Current situation and sharing mode of large-scale scientific instruments in specialized laboratories of general hospitals / 中华医学科研管理杂志

Objective:Explore the open sharing mode of large-scale scientific instruments in specialized laboratories, consider how to effectively improve the use efficiency of instruments.Methods:Based on the analysis of the problems existing in the management of large scientific instruments in specialized laboratories of a general hospital, the open sharing platform of specialized laboratory instruments was constructed with the help of laboratory information management system, and relevant management suggestions and thoughts were put forward.Results:Depending on the system design, specialized laboratories can use the instrument sharing platform to implement the " special management sharing" of large scientific instruments and improve the efficiency of instrument use.Conclusions:The construction of large scientific research instrument sharing platform for specialized laboratories in general hospitals is an effective means to solve the instrument management problems in specialized laboratories at present, but to give full play to the effect, it is necessary to constantly improve the platform system construction and technical personnel training.

Crânios, corpos e medidas: a constituição do acervo de instrumentos antropométricos do Museu Nacional na passagem do século XIX para o XX / Crania, bodies, and measurements: formation of the collection of anthropometric instruments at the Museu Nacional in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century

Aborda o processo de constituição do acervo de instrumentos científicos do Setor de Antropologia Biológica (antiga Divisão de Antropologia Física) do Museu Nacional. Prioriza-se a análise da coleção de instrumentos de antropometria. Pensar o instrumental de medição antropométrica relacionando-o com as demais coleções do acervo de antropologia biológica e com a atuação dos pesquisadores do Museu Nacional, em seus respectivos contextos sociopolíticos e acadêmicos, oferece uma visão privilegiada do panorama científico na passagem do século XIX para o XX.

Analyzes the formation of the collection of scientific instruments at the Museu Nacional's Biological Anthropology Sector (previously known as the Physical Anthropology Division), Brazil. It focuses on the instruments used for anthropometric measurements. By drawing relations between this collection and other of the institution's biological anthropology collections, as well as the activities of Museu Nacional researchers within their sociopolitical and academic contexts, we arrive at a privileged view of the scientific methods and theories in use in the final decades of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth.
