Prenatal characteristics and factors contributing to congenital syphilis
In this country-wide assessment, we identified substantial failures in the delivery of adequate prenatal care to M/BP of live-born infants diagnosed with CS. Public health action, such as community outreach to ensure prenatal care for all pregnant people, with specific attention to the prenatal healthcare needs and engagement in the care of those who use substances, is pressing

The effect of pre-trip virtual reality and on-site smart device use on accessible tourism experiences
Sensory experience of visitors with hearing impairment on a rural island destination
This study aims to examine the sensory experiences of visitors with hearing impairment (HI) in the context of a rural destination. A series of field visits have been run over four seasons at the island of Yim Tin Tsai (YTT) in Hong Kong, involving 85 participants without impairment and 78 participants with HI. Spatial mapping and focus group discussions have been employed to perceive their sensory impressions and appraisals of YTT. The empirical …
Chinese Perceptions of American Democracy
Analysis of the writings of Kuang Qizhao and other Chinese self-strengtheners suggests that their emphasis on promoting education before democracy and continuing to endorse classical Confucianism were not signs of a retrograde kind of conservatism, but an entirely rational decision based on the actual experiences of late Qing observers of 19th Century American democracy. Observing the U.S. Congress’s passage of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, …
ICD (Integrated Cardiac Device) Care through Paced (Patient-centred And Cardiac Nursing Engaged Device) Services in a Regional Hospital in Hong Kong
Introduction: Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED) are effective treatment to patients with bradycardia and life-threatening arrhythmia. However, without appropriate CIED settings and adaptation to life, patient may restrict activities for years.Furthermore, population of newly-implanted CIED patient has doubled in last decade. It challenged our service greatly, since cardiologist needs to follow up CIED patient *indefinitely in HK*.Unit…
The Role of theGuangbaoin Promoting Nationalism and Transmitting Reform Ideas in Late Qing China
TheGuangbao, published in Guangzhou between 1886 and 1891, was one of China's earliest native-owned newspapers, with a circulation three times larger than theXunhuan Ribao. The newspaper, founded by Kuang Qizhao, provides important information on the ideas that were circulating at the time in Guangzhou, a place where a number of reformers were beginning to formulate their thoughts. The newspaper may have sown some of the seeds for the nationalism…
A post-critical perspective to community participation in trans-boundary water governance – A case study of the Volta River Basin in West Africa
Challenges to the elite exclusion-inclusion dichotomy - reconsidering elite capture in community-based natural resource management
The community-driven, decentralised approach to natural resource management has reached a crossroads. The good governance agenda in the water, forestry, fishery and biodiversity sectors has generated limited success in achieving pro-poor outcomes. In many cases, local elites are to blame for capturing the benefits from the process of democratising decision-making processes. This paper examines two approaches in the literature which both aim to ad…
Positivism, post‐positivism and domestic water demand
The contributions and limitations of the positivist and post‐positivist approaches to research into domestic water demand are analysed and compared, and the potential for bringing the two perspectives together is evaluated. The analysis is based on a 4‐year investigation of water demand conducted as part of a larger multidisciplinary research programme on sustainable urban environments and specifically the role of water in new developments. The p…
Whose lives are worth more? Politicising research safety in developing countries
This article develops the ‘safety–emotion–power’ nexus and highlights the role of emotion in research by politicising the unequal power relationships between researchers and NGO staff members in defining danger and negotiating safety in their fieldwork. Drawing on the author's research experiences in Bangladesh and Ghana, it argues that research touching on emotion-laden topics can inflict stress and pain on NGO staff members and their families. …
Identity in Crossroad Civilisations
A particularly strong example -in relation to the Muslim diaspora in the UK -is provided by Phillips 2006. There is also an ecological understanding of the concept of Australasia that links Australia and PNG to Indonesia, but excludes New Zealand
Climate change and sustainable technology
This article examines the role of sustainable technology in tackling climate change in developing countries. Drawing on solar home systems in Bangladesh as an example, it argues that increasing women's visibility in technology committees is not necessarily effective in challenging gender stereotypes. Crafting new rules may fail to confront power inequalities. Sustainable technology can exert additional workloads on women. This article proposes a …
Making power explicit in sustainable water innovation
This article offers a new perspective on environmental citizenship by proposing the ‘subjectivity–institution–structure’ framework. Applying the framework to a sustainable water innovation project in north-west England, it argues that the meaning of environmental rights, the understanding of required environmental responsibilities, and the degree of public participation in decision-making, are shaped by individuals' subjective values, institution…
Building Social Capital in Hong Kong by Institutionalising Participation
This paper draws on ethnographic research in Hong Kong to question the effectiveness of Elinor Ostrom's `design principles' in providing solutions to social divisions by social capital building and institutionalised participation. It challenges the strategic and instrumental assumptions of human motivations for not adequately considering moral concerns, a sense of commitment and the right way of doing things in social cooperation. The tendency to…
Exploring 'Unseen' Social Capital in Community Participation
Exploring 'Unseen' Social Capital in Community Participation
This volume argues that using social capital to eradicate poverty is unlikely to succeed because its mainstream approach mistakenly assumes that social capital necessarily benefits poor people. The inadequacy of that assumption, Sam Wong argues, calls for a reassessment of human motivations, institutional dynamics, and the complexity of structures in social capital building. Proposing a ‘pro-poor' perspective, in which poverty-specific outcomes a…
Partner or Pariah
This article questions the economic perspective of institutions and the uncritical approach to using local organizations and leaders. It argues that the instrumental approach of socially embedded institutions for enhancing project efficiency and political legitimacy disregards the existing unequal structures of authority within communities. Drawing from Pierre Bourdieu's notion of "symbolic power," the author argues that local elites make use of …
