This article analyzes the process of Arab integration in Colombia through two historiographical currents: an economic one and a racial one. The importance of understanding how racial and economic categories underpinned an ideal of a modern, whitened, and economically productive citizen is highlighted. Additionally, it is mentioned that the Colombian government implemented anti-migration laws between 1920 and 1940, but they had a modest effect due to the already established Arab presence in the economic and political life of the Caribbean. The article also analyzes the relationship between race and nation in Colombia in the 19th and 20th centuries, as well as the issue of racial degeneration and the solutions proposed by intellectuals. It is emphasized that Arabs were able to integrate quickly through trade and by not being considered black, and that their economic success and adjustment to an ideal of whitened citizenship contributed to their acceptance in Colombian society.

The strategies established for HIV prevention directed at immigrant populations are diverse and not very specific about the characteristics of these groups. Objective: To analyze the concept of "primary prevention of HIV in the immigrant population". Methodology: The steps suggested by Walker and Avant were followed, so a structured review of the literature in dictionaries and databases (Embase, Pubmed and Ebsco) was carried out. Results: There is no evidence of the existence of a definition on the specific term, so a proposal is made that encompasses the strategies identified in the literature, specific in this population. Conclusions: primary prevention of HIV in migrants is identified as a great opportunity to strengthen coverage of universal access to vulnerable populations, as well as being a complex process that requires a multidisciplinary approach in structural, biomedical and behavioral areas that are developed with the axis being adaptations to cultural needs.

The main objective of this study was to establish the psychometric properties for Colombia of the Subtle and Blatant Prejudice Scale of Pettigrew and Meertens (1995) which was adapted to Spanish by Rueda and Navas (1996). Venezuelan immigrants in Colombia are the target population. The sample comprised 1078 Barranquilla residents (Atlantic) who were selected intentionally, with an age range between 18 and 78 years old (M = 34.6 and SD= 13.4), of whom 49 % (n=523) were male. Outcomes show a Cronbach's alpha (α) of .84 and an Omega (ω) of .85 for the global scale. The Subtle Prejudice subscale displays α = .74 and ω = .75, while the Blatant Prejudice subscale demonstrates α = .78 and ω = .80. Confirmatory Factor Analysis confirms the underlying factorial structure, but item 17 changes factor and item 7 is eliminated, leaving a total of 19 items. Limitations are discussed.

Based on the theoretical contribution of the Social Representations Theory, the study aimed, to identify the social representations of Brazilians, Europeans and immigrants, in addition to the meta-representations of Brazilians and immigrants made to 180 Brazilians residing in six European countries. To do this we used a semi-structured questionnaire with free association questions for the representation of objects. The results show that Brazilians consider positively the groups of immigrants and Brazilians through affection and higher social status. The meta-representations of immigrants affirm an image of undesirability of the group on the part of Europeans; and the meta-representations of Brazilians, in turn, are oriented toward meanings that objectify Brazilian women through an image of sex and prostitution. It was concluded that the social representations - in relation to the social groups analyzed - favor the discussion of the identity function related representations, by having submitted a controversial content relating to the social groups that act as a minority against a hegemonic European society.

This paper is about the representations, practices and cultural expressions carried out by groups of Bolivian immigrants and their descendants in the cities of Olavarria, Tandil and Azul in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. For this purpose, the three case studies presented are analyzed based on the theoretical notions of identities and ethnic groups proper to the field of social anthropology. It thus seeks to contribute to knowledge about the construction of the identities of Bolivian immigrants in Argentina and, especially, to the discussion of those perspectives that propose the cultural assimilation of these groups into the host society.

Justification: Immigration in Spain is a very important phenomenon which reverberates in the field of the health. Objective: To investigate the relation between the choice of epidural anesthesia and the nationality of the women, and in turn, to observe if other factors also influence this decision. Design and Methodology: Quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study of 634 women who have given birth at the Northwestern Hospital in the Region of Murcia. The variables selected were: obstetric history, age, type of anesthesia, the nationality of women and reasons of rejection of epidural anesthesia. Results: The 8, 51% of women who have given birth in the Northwestern Hospital in the Region of Murcia in 2010 were immigrants. As for nationality, 20, 37% of women immigrants have not used any type of anesthesia. We found a significant difference with the Spanish immigrant women in which only 4, 31% rejected (P< 0,001). In relation to abortions, women who do not prefer any anesthesia are those who do have abortions (P<0, 05). Younger ages for women, 16 to 25 years, is associated with no use of epidural anesthesia (P<0, 05). Conclusion: Immigrant women make less use of epidural anesthesia. It is a challenge for nurses to learn the different cultures and to carry out work in an increasingly multicultural society. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The changes in demographic, economic, socio-cultural and health foster the emergence of a new set of caregivers: the hired caregiver, covered generally by immigrant women. This article is a study that aims to inquire into this new reality, focusing mainly on knowing the experiences and emotions of immigrant carers in relation to people and their environment maintained. The study, a qualitative research, collected through direct testimony of caregivers, which is their lived experiences, that is, the stories of a difficult and complex context, where it crosses a double need for affection: on one hand, the one of those suffering bereavement of immigration, by the distancing of their own family, by the harshness and precariousness of their migrant status and on the other hand, those who in old age, beyond physical dependence, suffer from loneliness. It demonstrates the emotional and relational nature of care and the positive contributions of these immigrant women to a situation characteristic of global societies, and with aging populations.

The aim of this paper is to understand the role of physical activity and sport in the social integration of young immigrants in Almeria (Spain). The Physical Activity and Sport Acculturation Index (PASAI) was designed for this purpose, taking four dimensions into account (i.e., mixed relationships, cultural references, norms and transnationality). Data were obtained from a survey administered to the immigrant population between 14 and 24 years old. Results show that immigrants have a low level of participation in physical activity and sport. Generation and origin appear to be the main variables that predict this participation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The present paper results from a research project of wider scope, Rural Territorial Development. Territorial management in the Guatraché Department, La Pampa, which shows the findings of research carried out in the Guatraché Department, in the Province of La Pampa. The project aims at producing a panorama of the agricultural activity of this area from the beginnings of the process of colonization in 1879 -which marks the occupation of the territory after the clearing of the aborigines, coinciding with the end of the “Desert Campaign"-, until the present time –which is framed by the complexity of globalization. The province of La Pampa, at that time Territory of Central La Pampa, with its East and South East areas showing climate and soil parameters suitable for the above-mentioned activities, turned into the setting of an intense colonization sustained by various railway companies, pillars of the economic system prevailing in the Argentine Republic in late nineteenth and early twentieth century. As part of this territory, the Guatraché Department was the scenario of an important agricultural and stockbreeding activity -this being so at least until the start of severe climate crises which, along with international events (the Second World War) disrupted the model. After the former, the diversification of farming complemented with stockbreeding, where sheep were gradually replaced by cattle, characterized the activity until the nineties. At that time, a new international scenario marked by globalization, with the liberation of the markets and state decentralization, formed part of the neo-liberal politics of the times. The rural sector was also part of the process and its consequences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
