Overcoming subjectivism in measuring the novelty of dissertation research as a problem of conventionality by A. N. Litvinenko, Yu. A. Lozina

“…The current work substantiates the necessity to introduce a number of organisational and economic tools: video recording of the author’s speech at scientific conferences with the provisions to be defended for their comprehensive discussion; publication of draft conclusions on the dissertation of the Higher Attestation Commission’s expert council before its meeting; creation of an independent database of dissertation researches. It is concluded that the official publication of a scientific work as a civil-law me thod of its protection is an objective tool. …”

The Impact of Structural Funds on Regional Growth: A Panel Data Spatial Analysis by Micaela Antunes, Miguel Viegas, Celeste Varum, Carlos Pinho

“…Based on data for 96 EU regions during the period 1995–2009, a Durbin model with panel data is estimated in order to capture the effects of spatial dependence in both the lagged dependent variable and the independent variables. The results confirm the existence of conditional convergence and the importance of neighbourhood and spillover effects but do not detect the existence of positive impacts from structural funds.…”

The Effectiveness of the Student Facilitator and Explaining Learning Model Assisted by Ular Tangga Panah Media on Akidah Akhlak Learning Outcomes by Silviana Faizah

“…Pretests and posttests were used as data collection methods for both groups, and the data were analyzed using an independent sample t-test. The results showed a significant difference in the average posttest scores between the experimental group (M=82.47) and the control group (M=76.36), with a significance value of 0.021, indicating that the SFE learning model was more effective in improving Akidah Akhlak learning outcomes. …”
