A 1955�C2004 record of Hg contamination in Dianshan Lake sediments, Shanghai

Measuring Hg levels of water sediments is one of the primary routes to assess the trend of the contamination. Little work has been carried out in the Yangtze Delta to track the trend of mercury contamination caused by Shanghai, which is one of the fastest growing economies in the world today. The mercury concentration in the sedimentary cores from Dianshan Lake, Shanghai is studied here. Results show that mercury transported to Dianshan Lake from emissions of coal combustion and non-coal sources in the Yangtze Delta was greater after 1979. We found also that before 1979 mercury levels changed less with time than after 1979. Before 1967 Hg levels were more variable than in the 1970s. Moreover, the mercury dissolved in river water and bound to particles of water that flow past downtown Shanghai is different from that observed in Dianshan Lake, which is located in upper Shanghai. This indicates that atmospheric Hg deposition is probably the main source of mercury in Dianshan Lake. These results are important for the establishment of environmental protections and pollution treatment proposals for mercury in similar areas of the world, as well as in Shanghai.     

Monitoring urban expansion and land use/land cover changes of Shanghai metropolitan area during the transitional economy (1979�C2009) in China

This study explored the spatio-temporal dynamics and evolution of land use/cover changes and urban expansion in Shanghai metropolitan area, China, during the transitional economy period (1979?C2009) using multi-temporal satellite images and geographic information systems (GIS). A maximum likelihood supervised classification algorithm was employed to extract information from four landsat images, with the post-classification change detection technique and GIS-based spatial analysis methods used to detect land-use and land-cover (LULC) changes. The overall Kappa indices of land use/cover change maps ranged from 0.79 to 0.89. Results indicated that urbanization has accelerated at an unprecedented scale and rate during the study period, leading to a considerable reduction in the area of farmland and green land. Findings further revealed that water bodies and bare land increased, obviously due to large-scale coastal development after 2000. The direction of urban expansion was along a north-south axis from 1979 to 2000, but after 2000 this growth changed to spread from both the existing urban area and along transport routes in all directions. Urban expansion and subsequent LULC changes in Shanghai have largely been driven by policy reform, population growth, and economic development. Rapid urban expansion through clearing of vegetation has led to a wide range of eco-environmental degradation.

科学扩大基层民主努力构建和谐社会

本文认为,民主是一个政党健康发展的根本保证.而对"什么是民主","怎样建设和发展民主"的科学回答则是民主上述功能发挥的基本前提.民主既是对专制和独裁的否定,同时又是对建立在个人自由主义基础上的极端民主化和无政府主义的否定.我们必须在"科学发展观"这一基本理念的统领下进行包括扩大基层民主在内的民主政治建设-在扩大基层民主方面既不能徘徊不前,更不能搞"大跃进";既要整体推进,但又不能搞"一刀切";既要扩大和发展民主,又要讲求和兼顾科学与效率.只有把扩大基层民主置于"科学发展观"这一基本理念之上,才能有助于推进和谐社会建设.
