“…Although his quotation below illustrates the ambiguity that was also evident in the non-transplant group, the fear inherent in thinking of potentially imminent surgery is apparent: Graham's quotation highlights the possibility of experiencing health as 'a new lease of life' that transplantation offers. However, adults' willingness for surgery can be seen as an 'existential dilemma'-that is the relief of symptoms versus pain and possible death (Radley,20 Green, & Radley, 1987). Indeed, the risk of surgery had to be taken, as the only alternative Management of emotion appeared to be the focus for adults throughout the transplant process;…”

“…Research on patients waiting for cardiac surgery has identified that waiting has a negative effect on multiple areas of patients' lives including work, social activities, leisure activities, home management, family relationships, sexual relationships, and financial status. [4][5][6] A neglected area of study in this population is the effect of waiting time for CABG surgery on patients' symptoms, functional status, and various components of their psychosocial status. This investigation measures and describes four psychosocial and functional components: uncertainty, symptom distress, anxiety, and functional status, in relation to waiting time for CABG.…”

“…For instance, Alting (1983) writes about Akha as a ''perennial minority group.'' Radley (1986) writes in a similar vein about Mong, as does Tapp (1989) for Hmong. 3 While Alting and Tapp write about some of the complexities of cultural appropriations from the state, they and Radley make their cases as if social life in history comes down to two actors, the minority ethnic group and the state.…”

This article reexamines accounts of Mien (Yao) ethnic minority populations in northern Thailand, in particular generalizations about social structure in terms of household formations. Two ethnographic accounts from the same province of Thailand during the 1960s suggest opposite tendencies in Mien household dynamics, but each makes a case for Mien society. This restudy proposes that the dynamics of the 1960s were largely specific to engagements with the regional political economy and a reworking of social relations, which led to the prominence of the household in social life. These dynamics were in and of the twentieth century, and this article draws on a contrast with the two generations immediately prior to what the ethnographies describe to situate households in relation to the shape of Mien social formations.The query in the title of the article refers to the opposite tendencies of expansion and fragmentation reported for Mien households and the broader issue of whether household dynamics constitute a miniature version of society. At issue, ethnographically, is the characterization of the social organization of Mien (Yao) swidden farmers in northern Thailand. 1 Two anthropologists who did research with Mien in Chiangrai Province during the 1960s came to different conclusions about the shape of Mien society, each referring to patterns in household formation. One maintained that among Mien there was a marked tendency for small and transient households and settlements, and the other concluded that there was an ongoing competition for labor in Mien society, with a resulting expansion of households, which reached up to ten times the average number of household members. Both researchers and a third anthropologist discuss purchases of non-Mien children for adoptions as a significant component of Mien Ethnohistory 48:4 (fall 2001)
