Difficult Issue

The article deals with the difficult issue of plagiarism, self-plagiarism, falsification and other violations of academic integrity in the research papers, which an expert must identify. The objective of the study is to establish the specifics of scientific texts expertize for detecting academic dishonesty. To achieve this goal, we implemented an comprehensive approach, within which qualitative and quantitative methods were applied. The qualitative methods were used to study state regulatory documents, as well as internal regulations and regulations of the best universities of Ukraine in 2020 (according to the rating of the Center for International Projects “Evroostvita”); the reports of universities’ rectors. In the process of analysing, we used free coding of text segments, which can be identified as a guide/advice/specific to check the works for plagiarism. We used the quantitative methods to confirm the hypothesis about exclusive focus of universities on the percentage of originality (coincidences) of texts, as well as to establish a correlation of mentions of “percentage” and “plagiarism” as analysis units. The main result of the study is a number of tips and specifics that are worth exploring by the specialists involved in scientific texts checking in order to detect academic dishonesty.

Nepotism and cronyism are forms of favoritism towards certain people in the workplace. For this reason, they constitute a problem for organization managers, ethicists and psychologists. Identifying the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on the increase of nepotism and cronyism may provide a basis for organizations to assess their extent and to take possible measures to prevent their negative effects.

Kinship care as a formal placement option has been steadily increasing over recent years, particularly in New South Wales. This paper draws on a report of research on kinship care in New South Wales, in which the two authors participated (Mason et al, 2002). In conducting the research, qualitative and quantitative methods were used to explore both ‘top down’ perspectives (from policy documents and statistics) and ‘bottom up’ perspectives (from child protection practitioners and those who experience policy as service recipients – kinship carers, young people in kinship care and parents of children in kinship care).In this paper we briefly outline the research and discuss findings relating to definitions of kinship care, the extent of kinship care in NSW, decision making around the placement of children in kinship care, reasons given by participants for kinship care, and support for carers.

This article is focus on primary efflorescence, specifically lime based, which cannot be completely avoided. Tests involve not only qualitative and quantitative methods but also recommended additional measurement. Because there are not any standard for determination this kind of efflorescence, this set of tests should help for design concrete elements and limited risks of its creation.

Assessment is an integral part of measuring effectiveness of teaching and learning processes. It basically focused on measuring the students’ progress in what they learned. Current study examined the relation between the students’ perceptions towards EFL teachers Classroom Assessment methods and their academic achievements. To this end, descriptive research design with qualitative and quantitative methods of data collections was employed.

Feeding habits of the characin Hollandichthys multifasciatus were investigated. Samplings were made between March 2004 and February 2005 in two black water streams of the coastal Atlantic rainforest in southern Brazil. The diet, evaluated by qualitative and quantitative methods, included aquatic and terrestrial insects, decapods, oligochaetes, plants and spiders. Large individuals feed mainly on plants, terrestrial insects, and spiders, whereas small fish feed basically on plants and oligochaetes. The species showed an omnivorous feeding habit, and its diet was composed of autochthonous (mainly oligochaetes) and allochthonous (plants and terrestrial insects) material.
