Rees, Chair The Zhuang minority in Guangxi, China, are commonly celebrated for their “sea of songs.” While the epithet of being “good at singing and dancing” is an overused description applied to China’s fifty-five minorities, Zhuang do gather in parks during weekends and holidays and sing strophic songs outside their homes and on mountain tops to each other in annual festivals. Although a given geographic area typically features only one of these tunes, in many areas of Guangxi, these songs are the primary form of music-making. This kind of strophic singing, known throughout China as mountain songs (shan’ge), has a variety of names spread among the dialects of the eighteen million Tai-Kadai speakers who make up the Zhuang. The Zhuang who live along the Youjiang river valley call their traditional singing fien.

  • Guangxi Liuzhou Dongcheng Investment & Development Assigned
    Guangxi Liuzhou Dongcheng Investment & Development Assigned 'BB' Rating With Stable Outlook; Proposed Notes Rated 'BB-' 22-Nov-2018 21:31 EST View Analyst Contact Information We see an extremely high likelihood that LZDC will receive timely and sufficient extraordinary support from the Liuzhou municipal government if the company comes under financial distress. LZDC has very high financial leverage, weak operating cash flow and interest coverage, a small scale, high geographic concentration, and business dependence on the local government. The company's exclusive rights in developing Liudong New District and ongoing government support partly moderate these weaknesses. We are assigning our 'BB' long-term issuer credit rating to LZDC and our 'BB-' long-term issue rating to the proposed U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes that the company proposes to issue. The stable rating outlook on LZDC reflects our stable credit outlook on the Liuzhou municipal government over the next 12-24 months. HONG KONG (S&P Global Ratings) Nov. 23, 2018--S&P Global Ratings today said it has assigned its 'BB' long-term issuer credit rating to Guangxi Liuzhou Dongcheng Investment & Development Co. Ltd. (LZDC). The outlook is stable. We also assigned our 'BB-' long-term issue rating to the proposed U.S. dollar-denominated senior unsecured notes that LZDC proposes to issue. The issue rating is subject to our review of the final issuance documentation. LZDC is the largest local government investment and financing platform (LGFV) and state-owned enterprises (SOE) in Liuzhou city, Guangxi province. LZDC is wholly owned by Liuzhou State-Owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC), on behalf of the Liuzhou municipal government.

  • RDL Mutations Predict Multiple Insecticide Resistance in Anopheles Sinensis in Guangxi, China Chan Yang1,2, Zushi Huang1, Mei Li1, Xiangyang Feng3 and Xinghui Qiu1*
    Yang et al. Malar J (2017) 16:482 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12936-017-2133-0 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access RDL mutations predict multiple insecticide resistance in Anopheles sinensis in Guangxi, China Chan Yang1,2, Zushi Huang1, Mei Li1, Xiangyang Feng3 and Xinghui Qiu1* Abstract Background: Anopheles sinensis is a major vector of malaria in China. The gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-gated chloride channel, encoded by the RDL (Resistant to dieldrin) gene, is the important target for insecticides of widely varied structures. The use of various insecticides in agriculture and vector control has inevitably led to the develop- ment of insecticide resistance, which may reduce the control efectiveness. Therefore, it is important to investigate the presence and distribution frequency of the resistance related mutation(s) in An. sinensis RDL to predict resistance to both the withdrawn cyclodienes (e.g. dieldrin) and currently used insecticides, such as fpronil. Methods: Two hundred and forty adults of An. sinensis collected from nine locations across Guangxi Zhuang Autono- mous Region were used. Two fragments of An. sinensis RDL (AsRDL) gene, covering the putative insecticide resistance related sites, were sequenced respectively. The haplotypes of each individual were reconstructed by the PHASE2.1 software, and confrmed by clone sequencing. The phylogenetic tree was built using maximum-likelihood and Bayes- ian inference methods. Genealogical relations among diferent haplotypes were also analysed using Network 5.0. Results: The coding region of AsRDL gene was 1674 bp long, encoding a protein of 557 amino acids. AsRDL had 98.0% amino acid identity to that from Anopheles funestus, and shared common structural features of Cys-loop ligand- gated ion channels.

  • Biplot Evaluation of Test Environments and Identification of Mega
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Biplot evaluation of test environments and identification of mega-environment for sugarcane Received: 23 April 2015 Accepted: 28 September 2015 cultivars in China Published: 22 October 2015 Jun Luo1, Yong-Bao Pan2, Youxiong Que1, Hua Zhang1, Michael Paul Grisham2 & Liping Xu1 Test environments and classification of regional ecological zones into mega environments are the two key components in regional testing of sugarcane cultivars. This study aims to provide the theoretical basis for test environment evaluation and ecological zone division for sugarcane cultivars. In the present study, sugarcane yield data from a three-year nationwide field trial involving 21 cultivars and 14 pilot test locations were analysed using both analysis of variance (ANOVA) and heritability adjusted-genotype main effect plus genotype-environment interaction (HA-GGE) biplot. The results showed that among the interactive factors, the GE interaction had the greatest impact, while the genotype and year interaction showed the lowest impact. Kaiyuan, Lincang and Baoshan of Yunnan, Zhangzhou and Fuzhou of Fujian, and Hechi, Liuzhou and Chongzuo of Guangxi, and Lingao of Hainan were ideal test environments with a demonstrated high efficiency in selecting new cultivars with a wide adaptability, whereas Baise of Guangxi was not. Based on HA-GGE biplot analysis, there are three ecological sugarcane production zones in China, the Southern China Inland Zone, the Southwestern Plateau Zone, and the Southern Coastal Zone. The HA-GGE biplot analysis here presents the ideal test environments and also identifies the mega-environment for sugarcane cultivars in China. Environmental changes affect both crop growth and yield due to significant genotype × environment interactions (GE)1–5.

  • Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor?
    DOI:http://dx.doi.org/10.7314/APJCP.2015.16.8.3579 Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? RESEARCH ARTICLE Anisotropic Patterns of Liver Cancer Prevalence in Guangxi in Southwest China: Is Local Climate a Contributing Factor? Wei Deng1&, Long Long2&*, Xian-Yan Tang3, Tian-Ren Huang1, Ji-Lin Li1, Min- Hua Rong1, Ke-Zhi Li1, Hai-Zhou Liu1 Abstract Geographic information system (GIS) technology has useful applications for epidemiology, enabling the detection of spatial patterns of disease dispersion and locating geographic areas at increased risk. In this study, we applied GIS technology to characterize the spatial pattern of mortality due to liver cancer in the autonomous region of Guangxi Zhuang in southwest China. A database with liver cancer mortality data for 1971-1973, 1990-1992, and 2004-2005, including geographic locations and climate conditions, was constructed, and the appropriate associations were investigated. It was found that the regions with the highest mortality rates were central Guangxi with Guigang City at the center, and southwest Guangxi centered in Fusui County. Regions with the lowest mortality rates were eastern Guangxi with Pingnan County at the center, and northern Guangxi centered in Sanjiang and Rongshui counties. Regarding climate conditions, in the 1990s the mortality rate of liver cancer positively correlated with average temperature and average minimum temperature, and negatively correlated with average precipitation. In 2004 through 2005, mortality due to liver cancer positively correlated with the average minimum temperature. Regions of high mortality had lower average humidity and higher average barometric pressure than did regions of low mortality.
