Item The Impact of Societal Instability on Demographic Behavior(USSR/Russia: A Case Study)(2017-12) Frantsuz, YuriThe dissertation investigates the impact of sociopolitical instability on fertility. I develop a model linking macro-level sociopolitical instabilities of various types and intensities with their perceptions as uncertainties on the micro-level and further impact on fertility decision-making and outcomes. This model is based on a modified version of the uncertainty reduction theory. I stipulate that higher fertility rates may reflect people’s effort to reduce uncertainty in the periods of higher instability. I test and partially confirm this model by application of an age-period-cohort analysis to fertility data from the Soviet and post-Soviet Russia from 1959 through 1998. The findings lead to certain suggestions in the way of refinement of the uncertainty reduction theory.Item Studies on Soil Fertility and Crop Rotation at the Northeast Experiment Station Duluth, Minnesota 1916 - 1952(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1957-04) Thompson, Mark J.Item Testing Fertility in Bulls(Minnesota Agricultural Experiment Station, 1954-09) Cummings, J.
