The good, the bad and the advantageous : Migrants’ attitudes towards other migrants

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…

Violence at School: A Sample of Young Muslims and Young Valencians
2014
AbstractViolence at school is considered to be an important issue in Spain, despite the fact that the majority of secondary education students reject it. Over the last decade awareness has been raised with regard to this problem. In this study we aim to analyze the perception of school violence held by two very different groups of secondary education students. A sample of young Muslims (n=88) and young Valencians (n=88) (aged between 12 and 18) has been used, all of whom live in the city of Valencia (Spain) and study in 12 secondary educational centers in the city. We observed significant differences in the perception that young Muslims and Valencians have of this violence. Both groups reje…

Starptautisko cilvēktiesību normu ievērošana migrācijas lietu jautājumos no 1990. līdz 2019. gadam: Austrālijas un Kanādas gadījuma analīze
2019
Šī ir Austrālijas un Kanādas gadījuma analīze par starptautisko cilvēktiesību normu ievērošanu migrācijas lietu jautājumos no 1990. gada līdz 2019. gadam.: Austrālijas un Kanādas gadījums. Mūsdienās migrācijai un cilvēku mobilitātei ir liela nozīme, jo ar migrāciju saistītie procesi nodrošina cilvēku un, līdz ar to, prasmju, zināšanu un inovāciju spēju pārvietoties gan starp dažādiem reģioniem vienas valsts ietvaros, gan starp dažādām valstīm. Jautājumiem, kuri sasaistīti ar migrāciju būs mūžīga aktualitāte un tie būs svarīgi dažādās izpausmēs. Vienmēr kādā reģionā uz pasaules pastāvēs jau esoši nozīmīgi migrācijas ceļi vai veidosies jauni, kurus nodrošinās mūsdienu pasaules mainība un augo…
Policy Makers', NGO, and Healthcare Workers' Accounts of Migrants' and Refugees' Healthcare Access Across Europe : Human Rights and Citizenship Based…
2020
Freely available healthcare, universally accessible to the population of citizens, is a key ideal for European welfare systems. As labor migration of the twentieth century gave way to the globalized streams of the twenty-first century, new challenges to fulfilling these ideals have emerged. The principle of freedom of movement, together with large-scale forced migration have led to large scale movements of people, making new demands on European healthcare systems which had previously been largely focused on meeting sedentary local populations' needs. Drawing on interviews with service providers working for NGOs and public healthcare systems and with policy makers across 10 European countrie…

Crisis and the strategies of immigrants in Spain: the Latin accent
2014
The crisis has started a new migration cycle in Spain. As an effect of the restrictive measures taken and the depth of the crisis, migrant inflows have reduced and outflows have increased, the latter especially among Latin Americans. This paper explores the impact of the crisis on migrant people and their families in terms of unemployment, of declining living conditions, and of legal uncertainty. In this situation, a growing minority of immigrants, particularly Latin Americans, implement transnational strategies such as return, circular migration and others. Notwithstanding this, most immigrants are facing the crisis here, combining work, social and family strategies.
