  • The Chinese State in Ming Society
    The Chinese State in Ming Society The Ming dynasty (1368–1644), a period of commercial expansion and cultural innovation, fashioned the relationship between the present-day state and society in China. In this unique collection of reworked and illustrated essays, one of the leading scholars of Chinese history re-examines this relationship and argues that, contrary to previous scholarship, which emphasized the heavy hand of the state, it was radical responses within society to changes in commercial relations and social networks that led to a stable but dynamic “constitution” during the Ming dynasty. This imaginative reconsideration of existing scholarship also includes two essays first published here and a substantial introduction, and will be fascinating reading for scholars and students interested in China’s development. Timothy Book is Principal of St. John’s College, University of British Colombia. Critical Asian Scholarship Edited by Mark Selden, Binghamton and Cornell Universities, USA The series is intended to showcase the most important individual contributions to scholarship in Asian Studies. Each of the volumes presents a leading Asian scholar addressing themes that are central to his or her most significant and lasting contribution to Asian studies. The series is committed to the rich variety of research and writing on Asia, and is not restricted to any particular discipline, theoretical approach or geographical expertise.

  • White Wares of Northern China
    200 White Wares of Northern China Regina Krahl The white wares of northern China launched the country’s reputation as a center of porcelain. As hard, dense, and durable as their southern green counterparts, but more immediately appealing due to their sparkling, glossy, clean-looking material, white wares became the envy and aspiration of potters worldwide. Porcelain clays are naturally available in north China, and some rare examples of white wares—made of a pure, white clay, unglazed, but fired at temperatures just high enough to qualify as stonewares—have been discovered at sites of the late Shang dynasty (circa 1600–circa 1050 BCE) at Anyang in Henan province. As no continuous development, like that seen in southern stoneware, followed these early beginnings, however, they have to be considered isolated experiments, rather than origins of north China’s stoneware production. It would take another 1,600 years or so before continuous production of stonewares began in northern China and before the first white porcelains were commercialized on a regular basis. The white wares on the Belitung wreck comprised some 300 items, most of them tablewares, all made in northern China. These elegant yet utilitarian ceramics were unique to China and highly prized throughout Asia. The white wares recovered from this cargo, probably the most valuable ceramics on board, are varied in type and may represent a combination of wares from three or four different kilns. Produced mainly in Hebei and Henan provinces, they may not have been easy to come by for merchants based far away in southern port cities, even though the north was linked to the international port of Yangzhou via the Grand Canal.

Mao Zedong’s In memory of Norman Bethune and Zhou Erfu’s Dr. Bethune have played an important role in propagandizing the image of Bethune. The Scalpel, the Sword by Ted Allan and Sydney Gordon and The Politics of Passion -Norman Bethune's Writing and Art by Larry Hannant are especially the significant works to study Bethune. Since the beginning of 1980s some new features have been presented, such as new information, endless emerging of new works, enlarged number of researchers and the organizational trend of the study and so on. Of cause we have more work to do, which needs the cooperation and the communication between researchers in different areas, between different branches of learning or even between different countries.

China Beijing, China Phone: 86 1082800577 ext 512 Fax: 86 1082800177 Email: [email protected] Abstract Background: Electronic data capture (EDC) systems have been widely used in clinical research, but mobile device±based electronic data capture (mEDC) system has not been well evaluated. Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate the feasibility, advantages, and challenges of mEDC in data collection, project management, and telemonitoring in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). Methods: We developed an mEDC to support an RCT called ªTelmisartan and Hydrochlorothiazide Antihypertensive Treatment (THAT)º study, which was a multicenter, double-blinded, RCT, with the purpose of comparing the efficacy of telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) monotherapy in high-sodium-intake patients with mild to moderate hypertension during a 60 days follow-up. Semistructured interviews were conducted during and after the trial to evaluate the feasibility, advantage, and challenge of mEDC. Nvivo version 9.0 (QSR International) was used to analyze records of interviews, and a thematic framework method was used to obtain outcomes.
