This document describes a study that compares ultrasound measurements of intima-media thickness (IMT) in the left and right common carotid arteries. The study analyzed ultrasound images of 1104 subjects and found that (1) there was no significant difference between IMT measurements on the left and right sides for healthy subjects, (2) IMT measurements were significantly higher for subjects with cardiovascular disease on both sides, and (3) IMT increased with age for both healthy and diseased groups. An automated system was developed and achieved comparable IMT measurements to manual delineation. The system achieved 64% accuracy in distinguishing healthy from diseased subjects using IMT from both carotid arteries.

In December 2014 the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) published, ‘Sustainable development in higher education - HEFCE’s role to date and a framework for its future actions’, outlining some of the ways higher education can contribute to sustainable development. The document included a framework for HEFCE’s support for the sector, whilst encompassing their earlier policy statements on sustainable development and carbon reduction. This will also have a bearing on future funding.
Key points from the document:
Protecting and enhancing quality of life for current and future generations is central to sustainable development. There are social, environmental and economic dimensions to this, and the benefits and the challenges are considerable.
Higher education is working to address these challenges from a unique position in society. Its institutions can play a substantial role through teaching and research, through influence on staff and students, through business operations, and through the sustainability of their campuses. We want sustainable development to be central to higher education.
In 2010, HEFCE, Universities UK and GuildHE demonstrated co-leadership by publishing carbon reduction targets for higher education in England. These targets were based on extensive research and wide consultation. The overall sector target is reduction of Scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 34 per cent by 2020 and 80 per cent by 2050, against a 1990 baseline.
The higher education sector has demonstrated strong commitment to these targets, with each higher education institution producing a carbon management plans which move the sector substantially towards the afore mentioned targets. Research published by HEFCE in 2010 showed that for the 45 universities with data for both years, emissions per full-time equivalent student were on average 39 per cent lower in 2005 than in 1990.
Institutions have risen to the challenge of reducing environmental impacts by setting themselves stretching targets for carbon reduction. They have made significant investments and altered their ways of working, monitoring their progress with increasingly sophisticated systems whilst disseminating good practice and helping institutions learn from each other.
Although these achievements are creditable, more needs to be done if the sector’s contribution to internationally agreed target carbon reductions is to be achieved.
Sustainable Education provided the platform for discussion and dissemination of good practice whilst also highlighting the tools and systems in place to ensure your institution adheres to carbon reduction targets and becomes economically and environmentally sustainable.

75. Safety Schemes in Procurement
Who has heard of SSIP?
Who is registered with a 3rd party H&S assessment
scheme e.g. CHAS, Safe Contractor, Safe Mark, SMAS,
Altius, Eurosafe, etc etc?
Who is registered with
more than one scheme?
Who wants the hassle and
cost of registering more
than once?
77. Common sense would say
Currently ~33 scheme
members
All assessed to Appendix 4
of the ACoP of CDM 2007
Mutual recognition
between different schemes
