TL;DR: An inclusive, mobile, and global understanding of the MaaS concept is needed to make it successful in different parts of the world, given that a vast disparity in infrastructure exists between cities.
Abstract: The debate about how Mobility as a Service (MaaS) will revolutionize individual and collective mobility is gaining increasing attention from researchers, industries, and public sectors. MaaS is expected to create a techno-utopia with a new organization and operation of transport systems where residents have equal access to instant and ubiquitous mobility services. However, transport service is an artifact that is highly dependent on the construction of urban infrastructure. The success of MaaS requires the support of urban infrastructure that we categorize as (1) transport-flow infrastructure, (2) information-flow infrastructure, and (3) computing-flow infrastructure. The connotation of urban infrastructure here includes not only conventional concepts, such as transportation infrastructure, but also intelligent transportation concepts, such as high-speed communication networks and autonomous fleets. Moreover, travel behavior data collected by city sensors, communication networks, and intelligent vehicles require appropriate infrastructures to dynamically compute for fleet dispatch and demand-supply match. Based on the degree of integration of these infrastructures, MaaS projects will have different results in varying cities. From concept to practice, given that a vast disparity in infrastructure exists between cities, we need an inclusive, mobile, and global understanding of the MaaS concept to make it successful in different parts of the world.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the case of cheshm "eye" in Persian, a body-part term that is predominantly associated with emotions, including love, envy, and greed, as well as character traits such as naivety or wilfulness.
Abstract: Translating body-part terms from one language to another presents a significant challenge due to the fact that such terms are usually associated with cultural conceptualisations, such as those of emotions and mental activities, which in many cases vary across languages. A literal translation of a body-part term from SL to TL, therefore, may alter the conceptual basis of the term, which may have significant semantic or pragmatic implications. This paper focuses on the case of cheshm ‘eye’ in Persian, a body-part term that is predominantly associated with emotions, including love, envy, and greed, as well as character traits such as naivety or wilfulness. The analysis of some Persian expressions that are associated with the body-part term ‘eye’ reveal significant differences with the connotation of ‘eye’ in English. For example, the conceptualisation of understanding is seeing, is not a dominant conceptualisation in everyday use of language by Persian speakers. There are, however, some words which do refer to the process of visual perception and which are mainly used in association with thinking. These expressions seem to be reminiscent of a historical cultural conceptualisation that can be traced back to the Pahlavi language, the major form of Middle Persian. The observations made in this paper call for a cultural-conceptual level of analysis, as a step in the general process of translating from one language to another.
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors defined urban wetlands as those kinds of natural and artificial wetlands that distribute in urban areas and compose the eco-environmental foundation of cities, and proposed a basic definition of urban wetlands science as the science which studies the distribution, type, function, evoluation and management.
Abstract: In this paper, the definition of urban wetlands was given based on analyses of the existence and connotation of urban wetlands. Urban wetlands are defined as those kinds of natural and artificial wetlands that distribute in urban areas and compose the ecoenvironmental foundation of cities. Chief directions and advances of urban wetlands studies at home and abroad were summarized, the differences of urban wetlands studies between China and other countries were analyzed, the main domains and existing problems of urban wetlands studies were pointed out, and the subject frame of urban wetlands science was constructed primarily. A basic definition of urban wetlands science was proposed in this paper as the science which studies the distribution, type, function, evoluation and management of urban wetlands. The studies would have positive significance to the development of wetland science.
