The total project investmentis 1.54 billionsyuan RMB, includingthe World Bank loan of 100 millions US dollars. The proposed JIAMP aims at improvingthe livelihood of the farmers in the project areas through establishment of integrated, demand driven and sustainable agricultural production systems (including market systems). The achievementof this objectivewould lead to reductionof poverty and greater social stabilityin the project area, as well as enhancedfood securityat province and nationallevel. The following three componentswere proposed under the project: (1) Irrigation and Drainage; (2) Farm ProductionImprovement; and (3) Market SystemDevelopment. Except for project areas of Xunwu County that lies in Pearl River catchmentof Guangdong Province and Pengze County that lies in the Yangtze(Changjiang) River watershed,the project areas of the other 19 counties are situated in the Poyang Lake watershedthat lies south of the middlereach of YangtzeRiver in northernpart of JiangxiProvince. Jiangxi Province,with a total area of 166,900km 2 includingcultivated areas of 22,532 krn2 , has the jurisdiction over 11 cities and 99 counties. It is located on the south bank of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River. The population of the province. in 2000 was 41,503,000 in total, including32,844,000 farmers. Poyang Lake, the largest fresh water lake in China, is located in the northern part of the province. It is a flowingthrough and seasonallake that acceptsthe water comingmainly from 5 river catchments (Gan, Fu, Xinjiang, Rao, and Xiuhe Rivers). The drainage area of the Poyang Lake river system is 162,220km 2 and occupiesabout 97% of the total area of Jiangxi Province. The project areas are located in the subtropicalzone with a monsoon humid climate.The mean annual rainfall varies between 1,387 to 1,795 mm. The rainfall from March to June usually comprises60% of the annualtotal. The mean annualtemperature is in the range of 16 to 200C. The yearly mean frost-freeperiod is 273 days. The yearly mean sunshineis 1,970hours. Forest coveragein most of the project counties is good, though differs greatly from county to county,with the best in CongyiCoumty, where the forest cover reaches 81.6%, and the worst in Hukou County beside the Poyang Lake, where the forest coverageis as low as 11.84%. In most irrigationareas, forest cover is composedof artificial(planted) forest, while the dominant species of wildlife are rabbits and variousmice, usually of low protection levels. Therefore, no significanteffect on vegetation and wild animalsis envisagedin the project areas. Based on a desk study,a number of naturalreserves are found to be either very close to the proposed i and/or water conveyance and reservoir appear to be within the buffer zone of the natural reserves. Before any constructionactivity starts within such areas, the projectproponent should contact the respective authoritiesat the Jiangxi Wildlife ProtectionAdministration Bureau of the JiangxiForestry Departmnentor their Nationalcounterparts. In order to seek local support,to increasetransparency and accountabilityto the public, to reach consensus with various stakeholders, and to enhance ownership of the environmental managementand the proposedproject, participation of beneficiariesand other stakeholderswas of crucialimportance in the environmentalassessment process. In order to keep all beneficiariesinformed, the EIA Terms of Reference(TOR) were sent to the libraries within the affected communitiesfor review and commnentby the interested parties. Notices were issued and were put up on notice boards. News media includinglocal newspapers, television and radio were also used extensivelyto informnall beneficiaries and potentially affectedpeople within the areas of project impact about the planned environmentalstudy, and their input was sought actively. The EnvironmentalAssessment (EA) of JIAMP is prepared to meet the requirementsof both the World Bank and the Govermnentof Peoples Republicof China and Governmentof Jiangxi Province environmentalassessment processes. Accordingto the EA TOR, this report presents the results of the Class B environmentalimpact assessmentfor the JLAMPbased on the study of five counties comprising of 27 irrigation schemes that were selected to represent the major topographic, social and ecological norms that are present within the project counties. A detailed environmentalanalysis of the 27 irrigationdistricts located in the 5 project cotnties of Pengze, Wuning, Hlengfeng,Nancheng and Gan, each located in a different river catchment, was carried out by the EA team. Wheneverthe irrigationschemes were in the proximityof natural reserves or ecologically sensitive areas, additional investigations were carried out outside the project counties to ensure that the proposed project have no significantimpact on the natural reserves, and if needed, propose further study programs. In addition, the counties for the EA study were selectedso that all major river catchment,flowing in or out of Poyang Lake, be presented to determine the potential impacts of the proposed project, if any, on the Poyang Lake, a Ramsar site of internationalimportance. Analysis was also made for each irrigation scheme around the Poyang Lake and on the banks of YangtzeRiver associatedwith the problemof Schistosomaisisbeyond the 5 typicalcounties. The environmental analysis of the Jiangxi Integrated Agricultural Modernization Project indicated that the project would have no major direct negative impact on the natural environment. The overall social impact is positive. The project, if successfullyimplemented, should increase agriculturalproduction through improvementof the economicand social well being of the farmers of the projectarea. A reliable irrigationwater supplyshould reduce yield reductionduring drought periods, while provisionof on-farmresearch and extension services and adequatemarket systemshould assist the projectfarmers with the technicalknow how and better means of obtaining maximum income from their effort without major negative environmentalimpact. The proposedproject, in general,should also have a positive impact on ii environmentalimpact. The proposedproject, in general,should also have a positiveimpact on the socio-economicconditions of the farnmingcommunities by improving their livelihood throughincreased purchasing power. There are, however,a number of unavoidableaspects of project implementation,.which,if not properly mitigated,might have potential adverse effects on natural and/or social environment withiinthe project areas. The identified impacts are reversible and the magnitude of their impactswould depend on how the proposedproject specificmitigation plans are implemented. It is believedthat the successfulimplementation of the proposedmitigation plans should reduce the enviromnentalimpacts to insignificantlevels. The other environmentalimpacts identifiedduring constructionphase are of temporarynature. Thesesimpacts include vegetation damage, temporary land occupancy,local soil erosion,public heath deterioration,minor noise and air pollution,and water pollutionmainly due to sediment loading due to soil erosionand unintentionaloil/fuel contaminationby constructionequipment. The main sources for such impacts include such activities as constructionof

    Strategies to Represent the Hakka Culture in the Translation of Xunwu Diaocha

    English Language and Literature Studies; Vol. 10, No. 3; 2020 ISSN 1925-4768 E-ISSN 1925-4776 Published by Canadian Center of Science and Education Strategies to Represent the Hakka Culture in the Translation of Xunwu Diaocha Xuebin Chen1 & Tong Liu2 1 School of Foreign Languages, Gannan Normal University, Ganzhou, Jiangxi, China 2 School of International Education, Gannan Normal University, Ganzhou, China Correspondence: Xuebin Chen, School of Foreign Languages, Gannan Normal University, Shiyuan Nanlu, Rongjiang Xinqu, Ganzhou, 341000, Jiangxi, China. E-mail: [email protected] Received: May 28, 2020 Accepted: June 30, 2020 Online Published: July 14, 2020 doi:10.5539/ells.v10n3p49 URL: https://doi.org/10.5539/ells.v10n3p49 Abstract Xunwu Diaocha (Report from Xunwu) by Mao Zedong was abundant in original material and local people’s language and characterized by the Hakka culture, including the local Hakka dialect and vernacular, social customs, foods and tools, and other aspects. This makes it difficult for non-Hakka Chinese to understand its contents, let alone English speakers who know nothing about Hakka. In attempting to make the translation smoothly understood by English speakers while not losing the Hakka flavor, American translator Roger Thompson has done a good job. By comparing Xunwu Diaocha (the original) with its English version Report from Xunwu translated by Roger R. Thompson, this paper analyzes the English expressions of the Hakka culture and discovers four translation strategies that the translator has adopted to achieve the goal of cultural representation. The strategies are Chinese Pinyin plus explanation, literal translation plus explanation, free translation plus Chinese Pinyin, and free translation plus explanation.

However, the suc- cess of PES depends on the desirability of programs targeting rural communities and smallholders. In this article, an agent-based sustainability perspective on PES was proposed and applied to exam- ine a PES case study of the Converting-Orchard-to-Forest (COF) project in Dongjiang Headwater Watershed (DHW). We used household interview-based information and associated secondary data to quantitatively assess the environmental consequences and livelihood impacts of the COF project. The findings show that: (1) the COF participants at the upstream suffered from substantial income loss due to decreased orchard area; (2) the participants’ chemical fertilizer and compound fertilizer consumption was larger than their nonparticipating counterparts; and (3) the COF participants and Citation: Xie, Z.; Zhou, B.-B.; Xu, H.; nonparticipants increased the material assets and reduced their fuelwood use and increased the Zhang, L.; Wang, J.

    Xia et al. Parasites & Vectors (2017) 10:136 DOI 10.1186/s13071-017-2059-y RESEARCH Open Access Village-based spatio-temporal cluster analysis of the schistosomiasis risk in the Poyang Lake Region, China Congcong Xia1,2,3,4, Robert Bergquist5, Henry Lynn1,2,3,4, Fei Hu6, Dandan Lin6, Yuwan Hao7, Shizhu Li7*, Yi Hu1,2,3,4* and Zhijie Zhang1,2,3,4* Abstract Background: The Poyang Lake Region, one of the major epidemic sites of schistosomiasis in China, remains a severe challenge. To improve our understanding of the current endemic status of schistosomiasis and to better control the transmission of the disease in the Poyang Lake Region, it is important to analyse the clustering pattern of schistosomiasis and detect the hotspots of transmission risk. Results: Based on annual surveillance data, at the village level in this region from 2009 to 2014, spatial and temporal cluster analyses were conducted to assess the pattern of schistosomiasis infection risk among humans through purely spatial(LocalMoran’s I, Kulldorff and Flexible scan statistic) and space-time scan statistics (Kulldorff). A dramatic decline was found in the infection rate during the study period, which was shown to be maintained at a low level. The number of spatial clusters declined over time and were concentrated in counties around Poyang Lake, including Yugan, Yongxiu, Nanchang, Xingzi, Xinjian, De’an as well as Pengze, situated along the Yangtze River and the most serious area found in this study. Space-time analysis revealed that the clustering time frame appeared between 2009 and 2011 and the most likely cluster with the widest range was particularly concentrated in Pengze County.

    Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China

    Country Report for the Preparation of the First Report on the State of the World’s Animal Genetic Resources Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China June 2003 Beijing CONTENTS Executive Summary Biological diversity is the basis for the existence and development of human society and has aroused the increasing great attention of international society. In June 1992, more than 150 countries including China had jointly signed the "Pact of Biological Diversity". Domestic animal genetic resources are an important component of biological diversity, precious resources formed through long-term evolution, and also the closest and most direct part of relation with human beings. Therefore, in order to realize a sustainable, stable and high-efficient animal production, it is of great significance to meet even higher demand for animal and poultry product varieties and quality by human society, strengthen conservation, and effective, rational and sustainable utilization of animal and poultry genetic resources. The "Report on Domestic Animal Genetic Resources in China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was compiled in accordance with the requirements of the "World Status of Animal Genetic Resource " compiled by the FAO. The Ministry of Agriculture" (MOA) has attached great importance to the compilation of the Report, organized nearly 20 experts from administrative, technical extension, research institutes and universities to participate in the compilation team. In 1999, the first meeting of the compilation staff members had been held in the National Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Service, discussed on the compilation outline and division of labor in the Report compilation, and smoothly fulfilled the tasks to each of the compilers.

Scholars such as Edwin Pullyblank (1984) and Jiang Jialu (2011) have briefly mentioned this development but have not yet thoroughly investigated it. There are approximately 26 Sino-Vietnamese words2 with Ying- initials that nasalize. Scholars such as John Phan (2013: 2016) and Hilario deSousa (2016) argue that Sino-Vietnamese in part comes from a spoken interaction between Việt-Mường and Chinese speakers in Annam speaking a variety of Chinese called Annamese Middle Chinese AMC, part of a larger dialect continuum called Southwestern Middle Chinese SMC. Phan and deSousa also claim that SMC developed into dialects spoken 1 I will use the terms “Sinitic” and “Chinese” interchangeably to refer to languages and speakers of the Sinitic branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family. 2 For the sake of simplicity, I shall refer to free and bound morphemes alike as “words.” 1 in Southwestern China today (Phan, Desousa: 2016). Using data of dialects mentioned by Phan and deSousa in their hypothesis, this study investigates initial nasalization in Ying-initial words in Southwestern Chinese Languages and in the 26 Sino-Vietnamese words.
