  • The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Application to Become a Member of the Alliance for Healthy Cities Southern District, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region People’S Republic of China
    Application to become a Member of The Alliance for Healthy Cities Southern District, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region People’s Republic of China The Healthy Cities initiatives employ the overall strategy of making use of “intersectoral action and community participation to integrate health protection and health promotion activities and transform health determinants for the better”1, health determinants referring to the different factors that determine the health status of people. The Southern District fully agrees with this approach and is committed to employing this strategy to improve the physical and social environments in a sustainable manner, and to fully utilize those community resources which encourage residents to support each other in improving their health and quality of life and in developing toward their full potential, so as to transform the Southern District into a healthy city. In view of the above, the Southern District would like to apply for membership of The Alliance for Healthy Cities. District Profile 2.

    LC Paper No. CB(2)1476/08-09(03) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXLC PaperXXXXXXXXX No. XXX For discussion XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX on 11 May 2009 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Legislative Council Panel on Health Services Relocation of Siu Lam Hospital to Block B of Castle Peak Hospital Purpose This paper seeks Members’ support for the proposed relocation of Siu Lam Hospital (SLH) to Block B of Castle Peak Hospital (CPH) in order to improve the facilities of SLH to meet prevailing standards. Background 2. SLH is one of the hospitals under the New Territories West Cluster (NTWC) of the Hospital Authority. Other hospitals in the cluster include Tuen Mun Hospital (TMH), Pok Oi Hospital and CPH. SLH is currently the only hospital providing rehabilitative and infirmary services exclusively to severely mentally handicapped (SMH) adult patients in Hong Kong. Deteriorating physical conditions in SLH 3. SLH was opened in 1972 and the physical conditions of its buildings have deteriorated over the years. One of the more disruptive and recurring problems facing SLH is roof leakage. Although re-roofing works have been carried out, rainwater leakage still occurs frequently. The damp environment also poses the risks of infection. 4. The existing sewage treatment system, with septic tanks and soakaways, has been in use since the establishment of SLH. It is approaching the end of its useful life and may pose pollution threats to the environment. Simply replacing the existing system with new septic tanks and soakaways could not meet modern standards of sanitation for health care facilities, which require the direct connection of drains to the public sewerage system to minimize the risks of pollution.
