The Conference will open on Sunday 29 October and conclude on Friday 3 November with side meetings on Saturday 28 October and 4 November 2017. The scientific programme includes over 1, 600 scientific communications presented in 240 scientific and plenary sessions and in 62 thematic poster sessions, as well as training sessions, side meetings and exhibitions. The General Assembly of IUSSP members will be held in two meetings. A short meeting of the General Assembly will take place on Monday 30 October, 1:00 to 1:30 pm in Ballroom West where members will designate a committee to review the proposed amendments to the IUSSP Constitution. The main IUSSP General Assembly will take place on Wednesday 1 November at 7 pm in Ballroom West. The South African National Organising Committee (NOC) has organized an Africa Day, which includes seven sessions that were part of the Call for papers, as well as a special invited opening session that will take place on 31 October in Auditorium 2. The Africa Day Plenary on Demographic data challenges for reporting on the Sustainable Development Goals in Africa will take place on 1 November in Auditorium 2. The Africa day sessions focus on issues of importance to Africa and the Southern Africa region covering demographic trends in the region as well as focusing on specific population and policy challenges: achieving the Demographic Dividend, providing education and employment for Africa’s youth, and collecting and analyzing the demographic data required to evaluate progress towards meeting the continent’s development goals. In addition to the Africa Day sessions, there are sessions throughout the week in the regular programme that feature research from the continent. The NOC will organize a gala event for all delegates on the evening of Thursday 2 November. The International Organising Committee (IOC) and the NOC gratefully acknowledge the many people who volunteered their time and expertise to develop this Conference. The IOC is particularly grateful to the theme conveners and organizers of scientific sessions, to the reviewers who assisted in vetting the abstracts received in response to the call for papers, and to the thousands of scholars worldwide who showed an interest in the Conference by submitting paper abstracts and preparing scientific papers and posters. 4 Introduction Statistics South Africa, sous l’égide de la République d’Afrique du sud, accueille le XXVIIIe Congrès international de la population au Centre de conférences internationales du Cap (CTICC) du 29 octobre au 4 novembre 2017. Le Congrès débutera le dimanche 29 octobre 2017 et s’achèvera le vendredi 3 novembre 2017. Des séances parallèles se tiendront les samedi 28 octobre et 4 novembre. Le programme scientifique comprend plus de 1 600 communications réparties dans 240 séances plénières et régulières, et 62 séances posters thématiques, ainsi que des sessions de formation, des réunions parallèles et des stands d’exposition. L’Assemblée générale des membres de l’UIESP se tiendra en deux réunions. Une courte réunion se tiendra le lundi 30 octobre de 13h à 13h30 dans la salle Ballroom West, pour désigner le comité de révision des amendements aux statuts de l’UIESP proposés. L’Assemblée générale principale se tiendra le mercredi 1er novembre à 19h dans la salle Ballroom West. Le Comité national d'organisation (CNO) sud-africain a organisé une Journée Afrique, qui comprend sept séances incluses dans l’appel à communications ainsi qu’une séance invitée d’ouverture, qui se tiendra le 31 octobre dans l’Auditorium 2. La séance plénière de la Journée Afrique « Les défis posés par le besoin de données démographiques pour suivre l'avancement des Objectifs de développement durable en Afrique » se tiendra le 1er novembre dans l’Auditorium 2. L’ensemble de ces séances portent sur des questions cruciales pour l’Afrique, et plus particulièrement l’Afrique australe, couvrant aussi bien les tendances démographiques que les enjeux spécifiques en matière de population et de politiques : réalisation du dividende démographique, accès à l’éducation et à l’emploi pour les jeunes, collecte et analyse des données démographiques nécessaires à l’évaluation des progrès vers les objectifs de développement du continent. En plus des séances spécifiques de la Journée Afrique, nombre de séances dans le programme général seront consacrées tout au long de la semaine à des recherches portant sur le continent africain. Enfin le CNO invite tous les participants au Congrès à un diner de gala le jeudi 2 novembre au soir. Le Comité international d’organisation (CIO) et le CNO remercient chaleureusement toutes les personnes qui ont bénévolement consacré leur temps et leur expertise pour réaliser ce congrès. Le CIO est particulièrement reconnaissant envers les responsables de thèmes, les organisateurs des séances scientifiques, les évaluateurs qui ont procédé à la sélection des résumés soumis en réponse à l’appel à communications ainsi qu’aux milliers de chercheurs qui, de par le monde, ont manifesté leur intérêt pour ce congrès en soumettant des résumés et en préparant des communications scientifiques et des posters. 5 Message from the President of the International Organising Committee / Message du Président du Comité international d’organisation Spurred on by interesting innuendos in Africa’s

    Degeneration Theory in Naturalist Novels of Benito Pérez Galdós

    Degeneration Theory in Naturalist Novels of Benito Pérez Galdós A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Michael Wenley Stannard IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Ofelia Ferrán, Advisor April 2011 © Michael Wenley Stannard 2011 i Acknowledgements I should like to record my sincere thanks to Ana Paula Fereira, the Department of Spanish and Portuguese and the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) for having given me the opportunity to realize a dream of many years. My graduate career in Minnesota has been a life-changing experience, and I would not have missed it for anything. Financial support from the department to study at the Biblioteca Nacional in Madrid, to study Portuguese at the Universidade de Lisboa in Lisbon and to contribute to a conference at Universidad Complutense in Madrid helped significantly in rounding out my graduate student experience, as well as enabling me to collect essential material for this dissertation. I should like to thank my adviser, Ofelia Ferrán, for her help and guidance and to record my additional debt to Toni Dorca and Jaime Hanneken, who listened generously and counseled. To Toni Dorca I owe my introduction to Galdós‘s Naturalist novels which has formed the background of this dissertation. I have seen myself fundamentally as a galdosista at heart ever since. I should like to thank J.B. Shank for allowing me to prevail upon him to direct me in a course of reading that proved invaluable preparation for the study of biological and medical thought in eighteenth and nineteenth century France.

The present study has been done by using webometric methods. The top 20 Nigeria Universities websites were taken for assessment. Each University website was searched in Alexa databank and relevant data including links, pages viewed, speed, bounce percentage, time on site, search percentage, traffic rank, and percentage of Nigerian/foreign users were collected and these data were tabulated and analysed using Microsoft Excel worksheet. The results of this study reveal that Adekunle Ajasin University has the highest number of links and Ladoke Akintola University of Technology with the highest number of average pages viewed by users per day. Covenant University has the highest traffic rank in Nigeria while University of Lagos has the highest traffic rank globally.
