The XX Pavilion, a temporary bamboo structure designed by the USJ - University of Saint Joseph's Architecture students, was officially inaugurated on October 30th, 2019, and is open to the public until December 8th. The Opening Ceremony counted with the presence of the general public and USJ Community, including the University's Senior Management, government officials, Architects Association of Macau, professionals and students. Part of the Art Macao 2019, this project was organised by the Department of Architecture of the Faculty of Creative Industries. It was funded by the Higher Education Fund of the Macao's Government Higher Education Bureau (DSES).

The XX Pavilion expands on the tradition of USJ's Department of Architecture bamboo pavilions. With a larger scale and complex programme, it sets an inhabitable temporary space that invites participation. This temporary structure celebrates the symbiosis between the craftsmanship of Macao's bamboo scaffolders and the inventiveness and digital design skills of fifth-year architecture students. Inspired by the vernacular bamboo knot technique, the pavilion features a double-cross layout. This design simultaneously commemorates the XX anniversary of Macao SAR and initiates the celebrations of the X anniversary of the USJ's Architecture Programme. The XX Pavilion is open for activities by the USJ and broader local community, standing as an invitation for cross-disciplinary collaboration, hosting exhibitions, lectures, workshops and other events.

In this project, students researched and delved into multiple sources of inspiration, rooted in the traditional techniques used in bamboo scaffolding and bamboo opera theatres, and celebrating the work of other artists/architects, such as local artists João Ó and Rita Machado (Treeplets, State of Mind), and international parametric architect Kristoff Crolla (ZCB Bamboo Pavilion, TOROO), to further innovate and give their contribution to the international contemporary bamboo architecture discourse.

The Department of Architecture of the University of Saint Joseph has been organising the bamboo pavilion project since 2012/2013 with the continuous support of the Macao Foundation. Through the years, architecture students explored the potential of vernacular bamboo techniques in innovative architecture structures. This continuous research and design work resulted in multiple pavilions displayed in Macao: Pulse, Bloom, Trace, Cloud, Elapse, and X-Peax. The project was initiated by Prof. Thomas Daniell and counted with the invaluable contribution and expertise of a talented group of experts that lectured the bamboo pavilion workshop over the years, namely Kristof Crolla, Dannes Kok, Jason Dembski, João Palla, Diogo Teixeira, João Ó, and Neil Sansom.

The XX Pavilion is open to public at USJ’s Ilha Verde Campus until 8 December 2019. All are welcome to visit it during the University’s opening hours.

ABOUT THE TALK

It is well known that people with ASD have difficulty in doing eye contact - such a simple characteristic of social interaction is a huge challenge for them. So, they just don’t look and, more than that, they usually don’t care or don’t understand why it is supposed to do it. But this we all know! And you? How do you look at people with ASD? Ms Fang Jing and Prof. Vitor Teixeira will talk about two different but complementary looks: a psychoeducational look and a psychosocial, humanist look.

Ms Fang Jing will make an introduction to the Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) model. The purpose, the principles, the methods, the role of family and the factors affecting the effectiveness of the intervention will be some of the topics covered in this psychoeducational look. Indispensable tutorials will be shown and different strategies on handling problem behaviors will be discussed.

Prof. Vitor Teixeira will share living experiences with people with ASD. In different contexts, in different situations (educational, social, personal,...), in the last 22 years, there were many opportunities to be together with someone with ASD. That changes the way we look at them. Concrete examples of a psychosocial intervention, namely the role of the counsellor in the Occupational Centre, the Social Life Support Groups and the Clubs for Inclusion will be described.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Fang Jing, a postgraduate student in psychology at Southwest Normal University, a member of the Qingdao Municipal Political Consultative Conference, is currently the director of the Yilin Education and Exhibition Center in Ninghai County, the chairman of the Qingdao Autism Research Association, and the director of the Qingdao Yilin Education Exhibition Center, and Macau Yilin Technology Co., Ltd. technical consultant.

Vitor Teixeira is a clinical child psychologist teaching modules of child development and psychological intervention to education, psychology and social work graduate and undergraduate students. Has a major interest in the topic of “children’s time use” but is also doing research in different domains related to child development, specifically with disabilities and special education needs, trying to contribute to a more inclusive society. Is Associate Professor and the Dean of the USJ’s Faculty of Social Sciences.

On October 26th, Saturday, several members of the Public and International Relations Office took a group of Fall Semester International Exchange Students for dinner at Nga Tim Restaurant, a restaurant located in the Coloane village that has an extensive and rich history.

With the aim of fostering integration with the local culture and costumes, students had the opportunity to savour popular Cantonese dishes, like crispy fried icefishes, traditional Yangzhou fried rice, and clams in black bean sauce.

Right next to the restaurant is the Eduardo Marques Square, a Portuguese-style square where the Chapel of St. Francis Xavier (built in 1928) is located and that brilliantly illustrates the mix between Eastern and Western cultures. It was at this square that the students, after dinner, played with popular children toys “bang snaps” and “air bubbles”, deepening their understanding of the local costumes.

This Macao Inside Out Event, kindly sponsored by the Macao Foundation, ended with a trip to the Tam Kung Temple, a nearby temple that was constructed in 1862 in honour of Tam Kung, one of the Gods who could forecast the weather, according to Chinese folk legends.

Initiated by the Senior Management as a way of strengthening the University mission and enacting its strategic objectives, particularly the aim to “promote whole-person development and institutional accountability”, the Human Resources Office organised two full-day workshops on October 22nd and 23rd. The workshops were facilitated by Krempl Communications International and targeted the University's Heads of Administrative and Support Units.

The main objective was to provide a transformative experience while developing the competencies of the University's middle managers in leadership in a global context. Specifically, it provided tools for the staff to communicate more confidently; to connect on a personal level, thereby establishing high quality interpersonal relationships regardless of individual differences such as culture or ethnicity; and to stand out effectively from their global counterparts.

ABOUT THE FORUM

This Forum is mainly organised for the MCP community (MCP students, professors and alumni) but is also open to all the population of the Faculty of Social Sciences (FSS) and other people interested in themes related to counselling and psychotherapy. The main propose of this Forum is for year 2 MCP students to present and share their research projects with year 1 MCP students. This way, the former will have an opportunity to practice communication skills useful for their oral defense, and the latter will get ideas for their own research and how to organise it. This will also be the moment to give the past students who graduated in 2019 the certificates for their internships. Finally, we will use this opportunity to serve refreshments as a short gathering of the MCP community (students, staff and alumni). We also plan to present the results of research projects conducted in the FSS’s Department of Psychology.

Two members of the University of Saint Joseph participated in the Macao Government's Higher Education Bureau (DSES) activity "Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the region of History Heritage – Exchange Activities between the Youth from Beijing and Macao" from October 16th to 21st, 2019.

Participants visited a variety of Innovation and Entrepreneurship centres and local attractions in Macao and Guangdong.

ABOUT THE TALK

The study of extreme environments and extremophiles is a prominent field of Astrobiology. The interest in surveying analogues to conditions on Mars and icy moons of the solar system, in particular, has been sparked by evidence for the presence of liquid water and brines.

In this seminar we will explore the limits of life by looking into the microbiology of the deep-sea brines of the Red Sea. Deep-sea brines are unusual environments, combining multiple extremes (very high salinity high concentration of heavy metals, increased temperature, high pressure, and anoxic conditions) and are widely recognised as some of the harshest environments on Earth. The brines are remarkably stable and homogenous, with very limited mixing with overlying seawater, which leads to very sharp transition zones at the brine-seawater interfaces (e.g. density, oxygen, temperature, pH). Also, each individual pool has a unique combination of physical-chemical conditions, further enhancing the variety of environmental niches.

Such unique settings make them a privileged location for novel discoveries in the field of microbiology. While they were originally declared sterile, recent research based on a combination of cultivation and molecular-based methods have detected and isolated a wide range of unusual, new extremophiles. Deep-sea brines still remain vastly underexplored, and due to their unique nature should be prioritized as targets for Astrobiological-based research.

ABOUT THE TALK

The Philippines is one of the seventeen megadiversity countries of the world but is also one of the hottest biodiversity hotspots. To protect and conserve its forests and biodiversity, 10 priority protected areas (PAs) are identified in the country. The Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park (NSMNP) is one of the largest PAs in the Philippines with a total area of 359,486 ha, consisting of 287,861 ha (~80%) of terrestrial ecosystem and 71,627 ha (20%) marine ecosystem. The NSMNP is host to endemic and critically endangered fauna, such as the Philippine eagle (Pithecophaga jeferryi), Isabela oriole (Oriolus isabellae), Philippine crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis) and Bitatawa (Varanus bitatawa). While NSMNP has the largest block of remaining forest in the Philippines and rich biodiversity, it was also considered in the early 90s as one of the hottest biodiversity hotspots in the country. To address the threats to the forests and biodiversity and provide the local people with sustainable livelihood opportunities, various integrated and conservation initiatives were undertaken. This presentation will share the strategies implemented, experiences and lessons learned from 3 conservation initiatives where the speaker was involved, namely the: NSMNP Conservation Project (1996-2002); NSMNP Conservation and Development Project (2003-2005); and the Biodiversity and Watersheds Improved for Stronger Economy and Ecosystem Resilience (B+WISER) (2013-2018).

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

Dr. Roberto R. Araño is a former professor and dean of one of the leading state-run forestry institutions in the Philippines. He facilitated a significant number of research projects and programmes, one of which is the establishment of the Northern Sierra Madre in eastern Isabela Province as one of the Ten Priority Protected Areas in the Philippines. He was engaged by Plan International Philippines as Executive Director of the Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park Conservation Project (NSMNP-CP Phase I) in the late 1990s. A major milestone of NSMNP-CP Phase I was the enactment of Republic Act 9125, establishment of the Northern Sierra Madre Natural Park. He was then engaged by the World Wildlife Fund WWF Philippines as Project Manager of NSMNP Conservation and Development Project Phase II in the early 2000s. In February 2013 to September 2018, he was Coordinator of the Philippines Biodiversity and Watersheds Improvement for Stronger Economy and Ecosystem Resilience (B+WISER) Program for three regions, i.e., Region 02 (Cagayan Valley), Region 01 (Ilocos region) and the Cordillera autonomous Region. A major milestone of B+WISER was the issuance of Department of Environment and Natural Resources-Department Administrative Order (DENR-DAO) 2018-21 “Adoption of the Lawin Forest and Biodiversity Protection System as a National Strategy for Forest and Biodiversity Protection in the Philippines.” In his 50 years of service to the forestry profession, he received awards/recognition from various academic, government and non-government institutions in the Philippines.

A delegation of students from the University's School of Business and Law attended the keynote panels and report launch by the Global Tourism Economy Research Centre. The students were impressed by the impact of tourism on the development of East Asian countries and the important role that it places in the global development of economies. This year, Argentina and Brazil were the highlights of the Forum, which saw more than 60,000 visitors from Mainland China to each country this year. Brazil is also one of the Portuguese-speaking Countries that Macao, as a platform between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries, aims to further develop a relationship with.

In addition, a panel on the development of the Greater Bay Area was the second focal point of the event. Distinguished business leaders in the field of Eco-Tourism, Cultural Tourism and Transportation from across China were featured with their prescriptive advice on the future outlook and development of the Greater Bay Area from the tourism perspective.

The forum gave the students a glimpse into the development of tourism in the future of Greater Bay Area. The rich and dynamic prescriptions of industry experts also provided a guiding light in the ever changing industry and the developmental aspects of tourism in the global context.

During the forum, the students also had a chance to meet the legendary Mr. A.J. Hackett who brought the infamous Macao Tower Bungee jump to the city.
