INTEGRATED DIMENSIONS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Bharad Bhavesh
Published: July 2020

Sustainable development as defined by the Brundtland Commission 30 years ago
is “development which meets the needs of current generations without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs”.1 Human rights are those basic rights and freedoms to which all humans are born with. When the basic needs and fundamental rights of individuals are not met, the ability to participate in social, economic, and environmental systems that promote sustainability is compromised. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was adopted at United Nations General Assembly through: "Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development." 2 The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges faced like, those related to poverty, hunger, inequality, discrimination, climate action, quality education, health, clean water and sanitation, peace and justice etc. All these hallenges are containing the human rights. The doctrine of these human rights without implementation of 17 Goals and 169 targets of the SDGs will not achieve their goal to ‘leave no one behind’. These means the SDGs require all goals to be reached, for everyone – especially those who are far away from this. Although, that the term human right is not mentioned anywhere in all the 17 SDGs. So, my present paper focuses on a study how the contributions of sustainable development are integrated to human rights. Societal factors which influence human rights. Societal factors which influence human rights and global sustainability are often found deeply rooted and when these services not provided, it may pose a risk to citizens and their human rights, creating a conflict and instability, preventing them from participating fully in society, feeding an unjust cycle.

Enclothed Knowledge: The Fashion Show as a Method of Dissemination in Arts-Informed Research
Authors: Barry Ben
Published: July 2020

In this article, I investigate the processes, benefits, and dilemmas of producing a fashion show as a method of dissemination in arts-informed qualitative research. I examine a project that used a fashion show to analyze and represent interview findings about men’s understandings and performances of masculinities. Fashion shows facilitate the dissemination of new qualitative data — what I coin “enclothed knowledge” — that is embodied and inaccessible through static or verbal descriptions. Fashion shows also enable participants to shape knowledge circulation and allow researchers to engage diverse audiences. Despite these benefits, researchers have to be mindful of ethical dilemmas that occur from the absence of anonymity inherent in public performances; therefore, I suggest strategies to mitigate these threats to research ethics. Ultimately, I argue that fashion shows advance social justice because the platform can transform narrow, stereotypical understandings of marginalized identities.

Published: July 2020

Grape is one of the most important fruit crop in the world due to its nutritional and therapeutic value. Grapes are good source of dietary sugars, organic acids and some vitamins. The seedless raisins are called as Kishmish. Raisin not only provides sweetness but also is excellent source of dietary fibres, some amount of minerals and vitamins. The study on making grape raisins was carried by. Open drying (Sun drying) is widely used due to its low initial and running costs but depend mainly on weather conditions, which can induce microbial and insect contamination and hence, lower their quality. Drying rate and drying time was faster in tray drying compare to others three drying methods but the disadvantage of tray drying was it is batch process and cannot be used for mass production and the consumption of power is more. The quality of raisins from sensory evaluation were highly accepted in controlled shade drying where temperature and humidity is maintain as per the requirement and least accepted in open drying. Controlled shade drying is better drying method compare to other methods as it is a continuous process and less chances of contamination and high quality of product is obtained. The mean score for colour/appearance, texture, taste, flavour and acceptability of the raisins prepared by different drying methods ranged from 6.1 to 8.4, 6.3 to 8.1, 6.2 to 8.3, 6.3 to 8.0 and 6.2 to 8.3 respectively.
When Country Matters More than Europe: What Role for EU Cohesion Policy?
Authors: Perucca Giovanni
Published: July 2020

This paper analyses the relationship between country and European identity, and how Cohesion Policy can influence it. While the two sentiments are positively correlated, empirical evidence shows that this association significantly decreased in the last two decades, jointly with an increase in the support of nationalisms and Eurosceptic parties. It is therefore interesting to understand what is the role of EU regional policy in mediating citizens’ identification. To elements of Cohesion Policy are expected to be associated to the citizens’ preference for their country over Europe: the intensity of funding and the perceived outcome of EU regional policy. Results show that regional divergence is mirrored by a divergence also in identity, i.e. citizens identify more and more with their country and less with Europe. On the other hand, the intensity of funding is substantially neutral in this process.

Authors: Wang Jiangshan , Meng Lingxiong , Jia Hongen
Published: July 2020

In this paper, we construct a modular grad-div stabilization method for the Navier-Stokes/Darcy model, which is based on the first order Backward Euler scheme. This method does not enlarge the accuracy of numerical solution, but also can improve mass conservation and relax the influence of parameters. Herein, we give stability analysis and error estimations. Finally, by some numerical experiment, the scheme our proposed is shown to be valid.
A Review on Non-Supervised Approaches for Cyberbullying Detection
Authors: Abou El-Seoud Samir , Farag Nadine , McKee Gerard
Published: July 2020

The current period is dominated by social networks in daily life. Despite the several efforts and research practices done to overcome the issue, it still presents a problem. Despite the fact that social networks are useful for social gathering and communication, they also present new opportunities for harmful criminal acts. Cyber-harassment is an example that is enabled through the mistreatment and abuse of the internet as a means of harassing or bullying others virtually. To minimize these occurrences, research into computer-based methods has been per-formed to detect cyber-harassment. This literature survey shows that supervised learning methods were mostly used for cyber-bullying detection. Moreover, some non-supervised methods and other techniques have also shown to be effective in terms of accuracy towards cyber-bullying detection. This paper, therefore, surveys existing recent research on non-supervised techniques as well as it summarizes accuracy results obtained from several papers to discuss the significance of non-supervised learning approaches in comparison with traditional learning methods.
Multi-Perspectives of Cloud Computing Service Adoption Quality and Risks in Higher Education
Authors: Ali Mohammed Banu
Published: July 2020

Universities worldwide are starting to turn to cloud computing. The quality characteristics, which include access to a wider network of computing resources, pay-as-you-go services, self-services, agile services, and resource centralisation provide a convincing argument for HEIs to adopt cloud services. However, the risks leading to non-adoption range from security issues to a lack of cloud vendor support. The findings suggest that security, privacy, and trust are the key determinants to non-adoption as stakeholders felt that the cloud cannot fully guarantee the safeguarding of sensitive information. Key determinants to cloud adoption include improving relationships between students and teachers via collaborative tools and proposing cloud apps for mobile devices for accessing virtual learning materials and email securely off-campus. In conclusion, university stakeholders are still unconvinced about adopting cloud services, but future advances of the cloud may help to steer their decision to adopt this innovative technology given its overwhelming potential.

Published: July 2020

Digitization and the globalization of English have made it possible to incorporate different forms of digital technology into the infrastructure of English language programs. However, there are no clear criteria in the existing literature to identify and evaluate appropriate language-learning technology tools. To fill the gap, this project proposed empirically supported guidelines in a rubric called the ULTIA Rubric to facilitate and accelerate the process of identifying and evaluating technology-supported language-learning tools. The ULTIA Rubric has its basis in the major components of the five concepts of universal design for learning (UDL), learning science (LS), technology acceptance model (TAM), intelligent tutoring system (ITS), and automatic speech recognition (ASR). The rubric can function as a practical solution for program administrators, instructors, and English language learners (ELLs) who are seeking a reliable roadmap to evaluate language-learning software.

Increasing Education's Return Rate for Public Interest Professionals
Authors: Fisher Robert Leslie
Published: July 2020

The author argues that the student loan debt crisis is, in fact, a shortage of public interest professionals. Solving this problem requires replacing the Becker Human Capital Model with a new post-secondary finance model, based on a suggestion of Carolyn Hoxby. The new model says that if the social benefits exceed the upfront costs, get the education. This is in contrast to the previous model that says if the lifetime income exceeds the upfront costs, get the education. The new model suggests counseling to help students be efficient in their college careers and back end debt forgiveness for people recruiting to public interest professions. Pell Grants tied to particular career paths would be used to attract non-traditional students to prepare for public interest careers.

Published: July 2020

Chemical engineering and higher education profile in Romania have a prestigious tradition. Declared a national priority, Romanian higher education has developed and has become a mass education. There was an extension and uncontrolled chemical engineering education, especially environmental engineering. In addition to traditional chemical engineering, education has appeared in places without a university tradition; new universities and faculties of study in this area and other universities and colleges have expanded the frontiers of research in education for green engineering. The study majorly focused to explore extent of chemical engineering career intention and to explore the relationship exist between engineering environment intentions with selected independent variables. The results show that demographic decline, decreased social inertia, and brain drain made the interest in chemical engineering and environmental study decline. In these circumstances, the present competition between providers of education in chemical engineering and environment is tough.
Education and Altruism and the Competence That Students Do Not Know They Possess
Authors: Iaquinta Rosa , Milito Francesco
Published: July 2020

The term altruism in Italian contains semantic root “other” that means the one who is distinct from itself. Its meaning indicates love towards one's neighbor, more particularly, the attitude of one who directs his work towards the goal of achieving the good of others (or if you prefer, to find the own good in the good of others). Educating the students requires a particular educational-training plan. The school is responsible of this type of education, which is not only necessary within the class, but it is the necessary attitude to face the increasingly complex social problems of our time. The self-centered culture is infusing in everyone the convinction that people do not need a community anymore, promoting the abandonment of feelings, and of the sharing of relationships with the neighbor. The path to take is based on the education to the developmet of pro-socal competences, bringing into play the community as a relationship founded on the research of the common welfare.
A Survey on the Use of Adaptive Learning Techniques Towards Learning Personalization
Authors: Banerjee Sonali , Deb Kaustuv , Das Atanu , Bag Rajib
Published: July 2020

E-learning has a great impact on learners today. E-learning supports enhancing learner knowledge anytime, anywhere with lesser efforts than traditional models. In these situations, nonlinear approaches often modify teaching and learning strategies according to students' needs, and hence, automated machine-guided approaches seem useful in the name of adaptive learning. It identifies individual learner styles and provides the most suitable strategy that fits each learner as a case of personalization. Adaptive learning uses personalization for continuously improving student outcomes. Personalized learning takes place when e-learning systems use educational experience supporting desires, objectives, endowments, and curiosities of each individual learner. This work has reviewed the recent developments in the problem area of learning personalization through adaptive learning. Then the solution domain methods are compared to identify the knowledge and technology gap from their limitations. These analyses help to identify research potentials in learning technology for future works.

Youth and Politics in Turkey in the Context of Education and Cultural Policies
Authors: Koroglu Ahmet
Published: July 2020

The educational and cultural policies in Turkey are among the important issues impacting Turkish society and inherited from the Ottoman period. These issues show themselves in Turkey’s conception of civilization and perception of the world in particular. Therefore, Turkey’s educational and cultural policies are the main factor in detecting and specifying this conception and perception. On the point where even the conceptual definition of education and culture is exceedingly difficult, these concepts turn into a policy at the practical level, which is a problem in itself. The Republic of Turkey has deeply experienced this problem, and the steps taken on this topic have brought together many new and different problems. This article will primarily address the relationship of education and culture with youth as well as examine the process of how they transform into a policy. Later the practical developments of these phenomena will be examined with a certain historical process. At that point, the educational and cultural policies dating from the foundation of the Republic to the present will be discussed both through the breaking points as well as through the governmental and political-party programs. Last but not least, the article will briefly examine the objectives of these policies and what effect it has had on the 21st century Turkish youth.

Molecular Classification of Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Mentha pulegium Oils Components
Authors: Torrens Zaragozá Francisco
Published: July 2020

Eucalyptus and Mentha remain flavours in agro-food manufacturing. Oils and components present antifungal potency vs. decay of fruits; E. camaldulensis is led by 1,8-cineole and a‑pinene, unlike M. pulegium, which is led by pulegone. The antifungal activity of M. pulegium is three times more frequent than that of E. camaldulensis. The phytochemicals present synergy. Categorization is recommended on the basis of information entropy. The quantity of C-C double bonds, O-atoms and cycles cluster structures. The procedure undergoes a combinatorial upsurge. Nevertheless, following equipartition conjecture, one gets a criterion for selection. Entropy allows clustering phytochemicals according to cluster and principal component analyses. In the periodic classification, components in the same column show similar features. Phytochemicals in the same row present utmost similarity.
Especies vegetales como antioxidantes de alimentos
Authors: Serra Bisbal Juan José , Melero Lloret Joana , Martínez Lozano Gemma , Fagoaga Carmen
Published: July 2020

La oxidación lipídica es la principal reacción deteriorativa de los alimentos, tanto en el procesado como en su almacenamiento. Ambas circunstancias limitan la vida de la mayoría de los alimentos, lo que causa olor y sabor a rancidez en ellos, un proceso que se conoce como rancidez oxidativa. Además, la oxidación lipídica puede dañar membranas biológicas, enzimas y proteínas, y provocar la aparición de compuestos secundarios potencialmente tóxicos. Para controlar estos procesos oxidativos, la adición de antioxidantes es una estrategia común contra las reacciones oxidativas en el procesado o almacenamiento de los alimentos. Los antioxidantes comúnmente utilizados han empezado a preocupar en la sociedad actual acerca de los efectos nocivos que puedan tener en la salud humana. Recientemente está emergiendo una industria de antioxidantes naturales derivados de especies vegetales que pueden reemplazar a los antioxidantes sintéticos. El enriquecimiento de alimentos procesados con extractos de vegetales no solo resuelve el problema de la oxidación del alimento sino que también puede resultar en una mejora de la salud del consumidor. Estos compuestos naturales son mayoritariamente polifenoles (ácidos fenólicos, flavonoides, antocianinas, ligninas), carotenoides (xantofilas y carotenos), tocoferoles, tocotrienoles y algunos aminoácidos y péptidos. Se encuentran ampliamente distribuidos en las diferentes especies de cereales, aromáticas, frutales, cultivos hortícolas y semillas oleaginosas. Los antioxidantes naturales presentes en especies vegetales aromáticas como el romero (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) y la salvia (Salvia officinalis L.) ya se están comercializando como conservantes alimentarios naturales y seguros, aplicándose en alimentos ricos en grasas como los aceites vegetales.

Published: July 2020

The clinical results of a case demonstrating dental implant insertion in a patient receiving chemotherapy is the focus of this report. A 74-year-old male patient came on his own accord because five units of porcelain long bridge in his right mandibular region were loosened. The one abutment tooth had a severe problem due to the periodontal problem (tooth 47), and teeth 43 and 44 were treated with root canal treatment, intrapulp post and porcelain crowns. After insertion of the fixture bone level implant, the patient is diagnosed with lymphoma and chemotherapy is performed for treatment. Clinically, the implants had no mobility, with no apparent exudate or bleeding upon probing 1 year after. At the time second procedures were performed, the dental implants had provided support for the abutments. One of the abutments was changed with anatomic abutment due to realignment of prosthesis position. Finally, three crowns porcelain fused to metal were used as final restorations and harmonized occlusion was achieved. The following is a discussion of the purposes and technique used for the insertion of these dental implants.

Data dari Badan Pusat Statistik Kota Ambon tahun 2017 menyebutkan sebanyak 92,37 persen penduduk Kota Ambon bertempat tinggal di perkotaan. Koran Harian Kabar Timur tahun 2019 menyebutkan setiap warga Ambon pasti mempunyai handphone. Terdapat suatu perkecualian, yaitu pemanfaatan Facebook belumlah familiar dipakai untuk e-commerce, sebab masih mengutamakan jual-beli secara tatap-muka langsung dengan penjual maupun melalui iklan baris di surat kabar, dan hal ini berakibat di masa depan tingkat penerimaan masyarakat Ambon menjadi rendah terhadap e-commerce melalui Facebook, dan pemasar online mengalami kehilangan kesempatan bertransaksi, sehingga masyarakat Ambon dapat tertinggal dibanding wilayah yang lain dalam kegiatan e-commerce melalui Facebook. Hasil analisis jalur menyimpulkan bahwa Perceive Ease of Use (PEOU) memberi pengaruh signifikan secara langsung terhadap Perceived Usefulness (PU), PEOU memberi pengaruh signifikan secara tidak langsung terhadap Attitude Toward Using (ATU), PEOU melalui PU secara tidak langsung mempunyai pengaruh signifikan terhadap ATU, ATU secara langsung memberi pengaruh signifikan terhadap Behavioral Intention Use (BIU), dan BIU secara langsung memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap Actual System Usage. Dengan analisis ketercapaian skore mengenai fitur-fitur Facebook, menghasilkan rekomendasi bahwa fitur-fitur di Facebook dapat dikembangkan lagi dengan menambahkan kemudahan-kemudahan yang lain agar menarik perhatian responden sehingga bersedia membuka Facebook minimal 1 jam per hari untuk kegiatan e-commerce. Kata kunci: Pemilihan handphone, SAW, SPK

Lojistik merkezlerin kurulması, coğrafi olarak lojistik yolları üzerinde bulunan ülkemizin ekonomik gelişimi için yapılabilecek yatırımlarda stratejik önem arz etmektedir. Yatırım kararı alınması sonrasında oluşturulacak eylem planında ele alınması ve mutlaka çözülmesi gereken en önemli sorun bu merkezlerin ülkemizin hangi bölge veya bölgelerinde olması gerektiğidir. Kuruluş yeri tayin problemlerinin çözülmesinde kullanılan mevcut birçok yöntem olmasına rağmen çok kriterli karar verme yöntemi ilk sıralarda yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada, TCDD bünyesinde etüt ve fizibilite çalışmaları tamamlanan ve ihale aşamasına gelen 6 adet lojistik merkezi ele alınmıştır. Çalışmanın öncelikli amacı en doğru lojiktik merkezin belirlenmesi ve bu merkezin geliştirilmesidir. Lojistik Master Planında belirlenen kriterler doğrultusunda 6 adet lojistik merkez yatırımı Çok Kriterli Karar Verme yöntemlerinden Analitik Hiyerarşi Süreci ve TOPSIS yöntemleri ile değerlendirilmiştir. AHS yöntemi kullanılarak kriterlerin ağırlıkları belirlenmiş, güncel verilerle karar matrisi oluşturulmuş ve TOPSIS yöntemi ile yatırımların sıralamaları belirlenmiştir.
Dinamik Fren Kullanımının Yük Vagonu Tekerleklerine Gelen Isıl Yüke Etkisinin Gerçek İşletme Şartlarında Deneysel Olarak İncelenmesi

Bir yük treninin frenleme işleminde hava freni ve yardımcı bir fren olan dinamik fren kullanılır. Hava freninde, fren pabucu (sabo) ile tekerlek yuvarlanma yüzeyi arasında oluşturulan sürtünme kuvveti frenlemeyi sağlar. Dinamik frende ise tren katarının hızının azaltılması için cer motorları bir jeneratör gibi kullanılmakta ve böylece trenin kinetik enerjisi elektrik enerjisine dönüştürülmektedir. Ülkemizde yük vagonu taşımacılığında kullanılan lokomotiflerin yaklaşık % 42’sinde dinamik fren bulunmamaktadır. Vagonların aşağı yönlü hareketinde, bazı güzergâhlarda, vagon hızını kontrol amaçlı, uzun süreli “sürükleme freni” yapılması gerekmekte, bu durum tekerleklerde çok yüksek sıcaklıklar oluşmasına sebep olabilmektedir. Oluşan bu yüksek sıcaklıklar sebebiyle çok çeşitli tekerlek hasarları oluşmakta ve bu durum demiryolu güvenliğini azaltmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, tekerlek ısınması sebebiyle tekerlek hasarlarının sıkça gözlemlendiği Gümüş-Yenice arasında (ortalama eğim ‰ 13,4 ve toplam uzaklık 94 km) çalışan iki konteyner vagonunda seyrüsefer boyunca tekerlek yuvarlanma yüzeyinde oluşan sıcaklıklar, vagon hızı, fren silindirlerinde oluşan basınç verileri kaydedilmiştir. Tam dolu olan test vagonlarının bulunduğu katar, 12 adet Rgns vagonu ve DE 33000 dizel lokomotiften oluşturulmuştur. O bölgede hâlihazırda çalışan ve dinamik freni olmayan lokomotiflerin de kullanılması sebebiyle Hacıkırı - Durak istasyonları arasında lokomotifte bulunan dinamik fren devre dışı bırakılmış sadece hava freni kullanılmıştır. Gerçek işletme şartlarında yapılan test sonuçlarına göre dinamik frenin devre dışı bırakıldığı, istasyonlar arası rakım farkının 350 m olduğu Hacıkırı-Durak istasyonları arasında tekerleklere gelen frenleme enerjisi, vagon başına 363,7 MJ’dür. Buna karşın, dinamik frenin kullanıldığı Gümüş- Pozantı istasyonları arasında, rakım farkının daha fazla olmasına rağmen (515 m), bu değer vagon başına yalnızca 58,6 MJ olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Test boyunca, dinamik frenin kullandığı bölgelerde tekerleğin yuvarlanma yüzeyinin sıcaklıkları 100 oC civarında iken dinamik frenin kullanılmadığı Hacıkırı-Durak istasyonları arasında (22 km) tekerleğin yuvarlanma yüzeyi sıcaklığı 350 oC’ye kadar yükselmiştir ve ayrıca bu güzergahta bir saboda parça kopması da gözlenmiştir.
Framing US-Mexican Borderlands: Phillip Rodriguez' visual aesthetics
Authors: Lanslots Inge , Dupré Natalie
Published: July 2020

As cidades fronteiriças dos Estados Unidos e do México são geralmente definidas como multiculturais e cidades transnacionais relativamente recentes, as quais se afastaram apesar de seu passado histórico comum. A política de fronteira, que começou efetivamente durante a administração de Eisenhower, parece favorecer outras diferenças. Cidades fronteiriças, assim como a (construção) da identidade de seus habitantes – estejam eles de passagem ou não – agora parecem mudar mais drasticamente. O presente artigo analisa como o documentarista Phillip Rodriguez traduz o imaginário urbano e as mudanças etnográficas para as telas, especialmente em Mixed Feelings: San Diego/Tijuana (2002) e Los Angeles Now (2003). Será dada muita atenção às estratégias multimodais e outras práticas discursivas, assim como para o dominante uso da Língua Inglesa e ao enfoque de alguma forma enviesado dos atores sociais envolvidos na zona de fronteira. Nós argumentamos que, em seu retrato das cidades fronteiriças, Rodriguez convida sua audiência a considerar essas cidades a partir de uma perspectiva do norte, desejando representar mundos multifacetados e conectados, enquanto se visualiza espaços duais e divididos. Procuramos, dessa forma, responder a questão de em que medida o discurso nas cidades fronteiriças enriquece o polissistema socio-cultural em termos de transmissão de conhecimento e dos efeitos relacionados às experiências de vida em fronteiras urbanas.

Launching an EdD in Community College Leadership Program with Activism in Mind
Authors: Harrington Christine , Melendez John
Published: July 2020

The purpose of this article is to share an example of how an activism framework was used to design and launch a new EdD in Community College Leadership. Capper, Theoharis, and Sebastian’s (2006) framework for preparing leaders for social justice along with the Carnegie Project for the Education Doctorate’s (CPED) guiding principles and the American Association of Community College’s ([AACC], 2018) competencies for community college leaders guided program design and implementation. Marketing and recruiting efforts aimed at identifying a talented, diverse cohort and on-boarding strategies focused on creating a safe learning environment and a sense of urgency related to social justice and equity are shared. Examples of how activism is being emphasized through coursework and plans to nurture activism through experiential learning and the dissertation are also discussed. Doctoral programs seeking to promote activism will discover an effective framework and practical examples for this work.
Opening Up to Hard History: Activating Anti-Racism in an Immersive Ed.D. Cohort Experience at Heritage Sites in Montgomery, Alabama

The Ed.D. program in Heritage Leadership for Sustainability, Social Justice, and Participatory Culture at the University of Missouri—St. Louis helps students cultivate the mindsets and skill sets required to sustain, pluralize, and enliven heritage in the public sphere. Although the program primarily meets synchronously online, the January 2020 “Wintercession” field trip to heritage sites in Montgomery, Alabama, provided an opportunity for face-to-face interactions, deep conversation, and reflection. Curricular, conversational, and collaborative inquiry deepened awareness and activated activism toward issues of racial justice. The use of high-impact practices (Kuh, 2008) allowed the cohort and faculty mentors to delve further into heritage leadership themes, including: confronting difficult emotions, recognizing sanctified space, facilitating group bonding and trust building, identifying models for activism, and moving forward in activism. We argue that the emergence of these themes demonstrates the value of immersing students and faculty in a shared, high-impact experience that focused on awareness, remembering, and wondering—the process of imagining the not yet (Keenan-Lechel et al., 2019)—as a means to “activate activism” in a cohort-based Ed.D. program.
