The bachelor thesis is devoted to the description and evaluation of population changes in the South Bohemian village of Čimelice between 1890 and 1921. These changes have been described on the basis of a set of four population censuses which were taken during the above-mentioned period. The first aim of the thesis is to describe the village population from the point of view of historical demography and to compare it with general development in the Czech lands. The second aim of the thesis is to survey the population, divided according to their occupation or, more precisely, according to their socioeconomic status, through the microhistorical approach. Subsequently, the thesis examines the influence of the First World War on the population of Čimelice in terms of the fallen and of the men serving in the Czechoslovak Legion. In the last chapter of the thesis, the main aspects of the changes in the rural population in the perspective of the examined village have been summarised, and the possibilities for further scientific research have been mentioned.

Neste trabalho buscou-se contribuir para a compreensão da história biogeográfica das florestas da Região Neotropical e, em particular, da Floresta Atlântica a partir de estudos de diversificação inter e intra-específica de grupos de aves. Para investigar a história biogeográfica das florestas da região neotropical foram sequenciados genes mitocondriais (citb, ND2 e ND3) e nucleares (Fib7) de 102 amostras das seis espécies que compõem o gênero Sclerurus, S. mexicanus, S. rufigularis, S. guatemalensis, S. caudacutus, S. albigularis e S. scansor. Por outro lado, para o estudo de diversificação intra Floresta Atlântica, foram utilizadas seqüências dos mesmos marcadores de 86 indiíduos de S. scansor e de 57 de A. leucophthalmus. As análises que envolveram o gênero Sclerurus indicam que as seis espécies que o compõem são reciprocamente monofiléticas e que a diversificação do grupo se deu nos últimos 10 Ma. A origem dos padrões associados às áreas de endemismo do neotrópico, por outro lado, tiveram suas origens durante o Plioceno Superior e Pleistoceno. A congruência verificada na distribuição das linhagens associada à incongruência das relações entre linhagens indicam que histórias evolutivas distintas podem ter dado origem a padrões de distribuição de linhagens similares. Verifica-se, ainda, que populações associadas a diferentes regiões da Amazônia apresentam histórias demográficas distintas. Os estudos filogeográficos e de demografia histórica realizados com Scleurus scansor e Automolus leucophthalmus evidenciam histórias distintas associadas à Floresta Atlântica. Apesar do tempo de divergência entre essas espécies e as linhagens irmãs associadas à Amazônia serem similares, em S. scansor foi verificada marcante estruturação filogeográfica, enquanto em A. leucophthalmus não foi identificado qualquer sinal de estruturação. A partir destes resultados são analisadas as hipóteses biogeográficas propostas para explicar a origem dos padrões de diversidade biológica no Neotropico e, em particular, na Floresta Atlântica. / This work attempts to contribute to the understanding of biogeographic history of the neotropical forest domains, based on studies of inter and intra-specific diversification of birds. For this I sequenced mitochondrial (citb, Nd2 and ND3) and nuclear (Fib7) genes of 102 samples from all Sclerurus species, S. mexicanus, S. rufigularis, S. guatemalensis, S. caudacutus, S. albigularis and S. scansor. For the study of diversification intra Atlantic Forest, I used sequences of the same genes from 86 specimens of S. scansor and 57 of A. leucophthalmus. The analyses involving Sclerurus indicated that the six species are reciprocally monophyletic and that the diversification of the group took place in the last 10 Ma. The origin of the patterns associated with neotropical areas of endemism, on the other hand, is recent, during the Upper Pliocene and Pleistocene. The geographic congruence in lineage distribution associated with incongruity of the relationship between them indicate that distinct evolutionary histories may have shaped similar geographic patterns. Besides, populations associated with distinct regions of the Amazon exhibit different demographic histories. The phylogeographic and historical demographic studies performed with Scleurus scansor and Automolus leucophthalmus show different histories associated with Atlantic Forest. Despite of the congruence on divergence times between these species and their Amazonian sisters, in S. scansor a deep phylogeographic structure was identified, while in A. leucophthalmus no population was observed. From these results I analyzed the biogeographic hypotheses proposed to explain the origins of biodiversity patterns associated to the Neotroical Region and, in particular, to the Atlantic Forest.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo entender como o crescimento econômico paulista a partir da década de 1760, provocado a partir das medidas do Morgado de Mateus, refletiu-se na economia, na população, nos domicílios e na distribuição da riqueza em Santos, o principal porto da capitania de São Paulo. Também buscamos relacionar os grandes escravistas santistas a fim de acompanhar suas atividades econômicas e suas inter-relações. É neste período que houve medidas de monopólio a favor do porto santista, a melhora da estrada da Serra do Mar, com a construção da Calçada de Lorena, e a ampliação do comércio portuário, de abastecimento e exportação, instigado pela expansão da lavoura canavieira no Oeste Paulista. Para mensurar as características santistas, primeiramente o perfil portuário é delineado e, a seguir, comparado com o restante da capitania/província a fim de identificar as suas especificidades. / This thesis has the objective to understand how Sao Paulo economic growth of the 1760s, triggered from the measurements of the Morgado de Mateus, was reflected in the economy, population, households and the distribution of wealth in Santos, the main port of capitania of São Paulo. We also seek to relate the large slaveholders santistas to monitor economic activities and their interrelationships. It was on that moment that were monopoly measures for the port of Santos, the improvement of the road to Serra do Mar, with the construction of the Calçada de Lorena, and expansion of port commerce, supply and export, instigated by the expansion of sugar production in Oeste Paulista. To measure the characteristics of Santos, firstly the port profile is delineated and, then, compared with the rest of capitania/província to identify the specific characteristics.

Em Angra dos Reis, a população local, na primeira metade do século XIX, dedicava-se ao autoconsumo e ao mercado interno. Desenvolveram-se o comércio e os transportes, pois seus portos foram um dos principais meios de escoamento do café do vale do Paraíba fluminense e paulista, dinamizando a vida econômica. Entretanto, ao longo da segunda metade do Oitocentos, instalou-se, gradativamente, um quadro de transformações econômicas e demográficas, resultante do término do tráfico de escravos e da diminuição do movimento portuário em função da chegada da estrada de Ferro D. Pedro II ao vale. Diante desse panorama, analisamos as características e o grau de estabilidade das famílias escravas, entre 1801 e 1888, e de que forma foram atingidos na segunda metade do século XIX. Tais reflexões tiveram como parâmetro os dois núcleos básicos familiares: os formados pelo casal sem ou com filhos e aqueles constituídos por mães solteiras e filhos. As fontes principais utilizadas foram os inventários post-mortem e os registros de batismo e de casamento. Avaliamos, também, temas como, o matrimônio, a maternidade, o intercurso sexual, as famílias extensas, as famílias fraternas e o compadrio. Realizamos um mapeamento econômico, verificando o evolver da estrutura de posse de escravos e os tipos de produções encetados; bem como o perfil demográfico da população livre e cativa. Para isso, manuseamos documentos como, o Jornal do Commércio, o Almanak Laemmert, os recenseamentos de 1840, 1850 e de 1856, o Censo Nacional 1872 e os relatos de viajantes e cronistas. Portanto, com o presente estudo, desejamos contribuir para a produção do conhecimento sobre a escravidão e o litoral sul-fluminense, trazendo à tona a história das famílias cativas / In Angra dos Reis, in the first half of the XIX century, the local population was devoted to the selfconsumption and internal market. The commerc and transportation grew, as its ports were one of the main means of outlet of the coffee from the vleey of the Paraiba river in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, making the economy more dynamic. However, during the second half of XIX century, a panel of economic and demographic transformations was gradually settedresulting from the end of slave-traffic and the decreasing of the port activity due to the arrival of the D. Pedro II Raiboad to the valley. In face of this panorama, we analysed the characteristics and the degree of stability of the slave families between 1801 and 1888 and in which way they were affected in the second half of the XIX century. Such reflexions had as a paramater the two basic nuclei of family: the ones composed of the compe with or without children and those composed of urmarried mothers and their children. Post-mortem inventories and baptism and weddingregisters were the main sources used. We also evaluated themes like the wedding, the motherhood, the sexual intercourse, the big families yhe fraternal families and the baptism, We carried out a map of the economy verifying the evolving of the structure of slaves ownership, the types of productions initiated, as well as the demographic profile of the free and captive populations. For this, we handled docunments like the Jornal do connercio, the Almmanak Laemmert, the 1840, 1850 and 1856 census, the 1872 National Census and the reports of travelers and chroniclers. Therefore, with the present study, we wish to contribute to the production of Knowledge about slavery and the coast in the south osf Rio de Janeiro, bringing the history of the captive families to light

THESIS ABSTRACT The subject of the research - the Early Modern burgher will - is viewed in the thesis from the standpoint of family structures, historical demography and sociotopography. The sample of 968 Jihlava wills from the period 1578-1624 were subjected to statistical analysis. Moreover, from a methodological perspective the nature of this research is similar to micro-historical and prosopographical approaches. The aforementioned theme was compared to conclusions of the literature concerning historical demography and family structures (especially English) as well as foreign sociological and anthropological studies. The results of this research were evaluated from the point of view of the annual number of wills as possible indicators of the chief trends in mortality, and possible connections were traced between the number of children named in the testaments and the inheritance system. Given the numerous marriage contracts concluded by testators, the study also looked into the "marriage market" and the duration of marriages. Other questions discussed in the thesis include, for example, family and household positions, disabled people, gender studies and intergenerational property transfer. Finally, in terms of the sociotopographical study, the houses of sorted testators were located within the framework...

Un effet fondateur survient lorsqu’un petit nombre d’immigrants forment une nouvelle population et qu’ainsi les descendants ont une majorité de gènes provenant de ces quelques ancêtres. L’effet fondateur québécois, qui résulte de l’établissement de quelques milliers d’immigrants français aux XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles, est bien documenté. Mais des effets fondateurs régionaux ont aussi été identifiés. Ce mémoire de maîtrise vise à déterminer si un effet fondateur régional est à l’oeuvre dans la région de Lotbinière (Chaudière-Appalaches), dont le peuplement initial remonte à la fin du XVIIe siècle. Le fichier BALSAC et le Registre de la population du Québec ancien ont permis de constituer deux groupes de descendants, 715 individus mariés à la fin du XVIIIe siècle, et 60 autres mariés à la fin du XXe siècle. Par généalogies ascendantes et descendantes, les fondateurs immigrants et régionaux de la région ont par la suite été identifiés. Les résultats indiquent que l’effet fondateur régional avait encore une forte empreinte chez le groupe de descendants du XVIIIe siècle, mais que l’impact s’atténue en ce qui concerne les descendants contemporains. L’homogénéité démontrée par les coefficients d’apparentement et l’indice de contribution génétique uniforme, le petit nombre de fondateurs régionaux et le fait que 65 % des gènes contemporains étaient déjà introduits en 1800 sont des signes qui pointent vers un effet fondateur régional. Par contre, le nonisolement de la région, la proportion modérée de gènes contemporains introduits par les premiers fondateurs régionaux et les niveaux de consanguinité semblables aux autres régions du centre du Québec, incitent à nuancer cette conclusion. En fait, il y a possiblement deux Lotbinière : le Lotbinière ancien, sur la rive et le Lotbinière nouveau, dans les terres; chacun ayant son pool génique et son historique de peuplement propre. / A founder effect occurs when a small number of immigrants form a new population and thus the descendants carry a majority of genes from these few ancestors. Québec’s founder effect, which resulted from the settlement of a few thousand French immigrants during the 17th and 18th centuries, is well documented. But regional founder effects have also been identified. This master’s thesis aims to determine whether a regional founder effect is at work in the Lotbinière region (Chaudière-Appalaches), where the initial settlement goes back to the 17th century. With the BALSAC database and the Registre de la population du Québec ancien, two groups of descendants have been set up: 715 individuals married during the late eighteenth century, and 60 others married during the late twentieth century. By reconstituting ascending and descending genealogies, immigrant founders and regional founders of the area have been identified. The results indicate that the regional founder effect still had a strong footprint among the group of eighteenth century descendants, but that this impact diminishes for the contemporary descendants. The homogeneity demonstrated by kinship coefficients and the founder’s uniform number, the small number of regional founders and the fact that 65 % of contemporary genes were already introduced in 1800 are signs that point to a regional founder effect. However, the nonisolation of the region, the moderate proportion of contemporary genes introduced by the first regional founders and inbreeding levels which are similar to other regions of central Quebec, suggest a less straightforward conclusion. In fact, there are possibly two Lotbinière: the old Lotbinière, on the river bank, and the new Lotbinière, inland, each one having its own gene pool and settlement history.

Marquée par la mise en place et par le développement graduel d’importantes transformations de type socioéconomique et démographique, la deuxième moitié du 19e siècle constitue le scénario à partir duquel nous analysons et comparons le phénomène de la mobilité sociale intergénérationnelle au Québec et en Ontario, plus précisément dans la période 1852-1881. Grâce à la disponibilité de bases de microdonnées censitaires largement représentatives de la population qui habitait dans chacune de ces deux provinces en 1852 et en 1881 ainsi qu’au développement récent d’une technique de jumelage automatique, nous avons réussi à obtenir un échantillon de 4226 individus jumelés entre les recensements canadiens de 1852 et de 1881. Ces individus sont les garçons âgés de 0 à 15 ans en 1852, qui habitaient majoritairement en milieu rural au Québec ou en Ontario et qui se trouvent dans l’échantillon de 20% du recensement canadien de 1852. Cet échantillon jumelé nous a permis d’observer les caractéristiques de la famille d’origine de ces garçons en 1852 – par exemple, le statut socioprofessionnel du père et la fréquentation scolaire – ainsi que leur propre statut socioprofessionnel (en tant qu’adultes) en 1881. Malgré certains défis posés par la disponibilité et le type de données ainsi que par la procédure de jumelage, cet échantillon illustre bien les changements majeurs qui ont eu lieu durant la période étudiée dans le marché du travail, soit le déclin du groupe des cultivateurs au profit des travailleurs non-manuels et des travailleurs manuels (surtout les qualifiés). De plus, cet échantillon nous a permis d’identifier que malgré le déclin du groupe des cultivateurs entre les pères (en 1852) et les fils (en 1881), l’agriculture aurait continué à être importante durant cette période et aurait même été ouverte à des individus ayant des origines socioprofessionnelles ou socioéconomiques différentes, c'est-à-dire, à des fils de non-cultivateurs. Cette importance soutenue et cette ouverture de l’agriculture semble avoir été plus importante en Ontario qu’au Québec, ce qui pourrait être associé aux différences entre les provinces en ce qui a trait aux caractéristiques et au développement du secteur agricole entre 1852 et 1881. / Marked by the gradual development of important socioeconomic and demographic transformations, the second half of the 19th century constitutes the context of our analyses of the intergenerational social mobility in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec, specially focusing on the period 1852-1881. Taking advantage of the availability of census microdata databases – which are to a great extent representative of the population residing in those two provinces in 1852 and in 1881 – as well as of the development of a recent technique of automatic linkage, we used a sample of 4226 individuals who were linked between the Canadian censuses of 1852 and 1881. Those individuals are boys aged 0 to 15 years in 1852, who lived mainly in a rural area in Ontario or in Quebec and who are included in the 20% Canadian census sample of 1852. From this linked sample we could observe the characteristics of the family of origin in 1852 – e.g. the occupational status of the father and the boy’s school attendance – as well as the subject’s own occupational status as an adult in 1881. Despite some challenges posed by the availability and the type of the data as well as by the linking procedure, this sample illustrates quite well the transformations of the labour market that took place during the period of the study, notably the decline of the occupational group of the farmers in favour of the non-manual and manual skilled workers. Nevertheless, despite the decline in the proportion of farmers among sons (in 1881) compared to their fathers (in 1852), using this linked sample we discovered that agriculture continued to play an important role in economic activity and that this sector was even open to individuals with different occupational or socioeconomic backgrounds, i.e. to sons of non-farmer fathers. The sustained importance and openness of the agricultural sector seems to have been more important in Ontario than in Quebec. This difference could be associated with the contrasts between those two provinces regarding the characteristics and the development of the agricultural sector during the second half of the 19th century.

Utilizando como fuente los libros de defunción del registro civil de Cartagena, se ha extraido una muestra aleatoria de 4040 registros (el 2'5% de todas las defunciones del período). De cada caso se han registrado los datos sociodemográficos (sexo, domicilio, edad, profesión...) que han sido puestos en relación con la causa de defunción. Para alcanzar este objetivo ha sido necesario elaborar un tesauro que permitiera una correcta ordenación y comprensión de las expresiones diagnósticas que informan sobre la causa de muerte. La tasa de mortalidad media fue del 27'5 por mil, con un alto peso de la mortalidad infantil (el 43% de las defunciones se dan en menores de 8 años), infecciosa (33'7%) y respiratoria (22'4%), si bien a lo largo del período se comprueba un desplazamiento hacia edades avanzadas y causas relacionadas con "senilidad" y accidentes vasculares; entre las causas específicas sobresale la tuberculosis (10% de las defunciones), y por su importancia relativa, el paludismo. Con el método de Louis Henry se comprueba una estacionalidad de máximos invernales y mínimos estivales. El método de Dupaquier ha permitido identificar 10 crisis de mortalidad, algunas ya documentadas con anterioridad, como la causada en 1918 y 1919 por la gripe, y en 1885 por el cólera. Esta última se prolonga con dos nuevas crisis en 1887 y 1888 Y viene precedida por una anterior en 1877; otras han sido identificadas y estudiadas en 1897, 1906, 1910 y 1928. / A random sample of 4,040 records (2.5% of all deaths in the period) was obtained from the Death Record at the Register Office in Cartagena (Murcia, Spain). Social and demographic data (sex, address, age, profession, etc) were obtained from each case and related to death cause. In order to reach this objective it was necessary to elaborate a thesaurus that allowed a correct arrangement and understanding of diagnosis terms informing on death cause. Rate of mortality was 27.5 by thousands, with a high percentage of children mortality (43% of deaths occurred below 8 years of age), infectious causes (33.7%) and respiratory diseases (22.4%). A displacement of mortality to middle aged and elderly and to causes related to senility and vascular illnesses was verified throughout the period. Tuberculosis (10% of deaths) and malaria excelled among specific causes of death. Louis Henry's method verifies the maximum rate of mortality in winter and the minimum in summer. The method of Dupaquier allowed us to identify 10 mortality crises, some previously documented -like those in 1918 and 119 by influenza and also in 1885 by cholera. The latter emerged with two new crises in 1887 and 1888, which was preceded by another in 1877. Finally, others have been identified and studied in 1897, 1906, 1910 and 1928.

L'organització del treball artesà de les societats preindustrials en gremis o confraries d'ofici semblava reforçar les tesis que postulaven la rigidesa i la immobilitat de les societats d'Antic Règim. Però, els pocs treballs realitzats a Catalunya sobre les estratègies familiars adoptades pels menestrals han apuntat que la transmissió intergeneracional de l'ofici i les estratègies matrimonials dirigides a casar-se amb membres del mateix entorn professional potser no es donaven d'una manera tan general com la historiografia havia subratllat. Aquestes haurien estat dues de les fórmules seguides per les famílies menestrals a fi de preservar un patrimoni força eteri en un marc econòmic ple d'incerteses i serien les responsables de la imatge de societats estàtiques o poc mòbils. Respondre aquestes dues qüestions és el punt de partida d'aquest treball. Per dur-lo a terme s'han analitzat les estratègies familiars dels menestrals d'un centre urbà català, Mataró, entre els segles XVII i XIX. / La organización del trabajo artesanal de las sociedades preindustriales en gremios o cofradías de oficio parecía reforzar las tesis que postulaban la rigidez y la inmovilidad de las sociedades de Antiguo Régimen. Pero, los pocos trabajos sobre las estrategias familiares seguidas por las familias menestrales basados en Cataluña, han apuntado como la transmisión intergeneracional del oficio y las estrategias matrimoniales dirigidas a casarse con miembros del mismo entorno profesional, quizá no se daban tan extensiblemente como siempre había subrayado la historiografía. Éstas habrían estado dos de las fórmulas seguidas por las familias menestrales para preservar un patrimonio bastante etéreo en un marco económico lleno de incertidumbre y serian las responsables de la imagen de sociedades estáticas o poco móviles. Responder a estas dos preguntas es el punto de partida de este estudio. Para ello, se han analizado las estrategias familiares de los menestrales de un centro urbano catalán, Mataró, entre los siglos XVII y XIX. / The organization of the home-produced work in pre-industrial societies in guilds or brotherhoods seemed to reassert the thesis which postulates the rigidity and immovability of societies during the Old Regime. But the few jobs done in Catalonia about the familiar strategies adopted by artisans, have pointed out that the intergenerational transmission of professions and marriage strategies in order to get married to members from the same professional area was not as usual as the historiography had shown. These strategies had been two of the ways followed by families of artisans in order to preserve an ethereal patrimony in an economical setting full of uncertainties, and they would be the responsible of the static and immovable societies. The aim of this study is to answer these two questions. In order to do so, familiar strategies of artisans from Mataró, an urban Catalan settlement during the XVIIth-XIXth centuries, have been analysed.
