A Comparative Analysis of the Role Functions of Dumbledore and Gandalf from a Narratological Perspective
Based on narratological theory and employing A. J. Greimas’s actantial model, this study conducts a comparative analysis of the narrative functions exhibited by Gandalf in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings versus those manifested by Dumbledore in the Harry Potter series. The analysis reveals that while both characters fulfill the dual roles of “senders” and “helpers”, their functional orientations diverge significantly: Gandalf operates predom…
China’s digital expansion in the Global South
At the intersection of China’s growing global presence and growing digital power lies its digital expansion in the low- and middle-income countries of the Global South. Worth billions of US$ annually in trade and investment, and having a significant impact on these countries’ social and economic development, this phenomenon has been relatively ignored by researchers to date. However, it has nonetheless now been sufficiently studied to warrant a s…
China’s digital expansion in the Global South
State Capitalism as an Instrument of Diplomacy
Using survey data on Chinese multinational enterprises (MNEs), we examine the effect of home-government diplomatic support on Chinese firms’ overseas performance. The findings indicate that the level of diplomatic support offered by the home government has a positive association with the overseas performance of Chinese MNEs. Strong political relations between China and the host country can further boost the effect of home-country diplomatic suppo…
Association Between Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and the Risks of Type-Specific Cardiovascular Diseases
Objective Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been linked to subsequent overall cardiovascular diseases. However, evidence on the associations of GDM with type-specific cardiovascular diseases is lacking, and findings on the potential impact of type 2 diabetes on the associations are not consistent. This study aimed to explore the associations between GDM and the risks of type-specific cardiovascular diseases. Methods Data were from 12,025 wo…
Case Report
Background Listeria monocytogenes is an important food-borne bacterium. It rarely infects patients with complete immunity and causes meningocephalitis. Patients with severe Listeria encephalitis always experience a bad prognosis. Case Presentation A 39-year-old male patient was admitted to our hospital due to fever for more than 10 days and disturbance of consciousness accompanied by convulsions for 2 days. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing …
The importance of institutional and financial resources for export performance associated with technological innovation
This study adopts a resource contingency perspective to examine the impact of technological innovation on export performance of manufacturing firms. In view of institutional voids and capital market imperfections in emerging economies, we propose that two types of resources, institutional resources and financial resources, are of differential value in the innovation-exports nexus. Empirical results, based on a large sample of Chinese manufacturin…
