Contrôle de nano-antennes optiques par une commande électrique : tuner plasmonique et transduction
2011
Optical nano-antennae are the new class of components to control light/matterinteraction at the nanoscale. These devices are operating in the visible to near infraredpart of the spectrum. The properties of these nano objects are controlled by theform, the size and the material.In the radio frequency domain, the tuner changes dynamically the operatingwavelength of the antenna. In this thesis work, we search to transfer this conceptto the nanoscale. The principle is to change the load impedance of the antenna, i.e.changing the optical index of the dielectric medium around the nano-object. Forthat we used anisotropic liquid cristal molecules. The value of the optical index iscontrolled by appl…
Religion and the Scandinavian Welfare State: Public Support for Socio-economic Rights in Times of Migration
2020
The theme of this article is the legitimisation of social and economic rights within the context of the Scandinavian welfare state. This problem has become more prominent in the light of the recent influx of immigrants from countries in the Middle East and Africa dominated by other religious and cultural traditions than Lutheran Protestantism. Two questions are discussed in the article. First, what role has religion played vis-a-vis the development of the welfare states in Scandinavia? Second, in what ways have recent immigration trends influenced popular support for welfare provision and social rights?
Middleware for transparent TCP connection migration : masking faulty TCP-based services
2004
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2004 - Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Mission critical TCP-based services create a demand for robust and fault tolerant TCP communication. Sense Intellifield monitors drill operations on rig sites offshore. Critical TCP-based services need to be available 24 hours, 7 days a week, and the service providers need to tolerate server failure. How to make TCP robust and fault tolerant without modifying existing infrastructure like existing client/server applications, services, TCP stacks, kernels, or operating systems is the motivation of this thesis. We present a new middleware approach, first of its kind, to allow TCP-based services to survi…
Las culturas de la emigración española: reflejos audiovisuales de la clase obrera
2019
[spa] El objetivo del presente artículo es estudiar la representación de la emigración española hacia Europa, colocando el acento en su pertenencia a la clase obrera. Por ello, consideraremos films rodados en el contexto franquista, propuestas realizadas al margen de la industria o militantes, películas producidas por los países de acogida o audiovisuales dirigidos por personas que hayan vivido la experiencia de la emigración (primera y segunda generación). Todas estas distintas variables nos permitirán conocer y estudiar la complejidad que entraña abordar este tema y a su vez también analizaremos la relevancia que se concede en estos títulos a la condición obrera. Asimismo, valoraremos la …
Anàlisi feminista de les xarxes socials de les migrants colombianes al País Valencià
2010
The results of this piece of research2 on migrant women3 are presented from a feminist approach. The research shows the current diversity in migration processes and, specifically, the key role of finding out the social practices of political migrants. The differences and similarities found in the two groups' social networks and practices are identified and compared from a social point of view, through a completely new interpretation of the concepts of economic and political migrants. This research thus aims to understand the characteristics of participative practices within the group of Colombian migrants living and taking part in two societies at the same time.
The migrant crisis in the Mediterranean Sea: Empirical evidence on policy interventions
2021
Abstract This paper presents a novel set of empirical evidence to explore several hypotheses regarding the migrant crisis in the Mediterranean Sea. The political instability in transit countries, such as Libya, that made pre-existent repatriation policies ineffective, called for several search-and-rescue operations in the Mediterranean, which in turn have been wrongly accused of fostering illegal immigration and increasing deaths at sea. The empirical results show that the main determinants of the departures are several root causes at the departing African countries, underlining the importance of fighting human smuggling networks. The paper suggests a change in migration studies’ perspectiv…
Migration for Knowledge. A Circumnavigation Between West andEast
2020
Migration of men has always been accompanied by a migration of knowledge, whether scientific or related to the tradition to which they belong. This article aims to highlight the transition of Greek sophia from the West to Persia and from Baghdad to the East. A movement of thought analyzed by Muslims experts and translators during the Middle Age. The process of translation and transmission of knowledge will accomplish an opposite periplus during the Napoleonic era, going back from the West to the Arab world. This process will give birth to the nahḍa phase, which is the cultural and literary awakening that will bring the Islamic countries living under the European colonization to meet and int…
Public Services and Migrant Minors in Italy. Redefining skill for social work.
2015
The increased presence of foreign minors in Italy demands the country to rethink and undertake a general reorganization of public social services, still responding more to emergency situations rather than promoting preventive interventions. The analysis of laws and policies on migrant integration shows how the increasing presence of migrant families with minors requires, first of all, a change in the legislative system. Moreover, the urgency for a significant investment in the training of social workers is felt, in particular on the methodologies used and the intercultural competencies required for the analyses of needs and the planning of interventions. In brief, a reorganization of welfar…

The Changing Policies of International Institutions: Human Mobility in the Mediterranean
2022
The transition from a liberal international system to an alternative political world order makes state coalitions increasingly vulnerable. The transition also affects international institutions and international policy-making processes as well. Some international actors are becoming politically irrelevant, while other political actors are acquiring a more central role in the world political system. This chapter studies the transition in political order and its effects on the roles and policies of international institutions in a crucial sector: migration. The development of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM), a…
