A comprehensive understanding of urban thermal environments is vital for improving planning and design strategies to mitigate the heat island effect as part sustainable development. This study investigates fine-scale environment within high density cities using multi-sourced open satellite data. The whole area was first classified based on features such building morphology land cover, local climate zone scheme; then performance different zones assessed Experiments conducted in two...
Abstract In this paper, we study urban migrants' sense of place in G uangzhou, C hina, focusing on the structural relations between attachment, identification and dependence as three key dimensions. Through both quantitative equation modelling qualitative analysis in‐depth interviews data, our research suggests that demonstrates complex relationships registers emotional identity formation functional dependence. The construction is also related to personal experiences living ‘outsiders’. Our...
Urban living labs (ULLs) have an experimental and transformative approach towards urban sustainability. Engaging with existing literature on two fields of research in which ULLs figure prominently, namely environmental governance sustainability transition, this article rethinks hierarchical institutional perspectives ULL knowledge co-production that highlight the upscaling policy models institutions to achieve social relevance efficacy. In contrast, study highlights individual participants...
The majority of Anglophone literature tends to portray Confucius Institutes as playing a successful role serving China’s interests in its foreign collaborations.

Relying cartograms, correlation national image analyses well qualitative studies, article examines globalized localized. This reports three main findings: (1) geopolitical...
An understanding of the driving factors urban heat islands could improve thermal environment and provide planning strategies for sustainable urban/regional development. We selected Guangdong province in China as a case area, which covers 21 cities more than 110 million people. used multitemporal remote sensing data from multiple sources socioeconomic statistical to analyze effects various drivers surface (SUHIs). The tested include agglomeration, physical indicators (e.g., vegetation...
Background: Periconception folic acid supplementation has been suggested to protect against congenital heart disease (CHD), but the association between maternal red blood cell (RBC) folate, gold-standard biomarker of folate exposure, and subsequent offspring CHD risk is lacking. Objective: To quantify periconception RBC risk. Design: Prospective, nested, case–control study 1-sample Mendelian randomization. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02737644) Setting: 29 maternity institutions in 12 districts...
Microplastics (MPs) and antibiotics (ATs) have been detected in various aquatic environments characterized as novel contaminants that attracted worldwide attention. This review summarizes the characteristics of MPs ATs, analyzes sources ATs environments, reviews concentration distribution two pollutants China, introduces environmental effects mixing ATs. Studies on single or are well established, but interactions between rarely mentioned. The physicochemical make them carriers which greatly...

In this paper, we investigate interruption, reconfirmation renegotiation local residents former municipal district Dongshan, Guangzhou,...
Abstract In February 2020, China’s Ministry of Education and Science Technology issued an official Opinion discouraging the use Citation Index (SCI) as a framework for assessment research performance. There is need to assess origin new policy, how it will reshape cultures practices scientific knowledge production in China. We suggest that while concerns over quality conduct scientists are at play, deeper reason underlying government’s adoption more cautious stance towards SCI wider social...
Since passing a wildlife protection law in 1989, China has made great strides conservation (1). Protection natural habitats, zoos, and release of captive back into nature have all facilitated the population growth species such as Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris ssp. altaica) Amur leopard pardus orientalis) (2). These animals, search additional food space, enter areas developed by humans, leading to human-wildlife conflicts (3, 4). From late 1990s through 2010, there were more than 6000 cases...
