Full textŠiuolaikinėse visuomenėse tarptautinė migracija tampa vis aktualesniu reiškiniu. Akademinėje literatūroje migracija dažniausiai nagrinėjama pasitelkiant įvairius reprezentacinius modelius. Šis magistro darbas skirtas migracijos konceptualizavimui per imanentiškos Gilles Deleuzo filosofijos prizmę bei nemateriaulaus darbo praktiką. Pirma darbo dalis pristato bei analizuoja reprezentacijos, kaip reiškinio, problematiką ir diskutuoja migranto figūros priklausomybę imanentinei Deliozo filosofijos terpei. Antroji darbo dalis skirta dominuojančios šiuolaikinio kapitalizmo ekonomikos rūšies – post-Fordizmo – analizei. Migranto konceptas, aptariamas per Deliozo imamentiškos filosofijos prizmę yra pagrįstas šiai filosofijai priklausančiais konceptais: troškimu, pokyčiu, deteritorializacija, afektu, kurie yra tampriai susiję su post-Fordizmo ekonomika bei viena iš jos praktikų – nematerialiu darbu. Kadangi tiek nematerialaus darbo logika, tiek migranto būtis remiasi žmogiškuoju gebėjimais mąstyti, užmegzti ryšį per komunikacijos aktą bei sukelti afektą, abu konceptai yra patalpinami į imanentišką lauką. Imanencija paremta bet kokios reprezentacijos, kuria remiamas transcendcijos kūrimas, atmetimu bei būties patalpinimu į materialų pasaulį, kuriamą iš intensyvumų mainais paremtų ryšių. Tokiu būdu migrantas, kurio būtis paremta intensyviu ryšių kūrimu bei perkūrimu, tampa paradigmatišku viso post-Fordizmo ekonomikos, kuriai būdingas intensyvus ryšių kūrimas siekiant sukurti vis...

Full textNeste trabalho é feito o estudo da migração em Porto-Rico, tanto no curto como no longo, usando a análise de séries temporais e o processo estocástico de Ornstein Uhlenbeck. Os resultados mostram que, de acordo com a literatura, a migração é uma variável muito difícil de modelar. Apesar dessa dificuldade, mostra-se que a migração é uma variável que tem um impacto de longo prazo na economia, na demografia e na actividade seguradora de Porto-Rico. No final é dado um exemplo numérico com aplicações na actividade seguradora. São também apresentadas conclusões e perspectivas futuras para o estudo da migração em Porto-Rico.
Migration in Puerto Rico is modeled, both in the short-term and long-term, using time series analysis and the Ornstein Uhlenbeck Stochastic Process. Results show that, in agreement with previous works, migration continues to be a very difficult and volatile variable to model. However, it is shown that contrary to most of the literature, migration is a variable that does have a long-term impact on Puerto Rico?s economy, demography, and actuarial industry.

Full textThis thesis has tried to construct a comprehensive analysis of a clearly defined community of Egyptian Jews in Australia and France, based on the oral history of Egyptian born migrants. Built around the conceptual framework of forced emigration, integration and acculturation, it looks at the successful experience of this particular migrant group within both Australian and French societies. Like the other Jewish communities of Arab lands, the Egyptian Jewish community no longer exists, as it was either expelled or forced into exile in the aftermath of the three Arab-Israeli wars (1948, 1956, 1967). This thesis argues that the rise of an exclusively Arab-Islamic type of nationalism, the growth of Islamic fundamentalism and the escalating Arab-Israeli conflict constituted the fundamental causes for the demise of Egyptian Jewry. As a consequence, almost half of the Jewish population of Egypt went to Israel. The rest dispersed throughout the Western world, mainly in France, North and South America. In Australia, a small group of around 2,000 found a new home. Apart from those who migrated to Israel, the majority of Egyptian Jews experienced a waiting period in Europe before they were accepted by any of the countries of immigration, a period facilitated by international and local Jewish welfare agencies. My interviewees chose Australia mostly to be reunited with family members. They first had to overcome the racial discrimination of the ‘White Australia’ Immigration policy towards Jews of Middle Eastern origin, a hurdle surmounted thanks to the tireless efforts of some leaders of the Australian Jewish community. With their multiple language skills, multi-layered identity and innate ability to interact with a variety of ethnic groups, they succeeded in establishing themselves in an unfamiliar country that initially welcomed them reluctantly. As such, they can be said to have successfully acculturated and integrated into Australian society, whilst retaining their own cultural diversity. The more numerous Egyptian Jews living in France also successfully acculturated. As a larger group, they were better equipped to assert themselves within the older Jewish/French community and retain their distinctive Sephardi culture. Studies such as the present one provide insight into the process of integration and identity reconstruction, as well as the diverse strategies used to ensure a successful acculturation, and the value of a multi-layered identity.

Resumo: O presente texto tem por objetivo abordar um processo de reconfiguração de um bairro rural em Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, a partir das trajetórias de migração internacional de alguns de seus habitantes. Estes migraram para a Itália, com o intuito de conseguirem a cidadania italiana. Após oito meses da primeira viagem para a Itália, já com o passaporte italiano em mãos, partiram para os Estados Unidos. A meta, desde o início era a possibilidade de garantia de uma economia que lhes desse condições para a reprodução de suas pequenas propriedades cafeeiras. Para alcançar o objetivo desta pesquisa, considero como fontes principais as narrativas das experiências destas famílias através da etnografia de suas trajetórias, das experiências dos maridos no exterior e de suas esposas no Brasil. Desta forma, apresento as trajetórias relativas ao período de quatro anos em que estiveram envolvidas no processo migratório traçando, assim, a trajetória de homens e mulheres, no limiar entre a transformação e a reprodução de suas vidas no decorrer desse processo
Abstract: This paper aims to approach a process of restructuring a rural district in Poços de Caldas, Minas Gerais, from the trajectories of international migration of some of its inhabitants. They migrated to Italy, with the aim of achieving Italian citizenship. Eight months after his first trip to Italy, since the Italian passport in hand, went to the United States. The goal from the beginning was the possibility of ensuring an economy that would give them conditions for the reproduction of their small coffee farms. To achieve the goal of this research, I consider as main sources the narratives of the experiences of these families through ethnography of their trajectories, the experiences of foreign husbands and their wives in Brazil. Thus, I present the trajectories for the four years that they were involved in the migration process, thus, tracing the trajectory of men and women on the threshold between the processing and reproduction of their lives during and after this process

Full textBackground: In general, refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants are considered to be a vulnerable population. With regards to the increasing number of asylum applicants during the last decade in Sweden, health care staff is likely to encounter individuals with a refugee background. Although, many working in health care have limited knowledge about the effects of migration and legal rights. Nurses are required to have the ability to meet patients’ physical, psychological, social, spiritual as well as cultural needs, and to deliver the care in a culturally sensible way. Aim: The aim of this bachelor’s thesis was to illustrate nurses’ experiences of caring for refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants. Method: A literature review according to Friberg’s method was conducted. Twelve scientific articles of both qualitative and quantitative design are the foundation of this paper. Data was collected from the databases CINAHL and PubMed. Themes and subthemes were then formed after analyses of the material. Results: The results are presented in two main themes along with their subthemes. The first main theme Experiences of obstacles in caring describes various difficulties the nurses encountered while caring for patients who are refugees, asylum seekers and undocumented migrants. The second main theme The nurses’ emotional reactions describes subjective feelings the nurses expressed while working with patients who have this background. Discussion: The results show that nurses experienced difficulties in the communication and difficulties giving care related to different cultural views on health. Stereotyping and bias of patients could also occur among nurses, which affected the care negatively. These consequential findings are discussed in relation to Leininger’s theory of transcultural nursing.

Esta dissertação possui como objetivo analisar as experiências migratórias e de vida das mulheres migrantes numa perspectiva de gênero. Escolhi o enfoque de gênero, pois penso que as construções sociais que pesam sobre o gênero feminino, como deveres, proibições, aprovações e dentre outros aspectos são significantes para entendermos como se configuram as experiências migratórias no universo feminino. Busquei conhecer as diferentes experiências migratórias a partir de três momentos, antes da migração, estando elas no Rio de Janeiro e com o retorno a cidade de Fagundes- Paraíba. Destaco alguns aspectos para análise, como o lugar e papel da mulher migrante na família, relação com o trabalho; novos arranjos familiares; desafios e conflitos vividos ao conciliar o trabalho, educação, cuidados dos filhos e relação com os respectivos cônjuges; que mudanças ocorreram no retorno à Fagundes, após anos morando e trabalhando no Rio de Janeiro. A migração das mulheres ocorreu da cidade de Fagundes, Paraíba, para o Rio de Janeiro. Estando as mulheres atualmente na condição de migrante de retorno. A todo o momento no texto estou falando de mulheres trabalhadoras migrantes. Mulheres que encontraram na migração uma possibilidade de emprego e posteriormente uma conquista de autonomia. Para compreensão desses aspectos utilizo a metodologia da História Oral, pois ela considera a compreensão das vivências e singularidades das experiências ao longo do tempo.
The objective of this work is to analyze migration and life experiences of women in a gender perspective. I chose the gender approach , because I think that the social constructions that weigh on females , as duties , prohibitions , approvals and among other aspects are significant to understand how to configure the migration experiences in the female population . I sought to know the different migration experiences from three times , before migration , as they were in Rio de Janeiro and with the return of the city Fagundes - Paraíba . Highlight some aspects for analysis , as the place and role of migrant women in the family , relationship and work, new family arrangements ; challenges and conflicts experienced to combine work , education , child care and relationship with their spouses , what changes have occurred the return to Fagundes , after years living and working in Rio de Janeiro . The migration of women occurred Fagundes city , Paraíba to Rio de Janeiro . And women are currently in the return migrant status . At all times in the text I'm talking about women migrant workers . Women found that migration is a possibility of employment and subsequently an achievement of autonomy . To understand these aspects use the methodology of oral history because it considers the experiences and understanding of the uniqueness of the experiences over time.

Full textMigration is a process that begins with the mere thought of moving, but it continues long after the individual arrives in her or his new home. The process is constrained by certain factors such as capital, immigration policy, and the existence of kinship networks. Individuals who are able to overcome these constraints and decide to migrate, must overcome a new set of challenges upon arrival in the host county. These challenges include the need to adapt to a new labour market, use of a new language, and integration with the rest of society. Human and social capital are important tools that allow immigrants to successfully meet these challenges.
Human and social capital play different roles in the migration process of these individuals. Human capital allows Mexican individuals to overcome the barriers to initial migration, but it does not ensure successful social or labour market integration. Social capital is a more effective tool in the resettlement process, and it also helps to strengthen transnational bonds.
The Mexican community in the Vancouver CMA does not rely on a complex set of kinship networks. However, this study found that there is an ongoing process to create social capital. This process simultaneously encourages the formation of nationality-based social capital (i.e. bonding social capital) and bridging social capital. These types of capital are important because they help the community to overcome the challenges of integrating into the labour market as well as the larger society. Furthermore, the person-to-person contact between Mexicans and the rest of society fosters mutual understanding. Since much of the Mexican community maintains strong ties to the source country, integration is an important point of reference for further engagement between Mexico and Canada.

Full textBackground: Globalization and immigration now make completely different demands on healthcare service throughout Europe. In Sweden one fifth of the population are born in another country. In other words, Sweden is a multicultural society. The healthcare service of Sweden faces a great challenge and in how nurses are capable to meet this challenge. Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe nurses' experiences of caring for patients with different cultural backgrounds. Method: A descriptive literature study was performed analyzing ten qualitative studies. Result: It has been found in this thesis that when working with transcultural patient’s nurse’s experiences problems in three dimensions surrounding the nursing situation. The problems were the following: Language and communications problems, culture-gender role discrepancies and finally stereotyping by nurses. Conclusion: It has been found that nurses in their daily work with transcultural patients experience different cultural problems in their nursing situation. The transcultural care theory has claimed to be able to explain and solve this kind of friction between the nurse and the transcultural patient, but not managed to do so. It has been argued that the transcultural care theory has proven to be out-of-date for today’s fast multicultural migration. New research is needed to support the nursing profession into the future.
