Thefts and Strategies of Appropriation and Concealment in the 'General Description of the World' (1684) by Pedro Cubero
In 1684, the renowned missionary Pedro Cubero published 'Descripción general del mundo' in Naples, claiming to provide a comprehensive overview of world history and geography. However, the text is largely incoherent and focuses almost entirely on the origins and conquest of Tahuantinsuyo. This inconsistency is attributed to Cubero's extensive plagiarism of Miguel Cabello Valboa's 'Miscelánea Antártica.' The study aims to analyze the methods Cubero used to appropriate and conceal Valboa's work and speculate on the possible reasons behind this maneuver, considering Cubero's life and literary career.

University completes review of first lady’s degree thesis
An ethics committee at Sookmyung Women’s University concluded that Kim Keon-hee, wife of impeached South Korean president Yoon Suk Yeol, plagiarized her master's thesis. This adds pressure on Yoon, who faces unpopularity due to controversies involving his wife. Kim has been given 30 days to appeal the findings, which could also impact her doctorate from Kookmin University. The investigation, criticized for its slow progress, was pushed by public and alumni pressure. If the master's degree is revoked, Kookmin University will review the validity of her doctorate. Allegations of plagiarism in her doctoral thesis have also been raised, but previously dismissed by Kookmin.

An education minister fought plagiarism. Then she was caught copying
Norway's higher education minister, Sandra Borch, resigned after it was revealed that parts of her master's thesis were plagiarized. This revelation came shortly after she appealed a Supreme Court case involving a student accused of plagiarism. The discovery was made by Kristoffer Rytterager, who was motivated by what he saw as hypocrisy in Borch's actions. The incident has led to increased scrutiny of other lawmakers' academic work, with some calling for resignations. The government is considering stricter penalties for cheating and plagiarism in educational institutions.

A Letra 'Z' e o Simbolismo na Guerra da Rússia Contra a Ucrânia
André Liohn, a columnist, has been accused of plagiarizing content from the American website Vox, with about 65% of his column being a direct translation of the original English article. The column discusses the use of the letter 'Z' as a symbol of Russian support for the war in Ukraine, which was first seen on military equipment at the Ukraine border. The symbol has been adopted for propaganda purposes within Russia, appearing on billboards, t-shirts, and social media, and has been banned in countries like Germany and Lithuania. The article also touches on the historical significance of the symbol and its connection to Russian military glory, particularly the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.

Romanian Businessman Turned Prison Author Faces Prosecution
Romanian businessman Gheorghe Copos faces prosecution for allegedly plagiarizing academic papers in a book he wrote while in prison, exploiting a now-closed legal loophole that allowed prisoners to reduce their sentences by publishing 'scientific' books. The investigation into Copos, who shaved 150 days off his sentence with five books, highlights broader issues of corruption and misuse of the law among Romanian businessmen and politicians. The National Anticorruption Directorate's efforts to address these abuses may lead to further prosecutions and a reevaluation of the prison book scheme.

Plagiarism Scandals Shake Serbian Politics and Academia
The article by Natalija Miletic discusses a series of plagiarism scandals involving Serbian politicians and academics. Three politicians, including the Minister of Interior, the Mayor of Belgrade, and the President of New Belgrade, have been accused of plagiarizing their PhD dissertations. The Rector and owner of Megatrend University, Mr. Mica Jovanovic, was also implicated for falsely claiming a PhD from the London School of Economics. The scandals have highlighted issues with the integrity of Serbian higher education and the lack of institutional response to academic malpractice. Despite the allegations, there has been no significant action from universities or political parties to address the issue transparently. The article compares the situation to plagiarism cases in other countries, noting the swift responses elsewhere, and calls for a more robust institutional and political reaction in Serbia.

The Atlantic's Bizarre Defense of Claudine Gay and Comparison to ChatGPT
The article discusses a piece by The Atlantic that compares the plagiarism accusations against former Harvard President Claudine Gay to allegations of copyright infringement by OpenAI's ChatGPT. The Atlantic suggests that both Harvard and OpenAI face similar issues of intellectual theft. Christopher Rufo criticizes this comparison, arguing that ChatGPT's potential for presidency at Harvard is not a relevant concern. Rufo also highlights the AI's limitations, including its unreliability and tendency to produce 'woke' content. He further mocks The Atlantic by demonstrating that ChatGPT can answer a controversial question more directly than Gay did, suggesting that the AI could replace her as president. The author expresses mixed feelings about The Atlantic, acknowledging its quality work but also its failures, and calls for better editorial standards.
