Summary
This study reveals how manipulating processing times in Canadian refugee claims acts as a migration control technology. Delays and procedural changes are used to restrict access for unwanted migrants.
Area of Science:
- Sociology
- Political Science
- Migration Studies
Background:
- Migration control is a complex issue involving state policies and procedures.
- Understanding the mechanisms of migration regulation is crucial for policy analysis.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the role of temporality in migration control.
- To analyze how refugee claim processing in Canada utilizes time as a regulatory technology.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of organizational reports, commissioned studies, media reports, interviews, and archival data.
- Examination of procedural temporalities within Canadian migration regulation.
Main Results:
- Time is identified as a key technology in state-controlled migration regulation.
- Temporal technologies have historically controlled migrant access and civil servant labor.
- Procedural timing has been manipulated to support increasing restrictionism in Canadian migration policies.
Conclusions:
- Migration regulation regimes employ temporal technologies to obstruct, deter, or delay rights access for specific migrant groups.
- These temporal strategies aim to reduce the costs associated with migration control.

Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.

01:09Truncation in Survival Analysis
340
Truncation in survival analysis refers to the exclusion of individuals or events from the dataset based on specific criteria related to the time of the event. This exclusion can happen in two primary forms: left truncation and right truncation.
Left truncation occurs when individuals who experienced the event of interest before a certain time are not included in the study. This is often due to a "delayed entry" into the study where only those who survive until a certain entry point are...

Information is everywhere and its presentation—such as how and when items are presented—can impact our perceptions and decisions surrounding the info. This broad concept umbrellas framing effects—influences that occur due to the way information is framed in its appearance, whether it’s purely the order or the specific wording of a message. Let’s take a look at numerous ways in which two versions of something can objectively say the same thing, yet we respond in...

LTR retrotransposons are class I transposable elements with long terminal repeats flanking an internal coding region. These elements are less abundant in mammals compared to other class I transposable elements. About 8 percent of human genomic DNA comprises LTR retrotransposons. Some of the common examples of LTR retrotransposons are Ty elements in yeast and Copia elements in Drosophila.

Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is essential for risk identification, action prioritization, and resource optimization in critical situations like flooding and earthquakes. By integrating spatial and demographic data, GIS provides a comprehensive framework for emergency response.GIS integrates data layers, like rainfall intensity, topography, elevation profiles, and river levels, to model high-risk flood zones. These layers assess areas susceptible to flooding based on their...
