Topic: Institutional Damage


In the News (Sat 28 Nov 09)

  
  Institutional damage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Institutional damage is broadly defined as unintended consequences to an individual resulting from interaction with an institution which has responsibility for his or her care.
Some forms of institutional damage, such as medical errors and hospital-acquired infection are relatively easily measured; others, such as long-term damage to development and mental health are significantly harder to measure.
The two concepts, damage caused by institutions and damage caused to institutions, are related in many situations.

 Corruption (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Nevertheless, it is plausible that corruption in general, including institutional corruption, typically involves the despoiling of the moral character of persons and in particular, in the case of institutional corruption, the despoiling of the moral character of institutional role occupants qua institutional role occupants.
It might be argued that while she did not corrupt any institutional process or purpose, she nevertheless corrupted him qua role occupant, e.g., by undermining his disposition to act honestly.
Moreover, the apartheid government's undermining of the institutional processes of the church did not in itself constitute corruption, since the government and its leaders are not per se — at least in a secular state — role occupants of the institution of the church.

Institutions of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further the interest of either the individual faculty member or the institution as a whole.
The expression of dissent and the attempt to produce change, therefore, may not be carried out in ways which injure individuals or damage institutional facilities or disrupt the classes of one's teachers or colleagues.

The State Government has set up an institutional mechanism to recover damages from persons or outfits organising bandhs, hartals and agitations in the event of destruction and harm to property of the State or that of State-owned corporations during such actions.
The institutional mechanism puts the onus on the heads of office of the various departments and chief executives of corporations to initiate legal proceedings through civil suits on the basis of the police investigations.
As soon as the damage is reported, the head of office shall, without any loss of time, lodge a complaint with the SHO of the police station having jurisdiction over the area where the damage has taken place.

 Dr. Ronald S. Federici/Articles
Too often, children from institutional settings are quickly categorized as having either a "reactive attachment disorder" or modicum of psychiatric syndromes ranging from Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Bipolar Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, varying types of depression and anxiety conditions or, very commonly, oppositional and conduct disorders or even autism/pervasive developmental disorders.
In promoting a better understanding of this unique and highly complex institutional autistic syndrome, families may be better prepared to adopt and raise an older child from an institutional setting.
The neuropsychology of bonding and attachment disorders is a critical part of assessment as neurocognitive rehabilitation techniques may be a valuable tool in teaching the post-institutionalized child brain improvement strategies which can enhance their ability to process and organize human emotions and enhance a greater depth of interpersonal relating.

 wcbstv.com - Measuring Tornados: The F-Scale
The F-scale is a damage scale developed for winds that relates the degree of damage to the intensity of wind.
The scale varies because the relationship between wind and damage depends strongly on the quality of a building’s structure, wind direction, duration, flying debis, and several other factors.
Damage reports can also be inconsistent and arbitrary and even meteorologists and engineers often report different F-measurements for the same storm.

The CIO unions were the practical mechanism for enforcing and refreshing the New Deal vision, as they had a vested institutional interest in unity and solidarity across the racial, religious, ethnic, occupational, and ideological differences among workers and citizens.
What’s missing, however, is an assessment of the damage done by this clash of union titans in 1949 and an analysis of the causes.
What was damaged irrevocably were institutions, not persons—Local 601, the UE, the CIO, the larger labor movement, and the democratic prospects of the postwar world.

 Sociological Approaches Hold Promise to Curb Campus Drinking
They identified a wide range of negative consequences that occur at many different levels: damage to self; damage to others in the form of interpersonal conflict and sexual assault, for example; and institutional damage, such as vandalism and tarnished town-gown relations and academic reputations of institutions.
Studies of the consequences of campus drinking also explored patterns across groups (e.g., differing in gender, ethnicity, age) and looked at correlations of college drinking with factors such as high school drinking and students’ perceptions of their own problems with drinking.
Large and small, urban and rural, and private and public institutions across the country have adopted the social norms approach, and institutions employing this approach (e.g., Northern Illinois University, the University of Arizona, and Western Washington University) report 10- to 25-percent decreases in high-risk drinking.
