No full textDoes Citizenship Promote Integration? An Austrian Case Study of Immigrants from the Former Yugoslavia and Turkey. Sitzungsberichte der philosophisch-historischen Klasse|Dual Citizenship and Naturalisation|
No full textThis paper addresses the question of whether or not naturalisation promotes the integration of immigrants. The empirical basis for the study is a standardised survey comprising 600 immigrants from Turkey and the former Yugoslavia living in Austria. We investigate the differences in four aspects of (social) integration: structural integration (access to the labour market), social integration (the building-up of social relations with members of the host society), cultural integration (acquiring German-language skills and support for modern gender-role attitudes) and identificative integration (strengthening the feeling of belonging to Austria). Our hypothesis is that the attainment of citizenship supports all of these. Immigrants who became Austrian citizens are compared with those who did not – across indicators of all four aspects of integration. In multivariate regression analyses, we also include migration experience (migration background and generation as well as the length of stay in Austria) as explanatory and socio-demographic characteristics (gender, age, educational level) as control variables. The findings show the expected effects in most regards. In addition, a significant interaction effect emerges between migration background and gender, whereby Turkish women have fewer chances of finding employment than ex-Yugoslavian women in comparison with men of the same nationalities as the women. In the conclusion, we point out the methodological limitations of the study and indicate avenues for further research, both in theoretical terms and concerning empirical research designs

No full textOn 13 January 2021, the French Ministry of the Environment in cooperation with ALPARC, UNEP and the Permanent Secretariat of the Alpine Convention organized the virtual Mountain Biodiversity Day. The event gathered together experts in the field of mountain biodiversity and political representatives from mountain regions all over the world in order to stress the importance of mountain biodiversity within the Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework, especially in the context of the on-going pandemic and discussions on building back better. The Alpine session of the event, introduced by Guido Plassmann, was moderated by Chris Walzer and focused on the link between biodiversity and zoonoses – a major challenge for environmental policies worldwide. The topic is developed by the short text which follows
Unberechenbar? Algorithmuskulturen und ihre räumlichen Implikationen nebst einigen Bemerkungen zur geographischen Bildung. GW-Unterricht|GW-Unterricht 163|
No full textIm Zuge der fortschreitenden Digitalität finden die Praktiken des alltäglichen Lebens – bewusst oder unbewusst – zunehmendin Algorithmuskulturen statt. Hierbei eröffnen sich aus räumlicher Perspektive neue fachliche Diskurse. Diese werdenmittels drei verschiedener Rollen von Algorithmen in sozio-technischen Systemen aufgezeigt und auf ihre Bedeutung fürraumwirksame Prozesse diskutiert. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden wir Ansätze zur Integration von Algorithmuskulturen inder geographischen Bildung vorstellen, die das mündige Agieren in einer durch Algorithmen geprägten Lebenswelt fördern

No full textTo take medical objects as historical sources seriously, means to turn one’s full attention directlytowards these things repeatedly. Against the background of richly available thing theories andmethodological concepts, each historical object research benefits from various analyticalstrategies. In medicine and the sciences, developed over time, these are within distinctive limitations:reflective description (observation), autoptic inspection (dissection), repeated testing(experimentation) and virtual reproduction (digitisation). Although things neither live, norgenerate autonomous agency, they pass through distinct phases: development and testing,implementation,use and generation of primary effects, storage, latent transition in the depot,rediscovery and presenting secondary meanings. Things relate to texts in a complex way:through inscribed or add-on texts, objects’ own subtexts become apparent. The things’ contextscan be reconstructed from that point. Various readings of the things thus occur and clarify theirstatus as, for instance, research, teaching, or publically performing things, as power, genderedor representational items, but also as in-between things, which meander between the medicalworlds and disciplines as boundary objects. In all medical things, various actors are inscribed,such as patients, healers or instrument makers. It is their ingrained subjectivity, which turns eachobject into a sensitive one and requires that they are dealt with care and respect in research,teaching and public display. Ultimately, medical things do not talk. If they could, they wouldprobably have a lot to say. Therefore, it is the responsibility of historians of medicine and scienceto make them speak
Fertility Intentions and Their Realisation: Insights from the Polish Generations and Gender Survey
No full textThe aim of the paper is to investigate the link between fertility intentions and outcomes in Poland. Previous studies detected large differences between countries in the extent to which childbearing plans are realised. Specifically, failure to realise an intention to become a parent was found to be particularly common in the post-socialist countries. We use the two waves of the Polish Generations and Gender Survey, conducted in years 2010/2011 and 2014/2015, to verify whether the same can be observed for Poland. We find that approximately 35% of respondents, who at wave 1 intended to have a child in the next three years, actually got one by wave 2. The results are in line with those obtained in other post-socialist countries. For respondents who did not get a child between wave 1 and 2, we analyse the stability of their fertility plans. Both realisation and stability of fertility intentions vary markedly by gender and parity
