title: Crossing alone the Mediterranean sea. Some critical issues about unaccompanied minors in Europe

description: Abstract Despite the increasing social impact of unaccompanied migrant minors (UAMs) in many European Union (EU) member states, EU regulations on UAMs are still inadequate and the necessary protection measures are thus insufficient. More specifically, the “best interest of the child”, stated in a large number of international documents, may not be properly guaranteed. In addition, there is often a discrepancy between the rights of migrant children, according to the international legislation, and the actual protection they receive. Moreover, despite the declared aim of reaching a common standard of reception and inclusion, policies and practices across Europe are still very different. The paper attempts to highlight and discuss some critical issues regarding UAMs in Europe. Over and beyond the need for the EU to develop a common framework, greater efforts should be made in order to improve inclusion of UAMs, especially to ensure the management of the phenomenon beyond the current emergency.

title: Refugee crisis representation on German online press: the case of Aylan Kurdi

description: Abstract This paper is focused in examining the digital news representation of Syrian refugee crisis and the conformation of the reader’s opinions in Germany. Data collection will be addressed on reviewing German online news and the reader’s comments related with one remarkable event during the actual migration crisis in Europe: The note about the child Aylan or Alan Kurdi, that drowned in the coast of Turkey in September 02 of 2015. The main aim of this paper is to understand the role of media crisis representation on the opinions of German people. How does media shape public reactions in pro and against helping refugees? And what kind of actions could the European authorities undertake to protect the human rights of refugees and to diminish hate discourse online.

title: “You have to look beautiful to sell”: the Senegalese production of trade spaces in Santa Maria (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil)

description: Abstract This paper deals with the Senegalese street sales in the city of Santa Maria (Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil), seeking to answer the following question: “how does the production of sale spaces by the Senegalese people, in Santa Maria, contributes to their insertion in the city’s street commerce?” Through an ethnography developed between 2016 and 2017, we propose that the production of sales spaces by these immigrants constitutes a daily practice that positively represents them in the interactions with the clientele and ethnically differentiates them from other street vendors who occupy the same social space.

title: A bus as a public space. Multiculturalism and Urban Ethnography in Milan

description: Abstract The paper draws on a research and teaching project carried out with an international class of students in Urban Ethnography in the MSC in Urban Planning and Policy at Politecnico di Milano (Italy). A particular focus of the project was on exploring the role played by public spaces in supporting the coexistence of a multitude of strangers in the city through the continuous negotiation of diversity and difference. In the field work, spatial and social dynamics occurring in a particular and ‘compressed’ public space - the 90-91 trolley-bus circle-line in Milan - are explored and discussed as a space of confrontation in a perspective of daily multiculturalism.

title: Mexican racisms and xenophobias againts migrants: 1910 - 2018

description: Abstract This article describes and analyzes: a) the very restrictive Mexican immigration laws and policies between 1910 and our days, that have turned Mexico into “a closed doors’ country towards immigration; b) the racist, xenophobic and often extremely violent practices that trans migrants, migrants, migrants who should be treated as refugees, and deported undocumented Mexicans from the USA have been facing in the last years, as the result of the association of corrupt migration agents and organized crime, but also of the xenophobic feelings and ideas of Mexicans themselves.

title: Forced migration in sub-Saharan Africa: some subsidies on refugees in Mozambique

description: Abstract In this article we intend to make a succinct analysis of the forced migratory dynamics in sub-Saharan Africa that affect Mozambique, a country inserted in a complex regional context that refers to the plural condition of a country of emigration, immigration and transit. The findings of the investigation indicate that forced migratory flows in the country come mainly from central Africa and the Horn of Africa, as a result of the trivialized and persistent violence in the countries of these regions. Refugees seeking settlement or asylum mainly go to central and northern Mozambique, as a result of the relatively stable socio-economic and political situation they find, when compared to many countries in the sub-Saharan region.

title: The human rights of migrants in Angola: two years after the visit of the UN special observer

description: Abstract There is growing interest in the human right of migrants in Angola. Not long ago, Angolans used to leave their country because of the war. Nevertheless, since the end of the conflict, in 2002, the country has seen the flows of immigrants and refugees. Political stability and economic growth are among the pull factors. Even the economic crisis, which is actually affecting the country, has stopped the flows of migrants. For this reason, François Crépeau, the UN special rapporteur on the human rights of migrants, visited the country. At the end of his stay, he wrote a report on the human rights of migrants. This article intends to analyze it and emphasize that, two years after his visit, the situation remains the same.

title: Or asylum against oppression: the case of Chilean exiles who settled in the city of Malmö (Sweden)

description: Abstract The military dictatorship lived in Chile between 1973 and 1990 punitively chased its detractors, reason why thousands of people had to abandon the country to protect their integrity. Between the different destinations selected by the diáspora, Sweden was a hospitable society because of the social and political prevailing context. The following article describes how a group of Chilean refugees lived their exile at the city of Malmö. The main finding is that the identity of these people had a collective reconstruction as political immigrants after the military dictatorship had come to an end. At the discussion, existing literature about Chilean exiled in Europe is regarded and suggestions are made for future research.

title: Mohamed’s store. Transnational spaces, Muslim practices and gender relations among Senegalese migrants in a small city in Rio Grande do Sul

description: Abstract This paper addresses the specificities of Senegalese migratory experiences and the transnational connections that support this migratory flow, based on Muslim Mourides´ principles. The reflections are grounded on ethnographic research carried out for two years in a small city of Rio Grande do Sul. The analysis focuses on life stories of migrants whom we have met at Mohammed’s store, qualified as a transnational space, and emphasizes particularities of these stories observed in gender relations laid down by Mourides. This study deals with gender relations and gives visibility to this migratory contingent, which does not appear in the record of the Senegalese migrants distribution in this state.

title: The central place of migrations in the reproduction of advanced societies

description: Abstract International migration occupies a central place in the reproduction of advanced societies. As a demographic component, they contribute to cover the population gaps left by ageing and declining birth rates, and thus, support the demographic reproduction of the population. On the other hand, as a labor force contribute to cover deficits labor and sustaining capital accumulation and reproduction of the economy. As workers, they preferentially insert themselves into tasks of the daily reproduction of the middle and upper classes, contributing to sustain their lifestyles and patterns of consumption in a globalized world.

title: Civil society organizations in high-immigration borders. Between humanitarianism and the defense of rights

description: Abstract The purpose of this article is analyzing the role of Civil Society Organizations (CSO) in places of high-immigration borders, such as the Mexico-United States and the Morocco-Spain borders, two of the most important migration corridors in the world. In these places, and under an increasing surveillance and militarization, CSO have for some time been carrying out work that constantly faces constraints imposed by state immigration and border control policies. The article is based on the results of the field work undertaken at the border city of Tijuana (Mexico) and the Autonomous Cities of Ceuta and Melilla (Spain). Our researches show how the actions of CSO in relation to immigrants in transit, deportees and refugees oscillate between humanitarian help and the defense of rights, even when flow control policies increasingly limit the work of the organizations - especially those that have a more critical stance.

title: Induction of cytotoxic and genotoxic effects of Guandu River waters in the Allium cepa system

description: The Guandu River is the main source of water supply for the metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro and has been facing serious environmental problems due to increasing population and industrial pollution, as well as the presence of polluted tributaries. This study analyzed the cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of the Guandu River's waters, through the use of the Allium cepa test system. Collection points were chosen at the greatest confluences of pollutant sources. The sampling included two different seasons: the rainy season (January and February) and the dry season (June and July). The analyses of 5000 cells per treatment showed that all the points studied had some degree of cytotoxicity and/or genotoxicity. Two sampling locations, which receive major influxes from the polluted waters of the Poços/Queimados and Cabuçu/Ipiranga Rivers, stood out for the strong presence of micronuclei, sticky chromosomes, mitotic spindle abnormalities, necrotic cells and nucleolar changes compared to the negative control. At least two locations also found changes in the mitotic index. The existence of variations in the number of cytotoxic and genotoxic changes between periods of rain and drought indicates that the cytotoxic and genotoxic potential of the water pollutants varies according to time, depending on the discharges of the tributary rivers and the increase of contaminated effluents. The results highlight the importance of bio-monitoring to assist managers in the control of effluent discharge.

title: Removal of lead in aqueous solutions using amorphous nanoaluminophosphates

description: Amorphous aluminophosphates nanoparticles with diameter sizes from 23 to 30 nm were used for the adsorption of lead ions (Pb2+) in aqueous solutions. The materials were biosynthesized using Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a biological template. Adsorption studies were conducted using the batch method, employing 100 mg of the solid and 200 µg L-1 of lead ions. The quantitative determination of Pb2+ was carried out by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS). The percentage of removal (EF), adsorption capacity qe (µg g-1) and removal coefficient Kd (mL g-1) averaged 40, 90 and 800, respectively. The results showed the potential of these materials for the adsorption of Pb2+ ions, and that these materials are good candidates for use in the remediation of contaminated water.
