On Academic Integrity. A Book Review

2025-12-18T09:42:18+02:00

This review examines Antonio Sandu's work, ”The Architecture of Integrity. Beyond Plagiarism. A Handbook on Academic Ethics and Integrity for Students and Researchers”, a comprehensive volume that reconceptualizes academic ethics through an affirmative-appreciative paradigm. Moving beyond prohibitive approaches focused solely on plagiarism prevention, the work establishes integrity as a positive ethical value grounded in coherence between professed principles and conduct. The volume's most significant contribution addresses the ethical challenges posed by artificial intelligence integration in higher education, introducing concepts of post-plagiarism, ideatic plagiarism, and the necessity for methodological transparency. The author proposes institutional policy frameworks for ethical AI utilization and reconceptualizes the professorial role as intellectual mentorship rather than information transmission. Aligned with Romania's 2024 Framework Code of Ethics, the work critiques scientometric evaluation systems and advocates for equity-based academic assessment, offering essential guidance for navigating contemporary ethical dilemmas in education and research.

“The Transatlantic Civilizational Arc of Christianity” – a New Geostrategic Concept for the 21st Century Order of Civilizations

2025-12-01T13:45:55+02:00

Within this paper, we’ll explore some hypothesis and perspectives about the evolutions of the complex contemporary international system, influenced by political vision of what we call “the neo-realist strategic direction”. We’ll take into account a complex, multi-level kind of political doctrine, not yet fully explored and analysed by the academic world. We’ll propose in this paper the strategic concept of “building a Transatlantic Arc of Christianity”, as a necessary modality to respond to specific challenges originating from what it is announcing to become “the paradigm of the century” (“the clash between civilisations” paradigm). Neo-realist elements of this strategic line impose such approach and also, there are shaping relevant strategic concepts, appropriated to be implemented within this type of paradigm.

Resuscitation Narration. Some Comments Written afterwards in the Margins of if “If I Were Told the Experience of Medical and Surgical Resuscitation...” The Resuscitation Notebooks of Benoît Misset. The Ethical Powers of Writing

The experiment that we are going to report here on new terms and about which we are going to reflect from a different perspective was already discussed in 2022 in the LUMEN journal itself (Clero, 2022). However it is not at all a question of repeating what was already said nearly three years ago. A few words are necessary for the reader who is not already familiar with this article and even for a reader who may have read it some time ago. Let us reassure the reader from the outset, however: this knowledge is not essential to read this article. But we must provide some clarifications. The experiment we are interested in is not entirely new. It had already taken place in France in around twenty hospitals that have an intensive care unit and there are reports of it in the medical literature, which echo the words of patients who have come out of it rather well (Clero, 2022). Psychiatry had also already encouraged the patient to keep a logbook, of which only he-and perhaps his psychiatrist- was aware. But this is where we almost immediately encounter the difference between the structure of these notebooks initiated by B. Misset and the previous structure (essentially used in psychiatry or neuro-psychiatry): unlike what happens most of the time in psychiatry, the intensive care patient, often being artificially put to sleep to be able to tolerate the care, is not capable of keeping a logbook for himself.

The Possibility of Metaphysics in the Kantian System

2025-10-03T10:50:03+03:00

Kant seeks to establish metaphysics as a rigorous science grounded in synthetic a priori judgments, those judgments that extend knowledge without relying on experience. He argues that metaphysical knowledge must rest on principles that are both universal and necessary, akin to those in mathematics and natural science. By critically examining the conditions that make experience possible (such as space, time, and the categories of the understanding), Kant aims to demonstrate how metaphysics can yield genuine knowledge. This paper summarizes Kant’s critical project to secure metaphysics as a science, explaining his distinction between analytic and synthetic judgments, the role of a priori conditions of knowledge, and the way this framework aspires to scientific status. The implications of Kant’s model are also considered, including its influence on contemporary philosophy and interdisciplinary thought. (Kant, 1998, 21)

Psycho-Pedagogical Fundamentals Regarding Educational Counseling of Students in the University Environment

2025-11-19T10:02:02+02:00

The concept of cooperation has acquired increasing relevance in contemporary pedagogical and psychological research, particularly within the context of university counselling. This paper examines the evolution of cooperation from its traditional behaviourist definitions to its current multidimensional conceptualisation, integrating cognitive, affective, social, motivational, and behavioural dimensions. The study aims to clarify how cooperation has been theorised over time, to identify the key dimensions relevant to the counselling process, and to analyse the ways in which cooperation influences the counsellor-student relationship. A qualitative conceptual methodology was employed, based on an analytical review and synthesis of classical and contemporary literature. The findings indicate a clear shift from viewing cooperation as a visible, structured behavioural pattern to understanding it as a dynamic process shaped by internal psychological mechanisms, interpersonal dynamics, and contextual factors. The results further show that cooperation significantly enhances the quality of university counselling by fostering psychological safety, strengthening communication, facilitating engagement, and improving the effectiveness of interventions. Additionally, cooperation supports the creation of personalised, context-sensitive strategies that enhance students’ academic adjustment and personal development. The paper concludes that cooperation is a foundational mechanism in university counselling, essential for building trust, sustaining motivation, and supporting positive educational outcomes. These insights contribute to current theoretical debates and provide a useful framework for practitioners seeking to optimise their counselling practice.
