Hodges' Model: Welcome to the QUAD

Hodges' model is a conceptual framework to support reflection and critical thinking. Situated, the model can help integrate all disciplines (academic and professional). Amid news items, are posts that illustrate the scope and application of the model. A bibliography and A4 template are provided in the sidebar. Welcome to the QUAD ...

In demand and supply also consider this within the sociological and interpersonal domains in the context of COVID? 

If people 'behave' themselves*, i.e. do not 'raid' the shelves there will (should) be sufficient supply for all. 

In political terms, what happens when a government raises the prospect (the dichotomy) of supply chain problems and potential shortages?

The 4Ps are relevant here:

intra- interpersonal - PURPOSES

sciences - PROCESS (mechanistic)

sociology - PRACTICE (gone awry)

political - POLICY (discipline in communications)

*UK context - acknowledging the global audience.

"Infodemic managers understand the potential for misinformation to grow rapidly and cause harm. There is evidence of rumours spreading quickly and impacting poorly on public health, public trust and vaccine acceptance. Yet every piece of viral misinformation starts small, as seen in the third frame above. At this stage, the little piece of misinformation looks innocent enough, all alone and quite innocuous. It probably doesn't have lots of social media interactions attached to it, it probably isn’t being shared very much.

Narrator: Friends, that little piece of misinformation had big plans

The image highlights why identifying information voids and emerging information hazards before they go viral is so important. If we can use the tools we have to listen to emerging concerns and questions and proactively identify information voids in conversations, we may be able to intervene early by filling in that conversation space in the third frame with high quality information before that piece of misinformation progresses to frame four. At WHO we are working with our partners on some useful tools for managing the COVID-19 infodemic. Keep an eye on the News Flash for more information."

I could instantly relate the image to the domains of Hodges' model as above.

COVID: Logic is the patient - again...

Hodges' model is evidence seeking, what logic might apply? 
 
Logic was once the 'patient':
“Yet, by 1530, formal logic was a dying branch of studies, and by the seventeenth century it had been completely forgotten. Why? No one to my knowledge has provided a satisfactory answer. Prantl, one of the earliest scholars to take notice of medieval logic, merely relied on the prejudice of four hundred years in depicting the universities as nursing; the sick but obstinate patient (dialectics), until 'the healthy spirit of antiquity conquered the scholastic pedantry'. Bochenski is not concerned with the mechanics of historical change. Ong gives the cause of death as an inherent weakness in medieval logic itself: 'Scholastic logic was dying of the frustration attendant upon its failure to develop a symbolic system adequate to its ambition and the promise of its initial development.' Even if medieval logic could not overcome this weakness, it had nevertheless hobbled along for three hundred fifty years with the malady! Even if the universities artificially prolonged its life, how exactly did the 'healthy spirit of antiquity' do away with the old warrior?” (Heath, 1971, p.47).

WHO and Religions for Peace global conference on strengthening national responses to health emergencies

WHO and Religions for Peace global conference
Hosted by the World Health Organization in collaboration with Religions for Peace and the EPI-WIN Faith Communities of Practice this global conference looks at ‘Strengthening national responses to health emergencies: WHO, Religious Leaders, Faith-based Organizations, Faith Communities and National Governments’.   

 Throughout history religious leaders, faith-based organizations, and faith communities at all levels, have played a key role in health emergency preparedness and response, and in many places, in ongoing health service delivery.   

The COVID-19 pandemic has magnified the important role faith partners, as trusted community leaders, play in mobilizing community led action to protect, care for and advocate for marginalized or vulnerable people; sharing critical, accurate and tailored health information; and providing spiritual care, guidance, and support during times of crisis and uncertainty.   

Together WHO and faith partners work with and in support of national governments to achieve joint health goals, mitigate the negative effects of health emergencies and ultimately help to bring them to an end.  

This conference delves into good practice examples, which cover diverse themes, regions, and faiths, and represent a valuable resource for the current and future health emergencies.   

The sessions of the conference will feature innovative responses in the areas of (i) Spiritual care during times of crisis, (ii) Country collaboration between WHO, faith partners and national governments, (iii) Trust and health histories, and (iv) Communication and advocacy for vaccine equity, access, and uptake.

Noting Tara Lamont's book and the intended audiences, I was reminded of the diverse potential user base for Hodges' model, with a few additions.

This was represented using four images on the old homepage of the now archived website (1998-2015):

https://www.webarchive.org.uk/wayback/en/archive/20141008034649/http://www.p-jones.demon.co.uk/index.htm

'Lifelong learner' should apply across all the domains of the model, but it is primarily about intrinsic motivation, a personal and voluntary initiative.

There is no 'evidence-based' explanation for the above, other than praxis. It has arisen over time,  associated with the care domains of Hodges' model. The situation is similar for the 4Ps in the model (italicised).
