System architecture involves describing a system's components, their functions, and how information flows between them. Components are the parts that make up a system. Relevant functions are the key activities of each component. Communication flows show how data moves between different components.

System architecture is the descriptive representation of the
system’s component functions and the communication flows
between those components.
My definition immediately raises some important questions.
• What are “components”?
• Which functions are relevant?
• What is a communication flow?

It’s the basic sutra for the practice of meditation. Late at night, it’s a pleasure to recite the Diamond Sutra alone, in complete silence. The sutra is so deep and wonderful. It has its own language. The first Western scholars who obtained the text thought it was talking nonsense. Its language seems mysterious, but when you look deeply, you can understand. Don’t rush into the commentaries or you may be unduly influenced by them. Please read the sutra first. You may see things that no commentator has seen. You can read as if you were chanting, using your clear body and mind to be in touch with the words. Try to understand the sutra from your own experiences and your own suffering. It is helpful to ask, “Do these teachings of the Buddha have anything to do with my daily life?” Abstract ideas can be beautiful, but if they have nothing to do with our life, of what use are they? So please ask, “Do the words have anything to do with eating a meal, drinking tea, cutting wood, or carrying water?” The sutra’s full name is The Diamond That Cuts through Illusion, Vajracchedika Prajñaparamita in Sanskrit. Vajracchedika means “the diamond that cuts through afflictions, ignorance, delusion, or illusion.” In China and Vietnam, people generally call it the Diamond Sutra, emphasizing the word “diamond,” but, in fact, the phrase “cutting through” is the most important. Prajñaparamita means “per.

China’s increasing military power, however, may suggest a Chinese intention to change the status quo. • Shared democratic values and the fact that the “democracy issue” has greatly prolonged the timetable for reunification give Taipei political influence in both Washington and Tokyo. • China’s constant threats of force actually empower Taipei in its relationship with Washington, and cause the United States to plan for the worst. • Taiwan is a litmus test of U.S. credibility as an ally, a condition that in turn creates a perception on the island that U.S. military backing is uncondi- tional. policy implications • Taipei’s high-risk diplomatic approach carries with it the very real possibil- ity of miscalculation, which could easily lead to great power conflict. • The United States would benefit from exploring with Beijing ways in which to demilitarize the issue of Taiwan independence so that the threat of great power conflict over Taiwan is greatly moderated. • Tensions may eventually lessen substantially if Beijing can be encouraged to substitute political deterrence for military deterrence. • In order to ensure that the U.S. position in the region would survive a Taipei-provoked conflict should the United States choose not to become directly involved, Washington can undertake extensive talks with Japan de- signed to ensure that Japan does not lose confidence in Washington. organization of the essay The first four sections of the essay respectively explore the four factors of the complex U.S.-Taiwan-Japan-China relationship outlined above: Geostrategic Issues and Considerations . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..

TABLE 1-1 Milestones of Medicine and Medical Education 1700–2015 ■ 1700s: Training and apprenticeship under one physician was common until hospitals were founded in the mid-1700s. In 1765, the first medical school was established at the University of Pennsylvania. ■ 1800s: Medical training was provided through internships with existing physicians who often were poorly trained themselves. In the United States, there were only four medical schools, which graduated only a handful of students. There was no formal tuition with no mandatory testing. ■ 1847: The AMA was established as a membership organization for physicians to protect the interests of its members. It did not become powerful until the 1900s when it organized its physician members by county and state medical societies. The AMA wanted to ensure these local societies were protecting physicians’ financial well-being. It also began to focus on standardizing medical education. ■ 1900s–1930s: The medical profession was represented by general or family practitioners who operated in solo practices. A small percentage of physicians were women. Total expenditures for medical care were less than 4% of the gross domestic product. ■ 1904: The AMA created the Council on Medical Education to establish standards for medical education. ■ 1910: Formal medical education was attributed to Abraham Flexner, who wrote an evaluation of medical schools in the United States and Canada indicating many schools were substandard. The Flexner Report led to standardized admissions testing for students called the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT), which is still used as part of the admissions process today. ■ 1930s: The healthcare industry was dominated by male physicians and hospitals. Relationships between patients and physicians were sacred. Payments for physician care were personal. ■ 1940s–1960s: When group health insurance was offered, the relationship between patient and physician changed because of third-party payers (insurance). In the 1950s, federal grants supported medical school operations and teaching hospitals. In the 1960s, the Regional Medical Programs provided research grants and emphasized service innovation and provider networking. As a result of the Medicare and Medicaid enactment in 1965, the responsibilities of teaching faculty also included clinical responsibilities. ■ 1970s–1990s: Patient care dollars surpassed research dollars as the largest source of medical school funding. During the 1980s, third-party payers reimbursed academic medical centers with no restrictions. In the 1990s with the advent of managed care, reimbursement was restricted. ■ 2014: According to the 2014 Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMAC) annual survey, over 70% of medical schools have or will be implementing policies and programs to encourage primary care specialties for medical school students.

Tackling wicked problems : A public policy perspective Please note - this is an archived publication. Commissioner’s foreword The Australian Public Service (APS) is increasingly being tasked with solving very complex policy problems. Some of these policy issues are so complex they have been called ‘wicked’ problems. The term ‘wicked’ in this context is used, not in the sense of evil, but rather as an issue highly resistant to resolution. Successfully solving or at least managing these wicked policy problems requires a reassessment of some of the traditional ways of working and solving problems in the APS. They challenge our governance structures, our skills base and our organisational capacity. It is important, as a first step, that wicked problems be recognised as such. Successfully tackling wicked problems requires a broad recognition and understanding, including from governments and Ministers, that there are no quick fixes and simple solutions. Tackling wicked problems is an evolving art. They require thinking that is capable of grasping the big picture, including the interrelationships among the full range of causal factors underlying them. They often require broader, more collaborative and innovative approaches. This may result in the occasional failure or need for policy change or adjustment. Wicked problems highlight the fundamental importance of the APS building on the progress that has been made with working across organisational boundaries both within and outside the APS. The APS needs to continue to focus on effectively engaging stakeholders and citizens in understanding the relevant issues and in involving them in identifying possible solutions. The purpose of this publication is more to stimulate debate around what is needed for the successful tackling of wicked problems than to provide all the answers. Such a debate is a necessary precursor to reassessing our current systems, frameworks and ways of working to ensure they are capable of responding to the complex issues facing the APS. I hope that this publication will encourage public service managers to reflect on these issues, and to look for ways to improve the capacity of the APS to deal effectively with the complex policy problems confronting us. Lynelle Briggs Australian Public Service Commissioner 1. Introduction Many of the most pressing policy challenges for the APS involve dealing with very complex problems. These problems share a range of characteristics—they go beyond the capacity of any one organisation to understand and respond to, and there is often disagreement about the causes of the problems and the best way to tackle them. These complex policy problems are sometimes called ‘wicked’ problems. Usually, part of the solution to wicked problems involves changing the behaviour of groups of citizens or all citizens. Other key ingredients in solving or at least managing complex policy problems include successfu.

Tajfel and Turner (in chapter two of our reader) give us the following definition of Social Identity Theory: "SIT proposes that individuals make sense of their social environment by categorizing themselves and others into groups that can be contrasted with others" (Oksanen et al., 2014). SIT brings order to chaos, you might say, in that individuals define themselves as being different from everyone else. Considering what we have read about the perpetrators of group violence, how do you suppose that it is that people make the leap from their own social identity to group violence? What social and psychological mechanisms are at work that would go from simple categorization to overt violence? .

Tableau Homework 3 – Exploring Chart Types with QVC Data Getting familiar with the data You will focus on five dimensions as you start to explore the QVC data: • order date (Order Dt) • merchandise department (Merchandise Dept) • region of the country (Region) • customer state (Ship To State) • location of the originating warehouse (Warehouse Zip). You will use five measures: • price (Total Line Amt) • number of orders (Number of Records) • average order value (AOV to be calculated) • delivery time ([Days Shipped] to be calculated) Create two calculated fields: AOV = SUM([Total Line Amt])/SUM([Number of Records]). On the Data Pane, change the number format to Currency with 2 decimal places. Days Shipped = CEILING( [Delivery Confirmation Dt]-[Shipped Dt]) In the next homework, we will explore additional measures to address the QVC analytics challenge more explicitly. In this homework, the primary goal is to continue to build basic Tableau skills for creating tables, maps, and charts. Change the label in the Region dimension for Alaska and Hawaii: Alaska and Hawaii were not assigned a region in the input data, but we are going to change the Null label to AK/HI. Depending on the context, we may filter out these states. To change the label, go to the blue pill for Region and right-click (or click on the down arrow) to get the menu of actions. Select Aliases…. In the pop-up box, change the alias for Null to AK/HI. For the rest of the course, you are expected to have complete titles on every worksheet you complete. I will guide you through this process for the first few worksheets. Chapter 19 – Highlight Tables 1. Create a text table with merchandise departments for rows and the sum of sales (Total Line Amt) in the table. Sort in descending order by sales. Add Region to the Columns Shelf. You should have a crosstab table with 5 columns and 11 rows of data. Drag the Total Line Amt to the Color marks card. Change the mark type to Square. Note that the East region has highest sales overall and the ordering within region is similar. Name the sheet Highlight Table. Edit the title (double-click on the Highlight Table text and type over <Sheet Name>) to be something like ‘Total sales by region and merchandise department’. Chapter 22 – Scatter Plot 2. Open a new worksheet. Create a scatter plot of average Days Shipped (Columns Shelf) and average order value AOV (Row Shelf). Make sure you change the default SUM aggregate function to AVG for Days Shipped. Drag Merchandise Dept to the Detail marks card. Drag Total Line Amt to the Size marks card. At this point, you will want to change the axis settings so they do not include 0. Right-click on each axis, select Edit Axis, and uncheck the Include zero box. Add an average line for each measure. This plot highlights that the jewelry department has high average ship times, though is a small revenue department. .

Facilitating Group Processes Table 4.1 lists several different skills in the category of facilitating group processes. All of these skills can be used by workers differentially, depending on their intentions when attempting to influence various group processes. In general, however, skills in facilitating group processes contribute to positive group outcomes when they improve understanding among group members, build open communication channels, and encourage the development of trust so that all members are willing to contribute as much as they can to the problem on which the group is working. https://jigsaw.chegg.com/books/9780134059006/epub/OPS/xhtml/fileP7000499464000000000000000000BE2.xhtml#P7000499464000000000000000000BE8 Involving Group Members Ideally, all members should be involved and interested in what is being discussed in the group. Yalom (2005) has called this universalizing a group member’s experience. Involving members who have been silent helps identify commonalities and differences in their life experiences. As members become involved, they realize how particular problems affect them and how a solution to one member’s problem can directly or indirectly help them. Involving others is also essential for building group cohesiveness, developing a sense of mutual aid, and encouraging shared decision-making. Involving group members also means helping them take on leadership roles within the group. The worker should be cautious about doing too much for members and thereby stifling individual initiative. Instead of jealously guarding the leadership role, workers should encourage members to contribute to the content of group meetings and help shape group dynamic processes. This can be done by providing members with opportunities for leadership roles during program activities, by praising members.
