Pull factors for university students’ mobility: a gravity model approach

2020

Migration phenomena are characterised by flows that are typically multilateral. Often an outgoing flow corresponds to one or more incoming flows, which counterbalances it. When the balance is negative, socio-economic problems can arise. Italy has been afflicted for years by a particular type of unilateral migration: student mobility. Thousands of students leave the South to study in the Centre-North, driven by the better socio-economic conditions of those areas, and by more prosperous job prospects. Since this flow is not followed by a return one, nor by other incoming flows, the historical, socio-economic gap between North and South is widened. Taking advantage of the big dataset concernin…

Oxidation-Induced Changes in the ALD-Al2O3/InAs(100) Interface and Control of the Changes for Device Processing

2018

InAs crystals are emerging materials for various devices like radio frequency transistors and infrared sensors. Control of oxidation-induced changes is essential for decreasing amounts of the harmful InAs surface (or interface) defects because it is hard to avoid the energetically favored oxidation of InAs surface parts in device processing. We have characterized atomic-layer-deposition (ALD) grown Al2O3/InAs interfaces, preoxidized differently, with synchrotron hard X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES), low-energy electron diffraction, scanning tunneling microscopy, and time-of-flight elastic recoil detection analysis. The chemical environment and core-level shifts are clarified for w…

Biosystems Engineering curricula in Europe

2013

This paper describes the history of the harmonisation of agricultural/biosystems engineering degree study programs in Europe from 1989, when the need for this process was widely felt, until now, when this need was partly satisfied through the implementation of the projects of two EU funded thematic networks, i.e., USAEE-TN and ERABEE-TN. The objective of this paper is to contribute to promote, in each EU country and elsewhere, the process of harmonisation of agricultural/biosystems engineering degree study programs, and student and graduate mobility within the EU, as well as between the EU and the USA. At present, in Europe, this harmonisation process is aided by the key results of the proj…

Surprising solvent-induced structural rearrangements in large [N⋯I+⋯N] halogen-bonded supramolecular capsules

2018

Coordinative halogen bonds have recently gained interest for the assembly of supramolecular capsules. Ion mobility-mass spectrometry and theoretical calculations now reveal the well-defined gas-phase structures of dimeric and hexameric [N...I+...N] halogen-bonded capsules with counterions located inside their cavities as guests. The solution reactivity of the large hexameric capsule shows the intriguing solvent-dependent equilibrium between the hexamer and an unprecedented pentameric [N...I+...N] halogen-bonded capsule, when the solvent is changed from chloroform to dichloromethane. The intrinsic flexibility of the cavitands enables this novel structure to adopt a pseudo-trigonal bipyramida…

Les formations professionnelles de l'enseignement supérieur en France au prisme de l'insertion et de la mobilité sociale des diplômés

2014

La professionnalisation des formations dans l'enseignement supérieur en France s'est développée ces dernières décennies avec pour objectif d'améliorer l'employabilité des jeunes diplômés dans un contexte de dégradation de leurs conditions d'insertion. À partir des trois dernières enquêtes Génération du Céreq, ce travail questionne la performance de ces filières professionnelles par rapport aux filières plus académiques de l'enseignement supérieur, en période de crise économique. Certaines formations, comme par exemple les licences professionnelles, garantissent toujours de bonnes conditions d'insertion, pour autant les effets concernant la mobilité sociale en début de carrière, sont plus nu…

Internationalisation in higher education: A comparative view of cross-border type 1 & 2 education and their impact on developing and developed countr…

2014

Este trabajo examina que significa 'la internacionalización de la educación superior' y como la globalización, en particular, la internacionalización han influencionado la educaciñon transnacional y los efectos que las polítcas comerciales y económias han tenido en la movilidad de estudiantes y en la movilidad de programas e instituciones a lo largo de estos últimos años. Estos dos tipos de movilidades han sido muy relevantes en el desarrollo nacional. Por medio de la investigacion cualitativa y cuantitativa, resulta evidente que para los países en desarrollo que han tenido dificultad en satisfacer las exigencias y necesidades de educación superior de su población, la educación transnaciona…

A smart sustainable city : The challenges facing sustainable mobility

2019

Artykuł prezentuje zagadnienia związane z kreowaniem zrównoważonej mobilności, która jest jednym z głównych elementów smart city. Obserwujemy odejście od stricte technologicznego rozumowania miasta inteligentnego na rzecz kreatywnego rozwoju i dostarczania bodźców do kształtowania przestrzeni miejskiej, odpowiadającej nie tylko społeczeństwu, ale respektującej wymagania środowiska. Aspekt ten jest niezbędny dla rozwoju inteligentnej i zrównoważonej mobilności. Za cel opracowania przyjęto identyfikację założeń oraz cech miasta inteligentnego i zrównoważonego, a także przedstawienie mobilności jako jednego z kluczowych wyzwań smart sustainable city. Rozważania rozpoczniemy od przedstawienia g…

Expectations Towards International Study Visits – Preliminary Research Findings

2021

Abstract Objective: The objective of this paper is to present the preliminary research findings concerning the expectations towards international study visits undertaken by university students hailing from different higher education institutions around Europe on the canvas of internationalization as a concept. Methodology: The research was carried out on a group of 440 students from 5 European countries. The study covered the population of students of faculties whose graduates are preparing to work in business. The basic research tool was a questionnaire with dominating closed questions and the possibility for respondents to indicate more than one answer. The answers of the respondents were…

Cooperation on Readmission in the Mediterranean Area and its Human Rights Implications

Questo lavoro analizza la ‘dimensione esterna’ delle politiche migratorie dell’Unione Europea e dei suoi Stati membri concentrandosi su strumenti, politiche e pratiche di cooperazione internazionale in materia di riammissione, rimpatrio e partenariato per la mobilità con Paesi terzi nell’area mediterranea. In particolare, lo scopo di questo studio è di analizzare criticamente le politiche europee e bilaterali in materia di riammissione, indagando da un lato il crescente ricorso a strumenti di cooperazione internazionale di tipo informale e di natura quasi-giuridica o politica, e dall’altro l’impatto di tali strumenti sul rispetto degli standard internazionali e sovranazionali di tutela dei …
