Sobre os conceitos de existência (Existentialität) e facticidade (Faktizität) em Ser e Tempo
O presente artigo tem como tema e obejtivo principal, tratar dos conceitos de Existência (Existentialität) e Facticidade (Faktizität) em Ser e Tempo, obra do filosofo Martin Heidegger. Por isso, o texto explora também o conceito de ser-aí (Dasein), definido como o ente que possibilita a compreensão do ser, integrando dimensões ontológica, que fundamentam o ser e ôntica, que está ligado ao âmbito existencial. O ser-aí se caracteriza pelo poder-ser…
Health, childlessness and poverty in Latin American countries
Recent literature proposes that poverty could lead women to remain childless, thus attenuating or reverting higher fertility typically observed among women of lower schooling level. We explore the role of health in this approach: does health have a distinctive detrimental effect on fertility among women of lower schooling levels? To that end, we compute the gap in the definite childlessness rate by self-reported disability status across schooling…
The Emergence of Bimodal Fertility Profiles in Latin America
Modelo cuantitativo para mejorar el financiamiento de la atención primaria en Chile
Objective. Propose and apply a methodology to estimate adjusted expected expenditure in each locality in the Chilean primary health care (PHC) system in 2016. Methods. First of all, expected per capita expenditure at the national level was calculated on the basis of a detailed health plan, and then a zero-sum adjustment was made to the expenditure in each locality, using the local age/sex profile and the local average socioeconomic level, years o…
Income inequality and adolescent fertility in low-income countries
The well-known socioeconomic gradient in health does not imply that income inequality by itself has any effect on well-being. However, there is evidence of a positive association between income inequality and adolescent fertility across countries. Nevertheless, this key finding is not focused on low-income countries. This study applies a multilevel logistic regression of country-level adolescent fertility on country-level income inequality plus i…
Is financial literacy an economic good
Financial literacy (FL) is generally regarded as an economic good which individuals choose whether or not to consume depending on how much of a contribution they expect it to make to the quality of their financial decision-making. This construct has not, however, been tested empirically. In this study we analyse variations in FL on the part of individuals who experience major life-cycle events that show up in the data and that can be assumed to h…
Late-Entry-Into-Motherhood Women Are Responsible for Fertility Recuperation
In countries where age at parenthood has shifted to older ages, a necessary precondition for fertility recuperation is that women having their first child later in life (after age 30) will also eventually achieve a higher completed fertility, compared with the previous cohorts. This study analysed the changes in age-at-first-child-conditional fertility rates in Western Europe through three birth cohorts (1936–1940, 1946–1950 and 1956–1960). It wa…
The evolution of the socioeconomic gap in fertility among adolescents in Chile, 1990-2011
For research and policy issues, it is very important to measure the evolution of socioeconomic differences in the adolescent fertility rate over time (AFER) in order to be able to provide a quantitative description of such an evolution. By combining well reputed Chilean data, this study computes a ratio of AFER (15-17 years-old) between the 30% of the population living in economically worst off areas (the numerator) against the corresponding 30% …
Global, regional, and national levels and causes of maternal mortality during 1990–2013
Global, regional, and national levels of neonatal, infant, and under-5 mortality during 1990–2013
BACKGROUND: Remarkable financial and political efforts have been focused on the reduction of child mortality during the past few decades. Timely measurements of levels and trends in under-5 mortality are important to assess progress towards the Millennium Development Goal 4 (MDG 4) target of reduction of child mortality by two thirds from 1990 to 2015, and to identify models of success. METHODS: We generated updated estimates of child mortality i…
Perception of HIV risk and the quantity and quality of children
Inconsistent Respondents and Sensitive Questions
This article focuses on respondents as the source of measurement error, regardless of the question being asked, interviewer effects, or other factors that influence survey quality. Some individuals simply provide poorer answers as a result of a behavior called satisficing. An especially troublesome case is that of sensitive questions, where misreporting is common. In the study reported here, a significant role was found for individual-level time …
Educational differences in chronic conditions and their role in the educational differences in overall mortality
Demographers use different models to decompose the prevalence of given health conditions. This article discusses how these models can help us understand the ways in which these conditions affect overall mortality. In particular, this framework can be u

Uma experiência em educação matemática no oriente
O presente relato de experiência trata da descrição da Semana da Matemática, ocorrida no Timor-Leste em 2005. Ela é parte integrante do Projeto Piloto de Capacitação de Professores de Matemática, coordenado pelo Prof. Dr. Chateaubriand Nunes Amâncio, a partir da parceria do World Bank com o Ministério da Educação, Cultura, Juventude e Desporto do Timor-Leste. A essa Semana agregou-se o grupo de professores de Matemática da Missão Brasileira de Co…
