Redefining Heresy and Tolerance
In Redefining Heresy and Tolerance, Hung Tak Wai examines how the Qing empire governed Muslims and Christians under its rule with a non-interventionist policy. Manchu emperors adopted a tolerant attitude towards Islam and Christianity as long as political stability and loyalty remained unthreatened. However, Hung argues that such tolerance had its limitations. Since the mid-eighteenth century, the Qing court intentionally minimised the importance of the Islamic identity. Restrictions were imposed on the Muslims’ external connections with Western Asia. The Christian minority was kept distant from politics and the Han majority. At the same time, Confucian scholars began to acquire a new unde...
Fear, Heterodoxy, and Crime in Traditional China
This multi-contributor volume examines the evolving relationship between fear, heterodoxy and crime in traditional China. It throws light on how these three variously interwoven elements shaped local policies and people’s perceptions of the religious, ethnic, and cultural “other.” Authors depart from the assumption that “otherness” is constructed, stereotyped and formalized within the moral, political and legal institutions of Chinese society. The capacity of their findings to address questions about the emotional dimension of mass mobilization, the socio-political implications of heterodoxy, and attributions of crime is the result of integrating multiple sources of knowledge from history, religious studies and social science. Contributors are Ágnes Birtalan, Ayumu Doi, Fabian Graham, Hung Tak Wai, Jing Li, Hang Lin, Tommaso Previato, and Noriko Unno.

Multi-organ Linkage Pathophysiology and Therapy for NAFLD and NASH
NAFLD and NASH refer to the hepatic phenotype of metabolic syndromes strongly associated with obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. NAFLD and NASH have complex pathogenesis modulated not only by the liver but also by muscle, adipose tissue, pancreas, gut microbiome, and immune and central nervous systems. This complex pathology, coupled with insulin resistance, lipid and bile acid changes, and congenital genetic predisposition, induces liver injury due to oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum stress, and autophagy dysfunction. Additionally, NAFLD and NASH contribute to diseases such as cirrhosis, atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, lung disease, and cancer in various organs, leading to...
