Abstract
Reducing students’ homework burden is to improve the quality and efficiency of school education. The proposal of “double reduction” aims to call for education to return to the essence of educating people, respect the law of education and the law of talent growth, so that students can achieve personalized development while developing in an all-round way. The “double reduction” policy combines the dual value orientation of equitable pursuit and high-quality development. Reducing students’ homework burden and off-campus training burden is the path and basic goal of the “double reduction” policy. It will be a long and challenging process to promote the quality and efficiency of school education, standardize the ecology of off-campus education, and form an effective interaction between them, so that off-campus education can become a good supplement to on-campus education rather than a necessity.
Abstract
Higher education in China is the high-end and leading part of the whole education system. The development height of higher education to some extent represents and determines the height of national development. China’s higher education plays an irreplaceable and decisive strategic role in the realization of Chinese-style modernization. This study explores the idea of modernization of Chinese-style higher education from the perspective of a policy narrative analysis. The background of the modernization of Chinese higher education, the core idea of modernization of Chinese higher education, connotation, and characteristics of the modernization of Chinese higher education have been analyzed in this study.
Abstract
Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a serious health concern across the globe. Despite its non-fatal character, it accounts for affecting millions of people across the world and is deemed responsible to affect their quality of life and put a significant economic burden. In the current study, we aimed to assess the anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects and the underlying molecular mechanisms of ellipticine (ETC) against AR using ovalbumin (OVA)-induced murine model of allergic rhinitis. The ETC was administered to mice via intra-peritoneal route after suspending in 5% CMC after sensitization by OVA. Results of the study suggested that ETC causes a significant reduction the nose rubs as compared to disease control. A significant reduction in the serum level of histamine, IgG1, TNF-α, IL-1β, MIP-2, and IL-6 was found in ETC treated group in a dose-dependent manner as compared to OVA challenged mice. It also reduces eosinophils in BALF of AR mice. In western blot analysis, the expression of aberrantly activated COX-2 and NF-ĸB found significantly reduced in ETC treated group due to inhibition of TLR-4 and caspase-1 as compared to disease-control mice. ETC showed significant interaction with residues of the active site of COX-2 and NF-ĸB. Collectively, our results indicated that ETC can be used to improve present therapeutic strategies against AR.
Cytoplasm with great structural details was found in a fossil trunk of Paraphyllanthoxylon from the Eocene of Hainan, China. The cytoplasmic remains were found in the bark tissue, and included a subcellular structure resembling a nucleus seen in a well-preserved fossilized cell. This observation may imply that cytoplasm is common in the fossil world, and calls for more attention from scientists.
The present study applies fibersol-2 desalted by yeast and calcium chelated fibersol-2 in cake making to provide consumers a functional food product with double benefit. The mean sensory scores for colour, taste and overall acceptability analysis of the cakes shows statistically significant difference between the cakes made with calcium chelated fibersol-2, fibersol-2 desalted by yeast and the control cakes, as well as for colour and for taste analysis. The results indicated that, colour of the cakes made with calcium chelated fibersol-2 is more attractive than the colour of the cakes made with fibersol-2 desalted by yeast, yet the latter is also more attractive than the control cakes. The mean sensory scores of cakes indicated also the same trend for their taste. However, the overall acceptability of the prepared cakes shows statistically insignificant difference in values between the cakes made with calcium chelated fibersol-2 and fibersol-2 desalted by yeast. Also, the same result shows statistically insignificant difference in values between the cakes made with fibersol-2 desalted by yeast and the control cakes; but statistically significant different values between the cakes made with calcium chelated fibersol-2 and the control cakes, which results indicated that both cakes made with calcium chelated fibersol-2 and fibersol-2 desalted by yeast have an acceptable colour and taste. The consumption of cakes made with the calcium chelated fibersol-2 is specifically designed as high intakes of fibre and calcium. This ‘double function’ ingredient (calciumchelated- fibersol-2) can be added to processed food and dietary supplement products.
