Published: September 2020

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a new tuber crop grown in Greece. It constitutes an innovative dietary component for both humans and animals, due to its nutritional properties. The cultivation of sweet potato focuses on the growth of both tubers and plants. Nitrogen is considered an essential element for almost all crops. This study set out to compare the effect of nitrogen inhibitors on yield components of sweet potato. In the literature, it is stated that in sweet potato cultivation nitrogen mainly affects the plants’ growth such as the tuber's yield and some quality characteristics such as dry matter and protein content. To furthermore explore this particular area, field experiments took place in West Greece, during the years 2018 and 2019. Several urea combination treatments were used in the experimental process. The treatments were urea (46-0-0), urea with urease inhibitor (UI), urea with nitrification inhibitor (NI), urea with double inhibitors (UI + NI) and control (without fertilizer) in a randomised complete block design. Leaf area index (LAI) was significantly affected by the fertilizer marking the highest value of 5.35 under urea + UI + NI treatment. Marketable yield was profoundly affected by the fertilizer in the experimental years and ranged from 18,180 to 23,230 Kg · ha−1 whereas non-marketable yield was not affected by the fertilizer. A considerable impact of fertilizers was noticed on yield where the highest value was 30,923 Kg · ha−1 under urea + NI + UI treatment. The percentage of nitrogen on tubers and upper parts was significantly affected by the fertilizers. Nitrogen markers, such as nitrogen use efficiency (NUE), nitrogen harvest index and nitrogen agronomic efficiency (NAE), were used to evaluate nitrogen release. A significant positive correlation was noticed between marketable yield and NUE (0.774). Also, the significant increase in yield showed a positive correlation with NAE (0.727). For yield components of sweet potato, the highest values were observed in urea with double inhibitors treatment in both experimental years.
South-South migration and elections: evidence from post-apartheid South Africa
Authors: Bedasso Biniam E. , Jaupart Pascal
Published: September 2020

Little is known about the political consequences of immigration in Sub-Saharan Africa. In this paper, we estimate the effect of exposure to immigration on election outcomes in South Africa. Our analysis is based on municipality panel data and an instrumental variable (IV) strategy exploiting historical migrant settlement patterns. We find that local immigration concentration has a negative impact on the performance of the incumbent African National Congress, whereas support for the main opposition party, the Democratic Alliance, is found to increase in municipalities with a larger immigrant presence. These effects hold regardless of the skill levels of immigrants in a municipality. In terms of mechanisms, competition over jobs and local public services as well as ethnic diversity and cultural factors influence how immigration affects election outcomes. These findings are robust to a broad range of sensitivity checks. They provide evidence that immigration can be a politically salient issue in migrant-destination Sub-Saharan African countries. They also show that immigration can affect election results even in contexts where there is no single issue anti-migrant party.

Russian Insecurities: How Fear Drives Perception in the Near Abroad
Authors: Kerrane Evan
Published: September 2020

Interpreting Russian actions in the Near Abroad relies on the perception of Russian intent, but all too often states fail to analyse how Moscow interprets Western objectives. While defensive realist theorists argue that states tend to seek only enough power to survive within the system, the U.S. 2017 National Security Strategy argues Moscow is a revisionist state, seeking a return to great power status. Increasing tensions among the actors in the region gives rise to potential misperception of intent. This article analyses state motivations under a defensive realist paradigm and addresses how Russian actions may emerge from a defensive perspective. Using a defensive realist framework, this article elevates Russian insecurities and fear of Western influence in the Near Abroad as the primary motivator of state action.
Effect of Heat Treatment Parameters on Mechanical Properties of Medium Carbon Steel
Authors: Blaoui M. M. , Zemri M. , Brahami A.
Published: September 2020

Engineering materials, mostly steel, are heat treated under controlled sequence of heating and cooling to alter their physical and mechanical properties to meet desired engineering applications. This paper presents a study of the influence of austenitization temperature, cooling rate, holding time and heating rate during the heat treatment on microstructure and mechanical properties (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation and hardness) of the C45 steel. Specimens undergoing different heat treatment lead to various mechanical properties which were determined using standard methods. Microstructural evolution was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed that microstructure and hardenability of the C45 steel depends on cooling rate, austenitization temperature, holding time and heating rate.
Propagation and Reflection of Plane Waves in a Rotating Magneto-Elastic Fibre-Reinforced Semi Space with Surface Stress
Authors: Roy Indrajit , Acharya D. P. , Acharya Sourav
Published: September 2020

The present paper investigates the propagation of quasi longitudinal (qLD) and quasi transverse (qTD) waves in a magneto elastic fibre-reinforced rotating semi-infinite medium. Reflections of waves from the flat boundary with surface stress have been studied in details. The governing equations have been used to obtain the polynomial characteristic equation from which qLD and qTD wave velocities are found. It is observed that both the wave velocities depend upon the incident angle. After imposing the appropriate boundary conditions including surface stress the resultant amplitude ratios for the total displacements have been obtained. Numerically simulated results have been depicted graphically by displaying two and three dimensional graphs to highlight the influence of magnetic field, rotation, surface stress and fibre-reinforcing nature of the material medium on the propagation and reflection of plane waves.

Exact Thermomechanical Analysis of Functionally Graded (FG) Thick-Walled Spheres
Authors: Yildirim V.
Published: September 2020

The present study aims to provide a deeper understanding for the thermo-mechanical analysis of spheres made of non-homogeneous isotropic materials. To this end, Navier equations are solved analytically based on the spherically-symmetric plain-strain assumptions and closed-form formulas are proposed for the elastic fields in a simple-power-law graded spheres subjected to steady-state thermal and internal/external pressure loads. A comprehensive parametric study is then performed with both functionally-graded hypothetical and physical materials. Two benchmark examples are reconsidered with hypothetically chosen inhomogeneity indexes. Effects of inhomogeneity indexes are reviewed in these examples. Differently from the literature, thickness effects are also examined under separate and combined loads together with the thermo-mechanical behavioral differences in spheres and cylinders. Finally three physical metal-ceramic pairs are studied originally with appropriate inhomogeneity indexes which are defined as the inner surface is full ceramic and the outer surface is full metal. Results are presented in graphical and tabular forms.
Polarization of the Longitudinal Pochhammer–Chree Waves
Authors: Ilyashenko Alla V. , Kuznetsov Sergey V.
Published: September 2020

The exact solutions of the linear Pochhammer – Chree equation for propagating harmonic waves in a cylindrical rod, are analyzed. Spectral analysis of the matrix dispersion equation for longitudinal axially symmetric modes is performed. Analytical expressions for displacement fields are obtained. Variation of wave polarization on the free surface due to variation of Poisson’s ratio and circular frequency is analyzed. It is observed that at the phase speed coinciding with the bulk shear wave speed all the components of the displacement field vanish, meaning that no longitudinal axisymmetric Pochhammer – Chree wave can propagate at this phase speed.
Impact of Fiber Metal Laminates - Literature Research
Authors: Lisowski Bartłomiej
Published: September 2020

The paper refers the general idea of composite materials especially Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) with respect to low-velocity impact incidents. This phenomenon was characterized by basic parameters and energy dissipation mechanisms. Further considerations are matched with analytical procedures with reference to linearized spring-mass models, impact characteristics divided into energy correlations (global flexure, delamination, tensile fracture and petaling absorbed energies) and set of motion second order differential equations. Experimental tests were based on analytical solutions for different types of FML - GLARE type plates and were held in accordance to ASTM standards. The structure model reveals plenty of dependences related to strain rate effect, deflection represented by the correlations among plate and intender deformation, separate flexure characteristics for aluminium and composite, contact definition based on intender end-radius shape stress analysis supported by FSDT, von Karman strains as well as CLT. Failure criteria were conformed to layers specifications with respect to von Misses stress-strain criterion for aluminium matched with Tsai-Hill or Puck criterion for unidirectional laminate. At the final stage numerical simulation were made in FEM programs such as ABAQUS and ANSYS. Future prospects were based on the experiments held over 3D-fiberglass (3DFG) FMLs with magnesium alloy layers which covers more favorable mechanical properties than FMLs.

Authors: Ahamed A. , Prashanth T.
Published: September 2020

In recent years, among all the aluminium alloys, Al6061 is gaining much popularity as a matrix material to prepare MMCs owing to its excellent mechanical properties and good corrosion resistance. Fly ash cenospheres are primarily a by-product in power generation plants. Research is in progress to effectively use this byproduct to produce new usable and profitable materials as they pose major disposal and environmental problems. In the light of the above, the present investigation is aimed at development of metal coated cenosphere reinforced Al6061 composites and to characterize their mechanical properties. Al6061 nickel coated composites have been prepared by liquid metallurgy route by varying percentage of nickel coated cenospheres between 2–10% by weight in steps of 2%. Density, hardness and tensile behaviour of the composites is carried out. It is observed that there is an increase in the values of hardness, density of the composite with an increasing percentage of the nickel coated cenosphere reinforcements. There is also a notable increase in the tensile strength as well as reduction in ductility of the prepared composite. Fractographs to indicate the behaviour of the composites have also been depicted in the paper.

In the present work, we consider a two dimensional axisymmetric problem of micropolar porous circular plate with thermal and chemical potential sources in the context of the theory of dual phase lag generalized thermoelastic diffusion. The potential functions are used to analyze the problem. The Laplace and Hankel transforms techniques are used to find the expressions of displacements, microrotation, volume fraction field, temperature distribution, concentration and stresses in the transformed domain. The inversion of transforms based on Fourier expansion techniques is applied to obtain the results in the physical domain. The numerical results for resulting quantities are obtained and depicted graphically. Effect of porosity, LS theory and phase lag are presented on the resulting quantities. Some particular cases are also deduced.

Published: September 2020

Due to municipal policies that are about to be legislated in many cities around the world, it may occur that habitants will be forced to commute in ultralight urban low-consuming cars. This paper covers the research concerning the innovative design, manufacturing method and the test of the wheel for such a vehicle. The design guidelines were as follows: elevated rigidity and durability, reduced weight and ease to adapt different types of hubs and powertrains. This was achieved by determining the forces acting on the wheel, examination of the characteristics of the possible materials and performing static finite element analysis simulations that were aimed to reveal stresses distribution and presumable failure points. Afterwards, the carbon fiber reinforced polymer disc wheel was manufactured and tested to compare the empirical deformations with the results of the simulations. The results proved that this type of wheel can be successfully used in ultralight passenger vehicle. The predicted weight reduction of such a wheel, in comparison to the wheels available on the market, may be about 40% due to using carbon fibre reinforced polymer and new, innovative solution - the magnesium hub, instead of aluminum, that is known to damp the vibration more efficiently and is easier to create a strong bond with the wheel.

Published: September 2020

Industrial robots often use planetary gear system to have high joint torques; therefore, the influence of the rotary inertia of the number of the equally spaced planet-gears on the dynamical behavior of the robot is very important. The main objective of this paper is to develop the dynamic modeling of robot actuated by (n) equally spaced planet-gears in the case where the planet-carrier is fixed, no closed solution has been reported for this dynamic modeling, and to compare between the dynamic behavior of robot actuated by (n+1) and (n) equally spaced planet-gears for a same trajectory planning. The authors derive the explicit dynamic model for an elbow down of 2-R manipulator holding an external mass. Finally, the obtained simulation results by using Matlab/Simulink of the dynamic modeling are verified by modeling the same robot and using an advanced simulation via SolidWorks (2014).

The article presents an original method of communication and data exchange in a robotic machining station consisting of two robots, a positioner and a 3D optic scanner. The task of one of the robots, equipped with a 3D optic scanner, was to receive point cloud of a detail (mould) attached to the positioner table. After detail digitalisation, the received point cloud was adjusted to (compared with) a model detail in the form of a CAD file in the Atos Professional software. In the software, casting material excesses were received in places selected on the detail. Values of the excesses and their coordinates were saved in the script and sent to the robot controller using TCP/IP protocol. The other of robots, equipped with the force control addition and the option of obtaining various processing tools, received sent excess and its coordinates. The other robot adjusted the processing parameters to random excesses, the value of which was received from measurements of the optic scanner of the first robot.

The Eucharist and the Ministerial Priesthood a Reply to Kenneth Collins and Jerry Walls
Authors: Lee Patrick
Published: September 2020

In chapters 9 and 10 of their book Roman but Not Catholic, Kenneth Collins and Jerry Walls criticize the Roman Catholic positions on the Eucharist as a sacrifice and on the ministerial priesthood. I reply to their historical and theological objections, and defend the belief that the Eucharistic sacrifice, the Mass, is a re-presentation, or making present, of Jesus’s redemptive sacrifice on Calvary, and a key component in God’s incarnational strategy for redeeming us.
Mary and Fátima: A Modest C-Inductive Argument for Catholicism
Authors: Mcnabb Tyler Dalton , Blado Joseph E.
Published: September 2020

C-Inductive arguments are arguments that increase the probability of a hypothesis. In this paper, we offer a C-Inductive argument for the Roman Catholic hypothesis. We specifically argue that one would expect the Miracle of Fátima on Roman Catholicism more so than on alternative hypotheses. Since our argument draws on confirmation theory, we first give a primer for how confirmation theory works. We then, provide the historical facts surrounding the Miracle of Fátima. We offer up two competing naturalistic explanations that attempt to explain the historical facts, but then, argue that a supernatural explanation is superior. Having established that something miraculous likely occurred at Fátima, we move to argue for the overall thesis of the paper. Finally, we engage several objections to our argument.

Published: September 2020

The practice of developing minimalist residential design in South Kuta is increasingly being accepted massively in Balinese society. The residential design carries the values ??of modernity and is independent of the environmental context and values ??of Balinese culture. Its physical appearance is geometric, simple, clean and without ornamentation. The minimalist residential development and acceptance is contrary to the Bali Provincial Regulation No. 05 of 2005 concerning Architectural Buildings which require all buildings including residential buildings to display Balinese style. Massive acceptance of this residence has implications in the dimensions of Balinese environmental, social and cultural identity. The research objective is to uncover the ideology behind developing and accepting minimalist housing in South Kuta; and reveal its implications for Balinese culture. For this purpose, the research approach used is the Cultural Studies and Design Studies approach. The type of data collected is qualitative data which is then analyzed by interpretive qualitative analysis methods. To understand and interpret data, deconstruction theory, semiotics and identity theory are used. The results of the study revealed that there are three ideologies behind developing and accepting minimalist occupancy in the middle of South Kuta society are capitalist, materialistic and functional-rationalist ideologies. The implication of the receipt of this residence in the community is the chaos of traditional residential values ??and deprivation of Balinese identity.

Authors: Sumerata I Wayan , Anom Kumbara A.A. Ngurah , Setiawan I Ketut
Published: September 2020

The swift flow of development and the demands of globalization seemed to be the destroyer of colonial buildings in Singaraja City, so that its existence was increasingly marginalized. This phenomenon is a serious problem because it can have implications for the existence of colonial buildings which are a reflection of historical events. The purpose of this study was to determine the forms and backgrounds of marginalization, as well as the implications of the alienation of colonial buildings in Singaraja City. The method of data collection is done by observation, interviews, and literature study. The theories used in this research are the theory of power relations, hegemony theory, and deconstruction theory. The results showed that the form of marginalization of colonial buildings, namely unfair treatment by the government and the community in the form of monasticism of the condition of buildings that were damaged, both minor, moderate or severe damage, even many of which were demolished were replaced by new buildings with other uses. Although, there are things that are tried to be repaired, but they are patchy so that it looks shabby and removes its authenticity. Factors leading to marginalization include the development of urban communities, the indifference of local governments, and the insistence of global capitalist interests. This condition is related to the practice of power and hegemony which is very strong in the people's mindset, that it seems as if there are no victims. This then has implications, namely the loss of historical evidence, urban identity, and the diminishing love of the younger generation for the importance of cultural heritage.

Even historical legends recorded in Russian: practice of transcription and commenting
Authors: Limorenko Yu. V.
Published: September 2020

This article is about the practical aspects of publishing folklore samples recorded in Russian by performers for whom Russian is not their native language. The research was based on two texts of Even historical legends collected in the Momsky ulus of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) from a performer who spoke to varying degrees Even, Yakut and Russian. The author has recorded the legend on audio, and then made the complete transcription of a record. Some linguistic features of texts were studied, such as using pause filler words, deviations in stress, violation of the grammatical norm, varying pronunciation of some words, mixing of speech styles and the use of words in sublime style, with the regular absence of prepositions. The author of the transcription adheres to recommendations of V. Ya. Propp on editing folklore texts: the originality of the phonetics of the text is not transmitted (this would make it difficult to read), but all the grammatical and syntactic features of the performer’s speech remain unchanged. During transcription, texts were divided into paragraphs (blocks), numbered for ease of reading and searching for comments. The punctuation marks also were placed, as well as some illegible-sounding words and some incomprehensible fragments of texts were marked. To preserve the internal logic of texts, the additions of words have been made in square brackets in some places, with additional marks. At the end of the article, the texts of both legends are published with comments made by the author of the transcription.

Prediction of Kindergarten Readiness Using a Questionnaire Based Screening Tool
Authors: Regy Minitta Maria , Peter Prasanth Kumar K , Kisku Alice , Krishnan Lalitha
Published: September 2020

Background and objective: Kindergarten is a critical period in a child’s life. Most schools use a “maturationist frame” in declaring school readiness by assuming that children of a certain chronological age are ready to join school. So far as there are no studies from India which have looked into the factors affecting the level of school readiness, a questionnaire based developmental screening tool was used to predict the same. Methodology: After obtaining permission from school authorities, the teachers of the junior kindergarten class and the parents were briefed in detail about the cross sectional study and informed consent was obtained. The pilot tested questionnaire was given to the parents to assess, which covered various aspects like reading, writing, communication, health, motor skills etc. After a period of three months, the class teachers who were blinded from the information obtained through the questionnaire was asked to grade the readiness of children on a likert scale of 1-10. The data was analysed using Chi square test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: On correlating the score given by the teachers and the parents, it was found to have a highly significant positive correlation. A score equal to or greater than 55 is 80% sensitive and 60% specific in predicting school readiness whereas a score of equal to or greater than 51 is 93% sensitive and 50% specific. Hence school readiness can be predicted using the questionnaire filled by the parents themselves. Conclusions: A questionnaire based screening tool filled helps the parents themselves to predict school readiness in children seeking admission to the kindergarten school. Moreover, the scores obtained from the questionnaire can help the teachers give better aid to those children who are not yet ready for school.

The response of society to its individuals with disability, especially those with mentally handicapped has varied a great deal over the human history. The mother plays a major role in the family especially as the caretaker of the mentally retarded child. It is important for the service provider to know what are the psychological problem are pose by parents and their children for whom they seek professional help and guidance . However, the present problem for investigation which intends to study the socio – demographic correlates and psychological factors associated with mothers of mentally handicapped children of mentally handicapped children. The study was carried out on 100 subject’s selected using purposive sampling. The subject consisted of mentally handicapped children and their biological mother was coming to OPD of Composite Regional Rehabilitation Centre for Persons with disabilities, Sundernagar, Mandi. Himachal Pradesh. Tools used in the study were (a) Socio-demographic Data sheet (b) Family Interview Schedule for Stress and Coping in Mental Retardation (c) Behavior Assessment Scale for Indian Children with Mental Retardation. The overall analysis of the results revealed that degree of mentally handicapped with or without behavior problem did not influence mothers stress and depression. Besides this, it was found that level of mentally handicapped alone did affect coping skill and anxiety level of mothers. It can be seen that relatively high representation of male child (60%) was brought to the centre for intervention and majority of them belong to rural areas. It was also found that only one third of the mentally handicapped children attending special schools. There was significant high number of mothers (58%) to have education level of 10th and above, majority of them were house wife and fell under the category of lower middle class income group. Moreover rehabilitation related professional would be needed to hike their professional standard of services dealing with the families of the mentally handicapped children. The services offered by governments as well as NGOs have great impact on community and society.

Aviation law is the branch of law that concerns flight, air travel, and associated legal and business concerns. Some of its area of concern overlaps that of admiralty law and, in many cases, aviation law is considered a matter of international law due to the nature of air travel. However, the business aspects of airlines and their regulation also fall under aviation law. In the international realm, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) provides general rules and mediates international concerns to an extent regarding aviation law. The ICAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations. In the United States and in most European nations, aviation law is considered a federal or state-level concern and is regulated at that level. In the U.S., states cannot govern aviation matters in most cases directly but look to Federal laws and case law for this function instead. For example, a court recently struck down New York's Passenger Bill of Rights law because regulation of aviation is traditionally a federal concern. Aviation law, however, is not in the United States held under the same Federal mandate of jurisdiction as admiralty law; that is, while the United States Constitution provides for the administration of admiralty,[1] it does not provide such for aviation law. States and municipalities do have some indirect regulation over aviation. For example, zoning laws can require an airport to be located away from residential areas, and airport usage can be restricted to certain times of day. State product-liabilitys law are not preempted by Federal law and in most cases, aviation manufacturers may be held strictly liable for defects in aviation products. Space law, which governs matters in outer space beyond the Earth's atmosphere, is a rather new area of law but one that already has its own journals and academic support. Much of space law is connected to aviation law.

Os jogos são importantes para estudantes de Educação Especial porque quando adaptados ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem permitem a assimilação de conteúdo cultural e conhecimento científico em uma interação promotora de ludicidade, entretenimento, desafios e superação. Este estudo tem por objetivo relacionar o uso dos jogos como suporte pedagógico a fim de despertar o interesse do aluno no conteúdo curricular de Matemática na educação especial. A pesquisa sucedeu em dois momentos: com atividades realizadas numa escola municipal da cidade de Manaus e em visitas a pontos turísticos da capital amazonense, tendo como sujeitos 14 alunos com necessidades especiais, sendo estas: autismo, paralisia cerebral e deficiência intelectual. Os indivíduos da pesquisa estão matriculados na 3ª fase de Educação Especial de jovens e adultos. Trata-se de um estudo com abordagem qualitativa e descritiva no qual verificamos a efetividade do uso de jogos de Matemática selecionados, adaptados e reformulados dentro da realidade e das necessidades dos alunos, com o apoio complementar das técnicas de roda de conversa, sequência didática e visita guiada. Pudemos auferir o êxito da proposta pedagógica com a demonstração da ampliação dos conhecimentos, do estímulo ao raciocínio lógico matemático por meio da realização de cálculos simples e ainda um amplo desenvolvimento de habilidades afetivas cognitivas, motoras e sociais, evidenciando contribuição para o processo de ensino-aprendizagem. Percebemos o potencial educacional do uso de jogos interrelacionados ao convívio com ambientes educativos fora do contexto
EDUCAÇÃO NÃO FORMAL EM ASTRONOMIA: ANÁLISE DE ARTIGOS ACADÊMICOS NACIONAIS E INTERNACIONAIS

Neste trabalho são analisados artigos sobre a educação não formal em Astronomia, publicados entre 2009 e 2019, em revistas acadêmicas nacionais e internacionais. Nesta pesquisa, do tipo Estado da Arte, utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo de Laurence Bardin. Foram identificados 225 artigos científicos a partir de um levantamento no Portal de Periódicos da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior (CAPES). As categorias de análise foram: ano de publicação, país de origem dos artigos, instituição, revista, conteúdos e foco temático. Foi observado que a educação não formal pode ser abordada de várias maneiras e em diversos locais, ampliando a oferta de atividades, ações e projetos sobre Astronomia que envolvem pessoas com diferentes níveis de escolaridade.  Os artigos apresentaram como tendências o crescente uso da tecnologia, atividades em espaços não formais e a aproximação entre a educação formal e não formal. Porém, foram detectados vários problemas, como a pequena quantidade de pesquisas sobre Astronomia Amadora, Astronomia Indígena, história da Astronomia, relações da Astronomia com o meio ambiente, inclusão e igualdade de gênero. Embora a produção internacional seja diversificada e presente em muitos países, os Estados Unidos possuem grande parte dos artigos, instituições e revistas, enquanto outros países têm pouca produção acadêmica. Do mesmo modo, foi identificada uma concentração de artigos brasileiros nas regiões Sudeste e Sul e a ausência de artigos na região Norte.

Todo profesor tiene en mente varios interrogantes. Se pregunta sobre si se habrán alcanzados los objetivos previstos, sobre si los alumnos cumplen con las expectativas, qué recursos utilizo para evaluarlos. Clasificando a los alumnos por su rendimiento académico, se suelen separar entre alto y bajo rendimiento, sin más matices. En este estudio pretendemos conocer los factores que afectan el rendimiento académico y los rasgos de los profesores preferidos por los alumnos, que permiten una mayor comunicación en clase. Para ello se aplicó un cuestionario a una muestra de 176 alumnos de último ciclo de Educación Primaria (11-12 años) y primer ciclo de Educación Secundaria (12-13 años) en la ciudad de Albacete (España). Los resultados son claros, los alumnos/as prefieren las siguientes cualidades entre sus profesores/as: la simpatía, el buen humor, la realización de actividades complementarias y extraescolares, la comprensión, la motivación y el respeto. Y el rasgo menos preferido fue la exigencia.
The Importance of Tough-Love Mentoring to Doctoral Student Success: Instruments to Measure the Doctoral Student/Proteges’ Perspective
Authors: Roberts Laura
Published: September 2020

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine tough-love mentoring theory (TLM) as a potential way to address the problem of low graduation rates among doctoral students.

Background: In order to address this purpose, the researcher presents the following: a) a validation study for assessment tools pertaining to TLM and b) a validation study of TLM theory and its two sub-theories: mentor integrity and trustworthiness sub-theory (MIT) and the mentor high standards sub-theory (MHS).

Methodology: The researcher tested the validity of the mentor integrity and trustworthiness scale from the protégés’ perspective (MIT-P), the mentor high standards scale from the protégés’ perspective (MHS-P) and the protégés’ perceptions of their own independence (PPI) scale. The sample consisted of 31 doctoral protégés recruited with multi-phase sampling at four education-related doctoral programs in the eastern part of the United States.

Contribution: The study provides evidence to support TLM as a strategy to address the problem of low graduation rates among doctoral students. In addition, the study contributes validation of assessment tools that can be used to measure doctoral protégés’ perceptions of their mentors.

Findings: For each scale, the data show acceptable levels of internal consistency and evidence of content validity. The data are consistent with the TLM theory and its two sub-theories. The unique contribution of the current study is that it draws from the protégés’ perspective.

Recommendations for Practitioners: The researcher presents a) strategies protégés can use to find trustworthy mentors with high standards and b) strategies program administrators can use for professional development of doctoral mentors. The researcher also provides the Right Angle Research Alignment (RARA) table to help protégés organize and manage the research methods section of their dissertation.

Recommendation for Researchers: It is recommended that researchers use experimental methods to test TLM theory and the sub-theories, MIT and MHS.

Impact on Society: This theory may be useful in business and in the arts and in other teaching relationships such as coaching and tutoring. The researcher encourages scholars to test TLM theory in these other contexts.

Future Research: Further research questions that arise from this study are as follows: How can protégés find mentors who have high standards and who are trustworthy? What can doctoral program administrators do to help mentors develop high standards and trustworthiness?
