Residential location and youth unemployment: The economic geography of school-to-work transitions
2003
In response to increased international policy attention to youth unemployment this study investigates post-secondary school transitions of school leavers. Multinomial logit models are estimated for male and female German youth. The models control for individual, parent, and household characteristics, for those of the youth’s region of residence and local labor markets. The findings suggest that immigrant youth has particularly low participation rates in continued education, and that youth unemployment is centered in high unemployment states and metropolitan areas. More generous academic benefit policies seem to be correlated with increased academic enrollment, and men’s transitions to the m…

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…
Caractéristiques et motivations des médecins français ayant choisi d’émigrer en Grande-Bretagne
2008
Abstract Background As member states in the European Union now recognize the national qualifications of other member states, doctors will be able to move more freely within Europe according to the opportunities on offer and the constraints imposed by the different health-care systems.

Method A self-completed questionnaire was used to conduct a survey among French doctors registered with the British Medical Council in 2005 who had done their studies in France and for whom the address was correct. Results The response rate, which was difficult to assess (impossible to distinguish between inc…
The ideal restructuring of migrant families in the immigration law
2013
The legal configuration of kinship ties in immigration law is governed by a restrictive logic that combines a dependent and nuclear composition with mismatches in the concrete form of managing the distances, the dynamics and the times at origin and destination. The family model in immigration law has an ideal and dominant approach openly excluding other family realities in the social context. Law in an inherent tendency towards the ideal doesn’t allow a legitimate choice between autonomy and individual freedom in order to define or not the family project and own relationships. In this paper I discuss from a critical approach the inconsistencies presented by the current Spanish immigration l…
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. …
Categorizing migrants by disempowering the right to asylum. A focus on the Sicilian implementation of the “Hotspot approach”.
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…
Vulnerabilità posizionale e intersezionale. I minori migranti soli come caso paradigmatico
2020
A partire dalla definizione teorica della vulnerabilità come posizione, il contributo prende in considerazione come paradigmatica le condizione che si producono per i minori migranti soli lungo il viaggio come durante la permanenza in Italia. Particolare attenzione viene dedicata alle procedure della richiesta di asilo come ambito di vittimizzazione secondaria, e all'ineffettività dei principi posti a tutela dei minori alla luce del nuovo corso della politica italiana.
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…
Shikonin promotes intestinal wound healing in vitro via induction of TGF-β release in IEC-18 cells
2013
The intestinal barrier is a complex system with a dynamic structure that is designed for the maintenance of homeostasis in healthy individuals. Ulcerative colitis, one of the main manifestations of inflammatory bowel disease, is characterized by an inadequate and delayed wound healing. Shikonin, the active principle in the root of Lithospermum erythrorhizon, has demonstrated its ability to attenuate dextran sulfate sodium-induced ulcerative colitis in mice. Moreover, the root of L. erythrorhizon has been used in traditional Chinese medicine for treatment of burns, anal ulcers, hemorrhoids and skin wounds. However, the effect of shikonin on intestinal wound healing is unknown. Using an in vi…
