The lived experiences of access to healthcare for people seeking and refused asylum [PDF]

, 2018
This research aims to explore the lived experiences of accessing healthcare among people currently seeking asylum and those who have had their claim for asylum refused, as well as the experiences of health service providers working with these communities.

Phase Engineering for Enhanced Piezoresponse in P(VDF‐TrFE) and Its Composites

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
As the temperature approaches the Curie point, the crystalline phase in P(VDF‐TrFE) decreases proportionally, while the amorphous phase increases. This shift leads to the formation of more interphase regions. Although spontaneous polarization from crystalline regions decreases, the interphase regions enable additional deformation, thereby enhancing the

Don’t Gut Political Asylum [PDF]

, 1996
For many years, the United States has granted political asylum to victims of persecution who come to our country and seek our protection. Now, however, Congress is on the verge of abolishing the right of political asylum.

Humanitarian Protection Advocacy in East Asia: Charting a Path Forward [PDF]

, 2018
In this article, I make the following three-part argument. Firstly, I claim that despite the fact that a far greater number of asylum-seekers in Japan, Korea, and Mainland China receive humanitarian protection status than receive refugee status, legal ...

Photonic Crystal Enhanced Microscopy on a 2D Photonic Crystal Surface

Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 6, March 18, 2025.
This work demonstrates the design, fabrication, and the first‐time test of a 2D photonic crystal surface for photonic resonator absorption microscopy. The designed surface uniformly enhances electromagnetic near fields, achieving > 100% improved detecting uniformity for surface‐captured AuNPs from a blocking biosensor assay aimed for detecting SARS‐CoV‐

Modulating D33 Coefficients Through In Situ AgF and Ag2O Growth in PVDF Composites for High‐Performance Piezoelectric Nanogenerators

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
In situ, nanoparticle doping enhances the piezoelectric coefficient (**d₃₃**) of PVDF to ≈12 pC/N, while in situ growth of AgF and Ag₂O dopants increases β‐phase concentration. The nanogenerator achieves a 35 V open‐circuit voltage and 1.6 µA short‐circuit current, powering 10 blue LEDs and charging a 50 nF capacitor within 10 s.

Indonesians in Asylum

Social Analysis, 2006
To speak of 'asylum' is to speak of an intense fear released upon arrival in a sheltered place of calm. With political asylum, both the fear and the subse quent calm are politicized, because the origins of fear are typically understood to be identified with a state apparatus, and the umbrella of shelter is defined by the territorial boundaries of ...

Optimizing Single‐Cell Measurement Using Dynamic Atomic Force Microscopy

Advanced Photonics Research, EarlyView.
This study optimizes optical detection sensitivity in atomic force microscopy for high‐frequency single‐cell imaging in liquid environments. By analyzing laser positioning on microcantilevers, it enhances measurement accuracy and image resolution. Advanced image analysis techniques assess quality, offering guidelines for high‐resolution imaging of ...

Report on the Workshop on Refugee and Asylum Policy in Practice in Europe and North America [PDF]

, 2000
Western nations have struggled to accomplish the dual goals of refugee and asylum policies: (1) identifying and protecting Convention refugees as well as those fleeing civil conflict; and (2) controlling for abuse.
