ABOUT THE TALK

This new series of talks ‘In the Beginning was the Word - and they spoke in tongues’ will focus on ancient languages which became relevant to particular Christian communities in their historical and cultural development but are much less known than languages such as Latin or Greek. Some of these ancient languages actually became more than just liturgical languages, turning themselves into a trademark of some communities, as it is the case of Slavonic for some Eastern churches.

Moreover, they function as a reminder that the diversity inside the Church goes back to its very foundation, as portrayed at the Cenacle by the image of the disciples speaking in different languages but understanding each other.

Some of these ancient languages, such as Coptic or Slavonic, are still used today by their religious communities, whereas others, such as Gothic or Old-Nubian, are only known to us from leftovers of New Testament translations or other ancient Christian texts.

Ancient Eastern Languages: Syriac, Classical Armenian, and Old Georgian

This session will look at Classical Armenian and Old Georgian, which, though often forgotten, are two of the most ancient languages used by the early Christian communities that flourished in the Caucasus region.

We will also be looking at Syriac, and ancient language still used today, mainly as liturgical language, by several communities from Lebanon to the south of India. Only recently one of these Syriac speaking communities, the Chaldean Church, was allowed back into Mosul (Iraq) after being ousted by ISIS from its ancient see. Syriac is related to Aramaic, the language used by Jesus and his disciples in their daily lives in ancient Judea.

關於講座｜About the Talk

劉羡冰校長在她最近的新書裏指出，葡萄牙在二次世界大戰中宣布中立，雖然為澳門對日軍侵略起了某種保護作用，但並沒能為這個殖民小城阻止了受周圍地區動亂的嚴峻影響。抗日戰爭期間及隨著香港的淪陷，澳門不只成為各國間諜和顛覆活動的温床，更成為澳門愛國總動員及抗戰運動的主要場地。當時澳門教育界是怎樣面對這個由戰爭引起的蕩動現實？他們又在國家存亡的抗爭戰役中做了什麼的犧牲？他們在澳門及其他地方的中國民族主義漲潮裏扮演着什麼角色？資深教育工作者及澳門歷史學家劉羡冰校長將以她廣博的知識和見解一一細談這些議題。

As Principal Lau Sin Peng points out in her recent book, Portugal’s announcement of neutrality in WWII may have offered Macau a veneer of protection from Japanese military assault, but it did not shelter the tiny colonial city from the tumult and cataclysm around it. During the War of Resistance and especially following the fall of Hong Kong to the Japanese, not only was Macau a hotbed of spycraft and subversion, it was also a prime haven for patriotic mobilization and resistance efforts. How did Macau’s schools and teachers and students cope with the blunt realities of war-induced turmoil? What sacrifices did they make in the broader campaign for national survival? What role did they play in the upsurge of Chinese nationalism in the city and beyond? Principal Lau, a renowned educator and historian of Macau, shares with us her vast store of knowledge and insights on these subjects.

On 6th March, at the invitation of USJ, Stephenie Ao Man Wa, Head of Education and Dissemination Division, Ellie Lou Cam Kiu, Public Relations Officer and another officer from the Community Relations Department of Commission Against Corruption of the Macau SAR delivered a Seminar on Integrity for Tertiary Students in the university.  They were warmly received by Prof. Vincent Cheng Yang, Vice Rector of USJ, Prof. Ansoumane Douty Diakite, Coordinator of BBA Programme and Teresa Loong, Director of Office for Student Affairs, Derek Wong, Administrative Officer and students of the School of Business of USJ.

During the seminar, Ms. Lou gave a presentation mainly to introduce Law No. 19/2009 (Prevention and Repression of Corruption in Private Sector). This was followed by an intensive discussion with the professors and students regarding the typologies of bribes under the law of Macau, procedures to file a complaint, and practical issues of corruption and fraud in real estate business. After the seminar, Vice Rector Yang expressed gratitude to the CCAC guests. Through this activity, he said, the staff and students were able to improve their understanding of the law in Macau on the prevention of corruption and, in particular, it could help the students developing their capacity to reject corruptive practices after they graduate from the university and start working in private sectors.

A group of 6 Master and PhD students of the Institute of Science and Environment (ISE) of USJ, together with 6 CSR staff of Macau, visited the Eco-Park in Tuen Mun, Hong Kong on Monday 26th February 2018. The visit was organised by Prof. Franz Gassner and PhD Student Mr. Warren Man Ho Li. The first stop was Hong Kong’s first WEEE (Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment) e-scrap recycling facility, financed by the Hong Kong government (US$ 74 million) and developed and managed by Germany's ALBA Group, which will run the plant together with the collection system for 10 years. Located at Tuen Mun EcoPark, north of Hong Kong’s International Airport, the new WEEE facility can handle up to 30 000 tonnes of  “Flatties”, “Tubies”, “Washies” and “Fridgies”. With its annual electronic scrap volumes of more than 70 000 tonnes equating to almost 22 kg per capita, Hong Kong is Asia's biggest e-scrap generator, encompassing computers, fridges, TV sets, mountains of rice cookers and discarded air-conditioners (Hong Kong installs annually 400.000 new air-conditioners). 80% of Hong Kong's electronic scrap is, at the moment, exported to developing countries while 20% is dumped in local landfills. The official opening of the e-scrap facility in Tun Mun will take place on St. Josephs Day, 19th March 2018 in the presence of CEO Ms. Carrie Lam.

The second stop of the student tour was the new Eco-Park Visitor Centre, a large-scale education resource centre on resource awareness, recycling, and municipal waste.

About the Talk

This new series of talks ‘In the Beginning was the Word - and they spoke in tongues’ will focus on ancient languages which became relevant to particular Christian communities in their historical and cultural development but are much less known than languages such as Latin or Greek. Some of these ancient languages actually became more than just liturgical languages, turning themselves into a trademark of some communities, as it is the case of Slavonic for some Eastern churches. Moreover, they function as a reminder that the diversity inside the Church goes back to its very foundation, as portrayed at the Cenacle by the image of the disciples speaking in different languages but understanding each other. Some of these ancient languages, such as Coptic or Slavonic, are still used today by their religious communities, whereas others, such as Gothic or Old-Nubian, are only known to us from leftovers of New Testament translations or other ancient Christian texts.

Ancient African Languages: Coptic, Ge’ez and Old Nubian

This session will look at Coptic, which is the language used by Christians in Egypt and the only remain of the ancient language of the pharaohs, and at Ge’ez or Classical Ethiopian, the official language of the Monophysite churches of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Ge’ez has been described as the Sanskrit of the Semitic languages. These languages and their communities managed to resist islamisation of the North of Africa and to this day keep up the fight for survival.

The ancient African Christian kingdoms of Makuria and Nobatia, in present day North Sudan, cannot claim to have had the same capacity of resistance and a few texts written in Old Nubian are all of what is all left from these old Christian communities.

ABOUT THE TALK

A will-to-design (will-to-order) and an understanding of architecture as a response to the reality are two primal forces or tendencies in thinking / doing architecture. While the conflict between these two forces is founder of architecture and its articulation allows to discuss and identify key aspects of contemporary architecture production. The Wittgenstein’s House is brilliantly inaugurated by Jan Turnovski as an example of the discussion. In this conference, Nuno Crespo talks about the discussion by highlighting its main aspects and contextualises it in Wittgenstein’s definition of architecture and how its philosophy and work as an architect allows to access the core issues of the relation between architecture and philosophy as well as ethics and aesthetics. Examples characterised by individual attitudes and exemplary cases are studied as well.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER

About the Talk

Ovarian folliculogenesis is one of the most dynamic physiological and developmental processes in vertebrates. Despite numerous studies on this issue in mammals, the molecular mechanisms that control follicle development, especially the early phase of folliculogenesis, still remain poorly understood.  Gonadotropins are primary endocrine hormones that control ovarian development and function.  In addition, various local paracrine and autocrine factors in the ovary also play important roles in this process.  Although the endocrine and paracrine controls of folliculogenesis have been studied in fish, there has been a lack of genetic data on their functional importance, mostly due to unavailability of the gene knockout approach in fish models.  Using zebrafish as the model and the emerging genome editing technologies, TALEN and CRISPR/Cas9, we have analyzed the roles of both endocrine hormones such as FSH and LH from the pituitary and local ovarian paracrine factors such as GDF9 in controlling folliculogenesis.  Our data showed that follicle development in the zebrafish involves both external endocrine hormones and internal paracrine factors in the ovary.
