Swain corrects the chi-square overidentification test (i.e., likelihood ratio test of fit) for structural equation models whethr with or without latent variables. The chi-square statistic is asymptotically correct; however, it does not behave as expected in small samples and/or when the model is complex (cf. Herzog, Boomsma, & Reinecke, 2007). Thus, particularly in situations where the ratio of sample size (n) to the number of parameters estimated (p) is relatively small (i.e., the p to n ratio is large), the chi-square test will tend to overreject correctly specified models. To obtain a closer approximation to the distribution of the chi-square statistic, Swain (1975) developed a correction; this scaling factor, which converges to 1 asymptotically, is multiplied with the chi-square statistic. The correction better approximates the chi-square distribution resulting in more appropriate Type 1 reject error rates (see Herzog & Boomsma, 2009; Herzog, et al., 2007).

How people choose to live depends on a variety of social and economic circumstances. Single family dwellings, extended family compounds, and communal apartment blocks are all forms of residential architecture that have ancient roots and occur in every culture. Each form both reflects and affects the living styles of the people who reside there. The double house, which shelters two families in units separated by a wall or floor, balances the convenience of an apartment with the psychological comforts of a home. During the mid to late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the United States, the double house was hugely popular in some cities, such as Minneapolis and Milwaukee, but only a minimal presence in Des Moines

In societies with strong multigenerational links, economic uncertainty results in choosing to stay with one child, sometimes in association with postponement of first births (i.e. Italy) and sometimes in early childbearing (i.e. Bulgaria). The interaction between intergenerational family practices in lowest-low fertility contexts is likely to play a role on differences timing to parenthood. In this paper, we focus on the phenomenon of women who have one child in their early twenties in Bulgaria and do not intend to have a second child. We argue that the key to this process is the persistence of extended multigenerational households in the Bulgarian context and their effect on young couples' fertility decision making. We use semi-structured interview data from the project Fertility Choices in Central and Eastern Europe and ethnographic fieldnotes. The interviews were collected from a sample of 22 couples resident in Sofia and representing different permutations of educational level, marital status and number of children (0 or 1). The four-year ethnographic fieldwork was conducted in both rural and urban Bulgaria between 1997 and 2009. Results suggest that as long as the economic situation remains dire, and young Bulgarians hopes for the future remain cynical, multigenerational households represent the accepted practice of entering into parenthood for young families.

North-African house martins endure greater haemosporidian infection than their European counterparts

Afro-Palearctic migrant species are exposed to parasites at both breeding and over-wintering grounds. The house martin Delichon urbicum is one such migratory species facing high instances of blood parasite infection. In an attempt to determine whether breeding European house martins harbour similar blood parasite communities to populations breeding in North Africa, birds were sampled at their breeding grounds in Switzerland and Algeria. Moreover, haemosporidian prevalence and parasite communities were compared to published data sets on Spanish and Dutch breeding populations. This study furthermore wanted to establish whether co-infection with multiple genera or lineages of parasites had negative effects on host body condition. Breeding house martins caught in Algeria showed a higher prevalence of avian haemosporidian parasites than did European populations. Swiss house martins showed a prevalence comparable to that of Spanish and Dutch populations. There were slight differences in the haemosporidian community between European and North-African populations in terms of composition and abundance of each lineage. Similar to the Dutch house martins, but in contrast to the Spanish population, infection status and number of genera of parasites infecting single hosts did not inFLuence Swiss house martin body condition.

Ce working paper débute par une longue introduction, qui expose les spécificités du contexte institutionnel indonésien. Ensuite, la première partie traite des règles prévues sur l'île de Lombok (kabupaten de Lombok Barat, en Indonésie) pour gérer les usages des forêts et de l'eau potable ainsi que les règles qui visent à protéger le service forestier pour l'eau souterraine. Ensuite, en deuxième partie, deux études de cas montrent de quelle manière ces règles sont mises en oeuvre (ou pas) pour protéger les captages d'eau. L'écart entre les règles prévues et leur utilisation sur le terrain est expliqué, en troisième partie, à l'aide du cadre d'analyse des régimes institutionnels des ressources (RIR). Cette analyse permet de discuter en profondeur les mécanismes institutionnels en oeuvre et les enjeux en présence dans le contexte indonésien.

Chaque année des centaines de capverdiens se dirigent à l’ambassade des États Unis afin de décrocher un visa, pour venir aux États Unis. Peu importe si le visa attribué a une durée limitée. Ils sont tous à la recherche d’une meilleure vie, ils essayeront tout pour réaliser leurs rêves, enfin ils tentent leur chance. Contrairement à ce que l’on pense l’immigration est un processus complexe qui demande beaucoup de courage et de réflexion. Les causes qui poussent les gens à émigrer sont innombrables. Ainsi par exemple, pour un agriculteur la sécheresse pourrait être la raison pour émigrer. En arrivant sur “le champ de bataille”, l’immigrant réalise que l’immigration a des avantages et des inconvénients.
