Late Weichselian glaciation of the northern Barents Sea - a discussion
No full textThe Holocene age of the raised beaches in eastern Svalbard combined with the wide distribution of only a thin veneer of glacigenic sediments in the northern Barents Sea strongly indicate the existence of a Late Weichselian ice sheet in the region (Salvigsen 1981; Elverh~i& Solheim 1983; Solheim et al. 1988) (Figs. 1 & 2). However, the maximum extent of the ice sheet, the timing and pattern of deglaciation are still much debated. Moraine ridges in the southwestern marginal parts of the Barents Sea may indicate a coalescence of the Fennoscandian and Svalbard/northern Barents Sea ice sheet covering the entire shelf (Vorren & Kristoffersen 1986). Ridge complexes fringing the northern Barents Sea bank areas at 25& 300m water depth may represent a major stage during the retreat, or alternatively represent the maximum extent (Elverhbi & Solheim 1983)

Promoting independent skill acquisition in practical allied health education:: a student-centred approach in neuromusculoskeletal physiotherapy (pre-registration)
No full textTowards an institutional PLE
No full textPLEs in their broader sense (the ad-hoc, serendipitous and potentially chaotic set of tools that learners bring to their learning) are increasingly important for learners in the context of formal study. In this paper we outline the approach that we are taking at the University of Southampton in redesigning our teaching and learning infrastructure into an Institutional PLE. We do not see this term as an oxymoron. We define an Institutional PLE as an environment that provides a personalised interface to University data and services and at the same time exposes that data and services to a student’s personal tools. Our goal is to provide a digital platform that can cope with an evolving learning and teaching environment, as well as support the social and community aspects of the institution
Comment on "The influence of planetary attractions on the solar tachocline" by Callebaut, de Jager and Duhau
No full textCallebaut et al. (2012)'s claim that Scafetta (2010)'s results about a correlation between 20-year and 60-year temperature cycles and the orbital motion of Jupiter and Saturn were not confirmed by Humlum et al. (2011) is erroneous and severely misleading. Also Callebaut et al. (2012)'s absolute claim that a planetary influences on the Sun should be ruled out as a possible cause of solar variability is not conclusive because: (1) their calculations are based on simplistic classical Newtonian analytical mechanics that does not fully characterize solar physics; (2) the planetary theory of solar variation is supported by empirical findings. We show that both claims are already questioned in the scientific literature
Indicadores de atenção básica em saúde bucal: associação com as condições socioeconômicas, fluoretação de águas e a estratégia de saúde da família no Sul do Brasil
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciências da Saúde. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Saúde Pública.Analisou-se os indicadores de saúde bucal do pacto de atenção básica do SUS (cobertura, razão de exodontias em relação aos procedimentos individuais e cobertura de procedimentos coletivos na população de até 14 anos de idade) em municípios do Sul do Brasil (n=1159) entre 2000 a 2005. Adicionalmente testaram-se associações dos indicadores com variáveis socioeconômicas, de provisão de serviços odontológicos, fluoretação de águas e cobertura da saúde bucal na estratégia de saúde da família. Foram associados positivamente com o aumento da cobertura, o estado (RS com a menor), população rural, IDH, número de dentistas pela população e cobertura da saúde bucal no PSF. Para razão de exodontias foram associados o estado (SC e RS maiores), negativamente com população rural, IDH, número de dentistas pela população e cobertura da saúde bucal no PSF e positivamente o índice de Gini. Procedimentos coletivos foram associados negativamente com índice de Gini, intensidade de indigência e razão do número de dentistas pela população e positivamente com estado (menor no RS), população rural IDH e cobertura da saúde bucal no PSF. This paper analyzed the primary dental care indicators of the Brazilian National Health System (SUS) as following coverage of dental attendance, ratio between dental extraction and dental procedures and coverage of preventive measures among children up to 14 years-old in the municipalities from the southern region of Brazil (n=1159) between years 2000 and 2005. In addition, the association of these indicators with socioeconomic indicators, dental services, water fluoridation and coverage of the oral health care in the Family Health Program (FHP) was tested. The increase of the coverage of dental attendance was positively associated with percentage of rural population, Human Development Index (HDI), number of dentists per capita and FHP coverage. Dental extraction was negatively associated with percentage of rural population, HDI, number of dentists per capita and the FHP coverage, and positively associated with Gini index. Preventive dental measures were negatively associated with Gini index, poverty and number of dentists per capita, and positively associated with the percentage of rural population, HDI and FHP coverage
The January 7 Giant Solar Flare, the Simultaneous Triple Planetary Conjunction and Additional Records at Tromsø, Northern Norway
No full textOn January 7, 2013, there was a major solar flare. it occurred in direct connection with a triple planetary conjunction of Venus, earth and Jupiter. This is in line with the theory of solar response to planetary beat. The simultaneous aurora, magnetometer and tidal signals observed at Tromso are reviewed, and a commensurability between the Sun-Venus-Earth-Jupiter and the Sun-Moon-earth system is proposed
Antidotberedskap i Norge

Antidote availability in Norway.
Tidsskr Nor Lægeforen 2002; 122: 0000-00.
Background. Antidotes are therapeutic substances which are used primarily to counteract the toxic actions of poisonous agents. Antidotes therefore play an important role in the treatment of poisonings. Antidote availability is crucial for the poisoned patient, and it is important that hospitals keep antidotes in stock to treat these patients. Most antidotes are expensive, infrequently used and have short shelf-lives. This makes hospital stocking economically difficult. In Norway, there is no national antidote programme.
Material and methods. The National Poisons Information Centre recently made an inquiry about antidote stocking in Norwegian hospitals.
Results. This survey showed that the antidote availability is not satisfactory. Interpretation. The need and availability of antidotes in Norwegian hospitals is discussed and recommendations are given
