The complete mitogenome sequence of Ochotona coreana was determined using long PCR. The genome was 17,283 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 origin of L strand replication, and 1 control region. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is A (31.5%), C (28.7%), T (26.2%), and G (13.6%). The base compositions present clearly the A–T skew, which is most obviously in the control region and protein-coding genes. Mitochondrial genome analyses based on MP, ML, NJ and Bayesian analyses yielded identical phylogenetic trees. This study verifies the evolutionary status of O. coreana in Ochotonidae at the molecular level. The mitochondrial genome would be a significant supplement for the O. coreana genetic background. The seven Ochotona species formed a monophyletic group with the high bootstrap value (100%) in all examinations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The complete mitogenome sequence of Blarinella griselda was determined using long PCR. The genome was 16,947 bp in length and contained 13 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 1 origin of L strand replication and 1 control region. The overall base composition of the heavy strand is A (33.1%), C (22.6%), T (31.6%) and G (12.7%). The base compositions present clearly the A–T skew, which is most obviously in the control region and protein-coding genes. Mitochondrial genome analyses based on MP, ML, NJ and Bayesian analyses yielded identical phylogenetic trees. This study verifies the evolutionary status of Blarinella griselda in Soricidae at the molecular level. The mitochondrial genome would be a significant supplement for the Blarinella griselda genetic background. The three Blarinella species formed a monophyletic group with the high bootstrap value (100%) in all examinations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

When Keynesianism received renewed interest in the global financial crisis, some economists regarded China’s response as exemplary of effective Keynesian counter-cyclical strategy or even a non-crisis development strategy. At the same time, there have been critical voices against China’s Keynesian measures. This article therefore asks: To what extent was China’s response to the global financial crisis Keynesian? What factors determined the Chinese characteristics of Keynesian policy both in design and in implementation? It points out that China did follow a Keynesian formula in its crisis response, boosted infrastructure construction, GDP growth and created some employment. However, Chinese Keynesianism is a vulgarised version that is merged with its developmental state model. It simply boasted a big state and massive deficit spending, and socialised investment without really benefiting consumers or the private sector. This article also provides an analysis of how ideational and institutional politics in China vulgarised Keynesianism and exacerbated socio-economic problems. Ideational politics included the dominance of Keynesian discourse at the beginning of the crisis and an obsession with short-term results. Institutional factors included ‘firework’ local government politics, the state being captured by state-owned enterprises and a concentration of central distributive power without proper monitoring over implementation.
