Urban Planning as an Extension of War Planning: The Case of Shenyang, China, 1898-1966
War-city relationships had long been studied by scholars regarding wars' sudden impact on cities. Studies typically focused on one specific event's impact on urban military, politics, economy, or society. This approach, however, treated war's impact on cities as only temporary, hindered opportunities to reveal multiple political regimes' spatial competition through war-oriented city planning and construction, which is crucial for city development, and their resultant urban form changes through time. In response, this study has examined city planning and construction activities during the short time gaps between multiple military conflicts, with various military objectives, and conducted by different political regimes in Shenyang, China. In accordance with archival research, a space syntax axis analysis has been used to quantify spatial dynamics throughout war-peace-war cycles to explore the impact of military-oriented planning on city-scaled development. We have found these planning strategies, initiated by specific military goals, acted as extensions of war planning, segregating the city and causing urban fragmentation. They also acted as a driving factor which promoted modernization of the city in the early 20th century. We conclude that wars oriented planning can alter a city's development track and impact its structure and form through the creation of internally connected but isolated urban districts.

Few studies have investigated the impact of landscapes on humans' mental status while they are moving at high speeds, such as driving on the freeway. This study used a simulation system to measure drivers' mental responses to six different freeway landscapes. Each of the 33 participants completed six different 90-minute simulated driving tasks in a randomly assigned sequence. The six landscape conditions consisted of an identical freeway infrastructure, with different roadside landscapes. Results show significant differences between landscape conditions and drivers' mental responses. Landscape conditions with greater greenness, in general, had a greater positive impact on drivers' mental status. The barren and tree regular landscapes yielded the worst and best results, respectively. Further, higher complexity was associated with a higher level of negative mental status. We argue that the speed of human's active movement should be considered as an essential factor in the Attention Restoration Theory and Stress Reduction Theory.

Utilization pattern of Haemophilus influenza type b vaccine in eight provinces of China
Objective: In China, Hib vaccine is a private-sector vaccine that is an option for parents to select to give to their children; it must be paid for out-of-pocket because it is not included in the government's Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI). We evaluated utilization patterns of Hib vaccine to provide evidence in support of development of a national Hib vaccination strategy. Methods: We obtained lists of children from immunization information systems (IIS) of counties or districts in 8 provinces of China. Using these lists, we selected 10 children at random from each birth cohort from 2008 through 2012. We obtained Hib vaccination dates from official vaccination certificates. The target sample size was 1,000 children. Results: We were able to obtain records for 978 subjects of the selected subjects; of these, 44.79% had received at least 1 dose of Hib vaccine, and 15.54%, 5.83%, 12.27%, and 11.15% had received one, two, three, and four doses, respectively. Per capita GDP was positively correlated with receipt of at least one dose of Hib vaccine. Among the 438 subjects who received Hib vaccine, 27% received 1 dose after 12 months of age; 15%, 7%, and 23% received one of three other patterns of Hib vaccination recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) [a 3-dose primary series; 2 primary series doses and 1 booster; or 3 primary series doses and 1 booster]. The other 28% of subjects received patterns of Hib vaccination not recommended by WHO. Considering protection from Hib disease as receipt of a WHO-recommended Hib vaccine schedule, 29% of subjects could be considered protected after 12 months of age, 52% could be considered protected during infancy and beyond, and 19% could be considered to not have been protected adequately, despite being vaccinated. Conclusions: Coverage with Hib vaccine was low. There were significant differences between WHO recommendations and actual patterns of use of Hib vaccine, with half of vaccine recipients receiving no protection during infancy and one fifth receiving ...
