Twenty-one healthy adult subjects received perceptual ability tests through these three different sensory modules at approximately 9：00, 13：00 and 18：00 in a day. The distribution of ranking for perceptual ability was significantly different among the three different time points in each individual, with highest perceptual ability in the evening compared with noon and morning, in terms of tactile sense and two-point discrimination. These findings suggest that the perceptual ability of healthy subjects fluctuates according to the time points in a day.展开更多

Mainstream research at the time highlighted the inherent rationality of a ＂low center of gravity＂ and multiple sources of educational funding and stressed decentralization as an irreversible trend. Since 2001, however, China has readjusted its system of administration of rural compulsory education. Our empirical analysis suggests that this reform is not an extension and refinement of the previous decentralization reform; rather, it represents a renewed effort to reestablish government responsibility for compulsory education. The 200t reform has led to a rapid increase in government investment in education and a considerable improvement in educational equity, especially in primary education. It therefore provides not just a valuable reference for educational reform around the world, but also an opportunity to reflect upon a series of propositions and assumptions in mainstream research.展开更多

Theresa Odishaw’s heart sank when she saw the big hole an earthquake had left in the roof. The penetrating cold and dust of the Qinghai Plateau intruded into the classroom, stinging the thinly-clad students’skin. Theresa,president of Soong Ching Ling Foundation(SCLF)of Canada,and her colleague Marian Leung,vice president of the organization,were visiting Qiying Middle School at Guyuan County, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region.
