The History of Java Technology


The Dong villages are the representative of the cultural landscape of Chinese ethnic minority villages and have been included in the World Heritage Tentative List because of their outstanding universal value. However, because of the compact layout of wooden buildings, Dong villages are highly vulnerable to fire accidents. Since it is difficult for public emergency services to provide timely emergency response to remote mountainous areas where Dong villages are usually located, community disaster coping capacity (CDCC) becomes increasingly important. Thus, from a typical Dong village named Dali in Guizhou, we attempted to identify the features of its CDCC that contribute to the safety of the village. This study investigated the CDCC by looking at three topics: individual disaster coping capacity (IDCC), actual community disaster coping capacity (ACDCC), and potential community disaster coping capacity (PCDCC).
The IDCC was examined based on three factors: risk awareness, disaster preparedness, and potential disaster coping ability. The IDCC of Dali Village represents a predicament between high fire risk awareness and limited countermeasures and deficient potential coping ability. The ACDCC was examined based on three factors: disaster risk reduction planning, community firefighting organization, and fire protection measures. The ACDCC of this village has preliminarily progressed due to the firefighting measures and the establishment of a volunteer firefighting troop. However, due to lack of integrated fire risk reduction planning, the fire protection measures tend to be uncoordinated and some are even ill-considered. The PCDCC was examined based on three factors: basic community property, community connection, and potential coping ability of the community. The PCDCC of this village is characterized by strong community cohesiveness and ample potential responding ability.On the whole, the CDCC of Dali Village tends to be hampered by the lack of integrated planning and community involvement.

University of Oregon General Science Program

General Science is a unique area of study that allows each student to design their own academic program in the natural sciences (for students interested in the social sciences, see the General Social Science Program). Students choose their areas of specialization from a broad range of sciences, tailoring their studies to their particular interests and career goals. The Frequently Asked Questions section gives a detailed overview of the requirements for the General Science major, while the General Science Checksheetcontains a condensed version of General Science course requirements. The General Science Advisor can answer questions about General Science requirements and assist students in planning their schedules. GenSci students are encouraged to stop by our office (KLA 65 C) during Office hours.
General Science can work for many career interests. It can be appropriate for students interested in health-related careers (including medicine, dentistry, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and medical technology). General Science may be particularly useful to students whose scientific interests do not fit well within a single discipline. The neurosciences, environmental sciences, and biophysical sciences are examples of such cross-disciplinary areas. Combined with a second major or minor in English, General Science can be excellent preparation for a writing career in science, technology, or natural history. Combined with a major in a particular science discipline, General Science can provide a supporting upper-level breadth. The major also works well for students who want to teach elementary school or high school science. A bachelors in science in General Science can be useful in many careers, such as medicine, dentistry, education, and research. When combined with other majors or minors a degree in General Science can be excellent preparation for careers in law, business, public relations, and many others.
The General Science department is different from other majors in that it has no faculty. Instead, the department is overseen by a program Director. The GenSci Director, in consultation with and advisory committee, makes curriculum decisions,  rules on petitions for General Science credit, and can be contacted at gensci@uoregon.edu.
