The questionnaire consisted of questions regarding the understand- ing of cornea donation, the attitude toward cornea donation, and attitude toward legislation and free dona- tion. The awareness of cornea donation between the registered tissue donors and residents was compared. Related factors of the willingness to donate corneas and to become a tissue donor were evaluated with uni- variate and multiple logistic regression analysis. Results A total of 1867 （response rate： 93.4%） tissue donors and 1796 （response rate： 89.8%; ef- fective questionnaires： 1697） residents participated in this survey. For the questions about the knowledge of cornea donation, 90.3% tissue donors （residents： 78.9%） knew that donated corneas could be used for transplantations; 71.2% tissue donors （residents： 47.6%） knew that the appearance would not be destroyed after cornea donation; 70.7% tissue donors （residents： 20.0%） knew the formalities to become a cornea do- nor. For attitude toward cornea donation, 82.2% tissue donors （residents： 45.1%） were willing to donate corneas or eyeballs after death; 84.0% tissue donors （residents： 30.2%） had discussed with their families about donation; 85.1% tissue donors （residents： 24.8%） supported their families＇ or friends＇ cornea donation For attitude toward legislation and free donation, 88.3% tissue donors （residents： 61.3%） approved of legis- lation to regular cornea donation; 72.2% tissue donors （residents： 38.8%） thought that cornea or organ do- nation should be gratis. The difference between two groups was significant （P〈0.001）. However, some tissue donors did not know cornea donation well, some even opposed the legislation of cornea donation and free donation protocol. For the factors influencing the willingness to donate corneas, population was the mostrelevant factor （P〈0.O01）, since tissue donors were more willing to donate corneas than residents. Other significantly related factor were age, gender, occupation, and education level （P〈0.001 ）, while political status or religion were not significant. For the factors related to becoming a tissue donor, older age, male, white-collars （including white-collar, civil servant, teacher, soldier, lawyer, salesman, healthcare provider）, higher education level, party members （including the Chinese Communist Party members, democratic party members, and the CommunistYouth League members） （P〈0.05）. Conclusions The registered tissue donors have better understanding and more positive attitude to- wards cornea donation than control residents do. They approve of the legislation of cornea donation and free donation protocol. It may be more effective to target the population of over 58 years old, male, white-collars, well-educated people, and party members in the promotion of cornea donation.展开更多

China＇s vision for building an ecological civilization is comprehensive, multi-sectoral and systemic and is intended to direct and balance progress among ecological, economic, social, cultural and political dimensions of change. Some on-going efforts and potential future activities that meet China＇s vision of an ecological civilization are described. Establishment of dedicated ecological civilization areas for experimenting with legal, regulatory and administrative incentives that would facilitate the march towards the ideal is encouraged. Chinese biosphere reserves which are designated with the explicit aim of building harmony between humans and nature would be suitable candidates for designing and developing such dedicated ecological civilization areas.展开更多

Our empirical research has found that after the release of the ＂eight-point regulation ＂, investors responded negatively to private frms and positively to SOEs. Such market response is more significant for firms with a high degree of rent-seeking. Further research has found that rent-seeking helps both SOEs and private firms receive more subsidies from the government. While government subsidy from rent-seeking is conducive to the performance of private firms, it is not the case for SOEs. This implies that rent-seeking activities serve as a ＂lubricant＇for private firms but have a ＂stumbling block＂ effect for SOEs.展开更多
