  • Studies on the Characteristics Related to Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation of Legumes and the Rhizobium Resources in the Arid Area of the Northwestern China
    Studies on the Characteristics Related to Symbiotic Nitrogen Fixation of Legumes and the Rhizobium Resources in the Arid Area of the Northwestern China Wang Weiwei1 – Hu Zhenghai 1College of Life Sciences, Northwest University, Xi`an , Shaanxi, 710069,P.R.China, Tel.: 86-29-88303572; Fax: 86-29-88303534; E-mail: [email protected] 1. Abstract The nodulation and nitrogen fixation of major cultivated and wild legumes dispersed over 36 genera, 98 species have been studied in some region of Gansu province and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. 360 strains of root nodules bacterial have been isolated from about 400 samples, among them of 44 strains were from 30 species that have not been reported yet in Allen`s “The Leguminoaes” and other literatures. The most of which were tested infecting in 22 model species that belong to 20 genera as host, 81.2% strains of tested rhizobia can nodule with host plants. Above 85% of those nodule samples were effective for nitrogen fixation. The result showed that the activities of nitrogen fixation in nodules of various species varied greatly and all of them were low. 46.6% of them are under 1 µmolC2H4/gFWh and more than 10 µmolC2H4/gFWh is only 6.8%.The nitrogenase activity was closely related to the growth period of plants. 2. Introduction The area of Gansu province and Ningxia autonomous region in the northwest China is approximately 450,000 Km2, there are small Mt. Longshan and west Qinling with semi-humid, semi-arid and deciduous broad-leaved forest warm temperate zone and wood-grass climate, Bailong River drainage area with semi-tropical continent humid climate, and Allah friendly plateau with middle Asia continent arid hungriness climate.

  • Evidence from Pingliang, Gansu Province
    www.ccsenet.org/ijbm International Journal of Business and Management Vol. 6, No. 7; July 2011 How Rural Labors in Less Developing Areas of Northwest China Migrate? ----- Evidence from Pingliang, Gansu Province Haiying Ma (Lecturer) School of Economics, Northwest University for Nationalities Lanzhou 730124, China E-mail: [email protected] Lina Lian (Associate professor) School of Economics, Northwest University for Nationalities Lanzhou 730124, China E-mail: [email protected] Received: April 7, 2011 Accepted: April 23, 2011 doi:10.5539/ijbm.v6n7p276 Abstract This paper explores the role of local context on the effectiveness of overall employment strategy in reducing rural labor forces through non-agricultural rural employment. Compared to other regions in China, rural labor migration in Pingliang city, Gansu has owned unique characteristics. In the light of rural labor resource status, local government adjusts measures to particular conditions and seeks after the way for its rural labor migrations that is propitious to current situation. As a result, rural income has been improved, and local economy has been stable. My aim is to highlight the impact of overall employment strategy on less developing regions in Northwest of China. Based on my fieldworks on Pingliang in 2008 I present six migration patterns investigated in which local labor migrants succeed and its extension to other regions to tackle employment problems. Keywords: Rural labor migration, Pingliang city, Migration patterns 1. Introduction Migration, which can be considered a significant feature of livelihoods in developing regions, is pursuit of better living standards. Ever since the seminal work of Ravenstein (Ravenstein, E., 1899) numerous studies have explored various aspects of this pervasive phenomenon.

  • Residents' Satisfaction with Primary Medical and Health Services In
    Dong et al. BMC Health Services Research (2017) 17:298 DOI 10.1186/s12913-017-2200-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Residents’ satisfaction with primary medical and health services in Western China Weinan Dong1, Qingyu Zhang3, Chunsheng Yan1*, Wanling Fu2 and Linlin Xu1 Abstract Background: Currently, China is in the process of medical and health care reform, and the establishment of primary medical and health services covering urban and rural residents is an important aspect of this process. Studying the satisfaction of residents of underdeveloped areas with their primary medical and health services and identifying the factors that can increase the satisfaction of different groups may improve patient compliance and ultimately improve health. Moreover, such research may provide a reference for the development of medical and health undertakings in similarly underdeveloped areas. Methods: A face-to-face survey was conducted on a stratified random sample of 2200 residents in Gansu by using structured questionnaires. Demographic characteristics were collated, and questionnaires were factor-analysed and weighted using SPSS software to obtain scores for each factor, as well as total satisfaction scores. The characteristics of poorly satisfied populations were determined by a multiple linear regression analysis using SAS software. A cluster analysis was performed using SAS software for classification and a separate discussion of populations. Results: The hypertension self-awareness rate (11.29%) of the sampled population was lower than the average hypertension prevalence (23.85%), as recorded in the 2014 Health Statistical Yearbook of the region. The disease knowledge awareness factor was the lowest factor (2.857), whereas the policy awareness factor was the highest factor (4.772).
