Application of AHP Method and TOPSIS Method in Comprehensive Economic Strength Evaluation of Major Cities in Guizhou Province 2017 International Conference on Computer Science and Application Engineering (CSAE 2017) ISBN: 978-1-60595-505-6 Application of AHP Method and TOPSIS Method in Comprehensive Economic Strength Evaluation of Major Cities in Guizhou Province Liang Zhou*, Changdi Shi and Liming Luo Information Engineering College, Capital Normal University, 100048 Beijing, China ABSTRACT This paper establishes the comprehensive economic strength evaluation system of major cities in Guizhou province, and puts forward the evaluation model of comprehensive economic strength of major cities in Guizhou province based on the AHP method and the TOPSIS method. The AHP method was used to determine the weight of evaluation indicator. The TOPSIS method is used to calculate the positive and negative ideal solutions, analyses the case, and then the final ranking of the comprehensive economic strength of the major cities in Guizhou province. The result shows that the final ranking, from high to low, of comprehensive economic strength of the major cities in Guizhou province is: Guiyang, Zunyi, Liupanshui, Tongren and Anshun. The evaluation system of the comprehensive economic strength indicator of the major cities in Guizhou province has a certain practicability, which provides an evaluation basis in comprehensive economic strength for the major cities in Guizhou province. INTRODUCTION In recent years, with the establishment of large data centers and the promulgation of precision poverty alleviation policies, the national economy and social development of the major cities in Guizhou have made breakthrough progress, but the cities developed unevenly, so it is necessary to explore how to establish a good and scientific comprehensive economic evaluation system. This paper is focused on evaluating the comprehensive economic strength of major cities in Guizhou province effectively. Selection among alternatives depends on a set of different conflicting criteria that have different optimization directions and different measurement units. The MCDM methods can be used on the national, organizational and project levels. However, most assessment methods are intended only for economic objectives (Sivilevičius et al., 2008). An appropriate mechanism for supporting management practices at an early research on a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making algorithm, which integrated the principles of fusion of fuzzy information, additive ratio assessment method with fuzzy numbers (ARAS-F), fuzzy weighted-product model and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Karabasevic et al. (2016) introduced an approach for the selection based on the SWARA and ARAS methods under uncertainties (Keršulienė & Turskis 2011). Turskis and Juodagalvienė (2016) introduced a hybrid MCDM model, which was based on ten different MCDM methods: Game Theory, AHP, and SAW, Multiplicative Exponential Weighting, TOPSIS, and EDAS, ARAS, Full Multiplicative Form, Laplace Rule, and Bayes Rule, is useful to solve complicated problems. Zavadskas et al. (2013) integrated ELECTRE IV, MULTIMOORA, SWARA-TOPSIS, 687 SWARA-ELECTRE III, SWARA, and VIKOR to assess, rank and select the best alternatives. Štreimikienė et al. (2016) paper presented the process of choice such multiple criteria decision-making methods as AHP and ARAS. Stanujkic et al. (2017) proposed using the EDAS method with grey numbers. Zavadskas et al. (2016) overviewed developments of TOPSIS method (Hwang & Yoon, 1981; Yoon, 1980) to solve different complicated problems in recent two decades. There are some new MCDM methods MABAC (Gigović, LJ., 2017) and MAIRCA have been used to assess, rank and select the best alternatives (Pamučar, D., Ćirović,G, 2015; Pamučar, D. et al, 2017). On the basis of summing up the previous comprehensive economic assessment, this paper used the method of classical AHP and TOPSIS to rank the comprehensive economic strength of major cities in Guizhou province. Firstly, AHP method was used to construct the evaluation indicator system, and calculate the weight of evaluation indicator. Secondly, TOPSIS method was used to calculate the positive and negative ideal solutions, and then the case analysis was carried out to solve the final ranking of the evaluation target, which provided the basis for the self-evaluation of the comprehensive economic strength of the major cities in Guizhou province. MODEL CONSTRUCTION Determination of Indicator Weight Based on AHP Many factors affect the level of comprehensive economic development of major cities in Guizhou province, such as the geographical locations of the cities, the characteristics of industrial structure and the characteristics of cultural exchange, it is difficult to quantitatively measure the level of economic development of these cities, and thus how to evaluate the economic development level of major cities in Guizhou province scientifically and efficiently is the focus of this paper. According to the basic principles and solving steps of AHP, stratify the comprehensive economic evaluation indicator of major cities in Guizhou province. The target layer is the comprehensive economy of the major cities in Guizhou province. The first level includes five indicators, which include economic aggregate indicator B1, industrial structure indicator B2, wealth level indicator B3, foreign trade and tourism indicator B4, and standard of living indicator B5. The second level includes ten indicators that contain regional GDP C11, total investment in fixed assets C12, total value of agricultural output C21, industrial-added value C22, GDP per capita C31, per capita revenue C32, total import and export volume C41, total tourism revenue C42, disposable income per capita of urban residents C51, and disposable income per capita of rural residents C52. The evaluated objects are Guiyang city D1, Zunyi city D2, Tongren city D3, Liupanshui city D4, Anshun city D5. Wi represents the combined weight. The indicator system is shown in Figure 1. 688 Figure 1. Comprehensive economic indicator system of major cities in Guizhou province. The original data collected by the Guizhou Provincial Bureau of Statistics in 2013 are shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. Raw data table. Determining the Weight of Evaluation Indicators The rationality of the setting economic indicator weight is directly related to the scientific rigor of the evaluation structure. This paper invited the experts in the economic field to discuss the importance of the indicators with the real data collected by the Provincial Bureau of Statistics in 2013. The judgment matrix rule in AHP, which is shown in TABLE I, was used to determine the weight of each indicators. The author calculated the weight according to the AHP solving steps. The AHP solving steps are shown in Figure 3. W = [ω1 , ω2, ..., ωn], Wi and λmax were calculated as what is shown in (1). 689 TABLE I. RELATIVELY IMPORTANT DEGREE JUDGMENT MATRIX.

  • Mercury Accumulation in Vegetable Houttuynia Cordata Thunb. from Two
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Mercury accumulation in vegetable Houttuynia cordata Thunb. from two diferent geological areas in southwest China and implications for human consumption Qingfeng Wang1,2*, Zhonggen Li1,2, Xinbin Feng2, Ao Wang4, Xinyu Li2,3, Dan Wang1 & Leilei Fan1 Houttuynia cordata Thunb. (HCT) is a common vegetable native to southwest China, and grown for consumption. The results suggested that THg contents in all parts and MeHg in underground parts of HCT in Hg mining areas were much higher than those in non-Hg mining areas. The highest THg and MeHg content of HCT were found in the roots, followed by the other tissues in the sequence: roots > leaves > rhizomes > aboveground stems (THg), and roots > rhizomes > aboveground stems > leaves (MeHg). The average THg bioaccumulation factor (BCF) of HCT root in the Hg mining area and in non-Hg mining areas could reach 1.02 ± 0.71 and 0.99 ± 0.71 respectively, indicating that HCT is a Hg accumulator. And the THg and MeHg contents in all tissues of HCT, including the leaves, were signifcantly correlated with THg and MeHg content in the soil. Additionally, preferred dietary habits of HCT consumption could directly afect the Hg exposure risk. Consuming the aboveground parts (CAP) of HCT potentially poses a high THg exposure risk and consuming the underground parts (CUP) may lead to a relatively high MeHg exposure risk. Only consuming the rhizomes (OCR) of the underground parts could signifcantly reduce the exposure risk of THg and to some extent of MeHg. In summary, HCT should not be cultivated near the Hg contaminated sites, such as Hg tailings, as it is associated with a greater risk of Hg exposure and high root Hg levels, and the roots should be removed before consumption to reduce the Hg risk.

Abstract: The construction and development of the expressway network has far-reaching significance for the economic growth of Guizhou Province. In this paper, ArcGIS was used to calculate the nodal accessibility, daily accessibility and regional average accessibility of the expressway network in Guizhou Province, and the evolution of the spatial pattern of accessibility under the influence of expressways in Guizhou Province from 2012 to 2019 was analyzed through three different dimensions of accessibility indicators. The results show that with the continuous construction of expressways, the accessibility of the whole province continues to improve. Guiyang, as the provincial capital city, improved the accessibility of expressways the most during the last 7 years. However, due to the inequality of resources, there are still spatial differences in traffic capacity between cities and cities.

    Luo et al. BMC Med Genomics (2021) 14:97 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12920-021-00944-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prevalence and clinical phenotype of the triplicated α-globin genes and its ethnic and geographical distribution in Guizhou of China Xi Luo1, Xiang‑mei Zhang1, Liu‑song Wu1, Jindong Chen2,3,4† and Yan Chen1*† Abstract Background: α‑thalassemia is relatively endemic in Guizhou province of southwestern China. To predict the clini‑ cal manifestations of α‑globin gene aberration for genetic counseling, we examined the prevalence of the α‑globin triplication and the genotype–phenotype correlation in this subpopulation Methods: A cohort of 7644 subjects was selected from nine ethnicities covering four regions in Guizhou province of China. Peripheral blood was collected from each participant for routine blood testing and hemoglobin electropho‑ resis. PCR‑DNA sequencing and Gap‑PCR were used to identify the thalassemia gene mutations. Chi‑square tests and one‑way analysis of variance (ANOVA) were used to statistically analyze the data. Results: We found that the frequency of α‑globin triplication in Guizhou province was 0.772% (59/7644). Genotypi‑ cally, the αααanti4.2/αα accounted for 0.523% (40/7644), the αααanti3.7/αα for 0.235% (18/7644), and the αααanti3.7/–SEA for 0.013% (1/7644). The αααanti4.2/αα is more prevalent than the αααanti3.7/αα in Guizhou. In addition, the frequency of the HKαα/αα (that by GAP‑PCR is like αααanti4.2/‑α3.7) was 0.235% (18/7644). Ethnically, the Tujia group presented the highest prevalence (2.47%) of α‑globin triplication.

  • For Personal Use Only Use Personal for a Loan That Mr Zhang Claimed Had Been Guaranteed by PRC DSX
    5 May 2017 Elizabeth Harris Principal Advisor ASX Listing Compliance Level 40, Central Park 152-158 St Georges Terrace PERTH WA 6000 Dear Ms Harris ASX Query: Ding Sheng Xin Finance Co. Limited We refer to your letter dated 24 April 2017 in which you have sought a response from the Company in relation to questions raised by the ASX regarding judgements made involving the Company’s subsidiary (“PRC DSX”) in the People’s Republic of China. In response to ASX’s queries, the Company advises as follows: 1. It is a natural consequence of the nature of PRC DSX business, being guaranteeing the repayment of loans and other specific performances, that it will be involved in legal processes. Where lenders seek recovery of loans following any default of the performance of borrowers, and that borrower is a client of PRC DSX and their repayment obligations are guaranteed by PRC DSX, PRC DSX will be named in the relevant legal processes. Accordingly, PRC DSX has been and is likely to continue to be a party to legal processes and by extension to have judgements made against it in its capacity as guarantor. PRC DSX processes are such that if a client defaults and a judgement is made against that client, and by extension PRC DSX, PRC DSX then seeks to renegotiate the terms of the obligation on behalf of the client. If that process is successful the judgement is no longer relevant and is withdrawn, however if that process is not successful PRC DSX makes the payments on behalf of the client and proceeds to seek recovery from the client.

    energies Article Decomposition of Industrial Electricity Efficiency and Electricity-Saving Potential of Special Economic Zones in China Considering the Heterogeneity of Administrative Hierarchy and Regional Location Jianmin You 1,2, Xiqiang Chen 1 and Jindao Chen 1,* 1 School of Economics and Statistics, Guangzhou University, Guangzhou 510006, China; [email protected] (J.Y.); [email protected] (X.C.) 2 Guizhou Institute of Local Modernized Governance, Guizhou Academy of Social Science, Guiyang 550002, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Special Economic Zones (SEZs), an important engine of industrial economic development in China, consume large amounts of energy resources and emit considerable CO2. However, existing research pays little attention to industrial energy usage in SEZs and ignores the heterogeneity of administrative hierarchy and regional location. Considering the dual heterogeneity, this study proposes an improved two-dimension and two-level meta-frontier data envelopment analytical model to decompose the industrial electricity efficiency (IEE) and electricity-saving potential of SEZs in Guizhou Province, China, based on 4-year field survey data (2016–2019). Results show that the IEE Citation: You, J.; Chen, X.; Chen, J. rankings of three administrative hierarchies within SEZs are provincial administration SEZs, county Decomposition of Industrial Electricity Efficiency and administration SEZs, and municipality administration SEZs. The SEZs located in energy resource- Electricity-Saving Potential of rich areas and better ecological environmental areas have higher IEE than those in resource-poor Special Economic Zones in China areas and ecology fragile areas, respectively. This study can provide reference for policymakers to Considering the Heterogeneity of formulate effective policies for improving the electricity use efficiency of SEZs in China.
