Gender Studies: A web-based analytics application for visualizing World Development Indicators

As countries start to develop, more attention on Social Economic factors begin to be discusses in greater detail. In fact, the discussion of Social Economics may be deemed as a privilege of Developed countries, as developing countries continue to battle more fundamental economic factors like Gross Domestic Product, Population Growth, Education and so on. Social Economics, as defined, is the study of social phenomenons that make up the society at large. These include topics of discussions, a few of which are listed below:

Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transsexual Rights Racial Discrimination Feminism and Women Equality Freedom Religious/Personal practice For our project, we would be focusing on Feminism and Women Equality. in line with the topic, there are many controversial topics of discussions. Such include the Gender Pay Gap, the Patriarchy, Abortion (Women's health care rights), etc, with the liberal impression that Women in developed countries are still suppressed into sub-leading roles, and that society is inherently "male" dominant. Our group hopes to dispel this theory with factual statistics, and as such, change the mindsets of women to "break" out of the "self-victimization" mentality, which has been recognized by groups of Conservative Physiologist as the stumbling block to Gender equality and progression.

Environmental Criminology: The Missing "W" in Whodunnit

Environmental Criminology, an approach first developed in the 1980s, involves the study of geospatial and contextual elements in relation to crime. These elements could involve aspects such as victim movement, and spatial-temporal patterns in the occurrence of crimes. Through the exploration of a crime record dataset provided by the Los Angeles Poice Department (LAPD), this project aims to provide a layman's view of criminology through the lens of geospatial-themed and statistical visual analytics.

Group 4: Show me the money

Ever wonder how far bitcoin value could go? Read on

Bitcoin has recently garnered mixed reviews from two extreme ends. From China banning bitcoin to Chicago Mercantile Exchange supporting the futures trading of bitcoin. And there are plenty more remarks from big investment banks as well as regulators. The value of bitcoin has rose more than 700% since the start of January 2017. If for any reason why people are excited or agitated about bitcoin, it has to do with its volatile value.


Looking up on the internet, there is hardly any reports that delve any further other than time series data of bitcoin price. It is very tempting to speculate that the price will continue to go up. If it does, by how much? If it doesn’t, how deep is the pit hole? How is the performance compared to other instruments? Any wise investor and information hungry scavengers alike would like to understand more of the recent price trend.


In this project, we will perform limited technical analysis, time series analysis and return analysis through the usage of R. There are various packages which proof useful when it comes to quick data crunching and visually beautiful presentation. The data what we will be using is per minute close price since 2009. Ie, many data points. There are volume information as well to accompany our analysis. Apart from price, we are also obtaining price information of index and other commonly traded commodities as a return comparison with bitcoin.


Lastly, we hope this report will provide a better compass to one who has the money and guts to take a bet on bitcoin-roller-coaster -ride or to by-standers (like ourselves) who observe from a far.

How civil aviation contributes to the “Belt and Road” initiative?

The Belt and Road (B&R) refers to the land-based "Silk Road Economic Belt" and the seagoing "21st Century Maritime Silk Road". The routes cover more than 60 countries and regions from Asia to Europe via Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, West Asia and the Middle East. The B&R countries currently accounting for around 31% of global GDP and more than 34% of the world's merchandise trade. Unveiled in 2013, the strategy underlines China's push to take a larger role in global affairs with a China-centered trading network. The Belt and Road initiative is set to reinvigorate the seamless flow of capital, goods and services between Asia and the rest of the world, by promoting further market integration and forging new ties among communities.


The main purpose of this project is to investigate the flight network between China and the “Belt and Road” countries to explore the economic connectivity and development potential. A visual exploration tool will be implemented using R shiny which can be used to easily explore and understand the flight network.

Group 6: How Is Beijing Today?

Use the air quality indicators to save us

On Nov 4th, Beijing Environmental Protection Agency released the news, owing to the adverse weather conditions and early winter heating as well as other factors, it is expected that there will be a continuous 4-day regional heavily polluted air quality in Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and surrounding areas on November 4th, in addition, the air quality in some cities may reach serious pollution level….


“Why is China’s smog so bad now?”, a lot of people from overseas want to explore. With the rapid development of economy in China, news from China is more frequently commented in the globe. China’s air pollution has been a serious issue for more than 10 years, with the problem appealing more attention worldwide, the Chinese government has make big efforts to solve it.


Beijing, one of the most serious polluted city, which is also the capital of China. Along with the escalation of air pollution, most people who are working and living in Beijing are faced with the tracheitis, pneumoconiosis, asthma, to name just a few. Gradually, a lot of people are terrified with living and working in Beijing.


In our project, we mean to apply the tools and better visualize the changes of air quality according its existing indicators. We will show the historical AQI, the pollutant concentrations and trend charts by pollutants, forecast the further air quality in the different view point in Beijing. We hope that we can try our best to show the weather condition in hand and assist people in keep them in good health.
