Pathways to Reproduction in Pre-transitional Europe: A Sequential Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper looks at pathways to reproduction in three pre-transitional societies from a sequence perspective. Rather than studying the final transition in a life course process (i.e. first birth) we compare the full sequence from living in the parental home to having a first birth. Three communities in southern Sweden, eastern Belgium and central Italy are studied using longitudinal individual level data. We link the sequencing of the different communities to well-known differences in family systems between Northern, Western and Southern Europe. The analysis clearly shows the three ideal types: the nuclear family system with life cycle service, the nuclear system with limited life cycle service and the patrilocal family system. However, despite the existence of these ideal types there was also considerable internal diversity, especially in the Belgian and Italian communities, while southern Sweden stand out as the area with the most standardized life course. Paper for the session “Rethinking reproductive change in historical and contemporary populations” at the annual meeting of the Social Science History Association, Chicago, IL, November 2010. A previous version was presented at the conference Marriage Patterns, Household Formation and Economic Development, Utrecht University, October 2010.

A new approach to detect Life threatening cardiac arrhythmias using Sequential spectrum of Electrocardiogram signals
This study evaluates the discriminative power of sequential spectrum analysis of the short-term electrocardiogram (ECG) time series in separating normal and subjects with life threatening arrhythmias like, ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation (VT/VF). The raw ECG time series is transformed into a series of binary symbols and the binary occupancy or relative distribution of mono-sequences (i.e. ...

متن کاملA Fuzzy Approach to Sequential Failure Analysis Using Petri nets
In highly competitive industrial market, the concept of failure analysis is an unavoidable fact in complex industrial systems. Reliability of such systems not only depends on the reliability of each element of these systems, but also depends on occurrence of sequence of failures. In this paper, a novel approach to sequential failure analysis is proposed which is based upon fuzzy logic and the c...
متن کاملI-35: Europe: Declining Fertility Despite IVF
Although fertility rates are falling in many countries, Europe is the continent with the lowest. As men and women choose to have fewer children, total fertility rates in Europe have fallen below replacement levels: for a total fertility rate of 1.5, the rate is around 1.7 children per woman for the cohorts born in 1965. This is due to individual decisions arising from the instability of modern ...
