School Bullying ≠ School Violence

School bullying, a very prevalent and serious issue, not only has bad effect on the school safety and management, but also causes the physical and mental injury of the students. And it is always misunderstood as the school violence, which happens so frequently in nowadays’ world and includes school shooting, school bullying, gangs, and any other things that make students and teachers feel threaten.

In fact, school bullying is not the school violence. It is only one of the forms of school violence, and to some extent, is also one of the causes of the school violence. And there are different types of school bullying, such as physical bullying, verbal bullying, cyberbullying, sexual bullying and so on. And the bullying doesn’t only happen in the classrooms and schools, it also happens out of school.

So how can we prevent the school bullying? What can we do to reduce the occurrence of the school bullying, and then stop the school violence?

Usually, the researchers analyze the statistics of school bullying from two aspects: victims and bullies. They use different methods and models to discuss the causes, the results and the solutions of school bullying. For example, a study made by the researcher from Taiwan shows the causes of the victims of campus bullying and some solutions for this problem are proposed. The researcher uses interview, semi-structured interview outline, sampling method and so on to collect related data. And the detailed research findings of some examples are presented by analyzing the victims’ parent-child relationship, teacher-student relationship, the style of bullying and so forth. And the final result shows that the prevention of school bullying should be done via the cooperation of students, teachers and school administrators.

In a word, school bullying is not the school violence, while it also threatens the development of students, teachers and schools, and each part of the school should do their best to prevent it and most importantly, everyone of the school should realize that prevention of school bullying couldn’t be done at one move, it would be a lifelong thing.

Incorporation of High-Altitude Balloon Experiment in High School Science Classrooms

High-altitude balloon is a balloon, filled usually with helium or hydrogen that ascends into an area called “near space” or stratosphere. The most common type of high-altitude balloons are weather balloons. Other purposes include use as a platform for experiments in the upper atmosphere. Modern balloons generally contain electronic equipment such as radio transmitters, cameras, or satellite navigation systems, such as GPS receivers. The mission of the High-Altitude Balloon Experiment (HABE) is to acquire supporting data, validate enabling technologies, and resolve critical acquisition, tracking, and pointing (ATP) and fire control issues in support of future space-based precision pointing experiments. The use of high-altitude balloons offers a relatively low-cost, low-vibration test platform, a recoverable and reusable payload, worldwide launch capability, and a 'near- space' emulation of the future space systems operational scenarios. More recently, several university...

Location Optimization of a Coal Power Plant to Balance Costs against Plant’s Emission Exposure

Fuel and its delivery cost comprise the biggest expense in coal power plant operations. Delivery of electricity from generation to consumers requires investment in power lines and transmission grids. Placing a coal power plant or multiple power plants near dense population centers can lower transmission costs. If a coalmine is nearby, transportation costs can also be reduced. However, emissions from coal plants play a key role in worsening health crises in many countries. And coal upon combustion produces CO 2 , SO 2 , NO x , CO, Metallic and Particle Matter (PM10 & PM2.5). The presence of these chemical compounds in the atmosphere in close vicinity to humans, livestock, and agriculture carries detrimental health consequences. The goal of the research was to develop a methodology to minimize the public’s exposure to harmful emissions from coal power plants while maintaining minimal operational costs related to electric distribution losses and coal logistics. The objective was...

Effects of Karate Training on Basic Motor Abilities of Primary School Children

“You never attack first in karate” might be the best conclusion of karate, which is a martial art practiced typically without weapons. It’s reported that karate has a long history for several hundred years, but the modern karate was spread to the whole Japan from Okinawa in the early part of 20th century. Now it has become one of the most widely practiced martial art forms in the world. Usually, it’s divided into Kihon, Kata and Kumite. As for the beginners, Kihon is more suitable for them because it involves basic techniques. Due to karate consists of dynamic offensive and defensive techniques using all parts of the body to their maximum advantage, the best understanding of true karate practice is the perfection of oneself through the perfection of the art. It not only develops coordination, quickens reflexes, and builds stamina, but also develops composure, a clearer thought process, deeper insight into one’s mental capabilities, and more self-confidence. So many researchers stu...
