An Urban Governance Framework for Including Environmental Migrants in Sustainable Cities
2022
This article proposes an urban governance framework for including environmental migrants in sustainable cities. It outlines the links among environmental migration, vulnerability, and sustainability, showing how vulnerability and sustainability are not about the environment or the human condition as snapshots in space and time, but rather are long-term, multi-scalar, ever-evolving processes. This theoretical baseline is followed by a description of some practical approaches already applied for including environmental migrants in sustainable cities. The wide variety and lack of cohesion justifies the need for a framework, leading to three principal characteristics of a governance framework s…
Origin and age of Australian Chenopodiaceae
2005
Abstract We studied the age, origins, and possible routes of colonization of the Australian Chenopodiaceae. Using a previously published rbc L phylogeny of the Amaranthaceae–Chenopodiaceae alliance (Kadereit et al. 2003) and new ITS phylogenies of the Camphorosmeae and Salicornieae, we conclude that Australia has been reached in at least nine independent colonization events: four in the Chenopodioideae, two in the Salicornieae, and one each in the Camphorosmeae, Suaedeae, and Salsoleae. Where feasible, we used molecular clock estimates to date the ages of the respective lineages. The two oldest lineages both belong to the Chenopodioideae ( Scleroblitum and Chenopodium sect. Orthosporum / Dy…
Regards croisés sur les étudiants et les jeunes diplômés : déterminants individuels et migrations régionales
2006
This paper aims at comparing individual and regional factors of young people's migrations. Especially these linked with French High Education ; entering University, students in training and graduates integrating labour market. Do they mirgrate the same way ? Do regions influence the way they migrate ? Do individual and social factors interfere in the same way ? This paper aims at answering all these questions.
Transcreating the Myth: “Voiceless Voiced” Migrants in the Queens of Syria Project
2018
This study functions within the conceptual and practical framework in which transcreation is located as the natural result of the process of adaptation of migrant Syrian narratives to the ancient myth of the Trojan women. While scrutinising the parallelisms between the Syrian women’s stories and those told by Euripides’s myth about the Trojan women, the real experiences of migration have turned myth into an act of communication, “an experiential act” meant for the construction of human stories that reverse mainstream anti-refugee policies. The dissemination of mythological narratives through adaptations of migrant stories, where myth and translation seem to go hand in hand, has reinforced t…
Tick-borne pathogens in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from migratory birds in southern Norway
2020
Birds are important hosts for the first life stages of the Ixodes ricinus tick and they can transport their parasites over long distances. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Neoehrlichia mikurensis and Rickettsia helvetica in ticks collected from migratory birds in Norway. A total of 815 Ixodes ricinus ticks from 216 birds trapped at Lista Bird Observatory in southern Norway during spring and autumn migration in 2008 were analysed by real-time PCR. B. burgdorferi s. l. was the most prevalent pathogen, detected in 6.1% of the ticks. The prevalence of N. mikurensis, A. phagocytophilum and R. helvetica was 1.2%…
Mortality and demographic recovery in early post-black death epidemics: Role of recent emigrants in medieval Dijon
2020
International audience; Objective and methodsWe analyze the influence of population movement on susceptibility to death and resilience during two epidemics occurring in Dijon soon after the Black Death. Using a specific program designed to propose links between entries in annual tax registers, we define tentative heads of household, the elapsed time since their first registration and their ties with other persons within the city.ResultsDuring the 1400 epidemic heads of household who were registered for 1–3 years die in large numbers, whereas during years without epidemics, their death rate is lower than that of heads of household who were registered longer. Recent registration is an epidemi…
Dental disease and dietary isotopes of individuals from St Gertrude Church cemetery, Riga, Latvia.
2018
This research explores oral health indicators and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope data to explore diet, and differences in diet, between people buried in the four different contexts of the St Gertrude Church cemetery (15th– 17th centuries AD): the general cemetery, two mass graves, and a collective mass burial pit within the general cemetery. The main aim is to assess whether people buried in the mass graves were rural immigrants, or if they were more likely to be the victims of plague (or another epidemic) who lived in Riga and its suburbs. The data produced (from dental disease assessments and isotope analyses) were compared within, as well as between, the contexts. Most differences em…
Diel vertical movements by lotic mayfly nymphs under variable predation risk
1999
Summary 1. The diel foraging periodicities of two grazing mayfly (Ephemeroptera) nymphs, Heptagenia dalecarlica and Baetis rhodani, under variable fish (European minnow) predation risk were examined in a series of laboratory experiments. 2. Heptagenia dalecarlica were almost exclusively nocturnal in their use of feeding areas on stone tops. There was a sharp increase in the proportion of nymphs out of refuge at nightfall, both in the control and fish-odour treatments. In a treatment with freely moving fish, H. dalecarlica decreased their activity during both the day and night. In feeding trials with three freely foraging minnows, nymphs were completely safe when they had access to refuges b…
La riunificazione familiare dello straniero nei trattati sui diritti umani
2010
Family reunification contributes to the integration of aliens in the countries of destination and the development of their personality as well, but it entails the increase in the demand for social facilities. As a consequence States tend to reduce the opportunities for family reunification. The study analyses the activity of the organs of control set up by the international conventions on human rights and aims at identifying the obligations on States’ sovereignty stemming from the rules of these conventions protecting family life or disciplining family reunification. In assessing the lawfulness of States’ rules on family reunification or decisions on individual cases these organs verify whe…
Reemigrācijas attīstība Baltijas valstīs
2016
Migrācija ir nebeidzams pārvietošanās process, gan reģionālā, gan globālā līmenī. Migrācija ietekmē dažādas cilvēku grupas – ekonomiskos migrantus, bez pajumtes palikušās personas, bēgļus (patvēruma meklētājus) un ceļotājus. Migrācija ir daudzslāņains, sarežģīts process, kuru izpētes gaitā nepieciešams skatīt no dažādiem aspektiem, tādēļ, lai gūtu plašāku pārskatu par migrācijas paveida – remigrācijas attīstību Baltijas valstīs, maģistra darbs ir strukturēts divos līmeņos – empīriskais pētījums par trīs Baltijas valstīm – Lietuvu, Latvija un Igauniju un kvalitatīvais pētījums – reemigrācijas attīstība Baltijas valstīs: Latvijas gadījums. Maģistra darba mērķis ir veikt padziļinātu izpēti par…
