Cross-icecap spring migration confirmed in a high-Arctic seabird, the Ivory Gull Pagophila eburnea

2021

Seabirds rarely cross major terrestrial barriers during seasonal migration, possibly because they have a limited ability to build up fat stores. For the first time, we tracked two Ivory Gulls with GPS loggers during spring migration from the wintering area in Davis Strait to the breeding colony in north-east Greenland. While one bird migrated in March around the southern tip of Greenland, the other delayed migration until May and crossed the Greenland icecap north of 70°N, covering 1345 km in 29 h. Several aspects of the crossing were noteworthy: the track was remarkably direct, the bird made several stops (totalling 6 h) on the icecap, and the bird increased its flying altitude to nearly 3…

International Successions in Spain: The Impact of a New EU Regulation

2009

ABSTRACTThe arrangement of cross-border successions is a real challenge nowadays for both citizens and authorities due to the multicultural profile of today’s societies together with the current diversity of regulations, both at the substantive and conflicts levels. On 14 October 2009, the European Union adopted a new Proposal for a Regulation on international successions, a comprehensive instrument which will entail the harmonization within the EU of the conflicts regulation of cross-borders inheritances. The text finally adopted will necessarily have to provide an adequate equilibrium of the interests of people living in Europe to be successful. Material justice should not only focus on t…

Fluid Migration above a Subducted Slab-Constraints on Amount, Pathways and Major Element Mobility from Partially Overprinted Eclogite-facies Rocks (S…

2011

The Western Alpine Sesia-Lanzo Zone (SLZ) is a sliver of eclogite-facies continental crust exhumed from mantle depths in the hanging wall of a subducted oceanic slab. Eclogite-facies felsic and basic rocks sampled across the internal SLZ show different degrees of retrograde metamorphic overprint associated with fluid influx. The weakly deformed samples preserve relict eclogite-facies mineral assemblages that show partial fluid-induced compositional re-equilibration along grain boundaries, brittle fractures and other fluid pathways. Multiple fluid influx stages are indicated by replacement of primary omphacite by phengite, albitic plagioclase and epidote as well as partial re-equilibration a…

Integracja muzułmanów i kryzys migracyjny jako wyzwania dla niemieckiej i europejskiej dyplomacji

2016

W artykule przedstawiono problem integracji muzułmanów oraz konsekwencje współczesnego kryzysu migracyjnego, które stoją przed niemiecką i europejską dyplomacją. W odniesieniu do teoretycznych rozważań, przedstawiono koncepcje i modele polityki integracyjnej prowadzonej przez państwa zachodnioeuropejskie w warunkach przed kryzysem i obecnie. W opracowaniu zawarto krótki zarys historii napływu muzułmanów do Niemiec oraz procesy związane z ich integracją. Przedstawiono też główne cechy obecnego kryzysu, wskazując na wyzwania, jakie niesie dla całej Unii, a w szczególności dla Niemiec jako kraju najbardziej zaangażowanego w proces przyjmowania uchodźców i imigrantów. Zwrócono uwagę na podstawo…

Perception and consumption of alcohol among the immigrant population from Latin America in Valencia region (Spain).

2010

This study examines patterns of alcohol consumption among the Hispanic immigrant population in Valencia (Spain), and also whether the length of immigrants’ residence in our country and perceived degree of discrimination have any influence on such patterns. A total of 610 Spanish-speaking immigrants (314 women, 296 men) over 15 years of age, from six Hispano-American countries were interviewed in 2006; 76.8% had consumed alcohol in the previous 12 months; 37.6% drink more alcohol in Spain than in their country of origin. This study shows the need to develop specific programs for the immigrant population, with special consideration for the young, males, and smokers. The study's limitations ar…

Invisible work, unseen hazards: the health of women immigrant household service workers in Spain

2009

BACKGROUND: Household service work has been largely absent from occupational health studies. We examine the occupational hazards and health effects identified by immigrant women household service workers. METHODS: Exploratory, descriptive study of 46 documented and undocumented immigrant women in household services in Spain, using a phenomenological approach. Data were collected between September 2006 and May 2007 through focus groups and semi-structured individual interviews. Data were separated for analysis by documentation status and sorted using a mixed-generation process. In a second phase of analysis, data on psychosocial hazards were organized using the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questi…

Ética de la asistencia primaria a los niños de procedencia internacional

2012

La inmigración se ha convertido en un fenómeno universal. Uno de sus efectos es el incremento de los niños de procedencia internacional en las consultas de pediatría. Se trata de una población doblemente vulnerable, por tratarse de niños y por proceder de contextos culturales extraños a los del país de acogida. Ante esta realidad emergente es imprescindible preguntarse por el tipo de asistencia sanitaria que deben recibir. En el presente artículo se proponen principios éticos de actuación inspirados en las principales normas internacionales sobre bioética y derechos de los niños: principio de vulnerabilidad; principio de respeto y amor, y principio de acceso y atención sanitaria. Finalmente…

Social representations of latin american immigrants about immigration, care and elderly caregivers

2013

Ageing in Spain has increased considerably and elderly people often find themselves in a situation of great dependence. Facing this situation, many have had the support of immigrant caregivers from Latin America. This research had the purpose to know the social representations (SR) of these caregivers, living in Valencia (Spain), about immigration, care and elderly care. It involved the participation of 35 immigrants who responded the Word Association Test and a socio-demographic questionnaire. The results revealed that the SR on immigration reflect "nostalgia", care was represented by "help", and care for the elderly by "respect". It is concluded that the SR allow understanding the symboli…
