Resolving conflict

A multiple chent study may serve many useful purposes to company management. It may act as a primer for intensive study of a narrower part of the market, a guide to deciding whether to expend R D effort in the field, or a guide to deciding whether to acquire a company already in the field. The independent study can also resolve conflicting opinions within different departments of the chent company. Finally, the cost of a multiple chent study is usually lower than the cost of a comparable study by a chents in-house personnel.

Litigation is not always the only or best way to resolve conflicts. Mediation offers an alternative approach and it is one that can be quite efficient and successful. Mediation can be faster, less expensive, and can lead to creative solutions not always possible in a court of law. Additionally, mediation focuses on mutually acceptable solutions, rather than on winning or losing. 

The presence of effective and legitimate legal, political and social mechanisms of conflict resolutions enhances the possibility of resolving conflict.

The RIPA is especially sensitive for antibodies to the higher-molecular-weight major env glycoproteins gp 160 and gp 120, which are missed by some WB techniques. Sera from blood donors with probable false-positive WB patterns are often negative by RIPA. Thus, the technique may be useful in resolving conflicting results from other HIV antibody assays. 

Behaviours used in aggressive interactions between children have previously been described in great detail. However, much less is known about how children resolve conflicts and post-conflict behaviours.We have videotaped preschool children (3-5 years of age) at three different daycare centers in Stockholm by means of hidden videocameras during free play. More than 400 conflicts have been analysed in over 50 hours of observa-... 

Two additional concepts of harmonization include prospective—to avoid conflicts among pharmacopeial standards before they occur, and retrospective—to resolve conflicts among existing pharmacopeial standards,... 

Do the chemical shifts fit The reliability of these judgements should be no better than within an automated approach (since they both operate by precedent) although in practice the spectroscopist may be better at resolving conflicting precedents. 

Interpersonal effectiveness Project management, interacts well cross-functionally, team player, creates strong partnerships and can resolve conflicts. 

If necessary to assist in determining the actual incident scenario from two or more possible scenarios, a fact/hypothesis matrix may be employed to help resolve conflicting facts. This is most efficiently performed prior to identifying the causal factors. 

The important feature in the SL method is that there is always a buffer of dormant SL region separating any two dynamically active regions, which eliminates the difficulty associated with synchronizing events and resolving conflicts at the boundaries between processors. For a finite cycle time, the SL method is not exact, but if the cycle time is comparable to or shorter than a typical reaction time, it is extremely accurate. A detailed discussion and demonstration of the requirements for accuracy in the case of KMC can be found in ref. 35. 

Another perspective comes from famiiy systems theory, which characterizes the schizophrenic patient s family as having disordered communication, with various members playing unusual or aberrant roles. According to this theory, patients experience double binds when faced with contradictory expectations ( 7). Related controversial hypotheses held that the schizophrenogenic mother was the critical factor and then later that the schizophrenic s father also played a significant role (8, 9 and 10). Intensive therapy, in the context of in-hospital separation from the family, was considered the treatment of choice. In contrast to classic psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on the individual patient, this approach attempts to resolve conflicts in the family system, as well as in the patient s psyche. Typically, this involves sessions that include all or as many members as possible. Thus, even though one member is identified as the patient, it is the disturbed communication and interactions among all members that is the focus of therapy. This and subsequent therapeutic approaches may be most effective when medication is used concurrently. 

The need to resolve conflicts of Interest is the prime source of all political behaviour. The issue for a manager is to assess whether his or her purposes and those of others are legitimate. Are they narrowly self-seeking or do they serve wider corporate go s ... 

Many clients—including those who are not deeply disturbed—can benefit from guidance in how to go about making decisions and resolving conflicts with loved ones. In couples therapy, for example, I observe how my clients interact with each other and give them direct advice on how to communicate in a more respectful and loving manner. In the process, I emphasize the centrality of love to all personal relationships. 

Table 8.1 shows three typical scenarios in which pharmacists encounter conflict. Keep these scenarios in mind while reading through the chapter. They will be reviewed at the end to see how to help resolve conflict.

With increasing concern for conflicts of interest, such issues must be identified by the researcher, institution, and REB for professionalism, to maintain public trust, and for accountability. All conflicts, whether actual, perceived, or potential, must be disclosed to the REB and addressed. They must also be disclosed to the subject during consent. For the REB to identify and best address conflicts, it should be provided with details of the research project, budgets, commercial interests, consultative relationships, and other information as relevant. REB members must withdraw from the discussion and decision-making when their own research is under review. Methods to address and resolve conflicts must be developed. REBs must be given the authority and financial and administrative independence from the institution to fulfill their duties. 

Our work on rule execution differs from systems such as REFORDI (or, e.g., VARLET [766] from another department) inasmuch as a single triple rule is executed in multiple steps to detect and resolve conflicts, as originally introduced by Lefering.
