Protected Open Space Inventory: Readington Township, Hunterdon County, New Jersey
No full textThis document provides an inventory of open space in Readington Township including parkland, conservation easements, rights of way, public land, semi-public land, and farmland. The project examines the need to consider the planning of open space protection for the future as opposed to letting the current trend of sprawling development continue. It also highlights possible linkages of open space that could improve the use of larger green ways and enhance natural resource areas

Quality assurance : the implications for specialist promotion practice
No full textThis study aimed to describe: what quality achieves in specialist health promotion services; what impact quality assurance has had on specialist health promotion practice; and whether quality assurance is perceived as making health promotion more effective.The research was conducted in three phases from October 1995 to December 1998. In the first phase, exploratory in-depth interviews were conducted with health promotion specialists in the NHS, in order to identify the key issues that subsequent research phases should address. In the second phase, all health promotion managers of specialist NHS health promotion services in England were sent a questionnaire covering organisational arrangements for quality assurance in their services, attitudes to quality, and the impact quality guidelines had on practice. In the final phase, semi-structured interviews were conducted with NHS health promotion practitioners and academics.Health promotion specialists viewed quality assurance as a complex area. The issues they identified as important included: addressing the confusion about the concept of quality assurance in health promotion, monitoring standards, opportunities and barriers, and assessing the usefulness of quality guidelines. The main findings from the questionnaire included: half of health promotion services have a quality assurance programme; specification of quality in contracts does not appear to affect the development of quality assurance programmes; there is no agreement about national standards for assuring quality in health promotion or how quality should be monitored. The main findings from the semi-structured interviews included: there is an emphasis on evidence-based practice; quality increases the visibility, credibility and value of services; the views on the development of quality is at different stages; quality is integral to practice and generally viewed positively; there are competing priorities for the quality agenda.</p
Dream Treatment: On Sitting Down to Read a Letter from Freud
No full text This text seeks to analyse a dream in which Freud writes to the author. Particular attention is given to the notion of treatment and, in a memorable phrase from Hélène Cixous, ‘how to treat the dream as a dream’. Royle draws on diverse references (Donald Trump, Hugh Laurie, Howard Jacobson, Wallace Stevens, Jacques Derrida and Cixous), and focuses on a range of Freud's writings (a letter to Thomas Mann, The Interpretation of Dreams, ‘A Disturbance of Memory on the Acropolis’ and ‘A Note on the Unconscious in Psychoanalysis’), in order to explore the relationship between psychoanalysis and literature. Particular attention is given to free association, deferred effect and the epistolary. </jats:p

Clinical and cost effectiveness of surgery for morbid obesity: a systematic review and economic evaluation
No full textOBJECTIVE: To assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of surgery for people with morbid obesity. DESIGN: A systematic review of randomised control trials (RCTs), prospective clinical trials and economic evaluations identified from 14 electronic databases (including Medline, Cochrane library and Embase from their inception to October 2001), bibliographies and consultation with experts and manufacturers was performed to assess the clinical and cost effectiveness of different surgical procedures and nonsurgical management for morbid obesity. An economic evaluation was undertaken to assess cost effectiveness in the UK. SUBJECTS: People diagnosed as morbidly obese, defined as a body mass index (BMI) (weight in kilograms/height in metres(2)) >40 kg/m(2), or with a BMI>35 kg/m(2) with serious comorbid disease, in whom previous nonsurgical interventions had failed. MEASUREMENTS: The outcomes assessed included weight change, quality of life, peri- and postoperative morbidity and mortality, revision rates and obesity comorbidities. Cost effectiveness was modelled from these data and presented as cost per quality-adjusted life year (QALY). RESULTS: Included studies differed in methodological quality. Surgery resulted in a significantly greater loss of weight (23-37 kg more weight) than nonsurgical treatment, which was maintained to 8 years and led to improvements in quality of life and comorbidities. The economic evaluation of surgery compared with nonsurgical management suggested that surgery was cost effective at pound 11000 per QALY. Comparisons of the different types of surgery were equivocal. CONCLUSION: Surgery for morbid obesity appears to be clinically and cost effective. Because of the nature of the evidence, particularly the uncertainty in the clinical and economic evaluations, it is difficult to distinguish between the different surgical procedures.<br/
