The Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) are using chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) general service respirators (GSRs) to defend against CBRN threats and hazards to protect personnel and ensure that they can safely and successfully carry out missions. The CBRN GSR currently in use by the CAF is the C4 respirator. The National Research Council of Canada assessed the communication performance of the C4 respirator. This report presents the results of the performance test. The method for assessing the communication performance used in this study was the NIOSH standard test procedure TEB-CBRN-APR-STP-0313 [1]. Other methods exist to evaluate the communication performance of respirators, but historically the NIOSH standard test procedure has been used. This report details the implementation and results of the tests conducted at the National Research Council of Canada, following the NIOSH standard test procedure.
The paper is based on theoretical and empirical studies on migrants in Germany. Sociological and economic approaches in migration research are discussed. The theoretical focus lies on migrant’s social networks in the country of origin or country of destination. The influence of social capital on migration decision-making and the process of chain migration is outlined. The impact of location specific social capital on migration and on return migration is shown using official data on Italian migrants in Germany and survey data.
