In this blog we discuss the essence of a rewarding PhD journey. Simple yet golden words of wisdom from masters dissertation writing services experts at Tutors India is this: compose in your style.

As you gradually build your PhD thesis, you will notice that there is a nagging temptation to reveal how much you have studied in that specific field. Resist that temptation and write in your very own style.

Walk out of the comfort of your end-notes and top names of research scholars. Walk in to a realm of scholarly independence thanks to PhD thesis writers of Tutors India.

Becoming a researcher is one of the roads travelled in the emotional, social, and intellectual process of PhD journeys. As such, developing a researcher identity during doctoral study is a social undertaking. This paper explores instances and practices where doctoral students identify as becoming researchers. Based on interviews with 30 PhD students from two Australian metropolitan universities, this paper presents students' experiences of moments when they feel like researchers. The paper finds identification as a researcher occurs early on in the PhD, and such instances are underpinned by external and internal validation of the student as a researcher. Validation is gained through research outputs (mainly publications), doing research, and talking about research. Such experiences are often mundane, occur daily, and constitute personal, social, informal, and formal learning opportunities for researcher development. Supervisors are largely absent as students draw on multiple individuals on and off campus in assuming a researcher identity.

There are many phenomena that within specific cultural and social context are "sensitive". They may be defined as "sensitive" if they are private, stressful or sacred, and discussion tends to generate an emotional response, for example death and sex. Phenomena that deal with potential fear of stigmatisation, such as the study of sub-cultures, and studies that may reveal information of a politically sensitive nature may also be considered "sensitive". In response to the "sensitive" nature of such phenomena Ethics Committees act as gatekeepers during the research process to protect individuals and/or groups who form the sample from harm. Experience and a review of current literature clearly indicates that these are not the only participants affected by the research. The researchers, transcribers, supervisors and readers of publications may also be placed at risk. This risk may be physical and/or psychological. In order to protect all participants' physical and psychological safety protocols or guidelines need to be developed at the beginning of the research process to identify and minimise risk, or respond to risk as they arise during the research process.

Global warming is one of the most significant and difficult issues facing the world today. As result, researchers in a number of disciplines have directed their attention to addressing issues relevant to the study of and responses to global warming. This has been less true in the social sciences, and especially within specific social sciences such as criminology, in comparison to the physical sciences. Global warming does, however, have criminological and sociological relevance on several levels. This article examines one of those levels by exploring the politicalization of global warming under the Bush Administration, and addresses this issue as an example of state-corporate crime.

According to both traditional positivist approaches and also to the sociology of scientific knowledge, social analysts should not themselves become involved in the controversies they are investigating. But the experiences of the authors in studying contemporary scientific controversies—specifically, over the Australian Animal Health Laboratory, fluoridation, and vitamin C and cancer—show that analysts, whatever their intentions, cannot avoid being drawn into the fray. The field of controversy studies needs to address the implications of this process for both theory and practice. Scientific controversies have long excited both the passions of partici-pants and the interest of social scientists. ’ For researchers into the nature of science, controversies have the advantage that social processes normally hidden in laboratories and offices are brought into open view in a dramatic fashion. Assumptions that are normally implicit are challenged by disputants, routine procedures...

Despite a plethora of case studies in the social sciences, it is the authors' opinion that case studies remain relatively under-mined sources of expertise. Cross-case analysis is a research method that can mobilize knowledge from individual case studies. The authors propose that mobilization of case knowledge occurs when researchers accumulate case knowledge, compare and contrast cases, and in doing so, produce new knowledge. In this article, the authors present theories of how people can learn from sets of cases. Second, existing techniques for cross-case analysis are discussed. Third, considerations that enable researchers to engage in cross-case analysis are suggested. Finally, the authors introduce a novel online database: the Foresee database. The purpose of the database is to mobilize case knowledge by helping researchers perform cross-case analysis and by creating an online research community that facilitates dialogue and the mobilization of case knowledge. The design of the 4C database is informed by theories of how people learn from case studies and cross-case analysis techniques. We present evidence from case study research that use of the 4C database helps to mobilize previously dormant case study knowledge to foster greater expertise.

Procrastination is defined as the tendency to delay the performance of tasks that have a deadline date. Between 70 and 95% of university students procrastinate occasionally, and 20-40% do so chronically. Procrastination affects both people's health and the quality of their work. The objective of the present study was to identify whether Mexican researchers in psychology procrastinate (no similar studies were found during a literature review), and determine the academic, work-related and health effects of this behavior. A total of 221 Mexican psychology researchers participated, 91 men and 131 women, aged 20-65 years (by answering an on-line questionnaire designed ex profeso). Results showed the following: 91% of respondents reported procrastinating; the activity with the highest levels of procrastination was writing reports and/or academic articles (63%); 29% reported that procrastination generated anxiety; 42% observed that it damages their health; 18% mentioned that procrastinating reduced the quality of their work; and 17% reported that it had had many negative effects on their lives. This article discusses the importance of identifying the factors that propitiate academic procrastination given the negative effects of this behavior on researchers' health and work quality.

Petar Petrović (1938-1997), klasični filolog, epigrafičar, istoričar, arheolog, kustos, pedagog, direktor Arheološkog instituta u Beogradu i načelnik Odseka za arheologiju i istoriju Centra SANU i Univerziteta u Nišu,  od svojih studentskih dana neraskidivo je bio povezan sa arheološkim i epigrafskim istraživanjima niškog kraja.
Još kao student Filozofskog fakulteta u Beogradu, a potom kao kustos antičke zbirke Narodnog muzeja u Nišu, aktivno je učestvovao u arheološkim istraživanjima kasnoantičke nekrpole u Jagodin mali-Niš (1957, 1958, 1962) i sistematskih ispitivanja termi kasnoantičkog naselja Medijana u predgrađu Naisa (1962). Nakon prelaska u Arheološki institut 1967. godine, koji je usledio posle odbrane magistarskog rada „Istorija Niša od osnivanja do 441. godine“, P. Petrović učestvuje u nastavku istraživanja ova dva nalazišta.
Kao formirani naučnik, P. Petrović je objavio veći broj značajnih radova vezanih za teme istorije, arheologije i epigrafike niškog kraja. Pokrenuo je obimna arheološka istraživanja Niške tvrđave 80-ih godina XX veka, potom i Medijane (1994-1997). Postavio je temelje sistematskom prikupljanju arheoloških podataka za topografiju antičkog Naisa i arheološku kartu Ponišavlja u okviru Centra SANU i Univerziteta u Nišu.
Petar Petrović (1938–1997), Serbian classical philologist, epigraphist, historian, archaeologist, curator, pedagogue, director of the Archaeological Institute in Belgrade and the head of the SASA Centre and University in Niš, was closely tied with archaeological and epigraphic research of Niš region.
First as a student of the Faculty of Philosophy in Belgrade and afterwards as a curator of the Roman period collection of the National museum in Niš, he took an active part in archaeological excavations of the late Roman necropolis in Jagodin-mala in Niš (1957, 1958, 1962) and in the systematic research of thermae of late-Roman settlement of Mediana in the Naissus suburb (1962). He continued
to work at these two sites after he started working at Archaeological Institute in 1967 (after defending his magistar thesis „The history of Niš from its foundation to 441 AD“).
An already accomplished scientist, P. Petrović published a significant number of papers relating to history, archaeology and epigraphy of the Niš region. He re-started large-scale archaeological research of the Niš fortress in the 1980’s, and also, later, the research of Mediana (1994–1997). He made the basis for a systematic gathering of archaeological data for the topography of Roman Naissus and the archaeological map of the Nišava valley within the SASA Centre and the University in Niš.

Cet articfe a pour but de situer les sources hIstoriques de l'approche cfinique d'inspiration psychanalytique. Il montre qu'au-delà de l'étiquette « clinique II que s'octroient certaines disciplines, essentfeffement la psychoiogie et la sociologie, il s'agit aujourd'hui d'un mode de connaissance ayant son autonomie et ses spécificités, tout en maintenant un rapport étroit il la psychanalyse. Cette approche a la double caractéristique de prendre en compte en priorité, dans les situations étudiées, les processus inconscients, au sens freudien, et de ne pas éluder la question de la relation transférentielle du chercheur il son objet-sujet(s) d'étude mais tout au contraire de travailier il partir de cette relation et de tenter d'en élaborer la dynamique chemin faisant. Ainsi, pour juger de fa rigueur avec laquelle elle est utilisée, on ne peut avoir recours aux critères habituels de scientificité qui accompagnent la démarche expérimentale car ses spécificités mêmes les rendent inadéquats et non pertinents.

Tra i principali aspetti per comprendere qualsiasi economia vi sono PRODUZIONE, COMMERCIO E FINANZA. Il presente libro riguarda le relazione svolte in un seminario in Banca d'Italia del 10.6.2016 avente per oggetto produzione, commercio e finanza al tempo di Uruk (IV millennio a.C.), di Ur III (XXI sec. a.C.) e paleo-assiro (inizi II millennio a.C.). Oltre alle relazioni di F. Pomponio, M. Frangipane e L. Peyronel, il libro contiene le domande e considerazioni formilate dagli intervenuti al seminario e le risposte dei relatori.

The traditional purpose of a PhD degree is the preparation and development of researchers. Surprisingly, researcher development is mainly discussed in regards to post-PhD and early academics and researchers (McAlpine, Jazvac-Martek, & Hopwood, 2009; Sinclair, Barnacle, & Cuthbert, 2013). Little empirical research has outlined how early PhD candidates develop and experience themselves as researchers throughout their PhD process. This research adds value by exploring how PhD students experience, develop and change their professional researcher identity over a one-year period. Using a framework that casts researcher identity development as a continuous and incremental process (Åkerlind, 2008; Jazvac-Martek, 2009), this study is based on open interviews with 30 PhD candidates from two Australian metropolitan universities in the first two years of their study and follow-up interviews with 15 of these students after a year. Students’ stories reveal, while the early stage of the PhD journey is often characterised by playful exploration of ideas, excitement, enthusiasm and socialising, a year later the PhD experience changes significantly as students’ focus shifts towards completion, resilience, strategic networking and ‘getting real’. These narratives mark or drive students’ professional development as early researchers. This study implies the kinds of support structures that could be employed to promote and encourage a positive PhD experience and strengthen researcher development.

Resources And Bibliography On Armenian Question And
Khojali Massacre

The Armenian Question, which was puzzled out in 1920s has been politicized by Armenian organizations and brought up to be a current issue later on. It is obvious that the Armenian Question, which has always been discussed in the international arena, is rather a diplomatic issue. Within that period of arguments, Turkish Republic had adopted a policy of silence as Turkey has never intended to stimulate old ostilities. However Turkey couldn’t manage to be silent in the face of international unjust pro-Armenia approaches, declarations and unfair political decisions. In this context Turkey classified and brought one million relevant documents into use of international historians and researchers.
Historians and researchers have put forward thousands of studies about
this issue then. Khojalı Massacre/Genocide, in which Azeri civilian population were killed en masse by Armenian Forces with a motivation of revenge in Mountainous Karabakh of Republic of Azerbaijan in due course of Karabakh War on the 26th February 1992 gives clue about Armenian approaches and behaviors.
In this study, some of the studies (with regard to both issues) made by
historians and researchers and the relevant archive catalogues are presented for readers and researchers.

ABSTRACT
This research article investigates personality characteristics and principal leadership effectiveness in Ekiti State, Nigeria. A descriptive survey research design was used to carry out this study. The population of the study consisted of all the principals and teachers of public secondary schools in Ekiti State, Nigeria. The investigators utilized two sets of research instruments designated Principals’ Demographic Inventory (PDI) and Principals’ Leadership Effectiveness Inventory (PLEI) for school principals and teachers respectively. Data analyses indicated a significant difference between principals’ years of experience and their leadership effectiveness. A significant difference was found between principals’ age and their leadership effectiveness and no significant difference existed between the leadership effectiveness of male and female principals. Based on the findings, it was concluded that Ekiti State Teaching Service Commission could place high emphasis on the use of experience in the appointment of principals, while gender factor could be de-emphasized, as no significant difference existed between male and female principals.

Abstract
Remote sensing and geographical information system (GIS) have provided to be effective tools in delineation of drainage networks, natural resources management and its planning. GIS techniques have been adopted for the identification of morphological features of the Sairang sub-basin. Geologically, the study area belongs to Bhuban Formation of Surma Group. Drainage patterns are mainly trellis with fifth order drainage basin and area covers about 63.87 sq.km. The mean bifurcation ratio indicates strong structural control on the drainage pattern. The high value of drainage density and channel frequency reveals the impermeable nature of sub-surface strata and sparse vegetation with very fine drainage texture. The analysed relief parameters of the study area indicate the greater degree of erosion, steep slopes and the structural complexity of the terrain. The hypsometric analysis shows that the landscape is under mature stage of geomorphologic development and 49% of rock masses still exist in the basin which is decreasing as the landscape is denuded towards the stage of monadnock. This study would help to utilize the land and water resources for sustainable development of the basin area.

It identifies the differences between the use of sketchbooks, PowerPoint and blogs to track learner progress and for receiving feedback. The research takes into account the views of the learners and their tutors and offers an insight into teaching and learning styles. The aim of the paper is to discover which assessment method best suits Photography and can possibly raise the standards of teaching and learning in the UK.

The term "agency" is quite slippery and is used differently depending on the epistemological roots and goals of scholars who employ it. Distressingly, the sociological literature on the concept rarely addresses relevant social psychological research. We take a social behaviorist approach to agency by suggesting that individual temporal orientations are underutilized in conceptualizing this core sociological concept. Different temporal foci-the actor's engaged response to situational circumstancesimplicate different forms of agency. This article offers a theoretical model involving four analytical types of agency ("existential," "identity," "pragmatic," and "life course") that are often conflated across treatments of the topic. Each mode of agency overlaps with established social psychological literatures, most notably about the self, enabling scholars to anchor overly abstract treatments of agency within established research literatures.

In this article, the author explores the uses of poetic forms in qualitative health research, analyzing thematically a poem written from a patient's perspective of being treated in an emergency room. From the themes identified, he created two "research poems" using two formal poetic structures: the French-Malaysian pantoum, and the Japanese-inspired American tanka. The author contextualizes this research through an exploration of the arts and poetry as qualitative research.

Positionality has, to-date, been conceptualised by social scientists as a central component in the process of qualitative (and to an extent quantitative) data collection. This paper intends to build upon this conceptualisation by reflecting upon the influence that class and generation can have on qualitative migration research. Specifically, the authors argue that being insiders in the social interview is much more complex and multi-faceted than usually recognised. They also claim that, to a large extent, interviewing within one's own "cultural" community-as an insider-affords the researcher a degree of social proximity that, paradoxically, increases awareness amongst both researcher and participant of the social divisions that exist between them. The authors will use the case of an Italian researcher interviewing Italian migrants in Nottingham (UK) and a British researcher interviewing British migrants in Paris (France) to illustrate this. In doing so they will first highlight the way in which researchers may "move-up" socioeconomically when interviewing, but will also stress that whilst such movement is possible-through strategies of constructing rapport-a certain power imbalance is inevitable.

Drawing from scholarship in feminist political geography that embraces discomfort and unease as generative features of social encounter along with the literature on decolonial ethics for research, Murrey argues that further concrete work is necessary to deconstruct the artificial barriers between ‘the field’/home-site and that this project remains particularly acute for research ‘on Africa’ given its position in a global colonial system. To these ends, Murrey makes three interconnected arguments: (a) ‘women researching in Africa’ are responsible for challenging masculinist and colonial epistemologies. (b) This would mean, among others, moving beyond guilt and compassion to an explicit political consciousness of decolonization. (c) Such a consciousness is centered upon attention to the functions of race, particularly global whiteness and anti-blackness, for research in Africa.

Mener une enquête ethnologique auprès d’une population soumise à une opération de relogement et marquée par sa dépendance des autorités publiques intervenant sur le cours de son destin résidentiel recèle des difficultés et des pièges que la vigilance méthodologique ne peut suffire à surmonter. Le rapport au pouvoir affecte les prises de paroles et les jugements, et brouille le statut du chercheur soucieux de trouver la bonne distance.

An ethnological research project concerning a population subjected to relocation and marked by a dependence on the public authorities that set the course of its residential destiny harbours difficulties and traps which methodological vigilance alone cannot overcome. To deal with power affects statements and judgements, and confounds the status of the researcher who tries to find his proper distance.

Product harm crisis hinders firms' reputation and financial viability. Recent research has shown that in a product harm crisis late response and compulsory product recall hinders businesses reputation (Jolly & Mowen, Mowen & Ellis, Siomkos Jolly 1999). It has been concluded that consumer tastes and preferences fades out and consumers are not motivated to buy the new product that is developed to replace the recalled one (Jolly 1999). Businesses are more prone to risk than ever before to product related issues and challenges causing supply chain disruptions. To find meaningful solution to this risky and vulnerable situation, businesses should find a lastly and sustainable solution to businesses reputation and financial viability. A result oriented and focused management team thrives in all seasons and act swiftly with appropriate tools and techniques to crisis management. In this review, the researcher harmonized secondary data showing product harm crisis management modalities and parameters. With reference to the review literature, concepts, contents, facts; the researcher differentiates parameters, models used and interprets findings. Advice businesses on managing product harm crisis effectively and efficiently with proper planning and mitigation strategies in place.

Giorgos Vozikas, "Critical Overview Regarding Folklore Research Based on Personal Experience. Fieldwork in Prefecture of Serres (1980, 2007-2009)".
ABSTRACT: This study examines theory and methodology issues regarding folkloristics and fieldwork. It is a critical overview based on personal experience and taking into consideration the condition of the amateur collector and professional researcher. Particularly it examines the effect of the questionnaire on research and lay stress on the decisive and eventually inevitable effect of theory on methodology and research. In this context are presented the results from the fieldwork I have conducted in the prefecture of Serres, North Greece, as a student of the Kapodistrian University of Athens (year 1980) and as a researcher at the Hellenic Folklore Research Center of the Academy of Athens (years 2007, 2008, 2009).

In this article, I discuss the fact that doing “anthropology at home” involves the same core anthropological methodology as undertaking research abroad. This implies that while doing anthropology at home may have some advantages concerning field practicalities but is equally challenging. There are certain ethical and methodological essentials involved in every anthropological research undertaking. Through my personal experiences of conducting ethnography in Pakistan, I explain that doing anthropology at home does not make exceptions for the researcher in terms of these ethical and methodological aspects.

Drainage basin morphometry as a quantitative approach provides considerable information about surface topographic conditions and sub-surface geological structures. The Tuikum watershed in Serchhip district spreads over an area of about 280 sq. km as a part of Tuichang river basin. The Tuikum main stream is a 6 th order with a total of 1968 streams in all orders. The computed significant drainage parameters such as drainage density, bifurcation ratio and the tectonic indices like elongation ratio, asymmetry factor and hypsometric integral reveal the tectonic history of the area by uplift and tilting.

The purpose of this study to understanding the researcher's level of awareness, usage of reference management tools, benefits and obstacles of reference management tools in particularly "Zotero & Mendeley". Structured design questionnaire randomly distributed through web 2.0 technologies (E-mail, LIS links, WhatsApp, Facebook) and finally, we received 170 dully filled respondents. A total of 51 (30%) researchers not aware of RMS, because of the reasons lack of library staff support 45%, lack of technical support, and lack of knowledge on citation styles respectively 63 (13.7%). Based on the listed reasons the investigator suggests that the library and staff should provide a learning environment for using RMS through conducting seminars, workshops, orientation programs, and other kinds of possible ways.

This research paper is intended to assess Indigenous/Traditional Church Education Practices and their Implications on Modern Education. The research attempts to evaluate the unique features of indigenous/traditional Orthodox Church education in light of modern education, the teaching and learning methods in the traditional schools of the ancient Ethiopian Orthodox Church (EOC). Ethiopian Orthodox Church school's curriculum and its ways of provision, assessment, code of conduct, methodology and the livelihood of Ye'qolo Temari [followers of traditional school] in Ye'abinet Timhirt Bet [Orthodox church indigenous adult school]; and finally the contribution of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (EOC) to the development of Ye'qolo temari [adult education] and modern education.. In this research, qualitative research approach is firmly used, and both primary and secondary data sources are also utilized. The findings revealed that, native age old church schools played a significant role in the development of adult education; and have also a good implication on the improvement of modern education qualities in Ethiopia.

A discussion of the nature of systemic research for research students and professionals who wish to develop their personal notion of competence.

The discussion originates in a seminar with research students and staff of the Lincoln School of Management in Lincoln, UK, on the topic of how we can develop competence in (systemic) research. With the present publication, the author hopes to offer some help to readers who seek orientation in formulating or advancing their understanding of research (e.g., their dissertation project) or who wish to clarify their notion of professional competence.

Cronbach's coefficient alpha has been widely known and used in educational research. Many education research practitioners, however, may not be aware of the potential issues when the main assumptions for coefficient alpha are violated in research practice. This paper provides a brief discussion about two assumptions that may make the use and interpretation of coefficient alpha less appropriate in education research: violations of the tau-equivalence model assumption and the error independence assumption. Violation of either or both of these assumptions will have negative effects on the precision of coefficient alpha as reliability estimate. The paper further presents two alternative reliability estimates without the assumptions of tau-equivalence or error independence. Research practitioners may consider these and other alternatives, when measurement data may not satisfy the assumptions for coefficient alpha.
