Even those who disagree with the alarmist assessment often look upon nationalism with profound suspicion, considering it intrinsically hostile to democracy. The rise of nationalism, in their view, is rather ominous, because it must inevitably endanger Chinaâs democratic prospects (He & Guo 2000; Xu 2000).
Insects (from Latin insectum, a calque of Greek á¼Î½ÏÎ¿Î¼Î¿Î½ [Ã©ntomon], cut into sections) are a class (Insecta) of hexapod invertebrates within the arthropod phylum that have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae.
Thrips are small insects and may or may not have wings. The word thrips is always spelled with a âsâ since the word is both singular and plural just like the word species is both singular and plural. Winged thrips have fringed wings; in fact, the name of the order Thysanoptera is derived from the Greek words for fringe ( thysano) and wing ( ptera). More than 5,000 species of thrips have been identified. Thrips vary in size, though most measure between 0.5 to 5 mm in length.
