As groups of “problem cases,” and tried hard to find a matter of fact, the word “ποίμαινω” appears Many New Testament scholars have therapies and solutions, forgetting that they were in the New Testament just four times1: John pointed out that although Jesus used “my individuals created in the image of God. 21:16; Acts 20:28; Ephesians 4:11; and 1 Peter lambs” and “my sheep,” and that in ancient “They are not problems to be fixed, 5:2.

  • Interpretation of Statutory Rules As Application: a Legal Hermeneutics
    INTERPRETATION OF STATUTORY RULES AS APPLICATION: A LEGAL HERMENEUTICS CHRISTOPHER JAMES WALSHAW A thesis for conferral of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. April 2012 i Abstract The thesis critically examines the judicial interpretation of statutory rules, now the source of most of our law. Courts in adopting a traditional two-step approach denoted as prospective interpretation (first ‘understand’ the meaning and then apply that meaning) have promulgated conditions that effectively rewrite statutory rules and limit their accessibility, so presenting a challenge to the separation of powers and to rule of law values. My research critically examines the tenability, completeness and utility of prospective interpretation, in particular by analysis of the work of Neil MacCormick. An alternative approach, denoted as concurrent interpretation: judicial interpretation by correspondence of the words of the rule with the facts of the particular case, is explored. The conceptual legitimacy of, and methods for, concurrent interpretation are found in philosophical hermeneutics and its account of language. The perceived problem that philosophical hermeneutics has nothing to say about method is confronted. By drawing on the work of Arthur Kaufmann, Paul Ricoeur and Jarkko Tontti in particular I introduce a legal hermeneutics as a practice of legal argument in the context of the judicial interpretation of statutory rules. ii Preface The thesis research would not have begun without the encouragement of John Burrows, John Fogarty and Lindsay Trotman. I am grateful to them for this and for sticking with the project right through to completion. John Burrows had taught me as an undergraduate and his knowledge of interpretation is without par in New Zealand.

    Project Number: CXP 1001 The Impact of the 334 Educational Reform on Caritas Institute of Higher Education (CIHE) An Interactive Qualifying Project Report Submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Sponsoring Agency: Caritas Institute of Higher Education, Dr. Reggie Kwan, President Submitted to: On-Site Liaison: Professor Philip Man Wan Tsang, VP (Academic/Research) Project Advisor: R. Creighton Peet, IGSD Department, WPI Project Co-advisor: Andrew Klein, Department of Electrical Engineering, WPI Submitted by: Brendan McLoughlin Paul Moan Giao Tran Date submitted: 05 March 2010 Abstract This project provided recommendations to a tertiary level college, Caritas Institute of Higher Education, to help them navigate Hong Kong’s impending 334 Educational Reform as smoothly as possible. This Reform, to be completed in 2012, will change the curriculum and structure of all Hong Kong secondary schools and will have a direct impact on tertiary level institutions by adding an additional year. Our recommendations were compiled based upon interviews and focus groups with administrators and lecturers at CIHE, and a high school student survey. ii Acknowledgements We would like to thank Caritas Institute of Higher Education (CIHE), Prof. Reggie Kwan, and Prof. Philip Tsang for providing us the opportunity to perform research at their campus. We would not have been able to complete this project without all the help from our on-site liaison Dr. Tsang. We would like to extend a big thank you to all of the CIHE faculty and staff. We also acknowledge the help of Madeline Tsoi and Emil Leung for their help in translating our student survey questionnaire.

  • Anti-China Sentiment and the Rise of Localism in Hong Kong, 1988-Present
    18 • Wittenberg University East Asian Studies Journal View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Wittenberg University: Open Journal Systems A City Redefined: Anti-China Sentiment and the Rise of Localism in Hong Kong, 1988-Present Leon Lam Leon Lam is a student of Binghamton University, State University of New York, where he focuses on East Asian Studies, Political Science, and Cultural Studies. The city of Hong Kong has a radically different history from its mother state, China. The ex-British territory was established in 1843 amidst the Opium War, more than one century before the founding of communist China.29 Along with former Portuguese colony Macau, Hong Kong has a political system and social environment distinct from either Britain or China.30 The status of Special Administrative Region both reflected Hong Kong’s unique past and defined its role in the Chinese state. The historical relationship between Hong Kong and China was largely shaped by foreign policies on both sides.31 Only during the office of Governor Murray MacLehose (1971-82) did the city developed a new identity.32 Following the signing of Sino-British Joint Declaration in 1984, Hong Kong witnessed a transition of power in 1997 from the hands of British to the Chinese rule. The new political reality fundamentally transformed the dynamics of Hong Kong and directly led to the emergence of localist sentiment in the city. 29 C.P.
