This book interprets and explains contemporary population issues from historical and cultural perspectives. These include lowest-low fertility in the Republic of Korea and Taiwan early population aging in China relative to the developmental level and various modes of domestic and international migration in the region. The book shows that divergent fertility decline can be attributed to the family patterns established in the pre-modern era in each country. It also examines the diversity of international migration in Eastern Asian countries today is also understood from the long-term historical view.

This book addresses the problems that are encountered and solutions that have been proposed when we aim to identify people and to reconstruct populations under conditions where information is scarce ambiguous fuzzy and sometimes erroneous. The process from handwritten registers to a reconstructed digitized population consists of three major phases reflected in the three main sections of this book. The first phase involves transcribing and digitizing the data while structuring the information in a meaningful and efficient way. In the second phase records that refer to the same person or group of persons are identified by a process of linkage. In the third and final phase the information on an individual is combined into a reconstruction of their life course. The studies and examples in this book originate from a range of countries each with its own cultural and administrative characteristics and from medieval charters through historical censuses and vital registration to the modern issue of privacy preservation. Despite the diverse places and times addressed they all share the study of fundamental issues when it comes to model reasoning for population reconstruction and the possibilities and limitations of information technology to support this process.It is thus not a single discipline that is involved in such an endeavor. Historians social scientists and linguists represent the humanities through their knowledge of the complexity of the past the limitations of sources and the possible interpretations of information. The availability of big data from digitized archives and the need for complex analyses to identify individuals calls for the involvement of computer scientists. With contributions from all these fields often in direct cooperation this book is at the heart of the digital humanities and will hopefully offer a source of inspiration for future investigations.

This detailed volume focuses on population epigenetics which is of increasing interest to policy makers searching for explanations for complex epidemiological observations and conceptual models on which to base interventions. With a concentration on DNA methylation the emphasis is on the most commonly studied epigenetic phenomenon that is most amenable to further study. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series chapters include introductions to their respective topics lists of the necessary materials and reagents step-by-step readily reproducible laboratory protocols and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical Population Epigenetics: Methods and Protocols aims to aid population researchers in exploiting the latest insights into epigenetics to improve our understanding of the factors that influence human health and longevity.

In einer nahen Zukunft hat die Überbevölkerung die Ressourcen der Erde erschöpft. Natürliche Pflanzen und Tiere gibt es nur noch im Museum zu bestaunen. Im täglichen Leben macht die extreme Luftverschmutzung das Tragen einer Gasmaske unumgänglich. Nahrung gibt es nur als künstliches Surrogat. Als letzte Konsequenz beschließen die Regierungen aller Nationen, für die nächsten drei Jahrzehnte Geburten generell zu verbieten. Auf Zuwiderhandlungen steht die Todesstrafe! Stattdessen komplettieren industriell gefertigte Baby- und Kinderpuppen die Familien. Trotz dieser drakonischen Strafe lässt sich das Liebespaar Russ und Carol McNeill nicht abschrecken und setzt alles daran, Carols Schwangerschaft geheim zu halten. Egal wie hoch der Preis dafür ist...

This volume uses the dynamics of the demographic and geographic distributions of humans to explore biological diversity. It evaluates relationships between human settlement and the population dynamics of both native and non-native species.

Fascinated by the diversity of living organisms humans have always been curious about its origin. Darwin was the first to provide the scholary and persuasive thesis for gradual evolution and speciation under natural selection. Although we now have much information on evolution we still don't understand it in detail. Many questions still remain open due to the complexity and multiplicity of interacting factors. Several approaches mainly arising from population ecology and genetics are presented in this book in order to help understand genetic variation and evolution.

Because the number of options is often limited small island states tend to find it uncommonly difficult to strike a balance between population envi ronment and development. Relatively high population density and small land areas without much in the way of natural resources do not provide the best of circumstances for improving the living conditions of the popu lation especially a fast-growing one. The result is often stunted economic development and environmental stress both on land and offshore. The developments in the island state of Mauritius over the past 30 years however can serve as an inspiration and illustration of how extremely ad verse conditions can be overcome. In the early 1960s Mauritius was trying to cope with rapid population growth extreme poverty and grim economic 2 prospects. Population density was 324 inhabitants per km total fertility was 5.7 and GNP per capita was less than $200. In 1990 the situation in Mauritius was radically different. Although 2 population density had increased to 527 inhabitants per km total fertility had dropped to 2.0 and GNP per capita had increased to $2 310. Economic stagnation had been replaced by steady growth and full employment and environmental problems were being addressed as issues of high priority.
