The association between exposure to brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and arthritis, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis
This study suggested that exposure to specific kinds of BFRs was positively associated with arthritis, osteoarthritis, and RA. Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms
Chinese Marriages in Transition
Intergenerational relations
Through development of the concept of paradoxical integration and drawing on in-depth interviews, this article brings a critical perspective to the study of intergenerational relationships by sociologically addressing labour migration within China. China's massive population movement, from rural areas to urban employment, is facilitated by the relocation of grandparents, who, in traversing geographic space, significantly contribute to social and …
Reconceptualizing Crisis
Crisis is predominantly characterized in terms of its detrimental consequences. Drawing on in-depth semi-structured interviews in Melbourne and Taipei, the article provides a critical and distinctive understanding of crisis. Crisis is conceptualized here as a disruptive prefiguring of new possibilities, both agentic and structural. In crisis, a situation of adversity is combined with a positive prospect of possibility previously unnoticed or unav…
Global burden of drug use disorders by region and country, 1990–2021
Background: This study used data from the Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) database to systematically assess the magnitude of drug use disorders (DUD) burden between 1990 and 2021. Methods: This study used GBD data to analyze the trends in ASIR, DALYs and other DUD indicators from 1990 to 2021, and compared them among different regions and countries. The Estimated Annual Percentage Change (EAPC) and its 95% Confidence Interval (CI) were calcu…
Emotion in and through crisis
To the extent that emotions are noticed in consideration of crisis they are typically thought to be negative, linked to the disruptive consequences of crisis. Based on semi-structured in-depth interviews the article shows that crisis precipitates not only negative but also positive emotions and that the complex of emotional experiences that emerge in the COVID pandemic crisis play a significant role in the transformation of outlook and practice p…
Trust upset
In contractual relations, malfeasance is subject to sanction by formal institutions. Trust is widely held to be an informal basis of non-contractual exchange, in which breaches of trust lead to exposure, resulting in the perpetrator's loss of reputation and likely exclusion from future exchanges. The present article, on the other hand, shows that breaches of trust may lead to neither of these outcomes. Interview data reported here show that indiv…
Social networks as contexts for engagement and initiative
The enabling and constraining properties of networks, their effects on participants, and their subsequent social consequences have all been extensively explored in a large and growing literature. A feature of social network analysis lies in its tendency to deploy structural perspectives in explaining social outcomes. Through in-depth semi-structured interviews, this article highlights the ways in which social networks operate as a context in whic…
Ageing in Contemporary China
Based on in-depth semi-structured interviews with older women and men in two cities in mainland China, this article reports respondents’ experiences of ageing. Interviewees’ attitudes to health and their changing bodies suggest an orientation unlike the ‘medicalization’ approach. They report personal strategies that navigate conditions of ongoing social and economic change by both drawing on and modifying traditional norms, including those relate…
Floating grandparents
Discussion of China's internal migration typically focuses on the movement of young rural workers to cities and, correspondingly, on the women, children and elderly who remain in villages and small towns, the so-called 'left-behind'. This article fills a gap in the literature by examining the situation of grandparents who join their migrant adult children to facilitate their workforce participation by providing childcare. The article shows how gr…
Neo-traditional Child Surnaming in Contemporary China
A sparse sociological literature on surnaming reports predominantly western cases. This article examines surnaming practices in present-day China, where married women universally retain their surname as part of a national political project. The one-child policy disrupts the practice of providing to a child his/her father's surname. Wives from daughter-only families increasingly provide their surname to their child(ren). Various social forms of mo…
Social Capital
Social capital is a social facility which is a basis of agency for those who invest in it and have access to it. There is no unitary theory of social capital but there are a number of distinctive accounts which emphasize different bases and particular outcomes of social capital. The best known contributions to the identification and theorization of social capital are those of James Coleman, Robert Putnam, and Pierre Bourdieu. The approaches of th…
Reconstructing the concept of face in cultural sociology
Few readers notice that in a celebrated essay, Goffman, in a footnote, acknowledges the Chinese source of his concept of face. Around the time that Goffman published “On Face-work,” Merton urged that theory development requires, among other things, clarification or refinement of concepts. If culture is taken to be effectively related to action and meaning, it is necessary to go beyond the approach in which theories, concepts, and methods develope…
Social Movements in China
An extensive literature on social movements points to the role of social networks in movement recruitment and development. It is anomalous, therefore, that treatments of Chinese social movements seldom acknowledge the importance of guanxi networks. Theories of social movements are typically constructed on the basis of US and European cases and draw upon the intellectual formations of these regions. Through an examination of social movements in co…

Family bond and family obligation
In examining family relations in contemporary China the article reports the findings of an empirical investigation, which are discussed in terms of recent accounts in the specialist literature. While the individualization thesis suggests that the bonds between family members are diminishing and that family obligations are similarly less significant than they used to be, it is shown here that family bonds and obligations remain strong, even though…
Globalized Knowledge Flows and Chinese Social Theory
This book considers the nature and possibilities of conceptual change and transformation under conditions of globalization, especially with regard to Chinese social and cultural concepts. It argues that the influence of globalization promotes the spread of West European and American social science concepts and methods at the expense of local concepts and approaches, and at the same time (paradoxically) provides opportunities for the incorporation…
Filial Obligation in Contemporary C hina
Family obligation, which has an exceptionally high salience in traditional C hinese society, continues to be significant in contemporary C hina. In family relations in particular sentiments and practices morphologically similar to those associated with xiao (filial piety) remains intact in so far as an enduring set of expectations concerning age‐based obligation continues to structure behavior toward others. Researchers pursuing the theme of “ind…
The paradox of power
A historical consequence of power relations in European culture has been a dichotomy of reason and emotion. This pattern did not arise in China, one of the oldest and most enduring structures of power in human history. The social basis of the Chinese concept of xin (heart-mind) is considered in this paper, and a discussion of a characteristic Chinese conception of power is also presented
Intellectual entrepreneurs and the diffusion of ideas
Guanxi, social capital theory and beyond
Western theoretical traditions can benefit from systematic engagement with non-Western concepts: This is shown through an analysis of the Chinese concept guanxi. After considering the general nature of guanxi, including its possible association with corrupt practices and its particular cultural characteristics, the paper goes on to identify the elements of its general form which have universal representation. The possibility of conceiving guanxi …
A case study of globalized knowledge flows
This article examines globalized knowledge flows through a case study of the treatment of the Chinese concept of guanxi in social and management science journals. Three forms of concept-theory relations are postulated which effectively correspond with different patterns of knowledge flow. The treatment of this concept in 214 refereed journal articles published from 1999 to 2009 indicates that the concept guanxi, which possesses capacity for theor…
Face
The concept of face, as it is developed by Goffman, has strong conceptual links with the notion of a 'looking-glass' self outlined by Adam Smith and developed sociologically by Cooley. It also has links with the Chinese concept of face, which relates to the transfer of social science concepts from one cultural setting to another. By discussing the specificity and universality of face the article indicates the significance of the Chinese concept o…
