Teaching Object Oriented Database with Db4o

Databases are used in many facets of society by an array of people. While the obvious platform for most database applications has been a relational Data Base management Systems (DBMS), the object-oriented programming languages which are widely used in software development are not well matched to their development. In many ways it is obvious that there is an ‘object-relational’ impedance and mismatch. There are currently only a few courses about object-oriented database development in universities. In this paper, an object-oriented database named db4o is introduced as a viable alternative to traditional database development methods. It is now used in our newly developed object-oriented database course. With a visual object management viewer, db4o helps students to understand basic object-oriented database conception and to grasp programming with the object-oriented programming language.

Design of Adaptive Web Interfaces with Respect to Student Cognitive Styles

One of the obstacles for incorporating student cognitive styles into web-based learning systems is the adaptive representation of learning material in web-based environments. This study designed adaptive web interfaces with respect to students’ cognitive styles by investigating the relationships between students’ cognitive styles and browsing patterns of content and interactive components. The system then adaptively recommended learning content presented with a variety of students’ preferred content and interactive components based on the students’ cognitive styles. The cognitive style instrument applied in this study was the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator which is based on Jung’s theory of cognitive styles. It is based on two fundamental cognitive functions, perception and judgment whose combinations form four cognitive styles, Interpersonal, Mastery, Understanding, and Self-expressive. An experiment was conducted to examine the impact of the proposed adaptive web-based system on students’ engagement in learning. Two classes of college freshmen participated in the experiment. One class was assigned as the control group using the conventional web-bases system without adaptive web interfaces. The other class was assigned as the experimental group using the designed adaptive web interfaces. The experimental results revealed Interpersonal and Mastery students in the control group lost their patience more quickly than students of the other styles. Furthermore, the results showed the proposed adaptive learning system could effectively enhance students’ engagement in learning for Interpersonal and Mastery students especially. The results provided evidence of the effectiveness of the adaptive web-based learning system focusing on student cognitive styles.

Individual Differences in Pragmatic Development

Conventionally, L2 learners are assumed to be able to absorb both linguistic and pragmatic competences simultaneously. Then, researchers find out the importance of an authentic environment for L2 learners and assume that the learners will learn the pragmatic rules of the L2 automatically under an authentic setting. However, even this informed point of view discounts a number of other factors such as “individual factors” and “societal factors.” As a result, several different learner characteristics, including age, gender, motivation, proficiency, and social identity/learner subjectivity, in L2 pragmatic development are scrutinized in this paper. With the advancement of technology, it is suggested that individual difference factors should be incorporated into different genres of research on second language acquisition, especially on computer-assisted language learning since many different social network websites and web 2.0 studies are here to stay in this 21st century.

Studies on the Effect of Physical Exercise on Bone Mineral Density and Degenerative Changes

Objective:

Research on physical exercise and human body bone mineral density, and the relationship between physical exercise and the degrees of bone hyperplasia and osteoporosis.

Methods:

Randomly select 53 males and 49 females aged 35-50 from healthy university students, social group members, and sports professionals in Harbin. Investigate their physical exercise history and divide these people into four groups respectively labeled as extremely high, high, medium and low groups according to their exercise intensity. Track their medical X-ray results, and use the X-ray densitometer to analyze such parts as lumbar spine, hip, femur, knee, and calcaneus. Strictly record the data, and adopt the statistical analysis of variance to test to study the bone mineral density and bone proliferation on different parts of each group.

Results:

The male overload and high exercise groups have relatively serious hyperostosis, while the overload exercise group has varying degrees of osteoporosis; in the low-intensity group, hyperostosis is not obvious, but the level of bone mineral density is lower than that of high-intensity exercise groups.

Conclusions

Moderate physical exercise can promote higher peak bone density and reduce the possibility of osteoporosis and hyperostosis. Doing physical exercise is an effective way to enhance human bone mineral density and prevent osteoporosis and bone hyperplasia.
