    The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa­ tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

  • Prof. Yi-Xue Li
    Prof. Yi-Xue Li Professor & Leader of proposed Shanghai Institutes for Bio-Medicine Director Shanghai Center for Bioinformation Technology Vice Director Key Laboratory of Systems Biology Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences Topic： Protein phosphorylation plays an essential role in the evolution of vertebrates Abstract： Recent publications have revealed that the evolution of phosphosites are influenced by local protein structures and whether the phosphosites have characterized functions or not. With knowledge of the wide functional range of phosphorylation, we attempted to clarify whether the evolutionary conservation of phosphosites is different among distinct functional modules. We grouped the phosphosites in the human genome into modules according to the functional categories of KEGG, and we investigated their evolutionary conservation in several vertebrate genomes from mouse to zebrafish. We found that phosphosites in the basic functional modules (BFMs) such as metabolic and genetic processes, display a lower evolutionary conservation than those in the vertebrate-specific functional modules (VFMs) such as signaling processes and more complex organic systems. The phosphosites in the VFMs are also significantly more conserved than their flanking regions, but those in the BFMs are not. The above results hold for both serine/threonine and tyrosine residues, although the fraction of phosphorylated tyrosine is raised in the VFMs. Moreover, the difference in evolutionary conservation of the phosphosites cannot be explained by their difference in local protein structures, and there are also more phosphosites with known functions in the VFMs. Based on these results, we concluded that protein phosphorylation may play more dominant roles for the VFMs than the BFMs. As phosphorylation is a quite rapid biological reaction, the VFMs that quickly respond to outer stimuli and inner signals might more heavily depend on this regulatory mechanism.

  • Ideophones in Middle Chinese
    KU LEUVEN FACULTY OF ARTS BLIJDE INKOMSTSTRAAT 21 BOX 3301 3000 LEUVEN, BELGIË ! Ideophones in Middle Chinese: A Typological Study of a Tang Dynasty Poetic Corpus Thomas'Van'Hoey' ' Presented(in(fulfilment(of(the(requirements(for(the(degree(of(( Master(of(Arts(in(Linguistics( ( Supervisor:(prof.(dr.(Jean=Christophe(Verstraete((promotor)( ( ( Academic(year(2014=2015 149(431(characters Abstract (English) Ideophones in Middle Chinese: A Typological Study of a Tang Dynasty Poetic Corpus Thomas Van Hoey This M.A. thesis investigates ideophones in Tang dynasty (618-907 AD) Middle Chinese (Sinitic, Sino- Tibetan) from a typological perspective. Ideophones are defined as a set of words that are phonologically and morphologically marked and depict some form of sensory image (Dingemanse 2011b). Middle Chinese has a large body of ideophones, whose domains range from the depiction of sound, movement, visual and other external senses to the depiction of internal senses (cf. Dingemanse 2012a). There is some work on modern variants of Sinitic languages (cf. Mok 2001; Bodomo 2006; de Sousa 2008; de Sousa 2011; Meng 2012; Wu 2014), but so far, there is no encompassing study of ideophones of a stage in the historical development of Sinitic languages. The purpose of this study is to develop a descriptive model for ideophones in Middle Chinese, which is compatible with what we know about them cross-linguistically. The main research question of this study is “what are the phonological, morphological, semantic and syntactic features of ideophones in Middle Chinese?” This question is studied in terms of three parameters, viz. the parameters of form, of meaning and of use.

  • IUSSP Laureate Nomination Letter for ZENG Yi
    IUSSP Laureate Nomination letter for ZENG Yi We are pleased to nominate Professor Yi Zeng for his outstanding contributions to the advancement of population sciences and distinguished services rendered to the community of scholars in population sciences in general and IUSSP in particular. Yi Zeng’s contributions to the advancement of population science may be grouped into two categories: (a) research and (b) capacity building and institution building. In addition, we highlight service rendered to the IUSSP (section c). Yi Zeng’s contributions and service to the IUSSP and the scientific community at large have been acknowledged widely. A brief account of the recognition is offered in section d. a. Research During his professional career, Yi Zeng developed a research focus on healthy aging and family and household demography. In important ways, he shaped two areas that are central to population sciences. a.1 Healthy aging In 1998, he and colleagues in China, Europe and the United States launched the ground- breaking Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Study (CLHLS). The objective was to develop a knowledge base for enhancing the wellbeing and quality of life of elderly in China and worldwide. China was aging at an extraordinary pace and had the largest number of elderly persons in the world. The CLHLS was and is the largest longitudinal study of the oldest-old aged 80+ (with compatible young-old aged 65-79) in the world. Several innovative features were introduced to disentangle the effects of socioeconomic and behavioral/lifestyle factors, social support, environmental factors, genetics and genetics-environment interactions on healthy longevity.

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd | Journal of Cell Science (2020) 133, jcs246173. doi:10.1242/jcs.246173 FIRST PERSON First person – Yi Liu First Person is a series of interviews with the first authors of a selection of papers published in Journal of Cell Science, helping early-career researchers promote themselves alongside their papers. Yi Liu is first author on ‘Direct interaction between CEP85 and STIL mediates PLK4-driven directed cell migration’, published in JCS. Yi conducted the research described in this article while a PhD student in Dr Laurence Pelletier’s lab at Lunenfeld-Tanenbaum Research Institute, University of Toronto, Canada. He is now a Postdoc in the lab of Dr Rudolf Jaenisch at Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research, MIT, USA, where he uses stem cells to study complex human brain disorders. How would you explain the main findings of your paper in lay terms? Metastasis is of paramount importance in the prognosis of cancer patients. Malignant cancer cells acquire the motile ability to invade the surrounding tissues and penetrate the vascular circulation to produce secondary tumors, which is the major cause of mortality of most cancer patients. The PLK4 gene has recently been proposed as a prime target for cancer therapeutics since its upregulation has a great impact on cancer metastasis. Hence, our work aims to characterize the molecular basis of PLK4-driven cancer cell motility. We found that CEP85 and STIL proteins form a complex that regulates PLK4 activity and thereby Yi Liu plays a critical role in cancer cell migration. Molecularly, this complex was shown to modulate the organization of actin, a major type of Why did you choose Journal of Cell Science for your paper? cytoskeleton that controls cell motility.

  • HÀNWÉN and TAIWANESE SUBJECTIVITIES: a GENEALOGY of LANGUAGE POLICIES in TAIWAN, 1895-1945 by Hsuan-Yi Huang a DISSERTATION S
    HÀNWÉN AND TAIWANESE SUBJECTIVITIES: A GENEALOGY OF LANGUAGE POLICIES IN TAIWAN, 1895-1945 By Hsuan-Yi Huang A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Curriculum, Teaching, and Educational Policy—Doctor of Philosophy 2013 ABSTRACT HÀNWÉN AND TAIWANESE SUBJECTIVITIES: A GENEALOGY OF LANGUAGE POLICIES IN TAIWAN, 1895-1945 By Hsuan-Yi Huang This historical dissertation is a pedagogical project. In a critical and genealogical approach, inspired by Foucault’s genealogy and effective history and the new culture history of Sol Cohen and Hayden White, I hope pedagogically to raise awareness of the effect of history on shaping who we are and how we think about our self. I conceptualize such an historical approach as effective history as pedagogy, in which the purpose of history is to critically generate the pedagogical effects of history. This dissertation is a genealogical analysis of Taiwanese subjectivities under Japanese rule. Foucault’s theory of subjectivity, constituted by the four parts, substance of subjectivity, mode of subjectification, regimen of subjective practice, and telos of subjectification, served as a conceptual basis for my analysis of Taiwanese practices of the self-formation of a subject. Focusing on language policies in three historical events: the New Culture Movement in the 1920s, the Taiwanese Xiāngtǔ Literature Movement in the early 1930s, and the Japanization Movement during Wartime in 1937-1945, I analyzed discourses circulating within each event, particularly the possibilities/impossibilities created and shaped by discourses for Taiwanese subjectification practices. I illustrate discursive and subjectification practices that further shaped particular Taiwanese subjectivities in a particular event.
