The return of young professionals to Rezekne
2018
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Jauno speciālistu atgriešanās Rēzeknē”. Šī pētījuma galvenais mērķis ir noskaidrot, kādi ir noteicošie faktori, kas pamudina jaunos speciālistus atgriezties Rēzeknē. Pētījuma objekts ir Rēzeknes iedzīvotāji, kuri pēc vidējās izglītības iegūšanas Rēzeknē ir devušies uz citu Latvijas pilsētu iegūt augstāko izglītību un kuri, ieguvuši augstāko izglītību, ir pēdējo 5 gadu laikā atgriezušies uz dzīvi Rēzeknē. Darba teorētiskais pamatojums ir balstīts uz migrācijas, iekšējās migrācijas skaidrojumu un klasifikāciju, kā arī teorijām par piederību vietai un saitēm ar pilsētu. Darbā tika izmantotas kvalitatīvās pētniecības metodes – tika veiktas 13 daļēji strukturētās intervi…
Implementing cloud ERP solutions: a review of sociotechnical concerns
2018
Abstract Cloud ERP solutions allow organizations of all sizes to support and coordinate key business processes by leveraging virtualization. Nevertheless, the implementation of cloud ERPs is not straightforward and there are significant issues that need to be taken into account when launching cloud ERP initiatives. To explore these issues, we conducted an in-depth systematic review of related research literature. We identified six key issues related to cloud ERP implementation: a) functionality fit, b) integration, c) data migration, d) organizational change, e) data security, and f) reliability. Furthermore, we mapped these issues to the different sizes of organizations. Based on this revi…
Physical Methods for Enhancing Oral Mucosal Delivery: Sonophoresis, Iontophoresis and Electroporation
2015
The need for more rapid onset of action and improved absorption of medications has resulted in great development of drug delivery technologies. Transmucosal drug delivery offers a convenient route of administration for a variety of clinical indications. Unfortunately, the wide variability in structure of the oral mucosal tissues could constitute a key factor in drug penetration and absorption. To circumvent this obstacle and to increase the drug flux through the mucosal membranes, different approaches to permeation enhancement are used. This chapter describes the most significant aspects of the physical techniques widely used such as sonophoresis, iontophoresis, and electroporation. These p…
Migration in southern Europe: The peripheral incorporation in crisis
2016
En este trabajo se analizan los resultados principales de una investigación comparativa sobre la migración, la integración social de los migrantes y las políticas públicas hacia los inmigrantes en Campania (Italia) y Extremadura (España). Nuestra perspectiva se basa en el concepto de incorporación periférica de los inmigrantes en la sociedad local. Nuestro punto de partida, por lo tanto, fue la idea de que, en estas regiones poco desarrolladas del sur de Europa, la sociedad local incluye a los inmigrantes en la medida en que ayudan en hacer frente a la globalización económica y la reducción de las políticas sociales. La investigación, realizada en 2014 principalmente a través de una encuest…
ACCULTURATION STUDIES IN SPAIN IN THE LAST DECADE
2017
In a globalized world, numerous groups of people come into permanent contact with each other and experience psychosocial changes. These changes, produced during contact between culturally different groups, are called acculturation. In the present study, a systematic review was carried out of 18 journal articles that have researched this phenomenon over the last decade (2005-2015) in Spain. The results show that the main topics studied are the areas of nuclear and peripheral acculturation, the role of prejudice in the adoption of one acculturation style or another, the influence of the acculturation strategies adopted on people’s mental health and other variables that influence the process o…
L'Espagne, un nouveau pays d'immigration : l'exemple des immigrées roumaines (analyse comparative)
2013
This survey focuses on the immigration phenomenon in Spain and its impact on contemporary Spanish society. Studying how numerous immigrants have been settling in Spain is a way to account for the evolution of Spanish society: on the one hand by analysing how and why a country that traditionally used to export its labour-force could attract immigrants; and on the other hand by examining how Spain has been managing these influxes. This phenomenon shall be approached thanks to the case of Romanian women. For the last couple of years, Romanians have been the largest group of foreign nationals in Spain. I shall herein set to describe the various stages and characteristics of Romanian immigration…
Auf dem internationalen Eis : Internationale berufliche Mobilität und Sprachressourcen im Sport
2015
Tässä pro gradu-tutkielmassa käsitellään jääkiekkoilijoiden työperäistä, kansainvälistä liikkuvuutta ja kieliresursseja. Tutkielma on koottu kolmen teemahaastattelun ympärille, jotka käytiin kahden suomalaisen jääkiekkoilijan sekä yhden suomalaisen jääkiekkovalmentajan kanssa Sveitsissä vuoden 2014 tammikuussa. Haastateltavat toimivat haastattelujen aikana jääkiekon parissa Sveitsin NLA-liigassa. Tutkielman näkökulmaksi rajautui siis suomalaisiin jääkiekkotoimijoihin Sveitsissä. Haastattelujen toteuttamiseen sain rahallista avustusta SVFF-yhdistykseltä Sveitsistä. Haastattelut käytiin suomeksi. Aineisto käsiteltiin laadullisen sisällönanalyysin keinoin. Kiinnostus aiheeseen syntyi tehdessän…
Spring raptor migration at Ustica, southern Italy
2004
The island of Ustica, lying at 38°42’N 13°12’E in the Tyrrhenian Sea, is approximately 60 km north of western Sicily and 270 km northeast of the Cap Bon promontory in Tunisia (fig.1). Although covering an area of only 7,600 ha, its isolation makes it attractive to migrant birds. In order to establish the importance of Ustica for the spring migration of raptors in the Mediterranean basin, counts of migrating raptors were made from the highest point of the Falconiera promontory, which dominates the northeast coast of the island, between 22nd March and 20th May 2002.Each spring, thousands of raptors cross the Mediterranean Sea between Africa and southern Italy during their northward migration …
One-dimensional random walks with self-blocking immigration
2017
We consider a system of independent one-dimensional random walkers where new particles are added at the origin at fixed rate whenever there is no older particle present at the origin. A Poisson ansatz leads to a semi-linear lattice heat equation and predicts that starting from the empty configuration the total number of particles grows as $c \sqrt{t} \log t$. We confirm this prediction and also describe the asymptotic macroscopic profile of the particle configuration.
A network analysis of student mobility patterns from high school to master’s
2021
Human migration involves the movement of people from one place to another. An example of undirected migration is Italian student mobility where students move from the South to the Center-North. This kind of mobility has become of general interest, and this work explores student mobility from Sicily towards universities outside the island. The data used in this paper regards six cohorts of students, from 2008/09 to 2013/14. In particular, our goal is to study the 3-step migration path: the area of origin (Sicilian provinces), the regional university for the bachelor’s degree, and the regional university for the master’s. Our analysis is conducted by building a multipartite network with four …
