Familias interculturales: aspectos psicosociales de un fenomeno en construccion - Bicultural couples: from family to community

2012

The research examines the dynamics of bicultural couples in which one partner is autochthonous and the other is of foreign nationality. Two levels of analysis were considered: a macro level studying the identity of place in reference to the general social context and the residential neighbourhood, in particular; the second level refers to the dynamics of the couple and examines the strategies for managing differences between partners and the educational styles adopted in the presence of children. According to the basic assumptions of qualitative research, 42 mixed couples living in Sicily were interviewed. To analyse the contents which emerged from interviews the Atlas.ti software was used.…

Searching for the Self : Adult International Adoptees’ Narratives of Their Search for and Reunion With Their Birth Families

2019

In this case study, five international adoptees from Finland were interviewed about their search and reunion experiences to find out what meanings they ascribed to their identities and family relations. The thematic analysis yielded three themes: search and reunion in significant periods of life, meaning of reunion for identity, and belonging and relatedness within family. The first theme was characterized by the changing interest in birth family from the inability in childhood to fully understand the meaning of adoption and the growing interest in adolescence to adulthood where participants’ own parenthood intensified their interest. The second theme was characterized by the sense of coher…

On the real identity of the Strelitzia cultivated in Sicily’s historic gardens

2016

The authors, on the basis of field observations and literature search, conclude that all tree-like plants of Strelitzia grown in Sicily belong to Strelitzia nicolaii. Therefore Strelitzia alba (= Strelitzia augusta), which was generally considered to be commonly cultivated in Sicily since the nineteenth century, if it ever was cultivated on the island, is not currently found there. The Lectotypes of the names S. nicolaii and S. alba are here designated.

Whole-Genome Analyses

2014

Abstract Average nucleotide identity (ANI) was proposed almost 10 years ago as a means to compare genetic relatedness among prokaryotic strains. It was found that values around 95% corresponded to the 70% DNA–DNA hybridization cut-off value that is widely used to delineate archaeal and bacterial species. ANI calculations are one of the many aspects and approaches that can be derived from comparative genomic data and used for taxonomic purposes. Here, an overview about the impact and current usage of ANI values is given together with details of the existing user-friendly package tool, the biology-oriented software package JSpecies, which can be used to generate two types of ANI calculations …

Wielokulturowość : przekraczanie (nie)widzialnych granic

2018

At first the interest in multiculturalism started in societies shaped by the immigration process. They were Canada and Australia, which in the 70s adopted, as the foundation of existence, the official policy of multiculturalism. Today, the interest in multiculturalism is centered mainly on Western European countries and increasingly Central-Eastern Europe. This is connected with the increasing number of refugees and immigrants arriving on the Old Continent. This situation is perceived as an important cause of many problems, including, above all, terrorist acts. The events in France, Belgium or Germany confirm such a thinking. Contemporary interest in multiculturalism helps its unequivocal u…
