The Gansu Governmental Work Report of 2012 emphasized that infrastructure construction and upgrading of the regional trunk road network in poverty-stricken and border areas should be regarded as the most important work, and the infrastructure construction in urban and rural ethnic group areas should be placed as a top priority too. A series of policies and measures put forward by the State and provincial governments to speed up the development of ethnic minority areas are to be implemented, and the development of national unity and common prosperity of all nationalities are to be embodied in the construction of demonstration areas. Meanwhile, such guiding principles as “one target, five strategies, three bases, three economic belts, two demonstration areas” are proposed by the Linxia governmental agencies in order to advance Linxia into a prosperous, harmonious, ecologically friendly place. The overall plan to make the county and the municipality into the center of the whole prefecture is to be the development pattern, and the construction of the Gansu central and southern provincial-level ethnic economic coordinated development belt in the 4+5+5Actions has been put forward. By building infrastructure projects such as urban roads, water supply and drainage, lighting, greening,

  • The Use of Social Capital in Organizing the Frog Festival Of
    doi: 10.14456/jms.2018.4 The Use of Social Capital in Organizing the Frog Festival of Baying Village in the Context of Cultural Tourism Development1 Houdian Yaa and Jaggapan Cadchumsangb* abFaculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Khon Kaen University Khon Kaen 40002, Thailand *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract This article deals with the use of social capital in organizing the Frog Festival in a Zhuang ethnic village in China amidst the expansion of cultural tourism. The data used were drawn from qualitative research in Baying Village, Donglan District, Hechi City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, People’s Republic of China. Key informant interviews as well as participant and non-participant observations were the main data collection techniques employed in the field research. The study found that there are three forms of social capital-namely, networks, norms, and trust-employed in the organization of the Frog Festival, which has become a part of China’s cultural tourism development. Social capital in the form of networks includes bonding networks among relatives, bridging networks between Baying residents and Zhuang outside the village, and linking networks between Baying villagers and the state as well as agencies from outside. Of the three forms of network, bonding is the most important because it connects not only those who have genealogical relationships, but also Zhuang dwellers from nearby villages to actively take part in organizing the festival. The research also indicates key roles of the other two categories of social capital-norms and trust-used in the organization of the Frog Festival which have allowed for its success in Baying and generated strong social networks.

  • List 3. Headings That Need to Be Changed from the Machine- Converted Form
    LIST 3. HEADINGS THAT NEED TO BE CHANGED FROM THE MACHINE- CONVERTED FORM The data dictionary for the machine conversion of subject headings was prepared in summer 2000 based on the systematic romanization of Wade-Giles terms in existing subject headings identified as eligible for conversion before detailed examination of the headings could take place. When investigation of each heading was subsequently undertaken, it was discovered that some headings needed to be revised to forms that differed from the forms that had been given in the data dictionary. This occurred most frequently when older headings no longer conformed to current policy, or in the case of geographic headings, when conflicts were discovered using current geographic reference sources, for example, the listing of more than one river or mountain by the same name in China. Approximately 14% of the subject headings in the pinyin conversion project were revised differently than their machine- converted forms. To aid in bibliographic file maintenance, the following list of those headings is provided. In subject authority records for the revised headings, Used For references (4XX) coded Anne@ in the $w control subfield for earlier form of heading have been supplied for the data dictionary forms as well as the original forms of the headings. For example, when you see: Chien yao ware/ converted to Jian yao ware/ needs to be manually changed to Jian ware It means: The subject heading Chien yao ware was converted to Jian yao ware by the conversion program; however, that heading now

College of Computer Science & Engineering, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] (Received 10th Jun 2019; accepted 28th Aug 2019) Abstract. The effective heavy metal content of soil indicates ecological environmental risks. The study takes the typical watershed area in northwestern China as a research area. The real-time and rapid risk assessment of ecological environment can be achieved through the monitoring value of normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) of remote sensing information and environmental factors, and a heavy metal ecological risk assessment model (HMER) for the evaluation of the watershed is built. The research results show that the change of the effective heavy metal content in different areas of the watershed is affected to some extent by the influence of geographical location and human activities. Among them NDVI and the content of heavy metals, precipitation and temperature, and a nonlinear relationship between the average heavy metal content and the ecological risk index HRI. The establishment of HMER research model is applied to different land use types to evaluate the ecological risk level of the watershed, explore the ecological risk level of different land use types in the same region, and in different regions.

  • BLACK NEPHRITE JADE from GUANGXI, SOUTHERN CHINA Qian Zhong, Zongting Liao, Lijian Qi, and Zhengyu Zhou
    FEATURE AR ICLES BLACK NEPHRITE JADE FROM GUANGXI, SOUTHERN CHINA Qian Zhong, Zongting liao, lijian Qi, and Zhengyu Zhou Twelve black nephrite samples collected from the Guangxi region of southern China were investigated by standard gemological testing, polarized microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electron microprobe analysis, as well as infrared, Raman, and ultraviolet/visible/near-infrared spectroscopy. Originating from Ca-skarn contact metaso- matism between limestone bearing siliceous rock and diabase intrusions, black nephrite from Guangxi consists mainly of actinolite or ferro-actinolite and minor stilpnomelane, andradite, apatite, epidote, quartz, diopside, pyrrhotite, and pyrite. Its high refractive index (1.625–1.650) and specific gravity (3.015–3.405), as well as its black color in natural light for plate samples and greenish yellow/brownish yellow or pale green/yellowish green/green color in transmitted light for thin-section samples, are primarily attributable to a high iron content: 11.67–25.75 2+ wt.% Fe oxides and a Mg/(Mg + Fe ) ratio of 0.765–0.343. Mid- and near-infrared spectra and Raman spectra are characterized by four vibration bands corresponding to hydroxyl groups coordinated to three cations in M1 and M3 2+ 2+ 2+ positions for (MMM1 1 3)OH combinations (Mg)3 OH, (Mg2 Fe )OH, (MgFe 2)OH, and (Fe )3 OH.
