“Opposition #Leader #PeterDutton says former #HomeAffairs Department secretary #MikePezzullo 🤡, who was sensationally sacked from the public service in 2023 for #misconduct and later stripped of his Order of Australia honour, “should have a role to play in the future of this country” if the #Coalition wins the election.”

They say this is Leadership.

'Social media influencers are fuelling an increase in misogyny and sexism in schools, according to a new poll by a teaching union.

Almost three in five teachers said they believe social media use has had a negative effect on behaviour in schools, the NASUWT poll of 5,800 teachers in the UK found.'

There's a correlation between sexual #misconduct accusations and a drop in citations for the scholars accused, while that's not the case for fraudsters. In both cases there is a drop in publications, and the puzzling thing is that - looking at the raw data in the original paper doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0 - the trend seems to begin before the accusations emerge. It raises the question of in which direction does the causality go.

Trump Deletes Database Of Federal Police Officer Misconduct

ncja.org/crimeandjusticenews/t

NCJA · Trump Deletes Database Of Federal Police Officer MisconductThe first national database tracking misconduct by federal police officers has been shut down by President Trump, deleting a resource that experts said improved public safety by helping to prevent bad officers from jumping to new agencies and starting over with clean records. The database was proposed by Trump in 2020 after the police killing of George Floyd. It wasn’t created until two years later when an executive order from President Biden launched the National Law Enforcement Accountability

“We have lost countless records of disciplinary actions, terminations, complaints & settlements related to #police #misconduct,” Davis said. “Officers with serious misconduct histories often move between departments. Despite its limitations, it addressed a real problem — rehiring officers who had been fired or resigned for misconduct … its removal sends a clear message about the new administration’s priorities.”

A 15-year-old went to a Brooklyn parade. The NYPD wrongly accused him of a mass shooting

> In private, police backpedaled almost immediately. After meeting with Lee and his lawyer, they declined to bring charges, then quietly removed his photograph from their X and Instagram accounts. But they have not publicly acknowledged the retraction, ignoring the repeated pleas of Lee and his mother, who say their lives remain threatened by the falsehood.

A quotation from Chamfort

Madame de Tencin said that intelligent people often erred in their conduct because they could never believe that the world in general is as stupid as it is.
 
[Mme de Tencin disait que les gens d’esprit faisaient beaucoup de fautes en conduite, parce qu’ils ne croyaient jamais le monde assez bête, aussi bête qu’il l’est.]

New study: "Undeclared [use of] #AI seems to appear in journals with higher citation metrics and higher article processing charges (#APCs), precisely those outlets that should theoretically have the resources and expertise to avoid such oversights."

arXiv.orgSuspected Undeclared Use of Artificial Intelligence in the Academic Literature: An Analysis of the Academ-AI DatasetSince generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools such as OpenAI's ChatGPT became widely available, researchers have used them in the writing process. The consensus of the academic publishing community is that such usage must be declared in the published article. Academ-AI documents examples of suspected undeclared AI usage in the academic literature, discernible primarily due to the appearance in research papers of idiosyncratic verbiage characteristic of large language model (LLM)-based chatbots. This analysis of the first 500 examples collected reveals that the problem is widespread, penetrating the journals and conference proceedings of highly respected publishers. Undeclared AI seems to appear in journals with higher citation metrics and higher article processing charges (APCs), precisely those outlets that should theoretically have the resources and expertise to avoid such oversights. An extremely small minority of cases are corrected post publication, and the corrections are often insufficient to rectify the problem. The 500 examples analyzed here likely represent a small fraction of the undeclared AI present in the academic literature, much of which may be undetectable. Publishers must enforce their policies against undeclared AI usage in cases that are detectable; this is the best defense currently available to the academic publishing community against the proliferation of undisclosed AI.

arXiv.orgDetection of metadata manipulations: Finding sneaked references in the scholarly literatureWe report evidence of a new set of sneaked references discovered in the scientific literature. Sneaked references are references registered in the metadata of publications without being listed in reference section or in the full text of the actual publications where they ought to be found. We document here 80,205 references sneaked in metadata of the International Journal of Innovative Science and Research Technology (IJISRT). These sneaked references are registered with Crossref and all cite -- thus benefit -- this same journal. Using this dataset, we evaluate three different methods to automatically identify sneaked references. These methods compare reference lists registered with Crossref against the full text or the reference lists extracted from PDF files. In addition, we report attempts to scale the search for sneaked references to the scholarly literature.

Public pressure on President Biden is the only way to restore Leonard Peltier's freedom.

It is also crucial to finally address the FBI #misconduct and constitutional violations that have deprived Peltier of his #freedom for so long.

In solidarity with #EarthDefenders in the U.S. and worldwide, we must demand justice for Leonard Peltier!

Question for higher ed archaeology types concerning the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) and how your University is making sure it is in compliance.

Is it true that most Universities that are in a position to adjust their operations to comply with NAGPRA are putting significant and (some would say) unjust heat on members of their archeology faculty and staff?

I'm trying to see if there's a pattern: by putting their archaeology faculty in a jackpot, scapegoating them for past University compliance failures, they are "demonstrating" that they are taking NAGPRA seriously. The more they punish their faculty, the better they look to the feds and their peers. (Even though NAGPRA is a University compliance issue, not a faculty compliance issue like IRB or FCOI.)

I look forward to responses, expecting that they will be anonymized to protect the guilty and innocent.

If I have to create stories” to get the media to cover the impact of immigration, J D #Vance said,
“then that’s what I’m going to do.”

This move is really a form of what’s been called “#sanewashing”
—it 💥repackages one of MAGA’s racist lies as merely an effort to prompt a good-faith policy debate. 💥

And it has been widely analyzed as damage control, as an attempt to put positive spin on a lie after getting caught out for it.
❌ But if Vance went into all this knowingly, then it’s time for more scrutiny of the underlying position he is self-consciously articulating here
—that lying in this manner is acceptable to force discussion of a supposedly overlooked public problem
—on its own terms, as its own act of #grotesque public #misconduct.

🔥If it is OK to level such a despicable, dehumanizing smear at a vulnerable minority population to corral media attention in this fashion,
then what sort of lying and propaganda about an exposed, assailable, encircled out group would not be justified?
🆘Does Vance’s code of political ethics have any limiting principle that you can discern?
