This article investigates how the SPCK, Church of England's major nineteenth-century publishing house, encouraged what it saw as correct participation in church-administered rites passage, by mass production tracts. SPCK's elaborate editorial policy meant that tracts provide a rare glimpse into can be assumed to officially sanctioned voice, giving significance beyond their survival ephemeral re...

Abstract Russian Darwinism developed without Malthus – the struggle for existence. There is a remarkable link connecting understanding of Darwinists ‘natural podbor ’ as ‘fine-tuning’ by nature and Aleksandr Bogdanov’s concept tektological ‘podbor’ (‘assembling’) universal mechanism construction any organization. conception phenomenon ‘organization’ an expedient combination active elements his ...

We consider the linear growth and fragmentation equation ∂ ∂t u(x, t) + ∂ ∂x ( τ(x)u ) + β(x)u = 2 ∫ ∞ x β(y)κ(x, y)u(y, t) dy, with general coefficients τ, β and κ. Under suitable conditions (see [17]), the first eigenvalue represents the asymptotic growth rate of solutions, also called the fitness or Malthus coefficient in population dynamics. This value is of crucial importance in understand...

Six screening methods for the successful detection of significant bacteriuria--electrical impedance (Malthus), automated acridine-orange staining (Autotrak), particle counting (Ramus), bioluminescence, nitrite and leucocyte test strip (BM Nephur), and microscopy--were evaluated. All had excellent predictive values for a negative result (97%-100%) but were less accurate in predicting a positive ...

The future of humans on this tiny planet earth has entered a grim beginning in the midst rapidly growing technological progress. How not, human life whose population is fast not comparable to food as source that grows slowly. This study aims calculate cross point or equilibrium between and using series Thomas Robert Malthus original results its development by Matius Irsan Kasau. data methods us...

Interaksi antara manusia dan lingkungan selalu menjadi pusat perhatian ketika jumlah penduduk melesat tinggi sementara bola dunia tidak bertambah sejengkalpun Faktor pertambahan biang masalah terjadi degradasi lingkungan. Relasi keduanya seringkali dipandang sebagai hubungan yang linier sederhana, namun kenyataan memperlihatkan hal sebaliknya. Hubungan semakin non kompleks menyentuh konsep-kons...

This paper provides a unified growth theory, i.e. a model that explains the very long-run economic and demographic development path of industrialized economies, stretching from the pre-industrial era to the present-day and beyond. Making strict use of Malthus’ (1798) so-called preventive check hypothesis – that fertility rates vary inversely with the price of food – the current study offers a n...

Slide 1 Marx was very critical of Malthus. He said that an abstract law of population did not exist for men (Marx, 1974). All historical modes of production have their own special laws of population which are valid only within their limits. Marx discussed the law of population, applicable to capitalist mode of production in chapter XXV of Capital, entitled, “The General Law of Capitalist Accumu...
