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).

  • Conflict Minerals Report for 2019, We Have Completed Our Analysis of The
    Conflict Minerals Report For 2019, we have completed our analysis of the suppliers for Amazon electronic devices, fashion and apparel, and other consumer products that fall within the scope of the applicable rules (collectively, in-scope products). A majority of these suppliers certified that they: did not use gold, tin, tungsten, or tantalum in parts or components for our in-scope products; did not source these minerals from the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country, referred to as the DRC region; or sourced these minerals from a smelter or refiner that complies with a responsible mineral sourcing validation program such as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process. The remaining suppliers are still completing investigations of their supply chains. As discussed in the Conclusion, for 2019, we identified no suppliers that were sourcing minerals through a supply chain that benefitted armed groups in the DRC region. Pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s conflict minerals rules, we designed our due diligence on the source and chain of custody of the gold, tin, tungsten, and tantalum in our in-scope products in accordance with the OECD’s Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas Third Edition, and the related Supplements on Tin, Tantalum and Tungsten and on Gold. We undertook the steps described below as part of our due diligence process: Establish strong company management systems We are committed to avoiding the use of minerals that have fueled conflict, and we expect our suppliers to support our efforts to identify the origin of gold, tin, tungsten, and tantalum used in products that we manufacture or contract to manufacture.

  • Fiscal Reform and Land Public Finance: Zouping County In
    Fiscal Reform and Land Public 7 Finance: Zouping County in National Context h SUSAN H. WHITING and has become a key source of fi scal revenue for local governments in China. LAs the value of land has increased with urbanization and economic development, local governments have sought to exploit their control over land in order to gener- ate both on- and off - budget revenue. Scholars and policy makers have come to refer to this phenomenon as “land public fi nance.” Th is chapter argues that land public fi nance is in large part an outgrowth of trends in central- local fi scal relations. During the course of China’s transition from a planned to a market economy, central- local fi scal relations have undergone a series of fundamental reforms. Cur- rent challenges grow out of a number of features of the Chinese po liti cal economy, the most important of which is the mismatch between the allocation of revenues and the assignment of expenditure responsibilities across levels of government. Local governments— county governments in particular— oft en lack adequate rev- enues within the formal fi scal system to fi nance the wide range of public goods and ser vices they are mandated by higher levels to provide. Th e mismatch between revenues and expenditure responsibilities leads to heavy reliance on intergovern- mental fi scal transfers that, nonetheless, have not yet eff ectively redressed revenue inadequacy or the high levels of in e qual ity that have emerged in the context of economic reform. Th is fi scal gap drives additional problems, including the growth of hidden government debts and off - budget funds at the local level.
