Full textAbstract:
The central concern of this study is to determine the role of return migration in the changing economic and noneconomic determinants of state in-migration. It was hypothesized that the transition from primarily economic to noneconomic determinants of in-migration in the United States in the last decade was directly related to changes in the components of the migration stream itself; that is, that an increasing proportion of return migrants in the in-migration stream contributes to the movement toward noneconomic reasons for migrating.
This study compares the selective characteristics of lifetime and five-year non migrants, and primary, secondary and return migrants using Public Use Sample data for 1960, 1970, and 1980. In addition, it analyzes four economic and six noneconomic determinants of migration for 1970 and 1980 usinq a data set that includes published data on state migration and socioeconomic characteristics.
An analysis of the selectivities of migration has both supported and rejected existing literature. In a comparison of migrants and non migrants, migrants tend to be younger, better educated persons from white collar occupations with higher incomes and smaller households than non migrants. When migrant types are compared, return migrants tend not to be as well off as other migrants socioeconomically. They tend to have lower education, come from blue collar occupations, have larger households, be a little older and have less income than other migrants. The most significant finding is the distinction of five-year from lifetime nonmigrants.
The regression analysis on the determinants of state in-migration reveals that there has been a shift from economic to noneconomic reasons for migrating from 1970 to 1980. In addition, the relative proportion of primary, secondary and return migration has changed over time. Contrary to the hypothesis, however, the trend from economic to noneconomic determinants of migration has not been related to changes in the proportion of return this study points to the relationship migration in the stream. Rather, further research that investigates between secondary migration and the changing determinants of state in-migration.<br>Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
The ability to migrate a virtual machine (VM) from one physical host to another is important in a number of cases such as power management, on-line maintenance, and load-balancing. The amount of memory used in VMs have been steadily increasing up to several gigabytes. Consequently, the time to migrate machines, the total migration time, has been increasing. The aim of this thesis is to reduce the total migration time. Previous work aimed at reducing the amount of time and disk space required for saving checkpoint images of virtual machines by excluding data from the memory that is duplicated on the disk of the VM. Other work aimed at reducing the time to restore a VM from a checkpoint by only loading a subset of data before resuming the VM and marking the other memory as invalid. These techniques have been adapted and applied to virtual machine live migration to reduce the total migration time. The implemented technique excludes sending duplicate data that exists on disk and resumes the VM before all memory has been loaded. The proposed technique has been implemented for fully virtualized guests in Xen 4.1. The results of research conducted with a number of benchmarks demonstrate that there is an average 44% reduction of the total migration time.

Full textAbstract:
In many countries, migration is a high priority in both the public and political debate. Countries face continuous challenges to attract, retain and integrate migrants in their societies. In recent years, the economic crisis, the refugee crisis and the surge of populist movements and xenophobic violence have exposed countries to even bigger challenges. It is therefore crucial to understand what governments and societies can do to transform migration phenomena into opportunities for both destination and origin countries. In my dissertation I investigated empirically three topics in the economics of migration. First, the role of certificate recognition for the labor market integration of high-skilled migrants and the effects of a policy that facilitated certificate recognition for all immigrants. Second, the brain drain phenomenon and the effects of a policy that introduce tax incentives to return migration for high-skilled young Italian emigrants. Third, return intentions and labor market behaviors of immigrants, and the effects of home country socio-political conditions on these two outcomes. The dissertation aims at contributing to the growing literature on the economics of migration with novel findings on specific policies and channels, and to the policy debate on migration and integration policies.

Full textAbstract:
Les migrations intérieures en Chine sont régulées par le système du Hukou. Celui-ci distingue la population rurale de la population urbaine et matérialise le droit d’accès aux biens publics du lieu d’enregistrement. Deux types de migration sont à distinguer selon que l’individu a pu convertir/ transférer ou non son Hukou en déplacement : migration permanente et migration temporaire. Notre recherche adopte donc une approche dichotomique et comparatiste en vue d’avoir une vue plus intégrale de la migration intérieure en Chine.D’abord, nous nous interrogeons sur les déterminants du choix de la localisation. Le résultat économétrique montre que la migration temporaire est plus déterminée que la migration permanente par les caractéristiques du marché du travail (salaire et chômage). Par ailleurs, les afflux de l’IDE et le développement de l’entreprise rurale représentent un attrait significatif pour les migrants temporaires, contrairement aux migrants permanents. L’autre remarque consiste dans l’attraction des régions autonomes de minorité à l’égard des migrants permanents.Ensuite, nous nous demandons si les deux types de migration créent des différences en termes de profils individuels et d’insertions professionnelles des migrants. Les permanents sont plus qualifiés que les natifs urbains alors que les temporaires sont loin derrière. Quant aux insertions professionnelles, deux indicateurs sont choisis : accès à l’emploi et rémunération. Les temporaires gagnent de 14 à 20% de moins, même si les attributs du capital humain sont contrôlés. Sans discrimination institutionnelle, ils verraient leur proportion dans l’auto-recrutement baisser de 34 %, alors qu’elle augmenterait de 11% pour l’employé et de 50% pour l’ouvrier, toutes choses égales par ailleurs. Or, les permanents sont beaucoup mieux insérés. Ils connaissent seulement une légère discrimination salariale, mais une « discrimination positive » pour l’accès à l’emploi par rapport aux natifs.A la fin de la thèse, nous nous intéressons aux rationalités du système du Hukou. D’une part, la ville d’accueil se sert du Hukou, grâce à la migration permanente, pour attirer les facteurs de production dont elle a besoin : capital et travail qualifié. D’autre part, elle peut bénéficier de la main-d’oeuvre de moindre coût, sans assumer les coûts sociaux à travers la migration temporaire. La Chine en a retiré des gains considérables, tels que la sécurité alimentaire, l’industrialisation à faible coût et la diminution du chômage urbain. Mais les coûts du maintien de ce système sont devenus plus préoccupants à l’heure actuelle, dans la mesure où il renforce la disparité économique, restreint la demande intérieure et forme une attention insuffisante sur les droits et l’égalité. C’est pourquoi nous proposons des mesures de réforme en insistant sur le rôle du gouvernement central<br>In China, internal migrations are governed by the Hukou system. This system distinguishes between rural and urban residents and gives citizens' right to public service of the place of registration. We distinguish two types of migration depending on whether the individual was able to convert/transfer his/her Hukou during his/her moves: permanent and temporary migrations. This study will adopt a dichotomous and comparatist approach so as to have a more comprehensive view of internal migrations in China.First of all, we will analyze the determining factors of location purposes. The econometric result suggests that, compared to permanent migration, temporary moves are caused by variations in the labour market (wages, unemployment). Furthermore, the FDI inflows, and EVB (village enterprise) development are great incentives for temporary migration unlike permanent migration. Another observation is related to the attractiveness of autonomous minority regions for permanent migrants.Secondly, we wonder if both types of migration generate some differences in the individual profiles and the integration of workers. Permanent migrants are more qualified than urban residents, while temporary migrants are far behind them. As far as vocational integration is concerned, two indicators have been selected: access to employment and wages. The temporary workers earn 14 to 20% less than the others; their ratio in self-recruitment would otherwise be 34% lower but it would be 11% higher for the employee and 50% for the worker, all things being equal. On the other hand, the permanent migrants are only faced with low wage discrimination, and to a “positive discrimination” as far as access to employment is considered.At the end of the thesis, we will focus on the rationale of the Hukou system. The host towns resort to the Hukou system to attract permanent migrants in order to obtain the production factors they need: investment and skilled labour. Through temporary migration, they can take benefit from low-cost manpower without accepting the social costs. It is obvious that China has substantially gained by the contemporary Hukou system: food security, low-cost industrialization, and control over urban unemployment. However, the cost of maintaining it is increasingly worrying since it reinforces economic disparity, reduces domestic demand, and causes the policy to depart from aim of right and equality. In this case, it will be an opportunity to propose reforms while emphasising the role of the central government

L'étude que nous avons présentée ici se compose de deux parties. Dans la première, nous nous sommes efforcé de montrer que le mouridisme est une confrérie hégirienne africaine en donnant une idée générale de l'émigration, dans la vision islamique à travers la migration arabo-berbère en Afrique de l'Ouest, et son rôle dans la pénétration et les différentes voies d'expansion de l'Islam dans cette zone. L'étude relate aussi le contexte dans lequel est né le mouridisme, ses principes de base fondateurs, et le rôle des mouvements migratoires internes dans son expansion à travers le pays qu'il a vu naître. Nous y avons abordé ensuite l'évolution prospective du mouridisme après Cheikh A. Bamba. La seconde partie s'intéresse quant à elle à la présence musulmane en Europe occidentale et aux Etats-Unis, notamment aux conditions de vie quotidienne des mourides par le biais de leurs activités économiques, socioculturelles et religieuses, entre autres dans ces deux zones géographiques. Nous avons examiné ici, dans ce volet, les problèmes liés à l'insertion des musulmans en général, et à celle des mourides en particulier, ainsi qu'aux conséquences de l'émigration de ces derniers pays dans leur pays d'origine. Et nous avons terminé cette étude par une conclusion générale portant sur les résultats obtenus à l'issue de notre démarche<br>The study we are presenting here consists of two parts and a general conclusion : in the first part we have tried to show that Muridism is an hegirian African brotherhood, giving a general idea of emigration from an Islamic point of view, considering Arabo-Berberan migration in West Africa, and its role in the expansion of Islam as well as historic conditions of life under which Muridism was born, and its evolution after Cheikh A.

Full textAbstract:
The focus of this thesis is on intellectuals trained as academics in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland who have settled in Australia during the 1980s and 1990s. The study explores the major issues influencing these migrant intellectuals in their decision to migrate to Australia.
The study concentrates on two crucial phases of the migration process as articulated by Demuth (2000a), the starting or decision making phase, and the sojournal phase when migrant intellectuals have more (or less) settled in their new country. Focus on these two phases allows exploration of why some intellectuals decide to emigrate, whilst others (in apparently similar circumstances) decide to remain, and why some intellectuals settle permanently in their new country, whilst others after a period of living away, repatriate.
The actual research, then, was carried out both in East Central Europe and in Australia. Intellectuals in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland were interviewed, and academic literature was explored to ascertain the position and status of intellectuals in East Central Europe before and after 1989, the year of major social and political transformation in the region. Interviews in Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland dealt specifically with the views of intellectuals on emigration - whether they had contemplated emigration themselves and their opinions on the motives of others emigrating or returning.
Within the Australian context, this research involves examination of Australian immigration policies in relation to university educated immigrants, and analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with academics from Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland who have settled in Australia. East Central European emigration trends and Australian immigration policies are discussed jointly to gain a general sense of the context in which the interviewed academics migrated. The interviews conducted with East Central European academics encompass issues relating to their current circumstances in Australia, their experiences with diverse university cultures, how they interpret their biographies and construct relationships with their countries of origin by means of maintaining links with their former colleagues and academic institutions in East Central Europe. Interviews also explore the possibility of repatriation.
This study provides an insight into the current position of intellectuals in East Central Europe and how this position is viewed by East Central European academics settled in Australia. It is proposed in the thesis that the social role of intellectuals in East Central Europe has declined after 1989, and that this has influenced the intellectual identity of both intellectuals who remained in East Central Europe and those who immigrated to Australia.

Ces competences vont d'une aide au developpement d'une legislation et d'une reglementation appropriees, a l'instauration et a la gestion de cadres institutionnels operationnels pour administrer des programmes de migration coherents. L'organisation inaugure une approche ordonnee des migrations au sein de la communaute internationale en imprimant un rythme regulier aux mouvements, contrastant avec les turbulences provoquees par les flux de refugies sur tous les continents, transferts dont elle a toujours assume les charges et la maitrise, de concert avec d'autres organisations internationales specialisees. D'abord en amerique latine, ensuite en afrique et en asie, l'organisation installe des programmes pour combattre l'exode des cerveaux, en incitant le retour des competences; elle propose des programmes de migration selective, l'envoi d'experts integres ou associes, le retour d'anciens exiles qualifies, agissant comme autant de facteurs multiplicateurs sur l'emploi, sur la cooperation technique entre pays en developpement, sur le developpement des secteurs prioritaires. L'oim a l'ambition de s'approcher du systeme des nations unies, d'agir de plein concert avec - et souvent comme agent d'execution - des organisations regionales, et de devenir l'organisation de reference et le forum mondial en matiere de migration internationale.

La thèse cherche à comprendre comment les pays pauvres à forte émigration tentent de tirer parti de la migration pour favoriser le développement, a travers d'une étude de cas sur le Burkina Faso. Cela implique d’enquêter sur l’élaboration des politiques au fil du temps, et sur les lacunes en matière de discours et d’application, tant au niveau national que régional en Afrique. Si de nombreux éléments constitutifs des politiques visant à faciliter la mobilité intrarégionale sont en place, aucun progrès substantiel n’a été accompli pour leur ratification et mise en oeuvre au cours de la dernière décennie. Lors de l'analyse de "l'échec" des politiques migratoires, il est important de prendre en compte à la fois les ‘capacités’ et ‘aspirations’ des décideurs, en réinscrivant la migration dans le phénomène plus général du changement social. Cette recherche révèle un changement du paysage politique en Afrique, mais qu’il y du chemin à parcourir avant que la migration ne devienne une politique «élevée» dans les États d'origine<br>This thesis adds to the research conducted on the nexus between migration and development, by introducing an analysis of migration management by sending states and its link with poverty reduction and inclusive growth. Sending country initiatives for equal access to migration, or how structures impact agency, have been largely overlooked. The thesis hence revisits the so-called migration divide, which has been analyzed as a consequence of restrictive immigration control in the global north, by adding i) regional dimensions, ii) an inclusive growth approach and iii) a sending state perspective. It seeks to explore how poor high-emigration countries are attempting to leverage migration for development, with a case study on Burkina Faso. This means investigating policy-making throughout time and more particularly policy gaps in discourse and implementation, both at the national and regional level across Africa. While many of the legislative and policy building blocks for facilitating intra-regional mobility in Africa are in place, their ratification and implementation have been limited during the last decade. When analyzing the ‘failure’ of migration policies, it is thus important to consider both the ‘capabilities’ and ‘aspirations’ of policy-makers in sending states, reinscribing migration within the wider phenomena of social change. This research reveals a general change in the policy landscape in Africa in regard to migration and development, however we still have a long way to go before migration becomes ‘high’ politics in sending states

In order to understand how integration in the labour market occurs and to provide some suggestions to improve the governmental documents, the concepts of securitization of migration and transnationalization of migration were used as analytical frameworks. The Pilot Project chosen is <em>Pilotverksamhet med etableringssamtal och etableringsplan – Uppdaterad projektplan med mål och riktlinjer för den utvidgade försöksverksamheten </em>based on the Proposition <em>2009/10:60</em> ”<em>Nyanlända invandrares arbetsmarknadsetablering – egenansvar med professionellt stöd”. </em>The research questions are 1) which questions are left aside from the Proposition and which are possible suggestions to the questions found? 2) How are the interviewees and the Pilot Project/Proposition affected by securitization of migration and transnationalization of migration? Furthermore, suggestions to improve the proposition were discussed. Interviews with primary and secondary stakeholders were also carried out. This analysis was carried out together with the results of the field work in Kronoberg (focused on residents of Araby, Arbetsförmedlingen and Växjö Kommun) in the view of the concepts of securitization and transnational migration issues. The method of this research is qualitative with an abductive approach. The result of this study indicates a number of issues to be improved in the Proposition document before the law be promulgated by the government, as well as some issues that hinder the integration process of the primary stakeholders. Reflection for future studies concerning the influence of securitization and transnationalization phenomena, as well as suggestions to improve people’s integration processes are presented in the conclusion of this study. </p><p>Keywords: Arbetsförmedlingen, Araby, county, immigration, integration, international migration, municipality, Kommun, policy, Proposition, securitization, Sweden, Swedish, Växjö</p>

Full textAbstract:
Migration has been a significant part of the cultural fabric of the Caribbean islands for centuries. The process began with the discovery and conquest of the islands by European colonials, followed by the forced migration of African slaves and the importation of indentured labourers from the East. Since the mid twentieth century, however, Caribbeans have been leaving the islands. Recent census data from Trinidad and Tobago show that the out-migration of women to the global North has exceeded that of men. This research examines the migration of women from the twin-island state of Trinidad and Tobago. Drawing upon interviews with 25 female Trinidadian migrants, the study explores migration to Britain and the United States. I initially seek to answer the why question, by analysing the decision-making process in international migration, and then how women migrate and adapt to a new country and culture. Moreover, I compare migration from Trinidad and Tobago to Britain and the United States, highlighting major similarities and differences in terms of education, race, and employment, which led skilled professional women to migrate to Britain legally while domestic workers settled in the United States illegally. Additionally, I challenge the idea of the forgotten child by presenting a more holistic view of the implications of migration for the left-behind family. I propose that we need to think in terms of a reordering of the Caribbean family unit rather than seeing it, as is common, as a disordered, chaotic institution. I found that the main motivation for women to emigrate is ‘self-sacrifice’ and altruism. Migrant women are disadvantaged and susceptible to various forms of discrimination. Despite this, I argue, women are determined to ‘make it’ through migration in the interest of their families, and they demonstrate their resilience in enduring difficulties in order to create a better future for themselves and their children.

The main thesis of this study is that migration is an integral component of the major processes of structural change in a country. As such, migration should not be studied in isolation from the historical and evolving patterns of development of the country. In their specific forms and magnitudes, migration processes are patterned movements of human populations within and between territorial units. The important point to stress here is that these movements are a response to, and at the same time, conditions the economic and social forces which affect significant sections of a community.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1980s, the narrative of international migration was significantly altered in Europe. This thesis examines how this new narrative was brought about by policy-makers and shows how the narrative re-configured our understanding of international migration. Empirically, the focus of the thesis is the Inter-Governmental Consultations on Asylum, Refugee and Migration Policies in Europe, North America and Australia (IGC). These consultations are situated in the context of debates in the 1970s and 80s concerning ‘free-market conservatism'. The thesis argues that these debates comprised the conditions of possibility for the emergence of an 'informal plurilateralism'. Through thus far confidential memos between high ranking public servants, summaries distributed across embassies, background papers, minutes of meetings and personal letters, I trace the development of an altered discourse and the construction of a new figure: the ‘illegal migrant'. ‘Migration Management', I argue, is best seen as a hegemonic paradigm which embodies a tool-box of mechanisms for governments to deal with international migration; introduces a distinctive way of treating human mobility; prescribes specific ways of constructing migrants, including a minority of illegal migrants who remain just outside of the European external boundaries, stripped of their juridico-political status. As such, these migrants are suspended from the community of those with a place and function. The figure of the suspended migrant points to the disappearance of the political, understood as a space where public encounter of the heterogeneous is possible. This raises crucial questions about what democracy is, how it works and how the political can be realised in a climate where the logic of necessity and efficiency has filled the space previously occupied by bipolar grand-narratives. Most urgently, it raises questions about the way in which the value of a human being is established, granted or denied. Arendt and Rancière help me to start addressing these questions.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation analyzes narratives of queer partner migration, that is, a family-tie migration in which one of the partners of a relationship has migrated in order for the partners to be together, and where the partners queer the migration in the sense that they have a non-normative sexuality and/or gender identity. The purpose of the study is to examine how queer partner migrants and their Swedish partners experience the migration process – which continues also once the administrative process has been completed – by analyzing the emotions and feelings that emerge in the process. The study is a contribution to research on privileged migration as well as intimate migration. The focus is the queer partner migration relationship, and what emotions and feelings ‘do’ to this relationship, but also how emotions and feelings structure the migration process. The study analyzes the work three different emotions – love, loss, and belonging – do in these migration processes, and how this work is described in the participant narratives. Migrant participants have migrated from different parts of the world (Africa, Europe, Latin America, and North America), making it possible to analyze what emotions and feelings do in this particular migration process from the point of view of nationality and, in particular, proximity to ‘Western-ness,’ race, and language as well as how privileges connected to these positions come to matter in the process. The dissertation is an ethnographic interview study in which both migrants and Swedish partners have been interviewed. The interview material consists of a combination of couple interviews and individual interviews. By using affect theories and the concept of queer phenomenology, the dissertation shows how the work that emotions and feelings do in migration processes is connected to gender identity, sexual identity, race and whiteness, nationality, perceived proximity to Western-ness, class, language, and the migration narrative the migrating partner is (or is not) written into by way of the country they have migrated from. This is analyzed in relation to the theoretical frameworks of entanglement, homonationalism, and intimate citizenship. The analysis shows that emotions and feelings structure the migration process for both more privileged and less privileged migrants, but in different ways. The understanding of who ‘is’ a migrant, and the preparedness for the feelings that arise in a migration process, are tied to the positions mentioned above and the privileges these positions give, or do not give, the migrant access to. By focusing on emotions and feelings and what these do, the study also illustrates how the migration process affects the non-migrating partner as this partner engages in emotional labour to ‘make’ the migrating partner ‘Swedish.’ Through their the migrating partner, the non-migrating partner is also aligned in a way that makes them a little bit less ‘Swedish,’ contributing to the non-migrating partner being ‘stopped’ in ways they have usually not experienced before. The study further shows how migration processes produces inequality, and the difficulties that arise when the couples try to live up to the Swedish ideal of the equal relationship. The interviews are analyzed as narratives, and both narratives and storytelling are important throughout the dissertation, not only as the method used in the analysis but as the form of the dissertation, making it a kind of super structure organizing the writing. Writing (how to write accessibly and interesting) and reading (how to write in order to invite an open and active reading) are important aspects of the dissertation.<br>Avhandlingen analyserar narrativ om queer partnermigration, dvs en familjebandsmigration i vilken en av de två personerna i ett parförhållande migrerar för att de två ska kunna leva i samma land och i vilken de två individerna queerar migrationen på så sätt att de har en icke-normativ sexualitet och/eller könsidentitet. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur queera partnermigranter och deras svenska partners upplever migrationsprocessen – vilken pågår även efter att den administrativa processen är avslutad – genom att analysera de känslor som uppstår i processen. Studien är ett bidrag till forskning om så väl privilegierad migration som intim migration. I fokus står det queera partnermigrationsförhållandet och vad känslor ”gör” med detta förhållande, men också hur känslor strukturerar migrationsprocessen på olika sätt. Studien analyserar det arbete tre olika känslor – kärlek, förlust och tillhörighet – gör i migrationsprocessen och hur detta arbete beskrivs i deltagarnas narrativ. Migrantdeltagarna i studien kommer från olika delar av världen (Afrika, Europa, Latinamerika och Nordamerika), vilket gör det möjligt att analysera vad känslor gör i den här specifika migrationsprocessen utifrån nationalitet, och specifikt närhet till västerländskhet, ras och språkbakgrund samt hur privilegier kopplade till dessa positioner spelar in i processen. Avhandlingen är en etnografisk intervjustudie där både migranter och svenska partners har intervjuats. Intervjumaterialet består av en blandning av parintervjuer och enskilda intervjuer. Genom att använda affektteorier och queer fenomenologi visar avhandlingen hur det arbete känslor utför i migrationsprocesser är kopplat till könsidentitet, sexuell identitet, ras och vithet, nationalitet, upplevd närhet till västerländskhet, klass, språk och det migrationsnarrativ den migrerande partnern är inskriven i (eller inte) genom det land den migrerat från. Detta analyseras i relation till de teoretiska ramverken trassel (entanglement), homonationalism och intimt medborgarskap. I analysen framkommer att känslor strukturerar migrationsprocessen för både mer privilegierade och mindre privilegierade migranter men på olika sätt. Förståelsen av vem som ”är” en migrant och beredskapen för de känslor som uppstår i migrationsprocessen är till stor del kopplade till de positioner som nämns ovan samt de privilegier migranten har tillgång till genom dessa. Genom att fokusera på känslor och vad dessa gör visar studien också att migrationsprocessen påverkar den icke-migrerande partnern genom att denna förutsätts utföra känsloarbete för att ”göra” den migrerande partnern ”svensk.” Samtidigt blir den icke-migrerande partnern själv, genom sin migrerande partner, riktad på ett sätt som gör den lite mindre ”svensk”, vilket bidrar till att också den icke-migrerande partnerns liv ”stoppas” på sätt den vanligtvis inte tidigare upplevt. Studien visar vidare på hur migrationsprocesser producerar ojämlikhet och de svårigheter som då uppstår när paren försöker leva upp till det jämlika svenska idealförhållandet. Intervjuerna är analyserade som narrativ och både narrativ och berättande är genomgående viktiga i avhandlingen, inte bara som metod utan också som avhandlingens form och en slags struktur som organiserar texten. Skrivande (att skriva tillgängligt och intressant) och läsande (att skriva på ett sätt som inbjuder till öppet och aktivt läsande) är viktiga aspekter i avhandlingen.

Full textAbstract:
L'imagerie sismique 3d de structures géologiques complexes nécessite l'utilisation de techniques d'imagerie avant sommation, celles dites après sommation étant inadaptées dans ce cas. La migration profondeur avant sommation est une technique qui permet en effet d'imager avec précision des structures complexes pour peu que l'on dispose d'un modèle de vitesse du sous-sol suffisamment précis. La détermination de ce modèle de vitesse est donc un élément clef de l'imagerie sismique, et à cette fin, des méthodes d'analyse de vitesse de migration ont suscité un grand intérêt ces dernières années. . . La méthode Smart utilise un détour par le domaine migré profondeur avant sommation pour l'extraction de l'information cinématique multi-deport difficilement accessible dans le domaine temporel. Une fois effectuée l'interprétation des données sismiques migrées en profondeur avant sommation, une technique de démigration cinématique des évènements interprêtés permet de construire une base de données cinématiques (c'est-à-dire des temps de trajet en réflexion) cohérente. L'inversion de ces temps de trajet, au moyen d'une tomographie de réflexion, permet alors une détermination précise du modèle de vitesse. Afin de pouvoir véritablement appréhender l'imagerie de structures géologiques où l'aspect 3d prédomine, nous avons étudié la mise au point de l'analyse de vitesse de migration en 3d dans le contexte de la méthode Smart, et plus généralement, nous avons élaboré des techniques permettant de surmonter les difficultés intrinsèques aux aspects 3d de l'imagerie sismique. . . Nous considérons d'abord le domaine d'imagerie par déport, qui constitue encore à l'heure actuelle la stratégie la plus couramment utilisée pour la mise en oeuvre de l'analyse de vitesse de migration. Nous nous intéressons en particulier à un problème important : l'influence des irrégularités d'acquisition sur la qualité des images migrées en profondeur. . . L'influence, sur la qualité des images migrées, d'un échantillonnage spatial non uniforme des données est, quant à elle, bien plus importante que celle liée aux variations de déport : le calcul de la superposition des images migrées associées à chaque point milieu requiert l'utilisation d'une véritable formule d'intégration numérique. Nous étudions les formules de quadratrure basées sur une interpolation polynomiale de la fonction à intégrer. Nous préconisons d'utiliser l'interpolation d'Hermite si nous sommes intéréssés en premier lieu par les variations d'amplitude dans le cas de structures à faible pendage, et l'interpolation de Lagrange (qui est en théorie moins précise que celle d'Hermite mais qui s'avère être plus robuste) pour l'imagerie de structures relativement complexes. . . Nous nous intéressons à une technique originale de migration volumique profondeur avant sommation qui est relativement peu coûteuse en temps de calcul. Le domaine d'imagerie est celui des ondes cylindriques. Une telle migration s'applique à des jeux de données provenant d'acquisitions marines standard. Afin de pouvoir utiliser cette technique d'imagerie pour la mise en oeuvre de la méthode Smart 3d, nous avons mis au point la démigration cinématique de données ondes cylindriques migrées. Nous justifions sur le plan théorique la technique de démigration proposée et la validons à la fois sur un jeu de données synthétiques et sur un jeu de données réelles de Mer du Nord.

Full textAbstract:
Gender discrimination is a world-wide matter, it is the consequence of the type of violence that is built into structures and effectively deprives women from basic liberties and opportunities (Baliamoune-Lutz, 2013:01-02: Galtung, 2015:181). As many women cannot stay in their countries because of ongoing conflicts, poverty, persecution and their position in the society, -exactly the same reasons prevent them from leaving. At the time that poverty and conflicts have driven a massive increase in global migration, it has become a most urgent topic in question (IMR, 2017:04). The prolonged gender discrepancy by granted residence permits has been a social phenomenon lacking national recognition in Sweden. This study reveals how large the gender discrepancy in Swedish migration is and how the opportunities for women are developing. A more detailed review of women’s opportunities by categories of residence permits between 2009 and 2017 reveals the deficiencies on gender disparity in Swedish migration and acknowledges the main causes. It is suggested by this study that the measured and identified indifferences are translated into women’s needs and provided with structural interventions to improve the currently existing conditions of the opportunities for women in Swedish migration. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the importance of gender disparity by the opportunities for women in Swedish migration. The empirical research investigates women’s opportunities and development on obtained residence permits between the years 2009 and 2017. Method: This study is of inductive methodology using a grounded theory. The systematic collection of data and discovered patterns have been linked to theories of gender discrimination. Data: The used method is a cross-sectional study of more than one case with the interest of variation by the usage of quantifiable data and variables; the material is collected from the Swedish migration agency and sorted into 1,052,654 cases by gender, category of residence permits and year. Result: The result of this statistical research showed that Women are less likely to have a residence permit by all categories but one in Sweden. Over the past nine years women have been underrepresented by granted residence permits by each year and in total with 44.8% and the share is continuing to decrease. The study also revealed that the vast majority of migrants originated from developing and least developing countries where women are exposed to a considerably higher degree of gender discrimination. The gender discrepancy by obtained residence permits in Sweden is somewhat similar to the emigration in developing and least developing countries. As women outnumber men by 51.5% of the total immigration stock in industrial countries, in developing and least developing countries, women make up for only 45.6% of the total immigration stock. Gender discrimination is presumably the contributing factor to the gender discrepancy in Swedish migration. It is suggested by this study to implement structural interventions by increasing the share of the category family reunification in order to obtain an equal distribution of women and men by obtained residence permits.

This study assesses effects of contextual and personal characteristics on the migration propensities of individuals, with primary focus on several measurements of individual poverty status and the poverty level of the residential areas. The restricted opportunity perspective on poverty, the human capital perspective and the microeconomic perspective on migration, are the major frameworks guiding the study. Logistic regression analysis of data from the National Longitudinal Surveys of the Youth Cohort and from the 1983 County and City Data Book is employed to investigate differences in the Migration behavior between the poor and nonpoor, and significant main and interactive effects of the macrolevel and microlevel factors on the migration behavior of American youth. The major findings are: (1) youth living in areas with less employment opportunities are more migratory; (2) poor youth are less migratory than the nonpoor; and (3) the poor living in areas with less employment opportunities are least migratory. These findings are consistent when migration is classified into primary and repeat migration, but are not consistent across the ethnic groups.

Full textAbstract:
The purposes of this study are to examine migration disparities in primary, onward, and return migration by Hispanics, non-Hispanic black, and non-Hispanic white and to inspect the differences among the various types of migration. In addition, this study explores explanations of the migration disparities. These have been rarely studied because of a lack of proper migration data. This research employs the National Longitudinal Study of Youth (NLSY79) for a logistic regression of primary migration and for a hierarchical generalized linear model (HGLM) of the two types of repeat migration, namely onward and return. The results demonstrate that whites are more likely to make primary and onward migrations compared to blacks and Hispanics. But, with return migration, significant differences between whites and other minorities are not found. With respect to the contributors or explanations, this study indicates that the racial/ethnic migration disparities are not explained by socioeconomic status as opposed to explanations by human capital perspectives. The racial/ethnic disparities in migrations seem to be produced by discrimination and an unequal distribution of opportunities. Return migration presents several interesting different patterns compared with the other type migrations, including the effects of age and educational attainment. For return migration, old and less educated individuals have higher odds, showing reversed pattern of total, primary, and onward migration. The findings seem to indicate that different characteristics are involved in different types of migration.

Alam, Fazlul. "Social relations and migration : a study of post-war migration with particular reference to migration from Bangladesh to Britain." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 1995. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/585/.
Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to study the phenomenon of postwar migration both theoretically and empirically with a view to establishing relationships between social relations and migration. Migration is studied here within a conceptual framework of mode of production, relations of production, hegemony, and cash nexus. The historical aspects of migration are acknowledged throughout. The thesis then studies the theories of migration that are available and traces their developments. In this process, the thesis discovers ideology in many migration theories and literature. It selects three specific problematics of the postwar migration, named as 'zonal imbalance', 'mother country' migration, heavy representation of people who form lower SEGs. By examining these three closely, the thesis reveals many erroneous conception and notions about the postwar migration. In this process, the thesis rejects 'individualistic' and 'voluntary' actions in postwar migration. For the empirical part, Bangalee migration from Bangladesh to Britain has been chosen for its typicality and other reasons. Both quantitative and qualitative research methods have been used. Two control groups, one in Britain, (migrants) and another in Bangladesh (non-migrants, who had had the opportunity to migrate at some point in time, but did not) have been studied in as much depth as possible. The findings of the experience of the respondents are offered in relation to the historical evidence, particularly the relations of production in Bangladesh, and migration history of Bangladesh. Despite the basis of a small universe used in this research, international and historical persepectives have always been borne in mind. The objective remained the study of the totality of migration. Having taken the views of those who did not migrate (non-migrants) at a time when 'everyone was going', this research can claim to be a unique way of exploring a sociological phenomenon by negative investigation. The concluding part is in two chapters. In the first, the thesis has attempted to develop four new categories of migration to end the debate who can or cannot be called a migrant. It then exposes the myths of migration. Having established that socio-cultural transition migration, which is one of the four categories developed in this chapter, is the major concern of most migration studies, the thesis argues that a subtle process of 'branding' exists in the matters of encouraging migration to a country, whether the country is situated in the 'First World' or in the NICs. In fact, since '90s, the trends in the global population movements have changed so rapidly and radically that all older theories fail to explain the new phenomenon. The thesis argues that in order to understand 'migration', one has to study the changes that have occured in the social relations, emanating from changes in their relations of production. Finally, the thesis asserts that the phenomenon of human migration can possibly be explained within the conceptual framework chosen. It concludes that social relations play a major role in migration and offers a definition towards developing a sociological theory of migration.

Using a mixed-methods approach, I interviewed 30 Mexican immigrants with unauthorized immigration experience about the process of gathering migration information in the pre-migration phase. Qualitative data were coded using seven themes generated from the primary research questions, including: Information Resources, Resources Used During Migration, Motivation for Migration, Method of Migration, Lack of Information/Misinformation, Types of Help and Types of Information. Findings suggest that the factors motivating migrants to come to the U.S. are combined in complex ways and lack of information about legal alternatives to unauthorized migration is an important factor influencing method of migration. Also, while access to new information resources is increasing, these resources are not being tapped for migration information.

Full textAbstract:
This qualitative study uses heuristic inquiry to investigate the unique journey of 21 registered nurses (RN) who migrated from the United Kingdom (UK) to Perth in Western Australia (WA) between 2003 and 2008. The study explores the reasons for migration as well as the professional, social and psychological impact on each participant and their accompanying family during the first two years of settling in a new country.
In the contemporary climate of international nurse mobility, many employers are attempting to attract new employees, often with tantalising offers of an immediate visa and the enticement of a better climate and standard of living. Migration is costly financially and socially, with many nurses finding that the dream does not live up to the reality.
The purpose of this study is to search for the essence of the phenomenon of migration for RNs from the UK moving to WA, including the psychological and sociocultural adaptation experienced by the participants. With the focus being to capture the experience of UK migrant nurses in WA, heuristic inquiry was chosen as the research methodology, offering the researcher an opportunity to be included in the study due to personal experience as an RN migrating to WA in 2003.
The professional and personal challenges faced by the participants are examined in detail and offer an insight into the complicated and often frustrating process faced by UK nurses when migrating to WA. Three main themes were uncovered during the heuristic process: (a) making the move: finding a way; (b) new life: fitting in; and (c) here to stay. Heuristic inquiry encouraged the development of a creative synthesis to represent the whole experience and resulted in my distinctive representation, Nurse migration: A model for success. This model is underpinned by the theoretical framework used to support the research, the work of Kingma who identified the main push and pull factors affecting the decision of nurses to migrate.
Three main coping strategies identified in this study were: (a) developing resilience; (b) finding a new professional identity; and (c) having the ability to adapt to a new life. Feelings of belonging were found to be necessary to make the move a success, with the need for new friends and a replacement family being a high priority for all participants. This study also highlighted many issues that need to be considered by future UK migrant nurses before embarking on such a massive upheaval to their professional and personal life. Policy makers and Australian employers must consider the total impact of migration upon the nurses they employ and investigate how they can improve conditions that may allow them to “live the dream” both professionally and personally.
