Filamentous fungi transported by birds during migration across the mediterranean sea.
2013
The potential for the transport and diffusion of some pathogenic microorganisms by migratory birds is of concern. Migratory birds may be involved in the dispersal of microorganisms and may play a role of mechanical and biological vectors. The efficiency of dispersal of pathogenic microorganisms depends on a wide range of biotic and abiotic factors that influence the survival or disappearance of a given agent in a geographical area. In the present study, 349 migratory birds were captured in four sites (Mazara del Vallo, Lampedusa, Ustica and Linosa), representing the main stop-over points during spring and autumnal migration, and analyzed for the presence of filamentous fungi. A total of 2,3…
Values, cities and migrations. Real estate market and social system in a multi-cultural city
2023
The book consists of seventeen papers in two parts. The first part, “Values and Relationship Systems in Multicultural Societies”, features how social sciences––including appraisal and valuation, urban planning, philosophy, psychology, and geography––take different approaches to studying values and relationships, converging to form a unified mosaic of complementary and interconnected knowledge. The second part, “Transformations, Permeability and Permanence of Values in Contemporary Multicultural Cities”, highlights the most crucial topics on which appraisals and models focus to interpret and represent the influence of migration on the real estate market in different urban and territorial con…
Macrophage migration inhibitory factor is critically involved in basal and fluoxetine-stimulated adult hippocampal cell proliferation and in anxiety,…
2011
Intensive research is devoted to unravel the neurobiological mechanisms mediating adult hippocampal neurogenesis, its regulation by antidepressants, and its behavioral consequences. Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine that is expressed in the CNS, where its function is unknown. Here, we show, for the first time, the relevance of MIF expression for adult hippocampal neurogenesis. We identify MIF expression in neurogenic cells (in stem cells, cells undergoing proliferation, and in newly proliferated cells undergoing maturation) in the subgranular zone of the rodent dentate gyrus. A causal function for MIF in cell proliferation was shown using genetic (M…
Vulnerability in Migration: The Applicability of European Recommendations, International Reports and Guidelines to the Italian System of Reception an…
2018
The European Parliament’s Report focuses on the integration processes for a particular category of refugees, considered as belonging to “vulnerable groups”, namely women seeking international protection and female refugees. Women seeking international protection or refugees, in fact, are bearers of demands and needs which, in part, are specific to all those people who, often forced to abruptly abandon their countries of origin, seek protection in host countries, bringing with themselves a heavy burden of persecution, war, violence and poverty. The humanitarian response along the routes of the eastern Mediterranean and the western Balkans has set as a priority the introduction of measures to…
AYLAN E COLONIA. DALLA GUERRA AI MIGRANTI AL RESPINGIMENTO DEI REFUGEES
2017
This contribution aims to shed light on the specific mechanism of migrant categorization implemented by the so-called «Hotspot approach», which was launched by the EU Agenda on Migration in May 2015. This approach is here envisaged as a response to the current changes in the composition of migration towards Europe. Provisions contained in EU and Italian policy documents are compared with concrete practices enacted on the ground by investigating two case studies: the initial opening of the Hotspot at Milo, in Trapani, and the first months of functioning of the Hotspot on Lampedusa. The empirical research covers the period between the last months of 2015 and the beginning of 2016. The short-t…
Intrauterine device migration into the bladder with stone formation after radiochemotherapy for cervical cancer: a case report
2020
Intrauterine contraceptive device (IUD) is one of the most frequently used contraceptive methods in the world. It is considered a safe and effective method of contraception. However, uterine perfor...
RETURN MIGRATION TRENDS IN LATVIA: RE-ATTRACTING THE MAIN HUMAN RESOURCE FOR SUSTAINABLE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT
2019
This study is devoted to the research of human resources as a main source of sustainable regional development in Latvia. It is focused on two key concepts of human capital and migration. The aim of the study is to explore return migration geographies by looking at young return migrants as a resource and preconditions for sustainable regional development essential to Latvia.Return migration to the regions of Latvia is examined by two main research questions. What are the most recent return migrant characteristics in Latvia? How does return migration of young Latvians translates into regional geographies of return migration?Drawing on most recent available statistical data we elaborate on the…
A review of estimating population exposure to sea-level rise and the relevance for migration
2020
Abstract This review analyses global or near-global estimates of population exposure to sea-level rise (SLR) and related hazards, followed by critically examining subsequent estimates of population migration due to this exposure. Our review identified 33 publications that provide global or near-global estimates of population exposure to SLR and associated hazards. They fall into three main categories of exposure, based on definitions in the publications: (i) the population impacted by specified levels of SLR; (ii) the number of people living in floodplains that are subject to coastal flood events with a specific return period; and (iii) the population living in low-elevation coastal zones. …

536. Internal and international mobility of Romanian immigrants during the crisis
2016
Para paliar los efectos de la crisis económico-laboral, iniciada en 2007, los inmigrantes han desplegado diversas estrategias, entre las que destaca la movilidad geográfica. El artículo indaga en las migraciones que en los últimos años realizan los rumanos en España y desde España, para lo que se utilizan dos fuentes de información complementarias: la estadística y los testimonios de los inmigrantes. Los resultados de la investigación muestran el notable aumento de la circulación interior de trabajadores durante los primeros años y el progresivo aumento de las salidas, ya sea para retornar al lugar de origen, emigrar a otros países o desplazarse entre diferentes lugares. En general, estos d…
