Is there a commercially viable market for crop insurance in rural Bangladesh?

The study aims to assess the commercial viability of a potential crop insurance market in Bangladesh. In a large scale household survey, agricultural farm households were asked for their preferences for a hypothetical crop insurance scheme using double bounded (DB) contingent valuation (CV) method. Both revenue and production cost based indemnity payment approaches were applied to assess the commercial viability of a crop insurance program assuming a partner-agent (PA) model of insurance supply. Crop insurance is found marginally commercially viable in riverine flood plain areas. The expected indemnity payable consistently exceeds the expected insurance premium receivable by the insurer for the households living in wetland basin and coastal floodplain. We conclude that a uniform structure of crop insurance market does not exist in Bangladesh. The nature of the disaster risks faced by the farm households and the socio-economic characteristics of the rural farm communities need to be taken into careful consideration while designing such an insurance scheme.

Nonylphenol photodegradation by novel ternary MIL-100（Fe）/ZnFe2O4/PCN composite under visible light irradiation via double charge transfer process

Nonylphenol（NP） residues, as a typical endocrine disrupting chemical（EDC）, frequently exist in sewage, surface water, groundwater and even drinking water, which poses a serious threat to human health due to its bioaccumulation. In order to remove NP, a series of MIL-100（Fe）/Zn Fe₂O₄/flake-like porous carbon nitride（MIL/ZC） was synthesized through in-situ synthesis at room temperature. High performance of ternary MIL/ZC is used to degrade NP under visible light irradiation. ...     

“双十一”与日常网络购物关注度耦合协调的空间格局及驱动研究

挖掘"双十一"与日常网络购物之间的耦合关注特征对制定营销策略和调配运输资源具有重大意义。基于百度指数获取网络用户对"双十一"与日常网络购物的关注度,计算它们之间的耦合协调度并分析其空间格局与驱动机制。结果表明:①关注度两极分化显著,大部分城市的耦合协调等级较低。②耦合协调度空间正相关显著,呈现出东—中—西空间分异格局。③住户存款余额影响作用最大,消费能力决定消费倾向。④华北和东北地区属于消费主导区,西北和西南地区属于次消费主导区,华南地区属于生产主导区。
