Role of Fat Talk on the Relationships in the Bruneian Chinese Society
This research paper examines the role of “fat talk” in relationships in Bruneian Chinese society. “Fat talk” refers to negative comments about one's weight or body shape towards oneself or others. Using qualitative research methods, the study explores the perceptions and experiences of Bruneian Chinese individuals regarding “fat talk”, factors leading to the discussion of the topic, and its impact on their relationships with their peers. The find…
Mobilising human resources to build a national communications network
This article analyses labour-intensive workforce strategies in Japan's government-run informational infrastructure (post, telegraph, and telephone) and in the adjunct services associated with their administration in the decades up to the Pacific War. It asks to what extent the growing scale of employment in Japan's communications infrastructure in this period confirms the existence of labour-intensive growth outside the manufacturing sector, and …
Price shocks in regional markets
Japan's Great Kantō Earthquake of 1 September 1923 devastated the area around Tokyo and the country's main port of Yokohama. This article uses the earthquake as a case study to inform our understanding of the economics of disasters and the history of market integration. It seeks to test two main assumptions: first, that shifting demand and supply curves consequent on a disaster will have some impact on prices; and second, that any local changes i…
The People's Post Office
The political controversy attached to the privatisation of Japan’s postal system under Prime Minister Koizumi in the early 2000s appeared to many outside observers to be out of all proportion to the significance of a simple state-owned post office, particularly in a global context in which many other countries’ postal services had already passed out of state ownership. Explaining why this process was so significant and why it was eventually achie…
Technology Transfer and the Gendering of Communications Work
This paper is concerned with the gender segmentation of occupations and the extent to which the gendered nature of a technology, or the use of that technology, is transferred from one country to another. Two imported technologies, the postal system and the telephone, are used as case studies to explore the gendering of occupations in Meiji Japan. I argue that the gendering of these occupations was the outcome of the nature of the imported technol…

Textile factories, tuberculosis and the quality of life in industrializing Japan
The incidence of tuberculosis in most of the industrializing countries of the west showed a progressive decline during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, but mortality particularly among young adults remained worryingly high. Nevertheless, recognition of the existence of an etiological relationship between social and economic conditions and tuberculosis, of the kind contained in the above statement, was slow in coming. Doctors in …

The Roots of Divergence? Some Comments on Japan in the ‘Axial Age’, 1750–1850
Much of the recent work on the economic and social history of Tokugawa Japan (1600–1867) has been driven by a desire to identify what T.C. Smith has called ‘native sources ofJapanese industrialisation’. From the Marxist-influenced historians in the 1920s who sought to explain the pre-industrial roots of the structure of production in interwar Japan, through to contem-poraryJapanese historians' studies of the pattern of Japanese development, a maj…

Does routine screening for breast cancer raise anxiety? Results from a three wave prospective study in England
OBJECTIVE--To investigate whether mammography raises anxiety in routinely screened women who receive a negative result. DESIGN--Prospective design in which women completed questionnaires at three key points in the breast screening process: at baseline (before being sent their invitation for breast screening), at the screening clinic immediately before or after screening, and at follow up, about nine months after baseline. Information was obtained…

Sedating drugs and automobile accidents leading to hospitalization
The use of central nervous system depressant drugs among 244 people hospitalized for injuries suffered in an automobile accident was similar for drivers presumed at fault for the accident compared with other drivers and passengers. It was only slightly higher in the three groups than it was in the population at large. The absence of an important association in this population might be related to the warnings given to people filling prescriptions …

Institutional change in Meiji Japan
The substantial institutional and organisational changes in Japan that followed the Meiji Restoration of 1868 have often gone down in history as an unmitigated success story. The objective of this paper is to analyse the course of the Meiji reform process to indicate how far it might offer any lessons for institutional and organisational reform in Japan at the start of the twenty-first century. I argue that the reality of the Meiji transformation…
