Resettlement of China‐born immigrants in Australia: Age, duration of stay and interstate migration

Internal migration constitutes a major source of steady flow of population in India, and reports published by the World Economic Forum (WEF),1 2017 state that interstate migration in the country has doubled during 2001–2011, compared to the previous decade.2 In developing countries, such migration is often considered to be an effective way for income diversification for the economically marginalised sections of the society, even though its effect on ‘human development’ is oft debated. This article would engage with this debate and bring out how migration from the Indian part of the Sundarbans to other parts of the country is not only changing the demography of the region but is also having a strong impact on the local perception and attachment towards the deltaic landscape. By bringing in ethnographic details from a village in the Indian Sundarbans, which was predominately inhabited by the fishing community earlier, this article would bring out how traditional occupations like fishing are slowly losing their popularity in the face of the lure of out-migration, as the very identity of the ‘indigenous’ Sundarban fisher folks—who were once rightfully considered to be the true conservator of the forests—is changing. From there, this article would engage with the broader debate of rethinking whether migration can be considered as a positive indicator of development in such ecologically fragile areas like the Sundarban deltas, which used to indeed have a distinct economic, social and cultural life of its own.

The establishment, staffing and structure and observations made in the first year of the existence of coronary care in an intensive care unit in a general hospital are recorded. Two hundred and twenty eight patients were admitted during the year in whom the diagnosis of myocardial infarction was confirmed. There were 29 deaths in the unit and 14 deaths occurred in the wards of the hospital after discharge from the unit. 49.1 per cent of the patients were admitted within 4 hours of the onset of symptoms and the mean duration of stay in the unit was 86.5 hours. The type of arrhythmia detected in the unit, and the treatment given to the patients both before and after admission to the intensive care unit are described.

This article examines interstate migration and labor force participation among White, American Indian and intermarried Indian/White couples. The results show that endogamous American Indian couples are much less likely to change states of residence than are the other two groups of couples. The effect of interstate migration on labor force participation does not vary across the three groups of couples. The implications of these results for the assimilation and internal colonial models of race relations and for federal Indian policy are discussed.

Development work is a team effort. The continued presence of the same team thus can be expected to be more fruitful. A high turnover rate of officials at district and lower levels is considered detrimental to development. This has been recognized and reflected in the setting up of norms of minimum duration of stay for various categories of officers dealing with development. But what is the reality on the ground? In this article, Girja Sharan and S Narayanan look into the frequency of transfers of officials over decades in two districts of Rajasthan and quantify the data, concluding that it is statistically certain that no team of Collector, Sub-Divisional Officer, Tehsildar, and Block Development Officer, initially appointed, would work for even a period of two years. Chances are just one in five that the team would last one for year!

Groups of neonates who are usually treated at hospitals that provide specialized pediatric care are not adequately classified by the use of diagnosis-related groups (DRGs). Therefore, a set of revised DRGs, pediatric modified DRGs (PM-DRGs), have been developed. Use of PM-DRGs substantially improves the classification of neonates in the following ways: a single pediatric modified major diagnostic category has been defined to include only and all neonates (patients younger than 29 days of age when admitted to the hospital); deaths and transfers of newborns are no longer combined into a single group; birth weight (rather than diagnosis) is used as the primary variable to differentiate categories of neonates; and duration of mechanical ventilation, presence of major problems, and surgery are used to define specific PM-DRGs. A total of 46 PM-DRGs have been developed to replace the 7 DRGs for neonates. Based on a sample of discharged patients from 13 children's hospitals, the overall variance reduction in duration of stay for neonates using PM-DRGs was 38.7% compared with 20.4% for DRGs. Variance reduction for PM-DRGs was 45.9% compared with 16.3% for DRGs when operating cost per case was used instead of duration of stay. After removing outliers at 150 days, the duration of stay variance reduction was 53.3% vs 23.6%, respectively, and the operating cost variance reduction was 58.8% vs 17.8%, respectively.

Educational Migration

Analysis and consideration of current migration trends in our country, in particular mass interstate migration movements in the context of Ukraine's participation in the European and world migration space, are considered among the important factors in shaping its national policy. Educational migration is a special threat to the socio-economic development of the country and sustainable development of society, as the formation of highly qualified personnel, accumulation of intellectual capital, and increasing scientific and technological potential of the country are among the important factors of economic and social progress. Due to the intensification of interstate migration flows and the development of the quality of the higher education system in foreign educational institutions, migration for education takes a larger share, which is mostly accompanied by constant migration and departure of Ukrainian citizens for permanent residence abroad. The analysis of publications on this issue proves the urgency of educational migration research, and today it remains important to analyze trends in educational migration, find mechanisms to counter the transformation of Ukraine into a country of origin of educational migrants, as well as their repatriation. The article analyzes the educational migration processes in Ukraine in the regional context. The main regional centers of higher education are identified. The focus is on the migration intentions of the population to study abroad and a comparative description of the educational systems of different countries. The order and stages of the admission campaign in foreign educational institutions are described. The essence and features of educational migration are studied and the main reasons that help Ukrainian students to choose foreign higher education institutions are highlighted. The main causes and consequences of educational migration, as well as potential opportunities for educational migration, are identified. Certain benefits and costs associated with educational migration processes are justified. The directions of development of educational migration and effective migration system in Ukraine and its regions, which should take a worthy place in the migration policy of the state, are offered.
