Measuring community happiness in Hong Kong : Sham Shui Po and Tin Shui Wai
No full textThere are 18 Districts in Hong Kong and studies through subjective assessment have found that there is deviation in the level of happiness across Districts. In particularly, Sham Shui Po, in Kowloon, and Tin Shui Wai, part of Yuen Long District in the New Territories, are being labelled as City of Sadness.
This research is consisted of two parts, quantitative approach - Objective measures and quantitative approach – Questionnaire, to analyze the causes of Sham Shui Po and Tin Shui Wai being labelled as City of Sadness objectively and subjectively and to explore whether there is any difference on the thought of City of Sadness between people living in or outside the districts.
For part 1 of quantitative approach – objective measures, based on data from 2016 Population By-census and other secondary data, potential variables were identified, and correlation and regression analysis were conducted. It is found that there are characteristics affecting the level of sadness, causing Sham Shui Po District and Tin Shui Wai being labelled as City of Sadness, but in general, there are not significant factors that can be generalized as the cause of labelling. If restricting the study area down to Sham Shui Po Region, though, the concentration of population with higher education level as well as low-income families are found significant.
For part 2 of quantitative approach – questionnaire, similar to the results in part 1, it is found that some characteristics in Sham Shui Po and Tin Shui Wai cause respondents agreeing these two areas as City of Sadness, but it is not conclusive as only a third of respondents in general agreed the statement. It is also identified that there is different point of views on the neighbourhoods, particularly for the aspect of Tin Shui Wai, between insiders and outsiders.
Undoubtedly, there are problems in Sham Shui Po and Tin Shui Wai with people in need of assistance, but the findings confirmed Sham Shui Po and Tin Shui Wai to be labelled as City of Sadness is controversial. Therefore, it should always bear in mind that if assistances not promptly and precisely, anywhere in Hong Kong can be a City of Sadness.published_or_final_versionHousing ManagementMasterMaster of Housing Managemen

Clinical Utility of a Commercial LAM-ELISA Assay for TB Diagnosis in HIV-Infected Patients Using Urine and Sputum Samples
Full text linkBackground: The accurate diagnosis of TB in HIV-infected patients, particularly with advanced immunosuppression, is difficult. Recent studies indicate that a lipoarabinomannan (LAM) assay (Clearview-TB (R)-ELISA) may have some utility for the diagnosis of TB in HIV-infected patients; however, the precise subgroup that may benefit from this technology requires clarification. The utility of LAM in sputum samples has, hitherto, not been evaluated.Methods: LAM was measured in sputum and urine samples obtained from 500 consecutively recruited ambulant patients, with suspected TB, from 2 primary care clinics in South Africa. Culture positivity for M. tuberculosis was used as the reference standard for TB diagnosis.Results: Of 440 evaluable patients 120/387 (31%) were HIV-infected. Urine-LAM positivity was associated with HIV positivity (p = 0.007) and test sensitivity, although low, was significantly higher in HIV-infected compared to uninfected patients (21% versus 6%; p<0.001), and also in HIV-infected participants with a CD4 <200 versus <200 cells/mm(3) (37% versus 0%; p = 0.003). Urine-LAM remained highly specific in all 3 subgroups (95%-100%). 25% of smear-negative but culture-positive HIV-infected patients with a CD4 <200 cells/mm(3) were positive for urine-LAM. Sputum-LAM had good sensitivity (86%) but poor specificity (15%) likely due to test cross-reactivity with several mouth-residing organisms including actinomycetes and nocardia species.Conclusions: These preliminary data indicate that in a high burden primary care setting the diagnostic usefulness of urine-LAM is limited, as a rule-in test, to a specific patient subgroup i.e. smear-negative HIV-infected TB patients with a CD4 count <200 cells/mm(3), who would otherwise have required further investigation. However, even in this group sensitivity was modest. Future and adequately powered studies in a primary care setting should now specifically target patients with suspected TB who have advanced HIV infection

No full textLing Hon Lam encourages us to think of emotions in terms of space; when we sympathize with a character in a play or feel something for another person, that emotion takes place, for it moves us outside ourselves. In Chinese this relation between space and emotion is described by the term qingjing; a scenery of feeling or in Ling’s translation an “emotion-realm”
