Pigeonholing Illness: Medical Diagnosis As A Legal Construct, Lars Noah

UC Law Journal

Disease definitions and clinical judgments routinely affect coverage and reimbursement decisions by health insurers, the licensing determinations of regulatory agencies charged with reviewing new therapeutic technologies, evidentiary and substantive rulings by the judiciary in personal injury lawsuits and criminal trials, eligibility decisions in disability programs, and the resolution of claims before workers' compensation tribunals. This reliance on the definition and identification of disease by the medical profession fails to appreciate the extent to which our conceptions of illness are socially constructed rather than based on value-neutral scientific data and the application of technical expertise.

Just as social forces shape medical …

Public Health And Private Medicine: Regulation In Colonial And Early National America, Nissa M. Strottman

UC Law Journal

Historians are currently debating the role of regulation in eighteenth- and nineteenth century American public policy. Among the issues involved in this debate are the prevalence of regulation and the emerging distinction between private and public law. One historian, Morton Horwitz, has argued that the separation between private and public law, which resulted in less government regulation of commercial activities occurred early in the nineteenth century. In contrast, William Novak argues that regulation was pervasive in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America, and that the split between private and public law did not occur until the 1870's.

Modes Of Regulatory Enforcement And The Problem Of Administrative Discretion, Ashutosh Bhagwat

UC Law Journal

In addition to regulating different substantive areas, administrative agencies differ in the enforcement systems they use to implement regulatory regimes. In this article, Professor Bhagwat identifies a crucial distinction between ex ante enforcement regimes, which authorize agencies to review, approve, or disapprove of regulated conduct before it occurs, and ex post regimes, which limit agencies to prosecuting and penalizing regulatory violations after they have occurred. Ex ante authority appears in a variety of guises, including licensing schemes, preclearance or preapproval requirements, and certification requirements. Their common feature is that ex ante enforcement regimes place the burden of inertia, delay, and …

An Investigation Into The Implementation And Performance Of Spectrally Shaped Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex, David Lahiri Bhatoolaul

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex (OFDM) is a flexible, robust multi-carrier modulation scheme. The orthogonal spectral shaping and spacing of OFDM sub-carriers ensure that their spectra can be over-lapped without leading to undesirable inter-carrier interference. Conventional OFDM systems have non-band limited Sinc(x) shaped subcarrier spectra. An alternative form of OFDM, referred to hereafter as Spectrally Shaped OFDM, employs band limited Nyquist shaped sub-carrier spectra. The research described in this thesis investigates the strengths and weaknesses of Spectrally Shaped OFDM as a potential modulation scheme for future mobile radio applications. From this research a novel Digital Signal Processing architecture for modulating and …

Advanced Magnetic Thin-Film Heads Under Read-While-Write Operation, Frank Zhigang Wang

School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Theses

A Read-While-Write (RWW) operation for tape and/or potentially disk applications is needed in the following three cases: 1. High reliability; 2. Data servo systems; 3. Buried servo systems. All these applications mean that the read (servo) head and write head are operative simultaneously. Consequently, RWW operation will require work to suppress the so-called crossfeed field radiation from the write head. Traditionally, write-read crossfeed has been reduced in conventional magnetic recording heads by a variety of screening methods, but the effectness of these methods is very limited. On the other hand, the early theoretical investigations of the crossfeed problem concentrating on …

Structuring Time And Task In Electronic Brainstorming, Alan R. Dennis, Jay E. Aronson, William G. Heninger, Edward D. Walker Ii

Faculty Publications

There are many ways in which a GSS can beused to support group brainstorming. This paper reports the results of an experiment that manipulated task structure and time structure. Groups electronically brainstormed on intact tasks(where all parts of the task were presented simultaneously) or on partitioned tasks (where three subcategories of the task were presented to thegroups). The time periods in which groups worked were either one 30-minute time period or three 10-minute periods separated by two-minute breaks. Groups in the partitioned task treatment generated 40% more ideas, but there were no time effects. These differences are attributed to the …

The Judiciary And Public Choice, Frank B. Cross

UC Law Journal

Professor Cross challenges the conclusion of many Public Choice theorists that government's judicial branch is more amenable to making good public policy than the legislative or executive branches. These theorists' conclusion is based partly on the notion that lawmakers, perennially concerned about funding reelection campaigns, are more susceptible to narrow special interests than are life-tenured judges. Professor Cross points out, however, that this conclusion ignores aspects of the structure of the judiciary that lend it to manipulation by special interests at the expense of the public interest. Special interests can exercise control over public policy through the judiciary in a …

Giving Up And Giving In: Young Adolescents' Dilemmas When Caring For A Grandparent With Alzheimer's Disease, Diane Lee Beach Edd

Dissertations

Caregivers of persons with Alzheimer's disease have been studied extensively; the vast majority of caregiver research has focused on spouses and adult children, negating the impact caregiving has on younger family members. Importantly, 75% of caregivers are female; 31% of these women have children at home under the age of 12 and 23% live with a child aged 12–17. As such, adolescents will be increasingly involved in the care of Alzheimer's victims. This study sought to examine the experiences of these individuals. Specifically, what is it like for an adolescent to provide care for a grandparent afflicted with Alzheimer's disease? …

The Community College Coach: Leadership Practices And Athlete Satisfaction, Jodi P. Coffman Edd

Dissertations

Community college coaches and athletes completed the Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI), to assess the leadership practices of coaches of various sports. Soccer coaches and their athletes were also surveyed to assess the impact of the congruence of leadership practices ratings upon athlete satisfaction. Two samples were taken from Spring and Fall, 1998 sports: (a) 225 full-time head coaches of team sports in which there was a male and female equivalent in California's community colleges, and (b) 280 men's and women's soccer athletes. The descriptive statistics conducted indicated that there were more similarities than differences between the male and female coaches, …
