In this paper, I argue that Herbert Simon's notion of "satisficing" provides a formally well-developed and empirically well-established theory of rationality that fits well with Kuhn's general characterization of science. I start by considering two rival interpretations of the problem of Kuhnian rationality and introduce Simon's notion of satisficing. In Section 3, I show how satisficing can be used to interpret paradigm, change, rational theory-choice, relativism, and progress. On this account, Kuhnian scientists are not irrational. Rather they employ the same computational mechanism which allows humans to play chess.展开更多

Methods: the management of infectious diseases in Huai 'an CDC was included: 2019.01.31~2019.12.31: routine management of infectious diseases (WKZ group), 2020.01.31~2021.05.31: prevention and control of infectious diseases (YFZ group). To compare the incidence of infectious diseases, health knowledge awareness rate and satisfaction. Results: the number of serious infectious diseases and epidemic events in YFZ group 3(0.66) and 0 (0) were better than those in WKZ group 12(2.64) and 5(1.10) (P<0.05). Health knowledge awareness rate: YFZ group (94.12±2.26) points, WKZ group (75.46±2.28) points (t=123.85, P=0.000<0.05);Satisfaction comparison: YFZ group was 425(93.61) and WKZ group was 401(88.33) (P<0.05). Conclusion: strengthening the control and management of infectious diseases can reduce the prevalence of infectious diseases and enhance people's awareness of prevention.展开更多
