This study focuses on the use of traffic lights by a Registered Social Landlord (RSL) as a visual representation of self conduct that reflects a way of thinking, acting and constituting a 'well governed, well managed and viable' housing association. We show that the visible representation of traffic lights introduced by the regulator as indicators of performance has been used widely by the RSL to reflect two self-imposed principles of continuous improvement and self assessment. In this context the different accounts of governmentality within the RSLs board reports are studied and some significant insights suggested. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Calmette Bay within Marguerite Bay along the western side of the Antarctic Peninsula contains one of the most continuous flights of raised beaches described to date in Antarctica. Raised beaches extend to 40.8 m above sea level (masl) and are thought to reflect glacial isostatic adjustment due to the retreat of the Antarctic Peninsula Ice Sheet. Using optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), we dated quartz extracts from cobble surfaces buried in raised beaches at Calmette Bay. The beaches are separated into upper and lower beaches based on OSL ages, geomorphology, and sedimentary fabric. The two sets of beaches are separated by a prominent scarp. One of our OSL ages from the upper beaches dates to 9.3 thousand years ago (ka; as of 1950) consistent with previous extrapolation of sea-level data and the time of ice retreat from inner Marguerite Bay. However, four of the seven ages from the upper beaches date to the timing of glaciation. We interpret these ages to represent reworking of beaches deposited prior to the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) by advancing and retreating LGM ice. Ages from the lower beaches record relative sea-level fall due to Holocene glacial-isostatic adjustment. We suggest a Holocene marine limit of 21.7 masl with an age of 5.5-7.3 ka based on OSL ages from Calmette Bay and other sea-level constraints in the area. A marine limit at 21.7 masl implies half as much relative sea-level change in Marguerite Bay during the Holocene as suggested by previous sea-level reconstructions. No evidence for a relative sea-level signature of neoglacial events, such as a decrease followed by an increase in RSL fall due to ice advance and retreat associated with the Little Ice Age, is found within Marguerite Bay indicating either: (1) no significant neoglacial advances occurred within Marguerite Bay; (2) rheological heterogeneity allows part of the Antarctic Peninsula (i.e. the South Shetland Islands) to respond to rapid ice mass changes while other regions are incapable of responding to short-lived ice advances; or (3) the magnitude of neoglacial events within Marguerite Bay is too small to resolve through relative sea-level reconstructions. Although the application of reconstructing sea-level histories using OSL-dated raised beach deposits provides a better understanding of the timing and nature of relative sea-level change in Marguerite Bay, we highlight possible problems associated with using raised beaches as sea-level indices due to post-depositional reworking by storm waves.

Precise relative sea level (RSL) data are important for inferring regional ice sheet histories, as well as helping to validate numerical models of ice sheet evolution and glacial isostatic adjustment. Here we develop a new RSL curve for Fildes Peninsula, South Shetland Islands (SSIs), a sub-Antarctic archipelago peripheral to the northern Antarctic Peninsula ice sheet, by integrating sedimentary evidence from isolation basins with geomorphological evidence from raised beaches. This combined approach yields not only a Holocene RSL curve, but also the spatial pattern of how RSL change varied across the archipelago. The curve shows a mid-Holocene RSL highstand on Fildes Peninsula at 15.5 m above mean sea level between 8000 and 7000 cal a BP. Subsequently RSL gradually fell as a consequence of isostatic uplift in response to regional deglaciation. We propose that isostatic uplift occurred at a non-steady rate, with a temporary pause in ice retreat ca. 7200 cal a BP, leading to a short-lived RSL rise of ~1 m and forming a second peak to the mid-Holocene highstand. Two independent approaches were taken to constrain the long-term tectonic uplift rate of the SSIs at 0.22-0.48 m/ka, placing the tectonic contribution to the reconstructed RSL highstand between 1.4 and 2.9 m. Finally, we make comparisons to predictions from three global sea level models.

Limited information on the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) geometry during Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3; 60-25 ka) restricts our understanding of its behaviour during periods of climate and sea level change. Ice sheet models forced by global parameters suggest an expanded EAIS compared to the Holocene during MIS 3, but field evidence from East Antarctic coastal areas contradicts such modelling, and suggests that the ice sheet margins were no more advanced than at present. Here we present a new lake sediment record, and cosmogenic exposure results from bedrock, which confirm that Rauer Group (eastern Prydz Bay) was ice-free for much of MIS 3. We also refine the likely duration of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) glaciation in the region. Lacustrine and marine sediments from Rauer Group indicate the penultimate period of ice retreat predates 50 ka. The lacustrine record indicates a change from warmer/wetter conditions to cooler/drier conditions after ca. 35 ka. Substantive ice sheet re-advance, however, may not have occurred until much closer to 20 ka. Contemporary coastal areas were still connected to the sea during MIS 3, restricting the possible extent of grounded ice in Prydz Bay on the continental shelf. In contrast, relative sea levels (RSL) deduced from field evidence indicate an extra ice load averaging several hundred metres thicker ice across the Bay between 45 and 32 ka. Thus, ice must either have been thicker immediately inland (with a steeper ice profile), or there were additional ice domes on the shallow banks of the outer continental shelf. Further work is required to reconcile the differences between empirical evidence of past ice sheet histories, and the history predicted by ice sheet models from far-field temperature and sea level records.

We report sedimentological evidence for a tsunami from a coastal lake at Innaarsuit, Disko Bugt (west Greenland), which was most likely generated by a rolling iceberg. The tsunami invaded the lake c. 6000 years ago, during a period of time when relative sea level (RSL) was falling quickly because of isostatic rebound. We use the background rate of RSL fall, together with an age model for the sediment sequence, to infer a minimum wave run-up during the event of c. 3.3 m. The stratigraphic signature of the event bears similarities to that described from studies of the early-Holocene Storegga slide tsunami in Norwegian coastal basins. Conditions conducive to iceberg tsunami include a supply of icebergs, deep water close to the shore, a depositional setting protected from storms or landslide tsunami, and a coastal configuration that has the potential to amplify the height of tsunami waves as water depths shallow and the waves approach and impact the coast. Future warming of polar regions will lead to increased calving and iceberg production, at a time when human use of polar coasts will also grow. We predict, therefore, that iceberg-generated tsunami will become a growing hazard in polar coastal waters, especially in areas adjacent to large, fast-flowing, marine-terminating ice streams that are close to human populations or infrastructure.

L’Ifremer coordonne, sur l’ensemble du littoral métropolitain, la mise en oeuvre de réseaux d’observation et de surveillance de la mer côtière. Ces outils de collecte de données sur l’état du milieu marin répondent à deux objectifs : · servir des besoins institutionnels en fournissant aux pouvoirs publics des informations répondant aux exigences de la Directive Cadre sur l’Eau (DCE), des conventions régionales marines (OSPAR et Barcelone) et de la réglementation sanitaire relative à la salubrité des coquillages des zones de pêche et de production conchylicoles ; · acquérir des séries de données nourrissant les programmes de recherche visant à mieux comprendre le fonctionnement des écosystèmes côtiers et à identifier les facteurs à l’origine des changements observés dans ces écosystèmes. Le dispositif comprend : le réseau d’observation et de surveillance du phytoplancton et des phycotoxines (REPHY) qui porte aussi sur l’hydrologie et les nutriments, le réseau d’observation de la contamination chimique (ROCCH), le réseau de contrôle microbiologique (REMI) et le réseau de surveillance benthique (REBENT). Ces réseaux sont mis en oeuvre par les Laboratoires Environnement Ressources (LER) qui opèrent également des observatoires de la ressource : l'observatoire national conchylicole (RESCO) qui évalue la survie, la croissance et la qualité des huîtres creuses élevées sur les trois façades maritimes françaises ; et le réseau de pathologie des mollusques (REPAMO). Pour approfondir les connaissances sur certaines zones particulières et enrichir le diagnostic de la qualité du milieu, plusieurs Laboratoires Environnement Ressources mettent aussi en oeuvre des réseaux régionaux : sur la côte d’Opale (SRN), sur le littoral normand (RHLN), dans le bassin d’Arcachon (ARCHYD) ainsi que dans les étangs languedociens et corses (RSL). Les prélèvements et les analyses sont effectués sous démarche qualité. Les analyses destinées à la surveillance sanitaire des coquillages sont réalisées par des laboratoires agréés. Les données obtenues sont validées et saisies par les laboratoires. Elles intègrent la base de données Quadrige² qui héberge le référentiel national des données de la surveillance des eaux littorales et forme une composante du Système national d’information sur l’eau (SIEau). Les bulletins régionaux annuels contiennent une synthèse et une analyse des données collectées par les réseaux pour les différentes régions côtières. Des représentations graphiques homogènes pour tout le littoral français, assorties de commentaires, donnent des indications sur les niveaux et les tendances des paramètres mesurés. Les stations d’observation et de surveillance figurant sur les cartes et les tableaux de ces bulletins régionaux s’inscrivent dans un schéma national. Une synthèse des résultats portant sur l’ensemble des côtes françaises métropolitaines complète les bulletins des différentes régions. Ces documents sont téléchargeables sur le site Internet de l’Ifremer : http://envlit.ifremer.fr/documents/bulletins/regionaux_de_la_surveillance, http://envlit.ifremer.fr/documents/bulletins/nationaux_de_la_surveillance.

O aumento do número de pessoas com demência e dos custos associados aos cuidados de saúde, levam à crescente necessidade de providenciar apoio efetivo aos familiares cuidadores (FCs), no sentido de potenciar as capacidades destes e diminuir os riscos de morbilidade. Objetivo: A presente revisão sistemática da literatura (RSL) tem como objetivo identificar as intervenções de enfermagem eficazes no apoio ao FC de pessoa com demência, não institucionalizada. Método: Foi realizada uma pesquisa eletrónica de artigos, nas bases de dados CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, The JBI Database of Systematic Reviews and Implementation Reports, e Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal, no intervalo de tempo de 2006 – 2014. Foram considerados estudos experimentais e quase-experimentais, RSL e meta-analises, publicados em português, inglês e espanhol. Resultados: No total 11 estudos foram incluídos na revisão, cinco estudos primários e seis estudos secundários. De entre os estudos primários, todas as intervenções implementadas foram de caráter psicoeducacional e mostraram-se, de um modo geral, mais eficazes na melhoria da perceção do FC quanto à sua competência no desempenho do papel. Os resultados mostraram-se inconclusivos acerca do benefício destas intervenções na diminuição da depressão, da sobrecarga e do stress do FC. Quanto aos estudos secundários, foram vários os tipos de intervenções estudados: intervenções implementadas através da internet; intervenções psicoeducacionais; intervenções de suporte/ aconselhamento; e multicomponentes. A maioria dos estudos avaliaram os resultados depressão/ sintomas depressivos, perceção de competência ou autoeficácia, sobrecarga e qualidade de vida. De uma forma geral, os resultados em que as intervenções de apoio aos cuidadores se mostraram mais eficazes foram a autoeficácia, a sobrecarga e a depressão/ sintomas depressivos. Conclusão: As intervenções psicoeducacionais, pelo impacto que têm e pelo potencial de desenvolvimento de competências no FC, apresentam-se como uma mais valia a longo prazo. A sobrecarga poderá surgir, mas será lícito questionarmos se o processo não será retardado. Importa assim, desenvolver estudos que possam mostrar estas relações.

INTRODUCCIÓN: El Edema Macular (EM) es la principal causa de perdida de agudeza visual en pacientes con Oclusión Venosa Retiniana (OVR); luego del tratamiento, algunos pacientes persisten con mala agudeza visual. OBJETIVO: Realizar una Revisión Sistemática de la Literatura (RSL), para identificar la evidencia existente sobre factores tomográficos que predicen el resultado visual en pacientes con EM secundario a OVR. FUENTE DE LA INFORMACIÓN: PUBMED, MEDLINE, EMBASE, LILACS, COCHRANE, literatura gris. SELECCIÓN DE LOS ESTUDIOS: Ensayos Clínicos Controlados (ECC) y estudios observacionales analíticos. EXTRACCIÓN Y SÍNTESIS DE LOS DATOS: Dos investigadores seleccionaron los artículos de forma independiente. Se realizó una síntesis cualitativa de la información siguiendo las recomendaciones de la declaración PRISMA 2009. MEDIDAS Y DESENLACE PRINCIPAL: Grosor Retiniano Central (GRC), integridad de Banda Elipsoide e Integridad de Membrana Limitante Externa (MLE), determinados por SD OCT. El desenlace principal es la Agudeza Visual Mejor Corregida (AVMC) a los 6, 12,18 y/o 24 meses. RESULTADOS: Se identificaron 872 abstract y se incluyeron 8 artículos en el análisis cualitativo. Seis estudios evaluaron el GRC sin encontrar asociación con resultado visual final. Solo 2 estudios evaluaron y encontraron asociación estadísticamente significativa de la integridad de la MLE con el desenlace visual, Kang, H 2012 (r2 0,51 p 0,000), Rodriguez, F 2014 (p< 0,001). La integridad de la BE fue asociada a pronostico visual en 4 de 5 estudios que evaluaron esta variable, con resultados estadísticamente significativos. La AVMC de base también se asocio con desenlace visual en 4 de 5 estudios que la evaluaron. El mejor modelo que predice el resultado funcional según el estudio de Kang, H 2012 fue: Integridad de MLE, integridad de BE y AVMC de base (R2 0,671 p 0,000), a los 12 meses de seguimiento. CONCLUSION: La evidencia actual sugiere que la integridad de la BE y la MLE son predictores del resultados funcional en pacientes con EM secundario a OVR después de 6 o mas meses de seguimiento. Es necesario la realización de estudios controlados para llegar a resultados mas concluyentes.

An important current problem in micrometeorology is the characterization of turbulence in the roughness sublayer (RSL), where most of the measurements above tall forests are made. There, scalar turbulent fluctuations display significant departures from the predictions of Monin?Obukhov similarity theory (MOST). In this work, we analyze turbulence data of virtual temperature, carbon dioxide, and water vapor in the RSL above an Amazonian forest (with a canopy height of 40 m), measured at 39.4 and 81.6 m above the ground under unstable conditions. We found that dimensionless statistics related to the rate of dissipation of turbulence kinetic energy (TKE) and the scalar variance display significant departures from MOST as expected, whereas the vertical velocity variance follows MOST much more closely. Much better agreement between the dimensionless statistics with the Obukhov similarity variable, however, was found for the subset of measurements made at a low zenith angle Z, in the range 0° < |Z| < 20°. We conjecture that this improvement is due to the relationship between sunlight incidence and the ?activation?deactivation? of scalar sinks and sources vertically distributed in the forest. Finally, we evaluated the relaxation coefficient of relaxed eddy accumulation: it is also affected by zenith angle, with considerable improvement in the range 0° < |Z| < 20°, and its values fall within the range reported in the literature for the unstable surface layer. In general, our results indicate the possibility of better stability-derived flux estimates for low zenith angle ranges.
