The Chinese Communist Party as Organizational Emperor

Culture, reproduction, and transformation

By: Zheng Yongnian

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is the largest and one of the most powerful, political organizations in the world today, which has played a crucial role in initiating most of the major reforms of the past three decades in China. China’s rapid rise has enabled the CCP to extend its influence throughout the globe, but the West remains uncertain whether the CCP will survive China’s ongoing socio-economic transformation and become a democratic country. With rapid socio-economic transformation, the CCP has itself experienced drastic changes. Zheng Yongnian argues that whilst the concept of political party in China was imported, the CCP is a Chinese cultural product: it is an entirely different breed of political party from those in the West - an organizational emperor, wielding its power in a similar way to Chinese emperors of the past. Using social and political theory, this book examines the CCP’s transformation in the reform era, and how it is now struggling to maintain the continuing domination of its imperial power. The author argues that the CCP has managed these changes as a proactive player throughout, and that the nature of the CCP implies that as long as the party is transforming itself in accordance to socio-economic changes, the structure of party dominion over the state and society will not be allowed to change.

Intercultural Communication between Chinese and French

Intercultural Communication between Chinese and French

By: Lihua Zheng

When two people from different cultures meet, they both act in accordance with what is self-evident, that is to say natural, to them, The only problem is that the what is self-evident to some may not coincide with what is self-evident to others. Also, as people have a tendency to consider their way as going without saying or as universal, when others do not act in the same way as they do and there is conflict, they get easily annoyed. As a French businessman in China once cried out « The Chinese ask me if I eat snake. I say to them: ‘I do not eat snake, but swallow insults every day’ ». In fact, in intercultural contacts, when people seem strange to others, often, it is perhaps not that they are strange, but because others judge their behaviour with their own cultural criteria. Every culture has its own behavioural logic. However, the logic of some does not correspond to that of others. Individuals often have the same objectives, but to reach them, they take different cultural paths.

Chinese Traditional Healing (3 vols)

The Berlin Collections of Manuscript Volumes from the 16th through the Early 20th Century

By: Paul Unschuld,Jinsheng ZHENG

Research on past knowledge, practices, personnel and institutions of Chinese health care has focussed on printed text for many decades. The Berlin collections of handwritten Chinese volumes on health and healing from the past 400 years provide a hitherto unprecedented access to a wide range of data. They extend the reach of medical historiography beyond the literature written by and for a small social elite to the reality of health care as practiced by private households, lay healers, pharmacists, professional doctors, magicians, itinerant healers and others. The nearly 900 volumes surveyed here for the first time demonstrate the heterogeneity of Chinese traditional healing. They evidence the continuation of millennia-old therapeutic approaches long discarded by the elite, and they show continuous adaptation to more recent trends.

Rural-Urban Migration in China

The Impact of New Media

By: Zheng Xin

This book attempts to document and analyse the complicated role new media play in the adaptation and integration of China’s new generation of migrant workers. By analysing the interviews and observations of more than 500 migrant workers under the age of 25 between 2010 and 2015, the author tries to understand how new media shape the experiences of this significant group of people at different stages of their lives. This study profiles the daily life of this new generation of migrant workers and examines the intricate connections between media and the reconstruction of migrant workers’ identity, as well as their urban life adaptation and social inclusion. Not only is their interaction with new media a key factor in decisions to migrate to the city in the first place, but it continues to play a crucial role in how their outlook on life, sense of identity, lifestyle, personal relationships, and aspirations change as they navigate their new environment. These findings reveal the impact of new media on China’s accelerating urbanization and modernization. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of contemporary China studies, and those who are interested in the urbanization of China in general.

China on the Sea

How the Maritime World Shaped Modern China

By: Zheng Yangwen

This volume challenges the “Walled Kingdom” perspective. China reached out to the seas far more actively than historians have allowed, while the maritime world shaped China, Qing China in particular, much more than the continental world. It gave birth to and defined Chinese modernity.

Improving the Clinical Effectiveness of Metagenomic Next Generation Sequencing (mNGS) in Infection Disease Diagnosis and Treatment: Linking the NGS Specialists and Clinicians, volume II

By: Beiwen Zheng

Timely and accurate pathogen diagnosis is critical for effective treatment, outbreak prevention and precise antibiotics administration of infectious diseases, which remains a challenge in clinical practice. Metagenomic next generation sequencing (mNGS) allows researchers and laboratory specialists to analyze the mixed collection of sequencing reads in human clinical samples, including sequences from bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites besides the host. This new technology shows great potential in pathogen diagnosis. The sensitivity and faster turnaround time are higher than conventional clinical microbiology tests, especially for fastidious and atypical pathogens. However, current mNGS based pathogen detection and diagnosis are facing challenges from both technical and practical aspects. First, sequencing noise can be introduced from different steps such as samples preparation, sequencing, data analysis and reporting algorithm. Also, the interpretation of the results such as detection limits and detection rates are not straightforward to clinicians, compared with traditional culture-based technologies. Such challenges and considerations should be fully addressed before the wild application of mNGS as a pathogen detection tool. Further, these clarifications might help to properly find the best clinical application scenarios, refine the medical treatments, and improve the clinical effectiveness of mNGS in complex infectious diseases. This Research Topic is focused on the application of mNGS for infectious diseases diagnosis and treatment, including experiment process and clinical usage. Its purpose is to level up the clarification of NGS process, to support the development of efficient experiment methods, data interpretation algorithms and to report good examples of related clinical applications. We hope this Research Topic could facilitate the discovery of novel methods and help NGS specialists and clinicians to know mutual concerns and work together to improve the clinical effectiveness of mNGS.

Model Calibration and Parameter Estimation

For Environmental and Water Resource Systems

By: Ne-Zheng Sun,Alexander Sun

This three-part book provides a comprehensive and systematic introduction to these challenging topics such as model calibration, parameter estimation, reliability assessment, and data collection design. Part 1 covers the classical inverse problem for parameter estimation in both deterministic and statistical frameworks, Part 2 is dedicated to system identification, hyperparameter estimation, and model dimension reduction, and Part 3 considers how to collect data and construct reliable models for prediction and decision-making. For the first time, topics such as multiscale inversion, stochastic field parameterization, level set method, machine learning, global sensitivity analysis, data assimilation, model uncertainty quantification, robust design, and goal-oriented modeling, are systematically described and summarized in a single book from the perspective of model inversion, and elucidated with numerical examples from environmental and water resources modeling. Readers of this book will not only learn basic concepts and methods for simple parameter estimation, but also get familiar with advanced methods for modeling complex systems. Algorithms for mathematical tools used in this book, such as numerical optimization, automatic differentiation, adaptive parameterization, hierarchical Bayesian, metamodeling, Markov chain Monte Carlo, are covered in details. This book can be used as a reference for graduate and upper level undergraduate students majoring in environmental engineering, hydrology, and geosciences. It also serves as an essential reference book for professionals such as petroleum engineers, mining engineers, chemists, mechanical engineers, biologists, biology and medical engineering, applied mathematicians, and others who perform mathematical modeling.

Trading Women's Health and Rights

Trade Liberalization and Reproductive Health in Developing Economies

By: Caren Grown,Elissa Braunstein,Anju Malhotra

Around the world, policymakers and civil society are debating how economic and trade policies shape public health. This edited collection adds a new dimension to this debate. It synthesizes research from a variety of disciplines to analyse how the liberalization of international trade affects reproductive health and rights. Case studies from Mexico, Sri Lanka, China, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and Egypt illuminate how trade-related changes in women’s employment influence their reproductive needs and capacities. The book demonstrates how global and national trade policies affect the quality, quantity, and cost of reproductive health services. Contributors also explore the implications of the World Trade Organization and the various trade agreements under its purview for reproductive health services and rights. Ultimately, this collection addresses the key policy issues for advocates of both reproductive health and rights and economic justice, and shows how trade agreements weighted against the poor in the South have very specific gendered consequences. This book is aimed at an inter-disciplinary audience of economists, public health professionals, demographers, sociologists, anthropologists, and women’s studies specialists. It will also be of interest to policymakers and representatives of civil society organizations working on health, economic justice, and employment issues.
