Contraceptive practice and fertility in Thailand: results of the Third Contraceptive Prevalence Survey.

The Third Contraceptive Prevalence Survey in Thailand was conducted in 1984. Results indicate a continuation of the rapid rise in contraceptive use among married couples that has been taking place over the past 15 years. Prevalence levels are approaching those common in economically advanced countries. Sterilization is now the most common method, although a fairly broad range of other methods is also widely used. Only modest levels of unmet need for contraception for either limiting family size or spacing children now exist. Fertility rates have fallen since the previous survey, done three years earlier, but to a lesser extent than would be expected from the increased use of contraceptives. Family size preferences are concentrated at small family sizes. A comparison between the Buddhist majority and Moslem minority, made possible through a special sample design, reveals substantial differences between the two groups. Contraceptive use is lower and fertility levels and preferences are higher among Moslems than among Buddhists.

Relationships among three Muslim and one Hindu endogamous groups of Madhya Pradesh. I. Genetic distance analysis.

Genetic distances have been estimated among three Muslim groups, the Sunni, Shia and the Bohra, and a Hindu group, the Brahman, from five districts of the centrally located state of Madhya Pradesh in India. The distances are based on five genetic systems, the ABO, MN and Rh blood groups. PIC taste sensitivity and colour blindness. None of the 6 distances among the 4 groups was statistically significant. However, cluster analysis showed that Sunni and Shia form a very close cluster which is successively joined by Brahman and Bohra, the latter having comparatively large distances from all the other groups.

Relationships among three Muslim and one Hindu endogamous groups of Madhya Pradesh. II. Morpho-behavioural distance analysis.

Morpho-behavioural distances between three endogamous Muslim groups (Sunni, Shia and Bohra) and one Hindu group (Brahman) of Madhya Pradesh, separately for males and females, were estimated. All the differences were statistically significant. The male and female distances were combined into a pooled distance. The Bohra group was found to be distant from all the other groups in both males and females. The relationships between the other three were different in the two sexes-Sunni and Shia forming the closest cluster in males and Sunni and Brahman in females. The Sunni were intermediate between the Shia and the Brahman in both sexes. The morpho-behavioural distances were compared with the genetic distances.

Sisters and brothers, lovers and enemies: marriage resistance in southern Kwangtung.

This article examines the structure and content of relationships among members of a sisterhood in Hong Kong. These women, who at the time of the research were members of a Buddhist vegetarian hall, had been participants in what can be termed a marriage resistance movement, that took place in the Pearl River Delta surrounding Canton from approximately 1865 through 1935.
