Organising research on university student plagiarism: a process approach

Abstract This article examines the management of the seemingly ubiquitous problem of plagiarism by students in higher education. An integrated review of the conceptual and empirical literature to date is undertaken in the pursuit of two objectives. First, to provide structure to the scattered knowledge about the topic, which is achieved by developing a process framework of plagiarism management. Second, to identify, group and locate the determinants of each of the major events of the plagiarism management process: the occurrence of a plagiarism instance, its detection and the subsequent actions undertaken in response. Moreover, the framework incorporates the roles of the different actors involved (students, professors and the university) and the importance of the cultural, legal and technological context in which the instances of plagiarism may take place. This process approach aids in the identification of more integrated avenues for further research.
A Novel High Step-Up High Efficiency Interleaved DC–DC Converter With Coupled Inductor and Built-In Transformer for Renewable Energy Systems

This article proposes a novel step-up interleaved dc–dc converter that is suitable for renewable energy systems. Coupled inductor and built-in transformer voltage multiplier cell are applied to extend the voltage gain while increasing the power density. Hence, the step-up ratio can be adjusted by the turns ratios of the coupled inductor and the built-in transformer. Compared with the other converters with only built-in transformer or only coupled inductor, the combination of these techniques gives an extra degree of freedom to increase the voltage gain. The configuration of the proposed converter not only reduces the current stress through the components, but also the input current ripple is maintained at low values that lengthen the life time of the renewable power source. The energy of the leakage inductors is successfully recycled and the high-voltage spikes across the power switches are avoided, which improves the conversion efficiency. Due to the reduced voltage stress, low-voltage power MOSFETs can be adopted for reduction of conduction losses and cost. The principle operation and steady-state analysis are given to explore the advantages of the proposed converter. Finally, a 1-kW prototype with 45–675 V voltage conversion is built to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed converter.
From cancer patient to cancer survivor : lost in transition

With the risk of more than one in three getting cancer during a lifetime, each of us is likely to experience cancer, or know someone who has survived cancer. Although some cancer survivors recover with a renewed sense of life and purpose, what has often been ignored is the toll taken by cancer and its treatmenta "on health, functioning, sense of security, and well-being. Long lasting effects of treatment may be apparent shortly after its completion or arise years later. The transition from active treatment to post-treatment care is critical to long-term health. From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor focuses on survivors of adult cancer during the phase of care that follows primary treatment. The book raises awareness of the medical, functional, and psychosocial consequences of cancer and its treatment. It defines quality health care for cancer survivors and identifies strategies to achieve it. The book also recommends improvements in the quality of life of cancer survivors through policies that ensure their access to psychosocial services, fair employment practices, and health insurance. This book will be of particular interest to cancer patients and their advocates, health care providers and their leadership, health insurers, employers, research sponsors, and the public and their elected representatives.
The Contribution of Irrational Use of Chemical Products to Increasing Fenitrothion Resistance in Tunisian Populations of Culex pipiens pipiens (Diptera: Culicidae)

ABSTRACT: Tunisian populations of Culex pipiens pipiens, an important vector of human diseases, have developed resistance to organophosphate insecticides. To understand the origin of this resistance, knowledge of the impact on agricultural pest and mosquito control activities and its significance for the resistance mechanisms will be required. Five populations of C. p. pipiens were collected at various sites with different agricultural pest and mosquito control activities throughout Tunisia and tested for fenitrothion resistance level. Results were compared to those obtained from a control population where no chemical activities have been carried out. Our results strongly suggest the presence of a correlation between agrochemical products and the recorded resistance despite a rather limited number of studied sites (five populations). On the other hand, organophosphates control activities let us suggest the existence of an important impact on fenitrothion resistance. However, it appears that the application of pyrethroids have little to no impact on fenitrothion (organophosphate) resistance. The recorded resistance of the control population should be due to anthropogenic factors; however, the combined effect of migration and gene flow on the evolution of insecticide resistance should also be taken into consideration. The recorded resistance was mediated by both enzymatic detoxification and target-site sensitivity. Our findings showed a positive correlation between both metabolic and target site resistance and the level of resistance. In conclusions, we can say that the use of pesticides and insecticides by both agricultural and public health departments in Tunisia should be more rationalized to reduce the development of resistance in C. p. pipiens populations.
Participation in cultural legislation

ABSTRACT This article examines the recent legislative process concerning the funding of cultural institutions in Finland. The drafting of the bill was opened up to participation by artists and other professionals and facilitated by an outside partner. The text draws on research conducted to evaluate the participatory element in the law-drafting, and further analyses it in the wider framework of participatory decision-making and governance. The research shows that within the confined scope of the participatory phase of the law-drafting, the deliberative process succeeded in creating positive experiences of participation. However, set in the wider framework of the legislation, the effect of participation remains limited. A notion of ‘placebo participation’ is suggested to explain this perceived empowerment despite a lack of strong evidence for effective participation. The process is further interpreted in terms of incompatibility of interests between political participation and institutionally led participatory governance.
Analysis of teams’ corner kicks defensive strategies at the FIFA World Cup 2018

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to analyse corner kick defensive strategies during the 2018 FIFA World Cup. A total of 600 corner kicks from all 64 matches in the tournament were obtained from the InStat database and analysed. Data were analysed and reported as frequency counts and percentages. Chi-square test for independence (χ2) used to test associations between key performance indicators. Results showed that 22 goals (3.7% of all corners kicks) were conceded from corner kicks. Teams conceded more goals using a zonal marking strategy (6.0%) compared to a mixed marking strategy (3.7%). There was a significant association between types of corner kicks and defensive outcomes (χ2 = 111.30,V = 0.57). Most goals were conceded from inswing corner kicks (4.6%) compared to short (3.3%) and outswing (3.1%) corner kicks. Seventeen (3.9%) goals were conceded from corners when there were no players on the goal line. Most goals came from the centre (7.0%) and the first goalpost (3.5%). These findings highlight potential strategies soccer coaches may employ for an effective defensive set-up against corners, such as employing a mixed marking method, having players positioned on the goalposts and being aware of the attacking threat posed by short corner kicks.
Study on the Axial Leakage Magnetic Flux in a Spoke Type Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor

A spoke type permanent magnet synchronous motor generates axial leakage magnetic flux due to its flux-concentrating rotor structure, and therefore degrades the motor performance. Although a three-dimensional finite element method (3-D FEM) can be used to estimate the axial leakage magnetic flux, it requires a significant amount of time for analysis. In this article, a calibration coefficient is proposed to estimate the axial leakage magnetic flux using the two-dimensional finite element method (2-D FEM) instead of 3-D FEM. This calibration coefficient is expressed in terms of the major geometric parameters of a motor and can be calculated using the material information of the permanent magnet and the bridge of the rotor core in 2-D FEM. The validity of the proposed equation is verified through 3-D FEM and other tests.
Hipotensión ortostática en ancianos

Se define hipotension ortostatica (HO) como el descenso de la tension arterial al menos en 20 mmHg la sistolica y 10 mmHg la diastolica durante los tres primeros minutos de ortostatismo, y esta causada por una respuesta inadecuada de la tension arterial en el paso a la bipedestacion. Los sintomas que la acompanan son: mareo, vision borrosa, debilidad, fatiga, nauseas, palpitaciones, sudoracion, dolor de cabeza y cuello, lentificacion de pensamiento y perdida de conciencia. La HO es frecuente en los mayores y su etiologia puede variar entre patologias del sistema nervioso autonomo, problemas cardiacos, efectos secundarios indeseados de farmacos, deterioro fisiologico o modificaciones transitorias del volumen hematico. El diagnostico instrumental es sencillo, mediante la utilizacion de la mesa basculante con monitorizacion cardiovascular continua. Es una tecnica no invasiva y precisa minima colaboracion por parte del paciente. En nuestra experiencia, cuando hemos revisado a 327 pacientes mayores de 40 anos con sospecha clinica de HO, la prevalencia global fue del 51%, mientras que si consideramos solo a los mayores de 70 anos, la HO se demostro en el 90% de los casos. A medida que aumenta la edad, es mas frecuente el deterioro, la patologia neurologica o cardiaca, asi como los efectos secundarios de los farmacos. Descartar patologia neurologica o cardiaca puede mejorar drasticamente el pronostico, asi como hacer posible la reversibilidad de los sintomas. Se incluyen algunas medidas no farmacologicas y farmacologicas que pueden aminorar la HO y mejorar la calidad de vida del paciente.
Increased relaxation and present orientation after a period of silence in a natural surrounding

ABSTRACT Introduction: Nature and silence and their interrelationship have been rarely-discussed topics in music therapy research. We therefore compared the experience of silence in an indoor setting (university lecture room) with silence in a natural outdoor setting (city garden). Methods: Following a non-randomized repeated-measure design, we conducted two sessions of experiencing silence (indoors and outdoors) lasting 6:30 minutes and guided by a qualified music therapist. Participants were students (n = 46) who experienced the two conditions in two different groups in reverse order with one week in between each session. After each session, participants filled out questionnaires pertaining to their senses of self, space and time during the period of silence, as well as their states of relaxation and boredom. Results: Silence both indoors and outdoors is effective in significantly fostering relaxation. The outdoor condition led to a stronger present orientation (experiencing the moment) and a reduced past orientation (referring to memories) accompanied by more relaxation and less boredom. Discussion: Silence in a natural setting has the potential to alter states of consciousness in a qualitative way that is comparable to meditation. Silence in nature could prove effective as part of guided music therapy sessions.
Emotion Communication Through Voice Modulation: Insights on Biological and Evolutionary Underpinnings of Language

Abstract. The aim of this review is to enhance our understanding of the role of emotional communication in the emergence of language. I provide data on the following research topics: 1) Cross-species comparative approach to the anatomical principles governing emotional vocal production. 2) Analysis of acoustic parameters conveying emotional arousal and valence through voice modulation across human cultures and a wide variety of vocalizing nonhuman animals. On this regard, I will describe the evolutionary advantage of being able to identify emotional content in both heterospecific and conspecific vocalizations. 3) The relative salience of emotional voice modulation and verbal content in emotional meaning processing, as an indicator of the biological role of voice modulation in the emergence of language. Finally, I propose that co-evolutionary dynamics between genetic transmission of the cognitive mechanisms underpinning language and socio-cultural transmission of vocal behaviors are responsible for the emergence of the abilities involved in language.
Gallium arsenide optomechanical disks approaching the quantum regime

Le but de cette these est d'atteindre l'etat de mouvement fondamental sur des disques optomecaniques en arseniure de gallium. La mecanique quantique prevoit en effet que la quantite d'energie d'un systeme physique (mecanique ou autre) ne peut jamais etre reduite totalement a zero. Il existe cependant un etat de plus basse energie, que l'on appelle l'etat fondamental. L'effet physique utilise pendant cette these pour extraire de l'energie du systeme (et ainsi atteindre l'etat fondamental) est le couplage opto-mecanique. Les micro-disques supportent des resonances optiques a symetrie axiale appelees modes de galerie ainsi que des resonances mecaniques appelees modes de respiration. Le couplage entre ces deux modes peut etre intuitivement compris comme suit: lorsque le disque "respire" mecaniquement, la circonference du disque ressentie par le mode optique change, ce qui induit un decalage de sa longueur d'onde de resonance. A l'inverse, le mode optique exerce une pression de radiation sur les parois du disque, qui peut amplifier ou attenuer le mouvement mecanique. Le refroidissement opto-mecanique est d'autant plus efficace que les resonances (optique comme mecanique) ont de faibles taux de dissipation. Une grande partie de ce travail de these a donc ete dediee a la reduction de ces pertes. Des efforts technologiques ont permis d'obtenir des structures lisses et regulieres, pour eviter la diffusion (et donc la dissipation) de lumiere par rugosites. Afin de reduire la dissipation mecanique, une structure novatrice incluant des boucliers mecaniques a ete developpee, et a permis de reduire la dissipation mecanique d'un facteur 100. L'etat du systeme apres refroidissement opto-mecanique depend par ailleurs de sa temperature initiale. Il est donc avantageux de placer l'echantillon dans un cryostat. L'appareil utilise au cours de cette these permet de refroidir l'echantillon jusqu'a une temperature de 2,6 K. Les experiences de photonique en environnement cryogenique imposant des contraintes en terme de stabilite, il a ete necessaire de d'opter pour une approche avec guide d'onde integre. Le developpement de guides d'ondes entierement suspendus a permis d'apporter et de collecter la lumiere depuis le disque de maniere optimale. Toutes ces efforts ont permis de descendre a un taux d'occupation mecanique de 30 quanta. Cependant de nombreuses ameliorations peuvent encore etre implementees, afin d'ancrer ces resonateurs fermement dans l'etat fondamental, ce qui permettrait d'effectuer par exemple des experiences d'intrication quantique
Risk analysis and management of Private Finance Initiative projects

The Private Finance Initiative (PFI) is a recent development in the UK in which private sector organisations, design, build, finance and operate assets to deliver a service to public sector clients. The initiative is expected to bring the private sector's finance, management skills and expertise into projects which would normally be undertaken by the public sector. Equivalents of this initiative, also found outside the UK, include DBFO (Design Build Finance Operate), BOO (Build Own Operate) and turnkey projects. Two important considerations for a project to receive an approval for the initiative are that it must represent value for money and there must be sufficient transfer of risk to the private sector. This paper, based on a questionnaire survey, provided the perceptions of clients, contractors and financial institutions on risk associated with PFI and how these determine their approach to PFI schemes. The analysis shows that design changes and the level of information on functional, performance and output requirements for PFI schemes are of major concern to the parties involved in this procurement route.
Psychosocial issues near the end of life: A resource for professional care providers.

Although numerous books have been written on the physical and practical aspects of providing services to people who are dying, relatively little has been written on the psychological, spiritual, and interpersonal issues that arise. Until now, psychologists and mental health professionals who work with the dying and their loved ones have had no resource to guide them toward empirically supported practices that can improve quality of life. This book fills that gap. Improving quality of care requires an interdisciplinary approach, and the contributors to this volume bring multiple perspectives to bear on the topic. Chapter authors from both research and clinical perspectives cover how the end-of-life environment has changed over time; the kinds of decisions that need to be made; the role of psychologists in end-of-life care; cross-cultural considerations; assessment; legal issues; practical caregiving; misinformation about depression and hopelessness; and the respective roles of caregivers and hospices. The final chapter by the editors lays out a blueprint for future research, care, education and policy. This book provides a model for the important role that psychologists can play in ensuring that end-of-life care balances physical care with psychosocial and spiritual care.
‘I could have been the caretaker in a suit’: men as primary school SENCos in an era of change

ABSTRACT This paper examines the experiences of four men working as Special Educational Needs Coordinators in primary schools in England. There is currently no published research that draws insights from the small population of male SENCos, nor that explores the gendered aspects of leading for inclusion. Set against recent SEN policy reform and a changing demographic profile of the SENCo population, the paper contributes novel understandings of men’s experiences of SEN coordination and middle leadership, as ascertained through narrative interviews. By interrogating these previously unheard stories and drawing on the theory of ‘practice architectures’, recommendations for policy and practice in the training and induction of new SENCos are made.
Fear Generalization of Emotional Stimuli Can Be Explained By a Bayesian Inference Model

The amount of generalization that organisms show from learned associations to new stimuli can often be explained by perceptual dissimilarity, i.e. distance in psychological space. However, this doesn’t seem to be true using emotionally relevant stimuli like fearful faces. We propose that this can be understood in a Bayesian framework in which the organism infers a mapping of psychological space onto outcome probabilities by integrating prior assumptions with new information. This approach allows for the incorporation of domain specific prior knowledge. We employed face stimuli that differ on one fear relevant (emotional expression) and one fear irrelevant (identity) dimension in combination with Pavlovian conditioning to investigate generalization at several time points. We can show that generalization is skewed towards the fear relevant pole in the beginning, but gravitates towards the actually reinforced stimulus over time. Our Bayesian model that comprises a prior belief state about the structure of the predictive relationship between the psychological space and an aversive outcome can reproduce the experimental data.
The Efficacy of Using Learning Cues to Teach Children Perform the Backhand

Attention is very important for learning. Children are known for not paying much attention due to lack of selective attention resources. Selective attention is the ability to direct the attentional focus to a specific point in the environment, in order to pay attention to what is relevant (Ladewig et all, 2001). One way to assist children to pay more attention while teaching a task, is by using cues, that are one or two words, short phrases, with higher meaning to the learner. The objective of the current study was to test the efficacy of the cues, while school children performed the backhand. The statistical results of the retention test have shown, after 20 days rest without any practice, very high levels of significance in favor of the cue group, which was even able to increase the mean average from the post-test. On the other hand, children that did not receive cues had a decrease in performance in all six technical factors, from the post-test to the retention. In conclusion, the use of learning cues was very effective in assisting children to learn the backhand. Future research must continue to explore the use of cues, while teaching different motor skills in different contexts.
