From Hype to Hope: Analyzing Development’s Role in Social Transformation
Abstract: This paper aims to critically examine the transformative potential of development initiatives in fostering social change. While development is often hailed as a panacea for societal challenges, this study seeks to disentangle hype from the hope by assessing its real impact on social transformation. To achieve this, a systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted, analyzing a comprehensive range of peer-reviewed articles, reports, and case studies published over the last two …

Advanced Lithium-Ion Battery Prognostics: A Comprehensive Review of Machine Learning Approaches for Remaining Useful Life Prediction
Abstract: The lithium-ion battery (LIB), as one of the main sources for portable power systems, has been increasingly popular owing to its widespread applications in electric vehicles, consumer electronics, aerospace and renewable energy. Despite their advantages in high energy density and long cycle life, LIBs suffer from degradation over time of aging and cycling, resulting in loss of performance, safety issues, and economic bottlenecks. Predicting their Remaining Useful Life (RUL) is …

From Rural to Urban: Understanding Taobao Villages to Redress Planetary Urbanisation
Abstract: This study examines Taobao Villages as an innovative model of urbanisation under China’s planetary urbanisation framework. These rural communities, driven by the rise of e-commerce and digital infrastructure, have successfully integrated into the broader urban ecosystem by reconfiguring their historical socio-spatial legacies. Through Lefebvre’s spatial triad framework, the research identifies three key historical legacies that underpin this transformation: (1) Collective Production Practices: Rooted in socialist collectivisation, these legacies include organisational …

Identification and Evaluation of Safety Factors in Construction Industry Using Fuzzy Reasoning Technique
Abstract: Modern construction projects, characterized by their complexity and uniqueness, are inherently susceptible to various risks. These risks represent uncertain events that may arise during the project's life cycle, potentially influencing its objectives either positively or negatively. Positive risks are referred to as opportunities, while negative risks are identified as threats. To effectively harness these opportunities and mitigate threats, the implementation of Risk Management is essential. A novel theoretical framework known …
