Na celowniku tajnych służb PRL. Sprawa Aleksandra Demideckiego-Demidowicza

2016

TARGETED BY THE SECRET SERVICES OF THE PRL. THE CASE OF ALEKSANDER DEMIDECKI-DEMIDOWICZ Who was Aleksander Demidecki-Demidowicz. Without a doubt he was one of the most prominent politicians in exile in France. He was famous for his ability to win people over and to cooperate with people of different political views. His significance and role is best illustrated by the fact that in 1958 he was unanimously chosen as the leader of the Division of the National Council of Poland. It is no wonder that the intelligence services of the PRL government were interested in him. What were the consequences? Did Demidecki-Demidowicz really collaborate with the PRL authorities, or did he just play along in…

Rimpatriati in terra straniera: Ragonese, Capretti, Samaritano e Costantini raccontano la "jaala"

2023

La “cacciata” degli italiani dalla Libia, nel 1970, coinvolse circa 20.000 persone che, nate in Libia, si sono ritrovate improvvisamente strappate dalla quotidianità e catapultati in un'Italia a loro assolutamente estranea e solo idealmente custode della loro cultura originaria. Questo lavoro presenta, a titolo esemplificativo, alcuni testi narrativi neocoloniali e neostorici di Rita Ragonese, Luciana Capretti, Andrea Amedeo Sammartano e Roberto Costantini che raccontano delle angosce, e del profondo senso di spaesamento sofferto da migliaia di italiani rimpatriati con la forza in una patria sconosciuta. The “expulsion” of the Italians from Libya, in 1970, involved about 20,000 people who, …

Large-scale effects of migration and conflict in pre-agricultural groups: Insights from a dynamic model.

2016

The debate on the causes of conflict in human societies has deep roots. In particular, the extent of conflict in hunter-gatherer groups remains unclear. Some authors suggest that large-scale violence only arose with the spreading of agriculture and the building of complex societies. To shed light on this issue, we developed a model based on operatorial techniques simulating population-resource dynamics within a two-dimensional lattice, with humans and natural resources interacting in each cell of the lattice. The model outcomes under different conditions were compared with recently available demographic data for prehistoric South America. Only under conditions that include migration among c…

PREDICTORS OF THE SENSE OF BELONGING TO THE COUNTRY: EXPLORING A NEW MODEL

2017

This study explored new possibilities for measuring the sense of belonging to the country and investigated predictors of the sense of belonging to Latvia. Focusing on students’ sense of belonging to the country is explained by two reasons: 1) emigration is the main factor of depopulation in Latvia; 2) students’ intention to emigrate is the highest among other social groups. Studies in the field of community psychology present models of the sense of community and explore intentions to stay in a particular place. Within a new model, different levels of social systems (from meso- to macro-system) were included into the analysis of predictors of the sense of belonging to the country. The partic…

A Universal Health Care System? Unmet Need for Medical Care Among Regular and Irregular Immigrants in Italy

2017

Italy has a universal health care system that covers, in principle, the whole resident population, irrespective of citizenship and legal status. This study calculates the prevalence of unmet need for medical care among Italian citizens, regular and irregular immigrants and estimates logistic regression models to assess whether differences by citizenship and legal status hold true once adjusting for potential confounders. The analysis is based on two Surveys on Income and Living Conditions of Italian households and households with foreigners. Controlling for various factors, the odds of experiencing unmet need for medical care are 27% higher for regular immigrants than for Italian citizens a…

Diversification of diversity: Migrations, cultural pluralism and urban transformations in Palermo (Italy): a case study

2021

Italy experienced the transition from a country of emigration to a country of immigration only in the last decade of the 20th century. The extreme heterogeneity of the Italian scene – from the distribution and variety of productive sectors and local economic dimensions, to the geographical, cultural and linguistic varieties – results in an incredibly differentiated background on which the phenomenon of migrations fits as multiplier of diversity. But there are some particular fields in Italy where the challenges of superdiversity appear to be more prominent: the impact on the school system, in terms of linguistic-cultural pluralism; the change in religious belonging and identities; the dynam…

The role of extrinsic and intrinsic factors on departure decisions of a long-distance migratory passerine

2013

[EN] Factors determining departure decisions of migrants from a stopover site can be extrinsic and/or intrinsic but the relative role of each of these factors on departure decisions is still poorly known. Date and wind should be the main factors determining departure decisions in a long-distance migrant, which is expected to minimise duration of migration. Date was considered as an intrinsic factor and wind as an extrinsic one. We analysed the capture-recapture data of a long-distance migrant European songbird, the sedge warbler Acrocephalus schoenobaenus,from a stopover site in northern Iberia during the autumn migration period to quantify the relative importance of several factors on emig…

Tracing European Founder Lineages in the Near Eastern mtDNA Pool

2000

Founder analysis is a method for analysis of nonrecombining DNA sequence data, with the aim of identification and dating of migrations into new territory. The method picks out founder sequence types in potential source populations and dates lineage clusters deriving from them in the settlement zone of interest. Here, using mtDNA, we apply the approach to the colonization of Europe, to estimate the proportion of modern lineages whose ancestors arrived during each major phase of settlement. To estimate the Palaeolithic and Neolithic contributions to European mtDNA diversity more accurately than was previously achievable, we have now extended the Near Eastern, European, and northern-Caucasus d…
