A detailed rock density model of the Hong Kong territories

We used the geological map and published rock density measurements to compile the digital rock density model for the Hong Kong territories.We then estimated the average density for the whole territory.According to our result,the rock density values in Hong Kong vary from 2101 to 2681 kg·m^(-3).These density values are typically smaller than the average density of 2670 kg·m^(-3),often adopted to represent the average density of the upper continental crust in physical geodesy and gravimetric geophysics applications.This finding reflects that the geological configuration in Hong Kong is mainly formed by light volcanic formations and lava flows with overlying sedimentary deposits at many locations,while the percentage of heavier metamorphic rocks is very low(less than 1%).This product will improve the accuracy of a detailed geoid model and orthometric heights.

A Comparative Study of the L2 Pragmatic Competence of University Students in Hong Kong and the Chinese Mainland:The Contributions of Sociocultural Context and Linguistic Proficiency

This study investigates the differences in pragmatic competence between Hong Kong and Chinese mainland university students.Participants included 19 native speakers of English,115 Chinese mainland students,divided into those who had spent time abroad in an English-speaking country(CM A)and those who had not(CM NA),and 97 Hong Kong students,divided into those from an English-medium secondary school(Hong Kong EMI)and those from a Chinese-medium school(Hong Kong CMI).Linguistic proficiency was measured by a C-test,and pragmatic competence by a Metapragmatic Knowledge Test,an Irony Test and a Monologic Role Play.Group scores were compared using ANCOVAs to control for differences in proficiency.The results point to a continuum of pragmatic competence—EMI>CMI>CM A>CM NA—reflecting the groups’access to English in real-life contexts.The differences between the Hong Kong groups and the Chinese mainland groups were clearest in those tests measuring processing capacity(i.e.,Irony Response Time and the Monologic Role Play).CM A,but not CM NA,performed as well as the Hong Kong groups on measures of metapragmatic awareness.The results are discussed in terms of Bialystok’s(1993)distinction between analyzed representation and control of processing.

Using Five Music Instructional Methods to Illustrate the Social Constructive Music Teaching Framework in Hong Kong Primary Level Music Education

Music education under the frame name of arts education has been integrated into the primary and secondary education curriculums in Hong Kong for more than 20 years,starting from 2001,the year of launching the Learning to Learn curriculum for the reconstruction of the education system for the younger generation.Music education,embedded into the arts education,was therefore regarded as one of the key subjects to cultivate and uplift student holistic development,focusing on aesthetic skill training and moral growth development.This research was an exploration study of music teaching practices from two private international and two general public school music teachers at the primary school level.The value of this study rested on borrowing the idea of Shulman’s pedagogical content knowledge(PCK)principle to create a social constructivist music teaching framework from five commonly-used instructional methods,namely,Orff,Kodaly,Dalcrozes,Suzuki,and Gordon’s approaches.Based on the evaluations of these four case studies,hypotheses on the differences in the PCK were tested with the types of schools and found to be no difference.The preliminary results suggested that music teachers in private international schools had similar pedagogical approaches to music instruction to teachers in aided-public schools.Additionally,the modeling,guiding,and training approach was identified as a grounded teaching method for music education at the primary school level regardless of different types of schools.Other implications like the further development of the framework were discussed.

Christian Sin and Buddhist Emptiness： The Angry God vs. a Smiling Buddha

Starting from a reading of Jonathan Edwards＇ famous sermon ＂Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God＂, this paper first analyzes the powerful image of ＂sinner＂ in the sermon, then goes on to give a definition of a Christian conception of sin. It is found that while sin is a central conception in the religious system of Christianity, Emptiness is a central idea in Buddhist＇s doctrine. Understanding this conception is a key step on one＇s road to the enlightenment. Buddha＇s emphasis on emptiness is to warn people not to hold everything tight in this world, to stop their craving and grasping, finally to end people＇s suffering in life. Human beings get salvation through the redemption of their sin in a Christian doctrine, while in a Buddhist doctrine, people can only get enlightened and salvation when they are aware of the empty nature of this world, the universe, and themselves

Predicting Carpark Prices Indices in Hong Kong Using AutoML

The aims of this study were threefold:1)study the research gap in carpark and price index via big data and natural language processing,2)examine the research gap of carpark indices,and 3)construct carpark price indices via repeat sales methods and predict carpark indices via the AutoML.By researching the keyword“carpark”in Google Scholar,the largest electronic academic database that coversWeb of Science and Scopus indexed articles,this study obtained 999 articles and book chapters from 1910 to 2019.It confirmed that most carpark research threw light on multi-storey carparks,management and ventilation systems,and reinforced concrete carparks.The most common research method was case studies.Regarding price index research,many previous studies focused on consumer,stock,press and futures,with many keywords being related to finance and economics.These indicated that there is no research predicting carpark price indices based on an AutoML approach.This study constructed repeat sales indices for 18 districts in Hong Kong by using 34,562 carpark transaction records from December 2009 to June 2019.Wanchai’s carpark price was about four times that of Yuen Long’s carpark price,indicating the considerable carpark price differences inHong Kong.This research evidenced the features that affected the carpark price indices models most:gold price ranked the first in all 19 models;oil price or Link stock price ranked second depending on the district,and carpark affordability ranked third.

Cycles of fine-grained sedimentation and their influences on organic matter distribution in the second member of Paleogene Kongdian Formation in Cangdong Sag,Bohai Bay Basin,East China

According to the theory of sequence stratigraphy based on continental transgressive-regressive(T-R)cycles,a 500 m continuous core taken from the second member of Kongdian Formation(Kong 2 Member)of Paleogene in Well G108-8 in the Cangdong Sag,Bohai Bay Basin,was tested and analyzed to clarify the high-frequency cycles of deep-water fine-grained sedimentary rocks in lacustrine basins.A logging vectorgraph in red pattern was plotted,and then a sequence stratigraphic framework with five-order high-frequency cycles was formed for the fine-grained sedimentary rocks in the Kong 2 Member.The high-frequency cycles of fine-grained sedimentary rocks were characterized by using different methods and at different scales.It is found that the fifth-order T cycles record a high content of terrigenous clastic minerals,a low paleosalinity,a relatively humid paleoclimate and a high density of laminae,while the fifth-order R cycles display a high content of carbonate minerals,a high paleosalinity,a dry paleoclimate and a low density of laminae.The changes in high-frequency cycles controlled the abundance and type of organic matter.The T cycles exhibit relatively high TOC and abundant endogenous organic matters in water in addition to terrigenous organic matters,implying a high primary productivity of lake for the generation and enrichment of shale oil.

Discourse Analysis in Translation of Chinese Literature: The Case Study of Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang’s Translation of Kong Yiji

Since the early 1970s,discourse analysis has garnered significant attention across various academic disciplines,marked by the proliferation of numerous theoretical frameworks.Then the profound impact of discourse analysis on the field of translation research has become increasingly apparent,with a substantial body of translation studies embracing the discourse analysis approach.The disciplinary significance of discourse analysis has become undeniable.Contemporary China is in a relatively weak position in global cultural communication.To advance Chinese culture on the global stage,Chinese literary works serve as a precious channel.To effectively showcase the unique qualities of Chinese literature,translators must consider a multitude of influencing factors and address them judiciously to enable target language readers to fully immerse themselves in the essence of Chinese literary artistry.This paper takes Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang’s translation of Kong Yiji as an example to elucidate the function of discourse analysis in translation of Chinese literature.

A Glimpse of Hong Kong ＂Chineseness＂： Pre-existing Tunes as the Redemption of a Cultural Identity

When the umbrellas were held up against the tear gas attack in the protest on September 28, 2014, the hot issue raised by the marathon-like Yellow Umbrella Movement was not only the matter of politics but also a coincidence created for the Hong Kong locals to face, or to be faced with an already moot cliche： How the Hongkongese can redef＇me and redeem their almost lost socio-cultural identity, particularly under the increasingly hegemonic influences and the socio-cultural invasion of the mainland after the 1997 Handover. My present paper is not intended to discuss the topic of identity on the platform of politics, or the postcolonial studies such as transculturation or cultural hybridty. But instead, I am far more interested in locating such issue on the aesthetic dimension of collective memory, which is revealed in two local contemporary Hong Kong compositions. In the process of shaping and reshaping a form of＂HongKongeseness＂ in which the composers tend to create and the local listeners tend to experience, albeit transient, can appear in every nuance of the sonic metaphor embedded in the pre-existing indigenous tunes of a self-contained compositional work.

海洋城市战略与空间规划前瞻

党的十八大报告明确提出“建设海洋强国”的战略目标,要求提高海洋资源开发能力,发展海洋经济,保护海洋生态环境,坚决维护国家海洋权益。2023年10月13日,王世福教授作为国家社科基金重大研究专项首席专家以“建设海洋强国的战略支点与制度创新”为主题组织第十二届“设计城市”圆桌研讨会,并邀请来自规划、海洋、国际关系等多个领域的专家,共同探讨海洋城市在海洋命运共同体中的战略支点作用以及空间规划创新需要。在凝练与会嘉宾观点的基础上,进一步以笔谈形式邀请相关领域专家围绕“海洋城市战略与空间规划”进行论述,期望为未来海洋城市规划与建设提供有益参考。王世福认为对于我国海洋城市建设而言,立足港城关系的规划和注重海陆统筹的战略,有助于在全局视角上认识和响应从港口大国到海洋强国的战略跃升。王兴平等提出建设海洋城市组群是内陆城市经略海洋的重要方式,港口城市与腹地陆域中心城市可通过交通设施网络、多种“流要素”、区域涉海功能与跨界协同治理四个维度的一体化措施构建联系密切且分工合理的海洋功能圈。马向明认为海洋城市战略不应仅局限于海洋资源的开发利用,更应从促进海陆文明交流融合的视角出发,积极应对海洋生态挑战,大力发展文化交流和综合创新功能。海洋城市空间规划应强调陆海功能协调性,从而保证海洋城市健康发展。陈天结合海洋城市所面临的可持续发展问题,从海岸生态系统保护的统筹与修复、沿海城市防灾韧性体系构建和基于气候适应性的沿海城市品质提升三方面,提出沿海高密度城市防灾韧性建设与空间品质提升实施路径。王建军系统论述目前海洋城市战略推进过程中存在的痛点和堵点,并从四个层次梳理当前海洋城市战略核心要解决的问题,即开展陆海资源全要素综合调查与评价、构建陆海统筹的海洋城市发展格局、做好向海而强的资源要素保障以及在更广阔的深远海深度参与全球海洋治理。文超祥等以海洋中心城市作为海洋强国的战略支点,提出科学谋划境内外海洋中心城市的战略布局,并结合我国沿海各省市开展的海岸带空间规划实践总结出:处理好陆域与海域关系、协调好城市与区域发展关系、谋划好陆海发展的战略空间。郑斌认为粤港澳大湾区建设世界级新港城对推动大湾区海洋城市发展具有积极意义,并提出在设施建设、制度建设和推动港口与产业融合发展三方面推进大湾区新港城建设,实现海洋城市的国际化和全球化发展。赵渺希认为随着全球经济的区域化趋势日渐发展,应把握全球供应链、价值链的近岸化趋势,拓展新发展格局下沿海地区高水平对外开放的规划原理,并进一步围绕粤港澳大湾区建设,提出厘清大湾区的全球网络链接机制、解析大湾区区域网络协同机制、大湾区双循环网络发展的规划响应。程遥认为陆海统筹规划是一个全域全要素统筹的系统问题,且最终将落实到陆域的功能与设施规划建设上。陆海统筹导向的国土空间规划在陆海域、邻域、海岸带三个层面对应的规划层次、内容、深度应该是差异化的,并且海域应建立相较陆域更系统的跨界规划管控体系和更严格的传导体系。邓昭华提出中国特色海洋强国的建设,可施行“以陆促港”策略,从“港产联动”以固港、“两丝枢纽”以稳港、集聚资源以强港三方面拓展港口腹地纵深,助力港口实现其陆域的现代化,并通过技术输出助力当地工业化与扩大港群布局稳固其腹地根基。郭海认为我国应提出符合自身国情的海洋理论,以海洋作为中国维护国际社会和平稳定的重要手段,以海港作为中国发展海洋战略的重要抓手,并提出需处理好贸易与军事、国家利益与系统利益、外交功能与经贸功能之间的三对矛盾。刘铮认为海洋城市相关规划具有明显的创新型规划特征,提出应进一步开展海洋城市规划创新并实现对创新目标的制度安排,且需从连通性、支撑性、撬动性三方面思考规划创新的突破点,激活海洋城市战略支点作用。

粤港澳大湾区内地高校港籍大学生的国家认同现状及其塑造机制

粤港澳大湾区建设在塑造中国香港青年国家认同方面具有重要意义。以就读于大湾区内地高校的港籍大学生为研究对象,通过访谈和问卷调查发现,大湾区建设背景下内地港籍大学生具有政治认同度较好、文化认同度较高及国民身份认同度较强的国家认同现状。这缘于港籍大学生在大湾区内地求学时,多元主体围绕其发展需求,以政策吸纳、教育合作、人文交流和生活化传播等四种机制,推进该群体的政治社会化场景变迁,进而对其塑造一种正向的国家认同。据此,应在推进大湾区高质量发展的同时,加强制度改革与规则协调,优化国民教育的课程体系及考核方式,加大大湾区建设的普惠性宣传,借以发挥大湾区在塑造广大中国香港青年国家认同的政策效能。

中华民族共同体话语的历史溯源和媒介构建——基于抗战时期香港进步报刊的考察

作为重要政治话语资源的中华民族共同体意识近年来引发学界关注。通过“话语的历史”与“历史的话语”双重互动维度,探讨相关话语在抗战时期香港进步报刊的历史溯源和媒介构建。研究发现,1936年的《生活日报》以“大众文化”的推广促进了抗日救亡“民族联合阵线”的形成,1938年创刊的港版《大公报》从“明耻教战至一心抗战”并且“团结各方并声讨汪逆”,1941年的《华商报》更是注意到“五洲四海”的“民族解放与世界运命”,勾勒出相关话语的产生、强化和拓展,以及话语主体与对象的内在逻辑;而中华民族共同体观念的历史资源和现实需求塑造着话语的缘由,抗战时期香港进步报刊上的友敌想象、编读实践与统战宣传则呈现了话语的影响;同时,香港进步报刊的独特性体现在其作为纽带和桥梁的作用显著,拓展着中华民族共同体的多维立体空间。为在港地较为复杂的舆论场中处理好话语表征的问题,和为港民的国家认同与人心回归制定出话语动员的策略,提供来自历史层面的参照。

周边眼偏位空孔爆破设计优化研究与应用

依据已有研究对空孔效应和设置空孔时裂纹扩展规律进行探讨,发现空孔有利于裂纹贯通,对提升爆破效果有一定帮助,但也发现传统的直线型空孔布置会导致裂纹偏向,即在空孔附近转向、偏离原发展路径,影响原设计开挖轮廓。若设置偏位空孔,则可充分利用空孔效应及导向作用以提高开挖质量。对于偏位空孔在爆破中的效应,采用数值模拟研究了不同炮孔间距、空孔偏位角下的裂纹扩展规律和炮孔间贯通情况,探讨了最优偏位角度设计,并根据模拟结果对现场爆破方案进行优化,研究实际应用效果。研究结果表明:偏位空孔对爆生裂纹具有较直线空孔更明显的导向作用,主要表现在爆生裂纹尖端向空孔本身发展或被空孔裂纹引导偏向、最终主裂纹与空孔连通或在空孔范围之外主裂纹相贯通,更利于炮孔主裂纹扩展与贯通;通过提取模拟结果并测量裂纹范围,对于孔间距在60 cm及以下时,适用于周边眼爆破设计的最优偏位角为15°,在此情况下炮孔连线方向形成了与孔心连线相平行的裂纹,能显著提升贯通效果;对于优化后的福厦铁路某隧道爆破施工方案,通过振速监测及超欠挖断面扫描分析,发现周边眼起爆引起的爆破振速降低了超过50%,超欠挖值也由平均25 cm降低至15 cm以内,整体应用效果良好。该项研究可为隧道爆破减振及超欠挖控制研究提供一定参考。

模袋护坡工程GPR检测机理和应用研究

GPR技术近年来在许多领域得到了广泛应用,但公路工程在道路脱空探测时对于充水型脱空无法检测,且从未在模袋护坡工程检测中应用。鉴于此,通过室内模型试验,研究了模袋含水率对波速和相对介电常数的影响,并分析了电磁波波长在模袋中的变化情况;通过水池模型试验,在不同电导率的水中对电磁波波速、波长、衰减常数和趋肤深度进行了研究分析。结果表明:模袋护坡工程探测时,应尽量选择高频天线,以提高钢筋分辨率,且重点考虑模袋含水率的影响,选取准确的相对介电常数,准确计算钢筋位置。充水型脱空探测时,应重点考虑水中电磁波的衰减,高频段衰减程度取决于水的电导率。当水的电导率不大于0.1 s/m时,高频段天线均可探测到脱空层底部;当水的电导率大于0.1 s/m和小于1 s/m时,高频段天线均识别困难;当电导率达到1 s/m时,高频段的所有频率均无法识别。

从场空间到流网络:粤港澳大湾区城市群空间结构特征及优化路径研究

检视粤港澳大湾区城市群空间结构演化趋势,对纵深推动大湾区高质量发展意义重大。本研究因应数字经济对区域要素流动结构的影响,提出粤港澳大湾区“流网络”分析框架,并以首位度和齐普夫法则测度传统空间结构特征,以上市企业的“总部—分支”机构分布测度流网络特征。结果表明:大湾区总体经历了先集聚再分散的发展过程;各城市人口分布梯度不合理,核心城市的人口扩张推动了城市群的定型。大湾区经济规模结构呈现帕累托分布模式,各城市经济规模变差较大。从城际联系来看,广州深圳之间具有高联通度,形成了联通走廊,2000年以来深圳的相对联通度高居首位,区域网络日渐完善。未来,应织密高效的综合交通网络,加速市场一体化进程、构建“双核三圈”网络型城市群体系、设立“广深接合片区”并加快打造“广深联动走廊”,开创大湾区高质量协同发展新格局。
