Forensic geoscience on, and in, water

Alastair Ruffell, Jamie K. Pringle, Neil Powell, Amy O'Keefe, more

Geoscientists are being increasingly asked by law enforcement, environmental agencies and even wildlife trusts to investigate suspected illegal activities in and around water bodies for criminal or civil investigations. Searches and surveys in aquatic environments can be challenging, depending on the item(s) of interest that is being looked for, the available search teams and equipment and the search...

Geoforensic search to crime scene: Remote sensing, geophysics, and dogs

Alastair Ruffell, Benjamin Rocke, Neil Powell

Journal of Forensic Sciences > 68 > 4 > 1379 - 1385

In the absence of surface indications of burial sites, law enforcement or humanitarian organizations are faced with the difficult task of focusing large‐scale ground searches to a manageable excavation area. A geoforensic‐based survey may exclude parts of the landscape for reasons such as diggability or viewshed analysis but leave areas still too large for invasive exploration. This work examines...

Crisis management: Regional approaches to geopolitical crises and natural hazards

Jonathan Raikes, Timothy F. Smith, Neil Powell, Dana C. Thomsen, more

Geographical Research > 60 > 1 > 168 - 178

Crisis management planning and response can be improved by regional governments and organisations learning from one another. Specifically, comparative learning may be a benefit when groups understand the perceived effectiveness of various regional approaches when responding to different types of hazards. This article presents findings from a comparative case study analysis of regional governance perspectives...

GPs' perceptions of AMR and antimicrobial stewardship

Michael Wilcock, Kathryn Wisner, Neil Powell

Prescriber > 27 > 8 > 44 - 47

The authors present the results of a small survey conducted within NHS Kernow CCG to determine GPs' awareness of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial stewardship and how this influences their prescribing decisions, as well as their suggestions on how antibiotic prescribing practices could be improved.

Policy Coherence for Sustainable Agricultural Development: Uncovering Prospects and Pretence within the Swedish Policy for Global Development

Rasmus Kløcker Larsen, Neil Powell

Development Policy Review > 31 > 6 > 757 - 776

Within the European Union, promotion of ‘policy coherence’ is intended to improve co‐ordination across sectors and groups of professionals, who make competing claims for agricultural development in low‐income countries. This article examines the prospects for stakeholders in Sweden to implement such a policy, drawing on experiences from the launch of a national multi‐stakeholder platform with the...

What do hospital staff in the UK think are the causes of penicillin medication errors?

Michael Wilcock, Geoff Harding, Lorraine Moore, Ian Nicholls, more

International Journal of Clinical Pharmacy > 2013 > 35 > 1 > 72-78

Background Medication errors are a potential major threat to patient’s health, and allergic reactions occurring in patients with known allergies are an important preventable form of adverse drug event. The use of penicillin antibiotics in patients who are allergic to penicillin, in particular, is a major concern. Aim To survey staff attitudes and beliefs to incidents involving penicillin allergic...

A framework for facilitating dialogue between policy planners and local climate change adaptation professionals: Cases from Sweden, Canada and Indonesia

Rasmus Kløcker Larsen, Åsa Gerger Swartling, Neil Powell, Brad May, more

Environmental Science and Policy > 2012 > 23 > Complete > 12-23

The dominant approach to mainstreaming climate adaptation into sectoral policies relies on an ‘upscaling’ model in which it is envisaged to extract lessons from local change processes to inspire generic sub-national and national policies. One of the central methodological questions, which remain unanswered in climate change adaptation research, is exactly how public policy can learn from highly contextual...

Approaches for understanding and embedding stakeholder realities in mangrove rehabilitation processes in Southeast Asia: lessons learnt from Mahakam Delta, East Kalimantan

Neil Powell, Maria Osbeck

Sustainable Development > 18 > 5 > 260 - 270

Using a soft systems narrative, this paper examines the implementation process growing out of a policy environment intended to promote the rehabilitation of mangrove ecosystems. The analysis is based on research conducted 2007–09 in the Mahakam Delta in East Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo. The rich and diverse natural resource base of the area has turned East Kalimantan into one of the wealthiest areas...

Combining social learning with agro-ecological research practice for more effective management of nitrate pollution

Marco Toderi, Neil Powell, Giovanna Seddaiu, Pier Paolo Roggero, more

Environmental Science and Policy > 2007 > 10 > 6 > 551-563

The path of research followed by a team of agro-ecologists who sought to address a complex environment issue by means of a social learning approach is described. Agro-ecological data from monitoring nitrates in surface and ground water and agricultural practices at micro-catchment scale provided the material for the process. The failure of scientists to deploy scientific data effectively in order...
