Opening Speech of the ICEDIVE eighty four convention by means of His Royal Highness Prince Bertil of Sweden i'm very happy to be invited to open the overseas convention ICEDIVE eighty four, facing clinical and technical difficulties of diving and comparable underwater actions in arctic stipulations. till fresh occasions, the arctic used to be thought of astrange and distant sector of teenybopper value. even if, in an international with diminishing typical assets, arctic parts became a zone of worldwide value as a result of their huge, immense assets and strategie place. definite specialists think that greater than 50% of oil reserves are "sleeping" in those northern parts that are chilly, harsh and adversarial to guy. Operations in arctic components are tremendous tricky, pricey, and insist excessive degrees of technical, medical and physiological fulfillment. One may still keep in mind for instance, that Alaskan oil funding onIy turned economically achievable after the 1973-1974 fee explosion. fresh political/military problems within the Gulf have elevated curiosity within the improvement of polar assets. This convention is exclusive because it is the 1st time that clinical and technical experts attracted to the matter of diving in arctic stipulations have met in a world discussion board. improvement of the arctic assets is an issue of foreign urgency, and it pleases me that scientists from the united states, Canada, the USSR, Australia and Europe have amassed the following in Stockholm to give their event and to debate difficulties during this field.

Medical Ethics and Medical Law: A Symbiotic Relationship
Scientific legislations and ethics are often talked about in conjunction, and seem jointly in lots of textbooks. yet do they mix to shape a cohesive unit, and do they gain one another? it can be argued that they don't, yet particularly undergo a symbiotic courting, clashing instead of cooperating. clinical Ethics and scientific legislation examines this courting, and the way the legislations sees scientific ethics.

In 1987, a convention in this subject was once held in Maastricht, the Netherlands, at the celebration of the founding of the eu Society for Philosophy of medication and future health Care (ESPMH).

I therefore postulate that the traditional concept of the regulated skin blood flow is not an effective means of thermoregulation in man, and that the surface temperatures of the skin over the body are due more to the conductive transfer of heat through the subcutaneous tissues to the surface than to the convective transport of heat with the blood. But still, man does regulate some of the temperatures of the skin. When skin temperatures are measured at different points of the skin and averaged, there seems to be evidence that the temperature is actively regulated.
From these results it would seem apparent that the process of cold adaptation (which reaches a maximum by 20 days) parallels the attenuation of the hypothermie effect of ethanol. , 1981b). ro~ ~ Q) 0, • 6 Q) E-t Y .....

ENVIRONMENTAL STRESS 37 that the underlying eentral meehanisms mediating the metabolie responses co cold exposure are also involved in suppressing the hypothermie response co ethanol.
These factors cannot be accurately quantified, but can give an indication whether a person is likely to give a larger or smaller metabolic rate than predicted by the usual metabolic rates in the heat and cold (these rates are given in Hayward and Keatinge, 1981). Another major factor which affects this response, and which came to light as a result of experiments prompted by problems in thermal control of divers in the North Sea, is the pattern of skin temperature as distinct from its mean level.
