Life in the river valley of Daur ethnic which is a nationality has a long history, splendid culture and the national spirit of national self-confidence, the foundation of national culture has a strong self-confidence. Combining the concept of big data and data analysis technique to the Daur ethnic education will largely enhance the result of the current education pattern. The survey of the research indicated that we should pay attention to the precious data captured.展开更多

This paper deals with a research which was intended to see if respect and encouragement could solve the problem of students' self-confidence to inquire in the EFL (English as a Foreign Language) classroom. The research involved a secondary group of students whose self-confidence to ask questions was considered low by the teacher and research collaborators. The data were collected through observation, questionnaire and interview. Based on a pre-observation, problem sources had been identified, i.e., the students were afraid of being thought of as "looking for sensation only", afraid that their classmates would laugh at them, worried of being judged as arrogant or pretentious, did not want to be considered stupid, and wondered if they could produce qualified questions. Teachers believed that fear of asking questions is part of the Indonesian students' culture. The research team agreed upon the way to handle the problem--by respect and encouragement procedure. The first session implementing the procedure was not successful enough in raising the students' self-confidence. Though students had already started to address some questions of this stage, their behaviors did not seem to be improved. They were still afraid, doubtful and unhappy with questioning, which were the signs of lacking of confidence. However, the next cycle was in general a success. The students' questions increased considerably. They looked more enthusiastic, passionate and happier in response to teachers' invitation to inquire, showing that their self-confidence for asking questions has developed.展开更多

We use Probit model empirically analysis how tinanclal hteracy affect household wealth. The results are as follows: financial literacy does have positive effects on household financial wealth and debt, but do not have significant effect on fixed wealth. Age growth, household income growth, self-owned house and seeking for financial consultant will significantly boost household wealth. Moreover, consumer' s self-confidence and risk aversion have positive effects on both fixed and financial assets, but do not have significant effect on debt.展开更多

Temporal judgment alone can neither account for neural signaling necessary for emergence of conscious act nor explain RP (Readiness Potential, the accepted neural correlate time needed for the neurons to fire) that precedes the onset of action or the latency time of 0.5 ms that precedes the conscious act found by Libet. Neuronal feedback mechanisms between the heart and the brain seem feasible and logical suggestions to be considered, so clearly, I would suggest that the onset of a conscious-directed goal, conscious action, freewill, intension, and the neural signals and mechanisms that control them may depend upon the interaction between two sources: (1) the brain and (2) the heart. The temporal-cardiac (neural system) interaction has been well established in heart-brain interaction studies by many workers who found that the work of the heart precedes that of the brain in EEG (electroencephalography) findings in conscious stimulation, which may explain and account for RP time and the 0.5 ms latency period of Libet's important findings. According to my hypothesis (AlFaki 2009) and views, the temporal neurons in the soma to-sensory cortex will respond to conscious stimulation only after receiving neuronal signals from the cardiac neurons in the neural plexus of the heart; after variable millisecond equivalent to RP or Libet's latency period prior to temporal neuronal firinging in response to conscious act, this time is the time needed by cardiac neurons to process and signal information to the brain through feedback mechanism and heart-brain interaction.展开更多

文摘In this paper, we conduct research on the development of Daur ethnic education under the influence of big data. Life in the river valley of Daur ethnic which is a nationality has a long history, splendid culture and the national spirit of national self-confidence, the foundation of national culture has a strong self-confidence. Combining the concept of big data and data analysis technique to the Daur ethnic education will largely enhance the result of the current education pattern. The survey of the research indicated that we should pay attention to the precious data captured.
