of India. Haris Waheed married to Pakistani actress, Maryam Fatima on 23 May 2018. However, the couple divorced in 2022.

Career

Haris started his career as theater actor in National Academy of Performing Arts where he enrolled to complete his graduation in Acting, Screenwriting, and Directing. However, he did not complete his graduation but he has been an active part of International Theater Festival of Napa where he assisted Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak.He acted in numerous plays for Napa and as well for other productions including Musical theatre Avanti.He made guest appearance with Momina Duraid'sSadqay Tumhare and later made his television debut in Momina Duraid'sAlvida in 2015, Directed by Shahzad Kashmiri. In 2016, Waheed starred as lead in Shaam Dhalay aired on Geo TV.^[8

Iron is an essential micronutrient for almost all living organisms because of it plays critical role in metabolic processes such as DNA synthesis, respiration, and photosynthesis. Further, many metabolic pathways are activated by iron, and it is a prosthetic group constituent of many enzymes. An imbalance between the solubility of iron in soil and the demand for iron by the plant are the primary causes of iron chlorosis. Although abundant in most well-aerated soils, the biological activity of iron is low because it primarily forms highly insoluble ferric compounds at neutral pH levels. Iron plays a significant role in various physiological and biochemical pathways in plants. It serves as a component of many vital enzymes such as cytochromes of the electron transport chain, and it is thus required for a wide range of biological functions. In plants, iron is involved in the synthesis of chlorophyll, and it is essential for the maintenance of chloroplast structure and function. There are seven transgenic approaches and combinations, which can be used to increase the concentration of iron in rice seeds. The first approach involves enhancing iron accumulation in rice seeds by expressing the ferritin gene under the control of endosperm-specific promoters. The second approach is to increase iron concentrations in rice through overexpression of the nicotianamine synthase gene (NAS). Nicotianamine, which is a chelator of metal cations, such as Fe and zinc (Zn), is biosynthesized from methionine via S-adenosyl methionine synthase. The third approach is to increase iron concentrations in rice and to enhance iron influx to seeds by expressing the Fe- nicotianamine transporter gene OsYSL2. The fourth approach to iron biofortification involves enhancing iron uptake and translocation by introducing genes responsible for biosynthesis of mugineic acid family phytosiderophores (MAs). The fifth approach to enhance iron uptake from soil is the over expression of the OsIR
