This paper intends to develop procedures which can be applied to different countries and databases to estimate migration rates using information on place of previous residence (last-move data) and duration of residence. For this, some modifications are proposed to previous methods, in order to improve the measurement of migration rates. Other estimations were calculated with information on place of residence at some fixed date in the past. Results suggest that estimations with improved techniques using last-move data give similar results to those ones provided by techniques based on place of residence from a specified number of years preceding the Census enumeration. As a demonstration, 1970, 1980, 1991 and 2000 Brazilian Censuses are used to estimate both sets of rates.

In december 1826, a young bostonian on a grand tour of Europe received a letter from his father, offering the following advice: “Such are the relations now existing between this country and Spanish America that a knowledge of the Spanish is quite as important as French. If you neglect either of these languages, you may be sure of not obtaining the station which you have in view.” The son received the letter in Paris, heeded his father's advice, and headed straight for Madrid. Some four months later he would write back from the capital of Spain, “I have not seen a city in Europe which has pleased my fancy so much, as a place of residence” (Helman 340).

The Town

The venerable relic which is the subject of this paper is a wooden cot (or cradle, as it has been called) of unquestionable antiquity, traditionally said to have been the cradle of the hero of Agincourt, the glory of Monmouth, Henry V.Lambarde, in his “Topographical Dictionary,” speaking of the destruction of Monmouth Castle in the thirteenth century, writes: “Thus the glorie of Monmouth had cleane perished, ne had it pleased God longe after in that place to give life to the noble King Hen. V.” (“Alphabetical Description of the Chief Places in England and Wales,” by William Lambarde, first published in 1730). It may befit me, therefore, as an inhabitant of this town, to use my endeavour to preserve from perishing the memory of an object which tradition has associated with him who has given undying fame to my place of residence, and which for a period of many years has been lost to us. Tradition, of course, is not evidence. But where direct testimony is not to be obtained, and in the absence of authoritative contradiction, it must be accepted as of a certain weight and worth. It will generally be found to be built upon a substratum of fact, and although, in process of time, the groundwork is almost invariably distorted, it is rarely destroyed. Should there be nothing, then, but tradition to link this rare example of mediaeval furniture with the House of Plantagenet and the town of Monmouth, it would not, I opine, be beneath the notice of those whose professed aim is to classify the stores of the past and to preserve everything connected with those of our forefathers whose history is an honour to our land.

Abstract Background: The husband's involvement in ANC is a form of the husband's responsibility for his wife's health. This study aims to analyze the effect of the husband's education level on the husband's involvement in ANC visits among the poor in Indonesia.Methods: The study employed the 2017 Indonesian Demographic and Health Survey data. The unit of analysis was poor coupled with wives aged 15-49 years old and had been pregnant for the past five years. Samples of 6,414 couple were obtained. Besides the husband's education, other independent variables analyzed in this study were of the place of residence, age, occupation, and wife’s parity. A binary logistic regression test was occupied in the final stage.Results: The results showed that husbands who had primary education were 1.470 times more likely than no education husbands for husband's involvement in ANC visit. Husbands who have secondary education were likely 2.129 times compared to no education husband for husband's involvement. Meanwhile, a husband who has a higher education was probably 3.618 times compared to no education husband for husband's involvement. In addition to the education level, 3 other variables proved to be significantly influential on the husband's involvement in ANC visits among the people in Indonesia, namely place of residence, occupation, and wife’s parity.Conclusion: The husband's education level was a determinant of the husband's involvement in ANC visits among the poor in Indonesia. The better the education level, the more likely it is that husband's involvement in the ANC visit.

This chapter argues that certain traits associated with the Second Sophistic have attracted a disproportionate amount of scholarly attention in recent years: preoccupation with the past, Greekness, and the quirky performance of multiple identities. It emphasizes that these traits coexist with articulations of being and belonging that appeal less to early twenty-first-century sentiment, such as common descent, heredity, and “purity.” Finally, it focuses on the Second Sophistic not as a broad cultural or literary phenomenon reaching far beyond the individuals named by Philostratus, but as a group constructed by Philostratus, a variation on the proliferating contemporary groups in the Roman Empire that appealed to traditional modes of articulating being and belonging despite not being based primarily on fatherland, family descent, or place of residence.

Demographic Background

In this paper, we identify the socio-economic attributes and attitudes that have influenced house owners in renovating their homes in the past. Our study is based on responses to an online questionnaire survey of 971 house owners living in Kronoberg County in Sweden. Results showed that the interest and willingness of the house owners to perform a renovation varied depending on their demographic background and the age of the house. The latter positively affected past renovations, only when combined with the residence time. Furthermore, the age of house owners strongly and positively affected the probability of performing aesthetic type of renovations, because of a long time of residence in the house. Younger, town living, and highly educated house owners seem to be more concerned regarding saving energy, which motivated them to perform physical renovations on their house. Our results also suggest that income, level of education, and place of residence have an effect on renovation decisions only through their effect on the energy concern of house owners, and a varied effect on renovation decisions, when combined with the time of residence in the house.

This paper considers and contrasts two alternative approaches for capturing the regularities exhibited by age patterns in observed migration rates. The mortality approach is considered first and it is shown how such an approach may be used to infer migration flows from two consecutive place-of-residence-by-place-of-birth census age distributions. The fertility approach is considered next, and techniques for graduating migration age profiles are described. The advantages and disadvantages of both approaches are then briefly assessed.

Миграционный фактор может оказывать различное воздействие на социально-экономическое развитие территорий в зависимости от конкретных условий и сложившихся практик. На примере трех различных субъектов Российской Федерации  – Москвы, Калининградской и Кировской областей  – в статье сделана попытка рассмотреть взаимосвязь миграционной ситуации в регионе и миграционных установок молодого поколения. Анализ специфики миграционных процессов, проведенный на основе результатов ряда экспертных работ и сведений официальной государственной статистики за последние десять лет, позволяет выделить некоторые характерные направления в передвижении населения в каждом из выбранных регионов. В качестве эмпирических данных были взяты материалы массовых опросов школьников и студентов. Текущий срез миграционных намерений учащихся старших классов представлен в контексте региональных особенностей в стратегиях миграции молодежи, что дает возможность оценить потенциальную реализацию их планов в общероссийском масштабе. В целом можно говорить о вероятном сохранении в ближайшие годы сложившихся тенденций миграционного поведения молодежи. Все озвученные респондентами установки  – на смену своего постоянного места жительства либо, напротив, желании связать жизнь со своим настоящим местопребыванием  – соотносятся с данными о реальном перемещении молодых россиян для каждой из территорий. The migration factor can have a different impact on the socio-economic development of territories, depending on the specific conditions and established practices. Using the example of three different subjects of the Russian Federation – Moscow, Kaliningrad and Kirov regions – the article attempts to study the relationship between the migration situation in the region and the migration attitudes of the younger generation. An analysis of the specifics of migration processes, based on the results of a number of expert works and information from official state statistics over the past ten years, suggests some typical directions for the Russian population movement in each of the regions. The empirical data are based on the results of a mass survey of high school and university students. This paper presents an up-to-date cross-section of the migration intentions of high school students in the context of regional aspects of youth migration strategies, which allows for assessing the feasibility of their plans on a national scale. In general, one can talk about the likely preservation of the prevailing trends in the migration behavior of young people in the coming years. All the attitudes reported by the respondents – to change their permanent place of residence or, onthe contrary, to stay within their current place of residence – correlate with the data on the real movements of young Russians for each of the territories.

Robustness Check

Thanks to the construction of large databases such as LINKS and GENLIAS based on Dutch civil certificates, our knowledge of individual demographic behavior in the past has improved significantly. However, the use of such research infrastructures also introduces some potential pitfalls, as these databases do not contain all information available from the original sources. For instance, variables that are available on the original source but lacking in LINKS are the places of residence of the bride and the groom at marriage. A common practice among researchers using LINKS and GENLIAS is therefore to identify migrants by comparing an individual’s birth place with the place of marriage. The place of marriage, however, is not necessarily identical to the place of residence, because couples traditionally contracted their marriage in the bride's or bride's parents' municipality of residence. It is therefore particularly likely that grooms are erroneously considered as migrants even though they had never moved before marriage. In this paper we explore whether this poses a problem to studies using the place of marriage as an equivalent to the place of residence. This will be achieved with the help of the marriage certificates release from the Historical Sample of the Netherlands (HSN), which, unlike LINKS, contains both the place of marriage of the couple and the residence of the bride and groom, and allows us to compare the findings derived from both approaches. The analyses show that identifying migrants based on place of marriage causes indeed a significant overestimation of male migrants, but not of female migrants. We therefore suggest the use of a couple's place of first childbirth as a robustness check to avoid overestimating male migration in the past.

Seasonality Of Births

SummaryFrom 1 January 1981 to 31 December 1982 information on all births to Bedouin Arab women residing in the Negev Desert of Israel showed a previously unreported seasonal pattern. The peak season, November-February, coincided with the period of cool temperatures and the Bedouin Arab cultural seasons of winter and spring. This pattern is different from those of Jewish and Christian groups in the same region, a difference not attributable to religion alone.Sociodemographic factors associated with the peak season of birth include traditional occupations of fathers, multiparae 2+, and traditional place of residence. This pattern has persisted over the past 15 years although it is less apparent among the more recently sedentarized Bedouin Arabs.
