Mouse click plagiarism: can technology help to fight back?
No full textMany students arrive at university accustomed to adopting the internet as their primary source of information, but with no prior experience of referencing. This raises issues of the reliability and validity of digital sources, as well as bringing new opportunities for cheating. The internet has made plagiarism quicker and easier; a student simply needs to click the mouse to copy and paste sections of text. The author is interested in the process of academic writing and how, if the text is constructed by a couple of clicks, learning may be limited. This small scale study explores students’ perceptions, knowledge and experience of referencing, plagiarism and the text-matching software, Turnitin. Using an online survey and focus groups, the practitioner endeavours to see if technology can be used to deter plagiarism and enhance the student learning experience. The study concludes that, while students superficially understand plagiarism, they struggle with the importance and conventions of referencing. Students require (and expect) early and appropriate educational support to adopt the cultural norms of higher education and learn the process of reading, analysing, synthesising and acknowledging the work of others. Turnitin has limitations, but it does appear to be effective at deterring plagiarism and has the potential to be a learning tool, if introduced and used appropriately

No full textA Study of the Stability Constants of Some Transition-Metal Complexes of (Ethanediylidenetetrathio)Tetraacetic Acid
No full textThe main problem attacked in this investigation is the nature of the bonding in transition metal-ETTA [(Ethanediylidenetetrathio)tetracetic Acid] complexes, whether it occurs through sulfur, oxygen or both. The author feels the bonding occurs through both sulfur and oxygen and in a tetrahedral configuration a- bout the central metal ion. | In this investigation the synthesis of both 1st and 2:1 metal to ligand ratio complexes of transition metals Cobalt (II), Nickel (II), Copper (II), Iron (II), Manganese (II), and Zinc (II) with ETTA were attempted. The complexes were all isolated from an aqueous solution of the ligand and the metal carbonate. The complexes were sent out for C, H, and S analysis to confirm the nature of the complexes.ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio
Co-financing Hollywood film productions with outside investors : an economic analysis of principal agent relationships in the U.S. motion picture industry
No full textCo-financing arrangements in which investors from outside the motion picture industry become co-owners of the completed films are a common phenomenon in Hollywood. Kay H. Hofmann analyzes the conflicts of interest and the organizational problems that may arise between the experienced major studios and investors with comparably low industry expertise. Guided by principal agent theory, the empirical analysis provides evidence for adverse selection and moral hazard. Based on his findings, the author develops solutions that are not only relevant for investors but also for film producers who rely on the long-term availability of external funds
