The development of China’s high-density urbanisation process has made people aware the widespread injustice in urban green space (UGS) as a means to improving residents’ well-being. Chinese National Forest City (NFCC) policy is one construction models that aims develop greening and reduce inequality This study used combination qualitative research index quantification explore relationship between spatial distribution NFCCs factors affecting allocation their impacts. results show changes indicators NFCC reflect national government’s decision-making orientation towards achieving environmental equity, main unequal are highly correlated with UGS resources. analysed from new perspective provides useful information for forest order ensure sufficient China elimination inequity.

BACKGROUND: Due to the emergence of smartphone addiction, as a 21th century phenomenon, investigating its subsequent negative effects is essential. OBJECTIVE: The present study aims test predicting effect addiction on musculoskeletal discomfort in hand/neck region well cognitive failures. METHODS: A cross-sectional was designed which 533 users (60.2% females and 39.8% males; mean age: 35.9±11.0 years) participated. Smartphone Addiction Scale (SAS), Cognitive Failures Questionnaires (CFQ), Neck Disability Index (NDI) Cornell Hand Discomfort Questionnaire (CHDQ) were used for data collection. Age, gender occupational use electronic devices considered socio-demographic factors. Independent t -test, chi-square, logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: overall prevalence 37.9% among Iranian 20–61 years users. Addicted 3.3, 2.2, 2.9, 2.8 times more likely develop right hand, left neck, failures than non-addicted High predicted right-hand (by 2.6 times) 3.4 times). Women significantly all studied outcomes. Age did not predict any CONCLUSIONS: smartphones can lead sharp rise neck hand discomfort, failures, particularly working age people. This concerning issue that requires effective preventive corrective measures. Developing behavioral approaches address this problem help reduce impact society.

The post-pandemic era presents dual challenges for urban recovery: overcoming its impacts and shaping a new socio-economic pattern. Promoting recovery through non-pharmaceutical intervention is crucial. This study examines the of built environment on in Metropolitan Nagoya period. Here we find that geographical weighted random forest (GWRF) model has better performance central districts (kappa value 67 ± 18%) compared to peripheral areas Nagoya, Japan. balance jobs housing pre-pandemic emerges as crucial factor recovery, especially low level area. Moreover, accessibility secondary roads notably promotes area, while this also introduces risk lower levels. By integrating nonlinear spatial methodology, offers policymakers insights into how different can impact environmental sustainability pandemic becoming frequently.
