I consider myself extremely fortunate to have worked with such a vibrant group of teachers and fellow students. First, I thank my advisors, Joseph W. Esherick and Paul G. Pickowicz. Without their tireless training and support, this project would never have been completed. As I set out to start my own career, my goal is to try to replicate a fraction of the collegial yet rigorous style of training they have provided me. I would also like to thank the other members of my committee, Richard Madsen, Lu Weijing, and Christena Turner for their thoughtful comments and support through the years. In China, Tian Jiuchuan at Liaoning Normal University and Wang Yuliang at Dalian University were extremely generous in sharing their own work with me, and helping me gain access to materials in what proved to be a challenging research environment in Dalian. At the Dalian library, Chen XX, Wang XX and the staff at the historical documents reading room were extremely patient and helpful during my time there. At the Dalian branch library, Leng XX helped me in numerous ways, and shared great conversations over lunch in the staff dining room. Finally, Mr. Wang Shouyu of the Dalian gazetteer publishing office, took me under his wing and shared with me his vast knowledge and love for the city of Dalian. I will never forget the cold winter mornings that the two of us endured together in search of books and documents at a local flea market. Without his help obtaining source materials, much of this project could not have been completed. ix I must graciously thank all of my classmates over the years for sharing their work and their opinions in countless conversations in class, over dinner, and at baseball games. Jim Cook and Joshua Goldstein first took me under their wings a decade ago, when I was an undergraduate studying in Beijing. They helped shape my interests in Chinese history, and introduced me to the program at UCSD. Once I arrived, Michael Chang, Susan Fernsebner, Cecily McCaffrey, Liu Lu, Charles Musgrove, and Elena Songster helped me adjust to the rigors of graduate school, and continue to offer me sound advice about the profession. A special thanks to Sigrid Schmalzer, Matthew Johnson, and Jeremy Brown, classmates whose hours of great conversation and unselfish support have informed my work in countless ways. Finally, I thank Jeremy Murray, Brent Haas, Ellen Huang, Miriam Gross, Zheng Xiaowei, Zhang Jun, and Daphon Ho for allowing me to give them advice and for sharing lively conversations in the graduate lounge or over campfires. Financial support for this dissertation came from a number of sources. An Institute for International Education Fulbright Grant allowed me to conduct research in Dalian in 2003-2004. A Pacific Rim mini-grant, an Institute for International and Comparative Areas Studies (IICAS) grant, and a Bernadotte Schmidt Travel grant allowed me to conduct follow up research in the summer of 2005. A Foreign Language Areas Studies Grant provided the support for a year of language and research work in Tokyo in 2002-2003. The History Department, and the UCSD Center for the Humanities provided financial support for writing the dissertation in 2005-2006. I thank all of these institutions for their generous support. x Finally, I thank my family. My parents, Ronald and Connaught Hess, have never wavered in their confidence that I would be successful, even when I was convinced otherwise. Back in 1988, my father had an opportunity to attend a research conference in China. My parents agonized over the decision to use some of the money they had put away to pay for college in order to take our family on that trip. I thank them for having the foresight to see travel as an essential part of life. Money well spent! I’d also like to thank my sister Catherine for listening to the ramblings of her brother over the years. Finally, words cannot express my thanks to my wife, Kazumi. Her support and unceasing optimism through the highs and lows of graduate study made this all possible. I dedicate this work to her. xi VITA 1997 B.A., University of California, Davis 2003 M.A., University of California, San Diego 2004-2005 Teaching Assistant, University of California, San Diego 2005 (Winter) Associate in History, University of California, San Diego 2006 Ph.D., University of California, San Diego 2006- Visiting Assistant Professor, University of Wisconsin, Madison PUBLICATIONS “Big Brother is Watching: Local Sino-Soviet Relations and the Building of New Dalian, 1945- 1955.” Chapter in Paul Pickowicz and Jeremy Brown, ed., Dilemmas of Victory: The Early Years of the People’s Republic of China (Harvard University Press) (forthcoming, fall 2007).

Hess Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, San Diego, 2006 Professor Joseph W. Esherick, Co-Chair Professor Paul G. Pickowicz, Co-Chair This dissertation explores the transition of the port city of Dalian, a heavily industrialized seaport located at the tip of the Liaodong peninsula in China’s Northeast region (Manchuria), as it shifted from a wartime hub of the Japanese empire to a socialist urban center heavily influenced by the Soviet Union. How did a long-term center of Japanese colonial modernity transition so seamlessly into socialist urban space? What elements of the Japanese project were fundamental parts of such a transformation, and how did the socialist regimes of the late 1940s and early 1950s deal with this? In answering these questions, my analysis delves deeply into the most controversial themes in modern Chinese history. I examine the legacies of Japanese colonial expansion and development on the modern Chinese

  • Japan Between the Wars
    JAPAN BETWEEN THE WARS The Meiji era was not followed by as neat and logical a periodi- zation. The Emperor Meiji (his era name was conflated with his person posthumously) symbolized the changes of his period so perfectly that at his death in July 1912 there was a clear sense that an era had come to an end. His successor, who was assigned the era name Taisho¯ (Great Righteousness), was never well, and demonstrated such embarrassing indications of mental illness that his son Hirohito succeeded him as regent in 1922 and re- mained in that office until his father’s death in 1926, when the era name was changed to Sho¯wa. The 1920s are often referred to as the “Taisho¯ period,” but the Taisho¯ emperor was in nominal charge only until 1922; he was unimportant in life and his death was irrelevant. Far better, then, to consider the quarter century between the Russo-Japanese War and the outbreak of the Manchurian Incident of 1931 as the next era of modern Japanese history. There is overlap at both ends, with Meiji and with the resur- gence of the military, but the years in question mark important developments in every aspect of Japanese life. They are also years of irony and paradox. Japan achieved success in joining the Great Powers and reached imperial status just as the territo- rial grabs that distinguished nineteenth-century imperialism came to an end, and its image changed with dramatic swiftness from that of newly founded empire to stubborn advocate of imperial privilege. Its military and naval might approached world standards just as those standards were about to change, and not long before the disaster of World War I produced revul- sion from armament and substituted enthusiasm for arms limi- tations.

  • Tuberculosis-Related Stigma and Its Determinants
    Chen et al. BMC Public Health (2021) 21:6 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-020-10055-2 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Tuberculosis-related stigma and its determinants in Dalian, Northeast China: a cross-sectional study Xu Chen, Liang Du, Ruiheng Wu, Jia Xu, Haoqiang Ji, Yu Zhang, Xuexue Zhu and Ling Zhou* Abstract Background: The stigma of tuberculosis (TB) poses a significant challenge to TB control because it leads to delayed diagnosis and non-adherence. However, few studies on TB-related stigma have been completed in China. The aim of the current study was to explore the status of TB-related stigma and its associated predictive factors among TB patients in Dalian, Northeast China. Methods: An institution-based, cross-sectional survey was conducted among outpatients at Dalian Tuberculosis Hospital in Liaoning Province, Northeast China. Data were collected by using a questionnaire that measured TB- related stigma, treatment status, anxiety, social support, doctor-patient communication and so on. A multiple linear regression model was used to determine the predictors of TB-related stigma. Results: A total of 601 eligible participants were recruited. The mean score for TB-related stigma was 9.07, and the median score was 10. The average scores for anxiety, social support and doctor-patient communication were 4.03, 25.41 and 17.17, respectively. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that patients who were female (β = 1.19, 95% CI: 0.38–2.01, P < 0.05), had self-assessed moderate or severe disease (β = 1.08, 95% CI: 0.12–2.03 and β = 1.36, 95% CI: 0.03–2.70, respectively, P < 0.05), and had anxiety (β = 0.38, 95% CI: 0.30–0.46, P < 0.001) were more likely to have a greater level of TB-related stigma than their counterparts.

  • Pinyin Conversion Project Specifications for Conversion of Name and Series Authority Records October 1, 2000
    PINYIN CONVERSION PROJECT SPECIFICATIONS FOR CONVERSION OF NAME AND SERIES AUTHORITY RECORDS OCTOBER 1, 2000 Prepared by the Library of Congress Authorities Conversion Group, February 10, 2000 Annotated with Clarifications from LC March 23, 2000. Contact point: Gail Thornburg Revised, incorporating language suggested by OCLC, as well as adding and changing other sections, April 14, 2000, May 30, 2000, June 20, 2000, June 22, 2000, July 5, 2000, July 27, 2000, August 14, 2000, and September 12, 2000 1 Introduction The conversion, or perhaps better, translation, to PY in our model involves distinct and somewhat arbitrary paths. We employ both specialized dictionaries and strict step-by-step substitution rules for those cases where dictionary substitution proves inadequate. Details of the conversion are given below. This summary seeks to attune the reader to the overall methods and strategy. 1.1 Scope The universe of authority records to be converted (or translated) is determined by scanning headings in the NACO file (i.e., 1xx tags) for character strings matching WG syllables. It is important to understand that this identification plans to, in part, utilize the fixed filed language code in related bibliographic records. The scan is done on a sub-field by sub-field basis for those MARC sub-fields within the heading that could reasonably contain WG strings. Thus, we would scan the heading's sub-field "a" but not sub-field "e" etc. The presence of WG strings in portions of the heading thus acts as a trigger to identify a candidate record for conversion. Once a record has been so identified all other fields that could carry WG data are examined and processed for conversion.

  • Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility
    Inclusive Mobility: Improving the Accessibility Public Disclosure Authorized of Road Infrastructure through Public Participation East Asia and Pacific Region Transport, This note describes a number of innovations taken by some Chinese cities, in particular Jinzhou, Liaoning Province, to ensure that urban transport systems are more accessible for the mobility-challenged. Public participation by disabled residents in Liaoning Province in northeast China has increased awareness and consideration for special needs in the design and implementation of road infrastructure. Jinzhou has convened a series of meetings inviting public participation on the issue of improving traffic infrastructure for use by disabled people. With the introduction of some low or no-cost features, the principle of “people first” for urban transport has Public Disclosure Authorized been put into practice. People with mobility impairments in cities around the world have long struggled to have their special needs accommodated in the design of urban infrastructure. The quality of life for citizens is reduced when they cannot take full advantage of roads, sidewalks and other transport facilities. Recently, significant progress has been made in the developed world to consider the needs of those with full or partial disabilities such as blindness and paralysis by implementing a number of features including textured pavements, curb cuts, safety islands, countdown and audible crossing signals. The World Bank has been working with various clients in China to identify ways to effectively introduce public participation in the infrastructure planning and implementation process. A structured Public Disclosure Authorized consultation process can help with particular needs, especially those of pedestrians, bicyclists, and other vulnerable road users that require special attention to detail and coordination between multiple agencies such as designers, builders, operators, maintenance, and law enforcement officials.
