Academic dishonesty in the Middle East: Individual and contextual factors
No full textLittle work has been done on academic dishonesty in the Middle East. This research investigates the nature of the relationship between contextual factors and academic dishonesty using a sample from three private universities in Lebanon, and compares the results to a sample from seven large universities in the US. Using the basic model of McCabe et al. (Research in Higher Education 43(3):357-378, 2002), we found additional evidence for the strong role perception of peers' behavior plays in understanding student decisions concerning academic integrity. Cross cultural comparisons of attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors regarding academic dishonesty were pivotal in this research. Our results support the view that Lebanese university students are strongly influenced by the norms of the collectivist society in which they are raised as compared to the more individualistic society found in the United States. © 2008 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.Al-Harthi A.

Cross-Cultural Meta-Analyses
No full textIn the enormous collection of cross-cultural data that have been published during the last few decades it is difficult to perceive patterns. There is a clear need for systematizing the vast amount of cross-cultural studies and for developing models that explain cross-cultural differences in psychology. Two methods of cross-cultural meta-analysis can be distinguished. First, the instrument-based method of comparing data for one instrument across countries is suitable for instruments which have been administered in many countries. Second, a domain-based meta-analysis used a thematic domain from which culture-comparative studies are sampled instead of one specific instrument or method

A large-scale biomass bulk terminal
No full textThis research explores the possibility of a large-scale bulk terminal in West Europe dedicated to handle solid and liquid biomass materials. Various issues regarding the conceptual design of such a terminal have been investigated and demonstrated in this research: the potential biomass materials that will be the major international trade flows in the future, the characteristics of these potential biomass materials, the interaction between the material properties and terminal equipment, the perspective from terminal logistic process, and the terminal configuration. To this day no such a terminal exists yet. Therefore, the results from this research are a first step that will help the future development of such a terminal.Marine and Transport TechnologyMechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineerin
La raffigurazione dell'Arcangelo Michele nella monetazione medievale
No full textQuesto articolo nasce dall’unione delle relazioni tenute dall’autore nel corso dei convegni “Langobardorum Nummorum Doctrina” (2018) e “In Sanctorum Nummis Effigies” (2019). Dopo un’attenta ricerca viene mostrato il percorso dell’iconografia micaelica nella monetazione medievale e il suo cammino attraverso l’Europa. L’effige del santo raffigurata in primis dai Gepidi e poi da Longobardi e Bizantini, si diffonderà in tutta l’Europa medievale, dal Regno di Sicilia fino alla Danimarca. Il lavoro, frutto non solo di una ricerca numismatica, ma anche storica e artistica, vuole essere un punto di partenza di uno studio più complesso che l’autore sta compiendo sulla raffigurazione del santo nelle monete medievali.This article was born from the union of the reports given by the author during the conferences “Langobardorum Nummorum Doctrina” (2018) and “In Sanctorum Nummis Effigies” (2019). After careful research, the path of Michaelic iconography in medieval coinage and its journey through Europe is demonstrated. The effigy of the saint depicted primarily by the Gepids, and then by the Lombards and the Byzantines, spread throughout medieval Europe, from the Kingdom of Sicily to Denmark. This work, the result not only of numismatic but also of historical and artistic research, is intended to be a starting point for a more complex study that the author is carrying out on the depiction of the saint in medieval coins
Introduction
No full text© The Author(s) 2019. This chapter introduces the conceptual underpinning and aims of the book, and outlines its content. It discusses how, although the doctorate represents the most advanced form of adult education and qualification, and considerable effort, research and training has been expended on the process of completing a doctorate, there has been far less interest or focus on the lived experience of doing one. It describes how, and why, this book focuses on the human dimension that underpins the highest level of formal learning achievable. This chapter also outlines the volume’s unique organisation around the themes and concerns that students themselves have identified as centrally important to successfully completing their research degrees. The introduction describes how, from assessing the self to working with others, from building resilience to developing networks, and considering how ethical conduct permeates a researcher’s practice, this book takes readers-both students and supervisors-on a journey towards successful doctoral learning. It also describes how, while each section is framed by ideas and concepts suggested by the editors, who are experienced doctoral supervisors, the core content of the book is purposely student-driven and authored, in order to provide an authentic account of the doctoral experience
