Analytics-Informed Design
One apparent challenge associated with learning analytics (LA) has been to promote adoption by university educators. Researchers suggest that a visualization dashboard could serve to help educators use LA to improve learning design (LD) practice. We therefore used an educational design approach to develop a pedagogically useful and easy-to-use LA visualization solution to support data-informed LD. We interviewed four staff in a medical degree pro…
The relationship between intermediary actors in the aquaculture supply chain at Tam Giang Lagoon, Central Vietnam
Aquaculture's profitability depends on a whole linkage chain involving all stages of producing, distributing and commercializing the product to reach final consumption.The efficiency of a supply chain is affected by the types of relationships among actors.This study aims to explore the nature of intermediary actors' relationship in the aquaculture supply chain and the determinants of this relationship.Tam Giang Lagoon, Thua Thien Hue province, Ce…

Strong correlation between Helicobacter pylori seropositivity and Chlamydia pneumoniae IgG concentrations
Desire for the body normal
Conclusions: The association between geo- graphical area and cervical cancer persists after controlling for 10 other factors. The results are consistent with a multiple infectious aetiology of cervical cancer and suggest that there may be additional risk factors associated with geo- graphical characteristics
Factors affecting response to an invitation to attend for a health check
OBJECTIVE--To describe the characteristics of general practice patients who fail to respond to an invitation to attend for a health check, in relation to demographic variables, risk factor status, health status, and attitudes to behaviour modification. DESIGN--Postal questionnaire before invitation to attend a health check and subsequent record of attendance. SETTING--Five urban general practices in Bedfordshire, UK. SUBJECTS--A total of 2678 pat…

Some nautical terms in the Kuwaiti dialect of Arabic
The field-work for the present article was begun in Kuwait in December 1958 and continued for a longer period in the spring of the following year. Besides making measurements on a fairly largebūm, the Muhallab, lying in Kuwait harbour, we had many interviews with sailors and shipbuilders, all of the older generation of Kuwaitis

Art. II.—Miscellaneous hymns from the Rig and Atherva Vedas
The hymns of the Rig Veda are, as is well known, almost entirely of a religious character, designed, or at least, adapted, for recitation at the worship of the various popular deities, or at some of the ceremonials connected with various important events in the domestic or public life of the ancient Indians. Among these, however, are interspersed a few of a different description, which, from the wide celebrity they had acquired, were carefully pr…
Art. IX.—On the Interpretation of the Veda
I am led to make some remarks on the subject of this paper by a passage in Mr. Cowell's preface to the fourth volume of the late Professor Wilson's translation of the Rigveda, which appears to me unduly to depreciate the services which have already been rendered by those eminent scholars both in Germany and in England who have begun to apply the scientific processes of modern philology to the explanation of this ancient hymn-collection. Mr. Cowel…
Art. VIII.—On the Relations of the Priests to the other Classes of Indian Society in the Vedic Age
In a former paper on “Manu, the progenitor of the Aryan Indians,” published in the Society's Journal, I have attempted to shew that in general the authors of the hymns of the Rigveda regarded the whole of the Aryan people, embracing not only the priests and the chiefs, but the middle classes also of the population, as descended from one common father, or ancestor, whom they designate by the name of Manu. This reference to a common progenitor excl…
Art. XIII.—Progress of the Vedic Religion towards Abstract Conceptions of the Deity
In a passage which I have already quoted in my former paper on the Vedic mythology (p. 59) Yâska, the author of the Nirukta, informs us (vii. 5) that previous writers of the school to which he himself belonged (the Nairuktas) reduced the deities mentioned in the Vedas to three—viz., “Agni, whose place is on the earth, Vâyu or Indra, whose place is in the air, and Sûrya, whose place is in the sky;” and asserted that “these deities had severally re…
Art. XI.—Yama and the Doctrine of a Future Life, according to the Rig-, Yajur-, and Atharva- Vedas
It is only in the ninth and tenth books of the Rig Veda that there is any very distinct and prominent reference made to a future life. It is true that the Ṛbhus, on account of their artistic skill, are said to have been promised, and to have attained, immortality and divine honours (i. 161, 2; iv. 35, 3, 7, 8); but this is a special case of deification, and does not prove that ordinary mortals were considered to survive after the termination of t…
Art. V.—Contributions to a Knowledge of the Vedic Theogony and Mythology
In the fourth volume of my Sanskrit Texts I have collected the principal passages of the Vedic Hymns which refer to the origin of the universe, and to the characters of the gods Hiraṇyagarbha, Viṣvakarman, Vishṇu, Rudra, and the goddess Ambikâ; and have compared the representations there given of these deities with the later stories and speculations on the same subjects which are to be found in the Brâahmaṇas, and in the mythological poems of a m…
Art. III.—Legends chiefly from the Śatapatha Brāhmana
The Brāhmanas may be generally described as occupying an intermediate position, both as regards chronology, character, language, and mythology, between the Vedic hymns, and the Indian epic poems and Purānas. They are liturgical works, connected with the different Sanhitās, or collections of hymns, and having it for their object to explain the application of those hymns to the different parts of the Brahmanical ritual, as practised at the period w…
