Spatial structuring approach to information technology use and workplace change
No full textThesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2005.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 203-211).This dissertation uses the disparate spatial practices of radiologists and outpatient physicians to frame a study of the relationship between space, information technology use and workplace change, with a particular focus on relationships of control. Drawing from diverse urban, organization and economic literatures, I propose a spatial structuring approach to examining issues of space and work practices. From this perspective, spatial practices are seen as both shaping and being shaped by information technology use. The spatial practices of outpatient physicians prior to adopting Electronic Medical Records (EMRs) shaped the implementations of the EMRs in that they led to a series of problems in coordinating outpatient work, problems that EMRs were adopted in part to solve. The EMRs, in turn, were successfully used to further extend physician work in time and space, as well as to better coordinate and control their work. For radiologists, their historic spatial practices shaped the way they used teleradiology applications to respond to a recent, and overwhelming, scarcity of radiologists. Radiologists were able to successfully exert control over the offshoring of their work, in part due to their long history of working at a distance from their patients and other physicians.(cont.) Radiology work has been done remotely since the inception of their profession, so the fact that it can now be done from thousands of miles away, rather than a hundred yards away, did not appreciably lessen their ability to exert professional control. This research also links spatial practices at work to temporal practices at work. I use a comparison of the ways in which outpatient physicians and radiologists work in space and time to highlight the importance of these practices in shaping and being shaped by the use of information technologies. In both cases, information technologies that enabled physicians to extend their work in space were used to extend their work in time, as well. Once again I link these complex dynamics to issues of control, both of the information technologies in question, and of medical work more generally.by Ari Goelman.Ph.D
Uma proposta de ensino de literatura a partir da obra do escritor alagoano Ari Denisson
No full textThis research is based on a qualitative investigation, of the action research type, which suggests that literature classes should study the life and work of the author Ari Denisson, a poet and short story writer from Maceió, with the aim of valuing talents from Alagoas and encouraging a taste for reading and literary production. The actions of this project took place in a public school in a first-year high school class in 2024 and focused on the poetic work “baroque.doc” and the narrative work “Contos Periféricos”. A six-hour teaching sequence culminated in the author's visit to the school and a round of questions from the students. The interview was preceded by analyses of the selected texts and a presentation of the author's biography. The expected result is a way of rescuing the culture of Alagoas and Maceió and a greater appreciation of literature in Portuguese language classes. The authors who are references for this research range from Cosson, Boal, Freire, Rojo, to Antunes, among others.A presente pesquisa baseia-se em uma investigação de cunho qualitativo, do tipo pesquisa-ação que sugere para as aulas de literatura o estudo da vida e obra do autor Ari Denisson, poeta e contista maceioense, no intuito de valorizar os talentos alagoanos e incentivar o gosto pela leitura e produção literária. As ações desse projeto se deram em uma escola pública numa turma do primeiro ano do ensino médio no ano de 2024 e focaram na obra poética “baroque.doc” e na obra narrativa “Contos Periféricos”. Uma sequência didática de seis horas-aula teve como culminância a visita do autor na escola e uma rodada de perguntas dos alunos. A entrevista foi precedida por análises dos textos selecionados e apresentação da biografia do autor. Espera-se como resultado uma forma de resgate da cultura alagoana e maceioense e uma maior valorização da literatura dentro das aulas de língua portuguesa.

The Afterlife of Ari Nohem
No full textThis chapter traces the circulation of Ari Nohem in manuscript, from its composition through its first appearance in print. The different stages in the reception of Ari Nohem in manuscript offer an alternative history of Kabbalah in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, one that has largely been told through the histories of Sabbatianism and Hasidism. The manuscript transmission of Ari Nohem was typical rather than aberrant for texts written by early modern Jewish intellectuals on a variety of subjects: polemical writings on Christianity, esoteric kabbalistic treatises, and epistolary campaigns against the mystical messiah Sabbatai Zevi and his followers. The evidence of these manuscripts, combined with repeated citation of and allusion to Ari Nohem in letters, diaries, treatises, responsa, and compendia composed between 1639 and 1840, indicate that Jews and Christians continued to read Modena's text in nearly every generation between the death of the author and the printing of his book.</p
Health consultation, Ari-Zonolite (aka Buster's School of Street Rods facility), Glendale, Maricopa County, Arizona
No full textabstract: This report evaluates the potential exposure pathways associated with vermiculite concentrate processing activities at the Ari-Zonolite facility. The site is located in the near downtown area of Glendale, approximately ½ mile from the city hall, downtown shops, and other buildings. The former Ari-Zonolite facility received vermiculite from the Libby, Montana, mine. From 1951 to 1964, the site was leased the site to the Ari-Zonolite Company. Following the removal of the vermiculite concentrate processing equipment in 1964, several businesses have occupied the site. None of these businesses were involved in vermiculite processing activities. The last occupant of the former vermiculite processing building was an automotive restoration business, which vacated the site in 2002.Under cooperative agreement with the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.Includes bibliographical references (p. 17-19)

Tallgrass prairie soil fungal communities are resilient to climate change
No full textClimate models for central United States predict increasing temperatures and greater variability in precipitation. Combined, these shifts in environmental conditions impact many ecosystem properties and services. Long‐term climate change experiments, such as the Rainfall Manipulation Plots (RaMPs), can be used to address soil community responses to simultaneous manipulation of temperature and temporal variability in precipitation. The RaMPs experiment is located in a native tallgrass prairie at the Konza Prairie Biological Station and has been operational since 1998 providing the potential to address responses to long‐term environmental manipulations. To test whether community composition, richness, or diversity respond to environmental change, more than 40,000 fungal amplicons were analyzed from soil samples collected in 2006. The data suggest that soil fungal communities are compositionally resilient to predicted environmental change. This is the case both for the community composition overall as inferred from ordination analyses as well as analyses of variance for each of the most common Operational Taxonomic Units (OTUs). However, while this study suggests compositional resilience, further studies are required to address functional attributes of these communities and their responses to environmental manipulations
Telework that Works: Teleradiology and the Emergence of Nighthawk Radiology Groups
No full textInformation technology enabled remote work is typically seen as an imperfect substitute for spatial proximity (Armstrong
and Cole 2002, Gaspar and Glaeser 1998, Olson et. al. 2002). For night radiology, however, the use of teleradiology
applications to create a new type of radiology group appears to have facilitated improvements in productivity, lifestyle, and
quality of interpretations.
This paper describes the diffusion of teleradiology applications in the United States and the "nighthawk" radiology groups
that have consequently emerged. The emergence of nighthawk radiology groups - a new type of radiology group which
specializes in doing night reads - has had important ramifications for the delivery of radiological services in the United
States. Based on interviews, site visits and direct observation of radiologists, the introduction of nighthawk radiology
offered a series of benefits without threatening the quality of radiology services rendered remotely.
This research found that nighthawk radiology groups emerged, not out of a deliberate program of reengineering, but out of
a reaction to a particular set of historical circumstances. The lessons that can be learned from the study of nighthawk
radiology, however, are relevant to a host of industries with work tasks that can be easily relocated, but where relocation is
seen as conflicting with quality concerns. The professional nature of radiology work, as well as the updating of quality
assurance programs, played a crucial role in assuring quality, while shaping the outcomes of the use of teleradiology to
outsource and offshore American radiology services
Transferable development rights : a policy analysis of a planning instrument and its application in Vancouver
No full textIn this thesis I examine the planning tool most commonly known as the
transfer of development rights (TDR) and discuss its application in Vancouver.
Before addressing Vancouver's use of TDR, I establish the context of TDR use in
North America, suggest appropriate policy objectives and constraints for TDR
programs, and outline a series of operational decisions made in designing any
TDR program. I proceed to evaluate Vancouver's TDR program in light of these
discussions.
I found that TDR programs can be effective tools for redistributing the
costs and benefits of certain types of land use restrictions. However, TDR
programs vary widely in their effects. Depending on the specific design of a
given program, it can have very different implications.
In Vancouver, the TDR program is a relatively minor adjunct to the
process of heritage preservation. Like any planning tool, Vancouver's TDR
program strikes a balance between various objectives. However, it can be
generally stated that fairness or distributional concerns are prevalent in
Vancouver's program. Specifically, the protection of property rights is one of the
defining elements of the program.
Vancouver's program has been marked by a strong discretionary
component, which has tended to create high transactions costs. In recent years,
though, transaction costs in Vancouver have gone down significantly. As
transaction costs have decreased and the program has grown more fluid, the
take-up rate of transferable density in Vancouver has increased. These trends are
widely expected to continue, as Vancouver's transfer of density program further
matures.Applied Science, Faculty ofCommunity and Regional Planning (SCARP), School ofGraduat
