Two University of Saint Joseph (USJ) students, Kuok Hoi Man, Carman, and Hoi Wan Ieng, Sora, recently attended the 10th University Scholars Leadership Symposium (USLS) 2019 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. In total, 873 delegates from 57 countries attended the event. The programme consisted of a week of networking, with the aim of helping communities in need, and hearing from humanitarian speakers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

The electrifying atmosphere at the USLS ignited their passion for humanity and, at the same time, the delegates were encouraged to step out of their comfort zone, and set their hearts on greater causes. It challenged people to live a life as a servant leader with passion, persistence, patience and purpose.

Reflection from Carman:

The USLS was an incredible experience that I will never forget. The unique opportunity to exchange internationally and meet like-minded individuals from diverse cultures, languages and backgrounds, and to serve the community together, it was a fantastic way to appreciate the innate humanity which connects us all.

In the USLS I learnt more than what is mentioned. It reminds me of the power of individuals. Instead of thinking "can I help you?", I would replace this question by "How can I help at least?". The speakers of the USLS inspired me a lot. As an educator, I am ready to serve my community in education field. I am motivated to help those in need and develop myself continually in order to help more people.

Reflection from Sora:

It was really a great opportunity to participate in the University Scholars Leadership Symposium, which inspired me a lot.

The speakers brought up three questions which lead me to thinking about how I can be better in the position of a leader. “Where can I help”, “How can I help” and “What can I do to help”. The three questions maybe just normal questions but, to be a leader, you should keep on thinking those questions.

The University Scholars Leadership Symposium gave me a chance to think, to ask and to apply. The talks never tell you how you could become better in leadership, instead of giving answers, they shared stories or, I must say, the real facts of what is happening in the world today, to give you the inspiration of thinking.

What I remember the most about the trip is the Service Day for the refugees. The organisers asked us to serve the refugees by playing, having fun and sharing happy moments with them. After that, I am really sorry to say, I might have been the happiest one in my group. It was a great pleasure to meet and get to know my group mates, having such fun and communicating with everyone. People have their own personalities and characteristics and, despite our differences, we still can be friends with each other. Just bear in mind that we need to respect each other.

Refugees could not choose their lives and they are not criminals, they are just little ones who, like us, look for safety and security. They just seek comfort and peace and nothing else. But criminals are the ones who force others.

Everyone has the power to change, and the power to influence someone else. Why do not we make the world a better place, make life better for us all?

In conclusion, I want to use a quote from Katie Couric, “Changing the world doesn't happen all at once. It isn't a big bang. It's an evolution, the sum of a billion tiny sparks.”

Therefore, just go and find something that you care about enough to act and take the first step.

Papers were presented by, amongst others, Prof. Huilin YANG (Renmin University of China) on Between “the Sacred / the Everyday” and “Being / Non-being”, Prof. William FRANKE, (Vanderbilt University, USA) on Technological Transformation and Postmodern Re-enchantment of the Everyday and Prof. Pan-chiu LAI (Chinese University of Hong Kong) on “The Secular as Sacred” or “the Sacred as Secular”? - The Problem of “Immanence vs. Transcendence” in Christian-Confucian Comparison. A number of Macao-based academics, including the Dean of USJ's Faculty of Religious Studies, Prof. Stephen MORGAN, and Fr. Cyril LAW also presented papers at the round table.

The round table is generously sponsored by the Shanghai Jiao Tong University's School of Humanities and the Diocese of Macao, whose Bishop, the Most Reverend Stephen Lee Bun-sang, will host a welcome dinner for the participants.

Researchers from the Institute of Science and Environment (ISE) of the University of Saint Joseph have determined how the locally consumed Asiatic clam Meretrix meretrix responds to 4,4-dichlorobenzophenone (DCBP), a breakdown product of the pesticide Dicofol (DDT-like).

The study, published in Chemosphere, evaluated how clams uptake and depurate environmental (50 ng/L) and supra-environmental (500 ng/L) concentrations of DCBP in water. Similar bioconcentration factors were obtained for both concentrations of DCBP but only clams exposed to environmental concentrations successfully depurated after 24 h. Although clams exposed to supra-concentration presented higher elimination factor, they did not reach the original levels after depuration. Moreover, values detected in these clams were higher than the Maximum Residue Level (10 ng/g) established by the European legislation. This indicates that longer periods of depuration time than the ones used in this study may be needed in order to reach safe levels for human consumption.

The study provides important information on the danger that DCBP poses and subsequent implications to consumers if depuration time given to exposed clams is not enough. This will also help formulate relevant warning measures in aquaculture (in the event of excessive water contamination), for example, whether to ban or recommend a longer depuration period than what is normally being practiced.

This study was accomplished through the MacGroves project funded by the Macao Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT), coordinated by Prof. Karen Araño Tagulao and Prof. Chan Shek Kiu of ISE. The team also included Lucia Ivorra (PhD student, ISE/USJ), Patricia Cardoso Teixeira (Consultant, CIIMAR, University of Porto) and Catarina Cruzeiro (Consultant, University of Coimbra).

On 29 June, the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) opened the Bishop Domingos Lam Centre for Research in Education. The Research Centre in Education is being named after Bishop Emeritus of Macao Don Domingos Lam Ka Tseung (澳門林家駿主教) as a recognition for his deep interest, involvement and support in the setting up of USJ and for all his contributions to the development of education and social services in Macao. The Centre has received generous start-up funding and support from the Diocese of Macao, and immense personal support from the Bishop of Macao, Don Stephen Lee Bun-sang. It focuses on conducting and reporting research that brings direct benefit to Macao’s schools and education, addressing local issues and serving the Macao community as well as looking more widely, drawing on international research evidence.

The Centre seeks to promote and sustain the development of research in education, to link research and educational practice, policy making, decision making and action, to disseminate the results of research through a range of channels, and to be a resource for educational research findings and their dissemination. The Centre will run training and development on research in education, and provide seminars, workshops, and conferences on research in education.  It is designed to develop and provide consultancy and programme development and to engage with global educational networks through the dissemination of its activities and findings.

The Centre Research in Education has several areas of initial research focus, of topical interest to Macao, including: Catholic schooling; inclusive education; early years’ education; ICT; leadership and management; curriculum and pedagogy; education and society; and education and well-being. It already has identified many projects for research, conferences, courses and workshops.

The Centre involves resident academics from a range of disciplines in USJ, together with visiting academic staff who have close connections with the University, from Australia, the UK, South-east Asia and Europe. As part of the School of Education and the University, it works with funded research and postgraduate research projects, training up the next generation of researchers in education.

In the opening speeches, speakers noted that the Centre seeks to work closely with the local community and local networks of schools to provide a range of research-based services. It aims to bring forward research and development projects that meet the needs of the local community in an era of change, and to improve local education by using research evidence and evidence-informed decision making, see dlcre.usj.edu.mo.

The opening ceremony included the book launch of "Perspectives on Inclusion", with contributions from local and international authors, focusing on inclusive education in Macao.
