-1. Science Versus Ancient Ways of Knowing. Science is the most effective means of determining medical treatments that work and whose benefits outweigh their risks. Those who promote pseudoscientific or prescientific medicine, however, frequently appeal to other ways of knowing, often ancient ways of knowing from other cultures, and pointing out deficiencies in SBM to justify promoting their treatments.

-2. It has been some time since parademic has covered the conflict between a crime scene and disaster scene (CS/DS), especially as the two are frequently the same scene, 170903-10, 170423-2, 160911-6.1. A current example of this conflict is the problem of illegal migrant children, -180617-3.2↓. Border Patrol Official: We Created this Situation by Not Doing Anything. "¿Do you actually agree with this policy?". "I do agree that we have to do something. We created this situation by not doing anything". "So what happened with zero tolerance is, we were exempting a population from the law. And what happens when you do that, it creates a draw for a certain group of people that rises to trends that become a crisis". "¿Does it seem like a cruel and inhumane treatment to you?". "Ma'am, we do that with United States citizens. If a United States citizen violates the law and that person is accompanied by his or her children, and they're going through a judicial process, the children are separated from their parents because the kids are not going through that process. So, I think a lot of people lose sight [of that]". "¿Do you think we're all too emotional about this?". "I think that's a very good point. If you look at this situation without emotion and without politics to be honest with you … I am a father. If we look at this objectively, we have to do something, because when you have this flow of people, and these people are fleeing poverty -180617-3.2C↓ and fleeing other things, when you have this flow of people, that trek is so dangerous" Why Are Parents Bringing Their Children on Treacherous Treks to the U.S. Border, Mexico: An Unsafe Country for Thousands of Refugees Fleeing Violence in Central America. This complex situation is complicated further with framing as preventing a moral contamination and blaming others, Trump: Dems Want Illegal Immigrants to Infest Our Country. Confusion is added by over simplification, ignoring the different perspectives of the same scene, making no attempt to balance the different meanings, weight, merits, laws,ethics, personal beliefs, political consequences, funding Here Are the Facts About President Trump's Family Separation Policy, which notes the same blame game has been going on for decades. Add to this self Isolation from information and threats and one has a self inflicted crisis. This is a basic parademic principle – it does not matter if true or not, if believed then behavior is in concert with it being true, despite the consequences.

            -A. ⊓ How Asylum Officers Are Being Told to Implement Sessions’s New Rules. Again what to do with refugees, forced migration is a global issue, not just the US, Global Trends: Forced Displacement in 2017, The Refugees The World Barely Pays Attention To, EU Leaders Commit to Curb Immigration More, Limit Refugee Movement. It is both unlikely that any border agents and their leaders will refuse to obey the directive to separate children from parents or to speak out against it, Why Border Patrol Agents Obey Immoral Orders. In part this is because those who would have a problem with it have probably already self selected out, or are already out of the system Former ICE Director: Some Migrant Family Separations Are Permanent [Photo]. If there is refusal to obey then there will be quiet (for now) transfers, early retirement, and dismissal for other causes. If it becomes a big problem then there will be mass terminations. In any case historically there always develops an emergent resistance to perceived oppression of a perceived problem. This emergent behavior includes underground railroads  2 , smuggling, hidden communities, revealing information. All this exacerbates the problem and increasing costs, a cycle of more entrenched resistance and greater oppression, to solve a problem that probably was defined incorrectly. Jeff Sessions Argues Family Separations Only Happening Because Current Law Doesn’t Allow Him to Strangle Immigrants with Bare Hands.

            -B. The same was seen with Ebolaphobia in West Africa with hiding bodies and burials, riots and protests at treatment units, stigmatizing the cured, avoiding health inspections and even murder. One can only speculate about what would have happened if this administration had been in charge and able to close the US borders and stop the flights during Ebolaphobia. It is possible that some of the paranoid quarantining and abundance of caution would have been done to an even greater degree, the epidemic would have become a global pandemic, and nothing done to take actions that would have solve the actual problem .

            -2.1. Fighting Abuse, Exploitation and Harassment in Our Work Environment. For MSF this means not tolerating any behaviour from our staff that exploits the vulnerability of others, or of employees taking advantage of their position for personal gain. The reasons for underreporting of incidents are probably similar to those found in society at large, including the fear of not being believed, prevailing stigma, and possible reprisals. This is all the more acute in many crisis settings where MSF operates, such as conflict areas, where there is often a general lack of protection mechanisms for victims, a high level of generalised violence and impunity, and where populations may be highly dependent on external assistance. The size, turn over and diversity of our staff require a continued effort to inform and create awareness about MSF’s policies on harassment and abuse, as well as all mechanisms available for reporting any abuse or harassment. Achieving and maintaining a work environment free from abuse and harassment is an on going endeavour, for which we are all responsible. We also commit ourselves to do no harm to vulnerable people we are striving to help. Medecins sans Frontieres Staff Used Local Prostitutes.

-3. Better Be Safe than Sorry: Economic Optimization Risks Tipping of Earth System Elements. Optimizing economic welfare without constraints might put human well being at risk, a new climate study argues. While being successful in bringing down costs of greenhouse gas reductions for instance, the concept of profit maximization alone does not suffice to avoid the tipping of critical elements in the Earth system which could lead to dramatic changes of our lifelihood. The scientists use mathematical experiments to compare economic optimization to the governance concepts of sustainability and the more recent approach of a safe operating space for humanity. All of these turn out to have their benefits and deficits, yet the profit maximizing approach shows the greatest likelihood of producing outcomes that harm people or the environment. This usually appears in parademic as competition that benefits a subgroup decreases survival of the whole, as opposed to cooperation benefits all, but maybe not as much for the small portion that feels it deserves more than others, or believe that not all can survive so resources should be limited to the deserving -3.1↓. Primates in Peril. Lemurs, lorises, galagos, tarsiers, monkeys and apes are our closest biological relatives and just like them, humans are also primates. However, while the human population spread to all corners of the earth, many of our closest relatives are under serious threat due to human activities.

-4. Four Principles to Make Evidence Synthesis More Useful for Policy. Several organizations are already producing powerful examples of synthesized evidence. However, too few researchers and policymakers know about them; too few understand how to produce or commission good syntheses; and too many are reaching for information that is out of date, incomplete or biased, sometimes from just one study or researcher. Even where good syntheses exist, they are often not available quickly enough: in the realm of public policy, it may be that a good enough version available before a decision is made is much more valuable than a perfect version that arrives a day too late, provided the limitations imposed by doing it at speed are made clear. 1) Inclusive, of the policymakers who are the target audience, they should be involved throughout – from designing the question to governing the process and interpreting the findings, although they should not mould that interpretation to support a particular policy. 2) Rigorous synthesis always aims to minimize any bias that might distort the evidence or analysis. And personal prejudice has no place in evidence synthesis. Potential biases that cannot be avoided – for example, the fact that the literature on global agriculture comes predominantly from a small number of countries – must be disclosed and explained. 3) Transparent evidence synthesis that is frank about its methods and limitations is likely to be more credible, replicable and useful, and can be better kept up to date. The account of the study’s methodology should include the search terms used, the databases and other evidence sources that were considered, when they were accessed, and the criteria that were used to determine which studies were included and why. Studies should explicitly acknowledge complexities and areas of consensus and contention, particularly where there are fundamental disagreements in the project team. This is important for evidence based public debate, too. Outlining what is not known provides pointers to scientists, policymakers and funders on potential lines of enquiry to fill knowledge gaps. 4) Unless it is Accessible synthesized evidence will be quickly discarded by policymakers if they struggle to access it online or if the language is impenetrable. The full text and search terms should be published in an open access repository to allow the synthesis to be extended, reproduced or updated in light of new evidence. In addition, reports should have a short summary in plain language. In principle I agree with these principles for science, but in practice the collection, analysis, synthesis and reporting of parademic cannot be done if these principles were followed rigidly. There is also the consideration that some policymaking by its nature needs to be close to the vest, The Horrific Details of Syrian Chemicals Attacks the UN Took Out of Its Report. An example of evidence synthesis for policy makers and practical application is Engaging Faith Based and Community Organizations Planning Considerations for Emergency Managers. What is not clearly addressed in the article is that synthesis is part of a large process of problem identification, information collection, analysis, the synthesis, followed by application with continual refinement and testing. It also does not specifically address what is now becoming a political issue, the line between appropriate informing of policy and decisions by science, and inappropriate activism by science GOP Senators Call for Probe of Federal Grants on Climate Change -180617-3.2‡*A↓.

            -4.1. The difficulty of applying the ideal of the four principles to the real world segues into the concept of planning for plans. Unfortunately that is a synthesis that at the moment I am unable to complete. Hopefully next week, 180701, I can come back to this and write something that will make at least a little sense. -180617-3.2↓.

-5. Has taken me a long time to identify from where the parademic concept of “if it is believed to be true, then people will behave as if it is true”. It’s the Thomas Theorem If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences, and related concepts. The Thomas Theorem of Sociology Explained with Examples. The Thomas Theorem and The Matthew Effect. I probably originally came across the concept in educational theory in the 1980's and began to apply it to the social and medical situations encountered around the turn of the century and on. Though I hesitate to call the parademic version a theorem it is an observed principle that can be shaped into a hypothesis to test and compare the result of a naturally occurring social situation -180311-6↓. or experimental test. Encountered the term as a serendipity in Prevention and Control of HPV and HPV Related Cancers: The Danish Experience, while researching the longue durée for -VCP•Denmark↓. Other ways of expressing this used in parademic are: Perception trumps reality and language influences perception while perception influences language.

            -Quote1: There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true. – Søren Kierkegaard.

The man who lies to himself and listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, and so loses all respect for himself and for others.

She was not wearing it when departing Air Force One or at the detention center.
