  • Present Scenario of South-East Asian Countries’ Newspapers to Cater Local Scientific Issues Through the Regional Languages: an Epistemological Case Study
    International Journal of Research in Advance Engineering, (IJRAE) Vol. 3, Issue 1, Jan-Feb-2017, Available at: www.knowledgecuddle.com/index.php/IJRAE Present Scenario of South-East Asian Countries’ Newspapers to Cater Local Scientific Issues through the Regional Languages: An Epistemological Case Study Prof. (Dr.) Tapati Basu1, Ratul Datta (Ph.D. Research Scholar)2 12Department of Journalism and Mass Communication, University of Calcutta, 1Senate House, 87/1, College Street, Kolkata-700 073, 2Govt Gazetted Officer, Information & Cultural Affairs Department, Govt of West Bengal, Writers’ Buildings, W.B., Kolkata-700 001, India [email protected], [email protected] Abstract: This paper contains the background of the need of the study of growing interest in local scientific issues in regional languages newspapers. Mass communication of scientific issues at local level through regional newspapers is more or less same in the South-east Asian countries, particularly in India, Thailand, Afghanistan and Pakistan. For years, mass communication through regional newspapers had been believed the most important engine for social changes, and hence this study becomes very important. Obviously the questions arise, what about the regional and local newspapers which are published regionally from those countries of South-east Asia? Is there sufficient translator in the media houses who have thorough knowledge of local language and jargons? How far those translated news is correct and not distorted? English language was taken at one hand and Dari for Afghanistan, Bangla for Bangladesh, Hindi for India, Bahasa for Indonesia, Urdu for Pakistan, Thai for Thailand, Mandarin for China, Korean for South and North Korea, Russian for Russia on the other hand.

    3D television - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_television From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 3D television (3DTV) is television that conveys depth perception to the viewer by employing techniques such as stereoscopic display, multi-view display, 2D-plus-depth, or any other form of 3D display. Most modern 3D television sets use an active shutter 3D system or a polarized 3D system, and some are autostereoscopic without the need of glasses. According to DisplaySearch, 3D televisions shipments totaled 41.45 million units in 2012, compared with 24.14 in 2011 and 2.26 in 2010.[1] As of late 2013, the number of 3D TV viewers An example of three-dimensional television. started to decline.[2][3][4][5][6] 1 History 2 Technologies 2.1 Displaying technologies 2.2 Producing technologies 2.3 3D production 3TV sets 3.1 3D-ready TV sets 3.2 Full 3D TV sets 4 Standardization efforts 4.1 DVB 3D-TV standard 5 Broadcasts 5.1 3D Channels 5.2 List of 3D Channels 5.3 3D episodes and shows 5.3.1 1980s 5.3.2 1990s 5.3.3 2000s 5.3.4 2010s 6 World record 7 Health effects 8See also 9 References 10 Further reading The stereoscope was first invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone in 1838.[7][8] It showed that when two pictures 1 z 17 21. 11. 2016 22:13 3D television - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_television are viewed stereoscopically, they are combined by the brain to produce 3D depth perception.

  • An Aspect of Politics in Japan, 1999–2006
    International Journal of East Asia Studies, 22(2) (2018), 86-105. Decision-Making Process of Revision to the Basic Act on Education: An Aspect of Politics in Japan, 1999–2006 Norifumi Takeishi1 1 College of Nursing, St. Luke’s International University, Japan Corresponding Author: Norifumi Takeishi, College of Nursing, St. Luke’s International University, Tokyo 104-0044, Japan E-mail: [email protected] 86 Abstract By analyzing revision process of the Basic Act on Education (BAE), this study examined jockeying among political actors in Japan, 1999-2006. Particularly, we discuss this process’s meanings to three important political actors, the Diet mem- bers’ group of the LDP with a special interest in education (Bunkyozoku), the struc- tural reformist group of the LDP, and another ruling party, the Komeito Party. This revision to the BAE, believed the most difficult educational reform to coordinate within the LDP and among coalition parties, was resolved with few unpleasant feelings among actors because each received some satisfying benefits. However, from the long-term standpoint, for ruling parties overall, this “achievement” was not necessarily positive. Citizens did not desire such an ideological educational re- form as this revision; thus, it pulled many votes from ruling parties. That is to say, the revision’s “success” resulted in accelerating diminished approval ratings for ruling parties, especially the LDP. Keywords: political actors, ruling coalition parties, Junichiro Koizumi and Shinzo Abe, Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (LDP), election 87 International Journal of East Asia Studies, 22(2) (2018) Introduction Globalization’s advances have created two domestic trends. The first is cre- ation of markets for neoliberalism and movements toward deregulation.
