Received: 18 June 2020; Accepted: 25 July 2020; Published: 28 July 2020 Abstract: Land use/cover change (LUCC) and ecosystem service functions are current hot topics in global research on environmental change. A comprehensive analysis and understanding of the land use changes and ecosystem services, and the equilibrium state of the interaction between the natural environment and the social economy is crucial for the sustainable utilization of land resources. We used remote sensing image to research the LUCC, ecosystem service value (ESV), and ecological economic harmony (EEH) in eight main urban areas of Harbin in China from 1990 to 2015. The results show that, in the past 25 years, arable land—which is a part of ecological land—is the main source of construction land for urbanization, whereas the other ecological land is the main source of conversion to arable land.

  • Effect of Finger Pressing on Anti-Inflammatory Effect in Obese Rats with Insulin Resistance
    2021 International Conference on Biomedicine, Medical Services & Specialties (BMMSS 2021) Effect of Finger Pressing on Anti-Inflammatory Effect in Obese Rats with Insulin Resistance Shaotao Chen1, Lin JIANG2, Xiaolin Zhang1, Mingjun Liu1,* 1Changchun University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Changchun, Jilin 130117, China 2Balipu Community Health Service Center, Erdao District, Changchun, Jilin 130117, China *Corresponding Author Keywords: Finger pressure method, Insulin resistance, Obese rats Abstract: Objective: To observe the anti-inflammatory effect of finger pressure method on obese rats with insulin resistance and study its mechanism. Methods: 20 male SD rats aged 5-8 weeks were randomly divided into two groups: general diet plus finger pressure method group and high fat plus finger pressure method group. They were fed with high fat diet for 8 weeks. The success of modeling was judged by fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin level and glucose tolerance test. The model of insulin resistance induced by obesity was induced by high fat diet for 8 weeks in the high fat plus finger pressure method group and the general diet plus finger pressure method group. After the experiment, blood glucose, blood insulin, TG, TCH, LDL and FFA were measured, and the fat- body ratio around testis and kidney was measured by killing animals. Results: The body weight, Lee index and fat coefficient of obese rats were significantly increased by high fat diet. Aerobic exercise and polysaccharide intervention can decrease the above morphological indexes. After 4 weeks of hypoxic exercise, the rats lost weight (P < 0.05), impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance and insulin sensitivity. The basic finger pressure method intervention can alleviate the anti-inflammation and improve the insulin resistance of obese rats.

  • China's E-Tail Revolution: Online Shopping As a Catalyst for Growth
    McKinsey Global Institute McKinsey Global Institute China’s e-tail revolution: Online e-tail revolution: shoppingChina’s as a catalyst for growth March 2013 China’s e-tail revolution: Online shopping as a catalyst for growth The McKinsey Global Institute The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, was established in 1990 to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. Our goal is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth; natural resources; labor markets; the evolution of global financial markets; the economic impact of technology and innovation; and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed job creation, resource productivity, cities of the future, the economic impact of the Internet, and the future of manufacturing. MGI is led by two McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs and James Manyika. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, and Jaana Remes serve as MGI principals. Project teams are led by the MGI principals and a group of senior fellows, and include consultants from McKinsey & Company’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey & Company’s global network of partners and industry and management experts.
