Authors:   Buzuluk Humanitarian and Technological Institute (branch of Orenburg State University), Konovalov V.N.
Published: April 2021

In order for tax administration to be fully effective, the Federal Tax Service of Russia should pay attention to improving the methods and forms of tax control, which is currently one of the primary tasks. The subject of this study is the problem of tax evasion. The article studies the experience of Russia and other countries in the fighting against intentional tax evasion. Information is given about the currently observed scales of the shadow economy abroad. In addition, the factors that affect the volumes of this indicator are identified. Among them: the level of economic and social development of a particular country, the degree of the tax burden of payers, as well as the level of the tax culture formed in society. It is necessary that someone would take measures to combat tax evasion of taxpayers whose activities are characterized by high tax risks. The article studies the measures that the tax authorities of the Russian Federation use to identify cases of evasion and counteraction to such situations. The structure of tax audits is considered from the point of view of the key instruments of tax control in the Russian Federation. In order for all stages of tax administration to be implemented most effectively, it is necessary to organize a full range of actions to improve the level of tax culture of actual and potential payers, regulate the tax burden on the population, and coordinate the activities of all state structures related to tax control. Additional attention should be paid to the introduction of innovative digital technologies in the process of tax administration.

The Nature of Domestic Demand for Authentic Ethnic Experiences in Egypt: Exploring Egyptian Visitors’ Perspectives and Assessments of Bedouin Cultural Attractions
Authors: Abdelfattah Ahmed , Eddy U Mary
Published: April 2021

Much emphasis in the literature on Bedouin tourism in the Arab world has been given to the demands, perceptions, motivations and experiences of international tourists while domestic demands are not fully understood. Thus, this study challenges the status quo, being one of a few studies in which Egyptians are represented as tourists consuming Egyptian ethnic culture. A mix of qualitative research methods, including 29 semi-structured interviews with domestic visitors, observational data and document analysis, was employed to explore Egyptian visitors’ perspectives and assessments of Bedouin cultural attractions in Egypt. The findings revealed that the concept of experiencing existential authenticity through interactions with the workers and performers appeared to be outside the visitors’ sphere of thought, as they focused almost exclusively on tangible elements of the site offerings. This study has important implications for Bedouin tourism suppliers as well as tourism researchers. Egyptian visitors can be viewed as a powerful potential market for Bedouin attractions. Thus, site management should reconsider their approach to Egyptian visitors, as well as rethink the mission and goals of their site. Theoretically, the findings of this study strongly contest the notion that objective authenticity is no longer essential in ethnic tourism.
Amir’s Life Story: Resilience and Other Soft Skills Development to Thrive, Despite Vulnerable Beginnings
Authors: Zainal-Abidin Yatela , Awang-Hashim Rosna , Nordin Hasniza
Published: April 2021

This article explores the life story of Amir, a young adult from a rural village in Malaysia, who built resilience and developed soft skills to thrive in his life despite his vulnerable beginnings. Amir’s strong resilience and other soft skills that assisted him to be outstanding in his academics and career may have resulted from his caring and supportive authoritative mother, countering his strict and harsh authoritarian father, with an ecological system of protective factors and developmental assets strengthened by religiosity and spirituality. However, both his parents’ extremely different confrontive and coercive methods appeared to have worked together towards the development of certain soft skills, such as his entrepreneurial mindset. This fresh outlook may provide guidance to assist vulnerable children and youth from rural areas to thrive, while raising new questions for future research.
Collaboration Patterns as a Function of Research Experience Among Mixed Researchers: A Mixed Methods Bibliometric Study
Authors: Wachsmann Melanie , Onwuegbuzie Anthony , Hoisington Susan , Gonzales Vanessa , Wilcox Rachael , Valle Rachel , Aleisa Majed
Published: April 2021

Onwuegbuzie et al. (2018) documented that the degree of collaboration is higher for mixed researchers than for qualitative and quantitative researchers. The present investigation examined the (a) link between the research experience of lead authors and their propensity to collaborate (Quantitative Phase), and (b) role of research experience in collaborative mixed research studies (Qualitative Phase). Analyses of articles published in the Journal of Mixed Methods Research from 2007 (its inception) to the third issue in 2018 (time of data collection) revealed that the average research experience of lead authors decreased from 20.29 in 2007 to 14.24 in 2017 (last complete year), representing a significant reduction of 29.8%. No statistically significant relationship emerged between degree of collaboration and research experience. The qualitative phase yielded 3 themes and 9 subthemes that identified several differences and similarities between the desire for collaboration and research experience. In particular, for the least-experienced mixed methods researchers, collaboration might be associated with negative emotions (e.g., frustration, stress, anxiety) and this coupled with the lack of perceived weaknesses reported by the most-experienced sub-participants, suggest that years of experience have an impact on their affective state during the conduct of collaborative mixed methods research studies. Implications of these findings are discussed.
Differential Qualitative Analysis: A Pragmatic Qualitative Methodology to Support Personalised Healthcare Research in Heterogenous Samples
Authors: Gonot-Schoupinsky Freda , Garip Gulcan
Published: April 2021

Differential qualitative analysis (DQA) was developed as a pragmatic qualitative health methodology for the exploration of individual differences, behaviours, and needs within heterogeneous samples. Existing qualitative methodologies tend to emphasise the identification of general principles, an approach that can lead to standardised treatment, care, and medicine. DQA emphasises the identification of individual variation, in order to inform personalised healthcare. DQA comprises an accessible three-stage approach: first individual profiles are explored and differentiated into research-relevant subgroups; then each subgroup is analysed, and findings identified; finally, the data is analysed in its entirety and overall and subgroup findings are presented. DQA was developed as a new qualitative approach to: (1) emphasise the identification of person and patient-centered findings; (2) facilitate the analysis of sample heterogeneity, including variation in responses and intervention outcomes; (3) provide a convenient, pragmatic, systematic, and transparent methodology; (4) bridge the qualitative-quantitative divide with a mutually accessible approach. DQA may be particularly relevant for mixed methods research, early-stage interventions, and research exploring personalised and patient-centred care, and integrative medicine.
Factors Behind Dissuasion to Green Products Among Young Consumers: A Qualitative Study
Authors: Acharya Anitha
Published: April 2021

The current estimated market share for green consumption is less than five percent worldwide, therefore it is very important to understand the factors that stimulate non green consumption among young consumers since this can promote environmental thinking at an early age and also to increase the demand for green products. In these circumstances, emerging countries like India have contributed very less to the consumption of green products and environmental effects. India is among the fastest growing economies in the world. With the increase in population as well as in disposable income, India is expected to see a growth in green consumption. However, that does not seem to be the case. Although, consumption of products is widely prevalent in India and has been growing steadily over the years, the same is not seen with regards to green products in particular. The present paper attempts to investigate the factors for less consumption of green products in the emerging market of India. 31 college students aged 21-25 years participated in the study. An unstructured interview technique was employed to find out the reasons for less consumption of green products among young Indian consumers. Thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. Four main themes namely incomprehension, extortionate, limited product range and non-availability emerged out of the study. The implications of these results for policy makers are discussed at the end of the paper.
Using Web Forums for Qualitative Inquiries: Empirical Findings on the Conditions and Techniques for Asynchronous Online Group Discussions
Authors: Schiek Daniela , Ullrich Carsten
Published: April 2021

This paper presents findings from an experimental empirical study about web forum discussions as instruments for qualitative research inquiries. It focuses on written, asynchronous group discussions between absent communication partners and deals with autonomous group discussions instead of strongly structured focus groups. The autonomous development of subtopics by the group using written communication between absent partners is a particular challenge for both the researcher and the debaters. Under which conditions and using which techniques do qualitative group discussions using a web forum work successfully? Three aspects of running such discussions can be clarified: a surprisingly modest group size, a duration of two or three months and thematically reserved moderation but very “active reading” by the researcher produce positive results. Further research should study the function of multithreading, which was observed being used by the debaters.

THE IMPACT OF TEACHER SELF-EFFICACY ON TEACHING TECHNIQUES: TRADITIONAL OR CONTEMPORARY?
Authors: Değirmencioğlu Ümit Levent
Published: April 2021

There are countless factors that impact the process of second language learning and teaching in both positive and negative ways. These factors are not limited to only student-oriented factors since some of them might stem from teachers themselves as well. One of the teacher-oriented factors that shape the learning/ teaching process is teacher’s levels of self-efficacy. For decades, teacher self-efficacy has been holding its position as being one of the most popular topics of investigation. Many studies have been conducted to further understand its effect on classroom environment. These studies have put forward a great deal of invaluable findings. However, only a few examined its effects on teaching methods and techniques used in the classroom. The present study set out to investigate this issue by collecting data from 64 EFL teachers, using both quantitative and qualitative methods with a three-staged survey. The findings showed: 1) Turkish EFL teachers have moderately high teacher self-efficacy, 2) age and gender are not factors affecting teacher self-efficacy while teaching experience is, 3) teachers with high self-efficacy use more modern techniques in their lessons and 4) high self-efficacy leads teachers to more implementations of communicative and collaborative tasks. The findings have numerous implications for further research that will be conducted in Turkey as they shed light on the relationship between teacher self-efficacy and teaching methods. Teachers of foreign languages should also be aware of the teaching implications that have been suggested throughout the study and criticize their teaching techniques in terms of traditional or contemporary, by bearing in mind their levels of self-efficacy.

Revisiting Trauma: Wounds Seen and Unseen in Canadian and Indian Prison Narratives
Authors: Dalal Lavanya
Published: April 2021

Trauma Studies and Prison Narratives have emerged over the past few decades as the most significant fields in the humanities. There has been a significant discussion regarding the psychological effects of incarceration; however, literature examining prison as a site of trauma is unusual. Focusing on Iftikhar Gilani's My Days in Prison (2005) and Yvonne Johnson and Rudy Wiebe's Stolen Life: The Journey of a Cree Woman (1998), the article analyzes how prison narratives represent prison as a violent space that inflicts trauma in its characters. These prison narratives represent Yvonne Johnson, the prisoner in Stolen Life, and Gilani as victims of acute psychological trauma faced due to the sheer viciousness of the prison system. The article also concentrates on how the prison experience is both similar and different in Canada and India.
The Relationships Between Student Ratings and Instructor Behavior: Implications for Improving Teaching
Authors: Cranton Patricia A. , Hillgartner William
Published: April 2021

Although students' ratings of instruction have been examined in detail by educational researchers, the relationship between ratings and actual classroom behavior has not often been investigated. This study explores the relationship between student ratings and classroom observations. Twenty-eight professors from a wide range of academic disciplines participated in the study. Mean student ratings and frequencies of behavior in several categories were obtained for each professor. It was found that instructor behavior significantly predicted student questionnaire responses in three general areas. (1) When instructors spent time structuring classes and explaining relationships, students gave higher ratings on logical organization items. (2) When professors praised student behavior, asked questions and clarified or elaborated on student responses, ratings on the effectiveness of discussion leading were higher. (3) When instructor time was spent in discussions, praising student behavior, and silence (waiting for answers), students tended to rate the classroom atmosphere as being one which encourages learning.

Academic Management — The Case for Challenge
Authors: Dowdeswell W. H. , Good Harold M.
Published: April 2021

An examination was made of how well certain units involved in managing the teaching-learning organizations of universities work. Criteria for acceptable operation involved clarity of communication, matches between objectives at different levels of the administrative hierarchy, matches between objectives and methods, and rationality of approach to cost-effectiveness. Significant defects were found in relation to each of these criteria suggesting that both selection and training of staff at all levels are now, to some degree, deficient. Inefficiencies relating to poor information gathering, and poor communication were identified as was unnecessary duplication between faculty and department organizations.

Teaching Assistant Unionization: Origins and Implications
Authors: Rogow Robert , Birch Daniel R.
Published: April 2021

Teaching assistants are represented by unions in the majority of large universities in Ontario and British Columbia (and in one smaller Saskatchewan university). Both traditional economic motivation and social/psychological/political factors appear to have contributed to unionization. The unionized universities tend to be in urban settings, to have large graduate student enrolments and to have faced greater budgetary concerns at the time of unionization. Graduate students in those first unionized had lower incomes than others and a higher proportion enrolled in the humanities and social sciences and the discrepancy was greater between the income of students in these fields and that of students in other fields. The refusal of labour relations boards in Canada to allow the "student" relationship to invalidate an "employee" relationship contrasts with decisions of the (U.S.) National Labour Relations Board. This and the fact that Canadian public policy is generally more supportive of public sector unionization and more protective of unions during the period of organizing and negotiating a first agreement, perhaps account for the greater extent of T.A. unionization in Canada than in the U.S. Although as short-term, part-time employees, T.A. 's would seem to be unlikely candidates for unionization, T.A. bargaining is now an accepted institutional reality with collective agreement achievements to point to and dues income to draw on. Future budgetary, program and priority changes are likely to generate graduate student anxiety and trigger further T.A. unionization.
Drug Use, Dependence, and Addiction at a British Columbia University: Good News and Bad News
Authors: Alexander Bruce K.
Published: April 2021

Two studies were undertaken to determine the perceived and actual prevalence of drug use, dependence, and addiction among students at Simon Fraser University. In thefirst, 144 students estimated the percentage of their fellow students that used each of seven drugs daily. Subsequently, each student reported how many days he or she had personally used each drug in the previous month. Estimated daily use (attributed tofellow students) was far higher than reported daily use. In a second study, detailed individual interviews of another group of students confirmed the unexpectedly low frequencies of daily use found in the first study: However, this does not mean that dependence and addiction were not a problem; of 107 students interviewed in the second study, 31% reported current dependence and about 5% current addiction. Surprisingly, the most common drugs in compulsive use were caffeine and nicotine followed, at a distance, by cannabis and alcohol. A new orientation towards drug problems among Canadian undergraduates in the 1980's is proposed, in which exaggerated concern over exotic, illicit drugs is replaced by greater awareness of serious problems of dependence and addiction to familiar drugs.

Fiscal Transfers, Horizontal Equity and Post-Secondary Education
Authors: Hum Derek , Strain Frank
Published: April 2021

Horizontal equity is interpreted to mean that equals in different provinces should be treated equally. We argue that current arrangements for government funding of post-secondary education in Canada are flawed because they contain provisions which perpetuate disparities in the treatment of Canadians by province of residence. Current arrangements are criticized for inadequate equalization and lack of expenditure standards. An education-needs adjustment factor is suggested. Fiscal equity strives to ensure that citizens in all provinces have access to comparable services and bear comparable tax burdens. The cost of services is conditional on the expenditure standard selected and the number of beneficiaries. The capacity to provide the service is related to the population and wealth of the province. Accordingly, our suggested amendment incorporates all these elements; it allows greater fiscal transfers to provinces experiencing greater need and/or smaller tax bases.
International University Students in Canada: Obtaining the Information Needed for Policy Making
Authors: Holdaway Edward A. , Bryan Wendy M. , Allan Wilfred H.
Published: April 2021

International university students represent sources of goodwill and benefits for their host countries. Unfortunately, Canada, although still one of the major receiving countries, has seen a substantial decline in international enrolment during the 1980s. Reasons proposed for this decline include differential fees, insufficient financial support, quotas, and employment restrictions. The problems most frequently encountered by international students in Canada involve immigration procedures, accommodation, language, loneliness, and funding. The formulation of policies concerning these problems and other matters relevant to international university students occurs at the federal, provincial, and institutional levels. Even though the main forces driving such policies are cultural, financial, and political, the policies should take into account information about the needs, desires, and experiences of international students. A comprehensive 1986-87 University of Alberta survey of international students served as a case study to demonstrate how research can better inform policy making in this area. Respondents suggested that they would be helped by being allowed to work in Canada while studying and after graduation, which is a federal policy area, and by having more scholarships available to them and differential fees removed, both of which are provincial and institutional policy areas.
The Effects of Gender and Parental Education on Participation Within Post-Secondary Education in the 1970s and 1980s
Authors: Guppy Neil , Pendakur Krishna
Published: April 2021

Knowledge of factors affecting access to post-secondary education is growing, but we know much less about influences shaping patterns of study within higher education. This paper explores the impact of gender and parental education on student decisions to study part-time or full-time, to choose college or university, and to enroll in different fields of study. These issues are examined using representative national samples of Canadian students from 1974-75 and 1983-84. We demonstrate that both gender and family education play decisive roles in influencing patterns of participation in higher education and that the effects of family background differ significantly between women and men.

Les francophones qui veulent poursuivre des études postsecondaires en français font face à de sérieux problèmes. Cet article examine la condition de /' enseigne- ment postsecondaire offert à la minorité francophone hors Québec en notant d'abord le problème d'accessibilité à des institutions postsecondaires francophones et le phénomène d'assimilation des francophones, pour examiner principalement les effets des institutions postsecondaires mixtes sur les franco- phones. Les auteurs font une synthèse de certaines recherches et statistiques pertinentes et partagent le fruit de leurs expériences dans l'établissement des écoles francophones homogènes en Alberto.
Recherche universitaire et priorités nationales: l'effet du financement public sur la recherche en énergie solaire au Canada
Authors: Dalpe Robert , Gingras Yves
Published: April 2021

Nous étudions l'impact des deux principales sources de financement de la recherche universitaire dans le domaine de l'énergie solaire (le Programme des actions thématiques en énergie du CRSNG et les programmes du ministère de l'Énergie, des Mines et des Ressources), afin de déterminer si elles ont orienté la recherche enfonction des priorités gouvernementales. La méthodologie consiste à établir une relation entre les intrants (le financement) et les extrants (les publications scientifiques). La relation la plus forte unit les chercheurs ayant publié dans les revues spécialisées en énergie solaire et ceux subventionnés par le CRSNG. Au début de la période étudiée, à lafois le niveau des publications et celui des subventions ont augmenté considérablement. On remarque l'émergence d'un noyau de chercheurs en énergie solaire, qui a eu la capacité d'obtenir du financement de plusieurs sources.
Is the Post-secondary Classroom a Chilly One for Women?: A Review of the Literature
Authors: Williams Dana
Published: April 2021

A review of the literature on gender bias in the post-secondary classroom reveals that in many cases women students do not participate in class discussions as much as men students. Cause and effect cannot be determined from these studies, but a female teacher and teacher training in sex equitable behaviour are two factors associated with increased female participation. Studies examining student evaluations of teachers reveal that female students rate their female professors higher than their male professors. Research examining post-secondary experiences leading to women's achievement and self-confidence after graduation suggests that attending a woman's college and having female teachers are important. Future research is needed to determine the cause and effect relationship between specific classroom variables on women's classroom participation, satisfaction, and achievement after graduation.
Detecting Gender Discrimination in University Salaries: A Case Study
Authors: Swartzman Leora C. , Seligman Clive , McClelland Wlliam J.
Published: April 2021

To assess sex discrimination in university salary allocation accurately, one must determine whether gender explains the salary difference in and of itself, or exerts its influence through other variables, such as rank and departmental affiliation, that themselves affect salary and may correlate with gender. Using members of the Faculty of Social Science (N = 133) of a large Canadian university as a case sample, we assessed gender discrimination in promotion and gender differences in departmental affiliation as related to salary before including these two variables in statistical analyses predicting salary. No evidence was found for discrimination in promotion and women were not morie under-represented in the higher-salaried departments. Several regression models recommended in the literature for assessing gender discrimination in salaries were conducted and yielded convergent findings : male and female faculty similar on salary-relevant variables were equivalently paid. While these results should be reassuring, they would not go very far toward resolving salary discrimination disputes in the university studied or in most other academic institutions. The difficulties of applying the results of statistical analyses within a politically-charged arena are discussed.

Myths Revisited
Authors: O’Neill G. Patrick
Published: April 2021

Do universities reward teaching? Do universities reward publication? Which is rewarded more: teaching or publication? Do research and publication undermine good teaching? These questions, perhaps more than any others, spark emotional outbursts among academics. Many are quick to champion a view, but their arguments often fly in the face of hard data. What then do the data show? Are they exhaustive? Are they uniform? One set of answers is found in Professor Johnston's article entitled, "Myth Conceptions of Academic Work" which appeared in the Canadian Journal of Higher Education, Vol. XXI-2, 1991. Another set is found in this article. The reader is left to draw his or her own conclusion.
Gender Issues in University: The University As Employer Of Academic And Nonacademic Women And Men
Authors: Looker E. Dianne
Published: April 2021

This paper examines data from a small university in Atlantic Canada, focusing on the university as employer, in order to highlight one aspect of the impact of gender on universities. The data include official records on all employees, details from contracts and terms of employment, responses to questionnaires sent to all employees, and unstructured interviews conducted with university officials. Employees belong to one of six groups: faculty, librarians, professional and technical workers, secretarial-clerical workers, physical plant employees, and "non-classified". Working conditions and salaries vary across groups and within groups by step, rank or level. Women employees are concentrated in the secretarial-clerical group, one of two with restrictive working conditions. Women are more likely than men to be part-time employees, with few employee benefits. Men dominate the higher ranks of each group; women are concen- trated at the lower ranks. Regression analyses of salaries show that, even with controls for rank, seniority and education, women in each employee group tend to earn considerably less than their male colleagues. Responses to the questionnaire reveal that women report more gender discrimination and sexual harassment than do men. The analysis highlights the importance of developing structures to address issues of gender equity for all university employees.
