An Interdisciplinary Approach to Assessing, Planning and Managing Urban Rivers in the context of Greater London
No full textPhDUrban rivers present complex management challenges due to the combined natural and
anthropocentric factors affecting developed catchments. Planning urban river
rehabilitation strategies and measures in parallel with green infrastructure initiatives
requires the combined expertise of multi-disciplinary partnerships, encompassing river
science and landscape engineering plus community engagement, to deliver integrated
and sustainable outcomes. This thesis takes an interdisciplinary approach to investigate
the assessment and management of urban rivers, focusing specifically upon the planning
of integrated restoration projects for River Thames tributaries within Greater London.
Comparisons of restored and unrestored sites on London tributary rivers at the reachand
catchment-scale explore the versatility of the Urban River Survey method for
assessing and communicating contrasts in the bio-physical condition and
engineering:habitat associations of heavily modified rivers. A trial of the Ecosystem
Services Assessment method for urban river restorations indicates the strengths and
limitations of this approach and areas of research need.
Urban river governance investigations and a review of changes in restoration practices
over time confirm a decreasing emphasis on channel control and progressively lighter
engineering, plus a greater social focus with urban river management becoming
increasingly driven by awareness of the symbiosis between rivers and local
communities. In some London boroughs partner organisations are developing new links
through sustainable development objectives, but connections are geographically
inconsistent and typically dependent upon key advocates.
Findings indicate that integrated planning can facilitate interdisciplinary processes
through the identification of cross-cutting themes (e.g. climate change) and open
knowledge exchange when delivered with appropriate levels of detail. While some
disciplinary boundaries are necessary (to define project scope and for task
management), socio-ecological benefits may be achieved when these are flexible,
permeable and managed responsively in relation to simple overarching goals; and by
allowing time for different kinds of knowledge to merge and stimulate new creative and
integrated interpretations
The securitisation of the United Kingdom's maritime infrastructure during the 'war on terror'
Full text linkThis thesis examines counter-terrorism efforts in relation to the United Kingdom's ports and harbours (its 'maritime infrastructure') in the context of the 'war on terror'. To do this the thesis utilises the Copenhagen School's securitisation theory as the analytical frameowrk through which a case study, focusing on developments in a five year period between 1 July 2004 and 30 June 2009 and utilising the cases of Felixstowe, Holyhead and Tilbury, is undertaken. The thesis argues that UK maritime infrastructure was securitised in the context of the macrosecuritisation of the 'civilised way of life', which were in a mutually reinforcing relationship. By reorienting emphasis towards the 'post-securitised environment' and on to examining what securitisations 'do' in practice, the thesis subsequently demonstrates the substantial impact of securitisation on the management of UK maritime infrastructure. More specifically it argues that a counter-terrorism security response was evident which constantly evolved, was layered and increasingly expansive in scope and that had a series of prominent, recurring features. The thread which ran through this response was the pursuit of increased power in relation to UK maritime infrastructure, undertaken by the British state and port owners in particular. The thesis concludes by noting how the key findings of the case study progressively demonstrate a greater level of complexity to the securitisation of UK maritime infrastructure than can at first be apparent

Pedersen, PA- C, Ph. D., associate professor of family and preventive medicine and director of the Utah Physician Assistant Program CUPAP) at the University of Utah School of Medicine, has been elected to serve a second term as chair of the Physician Assistant Licensing Board in the Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing at the Utah State Department of Commerce. The board is comprised of physicians and physi-cian assistants from throughout Utah and deals with the regulation of physician assistants as licensed professionals. The board\u27s mission, Pedersen said, is to protect the public health, safety and welfare while promoting the professional practice of physician assistants and their supervising physicians. During its 27- year history, UPAP, in the Depart-ment of Family and Preventive Medicine, has gradu-ated nearly 450 physician assistants, the majority of whom practice primary care throughout the Inter-mountain West. • UNIVERSITY OF UTAH HEALTH SCIENCES CENTER John M. Matsen Matsen Elected to National Board John M. Matsen, M. D., University of Utah vice president for health sciences and professor of pathology and pediatrics at the U medical school, has been elected to the board of directors of the American Clinical Laboratory Associa-tion ( ACLA). ACLA, founded in 1971, is comprised of member companies which include the leading providers of independent laboratory services in the United States. Independent laboratories are those not located in a hospital or medical office that provide testing and related services to the medical community. David N. Sundwall, M. D., ACLA president, said Matsen\u27s election to the board complements the membership, adds a level of stature and could establish an academic link. Currently chair of the board of directors of Associated Regional and University Pathologists Inc. ( ARUP), Matsen was president and chief executive officer of the University-controlled corporation from 1984- 93. Matsen joined the U faculty in 1974 as professor of pathology and pediatrics and as director of the U clinical microbiology laboratories and the pathology department clinical laboratories. The health sciences administrator is past president of both the Academy of Clinical Laboratory Physicians and Scientists and the National Association of Pathology Chair-men. Author of more than 200 published scientific articles, Matsen recently received a Distinguished Service Award from the Utah Medical Associatiop. He was the recipient of the 1993 Commission on Continuing Education Distinguished Service Award from the American Society of Clinical Patholo-gists, and the 1993 Sonnenwirth Memorial Award of the American Society for Microbiology. He also has received the Becton- Dickinson Award of the American Society for Micro-biology and the Gerald T. Evans Award of the Academy of Clinical Laboratory Physicians and Scientists. • ^ ^ Printed n Recycled Paper NBICU Organizes Mother Focus Groups to Improve Quality of Care Staff in the Hospital\u27s Newborn Intensive Care Unit ( NBICU) found discharge surveys and phone inter-views did not get to the heart of patient/ family experiences during a hospital stay. So, they organized focus groups with mothers who recently had babies in the unit. Mothers who, in the past year had infants in the unit more than 14 days, were contacted and separated into three groups: mothers age 20 or older at time of delivery with the infant discharged with minimal or no medication or medical equipment; mothers 19 or younger at time of delivery; and mothers 20 or older at time of delivery whose babies were discharged with medications or medical equipment. The mothers in each group were asked a series of questions. According to Stacey McLean, B. S. N., R. N., staff nurse in NBICU, the staff thought they would hear comments regarding the process of care. Instead, they heard emotional experiences about relationships between mother, baby and Hospital staff, and the importance of communication between the staff and the mothers. Black and White Photographs in Hallside Diane McLeod, a native of Greenwich, Connecticut, who became interested in photography at 19 while working as a model, brings her collec-tion of black and white photographs to the Hallside Gallery ( AC1113) through November. McLeod, who has studied photography at the U of U, the Salt Lake Art Center, the Kimball Art Center and the Anderson Ranch, has traveled throughout the U. S. and Europe gathering architectural photographs for her collection. Her work has been exhibited at the Park Cafe, the Rio Grande Cafe, Peter Anthony Studio, the Myra Powell Gallery and the offices of 15 architects in Park City. • Diane McLeod It\u27s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year The 1995 University Hospital/ School of Medicine Holiday Social is coming Thursday, Dec. 14. This year\u27s theme is " Centennial Celebrations: 100 Years of Holidays." The committee is busy planning and promises the same great events as last year. Julie Hoepfner, chair of the committee, has been busy gathering some fantastic prizes for this year\u27s drawing. Watch Pulse for more details! " The mothers didn\u27t say what we had predicted they would, and the fact that we were wrong was the most important part of our focus groups," says McLean. " The mothers wanted us to tell them how their baby smiled or that he/ she was happy, instead of telling them what the last blood gases were. It helped us realize that they need to be mothers when they take their new babies home, not nurses." The results of the focus groups recently were presented to the Hospital\u27s Quality Council. Staff learned that mothers want to be involved in their babies\u27 care and taught how they can. Also, they expect to be listened to and given important informa-tion at all times. Mothers also did not expect the attending physi-cians to change as frequently as they did, and moth-ers were unprepared for their babies\u27 hospital stays. They stressed that they would like more assistance from staff in the future. According to Sandy McAtee, B. S. N., R. N., nurse manager of NBICU, suggestions from the groups are now being implemented on the unit as part of its quality improvement program. • Public Notice from JCAHO This notice is published in accordance with the Joint Commission\u27s requirements. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations will conduct an accreditation survey of University Hospital Dec. 11- 15. The purpose of the survey is to evaluate the organization\u27s compliance with nationally established Joint Commission standards. Survey results will be used to determine whether, and the conditions under which, accreditation should be awarded. Joint Commission standards deal with organizational quality of care issues and the safety of the environment in which care is provided. Anyone believing that he or she has pertinent and valid information about such matters may request a public information interview with the Joint Commission\u27s field representatives at the time of the survey. Information presented at the interview will be carefully evaluated for relevance to the accreditation process. Requests for a public information interview must be made in writing and should be sent to the Joint Commission no later than five working days before the survey begins. The request must also indicate the nature of the information to be provided at the interview. Such requests should be addressed to: Survey Operations and Support Department, Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organiza-tions, One Renaissance Boulevard, Oakbrook Terrace, IL, 60181. The Joint Commission will acknowledge such requests in writing or by telephone and will inform the Hospital of the request for an interview. The Hospital will, in turn, notify the interviewee of the date, time and place of the meeting.
