Only when the value of farmland is fully appreciated in commercial markets can farmland preservation be effectively achieved. The current study constructed a model to evaluate the economic, social, and ecological value of farmland in China according to the connotation of values. As a case study, the value of Chinese farmland was estimated in 1999, 2002, 2005, 2008, and 2011 using the established model. Although the amount of farmland was greatly reduced from 1999 to 2011 due to constructive occupation, agricultural restructuring, ecological restoration, and disaster destruction, the value of this farmland increased from 220.71×1012 to 736.26×1012 RMB Yuan as a result of the multifunctional nature and scarcity of farmland during the same period. The potential value of farmland in China was huge, but the value in the market was greatly underestimated, especially in regard to its social and ecological value. This study proposes a new method that integrates the discounted value of all future services provided by a natural resource(for the society and individuals) to evaluate the resource assets, provides a scientific foundation for the preservation and operation of farmland assets, and explores ways to increase farmers' property income.展开更多

Smith; Erythrophleum suaveolens (Guill & Perr.) Brenam. Syn. E guinensis G.Don. or Milicia excelsa (Welw) C.C. Berg. Syn.

Pentanchlorophenol (Penta) in light oil solvent) to suppress attack on pressure treated Antiaris toxicaria Lesch Sapwood by either any of three species of decaying fungi (Coridopsis Polyzona Klotzch; Lenzites trabea; or Trametes cingulata Fr.) under soil block exposure conditions were investigated and threshold values determined. Extract/preservative dosages were either 8.009; 24.778; 48.056; 96.111 or 144.167 kg穖-3 (0.5; 1.5; 3.0; 6.0 or 9.0 1b/ft3). Exposure was for either 14 or 28 weeks and in accordance with ASTM D1413 72 Provisions. Conclusions reached were that at threshold values the ability of either any of the heartwood extracts or proprietary wood preservatives to suppress attack under conditions in this study was significant at 0.01. Relative efficacy of those biocides was dependent on fungal species. Neither any of the heartwood extracts nor any of the proprietary wood preservatives (except in the case of Trametes cingulata attack on CCA treated wood at highest retention level) was able to confer 搗ery durable?rating on treated wood. Possible reasons for the reduced relative durability of extracts visa vis native heartwood were advanced. At the highest retention level (144.167 kg穖-3) there was no significant difference (at 0.05 level) between efficacy of each of the heartwood extracts and any of the proprietary wood preservatives (CCA or Penta).展开更多

The "new" in new normal means different to past; the "normal" means relatively stable. For a period of time in the future, the decrease of potential growth rate has become an indisputable fact. Social security fund is an important source of funds for the protection of people's livelihood, whose every movement often attract much attention. Under the situation of new normal economy, how to ensure the preserving or increasing value of social security funds on the premise of security is the core task in the operations management of social security fund investment. At present, there are some difficulties in the development of the social security funds, such as the management system and operation mechanism are not perfect, some institutional measures have not been fully implemented and the progress of the law and regulations is slow. In this paper, we will put forward some corresponding improvement measures, such as expand the scope of social security fund investment, accelerate the implementation of the nominal account system and strengthen the actuarial management of social security fund.展开更多

The viewpoint takes for that the evaluation of any circular economic model should consider both the economic value and externalities. If the material units unattached to products in the economic system are circulated with value-increasing as more as possible,more value can be created with lower consumption of resources. The essential principle of circular economy is that the material units within an economic system should go through the multiple production to be circulated with value-increasing,the main purpose of circular economy is that the material units shouldn't attach to waste going out of the system as much as possible in order to reduce pollution emissions,the economic mechanism of circular economy is that the economic value chain should be used to pull the material units of the system to achieve smooth circulation.展开更多

After years of practice of reform, China's old-age, unemployment and medical insurance and minimum living focused on the social security system has taken shape, but also the corresponding social security fund was established. Part of the problems of social security funds and other investment operations are increasingly apparent. How to achieve the social security fund is necessary to ensure payment, but also realize the accumulation, it is necessary to increase the value, but also to avoid risks, it has become an urgent task of China's reform and development. Social Security Fund Investment Management became the central task of the Social Security System.展开更多
