Investigation and study on the epidemiology of gestational diabetes mellitus in Guizhou

BACKGROUND Gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM)is a growing public health concern,particularly in regions with diverse ethnic populations.Understanding the incidence and risk factors of GDM is crucial for early prevention and management,especially in underrepresented areas like Guizhou Province,China,where geographic and ethnic diversity may influence the disease’s prevalence and risk profiles.AIM To investigate the incidence of GDM and identify its associated risk and protective factors among different ethnic groups in Guizhou Province,providing essential data for early prevention strategies.METHODS A multi-center retrospective study was conducted,dividing participants into GDM and non-GDM groups according to standardized diagnostic criteria.Data were collected from 103629 deliveries across 40 hospitals in Guizhou.Various demographic,clinical,and laboratory parameters were analyzed using logistic regression to identify risk and protective factors for GDM.RESULTS Among the 103629 deliveries,18957 cases of GDM were identified,with an incidence of approximately 18.3%.The risk of GDM was higher in the Han ethnic group compared to minority ethnic groups.The Dong ethnic group had the lowest incidence among the minorities.Key risk factors identified included older age(especially>35 years),higher pre-pregnancy body mass index(BMI),light physical activity,gravidity,family history of diabetes,hemoglobin,aspartate aminotransferase,alanine aminotransferase,and direct bilirubin.Protective factors included higher education level,total protein,and albumin.There were also differences based on blood type,with type A associated with higher risk.CONCLUSION The incidence rate in Guizhou is 18.3%.Older age(especially>35 years),Han ethnicity,lower education level,higher pre-pregnancy BMI,light physical activity,and higher gravidity are the main risk factors for GDM.Laboratory findings indicate that higher hemoglobin,higher liver function parameters(alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,and direct bilirubin),and lower total protein and albumin are associated with a higher risk of GDM.Blood type A has a higher risk of GDM compared to blood types AB and O.

Spatiotemporal Differences and Classification Regulation of Urbanization Impact on Agricultural Development in Shrinking Areas:A Case Study of 15 Shrinking Cities in Three Provinces of Northeast China

Studying the impact of urbanization on agricultural development in shrinking areas is important for maintaining food security and promoted agricultural development in China.Based on the measurement results of the shrinking cities in the three provinces of Northeast China,this paper selects 15 shrinking cities as the research object,and constructs a multi-dimensional index system to explore the impact of the urbanization level of the shrinking areas on the agricultural development in the region since 2007–2019,analyzes the influencing factors and their differences by using the geographically-weighted regression model and Geodetector,and proposes a targeted regulation strategy.The results show that:1)overall,there is a negative correlation between the urbanization level and the agricultural development level in the contracted areas of the three northeastern provinces.The urbanization level in these areas has a certain negative impact on the overall level of agricultural development;2)regarding the time dimension,the impact of urbanization level on the agricultural development level in the contracted areas of the three northeastern provinces gradually increases over time;3)regarding the spatial pattern,the overall impact of shrinking urbanization levels in the three provinces of Northeast China on the agricultural development shows a significant distribution pattern of high in the east and low in the west;4)the total population and natural population growth rate at the end of the year were the main factors influencing a certain level of urbanization on agricultural development in the shrinking cities while population density and the urban fixed asset investment rate were the secondary factors;and 5)the main reasons why the level of agricultural development in different cities was affected by the level of urbanization were different.However,they can be categorized into areas of population loss and spatial construction,which can be further divided into area of population loss in the northeast,areas of negative population growth in the west,and areas of urban spatial change in the south.According to the causes of the impact,this paper adopted targeted regulation strategies and formulated relevant policies and solutions that cater to local conditions.

Investigation and Analysis of Continuous Cropping of Flue-cured Tobacco in Henan Province

The continuous cropping of flue-cured tobacco in the major producing areas of Henan Province by designing questionnaire, fieldwork, enquiry and phone calls, mails, and other forms, the data were obtained then classified and analyzed. The results showed that the main planting areas of flue-cured tobacco were in Nanyang, Xuchang, Luoyang, Sanmenxia, Pingdingshan, and Luohe where were the major producing areas of succession cropping of flue-cured tobacco with percentage of 20%-40% for three years and over three years, and a few places up to 50%. Morbidity was common with wide distribution, and the main diseases were black shank, viral disease, and black rot. It proved that tobacco was not suitable for continuous cropping. Both of tobacco disease and pest rate and mortality significantly increased by more than 40% under continuous cropping for three years and over three years, and the yield and quality of flue-cured tobacco also decreased after continuous cropping. For many places, the tobacco yield started to decrease in the second year of continuous cropping, and after three-year cropping, the yield decreased in the range of 9%-24%. Continuous cropping for a long time would make a serious decline in the quality of tobacco, resulting in non-economic benefits. Therefore, in order to reduce the occurrence of diseases and economic loss in tobacco production, it is recommended to avoid continuous cropping, or to adopt appropriate measures to control tobacco continuous cropping obstacles in the unavoidable case.

China’s Climate Policy:Mandate-Based vs.Market-Based Approaches

Mandate-based and market-based mechanisms represent two primary approaches to achieving policy objectives,yet the debate over their relative effectiveness remains unresolved.The mandate-based approach is exemplified by pilot programs for low-carbon provinces and cities,referred to as“Low-Carbon Pilot Provinces/Cities”,while the market-based mechanism is reflected in pilot programs for carbon emissions trading markets,or“Carbon Trading Pilot Programs”.This paper employs event study analysis to compare the carbon emission reduction impacts of these two approaches.Our findings reveal that the Low-Carbon Pilot Provinces/Cities achieved emissions reduction primarily by curbing economic output,without significantly reducing carbon emissions intensity.In contrast,the Carbon Trading Pilot Programs led to an increase in total carbon emissions by driving economic growth,even as they reduced carbon emissions intensity.A heterogeneity analysis further indicates that the emissions reductions observed in the Low-Carbon Pilot Provinces/Cities were predominantly concentrated in economically less-developed regions,whereas the increase in carbon emissions associated with the Carbon Trading Pilot Programs was more significant in regions with lower initial carbon emissions intensity.Against the backdrop of China’s efforts to achieve its carbon peak and neutrality goals,this paper offers valuable insights for the design of effective climate policies.

Study of Organochlorine Pesticides in Eco-geochemical Survey of Soil in Shandong Province

Based on a comprehensive eco-geochemical survey of Shandong Province, the differences in pesticide residue situation and contents of DDTs and HCHs in the soils of Yantai City and Southwest Shandong Province(abbreviated as SSP) were studied in this paper. The results showed that the detection rates of DDTs and HCHs in the soil of SSP were apparently higher than Yantai City. However, the mean contents of DDTs and HCHs in the soil of Yantai were 9 and 25 times of SSP, respectively, and higher than the mean contents of many other cities and areas. p,p′-DDE was the main pesticide residual form in the soil of SSP. It is recognized as the degradation product of DDTs in oxidation environment in past, nevertheless, 5.52% of the soils in Yantai City still have a little of DDT input recently, which has posed a big impact on soil environment quality. β-HCH was the main form of the four isomers of HCHs in Yantai City, and α-HCH/γ-HCH in SSP was low. These reveal that the residual time of HCHs in the soils of both the two areas has a long period. After primary analysis, the risk of DDTs and HCHs in the soil of SSP is low, but DDTs in the soil of Yantai City still has a certain risk.

Evaluation and Analysis of Ecological Efficiency from the Perspective of Ecological Civilization:A Case Study of Hubei Province

Nowadays,Hubei Province pays more attention to sustainable development with the purpose of building green province. Therefore,in the construction process of ecological civilization in Hubei Province,how to get the optimal economic output with minimum resource consumption and minor environment damage is one of the most urgent problems. Based on the panel data of 12 prefecture-level cities in Hubei Province from 2005 to 2014,the Malmquist Productivity Index( MPI) was used to calculate the eco-efficiency of 12 prefecture-level cities in Hubei Province. According to the analyzed results,it was found that there was a downward trend of ecological efficiency in Hubei Province during the study period. As for the overall environmental production situation of the whole province in this period,results showed that environmental production efficiency was improved while the level of environmental production technology has decreased greatly. This phenomenon maybe result from different speed,because the speed of technical efficiency improvement was less than the extent of technology decline,which finally led that the Hubei Province's environmental productivity declined.
