Recovery through contradiction?
No full textWith this new drug strategy, the circle has turned. It was a Conservative government
that introduced the first drug strategy, Tackling Drugs Together, in 1995. This aimed
to reduce drug related crime, protect young people and reduce health harms by
discouraging drug use. It was criticised at the time for having unrealistic, intangible
aims and for not providing the necessary funding. New Labour’s strategies introduced
increasingly specific targets and massively expanded the funding of treatment. This
new Coalition strategy has no targets and provides no new funding

The diagenetic alteration of volcanic rock fragments in the Stevens Sandstone, San Joaquin Basin, California
No full textVita.The Upper Miocene Stevens Sandstone of the San Joaquin Valley, California was deposited in an active forearc basin. Compositionally the Stevens is characterized by a high content of feldspar and volcanic rock fragments. These constituents are altered under the conditions of burial diagenesis to form fine-grained aggregates of clay minerals and oxides. The alteration products can have a large effect on the physical properties of the rock. This alteration process was studied in the Stevens Sandstone and in a series of hydrothermal experiments in an attempt to understand the mechanisms involved. The alteration products in the Stevens were characterized by petrographic, x-ray, and electron microscopic methods. This alteration occurred in isolated microenvironments. The most important parameter controlling the alteration appears to be contact with the water present in the formation. Because of this control some of the framework grains are highly altered while others remain unaltered. Volcanic rock fragments are altered to an interstratified clay mineral containing saponite, vermiculite, and chlorite. The feldspars are altered to a well-crystallized kaolinite and some of the biotite present shows evidence of chloritization. These alteration products are confined to the sandstones; the enclosing shales show no evidence of being affected by the processes which acted on the sandstones
Differences in physical-fitness test scores between actively and passively recruited older adults: consequences for norm-based classification
No full textThis study investigated differences in physical-fitness test scores between actively and passively recruited older adults and the consequences thereof for norm-based classification of individuals. Walking endurance, grip strength, hip flexibility, balance, manual dexterity, and reaction time were measured in participants age 57 years or older: 1 sample recruited through media announcements (passively recruited) and 1 sample recruited through personal contact (actively recruited). Classifications on a 5-point scale based on norms were cross-tabulated. Compared with the actively recruited sample, performance of the passively recruited sample was significantly better on all tests except, for women, hip flexibility and manual dexterity. Cross-tabulation of the 2 classifications showed that percentages of agreement varied from 27.4% to 87.4%. Cohen's Kappa varied from. 11 to .84. Caution should be used when giving feedback on test performance and subsequently making physical activity recommendations if norms are based on the performance of passively recruited older adults
