Received: 30 December 2017; Accepted: 23 February 2018; Published: 26 February 2018 Abstract: Degradation of semi-arid and arid ecosystems due to desertification is arguably one of the main obstacles for sustainability in those regions. In recent decades, the Mu Us Desert in China has experienced such ecological degradation making quantification of spatial patterns of desertification in this area an important research topic. We analyzed desertification dynamics for seven periods from 1986 to 2015 and focused on five ecosystem services including soil conservation, water retention, net primary productivity (NPP), crop productivity, and livestock productivity, all assessed for 2015. Furthermore, we examined how ecosystem services relate to each other and are impacted by desertification.

  • Dialogue Issue 4
    Newsletter of The Dui Hua Foundation THE DUI HUA DD II AA LL OO GG UU EE FOUNDATION Summer 2001/Issue 4 Despite Chill in U.S.-China Relations, Unofficial Dialogue on Rights Forges Ahead 中 Dialogue between China and the United States on human rights, be it official or un- official, has always been affected by the overall political climate between the two countries. The last official session of the US-China dialogue took place in January 1999, and was suspended by the Chinese government in response to the bombing of the Chinese Embassy by NATO warplanes in May, 1999. The official dialogue has, as this issue of Dialogue comes out, yet to be resumed, though there are signs that preliminary talks on what a new dialogue on human rights would look like and what it might realistically achieve are underway between the two governments. 美 The Dui Hua Foundation’s unofficial dialogue with the Chinese government on national security prisoners has often been knocked off course by the twists and turns of relations between Beijing and Washington. Given the bad start to US-China relations during the first three months of President Bush’s tenure, it was widely expected that cooperation between the foundation and its Chinese interlocutors would once again be curtailed. 对 In the event, the unofficial dialogue went forward. During the first five months of the new administration, Dui Hua’s Executive Director John Kamm made two visits to Beijing at the invitation of the Chinese government (March 4-8 and June 10-14, 2001).

As existing achievements have certain deficiencies in data preprocessing, technical methods and research scales, we correct the incomplete data pre-processing and low verification accuracy; use grey relational analysis (GRA) to study the response of Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) in the growing season to climate factors on the pixel scale; explore the factors that affect the response speed and response degree from multiple perspectives, including vegetation type, longitude, latitude, elevation and local climate type; and solve the problems of excessive ignorance of details and severe distortion of response results due to using average values of the wide area or statistical data. The results show the following.

    Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 185 Proceedings of the 1st International Symposium on Innovative Management and Economics (ISIME 2021) Research on the Tourist Behavior Characteristics of Folk Belief Cultural Tourism Taking the Ancestor Temple of the Lords of the Three Mountains, Jiexi, as an Example Yuanyuan Zhang1,* Huiwen Zhang2 1 Department of Resources and the Urban Planning, Guangzhou Xinhua University, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510520, China 2 College of Teacher Education, Shanxi Normal University, Linfen, Shanxi 041000, China *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Through interviews and questionnaire surveys of cultural tourists in the Ancestor Temple of the Lords of the Three Mountains, Jiexi, this article analyzes the characteristics of tourist behavior characteristics of local folk belief cultural tourism from three aspects: tourist demographic characteristics, tourist behavior characteristics and post-tour satisfaction. Researches show that: (1) The source of tourists and their perception of tourist destinations are significantly affected by regions, showing the obvious characteristic of family intergenerational inheritance. The occupation of tourists is mainly business with family trips in form mostly, and the purpose of their trips is mostly to pray for blessings; (2) Local tourists have a significantly higher awareness of scenic spots. Due to family influence and personal beliefs, it is easier for them to form the habit of regular visits, which is even regarded as an important ceremony for family communication and entrusting good wishes. They are also often full of strong emotions for scenic spots, so they have a high revisit rate and a strong willingness to recommend these scenic spots. Tourists from other places get more relevant information from the Internet, and their awareness is low.

    VIII JAPANESE INTERVENTION AND THE MONGOLIAN ARMY GENERAL HEADQUARTERS JANUARY - MAY 1936 The Early Activities of Japanese Agents and the General Headquarters September 18, 1931, the date of the “Manchurian Incident,” represented the overt renewal of Japanese expansion on the Asian continent. Because of the changing world situation. Inner Mongolia could not entirely control its own destiny. Prince De and other Mongolian leaders could only seek out a way for the weak Inner Mongolia to con­ tinue its national existence in the face of the mad tide of worldwide disturbances. Parallel to the changing situation in northern China, Japanese advances into Inner Mongolia fol­ lowed one after another. Except for the Ordos, Alashan, and Ejine areas, all Inner Mon­ golia was swallowed up by Japanese armies. Faced with this overwhelming force. Prince De and the other leaders working together with him exerted themselves to the utmost in their struggle to maintain the existence of the Mongol people. Differences in political orientation and ideology have led different people to evaluate this period of history dif­ ferently. Nevertheless, the honor and disgrace imputed to Prince De’s efforts by alien peoples and alien ideologies cannot alter established historical fact. The activities of Japanese intelligence agents such as Morishima, Sasame, and others, and the establishment of the Japanese Special Service Offices in Doloonnor and Ujumuchin, together with the open intervention of Japanese military officers like Colonel Matsumoro Koryo and Major Tanaka Hisashi and the response of the Mongols and the changing situation of North China, have all been described in previous chapters and will not be further discussed here.

  • Human Brucellosis Occurrences in Inner Mongolia, China: a Spatio-Temporal Distribution and Ecological Niche Modeling Approach Peng Jia1* and Andrew Joyner2
    Jia and Joyner BMC Infectious Diseases (2015) 15:36 DOI 10.1186/s12879-015-0763-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Human brucellosis occurrences in inner mongolia, China: a spatio-temporal distribution and ecological niche modeling approach Peng Jia1* and Andrew Joyner2 Abstract Background: Brucellosis is a common zoonotic disease and remains a major burden in both human and domesticated animal populations worldwide. Few geographic studies of human Brucellosis have been conducted, especially in China. Inner Mongolia of China is considered an appropriate area for the study of human Brucellosis due to its provision of a suitable environment for animals most responsible for human Brucellosis outbreaks. Methods: The aggregated numbers of human Brucellosis cases from 1951 to 2005 at the municipality level, and the yearly numbers and incidence rates of human Brucellosis cases from 2006 to 2010 at the county level were collected. Geographic Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing (RS) and ecological niche modeling (ENM) were integrated to study the distribution of human Brucellosis cases over 1951–2010. Results: Results indicate that areas of central and eastern Inner Mongolia provide a long-term suitable environment where human Brucellosis outbreaks have occurred and can be expected to persist. Other areas of northeast China and central Mongolia also contain similar environments. Conclusions: This study is the first to combine advanced spatial statistical analysis with environmental modeling techniques when examining human Brucellosis outbreaks and will help to inform decision-making in the field of public health. Keywords: Brucellosis, Geographic information systems, Remote sensing technology, Ecological niche modeling, Spatial analysis, Inner Mongolia, China, Mongolia Background through the consumption of unpasteurized dairy products Brucellosis, a common zoonotic disease also referred to [4].
