The development of the Australian National Curriculum and increasing emphasis on high-stakes testing has caused a radical upheaval of Australian education. While the history of this period is yet to be written it is clear that Australian education has been considerably transformed. Like all key learning areas, Health and Physical Education (HPE) have been scrutinised and significant debates have been raised in both popular media and the academic domain as to the impacts of such upheaval. Contemporary Australian Physical Education (PE) research pays particular attention to issues such as curriculum content,2 pedagogy3 and teacher training,4 yet surprisingly there has been no voice given to students, the key stakeholders in education. PE remains under scrutiny which necessitates that students are given a voice to ensure curricular decisions suit their needs. As an area of Australian education research, PE has to date neglected this student voice and in particular, that of primary students.

English scientific discourse is characterized by a certain amount of anthropotoponymic structures. They include anthroponyms, eponyms and toponyms. The aim of the research is structural analysis of the above mentioned items. The theory of the issue covers such concepts as “anthroponym”, “anthroponomy”,1 “eponym”, “eponimy” and “toponym”. Antroponomy (from Greek “anthropos”– man and “onyma”– name) is a branch of onomastics, studying anthroponyms, patronyms, surnames, patronimics, nicknames, pseudonyms, cryptonyms and anthroponyms of the literary work.2 Myaskovskaya TV & Semina VV3 have proposed the following classification: personal name (the name given at the birth), patronymic name (the name after your father, grandfather and so on), surname (family name), nickname, pseudonym (individual and group), cryptonym (a hidden name), anthroponyms formed from ethnicons (the names of natios).2 It should be noticed that not all of the above mentioned types have been fixed in the discourse under study. This is explained by its chastity and officialism. “Name”, “surname”, “initials+surname”, “name+surname”, “name+numeral”, “name+middle name+surname” and “position (degree)+name (initials)+surname” have been discovered in the discourse. The works of Varnavskaya EV4, Minkova D & Stockwell R5 as well as of many others are devoted to the study of eponyms. According to Varnavskaya EV,4 eponimy is “a nomination of things and events after real and mythic characters widely used while nominating geographic features, rewards, film companies and industrial groups”.4 One more definition was provided by Minkova D & Stockwell R:5 “These are new words based on names (epi‘upon’ onym ‘name’)”.4
英语科技语篇具有一定的拟人结构特征。它们包括拟人词、同名词和地名。本研究的目的是对上述项目进行结构分析。该问题的理论涉及“人名”、“人名”、“名源”、“名源”和“地名”等概念。拟人学(来源于希腊语“anthropos”——人,“onyma”——名字)是拟人学的一个分支,研究文学作品的拟人、父名、姓氏、父名、昵称、笔名、隐名和人名Myaskovskaya TV & Semina VV3提出了以下分类:个人名字(出生时所取的名字)、父名(以父亲、祖父等的名字命名)、姓氏(姓氏)、昵称、假名(个人和团体)、隐名(隐藏的名字)、由种族(国家的名字)形成的人名值得注意的是,并非所有上述类型都在本文所研究的语篇中得到了固定。这是由它的贞洁和官僚化来解释的。“名”、“姓”、“首字母+姓”、“名+姓”、“名+数”、“名+中名+姓”、“位(度)+名(首字母)+姓”在语篇中被发现。Varnavskaya EV4, Minkova D & Stockwell R5以及许多其他人的作品都致力于对名字的研究。根据Varnavskaya EV的说法,eponimy是“在提名地理特征、奖励、电影公司和工业集团时,以真实和神话人物命名的事物和事件。Minkova D和Stockwell R给出了另一个定义:“这些是基于名字的新词(epi ' on ' onym ' name ')”

Child pornography (CP) provokes sexual aggression in the individual. The deviant behavior i.e. aggression then manifests in the form of child sexual abuse1 especially child molestation. This is why CP is kept in the list of crimes and perpetrator is dealt as per laws of land for rigorous imprisonment and/or reformative psychiatric sessions. So, it is a converging point for legislative bodies, law enforcing agencies, professional psychiatrics, and public reporting organizations including research journals. These are the published articles which keep the readers aware of the dynamics and kinetics of a particular theme e.g. CP. It is mandatory for author(s) of a manuscript to cite references from previously published literature in introduction and discussion segments. Publication of the article increases citation frequency of each of the referred paper by 1. The impact of an article i.e. quality of article; or individual author on the researchers’ community is evaluated using the number of times it was referenced in other papers.2,3 Biblimetricians apply citation analysis to assess the impact. Findings of bibliometric studies support research mentors and financing units in recognition of warranted research activity. Many articles have reported “citation classics” on various specialties after identification and analysis of top-cited papers.4─7 Similarly, it is practice of several journals to publish their own thematic “citation classics”.8,9 However, literature is still scarce of most cited papers on child pornography – an evident research gap. The objective of present work was to categorize and scrutinize the features of the 50 frequentlycited papers on child pornography published in impact factor journals for the mass awareness about the menace.

To deal with the issue of historical development, we should emphasize the important role played by history by the masses. Is history created by heroes or heroes created by history? Is the hero overcoming the blindness of the masses, or does the hero come from the masses and become the embodiment of the feelings, will and beliefs of the masses? In dealing with the peasant uprising in the historical development, we have chosen a new way that is, taking the people’s evaluation as an important basis, rather than simply basing on historical documents and using so-called materials to speak. Moreover, it especially emphasizes the significance of oral history and the collection of folk literature among the masses which are not moved by the rulers.

Four oceanographic campaigns were done in the Perdido Fold Belt zone of the Gulf of Mexico during 2016 and 2017 to generate baseline data on several macrodescriptors to characterize the region and establish existing biological-ecological conditions before hydrocarbon exploitation begins in the area. General megafauna invertebrate data were collected by trawling with a sled net (2.4m 2 aperture). Seven Phyla were recorded in 66 trawls in a 274,593m 2 area at depths ranging from 44 to 3609 m. Species richness was 299, abundance was 37,024org/hectare, and biomass was 305.5kg/hectare. Total ecological diversity for invertebrate megafauna in the study area as represented by the Shannon-Wiener index, was 5.35bits/ind.Megafauna in this area of the Gulf is very diverse, with the highest abundances of Phyla and species recorded nearest the coast.

The rationale behind the Discussion Boards Assessment is based on the principle of learner–centeredness. It means that student learning should be characterised not ‘as a simple acquisition process based on teacher transmission but as a process whereby students actively construct their own knowledge and skills’ (Barr & Tagg). So how does the Discussion Boards Assessment encourage active participation of a learner in the learning process? According to research, it happens if it provides:

As a resolute development strategy and also in view of establishing agro-based development initiative, the well-known Moragahakanda reservoir project has established for the rural community development. This project is designed with the scope of establishing dry-zone industrial and drinking water supplying project also with the focus on hydro-electricity generation. The Data gathering corresponding to the study is pursued in the Laggala – Pallegama police area having centered the district of Matale where the project was being implemented and selected 68 families applying simple and random sampling method and the data collection along with the questionnaires, observations and interviews. The process of sufficient data analysis was attended via SPSS & Microsoft Excel software added with adequate scale of data analysis. Accordingly, the area allocated for the construction of Moragahakanda reservoir ( Kulasinghe reservoir) in the district of Matale was an area of rural neighborhood hence, a process was followed to shift the families from their residential locations to lately identified new settlement area. Subsequently, the change of residences from inherited site as well as from the deep-rooted social structure and to be fixed into a new location there had been several impacts on the status of employment, income, social relationships, village based attitudinal values and in principle that aggregated influences affected the rural social structure is visible positively as well as negatively through this Research.

Bangladesh for the last three decades the economy of Bangladesh keeps a constant positive growth. In the last one decade Bangladesh have experienced GDP Growth rate 5% or above.1 Although Bangladesh have been making significant progress in eradicating poverty over the last two decades. Poverty has reduced from 56.6 percent in 1991-92 to 31.5 percent in 2010.2 In the 1990s GDP grew at the annual average rate of 4.8 per cent in the 1990s compared to 3.7 per cent in the 1980s.3 One of the reasons for this economic growth is globalization process in Bangladesh.
