Writing an Effective Medical Manuscript and Avoiding Errors for Smooth Publication

Writing for a biomedical journal is an important part of completing a research project. It is vital to publish original articles or other types of articles in various medical journals. This can be a challenging process, and it requires a sense of responsibility. The process starts with conceiving an idea, forming and conducting the research, and writing about the results, before finally getting it published. Before beginning to write a paper, the language must be properly structured and technical details must be included. Additionally, a cover letter must is sent to the journal's chief editor, mentioning any ethical considerations.

Harnessing Artificial Intelligence in Academic Writing: Potential, Ethics, and Responsible Use

Dear Editors, I read your editorials with interest [1,2]. Artificial intelligence has become increasingly popular in recent years. Moreover, it is seen that valuable comments made on the article focus on issues such as potential harms in the academic use of artificial intelligence, publication ethics, and the ontological position of artificial intelligence [3-6]. As with other technological developments in our life, artificial intelligence seems to be increasingly present in our lives [7]. The use of artificial intelligence in article writing is a current topic of discussion. Writing an article from scratch with artificial intelligence doesn't seem quite right. The fact that artificial intelligence doesn't have an entirely independent thought structure, and that it obtains its information only based on the web, could lead to plagiarism. Also, it will not be fully understood whether it provides correct references and whether it violates the privacy of personal data. Furthermore, we do not find it correct to accept it as a co-author. Authorship carries a responsibility that an AI tool, no matter how advanced, cannot bear. Conversely, artificial intelligence will be incapable of assuming responsibility. So, should we stay away from artificial intelligence in this case? We believe the answer to this question is no. We can use artificial intelligence while writing an article, and it can facilitate our work. Finding a title after writing the article is an important issue. It must be impressive, and some journals have a character or word limit for the title. Artificial intelligence can help us in finding a title. Artificial intelligence can also assist in creating an abstract. Each journal has different rules about the abstract section. When rejected from one journal, it's necessary to create a new abstract for another journal. Artificial intelligence can speed up this process. When the article is ready, it needs to be checked for grammar and spelling rules. Artificial intelligence will be very useful in this situation. Preparing a good cover letter is important to attract the editor's attention. Artificial intelligence will assist in writing the cover letter. Although we think that artificial intelligence cannot be a co-author and cannot be used to write an article from scratch, we believe that we can benefit from artificial intelligence while writing our article. Using artificial intelligence will save us time. It will also help us write higher quality articles. In conclusion, artificial intelligence is now a part of our lives. Instead of avoiding it, we believe that we need to take advantage of artificial intelligence in a way that will facilitate our work. Sincerely yours,

Unethical behavior at work: the effects of ethical culture and implicit and explicit moral identity

ABSTRACT The literature on ethical behavior has called for studies that investigate the interaction between individual and contextual factors. This study examined whether moral identity interacts with ethical culture to predict unethical behavior at work and whether implicit and explicit moral identity affects unethical behavior distinctively. Our sample consisted of 238 participants who took part in an experiment involving an in-basket exercise that measured unethical behavior. Ethical culture was manipulated via a cover letter from a fictitious company’s CEO, and moral identity was measured through a self-report scale and the Implicit Association Test (IAT). Findings indicate that implicit and explicit moral identity were negatively associated with unethical behavior and that organizational culture moderated the relationship between moral identity and unethical behavior. The results have theoretical and practical implications for understanding the interaction of predictors of unethical behavior by combining automatic and deliberate measures of moral identity with ethical culture.

 The process of making a marriage cover letter which is done manually by having to come directly to the local RT or RW at the Pengadengan village office currently creates an obstacle for prospective brides who want to register their marriage, especially during a pandemic such as at this time who are required to carry out physical distancing in order to breaking the chain of spread of the covid-19 or corona virus. The purpose of this research is to create a web-based online marriage cover letter making system. It is hoped that this system will be able to simplify matters of making marriage cover letters without having to come to the village or sub-district office. The system development method that will be used is the Waterfall method. This method is still often used because it has a sequential flow and is suitable for developing software with unchanging specifications. This model provides a software life-flow approach starting from the analysis, design, coding, testing, and support stages. This application is tested using the black box test, which is testing the software in terms of functional specifications. Testing is intended whether the input and output functions of the device comply with the required specifications. The results of this application test concluded that the expected functions were all successful and accepted in accordance with the wishes of the research objectives.

Quality Analysis of Public Services for AK-1 Application at Disnakertrans Banten Province with Fuzzy Servqual

The Manpower and Transmigration Office, also known as Disnakertrans provides direct services to the community, including the issuance of the AK-I cover letter commonly known as the "Kartu Kuning”. A significant issue has emerged at the Disnakertrans, where the process of obtaining an AK-1 takes more than 20 minutes, surpassing the average time expected by job seekers. Additionally, daily quotas for AK-I issuance are restricted due to Covid-19 regulations. To assess and enhance service quality for AK-I issuance at Disnakertrans Banten Province, a service satisfaction method is imperative. This study employs the Fuzzy Servqual method. The research reveals a noteworthy negative gap in the reliability dimension, particularly concerning two attributes. The first attribute (Question 7) addresses the ability of officers to guide job seekers through the AK-1 application process. The second attribute (Question 8) pertains to the accuracy of officers in entering data according to the specified requirements. These findings underscore the importance of addressing issues related to the reliability dimension, particularly the officer's ability to guide the application process and ensure accurate data entry. By focusing on these aspects, Disnakertrans can make targeted improvements to enhance overall service quality and meet the expectations of service users.

Determinants of health-conscious consumers’ intention to adopt fitness apps

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing consumers’ intention to adopt health fitness apps. The target population for this study were current users of health fitness apps. The data collection process was completed using a Google e-mail form with a cover letter for the convenience of customers, wherein 308 respondents were the final sample size. Data were collected from current members of health clubs and fitness centers in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Most of the respondents were males (56%, n = 308), whereas females were 44%, n = 134. Five-point Likert scale was used, where ‘1’ means ‘Strongly Disagree’ and ‘5’ ‘Strongly Agree’, to clarify the item-wise questionnaire. SPSS data analysis software for research purposes was used to evaluate the hypotheses. Cronbach Alpha (α) value was used to justify the reliability of the variables. Four items measure price value; perceived performance, health consciousness, facilitating condition, hedonic motivation are measured by two items; self-efficacy – by three. The results show that the selected six determinants positively and significantly affect consumers’ intention to use health fitness apps. Overall, these variables can explain 55.50% of the variance in predicting behavioral intentions to adopt health fitness apps. Furthermore, this results could provide significant clues to health fitness app developers that can severely influence users to adopt health fitness apps for their wellbeing.

The significance of computer technologies in detecting plagiarism in scientific works

The article analyses problematic issues regarding the importance of using computer technologies in detecting plagiarism in scientific works. It was determined that the problem of plagiarism in science is not only a matter of legislation, but a manifestation of disdain for scientific ethics and moral standards by the scientists themselves. The issue of academic plagiarism must be solved comprehensively and with joint efforts, by applying effective mechanisms to prevent plagiarism.
 There is no single, complete, comprehensive and generally accepted definition of the category of plagiarism. The essence of plagiarism is the assignment of authorship to someone else’s original (literary, artistic, scientific) work or its part.
 The development of information technologies creates conditions for detecting illegal borrowing. Special computer programmes and online services check works for originality much faster. The essence and nature of computer technologies, their importance in detecting plagiarism in scientific works are studied. Positive and negative points in the application of computer anti-plagiarism technologies were identified, and an appropriate assessment was given to them.
 It is substantiated that plagiarism has a certain personification and specificity in various spheres and branches of human activity. The anti-plagiarism system almost does not take into account official parts of scientific works (cover letter, introduction, references to normative legal acts, conclusions, list of used sources) and evaluates them as plagiarism. The algorithm of the anti-plagiarism service must take into account constant stylistic turns and peculiarities of certain branches of science and technology. We believe that the results of new interpretations of scientific work should not be completely new. It is noted that checking with online services does not always reveal translations of texts or borrowings from editions not published online.
 Accordingly, the results of information processing with the help of specialized anti-plagiarism programmes and services cannot independently be circumstances that allow making reasonable conclusions about the presence or absence of plagiarism in a scientific work. Anti-plagiarism services and programs really help in detecting plagiarism as an additional tool for searching for possible matches of the text, followed by their analysis and processing by a specialist.
 But the situation with plagiarism still requires the use of plagiarism checking services (even with all their shortcomings). However, no matter how attractive and easy-to-use anti-plagiarism services are, it is necessary to do some work to improve information culture and respect for the copyrights of others.

Categorial Conflict between Phrasal-Prepositional Verbs and Infinitives: The Great Complement Shift

The development of grammatical forms and synchronic effects has captured a considerable interest of researchers across the globe. The research of this phenomenon is done to understand how certain linguistic forms arise and interact with other forms. Literature also discloses that a number of studies has addressed grammaticalisation of prepositions, which has somehow resulted in categorial conflict. However, there is dearth of literature that deals with /to/ to distinguish between phrasal-prepositional verbs and infinitives as a way of resolving the conflict. Again, some of the L2 students confuse complementation of /to/ in the phrasal-prepositional verb look forward to with that of the infinitives. They fail to draw a line of demarcation between the two constructions. Therefore, this qualitative study seeks to explore the status of /to/ in the phrasal-prepositional verb and infinitive clauses. It also identifies the category label of /to/ and describes its complementation. The study purposively and conveniently extracted data from Scott’s (2022) compilation of both application and cover letters. Following the Minimalist Program, the study reveals that /to/ in both the phrasal-prepositional verb and infinitives have gone through the process of grammaticalisation. It is noted that in the phrasal-prepositional verb, /to/ is still a preposition while in the infinitive clauses, it has gone through the great complementation shift known as decategorisation and extension, hence variation in category labelling. The study also presents that the structures of the phrasal-prepositional verb and the infinitive clauses vary based on the theory and concepts adopted. As a result, it is concluded that due to grammaticalisation of /to/ in both phrasal-prepositional verb and infinitive, their complementation differs.

What do editors check for before peer review

Editors want to publish honest reproducible data without data fabrication/ falsification/ duplication/ salami slice or plagiarism. Submissions need to comply to international guidelines and reporting standards. Thus, editors check submissions before they proceed to peer review. Initial screening consists of checking whether: the submission within the aims and scope of the journal, the cover letter is not for another journal, the manuscript complies with the guide for authors, the level of English is up to the standard expected by the journal and there is no significant overlap with other publications [iThenticate screening]. Some publishers have mechanism in place to check for submission of the same manuscript to other journals at the same time to avoid duplicate publication. Further assessment includes that of authorship, conflict of interest, funding, ethics and consent, clinical trial registration and data sharing. With regard to authorship the role of each individual author needs to be detailed. For case reports, privacy, safety and distress or harm to participants and others involved in patient care needs to be assessed.

Situated Learning Theory: The Application of Grammatical Structure (Gerunds and Infinitives) in Developing EFL Students’ Cover Letters

Focusing on integrating teaching and learning grammatical structures in real actions and practices has been critical and one of the cornerstones in the Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL) domain. This paper emphasizes exposing EFL learners to actual tasks and opportunities they can benefit from in their future careers, along with understanding the meanings and functions of gerunds and infinitives. The situated learning theory was used to frame the current study on EFL students taking the grammar 1 course. The number of students was 60, but the study sample was seven students, which selected randomly. Students were guided to use gerunds and infinitives to develop a cover letter for one of the agencies they selected rather than apply those rules to artificial tasks. The sampled data of the qualitative research was used to analyze students’ cover letters by investigating two main concepts. First, their use of gerunds and infinitives; second, the elements of writing professional cover letters. The findings showed students’ accurate usage of gerunds and infinitives in different phrases, such as opening, closing, and body paragraphs, to present their educational background and experiences. Thus, the findings showed that the cover letters that have been written by the participants were not the best, but they achieved the general guidelines of creating cover letters and applied the targeted rules. EFL teachers are recommended to enhance their students with variety of authentic tasks that integrate the use of grammatical structures and the practice of using these structurers in real tasks.

Will ChatGPT bring a New Paradigm to HR World? A Critical Opinion Article

Since ChatGPT was first publicly available in November 2022, it has sparked attention worldwide. Some believe that ChatGPT might revolutionize our lives. There have been interesting discussions surrounding ChatGPT. In this chance, we explore the potential use of ChatGPT in the HR industry. For HR managers, the use of AI in HR has traditionally been limited to simple tasks, but ChatGPT's ability to understand and respond to natural language input opens up new possibilities for automating more complex HR tasks such as interviewing and onboarding. On the other side, ChatGPT can also help job seekers to get their dream jobs. To begin with, ChatGPT can be employed to find out the benefits and working environment in a specific company, although it should be noted that ChatGPT's answers cannot be blindly trusted. ChatGPT can also prepare a cover letter, a motivation letter, an application email, etc. Job seekers can even ask ChatGPT to act as an interviewer in an interview mockup. We present ChatGPT utilization examples in the HR world. In this article, we also conducted a mini experiment to investigate whether, in its current state, ChatGPT can generate a convincing cover letter that is able to fool HR specialists. The results showed that among the 5 study participants, none of them were able to correctly guess all of the letters, with the average correct answers of only 2 of 4 cover letters. Lastly, we also discuss the potential benefits and challenges of using ChatGPT in the HR industry in this article. Nevertheless, we argue that ChatGPT introduces a HR world’s paradigm shift.
