We combine the gray correlation analysis and multiple linear regression models to quantitatively predict water supply and demand in different planning years, which provide the basis for quantitative analysis of the WRCC. The selection of research indicators also considers the interaction of social economy, water resources, and water environment. Combined with the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, the gray corre- lation analysis and multiple linear regression models to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the WRCC under different social development plans.

Abstract. Objective: to investigate the effect of the process guidance method in basic nursing teaching of clinical nursing students. Method: to apply the process guidance method into clinical teaching to solve problems nursing students will encounter in their practice; to analyze the effect of teaching by questionnaires, nursing students operating completion rates and comprehensive evaluation results. Results: The operation (standardization) completing rates and comprehensive evaluation of the results from the experimental group are better than the control group. And the differences before using the process guidance method and after using it are statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion: The process guidance method enhances the effect of internship. It is a new clinical teaching mode of clinical applicability, which is worth being promoted. Due to the continuous development of medical technology, and the constant changes of medical industry service model, the medical care service environment is becoming increasingly complex, leading to the fundamental change of clinical nursing students practice environment. The standard of nursing profession is more and more valued by the National Health Department.

R. China, 130012 Abstract Bronze ornaments for girdles of the Mohe-Nuzhen tradition unearthed from sites at Mohe, Bohai, and Nuzhen can be classified into two phases. One phase overlaps both the Mohe and early Bohai periods. These bronze ornaments for girdles of the Sumo Mohe-Bohai tradition are mostly distributed in the valleys of Songhuajiang and Mudanjiang. The other phase is called the Nuzhen period, when bronze ornaments for girdles belonged to the Heishui Mohe-Bohai tradition, and are frequently seen in the Heilongjiang Valley. Keywords: Mohe, Nuzhen, bronze ornaments for girdles, archaeological research 1. Archaeological Discoveries Bronze ornaments for girdles (bronze, card-shaped, and attached on waistbands) of the Mohe-Nuzhen tradition are rectangular or round artifacts with various decoration patterns hollowed out on the surface and 2 to 4 raised fasteners on the back.

  • RRP Sector Assessment (Summary)
    Jilin Urban Development Project (RRP PRC 46048) SECTOR ASSESSMENT (SUMMARY): MULTISECTOR1 A. Sector Road Map 1. Sector Performance, Problems, and Opportunities 1. Following the implementation of reforms and accelerated industrialization in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), economic and urban growth have been rapid. During 1978–2013, the urban population increased from 170 million to 730 million, and the urbanization rate increased from 17.9% to 53.7%. The National Urbanization Strategy (2014–2020) and the PRC’s Twelfth Five-Year Plan indicate that urban development should continue, with the urbanization rate reaching 60% by 2020 (equivalent to 100 million new urban residents) and 70% by 2030 (300 million new urban residents).2 Urbanization is perceived as a main driving force in the effort to shift the economy from investment and exports to demand-driven, service-oriented growth. The National Urbanization Strategy and Twelfth Five-Year Plan also highlight the importance of quality in urbanization—in addition to accommodating the urban population, infrastructure should promote quality urbanization and best practices in municipal services to ensure urbanization is people-centered and resource efficient. However, this requires adequate financing for infrastructure investment and knowhow to manage services.3 2. From a spatial planning perspective, efforts to promote development of medium-sized cities are central to the PRC’s urbanization strategy.4 Mega cities and metropolitan clusters are a powerful economic driving force, but face increasing environmental and congestion challenges, which lead to significant territorial disparities, and exacerbate inequality. In response, the government has developed objectives and measures to decrease pressure on large cities, and encourage rural migration to smaller cities.5 Medium-sized cities account for one-third of the urban population, and have the potential to cluster economic activity, act as a vital link to remote areas, attract the local rural work force, and strengthen urban–rural integration.
