On the Modern Literary Origins of American Fantasy
Get PDFAmerican fantasy, a genre of popular fiction born in the early 20th century, initially emerged under the impact of British fantasy. It continuously expanded its writing boundaries and forms of expression through the convergence with American popular culture and popular art, ultimately forming a more diverse and comprehensive system of fantasy with American national characteristics. In the process of the emergence and development of American fantasy, modern novels of different genres and countries exerted the most direct influence on American fantasy writers, and had a profound impact on the final shaping and prosperity of modern American fantasy
Research on the Collaborative Integration of Science and Education to Enhance the Innovation Ability Training Model for Undergraduate Students in Traditional Chinese Medicine
Get PDFThe cultivation of innovative awareness and practical competence among undergraduate students has become a central theme in higher education reform worldwide. Within the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the integration of scientific research and education is particularly significant, as it not only preserves traditional medical knowledge but also equips students with the skills to address contemporary healthcare challenges. This study explores the developmental trajectory, current status, and future prospects of innovation-oriented education in TCM undergraduate programs, with a focus on the collaborative model of “integration of science and education.” Through literature review, policy analysis, and case study of ongoing initiatives, the paper identifies major challenges such as narrow curriculum design, insufficient research engagement, limited exposure to interdisciplinary learning, and weak support mechanisms. To address these issues, a framework driven by research projects is proposed, emphasizing multi-level integration of teaching, research, and practice. The study also highlights the necessity of robust support systems, including funding guarantees, faculty development, infrastructure, and evaluation mechanisms. Findings suggest that project-driven participation in research activities significantly enhances students’ ability to think critically, solve problems, and translate knowledge into practice. The paper concludes that building a sustainable and systematic innovation training model is essential for strengthening the competitiveness of TCM education and for cultivating a new generation of practitioners and researchers capable of bridging tradition with modern science

Get PDFA Rose for Emily is a representative short story written by William Faulkner, which tells the tragic life of Emily Grierson, an aristocratic woman in a small town during the decline of the American South. This study applies Peter Newmark’s theories of semantic and communicative translation to analyze the translation strategies employed in Yang Qishen’s version 《献给爱米丽的一朵玫瑰花》, with further discussion on optimizing specific translations. This study aims to analyze the translation strategies and artistic characteristics of this Chinese version, to provide references for the localization of other Western literary classics
The Response of the Codification of the Eco-Environmental Code to the “Mainstreaming of Biodiversity” Objective in the GBF
Get PDFThe subsequent international negotiations of the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework are approaching. China’s ecological civilization construction is advancing vigorously, and the draft of the Ecological Environment Code has been formulated for public consultation. Against the backdrop of these critical historical milestones, both domestic and international processes resonate with the priority area of “biodiversity mainstreaming” outlined in the National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan (2023-2030). The content of this priority area mainly involves two major directions: establishing a legal and regulatory system related to biodiversity, and drafting regulations on access and benefit-sharing of biological genetic resources. To meet the localized objective of “biodiversity mainstreaming,” the Ecological Environment Code, which is philosophically grounded in “harmonious coexistence between humans and nature,” must also respond to issues related to this priority area. This includes formulating rules on benefit-sharing of digital sequence information on genetic resources and establishing a “biodiversity credit market mechanism.” Such measures will not only promote the integrated development of ecological civilization construction and biodiversity conservation in China but also help shape the international discourse on China’s concept of “ecological civilization.

Get PDFWith the quick development of China, the number of foreign students in China has soared. Teaching Chinese as a second language for foreigners with different backgrounds includes language knowledge, the individual cross-cultural adaptation the Chinese culture spread. Chinese characters is the key point in Chinese language learning for foreign students. The charming of Chinese culture is reflected and transmitted by Chinese characters which can help foreign students understand Chinese culture better. By sorting out the theories on Chinese cultural course and acculturation with the perspective of Chinese characters teaching, exploring the corresponding research paths, this paper proposes a reference for the research on conducting cultural course through the way of teaching Chinese characters for foreign students acculturation
The Impact of Digital Financial Inclusion Development on Rural Residents' Income in Zhejiang Province
Get PDFThis paper empirically analyzes the impact of digital inclusive finance on rural residents' income in Zhejiang Province with 2010-2020 as the target interval and based on the data of each prefecture-level city in Zhejiang Province. Heterogeneity test and robustness test were carried out after the completion of empirical evidence, and finally both passed the test. From the results, it can be seen that digital inclusive finance in Zhejiang Province can significantly promote the growth of rural residents' income. The test results show that the strength of the impact of digital inclusive finance on rural residents' income varies in different prefecture-level cities. The effect of financial inclusion index on the growth of rural residents' income is more obvious in northeast Zhejiang than in southwest Zhejiang. It is still significant even if the core explanatory variables are replaced during the robustness test. It indicates that when the government improves the level of digital financial inclusion, it should not only improve the overall level of digital financial inclusion, but also focus on increasing the digital financial inclusion investment in backward areas can also reduce the income differences and narrow the regional development gap, which will help to achieve the goal of common prosperity
Research on the Application of Blockchain Technology in Green Supply Chain Operations
Get PDFIn the context of achieving the goals of carbon peak and carbon neutrality, green supply chain management has evolved into an inevitable direction for industry development. However, in practical operations, the problem of information asymmetry continues to restrict the overall efficiency of the green supply chain, hinders the collaborative operations among upstream and downstream enterprises, and weakens consumers' confidence in the reliability of the source of green products. This has led to multiple dilemmas. Blockchain technology, with its decentralized architecture, tamper-proof data security, and efficient traceability capabilities, is opening up new paths to solve the key obstacles in green supply chain management and holds great development potential. Although the combination of the two has broad prospects, the current collaborative mechanism between blockchain and green supply chain still requires systematic research. The core challenge lies in how to significantly optimize the operational efficiency of the green supply chain through blockchain and build a policy environment that positively encourages enterprises to implement green production. This issue has entered the vision of government decision-makers; at the same time, enterprises need to deeply analyze how to promote green innovation through market competition pressure to consolidate market competitiveness; moreover, the introduction of blockchain will increase the cost pressure on the green supply chain, which may become a constraint for enterprises with limited capital strength. The exploration in this field will directly affect the effectiveness of green supply chain management practices. This paper systematically studies the collaborative mechanism between blockchain technology and green supply chain, as well as the dual-chain integration path, in combination with policy support, market competition, and core enterprise capabilities, aiming to promote their deep integration and innovation
Research on the Efficiency and Potential of China's Textile Export Trade to ASEAN Countries
Get PDFBased on the time-varying stochastic frontier gravity model, calculate the efficiency, potential, and expansion space of China's textile export trade to ASEAN countries from 2010 to 2023. The research results indicate that among the non efficiency items of trade, ASEAN's foreign trade dependence, exchange rate, and trade freedom have a significant positive impact on trade; Monetary freedom and political stability have a significant negative impact. There are differences in China's export efficiency to different countries, with high export efficiency to Cambodia and Singapore, while relatively low export efficiency to countries such as Laos, Thailand, and Brunei. From the perspective of expanding trade space, the future should focus on strengthening the development of markets such as Brunei, Indonesia, Laos, and the Philippines. To this end, it is necessary to fully unleash China's trade potential with relevant countries through measures such as deepening infrastructure construction and enhancing bilateral and multilateral openness
An Integrated Framework of Competition in Consumer Markets A Synthesis of Patterns of Competitive Dynamics in 24 U.S. Markets
Get PDFThe objective of this paper is three-fold. One is to evaluate the results of Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA) of 24 consumer markets, and learn about the picture of competitive dynamics revealed by this review.Second--and most importantly--is to propose an integrated framework of competition in consumer markets. Third, the important lessons--and valuable insights--we can learn from this extensive research.The path to market share leadership does not lie in lower price founded in cost leadership strategy, as Michael Porter suggests. Rather, it is based on the premise that it is customer-perceived quality that is crucial to long-term competitive position and profitability. So, the answer to market share leadership for a business is to differentiate itself by offering quality better than that of the nearest competition. The best route to market share leadership lies in serving the middle class by competing in the mid-price segment. This is the socio-economic segment that represents about 40% of households in America.The 24 U.S. consumer markets have been divided into six groups.Employing Hierarchical Cluster Analysis (HCA), we have tested two hypotheses for each market:Hypothesis I: That the market leader was going to be a member of the mid-price segment.Hypothesis II: That the unit price of the market leader was going to be higher than that of the nearest competition.Results in fourteen markets supported Hypothesis I: a 58% success rate that is surely remarkable.Results in eleven markets supported Hypothesis II.Next, we present the philosophical foundation of a business: That there is only one valid definition of business purpose: To create a customer.That the concept of a customer can be both a philosophy and a practical guide. Next, we present an integrated framework of competition in consumer markets.Because its purpose is to create a customer, a business has only two entrepreneurial functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing is the first entrepreneurial function. It is a concern that must permeate all of an enterprise. It is the lens through which one can see the whole business from the customer’s point of view.Innovation is the second entrepreneurial function. Like marketing, innovation, too, cuts across the entire business.We have learnt three important lessons from this extensive research:It is at the Brand level where real competition takes place, and where the rich dynamics of competition reveal themselves.A deep understanding of customers should be the primary mission of a businessThe importance of Brand EquityWe have gained two valuable insights from this major endeavorCoffee prices on the world market are lower than the cost of production.Industrialization of American food has led to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and cance
Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Awareness in Lebanon among the Young, Highly Educated Population
Get PDFThe number of individuals diagnosed with colorectal cancer (CRC) is rising, coinciding with increased efforts to raise awareness about preventive healthcare. Awareness of CRC is crucial for early detection and higher survival rates. Although progress has been made globally, significant disparities still exist, especially in low- and middle-income regions like the Arab world. Lebanon's increasing CRC rates demand urgent, targeted actions to raise awareness, promote screening, and ultimately decrease mortality. This study involved 1,229 volunteers. The questionnaire consisted of two parts: the first assessed participants' willingness to undergo early screening and their knowledge of CRC signs, symptoms, and risk factors (including colonoscopy and FIT tests). The second gathered socio-demographic information such as age, gender, education level, living area, and marital status. Data analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS software, version 26.0. Results showed that among those with a university education, 50.6% had never been screened, 13.7% had performed fecal testing, 16.4% had colonoscopies, and 19.3% had undergone both procedures. These figures are lower than the global rates of 38.4% for colonoscopies and 27.0% for fecal testing. Moreover, only 53.2% of respondents who were aware of CRC believed that risk could be reduced. Alarmingly, among highly educated individuals, 45.7% shared the negative attitude found in less educated groups. The findings suggest that effective CRC awareness campaigns should be incorporated into educational curricula, and CRC screening awareness initiatives should be made mandatory in schools. Healthcare providers should be encouraged to recommend FIT as a primary screening method, especially for asymptomatic individuals aged 45 and older or those at moderate risk. Community health centers, NGOs, and the Ministry of Public Health play vital roles in distributing FIT kits, especially in underserved or rural areas
