Factors affecting college students finding a jobThe employment of college students is actually a huge social problem in recent years, employment of university students has become the most popular hot issues of social concern .since 1999 Our colleges and universities enrollment has increased greatly .With the accelerated pace of higher education, college graduates face an increasingly severe employment situation, the main reasons include the following:Firstlly, labor supply and demand are not in balance. With the development of global economy, China becomes the 'world factory', whose products are generally made by low-tech and low skill, so the demand for 'top' position is very limited,In the process China's development of higher education, there is a large blindness: basic higher education in China are government-driven and government action, while higher education in developed countries is market-driven , students blindly pursue popular professional, thus resulting unreasonable allocation of human resources. In addition, in the process of college teaching, too much attention is paid to theoretical knowledge, while practical ability of students is ignored.Graduates are unwilling to go to work in small businesses and rural towns and other skilled jobs, but it is precisely these areas where there is a demand for talents.graduates lack career skills, and have poor self-confidence some of them are overly dependent on others, blame the parents and blame the school,countermeasures and suggestionsTo reverse the current trends and to promote the healthy development of higher education,, I believe that the following measures should be taken.1 Government should make relevant laws and regulations, employment standards to protect the legitimate rights and interests of graduate employment.osphere.2 to enhance the overall quality of graduate training, improve the employment competitiveness of universities in training students of professional and technical knowledge, to be more concerned about the overall quality of training students in thetraining process,3 College studetns should improve their overall quality to establish a good knowledge structure and ability system. They should enhance various abilities, such as communication skills, organizational skills, the use of foreign languages and computer capabilities。

Genistein,which possesses weak estrogenic activity,has been shown to act in animal models as an anti-estrogen and,therefore,may play a protective role in hormon-ally-influenced cancers,such as breast cancer[6,7]. Experiments on both animals and humans have shown that soybean protein has hypocholesterolemic*Corresponding author.Tel.:+1-519-767-6246;fax:+1-519-767-6240.E-mail address:cjackson@lsd.uoguelph.ca(C.-J.C.Jackson).0032-9592/02/$-see front matter©2002Elsevier Science Ltd.All rights reserved.

Epidemiological studies have shown that women who have higher intake of soy foods have lower rates of osteoporosis[5].Genistein administration in two ovariectamized rat models,reduced rates of bone loss [9],and isoflavones may directly inhibit bone resorption [14].As isoflavones are weak estrogens,ingestion of soybean foods has been proposed as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy for post-menopausal women[15].The processing of soybeans affects the nutritional content of the soy food products significantly[16,17]. There have been reports on the isoflavone content of some soybean varieties and soy foods as well as the effects of processing on these compounds[18–20].Dis-tribution of isoflavones in commercial soy food prod-ucts is determined by the variety of the soybeans,the processing conditions,and by dilution with non-soy ingredient[16].Heat processing,enzymic hydrolysis and fermentation significantly alter the distribution of the isoflavone components in soy foods[16].Certain processing methods,such as boiling,milling,and protein coagulation in tofu production do not destroy daidzein or genistein significantly,while other methods such as roasting(high heat treatment)result in a15–21%loss of daidzein and genistein,respectively[21]. Defoaming during the heating process of soy beverage production may also remove isoflavones[22].The ob-jective of this investigation was to analyze the isoflavone levels after each processing step,from On-tario grown soybean to soy beverage and tofu prepara-tion,in order to determine the effect of processing on distribution,retention and transformation of isoflavones.2.Materials and methods2.1.MaterialsRCAT Angora,a soybean cultivar with high levels of isoflavones[20]was grown and soy products were processed at the Greenhouse and Processing Crops, Research Center,Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, (GPCRC-AAFC),Harrow,Ont.,Canada.Soy bever-age and momen tofu was prepared as described by Mullin et al.[23](Fig.1).HPLC grade acetonitrile and methanol were purchased from Caledon(Mississauga, Ont.).2.2.Isofla6one standardsSix isoflavone standards were used in quantification of total isoflavones;daidzein(Sigma Chemical Co,St. Louis,MO),genistein(Fluka Biochemika, Ronkonkonma,NY),glycitein and glycitin(Plantech, UK),and daidzin and genistin(Indofine Chemical Company,Belle Mead,NJ)and their extinction coeffi-cients were measured(Table1).The glucosides6¦-O-malonyldaidzin,6¦-O-malonylgenistin,6¦-O-malonyl-glycitin,6¦-O-acetyldaidzin,6¦-O-acetylgenistin and6¦-O-acetylglycitin were isolated in our laboratory and used for peak confirmation only.The identity of all standards was confirmed by mass spectra.Fig.1.Structures of the12isoflavones in soybean.C.-J.C.Jackson et al./Process Biochemistry37(2002)1117–11231119Table1Extinction coefficients of isoflavone standards used in the quantifica-tion of unknownsm at u max Molecularu max(nm)Standard Workingrange(m g/ml)weight26000254Daidzein0.2–110250373002702620.5–120 Genistein262Glycitein223872840.1–20258Daidzin290004160.3–90417004322620.3–80 Genistin26303Glycitin4462620.1–35amount of water(ca.400ml)was added to the soy-beans,and the mixture was blended using a commercial Waring blender at high speed for4min.The remaining water was boiled and added to the heavy slurry and blended at high speed for1min to form light slurry.A commercial juice extractor was used to extract the soy beverage from the slurry.The slurry was poured into the extractor,the soy beverage was collected,and the okara(grit)was re-centrifuged to extract the remaining soy beverage.The volume of soy beverage was mea-sured to determine the beverage yield per kg soybean seed protein.Soy beverage was heated up to98°C(with stirring) and held at the same temperature for two minutes. Coagulant solution(1.5g glucono delta lactone(GDL) in20ml distilled water)was combined with the heated soy beverage in a beaker,and this mixture was allowed to stand for30min to solidify to tofu.The tofu was removed from the beaker and wrapped infine-mesh polyester cloth.The whey was collected,and the tofu was placed in the running cold water for at least one hour.The weight of the tofu was then recorded to determine the yield of tofu per kg soybean seed protein.2.4.Isofla6one extractionAll samples were freeze-dried,and these dried sam-ples were used in the isoflavone analyses.Approxi-mately,0.3g offinely ground raw soybean,0.15g of soaked soybean,0.05g of slurry,0.5g of dried bever-age of okara,0.5g of tofu,and0.2g of whey were weighed into125mlflat bottomflasks,and12ml of extraction solution(acetonitrile:0.1N HCl in5:1ratio) was added to eachflask.The solution was mixed using a rotary shaker(120rpm)overnight at room tempera-ture.Extracts were suctionfiltered into250ml round bottomflasks through Whatman No.42filter paper and washed twice with12ml volumes of extraction solu-tion.Samples were condensed to approximately1ml using a vacuum rotary evaporator(Bu¨chi,Brinkmann, Switzerland)with a water bath at30°C.The dried material was re-dissolved in a mixture of methanol:water(80:20,v:v)to afinal volume of10ml andfiltered through a0.22m m PTFE syringefilter (MSI,Westboro,MA)prior to HPLC analysis(modifi-cation of Wang and Murphy,[16]).All steps were performed in reduced light conditions to minimize light-induced isoflavone degradation.2.5.HPLC analysis of isofla6onesAnalysis of isoflavones was performed by a modifica-tion of a method described by Wang and Murphy[16]. High Performance Liquid Chromatograph(HPLC)ap-paratus consisted of Waters(Marlborough,MA)600E multisolvent delivery system,717plus auto sampler,The quantities of malonyl-and acetyl-glucosides were estimated by using the standard curves of their respec-tive aglycone or glucosides and correcting for their molecular weight.Biochanin-A,an isomer of glycitein, which was not found in soybeans,was used to estimate analyte recovery.2.3.Soy be6erage and tofu preparationSoy beverage and soft(silken)tofu was prepared based on traditional methods[26]as described in detail by Mullin et al.,[23](Fig.2)While there are many variations of tofu processing methods used in industrial facilities,the method[23]used in this study is a labora-tory scale procedure developed following many Asian end users and designed to emphasize differences in protein quality among cultivars by using a constant water:protein ratio of18:1.It has good reproducibility within and across laboratories for evaluating cultivars for soymilk and tofu yield and quality[23].Protein and moisture contents of soybeans were de-termined using a Grainspec near infra-red whole grain analyzer(Foss Electric Multispec Division,York,UK).A standard amount of water per gram protein(18:1) was used to prepare soy beverage.Half of the required Fig.2.The major steps involved in soy beverage and tofu prepara-tion.C.-J.C.Jackson et al./Process Biochemistry37(2002)1117–1123 1120996photodiode array(PDA)detector monitoring at200–350nm or a Waters486tunable absorbance UVdetector set at254nm,and an NEC computer withMILLENNIUM(version2.10)chromatography software.The column used was a YMC-pack ODS-AM-303column(5m m,250×4.6mm i.d.)(YMC Inc,Wilming-ton,NC)equipped with an AM direct connect C-18guard column.All HPLC analyses were performed atambient temperature.A Hewlett–Packard8452A diodearray spectrophotometer was used to verify the concen-trations of stock standards prior to use.The mobile phases for HPLC consisted of solvent(A)0.1%(v/v)acetic acid infiltered MilliQ water,and(B)0.1%(v/v)acetic acid in acetonitrile.The solvent gradi-ent was as follows:Solvent B was increased from15to25%over35min,then increased to26.5%within next12min,andfinally to50%within50s and held at thatpercentage for next14.50min.Theflow rate was1 ml/min up to48min and increased to1.3ml/min from 48.50min till63min.A Water996series photodiode array detector(Millipore Corp,Marborough,MA) monitored from200to350nm.The minimum de-tectable concentrations for genistein and daidzein were 100and185ng/ml,respectively.UV spectra were recorded and area responses were integrated by Waters software(MILLENNIUM,version2.10).2.6.Calibration cur6es and reco6eryCrystalline standards were dissolved in80% methanol to give a concentration of about1000m g/ml. The concentrations of the stock solutions were calcu-lated using the absorbance value at the wavelength of maximum absorption(u max)of diluted standard solu-tions,the molecular weight of the isoflavone and the extinction coefficient[24].The purity of each standard was determined by the percentage of the peak area in the HPLC/PDA chromatograph.Standard curves were obtained by plotting standard concentration(at nine concentrations)as a function of peak area in HPLC chromatograms.High linearity(R\0.99)was obtained for each curve.Quantities of6¦-O-acetyl-daidzin,6¦-O-acetyl-genistin,6¦-O-acetyl-glycitin,6¦-O-malonyl-daidzin,6¦-O-malonyl-genistin and6¦-O-malonyl-glycitin were determined by using standard curves for daidzin,genistin,and glycitin,respectively,and adjust-ing for the molecular weight differences.Recovery was estimated using added biochanin-A. All samples were spiked with approximately100m l of biochanin-A solution(1000m g/ml)in80%methanol. The solvent was allowed to dry prior to the addition of extraction solvent better to imitate endogenous isoflavones.Recovery values ranged from80to100%. The HPLC chromatography of the twelve isoflavones are illustrated in Fig.3.Fig.3.Reverse-phase HPLC chromatogram of the twelve isoflavones in soybean.2.7.Statistical analysesThe processing treatment was replicated three times. All experimental units were analyzed in duplicate.Val-ues were presented as the average of six replicate mean9S.D..One-way ANOVA was performed to de-termine significant differences in isoflavones present in the soy product during the different processing steps (h=0.05).3.Results and discussionThis investigation showed that the total recovery of isoflavones in tofu was as low as36%(based on dry matter)when compared with the amount present in raw soybean cv.RCAT Angola(Table2).However,the recovery of isoflavones in the soy beverage was54%.It is apparent that each processing step in tofu manufac-turing contributes to the loss of isoflavones,resulting in a considerable amount of isoflavones being lost in the resultant by-products.Similar to the present results, Wang and Murphy[17]observed recovery of total isoflavones in traditional momem tofu as33%.How-ever,recovery of isoflavones from soy beverage was higher(67%)in the present study compared with that in Wang and Murphy’[17]study where it was only36%. The difference seems to result from the type of coagu-lant used in tofu preparation.It is apparent from this study that use of glucano delta lactone(GDL)as the coagulant might be better and more efficient than CaCO4that was used in the previous study[17]in terms of recovering isoflavones in tofu from soy beverage. The loss of isoflavones with the soaking water as estimated by the differences in the amount detected in raw soybeans and soaked soybeans was4%.The totalC.-J.C.Jackson et al./Process Biochemistry37(2002)1117–11231121isoflavone content of the slurry(550mg)was lower than that of the raw soaked soybeans(690mg)(Table 2)and a change in distribution of isoflavone compo-nents was observed(Table3).Grinding of soaked-soy-bean in boiling water seems to result in the major loss of isoflavones during processing.The present study also showed that the composition of the isoflavones could vary from one step to another during processing.The malonyl conjugates were espe-cially unstable when exposed to heat.The levels of isoflavone aglycones,daidzein and genistein,increased by12-and23-fold,respectively,due to the soaking, heating,and grinding processes.Levels of malonyl daidzin and malonylgenistin decreased,due to the cleavage of malonyl ester groups to form daidzin and genistin upon heating and grinding.It is well docu-mented that the profile of isoflavones changes due to temperature during processing[25–27].It is also re-ported that malonyl glucosides are easily decarboxy-lated to their corresponding acetyl derivatives,as we observed[2,27].When the slurry wasfiltered to extract the soy bever-age,approximately two-thirds of the isoflavones parti-tioned into the soy beverage,while only one-third fractionated into the by-product,okara(Table2).The protein content of okara was similar to that of soy beverage and tofu(about5%)suggesting that a signifi-cant portion of the nutritional content of the soybean is being lost along with the okara.Therefore,there is a great potential for utilizing the okara as an animal feed with a good source of protein and isoflavones.There was a greater percentage of aglycones(15.4%),glu-cosides(28.9%)and acety-genistin(0.89%)in the okara as compared with the soy beverage(5.41%aglycones, 22.2%glucosides and0.34%acetyl-genistin)(Table3),likely due to the low solubility of aglycones in the aqueous media.In the soy beverage,a greater percent-age of malonyl-glucosides(72%)were present than in okara(54.9%)(Table3).The yield of tofu was2.75g fresh tofu per gram dry soybean(404g fresh tofu from147g dry soybeans in starting material),and the tofu contained36%of the isoflavones presented in the starting material(i.e.260 mg isoflavones in tofu relative to720mg isoflavones in raw soybeans,Table2).There was a67%recovery of isoflavones in tofu when the soy beverage was coagu-lated using GLD to form tofu(i.e.260mg isoflavones in tofu relative to390mg isoflavones in soy beverage, with little change in the distribution of isoflavone com-ponents between soy beverage and tofu(Table2). When estimated from the amount of isoflavones present in the soy beverage and tofu,assuming no loss due to heating and coagulation,the maximum isoflavone content in the whey would be about18%of the total isoflavone present in the starting material.In contrast,Wang and Murphy[17]observed44%of isoflavone in whey.The different results could be partly due to the manner in which the tofu was prepared using different coagulant,the whey was collected,or the soybean variety used[20,26].The percentage of each of the components in the soy beverage and tofu was very similar,except that about5%of the malonyl-glucosides were converted to glucosides in the tofu derived from the soy beverage(Table3).The heating process in-volved in making tofu from the soy beverage was likely responsible for this conversion[25].Results indicate that the loss of isoflavones was significant when the soy beverage is coagulated to form tofu,and the type of coagulant may have different influence.Isoflavones may be associated with proteins,and the losses ofTable2Impact of processing on yield,percent moisture,percent protein and isoflavone contents(three aglycones)in soybeans products and by-products

protein-associated isoflavones being released into the whey.It is necessary in future to develop optimum conditions for coagula-tion of soy beverage into tofu to retain the maximum amount of isoflavones in thefinal product.The estimated total mass of isoflavones lost in the soaking water,okara and whey were30,220,and13 mg,respectively.These values represent isoflavone losses of4,31and\18%,respectively(relative to the total isoflavone in starting material,720mg),through-out the processing steps(Table2).The soaking and cooking steps in soy beverage and tofu production yielded higher concentrations of aglycones and glu-cosides with decreased concentrations of malonyl derivatives,which were,observed previously[17].There were slight increases in the levels of acetyl-genistin and acetyl-daidzin throughout the processing of soybeans to soy beverage and tofu.In conclusion,it was shown that some isoflavones were lost in the processing steps,which involved heat-ing,grinding,and various fractionations.The isoflavones,which remain in the by-products(okara and whey),are not currently utilized fully in North America as food or feed sources.This study suggests that the development of efficient processing techniques is warranted for better utilization of soybean in soy beverage and tofu preparation,as well as,to make use of their by-products in value-added foods or animal feeds.AcknowledgementsThis research was funded by Ontario Soybean Grow-ers and the work was carried out collaboratively with University of Guelph and GPCRC-AAFC,Harrow,

学业自我效能感英语

学业自我效能感英语

学业自我效能感英语The Importance of Academic Self-Efficacy.In the realm of education, self-efficacy plays apivotal role in determining an individual's approach towards learning, motivation, and ultimately, academic success. Academic self-efficacy, often referred to as the belief in one's own capabilities to succeed in academic tasks and challenges, is a crucial component of educational psychology. It involves a sense of confidence and competence that drives students to engage actively with their studies, persevere in the face of difficulties, and set higher goals for themselves.At the core of academic self-efficacy lies the belief that one has the ability to influence one's own learning outcomes. This belief is not static; it evolves through a combination of personal experiences, social interactions, and the strategies employed by individuals to cope with academic demands. When students believe that they canmaster new concepts, solve problems, and perform well in exams, they are more likely to approach learning with enthusiasm and determination.One of the key factors that influence academic self-efficacy is past performance. Successes in academic tasks boost a student's confidence and increase their belief in their own abilities. Conversely, failures can have a demotivating effect, leading to doubts about one's capabilities. However, it's important to note that the impact of past performance on self-efficacy is not absolute. Students have the ability to reinterpret their failures as learning opportunities and use them as stepping stones towards future successes.The role of teachers and peers in fostering academicself-efficacy cannot be overstated. Encouraging feedback, supportive learning environments, and challenging yet achievable tasks all contribute to building students'beliefs in their own abilities. Teachers, in particular,play a crucial role by providing opportunities for success, modeling effective learning strategies, and fostering agrowth mindset among their students.Another significant aspect of academic self-efficacy is the use of self-regulatory strategies. These strategies, such as goal-setting, self-monitoring, and self-reflection, enable students to take control of their learning process and adjust their approach based on their progress and challenges encountered. By actively monitoring their learning, students can identify areas where they need to improve and adjust their strategies accordingly.The impact of academic self-efficacy extends beyond the classroom. It influences students' choices of academic subjects and careers, their engagement with extracurricular activities, and even their overall well-being. Students with high academic self-efficacy are more likely to take on challenging tasks, persevere in the face of difficulties, and seek out opportunities for growth and development.In conclusion, academic self-efficacy is a critical component of educational success. It shapes students' approach towards learning, their motivation to excel, andtheir willingness to take on new challenges. By fostering a positive learning environment, providing encouraging feedback, and encouraging the use of self-regulatory strategies, educators can help students develop a strong sense of academic self-efficacy that will serve them well throughout their academic and professional careers.。

缓解压力 爱上学科英语作文

缓解压力 爱上学科英语作文

In the realm of higher education, where academic excellence is often equated with success, students often grapple with an array of pressures that can lead to stress, especially when it comes to mastering a subject as complex and comprehensive as Academic English. This essay explores the multifaceted ways in which we can not only mitigate such stress but also foster a genuine love for the discipline, thereby enhancing learning outcomes and personal growth.Firstly, understanding the importance of Academic English cannot be overstated. It is the key to unlocking a vast repository of knowledge across various fields of study, serving as a universal language that bridges cultures and disciplines. Recognizing its intrinsic value can help shift the perspective from viewing it as a daunting task to appreciating it as a powerful tool. This mindset shift can significantly reduce stress levels by converting the pressure into motivation.To alleviate stress, one practical strategy involves adopting a structured approach to learning. Breaking down the subject into manageable parts – grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing skills, and presentation skills –allows students to focus on one aspect at a time. Regular practice, goal-setting, and consistent feedback create a positive learning environment where progress is visible and stress is minimized. Furthermore, incorporating interactive and engaging activities like group discussions, debates, and role-plays can make the learning process more enjoyable and less stressful.Another pivotal aspect lies in self-care and stress management techniques. Regular exercise, mindfulness meditation, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle all contribute to a clearer mind, enabling better concentration and retention of information. Additionally, taking breaks between study sessions and practicing relaxation techniques can prevent burnout and foster a renewed enthusiasm for studying Academic English.Moreover, technology plays a crucial role in making Academic English more accessible and less intimidating. Online resources, apps, and virtual tutors provide instant support, allowing learners to work at their own pace and getpersonalized guidance. These tools often gamify the learning experience, thus nurturing a fondness for the subject matter while easing the burden of stress.Emotional investment in the subject can also be cultivated through contextualization and relevance. When students see how Academic English connects to their personal interests or future career paths, they are more likely to develop a passion for it. For instance, linking advanced English concepts to real-world scenarios or current global issues could inspire curiosity and ignite a deeper interest.Lastly, fostering a supportive learning community is instrumental. Collaborative learning environments where students can share experiences, doubts, and successes can greatly reduce the sense of isolation and anxiety that often accompanies rigorous academic pursuits. Group projects, peer review sessions, and study groups encourage mutual support and camaraderie, transforming the journey of mastering Academic English from a solitary struggle into a collective endeavor.In conclusion, alleviating stress and fostering a love for Academic English necessitates a holistic approach that intertwines cognitive strategies, emotional engagement, self-care practices, technological aids, and communal learning. By embracing these methods, students can transcend the barriers of stress and instead immerse themselves in the enriching world of Academic English, ultimately achieving academic success while cultivating a lifelong affection for this essential discipline. This approach not only addresses the immediate challenge of managing stress but also lays the groundwork for a fulfilling educational experience that transcends mere academic requirements.Word Count: 567 wordsNote: The above response is a condensed version due to character limitations.

在中国,家长重视理科的英语作文

在中国,家长重视理科的英语作文

在中国,家长重视理科的英语作文In the tapestry of Chinese culture, education holds a place of paramount importance, woven with threads of tradition, ambition, and societal expectations. Within this intricate design, a distinct pattern emerges—a pronounced emphasis on science and mathematics education, often at the expense of the humanities and arts. This preference is deeply rooted in both historical and contemporary factors, shaping the educational landscape and influencing the aspirations of generations. Historically, China's reverence for science and mathematics can be traced back centuries, to a civilization that pioneered advancements in astronomy, mathematics, and engineering. The legacy of figures like the ancient mathematician Zu Chongzhi and the inventor of gunpowder, continues to inspire a cultural appreciation for scientific inquiry and innovation. This historical context intertwines with the more recent narrative of China's economic rise, fueled by advancements in technology and engineering. In the eyes of many parents, science and mathematics represent the keys to success in a competitive job market, offering promising career paths in fields like engineering, medicine, and technology. The perception of these subjects as gateways to financial stability and societal respect further solidifies their position at the pinnacle of the educational hierarchy. However, this emphasis on science and mathematics is not without its drawbacks. Theintense focus on these subjects can sometimes overshadow the importance of a well-rounded education, potentially neglecting the development of critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills fostered by the humanities and arts. Furthermore, the pressure to excel in science and mathematics can create an environment of intense competition, leading to stress and anxiety among students. The pursuit of academic excellence in these fields can sometimes come at the expense of personal well-being and a balanced approach to education. Despitethese concerns, the emphasis on science and mathematics education in China also reflects a pragmatic response to the demands of a rapidly evolving global landscape. In an era defined by technological advancements and scientific breakthroughs, a workforce equipped with strong STEM skills is crucial fornational development and economic competitiveness. The Chinese government has actively promoted STEM education through policy initiatives and investments inresearch and development, recognizing its role in driving innovation and progress. Looking ahead, it is important for China to strike a balance between promoting science and mathematics education while ensuring a holistic approach that encompasses the humanities and arts. Nurturing creativity, critical thinking, and empathy alongside technical skills is essential for fostering well-rounded individuals capable of navigating the complexities of the 21st century. By embracing a more comprehensive approach to education, China can empower future generations to not only excel in STEM fields but also contribute meaningfully to society as compassionate and engaged citizens.。

烹饪学校为未来带来希望英语作文

烹饪学校为未来带来希望英语作文

烹饪学校为未来带来希望英语作文Culinary Schools Bring Hope for the FutureHave you ever thought about where the delicious food you eat every day comes from? It doesn't just magically appear on your plate! There are lots of people working very hard to prepare tasty meals for us. These people are called chefs, and they learn their skills at special schools called culinary schools.A culinary school is kind of like a regular school, but instead of learning math, reading, and other typical subjects, students learn all about cooking and preparing food. They take classes on things like kitchen safety, nutrition, food preparation techniques, baking, menu planning, and food presentation. The students get to spend a lot of time actually cooking in professional kitchens too!Becoming a chef is not easy. It requires a lot of hard work, creativity, and passion for food. Chefs have to be able to follow recipes precisely, but also have the skills to improvise and put their own personal twists on dishes. They need to understand how different flavors and ingredients work together. Attention to detail is really important too - from measuring ingredients accurately to making sure each plate looks beautiful when served.It's a very demanding job, but for people who love cooking, it can be a really fun and rewarding career.I think culinary schools are amazing because they help train the chefs who make the yummy food we all love to eat! Whether it's a fancy meal at a restaurant, a delicious birthday cake, or just a simple home-cooked dinner, having skilled chefs is what makes it all possible. And not only do they prepare tasty meals, but chefs also get to experiment with creating brand new dishes and unique flavor combinations. How cool is it that they get to invent new foods for the rest of us to enjoy?Culinary schools give students a strong foundation in cooking techniques and food knowledge. But they also teach important life skills like teamwork, time management, and problem-solving. In a restaurant kitchen, every person has to work together seamlessly as a team to get all the orders out on time. There's no room for mistakes when you have hungry customers waiting! Chefs have to be able to think on their feet and come up with creative solutions if issues come up, like running out of an ingredient or having equipment break down unexpectedly. The high-pressure environment helps build critical thinking abilities.Having culinary training can open up all kinds of career opportunities too, not just working as a chef in a restaurant. Some graduates go on to write cookbooks, become food stylists for TV shows and magazines, or work as personal chefs for wealthy families. The food service industry is huge, so there are jobs available in settings like hotels, catering companies, schools, hospitals and more. Chefs with an entrepreneurial spirit might even open their own restaurant or specialty food business one day.But why are culinary schools so important for the future? Well, as the world's population continues to grow, we will need more and more skilled food professionals to help feed families and communities nutritious, sustainable meals. Climate change and factors like drought and extreme weather are already impacting global food supplies. Having chefs who are knowledgeable about adapting recipes, using alternative ingredients, minimizing food waste, and implementingeco-friendly practices will become critical.Culinary schools also help preserve and pass down cultural food traditions to new generations. Every region and ethnicity has its own unique cuisines and specialties that are part of their heritage. By training future chefs in these traditions, culinaryschools ensure that the world's diverse culinary heritage doesn't get lost as modern life grows more fast-paced and global.On a personal level, food plays such an important role in bringing people together and creating warm memories centered around meals with family and friends. A talented chef has the power to craft those memorable dining experiences that make people feel happy, comforted and connected. For big celebrations, holidays or just a casual weeknight dinner, chefs use their skills in the kitchen to help make lasting memories around the table.Maybe some of you reading this essay will feel inspired to become a chef yourselves one day! If cooking is one of your passions, attending culinary school could be a wonderful way to turn that passion into a fulfilling career doing what you love. You'd get to be creative and experiment with new flavor combinations every day. And knowing that your hard work brings joy and nourishment to people through delicious meals has to be one of the most rewarding feelings.So the next time you bite into a scrumptious meal, take a moment to appreciate all the effort and skill that went into preparing it. Having talented。

为什么要给学校增加美誉度的好处英语作文

为什么要给学校增加美誉度的好处英语作文

为什么要给学校增加美誉度的好处英语作文Enhancing a school's reputation can bring about numerous advantages that can significantly impact the overall academic and social environment. By actively working to improve the institution's standing, schools can unlock a wealth of opportunities that can benefit both students and faculty alike. In this essay, we will explore the key reasons why schools should strive to enhance their reputation and the myriad of benefits that can be reaped as a result.One of the primary advantages of improving a school's reputation is the increased attractiveness it holds for prospective students. In today's highly competitive educational landscape, students and their families often place a great deal of emphasis on the reputation and prestige of a particular institution when making their college or university choices. A school with a strong and positive reputation is more likely to attract a larger pool of talented and motivated applicants, allowing the institution to be more selective in its admissions process. This, in turn, can lead to a higher-caliber student body, which can further contribute to the school's academic excellence and overall reputation.Moreover, a reputable school is often perceived as offering a superior educational experience, with access to renowned faculty, state-of-the-art facilities, and a diverse array of academic and extracurricular opportunities. This perception can be a significant draw for students seeking the best possible educational environment to cultivate their skills and knowledge. By enhancing its reputation, a school can position itself as a premier destination for aspiring scholars, ultimately leading to a more enriching and rewarding educational journey for its students.Another key benefit of improving a school's reputation is the increased funding and resources it can attract. Reputable institutions often have a significant advantage when it comes to securing grants, donations, and other forms of financial support from various stakeholders, including government agencies, private foundations, and alumni. This additional funding can be used to invest in the school's infrastructure, faculty development, research initiatives, and student support services, further enhancing the overall quality of education and the student experience.Furthermore, a strong reputation can also lead to greater opportunities for collaboration and partnerships with other prestigious institutions, both domestically and internationally. These collaborations can open up new avenues for student and facultyexchanges, joint research projects, and the sharing of best practices, all of which can contribute to the school's intellectual and cultural diversity. By fostering these connections, a school can further strengthen its reputation and establish itself as a leader in its field.In addition to the tangible benefits, improving a school's reputation can also have a positive impact on the morale and sense of pride among the school community. When a school is perceived as being of high quality and standing, its students, faculty, and staff are more likely to feel a strong sense of belonging and commitment to the institution. This can lead to increased engagement, enthusiasm, and a heightened sense of ownership, which can, in turn, foster a more vibrant and collaborative learning environment.Moreover, a positive reputation can also have a significant impact on the career prospects of a school's graduates. Employers often view graduates from reputable institutions as being more desirable candidates, as they are perceived to possess a higher level of knowledge, skills, and critical thinking abilities. This can translate into better job opportunities, higher starting salaries, and more advanced career trajectories for the school's alumni, further enhancing the institution's reputation and attracting future generations of students.It is important to note that enhancing a school's reputation is not a one-time effort but rather an ongoing process that requires asustained commitment from the entire school community. This may involve implementing strategic initiatives, such as investing in marketing and branding efforts, fostering strong relationships with alumni and industry partners, and continuously improving the quality of academic programs and student support services.Furthermore, schools must be mindful of the ethical implications of reputation-building efforts, ensuring that they maintain a high level of integrity and adhere to the principles of academic excellence and social responsibility. By striking a balance between enhancing their reputation and upholding their core values, schools can establish themselves as institutions that are not only prestigious but also deeply committed to the well-being and success of their students.In conclusion, the benefits of improving a school's reputation are numerous and far-reaching. From attracting top-tier students and securing additional funding to fostering a sense of pride and enhancing the career prospects of graduates, the advantages of a strong reputation cannot be overstated. By prioritizing reputation-building efforts and maintaining a steadfast commitment to academic excellence and ethical practices, schools can position themselves as beacons of educational excellence, ultimately benefiting both their students and the wider community.。

女性受教育程度对生育率的影响——来自中国的检验

女性受教育程度对生育率的影响——来自中国的检验

女性受教育程度对生育率的影响——来自中国的检验女性受教育程度对生育率的影响——来自中国的检验摘要本文总结生育理论和女性受教育程度对生育率影响方面的文献,在前人的基础上利用2001-2007年的各省的面板数据和2000年第五次人口普查的县级横截面数据进行实证研究发现,女性受教育程度的确是生育率的影响因素。

面板数据分析中收入、人均GDP、城镇人均住房面积和生育率正相关,采取避孕措施的人口比例和生育率负相关。

笔者发现,在加入了收入的代理变量之后,女性教育对生育率的影响变小了,但仍然是显著的。

这说明收入是教育影响生育率的一个重要渠道,但剔除了收入影响之后教育还是存在净影响的。

横截面分析中使用女性受教育程度变量的更多函数形式去拟合,比如二次项和三次项,也得到了类似的结果。

关键词:女性受教育程度生育率计划生育收入4AbstractBased on present theories and literatures on the effect of female schooling onfertility, this paper conducts empirical study with provincial panel date from2001-2007 and cross-sectional data of the fifth census, concluding that fertility isnegatively related to female schooling. Furthermore, in the panel data analysis,income, GDP per capita, and average living room of urban people make fertilityhigher, while the proportion of people that use birth-controlmethods make fertilitylower. In addition, after controlling proxy for income, the effectsof female schoolingdecrease but still significant. That implies that income is an important channel thatfemale schooling affects fertility.

Effects of Nutrition on Academic Performance

Effects of Nutrition on Academic Performance

Effects of Nutrition on Academic Performance Nutrition plays a crucial role in the academic performance of students. The food we eat provides the energy and nutrients necessary for optimal brain function, concentration, and memory. However, many students struggle to maintain a healthy diet due to various factors such as time constraints, financial limitations, and lack of knowledge about proper nutrition. As a result, their academic performance may suffer. In this response, we will explore the effects of nutrition on academic performance from multiple perspectives, and offer potential solutions to address this issue.From a physiological perspective, the link between nutrition and academic performance is undeniable. The brain requires a constant supply of nutrients to function properly, and a poor diet can lead to deficiencies that impair cognitive abilities. For example, omega-3 fatty acids found in fish have been shown to improve memory and concentration, while iron deficiency can lead to fatigue and decreased cognitive function. Additionally, a diet high in sugar and processed foods can lead to inflammation in the body, which has been linked to impaired cognitive function and mental health issues. Therefore, it is clear that nutrition plays a critical role in supporting the brain and overall academic performance.Furthermore, the socioeconomic perspective must be considered when examining the effects of nutrition on academic performance. Many students, particularly those from low-income families, may not have access to nutritious foods due to financial constraints. As a result, they may rely on cheap, processed foods that are high in sugar and unhealthy fats. This can negatively impact their cognitive function and ability to focus in school. Additionally, food insecurity is a prevalent issue in many communities, leading to inconsistent access to meals and further exacerbating the problem. It is essential to address these socioeconomic barriers to ensure that all students have access to the nutrition they need to succeed academically.In addition to physiological and socioeconomic factors, the cultural and behavioral aspects of nutrition also play a significant role in academic performance. Cultural dietary practices and food traditions can influence the types of foods that students consume, which may not always align with the nutritional requirements for optimal cognitive function.Moreover, unhealthy eating habits and food choices, such as skipping meals or consuming high-calorie, low-nutrient foods, can have a detrimental impact on academic performance. These behaviors may stem from a lack of education about proper nutrition or an emphasis on convenience over health. It is crucial to address these cultural and behavioral factors to promote better eating habits and improve academic outcomes.Addressing the issue of nutrition and academic performance requires a multi-faceted approach. First and foremost, education about proper nutrition and the importance of a healthy diet is essential. By teaching students about the impact of nutrition on their academic performance, we can empower them to make healthier food choices. Additionally, schools can implement programs to provide nutritious meals and snacks to students, particularly those from low-income families. This can help alleviate food insecurity and ensure that all students have access to the nutrients they need to thrive academically.Furthermore, involving parents and the community in promoting healthy eating habits can have a positive impact on students' nutrition and academic performance. By providing resources and support to families, we can create a more holistic approach to addressing the issue. Additionally, implementing policies that regulate the types of foods available in schools and promote nutrition education can help create a healthier environment for students. By addressing the physiological, socioeconomic, cultural, and behavioral factors that influence nutrition and academic performance, we can work towards ensuring that all students have the opportunity to succeed.In conclusion, the effects of nutrition on academic performance are multifaceted and complex. From physiological factors such as brain function to socioeconomic barriers and cultural influences, there are various aspects to consider when addressing this issue. By implementing comprehensive strategies that focus on education, access to nutritious foods, and community involvement, we can work towards improving the nutrition and academic performance of students. It is essential to recognize the importance of nutrition in supporting cognitive function and overall well-being, and to prioritize the health and success of our students.。
