TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the relationship between participation in ISM at the Bachelor and Master level and graduates' wages and the duration of education-to-work transitions, and investigate variations in the labour market outcomes according to the type of mobility: study, internships or combinations of both.
Abstract: Over the last decades, there has been increasing interest in the topic of international student mobility (ISM). However, there is surprisingly little analysis of the ways in which different characteristics and types of short-term ISM or the importance of host education systems and labour markets may affect early career outcomes of formerly mobile graduates. Therefore, in this study we explore, first, the relationship between participation in ISM at the Bachelor and Master level and graduates’ wages and the duration of education-to-work transitions. Second, we investigate variations in ISM’s labour market outcomes according to the type of mobility: study, internships, or combinations of both. Third, we examine the relationship between labour market outcomes of formerly mobile students and the country of destination’s position in higher education international prestige hierarchies and labour market competitiveness. We use the Dutch National Alumni Survey 2015, a representative survey of higher education graduates in the Netherlands, conducted 1.5 years after graduation. Before controlling for selection into ISM, the results suggest the existence of labour market returns to ISM and that the heterogeneity of ISM experiences matters, as labour market outcomes vary according to the level of study, the type of mobility and the positioning of the country of destination in international prestige hierarchies. However, after controlling for selection into ISM through propensity score matching, the differences in early career outcomes between formerly mobile and non-mobile graduates disappear, suggesting that they cannot be causally attributed to their ISM-experience. We explain these results with reference to the characteristics of the Dutch education system and labour market, where restricted possibilities for upward vertical mobility limit returns to ISM in the local labour market.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that juridical tools, such as the network contract within the Alpine farming system, can emplace migrants and enhance their social mobility, and question the extent to which mobility can affect the multiple and varying migration projects.
Abstract: ABSTRACT In the past twenty years a renewed trend of migration has flown into the Italian Alps, inverting the out-migration trend. New mountain dwellers, a heterogeneous population ranging from former urban residents who chose to inhabit highlands, to asylum seekers forced into a highland life while waiting for their documents, have adjusted to the socio-ecological environment which imposes mobility. The contribution analyses in the first place the twofold mobility of the mountain dwellers, vertical in altitude and latitude, and stresses, on the side, the inequalities and exploitation at the basis of the latitudinal mobility and, on the other hand, the mobility power and capital migrants agentively play in such regime of mobility. Questioning the extent to which mobility can affect the multiple and varying migration projects, the contribution argues that juridical tools, such as the network contract within the Alpine farming system, can emplace migrants and enhance their social mobility.

TL;DR: This paper addresses existing gaps in operational vertical response utilizing a context-specific approach similar to the authors of the original Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) project published in the 1996 supplement of Military Medicine.
Abstract: Environmental hazards have an unrecognized and unmet influence on operations. The mistranslation of vertical access and rescue customs and practices, to an environment with uncertain and unrecognizable hazards, can lead to catastrophic failure. Application of these customs and practices to meet the complex operational constraints and environmental hazards central to high-hazard mission sets, has persisted and confused operational vertical rescue teams. Improvised approaches, using minimal but readily available equipment, can close gaps between theory and practice and between discrete concepts in a continuously evolving environment. This paper addresses existing gaps in operational vertical response utilizing a context-specific approach similar to the authors of the original Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) project published in the 1996 supplement of Military Medicine (Butler FK, 1996). A pragmatic framework is introduced, which has been evolving for the past 10 years within USSOCOM, Federal special operations teams, and municipal special response elements termed Operational Vertical Mobility (OVM). Operational Vertical Mobility (OVM) creates an adaptable model within high-hazard vertical response in the same manner that TCCC disrupted prehospital tactical medicine (Butler FK Jr, 2007). Since normative traditional civilian vertical practices do not translate well into the context of a Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous, Threat containing, and Time-compressed (VUCA-T2) environment, OVM reframes vertical response key performance parameters (KPP’s) in opposition to traditional design principles. OVM promotes creating theories out of practice rather than forcing theories into practice. In order to appraise the key performance parameters of verticality within a VUCA-T2 environment, a panel of practitioners with expertise across multiple vertical disciplines and specialized units analyzed relevant guidelines, principles, industry recommendations, nonlinear sciences, and high reliability organizational characteristics for successful operational application.
