To the best of my knowledge and belief, the thesis contains no material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the thesis itself. 31 March 2017 i Abstract Despite growing research focusing on the application of Theatre-in-Education (TIE) in various educational and community settings, limited exploration has been completed on the practice of actors who engage in TIE works. In particular, insufficient attention has been paid to the complex demands this form places on TIE actors and as such, the artistry required of them. This thesis addresses these gaps by exploring the experiences of nine TIE actors engaged in two issue-based, interactive TIE works presented in Hong Kong. -

Language Identification for Person Names Based on Statistical Information
Proceedings of PACLIC 19, the 19th Asia-Pacific Conference on Language, Information and Computation. Language Identification for Person Names Based on Statistical Information Shiho Nobesawa Ikuo Tahara Department of Information Sciences Department of Information Sciences Tokyo University of Science Tokyo University of Science 2641 Yamazaki, Noda 2641 Yamazaki, Noda Chiba, 278-8510, Japan Chiba, 278-8510, Japan [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Language identification has been an interesting and fascinating issue in natural language processing for decades, and there have been many researches on it. However, most of the researches are for documents, and though the possibility of high accuracy for shorter strings of characters, language identification for words or phrases has not been discussed much. In this paper we propose a statistical method of language identification for phrases, and show the empirical results for person names of 9 languages (12 areas). Our simple method based on n-gram and phrase length obtained more than 90% of accuracy for Japanese, Korean and Russian, and fair results for other languages except English. This result indicated the possibility of language identification for person names based on statistics, which is useful in multi-language person name detection and also let us expect the possibility of language identification for phrases with simple statistics-based methods. 1. Introduction The technology of language identification has become more important with the growth of the WWW. As Grefenstette reported in their paper (Grefenstette 2000) non-English languages are growing in recent years on the WWW, and the need for automatic language identification for both documents and phrases are increasing. -

PE & QSR: Ambition on a Bun Asian Venture Capital Journal | 06
PE & QSR: Ambition on a bun Asian Venture Capital Journal | 06 November 2019 Many private equity investors think they can make a fast buck from fast dining, but rolling out a Western-style brand in Asia requires discipline on valuation and competence in execution Gondola Group was among the last remaining assets in Cinven’s fourth fund, and as one LP tells it, exit prospects were uncertain. The portfolio company’s primary business was PizzaExpress, which had 437 outlets in the UK and a further 68 internationally as of June 2014. Expansion in China by the brand’s Hong Kong-based franchise partner had been measured, with about a dozen restaurants apiece in Hong Kong and the mainland. Cinven wasn’t willing to be so patient. In May 2014, Gondola opened a directly owned outlet in Beijing – as a showcase of what the brand might achieve in China when backed by enough capital and ambition. Two months after that, PizzaExpress was sold to China’s Hony Capital for around $1.5 billion. By the start of the following year, Cinven had offloaded the remaining Gondola assets and generated a 2.4x return for its investors. The LP was “pleasantly surprised” by the outcome. Hony’s experience with the restaurant chain hasn’t be as fulfilling. Adverse commercial conditions in the UK – still home to 480 of its approximately 620 outlets – has eaten into margins and left PizzaExpress potentially unable to sustain an already highly leveraged capital structure. Hony is considering restructuring options for a GBP1.1 billion ($1.4 billion) debt pile. -

SME Financial Services in China: Institutional Framework And
SME Financial Services in China: Institutional Framework and Emerging Opportunities SMEs are the backbone of China’s economy but are under-served In China, SMEs accounted for 60% of GDP and 80% of employment but they accounted for less than 40% of total bank loans. Aside from banks, SMEs have few other sources of finance. Risk management is commercial banks’ primary concern, such that loan approval usually takes at least 1 month which certainly cannot fulfill the timely funding requirement of SMEs. Further, most types of loan products such as cashflow lending and unsecured lending are still in premature stage. SME’s difficulties are especially great during periods of liquidity tightening when bank head offices allocate lending quotas to the politically powerful state-owned enterprise sector in preference to SMEs. Rapid growth in the non-bank financing sector creates opportunities We estimated that the CAGR for new loan from non-bank channels grew at 32.8% during 2008-2012, far exceeding new RMB bank loan growth of 13.7%. This is due to the government’s promuglation of new regulations on non-bank financing institutions. As a result, the sector grew rapidly, for example, small loan companies experienced 98% and 51% growth in loan during 2011 and 2012, and finance leasing companies recorded 40% growth in receivabes during 2011. We believe that the industry is in its infancy and will grow substantially, but the industry is still quite fragmented with yet non-existence of national players. The SME financing sector has begun to receive policy support Over the past 10 years, the central government has rolled out numerous policy document encouraging SME lending and clarifying the legal status of non-bank financing institutions. -
