Ruralidad y políticas locales de integración: Estudio comparativo sobre las provincias de Alicante y Valencia
2013
Pese al asentamiento de un número significativo y creciente de migrantes inter a n cio nales en los municipios rurales de los países de rentas altas, existen pocos estudios sobre las políticas de sus autoridades locales en materia de diversidad cultural. Este trabajo pretende abrir el camino examinando algunos motivos teóricos y em píricos para pensar que los ayuntamientos rurales se diferencian de los urbanos en su pro sión a acomodar las prácticas culturales de los inmigrantes, así como en sus pen principales áreas de intervención. El análisis comparativo de 12 municipios de las provincias españolas de Alicante y Valencia sugiere que las políticas de integr…
Optical Characterization Method for Tilted or Decentered Intraocular Lenses
2016
Purpose To test and validate a method for measuring the optical quality and optical power of monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) in the presence of a tilt or a decentration as well as its optical power. Methods The experimental system consists of an artificial eye (wet-cell) and a commercial aberrometer with a Shack-Hartmann sensor. Optical image quality parameters such as point spread function (PSF), modulation transfer function (MTF), and the simulations of the retinal image of an extended object are computed from the in vitro wavefront data of an IOL. Repeatability and reproducibility of the system are tested. Mathematical and ray-tracing simulations are used to ascertain the precision a…

Reglamentowana odwilż. Obóz „zamkowy” na emigracji wobec wydarzeń w Polsce i bloku komunistycznym w 1956 roku
2016
The article presents the position of “the Castle” on emigration (the President, government and the Council of the Republic of Poland) towards the events in Poland and the Eastern Bloc in 1956. The politicians and publicists of “the Castle”, observing some changes in the country, did not expect that they would lead to basic changes. The opinion prevailed that Poland was not an independent state and that the Soviet occupation still persisted. Propagating maximum demands (independence, restoration of the pre-war border in the east), they did not have much hope in an evolutionary course of changes. They opted for a deposition, and not a liberalisation of the communist system in Poland and the r…
Family Carers’ Expectations and Strategies in Shaping Live-in Migrant Carer Arrangements: A Comparison Between Germany and the Netherlands
2021
Item does not contain fulltext This chapter analyzes different old-age care regimes with regard to the expectations family carers have vis-á-vis live-in migrant carer arrangements and the strategies they develop to shape them.

While Germany’s old-age care regime places a high responsibility and financial burden on the family, the Netherlands provides a broad range of publicly funded health and social care services. The analysis reveals both differences and similarities between family carers in both countries. It shows that family carers in Germany rather favor family-like arrangements, whereas family carers …

Paradise Lost? The Collapse of Dutch Multiculturalism and the Birth of Islamophobic Post-Liberalism
2013
The aim of this chapter is to shed light on the integration debate in the Netherlands, and especially on the prominent role of Islam and cultural issues in this debate (Boomkens 2010: 307). Arguably more than in any other European country, anti-Islamic sentiment has produced political consequences, including the formation of three political parties on a principally anti-Islamic platform (Leefbar Nederland (Liveable Netherlands), List Pim Fortuyn and Partij voor de Vrijheid (Freedom Party)) since 2000 and the dismantling of key aspects of state-supported multiculturalism, including a cessation of ethnic monitoring of labour market participation, the withdrawal of national-level funding for m…
