Gish College of Science & Mathematics, Madonna Director, Professor University Preface Anhui is a major agricultural province in the PRC. Since the PRC’s Reform and Opening up in 1980s, significant progress has been made in the industrialization and urbanization of Anhui Province, but traditional agriculture at present still remains an important pillar of its economy. As its climate stands in the middle of the PRC, agriculture in Anhui has characteristic of both South and North PRC and is of typical significance in terms of the issues of “agriculture, rural areas and farmers” in the PRC. With sustained development of socio-economy in Anhui Province, especially the rapid advancement of industrialization and urbanization in recent years, the rural environmental pollution has worsened due to mismanagement of environmental protection. Despite some beneficial explorations, practices and capital investment in rural environmental protection and treatment, the overall situation of rural ecological environment in the province is relatively severe, and rural environmental protection and treatment faces great challenges, such as lack of awareness, imperfection of policies, regulations and systems, inexplicitness of administrative power and insufficiency of investment and technology. Under such circumstances, the Asian Development Bank’s technical assistance project, namely TA7737-Provincial Development Strategies for Provinces in Central PRC Focus on Rural Development (Package 1: Research on Environmental Protection and Treatment in Rural Areas of Anhui Province”), not only meets the requirement of building ecological civilization in the PRC, but also provides a rare opportunity for promoting environmental-friendly Anhui Province in rural areas. The technical assistance project will certainly provide strong support for Anhui Province to implement the strategy of strengthening the province through ecological civilization during the 12th Five-Year Plan. This project is the first that uses the Asian Development Bank’s technical assistance grants to do provincial development strategy research in Anhui Province. With the great support from Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Ministry of Finance, Anhui Provincial Government through its Provincial Department of Finance, the project executive agency, sets up a leading group led by the Director of Anhui Provincial Department of Finance (supported by project management office, the implementing agency), and a technical panel which have provided policy guidance, daily coordination, project management, financial and technical support and services to the project implementation. The project leading group and the panel working with the ADB have provided strong political and technical support to contribute to the quality of this project. The project recruits and selects consultants and experts carefully, conducts surveys and analyzes data seriously, holds mobilization workshop and interim review workshop to review the project implementation and the research reports, and ensures project implementation on schedule and in quality. With the joint efforts in the past two years, this project has achieved expected objective and solid results. During the project implementation, all members, especially the consulting firm and the consultant team, always uphold the spirits of “pragmatism and innovation”, collect numerous first-hand information from countryside and households in fields, as well as various samples for analysis. Therefore, the research is based on scientific analysis and comprehensive study and across-sector discussions. Its wide scope, specific data, thorough analysis, novel thoughts and practicable measures will play a positive role in rural environmental protection and treatment, and strengthen the Anhui Province’s ecological civilization in contribution to the 12th Five-Year Plan of Anhui Province. The successful completion of the report would not be possible without the excellent cooperation among all parties concerned, including the guidance ADB, the support from the Ministry of Finance, the leadership of Anhui provincial steering group, technical support from the panel, the sweat of the consulting firm and the consultants, and proactive

    Bai et al. BMC Public Health (2020) 20:1560 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-09657-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Association between social capital and depression among older people: evidence from Anhui Province, China Zhongliang Bai1,2,3, Zhiwei Xu3,4, Xiaoru Xu2, Xia Qin2, Wenbiao Hu3* and Zhi Hu1,2* Abstract Background: To examine the relationship between social capital and depression among community-dwelling older adults in Anhui Province, China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among older people selected from three cities of Anhui Province, China using a multi-stage stratified cluster random sampling method. Data were collected through questionnaire interviews and information on demographic characteristics, social capital, and depression was collected. The generalized linear model and classification and regression tree model were employed to assess the association between social capital and depression. Results: Totally, 1810 older people aged ≥60 years were included in the final analysis. Overall, all of the social capital dimensions were positively associated with depression: social participation (coefficient: 0.35, 95% CI: 0.22– 0.48), social support (coefficient:0.18, 95% CI:0.07–0.28), social connection (coefficient: 0.76, 95% CI:0.53–1.00), trust (coefficient:0.62, 95% CI:0.33–0.92), cohesion (coefficient:0.31, 95% CI:0.17–0.44) and reciprocity (coefficient:0.30, 95% CI:0.11–0.48), which suggested that older people with higher social capital had a smaller chance to develop depression. A complex joint effect of certain social capital dimensions on depression was also observed. The association with depression and the combinative effect of social capital varied among older adults across the cities.

Tis is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. A temperature index model with delay and stochastic perturbation is constructed in this paper. It explores the infuence of parameters and stochastic factors on the stability and complexity of the model. Based on historical temperature data of four cities of Anhui Province in China, the temperature periodic variation trends of approximately sinusoidal curves of four cities are given, respectively. In addition, we analyze the existence conditions of the local stability of the temperature index model without stochastic term and estimate its parameters by using the same historical data of the four cities, respectively. Te numerical simulation results of the four cities are basically consistent with the descriptions of their historical temperature data, which proves that the temperature index model constructed has good ftting degree. It also shows that unreasonable delay parameter can make the model lose stability and improve the complexity. Stochastic factors do not usually change the trend in temperature, but they can cause high frequency fuctuations in the process of temperature evolution.

  • Analysis of Historic Rainfall Characteristics for Robust Wheat Cropping in North Anhui
    Analysis of historic rainfall characteristics for robust wheat cropping in North Anhui Hui Su, Yibo Wu, Yulei Zhu, Youhong Song Anhui Agricultural University, School of Agronomy, Hefei, 233036. Corresponding email: [email protected] Abstract Northern part of Anhui is one of major wheat producing areas in China. The total amount of rainfall is sufficient for wheat season; however, it is unevenly distributed at the different growth stages, resulting in risk of yield losses. In order to optimise the cultivation in North Anhui, it is essential to characterise the rainfall pattern for wheat growth particularly in the critical period (i.e. the months of sowing and harvesting). By analysing the rainfall data from 1955 to 2017, this study characterised the rainfall pattern from six sites representing different regions of North Anhui. The frequency of continuous rainfall days during sowing and harvesting periods were quantified based on 63 years rainfall distribution. The characterisation of rainfall in six representative sites in North Anhui were able to be used to guide wheat sowing and harvesting, which could help farmers to make decisions and avoid likelihood of cropping risks. Key Words Winter wheat, rainfall pattern, sustainable cropping, China Introduction Huang-Huai-Hai plain is a major wheat production area in China (Yang, 2018). The northern part of Anhui province belongs to south Huang-Huai-Hai plain. The wheat sowing time normally varies 1 week before or after October 15 and harvesting is tightly closing to May 31 in the following year. The climate characteristics particularly rainfall distribution over the season are complicated in North Anhui as it is in the transitional zone between the North and South China.

Page 1/20 Abstract Thirteen Zhou Dynasty bronze vessels and two slags from Zongyang County along the north bank of the Yangtze River in Anhui were analyzed by LA-MC-ICP-MS and EDXRF. The results of the lead isotope analysis showed that there were two kinds of lead materials in the Zongyang bronzes. Class which could have originated from the Wannan region were mainly used in the Western Zhou and the following Spring and Autumn periods; while Class , possibly from the local mines in Zongyang County, were mainly present in the Warring States period. Such a shift in the ore material sources is also revealed by the analysis of the trace elements of the Zongyang bronzes. With reference to relevant historical documents, it can be inferred that the transformation of the bronze material sources could be related to the changes of the political situation during the Zhou Dynasty.
