The Boundless Treasures of the Mountains and the Seas People often use the term "treasures" to describe the lives and resources existing in the mountains and the seas; however, they do not keep or care for the treasures carefully like they treat precious gemstones. Overconsumption is what humans do to the treasures. With the aim of preventing the treasures from being completely depleted in the near future, the Summer Edition's cover stories will continue the spirit of this year's theme "Grand Perspectives with no Boundaries" by sharing stories about a group of people who are committed to protecting the boundless treasures of the mountains and the seas through transnational, interagency, and intersectoral exchange and collaboration for the concept of conservation to prevail in different corners of the world. Cover Story I took the "2023 International Conservation Symposium" as a starting point to explore how international exchanges can create more opportunities for conservation practi

「拉達克之旅讓我重新思考，是否每趟旅程都必須要有所獲得？可不可以只是一種純粹的失去，讓故事得以其獨立而不完美的姿態存在。」~Peter Su 在不盡理想的生活中，學著接受旅途裡偶然發生的遺憾，學習看見大自然裡存在的不完美。天空、森林與大海裡的每個存在，成就了另一段生命的延續，每一個看似結束的缺，卻畫出了另一個圓。Peter在途中學會了原諒自己，不再執著唯一的結果，也許在各種不同的宇宙軸線裡，每個當下的結束，都是為了創造另一個新的開始。 通往拉達克的路上，Peter的心境從複雜走向簡單，曾經深怕自己抓不住眼前一切的發生，可也許問題從來都不在於我們能擁有多少，而是內心還能真正地去感受多少。 ●以圓的設計傳達書籍撰述概念 Beginning 的圓 裡面填滿著尚未踏上拉達克之前可以乘載快樂的最大容量。 Unfinished 的圓 裡面填滿的容量其實和我原先的容量一樣，只是承載的容器變了，它被無限擴充後，原先的快樂數量沒有變，但因為承載的容器被改變後，對於喜悅的感受反而變得更加無限。 書衣的圓 是拉達克旅程最終的完成體，它置放在正中間的位置是第一集開始（封面）與結束（書背）之間的橋樑。 除了代表拉達克蘊含的無限之外，圓形體沒有一定的起點跟終點，任何一個位置都能是開始。

"Wine Travelogue: Exploring the Charms of the Okanagan Valley" unveils the journey of savouring the wines of Canada's Okanagan Valley! When you think of Canadian wine, ice wine might be the first to come to mind. However, when the author embarked on a wine tour in the Okanagan Valley and tasted over a hundred local wines, he was immediately captivated by the reds, whites, sparklings, and rosés. This book is presented in both Chinese and English, brimming with captivating photographs and text. It chronicles the author's adventures and emotions, along with wine tasting notes and conversations with individual winemakers, grape growers, and estate managers during visits to twelve representative wineries across the Okanagan Valley, from north to south. The photographs vividly portray the region's lakes and mountains, the vineyards, and the winemaking facilities of each winery, as well as the warm faces of the local community. The book also delves into the author's insights into the regi

《Betwixt and Between: Life, Death, and Rebirth》is a record of Master Nan’s talks in which he answered questions about the process of death and rebirth. Master Nan weaves together personal anecdotes, scientific knowledge, Buddhist teachings from the Pali Canon, Mahayana sutras, Yogacara, Vijnanavada, and Chan in such an intricate way that those who are curious about the Buddhist perspective on life and death, those familiar with Buddhist teachings, and those who are deep into cultivation will all gain new insights and answers. For its depth, this book is very engaging and hard to put down. Any reader will find it to be a treasure trove and will want to come back to it again and again.

This volume is the first book-length monograph on the most widespread and deadly infectious disease in China, both historically and today: tuberculosis (TB). Weaving together interviews with data from periodicals and local archives in Shanghai, Rachel Core examines the rise and fall of TB control in China from the 1950s to the 1990s. The answer to this, Core argues, lies in the socialist work-unit system. Under the work-unit system, the vast majority of people had guaranteed employment, a host of benefits tied to their workplace, and there was little mobility—factors that made the delivery of medical and public health services possible in both urban and rural areas. The dismantling of work units amid wider market reforms in the 1980s and 1990s led to the rise of temporary and casual employment and a huge migrant worker population, with little access to health care, creating new challenges in TB control. This study of Shanghai has major implications for institutional research on diseas

We visit Earth in current life and maybe head to others in next. It is our instinct to carry over DNA in reincarnation, to taste unknown desires, and to experience seven emotions with six sensory pleasures; however, everything in action shall be as nature as possible. Nobody really knows who dominate on life-stage, it can be actor/actress themselves, or drama writer, else screen director, or else audience instead. Metropolitan exits with multiple values; usually, cause of event is unclear to define from individual’s irrationally protection of interest or selfishly defending portion of pie. People usually capture one section of story and miss the other part of puzzle. Living chaos is daily usual. no matter you are wealthy, majestic, poor, or underclass, once doom day arrives, bell on stage rings off, curtain pulls down, light shuts off, everything is buried under dirt of history. No matter how successfully achieved in history, or how remarkably accomplished in professional field; it

Taking The 70’s Biweekly—an independent youth publication in the 1970s Hong Kong—as the main thread, this edited volume investigates an unexplored trajectory of Hong Kong’s cultural and art production in the 1970s that represents the making of a dissent space by independent press and activist groups in the city. The 70’s Biweekly stands out from many other independent magazines with its unique blending of radical political theories, social activism, avant-garde art, and local art and literature creations. By taking the magazine as a nodal point of social and cultural activism from and around which actions, debates, community, and artistic practices are formed and generated, this book fills gaps in studies on how young Hong Kong cultural producers carved out an alternative creative and political space to speak against established authorities. Split into three parts, this book provides readers with a panoramic view of the political and cultural activisms in Hong Kong during the 1970s,

活用物理定律和自然法則，發揮電路設計各元件特性 反向思考從核心知識技術突破摩爾定律極限，創新升級 一般教科書這樣教：「施加5V的電壓在1kΩ的電阻上，會流過幾A的電流？」 但在實際製作時必須考慮的是：「施加5V的電壓，想要流過5mA的電流時，要使用幾Ω的電阻才可以？」 一個迴路上能夠產生電流的構造就可以稱為是一個電路，電子電路是結合電路元件與控制系統的電路裝置。再加上程式設計，可讓電子電路擁有更複雜精密的功能，如智慧手機app。以電路為基礎，加上二極體、電晶體等半導體元件後，可讓積體電路（IC）結構變得愈來愈複雜先進。電子電路是目前眾多科技發展的基礎核心，半導體製造、物聯網、深度學習、AR/VR 和圖像辨認等應用技術全都仰賴龐大的IC資料庫進化升級。 本書除了提供必要的電子電路核心知識，也針對實際的電子電路需求和特性的製作設計提供完整說明。針對各項電路元件及製程微細化、未來各產業領域超高容量、超高速、超高頻、超低功耗等需求，電子電路做為其中不可或缺的必備技術，本書具有最佳的引領功能，並且納入了實際製作各種電路的操作程序及思考點，不僅能反向思考原理，也能透過實際動手製作設計的過程，在試做中發現並解決問題，從中攫取結合新的技術、構想和創意的靈感。 本書內容特色： ．超過200張圖表：各種原理圖、電路符號、電路圖表、算式說明、程序操作圖說等，輕鬆好理解 ．必備的知識原理：電與電路核心概念、各類電路元件（如二極體、雙極性電晶體、FET）的功能構造與動作原理、電子電路的動作和應用、數位電路與程式設計 ．電路製作實務應用：光源（LED燈、光電感測器）、聲音（耳機、喇叭）、電晶體、印刷電路板、數位電路等5大領域，逐一提供實作所需的相關知識和步驟 ‧解析實務差異和思考因應：電阻值公式計算和實際使用規格的落差、如何選用電源電路來減低雜訊、依種類不同而異的腳位配置、依據電路的規格決定電晶體大小與電流值、電路模擬器的原理運用 日本讀者這樣說 「這本書非常適合在Raspberry Pi 或 Arduino有電子製作經驗的人參考並繼續學習。」 「本書能夠讓人輕鬆理解且有趣，會讓我想實際去製作收音機和音頻放大器。」 「覺得可以當成教科書以外的補充讀本。」

In Modern Chinese Counter-Enlightenment: Affect, Reason, and the Transcultural Lexicon, Peng Hsiao-yen argues that a trend of Counter-Enlightenment had grown from the late Qing to the May Fourth era in the 1910s to the 1920s and continued to the 1940s. She demonstrates how Counter-Enlightenment was manifested with case studies such as Lu Xun’s writings in the late 1900s, the Aesthetic Education movement from the 1910s to 1920s, and the Science and Lifeview debate in the 1920s. During the period, the life philosophy movement, highlighting the epistemic debate on affect and reason, was connected with its counterparts in Germany, France, and Japan. The movement had widespread and long-term impact on Chinese philosophy and literature. Using the transcultural lexicon as methodology, this book traces how the German term Lebensanschauung (lifeview), a key concept in Rudolf Eucken’s life philosophy, constituted a global tide of Counter-Enlightenment that inspired the thought of leading Chinese

Build for a Vibrant Future We all face environmental issues such as oceanic warming, glacier calving, spreading pollution, and species extinctions. Because of this, national governments around the world are trying to deal with the problems in every possible way, from policy, to investment, to education, and more.

COVID-19 alongside the Russia-Ukraine war have brought about an enormous across-the-globe impact to demonstrate no one can remain insulated from the global change. US-China’s rivalry, coupled with Japan’s and Korea’s ceaseless moves, plus ASEAN countries’ & South Asian nations’ significant advances are likely to herald an era of unprecedented change. Is Taiwan well prepared to avert falling victim to the war of two superpowers? Never count on a handful of aces up your sleeve, a game-changer may just turn your longstanding advantage into a future liability. Semiconductors and the supply chains are Taiwan’s most significant strategic assets to engage with the international community. In retrospect, Taiwan’s semiconductor industry led by industry leaders like Morris Chang and Ming-Kai Tsai, had achieved a global leading position. Corporate strategies employed by Taiwan’s representative rivals as Intel, U.S. and Samsung, Korea all feed into their distinct future development. Semiconducto

Kaho Yu’s China’s Energy Security in the Twenty-First Century: The Role of Global Governance and Climate Change explores the evolution of China’s energy security from its bilateral going-out strategy to its more multilateral Belt and Road Initiative. By analysing the topic from a multidisciplinary perspective, this book examines China’s evolving role in global energy governance through four empirical case studies: China’s energy cooperation with Russia and Central Asia, Africa, the European Union, and the Asia Infrastructure Investment Bank.

With the increasing number of complaints and court cases relating to healthcare disputes, healthcare practitioners (HCPs) are now facing more challenges and dilemmas in their daily practices. This book is unique in that most chapters are written jointly by two authors: one with legal training and one with a healthcare background. The balanced view offered thus allows readers to gain a thorough understanding of the concepts presented. Although most of the examples and scenarios are specific to medical doctors, the basic principles and ethical considerations as well as the enforcement of laws and regulations are, with some modifications, equally applicable to other HCPs, such as dentists, nurses, midwives, etc. Readers interested in healthcare law and ethics from numerous fields and stages of training, including legal and healthcare practitioners, trainees, postgraduate researchers and undergraduate students, will find this book both informative and practical as an aid to their work and

In Chinese Cinema: Identity, Power, and Globalization, a variety of scholars explore the history, aesthetics, and politics of Chinese cinema as the Chinese film industry grapples with its place as the second largest film industry in the world. Exploring the various ways that Chinese cinema engages with global politics, market forces, and film cultures, this edited volume places Chinese cinema against an array of contexts informing the contours of Chinese cinema today. The book also demonstrates that Chinese cinema in the global context is informed by the intersections and tensions found in Chinese and world politics, national and international co-productions, the local and global in representing Chineseness, and the lived experiences of social and political movements versus screened politics in Chinese film culture. This work is a pioneer investigation of the topic and will inspire future research by other scholars of film studies.

Full of whimsical ideas, they embody the notion of “all humans are siblings, and all things are companions,” brimming with warmth and compassion. These poems could be described as bright and cheerful, approachable, clever and fluid, humourous, and deep with meaning, written as though the author is able to directly communicate with animals. Overall, they serve as a voice for animals, showing that they are able to coexist equally and peacefully, resulting in a “carnival of animals.” More than twenty young Hong Kong artists and illustrators have been invited to join this project, with each poem accompanie

The Sinological Development Charitable Foundation (SDCF) aspires to help spread 5,000 years of cultural history embedded in the Chinese Classics as a fundamental basis for understanding Chinese civilization. To that end, every year since 2016, the SDCF has provided intensive summer programs by which means scholars from across the globe are brought together in situ (in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and mainland China) to learn together and share their research into some of the most important topics in Chinese Studies.

Masculinity, fast-changing and regularly declared to be in the throes of crisis, is attracting more popular and scholarly debate in China than ever before. At the same time, Chinese literature since 1989 has been characterized as brimming with countercultural ‘attitude’. This book probes the link between literary rebellion and manhood in China, showing how male writers, as they critique the outcomes of decades of market reform, also ask the same question: how best to be a man in the new postsocialist order? In this first full-length discussion of masculinity in post-1989 Chinese literature, Pamela Hunt offers a detailed analysis of four contemporary authors in particular: Zhu Wen, Feng Tang, Xu Zechen, and Han Han. In a series of insightful readings, she explores how all four writers show the same preoccupation with the figure of the man on the edges of society. Drawing on longstanding Chinese and global models of maverick and marginal masculinity, and responding to a desire to retain

Sir Robert Ho Tung (1862–1954) is a compelling figure in Hong Kong history. He is regularly portrayed as the colony’s greatest philanthropist and wealthiest man of his day, the first Chinese to live on the Peak, and, at the end of his life, the ‘Grand Old Man of Hongkong’. The illegitimate son of a Chinese mother and European father, he was highly sensitive about his mixed heritage though he consistently made the most of his fate. He was a man perfectly in tune with his place and time, his success driven as much by his entrepreneurial talents as by his being Eurasian. This book shows him in all his immense variety—clerk with the Imperial Maritime Customs, chief compradore of Jardine Matheson, financial wizard, husband and lover, patriarch of a large family of five sons and eight daughters, loyal British subject but also, paradoxically, Chinese patriot. China’s president Yuan Shikai awarded him the Order of the Excellent Crop, and King George V knighted him. May Holdsworth’s thoughtful

This book, Chiang Yee and His Circle: Chinese Artistic and Intellectual Life in Britain, 1930–1950, celebrates the life and work of Chiang Yee (1903–1977), a Chinese writer, poet, and painter who made his home in London, England during the 1930s and 1940s. It examines Chiang’s relationship with his circle of friends and colleagues in the English capital, and assesses the work he produced during his sojourn there. This edited volume, with contributions from eleven distinguished scholars, tells a story of a Chinese intellectual community in London that up to now has been largely overlooked. It portrays a dynamic picture of the London-based émigré life during the years that led up to the war and during the conflict that was the catalyst for many of them moving on. In addition, the book broadens our understanding of cultural interactions between China and the West in Hampstead, one of the most vibrant artistic communities in London.

The ultimate goal of this thesis is to construct an optimal global portfolio with ETFs. We choose the iShares MSCI country index ETFs as our assets. We start with the calculation of correlation between these countries. We find out that there is potential benefit undertaking international diversification. While comparing with the former research, the potential benefit is smaller. We examine the effect of investing internationally of each country. And we can see that not all countries are benefit from international diversification. While considering international diversification, investors have to look at the characteristic of the domestic country to make decision. In the international level, we can see that the investment risk would decrease and the return would increase. And the marginal effect decreases. In our test, the return, risk and efficiency come stable after adding the 14th asset into the global portfolio. Therefore we construct our global portfolio with 13 assets. We can see

English novelist E.M. Forster wrote his last and best-loved work, A Passage to India, both as a paean to his love for India and as a tribute to the relationships he formed with Indians. Forster became entranced by the India of the Raj at a young age, and his love affair with the sub-continent, its princes, and peoples, was to last all his life. At his most socially transgressive, it was with Indians that Forster chose to connect and with whom he put into effect his belief in man’s duty to value friendship over state or ideology. His time in India was undoubtedly when he was at his most human and most vulnerable. At once a contemporary reflection on India’s rich history and a biographical retelling of Forster’s travels through the country in the early 1900s, Developing the Heart delves into the past to better understand the profound impact certain events and people had on his writing. In doing so, it allows readers to look on as Forster matures and softens over time in his behaviour

The crisis of masculinity surfaced and converged with the crisis of the nation in the late Qing, after the doors of China were forced open by Opium Wars. The power of physical aggression increasingly overshadowed literary attainments and became a new imperative of male honor in the late Qing and early Republican China. Afflicted with anxiety and indignation about their increasingly effeminate image as perceived by Western colonial powers, Chinese intellectuals strategically distanced themselves from the old literati and reassessed their positions vis-à-vis violence. In Mastery of Words and Swords: Negotiating Intellectual Masculinities in Modern China, 1890s–1930s, Jun Lei explores the formation and evolution of modern Chinese intellectual masculinities as constituted in racial, gender, and class discourses mediated by the West and Japan. This book brings to light a new area of interest in the “Man Question” within gender studies in which women have typically been the focus. To fully r
