Abstract Blockchain is arguably the next technology-mediated socioeconomic mega trend after ongoing era of Net Neutrality and Big Data. This theoretical paper explores blockchain technology its impacts on education. It argued that we cannot take for granted network neutrality, popularized accessibility Internet influence education will remain as know it today. promises, among others, a greater control over financing investing in education, implementing instructional projects,...

Abstract Blockchain—a digitally distributed, decentralised, peer‐to‐peer shared ledger technology that exists across a delimited network—is recognised as disruptive for the next socioeconomic mega trend. Most of researchers in education theoretically speculate upon blockchain's extraordinary potentials enterprises, finance, administration, and management education. Little attention has been paid, however, to problems socially inclusive knowledge transformation, sustainability, equitable...

We study bosonic atoms near a Feshbach resonance and predict that, in addition to standard normal atomic superfluid phases, this system generically exhibits distinct phase of matter: molecular superfluid, where molecules are while not. explore zero- finite-temperature properties the (a bosonic, strong-coupling analog BCS superconductor), quantum classical transitions between normal, states.

A digital divide continues to be reported across and within nations, first as an access issue second of effective usage. To address the latter issue, we argue that equity should not conceptualized solely a technical or resource related issue. We developed conceptual framework based on cultural capital parental mediation investigate complexity inequity. Our in-depth case study 22 Hong Kong students revealed although information communication technology (ICT) is thoroughly integrated with...

This article presents experimental and simulation results for the use of TV band devices (TVBDs) in white space, considering presence interference by incumbent services. Digital (DTV) services are major currently operating bands. With DTV service, co-channel adjacent channel deployment scenarios TVBD networks introduced. To safely protect a minimum separation distance from protected contour, which is called keep-out distance, required. We estimate different ranges transmit antenna height...

This study investigated the relationship between dissatisfaction in romantic relationships and dating violence perpetration among young unmarried adults. Using data from 412 individuals with experience, collected through a self-reported online survey, descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, independent samples t-test, hierarchical multiple regression analysis were conducted to examine potential gender differences. Additionally, moderating effect of insecure attachment on was examined....

This paper opens with a critical analysis of paradox in contemporary educational research and about Confucian Heritage Culture (CHC): the assumption that national boundaries coincide those distinct homogeneous culture, which consistently renders rather homogenous set phenomena, collides against more widely accepted discourse – culture transcends geographical frontiers is ever evolving character. It claimed this due to fact thin conception CHC competes neck-and-neck thick it. also addresses...

Abstract China's diversity of minority groups, marked by many languages and cultures, has led to much push pull experience between homogenising forces indigenous cultures. This is apparent in its bilingual education programme for ethnic minorities, among which Korean diaspora communities are be counted. Korean-Chinese people China have been exposed the global evolution from agricultural economy market-oriented industrial post-industrial economy. Paradoxically, this globalising societal...

Peace is not only the epicenter of global geopolitics but it has also been one most consistent and cherished desires mankind in every époque.

The work produced academic discussions among advocates antagonists in social science humanities. This article critically examines its main tenets education scholars' reaction them: whether Chen's deconstruction of "the West offers...

This paper describes B# (B-sharp), a programmable power supply that emulates the behavior of battery. It measures current load, calls battery simulation program to compute voltage in real time, and controls linear regulator mimic output instrument enables validation battery-aware power-optimization techniques with accurate, controllable, reproducible results. also supports training mode actual batteries, it can even be used for recording playback solar source. design has been prototyped...
