Standard works on the employment systems of Japanese companies deal almost exclusively with men. Women, however, constitute the vast majority of the low wage, highly flexible "non-core" employees. This book breaks new ground in examining the role of Japanese women in industry. It assesses the extent to which growing pressure for equal opportunities between the sexes has caused Japanese companies to adapt their employment and personnel management practices in recent years. The author puts the argument in an historical perspective, covering the employment of Japanese women from the start of Japan's industrialisation up to the turning point of the 1986 Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Law. She examines the background and execution of the legislation and she looks at the response of the business community. In her case study of the Seibu department store, which takes up the final part of the book, Lam concludes that the EEO Law has not had the desired effect.
本書及以插畫的形式表現品牌的目的,是以輕鬆的手法讓讀者瞭解一些品牌的背景,以及讓他們更明白到品牌的營造是需時的。大家現在見到外國高端品牌那麼成功,影響那麼深遠,要知道很多都是經歷數十甚至數百年才有今日的地位,而歐洲人對歷史文物和藝術又是那麼專重,所以品牌的孕育需時間沉澱才能成為傳奇。 此外,除了介紹一些中國熱門的國際品牌外,本書也介紹一些有實力有品質的品牌給大 家認識。讀者更會發現這些所列舉的並非單指服飾,還有個人嗜好如車、食品、酒、家具等,因「時尚」的 意思並非單指服裝,還包括個人品位。上次的《時裝有品》給讀者認識時裝概念,今次的《時尚有價》就讓 大家認識品牌的背後故事!希望大家喜歡。
Interaction of Translational and Transcriptional Controls in the Regulation of Gene Expression presents the proceedings of the Fogarty International Conference on Translational/Transcriptional Regulation of Gene Expression, held at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, Maryland, on April 7-9, 1982. Speakers discussed the molecular strategies at work during the modulation of gene expression following transcriptional initiation. They also discussed recent developments in a number of key areas in which transcriptional and translational components interact. Organized into five sections encompassing 36 chapters, this volume explores both prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems, as well as str...
現在中國人的消費能力很高,據聞現在全球供應的奢侈品中,大約有三分之一由中國人買走,這真的很驚人!回顧過去10年,很多內地忠國人紛紛到香港購買名牌,而近幾年甚至部分人會直接飛去歐洲國家買們的心頭好,可見他們對名牌的熱愛。有鑑及此,我寫此書及以插畫的形式表現品牌的目的,是以輕鬆的手法讓讀者瞭解一些品牌的背景,以及讓他們更明白到品牌的營造是需時的。大家現在見到外國高端品牌那麼成功,影響那麼深遠,要知道很多都是經歷數十甚至數百年才有今日的地位,而歐洲人對歷史文物和藝術又是...

In Daily Giving Service: A History of the Diocesan Girls’ School, Hong Kong, Moira M. W. Chan-Yeung and her fellow contributors present a comprehensive history of one of Hong Kong’s oldest girls’ schools. As an alumna of the school, Chan-Yeung traces the history of her alma mater from its establishment in 1860, its development over the last 150 years until the recent decade. Having experienced stability and turbulences in Hong Kong in the twentieth century, the school has become one of the most prominent girl’s schools in the city. In several chapters written by other alumni, various aspects of school life of different eras are reconstructed and remembered. The author and other contr...
This book explores the interplay between politics, managerialism, and higher education, and the complex linkages between politics and public universities in Hong Kong. Since the mid-20th century, literature on the state, market, and higher education has focused on the state’s shifting role from the direct administration to the supervision of higher education, and its increased use of market and managerial principles and techniques to regulate public universities. However, very few studies have addressed the political influences on university governance produced by changing state-university-market relationships, the chancellorship of public universities, or students’ and academics’ civi...
This book summarizes the latest studies on plant reproduction and multiple aspects of signaling in reproductive development. It also presents the most advanced processes in CrRLK1L receptor and RALF peptide studies during plant development. Focusing on signaling in pollen tube integrity and sperm release regulation, it provides significant insights into the BUPS-ANX receptor complex and the corresponding ligands RALF4/19 to promote pollen tube growth with proper cell integrity. It also proposes a working model of female tissue-derived RALF34 competing with RALF4/19 from the BUPS-ANX to trigger pollen tube rupture and sperm release. Offering a detailed overview of the spatiotemporal regulation mechanism underlying the control of pollen tube integrity and sperm release, the book fills a major gap in our understanding of plant reproductive processes, and as such is a valuable resource for those working in the area of plant signaling.
