II Executive Summary 1) Overview of the Road Project 1. The recommended route plan of The Road Project is as follows. The beginning of the route is national road 319, then to the east the route entering the Dongyuan Township from Jiguanshan Township. After that, entering Chishan Town by using a north-south ridge line and valley line in the middle of Dongyuan Township, and along the eastern industrial park periphery of Chishan Town and the Shanghai-Kunming freeway. The route goes into Gaokeng Town, then enters into Yuannan Township along the Shanghai-Kunming freeway and after a valley line across a mountain. After that, the route needs to combine with industrial park planning of Luxi, to across five low mountains into Yinhe Town; to combine with the national and provincial agricultural industrial park planning of Yinhe Town, and then to enter Xuanfeng Town by using low hills across Yuan River, and to use the existing railway passage to cross the Zhejiang-Jiangxi railway, and finally to use the existing road connected to national road 320, which it is the end of the route. The length of the route is about 44.014km, of which the valley line length is 29.3km, the ridge line is 1.2km, the length of mountainside line is 15.8km, and the ridge crossing line is 3.824km. 2. The Road Project will be started in September 2016 and be completed in August 2018. 2) Land acquisition and house demolition 3. Land acquisition (LA) involves in 7 towns with 26 villages of Shangli County, Anyuan District and Luxi County with affecting a total population of 2,165 households with 8,707 persons (including 25 staff members of 2 enterprises), which include female population 3,698, accounting for 49.84%, and include minority 11 HHs with 15 persons.. 4. 742.535 mu of collective land will be acquired, affecting 1,855 households with 7,419 persons. Residential houses of 12,952.1 ㎡ will be demolished, affecting 36 households with 165 persons. 502.6 mu land will be acquired for temporarily, affecting 274 households with 1,098 persons. Non-residential houses of 941.6 ㎡ will be demolished, affecting 2 enterprises and public institutions with 25 persons. 3) Policy framework and entitlements 5. In order to avoid or reduce negative impacts of LA, adequate consultation was conducted on the potential site of the Road Project, the affected village groups and persons at the feasibility study stage. An optimum option was selected through comparison. 6. This RP is based on the Land Administration Law of the PRC (2004), the Decision of the State Council on Deepening the Reform and Rigidly Enforcing Land Administration (SC [2004] No.28), the applicable policies of Jiangxi Province, and ADB’s Safeguard Policy Statement (2009). According to the above policies, and in consultation with local governments and affected persons (APs), the resettlement principles of the Road Project are: 1) Screen the Road Project early on to identify past, present, and future involuntary resettlement impacts and risks. Determine the scope of resettlement planning through a survey and/or census of displaced persons, including a gender analysis, specifically related to resettlement impacts and risks. 2) Carry out meaningful consultations with affected persons, host communities, and concerned nongovernment organizations. Inform all displaced persons of their entitlements and 2 resettlement options. Ensure their participation in planning, implementation, and monitoring and evaluation of resettlement programs. Pay particular attention to the needs of vulnerable groups, especially those below the poverty line, the land-loss, the elderly, women and children, and Indigenous Peoples, and those without legal title to land, and ensure their participation in consultations. Establish a grievance redress mechanism to receive and facilitate resolution of the affected persons’ concerns. Support the social and cultural institutions of displaced persons and their host population. Where involuntary resettlement impacts and risks are highly complex and sensitive, compensation and resettlement decisions should be preceded by a social preparation phase. 3) Improve, or at least restore, the livelihoods of all displaced persons through (I) land-based resettlement strategies when affected livelihoods are land based where possible or cash compensation at replacement value for land when the loss of land does not undermine livelihoods, (ii) prompt replacement of assets with access to assets of equal or higher value, (iii) prompt compensation at full replacement cost for assets that cannot be restored, and (iv) additional revenues and services through benefit sharing schemes where possible. 4) Provide physically and economically displaced persons with needed assistance, including the following: (I) if there is relocation, secured tenure to relocation land, better housing at resettlement sites with comparable access to employment and production opportunities, integration of resettled persons economically and socially into their host communities, and extension of project benefits to host communities; (ii) transitional support and development assistance, such as land development, credit facilities, training, or employment opportunities; and (iii) civic infrastructure and community services, as required. 5) improve the standards of living

  • Water Resources Deployment Model for Pingshui River Basin - 985
    Huang et al.: Water resources deployment model for Pingshui River Basin - 985 - WATER RESOURCES DEPLOYMENT MODEL FOR PINGSHUI RIVER BASIN HUANG, B. B.1,2,* ‒ NIU, J. T.2 ‒ GUI, F. L.1 ‒ ZHANG, X. H.2 1JiangXi Engineering Research Center of Water Engineering Safety and Resources Efficient Utilization 2School of Water Resources and Ecological Engineering, Nanchang Institute of Technology No. 289 Tianxiang Avenue, Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, China *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected]; phone: +86-13698095556 (Received 28th Oct 2016; accepted 28th Feb 2017) Abstract. The reasonable deployment of water resources can reduce resources consumption, increase the output of resources and thus ensure a sustainable economic development. The Pingshui River Basin in Jiangxi Province of China with developed economy but seriously lacking in water, was chosen as the study area and the dualistic distributed hydrological model of this region was established. Then, the water resources allocation objective, basic principles, river water operation rules and priority levels for all water consumers were fixed. Also, the objective function and constraint conditions were established, and forecast the water demand from various industries. Next, the optimal deployment of water resources in Pingshui River Basin was achieved through controlling variables including the water conservancy project operation rules, the channel discharge capacity, priority rules for water consumers and simulating the transport and transformation and interaction process under the natural and artificial dual coupling conditions. The deployment results show that there is seasonal and locality water shortage in Pingshui River Basin. Finally, based on the optimal water resources deployment results, utilization and exploitation status, specific countermeasures for water resources tapping and saving were proposed to increase the output of water resources and reduce its consumption.

POVERTY AND SOCIAL ANALYSIS AND STRATEGY Targeting classification: General intervention A. Links to the National Poverty Reduction and Inclusive Growth Strategy and Country Partnership Strategy Pingxiang municipality is located in western Jiangxi province, in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), with a land area of 3,827 square kilometers and a total population of 1.87 million (4.16% of Jiangxi); Shangli County accounts for 25.4% of Pingxiang’s population, Anyuan District 23.9%, Xiangdong District 21.3%, Luxi County 15.5%, and Lianhua County 13.9%. The overall poverty incidence in Pingxiang is 13.88%, which is higher than that of Jiangxi (9.41%) and the national average (7.59%). Pingxiang is an important resource-based city in southern PRC, with coal, iron ore, and limestone as its main minerals. It is experiencing mineral resource depletion, serious environmental degradation, and outdated industries. As one of 12 designated resource-depleted cities in the PRC, Pingxiang receives support for economic restructuring and environmental protection. Pingxiang lacks investments in urban and rural flood protection infrastructure, water environment management, wastewater and sanitation, and rural–urban linkages. Pingxiang’s major rivers face challenges of silting and pollution. The frequency of floods has risen in recent years, posing great risks to local residents and property, especially the poor who tend to reside close to rivers.

  • Effects of Food Contamination on Gastrointestinal Morbidity: Comparison of Different Machine-Learning Methods
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Effects of Food Contamination on Gastrointestinal Morbidity: Comparison of Different Machine-Learning Methods Qin Song 1,*, Yu-Jun Zheng 2 and Jun Yang 3 1 Scientific Research Institute, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 311121, China 2 Institute of Service Engineering, Hangzhou Normal University, Hangzhou 311121, China; [email protected] 3 School of Public Health, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310009, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 29 January 2019; Accepted: 3 March 2019; Published: 7 March 2019 Abstract: Morbidity prediction can be useful in improving the effectiveness and efficiency of medical services, but accurate morbidity prediction is often difficult because of the complex relationships between diseases and their influencing factors. This study investigates the effects of food contamination on gastrointestinal-disease morbidities using eight different machine-learning models, including multiple linear regression, a shallow neural network, and three deep neural networks and their improved versions trained by an evolutionary algorithm. Experiments on the datasets from ten cities/counties in central China demonstrate that deep neural networks achieve significantly higher accuracy than classical linear-regression and shallow neural-network models, and the deep denoising autoencoder model with evolutionary learning exhibits the best prediction performance. The results also indicate that the prediction accuracies on acute gastrointestinal diseases are generally higher than those on other diseases, but the models are difficult to predict the morbidities of gastrointestinal tumors. This study demonstrates that evolutionary deep-learning models can be utilized to accurately predict the morbidities of most gastrointestinal diseases from food contamination, and this approach can be extended for the morbidity prediction of many other diseases.
