BACKGROUND Recent stalls in fertility decline have been observed in a few countries in sub-Saharan Africa, and so far no plausible common reason has been identified in the literature. This paper develops the hypothesis that these fertility stalls could be associated with stalls in the progress of education among the women of the relevant cohorts, possibly resulting partly from the Structural Ad...

BACKGROUND Maintaining cognitive functioning through midto late-life is relevant for the individual and societal aim of active ageing. Evidence shows considerable stability in individual-level rank-ordering of cognitive functioning, but little attention has been given to cohort performance over the life cycle and macro-level factors that could affect it. OBJECTIVE The main goal of this paper is...

We show how body-centric sensing can be integrated in musical interface to enable more flexible gestural control. We present a barehanded body-centric interaction paradigm where users are able to interact in a spontaneous way through performing gestures. The paradigm employs a wearable camera and see-through display to enable flexible interaction in the 3D space. We designed and implemented a p...

BACKGROUND The influence of religion on demographic behaviors has been extensively studied mainly for Abrahamic religions. Although Buddhism is the world ́s fourth largest religion and is dominant in several Asian nations experiencing very low fertility, the impact of Buddhism on childbearing has received comparatively little research attention. OBJECTIVE This paper draws upon a variety of data ...

THUS FAR, only three species of folliculinids have been recorded for Hawaii: Andrews ( 1944) assigned folliculinids from Kaena Point to Parafolliculina annulata [reassigned by Hadzi (1951) to Halofolliculina annulata (Andrews)]; and Matthews (1953) assigned folliculinids from Waimanalo Creek to Metafolliculina andrewsi Hadzi and those from the Hawaii Marine Laboratory to Lagotia simplex Dons.
