The United Kingdom allowed workers from the ten new European Union member countries immediate access to its labor market after the accession in 2004. This paper uses a general equilibrium framework to explore the dynamic adjustment of the UK economy to the postaccession surge in immigration. Simulations show that immigration is likely to have positive effects on economic growth, capital accumulation, consumption, and the public finances

This article uses an evocative autoethnographic approach to explore the experience of being an insider-researcher in a community-based participatory research setting. Taking a holistic perspective and using the form of narrative story-telling, I examine the dynamics between the typically marginalizing (but sometimes empowering) experience of being an autistic woman and the typically privileging (but sometimes oppressive) experience of being an engineering professional, during a time of career upheaval. Themes of motivations and mentors, adversity from social services and the academy, belonging, the slipperiness of intersectional positioning, feedback cycles of opportunity, dichotomies of competence and inadequacy, heightened stakes, and power and resistance are explored through the narrative. While primarily leaving the narrative to speak for itself per the qualitative approach taken, the article concludes with a discussion of how the personal experiences described relate both to the broader work of insider-researchers within disability-related fields, and to misconceptions about self-reflection and capacity for story-telling in individuals on the autism spectrum.

Although rural populations continue to suffer a lack of attention from many historians, an examination of the province of Bologna during the early nineteenth century reveals that this is a mistake. As a substantial literature now shows for the case of France, peasants were not simply ignorant in their political actions during nineteenth-century revolutions. This article suggests that rural populations could also be more sophisticated in terms of labour developments than urban-focused historians generally allow. Rice cultivation began dramatically to alter the Bolognese plains during the Revolutionary era, and the rural labouring population responded in two phases. The first, during the Restoration, was a battle against ricefields altogether: in 1816 and 1817 several communities attacked and destroyed ricefieldsin what might be considered an agricultural equivalent of machine-breaking. By the second phase, during the 1840s and 1850s, ricefield workers were engaging in full-blown strikes, several years before the province's urban labourers made that transition. The evidence of the province of Bologna thus suggests that the urban path to working-class formation must be viewed within the context of rural labour as well.

Suggests that rural populations could be as or more sophisticated in terms of labor developments than urban counterparts, offering the example of early-19th-century peasant responses to change wrought by Bolognese rice cultivation. (1) In 1817/17 rice cultivation was attacked in a rural equivalent of machine breaking. (2) In the 1840s-1850s, ricefield workers engaged in full-blown strikes far in advance of urban laborers. Evidence implies that urban working-class formation must account for rural labor. Adapted from the source document.

The purpose of this study is to examine the within‐ and cross‐domain influences of work and family domain stressors and support on two forms of work–family conflict (i.e. WIF: work interference with family, and FIW: family interference with work). To test our hypotheses, we collected multi‐source data from 248 Hong Kong employees and their spouses. Among the proposed work domain antecedents of WIF, time commitment and work role expectation were significant. Among the proposed family domain antecedents of FIW, parental demands were significant. Direct cross‐domain effects included family role expectation and parental demand on WIF and work role expectation and family‐friendly policies on FIW. Tests of the moderating effects of work and family support resulted in support for both within‐domain and cross‐domain interactions. Implications for researchers and human resource managers are discussed.

Las Relaciones Geográficas del Perú se encuentran publicadas en la Biblioteca de Amores Españoles, Vol. 183, 184 y 185 Tomo 1 a 3, con una introducción de Juan de Ovando, visitador del Consejo de Indias, al arzobispo de Los Reyes sobre los puntos que debía informar para los fines de su visita de 1570. Si comparamos esta versión con la que circuló en la Nueva España, vemos que la del Perú fue más concisa en el número de tópicos, lo que es lamentable dado que se ha perdido mucha información de algunos temas que nos interesan como es la minería prehispánica. Sin embargo, trataremos de revisar la información que se presenta sobre minas y trataremos de ver si es posible diferenciar, al menos si no en su totalidad en los casos que resulta posible, cuáles de ellas estaban en producción en época anterior a la conquista.
