Über den Zusammenhang von "Migration" und "Entwicklung" ist - trotz einiger interessanter Forschungsansätze im englischen und französischen Sprachraum - immer noch wenig bekannt. Insbesondere im Hinblick auf hochgebildete MigrantInnen aus sog. Entwicklungsländern steht weiterhin die These vom "Brain Drain" im Vordergrund, die besagt, daß die Emigration von AkademikerInnen (wie von qualifizierten Menschen allgemein) gleichbedeutend sei mit einem Verlust an Entwicklungspotential für die Herkunftsländer. Die Dissertation möchte diese These vom "Brain Drain" relativieren. Der Großteil der Forschung über den "Brain Drain" wird von der Analyse quantitativen Datenmaterials auf der Makro-Ebene getragen. Im starken Kontrast dazu beruht die Dissertation auf einem qualitativen Forschungsansatz auf der Mikro-Ebene, bei dem direkte Interviews mit in Industrieländern lebenden AkademikerInnen aus sog. Entwicklungsländern im Mittelpunkt stehen. Dadurch wird die bisher geleistete Forschungsarbeit sinnvoll ergänzt. Als zentrales Ergebnis ist festzuhalten, daß die These vom "Brain Drain" relativiert werden muß: Tatsächlich ist die Emigration von AkademikerInnen nicht in allen Fällen gleichbedeutend mit einem Verlust an Entwicklungspotential für die Herkunftsländer. Unter bestimmten Bedingungen - die in der Dissertation näher analysiert werden - können auch in der Emigration Beiträge zur Entwicklung der Herkunftsländer geleistet werden. Ausschlaggebend dafür ist die intensive Integration in das Aufnahmeland - bis hin zur Einbürgerung - unter Beibehaltung von engen Bindungen zum Herkunftsland. Auf der anderen Seite kann die Emigration tatsächlich aber auch durch vollständige Assimilation oder Marginalität Züge eines "Brain Drain" im Sinne eines Verlustes an Entwicklungspotential für die Herkunftsländer annehmen. Ausschlaggebend dafür ist aber nicht, wie bisher angenommen, die Integration in das Aufnahmeland als solche, sondern vielmehr der Modus der Integration in das Aufnahmeland. Es wird eine sechs-zügige Typologie vorgestellt, in der die Modi der Integration in das Aufnahmeland unter Berücksichtigung der Beziehungen der Migranten zu ihren Herkunftsländern eingehend untersucht werden.

The thesis examines the subcultural activities and online fan community of Drainers (fans of the music collective Drain Gang) through TikTok. A netnographic analysis of fans’ engagement and community cultivation through prosumption is done through participation observation.  Samples taken using a non-probability purposive sampling method are analyzed, categorized, and coded. By using theories of prosumption, uses and gratifications and a contemporary online take on subcultural theory from Bennet (2004) as well as Genova et al. (2022), the samples provide an insight into Drainers and their subculture.  Results from the study suggest that community within TikTok is easy to find, yet difficult to regulate. It can thus be both a space for creative participation and opportunity for exploring identity as much as it can be for receiving negative comments and further stigmatization. Regardless of the app’s implications and limitations, it does successfully provide a platform for fans to connect, bond, share ideas and create authentic identity and a subcultural status.  While plenty of previous research concerning fans and their communities exist, this study is through researcher’s immersion opening up a discussion about Drain Gang’s subculture and fans, which is essentially an untouched area of research. Although limitations are present such as lack of possibility to pick samples on TikTok based on publication date, as well as bias while collecting samples, it provides an insight into the online community and subculture which can be used to further explore the topic.

Объем магистерской диссертации 115 страниц, в том числе, 92 страницы основного текста (без списка литературы), для иллюстрации использованы 8 таблиц, 12 рисунков и приложения. Библиографический список состоит из 76 источников. Актуальность темы магистерской диссертации связана с тем, что с 2010 года наблюдается новая волна эмиграции из России, связанная с мировым экономическим кризисом, последствия которой требуют детального анализа. Целью исследования является определение типа эмиграции из России и разработка рекомендации по оптимизации мер государственной миграционной политики: изучить теории и концепции миграции; проанализировать особенности международной миграции в России как части демографических процессов; проанализировать количественные и качественные характеристики волн эмиграции из России; изучить пятую волну эмиграции из России и оценить ее влияние на экономическое развитие страны исхода; разработать рекомендации по оптимизации мер государственной политики в сфере миграции. К научной новизне можно отнести само определение вида пятой волны миграции в Российской Федерации, а именно, утечка умов или же циркулирующая миграция. Практическая значимость магистерской работы проявляется в возможности определения вида миграции и последующем разработке мер государственной политики, направленных на оптимизацию миграционной ситуации. Результаты исследования могут послужить основой для принятия решений о привлечении и удержании высококвалифицированных кадров, а также для создания условий, способствующих циркуляции мигрантов и внесению ими позитивного вклада в экономику и социальную сферу страны. / The volume of the master's thesis is 115 pages, including 92 pages of main text (without a list of references), 8 tables, 12 figures and appendices are used for illustration. The bibliographic list consists of 76 sources. The relevance of the topic of the master's thesis is due to the fact that since 2010 there has been a new wave of emigration from Russia associated with the global economic crisis, the consequences of which require detailed analysis. The purpose of the study is to determine the type of emigration from Russia and develop recommendations for optimizing state migration policy measures: study theories and concepts of migration; analyze the features of international migration in Russia as part of demographic processes; analyze the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of waves of emigration from Russia; study the fifth wave of emigration from Russia and assess its impact on the economic development of the country of origin; develop recommendations for optimizing state policy measures in the field of migration. The scientific novelty includes the very definition of the type of fifth wave of migration in the Russian Federation, namely, brain drain or circulating migration. The practical significance of the master's work is manifested in the possibility of determining the type of migration and the subsequent development of public policy measures aimed at optimizing the migration situation. The results of the study can serve as a basis for making decisions on attracting and retaining highly qualified personnel, as well as creating conditions that facilitate the circulation of migrants and their positive contribution to the economy and social sphere of the country.

<p>Many Caribbean international students travel to Canada to complete their post-secondary education. Upon graduation, these students often remain in Canada to work as opposed to returning home. This study identifies the factors that influenced Caribbean international students’ decisions of whether to remain in Canada or to return home and evaluates the relative importance of their labour market perceptions in light of all of the factors influencing their decisions. Factors such as easy labour market entry, high wages, less stringent immigration policies, careers relevant to the students’ degrees, family ties and relationships with loved ones, discrimination in the labour market, lifestyle and attitudes of governing bodies and prominent community members can all act as push or pull factors in Canada, the host country, or the students’ countries of origin. These factors influence the students’ decisions of whether they should remain in Canada to work or return home. However, results support the conclusion that labour market perceptions are the most significant factors in students’ decision making.</p> / Master of Arts (MA)

ITC/USA 2005 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-First Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 24-27, 2005 / Riviera Hotel & Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / A conventionally designed radio frequency amplifier operated in its linear region exhibits low DC to RF conversion efficiency. Typically, for a power amplifier designed for digital modulation applications, the amplifier is operated “backed-off” from its P1dB point by a factor of 10 or -10 dB. The typical linear amplifier is biased for either Class A or Class A/B operation depending on the acceptable design trade-offs between efficiency and linearity between these two methods. A novel design approach to increasing the efficiency of a linear RF power amplifier using a modified Odd-Way Doherty technique is presented in this paper. The design was simulated, built and then tested. The design yields improvements in efficiency and linearity.

The aviation environment holds challenging application constraints for efficient hydraulic system noise reduction devices. Besides strong limits on component weight and size, high safety and reliability standards demand simple solutions. Hence, basic silencers like inline expansion chambers and Helmholtz-Resonators are state-of-the-art aboard commercial aircrafts. Unfortunately, they do not meet today’s noise attenuation aims regarding passenger comfort and equipment durability. Significant attenuation performance is expected from active concepts that generate anti-phase noise. However, such concepts remain a long term approach unless related costs, e.g. due to additional power allocation and real-time control equipment can be avoided. In this paper an active fluid borne noise attenuation concept is discussed that accounts for the mentioned constraints. An aircraft hydraulic pump is considered as main noise source. The active attenuator is an in-house rotary valve design. The basic feature is a known direct shaft coupling principle of pump and rotary valve, so no speed/ frequency control of the valve and no separate power supply are required. The common-shaft principle is further simplified here and proposed as integral feature of future “smart pumps”.

This paper will talk about the videos and sculptural installation in my thesis exhibition. Shooting videos outside of the studio developed into a project overarching any individual video or its particular signs. Thus, this paper will focus on the video project with examples that follow a timeline of development, rather than the actual 6 videos on display in the exhibit. The two-part sculpture "Deer in the Headlights" is created in the context of these videos, and coexists with them in a specific architectural space. This space, as well as the clichéd meaning of the deer's gaze, have a relation to the title of the show.
