description: Abstract To describe the 5 years’ trajectories in functionality and pain of patients with hip or knee osteoarthritis and arthroplasty and analyze the association of these with long-term patients survival. Patients with OA receiving total hip or knee arthroplasty were recruited and completed two sets of standardized questionnaires for functionality and pain 6, 12, and 60 months postoperatively. Multivariate mixed models were conducted to assess trajectories over time and the resulting improvement per month during the last time period was included in a landmark-model to estimate adjusted hazard ratios for mortality. In total 809 patients with joint replacement were included (mean age 65.0 years, 62.2% female), 407 patients died (median follow-up 18.4 years). Both instruments of functionality and pain showed extensive improvement during the first 6 months. Baseline and change in functionality (both p < 0.001) and pain (p = 0.02) during the first 6 months were associated with mortality. Better values in functionality corresponded with improved survival whereas the association with the pain scores was inverse. In patients with hip and knee OA, an explicit improvement in function is seen within the first 6 months after arthroplasty. In addition, especially the functionality scores at baseline as well as their improvement showed an association with long-term patient survival.

description: Protestaktionen von Bauern, die ihres Landes beraubt wurden, Streiks von Arbeitern für bessere Arbeitsbedingungen, Demonstrationen von Wanderarbeitern wegen ausstehender Lohnzahlungen oder gar Gruppen pensionierter Soldaten, die in Beijing Eingaben zur Absicherung ihres Lebensunterhalts Vorbringen, wären das Letzte, was sich Parteichef Hu Jintao während des XVII. Parteitags der Kommunistischen Partei Chinas (KPCh) wünscht, der am 15. Oktober 2007 beginnen soll. Dieses Großereignis steht vielmehr unter dem Motto der Errichtung einer harmonischen Gesellschaft. Hu und auch Ministerpräsident Wen Jiabao präsentieren sich schon seit dem letzten Parteitag vor fünf Jahren als Führungskräfte, die breiten Rückhalt in der Bevölkerung finden. Ein umfangreiches Dokument zur Erläuterung des Harmonie-Konzepts hat das Zentralkomitee der KPCh im letzten Oktober verabschiedet. Nach einem entsprechenden Beschluss des Politbüros von Mitte September ist davon auszugehen, dass die 2.220 Delegierten des Parteitags Hus Ideen billigen und sie in das Parteistatut aufnehmen werden.

Politics of China's "Green GDP"
Creators: name: Steinhardt, H. Christioph
name: Jiang, Yihong
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: This article analyses the politics of the Chinese green GDP project and its recent deadlock. In order to gain a more thorough understanding of the political backdrop of the project, the local politics behind the Chinese environmental crisis have been taken as the analytical focus of this paper. Drawing on recent research, it is argued that local cover-ups of frequently illegal environmental exploitation - which is commonly made responsible for China’s environmental problems - are largely induced by the structure of the Party-state. This leads to the conclusion that the causal reason for the deadlock in the green GDP is not, as is often reported, resistance from local leaders, but rather the lack of support from the very top level on the eve of the 17th Party Congress due to the green GDP’s heavy political baggage.

Produktqualität und -Sicherheit: Chinas außenwirtschaftliche Achillesferse
Creators: name: Schüller, Margot
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: Chinas außenorientierte Reformpolitik zielt auf die schnelle Integration in die Weltwirtschaft und bezieht hieraus inzwischen wichtige Wachstumsimpulse. Wie stark die chinesische Wirtschaft international verflochten ist, spiegelt sich nicht nur in der hohen Exportquote (2006: ca. 60%), sondern in dem bedeutenden Anteil von Unternehmen mit Auslandskapital am gesamten Außenhandel wider (2006: ca. 60%). Attraktive Standortbedingungen, insbesondere niedrige Lohnkosten, begünstigen die Ausweitung der Produktion auf oder die Verlagerung von Wertschöpfungsketten multinationaler Unternehmen nach China, um dort für den Weltmarkt und den expandierenden Binnenmarkt Produkte herzustellen. Als derzeit drittgrößter Exporteur strengt sich China an, Deutschland zukünftig zu überholen.

description: This thesis summarizes recent advances in beamsplitter technology for massive matter waves. It describes the realization, testing, and exploration of new grating mechanisms and their applications for molecular matter-wave diffraction. These include both mechanical and light gratings. To characterize the gratings as thoroughly as possible, we concentrate on diffraction at a single grating. Furthermore, we present novel ways to manipulate and study two-dimensional materials employing atomic beams that open new vistas for materials research.
Administration, Censorship and Control in the Chinese Media: The State of the Art
Creators: name: Scharping, Thomas
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: While China’s policies of reform and opening-up have triggered far-reaching economic transformations in the media sector, and the leeway for uncensored reporting has widened, the principles of political supervision remain essentially unchanged. Despite some organizational reshuffling and recurrent jurisdictional adjustments, the basic bureaucratic set-up for enforcing media compliance with Party policies stays in line with the Leninist arrangements of the 1950s. The challenges for effective control posed by the technological revolution in mass communication have been met by new innovations in the monitoring and filtering of sensitive reports. Although rule by law has also spread to the media, it lags behind the standards reached in some other spheres of Chinese public life. Regulations stipulate a host of licensing requirements. They stress media duties and remain largely silent on media rights. The enforcement system is marked by strains between multiple actors and unresolved tensions with the principles of economic reform.

Estimating the Effect of Green Space on Academic Achievement in New York City

description: This paper investigates the relationship between urban green space and academic achievement (standardized test scores) for public elementary schools in New York City. In 2010 and 2017, I find evidence of a neighborhood-level positive association of tree canopy with test scores. However, there is little evidence of any association when only tree canopy close to schools is considered. Results are robust to hierarchical mixed-effects model specifications. I also conduct one of the first longitudinal analyses of the green space-educational outcomes relationship. I find initial evidence that increases in tree canopy around elementary schools between 2010 and 2017 were associated with decreased grade-average test performance for high-poverty schools and were not significantly associated with changes in test performance of non-high poverty schools, a result that somewhat contradicts the positive comparative static results. To reconcile my findings, I construct an extended econometric model detailing potential bias in the green space-educational outcomes relationship that might arise from unobserved changing dimensions of inequality, with the adoption of Common Core curricula starting in 2013 serving as a pertinent example. Standard econometric approaches do not capture time-varying unobserved characteristics associated with observational data, so omitted factors that covary both with changes in green space and changes in test scores may bias the estimated green space-educational outcomes relationship. Future researchers should intentionally consider the co-development of urban green space with salient unobserved factors when estimating and interpreting the effect of changes in green space on educational outcomes over time.
Ethisch-moralische Grenzen öffentlicher Kommunikation - vernachlässigte Dimension im Diskurs um Internetzensur in China

description: Die Berichterstattung über die Entwicklung des Internets in China ist seit seiner Freigabe für die allgemeine Öffentlichkeit insbesondere in westlichen Medien vielfach von einer starken Einschränkung der Perspektiven geprägt. Wenn nicht euphorisch die rapide wachsenden Nutzerzahlen kommentiert werden, handelt es sich meist um Diskussionen, die um die Blockierung ausländischer Websites, die Zensur politisch orientierter Inhalte oder die Verfolgung sogenannter Internetdissidenten kreisen (u.v.a. Reporters Without Borders 2007). So werden - völlig zu Recht und dennoch vielfach unter Ausblendung der Regelungen und Möglichkeiten in den Ländern der Kritiker selbst - die restriktiven gesetzlichen Regelungen rund um die Informations- und Redefreiheit in chinesischen Medien und im Internet im Besonderen kritisiert. Dieser Beitrag widmet sich demgegenüber der im westlichen Diskurs weitestgehend vernachlässigten Frage des Wunsches nach Kontrolle und Beschränkung der freien Rede seitens der chinesischen Internetnutzer selbst.

Gay Space in Chinese Cyberspace: Self-Censorship, Commercialisation and Misrepresentation
Creators: name: Wing Wah Ho, Loretta
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: This paper seeks to investigate the gay space in Chinese cyberspace. It has two main goals. It explores how the internet is used as a system of state control and a sphere of theoretical freedom. It also delves into how some of the Chinese gay-oriented websites are increasingly self-censored and commercialised in Chinese cyberspace. In this paper, I argue that the growing commercialisation of the gay space in Chinese cyberspace marks a paradoxical development of the Chinese internet, where state control, a degree of freedom of expression, and self-censorship coexist. I use cyber anthropology as a research methodology to demonstrate how online material can offer untapped textual resources concerned with the construction of emerging gender and sexual identities in Chinese cyberspace.

China's Women Sex Bloggers and Dialogic Sexual Politics on the Chinese Internet
Creators: name: Farrer, James
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: Sexual politics on China’s internet entered a new age with the “Mu Zimei phenomenon” in 2003. With the publication of Mu Zimei’s sex diary and the controversy surrounding, millions of Chinese “netizens” became involved in a debate over sexual rights that involve a wide variety of claims and counter claims, including claims of freedom of expression, social progress, natural rights, property rights, women’s rights, rights of privacy, and community responsibilities. The cases of Mu Zimei and subsequent women bloggers point out how sexual rights discourse should be understood as an adversarial dialogue among a variety of social actors using a variety of discursive frameworks, a view consistent with a dialogic conception of sexual politics on the internet.1 (Manuscript received March 3, 2007; accepted for publication July 12, 2007)

description: Background: This study assessed the short and the long term safety of the 2009 AS03 adjuvanted monovalent pandemic vaccine through an active web-based electronic surveillance. We compared its safety profile to that of the seasonal trivalent inactivated influenza vaccine (TIV) for 2010–2011. Methodology/Principal Findings: Health care workers (HCW) vaccinated in 2009 with the pandemic vaccine (Arepanrix H from GSK) or HCW vaccinated in 2010 with the 2010–2011 TIV were invited to participate in a web-based active surveillance of vaccine safety. They completed two surveys the day-8 survey covered the first 7 days post-vaccination and the day-29 survey covered events occurring 8 to 28 days after vaccination. Those who reported a problem were called by a nurse to obtain details. The main outcome was the occurrence of a new health problem or the worsening of an existing health condition that resulted in a medical consultation or work absenteeism. For the pandemic vaccine, a six-month follow-up for the occurrence of serious adverse events (SAE) was conducted. Among the 6242 HCW who received the pandemic vaccine, 440 (7%) reported 468 events compared to 328 of the 7645 HCW (4.3%) who reported 339 events after the seasonal vaccine. The 2009 pandemic vaccine was associated with significantly more local reactions than the 2010–2011 seasonal vaccine (1% vs. 0.03%, p,0.001). Paresthesia was reported by 7 HCW (0.1%) after the pandemic vaccine but by none after the seasonal vaccine. For the pandemic vaccine, no clustering of SAE was found in the 6 month follow-up. Conclusion: The 2009 pandemic vaccine seems to have a good safety profile, similar to the 2010–2011 TIV, with the exception of local reactions. This surveillance was adequately powered to identify AE associated with an excess risk $1 per 1000 vaccinations but is insufficient to detect rare AE.

description: Background: Obstetrical interventions, including caesarean sections, are increasing in Canada. Canadian women’s psychological states, fatigue, and sleep have not been examined prospectively for contributions to obstetric interventions and adverse neonatal outcomes. Context and purpose of the study: The prospective study was conducted in British Columbia (BC), Canada with 650 low-risk pregnant women. Of those women, 624 were included in this study. Women were recruited through providers’ offices, media, posters, and pregnancy fairs. We examined associations between pregnant women’s fatigue, sleep deprivation, and psychological states (anxiety and childbirth fear) and women’s exposure to obstetrical interventions and adverse neonatal outcomes (preterm, admission to NICU, low APGARS, and low birth weight). Methods Data from our cross-sectional survey were linked, using women’s personal health numbers, to birth outcomes from the Perinatal Services BC database. After stratifying for parity, we used Pearson’s Chi-square to examine associations between psychological states, fatigue, sleep deprivation and maternal characteristics. We used hierarchical logistic regression modeling to test 9 hypotheses comparing women with high and low childbirth fear and anxiety on likelihood of having epidural anaesthetic, a caesarean section (stratified for parity), assisted vaginal delivery, and adverse neonatal outcomes and women with and without sleep deprivation and high levels of fatigue on likelihood of giving birth by caesarean section, while controlling for maternal, obstetrical (e.g., infant macrosomia), and psychological variables. Results Significantly higher proportions of multiparas, reporting difficult and upsetting labours and births, expectations of childbirth interventions, and health stressors, reported high levels of childbirth fear. Women who reported antenatal relationship, housing, financial, and health stressors and multiparas reporting low family incomes were significantly more likely to report high anxiety levels. The hypothesis that high childbirth fear significantly increased the risk of using epidural anaesthesia was supported. Conclusions Controlling for some psychological states and sleep quality while examining other contributors to outcomes decreases the likelihood of linking childbirth fear anxiety, sleep deprivation, and fatigue to increased odds of caesarean section. Ameliorating women’s childbirth fear to reduce their exposure to epidural anaesthesia can occur through developing effective interventions. These include helping multiparous women process previous experiences of difficult and upsetting labour and birth.
Ideologiewandel in der chinesischen Religionspolitik: Überwindung einer Legitimitätskrise?
Creators: name: Hetmanczyk, Philipp
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: Religionspolitik ist in der Volksrepublik China kein periodisch auftauchendes Phänomen. Sie zeigt entweder in Form von Kritik ausländischer NGOs an der Situation mangelnder Religionsfreiheit und der Verfolgung religiöser Gemeinschaften oder im Inneren durch neue Vorschriften, Sondersitzungen und Konferenzen zur Konstellationsbestimmung zwischen der KPCh und den religiösen Organisationen andauernde Präsenz. Dass sich die Religionspolitik in der VR China zu einem permanenten Problemfeld für die Partei entwickelt hat, liegt aber weniger in der von außen geübten Kritik begründet als vielmehr in der religionspolitischen Agenda, die sich die Regierung selbst verordnet hat.

Zehn turbulente Jahre seit dem Souveränitätswechsel in Hongkong

Publisher: name: China aktuell

description: Am 1. Juli 2007 jährt sich die Rückgabe der ehemaligen britischen Kronkolonie Hongkong an die VR China unter der Formel „ein Land, zwei Systeme“ zum zehnten Mal. Sowohl politisch als auch wirtschaftlich durchlief die Sonderverwaltungsregion (SVR) in diesem Zeitraum turbulente Jahre. Zum Zeitpunkt der Rückgabe waren die Ängste groß, in welchem Umfang Hongkongs System und seine Autonomie, wie von Deng Xiaoping versprochen, trotz der Anbindung an ein autoritäres Regime in den kommenden 50 Jahren bewahrt werden könnte. Während im Jahr 1997 das Zauberwort noch „Kontinuität“ war, drängte die SVR bald auf Veränderungen und musste dabei einige Rückschläge einstecken. Wie eine Meinungsumfrage der University of Hong Kong zeigt, erreichte das Vertrauen der Hongkonger Bevölkerung in die Beijinger Zentralregierung und die Formel „ein Land, zwei Systeme“ im April 2007 trotzdem einen Höchststand seit Beginn der Dokumentation 1992. Phasenweise übertraf es sogar das in die eigene Regierung. Das Vertrauen in die Zukunft Hongkongs kehrt nach einem Tiefstand im August 2002 gleichfalls stetig zurück (SCMP, 27.4.07). Die folgende Analyse wird die wirtschaftlichen wie auch politischen Entwicklungen der vergangenen zehn Jahre nachzeichnen, qualitative Veränderungen im Inneren und im Verhältnis zwischen Hongkong und dem chinesischen Festland aufzeigen sowie einen Blick auf die künftigen Herausforderungen werfen.

description: Der Schutz geistigen Eigentums (Intellectual Property Rights, kurz IPR) in der Volksrepublik China steht im Jahr 2007 auf jeder internationalen Agenda. Nicht nur die Tagespresse ist voll von Berichten über gefälschte Prada-Handtaschen und nachgebaute Magnetschwebebahnen. Auch in der deutschen Außenpolitik wird das Thema hochgehängt: Im Rahmen ihrer EU-Präsidentschaft hat Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel die Frage von Produktpiraterie und Technologieklau auf ihre Agenda gesetzt (BReg 2007a:24). Auf dem G-8-Gipfel - diesen Sommer in Heiligendamm auch unter deutscher Präsidentschaft - ist der Patentschutz ebenfalls ein zentrales Thema (BReg 2007b:3). Und die Bundesjustizministerin stellt passend dazu das jährliche, hochkarätig besetzte Symposium des deutschchinesischen Rechtsstaatsdialogs 2007 unter das Motto „Schutz des geistigen Eigentums“ (BMJ 2006).

Vergangenheitsbewältigung in der VR China: Die Aufarbeitung der Hungersnot im Großen Sprung nach vorn

Year: 2020

description: Dieser Artikel analysiert, wie der chinesische Staat und die Gesellschaft fast 50 Jahre nach dem „Großen Sprung nach vorne“ (195 8-1961) die Hungersnot aufarbeiten. Die weit verbreitete Ansicht, dass in China keine Auseinandersetzung mit der Vergangenheit stattfindet, wird widerlegt. Basierend auf der Gedächtnistheorie von Jan Assmann wird die offizielle Interpretation der Regierung mit inoffiziellen Erinnerungen verglichen. Dabei wird gezeigt, wie kritische Akademiker und lokale Kader Lücken im offiziellen Kanon nutzen, um das Leiden der Bauern und staatlichen Terror zu thematisieren. Das kommunikative Gedächtnis von Dorfbewohnern hält die Erinnerungen an den Überlebenskampf während der Hungersnot bis heute wach. Trotz der vielfältigen Diskurse gibt es in China bisher keine politische Kraft, die, basierend auf den Erinnerungen der Bauern, die Hegemonie der Kommunistischen Partei in der Geschichtsschreibung brechen könnte. Die große Kluft zwischen Stadt und Land verhindert eine Verbindung von alternativen Erinnerungsdiskursen zu einer neuen Historiografie.

Subjects: subject: 340

description: The Preventive Restructuring Directive (PRD) has triggered a new era of regulatory competition. Member States are introducing new laws aimed at making themselves the new destination of choice for corporate restructuring. However, the PRD has failed to provide a clear answer to some key issues: international jurisdiction, recognition and applicable law. This article analyses these questions in detail and proposes answers.
Self-management interventions in the digital age : New approaches to support people with rheumatologic conditions

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2024

description: Self-management interventions are considered a key component of rheumatologic care. Access to these programmes, however, is an issue for some patients, especially those working full time or living in rural and remote communities. Recently, there has been an increase in the use of digital media technologies to deliver self-management interventions. Digital media (e.g., websites, mobile applications, social networking tools, online games and animation) provide tremendous flexibility for delivering health information and resources at a time and place that is chosen by the individual; hence, they are consistent with the patient-centred approach. This review discusses: (1) innovations in self-management interventions for patients with arthritis and (2) research in the use of digital media for delivering self-management interventions.
Implication de la diaspora Togolaise dans la planification des projets de développement local: étude de cas du village de Bohou Tchamdè
Creators: name: Meheza Justine MONDORO
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: L’implication de la diaspora dans la planification des actions de développement local est importante. Mais celle du village de Bohou-Tchamdè au Togo n’est pas impliquée à hauteur dans les initiatives de développement de ladite localité. Cette étude vise à déterminer d’une part le niveau d’implication et à analyser d’autre part les déterminants de l’implication de la diaspora Togolaise dans la planification des projets de développement local. Pour la rendre effective, notre méthodologie de collecte de l’information a été axée sur une enquête en ligne auprès des Ressortissants et Diaspora (Togolaise et d’origine du village de Bohou-Tchamdè) pour connaitre le degré d’implication et les facteurs qui déterminent leur implication. L’étude nous a permis d’aboutir à des résultats qui confirment que le niveau d’implication de la diaspora Togolaise (migrant interne et externe) est faible. En effet les facteurs qui influencent négativement la non implication de la diaspora Togolaise dans le processus de planification des projets de développement sont : le manque de stratégie (une feuille de route) ; l’absence des associations regroupant les diasporas pour une cause commune, le manque de liens de confiance entre la diaspora et les parents du pays ou milieu d’origine.  En outre les variables comme le niveau d’instruction et le genre sont les déterminants qui influencent significativement l’implication de la diaspora.

Publisher: name: BioMed Central

description: Background: Little is known about service providers’ knowledge, attitudes, and experiences in relation to the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of individuals seeking care for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and how they influence the delivery of services. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of STI care providers and the ways they approached their practice. Methods: We used a qualitative approach drawing on methods used in thematic analysis. Individual semi-structured in-depth interviews were conducted with 21 service providers delivering STI services in youth clinics, STI clinics, reproductive health clinics, and community public health units in British Columbia (BC), Canada. Results: Service providers’ descriptions of their activities and roles were shaped by a number of themes including specialization, scarcity, and maintaining the status quo. The analysis suggests that service providers perceive, at times, the delivery of STI care to be inefficient and inadequate. Conclusion: Findings from this study identify deficits in the delivery of STI services in BC. To understand these deficits, more research is needed to examine the larger health care structure within which service providers work, and how this structure not only informs and influences the delivery of services, but also how particular structural barriers impinge on and/or restrict practice.
2007 Chief Executive Elections in Hong Kong: Democratic Warm-Up or the Way towards Populist Authoritarianism
Creators: name: Steinhardt, H. Christioph
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: In order to understand the prospects for further democratic development and the impact of the recent Chief Executive Elections in Hong Kong, this article analyses the Hong Kong election system. The investigation is complemented by recent survey research results on attitudes towards election system, democracy and government, before the most important events of the election process are summarized. The main conclusion is that prospects for full democracy in Hong Kong remain slim. However, certain mid- and long-term effects from the recent election campaign and the current unbalanced institutional configuration make renewed public pressure for democratisation a real possibility.

China's Defence White Papers - A Different Perspective on the "Peaceful Rise"
Creators: name: Hieber, Saskia
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: China’s defence doctrine, which is declared in its white papers on national defence, indicates the PRC’s strategic planning and its progress in capacity building. While China’s foreign-policy initiatives and engagement in international relations are perceived as being increasingly constructive, Beijing’s defence papers offer a different view - one of a considerably assertive China. The government of the People’s Republic demands capability building in order to be able to win wars and is calling on the PLA not only to develop its defensive capacity, but also its readiness to go on the offensive. China will have to explain this strong military language and build-up of forces and equipment to the international community and especially to its neighbours.

title: The Face of the Other (Faith) as a Threat
Creators: name: Paganini, Claudia
Publisher: name: Universität Graz
Year: 2022

description: According to Emmanuel Lévinas, the face of the other is the starting point of ethics.
The following article therefore examines in which form of media representation
Christians meet with the other or, more precisely, with “the faith of the other”. Across
the photo reporting of migration, war, and terror, it will be shown that de-subjectifying
images dominate and that the face of the other is absent. The same applies to
religious websites and social media, where biblical quotations and idyllic landscape
images predominate and people – or people’s faces – who could be a challenge to one’s
own faith hardly appear. This affects the perception of “the own” and “the foreign”,
and it does so in an even more negative way because the competence to interpret
images is not particularly well-developed in most people.

China als neue Kolonialmacht in Afrika? Umstrittene Strategien der Ressourcensicherung
Creators: name: Schüller, Margot

Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: Ende Januar 2007 hat der chinesische Staatspräsident Hu Jintao auf seiner ersten Auslandsreise in diesem Jahr acht afrikanische Staaten besucht: Kamerun, Liberia, Namibia, Mozambique, Sambia, Sudan, Südafrika und die Seychellen. Chinas wachsende Präsenz in Afrika wird im westlichen Ausland vielfach mit Neokolonialismus und der Politik „oil for aid“ gleichgesetzt. Im Mittelpunkt der Kritik stehen dabei Chinas Strategien zur Sicherung des Zugangs zu Energie- und Rohstoffressourcen mit Hilfe weicher Kredite und von Entwicklungsprojekten, die nicht an vergleichbar restriktive Auflagen wie die der westlichen Geberländer gebunden sind. Die Analyse macht deutlich, dass das wirtschaftliche Beziehungsgeflecht im Energie- und Rohstoffsektor zwischen China und den afrikanischen Entwicklungsländern inzwischen sehr komplex ist. Weiterhin spiegelt der Begriff des Neokolonialismus und die dabei unterstellten Abhängigkeitsstrukturen nicht überzeugend die Beziehungen zwischen China und Afrika wider. Für tiefergehende Aussagen über die Rückwirkungen des wirtschaftlichen Engagements Chinas in Afrika sind weitere Analysen zur bilateralen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit notwendig, die von den Autoren derzeit durchgeführt werden.

Risk of Impoverishment - The Social Impact of Involuntary Resettlement in Rural China
Creators: name: Gransow, Bettina
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: Poverty research in general - and research on poverty in China in particular - is dominated by studies dealing with poverty reduction, while the question of its origin (i.e. how it is produced in the first place) is widely factored out. Inspired by Else Oyen’s alternative approach to understanding poverty, this paper aims at analysing involuntary resettlement induced by investment projects in rural China as an example of forces and processes producing poverty. After a short review of the concept and scope of involuntary resettlement caused by investment projects, the paper analyses the social impact of resettlement in rural China with a focus on loss of land and the risk of impoverishment. It is argued that the risk of impoverishment affects men and women in different ways and that gender-blind resettlement policies may create additional risks for female resettlers. The paper concludes that an analysis of poverty-production forces and processes would contribute to better-targeted resettlement policies as well as poverty-reduction policies.

From Rural Poverty to Urban Poverty: A Case Study in Shanxi
Creators: name: Zhang, Mei
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2020

description: In recent years there has been an enormous number of rural-urban migrants in China. In this study their social and economic status in destinations is studied based on a case study in Shanxi province of central China. Whilst rural-urban migration could bring the migrants out of the rural poverty, a key question is whether this will then bring them into urban poverty, from both social and economic viewpoints. A two-ended approach was used, namely, the studied migrants were followed from carefully sampled sending areas, so that their social and economic backgrounds were similar. The results show that rural-urban migrants in Shanxi are now generally in a position of urban poverty, and some key issues of improvements are then briefly discussed, (manuscript received July 26, 2006; accepted for publication January 30, 2007)

LED refrigeration shelf
Creators: name: Tuma, Stephen
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2017

description: Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are becoming increasingly popular inside refrigerators. They are
replacing the conventional incandescent light bulb as the primary lighting source in the refrigerators.
Many companies are making the switch for many reasons but to name a few, the energy savings, the
clean environment added to the refrigerator, and the appealing look added to the appearance of food.
An appliance part manufacturing company called SSW Holding Company, Inc. is currently
designing a refrigerator shelf that has LEDs attached to it. Just like any light, the LEDs need electricity to
be powered. This report includes 3 designs of electrical contacts; the side, the backside, and the pogo
pin. Each contact will interface with a bus bar to supply power to the LEDs. The contacts will allow the
shelf to be inserted and removed from the refrigerator without having to disconnect wires.
To help design the contacts, a gap equation was used to model each of the electrical contacts to
ensure that they will always be in contact with the bus bar, regardless of the dimensional variance in the
components of the shelf. The gap equation indicates what components of the shelf assembly need to be
modified for the electrical contact to fit, and function properly. The mean gap equation should fall
within the upper and lower specified limits. The spec limits were set based upon the clearance needed
for each contact.
A statistical analysis was used to model each electrical contact design to predict the number of
defective shelves due to the electrical contact not interfacing with the bus bar properly. The statistics
will indicate which components of the shelf assembly need to be changed to optimize the contact's
performance capability. Optimizing the performance of a contact minimizes the number of defective
shelves.
Each electrical contact gap equation model did not fall within the spec limits. So, dimensions of
shelf components had to be changed for the mean gap to fit within the spec limits. The components of
the shelf selected for the changes were specifically selected based upon the ease, material savings, and
cost savings the component offered.
With the suggested changes, the gap equations for all 3 designs were optimized to find out
which contact provided the highest performance capability. The statistics show that the backside
contact is most reliable, and the pogo pin is second, and the side contact as last. However, if considering
the functionality of the designs, the pogo pin would be the best suited because it is less likely to be
broken off or damaged upon inserting and removing the shelf from the refrigerator.
