Anchor-Guided Balanced Learning for Trajectory Representation
Trajectory Representations Learning (TRL) serves as a foundational technology for supporting intelligent transportation. However, models trained on real-world data often suffer from performance degradation caused by inherent spatiotemporal distribution bias, which reflects the heterogeneity of urban structures and human movement behaviors. This leads to representations that overfit to frequent patterns, resulting in weak robustness and limited ge…
Aesthetic modular source and carbon potential as mathematical foundations for architectural Aigc design
Most architects rely on aesthetic intuition, often neglecting the mathematical foundations that underlie aesthetic judgement in design. This study addresses this gap by proposing a mathematical framework that supports both aesthetic excellence and low-carbon performance in architecture. The first contribution is to identify the essence of modular aesthetics as rooted in classical mathematical constructs—ratio, sequence, and spiral. The second con…

Rating prediction is a challenging task in review-aware recommendation. Although current methods effectively combine collaborative signals with review data, they fail to differentiate user preferences across various ratings and overlook the independence between these ratings. In this article, we emphasize the importance of independence modeling among representations for different rating levels. To this end, we propose a rating-oriented explicit d…

Contested circular economy and mixed social implications from practice
‘Circular economy’ is a popular term used by various parties to refer to the necessary transition towards a sustainable future. Yet, there is still no consensus on its definition or application, the current discourse favours an approach that focuses on the technical improvement of material flows while neglects the social considerations. Consequently, despite circular economy's popularity, various social concerns have also been raised, including j…

Multimodal Hierarchical Graph Collaborative Filtering for Multimedia-Based Recommendation
Multimedia-based recommendation (MMRec) is a challenging task, which goes beyond the collaborative filtering (CF) schema that only captures collaborative signals from interactions and explores multimodal user preference cues hidden in complex multimedia content. Despite the significant progress of current solutions for MMRec, we argue that they are limited by multimodal noise contamination. Specifically, a considerable amount of preference-irrele…

Americanization of French Theory and the Rise of “Chinese Postism”
Chinese Postism refers to Chinese versions of poststructuralism, postmodernism and postcolonialism, three major western theoretical trends prefixed with "post." Chinese Postism is largely retranslations of English translations (and interpretations) of French theories of poststructuralism and postmodernism, as well as postcolonialism as American appropriation of French theories. Revisiting the French- American-Chinese journey of theory may help un…

Emphatic Interpretations of Object Marking in Bantu Languages
This paper investigates emphatic interpretations of object marking in various Bantu languages. We focus on Lubukusu (spoken in Kenya) and Cinyungwe (spoken in Mozambique) in particular, but we also report initial evidence from other Bantu languages (mainly Tiriki, Wanga, and Ikalanga). In these languages, OM-doubling—the co-occurrence of an object marker with a lexical DP object—is infelicitous in neutral pragmatic contexts. However, we show that…
A Brief Overview of ChatGPT
ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence generated content (AIGC) model developed by OpenAI, has attracted world-wide attention for its capability of dealing with challenging language understanding and generation tasks in the form of conversations. This paper briefly provides an overview on the history, status quo and potential future development of ChatGPT, helping to provide an entry point to think about ChatGPT.

Joint Multi-Grained Popularity-Aware Graph Convolution Collaborative Filtering for Recommendation
Graph convolution networks (GCNs), with their efficient ability to capture high-order connectivity in graphs, have been widely applied in recommender systems. Stacking multiple neighbor aggregation is the major operation in GCNs. It implicitly captures popularity features because the number of neighbor nodes reflects the popularity of a node. However, existing GCN-based methods ignore a universal problem: users’ sensitivity to item popularity is …

Combinational Recommendation of Vaccinations, Mask-Wearing, and Home-Quarantine to Control Influenza in Megacities
The outbreak of COVID-19 stimulated a new round of discussion on how to deal with respiratory infectious diseases. Influenza viruses have led to several pandemics worldwide. The spatiotemporal characteristics of influenza transmission in modern cities, especially megacities, are not well-known, which increases the difficulty of influenza prevention and control for populous urban areas. For a long time, influenza prevention and control measures ha…
Exploring the Driving Factors of Remote Sensing Ecological Index Changes from the Perspective of Geospatial Differentiation
Using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) platform, Moderate-resolution image spectroradiometer (MODIS) data of the Weihe River Basin from 2001 to 2021 were acquired, four ecological indicators, namely, greenness, wetness, heat, and dryness, were extracted, and the remote sensing ecological index (RSEI) was constructed through principal component analysis. In addition, the geographic detectors and a multi-scale geographic weighted regression model (MGW…
Spatial and Temporal Characteristics of Urban Tourism Travel by Taxi—A Case Study of Shenzhen
Tourism networks are an important research part of tourism geography. Despite the significance of transportation in shaping tourism networks, current studies have mainly focused on the “daily behavior” of urban travel at the expense of tourism travel, which has been regarded as an “exceptional behavior”. To fill this gap, this study proposes a framework for exploring the spatial and temporal characteristics of urban tourism travel by taxi. We cho…

Evaluation of Social Values for Ecosystem Services in Urban Riverfront Space Based on the SolVES Model
Urban riverfront space has diversified ecosystem services, but due to excessive changes in the geographical environment, such as drastic changes in land use, people gain social value at a great ecological cost. Obtaining benefits from the ecosystem in this way is not sustainable. Therefore, this paper uses the SolVES model to evaluate the social value of ecosystem services on the east bank of the Fenghe River, while also studying the contribution…
Coupling Coordination Relationship and Driving Mechanism between Urbanization and Ecosystem Service Value in Large Regions
Mastering the coupling and coordination relationship and driving mechanism of urbanization and ecosystem service value (ESV) is of great significance to ecological protection and regional sustainable development. In this paper, the coupling coordination model, geographic detector and GWR model are used to analyze the spatio-temporal coupling interaction between urbanization and ESV and the spatial differentiation characteristics of influencing fa…
How the environment is conceptualised and represented globally in social work codes of ethics
While the environment is fundamental to humankind’s wellbeing, to date, social work has been largely focused on the social, rather than the physical, environment. To map how the broader environment is captured in the profession’s foundational documents, an exploratory sequential mixed methods study (QUAL → quan) analysed data from 64 social work codes of ethics. Findings indicate that although the environment is mentioned in the majority of these…

Is There an Alternative to (Capitalist) Globalization?
Popular Culture and the Culture of the Masses in Contemporary China
Popular culture is perhaps the best place to test the claim that (capitalist) globalization is now an accepted reality, as the new world-space of cultural production and representation is inhabited by images and goods pertaining to the everyday life of the world population, that is, by images and goods that are manufactured by multinational corporations and circulated in a global market. China, the emergent economic giant of the 1990s, has caught…

Poeticizing Revolution
Slavoj Žižek has recently written quite extensively on Mao and China. This article is a commentary on his writings. Tracing the genealogy of Western Marxism from Gramsci, Athusser, and Badiou to Žižek, I argue that Žižek's misreading of the Chinese Revolution, especially Mao's theory and practice, as well as his comments on contemporary China reveal his Eurocentric biases and a habit of aestheticizing or poeticizing revolutionary practice. Žižek'…

Introduction
After four years' interlude, we return to a special issue of Comparative Literature Studies (CLS), with a larger claim on East Asian comparative literature than the first one, “Modern China and the World: Literary Constructions” (CLS vol. 49, no. 4, 2012), to which I penned an introduction. The present volume, however, is not the second special issue on China-related topics. The second special issue, “Global Maoism and Cultural Revolution in the …
Social Sciences, Humanities and Liberal Arts
For the most part, modern China’s institutions and modes of knowledge have been shaped and predominantly influenced by the West. Since the modern Chinese knowledge system is an integral and inseparable part of that dominant western system, an immanent critique will view Chinese problems not as extraneous, but as intrinsic to modernity, to the world-system or globalization. This article traces the genealogy of modern European modes of knowledge un…
Local Residents’ Perceptions for Ecosystem Services
