Abstract:
This thesis explores the role of technology as a resource in the structure of medical domination of birth and death, stressing technology's pivotal position at the intersection of control and uncertainty. Based in Intensive Care and Obstetrics (between which the health status of patients diverges sharply), it notes the convergence of technology used and examines the contest for control within the labour process. This includes using technology to facilitate a 'standardized' birth or death; a more retrospectively defensible event. In general, the 'burden of proof' is concluded to lie with those

Abstract:
In seeking to answer the research question, “What are the Decision Factors that Determine Choice of Medical Specialty Amongst Medical Students, Prevocational Doctors, General Practice Registrars and General Practitioners?”, this qualitative research utilised in-depth interviews to provide a unique perspective in an intergenerational study that explored key factors impacting on choice of medical specialty. Findings confirm that money and prestige are not important and that work-life balance and professional satisfaction are key to influence decisions.

Abstract:
General medical wards deliver the majority of inpatient care. Despite technological and therapeutic advances, these wards expose 10% of patients to preventable adverse events, and disproportionately contribute to preventable hospital deaths. Improving ward team performance is often proposed as a mechanism to improve patient outcomes. The overarching goal of this thesis is to identify effective strategies to improve interdisciplinary team care on the medical ward.

Abstract:
This thesis begins by considering that modern medicine as a profession has tremendous scope for both good and ill, and as an enterprise consumes a vast amount of the national wealth. Against this background, the thesis considers how and why medicine is regulated, and what the effects of this regulation are. The study aims to assess the regulation of the medical profession against the interests of the state, the profession, and the consumers of health care, to see whether the regulatory mechanisms adopted adequately safeguard the interests of all parties concerned with the practice of medicine.

The social construction of the discourse of medical institutions is analysed, drawing on both speech act and structural theories. Discourse is defined as a symbol system which has an ideological effect. This effect is linked to the maintenance of the interests of hegemonic social groups.

Abstract:
Australia is in the process of adopting a national approach towards the secure electronic exchange of health information. The health information contributions of general practices as the primary point of patient medical care, will be critical to the success of an interoperable national healthcare system. Sharing information creates vulnerabilities by increasing exposure to information security threats. Consequently, improvement in information security practice within general practice may positively contribute towards improved patient care by providing access to timely and accurate information.

Lastly, I consider the argument that providing qualitative futility violates professional integrity. Next I consider the claim that futility judgments are a

Abstract:
This Thesis is based on several research and development programs to implement the use of fibre lasers in the manufacturing of medical devices like stents and pacemakers. In general, the medical device manufacturing industry has a high demand for laser micromachining applications. The content of the thesis describes laser micromachining of metallic components with single mode fibre lasers. At the started of the research work for this thesis, most laser machining processes used flash-lamp pumped solid-state lasers for those applications. Reliable laser operation and low maintenance are required

Abstract:
Diagrams and schemas included in medieval medical manuscripts are understudied within art historical scholarship. This thesis discusses the multivalence of meanings — medical, social and theological — generated within schemas included in sixteen different medical codices, produced in England in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Through text-image analysis, by considering the diagrams in relationship to the texts that immediately surround them and the other texts included within the same codex, the following chapters show that diagrams, through different means, emphasised or legitimized t
