SunSmart? Skin cancer knowledge and preventive behaviour in a British population representative sample
No full textThe incidence of skin cancer has risen rapidly in the UK over the last 20 years, prompting public health organizations to try and raise awareness of the dangers of sun exposure and the need to practice sun-safe behaviour. This study aimed to assess baseline levels of sun-safe knowledge and behaviour in a British population-representative sample, prior to the launch of Cancer Research UK's 'SunSmart' campaign. A face-to-face survey was conducted through the Office for National Statistics as part of their Omnibus survey. In total, 1848 men and women aged 18 and over were interviewed. Knowledge of what to do to reduce skin cancer risk was modest. Two-thirds mentioned avoiding the sun by seeking shade, 50% mentioned covering up and only 43% said to use high factor sunscreen. Practice of sun-safe behaviours was also poor, with only one-third saying they sought shade, covered up or used high factor sunscreen to protect themselves from the sun. Men and those from lower socioeconomic groups were least informed and least likely to report using sun-protective behaviours. Increases in both knowledge and use of appropriate sun-protective behaviours are needed if skin cancer incidence rates are to decrease
A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1
No full textSpectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

Search for h(c) -> pi(+)pi(-) J/psi via psi(3686) -> pi(0)pi(+)pi(-) J/psi
No full textUsing a data sample of 448.1 x 10(6) psi(3686) events collected with the BESIII detector operating at the BEPCII, we perform search for the hadronic transition h(c)-> pi(+)pi(-) J/psi via psi (3686) -> pi(0)hc. No signals of the transition are observed, and the upper limit on the product branching fraction B(sigma(3686) -> pi(0)h(c))B(h(c) -> pi(+)pi(-) J/psi) at the 90% confidence level (C. L.) is determined to be 2.0 x 10(-6). This is the most stringent upper limit to date
Observation of h(1)(1380) in the J/psi -> eta ' K(K)over-bar pi decay
No full textUsing 1.31 x 10(9) J/psi events collected by the BESIII detector at the BEPCII e(+)e(-) collider, we report the first observation of the h(1)(1380) in J/psi -> eta'h(1)(1380) with a significance of more than ten standard deviations. The mass and width of the possible axial-vector strangeonium candidate h(1)(1380) are measured to be M = (1423.2 +/- 2.1 +/- 7.3) MeV/c(2) and Gamma = (90.3 +/- 9.8 +/- 17.5) MeV. The product branching fractions, assuming no interference, are determined to be B(J/psi -> eta'h(1)(1380)) x B(h(1)(1380) -> K*(892)K-+(-)+c.c.) = (1.51 +/- 0.09 +/- 0.21) x 10(-4) in eta'K+K-pi(0) mode and B(J/psi -> eta'h(1)(1380)) x B(h(1)(1380) -> K*(892)(K) over bar +c.c.) =(2.16 +/- 0.12 +/- 0.29) x 10(-4) in eta'(KSK +/-)-K-0 pi(-/+) mode. The first uncertainties are statistical and the second are systematic. Isospin symmetry violation is observed in the decays h(1)(1380) K*(892)K-+(-) + c.c. and h(1)(1380) -> K*(892)(0)(K) over bar (0) + c.c.. Based on the measured h(1)(1380) mass, the mixing angle between the states h(1)(1170) and h(1)(1380) is determined to be (35.9 +/- 2.6)degrees, consistent with theoretical expectations
A grounded theory of female adolescent behaviour in the sun: comfort matters.
No full textThe aim of the research was to generate a grounded theory to explain the behaviour of young women in the sun. The study sought to explore the sun-related experiences of
young women in order to gain new insights into the influences upon them. The study was qualitative by design and utilised grounded theory method as developed by Glaser.
Twenty female participants, aged 14 to 17 years old were included in the study. They formed six groups. Thirteen interviews were carried out with the groups and six one-to one interviews took place with individuals. All interviews were semi-structured and were based upon the participants' experiences of being in the sun. Data was analysed using the
constant comparative method of data analysis, concordant with Glaserian grounded theory method. Five explanatory categories emerged from the data; Fitting In, Being Myself,
Being Physically Comfortable, Slipping Up and a core category of Being Comfortable. One of the issues that emerged was that some young women believed their social
acceptance depended on their appearance and they conformed to this end. The theory, derived from the categories, proposes that when in the sun, young women direct their
activities toward meeting physical and psychosocial comfort needs. Comfort matters to them because it has implications for their wellbeing. This thesis contributes to the literature about the behaviours of young women in the sun.
By increasing understanding of the factors that influence them, it also adds to the body of knowledge related to the primary prevention of skin cancer with teenage girls in the United Kingdom. The outcome of the research and its contribution to knowledge is a grounded theory, which explains the basis of the behaviours of young women in the sun. It appears that no other study has explored the experiences of UK adolescent females specifically, in
a qualitative way and with the intention of producing a theory to explain them
A survey of the spruce web-spinning sawflies of the genus Cephalcia Panzer in north-eastern China, with a guide to the identification of prepupae (Hym, Pamphiliidae)
No full textThe spruce web-spinning sawflies of the genus Cephalcia have been surveyed on two host plants (Picea Koraiensis and P. jezoensis) in both natural and artificial stands of north-eastern China. Ornamental trees were also included in the study. Five sites situated in the Provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin and characterized by various elevations were considered in 1992-93. A total of nine species have been found, in the following decreasing order of abundance: C. abietis, C. arvensis (with two froms), C. fallenii, C. pallidula (new to China), C. alashanica, C. erythrogaster, C. fulva, C. klugii, and an unknown species. In most cases the adult specimens from China show a darker and more extended pigmentation with respect to the European ones. Some biological attributes (emergence period of adults, oviposition features, larval instars and feeding habits) are given for each species and compared with those known from European populations. A key for the practical identification of prepupae is presented. All information could be useful in monitoring, since these sawflies are considered among the main pests of various spruce species in this region
