Universities and journals increasingly rely on software tools for detecting textual overlap of a scientific text with the previously published literature to detect potential plagiarism. Although software outputs need to be carefully reviewed by competent humans to verify the existence of plagiarism, university and journal staff, for various reasons, often erroneously interpret the degree of plagiarism based on the percentage of textual overlap shown in the similarity report. This is often accompanied by explicit recommendations to the author(s) to paraphrase the text to achieve an “acceptable” percentage of overlap. Here, based on the available literature and real-world examples from similarity reports, we provide a classification with extensive examples of phrases that falsely inflate the similarity index and argue the futility and dangers of rephrasing such statements just for the sake of reducing the similarity index. The examples provided in this paper call for a more reasonable assessment of text similarity. To fully endorse the principles of academic integrity and prevent loss of clarity of the scientific literature, we believe it is important to shift from pure bureaucratic and quantificational view on the originality of scientific texts to human-centered qualitative assessment of the manuscripts, including the software outputs.

In the current higher education context, the development of academics’ competencies seems to be a crucial issue, with a strong focus on teaching, learning and assessment digital skills (Redecker & Punie, 2017). In connection with the framework of DigCompEdu (2017), it seems important to understand how to better sustain academics’ new professionalisation as Digital Scholars (Weller, 2011) in order to structure efficient and effective academic development models aimed at fostering new teaching skills required at university in the post pandemic era.

Głównym celem artykułu jest sklasyfikowanie i omówienie mechanizmów kreowania postprawdy w przestrzeni medialnej. Na wybranych przykładach scharakteryzuję i opiszę funkcjonowanie 10 mechanizmów, które wyróżniłem w trakcie prowadzonych badań. Podzieliłem je na mechanizmy związane z działaniami podjętymi przez nadawcę oraz wynikające z jego zaniechania. Ułatwi to zrozumienie, w jaki sposób te techniki są wykorzystywane w mediach oraz że kreowanie postprawdziwych komunikatów wcale nie musi być intencjonalne. Termin „postprawda” porównam ponadto z takimi pojęciami jak: manipulacja, zwodzenie (ang. deception) czy „wciskanie kitu” (ang. bullshit), chcąc odnaleźć między nimipunkty wspólne i różnice, co pozwoli zrozumieć złożoność problemu również na gruncie semantycznym.

Conspiracy theories present a relevant phenomenon in society and are studied within different disciplines. One of the aspects of analyzing conspiracy theories is understanding the pattern whereby social movements utilize the media to construct and spread those narratives. In that regard, social movements frame certain events as part of a conspiracy. By applying an international comparative approach, this study examines the media framing of events as a conspiracy theory in the USA and Egypt. The study focuses on political conspiracies targeting the local elite or political establishment as serving foreign enemies. Qualitative framing analysis is applied to analyze news segments (n = 140), 80 articles, and 60 videos from the Egyptian Islamist media and the Make America Great Again (MAGA) conservative media in the USA. The results show a huge similarity in the frames utilized by the media in both countries in constructing conspiracy theories. The Egyptian and American media constructed conspiracy narratives about claimed secret collusion between the elite leaders and foreign enemies. Whereas the Egyptian media morally framed the conspiracy as treason, the American media framed it as part of corruption. Moreover, the historical continuity in the Egyptian conspiracy theories was more obvious than in the theories in the USA. The empirical analysis shows that conspiracy theories are strategically used in the media to achieve certain political goals.

Extant research addressing the relations between TikTok videos and sustainable apparel consumption behavior is limited. This study explores these relations by testing the following theories and constructs: social consciousness, prior sustainable apparel purchasing, attitude toward TikTok videos (featuring sustainable apparel content), and theory of planned behavior. Results from an online survey supported the proposed conceptual framework, suggesting that cognitive, affective, and behavioral factors relevant to sustainable apparel consumption had a positive influence on sustainable apparel purchase intention.

Since 2012, the citizen science project 'Mückenatlas' has been supplementing the German mosquito monitoring programme with over 28,000 submissions of physical insect samples. As the factors triggering people to catch mosquitoes for science are still unknown, we analysed the influence of mass media reports on mosquito submission numbers. Based on a theoretical framework of how mass media affect citizen responsiveness, we identified five possible influencing factors related to citizen science: (i) project awareness and knowledge, (ii) attention (economy), (iii) individual characteristics of citizen scientists and targeted communication, (iv) spatial differences and varying affectedness, and (v) media landscape. Hypotheses based on these influencing factors were quantitatively and qualitatively tested with two datasets: clipping data of mass media reports (online, television, radio and print) referring to or focussing on the 'Mückenatlas', and corresponding data of 'Mückenatlas' submissions between 2014 and 2017. In general, the number of media reports positively affected the number of mosquito submissions on a temporal and spatial scale, i.e. many media reports provoke many mosquito submissions. We found that an already heightened public and media awareness of mosquito-relevant topics combined with a direct call-to-action in a media report title led to a maximum participation. Differences on federal state level, however, suggest that factors additional to quantitative media coverage trigger participation in the 'Mückenatlas', in particular the mosquito affectedness of the resident population. Lastly, media types appear to differ in their effects on the number of submissions. Our results show under which circumstances the media presence of the 'Mückenatlas' is most effective in activating people to submit mosquito samples, and thus provide advice for designing communication strategies for citizen science projects.

Este artigo representa uma parte das descobertas da pesquisa de doutorado acerca da relação entre gravidez e consumo. O que apresento aqui tem por objetivo discutir o imperativo da visibilidade1 como condição de existência na contemporaneidade. Nesse contexto, as gestações imbricadas pelo consumo fazem com que os bebês nasçam mesmo antes de seus partos. Os bebês existem como imagens, mediados também por objetos e midiatizados em suas vidas intrauterinas. A jornada seriada e digitalizada da gravidez é, ao mesmo tempo, elemento de pedagogização de consumo para um modelo de gestação e também objeto de entretenimento. Qualquer semelhança com o filme O show de Truman não nos parece mera coincidência. Tais descobertas foram possíveis por meio de metodologia que contou com pesquisa de inspiração etnográfica, em visitas aos quartos dos bebês em gestação; monitoramento de hashtags em redes sociais (Instagram e Facebook); e busca das mesmas palavras-chave em vídeos do YouTube. Para dar conta da interpretação do fenômeno analisado, são mobilizados os seguintes conceitos e bases teóricas: mediação, midiatização, visibilidade e estetização

[es] Los escenarios de comunicación vinculados a las redes sociales y los medios con base en internet han sido estudiados desde distintas perspectivas, y han sido caracterizados como digitales, reticulares e interactivos. Este trabajo se propone analizar expresiones vinculadas al catolicismo en estos circuitos y se concentra en la actividad de la cuenta del papa Francisco en Twitter en español (@Pontifex_es) y en las repercusiones entre los usuarios de esa plataforma que se reflejan on-line. Se busca dar cuenta de la producción de sentido, negociaciones, disputas y significaciones emergentes en torno a las publicaciones de la máxima autoridad de la iglesia católica. Para ello se analizan formatos digitales, particularmente tuits, imágenes y memes, considerando las representaciones que expresan de las relaciones entre religión y nuevas tecnologías; y las representaciones de la imagen del Papa, las creencias y prácticas religiosas.

This work aims to analyze expressions linked to Catholicism in these circuits and focuses on the activity of Pope Francis’ account on Twitter in Spanish (@Pontifex_es) and on the repercussions among the users of that plat form that are reflected online. It seeks to account for the production of meaning, negotiations, disputes and emerging meanings around the publications of the highest authority of the Catholic Church. For this, digital formats are analyzed, particularly tweets, images and memes, considering the representations that express the relationships between religion and new technologies; and representations of the Pope’s image, religious beliefs and practices.

Artykuł jest recenzją książki Sebastiana Jagielskiego Przerwane emancypacje. Polityka ekscesu w polskim kinie 1968-1982 (2022). Publikacja dotyczy wybranych filmów powstałych między Marcem '68 a wprowadzeniem stanu wojennego, charakteryzujących się formalną i tematyczną nadmiarowością, które autor umieszcza w precyzyjnie oddanym kontekście instytucjonalnym i społeczno-politycznym. Kategorię ekscesu, odczytywaną między innymi w kluczu teorii queer, autor traktuje jako symptom niewykorzystanego potencjału progresywnych ruchów kontrkulturowych zduszonych przez konserwatywną rewolucję początku lat 80. – symptom umożliwiający jednak skonstruowanie mniejszościowej narracji o polskiej kulturze, odmiennej od hegemonicznego modelu pamięci narodowo-katolickiej.

In this work, brand activism is defined as a strategy that seeks to influence citizen-consumers by means of campaigns created and sustained by political values. It involves a transformation in corporate communication management and social responsibility practices, which borrows from those of social movements to contribute to the social production of identity of citizen-consumers. This corporate political shift involves the use of messages, slogans and content based on final (of common interest) or instrumental (linked to the industry in which they are applied) political values. Political behaviour does not operate in a vacuum but is the response to a change in values of the young generations employing digital technologies and demanding a different behaviour from global firms. However, these political advertising practices have been heavily criticised in the field of political economy, insofar as it is contended that they are impostures lacking authenticity. Thus, 45 campaigns were analysed to determine the characteristics of brand activism in this new socio-political context. From the results it follows that this activist practice, of Anglo-Saxon origin, is a relevant trend in political communication because it aligns individual identity, the management of public assets and corporate action in the political sphere.
