The Challenging Integration Paths of Migrant Health Professionals: The Case of Filipino and Indian Nurses in the UK
No full textThis article examines the role of institutional factors in shaping the integration paths of migrant health professionals. For this purpose, it draws on two studies focusing on Filipino and Indian nurses working in the UK, which rely on quantitative and qualitative methods, including a web survey and semi-structured interviews. The analysis shows that inequalities have arisen from differentiation processes induced by changes in the institutional settings. Furthermore, inequalities are often reflected in poor working conditions. The authors have identified restrictive rules on immigration and access to the profession as a source of uncertainty and reveal the differentiation of entry paths, with those arriving through an international recruitment agency more frequently disappointed with their working conditions

The political use of the internet: Some insights from two surveys of Italian students
No full textInterest in the Internet's impact on political participation has grown over the last five years. The main claim of most social scientists is to consider the Internet as a new resource for political engagement. However, this claim has not always been backed up by empirical analysis. The aim of this article is to provide empirical evidence on a subject that previous surveys on the Internet have generally ignored: the influence of individual political characteristics on Internet use. The authors compare data from two distinct surveys, carried out in two different periods but which contain some common batteries of questions referring to political participation and Internet use for political purposes. One survey was carried out in 2001 and focused on students at the University of Florence. The second was carried out in 2002 and focused on the participants in the European Social Forum in Florence. The empirical results and interpretations offered are based on a sample of 397 students, extracted from the two databases. The focus of the research is on exploring whether and how the political use of the Internet is shaped by the political characteristics of users, in this case students. The findings of the two studies suggest that, firstly, the more students are engaged in different social and political organizations, the more they use the Internet to achieve political purposes; and, secondly, that different styles of Internet use (to retrieve alternative information, to discuss and to perform political actions) are associated with the political characteristics of users. In particular, the characteristics of offline participation are reproduced online: the Internet is appropriated and shaped by political practices of users
Youth online: Researching the political use of the Internet in the Italian context
No full textBetween the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the last decade different phenomena (at both national and international levels) gave rise to significant changes in Italy. The post-war political system (characterised by a blocked political system excluding the Communist party from the government) collapsed, and a new bipolar party system, based on competition between two coalitions (centre-left and centre-right) arose. Yet in recent times many factors combined have contributed to a decline in trust among citizens towards national politics, political parties and institutions in Italy (Mannheimer and Sani, 2001). These factors include the weakening of ideology following the fall of the Berlin wall, the increasing importance of international politics in national arenas (due to increased financial and economic globalisation, as well as European integration), and, finally, in relation to the Italian system, political corruption scandals (Mantovani and Burnett, 1998)
La filologia al servizio della metrica: rima siciliana e vocali virtuali
No full textL'articolo esplora il rapporto tra filologia e metrica, ponendo particolare attenzione a due fenomeni della lirica italiana delle Origini: la rima siciliana e le vocali virtuali. L'autore evidenzia come le modalità di diffusione dei testi poetici abbiano influenzato la norma metrica, mostrando che la trasmissione manoscritta ha portato alla codificazione di rime culturali e di pratiche grafiche che alterano la misura del verso. Attraverso un'analisi dettagliata delle fonti manoscritte, l'articolo indaga la genesi, l'accettazione, il riconoscimento e l'esecuzione di questi fenomeni, suggerendo che la fruizione della poesia medievale richiedesse una competenza metrica attiva da parte dei lettori

'Sustainable recruitment' of foreign-educated nurses : ethical and work related issues : the case of Finland
No full textThe international migration – and recruitment- of health professionals has gained momentum in the last fifteen years, becoming a matter of international concern. Work-related issues – i.e. working conditions, integration and retention of foreign-educated health professionals - have emerged along with (old) issues of ethical recruitment. This paper focuses on the recruitment of foreign-educated nurses (FENs) and contributes to the current debate on approaches to international recruitment and labour market integration of health professionals by introducing the concept of ‘sustainable recruitment’, which binds together ethical recruitment and work-related issues. This study aims to investigate the ways these aspects actually or potentially shape current approaches of international recruitment. A qualitative approach is used to study the case of Finland, which is an emerging destination country of FNEs and that has started to recruit nurses both from within the European Union and in the Philippines. In particular the paper presents and discusses the results of an empirical investigation carried out in Finland in 2015 that was aimed at exploring whether and how private and public health care organizations and private recruitment agencies are responding to issues of ‘sustainable recruitment’ while recruiting FENs internationally
