A rather simplistic view, which defines vulnerability as the probability that a social, ecological, or physical reference unit will suffer harm in the case of a certain event, is confronted with numerous other conceptions, including further interdependent influencing factors, and means of protection referring to different time scales, spatial references, and so forth (Voss 2008).
This alleviates the need to compare all programs and services from the bottom up (i.e., with a zero-based budgeting approach); instead, managers and clinical leaders can propose changes at the margin that will incur the least harm (in the case of decreased funding) or achieve the most benefit (in the case of increased funding) when measured against a given set of objectives.
"Those who will be most harmed in the case of a coup are the country's workers, and the second most impacted will be Brazil's youth," said Antonio Lisboa, the secretary of international relations for the Union Workers Central, one of the groups that organized the protests in the capital.
We suggest that a similar mechanism operates for imagined harms in the case of moral judgment, which could account for serotonin's parallel effects in inhibiting actual harms (in the case of aggression) and imagined harms (in the case of moral judgment).
There remains insufficient evidence in the literature to determine how best to conduct individualised feedback as part of non-RCT research to enhance benefits and reduce harms; in the case of longitudinal studies, it remains unclear how to reduce potential bias, unintended interventionist effects or impact on subsequent wave participation.
Governments did not like to reorganize taxation, and then there was the question of harm, which, in the case of smoking, was fluid and vague.
Autonomy can also be at odds with the physicians' mandate to do no harm, as in the case of requests for assisted suicide.
It is inevitable that some practices also become noticeable as sources of harm (as in the case of the deliberate delay to seek healthcare until in extremis) and, increasingly, individuals learn about or contemplate alternative and less harmful ways to be masculine.
How are we going to live in the Anthropocene?" Unlike other paradigmatic moral problems, there is no single individual intentionally harming another in the case of climate change.
As such, these examples are not directly relevant to a meta-analysis primarily done to assess harms, as in the case of the CNT meta-analysis.
And so, although, unlike the case of John where you've harmed him and benefited others — so you have harmed him overall — in the case of suicide, when I harm myself to avoid the suffering I would otherwise go through, I'm not really, as we might say, harming myself overall.
