Digital Storytelling and Audience Engagement: A Case Study of Chinese Fashion Designer-Entrepreneurs with a Focus on Jicheng

This study examines how fashion designer-entrepreneurs(FDEs)leverage digital storytelling on social media to build brand identity and engage audiences,focusing on the case of Jicheng,a Chinese FDE on Weibo.By analyzing posts over nine months,the research explores how storytelling formats(text,photos,videos)and cultural themes(such as human nature and time/space)affect audience engagement,measured through likes,comments,and shares.The findings indicate that text-photo combinations and relatable,timely content are the most effective in fostering interaction and social capital.The paper offers recommendations for FDEs to enhance digital storytelling,emphasizing the importance of balancing thematic consistency with content novelty to support brand growth and audience loyalty.This approach underscores the critical role of cultivating sustainable relationships between FDEs and their audiences.

Financial Risk Evaluation System in the Context of Great Intelligence Movement Cloud: A Hierarchical Analysis Approach

This paper examines the financial risk evaluation system in the context of the“Great Intelligence Movement Cloud”and employs the hierarchical analysis method as the primary research tool.With the rapid advancement of“Great Intelligence Movement Cloud”technology,enterprise financial risks have expanded from the offline domain to the information domain,encompassing a broader scope and more diverse channels.The traditional approach to risk identification,relying solely on single financial indicators,no longer meets current demands.Therefore,it is essential to integrate a non-financial early warning indicator system and adopt a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis methods.Hierarchical analysis enables the decomposition of complex problems into multiple components and organizes them into a hierarchical structure based on their relationships,facilitating a more accurate assessment of financial risk.This study seeks to establish a comprehensive financial risk evaluation system suited to the“Great Intelligence Movement Cloud”context,offering enterprises more precise risk assessments to better address financial risks and achieve steady development.

Analysis of China’s New Energy Vehicle Export Competitiveness in a Dual-Carbon Context

In the context of the dual-carbon goals(carbon peaking and carbon neutrality),China’s new energy vehicle industry,as a key component of the green economy,has increasingly attracted international attention for its export competitiveness.Drawing on the Porter Diamond Model,this paper selects four major variables—R&D investment,production factors,demand factors,and spare parts services—to establish a linear regression equation.Through this model,the trade competitiveness of China’s new energy vehicles is analyzed in detail,and corresponding suggestions are proposed to enhance the competitiveness index.It is anticipated that Chinese new energy vehicle enterprises can strengthen overseas competitiveness by advancing core technology innovation,improving comprehensive industrial chain management,and diversifying sales channels.

Study on Influencing Factors of Tourism Income in Yantai City Based on Multiple Linear Regression Analysis

As one of the first coastal open cities in China,Yantai City is situated in the eastern Shandong Peninsula,bordered by the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea.With the continuous improvement of tourism infrastructure,public enthusiasm for tourism in Yantai has been growing.To formulate more effective tourism development policies tailored to the local context,this study examines Yantai City using a multiple linear regression model to identify the primary factors influencing domestic tourism income.Based on the findings,this paper proposes scientifically grounded and actionable strategies to further optimize the development of tourism in Yantai City.

Exploring the Pathways of Power Grid Marketing Management Based on Big Data

The electric power industry is undergoing profound transformations driven by big data,posing challenges to the traditional power grid marketing management model.These challenges include neglecting market demands,insufficient data support,and inadequate customer service.The application of big data technology offers innovative solutions for power grid marketing management,encompassing critical aspects such as data collection and integration,storage management,analysis,and mining.By leveraging these technologies,power grid enterprises can precisely understand customer needs,optimize marketing strategies,and enhance operational efficiency.This paper explores strategies for power grid marketing management based on big data,addressing areas such as customer segmentation and personalized services,as well as market demand forecasting and response.Furthermore,it proposes implementation pathways,including essential elements such as organizational structure and team building,data quality and governance systems,training,and cultural development.These efforts aim to ensure the effective application of big data technology and maximize its value.

Predatory journals and meetings in forensic sciences:what every expert needs to know about this“parasitic”publishing model

The emergence of the internet has transformed all areas of society.This includes the universe of scientific publications,with several publishers now exclusively focusing on the electronic format and open access model while expanding to a megajournal scope.in this context,the pandemic of predatory open access journals(POAJs)and meetings are of grave concern to the academic and research community.This new shift within academia produces a variety of new victims;namely,the authors themselves.in turn,scientific knowledge is often discredited,with the public placing less trust in science.Now more than ever,performing research with integrity and selecting a journal in which to publish requires close attention and expertise.The“predatory movement”has developed increasingly sophisticated techniques for misleading people into believing what seem to be credible professional layouts and legitimate invitations.initiatives such as the Jeffrey Beall’s list,the Cabell’s Scholarly Analytics and Think.Check.Submit offer some guidance to uncover the“parasitic”intervention of predatory journals and meetings,but specific education in this field is sorely needed.This work aims to review the main characteristics of predatory journals and meetings and to analyze this topic in the context of forensic and legal medicine research.

Science collaboration in West Africa after the first regional STI policy (2011-2020)

The scientific publications of the 15 West African countries published from 2011 to 2020 were analysed.The co-authorship,the total publications per year,the collaboration rate,the relative specialisation index,and the intraregional production were analysed.It comes out that the region produces more than one hundred thousand papers in ten years,which means more than ten thousand per year,tripling its performance as compared with the previous decade.The number of co-authors per paper increases and rises from 4.6 to 6.4.The international collaboration rate is 58%,suggesting that the region's publishing activity depends more on abroad,even though differences were registered at individual country level:some countries multiply by more than 10 their production as compared to the previous decade.The intraregional collaboration is still low(around 5%),meaning that the region's countries do not collaborate with each other and prefer abroad.As far as fields of science are concerned,it appears that the domestic papers perform better in Humanities and Social sciences,whereas the internationally co-authored papers perform better in Natural sciences and Engineering and technology and lesser in Agricultural sciences and Medical and health sciences.
