Number Of Foreign Nationals Research Articles

Ülkemize Göçle Gelen Bireylerin Sınıf Ortamlarındaki Deneyimlemelerinin Öğretmenler Açısından Veri Analizinin İncelenmesi

The aim of this study is to investigate the data analysis of the experiences of individuals who immigrated to our country in classroom environments from the point of view of teachers. Formal education in our country is carried out in closed places called classrooms in schools. The classroom is a special area created for the realization of educational goals in schools. Only Turkish citizens do not receive education within our educational structure. In addition to Turkish citizens, foreign students are also studying. Many factors, such as education management policies, the political and economic environment, the increase in anti-immigrant sentiment, demographic change, security concerns, although slow and limited in our country, have made it necessary for foreign nationals to be integrated into the education system as soon as possible. Due to the rapid increase in the number of foreign nationals, especially in large cities, every day, there is almost no class without foreign students in its class. In order to determine the participants in this research, the requirement of having a foreign student in the classroom was taken as a criterion. Teachers who do not have foreign students in their classes have been excluded from the research stages. This research was conducted in accordance with the opinions of 8 classroom teachers with at least 5 years of experience, including 4 women and 4 men who were voluntarily selected to work in the Küçükçekmece district of Istanbul province during the fall semester of the 2022-2023 academic year. The participating teachers of this research were selected by means of easy sampling method. The purpose of choosing the convenience sampling method is that the time of the semester project study is limited and there is an opportunity to reach the participants easily. Criterion sampling method was also used in this research. Because, in order to be a participant of the research, the requirement of being a teacher with a foreign student in his class was sought. In the research, the data were obtained by interview technique of qualitative research method. In order to realize the objectives of the research, some questions were asked to the participating teachers. A number of findings were reached by analyzing the data obtained in accordance with the answers given by the participating teachers to the questions posed.

A number of findings were reached by analyzing the data obtained in accordance with the answers given by the participating teachers to the questions posed. After the interpretation of the findings, evaluations were made and the results of the research were reached. It has been seen that the results obtained in the research conducted within this framework and the results obtained in similar literature in our country are parallel to each other. There are a number of reasons why the classroom management experiences of teachers with foreign students in their classroom are generally realized in a negative way. Turkish language Decrees that the academic achievements of foreign students are low, their affective and intellectual motivations are insufficient, their parents' attitudes and behaviors towards them are indifferent, their access to educational tools and equipment is limited, they resort to peer bullying frequently, they cannot speak Turkish easily and properly. These reasons can be considered among these reasons. Key Words: Education Management, Migration, Classroom, Teacher, Research Findings

Econometric Analysis of Dynamics of Personnel Training in Tourism Sphere

According to the statistical data of recent years, tourism has been one of the ever-growing sectors in Azerbaijan. Thus, in the last five years, there has been a steady increase in the number of entrepreneurship subjects serving tourism in Azerbaijan and the number of foreign nationals traveling for tourism, correspondingly 4.5 and 8.5 percent. At present, the direct share of the tourism industry in the country's GDP and employment is 4.5 and 3.3 percent, respectively. In the article econometric analysis of the dependence on the relationship between tourism industry graduates and their development has been done. The regression equation of the dependence of the number of graduates studying tourism on the number of tourists in the country and the dependence of the tourism sector’s GDP on the number of graduates in the tourism sector were estimated using the Eviews software based on 2008–2017 statistical data using the least squares method.

‘The Devil Other’: Crime News Discourses and Foreign Nationals in Malaysia

Crime news is considered as the most salient news among Malaysian. For the past 10 years, the relationship between the increasing number of foreign nationals in Malaysia and the increasing crime rate/crime reporting become and issue discussed from the grass root to the members of the Malaysian parliament. This article analyses recent news discourses surrounding foreign nationals in Malaysian crime reporting. Four English language daily newspapers are investigated over the year of 2016 which are The Star, The New Straits Times, The Sun, and The Malay Mail. The paper argues that foreign nationals is the ‘ideal’ other which cause them to be associated to various negativity. Constructing foreign nationals as problematic, deviant, and as ‘the devil’ can be discussed as an act to fit with the hegemonic idea that foreign nationals as a major threat to the public socially, economically, and environmentally. The paper also explores the various issues/stories highlighted in the local crime news involving foreign nationals that draw new landscapes of Malaysian social pattern.

Where Renegades Become Saints

Where Renegades Become Saints Ilan Stavans (bio) The Battle of Churubusco: American Rebels in the Mexican-American War Andrea Ferraris Fantagraphics http://www.fantagraphics.com/ 200 Pages; Print, $22.99 I grew up not far from Churubusco in Coyoacán, a borough in the southern part of Mexico City. In my childhood, it still housed a movie studio where some of the Golden Age movies of Mexican cinema with Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante, and Sara García were produced. The studio was eventually turned into the Cineteca Nacional, a film club where I saw a slew of superb foreign movies by Bergman, Antonioni, and Truffaut. The club was also a depository of archival material. In 1982, the club was destroyed by a tragic explosion: the screen bursts into flames as The Promised Land (1974), a movie by Polish director Andrzej Wajda, was projected. Around 2,000 screenplays went up in flames, as did 9,000 books, paintings by Diego Rivera, and original footage from masters like Manuel Alvarez Bravo and Juan Orol. (I know this because I was supposed to be at the screening. I never made it because I was caught in traffic. Several acquaintances of mine worked at the archives—one of them died.) Maybe this explains why, in part, Churubusco feels like a battlefield. Of course, this piece of land is actually where, on August 20, 1847, the legendary Battle of Churubusco was fought by Mexican soldiers and their supporters against the invading US army in what eventually became a crux in the Mexican-American War of 1846-48. Mexico didn’t just lose the war; it also lost a generous portion of its territory—what today constitutes the “Southwest,” e.g., Texas, California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Wyoming. These lands, along with the population in them, were “sold” for $15,000,000 to the Americans. It was a steal whose echoes reverberate across time and have inspired, among others, the Chicano struggle for self-determination as part of the Civil Rights era. What makes the battle poignant is that a number of foreign nationals, including Irish, Italians, and former African-American slaves, switched sides to join the Mexican army against the American invaders. They were part of what came to be known as the San Patricio Battalion. Like the Spanish Civil War almost a century later, when figures like George Orwell, Arthur Koestler, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Neruda, and others joined forces with the rebellion, the Mexican-American War attracted immense international attention. While the names aren’t as famous—a plaque hangs in the Plaza de San Jacinto, in Mexico City’s San Angel neighborhood, commemorating those soldiers of Irish descent who absconded—many also believed at the time that the fate of humankind as a whole, or at least of neighborly relations in the Americas, was at stake and that they needed to pledge alliance to the weak side in order to push history in what they thought was the right direction. The graphic novel The Battle of Churubusco: American Rebels in the Mexican-American War wants to memorialize its martyrs. It is ambitious in scope and cinematic in execution. Unfortunately, it isn’t very good. Its author, Andrea Ferraris, is an Italian artist who lives in Paris. According to a publisher’s note, she has worked for Disney for a couple of decades and draws Donald Duck for the Danish publisher Egmont. Her affinity for cartoonish characters is clear in these pages. In her style, Ferraris pays homage to Mexican muralist José Clemente Orozco, a Diego Rivera colleague—and sometimes nemesis—whose art decorated a number of important Mexico City buildings and a few more in the United States. Orozco’s depiction of soldiers, priests, merchants, and other revolutionary figures had a pathetic quality to it. He was a committed Communist who campaigned against Mexico’s willingness to welcome Leon Trotsky as he feuded with Joseph Stalin and went into exile. Ferraris’ illustrations, mostly in black and white with an occasional sepia insertion to denote a dreamlike sequence, at times even copy Orozco’s canonical images. Some readers might be...

Hospital admissions among immigrants from low-income and foreign citizens from high-income countries in Spain in 2000–2012

Over the last decade, the number of foreign nationals in Spain has increased. Our aim was to report the trends in hospital admissions, differentiating between foreign nationals from high-income countries (HICs) and from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) in a public hospital. A retrospective analysis of hospital admissions in patients aged ⩾15years between 2000 and 2012 was performed by means of hospital information systems at a public hospital in the city of Alicante, Spain. During the period of the study, 387,862 patients were admitted: 32,020 (8.3%) were foreign, 22,446 (5.8%) were from LMICs, and 9574 (2.5%) were from HICs. The number of foreign nationals, foreign nationals from LMICs, and foreign nationals from HICs admitted increased from 1019, 530, and 489 in 2000 to 2925, 2097, and 828, respectively in 2012. A total of 27.5% of patients were admitted for pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium, especially foreign nationals from LMICs (34.3%), and 14.1% of foreign nationals were admitted for cardiovascular diseases (14.1%), which were more common in those from HICs (26.3%). The number of admissions among foreign nationals from LMICs increased significantly in all the diagnoses, but in pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium, the increase was higher. In conclusion, nearly one out of 10 adult patients admitted to our hospital was foreign, mainly from LMICs, and the main reason for admission was diagnoses related to pregnancy, childbirth, and puerperium.

Legal pluralism and the right to family life, and the transfer of offenders who are nationals of African countries, within Africa and to Africa

Globalisation has been accompanied by, inter alia, the movement of people from their countries of nationality or citizenship to other countries in search of better opportunities. Some of these people have been convicted of offences and sentenced to imprisonment in countries of which they are non-nationals. Because of the increase in the number of foreign nationals in prisons of different countries, initiatives have been taken at international, regional and national levels to transfer these offenders to their countries of nationality (administering countries) to serve sentences imposed by courts in a foreign country (sentencing countries). The effect is that the imposition of the sentence is governed by the laws of the sentencing country and the administration of the sentence is governed by the laws of the administering country. Therefore, the offender is governed by laws of different countries. Apart from the laws of the sentencing and the administering states, there are cases where these offenders are also governed by international law and in particular international human rights law. Although the rights of foreign offenders are increasingly receiving attention in the transfer discourse, one right that appears not to have been emphasised in Africa and other parts of the world is the right to family life and how seriously it should be taken by those responsible for transferring offenders before they make a decision. The purpose of this article is to argue that the right to family life should be taken seriously in deciding whether or not an offender should be transferred if the transferred offender is to be rehabilitated and ultimately reintegrated into society.

Towards the Establishment of a Prisoners Transfer Legal Regime in South Africa: Failed Attempts, Available Options and Critical Issues to Consider

As at 17 August 2010 South African prisons were home to 4,868 sentenced foreign prisoners and 3,712 awaiting trial foreign inmates. Of the 4,868 sentenced prisoners, 1,845 had been convicted of economic-related crimes, 1,899 for aggressive offences, 560 of narcotic offences, 246 of sexual offences and 326 of ‘other’ offences. Media reports indicate that it is estimated that over 1,000 South Africans are serving prison sentences in foreign countries such as Mauritius, the United Kingdom, Brazil and Venezuela and ‘[a]ccording to statistics made available by the Chief Directorate of Consular Services, 91 percent of women and 51 percent of men jailed abroad are serving drug-related sentences.’ Other countries in the region such as Botswana, Namibia and Tanzania also host a sizeable number of foreign nationals in their prisons. However, unlike some countries in the region that have enacted legislation to govern the transfer of prisoners to and from their jurisdictions, South Africa is yet to enact such

Coping with consular emergencies: four key governmental coordination relationships

When a large number of foreign nationals are affected by a disaster while abroad, their respective governments face public and media pressure to assist their citizens. For governments to evacuate citizens, locate missing, assist injured, support relatives or identify and repatriate the deceased, the foreign ministry must coordinate its personnel, establish a whole-of-government response and cooperate with foreign governments. To better understand how governments coordinate and cooperate internally and externally to assist citizens, this paper utilised a 'structured and focused' comparative approach. The 'structure' was provided by three (Australia, Sweden and the UK) foreign ministries' consular responses to three large-scale events: the 2002 Bali bombings, 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and 2006 evacuations from Lebanon. For the focus, the study employed an organising perspective. Government actions were considered through the lens of four key coordination relationships, within and between governments, in order to establish what role government plays and to identify limits and opportunities present in the response.

Identifying the Dead: Methods Utilized by the Pima County (Arizona) Office of the Medical Examiner for Undocumented Border Crossers: 2001–2006*

The Pima County (Arizona) Office of the Medical Examiner has seen a dramatic rise over the past 6 years in the number of deaths related to the illegal crossing of our international border with Mexico. This rise in deaths is undoubtedly related to an increase in the number of foreign nationals who cross into the various Arizona jurisdictions that utilize the Pima County Medical Examiner to investigate their unnatural deaths. Because of the utterly dangerous nature of trekking across the Sonoran Desert, especially in the summer months, many of these unfortunate migrants succumb to the effects of heat-related illness and perish along the journey. The combined effects of a dry, hot environment and the remoteness of some of the trekking corridors can quickly render a deceased person unidentifiable by visual means. Thus, our office is faced with not only an increase in the number of deaths requiring medico-legal investigation but also an increase in the number of decedents needing additional specialized examinations in an effort to effect identification. This paper attempts to outline the problems and the methods utilized by our office over the past 6 years in the identification process of undocumented border crossers. It is hoped that this paper, as well as the others presented at this symposium, will allow for the sharing of information amongst all medical investigators who assist in the identification of these migrants. The identification of these individuals takes on added importance when one considers the possible nationalities, and perhaps motivation for entering into the US, of those that remain unidentified.

Estimating impacts on developing countries of the decrease in U.S. training opportunities for foreign medical graduates

Between 1973 and 1983, the number of foreign nationals from developing nations who entered the United States for graduate medical education decreased by approximately 90%. Many of those who would have studied in the United States if this decrease had not occurred would have returned home to serve their countries. To estimate the impact of this loss, a survey was conducted in six major cities in Latin America between 1983 and 1989. Selected local medical students interviewed 554 physicians who had returned home after U.S. training and 60 of their classmates who had not trained there. The findings indicate that the returned physicians had given approximately twice as much time to teaching, research, and medical administration as did those who had not left home. The authors maintain that this and related findings show how the curtailment of opportunities for training foreign nationals in the United States is detrimental to both the aspirations of developing nations and the influence of the United States in world affairs.

Cooperation between Health Professionals from the United States and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics

The United States has long made its academic medical resources available to foreign medical graduates. Conspicuously absent from the number of foreign nationals, however, have been physicians, scientists, and educators from the Soviet Union. Under the new conditions of perestroika, Soviet medical professionals are seeking ways in which to open up broad collaboration with their American counterparts. Agreements are being sought between national organizations, between academic medical institutions, and for the exchange of individual scholars. Cooperation in the area of medical education is one of the distinctive bridges on the path to mutual understanding that will represent a strong link in the public diplomacy of the two superpowers. We recently had the opportunity to discuss in Moscow some of the issues with the U.S.S.R. Minister of Health and with the Pro-rector for International Programs of the Central Institute for Advanced Medical Studies, as well as with faculty members, young medical scientists, and medical students of the Moscow Medical Institutes. We describe briefly many of the similarities and some of the dissonances between our two health systems and set forth ideas for an exchange program in medical education.

The Fulbright Program

During the academic year 1950–51, over 200 United States citizens in the general category of “lecturers and research scholars” have been pursuing educational activities of various kinds in foreign countries as a result of having received Fulbright awards. At the same time approximately an equal number of foreign nationals have been assisted by Fulbright travel grants in carrying on lecturing and research in the United States. The purpose of this article is to describe the organization and operation of the Fulbright Award Program with special emphasis on those phases which may have particular interest for physicists.
