Refugees and migrants in times of COVID-19: mapping trends of public health and migration policies and practices
2021
Refugees and migrants have been disproportionately affected by both the direct effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictive migration measures put in place, which, in turn, have hampered coordinated and consistent public health responses. This report maps how the needs of refugee and migrant have been addressed in COVID-19 responses across countries and how these have varied considerably from inclusive policies to discriminatory practices. Many countries ensured access to health care for refugees and migrants regardless of migration status, and several countries also suspended forced returns and prioritized alternatives to immigration detention. An integrated approach to migration a…
Access to Preventive Health Care for Undocumented Migrants: A Comparative Study of Germany, the Netherlands and Spain from a Human Rights Perspective
2016
The present study analyzes the preventive health care provisions for nationals and undocumented migrants in Germany, the Netherlands and Spain in light of four indicators derived from the United Nations Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights’ General Comment 14 (GC 14).

Migranti senza fissa dimora nella Sicilia occidentale: dalla «doppia mancanza ai processi di resilienza e socialità interstiziale»
2018
The proposal aims to highlight the self-representations of homeless – economic migrant who transform the personal project of a different life in Italy in an exercise of survival. This modifies the perception of the self through the subversion of specific categories of «presentified time» and space de- limited by their skills of perceiving their immediate surrounding space as a branch of their own bodies. The reflection focuses on the effects of experience of 47 migrants interviewed in two different mo- ments and after almost two years after the first interview. The focus of research is an analysis of concept of abjection as self-perception of an irreversible degradation condition that block…
The Trade Creation Effect of Immigrants: Evidence from the Remarkable Case of Spain
2010
There is abundant evidence that immigrant networks are associated with larger exports from the country where they settle to their countries of origin. The direction of causality of this association is less clearly established. Also, we do not know to what extent these increased exports are due to an increase in the number of exporting firms (i.e. the extensive margin of trade) or due to larger values exported by existing firm (i.e. the intensive margin). Using micro data on individual trade transactions from Spanish provinces between 1995 and 2008 and data on the stock of immigrants in those provinces by country of origin we can make progress on both fronts. The richness of our data allows …

Darbaspēka migrācijas ietekme uz ekonomisko un sociālo attīstību Latvijā
2019
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Darbaspēka migrācijas ietekme uz ekonomisko un sociālo attīstību Latvijā”. Migrācija ir viens no svarīgākajiem faktoriem jebkuras valsts tautsaimniecībā un attīstībā. Latvija kopš iestāšanās Eiropas Savienībā izmanto dažādas priekšrocības, kas ir kalpojušas gan kā pozitīvi, tāpat arī negatīvi ekonomiskie faktori. No vienas puses cilvēkiem ir vairāk iespēju, ir iespējams celt savu labklājības līmeni, tie var brīvi pārvietoties, lai gūtu lielāku atalgojumu, labākus dzīves apstākļus un kopumā celtu savu dzīves kvalitāti. Brīva darbaspēka pārvietošanās vistiešāk ietekmē cilvēkkapitālu, kas ir negatīvs rādītājs konkrēti Latvijas piemērā, jo pārāk plaša cilvēku izceļošana…

Pluriculturalidad, Multiculturalidad e Interculturalidad, conocimientos necesarios para la labor docente
2012
El conocimiento de la terminología derivada del fenómeno migratorio es de gran importancia para el docente de todas las etapas educativas, debido a que las aulas españolas cuentan con hijos de inmigrantes que tienen derecho a ser atendidos en igualdad de condiciones. Toda intervención educativa en situaciones de Pluriculturalidad debe partir de un conocimiento por parte del docente de lo que implican conceptos como Interculturalidad o Multiculturalidad; así, resulta imprescindible que el educador conozca esos términos relacionados con la Pluriculturalidad como base teórica de su propuesta educativa que espere desarrollar en el aula. El conocimiento de conceptos como cultura, Pluriculturalid…
La inmigración infantil y el tráfico de menores como forma de crimen y esclavitud en el siglo XXI.
2017
Este artículo crítica el fenómeno de la inmigración infantil como crimen moderno contra la humanidad, un problema que paradójicamente se incrementa con los años. La gravedad de esta situación es sin duda todavía más acuciante cuando este tipo de esclavitud y este tráfico humano afectan al menor y se convierte en explotación infantil.
A case of disseminated BCG infection in a daughter of Italian immigrants in Switzerland
2022
Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) is a vaccine against tuberculosis and contains a live, attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis as its essential constituent. Being a live, attenuated strain with potential pathogenicity, BCG can cause different complications, both near the inoculation site and through blood dissemination, especially in patients with immunodeficiency. IFN-γR1 deficiency is an autosomal recessively inherited immunodeficiency characterized by predisposition to infections with intracellular pathogens, in particular mycobacteria.
 We report a rare case of chronic osteomyelitis lasting 30 years due to BCG in a woman with IFN-γR1 deficiency who had previous clinical history of …
