Recommendations; INDEX 330 $aThis book offers a long overdue account of the wide range of corruption and cheating practices in Russian higher education, including bribery, financial fraud, clientelism, plagiarism, exam cheating, and much more. Serghei Golunov ruthlessly uncovers the recent social trends that have created a favourable ground for such malpractices and evaluates the efficiency of measures taken against corruption and fraud by various actors. Although corruption and cheating are so wide-spread in most Russian universities that the real value of their diplomas is very questionable, these problems are prioritized neither by higher education managers nor by foreign actors such as partner universities, participants of the Bologna process, or the authors of global university rankings. 330 1 $a"In his latest book [Serghei Golunov] provides a very detailed analysis of the dramatic situation at Russian universities. [...] Why is corruption in Russian higher education so endemic and what can be done about it? The author describes some official efforts - including reforms involving public punishment such as the arrest of university rectors - and suggests some new remedies, including (online) social activism. [...] this book is very well done." 410 0$aSoviet and post-Soviet politics and society. 606 $acorruption 606 $acheating 606 $aRussia 606 $auniversities 606 $aeducation 606 $abribery 606 $afinancial fraud 606 $aclientelism 606 $aplagiarism 606 $aexam 606 $aBologna process 615 4$acorruption 615 4$acheating 615 4$aRussia 615 4$auniversities 615 4$aeducation 615 4$abribery 615 4$afinancial fraud 615 4$aclientelism 615 4$aplagiarism 615 4$aexam 615 4$aBologna process 676 $a378.1958 700 $aGolunov$b Sergey$4aut$01946570 702 $aUmland$b Andreas$4edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911108928003321 996 $aThe Elephant in the Room: Corruption and Cheating in Russian Universities$94701895 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03609oam 22008415 450 001 9911135601703321 005 20251116222504.0 010 $a9780821383407 010 $a082138340X 024 7 $a10.1596/978-0-8213-8339-1 035 $a(CKB)2560000000056360 035 $a(EBL)589783 035 $a(OCoLC)701719663 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000409855 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12146487 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000409855 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10348547 035 $a(PQKB)10394206 035 $a(The World Bank)ocn606779614 035 $a(US-djbf)16334216 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC589783 035 $a(Perlego)1483633 035 $a(EXLCZ)992560000000056360 100 $a20100715d2010 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aDiversity in career preferences of future health workers in Rwanda : $ewhere, why, and for how much? /$fTomas Lievens ...

In order to strengthen policies based on evidence, a better understanding is needed of health worker choice and behaviour. This book tries to help fill that gap. Relying on unique survey data, it analyses the career preferences of future health workers in Rwanda, focusing on their sector preference, their willingness to work in a rural area, likelihood to migrate abroad, and readiness to work in a high HIV prevalence environment. The findings show that health workers are not as uniform as is often thought, and can 410 0$aWorld Bank e-Library. 410 0$aWorld Bank working paper ;$vno. 189. 606 $aOccupational health services 606 $aOccupational health services$xHealth and hygiene$zRwanda 606 $aMedical personnel$zRwanda 606 $aMotivation 606 $aHealth Personnel 606 $aCareer Choice 606 $aCareer Choice 607 $aRwanda 608 $aEvaluation Study. 608 $aStatistics. 615 4$aOccupational health services. 615 0$aOccupational health services$xHealth and hygiene 615 0$aMedical personnel 615 2$aMotivation. 615 12$aHealth Personnel. 615 22$aCareer Choice. 615 22$aCareer Choice. 676 $a362.10967571 700 $aLievens$b Tomas 701 $aSerneels$b Pieter M 701 $aButera$b J.
