Is There a Paradox of Adaptation in Immigrant Children and Youth across Europe?: A Literature Review
2018
This review examines how well children of immigrants in Europe are doing in terms of educational, psychological, and behavioral outcomes. Based on theory and research in developmental, social and acculturation psychology fields, we explore the immigrant paradox (e.g., first-generation immigrant children show better adaptation in comparison to their native and second-generation counterparts) and migration morbidity (e.g., immigrants display less favorable outcomes than natives) in 102 studies conducted in 14 European countries. We conclude that theoretical assumptions of developmental (e.g., promoting context in families, schools, neighborhoods), social (e.g., intercultural behaviors and att…

2021
Šī bakalaura darba autors ir Dārta Dalbiņa, bakalaura darba tēma ir “ 3-4 gadu vecuma bērnu adaptācijas veicināšana pirmsskolā”. Bakalaura darba mērķis bija analizēt 3-4 gadu vecuma bērnu adaptācija periodu pirmsskolas izglītības iestādēs un apkopot ieteikumus 3-4 gadu vecuma bērnu adaptācijas periodu. Autors izvirzīja šādu darba mērķi, lai turpmāk, turpinot darbu par pedagogu, būtu plašākas zināšanas un zinātu, kā rīkoties dažādās situācijās un pēcāk, lai tās varētu pielietot reālajā dzīvē. Lai varētu veiksmīgi izstrādāt un izpētīt savu izvēlēto bakalaura darba tēmu, autors uzstādīja šādus uzdevumus: 1.Analizēt pedagoģisko un psiholoģisko literatūru par 3-4 gadu vecuma bērnu adaptācijas pe…
Adaptación en la infancia: influencia del estilo parental y del estado de ánimo
2016
La adaptación en la infancia hace referencia al ajuste personal, social y familiar que los niños manifiestan. Esta variable está relacionada con factores personales y familiares que influyen en su desarrollo. Entre ellos los estados emocionales y el estilo educativo que los padres utilizan para educar a sus hijos. El objetivo del presente trabajo es estudiar el valor predictivo de los estilos parentales y los estados emocionales sobre la adaptación infantil. Los participantes fueron 1129 niños entre 8 y 12 años de colegios de la Comunidad Valenciana. Los estilos educativos se evaluaron con las Escalas de Identificación de “Prácticas Educativas Familiares”, los estados de ánimo a través de T…
Discussion
1999
Homo sapiens L. has been described as the naked ape, and this nakedness undoubtedly constitutes one of the most striking differences in appearance between man and the apes. Nakedness has been attributed at various times to sexual selection [1], aquatic stage [2], hunting [3], cooling [4], sex [5], neoteny [6] and allometry [7], most proposed explanations logically revealing some aspect of the phenomenon. However, most fail to account for the distinctiveness of man's hairlessness among mammals of the same size. Unfortunately, fossils cannot help us to explain how denudation occurred, and how it helped hominids to survive. In this paper I will present an old hypothesis with a new point of vie…
Local adaptation of a holoparasitic plant, Cuscuta europaea: variation among populations
2000
Locally adapted parasites have higher infectivity and/or fitness on sympatric than on allopatric hosts. We tested local adaptation of a holoparasitic plant, Cuscuta europaea, to its host plant, Urtica dioica. We infected hosts from five sites with holoparasites from the same five sites and measured local adaptation in terms of infectivity and parasite performance (biomass) in a reciprocal cross-infection experiment. The virulence of the parasite did not differ between sympatric and allopatric hosts. Overall, parasites had higher infectivity on sympatric hosts but infectivity and parasite performance varied among populations. Parasites from one of the populations showed local adaptation in t…
Manipulation of fish host by eye flukes in relation to cataract formation and parasite infectivity
2005
Trophically transmitted parasites may predispose infected hosts to predation by altering host behaviour, which can be either an adaptation of the parasites to enhance transmission to the next hosts in the life cycle or a nonadaptive side-effect of infection. In an experimental study, we investigated host manipulation by Diplostomum spathaceum (Trematoda), an eye fluke of fish, to evaluate its adaptive value as a parasite strategy to increase transmission efficiency to bird hosts. The parasite induces cataract formation in the lenses of fish eyes, and predisposes fish to predation by reducing their escape response. We examined the effect of developmental stage and the number of parasites on …
Toward Understanding Contradictions in Enterprise System Implementations: Insights from a Case Study
2013
This chapter presents findings from a study of the implementation of an enterprise system in an organization. The implementation process is viewed from a dialectic perspective, which means thinking in terms of contradictions. This chapter raises the following research question: how can we understand contradictions in enterprise system (ES) implementations? To answer this question, an interpretive research approach was chosen. The empirical part is a longitudinal case study. The system was in this case an innovative combination of collaboration and information management technologies. The main contradiction studied in this case was between an as-is implementation of standard software and an …
Adaptación transcultural al español y validez de contenido de 3 escalas de riesgo nutricional
2022
Introduction: There are various scales designed to determine the risk of malnutrition at hospital admission in children. However, most of these instruments are developed and published in English. Their cross-cultural adaptation and validation being mandatory in order to be used in our country. Objectives: Cross-culturally adapt three scales designed to determine the risk of malnutrition linked to the disease and determine the validity of their content. Material and methods: Cross-cultural adaptation using the translation-back-translation met-hod in accordance with the recommendations of the International Test Commission Guidelines for Translating and Adapting Tests. Content validity was mea…
Evolutionary Considerations in Potato Pest Management
2013
Incorporating our knowledge of fundamental evolutionary processes into pest control practices is essential for maximizing their efficiency. The insect pest complex of potato is characterized by a high degree of plasticity and adaptability. In particular, the Colorado potato beetle quickly expanded its host range to include cultivated potato, and has shown a remarkable ability to evolve resistance to a wide variety of chemicals. Another major pest of potatoes, the green peach aphid, is also very adaptable to insecticides. Both of these insects can also develop resistance to non-chemical methods of their suppression, such as biological control and crop rotation. In addition, understanding ins…
Integrazione, espressioni delle differenze: una ricerca a Palermo
2018
Il fenomeno migratorio verso l’UE negli ultimi decenni ha rivelato la debolezza dei modelli di integrazione. Sul piano sociale non si è riusciti a governare un cambiamento di convivenza oggi improcrastinabile. Le comunità di immigrati popolano le nostre città lavorano, consumano, si incontrano, e non smettono di praticare le proprie espressioni religiose e culturali di origine. Quale ruolo gioca l’espressione delle differenze, modellate dall’adattamento, nei processi di integrazione locale? Queste dinamiche sono state analizzate in una ricerca qualitativa condotta a Palermo, i cui principali risultati sono presentati in questo saggio. The migratory phenomenon to the EU in recent decades sho…
