The document discusses the work of the United Kingdom Faculty of Public Health (FPH), which is a membership organization for public health professionals across the UK and other countries. It aims to improve and protect public health through standards, advocacy, training, and knowledge. The document then discusses various topics related to planetary health and environmental changes that impact health, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and land use change. It provides examples of how these environmental changes can lead to direct health effects like heatwaves or ecosystem-mediated effects like emerging infectious diseases.

Welcome to the Sustainable Health Scotland Conference 2016. Sustainable Health Scotland 2016 addressed the role of sustainable development within Scotland’s health services focusing on the shift to a preventative system. The Conference was a catalyst to a long-term campaign on behalf of National Services Scotland addressing health inequalities and patient services via the role of sustainable development which includes the first annual NHSScotland Sustainability Day event.
The Conference featured best-practice examples from across Scotland on how sustainability is supporting Boards to deliver high quality patient services as well as expert commentary on future initiatives to support the drive to a healthier Scotland.

These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
Learning objectives:
1. Define an electrocardiogram (ECG) and electrocardiography
2. Describe how dipoles generated by the heart produce the waveforms of the ECG
3. Describe the components of a normal electrocardiogram of a typical bipolar leads (limb II)
4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

impacts of 1.5C and 2C warming. This report predicts a
difference of 10 cm sea level rise and 10.4 million displaced
people by 2100, and a difference of 190 million premature
deaths and hundreds of millions of people forced into poverty
by 2050. Further, the IPCC discusses what is required to limit
warming to 1.5OC. Its conclusion is stark: we must reduce CO2
emissions by at least 45% in the next 12 years compared to
2010 levels; and achieve net zero CO2 production by 2050. This
is a tall order, requiring action on multiple fronts at all levels of
society – from the local to the global.

In the decade between 2001 and 2011, global military
spending increased by an estimated 92 percent, according to
Stockholm International Peace Research, although it fell by
1.9 percent in real terms in 2013 to $1,747 billion. At the same
time, according to the draft of a new study from the
International Peace Bureau (1), almost 10 gigatons of carbon
dioxide equivalent has been released into the atmosphere.
According to the Global Carbon Project, 2014 emissions are
set to reach a record high. Could there be some connection
between rising military expenditures and rising carbon
emissions?

MiddletonJ 'Public health low down with the Solent Delta
Blues’
72. An acceptable level of health for all the people of
the world by the year 2000 can be attained through
a fuller and better use of the world’s resources, a
considerable part of which is now spend on
armaments and military conflicts. A genuine policy
of independence, peace, détente, and
disarmament could and should release additional
resources that could well be devoted to peaceful
aims and in particular to the acceleration of social
and economic development of which primary
health care, as an essential part, should be allotted
its proper share’.
