Development of an electrosurgery-compatible simulation task for quantitatively assessing oral cancer resection skills: Initial validity evidence
Educational impact of a simulation-based renal biopsy workshop for medical students during nephrology clerkship
BACKGROUND: Percutaneous renal biopsy is essential for diagnosing kidney disease. It is invasive and requires technical training to ensure patient safety. Simulation-based education is increasingly used to teach invasive procedures and minimize patient risk. However, most renal biopsy simulation studies focus on residents rather than undergraduate medical students. We evaluated the educational effectiveness of a renal biopsy simulation workshop d…
Sustainable agrifood systems for a post-growth world
The Practice of Food Justice: How Food Hubs Negotiate Race and Place in the Eastern United States
Despite aspirations toward more equitable and sustainable food systems, alternative food movements have been critiqued for reproducing the inequalities of the agrifood system they contest. This article examines the challenges a group of justice-oriented food hubs face in integrating racial justice into their work. We ask whether the financial pressures of enacting alternative approaches to food hub work within market logics can squeeze out racial…

Justice and Tyranny: Bringing 'Rural' Back into the Sociology of Food and Agriculture
In the current polarizing political climate, what constitutes just has become increasingly questioned and debated in the public arena. Tyrants seem everywhere to shape people's understanding of who belongs in communities and nation-states and, therefore, who should be given a voice and what should be valued. This paper unpacks the mechanisms of tyranny and the pursuit of justice in the global agri-food system. The first section discusses justice …
Agrarian pathways for the next generation of Japanese farmers
Japanese agriculture and rural communities are in decline and fewer young people are becoming farmers. Young heritage farmers and a new generation from non-farming families face multiple barriers to pursue farming as their profession or way of life. Using mixed methods, we examine cases of new farmers establishing themselves in Kyoto and Nagano, Japan. We uncover and analyse a set of representative pathways travelled by new farmers and the social…
Feeding practices in early life and later intake of fruit and vegetables among Japanese toddlers: The Osaka Maternal and Child Health Study
Objective A growing body of evidence from Western countries shows that infant feeding practices are associated with later childhood dietary habits, but little is known about these relationships in non-Western countries with different food cultures. We examined the association of breast-feeding duration and age at introduction of solid foods with later intake of fruit and vegetables among Japanese toddlers. Design Information on breast-feeding dur…
Socioeconomic status and risk of dental caries in Japanese preschool children: The O saka M aternal and C hild H ealth S tudy
Higher levels of parental education, in particular maternal education, may be associated with reduced risk of dental caries in preschool children
Dietary patterns in infancy and their associations with maternal socio‐economic and lifestyle factors among 758 Japanese mother–child pairs: The Osaka Maternal and Child Health Study
Dietary habits established in early childhood contribute to lifelong dietary pattern and the development of early risk factors for disease in adulthood. Although a large body of epidemiologic data from Western countries show that the dietary pattern of children is influenced by maternal socio-economic and lifestyle characteristics, information on this topic in non-Western countries is absolutely lacking. The present study identified dietary patte…
Sibling number and prevalence of allergic disorders in pregnant Japanese women: Baseline data from the Kyushu Okinawa Maternal and Child Health Study
This study found a significant inverse relationship between the number of older siblings and the prevalence of rhinoconjunctivitis among pregnant Japanese women. Our findings are likely to support the intrauterine programming hypothesis; however, we could not rule out the hygiene hypothesis
Nutritional adequacy of three dietary patterns defined by cluster analysis in 997 pregnant Japanese women: The Osaka Maternal and Child Health Study
Objective To examine the adequacy and inadequacy of dietary patterns in pregnant women for which information is absolutely lacking. Design Diet was assessed by a validated, self-administered diet history questionnaire (DHQ). Dietary patterns were extracted from the intake of thirty-three food groups (g/4184 kJ (1000 kcal)), which were summarized from 147 foods assessed with the DHQ, by cluster analysis. Nutritional inadequacy for selected twenty …

Cigarette smoking and tooth loss experience among young adults: A national record linkage study
An association between cigarette smoking and tooth loss was evident among young adults throughout Japan. Due to limitations of the available variables in the present databases, further studies including caries experience and its confounders should be conducted to examine whether smoking is a true risk of premature tooth loss in young adults
Association of Smoking in Household and Dental Caries in Japan
The results of the study failed to substantiate a positive association between passive smoking and caries experience in Japanese children
The “All-American Meal: Constructing Confidence in the Case of BSE
Using content analysis of newspaper coverage of the discovery of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the United States, we analyze the media's portrayal of the “BSE crisis,” from a social constructionist perspective. We identify the salient claims-makers in the dialogue over food safety as it pertains to the discovery of BSE and we examine the content of their claims to reveal their core messages. We find that public definitions and respons…
Redefining the Moral Responsibilities for Food Safety: The Case of Red Meat in New Zealand
Food safety governance is shaped by social relationships among the state, the industry, and the public in the food system in a given country. This paper examines the contestation among actors in New Zealand's red meat chain over the implementation of the Animal Product Act of 1999 (APA), which became a cornerstone in the reform of food safety governance. The discussion focuses on the APA's impact on three types of social relations in the red meat…

Standardization as a Means for Globalizing a Commodity: The Case of Rapeseed in China
Not all commodities are things, nor are all things available in society commodities. Then, what are commodities? Using the case of rapeseed and its products in China, this paper examines the role of grades and standards (G&S) in simultaneously determining the life of things as commodities and the position of humans as market participants. In the first section, we summarize our conceptual understandings of commodities. Next, the paper examines tes…
Group Affiliations, Opinion Polarization, and Global Organizations: Views of the World Trade Organization Before and After Seattle
Group affiliation plays a key role in shaping individual opinions on public policy issues. Understanding group-related differences may be important for global organizations that depend on broad public acceptance of their policies. Research indicates that people's opinions become polarized to match perceived opinions of their group and that media reports may signal normative opinions group members should adopt. Surveys administered before and afte…

Rites of Passage: Constructing Quality in a Commodity Subsector
This article extends the concept of symmetry to ethics. Using the case of canola in Canada, the authors argue that grades and standards simultaneously subject humans and nonhumans to rites of passage that test their "goodness. " Then, they further develop a tentative typology of standards. The authors argue that these standards allow something resembling the neoclassical market to be established, create the conditions for economic analysis, and a…

Japanese Women's Magazines: The language of aspiration
A strong unifying theme that runs through Japanese women's magazines is the prescriptive approach which they adopt towards their readers. This is much more striking than the attention to detail in features which Shimanaka Yukio (n.d.) notes, or the descriptive and pedestrian list of characteristics common to magazines in general which Kawai Ryosuke provides (1987). In this chapter special attention will be paid to linguistic questions, the freque…
