We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
1. Academic Honesty
(academic integrity)
Honesty – the quality or condition of having or
displaying strong moral principles; fair dealing;
truthfulness; integrity
- Oxford English Dictionary, 2017
Most of the following text is adapted or taken from IB publications:
• Are you completing your IB assignments honestly (2012)
• Academic honesty in the IB educational context (2014)
• Academic Honesty in the Diploma Programme pamphlet
2. Academic Honesty
(academic integrity)
IB learners strive to be principled:
• We act with integrity and honesty, with a
strong sense of fairness and justice, and
with respect for the dignity and rights of
people everywhere.
• We take responsibility for our actions and
their consequences.
3. Academic Misconduct
(academic dishonesty)
• Academic misconduct is a behaviour that
results in a student gaining an unfair
advantage in one or more assessment
components
• or a behaviour that disadvantages other
students
4. Academic Misconduct
(breaches of IB regulations)
• Plagiarism
• Collusion
• Taking unauthorized material into an exam
• Stealing exam materials
• Disruptive behaviour during an exam
• Disclosure of information about the content
of an exam paper within 24 hours of the exam
5. Plagiarism
Plagiarism is defined as the representation,
intentionally or unwittingly, of the ideas, words
or work of another person without proper, clear
and explicit acknowledgment.
Of all cases investigated during exam sessions
(on average):
• 52% concern plagiarism
3 - 4% of work randomly sampled is plagiarised
6. Collusion
Collusion is defined as supporting academic
misconduct by another student, for example
allowing one’s work to be copied or submitted for
assessment by another.
Of all cases investigated during exam sessions (on
average):
• 25% concern collusion
7. Exam Misconduct
Examples of misconduct during an IB exam include:
• taking unauthorized material into an exam
(whether the student uses it or not)
• behaviour that disrupts the exam or may
distract other students
• communicating with another student during the
exam.
Of all cases investigated during exam sessions (on
average):
• 12% concern misconduct during an exam
13. How you can be caught
• Invigilators
• Seating plans & written notes on all activities
during the exam are taken
• Review of exam papers to check for possible
plagiarism / collusion / undue assistance
• Software to spot plagiarism from the internet
• Cactus 64 – software to compare candidates’
work
14. How can you & your teachers check
your academic honesty?
16. Caught!
In May 2015
• One candidate had 40 pages of economic
notes on his smartwatch: he can never sit an
IB exam again
• ToK essays – there were 19 hits across
candidates: they failed ToK and therefore
their Diploma
17. Caught!
In May 2016
• 1.15% of candidates were investigated; 0.33%
received a penalty (488 candidates)
• One twitter case and one on Facebook
discussing the English A paper within 24 hours
of exam – students got an ‘n’
19. Reflection
How many times have you submitted work using
material from the internet and not stated where
it came from?
Did you plagiarize on purpose?
Or were you just ignorant? Does that make it
okay?
20. But I didn’t know…
The IB expects students to know
• what is and is not acceptable behaviour in the
exam room
• how to cite material originally developed by
others
• A student’s intent cannot therefore be taken
into account when investigating alleged
misconduct (“I didn’t know” is no excuse)
21. What you must do
• Make clear which words, ideas, images and
works are not your own.
• Give credit for copied, adapted and paraphrased
material.
• If you paraphrase an idea—that is if you restate
it, but alter the exact wording—you must still
cite that source.
22. What you must do
• You must cite the source of images, maps,
charts, tables, data sets, musical compositions,
movies, computer source codes and song
lyrics—any material that is not your own.
• Make clear where the borrowed material starts
and finishes; this can be done by using
quotation marks, using an “opening” indication
and a closing page number.
23. What you must do
• All sources cited in the text must also be listed in
the bibliography (or reference list / list of works
cited)
• and all sources listed in the bibliography must
be cited in the text.
