Singapore's success as a global city is in no small part attributable to its stance on foreign labour and immigrants, illustrated by a largely welcoming but discerning immigration regime to fulfil vital socio-economic needs. However, this fairly liberal policy on immigration has been met with substantial disquiet over the last decade. Xenophobic tendencies have surfaced periodically and have been compounded by the Covid-19 pandemic.This edited volume spotlights these contemporary issues on immigrant integration in Singapore, and adopts a functional approach by explicitly bridging academic and practitioner perspectives. The chapters are organised into three sections. The first section on Challenges discusses various dominant trends - obstacles to immigrant integration based on ethnicity, culture and religion, and the fear and associated emotions that characterise reactions to immigration. The second section focuses on Communities, their perspectives and lived experiences in Singapore society. The latter differ substantially depending on migrant statuses and are contingent on social capital defined in relation to locals in the city-state. The last section seeks to illustrate the various Solutioning endeavours in tandem with the contentious nature of immigration. These concrete efforts range from ground-up initiatives, community-based collaborative approaches and government programming; all seeking to advance immigrant integration in Singapore.

This book employs nonequilibrium quantum transport, based on the use of mixed Hilbert space representations and real time quantum superfield transport theory, to explain various topological phases of systems with entangled chiral degrees of freedom. It presents an entirely new perspective on topological systems, entanglement-induced localization and delocalization, integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE), fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE), and its respective spectral zones in the Hofstadter butterfly spectrum. A simple and powerful, intuitive, and wide-ranging perspective on chiral transport dynamics.

In this book, the author adopts the methodology of 'discussing philosophy by studying history of philosophy'. The chapters in the book discuss the essential content of The Study of Renxue Ontology, Ren's development in pre-Qin (before 206BC) and Han period (206BC-220), Ren theories in Song Dynasty (960-1279) and Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). It covers topics ranging from Confucius and Mencius' classic theories to Li Zehou's ontology of emotions as well as the development of Ren in the historical context and its contemporary interpretations. The book develops the theory of Ren and Taoist style of classical Confucianism while critically incorporating modern Chinese philosophical ontology. The resulting philosophical construction incorporates classical Confucian Ren theory and classical Confucian Ren theory and the continuation of and responses to the arguments of modern Chinese philosophy, thus offering a comprehensive and innovative coverage of contemporary Chinese Confucianism. The book combines Chinese contemporary cultural heritage and creative development to promote contemporary Confucianism and harmony between China and the world.

If you want to learn advanced knowledge of REST and/or are considering taking CLSA, then you should get the Master Beaver Version, in which additional tips and tricks of using Pega are discussed, including: security, removing the "pxObjClass" in the REST response, using external tool such as Postman, and many more!Why Create a Pega How-to Guide?In a real-world situation, you would not have the luxury of time to learn and explore features on the ground. Worst, after implemented the required feature, only to find yourself in a dead corner and had to resort to patching and custom coding to address users' ever-changing requirements. All these would have been easily avoided if you had a better understanding of the pros and cons of various options."Debunkum Beaver Pega How-to Guide" series aims to provide readers with an arsenal of tools at their disposal. Whenever there is a new project, or a required new feature, all is required is just to pull out these guides, implement the features according to the given approach."Can you visualise a situation, where all similar features have the same way of implementation, with the same sequence of steps and number of rules; and anyone who looked at the rules knew exactly how and why each rule was implemented as such; any deviations and bugs that were introduced due to carelessness would simply stand out by itself, easily identifiable and easy to fix, wouldn't this be a wonderful Pega World? Well, that is the core objective of the Debunkum Beaver Pega How-to Guide series!Sample chapters available at: HowTo.DebunkumBeaver.com
