Singapore is a small island-nation situated at the tip of the Malay Peninsular in Southeast Asia. It existed as a British colony from 1819 to 1959, interspersed by a period of Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1945 during World War II. Throughout its colonial history, Singapore has been the recipient of extensive immigration from various parts of Asia, and the same diversity is still reflected i...

Immigration laws that militarize communities may exacerbate ethno-racial health disparities. We aimed to document the prevalence of and ways in which immigration enforcement policy and militarization of the US-Mexico border is experienced as everyday violence. Militarization is defined as the saturation of and pervasive encounters with immigration officials including local police enacting immig...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of immigration and emigration rates is crucial for understanding of population dynamics, yet little is known about these vital rates, especially for arctic songbirds. We estimated immigration in an Arctic population of northern wheatears on Baffin Island, Canada, by the use of stable hydrogen isotopes in tail feathers (δ(2)HK). We assumed that δ(2)HK values of juvenile (hat...

Immigration and House Prices in the UK This article studies the effect of immigration on house prices in the UK. It finds that immigration has a negative effect on house prices and presents evidence that this negative effect is due to the mobility response of the native population. Natives respond to immigration by moving to different areas and those who leave are at the top of the wage distrib...

In 1824, a group of German immigrants settled in Rio Grande do Sul, initiating a process of immigration that continued until World War II. The physician Daniel Hillebrand, first director of the Colony of São Leopoldo, was part of this group. During the subsequent 125 years, other German doctors emigrated to the state - some graduates of medical school, others with partial studies only. Many pla...

Some 600,000 refugees have settled in Australia since the end of World War II. Of the 12,000 people who receive humanitarian visas each year to migrate to or stay in Australia, 40 per cent settle in NSW. NSW is also home to over 2000 people released from immigration detention centres on Temporary Protection Visas, and to an uncertain number of asylum seekers who are living in the community whil...

This article presents a unique framework for analyzing the politics of immigration control in developed countries and reviews related political theories. The author describes distinctive patterns of immigration in selected OECD countries and standard explanations. The author argues that the costs and benefits of immigration are spatially unevenly distributed and explains how spatial concentra...

Do economic considerations shape attitudes toward immigration? In this article, we consider the relationship between economic interests and immigration preferences by examining how developments in individuals’ sectors of employment affect these views. Using survey data across European countries from 2002 to 2009 and employing new measures of industry-level exposure to immigration, we find that ...

we introduce a new concept of general $g$-$eta$-monotone operator generalizing the general $(h,eta)$-monotone operator cite{arvar2, arvar1}, general $h-$ monotone operator cite{xiahuang} in banach spaces, and also generalizing $g$-$eta$-monotone operator cite{zhang}, $(a, eta)$-monotone operator cite{verma2}, $a$-monotone operator cite{verma0}, $(h, eta)$-monotone operator cite{fanghuang}, $h$-...

for every rational function ƒ with poles off K. In this note it is shown that any operator for which the spectrum is a spectral set has a nontrivial invariant subspace. In [6] von Neumann introduced the notion of spectral set and showed that if T has II T\\ = 1 then the closed unit disc, D"~, is a spectral set for T. For this reason any operator whose spectrum is a spectral set is called a von ...
