Entrepreneurial motivation as a determinant of women success in micro small and medium enterprises: A case of Jambi City of Indonesia

Entrepreneurial motivation has been one psychological factor that determines the success of MSMEs as it interacts with external factors. However, this has been scarcely studied in relation to women and the success of MSMEs. This study aims to analyze the effects of motivation and external factors on the success of women running MSMEs in the province of Jambi, Indonesia. A survey research methodology through the distribution of questionnaires on the motivation scale and the success of the MSMEs scale that were constructed by the authors was applied. The rating scale of the questionnaires was rated on a five-point Likert scale. A total of 325 women running MSMEs in Jambi City were given and returned the questionnaires. The results showed that motivation, which is comprised of self-confidence, risk-taking, results-orientedness, intelligence, and skills, has a significant effect on the success of MSMEs. Meanwhile, the success of MSMEs is significantly more affected by time and length of effort than loans or funds due to the decreasing trend of demand for goods and services.

Translation Methods of TCM Prescription Names in A Dream of Red Mansions

As an encyclopedia of Chinese feudal society, A Dream of Red Mansions has always been an academic hot topic. The description of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) plays a vital role in promoting plot development and carrying forward TCM culture. Based on the three principles of translating TCM prescription names, this paper analyses 16 TCM prescription names in the first 80 chapters of the novel in order to find the translation methods of prescription names. It is found that TCM prescription names containing main medicine mainly adopt literal translation because of its brevity; due to the length, TCM prescription names containing healing effects mainly use free translation to conform to the principles of information and conciseness; TCM prescription names containing numbers or colors employ literal translation to in accordance with the principle of back-translation; TCM prescription names containing cultural information usually use free translation and transliteration with a view to meet the principles of information and conciseness.

Four-Corner Model: A New Application of The Interpretive Theory in English-Chinese Written Translation

Slow translation speed and the difficulty of translating long and complex sentences are the problems that translators often face in the practice of English-Chinese written translation. By analyzing the process of rapid interpretation by interpreters, which is often considered to be guided by the Interpretive Theory, this article attempts to obtain suitable methods from the interpreting process to improve the speed and quality of written translation. This paper constructs a “four-corner model” for English-Chinese written translation after the discussion of the Interpretive Theory, especially its “triangular model of interpretation”. Through some training, the “four-corner model” can effectively improve the speed and quality of English-Chinese written translation.

Effects of forest fire disturbance on carbon density of eucalyptus forest ecosystem in Guangdong Province

Forest fire, as a discontinuous ecological factor of forest, causes the changes of carbon storage and carbon distribution in forest ecosystem, and affects the process of forest succession and national carbon capacity. Taking the burned land with different forest fire interference intensity as the research object, using the comparison method of adjacent sample plots, and taking the combination of field investigation sampling and indoor test analysis as the main means, this paper studies the influence of different forest fire interference intensity on the carbon pool of forest ecosystem and the change and spatial distribution pattern of ecosystem carbon density, and discusses the influence mechanism of forest fire interference on ecosystem carbon density and distribution pattern. The results showed that forest fire disturbance reduced the carbon density of vegetation (P < 0.05). The carbon density of vegetation in the light, moderate and high forest fire disturbance sample plots were 67.88, 35.68 and 15.50 t∙hm^-2, which decreased by 15.86%, 55.78% and 80.79% respectively compared with the control group. In the light, moderate and high forest fire disturbance sample plots, the carbon density of litter was 1.43, 0.94 and 0.81 t∙hm^-2, which decreased by 28.14%, 52.76% and 59.30% respectively compared with the control group. The soil organic carbon density of the sample plots with different forest fire disturbance intensity is lower than that of the control group, and the reduction degree gradually decreases with the increase of soil profile depth. The soil organic carbon density of the sample plots with light, moderate and high forest fire disturbance is 103.30, 84.33 and 70.04 t∙hm^-2 respectively, which is 11.670%, 27.899% and 40.11% lower than that of the control group respectively; the carbon density of forest ecosystem was 172.61, 120.95 and 86.35 t∙hm^-2 after light, moderate and high forest fire disturbance, which decreased by 13.53%, 39.41% and 56.74% respectively compared with the control group; forest fire disturbance reduced the carbon density of eucalyptus forest, which showed a law of carbon density decreasing with the increase of forest fire disturbance intensity. Compared with the control group, the effect of light forest fire disturbance intensity on the carbon density of eucalyptus forest was not significant (P > 0.05), while the effect of moderate and high forest fire disturbance intensity on the carbon density of eucalyptus forest was significant (P < 0.05).

Research on teaching strategies of classical Chinese in middle school under the concept of “attaching equal importance to language and writing”

Classical Chinese is not only the crystallization of ancient wisdom, but also an important carrier to cultivate students’ emotions and enrich their cultural connotation. Classical Chinese teaching plays an important role in middle school Chinese teaching, but the separation of “speech” and “text” is a common problem in the actual teaching. The phenomenon of emphasizing “speech” and neglecting “text” is particularly prominent. It is urgent to change the teaching method of classical Chinese. Therefore, the majority of Chinese educators need to clear the fog of understanding of classical Chinese teaching, correctly deal with the relationship between “speech” and “text”, and carry out the teaching of classical Chinese in middle school under the idea of “attaching equal importance to language and text”.
