    Small Episodes, Big Detectives A genealogy of Detective Fiction and its Relation to Serialization MA Thesis Written by Bernardo Palau Cabrera Student Number: 11394145 Supervised by Toni Pape Ph.D. Second reader Mark Stewart Ph.D. MA in Media Studies - Television and Cross-Media Culture Graduate School of Humanities June 29th, 2018 Acknowledgments As I have learned from writing this research, every good detective has a sidekick that helps him throughout the investigation and plays an important role in the case solving process, sometimes without even knowing how important his or her contributions are for the final result. In my case, I had two sidekicks without whom this project would have never seen the light of day. Therefore, I would like to thank my thesis supervisor Toni Pape, whose feedback and kind advice was of great help. Thank you for helping me focus on the important and being challenging and supportive at the same time. I would also like to thank my wife, Daniela Salas, who has contributed with her useful insight, continuous encouragement and infinite patience, not only in the last months but in the whole master’s program. “Small Episodes, Big Detectives” 2 Contents Introduction ...................................................................................................................... 4 1.

  • Helicopter EMS (HEMS) Programs in the United States Were Largely Not-For-Profit Hospital Or Public Safety Operations Until the Late 1990’S
    National Association of State EMS Officials – Air Medical Services Committee Brief Outline of the Federal Pre-emption Issues in Regulating Air Medical Services October, 2011 Helicopter EMS (HEMS) programs in the United States were largely not-for-profit hospital or public safety operations until the late 1990’s. These programs were generally well integrated with state and local EMS system. An increase in Medicare reimbursement for air ambulance transports in the early 2000’s appears to have contributed to a significant increase in the number of HEMS programs, medical helicopters, and for-profit operators. The number of air medical transports doubled between 2000 and 2010. The number of helicopter crashes increased as well, drawing public and National Transportation Safety Board attention to the issue. Some for-profit operators use aggressive tactics and marketing to increase flights. Unlike passengers who choose an air carrier to use on a vacation or business trip, patients typically have little or no say in what service is utilized to transport them by air ambulance. As states have attempted to regulate HEMS programs and ensure their integration with state and local EMS systems, operators have responded with lawsuits asserting the exclusive authority of the Federal Aviation Administration under the Airline Deregulation Act (PL 95-504) of 1978 (ADA). The ADA pre-empts states from regulating the rates, routes, or services of an air carrier. When Congress passed the ADA, there were very few HEMS programs in the United States, and it is doubtful that there was any consideration of the impact of the ADA on the regulation of air ambulances by states.

Hindmand and W. Ann Maggiore ABSTRACT: Effective medical control by medical directors and other medical oversight professionals is an essential element in providing appropri- ate emergency medical services (EMS). Within an EMS system, EMS medical directors have a supervisory rather than agency relationship with the emer- gency medical technicians (EMTs). Contrary to some commentary on the legal framework of this relationship, EMTs do not practice “under the license” of the medical director, but instead practice pursuant to their own state or county licenses, which generally require physician supervision.

  • Dexter – James Manos Jr
    Educación sentimental-televisiva La casualidad ha querido que encontrara el tiempo para escribir estas líneas pasando las vacaciones en una casa de campo del con- dado de Yorkshire, en el norte de Inglaterra, a escasas cinco millas del castillo de Howard. Esta mansión vecina se hizo popular en el siglo XX por alojar parte de la filmación de una película ilustre, Barry Lyndon, de Stanley Kubrick, y de una serie no menos distinguida: Retorno a Brideshead, la adaptación de Granada Television del libro homónimo de Evelyn Waugh que lanzó al estrellato a un joven Je- remy Irons. No es que hubiera escogido este destino vacacional en base a la proximidad de esta country house tricentenaria de la que guardo tan hondo recuerdo televisivo. Pero mentiría si dijera que no me alegré al conocer que la iba a tener tan a mano. De la misma manera que me complacería ir de vacaciones al estado de Washington, en Esta- dos Unidos, sabiendo que Snoqualmie y North Bend, los dos pue- blos en los que se rodaron los exteriores de Twin Peaks, están cerca, o viajaría a Gales con la ilusión de poder visitar en algún momento Portmeirion, la muy peculiar villa costera en la que se grabó El pri- sionero. Son todos ellos lugares que, gracias a las ficciones televisivas que durante un tiempo albergaron, dejaron algo dentro de mí; o quizá dejé yo algo dentro de ellos y ahora me gustaría saber de qué se trata. No sé. Tanto Twin Peaks como El prisionero aparecen seleccionadas por Quim Casas en la lista de 75 series que conforma este libro.

  • Need for Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (Hems) in Rural British Columbia
    NEED FOR HELICOPTER EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES (HEMS) IN RURAL BRITISH COLUMBIA by Roberta Squire PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA March 2014 © Roberta Squire, 2014 ABSTRACT Currently, there is no dedicated helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) in Northern British Columbia (BC). Injuries to workers in BC result in the loss of more economically productive years than heart disease and cancer combined and cost nearly $2.8 billion per year. Nearly three quarters of all people who die of trauma-related conditions in Northern BC do so before they can be brought to a hospital; 82% in Northwestern BC, compared to 12% in Metro Vancouver (Cameron 2007; McKenna 2013). Minimizing the time from injury to optimal trauma care through the utilization of HEMS has been adopted as an essential component of emergency care infrastructures Globally. The purpose of this paper is to examine the opportunities, challenges and needs of a dedicated helicopter emergency medical system to service the remote regions of Northern BC. lll TABLE OF CONTENTS Approval 11 Abstract Ill Table of contents IV List of Tables VI List of Figures Vll Abbreviations Vlll Acknowledgements X Chapter I Introduction 1 Chapter II Literature Review 7 Section 2.1 Need for HEMS Services in Northern British Columbia 7 Section 2.2 Brief History of HEMS in Canada and World-wide 8 Section 2.3 Review of Literature on Helicopter Emergency Medical Services in BC 11 Section
