Thou shalt honour thy sources
Article Abstract:
Plagiarism is considered unacceptable in British higher education but many first-year undergraduates lack a clear understanding of what constitutes plagiarism. Plagiarism is often unintentional, frequently involving the use of material without acknowledgement. Many students entering higher education have been taught that summarising or paraphrasing work from secondary sources is perfectly acceptable. Universities must lay down clear rules on plagiarism and referencing, ensure that students understand them, and establish a fair and consistent method of enforcing them if they want to tackle an apparently widespread problem.

Abundance of airborne Penicillium CFU in relation to urbanization in Mexico City
Article Abstract:
Penicillum spp. is not significant outdoor aeroallergens in Mexico City, but complete exposure cannot be evaluated until the sampling of indoor environments has been done. Air sampling was concurrently done at an urbanization index and air pollution level during a period covering dry and rainy seasons. An Andersen two-stage microbial sample was used to detach culturable fungi and malt extract sugar. Seventy percent penicillum propagules were collected in the small-particle fraction of the eight species known.
