On Kue Business Architecture101Carolyn N. Evans

��

Business architecture is a disciplined approach to creating and maintaining a set of business-owned information assets that serve as a blueprint for planning and executing strategy. Organizations can take a top-down or bottom-up approach to business architecture. A bottom-up approach focuses on techniques and best practices among operational teams but may lack strategic alignment. A top-down approach ties documentation to strategic goals but can lack tactical execution. Most organizations get stuck taking both approaches without integrating them, failing to connect strategic goals to operations. To be successful, an organization needs both senior leadership buy-in and skills in business architecture modeling, bringing together strategy and analysis.

Medical Malpractice And Contract Disclosure A Study Of Thelegal5

��

This thesis examines how legal rules affect behavior in healthcare markets through the development of an economic model. The model predicts that mandatory disclosure of managed care organization (MCO) contracts to patients will result in higher rates of compliant treatment by physicians and lower rates of medical malpractice claims compared to when contracts are not disclosed. The model also analyzes how different medical malpractice damage rules impact treatment and litigation incentives. An empirical study uses medical malpractice insurance premium data from 1991-2001 to test several predictions of the model regarding the effects of disclosure laws and damage caps.

��

This document analyzes access patterns for robots and humans on web archives. It finds that English pages are the most requested, followed by European languages. Most human sessions come to the Wayback Machine via referrals, led by Wikipedia, the Internet Archive homepage, Reddit, and Google. The analysis also shows that most links from outside archives go to past versions ("mementos") of pages, and 83% of linked mementos no longer exist on the live web. The study provides insights into what content languages users look for and how people discover and link to archived web pages.

Martin Parker Benefits Of Ha 1.0martbert

��

The document discusses the benefits of high availability systems which provide near 100% uptime through redundancy. High availability is achieved by running duplicate servers and storage area networks with the same operating systems and applications configured for failover. This doubles hardware costs but delivers 99.99% uptime and happy users. It can also provide disaster recovery capabilities across locations and make operating system upgrades and load balancing easier. However, some outages are still possible and maintaining two servers requires additional effort and testing. Organizations must weigh the cost of outages against the cost of implementing high availability.

Using Web Archives to Enrich the Live Web Experience Through StorytellingYasmin AlNoamany, PhD

��

The document discusses using web archives to automatically construct stories about past events by identifying relevant web pages from the event timeframe. It proposes a 6-step process: 1) Calculate the datetime range of the story, 2) Get seed URIs related to the story, 3) Determine datetimes of web pages, 4) Choose high-quality candidate pages for each event, 5) Visualize the story using interactive timelines or slideshows, and 6) Collect feedback on the automatically constructed stories. The goal is to use web archives to automatically "replay" the story of past events through curated web pages from that period.

The Ming Dynasty fell in 1644 after invasions by the Manchu people. The Manchus then established the Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of China. Over time, the Qing Empire grew powerful under emperors like Kangxi and Qianlong, but conflicts with European powers like Britain over trade led to problems. The Qing banned the opium trade, but the British went to war over it, leading China to cede Hong Kong and agree to unequal treaties, humiliating the Qing Empire.
