This research explains why individuals resume using social networking sites (SNSs) after terminating their use. Drawing on return migration theory, we developed a theory-driven model of SNS resumption that includes two novel antecedents behavior: nonuse-related dissatisfaction and use-related satisfaction. We also hypothesize dispositional resistance to change moderates the impact satisfaction ...

Afterwards, the Hague Program also endorsed the idea of a common European migration policy based on the study of migratory phenomena, acknowledging the relevance of legal migration, integration of third country nationals, migratory flows management, inclusion of biometrical data and visa policies, the fight against illegal immigration, return and readmission policies and partnerships with third...

BACKGROUND Migration of health workers from Africa continues to undermine the universal provision of quality health care. South Africa is an epicentre for migration--it exports more health workers to high-income countries than any other African country and imports health workers from its lower-income neighbours to fill the gap. Although an inter-governmental agreement in 2003 reduced the very h...

Although international migration has received significant attention in the literature, this is usually in respect of development and remittances. Methodological issues on the subject are very scarce more so relative to the interface of kinship and international return migration. Yet methodological issues remain crucial to useful understanding of the processes and dynamics of the problem. This a...

This paper explores the extent to which temporary Mexican migrants upgrade their skills while working in the United States. In contrast to Lacuesta (2006), we find that labor market performance in Mexico is positively related to one’s accumulated migration experience in the United States. Self-selection of high-skilled individuals into migration does not drive this result. Surprisingly, while w...

OBJECTIVE To describe the health status and access to care of forced-return Mexican migrants deported through the Mexico-United States border and to compare it with the situation of voluntary-return migrants. METHODS Secondary data analysis from the Survey on Migration in Mexico's Northern Border from 2012. This is a continuous survey, designed to describe migration flows between Mexico and the...

We study an epidemic propagation between M population centra. The novelty of the model is in analyzing the migration of host (remaining in the same centre) and guest (migrated to another centre) populations separately. Even in the simplest case M = 2, this modification is justified because it gives a more realistic description of migration processes. This becomes evident in a purely migration m...

We estimate the impact of international migration on contraceptive choice and pregnancy health of women in Mexico. We find that women belonging to migrant families have higher propensity to use contraceptive pills and condoms, lower pregnancy complications, higher probability of getting prenatal care and are more likely to get pregnancy check ups from a medical professional. We use historic sta...

Process or object migration is a usefull technique for load balancing and dynamic reconnguration. This paper presents a new algorithm to preserve communication links in case of migration. The migration cost is higher than in existing algorithms but, in return, it leaves no residual dependencies and does not add any performance overhead over synchronous, asynchronous and stream-based communicati...
