Hydroclimatic Sensitivity and Climate-Stress Testing of Flash Droughts in China under a Contemporary Human-Activity Context
AI for architecture: From style-driven generation to structure-guided design
This essay argues that the most consequential question for AI in architecture is not whether AI can generate buildings, but whether it can be guided toward designs that are coherent, beautiful, and supportive of human life. To move past the present impasse of style-driven generation, the essay develops a Living Structure + AI paradigm grounded in Christopher Alexander's theory and operationalised through a skeleton–skin workflow. The skeleton enc…
Unveiling Patterns of Generative AI Integration That Enhance Learning: A Systematic Review of Empirical Studies
Financial toxicity and its association with quality of life and psychological distress among patients with gynecologic cancers receiving radiotherapy in China: A multicenter cross-sectional study
Background Financial toxicity is increasingly recognized as a consequential dimension of cancer care, yet multicenter evidence in China remains limited for patients with gynecologic cancers undergoing radiotherapy, a treatment pathway that often entails repeated visits and substantial non-medical costs. This study estimated the prevalence and severity of financial toxicity and examined its association with quality of life and psychological distre…
Mind the Gap: Institutional Capacity, Globalization, and the Discrepancy Between Criminal Justice and Health Homicide Data
In this research, we treat the “homicide gap”—discrepancies in homicides recorded as deaths by public health systems and as crimes by criminal justice systems—as an outcome to be explained. Drawing on new institutionalism theory, we argue that the level of discrepancy between homicide data from the two sources reflects the capacity of domestic institutions and the extent to which countries are embedded in globalized systems of norms and governanc…
When sadists become internet trolls: The mechanism of aggressive humor and self-concept clarity
Prior research has confirmed that the Dark Tetrad's sadism trait is a contributing factor to Internet trolling. However, little is yet known about how and under what circumstances sadism has an effect. From the perspective of expression styles and individual differences of trolls, the purpose of this study is to explore the potential mediating role of aggressive humor in the link between sadism and Internet trolling, as well as the moderating rol…

This study aimed to investigate the prospective relationships between sleep patterns, depressive symptoms, and incident thyroid diseases in a large cohort. Utilizing data from 371,627 United Kingdom Biobank participants, sleep patterns were categorized as healthy, moderate, or poor based on five behaviors: …
Impact of a National Volume-Based Procurement Policy in China on purchase of nucleoside/nucleotide analog drugs for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B virus infection
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health issue, with approximately 1.5 million new infections and around 820,000 deaths annually around the globe. China carries the heaviest burden of HBV infection in the world, making it crucial to improve the accessibility of antiviral treatment for hepatitis B. In 2019, China implemented a National Volume-Based Procurement (NVBP) policy, which included two nucleoside/nucleotide analog drugs …
Research on the Spiritual Connotation of Chinese Taijiquan Culture
Taijiquan, as an essential part of China's intangible cultural heritage, is a unique form of exercise that integrates physical exercise, cultural connotation, and philosophical thoughts. Its foundation is deeply rooted in the principle of harmonious balance between Taoism and Confucianism, showing the profound historical deposits and cultural essence. Although Tai Chi has been widely recognized around the world, its modernization process and comm…
Dynamics of China’s natural cities and their living structures derived from nighttime lights and populated grids
The term “natural cities” refers to human settlements or human activities in general that are naturally or objectively defined. In this study, we utilized the head/tail breaks method to identify natural cities and characterize their living structures in mainland China from 2000 to 2020. This identification was based on nighttime light (NTL) and gridded population distribution (GPD) data, which, respectively, indicate urban areas and residential s…
The relationship between presence of meaning and life satisfaction among Chinese young adults: A moderated mediation model of perceived stress and hope
Presence of meaning in life was positively associated with life satisfaction among Chinese young adults. Furthermore, perceived stress played a mediating role in the association between presence of meaning in life and life satisfaction, and this mediating effect was moderated by hope
Multi-criteria decision analysis of value evaluation of rare disease medical insurance drugs in China
This study initially constructed a value evaluation system for the inclusion of rare disease drugs in medical insurance, based on MCDA and multi-stakeholder perspectives. However, the system relied heavily on expert opinions and lacks empirical analysis. Given the complexity of real-world applications, further validation is necessary to assess the system's applicability and feasibility
Has Globalization Reduced Worldwide Terrorist Attacks
Policymakers and researchers have frequently assumed that worldwide globalization has increased terrorist attacks, especially following the 9/11 attacks. However, we argue that there are strong theoretical reasons to expect that globalization is instead associated with decreases in terrorism. There are surprisingly few direct empirical tests. Using annual data from a sample of 143 countries, from 1970 to 2018, we provide a systematic, cross-natio…

This study was carried out for 2 semesters on 102 university students and they are required to use a digital textbook system called DITeL to review courseware. Students’ backtracking behaviors are characterized by seven backtracking features…
Comparing the Determinants of Worldwide Homicide and Terrorism
Over the past two decades, the study of terrorism has been increasingly integrated into mainstream criminology. Like other types of criminal behavior, terrorism can be divided into etiology (an emphasis on “breaking laws”) and criminal justice (an emphasis on “making laws” and “reacting toward the breaking of laws”). Moreover, like the study of crime, the study of terrorism is inherently multidisciplinary. Nevertheless, terrorism differs from mor…
A topology-based approach to identifying urban centers in America using multi-source geospatial big data
Urban structure can be better comprehended through analyzing its cores. Geospatial big data facilitate the identification of urban centers in terms of high accuracy and accessibility. However, previous studies seldom leverage multi-source geospatial big data to identify urban centers from a topological perspective. This study attempts to identify urban centers through the spatial integration of multi-source geospatial big data, including nighttim…

Calibrating Spatial Stratified Heterogeneity for Heavy-Tailed Distributed Data
The phenomena with within-strata characteristics that are more similar than between-strata characteristics are ubiquitous (e.g., land-use types and image classifications). It can be summarized as spatial stratified heterogeneity (SSH), which is measured and attributed using the geographical detector (Geodetector) q-statistic. SSH is typically calibrated by stratification and hundreds of algorithms have been developed. Little is discussed about th…
Climate Change, Fish Production, and Maritime Piracy
Contemporary social science has produced little research on connections between climate change and crime. Nonetheless, much prior research suggests that economic insecurity may affect individual calculations of the cost and benefit of engaging in criminal behavior, and climate change is likely to have important economic consequences for professions like fishing that depend directly on the environment. In this paper, we test the possibility that c…

Social Sustainability and Alexander’s Living Structure Through a New Kind of City Science
The disputed endorsement of inherited visceral and universal aesthetic preferences justifies the scientific validity of Alexander’s living structure. Apart from implying a resource-efficient way to promote well-being through urban design, the premise favors a collective approach to human self-perception and social justice. To better understand the contributions of Alexander, this article explores current knowledge about visceral and universal aes…
Prediction of spring agricultural drought using machine learning algorithms in the southern Songnen Plain, China
Winter climate conditions have a great effect on spring soil moisture (SM) in cold regions. The frequent occurrence of spring drought events in the Songnen Plain poses a significant threat to food security. In this study, we selected the random forest (RF) algorithm from three currently popular machine learning algorithms to predict the spatial pattern of average SM for the period of April 1–15 and April 16–30 with 1 km resolution in the dry crop…

Cognitive and Usability Issues in Geovisualization
We provide a research agenda for the International Cartographic Association's Commission on Visualization and Virtual Environment working group on Cognitive and Usability Issues in Geovisualization. Developments in hardware and software have led to (and will continue to stimulate) novel methods for visualizing geospatial data. It is our belief that these novel methods will be of little use if they are not developed within a theoretical cognitive …
Ht-Index for Quantifying the Fractal or Scaling Structure of Geographic Features
Although geographic features, such as mountains and coastlines, are fractal, some studies have claimed that the fractal property is not universal. This claim, which is dubious, is mainly attributed to the strict definition of fractal dimension as a measure or index for characterizing the complexity of fractals. In this article, we propose an alternative, ht-index, to quantify the fractal or scaling structure of geographic features. A geographic f…

Scaling of Geographic Space as a Universal Rule for Map Generalization
Map generalization is a process of producing maps at different levels of detail by retaining essential properties of the underlying geographic space. In this article, we explore how the map generalization process can be guided by the underlying scaling of geographic space. The scaling of geographic space refers to the fact that in a geographic space, small things are far more common than large ones. In the corresponding rank-size distribution, th…

Visualization of Qualitative Locations in Geographic Information Systems
A qualitative location (QL) refers to the reference of a spatial location using linguistic terms such as qualitative descriptions and qualitative spatial relations with other geo-referenced features. Qualitative locations will be increasingly more popular in the future, driven by theoretical, technological, and database developments. Multiplicity and uncertainty are two innate characteristics of QLs. In other words, a QL often has multiple target…
The Image of the City out of the Underlying Scaling of City Artifacts or Locations
Two fundamental issues surrounding research on the image of the city respectively focus on the city's external and internal representations. The external representation in the context of this paper refers to the city itself, external to human minds, while the internal representation concerns how the city is represented in human minds internally. This paper deals with the first issue, i.e., what trait the city has that make it imageable? We develo…

Living Structure Down to Earth and Up to Heaven: Christopher Alexander
Discovered by Christopher Alexander, living structure is a physical phenomenon, through which the quality of the built environment or artifacts can be judged objectively. It has two distinguishing properties just like a tree: “Far more small things than large ones” across all scales from the smallest to the largest, and “more or less similar things” on each scale. As a physical phenomenon, and mathematical concept, living structure is essentially…

Topological Analysis of Urban Street Networks
The authors propose a topological analysis of large urban street networks based on a computational and functional graph representation. This representation gives a functional view in which vertices represent named streets and edges represent street intersections. A range of graph measures, including street connectivity, average path length, and clustering coefficient, are computed for structural analysis. In order to characterise different cluste…

Zipf's law for all the natural cities in the United States: A geospatial perspective
This article provides a new geospatial perspective on whether or not Zipf's law holds for all cities or for the largest cities in the United States using a massive dataset and its computing. A major problem around this issue is how to define cities or city boundaries. Most of the investigations of Zipf's law rely on the demarcations of cities imposed by census data, for example, metropolitan areas and census-designated places. These demarcations …

Head/Tail Breaks: A New Classification Scheme for Data with a Heavy-Tailed Distribution
This article introduces a new classification scheme—head/tail breaks—to find groupings or hierarchy for data with a heavy-tailed distribution. The heavy-tailed distributions are heavily right skewed, with a minority of large values in the head and a majority of small values in the tail, commonly characterized by a power law, a lognormal, or an exponential function. For example, a country's population is often distributed in such a heavy-tailed ma…

Crowdsourcing, Citizen Science or Volunteered Geographic Information? The Current State of Crowdsourced Geographic Information
Citizens are increasingly becoming an important source of geographic information, sometimes entering domains that had until recently been the exclusive realm of authoritative agencies. This activity has a very diverse character as it can, amongst other things, be active or passive, involve spatial or aspatial data and the data provided can be variable in terms of key attributes such as format, description and quality. Unsurprisingly, therefore, t…

Line Simplification
As an important practice of map generalization, the aim of line simplification is to reduce the number of points without destroying the essential shape or the salient character of a cartographic curve. This subject has been well studied in the literature. This entry attempts to introduce how line simplification can be guided by fractal geometry, or the recurring scaling pattern of far more small things than large ones. The line simplification pro…
