Study on the Adjustment Procedures of Administrative Division in China: From The Perspective of Text Analysis

Driven by new urbanization strategy, the administrative division becomes the hot point of public view. However, due to the absence of the legal procedures, in the process of administrative division adjustment, some local people’s appeals have not been responded, which sometimes led to group incidents against social stability. In order to meet the requirements to comprehensively promote the rule of law, the 3th plenary session of 18th CPC Central Committee proposed strict procedures of administrative division adjustment programs, and the 4th Plenary Session proposed to improve the decision-making mechanism in accordance with the law. After carefully combing laws and regulations promulgated by the central and local governments at all levels or Ministry of Civil Affairs, we found that there are many deficiencies in the legal effect, legislative quality, procedures specification, follow-up mechanism and so on. This paper, from the perspective of text analysis, and based on careful reviews, analysis and assessment of the current procedural provisions, gives suggestion of improving the adjustment procedure of administrative division, and provides reference for the legislation of administrative division in the future in the connection of administrative law theory and administrative procedure system

European Integration and East Asian Regionalism: Comparison between EU and ASEAN

Globalization, as usual, accompanies the development of regionalization after the Cold War. The real content of regionalization is composed of regional integration. In other words, to understand the transformation of international communities, and relationship under globalization must refer to the regional integration. At present, the two most famous areas of integration belong to EU and ASEAN, even though the approach of integration differs from each other. However, the prominent cases of EU and ASEAN integration are always related to the discussion or comparison of other areas, which could borrow or follow their models of seemingly successful integration. Furthermore, the backgrounds of integration in EU and ASEAN are diverse, for instance, on history, politics, economy and cultures and on the other hand, the integration theory applied to EU is often different from ASEAN. Thus although drawing the EU experiences for the ASEAN is necessary, East Asian further integration indicates the different regions produce different logics of integration.

Národní identita a sociální integrace Číňanů žijících v České republice: empirická a komparativní studie

National Identity and Social Integration of Overseas Chinese in the Czech Republic: An Empirical and Comparative Study International immigration already becomes a hot and always a sensitive issue as well in Europe. Actually different parts of Europe present different kinds of immigration cases. The Central and Eastern Europe first played as a transit of immigrants and then soon became a destination of immigrants mainly for those who come from the former communist countries, such as Ukraine, Vietnamese, Chinese and so on. After 1989, the Central and Eastern European countries (CEECs) became democratized and opened their society to outside world. From this moment, this area became a new destination for Chinese and other peoples' immigration. I use the empirical and comparative methodologies to explore my research problematic. As for the empirical approach, I conduct questionnaire surveys and in-depth interviews, and as for the comparative methodology, I compare Chinese and Vietnamese immigrants because of their similar cultural, political and economical backgrounds. In addition, the effect of generation is another vital concern. In other words, due to the longer term of their living in the immigration country since their birth or the time of their coming to the CEECs or the Czech Republic, I make the research...Národní identita a sociální integrace Číňanů žijících v České republice: empirická a komparativní studie Přistěhovalectví se stalo velice horkou a vždy citlivou otázkou také v Evropě. Rozdílné části Evropy představují různé druhy případů imigrace. Střední a východní Evropa nejdříve hrála tranzitní roli, ale později se stala také konečnou destinací pro imigranty především pocházející z bývalých komunistických zemí jako Ukrajinci, Vietnamci, Číňané a další. Země střední a východní Evropy se po roce 1989 staly demokratickými a otevřeli svou společnost vnějšímu světu. Od této chvíle se tato oblast stala novou destinací pro Číňany a další národnosti. Je použita empirická a komparativní metoda k výzkumu zmíněné problematiky. Co se týče empírického přístupu, bylo použito dotazníkové šetření a hloubkové rozhovory. Komparativní metodou byli srovnáváni čínští a vietnamští přistěhovalci z důvodu podobného kulturního, politického a ekonomického prostředí. Kromě toho, dalším důležitým problémem je vliv generace. Jinými slovy, z dlouhodobého hlediska jejich pobývání v hostitelské zemi od jejich narození nebo příchodu do zemí střední a východní Evropy nebo České republiky, byl proveden výzkum hypotézy, zda se tato generace liší od generace jejích rodičů nebo první generace přistěhovalců vzhledem ke kulturní a národní...Department of Political ScienceKatedra politologieFaculty of Social SciencesFakulta sociálních vě

β-Elemene alleviates bone cancer-related pain in rats by modulating N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B subunit

Purpose: To investigate the effect of β-elemene on bone cancer-related pain (BCRP) and its underlying mechanism in a rat model.Methods: A rat model of BCRP was established by injection of Walker 256 cells into the medullary cavity in adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. The effects of β-elemene on pain-related behaviours were assessed by paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) and paw withdrawal thermal latency (PWTL). Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and western blotting were used to analyse the transcription and translation levels of N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B subunit (NR2B), respectively.Results: This study found that PWMT and PWTL were significantly decreased in rats as evidence of successful establishment of a rat model of BCRP. Behavioral test showed that β-elemene treatment could attenuate pain-related behaviours. This analgesic effect began 1 h after drug injection, reached the highest value at 2 h, declined at 4 h, and disappeared by 24 h. qRT-PCR and western blotting indicated that intrathecal administration of β-elemene down-regulated mRNA and protein levels of NR2B.Conclusion: The results show that β-elemene alleviates behaviours related to pain in a rat model of BCRP probably by modulating NR2B, thus indicating a new potential treatment method for cancerrelated pain.Keywords: β-Elemene, Bone cancer, Pain relief, N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B subunit (NR2B), Sensitisatio

Photodynamic Therapy Combined with Terbinafine Against Chromoblastomycosis and the Effect of PDT on Fonsecaea monophora In Vitro

Chromoblastomycosis, a chronic fungal infection of skin and subcutaneous tissue caused by dematiaceous fungi, is associated with low cure and high relapse rates. Among all factors affecting clinical outcome, etiological agents have an important position. In southern China, Fonsecaea pedrosoi and Fonsecaea monophora are main causative agents causing Chromoblastomycosis. We treated one case of chromoblastomycosis by photodynamic therapy (PDT) of 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) irradiation combined with terbinafine 250 mg a day. The lesions were improved after two sessions of ALA-PDT treatment, each including nine times, at an interval of 1 week, combined with terbinafine 250 mg/day oral, and clinical improvement could be observed. In the following study, based on the clinical treatment, the effect of PDT and antifungal drugs on this isolate was detected in vitro. It showed sensitivity to terbinafine, itraconazole or voriconazole, and PDT inhibited the growth. Both the clinic and experiments in vitro confirm the good outcome of ALA-PDT applied in the inhibition of F. monophora. It demonstrated that combination of antifungal drugs with ALA-PDT arises as a promising alternative method for the treatment of these refractory cases of chromoblastomycosis.National Natural Science Foundation (China) (81371747
