Received May 13, 2019; Accepted August 6, 2019; Epub October 15, 2019; Published October 30, 2019 Abstract: Objective: Based on the scientific analysis and research of home and home care systems in China and abroad, this paper discussed the needs, impact factors, home care problems, development methods, solutions of urban elderly community systems and urban community elderly care in Chongqing. This may provide some policy advice for effective/economic/equal service delivery to promote the development of China's long-term elderly care. Methods: With multistage stratified cluster random sampling, we classified all the districts in Chongqing according to the economic level and then 2 or 3 districts in each level were selected to conduct an on-site survey in order to understand the utilization situation and demands on home-based care service. According to the principle of free will, a total of 1635 elderly citizens aged above 65 fulfilled the self-designated questionnaire, including general information, health condition and demand of elder care service. The statistical methods included descriptive statis- tics analysis, chi-square test, univariate and logistic regression analysis by SPSS 21.0. Results: A total of 1553 valid questionnaires were collected with an effective recovery of 94.98%.

    THE GRAVES OF THE CHIEF MINISTERS OF THE TIBETAN EMPIRE MAPPING CHAPTER TWO OF THE OLD TIBETAN CHRONICLE IN THE LIGHT OF THE EVIDENCE OF THE TIBETAN TUMULUS TRADITION Guntram Hazod Introduction1 hapter two of the Old Tibetan Chronicle (PT 1287: l.63-117; hereafter OTC.2)2 is well known as the short paragraph that C lists the succession of Tibet’s chief ministers (blon che, blon chen [po]) – alternatively rendered as “prime minister” or “grand chancel- lor” in the English literature. Altogether 38 such appointments among nineteen families are recorded from the time of the Yar lung king called Lde Pru bo Gnam gzhung rtsan until the end of the Tibet- an empire in the mid-ninth century. This sequence is conveyed in a continuum that does not distin- guish between the developments before and after the founding of the empire. Only indirectly is there a line that specifies the first twelve ministers as a separate group – as those who were endowed with 1 The resarch for this chapter was conducted within the framework of the two projects “The Burial Mounds of Central Tibet“, parts I and II (financed by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF); FWF P 25066, P 30393; see fn. 2) and “Materiality and Material Culture in Tibet“ (Austrian Academy of Sciences (AAS) project, IF_2015_28) – both based at the Institute for Social Anthropology at the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Qinghai Institute of Salt Lakes, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Xining 810008, China; 2.

The results suggest that: (1) Sediments in the XT section are generally fine (median grain size ranging from 3.4 μm to 10.0 μm), but are coarse at the depth of 25 ~ 47 cm and 185 ~ 199 cm (median grain size varying from 15.7 μm to 59.0 μm). (2) Median grain size is positively correlated with low-frequency magnetic susceptibility (χlf). Redness a* is negatively correlated with χlf . 18 (3) Tentative comparison with χlf records in the XT section and δ O records in the global deep oceans shows that the Pleistocene climate change in the Xitaijinair salt lake region is possibly influenced by global climate.

Chongqing is the only municipality in the southwest of China directly under the Central Government, where the notication rate of PTB ranks top ten in China. This study analyzed the temporal and spatial distribution characteristics of PTB in Chongqing in order to take more powerful control measures. Methods : A spatial-temporal analysis has been performed based on the data of PTB from 2011 to 2018, which was extracted from the National Surveillance System. Time series, spatial autonomic correlation and spatial- temporal scanning methods were used to identify the temporal trends and spatial patterns at county level.
