  • Brilliant Performance at 2019 International Mathematics and Science
    Brilliant Performance at 2019 International Mathematics and Science Olympiad： Award-Winning Students and Representatives of Trainer Professors Meet with President (Courtesy of Hui-E Chen at the Division of Academic and Vocational Senior High Education) Taiwanese senior high school students participated in eight competitions in six subjects at the 2019 Asian Pacific Mathematics Olympiad (APMO) and the 2019 International Mathematics and Science Olympiad (IMSO), and their outstanding performance has been witnessed. On November 14, 2019, President Ing-wen Tsai met with those award-winning students and representatives of the trainer professors at the Presidential Palace. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Education also held an award ceremony at the National Taiwan Science Education Center, at which Fan, Sun-Lu, Political Deputy Minister of Education, recognized the endeavor of the 1 award-winning students, trainer professors, as well as teacher-counselors and teaching assistants from senior high school. During his speech, Zhong-Mou Li, Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering at the National Taiwan Normal University, delivered on behalf of the trainer professors of all six subjects, mentioned that the students have established a solid foundation in their respective subjects. However, human or social issues could no longer be resolved with knowledge of a single subject, he advised that students should conduct more interdisciplinary learning at the university or postgraduate stage in the future, which would be helpful for their learning journey. At the preliminary selection stage of 2019 IMSO, a total of 9,110 senior high school students signed up to participate in various competitions of IMSO. Through the semifinal, training camp, and final stages, 45 students were selected as national representatives.

N. Purav Marg, Mankhurd Mumbai - 400 088, India Tel: 022 - 2507 2322, 2507 2300 Fax: 022 - 2556 6635, 2556 6803 URL: olympiads.hbcse.tifr.res.in AN INVITATION TO EXPERIENCE THE FUN, CHALLENGE AND DEPTH OF DOING SCIENCE A major Olympiad programme in basic sciences is operational in the country. The programme aims at promoting excellence in science among pre-university students and selecting teams of students to represent India at the International Olympiads in Astronomy, Biology, Chemistry, Junior Science and Physics. This brochure gives the necessary information regarding this programme to all concerned: students, teachers, parents and others. Do India proud at the International Olympiads 2019. Enrol for NSEA/NSEB/NSEC/NSEJS/NSEP Introduction The international Olympiad movement is aimed at bringing the most talented secondary and higher secondary students of the world together in a friendly competition of the highest level. The Olympiads do not lead directly to any career benefits; rather, they provide a stimulus to begin a career in science or mathematics, to undertake a lifelong journey into the realms of exciting intellectual challenges. The Olympiads are not merely competitions, they are the meeting places of the brightest young minds of the world, and many friendships forged at the Olympiads form the seeds of scientific collaboration later in life. Much like the Olympics in sports, the Olympiads are a celebration of the very best in school level science and mathematics.

  • Povijest I Kultura Rimskog Svijeta
    Hrvatski studiji Sveučilišta u Zagrebu Odjel za povijest Povijest i kultura rimskog svijeta Skripta Predmet: Povijest i kultura grčkog i rimskog svijeta Predavač: dr. sc. Vlatka Vukelić Skriptu izradio: Tibor Jeličić Szörsén Zagreb, 2012./2013. EUROPA PRIJE I NA POČETKU RAZVOJA VELIKIH CIVILIZACIJA EUROPA U DOBA NEOLITIKA Od lovaca i sakupljača do nastanka trajnih naselja Neolitik ili mlađe kameno doba je razdoblje u kojem stanovnici Europe prestaju živjeti kao lovci i sakupljači te se počinju baviti poljodjelstvom. U neolitskoj Europi oko 9000. g. pr. Kr. završava ledeno doba, i započinje doseljavanje lovaca - sakupljača u sjevernu Europu. Oko 7000. g. pr. Kr. poljodjelstvo se polako prenosi u Europu s Bliskog istoka i postaje pouzdaniji izvor hrane od lova. Poljodjelstvo se širilo na sjever i zapad, od Grčke prema sjeveru i ostatku Europe, a posljedica toga je nastajanje trajnih naselja. Oko 5000. g. pr. Kr. po Sredozemnom moru plove prvi poznati brodovi, a oko 4500. g. pr. Kr. u jugoistočnoj Europi se prvi puta upotrebljava plug. U razdoblju oko 4200. g. pr. Kr. na sjeveru Njemačke, u Poljskoj i južnoj Skandinaviji pripitomljene su životinje i uzgajuju se usjevi. Redovite žetve osiguravaju dovoljno hrane, stoga ljudi razvijaju nove vještine i nastaju prvi obrti - lončarija!! Kao posljedica razvoja lončarije u stalnim domovima bilo je moguće čuvati posuđe potrebno za držanje vode i žitarica. Poljodjelci su morali ostati na jednome mjestu zbog njegovanja usjeva koje su zasijali, nastaju nastambe i prve kolibe od sušenog blata, pokrivene trskom i slamom; u sjevernijim predjelima kao građevni materijal koristi se drvo, ovakav način života omogućava razvoj sela. Neolitska revolucija Ljudi su pripitomili i naučili uzgajati goveda, ovce, svinje i koze koje osim mlijeka i mesa daju i vunu i kožu.

  • 150 Russia's Information Policy in Lithuania: the Spread of Soft Power Or Information Geopolitics? by Nerijus Maliukevicius* L
    Volume 9, 2007 Baltic Security & Defence Review Russia’s Information Policy in Lithuania: The Spread of Soft Power or Information Geopolitics? By Nerijus Maliukevicius Lithuania joined the European Union and NATO in 2004, thus attaining its vital political goals. However the merger of the Lithuanian information environment, in terms of culture and values, with the Western information environment still lacks clarity and stability. The results of electronic media (TV) monitoring (conducted by the author in 2005- 2007) reveal a significant increase of Russia’s impact on the content of Lithuanian media products. Significant segments of Lithuanian society receive popular information as well as news about the world and the post-Soviet region through Russian TV networks (Civil Society Institute (CSI) – Vilmorus poll, 2006). The same study shows that many Lithuanians still have a feeling of nostalgia for the “soviet times”. This might lead us to think that Russian information policies are successful in this particular post-Soviet country. However, the CSI-Vilmorus poll reveals just the opposite: in Lithuania, Russia is considered to be the most hostile country (CSI, 2006). This article focuses on the above mentioned paradox: the competitive advantage Russia has for its information policies in the Lithuanian information environment and, at the same time, an entirely negative image the Lithuanian public has formed about modern Russia. This dilemma tempts us to find a reasoned explanation. The article contends that the main reason behind this paradox is the strategy used by Russia in pursuing its information policy. The said strategy rests on the principles of resonance communication and on the theory and practice of information geopolitics – a strategy which fundamentally contradicts the current soft power principles so popular in international politics.

This is also one of the many activities celebrating HKUST’s 25th Anniversary. APhO is an annual international physics competition organized for high school students in Asia, modeling after the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO). It aims to advance physics education of young people and strengthen interaction and cooperation amongst Asian physics academics, as well as to train and inspire teenagers who are highly talented in physics. In APhO 2016, each participating Asian country or region sends a team of eight secondary school students to contest in the competition, and Hong Kong is allowed to send two teams of Offciating guests of the 17th Asian Physics Olympiad representatives to participate in the competition since it is the host city this year. Contestants will take one theoretical and one experimental examination in which innovative physics questions are set by academics at HKUST. HKUST is dedicated to nurturing science and technology talents. Over the years, the University has been commissioned by the Hong Kong Academy of Gifted Education (HKAGE) for many times to provide a series of enhancement courses in physics to student contestants who represent Hong Kong to take part in APhO and IPhO – nurturing 73 Gold, Silver and Bronze medalists in the two prestigious physics competitions.
