Because China＇ s capital market is not mature at the same time, lead to the real personal accounts funds also difficult to achieve their value. To solve this problem, on the basis of analyzing the necessity and feasibility of the nominal account system, summed up the after proper deformation and transformation, the “nominal account” is a transitional system arrangement for an alternative.展开更多

However, there may be cases where purposes or philosophy behind sport are not necessarily shared in the world. In Japan, for example, not only sports are connected to physical abilities but also to mental strength or more precisely, konjo （guts or strong-wills）. This kind of mentality and a training method can be traced back to the Meiji Era （1868-1912） when new European sports were brought to Japan. In the 1960s and 70s, it became a fad to read comic books depicting how poor heroes-to-be painstakingly became famous players mastering skills while nurturing their guts. In the previous study, 39 college students out of 46 felt sports can nurture guts or strong wills even today. However, in the 9th FIEP European Congress in Bulgaria, some participants from the Eastern Europe expressed that this kind of Oriental notion was hard to grasp because it is so different from theirs. In this paper, we will show the results of a questionnaire, administered to 83 International students in Japan, investigating whether this notion of ＂Using Sports to Nurture Guts＂ is shared among them. Also, in the following study, we asked 23 non-Asian participants the same question via SNS and their answers will be shown qualitatively. Finally, we will suggest a new role of sports in this globalized world.展开更多

An Emergent Phenomenon is a property that is a result of simple interactions that work cooperatively to create a more complex interaction. Physically, simple interactions occur at a microscopic level, and the collective result can be observed at a macroscopic level. The developed Hypersphere World-Universe Model (WUM) introduces classical notions, when the very first ensemble of particles was created at the cosmological time π<sub>M</sub> ≅ 10<sup>-18</sup> and become possible to introduce the notion “Medium of the World”. We emphasize that Classical Physics is principally different from Quantum Physics that describes quantum objects, which have four-momenta only. Classical Physics is dealing with ensembles of quantum objects! The present paper discusses the Basic Notions of Classical Physics considering a principally different cosmological model WUM, which is, in fact, a Paradigm Shift for Cosmology. WUM is a natural continuation of Classical Physics, and it can already serve as a basis for a New Cosmology proposed by Paul Dirac in 1937.展开更多

It takes the"notion"and"function"as the organizing principles. Organizing principles of syllabus design cannot solely depend on grammatical categories; it should take communicative considerations into account as well.Only by examining its pros and cons comprehensively, can we maximize its utility in our language classes.展开更多

This paper will report the results of a study into 64 high school English teachers＇ beliefs about language learning and their instructional practices, with a focus on two of them. A questionnaire was developed on the basis of major tenets of second language learning and administered to the 64 participants. In addition, classroom observations and interviews were employed to explore the two focal teachers＇ beliefs and their actual classroom instruction practices. Results show both consistencies and inconsistencies between the participants＇ beliefs and major SLA notions and between the two focal participants＇ beliefs and their classroom practices.展开更多
