A Study on the Influence of Beaconism on Immigration Propensity among Youth and Middle-aged Chinese Individuals

Abstract: In 21st-century China, the phenomenon of migration is becoming increasingly common. Some people migrate to improve their standard of living, while others are inspired by the call of Beaconism to go to other countries in search of an imagined utopia. This study investigates the spread of Beaconism on the Chinese internet and its influence on the immigration propensity of young and middle-aged Chinese individuals. Through literature analysis and case studies, the paper elucidates the connotation and characteristics of Beaconism, as well as its dissemination mechanism on platforms such as immigration intermediaries and social media. The findings indicate that Beaconism has a significant impact on the immigration motives, destination choices, and value systems of the young and middle-aged groups, characterized by a blind pursuit of Western civilization and a neglect of traditional culture. This research provides a new perspective for understanding the immigration phenomenon in China and offers prospects for future research.

Great Expectation in Shadow: Globalization and Young Chinese Entrepreneurs in Africa

Abstract As China’s economic power continues to globalize, more and more Chinese companies and people are going overseas to explore new opportunities. In contrast to the existing research that focuses on the overseas operations of Chinese companies or general immigration phenomena, this study focuses on an emerging group of young entrepreneurs in Africa. Based on three exemplary case studies, this paper attempts to explore these young people’s reasons for going to Africa, their strategies for coping with difficulties, and their gradually formed new lifestyles and self-awareness. The study finds that this group has a stronger “entrepreneurial spirit” than the domestic mobile population of the same age, which is also in the context of individualization, and thus shows a different process of individualization. The members of this group came to Africa with high expectations, used creative solutions to solve various problems in work and life, and dared to break traditions, building their life trajectories and self-understanding in continuous actions. Different from the previous immigrant groups, young entrepreneurs in Africa represent a new way for Chinese people to go out in the world in the era of globalization.

Illegal immigration in Libyan society

Given the complexity and extension of the phenomenon of immigration, the multiplicity of its forms, and the different methods of achieving it, it raises several issues and topics that require study and scientific and objective analysis, the most important of which is the issue of illegal immigration. On this basis, this phenomenon has taken on a new dimension in international relations, as it has become one of the most complex issues due to the overlapping of its causes, manifestations, and dimensions. From this standpoint, the research focused on the social dimensions of illegal immigration.The research addressed several basic points, namely the concept of illegal immigration and its causes, in addition to reviewing its effects, presenting the sociological approaches to explaining illegal immigration, and then learning about international agreements and conventions to combat illegal immigration.The descriptive approach was used, and the study reached several conclusions, including that the phenomenon of irregular immigration is a complex phenomenon in terms of factors and causes. Illegal immigration also has multiple effects on the social, economic, political, and health levels. The study reached a set of recommendations.

Analysis of Educational Inequality Behind the Phenomenon of College Entrance Examination Immigration

In recent years, the phenomenon of immigration in the college entrance examination has been frequent, seriously affecting educational equity. The root of it lies in the significant inter-provincial regional differences in admission opportunities for high-quality higher education in China. Research has found that the dependence of universities on local governments and their pursuit of high-quality student resources are the main reasons for this problem. This article provides corresponding suggestions for this issue from three aspects: in terms of economic foundation, fundamentally filling the differences in the economy and education of each province. At the government level, strengthen the central government's macroeconomic regulation, coordinate the national situation, and allocate admission quotas for each province. At the level of high-quality universities, enrollment should focus on ability orientation and weaken territorial orientation. By reasonably allocating enrollment quotas for higher education in different regions, it aims to break the unfairness caused by regional differences, better ensure that every student has equal access to higher education, and ultimately guide education toward a more equitable direction.

Media representation of immigration in the Chilean written press during 2015–2019

ABSTRACT The current migration flows in Chile have undergone changes and transformations that have impacted the country and its public policies, which, in turn, has echoed in the media. By employing media framing and a longitudinal content analysis of the media corpus, the main objective of this article is to critically scrutinize media frames of immigration in Chilean local written press during 2015–2019. The analysis results demonstrate that the three newspapers represent immigration based on the statistical frames and public policies. The first frame places the phenomenon of immigration quantitatively, stating its existence and importance in terms of supposed massiveness. The second frame allows qualitatively characterizing the phenomenon, establishing it as a problem for the state regarding public policies. The study demonstrates little media pluralism in the corpus. It concludes that the three newspapers follow a similar media agenda on immigration by reproducing official speeches directly related to the dominant political agenda.

An Evaluation of the Chinese CollegeAdmission Examination System from the Standpoint of Equity in Public Policy

The provincial education examination institution mandate system for Chinas college entrance examination was approved by the relevant national department or is implementing an independent proposition. It is uniformly dispatched by the Ministry of Education and implemented and managed by the provincial enrollment and examination committees. Its nature dictates that social justice must exist. The battle for college entrance exams has grown more intense as the number of exams for admission to colleges continues to rise. Then came the sociological phenomenon of immigrants taking college admission exams. This article will use the phenomenon of college entrance examination immigration as an illustration to explain the need for its public policy for the equitable distribution of social value through a thorough analysis of college entrance examination admissions. The fairness of the new college entrance exam system must be continually improved. To take into account the interests of all parties and maximize the overall efficacy of public policy, social values must be distributed fairly.

The representation of immigration in the Spanish press from a gender perspective (2008-2019)

The aim of this study is to analyse how the press portrays the phenomenon of immigration from a gender perspective. To do this, we have selected four of Spain's leading newspapers: El País, El Mundo, La Vanguardia and ABC. We worked on a corpus of 886 analysis units, compiled in the period 2008-2019 using the quantitative content analysis method. The results reveal four noteworthy aspects: the simplification of migration reality by obviating the gender issue and, when this is addressed, under-representing immigrant women; the linking of women to more social and integrative perspectives, while men are more associated with conflict and delinquency; the quantitative over-dimensioning of the immigrants' African origin with respect to the real figures; and, finally, when the gender issue is taken into account, the main source is the migrants themselves, so that the migration phenomenon is presented from the experiences and feelings of the people involved in the process.

Immigration and the sources of strength in US foreign policy: a study in the approaches to construction and employment

Immigration has a clear impact on the overall of the American political system, as well as on the emergence of the state and before it the states or colonies, and then it also has a major impact on the American foreign policy in terms of political thought, discourse and message adopted by the delivery of American political institutions supporting American foreign policy such as U. S Agency for international Development, not to mention on the American national security council.
 Hence, we are now in front of a foreign policy of a country that adopts a scientific thought in all political, economic, social and cultural fields, a country that does not fill in borders or international strategies and determinants, a country that wants to be the world and the world is America submit.
 Then our research comes to study the issue of immigration and clarify the strengths in American foreign policy and know what extent the phenomenon of immigration contributed to the formation of the foundations and determinants of this foreign policy submit.

Unpacking the immigration hierarchy: postcolonial imaginaries of labour migrants

ABSTRACT This article examines and unpacks how postcolonial imaginaries shape migrants’ experiences of the labour market. Drawing on qualitative primary research the article compares the narratives of Romanians and temporary Australians working in London to explore experiences of paid employment. The article finds that postcolonial imaginaries play a role in how migrants experience and understand the labour market, and that these imaginaries inform migrant agency which are used to navigate the labour market, legitimise positioning in the division of labour, and at times utilised and exchanged as a form of capital. The findings imply a need for a layered understanding of how the postcolonial shapes the macro, meso and micro phenomena of labour immigration, and a better understanding how these imaginaries intersect with relational identities in informing the experience of the labour market.

The representation of migrants in Spanish judicial decisions: using corpus data to refute hate speech

The phenomenon of immigration and its depiction in media texts have been examined profusely within the field of corpus-based discourse analysis ( Gabrielatos and Baker, 2008 ; Baker et al., 2013 ; and Blinder and Allen, 2016 ). This research seeks to present it as reflected in a corpus of 600 judicial decisions issued by Spanish courts in the years 2016 and 2017. This analysis was motivated by the rise of extreme right-wing parties in Europe in recent years. Such parties dehumanise immigrants and portray them as a threat to the welfare state. On first examination, the results appear to dissociate immigration and crime since a considerable percentage of the keywords obtained (about 20 percent) revolves around three major topoi (namely, ‘family’, ‘territory/access’ and ‘legal punishment’) and there is no evidence of any major offences or crimes amongst the top-ranking lexicon. The study of the collocate networks of the keywords within the category ‘legal punishment’ confirms our initial perception; in fact, out of twenty-one collocates, only the word delito (‘crime’) itself collocates with terms referring to typified crimes such as violencia (‘violence’). In parallel, the data were triangulated using the text-classification software UMUTextStats ( García-Díaz et al., 2018 ). The results of this second analysis also confirm our initial observations.

Immigration projects among young doctors in Tunisia: Prevalence, destinations and causes

IntroductionThe shortage of doctors has become a worrying problem in Tunisia. It is influenced by the phenomenon of immigration which remains poorly studied despite its magnitude.Objectives To describe the migration intentions of Tunisian young doctors and to identify the associated factors that influence their decisions.MethodsThis is a cross-sectional, analytical survey conducted between January and June 2019. It included all young doctors practicing in academic hospitals of Sousse (Tunisia). Data collection was based on a standardized self-administered questionnaire.ResultsA total of 182 valid questionnaires were collected. The median age was 26.9±2.5 years and the sex-ratio was 0.47. Immigration projects were reported by 38.5% of participants. The main destination was France (36.3%%). The main contributing factors were marital status (p<10-3), resident status (p=0.002), surgical specialty (p<10-3), personal dissatisfaction (p=0.003), underpayment (p<10-3), workload and difficult work conditions (p<10-3), lack of appropriate training (p<10-3), financial crisis and economic instability (p<10-3), lack of a clear strategy for the healthcare system (p=0.005) and the impression by the model of other doctors who left Tunisia (p=0.01).ConclusionsThe rate of migration intentions expressed in this study highlights the emergent need of interventions emanating from the Tunisian health-care system’s problems in order to stop the flow of young doctors towards developed countries in quest of better conditions.DisclosureNo significant relationships.

About the Recent Chilean Immigration Phenomenon: A Scoping Review on Radiographic Methods for Dental Age Estimation in Children

The objective of this review was to identify original studies describing radiographic methods for dental age estimation applied in Chilean children, considering that it is a country with a long history of natural disasters and it has shown an unprecedented increase in the number of migrants in recent years, with significant percentages of individuals under 18 years of age. A scoping review was carried out following the methodology for the Joanna Briggs Institute scoping reviews and PRISMA guidelines. A specific search strategy was implemented in PubMed/Medline database, with complementary use of the Google Scholar website searching for full articles in English and Spanish. Five documents responded to the search objective, of which only 3 were published in refereed journals. Two documents focused their study on the maturation of upper and lower third molars, one on the maturation of the second and lower third molars, and two documents on the maturation of the seven mandibular teeth according to classical methodologies. The scarce existing literature, the almost absence of validated methods for the Chilean population, as well as the reported mass immigration phenomenon make a new and profound scientific research approach necessary for the application of updated methods.

Linguistic-based Approach for Recognizing Implicit Language in Hate Speech: Exploratory Insights

Language, in all its forms, is one of the most comprehensive ways to characterize human societies. By means of the analysis of regular components, either at phonetic, morphological, syntactic or semantic level, human language provides valuable information that can be translated into knowledge in order to represent behavioral patterns. For instance, in web texts, such as the ones posted on Twitter or Facebook, it is quite frequent to find linguistic expressions, such as the following one: “Don’t come here. If you are afraid for your life and you have no place to go, don’t pick this country.” This text could denote an explicit description of the current immigration phenomenon and, likewise, it could connote an implicit content of mockery, aggressiveness, or even hate. Both interpretations are possible, but only one of them is more likely according to the author profiling. This fact stresses out the underlying problem that it is faced in this investigation: Many of our utterances entail two communicative dimensions. The explicit dimension (literal use of language), and the implicit dimension (figurative use of language). Both dimensions are supposed to communicate information thought consciously. In this respect, the most challenging issue for this approach relies on the recognition of the correct communicative dimension profiled by the author in a web text. In this context, this article focuses on analyzing textual information, mainly extracted from Twitter, in order to set a computational framework to differentiate between explicit and implicit language. In particular, we are interested in recognizing figurative uses regarding irony and sarcasm, in order to apply the findings to better understand and prevent social problems related to hate speech.
