Answer
See "How do I edit my research item's details?" in https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293081125777-Reviewing-editing-and-featuring-your-research for instructions. However, there is obviously a mistake in ResearchGate's database of journals. When I type in ISSN 0002-8762 (the ISS Number of the American Historical Review, as given in https://academic.oup.com/ahr), the American Journal of Ophthalmology is displayed. It seems that The American Historical Review is missing in RG. However, I am not sure whether writing to the support team will be helpful. RG's database of journals is compiled not manually, but automatically, see https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14293139566353-Journals. - In case of a missing journal in RG's database, I add the bibliographic data to the abstract field (like, e.g., in https://www.researchgate.net/publication/344474227 and https://www.researchgate.net/publication/268925009).

The 2 theories have epistemologically ("how to get knowledge") Distinct starting points, i underly here epistemological, not methodological i.e on level of phosophy of knowledge
GR considers or tests on hypothesis that the properties of matter and radiation(mostly radiation i.e light) are given i.e constant speed or state equations and describes in details the time space that is the results of these, then motion emerges i.e geodesic etc
QM takes hypothesis that spacetime is given i.e symmetry of Hamiltonian and studies properties of matter or particles (and their motion). Properties of particles are
emergent i.e spin
According to the incompatibility thesis*, the two approaches yield knowledge from different hypotheses. There is no. Middle ground as this would destroy tge knowledge generating process

“1)This ANTI-racist essay rejects both racialism and racial essentialism, beginning with epistemology, physics, chemistry, biology, and then social sciences, of course with some overlap. Humans have, AT LEAST PARTIAL, free will or they could not fundamentally choose to focus on life, thus all reason would be futile “And if humans lack free will then the reasoning behind anything would not exist”(Ohnemus 2023). Thus self-evident PARTIAL free will debunks biological determinism. Biological determinism, at least in this essay and many other senses, also means scientific materialism. Thus, humans probably have souls, OR AT LEAST hereditarianism is wrong. Science only approximately derives from philosophy because direct derivation would be a non-sequitur. Plus, the relationship between science and philosophy is very complicated. Philosophy speculates more and changes upon scientific discovery. Yet science rests upon philosophical postulates, such as the philosophy of science.”
Relevant answer
Answer
Free will challenges hereditarianism because it implies that human behavior is not solely determined by genetic factors. Basically, nature vrs nurture at a finer level. Existing in a system means that you are relegated to obeying and coexisting with the rules of that greater system, no matter what genetics you have. At a fundamental level, the system allows your DNA to exist due to the laws of physics, chemistry, and biology, but those are only microscopic parts of an advanced system that requires further regulation at higher levels that are not controlled by your DNA, Therefore, free will, which is a higher level system, affects the control methods of the lower level systems, not the other way around.

Astronomy, the scientific study of celestial bodies and the universe as a whole, has made remarkable strides over the centuries. From the early observations of the night sky to the sophisticated space telescopes and deep-space missions of today, our understanding of the cosmos has evolved significantly. Yet, despite these advancements, many fundamental questions remain unresolved. These unsolved problems not only highlight the limits of our current knowledge but also underscore the vastness of what we have yet to discover. This essay explores some of the most pressing unsolved problems in astronomy, shedding light on their implications and the ongoing efforts to tackle them.
#### 1. The Nature of Dark Matter
One of the most significant unsolved problems in astronomy is the nature of dark matter. Dark matter is a mysterious substance that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to current astronomical instruments. Despite its elusive nature, dark matter is thought to constitute about 27% of the universe's mass-energy content. Its existence is inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, such as galaxies and galaxy clusters.
The precise composition of dark matter remains unknown. Several candidate particles have been proposed, including Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs), axions, and sterile neutrinos. However, no direct detection of dark matter has yet been achieved, and experiments designed to uncover its properties, such as those conducted at underground laboratories and through astronomical observations, have yet to provide conclusive results.
#### 2. The Enigma of Dark Energy
Complementing the mystery of dark matter is the problem of dark energy. Dark energy is hypothesized to be responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe, a discovery that led to the 2011 Nobel Prize in Physics. Dark energy is thought to make up approximately 68% of the universe's energy density. However, its nature remains one of the most profound mysteries in cosmology.
Several theories attempt to explain dark energy, including the cosmological constant proposed by Albert Einstein and various dynamic field models. Despite extensive observations, such as those from supernovae and the cosmic microwave background, scientists have yet to identify the fundamental properties or source of dark energy.
#### 3. The Formation and Evolution of Galaxies
The formation and evolution of galaxies is another area of active research with many unanswered questions. Although simulations and observations have provided valuable insights into galaxy formation, significant gaps remain in our understanding. Key questions include how the first galaxies formed after the Big Bang, the role of supermassive black holes in galaxy evolution, and the processes that govern galaxy mergers and interactions.
Observations of distant galaxies provide a window into the early universe, but interpreting these observations involves complex models and assumptions. As telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) offer increasingly detailed views of distant galaxies, researchers hope to refine our understanding of these processes.
#### 4. The Origin of Cosmic Magnetic Fields
Cosmic magnetic fields are ubiquitous in the universe, influencing the behavior of charged particles and the structure of interstellar and intergalactic matter. Despite their prevalence, the origin of these magnetic fields remains an open question.
Several theories propose mechanisms for generating cosmic magnetic fields, including dynamo processes in early stars and galaxies, or primordial fields produced during the Big Bang. However, the exact processes that led to the observed large-scale magnetic fields are still under investigation, and understanding them could provide insights into fundamental aspects of cosmic evolution.
#### 5. The Nature of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs)
Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are intense, brief bursts of radio waves detected from distant galaxies. Discovered in 2007, these enigmatic signals last only a few milliseconds but release energy equivalent to that of the Sun over several days.
The origins of FRBs are still unknown. Proposed explanations range from neutron stars and black holes to more exotic scenarios like alien technology. Despite numerous detections and follow-up studies, the precise mechanisms behind FRBs remain elusive. Understanding FRBs could reveal new information about the conditions in distant galaxies and the nature of high-energy astrophysical processes.
#### 6. The Search for Extraterrestrial Life
The search for extraterrestrial life is perhaps one of the most profound and exciting areas of astronomy. While we have discovered thousands of exoplanets in the habitable zones of their stars, the question of whether life exists beyond Earth remains unanswered.
Efforts such as the SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) program aim to detect signals from advanced civilizations, while missions like the Mars rovers and the upcoming Europa Clipper seek to explore the potential habitability of other planets and moons in our solar system. Despite these efforts, no definitive evidence of extraterrestrial life has been found. The discovery of even the simplest forms of life elsewhere would have profound implications for our understanding of life's prevalence and diversity in the universe.
#### Conclusion
The field of astronomy is rich with mysteries and challenges that continue to inspire and intrigue scientists and enthusiasts alike. From the elusive nature of dark matter and dark energy to the enigmatic origins of cosmic magnetic fields and Fast Radio Bursts, these unsolved problems underscore the vastness of our ignorance and the ongoing quest for knowledge. As observational techniques advance and theoretical models evolve, future discoveries may shed light on these profound questions, further expanding our understanding of the cosmos and our place within it. The journey to unravel these cosmic mysteries is not only a testament to human curiosity but also a reminder of the boundless frontiers that still await exploration.

According to the theory of gravity: the gravity between the Sun and the Moon is almost twice that of the Earth and the Moon.
But!!!
Gravity between the Moon and the Earth (150000000 × 150000000 × 384400k)/330000
It is greater than the gravity between the moon and the sun.
More than the square of the distance from the earth to the sun.
k is greater than 1.
This formula is not complete and is only for comparison.
In space, the gravity formula is related to the core of space objects. It has nothing to do with crime
Unfortunately, I cannot explain easily now.
I write very briefly.
1- The moon is inside the rings of the earth.
The moons and rocks around the earth are either children of the earth or adopted children of the earth.
As a result, the core of the moon takes its power from the core of the earth.
The reason is related to the kernel. Coming soon with the formula.
In the mother and child gravity formula: it has a direct relationship with the distance and a direct relationship with the strength of the nuclei.
As a result, the gravity of the moon and the earth is very high.
Full explanation of the gravity formula inside the Earth, with calculations coming soon.
a point:
The moon is accepted: because it entered the rings around the earth from outside the earth. The moon comes from the Kuiper Belt between Mars and Jupiter. This happened when the core of the sun shook and the balance of the planets was disturbed.
The power of the moon's core when it was in the Kuiper belt was very high and it rotated at a speed of about 10 hours. When the moon entered the earth's ring. The core of the moon cooled and lost its power. Reasons in an essay.
After the separation of the Moon, Mercury also separated from the Kuiper Belt at the same time, but the Earth's core had captured the Moon and no longer had the power to trap Mercury. As a result, Mercury goes to the rings of Venus. How the Moon and Mercury separate from the Kuiper belt: Due to the strong vibration in their cores, the speed of rotation of their cores increases, as a result of which their rotation is stretched and penetrates into the orbits of Earth and Venus. I provide the full reason and calculations with the formula.
As a result of the second big shock to the Sun's core, Mercury is separated from Venus and returns to the Sun.
Earth also has a smaller moon called Mehsa, which disintegrated in the second tremor of the Sun's core and fell to Earth, giving rise to life on Earth.
Description of the story with all the details and reasons soon.
2- The moon is also inside the rings of the sun. But the sun gives very little power to the moon's core. The reason is related to the kernel. With the formula coming soon
The sun is the mother of the earth. Earth is the godmother of the moon.
The formula of gravity between the sun and the moon is the same as the formula of two independent bodies. In two independent bodies: gravity is inversely related to the square of the distance between them.
It has a direct relationship with the strength of the nuclei. As a result, the gravity between the Earth and the Moon is infinitely greater than the gravity between the Sun and the Moon.
Full description of gravity formula on independent bodies with calculations coming soon.
Relevant answer
Answer
This confusion is due to the illogical assumption that the planets orbit around their central bodies. The gravitational attraction between two bodies is strictly proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers of mass. This is equally applicable to the Earth and the moon.
However, you should also understand that it is physically impossible for a macro body to orbit around its central body. Planets are free macro bodies, the central body (sun) is a moving body and the circular/elliptical path is a geometrically closed path. Hence, planetary orbit cannot be circular/elliptical. This fact can be determined by observing a person trying to run around another person moving along a defined path. See: the article, 'Shape of orbital path' at http://vixra.org/pdf/1311.0018v1.pdf.
Therefore, in reality, the Earth does not orbit around the sun and the moon does not orbit around the Earth. But, both of them orbit about the sun's mean path in wavy paths. The sun, the planets and the satellites, together, orbit around the galactic center that is static in space.

Write a reflective essay on the importance of teacher involvement in curriculum development
Relevant answer
Answer
As an educator, together, we’ll embark on the fascinating world of curriculum design and explore the crucial role that teachers play in shaping it.
It is obvious that teachers make significant contributions to curriculum design. They are on the front lines, intimately acquainted with their students, the content, and the context. Their deep understanding of subject matter expertise allows them to contribute valuable insights to curriculum development.
Teachers provide real-world perspectives. They know what works in the classroom, what engages students, and what challenges they face. This practical knowledge informs curriculum decisions.
They ensure that the curriculum aligns with educational objectives. They can identify gaps, redundancies, or areas where adjustments are needed.
When we discuss adaptability, teachers contribute by suggesting flexible approaches. They understand that one size doesn’t fit all, and they can propose modifications to meet diverse student needs.
The benefits of involving teachers in curriculum design are manifold. They ensure that content remains relevant and applicable. They bridge theory and practice, shaping curricula to engage learners. In short, they know how to ignite curiosity and passion.
To help students understand lessons effectively, teachers draw upon the local context, cultural nuances, social dynamics, and economic factors. This approach makes learning more manageable and meaningful for students.
When teachers contribute, they are committed to implementing the curriculum effectively, and they feel a sense of ownership. Their involvement in curriculum design has a profound impact on student learning and instructional quality.
Teachers shape curricula to meet specific student learning needs. By customizing content, they ensure it resonates with diverse learners. They align their teaching style with curricular activities, assessments, and projects. This consistency enhances instructional quality.
When curricula are relevant and engaging, students remain motivated. They see the essential connections between what they learn and their real-world experiences. Effective curricula ignite curiosity and passion. Teachers play a pivotal role in designing learning experiences that foster this enthusiasm.
Teachers consider not only academic skills but also students’ social and emotional growth. A well-designed curriculum nurtures the whole child.
After implementing the curriculum, teachers monitor its effectiveness. They assess student progress and adjust as needed. This ongoing process ensures that curricula remain dynamic, responsive, and open to improvement.
Remember, teachers are the heartbeat of education. They bring life to the curriculum, infusing it with care, creativity, and dedication. Through teachers’ involvement, learning experiences resonate with students, fostering a genuine love for learning. Kudos to you and all educators shaping the future!

I have been writing about sustainability strategies in my cover essay. I described the strategic process as:
1) Setting a sustainability target.
2) Developing a strategy to reach the target.
3) Developing a method to assess whether a decision taken today fits within the strategy.
4) Ensure that this method is used by practitioners and that they have incentives to take sustainable decisions.
A comment I got was that not all strategies are based on fulfilling a target, that this approach is not universal and should be justified. However I have so far failed to find appropriate literature, in part because the keywords "goal-oriented strategy" yield literature about corporate management.
Has a similar approach, or an alternative approach, been theorized? What are example of sustainability strategies that do not start by setting a target?

Imo Nicolas Francart alternative strategy theory emphasises the importance of measuring the costs and benefits of different types of social behaviour, and of being aware that different behavioural solutions to the same problem may be equally successful.
Some alternative approaches to strategic planning include scenario planning, real-time strategic planning, and emergent strategy. Scenario planning involves creating a variety of detailed narratives about possible future conditions to help guide decision-making. You can use various methods and tools to do this, such as scoring, ranking, rating, or matrix analysis.

According to popular belief, generative artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT, does not understand the context of questions well. How well can ChatGPT cope with writing a philosophy essay? Are there any scientific studies on this topic?
Relevant answer
Answer
Yes, ChatGPT has the capability to generate text that resembles philosophical essays. However, there are some important limitations and caveats to keep in mind:
- ChatGPT does not truly understand philosophy or have its own philosophical viewpoints. It is an AI trained on text data, not the meaning or reasoning behind complex philosophical concepts. Any essays it generates will essentially be an imitation of philosophical writing, without genuine comprehension or novel philosophical insights.
- The essays may cover philosophical topics and mimic argument structure, but lack depth and nuance in the treatment of ideas. There may be logical gaps or inconsistencies that require human judgment and expertise to identify and address.
- There are concerns around the originality and citing of sources in AI-generated text. Essays may inadvertently contain passages copied from the training data without attribution. This could be considered plagiarism in an academic context.
- The tone and quality can be uneven. While parts may sound eloquently philosophical, there may be sections that read awkwardly or fail to connect back to a central argument. Polishing and editing by a human would likely be required.
In terms of scientific studies, there has been some early research testing ChatGPT's capabilities, but assessing the coherence, accuracy and originality of generative AI essays on complex topics like philosophy remains an open challenge. More rigorous studies across philosophical domains would help clarify strengths, weaknesses and overall performance. The technology shows promise, but requires more validation before it can be considered a reliable tool for generating publishable philosophical essays without human guidance. Responsible use that embraces the human role is advised in an academic context.

  • How specifically are these interests currently influencing the priority areas and themes of scientific research?
  • How can we ensure that science maintains its focus on the advancement of knowledge itself, rather than primarily serving economic interests?
I encourage participation from people of various fields, including scientists, philosophers of science, economists, and other professionals, to enrich our understanding of these critical issues.
Your participation is essential for a rich and diverse debate.

The recent essay "Beyond Progress: Unmasking the Myth of Scientific-Economic Advancement" raises a fundamental question: who does science really serve in contemporary society? This debate is an opportunity for us to collectively reflect on whether the current paths of scientific research are aligned with the true interests and needs of humanity.
Discussing the concept of 'Dynamic Genostability' and the interplay between pure and applied science, the essay challenges the prevalence of economic interests in shaping scientific advancements. I invite the community to ponder over these questions:
  • How are economic and corporate interests shaping current scientific research?
  • How can we ensure that science continues to serve human well-being and the advancement of knowledge, rather than merely economic interests?
Your participation and insights are valuable in enriching this crucial debate.

I decided to write an essay exploring a particular topic. I aim to discuss the evolution of this subject through various philosophical and contemporary psychological perspectives. The essay will serve as a brief summary and history, supplemented by my own arguments.
I would appreciate suggestions from fellow members of ResearchGate. I wonder if it's feasible to cover such a vast topic in one article, considering that it could easily fill a whole book (not by me, of course). Therefore, my question is whether it is realistic to encompass all of that in a single essay of approximately 10,000 words, which would be around 34 pages.
Thank You!

Answer
In APA style, there isn't a specific word limit for essays; instead, the length should be appropriate for the topic and depth of analysis required. For an essay covering the evolution of a topic through philosophical and psychological perspectives, with a summary, history, and personal arguments, the length could vary. It's essential to cover the subject comprehensively yet concisely. Aim for clarity and depth without unnecessary verbosity.

medical anthropology, an essay of 2000-2500 words.

Answer
Dear Bridget,
It isn't clear whether you have written or are commenting on a 2,000-2,500 word essay already (if so, please post the link) or whether you are just seeking commentary for a school assignment (so please be clear).
If you are honestly looking at this issue, you are touching on an important question in disciplinary boundaries and questions and how disciplines are supposed to work to protect human survival, health and well-being but currently fail to do, and I'm happy to kick this off with a pithy comment, as an applied anthropologist and scholar who has worked globally for 30+ years and who has also published works on how to evaluate and improve and protect disciplines and sub-disciplines (you can find some of my recent indicators for distinguishing academic fads and for structuring disciplines -- look at my piece on "Law and Development" with my indicator, and "Returning Discipline to the Discipline" in Anthropology, on ResearchGate as well as my works on education and applications and methods, particularly in experiential education/ field social science).
Medical Anthropology today is really a euphemism for "Cross Cultural Public Health" and is one of the opportunistic bridges that Anthropology has created to try to create relevance by grabbing on to existing applied and interdisciplinary fields like Public Health and adding something that is "cross cultural" but that doesn't answer the applied health questions that are key to anthropology like cultural sustainability, cultural restoration, cultural protections (understanding and eliminating war and genocide, that are key public health issues with huge implications).
So, do we need, "Cross Cultural Public Health"? YES, in the applied field/ sub-discipline of public health. What exists in this area today in Anthropology isn't the real discipline of Anthropology. It is Public Health and it belongs there. Anthropology needs to be doing what the discipline was designed for; to protect cultures, peace and rights in ways that have a much greater impact on health but that Anthropologists today are politically afraid to do or do not even think about given how the discipline is being gutted (no longer a social science with social science applications but an humanities that just brings a few cross cultural skills into remaining established applied sciences and social sciences).

I'm currently finalising the referencing and formatting for my MRes thesis. However, as I come from a science background and haven't had that much experience with humanities referencing, especially MHRA, there are still some areas about which I'm uncertain.
Throughout my thesis, I've referenced Tolkien's essay 'On Fairy-Stories':
Tolkien, J.R.R., ‘On Fairy-Stories’, in Tolkien on Fairy-Stories, ed. by Veryln Flieger and Douglas A. Anderson (London: HarperCollins, 2008), pp. 27–84
All references are to the main version in Flieger's and Anderson's collection. However, in this volume I need to reference a passage from a manuscript of an earlier version of the essay, 'BODLEIAN TOLKIEN MS. 6 FOLIOS 6-8'. The page from which I'm quoting is page 257. How would I reference this?
This is a relatively unimportant issue, though I need to get this sorted as I'm submitting a draft soon.
Thank you.
Relevant answer
Answer
To reference a reproduced manuscript text in an essay collection following the MHRA (Modern Humanities Research Association) style, you can use the following format:
Author Last Name, Author First Name. "Title of Essay." In Title of Essay Collection, edited by Editor First Name Last Name, page range. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year.
For the specific case of referencing a passage from a manuscript of an earlier version of an essay within an essay collection, you can include additional information in the citation. Here's an example:
Tolkien, J.R.R. "On Fairy-Stories." In Tolkien on Fairy-Stories, edited by Verlyn Flieger and Douglas A. Anderson, 27–84. London: HarperCollins, 2008.
In the text of your essay, you can refer to the specific passage from the earlier version of the essay as follows:
(Tolkien, On Fairy-Stories, BODLEIAN TOLKIEN MS. 6 FOLIOS 6-8, p. 257)
Make sure to include the appropriate citation in your bibliography or reference list at the end of your thesis.

Critical thinking is preserved for humanities where "objective thinking" is the currenvy and comp advantage of sciences.
Similarly, essays, log and report Qs are currenvy of humanities. But assesment theory, mostly developed by humanities insights (it is human centered not physical environment centered) covers both.

"By he end of this module, you’ll be able to:
apply the fundamentals of quantum physics to nanomaterials and the associated emerging technologies
understand the principles and usage of common characterisation techniques in nanotechnology
demonstrate critical awareness of current research and its limitations.

hello, professor, I want to know if every essay should have table, form and sheet? My major belong to humanities, how to make the table, form which in the essay? thank you very much.
Relevant answer
Answer
In the context of an essay in the humanities, tables, forms, and sheets are not typically essential components. However, if you believe that incorporating visual elements such as tables or forms will enhance the understanding and presentation of your information, you can certainly include them.
Here are a few guidelines on how to create tables and forms in an essay:
Tables: If you need to present data or compare information in a structured format, tables can be helpful. To create a table, follow these steps:
a. Determine the appropriate data to include in the table. b. Decide on the number of columns and rows needed to organize the information effectively. c. Use a word processor or a specific software (e.g., Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or LaTeX) that provides table creation tools. d. Insert a table into your document and populate it with the relevant data. e. Format the table, including adjusting column widths, adding headers, and applying any necessary styling.
Forms: Forms are not commonly used in essays, but they can be applicable in certain cases. For example, if you conducted a survey and want to present the results in a structured manner, you can create a form. Here's how:
a. Determine the questions and response options you want to include in the form. b. Use a tool such as Google Forms or Microsoft Forms to create a digital form. c. Start by adding the necessary questions and response options to your form. d. Customize the form's appearance, if desired, to match the overall style of your essay. e. Once the form is complete, you can embed it in your essay or provide a link for readers to access it.
Remember to consider the purpose and relevance of including tables and forms in your essay. Ensure they add value to your arguments or enhance the reader's understanding. Additionally, follow any specific formatting guidelines provided by your instructor or academic institution.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.

  7. Ethical Use of AI: The ethical considerations surrounding AI use in academia must be carefully addressed, such as transparency, data privacy, and the responsible use of AI technologies.
To address these challenges and ensure academic integrity, there are several actions that academia can take:
  1. Educate Students: Students need to be educated about academic integrity and the consequences of academic dishonesty. Institutions can implement programs to promote ethical behavior and raise awareness about AI-related challenges.
  2. Integrate AI Ethically: When utilizing AI in academic settings, it's crucial to ensure that ethical guidelines and safeguards are in place to prevent misuse.
  3. Enhance Plagiarism Detection: Institutions can adopt and improve AI-powered plagiarism detection tools to catch instances of academic dishonesty effectively.
  4. Foster a Culture of Integrity: Promote a culture of academic integrity that emphasizes the value of honest and original work.
  5. Review and Verify AI-Generated Content: When using AI-generated content, researchers and educators should carefully review and verify the accuracy and authenticity of the material.
  6. Monitor AI Applications: Regular monitoring and auditing of AI applications in academia can help identify and address any unintended consequences or biases.
By proactively addressing the challenges and responsibly integrating AI technologies, academia can harness the benefits of AI while maintaining academic integrity and upholding the values of education and research.

I believe physics curriculum designers are either too convervative or agnostic about the pedagogic structure.
Since critical thinking is the main feature of masters programs, physicists who insist on problem solving or advanced skills-based curricula for masters are in fact not being loyal to pedagocic theories or learning at the graduate level.
This might have consequences as, beyond the extra-IQ students, others are left at a disadvantage - even if they acquire those skills. Masters level education was always about critical thinking- and this is gained via essay-based projects on cutting edge field fronts better. Knowing physics does not imply critical thinking at higher level, as it is narcisistically assumed.

In your opinion, how to build an IT anti-plagiarism system that will verify essays written by students in schools and credit and diploma theses written by students in universities, taking into account the issue of possible and incompatible with the rules of the school, university use of automatic text generation tools, use of artificial intelligence, including, for example, ChatGPT? ChatGPT, i.e. taking into account the issue of the author's observance of copyright, correct use of sources, from other publications, reliable independent editing of the text of the essay, thesis, including bachelor's, master's, doctoral and other theses?
One solution may be to build an IT anti-plagiarism system, which would also use artificial intelligence solutions analysing the degree of similarity between texts written by pupils in school essays and theses written by students in universities with texts generated by e.g. ChatGPT and concerning the same issues.
However, before such a computerised anti-plagiarism system can be used to verify essays written by students at schools and pass theses and diploma theses written by students at universities, taking into account the possible use of artificial intelligence, including e.g. ChatGPT, certain changes should be made to the rules and regulations of schools, colleges and universities, taking particular account of the author's observance of copyright, the correct use of sources and other publications, and reliable, independent editing of essays, diploma theses, including bachelor's, master's, doctoral and other theses. Besides, before such an IT anti-plagiarism system is built, other supplementary and auxiliary solutions can be applied.
Another solution may be for teachers to require pupils and students to reliably, fully, methodologically demonstrate the data sources, source publications for all specific phrases, wording, content, information, statements, for every sentence that was not written from the author's own autopsy, the author's own experience of the work, etc. used in the written essay, credit work and other work. This type of solution may also be helpful on the issue of verification of the accuracy of the writing, i.e. without the use of a ChatGPT-type tool carried out by an IT anti-plagiarism system, which will verify this issue by comparing the content of the written work with the knowledge base used by ChatGPT. Therefore, it may be necessary to make the knowledge base used by ChatGPT (currently a knowledge base created on the basis of content downloaded in 2021 from a number of selected websites) available to IT companies developing IT anti-plagiarism systems that verify the above-mentioned issue of the reliability of the written text, i.e. without the use of a ChatGPT-type tool.
Another interim solution for the period before the creation of an IT anti-plagiarism system to verify the accuracy of the writing, i.e. without the use of the ChatGPT tool, could be for teachers to require their students to prepare and carry out project work requiring the use of various aspects of creativity as an alternative to written essays, credit essays and dissertations.
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
How, in your opinion, to build an IT anti-plagiarism system that will verify essays written by students at schools and credit and diploma theses written by students at universities, taking into account the issue of possible and incompatible with the rules of the school, university use of automatic text generation tools, use of artificial intelligence, including e.g. ChatGPT, i.e. taking into account the issue of the author's observance of copyright, correct use of sources, from other publications, reliable independent editing of the text of the essay, thesis, including bachelor's, master's, doctoral and other theses?
How to build an IT-based anti-plagiarism system that will verify the theses and dissertations written by students for possible use in their ChatGPT?
What do you think about this topic?
What is your opinion on this subject?
Please respond,
I invite you all to discuss,
Thank you very much,
Counting on your opinions, on getting to know your personal opinion, on an honest approach to discussing scientific issues and not the ready-made answers generated in ChatGPT, I deliberately used the phrase "in your opinion" in the question.

I think that one aspect that has gained attention in recent years is the role of storytelling in democracy studies. In my observation, Storytelling for example, can provide valuable insights into the experiences and perspectives of individuals within democratic systems. In fact, Narratives can illuminate the lived realities of people, highlight social and political challenges, and foster empathy and understanding among diverse communities. My little readings so far informs me that by centering storytelling in democracy studies, we can capture the multifaceted nature of democratic practices and their impact on individuals and societies.
Storytelling also has the potential to engage a broader audience and make democracy more accessible (see the works of Polletta & Lea, 2006 "Is Telling Stories Good for Democracy? Rhetoric in Public Deliberation after 9/11"). Umpteen times, through narratives, complex political concepts can be conveyed in a relatable and engaging manner, enabling people from various backgrounds to connect with democratic ideas and values. It allows for a more inclusive and participatory approach to understanding and practicing democracy.
However, much as I side with Christian Ewert, I strongly believe that, equally, it is important to note that storytelling should complement other rigorous scholarly methods and approaches in democracy studies. Critically,it should be seen as an additional tool for capturing diverse perspectives and enriching our understanding of democracy, rather than a sole method of analysis. The integration of storytelling alongside other methodologies can contribute to a more comprehensive and nuanced exploration of democratic theory and practice.

Leonardo Fiorespino argues that "[d]emocracy and butterflies are two very different objects of analysis". See his essay here for more: https://theloop.ecpr.eu/i-classify-therefore-i-know/
The crux of Fiorespino's claim is that "[a] butterfly is an empirical entity, whereas democracy is a contested concept".
But surely we can find instances in this world where democracy is not contested as a concept but the butterfly is! Furthermore, outside of "conventional democratic theory", democracy is often considered a well-defined, uncontested, empirical entity.
So where does this leave us? Does the contestatory nature of a concept somehow invalidate its capacity to be used in relation to a different, less/more contested, concept?
I don't think so. To me, clarity for the purposes of comparison is gained through careful definition and agreement by members of a discussion (discursive enclave) over the meaning of the definitions. That's obviously not an original position as it's been around for centuries. But somehow it feels novel.
What are your thoughts in relation to the above?

I trust that if science is to be science, it needs to be at least partly possible to study its objects empirically. I personally do not like the idea of the humanities being a branch of politics.

Papua New Guinea's economy has been hit hard by the COVID-19 pandemic due to weaker demand and less favorable terms of trade. Pandemic-related global and national movement restrictions have weakened external and domestic demand and affected commodity prices, which has led to an economic contraction, wider financing gaps in the external and fiscal accounts, and higher unemployment and poverty ¹. The tourism industry in Papua New Guinea has also been severely impacted as a result of COVID-19 and the travel restrictions imposed to contain its spread ⁴.

When it comes to democracy: "[w]hat are the purposes of definitions? Are definitions enough? How much can we understand from a definition? And how can we give voice to the people these definitions are about?"
These excellent questions are posed by Friedel Marquardt in her essay here: https://theloop.ecpr.eu/who-gets-a-say-in-the-meanings-of-democracy/
Marquardt's answer to the first question is that: "The definitions of democracy capture a manifestation of it within a particular context and community."
The next question is what the good aspects and bad aspects of this outcome are. For example, relying on texts can give us the capacity to capture more information about democracy. But, relying only on texts leaves out so very much information as Marquardt, Hans Asenbaum, and Hilary Gopnik make clear.
What do you think?
Relevant answer
Answer
The purpose of a definition is to provide clarity and precision in language, particularly in specialized fields where terms have specific meanings. By defining key terms and concepts, we can avoid misunderstandings and ensure that everyone is on the same page when it comes to discussing a particular topic.
However, definitions are not always enough to fully understand a concept or idea. While they provide a starting point, they do not necessarily capture the nuances and complexities of a given concept or the ways in which it is experienced by different people. In order to truly understand a concept, it is often necessary to explore it in greater depth, through discussion, research, or lived experience.
In addition, it is important to recognize that definitions can be limiting in their scope and perspective. In order to give voice to the people these definitions are about, it is important to incorporate diverse perspectives and lived experiences into our discussions and definitions and to actively seek out and listen to those whose voices may not have been traditionally included as long as it is in context.

Ernesto Cruz Ruiz reminds us that understanding democracy requires more than a focus on the language/s used to define it, to describe it.
In the forthcoming book, "The Sciences of the Democracies", we detail that we can learn about democracy from people, groups, non-texts and non-humans, as well as from texts.

The US recently intercepted and shot down a Chinese balloon flying over US territory. The US claims that it was a “spy balloon”. In a press conference, the US indicated that they were aware of 39 other countries who also had intercepted Chinese balloons over their countries. When queried by a journalist as to how the US had come by this information and which countries these were, the US spokesperson replied that they had their means of acquiring this information but would not disclose how. The current tensions between China and the United States open up interesting questions regarding espionage and foreign policy during rising global tensions. Espionage by countries, including allies, is a common occurrence. In response to the above, your essay should: a. Critically discuss this statement in relation to the legitimacy of spying among states. In your essay, contextualise the current US-China tensions (that have grown since 2018), and what the “spy balloon” saga may mean for US-China relations (e.g. from a foreign policy perspective). b. Why would China exploit a seemingly low-tech form of espionage when they have hundreds of satellites orbiting the earth? Ensure your essay has an introduction and conclusion, as well as a detailed bibliography and is properly referenced throughout.
Relevant answer
Answer
Espionage between countries is an old phenomenon, and it is witnessing progress according to the recorded scientific development, and it includes various military, technological, industrial, and other fields. For this method, and currently China is one of the countries that are very active in this field, It is accused of industrial and technological espionage today in a large way, so that there are observers who consider that a large part of its great technological and industrial development today is due to its reliance on espionage operations on various American and Western companies in general, despite its justifications for the balloon, as it is a scientific balloon for monitoring weather conditions. And it deviated from its course, but it is clear that it is one of the espionage operations that it has launched against the United States and some other countries for decades, and this incident can be placed in the category of operations that have become usual and routine for espionage between countries, because even the United States, which criticizes China for its espionage, is also practicing it. And on a large scale and in different fields, Although espionage in itself is an illegal and unacceptable process, various countries practice it in secret, even if they criticize it in public.

What would you use Natural Language Processing techniques for if you had access to an enormous digital library of data on "democracy" & closely related concepts?
This question comes from Agustin Goenaga's essay here: https://theloop.ecpr.eu/what-democracy-should-be-for-us/
Relevant answer
Answer
Natural language processing has been minimally practiced in electoral data in central and eastern Europe. Academic research on social democratic parties in the region relies mostly on human-based content analysis and expert reviews; ideology and programs are usually only analyzed as part of a broader context and often using case studies or qualitative comparisons. Curry, Urban 2003; White, Lewis, Batt 2013; Bozóki, Ishiyama 2002; Hlouek, Kopeek 2016; Koubek, Poláek 2017; Kraovec, Cabada 2018 2018 It needs to draw on a general set of assumptions from the broader literature.
