Economical migration and remittances are two phenomena characteristic to transition economies, such as Republic of Moldova. Is very important to get to know these phenomena in every little detail, ...because it affects more and more the social and economical life of the country. The methodology used now by the National Bank of Moldova to estimate the remittances is not perfect, because of the lack of information about remittances that came into our country by unofficial ways, but still it corresponds best to the actual situation in the country. Needs the methodology to be reviewed or not? It is a difficult question. To give an answer to this question, first we must study very well national market and the experience of the other countries in the field.

Od ukupnog broja od 3,682.826 stanovnika starog 15 i više godina koje je prema popisu iz 2001 godine popisano u Hrvatskoj 254.500 se nalazi na privremenom radu u inozemstvu (6,9%). Još je veći ...problem od toga što 31.526 stanovnika na radu u inozemstvu (12,38% od ukupnog broja radnika) ima višu ili visoku školsku spremu, što je značajno više nego što je udjel tih djelatnika u ukupnoj populaciji (8,01%). Drugim riječima, Hrvatska, kao srednje razvijena zemlja stvara obrazovni kadar za visoko razvijene zemlje, što je jedan od generatora produbljivanja njezine nerazvijenosti.
Ako se u analizu ide detaljnije, vidjet će se kako je Hrvatska ne samo obrazovni „eldorado „ visoko razvijenih zemalja, već i njihov jako veliki opskrbljivač znanstvenim radnicima, što se u sociologiji znanosti zove „Brain-drain“. Naime, jako veliki broj ovih djelatnika ima doktorat (999) ili magisterij znanosti (1.665), što čini čak 3,2% ukupnog broja stanovnika na privremenom radu u inozemstvu, odnosno 1/7 hrvatskih doktora i magistara znanosti. Analiza pokazuje u kojim su zemljama zaposleni ti hrvatski doktori znanosti (najviše u Sjevernoj Americi i Europi), kakve su njihove temeljne socijalne i demografske karakteristike (ima dva puta više muškaraca nego žena) i koji su temeljni uzroci ovoga hrvatskog „brain-draina“ (loši uvjeti rada na fakultetima, niska osobna primanja, velike studijske grupe i sl.).
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship among the clinical and laboratory signs in response to insulin resistance evaluated by a homeostasis model (HOMA-IR) in Japanese ...non-obbbbese men working abroad. A significantly positive correlation was observed between body mass index (BMI) and HOMA-IR values in the normal weight (r=0.34; p<0.0001) and the obese group (r=0.52; p<0.0001), but not in the lean group (r=0.16; p=0.28) . There was a significantly positive correlation between fasting plasma glucose values and HOMA-IR in three groups. Plasma alanine transferase (ALT), γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (γ-GPT) and Cholinesterase (Ch-E) values were significantly lower in the lean group than those in other groups; ALT: 18.7, 24.2, 42.3 IU/l; γ-GTP: 36.0, 51.0, 74.3 IU/l; Ch-E: 268, 310, 353 IU/l, respectively. There was a significantly positive correlation between HOMA-IR and plasma ALT or Ch-E values in three groups, but other liver functions values were not correlated with HOMA-IR in three groups. These data indicated that insulin resistance was present in almost all men with fatty liver, and insulin resistance was never associated with obesity, hyperdyslipemia in the non-obese men, and the mechanism for underlying insulin resistance in the non-obese men might be different from that in the obese men.

Provider: - Institution: - Data provided by Europeana Collections- While I was a student I spent a long four month summer living in England in 2006. I was 22. Me and four friends from college had ...sublet a flat in the East End, between Mile End and Bow. We had sublet it from a couple who had sublet it from some Turkish guys who were renting it from a man called Mr. Patel. He was pretty surprised when he turned up one day to find four girls living there!
initially got a job in a bar called the Riverside in Vauxhall as a waitress, but then moved on to a job in the Noel Coward Theatre in the West End. I worked front of house, and then moved on to bar work. The staff were from all over the world, many of them first or second generation immigrants from Ghana, Nigeria, Turkey, Poland, Brazil. Working in the bar was hectic. There'd be an intense rush for service before the show and during the interval and if a queue formed at any time you were in danger of being transferred off the bar. The most popular drink was definitely gin and tonic, with many people buying triple measures - we're not allowed sell those in Dublin!
The best part of working in the theatre was being able to watch the shows. Avenue Q was playing in the Noel Coward Theatre and Stephen Sondheim's Sunday in the Park with George was playing in its sister theatre, Wyndham's. Sometimes the staff would switch over if needed, so I got to see both a number of times. Work was easily accessible from Mile End tube station, but sometimes I would make the 40 minute walk from East End to West End just to soak up the atmosphere of London on a summer's evening.
The staff canteen had a door onto the roof so when I would get into work early I would lie out there and read books of Irish poetry I had borrowed from the local library in Mile End (or 'Idea Stores' as they were called). It was a beautiful summer and the buzz in the West End was amazing. You could feel the energy floating up from the busy streets below.
My object is a Joy Division Tshirt I bought at an Urban Outfitters in the West End with my first pay packet from the theatre. Probably mass produced, but really comfortable and I still wear it when I'm exercising.
In September, I had to make the decision whether to go back and do my final year in college. I was tempted to stay in London and see if I could transfer to a university there, but it wasn't a realistic plan and I kind of knew that at the time. I happily went back home to finish college but I'll always love London.- All metadata published by Europeana are available free of restriction under the Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal Public Domain Dedication.
