Executive Summary 1. The Yunnan Sustainable Road Maintenance (Sector) Project (the Project) is located in Yunnan Province in the People’s Republic of China. The Yunnan Department of Transport (YPDOT) is the executing agency and the Yunnan Highway Administration Bureau (YHAB) the implementing agency. The latter manages non-tolled national highways, provincial roads and important county roads in the province. Condition of the network has been deteriorating resulting in a reduced level of service and safety, increased transport costs and environmental degradation. 2. The Project includes four outputs: maintenance of 866.8 km of national, provincial and county roads (Output 1); pilot of performance-based maintenance contracts (Output 2); development of a road asset management system (Output 3); and institutional development to enhance the performance and sustainability of YHAB road maintenance (Output 4). Maintenance activities will be implemented over five years in four Phases. 3. Phase I and phase II lines have started preparatory works and construction activities, and the rest of the ADB loan Project has not yet started construction, and still been under preparation. 4. The project management offices of Phase I and phase II lines, the constructors and construction supervision companies performed their respective duties in accordance with the EMP. During implementation, environmental mitigation measures were carried out to reduce the impacts of construction on the surrounding environment and people’s health to the minimum as possible. They had minimized the pollution and improved local public transport.

  • Analysis of Language Landscape in Minority Areas Based on Domain Correlation
    2020 3rd International Conference on Arts, Linguistics, Literature and Humanities (ICALLH 2020) Analysis of Language Landscape in Minority Areas Based on Domain Correlation Lingyan Niu Yunnan Normal University, Kunming, Yunnan 650500, China Keywords: Ethnic minorities, Language landscape, Tourist attractions, Multilingual Abstract: As a carrier and medium for displaying information, language signs are visible in today's real world. Language is a sign of national identity. The emergence of minority languages in the language landscape can directly help members of the ethnic group to construct positive national identity. The study of public language signs in urban areas has become the research interest of many scholars all over the world, and gradually developed into the study of language landscape in a certain area now. Chuxiong Yi ancient town is a scenic spot located in minority areas. Based on the domain correlation analysis of its language landscape, this paper explores the characteristics of multilingual language use in tourist attractions in minority areas in order to promote the development of tourism in minority areas. 1. Introduction The concept of language landscape was formally put forward in 1997 and was introduced into China as a professional term in the past ten years. However, Chinese scholars began to study the relevant contents of language landscape as early as the end of 1970s. The purpose of language landscape research is to examine “the visibility and salience of language on public and commercial signs in a certain territory or region” [1]. Since the concept was put forward, the motivation and mechanism behind various signs and their language choices have been widely concerned by scholars.

Introduction 1. According to the Feasibility Study Report and RF, the Project involves neither land acquisition nor house demolition, and involves temporary land occupation only. This report aims to strengthen the development of ethnic minorities in the project area, and includes mitigation and benefit enhancing measures, and funding sources. The project area involves a number of ethnic minorities, including Yi, Hani and Lisu. B. Socioeconomic profile of ethnic minorities 2. Poverty and income: The Project involves 16 cities/prefectures in Yunnan Province.

Method: Eighty-four patients with cervical cancer were randomly selected. 84 samples of cancer tissues and their para-carcinoma tissues were ana- lyzed with regard to the following parameters: Galectin-1 and DNMT1 mRNA analyzed by RT-PCR, and galectin-1 and DNMT1 protein by western blotting. The relationships between the expressions of galectin-1 and DNMT1 protein, the clinicopathological factors, and the prognoses were analyzed. A correlation analysis was performed between the galectin-1 and DNMT1 protein expressions in the cervical cancer tissues. Result: The expressions of galectin-1 and DNMT1 mRNA and protein in the cervical cancer tissues were higher than they were in the para-carcinoma tis- sues (P<0.05).
