Scholars of Mexican migration, both in the U.S. and in Mexico, have defined the Mexican migration by the transnational migration experience. While certainly an important aspect of Mexican migration, this narrow focus has overlooked an arguably more significant phenomenon for migratory communities in Mexico: rural to urban migration. Working primarily with the personal testimonies of people who have migrated to the United States has revealed that urbanization has played a major role in the lives of many transnational migrants, many of whom only resorted to international migration when their ability to migrate and work in Mexican cities was compromised. By looking at changes in Mexican migration over a century, it becomes clear that transnational migration only occurs en masse as a result disruption. For rural Mexicans, this disruption came in the form of private labor recruitment, contracted labor programs, or displacement resulting from violence or political and economic restructuring.

Este processo começou mais efetivamente no início da década de 70. Também se faz nosso objetivo mostrar que por causa do espraiamento da indústria houve um aumento no fluxo migratório em todo Estado de São Paulo, inclusive Rio Claro. Nós buscamos mostrar que o processo migratório trouxe transformações para as pequenas e médias cidades do Estado de São Paulo, entre as quais Rio Claro está inserida. / The objective of this research is to discuss the paper that Rio Claro city has in the process of the interiorization of the industry in São Paulo State, that started more effectively in early 1970. Also it was our objective to show that because of the spread of the industry there was an increase in the migratory process, in all over the State, including in Rio Claro city. We tried to show that the migration process has brought has brought a lot of transformation to the small and medium cities in São Paulo State, including Rio Claro.

My diploma thesis deals with trends of migration in Europe after 1918 with a particular regard to Czech Republic region. It consists of 5 chapters. The first chapter is aimed at the main definitions concerning migration. The second chapter deals with streams of migration in Europe between 1918 and 1945. The chapter is divided into several subchapters examining the situation between, during and after World War II in European and Czech region. The third chapter reflects the period of Cold War when the migration was of post-colonial or labour character or it was influenced by asylum requests. In addition, the chapter mentions the question of Czechoslovakia which was attached to the eastern communist block after World War II. The fourth chapter is aimed at the migration after 1989 which was defined mainly by the fall of Iron curtain. This event was accompanied by increasing number of eastern migrants and by fear of European Community connected with it. The ?European fortress? started to be built during this period and the main manifestation of this phenomenon was strong restriction outwards and liberation inside. Asylum policy was influenced by war conflicts in Yugoslavia in nineties. The last chapter deals with the Czech Republic after 1989 and it is divided into 3 subchapters ? period between 1989 and 2004, period after joining the European Union and general trends of Czech migration in the last years.

La moule bleue Mytilus edulis est un mollusque bivalve filtreur et sessile. Cet organisme présente un intérêt majeur d'une part en conchyliculture et d'autre part dans de nombreux programmes de surveillance environnementale comme espèce indicatrice du niveau de contamination par les xénobiotiques. Ce manuscrit propose une revue de la compréhension actuelle des mécanismes de l'immunité exclusivement innée des invertébrés, en s'attachant plus particulièrement au rôle prévalent des cellules immunocompétentes chez Mytilus : les hémocytes. Nos résultats permettent de proposer une classification des sous-populations hémocytaires de Mytilus edulis. A partir de colorations cytologiques classiques combinées à la cytométrie en flux et au volume Coulter ainsi que d'une caractérisation originale des motilités cellulaires par videomicroscopie d'intervalle (time-lapse), nos résultats proposent une description des activités et des interactions d'au moins trois sous-populations hémocytaires : les basophiles, les hyalinocytes et les granulocytes éosinophiles. La vitesse de migration des hémocytes a été mesurée in vitro par une nouvelle méthode, le tracking des noyaux. Cette approche permet de quantifier les activités migratoires de ces cellules ainsi que leurs perturbations, notamment par les stress environnementaux. Le second axe développé consiste en une analyse du phénotype de Multi Xenobiotic Resistance (MXR) au sein des sous-populations hémocytaires. Ce travail indique également que les transporteurs ABCC/MR Prégulent la motilité des cellules, ce qui ouvre des perspectives importantes. / Mytilus edulis is a bivalve mollusk and sessile filter feeder. This organism has a major advantage, both in aquaculture and in many environmental monitoring programs as an indicator species of the level of contamination by xenobiotics. This manuscript provides a review of the current understanding of the mechanisms of innate immunity exclusively invertebrates, focusing particularly prevalent role of immunocompetent cells in M. edulis : hemocytes . Our results allow us to propose an hemocyte subpopulations classification. By conventional cytological staining, flow cytometry equipped with a Coulter volume and characterization of cell motilities by videomicroscopy (time-lapse), our results provide a description of the activities and interactions at least three hemocyte subpopulations: basophils, and eosinophils hyalinocytes . The rate of of hemocytes migration was measured in vitro by a new method, the tracking of nuclei in time-lapse. This approach allows quantifying the migratory activity of these cells and their perturbations, including environmental stress. The second axis consists of an analysis of the phenotype Multi Xenobiotic Resistance (MXR) in the hemocyte subpopulations. This work also indicates that carriers ABCC / MRP regulate cell motility, which opens important perspectives in terms of biology immunity and evaluation of the immunocompetence of these animals.

In this paper we use the novel (at least in regional science) technique of social network analysis and apply it to one of the most analyzed topics in the discipline, US internal migration. We want to see whether social network analysis can yield any new insights into this well known process. We want to compare the technique to more conventional methods of analysis in migration. The paper presents an overview of social network analysis, defines key concepts and describes the main components of the technique. This discussion will also involve a discussion of currently available software for social network analysis. Then, we will apply the technique to the official data about internal migration between US states as published by the US bureau of the census, to see whether the technique can reproduce the main results of the traditional techniques and whether it can yield any new insights. / Series: SRE - Discussion Papers
