Chinese and English are of variant language systems, which account for some differences in their temporal concepts.In terms of the temporal concepts EARLIER and LATER between Chinese and English, Vyvyan Evans and MelanieGreen came to a conclusion that English tend to view time on a horizontal axis while Chinese on a vertical axis. Thepresent research intends to obtain a more general and objective view of temporal difference across Chinese andEnglish, by referring to definitions and examples in Chinese and English dictionaries and doing a survey amongsenior English majors in Wenzhou University.

That the individual shall have full protection in person is a principle as old as the human beings life, but it has beenfound necessary from time to time to define anew the exact nature and extent of such protection. As civilizationadvanced, an individual’s feelings and intellect, as well as his physical being, came within the scope of the legal“right to be let alone.”Iranian Constitution has guaranteed individual’s rights and freedom and has explicitly referred to forbiddance ofeavesdropping and interception of conversations in its article 25. Article 582 of Penal Code ratified in 1996 hascriminalized eavesdropping by the governmental officials. Article 104 of Criminal Procedure Code, which wasabolished in 2014, referred to eavesdropping under the judge’s order. Article 150 of new criminal procedure coderatified in 2014, and came into force in October 2014, has provided adequate safeguards to protect the individual’srights.

Scholars believe that implementation of a strong strategy is a panacea to superior business firm’s performance. Thisstudy tested the influence of five dynamic capability drivers on the performance of manufacturing firms. TheDynamic Capability’s View of the firm provided a useful framework where these drivers were analyzed using asample of 115 firms. Results from four drivers confirm that dynamic capabilities positively influences firm’sperformance. These drivers are technology, human resource, leadership style and structure. Strategic direction onlyinfluences other drivers but not performance. When all the drivers are combined, only structure and technologymatters in influencing firm’s performance. This study recommends use of strong dynamic capabilities to drive thestrategy implementation efforts to success.

By using a dynamic micro-simulation model named INAHSIM, we conducted a population-household projection inJapan for the period of 2015 to 2070. Due to rapid aging of the population, the distribution of the elderly (65 yearsold or older) by living arrangements has a profound impact on the social system. Especially, the choice of the elderlyamong a) living in one-person households, b) co-residing with child households, and c) living in institutions, arecrucial indicators for the future social burden of the elderly in Japan. In this paper, we projected the number andproportion of the elderly by living arrangement in future years. Trends of those elderly who have little relatives,therefore having high risk of dying in solitude, were also featured.
