Tracking individuals and households: longitudinal features of Danseong household register data

Household registers, which were compiled every three years and contained a variety of demographic information, are invaluable sources with which to investigate family and demographic behaviors of historical populations in Korea, especially during the period of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Linking three sets of household registers that covered the area of Danseong from 1780 to 1786, in this study we examine longitudinal features of Korean household registers. We assess the degree of attrition over six years at both individual and household level, and identify social and demographic characteristics associated with attrition. Our investigation shows a considerable degree of attrition of individuals and households over six years which is significantly associated with the social status of individuals and the household heads. We supplement the analysis of exits with the analysis of new entrances, which shows that in each year of register a substantial number of individuals, comparable to the size of individuals and households lost, were newly added. Those who newly entered the registers are very similar in their characteristics to those who exited the registers. We discuss the implications of our findings for studies that rely on Korean household registers to examine family and demographic behaviors of historical populations in Korea and East Asia.     

Ideological dimensions of the “Balkan Family Pattern” in the first half of the 20th century

This article deals with family ideology and family ritual processes in the Central part of the Balkans, in the mountainous part of the Bulgarian–Serbian border areas, during the second half of the nineteenth and the early twentieth century. Celebration rituals, dedicated to the patron saints of family-kin households (Serbian slava and Bulgarian sluzhba), have been described as an “ideology of patriarchalism” in ethnological and historical literature, based on the cult of predecessors. Ethnographical research in this region has shown the prominent social functions of the ritual cycle that built cohesion in the family-kin community, rather than archaism. Based on historical and ethnological data, and on ethnographic fieldwork in Western Bulgaria and Eastern Serbia, this contribution shows how the Orthodox cycle of celebrations and rituals was practiced in a family-kin environment during the first half of the twentieth century. The analysis focuses on how family rituals built family ideology, which kept its integrative functions even during the decades of socialism.     

特大城市人口规模控制悖论

城镇化是新一届政府的工作重点,在选择大城市还是中小城市作为城镇化的重点上存在控制论和市场论两种观点的分歧。代表主流观点的控制论认为,为了避免大城市病的出现,应该将中小城镇作为重点,而市场论则基于历史经验和城镇化主体自主选择考虑,认为应选择大城市作为城镇化重点。     

推动户籍制度改革 服务中小城镇发展

户籍制度改革已经由社会呼声转变为国家政策,尤其是中小城镇户籍制度改革步伐最大,户籍制度改革必然促进中小城镇在发展上的变化。当前推动户籍制度改革的推力是农村功能减弱,不能再承担经济发展原始积累和就业"蓄水池"的作用;推动户籍制度改革的拉力是中小城镇发展需要,这也是新型城镇化的发展要求;将来中小城镇的发展竞争将由GDP的竞争转变到提升公共服务上来,中小城镇应根据具体情况分轻重缓急,逐步提高当地的公共服务水平。     

转化型入户抢劫的先行为探究

我国的司法解释只明确规定了入户盗窃后为窝藏赃物、抗拒抓捕、毁灭罪证而当场使用暴力或以暴力相威胁的行为可以直接转化为入户抢劫,而对于入户抢夺、诈骗在同等情形下是否可以直接转化为入户抢劫无明确规定。但是,事实上入户抢劫在入户前无需具备抢劫等犯罪目的。入户抢劫的核心要件不在于"入户"行为本身的非法性,而在于行为人利用了入户后形成的环境优势。司法解释对于入户盗窃的转化规定不应是法律拟制而应是注意规定。基于罪刑相适应的原则,入户抢夺、诈骗后为窝藏赃物、抗拒抓捕、毁灭罪证而当场使用暴力或以暴力相威胁的行为可以直接转化为入户抢劫。     

我国夫妻共同债务推定规则之检讨

我国夫妻共同债务推定规则是由婚姻法和司法解释的相关规定组成的,它从目的推定制逐渐发展为合意推定制、利益分享推定制。现行的夫妻共同债务推定规则从保护交易安全出发,注重对债权人利益的保护,非举债一方配偶的合法权益实际上受到了损害。婚姻法司法解释（三）征求意见稿对司法解释（二）的共同债务推定规则作出了一定程度的修正,但仍需有更为明确具体的规定。     

认识与解读户籍制度改革的相关误区——以重庆户籍制度改革为视角

在新形势下,党中央、国务院对重庆市改革发展提出了更高要求。加快重庆市统筹城乡发展,深化户籍制度改革是实施西部大开发战略的需要,是为全国统筹城乡改革提供示范的需要。文章以重庆户籍制度改革为视角,对户籍制度改革中存在的认识误区进行了解读,对改革过程中出现的城市承载力问题、劳动力梯度转移问题、新农村建设问题进行了思考与分析。     

Der Effekt des Haushalts auf die Beteiligungsdisposition

The influence of the primary environment on the willingness to participate in elections or votes is undisputed. However, previous research on this was mainly based on experimental or survey data that exhibit systematic measurement errors (overreporting) or refer only to individual election dates. The aim of this study is therefore to obtain a more precise estimate of the household's basic participation disposition that is unbiased by random or systematic errors. This is possible thanks to official complete survey data on 18 different ballots in about a dozen St. Gallen municipalities. The corresponding analysis shows that the lion's share of individual willingness to participate varies at the household level.
