Date:22/02/2019 ii Abstract Background In the past decades, China has experienced one of the fastest ageing processes in the world. Alongside the demographic transition, there is a dramatic increase in age-related disability. Currently, vision loss is the leading cause of age-related disability in developing countries. Age-related eye diseases (AREDs), mainly including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, cataract and diabetic retinopathy, are primarily degenerative diseases in older people, whose burden is expected to increase with demographic ageing. This thesis aims to estimate the prevalence and burden of AREDs in China. Methods I searched three Chinese and three English bibliographic databases, namely China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, Chinese Biomedicine Literature Database (CBM-SinoMed), PubMed, Embase and Medline for studies of the prevalence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataract, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in China. For diseases where a single study could contribute multiple stratum-specific (e.g. age-specific and sex-specific) data points, a multilevel mixed-effects meta-regression was applied to generate the stratum-specific prevalence estimates of disease. For diseases where only study-level prevalence estimates were available, a random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to generate the pooled prevalence. By applying the estimated stratum-specific prevalence (or pooled prevalence) to the corresponding population data, available from the United Nations Population Division (UNPD), the national number of affected people was determined. By taking the geographic effects, the national number of cases was finally distributed into the six geographic regions (East China, North China, Northeast China, Northwest China, South Central China, Southwest China) in China. Results For estimating the prevalence and burden of AMD, 25 eligible studies were identified in the systematic review. The prevalence of any AMD ranged from 2.44% (95% CI: 1.85-3.22) in people aged 45-49 years to 18.98% (95% CI: 15.05-23.66) in people aged 85-89 years. iii Prevalence of early AMD ranged from 1.79% (95% CI: 1.05-3.02) to 10.05% (95% CI: 6.17- 15.97), and, in the case of late AMD, from 0.38% (95% CI: 0.16-0.97) to 3.88% (95% CI: 1.68-9.13). In late AMD, the prevalence of geographic atrophy (GA) was 0.15% (95% CI: 0.05-0.47) in people aged 45-49 years and 1.09% (95% CI: 0.35-3.36) in those aged 85-89 years, and the prevalence of neovascular AMD (NVAMD) ranged between 0.24% (95% CI: 0.11-0.50) and 2.79% (95% CI: 1.33-5.77). In people aged 45-89 years, the number of people with any AMD was 12.01 million (95% CI: 9.29-15.46) in 1990 and 26.65 million (95% CI: 20.62-34.27) in 2015. Within the same period, the number of people with early AMD increased from 9.44 million (95% CI: 7.74-11.15) to 20.91 million (95% CI: 17.16-24.68), and those with late AMD rose from 2.58 million (95% CI: 1.56-4.30) to 5.74 million (95% CI: 3.46- 9.59). In late AMD, the number of people living with GA ranged from 0.87 million (95% CI: 0.40-1.83) in 1990 to 1.93 million (95% CI: 0.89-4.08) in 2015, and NVAMD from 1.71 million (95% CI: 1.16-2.47) to 3.81 million (95% CI: 2.57-5.51). It is projected the number of people with any AMD in 2050 will be 55.19 million (95% CI: 43.04-70.30). Among different regions, the South Central owed the most AMD cases (5.50 million in 2000 and 7.52 million in 2010), whereas North-West China the least (0.66 million in 2000 and 0.95 million in 2010). For estimating the prevalence and burden of glaucoma, 30 studies met the inclusion criteria in the systematic review. In males, the prevalence of POAG ranged from 0.74% (95% CI: 0.48- 1.14) in individuals aged 45-49 years to 3.02% (95% CI: 1.92-4.73) in those aged 85-89 years. The prevalence of POAG in females was slightly lower than that in males across the whole age spectrum from 45 to 89 years, ranging from 0.54% (95% CI: 0.35-0.84) to 2.24% (95% CI: 1.41-3.53). For PACG, the prevalence increased from 0.48% (95% CI: 0.39-0.60) in males aged 45-49 years to 3.44% (95% CI: 2.66-4.45) in males aged 85-89 years. The prevalence of PACG was consistently higher in females than in males, ranging from 0.91% (95% CI: 0.74- 1.11) in females aged 45-49 years to 6.33% (95% CI: 4.98-8.02) in females aged 85-89 years. The pooled prevalence of secondary glaucoma was 0.15% (95% CI: 0.10-0.23). In people aged 45-89 years, the number of people affected by POAG increased from 2.35 million (95% CI: 1.54-3.60) in 1990 to 5.22 million (95% CI: 3.40-7.98) in 2015, PACG from 3.22 million (95% CI: 2.70-3.84) to 7.14 million (95% CI: 5.97-8.53), and secondary glaucoma from 0.34 million (95% CI: 0.23-0.53) to 0.76 million (95% CI: 0.51-1.17). In 2015, more than half (54.42%) of the glaucoma cases were PACG, followed by POAG (39.79%) and secondary glaucoma (5.79%). By 2050, the number of all glaucoma cases in China will be 25.16 million (95% CI: 18.96-33.86). %). In both 2000 and 2010, East China owed the most POAG cases (1.02 million in 2000 and 1.39 million in 2010) and PACG cases (1.24 million in 2000 and 1.68 million in iv 2010), whereas Northwest China the least (POAG: 0.19 million in 2000 and 0.27 million in 2010; PACG: 0.32 million in 2000 and 0.46 million in 2010). For estimating the prevalence and burden of cataract and cataract blindness, 55 studies met the eligibility criteria and were included in the systematic review and meta-analysis. In males, the prevalence of any cataract (including post-surgical cases) ranged from 6.71% (95% CI: 5.06- 8.83) in people aged 45-49 years to 73.01% (95% CI: 65.78-79.2) in elderly aged 85-89 years. In females, the prevalence of any cataract increased from 8.39% (95% CI: 6.36-10.98) in individuals aged 45-49 years to 77.51% (95% CI: 71.00-82.90) in those aged 85-89 years. For age-related cataract (ARC, including post-surgical cases), in males, the prevalence rates ranged from 3.23% (95% CI: 1.51-6.80) in adults aged 45-49 years to 65.78% (95% CI: 46.72- 80.82) in those aged 85-89 years. The prevalence of ARC in females was 4.72% (95% CI: 2.22-9.76) in the 45-49 years age group and 74.03% (95% CI: 56.53-86.21) in the 85–89 years age group. The pooled prevalence rate of cataract blindness (including post-surgical cases) by best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) <0.05 among middle-aged and older Chinese was 2.30% (95% CI: 1.72-3.07), and those of cataract blindness by BCVA <0.10 and cataract blindness by presenting visual acuity (PVA) <0.10 were 2.56% (95% CI: 1.94-3.38) and 4.51% (95% CI: 3.53-5.75) respectively. In people aged 45-89 years, the number of any cataract cases was 50.75 million (95% CI: 42.17-60.37) in 1990 and 111.74 million (95% CI: 92.94-132.84) in 2015, and that of ARC rose from 35.77 million (95% CI: 19.81-59.55) in 1990 to 79.04 million (95% CI: 44.14-130.85) in 2015. By 2050, it is projected that the number of people (45-89 years of age) affected by any cataract will be 240.83 million (95% CI: 206.07-277.35), and that of those with ARC will be 187.26 million (95% CI: 113.17-281.23).

The Ancient Tangluo Road and Huayang Township Zhou Zhongqing Yangxian Cultural Museum, Yangxian, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi 1. [The Tangluo Road Network]1 In ancient times in China, communication between the Guanzhong (Wei Valley), the Han River Basin and the Shu and Ba regions (present day Sichuan and Chongqing) was by ancient roads. From west to east there were altogether four of them: Chencang Road, Baoye Road, Tangluo Road and the Ziwu Road. Of these four roads, the Tangluo Road was the quickest but also the most precipitous. The complete journey was 480 Li (about 200km) and it could be covered in 4 days. The southern entrance to the Tangluo Road was called “Tang”, as it was through the entrance to the valley of the Tang River to the west of Yangxian town, abbreviated to “Tang Valley”. The northern entrance was called “Luo” and was through the West Luo Ravine to the southwest of Zhouzhi. Because the road had a north-south orientation across the Qinling these north and south valleys provided its name -- the Tangluo Road. The Tangluo Road has also been called the Luo Ravine Road in its earliest written reference in the “Records of the Three Kingdoms”. In fact, as far back as the Qin and Han periods, this ancient road had already come into being. So why did a road that came into being so early only appear in writing so late? Since humans emerged, over a long period of time, ancient peoples developed civilisation, never ceasing to discover new things.

  • The Lyrics of Zhou Bangyan (1056-1121): in Between Popular and Elite Cultures
    THE LYRICS OF ZHOU BANGYAN (1056-1121): IN BETWEEN POPULAR AND ELITE CULTURES by Zhou Huarao A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto © Copyright by Zhou Huarao, 2014 The Lyrics of Zhou Bangyan (1056-1121): In between Popular and Elite Cultures Huarao Zhou Doctor of Philosophy Department of East Asian Studies University of Toronto 2014 Abstract Successfully synthesizing all previous styles of the lyric, or ci, Zhou Bangyan’s (1056-1121) poems oscillate between contrasting qualities in regard to aesthetics (ya and su), generic development (zheng and bian), circulation (musicality and textuality), and literary value (assumed female voice and male voice, lyrical mode and narrative mode, and the explicit and the implicit). These qualities emerged during the evolution of the lyric genre from common songs to a specialized and elegant form of art. This evolution, promoted by the interaction of popular culture and elite tradition, paralleled the canonization of the lyric genre. Therefore, to investigate Zhou Bangyan’s lyrics, I situate them within these contrasting qualities; in doing so, I attempt to demonstrate the uniqueness and significance of Zhou Bangyan’s poems in the development and canonization of the lyric genre. This dissertation contains six chapters. Chapter One outlines the six pairs of contrasting qualities associated with popular culture and literati tradition that existed in the course of the development of the lyric genre. These contrasting qualities serve as the overall framework for discussing Zhou Bangyan’s lyrics in the following chapters. Chapter Two studies Zhou Bangyan’s life, with a focus on how biographical factors shaped his perspective about the lyric genre.

ABSTRACT This thesis aims to study Yu-ming Jia’s theology from a postcolonial perspective. Yu-ming Jia (1880-1964) is a conservative Protestant theologian who was actively engaged himself in Chinese protestant churches and theological education during the first half of the 20th century. It was seen that he constructed his theology mainly in a hierarchical context, i.e., the subjugating relationship between missionaries and Chinese Christians appearing in missionary enterprise. This study will focus on three areas of Jia’s theology: christology, ecclesiology and soteriology, which will be analysed with Homi Bhabha’s three conceptions: ambivalence, mimicry and hybridity.

Chapter One explores the moral and aesthetic implications of Wu's life as a "guest-poet" patronized by officials and aristocrats, and profiles two relationships in Wu's life, the loss of which generated a unique corpus of love poetry. To define the art of Southern Song c_i, Chapter Two elucidates current stylistic trends, poetics, and aesthetics of ci, examining critical concepts in two late Song treatises, the Yuefu zhimi and Ciyuan.
