Thinking Critically 10.3 >> UNPROFESSIONAL CONDUCT paper proposed a new syndrome with two conditions: chronic intestinal disease and the loss of behavioral skills that had already been acquired as part of normal child development. Out of 12 cases in the paper parents of eight of the children associated the behavioral problems with the administration of the MMR vaccine. While the paper clearly stated that no association between the MMR and the condition had been proved, the implication was there, and that was apparently enough to set off a media storm. Parents began to question the composition of the vaccination itself (specifically the thimerosal compound), and the jus- ulication for administration of all three vaccines in one dose at such a young age. Inevitably, many parents started to choose not to vaccinate their children. In Britain, 91 percent of age-eligible children were vaccinated in 1998. By 2004 that number had fallen to 80 percent which, doctors warned, was far below the 90 percent rate needed to keep the cepwater Horizon At the age of 14 months old, most children in North America and Europe receive a triple vaccination against three diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella (also known as German measles).

Concerned par- ents have become vocal advocates on both sides of the argu- ment. On one side, parents of autistic children believe that MMR, or specifically the preservative agent thimerosal (a mer- cury-containing chemical compound), causes significant intesti- nal problems and behavioral changes shortly after administra- tion of the vaccination. On the other side of the debate, parents are concerned that a choice not to vaccinate exposes children FatCamera/E+/Getty Images to diseases that have long been controlled in our population.

b.) A linear electron accelerator for the therapeutic use was built as a dual-mode system that could either produce X-rays or electron beams. It had been in successful use for some time, but every now and then some patients receive high overdoses, resulting in painful after-effects and several deaths. One patient on a repeat visit experienced great pain, but the remotely located operator was unaware of any problem because of lack of communication between them: The intercom was broken, and the video monitor had been unplugged. There also was no way for the patient to exit the examination camber without help from the outside, and hence the hospital was partly at fault. On cursory examination of the machine, the manufacturer insisted that the computerized and automatic control system could not possibly have malfunctioned and that no one should spread unproven and potentially libelous information about the design. It was the painstaking, day-and-night effort of the hospital’s physicist that finally traced the problem to a software error introduced by the manufacturer’s efforts to make the machine more user-friendly.

To give an exam, an instructor first notifies the students of the exam date and the material to be covered. She then prepares the exam paper (with sample solutions), gets it copied by the Staff to produce enough copies for the class. She hands it out to students on the designated time and location. The students write their answers to exam questions and hand in their papers to the instructor. The instructor then gives the exam papers to the TAs, along with sample solutions to each question, and gets them to mark it. The instructor then records all marks and informs the marks and returns the papers to the students. Draw a sequence diagram that represents this process. Make sure to show when is each actor participating in the process. Also, show the operation that is carried out during each interaction, and what its arguments are.
