“…In the field of public health sustainable development, scholars are increasingly concerned with how to ensure patients can quickly obtain the desired high-quality health services in the context of the general rise in medical expenditures [24][25][26][27]. Therefore, the hierarchical medical policy of a national or regional medical service system is now a hot topic in academic circles [28][29][30][31][32].…”

Analysis of the Impact of China’s Hierarchical Medical System and Online Appointment Diagnosis System on the Sustainable Development of Public Health: A Case Study of Shanghai

In the study of the sustainable development of public health in China, academic circles have little to do with the unique hierarchical medical system and online appointment diagnosis system in China's medical system. Therefore, based on the medical situation in Shanghai, China, in addition to the traditional dimension of medical expenses, this paper fully considers the impact of the current hierarchical medical policy, constructs a selection model for medical treatment behavior under the hierarchical medical system and online appointment diagnosis system, and carries out simulation analysis through the cellular automata grid dynamic model. This paper finds that the time-cost-oriented medical treatment behavior of Chinese patients will have different distribution under the current hierarchical medical system and online appointment diagnosis system. (1) When the medical treatment system neither allows online appointment nor referral, a large number of patients congregated in high-grade hospitals, with the most unreasonable distribution. (2) With the implementation of the system of allowing referral and online appointment, patients are gradually diverted to lower-grade hospitals or off-peak hours, and the distribution is relatively improved.(3) If the medical treatment system allows both referral and online appointment, the distribution of patients is the most reasonable. Therefore, China's current hierarchical medical system and online appointment diagnosis system will, to a considerable extent, become a policy tool that affects patients' choice of hospitals and an effective means to achieve the rational allocation of existing medical resources, which will play an important role in the sustainable development of public health in China.

“…It is not advisable to pursue economic growth but ignore environmental conservation, which violates the intention of sustainable development [52,53]. Based on the existing research of the academic community [44][45][46][47] and the recent severe air pollution and water pollution in China [54,55], we selected carbon dioxide emission, sulfur dioxide emission, nitrogen oxides emission, and fume and dust emission to characterize the atmospheric environmental sustainability, and selected waste water discharge to reflect the water environmental sustainability of each province. Moreover, the volume of garbage innocuous disposal was also selected to reflect the sustainability [57].…”

Based on the definition and implication of sustainable development, this paper first constructed an evaluation indicator system for the sustainable development level of provinces in China, and performed a scientific evaluation on the sustainable development level based on official statistics from 2012 to 2018 by using the improved Entropy Coefficient-TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) method. The evaluation results showed that the eastern region of China has the highest level of sustainable development, with its two municipalities directly under the central government, Beijing and Shanghai, achieving the full score of 1.0000 in all evaluations, both ranking first among all the provinces. There were significant differences in the level of sustainable development across provinces in the central region, which were comparatively weaker in terms of environmental sustainability and science and technology sustainability, with four provinces’ evaluation scores below 0.5000. The provinces of the western region had comparatively lower levels of sustainable development, with six of the provinces ranking among the bottom ten in the overall sustainability score. In the northeast region, Liaoning had the highest overall sustainable development level, ranking ninth in the country, with an evaluation score of 0.7726; however, there were large differences across the region, with the other two provinces ranking 19th and 21th, respectively, in the overall sustainability score. Based on the research findings, this paper has provided relevant policy recommendations for China to further improve the sustainable development level of various provinces in the future.

“…Empirical orthogonal function (EOF) is a data reduction analysis method for spatio-temporal data [29][30][31], the principle of which is to decompose the original data observed n times by m variables into the product of time function and characteristic function according to the principle of variance maximization, thus reflecting the changes of the original data objectively and quantitatively:…”

Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is the hub of Northeast Asia and its geopolitics is of great significance, whose foreign policy trend is not only related to the peace and stability of the region, but also one of the major variables affecting cooperation in Northeast Asia. According to the data on North Korea’s grain yield collected by the Korea National Statistical Office, supplemented by the data on international food aid to North Korea collected by the World Food Programme, and combined with the judgment of 10 experts from China, South Korea and the United States on the Hawk and Dove Index of North Korea’s foreign policy from 1990 to 2018, we use empirical mode decomposition wavelet transform data analysis and feature extraction methods to study the impact relationship, and OLS regression analysis to study the actual cycle of transformation. We found that: (1) North Korea’s grain output is an important indicator that affects its foreign policy tendency (hawks or doves). The hawk refers to those who take a tough attitude in policy and prefer rigid means such as containment, intimidation and conflicts; the dove refers to those who take mild attitude in policy, and prefer to adopt flexible means such as negotiation, cooperation, and coordination. When it comes to grain yield increase, North Korea’s foreign policy tends to be hawkish; when it comes to grain reduction, its dovish tendency will be on the rise. This is because food increase can alleviate grain shortage in North Korea and enhance its ability to adopt tough policies in its foreign policy. However, decreases in grain production will lead to adopt a more moderate policy and seek international cooperation and assistance to ease the internal pressure caused by grain shortage. (2) North Korea’s grain yield influencing its foreign policy (hawks or doves) has a lag phase of about 3 years. Such being the case, the accumulated grain during the production increase period has enhanced North Korea’s ability to cope with grain reduction in the short term. Secondly, the North Korean government blames the reduction on foreign sanctions, which will instead make the North Korean people more determined to resist external pressure. Therefore, we can use the changes in North Korea’s grain output to predict the direction of its foreign policy so as to more accurately judge the development of the Korean Peninsula and more effectively promote the process of peace and cooperation in Northeast Asia. We concluded that grain production will affect its policy sustainability in North Korea.
