Assessment of Development Objective and Design, and of Quality at Entry 3.1 Original Objective: Background. Rapid growth in the industrial and service sectors in Shandong Province (SP) over the past two decades resulted in serious environmental degradation in urban areas, particularly in the capital city of Jinan, in the coastal cities of Qingdao, Weihai and Yantai, and in Zibo in the Xiaoqing River Basin (XRB). With Shandong's vast coal deposits, thermal power generation, industrial process heating and residential heating, all use coal as their primary energy source. This level of coal use resulted in Shandong having the largest mass emissions of SO2 among China’s provinces. Pollution in the Xiaoqing River (XR), posed serious threats to human health, and to economic development. By the mid-90s, Shandong Province (SP) had invested heavily in industrial pollution control, principally in wastewater treatment and air pollution control. At the same time, concerns were growing over the reliability of Jinan’s water supply due to over-abstraction of groundwater and its deteriorating water quality. Groundwater was supplemented with supplies from impounding reservoirs and direct abstractions from the Yellow River. The long-term water resources management strategy of the Province was to construct reliable surface water sources, conserve groundwater, and adopt water reuse in industry. Against this background, SP requested Bank assistance for the Shandong Environment Project. The project had the following objectives: (a) strengthen policies, regulations and institutional arrangements for municipal water, wastewater, and district heating, and environmental pollution prevention and control; (b) expand surface water supply to Jinan to prevent further depletion of groundwater aquifers; (c) facilitate sustainable management of investments in pollution control and municipally-provided urban environmental services; and (d) arrange for updating the information data base with respect to water quality and management of the XRB. Assessment of Objectives. The project's objectives were in line with the Bank’s Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) which was discussed by the Board in June 1995, and which highlighted environmental protection and reducing infrastructure bottlenecks as two of the five areas of strategic focus. The objectives were consistent with China’s Environmental Action Plan (EAP), which provided the basis for joint Government-Bank programs in the environmental sector, and the provincial government’s strategy to address serious pollution issues associated with its rapid industrial growth. Specifically, the project objectives were fully consistent with the Provincial Government's XRB Environmental Action Plan (EAP), which addressed the serious pollution issues of the Basin and in the Xiaoqing River, which flows to the environmentally sensitive Bohai Sea. Objectives also focused on the looming water scarcity, development of a reliable surface water source for Jinan to arrest the depletion of groundwater resources, and serious air pollution in two key coastal cities. Lastly, the project focused on policy, regulatory and institutional reforms in the implementing utility companies. Project objectives correctly focused on SP’s priority environmental problems and were clear and realistic. The objectives reflect recognition of the priority need for regulatory and institutional reform, relieving Jinan’s water scarcity, and preventing, reducing and controlling of air and wastewater pollution. At the same time, the project was challenging due to its spatial distribution, the fact that it covered three sectors in three cities, and it also dealt with reforms in district heating, an area where China had limited experience. 3.2 Revised Objective: n.a. 3.3 Original Components: - 2 - The project had five components, for a total project cost of US$202 million. (a) Jinan Water Supply Management ($62.6 million). Development of a reliable new surface water source, adequate for about 20 years, from the Yellow River for Jinan, to supply raw water to a newly constructed water treatment plant of 400,000 m3/day capacity, including pumping stations, water transmission and distribution pipelines, and associated engineering works. (b) Jinan Wastewater Management ($36.5 million). Construction of a wastewater collection network comprising about 18 km of trunk sewers, about 17 km of secondary and link sewers, a pumping station, and property connections, to convey wastewater to a newly constructed wastewater treatment plant of 220,000 m3/day capacity. (c) Weihai Municipal District Heating ($42.9 million). Construction of a combined heat and power generation plant of about 24 MWe electricity and 120 MWt heat capacity, 13.7 km heat and 14.2 km hot water distribution networks and facilities, and heat exchange stations, to reduce inefficiencies in coal-fired small boilers and stoves. (d) Yantai Municipal District Heating ($46.1 million). Construction of a heat exchange plant, about 30 km of distribution networks and heat exchange stations for about

We aimed to determine the prevalence, risk factors, and associated medical costs of CT among residents, 18–49 years of age, in Shandong, China. Methods: From May to August 2016, a multistage probability sampling survey involving 8074 individuals was distributed. Data were collected via face-to-face interviews, followed by self-administered questionnaire surveys. First-void urines were collected and tested for CT and Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) using nucleic acid amplification. Results: The weighted prevalence of CT infection was 2.3% (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.5–3.2) in females and 2.7% (1. 6–3.8) in males. Women, 30–34 years of age, had the highest prevalence of CT infections (3.5%, 2.6–4.4), while the highest prevalence of CT infections in males was in those 18–24 years of age (4.3%, 0.0–8.8).

It has been shown that microRNA-146 (miR-146) is involved in the regulation of immune and inflammatory responses. The present study explored the protective effects of miR-146 overexpression on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-mediated injury in A549 and H1975 cells. In this study, A549 and H1975 cells were transfected with miR-146 mimic or inhibitor, and then were subjected with LPS. Thereafter, cell viability, colony formation capacity, apoptosis, the release of proinflammatory factors, Sirt1 expression, and the expression of NF-jB and Notch pathway proteins were respectively assessed. As a result, miR- 146 overexpression exerted protective functions on LPS-damaged A549 and H1975 cells, as evidenced by the increases in cell viability and colony number, the decrease in apoptotic cell rate, as well as the down-regulations of IL-1, IL-6, and TNF- a.

  • Fiscal Reform and Land Public Finance: Zouping County In
    Fiscal Reform and Land Public 7 Finance: Zouping County in National Context h SUSAN H. WHITING and has become a key source of fi scal revenue for local governments in China. LAs the value of land has increased with urbanization and economic development, local governments have sought to exploit their control over land in order to gener- ate both on- and off - budget revenue. Scholars and policy makers have come to refer to this phenomenon as “land public fi nance.” Th is chapter argues that land public fi nance is in large part an outgrowth of trends in central- local fi scal relations. During the course of China’s transition from a planned to a market economy, central- local fi scal relations have undergone a series of fundamental reforms. Cur- rent challenges grow out of a number of features of the Chinese po liti cal economy, the most important of which is the mismatch between the allocation of revenues and the assignment of expenditure responsibilities across levels of government. Local governments— county governments in particular— oft en lack adequate rev- enues within the formal fi scal system to fi nance the wide range of public goods and ser vices they are mandated by higher levels to provide. Th e mismatch between revenues and expenditure responsibilities leads to heavy reliance on intergovern- mental fi scal transfers that, nonetheless, have not yet eff ectively redressed revenue inadequacy or the high levels of in e qual ity that have emerged in the context of economic reform. Th is fi scal gap drives additional problems, including the growth of hidden government debts and off - budget funds at the local level.

  • Land-Use Efficiency in Shandong (China)
    sustainability Article Land-Use Efficiency in Shandong (China): Empirical Analysis Based on a Super-SBM Model Yayuan Pang and Xinjun Wang * Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 20 November 2020; Accepted: 14 December 2020; Published: 18 December 2020 Abstract: A reasonable evaluation of land-use efficiency is an important issue in land use and development. By using a super-SBM model, the construction and cultivated land-use efficiency of 17 cities in Shandong from 2006 to 2018 were estimated and the spatial-temporal variation was analyzed. The results showed that: (1) The land use efficiency levels were quite different, and low-efficiency cities impacted the overall development process. (2) The efficiency values of construction land generally fluctuated and rose, meaning that room remains for future efficiency improvements. Cultivated land generally showed a high utilization efficiency, but it fluctuated and decreased. (3) The construction land-use efficiency was highest in the midland region, especially in Laiwu city, followed by the eastern region and Qingdao city, and the western region. The spatial variation in cultivated land presented a trend of “high in the middle, low in the periphery,” centered on Jinan and Yantai city. (4) Pure technical efficiency was the main restriction driving inefficient utilization in the western region, while scale efficiency played that role in the east. Based on the findings, policy suggestions were proposed to improve the land-use efficiency in Shandong and promote urban sustainable development. Keywords: land use; efficiency level; super-SBM model; Shandong Province; construction land; cultivated land 1.
