Where there's smoke: The library's role in bibliographic analysis of academic misconduct
Authors: Seeland Josh
Published: July 2024

Literature from many disciplines has, for years, called for library involvement in academic integrity. More recently, it has been suggested that libraries and those working in them are well-suited to assist in detecting plagiarism. At the same time, literature specific to quality in academic libraries has emphasized the development of and focus on services, and what libraries do rather than what they have.
With this in mind, and with academic integrity in its portfolio, the Library at Assiniboine Community College has added a new service to the identification stage of its holistic approach to academic integrity. Combining existing resources on bibliographic forensics, text-matching software, and discovery interviews, it allows for the library to leverage its unique knowledge of available resources in identifying academic misconduct.

Pens for hire: Part 2
Authors: Buerger Geoffrey E.
Published: July 2024

This is part two of a three part invited article series examining the historical evolution of the contract cheating industry.  As far back as the aftermath of the First World War there were small commercial operators serving the wants of students who preferred to purchase essays rather than write them. Occasionally, as described in part one of this series, these were exposed by journalists and once even taken to court by local authorities. By the end of the turbulent 1960s, however, those businesses had emerged from the shadows and were aggressively advertising their wares. In response, universities and government entities made more determined attempts to suppress the trade. This article focuses on the attempts of three jurisdictions to shut down the term paper mills: New York, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts. Part two concludes with a series of questions to encourage reflection and discussion with students or educators and practitioners.
Moral Universe
Authors: Kaler Michael , Richter Christoph , Scoville Chester , Szigeti Steve
Published: July 2024

In this article, we present early results of surveys conducted at the University of Toronto, Mississauga campus, across four terms (January 2020 to December 2021) of early-year undergraduate students to determine their understanding and views of plagiarism. Our survey instrument gathered basic demographic information as well as asked participants to respond to 24 statements using a 5-point Likert scale. We share our analysis of responses to 15 statements in the survey which were intended to provide an understanding of the “moral universe” of students—that is, the way that they contextualize plagiarism in terms of their moral standards. Our major finding is that although students across three disciplines (Humanities, Social Science, and Science) recognized the potential harm of plagiarism to the value of their degrees, they also believed self-plagiarism to be less serious than other forms of academic integrity offences. We consider how the moral universe of students differs from the moral universe implied in the University’s codes and argue that the messaging used by academic institutions should convey the reasons for taking plagiarism seriously. We argue that presenting plagiarism as similar to theft of property rather than an issue of pedagogy might inadvertently encourage students to consider self-plagiarism to be more acceptable than other forms of plagiarism.
Creative evaluation
Authors: Seeland Josh , Rexe Scout , Munn Caitlin
Published: July 2024

With academic integrity anchored in teaching and learning (Bertram Gallant, 2016), perhaps its future could be positively influenced by more creative evaluation processes and methods. In this interactive presentation, members of Assiniboine Community College’s (ACC) Learning Commons share the value of designing and developing creative evaluations which maintain academic integrity in the evaluation process and align to college standards. With omnipresent concerns about academic misconduct spanning higher education, course and assessment design remain a way to prevent and reduce its occurrence through already established pedagogical strategies. The multidisciplinary team of ACC’s Library Manager, Education Quality Assurance Specialist, and Instructional Designer will facilitate an exploration of creative evaluation that can be achieved by using a constellation of approaches. This exploration is based primarily on the works of creative evaluation from Christou et al. (2021) and assessment for inclusion by Tai et al. (2022). Participants will leave with an understanding of what creative evaluations are and look like, and how to move towards designing and developing them at their own institutions.
Fixes that Fit: Systems Thinking in Academic Integrity
Authors: Vogt Lisa , Scurr Cory
Published: July 2024

Academic misconduct is typically recorded on student files to deter cheating and identify repeat offenders, but how often is this data analyzed to find systemic issues? By collecting student data, Prinsloo and Slade (2017) assert that higher education has a duty to act in creating improved student experiences. Teymouri et al. (2022) propose the use of academic misconduct data to identify gaps in student supports, policy education, and assessment design. This session will apply a systems thinking approach to propose that post-secondary institutions can create institutional responses in support of academic integrity based on findings from collected academic misconduct data. Reallocating the intensive energy required to respond to misconduct toward early education and assessment design benefits both staff and students. Literature supporting a systems thinking approach for effective data use will be discussed, as well as examples from practice at Conestoga College. Attendees will gain frameworks for applying systems thinking and ethical data use, as well as the opportunity for questions and further discussion.
AI as Part of the Pedagogy: A Restorative Justice Approach
Authors: Pawlychka Colleen
Published: July 2024

Concerns around academic integrity (AI) are a national and international focus, as academic misconduct incidents have increased in recent years. Most institutions have committees, departments and policies dedicated to addressing AI, and increasingly recognize the punitive approach as ineffective and counter-productive. Accordingly, many institutions have transitioned from a punitive and reactive approach to an educational and preventative approach, and various faculty members struggle to develop strategies supporting this approach. Restorative justice provides a strong foundation and framework for this transition.
Dr. Pawlychka will outline the restorative justice philosophy and share innovative and practical strategies for faculty to use in the classroom to increase student responsibility and capacity for AI while strengthening the faculty-student relationship. Her approach to fostering a culture of academic integrity begins at course and curricula development and continues through all aspects of course delivery, in-class discussion, and instructor-student contact. She will share pedagogical methods, based on RJ philosophy, current research, professional experience, and student feedback, that have resulted in decreased academic misconduct incidents, strengthened student commitment to academic integrity, and enhanced enjoyment of both teaching and learning! Strategies presented will include tips for in-class AI discussion, redefining terminology, development of AI handouts and assignments, and restorative approaches when meeting with students. Participants are invited to bring ‘scenarios’ for discussion.
Emotions Affect Every Decision You Make (But That's a Good Thing)
Authors: Young Stephanie
Published: July 2024

In Western societies, adjudication has long been said to involve the crucial task of putting one’s emotions aside. This so-called dispassionate approach is assumed to result in impartial decision-making vis-à-vis the provision of natural justice and procedural fairness. However, recent research findings on emotions and decision-making do not accord with this assumption. Overall, this body of research, which has grown exponentially over the past 30 years, suggests that emotions cannot be sifted out from decision-making processes. Thankfully, this research also supports the argument that human emotion is a precondition for enacting justice.
There are multiple ways that specific emotions can ultimately influence judgment and cognitive strategies can be used to ensure that emotions are leveraged for good (i.e., outcomes in the students’ best interest). Post-secondary institutions have an ethical obligation to support adjudicators in carrying out this emotional work, and the first step is ensuring that adjudicators have comprehensive training on the findings of decision-making research. This professional development session will foster a discussion around this research and, more specifically, focus on strategies for guiding the effects of one’s emotions within the adjudication context.

Authors: Leithead Cedar , Lin Amy , Go Naomi , Visutskie Kasha , Foxe John Paul , Miller Allyson
Published: July 2024

The sudden pivot to remote teaching in March 2020 highlighted new and emerging threats to academic integrity. While much of the world has returned to in-person delivery, in the classroom, remote teaching, and these associated threats to academic integrity, are here to stay. With the assistance of a Virtual Learning Strategy grant from eCampus Ontario, Seneca College and Toronto Metropolitan University have developed new gamified academic integrity modules for students designed to promote academic integrity in a virtual environment. The modules have been designed such that they apply to both college and university students and the code for the game is freely available under a Creative Commons License. In this presentation presenters will speak to how these modules were created as well provide a demonstration for all participants. By the end of this presentation attendees will be able to apply and adapt this resource to their own institution.
So it Happened… What Now?
Authors: Jordaan Francois , Gervais Loie , Dumontet Monique
Published: July 2024

Academic integrity and academic misconduct are issues that affect all post-secondary institutions, and the University of Manitoba has seen a rising number of cases (Annual Report of the University Discipline Committee, 2021). Furthermore, there has been a call (Bertram Gallant, 2008; Sopcak & Hood, 2022) for developing and implementing responsive educational approaches in academic misconduct cases at the post-secondary level. These educational approaches move away from quasi-legal and punitive measures, which have been shown to negatively impact the well-being of the involved students (Pitts et al., 2020). Instead, it has been argued that academic misconduct should be addressed as a learning, teaching and skills development concern. In this presentation, we discuss the implementation of a reflection-based course for students involved in cases of academic misconduct.  Completion of this self-directed online course is the preliminary step in educational outcomes for most students involved in academic misconduct at the University of Manitoba. We chart the shift in this educational outcome from a quiz-based tutorial to a multi-module -reflection-based approach.  We will discuss the rational and practical implications of the “Reflections on Academic Integrity (RAI)” course.   We will argue that the RAI course actively and consciously moves away from the stigmatization associated with academic misconduct towards framing the student’s experiences as a learning outcome that sets the foundation for a return to successful studies.
It Takes a Village

Published: July 2024

Members of the Alberta Council on Academic Integrity (ACAI) Contract Cheating Working Group will discuss how the collective, multi-institutional nature of their work has helped to provide practical interventions for contract cheating (Clarke & Lancaster, 2006), addressing in particular this mode of misconduct's multilateral and predatory nature. Student academic misconduct in post-secondary education and research has predominantly been understood to be perpetrated by individuals undertaking unilateral action (Eaton et al., 2019). We can observe this, for example, in how motives for academic misconduct tend to be studied in psychological, sociological, or criminological terms (e.g. Rundle et al., 2019) while the ‘supply side’ (Medway et al., 2018) and structured nature (Grue et al., 2021) of contract cheating requires more exploration. Contract cheating undermines the expectation of unilateral action by virtue of its multilateral (i.e. contractual) nature, involving networks of suppliers and consumers, thereby complicating the relationship between the perpetrator and the act of misconduct and frustrating efforts to make meaningful interventions. Addressing contract cheating takes a village. Through the lens of diversified roles and from the perspectives of multiple post-secondary institutions, panel members will discuss how to engage contract cheating collectively, provide specific and concrete projects they have collaboratively undertaken to address contract cheating issues – including videos and other digital resources – and discuss recent, instructive contract cheating cases. Participants will have access to situated insights, experiences, and resources to take away and use as-is or adapt to their own needs.

Published: July 2024

In contemporary office environments, effective resource management and access control are essential for maintaining security and optimizing productivity. Traditional methods of resource management and access control, such as manual logging and key- based systems, are often cumbersome, prone to errors, and lack real-time monitoring capabilities. In this paper, we propose a Face Recognition-Based Office Resource Controlling (FROC) system that leverages the capabilities of facial recognition technology to automate resource management and access control processes. The FROC system utilizes advanced deep learning algorithms to accurately identify individuals based on facial biometrics, granting or restricting access to office resources accordingly. By integrating facial recognition technology with centralized resource management software, the FROC system enables seamless and efficient control over office facilities, equipment, and confidential information. Additionally, the system offers real-time monitoring and logging of resource usage, enhancing security and accountability within the office environment. Through a combination of hardware components, including surveillance cameras and access control devices, and software modules for facial recognition and resource tracking, the FROC system provides a comprehensive solution for modern office resource management. We evaluate the performance and effectiveness of the FROC system through extensive testing in simulated office environments, demonstrating its potential to streamline operations, improve security, and optimize resource utilizationin office settings.

Administrative and Economic Systems of the Mughal Empire: A Historical Analysis of Governance and Revenue Policies
Authors: Roshangar Mohammad Zia , Akbari Mohammad Reza , Samimi Shirali
Published: July 2024

The Mughal Dynasty commenced in 1526, led by the esteemed Babur, who is renowned as the pioneer and founder of Indian civilization through the process of unification. Due to its vast territorial reach from Kabul to Bengal, with natural boundaries such as the Arabian Sea and Himalayas, this dynasty was able to establish sophisticated formal institutions that surpassed those of other empires worldwide at that time. This study examines the complex governance system of The Mughal Empire, with a focus on the reigns of Babur, Humayun, Akbar, and Aurangzeb. Abul-Fazl Ibn Mubarak, a prominent historian during Akbar's reign, elucidated the Mughals' adoption of the dual strategies of 'JahanBani' (state maintenance) and 'Jahangiri' (imperial expansion). The article also examines Akbar's reforms in land revenue systems, which aimed to provide uniformity and economic stability in order to sustain the Empire's prosperity. The inclusion of women in the Mughal court is examined to highlight their cultural, political, and social achievements. This examination thoroughly explores the functioning of the Mughal administration and how it effectively maintained the empire's supremacy.

Published: July 2024

This study investigates the trend of Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) among students at UIN SUSKA Riau. FOMO, defined as the anxiety that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent, is increasingly common in the digital era, especially among university students who are frequent social media users. The research aims to explore the prevalence and effects of FOMO on students' academic performance, mental health, and social interactions. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, with data gathered from online surveys and in-depth interviews involving 300 students across various faculties. The results indicate that a significant portion of students experience moderate to high levels of FOMO, which is strongly associated with intensive social media usage. Students reported that FOMO adversely impacts their focus and academic performance, leading to procrastination and heightened stress levels. Furthermore, FOMO contributes to feelings of inadequacy and anxiety, as students often compare their lives to the idealized representations they encounter online. The study underscores the necessity for awareness and intervention programs to aid students in managing their social media usage and alleviating the negative impacts of FOMO. Addressing these concerns can help UIN SUSKA Riau cultivate a healthier and more supportive academic environment. This research adds to the growing body of literature on digital well-being and student mental health, highlighting the importance of balanced social media engagement.

Psychosocial Approach to the Effect of Stress on Performance in the Workplace
Authors: Bennamate Safa , Bouazzaoui Ahmed El
Published: July 2024

Our study aimed to investigate the effect of the interaction between stress perception and its intensity on performance in a professional context. We conducted a series of analyses to determine whether the way individuals perceive stress or the level of stress intensity plays a predominant role in determining workplace performance. Following the study results, we did not observe an interaction between stress perception and its intensity. However, participants who perceived stress as a challenge to overcome displayed higher levels of performance, while those who viewed stress as a threat to avoid had significantly lower performance levels, regardless of the perceived stress intensity. This observation underscores the significance of how individuals interpret stressful situations in the workplace. These findings have significant implications for managers, employees, and human resources professionals. They suggest that stress management in the workplace should focus on promoting a positive perception of stress as a challenge, which could enhance optimal performance. Ultimately, our study contributes to shedding light on the intricate relationship between stress perception, its intensity, and workplace performance, highlighting the potential of a positive stress perception to improve professional outcomes.

Published: July 2024

Pyrotechnic materials are a category of materials that are often used in various applications, including military activities, lighting, signaling, and combat effects. In this study, an experiment was conducted to create a light pyrotechnic material using gunpowder, which is a mixture of potassium nitrate, sulfur, and activated carbon. The manufacturing process involved the activation of carbon from fly ash bottom ash (FABA) waste and the composition of different pyrotechnic materials. The experiment involved testing pyrotechnic compositions with varying ratios of KNO3 : carbon : sulfur. The results showed that the composition with a ratio of 15 : 7.5 : 7.5 produced the highest light intensity, reaching 104 lux, and provided optimal visual effects. In addition, the relative proportions of oxidizer, carbon and sulfur affected the type of pyrotechnic effect produced. Pyrotechnic light generation from gunpowder could be considered successful, and the best composition for spectacular visual effects was a ratio of 15 : 7.5 : 7.5. However, sufficient caution and knowledge were required in the use of pyrotechnic materials to ensure safety and compliance with applicable regulations.
Temperature-influenced Bulk Emulsion (BE) Demulsification Method as a PIBSA-MEA Emulsifier Durability Test in Blasting Environments under 100 °C

This research attempts to provide a better method, examine more effective temperatures for testing emulsifiers, and determine the demulsification limit that indicates emulsifier durability. This experiment was conducted by varying the temperature (40, 60, 80, and 100 °C) for heating the product with a test time of 1, 2, 4, and 6 h, then detected using formaldehyde titration to determine the highest level of demulsification of ammonium nitrate (AN) salt at each temperature in the product. The results showed that 100 °C was the most effective and representative temperature for testing the durability of the emulsifier with the highest level of demulsification from the other temperatures. This was indicated by the weight of AN salt that came out of the emulsion reaching 2.05 g from 20 g of emulsion or about 10.25% of the total weight of the product within 6 h. Emulsifiers with AN levels below 2.05 g (10.25%) were considered to pass the test and could be used for further production or analysis. This new test method was expected that bulk emulsion manufacturers would be faster in eliminating PIBSA-base (Polyisobutylene succinic anhydride-base) emulsifier products widely used by emulsifier manufacturers in manufacturing BE. This was due to it only focusing on the ability of emulsifiers to hold the product in high-temperature exposure so that it remained unified and not demulsified.

In defense industry, α-cellulose is the main component of nitrocellulose propellant. However, a detailed description of the reaction mechanism of each treatment step in SNI 0444-2009 is still very scarce. This study addresses this gap by presenting the reaction mechanisms of each treatment and the symbols used in the SNI 0444-2009 procedure. The separation of lignin from α-cellulose occurred by breaking the C‒O bond linking them. This bond was broken by the ‒OH group of NaOH via a hydrolysis reaction. The reaction was initiated with the elimination of a hydrogen atom from the lignin structure by the hydroxyl ion (‒OH), and the C‒O bond was broken by a hydrolysis reaction. The breaking of this bond was indicated by the disappearance of the IR peaks at wavenumbers 1049 and 1190 cm–1 in the filtrate after extraction. The SNI 0444-2009 method for the α-cellulose content test was carried out by a redox back titration of Cr(VI) with Fe(II) from ferrous ammonium sulfate. This titration was conducted to calculate the amount of Cr(VI) ions in potassium dichromate or Cr(VI) that did not react with lignin or beta cellulose in the filtrate. Understanding the contribution and reaction mechanisms of each compound involved in the SNI 0444-2009 procedure contributed to obtaining accurate data on α-cellulose content. In this study, the calculated α-cellulose content of the flax fiber was 96.75%. Furthermore, the detailed mechanism of the redox reaction was discussed in detail in this paper.

La formación docente en temas de discapacidad y, particularmente, en discapacidad visual ha demostrado ser insuficiente. Los estudiantes con discapacidad visual enfrentan desafíos de accesibilidad que suelen ser difíciles de conllevar desde la práctica educativa. El objetivo principal del trabajo es explorar la autopercepción que tienen los docentes sobre sus propias competencias en la atención a educandos con discapacidad visual. La recolección de datos se realizó a través del método cuantitativo, con un grupo de docentes en escenarios de talleres presenciales y actividades virtuales. Los resultados destacan la necesidad de capacitación docente en la atención a estudiantes con discapacidad visual, subrayando que con formación adecuada, adaptaciones curriculares y uso herramientas de comunicación alternativa y tecnología asistida, se puede garantizar una educación inclusiva y equitativa.
Gerencia pentecostal. Una visión filosofo-teológica
Authors: Ereu Oropeza Gilberto Jose
Published: July 2024

La filosofía es concebida como el amor a la sabiduría y la teología el tratado sobre Dios, ambas son referencias para este estudio cuyo propósito es generar la teoría sustantiva que represente la gerencia desde el pensamiento pentecostal en el contexto organizacional de las Asambleas de Dios de Venezuela hacia la visión filósofo teológica. Para eso asumí el paradigma interpretativo (Karr y Kemmis, 1988) con enfoque cualitativo, como corriente de pensamiento el Interaccionismo simbólico (Hebert Blúmer, 1962), el método fue la teoría fundamentada (Strauss y Corbin, 2002) y diseño emergente. Los informantes clave fueron 10 ministros de culto de las Asambleas de Dios de Venezuela. Las técnicas fueron la observación y entrevista en profundidad, y para la interpretación de la información recurrí a los procedimientos característicos del método (codificación abierta, axial y selectiva, triangulación, contrastación y teorización). Entre los hilos conductores teóricos de la gerencia están Drucker (2002 y 1992) así como Calderón (1989); mientras en el pentecostalismo estuvo Bruce(1990). La teoría generada la denominé La gerencia pentecostal como experiencia filósofo-teológica en organizaciones con sistemas integrados espiritualmente, sus dimensiones son la filosofía y la teología. Recomiendo la lectura de esta teoría a los gerentes cristianos evangélicos.
Organizaciones desde la metáfora instrumento de dominación de Morgan en el talento humano. Caso: fábrica para procesamiento de Sábila de Venezuela (Sabilven S.A)
Authors: Medina Medina Angelica Alejandra Maria
Published: July 2024

Este artículo, tiene como objetivo evidenciar como las organizaciones pueden llegar a ser instrumento de dominación del talento humano. Esto se ha visto, considerando que a nivel gerencial ha sido público y notorio, que muchos gerentes no vean al talento humano como el recurso más valioso de la organización, sino como la persona que debe realizar una serie de tareas para el cumplimiento de los objetivos y metas de la organización. Esta situación ocurre muchas veces, sin tener en cuenta que ese talento humano es un ser integral que no puede separar su vida laboral y profesional de la personal; que es un ser que siente, padece y necesita de la organización donde labora. Esto se entiende porque no se desliga de su condición de ser humano a la de empleado. Con lo presentado en este artículo, se busca fomentar una gerencia humanista, donde las organizaciones y los gerentes que hacen vida en ellas, puedan estar comprometidos con sus colaboradores.

Published: July 2024

Esta investigación analiza la interacción entre los profesionales de enfermería y los pacientes en estado grave o terminal. El objetivo del estudio es evaluar el desempeño de los internos de enfermería mediante un enfoque de competencias laborales y la integración de valores con relación a los pacientes críticamente enfermos, por parte de los estudiantes del internado rotativo de enfermería de una universidad privada en Quito, Ecuador. El enfoque metodológico empleado es de tipo cuali-cuantitativo, transversal el cual presenta un universo de 65 participantes de los cuales 50 internos de enfermería y 15 docentes y tutores clínicos hospitalarios, obteniendo una muestra de 40 estudiantes y solo 10 tutores y docentes clínicos. Esta investigación se basa en el uso sistemático de métodos empíricos y teóricos, incluyendo en su metodología el análisis documental, datos estadísticos, entrevistas y encuestas, así como revisiones bibliográficas y publicaciones científicas. La información recolectada se analizó y se presentó en cuestionarios y tablas con los resultados. Los resultados mostraron que los valores de respeto a la dignidad humana, la no maleficencia, la solidaridad y la confidencialidad fueron los más identificados por los enfermeros, representan el 82.5%. Las principales dificultades de asimilación, evidenciadas mediante el cuestionario, fueron la honestidad (27.5%) y la veracidad, justicia y equidad (32.5%). Se concluye que el impacto de las nuevas tecnologías en la relación enfermero-paciente debe equilibrarse con la integración de valores, profesionalidad y tecnologías para humanizar el trabajo.
INTERNATIONAL LEGAL QuALIFICATION OF THE CONFLICT IN DONBASS FROM MARCH 2014 TO FEBRuARy 21, 2022
Authors: Nikonorova Natalia Yu.
Published: July 2024

This article is devoted to the legal analysis of the qualification of the armed conflict in the Donbass in the period from March 2014 to February 21, 2022, which is decisive for establishing the legal consequences entitled by this particular form of armed conflict. In order to establish the most objective legal assessment of this conflict, the positions of representatives of the Western and Ukrainian doctrines of international law are considered, as well as an analysis of historical facts and documents of international organizations. A study of Ukrainian and Western scientific sources showed the similarity of the positions of their authors in attempts to qualify armed conflict that took place in Donbass in the appointed time period, as international or as internationalized. At the same time, references either to propaganda editions, or to advertising and unproven events serve as an argument for such statements. At the same time, an analysis of the objective circumstances and the most authoritative documents of international organizations only casts doubt on the consistency of the material that those authors describe, but also casts to make completely different conclusions. Considering the approval of the Set of Measures for the Implementation of the Minsk Agreements by the UN Security Council, and also drawing the attention to the facts, it becomes obvious the non-international nature of the conflict in Donbass.
Spectral Energy Distribution of Late Stage Stars
Authors: Tatarnikov A. M. , Zheltoukhov S. G. , Malik E. D.
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a catalog of the energy distribution in the spectra of 263 stars in the wavelength range
0.4 - 100 µm, which are at late stages of evolution and have been observed by the ISO space observatory.
For each object in the catalog, estimates of the observed bolometric fluxes are derived from smoothed energy
distribution curves. The catalog is available at https://infra.sai.msu.ru/sai_lss_sed both as a table and in
machine-readable format. It is shown that for the specified sample of objects their ISO SWS spectra in
the range 2.4 - 45 µm only in 60% of cases correspond to the general shape of the continuum, and can be
used without recalibration. A selection of carbon stars accessible to infrared observations from the MSU
observatories was made. For some of them, the first brightness estimates in the K, L, and M bands were
obtained with the new IR camera of the 2.5-m telescope of CMO.
