MLK 2017|18: Lee Mun Wah
No full textMLK 2017|18 Visiting Speaker, Chinese American documentary film maker, author, poet, Asian storyteller, educator and community therapist Lee Mun Wah leads multiple events including the workshop An Unfinished Conversation: Diversity Conversations in the Classroom , the student dinner/dialogue How to Have a Dialogue Across Cultures , the lecture Only A World Away! and the lecture/film screening If These Halls Could Talk . It is Lee Mun Wah’s belief that we cannot wait until tomorrow for some charismatic leader to appear who will bring us all together. We each must take a stand and personally participate in this important journey of confronting our fears and beginning a conversation not only with those we love but also with those we have been taught to fear. We cannot continue being separate and unequal without there being a cost to each and every generation. Our survival and the very future of our children depend on all of us embracing our differences as well as our mutuality. If we can accomplish this in our lifetime, we can then look back and know that we have found a way to live together authentically and harmoniously, using and honoring all of our gifts and special contributions. To Lee Mun Wah, that is the true meaning of multiculturalism. - Stirfry Seminars and Consulting

Project management case study - development of iron ore processing plant / Yap Park Wah
No full textProject management is an adaptive and practical approach to be implemented for any project conducted by any organization despite the industry, size and sector. It’s the project manager’s responsibility to identify the project problem statement at hand and adapt the appropriate project management approach to guide the project to success. In this dissertation, as a part of the project team, the author aimed to develop the iron ore processing plant using project management approaches within the allocated budget and time. Apart from setting the project planning framework, the project team were tasked to monitor the project changes that occurred throughout the project execution time frame. In this case study, the author investigated the project management framework and methodology applied in the identified project integration management. The project team analyzed and constructed the project charter, management plan, project scope and cost to outline the project schedule required for project initiation. Project controlling were conducted with the aid of project management software to ensure the project was executed efficiently. Engineering design process were implemented during the project change proposed by the engineering team to increase the efficiency of the iron ore processing plant. As a result, it can be concluded that the ongoing project conducted by the project team is on track for success due to the effective project management approaches implemented

Hawthorne’s Unsympathetic Gaze: Unmasking Hester Prynne in the Eyes of Nathaniel Hawthorne
No full textA lot of attention is paid to how Nathaniel Hawthorne treats Hester Prynne, who is the main character in "The Scarlet Letter." It's important for us to understand why Hawthorne's look is so cold and how the story's lack of care is built into the story itself. Hawthorne, who wrote Hester's story, makes it hard to tell the difference between how people really feel and how they show it to the public. The author's lack of care and mental distance seems to be what's wrong with the character. We read a lot of academic writing to help us figure out how this relationship works. We can learn a lot about how the author thinks about his work as it changes over time from these different points of view. By putting together different points of view, we want to show how Hawthorne's cold gaze affects the story and how it changes how readers see Hester. We want to give you a fuller picture of Hawthorne's troubled relationship with Hester Prynne by looking closely at different pieces of writing and critical analysis. By using different academic points of view in this way, we can better understand how complicated the relationship is between the author and the character in "The Scarlet Letter." This study looks at the idea that Hawthorne looked at Hester with a cold gaze. This helps us understand how complicated the book is and what the author's lack of emotion means in a bigger sense
Conflict, co-existence and continuity: Chinese versus Western medicine in Hong Kong : the case of Kwong Wah Hospital (1910s to 1940s)
No full textPh.D.This thesis discusses the adaptation and evolution of Western medicine in the Hong Kong Chinese community through the case of a Chinese hospital, Kwong Wah Hospital. The research outcomes provide insights to understanding public health governance of the Hong Kong colonial government as well as cultural conflicts between Chinese and Western medicine in Hong Kong society.Large volumes and consistent historical materials were made available by the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals Archives, such as minutes of the board of directors of Tung Wah and Kwong Wah Hospital, minutes of the Tung Wah Hospital Medical Committee, annual reports of Tung Wah Hospital and Kwong Wah Hospital, and correspondence of the Tung Wah Group of hospitals. These materials are indispensable for the study, in particular, the discovery of over 178 volumes of Admission and Discharge Registries of Kwong Wah Hospital in 2011 covering the period from 1917 to 1940. These registries, containing the data of 269,431 in-patients, reveal detailed information on all the daily patients admitted to the hospital - records on each patient's name, gender, age, place of dwelling, sickness(s), treatment by either Chinese or Western medicine, and treatment outcome. A picture can be drawn on the composition of the hospital's in-patients, providing useful hints on the changes of Hong Kong's Chinese society and population. Moreover, comparison can be made between Chinese and Western medicine in regard to their effectiveness in treating the same type of sickness.By combining the data from the hospital's registries and the Tung Wah archives, this study reveals the political wrestling between the colonial government and the hospital board in regard to Westernisation of medical treatment in the hospital, as well as the economic, social and public health factors prevailing in Hong Kong during the period from the 1910s to the 1940s.It is believed that Western medicine was introduced to the Hong Kong Chinese community after the outbreak of the bubonic plague in 1894 as evidenced by the colonial government's critical comments against Tung Wah Hospital, which practised Chinese medicine, and the implementation of management policies to promote Western medicine in Kwong Wah Hospital. However, the fluctuating cure rates of Western medical treatments for most of the common diseases of in-patients before 1928 failed to improve the impression of Chinese of Western medicine. Thanks to the comprehensive and valuable data contained in Kwong Wah Hospital's Admission and Discharge Registries, this pioneering work has succeeded in identifying the turning point in popularising Western medicine in the early 1920s. This is a ground-breaking research that allows comparison and analysis of the debate about the effectiveness of Chinese medicine vis-à-vis Western medicine in modern China. The high success rate of Western maternity service altered the Hong Kong Chinese community'sattitude towards Western medicine. It is also important to know that the hospital's management played a leading role in the introduction of Western maternity service as well as promoting its training to the Chinese community.本文以1911年在香港創立的華人醫院一廣華醫院作為研究個案，探討西醫如何被香港華人社群接受、以及其普及化的過程。全文深入分析香港殖民政府的公共衛生政策及中西醫治療所引起的文化衝突等課題。東華文物館所珍藏的豐富文獻檔案，諸如:東華醫院及廣華醫院董事局會議紀錄、東華醫院義務委員會會議紀錄、東華醫院徵信錄、廣華醫院徵信錄、東華醫院往來函件等，都是本研究不可或缺的珍貴材料，當中尤以在2011 年首吹被發現共178 冊的廣華醫院病人入院登記冊至為重要，登記冊記錄了1917 年至1940 年269.431 個病人的資料，包括姓名、性別、年齡、住址、入院病因、入院且期、出院日期、選取中醫抑或西醫治療、醫療成效等，為廣華醫院的入院病人重塑了一幅完整的團像，是觀察同時期香港華人社會結構及人口變化的重要資料，也是比較中西醫療效的關鍵線索。綜合廣華醫院病人入院登記冊、東華醫院檔案及政府檔案資料，本文評估1910 年代至1940年代香港殭民政府推行西醫治療的過程，及其與東華醫院董事局的政治魚力，並審視香港經濟、社會及公共衛生等的發展情況。現存的研究，普遍認為1894年香港爆發的瘟疫是香港政府全面引入西醫的里程碑，因瘟疫爆發後政府猛烈評擊東華醫院，並在廣華醫院大力推行西醫。廣華醫院病人入院登記冊顯示在1928年以前，西醫的療效與中醫不相伯仲，未能說服華人全面接受西醫治療;資料更證明西醫開始被認受的轉換點在1920年代初，為過往分析中西醫成效的爭議提供突破性觀點。研究更提出西醫婦產科的高效治療，是改變華人對西醫的態度的論據。東華醫院董事局所使用的行政策略，是廣華醫院在引進西醫婦產服務及培訓助產士的過程中能肩負領導角色的主因。Lee, Sam Yuen John.Thesis Ph.D. Chinese University of Hong Kong 2018.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 336-352).Abstracts also in Chinese.Title from PDF title page (viewed on 07, January, 2021)
