Md. Karimul Islam, Nishad Nasrin, Jannatul Naim et al. · 2023 · Humanities & Social Sciences Communications

Abstract Beggars have largely been leading miserable lives in the lower stratum of society since time immemorial.

We evaluated the effectiveness of this intervention (the rehabilitation of beggars) in the Khulna City Corporation (KCC) area, Bangladesh; we gathere

Salih Gülen, İsmail Dönmez, Fatma Betül Şengönül et al. · 2025 · SAGE Open

STEM education aims to develop 21st-century skills, support economic growth and promote gender equality in STEM fields. It is known that gender stereotypes play a significant role in the formation of STEM identity. The most important factor preventing some high school-level female students from pursuing STEM careers is their lack of participation in STEM activities. Female students in high schools have limited opportunities to explore or learn about STEM careers due to the emphasis on verbal and religious courses in their curriculum. However, it is known that women can work more autonomously i

Psychological science from 'publish or perish' to 'trust but verify'

Keljanović Anđela D. · 2021 · Zbornik Radova Filozofskog Fakulteta u Prištini

At the time when social psychologists believed they could be proud of their discipline, there was the devastating news that Diederik Stapel had committed a major scientific fraud. This event coincided with the start of the discussion on trust in psychological findings. It was soon followed by the report of a series of nine studies that failed to replicate the 'professor's study'. These replication results were astounding due to earlier reports of successful replications. Due to the crisis of confidence in the results of field research, the Open Science Collaboration subsequently replicated 100
