AbstractIn this study, we explored the effects of mentor and mentee insecure attachment dispositions (ambivalence and avoidance) on mentoring relationship quality while considering the specific nature of the interactive mentoring context. Participants (N = 252 matches) were enrolled in the MIRES program, a one-year college-based mentoring program that matches late adolescent mentees (17-year-olds) with young adult mentors (23-year-olds), designed to facilitate the transition to college. Using data drawn from mentors’ logbooks (at nine time points), two interactive contexts were addressed: (1) situations involving mentee academic issues and mentor proactive academic support (academically oriented), and (2) situations involving mentee personal issues and mentor emotional support, and caring (emotionally oriented). Linear regression results showed that both mentors’ and mentees’ avoidance uniquely predicted lower reports of mentoring relationship quality, but especially in emotionally oriented matches and when their partners’ attachment ambivalence was high. In matches less focused on emotional support, mentors’ attachment avoidance interacted with mentees’ ambivalence to predict positive mentoring relationship quality. Theoretical, practical, and mentor training issues are discussed.

Relationship Effectiveness

School engagement is an important predictor of graduation. One strategy to enhance student engagement is mentoring. Check & Connect is a structured mentoring program that has resulted in favorable outcomes for many students, including those with emotional and behavioral disorders. Effectiveness, however, depends on the quality of the mentor–mentee relationship. Although research has examined factors that increase relationship effectiveness, findings have been inconsistent. We explored the perceptions and correspondence of 166 high school students (i.e., mentees) with social, emotional, and/or behavioral challenges and their mentors about the mentoring relationship and variables that contribute to relationship quality. Results indicated that mentors and mentees rated the relationship favorably and their ratings correlated moderately. Mentor and mentee variables examined (gender, ethnicity/race, age) were not significant predictors of relationship quality; however, specific topics discussed during mentoring sessions for mentors (family, friends) and mentees (school, future plans) were significantly related to their perceptions of relationship quality.

Objective: The need for mentoring of undergraduate medical students has been well perceived and  several medical institutions have started the practice of setting up mentoring programs. Program evaluation  is  essential  in establishing an effective mentoring program. With  students being the core of the program, their expectations from the program needs due consideration to analyze the outcome efficacy of the program. This  study was done as  part of program  evaluation to analyze  the opinion of mentees  on  impact of  mentoring  and on  mentee-mentor relationship. The aim was to use the input of this feedback to improve  the conduction of the program for the next batch of students. Material & Methods: A mentoring program was started for 150 1stM.B.B.S students . After one year a  feedback questionnaire with 15 likert type items  and  4 open ended questions was  given.  The questions were pertaining to  process , outcome of program  and  mentor-mentee relationships. Two  of the  open ended questions were based on concept of negative mentoring.  125 students gave  feedback voluntarily. Results: 85% of mentees   agreed upon the  need for mentoring for all students. Majority felt that mentoring had only helped in academics and not in improving behavior. More than 50%  agreed  that mentors should be   involved in personal aspects besides academics. Responses   to open ended questions has well expressed their expectations from  mentors and perceived  lacunae . There was  a clear perception on the  need for quality in  mentoring. Their responses  has also given us a list  of causes  for discordant  mentor-mentee relationship,  majority of  which can be rectified by training mentors. Conclusion: Feedback from students after implementing a mentoring program can be considered  very  essential  for effective mentoring. The feedback  has exposed the need   to have  good  mentors who can build a satisfying trustworthy mentoring relationship. Training for  mentors can be an effective solution and  should be a part of the mentoring program early during the planning phase.

Expected Outcomes

Candidates who pursue a Doctor of Education (EdD) often have a unique set of challenges as these candidates typically hold professional leadership roles in schools, districts, or organizations while taking courses and completing a dissertation. EdD candidates may benefit from participating in a mentoring relationship to gain social, emotional, academic, and career readiness support. In this paper, we explore perceptions of an EdD mentoring program related to sustainability, networking, and expected outcomes of their current mentoring opportunities. Perceptions of mentors’ and mentees’ self-efficacy, readiness, and progress are also studied in order to better support candidates in completing the doctoral program.

Abstract Background Research finds center-based child care typically benefits children of low socio-economic status (SES) but few studies have examined if it also reduces inequalities in developmental disadvantage. Objective I test if the length of time in center-based care between ages one and three years associates with child development scores at age three years, focusing on the impact for groups of children in the lower tercile of child development scores and in the lower SES tercile. Method Using data from 1,606 children collected in a nationally representative Chilean survey, I apply a value-added approach to measure gains in child development scores between age one and three years that are associated with length of time in center-based child care. Results Disadvantages at age one year were associated with lower child development scores at age three years. No benefits of additional time in center-based care were found for the non-disadvantaged group, but positive associations were found between more time in center-based care and child development outcomes for children with the SES disadvantage only. Center-based care was not associated with child development trajectories of children with lower child development scores at age one year, no matter their SES status. Conclusions There is evidence that Chilean center-based child care reduces SES inequality in child development scores between ages one and three years, but only if children already were not low-scorers at age one year.

Abstract. Atmospheric ions participate in the formation of new atmospheric aerosol particles, yet their exact role in this process has remained unclear. Here we derive a new simple parameterization for ion-induced nucleation or, more precisely, for the formation rate of charged 2-nm particles. The parameterization is semi-empirical in the sense that it is based on comprehensive results of one-year-long atmospheric cluster and particle measurements in the size range ∼1–42 nm within the EUCAARI (European Integrated project on Aerosol Cloud Climate and Air Quality interactions) project. Data from 12 field sites across Europe measured with different types of air ion and cluster mobility spectrometers were used in our analysis, with more in-depth analysis made using data from four stations with concomitant sulphuric acid measurements. The parameterization was given in two slightly different forms: a more accurate one that requires information on sulfuric acid and nucleating organic vapor concentrations, and a simpler one in which this information is replaced with the global radiation intensity. In principle, these new parameterizations are applicable to all large-scale atmospheric models containing size-resolved aerosol microphysics.

This study aims to determine the dynamics of moral reasoning among adolescents who take part in the Islamic mentoring program in Banda Aceh. This study used a case study qualitative approach involving six research subjects from 3 high schools in Banda Aceh who had participated in Islamic mentoring for more than one year. The data collection methods used was interviews, observation and FGD. The data analysis used is thematic analysis. The results of this study shows that the moral reasoning of six research subjects has been at the level of post conventional moral reasoning, social contract orientation stage of legality and moral orientation with universal ethical principles. Dynamic moral reasoning in the six subjects is formed from several factors, namely religious education from parents, religious education in schools especially the mentoring programs, curriculum and mentoring implementation methods, length of time for implementing mentoring, mentoring environment, and continuity of mentoring or length of time following mentoring.

The idea that human males are most strongly attracted to traits that peak in women in the nubile age group raises the question of how well women in that age group contend with the potential hazards of a first pregnancy. Using data for 1.7 million first births from 1990 U.S. natality and mortality records, we compared outcomes for women with first births (primiparas) aged 16–20 years (when first births typically occur in forager and subsistence groups) with those aged 21–25 years. The younger primiparas had a much lower risk of potentially life-threatening complications of labor and delivery and, when evolutionarily novel risk factors were controlled, fetuses which were significantly more likely to survive despite lower birth weights. Thus, nubile primiparas were more likely to have a successful reproductive outcome defined in an evolutionarily relevant way (an infant of normal birth weight and gestation, surviving to one year, and delivered without a medically necessary cesarean delivery). This suggests that prior to the widespread availability of surgical deliveries, men who mated with women in the nubile age group would have reaped the benefit of having a reproductive partner more likely to have a successful first pregnancy.

National Trends

Introduction: As the US population ages and indications for cardiac device implantation expand, there is a concomitant increase in patients undergoing lead removal/extraction (LR/E).. We sought to examine trends in outcomes and complications associated with LR/E. Methods: We conducted a retrospective analysis using data from a large U.S. commercial insurance database (privately insured and Medicare Advantage patients) identifying all patients undergoing LR/E between 2004 and 2013 with at least one year continuous medical plan enrollment prior to LR/E (to identify baseline comorbidities). Using ICD9 codes and CPT codes, major complications (hemorrhage requiring transfusion, vascular injury, pericardial complications, respiratory complications, cerebrovascular complications, and requirement for cardiac surgery) associated with LR/E and 30-day readmission rates were evaluated. Results: Among 42,878 patients who underwent LR/E (median age of 62 ( 54, 72) years, 70% male); approximately 1 in 40 experienced a major adverse event (2.4%) during the study period. Respiratory complications were the most common complication and 311 patients required cardiac surgery. 30-day readmission occurred in 11.1% of the total population. The most common reasons for readmission were heart failure exacerbation (18.7%) and device related complications (13.2%). Conclusion: The observed complication rates after LE/R in clinical practice are similar to those seen in recent clinical trials and have been relatively stable over the past 10 years.

The Impact

The Internet has a significant influence on poverty alleviation and economic growth. Internet involvement in small-medium enterprises (SMEs) has the opportunity to create a better level of welfare. Using data from the fifth wave of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS), this study aims to analyze the impact of internet utilization on household welfare among two groups, household enterprises with internet use for business and without internet use for business. The results of the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method mention that household enterprises with internet for business purposes have higher household per capita expenditure, food consumption, and non-food expenditure than household enterprises without internet use. Another interesting result finds that household enterprises are likely to use the internet only if household heads at a young age and business establish less than one year.
