Disturbance-induced emigration: an overlooked mechanism that reduces metapopulation extinction risk.
2021
Emigration propensity (i.e., the tendency to leave undisturbed patches) is a key life-history trait of organisms in metapopulations with local extinctions and colonizations. Metapopulation models of dispersal evolution typically assume that patch disturbance kills all individuals within the patch, thus causing local extinction. However, individuals may instead be able to leave a patch when it is disturbed, either by fleeing before being killed or simply because the disturbance destroys the patch without causing mortality. This scenario may pertain to a wide range of organisms from horizontally transmitted symbionts, to aquatic insects inhabiting temporary ponds, to vertebrates living in fra…
Favoreggiamento dell’immigrazione irregolare vs. traffico di migranti: una dicotomia rilevante nell’interpretazione dell’art. 12 TUI? (Ragionando su …
2022
La sentenza costituzionale n. 63/2022 propone una lettura plurioffensiva delle aggravanti del favoreggiamento dell’immigrazione irregolare, che usa per distinguere, nella disciplina dell’art. 12 TUI, tra mero favoreggiamento, previsto al comma 1, e che consisterebbe in una condotta «individuale» e «altruistica», e traffico di migranti, che sarebbe previsto invece ai commi 3, 3-bis e 3-ter e che evocherebbe «scenari di coinvolgimento di organizzazioni criminali». In questo contributo si muovono alcune critiche a questa lettura, mostrando come essa, oltre a non essere necessaria allo scopo di mostrare l’incostituzionalità delle due aggravanti oggetto di censura (uso di servizi di trasporto in…
FEMALE GENITAL MUTILATIONS: GENITO-URINARY COMPLICATIONS AND ETHICAL-LEGAL ASPECTS
2015
Many women in the world are still undergoing female genital mutilations (FGMs) even if in almost all the countries, the practice of FGM is illegal. The increase of immigration, particularly from African Countries, to Europe, and Italy too, led to consider this phenomenon with particular attention and skill. All the operators in health services need to know the different types of FGMs and the related complications and the psychological and sexual sequels. Urological complications, in particular, are not rare and the changing anatomy of the external genital apparatus can also make the catheter insertion sometimes difficult. This review analyzes the epidemiology of FGMs, the reasons why the p…

Managed Multiculturalism in Finnish Media Initiatives
2007
This paper focuses on Finnish mainstream journalism featuring multiculturalism. Three different initiatives are analysed with a qualitative text method founded on discourse and frame analysis. Finnish mainstream journalism took a multicultural turn in the mid-990s, two decades later than in neighbouring Sweden where similar initiatives were launched in the 1970s. The paper takes a critical look at the power relations these initiatives assert or transgress, how multicultural discourses position various actors in society, and how the mainstream media encounter cultural and ethnic differences in a changing demographic situation with a positive intention.
Balancing the Frame of Threat: Uninvited Migrants in the Finnish News
2010
This chapter analyzes Finnish news journalism concerning asylum seekers and undocumented migration. It focuses on 'the variety of others', the media not only construct a division between 'us' and 'them,' but also create varieties of 'others.' The solution to the problems related to otherness is not, however, to recognize that we are all different, as the currently popular discourse that celebrates 'cultural diversity' often claims. This chapter scrutinizes the frames of 'threat' and 'victim' which are typical of the media’s coverage of asylum seekers and undocumented migrants. To identify the narrative, I have analyzed what is defined as problems and what is offered as the causes of and sol…

Hacia una escuela multicultural: la presencia creciente de inmigrantes en el sistema educativo español
2002
El inusitado crecimiento de la inmigración en los últimos años ha transformado en buena medida la escuela española, incrementando su carácter multicultural, acentuando algunas diferencias entre la red pública y la privada o concertada, obligando a transformaciones notables para adaptar la escuela a la nueva realidad y sus necesidades. El artículo aborda los ritmos de llegada, la distribución territorial del nuevo alumnado y su tendencia a la concentración en la escuela pública, pero también analiza cuestiones de gran influencia en el ámbito educativo como el insuficiente conocimiento de nuestra(s) lengua(s), las diferencias religiosas, la concentración excesiva en algunos centros concretos …
