The Relationship

In principle, the Charter of Rights and Freedoms grants equal rights to all persons residing in Canadian territory. In practice, it is clear that some populations are more “equal” than others. Difficulties relating to the immigration process, access to services, and discrimination are but some of the forms of exclusion often confronted by minority and immigrant communities. For unaccompanied minors, their combined status as refugee claimants and as minors creates an added factor of vulnerability, referred to by one minor as the “brown paper syndrome.” Drawing on a case study of unaccompanied minors in Quebec, the present article examines the relationship between status and barriers to integration, looking more specifically at the difficulties faced by these youth in the refugee determination process and in accessing resources in the public, private, and community sectors.

Qualitative Research Methodology

El objetivo de la investigación fue conocer los hábitos deportivos y de alimentación de todos los Menores Extranjeros No Acompañados (MENAs) residentes en un centro de acogida del municipio de Gijón gestionado por la entidad ACCEM (Asociación Comisión Católica Española de Migración). Seis personas accedieron a participar. Para extraer información se utilizó una metodología de tipo cualitativo y entrevistas semi-estructuradas como técnica de recogida de datos. Los resultados muestran que, como en su país de origen, los jóvenes realizan con frecuencia actividad física en España. Algunos hábitos deportivos han sido afectados por el desconocimiento del idioma, la carga de las actividades educativas, el desconocimiento de la oferta de la zona y su coste. Los hábitos de alimentación también son similares a los de su país de origen en número de comidas y alimentos, pero han sufrido cambios por la ausencia de la familia y la divergencia socio-cultural-religiosa. El acogimiento asistencial parece haber ayudado a que sus hábitos físico-deportivos y alimenticios no hayan cambiado drásticamente.Abstract. The aim of the study was to assess physical activity and feeding habits of Foreign Unaccompanied Minors living in a shelter home in the city of Gijón managed by the non-for-profit association ACCEM (Asociación Comisión Católica Española de Migración). Six people agreed to participate. To gather information, qualitative research methodology was used. Semi-structured interviews were employed to obtain data. Results showed that participants, as in their home country, often perform physical activity. Some habits have been affected by language problems, education workload, and lack of information about the sport opportunities and costs in their residence area. Feeding habits such as number of meals and food are also similar to those in their home country, but they have also been modified by the absence of the family and the socio-cultural-religious divergence. Institutionalization seems to help avoiding sharp changes in the physical and eating habits in these minors.

Simple Sequence

Species identification is essential and necessary in the forensic sciences. This case study aims to identify animal species using unidentified bone samples found in snake feces with the use of inter-simple sequence repeat markers coupled with high resolution melting analysis (ISSR-HRM). In this case study, six ISSR primers were used and compared with lemur blood. The results of this study indicate that the derivative melting curve established from two bones and the lemur blood sample displayed a similar melting temperature. Additionally, D-loop sequencing of the bones and blood samples were checked against the GenBank database. We found that the samples belonged to a black-and-white ruffed lemur (Varecia variegata) with percent identity values of 99.54 and 99.85, respectively. Thus, ISSR-HRM has been effectively used for species identification, particularly when results can be compared with the target species.

The 1960S

AbstractUsing interviews with former militants and previously unpublished documents, this article traces the genesis and internal dynamics of the Ejército Revolucionario del Pueblo (People's Revolutionary Army, ERP) in El Salvador during the early years of its existence (1970–6). This period was marked by the inability of the ERP to maintain internal coherence or any consensus on revolutionary strategy, which led to a series of splits and internal fights over control of the organisation. The evidence marshalled in this case study sheds new light on the origins of the armed Salvadorean Left and thus contributes to a wider understanding of the processes of formation and internal dynamics of armed left-wing groups that emerged from the 1960s onwards in Latin America.

Abstract Culture shapes our basic sensory experience of the world. This is particularly striking in the study of religion and psychosis, where we and others have shown that cultural context determines both the structure and content of hallucination-like events. The cultural shaping of hallucinations may provide a rich case-study for linking cultural learning with emerging prediction-based models of perception.
