Full textAbstract:
In the period following the end of World War II, Western European countries have experienced rapid economic growth. In the second half of the fifties, labour shortages emerged, obliging developed countries to have recourse to foreign labour in order to maintain high growth rates. During the sixties, bilateral agreements between European industralised countries (West Germany, France, Sweden, Belgium ... ) and less developed Mediterranean countries (Spain, Portugal, Greece, Yugoslavia, Turkey ... ) produced large-scale migration in Western Europe. The main bulk of Greek emigration has been directed towards West Germany, reaching a peak in 1971, while the reverse flow of returning migrants exceeded emigration from 1974 up to 1981. Data concerning these two flows, from 1960 to 1982, give us the opportunity to test the determinants of both outward and return migration using models based on the Neo-classical, the Keynesian and the Human Capital theories. Under the Neo-classical assumptions about labour and product markets, migration of labour is explained by income differentials prevailing between two regions. The Keynesian model adds unemployment as a cause of migration. Because of the static framework concerning the above models, expectations about future income resulting from migration have been introduced to make the model dynamic. Under the Human Capital theory, migration will occur if the present value of the expected benefits exceeds the present value of the expected costs resulting from migration. Empirical tests of the above model's using OLS or other methods attempting to overcome econometric problems, are presented. Logarithmic forms of emigration equations present the best results. The logarithmic form implicitly assumes that emigration is of a Cobb-Douglas type function. Because of the weaknesses concerning Cobb-Douglas type functions, a translog type emigration function is determined and tests are applied in order to find the best estimation provided by the two functions. Next, we consider migration decisionmaking at the level of an individual who seeks to maximise his welfare in conditions of uncertainty. Introducing utility functions and risk coefficients, the maximisation of welfare yields a stochastic migration function. Furthermore, we examine the migration decision in a binary choice model context. The potential migrant has to decide whether to migrate or not, and an application of the binary logit probability model enables us to estimate the probability that an individual drawn at random from the population will choose to migrate. Finally, we estimate emigration and return migration functions together with employment (or unemployment) and wages functions in a simultaneous equations system in order to avoid simultaneous bias resulting from interdependence between migration and other variables used as explanatory in the previous models.

Tziamalis, Alexander. "Processes of international student migration in the UK : Greek and Chinese students in Sheffield." Thesis, University of Sheffield, 2010. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/15111/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is concerned with student migration to the UK. The research objectives of this study are to investigate the personal, familial and social processes pertaining to international student migration and to contribute to the theorization of migration. To further its research objectives the study adopts a grounded theory approach which allows students to voice the concerns, motives and influences pertaining to their migration actions and intentions. The method of the inquiry is qualitative and is based on individual, in-depth, interviews with Greek and Chinese students at the University of Sheffield. In order to interpret and analyse its findings, this research employs the work of Pierre Bourdieu and the Life-course approach on migration. Further, these two distinct bodies of work are combined into a theoretical framework able to further social scientific understanding of migration decision-making. This study brings forward the concept of an intended migration trajectory as a theoretical tool with the potential to enhance our understanding of the migration process. Student migration is found to be a response to the individual and familial needs and ambitions generated by the context in which agents move. Individual actions and intentions are part of an effort to further needs and ambitions in multiple spheres of activity in the best possible way. Migration is best described as a process in the sense that migration partly alters the context facing individuals and families and so contributes to a partial change in agents' needs, ambitions and, ultimately, migration intentions. Overall, this study accomplishes its objectives to investigate Greek and Chinese student migration to the UK and to further social scientists' theoretical understanding of 21st century migration flows.

Alexandrou, Penelopi. "Hellenic female migration and a Greek Canadian legacy : social networks, cultural continuity and economic development of the women of the Halifax Greek code." Thesis, Kingston University, 2013. http://eprints.kingston.ac.uk/30009/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the dynamic social networks, economic development and cultural continuity of the female members of the diasporic Greek community of Halifax, Nova Scotia. In an effort to address a gap in gendered and regional Greek Canadian community studies, this study utilizes the intersection of gender and place through time for a defined social group, as it investigates the development of diverse social and economic relationships in addition to forms of cultural communication. Using an ethnographic approach, this study attempts to understand the lives and interactions through time, which constitute the social and economic networks and define the identities of the female members of the Halifax Greek community. Approximately forty people, mainly women, who indicated participation or membership in the Halifax Greek community, were recruited for life history interviews, while informal unstructured conversations or interviews were conducted with additional participants during participant observation. The participants ranged in age and represented both migrants and subsequent generations. This approach to fieldwork, conducted intermittently, provided an opportunity to witness and acquire diverse data on various community events and aspects of daily life. Moreover, with ethnographic engagement, the way people, particularly women, negotiated their identities across time and space was considered. The study supports the greater agency of post-World War 11 Greek female migrants in the decision-making process of their migration and rejects their migration as consequential or secondary; their shift from sponsored to sponsors facilitated further migration for co-ethnics of extended kin networks and their status as co-breadwinners was essential to the well-being of the Greek migrant family units. Socioeconomic networks have shifted from highly gendered and ethnic networks, initially established out of necessity to ones defined by individual preferences and needs, which do not discard the significance of kin and ethnic connections in their entirety. Concerns for cultural continuity persist for the dynamic community as they continue to redefine their unique hyphenated Greek-Haligonian identity, much like the Halifax donair delicacy, a variation of a Greek dish, influenced by characteristics of Halifax.

Katartzi, Eugenia. "Narrating identities and educational choices : the case of migrant and Greek young people." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/5987.
Full textAbstract:
The processes of educational decision making and formations of identity lie at the heart of the present thesis that explores the narratives of twenty-three young people with migrant and nonmigrant background. The thesis analyzes the cases of eleven Greek and twelve migrant participants, of Albanian, Georgian, Armenian and Palestinian ethnicities attending two upper secondary Lyceums in Greece, one sub-urban Vocational and one inner-city Comprehensive located in the city of Thessaloniki. The narratives of young people are analyzed as performative acts and as social practices constructed locally and intersubjectively, rather than as expressions of their essentialist realities. The narrative analysis aims more specifically at demonstrating empirically the social conditionings of school choice and the intricate ways that decision-making is cross-cut by and implicated in the processes of identity formation and negotiation. The educational choices these young people are called to make are situated within the broader socioeconomic and discursive milieu and within the structural arrangements of the post-16 institutional landscape of Greece. The issue of youth agency as grappling against the structural limitations of a given milieu, with its cultural particularities is at the backdrop of the present qualitative study. Young people’s identities are conceptualized as being produced, negotiated and contested in a shifting context through the interactions with significant others, namely their peers, teachers and families and through the interplay of identifications, social positions, capitals, transforming individual habituses and the institutional contexts of the two schools. In more detail, the subjectively felt classed, ethnic and gendered positions are analyzed as perceived, invested and discoursively performed by the young participants. Central role is attributed to the notion of habitus as embodying the complex interweaving of dispositions, discourses, collective and individual histories. It is argued that the processes of activation and re-conversion of capitals (economic, social, cultural) in which young people engage, along with the dynamic change of habitus in the face of evolving conditions in the host country, can be a potentially useful conceptual schema for understanding the ways migrant and non-migrant young people experience and make sense of their positioning in social space. The processes of drawing distinctions between perceived others and themselves mediate the ways young people engage in the weaving of their identities through a more or less ascribed, constrained and perpetually negotiated sense of belonging. In addition analytical attention is paid to the parental engagement and in particular the resources and dispositions that young people’s families invest and transmit in relation to their schooling and their academic and occupational future. In this frame the narrated educational choices are embedded in young people’s learner identities and familial histories and are closely linked with their projections and envisioning of the future. To conclude, the decision-making dynamics emerge through a matrix weaved by differing resources, positions and dispositions that grant young people with unequal opportunities for constructing selfnarratives and engaging with school choice.

Antonakakis, Nikolaos, and Alan Collins. "The Impact of Fiscal Austerity on Suicide: On the Empirics of a Modern Greek Tragedy." Elsevier, 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2014.04.019.
Full textAbstract:
Suicide rates in Greece (and other European countries) have been on a remarkable upward trend following the global recession of 2008 and the European sovereign debt crisis of 2009. However, recent investigations of the impact on Greek suicide rates from the 2008 financial crisis have restricted themselves to simple descriptive or correlation analyses. Controlling for various socio-economic effects, this study presents a statistically robust model to explain the influence on realised suicidality of the application of fiscal austerity measures and variations in macroeconomic performance over the period 1968-2011. The responsiveness of suicide to levels of fiscal austerity is established as a means of providing policy guidance on the extent of suicide behaviour associated with different fiscal austerity measures. The results suggest (i) significant age and gender specificity in these effects on suicide rates and that (ii) remittances have suicide-reducing effects on the youth and female population. These empirical regularities potentially offer some guidance on the demographic targeting of suicide prevention measures and the case for 'economic' migration. (authors' abstract)

Le zenith de l'emigration grecque au Canada se date aux premieres annees apres la Deuxieme Guerre Mondiale, quand la situation politique, economique et sociale en Grece combinee avec les regulations etabli par le Canada sur l'emigration ont contribue au mouvement des plusieurs femmes grecques vers ce qui semblait comme un 'meilleur future'. Cette these qui tient comme base les temoignages oraux, examine les fonds des femmes grecques, leurs experiences au Canada, leurs activites et leurs identites transnationales.Bien que plusieurs travaux d'academiciens on analyse la perspective feminine de phenomenes migratoires, peu d'attention est attribue au cas des femmes de l'Europe du Sud (une categorie d'emigrants un favorise) comme les Grecs. En plus, plusieurs travaux ont echoue de creer une analyse profonde et sensitive vers feminite, que pourra surmonter les stereotypes, les prejuges et les preconceptions sur feminite. Cette approche aspire d'introduire une dimension analytique importante, cella du transnationalisme, concernant les roles sociaux, les identites et les activites des femmes emigrants grecques. Finalement les temoignages oraux atteint un role central pour le caractere et la realisation de cette these.

Zinonos-Lee, Alexia. "Migration and community formation : narratives of three generations of women living in a Greek Cypriot diaspora community." Thesis, University of East Anglia, 2014. https://ueaeprints.uea.ac.uk/52681/.
Full textAbstract:
Migration is a global phenomenon and the varied social and individual nature of relocation, has led to cross-disciplinary perspectives of a process, both physical and emotional which forms a significant part of a person’s life. Historically, migration has been largely studied from a male perspective and has not specifically reflected the experiences of women. There has been a move towards recognising the need to study the experiences of female migrants. Cypriot migrants’ experiences, like those of women, have also been relatively neglected, with studies on migrant groups focusing upon more visible, larger groups for example, migrants from the West Indies, Africa and South Asia. Cypriots, along with Italians, Spanish and Portuguese have been overlooked ‘invisible migrants’. This ethnographic study focuses upon the Greek Cypriot community living in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, a unique; small; rather isolated community. Most of its’ members originate in the same village in Cyprus and were initially involved in the service industry. The ethnography involved narrative interviews; a focus group; a virtual ethnography; participant observations; and the collection of documentation and photographic evidence. Drawing upon the theoretical concept of social capital, this thesis contributes to the understanding of the formation, transformation and erosion of this migrant community. It tells the story of how the community first began, how different organisation and institutions came to be and how these are eroding through the fluid processes of ‘bonding’ and ‘bridging’ capital. Findings from the research highlight women’s stories of migration and how they account for the process of migration; how they experience, maintain and challenge community boundaries which relate to feelings of inclusion and exclusion. The traditional role and expectations of women emerged from this research through the women’s stories of control, and this serves to fill a gap in knowledge around the experiences of female migrants living within this unique community.

Petracou, Electra V. "Exploring the social and historical dimensions of migration in the European context with special reference to the Greek case." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1999. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/4312/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines migration as a contemporary social phenomenon. Adopting Marxian dialectics, migration is defined as a form and as a process of social relations. Thus, migration exists as a differentiated but also as an internal part of social totality. This social totality, as a historical result, constitutes the general social framework within which migration is examined. This study of migration starts from the examination of this particular social organisation of social relations. Migration as an international phenomenon is explored through migration policies and flows, alongside with the relationship between national and international contexts. Moreover, the analysis focuses on a new territorial political organisation, the EU, and its interaction with migration. Furthermore, this study explores the ways that migration is constructed in a specific national context, that of the Greek state. Particularly, the interest in on the ways that migration is included in the social and political process in Greek society. Finally, the analysis focuses on people's experience as migrants in Greece, which is examined through structural social characteristics and attitudes, in order to illustrate that migration means a process of being constructed as a 'migrant' depending on both general and specific social contexts.

Pranzatelli, Bridget. "The New Greek Tragedy: Discordance between Greece and the European Union in the Mediterranean Refugee Crisis." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/scripps_theses/1150.
Full textAbstract:
After the onset of the Syrian civil conflict, over one million refugees and asylum seekers landed on Greece’s shores, and were met with chaotic asylum processing, uncoordinated non-governmental organizations, and generally debilitating discordance among all actors responsible for service provisions. (UNHCR, n.d.) Despite a long history of an obligation to burden sharing, the European Union failed to implement cross-regional policies to support Greece. And despite building policies to expedite immigration processing, the SYRIZA-led government in Greece failed to implement substantive improvement to the migratory pathway. Finally, this mismanagement is fatal, and has resulted in migrant isolation, entrapment, and in the worse cases, death.
This research seeks to identify the causes of the persistence of this painful mismanagement of the humanitarian crisis, especially within camps, in Greece. To answer this question, this research will look at two common explanations for the mismanagement of camps: those that blame the Greek federal government and those that blame the European Union. Ultimately, however, this research will argue that it is the relationship between both the Greek state and the EU, marked by tension and discordance, which makes the problem of mismanagement of the crisis so persistent.

Burrell, Katherine. "Moving lives : everyday experiences of nation and migration within the Polish, Greek-Cypriot and Italian populations of Leicester since 1945." Thesis, University of Leicester, 2003. http://hdl.handle.net/2381/4207.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis aims to uncover and explore a series of everyday experiences of migration, a phenomenon which can be both a monumental upheaval and an ordinary activity. The research for this study has been carried out in Leicester, a city recognised for its large and diverse migrant population, orientating around Polish, Greek-Cypriot and Italian immigrants, three relatively small but distinctive migrant groups. Based on evidence collected from 55 oral history/in-depth interviews and supplemented by other sources including the census, local newspapers and several pie-recorded interviews, four overlapping themes are considered. The first studies the migration process itself, highlighting the important contrast between voluntary and involuntary migration and examining the different memories and legacies of migration. While migration has been the pivotal experience in Polish life histories, for example, it has been notably less significant for the Italian and Greek-Cypriot interviewees. Secondly, the national, rather than ethnic, identities of the groups are analysed, demonstrating how national consciousness survives the upheaval of migration to continue through the recognition of national histories, traditional rituals and material culture, and the persistence of national myths and ambiguities. The third theme incorporates the different respondents' memories and experiences of their homelands, focusing especially on the transnational connections that are established with the national territory after migration. Subscriptions to national satellite television channels, for example, have become an important feature in homeland relationships in the past decade. Finally, different experiences of community life in Leicester are studied, considering how 'community' is projected in the interviews, and analysing the shared social and cultural norms and values that underpin community life. Using the individual testimonies, the study highlights the tensions felt between collective ideals and personal autonomy. Overall the thesis seeks to assert the continued importance of national identity in migrants' everyday lives, and the flexibility of collective constructs which allow each respondent to experience migration, nation and community individually.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis uses the evidence for a wide range of phenomena relating to the exile of citizens, by judicial decision or through stasis, to investigate the political cultures of Greek poleis in the period c. 404-146 BC: the fundamental ideas about citizenship which were in circulation in poleis in that period. Political communication in the context of exile phenomena forced citizens to make explicit their fundamental assumptions about the criteria for civic inclusion and exclusion and about the extent and basis of civic obligation. Analysis of surviving evidence for that communication thus offers unique insights into prominent Greek ideas about citizenship. This method is applied, in chapters 1 and 2, to laws and discussions relating to, first, lawful expulsion and exclusion and, second, civic reconciliation and the reintegration of exiles; and, in chapters 3 and 4, to the political rhetoric, organisation and ideas of participants in exclusionary stasis and of exiled citizens. Wherever possible, ancient Greek philosophers’ arguments, rhetoric and assumptions are compared with those of non-philosophers. Study of the four different bodies of evidence suggests that most poleis’ political cultures were distinguished by their extremes, paradoxes, indeterminacies and contradictions. In particular, many poleis’ political cultures included very significant, radical norms of civic voluntarism, encouraging citizens to exercise extensive voluntary initiative in political contexts. Moreover, most poleis political cultures were dominated by two coexisting, radically opposed basic paradigms of the good polis and of good citizenship: these are defined in the introduction and chapter 1 as a ‘unitarian teleological communitarian’ paradigm and a ‘libertarian contractarian’ paradigm. In addition to revealing fundamental ideas of citizenship, some of the exile evidence enables study of the effects of those ideas in practice in this period: citizens’ political choices, claims and behaviour in relevant periods of stress, such as a bout of exclusionary stasis or a spell of political agitation while in exile, represent a well-defined and revealing case-study of the multiple, competing effects of those ideas on political interaction. It is argued that the exile evidence suggests that the same fundamental ideas of citizenship were conducive both to civic stability and flourishing and to destructive civic unrest.

Full textAbstract:
Nous faisons l'hypothèse que l'étude sur le rôle joué par les villes dans la dynamique de rapprochement gréco-turc offre un cadre d'analyse propice à l'étude des dynamiques de types transnationales – aussi bien socio-culturelles, économiques que politiques – et leurs traductions en terme de dynamiques territoriales. Elles permettent de comprendre aussi bien le processus de transnationalisation des territoires sous l'effet de l'internationalisation des villes que le processus de territorialisation du transnational – ou plutôt comment la dynamique transnationale va se traduire spatialement par la création de nouveaux territoires du rapprochement nés de la diplomatie des villes et de son développement. A travers le cas d'étude gréco-turc et les initiatives de rapprochement mises en place entre villes grecques et turques depuis la fin des années 1980, nous essayerons de mettre en évidence dans quelle mesure les dynamiques territoriales créées par cette diplomatie des villes se trouve au croisement d'une nouvelle forme de transnationalisation des territoires à la périphérie de l'Europe mais aussi une forme de résurgence (voire de permanence) d'anciens territoires historiques, qui met à l'épreuve la cohésion territoriale et sociale des territoires nationaux des deux paysWe hypothesize that research on the role of cities in the dynamics of Greek-Turkish rapprochement process (- either on an economical as well as a socio-cultural or political basic -)provides a framework for enabling analysis to study the transnational process and their translation in terms of territorial dynamics. They allow to understand both the process of transnationalization of territories as a result of the internationalization of cities and also the process of territorial regionalization of transnationality. In other terms, we can see how transnational dynamics will that result from the twons' rapprochment's diplomacy can new territories. Through the case of Greek-Turkish rapprochement and initiatives implemented between Greek and Turkish towns since the late 1980s, we will try to highlight this "town's diplomacy" is at the crossroads of a new form of transnationalization of the territories at the borders of Europe, but how it also expressthe resurgence (or even the permance)of old historical territories, which are challenging social and territorial cohesion of the national territories of the two countries

Do, Manh Duc. "Green Cloud - Load Balancing, Load Consolidation using VM Migration." TopSCHOLAR®, 2017. https://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/2059.
Full textAbstract:
Recently, cloud computing is a new trend emerging in computer technology with a massive demand from the clients. To meet all requirements, a lot of cloud data centers have been constructed since 2008 when Amazon published their cloud service. The rapidly growing data center leads to the consumption of a tremendous amount of energy even cloud computing has better improved in the performance and energy consumption, but cloud data centers still absorb an immense amount of energy. To raise company’s income annually, the cloud providers start considering green cloud concepts which gives an idea about how to optimize CPU’s usage while guaranteeing the quality of service. Many cloud providers are paying more attention to both load balancing and load consolidation which are two significant components of a cloud data center.
Load balancing is taken into account as a vital part of managing income demand, improving the cloud system’s performance. Live virtual machine migration is a technique to perform the dynamic load balancing algorithm. To optimize the cloud data center, three issues are considered: First, how does the cloud cluster distribute the virtual machine (VM) requests from clients to all physical machine (PM) when each computer has a different capacity. Second, what is the solution to make CPU’s usage of all PMs to be nearly equal? Third, how to handle two extreme scenarios: rapidly rising CPU’s usage of a PM due to sudden massive workload requiring VM migration immediately and resources expansion to respond to substantial cloud cluster through VM requests. In this chapter, we provide an approach to work with those issues in the implementation and results. The results indicated that the performance of the cloud cluster was improved significantly.
Load consolidation is the reverse process of load balancing which aims to provide sufficient cloud servers to handle the client requests. Based on the advance of live VM migration, cloud data center can consolidate itself without interrupting the cloud service, and superfluous PMs are turned to save mode to reduce the energy consumption. This chapter provides a solution to approach load consolidation including implementation and simulation of cloud servers.

Hoxha, Fatmir. "Fonctions de Green et migration de Kirchhoff par imagerie optique." Pau, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994PAUU3020.
Full textAbstract:
La migration de Kirchhoff est une technique d'imagerie sismique dite intégro-diffractionnelle, car le champ d'onde réfléchi y est traité comme étant une sommation de tous les champs d'onde des diffractions élémentaires. Cette thèse traite de ces deux aspects principaux de la migration de Kirchhoff que l'on va trouver respectivement dans le deuxième et troisième chapitre. La modélisation est basée sur les principes de l'optique géométrique. Dans le cas des couches à vitesse constante, l'optique géométrique permet d'approcher la propagation du front d'onde réel par celle d'une série de fronts d'onde circulaires. L'erreur introduite par cette procédure est donnée à priori et n'excède pas le pas d'échantillonnage temporel. Un autre avantage de l'optique est le calcul explicite des centres de courbure du front d'onde. Ceci permet de calculer facilement l'expansion géométrique, l'élément principal dans l'expression des amplitudes. En ce qui concerne la deuxième partie de cette thèse, nous avons exploité les propriétés géométriques entre l'évènement sismique qui se réfléchit sur une interface et la réponse impulsionnelle d'un point diffractant de cette interface. Le point de contact entre ces évènements est appelé point stationnaire. Basé sur les propriétés de la stationnarité, ce point est déterminé par une mesure de cohérence. Théoriquement, le maximum de cette cohérence détermine le point stationnaire. En réalité, le bruit sismique, la zone de Fresnel ainsi que le croisement entre évènements sismiques introduisent une incertitude spatiale dans la détermination du point stationnaire. L'introduction de cette cohérence permet d'atténuer les effets de bords de la migration de Kirchhoff en faible degré de couverture. Ceci se confirme par les résultats de la migration à offset constant appliquée à des données réelles. Le point stationnaire est lié directement au rayon spéculaire. Lorsque l'ouverture est élevée, les rayons spéculaires calculés sur la section migrée sont les mêmes que les rayons réfléchis. Par contre, en faible ouverture, ce qui se passe souvent lorsque la profondeur augmente, on observe une instabilité due à l'incertitude spatiale de la détermination du point stationnaire. Malgré les difficultés actuelles dans la détermination de ce point, la méthode développée dans cette thèse apparaît comme un outil très intéressant pour l'interprétation des images migrées.

Full textAbstract:
Mestrado em Biologia MarinhaOs sistemas de transição costeira, como estuários e lagunas costeiras, estão entre os ecossistemas aquáticos mais produtivos e valiosos. Com uma grande variedade de habitats que desempenham funções vitais para as espécies que os habitam, tendo, consequentemente, uma enorme importância no funcionamento ecológico desses sistemas. A Ria de Aveiro é a maior laguna costeira de Portugal com 4 canais principais radiando da embocadura. O objetivo deste trabalho foi o estudo de uma das espécies mais características da Ria de Aveiro - o caranguejo verde Carcinus maenas. Os caranguejos inter-litorais têm uma intensa ligação com os processos dos ecossistemas estuarinos, sendo considerados uma key-stone specie na Ria de Aveiro. Um estudo global dos padrões ecológicos desta espécie (uso do habitat, distribuição espacial, estado da sua condição, comportamento gregário e mecanismos de migração de maré) pode contribuir para uma melhor compreensão do seu relacionamento e interação com o ecossistema de que faz parte, fornecendo também informação sobre o estado ecológico da região. Para tal, utilizaram-se nassas como método de amostragem e a colheita de amostras foi realizada mensalmente durante os primeiros 6 meses de um ano. A amostragem foi realizada em 5 tipos de habitat (Sublitoral, Areia, Misto, Zostera e Sapal) em 5 locais diferentes ao longo da laguna. Para estudar a migração de maré desta espécie utilizamos uma câmara de vídeo com a qual gravamos a migração de enchente durante os períodos do dia e da noite num habitat arenoso localizado no sub-estuário de Mira, na Ria de Aveiro. Verificamos que a população de fémeas e machos de caranguejos da Ria de Aveiro procura mais ativamente por alimento em períodos diferentes do ano. Descobrimos que o local e sua proximidade com a entrada da laguna parecem ser fatores importantes para a compreensão das diferentes distribuições espaciais de cada sexo pela Ria. Verificamos que o caranguejo verde apresenta diferenças espaciais e temporais no uso do habitat na Ria de Aveiro. Ao estudar a alometria da população, verificamos que ambos os sexos apresentavam tendências semelhantes de condição ao longo dos meses, com níveis mais baixos durante Março e níveis maiores em Junho, último mês amostrado. Os nossos resultados também sugiram que caranguejos adultos podem formar agregações com outros com tamanhos semelhantes (SD entre 7 mm para fémeas e 8 a 12 mm para machos). Verificamos a presença de grupos de 35 a 45 indivíduos adultos com características semelhantes de tamanho para cada sexo, especialmente evidente nas fémeas. Descobrimos que as migrações de maré durante o dia, cerca de 90 a 120 minutos após a maré baixa, em comparação com a noite, parecem ser realizadas num período mais tardio. A maioria dos caranguejos possuíam uma largura de carapaça de 20-50 mm; nenhum menor que 10 mm foi observado a executar a migração. Constatamos também que o comportamento migratório nessa espécie não parece ser segregado temporalmente por tamanho.
Coastal transition systems, such as estuaries and coastal lagoons, are among the most productive and valuable aquatic ecosystems. They have a great variety of habitats which perform vital functions for the species that inhabit them and that have, consequently, an overall ecologic importance in those systems. Ria de Aveiro is the largest coastal lagoon in Portugal with 4 main channels radiating from a common inlet. The aim of this paper was the study of one of the most conspicuous species present in Ria de Aveiro - the green crab Carcinus maenas. Intertidal crabs have extensive linkage to estuarine ecosystems processes being considered keystone species. An overall understanding of this species ecologic patterns (habitat use, spatial distribution, monthly condition, gregarious behavior and tidal migration mechanisms) may contribute to a better understanding of its interaction with the ecosystem, and, also, increase the comprehension of the ecological status of this lagoon. In order to do so, we used baited hoop nets’ in a monthly sampling programme that encompassed the first 6-month period of a year. The sampling was conducted in 5 different types of habitat (Subtidal, Sand, Mixed, Zostera and Marsh) in 5 different sites along the lagoon. To study the tidal migration of this species, we used an underwater video camera to film the flood migration during the day and night time in a sandy habitat located in Mira’s sub-estuary in Ria de Aveiro. From our study, we found that the female and male population of crabs in Ria de Aveiro search more actively for food during different periods of the year for every site. We found that site and its proximity to the lagoon’s mouth appear to be important factors when comparing sex segregation data. The green crab was found to presents spatial and temporal differences in the use of habitat in Ria de Aveiro. While studying the allometry of the population, we found that both sexes presented similar trends of condition through the months, with lower levels during March and higher levels in June, the last month sampled. Our findings also suggested that adult crabs may form aggregations with others with similar sizes (SD between 7 mm for females and 8 to 12 mm for males) We verified the presence of groups of 35 to 45 adult individuals with similar characteristics of size for each sex, especially evident in females. We found that tidal migrations were performed later in time during the day, around 90 to 120 minutes from low tide, than during night. Most crabs migrating were of 20-50 mm carapace width; none smaller than 10 mm was observed. We also found that the migratory behavior in this species seemed not to be segregated by size.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1915 and 1940, millions of African Americans migrated from the South to cities in the North. “Recovering Green in Bronzeville” examines the ways in which these migrants experienced, perceived, talked about, valued, and shaped these natural and landscaped environments in the interwar years. Taking Chicago as its focal point, this dissertation argues that not only should African Americans be central to narratives of environment and place in the early twentieth century, but also that natural and landscaped environments are central to African American culture. The dissertation’s first part compares and contrasts the environmental resonance of lives left behind in the South with those established in Chicago, particularly with regards to foodways and labor. It asserts that while many African Americans had already become integrated into national industrial networks prior to migration, residence in even the most urban southern city could not have prepared them for Chicago’s densely populated South Side. The dissertation’s second part explores the significance of African American experiences with both urban and rural natural and landscaped environments from roughly 1915 to 1929. It shows how African Americans joined a chorus of late Progressive Era Americans who saw these environments as an antidote to modern city life that produced ill health and delinquency, as well as how race – through the discourses of respectability, uplift, and primitivism – uniquely inflected their approaches to those places. Primarily grounding its analysis in a few specific sites – Chicago’s Washington Park; Idlewild, an African American resort in rural Michigan; and Camp Wabash, a YMCA youth camp in rural Michigan – it also reveals black Chicagoans as a mobile population that regularly accessed the rural North. The dissertation’s third part considers how African Americans’ connections to these same environments evolved during the Depression, adding an analysis of segregated African American Civilian Conservation Corps companies which, with the labor of black Chicagoans, radically altered the landscapes of rural Illinois and Michigan. On the whole, African Americans focused on building communities in natural and landscaped environments separate from whites in a cultural context defined by widespread poverty, New Deal-era politics and agencies, increasing segregation, and diminished migration.

Les principales populations étudiées sont les populations grecque, musulmane, bulgare, population macédonienne orthodoxe de langue slave, juive, valaque, albanaise (selon les acceptions courantes qui seront définies). Cette évolution sur un siècle se décompose en cinq périodes, chacune étant liée à un ou plusieurs événements qui ont provoqué des migrations. Les causes, la modification de la composition des populations, les problèmes en découlant ainsi que des cartes et des statistiques sont présentées. Une synthèse permet de tirer des conclusions sur l'évolution de la population de la Macédoine et les problèmes associés à l'intégration des différentes minorités.

Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de thèse entend prendre en compte l'analyse d'un groupe humain évoluant dans un cadre géographique trop longtemps délaissé par l'historiographie et pour une période chronologique élargie par rapport à la tradition consacrée. Les Grecs, qui quittent leurs cadres de vie originels sous l'effet de causes variées (exils suite à la conquête ottomane intérêts économiques, humanistes ou religieux) entre le début du XVe siècle et la fin du XVI" siècle, se dirigent e majorité vers la Péninsule italienne. Certains n'y effectuent qu'un passage quand d'autres décident de s'implante durablement. Or, la chaîne montagneuse des Alpes a semble-t-il fait office de barrière infranchissable pour les Grecs aux yeux de nombre d'historiens. Or, les Grecs se déplacent hors d'Italie, quoiqu'en nombre très restreint : comme en Italie certains ne restent pas et d'autres s'installent. Leur étude révèle des logiques et des comportements originaux par rapport à ce qu'on observe plus au sud (comme l'organisation grecque en milieu urbain). La reprise de toute la documentation disponible mène à l'étude de trois axes majeurs : la construction d'une prosopographie grecque au nord des Alpes l'analyse des comportements sociaux des Grecs entre eux et avec les locaux ; une analyse fine des textes occidentaux que cherchent à comprendre, expliquer et verbaliser l'apparition de populations largement mal connues, souvent fantasmée et fréquemment décrites en des termes qui diffèrent de la vision personnelle que les Grecs peuvent avoir d'eux-mêmes. Toute l'analyse mène donc à une nouvelle approche de la fabrique des identités grecquesThe aim of this work is about studying mechanisms of identities' creation. Indeed, The Greeks are people who were leaded to leave Greece because of political (the rise of the Turks), economics (some are merchant) or religious reasons (some became Catholics since the council of Florence in 1439). For these reasons, the Greeks came first to Italy. Few of them decided to follow their path to Northern Europe, towards England, Burgundian States and France. Of course, they were only a handful of them, but we tried to understand who were they and what was their purpose. First we determined what were their number their qualities, their activities and their intentions. Secondly, we tried to evaluate the Greeks as strangers or as members diasporic groups like the historiography traditionally qualify the m. We brought to light that the Greeks couldn't be understood as rigid societies which were never changing: sometimes they were received as strangers and excluded from western societies sometimes not. A Greek could change during his life : he could be a poor and foreigner migrant during a certain period an then become a rich merchant integrated to a western society few years later. The third part of our work was to understand t meaning of the word 'Greek' which is often applied in documents: did the word 'Greek' get the same meaning in England in France, during the early fifteenth century or the end of the sixteenth century? Of course, not. We explained the documentation built a stereotypical speech about the Greeks, about what they were supposed to be, to eat, to wear, to spear or to pray .

The centrality of the thesis is the impact upon the individual Greek migrant who chose to leave his place of birth by emigrating, repatriating, and subsequently re-emigrating, and how the surreptitious nature of acculturation alters perceptions and thoughts. The causes of such migratory translocations will be analyzed within the sociocultural and historicoeconomic conditions that appertained at the time the decisions were taken to deracinate oneself. The study will provide an analysis of diachronic Hellenic migration and Australian immigration policies (since its inception as a federated state). There will also be an analysis of Australia�s diachronic and dedicated immigration control mechanisms since federation, its various post-immigration integration policies of immigrants, the mass immigration program activated in the post-WWII period, and the adoption and incorporation of multiculturalism as the guiding force in migrant selection and integration. Australia�s history, its cultural inheritance, its socioeconomic development, and its attraction as a receiving country of immigrants are analyzed, as are Australia�s xenophobia and racism at its inception, and how these twin social factors influenced its immigration program. The study examines limitations placed upon social intercourse, employment opportunities, and other hindrances to Greek (and other non-British migrants) immigrants because of Australia�s adoption of restrictive, racially-based immigration policies. The study focuses upon the under-development of Hellas in the first half of the twentieth century, its high unemployment and under-employment rates, and the multiple other reasons, aside form unemployment, which forced thousands of Hellenes to seek an alternative (for a better life) through internal or external migration. Particular emphasis will be placed upon historic occasions in Greece�s history and the influence of foreign powers upon internal Greek politics. The motivations for each distinct stage of translocation, in the lives of the respondents, will be examined within the ambit of social, cultural, economic, and historical context, which will place emphasis on the socioeconomic development of Hellas, the development of Hellenic Diaspora, Australia�s development as a receiving immigrant country, and the effects of acculturation and nostalgia upon first-generation Greek-Australians. Given that the thesis is based upon personal recollections and detailed information that span decades of the respondents� lives, the thesis is divided into four parts for greater clarity and comprehension: the first examines respondents� lives in region of birth, their families� economic, educational, and social environment, scholastic achievements by respondents, employment status, future prospects, religiosity, hopes and aspirations, and reasons for seeking to migrate. The second part examines respondents� lives in Australia, within the contextuality of accommodation, employment, family creation, social adaptation, language acquisition, attitude towards unionism and religion, expectations about Australia, and reasons for repatriating. The third part analyzes repatriation and life in Greece through resettlement, accommodation, children�s schooling and adaptation, relatives� and friends� attitude, disappointments, and longing for things Australian, while it also examines re-emigratory causes and the disillusionment suffered through repatriation. The final part assesses resettlement in Australia, and all associated social, economic, and environmental aspects, as well as respondents� children�s readaptation to different lifestyle and educational system. The thesis concludes with recommendations for possible further studies associated with the thesis� nature.

Full textAbstract:
Bien des sources chrétiennes relayées par des études des XIX et XXe siècles considèrent la domination des Lusignan en Chypre comme la manifestation d’un double affrontement interconfessionnel. Les rois latins auraient fait de l’île un refuge face à l’expansion de l’Islam avant d’avilir les autochtones Grecs en s’appuyant sur des « réfugiés conquérants », à savoir les Francs et leurs alliés chrétiens orientaux chassés du Proche-Orient. Mais à l’aune de l’écheveau migratoire de la Méditerranée orientale, sauf à exagérer l’impact de l’affrontement entre croisade et jihad, l’ampleur et la nature des migrations affectant Chypre entre 1192 et 1473 ne permettent pas de caractériser l’île par la notion de refuge chrétien: dans la continuité de migrations pluriséculaires Chypre demeure une terre d’accueil façonnée par des dynamiques réticulaires souvent étrangères aux logiques de confrontations interconfessionnelles. Le rôle de Chypre comme île refuge se lit mieux dans sa dimension de conservatoire des nations, lequel s’affirme au même rythme que s’érige une identité chypriote. La reconnaissance officielle de la singularité de chaque communauté peut parfois hiérarchiser la société au profit des seulsLatins : elle n’en fonde pas moins une organisation insulaire consensuelle, car en revêtant un tour intercommunautaire le débat social et identitaire prémunit des dynamiques assimilatrices et favorise l’intégration progressive de tous les Chypriotes aux affaires du royaume. L’île s’impose alors comme un refuge des cultures où une hyper-identité chypriote coiffe autant d’hypo-identités que Chypre compte de nations, permettant à tous les Kypriotes de vivre ensemble sans se confondreMany christian sources relieved by studies of the XIX and XXth centuries consider the Lusignan rule over Cyprus as the expression of a double interconfessional confrontation. Latin kings would have turned the island into a refuge in front of the expansion of the Islam before degrading the Greek natives by leaning on “conquering refugees”, namely Franks and theireastern christian allies, forced to flee the Middle East. But compared with the migratory hank of the oriental Mediterranean Sea, unless overstating the impact of the confrontation between crusade and jihad, the scale and the nature of the migrations regarding Cyprus between 1192 and 1473 do not allow to characterize the island by the notion of christian refuge: in the continuity of plurisecular migrations Cyprus remains a land of welcome shaped by reticular dynamics often extraneous to interconfessional confrontations. The role of Cyprus as refuge island is clearer in its dimension of nations conservatory, which asserts itself with the same rhythm as sets up itself a Cypriot identity. The official recognition of the singularity of every community can sometimes organize into a hierarchy the society for the benefit of the Latins only ones: but it founds a consensual island organization, because by taking on an intercommunity turn, the social and identity debate protects against assimilatrices dynamics and favours the progressive integration of all the Cypriots into the kingdom’s affairs. The island then stands out as a refuge of the cultures where a chypriote hyper-identity heads up so manyhypo-identities as Cyprus boasts nations, allowing all Kypriotes to live together without becoming confused

Full textAbstract:
La diffraction des ondes sismiques par des milieux fissures en deux dimensions (2d) est etudiee par une methode d'equations integrales aux frontieres ou les fonctions de green sont calculees par la methode des nombres d'ondes discrets (dwbiem : discrete wavenumber boundary integral equations method). Cette methode semi-analytique est particulierement bien adaptee aux problemes de la propagation des ondes sismiques dans un milieu homogene contenant des fissures vides ou remplies de fluide. Toutes les conversions d'ondes sont modelisees en appliquant la dwbiem. En premier lieu, nous avons etudie, par simulations numeriques, comment des milieux fissures pouvaient etre caracterises sismiquement. Nous avons ainsi pu observer des phenomenes d'attenuation et d'anisotropie, selon que la longueur d'onde du champ d'ondes incident est du meme ordre de grandeur ou qu'elle est plus grande que la longueur des fissures. Nous avons retrouve un resultat deja connu qui concerne l'attenuation des ondes elastiques lorsqu'elles traversent un milieu fissure : l'attenuation est maximale lorsque la longueur d'onde incidente est proche de la longueur des fissures. Par ailleurs, nous avons modelise la couche de granite fissuree du site de garner valley, en californie, en nous basant sur la theorie des milieux homogenes equivalents. Plusieurs modeles de milieux fissures restituent bien le taux d'anisotropie observe a garner valley. Une etude comparative de l'attenuation d'ondes s enregistrees la-bas et d'ondes s synthetiques permet de conclure que l'anisotropie s'explique par la presence de fissures verticales (et non horizontales) mais ne permet pas de privilegier un modele plus qu'un autre. Enfin, nous avons simule numeriquement la reponse hydro-mecanique d'un massif fracture a un seisme. Les deformations des fissures et les variations de pression dues au champ d'ondes rayonne par une faille en glissement permettent de connaitre les zones d'expulsion de fluide.

Full textAbstract:
La forte hétérogénéité de l'écosystème marin se traduit par une production inégale des ressources sur un large éventail d'échelles spatio-temporelles, qui conditionne par conséquent les déplacements des tortues marines. Considéré comme l’un des plus dynamiques au monde, le plateau des Guyanes est une région très complexe d'un point de vue océanographique et qui héberge trois des sept espèces de tortues marines présentes dans le monde (la tortue olivâtre, la tortue verte et la tortue luth). L'objectif de cette thèse était de comprendre comment les contraintes océanographiques peuvent-elles influencer les déplacements en mer de ces trois espèces. Le déploiement de 55 balises satellites sur des femelles reproductrices en Guyane française a permis de fournir des informations sur leurs trajectoires, sur leur comportement de plongée et sur les caractéristiques de leur environnement. Notre étude a mis en évidence une forte plasticité comportementale interspécifique qui semble être principalement dictée par les traits reproducteurs, les stratégies de reproduction, les conditions locales de l'habitat ou encore les adaptations physiologiquesThe strong heterogeneity of the marine ecosystem leads to a patchy distribution of the resources in time and space, shaping therefore the movements of sea turtles. Considered as the most dynamic ecosystem in the world, the Guiana shield is a highly dynamic system which hosts three of the seven sea turtle species in the world (the olive ridley, the green turtle and the leatherback turtle). The aim of this thesis was to understand how the oceanographic constraints can influence the at-sea movements of these three species during the reproduction and the migration phases. The deployment of 55 satellite tags on adult females in French Guiana provided information on their trajectories, their diving behavior and on the environment encountered. Our study shows a strong behavioral plasticity between species, which seems to be mainly dictated by the reproductive traits and strategies, the local conditions of the habitat and the physiological adaptations

Full textAbstract:
Greece has faced in a first time the consequences of the financial crisis in 2007 which led to several
austerity measures, bailout packages from the EU and numerous revolts from its population. Some years
later, in 2015, the country was then confronted to the ‘refugee crisis’, bringing hundreds and thousands
of individuals seeking international protection. Migration and asylum policies have been implemented,
targeting the decrease of irregular migrants’ venue. In this context, the main objective is to identify the
influence of migration and asylum policies on the everyday life of asylum seekers and locals.
Two periods of fieldwork in Greece have been conducted. The first one occurred in Eleonas, the refugee
camp of Athens, between August 2019 and January 2020. The second one took place on the island of
Lesvos during the month of February 2020, where the Hotspot Moria is situated. Thus, participant
observation and fieldnotes, semi-structured interviews, surveys and literature analyses were the methods
used.
The results indicate that policies are rather exclusionist and perpetuate the imposed categorization of
individuals, be it asylum seekers and Greeks. In particular, asylum procedures are driven by
humanitarian governance, governmentality, and bio-power, in other words, holding power over the life
of asylum seekers and locals. This thesis calls also for more inclusive policies between asylum seekers
and locals.A Grécia enfrentou pela primeira vez as consequências da crise financeira em 2007 que levaram a várias medidas de austeridade, pacotes de salvamento da UE e numerosas revoltas da sua população. Alguns anos mais tarde, em 2015, o país foi então confrontado com a "crise dos refugiados", trazendo centenas e milhares de indivíduos em busca de protecção internacional. Políticas de migração e asilo foram implementadas, visando a diminuição do número de migrantes em situação irregular. Neste contexto, o principal objectivo é identificar a influência das políticas de migração e asilo na vida quotidiana dos requerentes de asilo e dos habitantes locais. Foram realizados dois períodos de trabalho de campo na Grécia. O primeiro ocorreu em Eleonas, o campo de refugiados de Atenas, entre Agosto de 2019 e Janeiro de 2020. O segundo teve lugar na ilha de Lesbos durante o mês de Fevereiro de 2020, onde se situa o Hotspot Moria. Assim, a observação participante e as notas de campo, entrevistas semi-estruturadas, inquéritos e análises de literatura foram os métodos utilizados. Os resultados indicam que as políticas são bastante excludentes e perpetuam a categorização imposta de indivíduos, quer se trate de requerentes de asilo ou de gregos. Em particular, os procedimentos de asilo são impulsionados pela governação humanitária, pela governabilidade e pela bio-potência, por outras palavras, pela posse do poder sobre a vida dos requerentes de asilo e dos locais. Esta tese apela também à elaboração de políticas mais inclusivas entre os requerentes de asilo e os habitantes locais.

The main content of this Thesis is to assess the situation of the Greek minority in the territory of the Czech Republic in the context of its arrival, settlement and integration to the major society. The aim is to assess the current situation of the minority and its transnational activities. The Greek minority in our country is numerically stable and fully integrated into the main society. The typical feature of minority is the identification with other members of minority trough their organizations and also through the internal identification with the country of their origin (namely Greece), by the traditional culture, history, cuisine and language. The Thesis is divided into eight parts that are relevant to understanding the problems of Greek minority in our country in the context of involuntary emigration from war torn Greece in the 1950's. The methods used in this thesis were the secondary analyses and the field research (the questionnaire survey). The simple statistical methods were used to gain final result.

Full textAbstract:
This portfolio of research aimed to investigate the learning and teaching of Greek in Adelaide secondary schools, from the perspective of the students studying the language and to a lesser extent their parents and teachers. It sought to follow up the previous studies of Smolicz, Tamis and Papademetre, by studying the latest generation of young people of Greek background in relation to maintaining Greek language and culture. A longitudinal mixed research approach (qualitative and quantitative), influenced by humanistic sociological principles, was adopted. Data were collected through questionnaires, using both fixed and open-ended questions, as well as follow –up interviews and research observations over a ten year period. Respondents were drawn from St George College, established by the Greek Orthodox Community and Parish of St George, as the only independent school in Adelaide committed to maintaining Greek language and culture at high school level, and from three state high schools which are considered specialised in languages and offered Greek in their curriculum. The description of the data collected and the analysis of the findings are presented in three projects within this portfolio of research. Project 1 was based on data collected from ten parents whose children attended St George College and five teachers, on the one hand, and from 23 parents and six teachers associated with the three state high schools on the other. Most spoke in Greek ethnolect to their immigrant parents, but mainly English to their spouses and children. Although many had achieved upward mobility into professional careers, most felt both Greek and Australian. St George parents were more oriented towards the Greek community and valued the college’s Greek ethos, while state school parents associated more with mainstream Australian society and gave highest priority to their children’s academic success. Teachers were concerned at the decline in students’ competence and interest in Greek. Those in state schools were also fearful for the future of their subject. Project 2 studied the learning experiences, attitudes and language activation of 82 students from St George College. Many spoke a little Greek with grandparents, if they were still alive. Although most were positive to learning Greek and responded enthusiastically to the Greek ethos of the school, a small proportion were opposed to learning the language or regarded it as irrelevant. All but a few considered they were Greek, which they linked particularly with family, religion, historicity as well as music and character. Project 3 was a parallel study of 214 students studying Greek in state school contexts which were multicultural in orientation, not Greek. The students’ activation of Greek within the family was rather less than for the St George respondents. Far more of the students were indifferent (rather than opposed) to Greek, with some senior students being more positive. Their friendships and career aspirations oriented them toward mainstream Australian society. In identity, they felt Australian, but almost always with some sense of Greekness as well. In conclusion, the new knowledge this dissertation offers to the Greek language and culture research was mapped out and the participants were taxonomised into participant’s types attracted to one or other or both cultural groups. Only a few were monadic, attracted to either the Australian or the Greek group. Even fewer were dyadic, balanced in their activation of both Australian and Greek language and culture. The great majority were pseudo-dyadic, where the language and culture of one group predominated, but there was some evidence of the activation of the other. Finally, the implications of these findings for the teaching of Greek at secondary level, and the possible effects of a potential new wave of immigrants from Greece are discussed.Thesis (D.Ed.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Education, 2014

M.A. (Greek)The main purpose of this study has been to investigate the work of Greek poets in South Africa's Hellenic Diaspora from 1960 up to date, a period of a more voiummous artistic production due to the noticeable increase in the number of new Hellene immigrants and the innovative cultural atmosphere they brought along. Under this perspective, we examined the forces which led individuals to artistic creation with special focus on the relation between national identity and poetic production. Research has initially been based on poem collections, personal interviews as well as on newspaper articles, magazine publications and schedules of events which constitute our primary resources. In due course, lexicons and encyclopaedias were used to clarify terminology and semantics, as well as p!Cvious studies and relevant bibliography in order to prove, substantiate and enrich our present study. Implementation of quantitative and qualitative approaches with the use of questionnaires, interviews and data analysis rendered our project the following form: In the first chapter, Hellas is examined as the poets' country of origin in order to investigate the possible historic and literary influences carried over by the Greek poets to their new home. A history review of the period between the Second World War and 1974 was conducted examining the Hellenic socio-economic conditions predominant during the said period, which are likely to have led individuals into emigrating, as well as the post-war Hellenic literary development…

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, I explore the experience and significance of absence in the lives of Pontians who live in Adelaide. Pontians are descendants from colonies of Greeks who, for at least 3000 years, inhabited the area bordering the Black Sea in northern Turkey in an area once called Pontos. Their underlying and ongoing sense of absence derives from two historical events of loss. One is from a genocide and enforced exile from Pontos wherein 350,000 of their people died between 1917 and 1923. The other is from voluntary migration when some of the Pontic Greeks who had settled in Greece, and/or their descendants, came to Australia as part of the mass migration of peoples in the mid 20th century. The memories and narratives of the traumatic loss of people and place from Pontos, and the experiences associated with migration to Australia, have played a pivotal role in the construction and experience of absence for Pontians and is an important dimension of their identity as Pontians. The memory of loss is always in the present and is evoked by present experiences and sensed through a multi-faceted expression of emotions. It is embodied in a variety of corporeal practices such as commemorations, dance, community gatherings and return visits and is experienced as an absence. Given that many of my informants have lived in Adelaide for up to fifty years, a central question of this thesis is, how do they continue to remember the loss of their former homelands and why does this elicit an often deep emotional response? In this thesis, I explore how social memory, emotions and embodiment intertwine in the practices of commemoration, dance and journeys to show how loss from the past events of exile and migration are brought into the present to be experienced as both an absence and the presence of that absence. Focusing on how the body experiences being-in-the-world through temporally and historically informed sensory engagement, as well as drawing on a conscious as well as an unconscious reservoir of meaning, loss is not only tied to past events but in and through the body becomes both an absence of a presence and the presence of an absence.Thesis (Ph.D.) -- University of Adelaide, School of Social Sciences, 2013

The issue of environmental protection is one of the key project discussed among governments to ensure the sustainable development of the environment. In this study, we use the PPM model (Push-Pull-Mooring Model) to explore the determinants of the consumer's behavior switch from fuel motorcycle to electric scooter. The "push" refers to the negative factors of the original product, which makes the users of the fuel motocycle switch to the electric scooter. The "pull" effect refers to the incentives provided by the new product to enable the user of the fuel motorcycle switch to the electric scooter. The "mooring" refers to the users of fuel motorcycle reduce their switch intention for personal or social factors. There are 353 valid questionnaires were collected and the structural equation model was used to examine the hypotheses. Analysis results show that both the pull factors (environmental benefits, government regulations, product characteristics) and the push factors(Low quality, low service quality and low price satisfaction of fuel locomotive) increase switching intention; On the contrary, mooring factors (switching costs, old product advantage, inertia) will reduce consumer's switching intention. Additionally, mooring will weaken the relationship between pull and switch intention, but has no significant effect on the relationship between push factors and switching intention. Finally, the results of this study provide some useful information to government as well as the motorcycle industry in marketing and production as reference.

The topic of this diploma thesis is the evaluation of the project of green cards which is a Czech version of the programme of advantageous employment for the foreigners. Green card represents a special type of visa authorization which the citizens from selected countries outside of EU and EEA can apply for. The project was supposed to attract the foreign workers to come and work in Czech Republic in the fields with high demand of labour force, and thus to meet the needs of employers and to stabilize the situation on the labour market. It was expected that it would raise the interest of tens of thousands of foreigners. However, in reality the program is used to the minimal extent and to these days (or so to say by the end of 2012) Czech Republic issued less than four hundred green cards. Therefore, the main aim of this thesis is to define the reasons behind the low and unsatisfactory use of this programme. The thesis is based on the theory of implementation. The main theoretical basis represents: top-down institutional framework of P. Sabatier and D. Mazmanian and an instrumental approach combining multiple perspectives of various authors. Hence the design of the research can be characterised as a case study in which both qualitative and quantitative research methods are applied. Specific data...

The post-nesting migration of green turtles at Wan-An Island, Penghu Archipelago since 1994 and in 2000 Taiping Islands of Nansha Archipelago. The study found that the turtles left Wan-An would move toward N、NW、NE and S directions. The turtles left Taiping Islands would move toward NE、N、SE and S directions. The relevant studies in the past would mislead the conclusion, because the current models only use the mean current speed over large areas, thus did not considered the variability in the currents. In this study, the simultaneously current speed was calculated from the current model and compared to the migration speed derived from the Argos positions.Then, one can determine the effect of current on the migration behavior of different turtles in the same Ocean basin, and in the different ocean basins. In Taiwan straits,when the turtle moved toward N and NW, because current speed is equal to the net-turtle speed, the current can increase the migration speed. When the turtle moved toward S in Taiwan straits, the northward current speed was smaller than the net migration speed, then the current can not influence both the turtle’s migration speed and direction. The turtles in the South China Sea swam in the same direction as the current. However because the current speed was smaller than net-turtle speed, it can not change the migration behavior. In conclusion, when the current speed is equal the net-turtle speed, current can influence the migration speed of turtles. However, when current speed is smaller then net-turtle speed, no matter where turtles are they will not be changed their migration speeds and directions.

de Mestre em Biologia Marinha e ConservaçãoA tartaruga-verde é uma espécie ovípara que se distribui pelos oceanos e zonas costeiras tropicais, subtropicais e temperadas quentes, com grande capacidade migratória entre áreas de alimentação e reprodução. Esta espécie conta com uma dieta variada ao longo da sua vida, passando de carnívoras/omnívoras enquanto juvenis para maioritariamente herbívoras enquanto adultos. São espécies sem cuidados parentais, e as crias, após emergirem dos ninhos, fixam a assinatura geomagnética do lugar de origem, onde regressam para se reproduzir quando adultas. A tartaruga-verde é alvo de várias ameaças antropogénicas, ao longo da sua vida, sendo protegidas em vários países. O arquipélago dos Bijagós, Guiné-Bissau, alberga uma grande população nidificante de tartarugas-verdes, de importância mundial. Neste estudo pesquisaram-se o nicho trófico e as rotas migratórias após reprodução desta população, e determinou-se o seu sucesso reprodutor, taxa de predação e impacto da inundação sobre os ninhos. Através de análises dos isótopos estáveis e colocação de transmissores de GPS por satélite identificaram-se as áreas de alimentação desta população, nomeadamente os Bijagós, Senegal, Gâmbia e Mauritânia. As tartarugas-verdes dos Bijagós ocuparam uma posição mais alta na cadeia trófica e apresentaram um nicho trófico menos amplo, em relação às da Mauritânia. Na ilha de Meio verificou-se uma alta taxa de predação e de inundação dos ninhos, contribuindo para um baixo sucesso reprodutor, ao contrário da ilha de Poilão, onde o sucesso de eclosão foi alto.
The green turtle is an oviparous species that is distributed in throughout the tropical, subtropical and temperate warm oceans and coastal areas, with great a migratory capacity between feeding and reproduction areas. This species has a varied diet throughout its life, changing from carnivores/omnivores as juveniles to mostly herbivores as adults. They do not display parental care, and the hatchlings, after emerging from their nests, imprint the geomagnetic signature of their natal beach, where they return to reproduce as adults. The green turtle faces several anthropogenic threats throughout its life, being protected in several countries. The Bijagós archipelago, Guinea-Bissau, is home to a large breeding population of green turtles, of global importance. In this study, the trophic niche and the post-breeding migratory routes of this population were researched, and the reproductive success, predation and inundation rates on the nests were determined. Through the analysis of stable isotopes and the deployment of GPS satellite transmitters, the feeding areas of this population were identified, namely the Bijagós, Senegal, Gambia and Mauritania. The green turtles of the Bijagós occupied a higher position in the trophic chain and presented a less wide trophic niche, in relation to those of Mauritania. In the island of Meio there was a high rate of predation and flooding of the nests, contributing to a low reproductive success, unlike in the island of Poilão, where the hatching success was high.

L’île de Java fait partie des régions les plus densément peuplées du monde. Lors de la seconde moitié du vingtième siècle, le gouvernement indonésien a instauré des politiques de transmigrations visant à décongestionner démographiquement l’île-maîtresse. Mais les objectifs de ce programme étaient multiples, visant notamment à fournir la main d’œuvre agricole, à bas prix, aux agro-industries afin de les inciter à s’installer dans les îles de la périphérie javanaise. La transition agraire a valorisé l’implantation de l’agriculture intensive à grande échelle. Ceci a contribué à l’exclusion progressive des paysans Javanais au sein des systèmes de production agricole, engendrant un changement de valeurs et d'aspirations au sein des communautés rurales. La transition agraire a ainsi contribué à accentuer la désagrarianisation des communautés rurales javanaises, se traduisant en un immense surplus de main-d’œuvre dans les campagnes suite à la révolution verte qui a été entamée au cours de la décennie 1970. L’émergence d’un noyau d’entrepreneurs et les migrations de travailleurs sont au cœur des stratégies de résilience économique développées par les paysans javanais pour faire face aux impacts de la transition agraire. Les rapatriements de fonds qui découlent des migrations contribuent à la survie de certaines communautés rurales, dans lesquelles de nombreux membres passent le plus clair de leur temps à l’extérieur du village.Java island is part of the most densely populated regions of the world. During the second half of the twentieth century, the Indonesian government established transmigration policies aiming to lower the demographic pressure on the main island. But the intentions behind those policies were various, including the aim to provide cheap labor for the agribusiness to encourage their settlement on the islands surrounding Java. The agrarian transition valued the establishment of large scale intensive agriculture. This contributed to the progressive exclusion of javanese peasants in agricultural production systems, generating a change of values and aspirations inside rural communities. The agrarian transition thus contributed to emphasize the deagrarianization of javanese rural communities, engendering a great surplus of labor on the countryside following the green revolution which took place in the 1970’s. The emergence of entrepreneurship and the migration of workers are amongst the economic resilience strategies developed by javanese peasants to cope with the impacts of the agrarian transition. Remittances resulting from those migrations contribute to the survival of multiple rural communities, in which many members spend most of their time outside the village.

This thesis deals with the issue of illegal migration in the Czech Republic and various approaches to its solution. First of all, it provides a complex survey of the problem. It views the problem in the context of international migration, labor migration and the legislative framework of the Czech Republic, as regards its relation to foreigners. The goal is to compare and evaluate individual possibilities of dealing with illegal migration from the point of view of governmental and non-governmental institutions, and to propose an optimal solution. The thesis presents indepth interviews with representatives of seven different institutions. It turns out that particular solutions of illegal migration can not be separated, rather they must be viewed in the context of all other solutions. The priorities of the fight with illegal migration are the following: cooperation with countries of origin, enlightenment of both, potential immigrants as well as their potential employers, getting rid of ``push{\crqq} factors in countries of origin, and elimination of the main ``pull{\crqq} factor which is the possibility of getting an illegal job in the target country. The main output of my thesis research is pinpointing recommendations and conclusions which should be considered when looking for an optimal solution to the issue of illegal migration. I also present a few hypotheses for further research. When looking for an optimal solution the crucial task is played by the high-quality discussion on both levels, the professional as well as the public one. I suppose that this work has enhanced such discussion, furthermore, it can enhance such debate in the future too.

Effective conservation strategies for sea turtles require knowledge of animal movements and protection of biologically important habitats and life history stages. For breeding adult sea turtles, understanding both their inshore and pelagic spatial patterns is imperative to the successful protection of the species and the accurate identification of their vulnerabilities. This study provides insight into the inter-nesting, post-nesting, and foraging movements of green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) that nest on Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea, by using satellite telemetry to track green turtles (n=12) during two nesting seasons (2017-18, 2018-19), and as they migrated to foraging grounds after the nesting season. These tracks were fit with a switching state space model to characterize movements, and then analyzed in relation to environmental and anthropogenic factors. Dive depth data was also used to determine utilization patterns within the water column. The 12 tagged turtles migrated for an average of 1064 km to two distinct foraging grounds, with 10 migrating west for an average of 1115 km to the coastal waters of Ghana, and 2 migrating south for an average of 1563 km to the coastal waters of Angola. Migrating turtles used both direct, pelagic migration strategies, and biphasal, coastal strategies, which included intermittent foraging throughout migrations. Dive depths varied depending on behavior, with an average of 19.3 m during inter-nesting, 12.6 m during migration and 8.5 m during foraging. Knowledge of inter-nesting habitat use, migration patterns, and foraging ground locations will be critical for the development of marine conservation management plans in the Gulf of Guinea and aide in sea turtle conservation efforts throughout the area. Additionally, spatial and dive depth data can inform zonal fishing regulators and provide information needed for modifications to fishing practices and gear that is most likely to reduce sea turtle bycatch. These data will provide a more complete understanding of marine areas critical to sea turtle conservation and aide in sustainable economic development in the Gulf of Guinea.
