Download or read book Agroclimatology written by Jerry L. Hatfield and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we unlock resilience to climate stress by better understanding linkages between the environment and biological systems? Agroclimatology allows us to explore how different processes determine plant response to climate and how climate drives the distribution of crops and their productivity. Editors Jerry L. Hatfield, Mannava V.K. Sivakumar, and John H. Prueger have taken a comprehensive view of agroclimatology to assist and challenge researchers in this important area of study. Major themes include: principles of energy exchange and climatology, understanding climate change and agriculture, linkages of specific biological systems to climatology, the context of pests and diseases, methods of agroclimatology, and the application of agroclimatic principles to problem-solving in agriculture.

Download or read book Revisiting Moroccan Migrations written by Mohammed Berriane and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the 20th century, Morocco has become one of the world’s major emigration countries. But since 2000, growing immigration and settlement of migrants from sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and Europe confronts Morocco with an entirely new set of social, cultural, political and legal issues. This book explores how continued emigration and increasing immigration is transforming contemporary Moroccan society, with a particular emphasis on the way the Moroccan state is dealing with shifting migratory realities. The authors of this collective volume embark on a dialogue between theory and empirical research, showcasing how contemporary migration theories help understanding recent trends in Moroccan migration, and, vice-versa, how the specific Moroccan case enriches migration theory. This perspective helps to overcome the still predominant Western-centric research view that artificially divide the world into ‘receiving’ and ‘sending’ countries and largely disregards the dynamics of and experiences with migration in countries in the Global South. This book was previously published as a special issue of The Journal of North African Studies.

Download or read book Us Them and Others written by Elke Winter and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do countries come to view themselves as being 'multicultural'? Us, Them, and Others presents a dynamic new model for understanding pluralism based on the triangular relationship between three groups — the national majority, historically recognized minorities, and diverse immigrant bodies. Elke Winter's research illustrates how compromise between unequal groups is rendered meaningful through confrontation with real or imagined outsiders. Us, Them, and Others sheds new light on the astonishing resilience of Canadian multiculturalism in the late 1990s, when multicultural policies in other countries had already come under heavy attack. Winter draws on analyses of English-language newspaper discourses and a sociological framework to connect discourses of pan-Canadian multicultural identity to representations of Quebecois nationalism, immigrant groups, First Nations, and the United States. Taking inspiration from the Canadian experience, Us, Them, and Others is an enticing examination of national identity and pluralist group formation in diverse societies.

This book was released on 2021-08-24T00:00:00-04:00 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le contexte pandémique de 2020-2021 a soulevé nombre de défis et d’occasions socioéconomiques et politiques. Toutes et tous avons dû nous réinventer pour nous adapter. Les personnes issues de l’immigration doivent accepter de perdre leurs repères habituels, leurs représentations sociales pourtant acquises depuis le berceau. Si plusieurs d’entre elles choisissent de vivre dans un nouvel environnement, d’autres optent pour cette solution en raison de conditions socioéconomiques et politiques difficiles, parfois inhumaines. Les guerres, les génocides, les conflits et les conditions climatiques génèrent et provoquent de plus en plus de trajectoires migratoires du Sud au Nord. Les gestionnaires et propriétaires d’entreprises, les membres de la communauté étudiante et du corps enseignant et le lectorat du grand public intéressés à cette interdépendance globale apprécieront lire et appliquer ces pratiques d’intégration sociale, scolaire, postsecondaire et professionnelle concrètes et expérimentées avec succès au Québec et dans plusieurs pays membres de l’Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE).

Download or read book Belonging written by Keith G. Banting and published by Institute for Research on Public Policy. This book was released on 2007 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diversity is one of Canada's defining characteristics. Yet here, as in other Western democracies, diversity policies are being called into question by developments such as the growing salience of identity, race and religion. Do minorities really feel they belong to the country? Is discrimination still a reality? Is social cohesion being strained? In this volume, leading scholars from Canada, Europe and the United States explore two broad policy agendas: first, the multicultural agenda, which focuses on recognizing cultural differences, helping minorities express their distinct identities and practices, and building more inclusive conceptions of citizenship; and second, the integration agenda, which seeks to bring minorities into the mainstream, strengthen the sense of mutual support and solidarity, and reinforce the bonds of a common community. The authors of these 15 chapters and 8 commentaries examine these questions from a range of perspectives, with a focus on ethnocultural minorities and indigenous peoples. In their concluding chapter, the editors discuss priorities that emerge from the analysis and relate them to the objectives of strengthening belonging and shared citizenship. Book jacket.

Download or read book Reasonable Accommodation written by Lori G. Beaman and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2012-09-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Often when a religious minority challenges mainstream customs, the phrase “reasonable accommodation” is at the centre of the ensuing debate. But what exactly is reasonable accommodation? Does it achieve its goal of integrating the rights of religious minorities with those of mainstream society – or does it emphasize inequality? Reasonable Accommodation features eight essays that seek to define the meaning of reasonable accommodation within Canada and abroad. These probing explorations touch on current hot-button topics such as women’s right to wear the niqab in public, religious diversity in prisons, and accommodating sexual diversity. Woven throughout are questions and commentary about whether there really is a religious majority in Canada, how the idea of “shared values” obscures debate, and how tolerating religious differences simply isn’t enough to guarantee equality. Reasonable Accommodation provides a much-needed critical assessment of this phrase and theorizes religious diversity and freedom of religion beyond the meaning of “tolerance” as it sometimes implies.

Download or read book L int gration socioprofessionnelle des personnes immigrantes au Qu bec written by Kamel Béji and published by Editions JFD. This book was released on 2024-01-30 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis au moins deux décennies, la tendance de la politique migratoire au Québec s’est clairement prononcée en faveur d’une immigration économique permettant de faire face aux raretés de main-d’oeuvre dans plusieurs secteurs d’activités et dans différentes régions du Québec. La plupart des études montrent que l’intégration des personnes immigrantes a certes une dimension économique, mais elle implique également des dimensions sociales, psychologiques, politiques, etc. Cet ouvrage invite alors explicitement à réfléchir sur les conditions d’intégration sociale et professionnelle des personnes immigrantes. Une réflexion qui se doit d’être multidimensionnelle et multidisciplinaire. Évoquant le parcours des personnes immigrantes et reposant sur plusieurs disciplines, cet ouvrage donne d’abord un portrait statistique de l’immigration au Québec et met en avant les défis majeurs de l’intégration des personnes immigrantes. Il présente également les stratégies gagnantes permettant, aussi bien pour les personnes que pour les organisations, d’améliorer les chances d’une intégration réussie. Ensuite, l’ouvrage privilégie une approche intersectionnelle analysant les parcours et les défis particuliers pour les femmes et les familles. Enfin, il aborde le rôle des institutions dans cette intégration, notamment celui des ordres professionnels, des syndicats, des instances gouvernementales et des organismes d’employabilité. Cet ouvrage montre alors qu’une meilleure intégration et rétention des personnes immigrantes dans les organisations et dans les régions relève de la responsabilité de toutes et de tous et nécessite une vision holiste et humaniste, dépassant la seule nécessité économique de répondre à la pénurie de main-d’oeuvre.

This book was released on 2013-06-11T00:00:00-04:00 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment mettre en oeuvre des mesures de régionalisation de l'immigration qui respectent les projets personnels et les compétences des immigrants tout en tablant sur les savoirs, les potentiels et les capitaux des infrastructures, mais aussi des acteurs régionaux? Cet ouvrage est le fruit d'un dialogue entre les chercheurs et les acteurs politiques et communautaires. La première partie est dédiée aux transitions de vie des immigrants et de leur famille en région. Certaines institutions sont analysées comme des noeuds d'articulation des projets individuels. Pensons à l'école comme espace de socialisation des jeunes ou encore à l'université qui représente un passage obligé et fortement investi par de nombreux immigrants en région et plus précisément par de jeunes femmes qui expérimentent le quadruple statut de migrantes, mères, travailleuses et étudiantes. Dans la seconde partie, ces mèmes institutions sont analysées comme faisant partie du capital d'attraction et de rétention des immigrants, selon trois grandes dimensions de ce capital: l'employabilité, la gouvernance et l'ouverture locale aux immigrants.

Download or read book Psychoanalysis and Projective Methods in Personality Assessment written by Benoît Verdon and published by Hogrefe Publishing. This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Unique synthesis from the French School of psychoanalytical projective methods This unique book synthesizes the work of leading thinkers of the French School of psychoanalytical projective methods in personality assessment. The French School is a direct successor to Rorschach's and Murray's original approaches using the Rorschach Test and the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). Underlying this method is the idea of the coexistence of conscious and unconscious processes, of opposite instinctual pairs, and of agents that are ruled by conflicts (Freud). Transitional activity is seen as part of an intermediate space, a mediator space, and bearer of messages between the subject and the clinician (Winnicott). This book brings to life the important contributions of the French School, firstly exploring its theories and methods and then its clinical applications. Detailed case studies from different stages of life examine the psychopathology of everyday life with its severe and disabling states of suffering. Contemporary advances in research and clinical work are presented, and the groundbreaking early work of Nina Rausch de Traubenberg, Vica Shentoub, and Rosine Debray are also critically reread and discussed. Clinical tools adapted for clinicians and researchers in the appendices include a useful schema to facilitate the interpretation of the Rorschach and TAT together, a list of latent solicitations for the TAT, and the current version of the TAT Scoring Grid. This book is essential reading for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, psychotherapists, researchers, and students interested in applying psychoanalytical theory to projective methods"--
