The Dynamics of Qiaoxiang Spatial Cultural Resources Integration - Taking Jiangmen City as an Example

This paper starting from the overseas Chinese building complex in Jiangmen -- 33 Market Street and Changdi Historic Street to approach the topic with the cultural resources in the hometown of overseas Chinese (Qiaoxiang). By exploring the past and future of Qiaoxiang resources in the form of overseas Chinese architecture, this paper tries to outline the cultural spiritual value of overseas Chinese life aesthetics in the context of globalization, based on the practice and dynamic value of cultural resources beyond the geographical material space generated by the dual function of traditional local values and western culture. It reveals the traditional concept, geographical concept and realistic intention of the people behind the overseas Chinese architecture in the specific historical background. As a dynamic cultural symbol, Qiaoxiang is not recognized by people through the architecture of overseas Chinese but sublimates the whole hometown resources into a whole cultural symbol of Qiaoxiang.

Editor’s Note

What’s your favorite Newbery Medal-winning book? For me, hands down, it’s the book I most recommend at my library—Neil Gaiman’s The Graveyard Book. (A close second is Last Stop on Market Street . . . but, wait, then there’s Flora & Ulysses . . . ).OK, you get my point. It’s tough to pick just one; thankfully, we have one hundred years of fantastic literature to choose from! And all so different—the list now, thankfully, includes a picture book and a graphic novel, and more books from BIPOC authors are being rightfully honored.

고려전기 개경시장과 사시(徙市) 기우제-『고려도경(高麗圖經)』 속 허시(虛市)의 실체-

The market for licensed shops in Gaegyeong (present-day Gaeseong) was established in the reign of King Taejo (918-943). Its size was greatly enlarged as siga 市街 (lit. market streets) were constructed in it and galleries were built alongside the siga. The siga were broad and spread from sipjaga 十字街 (lit. cross street) in the south to Gwanghwa Gate in the north. The galleries were filled with stores. The siga along with the galleries were the most important part of the market for licensed shops and the most prosperous commercial area of Gaegyeong. Xu Jing 徐兢 (1091- 1153), a Song official who came with the Xuanhe Embassy to Goryeo in 1123, stayed in Gaegyeong for a month. He had a chance to see the siga but could not observe commercial activity taking place there because of the rainmaking practice, in which the ruler moved the marketplace to a narrow space in order to make it crowded like clouds. Goryeo suffered drought in that year. During his sojourn in Gaegyeong, the rainmaking practice was conducted and accordingly the shops in the market were closed. Once the practice started to be held, the court opened another market, called hangsi 巷市 (lit. lane market), in a certain narrow road of Gaegyeong. Xu Jing was able to hear a story about the hangsi, and the story reminded him of the xushi 虛市 (lit. empty market) in his country. Since he did not know the name hangsi, he instead called it xushi when he recorded his travelogue, the Illustrated Account of the Xuanhe Embassy to Goryeo.

Randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, safety and efficacy study of dutogliptin in combination with filgrastim in early recovery post-MI: rationale, design and first interim analysis

Abstract Background Regenerative therapies offer new approaches to improve cardiac function after acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Mobilization of stem cells and homing within the infarcted area have been identified as the key mechanisms for successful treatment. Application of granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) is the least invasive way to mobilize stem cells while DDP4-inhibitor facilitates homing via stromal cell-derived factor 1 alpha (SDF-1α). Dutogliptin, a novel DPP4 inhibitor, combined with stem cell mobilization using G-CSF significantly improved survival and reduced infarct size in a murine model. Purpose We initiated a phase II, multicenter, randomized, placebo-controlled efficacy and safety study (N=140) analyzing the effect of combined application of G-CSF and dutogliptin, a small molecule DPP-IV-inhibitor for subcutaneous use after acute myocardial infarction. Methods The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of dutogliptin (14 days) in combination with filgrastim (5 days) in patients with STEMI (EF <45%) following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Preliminary efficacy will be analyzed using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) to detect >3.8% improvement in left ventricular ejection fraction (LV-EF). 140 subjects will be randomized to filgrastim plus dutogliptin or matching placebos. Results Baseline characteristics of the first 26 patients randomized (24 treated) in this trial reveal a majority of male patients (70.8%) and a medium age of 58.4 years (37 to 84). During the 2-week active treatment period, 35 adverse events occurred in 13 patients, with 4 rated as serious (hospitalization due to pneumonia N=3, hospitalization due to acute myocardial infarction N=1), and 1 adverse event was rated as severe (fatal pneumonia), 9 moderate, and 25 as mild. 6 adverse events were considered possibly related to the study medication, including cases of increased hepatic enzymes (N=3), nausea (N=1), subcutaneous node/suffusion (N=1) and syncope (N=1). Conclusions Our data demonstrate that the combined application of dutogliptin and G-CSF appears to be safe on the short term and feasible after acute myocardial infarction and may represent a new therapeutic option in future.

The street as workspace: Assessing street vendors’ rights to trees in Hyderabad, India

Urban street trees provide critical ecosystem services such as shade and contribute to the health and well-being of urban residents - especially those who spend much of the day outdoors. Our paper focusses on one of the most vulnerable groups in a city: street vendors, who spend much of their time on streets, with or without trees. Most contemporary visions for green cities ignore street vendors and fail to consider their uses and expectations of public green spaces. Drawing from in-depth interviews with 75 street vendors in 11 market streets in the hot Indian city of Hyderabad, we discuss their perceptions of the importance of trees for their daily work and livelihood and describe the challenges that street vendors face in accessing shade in a hot city. In several instances, “development” of urban areas has led to gentrification, with the felling of trees and displacement of street vendors, bringing into question their ‘right to the city’. We argue that street vendors are largely left out of considerations of urban ecological planning, despite being one of the groups most affected by the availability of wooded streets in cities. Ecologists, urban researchers, planners and landscape designers must explicitly consider greening strategies from the perspective of street vendors for inclusive, sustainable urban development.

Second-hand shoe circulations in Tunis

Research on the second-hand clothes trade has focused on global value chains and transnational circulations from the Global North to the Global South. This article instead investigates the circulation of a ubiquitous and highly popular second-hand commodity, namely shoes, in the Tunisian capital city Tunis. The second-hand materials – referred to as “fripe” in Tunisia – that arrive in the Tunis cargo port have been donated or discarded in their countries of origin and their commodity value is thus uncertain. In addition, second-hand shoes are officially banned from sale on the Tunisian market. In order to explain how fripe shoes are nevertheless transferred into new commodity situations in Tunis, this article hones in on processes of valuation at the urban scale. Three locations that feature prominently in the urban trajectory of second-hand shoes – a sorting factory, the wholesale quarter, and a specialised market street – are examined as distinct sites for valuation that enable the renewed circulation of fripe shoes in the city. Investigating valuation and circulation with an explicit focus on urban space demonstrates how such processes not only transform fripe objects in circulation, but are also constitutive of socio-spatial relations: At times, valuation becomes manifest in urban form, or situated urban change; At other times, fripe shoe circulations generate linkages and interdependencies that tie seemingly bounded sites of valuation to diverse actors and spaces across the city. As inherently contested commodity form, second-hand shoes thus provide insight into the complex social and political negotiations that define commodity circulation as both contingent and productive urban process.

Assessment of Air Pollutants Using Time Series Models in Some Selected Locations of Bauchi Metropolis, Bauchi State, Nigeria.

Gaseous samples were collected from Nov.2019 – Feb. 2020 from three (3) sampling points designated New GRA (NGRA), Railway Market (RM), and Nasarawa Jahum Street (NJS), 2km – 4 km apart in Bauchi metropolis. Control samples were also collected from Alkaleri town about 62 kilometres away from the study area. Samplings were carried out in cold and dry seasons using the Gasman detectors to assess the pollutants under investigation. Out of the four criteria air pollutants analysed (CO2, CO, NO2, and SO2) Carbon (ii) oxide had the highest concentration 1.69 ppm (±0.02).While Carbon (iv) oxide had the lowest concentration 0.05 ppm (±0.01). However, CO2, and CO are within the permissible limits of FEPA (2001) and USEPA (2008), The results obtained were subjected to statistical analysis to test the strength of the relationship between the variables with Pearson or product – moment correlation and at 95% confidence level or p – value 0.05, a very strong linear correlation exist between these variables as r - value ranged from 0.985 – 0.988. Predictive Time-Series models were developed using Minitab computer – installed software, for the pollutants concentrations obtained from datasets collected from the sampling sites. Fitted Time-Series models were obtained and expressed as Y = a + b A— T (Linear Trend Model). The locations with high and low concentration levels of CO2 and CO are 0.289ppm and 0.408ppm NGRA, 0.289ppm and 0.510ppm RM and 0.425ppm and 4.930ppm Streets respectively were all found to be simple linear trend with time.

Impact of barriers on formation and development of urban transport network (case of South-West Moscow)

The article is devoted to the analysis of urban “highways-barriers” (on the example of the South-West of Moscow) – the largest highways and railways, which are characterized by a combination of a high level of contact and barrier functions. Three of their key functions are identified: limiting, stabilizing, function of unevenness and no equilibrium growth. The main transport hubs have been identified on the basis of which highway barriers are divided according to the degree of contact (barrier) into three categories. It is shown that, as a rule, the larger the spatial size of the highway-barrier, the larger its volume of traffic flow, however, there are many exceptions. In the South-West of Moscow, with a relatively even settlement, the placement of metro stations plays a key role in overcoming the barrier. On less significant highways, the role of metro stations in overcoming the barrier is especially great. In some areas, highways-barriers form barrier topological tiers. A key feature of the South-West of Moscow is the presence of two barrier tiers. Inside the first barrier tier there are objects that mark it as a special urban area. A characteristic part of the first tier is the approach to the periphery in the area where Leninsky Prospekt and Vernadsky Prospekt meet. The second barrier tier is quite small and in- cludes the area between the Cheremushkinskiy market and Profsoyuznaya street. The existing system of highways-barriers was formed by the time of registration in 1968–1970. South-West of Moscow as a whole and manifests itself at the present time.

When apps rule the road: The proliferation of navigation apps is causing traffic chaos. It's time to restore order

Miguel Street is a winding, narrow route through the Glen Park neighborhood of San Francisco. Until a few years ago, only those living along the road traveled it, and they understood its challenges well. Now it's packed with cars that use it as a shortcut from congested Mission Street to heavily traveled Market Street. Residents must struggle to get to their homes, and accidents are a daily occurrence. The problem began when smartphone apps like Waze, Apple Maps, and Google Maps came into widespread use, offering drivers real-time routing around traffic tie-ups. An estimated 1 billion drivers use such apps in the United States alone. Today, traffic jams are popping up unexpectedly in previously quiet neighborhoods around the country and the world. Along Adams Street, in the Boston neighborhood of Dorchester, residents complain of speeding vehicles at rush hour, many with drivers who stare down at their phones to determine their next maneuver. London shortcuts, once a secret of black-cab drivers, are now overrun with app users. Israel was one of the first to feel the pain because Waze was founded there; it quickly caused such havoc that a resident of the Herzliya Bet neighborhood sued the company.

“Lurched Forward and Stopped”: Last Stop on Market Street and Black Mobility

This article examines the racialized productions of space in Matt de la Pena and Christian Robinson’s 2015 picturebook Last Stop on Market Street, arguing that depictions of characters’ movements show how Black mobility constitutes a form of resistance to state circumscription. Language and illustrations both work to portray CJ and Nana’s environment as fundamentally flexible, often exceeding the confines of what appears to be possible. The geographies of their journey on a city bus privilege communication, alternative epistemologies, and the spatial transcendence of creativity over literalism. Yet, importantly, other realities also impact the way characters move; the carceral regulation of Black people within the United States inevitably shadows this book’s spatial optimism, and Nana’s loving surveillance and careful direction shape the outlines of CJ’s imagination. To move while Black, Market Street suggests, is to create new possibilities within the confines of limitations, the process of motion a continual and unsettled oscillation.

Possibilities for Creating Public Spaces in a Small Town: Case Study

Public spaces exist in each space which has been built. In the case of small European towns, they are usually strictly defined: and include market square, side squares and streets, which are often clearly connected with each other with regard to functions and composition. There are also municipal units, which have been created as a result of the development and expansion of residential developments located near important industrial plants (e.g. within the Central Industrial Region). These units were built in accordance with the modernist principle of a functional town in its original form and did not have traditionally defined public spaces. The article presents the history and possibilities of creating such spaces in a small industrial town based on an example of Nowa Dęba.

Love by M. de la Peña

de la Peña, Matt. Love. Illustrated by Loren Long, G.P. Penguin Random House, 2018.
 Newbery Medal-winning author of Last Stop on Market Street Matt de la Peña and New York Times bestselling illustrator Loren Long have teamed up to paint a touching picture of where love lives in each of our lives. Perfect for the child in your life or the child in you, this book ignites a warm feeling deep down inside. Love shines through in all our senses. Through poetic verses we are reminded of what love looks like, what love sounds like, what love tastes like, what love smells like, and what love feels like, physically and emotionally. Who cannot relate to the simple innocence of laughing as you run through the sprinkler on a hot summer's day?
 One much-needed two-page spread even highlights the importance of self-love. The gorgeous illustrations are comprised of a compilation of monotype prints, acrylic paint, and pencil. They perfectly complement the words that they accompany, even telling their own hidden stories along the way. It is clear to understand how the pictures connect to the words, the two parts work together to invoke emotions in the reader. The vocabulary and structure, like how the word love is used in a variety of manners and how each page offers a glimpse into different individuals’ lives, may be challenging for younger children to read on their own but with the right facilitation any child can find connections to this beautiful picture book.
 Highly Recommended: 4 out of 4 starsReviewer: Bretton Bowd

The true Spinoza of Market Street

ABSTRACTSpinoza is commonly viewed as a rationalist philosopher emphasising abstract metaphysical truth over concrete human emotions and relations. This view permeates Isaac Bashevis Singer’s ‘The Spinoza of Market Street’, which ridicules the intellectualism of Dr Nahum Fischelson, who had studied Spinoza’s Ethics ‘for the last thirty years’ and provocatively asked Spinoza’s forgiveness for becoming a fool after consummating his marriage. But is love a thing for fools? Is it accurate to view Spinoza’s philosophy in this way? Here I argue that Singer’s view of Spinoza is a misleading caricature, for it fails to appreciate Spinoza’s emphasis on emotional well-being, which clearly involves a recognition of love’s binding force. Spinoza’s perfectionist ethic not only allows for a life of love and emotional commitment, as in marriage, but it even goes further in showing us how noble love has the power to make us truly free. Ultimately, I argue that the true Spinoza of Market Street is not Dr Fischelson, but rather Black Dobbe, and that this reading rightly expresses the progressive nature of Spinoza’s ethics of love and view of freedom.
