  • Mortality of Immigrants in Germany 1
    Paper to be presented at European Population Conference 2008, Barcelona Mortality of Immigrants in Germany 1 Martin Kohls 2 Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF), Nürnberg Abstract Several aspects determine the mortality of migrants. At first migrants are on average healthier than non-migrants. This “healthy migrant effect” is due to a self-selection proc- ess, chronically ill or disabled persons are less likely to migrate. Another selection proc- ess (unhealthy remigration effect, salmon bias effect) can be observed in case of remi- gration. These selection processes require a lower mortality of migrants, because only the fittest migrants are observable in the destination country, while the unhealthier groups rather stay in the country of origin. Further arguments are discussed (stress, social status, social integration, acculturation, health transition, biological and genetics aspects, environmental burden), when analyzing the interaction between migration and mortality. Nearly all previous studies determined a lower mortality in migrant populations than in non-migrant populations. But these outcomes may due to a data lack. In Germany mi- grant mortality can hardly be calculated with official statistics, because this data show biases especially in migrant populations. Foreign nationals often fail to deregister at the local registry office when remigrate, that cause to an excessive number of the migrant population stock in Germany. Furthermore the number of deaths of migrants in Ger- many is underestimated, because migrants, who are not deregistered at the local regis- try office but remigrated and died abroad, are not included in the German death statis- tics. So, in case of analyzing immigrant mortality there is a double data lack.

  • The High German of Russian Mennonites in Ontario by Nikolai
    The High German of Russian Mennonites in Ontario by Nikolai Penner A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2009 © Nikolai Penner 2009 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract The main focus of this study is the High German language spoken by Russian Mennonites, one of the many groups of German-speaking immigrants in Canada. Although the primary language of most Russian Mennonites is a Low German variety called Plautdietsch, High German has been widely used in Russian Mennonite communities since the end of the eighteenth century and is perceived as one of their mother tongues. The primary objectives of the study are to investigate: 1) when, with whom, and for what purposes the major languages of Russian Mennonites were used by the members of the second and third migration waves (mid 1920s and 1940-50s respectively) and how the situation has changed today; 2) if there are any differences in spoken High German between representatives of the two groups and what these differences can be attributed to; 3) to what extent the High German of the subjects corresponds to the Standard High German. The primary thesis of this project is that different historical events as well as different social and political conditions witnessed by members of these groups both in Russia (e.g.

    Rethinking the Postwar Era: Soviet Ukrainian Writers Under Late Stalinism, 1945-1949 by Iuliia Kysla A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Department of History and Classics University of Alberta © Iuliia Kysla, 2018 Abstract This dissertation advances the study of late Stalinism, which has until recently been regarded as a bizarre appendage to Stalin’s rule, and aims to answer the question of whether late Stalinism was a rupture with or continuation of its prewar precursor. I analyze the reintegration of Ukrainian writers into the postwar Soviet polity and their adaptation to the new realities following the dramatic upheavals of war. Focusing on two parallel case studies, Lviv and Kyiv, this study explores how the Soviet regime worked with members of the intelligentsia in these two cities after 1945, at a time when both sides were engaged in “identification games.” This dissertation demonstrates that, despite the regime’s obsession with control, there was some room for independent action on the part of Ukrainian writers and other intellectuals. Authors exploited gaps in Soviet discourse to reclaim agency, which they used as a vehicle to promote their own cultural agendas. Unlike the 1930s, when all official writers had to internalize the tropes of Soviet culture, in the postwar years there was some flexibility in an author’s ability to accept or reject the Soviet system. Moreover, this dissertation suggests that Stalin’s postwar cultural policy—unlike the strategies of the 1930s, which relied predominantly on coercive tactics—was defined mainly by discipline by humiliation, which often involved bullying and threatening members of the creative intelligentsia.

  • Occupational Structure in the Polish Territories at the Turn of the 20Th (1895-1900) Century
    Working Papers No. 9/2015 (157) PIOTR KORYŚ MACIEJ TYMIŃSKI Occupational structure in the Polish territories at the turn of the 20th (1895-1900) century Warsaw 2015 Occupational structure in the Polish territories at the turn of the 20th (1895-1900) century PIOTR KORYŚ MACIEJ TYMIŃSKI Faculty of Economic Sciences Faculty of Economic Sciences University of Warsaw University of Warsaw e-mail: [email protected] e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Authors present the occupational structure of Polish lands at the turn of 20th century on the basis of censuses carried out in Germany (1895), Russia (1897) and Austria (1900). Our research provides corrections to the errors of the censuses, to a considerable extent. As a result, we present an occupational structure that allows a more complete the picture of the economic situation in the Polish territories at the end of the 19th century. The conducted research has created an opportunity to partially verify the assumption, which is common in Polish economical historiography, that a technological turning point and an industrial revolution occurred in Polish lands already in the 1870s and 1880s. Revised census data demonstrated that the extent of industrialization in Polish lands was still very limited in 1900.
