Secondhand smoke exposure and behavioral problems in Japanese schoolchildren
Introduction: Evidence on the association between secondhand tobacco smoke exposure and behavioral problems in schoolchildren remain limited. This study examined the association between objectively measured secondhand smoke exposure and behavioral problems among Japanese schoolchildren. Methods: This study included 892 schoolchildren (444 boys, 448 girls) in Yamagata City, Gifu, Japan. Secondhand smoke exposure was assessed using urinary creatini…
The Relationship between Family Meals and Mental Health Problems in Japanese Elementary School Children: A Cross-Sectional Study
The relative burden of mental health problems in children is increasing worldwide. Family meals have attracted attention as an effective modifiable factor for preventing children's mental health problems. We examined the relationship between family meals and mental health problems in Japanese elementary schoolchildren. A cross-sectional, self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted with guardians of children aged 7 to 12 years in Gifu Pre…

Currently, the main source for the reconstruction of the most ancient history of humankind is archeology, which almost by definition makes it possible to restore only just a few elements of the most ancient human culture (naturally, almost exclusively -material culture). A mere introduction of comparative linguistic data makes it possible to significantly refine our reconstruction of a respective culture. If a certain linguistic Urheimat may be l…

The Development of World-Systems
This essay discusses conceptual issues that arise from the study of human social change. The comparative and evolutionary world-systems perspective is explained as a theoretical research program for studying long-term social change. This approach employs an anthropological framework of comparison for studying world-systems, including those of hunter-gatherers. Problems of spatially bounding whole human interaction networks are addressed, and the …
Urban Scale Shifts since the Bronze Age: Upsweeps, Collapses, and Semiperipheral Development
This is a study of the growth and decline of cities for the purpose of identifying those events in which they significantly increased in size. Significant changes in the scale of cities are important for understanding the long-term trend toward more complex and hierarchical human societies. We report the results of an inventory of cycles, upsweeps, and collapses of settlements in five separate interpolity systems. Upsweeps are instances in which …
Democratic Global Governance: Moving From Ideal to Reality
The political ideal of democracy has become increasingly adopted, yet the existing institutions of global governance can scarcely be considered democratic. The simple addition of national democracies does not necessarily add up to global democracy because national states have unequal power. Despite existing problems, democratic global governance remains a possibility. In this article, we use a world historical perspective to discuss difficulties …
Polity scale shifts in world-systems since the Bronze Age: A comparative inventory of upsweeps and collapses
In this article we report an inventory of cycles, upward sweeps and collapses of polity sizes in five separate interpolity systems: Mesopotamia, Egypt, South Asia, East Asia and the expanding Central System that eventually became the contemporary global system. Upward sweeps are defined as instances in which the largest sovereign polity in a network of fighting and allying polities significantly increases in size. Collapses are instances in which…
Accelerating democratic global state formation
This article discusses the evolution of the international system and global governance within the Europe-centred modern world-system since the 15th century in the context of a comparative framework that includes interpolity systems since the Stone Age. The evolution of the modern system includes the emergence of the European system of sovereign national states and colonial empires, the extension of the Westphalian system to the non-core by succee…

Demographic Regulators in Small-Scale World-Systems
This paper presents a simulation of world-systems theory’s iteration model of early human societies. The polities modeled are composed of sedentary foragers and/or simple horticulturalists that rely upon basic subsistence technologies and display low levels of internal differentiation. World-systems theory’s iteration model integrates several processes of demographic regulation: environmental constraints, migration, intra-polity conflict, and int…
