Since early 2020, researchers have made efforts to study various issues related cities and the pandemic. Despite wealth of research on this topic, there are only a few review articles that explore multiple it. This is partly because rapid pace publications makes systematic literature challenging. To address issue, in present study, we rely bibliometric analysis techniques gain an overview knowledge structure map key themes trends Results 2,799 show mainly focuses six broad themes: air quality, meteorological factors, built environment transportation, socio-economic disparities, smart cities, with first three being dominant. Based findings, discuss major lessons can be learned from pandemic highlight areas need further research.

As a highly contagious disease, COVID-19 caused worldwide pandemic and it is still ongoing. However, the infection in China has been successfully controlled although its initial transmission was also nationwide serious public health crisis. The analysis on early-stage worth investigating for guiding significance prevention to other countries regions. In this study, we conducted experiments from perspectives of occurrence intensity. We eliminated unimportant factors 113 variables applied four machine learning-based classification regression models predict intensity, respectively. influence each important factor analysed when applicable.

Epidemics of infectious diseases have a great negative impact on people's daily life. How it changes over time and what kind laws obeys are important questions that researchers always interested in. Among the characteristics diseases, phenomenon recrudescence is undoubtedly concern. Understanding mechanisms outbreak cycle could be conducive for public health policies to government.In this study, we collected time-series data nine class C notifiable from 2009 2021 using datasets National Health Commission China. Oscillatory power each disease was captured method spectrum analysis.We found all strong oscillations, which divided into three categories according their oscillatory frequencies year. Then, calculated oscillation average number infected cases in first 6 years (2009-2015) next (2015-2021) since update surveillance system. The change positively correlated cases. Moreover, break out summer more selective than those winter.Our results enable us better understand provide guidance suggestions government's prevention control policies.

At present, basic connotation, empirical exploration optimized path coordinated development “three states” are not clear. In this paper, we take 14 prefecture-level cities in Liaoning Province as case areas empirically explore their spatial patterns, coupling coordination relationships, driving mechanisms paths by using a model, entropy weight method geographic detector method. results indicate that: (1) pattern varies significantly different regions, forming “dual-core” “hump” structure.

Abstract Hebei Province was affected by two coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak waves during the period 22 January 2020 through 27 February (wave 1) and 2 2021 14 2). To evaluate compare epidemiological characteristics, containment delay, cluster events social activity, as well non-pharmaceutical interventions of COVID-19 waves, we examined real-time update information on all COVID-19-confirmed cases from a publicly available database. Wave 1 closely linked with pandemic in Wuhan, whereas wave triggered, to certain extent, increasing activities such weddings, multi-household gatherings church slack agricultural period. In 2, epidemic spread undetected rural areas, people living areas had higher incidence rate than those urban (5.3 vs. 22.0 per 000 000). Furthermore, Rt greater early stage decreased substantially after massive were implemented. China's ‘new-normal’ situation, development targeted effective intervention remains key for control consideration potential threat new strains.
