Evolution of infant mortality and family-based risk factors in a preindustrial Austrian population
Infant mortality, a reflection of socioeconomic and health conditions of a population, is shaped by diverse factors. This study delves into a pre-industrial population, scrutinizing neonatal and post-neonatal deaths separately. Family factors such as mortality crises, religion, and legitimacy are also explored. Data of 9,086 people obtained through multigenerational information from ecclesiastic records from 1603 to 1908 were analysed by means of…

BREAKING local news
This study concerns Twitter use in a large local news market. Nonprofit newsrooms and a regional newspaper used replies to engage in reciprocal exchanges with audiences, but broadcasters used retweets, hashtags, and mentions for branding. News media differed in attention to news topics valued by audiences, with resource-constrained local newspapers overemphasizing sports. Attention to weather and crime were predictors of audience sharing of tweet…
Religion and fertility patterns
Catholicism and Protestantism have different ways of promoting the family unit that could influence survival and fertility at a population level. Parish records in the Austrian village of Hallstatt allowed the reconstruction of Catholic and Protestant genealogies over a period of 175 years (1733–1908) to evaluate how religion and social changes affected reproduction and survival. Life history traits such as lifespan beyond 15 years, number of off…
Teaching Online in the Age of Covid-19
This roundtable, the second installment in our "In Practice" series, takes as its focus the formidable challenge of online teaching in the age of COVID-. Many of us had never ventured far past our institutional virtual-learning platform before on-campus teaching was suspended in spring , while still others have been employing innovative online pedagogies for some time. This forum draws on the experiences and expertise of a range of Americanists t…
Movimiento de redención ecológica de la cuenca del Río Piracicaba
El antecedente del modelo de gestión de agua brasileño tiene su origen en los complejos procesos de degradación ambiental y los conflictos en torno a las exigencias hídricas desde la década de los años setenta. En ese sentido, la experiencia del estado de São Paulo es central, puesto que fue en las cuencas de los ríos Piracicaba, Capivari y Jundiaí (PCJ), donde la participación de ciudadanos a través del Movimento de Redención Ecológica Año 2000 …

This study aimed to analyze the association between nutritional quality of breakfast and cognitive interference in a sample of university students. A cross-sectional study was conducted, a total of 422 students between 18 and 25 years participated.…
Estudios De Los Dermatoglifos en Fueguinos
In order to contribute to the systematic knowledge of the biological anthropology of the Fueguian ethnic groups, the existing information on their dermatoglyphic features has been assembled. Three papers showing the individual results of 81 hands (14 ymana, 54 kawsqar and 13 selk'nam) have been found, and a database has been created for comparisons with other populations of the Americas. From a global perspective on the dermatoglyphic variations,…
Measuring fitness heritability
Objectives Traditional interpretation of Fisher's Fundamental Theorem of Natural Selection is that life history traits (LHT), which are closely related with fitness, show lower heritabilities, whereas morphological traits (MT) are less related with fitness and they are expected to show higher heritabilities. In humans, although few studies have examined the heritability of LHT and MT, none of them have analyzed the same sample for comparative pur…
Fertility Pattern and Fitness of the Spanish-Mexican Colonists of California (1742–1876)
The analysis of fertility in colonizing populations is of great interest, since its individuals experience a major environmental change, and fertility rates can reflect the level of adaptation of the population to its new conditions. Using Northrop’s genealogical compilations, this paper examines the fertility pattern of California’s early Spanish-Mexican colonists between 1742 and 1876, their fitness levels and their trend across time throughout…
Patrones de mortalidad y supervivencia en la población colonizadora de Magallanes (1885-1920)
A partir de los datos del Registro Civil chileno, se ha analizado la evolución de la mortalidad en la región de Magallanes entre 1885 y 1920. El principal objetivo del estudio ha sido conocer los patrones de mortalidad y supervivencia de una población colonizadora y valorar los efectos que una estructura de población joven, determinada por la entrada constante de colonos, ha podido tener en los niveles de mortalidad alcanzados por la población. E…
Edad materna y paridad en la población de Tierra del Fuego a mediados del siglo XX
El estudio de los nacimientos en el perodo 1943-1959 en las poblaciones chilenas de Tierra del Fuego e isla de Pascua muestra dos patrones de fecundidad muy distintos que se explican por las distintas situacions histricas, sociales y tnicas. Ambas islas difieren en la estructura poblacional segn el censo de 1952 y en las diferencias de edades entre ambos progenitores. La edad media de las madres segn la paridad es mayor en la poblacin fueguina. S…
Family and Teacher Characteristics as Predictors of Parent Involvement in Education During Early Childhood Among Afro-Caribbean and Latino Immigrant Families
Parent involvement is a robust predictor of academic achievement, but little is known about school- and home-based involvement in immigrant families. Drawing on ecological theories, the present study examined contextual characteristics as predictors of parent involvement among Afro-Caribbean and Latino parents of young students in urban public schools. Socioeconomic disadvantage was associated with lower home-based involvement. Several factors we…

Inbreeding and surnames
The population of Easter Island is one of the most interesting extant human communities due to its unique demographic history, its geographic isolation, and the development of an incomparable culture characterized by the towering “Moais” and its enigmatic writing. Following the colonization of its population by Polynesians from the Mangarevan Islands in the 5th century AD, the island remained isolated up until the middle of the 20th century. Unde…
Y-Chromosome-Specific STR Haplotype Data on the Rapanui Population (Easter Island)
Located in the south Pacific Ocean, Rapanui is one of the most isolated inhabited islands in the world. Cultural and biological data suggest that the initial Rapanui population originated from central Polynesia, although the presence of foreign or exotic genes in the contemporary population, as a result of admixture with Europeans and/or South Americans during the last two centuries, also has to be considered. To estimate the genetic affinities o…

Biological and behavioral determinants of fertility in Tierra del Fuego
The reproductive history of 182 women in postreproductive life or near menopause from the Chilean part of Tierra del Fuego was traced back by means of familial interviews. These postmenopausal women represent the population since almost the beginning of the settlement, and their reproductive years were spent on the island. Path analysis was applied to analyze fertility determinants of these women and to propose a complex model of interconnections…

Cross-cultural perspectives and codependence
Codependence treatment is considered in relation to the cultural narrative embedded in the concept and in light of the values, particularly those of family orientation, characteristic of the poor Hispanic population. Case examples illustrate the need to review the codependence model in sociocultural terms for effective use with poor Hispanic clients
