Fig. 1 The development of migrant aspirations over time as a set of mutual influences: key factors emerging from migrants' biographic narratives.
The focus of my analysis, as a result, is less on the influence of respondents' national, ethnic or family backgrounds, than on a different question: the evolution of their aspirations over time, as they interact with their processes of local integration and transnational engagement.
"People change over time.
A very strong effect is found for gender, indicating a highlysignificant 'gender gap' in changes in aspiration gaps over time with menreporting larger increases in aspiration gaps between 2000 and 2007 than women.Further, we can see that ambitions are significantly higher for younger age cohorts,which holds similarly for migrants and non-migrants.
How and why migrant aspirations are transformed over time, and how different kinds of aspirations impinge on their life trajectories, are questions that generate fruitful insights for migration studies.
Migration may then result in a way of curtailing aspirations, rather than nourishing them over time.
Moreover, a comparison along similar lines should address what seems to be a widespread research finding: the modest "net causal efficacy" of ambitions and aspirations on individual life achievements over time, compared with major structural, relational and situational factors, including the main "contingencies" in the life course (Spenner & Featherman, 1978, p. 408).
Oropharyngeal decontamination by oral paste might influence Candida colonisation in the lower respiratory tract over time by aspiration of topically applied amphotericin in the oropharynx.
By attracting more local medical students, it supported KHCC's aspiration to be self-sustaining over time, as regards medical manpower, and to have a broader impact on the region by increasing the number of highly trained physicians.
I don't have any Pol Pot-style aspirations to move people around, but over time I think it will become clear that many more of us will need to be feeding ourselves.
Over time, however, that aspiration has been whittled to a dangerously limited and naive ideal of digital culture as a mirror of the autonomous "I": my music downloads, my videos, my blog posts, my vacation photos, my selfies, My Self.
