  • Association Between Social Capital and Depression Among Older People: Evidence from Anhui Province, China
    Bai et al. BMC Public Health (2020) 20:1560 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-09657-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Association between social capital and depression among older people: evidence from Anhui Province, China Zhongliang Bai1,2,3, Zhiwei Xu3,4, Xiaoru Xu2, Xia Qin2, Wenbiao Hu3* and Zhi Hu1,2* Abstract Background: To examine the relationship between social capital and depression among community-dwelling older adults in Anhui Province, China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among older people selected from three cities of Anhui Province, China using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaire interviews and information on demographic characteristics, social capital, and depression was collected. The generalized linear model and classification and regression tree model were employed to assess the association between social capital and depression. Results: Totally, 1810 older people aged ≥60 years were included in the final analysis. Overall, all of the social capital dimensions were positively associated with depression: social participation (coefficient: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.22– 0.48), social support (coefficient:0.18, 95% CI:0.07–0.28), social connection (coefficient: 0.76, 95% CI:0.53–1.00), trust (coefficient:0.62, 95% CI:0.33–0.92), cohesion (coefficient:0.31, 95% CI:0.17–0.44) and reciprocity (coefficient:0.30, 95% CI:0.11–0.48), which suggested that older people with higher social capital had a smaller chance to develop depression. A complex joint effect of certain social capital dimensions on depression was also observed. The association with depression and the combinative effect of social capital varied among older adults across the cities.

  • Research on Logistics Efficiency of Anhui Province
    2019 4th International Workshop on Materials Engineering and Computer Sciences (IWMECS 2019) Research on Logistics Efficiency of Anhui Province Han Yanhui School of Traffic and Transportation, Beijing Jiaotong University, P. R. China [email protected] Keywords: Logistics efficiency; DEA model; Anhui province Abstract: China's logistics industry has developed rapidly in recent years, and logistics efficiency is the main indicator that reflects the level of logistics development. This article first illustrated the situation of logistics development in Anhui Province and established an index system for evaluation of logistics efficiency, including four input indicators, the number of employees in the logistics industry, the mileage of graded roads, investment in fixed assets in the logistics industry and education expenditure, as well as two output indicators, the freight turnover volume and the added value of the logistics industry; then use the CCR-DEA and BCC-DEA models to evaluate the logistics efficiency of 16 cities of Anhui province. The results show that there is a phenomenon of unbalanced logistics development. Among them, Suzhou, Chizhou, and Anqing have low logistics efficiency, which is the bottleneck that limits the improvement of logistics efficiency in Anhui Province. 1. Introduction With the growth of China's economic level and the continuous transformation of economic growth pattern, the development level of logistics industry has become an important index to measure the comprehensive development level of a region. Anhui province is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze river and the Huaihe river. Together with Jiangsu, Shanghai and Zhejiang, forms the Yangtze river delta urban agglomeration.

  • Begleitbrief Paket 1
    Cha Ma Gu Dao - Gesellschaft für Teegenuss. Paket 1 - Mai 2016 www.laenggasstee.ch Endlich ist es soweit und Sie halten das erste Paket mit unseren Teeschätzen in der Hand. Es sind schlicht verpackte Tees à jeweils 24g. Wir empfehlen die Zubereitung des chinesischen Gongfucha; jeweils 3g in einem Gefäss von einem guten Deziliter (wie zum Beispiel ein Gaiwan) mehrmals aufgiessen und jeden Aufguss ca. eine Minute ziehen lassen. So können sie jeden Tee acht Mal geniessen. Mit diesem Begleitbrief möchten wir Ihnen kurz erläutern, welche Tees wir für Sie ausgewählt haben; weiter erhalten Sie hier ausführliche Informationen zu den einzelnen Tees: Yin Zhen Eine Top­Qualität eines echten Baihaoyinzhen in traditioneller Verarbeitung. Ungefähr 50 Stunden an der Sonne gewelkt, länger als die allermeisten heutigen Weisstees. Dadurch ist der Tee dunkler und sanfter, weniger grün­grasig als andere. Er wird am Taimushan angebaut, einer der Top­ Lagen für Weisse Tees im Gebiet Fuding. Weisser Tee ist schon seit den Anfangen in unserem Sortiment. Anfänglich bezogen wir ihn ausschliesslich über Grosshändler in Deutschland, seit mittlerweile 10 Jahren suchen und finden wir gute bis sehr gute Qualitäten direkt am Produktionsort in Fuding. 2015 haben sich für uns neue Welten eröffnet: Zum ersten Mal haben wir einen wirklich klassischen, genügend lange gewelkten Weisstee gefunden, eben den Yin Zhen der Ernte 2015. Yin Zhen ist ganz normal im Sortiment von Länggass­Tee und kann problemlos nachgekauft werden. Huang Xiao Cha Ein sehr guter Alltags­Gelbtee, als gerader Mao Feng verarbeitet. Huang Xiao Cha meint Kleiner Gelbtee und bezeichnet die bessere Qualität der späteren Ernte, während Huang Da Cha (Grosser Gelber Tee) die günstigste Qualität wäre.
