As an intangible cultural heritage, NiNigou has its body made of yellow soil and clothes colorful dot painting on black background. The patterns painted are not only the embodiment artistic quality, but also contain totem culture thousands years human civilization wisdom. Therefore, author led social practice team to Huaiyang, birthplace NiNigou. By visiting Mr. Ren Guohe, inheritor culture, I ...

This paper presents a case study that analyzes the orchestration of ubiquitous learning situation involving teacher and 89 secondary-school students using Casual Learn. allows us to illustrate how teachers can use Learn orchestrate situations learn Cultural Heritage. During study, played key role as it enabled bridge in- out-classroom activities across physical virtual spaces.

geographical situation of gilan province, its weather and suitable conditions for agriculture, plus its neighboring with russia, have prepared the way for cultural, political and economical relations and interchanges between iran and russia. being called “the gate of europe”, the province also receives many tourists from many countries, especially russia. many of these tourists have recorded de...

Medical tourism has been emerged due to the trend of healthcare mobility among different countries. In fact it is a new type of healthcare mobility (1, 2) since not only it involves the clinical services, but also other non-clinical services are likely to be essential and also it is highly affected by cultural factors (3). Eastern countries or developing countries are mostly the main destinatio...

Human Behavior Models tend to " mirror " their American developers, not taking into account (among other things) the particular background/motivations of the person or groups we're modeling One big behavioral motivator in humans is culture • surface features (dress, architecture, language) • cognitive features (norms, values) • interactional features (organizational behavior, language use) Over...

The study of culture and biology has long stood stratified within the social and natural sciences, a gap that physicist C.P. Snow (1959) famously called "the two cultures." Cultural neuroscience is an emerging, interdisciplinary field that examines the bidirectional influence of culture and genes to brain and behavior across multiple timescales. Integrating theory and methods from cultural psyc...

We utilize the situation calculus to develop a logical model of hypertext systems. The work builds upon the earlier work of Bieber and Kimbrough in the logical modeling of hypertext systems. In our presentation, a particular version of the situation calculus (which includes a language for programming complex actions) developed for the modeling of dynamic worlds and for the control of robotic ag...

Mathematical models for the electrical activity in cardiac cells are normally formulated as systems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The equations are nonlinear and describe processes occurring on a wide range of time scales. Under normal accuracy requirements, this makes the systems stiff and therefore challenging to solve numerically. As standard implicit solvers are difficult to im...
