Remediation: Understanding Academic Integrity
Creators: name: Chaudhuri, Anita
Publisher: name: Canadian Perspectives on Academic Integrity
Year: 2021

description: Recent data on academic misconduct shared by some Canadian post-secondary institutions have reported that the numbers have doubled (CBC News, 2020; CTV News Regina, 2021) or increased significantly by up to 38% (UCalgary News, 2020). These instances establish academic integrity as a current and critically important topic for institutions as well as the scholarship of teaching and learning. Discussions in this ethical area of concern focus on ways to convince students “to behave as honest and responsible members of an academic community” (UBC, Academic Honesty and Standards) during an emergency situation (such as, the pandemic) and avoid disciplinary action. Researchers in academic integrity have noted that it is essential that students are given ample opportunities to understand the concept. In this presentation, we, two undergraduate students and an instructor: (i) share some of the ways in which teaching and learning practices changed in an online composition studies classroom; (ii) discuss how these changes addressed the expectations of academic integrity; and (iii) showcase an example from a university-wide contest on academic integrity as an opportunity to remediate personal understanding of the topic and contribute towards a community service initiative.

Resolving the Ambiguous Expectations of Academic Integrity
Creators: name: Bens, Susan
Publisher: name: Canadian Perspectives on Academic Integrity
Year: 2021

description: Students encounter wide-ranging teaching and learning contexts and approaches in Canadian post secondary institutions. As a result, they receive and perceive mixed messages when it comes to academic integrity. The purpose of this session is to remind us, as educators/ scholars/researchers what it is like to be the “novice” in our disciplines and fields. The presenter calls for more explicit and contextual teaching of the norms and skills required for academic integrity. This will lead to discussion of (1) what should be done at the program level to explain and educate students on ethical academic and professional practices; and (2) the value and the limits of awareness campaigns and standardized syllabus statements. The session foreshadows a chapter in a forthcoming edited book about academic integrity in Canada and fits with “best practices and emerging ideas in academic integrity policy development.”

description: This protocol describes the estimation of the societal costs and quality-of-life (QOL) burden of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Lebanon. This cross-sectional, prevalence-based burden-of-illness study was carried out in a premier MS center in Lebanon. We enrolled Lebanese patients aged 18 years and older who had been diagnosed with MS more than 6 months. The study uses a bottom-up approach to estimate the cost-of-illness (COI) and QOL using a retrospective face-to-face interview questionnaire. This resource utilization questionnaire was adapted to the Lebanese context by clinical and health economics experts. The methodologies used to estimate the consumption of healthcare resources, informal care, and productivity losses are well-defined and aligned with the Lebanese healthcare system. Costs are presented overall and by MS severity levels. QOL is measured using the EuroQOL (EQ-5D-5 L) and Multiple Sclerosis International Quality of Life (MusiQoL) instrument. This protocol pioneers in informing the design of future COI and QOL studies in low – and middle-income countries (LMICs), as the methods used could be applied in similar LMICs. Furthermore, we provide recommendations and discuss the challenges of conducting a high-quality burden-of-illness study in LMICs and the steps taken to meet them, using the case of Lebanon.

description: The residential sector consumes a significant amount of energy globally, with the majority being produced through the use of fossil fuels. Residential microgeneration technologies, such as photovoltaic systems and micro wind turbines for electricity production, and solar thermal systems, biomass boilers, and heat pumps for thermal needs, offer an alternative for reducing fossil fuel consumption. In this respect, the present study aims to examine the determinants of market acceptance of residential ground source heat pump systems in Greece, through a comparison between potential adopters, and potential non-adopters of the system. Factors taken into account include socio-economic characteristics, dwelling characteristics, spatial characteristics, environmental awareness and behavior, as well as perceptions towards system-related attributes. The collection of data was performed in 2019, through a web-based questionnaire. In total, 451 responses were collected. The statistical analysis, performed through SPSS 20, included a descriptive statistics analysis, a Categorical Principal Component Analysis (CatPCA) to categorize the system-related attributes, and a binary logistic regression –on the basis of the two groups (potential adopters, and potential non-adopters of the system). The system-related attributes seen as the most significant, include functional reliability, system lifetime, and operation & maintenance costs. Based on the CatPCA, the attributes can be categorized into four groups, namely, convenience, market conditions, costs, and performance. The binary logistic regression model indicates that factors affecting market acceptance of residential ground source heat pump systems include socioeconomic characteristics (gender, age, income), and dwelling characteristics [size, and presence of senior residents (i.e,, older than 65 years)]. The present work, offering new empirical findings concerning the determinants of market acceptance of residential ground source heat pump systems, provides information to policymakers and marketers for the design of tailored actions that can foster the further market diffusion of these systems.

description: This is part one of a three part invited article series examining the historical evolution of the “ghost writing” industry, a term that is now widely referred to as “contract cheating.” This article describes the commercial trade in academic work starting in the 1930s through the term paper mills’ heyday of the mid-1970s. The 1960 investigative reporting of Alex Benson of the New York World-Telegram and The Sun, receives close attention, as does the field of competing firms active at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1972. The article concludes with a series of questions to help provoke reflection. These questions can be used as discussion topics in courses with students or within professional development opportunities for educators and practitioners.

description: Identifying factors associated with transitioning from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia due to Alzheimer’s disease (AD dementia) or dementia due to any cause (all-cause dementia) may inform economic assessments of disease and early care planning. A multivariate logistic regression approach identified potential predictors of progression to AD dementia or all-cause dementia in individuals with MCI or cognitive impairment (CI). Eligible patients and variables of interest were identified using claims data from the Medicare Advantage Patient Database, by Optum. Predictors of an AD dementia diagnosis included age (odds ratio [OR], 1.71) and use of antipsychotics (OR, 2.50) and hypertension medication (OR, 1.25). Medication use for comorbid conditions was a better indicator of risk than comorbidity coding. Diagnosis of CI by a neurologist increased the odds of an AD dementia diagnosis. Possible protective factors for progression included the use of anxiolytics (OR, 0.76), inpatient status at time of diagnosis (OR, 0.49), and a history of stroke (OR, 0.87). None of these factors differentiated AD dementia from all-cause dementia. Identifying patients at risk for AD dementia allows for improved system-level planning to guide policy and optimize economic and clinical outcomes for patients, caregivers, and society.

description: The rapid and accelerated shift to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic has heightened parallel conversations about student well-being and academic integrity in higher education. On one hand, post-secondary students have been under increased pressure to succeed in stressful learning and societal environments. On the other hand, reports of student academic misconduct have increased throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. There is an urgent need to consider the intersecting relationship between mental well-being and academic integrity to foster supportive, learner-focused, and caring higher education environments. In this session, we will open a conversation about this widely unexplored relationship. We will present the findings of a rapid review wherein we investigated how the academic integrity literature had taken up mental well-being. We will address ways that student well-being should be considering in academic integrity research and practice, such as the need to care for student well-being during academic misconduct incidents. Participants will leave this session with lessons that will be applicable during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and beyond.

description: Using principles of restorative justice and best practices, we developed a new administrative model for misconduct procedures, with some significant success in reducing recidivism and increasing awareness amongst faculty and students. Key aspects included low barriers for instructors to report issues and semi-scripted student interviews for each offense. Though this 'high touch' model may not be fully scalable to all academic units, the interviewing process was particularly effective at identifying issues with student well being and academic struggles, allowing us to put students in touch with additional resources. We were also able to identify issues with instructions to students on exams and mistakes by instructors, which we used to inform faculty and prevent possible future harm to students. For these reasons, we advocate for a high touch approach to misconduct at an early stage of reporting.

Restorative Practices as a Tool to Affect Peer Influence on Academic Integrity and Misconduct
Creators: name: Sopcak, Paul
name: Stewart, Alycia
Publisher: name: Canadian Perspectives on Academic Integrity
Year: 2021

description: Integrity is often related to acting ethically based on intrinsic motivation, rather than external controls. The disconcerting spike in misconduct cases in the pandemic-related, uninvigilated, remote learning environments has made it clear how far away from promoting integrity and its fundamental values (ICAI, 2021) over mere rule compliance we really are. Further, research routinely finds peer influence to be one of the most important factors affecting academic misconduct. Restorative Practices (RP), when applied not only in response to misconduct, but also as an educational and proactive community building tool, have been shown to be an effective way of preventing misconduct by fostering a sense of trust and community. They have further been found to empower marginalized individuals and communities, pursue and demonstrate fairness, as well as foster empathy, compassion, and accountability. Moreover, RP provide a process that enables student engagement and thus an opportunity to engage in peer-to-peer interaction on the topic of academic integrity and misconduct. In our presentation, we will provide a brief introduction to the principles of RP, followed by a discussion of their application to academic integrity and misconduct at MacEwan University, with a particular focus on student engagement and peer to peer interaction.

description: Economic burden of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is recognized. Few studies have documented such burden in adults stratified by age, risk status, and by care setting. Spanish data available is scarce. A retrospective, multicenter study in seven regions of Spain (2017–2019) was conducted. Patients ≥18 years with a primary all-cause CAP episode diagnosis were identified. Episode-level variables included risk-stratum based on presence of an immunocompromising/chronic condition, age, number and length of hospitalized and outpatient episodes, and CAP-related healthcare costs/sick leaves were included. 7,108 episodes [mean age (SD): 59.2 (19.6), 50.42% male, 31.0% hospitalized] were analyzed. Low-risk group accounted for 47.7% of all CAP episodes, 31.5% moderate-risk and 20.8% high-risk. Pneumococcus was identified in 42.2% of cases. Mean CAP episode length was 22.9 days for hospitalized and 13.7 days for outpatient episode. Total healthcare cost for episode was higher in inpatient vs. outpatient: €3,955 vs. €511, p < 0.001, with higher sick leave cost (€3,281 vs. €2,632, p < 0.001), respectively. CAP required hospitalization cost is high regardless of age or comorbidities for the Spanish NHS. Given that almost half of the patients in this study did not have traditional risk factors for CAP, better preventative strategies should seriously be considered.

description: In this session, we will share some of the results of my experience with remote teaching and academic misconduct in my 200 seat, Introduction to Canadian Criminal Justice System class, which ran from May to Aug 2020 in the School of Criminology at Simon Fraser University. In June 2020, I learned quite by chance, that 41 of 200 students cheated on their midterm celebration of learning (ironically it was on the bonus question worth 1 of 90 marks - they looked up the due date of the quiz on academic integrity). After considerable thought, I decided to use course concepts and applied a restorative justice approach in my response and invited students to reach out and take responsibility. The student response was surprisingly encouraging, and I realized I needed to understand what happened more formally. Accordingly, we developed a study to examine student experiences with my response, how it affected their learning and understanding of course concepts and materials, and their feelings about academic integrity in online courses, especially during a global pandemic. My research assistant, Zana Nicolaou, and I will present findings from the 41 survey responses and 5 interviews that examined these questions. Then we will engage in conversation about how we can shift from conversations about academic misconduct to strategies that help us build a culture of academic integrity.

description: Thanks to a lot of criticism, TurnItIn has changed a lot of its settings recently that comply with privacy legislation. In this session, a former academic librarian turned business professor will show and discuss why TurnItIn is a useful tool for avoiding plagiarism. By having the students generate their Similarity Reports themselves, and as many times as they want, faculty are providing a new opportunity to students to self-identify mistaken plagiarism. This proactive, student-driven focus is proving especially helpful for international students who are still new to the Western ideas of plagiarism, sharing credit, and copying works. Furthermore, students themselves are self-reporting to faculty that they feel less pressure to cheat because there is more opportunity for early feedback on their writing at times outside the regular Writing Centre and Library service hours. This presentation includes a copy of the assessment package for Business Case Analyses used by CapU faculty that incorporates the use of TurnItIn to maximize student success and minimize challenges with academic integrity.

description: To translate and linguistically validate the Assessment of Quality of Life 8-dimensions (AQoL-8D) for use in the Netherlands and to compare the psychometric properties of AQoL-8D with the EuroQol 5-dimensions 5-levels (EQ-5D-5L) in two patient samples. AQoL-8D was translated from English into Dutch. The translated AQoL-8D was then administered alongside the EQ-5D-5L at baseline and follow-up of two Dutch randomized controlled trials among patients with epilepsy and schizophrenia. These data were subjected to a post-hoc analysis assessing the psychometric properties of AQol-8D vis-à-vis EQ-5D-5L in terms of known-groups construct validity, responsiveness, and floor/ceiling effects. In total, 103 epilepsy patients and 99 schizophrenia patients were included in this study. In both datasets, the two instruments discriminated between known-groups, but in schizophrenia, AQoL-8D showed higher responsiveness than EQ-5D-5L, while both instruments showed equal responsiveness in epilepsy. Ceiling effects were only found for EQ-5D-5L in both epilepsy (26.6%) and schizophrenia (6.1%). Our results have shown that, among other things, AQoL-8D presents better ability to discriminate between known-groups and shows no ceiling effect. Based on our results, we would recommend the use of AQoL-8D in addition to EQ-5D-5L in trials assessing patient’s quality of life in patients with epilepsy or schizophrenia.

As a result, this use by young generation might not be with media and information literacy to develop active citizen in this new world. Therefore, Social studies teachers play important roles and need to equip with knowledge, skills and attitude towards media and information literacy in order to apply this in Social Studies class. To do so, there are 4 steps: 1. searching for problems in Social Studies 2. observing the problems in Social Studies 3. analyzing and presenting examples of Social Studies media, and 4.creating Social Studies content and media. In each step, the teachers should encourage learners to safely select the media that is useful to their future effectively.

description: The ongoing pandemic has presented unique challenges to our post-secondary learning communities, structures, pedagogies, and processes in Canada and around the world. An abrupt pivot to an all online learning environment created stressors that threatened the quality of educational offerings and the ability to cultivate and preserve cultures of academic integrity. The demands of the pandemic compelled members of the learning community to consider the many intersecting threats to teaching and learning efforts that went far beyond our abilities to incorporate technology across our educational settings. The psychosocial and emotional aspects of learning combined with the biological threat of COVID-19 created circumstances that jeopardized cultures of academic integrity and deeply affected all members of the learning community. In an effort to meet the many challenges associated with the dramatic and necessary changes to post-secondary education and continue to commit to the delivery of quality educational programming, the Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness (FHSW) Academic Integrity Council at one college, stepped back to strategically plan efforts across the FHSW learning community, that would support academic integrity efforts during the continued pandemic. A framework developed by the co-chairs of the FHSW Academic Integrity Council served to ground the efforts of council members to create a plan to continue the building and strengthening of an academic integrity culture. This presentation will describe and discuss the framework, outline the strategic planning process adopted by the council, and outline plans for moving forward with future work across the FHSW in our efforts to strengthen academic integrity across our learning environments.

Perceptions and Experiences of Academic Integrity and Group Work in Post-Graduate Management Courses: Strategies and Risks
Creators: name: Kader, Mo
Publisher: name: Canadian Perspectives on Academic Integrity
Year: 2021

description: Student perceptions of group assignments indicate that there are lower levels of plagiarism or contract cheating in these assessments given the collective nature of the work, while individual assignments, particularly reports, are perceived as easier to cheat in. This paper examines the perceptions and the experiences of post-graduate management students and teaching staff in the level, type and source of plagiarism as it relates to group versus individual assignments. It compares the views of the academic literature on plagiarism with the student’s own perceptions and with the tendency to cheat in different forms of group and individual assessment. It further presents strategies for the mitigation of academic plagiarism and evaluates the risks arising from over-dependence on group assessments in an attempt to minimise plagiarism. Practical implications as well as theoretical concepts are addressed that may help develop effective strategies to address academic plagiarism.

Year: 2025
Subjects: classificationCode: 40

description: BackgroundTriple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is a subtype of breast cancer that is clinically characterized by the absence of estrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). TNBC is a heterogeneous disease with distinct molecular profile, aggressive nature, poor prognosis and lack of targeted therapies. Recent studies demonstrate that TNBC may be a cancer testis antigen (CTA)- rich tumor, raising the possibility of CTA-based immunotherapy and cancer vaccines as a potential therapeutic approach for patients with TNBC. The focus of this study was to investigate the expression of preferentially expressed antigen of melanoma (PRAME), one member of the CTA family, in TNBC and non-TNBC cell lines in order to select appropriate cell lines to enable future research into functional role of PRAME in the progression of TNBC. MethodsFive TNBC cell lines (MDA-MB-231, MDA-MB-468, MDA-MB-453, HCC70 and BT549) along with one non-TNBC cell line (MCF7) were used to investigate the expression of PRAME using qPCR, western blot and immunofluorescence techniques. ResultsPRAME expression was detected in 2 out of 5 TNBC cell lines (HCC70 and BT549), both represents different molecular TNBC subtypes. Higher expression of PRAME was detected in HCC70 compared to BT549. ConclusionAt the end, our study showed that PRAME expression isn't specific to TNBC tumors overall or to TNBC molecular subtypes.

description: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an inflammatory lung disease characterized by long-term breathing problems and airflow limitations. International guidelines recommend using bronchodilators like long-acting beta- and muscarinic antagonists, and inhalational corticosteroids. The cost-effectiveness of single-inhaler triple therapy containing fluticasone furoate/umeclidinium/vilanterol (FF/UMEC/VI) was compared to the treatments Fluticasone Furoate/Vilanterol (FF/VI), Umeclidinio/Vilanterol (UMEC/VI) and Fluticasone Propionate 250 mcg/Salmeterol 25mcg + Tiotropio 18 mcg (FP/SAL/TIO) for patients with COPD from the Chilean public health system perspective. A cost-effectiveness analysis was performed, including a deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analysis over a 25-year time horizon. Two scenarios were assessed to study the effect of a 3%-discount for costs and outcomes on FF/UMEC/VI. The incremental cost-effectiveness (ICER) of FF/UMEC/VI versus FF/VI was $10,076/QALY, being a cost-effective alternative to a threshold of one Gross Domestic Product per capita (GDPpc), while versus FP/SAL/TIO the ICER increased to $50,288/QALY, showing to be a non-cost effective alternative to 1 GDPpc, but at a threshold of 3 GDPpc. FF/UMEC/VI appears to be a cost-effective intervention for treating COPD compared to FF/VI. However, FF/UMEC/VI compared to FP/SAL/TIO showed an ICER above the threshold of 1 GDPpc, but, in comparison with lower price, the ICER was below 3 GDPpc.

description: Through a collaboration between the Teaching and Curriculum Development Centre (TCDC), the Centre for Intercultural Engagement (CIE) and the Academic Integrity and Student Conduct Office, Langara has developed an open access toolkit for educators called “Encouraging Academic Integrity Through a Preventative Framework”. The impetus for developing a toolkit focused on encouraging academic integrity came from increasing requests for support in addressing the challenges of academic misconduct at our institution. This toolkit was developed to provide instructors with methods and examples of activities and assessments that can help students meet academic standards and expectations. This document is divided into four parts: we start with an exploration of the principles of academic integrity as defined by the International Centre for Academic Integrity, and then move on to examine the complexity in expression and perception of academic integrity using a model we call the complexity quadrant. With this model in mind, we discuss strategies for fostering integrity and preventing contraventions of academic integrity standards through the use of different assessment design practices. We propose to present the sections of the toolkit, focusing on the complexity quadrant, using an interactive discussion approach. By the end of the presentation, participants will be able to: • Use the complexity quadrant to reframe conversations around academic integrity • Describe assessment design practices that encourage academic integrity The e-book is available for free through BC Campus Pressbooks Open Education Resources.

description: In the Spring 2021 semester, Langara College held a student contest inspired by a project created by a Dalhousie instructor, asking students to create fun, creative memes discussing the importance of academic integrity. The contest ran for two weeks, after which finalists were shortlisted and posted to the Langara College Instagram for the winners to be voted on by the College community. Starting with an introduction to the Academic Integrity Campaign and its goals, the presenters would discuss the goals of the contest and the contest outcomes, including the community interaction with the social media posts. Lastly, they would expand on the future goals of the contests and the campaign itself.

Practice makes perfect (or close enough): Teaching paraphrasing in an undergraduate lab
Creators: name: Donner, Tyler
Publisher: name: Canadian Perspectives on Academic Integrity
Year: 2021

description: During my time as a lab coordinator for labs of five different undergraduate courses, I have tried many different strategies to reduce incidents of plagiarism in student work. Following a large number of cases (> 50) in the first semester of online lab instruction, I dedicated an entire week of lab activities to teaching and discussing plagiarism, paraphrasing, and citation. In three lab courses at different levels of the undergraduate program, I saw a major reduction in the number of cases of plagiarism detected. In this session, I will share the activity, facilitate discussion about activities that others have implemented in their courses, and discuss how to adapt this activity to other subject areas.

Moving the Spotlight from Plagiarism to Academic Integrity in Paraphrasing Instruction
Creators: name: Rossi, Silvia Luisa
Publisher: name: Canadian Perspectives on Academic Integrity
Year: 2021

description: For higher education students completing research-based assignments, paraphrasing is an essential skill. While instructors often expect students to be reasonably proficient in paraphrasing by the time they finish high school, the reality is that many students arrive at college or university never having experienced explicit instruction in paraphrasing. They have certainly used paraphrasing in their previous academic work, but their understanding of this critical skill rarely goes beyond the basic notion that paraphrasing means “saying it in your own words,” and many believe that synonym substitution is paraphrasing. Once students embark on their post-secondary journey, paraphrasing instruction is still rare, but the stakes are immediately higher. Through dire warnings on course outlines and in assignment instructions, students quickly learn to associate paraphrasing with plagiarism, and the resulting fear can prevent them from becoming excited about joining the academic conversation. In the paraphrasing workshops offered by university and college writing centres, practice opportunities may be limited to short, decontextualized transformation activities, which can inadvertently reinforce the common but misguided belief among students that effective source integration is a matter of skimming the first few pages of a source for a useful target sentence to slot into a pre-existing argument. This session will describe how writing specialists at one undergraduate university are shifting their approach to paraphrasing instruction. Practice activities that prioritize contextualization and writer agency are helping students discover the power of paraphrasing. By de-emphasizing plagiarism and instead focusing on the values of academic integrity, this new approach aims to help students view themselves as members of discourse communities - members who have a responsibility to deeply engage with and fairly represent one another’s work.

description: To translate and linguistically validate the Assessment of Quality of Life 8-dimensions (AQoL-8D) for use in the Netherlands and to compare the psychometric properties of AQoL-8D with the EuroQol 5-dimensions 5-levels (EQ-5D-5L) in two patient samples. AQoL-8D was translated from English into Dutch. The translated AQoL-8D was then administered alongside the EQ-5D-5L at baseline and follow-up of two Dutch randomized controlled trials among patients with epilepsy and schizophrenia. These data were subjected to a post-hoc analysis assessing the psychometric properties of AQol-8D vis-à-vis EQ-5D-5L in terms of known-groups construct validity, responsiveness, and floor/ceiling effects. In total, 103 epilepsy patients and 99 schizophrenia patients were included in this study. In both datasets, the two instruments discriminated between known-groups, but in schizophrenia, AQoL-8D showed higher responsiveness than EQ-5D-5L, while both instruments showed equal responsiveness in epilepsy. Ceiling effects were only found for EQ-5D-5L in both epilepsy (26.6%) and schizophrenia (6.1%). Our results have shown that, amongst other things, AQoL-8D presents better ability to discriminate between known-groups and shows no ceiling effect. Based on our results, we would recommend use of AQoL-8D in addition to EQ-5D-5L in trials assessing patient’s quality of life in patients with epilepsy or schizophrenia.

description: Recently, Athabasca University canvassed faculty, tutors, and students about their perspectives on academic integrity. Responses to open-ended questions were received from 102 faculty and tutors and 146 students, generating hundreds of comments. The survey asked how Athabasca University could improve its policies concerning issues of academic integrity, about satisfaction with how academic violations were treated, on the role of faculty and tutors in encouraging academic integrity, and on how faculty and tutors handled cases of misconduct. As well, we collected suggestions from faculty, tutors, and students for reducing cheating, increasing academic integrity, and other ideas about academic integrity in general. Using content analysis, we categorized these open-ended replies into similar threads. Five general recommendation groupings were extracted: policy and procedures, compliance and commitment, resources, plagiarism detection software, and other. The proposed presentation will focus on two sets of recommendations: policy and procedures and plagiarism detection software. We believe that our work meets the criteria for the call for papers because we are learning from our faculty, tutors and students and are interested in sharing their insights. Although we conducted the study pre-COVID-19, we think the recommendations apply now as much as they did then, and will continue to be useful into the future.
