Folding and stretching of the historical processes—The existence and transformation of she (territorial shrine) and their significance in the studies of Chinese history

She and she worship are very old traditions in Chinese society, originating from the ancient time and lasting until today. Both existed in the rites of the state and play important roles in popular daily life. As a marker of identity both for a state and for a community, she worship has been the most coherent representation of Chinese society and culture. Many have thought that she and she worship have disappeared, but through fieldwork, we found that they either continue to exist or are constantly transforming, continuously generating or reshaping themselves in the process of diverse and different steps of development in various regions in the country. By observations on living she and she worship in these regions, we may know more about the “folding” and “stretching” in the historical process in an ontological sense.

Optimizing Safe Dental Practice During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Recommendations Based on a Guide Developed for Dental Practices in China.

The current global coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is still exerting severe global implications, and its development in various regions is complex and variable. The high risk of cross-infection poses a great challenge to the dental practice environment; it is therefore urgent to develop a set of pandemic prevention measures to ensure dental practice safety during the COVID-19 outbreak. Therefore, we combined the epidemiological characteristics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), public emergency measures for COVID-19, characteristics of dental practice, and relevant literature reports to develop a set of dynamic practice measures for dental practices in high-, medium-, and low-risk areas affected by COVID-19. This will help dental practices to achieve standard prevention and ensure their safe and smooth operation during the pandemic. It is hoped that these measures will provide a reference basis for dental hospitals and dental clinics in their care and pandemic prevention work.

Design Strategy of New and Reconstructed Interchanges on Expressways

China's urban development is very fast, and the continuous improvement of the national economic level in recent years has also prompted most families to have their own scooters.

This paper starts with the basic reasons for the design of new and improved interchanges, and expounds the specific design type division and main influencing factors. Finally, the paper puts forward the design strategy of newly added and reconstructed interactive interchanges with high feasibility, hoping to provide reasonable reference for relevant road traffic engineering optimization.

Evaluation on sustainable development of forest tourism in Heilongjiang Province, China

As an old northeast industrial base and forestry region, Heilongjiang Province is facing problems such as urban decline, aging population and great pressure on environmental conservation. However, the development of ecological tourism is increasing year by year, which is an effective way to solve social problems such as employment and economic development in various regions. In view of this, this paper determines the index weight through expert scoring, and evaluates the overall sustainable development ability of forest tourism in Heilongjiang Province by using analytic hierarchy process, so as to provide reference for the development of forest tourism industry in Heilongjiang Province. The research showed that the sustainable development of forest tourism in Heilongjiang Province should mainly consider the resource support system, focus on improving the quality of forest tourism resources, preserving the characteristic tourism culture, improving the level of tourists' consumption and the per capita growth rate of residents' tourism income, and increasing infrastructure investment.

Energy Development Status and Developing Focus of Varied Regions in China

China has a vast territory, so the energy resource endowments of different regions in the country are significantly varied. Promoting regional energy revolution based on local conditions is an effective way to break the bottlenecks that restrict China’s energy development. This study analyzes the current situation of energy development from the aspects of energy production, consumption, and distribution, and investigates the differences regarding energy consumption intensity and the driving force for energy consumption growth in the core regions (i.e., the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region, Yangtze River Delta, Pearl River Delta, old industrial bases, the Central China, energy-rich areas, and Southwest China). The medium- and long-term energy development trends and strategic focuses of these regions by 2035 are analyzed. Specifically, the Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei region should focus on the coordinated development of energy, economy, and environment; an energy system with regional linkage should be formed and optimized in the Yangtze River Delta; the Pearl River Delta can strive to build itself as a clean energy production, storage, and transportation base; economic transformation should be promoted in the old industrial bases through value increment and diversification of energy resources; Central China should establish itself as an integrated energy hub; the energy-rich areas should build itself as a green and sustainable energy security base; and clean energy consumption should be encouraged in Southwest China. To coordinate energy development in various regions, China should fully consider the significant differences in local conditions, promote social development and ecological protection with the regional energy revolution, and encourage regional cooperation in energy.

State Educational Order as a Factor in the Socio-Economic Development of Regions

Introduction. Successful solution of the tasks of socio-economic development in the modern world is possible only in the case of effective functioning of the education system, which would provide training for a competitive personality, focused on continuous development and capable of “complying” with rapidly changing conditions of social reality. It is assumed that building an education development strategy, setting its goals and objectives should be based on the needs and problems of society, creating the basis for sustainable prosperity of the country and taking into account the needs of individual regions and territories. One of the most important mechanisms for the development of the regions of the Russian Federation remained the state educational order – officially developed task by the authorities for the creation of a specific educational product.The aims of the present article are the following: to determine the relationship between the educational state order, the volume of investments in the education system and the level of socio-economic condition of the regions; to identify the territories, which require support.Methodology and research methods. In the course of the study, the methods of comparative, statistical and system analysis, deduction and induction, generalisation and theoretical modelling were used. The object of the content analysis was the regional programmes for the development of education in 40 regions of the Russian Federation, covering the entire territory of Russia and reflecting the specific development of various regions depending on the remoteness of the capital, the status of the subject of the Russian Federation and the socio-economic development of the region.Results and scientific novelty. Russian regions were classified into four groups according to the results of the analysis of regional educational development – very high, high, moderate and low. A number of general and specific problems of education in the regions were identified: the lack of a single educational space and, as a result, the heterogeneity of educational programmes; regional leaders disregard for opportunities to expand socio-economic potential of the territories through the implementation of such programmes; the gap between the financing of education and its socio-economic importance, etc. The authors conclude that state educational order at the regional level is not considered as a vector of social and economic development of the territories, and its role is reduced to an educati onal level. It is established that the rate of development of education in the Russian regions does not always depend on their key socio-economic indicators. The greatest differentiation of the trend is recorded, when comparing the rate of development of the regional education systems and the gross regional product.Practical significance. The authors give recommendations to resolve disagreements over the formation of state education orders in the context of the socioeconomic development of regions. The need to develop regional economic development programmes, taking into account the specific social structure of the region, is emphasised. It is proposed to organise permanent social monitoring, which measures the quality of implementation of educational state order and strengthen the role of public participation when determining its content. The research materials and findings might be used by the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, whose competence includes educational development issues.

Church and religious life of the Armenian Diaspora of Ukraine in the 1-st half of the 20th century

The purpose of the article. The aim of the work is the holistic coverage and analysis of the specifics of the church-religious life of the Armenian communities of different regions of Ukraine in the 1-st half of the 20th century. The research methodology includes the methods of comparative analysis and synthesis, as well as historicity and contextuality. The scientific novelty of the research consists in reproducing the overall picture of the church-religious life of the Armenian communities of Ukraine, taking into account the specifics of the historical development of various regions of the country as a result of being under the authority of various states. Conclusions. The church-religious life of the Armenian communities in the Ukrainian lands, unlike other forms of public life, continued to preserve the specific features inherent in the culture of the Armenian people. All other forms of diaspora organizations (national representations, cultural centers, etc.) were always associated with Armenian church centers, and where such forms were absent, it was the church that continued to perform the function of a spiritual and cultural ethnic-consolidating factor in the life of Armenian communities.

Ecological and economic development trends of the regions

The current status of regional development is characterized by number of problems, associated with the depletion of natural resources and environmental pollution, that requires the development of green growth strategies. The measures to be taken should be differentiated depending on economic and ecological conditions of regions and their peculiarities. This article proposes a methodological approach to conducting a comprehensive assessment of ecological and economic development of regions. The approach is based on building a matrix of economic and ecological development of regions (a matrix summarizes the changes of numerous environmental and economic indicators, including environmental investments and current expenditures, as well as the main indicators of economic development of various regions). Approbation of the methodological approach was carried out using data on 80 regions of Russia. This approach can be used to assess the effectiveness of environmental and economic integration of transboundary regions, characterized by complex and conflicting environmental and economic interactions.

Komodifikasi Tradisi Bedah Blumbang sebagai Objek Wisata Budaya di Kabupaten Semarang

Tourism is one of the most important sectors in the development process in the country of Indonesia. Cultural tourism development in various regions has led to cultural commercialization practices. Cultural commercialization includes the reconstruction of art and traditions and the practice of everyday life into stage performances that can be enjoyed by tourists. Gintungan Hamlet is one of the hamlets located at the of Mount Ungaran. In this hamlet there is a spring (pennant). The spring has until now become the center of the bedah blumbang ritual. Bedah blumbang that has been going on for decades has inevitably experienced various changes. These changes include changes in the procedures for implementing, completing ceremonies, and involving the community. At the stage of the procession, the tradition of blumbang surgery has become a place for cash exchange market activities with bazaar performances. The commodification of tourism in this blunt surgical tradition has a negative and positive impact. The negative impact is that there are various fundamental changes in its implementation, especially in determining the timing of implementation. The positive impact is that tourism development is also accompanied by infrastructure development that can be used widely by the people of Gintungan Hamlet, the opening of information from inside and outside the hamlet, and revitalizing the tradition of blunt surgery. this research uses ethnographic methods

Regional Development Inequalities in Kenya: Can Devolution Succeed Where Other Strategies Failed?

Regional development planning strategies are often applied to reduce and in the long run eliminate major inequalities and disparities among regions. Since independence, the government of Kenya has employed numerous regional development planning strategies with the aim of addressing the worsening trend of spatial inequalities. These strategies include growth centre strategy, service centre strategy, District Focus for Rural Development and Rural Trade and Production Centers among others. Nonetheless, the effort of the government to create balanced regional development in all parts of the country has not borne any fruit. Instead, the country is still grappling with a dual spatial system characterized by polarized and unequal development in favour of those regions that had comparative advantage at independence. The introduction of the devolved system of governance, however, heralds the optimism that regional spatial inequalities would gradually be addressed. This paper explores the origin and dynamics of regional disparities and unbalanced development in Kenya and thereafter interrogates the potential of devolution in promoting balanced development of the various regions in the country. A desk study approach was used in undertaking this study. It was established that with devolution, there has been a marked increase in funds available for development in various regions of the country. As such, it offers the potential to redress the hitherto unbalanced regional development in Kenya.

Industrial Policies and Group Company Debt Distribution

Under the background of imperfect financial system construction in China, the financial development of various regions shows inadequate and unbalanced characteristics. The lag of financial development leads to higher financing constraints, especially in non-state-owned enterprises. At the same time, with more and more diversified business of listed companies, group operation has become an important strategic organizational form for the development of companies, and the financing activities of group companies have a significant impact on their sustainable development. In daily operation, group companies will take the parent company on behalf of the group, undertake the task of raising funds needed for the development of the whole group, and then allocate funds among subsidiaries（hereinafter referred to as concentrated liabilities”）. At present, China is in the stage of supply-side structural reform, and deleveraging is the most difficult task in supply-side structural reform. Deleveraging is mainly aimed at adjusting the high debt ratio of enterprises. In order to implement the task of deleveraging in an orderly way, the most basic task is to accurately identify the debt ratio of enterprises. Concentrated liabilities of group companies may lead to invisible liabilities of subsidiaries. More importantly, invisible liabilities will gradually increase the systemic risk of the industry and increase the instability of the real economy. Therefore, it is not only of great theoretical significance, but also of profound policy implications to study the concentrated liabilities of group companies. Based on the above research background, this paper examines the impact of industrial policies on the concentrated liabilities of listed companies and their economic consequences. The test results show that the group listed companies supported by industrial policies have higher degree of concentrated liabilities, and this relationship is more obvious in non-state-owned group companies, while weakening in group companies whose subsidiaries have relatively stronger profitability. The test of economic consequences shows that companies with concentrated liabilities enlarge the financing convenience brought by industrial policies, not only significantly reduce the financing cost of the company debt, but also significantly reduce the inefficient investment of companies, especially alleviate the insufficient investment of companies. The research results also support the financing expansion effect” of group companies with concentrated liabilities supported by industrial policies, and the interest-saving effect of loans”. The possible contributions of this paper are as follows: First, based on the financing convenience of industrial policies, this paper empirically verifies the motivation and mechanism of the group company’s concentrated liabilities. The results show that the group company is more willing to use the method of concentrated liabilities to finance under the support of industrial policies, in order to reduce the financing cost of the company. Second, this paper takes industrial policies as the breakthrough point, and discusses how industrial policies affect the debt way of group listed companies. This is different from the previous studies which simply regard listed companies as a whole. This study will help to expand the research framework of macroeconomic policies and micro-enterprise behavior. Third, using the advantage of financial data disclosure of listed companies in China, this paper studies how group companies choose debt financing under the influence of industrial policies, which is different from the previous focus on micro-factors of group companies, enriching the relevant research on the financial behavior of group companies.

Enhancing Urban Comprehensive Capacity for Urbanization Development: An Empirical Application of China’s Southwest Ethnic Region

We can say that enhancing the capacity and functionality of urbanization is the key to China’s development. However, the urbanization development in various regions of China is unbalanced, especially in the southwestern ethnic region with relatively lagging behind the development. As a yardstick of urbanization development, urban comprehensive carrying capacity can provide a reference for urbanization development. Therefore, in order to promote the urbanization process in the southwestern ethnic region, this paper constructed an index system for measuring the urban comprehensive carrying capacity and used entropy method and coupling coordination degree model to calculate the urban comprehensive carrying capacity in China’s southwest ethnic region in 2003-2016 and the coupling coordination between its elements. The results display that the overall carrying capacity of cities in the southwestern ethnic region shows an upward trend in 2003-2016: By analyzing the evolution of different elements, improving traffic and communication capacity significantly, population and environmental carrying capacity are relatively high; while the degree of coupling coordination of each element is not generally high, and the comprehensive carrying capacity and element coupling coordination degree of cities show that the spatial and temporal patterns are “double high” and “double low”.

Analysis of Economic Development in Various Regions of Russia and Their Prospects

Социально-экономическая ситуация в России является довольно сложной. Хотя переход в положительную фазу роста приобрел продолжение, качественные и количественные характеристики данного повышения нельзя признать удовлетворительными. Однако определенные показатели, которые отрицательно характеризуют экономическую динамику, не всегда говорят о негативных трендах. В статье проведен анализ развития экономики различных регионов России (в частности, Ростовская область и Краснодарский край). Выделены перспективы развития экономики в рассматриваемых субъектах Российской Федерации. Анализ экономики Ростовской области и Краснодарского края показал, что достигнуты соответствующие успехи и есть предпосылки для устойчивого экономического повышения. The socio-economic situation in Russia is quite complicated. Although the transition to a positive growth phase is in progress, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of this improvement cannot be considered satisfactory. However, some indicators that characterize the economic dynamics negatively do not always indicate the negative trends. The paper describes the analysis of the economies development in various regions of Russia (in particular, the Rostov region and the Krasnodar Territory). The prospects for the economies development in the mentioned constituent entities of the Russian Federation were stated in the paper. The investigation identified the prospects for the Krasnodar Territory economy development, such as securing and increasing the competitive advantages in the traditional industries to create a sustainable model of improvement; slight increasing of the human capital; implementing a limited number of the long-term priority programs and projects that realize the comparative advantages of the social sphere and economy; insignificant increasing of the investment climate; developing the conditions for the spatial improvement; improving the institutional environment, which facilitates the balanced sustainable development; increasing the integration processes in international and interregional socio-economic space. The economies analysis in the Rostov region and the Krasnodar Territory showed that the appropriate progress had been made and there were the prerequisites for the sustainable economic improvement.

Can the “Two-Oriented Society” Synthetically Reform Testing District Promote Green Development?

The Two-Oriented Society” Synthetically Reform Testing District（TSSRTD）aims to explore the scientific and rational model of the Two-Oriented Society” construction and the suitable supporting system. Due to the characteristics of economic development, ecological environment, and infrastructure, Wuhan urban agglomerations and Chang-Zhu-Tan urban agglomerations were selected as the TSSRTD at the end of December 2007. The main purpose of its construction is to achieve green development by promoting the balance of economic development and resource and environment constraints. This policy has been implemented for more than 10 years. Whether it can promote the transformation of the economic growth mode to the low energy consumption and low pollution, so as to achieve green development? If the answer is yes, what are the mechanisms? The in-depth investigation of these questions will provide a reference for China to further promote and extend the Two-Oriented Society” construction and to realize the green development proposed in the fifth Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee. This article first reviews and analyzes the policy background of the TSSRTD and the theoretical mechanisms that may affect green development. In order to measure the regional green development level, we use the non-radial and non-angular SBM directional distance function to measure the Malmquist-Luenberger index（GTFP）of 276 cities in China for 2004−2015. On this basis, we use the difference-in-differences model combined with the Propensity Score Matching（PSM-DID）to estimate the impact of the TSSRTD on the green development of pilot cities and identify its influence mechanisms. The main conclusions are as follows: First, the TSSRTD can promote regional green development, which is still established after a series of robustness tests. Second, there are two practical mechanisms by which the TSSRTD promotes green development, namely, this policy can promote green development by enhancing human capital and reducing environmental pollution. Third, the TSSRTD is likely to affect green development through the government scale, the second industry, the third industry, FDI, the population density and the financial development, but these potential impact mechanisms have not played a role. In addition, the energy consumption of the pilot cities does not decrease significantly after this policy, which also restricts the promotion of green development. The conclusions of the article provides important enlightenments for the green development of various regions in China, including further promoting the implementation of the talent policy to improve the level of human capital, building a complete Two-Oriented” service system, effectively improving the efficiency of energy utilization and reducing the level of pollution, striving to improve the quality of foreign investment, and promoting the flow of interregional factors of production, etc. The main contributions of the article are as follows: First, the PSM-DID method is used to estimate the economic effect of the TSSRTD. This method can effectively control the difference between the experimental group and the control group in order to achieve the data balance, and also alleviate the influence of the data deviation and the confounded variables, thus producing accurate estimates. Second, using the comprehensive index of Green Total Factor Productivity to measure green development, we can measure the economic effect of the TSSRTD in a comprehensive and systematic way. Finally, we effectively identify the impact mechanisms of the TSSRTD on green development.

Cause and Prevention Measures of Concrete Cracks during the Construction of Road and Bridge Engineering

Road and bridge engineering is an indispensable part of socialist economic construction in China, whose construction quality signifcantly affects the infrastructure construction level in the whole society. To meet the rapid economic development of various regions, construction scale and quantity of road and bridge engineering have been continuously expanded and increased, therefore, higher requirements for construction quality and construction standard are also presented. During the construction of road and bridge engineering, concrete crack is a key problem which affects the construction quality. In this regard, this paper analyzes cause and prevention measures of concrete cracks during the construction of road and bridge engineering, and hopes to provide construction personnel with valuable references.

Peran Pembangunan Infrastruktur terhadap Ketimpangan Ekonomi Antarwilayah di Indonesia

Infrastructure disparity is considered as one of the factors that enhances economic inequality between regions. In the Indonesian context, the issue is interesting to be examined, especially the government is currently encouraging infrastructure development in various regions in Indonesia.This study aims at analyzing the dynamics of infrastructure and economic inequalities between regions (provinces) in Indonesia and examining the relationship between the two. This research employs several methods, namely Williamson Index, Klassen typology, and correlation and regression analyses. These methods are to provide an adequate scope of analysis to investigate trends and linkages of infrastructure development and economic imbalances between provinces in Indonesia. The study results find that the economic gap (in term of GRDP per capita) among the provinces in Indonesia was relatively high during the period 2011-2015. It was confirmed by the value of Williamson Index at 0.7 points. The relatively high rate of the gap was mostly associated with the infrastructure gap among the provinces. Strong positive correlation between the gap of GRDP per capita and of infrastructure among provinces. This delivers a strong message to the government to accelerate equal development programs proportionally in lagging regions in order to reduce development bias to more developed regions.
