Full textThe initial hypothesis of this study was that immigrants' involvement in narrow transnational activities is linked to their weaker integration into Quebec society. To test this hypothesis, a series of interviews was conducted with members of the Dominican community of Montreal. These Dominicans were involved in varying levels of transnational activities within political, economic, and cultural spheres. The interviews were aimed at determining the integration process experienced by the different interviewees.
The results of this study showed, in contrast to the hypothesized predictions, that involvement in transnational activities was not linked to lesser levels of integration. In fact, the Dominicans involved in the most intensive transnational activities revealed a capacity to integrate into the receiving society as easily as other Dominicans, often showing a greater dynamism in their integration. Involvement in intensive transnational activities seems to show a capacity on the part of some immigrants to grow and develop in two universes at the same time, that of the receiving and that of the sending society.

Full textOne of the fundamental challenges in multicultural societies is to strengthen and integrate the migrant population from an intercultural and inclusive perspective. This challenge is especially important when we are dealing with the integration of the children of migrant families. In this research I will analyze the integration processes that Dominican teenagers regrouped by their families in Barcelona are undertaking, particularly in Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera neighborhoods in Ciutad Vella. Taking into consideration integration as a dynamic, bidirectional and interrelational process between welcoming society and immigrants, I will analyze this process through different dimensions such as: structural, psychosocial, social, cultural, identitarian and other related with life perspectives. The results of this research may answer questions like: how the Dominican teenagers are integrating in the welcoming society, what elements are they helping or damaging their integration process, how education can foster the integration of this population and others similar to them. I have used qualitative research methodology and particularly semi-structured interview to collect information. 30 Dominican teenagers participated in the research sharing with me their migratory and integration experiences in Barcelona. I also got the opinions of 36 persons either form the welcoming society and the Dominican community in Barcelona on how they perceive the integration of the teenagers, In the first part of this thesis I expose the theoretical framework in which I analyze the integration of immigrants in multicultural societies and the methodology that I chose for the research. In the second part I present the results of the research based on the fieldwork with the teenagers, the members of the Dominican community and the members of the welcoming society. Then I try to lay the basis for a socio-pedagogic intervention that could help to integrate the children of immigrant populations. Finally I highlight the limitations I had during my research and the possibility of future research.

Full textHigh attrition rates among Latino students have long been identified as a major problem in college. Few attempts have been made to understand the normative developmental experiences among this population. This study, based on a study of lives, a narrative approach, examines the experiences of urban Dominican-American college students. Their strategies for effectively navigating a wide variety of contexts (e.g., school, work, family, and neighborhood) are analyzed, and implications for their educational efforts are examined within a developmental framework. Gender disparities and immigrant processes are also explored. Two part interviews were completed with eleven participants. The first interview was semi-structured and the second was open-ended. Participants were also asked to collect images that represented success. Analysis of the data focused on gathering the following: 1) identifying `master `cultural narratives of Dominican immigrant experiences, especially those relating to school 2) highlighting the reproduction of culture and identity within the narratives 3) emphasizing and revealing strategies and choices that participants were making to gain success and 4) drawing attention to the immigrant experience and its salience in the psychological and developmental processes of this group of college students. The results showed that daily contexts in men's and women's lives appeared to be gendering educational experiences and opportunities for successful school outcomes. Both male and female participants cited challenges about staying in school with roles being influenced by the current social and cultural-historical context. Men's experience was uniquely challenging; their definition of success was contextualized within a framework that offered limited and negative meanings of masculinity. Women's definition of success focused on the search for independence and the desire to have a family. Education was a means of access to these goals. They experienced protection and support within their contexts. As immigrants, all students experienced a consistent negotiation of "self" and identity that led to transformative behaviors in themselves and their contexts. The current research aspires to contribute to understanding the complexity of psychological processes in immigrant groups living in the United States--beyond Dominicans and other Latinos. Of salience, it implies that institutional practices may contribute to the disengagement of young men of color.

Full textResults indicate that income losses will be substantial when complying with soil loss standards without introducing soil conservation practices. Net income reduction of 36% can be expected with a reduction in soil loss by 50%. With the introduction of soil conservation practices, substantial reductions in erosion can be obtained with only a minor reduction in net income. For example, with grass strips, 50% reduction in soil loss can be expected with only a 7% reduction in income.
Analysis of the effects of changes in agricultural policies indicates that restricting
access to credit and changes in tenure from secure land holdings to lack of land titles
does not affect the incentive to conserve soil in the short run. Furthermore, analysis
of effects of changes in agricultural pricing policies indicates that the promotions of
coffee, sweet potatoes, and beans represent the least-costly means of meeting the
twin goals of erosion reduction and income maintenance.

This thesis will examine the DR's choice through the overall framework of regionalization and how that influenced a proliferation of preferential trade agreements throughout the Western Hemisphere. The DR's economy has always been closely linked to the U.S.'s influence and policies, and specific changes in the global economic climate drove both nations to seek strategic partnerships with each other. The DR has had to make major adjustments to take advantage of potential economic opportunities, and this thesis concludes that the DR-CAFTA can be seen as a continuation of those efforts.

Full textLa présente thèse examine le contenu des manuels de sciences humaines utilisés pour l'éducation élémentaire publique en République Dominicaine et analyse la manière dont le discours est utilisé pour construire l'identité « nationale ». Un regard particulier est porté sur les manières par lesquelles les idéologies raciales et culturelles sont déterminées dans les représentations d'identité dominicaine. La raison fondamentale de cette étude est l'évaluation du programme d'étude dominicain qui repose presque entièrement sur l'utilisation de manuels scolaires. Cette évaluation vise à tirer des conclusions quant aux voies par lesquelles les enfants dominicains sont socialisés dans leurs environnements éducatifs. À cette fin, cette recherche qualitative répond aux questions suivantes : Comment les manuels utilisés dans les écoles primaires publiques en République Dominicaine décrivent-ils l'identité dominicaine ? Quelles notions de race et de culture sont incluses dans ces portraits ? Je démontre que les principales notions d'identité trouvées dans les manuels DISESA se composent de la célébration « de mélange de race » identifiant la majorité des dominicains comme mulâtres et de la reconnaissance de la culture espagnole comme le précurseur principal à la société dominicaine.
Donison, Kori S. (Kori Shay) 1981. "Household scale slow sand filtration in the Dominican Republic." Thesis, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/1721.1/28624.
Full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 81-83).
Slow sand filtration is a method of water treatment that has been used for hundreds of years. In the past two decades, there has been resurgence in interest in slow sand filtration, particularly as a low-cost, household-scale method of water treatment. During January 2004, the author traveled to the northwestern Dominican Republic to evaluate the performance of BioSand filters installed over the past two years. BioSand filter performance was evaluated based on flow rate, turbidity removal and total coliform removal in communities surrounding the cities of Mao, Puerto Plata and Dajabon. Filter owners were interviewed about general filter use, water storage methods, filter maintenance practices, and water use. Data analysis revealed that even though the majority of filters were removing large portions of both total coliform and E. coli contamination, no filters met the WHO water quality guideline of less than one CFU/100 ml. Analysis also revealed that at low turbidities, turbidity removal and total coliform removal are not correlated. Examination of flow rate and bacterial removal near Puerto Plata revealed that filters with fast flow rates and intermittent chlorination were observed to have the lowest total coliform removal rates. Analysis of storage data revealed that failure to use safe water storage containers leads to recontamination of filtered water. During Spring of 2004, a laboratory was conducted to examine longer-term thermotolerant coliform and turbidity removal. The study compared removal rates between two BioSand filters, one of which was paired with a geotextile prefilter used in the construction of the Peruvian Table Filter. The study revealed that thermotolerant coliform removal rates by the BioSand filter without
(cont.) the geotextile stabilized after an initial period of lower bacterial removal efficiency. Thermotolerant coliform removal in the BioSand filter with the geotextile prefilter dropped throughout the experiment, suggesting that pairing a BioSand filter with a prefilter is detrimental to filter performance. Combining the results of the survey analysis and data gathered in the Dominican Republic with the results of the laboratory analysis of Spring 2004 suggests that BioSand filter users in the Dominican Republic should continue to use their filters. If possible, BioSand filter use should be combined with post-filtration chlorination to kill the remaining bacteria. The BioSand filter is a valuable and effective household-scale water treatment method for the Dominican Republic.

Full textEsta dissertação apresenta uma reflexão sobre História e ficção a partir da reconstrução do massacre de haitianos, em 1937, na fronteira norte da República Dominicana e da República do Haiti, dois países que formavam a então ilha Hispaniola, quando da chegada de Cristóvão Colombo no Novo Mundo. O corpus ficcional deste trabalho é o romance El Masacre se pasa a pie, do escritor e advogado dominicano Freddy Prestol Castillo, publicado em 1978, na República Dominicana. Nossa hipótese para desenvolver este trabalho foi a de que para reconstruir o genocídio dos haitianos pela ficção, o autor denuncia a ditadura de Rafael Leónidas Trujillo (1930-1961), o Trujillato, focalizando o racismo, o preconceito, a violência e aspectos negativos nutridos na memória coletiva da elite dominicana para sustentar uma rejeição histórica aos haitianos. Utilizamos um referencial teórico que nos permite buscar articulações entre História e ficção no referido romance e para isso, foi necessário recorrer aos fatos históricos que registram as diversas invasões à Hispaniola, a partir dos conceitos de racismo de Memmi (1967) e de memória, de Halbwachs (1990).
This dissertation presents a reflection on history and fiction from the reconstruction of the slaughter of haitians, in 1937, on the northern border of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, two countries that then formed the island of Hispaniola , when the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. The body of this fictional work in the novel The Slaughter passed on foot, the writer and lawyer dominican Freddy Prestol Castillo, published in 1978 in the Dominican Republic. Our hypothesis to develop this work was that to rebuild the haitian genocide in fiction , the author claims the dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo (1930-1961) , the Trujillato , focusing on racism , prejudice , violence and aspects negative nourished in the collective memory of the dominican elite to support a historic rejection of haitians. We use a theoretical framework that allows us to look for links between history and fiction in the aforementioned novel and that it was necessary to seek the historical facts recorded the various invasions of Hispaniola, from the concept of racism Memmi (1967) and memory, Halbwachs (1990).
