INTRODbCTION The legal development of Taiwan' in the twentieth century reflects the complex legacy of "one land with two national flags." A government imposed by Japan ruled Taiwan for the first half of the twentieth century (1895-1945), followed by a government originating in China (the Chinese mainland) in the second half of the century (1945-2000). The people who came from Japan or Republican China became the leading class in Taiwan. Accordingly, these two regimes were regarded by the native inhabitants as foreign rulers.2 Taiwan's legal institutions underwent a radical change on the eve of the twentieth century.

  • Homeopathy Works, Then Obviously the Less You Use It, the Stronger It Gets
    http://www.physics.smu.edu/pseudo "...for the purposes of popular discourse, it is not necessary for homeopaths to prove their case. It is merely necessary for them to create walls of obfuscation, and superficially plausible technical documents that support their case, in order to keep the dream alive in the imaginations of both the media and their defenders." --Ben Goldacre If homeopathy works, then obviously the less you use it, the stronger it gets. So the best way to apply homeopathy is to not use it at all. --Phil Plait http://www.physics.smu.edu/pseudo “Alternative Medicine” - Homeopathy - Supplementary Material for CFB3333/PHY3333 Professors John Cotton, Randy Scalise, and Stephen Sekula http://www.physics.smu.edu/pseudo ● FRINGE ● The land of wild ideas, mostly untested or untestable.

  • Transparency in the Time of Constant Change
    PhUSE 2014 Paper RG02 Transparency in the Time of Constant Change Todd Case, Biogen Idec, Cambridge MA, USA ABSTRACT The time has come, after years of hard work, to submit your application to the regulatory agency for review and possible approval! What a relief to be able to finally hand off all of your hard work and, wait a minute, ensure that all data can be reproducible?!? While CDISC has been widely adopted and its SDTM and AdAM models widely implemented, there is still the need to understand the process of ensuring that all the data is a reflection of how it was originally collected, which in some cases can be very challenging. This paper will discuss some more trending ways of both creating and presenting data in ways that ensure it is consumable and can be understood not only for analysis/submission purposes but also that post-approval it is transparent and that everyone who has a vested stake can review the data in an appropriate way. INTRODUCTION With the publication of Bad Pharma: How Medicine is Broken , and How We Can Fix it, by Dr. Ben Goldacre in 2013 a bright spotlight was shone on the data behind/supporting clinical trials. A large part of his thesis is that pharmaceutical companies exaggerate the efficacy of successful trials and that, in addition to drug companies, regulators , physicians (who are educated by the drug companies) and even patient groups have failed to protect us. Another rather striking revelation was that a clinical trial with positive results is twice more likely to be published than one with negative results (although it should be noted that this specifically is related to results – the protocol is always provided).

In both he provides an entertaining, accessible and colleagues). Even journals, which are considered to be an unbiased well-researched exposé of poor scientific practices. Compared to source of medical knowledge, are not free from this – journal articles his first book, which played charlatans such as Gillian McKeith are regularly ghost-written by employees of drug companies and an and homoeopathists for laughs, Bad Pharma is a much more eminent academic is invited to put their name to it; this appears in sombre read. However, as a piece of investigative journalism, and the journal, again without disclosure. a resource for students, doctors and patients, it is invaluable. Drugs are tested by the people who Food for thought Goldacre opens by making a claim that: “Drugs are tested by the manufacture them, in poorly designed people who manufacture them, in poorly designed trials, on trials, on hopelessly small numbers of hopelessly small numbers of weird, unrepresentative patients, and unrepresentative patients, and analysed analysed using techniques which are flawed by design, in such a way that exaggerate the benefits of treatments.
