00:16:03Good evening to our dear viewers.
00:16:08Good evening of hope, work, and ambition. At the beginning of
00:16:11a new week, scenes of
00:16:14work and ambition are renewed, and spaces
00:16:17of hope expand through stations
00:16:20that reflect to them the most important developments on
00:16:22our national arena. Oman appears here every
00:16:26night vibrant with life, full
00:16:29of ambition, looking forward to a better
00:16:32tomorrow through the ambitions of the loyal
00:16:35people of Oman. We try to present to you, dear viewers, during
00:16:39this hour the most important achievements, the most important
00:16:42developments on our national arena, and this
00:16:46week, mashallah, is full of all these
00:16:49follow-ups. We will follow them, God willing, in every episode one after another. Sunday's episode
00:16:52always comes to you exceptionally from 8 PM
00:16:56to 9 PM because you have an appointment
00:16:59an hour from now with your program "Ask the People of
00:17:03Remembrance," and this hour is also full of many
00:17:06developments. We start it, dear viewers, with great happiness
00:17:10with an Omani national
00:17:13achievement. We talk through it about Omani seconds
00:17:16and a financial innovation that enhances the presence of the Sultanate of Oman
00:17:20regionally. This reflects the growing capabilities
00:17:23of Omani technical companies and other
00:17:26details that we will learn about through
00:17:29our guest in the first follow-up of the night. As we also followed,
00:17:33dear viewers, today in various media,
00:17:36a significant step has been taken in the journey of Omani
00:17:40women's associations. The Ministry of Social Development
00:17:44developed a project to develop Omani women's associations
00:17:47with the aim of improving their institutional
00:17:50performance and increasing the scope of benefit to include
00:17:53various community groups. Details
00:17:56with our guest via
00:17:59the coming minutes of tonight's episode of your program "From
00:18:03Oman." As for the conclusion, dear viewers, Sultan Qaboos University
00:18:07is ready for an international event under
00:18:10the title "Environmental Microbiology and Biotechnology:
00:18:14Scientific Horizons Towards
00:18:16Sustainability and Innovation." This is the fourth
00:18:20international conference on microbiology. Various details, God willing,
00:18:24with the participation of researchers from more than
00:18:2728 countries around the world in the last follow-up
00:18:30of tonight's follow-ups from your program "From Oman." So,
00:18:33dear viewers, this is regarding our discussion follow-ups.
00:18:37There are also follow-ups through our diverse
00:18:40reports that reflect to you these national efforts in various
00:18:44sectors. Welcome until 9 PM.
00:19:44From the memory of giving to the aspirations of tomorrow, Omani
00:19:48women continue to write chapters of work and achievement, and women's
00:19:52associations in various wilayats of the Sultanate
00:19:55of Oman emerge as incubators for energies
00:19:58and a space where experiences meet and initiatives are launched
00:20:02to serve the family and society. Stories
00:20:06begin from the details of daily life. A woman
00:20:09hones her talent, another establishes her project,
00:20:12and a third passes on her experience to a new
00:20:16generation. Experiences vary in their paths
00:20:19and are united by the will to produce and participate
00:20:22in a picture that embodies the developmental role of these
00:20:26associations. Over years of civil
00:20:29work, their activities have expanded to include vocational
00:20:33rehabilitation, economic empowerment, family
00:20:36awareness, and voluntary
00:20:39traditional crafts, where traditional
00:20:42skills find opportunities for investment,
00:20:45and young energies acquire knowledge that helps them to
00:20:48engage in new experiences.
00:20:51The Ministry of Social Development continues its efforts to support
00:20:54Omani women's associations and enhance their institutional
00:20:58capabilities by developing their programs, expanding
00:21:01their scope of work, and providing stimulating
00:21:04environments for women's initiatives, which contributes to
00:21:07empowering women and enhancing their participation in social and economic
00:21:11development. Today, attention is turning to
00:21:15a new phase of developing the work of these associations with
00:21:19a project that aims to improve their institutional performance
00:21:23and establish centers for family
00:21:26and community development within
00:21:29responding to social and developmental
00:21:32needs. The first phase of the project includes
00:21:35Omani women's associations in the wilayats
00:21:38of Nizwa, Nakhal, and Sur through 10
00:21:41programs distributed across six tracks dealing with women's
00:21:45affairs, economic empowerment, social
00:21:47protection, intergenerational dialogue, psychological
00:21:51support, and childhood and youth
00:21:54development. These tracks carry broader horizons for community
00:21:58work and opportunities to develop services
00:22:01provided to women and families,
00:22:04partnerships and expertise in building more
00:22:07specialized and sustainable programs. Omani
00:22:11women's associations with the expansion
00:22:15of their fields of work look forward to investing more women's
00:22:18energies and attracting
00:22:28and utilizing their expertise in the fields of work and production.
00:23:00We are happy with this daily communication with you, dear viewers, as we
00:23:04also follow these events and these
00:23:07developments witnessed in our local arena. In this
00:23:11station, dear viewers, we talk about Sultan Qaboos University.
00:23:14Tomorrow, it will host the fourth
00:23:17international conference on
00:23:21and its applications in biotechnology with wide
00:23:26event and its various objectives. We welcome, on your behalf,
00:23:29dear viewers, Professor Ahmed bin Nasser Al-Rawahi, member of the organizing
00:23:32committee of the fourth international conference on environmental
00:23:36microbiology and its applications, and he is also a lecturer in
00:23:39the College of Science at Sultan Qaboos University. Good evening, Professor Ahmed.
00:23:43Welcome to "From Oman." Good evening. Welcome, Ms. Bayan, and greetings to
00:23:47the dear viewers. First, we would like to introduce the dear viewer
00:23:50to this international conference that you are holding at the College of Science
00:23:54at Sultan Qaboos University.
00:23:57Yes, Sultan Qaboos University, represented by
00:24:01the Department of Biology at the College of Science, is hosting the fourth international
00:24:06and its applications in biotechnology, which
00:24:09is considered a scientific
00:24:12researchers, experts, and scientists from various countries
00:24:15around the world to discuss the latest developments
00:24:18and studies in the field of microbiology and biotechnology.
00:24:21The truth is that this conference is not limited only
00:24:25to presenting scientific research, but also
00:24:30research cooperation between researchers
00:24:33and also cooperation between various academic
00:24:36and industrial institutions so that they have
00:24:39a platform to discuss the latest scientific
00:24:42developments in this field. Yes, today, when we say environmental
00:24:46microbiology, what do we mean by it? If we can introduce the viewer
00:24:51of biology and why is this field considered important
00:24:55today to hold a conference of this size to discuss
00:24:58the details of this topic? Yes, an important question. I expect that
00:25:02always when we talk about environmental microbiology or
00:25:06microbes in general, it comes to the minds of
00:25:10many people as microorganisms
00:25:13that cause diseases. Correct, but the reality
00:25:16is completely different. Although these organisms
00:25:20are not visible to the naked eye, they play
00:25:26the environmental balance and system
00:25:30and also the continuation of life on Earth. There is a large group of
00:25:33microorganisms that perform important biological
00:25:37processes, for example, there is a group of living
00:25:41organisms that perform processes of increasing soil fertility,
00:25:45also treating pollutants present in this
00:25:48environment. By analyzing the elements
00:25:52present in them or recycling them. Also, there is a group
00:25:55of microorganisms that produce
00:25:58important biological compounds and are used
00:26:01even in food or pharmaceutical industries,
00:26:04and therefore have various applications
00:26:07in agricultural, industrial, and even medical aspects
00:26:11related to human health. Yes,
00:26:14anyone who follows this conference in figures and details closely
00:26:18will find that the size of participation is wide, 28
00:26:21countries, researchers also from various countries around the world. Let's talk about
00:26:25the size of this wide participation and why the university is keen to
00:26:29expand this size year after year. Yes, the truth
00:26:32is that since its announcement, the conference has witnessed
00:26:36wide participation and interaction among the scientific
00:26:38community, where the scientific committee of the conference received
00:26:42about 270 research abstracts. After the
00:26:45arbitration, evaluation, and screening processes,
00:26:48the participation of 150
00:26:51in this conference. 50 of them will be research
00:26:54presentations, while 100 participations will be research
00:26:58posters. This
00:27:01participation also reflects the growing interest from
00:27:04researchers in this specialized
00:27:07topic. For Sultan Qaboos University,
00:27:10organizing such a conference is considered
00:27:14an important event for the university and also
00:27:17an opportunity for researchers residing in the Sultanate of Oman
00:27:20to communicate directly with
00:27:23researchers and an elite group of scientists
00:27:27the conference, as the conference will host, in addition
00:27:30to the participants, three invited speakers
00:27:34who will also present
00:27:38conference. Yes, and it also enjoys the support of specialized
00:27:41scientific societies. How is the importance of this support translated
00:27:46conference, Professor Ahmed? Yes,
00:27:49indeed, the conference receives
00:27:52support and participation from a number of
00:27:55specialized international scientific societies, perhaps most notably
00:27:59the International Society for Applied
00:28:02Microbiology, known by the acronym ISM,
00:28:06as well as the Society for Applied Microbiology, known by the acronym
00:28:10AIM. These international societies
00:28:13include a large group of
00:28:17scientists, researchers, and experts, and also support
00:28:20research communication between them and the exchange
00:28:23of knowledge, and therefore are a reference
00:28:26for researchers belonging to these societies. Perhaps
00:28:30the importance of their presence with us at this conference also
00:28:34enhances the international standing of
00:28:38an opportunity for participants in this conference to communicate
00:28:41directly with this society
00:28:44and benefit from the programs that these societies offer,
00:28:47whether they are training programs or workshops
00:28:50or even
00:28:52facilitating the process of publishing their research in the future
00:28:56in these journals.
00:28:59this regard that the Society for Applied
00:29:03Microbiology will offer free
00:29:07membership to all researchers participating in this conference
00:29:10for a full year.
00:29:13the data and information that this society provides.
00:29:17Yes, from another perspective, let's give the viewer an idea
00:29:21about the most important scientific topics that the conference
00:29:25will discuss in this edition.
00:29:28Yes, the conference will last for three days
00:29:32starting tomorrow, God willing. The conference program
00:29:36will include nine scientific sessions. The conference
00:29:39will discuss various topics related to microbiology
00:29:43and biotechnology, perhaps most notably the diversity of microorganisms
00:29:46that live in various environments present
00:29:50in, for example, the Sultanate
00:29:54mountains, deserts, or even in the seas,
00:29:59harsh or extreme environmental conditions,
00:30:02as we call them scientifically.
00:30:06For example, high salinity levels or even high
00:30:09temperatures. There are certain
00:30:13types of bacteria that can withstand these environmental
00:30:16stresses. The conference will also discuss human
00:30:20health and the role of these organisms in promoting human health. Also,
00:30:24there will be a topic related to the role
00:30:27of these microorganisms in increasing soil
00:30:31fertility and also even increasing
00:30:34agricultural production and how these organisms can be
00:30:37used as an alternative to chemical
00:30:41fertilizers, for example. And God willing, in addition to the scientific sessions,
00:30:44we will have discussion sessions
00:30:48in which we will talk about the importance of biotechnology
00:30:51and also the future of biotechnology now
00:30:54and as a renewed science
00:30:58also using tools.
