Chang Chien (1853-1926) was a native of Nant’ung, Kiangsu. In spite of the
various works on Chang Chien, which testify to the significance of his role in modern
China, Chang Chien’s thought on education is still not well-researched. The purposes
of this paper are firstly, to analyze Chang Chien’s thought on education systematically
and clearly in the hope that it may become a useful reference for researchers on
modern China, and secondly, to stimulate scholars for further research. This paper
de...

We show that the Schwarzschild solution can be embedded in a class of
nonstandard solutions of the vacuum Einstein’s equations with arbitrary
rotation curves. These nonstandard solutions have to be taken as physical, if
dark matter as needed in the standard theory cannot be found. As a consequence
general relativity is considered as a classical field theory in Minkowski space
and not as a geometric theory in the sense of Einstein. Assuming an
asymptotically flat rotation curve and introducing a ...

Polymorphisms in the gene coding for transcription factor 7 like 2 (TCF7L2)
are recognized as the strongest common genetic risk factors for Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus (T2DM) across multiple ethnicities. This study was conducted to evaluate
an association between TCF7L2 variants and diabetes susceptibility in the population
of Juana Koslay, San Luis, Argentina. We genotyped 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms
(SNP) rs7903146 and rs12255372 in controls and diabetic subjects. Association with
T2DM was ...

Since DENV-1, 2, 3, and 4 determine the strains for dengue virus, their
gene sequence can be used as marker for diagnosis, amplifying and genotyping
subtypes in molecular screening reaction which
includes RT-PCR, real-time RT-PCR, nucleic acid sequence-based amplification,
microsphere- based duplexed immunoassay, and DNA microarrays. There are
many gene based PCR diagnostic kits available for screening and quantifying
dengue virus, which one to choose? Decisions on choosing the diagnostic kit ar...

Based on granger causality test and VAR (the Vector autoregressive model,
Vector autoregressive model (VAR) is usually used in related time series
prediction and stochastic disturbance on the variable system) analysis, the
article finds the relationship among labor transfer, residents’ consumption and
economic growth. On the one hand, the labor transfer is the granger reason of
residents’ consumption. On the other hand, economic growth is the granger
reason of labor transfer at the 5% significan...

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine the 7 th grade reading performance among a random sample of urban public school
academies (charter schools) in Wayne County, Michigan, compared with a random
sample of traditional urban public schools within the same geographic area.
This study was conducted using the fall 2012 Michigan Educational Assessment
Program (MEAP) reading test scores, as reported by the Michigan Department of
Education. A total of 11 public charter schools ...

Introduction: Anorectal malformations include a wide spectrum of
congenital defects of the anus, anal canal and rectum, which are often combined
with urogenital tract defects. They are often associated with congenital anomalies
of other organ systems such as genitourinary, cardiovascular, digestive,
skeletal, etc. Objectives: This study aimed to review the patients with
anorectal malformations, diagnosis,
different types of associated anomalies and their frequency, modalities of treatment,
resul...

The study was conducted
on investigating effects of Eucalyptus camaldulensis on the performance of adjacent crop productivity for the benefits over adverse effects
of it versus different land uses in district Mecha of Western Amhara region, Ethiopia.
This research was carried out with the aim to test
the performance of neighbouring crops grown near E. camaldulensis on the
effects on plant growth performance and grain yield. Eucalypts has many important
uses and a reliable source of...

Nigeria’s
performance theatre consists of variety of creative works reflecting the
cultural diversity of its people. Many of the written texts and stage
performances are slices from everyday lives of the people, captured by these
playwrights and shown to the audience through live theatre. The paper examines
the contribution of Nigerian female dramatists in the development of theatre in
Nigeria. The paper advances that this group of theatre practitioners
contributed to the overall development of ...

The objective of
this study is to determine the learning and compensatory strategies the College
of Industrial Technology (CIT) students use to enhance their listening skills
and the various strategies that these learners use to compensate their limited
skills and abilities. Findings reveal that the student-respondents exhibited
the (10) learning and compensatory strategies of study, concentration, memory,
learning from textbooks, learning from lectures, essays and assignments, exams,
organizati...
