Abstract
Purpose
The use of generative artificial intelligence (genAi) language models such as ChatGPT to write assignment text is well established. This paper aims to assess to what extent genAi can be used to obtain guidance on how to avoid detection when commissioning and submitting contract-written assignments and how workable the offered solutions are.
Design/methodology/approach
Although ChatGPT is programmed not to provide answers that are unethical or that may cause harm to people, ChatGPT’s can be prompted to answer with inverted moral valence, thereby supplying unethical answers. The authors tasked ChatGPT to generate 30 essays that discussed the benefits of submitting contract-written undergraduate assignments and outline the best ways of avoiding detection. The authors scored the likelihood that ChatGPT’s suggestions would be successful in avoiding detection by markers when submitting contract-written work.
Findings
While the majority of suggested strategies had a low chance of escaping detection, recommendations related to obscuring plagiarism and content blending as well as techniques related to distraction have a higher probability of remaining undetected. The authors conclude that ChatGPT can be used with success as a brainstorming tool to provide cheating advice, but that its success depends on the vigilance of the assignment markers and the cheating student’s ability to distinguish between genuinely viable options and those that appear to be workable but are not.
Originality/value
This paper is a novel application of making ChatGPT answer with inverted moral valence, simulating queries by students who may be intent on escaping detection when committing academic misconduct.

Abstract
With the opportunity to co-author this chapter, we chose to trace the arc of sport hazing by situating ourselves both under and outside its shadow over the last 25+ years. When reading through our individual narratives, you will learn of our personal experiences with hazing in sport in both Canada and the United States of America, narrated from different points in our sport history and from our vantages while embodying different roles. We draw on research, practical experience, history and narrative to unpack and present where we have been and where we believe we are going with regards to this aspect of sport culture. We reflect on the societal changes that form the contextual background of those decades as well as personal changes that impacted our perspective, drawing on cultural touchstones as points of reference. All of this provides the foundation of our stories. Of particular note, there has been a stream of events cascading across the globe that have had an amplifying effect for voices calling for social change, both in and outside the culture of sport. These events included the #MeToo and #BlackLivesMatter (BLM) movements and the COVID-19 pandemic. This chapter weaves together our personal, professional and academic journeys that have led us on our joined path to interrogate and eradicate hazing in sport.

Abstract
Drawing from Foucault’s methodological terms of archaeology and genealogy this article critically engages with understanding the inter‐relationship between old age and prison life.We draw out the relevance of a Foucauldian paradigm for investigating how penal discourses and actual prisoners experiences exemplify issues of power, knowledge and surveillance in institutional settings. We draw out how violence impinges on the lives of older people in prisons by pointing out the implications of such experiences for both a critical ontology and epistemology of ageing. It is by transgressing the boundaries of the conventional understanding of the prison and by casting a critical gaze that will gain greater understanding of how elder abuse in secure settings goes unregulated.

Abstract
Aim of the present monograph is the economic analysis of the role of MNEs regarding globalisation and digital economy and in parallel there is a reference and examination of some legal aspects concerning MNEs, cyberspace and e‐commerce as the means of expression of the digital economy. The whole effort of the author is focused on the examination of various aspects of MNEs and their impact upon globalisation and vice versa and how and if we are moving towards a global digital economy.
