    P. Meyvaert claimed that traces of a first (oral) version of Gregory’s Moralia in Iob,which was preached, were preserved in Isidore’s Sententiae and in quotations by an anonymousauthor from Bec (Paris, BNF lat. 2342, s. XII). In a philological comparison, evidence isprovided that the Anonymus Beccensis does not quote Gregory’s lost first version, but isdependent on the Collationes of Odo of Cluny, who paraphrased Gregory freely. Isidore, too,cannot serve as a witness for Gregory’s first (oral) version because of his paraphrastictechnique. In a text-critical appendix on Greg. M. epist. 1,41: verbis sensibusque tepentibus,the variant repentibus (“with improvised words and thoughts”) is preferred

    Didn’t Plan One But Got One: Unintended and Sooner-Than-Intended Births among Men and Women in Six European Countries

    No full text
    This article examines the characteristics of women and men who got a child despite declaring no such wish up to three years before the pregnancy. We compare these unintended or sooner-than-intended parents with those who got a child as intended and those who, in line with their intentions, did not increase their family size. Using the first and second wave of the Generations and Gender Survey for six low-fertility countries (Austria, Bulgaria, France, Hungary, Italy and Poland) we conduct bivariate analysis and (multinomial) logit models. Our results show that not realising negative fertility intentions is linked more to a particular stage in one’s life course and finding a new partner than to a disadvantaged socio-economic status. Thus, most of the unintended or sooner-than-intended births are probably neither unintended nor sooner-than-intended, but are a result of change in one’s life circumstances between the time of measuring the fertility intentions and their realisatio

    Socioeconomic patterns and determinants of adult mortality due to external-causes in India: Analysis of nationally-representative, population-based survey data

    No full text
    The objective of this study is to analyze the pattern and risk factors of all-cause and external-cause mortality among adults in India. Using a nationally-representative, population-based survey, known as the National Family Health Survey, 2015-2016, we calculate age-specific death rates among adults aged 15-64 for all causes and external causes in the three years before the survey. We estimate external cause-deleted life expectancy by sex and apply logistic regression to investigate the socioeconomic determinants of all-cause and external-cause mortality in India. The male disadvantage in external-cause mortality is higher than in all-cause mortality. For all-cause mortality, caste and household wealth quintile (WQ) are significant predictors for both sexes. For external-cause mortality, Hindu adults experience a higher risk than adults from other religious groups. Moreover, the risk of death from external causes is negatively associated with household WQ. Our study demonstrates that people belonging to lower socioeconomic strata disproportionately carry the burden of death from external causes

    Global improvements in Years of Good Life since 1950. Vienna Yearbook of Population Research|Vienna Yearbook of Population Research 2021|

    Human well-being at the national aggregate level is typically measured by GDPper capita, life expectancy or a composite index such as the HDI. A more recentalternative is the Years of Good Life (YoGL) indicator presented by Lutz et al.(2018; 2021). YoGL represents a refinement of life expectancy in which only thoseperson-years in a life table are counted that are spent free from material (1), physical(2) or cognitive limitations (3), while being subjectively perceived as satisfying (4).In this article, we present the reconstruction of YoGL to 1950 for 140 countries.Since life expectancy – as reported by the UN World Population Prospects in fiveyearlysteps – forms the basis of our reconstruction, the presented dataset is alsoavailable on a five-yearly basis. In addition, like life expectancy, YoGL can beflexibly calculated for different sub-populations. Hence, we present separate YoGLestimates for women and men. Due to a lack of data, only the material dimensioncan be reconstructed based directly on empirical inputs since 1950. The remainingdimensions are modelled based on information from the more recent past
