Is plagiarism on the rise in Ethiopian politics? The case of three Master's theses at Addis Ababa University
<p>After an inquiry for plagiarism, the University of Düsseldorf in Germany <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/feb/09/german-education-minister-quits-phd-plagiarism">revoked Annette Schavan's doctorate degree in 2013</a>. Schavan (CDU) served as Germany's Federal Minister of Education from 2005 to 2013, and resigned after her PhD was revoked. Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg (CDU), Germany's defense minister, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2011/mar/01/german-defence-minister-resigns-plagiarism">resigned in 2011</a> when plagiarism was discovered in his PhD dissertation. As a result, the VroniPlag Wiki was established, where the level of plagiarism in German doctorate theses is investigated and documented via crowdsourcing. As a consequence, dozens of politicians were deprived of their degrees, voluntarily abandoned them, or fled politics. <a href="https://www.faz.net/aktuell/karriere-hochschule/hoersaal/franziska-giffey-verzicht-auf-doktortitel-ist-nicht-moeglich-18746134.html">Franziska Giffey (SPD) and Martin Huber (CSU)</a> are the most recent additions in 2023.</p> <p>The prestige of having an advanced degree is quite high in Ethiopia, as it is in Germany, and as a result, the temptation for shortcuts may be quite strong. We documented three instances of possible MSc thesis plagiarism at Addis Abeba University (AAU): Abraham Belay (2007), Takele Uma (2014), and Dagmawit Moges (2019), all of whom are (or were until recently) ministers in the Ethiopian government.</p> <p>The MSc theses were formally analysed for similarity with earlier works using <a href="https://www.turnitin.com/">Turnitin anti-plagiarism software</a>. The automated output was then further analysed. Similarities with works produced after or concurrently with the publishing date of the MSc theses were omitted from the similarity report; this pertains to a few instances of theses and articles in predatory journals that plagiarized passages from those theses. Also short similarities (eight words or less) were removed from the report. After that, the similarity scores remain high for the three MSc theses, with numerous fully copied paragraphs and sections.</p> <p><strong>Abraham Belay</strong> published an MSc thesis on “<a href="http://etd.aau.edu.et/bitstream/handle/123456789/6598/Abraham%20belay.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y">DSP based vector control of induction motor</a>” at AAU’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2007 (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230124144908/http:/etd.aau.edu.et/bitstream/handle/123456789/6598/Abraham%20belay.pdf">archive</a>). In 2020, Abraham Belay (Prosperity Party) became minister of Innovation and Technology and in 2021 Minister of Defence. His MSc thesis presents 62% similarities with earlier work by other authors. See <strong>Annex A</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Takele Uma</strong> published an MSc thesis on “<a href="http://etd.aau.edu.et/handle/123456789/11897">Environmental and Economic Benefits of Bioslurry from Coffee Husk Relative to Chemical Fertilizer</a>” at AAU’s School of Chemical and Bio-Engineering in 2014 (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230409120611/http:/etd.aau.edu.et/bitstream/handle/123456789/11897/Takele%20Uma.pdf">archive</a>). Takele Uma (PP) was mayor of Addis Ababa from 2018 to 2020 and minister of Mines and Petroleum of Ethiopia from 2020 to 2023. His MSc thesis presents 38% similarities with earlier work. See <strong>Annex B</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Dagmawit Moges</strong> (PP) published an MSc thesis on “<a href="http://etd.aau.edu.et/handle/123456789/19432">The Challenges and Prospects of Dynamic Electronic Service in Strengthening Demand-Responsive Transportation System in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia</a>” at AAU’s Department of Public Administration and Development Management in 2019 (<a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230409120757/http:/etd.aau.edu.et/bitstream/handle/123456789/19432/Dagmawit%20Moges.pdf">archive</a>). Dagmawit was minister of Transport and Communications of Ethiopia from 2018 to 2023. In March 2023, she became director at the Peace Fund Secretariat of the African Union Commission. She <a href="https://smartermobility-africa.com/speakers/h-e-dagmawit-moges-bekele/">chairs also the boards</a> of Woldiya University, the Ethiopian Post, and the Ethiopian Roads Authority. Her MSc thesis presents 33% similarities with earlier work. <strong>See Annex C</strong>.</p> <p>We encourage readers to review the entire Turnitin reports for the three theses. It is not impossible that further paragraphs extracted from grey literature were missed by the Turnitin algorithms.</p> <p>On 28 February 2020, Addis Ababa University sent a <a href="https://archive.today/2023.04.08-084235/https:/t.me/Addisababauniversity/105">message in Amharic on its Telegram</a> channel, stating in substance that AAU has an anti-plagiarism policy, since plagiarism has been a significant hindrance to the University's efforts to provide excellent education. AAU further states that, earlier on, it has revoked a master's degree it had issued to a student due to plagiarism. It is only logical, then, that the three MSc theses annexed be formally scrutinized for plagiarism and the degrees possibly rescinded.</p> <p>Last but not least, examining the legitimacy of the country's politicians' academic degrees would necessitate a collaborative effort, and we urge concerned academics, students, and alumni of Ethiopian universities to initiate a crowdsourcing effort to detect plagiarism in theses, as is done in Germany with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VroniPlag_Wiki">VroniPlag Wiki</a> and in Russia with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dissernet">Dissernet</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Acknowledgments</strong></p> <p>The authors acknowledge the owners of Twitter accounts @EgleGeek and @Zeate1 for pointing out that the three MSc theses addressed here reused texts from previous works. We would also like to thank Alex de Waal (Tufts University, Medford, MA, USA) and Boud Roukema (Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń, Poland) for exchanges of thoughts.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Annexes</strong></p> <p>Annex A. <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7810624/files/Annex%20A%20-%20Abraham%20belay%20MSc%20thesis%20SimCheck2.pdf">Turnitin similarity report of the MSc thesis by Abraham Belay (2007)</a>.</p> <p>Annex B. <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7810624/files/Annex%20B%20-%20Takele%20Uma%20MSc%20thesis%20similarity%20check.pdf">Turnitin similarity report of the MSc thesis by Takele Uma (2014).</a></p> <p>Annex C. <a href="https://zenodo.org/record/7810624/files/Annex%20C%20-%20Dagmawit%20Moges%20MSc%20thesis%20similarity%20check.pdf">Turnitin similarity report of the MSc thesis by Dagmawit Moges (2019)</a>.</p>

Crossing extreme habitat boundaries: Jack-of-all-trades facilitates invasion but is eroded by adaptation to a master-of-one
<ol> <li>The invasion of new environments can be a key instigator of adaptive diversification, but the likelihood of such invasions succeeding can depend on the attributes of would-be invaders. Chief among these seems to be a generalist or 'jack-off-all-trades' phenotype.</li> <li>Yet, despite the obvious link between habitat transitions and adaptation, we know surprisingly little about how phenotypes that might initially allow taxa to transition between habitats subsequently evolve or influence post-invasion differentiation.</li> <li>We tested how a generalist phenotype of a broad diet and behavioral plasticity in marine blenny fishes has facilitated the repeated invasion of extreme environments—particularly land—and how the conditions post-invasion have impacted that generalist phenotype and associated trophic morphology.</li> <li>Our data show that a wide diet and plasticity in being able to shift between environments freely has been instrumental in the progressive invasion of land by amphibious blennies. Once established, however, terrestrial blennies have experienced strong stabilising selection for a restricted diet, little to no plasticity and a highly specialised morphology. Instead of promoting diversification, the invasion of land appears to offer only a limited niche for survival, constraining descendent blennies to a specific adaptive phenotype.</li> <li>While our study supports the view that generalism facilitates invasion and that habitat transitions instigate adaptation, it also shows a generalist strategy is not optimal for successful establishment and new environments may offer fewer (not more) opportunities for diversification. This has broad implications for how taxa might be expected to respond or adapt to abrupt environmental change more generally.</li> </ol>

Column shaft by the Master of Cabestany
12th century. Marble. 86 x 20.6 cm. Probably comes from the doorway of the church in the Sant Pere de Rodes monastery, was used for a long time to support the cross at Llançà cemetary. It features three capitals and other decorative ornaments from the monastery, which was abandoned in 1798 and plundered progressively from 1835. The delicate sculptural work combines undulating borders with floral motifs and animals (lions and birds).
