The Placemakers of Hong Kong pays homage to what local development companies, charitable organizations, as well as the government have been able to achieve in contributing to the enhancement of Hong Kong’s evolving urban and rural landscape. Far from being solely profit-driven, developers and urban planners have been vital to the community by creating and designing urban spaces for the public, increasing walkability, and embracing sustainable design—a process called ‘placemaking’. The book also recognizes that just as important are the subsequent placekeeping activities necessary to keep each project site relevant and up-to-date. Featuring five case studies from the past and one that examines the ambitious and far-reaching plans for the Northern Metropolis, this book tells the story of Hong Kong’s miraculous urban development over the past few decades.

DevOps與後端系統建置必修技能！ 鑒於前後端分離與微服務架構的興起，伺服器端需要提供API供用戶端存取。傳統的SOAP協定是以複雜的XML作為傳送媒介，已經逐漸被使用輕量化JSON傳送資訊的REST API取代，成為開發與建置API的主流。 除此之外，API的開發和上線應用，效率與品質應該兼顧。透過DevOps流程結合開發、測試、營運，可以更快地將新增或修正的功能發佈給使用者；在這樣的環節中，自動化測試至關重要。 本書第一部分介紹Java的單元測試框架如JUnit5、Mockito、PowerMock，並探討如何提升程式的可測試性。 第二部分先介紹REST API的概念與背景。在使用Spring Boot建置初版REST API後，逐章示範API的例外處理、Swagger文件說明、版本控制、分頁與排序、與套用HATEOAS等。 最後結合Spring Test模組對REST API進行單元測試、整合測試、與端對端測試，以期產出符合企業品質與效率的REST API。

Originating from a genuine need of the secondary school teachers of English in Hong Kong to understand what it means to implement a task-based curriculum in the English classroom, this book aims to support and empower frontline ELT teachers in implementing a task-based approach systematically without losing sight of the importance of grammar teaching within the framework of tasks. Useful examples are provided to illustrate how grammar teaching can be conducted through meaningful tasks in authentic contexts. The importance of viewing assessment as an integral part of the learning, teaching and assessment cycle is also discussed with practical suggestions on developing assessment tasks and assessment assessment criteria provided. In the form of a self-learning package, this book can be readily used for independent self-study or as a school-based staff-development programme run by teachers themselves. Student-teachers of English, teacher educators and curriculum developers will also find

Moving Forward Together with ESG and USR Partners Every inch of national park land presents a golden opportunity for businesses to realize its ESG goals. Labor shortages are currently regarded as one of the greatest challenges for Taiwanese enterprises. However, recent climate changes have also caused crises such as work stoppages, flooding, fires, and raw material shortages. Businesses must treat environmental protection and biodiversity preservation as issues just as critical as solving labor shortages; we all need to step up the pace in realizing the SDGs. In 2015, the United Nations launched the 2030 SDGs. These serve as a beacon guiding the world toward sustainability. Taiwan’s national park system encompasses nearly 25.4% of Taiwan’s land and marine areas, and is tasked with protecting a range of resources including alpine and low-elevation mountains, marine ecosystems, wetlands, volcanic landscapes, and cultural resources. Taiwan’s park system diversely and comprehensively a

◎A heartwarming story about curiosity, kindness, and loving your mother. ◎Perfect for parents and children to share and experience the sweetness of family love. In a small house on a green hill, live two adorable and silly groundhog siblings. They dislike vegetables for breakfast, but they absolutely adore the cookies from their mother's bakery! The siblings steal an entire plate of cookies, sparking a hilarious and chaotic baking adventure for the groundhogs. They forget to divide the dough, resulting in a massive cookie that surprises and delights their mother...

The rulers of the Ming dynasty enacted paradigms of hierarchical order. Like imperial families, households, and courts in earlier Chinese dynasties, they articulated patriarchal, patrilineal, and patrilocal organizational principles as exemplars for families and institutions throughout the empire. Women made indispensable contributions to the development of these paradigms and principles and to the social, cultural, and political fabric of the family and the state. And yet, in the existing literature in Chinese and English women are often burdened with stereotypes, positioned as peripheral, or rendered almost invisible. Reading available texts “against the grain,” and drawing on a trove of evidence from material culture, Soulliere shows how women defined a place for themselves in the multigenerational Ming imperial family, imperial household, and court. The Empress and the Dragon Throne spans the first Ming century from just before the founding of the dynasty in 1368 to the end of the

Although the arts have been firmly planted in the Hong Kong school system since the 1950s, they are often sacrificed in place of core subjects and preparation for examinations. Drawing on over fourteen years of exploration and experience, Yau makes the case that arts are critical to cultivating creative mindsets, which are our best resource for innovating and responding to challenges in this complex world of sudden changes. Through case studies and conversations with practising artists and educators, this book demonstrates why arts and education, two normally discrete disciplines, should be broadly integrated into the local Hong Kong curriculum, and how this can be – and has been – achieved. This book is intended for policymakers, educators, arts heads, and artists. The volume will also appeal to readers curious about how and why the arts should be foundational to education and capacity building in the twenty-first century.

This book features five theme-based units on cross-disciplinary academic English skills, focusing on the needs of first-year undergraduate students. Each unit covers academic writing, reading, and speaking skills. The units progressively take students through the steps needed to complete three common academic assignments: the essay, report, and tutorial discussion. These steps include searching for quality sources, note-taking, establishing a critical stance, formulating evidence-based arguments, synthesizing information from multiple sources, and structuring academic texts. Each unit also provides opportunities for students to analyse texts, apply their critical thinking skills, practise what they have learnt in productive tasks, and reflect upon their progress. This book is aimed at first-time university students. Many of the readings are related to China and a broader Asian context. As such, it appeals to first-year university students in Hong Kong, Mainland China, and Taiwan.

Established in 2004, the Department was formed through the merger of the Territory Development Department and the Civil Engineering Department.

Mindfulness and meditation, practices that are rooted in Buddhism, have become mainstream treatments in counseling and psychotherapy that provide evidence of successful outcomes among secular clients. However, for clients from non-Western backgrounds, dissociating mindfulness practice from the core Buddhist teachings can dilute the transformative power of these practices, causing cultural confusion and lowering the effectiveness of treatment. This book is the first to present Early Buddhist Teachings as a theoretical orientation for the millions of individuals affiliated with Buddhism to create a culturally congruent counseling model. Using original sources in Pāli, it explores key Buddhist concepts such as dependent co-arising, non-self, impermanence, and many others. The authors then compare them with Western psychological concepts, furthering ongoing dialogue between Buddhism and psychotherapy and fostering powerful integrations. This volume also demonstrates how to use the Buddhi

封面故事 DevSecOps實踐安全左移 從開發到部署內建資安機制　敏捷速度與風險控管兼顧 文◎洪羿漣 面對近年頻傳的供應鏈攻擊與開源套件風險，企業軟體安全已不再只是資安部門的責任，而是整體開發流程不可或缺的基礎。傳統DevOps雖能提升開發與部署效率，卻因資安措施多集中於末端檢測，使得漏洞常在產品上線後才被發現，甚至造成實際損害。對此，DevSecOps已逐漸成為企業強化資安治理的關鍵策略。 DevSecOps強調不僅在開發初期即導入安全設計理念，更透過自動化工具與平台整合，把靜態程式碼分析（SAST）、動態弱點掃描（DAST）、開源元件組成分析（SCA）及安全政策遵循等機制，嵌入CI/CD軟體生命週期循環之中。此策略有助於降低因人力疏漏或工具碎片化所帶來的風險，同時也讓安全控管由事後補救轉為事前預防。 更進一步的發展則體現在流程平台化與AI輔助的落實上。透過標準化的工具鏈整合、即時弱點修補技術，以及AI驅動的修正建議回饋機制，開發團隊能在維持敏捷速度的同時，精準掌握安全風險與修復優先級。這種安全與效率兼備的設計邏輯，不僅回應了數位轉型下對開發速度與品質並重的需求，也為軟體供應鏈防禦力奠定更穩固的基礎。 專題報導 智慧辦公場域　掀溝通革命 數位轉型促使傳統協作式微　AI扮演智慧大腦傳承經驗 文◎余采霏 過去幾年，在新冠疫情以及數位科技的進步下，人們的工作模式開始產生了變革，從實體辦公大幅轉向遠距工作，然後進入到混合的工作模式，員工可以依據自己的工作任務來選擇合適的工作地點。儘管近年來企業鼓勵或要求員工重返辦公室，但運用科技與空間的規劃設計以形塑更有效率以及生產力的辦公室樣貌早已經內化成為工作日常，例如電子簽呈、電子公文或是結合機器人流程自動化（RPA）的人機協作，在在都在改變著員工的工作體驗。 事實上，疫後企業數位轉型腳步還在不斷加速，特別是在近年來快速蓬勃發展的AI技術驅動下，辦公室的工作模式也不斷朝向智慧化演進，有了智慧的大腦，不管是知識經驗的傳承或是對外服務都有更顯著的效益。而另一方面，科技也在協助企業善盡綠色永續與社會責任，不只是節省紙張用量，那些無法透過電子化精省的紙張，現在也有機會透過種樹計劃減碳，進而為地球盡一份心力。 從數位化、數位優化到數位轉型，傳統以紙張為核心的溝通模式正在大幅地轉向透過數位工具與AI來達到更有效的溝通協作

The Glasgow Climate Pact signed on the 26th Conference of the Parties of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in 2021, saws representatives' determination for carbon neutrality by 2050. Meanwhile, "Net Zero by 2050: a Roadmap for the Global Energy Sector" proposed by International Energy Agency has suggested hydrogen as a decarbonization technology in various fields. As a clean, stable power with diverse sources, hydrogen provides a promising solution for energy, industry, and transportation, making hydrogen economy a prominent international topic, prompted developed countries actively investing in hydrogen technologies, setting out development pathways, offering policies and subsidies for short, mid and long-term goals. With net-zero by 2050 commitment, Taiwan introduced its goals in 2021, followed by "Taiwan's Pathway to Net-Zero Emissions in 2050" proposed by the National Development Council in 2022, unveiling a cross-ministerial aggregate strategy.

Highlighting original case studies from prominent Asian societies, including India, China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan, this book sheds much-needed light on the de-Westernisation and internationalisation of celebrity studies and is essential reading for scholars and students in celebrity, fandom, digital media and communication, and cultural studies.

Revitalization in Asia: Adaptive Reuse in Macao, Mumbai, and Penang offers a clear understanding of the value of sustainable adaptive reuse within an Asian context. Three highly urbanized places (Macao, Mumbai, and Penang) are considered in detail from conservation and planning perspectives (with essays and timelines for each). For each place, five case studies offer a comparative framework for understanding similarities and differences in adaptive reuse projects. Six essays examine adaptive reuse in terms of its connection to the three dimensions of sustainability, with reference to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. This book is envisioned as a continuation of Asian Revitalization: Adaptive Reuse in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Singapore.

In an epic historical story that talks directly to our times, Cross and Dragon dramatizes the life of one of the most famous Western figures in China: Italian Jesuit Matteo Ricci. Sent by the Pope in the late 16th century to convert the Chinese Emperor, Ricci was faced with a “mission impossible” as China in the Ming Dynasty did not allow foreigners to enter the country. Initially, dressed like a Buddhist monk, he slipped into the country, where he impressed everyone he met with his secret weapons: remarkable memory techniques and the latest Western science. He stayed for 30 years. During this time, his journey took him from southern China and rural life to the mesmerizing city of Nanking and on to Peking, where he eventually had an office in the Forbidden City. Through his belief in cultural engagement rather than military confrontation, he opened new doors for East–West understanding.

In Socializing Medicine, Pao-chen Tang, Yuqian Yan, and Ling Zhang explore the intersections of medicine, health, and East Asian media. Interweaving archival research, audiovisual analyses, and theoretical insights from the emerging field of health humanities, the book reveals the multifaceted ways in which the mass media—from photography and film to television and live streaming—has been deployed as a tool for controlling medicine and health, privileging those with power and authority from the early twentieth century to the present. Adopting anti-colonial and anti-capitalist perspectives, the contributors in this volume challenge the dominant mediations of health against the backdrop of imperialism, Cold War geopolitical tensions, and neoliberal capitalism. Collectively, they advocate for alternative understandings of medical culture through media productions that envision accessible and equitable healthcare practices.

Hong Kong and Macau have both been Special Administrative Regions of China since 1999. To this day, however, the two SARs and mainland China have yet to form a cohesive agreement for extradition. Yanhong Yin proposes a theoretical model—the China Arrest Warrant—that fulfils three essential criteria: compliance with the framework of “One Country, Two Systems,” allowance for differences within the three divergent legal systems, and sufficient human rights protection. This model takes direct inspiration from the European Arrest Warrant, which is undergirded by the principle of mutual recognition—the idea that while states may make different decisions on a wide range of matters, results will be accepted as equivalent to decisions made by one’s own state. The success of the European Union’s adoption of mutual recognition across political, economic, and legal situations is instrumental in providing a blueprint for judicial cooperation among mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR. Th

Benny Chia’s memoir of life on the fringe is a vivacious slice of Hong Kong’s life and cultural development at a time of minimal institutional support. His colourful and anecdotal story will interest culture practitioners as well as the general reader curious about the Fringe Club and its role as a seedbed for local artists and as a venue for international ones, both functions championed by Benny at the helm of this small but important institution housed in a distinctive former ice house in Central.

"My Journey to the West was inspired by my father, uncles and grandfather’s ventures to the Gold Mountain at a very young age. I had already made up my mind that I would follow their paths and embark on this adventurous journey when I grew up and searched for my own fortune." ：Brian Wong 黃榮富 From a small village to the west. From a fish pond to Hong Kong. Across the ocean to the port city of Liverpool... The story of searching for Gold Mountain started with a little boy, Brian Wong, who was living in Kaiping City, a small village in China. Brian Wong knew that one day he would embark on this perilous journey—language difficulties, prejudice—but owing to his endurance and hardworking spirit, he overcame. Follow the steps of his ancestors to achieve his dream of a golden mountain. It is a story about Brian Wong and all the overseas Chinese.
