Full textAbstract:
Background: There are numerous studies in the Information Technology (IT) field on IT project success and/or failure and reasons thereof. There is much discussion about what constitutes IT project success and the main determinants are generally a subjective matter. Several studies address critical success factors and some address success criteria about IT projects. However, the combination of mechanisms, success criteria, and critical success factors has not been adequately researched or widely addressed and hence the need to conduct this study which seeks to examine the aforementioned relationships and propose a modified model to explain the links among them. Objectives: The main objectives of this study are: 1) To identify and discuss the role played by success factors (input variables) in an IT project; 2) To identify and discuss the role played by success criteria (output variables) in an IT project; 3) To identify and discuss the role played by mechanisms (mediating variables) and impact thereof on an IT project; and 4) To identify, investigate and explore the interrelationships between the aforementioned constructs and how they impact the success of an IT project. Research Methodology/Approach: A modified model of the Black Box of IS Project Success Mechanisms was utilised to guide the data collection process. The model was based on three fundamental constructs developed from various sources of literature viz. success criteria, critical success factors, and mechanisms. The study made use of a single case study based on a data migration project which one of the major corporates in South Africa executed. The data migration project provides for a distinct type of IT project suitable to meet the study objectives. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, and a thematic analysis was conducted to identify success factors, mechanisms, and IT project success criteria. Findings: The findings revealed that there are several success criteria measures viz. the traditional project management triangle (cost, scope and time), non-functional requirements, customer satisfaction, other stakeholders' requirements, quality assurance, organisational benefits, and learning and growth. Further, there are several critical success factors including project management factors, team-related factors, organisational factors, business process factors, and governance and risk factors. There are core mechanisms that are pivotal to the success of the IT project which includes project visibility, teamwork, and effective communication.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to explore whether or not there exists a difference
between the old and new migrants who moved to Istanbul, Ankara, Bursa, Izmir,
Gaziantep, Erzurum and Sanliurfa provinces pre and post 1990, and the
disadvantaged residents born in the urban areas of these provinces in terms of
education, health and employment.
To attain this aim, a theoretical framework, through which main features of the
concept of disadvantageous were discussed.The overview of the literature, is
based on these three dimensions of being disadvantaged, which are education,
health and employment by using socio-economical characteristics as the
interpretive tools. Therefore, the definition of disadvantageous centered on the
notion of migration is accepted as a background of the study. In this respect,
disadvantaged people are accepted as a group that experiences a higher risk of
poverty and social exclusion than the general population.

Full textAbstract:
The Kotlin programming language has seen an increase of adoption since its launch in 2011. In late 2017 Google announced first-class support for Kotlin on the Android platform which further popularized the language. With this increase in popularity we felt it was interesting to investigate how Kotlin affects the developer experience. We performed a case study to see how Java developers perceive the Kotlin language, and how it meets the requirements of these developers. To gather the developer requirements and their perception of Kotlin we performed two sets of interviews and rewrote parts of their codebase. The first set of interviews identified developer requirements and the second set of interviews showcased the Kotlin language and its potential use in their codebase. The results show that Kotlin can meet most of the developer requirements and that the perception of Kotlin is positive. Kotlin’s ability to be incrementally adopted was a prominent feature which reduced the inherent risks of technology adoption while providing them the ability to further evaluate the language. The expressiveness of a programming language has previously been found to be a prominent factor of language adoption. In this study, we identified the expressive nature of Kotlin as a major factor of its adoption potential.

This is an empirical study that aims to contribute to knowledge about the opportunities the career counselling conversation offers young migrants in shaping their future. Conversations play a central role in career counselling activities in Swedish schools; furthermore, the question of how the Swedish society promotes the inclusion of its immigrants has become an increasingly urgent issue. The study draws on a dialogical framework on interaction and meaning making and seeks to gain insight into how meaning about the future is formed in career counselling conversations. The following questions were formulated: How is the interaction between migrant students and their counsellors formed in counselling conversations? How can the interaction be understood in relation to the participants and their contexts? What seems to enable or constrain students’ meaning making about the future in these conversations? The study was conducted in an introductory course for newly arrived immigrants at the upper secondary level. Researcher followed a series of two career counselling conversations between five students and five counsellors, respectively. The empirical material comprises three parts: audio-recordings of conversations, observations of these conversations and audio-recorded interviews with counsellors and students. The students, three men and two women, have a non-European background and had been in Sweden between one and three years. All except one can be considered a refugee. The material was transcribed, and the conversations were analysed with the concepts of communicative projects and strategies. The conversations are the primary empirical material. The results show that the counsellors’ and the students’ communicative projects primarily are complementary. Both the counsellor and the conversations appear as crucial for students learning about Swedish opportunity structures and meaning making about the future. The analysis also elucidated interactional patterns and interplay that seem to constrain the students’ possibilities to shape a future with their own conditions within the conversations. The conversations focused on Swedish career opportunities and lacked a transnational perspective. Furthermore, the students’ migrant background was not made relevant in the conversations; hence, the conversations risk contributing to students’ stigmatisation. The counsellors’ methods also seem at risk of individualising issues related to institutional preconditions and structural constraints. However, the analysis also displayed how the counsellor can counteract these constraining effects. The result implicates, in alignment with other studies, that the responsibility for the students’ career processes cannot be put on counselling conversations alone; more comprehensive and integrated activities for career learning in the schools are necessary to provide immigrant students with reasonable possibilities for shaping a future. Moreover, the conclusion is drawn that counsellor’s conversation skills are important for the students meaning making about the future but that counsellors also must have, among other things, the ability to comprehend migrants’ feelings and existential issues regarding the future and, not least, knowledge about the conditions of migrants and the ability to both comprehend and actively recognize injustices and different expressions of power. There are seldom others advocating for the rights of migrants.Vägledning mellan erkännande, rättvisa och skillnadsskapande

Full textAbstract:
The term integration became a buzzword and is omnipresent in the current European discourses. Despite its broad definitions, there is a tendency in migration studies and the political narrative to focus exclusively on migrants and their descendants while upholding the vision of a fixed “host society”, with an established national culture, in which migrants should integrate. The present study aims to reframe the concept of integration by adopting a postmigrant approach and by analyzing the contribution of art projects in this regard. To do so, the study draws on two current theoretical approaches to integration in the social sciences, Stuart Hall’s conceptualization of national culture, the postmigration concept and the societal impact of art as theoretical framework. First, the notion of integration has been positioned theoretically in current postmigrant debates. The content analysis demonstrates that the conceptualization of postmigrant integration takes distance from the notion of assimilation and looks beyond the topic of migration. Second, eight semi-structured interviews have been conducted with project team members and project participants of the art projects “Newcomers”, “Leben, Erzählen, Schreiben”, “Hela Bilden”, and the organization “Alter & Ego”. The thematic analysis of the interviews showed the necessity to address the “host population”, i.e. individuals without experience of forced migration, to overcome monolingualism and to concentrate on societal diversity which contributes to the theorization of postmigrant integration. The present thesis indicates the importance of the arts regarding their societal impact and agency to provide alternative narratives on migration and integration. It also stresses the necessity of integration policies and the European migration regime to take part in the reframing of current migration discourses by directly addressing the “host population” and acknowledging today’s context of plural societies in which everyone should integrate.This thesis has been written as part of the EuMIGS double degree programme in the field of Migration Studies.

Khan, A. (Asadullah). "Improving Performance of Construction Projects in the UAE:multi cultural and decent work perspectives." Doctoral thesis, Oulun yliopisto, 2014. http://urn.fi/urn:isbn:9789526204802.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract This thesis investigated the national culture of the construction labourers in a migrant country and empirically found the impact of cultural behavior on the performance of construction projects and labourers while practicing the decent work indicators. The study culminates by helping to form a migration policy by both the sending and the receiving countries of migrants that would economically and socially benefit both the migrant labourer and his family at the individual level. This thesis therefore helps by adding to the theoretical knowledge and also in the successful completion of projects and successful temporary migration. The research involved multi-research methods, starting with the narratives of the construction labourers. The research methodology was further augmented through a case study approach with the participant observation method. The data were coded according to grounded theory into national cultural dimensions. Re-confirmation and cross-checking interviews were also conducted to confirm the correctness of the coding. The qualitative data collected were quantified to give meaning to the data collection through triangulation in data analysis. After introducing national cultures in the construction projects of the UAE, the national culture of the construction labourers within Geert Hofstede’s framework was identified, while observing the decent work practices indicators. This was achieved through narratives, observations and semi-structured interviews. The thesis investigates decent work practices indicators specific to the culture of migrant construction labourers from Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi and Chinese labourers in the UAE. The thesis reveals that the national culture of the migrant construction labourers in the UAE is not the same as that identified by Hofstede some four decades ago. Indian construction labourers revealed high Uncertainty Avoidance Index (UAI), Pakistani labourers showed high Masculinity (MAS), Bangladeshi labourers revealed low Long Term Orientation (LTO) and Individualism (IND) and Chinese construction labourers showed high IND and LTO. The study suggests that the management of cultural differences could help the successful completion of projects, which could be beneficial for both the migrant sending country and the host country and also for the individual migrant and his family. The study further investigated the difference in decent work practices in the UAE and the national culture (as seen in cultural behavior) of the migrant construction labourers in the UAE. Studying this difference in practice and learning about the cultural behavior of the construction labourers has economic and social implications for construction labourers, migrant receiving and sending countriesTiivistelmä Tässä väitöskirjassa tutkittiin toiseen maahan muuttaneiden rakennustyöntekijöiden kansallista kulttuuria ja todettiin empiirisiä tutkimusmenetelmiä käyttäen, kuinka kulttuurinen käyttäytyminen vaikuttaa rakennushankkeiden toteuttamiseen ja työntekijöiden työsuoritukseen, kun sovelletaan ihmisarvoisen työn indikaattoreita. Maahanmuuttajien lähtö- ja tulomaa voivat käyttää tämän tutkimuksen tuloksia apuna laatiessaan maahanmuuttopolitiikkaa, joka hyödyttäisi taloudellisesti ja yhteiskunnallisesti siirtotyöläistä ja tämän perhettä. Tämä väitöskirja auttaa toisin sanoen lisäämään teoreettista tietämystä ja sujuvaa tilapäistä maahanmuuttoa sekä saattamaan hankkeet onnistuneesti päätökseen. Tutkimuksessa käytettiin useita eri tutkimusmenetelmiä, ja lähtökohtana olivat rakennustyöntekijöiden omat kertomukset. Tutkimusmetodologiaa täydennettiin lisäksi tapaustutkimuksella käyttäen osallistuvan havainnoinnin menetelmää. Tutkimustiedot koodattiin käyttäen grounded theory -lähestymistavan mukaisia kansallisten kulttuurien ulottuvuuksia. Haastatteluille tehtiin lisäksi ristiintarkistus ja ne vahvistettiin uudelleen, jotta voitiin varmistua koodauksen paikkansapitävyydestä. Kerätty kvalitatiivinen aineisto ilmaistiin määrällisenä, jotta kerättyjä tietoja voitiin analysoida triangulaation avulla. Tutkimuksessa esiteltiin aluksi, miten kansalliset kulttuurit liittyvät Yhdistyneiden arabiemiirikuntien rakennushankkeisiin, minkä jälkeen määritettiin rakennustyöntekijöiden kansallinen kulttuuri käyttäen Geert Hofsteden teoriaa ja noudattaen ihmisarvoisen työn käytäntöjä koskevia indikaattoreita. Apuna käytettiin kertomuksia, havaintoja ja puolistrukturoituja haastatteluja. Väitöskirjassa tutkittiin rakennustyöntekijöitä, jotka olivat muuttaneet Yhdistyneisiin arabiemiirikuntiin Intiasta, Pakistanista, Bangladeshista ja Kiinasta. Tutkimuksessa todettiin, että ihmisarvoisen työn käytäntöjä koskevat indikaattorit ovat kytköksissä työntekijöiden omaan kulttuuriin. Väitöskirja paljastaa lisäksi, että Yhdistyneisiin arabiemiirikuntiin muuttaneiden rakennustyöntekijöiden kansallinen kulttuuri ei vastaa Hofsteden neljä vuosikymmentä sitten määrittämää kansallista kulttuuria. Intialaisilla rakennustyöntekijöillä havaittiin voimakasta epävarmuuden välttämistä, pakistanilaisilla työntekijöillä voimakasta maskuliinisuutta, bangladeshilaisilla työntekijöillä vähäistä pitkän tähtäimen orientaatiota ja individualismia ja kiinalaisilla rakennustyöntekijöillä puolestaan havaittiin voimakasta individualismia ja pitkän tähtäimen orientaatiota. Tutkimus osoittaa, että kulttuurieroja hallitsemalla voitaisiin edesauttaa hankkeiden viemistä onnistuneesti päätökseen, mikä puolestaan hyödyttäisi maahanmuuttajien lähtömaata ja isäntämaata sekä itse maahanmuuttajia ja heidän perheitään. Tutkimuksessa tutkittiin lisäksi, miten ihmisarvoisen työn käytännöt eroavat Yhdistyneissä arabiemiirikunnissa ja maahan muuttaneiden rakennustyöntekijöiden kansallisessa kulttuurissa (mikä puolestaan ilmenee kulttuurisessa käyttäytymisessä). Tämän eroavaisuuden ja rakennustyöntekijöiden kulttuurisen käyttäytymisen tutkimisella on taloudellisia ja yhteiskunnallisia vaikutuksia rakennustyöntekijöihin sekä maahanmuuttajien lähtö- ja tulomaihin

This work deals with the data migration during the process of mergers and acquisitions. The first, theoretical part, defines the general terms concerning mergers and acquisitions, further mentions motives that may lead to it, and the basic stages of the implementation process of mergers and acquisitions. This section also presents brief information on selected methodologies of project management, of which principles are used in the next part, dealing with data migration projects. The aim of this work is to develop a methodology for project management of data migration in mergers and acquisitions process, which may serve as a guide for merging companies and data migration teams. In the methodology there are specified activities and defined procedures to be followed in the various stages of the project life cycle. To each activity the way and necessary prerequisites for carrying out are specified. The methodology also describes common problems with which the data migration project in carrying out the action may be faced and which could threaten the success of the project or its part. For each potential problem a possible way to eliminate it is added, or solutions.

The purpose of this project is to help a growing company reform their static information system to a dynamic system compatible with growth. The solution consists of migrating the legacy system that they have in FileMaker to an open technology platform. To solve this specific problem “patterns” have been used and this project explains these general solution “patterns”. We understand patterns like a generic solution to persistent design problems. General solutions will not only be useful in this specific problem, but they will be useful in all kind of similar migration projects as well. This thesis gives a detailed explanation of how to apply these patterns into the AEMI specific problem and how they can be useful in the migration process. The solution of the problem then, is following the advice of “patterns” to achieve our goals; these goals are the requirements that are given from the company supervisor. After the migration process a redesign process must be done in order to organize the information. This redesign consists of organizing the migrated information as well as adding the new information in the correct place. This thesis focuses on the process of migrating from a legacy system to a MySQL system through the use of the generic solution called “patterns”. The final result is a MySQL database with all the old and new information together in a more adaptable platform for the company’s scalability.

Cette recherche porte sur les stratégies adaptatives de l'individu en situation de migration temporaire. Le séjour migratoire est envisagé comme une transition durant laquelle l'individu est amené à s'inscrire dans le milieu d'accueil. L'appropriation sélective de l'espace urbain est un processus de construction de ressources sociales en situation de migration transitoire. L'adaptation a été opérationnalisé au travers des valeurs permettant de conférer un sens au séjour et de la trajectoire de vie perçue sur l'ensemble de la période migratoire. L'enquête porte sur 225 femmes des Philippines travaillant comme aide à domicile à Hong Kong. Les résultats mettent en évidence différentes stratégies adaptatives au sein même de la communauté migrante. La pratique d'un cadre d'insertion donné varie selon la période de séjour dans la ville d'accueil et le projet migratoire global, et renforce l'identité particulière des groupes qui le fréquente et contribue à leur homogénéité interneIn order to identify relevant variables for the study of psychological adjustments in temporary migration, we carried out an investigation in Hong Kong among women from the Philippines working as Domestics Helpers for local families. In-depth interviews were carried out with women in various community settings to find out how they made sense of migration experience. Recurring themes among participants were (i) migrant life paths, i. E, expectations for the future in light of past life experiences in the country of origin and the present living conditions in the host city, and (ii) migrant imagery, i.

L’approche interdisciplinaire choisie a permis d’aborder la question sous l’angle sociologique et communicationnelle en prenant en compte les aspects politiques et géographiques. La migration des africains subsahariens vers la Turquie est associée au renforcement des contrôles aux frontières externes notamment européennes qui favorise la construction de nouvelles routes migratoires et nouveaux pôles de transit. Ce renforcement des contrôles frontaliers conduisent les migrants à reformuler leur projet migratoire. Dans ce contexte de migrations irrégulières, cette thèse cherche à comprendre comment les migrants approprient les TIC et quel est rôle de celles-ci dans la construction et le maintien des réseaux sociauxThis thesis intends to question the role of ICTs in the evolution of the migration project of the sub-Saharan African migrants in Turkey. The interdisciplinary approach adopted in this thesis allowed to examine the question under sociological and communicational point of view by taking into account the political and geographical aspects. The migration of African sub-Saharan towards Turkey is associated with the reinforcement of controls at the external border, particularly in Europe, which favors the appereance of new migratory roads and new transit hubs. This reinforcement of border controls leads the migrants to reformulate their migration project. In this context of irregular migrations, this thesis intends to understand how the ICTs are appropriated by migrants and what is the role of these technologies in the construction and the maintenance of the social networks

To reverse the emergency environmental degradation of Ordos, Inner Mongolia, China, the localgovernment enforced a new developing project – Eco-migration, which aims at bothenvironmental restoration and poverty alleviation. Within ten years’ time, more than 400,000 ruralresidents were relocated. Through professional training and labor transportation, the financialcondition was largely improved. The annual income of these eco-migrants was highly raised from0.2 USD a day in 2000 to 3.51 USD a day in 2010. From the environmental perspective, morethan 70 percent of the sandy wasteland was restored. The vegetable coverage jumped up to 75percent, comparing to 30 percent in 2000. Through field study, the feedbacks from theseeco-migrants were collected. Eco-migrants were highly satisfied with the economic andenvironmental improvement. However, there are lots of improvements can be done. In one word,that’s the way the government trying to achieve the goal of sustainable development, whichproviding valuable experience for future.

Full textAbstract:
L'objectif de cette thèse est de reconstruire les séquences génératives de comportements migrants dans des contextes donnés. J'ai concentré le travail d'analyse sur deux groupes de migrants d'origine italienne: les Piémontais et les Siciliens. J'ai ainsi détaillé les différences entre immigration « de proximité » (Piémontaise) et de « longue distance » (Sicilienne). Une présence ancienne ou récente en pays d'immigration détermine-t-elle des perceptions différentes des migrants dans les pays d'accueil? Quelles en sont les répercussions sur leurs trajectoires ? Les questions auxquelles ce travail cherche à répondre concernent le rôle des migrations pour les différents acteurs. J'ai voulu adopter le pluriel -les migrations italiennes -afin de mettre en évidence cet aspect souvent peu souligné par les travaux sur « l'immigration italienne » en France, mais qui peut aider à comprendre plus finement les processus migratoires, les liens avec le lieu d'origine, ainsi que l'insertion dans les pays d'immigration. J'ai abordé ces questions par le biais des trajectoires familiales, afin de comprendre la genèse des migrations. J'ai voulu privilégier la dimension processuelle, dynamique et historique du phénomène migratoire, afin de montrer les tâtonnements, les incertitudes et les revirements de trajectoires certes individuelles, mais insérées dans un entrecroisement de relations qui partent du village d'origine pour s'étendre au niveau internationalThe objective of this thesis is to rebuild the generative sequences of migrant behaviors in contexts given. I concentrated the work of analysis on two groups of migrants of Italian origin: the Piedmontese one and Sicilians. I thus detailed the differences between immigration "of proximity" (Piedmontese) and "long distance" (Sicilian). Does an old or recent presence in immigration country determine perceptions different from the migrants in the host countries? Which are the effects on their trajectories? The questions which this work seeks to answer relate to the role of the migrations for the various actors. 1 wanted to adopt plural - the Italian migrations - in order to highlight this aspect often little underlined by work on "Italian immigration" in France, but which can help to include/understand the migratory processes more finely, bonds with the place of origin, as well as insertion in the immigration countries. 1 tackled these questions by the means of the family trajectories, in order to include/understand the genesis of the migrations. I wanted to privilege processual, dynamic dimension and history of the migratory phenomenon, in order to show the gropings, uncertainties and the reversaIs of trajectories certainly individual, but inserted in an intersection of relations which leave the village of origin to extend to the international level

Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of the thesis is to introduce a method for data migration quality assurance or completeness and accuracy testing of migrated data. Method will become part of the knowledge base of Deloitte Czech Republic for projects in the Enterprise Risk Services department. Data migration quality assurance projects carried by Deloitte in the Czech Republic have its own specifics. Although there exists methodology "Systems Development Playbook" which also includes a data migration methodology, the problem especially of the Prague branch is the fact that the procedures and methods for consulting projects in the area of data migration are not described in current methodological documentations including specifics of the Czech and Slovak projects. This represents a risk of inconsistencies in the implementation of this type of consulting projects in case of key employees leaving. Improving procedures and optimization of human resources engagement in data migration projects can't be measurably compared among projects, if there don't exists a basic methodology against which specific projects can be measured. The objectives of the work are achieved by consolidating experience from past projects involving data migration within Deloitte Czech Republic and designing improvement of existing processes by integrating information from external sources and internal sources of the global Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu.

Full textAbstract:
À travers les parcours, les expériences et les projets migratoires de migrants ouest-africains rencontrés à Nouadhibou en Mauritanie, cette thèse aborde les problématiques relatives à la construction des mobilités entre aspirations individuelles et réglementations nationales et internationales. Des récits de vie de migrants et des biographies migratoires permettent de reconstruire les parcours complexes des migrants arrivés à Nouadhibou et de comprendre que les expériences et les projets migratoires sont des constructions complexes, hybrides et labiles. La perspective de l'acteur, les analyses interactionnistes et le point de vue de l'autonomie sont replacés dans le contexte de l'évolution générale des politiques migratoires vers plus de restriction. Cette confrontation entre plusieurs cadres et plusieurs échelles de l'analyse des phénomènes migratoires permet de remettre en question la notion de transit dans sa dimension performative. Cette thèse entend replacer les expériences des migrants ouest-africains en Mauritanie dans une réalité plus « ancrée », plus « incarnée », s'approchant ainsi d'une réflexion sur les inégalités liée à la mondialisationBetween 2005 and 2007, few thousands of African migrants left the West African Coast of Mauritania, particularly from the small harbour town of Nouadhibou and accosted the Canary Islands. Nowadays, as migration politics tend towards more and more restrictions, Nouadhibou has soon become the center of an unexpected attention from media and European institutions. Nonetheless, immigration exists in Nouadhibou since the early XXth century, it is still today an attractive place for labour migration and migrants coming to Nouadhibou don’t only leave to the Canary Islands. Considering that migrants are forced to stay in a place that is not their final destination, International institutions and States called this phenomenon « transit migration ». Our aim is to shed the light on the blurred and politicized concept of transit. Questioning closely the notions of itineraries, experiences and projects led us to deepen our understanding of mobility in the context of a restrictive legal and policy framework. Long-term field and ethnographic methods such as narrative biography and life histories allow us to consider the experience of mobility as a threshold. Finally we try to understand the impact of blurred motilities on the local society in Nouadhibou, a way of examining globalization dynamics impacts in local places

Mestrado em Desenvolvimento e Cooperação Internacional.A presente dissertação visa uma categoria de migrações forçadas relativamente pouco estudada - os deslocamentos forçados induzidos por projectos de desenvolvimento - que afectam, anualmente, cerca de 10 milhões de pessoas. Estes atingiram tal dimensão e frequência que requerem a atenção da comunidade internacional, bem como soluções políticas e humanizantes. Os seus efeitos são essencialmente sentidos nos países em desenvolvimento, pelas pessoas social e economicamente mais desfavorecidas. Embora o desenvolvimento económico seja necessário para melhorar as condições de vida das populações, o deslocamento forçado que, por vezes, implica pode-se traduzir em substanciais e multifacetados riscos de empobrecimento para as pessoas afectadas, limitando as suas próprias opções de vida. Ser deslocado pelo desenvolvimento tem sido considerado como um sacrifício necessário em nome do interesse superior da nação, expressão utilizada pelos Estados para justificarem os deslocamentos forçados. Contudo, as pessoas forçadas ao deslocamento por iniciativas de desenvolvimento, frequentemente, não beneficiaram delas. Este estudo procura enquadrar e analisar as principais questões desta problemática, abordando o seu enquadramento teórico no contexto das migrações forçadas, a sua natureza, causas e consequências. As orientações internacionais e políticas aplicáveis ao realojamento forçado, as limitações da análise custo/benefício dos projectos de desenvolvimento, e ainda, as contribuições teóricas para a concepção de programas de realojamento adequados, constituem questões centrais desta temática. A ausência de reconstrução dos meios de subsistência dos milhares de pessoas desenraizadas e forçadas ao deslocamento pode conduzir ao agravamento da pobreza, criando um ambiente propício para a resistência, uma questão igualmente importante neste debate. Embora o objectivo primário seja, no contexto dos deslocamentos forçados, encontrar soluções alternativas que minimizem o deslocamento, sempre que o mesmo for inevitável, deve ser abordado como uma oportunidade para reduzir a pobreza das populações realojadas, melhorando as suas condições de vida e partilhando os benefícios do projecto que as obrigou ao deslocamento. Esta questão é um problema global de desenvolvimento e de direitos humanos, obrigando os governos e a comunidade internacional a adoptarem soluções e a assumirem responsabilidades de acordo com as normas internacionais vigentes. A capacidade reivindicativa dos movimentos de resistência é cada vez maior na tentativa de resistir ao realojamento ou de obter melhores condições para o realojamento. O deslocamento não é contudo uma consequência inevitável do desenvolvimento, assim como o realojamento não implica necessariamente empobrecimento. Melhores condições de vida, novos direitos e empowerment podem traduzir-se nos resultados de uma estratégia de realojamento com desenvolvimento.
The study concerns with a relatively understudied category of forced migration development-induced displacement. Over 10 million people are displaced by development projects each year. Displacements have reached a magnitude and frequency that gives to this issue a worldwide relevance and requires policy-guided and humanized solutions. The effects are felt essentially over developing countries and amongst socially and economically vulnerable groups. While economic development is essential to improve people^ living conditions, in those instances where displacement is unavoidable, it may results in substantial and multifaceted risks of impoverishment for the affected people, restricting their abílity to make life choices. Displacement has been viewed as a sacrifice to be made for the greater good of the nation, which is generally used by States to justify forced displacement. People displaced by development initiatives have usually not benefit from them. This paper intends to frame and analyse the key debates on development-induced displacement in developing countries, opening with a theoretical approach to forced migration, its nature, causes and consequences. The international guidelines and policies that apply to resettlement, the limitations of cost-benefit analysis applied to development project and the theoretical contributions for an appropriate resettlement programme are also main issues. The absence of livelihood reconstruction affecting the millions who have been displaced and disrupted may lead development to create poverty rather than alleviating it, thus creating the enabling environment for resistance, a major issue within the development-induced displacement debate. Although goal, should be to find alternatives that cause minimal displacement, when unavoidable, displacement should be treated as an opportunity to proactively reduce the poverty, improving livelihoods and ensuring that people displaced are treated equitably and can shares the benefits of project that requires their resettlement. Development induced displacement has become a global human rights and development problem, urging governments and international community to find solutions and to think about their responsibilities with respect to displacement in light of international standards. Resistance movements are increasing either to resist resettlement implementation or to gain advantage for improving resettlement projects. Displacement is not an inevitable consequence of development project and resettlement does not necessarily results in Impoverishment. Improved livelihoods, new rights and empowerment could become a major outcome of a resettlement with a development strategy.

Full textAbstract:
Ces dernières années, la vague de retours au pays d’origine des descendants de migrants burkinabè nés et/ou ayant passé une grande partie de leur enfance en Côte d’Ivoire s’est intensifiée, notamment en ce qui concerne les jeunes scolaires et les étudiants. Dans le contexte burkinabè, le vocable « diaspo » est utilisé pour les désigner. Cette recherche porte sur la situation de ce groupe de jeunes burkinabè venus de Côte d’Ivoire, pour poursuivre leurs études supérieures au Burkina Faso. Ils appartiennent le plus souvent à la deuxième et à la troisième génération de migrants burkinabè en Côte d’Ivoire. Ce travail analyse leurs trajectoires sociales et scolaires, en essayant de montrer comment leurs itinéraires sont divers, non linéaires et multidirectionnels. L’histoire de chaque retour met en scène, à travers l’étudiant « diaspo », une multiplicité de sphères (familiale, économique, universitaire) et de logiques migratoires. L’étude vise à faire ressortir ces logiques qui structurent les parcours des descendants de migrants, en regard de l’histoire migratoire de leurs parents, primo-migrants. Dans la mesure où l’acte de retour implique plusieurs acteurs et, en premier lieu, la famille, la décision du retour au pays d’origine apparaît comme un processus à long terme, qui peut se faire sous l’injonction des parents, sur les conseils d’une personne extérieure à la famille, par l’influence des pairs, etc. C’est dans ce contexte que le rôle de l’étudiant « diaspo » devra être analysé.Le contact avec le pays d’origine situe les « diaspo » dans un rapport inégalitaire avec ceux qu’ils viennent trouver « sur place », c’est-à-dire « les premiers occupants », en particulier leurs pairs nés et restés au pays. Cette rencontre fait apparaître des distinctions entre les Burkinabè de « l’intérieur » et ceux (re)venus de « l’extérieur ». Les descendants de migrants burkinabè subissent le paradoxe d’une société burkinabè qui développe en eux le sentiment d’être étrangers à la fois dans leur pays de naissance (Côte d’Ivoire) et dans leur pays d’origine (Burkina Faso).Face à cette situation, ces jeunes développent des logiques de distinctions (individuelles et/ou collectives) et d’affirmation de soi, par lesquelles ils parviennent à prendre le contrôle de leurs réseaux d’appartenance et à se rendre visibles dans les espaces universitaires (cité, campus, restaurants) et dans le monde social ouagalais. Ce sont des réseaux multiformes, allant des syndicats étudiants aux partis politiques et autres organisations de la « société civile burkinabè », en passant par les associations étudiantes et religieuses. Ces espaces de rencontre sont des lieux d’entraide et de solidarité et ouvrent à diverses formes de rétributions symboliques et matérielles attendues. L’investissement dans l’univers de la débrouille, en plus d’être un moyen de survie et d’autonomisation, introduit les « diaspo » dans l’apprentissage des rapports sociaux au Burkina, dans une dynamique d’insertion sociale par le bas. Ces pratiques expriment un besoin de reconnaissance de soi et de son expérience migratoire. Le projet migratoire, qui se décline alors en plusieurs facettes, en plus des études, est sans cesse soumis à des réajustements au long du parcours en fonction des contextesIn recent years the number of people who originated from Burkina Faso and who have been returning there after migrating to Ivory Coast or being born and raised there, has been increasing sharply; and this is particularly true of school children and students. The Burkinabe use the term “diaspo” to describe them. Present research concerns the situation of this group of youths from Burkina Faso returning from Côte d’Ivoire to go to the university in Burkina Faso. They are usually second and third generation descendants of migrants to Côte d’Ivoire. This work analyses their social and schooling course which is diverse, non-linear and multidirectional. These returning “diaspo” students illustrate numerous situations (family, economic, education) and migratory rationales. The study aims at underlining the reasoning that underlies the actions of these descendants of migrants and in particular pertaining to the migratory history of their parents, the primary migrants. Since returning implies several actors starting with family members, the decision to return to the native country appears as a long term process influenced by the will of parents, the advice of other persons, the influence of their peers etc., hence the need to analyse the “diaspo” student’s role.Contact with their country of origin places the “diaspo” on an unequal footing with those already there, i.e. the “first occupants”, in particular their peers born in the country and who stayed there. This coming together exposes the differences between Burkinabe from the “interior” and those coming or returning from outside. The descendants of the Burkinabe migrants are subject to the paradox of feeling like strangers both in the country in which they were born (Côte d’Ivoire) and their country of origin (Burkina Faso).Given this situation, these young people develop reasons (individual and/or collective) to stand out and assert themselves and by doing so manage to take control of the networks of their peer group and to make themselves visible in their university life (city, campus, restaurants) and in Ouaga’s social world. These networks are multiple, comprising student unions, political parties and other “organisations of Burkinabe civil society”, as well as student and religious associations. These forums to meet open up the possibility for solidarity and helping through symbolic and practical contributions towards their needs. Investment in the world of resourcefulness is not only a means of survival and self-sufficiency, it also initiates the “diaspo” to the Burkinabe social relationships through a dynamic process that starts from the bottom. These doings express the need for acknowledgement of one’s self and of one’s migration experience. The migratory project which, not-with-standing the studies, presents many profiles, is subject to constant adjustments all along the course of events and is dependent on the contexts

Objective of this project was the study of interaction processes between humic substances, U(VI), Np(V) and kaolinite KGa-1b. It contributed to the attainment of a better process understanding, the improvement of the knowledge on the interaction of humic substances and metal ions and the enhancement of the thermodynamic database. With a synthetic humic acid (HA), N-containing functional groups of HA were characterized by 15N-NMR spectroscopy. Based on these results, model studies of the influence of amino groups on the complexation behavior of HA were performed. Spectroscopic studies with amino acids show that the amino group do not contribute to the U(VI) complexation at pH 4. The impact of kaolinite on the formation of HA and humic substance-kaolinite-sorbates was studied in model syntheses. The results exhibit that the presence of kaolinite during the syntheses mainly influences the yields on HA and their elemental compositions. Synthetic humic substance-kaolinite-sorbates were isolated. Under exclusion of CO2, the U(VI) complexation by HA was investigated at pH 7 by means of the conventional time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy (TRLFS) and TRLFS with ultrafast pulses. Complexation parameters for the ternary complex UO2(OH)HA(I) were determined. Studies of the Np(V) reduction in presence of HA with different functionalities under anaerobic conditions have shown that Np(V) is reduced to Np(IV) by HA. The redox capacity depends on the HA functionality. Applying a modified HA it was verified that phenolic/acidic OH groups play a dominating role in the Np(V) reduction. The influence of HA on the U(VI) and Np(V) sorption onto kaolinite was investigated in batch experiments. In dependence on the experimental conditions, HA effects the sorption and consequently the mobility of U(VI) and Np(V). From studies of the U(VI) sorption onto synthetic humic substance-kaolinite-sorbates it was concluded that the structure and functionality of sorbed/associated humic substances considerably influence the sorption behavior of U(VI). The structure of U(VI)-kaolinite-surface complexes in presence of HA was studied by means of X-ray absorption spectroscopy and TRLFS and compared to those of U(VI)-kaolinite-complexes. Investigations of the migration of HA and U(VI) in the laboratory system kaolinite-water were carried out in diffusion experiments. The migration of HA in compacted clay is governed by diffusion and influenced by its colloidal properties. Humic substances exert an immobilizing effect on the U(VI) transport in compacted kaolinite.

enterprise of investors and traders within Portugal as well as that of Portuguese citizens
abroad. Utilizing various historical methods and a number of documentary sources, our
work goes beyond national borders and the study of direct relations to examine, in depth,
the flow, movement and immigration of commerce, finance and people. These three
subjects are developed in a broad geographic frame of increasing integration within which
men, money and products circulated and where governments and individuals conceived of

Full textAbstract:
Due to an increased flow of refugees over the past few years, affairs of refugees have caught increased attention. The aim of this thesis is to analyze the integration process of an earlier group of quota refugees who came to rural Iceland in 1998, from former Yugoslavia. Eighteen years have passed and the refugees’ views of entering and living in Icelandic society will help to understand the process of integration and the role of migration in an ever-changing social context and in times of rapid globalization. The study aims to explore two questions: 1) How did the life events of the refugees affect their integration processes? 2) How did transnational practices impact the integration processes? In-depth interviews were carried out and a life course perspective was the method used for obtaining the refugees’ stories and life experiences, and to investigate their integration processes. The analysis draws on the theories of integration, life course perspective, transnationalism and social networks. This study indicates that transnational practices are beneficial for the lifetime project of integration. Access to an extended social network of relatives and co-ethnics also plays a crucial role. Another important element for integration is the feeling of normal life, supported by a feeling of security in the physical, economic and institutional sense.

Full textAbstract:
Cette recherche s’intéresse plus particulièrement aux espaces traversés, aux espaces d’attente, et aux espaces habités par des hommes et des femmes colombiens au cours de leur voyage migratoire vers la France et une fois qu’ils sont à Paris. La thèse repose sur une enquête ethnographique réalisée entre 2009 et 2014 en France et en Colombie. Cette enquête multi située a mis en évidence que les circulations des migrants partis de Colombie peuvent être fragmentées et interrompues ; leurs trajectoires ne sont pas linéaires et fluides. Elles sont faites de ruptures, de bifurcations et d’attentes qui échappent au contrôle des acteurs. La recherche montre que face aux contraintes externes dont ils sont dépendants, les pratiques de « débrouille » individuelles et collectives elles-mêmes imbriquées à des réseaux sociaux transnationaux, facilitent la circulation d’un pays vers l’autre et la réorientation des projets migratoires. Ces réseaux sont surtout familiaux, mais pas exclusivement. Ils peuvent être constitués d’étudiants de troisième cycle comme de réfugiés, de passeurs (« tramitadores ») ou de voyageurs qui cherchent à traverser les frontières et se rapprochent de manière aléatoire et ponctuelle (dans une zone d’attente ; dans un foyer à Paris). Les enquêtes ont montré également que les représentations et les pratiques sociales des migrants entraînent des mutations éphémères ou durables des espaces parisiens où ils se retrouvent selon des modalités diverses. La culture culinaire, par exemple, qui est à la base d’une économie formelle et informelle, se matérialise dans des espaces urbains quotidiens (restaurants et épiceries du quartier Père Lachaise ou des Batignolles), ainsi que dans des lieux où se déroulent des événements sporadiques (célébrations politiques, rencontres sportives au bois de Vincennes). Les analyses confirment le rôle notable que jouent les migrants dans les transformations morphologiques d’un quartier, la tonalité d’une rue ou dans la finalité d’un lieu de loisir ; de ce point de vue l’anthropologue peut les considérer comme les architectes de leurs paysages migratoiresThis thesis studies the crossed spaces, the waiting spaces and the spaces inhabited by Colombian men and women throughout their migratory journey to France, and once they are in Paris. The thesis is supported by an ethnographic research between 2009 and 2014 in France and Colombia. This multi-sited ethnography showed that the circulation of migrants who have left Colombia can be fragmented and interrupted. The trajectories of migrants are far from being linear and fluid; they are crossed by ruptures, bifurcations and expectations that escape the control of the actors. The research shows that in face of external difficulties, the individual and collective practice of "rebusque" (resourcefulness) imbricated in transnational social networks, favor the reorientation of migratory projects and the circulation of actors from one side of the Atlantic to the other. These networks are usually made up of family members, but also of graduate students, refugees, passers-by (“tramitadores”), or travelers who try to cross borders and meet in a rapid and random manner. The research also showed that the representations and social practices of the migrants produce ephemeral or lasting mutations of the Parisian spaces. The culinary culture, for example, on which rests a formal and informal economy, is materialized in everyday urban spaces (restaurants and shops in the Père Lachaise or Batignolles neighborhoods), as well as sporadic events (political celebrations, sports tournaments in Vincennes forest). The analysis confirms the major role of migrants in the morphological transformations of a neighborhood, in the aspect of a street, or in the uses of a place of entertainment; from this point of view, the anthropologist can consider them as architects of their migratory landscapes

Las trayectorias de los y las migrantes, lejos de ser lineales y fluidas, están atravesadas por rupturas, bifurcaciones y esperas que escapan al control de los actores. La investigación muestra que frente a dificultades externas, las prácticas de “rebusque” individuales y colectivas imbricadas en redes sociales transnacionales, favorecen la reorientación de los proyectos migratorios y la circulación de los actores de un lado al otro del Atlántico. Estas redes son principalmente familiares, pero también se constituyen alrededor de estudiantes de postgrado, de refugiados, de paseros, o de viajeros que intentan cruzar las fronteras y se encuentran de manera puntual y aleatoria. La investigación también mostró que las representaciones y las prácticas sociales de los y las migrantes producen mutaciones efímeras o durables de los espacios parisinos. La cultura culinaria, por ejemplo, sobre la cual reposa una economía formal e informal, se materializa en espacios urbanos cotidianos (restaurantes y tiendas de los barrios Père Lachaise o Batignolles), así como en aquellos donde se desarrollan eventos esporádicos (celebraciones políticas, torneos deportivos en el bosque de Vincennes). Los análisis confirman el rol mayor que juegan los y las migrantes en las transformaciones morfológicas de un barrio, en el aspecto de una calle, o en los usos de un lugar de esparcimiento; desde ese punto de visa la antropología puede considerarlos como arquitectos y arquitectas de sus paisajes migratorios

Full textAbstract:
La présente thèse aborde la question de la migration de retour sous l’angle peu commun du transfert de connaissances, au travers de la création d’entreprise, susceptible d’être novatrice, dans l’hypothèse où l’expatriation du migrant qualifié, aux fins de formation supérieure dans un pays comparativement plus développé, peut être l’occasion pour celui-ci de maîtriser un savoir ou un savoir-faire profitable à la mise en place d’affaires à plus forte valeur ajoutée dans son pays d’origine. De plus, notre travail ambitionne de pouvoir au final renseigner sur des approches opportunes pour la mobilisation des compétences diasporiques, –en faveur d’investissements servant par exemple les plans d’émergence industrielle de ce pays d’origine qu’est le Maroc– au travers de recommandations basées sur notre revue de la littérature théorique et empirique, appuyée par une étude de terrain originale et une analyse formalisée de ses résultats, suivant une démarche hypothético-déductive prédictive. Ceci, en vue de contribuer à faire face à cette rareté des études qui, comme la nôtre, font appel aux variables qualitatives (ouvertes) plus riches –pour une compréhension en profondeur du sujet– mais aussi plus complexes à traiter et à interpréter que celles se limitant aux variables quantitatives. Il s’agit ainsi, d’étudier une tranche de la diaspora marocaine de France et son degré de contribution au développement socio-économique du Maroc, de par son potentiel entrepreneurial souvent synonyme d’une plus grande valeur ajoutée à ce pays en développement, grâce aux qualités propres à cette tranche. La problématique a, en effet, pour population cible : les diplômés et étudiants originaires du Maroc qui préparent ou qui ont fait des études supérieures et/ou disposent d’une qualification professionnelle acquise en France, et dont l’éventuel projet de retour serait associé ou pas à une création d’entreprise. L'objectif recherché est donc l'étude du retour, lié à la probable intention d’entreprendre, et delà celle des variables explicatives pouvant affecter cette décision et/ou ce choix positivement ou négativement, en en repérant les incitations et les freins par l’examen d’un échantillon représentatif qui nous permettra de faire ressortir les motivations et contraintes mais aussi les opportunités qui se présentent à un candidat au retour au pays et qui serait éventuellement porteur d’un projet de création d’entreprise innovante ou non au MarocThis thesis addresses the issue of return migration, in the unusual terms of knowledge transfer through business creation, which may have the potential to drive innovation from the host to the home country, in the event that the expatriation of skilled migrant, for the purpose of achieving higher qualification in a comparatively more developed country, may be an opportunity for this migrant to master knowledge or know-how beneficial to value added businesses development in its country of origin. Our work also aims to provide guidance on formulating appropriate approach for mobilizing diaspora entrepreneurship to promote economic growth and development (that could, for example, be in harmony with the Moroccan national plan for industrial emergence) through recommendations, based on critical review of the theoretical and empirical literature, supported by an original field study and its formal analysis results, using an hypothetico-deductive approach, associated with econometric modeling for predictive purposes by simulations. In an attempt to contribute to fill the lack of studies, like ours, that take the challenge of making use of (open-ended) qualitative variables richer –for a deeper understanding of the subject– but also more complex to treat and interpret than quantitative variables. So, we study a portion of the Moroccan diaspora of France and its degree of contribution to the socio-economic development of Morocco, through its entrepreneurial potential, that may be synonymous with greater added value in this “developing” country thanks to the unique qualities of this portion. The problem statement, or thesis, has indeed as target population: graduates & students originating from Morocco who prepare or have completed graduate studies and /or have a professional qualification acquired in France, and whose return project may or may not be associated with starting a business in Morocco. The aim is the study of return linked to the probable intention to undertake a business project, and therefore the examination of explanatory variables that could affect, positively or negatively, this decision and/or choice, by identifying its incentives and brakes through the analysis of a representative sample that will allow us to highlight motivations and constraints, but also the opportunities that present themselves to a candidate for return who is possibly bearer or not of an innovative business creation project in Morocco

Full textAbstract:
Les Chinois du Nord arrivés à Paris à la fin des années 1990 présentent des caractéristiques atypiques et se démarquent du profil « classique » des migrants économiques comme de celui des Chinois du Sud, majoritaires en France. Ces urbains quadragénaires -dont 70 % sont des femmes, surtout divorcées - ont quitté le pays où ils étaient en passe de perdre leurs statuts favorisés en tant qu'employés et cadres des entreprises d'Etat ou entrepreneurs. A travers les récits de vie recueillis au cours d'un terrain ethnographique mené en France et en Chine sur une période de dix années de 2004 à 2014, ce travail retrace leurs parcours bien avant leur départ et analyse leurs raisons de migrer temporairement et de manière isolée. Le suivi des modifications de leurs projets migratoires sous-tend l'analyse et permet de tenir compte des différents niveaux de tensions provenant des contraintes macro et méso structurelles liées aux réformes en Chine puis à leur statut de migrants allophones sans-papiers en France, comme des attentes familiales ou individuelles. En France, leurs parcours professionnels et sociaux dans le sas d'entrée offert par les réseaux sinophones soulignent les tensions entre migrants chinois. Les processus de différenciation et de relégation qui sont à l'origine de leur insertion au plus bas des hiérarchies sociales propres à ces réseaux, amènent à interroger l'idée de communauté chinoise à Paris et de diaspora. Les dynamiques de pouvoir, de structuration des groupes en migration et les effets d'exclusion provenant des structures légales françaises, articulent les processus de déqualification et d'assignation à des critères de genre et sont à l'origine d'un renversement des hiérarchies sociales en migration. Les parcours se caractérisent par une division sexuelle du travail mais également des tactiques de débrouillardise lorsqu'ils investissent les marges de la société française. L'apprentissage de nouvelles normes de genre, propres aux réseaux chinois et à la société française, amène en particulier les femmes vers les emplois du care (domesticité, prostitution), ou le mariage avec un homme local. Malgré une mobilité sociale limitée, la construction d'identités transnationales leur permet de résister aux différents types de déclassement à la fois en Chine et en migration et témoigne de leurs capacités d'agencyThere has been a new wave of Chines arrivals since the end of the 1990s in France. These migrants are different from the typical figure of economic migrants and the majority of Chinese already settled in France. Most are middle-aged city dwellers who used to belong to middle stratum of rather privileged state enterprise employees and entrepreneurs in northern China. A majority (70%) is female, mostly divorced. They had to leave China as their privileged social status came under threat by the new elite supported by the government. Based on a longitudinal ethnographic work in France and in China, this study traces these migrants' trajectories long before their departure and analyses their motivations for leaving China temporarily. Focusing on the shifting of their migration projects provides an insight into the ways they handle tensions and adapt to macro and meso structural constraints either those resulting from economic reforms in China or from their irregular status in France. In the process they do not give up their individual or family expectations. In France, their social and professional careers reflect the tensions among Mandarin speakers' networks. Processes of marginalization and othering lead to their integration at the very bottom of these networks' social hierarchies. This situation raises question about the existence of a Parisian 'Chinese community' and 'Chinese diaspora'. Power relations and groups' dynamics in the migration context and dynamics of exclusion resulting from French legislation, give rise to two cumulative processes leading to a sharp reversal of previous hierarchies : deskilling and ascription of gendered stereotypes to migrants. Indeed, migrants' trajectories reveal a drastic sexual division of labour but also in the same time resourceful tactics with which they invest margins of French society. They have to adapt to new gender norms, both among the Mandarin speakers networks and in the French society. Women have hardly other alternative but to work in the domestic sector and some of them turn to prostitution or marry a local. In spite of their limited social mobility they find resource in a transnational social field. It helps them resist different forms of downward social mobility, either in China or in migration. The construction of strategic multi-positionality attests to the agency of North Chinese migrants in Paris

The objective of this project was to study the influence of increased salinities on interaction processes in the system radionuclide – organics – clay – aquifer. For this purpose, complexation, redox, sorption, and diffusion studies were performed under variation of the ionic strength (up to 4 mol/kg) and the background electrolyte.
The U(VI) complexation by propionate was studied in dependence on ionic strength (up to 4 mol/kg NaClO4) by TRLFS, ATR FT-IR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations. An influence of ionic strength on stability constants was detected, depending on the charge of the respective complexes. The conditional stability constants, determined for 1:1, 1:2, and 1:3 complexes at specific ionic strengths, were extrapolated to zero ionic strength.
The interaction of the bacteria Sporomusa sp. MT-2.99 and Paenibacillus sp. MT-2.2 cells, isolated from Opalinus Clay, with Pu was studied. The experiments can be divided into such without an electron donor where biosorption is favored and such with addition of Na-pyruvate as an electron donor stimulating also bioreduction processes. Moreover, experiments were performed to study the interactions of the halophilic archaeon Halobacterium noricense DSM-15987 with U(VI), Eu(III), and Cm(III) in 3 M NaCl solutions.
Research for improving process understanding with respect to the mobility of multivalent metals in systems containing humic matter was focused on the reversibility of elementary processes and on their interaction. Kinetic stabilization processes in the dynamics of humate complexation equilibria were quantified in isotope exchange studies. The influence of high salinity on the mobilizing potential of humic-like clay organics was systematically investigated and was described by modeling.
The sorption of Tc(VII)/Tc(IV) onto the iron(II)-containing minerals magnetite and siderite was studied by means of batch sorption experiments, ATR FT-IR and X-ray absorption spectroscopy. The strong Tc retention at these minerals could be attributed to surface-mediated reduction of Tc(VII) to Tc(IV). An influence of ionic strength was not observed.
The influence of ionic strength (up to 3 mol/kg) and background electrolyte (NaCl, CaCl2, MgCl2) on U(VI) sorption onto montmorillonite was studied. The U(VI) sorption is influenced by the background electrolyte, the influence of ionic strength is small. Surface complexation modeling was performed applying the 2SPNE SC/CE model. Surface complexation constants were determined for the NaCl and CaCl2 system and were extrapolated to zero ionic strength. Surface complexation in mixed electrolytes can be modeled applying surface complexation constants derived for pure electrolytes.
The influence of citrate on U(VI) diffusion in Opalinus Clay was studied using Opalinus Clay pore water as background electrolyte. The diffusion parameter values obtained for the HTO through-diffusion and the U(VI) in-diffusion in the absence of citric acid were in agreement with literature data. In the presence of citric acid, U(VI) diffusion was significantly retarded, which was attributed to a change in speciation, probably U(VI) was reduced to U(IV).
Larger-scale heterogeneous material effects on diffusive transport were investigated with PET. Diffusion parameters were derived by optimum fit of a FEM-model to the measurement. These parameters are in accordance with the results from 1D-through-diffusion experiments. Deviations from the simple transversal-isotropic behavior, which are identified as residuals from the model, are indications for heterogeneous transport on the mm-scale.
PET measurements were also conducted in order to display the improvement of the EDZ with waterglass injections. These experiments enable to draw conclusions on the complex reactive transport process and thus an estimation of the achieved improvement of the barrier function. The image reconstruction procedure was largely improved, mainly with the aid of Monte-Carlo simulations, and now allows quantitative analysis and error estimation.
