Journal of Environmental Health June 2018, Volume 80, Number 10 E-Journal Article: Environmental Health and Justice in a Chinese Environmental Model City Supplemental Figures Supplemental Figure 1 Dalian’s location in China (A), Dalian’s administrative division (B), and former Jinzhou’s administrative division (C) including 24 townships, major polluters, the Dengshahe River, landfill areas, garbage dumps, and rural-urban divisions, based on a map compiled by Jinzhou New District Bureau of Development and Reform (unpublished data). The construction of Dengshahe Industrial Park started in 2006 when a major polluter, Dalian Steel, relocated from the Ganjingzi District and expanded at the new site. Smaller polluters associated with steel production followed, including Air Liquide (Dalian) Co., Ltd. and Dalian Huicheng Aluminum Co., Ltd. Jinzhou Hot-Dip Galvanizing, Ltd. relocated its more polluting production to the new site in Qidingshan Township in 2009 while keeping its less polluting production in Guangming Township. Dagushan Industrial Zone was established in the late 1990s and currently houses Western Pacific Petrochemicals, Fujia Dalian Chemicals, and Dalian Trico Chemical Co., Ltd. The western coast of Jinzhou has been the site of garbage dumps and landfills with solid waste from urban Dalian and urban Jinzhou.

Tuberculosis-Related Stigma and Its Determinants
Chen et al. BMC Public Health (2021) 21:6 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-10055-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Tuberculosis-related stigma and its determinants in Dalian, Northeast China: a cross-sectional study Xu Chen, Liang Du, Ruiheng Wu, Jia Xu, Haoqiang Ji, Yu Zhang, Xuexue Zhu and Ling Zhou* Abstract Background: The stigma of tuberculosis (TB) poses a significant challenge to TB control because it leads to delayed diagnosis and non-adherence. However, few studies on TB-related stigma have been completed in China. The aim of the current study was to explore the status of TB-related stigma and its associated predictive factors among TB patients in Dalian, Northeast China. Methods: An institution-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted among outpatients at Dalian Tuberculosis Hospital in Liaoning Province, Northeast China. Data were collected by using a questionnaire that measured TB- related stigma, treatment status, anxiety, social support, doctor-patient communication and so on. A multiple linear regression model was used to determine the predictors of TB-related stigma. Results: A total of 601 eligible participants were recruited. The mean score for TB-related stigma was 9.07, and the median score was 10. The average scores for anxiety, social support and doctor-patient communication were 4.03, 25.41 and 17.17, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that patients who were female (β = 1.19, 95% CI: 0.38–2.01, P < 0.05), had self-assessed moderate or severe disease (β = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.12–2.03 and β = 1.36, 95% CI: 0.03–2.70, respectively, P < 0.05), and had anxiety (β = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.30–0.46, P < 0.001) were more likely to have a greater level of TB-related stigma than their counterparts.

Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility
Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility Public Disclosure Authorized of Road Infrastructure through Public Participation East Asia and Pacific Region Transport, This note describes a number of innovations taken by some Chinese cities, in particular Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, to ensure that urban transport systems are more accessible for the mobility-challenged. Public participation by disabled residents in Liaoning Province in northeast China has increased awareness and consideration for special needs in the design and implementation of road infrastructure. Jinzhou has convened a series of meetings inviting public participation on the issue of improving traffic infrastructure for use by disabled people. With the introduction of some low or no-cost features, the principle of “people first” for urban transport has Public Disclosure Authorized been put into practice. People with mobility impairments in cities around the world have long struggled to have their special needs accommodated in the design of urban infrastructure. The quality of life for citizens is reduced when they cannot take full advantage of roads, sidewalks and other transport facilities. Recently, significant progress has been made in the developed world to consider the needs of those with full or partial disabilities such as blindness and paralysis by implementing a number of features including textured pavements, curb cuts, safety islands, countdown and audible crossing signals. The World Bank has been working with various clients in China to identify ways to effectively introduce public participation in the infrastructure planning and implementation process. A structured Public Disclosure Authorized consultation process can help with particular needs, especially those of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users that require special attention to detail and coordination between multiple agencies such as designers, builders, operators, maintenance, and law enforcement officials.

Abstract: A person’s living behavior patterns are closely related to three types of settlements: real-life settlements, imagined settlements, and pseudo-settlements. The term “pseudo-settlement” (PS) refers to the places that are selectively recorded and represented after the mass media chose and restructure the residence information. As the mass media rapidly develops and people’s way of obtaining information gradually change, PS has already become one of the main ways for people to recognize and understand real-life settlements, as well as describe their impressions of imagined settlements. PS also has a profound impact on tourism, employment, investment, migration, real estate development, etc. Thus, the study of PSs has important theoretical and practical signiﬁcance. This paper proposes to put forward residential quarters where the mass media is displayed as the object of study and establishes the pseudo-settlement index system of Dalian in and elaborate analysis of the concept of PSs.

Based on DEA model and from the viewpoint of constant scale return and changing scale return, this paper calculates the comprehensive rela- tive efficiency and scale relative efficiency of the infrastructure investment in Liaoning Coastal Economic Belt in 2000-2009, and draws the following conclusion: Infrastructure investments in Dalian, Jinzhou and Panjin are compre- hensively relative efficient, while infrastructure investments in Dandong,Yingkou and Huhudao are comprehensively relative inefficient. Infrastructure investments in Yingkou and Huludao are technically efficient, but inefficient in the sense of scale, and are taking increasing scale returns, while the infrastructure investment in Dandon is inefficient from both the technology and scale senses, and is showing a decreasing scale return.

International Forum on Management, Education and Information Technology Application (IFMEITA 2016) The Allocation of Asset Structure Based on the Economies of Scale – Taking Listed Manufacturing Companies for Example ZHANG Yuemei1,a, ZHANG Fang1,b 1School of Management, Dalian University of Technology, No.2 Linggong Road, Ganjingzi District, Dalian City, Liaoning Province, P.R.C. [email protected], [email protected] Keywords: Economies of Scale; Asset Structure; Data Envelopment Analysis Abstract. With economies of scale as the objectives and constraints, the optimal allocation of enterprises’ asset structure was discussed. The main contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) Economic efficiency of scale from 2007 to 2011 in various sub-industries of manufacturing was obtained. (2) After empirical analysis and comparative study of the relationship between economic efficiency of scale and asset structure, we arrived at optimization direction of the enterprises which are at economies scale and diseconomies scale. Introduction In recent years, with the outbreak of global financial crisis, a large number of enterprises went bankrupt. Some of these enterprises broke their cash flow due to shortage of funds, and the others made bad investment decisions and invested large amount of money into assets with weak liquidity. In terms of asset structure, the reason of bankruptcy for above enterprises is that the number of current assets and long-term assets does not match. Nobel Prize in Economics awarded Alvin Roth and Lloyd Shapley in 2012 to commend their contribution on "Stable Matching Theory and Practice of Market Design". It is obvious that the problem of matching has an important value in economic development.
