There is some evidence [7][17] that abolition may be followed for a short time by an increase in homicides and crimes of violence , and a fortiori it might be thought likely that a temporary increase of this kind would occur if capital punishment were abolished in a country where it was not previously in abeyance but was regularly applied in practice; but it would appear that, as soon as a country has become accustomed to the new form of the extreme penalty, abolition will not in the long run lead to an increase of crime.

有一些证据表明，死刑的废除后可能会出现短时期的杀人与暴力犯罪增多，更有甚者认为，杀人与暴力犯罪暂时性增多的情况，在先前没有暂缓执行而是直接在实际中废除死刑的国家中可能会发生。

Our results showed that the total dendrite branch length and arborization of hippocampal neuron were not affected by the inhibition of ASICs for a short time, while the total dendrite branch length was reduced and dendrite development was impaired if ASICs were inhibited for a long time.It suggested that ASICs play a role in the dendrite development,which may help understand how ASICs affect the formation of neuronal networks and participate in higher brain fuctions such as learning and memory.

结果发现短时间抑制ASICs的功能并不影响海马神经元的树突总长度和分支，而长时间抑制ASICs的功能则会降低树突总长度，影响树突的发育，表明ASICs参与调节树突的发育，这将有助于理解酸敏感离子通道如何影响神经网络的形成，并进而参与学习记忆等高级脑功能。

Results: About 37.0% of the subjects knew chronic metabolic disease, and 20.8% of them knew little about the disease. Of the 125 individuals previously diagnosed, 104 were taking medicine; however, only 57 participants were taking medicine according to how it was prescribed by their physicians. The main reason for not taking the medicine as recommended by the physicians was a failure to realize the imperilment of the chronic metabolic disease, accounting for 47.2%. Multivariable analysis showed that degree of education was a significant factor in the knowledge level of chronic metabolic disease.

结果：所调查的394位居民中，代谢性疾病的知晓率为37.0%，对代谢性疾病相关知识完全不知晓者占20.8%；125例既往代谢性疾病患者中有104例（83.2%）曾经服过药，仅57例（45.6%）按医嘱规律服药；患者不规律服药的原因中，自认为无大碍者所占比例最高，为47.2%；多因素分析表明，文化程度是影响居民代谢性疾病知识知晓情况的主要因素。

Again, there is the balance of Divine sovereignty and human responsibility.Last but not the least. Did we notice someone's name was not mentioned? Nehemiah's name was not in it. Nehemiah in 6:15-16," 15 So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days. 16 And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God."

很多时候，因为你在为主工作，不需要在人的面前称赞你，名字也不需要提了，都是为主在工作，将来神会奖赏，我们听过也讲过这种话，但这段经文提醒我们这些参与工作的人都是很重要的，在神的眼中是很重要、宝贵的，我们也要尊重的他们，本来我们要请在我们教会清洁很多年的陈弟兄来到这里来感谢他，他觉得不好意思，怎麼样也不肯来，但我们要在这里谢谢他。

N, the real question for science was not whether it harbours a few megalomaniac fantasists, but why the frauds were not exposed earlier when the papers that made the claims were being reviewed by peers.

舍恩事件中，对于科学而言，真正的问题不在于它是否已经成为少数唯我独尊的幻想狂的避风港湾，而是当同行们在评审那些公布研究成果的论文之时，为何没能早一点揭穿其中的谎言呢？

In the cases of Dr Hwang and ex-Dr Sch n, the real question for science was not whether it harbours a few megalomaniac fantasists, but why the frauds were not exposed earlier when the papers that made the claims were being reviewed by peers.
