    Notes: Remanence studies in recent years have used the characteristics of the Henkel plot and the delta-M plot in the interpretation of interaction field effects in particulate magnetic media. Studies of these two plots in ordered BaFe coatings, however, indicate that both plots give inadequate description of interaction field effects. An alternative to the delta-M plot is the delta-H plot in which, essentially, the (normalized) susceptibility curves for the isothermal remagnetization and dc demagnetization processes are differenced horizontally (rather than vertically as in the delta-M plot). It is shown here that the delta-H plot is a more direct way of examining the interaction fields. Simulated delta-H plots are presented based on a recent mean field model by Che and Bertram and are compared with measurements made on oriented BaFe coatings.

    Notes: Until recently, Rhodes's ‘Differentiate Polity Model’ (DPM) has been the most analytically-developed model of the British political system, but it is not without its problems. Here, we argue that the DPM over-stresses the diffuse nature of power in Britain and the extent to which the state has been hollowed out. Instead, we contend that the British political system is more closed and elitist than the DPM acknowledges; rather than being hollowed-out, the state has been reconstituted and the core executive still remains the most powerful actor in the policy process. These themes are reflected in our own ‘Asymmetric Power model’.

    Notes: This paper uses an interpretative approach to analyse the relationship between ministers and officials. It argues that generally, the relationship between ministers and civil servants is harmonious. This can be explained by the fact that both sets of actors tend to draw from the same tradition, the Westminster model. The Westminster model can be understood as the building block from which both ministers and civil servants develop narratives that shape and condition their actions. In the case of ministers, the dominant narrative drawn from the Westminster model is what we refer to as that of ‘historical impact’. In the case of civil servants, their dominant narrative, again drawn from the Westminster model is conditioned by the need to provide an account that continually emphasizes how they have acted with ‘constitutional propriety’. Generally, these two contrasting narratives do not lead to conflict between ministers and civil servants. However, a serious breakdown in the relationship between ministers and civil servants can occur when either one or both sets of actors draw on a tradition other than the Westminster model, or when they appeal to a different narrative within the Westminster model which shapes their subsequent behaviour and actions.

    Notes: The study of the core executive has been dominated by discussion of the Prime Ministers and Cabinet with only limited serious treatment paid to ministers. However, ministers and departments are crucial actors in the core executive. This article examines the multiple roles and varying impacts of ministers. More particularly, we initially develop a classification of ministerial roles, which builds upon, but develops, work by Headey, James and Norton. Subsequently, we use this classification to pose two key questions. Which roles do particular ministers stress? In what ways has the balance between these roles changed in the last twenty-five years?

    The Tangled Webs of Westminster and Whitehall: The Discourse, Strategy and Practice of Networking Within the British Core Executive (2000)

    Notes: In this paper we identify and seek to resolve a certain paradox in the existing litera-ture on networks and networking. Whilst earlier policy network perspectives have tended to emphasize the structural character of networks as durable, dense and relatively static organization forms, the more recent strategic network literature emphasizes the flexible, adaptive and dynamic quality of networking as a social and political practice. However, neither perspective has yet developed a theory of network formation, evolution, transformation and termination. In this paper, we seek to rectify this omission, advancing a ‘strategic relational’ theory of network dynamics based on a rethinking of the concept of network itself. We illustrate this perspective with respect to the policy process centred in and around Westminster and Whitehall, drawing on a series of semi-structured interviews with ministers and officials from four departments.

    Access and effectiveness in psychological therapies: self-help as a routine health technology (2003)

    Notes: The ability of psychological treatment services to deliver effective and accessible mental healthcare, as demanded by the National Service Framework for mental health, is compromised by the traditional configuration of psychological therapy services, powerful gatekeeping by these services and the difficulties which exist in engaging primary care in mental healthcare. Although a number of service models have been suggested, most address access from the perspective of secondary care service providers. In particular, self-help, a powerful ideology and a clinically effective health technology, is given insufficient prominence in psychological therapy services. Self-help is often only considered for mild problems or as an adjunct to therapy, and it is assumed that mental health professionals with traditional therapeutic skills are needed to support self-help. Following a review of access and self-help in psychological therapies, the present authors propose criteria against which services could be designed in order to fully utilise self-help as a powerful health technology in psychological therapies. Accompanying these criteria is a research framework drawn from recent work on access and illness self-management that can be used to evaluate the performance of services attempting to improve access to psychological therapies.

    Does post-withdrawal cue exposure improve outcome in opiate addiction? A controlled trial (1993)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Addiction 88 (1993), S. 0

    Notes: A controlled trial studied whether cue exposure prevented relapse in opiate addiction. Subjects were randomly allocated to one of two inpatient treatment settings: a drug dependence unit with a special 10 week program and 4 weeks in a behavioural/general treatment unit without such a program. In each setting, following drug-withdrawal, subjects had either cue exposure for at least six sessions over 3 weeks, or a control condition. Subjects were followed up twice, at about 6 weeks and 6 months post-treatment. 186 subjects were randomly allocated; 69 were assessed post-detoxification, and of these 43 completed cue exposure or control treatments. Cue exposure and control subjects did not differ in cue reactivity. This was evaluated post-treatment for cue exposure subjects and at a comparable time point for controls. All groups showed a significant decrement in cue-elicited craving, withdrawal responses and negative mood. Cue exposure and control subjects did not differ at either of the two follow up interviews.

    Fluticasone propionate aqueous nasal spray: a well-tolerated and effective treatment for children with perennial rhinitis (1996)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd
    Pediatric allergy and immunology 7 (1996), S. 0 
    Details
    ISSN: 1399-3038
    Source: Blackwell Publishing Journal Backfiles 1879-2005
    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: A total of 535 children aged 4–11 years with perennial rhinitis were recruited to two double-blind studies performed at 56 centres in eight European countries, Israel, and South Africa. One study compared the efficacy and tolerability of fluticasone propionate aqueous nasal spray (FPANS), at either 100 ug once daily (od) or 100 ug twice daily (bd), with beclometha-sone dipropionate (BDPANS) 200 ug bd for 12 weeks in 120 children aged 6–11 years. The second study compared FPANS 100 ug od with FPANS 200 ug od and placebo for 4 weeks in 415 children aged 4–11 years. Efficacy was determined by means of patient assessments of nasal symptoms of perennial rhinitis and by investigator assessments of symptoms and nasal condition. The symptoms of nasal blockage, on waking and during the day, sneezing, rhinorrhoea, and nasal itching were assessed by the investigator at clinic visits and by the completion of a patient daily diary card. Safety was assessed by collection of adverse event information, routine haematology and biochemistry testing, and monitoring plasma cortisol levels. FPANS demonstrated good control of symptoms at each dose regimen, which was equivalent or superior to BDPANS and superior to placebo. There was no difference between the dose regimens of FPANS. FPANS was as well tolerated as placebo and BDPANS. It is concluded that FPANS 100 ug od is an effective and well-tolerated treatment for perennial rhinitis in children aged 4–11 years.

    Interleukin-1 regulation of procollagenase mRNA and protein in periodontal fibroblasts in vitro (1990)

    Notes: An in vitro model is used to investigate the hypothesis that activated fibroblasts produce collagenolytic activity in inflammatory sites. Interleukin-1, a cytokine present in the gingiva and crevicular fluid of periodontitis patients, has multiple biologic activities including the ability to stimulate collagenase in dermal and synovial fibroblasts. In this report IL-1 is tested on gingival (GF) and periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PLF) for its ability to increase collagenolytic activity and procollagenase mRNA and protein. GF produce a 3- to 7-fold increase in collagenase activity, while PLF collagenase activity is rarely increased above control amounts by IL-1 treatment. In contrast, both cell types demonstrate an increase in procollagenase protein production with IL-1 treatment. RNA from both GF and PLF contain procollagenase mRNA as demonstrated when northern blots of fibroblast total RNA are hybridized with the cDNA for human procollagenase. Treatment with IL-1 increases the steady-state levels of this message in GF by up to 10-fold in 48 hours when measured with dot blot analysis standardized for poly-A RNA. PLF also produce up to 7 times more message at the same dose and time. Since fibroblasts present in the lesion are exposed to inflammatory cell products it is possible that the production of collagenase by these cells could result in the destruction of the periodontal fibrous attachment.
