<p>Föreliggande studie hade som syfte att undersöka vilken betydelse organisationen Here 4 U hade haft för sina medlemmar under skoltiden och senare i livet. I studien har kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer genomförts och tillsammans med tidigare forskning utgjorde de grunden för föreliggande studie. För djupare förståelse i den avslutande analysen har Salutogen teori och empowerment som teori använts. I studien framkom att Here 4 U hade haft stor betydelse för sina medlemmar både under skoltiden och senare i livet. Det visade sig att medlemskapet under skoltiden bidragit till ökad trygghet, bättre trivsel i skolan och känslan av att kunna påverka sin skolsituation. Detta bidrog i sin tur till ett bättre studieresultat.  Även senare i livet hade medlemskapet i Here 4 U haft betydelse för medlemmarnas sociala förankring i samhället. Det handlade bland annat om inställning till droger, kriminalitet men också ett ökat engagemang i sociala frågor.  Slutsatser från studien visade att förebyggande insatser som Here 4 U kunde fylla ett behov för ungdomar i skolan både på kort sikt och på lång sikt.  Det förbättrade inte bara trivseln och känslan av delaktighet i skolan utan kunde även bidra till förankring i samhället genom socialt engagerat beteende vilket kunde leda till ökad hälsa hos ungdomar.</p> / <p>The aim of this study was to examine what meaning the organization Here 4 U has had for the members during their school years and what influence this had later on in life. The study was based on qualitative interviews along with previous research on topics relevant for the subject. For deeper understanding of the result of the study, the theory of empowerment and the Salutogenic theory have been used. The study showed that Here 4 U did have a significant meaning for their members during and after their school years. The membership during the school years provide an increased comfort, a sense of feeling secure in school and the ability to make an impact on their school situation. All together this improved the member’s results in school. To be a member in the organization had an effect on the member’s sense of belonging and will to participate in their society even after the school years. Conclusions of the study showed that prevention efforts, like Here 4 U, could fill the needs for youths during their school years and later on in life. Further conclusions of the study showed that the youth’s engagement in the society and the feeling to contribute could increase young peoples health.</p>

Ett passivhus är ett hus som i stort sett enbart värms upp av människorna och elapparaterna som finns i huset. Särskilda krav för att få kalla huset för passivhus måste uppfyllas. Vi har gjort en enkätundersökning på tre olika passivhusprojekt för att utreda vad de boende tycker om inomhusklimatet. De utvalda projekten finns i Värnamo, Frillesås och Glumslöv. Enkätsvaren visar att de boende i Frillesås är mycket nöjda, medan mer än 50 % av dem som bor i Glumslöv tycker att det är för varmt på sommaren och för kallt på vintern. För att utreda om de olika konstruktionerna har någon inverkan på inomhusklimatet har beräkningar och simuleringar i datorprogrammen VIP+ och IDA gjorts. Resultaten från de båda programmen visar att vilken av de två konstruktionerna som valts inte bör ha någon påverkan på inomhusklimatet. / A passive house is a house that is mostly heated with energy from humans and from electric devices in the house. Special requirements need to be followed if you want to call the house a passive house.

La présente thèse traite de la description de systèmes complexes, notamment des polymères et des cuprates, par la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité. En premier lieu, la théorie de la fonctionnelle de la densité ainsi que différentes fonctionnelles utilisées pour simuler les matériaux à l’étude sont présentées. Plus spécifiquement, les fonctionnelles LDA et GGA sont décrites et leurs limites sont exposées. De plus, le modèle de Hubbard ainsi que la fonctionnelle LDA+U qui en découle sont abordés dans ce chapitre afin de permettre la simulation des propriétés de matériaux à forte corrélation électronique. Par la suite, les résultats obtenus sur les polymères sont résumés par deux articles. Le premier traite de la variation de la bande interdite entre les polymères pontés et leurs homologues non pontés. Le second se penche sur l’étude de polymères à faible largeur de bande interdite. Dans ce dernier, il sera démontré qu’une fonctionnelle hybride, contenant de l’échange exact, est nécessaire afin de décrire les propriétés électroniques des systèmes à l’étude. Finalement, le dernier chapitre est consacré à l’étude des cuprates supraconducteurs. La LDA+U pouvant rendre compte de la forte localisation dans les orbitales 3d des atomes de cuivre, une étude de l’impact de cette fonctionnelle sur les propriétés électroniques est effectuée. Un dernier article investiguant différents ordres magnétiques dans le La2CuO4 dopé termine le dernier chapitre. On trouve aussi, en annexe, un complément d’information pour le second article et une description de la théorie de la supraconductivité de Bardeen, Cooper et Schrieffer. / Description of complex systems by Density functional theory is treated in this thesis. First, the Density functional theory and a few functionals used to simulate cristals are presented. Specifically, the LDA and GGA functionnals are described and their limits are exposed. Furthermore, the Hubbard model as well as the LDA+U functionnal are addressed in this chapter. These methods enable the study of highly correlated materials. Then, results obtained on polymers are summarized in two articles. The first one treats the band gap variation of ladder-type polymers compared to non ladder type ones. The second article considers small band gap polymers. In this case, it will be shown that an hybrid functional, which contains exact exchange, is required to describe the electronic properties of the polymers under study. Finally, the last chapter address the study of cuprates superconductors. The LDA+U can account for the localization of electrons in copper orbitals. Consequently, a study of the impact of this functionnal on electronic properties of cuprates is conducted. The chapter is ended by an article treating magnetic orders in doped La2CuO4. Supplementary materials of the second article and a description of the theory of superconductivity of Bardeen, Cooper and Schrieffer are put in annex.

Sekliojo geoterminio šildymo sistemos vis plačiau naudojamos individualios ir visuomeninės paskirties pastatų šildymui. Tokių sistemų viena svarbiausių dalių yra kolektorius, tiekiantis žemės šilumą šilumos siurbliui. Nuo tinkamo kolektoriaus parametrų parinkimo labai priklauso geoterminio šildymo sistemos efektyvumas ir jos įrengimo kaštai. Inžineriniams kolektorių parametrų skaičiavimams plačiai naudojami artutiniai, gana apytiksliai metodai.

Išspręstas 3D šilumos laidumo uždavinys, leidžiantis tiksliau įvertinti kolektoriaus parametrus. Ištirta kolektoriaus šilumos srauto priklausomybė nuo gręžinio gylio, kolektoriuje tekančio šilumnešio greičio bei temperatūros, užpildo, grunto ir šilumnešio parametrų. / Geothermal heating systems are becoming increasingly popular to generate heat for public and individual buildings. But they have some disadvantages, most notable of which is that such systems require major investments in geological research and the installation of the thermal heat exchanger. One of the most important components in this type of systems is a heat exchanger, supplying the geothermal heat to the heat pump. Selecting the proper parameters of a heat exchanger is critical for overall efficiency and installation costs of a geothermal heating system. Simulations of engineering parameters of heat exchangers are based on quite approximate methods. In this work, we carried out a Finite Element Method computer simulation of a vertical U-type heat exchanger using the COMSOL Multiphysics software package. We solved a 3D heat conduction problem, allowing more accurate assessment of vertical U-type heat exchanger parameters, such as the thermal resistance and heat flux, depending on geometry of the wells, ground and soil parameters.

A evolução da margem continental do sudeste do Brasil tem sido discutida por diversos autores desde meados do século passado até os dias atuais, especialmente no contexto da origem e evolução dos escarpamentos e das bacias tafrogênicas. Buscou-se contribuir com novos dados sobre a evolução da área a partir da aplicação da termocronologia de baixa temperatura (U-Th)/He em apatita, que oferece uma sensibilidade significativa para registrar movimentações tectônicas na crosta superior. Foi possível obter idades em 107 cristais de apatita de 18 amostras do embasamento coletadas no perfil com orientação NW-SE, numa seção entre a Serra da Mantiqueira e o Gráben da Guanabara. As idades corrigidas variam entre 250,1 8,7 Ma e 43,5 1,9 Ma (2 &#963;) e as não corrigidas entre 174,13 3,03 Ma e 27,07 0,60 Ma (1 &#963;). O Neocretáceo, o Eocretáceo e o Paleoceno são os principais registros no conjunto de dados, em ordem de importância. No Neocretáceo, o intervalo entre 83,6 e 72,1 Ma (Campaniano) representa o maior destaque nos registros termocronológicos, embora os outros registros (Maastrichtiano e Santoniano) também estejam presentes e sejam importantes. As idades do Neocretáceo destacam a importância dos eventos tectonomagmáticos e soerguimento regional na história térmica dessa área, inclusive com idades (~86 Ma) atribuídas ao contexto de soerguimento da Serra do Mar. As idades do Eocretáceo indicam o registro de eventos térmicos mais antigos, vinculados à evolução pré-rifte. Já os dados do Paleoceno estariam associados ao evento de reativação responsável pela implantação do sistema de riftes continentais (~65 Ma) e as idades do Eoceno, restritas à borda de falha da bacia de Resende (49,7 Ma e 43,5 Ma), à reativação do sistema de riftes nessa área. A dispersão de idades foi interpretada como efeito dos danos de radiação já que muitos grãos apresentam correlação entre idade e concentração de urânio (eU). Os padrões de tempo-temperatura (t-T), definidos a partir dos modelos HeFTy calibrados para o modelo de difusão que considera os efeitos de danos de radiação nos cristais, registraram eventos de resfriamento rápido, os quais mostram correlação direta com episódios de reativação e soerguimento na margem continental e com registros nas bacias continentais e marginais. O padrão de aumento das idades com a elevação, assim como da costa em direção ao interior é observado, mas mostra-se alterado pela ocorrência de idades mais jovens associadas à complexa evolução dessa margem continental com desnivelamentos de blocos vinculados à tectônica pós-rift, numa situação que ressalta a influência dos episódios de reativação. As estimativas de denudação total variam entre 1,2 e 2,8 km. As taxas de erosão variam entre 15,2 e 35,3 m/Ma. A evolução da área indica não apenas a influência de um evento específico mas, possivelmente, uma combinação de episódios que se alternaram e/ou atuaram em conjunto em determinados períodos. Os eventos de reativação mais antigos, combinados com os mais recentes, exibem os seus remanescentes na paisagem (serras da Mantiqueira e do Mar e os grábens e bacias sedimentares) e assumem papel fundamental na evolução da área. Os registros de tais episódios podem ser observados nas histórias térmicas das rochas e nos depósitos correlativos nas bacias sedimentares marginais e intracontinentais. / This doctoral dissertation involves low-temperature thermochronologic investigations to constrain the Mesozoic and Cenozoic tectonic reactivation of the continental margin of southeast Brazil. The study area is located in a segment of the Neoproterozoic Ribeira belt in southeastern Brazil, which occupied a central position in Western Gondwana. Lately, during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic, fault zones related to the development of the continental rifts in southeast Brazil reactivated. Using apatite (U-Th)/He thermochronology (AHe), we have presented the results of analysis on 107 apatite crystals of basement samples collected from a NWSE transect in the Mantiqueira Mountains to the Guanabara Graben, as well as from the NESE transverse faults. The data range from 27.07 0.60 Ma to 174.13 3.03 Ma (1 &#963;) for uncorrected ages, and from 43.5 1.9 Ma to 250.1 8.7 Ma (2 &#963;) for corrected ages. The Neo-Cretaceous, Eo-Cretaceous, and Paleocene are the main recorded AHe ages, in order of importance. The Eo-Cretaceous ages indicate the occurrence of older thermal events related to a pre-rifting phase (~121 Ma). The Neo-Cretaceous ages signify the importance of tectonic and magmatic events, and regional uplifting for the thermal history of the study area, including ages related to the Serra do Mar Mountains uplift (~86 Ma). Paleocene ages seem to be related to the reactivation (~65 Ma), which was responsible for the continental rifts in the southeastern Brazil. Finally, the Eocene ages (49.7 Ma and 43.5 Ma), which are from samples restricted to the Resende Basin border faults, indicate a continental rift reactivation. We investigated the age dispersion data, which were interpreted as an effect of radiation damage. Several samples show correlations between apatite (U-Th)/He age and effective U concentration (eU). We have applied HeFTy thermal modeling to obtain timetemperature (t T) paths using a radiation damage diffusion model. Inverse modeling of (U-Th)/He age data suggests rapid cooling episodes for all samples. The main thermal events recorded by the HeFTy models show a direct correlation with the timing of regional tectonic events: reactivation phases, continental margin uplift, and the sedimentary record. Apatite (U-Th)/He ages increase with distance from the coast and with elevation. However, these patterns are discontinued by samples of younger ages as a result of the reactivation process of pre-existing structures in the Brazilian continental margin. The total estimated denudation range from 1.2 to 2.8 km. The erosion rates range from 15.2 to 35.3 m/My. Thus, the multi-episodic thermal events, which led to the formation of important regional tectonic and geomorphological features (Mantiqueira Mountains, Serra do Mar Mountains, grabens, and sedimentary basins), seem to play a fundamental role in the evolution of the Brazilian continental margin. The records can be found in the thermal history of rocks and its correlated deposits in the continental margin.

There is a need of evaluating and adapting the actual technology to the worldwide reservoirs reality, not only on the exploration (reservoir discovers) but also on the development of those that were already discovered, however not yet produced. The in situ combustion (ISC) is a suitable technique for these recovery of hydrocarbons, although it remains complex to be implemented. The main objective of this research was to study the application of the ISC as an advanced oil recovery technique through a parametric analysis of the process using vertical wells within a semi synthetic reservoir that had the characteristics from the brazilian northwest, in order to determine which of those parameters could influence the process, verifying the technical and economical viability of the method on the oil industry. For that analysis, a commercial reservoir simulation program for thermal processes was used, called steam thermal and advanced processes reservoir simulator (STARS) from the computer modeling group (CMG). This study aims, through the numerical analysis, find results that help improve mainly the interpretation and comprehension of the main problems related to the ISC method, which are not yet dominated. From the results obtained, it was proved that the mediation promoted by the thermal process ISC over the oil recovery is very important, with rates and cumulated production positively influenced by the method application. It was seen that the application of the method improves the oil mobility as a function of the heating when the combustion front forms inside the reservoir. Among all the analyzed parameters, the activation energy presented the bigger influence, it means, the lower the activation energy the bigger the fraction of recovered oil, as a function of the chemical reactions speed rise. It was also verified that the higher the enthalpy of the reaction, the bigger the fraction of recovered oil, due to a bigger amount of released energy inside the system, helping the ISC. The reservoir parameters: porosity and permeability showed to have lower influence on the ISC. Among the operational parameters that were analyzed, the injection rate was the one that showed a stronger influence on the ISC method, because, the higher the value of the injection rate, the higher was the result obtained, mainly due to maintaining the combustion front. In connection with the oxygen concentration, an increase of the percentage of this parameter translates into a higher fraction of recovered oil, because the quantity of fuel, helping the advance and the maintenance of the combustion front for a longer period of time. About the economic analysis, the ISC method showed to be economically feasible when evaluated through the net present value (NPV), considering the injection rates: the higher the injection rate, the higher the financial incomes of the final project / O comportamento do fluxo de fluidos em campos petrol?feros ? influenciado por diversos fatores e t?m grande impacto na viabiliza??o da recupera??o de hidrocarbonetos. A necessidade de avaliar e adaptar as tecnologias atuais ? realidade dos reservat?rios mundiais existe n?o apenas na fase de explora??o (descoberta dos reservat?rios), mas tamb?m no desenvolvimento daqueles que j? foram descobertos, por?m n?o produzidos. A combust?o in situ (CIS) ? uma t?cnica prop?cia para recupera??o de hidrocarbonetos, todavia, complexa de se implementar. O objetivo principal do presente trabalho foi estudar a aplica??o da CIS como m?todo de recupera??o avan?ada de petr?leo atrav?s da an?lise param?trica do processo em po?os verticais, utilizando um reservat?rio semissint?tico com caracter?sticas do Nordeste Brasileiro, com intuito de determinar quais destes par?metros t?m influ?ncia expressiva no processo, verificando assim a viabilidade t?cnica e econ?mica do m?todo para a ind?stria petrol?fera. Para tal an?lise foi utilizado um programa comercial de simula??o de reservat?rios de petr?leo usando processos t?rmicos, denominado Steam, Thermal, and Advanced Processes Reservoir Simulator (STARS) do Computer Modelling Group (CMG). Esse estudo busca atrav?s da an?lise num?rica computacional resultados que possam melhorar, principalmente, a interpreta??o e compreens?o dos principais problemas ocorridos quando da aplica??o do m?todo CIS, que ainda n?o s?o totalmente dominados. A partir dos resultados obtidos foi comprovada a importante media??o promovida pelo processo t?rmico CIS sobre a recupera??o de ?leo, com vaz?es e produ??o acumulada sensivelmente alteradas, positivamente, pela introdu??o do m?todo. Observou-se que a aplica??o do m?todo CIS melhora a mobilidade do ?leo em fun??o do aquecimento quando da forma??o da frente de combust?o no interior do reservat?rio. Dentre todos os par?metros de reservat?rio analisados, a energia de ativa??o apresentou a maior influ?ncia, ou seja, quanto menor o valor da energia de ativa??o, maior a fra??o de ?leo recuperada, em fun??o do aumento da velocidade das rea??es qu?micas. Foi verificado tamb?m que quanto maior a entalpia da rea??o, maior foi a fra??o de ?leo recuperada devido a maior quantidade de energia liberada no sistema favorecendo assim a CIS. Os par?metros de reservat?rios: porosidade e permeabilidade mostraram-se pouco influentes em rela??o a CIS. Dentre os par?metros operacionais analisados, a vaz?o de inje??o foi o par?metro que apresentou forte influ?ncia para o m?todo CIS, pois quanto maior o valor atribu?do a mesma, maior a resposta obtida, principalmente devido a manuten??o da frente de combust?o. Quanto maior a concentra??o de oxig?nio, maior foi a fra??o de ?leo recuperada em fun??o da maior quantidade de comburente, favorecendo o avan?o e a manuten??o da frente por um per?odo de tempo maior. Em rela??o ? an?lise econ?mica, o m?todo CIS mostrou-se vi?vel economicamente quando da avalia??o do valor presente l?quido (VPL) considerando as vaz?es de inje??o: para maiores valores de vaz?o obteve-se maior retorno financeiro no final do projeto
