<p>As a result of rapid economic growth and urbanization, a huge amount of tall buildings have been constructed in Mainland China in the recent two decades. Tall buildings are the symbols of our industrialized societies and provide us more living and working spaces in the limited land. They have become one of the most important infrastructures in the renewal of our urban environment as well as the creation of new urban area throughout the world. However, tall buildings suffered serious damages during the past earthquakes. Some research and practice work of seismic performance and response control of tall buildings in Mainland China in recent years are introduced here, including the general methodologies for performance-based seismic design of tall buildings, shaking table model tests on complex tall buildings to evaluate the seismic performance of structures and accordingly revise the structural design, and a new type of earthquake resilient shear wall structure with replaceable coupling beams and replaceable foot parts.</p>

The growth and popularity of Web 2.0 applications help people to build and maintain their social networks online and further encourage social network-facilitated team collaboration. In this study, we conceptualized the use of Instant messaging in social network-facilitated team collaboration as an Intentional social action and further Investigated the effect of gender differences In the development of we-intention (I. e. collective intention) to engage In such collaboration. A research model was developed and empirically tested with 482 university students In Mainland China. The results demonstrated that the effects of attitude, positive anticipated emotions, and group norms on we-intention were more Important for men, whereas the effects of social Identity and negative anticipated emotions were more significant for women to collectively participate In social network-facilitated team collaboration. We believe the Implications of this study would shed considerable light on both research and practice.

Research on social work practice is essential for developing an indigenized base of knowledge. In China, while social work education has grown rapidly, much of what is taught – and many social work priorities in research and practice – is influenced by rapidly changing national government policies. This policy environment creates both opportunities and challenges to building an infrastructure to support research on social work practice. This article reviews the context and challenges related to developing research on social work practice in mainland China, and the important role for social work education to support this development.
