Health diplomacy: spotlight on refugees and migrants
2019
Nowadays, refugees and migrants are the focus of intense political debate worldwide. From the public health perspective, population movement, including forced migration, is a complex phenomenon and is a high priority on the political and policy agenda of most WHO Member States. Health diplomacy and the health of refugees and migrants are intrinsically linked. Human mobility is relevant to all countries and creates important challenges in terms of both sustainable development and human rights, to ensure equality and achieve results through the Sustainable Development Goals. This book is part of the WHO Regional Office for Europe’s commitment to work for the health of refugees and migrants. I…
Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in Ixodes ricinus ticks collected from migratory birds in Southern Norway
2010
Abstract Background Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (s.l.) are the causative agent for Lyme borreliosis (LB), the most common tick-borne disease in the northern hemisphere. Birds are considered important in the global dispersal of ticks and tick-borne pathogens through their migration. The present study is the first description of B. burgdorferi prevalence and genotypes in Ixodes ricinus ticks feeding on birds during spring and autumn migration in Norway. Methods 6538 migratory birds were captured and examined for ticks at Lista Bird Observatory during the spring and the autumn migration in 2008. 822 immature I. ricinus ticks were collected from 215 infested birds. Ticks were investigated f…
Effects of environment and genotype on dispersal differ across departure, transfer and settlement in a butterfly metapopulation
2022
Active dispersal is driven by extrinsic and intrinsic factors at the three stages of departure, transfer and settlement. Most empirical studies capture only one stage of this complex process, and knowledge of how much can be generalized from one stage to another remains unknown. Here we use genetic assignment tests to reconstruct dispersal across 5 years and 232 habitat patches of a Glanville fritillary butterfly ( Melitaea cinxia ) metapopulation. We link individual dispersal events to weather, landscape structure, size and quality of habitat patches, and individual genotype to identify the factors that influence the three stages of dispersal and post-settlement survival. We found that ne…
Migration Techniques in HPC Environments
2014
Process migration is an important feature in modern computing centers as it allows for a more efficient use and maintenance of hardware. Especially in virtualized infrastructures it is successfully exploited by schemes for load balancing and energy efficiency. One can divide the tools and techniques into three groups: Process-level migration, virtual machine migration, and container-based migration.

Crimmigration e tutela della vittima nel reato di tratta di esseri umani : aspetti processuali
2021
Lo strumentario sostanziale e processuale negli ultimi anni ha proiettato la logica del nemico sullo straniero. Una forte crimmigration si è abbinata alla tutela delle vittime dei fenomeni di tratta e di traffico di esseri umani. Guardando in una dimensione integrata di tutela alle dimensioni dei fenomeni e ai legami con la criminalità organizzata, si analizzano le linee di politiche criminali più repressive e le proiezioni processuali della «vulnerabilità». Caratterizzanti e problematici appaiono: la delineazione delle vittime, il complesso radicamento della giurisdizione nazionale, il “doppio gioco” della fattispecie associativa e l’utilizzo della aggravante della transnazionalità, così c…
Interpretación social y accesibilidad. Una propuesta de conexión disciplinar
2020
El objetivo de este estudio es ofrecer argumentos para entender la actividad propia de la interpretación social como parte del dominio genérico de la accesibilidad. Al hacerlo no ampliamos en realidad el concepto de accesibilidad, sino que reforzamos aquello que justifica el uso de este término, para diferenciar una parcela de actividad dentro de la práctica general de la traducción y la interpretación. Con el tema de la accesibilidad sucede que se ha manejado una etiqueta sin una delimitación conceptual previa de lo que se pretende designar por medio de ella. En este estudio nos ocupamos brevemente de esta tarea de aproximación conceptual, con el objetivo de incluir bajo el abanico de las …
Formed Emigration: A Qualitative Study About Spanish Graduated Experiences And Adaptation Abroad
2019
In the past few years, Spain has gone through an economic recession that has impeded the development of professional opportunities for young graduates. Consequently, there is an increasing migration of young graduates across borders to work abroad. The aim of this qualitative research carried out through a case study, is to examine the experiences of Spanish graduates in developing a professional career abroad, specifically in Germany. Ten interviews were analyzed through inductive content analysis. Our results indicate that the migration of young Spaniards to work abroad is the result of economic and/or professional need rather than choice. Furthermore, language proficiency was found to be…
