With the rapid development of Chinese language education, the role of teacher leadership in education reform is becoming more and more prominent. Based on the survey data of 104 teachers in a secondary vocational school in Yuxi City, this study investigated the level of teacher leadership capacity and discussed their promotion strategies. Based on Lambert’s (2003a) theory of teacher leadership capacity, the author developed a research questionnaire that including four structures of teacher leadership capacity, which focus on the vision, reflection and innovation, shared governance, supervision, and response to student achievement. This study adopted the five-likert point scale. Data analysis shows that the average scores of 17 items does not exceed 4.00 points, while the highest and lowest score are from “focus on the vision.” To improve the teacher leadership capacity, the study suggests that leaders should concentrate on the school’s vision as well as establish collaborative culture and atmosphere among teachers.

  • The Spectrum-STI Groups Model: Syphilis Prevalence Trends Across High-Risk and Lower-Risk Populations in Yunnan, China Eline L
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The Spectrum-STI Groups model: syphilis prevalence trends across high-risk and lower-risk populations in Yunnan, China Eline L. Korenromp1,12*, Wanyue Zhang2,12, Xiujie Zhang2,12, Yanling Ma2, Manhong Jia2, Hongbin Luo2, Yan Guo2, Xiaobin Zhang2, Xiangdong Gong3, Fangfang Chen4, Jing Li3, Takeshi Nishijima5, Zhongdan Chen6, Melanie M. Taylor7,8, Kendall Hecht9, Guy Mahiané9, Jane Rowley10 & Xiang-Sheng Chen3,11 The Spectrum-STI model, structured by sub-groups within a population, was used in a workshop in Yunnan, China, to estimate provincial trends in active syphilis in 15 to 49-year-old adults. Syphilis prevalence data from female sex workers (FSW), men who have sex with men (MSM), and lower-risk women and men in Yunnan were identifed through literature searches and local experts. Sources included antenatal care clinic screening, blood donor screening, HIV/STI bio-behavioural surveys, sentinel surveillance, and epidemiology studies. The 2017 provincial syphilis prevalence estimates were 0.26% (95% confdence interval 0.17–0.34%) in women and 0.28% (0.20–0.36%) in men. Estimated prevalence was 6.8-fold higher in FSW (1.69% (0.68–3.97%) than in lower-risk women (0.25% (0.18– 0.35%)), and 22.7-fold higher in MSM (5.35% (2.74–12.47%) than in lower-risk men (0.24% (0.17– 0.31%). For all populations, the 2017 estimates were below the 2005 estimates, but diferences were not signifcant. In 2017 FSW and MSM together accounted for 9.3% of prevalent cases. These estimates suggest Yunnan’s STI programs have kept the overall prevalence of syphilis low, but prevalence remains high in FSW and MSM.

Interventions in sustainability that improve agro- ecosystems are thus crucial. Current literature focuses on sustainability concepts, assessment tools, and intervention impacts, yet lacks in intervention mechanisms and implementation processes. Therefore, this study aims to present an intervention framework on agro-ecosystems that helps transform sustainability concepts into implementation actions. We first create the intervention framework on agro-ecosystems using a systematic approach, and then analyze the intervention mechanism. Next, we formulate the agro-ecological sustainability index (AESI) and its sub-indices to assess the results of interventions. We find that, by integrating interventions, we can reverse the sustainability trend from deterioration to recovery and improvement; however, with a spatial difference. We highlight that the process for a successful intervention comprises (1) utilizing an integrated intervention portfolio, (2) acting with a long-term perspective, (3) utilizing adaptive implementation, and (4) strengthening local institutions. We suggest closely monitoring the impact Citation: Fan, J.; Fan, X.; Jintrawet, of interventions, diversifying farmers’ income sources, and enhancing capacity building for young A.; Weyerhaeuser, H.

    Yunnan Lincang Border Economic Cooperation Zone Development Project (RRP PRC 49310) CLIMATE CHANGE ASSESSMENT I. BASIC PROJECT INFORMATION Project Title: Yunnan Lincang Border Economic Cooperation Zone Development Project Project Cost ($ million): $416.59 million Location: Yunnan Province, the People's Republic of China (PRC) Sector: Water and other Urban Infrastructure and Services Theme: Institutional Development Brief Description: The Lincang Border Economic Cooperation Zone in southwest Yunnan Province is the PRC's 16th border economic cooperation zone. Since its inception in 2011, it has focused on cross-border trade, logistics, finance, tourism, equipment manufacturing and more, facilitating the PRC–Myanmar cooperation. This project is the Asian Development Bank's (ADB’s) investment response to the local demand of piloting a modern and environmental friendly border cooperation zone. The project covers three PRC border cities and towns, namely Qingshuihe, Zhenkang, and Cangyuan, along the PRC–Myanmar border in Lincang Prefecture in Yunnan Province, PRC. The project area is a less developed area in comparison to other parts of the country in a remote mountainous area. Most of the population are ethnic minorities consisting of Bai, Dai, Miao, Wa, Yi, etc. This part of the PRC shares a long inland border with Myanmar without obvious physical separations, and many local residents from both countries are from the same ethnic groups with similar living styles and habits, and share similar culture, language, habits, and economy. The interactions and exchanges of merchandise, as well as border trades, have existed throughout the long history of the area. ADB and the PRC Government reached an agreement to use an ADB loan of $250 million with a similar amount of counterpart fund from the PRC local government for the improvement of regional cooperation and integration facilities and infrastructure to promote the regional cooperation and local economic development.
