Pre-service teachers’ social representations of climate change and biodiversity
Purposes This study aims to explore pre-service teachers’ social representations of climate change and biodiversity (sustainable development goals [SDGs] 13, 14 and 15) to identify barriers and opportunities for strengthening education for sustainable development (ESD) in initial teacher education. Design/methodology/approach Adopting an interpretivist stance and a multiple-case design, the authors administered a mixed-methods questionnaire to 13…
El impacto educativo del partenariado en experiencias de aprendizaje-servicio universitario
La transformación de los entornos de aprendizaje en la universidad exige modelos pedagógicos que promuevan la conexión entre el saber académico y el compromiso social. En este contexto, el aprendizaje-servicio se consolida como una propuesta educativa que articula la formación disciplinar con la acción comunitaria, configurando ecosistemas formativos abiertos, dialógicos y socialmente responsables. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar, desde l…
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…
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…
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…
Sex differences in children with severe health conditions
OBJECTIVES: Based on the existing sex differences in mortality rates in children, we would like to explore whether girls and boys respond differently under severe health conditions, in terms of mortality and cause of admission. METHODS: We analyzed demographic characteristics (age and sex), causes of admission, clinical parameters, and mortality in a sample of 2,609 patients from a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) in a children's hospital in …
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…

Inbreeding from isonymy and repeated pairs of surnames in the Ebro Delta region (Tarragona, Spain)
The aim of the study was to evaluate the levels of inbreeding calculated from isonymy with its random (Fr) and nonrandom (Fn) components, and repeated pairs of surnames (RP2) and their random component (RP2r) in the Ebro River Delta region (Tarragona, Spain). This region is made up of four parishes, and data correspond to the period 1939-1995. The global results are on the same levels as observed in other studies, but the values obtained in 3 of …
Genetic Relationships Between Parishes in the Ebro Delta Region (Spain) as Estimated by Migration Matrix and Surnames
To determine whether there are preferential relationships among individuals from the different parishes of the Ebro River delta region, we analyzed the population relationships, taking into account both the birthplaces of the spouses and their surname frequencies. We used data from the 9,085 marriages recorded in the Ebro delta area between 1939 and 1995. Using each spouse's birthplace, we calculated the distances between the subject populations …
