Public choice on coordinated development of border regions and its empirical research:a case study of Wuling mountain area

Due to the difficult segmentation of land destiny, popularity destiny, industry destiny on the platform of common interests demand, the regional governance of production and living for the needs of the people in cross-regional areas, such as in the aspects of security, education, assignment and management of water resources, transportation, energy, environment protection and public health, the administrative border regional cooperation is relatively easy. These aspects are equivalent to public products. Just because of this, it leads to problems that nobody will not control. The governments, in order to realize regional economic coordinated development and to eliminate the regional interests parties of administrative regions economy in microcosmic, were adapting various self-protection measures, even including that "you may have your policy but I have my countermeasures" that is derived from inter-regional economic relations. The action of market segmentation has limited the flow of various economic development elements, especially the condition of "dead end highway", resource exploitation and use, difficult social security work in social living of the administrative boundary zone. This paper studies the typical economical district of Wuling mountain area in the obvious strategic position at the junction of Chongqing, Guizhou, Hunan, Hubei provinces from the angle of regional public management and public choice to present issue awareness and academic purpose.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF CROSS-BORDER REGIONS:A METHODOLOGICAL STUDY

The exploitation and protection of natural and environmental resources have posed a growing challenge to cross-border regions. In this paper, a methodological study in relation to the sustainable development of cross-border regions is conducted. Our particular interest focuses on the locational characteristics of cross-border regions as well as their economic implications to the cross-border governments. Based on a sustainable development model from which the optimal outputs of different kinds of border-regions can be derived, we try to methodologically help cross-border governments to reach a final agreement of sustainable development of natural and environmental resources.It is concluded that the methods by which the net benefits among the sub-regions can be redistributed may be: 1) to equalize the absolute values of net benefit among all sub-regions concerned; and 2) to equalize the relative values of net benefit among all sub-regions concerned.

Specialization or Diversification:Which is More Conducive to Foreign Trade Resilience?Evidence from China-Russia Border Regions in Northeast China

Under the background of complex international situation,how to build the special geo-economic space of China-Russia bor-der lies in strengthening their foreign trade resilience against external shocks.Based on empirical evidence from ten prefecture-level China-Russia border regions in Northeast China,this paper analyzed the spatiotemporal evolution of foreign trade resilience under dif-ferent shocks.Furthermore,through the Panel Regression model,the mechanism of the industrial structure on the foreign trade resili-ence in contraction period and expansion period was discussed.The results showed that:1)from 2004 to 2021,foreign trade in China-Russia border regions experienced five phases.The overall foreign trade resilience was higher than expected,showing a rising volatility trend,but there was significant spatial heterogeneity in the ability of cities to cope with shocks.2)Highly specialized clusters were mainly concentrated in Yichun,Heihe and Da Hinggan Ling Prefecture,while Mudanjiang and Yanbian performed better in related and unrelated diversification.3)In different stages of economic system evolution,the response mode,degree and result of border foreign trade resilience to regional industrial structure showed obvious stage characteristics.During the contraction period,related diversifica-tion was more conducive to improving the resistance through risk spillovers.During the expansion period,specialization played a more significant role in improving regional resilience through self-reinforcing effect.These results are beneficial for expanding the resilience theory,ensuring border economic security and optimizing border industrial investment layout.

Differences in incidence,staging,and survival of urologic cancers in patients under 65 living in the US-Mexico border region

Objectives:To describe and compare the incidence,stage at diagnosis,and survival for genitourinary cancers in the border regions and in Hispanic-Americans.Materials and methods:A population-based search was performed using the Surveillance,Epidemiology,and End Results Program 18 database and the Texas Cancer Registry from 2000 to 2017.Cox regression models were performed with adjusted for age,gender,race,cancer type,cancer stage,insurance status,and cause of death were used to compare cancer-specific survival.Results:A total of 63,236 kidney and renal pelvis,38,398 bladder,170,640 prostate,24,313 testicular cancer cases were identified.Cancer-specific survivalwas found to beimproved in Hispanic-Americans in kidney and renal pelvis(hazard ratio[HR],0.903,95%confidence interval[CI],0.856-0.952,p=0.0001),and bladder cancers(HR,0.817,95%CI,0.743-0.898,p<0.001),despite a more advanced stage at diagnosis in Hispanics with bladder cancer(p<0.0074).Testicular cancer has a survival disadvantage for individuals living in the border region(HR,1.315,95%CI,1.124-1.539,p=0.0006).Conclusions:Disparities exist between Hispanic-Americans and Non-Hispanic White and also between individuals living in the border counties when compared to other regions.This is most significant in individuals with testicular cancer residing in the border region who demonstrate worse overall survival.

Rubber plantation and its relationship with topographical factors in the border region of China, Laos and Myanmar

Rubber plantation is the major land use type in Southeast Asia. Monitoring the spa- tial-temporal pattern of rubber plantation is significant for regional land resource development, eco-environmental protection, and maintaining border security. With remote sensing tech- nologies, we analyzed the rubber distribution pattern and spatial-temporal dynamic; with GIS and a newly proposed index of Planted Intensity （PI）, we further quantified the impacts and limits of topographical factors on rubber plantation in the border region of China, Laos and Myanmar （BRCLM） between 1980 and 2010. The results showed that： （1） As the dominant land use type in this border region, the acreage of rubber plantation was 6014 km2 in 2010, accounting for 8.17% of the total area. Viewing from the rubber plantation structure, the ratio of mature- （〉10 year） and young rubber plantation （〈 10 year） was 5：7. （2） From 1980 to 2010, rubber plantation expanded significantly in BRCLM, from 705 km2 to 6014 km2, nearly nine times. The distribution characteristics of rubber plantation varied from concentrated toward dispersed, from border inside to outside, and expanded further in all directions with Jinghong City as the center. （3） Restricted by the topographical factors, more than 4/5 proportion of rubber plantation concentrated in the appropriate elevation gradients between 600 and 1000 m, rarely occurred in elevations beyond 1200 m in BRCLM. Nearly 2/3 of rubber plantation concentrated on slopes of 8^-25~, rarely distributed on slopes above 35~. Rubber plantation was primarily distributed in south and east aspects, relatively few in north and west aspects. Rubber planted intensity displayed the similar distribution trend. （4） Comparative studies of rubber plantation in different countries showed that there was a remarkable increase in area at higher elevations and steeper slopes in China, while there were large appropriate topog- raphical gradients for rubber plantation in Laos and Myanmar which benefited China for rubber trans-boundary expansion. （5） Rubber plantation in BRCLM will definitely expend cross borders of China to the territories of Laos and Myanmar, and the continuous expansion in the border region of China will be inevitable.

THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF SPATIAL ORGANZATIONAL STRUCTURES ON THE PROVINCIAL BORDER－REGIONS OF CHINA

Based on the spatial organizational structures of the provincial border-regions (a border-region is one which borders two or more independent administrative regions), we build a spatial economic model for N-provincial border-regions (a N-p border-region is one which is under the jurisdiction of N provincial governments) and find that, for a given region with same geographical condition and resources endowment, the largest output of a N-p border-regional system will not exceed that ofa (N-1)-p border-regional system, i.e., F. Using the model in this paper, we present a quantitative method to calculate the economic impacts of 'provincial borders' and apply it to the border-region of Shanxi, Hebei, Shangdong, and Henan provinces. The result shows that the economic potential in the border-region hasnot been efficiently exploited and that the annual gross agricultural products have decreased by 10.4% due to the 4-p borders.

CONCEPTION OF ESTABLISHING THE SINO-RUSSIAN BORDER FREE ECONOMIC REGION

So called free economic region is a special region without jurisdiction of customs, delimited by one country. There are mainly four types of free economic region, that is, commercial type of free economic region —free port, industrial type of free economic region — export processing area, integrated commercial and trade type of free economic region — free trade zone, and scientific and technological type of free economic region — scientific industrial park. With the development of free economic region of different countries, besides free economic region within one country, there appear transnational border free economic region established by two or multiple countries. Analysing favorable factors and unfavorable factors to establish the free economic region for China and Russia, for example, China and Russia have land boundary line of 4282.7 km; China and Russia may strengthen overall cooperation in politics, military, economy, science and technology, culture, etc. making full use of geographical factors of the two countries, borders; there is a strong complementarity in resources, labour force etc. for China and Russia; strengthening the Sino Russian economic trade cooperation is needed, the authors proposed a conception and selected four comparative ideal locations for establishing the Sino Russian border free economic region: Manzhouli Zabaikalye Free Economic Region, Heihe Blagoveshchensk Free Economic Region, Suifenhe Pogranichnyy Free Economic Region, Hunchun Hasan Free Economic Region. Finally the principles and patterns for establishing free economic region are discussed.

A Toxicological Assessment of Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals Found in the BMW (Border, Midland and Western) Region of Ireland

A battery of tests was established to determine the oestrogenic, mutagenic and genotoxic potential of two categories of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs), phthalates and alkylphenols. Diisononylphthalate (DINP), diethylhexylphthalate (DEHP), dibutylphthalate (DBP), diisododecylphthalate (DIDP) and 4-nonylphenol (4-NP) were oestrogenic in the yeast estrogen screen (YES) assay and potently oestrogenic in the MVLN and E-SCREEN assays at environmentally relevant concentrations. DINP and 4-NP were mutagenic in the Ames assay and also induced significant levels of unscheduled DNA synthesis and DNA strand breakage. Significant induction in the percentage of cells containing micronuclei was observed after treatment with DINP, DEHP and 4-NP. In addition, sewage effluents from sewage treatment plants (STPs) in the Border, Midlands and Western (BMW) region of Ireland were significantly oestrogenic in the YES assay. Moreover, analysis of levels of phthalates and alkylphenol identified in Irish rivers receiving treated effluent showed potent oestrogenicity in the YES assay. The proliferative and genotoxic ability of the phthalates and alkylphenol, and the oestrogenicity of the treated effluents reported here, is significant as these EDCs and EDCs within the effluent may play a role in the etiology of human abnormalities.

蒙陕接壤区煤层顶板涌水水源智能判别方法

蒙陕接壤区煤炭高强度开采诱发的煤层顶板水害问题日益凸显,高效智能地判别煤层顶板涌水水源是顶板水害防治的关键。以蒙陕接壤区3个典型矿井为研究对象,将无机指标K^(+)+Na^(+)、Ca^(2+)、Mg^(2+)、Cl^(-)、SO_(4)^(2-)、HCO_(3)^(-)、TDS和有机指标UV_(254)、TOC、溶解性有机质(DOM)的荧光光谱作为判别指标,利用主成分分析法(PCA)对80组地下水水样数据进行主成分提取,提出一种人工鱼群算法(AFSA)改进随机森林(RF)的PCA-AFSA-RF顶板涌水水源智能判别方法。首先,建立PCA-RF判别模型,其准确率(A_(c))、精确率(P_(r))、召回率(R_(c))和F-measure指数(f_(1))分别达到了83.00%、83.17%、80.42%和79.57%;其次,通过AFSA对PCA-RF判别模型中决策树数目、树深和内部节点分裂所需的最小样本数进行寻优,在AFSA中引入遗传机制以避免陷入局部最优,建立基于PCA-AFSA-RF的煤层顶板涌水水源智能判别模型,该模型A_(c)、P_(r)、R_(c)、f_(1)分别达到92.18%、91.11%、87.58%和88.82%,较PCA-RF分别提高9.18%、7.94%、7.16%和9.25%,回代准确率达到97.50%;最后,利用该模型对12个矿井水水样进行判别,结果与现场实际相一致,表明AFSA改进后的PCA-RF模型具有更好的准确性和泛化能力。研究结果可为煤层顶板涌水水源的准确判别提供新方法。

话语转变与政治动员——论陕甘宁文艺运动中的“下乡入伍”

“下乡入伍”是抗战时期的一项重要文化政策和实践。与重口号宣传而轻组织动员的国统区大后方相比,在中国共产党领导下的陕甘宁边区,“下乡入伍”作为延安知识分子了解、反映边区军民生活的重要途径,不仅得到了边区机关、学校及各类协会的高度重视和有效组织,成为陕甘宁文艺运动的一个部分;更因为延安文艺座谈会的召开划分为各具特征的前后两期,在起到知识分子话语转变作用的同时,也对边区军民民族、国家意识的培养及其对中国共产党意识形态、政策制度的接受认可方面,发挥出巨大的政治动员效应。

新发展格局下湘赣边区域合作示范区建设成效、现实困境与优化路径

近年来,湘赣边区域合作示范区不断深化拓展合作领域,在合作机制、产业协同、文化旅游、政务服务、生态环境等领域都有不同程度的合作,取得显著成效,但也存在着各县(市、区)经济发展非均衡性扩大、现代产业体系不健全、高科技产业布局偏少、优秀人才流失现象比较严重、跨区域合作机制有待完善等现实困境。未来,应抓住湘赣边区域合作上升为国家战略的契机,推动现代产业集群发展;建立多个区域性中心城市,缩小城市发展差距;持续强化人才引育和服务力度,为湘赣边区域合作提供坚强人才支撑;推进跨区域合作制度和标准对接,推动多领域、多层次的合作共建,最终实现从省际边界区合作共识到合作共建的“湘赣边模式”新跨越。

唐代中国西南边疆拓南、开南二城的建置考论

经过了天宝战争及随后的军事扩张,位于唐代中国西南边疆的南诏国在较短的时期先后建置了拓东、开南、镇西、宁北四个王国边境的重要治所城镇,其中开南城与拓南城的考释自元末以后已多现舛误,造成了史实混淆。事实上,唐代中国西南边疆的拓南城与开南城确为南诏国开拓建置的两座新城,而非“开南亦称拓南”,元末以后,“拓南”名号逐渐隐没于原地,同时被移置于“开南”地望,开始混用一起。厘清二城地望考释,不难发现拓南城的建置开拓了南诏国的西南辖境,开南城的建置开拓了南诏国的南境,从而把中原的“郡县制”文化辐射到了西南边境区域,客观上促进了区域内各民族的交往交流交融,奠定了唐代及后世中国西南边境、边界形成和发展的历史基础,为唐代中国西南边境区域各民族铸牢中华民族共同体意识做出了贡献。

从减租减息到“五四”指示:过渡阶段的减租清算斗争——以晋绥边区崞县为中心的考察

减租清算是中共土地政策实现由减租减息向“耕者有其田”转变的必由之路,主要内容是民众以“算账”方式从被清算者手中取得一定数量的生产生活资料。随着清算果实分配,晋绥边区崞县某些区村各阶层间的地权关系发生微妙变化,呈现出“中间不动,两头平”的趋势。诚然,中共在减租清算过程中不得不面对因群众思想觉悟低下、封建敌对势力干扰及干部思想和工作作风不良而造成的诸多困境,但在行之有效的政策举措应对之下,崞县的减租清算斗争仍取得明显成效,民众在某种程度上实现经济和政治双重翻身,极大刺激了其生产和参军热情。而中共组织队伍则在这种斗争中得到淬炼,为此后土改政策贯彻执行累积了宝贵经验。

云南边疆民族地区体育旅游资源开发的问题与思考

云南省地处中国西南边疆,是世界上少有的多民族群体、多文化形态共生带,体育旅游资源具有鲜明的民族性、地域性、多样性和群体性。其基本特性与体育旅游的“具身性”本质相吻合,富有旅游开发价值。但是,在实际开发中仍存在整体开发不够充分、与已成形资源匹配不佳、产品缺乏文化内涵和市场引导不足等问题。需要立足边疆民族体育文化特性进行深度开发,不断提升边疆民族体育旅游产品文化附加值,形成具有持久生命力、竞争力的体育旅游品牌。
