Parallel to the discourse of Tropical Architecture and the work of UK architects in the British colonial territories in the Middle East, Africa, and India after the WWII, climate adaptation designs or devices such as brise-soleil, perforated cement bricks, sun shading screens, courtyards, etc., started to emerge in modernist buildings in Asia. This article is a preliminary survey of these cases in Hong Kong and Macau since the 1950s. It discusses how tropicality was used in response to the post-war revisionism of Modern Movement that placed emphasis on local identity and culture.

Abstract BackgroundEarly versions of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) scoliosis correction surgeries often involved sublaminar devices. Recently the utilization of pedicle screw is gaining much popularity. Pedicle screw generally believed to provide additional deformity correction, but pedicle size and rotational deformity limit the application of pedicle screw in the thoracic spine, resulting in a hybrid construct of the pedicle screw and sublaminar wire. Studies of the efficacy of hybrid instrumentation in SMA scoliosis is often limited by the scarcity of the disease itself. In this study, we aimed to compare the surgical outcome of using hybrid constructs of the pedicle screw and sublaminar wire and that of sublaminar wire alone in patients with SMA scoliosis.MethodsWe retrospectively reviewed the clinical records and radiographic assessments of patients with SMA scoliosis who underwent corrective surgery between 1993 and 2015. The radiographic assessments included the deformity correction and the progressive change of major curve angle, pelvic tilt (PT) and coronal balance (CB). The correction of deformities was observed postoperatively and at the patient’s 2-year follow-up to test the efficacy of each type of constructs.ResultsThirty-three patients were included in this study. There were 14 and 19 patients in the wiring and the hybrid construct groups, respectively. The hybrid construct demonstrated a higher major curve angle correction (50.5° ± 11.2° vs. 36.4° ± 8.4°, p < 0.001), a higher apical vertebral rotation correction (10.6° ± 3.9° vs. 4.8° ± 2.6°, p < 0.001), and reduced the progression of major curve angle after the 2-year follow-up (5.1° ± 2.9° vs. 8.7° ± 4.8°, p < 0.001). A moderate correlation was observed between the magnitude of correction of apical vertebral rotation angle and major curve (r = 0.528, p = 0.002).ConclusionThis study demonstrated that hybrid instrumentation can provide a greater magnitude of correction in major curve and apical rotation, as well as less major curve progression in comparison with sublaminar wire in patients with SMA scoliosis.Level of evidence III

In this essay, Susanna Soojung Lim examines the philosopher Vladimir Solov'ev's representation of China and Japan in his theory of Pan- Mongolism. Emerging at the disjuncture between Solov'ev's ecumenism and the geopolitical realities of contemporary history, Pan-Mongolism was a creation onto which the philosopher projected his anxiety and disillusionment at the failure of his vision. Lim begins by surveying Russian perceptions of East Asia before the 1850s and situating Solov'ev within the popular discourse of the “yellow peril.” Discussing how Solov'ev recapitulates previous notions of this east, she considers Pan-Mongolism in terms of an acute Russian response to the historical and cultural changes originating in China and Japan at a period when the modernization of these nations was challenging the existing relationship between, and indeed the very categories of, east and west. A hybrid construct shaped by Russian occidentalism as well as orientalism, Pan-Mongolism is an idea that reveals both the strength and weakness of Solov'ev's Utopian universalism.
