Adaptation based on Value-Generating Decision Making
Authors: Maldonado Carlos , Portugal Angela , Arce Glenn , Ugarte Wendy , Angulo Harold
Published: February 2023

This article aims to explain how economic processes have been developed through purely linear techniques, deeply affecting development at the business level. This is because economics is a normal science that has standardized and quantified growth, development, and value generation, evidencing a substantial gap. This has motivated the development of the present manuscript, whose value proposition lies in articulating the creation and development of the economy through the effective and positive adaptation of human capital through making optimal decisions in the complex environment, which allows generating tangible and intangible multidimensional value—recognizing a new approach based on tangible and intangible assets that allow knowledge to develop and transform it into value. Thus, the essence of this manuscript lies in the review of literature, which helps to articulate antecedents that evidence the linearity of the production function that sustains the classical economy, providing thus literature that allows deconstructing linear models and building value-generating systems (agents or organizations) emphasizing human capital as decision-makers which generate value through emotional intelligence and resilience.

Продуктивні якості овець залежать від породності, годівлі й утримання, віку тварини, місяця лактації, кількості ягнят, яких вигодовує вівцематка. Вирішення цієї проблеми можливе лише за умови розведення та утримання тварин. Своєю чергою головною ланкою утримання тварин є їх повноцінна годівля. На сьогодні загальний рівень годівлі низький, а її повноцінність не відповідає вимогам. Важливим резервом поповнення потреби у високобілкових кормах, кормовому протеїні та біологічно активних речовинах у наш час можуть бути флора й фауна водоймищ. Вивчали показники відтворних властивостей вівцематок та обміну речовин за умови включення в раціон комбікорму з вмістом у його складі протеїново-мінеральної добавки з аквакультури річки Дністер. Дослідження ґрунтується на проведенні науково-господарського досліду на вівцематках молочно-м’ясної породи лакон за місяць до парування та дає змогу стверджувати, що згодовування протеїново-мінеральної добавки з аквакультури в раціонах вівцематок дослідних груп сприяло заплідненості маток під час першого осіменіння. Результати досліджень вказують на те, що жива маса маток у різні періоди досліду змінювалася. Встановлено, що за період підготовки до осіменіння жива маса маток контрольної групи збільшилася на 3,11 кг, а першої та другої дослідних груп – на 3,67 кг і 3,94 кг відповідно, що більше за контрольну групу тварин на 18% (Р<0,05) і 26,6% (Р<0,01). Унаслідок дослідження встановлено, що жива маса маток контрольної групи за період лактації зменшилася на 9,0 кг, або 11,79%; маса маток першої дослідної групи – на 7,27 кг, або 8,9%; маса маток другої дослідної групи – на 5,5 кг, або 7,57%; маса маток третьої дослідної групи – на 8,24 кг, або 11,5%. Встановлено можливість і доцільність введення в комбікорми вівцематок породи лакон 3–12% протеїново-мінеральної добавки з аквакультури річки Дністер замість ячменю. За комплексною оцінкою найвища ефективність спостережена за доз ПМДА в комбікормі маток у межах 7% за масою комбікорму.
Stráž na Řípu aneb české protestantské časopisy „dlouhého“ 19. století
Authors: Nešpor Zdeněk R.
Published: February 2023

The study shows the overrepresentation of Protestant journals among religious periodicals in the Czech lands in the second half of the ‘long’ 19th century and attempts to analyse it. The author explains why these periodicals did not emerge earlier and first appeared in the revolutionary years of 1848–49. In several epochs of different character, he then outlines the frequency and types of Protestant journals of the second half of the 19th century and the early 20th century. He notes that they were mostly written in the Czech language and were issued by both popular Protestant churches (Lutheran as well as Reformed). Among the reasons for this uniqueness, the author includes the economic, social, cultural and intellectual rise of the Protestant minority in this period, its social and geographic characteristics, and the high value placed in that environment on the diversity of opinion and debates.
„Vějičky na chytání lehkověrných hejlů“? O periodických tiskovinách vydávaných Karlem Jonášem v Soběslavi a v Jindřichově Hradci v letech 1885–1887
Authors: Cukr Jiří
Published: February 2023

This contribution is devoted to three forgotten newspapers that stood at the beginning of the professional career of the later important journalist and editor Karel Jonáš (1865–1922). In the town of Soběslav, these were the Hlasy od Lužnice and the Choustník; later in the town of Jindřichův Hradec, it was the periodical Hlasy z Jindřichova Hradce. Their development, form and content are set not only in the context of the history of both South Bohemian towns, but especially in the context of the growing Czech journalistic production of the time with all of its pitfalls and problems that significantly affected the short existence of these newspapers.
Něco málo o cenzuře a cenzurovaných textech
Authors: Plucarová Laděna , Kolda Vlastimil
Published: February 2023

This paper draws attention to three archival collections of the public prosecutor’s offices deposited in the State Regional Archives in Třeboň that contain the agenda of press control and censorship interventions. Selected newspapers from the turn of the 20th century document how censors monitored press production and the reflection of social situation, how and on the basis of what legislation censors analysed texts, how they changed or completely confiscated the texts, whether the circulation was partially or completely destroyed, and which institutions were involved in the process. As these archival collections preserve both the original and final forms of newspapers, they represent an important platform for the study of the history of journalism.

Published: February 2023

La infección por SARS-CoV-2 constituye una patología de afección respiratoria que es transmitida por aerosoles contagiosos entre personas cuando se realizan acciones como toser, estornudar o llevar las manos contagiadas hacia la boca, nariz u ojos. El virus en cuestión se originó en Wuhan, China, por zoonosis a partir del murciélago. En enero del 2020 se logró realizar la secuencia del genoma vírico y debido a su rápida diseminación, la Organización Mundial de la Salud lo declaró pandemia en marzo del 2020. El presente artículo analiza la estructura del virus, así como sus variantes genéticas identificadas hasta la actualidad y distribución geográfica de los casos positivos para la infección en América Latina en el 2022. Del mismo modo, se estudia la epidemiología correspondiente a Ecuador y Latinoamérica, y la interacción que existe entre las distintas variantes del virus y las vacunas desarrolladas para el control de la infección y/o propagación.
Factores modificables y las complicaciones de la DMT2 en el adulto mayor, hospital teodoro maldonado carbo, junio- diciembre 2020
Authors: Sisa Zaruma Myrian Alexandra , Zuñiga Pacheco Jerson Xavier
Published: February 2023

La forma más común de diabetes en las personas de la tercera edad mayores de 60 años es la Diabetes Mellitus tipo 2 (DMT2), cuya demanda de atención ha sido alta en el Hospital Teodoro Maldonado Carbo por la presentación de complicaciones en los últimos años. Entre las causas se encuentran factores modificables como la dieta, ejercicio físico, el peso, tabaquismo, el consumo de alcohol y fármacos. En consecuencia, se propuso determinar los factores modificables que influyen en las complicaciones de la DMT2 en el adulto mayor del hospital en mención, dentro del período junio-diciembre 2020. Con base en lo expuesto, se empleó una investigación básica cuantitativa para la medición de variables, al mismo tiempo que descriptiva con el fin de entregar un panorama del fenómeno de estudio, analizándolo desde el contexto hospitalario, por lo que también es una investigación de campo y transversal. Se utilizó un cuestionario para recoger información de 321 adultos mayores, del cual se obtuvo interesantes resultados como que la determinación del sobrepeso y obesidad (27.8%) son las dos condiciones qué más influyen en la presencia de complicaciones desde el punto de vista médico. En cuanto a los fatores modificables, resaltaron un IMC ≥ 28 y < 32 que indica sobrepeso (49.8%); riesgo de obesidad (65.4%) e irregularidad de actividad física (60.1%). Entre otros aspectos, se encontró que la alimentación es saludable de manera general, no obstante, el 20.2% consideró que su régimen alimenticio no era adecuado, sumado al consumo de alcohol (60.4%). Lo anterior conduce a concluir que, para mejorar la intervención de dicha enfermedad en los adultos mayores, es necesario que se trabaje conjuntamente en todos estos factores de riesgo.

Identifying Discourse Elements in Writing by Longformer for NER Token Classification
Authors: Alkabool Alia , Abdullah Sukaina , Zadeh Sadiq , Mahfooz Hani
Published: February 2023

Current automatic writing feedback systems cannot distinguish between different discourse elements in students' writing. This is a problem because, without this ability, the guidance provided by these systems is too general for what students want to achieve on arrival. This is cause for concern because automated writing feedback systems are a great tool for combating student writing declines. According to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, less than 30 percent of high school graduates are gifted writers. If we can improve the automatic writing feedback system, we can improve the quality of student writing and stop the decline of skilled writers among students. Solutions to this problem have been proposed, the most popular being the fine-tuning of bidirectional encoder representations from Transformers models that recognize various utterance elements in student written assignments. However, these methods have their drawbacks. For example, these methods do not compare the strengths and weaknesses of different models, and these solutions encourage training models over sequences (sentences) rather than entire articles. In this article, I'm redesigning the Persuasive Essays for Rating, Selecting, and Understanding Argumentative and Discourse Elements corpus so that models can be trained for the entire article, and I've included Transformers, the Long Document Transformer's bidirectional encoder representation, and the Generative Improving a pre trained Transformer 2 model for utterance classification in the context of a named entity recognition token classification problem. Overall, the bi-directional encoder representation of the Transformers model railway using my sequence-merging preprocessing method outperforms the standard model by 17% and 41% in overall accuracy. I also found that the Long Document Transformer model performed the best in utterance classification with an overall f-1 score of 54%. However, the increase in validation loss from 0.54 to 0.79 indicates that the model is overfitting. Some improvements can still be made due to model overfittings, such as B. Implementation of early stopping techniques and further examples of rare utterance elements during training.

In the context of the development of the Development Strategy of the Russian Federation, the discussion about the future of different types of cities has intensified. The proposed cognitive-mathematical model for the development of small towns justifies the permanent strengthening of the interdependence of rural and urban economies, opens up prospects for development. The factors influencing the development of small towns located in rural areas are identified; optimization of financial, investment and logistics flows; increasing entrepreneurial potential in the field of agro-industrial production. The cognitive approach to modeling the continuum of small towns made it possible to significantly reduce the amount of numerical calculations when building a neural network, and two-level modeling to optimize financial and investment flows. It is proposed to change the demographic threshold for classifying cities as small: from 50 thousand to 100 thousand inhabitants, in order to improve the investment climate and economic growth. Modeling the socio-economic development of a small town located in rural areas made it possible to substantiate the levels of relationships between economic agents. Taking into account the above designations, a cognitive model of a typical small town located in a rural area was compiled and a grouping of small towns of the Volgograd region was carried out according to the degree of development of entrepreneurial potential. It is shown that administrative transformations, as a rule, are more significant than migration and demographic ones, they can open the way to development for some cities, make others satellites living “on alms”. It is concluded that small towns can be economically and socially efficient settlements, quite competitive units of the country’s spatial framework with state support and increased financial flows to local budgets.

We present a comparison of theoretical predictions of dust continuum and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission with new JWST observations in three nearby galaxies: NGC 628, NGC 1365, and NGC 7496. Our analysis focuses on a total of 1063 compact stellar clusters and 2654 stellar associations previously characterized by the Hubble Space Telescope in the three galaxies. We find that the distributions and trends in the observed PAH-focused infrared colors generally agree with theoretical expectations, and that the bulk of the observations is more aligned with models of larger, ionized PAHs. These JWST data usher in a new era of probing interstellar dust and studying how the intense radiation fields near stellar clusters and associations play a role in shaping the physical properties of PAHs.
Density Profiles of Collapsed Rotating Massive Stars Favor Long Gamma-Ray Bursts
Authors: Halevi Goni , Wu Belinda , Mösta Philipp , Gottlieb Ore , Tchekhovskoy Alexander , Aguilera-Dena David R.
Published: February 2023

Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (lGRBs) originate in relativistic collimated outflows—jets—that drill their way out of collapsing massive stars. Accurately modeling this process requires realistic stellar profiles for the jets to propagate through and break out of. Most previous studies have used simple power laws or pre-collapse models for massive stars. However, the relevant stellar profile for lGRB models is in fact that of a star after its core has collapsed to form a compact object. To self-consistently compute such a stellar profile, we use the open-source code GR1D to simulate the core-collapse process for a suite of low-metallicity rotating massive stellar progenitors that have undergone chemically homogeneous evolution. Our models span a range of zero-age main-sequence (ZAMS) masses: M
ZAMS = 13, 18, 21, 25, 35, 40, and 45M
☉. All of these models, at the onset of core-collapse, feature steep density profiles, ρ ∝ r
−α
, with α ≈ 2.5, which would result in jets that are inconsistent with lGRB observables. We follow the collapses of four of the seven models until they form black holes (BHs) and the other three models until they form proto-neutron stars (PNSs). We find, across all models, that the density profile outside the newly formed BH or PNS is well represented by a flatter power law with α ≈ 1.35–1.55. Such flat density profiles are conducive to the successful formation and breakout of BH-powered jets and are, in fact, required to reproduce observable properties of lGRBs. Future models of lGRBs should be initialized with shallower post-collapse stellar profiles, like those presented here, instead of the much steeper pre-collapse profiles that are typically used.
Genetic evidence for parthenogenesis in the small carpenter bee Ceratina dallatoreana (Apidae, Ceratinini) in its native distribution range
Authors: Mikát Michael , Straka Jakub
Published: February 2023

Arrhenotoky is the typical mode of reproduction in Hymenoptera. Diploid females develop from fertilized eggs, whereas haploid males originate from unfertilized eggs. However, some taxa of Hymenoptera have evolved thelytoky, in which diploid females originate parthenogenetically from unfertilized diploid eggs. In contrast to some other hymenopteran lineages, like ants and parasitic wasps, thelytoky is generally very rare in bees.

Here, we evaluated the frequency of thelytoky in the small carpenter bee Ceratina dallatoreana, which was previously assumed to be thelytokous. By comparing genotypes of microsatellite loci between mothers and their offspring, we found that all female offspring were genetically identical to their mothers. We conclude that parthenogenesis is the prevailing and perhaps obligate mode of reproduction in C. dallatoreana. We also classify the cytological mode of this parthenogenesis as apomixis, or automictic parthenogenesis with central fusion and extremely reduced or non-existing recombination, because offspring showed no decrease of heterozygosity.

Because sociality is influenced by relatedness and Ceratina are ancestrally facultatively social, the high relatedness afforded by parthenogenesis should associate with social living in the nest. In accordance with previous work, however, we found no social nests of C. dallatoreana.

The genome of the egg parasitoid Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae), a model organism and biocontrol agent of stink bugs
Authors: Lahey Zachary , Chen Huayan , Dowton Mark , Austin Andrew D. , Johnson Norman F.
Published: February 2023

Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston) is a minute parasitic wasp that develops in the eggs of stink bugs. Over the past 30 years, Tr. basalis has become a model organism for studying host finding, patch defense behavior, and chemical ecology. As an entry point to better understand the molecular basis of these factors, in addition to filling a critical gap in the genomic resources available for parasitic Hymenoptera, we sequenced and assembled the genome of Tr. basalis using short (454, Illumina) and long read (Oxford Nanopore) sequencing technologies. The three sequencing methods produced 32 million reads (4.10 Gb; 27.9×), which were assembled into 7,586 scaffolds. The 147 Mb (N50: 42.8 kb) assembly contains complete sequences for 93.1% of the insect BUSCO dataset, and an extensive annotation protocol resulted in 14,158 protein-coding gene models, 12,197 (86%) of which had a blast hit in GenBank. Repetitive elements comprised 13.8% of the genome, and a phylogenomic analysis recovered Tr. basalis as sister to Chalcidoidea, a result in line with other studies. We identified 174 rapidly evolving gene families in Tr. basalis, including olfactory receptors and pheromone/general odorant binding proteins. These genetic elements are an obligatory portion of the parasitoid-host relationship, and the draft genome of Tr. basalis has and will continue to be useful in elucidating these relationships at finer resolution.
Comment les entreprises françaises ajustent-elles leur niveau d’emploi ?
Authors: Duhautois Richard , Petit Héloïse
Published: February 2023

Dans la lignée des travaux de Davis et Haltiwanger [1999], nous étudions les pratiques d’ajustement de l’emploi des établissements français. Nous estimons les relations entre flux d’emploi (création et destruction) et de salariés (entrées et sorties) à l’appui des EMMO-DMMO (une base de données des mouvements sur le marché du travail couvrant les établissements privés de 10 salariés ou plus) pour la période 1999-2010. Nos estimations montrent la contribution importante des entrées et sorties en contrats à durée indéterminée (CDI) aux ajustements de l’emploi. En période de croissance des effectifs, les entrées en contrats à durée déterminée (CDD), comme celles en CDI, ont un poids important. Mais en période de diminution des effectifs, les deux types de flux s’ajustent différemment : les entrées en CDD ralentissent mais ce sont surtout les fins de CDI qui s’intensifient.

Recycling vs Mining: Competition for Market Shares, Collusion for Market Power
Authors: de Beir Jean , Ha-Huy Thai , Sourisseau Sylvain
Published: February 2023

En tant que substitut aux matériaux primaires, le recyclage influence la concurrence sur un marché dominé par un oligopole de firmes minières. Ici, nous examinons comment les recycleurs modifient l’offre de matériaux en termes de parts et pouvoir de marché. Des firmes dans un oligopole non coopératif décident du niveau d’extraction de minerais, sachant qu’il affectera l’offre future de la frange concurrentielle des recycleurs. Par conséquent, les firmes minières sont considérées comme des meneuses tandis que les firmes de recyclage qui complètent le marché jouent le rôle de suiveuses. La concurrence entre firmes minières, d’une part, et entre les deux secteurs d’activité, d’autre part, est décrite dans un modèle de type Cournot-Stackelberg. Nous montrons l’effet positif reliant le nombre de firmes minières et leur poids agrégé au niveau du marché et nous montrons qu’un seuil technologique est requis pour permettre aux entreprises du recyclage d’entrer sur le marché et de jouer la concurrence. En outre, nous soulignons un changement significatif dans les parts de marché respectives et le fait qu’une réduction du pouvoir de marché n’apparaît que lorsque le niveau de technologie du recyclage et la disponibilité du gisement de déchets sont importants, sachant que ces deux facteurs varient selon les pays et les matériaux.
Comment faire des typologies en politique comparée ?

Typologies, taxinomies, classifications : de nombreuses confusions règnent autour de ces notions mobilisées dans les travaux procédant à des comparaisons en politique comparée et s’appuyant sur l’élaboration de « types ». Cet article vise à en clarifier les usages en identifiant quatre formes de typologie, à distinguer selon le mode d’élaboration des types (induction vs déduction) et leur opérationnalisation (centrée sur la constitution de groupes vs centrée sur l’analyse de cas) : la typologie « classificatrice », la typologie « taxinomique », la typologie « explicatrice », et la typologie « idéale-typique ». Il est également souligné leurs apports et limites, l’importance de l’état de l’art dans le choix de telle ou telle typologie, ainsi que les différents statuts heuristiques des types élaborés dans chacune d’entre elles.

This chapter is an experiment in imaginative dialogue. It is co-authored but also calls upon 19th century authors Charlotte Perkins Gilman and Anna Atkins to act as spirit guides in the use of fiction to explore a relationship between the family photograph and autobiographical memory. In an extension of Roland Barthes' biographeme, it discusses the idea that photographic, and photographed, objects can become nexuses that connect, stimulate, and radiate autobiographical memories. It champions imaginary involvement and an emotional response to the family photograph as a way of giving voice to the voiceless. The chapter is split into two interrelated voices. Voice 1 focuses on the methods and processes involved in creating fictional dialogues with photographic objects. Voice 2 creates a series of fictional dialogues with a collection of photographic images scattered randomly throughout the text. The reader is encouraged to read the text in any order.
The Inland Lighthouse
Authors: Martinez Estrada Judith
Published: February 2023

This chapter looks at an investigation of personal history as a study of an apartment, and its inhabitants in the neighbourhood of El Retiro in Madrid, as seen through the gaze of a returning migrant. The apartment, the contents therein, and the biographies and its inhabitants for over 100 years are explored as a site of memory. To do this, the author has applied Pierre Nora's concept of ‘Lieux de memoire' to undertake a study and photographic interpretation of this location. Sites of memory are considered ‘places, sites, causes' in three senses: ‘material, symbolic, or functional'. A place need not have a physical location to be considered a site of memory: objects, photographs, colours, sounds, scents have as much bearing significance as a monument and become equal players in the act of remembering. Taking this as a departure point, the photographic and autoethnographic process of documentation and reflection used expand beyond that of a literal record to one in which interpretation, speculation, and fictionality have been applied in the creation of images and visual narratives.
To Have and to Hold
Authors: Hudson Carol
Published: February 2023

Focusing on the objects left behind when a person dies, this chapter reflects upon the history of a life as evidenced in the wounds and scars distinguishing personal possessions from commodities. Using photographic practice as a ritual of mourning, it charts a personal journey following the loss of a loved one. The iconic and indexical qualities of photographic representation make it the ideal medium for the creation of narratives that embody an emotional investment in everyday objects. The accretions of wear and tear on material objects becomes an important motif that finds analogy in the photographic process itself. The traces of touch on possessions are made visible by the traces of light on film.
Beyond the Photograph
Authors: Biró Eszter
Published: February 2023

This chapter studies the oral-performative-interactive register of family photographs with a focus on excavating previously silenced private memories and forging them into counter-narratives generations later. Conducted in a Hungarian divided memory context, the research explores how confabulation can be utilised as an excavation strategy. In the performative data gathering process, the participant interacting with the listener is transformed into a storyteller; through the confabulative process, they inscribed their subjective voice and gained ownership of their past, subsequently rendering their narratives counter to the dominant ideological frameworks. The chapter reports on the methodological challenges and strategies of capturing confabulation through a fine art research practice, taking up two positions, two roles: autoethnographic and archivist-edit.
The Frame and the Fold
Authors: Karlsson Elin
Published: February 2023

The author has a crackly relationship with photography. In fact, they have at times struggled to see eye to eye. Photography has seemed awkward, with its sharp, obvious, physical boundaries and flat, printed surface. Yet, as an artist, the author has come back to photography again and again. When making autobiographical work, the author brought the camera with me to places where there has been pain. But the author has often wondered if photography cannot offer enough. In this chapter, autobiography is fragmented and messy. It includes sexual violence, and moreover, the folding of these experiences into the self. The aim is to discover if and how these experiences alter interactions with hierarchy but also influence artistic vision and methodology.

Environmental contamination is the most serious global threat to our ecosystem. Over the last few decades, there has been a rise in environmental sensitivity. Indiscriminate use of water resources beyond their regeneration limits has resulted in the current water crisis that the world is experiencing. Hazardous effluents from textile industries and resistant microbes are significant sources for water deterioration with detrimental impacts on both biotic and abiotic components. Effective solutions to water purification are the need of the hour. Hydrogels possess unique properties with potential as effective adsorbents for dyes and hazardous metal ions enrichment from wastewater. Nanocomposites are a new class of advanced materials for technology. Nanocomposite hydrogels with reinforcing nanofillers exhibit noticeably superior properties as compared to conventional hydrogels and have the potential to become efficient adsorbents for such pollutants. Present chapter provides a thorough overview of the role of nanocomposites in water pollution alleviation techniques.

In the coming years, researchers and manufacturers will be more concerned with the demand for products that are easy to construct and can be rendered seamlessly, even at complicated geometries, with the touch of a button. These requirements will be met by the advent of additive manufacturing. This will serve as the catalyst for a revolution. Additive layer manufacturing (ALM), also known as additive manufacturing (AM) or more commonly referred to as 3D printing, is a modern fabrication technology that uses a variety of raw materials to produce items such as medical implants and aircraft wing components by printing layers of material based on 3D digital models. In this chapter, the authors provide a comprehensive overview of the mechanical and tribological behaviour of ceramic, metallic, and fiber-reinforced polymer composites that are made by a range of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques. These composites can be used in a variety of applications, including aerospace, automotive, and medical.
Culturally-Aligned Mentorship of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Graduate Students and Educational Leaders
Authors: Tambascia Tracy Poon , Ho Mary , Parker Lily , Wang Jonathan
Published: February 2023

Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are part of a diverse community. However, this community's complexity and diversity are often overlooked due to the model minority myth, racism, discrimination, and stereotypes. The common thread throughout the successes and struggles of AAPIs is community, mutual reliance, family and community support, and the development of knowledge capital. Research examining culturally aligned mentorship notes the importance of cultural context and identity. This chapter on AAPI graduate students and new professionals focuses on narratives of resilience, persistence, and growth through mentorship. The chapter takes the form of dialogues among authors on culturally aligned mentorship, intersectionality, belongingness, and resilience. Recommendations include better onboarding for faculty and staff, developing communities of learning and practice, addressing bias through open discussion, cataloging AAPI leadership opportunities, proactive outreach by mentors, and using group mentoring models.
Dissertation in Fear
Authors: Dacres Sherika
Published: February 2023

Mentoring plays an important role in the success and or failure of doctoral learners. The experiences that one garners from a traditional doctoral education model provide opportunities and access to conventional mentorship and support that allows a learner to build on the knowledge and experience needed to be an academic professional. However, the same cannot be said for e-learners. Building and sustaining a meaningful mentor-mentee relationship has presented some challenges. This chapter utilizes the conceptual framework of Yob and Crawford to offer strategies to build capacity of best practices for mentorship among doctoral e-learners. The discussion will be organized using five of the seven attributes of Yob and Crawford's conceptual framework for mentoring: competence, personal qualities, availability, communication, and emotional support. This work has implications for mentors, doctoral e-learners, higher education faculty, as well as higher learning institutions.
