Chinese literary works translated into Baba Malay: a bibliographical study
No full textAnalyses 68 unique titles of Baba translated works published between 1889 and 1950. The titles are held in the libraries of the University of Malaya (UM), Science University Malaysia (USM), National University of Malaysia (UKM), the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP), National University of Singapore (NUS), National Library of Singapore (NLS) and the British Library (BL). The results reveal three periods of active publication of Baba translated works. A total of 18 works were translated before World War I, followed by 10 just after the war, 39 titles were published before the break of the World War II and 1 was identified in 1950. There were 103 persons involved in the 68 translated works, some of whom are responsible for more than one title. The most prominent translators were Chan Kim Boon, Wan Boon Seng, Seow Chin San and Lee Seng Poh. Some of the translators were also be editors, illustrators or editors. There were 31 publishers and 21 printing presses involved, all were located in Singapore. The most active publishers were Wan Boon Seng, Kim Seck Chy Press and Nanyang Romanised Malay Book Co. The translated works mainly cover historical classical Chinese stories, chivalrous stories, romances, folklore and legends. The titles were priced between 10 cents to 2 dollars in Straits currency. The University of Malaya Library held the largest number of unique title (62) out of which 15 were unique titles

When The Tide Recedes: a photographic sojourn along the Singapore River.
No full textThis report has been compiled to show why we have chosen Singapore River as the subject or theme of our project, an overview of the pre-production and production process, to explainthe decisions for the images selected and manner of presentation, and to reflect and evaluate the lessons - both good and bad - learnt from the course of working on this project.Bachelor of Communication Studie
A comparative analysis of transcribed genes in the mouse hypothalamus and neocortex reveals chromosomal clustering
No full textThe hypothalamus and neocortex are subdivisions of the mammalian forebrain, and yet, they have vastly different evolutionary histories, cytoarchitecture, and biological functions. In an attempt to define these attributes in terms of their genetic activity, we have compared their genetic repertoires by using the Serial Analysis of Gene Expression database. From a comparison of 78,784 hypothalamus tags with 125,296 neocortical tags, we demonstrate that each structure possesses a different transcriptional profile in terms of gene ontological characteristics and expression levels. Despite its more recent evolutionary history, the neocortex has a more complex pattern of gene activity. Gene identities and levels of gene expression were mapped to their chromosomal positions by using in silico definition of GC-rich and GC-poor genome bands. This analysis shows contrasting views of gene activity on a genome scale that is unique to each brain substructure. We show that genes that are more highly expressed in one tissue tend to be clustered together on a chromosomal scale, further defining the genetic identity of either the hypothalamus or neocortex. We propose that physical proximity of coregulated genes may facilitate transcriptional access to the genetic substrates of evolutionary selection that ultimately shape the functional subdivisions of the mammalian brain
Don't assume, be assured : don't be a fool, check your poo
No full textThis paper discusses Don’t Assume, Be Assured (DABA), a health communication campaign targeted at Singaporeans and PRs in their forties to promote earlier detection of colorectal cancer. As governmental and institutional efforts are largely targeted towards the most at-risk group of those above the age of 50, younger Singaporeans remain unaware of their increasing risk of developing colorectal cancer.
In a bid to equip this group with means to better identify possible signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer, DABA was kickstarted by four final-year students from the Wee Kim Wee School of Communication and Information, Nanyang Technological University, to raise awareness about the rising incidence of colorectal cancer among Singaporeans below the age of 50, as well as to encourage the adoption of stool checking to aid in spotting potential signs and symptoms of the cancer.
Three-quarters of colorectal cancer cases in those under the age of 50 fall within ages 40 to 49. As such, by encouraging regular stool checks and visiting a general physician when faced with any anomalies in their stools, DABA also highlighted the importance of keeping one’s health in check instead of brushing off potential symptoms. Guided by the Health Belief Model, DABA sought to increase levels of Perceived Susceptibility, benefits, and Self-efficacy among our target audience to spur the uptake of this behaviour.
This paper details the campaign’s process, which includes formative research, strategic development, campaign execution, and evaluation. Further recommendations for future campaigns based on insights gained from DABA are also discussed at the end of this paper.Bachelor of Communication Studie
