This presentation provides an introduction to migrant health and its importance in the global health context. We’ll look at the key concepts of migration and ethnicity and how they are related to health. Furthermore we’ll look at how barriers may arise in access to health care for migrants, and finally we’ll provide examples from a Scandinavian context on differences in health between migrants and ethnic Danes.

This introductory survey course is intended to develop an understanding of key issues and dilemmas of planning in non-Western countries. The issues covered by the course include state intervention, governance, law and institutions in development, privatization, participatory planning, decentralization, poverty, urban-rural linkages, corruption and civil service reform, trade and outsourcing and labor standards, post-conflict development and the role of aid in development.

Students will use tables and visualizations of data about geographic mobility to explore rates and patterns of migration within, and immigration to, the United States. Using Census Bureau data tools, students will learn about past reasons for migration and immigration and understand the internal and external stresses of fluctuations in population.

Scientists rely on Citizen Scientists to track the migration of the monarch butterflies as they journey north from Mexico and back again. This amazing pollinator begins its fall migration from August to November and spring migration from March to June. Students can follow migration news, see the real-time mapping of the butterfly's movements, and report their own sightings with this amazing project from the University of Wisconsin - Madison Arboretum.

"Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related death in the world. Understanding the associated mechanisms is critical to the development of strategies to treat patients with colorectal cancer. Emerging evidence suggests that LOXL1, a lysyl oxidase, is a promising drug candidate for its effects on malignant cancer progression. Now, a molecular-level study could indicate why. Researchers examined the effects of LOXL1 on tumorigenicity and metastasis ability in lab-grown colorectal tumor cells and mouse xenografts. In vitro, LOXL1 overexpression dramatically reduced migration, invasion, and colony formation. In mice, LOXL1 overexpression drastically inhibited metastatic progression and tumor growth. Further experiments showed that LOXL1 exerted its effects by inhibiting the transcriptional activity of Yes-associated protein (YAP). by interacting with MST1/2 and increasing the phosphorylation of MST1/2 thereby activating the Hippo signaling pathway..."

"Lyme disease in humans and other vertebrates is caused by _Borrelia burgdorferi_. This spirochete pathogen lives in the midgut of ticks and migrates to their salivary glands to be transmitted to vertebrate hosts. But the midgut contains other bacterial species, many of which are symbionts of the tick, and how this microbiome impacts spirochete migration remains unclear. So, a recent study examined this interaction in the blacklegged tick, the predominant transmitter of _B. burgdorferi_ in the US. However, changes to the midgut microbiome composition via external exposure to other bacteria did not impact _B. burgdorferi_ migration or its transmission to mice. Within 24 to 48 hours of the onset of tick feeding, _B. burgdorferi _(B) are in the cells at the border of the midgut, ready to exit..."

"Glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive cancer in the brain or spinal cord, is a devastating diagnosis. Although therapies exist, GBM has a poor prognosis, with a median survival of only 14-15 months after diagnosis. Key to its aggressiveness is the degree to which migrating GBM cells infiltrate adjacent brain tissue. GBM cells express the protein MACC1, which is a marker of metastasis and tumor cell migration. Unfortunately, how GBM cells learn to migrate is unclear. A recent study used live-cell and atomic force microscopy to evaluate cell migration and mechanical properties of GBM cells overexpressing MACC1. The results showed that MACC1 increased the migratory speed and elasticity of GBM cells while it decreased cell-cell adhesion and inhibited aggregation. MACC1-overexpressing cells also had specific increases in protrusive actin, allowing the cells to adhere to laminin..."

"Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is one of the most common cancers in the United States. The most frequent form of RCC, clear cell RCC (ccRCC), is particularly aggressive with high mortality. Thus, there is an urgent need for prognostic tools and treatments. The protein Integrin β4 (ITGB4) plays important roles in other malignancies, but its role in ccRCC is not well documented. A recent study confirmed that ITGB4 was significantly overexpressed in ccRCC tissues and that high levels predicted metastasis and a poor prognosis. ITGB4 stimulated cell migration and invasion in benchtop experiments and metastasis in a mouse model. Another protein, methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14), accelerated the degradation of ITGB4 mRNA, ultimately reducing ITGB4's expression. METTL14 did this by facilitating the addition of a methyl group to an adenosine on the end of ITGB4 mRNA. The modified ITGB4 mRNA is then bound by YTH domain family protein 2 (YTHDF2), which promotes the decay of the mRNA..."

The aim of this manual is to train the participants to become intercultural coaches in their own territory by having acquired the necessary basics. An intercultural guide is a person, who has a personal sensitivity to the theme of migration, most of the time based on his or her own experience and who proposes to third parties, tourists, citizens, to discover a district, a city through his or her own eyes and his or her own history. The content of this manual aims, in the form of evening classes, to offer, in all the territories of the large European urban cities and even elsewhere, the acquisition of the essential notions allowing the conception of such intercultural urban itineraries. Four training modules, each consisting of three units, are proposed and presented in the form of a slide show. The training units are structured around Key Concepts, definitions and explanations, examples and elements of conclusions.The training modules consist of:● Module 1 - Know your territory and identify tourism stakeholders● Module 2 - Design intercultural tourist routes● Module 3 - Conduct intercultural tourist routes● Module 4 - Present your project All modules are also available in 6 languages on : https://citiesbyheart.aeva.eu/index.php/portfolios/io2/

"Melanoma is a dangerous skin cancer that can quickly become resistant to treatment, in part through interactions between cancer cells and their surroundings. For example, melanoma cells can secrete factors that activate fibroblasts in the tumor microenvironment, and the resulting cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) facilitate cancer progression. However, the exact interactions between melanoma cells and CAFs remain unclear. To learn more, researchers recently cultured normal human fibroblasts with melanoma cells or melanoma-secreted proteins in vitro. They confirmed that the normal fibroblasts became CAFs with enhanced migration, invasion, and matrix protein degradation abilities, which are properties that facilitate cancer progression. The levels of immune molecules called cytokines and proteins related to blood vessel formation were also upregulated in the CAFs, and secretion of lactate, a common end product of cancer cell metabolism, was increased..."

This book was created as an open educational resource in the course Philosophy beyond Academia at the University of Groningen in 2023. Except for this introduction and the chapter Martin Buber’s I-It versus I-You Distinction, all of the chapters have been created by students of the MA Philosophy Programme of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Groningen.

About the book:
Migration has been part of human history for as long as we can remember. The geographic movements of large groups of people have shaped human history, and also individuals have moved from one place to another in search of a better life. Migration has also been investigated from a philosophical perspective. In particular, immigration has been considered philosophically from the perspective of political philosophy and ethics. Next to various arguments for open and closed borders, there has also been work looking at more applied questions.

The approach of the present collection of articles on the philosophy of migration has been guided by a concern for philosophical methodology. This book explores the application of both philosophical methods and philosophical tools to the topic of migration. The aim is on the one hand to demonstrate what these tools and methods are and how they can be applied, and on the other hand to demonstrate how rich the topic of migration is from a philosophical perspective.

Since the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the beginning of the war in Donbas, Eastern Europe has been facing a migration crisis. Several million Ukrainians are internally displaced or have fled the country and now face an uncertain future. At the same time, Western-imposed sanctions and the creation of the Eurasian Economic Union have affected Russia’s migration policies. These largely ignored processes have a potential to change the social landscape of the region for many years to come. The aim of this collection is to shed light on the forgotten migrant crisis at the European Union’s doorstep and make sense of the various migration processes in and out of Ukraine and Russia. The book is divided into two sections. The first section deals with migration processes that have taken place within Ukraine or have involved Ukrainian citizens’ migration out of the country, excluding Russia. The second section discusses Russia’s response to the rapid inflow of migrants from Ukraine, its changing migration policies and their effect on migrants, as well as other processes related to the phenomenon over the course of the Ukraine crisis.
