The imbalance of medical and health services supply (MHSS) is a significant public health concern as regional economic development disparities widen in China. Based on the provincial panel data of medical and health services, this paper constructed an evaluation index system and used the two-stage nested entropy method to measure the MHSS level of 31 provinces in China from 2005 to 2020. Then we used the standard deviation ellipse, Dagum Gini coefficient, β convergence model, kernel density estimation and Markov chain to investigate the spatial distribution, regional differences, and dynamic evolution of MHSS. According to the results of these analysis, the conclusions are drawn as follows: (1) In general, the MHSS level in China showed a significant up-ward trend from 2005 to 2020. However, the MHSS level among different provinces showed a non-equilibrium characteristic. (2) Regional comparison shows that the eastern region had the highest level, and the central region had the lowest level. The eastern and central regions presented polarization, while the western region showed unremarkable gradient effect. (3) During the period, the overall regional differences, intra-regional differences, and inter-regional differences of MHSS level all showed convergence. (4) The economic development, urbanization rate, fiscal self-sufficiency rate, and foreign direct investment had significant impacts on the convergence. (5) The provinces with high levels had the positive spillover effect. The findings of this paper provide theoretical supports for optimizing the allocation of health resources and improving the equity of MHSS.
The service industry has become the driving force of Chinese economic development. Promoting the green and high-quality development of the service industry is of great significance to the realization of the “dual carbon” goal. The current studies use the DEA-Malmquist index method to measure the green total factor productivity of the service industry in 31 provinces and cities in China from 2009 to 2019. The spatial correlation characteristics and contributing factors to the green development of the service industry are analyzed through the social network analysis method. Our results show that the added value of the service industry accounts for a high proportion of GDP. However, the service industries are not green enough due to their large low added value and high energy consumption sections. The green development of the service industry shows complex spatial correlation characteristics, and the service industry in the eastern province is the core of the spatial network. The bridge mediating effect of green development of the service industry in the southern region is significant. The green development of the service sector has a significant spatial spillover effect, and no region can be good alone in green development. Provinces should cooperate to promote green development in the service industry.
The level of medical services is the link between the two strategic goals of “healthy China” and “common prosperity,” and government participation plays an important adjustment role in it, so it is of great theoretical and practical significance to study its inner logic. In this paper, we firstly analyze the mechanism of medical service level to promote the development of common prosperity and the role of government in it; secondly, we construct a panel dynamic regression model and a threshold regression model to verify the relationship between the three. It is found that the contribution of both equity and efficiency of health care services to the achievement of common wealth is non-linear, and the degree of government participation plays an important adjustment role, with single and double threshold effects between them and the level of common prosperity, respectively. In the process of participating in the medical service market, the government should clearly position itself, actively play the demand-led role of the market, encourage private capital to provide quality medical services, and purposefully optimize the financial expenditure structure according to the local actual situation. There are many ways in which the government can be involved in health care, and there will be differences between China and other countries around the world. These are all worthy of further discussion.
Toilet sanitation is related to public health and environmental protection. In the context of the toilet revolution in rural China, an ordered probit regression analysis was conducted to evaluate the impact of access to sanitary toilets on rural residents' health. Using data from the China Family Panel Study (CFPS) in 2014, we found that access to sanitary toilets in rural households significantly improved residents' health, and this finding remained robust across a series of checks. Meanwhile, results of the mechanism analysis showed that preventing feces from contaminating water sources was an important mechanism behind the positive effects of sanitary toilet use on health. We also found that the impact of access to sanitary toilets was more pronounced among female, middle-aged, and low-income people. Toilet revolution plays an important role in ensuring residents' health and protecting water sources, thereby underscoring the need for governments in developing countries to invest in sanitary toilets. In addition, the existing policies and sanitation programs in China need to be improved to promote public health.
In this paper, through the use of SolidWorks three-dimensional software for the lathe three-dimensional modeling, the lathe three-dimensional model can more intuitively express the structure of the lathe. Through the analysis of the reducer shaft, this paper developed the machining process, and then the solid modeling of the shaft, and finally through the Unity3D software for the reducer shaft machining simulation analysis.
