Dear friends and colleagues

Hello

I would like to inform you that ethical codes in the field of dentistry have been compiled for the first time in Iran and the article is attached. It is a pleasure to review and guide what can be done to institutionalize them in the country.

Thanks

Dr. Amirahmad Shojaei

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:

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.

Technical question for Research Gate Administrator.

Dear all,

I am presently looking for any facility or institution to carry out one or more of these analyses for my research in Nigeria: X-ray diffraction analysis, Particle size analysis and thermogravimetric analysis. If you have these in your institution and/or are willing to collaborate on my research kindly reply.

P.S: My research falls under Material Science, Civil Engineering and Architecture

Thanks!

We are interested in hearing your thoughts on the services that would make your academic journey more engaging, convenient, and supportive. Consider services that could leverage technology, promote career development, prioritize mental health and well-being, foster a sense of community, or address any other aspect you believe would enhance your experience as a student.

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?

Mineral Processing engineering play crucial role in institution like university in shortage of fresh water

i hope to get a alternative way other than using a freeze dryer

Since I have left educational institution, I do not have anyone to review my papers.

It would be thankful if someone could give review for my past 4 papers I have published and give some advice. Thank you.

There have been growing concerns on the advent of social media having an adverse effect on students learning. Students are seen spending more time on social media than their books in most parts of Africa and other parts of the world.

If he has data on a field study conducted by a government institution, and I have obtained permission to access, analyze and publish this data, then what type of study it is?, knowing that the data pertains to a survey of nearly 10,000 school students to detect infection with the Coronavirus

Please give your opinion.

Thanks in Advance

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!

I would like to withdraw the following article from EPH - International Journal of Mathematics and Statistics: KNOWLEDGE OF FLEXIBLE MENTAL COMPUTATION OF PRE-SERVICE ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS TEACHERS UPON ENTRY TO UNIVERSITY. What procedure do I follow? Thank you.

I left my previous university with Georgetown University, how can I revise it to reflect my new university?

To enroll in any academic course, a student generally needs to satisfy minimum entry requirements. What's your opinion if your institution accepts students who do not fulfill the requirements for other benefits?

The data that is obtained from the institution database is to analyze the GPA and CGPA of 1000 students. The attributes obtained are demographic but no behavioral, income, etc. What type of data mining technique can be used to analyze this type of attributes and obtain patterns from the analysis?

Please do give reference in regards to how the techniques can be applied.

Thank you! Appreciate it.

I want to quantify the hydroxyaromatic acids such as 2,5-dihydroxyterephthalic acid, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and benzoquinone, and hydroquinone with HPLC.

The HPLC column I have in my institution is Poroshell 120 EC-C18.

what are the conditions of HPLC analysis to verify the listed material?

It is not uncommon to move from one place to the other as fa as working institutions is concerned. This could occurs due to many factors. Someone worked for three years at MIT, and at Harvard University currently. His/her affiliation is Harvard University at present.

If he/she want to publish a research work done at previous work institution (MIT), which institution is used as affiliation for the researchers to be written in title page of the research work? The current or previous institution?

Thank you in advance!

Sci- hub is providing all the required articles free of cost. But it can't be accessed through the institution's internet. Don't you think it is the best alternative for individual subscriptions to different databases? Shouldn't it be tagged as ethical in the era of open source?

Update: Frontiers has an email specifically for research integrity concerns. I just forwarded this to them. If the person is real, maybe they've already bought their way onto a few articles and Frontiers can find them.

Hi All,

I got this really weird email. One way or another, it is bad news and I am not going to respond to it. It reads like the opening of a scam, in which case it is bad and highly illegal. There is also a part of me that wonders if the person is serious, in which case I am concerned that there may actually be a wider problem with people buying authorships. The email doesn't trace back to any institution I can find and I Googled the supposed "name" of the person who sent it and couldn't find a record of them as a faculty member or published psychologist anywhere. Should I contact the journal in question in case someone is buying authorships and let them handle it or should I assume this is the academic version of a Nigerian Prince scam and that they'll ultimately end up asking dumb/unscrupulous academics for Amazon gift cards to be reimbursed? Weirdly, I am less worried about the later than I am about the former. Here is the body of the email:

"Dear Professor!

to greet!

Sorry to bother you!

I want to publish some papers in " Frontiers in Psychology". Can you help me? I can provide a thank you fee!

For example, I will give you a $2000 thank you fee for helping me write articles. For example, if you add my name to your article, I will give you a $1000 thank you fee. Or I can help you pay for APC.

I know this email is presumptuous, but my friends and I need to publish dozens of papers every year. If you can help me, we can cooperate for a long time. I'm not kidding, I'm very sincere!

If you are offended, please forgive me!

Look forward to your reply!"

Please can anyone advice on how I can gain easy access to these databases as my current institution is not registered on most of them

JSTOR, EBSCOhost, Science Direct, ProQuest, Wiley, and SAGE search engines.

Scopus and web of sciences databases

Please share your views and professional advice and help educational institution to set global academic parameters.

Hello, I am a researcher who is planning to join a conference with ISER (Institute for Scientific and Engineering Research) as the organizer. In this regard, I would like to ask, is this institution credible and trustworthy? Has anyone ever attended a conference from that institution and the submitted paper was actually published? Thank you

Dear reseachers,

Regarding the performance of public managers, is the management style that predominates in your institution more compatible "bosses" or "leaders" attitudes?

Comment your perception, please!

Thank you for contributing!

Most of the academic staff (Teaching and Non Teaching) in educational institutions does not have complete information of institutional strategy documents, standard policies and procedures. If they might have seen it then they think it is of no use. If the institution strategy is to bring changes in staffs overall behaviour then institution has to provide new and attractive incentives and top management have to monitor the performance of staff minutely.

Institution strategy will be successful if they list core priorities rather than operational plans. Marketing plan concentrate much more on pump and show, but its impact on institution internal community cannot be justified and will be questionable. Through marketing pump and show approach institution can attract mass but if it not been matched by the internal community then it will impact the goodwill of the institution.

Dear Author, We received one revision and trying to find second reviewer. To this day we send request for 9 experts in this field (Including authors suggestions). They declined or ignored our invitations. We must search until someone agreed to take on this assignment. If you want to suggest someone else, you have to do it according to the following guidelines: Authors can suggest reviewers but they cannot be from the same institution as the authors, and at least one cannot be from the same country. With best regards,

Does anyone know if this institution has a contact email or who is in charge of the invertebrates area?

I need information about the collection of arachnids deposited by J. P. Rudloff.

Background of Research

In your institution, when recruiting a assistant professor, are patents valued at the same level as scientific paper?

We are a public institution operating within the bureaucracy of a university in the Philippines and we are planning to organise a research conference sometime in late 2023 in a scenic and touristic location in the country. We are looking for a partner institution that can assist us in implementing this. Our requirements are: 1. The partner institution (preferably a university) is involved in entrepreneurship promotion and small and medium enterprise development. 2. The partner institution must have organised or is organising a research conference in the same field with conference proceedings indexed in either Scopus or Web of Science.

Any lead would be highly appreciated.

Time is changing. strategies of teaching -learning, leaderships and management are innovating day to day. In this global scenario every body has to update himself as an international professor. Hence, is there any University/institution providing such short term training/FDP to require these needs?

Various community out reach programs which have ripple effect and macro level scope which academic institutions can take up to work on project model, to be a socially relevant organization, especially in Nigeria in the present scenario.

Hello,

I would like to use the Academic Stress Scale (Rao & Pallipadu, 2014) but could not find the authors' contact information or their institution. Does anyone know how to reach out to them?

Thank you so much.

I intend to start a research to contribute to the improvement of processes in the public institution where I work. I would like to get suggestions for tools and methodologies applicable to the mapping and management of internal processes.

Dear researchers

I am a freelance researcher and do not work in any institution. The journal to which I send an article asks for a personal address. I just specify the country, but it doesn't accept it. It asks for a detailed personal address. What statement is academically correct?

Yours sincerely

Our institution is planning to put up a cell culture laboratory, however, we are wondering how we could take advantage of this to get revenues to allow the lab to become sustainable. Any ideas?

I can't find this information in datasheet, neither in Human Cell STR Profiling Databases (DSMZ, ATCC). I would like to compare the STR profile found in my institution with other laboratories... Thank you!

Hi, I'm the founder of "Museo dell'Informatica Funzionante" Computer Museum in Palazzolo Acreide, ITALY and I'm asking how to add it as an institution here. Thank you

For free, or ar a low budget price.

I am not sure if it’s the same at every institution, but our supervisor only reads our draft once, or each section once.

I overthink, and fear I would do really bad, and when the draft is returned to me, I would need to do so many edits. So to prevent this, if another academic read and confirmed I was on the right lines, I would feel better.

Kind regards

Is age an important factor in obtaining a PhD? or is it entirely dependent on the discipline of study, area, and/or offering institution?

Most often, we hear that someone is too young or too old to hold a PhD in certain fields, such as social sciences (too young), science, and engineering (too old). A quick look at the statistics suggests that this idea is supported in some way, as seen below.

31.3 in the life sciences

30.2 in physical sciences

32.4 in the social sciences

30.5 points for engineering

40.5 years of education

34.5 points for humanities

36.1 Other non-S&E fields

Although there are a few exceptions, such as some senior citizens graduating with a PhD at the age of more than 80, the tendency appears to be as stated above.

What are your thoughts on the link between age and Postgraduate education, as well as the discipline of study?

Dear all,

I started a project to study local natural resource management systems. One of the aims is to measure the readiness of indigenous peoples' institutions. I need some input and suggestions on suitable variables and methods.

Why are universities not adopting LaTex for reports and theses?

I'm finishing my thesis at WUR while on exchange at the ETH Zurich.

My supervisor at ETH and I use R markdown for the data analysis part, while my WUR supervisor and my peer-reviewing group use microsoft word or google docs. Clearly, it's annoying to continuously need to download and re-upload and it even causes formatting issues.

I discovered OverLeaf, an open-source collaborative cloud-based LaTeX editor used for writing, editing and publishing scientific documents, that has add-ons for scientific writing. It partners with a wide range of scientific publishers to provide official journal LaTeX templates, and direct submission links.

I'm wondering why I never heard about Overleaf despite both ETH and WUR having an institution subscription.

It would be so much easier to use it for group reports, peer-reviewing, papers and posters.

When your right is digested concerning any issue of normal life, you turn to the police and the court. From this point, I have the following concern. When an indexed journal accepts the publication of an article and charges the publishing fee, then it publishes the invalid copy. Whenever you contact them, they ask to send the corrections again. Please guide me, how can I acquire my right as a researcher from this journal?

Is there any institution concerned with such concern related to publication and the relationship between the author and journal?

How can I introduce a new institution?

I am working on composites for FDM, my work requires mixing of additives and filament fabrication.

I have recently changed my laptop. I have access to EndNote from my institution. I have installed EndNote in my new laptop with the information that was is in EndNote account in my previous laptop. I tried to import all the recorded references into my new account. But, I have not been able to do so in any of my attempts. It would be a great favour if anyone could suggest me how to import or read the reference of my earlier EndNote with that of in my new EndNote. TIA.

Hi everyone!

I hope you're doing well.

I'm about finishing a book about diseases in farmed warmwater finfish, mainly pompanos (Trachinotus spp.), yellowtails (Seriola spp.) and red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus).

I would appreciate very much if you could send me a couple of pictures of pathogens/pathologies that you have found in the past.

Of course, I'd mention the you/institution at the foot of the image, respecting image rights. If you'd like to collaborate, this is my email: gillan@fau.edu

Thanks very much!

Hello everyone. I am a Research Scholar in Behavioural entrepreneurship/innovation/management. I want to submit my paper in inderscience journal. But they have a strange requirement of proposing four international experts in the subject of the paper who are not from my institution and are not members of the editorial board in order to consider my paper. Kindly suggest me how can I find these experts? or if anyone in these areas that can help I will appreciate that.

Every higher education institution has its publication award/ incentive system. Some use the Quartile category, some Clarivate Analytics. But the application differs from university to university. I have also seen Impact Factor base calculation of incentive payment for academic publication in some universities. My request here is that could you please share the publication award system that you use in your institution? The thing is that there are many methods to calculate it, but we don't know which one is much more systematic and beneficial for our institution, too. Thanks in advance for answering my question.

I will perform flow cytometry analysis for M2 and M0 macrophages. The staining process will be performed at another far institution the next day. So according to storing the tubes. Can I collect and prepare the cells in tubes with the washing buffer solution and store them at +4C in the refrigerator for 24h? During transferring the cells and antibodies to another location, can I put antibodies on ice with the cells?

The institution in which I work acquired the spectrophotometer but does not have integrated software.

I appreciate the support

Different metrics, including publications count, received citations, normalized citation impact, etc, can be used to assess a particular department performance. However, the researchers within the departments contributes to different disciplines. Are there a recommended set of metics for measuring research performance across departments within the same institution?

What sorts of robust quality measuring tools do exist to support institutional-self-evaluation in a university context?

I am an independent self-funded toxicologist not affiliated with an institution and according to the US DHHS' Office of Human Research Protection, I don't need IRB approval to conduct human studies, because I am self-funded. However, I am having trouble finding journals that will publish my work without IRB approval. Do you know of any journals that don't require IRB approval for human studies?
