The average weighted long-term component composition of associated petroleum gas burned at the fields in Russia is obtained, where the volume fractions of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) make up 0.8 and 66.4%, respectively. Based on it, the national emission factors of greenhouse gases from the flaring of associated petroleum gas are developed: the values are equal to 2.76 103 t CO2 and 0.0155 103 t CH4 per 1 106 m3 of the gas burnt. The calculations based on the emission factors led to the 37% increase in total equivalent emission of CO2 and CH4 as compared to the calculations based on the IPCC emission factors. The use of the national emission factors increases the reliability of the estimates of greenhouse gas emissions and the evaluation of their impact on climate.

The paper deals with the quantification of fine particulate matter (PM10) dispersion in atmospheric air of an industrial city using the AERMOD model by an example of Zhlobin (the Gomel oblast, Belarus). Model input data and procedures for the emission inventory and obtaining spatially distributed estimates are described. Emissions and dispersion of PM10 from the main categories of sources are considered, including industrial facilities, road and off-road mobile sources, domestic sector, and agriculture. It is shown that the main contribution to high PM10 concentrations in atmospheric air is made by industrial enterprises, the domestic sector, and road transport. The spatial pattern of urban air pollution is described. The simulation results are compared with the results of PM10 measurements at the monitoring site, their satisfactory consistency is demonstrated.

Some aspects of the natural mechanism of formaldehyde transformation in atmospheric air are considered. The chemical processes that provide a natural mechanism for the transformation of formaldehyde in the atmosphere of Tyumen, with the formation of carbon monoxide (CO), are refined. The values of temperature, air humidity, and atmospheric pressure favorable for photodissociation of formaldehyde in the atmosphere were established. It is shown that in the summer period of the year for class II weather, the formaldehyde content below the MPC was found in 77.8% of observations with a conjugate increase in CO concentrations in the atmospheric air. The most active natural processes of self-purification of the atmosphere from formaldehyde, contributing to the preservation of components of its natural composition, are implemented in the conditions of Sunny hot dry weather class II

Published: June 2021

This study investigated whether basic mathematics skills are associated with undergraduate psychology statistics course performance while simultaneously considering self-reported psychological/behavioral and demographic variables. Participants (n = 460) completed a Math Assessment for College Students (MACS), which included questions ranging from calculating percentages to graphical interpretation. The researchers used a discriminant correspondence analysis to reveal differences in course performance evaluated as the average of three exam grades. For the variation in the average exam scores accounted for by our model, the MACS scores provided the largest contribution. Other variables associated with better exam grades included white ethnicity, non-transfer status, lower year in school, and low procrastination. The researchers discuss the implications for helping instructors identify areas of basic mathematical deficiency and strength.

Evaluating the post-fire natural regeneration of Mediterranean-type scrublands in Central Spain
Authors: Magaña Ugarte Rosina , Redondo María Manuela , Sánchez-Mata Daniel
Published: June 2021

We performed a five-year assessment of the natural vegetation restoration capacity following the 2012 fires in Valdemaqueda (Madrid, Spain) via the characterization of the post-fire and residual vegetation and the analysis of soil physico-chemical characteristics. Six pilot-plots were established in the affected site. Forest species, representative of the potential natural vegetation of the area (Juniperus oxycedrus subsp. lagunae and Quercus rotundifolia woodlands) and broom shrubs (Cytisus scoparius, Retama sphaerocarpa) were planted to assess the relationship among the stages of ecological succession, competition, and soil restoration processes following devastating fire events.

The fire-driven alteration of the soil’s physico-chemical properties was evident, given the increased pH and reduced C/N ratio in the first years of the study. However, we observed an increased soil enrichment in the last years of study, accompanied by the propagation of herbaceous species, su[1]pporting our seed bank findings, showing a clear difference in the sprouting rate between burnt and control plots (80% vs. 20%, respectively). The establishment of robust, pyrophyte shrub species (Cistus ladanifer, C. laurifolius, Rosmarinus officinalis) rather than natural succession evidenced the clear conversion of the vegetation in burnt areas. These findings in the pilot-plots allowed evidencing the high vulnerability of the natural vegetation to the settling of pyrophytes, given their low survival rate under the strong competitive pressure of these pyrophytic species. The proliferation of these pyrophytes could translate into changes in soil macro- and microbiota, nutrient dynamics, species diversity, and interaction, added to the alteration of fire regimes in the area. Overall, these results highlight the risk for soil impoverishment and possible erosion of the fire-affected sites. Moreover, they underline the importance of the establishment and regeneration of Genisteae species to outcompete pioneer pyrophytic species, favoring the restoration of the area’s potential natural vegetation
La concordancia del participio pasado de los verbos pronominales

Published: June 2021

La gramática francesa es de una complejidad demostrada: nativo o extranjero, uno de los típicos errores cometidos por los aprendientes atañe a la concordancia del participio pasado de los verbos pronominales. Se constata una tendencia a hacer sistemáticamente la concordancia del participio pasado que, en algunos casos, es invariable. El presente estudio se basa en el análisis de un corpus de siete gramáticas del francés, publicadas en España durante los últimos cincuenta años. Las reglas son necesariamente las mismas; sin embargo, estos manuales las formulan de manera diferente: nuestro objetivo es comparar las explicaciones proporcionadas, para ver si su discurso responde realmente a las necesidades concretas del alumnado hispanohablante.
L' Euphorie perpétuelle » Lunes de fiel de Pascal Bruckner et L’échec de la vie à deux
Authors: Ruth Amar
Published: June 2021

Pascal Bruckner s’interroge sur l'évolution des rapports amoureux, la vie conjugale, le désir et les aspects associés au bonheur selon la conception occidentale. Poursuivant un raisonnement où il met en doute le bonheur des relations conjugales dans son roman Lunes de Fiel, il dresse une critique de la conjugalité des années quatre-vingt.  Bruckner examine la conception du bonheur dans la vie conjugale en exposant l'opposé de sa formule: en exhibant la faillite du couple, il y interroge incessamment les rapports de domination, d’humiliation et de destruction dans la monogamie. Y-a-t-il une possibilité d'atteindre le bonheur au sein de la vie conjugale? Le présent article insistera sur ces questions en analysant la manière dont Bruckner manie son texte littéraire déjà en 1981, afin d’élaborer de façon fictionnelle les idées philosophiques qui seront émises quelques vingt années plus tard dans ses essais.

An application of Boyer model in developing business faculty in accreditation council for business schools and programs (ACBSP) accreditation in Vietnamese membership institutes
Authors: Vo Hieu Minh , Luu Anh Bao The , Nguyen Nhung Hong
Published: June 2021

The Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP) is an accrediting body that assesses the quality and integrity of business-related training programs at educational institutions. As ACBSP applied the Boyer model in evaluating, categorising the business faculty, forcing the faculties to develop the quality of their human resources indirectly, improved education quality. This paper was written to reflect how the Boyer model was applied in business faculties in Vietnamese member institutes and how the institutes are changing to fulfill the standards. The methodology that would be used to analyze the secondary data is descriptive analysis. The data is collected under the acceptance of those institutes. The primary data could be deep interviews with faculty managers, faculty members, board of management of the institutes. In order to be more convincing, the research would also pick some ACBSP members as empirical studies. The findings of the research are the trends of the faculties and the lesson withdrawn from their changing experience.
The Effect of Multiple Imputations by Chained Equations on the Factors Associated with Immunization Coverage in India
Authors: Ganapathy Sachit , Bhaskarapillai Binukumar , Dandge Shailendra
Published: June 2021

Background: National Family Health Survey-4 (NFHS-4) revealed a significant improvement in the percentage of complete immunization attained in India. Even though determinants of immunization coverage in India are addressed by some studies, the impact of missing data in such large-scale surveys has not been accounted earlier. The present study aimed to identify the potential factors associated with immunization coverage in India using the complete case analysis (CCA) and multiple imputation by chained equations (MICE) analysis.
Materials and methods: We created a dichotomous immunization variable based on the status of all the vaccines given to the child. All relevant variables were summarized using appropriate descriptive statistics along with the proportion of missingness. Further, MICE procedure was performed to impute the missing values after assessing the missing data mechanism. Multiple logistic regression after accounting for the sampling weights were used to report the estimates of odds-ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for both CCA and MICE analysis and compared.
Results: The percentage of children under five years of age who had total immunization was 69%. Further, we observed that female sex and rural habitation had higher odds of getting immunized in both CCA and MICE. Moreover, wealth index, number of antenatal visits, checkup after delivery and place of birth played an important role in the immunization coverage.
Conclusion: MICE provided more precise risk estimates on potential factors associated with vaccination coverage compared to CCA, even if the major findings did not alter due to large sample size.

Key words: Immunization, Health surveys, missing data, Logistic regression, complete case analysis, MICE.

Published: June 2021

Postural and physiological changes are the distinct changes occurring in the adolescence which contributes fitness level of a child. The biomechanics of these children are highly affected by load carriage while climbing stairs which results in increase in cardio respiratory responses. Evaluation of the cardio respiratory changes is necessary in curbing further damage. In the study we evaluated the effect of backpack load influencing the cardio respiratory measures in stair climbing adolescents. 100 adolescents subjects aged 13-16 yrs were selected for the study, with graded loading for three consecutive days. Heart rate, rate of perceived exertion and respiratory rate were measured pre and post loading. Values of all the parameters on each day were compared. With increase in load, increase in heart rate, rate of perceived exertion and respiratory rate were significant when compared with progression in load. Although the measure which is highly affected amongst these was heart rate. The backpack with 30% load produces the elevation of variables at a greater extent hence there should be curbing of weight of 30% of adolescent’s body weight.

Key words: Adolescence, Backpack load, Rate of Perceived Exertion.

A Visual Design Framework and Assessment to Inform Instruction
Authors: Huber Sarah , Ravi Sivanand Puliyadi
Published: June 2021

As evidence of meeting program criteria required by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), engineering technology (ET) students are expected to both read and create graphical communications. Academic librarians’ visual literacy (VL) instruction can support ET students’ ability to communicate through graphics. Under comprehensive VL instruction, teaching visual design principles is an area of VL that supports graphical communication. An adaptive comparative judgment (ACJ) assessment was given to 115 ET students to inform visual design instruction and future research. A visual design framework supplemented the assessment to familiarize students with visual design principles. ACJ offers an alternative assessment model because instead of grading against a rubric of learning outcomes, it uses context to judge the quality of a work. The assessment results outline specific areas to focus visual design instruction for students to effectively navigate and create graphical communications.
Virtual Construction Kits

Published: June 2021

The “Studio of art designing” develops and publishes electronic creative education programs for children and young people. All virtual kits represent miniature programs each designed for a small but clear task. The main purpose of each construction kit is to reveal the meaning of some aspect of the creative process. Virtual construction kits suggest the user making their own work of art. However, this creative process is done with the help of means and methods that develop the user’s thinking. Thus, the user gets to know this phenomenon “from the inside.” Virtual kits have found application in textbooks for a comprehensive school and as an accompaniment to museum projects. Projects related to the Russian Avant-Garde, antique vase-painting, steampunk, infographics, animation, “laterna magica” and visual storytelling are used in many secondary schools and museums in Russia.
Determinants of Intelligent Energy Implementation Towards Firm Performance: A Conceptual Framework Moderated by Board Gender Diversity and Board Sustainability Committee
Authors: Baharudin Dayana Mastura , Marimuthu Maran
Published: June 2021

This study examines the impact of Intelligent Energy assessed by seven criteria to be followed by Malaysia’s listed companies (PLCs), regulated by Bursa Malaysia which are regulated by the Malaysian Corporate Governance Code 2017 (MCCG 2017)—30 percent Women Boards of Directors as well as by the existence of the Board Sustainability Committee which have not been endorsed by the MCCG 2017. In order to explore the reporting of the seven criteria of intelligent energy amongst Malaysian oil and gas public listed companies, in terms of gender-based and sustainability-based, it follows the methodology of descriptive statistics, regression analysis and content analysis derived from previous studies and the analysis of annual reports and integrated reports. This research provides a thorough analysis of present study breakthroughs in the worldwide oil and gas industry’s Integrated Operations. The 30 percent moderation factor Female Board members, as per the Malaysian Code of Corporate Governance 2017 (MCCG, 2017), would be assessed to see whether having an increased representation of women would encourage the implementation of the seven criteria of Intelligent Energy, as well as the moderation factor of the Board Sustainability Committee, which has not yet been made recommended practice by MCCG 2017, would be a driving force towards intelligent energy within the Malaysian oil and gas industry. Other than the Malaysian oil and gas sector, the Intelligent Energy scoring index might be used to other oil and gas PLCs in the ASEAN area, such as Vietnam and Myanmar, which have growing oil and gas resources.
A Critical Review of the National University of Lesotho Anti-Plagiarism Policy
Authors: Nketekete Malefetsane Elliot , Mojalefa Mamoeletsi Limakatso
Published: June 2021

Globally, higher education institutions (HEIs) adopt different strategies to curb plagiarism, which undermines the integrity of educational qualifications issued by these institutions. One of the key strategies adopted by HEIs is the development of anti-plagiarism policies. Emerging research from literature do indicate that effective strategies are educational and developmental intended to equip students with skills of acknowledging materials from other sources. Further, research indicates that anti-plagiarism policies reinforce negative attitudes towards plagiarism, hence adopting punitive strategies against the would-be perpetrators. The study reviewed the National University of Lesotho (NUL) anti-plagiarism policy, to determine the type of messages and discourses the policy communicates to its users. The study used document analysis, using the NUL anti-plagiarism policy as the unit of analysis. Content and discourse analysis were applied as research techniques. The study revealed that the policy communicated punitive and moral discourses. These discourses undermine the developmental aspects of academic writing. The study recommends the review of the policy to include educational and developmental discourses that would encourage that students’ academic writing is developed. Further, the University should review its policy not only to address students but members of staff.
Translation and Psychometric Evaluation of the Health Orientation Scale in a Greek Speaking Sample (Greece-Cyprus)
Authors: Togas Constantinos , Parlalis Stavros
Published: June 2021

Introduction

The examination of the impact of personality on physical health outcomes is valuable in health psychology. Health Orientation Scale (HOS) is a 50-item questionnaire developed to evaluate a persons’ health orientation.

Aim

To examine the Health Orientation Scale (HOS) psychometric properties in a community Greek-speaking sample in Greece and Cyprus.

Methods

A cross-sectional study was conducted, which lasted three months. Participants were 358 people between 18-73 years old (Mage = 34, SD = 9.35). There were 86 men (24.1%) and 271 women (75.9%). The first step included the translation of the HOS. Next, a composite questionnaire was distributed to the participants, including demographic data, Health Orientation Scale, Health Locus of Control Scale, Life Orientation Test-Revised, Body Appreciation Scale (BAS), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Statistical analysis was performed by SPSS v. 25.

Results

A three-factor structure similar to that found in the original validation was supported. Except for the “External Health Control” subscale (α=.46), the rest nine subscales of the HOS had good/excellent internal consistency, ranging from .76 to .87. Test-retest reliability of the ten subscales of the HOS was also adequate, ranging from r=.69 to .94. Concerning its construct (convergent and discriminant) validity, many significant correlations were found between the ten subscales of the HOS and Health Locus of Control, Life Orientation Test-Revised, Body Appreciation Scale (BAS), and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI).

Conclusion

The HOS is a valuable instrument to health psychologists and could be used for research and clinical purposes to assess people’s health orientation.

Authors: Aqiel Muhammad , Sujatmiko Ananda Putri
Published: June 2021

The number of candidates who have a kinship with political and/or government entities in the 2020 Pilkada in Indonesia has shot up compared to the previous period, namely originally 59 candidates (2005-2014 period), 86 candidates (2015-2018 period), now 124 candidates (2020-2024 period). The research aims to identify the most dominating dimensions of power in kinship politics by using the power cube theory. In summary, the power cube theory analyzes the interaction of power in 3 (three) dimensions, namely levels, spaces, and forms. The method used is a quantitative method with analytical hierarchy process techniques to determine the criteria for the highest kinship politics and to determine the regions with the highest kinship political relations based on the criteria. Researchers identified the potential impact of kinship politics practice using descriptive qualitative research methods. The results of the study found a visible dimension in the power cube theory, namely that poor regeneration of political parties dominates the causes of kinship politics (73% of the criteria weighted results). The regions with the highest kinship politics based on the criteria for weak party regeneration were South Sulawesi (60.3%), followed by Sumatra (24.88%) and Java (10.07%). There are 5 (five) potential impacts of the practice of kinship politics, namely versatile coalitions, policies originating from elite compromise, marginalized crucial public issues, the birth of regulations that accommodate the interests of actors outside of government, and the declining performance of the bureaucracy in bridging the needs of the people.

Published: June 2021

A bacia hidrográfica do Ribeirão Vermelho está localizada no noroeste do Estado do Paraná, onde a formação geológica é do Arenito Caiuá, com alto potencial e ocorrência de processos erosivos. O objetivo do estudo foi realizar análises das características morfométricas da microbacia do Ribeirão Vermelho e avaliar espacialmente a perda de solos através da Equação Universal da Perda de Solos, utilizando sistema de informação geográfica. O modelo é baseado nos fatores de Erosividade, Erodibilidade, Fator Topográfico e os Uso e Manejo da Terra. A microbacia possui área de 84,068 km2, com formato alongado, sem tendência a sofrer enchentes súbitas. A drenagem é de classe mediana, com uma declividade variando entre plana e ondulada. Pode-se observar que a bacia hidrográfica tem baixa perda de solo ao longo de sua extensão, porém, com vários locais com indícios de ocorrer alta perda de solo, principalmente onde a topografia é mais acentuada e a vegetação de pastagem e agricultura predominam. Devido a reduzida vegetação da mata ciliar no entorno do curso d’água, há fortes tendências de carreamento de sedimentos para o rio, bem como fortes enxurradas podem modificar o leito principal da drenagem.

Após a Revolução Industrial os modos de produção e consumo se modificaram, a procura por satisfação pessoal das pessoas levou a um consumismo extremo, resultando em diversos impactos negativos ao planeta. Deste modo, o consumo consciente surge como uma proposta de resgate da população em relação ao consumismo. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar o consumo consciente dos habitantes do município de Ivatuba-PR e identificar se a renda familiar da população tem influência no nível de consumo consciente. Para isso, aplicou-se um formulário com 25 perguntas baseadas na proposição de uma escala de consumo sustentável. Este questionário foi respondido por 260 habitantes do município. Para um melhor entendimento dos resultados as questões foram divididas em seis grupos: Consumo de produtos sustentáveis, separação de resíduos sólidos, reutilização de materiais, hábitos sustentáveis, pensamento crítico e perspectiva de mudança, analisados de acordo com a renda da população (até um salário-mínimo; 1 a 3 salários-mínimos; 3 a 5 e superior a 5). Os resultados mostraram que apenas a categoria com perguntas relacionadas ao consumo de produtos sustentáveis obteve respostas negativas em relação ao consumo consciente. De modo geral a população entrevistada apresentou um bom nível de consumo consciente, mas que pode ser melhorado com a disseminação de informações sobre o assunto. Neste trabalho também foi constatado que no município de Ivatuba a renda familiar não foi um fator de influência no nível de consumo consciente da população, destacando nesse caso que a condição financeira familiar não interferiu nas práticas de consumo consciente.
DESCARTE CORRETO E MEDICAMENTOS: UMA QUESTÃO DE SUSTENTABILIDADE
Authors: Fonseca Jussara Gonçalves
Published: June 2021

O presente trabalho tem como o objetivo promover atividades de conscientização do ensino fundamental da Escola Municipal Loide Bonfim de Andrade, orientando-os a respeito da forma correta de tratamento desses resíduos e as consequências do descarte incorreto. A prática desse descarte inadequado provoca sérias e danosas consequências à saúde pública e ao meio ambiente e associa-se o triste quadro socioeconômico de muitas famílias que, excluídas socialmente, sobrevivem dos lixões de onde retiram os materiais recicláveis que comercializam. O descarte aleatório de medicamentos em desuso, vencidos ou sobras atualmente é feito por grande parte das pessoas no lixo comum ou na rede pública de esgoto, podendo trazer como consequências a agressão ao meio ambiente, a contaminação da água, do solo e de animais. No contexto socioambiental, o descarte doméstico de medicamentos são questões para ser amplamente discutidas e estudadas em nível de saúde pública em que é necessária a responsabilidade coletiva para minimizar o uso excessivo de medicamentos pela população.

A arborização viária é um dos elementos de conexão mais significativos das pessoas com a natureza. Entretanto, quando não planejada de maneira coerente, pode estar associada a conflitos com os equipamentos urbanos. Desta forma, o presente trabalho buscou mapear e avaliar a arborização urbana de Godoy Moreira – PR de modo a contribuir para o planejamento ambiental da cidade, que possui 3.178 habitantes, sendo a maior parte concentrada na zona rural, fato que o enquadra na classificação de município urbano-rural. A metodologia englobou uma avaliação quali-quantitativa da arborização com o auxílio do programa SWmaps e o Qgis 2.18 para coleta e espacialização das informações. O censo realizado resultou em 551 indivíduos, com abundância de Poincianella pluviosa var. peltophoroides (Benth.) L.P.Queiroz (31,1%), e Terminalia catappa L. (20,8%). Considerando todos os indivíduos, 43,5% apresentam algum conflito com equipamentos urbanos. O georreferenciamento da arborização promoveu uma maior compreensão dos locais que apresentam conflitos, podendo assim, subsidiar a periodicidade de manejo, bem como ações que norteiam a adequação da estrutura verde da cidade. Desta forma, conclui-se que o mapeamento das espécies arbóreas é um instrumento que apresenta viabilidade técnica e econômica para a aplicação em municípios urbano-rurais.
AVALIAÇÃO DA QUALIDADE DO AR NA CIDADE DE SOROCABA – SP: UMA ABORDAGEM SOBRE AS PARTÍCULAS INALÁVEIS (MP 10)

Published: June 2021

O aumento das fontes de emissão e da concentração dos poluentes atmosféricos nos últimos anos têm acarretado diversos impactos na sociedade e no meio ambiente, levando pesquisadores a estudar os fenômenos que influenciam a sua quantidade na atmosfera. Neste contexto, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar o efeito das variáveis meteorológicas na concentração de material particulado menor que 10 µm (MP₁₀) na cidade de Sorocaba-SP. Para tanto, foram analisados dados meteorológicos (precipitação, umidade relativa, velocidade do vento e temperatura) de maio de 2019 a maio de 2020 obtidos pelo banco de dados do INMET e associados aos índices de MP₁₀ fornecidos pela plataforma online do QUALAR. Com a análise dos índices de MP₁₀ observou-se que a cidade de Sorocaba está situada em sua maioria na categoria “Boa” de qualidade do ar segundo a resolução CONAMA 491/2018 o que pode estar relacionado a qualidade da arborização urbana do local. Ainda, a partir da construção dos gráficos de relação dos parâmetros e a análise da correlação de Pearson foi constatado que a umidade relativa e temperatura são os fatores mais relevantes na dispersão do material particulado. Desta forma, ressalta-se a importância do monitoramento da qualidade do ar para subsidiar políticas públicas que garantam a qualidade ambiental das cidades.

Why Hayne May Change Compliance Internationally
Authors: Coburn Niall
Published: June 2021

Australia’s Hayne Royal Commission report into the financial sector outlines 76 recommendations involving significant changes to the way the financial sector should change in a bid to end misconduct and ensure that organisations act in the best interests of their clients. The major themes were concentrated around culture, governance, management accountability, conduct, remuneration and the performance of regulators. Hayne’s simple message is that organisations should obey the law, not mislead or deceive and be fair in the services they provide, and ensure products are fit for purpose and be delivered with skill and care in the best interests of their clients. The upshot of Hayne’s report will provide compliance and risk teams within organisations, a more principled based mandate to “call out” corporate wrongdoing. The main message for financial institutions, senior executives and directors, is to “ignore compliance advice at your peril”.
Governing Esports: Public Policy, Regulation and the Law
Authors: Windholz Eric
Published: June 2021

Esport is an enigma – at once a sport; technological innovation; and profit maximizing business. As a sport, it has much in common with traditional sports. It has leagues and franchises, teams and skilled players, competitions, sponsors, broadcasters and, at the elite level, significant prize money and all the risks that come with it. As a technological innovation, it has created new markets and value networks outside the control of sports’ traditional hegemony. And while many sports today generate significant revenues, esports differ because of the primacy of its profit motive. Unlike traditional sports, it does not see itself as the custodian of artefacts of great socio-cultural importance. This gives rise to a plethora of governance, policy, regulatory and legal issues. This article examines these issues through the lens of regulatory scholarship. Regulatory scholarship provides a valuable framework for examining why governments regulate in the form in which they regulate. Regulatory theory looks behind governments’ stated public interest purposes to examine the impact private interests, institutional parameters, and ideational currents have on the regulatory endeavour. Regulatory scholarship enables us to look beyond traditional doctrinal law to debate the many complex issues and multiple perspectives inherent in the phenomena that is esports.
Enhancing institutional support to ensure timely PhD completions in law
Authors: Lindley Jade , Skead Natalie , Montalto Michael
Published: June 2021

Doctor of Philosophy (‘PhD’) students in Australia undertake at least three years of full-time equivalent independent research to generate innovative knowledge within their chosen discipline. Research indicates, however, that globally half of all enrolled PhD students fail to complete. For those who do complete, despite the increasing imposition of academic milestones and supervisory requirements, many require an extension or an approved period of interruption of their candidature. While attracting and retaining high-quality PhD students who complete their research project within the required timeframe is an institutional priority for all universities, the availability of programs to support the timely completion of PhD theses across Australian universities, is variable. Moreover, little is known specifically about the institutional support programs available for students undertaking a PhD in law, reasons for adopting chosen support programs, or how effective the programs that are available are in supporting students to successful and timely completions. The research study across select Australian universities reported on in this article sought to begin to close this knowledge gap. In doing so, it: 1) provides an overview and synthesis of the Australian and international literature on achieving timely PhD completions across disciplines; 2) presents the results from two surveys: a perceptions survey of students enrolled in PhD programs at Australian law schools; and a survey of the support programs offered at 16 Australian law schools; and 3) drawing on the conclusions from the literature and survey results, explores how best to support PhD students in law to successful and timely completions. Key conclusions emerged from this study relevant to both law PhD students and law schools. Overwhelmingly, the results indicate that the importance of a collegial and communicative supervisor cannot be overstated. Further, students who engage informally with other academics (such as PhD mentors) as well as their PhD peers are also more likely to complete. Overall, while acknowledging that, inevitably, personal characteristics and circumstances affect PhD success, we conclude that institutional level support may nonetheless contribute to timely completions in law.
