This study examines the performance of low-cost, low-power GNSS positioning systems for glacier monitoring in high-latitude environments. We compare the positioning performance of co-located low-cost u-blox ZED-F9P GNSS units (a few hundred USDs) and survey-grade Trimble R10 units (> $10,000 USD) under stationary (on land) and dynamic (on glacier) conditions near Terra Nova Bay, Antarctica. Low-cost and survey-grade systems yield almost identical error magnitudes under short (3 m), medium (34 km) and long (390 km) baseline kinematic-positioning scenarios. We further examined the efficacy of low-cost GNSS for glaciological applications by installing four u-blox and two Trimble receivers on Priestley Glacier to observe tide-modulated ice flexure. All receivers successfully detected subtle tidal oscillations with amplitudes < 3 cm, consistent with the predicted phasing from a tide model. These experiments offer a strong rationale for the widespread use of low-cost receivers to expand and densify GNSS monitoring networks, both in Antarctica and in glaciated regions worldwide.

Aims
Transference-focused psychotherapy (TFP) is a manualized evidence-based treatment for severe personality disorders (PDs) based on a psychodynamic approach that focuses on object relations theory. It has been used as a teaching tool in different psychiatric settings. Psychiatry trainees are often the “first-responders” in multiple services, and they have to deal with patients with PDs in various settings. Yet there is a documented gap in psychiatry trainees’ education regarding the assessment and management of patients with PD pathology. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether a series of teaching sessions on TFP theory and techniques as applied to PD could improve the attitude and technical confidence of psychiatric trainees in the clinical encounter of a patient with a PD.
MethodsTwo cohorts of psychiatry trainees in Tower Hamlet's East London Foundation Trust received four teaching sessions, each of one hour duration, on TFP theory and techniques. All the sessions were delivered online, using video teleconferencing software. 14 Trainees completed 2 questionnaires, pre- and post-teaching: the Attitude to Personality Disorder Questionnaire (APDQ) and the Clinical Confidence with Personality Disorder Questionnaire (CCPDQ). The APDQ asks the responder to score from 1–6 the frequency they experience certain feelings towards patients with PD. In the absence of a suitable instrument, we developed the CCPDQ consisting of a set of 13 questions rated on a 6-point Likert scale addressing key issues identified in TFP including establishing and maintaining the treatment frame and in implementing the 4 main techniques. We also conducted a 1-hour focus group post teaching which was videorecorded, transcribed, and analysed thematically.
ResultsOn quantitative analysis, the Wilcoxon signed-rank test indicated statistically significant improvements in the total APDQ score (P = 0.003, r = 0.81) and in the CCPDQ questionnaires (P = 0.001, r = 0.88).
The thematic analysis showed an overall positive effect of the TFP teaching on trainees’ attitude and confidence: they felt it improved their understanding of the nature of personality disorder, their awareness and management of countertransference, awareness of object relations and relation dyads at play in the encounter.
ConclusionTraining junior doctors about TFP theory and techniques as applied to PD can significantly improve their attitude towards these patients and their technical confidence in the clinical encounter. Of note, our workshop is resource light and can easily be delivered by remote teaching. Based on these findings, teaching of TFP in the core psychiatric training curriculum should be considered.

We have mapped the full crystallographic orientation of sea ice using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). This is the first time EBSD has been used to study sea ice. Platelet ice is a feature of sea ice near ice shelves. Ice crystals accumulate as an unconsolidated sub-ice platelet layer beneath the columnar ice (CI), where they are subsumed by the advancing sea–ice interface to form incorporated platelet ice (PI). As is well known, in CI the crystal preferred orientation comprises dominantly horizontal c-axes, while PI has c-axes varying between horizontal and vertical. For the first time, this study shows the a-axes of CI and PI are not random. Misorientation analysis has been used to illuminate the possible drivers of these alignments. In CI the misorientation angle distribution from random pairs and neighbour pairs of grains are indistinguishable, indicating the distributions are a consequence of crystal preferred orientation. Geometric selection during growth will develop the a-axis alignment in CI if ice growth in water is fastest parallel to the a-axis, as has previously been hypothesised. In contrast, in PI random-pair and neighbour-pair misorientation distributions are significantly different, suggesting mechanical rotation of crystals at grain boundaries as the most likely explanation.

We have developed a system using ‘forescatter detectors’ for backscattered imaging of specimen surfaces inclined at 50–80° to the incident beam (inclined-scanning) in the SEM. These detectors comprise semiconductor chips placed below the tilted specimen. Forescatter detectors provide an orientation contrast (OC) image to complement quantitative crystallographic data from electron backscatter patterns (EBSP). Specimens were imaged using two detector geometries and these images were compared to those collected with the specimen surface normal to the incident beam (normal-scanning) using conventional backscattered electron detector geometries and also to an automated technique, orientation imaging microscopy (OIM). When normal-scanning, the component of the BSE signal relating to the mean atomic number (z) of the material is an order of magnitude greater than any OC component, making OC imaging in polyphase specimens almost impossible. Images formed in inclined-scanning, using forescatter detectors, have OC and z-contrast signals of similar magnitude, allowing OC imaging in polyphase specimens.
OC imaging is purely qualitative, and by repeatedly imaging the same area using different specimen-beam geometries, we found that a single image picks out less than 60% of the total microstructural information and as many as 6 combined images are required to give the full data set. The OIM technique is limited by the EBSP resolution (1–2°) and subsequently misses a lot of microstructural information. The use of forescatter detectors is the most practical means of imaging OC in tilted specimens, but it is also a powerful tool in its own right for imaging microstructures in polyphase specimens, an essential asset for geological work.

Summary
Introduction
Health is a marker of the development of societies (Marmot, 2007). The wealth and prosperity of nations are embodied in the welfare of its citizens (Hoff, 2008). Overall, health has improved over the course of the twentieth century for many countries, particularly those forming part of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) (Marmot, 2007). However, disparities in the distribution of poor health persist between and within countries. Systematic differences in the risk of suffering a multitude of physical and mental illnesses by socio-economic groups reflects the organisation of societies, and specifically the distribution of wealth, resources and opportunities. Interest in the relationship of poverty and health, therefore, has come to focus on a moral concern with inequalities and the unfair, avoidable social structuring of poor health (Braveman and Gruskin, 2003).
On an international scale, systematic patterning in health is demonstrated by the variations in life expectancies that are observed between countries; in 2013 the range in life expectancy at birth between countries was 37 years for men, and 41 years for women (WHO, 2015). Marked inequalities have also been observed within countries and even in cities. For instance, life expectancies in the most affluent areas of Glasgow were reported at 82 years, compared to 54 years in one of the most deprived areas (Hanlon et al, 2006). The life expectancy for individuals in some deprived areas of Scotland was thus worse than the average in India (Marmot, 2007).
Inequalities in a variety of health outcomes have been demonstrated with a range of socio-economic and status measures. The Black Report produced by the Working Group on Inequalities in Health helped invigorate research and policy interest in health inequalities by demonstrating disparities in mortality rates based on social class (Townsend et al, 1992). It identified material or socio-economic factors such as income, education and housing as the most important drivers of these inequalities. The WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health compiled a wealth of evidence on the structuring of health by social conditions, demonstrating the ‘poor health of the poor, the social gradient in health within countries, and the marked health inequities between countries are caused by the unequal distribution of power, income, goods, and services’ (WHO 2008, p 1).

Dust particles in an ice core from East Rongbuk Glacier on the northern slope of Qomolangma (Mount Everest; 28°01′ N, 86°58′ E; 6518 m a.s.l.), central Himalaya, have been identified as mica using a combination of scanning electron microscope-based techniques and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to identify the elements present, and electron backscatter diffraction to identify the crystal type. This technique for identifying individual crystalline dust particles in samples of glacial ice could be especially useful in the future for identifying water-soluble crystals in ice, for studying the strain history (glaciotectonics) of basal ice or in studies of ice–mica composites used as analogs of quartz-mica rocks.

Phase maps of Co–Cr alloys bonded to dental porcelain cycled through an incremental number of porcelain firings at two separate thicknesses (0.5 and 1 mm) were analyzed. Bulk hexagonal close-packed (hcp) phase vol% of the alloy was found to increase with the number of porcelain firings for both 0.5 and 1 mm specimens. At the metal-porcelain interface, a uniform fine-grained hcp phase was observed. The depth and grain size of this hcp layer increased with the number of porcelain firings with the thicker specimens undergoing more substantial growth and transformation. Simple heat transfer modeling of the specimens during heat treatment cycles indicated that the thicker specimen had more time at high temperature to affect the face-centered cubic to hcp phase transformation. Therefore, the amount of porcelain firings and the thickness of the alloy should be considered and kept to a minimal when manufacturing metal-porcelain restoration.

This paper is concerned with the language of policy documents in the field of health care, and how ‘readings’ of such documents might be validated in the context of a narrative analysis. The substantive focus is on a comparative study of UK health policy documents (N = 20) as produced by the various assemblies, governments and executives of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland during the period 2000–09. Following the identification of some key characteristics of narrative structure the authors indicate how text-mining strategies allied with features of semantic and network analysis can be used to unravel the basic elements of policy stories and to facilitate the presentation of data in such a way that readers can verify the strengths (and weaknesses) of any given analysis – with regard to claims concerning, say, the presence, absence or relative importance of key ideas and concepts. Readers can also ‘see’ how the different components of any one story might fit together, and to get a sense of what has been excluded from the narrative as well as what has been included, and thereby assess the reliability and validity of interpretations that have been placed upon the data.

A fire-mediated recruitment bottleneck provides a possible explanation for the coexistence of trees and grasses in mesic savannas. The key element of this hypothesis is that saplings are particularly vulnerable to fire because they are small enough to be top-killed by grass fires, but unlike juveniles, they take several years to recover their original size. This limits the number of recruits into the adult size classes. Thus savanna vegetation may be maintained by a feedback whereby fire restricts the density of adult trees and allows a grass layer to develop, which provides fuel for subsequent fires. Here, we use results from a landscape-scale fire experiment in tropical Australia, to explore the possible existence of a recruitment bottleneck. This experiment compared tree recruitment and survival over 4 y under regimes of no fire, annual early and annual late dry-season fire. Stem mortality decreased with increasing stem height in the fire treatments but not in the unburnt treatment. Tree recruitment was 76–84% lower in the fire treatments than the unburnt treatment. Such fire-induced stem loss of saplings and reduced recruitment to the canopy layer in this eucalypt savanna are consistent with the predictions of the fire-mediated recruitment bottleneck hypothesis.

This article examines the relationship between the characterisation of and response to anti-social behaviour issues in areas of high ethnic diversity and emerging ‘post-multicultural’ policies of integration, cohesion and citizenship. It draws on a small study of the views and perceptions of members of local community safety and anti-social behaviour teams in three areas of England with very ethnically diverse populations. The analysis distinguishes between responses to ASB issues within ‘settled’ minority communities, among young people from those communities and within the ‘new’ immigrant communities. While these responses vary, the article argues that each can be seen as supporting national policy goals of community cohesion and responsible citizenship based on the assertion of ‘shared values’.

Addressing anti-social behaviour (ASB) has been a major policy priority of New Labour since it came to power in 1997. This is reflected in a series of legislative powers enabling a range of agencies to take legal action to tackle ASB (e.g. Crime and Disorder Act 1998; Police Reform Act 2002; Anti-Social Behaviour Act 2003; Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005) and in a number of national policy initiatives (e.g. the Home Office ‘Together’ Campaign, 2003; the Respect Action Plan, 2006; the Youth Task Force Action Plan, 2007). These developments are the subject of a growing body of academic analysis and critique, much of which has focused on the use of the ASB powers in the regulation of particular neighbourhoods and communities, especially social housing areas of predominantly White working-class residents (Burney, 2005; Flint, 2006), and of young people, again mostly White and working class (Squires and Stephen, 2005). Specific service or practice developments arising out of ASB policy have also been analysed, for example, Family Intervention Projects (Nixon et al., 2006, 2008), Anti-Social Behaviour Teams (Prior et al., 2006), and the use of ASBOs (Squires, 2006; Matthews et al., 2007) and Dispersal Orders (Crawford and Lister, 2007).

Summary
Introduction
In one of his tantalisingly undeveloped remarks, Michel Foucault suggested that
there are no relations of power without resistances; the latter are all the more real and effective because they are formed right at the point where relations of power are exercised … [resistance] exists all the more by being in the same place as power; hence, like power, resistance is multiple. (Foucault, 1980: 142)
My aim in this chapter is to try to explore how the relationship between power and resistance might be understood in the specific context of the delivery of public services and, more particularly, to examine the conditions in which resistance to public service policies and practices can take the form of an oppositional or counter-agency on the part of both public officials and citizens.
The conceptual starting point for the chapter is ‘governmentality’, the analysis of the rationales and techniques of governing that, inspired by Foucault's historical investigations (Foucault, 1991), has been developed in the work of Nikolas Rose and others (for example, Rose, 1996, 1999; Dean, 1999; Miller and Rose, 2008). The crucial insight of governmentality is that contemporary processes of governing operate through a myriad of mundane, everyday techniques and routines of discipline and control that are exercised by individual citizens and which enable them to function as self-regulating members of the polity. In this approach, public policies and services are to be understood as principally concerned with the creation and maintenance of citizens who possess both the will and the capacity to conduct themselves in accordance with governmental objectives. However, it is a central theme of this chapter that this account is in itself insufficient in seeking to understand what happens in the delivery of public services, particularly ‘at the point where relations of power are exercised’ in encounters between officials and citizens. More specifically, it does not enable us to explain how and why public policies and services can be disrupted or subverted in their pursuit of defined objectives, and what the active role of both public officials and public service users might be in those processes of disruption and subversion.
