Goal orientations

Webster defines "harmony" to mean "correspondence, accord. . . [as in] lives in harmony with her neighbors. " Thus, to "harmonize is "to bring into consonance or accord. The term "accord" is defined as "balanced interrelationship harmony."(37) None of those persons active in international discussions concerning the regulation of new chemicals has argued that "harmonization" will result in the development of any standardized, world-wide scheme for the submission and review of PMN s. Rather, most have viewed harmonization as being goal-oriented — in the words of one OECD official,... 

LNAPL product was found to be distributed over the central portion of the site with measured apparent thicknesses of approximately 0.2 to 0.5 ft. Concluding that additional work was warranted at the site, two goal-oriented objectives were developed (1) consideration of on-site remedial alternatives to prepare the site for other industrial uses and (2) determination of the extent of off-site groundwater contamination. 

The attempt to carry out risk assessment on a scientific basis has resulted in the systematic separation of risk assessment and practical risk management. An undesirable effect of this strict separation is the fact that the present practice of risk assessment does not produce the information that is required for formulation of risk management measures in a goal-oriented way.

In principle it might be a Pavlovian habit related to the establishement of a direct association between a Pavlovian CS and an UR (see Cardinal et ah, 2004). Another possibility is that automatic responding is an instrumental habit related to learning of an instrumental stimulus-response (S-R) association. An instrumental habit is more likely to account for the relative flexibility of the behavior as indicated by the ability to rapidly switch to an explicit goal-oriented mode when the automatic responding is impaired. 

In Freimark s various accounts, there are many other examples of persons, places and incidents being mixed up. These have been discussed in greater detail in a separate analysis of claims and data by and about Freimark.68 On the basis of the statements he made in the course of the Freimark Case - statements which, due to the talkativeness of the witness, are amply available - the goal-oriented nature of his testimony can be well analyzed. The overriding goals which become apparent time and again are ...

The planning process as outlined below and in the example in Figures 1 and 2 represents a more strategic and goal oriented approach than the "experiment-after-experiment planning" method. It initially concentrates on the "what" (what is intended, what must be achieved) before the questions "how", "when" and "who" are addressed. As a consequence, the project is planned with a much wider perspective and tends to be less compromised by the many limitations that every researcher experiences during the daily work. The aim of one s research may be set wider or more ambitiously. Ambitious does not necessarily mean more risky, if potential collaborators are included in the considerations. 

This intense and multifaceted goal-orientated search for the solution of a synthetic problem may have as an additional fringe benefit , an explosion-like accumulation of new information related to various areas of chemistry. In fact, the origin of many outstanding discoveries in organic chemistry can be traced to the initial failures of synthetic plans, to those misfires that prompted chemists to revise their current views. 

This route of self-development was a natural and unavoidable occupation for the immature science of organic chemistry. Now, when millions of organic compounds have already been described and their basic classes studied rather thoroughly, such a synthesis for the sake of synthesis may seem extravagant. It is a most difficult dilemma to ascertain whether it is actually worthwhile to appropriate resources from a goal-orientated investigation to the synthesis of...
