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...

The Influence of Heated Soil in Crop of “Tamaris” Tomato Plants on the Biological Activity of the Rhizosphere Soil

Tomato is a plant with high heat requirements and sensitive to cold weather and frost. The optimum temperature for the growth of tomato plants is between 21˚C and 27˚C during the day and between 17˚C and 21˚C at night. The soil temperature is also very important for plant growth. The optimum soil temperature for tomato cultivation should be within the range 15˚C - 18˚C. Besides, the proper development of the root system depends on the optimal temperature of the soil. A temperature below 14˚C reduces and inhibits the growth of the root system and encourages the development of fungal and bacterial diseases. In this study, the authors aimed to evaluate the effect of heated soil on the population of bacteria, fungi and nematodes inhabiting the soil of tomato cultivar “Tamaris” growing in peat and coconut substrates. The experiment was carried out in 12 treatments and in 3 replications (one slab was one replication). The soils were tested in two different types of containers: cylinders...

Effect of Proline Pretreatment on Grapevine Shoot-Tip Response to a Droplet-Vitrification Protocol

Proline is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins. Some studies have shown that proline has been accumulated in plants in response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Exogenous proline has thus been used for improving some plant cryopreservation protocols. Further enhancement of cryopreservation efficiency for  in vitro  grapevines could be expected if stresses linked to cryopreservation procedures could be reduced. In this study, the authors studied the possible beneficial effect of proline in grapevine cryopreservation. Single-node explants from  in vitro  grown grapevine plantlets ( Vitis vinifera  L. cv Portan) were cultured on shooting media (half-strength MS + 1 μM BAP) containing no proline (control) or 50, 500, or 2000 μM filter-sterilized L-proline. Shoot tips excised from these microshoots were subjected to a PVS2-based droplet-vitrification procedure. Control and rewarmed explants were grown on a recovery medium containing ...
