The incidence of psychotic disorders among migrants and minority ethnic groups in Europe: findings from the multinational EU-GEI study
2022
AbstractBackgroundIn Europe, the incidence of psychotic disorder is high in certain migrant and minority ethnic groups (hence: ‘minorities’). However, it is unknown how the incidence pattern for these groups varies within this continent. Our objective was to compare, across sites in France, Italy, Spain, the UK and the Netherlands, the incidence rates for minorities and the incidence rate ratios (IRRs, minorities v. the local reference population).MethodsThe European Network of National Schizophrenia Networks Studying Gene–Environment Interactions (EU-GEI) study was conducted between 2010 and 2015. We analyzed data on incident cases of non-organic psychosis (International Classification of …

Moreover, we summarized the guidelines about immigrants mental health care and we focused on the barriers caused by language. We individuated 15 papers reporting data…
Molecular Surveillance of HIV-1 in Madrid, Spain: a Phylogeographic Analysis ▿
2011
ABSTRACT The molecular epidemiology of HIV-1 is constantly changing, mainly as a result of human migratory flows and the high adaptive ability of the virus. In recent years, Spain has become one of Europe's main destinations for immigrants and one of the western European countries with the highest rates of HIV-positive patients. Using a phylogeographic approach, we have analyzed the relationship between HIV-1 variants detected in immigrant and native populations of the urban area of Madrid. Our project was based on two coincidental facts. First, resistance tests were extended to naïve and newly diagnosed patients, and second, the Spanish government legislated the provision of legal status t…

Mediju lietojuma izmaiņas nepazīstamā vidē: imigrantu un apmaiņas studentu pieredzes un vajadzību salīdzinājums
2016
Bakalaura darba “Mediju lietojuma izmaiņas nepazīstamā vidē: imigrantu un apmaiņas studentu pieredzes un vajadzības salīdzinājums” mērķis ir noskaidrot un salīdzināt mediju lietojuma paradumus, vajadzības un to izmaiņas, mainot dzīvesvietu uz Latviju. Pētījuma pieeja tika balstīts uz izmantošanas un vajadzības apmierināšanas teoriju. Pētījuma metodes ir 4 daļēji strukturētas intervijas ar apmaiņas studentiem un 4 ar imigrantiem, kā arī anketēšana, kurā piedalījās 164 respondenti. Rezultāti norāda, ka mediju lietojums, pārceļoties uz Latviju, ir mainījies; nozīmīgākās izmaiņas ir saistītas ar sociālo tīklu lietojuma biežumu. Nav novērotas būtiskas atšķirības mediju lietojumā un izmaiņās vaja…
“Throwing into the Whirlwind Vortex”: Unaccounted Memoirs about Blok by S. Korenev
2021
The article examines certain plots of the “Blok theme” in the 1920s Riga periodicals, which had not previously attracted the attention of researchers. The Russian press of independent Latvia (1919 –1940) has preserved many tens, if not hundreds, of articles, correspondences, documents, poetic texts dedicated to A.A. Blok’s personality and works. Among them are memoirs of people who were familiar with the poet, met with him, listened to his speeches. However, most of these scattered memoirs remain forgotten and are not taken into account in the Blok studies. The author recalls the texts of V.V. Tretyakov, A.M. Perfiliev and republishes from the Riga newspaper “Slovo” a memorial article about…

Covid-19 and Inequalities. Protecting Human Rights of Migrants in a Time of Pandemic
2020
By focusing on the Italian context, this article explores the human rights violations that migrants systematically experience and that the current health crisis is unveiling and, in turn, producing. In particular, we look at these dynamics by taking into account four issues/dimensions: the access to essential services and benefits, such as food vouchers; working and living conditions; conditions in reception and detention centres; and the denial of entry to reach ports of safety.
