Hong Kong cinema 1982-2002 : the quest for identity during transition
No full textElectronic redacted version excludes material for which permission has not been granted by the rights holderThis thesis seeks to interpret the cinematic representations of Hong Kongers’ identity quest during a transitional state/stage related to the sovereignty transfer. The Handover transition considered is an ideological one, rather than the overnight polity change on the Handover day. This research approaches contemporary Hong Kong cinema on two fronts and the thesis is structured accordingly: Upon an initial review of the existing Hong Kong film scholarship in the Introduction, and its 1997-related allegorical readings, Part I sees new angles (previously undeveloped or underdeveloped) for researching Hong Kong films made during 1982-2002. Arguments are built along the ideas of Hong Kongers’ situational, diasporic consciousness, and transformed ‘Chineseness’ because Hong Kong has lacked a cultural/national centrality. This part of research is informed by the ideas of Jacques Derrida, Homi Bhabha and Stuart Hall, and the diasporic experiences of Ien Ang, Rey Chow and Ackbar Abbas. With these new research angles and references to the circumstances, Part II reads critically the text of eight Hong Kong films made during the Handover transition. In chronological order, they are Boat People (Hui, 1982), Song of the Exile (Hui, 1990), Days of Being Wild (Wong, 1990), Happy Together (Wong, 1997), Made in Hong Kong (Chan, 1997), Ordinary Heroes (Hui, 1999), Durian Durian (Chan, 2000), and Hollywood Hong Kong (Chan, 2002). They meet several criteria related to the undeveloped / underdeveloped areas in the existing Hong Kong film scholarship. Hamid Naficy’s ‘accented cinema’ paradigm gives the guidelines to the film analysis in Part II. This part shows that Hong Kongers’ self-transformation during transition is alterable, indeterminate, and interminable, due to the people’s situational, diasporic consciousness, and transformed ‘Chineseness’. This thesis thus contributes to Hong Kong cinema scholarship in interpreting films with new research angles, and generating new insights into this cinematic tradition and its wider context

Distributed beamforming in man portable communication networks
No full textThe advancement in communication and networking technologies lead to the emergence of network centric systems adopted by military forces. Many military forces around the world are equipping their ground soldiers with "man portable" or "mobile" wireless communication devices to form a local communication network as part of the overarching communication network for information warfare. In a non-line of sight environment, the devices' communication range to the base station degrades significantly. The research objective is to examine collaborative beamforming man portable wireless communication networks in a non-ideal propagation operation environment such as in a terrain with foliage. Using distributed beamforming techniques with wireless radios, the communication range can be increased to overcome foliage attenuation and other losses. Seasonal foliage effects on the wireless network were considered in the study. Wireless beamforming strategies were devised and an analysis of system performance and tradeoffs was conducted. System synchronization of the wireless collaborative communication network is a major challenge due to the lack of fixed infrastructure and the dynamic topology of the network. Two network synchronization schemes: mutual synchronization and master-slave synchronization were investigated. Finally, an analysis of phase errors, which affect the gains achieved by distributed beamforming, was performed.Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.Singapore Technologies Kinetics Ltd author (civilian).http://archive.org/details/distributedbeamf10945306
Social work intervention in health care : the Hong Kong scene
No full textIn the present health care system, the psychological and social needs of patients and their families are much neglected. This book recognizes the importance of the psychosocial aspects of health and illness and aims to provide relevant theories and practice guidelines for social work intervention in hospitals, clinics, welfare agencies and community settingsSocial workers in general ' not just medical social workers' are often confronted with health-related issues. This book also recognizes the needs of these practitioners in terms of background medical knowledge and concepts of stress and coping. Readers are therefore introduced to skills and approaches for working with different target groups in the health care system, such as the psycho- educational approach, life-skills training, reminiscence therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, discharge planning and health promotionThis book contains chapters on mental health, social and medical issues such as suicide, teenage pregnancy, drug abuse and occupational health, as well as on the disease groups of cancer, chronic renal failure, epilepsy, stroke and brain injurypublished_or_final_versionList of figures pixList of tables pxiPreface pxvAcknowledgements / Chan, Lai-wan, Cecilia pxviiContributors pxixIndex p407Sect.I Theory and practice of social work in health care p1Sect.II Crisis intervention and stress management p39Sect.III Developement and coping enhancement p105Sect.IV Skills training and cognitive rehabilitation p177Sect.V Empowerment and self-help p257Sect.VI Resource mobilization and system change p315Ch.1 Introduction / Chan, Lai-wan, Cecilia p3Ch.2 Foundation knowledge for the health care social worker in Hong Kong / Ma, Lai-chong, Joyce p23Ch.3 Helping teenage girls face the multiple crises of unwed motherhood / Tai, Yau-yee, Lianne p41Ch.4 An integrative approach to managing suicidal crisis / Li, Shing-fu p59Ch.5 Stress management for cancer patients: a psycho- educational-support group / Leung, Piu-yu, Pamela p85Ch.6 Growth through coping: a developmental perspective on social work practice with parents of handicapped children / Leung, Yin-ling, Anna p107Ch.7 Getting to know the world: growing up with chronic illness / Ng, Ho-yee p123Ch.8 Working with epileptic children and their families / Lam, Oi-bing, Debbie p141Ch.9 Biopsychosocial approach in working with psychotropic substance abusers / Chan, Kin-yi, Ivy p163Ch.10 Social skills training for psychiatric patients: the case of schizophrenics in Hong Kong / Tsang, Kit-man, Sandra p179Ch.11 Reminiscence groups for institutionalized elderly people in Hong Kong: a practice model / Chong, Ming-lin, Alice p195Ch.12 The community as therapist: working with women addicts in Hong Kong / Soo, Kam-hing, Rosanna p219Ch.13 Rehabilitation of cognitive functioning of patients with traumatic brain injury / Man, Wai-kwong, David p235Ch.14 Social action approach in empowerment of persons with end stage renal disease / Wong, Kam-bun, Donna p259Ch.15 Empowerment for persons of diabetes / Tong, Choi- ying p279Ch.16 Self-help group for parents of children with cooley's anaemia / Liu, Yee-wah, Eva p295Ch.17 Family care in schizophrenia: an undervalued resource / Pearson, Veronica p317Ch.18 Discharge planning for cerebro-vascular accident patients / Lam, Chu-lee, Zarina p337Ch.19 Strategies and processes of policy change in rehabilitation / Kong, Siu-hong p353Ch.20 Macro-practice in health care - application of policy change model for silicosis victims / Chan, Kan-kam p267Ch.21 Promoting oral health through primary health care in Tai O / Lo, Chin-man, Edward p38
