One consequence of resettlement on the missions was exposure to highly contagious old world crowd diseases such as smallpox and measles. Epidemics that occurred about once a generation killed thousands. Despite severe mortality crises such as epidemics, warfare, and famine, the native populations living on the missions recovered. An analysis of the effects of epidemics and demographic patterns shows that the native populations living on the Paraguay and Chiquitos missions survived and retained a unique ethnic identity. A comparative approach that considers demographic patterns among other mission populations place the case study of the Paraguay and Chiquitos missions into context, and show how patterns on the Paraguay and Chiquitos missions differed from other mission populations. The findings challenge generally held assumptions about Native American historical demography.European expansion and indigenous response ;Volume 16.Indians of South AmericaMissionsHistory17th centuryIndians of South AmericaMissionsHistory18th centurySocial changeSouth AmericaHistoryMissionsParaguayHistoryMissionsBoliviaChiquitos (Province)HistorySouth AmericaPopulationHistorySouth AmericaEthnic relationsHistoryParaguayChurch historyChiquitos (Bolivia : Province)Church historyIndians of South AmericaMissionsHistoryIndians of South AmericaMissionsHistorySocial changeHistory.MissionsHistory.MissionsHistory.980/.013Jackson Robert H(Robert Howard),303859MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826586503321Demographic change and ethnic survival among the sedentary populations on the Jesuit mission frontiers of Spanish South America, 1609-18034032344UNINA06259nam 22007695 450 991048429560332120251225205523.03-319-51691-410.1007/978-3-319-51691-2(CKB)3710000001032069(DE-He213)978-3-319-51691-2(MiAaPQ)EBC5579310(MiAaPQ)EBC6286554(Au-PeEL)EBL5579310(OCoLC)970378611(PPN)198340249(EXLCZ)99371000000103206920161226d2017 u| 0engurnn#008mamaatxtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierArtificial Life and Computational Intelligence Third Australasian Conference, ACALCI 2017, Geelong, VIC, Australia, January 31 – February 2, 2017, Proceedings /edited by Markus Wagner, Xiaodong Li, Tim Hendtlass1st ed. 2017.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2017.1 online resource (XIII, 392 p. 122 illus.)Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence,2945-9141 ;101423-319-51690-6 Artificial Life and Computational Intelligence -- Extending the Delaunay Triangulation Based Density Measurement to Many-objective Optimization -- Emotion, Trustworthiness and Altruistic Punishment in a Tragedy of the Commons Social Dilemma -- Equity Option Strategy Discovery and Optimization Using a Memetic Algorithm -- Co-Evolving Line Drawings with Hierarchical Evolution -- Reliability estimation of individual multi-target regression predictions -- Feedback Modulated Attention Within a Predictive Framework -- A Batch Infill Strategy for Computationally Expensive Optimization Problems -- Automatic Clustering and Summarisation of Microblogs: A Multi-Subtopic Phrase Reinforcement Algorithm -- Generation and exploration of architectural form using a composite Cellular Automata -- Wrapper Feature Construction for Figure-ground Image Segmentation Using Genetic Programming -- Surrogate-assisted Multi-swarm Particle Swarm Optimization of Morphing Airfoils -- Applying Dependency Patterns in Causal Discovery of Latent Variable Models -- An Evolutionary Multi-criteria Journey Planning Algorithm for Multi-modal Transportation Networks -- Estimating Passenger Preferences Using Implicit Relevance Feedback for Personalized Journey -- Quantitative Assessment of Hearts Function: A Hybrid Mechanism for Left Ventricles Segmentation from Cine MRI Sequences -- A Hybrid feature selection scheme based on local compactness and global separability for improving roller bearing diagnostic performance -- Reliable Fault Diagnosis of Bearings Using Distance and Density Similarity on an Enhanced k-NN -- Towards Solving TSPN with Arbitrary Neighborhoods: A Hybrid Solution -- Detectable Genetic Algorithms-based techniques for solving Dynamic Optimisation Problem with Unknown Active Variables -- Neighbourhood analysis: a case study on Google Machine Reassignment Problem -- Optimisation Algorithms and Applications -- Multi-Objective Optimisation with Multiple Preferred Regions -- An Adaptive Memetic Algorithm for theArchitecture Optimisation Problem -- Resource Constrained Job Scheduling with Parallel Constraint-based ACO -- An Iterated Local Search with Guided Perturbation for the Heterogeneous Fleet Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows and Three-Dimensional Loading Constraints -- A Memetic Cooperative Co-evolution Model for Large Scale Continuous Optimization -- Investigating the Generality of Genetic Programming based Hyper-heuristic Approach to Dynamic Job Shop Scheduling with Machine Breakdown -- Exploratory Analysis of Clustering Problems Using a Comparison of Particle Swarm Optimization and Differential Evolution -- A PSO-based Reference Point Adaption Method for Genetic Programming Hyper-heuristic in Many-Objective Job Shop Scheduling -- Optimal power allocation of wireless sensor networks with multi-operator based constrained differential evolution -- CEMAB: A Cross-Entropy-based Method for Large-Scale Multi-Armed Bandits -- Binary PSO for Web Service Location-Allocation -- A MOEA/D with Non-uniform Weight Vector Distribution Strategy for Solving the Unit Commitment Problem in Uncertain Environment.This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third Australasian Conference on Artificial Life and Computational Intelligence, ACALCI 2017, held in Geelong, VIC, Australia, in January/February 2017.
