Knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to infection prevention and control among university dental students in China
Introduction Dental students may face multiple sources of infection during their clinical practice in the dental environment. In this context, assessing the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) regarding infection prevention and control among dental students is essential. The aim of this study was to conduct a quantitative, questionnaire-based, single-center investigation to assess knowledge, practices, and attitudes of infection prevention a…
Mechanisms Linking Urban Plant Landscape Spatial Characteristics to Stress Regulation and Attention Recovery
As an important component of landscape design, the impact of planted landscape space on human health has received considerable attention in modern urban landscape gardening research. However, most existing studies focus on the overall benefits of urban green space and lack quantitative analyses of planted landscape spatial features (e.g., spatial scale, slope, and plant community structure level) about psychological recovery and physiological reg…
Orientalized Imagery in Posthuman Science-Fiction Cities
as the fictional marco polo in Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities explains, “cities, like dreams, are made of desires and fears” (44). Urban spaces, both real and imaginary, are projections of cultural fantasies and anxieties. Henri Lefebvre points out that “space is political and ideological. It is a product literally filled with ideologies” (171). Steve Pile contends that “underlying the production of cities are the hidden workings of desire and …
The Return of the Illegitimate Offspring
The 2017 live-action remake of Mamoru Oshii’s 1995 anime Ghost in the Shell offers an interesting case study in the shifting conceptualization of posthuman identity through its re-characterization of the cyborg figure Major Kusanagi. The film’s purposeful revisioning of the Japanese anime is not only the superimposing of Hollywood sensibilities onto other cultures, but also serves to negotiate the human-machine interaction in the context of posth…
Seasonal Adjustment of Time Series Observed at Mixed Frequencies Using Singular Value Decomposition with Wavelet Thresholding
In this article, we propose a novel seasonal adjustment method that accommodates time series observed at mixed frequencies and possessing possibly multiple abrupt changes in seasonality. We assume that the observed series is a known linear transformation of an underlying high frequency series whose seasonal component can be represented as a matrix with a low rank Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) structure, and the nonseasonal component is diffe…
Locomotor and endocrine alterations link to metabolic dysfunction induced by pathopharmacological interaction between neurodevelopmental disorders and antipsychotics
These results highlight that NDD-related locomotor and endocrine changes should be considered as potential biological factors when finding effective strategies for preventing metabolic events during SGAs medication. These results underscore the clinical importance of metabolic monitoring in pediatric psychopharmacology, even prior to pharmacologic exposure
Integrating materials innovation and policy challenges for leather alternatives
Affective labour at work
Rapid successions of technological inventions have threatened to upend existing structures of work, prompting a need to rethink labour geography in the twenty-first century. In particular, the pressures that automation brings to workers raise some interesting questions about how feelings toward work are evolving, and how active appropriation and dispensation of personal affects may be needed for workers, especially blue-collar workers long caught…
Situating automated infrastructure
In this themed issue, we examine the life and implication of the proliferation of ‘automated infrastructure’ in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, we focus on the ways in which automation of various kinds – in labour processes, commerce and office spaces, border control, and even caregiving – have warped, (re)regulated and securitized the time-spaces in which people live, through infrastructure. While not treating the pandemic…
Global trends in fall-induced hip fractures among perimenopausal women 1990 to 2021
Background Fall-induced hip fractures in perimenopausal women (FHFPW) are major clinical and public health concern, contributing significantly to global morbidity. This study examines the global impact of FHFPW, focusing on the prevalence, incidence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) across different age groups, regions, and levels of Socio-demographic index (SDI) from 1990 to 2021. The aim is to provide epidemiological data that can inform …
The potential of integration
Analyzes the integration of blue-green spaces and presents an objective-subjective evaluation framework. • Proposes quantifiable indicators for evaluating the integration of blue-green spaces. • Summarizes the theoretical foundation and future directions of how the integration of blue-green spaces promotes health. With the rapid pace of urbanization, public expectations for the ecological environment have shifted from basic material improvements …
Conceptualization, operationalization, and performance of longitudinal studies in communication research
We report a systematic review of longitudinal studies published in SSCI-Communication journals over the 50 years, focusing on how time is conceived, measured, and analyzed as a scientific concept. To facilitate the review, we devised two novel classification schemes to distinguish between longitudinal and non-longitudinal studies and to measure how time is treated. We manually coded a random sample of 1,080 research articles, supplemented with co…
Exploring cultivated land trade-off/synergy of production and ecological supply–demand mismatch for coordinated development
The balance between the production and ecological supply–demand of cultivated land is crucial for regional food and ecological security. However, most studies focus on either the production or ecological aspect, neglecting the trade-offs/synergies of multifunctional cultivated land supply–demand. This study utilized the Pearl River Delta (PRD) mega urban agglomeration in China as a case study. It employed the Enhanced Two-step Floating Catchment …
Reconsidering Acoustical Design for Traditional Chinese Courtyard Theater in Taiwan
Traditional Chinese courtyard theaters in Taiwan possess a unique architectural and performative identity, distinct from Western-style proscenium theaters that dominate contemporary performance venues. These Western configurations often impose spatial and acoustic constraints that hinder the authentic expression of traditional Chinese opera. In contrast, courtyard-style theaters—characterized by open-air layouts and architectural enclosures—offer…

Discourse Shifts Surrounding Fengshui
In contemporary China, despite a widespread belief in Fengshui, its ambiguous legal nature has led to an increasing number of Fengshui disputes with limited resolution. Previous studies have overlooked disputes where parties are of an unequal status as well as the logic of discourse during the dispute resolution process. In this article, the "triple-market" concept was used to define the gray legal nature of Fengshui in China, and the extended-ca…
Changed pattern of physical activity and energy expenditure among mid-pregnancy women during China's Covid-19 lockdown
This study examines the physical activity (PA) patterns and energy expenditure of Chinese pregnant women during the COVID-19 lockdown, their influencing factors, and explores potential improvement strategies. A survey using the Chinese version of the Pregnancy Physical Activity Questionnaire (PPAQ) was conducted among 610 women in their second trimester. It compared their PA patterns and energy expenditure during the lockdown with pre-pandemic le…

Dietary patterns and the effect of long-term PM 2.5 exposure on metabolic syndrome among Chinese adults
Limited evidence exists regarding the causal effects of air pollution and metabolic syndrome (MetS), as well as the potential moderating effect of adherence to healthy dietary patterns. We recruited participants with accessible clinical characteristics, dietary patterns, and blood biomarkers data from the 2009 China Health and Nutrition Survey. Multi-biomarkers combined with physical examinations were used to determine the status of MetS. The fin…

Photographic ways of seeing
This visual essay investigates two photographic techniques to challenge pre-existing notions of the human body that are derived from people’s locally consistent set of beliefs about bodily proportions, shapes and functions. These techniques centre around the mirror as the medium to investigate peculiar visual representations that take aim at normative concepts of what constitutes the human. The essay includes selective images of defamiliarized bo…
Migration infrastructures and the production of migrant mobilities
Since the proclamation of a mobility turn in the 2000s, scholars have populated the field with invaluable insights on what it means to move, and what the politics of movement are. One particularly useful thread revolves around the issue of infrastructures, which have generally been taken to mean the manifest forms of moorings and fixities that help order and give shape to mobilities. Yet, while significant inroads have been made in delineating th…
Chinese Migration to Singapore
Changing economic realities in the last decade have seen the People's Republic of China (PRC) emerging as a major source of ‘new’ migrants in the world. In the context of Southeast Asia as ‘destination,’ inflows from the PRC take on another level of significance given the historical antecedents. In this article, we take Singapore, a Southeast Asian global city-state, as a case study of how Chinese migration histories and circumstances have evolve…
Cabin pressure
This article considers the affective design and atmospheric manipulation of spaces of transportation before they are made available for use or consumption. Recent scholarship emphasises the experiential aspect of these onboard spaces, and how affective atmospheres are spontaneously conjured and felt amidst mobility. This article aims to develop a keener understanding of the role of transport providers in (co)founding such ambiences, and makes a c…
Introduction
We introduce this symposium on the politics and spaces of China’s Belt and Road Initiative, locating the papers as concept explorations resting on case studies that contextualize and historicize Belt and Road Initiative. In the case of the first paper that follows, this includes an exploration of the historiography of one of Belt and Road Initiative’s conditions of possibility, the Silk Road idea. We chart a burgeoning field of debate about Belt …
Pathological (Im)mobilities
This paper interrogates the paradox of pathological treatments of certain transnational flows in a time of pandemics. Reflecting on COVID-19 developments in Singapore between January and October 2020, the paper traces the city-state’s struggles against risks posed by different (im)mobile bodies within and surrounding its territory. While initially vowing not to ‘isolate’ itself, Singapore was seen to move incrementally toward tightening domestic …
Who’s Anti-Roman? Sallust and Pompeius Trogus on Mithridates
The dynamics of the neuronic model described by the one-dimensional delay functional differential equation are studied in this paper. We give a strict and detailed analysis of dynamical characteristic of this model by the Lyapunov functional approach and Hopf bifurcation proposition. Furthermore, numerical simulations, as well as Lyapunov exponents, are presented to support our conjectures about the appearance of complex dynamics such as chaos. W…
Automated infrastructure
In recent years, geographers have evinced how infrastructure constitutes the bedrock of supply chain capitalism and its oppressions. This article interrogates how advanced automation - comprising robotics, artificial intelligence and software - is poised to politicize this infrastructural space further on the heels of the COVID-19 pandemic. Reflecting on COVID-19 developments, the article shows how logistics is turning to advanced automation to d…

Delinquency Among Chinese Adolescents
This study explores the relationship between strain and delinquency participation among Chinese adolescents. Using survey reports of over 1,700 middle-school students in Fuzhou, China, the study yielded results consistent with expectations. First, a significant relationship is observed between reports of overall strain and delinquency after controlling for common correlates. Further, adolescents in Fuzhou, China are more likely to engage in delin…
Atmospheric conditioning
This paper contributes to debates on human-technologies relations and labour geographies. It thinks through how the adoption of automation is mediated by the conditioning effects of atmospheres in space. Taking the occassion of the COVID-19 pandemic, the paper presents a case of how atmospheres are capable of determining the trajectories of automation, and providing the guiding backdrop for technological (un)development. Drawing on 40 semi-struct…
Dispositions towards automation
With the rapid rise of supercomputers, artificial intelligence, and advanced forms of robotics, recent years have seen a resurgence in interest in automation in the academy. In geography, scholars have yielded some important insights on the mottled relations between humans and machines as capital moves towards a more high-tech form of production. In this paper, we seek to extend these debates by delving into how labour's relations with automation…
Transnational work and workplace as infrastructure
Transnational education is growing apace in recent years, with international branch campuses (IBCs) becoming an increasingly prominent feature in Asia’s higher education landscape. This paper examines a Sino-British IBC in China as an inroad for illuminating the mobilities such set-ups entrain as a migration infrastructure tied to transnational work and workplace. Using Bourdieu’s concepts of field, capital and habitus, we interrogate the process…
Transport geography and geopolitics
Sky watching
Scholars have written extensively about vertical surveillance as an extension of aeriality. They have interrogated the aerial platform as a synoptic means to behold, control and wage war from above, and as a locus through which air power can be challenged from below. While this perspective highlights the complex reciprocities linking the sky and the earth, its focus remains fixated on aeriality's (in)capacities to render terrestrial life explicit…
Re-Assembling (Aero)mobilities
This paper advocates a need to expand mobilities research beyond the West. Employing aviation in Singapore as an example, it demonstrates how the assembling of (aero)mobilities in different contexts never yields passive replicas, but, rather, iterations that develop with reference to one another. This mutual assembling is furthermore a political process, with certain ‘global’ paradigms being more influential than others. Without transcending a We…
Transport provision and the practice of mobilities production
This paper propounds a practised understanding of transport provision. While transport geography tends to focus on the effects of planning, mobilities studies view transport provision as framing backdrops of mobile lives. Neither has fully addressed how transport provision is a derivative of mundane practices that contingently lay transport’s structural foundations. This paper argues that delineating these practices imputes a much-needed ‘livingn…

Summit atmospheres
This paper examines the role of affective atmospheres in “doing” politics in diplomacy. By offering a thick exegesis of the ways in which these moods practically unfold at two International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation summits, the paper shows how affective atmospheres have a potent steering effect on (geo)politics, constituting the virtual infrastructures of its conduct. While geographers have recently begun paying attention to th…
Aerial Silk Roads
The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is widely touted as China's answer to development through international connectivity. The scheme has often been linked to China's objectives of crafting a new world order centred on itself and/or stabilizing its economy through externalizing surplus capacity. While important in broadly framing China's relationship with the world, this article posits that such a fixation on state-centric visions of development le…
Questioning the 'field in motion
Now boarding
In this article, we build on Adey, Budd and Hubbard’s 2007 ‘Flying Lessons’ paper by proposing four trajectories – bodies, infrastructures, technologies and disruptions – along which future research may follow for aeromobility studies. Since ‘Flying Lessons’, concerns for aviation have spread and developed into new areas beyond the experience of the individual air-passenger, but they have also remained somewhat disparate. Our article seeks to syn…
Catering for flight
This article employs in-flight catering as an inroad for rethinking aeromobility-and other mobilities-as both a vehicle and a product of logistics. It posits that the production of airline food, or in-flight catering, is representative of how aeromobility as a whole is realised through particular technocratic processes of fragmentation and coordination. Drawing on existing literatures, international news reports, company publications and particip…
Drawing lines in the sky
This paper takes as its starting point the idea that airspace is not a singular, finished interface for aeromobile activities to take place in. Striated by lines that connect some points rather than others, it is a contested network of vectors that sometimes require additional human inputs for traffic to flow in desired ways. Assuming the view of a globalising city-state in Asia, this paper refers to two sets of empirical evidence to build its ca…

Wasting Time? The Differentiation of Travel Time in Urban Transport
Recent years have seen increasing academic interest in transport and the concept of travel time. In particular, scholars have tried to open up travel time to alternative modes of understanding, taking it beyond its usual productivist associations with waste and useless idleness. The author, however, seeks to understand travel time in a different way. Rather than filling it up with activities, it is argued that travel time must first be recognized…
Constrained Regression for Interval-Valued Data
Current regression models for interval-valued data do not guarantee that the predicted lower bound of the interval is always smaller than its upper bound. We propose a constrained regression model that preserves the natural order of the interval in all instances, either for in-sample fitted intervals or for interval forecasts. Within the framework of interval time series, we specify a general dynamic bivariate system for the upper and lower bound…

Flying through Ash Clouds
Scholars have recently been concerned with how the aviation industry is assembled through a series of tightly coupled processes and relations that render it fragile and prone to disruptions. While not disagreeing with this view, this paper explores some alternative ways aviation can be reunderstood as something more emergent and adaptable. Two ash cloud events, in Singapore and Australasia, are elucidated to show how breakdowns in air travel seld…

Translating the concept of Tao in relation to natural law
The concept of Tao has long been regarded as a conundrum for translators because of its complex connotations. Over the past century, many translations of the Tao Te Ching, in which the Tao originated and is elaborated, have appeared, with Waley’s version being one of the most authoritative. However, controversy and doubts about its translatability remain. This paper draws a comparison between Tao and ‘natural law’, which is a classic concept of W…

Aviation and Climate Change
This article seeks to re-understand climate change in terms of its constitutive state practices. Existing analyses tend to frame climate change as a security discourse, or as a manner of green governmentality normalising the uneven relations between the Global North and South, but seldom is the practical process realising climate change’s logics delineated. Using aviation as an example, this article traces how climate change, as discourse, contin…

Benefits of A Three-Day Bamboo Forest Therapy Session on the Psychophysiology and Immune System Responses of Male College Students
Forest therapy is a fast-growing treatment approach, as it has the potential to alleviate stressful life events and to improve psychological well-being and physical health. Bamboo forests are widespread in southwestern China. Nevertheless, a knowledge gap on the specific health benefits of bamboo forest (BF) therapy still exists. To explore the psycho-physiologic responses of participants to the effects of BF therapy, 60 male adults aged between …

Infrastructure's Expenditures
Urban research has long maintained that an unwavering link exists between urbanization and infrastructures, with the latter serving as structuring devices that give material and discursive shape to a city's socio-ecological composition. But, while infrastructures' mediative power and consequent ecological effects are well established, present scholarship tends to associate them with only a specific set of metabolisms-namely, those tied to urban (…
Aeromobilities in the Time of the Covid-19 Pandemic
This Perspective piece marks the ten-year anniversary of Transfers ’ life as a journal and its contributions to aeromobilities research. Reflecting on my own past decade learning and writing about aeromobilities, the article takes stock of some significant threads in the field, before charting out three key future directions for aeromobilities research prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic and health crisis. Without prejudice to existing scholarly th…
