Impact Of Urbanization

Many South East Asian cities have experienced substantial physical, economic and social transformations during the past several decades. The rapid pace of globalization and economic restructuring has resulted in these cities receiving the full impact of urbanization pressures. In an attempt to ease these pressures, cities such as Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur have advocated growth management approaches focusing especially on urban infrastructure sustainability. These approaches aim to achieve triple bottom line sustainability by balancing economic and social development, and environmental protection. This chapter evaluates three Asia-Pacific city cases, Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur, and assesses their experiences in managing their urban forms and infrastructure whilst promoting sustainable patterns of urban development.

Definition Of

A review of the available literature has shown that the current epidemic of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is closely related with the widespread prevalence of metabolic risk factors worldwide, such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. In parallel with the increasing availability of effective antiviral drugs, NAFLD is rapidly becoming the most common cause of chronic liver disease in Western countries, and a similar trend is expected in Eastern countries in the coming years. This epidemic and its aftermath have prompted experts from around the world to identify effective strategies for the diagnosis, management and treatment of NAFLD. Various scientific associations from America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region have offered recommendations based on the most recent data on NAFLD. These recommendations are consistent with the key elements of NAFLD management, but at the same time, there are significant differences in some critical points. We have identified clinical guidelines from 8 different scientific societies with a worldwide reputation, and tried to conduct a systematic and comparative analysis of the presented protocols. Differences were noted in: definition of NAFLD, screening for NAFLD in high-risk patients, a non-invasive test proposed to diagnose NAFLD and identify NAFLD patients with severe fibrosis, follow-up protocols, and finally, treatment strategy

The Right

In Michael Jeffery Jordan v Chinese Trademark Review and Adjudication Board, the Supreme People's Court (SPC) set a precedent for foreign companies and celebrities enforcing their rights of publicity against malicious trademark registration in China. This article introduces the legal grounds of the SPC's deliberations on Jordan's claims and responds to the critiques of most Chinese commentators in the field of civil law. Deeply influenced by German law, mainland China's legal system strictly distinguishes between personality rights and property rights. Comparative analysis with the US, Germany, Japan, and Hong Kong indicates that different legal civilizations have developed different approaches to position the right of publicity logically in their legal systems. The Jordan decision indicates that the ‘right of the name’ is a prior right provided in Article 32 of the Trademark Law of the PRC. This article contends that the ‘right of the name’ as provided in the Chinese Anti-Unfair Competition Law differs from the ‘right of the name’ articulated in Article 110 of the General Principles of Civil Law (2017). The former concerns the commercial interest and property aspects of a celebrity's name, which is fairly similar to the right of publicity, while the latter regards the personality right. The further development of the right of publicity protection relies in mainland China on a consistent judicial practice.
