During the period 1999-2003 the Research Group had the following publications in three research domains: A1 (Engineering of chemistry knowledge), A2 (informatisation of education) and A3 (information methods and techniques for the transfer of knowledge into practice: 1. 15 original research papers in journals with SCI index (one being in print); 2. three original research publications in scientific journals, classified in international bibliographic databases; 3. one survey article; 4. nine independent scientific contributions in monographs (seven being published abroad). As a result of research programme of the group there have been three doctoral theses (the co-mentor was a member of the research group, while one doctorate was defended at the University of Lancaster, UK, in one a co-mentor was from University of Reading, UK. The member of the Group was also the co-mentor of the doctoral thesis of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, University of Sarajevo. The result of the research group are also 11 master theses where the members of the group acted either as mentors or co-mentors, and additional eight master theses based on the research programme of the group. In addition to this there were 19 diploma works. The results of the research group contribute to the following: Ad 1: - understanding the relationship between the structure of potential pollutants and their fate in aqueous medium (biological decomposition, photochemical oxidation) and the air (reaction of volatile organic compounds with hydroxyl radicals), - evaluation of the QSAR method for predicting the fate of pollutants in the environment, - understanding the interdependence between the structure of aromatic essential oils and their antimicrobial activity, - development of methods of isolation and quantification of essential oils and their antimicrobial activity, - development of methods of isolation and quantification of fungal tri-tertpenoid acids and extracellular and intracellular polysaccharides, - studying immunomodulating effects of fungal polysaccharides and possibilities of their production by submersive cultivation of fungal biomass, - extending the use of microencapsulation technology with prolonged release and reducing the use of pesticides, and the development of new applications in textile industry, - development of the methodology of collaborative simulation. Ad 2: - understanding the information value of different presentations of molecular structures for pupils and students and the impact of presentation on solving spatial chemical problems, - identifying the impacts of different visualisation elements and forms of learning on the quality and retention of chemistry knowledge by using multimedia, - development of new, safer and cost-effective methods of school experimental work. Ad 3: - development of methodology of value added information, - development of special informatics (e.g. bioinformatics) and its role in educational programmes and research.
