  1. 21. The Historical Origins of the Mortality Gradient : Socioeconomic Inequalities in Adult Mortality over Two Centuries in Sweden

    Författare :Enrico Debiasi; Centrum för ekonomisk demografi; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; socioeconomic status; social class; income; adult cause-specific mortality; Sweden; long-term development;

    Sammanfattning : Mortality differentials by socioeconomic status (SES) are among the most pervasive facts of contemporary demography. However, while the mortality gradient by income, class and education is well-established for the period after 1970, evidence regarding the origins of the gradient is still scarce. LÄS MER

  3. 22. Life histories across time and space : methods for including geographic factors on the micro-level in longitudinal demographic research

    Författare :Finn Hedefalk; Centrum för ekonomisk demografi; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Historical demography, which is the study of human population dynamics in the past, is central for understanding human behaviours and traits, such as fertility, mortality and migration. An important factor in demographic research is the geographic context. LÄS MER

  4. 23. Genetic structure in the North- population connectivity and social organization in the Arctic fox

    Författare :Karin Norén; Anders Angerbjörn; Páll Hersteinsson; Benjamin Sacks; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biology; Biologi; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

    Sammanfattning : Genetic variation is distributed on different spatial and temporal scales, reflecting the ecological and geographical complexity in the habitat. In this thesis, the primary objective was to obtain a comprehensive understanding of the genetic structuring in the Arctic fox (Vulpes lagopus) and to identify the underlying factors forming these structures.

  5. 24. Teachers’ lives in transition : gendered experiences of work and family among primary school teachers in northern Sweden, c. 1860–1940

    Författare :Emil Marklund; Lotta Vikström; Glenn Sandström; Åsa Karlsson Sjögren; Johannes Westberg; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; women teachers; family formation; fertility; social origin; socio-economic status; primary school teachers; life course; gender; professional life; private life; rural; Sweden; historia med utbildningsvetenskaplig inriktning; history of education;

    Sammanfattning : In this thesis, primary school teachers in a coastal area of northern Sweden c. 1860–1940 are studied with the overarching purpose to investigate the link between professional work and private life. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Genetic variation and inference of demographic histories in non-model species

    Författare :Jean-Luc Tison; Dalén Love; Mats Grahn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molekylärgenetik; Molecular Genetics;

    Sammanfattning : Both long-term environmental changes such as those driven by the glacial cycles and more recent anthropogenic impacts have had major effects on the past demography in wild organisms. Within species, these changes are reflected in the amount and distribution of neutral genetic variation. LÄS MER
