World will not bow to our control

Article Abstract:

As head of Liverpool University's new Centre for Complexity Science, Dr Robert Geyer has the job of overturning the belief that humans can hope to impose order and control the events that go on around them. Geyer argues that the time has come to recognise that the endless pursuit of predictability is pointless, and possibly dangerous, and that the time has come to try and learn to manage uncertainty. Liverpool University is the only university in the UK to try to coordinate complexity initiatives, which attempt to come up with solutions for dealing with uncertainty, and it leads complexity research in the UK.

Cyber sleuths hunt for a way to end plagiarism

Article Abstract:

The furore that has arisen from the apparent explosion of plagiarism in academic circles has yet to produce a consensus on the best way to prevent or detect copying and collusion in higher education. The Netskills Plagiarism one-day workshop, run by Dave Hartland of Newcastle University, is being launched in autumn 2003 in an attempt to help academics understand where the boundaries lie with regard to these issues.
