Cultural Identity in Everyday Interactions at Work: Highly Skilled Female Russian Professionals in Finland

2013

The dominant research strands into social interaction in culturally diverse workplaces have focused on issues of organizational efficiency and discrimination, and they have treated cultural identity as static, monolithic, and universally shared. This study aims to problematize this view. It is argued that our understanding of cultural workplace diversity could be extended through the integration of interpretive and critical interpersonal communication theorizing on cultural identity as dynamic and processual, constructed between and among people in everyday workplace interactions and in relation to larger social, political, and historical forces. This argument is illustrated by an analysis …

El consumo de drogas en los adolescentes inmigrantes: implicaciones para la prevención

2009

El fuerte crecimiento de la inmigración está cambiando la confi guración de la sociedad española en un modo muy notable. El número de alumnos extranjeros en los centros educativos ha ido aumentando de forma continuada en la última década. Esa nueva realidad determina que toda una serie de conocimientos, relativamente bien establecidos sobre el consumo de drogas de los adolescentes, deban ser revisados para establecer pautas adecuadas para el desarrollo de programas de prevención adaptados a esta nueva realidad. En este trabajo, utilizando una muestra de 2.260 estudiantes de 1er y 2º ciclo de Educación Secundaria Obligatoria (E.S.O.), se analizan los patrones de consumo de los adolescentes i…

Aim To identify subgroups regarding paediatricians’ awareness, attitude, practice and satisfaction about management of Sleep-Disordered Breathing (SDB) in Italy using Latent Class Analysis (LCA). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on a large sample of Italian paediatricians.

LCA was used to discover underlying response patterns, thus allowing identification of respondent groups with similar awareness, attitude, practice and satisfaction. A logistic regression model was used to investigate which independent variables i…

Remittance behaviours of foreigners in Italy

2013

This paper intends to figure out why immigrants remit, what characteristics they have and, in particular, which of these individual characteristics influence (and in what sense) their remittance behaviours. In particular, it aims to verify the existence of a "time effect" during the migration process. The time effect supposes that the propensity and amount of remittances become less consistent as far as the immigrant integrates into the host country and the ties with the country of origin become less intense. In practice, according to this hypothesis, the evolution of the migration plan towards stabilisation in the new country, rather than to return home, would lead the migrant to invest mo…

Epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 cases in non-Italian nationals in Sicily: identifying vulnerable groups in the context of the COVID-19 pa…

2022

As in other parts of the world, undocumented migrants in Italy suffer worse health status due to their immigration enforcement situation and other vulnerabilities such as precarious illegal jobs, exploitation and abuse or barriers to higher education, with higher prevalence of chronic noncommunicable diseases. The COVID-19 pandemic, as other pandemics, has not affected everyone equally. The undocumented was one of the most affected groups with regard to hospitalization rates and mortality worldwide. Sicily is one of the gates of entrance to Europe for migrants and asylum seekers from Africa and Asia. Herein, we described the epidemiological characteristics of COVID-19 cases in Sicily to com…
