the modest environmental relief resulting from the Transition to the Service economy
Ecological Economics, 2010Co-Authors: Sofia Teives Henriques, Astrid KanderAbstract:A Service Transition is supposed to lead to the decline of energy intensity (energy/GDP). We argue that this interpretation is overly optimistic because the shift to a Service economy is somewhat of an illusion in terms of real production. Several recent studies of structural effects on energy intensity have made the error of using sector shares in current prices, combined with GDP in constant prices, which is inconsistent and ignores the different behaviour of prices across sectors. We use the more correct method of sector shares in constant prices, and make an attempt to single out the effect from the real Service Transition by using two complementary methods: shift share analyses in current and constant prices, and Logarithmic Mean Divisia Index (LMDI) for 10 developed and 3 emerging economies. A Service Transition is rather modest in real terms. The major driver of the decline in energy intensity rests within the manufacturing sector. Meanwhile, the Transition to a Service sector had a small downward impact on energy intensity in 7 of the developed countries (and no impact in the others). For emerging economies like Brazil, Mexico and India, it is the residential sector that drives energy intensity down because of the declining share of this sector as the formal economy grows, and as a consequence of switching to more efficient fuels.

Transition from child and adolescent to adult mental health Services in the republic of ireland an investigation of process and operational practice
Early Intervention in Psychiatry, 2014Co-Authors: Niamh Mcnamara, Fiona Mcnicholas, Tamsin Ford, Moli Paul, Blanaid Gavin, Imelda Coyne, Walter Cullen, Karen Oconnor, Nicolas Ramperti, Barbara DooleyAbstract:Aim Ensuring a seamless Transition from child to adult mental health Services poses challenges for Services worldwide. This is an important process in the ongoing care of young people with mental illness; therefore, it is incumbent on all countries to probe their individual structures to assess the quality of mental health Service delivery to this vulnerable cohort. To date, there have been no published studies on the Transition from Child to Adult Mental Health Services in the Republic of Ireland. To this end, a nationwide survey of Transition policies of community mental health teams in both Services was conducted in order to compare best practice guidelines for Transition with current process and experience in clinical practice. Method Structured interviews were conducted with 57 consultant psychiatrists (representing 32 CAMHS teams and 25 AMHS teams) to obtain information on annual Transition numbers, existing Transition policies and operational practice from the professional perspective. Results Numbers of young people considered suitable for transfer to adult Services (M = 7.73, SD = 9.86, n = 25) were slightly higher than numbers who actually transferred (M = 4.50, SD = 3.33, n = 20). There is a lack of standardized practice nationwide regarding the Service Transition boundary, an absence of written Transition policies and protocols, and minimal formal interaction between child and adult Services. Conclusions The findings suggest that there are critical gaps between current operational practice and best practice guidelines. Future studies will investigate the impact this has on the Transition experiences of young people, their carers and health-care professionals.

mind the gap Service Transition and interface problems for patients with eating disorders
British Journal of Psychiatry, 2005Co-Authors: Janet Treasure, Ulrike Schmidt, Pippa HugoAbstract:Recent reports and guidelines that have an impact on the management of people with eating disorders are summarised. The core competencies of every psychiatrist should include: the ability to assess acute risk (including a medical evaluation) and long-term prognosis, and to know what treatments effectively address these needs.
