This book provides the essential information needed for formulating findings in CT of the head and spine. The book is conceived as a highly practical guide for use in routine CT diagnosis, as well as in critical on-call emergency situations.The features:- Condenses information to the core questions of the diagnostic problem at hand without oversimplifying: What does the clinician want to know? What must be included in the findings, and what differential diagnosis must be excluded?- Clear and didactic organization of information in pathogenesis, clinical findings, and CT morphology- Convenient summaries, offset by a second color, provide information to be used during the CT examination that assure that nothing will be overlooked- Detailed descriptions of normal anatomy with normal values help to differentiate pathologic from normal findings.

This review of Austria's labour migration policy is the fifth of a series conducted by the OECD Secretariat as a follow-up to the 2009 High Level Policy Forum on International Migration. The rationale for this initiative was the recent growth in labour migration observed in many countries and the likelihood that recourse to labour migration would increase in the context of demographic ageing. Prior to the 2008-09 economic crisis, many countries had made substantial changes to labour migration policies with a view to facilitating recruitment from abroad. With the introduction of these changes, more prominence was accorded to the question of their effectiveness and more broadly, to the objectives of labour migration policy in general. Although the economic crisis put a damper on labour migration movements, it did not stop them entirely, and interest in labour migration policy is unlikely to diminish in the near future. Austria has low levels of labour migration from non-EU/EFTA countries. At the same time, intra-EU free mobility has grown significantly and since 2011, overall migration for employment is above the OECD average. It recently reformed its labour migration system, making it more ready to accept labour migrants where they are needed, especially in medium-skilled occupations in which there were limited admission possibilities previously. This publication analyses the reform and the Austrian labour migration management system in international comparison.

In 2014, the EU Labour Force Survey (LFS) included 11 additional variables on migrants and their descendants to supplement the information already contained in the core EU-LFS (also known as the 2014 LFS Ad Hoc Module on the Labour market situation of migrants and their immediate descendants)1. This additional information allows notably identifying migrants by reason for migration. Although selfdeclared, this information is particularly valuable because, for the first time since 2008, it enables to analyse the characteristics and the labour market outcomes of people who have come to Europe in need of international protection and to compare them of other migrant groups. As Europe is facing an unprecedented wave of asylum seekers, many of whom are likely to be granted international protection and stay, the question of the integration of refugees is gaining central stage. Several EU Member States and other OECD countries have already taken steps to cope with this issue while others, who are less exposed or less experienced, are still in the inception phase regarding integration policies for refugees and other people in need of protection. While the 2014 Ad Hoc Module does not capture the situation of the refugees who came in 2014 and 2015, it provides important lessons from previous waves of refugees coming to the EU (i.e. those that came before 2014). It provides a unique opportunity to shed light on how refugees are faring in Europe in the medium- and long-term and to inform policy making in this area. After briefly discussing the coverage and limitations of the data source, this report looks at the main sociodemographic characteristics of refugees, their labour market outcomes and their determinants. The analysis also pays special attention to refugee women and to long-term integration through the acquisition of citizenship. The last section draws some key conclusions emerging from this analysis.
