Industrial Structural Changes in Hong Kong,China under One Country,Two Systems Framework

Hong Kong has undergone substantial economic transformations and developed into a sophisticated busi- ness and financial center in the Asia-Pacific region, since the return of sovereignty to China as a Special Administrative Region under the One Country Two Systems （OCTS） in 1997. This paper discusses and analyzes the industrial struc- tural changes of Hong Kong in recent decades as well as its future challenges and opportunities, The data and finding reveal that even though Hong Kong will face fierce competition from the Mainland＇s cities as the rise of China, the important role as a bridge between China and the rest of the world wilt brace Hong Kong itself under the OCTS for developing into a service hub for business and trade in the Asia-Pacific region.

Strengthening Weak Healthcare Systems for Maternal and Neonatal Care in Low and Middle Income Countries: The Missing Link

Introduction: Preventable maternal and newborn mortalities still occur in local communities in Kenya since access to maternal and newborn healthcare services remains a big challenge. Barriers to access in resource-constrained settings have not been examined adequately in literature. The World Health Organization (WHO) has 6 building blocks for strengthening healthcare systems that informed this study. This paper examines how user-side and institutional factors influence access and use of Maternal and Newborn Healthcare (MNH) Services in Matayos sub-County-Busia County. Methods: A mixed method approach, with an ethnographic inquiry and a descriptive cross-sectional design, was adopted to assess access to MNH services in Matayos-Busia County, Western Kenya. Postpartum women who had delivered within the previous 12 months and health care providers in the study area were recruited as respondents. A total of 348 postpartum women were selected through stratified systematic random sampling for the survey. Purposive sampling was used to select postpartum women, conventional and traditional health care providers for 16 in-depth interviews and 7 focus group discussions. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Qualitative data analysis was done thematically. Results: Institutional delivery was low at 68% and family planning at 75% although demand for services was high at 99%. User-side barriers to access included shared beliefs and practices in the community;high direct transport costs from home;and high costs for missing drugs and other supplies in hospitals. Middle (5th-7th) order deliveries occurred at home with traditional birth attendants. The choice of place of delivery in households was influenced by spouses to respondents and communities of residence where respondents lived or were married. All 6 WHO health system building blocks were weak in Matayos sub-County and needed system-wide strengthening involving all pillars. The user-community voice alone was insufficient and the 7th pillar for user-community engagement was absent. The underlying factors were weak governance and underfunding for healthcare. Conclusion: The six WHO building blocks were inadequate due to weak governance and inadequate funding. User-community engagement, the 7th Pillar, was absent in these resource-limited settings. We recommend user-community empowerment, engagement and participation, adoption of a system thinking approach and adequate funding.

The trust system and ecological civilization:A case study of “green trust”

To promote the ecological civilization has been determined as one of the significant agenda for China's development strategy. However, the shortfall of funding might hinder the progress. Therefore, new financing resources and channels are urgently required. Trust has been seen as a popular investing and financing instrument due to its comprehensive benefits such as equity restricting, financial independence and continuity, etc. If trust companies provide services to environmental protection and establish "green trust" or "green funds", it would fully widen financing channel of green industry and contribute to China's sustainable development.

Nexus between air travel and environmental degradation in BRICS Countries:A tourism perspective

International tourism is highly dependent on air travel,which enhances destination countries’economic growth and living standards while causing environmental degradation.This study investigates the effect of air travel on environmental degradation in BRICS nations.The study used feasible generalized least squares(FGLS)to evaluate the environmental Kuznets curve using data spanning 1995 to 2018.The study finds evidence of N-shaped EKC in the economies of the BRICS nations.We also find a positive relationship between tourism,urbanization,and environmental degradation(as measured by CO_(2) and SO_(2) emissions from civil aviation)and a negative relationship between economic development and environmental degradation.To achieve sustainable growth and environmental protection and promote green technology,the BRICS governments should devise policies that address the aviation industry’s short-and long-term needs.

Obstacles Facing Developing Countries in Power System Planning

The problem of power system planning, due to its complexity and dimensionality, is one of the most challenging problems facing the electric power industry in developing as well as developed countries. In planning phase, two of the most important decision-making parameters are the reliability and costs. The latter includes both system investment costs and outages costs. In this paper, these parameters are described and the interrelation between them is evaluated. Some previous approaches and developed techniques will he applied to a particular planning problem in a developing country and some aspects having a significant impact on the decision making process in the planning phase will be considered.

Fraud and Deceit, or a Failure of American Political and Social Sciences： Towards a Theory About the Impact of Banking on the Rise and Fall of Civilizations

Many scholars have documented and analyzed the widespread fraud and deceit associated with government failures worldwide, comparing historical and recent policies leading up to the currently unstable global financial system. Most of the attention to detail, however, has been focused on the actions and failures of corporations, corporate leaders, and political and financial regulatory institutions, with little attention to generalizing political and social-psychological theories that might explain not only current but historical failures, and also prepare the way for formulating alternative futures in a manner that has some substantial likelihood of significantly impacting 61ires who are held responsible for such systemic effects. This paper offers some suggestions for such theory construction, exploring literature on grand theories of the rise and fall of empires, war and financial cycles, and social-psychological theories of political decision making, and considers some implications for the literature on growth and decline of civilizations and their worldviews, and in this context just what alternative futures might be likely and how to choose. I also explores the possibility that the social sciences are close to an understanding of civilization dynamics--close but not yet there. A framework is suggested which may be useful for continuing this research to the point where alternative futures can be constructed that have significance for the future of our globalized world order. In particular the works of Jared Diamond, Carroll Quigley, Niall Ferguson, Chalmers Johnson, and Paul Kennedy, are compared for their macro-historical theories suggesting an evolutionary dynamic in the life span of civilizations, the works of Johnson and Kwak and others for their research into the causes of recurrent financial instability threatening the stability of regimes and whole societies, and various theories of individual and group decision making （Leon Festinger, Harold Lasswell, Abraham Maslow, Richardson, and others） which may explain the social-psychological processes linking these two phenomena. Further, regarding why such comprehensive theory tends not to be addressed in the social and policy sciences, two stumbling blocks are discussed： （1） the absence of any ＂standard theory＂ in political and social science, the absence of which motivates academic struggles analogous to those characterized as security dilemmas in international relations; and （2） students and practitioners of politics often speak past one another and get embroiled in needless conflicts because of the latent structures of their dominant paradigms, specifically misunderstandings among the practitioners of political science, political philosophy, and political practitioners.

Evaluation and Coordinated Development Measurement of the Construction of Marine Ecological Civilization in Coastal Areas—Taking Shandong Province, China as an Example

This paper selected 25 evaluation indexes from the three aspects of marine ecological economy, marine ecological environment and marine ecological society to construct an evaluation index system of the construction of coastal marine ecological civilization, using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy value method to determine evaluation index weights, and measured the construction level of marine ecological civilization in Shandong Province during the period of 2006-2016. The results showed that the construction level of marine ecological civilization in Shandong Province during 2006-2016 as a whole is on the rise. In terms of the increase of the scores of each subsystem, the development of marine ecological society increased the most, followed by the development of marine ecological economy, while the development of marine ecological environment was relatively slow. This paper also analyzed the coordinated development level of the paired subsystems such as the marine ecological economy plus marine ecological environment, marine ecological society plus marine ecological environment and marine ecological economy plus marine ecological society in Shandong Province during the period of 2006-2016 by using the coupling coordination analysis model. The results showed that the level of coordinated development between the three pairs of subsystems has basically gone through the development process from low coordination to moderate coordination, and finally to high coordination.

System dynamics simulation of the civil-military integrated innovation system of military enterprises

Civil-military inosculation of military enterprises benefits national defense industries by promoting the building of civil-military inosculation innovation system. To analyze the operation mechanism of the civil-military integrated innovation system of the military enterprises under the new situation, the system dynamics method is used to study the feedback relations among the factors and structure of the system and the Anylogic software is used to establish the simulation model . The simulation results indicate that： the degree of enthusiasm of private enterprises to participate in the defense industry, the degree of information sharing and the degree of cooperation between the mili- tary enterprises and universities and research institutions are extremely important in the civil-military integrated innovation system. According to the simulation results, some targeted suggestions are put forward to strengthen the innovational civil-military integrated system building of the military enter- prises.

Medical Diagnosis Expert System for Malaria and Related Diseases for Developing Countries

There is a strong need for cost-effective technologies to manage disease processes and thus reduce morbidity and mortality in the developing countries. Yet bringing intelligent healthcare informatics to bear on the dual problems of reducing healthcare costs and improving quality and outcomes is a challenge even in countries with a reasonably developed technology infrastructure. This paper focused at how appropriate an ap-plication of Medical Diagnosis Expert System (MDES) is to manage diseases in developing countries. MDES is usually designed to enable clinicians to identify diseases and describe methods of treatment to be carried out taking into account the user capability. The MDES described here is implemented using the C Language Integrated Production System (CLIPS). The CLIPS is an expert system, which has a shell composed of four modules: the user interface, the explanation system, the inference engine and the knowledge base editor. In the system, a number of patient cases will be selected as prototypes and stored in a separate database. The knowledge is acquired from literature review, human experts and the internet of the specific domain and is used as a base for analysis, diagnosis and recommendations.

重写文明史:建构中国自主知识体系的底座

中国自古便有完整的哲学体系、文论体系、史学体系、艺术体系、教育体系、医学体系、科学技术体系以及其他各个学科的自主知识体系。然而,中国原有的自主知识体系在现当代基本上不被承认。这一问题的根源在文明观,文明观是基础,是自主知识体系的底座。近现代以来支撑各学科知识生产的标准、内涵、体系都建立在西方文明的底座上。文明底座是西方的,所构建的知识体系也就必然唯西是从,直接导致了对中国文明的贬低,对中国知识体系的全盘否定,形成了中国自主知识体系整体性的垮塌,走上了自毁长城之歧途。建构中国自主知识体系,首先要“重塑文明观”,重塑文明观则必须“重写文明史”,再从文明底座上建构哲学、史学、医学、科学技术等各个学科的自主知识体系,重获各学科知识体系本来的“话语权”,向世界呈现“理论中的中国”“创新中的中国”“文明中的中国”,建构自立自强的中国自主知识体系。

宪法视野下的婚检制度变革与完善——基于《民法典》第1053条告知义务的履行

《民法典》第1053条对禁婚疾病传统作出重大调整,成为新时代背景下婚检制度设计的重要法律依据。在婚姻宪法保护框架下,“婚姻自由—私人告知—自愿婚检”的传统思路忽略了比“婚姻自由保护”更为根本的“婚姻传统功能保护”。婚姻的公共性及解决相关司法实践难题的客观需要,使得婚检融入履行环节成为可能。从《宪法》到《民法典》再到《婚姻登记条例》,民法典时代婚检制度设计应沿循“婚姻保护—法定告知—弱强制婚检”设计思路,采取“程序强制+形式审查”模式,即当事人于婚前相互告知专业健康检查结论,婚姻登记机关仅要求当事人填写知晓声明并进行必要口头提示而不对告知内容及其真实性进行实质审查。

探索多元现代性的中国之路——中国式现代化的本质研究
