Under the guidelines in OP4.10, the social consultant assessment team conducted field investigation in the project sites. The social assessment report comprises 7 chapters, in 2 parts: Part I: Project Fundamentals and Free, Prior, and Informed Consultation Chapter 1 Project background: project objectives/components/themes, purpose and principles of social assessment, site selecting and methodology of social assessment. Chapter 2 Baseline information of project sites: project beneficiaries, socioeconomic profiles, ethnic minorities composition and the related policies. It is identified that, according to OP4.10, most residents in project sites are Indigenous peoples. Chapter 3 Free, prior, and informed consultation: a summary of free, prior, and informed consultation in project stakeholders, problems found out in consultation process and proposed solutions, consultant methods and procedures of the social assessment consultant team, consultant processes in different project sites, and feedback from stakeholders. It is indicated that the proposed project has obtained broad community support and receive high expectancy from stakeholders in general. Part II: Project Analysis Chapter 4 Stakeholders analysis: project stakeholder identification, project beneficiaries’ demand analysis, and project stakeholders’ benefit analysis. Chapter 5 Impact analysis: categorized by project theme: villages, ancient towns, natural heritage and scenic sites, gateway towns, and capacity building. Analysis of different project components was to explore the general impact as well as specific impacts on particular sites. Meanwhile, the social risks are identified and analysis, In general, positive impacts overwhelmed adverse ones. Chapter 6 Suggestions and social action plans: suggestions for optimizing project design are presented, and furthermore, social action plans for the Cultural Heritage protection and Indigenous Peoples benefits are also prepared. Chapter 7 Assessment on the need of a separate IPP Special assessment has been conducted in project sites, according to the IPP requirements in OP4.10. It is concluded that a separate IPP is not needed.

  • Morphology and Developmental Traits of the Trilobite Changaspis Elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China
    Morphology and developmental traits of the trilobite Changaspis elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China GUANG-YING DU, JIN PENG, DE-ZHI WANG, QIU-JUN WANG, YI-FAN WANG, and HUI ZHANG Du, G.-Y., Peng, J., Wang, D.-Z., Wang, Q.-J., Wang, Y.-F., and Zhang, H. 2019. Morphology and developmental traits of the trilobite Changaspis elongata from the Cambrian Series 2 of Guizhou, South China. Acta Palaeontologica Polonica 64 (4): 797–813. The morphology and ontogeny of the trilobite Changaspis elongata based on 216 specimens collected from the Lazizhai section of the Balang Formation (Stage 4, Series 2 of the Cambrian) in Guizhou Province, South China are described. The relatively continuous ontogenetic series reveals morphological changes, and shows that the species has seventeen thoracic segments in the holaspid period, instead of the sixteen as previously suggested. The development of the pygid- ial segments shows that their number gradually decreases during ontogeny. A new dataset of well-preserved specimens offers a unique opportunity to investigate developmental traits after segment addition is completed. The ontogenetic size progressions for the lengths of cephalon and trunk show overall compliance with Dyar’s rule. As a result of different average growth rates for the lengths of cephalon, trunk and pygidium, the length of the thorax relative to the body shows a gradually increasing trend; however, the cephalon and pygidium follow the opposite trend. Morphometric analysis across fourteen post-embryonic stages reveals growth gradients with increasing values for each thoracic segment from anterior to posterior. The reconstruction of the development traits shows visualization of the changes in relative growth and segmentation for the different body parts.

  • Zhang Yimou and Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles
    ASIANetwork Exchange | fall 2012 | volume 20 |1 Chinese Culture on the Global Stage: Zhang Yimou and Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles Wendy Larson Abstract: As opposed to Zhang Yimou’s 张艺谋 much-criticized film Hero《英 雄》(2002), which addresses the relationship between culture and political power, Riding Alone for Thousands of Miles《千里走单骑》 (2005) asks the question of whether, under the conditions of globalization, any performance between cultures can contain truth value, be authentic, or represent something real. Although a key scene acted by Japanese star Ken Takakura effectively expresses his true despair and thus seems to indicate a positive response, Zhang Yimou persistently inserts into the film queries about the validity of performance across cultural and linguistic borders, and the complex trail of conflicting desires that motivate it. Riding Alone is one example of Zhang’s complex filmic investigation into the relationship between culture and political power under the developing conditions of a border-crossing global world. Keywords China; film; Zhang Yimou; nationalism In his early career, Zhang Yimou’s films—Red Sorghum 《红高粱》(1987), Judou Wendy Larson is Professor of 《菊豆》(1990), and Raise High the Red Lantern 《大红灯笼高高挂》(1991) - posi- Modern Chinese Literature and tioned him as an influential interlocutor, launching Chinese cinema onto the global screen Film at the University Oregon and Vice Provost of Portland and capturing the attention of a world audience, especially those watching from the West.

Forty mineral elements in 87 tea samples from three growing regions in Guizhou Province (China), namely Meitan and Fenggang (MTFG), Anshun (AS) and Leishan (LS) were analyzed. Chemometrics evaluations were conducted using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA), and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA). The results showed that the concentrations of the 28 elements were significantly different among the three regions (p < 0.05). The correct classification rates for the 87 tea samples were 98.9% for LDA and 100% for OPLS-DA. The variable importance in the projection (VIP) values ranged between 1.01–1.73 for 11 elements (Sb, Pb, K, As, S, Bi, U, P, Ca, Na, and Cr), which can be used as important indicators for geographical origin identification of tea samples.

  • Encountering Miao Shamanism
    EPILOGUE: “GHOST MASTER” AT LANGDE: ENCOUNTERING MIAO SHAMANISM The previous chapters have examined the construction of the national- ist ideology in modern China, the research and investigation of southern Chinese minority nationalities, the concerned intellectual debates and polit- ical tensions, as well as the public representation of minority culture. In the epilogue, I will shift my focus to the village-level minority communal life and power relations to illustrate the continuity of shamanism in China and the symbiotic relationship between the shamanistic authority and political power. The main players here are the retired CCP Party secretary of a Miao I want to point out that the use of the terms “shaman” and “shamanism” is due to the convenience of understanding and the fact that Langde “ghost master” (guishi in Han Chinese) share the functional roles as the shaman in Manchuria and northeast Asia of being spiritual medium and communicator to the dead. Yet there are also two differences: one is linguistic, the word “shaman” has very probable Tungstic origin, and the other is gender. While North Asian shamans have traditional women, at Langde, the Miao ghost masters are usually men, and other ethnographic accounts about southern Chinese minority groups depict male shamans more than female shamans.
