The evolution of herniology in surgery has been remarkable. The primary aim remains a strong and durable hernia repair. However, pain and quality-of-life now figure as significant added goalposts. With endoscopy, an anatomically novel posterior approach to hernia repair has been introduced. Hernia repair with its varied facets, approaches and intricacies continues to intrigue and fascinate surgeons. The National Chapters of the APHS are the driving forces that provide momentum and substance to the academic activities. The Annual APHS Congress remains the flagship event to showcase regional expertise and also an opportunity to present and deliberate on best hernia practices. The forthcoming Annual Congresses of the APHS are scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan (2016) and Kaohsiung, Taiwan (2017). The journal Hernia is now the official journal of the APHS that continues to receive support, patronage and significant contributions from the APHS members. We are pleased to share an excellent synergistic relationship with our industry partners. The APHS recognizes and appreciates the invaluable contribution of our industry partners to expand surgical frontiers as also to facilitate education and training of surgeons. We, at the APHS, remain committed to advance a better understanding of the mechanisms and treatment of hernia and to facilitate optimal training techniques to achieve this objective. The APHS Newsletter provides a forum for announcements, meetings and news events from around the Asia Pacific region, which are of interest to the APHS fraternity. I request our members especially the Presidents and Secretaries of our National Chapters to contribute regularly to the newsletter to keep the APHS membership abreast of news, events and happenings in their respective regions.

  • Western Migrants in Hong Kong and Macau Abstract Introduction
    Travel as Learned Behaviour: Western migrants in Hong Kong and Macau Abstract This paper examines travel by western migrants who have moved to the Hong Kong or Macau Special Administrative Regions of China. Previous research suggests travel patterns are a form of learned behaviour. New migrants initially exhibit patterns learned from their home countries, but over time their patterns change and reflect more those of residents of their new countries as they learn and adopt new behaviours. This situation was not observed among western migrants. Instead, they exhibited patterns that were internally consistent, regardless of the migrant’s origin, but different from those of the local Chinese populace. The paper argues that western migrants, who generally live in a parallel expatriate bubble to those host community, have learned travel patterns from others who also live in that bubble. Keywords: Western professional migrants, learned behaviour, Hong Kong, Macau, travel behaviour Acknowledgements: Funding for this project was provided for by grants from the Institute for Tourism Studies, Macau and The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Introduction This study examines the travel behaviours and destination choices of Western migrants who live in the Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions of China (HKSAR, MSAR, respectively). Differences between members of this group and the host population are framed conceptually within the context of travel as learned behaviour (Harrison, Shaffer, Bhaskar- Shrinivas 2004; Klemm, 2002). Past studies suggest that new migrants’ travel patterns often reflect behaviours imported from their country of origin (Kang and Page, 2000), but over time emulate the habits of the population in the receiving country as individuals learn and adopt new 1 behaviours (Feng & Page, 2000).
