II ABSTRACT ger Unter dem Deckmantel der Globalisierung stärken Projekte wie die ‚Belt and Road Initiative‘ transnationale Verbindungen und rücken dadurch Kontinente und Städte näher zusammen. Die Vernetzung zwischen Europa und China hat bereits vor 100 Jahren einen ersten Höhepunkt erreicht und ist jetzt, wenngleich eingebettet in unterschiedlichen Rahmenbedingungen und trotz zwischenzeitlicher Unterbrechung, intensiver als je zuvor. Der globale Trend der Urbanisierung betrifft sowohl Shanghai als auch Wien. Das städtische Wachstum bildet die Grundlage für Herausforderungen, die sowohl Umwelt als auch Menschen tangieren. Darauf aufbauend, entwickeln sich stetig und unter wechselseitigem Einfluss, soziokulturelle Dynamiken und in weiterer Folge Strategien, die nicht zuletzt Veränderungen der urbanen Struktur mit sich bringen und sich in sozialer und physischer Hinsicht manifestieren. Ein spezifischer Gebäudetyp, der in diesem Zusammenhang offensichtlich Städte weltweit erobert hat und dem außerdem das Potential hoher Effizienz zugesprochen wird, ist das Hochhaus.

    A pig is any of the animals in the genus Sus, within the Suidae family of even-toed ungulates. Pigs include the domestic pig and its ancestor, the common Eurasian wild boar (Sus scrofa), along with other species; related creatures outside the genus include the babirusa and the warthog. Pigs, like all suids, are native to the Eurasian [1] and African continents. Juvenile pigs are known as piglets. Pigs are omnivores and are highly social and intelligent animals. The domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) is usually given the scientific name Sus scrofa, although some authors call it S. domesticus, reserving S. scrofa for the wild boar. It was domesticated approximately 5,000 to 7,000 years ago. Their coats are coarse and bristly. They are born brownish coloured and tend to turn more grayish coloured with age. The upper canines form sharp distinctive tusks that curve outward and upward. Compared to other artiodactyles, their head is relatively long, pointed, and free of warts. Their head and body length ranges from 0.9 to 1.8 m (35 to 71 in) and they can weigh between 50 and 350 kg (110 and 770 lb). Ascaris is a genus of parasitic nematode worms known as the "Small intestinal roundworms". One species, A. suum, typically infects pigs, while another, A. lumbricoides, affects humans, typically people living in sub-tropical and tropical areas with poor sanitation. Their eggs are deposited in feces and soil. Plants with the eggs on them [1] will infect any organism that consumes them. A. lumbricoides is the largest intestinal roundworm and is the most common helminth infection of humans worldwide, a disease known as ascariasis.
