History, Reorganization and Corporate Structure THIS DOCUMENT IS IN DRAFT FORM, INCOMPLETE AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE AND THAT THE INFORMATION MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE SECTION HEADED “WARNING” ON THE COVER OF THIS DOCUMENT HISTORY, REORGANIZATION AND CORPORATE STRUCTURE OVERVIEW Our Company was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on May 19, 2020 as an exempted company with limited liability. Our Group primarily engages in the provision of (i) consumer ophthalmic services and (ii) basic ophthalmic services through our hospitals and optical centers. For details of our facilities, see “— Our Operation Network — Our Hospitals — Our Facilities” and “— Our Operation Network — Our Optical Centers — Our Facilities” in the section headed “Business” in this document. Our history could be traced back to the period when the grandfather of our Chairman, Mr. Zhang Xinghuan, started to practice as a Chinese medicine physician. He was born in 1893 and studied medical science when he was young. Subsequently, by integrating the practices of Traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine, he founded a Chinese medical clinic named Zhonghetang in 1921. Following his father’s footprint, our founder, Mr. Zhang Chaoju, a pioneer of modern ophthalmology in Inner Mongolia and an entrepreneur in the field of Chinese ophthalmological services, founded the predecessor of our Company, a clinic providing ophthalmic services in Baotou, Inner Mongolia in 1988. Since then, we have deeply rooted in North China and built a broad network of ophthalmic hospitals and optical centers spanning across five provinces or autonomous region in China. Our Individual Shareholders, namely, Mr. Zhang Bozhou, Ms. Zhang Xiaoli, Mr. Zhang Junfeng and Mr. Zhang Fengsheng, being the children, and Ms. Zhang Yumei, being the niece, inherited the business from Mr. Zhang Chaoju prior to the Track Record Period. As of the Latest Practicable Date, we operated a network of 17 ophthalmic hospitals and 23 optical centers. In addition to our organic growth in the Inner Mongolia and other regions, we expanded our business through acquisitions. Our acquisitions of hospitals were mainly concentrated in the regions of Zhejiang Province, which allowed us to obtain the controlling rights of Ningbo Hospital, Xiangshan Hospital and Ninghai Hospital. In preparation for the [REDACTED], we implemented a series of corporate restructurings such that our Company became the holding company of our current businesses. For details of our business development and corporate restructurings, see “— Key Milestones” and “— Corporate Reorganization” below.

In light of the complexity of the human–environment system, more interdisciplinary analyses from geographical, environmental, and social sciences are needed. Using qualitative and quantitative methods from social, environmental, and geographical sciences, this study conducted a geographical regionalization and a comparative analysis of rural livelihoods in different zones in the Loess Plateau to explore the relationship between rural livelihoods and the environment. The results indicated that rural livelihoods are tightly coupled with the environment on a village scale, showing significant geographical regularity and spatial disparity. A combination of geographical location, resource endowment, and environmental sanitation affects rural livelihoods in terms of spatial patterns, development capacity, and quality of life in the context of the public ownership system, the utilization policy of land resources, and limited technical conditions. Coupling the relationship between rural livelihoods and a given environment on a village scale tends to lead to one of four types of relationships: “homeostatic”, “intense”, “transferred”, or “optimized”.

Thenkabail Received: 26 January 2016; Accepted: 23 May 2016; Published: 14 June 2016 Abstract: This study proposed a multi-target hierarchical detection (MTHD) method to simultaneously and automatically detect multiple directional land cover changes. MTHD used a hierarchical strategy to detect both abrupt and trend land cover changes successively. First, Grubbs’ test eliminated short-lived changes by considering them outliers. Then, the Brown-Forsythe test and the combination of Tomé’s method and the Chow test were applied to determine abrupt changes. Finally, Sen’s slope estimation coordinated with the Mann-Kendall test detection method was used to detect trend changes. Results demonstrated that both abrupt and trend land cover changes could be detected accurately and automatically. The overall accuracy of abrupt land cover changes was 87.0% and the kappa index was 0.74.

  • Migrant and Ethnic Integration in the Process of Socio-Economic Change in Inner Mongolia, China: a Village 1 Study
    Migrant and Ethnic Integration in the Process of Socio-economic Change in Inner Mongolia, China: a Village 1 Study Introduction Since the late 19th century, many Han farmers have migrated into Inner Mongolia. The Han population in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region increased from 1.2 million in 1912 to 17.3 million in 1990 (CPIRC, 1991) and a large proportion of this growth has been due to in-migration. The rapid population growth, especially the large amount of Han in-migration involved, has changed many aspects of the native Mongolian society: population density, ethnic structure, economic structure, social organization, language use, life customs, and ecological environment. Figure 1 pro- vides a general theoretical framework in understanding the effects of Han in-migration on society in ethnic minority areas (Ma, 1987:141). When natural resources were limited and the number of in-migrants was very large as in the case of rural Inner Mongolia, what might happen to community structure and economic activities of the native society? What might happen to environmental conditions as a result of in-migration of Han farmers and cultivation of grasslands? How might the changes in environment affect native-migrant relationship and the social behavior of residents? In order to understand the situation in rural areas of Inner Mongolia, a sample survey on migration and ethnic integration was conducted in Chifeng in 1985. Chifeng is a prefecture of Inner Mongolia (Figure 2). Some results of this survey provide a basic picture of migrant and ethnic integration based on quantitative analyses (Ma and Pan, 1988, 1989).

    VIII JAPANESE INTERVENTION AND THE MONGOLIAN ARMY GENERAL HEADQUARTERS JANUARY - MAY 1936 The Early Activities of Japanese Agents and the General Headquarters September 18, 1931, the date of the “Manchurian Incident,” represented the overt renewal of Japanese expansion on the Asian continent. Because of the changing world situation. Inner Mongolia could not entirely control its own destiny. Prince De and other Mongolian leaders could only seek out a way for the weak Inner Mongolia to con­ tinue its national existence in the face of the mad tide of worldwide disturbances. Parallel to the changing situation in northern China, Japanese advances into Inner Mongolia fol­ lowed one after another. Except for the Ordos, Alashan, and Ejine areas, all Inner Mon­ golia was swallowed up by Japanese armies. Faced with this overwhelming force. Prince De and the other leaders working together with him exerted themselves to the utmost in their struggle to maintain the existence of the Mongol people. Differences in political orientation and ideology have led different people to evaluate this period of history dif­ ferently. Nevertheless, the honor and disgrace imputed to Prince De’s efforts by alien peoples and alien ideologies cannot alter established historical fact. The activities of Japanese intelligence agents such as Morishima, Sasame, and others, and the establishment of the Japanese Special Service Offices in Doloonnor and Ujumuchin, together with the open intervention of Japanese military officers like Colonel Matsumoro Koryo and Major Tanaka Hisashi and the response of the Mongols and the changing situation of North China, have all been described in previous chapters and will not be further discussed here.

  • Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma Gondii Infection in Sheep in Inner Mongolia Province, China
    Parasite 27, 11 (2020) Ó X. Yan et al., published by EDP Sciences, 2020 https://doi.org/10.1051/parasite/2020008 Available online at: www.parasite-journal.org RESEARCH ARTICLE OPEN ACCESS Seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in sheep in Inner Mongolia Province, China Xinlei Yan1,a,*, Wenying Han1,a, Yang Wang1, Hongbo Zhang2, and Zhihui Gao3 1 Food Science and Engineering College of Inner Mongolia Agricultural University, Hohhot 010018, PR China 2 Inner Mongolia Food Safety and Inspection Testing Center, Hohhot 010090, PR China 3 Inner Mongolia KingGoal Technology Service Co., Ltd., Hohhot 010010, PR China Received 6 January 2020, Accepted 8 February 2020, Published online 19 February 2020 Abstract – Toxoplasma gondii is an important zoonotic parasite that can infect almost all warm-blooded animals, including humans, and infection may result in many adverse effects on animal husbandry production. Animal husbandry in Inner Mongolia is well developed, but data on T. gondii infection in sheep are lacking. In this study, we determined the seroprevalence and risk factors associated with the seroprevalence of T. gondii using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) test. A total of 1853 serum samples were collected from 29 counties of Xilin Gol League (n = 624), Hohhot City (n = 225), Ordos City (n = 158), Wulanchabu City (n = 144), Bayan Nur City (n = 114) and Hulunbeir City (n = 588). The overall seroprevalence of T. gondii was 15.43%. Risk factor analysis showed that seroprevalence was higher in sheep 12 months of age (21.85%) than that in sheep <12 months of age (10.20%) (p < 0.01).
