Young Immigrants

I approached the creation of these four graphics as a convergence of the skills and knowledge that I brought from my home country, the Philippines, and those that I have acquired in Canada. Combining abstract mathematics and visual art, I used concepts from graph theory, group theory, and probability theory to show a pictorial flow comparing the muddled situation in which young immigrants to Canada find themselves to the “optimal” albeit assimilated situation of those who have had time to settle (in multiple senses) into their new lives.

The Creation

People have always looked for the best opportunities for life and for a variety of reasons there has been migration from country to country. The aim of the study is to find out, through questionnaires and interviews, the reasons for people leaving and the creation of support that would encourage returns. 23 respondents were surveyed, who answered 87 questions. Emigrants were interviewed using email lists to find out what people expected from their country, what differences they see in their home country and in their country of origin. The reasons for leaving are mentioned is credit, debt, marriage with foreigner and many other reasons. Career guidance for remigrants have the task to help them to find a job that is consistent with their abilities and interests and helping to build a successful career.

The Creation

Studies on immigrant entrepreneurship have focused on some groups of immigrants according their ethnicity and citizenship. Nonetheless, there is a configuration of immigrants inside Spain that has been neglected in research arenas. This study analyzes which factors at individual level influence the creation of businesses by EU and non-EU immigrants. Factors acquired in home and host country are considered. Hypotheses are tested using multivariate analysis. Employing data from the National Immigrant Survey of Spain – ENI-2007, the findings showed immigrants who owned or managed a business in their home country have higher probability to create a business. Among factors acquired in Spain, the experience in occupation was the more relevant for EU immigrants. However, the experience in construction sector was significant for non-EU immigrants. Furthermore, the exposure to Spanish context and social contacts were significant, increasing the probability of creating a business by non-EU immigrants in Spain.

Theoretical Results

Pearl’s conditioning method is one of the basic algorithms of Bayesian inference, and the loop cutset is crucial for the implementation of conditioning. There are many numerical algorithms for solving the loop cutset, but theoretical research on the characteristics of the loop cutset is lacking. In this paper, theoretical insights into the size and node probability of the loop cutset are obtained based on graph theory and probability theory. It is proven that when the loop cutset in a p-complete graph has a size of p − 2 , the upper bound of the size can be determined by the number of nodes. Furthermore, the probability that a node belongs to the loop cutset is proven to be positively correlated with its degree. Numerical simulations show that the application of the theoretical results can facilitate the prediction and verification of the loop cutset problem. This work is helpful in evaluating the performance of Bayesian networks.

Originally performed in Vancouver, the testimonial play Nanay was developed to address the politics and hard ethical dilemmas of caregivers and migrant labor in Canada. When moved from Vancouver to the Philippines, the play was considerably revised with input from the community to consider the problems facing Filipino live-in caregivers from within the context of their home country.

Purpose – This paper aims to synthesize the literature on embeddedness of MNE subsidiaries, rethinking the concept of “multiple embeddedness” in order to clarify the importance of the subsidiary-specific advantages. Design/methodology/approach – A new and innovative framework based on four key relationships: home country-specific advantages (CSAs)-Headquarters (HQ); HQ-subsidiary; subsidiary-host CSAs; and subsidiary-HQ. This framework is used to discuss the complex phenomenon of “multiple embeddedness”. Findings – The framework proposed sheds light on the subsidiary's need to develop and sustain over time its subsidiary-specific advantages (SSAs) and, where possible, to “upgrade” these SSAs and to integrate them across the entire network of the MNE. The framework is based on two pillars. The first one is the “creation and development” of firm-specific advantages (FSAs) (in the home country) and SSAs (in the host country); the second one is the “transfer” of these advantages from the parent to the subsidiary and vice versa. In addition, several interesting interrelations are found between the four main relationships, and the central role of the recombination capabilities and the importance of distance are highlighted. Originality/value – This paper is one of the first to develop a framework incorporating all the relevant relationships in multiple embeddedness. The framework is innovative and “embeddedness” is analyzed in a novel way, as many studies only partially analyze this complex phenomenon and neglect one or more of these relationships.

The Way

Abstract There is a need to reformulate the way in which we view international relations. Rather than simply a play at an obscure theater with the same characters reprising their respective roles based on an old script, international relations need to be seen as a play at the world stage whose script is always being reviewed, revised, rewritten, and renegotiated by characters who are actively searching for ways to be accommodated. In this way, the characters and the roles they play are provisional: they become who or what they are because of actions they take, and not necessarily because they are fated to be revered or condemned. To achieve the fluid nature of this script, one must pay attention to language games. These games allow for the participation of both sides of the equation – the Philippines and the United States – in the creation of the structure and direction of their relationship.
