Significant evidence shows that human activities have a great role in contributing to poverty across the global states. The increasing rates of mortalities and morbidities witnessed over the recent past have necessitated the consideration of poverty a multi-dimensional phenomenon that must be eliminated with collaborative actions by the states involved in the process (Odeku, 2014)
(West Virginia University Admissions and Records "Academic Integrity/Dishonesty Policy") Challenges for universities and other institutions are great and the demonstration of change is surely called for as more and more students are restricted by time and ability, and as available sources for academic dishonesty continue to grow. Other types of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to cheating, as in using another's work in class, copying another's homework and the like (Del Carlo & Bodner 47) and also not contributing appropriately to group work
That is if the penalties are not viewed as just, there may be a common disrespect for the law and the level of cheating could actually rise. (Galles, Graves, Sexton, Walton 718) Proper citation includes many styles that are inclusive of the vital information about the source from which the information was taken
"Some recent statistics presented in the book: 80% of high school students admit to cheating, 95% of students who cheat say they don't get caught, and 34% say their parents never talk to them about cheating." (Gomez 42) The statistics associated with higher learning are more difficult to come by but the statistics of younger students can give us a good indication of the prevalence of the problem and the breadth of the danger in the future
Other types of academic dishonesty include but are not limited to cheating, as in using another's work in class, copying another's homework and the like (Del Carlo & Bodner 47) and also not contributing appropriately to group work. (Nicolay 43-51) but the main challenge of academics in the modern environment is clearly plagiarism as it ease and availability continue to grow almost by the day
As with any form of academic dishonesty and there are more than a few, plagiarism can sometimes be a vaguely understood term and the degrees to which an individual can engage in plagiarism are also varied. (Pincus & Schmelkin 96-97) (Sutherland-Smith 1-13) This work will compare and contrast the policies and procedures of two institutions of higher learning on the issue of academic dishonesty, and more specifically plagiarism

Perhaps the most quintessential example of this is couples that seek children even though they are physically unable to bear their own biological children. These people would include same-sex couples, people that are infertile and people that are too old to have children reliably and healthily without fear of birth defects and so on (Benagiano, Carrara & Filippi, 2012)
The author makes a fairly controversial suggestion right off the bat by suggesting that teachers are on the forefront of fostering and shaping mindsets and learning about sexuality. While this may make some parents recoil, the author makes the point that how the teacher acts as a male or female, how they react to sexual banter between the students, whether the teacher is male or female in general as well as other things make the topic of sexuality while teaching very poignant and important even if it is mostly (if not entirely) via nuance and subtle messaging (Brick, 1991)
IT can be used to create web-based information systems, where surveys are conducted online. According to the research, "most of the information collecting campaigns moved from the real world to the virtual environment or online" (Litan et al
By using the information gathered by psychology and the theories within it, marketers get a much better understanding of their target consumers. Ultimately, "this will help determine where to spend time and money" (Ogden 277)
There is a lot more than technical skill that is required in order to make a convincing case to community leaders, establish links with other community leaders and institutions, and establish a network of support groups and stakeholders because of their importance in the transformation. The emergency manager needs to be trained and educated with main focus being on skills relevant for more strategic emergency management (Britton, 1999, p24)
Currently emergencies and disasters are characterized with terror bombs with threats like nuclear bombing also being present, therefore the emergency managers need to have the necessary knowledge that will equip them to deal with these incidents. This is particularly so especially those concerned with technology which is characterized by its evolving nature (Buckle, 2003, p
Acting or making decisions are no longer possible under uncertain situations or even those of total ingorance. There fore adequate decision making methods and management during ignorance should be incorporated in sustainable strategy for handling with disasters (Falkiner, 2005, p
Accreditation is a process by which standards for performance are set. Generally, it's a process through which an organization approves an institution or program as having met certain accepted, pre-determined criteria that serves as a test of the level of quality of service provided (Houle 1980, p
Practitioners display achievement of a level of expertise, thus legitimizing their actions, which are an indication of emergency management achieving professionalization. By achieving legitimization at societal level, emergency management becomes exclusive and keeps others from performing similar activities (Larson, 1978, p
The importance of knowledge is applicable in this approach because of the emphasis on ignorance elimination and banishment so that foreknowledge can be gained of possibilities of the future. The second approach is referred to as resilience where effective coping with dangerous situations as they come forth is involved and the bouncing back process from difficulties which are not anticipated (Mileti & Passarini, 1996, p

Other respondents have been found to have a high activity of preparedness for those individuals who brochures about the risks of flooding compared to who did not receive. They also displayed a greater degree of flood awareness (Neal, 1993, p
