Although science and law employ different methods to gather and weigh evidence, their conclusions are remarkably convergent with regard to the effect that workplace stress has on the health of employees. Science, using the language of probability, affirms that certain stressors predict adverse health outcomes such as disabling anxiety and depression, cardiovascular disease, certain types of injury, and a variety of immune system disorders. Law, using the language of reasonable foreseeability, affirms that these adverse outcomes are predictable under certain conditions, typically defined in relation to what a reasonable person should know. Society is arguably in a position to establish standards for the abatement of certain types of workplace stress. As part of this process, we need to conceptualize an ideal form of conduct that exemplifies the standards to which both law and science urge us to aspire. For this purpose, the concept of the neighbor at work is proposed.

Drinking water quality has drawn enormous attention from scientific communities, the industrial sector, and the common public in several countries during the last couple of decades. The scholarship in science and technology studies somehow overlooked this crucial domain. This article attempts to contribute to this gray area by exploring how drinking water quality is understood in Indian water policies, laws, and courtrooms. The article argues that water policies and laws in India were significantly shaped by international treaties and global environmental stewardship. In the courtrooms, the Indian judiciary employed minimum science-based evidence in decision making in the context of drinking water–related cases; rather they used a rights-based approach and minimally engaged with the issue of drinking water quality/standards. Whatever little science used as valid science by the judges in the decision making was entirely expert-based. The reliance of the judges on the scientific expertise of the experts representing regulatory organizations and public institutions was another unique characteristic of the relationship between science and law in India.

The edited volume brings together scholars in the field of law and the cognitive sciences, in particular law and the neurosciences. It considers what the relationship between law and the cognitive sciences is and should be from a theoretical perspective, for example by asking in what way and to what extent insights from the cognitive sciences can and should impact legal concepts, rules and paradigms. The topic of criminal responsibility exemplifies this relationship and several authors analyze specific elements of criminal responsibility in light of insights from the cognitive sciences

With the advancement of world globalization and economic integration, the demand for outstanding foreign-related legal talents is increasing.

According to Max Weber's ideal type analysis methodology, citizen dishonesty in contemporary Chinese society can be classified into two types: one by ordinary citizens and the other by public figures. Ordinary citizens' dishonesty leads to a magnified adverse effect of "bad money drives out good" and deconstructs the social credit system. Meanwhile, public figures' dishonesty not only damages society's interests but also degrades people's sense of identity with social ethics, triggering ethics and trust crises. In contemporary China, citizen dishonesty is the result of the transformation from a traditional acquaintance society to a modern stranger society as well as the transformation from a planned economy to a market economy. Establishing and improving a System of Joint Incentive for Honesty and Joint Punishment for Dishonesty is a Chinese solution to citizen dishonesty in contemporary China from the perspective of institutional innovation.
