The article presents a theoretical and empirical analysis of the development of migration processes in the Eurasian space, in the regional aspect. Muslim migrants make up a significant part of the migration flows of Eurasia. Their inclusion in the multicultural environment of the region carries a high proportion of risks both for the migrants themselves and for the host population. The article presents a theoretical understanding of the phenomenon of migration in the socio-cultural space of the region, based on the concept of ressentiment. The experience of developing a methodology for predicting the risks of adaptation of migrants, on the example of complex regional studies.

Paul Eluard

The paper discusses the personal and political relations between the French surrealist poet Paul Éluard and Serbian writers and intellectuals, first of all Marko Ristić, a theorist and one of the founders of the Serbian surrealist movement. We will show the reception of Éluard’s works in the Serbian cultural space, his visit to Yugoslavia, then Éluard’s activities in Paris related to Yugoslav politics. One significant part of the article represents, until now, unpublished archival documents that testify to the friendship between Éluard and Ristić. We will try to explain how this friendship ended after the Cominform Resolution in 1948 and what consequences it had on Serbian and French culture.

European Migration

This paper examines how herd behavior (mimetism) and network effects determine bilateral migration flows to thirteen EU-15 countries. Using an adapted gravity model controlling for economic activity, welfare progressivity, as well as geospatial and historic relationships, the results force us to question our explanations for migration flows. Herd behavior positively influences European migration flows, whereas network complementarities in the receiving country do not consistently predict, and may in some cases reduce, the likelihood of immigrant inflows. Moreover, economic activity, particularly labor market conditions, plays a lesser role in the migrants’ choice of destination than was previously thought. The introduction of herd behavior as a determinant of European Migration in our empirical analysis hopefully will change the paradigm for understanding migration.

Feminization Of Migration

Katharine M. Donato and Donna Gabaccia (2015). Gender and International Migration: From the Slavery Era to the Global Age. New York: Russell Sage Foundation.  254 Pages (paperback). (ISBN 978-0-87154-546-6)Written from the perspective of a historian and a sociologist/demographer, this book dispels the idea of the ‘feminization of migration’ that has recently taken credence in international migration studies. The feminization of migration, defined as the rise in the proportion of women in the migration flow, is generally linked to popular alarm linking it to exploitation, trafficking, the sex industry and the like. In this work, Donato and Gabaccia argue that the migration of women is not a new phenomenon, but rather, women have been a significant part of international migration flows, both free and coerced, for more than four centuries (1600-2000).

Proposed Model

This paper develops and estimates a model for the bonus-crediting mechanism in relation to with-profits policies issued by Danish life insurance and pension companies. The market for pension and life insurance savings contracts is generally highly opaque, but our proposed model explains a significant part of the variation in actual bonus distribution by Danish market participants. The main determinant of bonus policy is a measure of the degree of solvency which we construct from a unique data set that contains information compiled from several public as well as non-public sources. The data set spans the ten-year period from 1991 to 2000 and the model is estimated by way of maximum likelihood.

AbstractThe infectious period of a transmissible disease is a key factor for disease spread and persistence. Epidemic models on networks typically assume an identical average infectious period for all individuals, thus allowing an analytical treatment. This simplifying assumption is however often unrealistic, as hosts may have different infectious periods, due, for instance, to individual host-pathogen interactions or inhomogeneous access to treatment. While previous work accounted for this heterogeneity in static networks, a full theoretical understanding of the interplay of varying infectious periods and time-evolving contacts is still missing. Here we consider an SIS epidemic on a temporal network with host-specific average infectious periods, and develop an analytical framework to estimate the epidemic threshold, i.e. the critical transmissibility for disease spread in the host population. Integrating contact data for transmission with outbreak data and epidemiological estimates, we apply our framework to three real-world case studies exploring different epidemic contexts – the persistence of bovine tuberculosis in southern Italy, the spread of nosocomial infections in a hospital, and the diffusion of pandemic influenza in a school. We find that the homogeneous parameterization may cause important biases in the assessment of the epidemic risk of the host population. Our approach is also able to identify groups of hosts mostly responsible for disease diffusion who may be targeted for prevention and control, aiding public health interventions.

The socialization of persons with disabilities in the juvenile category proceeds in conditions complicated by physical and mental health problems that limit their opportunities, and, as a result, their functioning in society. As a total, they may have a passive-dependent position that will make it more difficult for them to be included in society and interfere with social inclusion. The article contains a theoretical understanding of the specifics of socialization of persons with disabilities in the juvenile period, on the basis of which the risks of this process are determined, as well as empirical data on the accessibility of socialization organizations in the Murmansk Region. The presented results show the presence of barriers in all areas of socialization of children and adolescents with disabilities and indicate the need for measures to create an inclusive environment in the leading types of their activities.

This article discusses the role of women in the life of „Russian-speaking Israel”. The author gives the names of outstanding women — writers, poets, literary critics, representatives of Russian aliyah in Israel, the seventies and nineties. Among them are: Dora Shturman, Lydia Yanovska, Nina Voronel, Elena Axelrod, Maya Kaganskaya. It turns out that women are a significant part of the cultural space of Israel and the Russian literature of emigration.

Migration Flows

The world socio-economic space is characterized by an increase in migration flows coupled with an increase in the population as a whole. Over the past decades, the main reason for population migration has been economic. In an effort to improve the quality of life for their own and their families, migrants move to territories other than their usual place of residence, carrying with them their own culture, their worldview, their views on life and society. In this regard, it is important to define the key theoretical understanding of migration flows, revealing the scientific and practical significance for modern estimates of migration.

Cultural Genesis

Theoretical understanding of the role of ethnic tradi-tions in the ethnic identity formation, the organiza-tion of cultural space, the development of a meth-odology for their study in various socio-cultural conditions are of particular relevance in modern society. The processes of glocalization, regionaliza-tion of cultural space are aimed at preserving the uniqueness of ethnic cultures through the study and promotion of the best national traditions in ma-terial and spiritual culture. The purpose of this study is to determine the role of ethnic traditions in the cultural genesis of the peoples of the North Cauca-sus. The following tasks are being solved: the study of ethnic traditions as a mechanism for transferring socio-cultural experience in various historical and cultural conditions, as well as the study of the re-gional cultural space in the context of the communi-cative functions of ethnic culture. The scientific novelty of the study is provided due to the method-ology of historical cultural studies, which explores both macrodynamic historical and cultural process-es and core microdynamic stages of cultural for-mation.
