Research on the optimization of plant communities in urban green space based on carbon sequestration efficiency enhancement
Open AccessPeiying Li, Sixiao Qi et al.ARTICLETrees Forests and People2026
In the context of global warming, urban green spaces, as important spatial units in artificial ecosystems that are associated with carbon uptake-related ecosystem functions, have become critical to ecological construction in cold-region cities. However, research rarely addresses small- and medium-scale green spaces, and the association patterns between community structure and carbon uptake potential in severe cold regions remains scarce. Taking t…
The evolution of traditional Chinese medicine education policies in China: Themes, characteristics, and experiences—a historical institutionalism analysis based on 197 policy texts
Open AccessFan Yang, Tao Yang et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2026
Background: This study examines the historical evolution of Chinese TCM education policies since 1949, analyzing the characteristics of each developmental stage, their underlying driving mechanisms, and their implications for modernizing traditional medical education. Methods: A mixed-methods approach was employed, combining quantitative content analysis (using NVivo) of 197 policy documents with qualitative analysis grounded in historical instit…
Deciphering Mobility in “Strip Cities”: Multiscale Mechanisms and Spatial Fusion of Ride-Hailing Demand Under Topographical Constraints
Open AccessDi Wang, Shuxin Jin et al.ARTICLEISPRS International Journal of…2026
Understanding the spatial generation mechanisms of ride-hailing demand is crucial for sustainable urban mobility. However, existing literature largely assumes monocentric urban layouts and globally stationary spatial scales, often overlooking the severe topographical constraints inherent in “strip cities”. To bridge this gap, the present study proposes a novel dual-level analytical framework coupling the Spatially Embedded Laplacian Graph Partiti…
A GIS-Integrated Spatial Optimization Framework for Weee Reverse Logistics in High-Density Urban Morphology
Open AccessHaijun Sun, Di Wang et al.ARTICLEISPRS International Journal of…2026
The rapid accumulation of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) presents severe environmental and resource challenges in high-density metropolises. Traditional reverse logistics (RL) network designs often overlook urban morphological constraints and treat recovery rates as static parameters. To address these gaps, this study proposes a GIS-integrated low-carbon WEEE RL framework. A Spatial Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) workfl…

A hybrid model for influenza forecasting in Xinjiang: Adapting to complex seasonality and post-Covid-19 structural breaks
Open AccessYanran Liu, Jingxia Guo et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2026
The proposed LSTM-GBR model provides a validated, robust, high-accuracy forecasting tool specifically for Xinjiang. It successfully addresses the failures of general-purpose models, which are unable to capture the region's complex local dynamics and emergent structural breaks. This localized feature-fusion approach is essential to strengthen public health surveillance in Xinjiang

Sustainability (Environmental, Social, and Governance) Reporting: Tracing Materiality’s Visionary and Relational Role over 25 Years through Boundary Objects and Boundary Work
Di Wang, Stuart Cooper et al.ARTICLEThe Accounting Review2025
The concept of materiality has acquired great significance in sustainability reporting. Through the theoretical bricolage of boundary objects and boundary work and drawing upon 91 interviews, we trace materiality’s evolving role across four interconnected episodes. Our findings show that materiality begins as a multivisionary object that draws the attention of largely unconnected groups. As different actors become more aware of each other, materi…

The Rhythm of the City: Everyday Chengdu in Nineteenth-Century Bamboo-Branch Poetry
Di WangARTICLELate imperial China2003
"Bamboo-branch poetry" (zhuzhici), lyrical descriptions of everyday life written by members of the elite class and containing four lines of seven characters each, was a traditional form of Chinese folk literature. 1 Unlike most other forms of poetry, bamboo-branch poetry was not meant to express the poet's imagination, emotions, or abstract thinking. Rather, it was a literary form that directly and concretely described people, events, and things—…

This article reveals that teahouses were the scene of a variety of conflicts, from verbal disputes and petty thefts to violence and murder. The author argues that the teahouse, although mainly a place for leisure, business and public life, also became an arena for struggle for livelihood. The teahouse was a microcosm of Chengdu, and anything undertaken there reflected the larger society. Conflicts in the teahouse to a large extent reflected curre…

Social Relationships and the Emergence of Social Networks
Open AccessAlistair Sutcliffe, Di Wang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Artificial Societies…2012
In complex social systems such as those of many mammals, including humans, groups (and hence ego-centric social networks) are commonly structured in discrete layers. We describe a computational model for the development of social relationships based on agents' strategies for social interaction that favour more less-intense, or fewer more-intense partners. A trust-related process controls the formation and decay of relationships as a function of i…
Investigating the Relative Influence of Genes and Memes in Healthcare
Open AccessAlistair Sutcliffe, Di WangARTICLEJournal of Artificial Societies…2012
The process by which genes and memes influence behaviour is poorly understood. Genes generally may have a strong influence as predispositions directing individuals towards certain behaviours; whereas memes may have a less direct influence as information inputs to cognitive processes determining behaviour. In certain areas of medical science, knowledge has progressed towards approximate quantification of genetic influences, while social psychology…

A computational model for the development of social relationships is described. The model implements agent strategies for social interaction based on Dunbar's Social Brain Hypothesis (SBH). A trust related process controls the formation and decay of relationships as a function of interaction frequency, the history of interaction, and the agents' strategies. A good fit the SBH predictions was found across a range of model parameter settings, which…

Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWFs) have become important and controversial in global economy. We analyze why some SWFs have more encompassing and clearly specified governance rules than others. We argue that SWF institutionalization is structurally rooted in a country’s regime type and number of veto players in public policymaking. Democracy promotes SWF institutionalization by its need for strong rule of law, voters trying to constrain opportunistic …
