Thoughtful discussion led to one of our leaders posing the question: What should the WSMA be doing around climate change? There ensued a robust debate, which continued in the subsequent days by email. There were a range of views. Many wondered what WSMA’s role could or should be, while some questioned whether the WSMA should be in this space at all. Some shared concern about resources that might be required and others suggested staff Climate lead on the topic with some specific suggestions. No matter what, we know that the health of our environment is closely linked to the health of our communities. Who can forget the smoke from last summer’s Change wildfire season and how that impacted the health of Washingtonians? Already, state officials are predicting another tough fire season for our state. For many physician practices and hospital emergency rooms, that will mean Stirs Up seeing more patients whose health conditions are worse due to smoke inhalation. The elderly and the very young are the most vulnerable, as always. People with a Perfect asthma or other pulmonary problems are more likely to have their health further compromised by poor air quality. It’s no surprise the medical community is concerned about the impact of Storm climate change on patients and community health. According to a study in the Journal of the American Heart Association, when dense smoke is present, people over the age of 65 are 42 percent more likely to visit the emergency department for heart attacks and their cardiovascular risk is 40 percent higher. In real terms, this means wildfires are creating a public health crisis that is keeping pace with the increasing frequency and size of these events. Climate change also has an immediate impact on our state’s resources. In this year’s legislative session, state legislators approved $50 million more for wildfire prevention. That’s the largest appropriation in the state’s history, and it puts additional pressure on state dollars. And that pressure puts the squeeze on WSMA’s priority asks, such as increasing Medicaid reimbursements or eliminating a B&O tax increase. Clearly, the impact of climate change on health is a nuanced issue with a multitude of voices and opinions. But at its core, our concern is to help shape a comprehensive approach to environmental challenges so that we can strive to protect the health of patients. A good place to start is getting smart on the topic. Hopefully, this issue of WSMA Reports will prompt more conversation. Have some thoughts on the matter? Write me at [email protected].

    The Journal of Sierra Leone Studies – March, 2016. Editor: John Birchall Welcome to The Journal of Sierra Leone Studies. This is the first Journal dedicated solely to Sierra Leone to have been published for a long time. We hope that it will be of use to academics, students and anyone with an interest in what for many is a rather ‘special’ country. The Journal will not concentrate on one area of academic study and invites contributions from anyone researching and writing on Sierra Leone to send their articles to: John Birchall for consideration. Prospective contributions should be between 3500-5000 words in length, though we will in special circumstances consider longer articles and authors can select whether they wish to be peer reviewed or not. Articles should not have appeared in any other published form before. The Editorial Board reserves the right to suggest changes they consider are needed to the relevant author (s) and to not publish if such recommendations are ignored. We are particularly interested to encourage students working on subjects specifically relating to Sierra Leone to submit their work. Thank you so much for visiting The Journal and we hope that you (a) find it both interesting and of use to you and (b) that you will inform colleagues, friends and students of the existence of a Journal dedicated to the study of Sierra Leone.

  • Electromagnet (Edited from Wikipedia)
    Electromagnet (Edited from Wikipedia) SUMMARY An electromagnet is a type of magnet in which the magnetic field is produced by an electric current. The magnetic field disappears when the current is turned off. Electromagnets usually consist of insulated wire wound into a coil. A current through the wire creates a magnetic field which is concentrated in the hole in the center of the coil. The wire turns are often wound around a magnetic core made from a ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic material such as iron; the magnetic core concentrates the magnetic flux and makes a more powerful magnet. The main advantage of an electromagnet over a permanent magnet is that the magnetic field can be quickly changed by controlling the amount of electric current in the winding. However, unlike a permanent magnet that needs no power, an electromagnet requires a continuous supply of current to maintain the magnetic field. Electromagnets are widely used as components of other electrical devices, such as motors, generators, relays, loudspeakers, hard disks, MRI machines, scientific instruments, and magnetic separation equipment. Electromagnets are also employed in industry for picking up and moving heavy iron objects such as scrap iron and steel. HISTORY Danish scientist Hans Christian Ørsted discovered in 1820 that electric currents create magnetic fields. British scientist William Sturgeon invented the electromagnet in 1824. His first electromagnet was a horseshoe-shaped piece of iron that was wrapped with about 18 turns of bare copper wire (insulated wire didn't exist yet). The iron was varnished to insulate it from the windings. When a current was passed through the coil, the iron became magnetized and attracted other pieces of iron; when the current was stopped, it lost magnetization.

  • Opium: Explorations of an Ambiguous Drug
    3 Opium: Explorations of an Ambiguous Drug Introduction Since at least the 1960s, when increasing drug abuse became an issue of political and public concern in the West, the history of opium has been of considerable interest. As in other areas of historical investigation inspired by today’s problems, the focus tended to be on precursor stages or roots of present phenomena, i.e., attention was devoted mainly to earlier perceptions of the drug’s psychotropic and addictive properties, and to medical and social responses to this. The by now classical study in this field was published in 1962/63 by Glenn Sonnedecker, who gave an overview of the development of the concept of opiate addiction from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. Sonnedecker documented Western knowledge about the dangers of habitual consumption of the drug since the Renaissance, mainly from reports of travellers to countries of the Near, Middle and Far East about indigenous opium-eaters. Yet he also pointed out that an awareness of opium addiction as a serious medical or even social problem could not be found in the West before the nineteenth century. 1 This was confirmed by John C. Kramer in a brief survey of the medical uses and misuses of opium in Western countries during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and more recently in a comprehensive study of the history of opium addiction by Margit Kreutel. 2 Accordingly most of the scholarly work on historical aspects of opium has been devoted to developments from the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century onwards, when the non-medical, recreational use of the drug became popular in the Western world.

In 1949 all the documents prior to 1858 were removed from the jurisdiction of the Chester Probate Registry and divided into three groups : those relating to Welsh estates were deposited in the National Library of Wales, the Cheshire ones went to the Cheshire Record Office in Chester, and the remainder — by far the largest portion — which related to Lancashire estates, together with the indexes, registers and act books were deposited in the Lancashire Record Office in Preston. All the wills proved and administrations granted in the Chester Court for the period 1821 to 1825 are now listed in this volume in three indexes, baldly described as Lancashire, Cheshire and Welsh, although several documents in each group relate to other parts of the country.
