To contribute to discussions of the collective enterprise of identity making, we turn to online retail spaces and to communicative practices articulated therein. We argue that identity does not emerge spontaneously from atomised market relations, but that collective spaces generate interaction which distributes relations of belonging intermediated by the virtual prism of digital sharing, in this case around the online fashion brand, ASOS.com. Simpson (2005) captures the logic of studying such online spaces as sites of collectivity, suggesting that the 'idea that one may construct an online identity that in turn shapes and forms one's 'real world' identity carries with it the potential to construct cyberspace as a new frontier in the mapping of identity'. The corollary of this logic is that identity is itself sustained by sources of social cohesion beyond immediate market relations. With its street credentials firmly expressed in an edgy brand ethos, we study the ASOS online community and how it cultivates particular forms of relational interplay that organize identity.

During the nineteenth century, large numbers of Catholic medals with Chinese inscriptions were produced to sensitise European children to missionary activities in the far east. Medals with Chinese inscriptions were also designed specifically for the Chinese faithful, a phenomenon that started in the 1840s and intensified during the following century of Catholic missionary presence. This includes medals relating to Mary, Help of Christians, an ancient devotion that had a special salience in the fringes of Christianity, where devotees were threatened in their faith or existence. This article considers the history and medals of Mary, Help of Christians, in China, with a special focus on Sheshan (near Shanghai), where an annual pilgrimage began in 1868 and remained a major religious event until the end of the Republican period in 1949. The production, uses, iconography, and legends of different medals is explored, based mainly on research in the Jesuit archives, with consideration to their entanglement in a wide network of artefacts and representations. They must be cast in the frame of a localised and globalised Catholicism, stressing the processes of diffusion, adoption, and adaptation that accompanied the extension of Catholic practices outside of their original European context.

This editorial argues that the modern and contemporary Shanghai cityscape revolves around the dialectical reconciliation of opposing forces, such as communism and capitalism, east and west, colonial and cosmopolitan, in line with the surrealist movement's 'supreme point' (1929). Empirically speaking, this was fleshed out in 1924 when Shanghai was termed as both a 'magical' and 'demonic' city by the Japanese traveller, Shofu Muramatsu, who identified a sordid underbelly beneath Shanghai's façade of colonial glamour. The editorial brings together twelve articles and one conversation responding to this conceptual stimulus over the course of a century.

The objective of this study was to investigate the frequency, clinical characteristics, and comorbidity of borderline personality disorder (BPD) among psychiatric outpatients in two clinics at Shanghai Mental Health Center. A cross-sectional investigation was conducted. From 3,075 outpatients screened using the Personality Diagnostic Questionnaire-IV+, 2,284 patients positive for a personality disorder were assessed using the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Personality Disorders. The frequency of BPD among the psychiatric outpatients was 5.8%, with afrequency of 3.5% among males and 7.5% among females (p < .01). BPD was found to have extensive comorbidity with Axis I and II disorders. This study proves that BPD does occur in China. The detected frequency among outpatients is lower than that reported in North America.

Urban heritage sites in central cities are most difficult to protect during rapid and large scale urban (re)development. Rising land values from property development conflict with and constrain heritage preservation. Compared with many cities in developed and developing countries, large Chinese cities have experienced a stronger redevelopment imperative, faster population growth, and a weaker concern for urban heritages over the last three decades. We use Shanghai to examine the contested evolution of heritage preservation against massive urban redevelopment through three stages from 1990 to the present. Using three heritage projects (Xintiandi, Tianzifang, Bugaoli), we focus on: 1) how each project was implemented and the economic and spatial outcomes each has produced; 2) how the mode of each project's development interacted with the shifting official policies for heritage preservation; and 3) the implications of the findings, theoretical and practical, for more effective urban preservation.

The aim of this study was to investigate the geographic variation in mortality indicators in Songjiang District of Shanghai under rapid change with urbanization. Geographic Information System (GIS) was used to visualize the distributions of health status and to test the extent of spatial auto-correlation in the indictors. In 2001, total crude mortality was 687/100,000 for the district; the rates for the townships (N=15) in the district ranged from 444/100,000 to 805/100,000. GIS maps indicated that the mortality was higher in the marginal areas of the district. Significant positive auto-correlations were found in total crude mortality rates, death rate for infectious diseases, and death rates for digestive diseases. The measures that consider intra-region inequality in health needs will be required in the regions under urbanization.

This research explores how to understand the concept of 'liveable streets' in the context of Shanghai. It follows the Chinese State Council's call (2015) for ungated communities and dense street networks, meant to improve liveability in cities. Factors of liveability have been extracted from both the international and Chinese literature and refined through locally-administered online questionnaires (n=95) and semi-structured interviews (n=12) with a sample of urban studies professionals. The outcome of this research is an analytical framework consisting of qualities, factors and indicators to assess and distinguish what constitutes a liveable street in Shanghai. A minimal set of 28 indicators is proposed to facilitate the straight-forward application of the framework in fast-growing urban settings. This research reveals the importance of contextualizing liveability factors and their relevance in informing policy-making and the practice of urban design and planning in Chinese cities.

It is a great pleasure to introduce for the public the results of the 2005-06 China International Crime against Business Survey (China ICBS) conducted by the team of ANU professors and researchers in Hong Kong. The general aim of the China ICBS is to enhance our understanding of the extent and nature of crimes against business, and their impact on business and confidence in China. As the first large-scale survey of crimes against business undertaken in Chinese cities, the China ICBS shows that it is possible to obtain useful data about crime risks, prevention practices and reactions of business enterprises through empirical studies such as fieldwork, surveys, questionnaires, and so on. It also makes possible valid comparisons of the prevalence of crimes against business in Chinese cities (Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Shanghai and X'ian) with others cities similarly surveyed in both emerging economies and developed countries. China's economic growth since 1978 is no doubt a miracle both at the domestic and the global level. At the same time, crime (common crimes and economic crimes including crimes against business) is also soaring. It is a fascinating terrain for criminologists to verify classical theories, to explore the reason for this phenomenon and possibly to find new explanations. A privilege once reserved for state power or enterprises in command economies, doing business is becoming fashionable for everybody in China today, and the so-called 'socialist market economy' has been established. But China is still developing its market economy and problems such as distinctions (or discrimination) in status between public and private market actors and conflicts between state monopolies and marketisation still exist in China. The policy of opening and reforming has triggered profound changes in the economic system of China today, while economic changes in turn bring up new situations and changes in the social interest structure, class status, culture, mentality, human behaviour and governmental functions. This social transformation aggravates the phenomenon of institutional shortage. In this context of economic development and social change, business enterprises suffer (as victims) from the differences in status, in policy and in the competitive environment between the public and private sectors, and from bureaucracy and monopolies, but, at the same

Cet ouvrage met en lumière la révolution qu’a produite l’industrie publicitaire sur le développement de la presse et la transformation des villes chinoises, de la fin de l’empire (1905-1911) aux premières années de la République Populaire de Chine (années 1950). En s’appuyant sur des sources encore peu exploitées (archives municipales, croquis, journaux, photographies), l’auteure montre comment la publicité imprimée a profondément changé l’apparence physique des journaux, leurs contenus éditoriaux et leur modèle économique. En utilisant des méthodes numériques innovantes (systèmes d’information géographique, cartographie numérique), elle décrypte également l’impact de la publicité extérieure sur les paysages urbains, les politiques municipales et la vie quotidienne des citadins. L’ouvrage analyse les publicités qui, par leur matérialité ou leur contenu, portent atteinte à l’apparence des rues et à l’intégrité physique et morale des citadins. Enfin, l’auteure examine les problèmes de circulation que posent les publicités dans les rues encombrées de Shanghai ainsi que les métamorphoses de la vie nocturne en Chine pré-communiste sous l’influence de la publicité lumineuse.

In this chapter, we analyze the working conditions of domestic helpers (ayi) and coin the term "working-single" to refer to their affective experiences in laboring in the private urban households, where they are being isolated, and, arguably, alienated. Whether married or not, the ayi usually lives a single life in the city. Focusing on the ways in which ayis build trust with their employers, we present an ethnographic study of ayis in Shanghai, based on nineteen interviews. We begin by outlining the reasons why rural-to-urban migrant women have chosen to work as ayis. Then, we follow Arlie R. Hochschild's theorization of "emotion work" and emotional labor to explore the tactics that Shanghai domestic helpers use to gain their employers' trust. Three main tactics are identified: honesty, professionalism, and care. These tactics enable ayis to attain moments of agency and create a sense of reciprocal intensity that shapes the production of emotional labor as well as the employer-employee relationship. We argue that the ayi-urban employer relationship is dynamic and intense. In this sense, the process of trust-building should be reconsidered as a power game in the context of rural migrant women's job security and work safety.

China's economic rise has engendered fresh inquiries about new possible development models. The Reform and Opening policy, initiated in 1978, has allowed China to explore market strategies that align with its socialist planned economy. This exploration has primarily occurred within designated areas known as Special Economic Zones (SEZs), which serve as experimental grounds for innovative policies. These SEZs are not only seen as urban endeavours but also as the vanguard of a political agenda geared towards modernising and innovating institutions. The concept of SEZs has arisen from the common interests of local, national, and international stakeholders, all aiming for mutually advantageous outcomes. This political endeavour has empowered China to address not only political conflicts with resistant regions and post-Cold War Western powers but also to cultivate a competitive political landscape that consistently enhances its institutions. As a result, the experimental urban developments incorporated by SEZs have evolved into a unique and efficient territorial development model. For nations in the Global South, China's SEZ provides valuable insights into an alternative route towards collaborative and integrated development. This investigation seeks to delineate the fundamental economic and political insights gleaned from China's SEZ initiative.

Fr. Angelo A. Zottoli S.J. (1826–1902) reached the village of Xujiahui 徐家匯, known also as Zi-ka-wei, in September 1848. Immediately after his arrival, the young Zottoli was asked to teach theology there. As a result, starting from 1849, he prepared handy references that were designed probably to be complementary to his lessons. The result of this initial effort is the Dissertationes theologicae ad recentiorum praesertim haereticorum conditionem (Theological Dissertations Facing the Situation of Modern Heretics, 1849–1856), a two-volume manuscript discussing various theological topics. This work shows the linguistic skills of the young Zottoli since it includes annotations in Latin, French, Italian, and Hebrew. From this moment on, Zottoli devoted his adult life to the teaching of Jesuit spirituality and Catholic theology in both Latin and Chinese. As a result, he produced numerous works in these two languages, sometimes combining them. In this sense, an interesting preparatory work written in 1877 was the Ascetica nomenclatio (Ascetic Nomenclature), a list of Latin terms related to Jesuit and Catholic spirituality that Zottoli translated into Chinese also provided his Romanization of the Chinese characters. These two unedited manuscripts shed light on the rich tapestry of unedited works produced by Zottoli and preserved at the Bibliotheca Zi-ka-wei, in Shanghai. This article offers a concise account of these two works and aims at encouraging scholars to study these materials more in-depth.

Working Paper, n°21-19, mars 2021This research examines the complex nature of housing requisition and the extent of residents’ consultation and participation in a housing requisition project in Shanghai. Centered on a single case study, the chapter examines what roles the state and local authorities play in housing requisition, and how this is associated with urban redevelopment regimes under changing governance. Two reasons explained ineffective participation from the residents in housing requisition in Shanghai. First, the participation schemes acted as procedures, which did not meet the expectations of the relocated residents. Second, the level of economic compensation plays a more important role, however, the relationship between people and their home is also important in the housing requisition; the new compensation schemes sometimes neglect the important aspects of an effective participation mechanism. The themes discussed above have important implications for the literature o...

has defined intercultural "contact zones" as "the space of colonial encounters, the space in which peoples geographically and historically separated come into contact with each other and establish ongoing relations." 3 I agree with Pratt's concept that the space is not limited to a zone of domination, but rather should be understood as a zone of exchange. However, I present a story that departs from the second half of her definition, which continues: "usually involving conditions of coercion, radical inequality, and intractable conflict." 4 Pratt's model does not hold true for equitable cultural exchanges in zones of contact, as in the case of Uchiyama Bookstore where friendship, mutual trust, and equal treatment of all was the norm rather than the exception. Very helpful here is Karen Thornber's idea of artistic contact nebulae where "people from societies in unequal power relationships grapple with one another's cultural output in atmospheres of increased reciprocity and diminished hierarchies." 5 Thornber targets artists, but Uchiyama Bookstore's network also included journalists, doctors, civilian military personnel and students. I begin at the micro-level with personal encounters and daily practices of the customers who frequented the bookstore, which acted as a Sino-Japanese cultural salon. Central to my analysis are institutional and personal networks beginning with the bookstore and its customers, but expanding beyond the enclosed space of the bookstore. These include the publishing industry in Shanghai, concentrating on Chinese translations 3

En el terreno personal, debo agradecer el apoyo y estima de mis padres, de mi familia extensa (o, debería decir familias, puesto que ya son cuatro, Brasó, Broggi, Rossich y Rodríguez) y también de mis amigos íntimos. Y, claro está, a Marta Rossich, por todo. viii ix Dafeng fue una fábrica china pionera en la fabricación y apresto de bienes de algodón industriales. La primera industrialización de China, donde cabe ubicar Dafeng, es un hecho histórico que empezó a mediados del siglo XIX y acabó en los años cincuenta del siglo siguiente. Ubicada en Shanghai, Dafeng es representativa de este acontecimiento, muy concentrado en el sector algodonero y en la región del delta del Yangzi. En China, el desarrollo de la industrialización tuvo sus fortalezas y sus debilidades. Sin embargo, los intentos de China de alcanzar a las economías industriales occidentales fueron en vano. Sirviéndose del caso particular de la empresa Dafeng, la presente investigación pretende examinar las continuidades y rupturas que produjo la industrialización en China.

This article explores the consequences of the Austro-Hungarian Empire's end through the tumultuous biography of a philanthropic entrepreneur and quasi-consul community leader known today for assisting thousands of Jewish refugees during World War II. Focusing on Paul Komor (1886-1973) and the migrant community of Shanghai Hungarians, the article contends that postimperial diasporas preserved a piece of empire in their commitment to Jewish emancipation, imperialist nationalism, multiple loyalties, and political nostalgia. It also argues that diasporic networks and charitable actions communicated political and national loyalties while creating and defining the boundaries of the community. Presenting original research involving sources in multiple languages from China, Hungary, the U.S., the U.K., and the Netherlands, the article traces the fortunes of a Jewish Hungarian family in colonial Shanghai, shows the limits of its son's charity-rooted advancement in community leadership, sheds light on the seemingly contradictory political ideas of a postimperial expatriate to explain his complicated relationship with his kinstate, and analyzes the institutionalization of communal charity and the competing prerequisite definitions of postimperial national belonging.

Following a period of relative hiatus in the relation between Iran and China, efforts were made its revival during the first Pahlavi I era. Merchants and governments of the two countries, in an attempt to resume relations, attempted for an economic trade based on the tea. The main question of this research aims to examine the factors that led to the revival of economic relations between Iran and China during the Pahlavi I era with a focus on the tea trade and its continuation and achievements. This research is made using a descriptive-analytical approach and based on the contents of unpublished documents from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Archives, as well as some sources and research. The research findings indicate that the efforts to establish relations between the two countries were influenced by factors such as the rise to power of two military figures in these countries, their need to gain international prestige, and the economic interests of a number of Iranian and Chinese merchants. Efforts to establish bilateral relations, through employing Chinese experts in the Iranian tea industry, attempting to revive the export of Chinese tea to Iran, and persuading the officials of the two countries to work for facilitating trade relations began and continued. However, these efforts, were not very productive due to factors such as the geographical distance between the two countries, Iran's focus on the bill to strengthen the national tea industry, and its lack of interest in a serious relationship with China, and only resulted in the establishment of the Iran Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai.

Ma Xiangbo’s life was associated with both Chinese and European culture, and it is difficult to say which of the two he was closer to. Current research on Ma focuses on his life, his writings and his contributions to the education and localisation of Catholicism. The subject of his cultural conflict with the French Jesuits in Shanghai has rarely been explored. The purpose of this article is to look from this perspective at the interaction between his Chinese cultural roots and his knowledge of European culture. As a unique Chinese intellectual elite, he sought to fuse Chinese traditions with Western knowledge, culture and religion in order to find a way to modernise China. As a result of this approach, he came into conflict with the French Jesuits and left the Society, but this did not affect his patriotism and religious convictions. There is no doubt that Ma Xiangbo played a central role in the modernisation of China and the localisation of Catholicism.

This special issue, a collection of papers presented and debated at an Urban Studies Foundation-funded workshop on Global Gentrification in London in 2012, attempts to problematise contemporary understandings of gentrification, which is all too often confined to the experiences of the so-called Global North, and sometimes too narrowly understood as classic gentrification. Instead of simply confirming the rise of gentrification in places outside of the usual suspects of North America and Western Europe, a more open-minded approach is advocated so as not to over-generalise distinctive urban processes under the label of gentrification, thus understanding gentrification as constitutive of diverse urban processes at work. This requires a careful attention to the complexity of property rights and tenure relations, and calls for a dialogue between gentrification and non-gentrification researchers to understand how gentrification communicates with other theories to capture the full dynamics...

《上海俄文生活报》为1919一1922年间在上海发行的俄文大报，同 时也是一份由社会觉人创建并最终转变为布尔什维克机关报的报纸。 该报在当时的上海俄侨群体中可以说是众人皆知，无论是布尔什维 克 的同情者，还是极右派的保皇觉成员。但学界对于该报的讨论并不多。 笔者一直关注该报的相关研究，并发现了一批关于《生活报»在沪发行 的新史料，在已掌握的报纸、档案资料基础上，将该批史料结合中俄学 者对该报的研究成果，细致梳理《生活报› 沪发行历史，重点探讨在沪 白俄的宣传理念，并对前人研究加以重新审视、检讨，以期弥补既有研究之不足，填补相关研究空白。

In this paper, we identify and discuss some of the ethical problems associated with digital sensors used to detect water contamination and air pollution in the United States. Such safety devices are often deployed unsystematically and with questionable efficacy, thereby structuring the life chances of people in unequal ways. Whereas most technological infrastructures are hidden from view-or at least from active awarenessuntil they cease to function, those infrastructures meant to monitor and/or regulate largely-invisible‖ public health dangers resist public awareness even when they fail. Because such detection systems tend to individualize responsibility for reducing risk, the systems may normalize and perhaps exacerbate root problems of contamination and unequal exposure. One ethical challenge is to render such systems and their failures legible.

In January 2024, the online magazine SHINE, a known city magazine of Shanghai, was scrutinized statistically and contextually in order to obtain data about the significance and representation of performing arts (music, theatre, cinema, street art of all kinds, and arts events that fall into an extraordinary category of the arts prior to a larger annual event [the Chinese New Year 2024, celebrating the dragon]). The data are used to show tendencies and to support different perspectives on the arts in China, of which most play an important indicative role within urban spaces. The shift towards a claiming language, in this case in widely accessible English, has to be proven or to be refused. Although those events and performances serve a specific current strategy, which can be briefly explained, the arts are officially seen as a communication and representing tool. A number of discussion points and an example about this may help clarify.

Habsburg Refugees in China: Postimperial Diaspora, Diplomacy, and Orientalism in the Republican Era (1918-1949) is a study of displacement, humanitarian assistance, and diaspora formation in a twentieth-century Sino-Central European foreign relations context. Building on my core research of those individuals from the Habsburg Empire's successor states who fled to a disintegrated and war-torn China, this dissertation’s intervention is threefold. First, it liberates Sino-Central European relations from its strict nationalist focus with a transnational perspective, then inserts it in the literature on Chinese Republican-era diplomatic history. By complicating the conventional perspective on China's internationalization process, my work allows us to see the agency of the pre-Mao-era regime, widely regarded in the literature, as too weak to represent its interests on the global stage. Secondly, by focusing on Austrian, Czechoslovak, and Hungarian migrant communities, I broaden the scope of non-colonialist foreign communities in semi-colonial China. Specifically, retracing the post-Habsburg roots of the Shanghai Jewish refugee aid contributes to our knowledge of Jewish survival in wartime China. Finally, by reconstructing the history of East-Central European overseas communities of China, I demonstrate new evidence of Habsburg postimperial continuities and, specifically, the various and changing loyalties of former Jewish subjects of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The five chapters deal with the diplomatic, personal, humanitarian, diaspora, and intellectual history aspects of a non-colonial community living in a semi-colonial environment. In chapter one, surveying the three post-Habsburg successor states' different China policies, I conclude that imperial heritage and economic conditions determined the first phase of modern Sino-Central European relations. In a microhistorical approach, chapter two explores the complex identities and multigenerational humanitarian legacy of a Shanghai Jewish businessman who became the leader of his national community and the chief organizer of WWII Jewish refugee relief against the backdrop of antisemitic Hungarian politics. Chapter three excavates the Shanghai Jewish refugee aid's institutional roots and personal continuities. Building on my original research on China's interning of WWI Austro-Hungarian POWs, I draw a hitherto unknown history of East Asian humanitarianism that sheds light on the transnational connections between Chinese, Jewish, and post-Habsburg Central European actors. Chapter four considers the diasporic impulses that China’s interwoven Hungarian, Austrian, and Czechoslovak migrant communities exhibited as they spoke the language of transnational nationalism. Finally, chapter five looks at academic Sinology, missionary movements, art collectors, and cultural diplomacy, concluding that the post-Habsburg region was interconnected and embedded within Western networks in its intellectual engagement with China.

During my research on three continents, I investigated the foreign affairs archives of Taiwan, Hungary, Austria, The Netherlands, Czechia, and the US; the municipal archives of Shanghai, Tianjin, and Harbin; American Jewish aid organizations- and newspaper collections; all of them written in Mandarin, Hungarian, German, Dutch, Italian, English, Czech, and Russian. Drawing upon four bodies of literature and a unique set of multilingual sources, this dissertation argues that the three decades between 1918-1949 was a constitutive period that showed the unprecedented and unique attempts of two postimperial regions to connect.

Le Viêt Nam connaît actuellement une phase d'urbanisation accélérée qui se traduit par la construction de grands ensembles en périphérie des villes. Ces «nouvelles zones urbaines» engendrent des ruptures sociospatiales et socioéconomiques. Des chercheurs étrangers comparent ces nouvelles zones suburbaines à des gated communities et en critiquent les effets de privatisation, marchandisation et sécurisation (concepts mobilisés dans les travaux sur la néolibéralisation). Ce cadre théorique ne semble pas applicable au Viêt Nam, même si la critique des effets négatifs de ce modèle d'urbanisation demeure nécessaire. À partir de l'étude de deux nouvelles zones urbaines en périphérie de Hanoi, ce texte analyse les ruptures sociospatiales et socioéconomiques à trois étapes de leur cycle de vie: la conceptualisation-financement, la construction-réalisation et les modes d'habiter. Sous cet angle, plusieurs pratiques de « retissage » et de négociation apparaissent entre les nouvelles zones et les quartiers voisins. Ceci permet, en conclusion, d'identifier les causes réelles de la fragmentation urbaine engendrée, soit les principes de planification moderniste et la spéculation immobilière.

Introduction 3 redeveloped them for urban functions. The pace of change greatly accelerated in the 2000s, following the designation of this zone as an urban administrative district. Soon new bridges were built and large avenues penetrated ever deeper into the city's western hinterland. The provincial authorities then expropriated all that remained of the farmland that the villagers and their ancestors had cared for and tilled for countless generations. In accordance with the capital's master plan, the rice fields were levelled, the irrigation canals filled, and the site was redeveloped into large avenues flanked by residential towers, big-box stores, and office buildings (Figure 2). Changes can be observed in other spheres of Hòa Mục's life. Compared with about a decade ago, the village's population is larger, denser, and socioeconomically more diverse. Between 1997 and 2009, the population of the ward of Trung Hòa (to which Hòa Mục belongs)

本文为“道”译Logos早期接受史研究的一部分；该研究意在展现“道”译Logos形成的历史处境，以弥补过往探讨对义理的偏重。传统上认为，“道”译Logos 最早出现于新教二代译本。由此出发，本文将考察范围扩展至1836年前的早期伦敦会传教士出版物；经初步梳理后指出，“道”译Logos最晚在1830年代初已见于一般宣教作品，如马礼逊的《古圣奉神天启示道家训》（1832）、及麦都思的《福音调和》（1834）均有运用。故而，本文修正了“道”译Logos的历史起点，且为深入的处境讨论提供了更明确的落脚点及素材。

A physical model based on similarity principles has been constructed for simulating the RH degasser of Companhia Siderú rgica de Tubarã o (CST), Vitó ria, ES, Brazil. The influence of gas injection through nozzles in the upleg with simultaneous bottom injection of gas, as well as the influence of nozzle blockage, on the circulation rate has been investigated. In addition, mathematical relationships for mixing characteristics in the process have been evaluated.

Oral and craniomaxillofacial diseases contain conditions affecting both the soft and hard tissues of face and also dentalarches. Exploiting the bioactive nanomaterials (NMs) in clinical utility has been extensively evolved. The NMs offer incredible progress in the averting and cure of oral and maxillofacial conditions. In the current review, we offer a glimpse into recent development in NMs used to oral and maxillofacial tissue regeneration and disorders therapy, with particular focus on the promoting the quality of oral and maxillofacial healthcare. NMs include polymers, liposomes, particles, micelles, capsules, and scaffolds in nano-size offer worthy oral health. They recognize and cure diseases, restore tissue failing, and enhance the restoration of the physical activity of the tissue by representing the construction of natural tissue. We also delivered an efficient, and the important knowledge gaps for upcoming investigation.

With China's fast urbanization, the study of the walkability of residents' life circles has become critical to improve people's quality of life. Traditional walkability calculations are based on Lawrence Frank's theory. However, the weighted calculation method cannot be adapted to ever-changing and complicated scenarios as the scope and topic of research transforming. This study investigated walkability at the community level by combining machine learning techniques with multi-source data. Feature indicators affecting walkability were estimated from multi-source data. Machine learning was used to refine the weighting calculation under the previous indicator framework. We compared the performance of 20 regression models from 6 different machine learning algorithms for estimating the walkability of 14578 communities in downtown Shanghai. It is concluded that the Bagged Tree Model (R2=0.86, RMSE=0.36862) achieves the best performance, which is used to revise the initial walkability index values. The workflow proposed in this paper allows for rapid application of expert empirical consensus to comprehensive urban design and detailed urban governance in the future.
