BRIEF OF PETITIONERS On Writ of Certiorari to the Utah Court of Appeals

A report on an Arts Administration internship in the Quality Seal Amphitheatre at the Louisiana World Exposition, Fall, 1984

On August 20, 1984, I began an internship with the Louisiana World Exposition which continued until November 11, 1984. During the course of that internship, opportunities for applying the principles and practices of arts administration were presented in accounting, contracts, and public relations. I have endeavored to present in the pages that follow an overview of my staff position with the Louisiana World Exposition Amphitheatre, beginning with a look at the Amphitheatre\u27s goals, management structure, and management philosophy. The existence of a basic management problem--that of communication--is discussed, with possible solutions to the problem presented. In concluding this presentation, an effort is made to establish some concrete short-range and long-range effects of the internship. Throughout this paper the term top-level management is used to indicate the source of ideas, impressions that I received, memos, etc. to which no specific upper management name could be attached, but which lines of communication, such as memos, informal conversations, etc., indicated was a management level higher than the manager of the Amphitheatre. With this basic comment in mind, the exploration of the Louisiana World Exposition Liggett and Myers Amphitheatre as an entity in itself begins

Anointing as the Iconic Interruption of the Loving God

The Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick has traditionally been conceived within pre-modern conceptual categories and the supporting structure or worldview of Aristotelian metaphysics. Postmodern sacramental theology suggests a reflexive reformulation, one that no longer sees the world as the transparent horizon of experiences within which the divine can be pointed out, but rather that the incompleteness and contingency of being human offers hidden glimpses of the divine. This reformulation expresses the sacrament of anointing as an experience of iconic interruption of the loving God within the context of the suffering, vulnerability, and dying of a member of the Christian community. Liessjen, writing on a postmodern understanding of the sacrament of anointing , has proposed an outline, a mere sketch of the communal and pneumatological dimensions of the sacrament that shift to the foreground in this new millennium of theological reflection. I explore the expanded horizons of the sacrament of anointing of the sick that come into view when the postmodern concepts of icon and interruption are utilized. This dissertation examines not only the above mentioned communal and pneumatological dimensions of the sacrament in more depth, but also the accompanying openness in mystery to ever new contexts, the theological limits that arise from these contexts, and the questions that arise when traditional sources dialog with postmodern cultural anthropologies implicit in these contexts. Chapter One presents a brief history of Anointing of the Sick and how each community and time attempted to better understand the mysterious gift of divine love celebrated and actualized in their communal rituals of visiting, healing, and reconciling the sick. Chapter Two examines the theology of Anointing in the revised Rite. Chapter Three examines anointing as an iconic interruption of the loving God. The fourth chapter examines the experience of iconic interruption of the loving God in the sacramental ritual of anointing of the sick. Chapter Five looks at specific case studies and address issues that arise as postmodern conceptual categories are used to focus any systematic view of the Sacrament of Anointing. Iconic interruption provides a powerful set of concepts that provoke new insights for the changing perceptions of culture and social life in our world

UNDERSTANDING INTERRUPTIONS IN HEALTHCARE: DEVELOPING A MODEL

Developing a Model Interruption is a known human factor that contributes to errors and catastrophic events in healthcare as well as other high-risk industries. The landmark Institute of Medicine (IOM) report, To Err is Human, brought attention to the significance of preventable errors in medicine and suggested that interruptions could be a contributing factor. Previous studies of interruptions in healthcare did not offer a conceptual model by which to study interruptions. As a result of the serious consequences of interruptions investigated in other high-risk industries, there is a need to develop a model to describe, understand, explain, and predict interruptions and their consequences in healthcare. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a model grounded in the literature and to use the model to describe and explain interruptions in healthcare. Specifically, this model would be used to describe and explain interruptions occurring in a Level One Trauma Center. A trauma center was chosen because this environment is characterized as intense, unpredictable, and interrupt-driven. The first step in developing the model began with a review of the literature which revealed that the concept interruption did not have a consistent definition in either the healthcare or non-healthcare literature. Walker and Avant’s method of concept analysis was used to clarify and define the concept. The analysis led to the identification of five defining attributes which include (1) a human experience, (2) an intrusion of a secondary, unplanned, and unexpected task, (3) discontinuity, (4) externally or internally initiated, and (5) situated within a context. However, before an interruption could commence, five conditions known as antecedents must occur. For an interruption to take place (1) an intent to interrupt is formed by the initiator, (2) a physical signal must pass a threshold test of detection by the recipient, (3) the sensory system of the recipient is stimulated to respond to the initiator, (4) an interruption task is presented to recipient, and (5) the interruption task is either accepted or rejected by v the recipient. An interruption was determined to be quantifiable by (1) the frequency of occurrence of an interruption, (2) the number of times the primary task has been suspended to perform an interrupting task, (3) the length of time the primary task has been suspended, and (4) the frequency of returning to the primary task or not returning to the primary task. As a result of the concept analysis, a definition of an interruption was derived from the literature. An interruption is defined as a break in the performance of a human activity initiated internal or external to the recipient and occurring within the context of a setting or location. This break results in the suspension of the initial task by initiating the performance of an unplanned task with the assumption that the initial task will be resumed. The definition is inclusive of all the defining attributes of an interruption. This is a standard definition that can be used by the healthcare industry. From the definition, a visual model of an interruption was developed. The model was used to describe and explain the interruptions recorded for an instrumental case study of physicians and registered nurses (RNs) working in a Level One Trauma Center. Five physicians were observed for a total of 29 hours, 31 minutes. Eight registered nurses were observed for a total of 40 hours 9 minutes. Observations were made on either the 0700–1500 or the 1500-2300 shift using the shadowing technique. Observations were recorded in the field note format. The field notes were analyzed by a hybrid method of categorizing activities and interruptions. The method was developed by using both a deductive a priori classification framework and by the inductive process utilizing line-byline coding and constant comparison as stated in Grounded Theory. The following categories were identified as relative to this study: Intended Recipient - the person to be interrupted Unintended Recipient - not the intended recipient of an interruption; i.e., receiving a phone call that was incorrectly dialed Indirect Recipient – the incidental recipient of an interruption; i.e., talking with another, thereby suspending the original activity Recipient Blocked – the intended recipient does not accept the interruption Recipient Delayed – the intended recipient postpones an interruption Self-interruption – a person, independent of another person, suspends one activity to perform another; i.e., while walking, stops abruptly and talks to another person Distraction – briefly disengaging from a task Organizational Design – the physical layout of the workspace that causes a disruption in workflow Artifacts Not Available – supplies and equipment that are not available in the workspace causing a disruption in workflow Initiator – a person who initiates an interruption Interruption by Organizational Design and Artifacts Not Available were identified as two new categories of interruption. These categories had not previously been cited in the literature. Analysis of the observations indicated that physicians were found to perform slightly fewer activities per hour when compared to RNs. This variance may be attributed to differing roles and responsibilities. Physicians were found to have more activities interrupted when compared to RNs. However, RNs experienced more interruptions per hour. Other people were determined to be the most commonly used medium through which to deliver an interruption. Additional mediums used to deliver an interruption vii included the telephone, pager, and one’s self. Both physicians and RNs were observed to resume an original interrupted activity more often than not. In most interruptions, both physicians and RNs performed only one or two interrupting activities before returning to the original interrupted activity. In conclusion the model was found to explain all interruptions observed during the study. However, the model will require an even more comprehensive study in order to establish its predictive value

Applying the Engineering Statechart Formalism to the evaluation of soft real-time in operating systems : a use case tailored modeling and analysis technique

Multimedia applications that have emerged in recent years impose unique requirements on an underlying general purpose operating system (GPOS). The suitability of a GPOS for multimedia processing is judged by its soft real-time capabilities. To date, the question of how these capabilities can be assessed has scarcely been addressed: this is a gap in GPOS research. By answering questions on the impacts of the Interrupt Handling Facility (IHF) on the overall soft real-time capabilities of a GPOS, this thesis contributes to the filling of this blank space. The Engineering Statechart Formalism (ESF), a use case tailored formal method of modeling real-world OS, is syntactically and semantically defined. Models of the IHF of selected real-world operating systems are then created by means of this technique. As no appropriate real-time concept fitting the goals of this thesis as yet exists, a suitable definition is constructed. By projecting this system-wide idea to the interrupt subsystem, specific indicators for this subsystem are erived. These indicators are then evaluated by applying formal techniques such as graph-based analysis and temporal logic model checking to the ESF models. Finally, the assertions derived from this evaluation are interpreted with respect to their impacts on real-time multimedia processing in different general purpose operating systems.Multimedia-Anwendungen haben in den letzten Jahren weite Verbreitung erfahren. Solche Anwendungen stellen besondere Anforderungen an das Betriebssystem (BS), auf dem sie ausgeführt werden. Insbesondere Echtzeitfähigkeiten des Betriebssystems sind von Bedeutung, wenn es um seine Eignung für Multimedia-Verarbeitung geht. Bis heute wurde die Frage, wie sich diese Fähigkeiten konkret innerhalb eines BS manifestieren, nur unzureichend untersucht. Die vorliegende Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Füllung dieser Lücke in der BS-Forschung. Die Effekte des Subsystems zur Unterbrechungsbehandlung in BS auf die Echtzeitfähigkeit des Gesamtsystems werden detailliert auf Basis von Modellen dieses Subsystems in verschiedenen BS analysiert. Um eine formale Auswertung zu erlauben, wird eine auf den Anwendungsfall zugeschnittene formale Methode zur BS-Modellierung verwendet. Die spezifizierte Syntax und Semantik dieses Engineering Statechart Formalism (ESF) basieren auf dem klassischen Statechart-Formalismus. Da bislang kein geeigneter Echtzeit-Begriff existiert, wird eine konsistente Definition hergeleitet. Durch die Abbildung dieser sich auf das Gesamtsystem beziehenden Eigenschaft auf die Unterbrechungsbehandlung werden spezifische Indikatoren für dieses Subsystem hergeleitet. Die Ausprägungen dieser Indikatoren für die verschiedenen untersuchten Betriebssyteme werden anhand formaler Methoden wie graphbasierter Analyse und Temporal Logic Model Checking ausgewertet. Die Interpretation der Untersuchungsergebnisse liefert Aussagen über die Effekte der Implementierung der Unterbrechungsbehandlung auf die Echtzeitfähigkeit der untersuchten Betriebssysteme bei der Verarbeitung von multimedialen Daten
