Quarterly on Refugee Problems (2, 3)
Get PDFThis issue analyses a diverse range of forced migration issues from an African and European perspective. The first contribution presents the plight of cross-border displacement in the East, Horn of Africa and Great Lakes (EHAGL) region by exploring the resilience experience of adult refugees living in Addis Ababa. Turnig to Europe, a further article highlights some recent changes in the perception of young people in Hungary by analyzing shifts in issue perception and importance among young extremist acolytes in Hungary, whereby particular attention has been paid among others to the issues of migration. A legal study provides an overview of the tools the European Union used to promote a more effective role for the EU's external borders in managing the COVID-19 crisis and its ongoing negative effects on migration and access to asylum. As a policy report, developments in vocational training for refugees are outlined and embedded in the context of migration movements in Germany.This is complemented by an overview of migration related European jurisdiction for the period January-June 2023 and related current developments
Vector-Quantized Graph Auto-Encoder
No full textIn this work, we addresses the problem of modeling distributions of graphs. We introduce the Vector-Quantized Graph Auto-Encoder (VQ-GAE), a permutation-equivariant discrete auto-encoder and designed to model the distribution of graphs. By exploiting the permutation-equivariance of graph neural networks (GNNs), our autoencoder circumvents the problem of the ordering of the graph representation. We leverage the capability of GNNs to capture local structures of graphs while employing vector-quantization to prevent the mapping of discrete objects to a continuous latent space. Furthermore, the use of autoregressive models enables us to capture the global structure of graphs via the latent representation. We evaluate our model on standard datasets used for graph generation and observe that it achieves excellent performance on some of the most salient evaluation metrics compared to the state-of-the-art

¿Opresión o liberación? - La Función del trabajo social en la gestión de la migración
No full textEste volumen cuestiona las formas tradicionales de crear conocimiento en la investigación sobre migración y se propone a descentralizar el sesgo eurocéntrico del país receptor y explorar los procesos de migración Sur-Sur proporcionando perspectivas del país de origen sobre la migración. El libro está dividido en secciones sobre Perspectivas, Experiencias e Intervenciones para buscar activamente posibilidades para como moldear procesos sociales vitales conectados con la migración. Con este fin, en la sección final hay la tradición del trabajo social como disciplina académica y práctica profesional enfocada en la transformación social, más que como una práctica a nivel micro de “control” o “educación” de personas y familias que se consideran fuera de la sociedad “normal”. Este volumen persigue el objetivo de reivindicar la misión política del trabajo social como fuerza activa de transformación social y mostrar cómo el trabajo social puede ser una fuerza para diseñar políticas activamente, en lugar de ser solo una herramienta de control de la migración
Internationalisation of Social Work
No full textThe article explores the internationalisation of social work from a historical point of view to Indigenous approaches and discusses the concepts of indigenisation, authentication and reconceptualisation. It demonstrates the importance of shifting away from the dominant western perspective on knowledge as well as away from the idea of a universal Social Work and focuses on philosophies and approaches of the Global South. Dialogue as praxis, enablement, and empowerment as well as translation and an ethnological view as methods of internationalisation of Social Work are emphasised. Subsequently, perspectives of Radical as well as Green Social Work and postcolonial feminist approaches within the profession are presented, which can contribute to a desired interwoven, mutually supporting Social Work. The outlook shows the importance of international and cross-cultural exchange between social workers. It emphasizes on sharing of and learning about local methods and practices from other parts of the world, to develop common ideas. In this context self-reflection of the profession and social work- ers is crucially value
