  • Educated Youth Should Go to the Rural Areas: a Tale of Education, Employment and Social Values*
    Educated Youth Should Go to the Rural Areas: A Tale of Education, Employment and Social Values* Yang You† Harvard University This draft: July 2018 Abstract I use a quasi-random urban-dweller allocation in rural areas during Mao’s Mass Rustication Movement to identify human capital externalities in education, employment, and social values. First, rural residents acquired an additional 0.1-0.2 years of education from a 1% increase in the density of sent-down youth measured by the number of sent-down youth in 1969 over the population size in 1982. Second, as economic outcomes, people educated during the rustication period suffered from less non-agricultural employment in 1990. Conversely, in 2000, they enjoyed increased hiring in all non-agricultural occupations and lower unemployment. Third, sent-down youth changed the social values of rural residents who reported higher levels of trust, enhanced subjective well-being, altered trust from traditional Chinese medicine to Western medicine, and shifted job attitudes from objective cognitive assessments to affective job satisfaction. To explore the mechanism, I document that sent-down youth served as rural teachers with two new county-level datasets. Keywords: Human Capital Externality, Sent-down Youth, Rural Educational Development, Employment Dynamics, Social Values, Culture JEL: A13, N95, O15, I31, I25, I26 * This paper was previously titled and circulated, “Does living near urban dwellers make you smarter” in 2017 and “The golden era of Chinese rural education: evidence from Mao’s Mass Rustication Movement 1968-1980” in 2015.

This response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum. Questions 1. Does No 1 Harbin hospital exist and have there been any reports or allegations of organ harvesting at that hospital? 2. Any reports or allegations of organ harvesting in A’chen District, Ha’erbin, Heilongjiang China 3.Any significant protests against organ harvesting in this part of China that they applicant may have attended or would know about? 4. Details of particular hospitals or areas where it has been alleged that organ harvesting is taking place 5. If the applicant has conducted ‘research’ what sort of things might he know about? 6. Any prominent people or reports related to this topic that the applicant may be aware of. 7. Anything else of relevance. RESPONSE 1. Does No 1 Harbin hospital exist and have there been any reports or allegations of organ harvesting at that hospital? Sources indicate that ‘No 1 Harbin Hospital’ does exist. References also mention a No 1 Harbin Hospital that is affiliated with Harbin Medical University. No reports regarding organ harvesting at No 1 Harbin Hospital where found in the sources consulted. Falun Gong sources have however provided reports alleging organ harvesting activities within No.1 Hospital Affiliated to Harbin Medical School.

  • Concluding Remarks
    Concluding Remarks The bulk of secretory material necessary for the encapsulation of spermatozoa into a spermatophore is commonly derived from the male accessory organs of re­ production. Not surprisingly, the extraordinary diversity in size, shape, and struc­ ture of the spermatophores in different phyla is frequently a reflection of the equally spectacular variations in the anatomy and secretory performance of male reproductive tracts. Less obvious are the reasons why even within a given class or order of animals, only some species employ spermatophores, while others de­ pend on liquid semen as the vehicle for spermatozoa. The most plausible expla­ nation is that the development of methods for sperm transfer must have been in­ fluenced by the environment in which the animals breed, and that adaptation to habitat, rather than phylogeny, has played a decisive role. Reproduction in the giant octopus of the North Pacific, on which our attention has been focussed, pro­ vides an interesting example. During copulation in seawater, which may last 2 h, the sperm mass has to be pushed over the distance of 1 m separating the male and female genital orifices. The metre-long tubular spermatophore inside which the spermatozoa are conveyed offers an obvious advantage over liquid semen, which could hardly be hauled over such a long distance. Apart from acting as a convenient transport vehicle, the spermatophore serves other purposes. Its gustatory and aphrodisiac attributes, the provision of an ef­ fective barrier to reinsemination, and stimulation of oogenesis and oviposition are all of great importance. Absolutely essential is its function as storage organ for spermatozoa, at least as effective as that of the epididymis for mammalian spermatozoa.

[email protected] RESUMEN En este estudio se redescriben los géneros Allotruxalis y Eutryxalis con base en caracteres de la morfología externa y la genitalia. El género Allotruxalis constaba de dos especies: A. gracilis y A. strigata, las cuales eran separadas con base en carac- teres de la morfología externa. El análisis llevado a cabo en este estudio mostró que los caracteres de la morfología externa no permiten separar estas dos especies. Caracteres derivados de la genitalia interna son decisivos para postular a A. strigata como sinónimo de A. gracilis. El género Eutryxalis poseía a la especie E. filata y tres subespecies: E. f. filata, E. f. minor, y E. f. bellula, las cuales estaban descritas con base en caracteres de la morfología externa. Se llevó a cabo un análisis multivariado y se demuestra que los caracteres utilizados no permiten distinguir las tres entidades. Por lo tanto, se postula que las anteriores subespecies son sinóni- mos de E. filata. Palabras clave. Acrididae, Allotruxalis, Eutryxalis, Hyalopterygini, Sistemática. ABSTRACT In this study Allotruxalis and Eutryxalis are re-described based on characters from the external morphology and genitalia. The genus Allotruxalis comprised two species: A. gracilis and A. strigata, that were described based mostly on characters from external morphology.

Štúra 2,SK-96053 Zvolen, Slovakia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Montane grassy habitats in the Western Carpathians are relatively well preserved, maintain high species richness and are often important in accordance to the nature conservation policy in Europe. However, knowledge about the impact of farming on the habitat quality there is rather poor. The influence of various management types (permanent sheep pen, irregular grazing, mowing) on Orthoptera diversity and species determining assemblages of these habitats were analysed on 72 plots in Poľana Mts Biosphere Reserve. Altogether, 36 Orthoptera species (15 Ensifera, 21 Caelifera) were found, whereas the highest number of species was found on plots with irregular grazing (28 species), followed by plots with mown grass (17) and permanent sheep pens (14). All four measures of the assemblages’ diversity confirmed significant differences. Using Discriminant Function Analysis, correct classification rate of Orthoptera assemblages was unambiguous according to the type of management. Each form of the management harboured several characteristic species. Thus implications regarding the biodiversity conservation and grassland management were given. Key words: bush-crickets; grasshoppers; pasture; ecology; nature conservation Introduction or the influence of plant succession in meadows without any management (Marini et al. 2009).
