The article is devoted to a sharp problem of educational practice: ways of cultural adaptation of foreign (in particular, Chinese) students in new host society as a condition of their successful education abroad. Chinese students now form the largest abroad students` community in main countries of the world. As the Chinese way of living and the education traditions differ a lot from the countries` they usually would like to continue their education at, cultural adaptation is seen in the article as the need for a comfortable education process both for the students came and the University host them. The Main methods of Chinese students` cultural adaptation process are under consideration of the research, paying attention to the period (stage) a student finds himself / herself at that also can be seen as the aim of the research. As to the methods, the ones traditionally used in social studies and general research work were used: ethnographic descriptions and census data, scientific method to collect empirical evidence, method of analysis, etc. As the result was presented a set of methods that can be used by a host University on condition of the Chinese students` cooperation to level down the cultural shock period for the student and to speed up his/her entering the host culture society.
Trichoderma is a genus of widespread filamentous fungi widely used in agriculture as biofungicides for controlling a wide range of plant diseases. Trichoderma, as is well known, can not only effectively control crop diseases but also improve soil physico-chemical properties and increase soil productivity. However, the effects of its control on crop growth and the soil's ecological environment are unclear. The results of Trichoderma on disease resistance, yield, and crop growth as well as the effects of Trichoderma on the soil ecological environment from the standpoint of soil physical, chemical, and microbial properties were therefore reported in this study. Furthermore, this paper highlighted the shortcomings of the existing research on the impact of Trichoderma on crop and soil properties and emphasised opportunities to address the gaps in the existing research on the effects of Trichoderma on crops and soil attributes. This review will provide a theoretical foundation for further research and application of Trichoderma in agricultural production.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
