The effectiveness of different types of monetary incentives to download the TraceTogether application by Lim, Mei Hui, Liu, Lingshan, Ng, Shu Min

“…This group was asked whether they would download it without any mention of monetary incentives. The main findings of this study were (i) Participants were more willing to download the TraceTogether application with monetary incentives compared to no monetary incentives, (ii) All participants in the “choice” group chose to receive direct payment, (iii) Most participants believed that direct payment would result in the highest number of people downloading a contact tracing application, (iv) “Direct payment”, “gift card” and “choice” had statistically lower minimum WTA than “charity donation” and (v) There is no statistically significant difference between the minimum WTA of “choice” and “direct payment”, “direct payment” and “gift card”, as well as “gift card” and “choice”.…”

Stylistic reproduction in the English version of Winter Pasture from the perspective of the stylistic markers theory by Liu, Yunyue

“…Based on the Stylistic Markers Theory by Liu Miqing, the author of this paper classifies the style of Winter Pasture according to the features of formal markers and conducts a comparative study with qualitative analyses. And this paper finds that the translators use various modes to transfer different formal markers, including onomatopoeic words at the phonological level, the Romanised Kazakh vocabularies and the language of Kazakh grammar at the register level, meaningful punctuation at the syntactic level, the skilful uses of loose sentences and harmonious parallel sentences at the textural level, and the detailed colour words at the lexical level. …”
