This book focuses on Lam Woo, a wellknown, highly successful Chinese building contractor whose company was based in Hong Kong at the beginning of the twentieth century. It is also about the marginal group of people he exemplifies, those who joined the Chinese diaspora because of poverty and political turmoil and were later driven back home because of discrimination and other difficulties. An important contribution to Hong Kong Studies, this book provides a window onto the sociopolitical conditions in Hong Kong leading up to and following the 1911 revolution that established the Republic of China and the following two decades. In studying Lam Woo's life and family, we catch a glimpse of the lives of a unique segment of the Hong Kong Chinese community—namely, the educated, westernized Chinese, mainly Christians, some of whom supported the revolution to overthrow the Qing dynasty and helped to establish Hong Kong's influential YMCA. Professor Chan, who has written several books on Hong Kong History, draws on rich archival sources, and historical photographs to illustrate the life of a man who was a pioneer builder of majestic heritage buildings throughout Hong Kong such as St. Paul's Church, St. Paul's Coeducational College, the Diocesan Boys' School, and St. Stephen's College, all of which remain in use today. This book is a significant historical study that rediscovers an important but less studied part of Hong Kong's development during the early twentieth century. For instance, the book details Lam Woo's efforts in rebuilding the port facilities and docks that helped the colony's transformation into a glamorous, international port. The author also discusses how Lam Woo's contributions to the building of the roads encircling the New Territories and the bridges linked different parts of the territory with mainland China, where water and food supplies would later come from. In the later part of the book, the author highlights how Lam Woo, a devout Anglican, contributed to the expansion of the Chinese Anglican Church community. As one of the founders of St. Paul's Church, he promoted the establishment of the Hong Kong YMCA, with its emphasis on character training in "the development of body, mind, and spirit" for young people. The book emphasizes that his most lasting legacy for Hong Kong and his native Guangzhou was through his philanthropist activities in education. Lam Woo supported education for girls and founded St. Paul's Girls' School, the forerunner of the notable St. Paul's Coeducational College, founded a primary and a secondary school in his native village, and donated extensively to Lingnan University.

以香港為基地的林護（1870–1933），是中國二十世紀初一個非常成功的建築商。他十四歲便離鄉別井，隻身前往澳洲謀生。這成長期決定了他的前途以及對家庭、社會和國家的態度。林護在澳洲認識基督教，以及後來成為百貨業巨擘的馬氏和郭氏兄弟。通過教會和商界，他建立了一個良好的網絡。這些關係，日後在商業上對他起?舉足輕重的作用。他逗留澳洲期間，正是它立國之時，這巧遇激起了他的民族意識和愛國精神。林護相信「商業救國」的論述，當清政府號召國民和華僑支持國家的工商業時，林護和一些四邑商人組成財團在華南投資。二十世紀初，他與孫中山先生結交，從此大力支持革命。辛亥革命之後，林護致力發展中國的城市，希望藉此帶動當地的商業活動。聯益建造公司在上海建造的豪華大廈成了最佳廣告，使林護的公司在香港變成「搶手貨」。在二十世紀的頭三十年，亦即香港充滿活力的過渡期，林護的公司承辦了政府的幾項基建工程。它又曾經在香港和內地的大城市建造過很多優秀的大廈。到了1930年代，為了不讓公司過度發展，以免應接不暇，他決定把注意力集中於香港和廣州。林護積極支持教育，其對教育的支持和投入，至今仍然通過「林護基金」而延續下去。 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 本人曾就讀廣州嶺南小學、中學及大學，但我從沒有見過林護先生，只知他是我兩位嶺南好學長林植豪先生及林植宣先生昆仲的父親。在嶺南讀書時，我知道林護先生是廣州嶺南大學其中一位校董，後來在香港工作時，又知道他是香港建築界鉅子，對香港影響深遠。他是虔誠的基督徒，熱愛教會，關心社會，其中聖公會聖保羅堂亦是在他督導下興建的。他的家族成員均在嶺南接受教育，其後人更於廣州現有的嶺南（大學）學院捐建林護堂，以紀念這位偉大的人物。此書深入講述林護先生一生的奮鬥事跡及其對社會的貢獻，他是值得我們景仰的前輩及學習的好榜樣。──美心集團創辦人伍沾德博士 林護是一位名副其實的建造者：他建造的不僅是香港有形的大廈和各種設施，還有這個城市以及某些地區無形的文化和教育。通過這本描述林先生生平的書籍，陳慕華教授寫出了一位一生為社會謀福利，並遺澤後世的慈善家感人的奮鬥史。──經綸慈善基金有限公司總裁徐立之教授

As the longest serving and the most influential bishop of Hong Kong during one of the most tumultuous periods in China’s history, Bishop R. O. Hall played a crucial role in the reconstruction of the Anglican Church and Hong Kong after the Second World War. Born in England, the bishop committed his life to building bridges: between China and England; between Hong Kong workers and company management; between the government and the Hong Kong people; and, of course, between the Hong Kong people he loved and the Divine he worshipped. His single-mindedness in pursuing and translating the social theology of F. D. Maurice into practical terms resulted in his enormous contributions to the development of social welfare, low-cost housing, and education in postwar Hong Kong and helped spur its economic and social evolution into a global city. This book highlights the two major controversies during his episcopacy: the ordination of a woman priest during the war and his visit to China during the “Hundred Flowers Campaign.” Based on primary archival and private materials, this book shows that Bishop Hall, whole-hearted in pursuit of his goals for Hong Kong through “love-in-action,” was also multifaceted, with longings, questions, and inner contradictions we all share.

NAFLD and NASH refer to the hepatic phenotype of metabolic syndromes strongly associated with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. NAFLD and NASH have complex pathogenesis modulated not only by the liver but also by muscle, adipose tissue, pancreas, gut microbiome, and immune and central nervous systems. This complex pathology, coupled with insulin resistance, lipid and bile acid changes, and congenital genetic predisposition, induces liver injury due to oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and autophagy dysfunction. Additionally, NAFLD and NASH contribute to diseases such as cirrhosis, atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, lung disease, and cancer in various organs, leading to systemic multi-organ damage. Even though enthusiastic development of new drugs for NAFLD and NASH has been underway, we are still lacking progress in generating therapeutic agents based on multiorgan-related pathomechanisms. In this special issue, we welcome clinical and basic studies on extrahepatic lesions as well as new findings related to liver pathology in NAFLD and NASH. Topic Editors welcome manuscripts particularly focusing on new therapies and new signaling pathways on the multiorgan-linkage of NAFLD and NASH.

Construction History, Construction Heritage, Recent Construction, Historiography, Industrialization, Engineering Sciences, Building Materials, Building Actors Construction History is still a fairly new and small but quickly evolving field. The current trends in Construction History are well reflected in the papers of the present conference. Construction History has strong roots in the historiography of the 19th century and the evolution of industrialization, but the focus of our research field has meanwhile shifted notably to include more recent and also more distant histories as well. This is reflected in these conference proceedings, where 65 out of 148 contributed papers deal with the built heritage or building actors of the 20th or 21st century. The conference also mirrors the wide spectrum of documentary and analytical approaches comprised within the discipline of Construction History. Papers dealing with the technical and functional analysis of specific buildings or building types are complemented by other studies focusing on the lives and formation of building actors, from laborers to architects and engineers, from economical aspects to social and political implications, on legal aspects and the strong ties between the history of construction and the history of engineering sciences. The conference integrates perfectly into the daily work at the Institute for Preservation and Construction History at ETH Zurich. Its two chairs – the Chair for Building Archaeology and Construction History and the Chair for Construction Heritage and Preservation – endeavor to cover the entire field and to bridge the gaps between the different approaches, methodologies and disciplines, between various centuries as well as technologies – learning together and from each other. The proceedings of 8ICCH give a representative picture of the state of the art in the field, and will serve as a reference point for future studies.

This volume brings together a diverse range of contributors to explore the significance of intersectionality and transnationalism, with reference to the history of education. The chapters cover a range of educational spaces and places and demonstrate the possibilities that theoretical approaches can offer to scholars at all levels of their academic career. The chapters focus specifically on women’s activism in order to maintain a coherent framework of research that is brought together in an introduction and concluding thoughts. The significance of gender as relational and a symbol of power ensures that men and masculinities are not overlooked but recognized as integral to understanding gender dynamics as they affected women’s education and the ways in which that education took place.
