Abstract:

The Soviet population comprises numerous nationalities, but there are differences of opinion as to the exact number. One author claims that there are 128 to 132 nationalities or ethnic groups living in the Soviet Union. The last official figure was issued by the Central Statistical Administration in instructions for the 1970 census. At this time the Administration, in consultation with numerous scholarly institutions, determined that 122 nationalities or ethnic groups resided in the Soviet Union. Comparable information for the 1979 census is not available in the West.

Abstract:

One the base on the statistical materials of the 1926 census author prepaid tables containing information on the number, ethnic composition and territorial location of the population of Mohyliv and Tulchyn districts as a whole and district centers of Mohyliv and Tulchyn. It has been proven that the Ukrainians composed the absolute majority among the total population of Mohyliv and Tulchyn district and a relative majority among the entire population of Mohyliv and Tulchyn. It was established that the absolute majority of the entire population, Ukrainians and ethnic minorities lived in districts outside the district centers, and the level of urbanization of the population remained rather insignificant. Therefore, the ethnic composition of the population of both of these districts could be quite significant differ from the ethnic composition of the population of both district centers. It was determined that the average of the entire population of Mohyliv and Tulchyn, the level of the share of Jews who mostly lived in cities, and the level of the share of other ethnic minorities was insignificant. Among the rural population of both of these districts, the absolute majority was Ukrainians, and the level territorial representation of ethnic minorities was minimal. That is, they were observed there are noticeable differences in the ethnic composition of the population of the district centers and districts of the East Podillia: Mohylivska and Tulchynska districts. This makes it possible to emphasize the fact that ethnic composition and territorial location of the population in the districts of Eastern Podillia quite noticeably differed in the urban and agrarian settlement environment. After all, the absolute majority of Ukrainians in rural areas among the entire population in rural areas changed to a relative majority among the entire population of urban environment. Instead, the opposite trends were observed in relation to ethnic groups minorities. Their share among the entire population in the agrarian environment was insignificant, however, among the total population in the urban environment, ethnic minorities constituted a much larger share compared to rural areas, where only dispersed residents lived individual representatives of ethnic minorities.

Abstract:

Based on the analysis of statistical materials of the 1926 census, a study of the population and ethnic composition of the population of the Kolontaiv district of the Kharkiv district was conducted. The number and ethnic composition of the population of each of the 10 village councils of this district have been determined. The population in 1926 of each of the 31 settlements of the district, the average population of one village council, one rural settlement and one rural household were determined. It has been proved that the key feature of the population of Kolontaiv district and all its 10 village councils remained its ethnic homogeneity - absolute dominance in the number of Ukrainians against the background of minimal territorial representation of ethnic minorities dispersed.

Abstract:

We examine the impact of ethnic school composition on students’ educational outcomes using Swedish population register data. We add to the literature on the consequences of ethnic school segregation for native and immigrant students by distinguishing social interaction effects from selection and environmental effects through one- and two-way fixed effects models. Our findings demonstrate that native and immigrant students’ grades are relatively unaffected by social interaction effects stemming from the proportion of immigrant schoolmates. However, we find nontrivial effects on their eligibility for upper secondary school. Immigrants’ educational outcomes are weakly positively affected by the proportion of co-ethnics in school.

Abstract:

The ethno-cultural environment of Ukraine, in particular the ethnic structure of the population and its territorial features, is an important topic of Ukrainian ethnology. The materials of censuses are the main sources for studies of the ethnic composition. The results of the 1926 census, the publication of which has been the most complete, are of unique importance for conducting such scientific research. The population of not only areas, towns, districts, but also every rural settlement without exception, as well as the ethnic composition of the population of each village council, has been promulgated. There is currently no separate investigation devoted to the study of the population and ethnic composition of the population of Kharkiv Okruha as a whole, its urban and rural population. The author’s tables have been prepared based on the processing of statistical materials of the 1926 census. In 1926 Ukrainians have constituted an absolute majority in the ethnic population of the Kharkiv Okruha as a whole, among the urban and rural population, among the population of 24 out of 27 districts, as well as among the population of 348 out of 411 village councils. In 1926 most of the territories of Kharkiv region have been characterized by the dominance of Ukrainians in terms of number and ethnic homogeneity of the population with a minimal territorial representation of scattered ethnic minorities. The level of the share of Russians and Jews among the entire population of Kharkiv is noticeable, but the majority of them are migrants. Russians have made up the majority of the population in 3 districts of the okruha. The territories of the former Kharkiv Okruha in the borderlines of 1926 now belong not only to Kharkiv Oblast (established in 1932), but also to Sumy Oblast (founded in 1939). The territory of 12 districts of the former Kharkiv Okruha has been under Russian occupation completely or partially from the end of February to the beginning of September, 2022 and suffered significant human losses and material damage from Russian aggression.

Abstract:

The physical-cultural orientation of the inhabitants of modern world has evolved through centuries from a diverse range of ethnicities, possessing multiple racial traits; which came trickling down its parent sources to impact the physical-cultural elements in the people of today. This process of admixture of different racial components is largely attributed to human migration that happened across the globe since the epoch of human origin. Being a multicultural nation and a home to racial traits of multiple ethnicities, the Indian subcontinent provides an ideal scope for observing, studying and understanding how heterogeneous ethnic elements engaged, and instead of dissolving like the contents in a melting pot, retained certain qualities unique to their origins, in the process of evolution of modern Indians. This study attempts to derive a clear understanding of the concerned subject matter by discussing the observations on racial composition of Indian population, made by eminent Anthropologists like H.H. Risley, B.S. Guha, Freiherr Von Eickstedt and S.S.Sarkar. The objective of this study is to reach a conclusion regarding the socio-cultural and physiological structure associated with the 'land of diversities'.

Abstract:

The state analyzes the role of autonyms in the study of the ethnic-social composition of the population of the Emirate of Bukhara, the Khiva and Kokand khanates, which are found in the "guides" created on the basis of the travel memories of the Tursi Yussi. and officials who visited Central Asia in the 19th century. We know that ethnotoponyms, as a special type of toponyms, reflect the composition of the population of a particular area and the socio-economic processes associated with them, as well as traditions and values. Consideration of ethnotoponyms from the point of view of source studies and historiography on the basis of well-known sources is one of the most important issues of historical toponymy. A comparative analysis of the names of historical places from different sources, the ethnic composition of the population of the corresponding area, demographic processes, and factors that influenced them is also carried out. From this point of view, the scientific problem studied in this article serves to study the ethnic-social structure and strata of the population of the Central Asian khanates according to foreign sources in the region, to fill in some vague gaps not mentioned in local sources. The main purpose of the study is to recognize the initial value of toponyms in the study of the ethnic-social composition of the population of the Emirate of Bukhara, the Khiva and Kokand khanates, to determine their prestige in society, territorial identity, and place in social terms. - business life. Given the fact that ethnotoponyms are a multifaceted historical source, it is also intended to provide a scientific justification for their ability to reflect the social stratification of society. The article uses such research methods as systematic analysis, chronological, problem-chronological, as well as toponymic stratification, toponymic stratification of toponyms, and genetic analysis used in historical research. The study found that the role of travel notes as a common source and ethnotoponyms in them are an additional source in reflecting the ethnic-social composition of the population of Central Asia. The toponyms associated with the ethnic-social structure of the population were classified, and the features of their origin and the theoretical and practical aspects of their study in the socio-economic and ethnic history of the khanate were analyzed.

Abstract:

This article continues the series of the works devoted to the study of the ethnic composition of the Buryat and Khamnigan departments of the 19th century. One of the self-government bodies of indigenous of the Transbaikal in the 19th century was the Urulginskaya Steppe Duma, the main population of which was the Tungus of the Manchu tribe, as they were characterized by the Russian administration. One of the boards of this Duma was the Olovskaya indigenous Council. The department is of particular interest in terms of the ethnic composition of its population and its origin. The ethnic composition of the Urulga Steppe Duma revealed the extensive contacts of the Upper Amur – Shilka population with the vast area of the Transbaikal-Amur subregion, including the territories of Inner Asia, North Asia and Amur region. Different groups of horse and deer Tungus, on the one hand, and various groups of the Mongolian population, including the Khingan Mongols, Daurians and Buryats, on the other hand, took part in its formation. Also more ancient contacts of the Tungus with the Yukagirs were found. The composition of the Urulga Steppe Duma initially included five indigenous authorities. One of them was the Olovskaya indigenous Authority (Uprava). The Khitan, and subsequently Daurian population, which came into close contact with both the Tungus-Manchu tribes and the Bargy-Buryat groups of the population, created a special layer of the population – Khamnigan people. However, in Russian documents the entire population of the Urulga Steppe Duma, a part of which also was the Olovskaya indigenous Authority (Uprava) recorded as Tungus. The ethnic composition of the Olov Khamnigans shows that the population of the upper Amur – Shilka, has incorporated various ethnic elements not only from the Middle Ages, but also from antiquity. The article suggested the authors’ vision of origin of ethnonyms of the population of authority and their development. A number of ethnonyms such as Duligar, Bayagir, Kylteger discovers the presence of the Tungusic and Mongolic strata in the face of Khamnigan-Mongols, Daurs, Buryats. The Mongolic stratum is also represented by the bearers of the ethnonym Üzön, which has analogies in eastern and central Mongolia, among the Selenga Buryats and among the Kipchak tribe, which is part of the Kazakhs of Middle Juz. A detailed map of the settlement of the Olov Khamnigans was compiled, based on the census tables.

Abstract:

The purpose of the article is to determine, based on the analysis of the statistical materials of the 1926 population census, the ethnic composition of village councils and the rural population of Eastern Podillia, namely Vinnytsia, Mogilev, and Tulchyn districts, and to establish the proportionality of the representation of ethnic groups in village councils to their overall share among the rural population. The research methodology is based on a combination of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, deduction) and special-historical (historiographical scientific analysis, structural-systemic) methods with the principles of historicism, objectivity, scientificity, evidence, and the statistical method of research is also involved. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that on the basis of archival materials and the analysis of statistical data of the 1926 census, a comparative analysis of the ethnic composition of the rural population in all three districts of Eastern Podillia was carried out, and on the basis of the obtained statistical data, common features and differences in the ratio of the share of Ukrainians and ethnic minorities were established among the rural population as a whole and members of village councils in Vinnytsia, Mogilev and Tulchyn districts. Conclusions. According to the population census in 1926, the ethnic composition of the rural population and village councils of Vinnytsia, Mogilev and Tulchyn districts had a number of common characteristics. In particular, Ukrainians made up the absolute majority both in village councils and among the rural population, and the indicators in all three districts are almost identical. As for the ethnic minorities living on the territory of Eastern Podillia, their share was insignificant, both among the population and in village councils. As for the ratio between the share of each ethnic group among the rural population and village councils, the data are almost identical, the difference between them is small and fluctuates within the limits of statistical error.

Abstract:

The Russian Federation is located at the junction of various civilizations and cultural and historical regions of the world. In addition, the territory of Russia itself is characterized by a great diversity of cultures and religions. In our country, as in many other countries, citizens enjoy the right to freedom of conscience and religion, and religious affiliation is a personal matter for each citizen. Currently, there is no official registration of the religious population in Russia, therefore statistical information on the religious composition of the population is approximate. Various methods can be used to assess the religious structure of the population, including using the ethnic principle. The close relationship between the ethnic and religious components of cultures has developed throughout the history of mankind and exists to this day in all religions of the world. Therefore, the history of any ethnic group is also the history of its traditional religion. The novelty of the work is the calculation of the current potential confessional structure of the population and the index of potential religious mosaicism at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation based on the results of the All-Russian Population Census held in 2021.

Abstract:

The publication ‘Governance arrangements for NHS Research Ethics Committees’ is clear in its recommendations about the composition of National Health Service research ethics committees in the United Kingdom. It highlights the need for a sufficiently broad range of experience and expertise, balanced age and gender distribution and every effort to be made to recruit members from black and ethnic minority backgrounds, as well as people with disabilities. It was considered that this composition would make it possible for the scientific, clinical and methodological aspects of a research proposal to be reconciled with the welfare of research participants, and with broader ethical implications. Black and other ethnic minorities constitute 7.9 per cent of the UK population. Ideally, in any research ethics committee with a maximum of 18 members, at least one would be a member of the black or other ethnic minority groups. However, this does not appear to be the case; some committees having more than one, while most do not have any. This paper looks at the present position and suggests ways of improving recruitment and retention of members of these groups.

To overcome the problem of nonrandom sorting across neighborhoods, we borrow theoretical insights from the tipping point literature and exploit estimated tipping thresholds as instruments for changes in ethnic population composition. Our results provide little evidence in support of the idea that living in a neighborhood with a higher immigrant share leads to worse outcomes. (JEL I20, J15, J24, R23)

Abstract:

The comparison of the ethnic composition of an intermediate care facility with several Hispanic residents and the general population was hindered by the absence of categorization of ethnicity according to the United States Census. If all Hispanic residents of the facility were white, then 55% of the facility population were white, a proportion comparable to the 58.2% white population of the general population. On the other hand, if all the Hispanic residents were not white, then 27.5% of the facility residents were white. In that case, the proportion of white residents of the facility is much less than in the general population. Therefore, a Demographic Coding Form was developed to capture the essential data to make direct comparisons and contrasts with the general population recorded by the United States Census. Since the United States Census records Hispanic ethnic minority status as a separate category independent from all other ethnic groups, the design of experiments to investigate the possible effects of ethnicity on populations wisely incorporates the administration of a Demographic Coding Form to capture the key ethnic data to permit direct comparison with the general population.

Abstract:

The study of ethno-demographic processes in Ukraine is important in modern Ukrainian ethnology. Statistical materials on the number and ethnic composition of the population, in particular, the 1926 census data, form an important source for researching ethno-demographic processes in the 1920s in the Kyiv region, including the Byshiv district. Since the early 1930s these unique statistical materials have been in ‘special storage’ and are not available for scientists, and a ban on their publication remained in place until the dissolution of the USSR. It is calculated and the tables are prepared on the number and ethnic composition of the population of the Byshiv district after the data of the 1926 and 2001 censuses. Byshiv district, as a separate administrative-territorial unit, has existed from March, 1923 to March, 1959. The territory of the former Byshiv district has been a part of the Makariv district of Kyiv region. In 1926 the Byshiv district has included 20 village districts, and the settlement network consisted of 108 settlements. The Byshiv district has been characterized by the ethnic homogeneity of the population, absolute dominance of Ukrainians on its territory, with a few representatives of ethnic minorities settled dispersedly. Quite a significant reduction of the population of the Byshiv district (by 2.5 times) has taken place during the 1926 and 2001, despite the fact that it is located at a short distance from Kyiv. This decline would have been even more significant if there had been no evacuation of the population from the exclusion zone after the Chernobyl accident to the Byshiv district.

Abstract:

Ethno-demographic and ethno-statistical studies of the population of Serbia according to nationality are based on the census as the most important official source of data, which is held every ten years and provides information on demographic trends, the number and characteristics of all ethnic communities in Serbia, but also provides a database for the adoption of necessary measures population, social, economic, minority and other state policies important for the stable, even and prosperous development of the country. The paper highlights the impact of various factors on national declaration, as well as the buoyancy of this feature, whose subjectivity has influenced large fluctuations in the number of individual ethnic communities, as well as the accuracy and possibility of comparing census results. Changed census methodology, new methodological solutions, criteria, classifications, definitions, often as a result of national ideology, political decisions and social circumstances, had a great immediate impact on the changes in the population dynamics of all, and especially some nationalities. The paper analyzes the national composition of the population of Serbia (without Kosovo and Metohija) according to the data of the last census from 2011, as well as the significant demographic changes that occurred in the period between the two censuses (2011-2022), while looking at the similarities and differences between the regions. of Serbia (Belgrade region, Vojvodina region, Šumadija and Western Serbia region and Southern and Eastern Serbia region). The focus of the research is on the most important factors that influenced the change in the ethnic structure, such as differences in the rates of natural increase and migration balance according to nationality, but also ethnic alternation under the influence of numerous non-demographic, namely political, social, economic, religious, psychological and other factors. The different population dynamics of ethnic communities, i.e. the increase in the number and share of some, while at the same time the decrease in the number of others, determined the direction and intensity of changes and affected the national composition of the population, as well as the process of ethnic homogenization or dispersiveness of individual nationalities, which created and changed everything the ethnic image of Serbia.

Abstract:

ObjectivesIn the absence of robust direct data on ethnic inequalities in COVID-19-related mortality in the UK, we examine the relationship between ethnic composition of an area and rate of mortality in the area.DesignEcological analysis of COVID-19-related mortality rates occurring by 24 April 2020 and ethnic composition of the population. Account is taken of age, population density, area deprivation and pollution.SettingLocal authorities in England.ResultsFor every 1% rise in proportion of the population who are ethnic minority, COVID-19-related deaths increased by 5·12, 95% CI (4·00 to 6·24), per million. This rise is present for each ethnic minority category examined, including the white minority group. The size of this increase is a little reduced in an adjusted model to 4·42, 95% CI (2·24 to 6·60), suggesting that some of the association results from ethnic minority people living in more densely populated, more polluted and more deprived areas.This estimate suggests that the average England COVID-19-related death rate would rise by 25% in a local authority with two times the average number of ethnic minority people.ConclusionsWe find clear evidence that rates of COVID-19-related mortality within a local authority increases as the proportion of the population who are ethnic minority increases. We suggest that this is a consequence of social and economic inequalities driven by entrenched structural and institutional racism and racial discrimination. We argue that these factors should be central to any investigation of ethnic inequalities in COVID-19 outcomes.

The main aim of this article is to analyze the size, distribution, change, growth, trend, pattern and other over all status of population of Nepal of last hundred years (1911 – 2011).Secondary information obtained by author from authentic and reliable different sources and rearranged- calculated, re-tabulated and analyzed and make meaningful and sensible of them. Number of populations are almost 5 fold increased during the (1930 – 2011) 80 years period of time. The population growth rate and doubling times are fluctuation. CDR, CBR, IMR, CMR, MMR are decreasing as increasing of the socio economic development in Nepal. Life expectancy, literacy rate, active age population rate are increasing. The identification of the caste/ethnic groups are rapidly increased, only 60 caste/ethnic groups were identified in 1991, it has increased and reached 100caste/ethnic groups in 2001 and 125 caste/ethnic groups in 2011 census. Population dependency ratio of child is decreasing and increasing of the old age dependency ratio. If old age population growth rate will remaining the same the old age dependency ratio will be increased by 3 fold till 2050. Almost60 percent populations are living in urban duelers. The CBS of Nepal is going to conduct the census in beginning of 2078 BS and expected total population to be more than 31.5 millions.

AbstractObjectiveThis background paper was prepared in response to a request to review the concepts related to measurement of body composition, to discuss laboratory and field methods of assessing body composition and to discuss the practical applications of the methods – how they might be used singly or in combination to provide data for a selected population.DesignThe common laboratory and field methods are described and discussed, with particular attention to the assumptions involved and the applicability of the methods to the different population groups. Most measurements of body composition are made in the field, at the bedside or clinic as opposed to in the laboratory. The laboratory methods have a role to play in their own right, in research into new concepts, models and methods. However, they are particularly important in establishing the accuracy of the field methods.SettingField, bedside and laboratory studies.SubjectsChildren, adults, the elderly, ethnic groups.ResultsLaboratory estimates of body compositions are best performed by multi-component methods or by 2-component methods adjusted for to the populations under investigation. There is a scarcity of data for most of the populations in the world.ConclusionsEnergy requirements based on body weight are an approximation since they do not take into account differences in body composition, which will better determine the true requirements. The measurement of body composition occurs in many branches of biology and medicine. It is used in the assessment of nutritional and growth status and in disease states and their treatment. Energy stores, skeletal muscle and protein content can be determined and changes monitored. In human energetics, body composition is widely used for the standardisation of other variables, such as basal metabolic rate (BMR), in the assessments of ethnic and environmental differences and of variability and adaptation to different levels of nutrition. Choosing a method is very problematic. Users want simple, inexpensive, rapid, safe accurate methods to measure body composition but speed and simplicity come at the expense of accuracy. Recommendations are made for age, sex, and in some cases, fatness and ethnic specific methods.

Abstract:

The subject of this paper are the ethno-demographical changes in the area of Slavonia during the last decade of the twentieth century. Focus is primarily turned to negative influences (direct and indirect) of socio-political changes on the mechanical movement of population. Especially, the influence of war on the movement of Serbian and Slavonic population in general is apostrophized. Leading hypothesis is that the peaceful reintegration of East Slavonia, Srem and Baranja caused less demographic shifts then the military operation 'Flash' in West Slavonia. Used methodology consists of statistical analysis and interpretation of data collected from censuses and other secondary publications that featured data relevant to the subject of this research. The authors show the afore mentioned changes in ethnic composition of the population on several different levels (city level, municipality level and county level) following the modern day administrative distribution of counties in the Republic of Croatia to ensure comparability of two most recent population censuses (1991 - 2001). Contemporary demographic structure of Slavonia is formed by inherited negative trends in population movements from previous periods in history and a considerably strong mechanical drain of autochthonous population and the influx of new one from neighboring countries in the 1990s. Political and territorial changes as well as war conflicts that followed the collapse of the Yugoslav Federation carried with them clear characteristics of ethnic conflict, making the consequences particularly noticeable through selective war mortality, forced and impelled migrations and changes in the ethnic composition of certain areas. Population census in 2001. registered the absolute and relative decrease in population of Serbian nationality in Slavonia, or to be more accurate decrease of the population of Serbian nationality from 167,094 or 17.1% of the total population in 1991, to 78,085 or 8.8% in 2001. It can be concluded that the impaired sex-age structure of the Serbian population, along with the absence of a larger number of returnees of a younger fertile demographical profile from surrounding countries, predominantly from Serbia, will further influence the demographic aging of the observed populations, and therefore the decline of their share in certain areas along with increased ethnic homogenization of parts of Slavonia, i.e. Croatia. Somewhat more favorable demographic structure of the Serbian population is kept in Eastern Slavonia, where there were no mass emigrations. .

Abstract:

The ethno-demographic situation in Kazakhstan has changed dramatically over the past 50 years. These changes determine the trends of further ethno-demographic and urbanization processes in Kazakhstan, thus, their research is of undoubted relevance. The purpose of this research is to explore the changes in the national composition of Kazakhstan’s population and the ratio of urban and rural population over the period from 1970 to 2020. The research concluded that until 1989, Kazakhs were the second most populous people, behind Russians in the first position. Urbanisation processes stagnated in the first years of Kazakhstan’s independence but revived again in the 2010s when Kazakhstan’s urban population increased again. The outflow of European ethnic groups from Kazakhstan to their historical lands in the first years of independence, and the state’s stimulation of repatriation of ethnic Kazakhs were among the main reasons for the change in Kazakhstan’s ethnic composition in the 1990s-2010s.

Abstract:

In the literature, it is argued that the Arab Spring increased the motivation for democracy. According to those who support this idea, the Arab Spring started a conflict between the regimes and the citizens to bring democracy to the country. This expectation has turned into a Civil War in Syria, the conflicts that have been going on since 2011 have caused physical destruction in the country's cities, half of the population has become immigrants, and it has emerged as a result of the emergence of alternative governments to the regime and their taking certain cities and regions under local control. In this study, attention is drawn to the potential of a crisis in the Middle East that causes significant changes in almost every century, and the Arab Spring is considered to be a "trigger" rather than an "influencing". The trend of change triggered by the Arab Spring is the aim of ensuring the federalization of Syria on the scale of cities and regions. This hypothesis is examined in the context of urban forcibly displaced persons (IDP) mobility and the change in the population profiles of their cities.

Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to review the original text and related studies of the “the Household Register of Lelang Commandery,” which was a wooden tablet recording the number of households of the Lelang Commandery. It specifically focused on the issues about the ethnic composition of the population of Lelang Commandery, since the ethnic composition was closely related to the commandery’s governance over the residents. The discussions about the ethnic composition was closely related to the debate over classification criteria for the households listed under Kiho(其戶) in the Register. Accordingly, the paper suggested that the criteria of the households listed under Kiho were an ethnic distinction between Han Chinese and Old Chosŏn’s population. This ethnic distinction in the register reflected active process of Sinicization to the residents of the commandery from the Han Empire, which influenced the number of resident per household. Although there was assuredly intensity difference, Sinicization was applied to the ‘Seven Counties in Yŏngdong,’ which were believed to be the most unstable region for the Han Empire’s governance. As a result, the system of the commandery’s governance remained in this region for a long time, and only those from different ethnicity replaced the original members of this system after the counties transferred into marquisates.

Full text

Abstract:

Territories with a mixed ethnic composition of the population are complex phenomena. Ethnocontact zones belong to the same type of formations. In domestic science, the index of ethnic mosaic proposed by B. M. Ekkel is the main quantitative indicator used in the identification of multicomponent ethno-contact zones. The Eckel index is convenient for displaying on a map, but subsequent ethnogeographical analysis needs additional information that is difficult to map. This shortcoming can be avoided if one moves from multicomponent ethnocontact zones to a cartographic analysis of two-component ethnocontact zones. The aim of the study is to develop a methodology for the cartographic analysis of two-component ethnocontact zones, as well as to test this methodology in studying the dynamics of ethnocontact zones within the Pskov region based on the results of population censuses from 1897 to 1939. As one of the tools for studying two-component ethno-contact zones, the article proposes an “ethnic contact index”, which reflects the probability of meeting representatives of two nationalities in a particular territory. An undoubted advantage of using the ethnic contact index when studying two-component ethno-contact zones is the ability to display the ethnic component with a higher share on the map as a qualitative background. In addition, mapping the change in the ethnic contact index over a certain period may be accompanied by a display of positive or negative dynamics in the number and proportion of representatives of nationalities that make up two-component ethno-contact zones.

Abstract:

Abstract Research showed neighborhood of residence is an important determinant of depressive symptoms. However, the complex effects of neighborhood racial/ethnic composition and individuals’ race/ethnicity on depressive symptoms were not fully explored in previous studies. This study tested whether individuals’ own race/ethnicity moderates the relationship between neighborhood racial/ethnic composition and depressive symptoms. Applying social disorganization theory, this study investigates the relationships between neighborhood racial/ethnic composition (proportion of racial and ethnic minorities), individual race/ethnicity, and depressive symptoms. This study used a merged data from Health and Retirement Study 2016 and the American Community Survey 2014-2018 (N=5,241; all age 50 or older). This study applied a mixed-effects negative binomial regression model. It has four statistical models by race/ethnicity: (a) non-Hispanic Blacks only, (b) Hispanics only, (c) non-Hispanic Whites only, and (d) combined model. Covariates were included two individual-level variables (age and gender) and three census tract-level variables (the proportions of (a) population of income below the poverty level; (b) population of unemployed; (c) population of aged 65 and over). The results showed none of the neighborhood racial/ethnic minority composition was associated with depressive symptoms for the final combined model. The moderation effects of individuals’ race/ethnicity were not significant. Not as a moderator but as the main effect, both non-Hispanic Blacks and Hispanics had higher depressive symptoms, compared to non-Hispanic Whites. Living in neighborhoods with higher poverty rates and females were also related to higher depressive symptoms. This study contributes to explore the subtle nature of depressive symptomatology and race both at individual-level and neighborhood-level.

Abstract:

Micro-level studies using individual and household data have shown that residential location choices are influenced by neighbourhood ethnic composition. Using three conurbation samples in the Netherlands – Amsterdam metropolitan area, Rotterdam-The Hague metropolitan area and the country’s largest conurbation, the ‘Randstad’ urban agglomeration – this paper analyses the evolution of neighbourhood ethnic composition as a social interaction outcome of disaggregated household behaviour. The potential ‘tipping point’ in neighbourhood ethnic composition, beyond which ‘white flight’ (or the departure of native or advantaged households) occurs, is tested. The share in neighbourhood population of native Dutch and Western minority did not exhibit the hypothesised ‘tipping’ behaviour in its growth rate with respect to initial share of non-Western minority. This paper argues that the large social housing sector, centralised tax regime, and strong regulatory role of the state in housing and urban planning, are the main explanatory factors for the relative constancy in Dutch neighbourhood ethnic composition.
