Smoking intensity and urinary nicotine metabolites by socioeconomic status in the Heinz Nixdorf Recall study
Decreasing precision of self-reported CPD was indicated for low SES in men and women. We found no strong evidence for biased self-reports of smoking intensity by SES
Continuity and change 10 years after 3.11
This introduction presents the three papers of the special section and embeds them in the broader debate on continuity and change in state-society relations within the first decade after the triple disaster of March 2011. We first discuss reconstruction efforts by the government and their social and environmental impacts. This is followed by an assessment of changes in civil society and dynamics in state-civil society relations. We find that acce…
Elements of Max Weber’s model of rationalization in the political analysis of Maruyama Masao
Maruyama Masao was one of the most influential political theorists and social scientists in postwar Japan. Many of his works were translated into other languages and his theories are still often discussed in fields like the history of ideas and in political science. In this paper, some theoretical elements in Maruyama’s work borrowed from Max Weber’s sociology of religion, notably his theory of ethical development and its relation to the sociolog…
Seit Köln“, und „nach Chemnitz“ – Schlüsselereignisse im parlamentarischen Diskurs
Die Kölner Silvesternacht 2015/2016 und die Vorfälle in Chemnitz 2018 sind Schlüsselereignisse der jüngeren deutschen Geschichte, die eng mit den Konflikten in der Migrations- und Integrationspolitik verbunden sind. Wir untersuchen die diskursive Verarbeitung dieser Ereignisse in den Landtagen. Dazu verbinden wir qualitative und quantitative Verfahren der Textanalyse und werten einen umfangreichen Korpus aller Plenardebatten aus, die seit den Sil…
Vertical and Horizontal Networks Revisited
After the Fukushima accident, Japan experienced a drastic decline in nuclear energy use because of resistance from civil society. This civil society activity can be explained by the strong social capital forged in Japanese communities. By contrast, the classical (and some recent) literature has argued that Japan’s dense network of associations and groups functions to disseminate conservative ideology and thus control civil society. The classical …
Uniformity or polarization? The nuclear power debate in Japanese newspapers and political coalitions, 1973–2014
The image of Japanese mainstream media reporting is dominated by the institution of “press clubs”. Critical researchers argue that these restricted and institutionalized links between mainstream media and their sources lead to uniformity in media reporting. Other researchers contend that Japanese journalists play diverse roles and frame issues in diverse ways. These contrasting theses are explored through an analysis of three major newspaper's fr…
Journalistic autonomy and frame sponsoring. Explaining Japan's "nuclear blind spot" with field theory
Smoking and urinary cotinine by socioeconomic status in the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study
BACKGROUND: Associations of socioeconomic status (SES) and smoking-related diseases depend on uniform validity of self-reported smoking habits in different SES groups. We investigated the influence of SES on validity of self-reported smoking status by means of urinary cotinine. METHODS: We determined total urinary cotinine in the baseline population of the Heinz Nixdorf Recall Study. Participants with cotinine>200 μg/L were potential current smok…
Japan’s ‘pro-nuclear civil society
Civil society research can be categorized into a school in the tradition of Gramsci focusing on social movements and a Tocquevillean school focusing on associations and social capital. The author reviews both schools’ research on the Japanese case and analyses a number of pro-nuclear citizen groups built up by the Japanese nuclear industry. The author analyses their financial data and historical development to demonstrate that they have been buil…
Filling a Representation Gap? How Populist and Mainstream Parties Address Muslim Immigration and the Role of Islam
This paper asks whether Germany’s main right-wing Populist Party, the AfD, filled a representation gap on the issue of Muslim immigration and integration and the role of Islam. We shed light on this question by analysing more than 575 manifestos from all 116 elections on the state and federal level between 1990 and 2017. A quantitative text analysis reveals that all parties increased their attention towards the topic in the recent years, while th…
