香港短篇小說的精神疾病書寫 (1990-2010), Pui Ting Tsang

Lingnan Theses

自古至今，疾病是文學反覆吟誦的母題。香港文學發展至今，以精神疾病作為敘事對象的作品不勝枚舉。九十年代以後的精神疾病書寫，更呈現一種眾聲喧嘩（Hetroglossia）的狀態。

疾病作為時代苦悶的象徵，是展示社會面貌及人文精神的重要表述符號， 因而在文學的主題表現上有舉足輕重的地位。精神疾病的敘事更以心靈為文本，逼視個人或社會的病態。審視兩岸三地文學發展的脈絡，在現代主義的熱潮薰陶，及社會動盪的政局與經濟發展下，精神疾病書寫的文學形式便應運而生。作家為精神疾病披上藝術的外衣，形塑扭曲的人文及都市的多維面貌，為小說提供種種歧義的解讀，增加作品闡釋的空間與美學價值。可惜到目前為止， 香港文學對精神疾病敘事的研究並不足夠。

因此，本論文以1990-2010 年間發表及出版，並以精神疾病為敘事主題的香港短篇小說作為研究對象， 結合精神病學的醫學研究成果及敘事學 （Narratology）的相關論述，以精神疾病的敘事作用作為研究框架，從「個人」 和「社會」兩個層面為切入點，分析精神疾病之於文學主題的敘事作用。最後， 探討作家如何透過（集體）書寫精神疾病，反映出香港九十年代至今的時代性， 及形塑出香港都市支離破碎、浮動而不穩定的形象，從而肯定精神疾病書寫對於香港文學的價值。

Spatial Relationship, Jeong Ju Lee

Theses

My sculptural furniture and jewelry works derive from my interest in the human body and its spatial relationship to surroundings. Inspired by the organic forms from nature with human elements, the furniture presents the interaction between the work and the viewers as it is conceived as both functional and sculptural. The jewelry makes a statement on the body as a wearable sculpture, focusing on the organization of space as well as considering the movement on the human body.

Relaxing Constraints As A Conservation Policy, Ben Groom, Charles Palmer

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

Eco-entrepreneurs in developing countries are often subject to market or institutional constraints, e.g. via credit rationing or missing markets. Conservation interventions which relax constraints may be both cost-effective and poverty reducing. A simulation using data from an intervention in Madagascar to relax the technological constraints of forest honey production investigates this possibility. Cost-effectively achieving dual environment-development goals is shown to depend on the severity of constraints, relative prices and, importantly, the nature of technology. Success is more likely for technologies exhibiting close to constant returns to scale or high input complementarity. Forest honey does not meet these requirements, whereas sustainable …

Integrating Water Resources Into Computable General Equilibrium Models - A Survey, Roberto Ponce, Francesco Bosello, Carlo Giupponi

Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei Working Papers

Water resources are facing several stresses in terms of quantity and quality. These pressures are closely related to the human interventions in fields like: agriculture, land-use/land use change, construction/management of reservoirs, pollutant emissions, and water /wastewater treatment, among others. Considering the critical role that water plays for agricultural production, any shock in water availability will have great implications for agricultural production, and through agricultural markets these impacts will reach the whole economy with economy-wide consequences. The aim of this report is to present a literature review about the state of the art methodology regarding the study of water issues using …

5d: A Gis-Based Approach For Determining And Displaying The Degree Of Operational Difficulty Of Demining, Pierre Lacroix, Rocío Escobar

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction

Clearance operations highly depend on environmental, geographic and socioeconomic conditions. These conditions make demining easier, more difficult or nearly impossible. This article proposes an analytical method called 5D (Determining and Displaying the Degree of Operational Difficulty of Demining), which classifies degrees of difficulty as low, medium, high or extreme.

Country Profile: Kenya, Cisr Journal

The Journal of Conventional Weapons Destruction

Kenya is located on the eastern coast of Africa, bordered by Ethiopia, Somalia, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda. Although the country is largely unaffected by landmines and unexploded ordnance, the easy accessibility of small arms and light weapons poses a serious threat to national security. These weapons exacerbate regional conflicts and are especially detrimental in pastoral communities.

The Revival Of Reliance And Prospectivity: Chevron Oil In The Immigration Context, Elliot Watson

Seattle University Law Review

Using Duran Gonzales as an example, this Comment discusses how courts determine when and if conflicting rules of law should be applied retroactively to aliens. Specifically, it argues that the holding in Nunez-Reyes and its use of the Chevron Oil test should be applied broadly to limit the retroactive application of law in certain immigration cases. Part II of this Comment gives a brief overview of Supreme Court retroactivity jurisprudence, the discretionary application of adjudicative retroactivity as described in Chevron Oil, and the Court’s recent shift toward a more conservative approach. Part III discusses how administrative law affects that framework …

The Steward, The King, And The Queen: Fealty And Love In Tolkien's The Lord Of The Rings And In Sir Orfeo, Sue Bridgwater

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Finds connections between The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien’s long professional engagement with the medieval romance Sir Orfeo. Orfeo’s plot elements of a king’s separation from his queen and his testing of his steward are echoed (albeit in a somewhat fragmented way) and re–examined in the relationships of Aragorn, Arwen, and the house of the Stewards of Gondor.

Maternal Pre‐Pregnancy Body Mass Index Is Not Associated With Infant And Young Child Feeding In Low‐Income Mexican Children 1–24 Months Old, Eva C. Monterrosa, Edward A. Frongillo Jr., Lynnette M. Neufeld, Kelsey A. Egan, Usha Ramakrishnan, Kathleen M. Rasmussen

Faculty Publications

Pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity is associated with shorter breastfeeding (BF) duration. Whether pre-pregnancy overweight and obesity is associated with other aspects of infant and young child feeding (IYCF) hasnot been investigated. We used data from 370 children born January 1999–September 2001 in a semi-urbancommunity in Morelos, Mexico, where information on how they were fed was available at 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24months of age. We modified the World Health Organization’s dietary diversity indicator to assess the quality ofthe complementary foods. An index that included BF, quality of complementary foods and other behaviours wasconstructed to measure IYCF. We …

Characterization Of Cell Proliferation Throughout The Brain Of The African Cichlid Fish Astatotilapia Burtoni And Its Regulation By Social Status, Karen P. Maruska, Russ E. Carpenter, Russell D. Fernald

Faculty Publications

New cells are added in the brains of all adult vertebrates, but fishes have some of the greatest potential for neurogenesis and gliogenesis among all taxa, partly due to their indeterminate growth. Little is known, however, about how social interactions influence cell proliferation in the brain of these fishes that comprise the largest group of vertebrates. We used 5-bromo-2′-deoxyuridine (BrdU) to identify and localize proliferation zones in the telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, and rhombencephalon that were primarily associated with ventricular surfaces in the brain of the African cichlid fish Astatotilapia burtoni. Cell migration was evident in some regions by 1 day …

Obstructive sleep apnea is common in patients with heart failure. This case illustrates that treatment with PAP therapy can improve cardiac function in patients with both conditions. CPAP-emergent central apnea, as seen in this patient, has multiple etiologies. It is commonly seen in patients with severe sleep apnea, usually resolves over time, and does not need treatment with adaptive servoventilation.

Use Of Real-Time Pcr To Detect Surimi Adulteration In Vegetarian Foods, Ching-Yang Cheng, Yeu-Ching Shi, Sin-Rong Lin, Chi-Chiang Chou, Chin-Cheng Huang

Journal of Marine Science and Technology–Taiwan

Vegetarian foods are abundant in the domestic market. It is found that animal ingredients have been added into vegetarian products to improve the texture and taste. Surimi adulteration in vegetarian food is an area of concern for vegetarians. The α-skeletal actin gene of aquatic animals as novel specific primers and probe of Actinopterygii in 36 fish species are tested using real-time PCR method. It was found that all of the 36 fish species of Actinopterygii showed positive results. The 10 surimi products, 10 surimi-based products containing fish components showed positive results. All of the 10 fresh foods containing no fish …
