The Role of the Nonprofit Sector in Hong Kong's Development

The recent handover of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China (PRC) brought Hong Kong worldwide attention and scrutiny. In the run up to the handover, the international media prominently featured stories about Hong Kong's freewheeling capitalism and the stability created by its administrative institutions. Lost in the media attention was the role of nonprofit organizations and the voluntary sector in Hong Kong's political and economic development. Although Hong Kong has a vibrant civil society, it has received little attention from scholars. This paper reviews the role of the third sector in Hong Kong's development. Among the issues the paper addresses are the legal codes that govern the creation and operation of nonprofit organizations in Hong Kong, the evidence regarding the role of the nonprofit sector in Hong Kong's development, particularly its relationship to the government and market sectors, and the implications of the 1997 transition for the nonprofit sector's role.

英文广告语篇的人际意义分析

功能语法中的一个非常重要的组成部分是纯理功能。韩礼德把纯理功能分为三种,即语篇功能,人际功能和概念功能。人际功能指的是人们用语言来和其他人交往,建立和保持人际关系,用语言来影响别人的行为,同时用语言来表达对世界的看法。广告语篇是一种人际功能极强的语篇。在功能语法的框架下对其进行分析,一定会对这种特定的语篇有更深入地理解。     

也说文学亚理论

文学元理论、文学理论、文学亚理论是一种双向互动的关系,文学理论属于元科学范畴,文学亚理论有力地支撑了文学元理论的发展空间。文学理论远远大于各个文学亚理论之和。文学理论应该对其科学属性和研究对象等进行内在和外在的反思,从而把文学理论建构成为一门开放性的学科。     

论老子、庄子、禅宗的哲学思辨逻辑

老子、庄子、禅宗哲学思辨的逻辑都具有两极对转、相反相成、圆融无极、流转不居的特性。从运思形式和思辨逻辑的角度看,禅宗哲学与老子哲学是一脉相承、性质同一的。但在主客体关系上,二者运思的方向却是相反的:老子是从绝对的客体世界出发,转入绝对的主体世界,最终达于主客两极圆融的境界;禅宗是从绝对的主体世界出发,转入绝对的客体世界,最终达于(自他不二)主客两极圆融的境界。庄子哲学可以看作是介于老子的绝对客观主义与禅宗的绝对主观主义的一个中间环节,也可以将庄子哲学看作老子的绝对客观主义向禅宗的绝对主观主义发展的一个中间阶段。

A comparison study of realtime fatality rates: severe acute respiratory syndrome in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Toronto and Beijing, China

Summary.  In an outbreak of a completely new infectious disease like severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), estimation of the fatality rate over the course of the epidemic is of clinical and epidemiological importance. In contrast with the constant case fatality rate, a new measure, termed the 'realtime' fatality rate, is proposed for monitoring the new emerging epidemic at a population level. A competing risk model implemented via a counting process is used to estimate the realtime fatality rate in an epidemic of SARS. It can capture and reflect the time-varying nature of the fatality rate over the course of the outbreak in a timely and accurate manner. More importantly, it can provide information on the efficacy of a certain treatment and management policy for the disease. The method has been applied to the SARS data from the regions affected, namely Hong Kong, Singapore, Toronto, Taiwan and Beijing. The magnitudes and patterns of the estimated fatalities are virtually the same except in Beijing, which has a lower rate. It is speculated that the effect is linked to the different treatment protocols that were used. The standard estimate of the case fatality rate that was used by the World Health Organization has been shown to be unable to provide useful information to monitor the time-varying fatalities that are caused by the epidemic.
