Published: July 2017

Abstract: Pesantren is an educational institution that focuses on Islamic religious education. Along the changing times, pesantren have evolved both in terms of the curriculum as well as the vision and mission, such as Tahfidzul Qur'an curriculum and environmental concerns curriculum. The Government of Indonesia through the Ministry of Environment in collaboration with the Ministry of Religious Affairs signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to launch programs eco-pesantren. Pengging, Boyolali is a zone with potential for abundant groundwater discharge. But in some drought, groundwater discharge shrinkage even to cause a reduction in the number of springs. The problems of the Eco-Pesantren Tahfidzul Qur'an is how the effort to plan and design an Eco-Pesantren Tahfidzul Qur'an which facilitate learning and teaching religious knowledge and general knowledge, memorizing the Qur'an, and environmental awareness activities. The existence of Eco-Pesantren Tahfidzul Qur'an aims to fulfill space of teaching and learning religious knowledge and general knowledge, memorizing the Qur'an, and environmental awareness activities. The architectural design method with consideration of Ecological Architecture approach is capable of displaying eco-friendly themed activities promoted by Eco-Pesantren Tahfidzul Qur'an. The concept of Eco-Pesantren Tahfidzul Qur'an will apply the concept of Ecological Architecture approach that includes zone concept space, building orientation, processing site, as well as the concept of architectural approach in the application of eco-pesantren.

Total coliform and Escherichia coli contamination in rural well water: analysis for passive surveillance
Authors: Invik Jesse , Barkema Herman W. , Massolo Alessandro , Neumann Norman F. , Checkley Sylvia
Published: July 2017

With increasing stress on our water resources and recent waterborne disease outbreaks, understanding the epidemiology of waterborne pathogens is crucial to build surveillance systems. The purpose of this study was to explore techniques for describing microbial water quality in rural drinking water wells, based on spatiotemporal analysis, time series analysis and relative risk mapping. Tests results for Escherichia coli and coliforms from private and small public well water samples, collected between 2004 and 2012 in Alberta, Canada, were used for the analysis. Overall, 14.6 and 1.5% of the wells were total coliform and E. coli-positive, respectively. Private well samples were more often total coliform or E. coli-positive compared with untreated public well samples. Using relative risk mapping we were able to identify areas of higher risk for bacterial contamination of groundwater in the province not previously identified. Incorporation of time series analysis demonstrated peak contamination occurring for E. coli in July and a later peak for total coliforms in September, suggesting a temporal dissociation between these indicators in terms of groundwater quality, and highlighting the potential need to increase monitoring during certain periods of the year.
Determinants of the use of alternatives to arsenic-contaminated shallow groundwater: an exploratory study in rural West Bengal, India

Published: July 2017

Shallow groundwater containing toxic concentrations of arsenic is the primary source of drinking water for millions of households in rural West Bengal, India. Often, this water also contains unpleasant levels of iron and non-negligible fecal contamination. Alternatives to shallow groundwater are increasingly available, including government-built deep tubewells, water purchased from independent providers, municipal piped water, and household filters. We conducted a survey of 501 households in Murshidabad district in 2014 to explore what influenced the use of available alternatives. Socioeconomic status and the perceived likelihood of gastrointestinal (GI) illness (which was associated with dissatisfaction with iron in groundwater) were the primary determinants of the use of alternatives. Arsenic knowledge was limited. The choice amongst alternatives was influenced by economic, social, and aesthetic factors, but not by health risk perceptions. The use of purchased water was rarely exclusive and was strongly associated with socioeconomic status, suggesting that this form of market-based water provision does not ensure universal access. Demand for purchased water appeared to decrease significantly shortly after free piped water became available at public taps. Our results suggest that arsenic mitigation interventions that also address co-occurring water problems (iron, GI illness) could be more effective than a focus on arsenic alone.

Results of surgical treatment in 31 patients with different congenital aortic arch pathologies are presented. Two intraoperative methods of cerebral protection: deep hypothermia (n = 15), antegrade perfusion (n = 16) were used over a period from 2008 to 2012. Hospital mortality and neurologic complications in the antegrade perfusion group were significantly lower than those in the deep hypothermia group. However, a high rate of renal complications requires further investigation of this problem, identification of possible causes and improvement of the method.

Published: July 2017

The aim of the study was to investigate the intensity of a number of risk factors resulting in cardiovascular complications, such as body mass index (BMI), level of mean arterial pressure (MAP), left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and also ECG data (heart rate variability and ventricular ectopic activity) depending on the severity of obstructive respiratory disturbances during sleep. 76 patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) were included in the study. 38 patients with a severe form of OSAS underwent prolonged apparatus treatment which included generating positive pressure in their upper airways. After 4-month treatment the patients of this group underwent another examination to estimate all the parameters studied. Examination of patients with OSAS revealed that a number of indices (BMI, LVMI and MAP) showing the intensity of basic modified cardiovascular risk factors, such as obesity and arterial hypertension, correlate to the level of obstructive respiratory disturbances during sleep, which was estimated according to apnea-hypopnea index (AHI). Twenty-four-hour ECG monitoring of patients with OSAS showed a tendency for a decrease in heart rate variability and an increase in ventricular ectopic activity in patients with more apparent obstructive respiratory disturbances during sleep and with negative disease dynamics against the background of CPAP therapy.

Published: July 2017

The long-term results of the cut and sew Maze III procedure and its modification of radio-frequency fragmentation of atria by using Maze IV are analyzed. The patients' quality of life in the remote period is assessed. From 2004 to 2009 102 patients underwent fragmentation of atria during correction of valve diseases. Patients were divided into 2 groups: in the 1 st group the cut and sew technology-based Maze III procedure was performed, while in the 2nd group use was made of RF fragmentation of atria by means of a bipolar electrode. The quality of life was assessed by using a SF-36 questionnaire. The observation period in the first group was 55.699.70 months (from 43 to 75 months), while that in the second group amounted to 22.183.05 (from 17 to 29 months). The quality of life in the remote period reliably improved over all scales of the questionnaire and correlated with the average values of the healthy population. In 97.3% of patients of the 1st group and in 96.8% of patients of the 2nd group with regular rhythm, the transport function of atria was restored. Freedom from a stroke by the third year of follow-up ran to 95.1 in the 1st group and 94.9% in the 2nd one. Thus, mitral valve repair in combination with AF removal considerably improves the patients' quality of life in the remote postoperative period. The Maze procedure with use of RF energy is as efficient as classical cut and sew technology.

The study was aimed at testing the hypothesis that perioperative infusion of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids would reduce the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation in CAD patients operated under CPB. The authors carried out a prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. 39 CAD patients who had undergone surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass were randomized into 2 groups. 18 patients were infused with omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omegaven, Fresenius Kabi, Germany) starting with 200 mg/kg/day before anaesthesia induction for 24 hours followed by 100 mg/kg/day from second to seventh day postoperatively. 21 patients received an equivalent dose of placebo (Intralipid, Fresenius Kabi, Germany). The primary endpoint was freedom from atrial fibrillation at 2-year follow-up. A Reveal cardiac monitor was implanted subcutaneously in all patients. Data from cardiac monitor was collected on the 10th day and at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months postoperatively. Postoperative atrial fibrillation developed in 4 (19%) patients in the control group and in 5 (27.8%) patients in the study group at 10-day follow-up (p = 0.88). At 2-year follow-up, 5 (27.8%) patients in the control group and 6 (35.3%) patients in the study group had atrial fibrillation (p = 0.9). The results of our research do not confirm the efficiency of perioperative infusion of omega-3 polyun-saturated fatty acids to prevent the occurrence of atrial fibrillation.

The purpose of this research was to study the influence of cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT) in combination with other interventional techniques used during one hospital stay on systemic inflammation and neurohumoral status in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP). The best response to CRT was estimated in 59 patients with ICMP (mean age 588.3 years, 92% males).The patients were divided into 2 groups: Group I patients (n=48) included those with 'pure' CRT, while Group II patients (n=11) underwent CRT, coronary stenting (CS), radiofrequency atrioventricular node ablation (RFA). All interventions were performed during one hospital stay. There were no significant differences in demographic characteristics between the groups. Mean follow-up was 6.0 [2.0; 16.0] months. Plasma levels of Nt-proBNP, interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-), C-reactive protein (CRP), urinary levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine (NE) were measured. The patients with a decrease in left ventricular end-systolic volume 15% were classified as responders. There were no significant differences in responders between the groups and was equal to 32 (67%) and 9 (82%) respectively. At baseline the plasma levels of IL-6 and CRP were higher in Group II as compared with Group I: 9.3 [4.6; 14.8] vs 3.3 [1.9; 5.2] pg/ml, respectively (p=0.004) and 8.0 [6.0; 10.2] vs 3.2 [1.5; 5.1] mg/ml respectively (p=0.065). At baseline the urinary NE level was lower in Group II as compared with Group I: 30.0 [17.6; 34.4] vs 58.0 [38.5; 74.6] nmol/ml respectively (p=0.023). During follow-up in Group I only Nt-proBNP level (p=0.015) tended to decrease. In Group II the levels of IL-6 (p=0.038), TNF- (p=0.024), CRP (p=0.031) decreased and NE level increased (p=0.038). Thus, the combination of CRT with other interventions is associated with a decrease in systemic inflammation and an impact on the neurohumoral status of patients with ICMP as compared with 'pure' CRT.

IntroducciónSin apartarnos del respeto que debemos hacia todas las expresiones de la cultura, podemos decir que es a través del patrimonio arquitectónico, marco omnipresente de nuestra vida, que se establece, de manera natural e intensa, el diálogo vivido diariamente entre ayer y hoy. Es por su intermedio que se materializa el sentimiento, fundamental para el equilibrio del hombre, de la presencia del pasado, de la continuidad de la raza, de su cultura, de su inteligencia y de su creatividad. Así, este patrimonio, ilustre o modesto heredado de sus antepasados es, para la mayor parte de los pueblos, el vector más visible de su identidad y su conservación constituye hoy en día una preocupación universal.

La identificación de paleoindios en el oeste de Sudamérica
Authors: Lynch Thomas
Published: July 2017

La definición de paleoindios se ha hecho cada vez más difícil, pero también más interesante, ya que el énfasis cambió de la tipología a la cronología, y, entonces, a la adaptación y contexto medioambiental. A pesar de la falta de industrias de piedra trabajada, completas y consistentes, similares a las que caracterizan los paleoindios en Norteamérica, y aún en Centroamérica, el nexo es aún más fácilmente establecido a través de puntas acanaladas, bordes y bases desafiladas, raspadores terminales y romo, raspadores de uña, cuchillos?raspadores, perforadores y tecnología de láminas. La ausencia de un discreto horizonte cronológico, comparable al período Clovis en Norteamérica, se relaciona con la continua disputa sobre asociaciones culturales para las fechas sudamericanas más tempranas, la posibilidad de una adaptación arcaica más temprana, y la cuestión del locus de los orígenes paleoindios.

OBJECTIVE

The relationship between glycemic variability and the incidence of Alzheimer disease (AD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is unclear. The aim of this study was to examine visit-to-visit variations in fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) represented by the coefficient of variation (CV) and to determine whether they were independently associated with AD, irrespective of HbA1c and other traditional risk factors in such patients.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

Patients with T2DM enrolled in the National Diabetes Care Management Program, age ≥60 years, and without diagnosis of AD (n = 16,706) were included in the study. Potential risk factors were analyzed using extended Cox proportional hazards regression models for competing risk of mortality on AD incidence.

RESULTS

During a median follow-up of 8.88 years, 831 incident cases of AD were identified, with a crude incidence rate of 3.5/1,000 person-years. After adjustment for sociodemographic factors, lifestyle behaviors, diabetes-related variables, FPG and HbA1c, drug-related variables, and comorbidities, both FPG CV and HbA1c CV were found to be significant predictors of AD, with corresponding hazard ratios of 1.27 (95% CI 1.06–1.52) for the third tertile in FPG CV and 1.32 (95% CI 1.11–1.58) for the third tertile in HbA1c CV.

CONCLUSIONS

FPG CV and HbA1c CV are independently associated with AD. The associations between glycemic variability and AD demonstrated in this study suggest a linked pathophysiological mechanism, which is worthy of further investigation. Further research is required to confirm our results and to evaluate whether FPG CV and HbA1c CV can be valuable therapeutic targets for patients with T2DM at risk.

Harmony is the common goal of both government and religious adherents in Palu which is plural in terms of ethnic group and religion. As it is commonly known that plurality is not only a symbol of strength in society but also a source of conflict. Based on this, this paper is to examine the effectiveness of policy on religious harmony in Palu by portraying the condition of religious harmony in society and analyzing the role of the Inter-Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Palu. It is concluded that, first, harmony in Palu is achieved due to piety of religious adherents. Second, the role of the Inter-Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Palu is still weak. This is caused by the fact that the program is not yet rightly implemented due to the lack of financial support and the organizers do not know exactly their role and task. Third, the Inter-Religious Harmony Forum (FKUB) in Palu do not properly perform its task in driving religious harmony in society.
Diarreias agudas em Caraguatatuba: situação epidemiológica e sugestões para monitoramento
Authors: Asmus Gabriela Farias , Seixas Sônia Regina da Cal , Gonzalez Eduardo
Published: July 2017

Este estudo analisou a incidência de diarreias agudas em Caraguatatuba (SP), um município litorâneo que possui problemática socioambiental semelhante a muitas outras localidades brasileiras: déficits em saneamento, enchentes urbanas e falta de infraestrutura para acomodar a população crescente. Em 2002, a taxa de incidência de diarreias era 37 casos/1000 habitantes. Dez anos depois, a taxa era 48,6. Observou-se que a incidência é elevada nas 6 primeiras semanas epidemiológicas do ano. As taxas de incidência na população infantil são maiores, embora 46% dos casos brutos recaiam sobre a população adulta. Os turistas chegam a representar 25% dos casos nas 4 primeiras semanas do ano, mas não são diretamente responsáveis pelo aumento de registros no período. Num contexto de mudanças ambientais globais, há expectativa de aumento de casos de registros no verão, estação que concentra maiores volumes de chuva, temperaturas elevadas e queda de balneabilidade das praias. Um monitoramento adequado das diarreias agudas frente aos novos desafios ambientais poderia incluir a informatização de dados como endereços de incidência, obrigatoriedade de elucidação de agente etiológico e distinção de idosos entre as faixas etárias usualmente coletadas pelo programa MDDA.

O presente estudo teve como objetivo verificar a aptidão física em escolares do primeiro ciclo escolar, investigando possíveis fatores de influência, tais como o índice de massa corporal (IMC), o sexo e a quantidade de sono. A amostra do estudo foi constituída por 200 escolares, de ambos os sexos das séries iniciais do ensino fundamental. A quantidade de horas de sono foi obtida mediante entrevista e a aptidão física através da bateria de testes Projeto Esporte Brasil (PROESP-BR). Para a análise aplicou-se o teste t de student com estatística descritiva de média e desvio padrão. Os resultados demostraram diferenças para o IMC em relação a comparação entre as horas de sono (< 9 horas: 18,69 Kg/m2 ± 4,03; > 9 horas: 17,63 Kg/m2 ± 3,11; p: 0,040*). A comparação entre sexo também evidenciou diferenças, sendo quase todos os testes melhores atribuídos aos meninos, exceto a flexibilidade, cujo foi maior no sexo feminino. Quando comparado a classificação de saúde do IMC em relação aos testes, os escolares que estavam dentro da “Zona Saudável” apresentaram melhor desempenho na maioria dos testes. Os resultados demonstraram que variáveis como IMC, sexo e quantidade de sono podem interferir na aptidão física, corroborando em algumas situações para quadros de “Zona de Risco a Saúde”.

Los programas académicos de Comunicación Social son muy recientes. Si se hiciera una comparación con la tradición varias veces milenaria de la Medicina o del Derecho, de la Astronomía o de las Matemáticas, por ejemplo, la Comunicación Social, cuyos estudios formales académicos apenas superan el medio siglo, con gran efuerzo merecería el nombre de embrión.
Rola aktywistek społecznych w organizowaniu życia kulturalnego wśród polskich więźniarek w niemieckich obozach koncentracyjnych podczas drugiej wojny światowej
Authors: Wodarska-Ogidel Katarzyna
Published: July 2017

Jedną z form przetrwania w skrajnie trudnych dla życia warunkach obozów koncentracyjnych było podtrzymywanie życia kulturalnego, co świadczy o niezwykle istotnej roli kultury w zachowaniu człowieczeństwa i własnej osobowości. Uczestnictwo w najdrobniejszych nawet wydarzeniach o charakterze kulturalnym wnosiło do życia uwięzionych cząstkę innego świata. Mogła być to własna twórczość, deklamacja znanych utworów, czy czynne lub bierne branie udziału w różnego typu formach performatywnych, które były najłatwiejszym środkiem artystycznego wyrazu. Analizując historię Janiny Peretjatkowicz, Karli Lanckorońskiej, Mai Berezowskiej, Walerii Felchnerowskiej czy Matyldy Woliniewskiej zaangażowanych w tworzenie wewnętrznych struktur obozowych, samopomoc koleżeńską i życie oświatowo-kulturalne widzimy, że największy wpływ na sukces tych przedsięwzięć w obozach kobiecych miała działalność kobiet wykształconych i aktywnych zawodowo przed wojną. Ich wewnętrzna siła, a często też doświadczenia w pracy społecznej aktywizowały do wspólnych działań całą grupę.
François Poulain de la Barre jako apologeta kobiet
Authors: Turonek-Ostrowska Katarzyna
Published: July 2017

W artykule omówiono na przykładzie Francoisa Poulaina de la Barre, że nie wszyscy mężczyźni odmawiali kobietom uczestniczenia w życiu społecznym i nie tylko one same walczyły o ich równe traktowanie. Przedstawienie poglądów Poulaina pozwoliło spojrzeć na problem kobiet z szerszej perspektywy, ponieważ w XVII w. kobiety pozostawiane były w cieniu mężczyzn, nie były traktowane jako równorzędne partnerki do rozmów. Poulain dał równe szanse kobiecie i mężczyźnie na kształtowanie samych siebie. Przyjmując od Kartezjusza krytykę doświadczenia jako metody rzeczywistości wykazano, że tak jak doświadczenie okazało się błędne jako metoda poznawania rzeczywistości, tak też codzienne doświadczenia odnośnie zachowań obu płci nie oddają prawdziwej natury kobiety i mężczyzny. Wykazano, że trzeba wyzbyć się uprzedzeń względem płci, ponieważ posiadając odpowiednią wiedzę i narzędzia zarówno kobiety i mężczyźni mogą osiągać takie same wyniki w każdej dziedzinie życia. Ponadto wykazano, że w kontekście historycznym filozof może jawić się jako apologeta kobiet, ponieważ miał duży wkład w rozważaniach nad ich sytuacją społeczną. Filozof domagał się zmian społecznych, za głoszoną przez niego ideą równości płci kryło się pojęcie równości społecznej w ogóle.
The persistent caste divide in India’s infant mortality: A study of Dalits (ex-untouchables), Adivasis (indigenous peoples), Other Backward Classes, and forward castes
Authors: Ram Bali , Singh Abhishek , Yadav Awdhesh
Published: July 2017

Using data from two national surveys, this paper examines caste differences in infant mortality in India. We find that children from the three lower caste groups—Dalits (ex-untouchables), Adivasis (indigenous peoples), and Other Backward Classes—are significantly more likely than forward-caste children to die young. While this observation largely mirrors caste differences in socioeconomic conditions, low socioeconomic status is found to be only a partial explanation for higher infant mortality among lower castes. Higher mortality risks among backward-class children are almost entirely attributable to background characteristics. However, Dalit children are most vulnerable in the neonatal period even when all background characteristics are taken into account, whereas Adivasi children remain highly vulnerable in the post-neonatal period.Au moyen des données provenant des deux enquêtes nationales, cet article examine les différences dans la mortalité infantile par caste en Inde. Nous constatons que, par rapport aux enfants des castes élevées, ceux des trois castes inférieures, notamment les dalits (les ex-intouchables), les adivasis (peuples indigènes) et autres classes défavorisées (plusieurs castes désignées comme appartenant à un groupe défavorisé) courent un risque beaucoup plus grand de mourir jeunes. Bien que cette observation reflète largement les différences entre les castes sur le plan socioéconomique, le faible niveau socioéconomique n’explique qu’en partie le taux de mortalité plus élevé chez les castes inférieures. Les risques de mortalité des enfants des castes inférieures étaient presque entièrement attribuables aux caractéristiques des antécédents de la mère. Cependant, les enfants dalits demeurent les plus vulnérables pendant la période néonatale, bien que le risque de mortalité demeure le même que celui des enfants des castes supérieures pour la période post-néonatale. L’inverse est vrai pour les enfants adivasis : les caractéristiques des antécédents expliquent leur plus grande vulnérabilité pendant la période néonatale, mais pas pendant la période post-néonatale.
Familial Orientations and the Rationales for Childbearing Behaviour
Authors: Erfani Amir , Beaujot Roderic
Published: July 2017

Using a local qualitative sample from Ontario, we explore the rationales for childbearing behaviour across contrasting familial orientations. There are considerable similarities among respondents with traditional and modern familial orientations in terms of the reasons for having children and the costs and values of children. Nonetheless, persons with modern orientations are more likely to give individual related reasons for having children, and to see the value of children in terms of personal needs and desires. The largest difference relates to the ideal timing of childbearing, as persons with modern orientations are more likely to prefer childbearing in the late 20s or early 30s. While the rationales offered by respondents indicate a culture that is supportive of childbearing, and individuals with more modern orientations have views similar to those with traditional orientations on ideal family size and on the value and cost of children, they will probably have fewer children given their more individualistic orientation to childbearing and the conviction that later childbearing is better.

Low Fertility and Contraceptive Sterilization: The Canadian Case
Authors: Charton Laurence , Lapierre-Adamcyk Evelyne
Published: July 2017

This article presents fertility variations among the Canadian regions and
analyses the paths leading to the choice of contraceptive sterilization.
Based on data from the 2001 General Social Survey, the research shows
that while every region has adopted a low fertility regime, substantial
differences are observed among women aged 40-49 in 2001: Quebec
couples had fewer children; among those in stable unions, Quebec
couples were also more likely to choose contraceptive sterilization, while
this was not the case among those couples where at least one of the
spouses was in a second union; moreover, couples in such unions were
less likely to have a common child in Québec than in other regions. In
the end, if regional differences in the choice of sterilization persist, they
are not large, and this choice is driven by fertility decisions everywhere.
The Effect of Premarital Cohabitation on Marital Stability over the Duration of Marriage
Authors: Budinski Ronald A. , Trovato Frank
Published: July 2017

Research has shown that premarital cohabitors who eventually marry are more
likely to divorce or separate than persons who do not cohabit prior to marriage. This study investigates the possibility that the difference in marital stability between cohabitors and non-cohabitors may change with increasing duration of marriage. Using Canadian 1995 General Social Survey data, various
Proportional Hazards Models were specified to compare the marital dissolution risks of cohabitors and non-cohabitors, while controlling for a set of relevant factors. Initially, it was found that both groups had virtually identical dissolution risks. However, further specification of the hazards model indicated that indeed cohabitors have a greater risk of marital dissolution than noncohabitors. Further tests to differentiate between short- and long-term unions indicated that premarital cohabitors have a greater dissolution risk in the first ten years of their union, while non-cohabitors have a greater hazard after ten years of marriage. We discuss these findings in the context of the North American based literature on cohabitation and marriage dissolution, and offer suggestions for further study.
Aboriginal population of Canada: growth dynamics under conditions of encounter of civilisations
Authors: Romaniuc Anatole
Published: July 2017

This paper endeavours to capture the broad configuration of demographic
evolution of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada from the early contacts with
Europeans to the present. The main stages thereof are identified and the
underlying factors explored, against the historical background of Aboriginal
and European civilisations' encounter. While taking stock of the past, the paper takes a glimpse into the future. It concludes with a review of demographically-driven policy issues that the First Nations are likely to confront as they step into the 21s Century.
The Impact of Currency Exchange Rates and Canadian and U.S. Unemployment Rates on Non-Immigrant Visas from Canada to the U.S.
Authors: Harrell W. Andrew , Boisvert Jennifer A.
Published: July 2017

Changes in immigration rates by Canadians from 1989 to 2006 were examined
for three non-immigrant visa categories. Cross correlation functions (CCF)
were calculated relating changes in numbers of visas to changes in Canada-U.S.
currency exchange and unemployment rates. Regression analyses tested Han-
Ibbott’s (2005) model of immigration decision-making and a variation of
Herrnstein’s (1961) matching law. CCF analysis found that currency exchange
and unemployment rates were predictive of changes in immigration rates.
Regression analyses indicated that a devalued Canadian dollar discouraged
migration to the U.S. These findings have implications for Canada-U.S.
inequities in bilateral immigration under NAFTA, with Canada experiencing a
greater drain in human capital.
