Abstract:
Catadromous fish species require adequate flows to migrate between fresh and saltwater habitats to reproduce. However, artificial barriers and flow alteration affect fish populations by reducing habitat connectivity and disrupting movement cues. In regulated rivers, it is critical that migratory flow requirements are quantified to optimise water allocation for multiple users. In the present study, we assessed the migratory timing, flow and estuarine aggregation requirements for Australian bass (Percalates novemaculeata). Over 2 years, 66 bass were tracked using an acoustic receiver array in the Logan River (Qld, Australia). Bass performed large-scale downstream movements in response to elevated winter flows (40 and 108m3 s–1), which facilitated migration to the lower estuary, where salinity conditions were appropriate for spawning. Bass migrations occurred only when gonads were mature, despite large flows providing opportunities for movement outside this period. Experimental flow releases from an impoundment (2.1m3 s–1) during winter did not elicit a migratory response. Connectivity between upstream and estuarine habitats was reduced by the presence of instream weirs, with downstream movement across weirs occurring only when sufficient flow magnitude was achieved (>76.1m3 s–1). These findings are relevant for water resource managers formulating environmental flow rules for catadromous fish species in systems with multiple instream artificial barriers.

Abstract:
Estimating the timing and magnitude of fish movements relative to environmental factors can provide insight into why fishes behave as they do. To make broad-level inferences about fish movement in lotic environments, we conducted random-effects meta-analyses on the effects of river flow magnitude on (i) non-migratory movements, (ii) upstream migratory movements, (iii) downstream migratory movements, and (iv) fine-scale activity. We found a significant positive effect of river discharge on non-migratory movements ([Formula: see text] = 0.41 (mean) ± 0.07 (SE), Z = 6.06, p < 0.01, k (sample size) = 27); fishes made larger and (or) more frequent movements during periods of elevated discharge. Furthermore, non-salmonids were more affected by river flow than salmonids. River discharge also had a significant positive effect on the rate, frequency, and probability of upstream migratory movements ([Formula: see text] = 0.23 ± 0.10, Z = 2.24, p < 0.05, k = 8). However, the effect of discharge on the rate of downstream migratory movements ([Formula: see text] = –0.05 ± 0.15, Z = –0.35, p > 0.05, k = 5) and fine-scale activity ([Formula: see text] = 0.01 ± 0.11, Z = 0.08, p > 0.05, k = 5) were not significant. Heterogeneity of effect sizes was evident in all meta-analyses as well as inclusion and (or) publication bias. Collectively, our meta-analyses suggested that changes to a river’s flow regime can modulate non-migratory fish behaviour, the consequences of which need to be explored in terms of habitat use and energy budgets. However, more studies are needed to examine potential effect modifiers and improve sample sizes overall.

Abstract:
Abstract Neotropical migrant birds have undergone significant changes in population size, due in part to alterations in the landscape in their breeding range. Some alterations have resulted in the isolation of areas containing optimal habitat for breeding. Isolation between habitat fragments could reduce gene flow between populations, which might result in loss of genetic variation due to genetic drift. To test whether isolation due to distance between populations may affect migratory birds as much as sedentary birds, we used four microsatellite loci as genetic markers to compare gene flow and population structure in migratory and sedentary House Wrens (Troglodytes aedon and T. musculus, respectively). If migratory behavior enhanced gene flow, we expected to find that populations of migratory birds were genetically more similar than populations of sedentary birds, and that gene flow declined more rapidly with distance in sedentary than in migratory populations. Blood samples were collected from 18–25 migratory House Wrens at each of six sites in Ohio separated by distances from 25 to over 300 km, and from 16–20 sedentary House Wrens at each of six sites in Costa Rica, also at distances up to 350 km. We used heterologous microsatellite primers to obtain estimates for RST (population subdivision) and Nm (number of immigrants per generation) in relation to distance between pairs of populations. In the migratory populations, Mantel permutational tests showed no effect of distance on RST or Nm at distances between 25 and 300 km. In the sedentary birds, RST increased and Nm decreased significantly as distance between populations increased from 25 to 300 km. FST values were not different from those obtained using Slatkin's (1995) RST statistics. These results are consistent with our hypothesis that migratory behavior enhances gene flow.

Abstract:
Summary The aim of the study conducted in 2009 - 2011 was to estimate the differences in the nectar and pollen oilseed rape flow exploitation by bee colonies kept in the stationary apiary (permanently located on the rape field) and in the migratory apiary. The migratory apiary was transferred to the rape field at the appropriate time and situated on the same area as the stationary apiary. Every study year, 8 bee colonies per apiary, in two apiaries of different types (stationary and migratory apiary), were prepared. The colonies from the migratory apiary were placed on the rape field when about 10% of rape flowers were blooming. During that time, bottom pollen traps were inserted into the hives of both apiaries. The pollen loads were collected every day, separately from each colony. After the end of the flow season, honey was extracted separately from each colony. The honey was weighed and samples were taken for the palynological analysis. The weather conditions were monitored during the whole study period. The average harvest of pollen loads from one bee colony during one day, was similar in both apiaries. The content of Brassica napus pollen was significantly higher in the pollen loads harvested from the migratory apiary. Despite the fact that the amounts of honey extracted from both apiaries were similar, the microscopic pollen analysis showed significantly higher percentage content of rape pollen in the honey from the migratory apiary. The results confirmed that placing the migratory apiary in the winter rape field at the time when about 10% of flowers were blooming resulted in a better exploitation of the rape flow by the bee colonies from this apiary in comparison to the colonies from the stationary apiary.

Abstract:
Abstract The Romanian population is the most important foreign population in Spain. Romanian migrants are characterized by their large number (about 800.000 residents and 268.000 contract workers) and their rapid growth. The economic and labour motivation for migration determines their geographical distribution, with high numbers of Romanian migrants in cities and in areas of agricultural, industrial and tourist industries. However, a high proportion of Romanian migrants also live in small towns and rural areas. Most of them were already illegal migrants when Romania entered the EU and they became EU citizens. From January 1st 2009, these once illegal migrants now have full freedom of employment in Spain. They adapt to circumstances of each period of time, in order to enter or to remain in the Spanish labour market. Most work in construction and agriculture as well as domestic services, trade, tourism and industries. The current economic crisis and the resulting unemployment have raised the issue of return migration to Romania.

Abstract:
Ex vivo culture conditions during the manufacturing process impact the therapeutic effect of cell-based products. Mimicking blood flow during ex vivo culture of monocytes has beneficial effects by preserving their migratory ability. However, the effects of shear flow on the inflammatory response have not been studied so far. Hence, the present study investigates the effects of shear flow on both blood-derived naïve and activated monocytes. The activation of monocytes was experimentally induced by granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), which acts as a pro-survival and growth factor on monocytes with a potential role in inflammation. Monocytes were cultured under dynamic (=shear flow) or static conditions while preventing monocytes' adherence by using cell-repellent surfaces to avoid adhesion-induced differentiation. After cultivation (40 h), cell size, viability, and cytokine secretion were evaluated, and the cells were further applied to functional tests on their migratory capacity, adherence, and metabolic activity. Our results demonstrate that the application of shear flow resulted in a decreased pro-inflammatory signaling concurrent with increased secretion of the anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 and increased migratory capacity. These features may improve the efficacy of monocyte-based therapeutic products as both the unwanted inflammatory signaling in blood circulation and the loss of migratory ability will be prevented.

Abstract:
Migratory barren-ground caribou (Rangifer tarandus groenlandicus) provide an opportunity to examine the genetic population structure of a migratory large mammal whose movements and distribution, in some instances, have not been heavily influenced by human activities that result in habitat loss or fragmentation. These caribou have likely reached large effective population sizes since their rapid radiation during the early Holocene despite cyclic changes in abundance. Migratory barren-ground caribou are managed as discrete subpopulations. We investigated genetic variation among those subpopulations to determine the patterns of genetic diversity within and among them, and the implications for long-term persistence of caribou. We identified three distinct genetic clusters across the Canadian arctic tundra: the first cluster consisted of all fully-continental migratory barren-ground subpopulations; the second cluster was the Dolphin and Union caribou; and the third cluster was caribou from Southampton Island. The Southampton Island caribou are especially genetically distinct from the other barren-ground type caribou. Gene flow among subpopulations varied across the range. Occasional gene flow across the sea-ice is likely the reason for high levels of genetic variation in the Dolphin and Union subpopulation, which experienced very low numbers in the past. These results suggest that for most migratory caribou subpopulations, connectivity among subpopulations plays an important role in maintaining natural genetic diversity. Our analyses provide insight into the levels of microsatellite genetic diversity and patterns of gene flow that may be common to large subpopulations that historically had a continuous distribution across a large continental range. These data can also be used as a benchmark to compare the effects of habitat fragmentation and bottlenecks on other large caribou populations.

Abstract:
SummaryOver recent years, Spain has undergone a huge expansion in the number of wind farms, many of which extend across regions crossed by migratory birds that winter in the Iberian Peninsula and Africa. This paper explores the potential impact these structures have on the massive flow of birds along the western Pyrenean flyway. Ringing recoveries of migratory Wood Pigeons Columba palumbus were used in the study to depict the movements of migratory birds and these were then compared to the distribution of wind farms. The main flow of pigeons (50% of ringing recoveries) was concentrated in a belt 50 km wide. Although the wind farms were mainly distributed outside this central belt, they intercepted an adjacent sector where a considerable number of ringed pigeons (30%) were recorded. This means that the two central bands (100 km wide) accounted for around 80% of the total number of Wood Pigeons crossing the region. These results suggest the need for a scrupulous evaluation of the potential impact of wind farms on migratory birds along this flyway, particularly the cumulative effect on populations crossing the region regularly. In view of the rapid expansion of wind farms in northern Spain, enforcement of the application of EU regulations on preventive measures to protect migratory species is urgently needed.

Orientadora: Profa. Dra. Adriana Capuano de Oliveira<br>Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Ciências Humanas e Sociais, 2014.<br>O fluxo migratório de haitianos para o Brasil teve início após o terremoto que destruiu Porto Príncipe, capital do Haiti, e arredores em 2010. Em pouco tempo a cidade de São Paulo passou a figurar como destino de parte considerável dos imigrantes que entravam no Brasil através das fronteiras amazônicas. A Missão Paz, entidade mantida pelos missionários scalabrinianos na região central de São Paulo, passou a abrigar os imigrantes desde então. O entorno desta tornou-se um local de referência para os haitianos em São Paulo. Nesta região vivem muitos imigrantes e trabalham outros tantos, sendo possível notar o surgimento de comércios co-étnicos empreendidos por imigrantes haitianos. O alto custo de vida leva parte dos imigrantes a buscar locais alternativos à região central de São Paulo, como bairros afastados e cidades da região metropolitana, como Santo André, município onde a presente pesquisa foi desenvolvida. Além do custo do aluguel mais baixo, fatores como facilidade de locação dos imóveis e meios de locomoção, são levados em consideração pelos imigrantes, sendo possível observar que as comunidades estão se formando em regiões próximas às estações de trens. Na região do Grande ABC a comunidade haitiana mais representativa localiza-se no Núcleo Ciganos, próximo à estação Utinga da Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos. O trabalho de campo realizado nesta comunidade nos levou à percepção de fenômenos comuns a diversos fluxos migratórios, bem como a apreensão de signos particulares dos haitianos evangélicos, grupo o qual nos inserimos. As redes de contato entre os haitianos estão em constante expansão, consolidando rotas migratórias diversas. Já é possível observar imigrantes que partem do Haiti diretamente para Santo André, o que não existia há até pouco tempo atrás. Reve de Brezil, em crioulo haitiano, alude ao "Sonho Brasileiro" dos haitianos; sonho este repleto de fantasias que se desfazem com a realidade cotidiana dos imigrantes que aqui chegam.<br>The migration of haitians to Brazil began after the earthquake that destroyed Port Prince, capital of Haiti, and surrounding areas in 2010. In a short time the city of São Paulo has been integrated as destination of large part of immigrants who entered in Brazil through the amazon borders. The Missão Paz, supported by the scalabrini missionaries in downtown São Paulo, has housed the immigrants since then. The surroundings of this have become a reference site for haitians. In this region many immigrants live and some of them work, it is possible to note the emergence of co-ethnics trades undertaken by haitian immigrants. The high cost of living leads the immigrants to seek alternative sites regarding to São Paulo downtown, as outer boroughs and cities of the metropolitan area, such as Santo André, the county where this research was conducted. Besides cheap rent, factors such as ease for rental property and means of transportation are taken into consideration by immigrants; it is possible to observe that communities are forming in regions close to train stations. In the Grande ABC region, the most representative haitian community are located at the Núcleo Ciganos, near Utinga station from the metropolitan train company. The fieldwork in this community led us to the perception of common phenomena to various migration flows, as well as the seizure of particular signs of evangelical haitians, group which we immersed ourselves. Contact networks among haitians are constantly expanding, consolidating several migratory routes. It is possible to observe immigrants who depart from Haiti directly to Santo André, which did not exist in a very short time ago. Reve de Brezil in Haitian Creole, alludes to the "Brazilian Dream" of Haitians; this dream full of fantasies which break with the daily reality of the immigrants who arrive here.

Abstract:
The Seattle District wants to better manage the Ballard Locks and structures along the Lake Washington Ship Canal (LWSC) in a way that will maintain the environmental sustainability and biodiversity in the area. Due to strict salt water intrusion regulations in the LWSC, the Seattle District is working on upgrading their management practices such that they will resolve two inter-related problems. First, to improve the fish passage conditions for migrating salmon; and second, to learn how to better manage the salt wedge that forms and intrudes upstream. Based on the hydrodynamic and water quality results that are produced by this research, the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Portland Office will use their Eulerian-Lagrangian-Agent-Model (ELAM) to analyze fish patterns, looking for the most beneficial management schemes that assist salmon in migrating upstream. This research implemented CFD engineering techniques to help better understand the effectiveness of the hydraulic structures in the area, as well as come up with management practices that both mitigate the salt water intrusion from Puget Sound, and improve the migrating passages for salmon.

The traffic of women is part of a context in which the criminal activity generally is practised by criminal groups organized with the purpose to dislocate women from a country to another to submit them to sexual exploration. This criminal action is a matter of extreme importance for the international community and impresses with its complexity and large sums involved. The concept of traffic of women is found in two sources, the Protocol of Palermo and article 231 of the Brazilian Criminal Code. The dissertation, divided into three chapters approaches initially the first theories to explain the migratory movements and the factors that motivate the spatial displacement of people. Second, we highlight the phenomenon of migration in its historical evolution, the human rights as fundamental human rights, and sexual exploitation of women by criminal organizations. In a third stage performs an analysis of the socioeconomic context of the Brazilian reality that determine the potential victims of trafficking in Brazil, Goiás and in the Brazil - Europe and presents the conditions sexual exploration to which these women are subjected, the profile of victims and offenders, the main trafficking routes and forms of recruitment. Finally, we present an analysis of guidelines set by the National Policy to Combat Human Trafficking. Thus, the focus of this work is to identify ways in which the crime of trafficking in persons is incorporated into the international scene today and, in particular in Brazil and in Goiás.<br>O objetivo central desta dissertação é avaliar, conceitual e empiricamente aspectos do tráfico internacional de mulheres para fins de exploração sexual em evolução histórica e as condições e o processo no Brasil e em Goiás. O tráfico de mulheres é parte de um contexto no qual a atividade criminosa é geralmente praticada por grupos criminosos organizados com a finalidade de deslocar mulheres de um país para outro a fim de submetê-las à exploração sexual. Essa ação criminal é assunto de extrema relevância para a comunidade internacional e impressiona pela sua complexidade e elevadas somas envolvidas. O conceito de tráfico de mulheres é encontrado em duas fontes, no Protocolo de Palermo e no artigo 231 do Código Penal Brasileiro. A dissertação, organizada em três capítulos, aborda inicialmente as teorias que explicam os movimentos migratórios e os fatores que motivam o deslocamento espacial de pessoas. Em segundo lugar, destacam-se o fenômeno migratório em sua evolução histórica, os direitos humanos enquanto direito fundamental da pessoa humana e a exploração sexual de mulheres por organizações criminosas. Em um terceiro momento, realiza-se uma análise do contexto socioeconômico da realidade brasileira que determina as potenciais vítimas do tráfico no Brasil e em Goiás no eixo Brasil Europa e apresenta-se as condições de exploração sexual a que são submetidas essas mulheres, o perfil das vítimas e dos aliciadores, as principais rotas e formas de recrutamento. Por fim, apresenta-se uma análise das diretrizes definidas pela Política Nacional de Enfrentamento ao tráfico de pessoas. Assim, o ponto central deste trabalho é identificar de que maneira o crime do tráfico de pessoas se encontra incorporado ao cenário internacional contemporâneo e, de forma particular, no Brasil e em Goiás.

O objeto de estudo desta tese é o controlo e gestão de fluxos migratórios em Moçambique no âmbito das alterações da legislação migratória ocorridas após a independência. O objetivo é compreender como é que a imigração foi percebida, compreendida e gerida neste período, considerando a evolução político-económica, o quadro legislativo e as práticas de controlo, designadamente nas fronteiras do país. Essencialmente, o estudo baseou-se na revisão da literatura relevante para o tema, em alguns dados estatísticos, em evidências das alterações na legislação sobre migrações, e nas perceções e perspetivas das autoridades moçambicanas e dos imigrantes. A relevância das primeiras resulta do seu papel central no quadro regulatório e na ação relativa à gestão e ao controlo das migrações, constituindo os segundos a população que se confronta diretamente com as estruturas de gestão migratória, sendo os “destinatários” últimos desta. Os dados foram recolhidos mediante entrevistas semiestruturadas, Grupos Focais com imigrantes, observação direta nos Postos de Travessia terrestre de Ressano Garcia e Machipanda e no Aeroporto Internacional de Maputo; para além da análise de documentos oficiais (Informes Anuais do Presidente da República e do Procurador-Geral da República à Assembleia da República), títulos e artigos sobre imigração publicados no Jornal Notícias de Moçambique e dados contidos nos cartões de desembarque preenchidos no Aeroporto Internacional de Maputo. O estudo concluiu que as experiências de pensamento trazidas da luta anti-colonial, a necessidade de afirmação da identidade moçambicana, preservação e consolidação das conquistas da independência nacional num contexto marcado pela Guerra de desestabilização entre a FRELIMO e a RENAMO por um lado e, pelas ameaças externas a partir da então Rodésia do Sul e da África do Sul, por outro, fundamentaram a adoção de uma abordagem securitária de gestão da imigração na era Socialista, onde os elementos de cunho ideológico explícito eram também evidentes. A emergência de novas ameaças no contexto Capitalista caracterizadas pela ocorrência do Crime Organizado Transnacional, como o tráfico de droga, de órgãos e seres humanos, contrabando, caça furtiva, roubo de gado e terrorismo reforçam o fundamento do incremento de medidas de segurança direcionadas para a gestão da mobilidade humana internacional que demanda o país, não obstante estes elementos se combinarem com imagens estereotipadas de alguns grupos de imigrantes e se detetarem, também, aspetos do discurso político que reconhecem benefícios associados à presença imigrante e a sua necessidade, em determinadas circunstâncias, de que é exemplo o esforço para promover a livre circulação na SADC. Em síntese, a conceção e regulação da imigração em Moçambique têm respondido à evolução dos contextos político-económicos macro e à representação destes, emergindo continuidades e descontinuidades relativamente às perspetivas securitárias e da livre circulação.<br>The object of study of this thesis is the control and management of migratory flows in Mozambique within the scope of the changes in migratory legislation that occurred after independence. The objective is to understand how immigration was perceived, understood managed in this period, considering the political-economic evolution, the legislative framework, and the control practices, namely at the country´s borders. Primarily, the study was based on the key literature review of the topic, on some statistical data, on evidences of changes in the legislation on migration and also on the perceptions and perspectives of Mozambican authorities and immigrants. The relevance of the former results from its central role in the regulatory framework and in the action related to the management and control of migration, with the latter constituing the population that is directly confronted with the structures of migratory management, being the final recipients of this. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews, Focus Groups with immigrants, direct observation at the Land Crossing Points of Ressano Garcia and Machipanda and at Maputo International Airport; as well as analysis of official documents (Annual Reports from the President of the Republic and the Attorney General to the National Assembly), titles and articles on immigration published in the Notícias de Moçambique newspaper and data contained in the landing cards filled out at Maputo International Airport. The study concluded that the thought experiences brought about by the anti-colonial struggle, the need to affirm the Mozambican identity, preservation and consolidation of the conquests of national independence in a context marked by the War of Destabilization between FRELIMO and RENAMO on the one hand and, by external threats from former Southern Rhodesia and South Africa, on the other, justified the adoption of a security approach of immigration management in the Socialist era, that was also marked by an explicit ideological dimension. The emergence of new threats in the Capitalist context characterized by the occurrence of Transnational Organized Crime, such as drug, human organs and human trafficking, smuggling, poaching, cattle theft and terrorism reinforce the guidances aiming the increase in security measures related the management of international human mobility in Mozambique, that are sometimes associated to stereotyped images of some groups of imigrants. On the oposite direction, it was possible to identify some elements present in the political discourse that recognize benefits associated with the immigrant presence and also the of migratory circulation, for instance within the efforts to promote free circulation in SADC. In summary, the conception and regulation of immigration in Mozambique has responded to the evolution of macro-economic contexts and their representaion, with continuities and discontinuities in relation to the security and free movement perspectives.<br>Ministério do Interior<br>Academia de Ciências Policiais

Abstract:
The Handbook of Migration Crises runs the gamut of situations that are constructed as crises in migration contexts around the globe, historically and contemporaneously. The volume deconstructs and questions representations of migrations as crises, examining how crises arise, what is a crisis, and how this concept is used in the media and politics in transit and receiving countries. As a whole, the volume unveils the structural forces and actors that contribute to the construction of migration crises. It highlights the role of the media and public officials in framing migratory flows as crises, revisits and redefines, through a critical lens, what is commonly understood as a “migration crisis.” The volume brings together an exceptional group of scholars from around the world to critically examine migration crises and to revisit the notion of crisis through the prism of the context in which permanent and non-permanent migration flows occur.

Abstract:
The Copperbelt region of Central Africa sits at the crossroads of political borders, trade corridors, migratory flows, and identity formations. The division of the region by a colonial/national border shaped not only its differential political economy, but also how this was perceived and represented. At the heart of all such representations was the relationship between minerals and their supposed capacity to effect economic, political, and social transformation. This article analyzes how this relationship has been understood and articulated from the precolonial period until today, and the ways that actual and potential mineral wealth have underwritten successive, often contested, political projects and aspirations. In identifying changes and enduring patterns in mining-based political representation, it suggests an alternative history of the Copperbelt region rooted in the political imaginaries surrounding mining and its potential for transformation.

Abstract:
Despite intense migratory flows between Mexico and the United States, migrants have had surprisingly low participation and impact in national politics in Mexico. Nevertheless, this book begins by hypothesizing that participation may be more robust and impact more noteworthy at the subnational level due to the fact that the economic and social importance of migration varies widely within Mexico. Based on this framing, three related research questions are presented and the need for a mixed-method approach to answer them addressed. While case studies of significant migrant impact are insufficient to fully capture the breadth of effects, quantitative studies are inadequate to the task of uncovering the historical processes and causal mechanisms behind observed correlations. Finally, the chapter summarizes the different data sources used, justifies the case selection rationale, and outlines the structure of the rest of the book.

Full text
Abstract:
Since the communautarisation of the Schengen acquis, the EU is meant to build a system of ‘integrated border management’ (IBM) to help ensuring the administration of migratory flows ‘at all their stages’. The idea is that effective entry control cannot be based solely on checks at the external borders of the Member States but ‘must cover every step taken by a third country national from the time he begins his journey to the time he reaches his destination’. EU entry/pre-entry controls thus comprise a series of extraterritorial measures carried out abroad. This chapter describes this evolution in detail. It traces the origins and development of IBM, covering institutional, constitutional, as well as legal and political changes to the present day. The recognition that the ‘strengthening of European border controls should not prevent access to protection systems by those people entitled to benefit under them’ is introduced also at this stage, providing the starting point to the entire research.

Abstract:
AbstractSignificant transformations in the migratory landscape of Greece have been observed recently. In practice, the mixed flows of migrants and refugees have modified the role of Greece as a migrant-receiving country. Immigration, in terms of either transit or settled immigrants, has become a major policy issue; additionally, it has mobilized national authorities, international bodies as well as formal and informal civil society organizations. Changes in the immigration landscape, along with adverse economic conditions, has led to further efforts by public authorities in the effective management of refugee flows and reducing the risks of irregular stay for a significant number of migrants. Despite significant developments in the legislative framework for the integration of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers (MRAs) into the labor market, their access to employment remains more of a secondary issue for policy actors.

Abstract:
This chapter presents an overview of the flow of Mexican immigration to the United States between the years of 1880 and 1934. It notes that two main factors were responsible for the influx of Mexican immigrants to the United States over this period of time, these being: 1) the expansion of the U.S. economy and integration of the southwestern states into the union, and 2) the difficult social and economic conditions that Mexico faced as a result of the expropriation of village communal lands and a decrease in wages on rural estates. This chapter also outlines the timeline of Mexican immigration throughout this period, from the late 19<sup>th</sup> to the middle of the 20<sup>th</sup> century, and analyses how momentous events, such as World War I and the Great Depression, spurred or deterred Mexican migration to the U.S., as well as the Mexican government’s various attempts to both encourage and curb repatriation.

Abstract:
&lt;em&gt;Abstract&lt;/em&gt;.—The Brazos River crosses eight ecoregions on its journey from New Mexico through the heart of Texas to the Gulf of Mexico. This diverse stream ecosystem supports at least 85 fish species, many of which—including two endangered, migratory, pelagic broadcast-spawning cyprinids, Smalleye Shiner &lt;em&gt;Notropis buccula &lt;/em&gt;and Sharpnose Shiner &lt;em&gt;N. oxyrhynchus&lt;/em&gt;—have life histories that track the natural flow regime. These two shiners were listed as endangered in part because of severe range reductions that left each with one viable population in the upper Brazos River. Given their short life span, a single adverse event, such as a persistent drought of two consecutive years, could lead to extinction. This concern was nearly realized in 2011 when a record drought and heatwave resulted in complete reproductive failure of these species, which led to rescue efforts for imperiled shiners confined to drying pools. Seventeen major reservoirs control streamflow and create distinct, disconnected fragments in the Brazos River basin. Long-term ecological studies have provided a strong science foundation for guiding water and environmental flow management and watershed conservation. Implementation of both upland and riparian best management practices in the upper Brazos River watershed, including management of invasive saltcedar &lt;em&gt;Tamarix &lt;/em&gt;spp., seeks to improve habitat for fish and wildlife. Hydrological monitoring and modeling is being conducted to evaluate the potential for saltcedar control to improve base flows. Identification of stream reaches most threatened by drying and where aquifer pumping may reduce groundwater inflows to streams is the focus of ongoing research on groundwater–surface water relationships. Fish passage barriers hinder successful recruitment, migration, and recolonization of prairie fishes. Removal and mitigation of barriers, as appropriate, will be critical to restoring ecological functions and connectivity required for migratory fishes. Research on propagation and repatriation of prairie fishes is needed to inform conservation and recovery efforts. A watershed-scale, multidisciplinary approach coordinated across borders and among entities is critical to ensure conservation efforts result in the persistence of native fishes in the Great Plains, including the Brazos River.

The authors outline how, as undocumented immigrants face danger throughout their journeys and challenges settling in U.S. communities, local civil society actors at each stage must ensure that their human and civil rights are respected. Policies that only address the migratory flow into the United States will not resolve issues of violence, poverty, and political exclusion in the countries of origin that force people to flee. Despite their lack of legal status in the United States, immigrant youth have a crucial role to play in ensuring a secure future—for others like them but also for U.S. civil society more broadly. The authors illustrate the ways that migrant youth have been taking the lead on articulating their visions for a better world, and discuss how—informed by youth advocacy—local communities and state governments can build effective networks, implement protective policies, and provide needed services.

&lt;em&gt;Abstract.&lt;/em&gt;—Although many hydroelectric dams have fishways for upstream passage of migratory fish, passage delays often occur at these sites. Migrational delay may affect fish detrimentally in several ways, including depletion of energy reserves, suboptimal arrival timing at spawning sites, and prolonged exposure to hazardous conditions at the face of dams. We applied time-to-event analyses to passage times of radio-tagged adult Chinook salmon &lt;em&gt;Oncorhynchus tshawytscha &lt;/em&gt;at four dams on the lower Columbia River, where many fish require several days to pass each dam. The analysis allowed us to determine instantaneous passage rates in response to fluctuating river conditions. By relating variability in passage rate to the predictor variables river temperature, river flow, and fish size, we determined the relative contribution of various factors to the passage time of migrating fish. We fit the model by maximizing the likelihood function that incorporated information from individuals rather than aggregated groups of fish. We used Akaike’s Information Criterion to distinguish among several competing models, each of which used a different predictor variable. We found that daytime passage rates were significantly greater than nighttime passage rates. Also, the influence of river flow, river temperature, and fish length on passage rates varied at the four dams. However, when a factor had a significant influence on passage time, the direction of the relationship was consistent across dams: river flow and fish length were positively related to passage time (greater values led to longer passage time), and river temperature was negatively related. This method is easily adaptable to study passage time of any fish population facing a broad range of obstacles to migration, whether natural or man-made.

Abstract:
Achieving cell adhesion, growth and homeostasis on an underlying biomaterial surface may be a desirable feature in implant device design and tissue engineering. Insight has been gained from numerous cell patterning strategies where spatial cues and physical constraints have been shown to regulate the structure and function of cells. Despite significant advances in modifying substrates for cellular attachment, migration and proliferation, the achievement of confluent and aligned growth of functional endothelial cells on cardiovascular blood-contacting implants under physiologically significant wall shear stress has proven difficult. Recently we have reported on a method that enhances cellular adhesion under flow conditions on synthetic polymer surfaces, without reliance on pro-adhesive protein biomaterials, which are often thrombogenic. In this method we utilize electron beam lithography and size-dependent self-assembly to fabricate line arrays of nanowells allowing entrapment and retention of charged nanoparticles, covalently conjugated with a RGD adhesive ligand, GRGDSPK. This approach is an additive strategy of combining substrata topographic alteration, electrostatic charge and biochemical ligands, all uniquely incorporated as an ensemble of charged, ligand-bearing nanoparticles entrapped in arrays of nanowells. However, the modulation of endothelial cell physiologic mechanisms as a result of ensemble surface exposure remains to be characterized. In this report, we extend our studies and probe cell physiologic mechanisms altered as a result of nanofeatured surface exposure. We first examined the functional intactness or normalcy of endothelial cells adherent to the nanofeatured ensemble surface utilizing standard immunostaining and flow cytometry methods. We found β1-integrin expression dominated quiescent adherent endothelial cells while αVβ3-integrins expression was more common in migratory cells. Endothelial cells were noted to express high levels of PECAM-1 over time when exposed to nanofeatured surface and RGD peptides. For understanding the contribution of the nanofeatured surface (entrapped RGD conjugated nanoparticles) to cell adhesion, cytochalasin B was used to alter cell spreading. Confocal microscopy illustrated the uptake of nanoparticles in endothelial cells on composite surfaces, as well as the inhibition of this endocytosis by cytochalasin B. After prohibiting the cells from engulfing nanoparticles, we found an 80% reduction in cell adhesion; suggesting that an endocytic mechanism might play a role in maintaining cell adhesion. Nanofeatured ensemble surfaces appear to be good substrates for achieving a high level of EC adhesion, with maintained growth and stability.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Hydrocarbon exploration continues to venture into new avenues. This paper elaborates the 3D geomechanical study carried out to identify sweet spots in Deccan Trap Basalts in depth ranging from 500m-1100m in Cambay basin field of India. The main challenge is wide variation in the rock mechanical properties and stress profiles along various azimuths resulting from different tectonic incidents over the geological ages. Several drilling complications and held ups during electro logging in highly deviated wells are also reported. The normal fault tectonic framework has the imprint of two sets of faults viz., NNW-SSE and ENE-WSW. Deccan Trap acts as reservoirs due to the presence of connected open fracture network and to assess the potential reserves a comprehensive 3D Critically stressed fracture analysis has been performed using 3D numerical simulation-based rock properties, in-situ stress and seismic data. Open hole geophysical logs like sonic dipole and borehole images have been used to estimate rock mechanical properties and stress profiles in 18 key wells. Available core data of Basalt in the area have been used for dynamic to static rock properties estimation along with available published literature data. Critically stressed fracture analysis using 1D MEM outputs and dips dataset has been performed at well scale to history match production logging and testing results of 23 wells located in different fault blocks. 3D stress model has been built using plasticity model while taking into account faults and fracture sets. Utilizing 3D Geomechanical properties and Discrete fracture network model, critically stressed fracture sets have been identified across the field with slip tolerance and effective drawdown pressures. The study suggests that structurally high locations are good producers if seals are present above Trap. Sub-horizontal fractures have a higher closing tendency with decline in pressure in layers with SHmax&amp;gt;SHmin&amp;gt;Sv inside stiff Trap layer. There is variation of slip tolerance in the range of 0.2-1.4 in fracture sets which indicates slip tendency to be varying both vertically and laterally. Faults with ENE-WSW strike seem to be fluid migratory conduits and their intersection with NNW-SSE discontinuities are the areas where fracture sets have a higher slip tendency. Most of the producing layers are within 25m-55m of Trap with water being encountered at deeper depth intervals. These are mostly weathered fractured layers within the trap. The stress map suggests rotation of the maximum horizontal stress azimuth from NW to E which also affects fracture intensity in the field. Few fracture sets have tendency to be slip prone even with depletion up to 300psi-800psi while others will require stimulation or acid clean up job. Eight exploration wells drilled based on the study have shown good flow rate on initial well testing in the area providing validation to the study.

Abstract:
São Paulo is the Brazilian state with the largest economic production, the largest population and the largest industrial park of the country, with a participation in GDP of 36.6% (population: 34 million; area: 248,600 km2; urbane population: 92,8%; illiteracy: 10%; infantile mortality: 26.2/1000). Great part of the industry from São Paulo concentrates in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. Nevertheless, in the interior several cities are becoming important in many industrial sectors. After 1930 São Paulo became the vanguard of the Brazilian modernization. Concurrently with the agricultural expansion the state had an extraordinary industrial development. Channeling the great flows of investments of the American and European multinationals and the great internal migratory currents, São Paulo increased its population vastly, it diversified its social structure and it consolidated its economic power. However, the poverty of a great part of its population is a severe social problem. The State of São Paulo, in 1995, consumed 82.9 TWh of electricity, with the consumption of the industrial sector of 39.6 TWh. In that same year Brazil consumed a total of 249.9 TWh, and of this total value, 118.0 TWh was consumed by the industrial sector. By analyzing the evolution tendencies of energy consumption in São Paulo in the last years, it is possible to identify important aspects of the energetic development of this State, particularly in relation to the perspectives of natural gas utilization in gas turbines for power generation.
