The patriot-preneur – China’s strategic narrative of women entrepreneurs in Chinese media

ABSTRACT China declared women’s equality since the formation of the Communist Party of China in 1949. However a gender gap in entrepreneurship persists. Scholars have examined the modalities of women’s entrepreneurship, but the government’s framing of women’s entrepreneurship remains a mystery. Therefore, we analysed China’s strategic narrative of women entrepreneurs by asking, How does Chinese media portray women’s entrepreneurship? and Who is the ideal female entrepreneur? To answer these questions, we conducted an inductive qualitative analysis of Chinese media and selected speeches of Xi Jinping. Results revealed the patriot-preneur is the ideal female entrepreneur who engages in her Chinese Dream of entrepreneurship to promote her family, Chinese citizens, and the nation to economic greatness. This narrative is constructed from four discursive themes, fulfilment of destiny, persevere through hardship, gratitude to the Motherland, and collective feminist action. Using feminist theorizing, findings indicate filial piety and Marxism are essential to the patriot-preneur strategic narrative, whereby women must operate successful businesses while sustaining the ‘triple role’ of mother, daughter, and loyal citizen. By utilizing strategic narrative theory we introduced a novel process model to the field of entrepreneurship and public policy. The results underscore practical implications for Chinese policymakers and women entrepreneurs in general.

Elements For A Scientific Analysis Of The Arab Revolutions In Spring 2011

These revolts were not masterminded by any opposition force. They were popular uprisings without charismatic leadership, partly enhanced by social network communication, but not a Facebook revolution. Will the changes made by the young generation in the Arab countries inspire other young people without perspectives in Europe and beyond? Developments in Spain and Greece indicate such a development. Will good governance follow decades of authoritarian regimes in the 22 member-states of the Arab League? Or will neo-absolutism in secular or religious form prevail? Any debate in spring 2011 provides us with more questions than clear responses. However, one fact is undeniable: the Arab world has awakened from a long coma-sleep; another century of stagnation seems to be over. Its impact on other regions can be felt. Civil servants in the US-state of Wisconsin who protested in late February against cuts in their payments shouted slogans like “We are all Egyptians”. The Chinese censorship blocks the notion “jasmine”, trying to avert any potential spill-over of the virus of the Jasmine revolution which started in Tunisia on December 17, 2010.
Spatial Downscaling of Suomi NPP–VIIRS Image for Lake Mapping

Capturing the dynamics of a lake-water area using remotely sensed images has always been an essential task. Most of the fine spatial resolution data are unsuitable for this purpose because of their low temporal resolution and limited scene coverage. A Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite on board the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (Suomi NPP–VIIRS) is a newly-available and appropriate sensor for monitoring large lakes due to its frequent revisits and wide swath (more than 3000 km). However, it provides visible and infrared images at relatively coarse spatial resolutions, which would sometimes hamper the accurate mapping of lake shorelines. This study, therefore, proposes a two-step downscaling method that combines spectral unmixing and subpixel mapping to produce a finer resolution lake map from NPP–VIIRS imagery, which is then applied to delineate the shorelines of five plateau lakes in Yunnan Province, as well as the shoreline dynamics of Poyang Lake at three separate times. A newly published global water dynamic dataset is employed in this study to improve the downscaling method. Results suggest that the proposed method can generate a finer resolution lake map that exhibits more details of the shoreline than hard classification. The downscaling results of the Suomi NPP–VIIRS generally achieve higher than 75% accuracy, while the downscaling results of a Landsat-simulated fraction map could have accuracy higher than 85%. This reveals that errors and uncertainties exist in both procedures, but mainly come from the spectral unmixing procedure which retrieves water fractions from NPP–VIIRS data.
A short-term risk–benefit analysis of occasional and regular use of low-dose aspirin in primary prevention of vascular diseases: a nationwide population-based study

Objective To calculate the short-term risk–benefit effect of occasional and regular use of low-dose aspirin (≤100 mg/day) in primary prevention. Study design Two retrospective cohort studies. Setting Taiwan. Participants 63 788 and 24 910 patients of two nationwide population-based studies were examined. Methods Two databases of 1 000 000 patients were randomly sampled from data of Taiwan's National Health Insurance (NHI) for years 1997–2000 (NHI 2000) and 2005 (NHI 2005). In NHI 2000, 63 788 patients 30–95 years of age were found not to have previously been prescribed aspirin before 1 January 2000, but to have first been prescribed low-dose aspirin after that date. They were also found to be at risk of first hospitalisation for any major vascular diseases including haemorrhage (major gastrointestinal haemorrhage or cerebral haemorrhage) and ischaemia (acute myocardial infarction or ischaemic stroke) after their first prescription. We also applied it to NHI 2005, and the number of eligible patients was 24 910. Patients prescribed low-dose aspirin for <20% of the days of a 60-day follow-up period were considered to be occasional users, and those prescribed low-dose aspirin for ≥80% of the days were considered to be regular users. Differences in rate of haemorrhage and ischaemia between these users were used to calculate their net clinical risk. Primary outcome Vascular diseases. Results In NHI 2000, the overall unadjusted rates of haemorrhage and ischaemia were 0.09% and 0.21%, respectively, for occasional users and 0.32% and 2.30%, respectively, for regular users. Adjusted net clinical risk of low-dose aspirin use between the two groups was 2.24% (95% CI 2.03% to 2.48%; p<0.001). Similar results were also found in NHI 2005. Conclusions Short-term regular use of low-dose aspirin might not be better than occasional use for preventing major vascular diseases in primary prevention. Prescribing regular low-dose aspirin for primary prevention should be done with caution. Future studies should explore the risk–benefit effect of long-term low-dose aspirin use in primary prevention.
A DCC Analysis of Two Exchange Rate Market Returns Volatility with an Japan Dollars Factor: Study of Taiwan and Korea Exchange Rate Markets

This paper discuss the associations and model construction between Taiwan and Korea’s exchange rate markets during the period from January 2000 to July 2008. The empirical results show that the mutual effects of the Taiwan and the Korea’s exchange rate markets may construct in bivariate IGARCH (1, 1) model. The empirical result also shows that there exists the positive relations between Taiwan and Korea’s exchange rate markets namely two exchange rate market return’s volatility are synchronized influenced, and the average estimation value of the DCC coefficient of two exchange rate markets equals to 0.4073. The Japan’s exchange rate return’s volatility will also affect the variation risk of the Taiwan’s exchange rate market, but the Japan’s exchange rate return’s volatility will not affect the variation risk of the Korea’s exchange rate market. Furthermore, Taiwan and Korea's exchange rate markets do not have the asymmetrical effect in the research period. Keyword Exchange rate market returns, DCC, bivariate IGARCH model, Student’s t distribution, asymmetrical effect.

A cross‐cultural comparison of perceived informational fairness with service failure explanations

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of culture (Western versus East Asian) on customers' perceived informational fairness of several types of failure explanations – excuse, justification, reference, and apology. It also seeks to examine whether informational fairness influences post‐failure satisfaction and consequent loyalty intentions.Design/methodology/approach – A two (culture: US and Taiwanese) × four (explanation type: excuse, justification, reference to other people, and penitence) between‐subjects experimental design was used to test the hypotheses. Participants were exposed to a written scenario describing a flight delay. A total of 286 undergraduate students served as the subject pool.Findings – The findings of this study imply that customers from different cultures perceive service failure explanations somewhat differently. US customers perceive reference to other customers to be more just while Taiwanese customers perceive apology to be more just. Furthermore, such inf.
FULL SCALE STEEL PLATE SHEAR WALL : MCEER / NCREE PHASE II TESTS

In Phase II of MCEER/NCREE cooperative project, a full scale two-story steel plate shear wall was obtained by replacing the buckled panels by new panels prior to submitting the specimen to further testing. To experimentally address the behavior of the repaired specimen in a new earthquake and the seismic performance of the intermediate beam in the first stage of Phase II, the specimen was tested under pseudo-dynamic loads equivalent to the first earthquake record considered in the Phase I tests. The specimen was subjected to cyclic testing to failure in the next stage of the Phase II tests to investigate the ultimate behavior of the intermediate beam and the cyclic behavior as well as the ultimate capacity of the specimen. It is shown that the repaired specimen can survive and dissipate significant amounts of hysteretic energy in a new earthquake without severe damages to the boundary frame or overall strength degradation. It is also found that the specimen had exceptional redundancy and exhibited stable forcedisplacement behavior up to the drifts of 5.2 % and 5.0 % at the first and second story respectively. Introduction A steel plate shear wall (SPSW) consists of infill steel panels surrounded by boundary frame members. These panels are allowed to buckle in shear and subsequently form a diagonal tension field. SPSWs are progressively being used as the primary lateral force resisting systems in buildings (Sabelli and Bruneau 2006). Past monotonic, cyclic and shaking table tests on SPSW in the United States, Canada, Japan, Taiwan and other countries have shown that this type of structural system can exhibit high initial stiffness, behave in a ductile manner and dissipate significant amounts of hysteretic energy, which make it a suitable option for the design of new buildings as well as for the retrofit of existing constructions (extensive literature reviews are available in Sabelli and Bruneau 2006 and Berman and Bruneau 2003a). Analytical research on SPSW has also validated useful models for the design and analysis of this lateral load resisting system (Thorburn et al.1983; Elgaaly et al.1993; Driver et al. 1997; Berman and Bruneau 2003b). Recent design procedures for SPSW are provided by the CSA Limit States Design of Steel Structures (CSA 2003) and the AISC Seismic Provision for Structural Steel Buildings (AISC 2005).

The Frequency of anti-CCP antibodies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis and their relationship with clinical features and parameters of angiogenesis: A comparative study.

OBJECTIVE Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), as crucial parameters of angiogenesis and inflammation, were evaluated to identify the role of cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) during angiogenesis in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA). MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 145 patients with RA, 44 patients with PsA, and 73 healthy subjects were included in this study. The clinical features, total blood counts, and acute phase parameters of RA and PsA patients were recorded. Anti-CCP antibody, VEGF, and MIF levels were determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS Anti-CCP positivity was significantly higher in the RA group (69%) than in both PsA (20.6%) and controls (8.2%) (p values<0.001). There was no difference between anti-CCP-positive and -negative RA patients regarding the extra-articular manifestations (p>0.05). VEGF and MIF levels were similar in anti-CCP-positive and -negative RA patients (all p values>0.05). The specificity of anti-CCP antibodies for RA was found to be 87.2%. No relationship was found between anti-CCP antibody positivity and clinical features, disease activity, functional disability as assessed by health assessment questionnaire scores, and extra-articular manifestations. There was no relationship between parameters of angiogenesis and anti-CCP antibody positivity. Both RF and anti-CCP antibodies were observed to be positive in most patients with RA. CONCLUSION Either RF or anti-CCP antibody was positive in a considerable proportion of our RA patients. Therefore, anti-CCP antibodies are important in the diagnosis of RF-negative patients who present with clinical findings of RA.

TRODAT-1 and Tc-99 m ECD observations in hyperglycemia

We describe two cases of right hyperglycemia hemichorea (HGHC) with identical Tc-99m TRODAT-1/ Tc-99m ECD scan findings. While the brain MRI showed signal alterations within the left putamen, there was evidence of hyperperfusion on Tc-99m TRODAT-1 but hypoperfusion on Tc-99m ECD within the left putamen, in association with hyperperfusion within left thalamus on Tc-99m ECD. The discrepancy between the Tc-99m TRODAT-1 and Tc-99m ECD scan provides insight into the imbalance between direct and indirect circuits along the nigrostriatal pathway, as the fundamental genesis of HGHC. Furthermore, the hyperperfusion at the left thalamus represents thalamic disinhibition secondary to loss of pallidal negative control, which ultimately leads to HGHC through re-entrant outflow to the motor cortex.

Tel: +886-4-3606-0666 ext 4913, E-mail: tmctmc30@yahoo.com. tw INTRODUCTION Hyperglycemia hemichorea (HGHC) is a rare syndrome characterized by unilateral chorea in the context of a hyperglycemic state and characteristic neuroradiological findings within the contralateral striatum. Patchy hyperintensities within the putamen and/or caudate nucleus in T1 weighted imaging of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are regarded as the main radiological features. Although HGHC has been recognized as a unique clinical-radiological syndrome for years, its mechanisms have remained obscure. While histological studies using biopsy specimens have described gemistocytic astrocytosis, autopsy cases of more complicated clinical profiles have shown infarct, reactive astrocytosis, or inconsistent mineral deposits. Studies dedicated to structural neuroimaging once proposed microhaemorrhage, mineral deposition, ischemic insults, and altered hemodyamics from a venous anomaly as the favored causes of HGHC. However, there have been few functional imaging reports in the literature. We herein elaborate two cases of HGHC and probe its underlying pathogenesis by incorporating MRI findings with observations from a Technetium-99m TRODAT-1 scan (Tc-99m TRODAT-1) and Technetium-99m ethyl cysteinate dimmer (Tc-99m ECD).

On estimation in multinomial logit model for a panel study

In this paper, we introduce a new method, which provides the estimator with smaller mean square error (MSE) than traditional method. The suggested method retains the simplicity of traditional method and enables us to obtain a smaller MSE for the predicted estimator. In the procedure of prediction, we use the information of sample size for each survey. To understand the efficiency of our suggested method compared to the traditional one, we use a series of surveys taken in the Taiwan presidential election of 2000 as an empirical study. This empirical study is carried out in order to better understand the performance of the suggested method's estimator compared to the estimator of the traditional method.
Testing export exogeneity in Taiwan: further evidence

Export-promotion policies have been widely credited for fostering economic growth in the four `Asian Tigers’ of Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan. In their well-known comparative study of economic growth and public policy in East Asia, the World Bank (1993) argued that other developing countries can (and perhaps should) emulate East Asia’s success. The World Bank remarked, `The export-push strategy appears to hold great promise for other developing economies, ’ (p. 25). In an interesting recent paper, Kwan, Cotsomitis and Kwok (1996) ± thereafter, KCK ± have subjected the above contention to empirical testing in the case of Taiwan using the exogeneity procedures proposed by Engle and Hendry (1993). For the annual sample period 1953± 1988, KCK reported results supportive of the implication of the export-led growth (ELG) hypothesis that exports in Taiwan are weakly exogenous which justi® es the use of single equation models for studying the impact of exports of economic growth. However, KCK also claimed that their results are at odds with the ELG hypothesis since they reject super-exogeneity of exports. If valid, these results cast some doubts on the ability of export promotion policies to spur economic growth in Taiwan. The purpose of this paper is to address two major problems in KCK’s work. Correcting for these ̄ aws, the empirical results obtained reject KCK’s notion and show that exports in Taiwan are both weakly and superexogenous to output. II . SOME MODELLING ISSUES
