  • Introduction Shandong Qingdao and Yantai.Pdf
    About Shandong Shandong province is located on the east coast of China covering a land area of 157,000 km2, with a population of 98 million. The land area is almost 4 times larger than the Netherlands and the population is a bit more than that of Germany. It is the second most populous province and third economic power in terms of GDP output after Guangdong and Jiangsu. Shandong shows specifically strengths in agricultural production, manufacturing, energy, chemical and pharmaceutical industries and ICT. Shandong is in a good position geographically; enjoying a 3,000-kilometer coastline which is 1/6 of country’s total and has a favorable location in between Beijing and Shanghai. It is a rich province with oil fields, gold deposits and other natural resources. The business culture of Shandong is less westernized than in, for example, Shanghai and therefore Dutch government support for Dutch companies interested in doing business in Shandong could be an important stepping stone to develop contacts and navigate local regulations. Opportunities in Shandong include, but are not limited to: sustainable development, planning, and design, restructuring inefficient industries, supporting Chinese companies go global, modernizing the agro-food, life sciences and elderly care sectors. About Qingdao & Yantai Qingdao is the economic center of Shandong province, and one of first open coastal cities in China.

We aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and associated medical costs of CT among residents, 18–49 years of age, in Shandong, China. Methods: From May to August 2016, a multistage probability sampling survey involving 8074 individuals was distributed. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews, followed by self-administered questionnaire surveys. First-void urines were collected and tested for CT and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) using nucleic acid amplification. Results: The weighted prevalence of CT infection was 2.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5–3.2) in females and 2.7% (1. 6–3.8) in males. Women, 30–34 years of age, had the highest prevalence of CT infections (3.5%, 2.6–4.4), while the highest prevalence of CT infections in males was in those 18–24 years of age (4.3%, 0.0–8.8).

  • List 3. Headings That Need to Be Changed from the Machine- Converted Form
    LIST 3. HEADINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE MACHINE- CONVERTED FORM The data dictionary for the machine conversion of subject headings was prepared in summer 2000 based on the systematic romanization of Wade-Giles terms in existing subject headings identified as eligible for conversion before detailed examination of the headings could take place. When investigation of each heading was subsequently undertaken, it was discovered that some headings needed to be revised to forms that differed from the forms that had been given in the data dictionary. This occurred most frequently when older headings no longer conformed to current policy, or in the case of geographic headings, when conflicts were discovered using current geographic reference sources, for example, the listing of more than one river or mountain by the same name in China. Approximately 14% of the subject headings in the pinyin conversion project were revised differently than their machine- converted forms. To aid in bibliographic file maintenance, the following list of those headings is provided. In subject authority records for the revised headings, Used For references (4XX) coded Anne@ in the $w control subfield for earlier form of heading have been supplied for the data dictionary forms as well as the original forms of the headings. For example, when you see: Chien yao ware/ converted to Jian yao ware/ needs to be manually changed to Jian ware It means: The subject heading Chien yao ware was converted to Jian yao ware by the conversion program; however, that heading now

The NAPCC TA will undertake studies in three selected pilot sub-basins to develop strategic frameworks for addressing existing issues and likely scenarios of climate change. Framework planning would be applied to identify key issues, including surface, groundwater as well as the related water sectors including environment. The plans would set out broad strategies and programs to meet the needs of increased robustness and resilience of water systems against climate uncertainty, increasing water demand and environmental requirements. The pilot basins have been selected based on the type and likely degree of sensitivity to climate change. The basin selection should incorporate three major areas of concern: (i) alterations of winter snow-pack dynamics from climate change, (ii) basins or sub- basins where groundwater is major water source with issues and (iii) coastal areas where sea level rise will have impacts on surface and groundwater, together with increased flood risk. 2.

  • Meihuaquan E Shaolinquan, Intrecci Leggendari
    Questo articolo è un estratto del libro “ Il Meihuaquan: una ricerca da Chang Dsu Yao alle origini ” di Storti Enrico e altri Presentazione: Oggi questo testo rimane la testimonianza di un indagine che nuovi studi rendono un po’ datata. In particolare sempre più evidente è anche l’intreccio del Meihuaquan con la religione Buddista oltre che con quella Taoista e con il Confucianesimo. Resta invece mitologico il legame con il Tempio Shaolin ed il relativo pugilato. Rimangono comunque tanti altri interessanti spunti di riflessione. Meihuaquan e Shaolinquan, intrecci leggendari Classica foto sotto l’ingresso del tempio Shaolin Nei libri che parlano di Meihuaquan 梅花拳 emerge chiaramente il legame tra la Boxe del Fiore di Prugno ed il Taoismo ortodosso, sia perché se ne riconduce l’origine al Kunlun Pai 1, una scuola Taoista, sia perché membri importanti del Meihuaquan sono stati anche membri di sette quali Longmen 2 o Quanzhen , ma, cosa 1昆仑派 Scuola Kunlun 2 Han Jianzhong 韩建中, Meihuazhuang Quan ji Meihuazhuang Quan Daibiao Renwu 梅花桩拳及梅花桩拳代表人物 (La Scuola di Pugilato dei Pali del fiore di prugno e le figure rappresentative di questa scuola), articolo apparso nel numero 05 del 2007 della rivista Zhonghua Wushu 中华武术: 梅花桩拳传承的一百个字与道教传承的一百个字基本相同,梅花桩拳理中的天人合一、顺其自然等等,均说明 梅花桩拳与道教文化有着密切的联系,所以梅花桩拳中又流传有僧门道派和龙门道派等众多说法。 più importante, la teoria di questo stile si rifà alla filosofia Taoista. Quali sono allora i collegamenti con lo Shaolin Pai 少林派 (scuola Shaolin) visto che qualcuno fa risalire il Meihuaquan a questa scuola? E’ il Meihuaquan uno stile Shaolin?
