Svrha ovog istraživanja je analizirati konvergenciju i kompleksnost regionalnih cijena kuća i u Kini. U tu svrhu koristi se model nelinearnih vremenski promjenjivih faktora. Dobiveni rezultati potvrđuju postojanje određenog stupnja segmentacije kineskog tržišta nekretnina. Daljnjom dinamičkom analizom konvergencije utvrđeno je da kineska središnja vlast svojom važnom stambenom politikom može značajno utjecati na promjenu tržišta nekretnina, ali s vremenskim odmakom od 4 do 5 mjeseci, i da su sasvim različita ponašanja između stambenog tržišta novogradnja i tržišta starijih stambenih objekata u Kini što dokazuje složenost tržišta nekretnina u Kini. Višestruki čimbenici zajedno su pokretači konvergencije cijena regionalnih stambenih objekata, a pokretačka snaga razlikuje se u tri kluba. Temeljni zaključak iz provedenih istraživanja je da konvencionalne definicije ekonomskih regija nisu prikladne za analizu segregacije cijena stambenih objekata u Kini. U Kini postoji heterogena konvergencija regionalnih cijena kuća, što ukazuje na kompleksnost regionalnih cijena nekretnina. Stambena politika treba se provoditi različito u različitim regijama. Način na koji središnja vlada treba provoditi stambenu politiku je da bude usmjerena na različita pod-tržišta stambenih novogradnja i tržišta korištenih stambenih objekata. ; The purpose of this research is to analyze the convergence of regional house prices and its complexity in China. In this purpose it used nonlinear time varying factor model. The obtained results have provided evidences for the existence of some degree of segmentation in China's housing market. By further dynamic analysis of the convergence, we have found that important housing policies from Chinese central government can significantly alter the housing market but with a time lag of 4 to 5 months, and that quite different behaviors exist between the new house market and the second-hand house market in China, which provides the evidence for the complexity of housing market in China. Multiple factors together are the driving forces for the regional house price convergence. And the driving forces differ among three clubs. The basic conclusion provided from the realized research is that the conventional definitions of economic regions may not be appropriate to analyze house price segregation in China. Heterogeneous convergence exists in China's regional house prices, indicating the complexity of regional house prices in China. And housing policies should be implemented with different focus among the regions. The way of the central government is to make housing policies aiming at different sub-markets of the new house market and the second-hand house market.
Natural compounds have been used to regulate numerous metabolic dysfunctions such as obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia. Xylan oligosaccharides (XOS) alleviate obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidaemia via the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolisms, and the modification of gut microbiota. Moreover, XOS is also shown to inhibit obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic disorders such as inflammation and oxidative stress, by regulating the related genes and enzymes that contribute to the respective disorders. The information currently available does not offer in-depth elucidation regarding the molecular mechanisms of action of XOS in controlling obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic disorders, thus remain to be elucidated. The present review discusses XOS and its mechanisms of action, and key roles in regulating obesity, diabetes, and related metabolic disorders, highlighting the potential use of this compound in the improvement of novel therapeutic approaches for the treatment of the aforementioned diseases.
