Intersecting Dynamics: Migration, State Control and Urban Expansion in Shenzhen’s Urban Villages

Abstract: This essay explores the dynamic interplay between migration, state control, and urban expansion in Shenzhen's urban villages. With Shenzhen's designation as a special economic zone in 1978, the city experienced unprecedented economic and demographic growth, primarily driven by rural-to-urban migration and facilitated by the government's reform policies. This influx has led to the proliferation of urban villages, which are informal housing areas that have developed due to rapid urbanization and the state's uneven regulatory oversight. These urban villages have become focal points of social and economic activity, housing diverse populations including migrant workers and local entrepreneurs. The essay argues that migration and state control are crucial in shaping the urban landscape of Shenzhen, influencing the development and characteristics of urban villages. Through a detailed examination of these areas, the essay highlights the complexities of urban expansion in the context of China's broader socio-economic transformations. Read More

On the Principle of Protection of Reliance Interests in Administrative Law

Abstract: Reliance on the principle of protection of interests first appeared in Germany, the German Administrative Procedure Act of 1976 established the principle as one of the basic principles of administrative law, and since then has undergone continuous development and improvement, and the development and improvement of the principle of protection of interests of the other civil law countries has had a far-reaching impact on the development and improvement of the principle of protection of interests of reliance. China's research on the principle of protection of reliance interests started late, the implementation of the administrative licensing law in 2004, article 8 and article 69 is the first time in China to the principle of clarity, which shows that the Chinese government is committed to transforming the functions of the government, in order to effectively protect the administrative relative of the legitimate interests of the trust. The concept of building a country based on the rule of law in China has put forward higher requirements for government integrity, and the administrative organ should ensure the continuity and stability of its administrative behaviour, guarantee the legitimate expectations of citizens, and maintain the stability of social order. The government's backtracking will cause incalculable damage to the government's credibility and integrity image. The application of the principle of protection of reliance interests in China is not only a necessary element in promoting the construction of a government of integrity in China, but also an important condition for the construction of a modern state of law.

Interpretation of the Norms of Criminal Jurisdiction Objects under the Hong Kong National Security Law

Abstract: The Hong Kong National Security Law specifies the specific targets of sanctions, and the legislative content of the law on criminal jurisdiction objects clarifies the scope of behaviors protected and prohibited by law. Chapter 3 of the Hong Kong National Security Law specifies four types of crimes that endanger national security, including the crimes of secession, subversion of state power, terrorist activities, and collusion with foreign or overseas forces to endanger national security.

A Big Data-based Approach to Web User Behavior Analysis

Abstract: In China, the Internet has developed to a relatively mature scale, and Internet applications have gradually transitioned from being singular to diversified. The Internet is changing people's ways of learning, working, and living, and even influencing the progress of the entire society. Against the backdrop of rapid Internet development, we have gradually entered the "big data era." Faced with such a vast amount of data, single-machine statistics have become inadequate. This paper first introduces the background and significance of the research, providing a preliminary description of network traffic from the perspective of network services. It then elaborates on the concepts and classifications of network user behavior, along with key data, mainly introducing analysis methods. The primary method used in this paper is cluster analysis, including distance and similarity coefficients in cluster analysis, with a focus on the main steps and algorithm process of k-means clustering. Finally, the paper conducts user behavior analysis based on the clustering results. Read More

Fundamental Causes and Recommendations for the Insufficient Effectiveness of China's 'Hierarchical Medical System' Policy Implementation

Abstract: This paper analyzes sections of China's official government documents regarding the "hierarchical medical system" policy and compares the implementation of China's policy with the hierarchical medical policies of the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS). Using the detailed "strengthening the foundation" section in the policy documents as a starting point, the study examines why the issue of "overcrowded major hospitals and underutilized primary healthcare institutions" remains unresolved despite the implementation of the hierarchical medical system policy. One fundamental reason identified is the low competency level of primary care physicians. To address the issue of underqualified primary care physicians, this paper centers on promoting the standardization of primary healthcare and proposes two policy-level recommendations. First, establish a nationwide, objective, and quantitative evaluation standard for the accreditation of primary care physicians, along with a corresponding training system, to standardize the basic diagnostic capabilities of primary healthcare personnel. Second, leverage the medical consortium system to expand career prospects and enhance the professional attractiveness of primary care physicians. Read More

“I Heard a Fly Buzz -- When I Died”: From Being-towards-Death to Existentialism

Abstract: Emily Dickinson’s “I Heard a Fly Buzz -- When I Died” is one of the more renowned poems within her oeuvre that addresses the theme of death.

Cross-cultural Art Curation and Urban Space Revitalization

Abstract: In the complex environment of globalization and digitalization in the 21st century, Bourriaud's "Relational Aesthetics" provides a theoretical basis for us, emphasizing that the value of works of art as a medium of social interaction lies in building relationships between audiences. Taking this as a starting point, the concept of generalized curation transcends the material boundaries of traditional curation. focus on the Lefebvre’s triadic concept of space production, which intergreate realities of landscapes and urban forms, and the conceptual, planned representation through designs. Additionally, it encompasses the symbolic dimensions that influence social identities toghther to illustrate the dynamic nature of spatial existence (Lefebvre, 2012, p81-84). These theoretical frameworks provide a solid theoretical basis for understanding how art curation promotes cross-cultural communication in the context of globalization and how it integrates with urban spatial revitalization. The parallel forum of "Broad Curation and Urban Public Art Power" under the theme of "Resonance · Breaking the waves" of the 2024 Hainan International Cultural and Creative Week, as a dialogue media platform that brings together global wisdom, provides a frontier exploration for the creative transformation of art curation concepts and urban public space. This paper aims to share the perception of the participants and explore the impact of the results of this forum on the field of news communication, especially the urban cultural narrative and public art communication strategy.
