The mainstream physicists should close up their shops now and wind up an atheistic paradigm as everything has to be theistic.
I request that my friends and those whom this reaches share this information with everyone worldwide.
A glimpse of my research
You should bear in mind that I am doing everything for the betterment of humanity because I am a Philanthropist.
The link to my publications is here
I want to bring to your notice the contents of the verse 41-53 of the Quran
"Soon We will show you the Our signs in space and what is in their selves and you will realize this (the Quran) is true; is not this enough your Sustainer knows everything"
These publications mentioned above also include the two papers which substantiate the existence of two unknown substances namely aether and 'energy' which are referred in the Quran in verse (41-53) as Allah's signs which have been scientifically and philosophically proven thereby the divinity of the Quran and Allah as knower and creator of everything in the universe is also demonstrated. This has to be the final scientific and philosophical evidence of the existence of Allah and divinity of Quran.
The two publications referred to above are "Theory of Origin and Phenomenon of Life" and "Michelson -Morley Experiment; A Misconceived and Misinterpreted Experiment"
In the second paper, the existence of aether has been confirmed which physicists have been looking for since 1864 and an experiment was done in 1887 called the Michelson -Morley Experiment which was interpreted to conclude the absence of aether. I proved the existence of aether by the same experiment by showing what and why mistakes were made to conclude the absence of aether. I showed that the experiment confirms the existence of aether without any doubt whatsoever. In so far as the second unknown substance is concerned it is a metaphysical substance that has been philosophically shown to be the only alternative to explain the phenomenon of life like consciousness, instincts, growth, desire to survive, self-repair, etc. but most importantly it contains the biological laws which act as source of livingness in living beings including humans due to which cells in the living beings are functional. This small philosophy paper has tremendous implication, besides changing the biological sciences, in medical sciences which undoubtedly will revolutionise the medical field.
These papers are available on General Science Journal, Natural Philosophers Database, SlideShare, ResearchGate, vixra, and Indian Journal of Science and Technology at www.indjst.org
Besides I will like to inform you that the paper concerning the part of the verse (41-53) as to what is within the humans in their selves is also to be refined to the extent that for all species it is not two initial cells but it is just one cell which was created for all species which divided into two one for male and one for female. Besides there are not only forces of nature as known in physical sciences but there are biological laws which are in the living species which are contained in the 'energy' due to which living species are living. These refinements will be done in the upcoming revised edition of my book titled "Natural World Order and The Islamic Thought" which is in the final stages.
This is the shorter version of my research work which includes proving Einstein as scientific fraud and his famous formula E=mc^2 as absolutely baseless in half a page of my research paper titled " Experimental and Theoretical Evidence of Fallacy of Space-time Concept and Actual State of Existence of Physical Universe". My papers published in peer-reviewed journals are available in General Science Journal, Natural Philosophers Database, ResearchGate, SlideShare, viXra, Academia.edu in my profile and Indian Journal of Science and Technology and also Elixir International publishing journal.
Hereunder are the exchange of ideas with the Managing Editor of a journal which would reveal the very brief synopsis of my research work.
Dear Watson Roy,
Greetings and happy New Year though late. Firstly I will like to inform you that I am not a Ph.D as I have done only two masters degrees in physics and forestry though my research work could easily fetch me at least a D. Sc. and a few Ph.D's. I am feeling proud to inform you that my research has the potential of changing the course of physical and biological sciences including philosophy, the mother of all subjects. A small philosophy paper titled 'Theory of Origin and Phenomenon of Life' has the potential of changing the biological sciences and philosophy. The only alternative which can explain the phenomenon of life especially cell function, consciousness, instincts, gowth, self repair and above all biological laws which were unknown till to date could now be unraveled the way I ravelled the contents of soul in my outline of book titled "Natural World Order and The Islamic Thought". There has to be a team of microbiologists and philosophers who can investigate the biological laws in animals and human as the 'energy' in both humans and animals is same. The biological laws can have revolutionary impact on medical science. The recognition of this paper will reopen the subject of philosophy as metaphysical substance have the formal recognition.
Now coming to my main subject that is physics. In brief my research will change the whole subject of physics as following are the domains which will have to be changed
1. The laws of nature are reduced from four laws to just one law and that is electromagnetic law.
2. The proof of existence of aether will change the emergent nature of space to absolute nature of space as the result of which whole subject of physics and its all branches have to be rewritten especially the Big Bang Theory is doomed to the extent nobody will like to take the name of this theory any more.
3. The only possible alternative theory for creation of universe is already proposed and also published in a peer-reviewed journal.
4. My research work falsifies the Greek philosophy, Newtonian philosophy, and the philosophy which is being adopted presently which has reduced the apparent four constituent of the universe to two constituents due to the fraud of Einstein. The final philosophy is that space is absolute and finite, time, matter and light/radiation are all emergent and the light/radiation propagates as an electromagnetic wave motion in the aether, the electric dipoles. Aether being the fifth constituent which fills the space. The very concept of action at distance through fields has to be forgotten for good.
In short the Darwinism, Einsteinism, Big Bang Theory and the pretext of science as the reason for being atheists are all doomed for good.
I think if not the synopsis you may send the copy of this letter to your readers to know the factual position of everything.
Thanking you and expecting your early response.
With Regards
Mohammad Shafiq Khan
Ex.Director, Writer, Scientist, Philosopher and above all a Philanthropist.

Why aren't the police investigating academic misconduct? Why aren't there police officers who do that specifically? That is, if a scholar or professor has academic misconduct, such as plagiarizing someone else's theory or fraud, then the police will investigate after receiving the report. Now the academic misconduct depends on the university's integrity office investigation, won't these integrity officials shield their own university professors?

The last couple of months a significant number of RG members were “harassed” by scammers with non-sensical requests/questions. With the purpose to extract personal info from you, check the power of AI generated responses, or whatever their purpose might be.
Because of this RG changed their policy that you now can only message those who are following you.
So, the approach of the scammers is now: create a fake account, ask a pseudo-legit question and start to follow those who react (and they hope that you will follow them back) and subsequently ask again a non-sensical request/question. Or when you answer they reply and ask for connection to LinkedIn etc.
Check the profile and so far, all of them have:

I have just been bombarded with fake 'recommendations'. An 'article' was listed twice in RG, one of which lists the British Journal of Aesthetics as the publication source. I 'followed' it to read later. Within hours I received several 'recommendations', spiking quickly within a few days. I had time this morning to check out one of the 'articles' more carefully, and it even has a fake DOI. I've been asked for full texts, and approached on LinkedIn. And this morning I got an email which said that a colleague 'found me on Research Gate', and I was being asked to publish with their 'World Culture' series. And I am now stuck with a load of recommendations that are clearly questionable as the profile from which the recommendation stems has nothing to do with my research area - and is also fake or impersonating someone.

MSW Management Journal is hijacked. The fake website is https://mswmanagementj.com/index.php/home/index There are numerous red flags:
-Look at for example https://mswmanagementj.com/index.php/home/issue/view/8 and see that there are countless unrelated papers ‘published’ in the field of art, education, energy/engine and health science
-Also, the number of papers does not fit the moderate number of papers according to Scopus https://www.scopus.com/sourceid/5300152536 just click on Scopus content coverage and see that with these fraudsters they publish more in one issue than what the legit one publish in one year
-According to SCImago https://www.scimagojr.com/journalsearch.php?q=5300152536&tip=sid&clean=0 the real publisher used to be Forester Communication Inc. (also named Forester Media Inc.) if you click on the homepage link on the SCImago page you are redirected to https://www.wastetodaymagazine.com/?r=1
-The pop-up message indicate that there is a new owner. Indeed they are/used to be linked to SWANA https://swana.org/news/safety-news and they published in MSW Management (scroll down to the bottom of the page) if you click on it then you are redirected to the same waste today website.
-Looking at the fake website there are the ‘usual’ issues with a hijacked version:
Older issues are not accessible (if you click on a pdf you need to enter a password…)
Contact info is nothing but a Gmail address
Editorial team is most likely fake (and lacking info about the members) and is way too small to handle the huge number of manuscripts
Last but not least they make use of a logo I’ve never seen before (it misleadingly mimics the WoS logo, see figures enclosed).
Again, a sad example of deception.

I've recently seen here high numbers of similar bots (one impersonating scholar with different name, sex and affiliation or in most cases pretending to be some female Asian post-grads and having some weird questions)
Did anyone has figured out what's the rationale? I have seen bots, I have not seen so far any clear scam, so wonder what's the motivation behind.
Relevant answer
Answer
Dear Marcin Piotr Walkowiak, It’s strange seeing these bots on RG pretending to be scholars. It's hard to pin down why they’re doing it. They might be trying to collect data, phishing for sensitive info, or just testing how well AI can mimic people. Some might simply be spammers or trolls with no clear purpose. Even though there doesn’t seem to be a direct scam, it’s best to be careful and avoid interacting with any suspicious profiles.

Hi, I have a set of hypotheses about main effects and a set of hypotheses about moderating effects. One of the main effects is insignificant (H rejected). Namely, Capability does not predict Fraud (in my data). However, the moderating hypothesis "Machiavellian personality moderates effect of Capability on Fraud" is significant. According to my calculation, the statistical power in my regression models should be good, therefore my findings reliable. Still, I am not sure how to interpret this situation. So MACH changes (negatively) the slope of CAP=>FRAUD. But there is no reliable slope! Operationalization of CAP and MACH is consistent with the literature; FRAUD is measured through a lab experiment. Any ideas on how to interpret this? Also, I had to run regressions with moderators without the main effects due to huge multicollinearity. So I have two sets of models, models with main effects (just IVs / IVs + controls) and models with moderators (just MODs / MODs + controls).

Recognize other red flags like:
-No real contact info (physical address etc.)
-Although the event will take place pretty soon there is still no real program
-No association to a reputable institute, university or society

Do you think "the Fourteenth Amendment granted citizenship to all persons "born or naturalized in the United States" and provided all citizens with "equal protection under the laws" in California?
In my case, the answer is, "I don't think so."
How is it in your case?
This press release will be extended to several press releases with Crime List and Crime Police Reports.
First Press Release
November 18, 2023
Documentary Books series: Collective Injustice
Second Book:
Our California government and its institutions neither Listen nor Care.
Martin Luther King once said," Power at its best is love implementing the demand for justice." Accordingly, here I am to present my case. For several years, I have been trying hard to ward off collective injustice in my arena- the injustice of many people and institutions, which is countless. I found no one to help me except God, Lord of the worlds. So, I told myself to approach the government and its institutions, the judiciary, and lawyers, seeking help from all of them. Here, I present to them my petitions, letters, and valid evidence so that I may find among them someone who will be fair to me and remove the yoke of injustice from me. It cost me great effort, precious time, and much money, in addition to burning my nerves and deteriorating my health. My lack of financial resources hardly covered my daily living needs or my medical and health requirements, which prompted me to drown in many debts that exhausted me. In addition, they mistreated me when I demanded my legal rights in all my transactions and entitlements as an elderly American citizen with special needs, but no one listened or cared. It is the first volume among more than thirty-six volumes, containing between its covers all the evidence of letters and petitions showing fraud against my person, which had a disastrous effect on my work, my health, and my entire life, and my responses to all of that with irrefutable evidence.
I worked for many months to prepare complete folders on all the collective injustices committed by everyone. I sent a bi-weekly folder to the California Attorney General's Office, government institutions in California, the federal government, human rights and civil bodies, and an appropriate number of local media outlets and newspapers. I will share all the files with you, but I stopped after a month and a half after sending four folders, and the results are severe. In summary, as follows: There is no value or weight for any American citizen in a society of freedom and justice, which has undergone a catastrophic revolution and become a society of restrictions, shackles, and collective injustice. Look around you. Everything has increased in value many times over, while the American citizen has decreased in value many times over, and the opposite is supposed to happen. The world turned upside down, and America became like Egypt, governed by shackles and restrictions and the collective injustice of its citizens.
I am working on filing crime reports with the police, the FBI, the California courts, and the federal superior courts, all against them.
The California government is in one valley, and the rest of California's honorable people are in another.
Now is the time to choose someone who represents us and not himself.
It is time to choose someone who treats us humanely and not with dirty racism.
It is time to make the America of justice, the America of faithful citizenship, the America of freedom for all citizens.
It is time to make America the cradle and leader of genuine democracy and effective human rights worldwide.
It's time. It's time.
If you are interested in knowing more about my tragedy, please get in touch with me at (http://drfayad.com), and don't hesitate to contact me at (info.aitg@aeehitg.com) to get the extended stories with much evidence within this volume. The delay in doing the website caused a lot of losses because "Amazon Publishing Pro" did not HONOR THE CONTRACT SIGNED ON APRIL 14, 2023, and participated in the Collective Injustice.
Important Alert
The purpose of writing this press release is not to offend any person, institution, group, political party, government, or country in the world. Instead, the purpose is to report and tell what befell me of wrong lest my experience would be repeated with others. It is intended to keep the stability of the community and guarantee the protection of its members, whether native or expatriate. It is a cry from me so that it may reach the ears of the world. Perhaps someone will hear it and help me to restore my lost and stolen rights. I intend to mention the names of some people who have done me wrong. I am not against any person, institution, government, or political party, but I am against any corruption or transgression by some irresponsible individuals who do not fulfill the role assigned to them appropriately. This is only for your information.

That is what the constitution says and what the public schools teach but what the teacher didn’t say was the US constitution applies to the states. State constitutions provide citizens more rights than the US constitution because you cant use the US constitution in state court. You must use state constitutions in state courts. The US constitution can be used in federal district court.

Thanks in advance
Relevant answer
Answer
One commonly used dataset for credit card fraud detection is the Credit Card Fraud Detection Dataset available on Kaggle, which contains transactions made by credit cards in September 2013 by European cardholders. This dataset encompasses transactions over a two-day period, including 492 frauds out of 284,807 transactions, making it imbalanced but reflective of real-world scenarios. Additionally, the IEEE-CIS Fraud Detection Dataset on Kaggle offers a more extensive set of real-world features for transactional data, suitable for advanced machine learning models. For cases where real-world data is limited or sensitive, synthetic datasets like the Credit Card Fraud Detection Synthetic Dataset on Kaggle provide an alternative. As with any dataset, it's crucial to understand its limitations, potential biases, and preprocessing requirements while adhering to proper citation and usage protocols.

Most of the man-made problems all over the world ~ corruption, injustice, tyranny, oppression, fraud, poverty, unrest, bloodshed etc. are the root cause of people's lack of sufficient knowledge and consciousness and mental illness due to lack of real education. Blind-faith, blind-devotion, superstition, violence- hatred- terror etc. criminal and inhuman activities are all born from them.
Real human development and world peace can only be achieved if proper mind-development education and training is introduced everywhere. If true human development takes place through mind-developmental education, then most human-centered problems and crises will be solved.
The right education is the education to create a sufficiently developed human being. A very advanced education and training called 'Mahamnan' has been prepared, through which the mind and consciousness of the students will be developed considerably. Students will become truth-loving and rational and will be able to perceive the real situation including the people around them. Students will be able and strive to improve the environment and improve the people around them along with their own development. Freed from superstitions, they will rationally understand their own body and mind and political, economic and cultural conditions and try to make positive changes in them if necessary for the sake of living well. A good political party and social system without corruption will not be formed if enough developed people are not formed. People cannot get out of the trap of superstition or blind -faith. Real human development will not happen and real development of the country will not happen if better people are not created. But it will not be possible in a few days to remove the darkness and superstition accumulated from the human mind for thousands of years, it will require a lot of time. After a few generations the full benefits of this reform will be realized.
Equation:
P represent the prevalence of societal problems such as corruption, injustice, tyranny, oppression, fraud, poverty, unrest, and bloodshed. Let \( E \) represent the level of education and consciousness provided to individuals:
P = f(E)
Where:
• f represents the function describing the relationship between education and societal problems.
• E represents the level of education and consciousness provided to individuals.
Furthermore, to capture the impact of proper mind-development education on human development and world peace, we can introduce another variable:
H represent the degree of human development and world peace achieved, influenced by the introduction of mind-development education:
H = g(E)
Where:
• g represents the function describing the relationship between education and human development/world peace.
Relevant answer
Answer
Again, conventional academic education and religious education are incapable of producing true human development. That is why people are in such a bad condition today and that is why I have to create the path of real human development through proper mental development education through many researches. Religious education has for so long taught people to believe blindly, not to be rational and acquire pure knowledge.

Recently I received an email from Research Gate saying that a person named Hayleen Garcia co-authored some of our publications, but that is not correct. One example of that is: Expression of genes coding for selected amino acid transporters in small intestine, liver, and skeletal muscle of pigs fed excess branched-chain amino acids (Genetics and Molecular Research Journal). The actual names of the authors are: Miguel Cervantes, Nestor Arce, Héctor García, Margarita Cota, John K. Htoo and Adriana Morales. Apparently, Hayleen García pretends to be Hector García. There are five more papers with the same false claims. The title page of those publications shwocased in the Research Gate web site had the whole name of that person (Hayleen García), but these journals include only the first name initials.
Thus, this person seems to be committing fraud by pretending being Héctor García.

See "Another researcher has claimed my publications" in https://help.researchgate.net/hc/en-us/articles/14292798510993 for instructions how to correct this. But unlike this help page suggests, most probably it was not Hayleen García herself who wrongly claimed authorship, but ResearchGate's automatic algorithm wrongly identified her as the author and assigned your publication to her profile. This is a frequent problem in ResearchGate in case of similar names. I would be able to send you several dozen similar complaints by RG users.

Front organizations, also known as shell companies or cover organizations, are entities that are created and operated to conceal the true ownership, purpose, or activities of individuals or groups involved. These organizations often present a legitimate façade to the public while serving as a disguise for hidden or illicit agendas. Front organizations can be used for various purposes, both legal and illegal, and they play a role in activities such as money laundering, fraud, espionage, and more.
Front organizations can take different forms and operate in various sectors, including business, politics, and even non-profit sectors. Here are a few common characteristics and examples of front organizations:
Characteristics:
  1. Deception: Front organizations are designed to deceive the public, authorities, or other organizations about their true nature, affiliations, or activities.
  2. Legitimacy: They often present themselves as legitimate entities, engaging in activities that align with their apparent purpose or industry.
  3. Separation of Identity: Front organizations are established to separate the true identities of individuals or groups from the activities they are involved in.
  4. Proxy Representation: They may act as intermediaries, representing the interests of other individuals, organizations, or entities.
Examples:
  1. Money Laundering: Criminal organizations may use front companies to legitimize their illegal funds. These companies might engage in legal businesses to obscure the origin of the money.
  2. Espionage: Front organizations could be used by intelligence agencies to gather information or carry out covert operations in a foreign country.
  3. Fraud: Fraudulent companies might be set up as fronts to deceive investors or creditors, making it seem like a legitimate investment opportunity.
  4. Political Influence: Organizations may be created to promote a political agenda or influence policy decisions while hiding the true interests behind the scenes.
  5. Advocacy: Some organizations might claim to advocate for a particular cause or social issue while serving the interests of other entities.
  6. Legitimate Business: Front companies can be established to conduct legal business activities while concealing the true ownership or purpose.
Front organizations are a tool used for various purposes, and they can have serious legal, ethical, and societal implications. Law enforcement agencies, regulatory bodies, and investigative journalists work to identify and expose front organizations involved in illegal activities or unethical practices. It's important to remain vigilant and informed about the entities with which you interact and to report any suspicions of illegal or unethical behavior to the appropriate authorities.

I am of the view many customers are not understanding these types of scams mainly because they disregard the bank's fraud awareness information or security alerts. Therefore, they disadvantage themselves from being able to safeguard their banking channels against the scammers. Although the banking industry and the related stakeholders are regularly issuing various fraud awareness about phishing, vishing and smishing scams the questions remains whether does this reach the consumers in way that is intended by the banks for customers to apply them in their daily digital banking needs.
Relevant answer
Answer
The level of knowledge and understanding that customers have about internet banking scams, such as phishing, vishing, and smishing, can vary significantly from person to person. While some individuals may be well-informed and vigilant about such scams, others may have limited awareness or understanding of these fraudulent activities.
It is essential for banks and financial institutions to educate their customers about the various types of internet banking scams and provide guidance on how to defend against them. This typically includes sharing information about common scam tactics, raising awareness about the warning signs, and offering tips to protect personal information and financial accounts.
Many banks and financial institutions have implemented security measures and provided educational resources to help customers defend themselves against scams. These resources may include online security guides, fraud prevention tips, and educational campaigns through emails, websites, or mobile apps. Some institutions also offer two-factor authentication, transaction monitoring, and alerts to help customers identify and respond to suspicious activities.
However, it is important to note that scammers continuously evolve their techniques and find new ways to exploit vulnerabilities. Therefore, even with the best efforts of banks and financial institutions, customers should also take personal responsibility for staying informed about the latest scams and actively adopting security practices to protect themselves.
By staying informed, being cautious with personal information, regularly updating passwords, verifying the authenticity of communications, and promptly reporting any suspicious activities, customers can enhance their defenses against internet banking scams. Additionally, customers should reach out to their respective banks or financial institutions for guidance and support in case they encounter any suspicious activity or have concerns about the security of their accounts.

This is a frequent problem in ResearchGate, in most cases caused by an automatic algorithm of RG, not by other users. See "A researcher has wrongly claimed co-authorship of my publication" in https://explore.researchgate.net/display/support/Authorship for instructions how to correct this. But unlike this help page suggests, most probably it was not the other author himself who wrongly claimed co-authorship, but ResearchGate's automatic algorithm wrongly identified him as co-author and assigned your publication to his profile.

Hello All
These days Nobel prizes are distributed. But at the same time there are a lot of frauds in published researches. In 2021 "Retraction Watch" in its twitter page, shared us, that there were 30000 retractions in its Database. please see the link below:
But now, in 2022, according to its own page it has 35000 retracted papers in its database (see the attachment). In just some one year 5000 retractions were added to its database.
These retractions are in any academic disciplines. Some of them in Medical Sciences, Biology, Agriculture, and Food sciences are direct threats to our health (like the book attached here about Food Fraud). While other scientific frauds pose many other long lasting threats to all of us around the world.
I have worked on dark sides of sciences and their threats to all of us everywhere (some of them in the forms of discussions and answers in RG) . Along with educating and informing, one thing that can attract attention and curiosity of all may be a World Prize in this regard.
  • I think if we work together we may have a louder voice to discourage wrongdoers in the world of academia.

how to use data analytics to detect and mitigate fraud online
Relevant answer
Answer
Detecting and mitigating fraud requires two things:
1. Identifying normal patterns
2. Identifying deviations from the norm
The specifics will look different depending on what type of data you are looking to detect and mitigate fraud in. Let's take financial banking as an example. In this field, the size of the transaction is one of the largest indicators of fraud. Researchers have determined that the majority of transactions are relatively small. They have also determined that the majority of fraudulent transactions are large (given that it is more profitable for the fraudulent actor). Thus, one factor financial fraud mitigation algorithms look at is the size of the transaction, seeking to identify transactions that are outside of the normal range. Of course, there are hundreds of other factors that go into these algorithms as well. However, the premise of almost all fraud detection and mitigation can be broken down into those two steps.
In terms of the specific technologies used, Bayesian filters are very common. This is the form of algorithm used in email spam detection. Machine learning models are also very common, particular for detecting and mitigating fraud in big data.

Thank you, Dongwon Kim, for the link to cleanadademia.com (which I do not know).
Unethical behavior cannot simply be fought by an appeal to ethical behavior (or by policing). Unethical — or opportunistic — behavior is deeply embedded in nature, and out culture shows a great ambivalence regarding that phenomenon with positive and negative connotations. In order to help control the negative implications within our cultures, we ought to avoid incentives that seem to foster opportunistic behavior within academia (or society), e.g. the (undue) focus on status, the focus on quantity instead of on quality of work, the substitution of other's judgement instead of one's one, the often clearly false normalizations of bibliometrics data.
Unethical, opportunistic behavior feeds on a system of incentives that our respective societies love, that many people exploit to some extent in their daily lives. In Germany, it is still common to refer to a PI with the title (Prof. Dr. X, or Prof. Dr. Dr. X — almost 100% of all PI's have a PhD), and in Switzerland, a republic, the titles conferred by the Queen of England are used. Titles should play no role in our modern societies, but they do (because of status reasons). False normalizations of bibliometrics data is a big problem (and used even by funding agencies of the EU).
It is difficult to design decent societies, and most critical people arrange themselves somehow. Let us try to enlarge the population of the critical — decent — citizens.

Dear Prof. Ferhan Kuyucak Sengur and all the respected RG colleagues,
This respected portal (i.e. RG) defines plagiarism as:
The term “plagiarism” has different meanings, but it usually includes copying somebody else’s work without permission.
On the other side, self-plagiarism is when the author republishes portions of his/her own previously written research work while authoring a new work.
I may be somewhat old-fashioned, but please have a look at the following golden principles on how to avoid plagiarism in academic writing, especially Self-Plagiarism:
  1. Never use the "Copy-Paste" trend: Use your own words instead of copying the words of others. Needless to say that if you are using your own words, then there is no chance of plagiarism accusing.
  2. Never repeat yourself: There are many re-published articles that are slightly or even considerably modified, and still not changed!
  3. If you have co-authors, just trust your words!
  4. If you use your own words, there should be no plagiarism issue. In turn, there is no need for the tools of plagiarism checking. Since there is no guarantee that the original content of your manuscript might not be copied and sold to others before it is published by you, I discourage using any free-software checkers for plagiarism; some of them are betrayers. Despite that offline ones are rare and if you are insisting to use anti-plagiarism software, offline checker programs are safer than online ones.
  5. In some cases, you can paraphrase the sentences in the original document. But don't forget to write a reference.
  6. You must always insist on honesty. Furthermore, you have to always remember that there should be a new added value.
  7. You must always insist on doing real research, not "Wikipedia" research.
  8. Do not put any of your research work anywhere until it is published and tagged with your name. Please wait until the paper is accepted and then published in that journal. Then, upload that research item on any platform you wish.
  9. Despite that offline ones are rare and if you are insisting to use anti-plagiarism software, offline checker programs are safer than online ones.
  10. In my opinion, most of the free-software-checkers for plagiarism don't work effectively. Unfortunately, you have to pay for the sake of getting good results.
  11. Try to develop your own style for the text writing.
  12. Try to read as much scientific literature as possible, especially in your own research field area.
  13. A reminder for all respected researchers: In order to maintain research integrity, plagiarism (الاستلال) has to be given up. However, many people do not know whether they are committing plagiarism intentionally or unintentionally.
Finally, believe me, or not: If you make one plagiarizing, you may solve one problem and fall into many others where some of which may be described as a knockout. Again and again, please always remember that if there were accusations of plagiarism, it is not well for any researcher's reputation, in any meaning.

One of the main differences between Financial Audit and Forensic Audit is that the Financial Audit gives the guarantee that the financial statements that have been checked are true and fair and are reasonable whereas, Forensic Audit helps to analyze and investigate a certain set of transaction, if any fraud has been occurred.
The goal of this project is to set the record straight as much focus have been on the Financial Audit as the Fraud Detector.
The questions are: 1. Who then is the Fraud Detector, a Financial Auditor or a Forensic Auditor?
2. Why are Financial Auditors liable if failed in their audit duty to detect fraud within an organization?
Relevant answer
Answer
If the Financial Audit and Forensic Audit are distinct in their objectives, and the report from the Financial Audit may lead to a Forensic Audit, then why are Financial Auditors liable in cases of failure to unravel Frauds, in the case of the Arthur Andersen in the "Enron Scandal"? ...mind You, Arthur Andersen might have been reporting the Fraud Signals to the Enron Corporation Management for the need for a Forensic Audit but probably and deliberately they ignored the submissions/reports, however did they?
The Enron scandal was a series of events involving dubious accounting practices that resulted in the bankruptcy of the energy, commodities, and services company Enron Corporation and the dissolution of the accounting firm Arthur Andersen.
Arthur Andersen was only the Financial Auditor and not the Forensic Auditor I think so why their dissolution?

In the age of virtual worlds available to everyone, everywhere, even the meaning of "publish or perish" has changed. Many universities around the globe not only put pressure on their faculty members but also many incentives in different forms, such as cash, to publish more and more... Too many authors have become addicted to see their works published at any costs. They show off their published works, citations, … and "ordinary Scientometrics" with any given names, descriptive or analytic in nature up to now help them.

On three accounts, the rapid growth in cryptocurrency is comparable to a ponzi scheme. People invest into these because they expect good returns. There is no identified source of generating revenue on the investment. A Ponzi scheme is an investment fraud that pays existing investors with funds collected from new investors. The Ponzi scheme organizers often promise to invest your money and generate high returns with little or no risk. ... Instead, they use it to pay those who invested earlier and may keep some for themselves.
Cryptocurrencies are essentially digital currencies that are not issued by any central authority and depend on the users of the currency for their validation. The validation is recorded on the Blockchain which is there for everyone to see. Since the currency is decentralized, there is no geopolitics involved. Since the transactions are publicly available, implementing counterfeit transactions is extremely difficult. Since the entire system is encrypted using cryptographic protocols, the transactions are secure. Most importantly, they are easily convertible into USD at the moment. Most “serious” cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, are limited in number protecting against inflation. Cryptocurrencies have been the darling of fin-tech observers since 2013 and we are presently in the midst of a cryptocurrency bubble with prices of every kind of cryptocurrency shooting through the roof.

This is because there are many black offices for solving exam questions!! These offices made online learning a trading stock that resembles the slave-market.
At least, the hybrid learning of both of them is better than the traditional one.

Hi all,
I'm using autoencoder to detect anomalies in my dataset
I used normal dataset for training and detect anomalies on fraud+normal dataset
As I observed so far, autoencoder performed the best at an optimal training dataset size, the ROC, PR AUC went low when the size of the training dataset is too big? Is this because of overfitting?
Please refer to the attached photo below
Thanks in advance!

Answer
In my opinion we can you find the autoencoder in RNN architecture, I suggest if you can you use CNN architecture, maybe that can you give the good results without the overfitting.
I hope that be Claire for you. @ Anh Tram Nguyen

Ase, inasmuch as this may be unfortunate, I guess, as a corrective measure, you can write to the editor of the journal to try and rectify the anomaly. Contacting the corresponding author and stating that you wish to be dissociated from being included in the publication could also provide a way out. Hope it is resolved. Good luck.

Medical fraud is not uncommon. But committing fraud during the times of crisis when you could lose your own life to a deadly disease is unprecedented in the history of medicine.
The recent controversy (Two Huge Covid-19 Studies Are Retracted After Scientists Sound Alarms, New York Times, June 4) has once again revealed an ugly aspect of medical profession, and has already put the world’s two “largest democracies” and the two “most revered” medical journals (NEJM and Lancet) to shame.
Why did reputed medical scientists become dishonest at a time when there was a 'more than ever' need to be more truthful and upright?
Were they only driven by their ambitions for more recognition? Or there is some truth in the allegations that “Big Pharma” were the real actors behind the scenes?

Answer
To me, where is the message again "NO CONFLICT OF INTEREST"?. I think the scientists involved should be dealt with while their sponsors should be thoroughly investigated, and if found guilty should be banned or licence revoked. There are many frauds even before the pandemic, part of the reason why the public suffer harms through fabricated study outcome and influenced pharma marketing strategy.

And confirmed Zwicky 1929 as a genius for discovering the mechanism.
And exposed CERN as risking earth and using fraud to camouflage this fact.
No one in science or Stockholm objects. One calls this a “conspiracy theory,” albeit a true one for once.
Turning 80 this month, I can afford being fearless and benevolent, combined.
Take care.

I don't know how we can disprove something without experimental data. The BB concept is "disproving" itself at is basis (singularity, no entropy,....). Alternatives are being "constructed" and by sure new things need to come in order to put a bit "order" at the conceptual level, in my opinion...

HIQ is the best name for it, composed out of HI and IQ. "HI" means "I am laughing" in the language of hams (radio amateurs) that I acquired 63 years ago. And IQ (for "I quit") stands for where people start non-answering further questions posed to them by psychologists.
But to be serious: The brightest man in the history of science, Fritz Zwicky 1929, proved that there was no Big Bang and no cosmic expansion. But even though he later-on was proven to in this way have first discovered the new fundamental-physics discipline of Cryodynamics, sister of deterministic Thermodynamics, no scientist on earth is currently ready to support his name in the context of cosmology.
This would not matter very much apart from letting the Nobel committee look a bit old, had his result not simultaneously proven true the fact that CERN's famous LHC experiment is betting earth against reason for 12 years in a row. As CERN itself leaves loudly undenied, by the way, since its latest planetary safety report LSAG from early 2008 carries no date. I called this fact CERNGATE but no one appears to get the point.
But fraud is, of course, infinitely more harmless than a collective inability to understand. Right?
