  • Divergent UK responses to Chinese overseas investments

    Haoran ZhangARTICLEEconomic and Political Studies2026References: 19

    This study delves into what explains the United Kingdom’s (UK’s) contrasting policy results towards two prominent Chinese investment cases: approving China General Nuclear Power Corporation’s (CGN’s) involvement in the Hinkley project, while rejecting Huawei’s access to the 5G telecom market. It employs a ‘semi-negative case comparison’ method to compare cases that have a similar mechanism but yield different outcomes. To be specific, drawing on …

  • Mobilizing spatial capital through planner-mediated exploratory walks

    Open AccessShiyang Chen, Tong Sheng et al.ARTICLEPlanning Practice and Research2025

    Current urban renewal in China lacks effective public engagement, limiting the agency enabled by the ‘Responsible Planner’ mechanism. This paper explores how exploratory walks mediated by planners support problem identification and co-production of interventions. By analysing spatial capital through the spatial distribution of four forms of capital, it examines and operationalizes spatial (in)justices in community renewal. Two case studies in Bei…

  • Vitality at Play

    Open AccessJie Ma, Haoran Zhang et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Creative Behavior2025References: 32

    Past research holds that curiosity motivates creativity via two primary mechanisms—exploration and absorption. We propose that vitality is a more fundamental mechanism integrating them. According to the self‐determination theory, curiosity fuels vitality as it aligns with the natural inclination toward autonomy, competence, and relatedness. It is through enhanced vitality that curiosity further leads to exploration and absorption, which altogethe…

  • Global environmental impacts of food system from regional shock

    Open AccessHaoran Zhang, Limin Jiao et al.ARTICLEHumanities and Social Sciences…2024

    Different responses to external interference, such as regional conflict, could have distinct sustainability outcomes. Here, we developed a novel framework to examine global food shortages from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and quantify the embodied environmental impacts of disturbed and alternative food supply chains. The conflict could soon bring a 50–120 Mt shortage of nine dominant food products and cause temporal global cropland abandonment and…

    Open AccessYao Yao, Yinghong Jiang et al.ARTICLEISPRS International Journal of…2024

    Human mobility data are crucial for transportation planning and congestion management. However, challenges persist in accessing and using raw mobility data due to privacy concerns and data quality issues such as redundancy, missing values, and noise. This research introduces an innovative GIS-based framework for creating individual-level long-term spatio-temporal mobility data at a city scale. The methodology decomposes and represents individual …

  • Evaluation of spatiotemporal variation and impact factors for vegetation net primary productivity in a typical open‐pit mining ecosystem in northwestern China

    Open AccessJinyang Wang, Kuankuan Cui et al.ARTICLELand Degradation and Development2024

    The vegetation net primary productivity (NPP) is a key indicator for evaluating vegetation carbon sequestration. Exploring its spatiotemporal changes and impact factors is essential for coal mining and ecological restoration in open‐pit mining areas. This study utilized the Carnegie‐Ames‐Stanford‐Approach (CASA) model to calculate monthly vegetation NPP in the Xiwan mine area, a typical open‐pit mine in northwestern China. The trend, stability, a…

  • Diversity, complementarity and synergy

    Open AccessHaoran ZhangARTICLEHTS Teologiese Studies /…2024

    This article explores ecological theology in mainland China from 1990 to 2024 through the lens of Stephen B. Bevans’ contextual theology. By analysing its reception, it becomes clear that a distinctly contextualised ecological theology has not yet emerged in China. Considering this gap, the article examines potential directions for Chinese ecological theology across four dimensions of contextual theology. The academic and religious communities sh…

  • Thomas F. Torrance on Christian Theological Instinct

    Open AccessHaoran ZhangARTICLEDialog2024

    Central to Thomas F. Torrance's theological epistemology is an emphasis on the objectivity. However, Torrance also recognizes seemingly subjective “Christian theological instinct.” Regrettably, existing researches have not sufficiently explored the meaning of theological instinct nor thoroughly examined its implications for the subject–object relationship within Torrance's theological epistemology. Considering this scholarly gap, this paper under…

  • Learning curve analysis of robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty with a Chinese surgical system

    Open AccessMario T García, Haoran Zhang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Orthopaedic Surgery…2023

    The study determined that the learning curve for robotic-assisted TKA using the HURWA knee surgery robot ranged from 8 to 20 cases. No observable learning curve effect was detected for bone cutting accuracy or limb alignment. Experienced surgeons using the HURWA robot for bone cutting took less time and reached the learning curve earlier. The HURWA robot achieved better limb alignment without depending on the experience of conventional TKA.
