Areas of the planet that have the potential to house persons migrating to “safe havens” in their own or other countries will require the rapid construction of communities capable of supporting them, their families, businesses and farms. However, different political-economic conditions are found across the areas which can serve as locations for these Climate Change Haven Communities. We develop funding and construction strategies for the United States (free-market capitalism), France and Spain (European Union supported economies), and Taiwan region (state-directed economy). The proposals for the Taiwan region should also be applicable to the rest of China.展开更多

BRICS is an important force in the global economy, and the progress of the BRICS countries' trade facilitation level has an important impact on the global trade environment. This paper conducts an in-depth study of the dynamic changes in BRICS trade facilitation from 2013 to 2022, and uses an extended gravity model to analyze the specific impact of this change on China's exports using cross-border e-commerce. The results show that although the BRICS countries have made some progress in trade facilitation, the overall level still needs to be improved, and there are obvious differences among member countries. However, the improvement of trade facilitation among BRICS countries has undoubtedly brought significant positive effects to China's exports using cross-border e-commerce.展开更多

Methods: A total of 205 elderly dementia patients and family caregivers were select from 3 tertiary hospital by convenience sampling method in Zhengzhou. The general information questionnaire. The Social Capital Scale for Caregiver of People with Dementia, The Positive Aspect of Care giving scale and The Caregiver Burden Inventory were utilized for investigation. Results: In this study the scores of the Social Capital Scale of Caregivers with dementia were (48.76 ± 6.44), the scores of the Positive Aspect of Care giving scale were (37.41 ± 4.29), and the scores of the Caregiver Burden Inventory were (64.43 ± 10.89). The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that patient’s age, patient’s disease duration, social capital, and positive feelings were the main influencing factors of caregiver’s burden of care (P Conclusion: The burden of family caregivers is at a medium-high level, and it is recommended that the medical, social levels fully mobilize the social support system of caregivers from the caregivers’ conditions, increase the level of the caregivers’ social capital, and pay attention to the positive feelings of the caregivers and regulate them in time social alleviate the burden of their care giving.展开更多
