Nucleophilic C4-selective (hetero) arylation of pyridines for facile synthesis of heterobiaryls
No full textThe synthesis of heterobiaryl compounds holds significant value in organic chemistry due to their extensive range of applications. Herein, we report a highly efficient strategy for conducting C4-selective (hetero) arylation of pyridines using N-aminopyridinium salts. The reaction proceeds readily at room temperature in the presence of a base, thus eliminating the requirement for catalysts or oxidants. This method allows for the installation of various electron-rich (hetero) aryl groups on pyridines, resulting in the streamlined synthesis of highly valuable C4-(hetero) aryl pyridine derivatives, which are otherwise challenging to acquire via conventional methods. This simple and straightforward method will facilitate access to a range of heterobiaryl compounds thereby promoting their application in various scientific disciplines.

Hong Kong: workfare in the world's freest economy
No full textWorkfare was introduced in many countries to suppress welfare dependency and reduce social security expenditures. However, workfare was launched in Hong Kong when there was only a relatively small social security budget and its citizens still strongly adhered to the ideologies of self-reliance. It was found that workfare has performed several functions in Hong Kong. Firstly, it has forced unemployed claimants to give up benefits so that Hong Kong's social security expenditures can be saved. Secondly, workfare had combined with Hong Kong's semi-democratic polity so that extremely stigmatising welfare measures were implemented. Thirdly, it has pushed poor citizens to the labour market without having any protection over wages and working hours. Thus, the combination of workfare and a semi-democratic polity has successfully suppressed Hong Kong's welfare demands and strengthened its self-help spirit. As a result, Hong Kong's minimal social security scheme and its low tax policy have been maintained
The development of university-level distance education in the context of Hong Kong's transition from a British colony to a special administrative region of China
No full textChina resumed sovereignty over Hong Kong on I July, 1997. After being a British
colony for more than 150 years, Hong Kong became a Special Administrative Region
of China following the "one country, two systems" policy. This dissertation is
concerned with the examination of the market changes in Hong Kong's university
distance education in the transition period.
Information about respondents' demographics, evaluation and intention to pursue
further study through distance education programmes was collected by sending
questionnaires to two types of subject: current students using distance education
programmes and potential adult students in Hong Kong. A total of five groups were
identified as representing the first type of subject: students of the Henley Management
College/Brunel University (UK) - MBA programme, the Curtin University of
Technology - Bachelor of Commerce and Master of Accounting programme
(Australia), and the Open University of Hong Kong - Bachelor of Business
Administration and MBA programmes. The second type of subject comprised Hong
Kong adults who were interested in studying via distance education programmes. One
group of subjects were visitors to the Hong Kong Education Expo 1996, and they
were classified as potential students who wished to study in distance education
programmes in Hong Kong.
All the data were processed using the Statistical Package for Social Science software
programme. The research questions were tackled by the resultant data and analysis.
The important findings obtained from the subjects are:
a) The need for higher-degree-level programmes is very great among Hong Kong's
distance learners. The decision to undertake further study to distance Master
degree level after completing a distance Bachelor degree aptly demonstrates this
situation. Consideration should, therefore, be given to developing distance Master
degree programmes for students currently studying distance Bachelor degree
programmes, and distance Doctorate degree programmes for students currently
studying distance Master degree programmes. The majority of distance students,
particularly at the higher-degree-level, tend to be in the higher-income bracket.
b) Hong Kong adults who are interested in distance education programmes come
from different occupation segments. Their choice of further study varies according
to their needs and occupations. Consideration should be given to repositioning the
current distance education programmes, particularly at Bachelor's degree or
Diploma level. In addition, a segment comprising housewives has been identified
as potential students for Bachelor's degree programmes by this study.
In the further discussion about Hong Kong during the transition period, Fägerlind and
Saha's Dialectical Model is used to examine the development of Hong Kong's higher
education system with three important dimensions: political, economic and social
forces. Finally, this analysis provides three possible alternatives of development for
the integration of Hong Kong's and China's higher education systems in the post-transition
period: "One Country, One System", "One Country, Two Systems", and
"One Country, Many Systems"

Teaching politics: A study of the subject government and public affairs ， in Hong Kong’s schools
No full textGovernment and Public Affairs (GPA), a subject at senior secondary level, was set up in Hong Kong in 1980's, as part of the civic education drive to prepare for the change of sovereignty in 1997. It still is the only subject whose content is entirely about the study of politics and government. This study investigates the perceptions of GPA teachers with regard to how the subject is taught and how the subject may have an impact on the students with regard to the key concerns of civic education m Hong Kong, namely national identity, patriotism, democratic learning and international outlook. It aims at filling the literature gap about the implementation of GPA in schools. Results of the study may also be used as reference when politics is considered as a subject taught in the formal curriculum. Qualitative analysis was used and it was done in the tradition of the grounded theory. GPA teachers and other pertinent parties, namely curriculum planners, public examination setters and the Subject Officer at the Hong Kong Examination and Assessment Authority were interviewed. In line with the tradition of grounded theory, theoretical sampling was used and academics were invited to comment on significant concepts that emerged in the study. The results of the study show that didactic methods are commonly adopted by many teachers and the subject may only have very little or even negative effect on enhancing national identity and patriotism of the students. The subject's contribution to democratic learning and the development of international perspectives in understanding politics is also limited. These need to be understood against an analysis that takes into account milieu, curriculum design and personal beliefs of the teachers. A model is proposed to explain the salient features of the analysis. Based on the findings of the study, recommendations for improving the effectiveness of the subject's delivery are made
'Have you had one today?': Adapting a Japanese probiotic drink for Hong Kong consumers
No full textYakult is one of the most popular probiotic drinks among Asians. The drink was first introduced in the southern Japanese city of Fukuoka in Kyushu in 1935, and the company began its international market expansion as early as 1964 starting from Taiwan. In Hong Kong, Yakult is one of the first Japanese food products that was embraced by Chinese citizens. The company set up its Hong Kong subsidiary in 1969, when there were only 1,156 Japanese nationals in the territory. The main target customers were not Japanese expatriates; but rather colony’s emerging middle class. The 1988 advertising slogan, “Have you had one today?”, was so successful that most Hong Kongers today understand the question as “Have you had your Yakult today?” How did Yakult become a trusted “health drink” that sells more than 200 million bottles a year in Hong Kong? Based on oral history interviews with executives of Yakult Hong Kong, early promotional materials and company documents, this paper considers how the company gradually adapted its Japanese probiotic drink for Hong Kong consumers. I will analyze Yakult Hong Kong’s localization efforts in terms of its distribution method while touching upon branding, sizing, and the company’s human resources management
