“…Since the disciplinary committee protocols were publicly available, female students could potentially become aware of such punishing inequity and it might trigger the neutralizing effect in further occurrences of VAI. Other research (e.g., Ives et al 2017 ) failed to demonstrate gender differences in VAI.…”

“…VAI involve one of the following four general categories of behavior (which will be discussed in the next section): cheating, plagiarism, fabrication of information, or facilitation of such misconduct (Pavela 1997 ). For instance, in a study of more than a thousand university students in Romania (Ives et al 2017 ), about 95% reported having engaged in one or more VAI. This phenomenon continues to preoccupy researchers and educators in the hopes of reaching a greater understanding of its determinants and of finding effective methods of reducing its scope.…”

This study aimed to address the gap in the literature through a comprehensive comparison of different types of violations of academic integrity (VAI), cheating, plagiarism, fabrication and facilitation (Pavela in J College Univ Law 24(1):1-22, 1997), conducted in analog versus digital settings, as well as students' and faculty members' perceptions regarding their severity. The study explored differences in perceptions regarding students' VAI and penalties for VAI among 1482 students and 42 faculty members. Furthermore, we explored the impact of socio-demographic characteristics (ethnic majority vs. minority students), gender, and academic degree on the perceived severity of VAI. Presented with a battery of scenarios, participants assessed the severity of penalties imposed by a university disciplinary committee. Furthermore, participants selected the penalties they deemed appropriate for violations engaged in by students, including: reprimanding, financial, academic, and accessibility penalties. All participants tended to suggest more severe penalties for VAI conducted in traditional analog environments than for the same offenses in digital settings. Students perceived all four types of penalties imposed by the disciplinary committee to be significantly more severe than faculty members. Moreover, findings demonstrated a significant difference between faculty and students in both perceptions of the severity of VAI and in relation to suggested punishments.

The first year of life is an essential phase for all psychological areas in the child development. The key competences, vital for all development processes of the child, focus on the communication and the socio-emotional competencies, mostly because the infant is strongly dependent of adult care environment. The quality of the primary caregiving relationship can configure the cognitive, affective and social development of the child in the first year of life. This study is aiming to identify the objective and psychological factors related to the development of early communication competences of the child in the first year of life and to identify the best predictors of these competencies, in order to conceptualize the best strategies to help the parents in their parental educational tasks and to prevent any delays in infant development. The study identifies a complex system of factors influencing the infant's communication skills, the prerequisites of communication being in relation both with the individual characteristics of the child in the first year of life, mainly the temperament and resilience, and with maternal and paternal factors, such as emotional maturity, patterns of primary attachment of the parents and the mother/father reflective functioning.

“…First, the legacy of a relatively high level of instruction took some time to wear off. It was not until the 2000s that stagnation or decline became obvious to even domestic observers (The Economist, August 7th, 2012; Ives et al, 2017;Abbott, 2011Abbott, , 2012. Second, government and education officials worked hard to project an image of success in Western-type education, both at home and abroad (Tomusk, 2000).…”

We discuss the political economic development of Romania since 1989, with a focus on the evolution of higher education (HE). First, we place this evolution in the context of demand for HE by prospective students and employers, focusing on the low demand for skills in the MNC-dominated Romanian economy. Second, we provide empirical insight on indicators of quality, enrolment, and funding as key features of the HE system. We argue that Romania has evolved into a dependent market economy entrenched in a low-skills equilibrium, and that the weakness of the HE system is a key element in this process.
