Language Education Policy in Developing Nations from Colonization to Postcolonialism

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the role that colonization played in language education policy and illustrate the need for first language instruction. Using postcolonial scholar Franz Fanon, the reasons for and consequences of using a second language medium of instruction in postcolonial nations are explored. Colonial languages were used to reinforce the imperialistic goals of ...

A Local-Global Approach to Solving Ideal Lattice Problems

We construct an innovative SVP(CVP) solver for ideal lattices in case of any relative extension of number fields L/K of degree n where L is real(contained in R). The solver, by exploiting the relationships between the so-called local and global number fields, reduces solving SVP(CVP) of the input ideal A in field L to solving a set of (at most n) SVP(CVP) of the ideals Ai in field Li with relat...

Solving Global Optimization Problems Using MANGO

Traditional approaches for solving global optimization problems generally rely on a single algorithm. The algorithm may be hybrid or applied in parallel. Contrary to traditional approaches, this paper proposes to form teams of algorithms to tackle global optimization problems. Each algorithm is embodied and ran by a software agent. Agents exist in a multiagent system and communicate over our pr...

Resource Constraints as a Barrier to Lung Cancer Management: Developing Nations

Resource constraints are a major barrier to lung cancer management, especially in ASIAN developing countries. The availability of data in these issues is very limited. Therefore, this survey was initiated in order to understand the situation of resource constraints in ASIAN developing nations. A 17-item, self-administered, online questionnaire was developed and distributed to IASLC members in A...
