Scottish HPV Investigators' Network Shine SHINe Scottish HPV Investigators’ Ne twork SHINe Meeting held in University of Edinburgh, Conference Room, David Hume Tower, George Square Edinburgh, 10am 30 th April 2012 Present: Apologies David Brewster Evelyn Wallace Margaret Burgoyne Derek Bishop Christine Campbell Liz Breckenridge Maurice Canham Alistair Campbell Seonaidh Cotton Carol Colquhoun Maggie Cruickshank Isabel Gavin Heather Cubie David Harrison Kate Cuschieri Mary McKean Fergus Daly Paul McNamee Rebecca Devine Cheryl Paris Martin Donaghy Sue Payne Edward Duvall Frank Sullivan Alison Fleming Allan Wilson Sheila Graham Mike Winter Ramya Gundurao Sarah Howie Ingo Johannsessen Liz Junor Margaret Laing David Millan Sharon Moncur Catherine Moore Rodney Mountain Sheila Nicoll Graham Ogden Johanna Pedraza Kevin Pollock Chris Robertson Katy Sinka June Stewart Kate Wakeman Mary Wells Alistair Williams Neil Kernohan Paddy Niblock Sharon White Athiva Shankar Camille Busby-Earle Louise Smart Brendon Conn Hannah Monaghan Agenda Action item Morning Session: Service and Infrastructure Updates Welcome and Introductions Martin Donaghy chaired morning session. Attendees introduced themselves. Apologies as above. Actions from previous meetings: • MCa discussed issues with SHINe website partition. S Howie suggested using a system called wiki and perhaps the SHINe website could be moved over. Issue MCa 1 remains ongoing. • MCa commented on tissue request form development. A form has been generated and used for the first 3 applications but further discussion on its Archive format would take place during the archive steering committee meeting being Steering held at the end of the SHINe meeting. Group 1 Presentation - Cytology Update given by Sheila Nicoll The talk will be available on the SHINe website. The history of cervical cytology service delivery in Scotland was discussed including the establishment of a cytology steering group. Current and potential future screening scenarios were presented. In addition, it was highlighted that HPV testing was now part of cervical screening with rollout of this component in Test of Cure now live. A potential new HPV prevalence study for other age ranges (other than 20/21y) was presented which could inform Scotland age range and screening frequency requirements. A report is awaited from the Cytology Steering Group regarding this matter. 2 Presentation - HPV QA and Validation for English CSP given by Catherine Moore The talk will be available on the SHINe website. The presentation described the role of the Scottish HPV Reference Laboratory in supporting QA of HPV testing on various approved platforms for up to 33 different laboratories in England. This role may continue to a lesser extent in future as the English labs become more established in molecular testing. 3 Presentation - Future Shape of SHPVRL and HRG given by Heather Cubie The various roles for each were presented, including how they interact and facilitate one another. Preliminary data on the STOCS-H study was also shown. 4 Presentation - HPV vaccine change and future surveillance given by Katy Sinka Data relating to the current HPV vaccination programme and potential consequential scenarios was presented. This talk also highlighted the vaccine switch from the bivalent Cervarix to the quadrivalent Guardasil. 5 Presentation Scottish Health Research Register SHARE given by Fergus Daly The background and current status of this project was summarised together with the public’s reaction to the register. 6 Presentation Update from BSCCP given by Margaret Cruickshank Issues regarding training in the context of HPV testing were presented together with the potential requirement for other biomarkers in relation to HPV positive/Cytology negative individuals as further triage before colposcopic referral. Afternoon Session: Research Update The afternoon session was chaired by Heather Cubie 7 Open Discussion - Scotland and Oropharyngeal Carcinoma where next for service and research? Discussion led by Liz Junor The session started with an open discussion on the topic ‘ Scotland and Oropharyngeal Carcinoma – where next for service and research?’ led by Liz Junor. HAC had prepared a number of questions and discussion was wide ranging. A summary of the discussion has been produced as a companion to these Minutes. In relation to HPV testing as part of the diagnostic assessment of potentially cancerous oropharyngeal lesions, a number of people present expressed interest in being associated with the development of a business case for funding of such HPV testing. Kevin Pollock of HPS suggested it would be reasonable to present such a case as a Reference Laboratory development proposal. A shorter discussion was held on the development of a protocol to study oral HPV prevalence in the population through oral rinse samples. Again a number of people expressed interest in being part of a protocol development team. HAC agreed to progress discussions by email, teleconference or meeting . HAC 8 Presentation - Update on HSR programme & early results from one of the HSR studies given by Seonaidh Cotton An overview of the Health Sciences Research programme grant was shown comprising of 5 study elements. The initial results of one study, COGHS, showed the positive predictive value of colposcopy relating to HPV type. It was envisaged the positive predictive value of colposcopy would be lower in a vaccinated 2 population. 9 Presentation - Vaccination and screening: knowledge and information needs of young women given by Christine Campbell CC explored the implications of HPV vaccinations on future cervical cancer prevention policy. The first part of this CSO project was a literature review which revealed a dearth of literature around the intersection of HPV vaccination and cervical screening behaviours. The second part will involve a survey of young women in Scotland to obtain a current understanding of young women’s attitudes towards HPV infection, cervical cancer, associated risks and cervical screening. A draft questionnaire has been subjected to cognitive interviewing to refine the questions making it suitable for girls below Higher Grade, at Higher Grade and Degree Level. The survey will be delivered with help from the Scottish Primary Care Research network to girls aged 18-22 yrs, over a 15m period during 2012-13. 10 Presentation - Investigations of novel HPV-16 E7 protein interactions given by Ramya Gundarao Ramya explained that her project aimed to identify genomewide HPV protein interactions and novel host binding partners of HPV, using yeast two-hybrid system. She described a new interaction between HPV 16 E7 and E1 utilising zinc binding CCKC domain of E7 and the N terminal 92 amino acids of E1. At this stage she has concluded that E7 might play an inhibitory role on E1 mediated HPV episomal replication. In the second part, Ramya has identified a number of interactions between cellular and HPV proteins using Lumier assays and has recently concentrated on the interaction of E7 with SPZ1, hypothesising that SPZ1 may play a role in E7 mediated tumourigenesis. 11 Presentation - HPV Archive: Numbers, QA and applications for use given by Maurice Canham MC highlighted that there were over 12,000 samples, mainly LBC from 20-21 year olds and most with 2 or 3 aliquots usually of 4 mls each. Much time has been spent recently on developing QA protocols to ensure that samples are stored adequately and validated for DNA, RNA or protein analyses. There had been 3 full applications for access to samples. 12 Presentation - Summary of SHINe networking activity given by Heather Cubie As time was running short, HAC rapidly summarised activity and stressed that there was a need to broaden our funding base which was to date, heavily reliant on CSO support. It was also necessary to consider the next stage of funding for the archive itself as current funding had only 2 more years to run. 13 Date of Next Meeting September 25 th 2012 Ongoing actions from previous meetings Agenda Agenda Topic Action Date No SHINe website partition MCa discussed issues with SHINe Ongoing website partition.

    Valuing Radio How commercial radio contributes to the UK A report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Commercial Radio The data within Valuing Radio is largely drawn from a 2018 survey of Radiocentre members. It is supplemented by additional research which is sourced individually. Contents 01 Introduction 03 Overview and recommendations 05 The public value of commercial radio • News and information • Economic value • Charity and community 21 Commercial radio people 27 Future of radio Introduction The APPG on Commercial Radio helps provide this important industry with a voice in parliament. With record audiences and more ways to listen than ever before, the impact of the industry should not be underestimated. While the challenges facing the sector have changed over the years, the steadfast commitment of stations to provide public value content every day remains. This new report, the first of its kind produced by the APPG, showcases the rich public value content that commercial radio provides to listeners for free. Valuing Radio explores the impact made by stations up and down the country, over and above the music and entertainment output that audiences expect. It looks particularly at radio’s role in providing news and information, the sector’s significant support for both charitable fundraising and education, in addition to work to improve diversity within the industry. Alongside this important public value content is a significant economic contribution to local economies across the UK. For the first time we have analysis on the impact of local advertising and the return on investment (ROI) that this generates for particular nations and regions of the UK.

  • Communications Market Report: Scotland
    ul Communications Market Report: Scotland Research Document Publication date: 19 August 2010 Introduction This is Ofcom’s fifth annual review of communications markets in Scotland. The report offers a detailed overview of communications services across the nation. It provides a comparison of their take-up and use within different parts of Scotland, and compares this with other UK nations. Nearly eight in ten people (79%) claimed to have a mobile handset in Q1 2010, ten percentage points lower than the UK-wide average. A 2G mobile signal covers 87% of people in Scotland relative to the UK figure of 97%. Higher-speed 3G mobile, which is available to 87% of the UK population, covers 66% of the Scottish population. With mobile signals focusing on densely populated regions of Scotland, and influenced by topography, geographic coverage tends to be lower in Scotland (64% for 2G and 41% for 3G) than elsewhere in the UK (91% 2G and 76% 3G). Sixty-one per cent claim to have broadband in Scotland, still below the UK average (71%), with the gap widening by two percentage points over the last twelve months. Cable broadband is available to 37% of the population (versus 48% of the UK as a whole), while most fixed exchanges in Scotland now support broadband. But the actual speeds experienced by consumers depend on a variety of factors. These include the length of the line from the exchange to a customer’s premises, and the number of people connected to a single exchange who are logged on to the internet concurrently. As competition between communications providers intensifies, a growing proportion of homes are taking services in bundles of two or more.

  • Digital Broadcast Radio Predicted On-Air Coverage Central Scotland Block 11D Regional DAB Multiplex
    Digital Broadcast Radio Predicted On-Air Coverage Central Scotland Block 11D Regional DAB Multiplex Publication date: January 2020 DAB coverage maps All local digital radio (DAB) services have a specified licence area which is shown on the following maps. Any coverage falling outside of this licence area is neither counted as part of the coverage nor does Ofcom seek to protect it from interference. Ofcom DAB coverage maps and figures are produced using the BBC software implementation of the UK planning model (UKPM). The UKPM methodology has been agreed between Ofcom, Arqiva, and the BBC. However, the actual implementation of the UKPM processes does vary between the organisations due to factors such as operating platform and program coding. As a result predictions and coverage figures produced for the same set of wanted and interfering transmitter parameters by different organisations can be expected to exhibit small variations. The coverage indicated does not represent or imply any warranty by Ofcom that the technical conditions which form the basis of its definition are satisfied at all points within the area shown, nor that these conditions would not be satisfied at locations outside of that area. The associated technical conditions represent a conservative average threshold (for each relevant measure) for generally acceptable reception for most circumstances: some listeners find these thresholds too low to deliver what they would like, and others enjoy what they regard as adequate reception under worse conditions than those corresponding to these thresholds. Reception quality can differ rapidly with changing location, to a more detailed extent than is shown on the map.

  • What Are Your Comments on These Proposals?
    Name: Susannah Simons/Tom Everest Representing: BBC What are your comments on these proposals? Executive Summary Broadcasting is changing. The growth of digital television and digital radio, the increased availability of services on demand, and the blurring of boundaries between platforms and content-providers are having a profound effect on how audiences listen to and watch our services. In the midst of this maelstrom, listening to radio is thriving, even as listeners explore new ways to find the programmes, networks and services that they want to hear. In this response to Ofcom’s consultation about aspects of the future of radio, the BBC argues that radio – as a discrete platform, not just as audio services delivered over other technologies – has and will continue to have a vital place in society. We argue that universal access to radio will continue to be important and that the provision of localness should be entrusted to all parts of the radio market, not just the BBC and community radio. Underpinning all of these arguments is our contention that discussions concerning the future of radio should involve all stakeholders in the industry: audiences, broadcasters, manufacturers, regulators, and Government. We consider that it is impossible to review all of the issues thoroughly without approaching them together and so propose a common review of both the technology and frequency issues and the commercial pressures facing the industry. Whilst we recognise that Ofcom has identified a need to make certain decisions now, we suggest that the current state of the technology and receiver markets make predictions about future listening habits unreliable.
