楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Recognizing rapidly ageing population is one key concern faced by cities and the challenge it would present to healthcare system, this book looks at ageing in China’s population as well as the delivery and financing of long-term care (LTC) in China.</p> <p>The book compares key features of long-term care insurance (LTCI) schemes in 15 pilot cities and evaluates the sustainability of various financing models adopted by the cities in the LTCI schemes. The book uses an interpretive case study approach to give an in-depth look into the LTC models in three pilot cities ? Qingdao, Nantong, and Shanghai. The three cities represent three different models of financing and delivering LTC. To assess how effective the LTC models in these three cities are, the book uses five criteria, including utilization of medical resources, cost, equity, quality of care and sustainability. Also, the authors discuss how the financing and delivery of LTC can be improved in China, the impact of the 2019 coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on older adults in need of LTC in the country and the implications of China’s LTCI reform for other countries.</p> <p>The book will be a useful reference to scholars and policy-makers who look at urban ageing and healthcare costs and delivery.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,116円

Reel Inequality Hollywood Actors and Racism【電子書籍】[ Nancy Wang Yuen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>When the 2016 Oscar acting nominations all went to whites for the second consecutive year, #OscarsSoWhite became a trending topic. Yet these enduring racial biases afflict not only the Academy Awards, but also Hollywood as a whole. Why do actors of color, despite exhibiting talent and bankability, continue to lag behind white actors in presence and prominence?</p> <p><em>Reel Inequality</em> examines the structural barriers minority actors face in Hollywood, while shedding light on how they survive in a racist industry. The book charts how white male gatekeepers dominate Hollywood, breeding a culture of ethnocentric storytelling and casting. Nancy Wang Yuen interviewed nearly a hundred working actors and drew on published interviews with celebrities, such as Viola Davis, Chris Rock, Gina Rodriguez, Oscar Isaac, Lucy Liu, and Ken Jeong, to explore how racial stereotypes categorize and constrain actors. Their stories reveal the day-to-day racism actors of color experience in talent agents’ offices, at auditions, and on sets. Yuen also exposes sexist hiring and programming practices, highlighting the structural inequalities that actors of color, particularly women, continue to face in Hollywood.</p> <p>This book not only conveys the harsh realities of racial inequality in Hollywood, but also provides vital insights from actors who have succeeded on their own terms, whether by sidestepping the system or subverting it from within. Considering how their struggles impact real-world attitudes about race and diversity, <em>Reel Inequality</em> follows actors of color as they suffer, strive, and thrive in Hollywood.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 2,990円

Marriage, Gender and Sex in a Contemporary Chinese Village【電子書籍】[ Sun-Pong Yuen ]

According to the authors, the rural economic reforms of the 1980s in southern China have challenged and reinforced the deep structure of Chinese familism and this has lead to tensions between tradition and modernity.

In Part II, the transition from a traditional to a modern society is discussed from the perspective of several women from different generations.

Christians Are Not Fools【電子書籍】[ Yuen Chi Wong ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Many believers feel that the Christian faith cannot help them face the challenges of reason and reality, leading them to gradually grow indifferent and withdraw. At the same time, many non-believers think that the Christian faith lacks scientific basis and imposes too many restrictions, thus rejecting it. So, is the Christian faith a foolish superstition, or is it the gospel that truth-seekers long for? We sincerely invite you to examine the Christian faith together and explore why one-third of the world's population chooses to believe in it. Christians are not fools; the Christian faith is rational and well-founded, and the lives of Christians are filled with hope, joy, and blessings! This book explores topics such as: (a) Do modern people, emphasizing science and fortune-telling, no longer believe in religion? (b) Have the Big Bang theory, Abiogenesis, and Evolution disproved creationism? (c) Can a loving and just God exist in a world full of suffering and evil? (d) Are the rational evidences supporting the Christian Faith valid and sufficient? (e) How does the Christian faith reveal goodness and beauty as a gospel for humanity? (f) Is life inherently painful and meaningless, or can it be abundant and fulfilling? (g) Responses to challenges of faith… and much more.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 502円

Her cousin, Fevronia Watkins, takes the role of Dr. John Watson. I shall let her open the story in her own voice:</p> <p><em>I was born in 1872, in Worcester, Massachusetts in the fair hills and glens of New England. Our farm was somewhat secluded from the town, and my mother wished me to remain by her side, so I did not attend school. Rather, I was educated at home, My reading was varied, and ranged from the Bible to Alexander Pope. My parents were strongly liberal in their ideas, and supported emancipation and suffrage for all.</em></p> <p><em>My Father, Jonathan Bearnard Watkins, had been born in Worcester some thirty years before my own arrival, and it was his family's farm to which he had brought his bride, my mother. Born Cairisti?na Muire Holmes, she traveled across the Atlantic Ocean with him to embark on this new life. They had met while he was on holiday in Scotland, and his parents are said to have been much surprised at her arrival. They were able to enjoy a long honeymoon, as my own arrival was some years later.</em></p> <p><em>In the year 1884, both of my parents died of consumption. Those few relatives I had in New England were burdened with troubles of their own, and had no wherewithal to spend on an orphan such as myself, nor did they wish to be in contact with one who had had close association with such a dread disease.</em></p> <p><em>It was determined that my little inheritance should be used to book passage for me to the Hawaiian Islands where my Mother's Brother should assume my maintenance. This was deemed especially appropriate as his wife had died two years before, and he had a girl near in age to myself. It was thought that we two girls should be companions and comfort each other in our mutual maternal losses.</em></p> <p><em>This girl, Lydia Kamaka?imi?ike K?wau Holmes, my own cousin, became my dearest friend. Herein I offer my chronicles of her life and adventures.</em></p> <h4>Purpose</h4> <p>As an educator in Hawaiian history, culture, and arts, I am always seeking fun and interesting ways to teach. The late monarchy era of Hawai?i was a time of rapid change, and understanding it helps bring understanding of modern Hawai?i.</p> <h4>Setting</h4> <p>The series begins in New England and Hawai?i of the late 1800s and is based on extensive research of the place and era.

Analysis of Experimental Data Microsoft?Excel or Spss??! Sharing of Experience English Version Book 3【電子書籍】[ Ping Yuen PY Cheng ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>The first characteristic of this book is the skipping of difficult theories, starting directly with typical examples, and the working out of the answers clearly by computer software. The aim is to help readers to be able to solve basic statistical problems in various Common Experimental Designs as soon as possible, and to be confident to run the tests and interpret the computer output, without being hesitated by the starting with large amount of difficult theories behind. This book has been reviewed by some experts as very practical, illustrative and directive, and is very useful for both practitioners and those who perform statistical analysis in experimental designs One the other hand, there is a general belief that after getting a significant Anova result, using the built-in Analysis TookPak MicrosoftExcel Add-In, nothing can be done further to find where do the differences exist, and we must use large packages such as SPSS to complete the job! However, we find that this might not be absolutely true. We can often find similar results as using SPSS by combining the overall Anova results with a few, simple, manual steps introduced in this book! An MicrosoftExcel Add-In PHStat2 ver.3.0, from Dr Robert Jantzen, University of Connecticut, Stamford, is totally free also and seems even more powerful than Analysis TookPak, including a more automatic Tukeys-Kramer Multiple Comparison Post Hoc Test. Lastly, we would introduce a very powerful MicrosoftExcel Add-In, XLSTAT, that can perform many important statistical tests as if using SPSS! Although this is not totally free, it provides a 30 days full function trial version and a student annual price of only US$ 50, that is much cheaper than SPSS etc.! We would use it to show Repeated Measures, Repeated measures Anova and Ancova that are only analyzed by e.g. SPSS otherwise.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 607円

Foundations of Constructive Probability Theory【電子書籍】[ Yuen-Kwok Chan ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>Using Bishop's work on constructive analysis as a framework, this monograph gives a systematic, detailed and general constructive theory of probability theory and stochastic processes. It is the first extended account of this theory: almost all of the constructive existence and continuity theorems that permeate the book are original. It also contains results and methods hitherto unknown in the constructive and nonconstructive settings. The text features logic only in the common sense and, beyond a certain mathematical maturity, requires no prior training in either constructive mathematics or probability theory. It will thus be accessible and of interest, both to probabilists interested in the foundations of their speciality and to constructive mathematicians who wish to see Bishop's theory applied to a particular field.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 24,879円

The Incredible Journey of the Talking Dog【電子書籍】[ Wai Keung Yuen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

Towards a Chinese Conception of Social Support Study of the Social Support Networks of Chinese Working Mothers in Beijing【電子書籍】[ Angelina W.K. Yuen-Tsang ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>First published in 1997, this volume is an attempt to study the patterns of social support among Chinese working mothers in a Beijing neighbourhood with the aim of developing a beginning understanding of the Chinese conception of social support. The data indicates great variations in the support relationships experienced by the 27 Chinese working mothers interviewed on their social support and support relationships. Angelina W.K. Yuen-Tsang aims to understand the existing patterns of social support, to develop an initial understanding of the Chinese conception of social support through the grounded theory method and to explore the implications of the Chinese conception of social support on social work practice and social work intervention in the PRC. She argues that the introduction of formal social work interventions to supplement the informal networks is therefore envisaged to be a necessary and inevitable trend of development in the People’s Republic of China.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 5,209円

China's State Ideology and the Three Gorges Dam The Political Theodicy of Development【電子書籍】[ Yuen-ching Bellette Lee ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book uses the case of the Three Gorges Dam project to explore the Chinese state’s use of ideology, namely the political theodicy of development, as a governing tactic in the reform era.</p> <p>Presenting observations from fieldwork collected after the dam’s completion, it reveals communities who not only embraced their improved livelihoods, but also expressed support for the mega-project and the Party’s leadership. However, the research also indicates that the effects of the ideological dissemination surrounding the project were not monolithic, with the development process involving extensive struggles and contradictions, including locals facing unemployment and the fragmentation of their social networks. This disjuncture between the state ideology and social reality thus revealed flaws in the official imperative of political theodicy.</p> <p>Displaying how the authoritarian rule of the Chinese state can be adaptive in modifying its mode of governance, especially when faced with the unintended consequences of failures, this book will be a valuable resource to students and scholars of Asian environment, development politics, and Chinese politics, history and society.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 9,279円

11 Smart Cities【電子書籍】[ Belinda Yuen ]

楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
<p>This book discusses smart city implementation in 11 smart cities ー Auckland, Boston, Copenhagen, Gothenburg, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Melbourne, Milan, Seoul, Tokyo, and Vancouver. The cities encompass a range of smart city development on selected critical issues in economic prosperity (future digital economy, smart retail, smart tourism), social inclusion (digital inclusion, digital placemaking, smart health service, smart youth empowerment), and environmental sustainability (climate resilience action, circular economy, smart climate action). The focus is on their challenges and course of action in and around the socio-technical systems and processes of sustainability transition. The chapters focus on emerging issues, enabling technologies, practical approaches, policies and case studies. The analysis recognises that smart city development takes place in a social context that, to some degree, will influence the adoption and effectiveness of technologies and ultimately, determine whether they meet end-user satisfaction. Smart city development is pivoted on technological changes, connectivity, and data, but also on people and government involvement and the transformation of urban living practices and conditions. This book aims to deepen dialogues on possible smart city strategies from the perspective of how people, organisations (e.g., processes, communication networks), and technologies interact to achieve individual, organisational, or societal goals.</p> <p><strong>Contents:</strong></p> <ul> <li>Acknowledgements</li> <li>Introduction</li> <li>Auckland: Smart Economy</li> <li>Gothenburg: Smart Tourism</li> <li>Hangzhou: Smart Retail</li> <li>Boston: Digital Placemaking</li> <li>Guangzhou: Digital Inclusion</li> <li>Seoul: Smart Youth Empowerment</li> <li>Tokyo: Smart Health Services</li> <li>Vancouver: Smart Governance</li> <li>Copenhagen: Climate Resilience Action</li> <li>Melbourne: Smart Climate Action</li> <li>Milan: Sustainable Food Availability</li> <li>Epilogue</li> </ul> <p><strong>Readership:</strong> Researchers, academics and students studying or teaching planning and development of smart cities; government officials, policymakers in the fields of public administration, science and technology studies, urban planning and development well as those working on implementing smart city development.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 13,009円
