Weaponizing Kinship
The ongoing Colombian armed conflict has produced widespread homicides and enforced disappearances, as armed actors used violence to terrorize communities and consolidate power. Family bereavement—one of the most pervasive and enduring consequences of this violence—remains critically understudied from a quantitative perspective. We quantify the population burden of bereavement—ever having lost a family member to conflict—using kinship demographic…
La mortalidad en Uruguay en el contexto de la pandemia de Covid-19
Durante el primer año de la pandemia de COVID-19, Uruguay se destacó en el contexto latinoamericano por una baja mortalidad. Sin embargo, esta situación no logró sostenerse durante los años siguientes. En este trabajo analizamos el impacto de la pandemia en Uruguay durante el período 2020-2022, explorando las disparidades de mortalidad entre departamentos, así como las contribuciones de las diferentes causas de muerte a los cambios en la esperanz…
Life and Death in a Changing City
Over the past two centuries, European metropolises have transformed from urban graveyards to healthy cocoons. Despite its critical role in the history of longevity, this evolution remains underexplored due to limited detailed data. We leverage a newly harmonized dataset of high-quality, cause-specific mortality records to examine the rapid increase in life expectancy in Paris during the first half of the 20th century. Using a consistent cause-of-…
Teatro Como Innovación Educativa en Un Establecimiento Educacional Chileno
El uso del teatro en educación puede considerarse una innovación si se engloba en acciones educativas reales, justificadas, transformadoras, inclusivas y éticas. Presentamos un estudio de caso único en el cual describimos y analizamos cómo se desarrollan tres ámbitos socioeducativos en el proyecto educativo teatral de un centro escolar chileno y qué beneficios conlleva su implementación innovadora en la comunidad educativa. Los resultados se orga…
Portuguese and German Intonation Contours in a Two-Way Immersion School
This study investigates the intonation contours of neutral yes-no interrogatives produced by simultaneous bilingual children in their two native languages. Previous studies have shown prosodic transfer from one language to another, either from the dominant into the non-dominant language or vice versa, but little is known about what specifically triggers this behaviour. This study explores how bilingual children make use of phonetic-phonological r…
The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on mortality in Uruguay from 2020 to 2022
BACKGROUNDIn 2020, as the SARS-CoV-2 virus spread globally, many countries around the world experienced substantial increases in mortality, including in Latin America.In that year, many non-pharmaceutical measures were implemented in Uruguay.The first COVID-19 vaccines were administered in February 2021.Uruguay has various characteristics that were pointed out as risk factors in the course of the pandemic, mainly an old population, high urbanizat…
The Human Multiple Births Database (HMBD)
The frequency of twin births has increased dramatically since the 1970s in nearly all developed countries. This upsurge poses a public health challenge because multiple pregnancies are associated with higher health risks and other disadvantages for both th
Prominence marking in an edge-prominent language - the case of Drehu
This study investigates prosodic correlates of phrasing in Drehu, an Oceanic language from New Caledonia. The analysis is concerned with the demarcation of prosodic levels in the language, namely the Accentual Phrase and the Intonation Phrase. First impressionistic descriptions of Drehu state there is fixed word initial stress, however recent experimental evidence does not support this claim. Instead, it has been suggested that Drehu could be an …
Fundamental Frequency and Regional Variation in Lifou French
This study presents two experiments aimed at investigating tune-to-text alignment and pitch scaling in Lifou French, a variety spoken by bilingual speakers of French and Drehu. Descriptions of New Caledonian French have focussed on language use of European descendants or the variety spoken in the urban region, neglecting emergent varieties spoken by the indigenous population in rural areas, like the island Lifou. Due to the reduced inventory of p…

La pénalité urbaine en matière d'espérance de vie pendant la transition sanitaire au Danemark, 1850-1910
La population urbaine du Danemark, durant le xix e siècle, se caractérise par une croissance rapide et des conditions sanitaires médiocres. Cet article présente l'évolution de l'espérance de vie danoise entre 1850 et 1910, dans la population générale ainsi que dans les zones urbaines et rurales, à partir des données d'état civil sur les décès. Il analyse également les contributions des causes de décès aux évolutions de l'espérance de vie à Copenh…
Différences de mortalité par Covid-19
L'urgence que représente la compréhension de la pandémie de Covid-19 a entraîné des différences considérables entre les procédures de collecte des données des pays concernés, qui s'efforcent tous de produire des informations en temps réel mais qui restent des statistiques de mortalité imparfaites. Pour remédier à ce problème, l'analyse porte sur les décomptes de décès par Covid-19 provenant de la base de données « La démographie des décès par Cov…
The contribution of urbanization to changes in life expectancy in Scotland, 1861-1910
During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, urban populations in Europe and North America continued to be afflicted by very high mortality as rapid urbanization and industrialization processes got underway. Here we measure the effect of population redistribution from (low-mortality) rural to (high-mortality) urban areas on changes in Scottish life expectancy at birth from 1861 to 1910. Using vital registration data for that period, we ap…

Weaponizing Kinship
The ongoing Colombian armed conflict has produced widespread homicides and enforced disappearances, as armed actors used violence to terrorize communities and consolidate power. Family bereavement—one of the most pervasive and enduring consequences of this violence—remains critically understudied from a quantitative perspective. We quantify the population burden of bereavement—ever having lost a family member to conflict—using kinship demographic…
