Materialistic Conception of History and the Establishment of Communist Party of China

Abstract: Materialistic conception of history requires Chinese must follow the rule of human social development.Materialistic conception of history requires Chinese must persist in the basic position that history is made by people,and fully exert the leading role of advanced intellectuals with laboring class' s thoughts.Materialistic conception of history requires Chinese must hold high the banner of Marxism and Leninism and follow the road of October Revolution of Russia.The establishment of CPC is the great victory of materialistic conception of history.To study and use the materialistic conception of history is the practice of promoting the localization of Marxism in China,which contains the world view,philosophy,value,methodology and struggle tenet of CPC.Our Party's accomplishments and its unusual development for 90 years have indicated that CPC is great,glorious and true,and the construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics must be realized.

Great powerplay in the indian ocean: implications for the region

Abstract: The Indian Ocean is important due to its strategic location, geopolitical significance and trade activities being performed through it. The United States of America is attaining energy, and other resources have a deep interest in the region. China, through its "string of pearls strategy", is encountering the American goals in the regional by the promotion of its economic activities, securing its dominance in the region, thus posing a constant challenge to the later as well as a regional power i.e. India. Contending interests of regional and international powers in the Indian Ocean Region has led to power projection, affected the security environment, fuelling the issues. The necessity to preserve the available energy resources for survival and to meet future needs is attracting great powers to the Indian Ocean Region. The close alliance between the US and India and dwindling relations between the US and Pakistan are leading towards close ties between Pakistan and China.

A multi-rate routing protocol with connection entropy for mobile ad hoc networks

Abstract: In Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs), when mobile nodes move to another location, the relative distance of communicating nodes will directly affects the data rate of transmission The further distance between two communicating nodes is, the lower rate that they can use for transferring data The connection certainty of a link also changes because a node may move closer or far away out of communication range of other nodes Taking into account those issues, this paper proposes a new routing metric for MANETs The new metric consider both link weight and route stability that be defined in relation with connection entropy The problem of determining the best route is subsequently formulated as the constrained minimization of an object function formed as a linear combination of the link weight and and the uncertainty of connection of that link The simulation results show that proposed routing metric improves end to end throughput and reduces the percentage of link breakage and route reparation

Effects of adding tocotrienol-tocopherol mixed fraction and vitamin C supplementation on coronary risk biomarkers in patients with hypercholesterolaemia with moderate coronary risk.

Abstract: Article history: Received on: 07/01/2016 Revised on: 07/02/2016 Accepted on: 24/03/2016 Available online: 30/04/2016 This study was a prospective clinical trial to investigate the effects of adding combined tocotrienol-tocopherol mixed fraction (TTMF) and vitamin C (TTMF+C) supplementation on coronary biomarkers in non-statin and statin treated patients with hypercholesterolaemia (HC) with moderate coronary risk. A total of 35 patients were randomised at baseline into one of two groups, (G1) TTMF+C (320mg TTMF plus 500mg vitamin C) alone daily and (G2) TTMF+C (320mg TTMF plus 500mg vitamin C) plus atorvastatin 10 mg daily. The entire supplementation were taken for 12 months. Fasting serum samples were taken at baseline, 2weeks, 3months, 6months and 12months post-randomisation and analysed for inflammatory biomarkers; high sensitivity Creactive protein (hsCRP) and interleukin-6 (IL6). Combination of TTMF and vitamin C supplementation leads to neutral effects on lipid profiles and inflammation; with no added benefit in statin-treated HC patients with moderate coronary risk. This neutral effects may be attributed to the tocopherol composition in TTMF which could possibly attenuate any potential beneficial effects of tocotrienols. Clinical studies using pure tocotrienols in the absence of tocopherols would further confirm this.

Cyber Security Strategy Implementation Architecture in a Value System

Abstract: In this chapter, we introduce an approach toward enhancing the quality of strategy implementation. As a framework, we use cybersecurity strategy implementation planning and execution. Justification for this work is the observed need to be able to perform strategy readjustment processes quickly and in an agile way, when needed. This requires processes and practices that are simple enough and executable with small resources in a relatively short timeframe. The problem statement can be formulated as follows: “We need to determine an utterly simplified, noncomplicated model to help us to tackle the complex problem of implementing a cybersecurity strategy of adequate efficiency in a changing operating environment.” We will construct an information structure architecture model to support the strategy implementation process. The purpose is to provide a platform to take account of the relevant selection of various functions and their junctions to evaluate the balance of strategy implementation compared to the defined operating environment.
