Key Issues

This chapter provides a comprehensive review of some of the key issues in early intervention for psychosis using the example of a population-based service in Hong Kong, for which a full range of data is available. The authors review a number of studies addressing: (i) the DUP and its associated factors in Hong Kong; (ii) whether DUP can be changed by public awareness programmes; (iii) the immediate outcome of a two-year early intervention programme; (iv) whether the improved outcome can be sustained after the programme, over ten years; and (v) whether receiving one more year of intervention could further improve the outcome. The results show that even in a low-resource setting in Hong Kong, significant improvements in functioning can be achieved, with reduced hospitalization and reduced suicide. A long-term follow-up study observed that these effects are sustainable over ten years. Further improvements can be attained by providing longer intervention to a group that responded less favourably. However, these enhancements proved more difficult to sustain. Together, these suggest a possible dose effect on the impact and sustainability of early intervention for psychosis. Future work should aim to clarify the role of increased intervention resources such as manpower and a more defined specific programme (e.g. coaching, exercise, cognitive interventions). More work is also required to investigate the culture of early psychosis services (such as a hope-centred culture), as well as how more personalized needs of individual patients can be met.

This book provides a detailed commentary on the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) Administered Arbitration Rules providing practitioners with an insider’s perspective on how the HKIAC Secretariat administers arbitrations under these rules. HKIAC is one of the world’s most sophisticated arbitration institutions, which established a set of Administered Arbitration Rules in 2008. Since then, HKIAC has enjoyed a continued yearly growth in cases. In 2015, HKIAC saw a record number of arbitration cases in 2012. This guide makes reference to the Hong Kong Arbitration Ordinance as well as drawing comparisons with other institutional rules and the UNCITRAL Model Rules to emphasize key issues to consider when drafting an arbitral clause or strategizing over the conduct of an arbitration. As well as offering an insider’s perspective it provides examples of anonymous cases handled at the HKIAC, and a discussion on various issues arising from arbitrations involving mainland parties or enforcing arbitration awards in mainland China. The book not only draws from seven years’ experience administering arbitrations under the HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules (2008) but highlights the various changes made in the revised Rules that came into effect in November 2013 benefiting from privileged access. The book begins with an introduction to the HKIAC, including a history with statistics and details of other services provided by the HKIAC itself. The commentary then goes on to examine each article in depth. Relevant supporting documents are appended including Recommended HKIAC Arbitration Clauses, HKIAC Administered Arbitration Rules (2013), UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules 2010, and the Hong Kong Arbitration Ordinance.

It is part of a series based on surveys carried out in 1988, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1997 and 1999. Over 3,000 Chinese-speaking adults were selected and interviewed each time. Additional topics were added to each successive survey, making the scope broader each time. The volumes contain a detailed appendix about survey methodology.

In 2007, the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library kicked off a conference series with the main theme of ‘Academic Librarian’. In 2016, the fourth conference of the series entitled Academic Librarian 4: Sustainable Academic Libraries: Now and Beyond was co-organized by the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Library and the Chinese University of Hong Kong Library. The Academic Librarian 4 Conference addresses the multi-dimensional issues of sustainability pertaining to academic libraries under four major themes: (1) Sustainable Environment; (2) Sustainable Resources; (3) Sustainable Technologies; and (4) Sustainable Services. Apart from reviewing the key issues concerning the sustainability of academic libraries brought up by the conference papers, the author also highlights the way in which the Academic Librarian 4 Conference made every effort to make this a sustainable library event.
