Project Construction In Aug. 2006, the Project of Yining Urban Road and Public Utilities Construction was approved officially by Development and Reform Committee of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region as one of the projects financed by ADB Loan. The construction content covers: (1) Road Works, consisting of 4 main roads and 32 laneways. The extension of main roads covers Chongqing Road, Shandong Road and Dongliang Street, the newly-built main road is Northern Xihuan Road, the total length is 13.23 km, and the total area is 42.1 thousand m2; due to the widening and lengthening of roads, land requisition and residential house demolishment are required, the total of affected households is 426, of which, 319 households of ethnic minority account for 74.88%; 164 urban households account for 38.5% and 262 rural households account for 61.5%. 66 households at Hanbin Village of Hanbin Township on Chongqing Road are affected, including 51 households of ethnic minority; 90 households at Hanbin Village of Hanbin Township on Shandong Road, including 64 households of ethnic minority; 66 households at Bulake Village of Dadamutu Township on Northern Xihuan Road, including 36 households of ethnic minority; 40 households at Dongliang Village of Kaerdun Township on Dongliang Street, including 31 ethnic minority; and 164 households (urban residents) in Qiongkeruike Sub-district, including 137 households of ethnic minority; the affected enterprise is 1 petrol station, and the affected small business shops are 100 shops on Dongliang Street; the total length of laneways is 132.61km, total area 806.2 thousand m2; since the width of laneways to be rebuilt would be similar to the original width, no land requisition and resettlement is required. (2) Construction of Environmental Sanitation Facilities. The proposed environmental 1 sanitation facilities mainly include garbage collection facilities on roadsides, environment-friendly

  • List of Horse Breeds 1 List of Horse Breeds
    List of horse breeds 1 List of horse breeds This page is a list of horse and pony breeds, and also includes terms used to describe types of horse that are not breeds but are commonly mistaken for breeds. While there is no scientifically accepted definition of the term "breed,"[1] a breed is defined generally as having distinct true-breeding characteristics over a number of generations; its members may be called "purebred". In most cases, bloodlines of horse breeds are recorded with a breed registry. However, in horses, the concept is somewhat flexible, as open stud books are created for developing horse breeds that are not yet fully true-breeding. Registries also are considered the authority as to whether a given breed is listed as Light or saddle horse breeds a "horse" or a "pony". There are also a number of "color breed", sport horse, and gaited horse registries for horses with various phenotypes or other traits, which admit any animal fitting a given set of physical characteristics, even if there is little or no evidence of the trait being a true-breeding characteristic. Other recording entities or specialty organizations may recognize horses from multiple breeds, thus, for the purposes of this article, such animals are classified as a "type" rather than a "breed". The breeds and types listed here are those that already have a Wikipedia article. For a more extensive list, see the List of all horse breeds in DAD-IS. Heavy or draft horse breeds For additional information, see horse breed, horse breeding and the individual articles listed below.

  • Prevalence and Causes of Blindness, Visual Impairment Among Different
    Li et al. BMC Ophthalmology (2018) 18:41 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12886-018-0705-6 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Prevalence and causes of blindness, visual impairment among different ethnical minority groups in Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, China Yanping Li1, Wenyong Huang2, Aoyun Qiqige3, Hongwei Zhang4, Ling Jin2, Pula Ti5, Jennifer Yip6 and Baixiang Xiao1,2* Abstract Background: The aim of this cross-sectional study is to ascertain the prevalence and causes of blindness, visual impairment, uptake of cataract surgery among different ethnic groups in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, China. Methods: Four thousand one hundred fifty people at 50 years and above from different minority ethnic groups were randomly selected for an eye examination. The four trained eye teams collected data using tumbling E visual chart, torch, portable slit lamp and direct ophthalmoscope in 2015. The World Health Organization’s definition of blindness and visual impairment (VI) was used to classify patients in each ethnic group. Data were analyzed by different minority groups and were compared with Han Chinese. Results: 3977 (95.8%) out of 4150 people were examined. The prevalence of blindness from the study population was 1. 7% (95% confidence interval: 1.3–2.2%).There was no significant difference in prevalence of blindness between Han Chinese and people of Khazak and other minority ethnic groups, nor, between male and female. Cataract was the leading course (65.5%) of blindness and uncorrected refractive error was the most common cause of VI (36.3%) followed by myopic retinopathy. The most common barrier to cataract surgery was lack of awareness of service availability.

  • China, Das Chinesische Meer Und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia
    China, das Chinesische Meer und Nordostasien China, the East Asian Seas, and Northeast Asia Horses of the Xianbei, 300–600 AD: A Brief Survey Shing MÜLLER1 iNTRODUCTION The Chinese cavalry, though gaining great weight in warfare since Qin and Han times, remained lightly armed until the fourth century. The deployment of heavy armours of iron or leather for mounted warriors, especially for horses, seems to have been an innovation of the steppe peoples on the northern Chinese border since the third century, as indicated in literary sources and by archaeological excavations. Cavalry had become a major striking force of the steppe nomads since the fall of the Han dynasty in 220 AD, thus leading to the warfare being speedy and fierce. Ever since then, horses occupied a crucial role in war and in peace for all steppe riders on the northern borders of China. The horses were selectively bred, well fed, and drilled for war; horses of good breed symbolized high social status and prestige of their owners. Besides, horses had already been the most desired commodities of the Chinese. With superior cavalries, the steppe people intruded into North China from 300 AD onwards,2 and built one after another ephemeral non-Chinese kingdoms in this vast territory. In this age of disunity, known pain- fully by the Chinese as the age of Sixteen States (316–349 AD) and the age of Southern and Northern Dynas- ties (349–581 AD), many Chinese abandoned their homelands in the CentraL Plain and took flight to south of the Huai River, barricaded behind numerous rivers, lakes and hilly landscapes unfavourable for cavalries, until the North and the South reunited under the flag of the Sui (581–618 AD).3 Although warfare on horseback was practised among all northern steppe tribes, the Xianbei or Särbi, who originated from the southeastern quarters of modern Inner Mongolia and Manchuria, emerged as the major power during this period.

These International (2000), was found by Ludlow and Kinnear observations appear to constitute the first records from (1934) in the west of Xinjiang (Chinese Turkestan) more the Chinese part of the eastern Tianshan and Altay than seventy years ago. Prior to the 1990s there were Mountains. no further reports, leading many authors to conclude In Xinjiang, the Corncrake has been found in oases, that it was a very rare bird in China (Cheng Tso-hsin river valleys and subalpine grasslands at 600–3,700 m. 1987, Collar et al.1994). However, Hornskov (1995) It is usually found in cultivated fields of sesame, alfalfa, reported this species in Xinjiang in 1995, and we wheat and barley, or grassland not far from water.
