According to the progress of the implementation of the project, the scope of the 2nd external resettlement monitoring and evaluation report mainly covers the subprojects in: (1) Tongxin County, Wuzhong City; (2) Haiyuan County, Zhongwei City; (3) Yuanzhou District, Guyuan City; (4) Xiji County, Guyuan City; (5) Pengyang County, Guyuan City; (6) Jingyuan County, Guyuan City; (7) Longde County, Guyuan City. A total of 7 rural trunk roads and 2 rural feeder roads (see details in table 1-3) are monitored in this report with a monitoring period from February 2018 to the end of December 2018. 2. This resettlement M&E report aims to monitor and report the resettlement implementation progresses and performance of the aforementioned rural trunk and feeder roads in 7 project counties and district as of 31 December 2018, including changes of LAR impacts, project and resettlement implementation progress, compensation compliance, implementation of livelihood restoration and resettlement measures, institutional capacity-building, complaints and appeals redress, satisfaction levels of affected people, etc. 3. The monitoring methods include literature review and key informers interviews, etc. E2. Changes of LAR Impacts and RPs Updating 4. As the project is still in the stage of design and bidding preparation, detailed measurement survey (DMS) hasn’t been carried out by 31 December 2018. Therefore, RPs have not been updated and the LAR impacts have no changes. E3. LAR Progress and Implementation Monitoring 5. Because the project, as a whole, has not started resettlement implementation and construction of civil works, the resettlement activities of all the 7 rural trunk roads and 1 rural feeder road in Jingyuan County have not been carried out yet. The rest one feeder road in Longde County which has been completed the construction in 2017 only involved relocation of some ground attachments, e.g. trees, electric power poles, and cables. It was reported by Longde PMO that these ground attachments had been relocated in 2017 by responsible local government departments and/or public corporations, e.g. Forest Bureau and Power Supply Company, without needs for special compensation from PMO. E4. Readiness and Disbursement of Resettlement Funds 6. Since all the 7 trunk roads and 1 feeder road in Jingyuan have not started resettlement implementation, their resettlement funds have not been disbursed and paid for the time being. The district and county PMOs are stepping up the raising of the counterpart funds needed for the resettlement implementation. E5. Information Disclosure, Pubic Consultation and Grievance Redress 7. The project has carried out extensive information publicity and public consultation in the project preparation stage. To ensure project information is fully public during the phase of project and resettlement implementation, the local transportation bureaus and PMOs will further disclose all kinds of information of the project to the affected persons in a timely and complete manner through various means, such as announcements, newspapers, television news, and the Internet, etc. 8. Channels of GRM are open and smooth, and affected people know that when their rights are violated, there are channels for redress. No complaints or appeals have yet been received. E6. Main Conclusions I 9. (i) Updating of RPs: as of 31 December 2018, the project has not carried out detailed measurement surveys (DMSs) of LAR impacts, nor have the original RPs been updated accordingly. 10. (ii) Project and resettlement implementation progress: as of 31 December 2018, all the 7 trunk roads and 1 feeder road in Jingyuan are still in the preparatory stage of design and bidding, and have not yet started the construction of civil works. Land acquisition and resettlement activities have not been carried out. 11. (iii) Project implementing institutions and capacity-building: the responsibilities and tasks of relevant institutions at all levels are clear, however the personnel and working facilities are not fully equipped, and the preparatory and management works for the project need to be strengthened. The staff need to be trained continuously with relevant policies and procedures of resettlement implementation. 12. (iv) Project implementation consulting firm: In September 2018, HJI team was recruited by Ningxia PMO as the project implementation consulting (PIC) firm. PIC resettlement expert should be mobilized as early as possible to guide and assist the resettlement implementation and management of the project. 13. (v) Grievance Redress Mechanism: the channels for complaints and appeals are open and smooth, and no complaints have been received to date. E7. Main Recommendations 14. (i) District/county PMOs should, on the basis of preliminary design, appoint professional institution or resettlement specialists to carry out detailed measurement survey (DMS) of the LAR impacts of their subproject, and update the original RPs in a timely manner. The updated RPs should be submitted to ADB for review and approval as early as possible. 15. (ii) The resettlement specialist of PIC team should be mobilized in the fields in a timely manner, conduct relevant trainings for the staff of project management and resettlement implementation agencies at all levels, and provide close technical guidance and assistance on RP updating and implementing. 16. (iii) According to the overall schedule, the progress of project preparation should be speeded up. PMOs need to push forward the project and resettlement implementation works, to ensure the project can be implemented and completed as scheduled. 17. (iv) The district/county PMOs should raise the counterpart funds in time and ensure that land acquisition and resettlement expenses can be paid to affected rural collectives and households in full and on time. 18. (v) The district/county PMOs need to coordinate with relevant government departments as soon as possible to handle the land acquisition approval, land acquisition announcements and other relevant procedures, according to the relevant laws, regulations and policies of PRC. And PMOs need to organize and implement land acquisition, house demolition and compensation and resettlement activities strictly following the updated RPs approved by the ADB. 19. (vi) PMOs need to carry out trainings for the staff of both the project implementing agencies and resettlement implementing agencies, in order to strengthen the institutional and personnel capacity for project and resettlement implementation, and improve internal monitoring and reporting system. 20. (vii) PMOs need to strengthen the file management during the resettlement implementation to ensure the timely collection, sorting and archiving of relevant information, such as LAR impacts, compensation and resettlement records, etc. II Table of Contents Executive Summary ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙ I 1 Brief Introduction of the Project and Resettlement External M&E ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙ 1 1.1 Project background ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙ 1 1.2 Construction Contents and Scales ∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙

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.

In the study, groundwater qualities in Jingyuan County, in Ningxia, China were assessed with entropy weighted water quality index method. In the assessment, 12 hydrochemical parameters including chloride, sulphate, sodium, iron, pH, total dissolved solid (TDS), total hardness (TH), nitrate, ammonia, nitrogen, fluoride, iodine and nitrite were selected. The assessment results show that the concentrations of iodine, TH, iron and TDS are the most influencing parameters affecting the groundwater quality. The assessment results are rational and are in consistency with the results of filed investigation of which both indicates the groundwater in Jingyuan County is fit for drinking. Keywords : Water quality index, Groundwater quality assessment, Entropy weight, Jingyuan County Introduction Due to the non-availability of surface water, groundwater has become a major source for drinking purpose in many parts of the world. Jingyuan County, situated in the inland of China, mainly sources from groundwater and groundwater quality affects people’s health significantly. During the last few decades, the demand for groundwater has been increasing because of the rapid development of urbanization and rapid growth of population.

    Online Supplementary Document Song et al. Causes of death in children younger than five years in China in 2015: an updated analysis J Glob Health 2016;6:020802 Table S1. Description of the sources of mortality data in China National Mortality Surveillance System Before 2013, the Chinese CRVS included two systems: the vital registration system of the Chinese National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) (the former Ministry of Health) and the sample-based disease surveillance points (DSP) system of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The vital registration system was established in 1973 and started to collect data of vital events. By 2012, this system covered around 230 million people in 22 provinces, helping to provide valuable information on both mortality and COD patterns, although the data were not truly representative for the whole China [55]. DSP was established in 1978 to collect data on individual births, deaths and 35 notifiable infectious diseases in surveillance areas [56]. By 2004, there were 161 sites included in the surveillance system, covering 73 million persons in 31 provinces. The sites were selected from different areas based on a multistage cluster sampling method, leading to a very good national representativeness of the DSP [57, 58]. From 2013, the above two systems were merged together to generate a new “National Mortality Surveillance System” (NMSS), which currently covers 605 surveillance points in 31 provinces and 24% of the whole Chinese population. The selection of surveillance points was based on a national multistage cluster sampling method, after stratifying for different socioeconomic status to ensure the representativeness [17, 58].

Methods Using hospital records and “AE-risk” landscape patterns we selected study communities predicted to be at risk of human echinococcosis in Guyuan, Longde and Xiji counties. We conducted community surveys of 4773 individuals from 26 villages in 2002 and 2003 using questionnaire analysis, ultrasound examination and serology. Findings Ultrasound and serology showed a range of prevalences for AE (0–8.1%; mean 2%) and CE (0–7.4%; mean 1.6%), with the highest prevalence in Xiji (2% for CE, 2.5% for AE). There were significant differences in the prevalence of CE, AE and total echinococcosis between the three counties and villages (with multiple degrees of freedom). While hospital records showed 96% of echinococcosis cases attributable to CE, our survey showed a higher prevalence of human AE (56%) compared to CE (44%).

  • Spatial Distribution of Endemic Fluorosis Caused by Drinking Water in a High-Fluorine Area in Ningxia, China
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-020-08451-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Spatial distribution of endemic fluorosis caused by drinking water in a high-fluorine area in Ningxia, China Mingji Li1 & Xiangning Qu2 & Hong Miao1 & Shengjin Wen1 & Zhaoyang Hua1 & Zhenghu Ma2 & Zhirun He2 Received: 29 November 2019 /Accepted: 16 March 2020 # Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2020 Abstract Endemic fluorosis is widespread in China, especially in the arid and semi-arid areas of northwest China, where endemic fluorosis caused by consumption of drinking water high in fluorine content is very common. We analyzed data on endemic fluorosis collected in Ningxia, a typical high-fluorine area in the north of China. Fluorosis cases were identified in 539 villages in 1981, in 4449 villages in 2010, and in 3269 villages in 2017. These were located in 19 administrative counties. In 2017, a total of 1.07 million individuals suffered from fluorosis in Ningxia, with more children suffering from dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis. Among Qingshuihe River basin disease areas, the high incidence of endemic fluorosis is in Yuanzhou District and Xiji County of Guyuan City. The paper holds that the genesis of the high incidence of endemic fluorosis in Qingshui River basin is mainly caused by chemical weathering, evaporation and concentration, and dissolution of fluorine-containing rocks around the basin, which is also closely related to the semi-arid geographical region background, basin structure, groundwater chemical character- istics, and climatic conditions of the basin. The process of mutual recharge and transformation between Qingshui River and shallow groundwater in the basin is intense.

  • The Empire of Western Xia and the Tangut Economy
    chapter 1 The Empire of Western Xia and the Tangut Economy Contemporary to the Song Empire, a dynastic regime of mighty power and lasting influence emerged in what is today the northwest of China. The inhab- itants of the land named their regime the ‘Great Xia Kingdom White and High,’ or simply the Kingdom of Great Xia. And since it was located to the west of the Song, it is by convention referred to in the Chinese historiographical tradition as Western Xia (1038–1227 AD). The imperial dynasty was ruled by a total of ten emperors, spanning a history of 190 years. The Tanguts stood off against the Northern Song and Khitan Liao in its early history, and later against Southern Song and Jurchen Jin. In each of the two ‘three-kingdom’ periods, it constituted a major force and played a critical role in a delicate balance of power in medi- eval China. Further adding to the complexity of imperial diplomacies in this period was the presence of the Uyghurs, Tibetans, and other ethnic groups with overlapping territories, mutual goals, and conflicting interests. The majority of the population in Western Xia was the prominent Tangut tribe of Dangxiang Qiang. During their rule, the Tanguts excelled in military power, steered a large economy, and prospered in all aspects of cultural life. Although the Tanguts built an empire not inferior to the Song, Liao, and Jin Dynasties, imperial historians of the Yuan Dynasty left the history of Xixia unchronicled. As a result, unlike the History of Song, History of Liao, and History of Jin, the vast number of Tangut historical records have not survived in the form of imperial chronicles.

  • Differential Analysis of the Efficiency of Fixed Assets Investment in The
    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 375 2nd International Symposium on Social Science and Management Innovation (SSMI 2019) Differential Analysis of the Efficiency of Fixed Assets Investment in the Primary Industry in Ningxia Province Zilie Muheyat International Business School, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an 710119, China. [email protected] Abstract. This paper selects data from 18 counties in Ningxia province from 2003 to 2017, and uses the incremental capital-output ratio to measure the efficiency of fixed asset investment in the primary industry. Then we analyze the differences between poor and non-poor counties from the time and cross-section. The results show that from 2003 to 2017, the efficiency of fixed asset investment in the primary industry in Ningxia was significantly different between poor and non-poor counties, and poor counties was lower than non-poor counties. Therefore, there is great potential for improving the efficiency of fixed asset investment in the primary industries of poor counties. Keywords: Fixed Asset Investment in the Primary Industry; Investment Efficiency; ICOR. 1. Introduction Increasing the income of the primary industry and improving the efficiency of the primary industry are important measures to increase the comprehensive production capacity of the primary industry and maintain the coordinated and stable development of the primary industry. And it is the main driving force for the economic growth of the primary industry. The input of the primary industry includes capital, labor, technology, and management level. The investment of the primary industry includes fixed asset investment, and fixed asset investment is important material basis to change the production conditions of the primary industry, improve the comprehensive production capacity, and achieve stable development of the primary industry.
