Prevalence of Enteric Pathogens Associated with Infections among Table Egg Consumers in Some Primary Health Establishments in the Center Region of Cameroon

Method: In Cameroon limited data are available regarding the prevalence of enteric bacteria associated with table egg consuming infections. As such, a situational-based study was performed in patients with complains of stomach disorders after egg consumption. Data related to sociodemographic characteristics and other factors were collected using a structured based questionnaire. Stool culture of utmost importance in stomach disorders patients and serum were collected for typhoid serological test. Results: A total of 207 participants took part in the survey, Results indicated nontyphoidal Salmonella infections were highest in the 3 areas of study with Mfoundi (73.44%) having the highest level of infection compared to other bacterial infection. other enteric bacteria associated to this infection were E. coli serotype 157, Aeromonas, Citrobacter freundii, Enterobacter cloaca and typhi salmonella. Meanwhile salmonelosis caused by typhic salmonella had highest prevalence in the Lekie Division (13.11%) as a result of poor hygienic practices associated with the conservation and preparation of eggs, Stool culture was observed to detect more positive cases in the diagnosis of typhoid fever than Widal test, but with no statistically significant (p > 0.05) difference between the stool culture and Widal test in the 3 areas of study. Conclusion: this study revealed that egg consumers are pruned to enteric bacterial and salmonella infections depending on how and where egg is consumed.

How Chinese Financial Centers Integrate into Global Financial Center Networks:An Empirical Study Based on Overseas Expansion of Chinese Financial Service Firms

The increasing globalization of the Chinese economy has been enabled by both Chinese financial institutions operating globally as well as international firms operating within China. In geographical terms, this has been organized through a number of strategic cities serving as gateways for the exchange of financial functions, products and practices between China and the global economy. Drawing on location data of financial service firms in China listed on stock exchanges in Shenzhen, Shanghai and Hong Kong, this paper shows that Chinese financial firms are expanding globally and how Chinese financial centers are positioned and connected in the urban networks shaped by these financial service firms. It is found that Hong Kong, China, holds strategic positions in the integration of Chinese cities into global financial center networks, and that establishing a foothold in global financial centers such as New York and London has been a priority for Chinese financial institutions. The increasing capital flows directed by Chinese financial institutionssuggests a shifting global financial geography, with numerous Chinese cities playing increasingly important roles within global financial center networks.

Regional Financial Development and Regional Economic Growth: An Empirical Analysis of Suzhou City, China

There are many defects in researches on the relationship of the regional financial development (FD) and economic growth of China, such as simply assuming the causality direction, not highlighting financial institution, using incomplete financial indicator, etc. This article, taking Suzhou City of Jiangsu Province, China as a case, builds a simple model to study the level of FD from three aspects of financial scale, structure and institution. Three original indicators of PRIVY (private investment/aggregate investment), DEPTH (aggregate loan/GDP) and FDIVG (FDI/GDP) are used to construct the FD economic indicator through Principal Component Analysis approach. Then we use Granger method to analyze the relationship between the FD and the economic growth of Suzhou. Empirical test results show that the FD of Suzhou is the Granger reason of economic growth, while economic growth is not the reason for FD, because the relationship between the FD and the economic growth of Suzhou is just in the ″supply-leading″ period. In terms of Suzhou experiences, the local government should strengthen the protection of private investment, improve the institutional environment, and establish the reasonable financial structure. So we can concluded that FD could play a great role in promoting economic growth at the economy takeoff stage.

Impact of Financial Technology on Regional Green Finance

Finance is the core of modern economy,and a strong country cannot do without the support of financial system.With the rapid development of economy and society,the traditional financial services can not support the increasingly large and complex economic system.As a brand-new format,financial technology can help the financial industry to restructure and upgrade.At the same time,as an international consensus,green development is the only way for China to achieve sustainable development.Therefore,it is of great practical significance to study the impact of finance on the regional development of green finance.Based on the essence of green finance development,fuzzy principal component analysis is used to build the green finance evaluation index system in this paper.Taking the data of three provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Delta from 2015 to 2019 as an example,QAP analysis is used to study the impact of financial tech-nology on the regional development of green finance.Research shows that expla-natory variables are highly significant,that is,financial technology has a significant role in promoting green finance.Finally,based on the research conclu-sions,this paper puts forward suggestions on how green technology can better promote the development of green finance from three aspects of top-level design,technical research and supervision.

An Empirical Analysis of Regional Disparity of Financial Exclusion Based on Types and Levels of Financial Institution

We make an empirical analysis of regional characteristics of influence factors of financial exclusion by using the data of types and levels of financial institutions in China from 1998 to 2012. The study shows that the number of financial institutions continues to increase,but with uneven distribution; the density of financial institutions increases steadily and the gap between the eastern regions and the Midwest is huge; the commercial banks of the eastern regions account for the highest proportion but the rate of basic outlets of the commercial bank is low,the rate of basic outlets of the rural institution bank is relatively higher,and the proportion of the Midwest rural banks is high. Even though the financial exclusion eases,large differences still exist in different areas and the situation is rather critical in rural areas,especially the financial exclusion in western rural areas is the worst. The economic development level,area scale,government expenditure,personal savings level,per capita consumption and educational level have different effects on financial exclusion. Accordingly,this paper puts forward the recommendations for coordinating the financial resource from all regions and reducing the regional financial exclusion.

Research on vertical deformation during construction of Shanghai World Financial Center

Shanghai World Financial Center is one of the highest buildings in the world, of which cumulation of vertical deformation during construction is significant and worth investigating. A refined finite element model was developed to conduct full-process analysis of construction of super-high rise buildings like Shanghai World Financial Center, in which the discrete analysis method of time-varying structures and age-adjusted effective modulus method were both used. In the finite element analysis, the whole construction process was divided into a series of stages, each with a structural system that is a part of the whole structure and with different material parameters, geometrical parameters, loading and boundary conditions. The whole construction process of Shanghai World Financial Center in consideration of creep of concrete was simulated successfully by using the finite element model and the analytical method developed. With respect to different construction stage, the total vertical deformation, inter-floor compression deformation and the relative deformation between the outer frame and the core-wall were obtained through the analysis. The comparison between the results from the stage-wise full-process analysis of construction with and without considering the creep and the results from the conventional analysis of the whole building under the total load from all self-weight and construction applied to the structure "in one go" shows that the cumulative effect on the deformation from the construction process and the creep effect need to be considered in analyzing the deformation of Shanghai World Financial Center, and the super-high rise buildings suchlike. Finally, the simulation results correlate well with the monitoring results-a proof of the feasibility and the validity of this paper.

Correlation between Geographical Regional Economy and Construction of County-level Vocational Education Centers

In the period of Eleventh Five-Year Plan,the construction of county-level vocational education centers in Shanxi Province made great contribution to local social and economic development. Due to influence of special geography,population environment and regional economic development situation,it forms the pattern of strong in southeast and weak in northwest. Thus,scientific making plan for construction of vocational education centers in northwestern counties( cities) and establishing long-term mechanism for construction of vocational education centers will be helpful for serving regional economic construction.

The comparative African regional economics of globalization in financial allocation efficiency: the pre-crisis era revisited

This study assesses the role of globalization-fueled regionalization policies on the financial allocation efficiency of four economic and monetary regions in Africa from 1980 to 2008.Banking and financial system efficiency proxies are used as dependent variables and seven bundled and unbundled globalization variables are employed as independent indicators.The bundling is achieved by principal component analysis,while the empirical evidence is based on interactive fixed effects regressions.The findings are as follows.First,financial allocation efficiency is more sensitive to financial openness compared to trade openness and most sensitive to globalization.The relationship between allocation efficiency and globalization-fueled regionalization policies is defined by:(i)a Kuznets or inverted U-shaped curve in the UEMOA and CEMAC zones(evidence of decreasing returns for allocation efficiency from globalization-fueled regionalization)and(ii)a U-shaped relationship overwhelmingly in the COMESA and scantily in the EAC(increasing returns to allocation efficiency due to globalization-fueled regionalization).These relationships are relevant to the specific globalization dynamics within regions.Economic and monetary regions are more prone to surplus liquidity than pure economic regions are.Policy implications and measures for reducing surplus liquidity are also discussed.

Financial Street—Landmark of the Beijing Financial Center

Redefining Beijing For a long time Beijing has served as the political and cultural center for the country.While Shanghai and Shenzhen were encouraged to grow and reach their financial goals,Beijing cautiously dodged the label of a'financial center',in order to avoid the criticism of'redundant construc- tion'.However,Beijing is the birthplace of China's financial policies.Due to its special geographic position and drive

Financial deepening and regional economic growth Analysis on Circum-Bohai-Sea Region

Financial deepening can improve economic growth by facilitating capital liquidity and promoting efficiency of allocating resource, which has played an important role in the development of the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta in China. As a new economic growth pole, Circum-Bohai-Sea Region should focus on internal financial deepening. In this paper, SWOT analysis is used to observe the level of financial deepening in Circum-Bohai-Sea Region, and some related policy suggestions are given in the end.

An Empirical Study on Regional Differences of Higher Education Financial Aid in China

This paper uses empirical data to examine the issue of fairness of higher education student financial aid in China, noting different levels of regional economic development as the reason to explain the wide differences in available financial resources for student aid. Government efforts aimed at reducing the gap in recent years is discussed.

Financial and Structural Stimuli for Regional Growth

The economies during the post-industrial era are returning to the classical meaning of manufacturing sector in the process of balanced regional growth and are searching for stimuli for diversifying economic structure and reindustrialization. Expansion of a new growth theory highlighted the necessity for the well-developed so-called innovative manufacturing sector; however, stimuli for realizing the potential of this sector are limited due to relative attractiveness of sectors with lower risks and faster returns especially in regions followers. Moreover, regional success as a result of the previous development can hinder changes and stimulate economic agents to avoid regions and sectors with high potential but weak performance. Generation of regional economic growth can be considered in a framework of two kinds of stimuli as financial and structural. Financial capital as an important factor for supporting structural change in economy helps to stay in harmony with the modern economy; however, existing sectoral composition can be persistent to changes. Latvia is considered as a case study about issues on fmancial and structural stimuli for regional growth because of the bright dominance of capital city region （high regional differentiation） and typical post-industrial economic structure in parallel with an intention to actively participate in reindustrialization and increase the innovativeness of economy. This article searches whether foreign investment stock in a company＇s equity capital provides a stimulus for an industrial change at a micro level （five regions and 12 manufacturing sectors in accordance with statistical classification of economic activities NACE 2 Rev. （Nomenclature generale des Activities economiques dans les Communuates Europeennes） two-digit level） and whether this change contributes to the regional growth. Unbalanced regional growth as a result of reallocation of financial resources among sectors of economic activity and differences in distribution of economic success at a sectoral level provide a useful foundation for testing the impact of foreign direct investments （FDI） on changes in economic structure.

利益群体视角下江西省国家区域医疗中心建设探讨

建设国家区域医疗中心是促进优质医疗资源均衡布局的重大举措。江西省国家区域医疗中心建设数量多,且病种选择准、会商调度勤、思想统一快。但从政府、输出医院、依托医院等利益群体视角看,仍存在顶层设计不清晰、参与医院动力不足等问题,需要加快健全协调机制、明晰三方权责、完善考评和专班制度、优化绿色通道,强化输出医院动力,支持依托医院错位发展,打造可持续的双方合作与项目医院自我发展模式。

中国消费中心建设:现有格局、调整逻辑与发展路径

在制造业大国、生产中心背景下,我国又提出经济的消费转型,要建设消费大国,打造(国际)消费中心(城市)。当前,我国一些传统消费型城市经历了历史嬗变,后发的消费型城市更多立足于生产制造,一些偏远、基层城镇逐渐向消费中心转型,但大多数消费中心还未能实现专门性独立发展。从生产中心到消费中心有着很深的内在调整逻辑,包括经济增长动力改变,由供给推动向需求拉动转型;社会主要矛盾改变,更多化解发展不平衡不充分矛盾;经济水平提高,消费大发展的条件已经具备;资源和环境面临危机,需要以消费经济化解生产经济紧约束;国内外环境改变,消费中心担负经济突围重任。我国消费中心建设还存在诸多制约因素,如收入分配不合理,区域消费制约严重;过多生产作业加班,挤占生活消费空间;城市拥挤,消费流动不畅;公共设施落后,不能支撑消费大场景;更重生产,消费经济功能发挥有限;片面追求物质财富的拥有,全民生活消费筹划建设不够;内卷化竞争过于激烈,消费激情难以焕发;过多追名逐利,消费价值观有待重建。需要进行相关体制机制建设,政策调整方向包括适应生产劳动人工时间减少的趋势,增加消费时间;调整城市布局,畅通消费流;强化公共消费设施建设,营造消费大场景;调整收入分配,构建外向型消费结构;深化规律性认识,发挥好后工业时代消费对经济的主功能作用;引导消费,积极筹划消费蓝图;防范内卷化竞争,焕发全民消费激情;全面发展,重构生产价值和消费价值观体系。

金融素养对家庭金融参与的地区差异影响研究——基于数字普惠金融的调节效应

基于我国家庭金融调查数据与数字普惠金融指数,探究数字普惠金融的发展对金融素养与家庭金融参与关系的影响及其地区差异性。研究发现,金融素养的提高能显著促进家庭金融参与,数字普惠金融的发展可正向调节金融素养与家庭金融参与的关系,这一结果在增加工具变量和进行稳健性检验后依然成立。进一步研究发现,在“硬弱感地区”和“软弱感地区”,数字普惠金融的发展仅正向调节金融素养与家庭金融参与深度的关系;在“易感地区”,调节效应与总样本一致;在“无感地区”,调节效应不显著;金融素养与家庭金融参与深度的调节效应呈现“东部引领,中西部协调促进”的态势。
