The good, the bad and the advantageous : Migrants’ attitudes towards other migrants
2023
There is a growing number of various ethnic groups in Finland. The attitudes and categorizations that host country nationals have and make regarding migrants is frequently researched. The attitudes that migrants have towards other migrants has, however, been much less researched. This paper provides an in-depth analysis that considers what factors are behind the attitudes that migrants form of other migrants and how these impact categorizations and hierarchies. The empirical research material of this study is based on 77 qualitative interviews with migrants living in Finland, carried out in 2018–2019. In the analysis, various theories of minority relations are applied. The research finds th…
Museos y la integración de refugiados en el Reino Unido.
2013
El proyecto analizado es parte de una investigación doctoral que examina los beneficios sociales, personales y psicosociales que los refugiados pueden derivar de las prácticas educativas de museos en el Reino Unido. Más específicamente el estudio investiga cómo los museos pueden fomentar la integración de los refugiados, contribuyendo a la eliminación de barreras derivadas de la falta de competencias lingüísticas y culturales. Con este fin, se analiza el trabajo realizado en los últimos 4 años por el Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts* con refugiados reasentados a través del Gateway Protection Programme, un esquema gestionado por el Home Office (Ministerio del Interior) y ACNUR (Alto Comision…
Migranti e operatori uniti in una flipped classroom. Un percorso di comunicazione interetnica per il benessere individuale e comunitario
2023
L’esigenza di arricchire la formazione professionale di chi lavora con, e per, i flussi migratori rappresenta una delle sfide da affrontare per il soddi sfacimento delle esigenze di una comunità multiculturale. Tra le differenti metodologie di interventi formativi è opportuno individuare quelli che pos sono essere più efficacy, ed efficienti, per la trasmissione dei contenuti atti a garantire il benessere individuale (operatori e migranti) e di comunità. La Flipped Classroom, realizzata a Palermo nel 2021, rappresenta un’esperienza adeguata al raggiungimento degli obiettivi formativi e delle finalità del corso, come la sensibilizzazione e la consapevolezza degli ope ratori (pedagogisti e ps…
L'incidenza del fatto religioso nei percorsi formativi della legge nell'Ordinamento italiano
2010
Lo Stato italiano non è indifferente al fenomeno religioso e non è separatista: mantiene una legge comune per le Confessioni religiose d’epoca precostituzionale (1929) sostanzialmente inadeguata: prevede un sistema di rapporti bilaterali di vertice con la Chiesa e con le Confessioni religiose (art. 7 e 8 Cost.). Per tanto occorre una lettura corretta del principio “supremo della laicità statale”, enunciato dalla Corte costituzionale nel 1987 con un’espressione non coincidente con l’uso comune e per tanto forviante. Esso, nella sostanza ribadisce il principio del pluralismo. Lo studio mette in rilievo il dato normativo secondo cui il pluralismo considerato dalla Costituzione repubblicana si …
Acoustic differentiation reflects mitochondrial lineages in Blyth's leaf warbler and white-tailed leaf warbler complexes (Aves: Phylloscopus reguloid…
2009
The present study evaluated the degree of differentiation between closely-related species of Blyth's leaf warbler complex (Phylloscopus reguloides s.l.) and white-tailed leaf warbler complex (Phylloscopus davisoni s.l.) by molecular (cytochrome b and 16S rRNA) and bioacoustic markers (sonagraphic analysis of songs). Molecular phylogenetic results corroborate the recently suggested splittings of the two former taxa into three and two species, respectively. By contrast to previous opinion, differentiation of territorial songs parallels the genetic diversification in both groups. In the P. reguloides group, all recently established species can be distinguished by a characteristic song pattern.…

Maternal representations and risk factors for depression in the migration process.
2013
During pregnancy and after childbirth women develop specific representations, expectations and fantasies about themselves and their children. Pregnancy involves both physical changes and relational and affective ones. The mother’s role is a culturally transmitted element that conveys values, myths and rules; birth can be considered as a cultural event with unique characteristics. A multi-factorial model is useful for tackling motherhood and depressive symptoms in migrant women, before and after delivery. The aim of this study is to analyse the motherhood experience in migrant women; data were collected during pregnancy and after delivery in order to evaluate maternal representation (IRMAG, …
Involvement of cities with county rights in financing tasks pertaining to physical culture
2018
Jednostki samorządu terytorialnego w Polsce są odpowiedzialne za działania z zakresu kultury fizycznej. Rosnąca liczba osób uprawiających sport, oddziaływanie społeczne i wychowawcze sportu wpływają na aktywność klubów sportowych i organizacji społecznych promujących kulturę fizyczną. Podczas gdy tylko niektóre organizacje sportowe są samowystarczalne pod względem ekonomicznym, dla większości z nich wsparcie publiczne pozostaje niezbędne. W Polsce, podobnie jak w większości krajów europejskich, jednym z głównych źródeł ich finansowania są dotacje ze środków publicznych. Miasta na prawach powiatu (MNPP), jako szczególny rodzaj gminy, podejmują zadania zarówno gmin, jak i powiatów. W sferze z…
Bidding for Research Funds. Inter-Fields Differences and Predictors of the Evaluation Scores: Insights from a Romanian National Competition for Postd…
2021
This study sought to address an important gap in the existent knowledge about the development of the Romanian research system by looking at a very specific population of young scholars who participated in the national competition for postdoctoral grants (2016) which included over 900 participants. The paper is structured by two main research objectives. Firstly, the analysis if focused on differences between scientific fields by looking at research entities which host young scholars’ grant proposals, gender balance, young scholars’ academic performance measured through a standardized indicator (Google Scholar H index), share of people trained abroad, and information about the evaluation pro…
Accountable to Whom? : The Use of Media to Communicate Educational Accountability to Latino Families in a California Middle School
2018
This paper explores how one Title I middle school in California responds to high-stakes accountability during an era of educational reform, and how one first-generation Latino immigrant family comes to understand the school’s focus on test scores, high expectations, and academic achievement. Drawing from a larger Language Socialization study that utilizes participation observation and interview data, the paper provides ethnographic snapshots to demonstrate the ways in which one school communicated under, with, and through high stakes educational reform policies via a variety of media while functioning under Program Improvement status, and how the focal family participated in and negotiated …
