Does Forest City Construction Improve County-Level Air Quality? Evidence from China’s National Forest City Policy

Jue Wang, Zhicheng Zhou, Haoyan Qu, Hao He, Jian Sun

Urban forest policies are increasingly used as nature-based solutions, but their large-scale effects on ambient air quality remain uncertain. This study evaluates China’s National Forest City Construction Policy (NFCC) using a panel of 2076 counties from 2001 to 2021 and a staggered difference-in-differences (DID) design. Annual mean PM2.5 concentration is used as the main outcome. In the preferred specification with county and year fixed effects, NFCC exposure is associated with a reduction of approximately 1.39 μ …

Australia’s Public Country-by-Country Reporting Regime: Rationale and Regulatory Design

Kerrie Sadiq

This article examines Australia’s public country-by-country reporting regime through three rationales for public tax disclosure: market-based accountability, direct regulatory accountability and a procedural public entitlement to know. It argues that Australia’s hybrid design combines inconsistent features, creating risks of symbolic compliance, misinterpretation, uneven burdens and regulatory drift.

Capturing the classroom: disinformation as discursive reconstruction of education in Orbán’s Hungary

Zea Szebeni

Introduction: Debates on educational disinformation typically target false content in curricula or online. This study reconceptualizes the phenomenon as the discursive reconstruction of education’s purpose, the strategic redefinition of its values and social functions that becomes naturalized as common sense. Existing scholarship documents Hungary’s institutional capture but neglects the discursive mechanisms transforming political rhetoric into educational meaning. The study asks how Viktor Orbán’s speeches constr …

A heterogeneous population co-evolutionary algorithm for sparse large-scale multi-objective optimization problems

Chao Wang, Tianyu Liu, Guangyin Yang

Abstract Sparse large-scale multi-objective optimization problems (sparse LSMOPs) are highly challenging due to the curse of dimensionality and the inherent sparsity of Pareto optimal solutions. Although co-evolutionary algorithms demonstrate significant potential, existing methods are frequently constrained by static resource allocation and undifferentiated variable grouping strategies. These limitations induce a severe mismatch between computational budgets and evolutionary states, making it difficult to effectiv …
