    Spatial Difference and Equity Analysis for Accessibility to Three-Level Medical Services Based on Actual Medical Behavior in Shaanxi, China

    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Spatial Difference and Equity Analysis for Accessibility to Three-Level Medical Services Based on Actual Medical Behavior in Shaanxi, China Kan Wang, Jianjun Bai * and Xing Dang School of Geography and Tourism, Shaanxi Normal University, Xi’an 710119, China; [email protected] (K.W.); [email protected] (X.D.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: The contradiction between the supply and demand of public medical resources in China is serious. On the basis of the “graded diagnosis and treatment” model, the Chinese government divides the medical grade and adjusts the allocation of medical facilities so as to alleviate the adverse impact of these issues on residents’ health. Although the government tries to guide residents’ medical treatment according to the level of medical facilities, there are differences between residents’ medical treatment mode and policy rules in reality. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore spatial differences in accessibility to medical services for residents on the basis of the actual medical behavior. This article takes Shaanxi province as the research area, and uses the improved node cost network analysis method with the space-time distance model and the two-step floating catchment area method, respectively, to analyze the spatial differences of accessibility to three-level medical services and evaluate the equity of accessibility in different areas and groups in Shaanxi. Results showed that the overall level of accessibility to primary medical services in the province is good, and spatial distribution is balanced; the polarization of accessibility to secondary and tertiary medical services is a serious issue, and within the research area, a band-shaped multicore spatial structure was formed with the built-up areas of various cities as high-level centers of accessibility.

    Abstract: Since the reform and opening-up in 1978, China’s economy has been growing for decades. At the same time, the total energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions are increasing, which cause the dual pressure of energy supply and ecological environment. With the development of technology, the adjustment of energy consumption structure, Documento de Trabajo and the transformation and upgrading of industrial structure, China has put great efforts Serie Política de la Competencia y Regulación on the increasing of energy efficiency and decreasing of fossil energy consumption, which Número 61 / 2020 results in the decline of carbon intensity and the gradual decoupling of China’s economic growth and carbon emissions. It is significant to study the main reasons for the decoupling between China’s economic growth and carbon emissions, and to discuss the measures for the decoupling is momentous for exploring a green, low-carbon and sustainable development path for future in China.

  • New Leaders Begin the Search for Economic Reform

    New Leaders Begin the Search for Economic Reform

    Signaling Change: New Leaders Begin the Search for Economic Reform Barry Naughton Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang are now the two top leaders in China. Both have moved quickly to break with the Hu-Wen Administration and signal their support for dramatic new economic reforms. The structure of the new Politburo Standing Committee appears to support their aspirations. Neither Xi nor Li has yet committed to specific reform measures, and the obstacles to reform are formidable. However, both Xi and Li have committed to a process that will lead to the creation of a reform program by late 2013. From the standpoint of economic reform policy, the outcome of the 18th Party Congress was clear and unambiguous. The two top leaders, Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang, emerged from the Congress with a substantial degree of room to maneuver. Both leaders quickly displayed their willingness to break with what had become business as usual under Hu Jintao and Wen Jiabao. Xi and Li, each in his own way, moved quickly to express their intention to support a revitalized program of economic reform. Xi Jinping has received most of the attention, which is certainly appropriate. Xi has brought a more direct and personal style to the top job, a refreshing change of pace that has generally been welcomed both in China and abroad, and has shown that he intends to keep an eye on economics. Li Keqiang has also begun to signal his intentions. Although Li’s approach is more understated—in part because he will not actually step in as Premier until the March National People’s Congress meetings—his comments merit close attention.

Defatted rice bran (DFRB), an abundant and underutilized agricultural coproduct of the paddy rice, was a replacement of corn and soybean meal. It is necessary to comprehensively evaluate the nutritional value of DFRB. This study determined and compared the net energy (NE) of DFRB from different sources and different processing technology fed to growing pigs using indirect calorimetry. Results indicated that NE contents of extruded DFRB from different provinces were within the range of values ((8.24 to 10.22 MJ/kg dry matter (DM)). The NE contents of extruded DFRB and pelleted DFRB from the same province were 8.24 vs. 6.56 MJ/kg DM. This study showed that there is a discrepancy of approximately 10.01% in the NE content between the DFRB origins. The data above suggested that NE content of DFRB could be related to DFRB origins and processing technology. More NE contents of different DFRB samples deserve to be explored further.

Careful planning for and accommodation of accelerating urbanization and citizenization (i.e., migrants gaining official urban residency) may be the best approach to limit some of the worst impacts. However, we find that another trajectory may be possible: one linked to the rural development plan adopted in the latest Chinese national development strategy. This plan aims to build rural areas as attractive areas for settlement by 2050 rather than to further urbanize with more people in cities. We assess the political motivations and challenges behind this choice to develop rural areas based on a literature review and empirical case analysis. After assessing the rural and urban policy subsystem, we find five socio-political drivers behind China’s rural development strategy, namely ensuring food security, promoting culture and heritage, addressing overcapacity, emphasizing environmental protection and eradicating poverty. To develop rural areas, China needs to effectively resolve three dilemmas: (1) implementing decentralized policies under central supervision; (2) deploying limited resources Citation: Xu, H.; Pittock, J.; Daniell, efficiently to achieve targets; and (3) addressing competing narratives in current policies.

This study aims at evaluating the effectiveness of the reform and investigating its positive impacts and unintended consequences to provide evidence basis for further policy making. Methods: The Difference-in-difference (DID) approach was employed to analyze the reform impacts on the 31 provincial administrative areas in China based on data abstracted from China Statistics Yearbooks and China Health Statistics Yearbooks from 2012 to 2018. Results: The reform resulted in a decrease of 7.59% in drug cost per outpatient visit, a decrease of 5.73% in drug cost per inpatient admission, a decrease of 3.63% in total cost per outpatient visit and an increase of 9.10% in surgery cost per inpatient admission in the intervention group. However, no significant change in examination cost was found. The reduction in the medical cost per inpatient admission was not yet demonstrated, nor was that in the total outpatient/ inpatient expenses. The nationwide pricing reform for drugs and medical services in urban public hospitals (PRDMS-U) in China is demonstrated to be effective in cutting down the drug expenditures.

    TIBET INSIGHT, SEPTMEBER 1-15, 2018 TAR NEWS TAR PSB creates “3-minute Police Circle” September 06, 2018 The TAR PSB recently launched a “3-minute police circle” initiative as part of a new series of surveillance measures. Police Stations under this scheme will issue ID cards to residents for ‘free’. The new Saikang Convenience Police Station, at the intersection of Beijing Middle road and Qingnian Road in Lhasa, is part of the “3-minute police circle” initiative and in addition to public security tasks assists tourists visiting the city. An example was cited of two Swiss tourists who were lost and arrived at the Saikang Convenience Police Station. The Police Station got in touch with one Sonam Dorjee, Dean of Southwest University for Nationalities and an English major, who arrived in 3 minutes and guided the tourists to their destination. The official Tibetan media report said Sonam and his colleagues make at least forty times a day to convenience police stations if necessary. Chen Jian, Head of the Convenience Police Detachment of the TAR Public Security Department, said “since the police stations were built, they are committed to facilitate and benefit people. By dividing the service management of each place into a grid, the 3-minute police circle has not only facilitated the masses but also increased their sense of security”. He added that the convenience police stations have made the streets and alleys of Lhasa secure. 97.6% of the township police stations in Tibet also oversee household registration, second-generation ID card processing and issue of birth certificates.

The top-level emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic involved an exhaustive quarantine in China. The 11 impacts of COVID-19 quarantine on the decline in fine particulate matter (PM2.5) were quantitatively assessed based on 12 numerical simulations and observations in February. Relative to both of February 2017 and climate mean, anomalous 13 southerlies and moister air occurred in the east of China in February 2020, which caused considerable PM2.5 anomalies. Thus, 14 it is a must to disentangle the contributions of stable meteorology from the effects of the COVID-19 lockdown.

Observations have shown high BrC concentrations and absorption in China, suggesting potentially large BrC emissions. The potential contribution of fossil fuel combustion to BrC emission has been ignored in most previous studies. Here, we use GEOS-Chem to simulate BrC distribution and absorption in China, accounting for three major primary BrC sources: residential coal and biofuel combustion, vehicle exhausts, and open biomass burning. Based on the literature and related energy consumption data, we estimate the specific emission ratio of BrC versus BC, and BrC mass absorption efficiency (MAE) for each source. Combined with BC emission, total BrC emission in China is then estimated to be 3.42 Tg yr−1 in 2018, of which 71% is from residential combustion, 14% is from vehicle exhaust, and 15% is from open biomass burning. Residential combustion is the main source of surface BrC in China, accounting for 60% on average, followed by open biomass burning (23%) and vehicle exhaust emissions (17%).
