I need a fine single researchable topic, which will be very brief, concise and objective to carry out within educational settings contrary to companies or industries. Because the latter are areas researchers always skewed towards the most.
The main functions of any instructor in any educational institution are teaching, research, extracurricular activities and community engagement.
Academic International conferences are great opportunities not only for researchers and scientists, but also for experts, policy makers, stakeholders and students.
There are several reasons for the academic staff to attend International conferences. There are so many great ways to learn and sharpen your research and teaching skills.One of the most ways that learn and sharpen your research and teaching skill is the conferences.
The anti-relativist Marco Pereira challenged me to have a scientific discussion with me. His original post can be seen here: https://www.researchgate.net/post/Challenging_Dr_Val_Rousseau_for_a_scientific_discussion
What he is not mentioning in his "challenge" is that:
- He started his attacks against me by commenting on my YouTube tutorial in which I rigorously prove that the so-called "Twin Paradox" is a non-existing paradox. My tutorial is available here: https://youtu.be/QFWF90bch3c
- After I proved him wrong, he fled and started attacking my tutorial on Quora and LinkedIn. There, I proved him wrong again.
- After being proven wrong, he deleted my answers on Quora and LinkedIn and blocked me.
So, my response to his "challenge" is how can it be a challenge since he cowardly deleted my answers and blocked me (which he admitted he did, see proof below) so that I can no longer defend myself?
Moreover, he claimed that my tutorial is a "copycat" of his. This is obviously a blatant lie. How can my video tutorial, which contains rigorous derivations of equations that he is not even aware of, which focuses on acceleration that he claims is irrelevant, and which concludes that there is no paradox while he claims the opposite, be a "copycat" of his tutorial?
Also, several people on Quora had raised suspicions about his list of credentials. After a while, all comments from these people strangely vanished.
Finally, Marco Pereira made attacks against my institution, Xavier University of Louisiana, and therefore implicitly against the African American community.
So, I challenge to him to explain:
- Why did he cowardly delete my comments and block me if his challenge is supposedly to have a scientific discussion with me?
- Why did he delete the comments of people who asked him to provide substantial proofs of his credentials? He could simply have provided proofs, like papers peer-reviewed and published with his claimed institution, right?
For reference, the attached screenshots show:
- His first attack against my tutorial (YouTube attack.png)
- His attack against Xavier University of Louisiana (Attacks against Xavier University.png)
- His list of claimed credentials (Marco Peirera claimed credentials.png)
- He admits deleting comments (Deleting comments.png)




In Kenya, the role of non-teaching staff in higher education institutions is often undervalued, despite their significant contributions to the academic environment. Empowering these staff members through professional development, training, and recognition can lead to substantial improvements in the quality of education. Non-teaching staff, including administrative personnel, librarians, and support staff, play crucial roles in student services, academic support, and institutional management. By investing in their skills and well-being, institutions can enhance overall efficiency, foster a positive work environment, and ultimately improve student outcomes. This research spotlight highlights the need for a strategic approach to empower non-teaching staff, ensuring they are equipped to meet the evolving demands of higher education and contribute to the institution's success. I invite brief responses through (henrykiptionyk@gmail.com) As i build on this research. See the whole description of my proposal and other prompts here:

Every time I want to upload a new item to my profile, I get asked about the authors. What bugs me is the drop-down list. Why should ResearchGate assume just because someone follows my updates, or are from my institution, they are also co-authors with me? Every time I want to do this, I am forced to scroll all the way past list of people I don't even know before I come across my own name as the author to be affixed to the upload. It is beyond irritating, it is annoying.
Please FIX this. The person who is uploading an item should be the SOLE author, unless in the upload he affixes ANOTHER author. REMOVE followers, watchers, etc., from the drop-down list of authors. It is creepy.
As this institution invited me to join as a nominated member. Therefore, my concern is that whether this group is scam or not. If anyone has any experience, please share his/her story with this SIGMA Xi.
I want to publish a research paper but don't want to list my graduate university as an affiliation. Journals require authors to select an affiliated institution/organization. How can I introduce myself as an independent researcher if no such option exists in the specified journal options?

I have seen several researchers who declare themselves as independent in their work affiliation. In a review article, for example, can an author appear as independent, i.e. without any affiliation to any institution? I am not taking into account those who have their own company, since in that case, that is their work affiliation.

There are few business activities more prone to a credibility gap than the way in which executives approach organizational life. A sense of disbelief occurs when managers purport to make decisions in rationalistic terms while most observers and participants know that personalities and politics play a significant if not an overriding role. Where does the error lie? In the theory which insists that decisions should be rationalistic and nonpersonal? Or in the practice which treats business organizations as political structures?
Whatever else organizations may be (problem-solving instruments, sociotechnical systems, reward systems, and so on), they are political structures. This means that organizations operate by distributing authority and setting a stage for the exercise of power. It is no wonder, therefore, that individuals who are highly motivated to secure and use power find a familiar and hospitable environment in business.
At the same time, executives are reluctant to acknowledge the place of power both in individual motivation and in organizational relationships. Somehow, power and politics are dirty words. And in linking these words to the play of personalities in organizations, some managers withdraw into the safety of organizational logics.

This question emphasizes the importance of establishing and using cumulative antibiograms at both institutional and regional levels, emphasizing the historical perspective of diagnostic microbiology. In the context of routine patient care, it addresses the shortcomings of large national data sets. The review highlights the importance of this low-cost, low-tech public health tool to slow antibiotic resistance. In therapeutic settings, cumulative antibiograms are indispensable instruments that provide regular profiles of patients' antimicrobial susceptibilities within an institution or across more significant geographic regions.
As the article written by Kavuvalu, BM., et al., (2022), there are multiple areas of blood banking related services that are being hindered by problems. A singular medical institution cannot solve a problem in this scale alone, in which it will need all the help it can receive. Additionally, government is linked to the maintenance of public health and safety to where it is responsible for healthcare advancement. In totality, what specific actions can the national or local government do to mitigate the problems present in the article that can also be seen in other third-world countries?

Hi researchgate community,
I am planing to differentiate neurons from induced pluripotent stem cells and the protocol recommends to add AraC (Cytosine β-D-arabinofuranoside) at some point to kill any cells that are still proliferating. That way one only has the neural cells that entered the post-mitotic state in the cell culture.
However, in my institution it seems quite difficult to use AraC as it is a zytostatika which demands specific waste management.
Does anyone know any alternatives that may get rid of proliferating cells or at least inhibit mitosis?
Thanks!

Dear Research Community,
As a newcomer to the field of research, I am seeking guidance on a specific matter related to affiliations in research papers. Consider a scenario where a student is currently enrolled in an online Master's degree program at a reputable institution, such as the University of Berkeley. This student is preparing to publish a research paper in a peer-reviewed journal.
My question pertains to the formatting of the "affiliation" section. Should it be presented as follows:
Emma Smith Department of Engineering Management University of Berkeley, Berkeley Masters Of Engineering in Engineering Management Email: emma.smith@berkeley.edu
Or would it be more appropriate to include the term "Online," like this:
Emma Smith Department of Engineering Management University of Berkeley, Berkeley Masters Of Engineering in Engineering Management, Online
Email: emma.smith@berkeley.edu
Should I make it more specific to write it in affiliation section as a online program
I appreciate your valuable insights and expertise on this matter

There are two different dependent variables (both data are ordinal).
Variable A is the "working performance of an institution in garbage management"
Variable B is "society participation, which is shown by the attitude toward garbage handling"
Should an institution name be revealed in a research proposal. Is it ethically right?
The argument of this short piece is that freedom of speech is a normatively governed institution which like roads and bridges needs to be maintained by government. The argument draws on writings of the conservative columnist George Will.
Freedom of speech and
the Consent of the Governed
H.G. Callaway
“Free speech,” wrote conservative political columnist George Will (an ex-Republican and “never-Trumper”) “is not free in the sense that it is free of prerequisites, it is not free of a complicated institutional frame”;
Free speech, as much as a highway system, is something government must establish and maintain. The government of a country without the rare and fragile traditions of civility, without education and communications capabilities, could proclaim freedom of speech and resolutely stand back. But the result would not be free speech. It would be mayhem, and the triumph of incivility.1
The chief idea here is that “free speech” is properly understood as a normative, political institution and a social-political aim established by constitutional government—and not a natural result of human activities lacking a needed “institutional frame.” On the contrary, lacking an appropriate institutional frame, according to Will’s view, the result is “mayhem” and “the triumph of incivility.” What, then, is the appropriate “institutional frame” of free speech? How are we to avoid a breakdown or degeneration of free speech into incivility and social-political mayhem? Free speech, among much else, is intended to register the presence and/or lack of public support for government: “the consent of the governed.” The people may, for instance, in the words of the First Amendment, “peaceably assemble” and “petition the government for
redress of grievances.” But free speech does not include the encouragement of or sympathy for violence and street mobs. “Mostly peaceful” demonstrations cannot excuse associated violence and disorder arising from demonstrations; and the leftward slogan, “No Justice, No Peace,” must be resolutely rejected. The establishment of justice comes through the law and in the courts of law. As Fukuyama has put a related point, the state “is an instrument for controlling violence, and one of the ways you do that is by shifting the locus of conflict from the streets into a parliament where you can argue and deliberate rather than fighting things out.”2 I
It is not that American history contains no periods and episodes illustrating related dangers, possible solutions and resolutions. The dangers have recurred—starting with the factionalism of the 1790’s and erupting again in the most severe form in the pre-Civil War period of the 1850’s. Though contemporary polarization has frequently been compared to that of the 1850’s,3 the Present situation present more plausibly invites comparison to the factionalism of the late Gilded Age and , the Progressive Era,4 or the divisions between right and left during the Great Depression of the 1930’s. Contemporary commonalities with the period from the Gilded Age through the Progressive Era and with the 1930’s include not only intensive political divisiveness and discord, but also very significant levels of social-economic distress—conditioned by prior periods of
large-scale economic expansion and dislocations: the Gilded Age of mass industrialization and the “roaring 1920’s” respectively.
As a country, the U.S. is held together in significant degree by its promise of economic opportunity for ordinary people. This promise has drawn immigrants from around the world over centuries; and the state of the economy has long been a chief indicator of up-coming election results. Situations perceived as a threat to broad economic opportunity evoke public discontent and in the extreme tend to set one demographic group against another. We depend on a free press to keep the public informed, to avoid rationalization of evils or sensationalizing reports. By that standard, large segments of the partisan media are not serving the public interest. There is a lack of needed balance between the commercial interests of the media and their duties to the public.
Looking for the institutional frame of free speech, we naturally first think of the Supreme Court and its decisions under the First Amendment. The First Amendment states that “Congress shall make no law ... abridging freedom of speech, or of the press.” It might seem initially that this amounts to a purely lassez-faire, renunciation of lawful control or regulation of speech. But it is not.
First of all, the courts have had to decide what counts as constitutionally protected speech. A good deal of this is familiar in terms of what is prohibited by law. You can’t legally stand up before an angry crowd, for instance, and urge the crowd to violence. Inciting riot is illegal. Speech is not protected where it evokes a “clear and present danger” of unlawful action. In consequence, you cannot legally incite a mob to violence or falsely shout “Fire!” in a crowed theater risking the immediate dangers of a crowd in panic. In certain contexts, speech is regulated in the public interest, chiefly where speech itself becomes a dangerous form of action. But that is not the end of the matter.
Though publicly financed colleges and universities are obligated by the First Amendment to protect freedom of speech on campus, these institutions may and do prohibit disruptive speech in the classroom as a condition of student attendance and educational participation. It is doubtful that higher education would be possible without provisions for the instructor’s control of classroom participation. Institutional prohibition of explicitly racist agitation also makes good sense in this context, since there is little or no reason to think that such speech in the classroom would contribute to improvement of the students or improvement of the (factually multiracial) polity. This makes at least as much sense as the instructor refraining from racial agitation. But
examining arguments for and against racism is something else again. Provocation in teaching has its just limits. Still provocation in private exchanges is limited only by the criterion of its presenting a “clear and present danger.”
There is no sense of constitutionally protected freedom of speech which removes the possibility of someone being offended by what is said in classroom discussion. In consequence, the expanding notion of speech as “micro-aggression,” amounts to a rejection of free speech. Since free speech and the freedom of the press are suited to aid the public in defending itself against the abuse of political power, the power to offend cannot be removed without gutting the democratic ideal of government by the consent of the governed. Constitutionally protected freedom of speech is not designed to make everyone feel comfortable, it is instead designed to keep a country and its inhabitants free.
What are the just limits of free speech on campus? Beyond saying in formal terms that one political or controversial opinion cannot be forbidden if its denial or opposite is allowed, it seems clear that there is a place in these decisions for appeal to existing moral and cultural authority, conceived as guiding good judgment. But this is quite distinct from simply catering or encouraging student hypersensitivities or treating students as “customers” to be pleased and who, like commercial customers are to be viewed as “always right.” Good judgment in the classroom, is definitely much called for, not administrative censorship!
The First Amendment closely links freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and freedom of the press is now broadly understood to include freedom of expression in radio, television and the newer electronic media. Regulation of the public media is a long established fact of federal law and court decisions. The laws regulating public media may easily be viewed as contributing to the “institutional frame” (or lack thereof) of press freedom; and they are consistent with the principle of the consent of the governed, insofar as they have been enacted by duly elected representatives of the people in accordance with the constitution. But it may be doubted that the current U.S. regulatory law has kept pace with rapid technological developments and their commercial exploitation. The “consent of the governed” as a principle of liberal, constitutional
democracy surely does not require the commercial imperative of mass participation (and mass commercial surveillance) via advertisement supported “free” internet subscriptions.5

Winning the war abroad, the Wilsonians lost their war at home. The administration’s war policies produced disorder instead of order, chaos instead of control.

According to Walters 2022, Civil Wars, “the most important driver” or “accelerant” of recent civil wars has been social media, as employed by radical “ethnic entrepreneurs” who foment resentment; and the factions most disposed to political violence are people with long histories in the country who are chiefly rural, and who resent displacement by immigrants and urban elites.
Constructive discharge is a legal term used to describe a situation where an employee decides to resign or leave their job voluntarily due to intolerable working conditions or a hostile environment. In such cases, the working conditions are so difficult or adverse that it is as if the employer has forced the employee to quit. Although the term "constructive discharge" implies a voluntary resignation, it is considered involuntary in a legal sense because the working conditions essentially compelled the employee to leave.
In the context of academics, constructive discharge can occur when faculty members or researchers decide to leave their academic positions due to factors such as:
- Hostile Work Environment: Persistent harassment, discrimination, or unfair treatment based on gender, race, ethnicity, or other protected characteristics can create a hostile work environment that pushes academics to resign.
- Lack of Support: Inadequate support from the institution or colleagues, such as limited resources, lack of mentorship, or insufficient opportunities for professional development, can lead academics to feel frustrated and unsupported.
- Excessive Workload: Overburdening academics with heavy teaching loads, administrative tasks, and research responsibilities without adequate compensation or time can lead to burnout and the decision to leave.
- Unclear Expectations or Inconsistent Policies: If the institution has ambiguous or ever-changing expectations, it can create a stressful environment for academics who struggle to meet unclear standards.
- Toxic Leadership: Poor leadership at the institutional level, including micromanagement, favoritism, or lack of transparency, can create a negative work environment and drive academics to seek employment elsewhere.
- Bullying or Professional Intimidation: Instances of bullying or intimidation from colleagues or superiors can create an untenable situation for academics, leading to their decision to resign.
- Salary and Benefits Issues: If academics feel their compensation or benefits are inadequate compared to their workload or industry standards, it may contribute to their decision to leave.
- Restrictive Research Environment: Institutions that impose significant constraints on research topics or methodologies may discourage academics seeking intellectual freedom.
In academics, constructive discharge can have detrimental effects on individuals and institutions. Losing talented faculty members or researchers can lead to a loss of expertise and hinder the institution's academic reputation. It can also have broader implications for the academic community and the pursuit of knowledge.
If academics believe they are facing a situation of constructive discharge, they may consider seeking legal advice or support from human resources to address the issues and protect their rights. Additionally, addressing the underlying problems and fostering a supportive and inclusive work environment can help prevent constructive discharge and create a positive academic environment for all members.

Dear colleagues! Do you have your students learn special textson each topic studied, and if so, how do you balance understanding and exact reciting? In my case, reciting will do the job (I teach English in a governmental institution), but I want to introduce as much understanding as I can.
Thank you for any responses!
I have a student satisfaction survey that measures satisfaction on a scale of five levels (1: extremely dissatisfied, 5: extremely satisfied). In the survey we report both the frequency distribution of the satisfaction levels and the average satisfaction level. The survey collects students' program os study besides other variables.
What is the best statistical test to use in order to do the following?
1. Compare the frequency distribution of students satisfaction in one department to the frequency distribution of students satisfaction in the whole institution.
2. Compare the average of students satisfaction in one department to the average of students satisfaction in the whole institution.
Since my data are considered categorical, I'm thinking of using non parametric tests like Kruskal Wallis test or Wilcoxon test to compare means. And use chi square test to compare distribution since this what I know in case of comparing multiple groups. But I'm not sure if comparing one group to the total is valid using the same tests.
Any suggestions?
