Imperialists without an empire? : Finnish Settlers in Late Nineteenth- and Early Twentieth-Century Rhodesia
2015
This article discusses settler identity formation, in the colonial polity known as Rhodesia, using Finnish nationals as a case study. It studies the involvement of Finns in natural resource extraction in Rhodesia at a time when the colonial economy and settler domination were still in their infancy, and examines both Finnish participation in colonial practices and the limitations of Finns as colonialists. White settlers in Rhodesia have typically been categorised as ‘Europeans’ partly because of their sense of representing a generalised idea of Western civilisation and partly in order to underline contrasts between black and white experiences in the history of colonialism. By focusing on th…
Exploring citizens’ judgments about the legitimacy of public policies on refugees
2017
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is threefold: to introduce a theoretical frame regarding the meaning of legitimacy as an intangible asset of the public sector; to test a way of operationalizing legitimacy typologies that allows exploring and comparing how citizens from two countries evaluate the legitimacy of public policies; and to suggest implications for governments’ legitimacy-building strategies in shared international crisis, such as the refugees coming from the Syrian region.Design/methodology/approachBuilding on Suchman’s typology, it was defined and categorized different types of legitimacy into concrete measurable, communication related statements concerning consequential, proced…
Al2O3 ALD films grown using TMA + rare isotope 2H216O and 1H218O precursors
2021
In this work hydrogen and oxygen migration and exchange reactions in the atomic layer deposited (ALD) Al2O3 thin films were studied together with hydrogen incorporation by varying deposition parameters. Al2O3 films deposited at low temperatures can contain more than 20 at. % of hydrogen. Both higher temperature and longer purge length decrease the hydrogen and carbon concentrations significantly. In order to track the hydrogen and oxygen movement in the films, heavy water (2H216O) and oxygen-18 enriched water (1H218O) were used as precursors in combination with trimethylaluminium (TMA). Different isotopes of the same element were quantified by means of time-of-flight elastic recoil detectio…
The career potential of migrant scholars in Finnish higher education : emerging perspectives and dynamics
2007
David Hoffman tutki väitöstyössään suomalaisessa korkeakoulujärjestelmässä työskentelevien akateemisten siirtolaisten näkökulmia ja kokemuksia. Tutkimus toi esiin tärkeitä haasteita liittyen suomalaisen väestön nopeaan ikääntymiseen ja kansainväliseen muuttoliikkeeseen. Hoffmanin analyysi tunnisti tieteenaloja, joilla akateeminen liikkuvuus on vahvaa sekä aloja, joilla se on lähes olematonta. Lisäksi tutkimus osoittaa, että akateeminen liikkuvuus toimii hyvin joidenkin siirtolaisryhmien kohdalla, kun taas toisia siirtolaisryhmiä ei juuri löydy henkilöstölistoilta. Viime aikoina on keskusteltu paljon siitä, että Suomen houkuttelevuutta työpaikkana ja kotimaana korkeasti koulutetuille ja amma…
Migration for Work & Education : A case study of Nepal
2018
Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2018 Migration is the process of crossing the national or international broader for the sake of getting a high paid job, education, better living standard, prosperity, settlement, and other diverse motives. This thesis is focused on the surging growth of Nepalese younger generation people going abroad for higher education and work. The question discussed in this master study is about why they are willing to leave the home country, and what economic benefits they get from it.The Logistic regression is applied to find the relationship between several independent variables and dependent variables for labor and educational migr…
Analysis of Factors Influencing the Dynamics of Labor Emigration: Case-Study of Ukraine
2020
This article analyzes the results of foreign and domestic scientists in the field of labor migration and the factors of this phenomenon. Based on previous researches, factors have been grouped into four main categories, which include all areas of life of existing and potential migrants, such as economic and political, social and climatic. Labor migration is constantly growing. Thus, according to the UN estimates, the number of migrant workers in the world in 2019 amounted to 272 million people, ie 3.5 % of the population, compared to 2010, the figure increased by 56.25 %. Such significant migration movements lead to a global imbalance in the labor market. This proves that the study of this …
Sport labor migration, globalization and dual-career : case study of international student-athletes in University of Colorado at Boulder
2014
Sport, education, labor migration and globalization are all current areas of research worldwide. The U.S. has a unique system of making the dual-career option possible by having the college sport league organized by the non-profit association National Collegiate Athletic Association. The labor migration has increased in the past years. The primary research question in this study is, in which ways sport labor migration, globalization and dual-career are illustrated in the case study school of University of Colorado at Boulder by concentrating on the international student-athletes. The purpose of this study is to find out more in detail the numbers of international student-athletes in CU, in …
Społeczne skutki zagranicznych migracji zarobkowych z terenu województwa opolskiego dla dzieci emigrantów pozostających w Polsce
2016
Artykuł podejmuje kwestię, która w literaturze przedmiotu oraz dyskursie prasowym została nazwana „eurosieroctwem”. Województwo opolskie jako region migracyjny od wielu lat zmaga się z niekorzystnymi skutkami zagranicznych wyjazdów zarobkowych. Dotyczy to zarówno zachowań migracyjnych ludności autochtonicznej, jak i nowych wyjazdów za granicę obserwowanych w województwie po akcesji do UE w 2004 r. W efekcie ponad 100 tys. mieszkańców regionu pracuje stale lub okresowo poza granicami kraju, co istotnie wpływa na wiele innych zjawisk, w tym szczególnie na strukturę demograficzną województwa. Jednakże konsekwencje te są również szczególnie dotkliwe w wymiarze mikrospołecznym. Wiążą się m.in. z…
