Status of the Resettlement Plan The Tongxin to Yanchuanzi Expressway with a total length of 182 km is part of the main trunk road towards the west part of the country, from Fuzhou City to Yinchuan City (Ningxia). Part of sections of Yin-Fu Road will also connect with other key national key trunk roads, including Qingdao to Hongqilapu, and Shanghai to Wuwei. The Resettlement Plan for the whole Tongxin to Yanchuanzi Expressway was finished in November 2002. According to the new planning of Ningxia Government, an important reservoir for the southern part of Ningxia will be located in the current alignment area of the Expressway section to be constructed. The road section with the total length of 12.72 km within Shizi-Yanchuanzi Section will be realigned. This supplementary resettlement plan is prepared for the proposed realigned section. The section starts from Maxipo Village, Jingyuan County (K191+843.66), and ends at Baijia Village, Jingyuan County (K202+571.972). The length of the realigned section is 10.73 km, which is 1.99 km shorter than the original length. B. Scope of Land Acquisition and Resettlement The Project will have land acquisition and resettlement impacts on 1 county, 2 townships, and 2 administrative villages. 730.82 mu of land will be permanently acquired by the Project, including 88.44% cultivated land (all is dry land). A total of 77 households will be affected. During construction period, 389.84 mu land areas will be occupied temporarily. A total of 1285.5 square meters of houses will be demolished, including 76.3% of brick wood structure, and 23.7% of brick earth wood structures. The demolition will cause relocation of 10 households, averaging 88.81 square meters per household. In total, 77 households will be affected by land acquisition and house demolition. C. Policy Framework and Entitlements For people unavoidably affected, the resettlement objective is to achieve equal or better income and living standards in line with the PRC Land Administration Law (1998), State Council Document No. 28, and the ADB’s Policy on Involuntary Resettlement. According to the policy and basic socioeconomic conditions of project county, land compensation standards have been established based on 14 times the average annual output value (AAOV). The compensation rate for the only affected type of farmland – dry land will be CNY 2500 per mu. Those people losing land temporarily during construction will receive a payment equivalent to production value foregone for the period of loss, which is expected to be 2 years.

Most studies mainly focus on changes of ecological vulnerability concerning the temporal trend, but rarely take arid and semi-arid areas into consideration to explore the spatial heterogeneity of the ecological vulnerability index (EVI) there. In this study, we selected the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region on the Loess Plateau of China, a typical arid and semi-arid area, as a case to investigate the spatial heterogeneity of the EVI every five years, from 1990 to 2015. Based on remote sensing data, meteorological data, and economic statistical data, this study first evaluated the temporal-spatial change of ecological vulnerability in the study area by Geo-information Tupu. Further, we explored the spatial heterogeneity of the ecological vulnerability using Getis-Ord Gi*. Results show that: (1) the regions with high ecological vulnerability are mainly concentrated in the north of the study area, which has high levels of economic growth, while the regions with low ecological vulnerability are mainly distributed in the relatively poor regions in the south of the study area.

Key Laboratory (China-Arab) of Resource Evaluation and Environmental Regulation of Arid Region in Ningxia, Yinchuan 750021, China; 3. School of Tourism and Environment, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an 710062, China) Abstract: Ecological migration is the process of increasing the population density in the immigration area and transferring the ecologi- cal pressure from emigration area to immigration area. This process may result in significant changes in land use and land cover in the area of immigration and have an important effect on ecosystem services. Therefore, scientifically revealing the effects and differentia- tion mechanisms of ecological migration on ecosystem services is becoming an important issue related to the implementation of the national ecological migration strategy in China. This study employed the Hongsibu District as a typical example of ecological migration. Hongsibu District is located in the central Ningxia steppe and desert steppe areas. Remote sensing data covering five periods from the period before ecological migration in 1995 and after migration in 2000, 2005, 2010, and 2015 was used to measure the value of ecosys- tem services (ESV). A geographical detector model and the value of ecosystem services model were used to diagnose the dynamic mechanism of the effects of land use change on ecosystem services.

  • The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics
    Li, China Leadership Monitor No.4 The Mishu Phenomenon: Patron-Client Ties and Coalition-Building Tactics Cheng Li China’s ongoing political succession has been filled with paradoxes. Jockeying for power among various factions has been fervent and protracted, but the power struggle has not led to a systemic crisis as it did during the reigns of Mao and Deng. While nepotism and favoritism in elite recruitment have become prevalent, educational credentials and technical expertise are also essential. Regional representation has gained importance in the selection of Central Committee members, but leaders who come from coastal regions will likely dominate the new Politburo. Regulations such as term limits and an age requirement for retirement have been implemented at various levels of the Chinese leadership, but these rules and norms will perhaps not restrain the power of Jiang Zemin, the 76-year-old “new paramount leader.” While the military’s influence on political succession has declined during the past decade, the Central Military Commission is still very powerful. Not surprisingly, these paradoxical developments have led students of Chinese politics to reach contrasting assessments of the nature of this political succession, the competence of the new leadership, and the implications of these factors for China’s future. This diversity of views is particularly evident regarding the ubiquitous role of mishu in the Chinese leadership. The term mishu, which literally means “secretary” in Chinese, refers to a range of people who differ significantly from each other in terms of the functions they fulfill, the leadership bodies they serve, and the responsibilities given to them.

  • Occurrence of Trichophyton Verrucosum in Cattle in the Ningxia
    Guo et al. BMC Veterinary Research (2020) 16:187 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-020-02403-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Occurrence of Trichophyton verrucosum in cattle in the Ningxia Hui autonomous region, China Yanan Guo1, Song Ge1, Haifeng Luo1, Atif Rehman1, Yong Li2 and Shenghu He1* Abstract Background: Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region is an important cattle breeding area in China, and cattle breeding bases are located in this area. In Ningxia, dermatophytes have not been paid attention to, so dermatophytosis is becoming more and more serious. For effective control measures, it is important to determine the disease prevalence and isolate and identify the pathogenic microorganism. Results: The study showed the prevalence of dermatophytes was 15.35% (74/482). The prevalence in calf was higher than adult cattle (p < 0.05). The morbidity was the highest in winter compared with autumn (p < 0.0001), summer (p < 0.05) and spring (p < 0.0001). The prevalence in Guyuan was the highest compared with Yinchuan (p < 0.05) and Shizuishan (p < 0.05). The incidence of lesions on the face, head, neck, trunk and whole body was 20.43, 38.71, 20.43, 10.75 and 9.68%, respectively. From all samples, the isolation rate of Trichophyton was highest (61.1%). The phylogenetic tree constructed showed that the 11 pathogenic fungi were on the same branch as Trichophyton verrucosum. Conclusions: This study reports, for the first time, the presence of Trichophyton verrucosum in cattle in Ningxia and showed that the incidence of dermatophytosis is related to different regions, ages and seasons.

This profile crosses the northern Songpan-Ganzi terrane, the Qinling-Qilian fold system, the Haiyuan arcuate tectonic region, and the stable Ordos basin. The P-wave and S-wave velocity structure and Poisson's ratios reveal many significant characteristics in the profile. The crustal thickness increases from northeast to southwest. The average crustal thickness observed increases from 42 km in the Ordos basin to 63 km in the Songpan-Ganzi terrane. The crust becomes obviously thicker south of the Haiyuan fault and beneath the West-Qinlin Shan. The crustal velocities have significant variations along the profile. The average P-wave velocities for the crystalline crust vary between 6.3 and 6.4 km/s. Beneath the Songpan-Ganzi terrane, West-Qinling Shan, and Haiyuan arcuate tectonic region P-wave velocities of 6.3 km/s are 0.15 km/s lower than the worldwide average of 6.45 km/s.
