A recent study published in National Science Review introduces an integrated ecological–social framework linking urban environments with subjective well-being (SWB) across 107 Chinese cities. Using millions of street view images and social media posts, the study shows urbanization reduces SWB disparities, with ecological factors boosting SWB among lower well-being groups and social–economic factors benefiting higher groups, highlighting pathways to healthier, more equitable cities.

Researchers present a data‑driven media monitoring system that turns newspaper content into early‑warning risk signals for anti‑money laundering (AML) supervision. Using entity- and theme-based keywords scored with BM25 and aggregated into weekly indicators, the system flags periods requiring analyst attention. Event analysis of eight ICIJ offshore leaks (2013–2021) shows timely detection for Belgian banks; robustness checks assess machine translation and a prompt‑based alternative.
