A large body of knowledge has been amassed over the past three decades about the causes and consequences of diabetes. Many prevention strategies have been proven to be efficacious in controlled settings. The current challenge lies in translating these evidences into practices, and in identifying priorities for actions and knowledge gaps where data are lacking to guide practice and policy especially in low and middle income countries. Professor Chan convened the Commission Meeting in Hong Kong last year and this May, working with other commissioners from around the globe on four main themes on diabetes including disease burden, prevention, treatment and economics. The Commission discussed the research direction, analyzed the data collected, and hopefully will publish their research findings on The Lancet by June 2018. 公積金計劃投資回報成績 Investment Returns of Staff Superannuation Scheme 基金 Fund 4.2017 1.5.2016–30.4.2017 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 2.10% 1.71% 16.06% 15.96% 平衡 Balanced 1.82% 1.63% 10.85% 11.23% 穩定 Stable 1.20% 1.49% 3.70% 2.79% 香港股票 HK Equity 3.29% 1.89% 22.30% 22.27% 香港指數 HK Index-linked 2.25% 2.13% 21.19% 21.39% A50中國指數 A50 China Tracker –0.70% –0.11% 5.91% 5.55% 港元銀行存款 HKD Bank Deposit 0.08% 0.01% 0.80% 0.15% 美元銀行存款* USD Bank Deposit* 0.19% 0.11% 1.47% 0.57% 澳元銀行存款* AUD Bank Deposit* –1.73% –1.84% 0.81% –0.70% 歐元銀行存款* EUR Bank Deposit* 1.94% 1.95% –4.63% –4.52% 人民幣銀行存款* RMB Bank Deposit* 0.35% 0.15% –2.67% –3.78% 有關強積金數據，請參閱： www.cuhk.edu.hk/bursary/chi/public/payroll_benefits/mpf.html For MPF Scheme performance, please refer to: www.cuhk.edu.hk/bursary/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 「防止性騷擾」網上培訓課程 ‘Preventing Sexual Harassment’ Online Training Module 防止性騷擾委員會推出網 上培訓課程，幫助學員防 止和處理性騷擾個案，主 要對象為擔當領導及管理 角色的教職員，以及有機 會成為涉及個案者的首要 聯絡人。課程指出管理人 員在防止和回應性騷擾事 件的義務和責任，並包括 大學相關政策和程序的 概要。委員會已邀請大學 高級管理人員參與該培訓 課程，並在課程完結後提 出意見以作改善。 The Committee Against Sexual Harassment has launched an online training module on prevention and handling of sexual harassment.
