The proportion of elders preferred PHI as first contact-care in Qinghai was significant higher than that in Zhejiang. Family Methods: Data was from a cross-sectional survey in Zhejiang and Qinghai. We firstly compared elders’ choices of income, distance to nearest PHI and type of nearest health institution were significant factors affecting elders’ choices of first- first-contact care in two provinces. Then, we applied structural equation modeling to explore pathways from contact care in two provinces. Furthermore, along with the education and income level increasing, less Zhejiang elders selected socioeconomic status, accessibility, and health status to elders’ choices of first-contact care. PHI for first-contact care. In Qinghai, the time to nearest PHI was a significant factor related to choices. Results: The proportion of elders who selected primary health-care institutions as first-contact care in Qinghai was higher than that in Zhejiang. Socioeconomic status played an important role in Zhejiang model through direct and Pathways related to choice of first-contact care indirect ways. In Qinghai model, accessibility to primary health-care institutions was the leading cause for choosing The conceptual model based on theoretical considerations was used for analysis to obtain the optimal SEM, which was preferred first-contact care. theoretically meaningful and best fit our dataset. Modification indices suggested that some indicators in health status were Conclusions: A better understanding of complex pathways from factors to elders’ choices of first-contact care was allowed to co-vary. Thus, we modified them in two models accordingly. These two models had adequate fit. The squared essential which may inform priorities for maximizing the utilization of primary care further. multiple correlation calculated for choice of institutions was 0.611 in Zhejiang model and 0.289 in Qinghai model. Zhejiang model revealed statistically significant and negative direct effects from SES to choices of first-contact care, which implied that elders with higher SES didn’t prefer PHI as their first-contact care. Accessibility to PHI and health status had Methods positive direct effect on choices. That is, elders with better accessibility and better health status were more likely to choose PHI. Among these three latent factors, SES had the largest direct effect on choices followed by accessibility to PHI and health status. Data sources The indirect effect of SES on choices, through the mediating factor of health status, was positive and significant. After the sum Data used in this study was from a cross-sectional household survey conducted from June 2016 to August 2017 in Zhejiang and Qinghai province. The target population was residents of all ages lived in the survey area for more than 6 months. We adopted multi- of direct and indirect effects, we got a negative total effect of SES on preferred source of first-contact care. (Fig. 1) stage stratified cluster random sampling in this study. In the first stage, according to cluster analysis from the perspective of GDP in two In Qinghai model, only SES and accessibility to PHI had statistically significant direct effects on choices of first-contact care. provinces, we selected Jiashan county in Zhejiang and Chengxi district, Pingan district in Qinghai to represent developed areas; Jinyun Unlike Zhejiang model, accessibility to PHI had the largest direct effect on choices among three latent factors. SES had a county in Zhejiang and Huzhu county, Jianzha county in Qinghai to represent underdeveloped areas. In the second stage, one urban significant and positive direct effect on accessibility to PHI, which implied that those with higher SES had better accessibility to and one rural area were randomly selected from each county or district. In the third stage, a number of households were randomly PHI. In addition, SES had a significant and positive indirect impact on choices, through the factor of accessibility to PHI. To sum Fig.1. Zhejiang structural equation model standardized results selected in line with the proportion of registered population and migrant population. In selected household, we interviewed every up, total effects of SES on choice of first-contact care were slight and negative. (Fig. 2) residents who have lived in the survey area for more than 6 months. In total, 4900 participants in 1619 households were interviewed. Our questionnaire was designed based on the high-quality questionnaire of National Health Services Survey (NHSS), which was organized by Chinese government. After widely used in national surveys, the NHSS questionnaire had been shown to have high reliability and validity 19. According to NHSS questionnaire, our questionnaire covered the following parts: family general information, family member demographic information, health status (EQ-5D), chronic disease information, health service utilization (included illness information of participants in previous two weeks, and inpatient service utilization during last one year), satisfaction and accessibility to PHI and willingness of utilization of medical services. Before the survey, this questionnaire was reviewed and evaluated by experts from health administrative department, hospitals and universities to ensure its quality further. Face-to-face household interviews were Conclusions conducted by trained and qualified investigators. A fieldwork supervisor was arranged to monitor the investigation process and conduct quality control. 5% of the sampled households were randomly revisited to check accuracy of the collected data. In conclusion, this study explored the complex network of factors associated with elders’ choices The Ethics Committee of School of Public Health, Zhejiang University approved this study. Written informed consent for all participants in the survey were obtained before the survey. of first-contact care in Zhejiang and Qinghai province. In Zhejiang, a developed area, SES was the leading cause for preferred source of first-contact care. While in Qinghai, an underdeveloped Study samples Since elders usually use more medical resources than other age groups9, this study limited the samples to those aged above 60 province, accessibility to primary care played an important role. Policies should be tailored to local years old. Thus, 694 Zhejiang elders and 319 Qinghai elders from 4900 respondents were involved in analysis. Then three Zhejiang conditions. A better understanding of pathways to choices of first-contact care among elders was elders and six Qinghai elders with missing information were excluded. Therefore, the final sample size in analysis was 1004, of which 691 elders were from Zhejiang and 313 elders were from Qinghai. critical, as we still need to promote utilization of PHI and strengthen primary care system. Our findings highlighted three policy implications： Indicator Choice of first-contact care. In the model, choice of first-contact care was a dichotomous observed dependent variable (1 = Primary 1.it may be helpful to adopt policies to widen the gap of reimbursement ratio among different Health-care Institutions (PHI); 0 = Hospital). levels of health institutions to guide elders increasing utilization of PHI.

The government could make effort to increase the number and improve Accessibility to PHI. This latent variable included the distance to nearest PHI, the time to go to nearest PHI, and the nearest facilities was PHI or hospital. The higher value of this latent variable represents better accessibility to PHI. the ability of PHI, which would play an important role in optimizing the allocation and maximizing Health status. This latent variable included the mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression, chronic utilization of medical resources. diseases, and self-rated health status, with increasing values for worse health status. In addition, more time are needed for health reform to achieve, as systemic improvements will Statistical Analyses ineluctably take a long time and cannot be achieved overnight. We firstly made Chi square tests to compare differences in choices of first-contact care by factors in Zhejiang and Qinghai respectively. Then SEM 20 was used to estimate model fit of the data and analyze direct and indirect pathways related to elders’ choices. The goodness of fit of the model was assessed by root-mean-square

Keywords: Anonymous network, Network management, Message propagation model. Abstract. Locating the source of message diffusion in the anonymous network is vital for the network management and security. Existing works primarily focus on finding the disease propagation source in a normal network, few works have focused on tracing back the messages in an anonymous network. In this paper, we propose a method to enable us to identify the propagation source of the anonymous message. We are the first to use the message propagation model for the Crowds anonymous network. Based on the simulation study, we demonstrate that the effectiveness of our proposed method. Introduction Anonymous message helps people communicate privately with each other without disclosing their identities. In practice, several anonymous networks have been proposed, such as Crowds [1], Tor [2] and I2P [3] etc. Locating the message sender in the anonymous network is critical for network management and security. Researchers has demonstrated that through flow correlation [4,5] or website fingerprinting [6,7] attacks, the attacker can discover the message sender or the receiver in the anonymous network.

    2019 International Conference on Power, Energy, Environment and Material Science (PEEMS 2019) ISBN: 978-1-60595-669-5 The Spatio-Temporal Characteristics of the Coordinated Development of Urbanization and Resources Environmental Carrying Capacity in Lanzhou-Xining Urban Agglomeration Wei-ping ZHANG and Pei-ji SHI* School of Geography and Environmental Sciences, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, P.R. China *Corresponding author Keywords: Urbanization, Resource environmental carrying capacity, Coordination characteristics, Temporal and spatial patterns, Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration. Abstract. The coordination of urbanization and resources and environment is one of the key issues to promote regional social and economic development. This paper took Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration as the study area, constructed the evaluation index of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity first, and then used entropy method and the coordination degree model to measure the coordination of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity from 2005 to 2017. Results indicate that the overall index of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity of Lanzhou-Xining urban agglomeration shows an upward trend, and there are obvious spatial differences, especially between Lanzhou and Xining and the surrounding counties. The coordination degree of urbanization and resource environmental carrying capacity is between [0.5, 0.6), most of the counties are in a state of reluctance coordination, and the spatial distribution law of the degree is high in the east and low in the west. And the regional differences are gradually shrinking. There is a significant positive correlation between urbanization and capacity. The coordination status of Lanzhou and Xining provincial cities is relatively good, and the urbanization level is lower.

    Zhen et al. BMC Health Services Research (2018) 18:844 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-018-3658-9 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A comparative study of catastrophic health expenditure in Zhejiang and Qinghai province, China Xuemei Zhen1, Hao Zhang1,2, Xiaoqian Hu1, Shuyan Gu1, Yuanyuan Li1, Yuxuan Gu1, Minzhuo Huang1, Xueshan Sun1, Jingming Wei1 and Hengjin Dong1* Abstract Background: China has made great achievements in health insurance coverage and healthcare financing; however, the rate of catastrophic health expenditure (CHE) was 13.0% in China in 2008, which is higher than that in some other countries. There remain some differences in life-style, national customs, medical conditions, and health consciousness in different provinces in China. This study aimed to compare the rates of households with CHE, further to explore the different performance of factors influencing CHE between Zhejiang and Qinghai province, China. Methods: Data were derived from the household surveys conducted in Zhejiang and Qinghai. Sampling on multi- stage stratified cluster random method was adopted. Household with CHE occurs when the out-of-pocket payment for health care equals to or exceeds 40% of a household’s income. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to identify the performance of factors of CHE. Results: A total of 1598 households were included in this study, including 995 in Zhejiang and 603 in Qinghai. The average rates of CHE in Zhejiang and Qinghai were 9.6 and 30.5%, respectively. We found that economic status of households and households headed by an employed person are the protective factors for CHE; and number of members with chronic diseases and number of inpatients in household are the risk factors for CHE in the two provinces.
