چکیده
In his admirably clear, beautifully argued study, Claude Panaccio has provided an able defense of Ockham’s position in response to an argument I presented against Ockham in a discussion with Peter King eight years ago at a meeting in Pittsburgh. But after eight years, and even after Claude’s book, I still stand by that argument. So, in these comments I will attempt to explain why I think Ockham may still not be off the hook.

Mannion and Braithwaite outline a new paradigm for studying and improving patient safety – Safety II. In this response, I argue that Safety I should not be dismissed simply because the safety management strategies that are developed and enacted in the name of Safety I are not always true to the original philosophy of ‘systems thinking.’
متن کاملThe Relation between Perceptual and Clinical Parameters of Voice Quality of Patients with Early Glottic Cancer before and after Radiotherapy and of Normal Speakers
From a theoretical point of view it seems trivial to state that there exists a relation between perception of voice aspects and physically measurable parameters: what you can hear, you should be able to measure and vice versa: what you do measure, you should be able to hear. In practice this assumption is not supported by research: judgements based on auditory perception can be related to acous...
