Cyberlaw
Article Abstract:
The Internet has no fixed, unchangeable or easily defined character, and as a result of this, cyberlaw is highly susceptible to periodic changes in technology, social norms, social consciousness and socioeconomic conditions. A discussion on the social changes brought about by cyberspace focuses on the issue of freedom of speech and expression in Japan, as well as the lessons American cyberlaw might have for the Asian nation.

The politics on indeterminacy and the right to health
Article Abstract:
An argument that a positive acknowledgement of the indeterminate character of health should transform, rather than simply hinder, the quality of debate over what is to be understood in connection with a 'right to health' is discussed. The focus on indeterminacy provides a key to generating a certain symmetry and complemetarity of interest, among the privileged and underprivileged in promoting health as a human right.

Mobility and safety
Article Abstract:
An insight into road traffic accidents is detailed by unraveling both the internal elements and the social context of the so-called car driver- hybrid. It is suggested that coexisting forms of mobility and immobility always determine being in traffic. It is concluded that transport safety experts create a specific kind of spatio-temporal order within which the motile hybrid exists.
