Milton Yinger, Emile Durkheim, and Karl Marx lead the pack among other sociologists. The need to therefore interrogate religion as an agent of social engineering cannot be overemphasized normatively and functionally. One of the implications of such engagement is that religion; study and practice need to respond to issues in the society. Basic challenges facing the Nigerian nation are issues of poverty, diseases, corruption, and illiteracy. However, in Nigerian universities, the situation posits that religion is studied with theological intentions based on the curriculum bequeathed by the missionaries that laid the foundation for the academic study of religion in Nigeria leading to exclusive and reductionist approaches to its study. There is also government policy that placed emphasis on science and management courses for development. The situation has led to reduction in students' enrolments for the study of religion in Nigerian universities. Therefore, this paper seeks explanations for the non-functional design(s) of the curriculum for the academic study of religion in universities, southwest of Nigeria. Descriptive and analytic methods were adopted in the study to pursue the thesis that the academic study of religion in Nigeria should be rebranded and repackaged to respond and interrogate social challenges/problems, such as the scourge of HIV/AIDS plaguing the society thereby recreating a new social identity and relevance for its study.展开更多

Taboo words are formed in the language of people's taboos about certain thingsand behaviors in social life. The existence of taboo words has prompted a great deal of euphemism. They are related to psychologi-cal basis, pragmatic function, variable rule and national characteristics. Taboo words and euphemism are related to psychology, lan-guage, alternation and nationality. Taboo words and euphemism have great influence on people's social interaction education. Ta-boo words and euphemism have important positive meanings to the development of linguistics.展开更多

It has a good effect on reducing the semantic gap between high semantics and low semantics of images. There are many kinds of support vector machines (SVM) based relevance feedback methods in image retrieval, but all of them may encounter some problems, such as a small size of sample, an asymmetric positive sample and negative sample as well as a long feedback cycle. To deal with these problems, an improved asymmetric bagging (IAB) relevance feedback algorithm is proposed. Furthermore, we apply a new fuzzy support machine (FSVM) to cooperate with IAB. To solve the over-fitting and real-time problems, we use modified local binary patterns (MLBP) as image features. Finally, experimental results demonstrate that our method performs other methods in terms of improving retrieval precision as well as retrieval efficiency.展开更多
