Hearing loss creates barriers to communication and potentially leads to language delay and other cognitive and social psychological consequences that hamper the literacy development and school performance of deaf and hard-of-hearing (HDD) children. To tackle this problem, one recent proposal is to prescribe hearing devices and speech and language therapy to HDD children to enhance their hearing and oral language performance, and at the same time, expose them to sign language, a barrier-free visual language, in order to strengthen their conceptual foundation of language knowledge. The emergence of Sign Linguistics research has proven beyond doubt that sign language has a linguistic system independent of the surrounding spoken language, and, as a natural language, is acquirable by humans. As such, empirical studies on the acquisition of a spoken language and a sign language either simultaneously or sequentially at a young age (i.e. bimodal bilingual acquisition) have begun to show that both HDD and hearing children are potentially competent bilingual language users, if certain conditions are met.

In this presentation, we argue that Sign Bilingualism and Co-enrolment (SLCO) in a regular school setting potentially fulfills such conditions. By way of demonstrating how the SLCO model works in a programme conducted in HK, we highlight the ingredients for strengthening the bimodal bilingual development of DHH and hearing students in the classroom, thereby removing the language barrier for the creation of an inclusive ecosystem in a regular school environment.

About the Talk

This lecture is about the poetry of Camilo Pessanha, his intensive philosophical reflection, in the wake of Antero de Quental. “...Um resto de batel (...) para não afundar na treva imensa: “the remains of a boat, so as not to sink into the immense darkness”, pleads the verse which, at the beginning of his poetic career, mirrors the metaphysical pain of Camilo Pessanha. The poet finds himself in a universe without God and submited to a life not glorified as a Destiny. Pessanha’s verses are imbued with  oriental wisdom, not as an exotic element, but,  along with opium, as a kind of narcotic,  a sort of slight balm, yet able to mitigate an incurable metapshysical pain.

A visit to University of Saint Joseph’s Future Campus at Ilha Verde was held at noon time on Saturday, 29^th April 2017. The visit began with an introductory speech by Fr. Peter Stilwell, Rector of USJ, followed by some words of welcome by USJ’s new Chancellor, Bishop of Macao Diocese Rev. Stephan Lee. Guests were then invited on a guided tour around the new campus and a simple standing lunch.

The Visit was attended by prestigious guests, such as: the Head of the Holy See Study Mission, Msgr. Ante Jozic; Bishop Emeritus of Macao Diocese, Rev. José Lai;  Acting Director of the Tertiary Education Services Office (GAES), Mr. Chang Kun Hong; Deputy Director of Department of Culture and Education of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in Macao SAR, Mr. Li Yongxian; Deputy President of the Macao Foundation, Ms. Chong Yee; Head of Division of Educational Equipment of the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau, Mr. Wong Chio In; Head of Department of Research and Planning of the Social Affairs Bureau, Ms. Tang Kit Fong;Priests from the Macao Diocese and Parishes; Principals and representatives from local high schools; and representatives from local associations.

During the tour, visitors were welcomed by students of the university, and guests were amazed by the state-of-art design of the campus and its facilities. The guided tour took the guests to the large and small auditoriums, classrooms, dormitory, swimming pool, in-door basketball court and gymnasium. Booths and showrooms were set up across the central garden and classrooms on the 1^st floor for the visit of USJ’s friends and community.

In the afternoon, students of USJ and students from local high schools were invited to have a preview of the future campus of the University of Saint Joseph. The University’s international students arranged different cultural experiences for the visits, with booth games, food from different parts of the world and cultural dance performance. Through the exhibits and presentations in classrooms, organised by the seven USJ’s academic units, students had a glimpse of the future study life in the university’s colourful campus.

The consultant, Mr. Ian Fleming, former inspector of BAC and QAA, carried out a formal inspection in the form of a mock Institutional Accreditation by BAC. The six areas inspected included: Governance, Strategy and Financial Management; Academic Management and Administration; Teaching, Learning and Assessment; Student Recruitment, Support, Guidance and Progression; Premises, Facilities and Learning Resources; and Quality Management, Assurance and Enhancement. Of the 27 standards under these six areas of inspection USJ fully met 18 and partially met 6.  The 3 standards “not met” were in the area of quality management, and this pre-accreditation exercise was precisely part of the consolidation of those procedures. USJ received high commendation in this mock accreditation for:

• its facilities and premises, due especially to its state-of-the-art new campus in Ilha Verde;
• its library resources and education tradition;
• its small class size; and
• its support to academic staff for career enhancement and research.

Future action to be taken by the university includes consolidating its policies and procedures for clearer referencing, and developing an internal quality assurance manual to help enhance teaching, learning and assessment. The university will also engage students directly in future QA processes and performance reviews. The result of the mock-accreditation was positive, though there is much still to enhance and develop. According to the consultant, if things proceed as they have done so far, USJ should be ready for international accreditation in a year or so, after settling into its new campus."

ABOUT THE TALK At the mention of exceptional abilities, IQ and giftedness come to mind. However, the term exceptional ability refers to that capability of an individual who can achieve at a level of capacity that is significantly in advance of his/her peer group. In mainstream schools, students with exceptional abilities are always considered academically gifted and/or talented with a high level of intelligence or an IQ score of more than 130 or in the 98th percentile range. However, this is not always the case. There are those whose exceptional abilities are found in non-academic areas and they possess the inherent inclination to react intensely to individually different stimuli and hence, amplify socio-emotional growth. Termed as overexcitabilities by Kazimierz Dabrowski (b.1902-d.1980), there are five categories of overexcitabilities that are manifested in different forms of socio-emotional behavioral challenges: psychomotor, sensual, intellectual, imaginational and emotional intensities. A clear understanding of these overexcitabilities will help teachers to better understand why their students with exceptional abilities are behaving in certain ways or manners.

To finalize this introduction, the forces acting in the Earth's interior, and their effects will be included. Based on this knowledge of rock behaviour and forces, we will travel from the Earth's surface down to the core, through its main layers and their mineral and mechanical properties, and along the most dynamic settings of the Earth's interior in the framework of Plate Tectonics: mantle convection, subduction zones, continental and oceanic rifts, and unstable topographic reliefs. In the end, movies of numerical models of some fundamental processes related to Plate Tectonics will be shown.   About the Speaker Fernando Ornelas Marques got his PhD in Geodynamics from the University of Lisbon, where he currently is Assistant Professor with Habilitation.

About the Talk

Giuseppe Castiglione (Lang Shining, Milano 1688- Beijing 1766) was a devoted Jesuit missionary, and a truly innovative and cross-cultural artist. His talent was used by the Society of Jesus for diplomatic purposes for example to win over the appreciation from the Manchurian court.

All of the religious works Castiglione painted for Beijing churches and private chapels are lost. Significantly, we can still admire Lang Shining’s secular projects (such as the Western style buildings of Yuanmingyuan Garden) to try to understand his trans-formative mental journey in Qing dynasty China, as well as his contribution to early modern Chinese aesthetic.

In fact, working for three Emperors Castiglione bridged Italian sensibility with a Chinese sense of beauty.

The conference highlights Castiglione’s vocational upbringing in Italy as well as his Jesuit spirituality which laid the groundwork for his achievements in Beiing. This is a first step to better analyze which sources and references inspired Lang Shining’s masterpieces at the Qing court.

About the Talk

Under the major work of non-tertiary education and youth affairs in the academic year 2016/2017 by the Education and Youth Affairs Bureau (DSEJ), strengthening students’ counselling and support for parents of students with special educational needs is vital for Macau education system.

Special education teachers are recognized to be prior important for schools to have them in order to provide professional technical support for schools that implement inclusive education and enable schools to assist parents and families with different supporting needs of inclusive students.

This public lecture would be able to explore the current situation in Macau schooling on special education needs and inclusive education, and also demonstrating how teachers would be able to identify the characteristics of special needs students and how they would be able to assist them in learning.

About the Speaker

Sou Fei has been working in the field of inclusive education and special needs education for nearly 10 years already.  She graduated from National Kaohsiung Normal University in Taiwan 2007, came back to Macau and began working with the special needs students since then.

She has experience working with different non-profit organizations, schools and government departments in correlation to the service for special needs students and their parents and families.

Promoting the importance about inclusive and special needs education to teachers and school administrators is also her main concern.  She is currently giving consultation to special cases and advises to schools on working with inclusive and special needs students.

About the Talk

Dysfunctions in brain cholesterol homeostasis have been extensively related to brain disorders. The major elimination pathway of brain cholesterol is its hydroxylation into 24 (S)-hydroxycholesterol by the cholesterol 24- hydroxylase (CYP46A1). Interestingly, there seems to be an association between CYP46A1 and high-order brain functions, in a sense that increased expression of this hydroxylase improves cognition, while a reduction leads to a poor cognitive performance. Moreover, increasing amount of epidemiological, biochemical and molecular evidence, suggests that CYP46A1 has a role in the pathogenesis or progression of neurodegenerative disorders, in which up-regulation of this enzyme is clearly beneficial. However, the mechanisms underlying these effects are poorly understood, which highlights the importance of studies that further explore the role of CYP46A1 in the central nervous system. We will summarize the major findings regarding CYP46A1, and highlight the several recently described pathways modulated by this enzyme from a physiological and pathological perspective, which might account for novel therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative disorders.

About the Speaker

Elsa Rodrigues is an Assistant Professor at Faculty of Pharmacy, Universidade de Lisboa (iMed.ULisboa-FFUL). She holds a degree in Biology and a PhD in Molecular Biology. During her Doctoral studies at Maria Celeste Lechner’s lab at the FFUL in collaboration with Patrick Maurel (Unité INSERM 128), she elucidated mechanisms involved in gene regulation of liver-specific Cytochrome P450 genes. In the last 10 years, Elsa’s main goal is to characterize the regulatory pathways involved in brain cholesterol homeostasis, and therefore to provide a basis for the development of therapeutic approaches for diseases that stretch from genetic disorders, such as Niemann Pick Type C, to neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s Disease. Her focus has been on the potential beneficial modulation of cholesterol homeostasis through ectopic expression or pharmacological up-regulation/activation of the neuronal specific cholesterol 24-hydroxylase encoded by the cytochrome P450 CYP46A1 gene.
