Moroccans and Ecuadorians in the Mediterranean litoral intensive agriculture

2002

Desde el final de los años 1990 hay cambios importantes en el panorama migratorio español. Entre éstos cabe destacar la llegada de nuevos colectivos y la generalización del fenómeno en regiones y en sectores económicos que hasta el momento no conocían la mano de obra extranjera. Entre los nuevos grupos sobresalen los ecuatorianos que ya son el segundo colectivo de extranjeros en España y que en ciertas zonas entran en competencia con los marroquíes. Esta situación se aprecia especialmente bien en las comarcas agrarias del litoral mediterráneo. Since the end of the 1990s, there have been significant changes in the Spanish migration scene. Among them it is important to highlight the arrival o…

Differential Greek and northern African migrations to Sicily are supported by genetic evidence from the Y chromosome

2009

The presence or absence of genetic heterogeneity in Sicily has long been debated. Through the analysis of the variation of Y-chromosome lineages, using the combination of haplogroups and short tandem repeats from several areas of Sicily, we show that traces of genetic flows occurred in the island, due to ancient Greek colonization and to northern African contributions, are still visible on the basis of the distribution of some lineages. The genetic contribution of Greek chromosomes to the Sicilian gene pool is estimated to be about 37% whereas the contribution of North African populations is estimated to be around 6%. In particular, the presence of a modal haplotype coming from the southern…

Condiciones de trabajo y salud en inmigrantes (Proyecto ITSAL): entrevistas a informantes clave

2009

Objetivo: Caracterizar colectivos de inmigrantes trabajadores en España y conocer sus condiciones de salud laboral mediante informantes clave. Método: Estudio cualitativo exploratorio-descriptivo con entrevistas en profundidad realizado en 2006. Se identificaron organizaciones, asociaciones y colectivos relacionados con la población inmigrante en Alicante, Barcelona, Huelva, Madrid y Valencia, y se seleccionaron los más accesibles y representativos. Se entrevistó a 43 informantes clave procedentes de 34 asociaciones u organismos. Se realizó un análisis narrativo del contenido. Resultados: Se señalan dificultades para el reconocimiento de los daños a la salud derivados del trabajo por las si…

Early human peopling of Sicily: Evidence from the Mesolithic skeletal remains from Grotta d'Oriente

2010

The site of Grotta d'Oriente, Island of Favignana, Sicily has yielded the complete skeleton of an adult female (OB) dated to the Mesolithic age. The cranial morphometry of this individual can provide us with some useful information about the peopling of Sicily in the Early Holocene period.Morphological affinities of OB and other Sicilian Mesolithic specimens were assessed to verify hypotheses concerning the early peopling of Sicily.Craniofacial metric data were employed in a comparative analysis with European Upper Palaeolithic (UP), Mesolithic, Neolithic, and Copper/Bronze age samples, and contemporary Italians. Both a model-free and a model-bound approach were used not only to calculate c…

Tazab, Haskoba, Fregata: emigracyjny biznes w Wielkiej Brytanii i wywiad PRL : lata 50. i 60. XX wieku

2014

During the first half of the 1960’s Polish immigrants in Great Britain owned approx. 3.5 thousand ventures. The immigration business structure was dominated by small companies, set on Polish customers, employing mainly Poles, the fastest developing branch were shipping companies. The direct contacts between the immigrants and the country contributed to creating Polish travel agencies. The PRL intelligence was trying to recruit the businessmen immigrants to become secret collaborators

Hepatitis C virus prevalence and level of intervention required to achieve the WHO targets for elimination in the European Union by 2030: a modelling…

2017

Background Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of liver-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. In the European Union (EU), treatment and cure of HCV with direct-acting antiviral therapies began in 2014. WHO targets are to achieve a 65% reduction in liver-related deaths, a 90% reduction of new viral hepatitis infections, and 90% of patients with viral hepatitis infections being diagnosed by 2030. This study assessed the prevalence of HCV in the EU and the level of intervention required to achieve WHO targets for HCV elimination. Methods We populated country Markov models for the 28 EU countries through a literature search of PubMed and Embase between Jan 1, 2000, and March 31, 201…

A Multidisciplinary Approach to the Analysis of Multifactorial Land Mammal Colonization of Islands

2013

A highly debated question that engages paleontologists, zoogeographers, and zoologists is how terrestrial mammals colonize islands. The question’s oversimplification and the subjective and partial responses to it have led to reductionist models. Insular faunas and fossil assemblages result from a complex interaction of geological, biological (in a broad sense), climatic, eustatic, taphonomic, and historical processes. Insular assemblages and their accompanying variables should be investigated on a case-by-case basis. In this article, we discuss not only common misconceptions and their potential origins but also the key issues that should be addressed when dealing with the colonization of is…

Ruralidad y políticas locales de integración: Estudio comparativo sobre las provincias de Alicante y Valencia

2013

Pese al asentamiento de un número significativo y creciente de migrantes inter­ a­ n cio­­­ nales en los municipios rurales de los países de rentas altas, existen pocos estudios sobre las políticas de sus autoridades locales en materia de diversidad cultural. Este trabajo pretende abrir el camino examinando algunos motivos teóricos y em­­­­­ ­ pí­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­ri­cos para pensar que los ayuntamientos rurales se diferencian de los urbanos en su pro­­­ sión a acomodar las prácticas culturales de los inmigrantes, así como en sus pen­ principales áreas de intervención. El análisis comparativo de 12 municipios de las provincias españolas de Alicante y Valencia sugiere que las políticas de integr…
