Recent Dickens Studies: 2022 Concluded
Authors: Jacklosky Rob 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
This article (part 2 of two) surveys Dickens scholarship and adjacent work with a special emphasis on The Dickensian and Dickens Studies Annual. The author’s initial approach was inspired by the alternating micro- and macro-method of Robert Douglas-Fairhurst’s Turning Point 1851. Part 2 of article identifies these key trends: (1) an interest in how nineteenth-century psychology, including trauma, affected Dickens work; (2) film, book, and stage adaptations and adaptation studies; (2) approaches to The Mystery of Edwin Drood; (3) interest in objects, things, places and spaces, including how places, objects and things can hold meaning; (4) intense, narrowly focused scholarship on topics like windows, paperweights, illustrations and correspondence, and again, “things” (5) controversies surrounding Dickens’s biography, especially Ellen Ternan (6) Dickens’s relationship with other authors, including William Makepeace Thackeray, William Harrison Ainsworth, George Eliot, and George Henry Lewes.
Immovable Benches and Liminal Space: Teaching Edith Wharton’s Bunner Sisters in Spain
Authors: Reus Teresa Gómez 
Published: October 2024

Abstract
This article refers to the author’s experience in teaching Edith Wharton in Spain. In particular it makes a case for the teaching of Bunner Sisters, a story that lends itself especially well to examine motifs and concerns that permeate Wharton’s entire oeuvre: her strong strand of determinism, her concern for women’s predicaments, and her nuanced attention to living space. By engaging students in a spatial reading of the story, in particular the shop and the backroom in which the sisters live—a dwelling precariously poised between the commercial and the private—this article suggests that a deeper understanding of the novella may be attained.
Bernard Shaw and the Charles Macdona Partnership: Part II
Authors: Ritschel Nelson O’Ceallaigh 
Published: October 2024

ABSTRACT
This article is the second half of a two-part article (the first of which appeared in SHAW: The Journal of Shaw Studies, vol. 43, no. 2) on the mostly overlooked professional partnership between Bernard Shaw and producer Charles Macdona, which claimed over 7,000 performances of Shaw’s plays from 1912 to 1939. This part explores Macdona’s expanding ambitions for his partnership with Shaw, which begins with fulfilling 1924 plans. The 1925–1940 years cast the Shaw Repertory tours further afield, launched an expansive Saint Joan tour, mounted West End productions, staged a premier, and presented its final performances as the World War II commenced. When Macdona died in 1946, obituary notices and remembrance articles appeared throughout the counties, colonies, and countries where his tours delivered Shaw’s plays. Expanding the Shavian gospel was one of Macdona’s distinct achievements.

Pathways to corporate green technological innovation: An analysis from the perspective of dynamic capabilities
Authors: Du Jianhang , Ganbaatar Batkhuyag , Xiong Ni 
Published: October 2024

Green technological innovation has become a pivotal tool for driving economic restructuring and achieving environmental sustainability. However, in the face of complex and volatile market and policy environments, a critical question remains: how can enterprises effectively select and implement innovation pathways to address environmental turbulence? Drawing on data from 14,751 Chinese listed companies from 2012 to 2022, this study employs dynamic capabilities theory and a fixed-effects panel model to examine the impact of dynamic capabilities on firms’ choice of green innovation pathways. Results show a significant positive influence of dynamic capabilities on green innovation, although this effect varies depending on the research and development model and the level of environmental turbulence. Firms with high dynamic capabilities tend to favor independent research and development, with an effect coefficient of 0.778 (p<0.01); firms with moderate dynamic capabilities benefit more from cooperative research and development, with a coefficient of 0.045 (p<0.01); and firms with lower dynamic capabilities primarily pursue green innovation through technology transactions, with a coefficient of 0.052 (p<0.01). Furthermore, environmental turbulence significantly moderates the relationship between dynamic capabilities and green innovation negatively, with an interaction coefficient of -0.088 (p<0.05), indicating that environmental uncertainty weakens the positive impact of dynamic capabilities.These findings suggest that firms can select suitable research and development models aligned with their level of dynamic capabilities and adopt flexible innovation strategies to effectively manage environmental turbulence. This study proposes the following policy recommendations: enterprises should strengthen their dynamic capabilities, particularly in knowledge acquisition, resource integration, and adaptability to environmental changes, to enhance their green innovation capacity. Additionally, the government should increase policy support for green technological innovation by offering financial subsidies, tax incentives, and intellectual property protections, helping enterprises maintain their innovation momentum amid environmental turbulence.

The pharmaceutical industry is key to the survival of the human race, but equally becoming increasingly susceptible to global disruptions. In Nigeria, records have shown that the industry is plagued with several problems, inclusive of low employee productivity, poor market share, low innovation performance, poor and marginal sales growth and low profitability, which are likely a result of a lack of strategic flexibility in the face of increasing environment turbulence and intense competition. Despite efforts from researchers, the moderating role of supply chain agility has been largely overlooked in the literature. Therefore, this study examines the moderating role of supply chain agility on the relationship between strategic flexibility (resource flexibility, coordination flexibility, proactive flexibility, reactive flexibility and futurity) and organisational performance. A survey research design was used to collect data from 642 management and senior staff employees of six pharmaceutical companies listed on the Nigerian Exchange Group. A total enumeration method was adopted for the study, with a well-structured adapted questionnaire, having Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients ranging from 0.725 to 0.945. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was chosen to achieve the research goal. The PLS-SEM analysis revealed that strategic flexibility positively affects organizational performance (β = -0.093, p> 0.050, Q2 = 0.644). However, supply chain agility negatively moderates this effect, indicating that while agility is beneficial independently, it can counteract the positive impact of strategic flexibility when combined. The study recommended that the management of pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria should pay serious attention to strategic flexibility as an organizational capability that can enhance performance in the face of increasing uncertainties in and unpredictability nature of the business environment.

Authors: Wang Chiyu 
Published: October 2024

This paper proposes a Transformer-based point cloud classification method. By designing two key modules: a hybrid feature extraction module and a multi-head self-attention module, efficient feature extraction and classification of point cloud data are achieved. The hybrid feature extraction module combines the advantages of convolutional neural network (CNN) and Transformer architecture, extracts local geometric features through convolution operations. The multi-head self-attention module captures different feature relationships in the point cloud through multiple self-attention heads to further enhance feature representation. Experimental results also demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Our method achieves 91.6% mAcc and 93.3% OA on ModelNet40 dataset; on the ScanObjectNN dataset, it achieves 79.8% mAcc.
