Through a field survey on the religious beliefs among villagers of the Jingpo Nationality in Dengga Village, Nongdao Town, Ruili in Yunnan, the author of this article believes under the times background of constructing a harmonious contemporary society, as a religious belief and religious culture, Christianity has to be positively led to suit with the socialism society and play a positive role ...

This article comes out of many discussions I have had lately with Kansans as well as other colleagues around the country about the applicability of implementing the evidence-based practice of supported employment in rural and frontier areas. There are special challenges in rural areas, but so are there special challenges in urban areas. However, there appears to be some misconceptions regarding...

ed in throwing off till recently the mantle of antiquity ; but they are actively adapting themselves to the times by organising faculties of science and introducing technical education?in agriculture and engineering for example. Medicine was the first and for a long time remained the only representative of this departure; but it is evidently not to retain that position in the more progressive s...

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of practice on simple reaction time (RT), movement time (MT), and response consistency for two arm-reaching tasks of graded complexity in younger and older adults. Forty subjects, 20 younger adults (age range = 20-29 years) and 20 older adults (age range = 60-82 years), were randomly subdivided into practice and control groups. All subjects we...

An experiment was carried out to test the Categorical Perception as well as possible Perceptual Magnet Effects in the two boundary tone categories L% and H% in German, corresponding to statement vs. question interpretation, respectively. Additionally, reaction times (RT) were logged during all subtests to see if they support the results. Analyses revealed that RTs always increased with rising d...

I am convinced that the digital world is a game changer in scientific research. We have seen this happen in other sectors, for example, the music industry, newspapers and travel. In those areas, the Internet has completely revolutionized business models. But it did not happen easily. Traditional players have generally put up resistance and often successfully. But, eventually, a transformation c...

For a finite separable field extension K/k, all subfields can be obtained by intersecting so-called principal subfields ofK/k. In this work we present a way to quickly compute these intersections. If the number of subfields is high, then this leads to faster run times and an improved complexity.
