Short-term thinking

This trap of short-term thinking has to be avoided. In order to achieve self control, we need to learn about those traits which in certain situations of modern life prove maladaptive, and others which we can tap in order to adapt anew. 

Many believe that it fosters short-term thinking and might be even detrimental to a company s long-term health, because capital markets are inherently myopic.

Short-term thinking encourages just-in-time management and the minimization of redundancy. Just as a bank needs a certain percentage of its money to be held in reserve, so the offshore industry needs to have reserves of skilled personnel and redundant equipment to protect against the unknown unknown. (The development of the spill recovery systems discussed in the previous section is an example of this insurance mentality.)... 

Much of the short-term thinking approach can be attributed to cost pressures, and the need to do more with less. In his book Lessons from Longford (Hopkins, 2000) the author states, when we extend the causal network [for an accident] far enough, market forces and cost cutting pressures are almost invariably implicated. ... 

Time Reduction and Increased Efficiencies. Time reduction and the corollary of increased efficiencies appear to be the main factors driving the short-term benefits deriving from implementation of an electronic notebook system. The argument is fairly simple, and there are good data [1] to show that the benefits are real and realistic. Most studies and projects associated with implementation of ELN within a research discipline focus on the reduction in time taken to set up a typical experiment and to document the experiment once completed. Further time savings are evident when examining workflows such as report or patent preparation, or when thinking about time taken to needlessly repeat previously executed experiments. 

There are few short term solutions that we can think of. The technology for accessing publications underwent a dramatic makeover in the last decade, moving from predominantly paper to predominantly electronic through a coordinated set of efforts from publishers and consumers (in this case scientific research users) alike. A study of how such a transition was successfully handled could provide clues on how to make it happen.

Suicidality in children and adolescents Antidepressants increased the risk of suicidal thinking and behavior (suicidality) in short-term studies in children and adolescents with major depressive disorder (MDD) and other psychiatric disorders. Anyone considering the use of trazodone or any other antidepressant in a child or adolescent must balance this risk with the clinical need. Patients who are started on therapy should be observed closely for clinical worsening, suicidality, or unusual changes in behavior. Families and caregivers should be advised of the need for close observation and communication with the prescriber. Trazodone not approved for use in pediatric patients (see Clinical worsening and suicide risk and Children sections in Warnings). 

Level - 2 A stands for ALTERED perception. Colors and textures are paid attention to. Appreciation of music may be enhanced. Space may appear of greater or lesser depth than is usual. But visions do not occur at this level. Thinking becomes less logical, and more playful short term memory difficulties are may be noted. 

BULL I would subscribe to that to some extent, but you are not going to be able to conduct a 2-year bioassay at each plant and each and every treatment process at every water treatment location in the country. So I think that this is where the problem arises, and you require a reasonable time resolution in your analysis. To deal with a day-to-day problem, the short-term tests are appropriate.
