Data falsification and question on academic integrity

In this commentary, we argue that plagiarism is not a new problem in academic publishing and data falsification in recent times has received a great attention globally. Due to lack of literature, the objective of this study is to evaluate data falsification and academic integrity. Accordingly, the study presents the academic misconduct (Falsification/Fabrication of data and Concerns/Issues About Data) case of Professor James E. Hunton, a former top ranked accounting professor from Bentley University. The study shows how research fraud/data falsification activity in the academic world lacks honesty and morality. The study offers some recommendations for the detection of plagiarism and academic misconduct. In the age of the Internet and digital era, Crossref, iThenticate, the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) would help to detect plagiarism. However, the question remains on detecting data falsification in the academic world.     

The significance of meaning. Why IPBES needs the social sciences and humanities

The term “biodiversity” is often used to describe phenomena of nature, which can be studied without a reference to the socially constructed, evaluative, or indeed normative contexts. In our paper, we challenge this conception by focusing particularly on methodological aspects of biodiversity research. We thereby engage with the idea of interdisciplinary biodiversity research as a scientific approach directed at the recognition and management of contemporary society in its ecological embedding. By doing this, we explore how research on and assessments of biodiversity can be enhanced if meaning, aspiration, desires, and related aspects of agency are methodically taken into account. In six sections, we substantiate our claim that the discourse on biodiversity (including the IPBES (Intergovernmental science-policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services) debate) is incomplete without contributions from the social sciences and humanities. In the introduction, a brief overview of biodiversity’s conceptual history is provided showing that “biodiversity” is a lexical invention intended to create a strong political momentum. However, that does not impede its usability as a research concept. Section 2 examines the origins of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) by way of sociological discourse analysis. Subsequently, it proposes a matrix as a means to structure the ambiguities and tensions inherent in the CBD. The matrix reemphasizes our main thesis regarding the need to bring social and ethical expertise to the biodiversity discourse. In Section 3, we offer a brief sketch of the different methods of the natural and social sciences as well as ethics. This lays the groundwork for our Section 4, which explains and illustrates what social sciences and ethics can contribute to biodiversity research. Section 5 turns from research to politics and argues that biodiversity governance necessitates deliberative discourses in which participation of lay people plays an important role. Section 6 provides our conclusions.     

Social work and hospitality: An oral history of Edith Stolzenberg

ABSTRACT

Edith Richman Stolzenberg (1913–2004) was the first woman to be hired as a social worker in Hartford Public High School in Hartford, Connecticut. In a career that spanned 60 years and much of 20th-century social welfare history, she was motivated by the social justice tradition of her Jewish upbringing and the religious value of hospitality to advocate for children and families. As we enter a harsh new era for social services, this oral history explores the radical possibilities for integrating social work goals and religious values.

文化视域中的美、日、中企业伦理比较——以处理群己关系的价值观为中心

美国文化中的个人主义、日本文化中的集团主义以及中国文化中的家族主义分别对其所属的企业伦理产生了多方面的影响,并形成了相应的企业伦理模式。从处理群己关系的价值观角度看,三国的企业或者强调个人利益,或者强调集团的利益,或者强调家族的利益,不一而论。克服家族主义企业伦理模式所固有的消极因素,借鉴美国的个人主义企业伦理模式与日本的集团主义企业伦理模式的积极因素,参照现代企业制度的相关要求,打造具有民族特色和时代特色的企业伦理模式,是采用家族式管理制度的中国企业的必然选择。

先秦时期爱的伦理思想探析

通过对先秦时期儒、道、墨三家爱的伦理思想的历史考察,揭示仁爱——爱人、慈爱——爱自然和兼爱——爱天在先秦展开为一个合理的逻辑进程并表征为普遍的伦理观念。三家之爱兼括了其在人与人、人与社会层面的所有形式,并扩展到自然、宇宙中,从而使先秦时期爱的伦理思想的内涵更加丰富。但是,爱的伦理观念在先秦并未独立出来并表述一个相应的伦理世界,爱都有所依附,这就带来了人们对人类最基本感情——爱的理解的困难。
