一億贊建文物館新翼 Maecenas’s Gift 中大蒙羅桂祥基金慷慨捐贈一億港元， 為文物館擴建新大樓，支票捐贈儀式於 早前舉行。新大樓以羅桂祥博士嘉名命 名為「香港中文大學文物館—羅桂祥 閣」，將進一步糅合藝術創作、策展與教 學，推動大學增加相關課程，培養師生及 公眾對藝術的欣賞。大樓預計於2023年 竣工，標誌着2021年誌慶金禧的文物館 踏入新里程。 CUHK received a HK$100 million donation from Lo Kwee Seong Foundation to construct an extension to the Art Museum. Named Art Museum of The Chinese University of Hong Kong–Lo Kwee Seong Pavilion, the extension would foster creation, curation and teaching of art, allowing the University to augment art-related courses and programmes and cultivating appreciation of art among students, faculty members and members of the public. The infrastructure, to be completed in 2023, would mark a milestone of the Art Museum succeeding its golden anniversary in 2021. 宣 布 事 項 / A nnouncements 榮休教授 Emeritus Professor 哲學系王慶節教授獲頒榮休教授名銜，由2019年8月16日起生效。 Prof. Wang Qingjie of the Department of Philosophy has been awarded the title of Emeritus Professor with effect from 16 August 2019. 公積金計劃投資回報成績 Investment Returns of Staff Superannuation Scheme 基金 Fund 8.2019 1.9.2018 – 31.8.2019 未經審核數據 Unaudited 指標回報 Benchmark Return 未經審核數據 Unaudited 指標回報 Benchmark Return 增長 Growth –2.76% –2.99% –1.29% –0.44% 平衡 Balanced –0.74% –1.57% 1.52% 1.81% 穩定 Stable 0.36% 0.84% 3.44% 5.56% 香港股票 HK Equity –6.29% –6.46% –5.41% –4.73% 香港指數 HK Index-linked –7.05% –7.05% –4.62% –4.44% A50中國指數 A50 China Tracker –4.06% –4.10% 15.53% 17.33% 港元銀行存款 HKD Bank Deposit 0.19% 0.09% 2.12% 0.94% 美元銀行存款 USD Bank Deposit* 0.30% 0.19% 2.58% 1.00% 澳元銀行存款 AUD Bank Deposit* –2.02% –2.11% –5.01% –6.27% 歐元銀行存款 EUR Bank Deposit* –1.00% –1.00% –5.56% –5.51% 人民幣銀行存款 RMB Bank Deposit* –3.42% –3.42% –2.52% –3.19% 強積金數據請參閱： www.cuhk.edu.hk/fno/chi/public/payroll_benefits/mpf.html For MPF Scheme performance, please refer to: www.cuhk.edu.hk/fno/eng/public/payroll_benefits/mpf.html * * 實際與指標回報已包括有關期間內之匯率變動 Both actual and benchmark returns include foreign currency exchange difference for the month 教職員公積金計劃（1995）投資簡報會 Staff Superannuation Scheme (1995) Investment Forum 財務處將於10月18日（星期五）下午十二時三十分至二時在李兆基樓二號演講廳舉行投資簡 報會。會上薄備簡餐，請成員踴躍出席。參加表格可於財務處網頁 （ www.cuhk.edu.hk/fno/ eng/index.html ）下載。查詢請致電薪津及公積金組，電話3943 7236 / 7251。 An investment forum is scheduled on 18 October (Friday) from 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm at LT2, Lee Shau Kee Building.

Tying in with the University’s pledge to promote a breastfeeding-friendly workplace, the Task Force on Women and Family- Friendly Policies facilitates the setting up of nursing rooms on campus. Details of each nursing room are available at www.wffp.cuhk.edu.hk/family-friendly-facilities/location- of-the-nursing-rooms , and information regarding the lactation break policy and the Task Force at www.wffp.cuhk.edu.hk . 服務時段（工作日） Opening Hours (Weekdays) 9:00 am – 5:30 pm 查詢 Enquiries 電話 Tel: 3943 9504 / 3943 9898 電郵 E-mail: wffp@cuhk.edu.hk 網上預約系統（敬請預約） Online Booking System (Online Booking Required) booking.cuhk.edu.hk 胎兒檢測新技術 State-of-the-art Screening for Babies-to-be 醫學院婦產科學系引入全基因組測序技 術，以作遺傳學入侵性產前診斷。傳統的 胎兒染色體核型分析難以測出微細基因 異常，此類個案佔檢測結果正常的胎兒 至少一成；而進行染色體微陣列分析的基 因芯片技術受制於探針的密度，覆蓋範 圍亦有限。全基因組測序提供全基因組 序列信息，能更精準檢測胎兒是否患有嚴 重先天疾病。過去五年，團隊開發測序平 台，檢驗胎兒重複或遺漏的基因和基因組，單次檢測的樣本高達四十八個。研究證實新 技術比基因芯片技術提供更多和更精準的遺傳信息，結果已詳刊於《醫學遺傳學》。 The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of the Faculty of Medicine pioneered fetal DNA sequencing at genome-wide resolution for prenatal invasive genetic diagnosis, which offers more precise diagnostics of congenital disorders compared to traditional methods. While conventional karyotyping is missing out submicroscopic chromosomal abnormalities that account for 10% of fetuses with normal karyotype results, fetal DNA chip testing making use of chromosomal microarray analysis is highly reliant on the probe density of the target region. With whole genome sequencing, it provides genome-wide sequence information, and over the past five years, the CUHK team has developed and optimized whole genome analysis of micro-deletions and -duplications in fetus with an in-house analytic pipeline. With a throughput as high as 48 samples per run, the new technique was proven to be more precise than fetal DNA chip testing and the results were published in Genetics in Medicine . 環保先鋒赴英深造 Green Champion Heads for Oxford 地理與資源管理學系應屆畢業生鍾芯豫獲頒約一百萬港元利黃瑤 璧千禧獎學金，負笈牛津大學攻讀環境變化與管理碩士課程，並冀 學成後投身環保政策研究。就讀中大期間，芯豫積極參與環保活 動，如創辦 V’air 環境教育組織，推廣低碳本地遊，紓緩氣候變化。 她亦曾到世界銀行等國際組織實習和參與義務工作，體會本港作 為發達城市，應為下一代的未來付出更多。去年芯豫加入可持續發 展委員會，為香港永續發展出謀獻策。 Geography and Resource Management graduand Natalie Chung won the Esther Yewpick Lee Millennium Scholarship totalling around HK$1 million to read a master’s in environmental change and management at the University of Oxford. A staunch green campaigner on and off campus, Natalie founded V’air, an environmental education organization for local travel to reduce carbon emission associated with travelling abroad. Her experience at the World Bank also imparted to her the belief that Hong Kong, a well- developed city, has the obligation to go one step ahead in environmental protection. Last year, she recommended herself and eventually joined the Council for Sustainable Development to bring youth voices into environmental policymaking. Upon finishing her study at Oxford, she hopes to become an environmental leader and researcher. 06 # 5 4 4 | 0 4 . 1 0 . 2 0 1 9
