Exploring the acceptability of engaging in physical activity amongst older adults living in socioeconomically deprived areas after the Covid-19 pandemic
An increased motivation to do more physical activity post-pandemic was identified amongst this population, suggesting now is a good time to act for intervention development to capitalise on this. Better messaging is needed to communicate and improve the accessibility of physical activity guidelines amongst this population. To increase engagement in leisure-time physical activity amongst this population, future interventions and messaging should e…
A little bit of empathy and compassion would go a long way
The ability to manage money is essential for independent functioning but highly sensitive to cognitive decline. Managing money involves more than deploying skills rationally; it is influenced by a range of emotional and psychosocial factors. There is relatively little knowledge about how older adults, families and care professionals working with older people navigate and experience potential challenges of declining mental capacity to manage money…
Healthy Ageing Futures for Older Women Asylum Seekers
As the numbers of displaced persons across the world grows, research methodologies need to develop to be able to understand these lived experiences in context. This paper draws on key learning points from a project which worked with older women who have applied for asylum in the UK, and specifically in England - a cohort often overlooked by research and practice - to understand their experiences of ageing in this country. Our aim is to provide un…

The mentored experience to enhance opportunities in research (Meteor) program
Our findings will be incorporated into improvements to the program for future cohorts and may inform the design of similar mentored research programs. With increased enrollment, quantitative studies of the effectiveness of the program are planned
The Discovery of the Argyle Pipe, Western Australia
Argyle diamond mine discovery is a tale of scientific exploration, belief, and persistence over a nine-year period from project formulation in 1971 to pipe discovery in 1979. Initial inspiration came from a suggestion that leucite lamproites that crop out in the Kimberley region of Western Australia were derived by differentiation from a kimberlite-like peridotite magma. A 200,000-km2-wide program of reconnaissance stream sampling was initiated i…
Beyond the parish pump
Where public health professionals sit in a health system in absolute terms is less important than their ability to develop relationships, negotiate their roles, and provide expert public health influence across that system. A conflation between 'population health' and 'public health' fosters unrealistic expectations of the profession. Public health may be best placed to provide leadership for other stakeholders and professional groups working tow…

P2-206 Association of Faar score on admission ECG with mortality in 1843 patients admitted with an acute coronary syndrome
Introduction Accurate risk assessment is central to the management of patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Many ACS risk scores are employed as near-point tests, but rely on the collection of remote data such as troponin concentration. This study investigated the long term and short term mortality prediction performance of the Frontal QRS-T Angle and Age Risk (FAAR) score, a simple ACS risk stratification tool comprising of th…
To Block Lift or Not to Block Lift? An Experiment at the Early Mesolithic Site of Star Carr, North-East Yorkshire, UK
As part of the excavations at Star Carr in the summer of 2007, a 'block' sample of peat from the archaeologically rich lake-edge deposits was removed for micro-excavation in the laboratory. The main aim was to compare on-site excavation and excavation in the laboratory. The techniques employed for the block were intended to maximise the chances of recovering fragile organic remains and provide an understanding of the spatial relationships between…
Is Marine Mammal Health Deteriorating? Trends in the Global Reporting of Marine Mammal Disease
Bronze Age pastoral practices in the Clyde Valley
In November 2002, AOC Archaeology Group carried out the archaeological excavation of a roundhouse and associated palisades prior to a housing development at West Acres, Newton Mearns. The excavation revealed a ring-groove roundhouse, bounded on the south by a curvilinear palisade trench and on the north by another two curvilinear palisade trenches, one that preceded the roundhouse and another that succeeded the roundhouse. It is proposed that the…

Assessing the influence of agrochemicals on the rate of copper corrosion in the vadose zone of arable land Part 1
Part of a project that has attempted to answer the question ‘does the application of agrochemicals accelerate the corrosion of metals in the top 50cm of the soil? ’ is reported. We have approached the question by a combination of field-based experiments (on two sites), establishing laboratory microcosms (one involving simple aqueous systems and the other a series of simulated burial experiments) and by using geochemical modelling techniques to un…
Preservation of Urban Archaeological Deposits
The City of York Council has been pursuing a strict policy of in situ preservation of archaeological deposits since April 1990. Planning consent is normally granted in the historic core of York for a new development so long as less than 5% of the archaeological deposits that are preserved on a site are destroyed. During archaeological evaluation work carried out as part of the redevelopment and expansion proposals for Marks and Spencer plc on Par…
The Project
Fully submerged shipwreck sites act as open systems, with the exchange of material (sediment, water, organic and inorganic objects) and energy (wave, tidal, storm) across system boundaries. Formation processes at wreck sites are driven by some combination of chemical, biological and physical processes, with physical processes dominant in initial phases of site formation. Scouring and associated depositional patterns that form in response to hydro…
Hepatitis B vaccination
OBJECTIVE--To assess the cost effectiveness of adding universal hepatitis B vaccination in infancy or pre-adolescence to a policy of selective vaccination of at risk groups. DESIGN--Costs of a selective policy and additional costs of universal vaccination policies were estimated from costs of vaccine delivery and published data on target populations. Additional years of life gained were calculated for each policy by applying life tables to estima…

Sitting height, fat-free mass and body fat as reference variables for lung function in healthy British children
The ventilatory capacity, total lung capacity and transfer factor with their respective subdivisions have been measured on 254 healthy British boy and girl twins aged 8-16 yrs. The logarithmic regression relationships of lung function on stature have been compared with those on sitting height and on stature plus indices of body muscle and fat. The regressions on stature and on sitting height describe the results with similar precision, but statur…
