Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The paper studies the behaviour of Canadian and Paraguayan citizens regarding corruption. This paper presents an experiment that was carried out in both countries. Results show that attitude toward corruption differs from one country to another. Participants in Canada showed a higher tolerance to corruption compared to participants in Paraguay. The paper concludes that the reason behind the difference in behaviour is due to the negative implications corruption have in Paraguay compared to Canada. Participants from Canada believe corruption is not a problem for the country while Paraguayans ranked corruption as the main problem the country faces.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
