Assessing Green Development Efficiency of Municipalities and Provinces in China Integrating Models of Super-Efficiency DEA and Malmquist Index

SUMMARY

In order to realize economic and social green development, to pave a pathway towards China’s green regional development and develop effective scientific policy to assist in building green cities and countries, it is necessary to put forward a relatively accurate, scientific and concise green assessment method. The research uses the CCR (A. Charnes & W. W. Cooper & E. Rhodes) Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) model to obtain the green development frontier surface based on 31 regions’ annual cross-section data from 2008–2012. Furthermore, in order to classify the regions whereby assessment values equal to 1 in the CCR model, we chose the Super-Efficiency DEA model for further sorting. Meanwhile, according to the five-year panel data, the green development efficiency changes of 31 regions can be manifested by the Malmquist index. Finally, the study assesses the reasons for regional differences; while analyzing and discussing the results may allude to a superior green development pathway for China.

Pinar del Río Assessment of life-style in patients suffering from ischemic heart disease in five doctor’s offices. September 2002-20La cardiopatía Isquémica, "El Azote de la vida Moderna, es hoy la primera causa de muerte en los países desarrollados, es la responsable de más del 80% de las muertes. Se realizó un estudio Longitudinal, prospectado, analítico y comparativo en cinco consultorios médicos del Consejo Popular "Celso Maragoto" del Municipio de Pinar del Río con el objetivo de evaluar estilo de vida relacionados con las factores de riesgos de la cardiopatía isquémica, de un universo, la muestra esta constituida por 148 pacientes comprendido del 1ero de Septiembre del año 2002 al 30 de Septiembre del 2004. Se aplica una encuesta donde las principales variables son datos generales, aspectos del estilo de vida, factores de riesgos coronarios, se realizaron diferentes actividades de evaluación para la salud, finalmente se aplicó instrumento evacuativo, donde se demostró la presencia del estilo de vida insano en estos pacientes antes posteriormente en el consumo de frutos, vegetales, verduras, aceite vegetal, así como grasa, vescera, piel de pollo y cerdo, el número de exfumadores fue significativo, así como el número de cigarro y tabaco promedio al día, decreció el total de alcohólicos. Se aplicó el método estadístico la prueba de Mc Nemar con factor de conexión y cálculo por ciento. Palabras claves: CARDIOPATIA, ESTILO, ISQUEMIA. ABSTRACT Ischemic Heart Disease - "Valamity of modern life" - is nowadays the first cause of death in developed countries (80 % of deaths). A longitudinal, prospective, analytic and comparative research was conducted during September 1st, 2002 to September 30, 2004 in five doctor's offices at Celso Maragoto popular council in Pinar del Río municipality aimed at assessing life styles related to risk factors of the Ischemic Heart Disease. In the sample 148 patients were taken. A survey was applied where the main variables analyzed were: general data, characteristics of life styles, coronary risk factors and different activities related to health evaluation, finally an evaluative tool was used in order to demonstrate the presence of an unhealthy life style in these patients before and after the consumption of fruits, vegetables, green, vegetable oils, fat, animal entrails, chicken and pork skins.
