They claimed that Yaya was suffering from skin disease and malnutrition. Later the Chinese Association of Zoological Parks organized experts to conduct multiple health evaluations on Yaya and said that Yaya was in sound health.However, netizens' concern reappeared with Lele's sudden death on Feb 1. They said that Yaya should be sent back to China as soon as possible. The pilot program(试点计划) has been hailed(赞扬) as a "resounding success巨大的成功)" after employees reported improved well-being and a majority of the participating companies said they would keep the change.Employees at companies that adopted a four-day work week without pay cuts said they were happier and healthier, while revenues did not fall.At the conclusion of the six-month trial, 56 of those companies, or 92%, decided to stick with a four-day work week, and 18 did so permanently.The companies that participated were from a wide range of sectors and sizes and were permitted to design a four-day week policy tailored to their own needs(根据自己的需要量身定制), with the only conditions being that pay was not cut and employees were given a "meaningful" reduction(实际减少) in work time.A shorter work week was found to improve employees' well-being.

When compared to a similar period from previous years, organizations with a shorter work week actually reported revenue increases of 35% on average which the study authors said indicated healthy growth at the same time there was a reduction in work.Data also showed employees were much less likely to leave the companies that participated in the trial program,with staff losses dropping by 57% in the six-month trial period.Some employees enjoyed the change so much that they said keeping the extra day off each week would be more important than a raise. Fifteen percent of employees said that no amount of money would induce(诱使) them to return to a five-day schedule.Charlotte Lockhart, co-founder and managing director of 4 Day Week Global, said the results were encouraging and that results from similar pilot programs around the globe would be forthcoming.2023.02.28 Beijing is applying for the city's Central Axis(城市中轴线) to become a World Heritage Site, with the application text officially submitted to the UNESCO World Heritage Center in January.The 21 member countries of the World Heritage Committee will decide on whether Beijing's Central Axis can be added to the World Heritage List at the committee's 46th annual conference in 2024.If the application succeeds, it will reinforce Beijing's top position among cities worldwide by number of World Heritage Sites."We filed the application for better protection and development of our historical city," Yu Ping, former deputy head of the Beijing Cultural Heritage Bureau, told China News Weekly. "That is in tune with UNESCO's pursuit of heritage preservation."The UNESCO World Heritage Site application will improve management and utilization(利用) of the Central Axis heritage across the board, tackling the factors that damage or jeopardize(危害) its "outstanding universal value" and advancing its sustainable protection and development, China News Weekly quoted Qin Hongling, head of the Humanity School at the Beijing University of Civil Engineering and Architecture, as saying.The Central Axis stretches 7.8 kilometers from the Bell Tower and Drum Tower in the north of the old city to the Yongding Gate in the south, linking a string of Beijing's signature sites, including ancient China's imperial palaces and parks and ancient sacrificial ceremony buildings.Dating back to the Yuan Dynasty (1271-1368), the Central Axis, cutting through the core area of the old city of Beijing, has remained the fundamental basis of the national capital's urban planning and development, which has far-reaching(深远的) influence on the city's architecture and spatial pattern(空间格局).More than two-thirds of the historical Central Axis are surrounded with historical and cultural blocks, involving 33 such streets totaling 19.3 square kilometers.Beijing's unique beauty of design and spatial order arises from the creation of its Central Axis, said the late architect Liang Sicheng.Taken as the backbone(脊骨) of the city, the axis follows the principles for building ancient capital cities, which were recorded in Zhouli Kaogongji (Rites of Zhou: Records of Construction), one of China's oldest technological books.The Central Axis is "the physical carrier of the ancient Chinese ritual system(礼制), emphasizing well-organized social orders and standing as a creative practice and typical example of traditional Chinese social governance applied to urban planning", according to the UNESCO official website.学科网(北京)股份有限公司
