Care and reunification in a Cape Verdean family: Changing articulations of family and legal ties
2018
This article looks at the interaction between transnational family relationships, on the one hand, and family-related immigration policies, on the other. Taking the conflicting concerns that arose between administrative decision-makers and family members during an attempt to reunite a Cape Verdean family spread across several countries as an example, the questions of what ‘family’ means, what relationships are included and the nature of the relationships involved answered differently by different actors will be shown. The article discusses the way in which the regulation of transnational mobility according to specific categories of eligibility is giving social ties a concrete legal form whi…
El terror de la inmunidad: Brasil, años 60 / Inmunity terror: Brazil in the sixties
2017
Resumen: El ensayo busca comprender la relación entre política y cuerpo humano, la así llamada biopolítica, en textos de Lucio Cardoso, Clarice Lispector y otros escritores contemporáneos brasileños, en que se verifica la convergencia de biología y política en un sistema unificado que somete el cuerpo a la violencia directa del orden político. Cuanto más amenazada de ser infectada por elementos extraños se sintió la sociedad brasileña, tanto más los individuos y la sociedad se recluyeron en fronteras protectivas, forzando la elección entre una respuesta auto-destructiva y una alternativa radical basada en un nuevo concepto de comunidad.

THE CONCEPT OF “FAMILY” IN SOMALIS’ IMMIGRATION TO FINLAND Views from Immigration Officials and NGOs
2016
In Addis Ababa one can see dozens of Somali families waiting daily in front of the Embassy of Finland to be interviewed. The interview represents a means of entering Finland, since those waiting presumably have a so-called family re-unifier in Finland, a relative who has of ten already received a residence permit and sometimes even citizenship. This article examines the family reunification process of Somalis who travel from Ethiopia to Finland. Drawing on the experiences related by Finnish immigration officials, it focuses on the fact that they do not share the same definition of “family” as the Somali asylum applicants. Using extensive inter views and observations, this article aims to el…
Electrochemical discrimination of mints: The last Chinese emperors Kuang Hsü and Hsüan T'ung monetary unification.
2017
[EN] An electrochemical methodology for discriminating monetary emissions, a recurrent problem in much archaeological studies, is introduced. The method is based on the record of voltammetric signatures of cuprite and tenorite corrosion products in the patina using a minimally invasive nanosampling following the voltammetry of immobilized particles methodology. A model for the depth variation of voltammetric electrochemical parameters characterizing the composition of the corrosion patinas is presented. This model permits to rationalize electrochemical data and discriminate different monetary emissions. The application of this technique, corroborated by electrochemical impedance spectroscop…
Metamodel specialization for graphical modeling language support
2016
Most of current modeling languages are based on graphical diagrams. The concrete graphical syntax of these languages typically is defined informally -- by text and diagram examples. Only recently, starting from UML 2.5, a formalism is offered for defining the graphical syntax of UML. This formalism is based on Diagram Definition standard by OMG, where the main emphasis is on enabling diagram interchange between different tools implementing the given language. While this is crucial for standardized languages such as UML, this aspect is not so important for domain specific languages. In this paper an approach is offered for simple direct definition of concrete graphical syntax by means of met…
Concrete syntax-based find for graphical DSLs
2020
There are services available in the most software tools we have got used to like, copy, paste, cut, find, and replace. However, the state of the art is not so good with tools of graphical languages. Even many commercial modelling tools have limited support of the find feature. We propose to add find as a service of graphical DSL tool development frameworks. This way find is available in any DSL built using the DSL tool development framework. The concrete syntax-based find has been implemented as a service of the DSL tool development framework ajoo. Two graph-based languages: UML Activity diagrams and Deterministic Finite Automata (DFA) transition diagrams are used to demonstrate usage of th…
Domain specific simulation language for IT risk assessment
2011
Information technology systems represent the backbone of a company's operational infrastructure. A company's top management typically ensures that computer software and hardware mechanisms are adequate, functional and in adherence with regulatory guidelines and industry practices. Nowadays, due to depressed economic and increased intensity of performed operations, business highly recognizes the influence of effective Information Technology risk management on profitability. Design of Unified Modelling Language (UML) based Domain Specific language (DSL) described in this paper achieves synergy from in IT industry widely used UML modelling technique and the domain specific risk management exte…
Portfolio performance and the Euro: Prospects for new potential EMU members
2008
Abstract Entering the EMU removes currency risk for assets originating in the Euro area while diversification opportunities are likely reduced. Taking the perspective of an investor in one of the 12 countries that joined the EU in 2004–2007, we contrast actual optimal composition of international equity holdings against two artificial scenarios: costless hedging against exchange rate risk and presuming the local market to be part of the EMU. State specific optimal portfolios are determined from realized covariances for the period 2000–2006. Optimized risk is found smaller under currency unification and implied Sharp ratios signal significant benefits of EMU participation.
Paternitātes brīvprātīga atzīšana un apstrīdēšana
2022
Bakalaura darbā “Paternitātes brīvprātīga atzīšana un apstrīdēšana” autore ir identificējusi vairākas problēmas, kas attiecas uz paternitātes brīvprātīgu atzīšanu un apstrīdēšanu. Bērna aizsardzība starptautiskos dokumentos ir noteikta par primāru uzdevumu, tomēr atsevišķos gadījumos praksē tiek lemts, ievērojot arī bioloģisko vecāku cilvēktiesības. Latvijā paredzētais paternitātes brīvprātīgas atzīšanas regulējums pašlaik atbilst starptautisko tiesību principiem, to nostiprina arī Satversmes tiesas nolēmumi. Taču jāņem vērā, ka pašlaik notiek ģimenes tiesību principu saskaņošana Eiropas mērogos, un tas attiecas arī uz daudziem pamatjautājumiem, pašu jēdzienu paternitāte ieskaitot. Šis jēdz…
The electromagnetic and Proca fields revisited: A unified quantization
1997
Quantizing the electromagnetic field with a group formalism faces the difficulty of how to turn the traditional gauge transformation of the vector potential, Aμ(x) → Aμ(x) + ∂μφ(x), into a group law. In this paper, it is shown that the problem can be solved by looking at gauge transformations in a slightly different manner which, in addition, does not require introducing any BRST-like parameter. This gauge transformation does not appear explicitly in the group law of the symmetry but rather as the trajectories associated with generalized equations of motion generated by vector fields with null Noether invariants. In the new approach the parameters of the local group, U(1)(x, t), acquire dyn…
