  • Annual Report 2000 Corporate Structure
    CHARACTERISTICS OF THE GROWTH ENTERPRISE MARKET (“GEM”) OF THE STOCK EXCHANGE OF HONG KONG LIMITED (THE “EXCHANGE”) GEM has been established as a market designed to accommodate companies to which a high investment risk may be attached. In particular, companies list on GEM with neither track record of profitability nor any obligation forecast future profitability. Furthermore, there may be risks arising out of the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM and the business sectors or countries in which the companies operate. Prospective investors should be aware of the potential risks of investing in such companies and should make the decision to invest only after due and careful consideration. The greater risk profile and other characteristics of GEM mean that it is a market more suited to professional and other sophisticated investors. Given the emerging nature of companies listed on GEM, there is a risk that securities traded on GEM may be more susceptible to highmarket volatility than securities traded on the Main Board and no assurance is given that there will be a liquid market in the securities traded on GEM. The principal means of information dissemination on GEM is publication on the internet website operated by the Exchange. Listed companies are not generally required to issue paid announcements in gazetted newspapers. Accordingly, prospective investors should note that they need to have access to the GEM website in order to obtain up-to-date information on GEM-listed issuers.

  • Analysis of Spatial-Temporal Distribution of Notifiable Respiratory
    Li et al. BMC Public Health (2021) 21:1597 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-021-11627-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Analysis of spatial-temporal distribution of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases in Shandong Province, China during 2005– 2014 Xiaomei Li1†, Dongzhen Chen1,2†, Yan Zhang3†, Xiaojia Xue4, Shengyang Zhang5, Meng Chen6, Xuena Liu1* and Guoyong Ding1* Abstract Background: Little comprehensive information on overall epidemic trend of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases is available in Shandong Province, China. This study aimed to determine the spatiotemporal distribution and epidemic characteristics of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases. Methods: Time series was firstly performed to describe the temporal distribution feature of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases during 2005–2014 in Shandong Province. GIS Natural Breaks (Jenks) was applied to divide the average annual incidence of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases into five grades. Spatial empirical Bayesian smoothed risk maps and excess risk maps were further used to investigate spatial patterns of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases. Global and local Moran’s I statistics were used to measure the spatial autocorrelation. Spatial- temporal scanning was used to detect spatiotemporal clusters and identify high-risk locations. Results: A total of 537,506 cases of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases were reported in Shandong Province during 2005–2014. The morbidity of notifiable respiratory infectious diseases had obvious seasonality with high morbidity in winter and spring. Local Moran’s I analysis showed that there were 5, 23, 24, 4, 20, 8, 14, 10 and 7 high-risk counties determined for influenza A (H1N1), measles, tuberculosis, meningococcal meningitis, pertussis, scarlet fever, influenza, mumps and rubella, respectively.

  • Emerging Development and Cooperation in Land Use Planning Along the Yellow River Under New Regionalism 47Th ISOCARP Congress 2011
    Fang Wei Emerging Development and Cooperation in Land Use Planning along the Yellow River under New Regionalism 47th ISOCARP Congress 2011 Emerging Development and Cooperation in Land Use Planning along the Yellow River under New Regionalism: A Case Study by Jinan City, Shandong Province, China 1 INTRODUCTION Bearing some resemblance to North America in the early 1990s, China is currently issuing various regional developments and spatial planning strategies, aiming to coordinate development of various cities in regional context. In the final period of 11th Five Year Plan, almost 30 planning documents have been released in 2009 and 2010, which involved not only the traditional urban regions such as Lower Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, but also some less developed provinces in Middle and Western China (Jin, 2011). Among these initiatives, plans can be categorized into two kinds: one is of policy zone(Zhengce Qu) and the other is of comprehensive reform experimental zone (Zonghe Gaige Shiyan Qu) (Figure 1). Meanwhile, a serious of territorial plans has also been drafted such as national urban system planning, national main function plan, etc. The dynamic initiatives mentioned above demonstrated the great ambition from different departments of central state to inspire and ordinate newly developing local-level region. This trend has been accelerated by establishment of intra- and inter-regional mass transit infrastructure. High Speed Railway (HSR) between Beijing and Shanghai is the most significant case. It is expected such transit infrastructure will serve for compressing time-space among the cities and will in favor of tourism, tertiary industry and communication for future development.

    Research on flavonoids contents in Fructus sophorae with capillary zone electrophoresis Qiang Shi1,2*, Lu-zhi Sui3 and Yuan-qi Lu1* 1Analysis and Testing Centre, Dezhou University, University West Road 566, Dezhou, PR China 2Pharmaceutical Research and Development Centre, Dezhou University, University West Road 566, Dezhou, PR China 3Dezhou Environmental Monitoring Centre, Jinghua Street 326, Dezhou, PR China Abstract: Genistin, genistein, kaempferol, quercetin and rutin, five kinds of flavonoids in Fructus sophorae, have been analyzed by capillary zone electrophoresis with internal standard calibration. Buffer pH and concentration, applied voltage, β-cyclodextrin and ethanol concentration were optimized and the optimum conditions are: 20 mmol/L borax (pH 9.5) with 8 mmol/L β-cyclodextrin and 5% (v/v) ethanol and at a voltage of 25 kV. The contents of five flavonoids in Fructus Sophorae grown in different area of Dezhou, Shandong Province of China were determined by the developed method and with satisfactory results. The distributions of the studied flavonoids were also investigated. Keywords: β-cyclodextrin (β-CD); Capillary Zone Electrophoresis (CZE); flavonoids; genistin; genistein; kaempferol; quercetin; rutin. INTRODUCTION So far, flavonoids in Fructus sophorae have been analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography The flavonoids, which have a large family of over 4000 (HPLC) (Bian et al., 2005; Pan et al., 2004; He et al., compounds and possessed the capacity of radical 2012; Liu et al., 2011) and high-performance capillary absorbance, have many medical effects and are active electrophoresis (Chen et al., 2002). Nevertheless, the constituents of many Chinese herbal medicines (Merken analysis time is relatively long (Bian et al., 2005; Pan et and Beecher, 2000).

The measurement method formulates three research objectives. First, the shrinking intensity and characteristics are analyzed according to statistics about the average annual rate of population growth, the primary production proportion, and public expenditure. Second, the influence factors are explored. Living standards, industrial development, social input, and public resource indicators are selected to quantitatively identify the push factors and pull factors and the correlated relationship of how the factors influence the population decline using ridge regression. Finally, the circular feedback mechanism and push-pull effect of multiple factors are explained. How do the factors affect each other and which is the decisive factor shaping county shrinkage? The push-pull mechanism is analyzed using dynamic relationship testing and Citation: Wang, M.; Yang, S.; Gao, H.; the Granger causality test.
