Policymaking for Critical Infrastructure A Case Study on Strategic Interventions in Public Safety Telecommunications

Policymaking for Critical Infrastructure A Case Study on Strategic Interventions in Public Safety Telecommunications

Originally published in 2005. By weaving together three distinct fields - public policy technology studies and management of critical infrastructure - this volume shows how public policy can help to improve the management of large technical systems. A much-needed analytical framework based on approaches drawn from established work in science and technology studies is applied to a case study of the development of a new public safety service for mobile telephones. This example of emerging growth and change in critical infrastructure allows Gordon Gow to identify current problem areas and to refine a more general set of strategies aimed at improving public policy processes in the management of technology. The work also discusses a range of contemporary issues in telecom policy and regulation such as public consultation technical standards network unbundling and interconnection. This insightful work provides observations and recommendations for policy makers regulators industry and consumer groups alike furthering the improved coordination of efforts across these domains of interest. | Policymaking for Critical Infrastructure A Case Study on Strategic Interventions in Public Safety Telecommunications

Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music

Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music

This book provides an overview of professional musicians working within the healthcare system and explores programs that bring music into the environment of the hospital. Far from being onstage musicians in the hospital provide musical engagement for patients and healthcare providers focused on life-and-death issues. Music in healthcare offers a new and growing area for musical careers distinct from the field of music therapy in which music is engaged to advance defined clinical goals. Rather this volume considers what happens when musicians interact with the clinical environment as artists and how musical careers and artistic practices can develop through work in a hospital setting. It outlines the specialized skills and training required to navigate safely and effectively within the healthcare context. The contributors draw on their experiences with collaborations between the performing arts and medicine at Boston University/Boston Medical Center University of Florida/UF Health Shands Hospital and the Peabody Institute/Johns Hopkins Medicine. These experiences as well as the experiences of artists spotlighted throughout the volume offer stories of thriving artistic practices and collaborations that outline a new field for tomorrow's musical artists. | Music as Care: Artistry in the Hospital Environment CMS Emerging Fields in Music
