However, existing studies have paid little attention to cross-city travel in the bike-sharing context, or to its potential to reveal the spatial structure of cities. This paper considers two types of cross-city travel behaviour: the first involves a traveller taking a single trip from one city to another (<i>Type I</i>); and the second refers to a traveller making two consecutive trips in two cities, suggesting that a cross-city trip between these two cities has occurred (<i>Type II</i>). Using dockless bike-sharing big data from Zhejiang Province (China), we adopt a network-based approach to examining cross-city travel behaviour and its associated spatial structure. Our results show that it is less common for cyclists to undertake cross-city travel than to only travel within a single city, and that it is more difficult to travel across prefecture-level cities in comparison to county-level cities. Spatial structure varies greatly between different city levels and for different types of cross-city journeys. The county-level cross-city patterns identified 10 spatial communities, some of which show inconsistencies between their community-based and administrative boundaries. This study could help to advance our understanding of the characteristics of cross-city travel behaviour and its associated spatial structure. It also provides some useful implications for policy-making and practical operations.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46392,"journal":{"name":"Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy","volume":"18 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143883589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two blue finance transactions are the 2016 Debt for Nature Swap facilitated by The Nature Conservancy, and the 2018 Seychelles Blue Bond facilitated by The World Bank. These initiatives are widely considered to fund activities that improve oceanic health and develop the nation’s “blue economy.” Specifically, these transactions fund a marine spatial planning process that culminates in establishing sizeable marine protected areas. Substantial and broad claims have been made in the media and in published academic research for the effectiveness of these financial innovations. We found that sovereign debt was not reduced by these transactions and has not diminished since. The ‘debt for nature swap’ did not secure environmental protections beyond commitments already made by the Seychelles Government prior to the swap with the exception of some minor changes in artisanal fisheries regulations, but did fund a planning process for their implementation. The significant no-take area for industrial fishing will simply lead to relocation of fishing effort. The characterizations of these blue finance transactions in media and in published academic research differ significantly from their reality. SIDS that are struggling with high public debt loads should be aware that these transactions will increase public indebtedness to fund activities and structures that reduce sovereign control of oceanic resources through shared governance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48427,"journal":{"name":"Marine Policy","volume":"179 ","pages":"Article 106717"},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143882431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing on fieldwork conducted in the departments of Itapúa and southern Alto Paraná in 2021 and 2022, this paper adopts an agrarian political economy perspective to argue that cooperatives in Paraguay serve as a stabilizing force by buffering against farming risk and mitigating the rise of reproduction costs. This dynamic allows for the differential incorporation of medium and some small-scale farmers, while contributing to the consolidation of the hegemonic export-oriented agri-food system, with all its associated implications. The article also contextualizes the analysis of contemporary cooperatives by providing a historical overview of the uneven development and concomitant regional variations in Paraguay’s soybean agriculture, and engages with broader historical debates on the potential of cooperative organizations in a capitalist context.","PeriodicalId":47390,"journal":{"name":"Latin American Perspectives","volume":"72 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the economic and ecosystem services benefits of low-impact development (LID) facilities in cities remain unclear. This study classified sponge city facilities as distinct subsectors within an input-output framework and develops a partial closure model to assess their economic and ecological impacts during construction and operation phases. Additionally, an ecological satellite account for carbon sinks, SS removal and water conservation is compiled to quantify the economic value of ecosystem services. Using Xining City's sponge city project as a case study, the findings reveal that the primary sector benefits most from water conservation (34.58 %), while government consumption (58.9 %) is the largest indirect beneficiary of suspended substance (SS) removal and carbon sequestration, reflecting the public good nature of environmental benefits. Sponge city construction stimulates economic activity, with total inputs exceeding four times the direct investment, driving growth in hidden sectors such as food processing, finance, and energy distribution. Additionally, the carbon sequestration from sponge city facilities offsets construction-related emissions within 4.07 years, though only 41.78 % of maintenance-phase emissions are balanced by carbon sinks, emphasizing the need for long-term sustainability measures. These results highlight sponge cities' unique role in economic restructuring, distinguishing them from traditional infrastructure.

In this study, content analysis revealed that the recently implemented private standards are more transparent, reliable, and ambitious than previous standards and interviews revealed the key drivers for this improvement. Interviews revealed the drivers for improvement include customer or stakeholder value chain pressure to be more environmental-friendly and the need for a shared reporting methodology. The involvement of neutral facilitators, diverse range of stakeholders, academic actors and science helped to improve the ambition and coverage of the private standards. The IMO’s GHG strategies have also been a catalyst for private sector action albeit at a collective level through private standards. However, a critical evaluation of these standards shows that there remain significant shortcomings and challenges in most of the standards across all three criteria.

Analyzing 13,731 Twitter mentions of accounts being hacked, using topic modeling and classifying the gender of 12,586 users, we showed that women reported more experiences of being hacked across all types of online services except gaming. Women were more likely to experience negative consequences of being hacked, including reputational harm, money loss, and having personalized content modified. Gender differences were also found in coping strategies. Men were more likely to use active strategies like warning others, rebuilding accounts, and deducing hackers’ origins, while women were more likely to seek help from others to recover or report experiencing hacked accounts. The findings of this study imply the need for further research into the gendered experiences of being hacked from the third-level digital divide perspective, alongside the development of interventions to mitigate harm and empower users with diverse needs to cope with being hacked.","PeriodicalId":49509,"journal":{"name":"Social Science Computer Review","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143889529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
