The Faculty of Religious Studies of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) was joined by the Renmin University of China's School of Liberal Arts in hosting the Comparative Literature and Religious Studies round table of the XXII Congress of the International Comparative Literature Association (ICLA) on the 30th and 31st of July, 2019. The event, titled "The Sacred and the Everyday", is being held at the Library near the Treasure of Sacred Art of Saint Joseph's Seminary, built in 1728 and part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Macao, which now holds one of the three USJ campuses.

Welcoming over 20 academics from across the world for two very full days of academic discussion on the theme “The Sacred and the Everyday”, which was divided into eight sessions, the Rector of USJ, Prof. Fr. Peter STILWELL, said that it was a great privilege to have the opportunity to work with scholars of such stature and from such differing cultures and backgrounds to explore how literature can express and analyse the human experience of the encounter between the transcendent and the mundane.

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. The dinner will count with the presence of distinguished guests, such as representatives from the Liaison Office of the People’s Republic of China and the Higher Education Bureau of the Macao SAR Government.

Researchers from the Institute of Science and Environment (ISE) of the University of Saint Joseph (USJ) published a study in Marine Geology. The study focused on the geochemistry of submarine sediments collected in the newly discovered basaltic-hosted Duanqiao-1 hydrothermal field (DHF) on the Southwest Indian Ridge (SWIR).

It joins researchers from SIO, KLSG, SOA, SES - ZJU (Hangzhou), ISE - USJ (Macao), SOC, CUG (Beijing), IDL (Lisbon), SJTU (Shanghai) and CUG (Wuhan).

This paper is part of the project SWIMAR, funded by the Macao Science and Technology Development Fund (FDCT) and coordinated by Prof. Ágata Alveirinho Dias from ISE, who is also a researcher at IDL.

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.
