The spatiotemporal evolution and spatial effect of digitalization on urban land intensive use in the Yangtze River Economic Belt
Land is essential for urban development. Increasing land use intensity can help with land shortage, and digitalization has become a new driving force for the development of society. This study uses panel data from 110 cities from 2011 to 2020 in the Yangtze River Economic Belt to empirically verify the impact of digitalization on urban land intensive use (ULIU). Based on analyzing the spatiotemporal evolution of urban digitalization and ULIU, the…
The Construction Level of Health Literate Health Organizations and Its Impact on Patients’ Health Literacy
This study aims to develop a scale for patient evaluation of health literate health care organizations (PEHLHO) tailored to the Chinese context, addressing deficiencies in existing tools. It also examines the relationships between PEHLHO, communicative health literacy (CHL), and enhancement of perceived health literacy (EPHL) in major Chinese cities. This includes their correlation with perceived service quality (PSQ) and perceived a community wi…

Academic engagement is a key factor in students’ academic success, yet its psychological pathways remain underexplored in the context of physical activity. This study investigated the relationship between sports participati... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on Tech Science Press
Nonnegligible Literary/Cultural Differences Beside Literary/Cultural Universals
I much admire Patrick Hogan’s work, marked by broad and interdisciplinary horizons, insightful exploration, psychological focus, emotional emphasis, and prolific publications. The outline of his academic autobiography in the target essay sheds light not only on his concern with literary and cultural universals but also on his research characteristics as such. Patrick’s target essay is thought-provoking, dialectic, and well-balanced, arguing for t…
A repeated cross-sectional pilot study of the relationship between perceived a community with shared future for doctor-patient and benefit finding
The public's health self-consciousness, benefit finding, and anxiety decreased, while PCSF increased in the low epidemic level stage. Furthermore, PCSF had a greater impact on benefit finding, and anxiety's impact on health self-consciousness was significantly reduced. Across different stages of COVID-19, PCSF directly increased benefit finding and also enhanced benefit finding by improving health self-consciousness. Thus, comprehensive intervent…
Single prolonged stress induces behavior and transcriptomic changes in the medial prefrontal cortex to increase susceptibility to anxiety-like behavior in rats
Our findings suggest that SPS activates distinct transcriptional and molecular pathways in PL and IL cortices of mPFC, enabling differential coping mechanisms in response to the effects of traumatic stress. The enhanced enrichment of identified KEGG pathways in the PL and IL mPFC may underlie the anxiety-like behavior observed in susceptible rats
Stylistics, Narratology, and Point of View
Both stylistics and narratology pay much attention to point of view. This article discusses, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and tries to clear up the various kinds of confusion involved. It argues that the different concerns of stylistics and narratology result in two partial pictures that are very much complementary to each other. Both partiality and complementarity call for a redefinitio…
MicroRNA expression profiles of stress susceptibility and resilience in the prelimbic and infralimbic cortex of rats after single prolonged stress
The experience of traumatic stress can engender lasting memories associated with the trauma, often resulting in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, only a minority of individuals develop PTSD symptoms upon exposure. The neurobiological mechanisms underlying the pathology of PTSD are poorly understood. Utilizing a rat model of PTSD, the Single Prolonged Stress (SPS) paradigm, we were able to differentiate between resilient and suscepti…
A forced cough sound based pulmonary function assessment method by using machine learning
Pulmonary function testing (PFT) has important clinical value for the early detection of lung diseases, assessment of the disease severity, causes identification of dyspnea, and monitoring of critical patients. However, traditional PFT can only be carried out in a hospital environment, and it is challenging to meet the needs for daily and frequent evaluation of chronic respiratory diseases. In this study, we propose a novel method for accurately …
Community Environment and Attitudes Toward Retirement Among Chinese Older Adults
This study explored the effects of community environment on older adults’ attitudes toward retirement based on a sample survey of 1,979 retired workers in a suburban district of Beijing, China. After controlling for demographic characteristics, it is found that older people’s satisfaction with the community environment has a positive and direct effect on their retirement attitudes; community participation plays a mediating role in the relationshi…
One Focalization, Dual Progression, and Twofold Irony
Despite extensive theoretical and critical attention paid to focalization, no effort has been made to discuss how one mode of focalization simultaneously helps convey two contrastive kinds of irony. This is ascribable to three factors. First, such a phenomenon is not often seen. Second, if it occurs, it would take place at once in relation to the overt progression and to a covert progression, but critical attention has not extended to the latter.…
Naturalistic Covert Progression Behind Complicated Plot
Naturalistic Covert Progression Behind Complicated Plot:Chopin's "A Pair of Silk Stockings" Dan Shen (bio) In interpreting a literary work, we usually investigate what thematic message is conveyed by textual choices in the plot-based narrative progression (which may have different branches or layers). But in many fictional narratives, there exists what I have designated a "covert progression," a hidden narrative movement that constitutes a separa…

Covert Progression Behind Plot Development
In many fictional narratives, especially shorter ones, the plot exists in tension with a very different and powerful dynamic that runs at a deeper and hidden level throughout the text. I designate this undercurrent as “covert progression” and investigate how the implied author creates it for thematic purposes. Being characteristically ironic in nature, covert progression is first distinguished from known types of irony, then from other types of c…
Overall-Extended Close Reading” and Subtexts of Short Stories
To meet the challenge of how to make full use of the advantages of close reading while avoiding its earlier limitations, this essay proposes the method of “ overall-extended close reading”, which may effectively help reveal the subtexts of short stories. An “overall” consideration of the interaction among the local details in different parts of the text may enable us to see a hidden large meaning-structure, which in turn may shed new light on the…
Intratextuality, Extratextuality, Intertextuality
This essay attempts to define unreliability in autobiography and explore its major forms and features in relation to unreliability in fiction. It starts with the construction of a narratological framework for autobiography, especially in terms of the narrative communicative situation. Then it goes on to discuss two contrasting approaches to fictional unreliability, the rhetorical and the cognitivist or constructivist. The rhetorical approach deal…
Western Literary Theories in China
The recent history of comparative literature in China is closely linked with the appropriation of Western theory by Chinese scholars. In the following we would like to relate some aspects of that history – which very much mirrors the fraught history of China’s relationship with the West – and survey some of the related developments in literary theory and criticism, bearing in mind that one of the problems still facing the introduction of Western …

Why Contextual and Formal Narratologies Need Each Other
Why Contextual and Formal Narratologies Need Each Other Dan Shen (bio) Although the situation varies in different countries or with different perspectives (Rimmon-Kenan 134–35), many recent accounts of the development of narratology tell stories of evolution, either from structuralist narratology to poststructuralist narratology (Currie; Onega and Landa), or from classical narratology to postclassical narratology (Herman "Introduction"), or from …
Factors Influencing the Process of Translating
Translation is a complex process, involving linguistic, cultural and personal factors. This article seeks to show how these factors constitute the main source of translation difficulties. The authors suggest that a systematic discussion of these factors would be useful in establishing effective strategies for avoiding pitfalls in translation between English and Chinese
