Physicians Policing Physicians: The Development Of Medical Staff Peer Review Law At California Hospitals, Philip L. Merkel

University of San Francisco Law Review

THE LAW GOVERNING medical staff peer review at California hospitals has changed dramatically over the last thirty years. The days when a hospital could make arbitrary credentialing decisions without affording physicians any recourse are long gone. Primarily as a result of appellate court decisions and legislation, there has been a steady movement toward the formalization of peer review. This article examines the development of peer review law at California hospitals.' It also identifies a number of shortcomings in the current system and suggests solutions to these problems.

Toward A Criminal Law For Cyberspace: A New Model Of Law Enforcement?, Susan W. Brenner

School of Law Faculty Publications

This article argues that one consequence of the increasing proliferation of computer technology and the attendant migration of human activities, including illegal activities, into cyberspace is that the efficacy of our traditional approach to enforcing the criminal law is eroding. (1) As Section II explains, it is already apparent that the traditional model is not an effective means of dealing with cybercrime, i.e., crime the commission of which entails the use of computer technology. (2)

We are therefore seeing the emergence of an alternative approach to law enforcement, (3) one that emphasizes collaboration between the public and private sectors and …

Unlimited Congressional Power Under The Copyright Clause In Article I Of The Constitution: Eldred V. Ashcroft, Sherry Lynn Murphy

University of San Francisco Law Review

HAVE YOU EVER wondered why restaurants make up ridiculous songs to sing "happy birthday" to customers? No one knows the words or melodies, so no one sings along. Why do restaurants do this, instead of just singing the "Happy Birthday to You" song that everyone knows and loves, the one every kid has sung to him or her at birthday parties? The reason is because it is illegal for restaurants, in fact for anyone, to sing "Happy Birthday to You" unless a royalty fee is paid for permission to use the song. Although the song is an important part of …

Fractured Freedoms: The United States’ Postmodern Approach To Protecting Privacy, Adam Todd

School of Law Faculty Publications

Privacy law in the United States can be characterized as postmodern. It is fragmented and reflects postmodern paradox. This article is particularly concerned with the threats to the freedoms that underlie the right to privacy in the United States caused by this postmodern approach-particularly the lack of comprehensive regulation or protections against violations of privacy. The weaknesses of the United States' fragmented approach are apparent when contrasted to the more comprehensive and centrally-regulated European approach, such as that found in the European Data Privacy Directive.

But one cannot simply state that the United States should borrow the comprehensive European approach. …

Paper Trail: One Method Of Information Literacy Assessment, Jennifer Nutefall

University Libraries Publications

Assessing students' information literacy skills can be difficult depending on the involvement of the librarian in a course. To overcome this, librarians created an assignment called the Paper Trail, where students wrote a short essay about their research process and reflected on what they would do differently. Through reviewing and grading these papers, librarians determined whether students understood the difference between the library catalog and article databases, evaluated the students' search terms to see if they used effective topic keywords and Boolean operators, and learned more on how the students reflected on their research process.

Facts And Fantasies About Uc Berkeley Admissions: A Critical Evaluation Of Regent John Moores' Reports, Asian Law Caucus

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

UC Regent John Moores recently authored a confidential draft report that purports to analyze admissions at the University of California's flagship Berkeley campus. The Moores Report is largely focused on SAT scores, particularly the admission of some applicants with SAT scores below 1000. Unfortunately, the Moores Report contributed to widespread misconceptions about comprehensive review at Berkeley, particularly regarding the admission of a small number of students with relatively low SAT scores. In reality, the data show that students admitted with relatively low SAT scores can be highly qualified for admission to Berkeley and that Berkeley admits virtually all in-state applicants …

A High Stakes Mistake: Ignoring The Iep Team's Recommendations In Implementing California's High School Exit Exams, A. Angelique Aitken

UC Law Journal of Race and Economic Justice

Although federal and California law guarantee each elementary and secondary student a "free and appropriate education," California has decided to implement high stakes exit exams that arguably deny students this right. The Individualized Education Plan team members are guardians of a child's free and appropriate education and best understand the disabled student's academic abilities and achievements. By deferring to the Individualized Education Plan team, students with learning disabilities would have equal access to learning, equal opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge, and equal privileges that accompany a high school graduation.

Decision Tools Manual Humanitarian Mine Action Projects, Cisr

Global CWD Repository

In 2003, the United States Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs/Weapons Removal and Abatement, (PM/WRA) tasked the James Madison University Mine Action Information Center (MAIC) with producing a cost-benefit analysis of two demining programs to be used to develop a model to analyze the quantitative impacts, expected results, and suggested prioritization of mine clearance activities. Prioritization was to be accomplished within the context of socio-economic development programs. Lessons learned from UN guidance, earlier studies, experts in the mine action community, and field studies influenced the development of the decision tool for prioritization of humanitarian mine action projects.

The Landmine Action Smart Book, Cisr

Global CWD Repository

There are a number of resources available at the MAIC and elsewhere to help people get involved. This edition of The Landmine Action Smart Book is perhaps the best place to start.

Each chapter of the Smart Book provides an overview of the components involved in reaching our ultimate goal of …

Bluetooth Enabled Ad-Hoc Networks: Performance Evaluation Of A Self-Healing Scatternet Formation Protocol, Rade Trimceski

Dissertations, Master's Theses and Master's Reports - Open

Bluetooth wireless technology is a robust short-range communications system designed for low power (10 meter range) and low cost. It operates in the 2.4 GHz Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) band and it employs two techniques for minimizing interference: a frequency hopping scheme which nominally splits the 2.400 - 2.485 GHz band in 79 frequency channels and a time division duplex (TDD) scheme which is used to switch to a new frequency channel on 625 μs boundaries. During normal operation a Bluetooth device will be active on a different frequency channel every 625 μs, thus minimizing the chances of continuous interference …

Towards Heterogeneous Faith Communities: Understanding Transitional Processes In Seventh-Day Adventist Churches In South Africa, Alan Parker, Ph.D.

Faculty Works

This dissertation examines racial transition toward heterogeneity in three Seventh-day Adventist congregations in South Africa. This dissertation aims to uncover social factors involved in this change as well as to set forth a theological direction with application to the local faith community.

The first section examines recent studies and literature on multiracial congregations, indicating a possible breakdown between theory and practice. Using insights from Kuhn, Gadamer, Habermas, and Geertz, a critical correlational approach is proposed using narrative, community-based praxis, dialectical thinking, and eschatological vision. The theological methods of Groome and Browning are combined to suggest a four-phase approach to practical …
