Women in transition : a study of Vancouver Transition House as agent of changeRidington, Jillian January 1977 (has links)
This thesis examines the origins and function of Vancouver Transition House as an agent of role change and of social change. It is based on observations made during a three-year period as a member of the Transition House staff collective, on formal and informal interviews with the founders, staff, and residents of the house, and on Stephenson's, Garden's, and Freeman's studies of the new feminist movement.
The work commences with a discussion of the growth of the women's movement
in Vancouver to a stage where the need for social action was understood to be necessary. The effort of the society formed to found the house is then delineated. It is noted that involvement with that group created changes in self-concept and inter-personal relationships similar to those described by Stephenson as occurring in the founders of the original Vancouver women's groups (Stephenson, 1975).
The operation of the house and the role of the staff are detailed. There follows an analysis of the transition process undergone by residents, focussing on the importance of a milieu controlled and inhabited exclusively by women in facilitating this process. It is noted that changes in self-concept and in interpersonal relationships, again similar to those experienced by women involved
in feminist groups, do occur, but that these may not be sustained after the period of residency without changes in the social context. Recommendations for change in the legal and social systems necessary to sustain individual chang accorded to by a group of transition house workers from refuges throughout North America, are examined. The author concludes that such recommendations demand extended social change, and notes the necessity of recognition of the value of work done by women, and of equality of responsibility in the domestic and public spheres. Until these conditions prevail, women's powereto control institutions and bring about fundamental social change will be limited. / Arts, Faculty of / Sociology, Department of / Graduate

We Bring Our Lares with UsChildress, Kristy 02 July 2019 (has links)
Through small- and large-scale sculpture works based on the house, projected images of family photographs, and drawings based on collected data, I am investigating the connections between place, time, and memory. I am asking the questions: How do we revisit the past in our daily lives? How do we connect our immaterial and ephemeral experiences to the physical world? What can we learn and better understand by investigating these relationships?

Addressing barriers to passive house construction in New Orleans: A tool for overcoming obstacles and market transformationJanuary 2018 (has links)
The research in this paper takes an opportunity to examine the feasibility of developing properties in New Orleans, Louisiana which conform to the Passive House Standard. To date, New Orleans has yet to see a single building built to the energy-efficiency standard. This report begins by describing the concept, the history, and benefits of the Passive House Standard. The report uses the same certification definition of Passive House as Passive House International Standard (PHI). By framing the need for Passive House buildings in light of mounting global and regional consequences resulting from anthropogenic climate change, the report argues that Passive House is the best solution to turning the New Orleans built environment into a carbon-neutral zone and achieving many of the energy reduction commitments made by the Landrieu administration under the Climate Action Strategy for a Resilient New Orleans. The report then examines the feasibility of Passive House from a single-family perspective in one of New Orleans’ hottest neighborhoods, “The Irish Channel” and then overlays the barriers which are specifically hindering the investment logic of Passive House in New Orleans. It is shown that the barriers ultimately align to limit the financial attractiveness of Passive House investment to debt and equity investors as well as developers. Additionally, complications relating to the design, development and construction of Passive House structures are also identified as barriers unique to New Orleans. The final section of this analysis specifically considers how to overcome market barriers by applying opportunistic solutions which are unique to the New Orleans real estate development market. / 0 / SPK / specialcollections@tulane.edu

Návrh interiéru kavárny / Interior Design of a CaféZemánková, Kateřina Unknown Date (has links)
The thesis deals with the reconstruction of the café in a historic building on Svoboda Square in Mohelnice. To the revitalized interior, dominated by brick vault was introduced a new and fresh design. The café has two basic spaces. In the first lighter room is located bar and a few tables with long benches and chairs. The back room features a private sitting area overlooking the atrium of the building. Simple shapes and natural materials create contrast with the historic vault. Use indirect lighting is achieved pleasant and intimate atmosphere. An essential element of the interior is a custom made chair that their morphology fit into the concept of the café.

Vytvoření a analýza in-house databáze derivátů pyrazinu s potenciálně antimikrobními účinky / Creation and analysis of in-house database of pyrazine derivatives with potential antimicrobial activityKebakuile, Legae Gomolemo Boemo January 2018 (has links)
In the early phases of drug design and development, scientists must overcome many challenges involved in identifying potential drug-like or lead-like compounds. This has led to the need of creating large sets of chemical data which will aid in improving the identification of pharmacophores and active compounds. Various scientific fields especially pharmacology, medicinal chemistry and biochemistry have begun to employ the use of computer sciences to aid in the screening for potential leads with more specificity with regards to drug-like compounds' or substances' bioactivity. The emphasis of this project was to create a database containing a collection of pyrazine compounds synthesized overtime in the Faculty of Pharmacy (Charles University, Hradec Kralove) with the aim of having anti-mycobacterium (and possible antibacterial and antifungal) activity, and further utilize this database to predict certain pharmacokinetic and bioavailability properties. This project seeks to demonstrate how certain molecular descriptors can be used as reliable chemoinformation to determine the likeliness or possibility of developing a lead-like or drug-like compound by utilizing computer software. An in-house database of 623 compounds saved in SMILES format was created and used in demonstrating quantitative...

SANT'ORSOLA CULTURE HOUSE / SANT'ORSOLA KULTURHUSDjupa, Ann January 2012 (has links)
The project’s objective is to provide Florence with a new concept - a public Cultural House open for everyone and offering a current, reflective and innovative cultural experience from a local, national and international perspective. At the same time, this will open up and give colour and new life to the ancient convent “Sant’Orsola”, consider the balance between old and new, and relate to what it once was - a place for the community characterized by togetherness, activation and educational possibilities. The circle is the central symbol and associates to the history and never ending time, as a clock that goes around… tic toc. The aim is to address a current need, reduce some gaps and to find a value that is not only about the local historical aspects, but the interaction and exchange between different people and cultures in real time.

Analysis of Selected Problems of Home Management House StudentsMcConkie, Alta Geniel 01 May 1960 (has links)
Traditionally , home economics majors and foods and nutrition majors in most colleges and universities have been able to bring their professional theoretical background to a climax with a practical living experience. This has been the policy at Utah State University, fulfilled in Household Administration, Course No. 150. Although the students entering this course are products of different backgrounds and cultural habits, it is assumed that their common home economics background in the University would allow them to manage a home efficiently. For many, however, this living experience requires a substantial adjustment. In some cases this experience of residence in the home management house marks the first break between home and the student.

The Fountain Houses : Practicing EmpowermentUtzinger, Kerstin January 2021 (has links)
In the autumn of 2020, I was an intern at Fontänhuset Sköndal and there my curiosity was aroused to know more about the organization and the people in it. The purpose of my thesis was to investigate whether Fountain houses members' mental health has improved since they started participating in the activities, I wanted to investigate whether empowerment was the reason for the members possibly improved mental health. In this study, I interviewed four members and three employees / supervisors. My assumption that the well-being of the members of Fountain houses was positively affected was to some extent correct. All stated that they felt better since they started at Fontain Houses, but still they continued to medicate and have contact with the traditional psychiatric care. That empowerment in the form of joint work, participation, co-determination and autonomy was crucial in their perception of their mental health. Due to the current corona pandemic, the Fountain houses cannot be open as usual and members cannot participate in all the daily tasks.Hopefully the restrictions will soon end so that members can return to a structured existence with routines, join tasks and social company.Structure and routines are important for people with mental illness. The importance of Fountain houses is becoming more significant as mental illness spreads in the country. It is gratifying that several members are actively involved in establishing more Fountain houses in Sweden. / Hösten 2020 var jag praktikant på Fontänhuset Sköndal och där väcktes min nyfikenhet att veta mer om organisationen och människorna i den. Syftet med min uppsats var att undersöka om Fontänhusens medlemmars psykiska hälsa förbättrats sedan de började delta i verksamheten. Jag ville undersöka om empowerment var anledningen till medlemmarnas eventuellt förbättrade psykiska hälsa. I denna studie har jag intervjuat fyra medlemmar och tre anställda/handledare. Mitt antagande att Fontänhusens medlemmars mående påverkades positivt stämde till viss del. Samtliga uppgav att de mådde bättre sedan de började på Fontänhusen men likväl fortsatte de medicinera och ha kontakt med den traditionella psykiatriska vården. Att empowerment i form av gemensamt arbete, delaktighet, medbestämmande, egenmakt hade avgörande betydelse i deras uppfattning om sitt psykiska hälsotillstånd. På grund av den rådande coronapandemin kan inte Fontänhusen ha öppet som vanligt och många av husens normala, dagliga arbetsuppgifter kan inte alla medlemmar delta i. Förhoppningen är att begränsningarna snarast upphör så att medlemmarna kan återgå till en strukturerad tillvaro med rutiner, gemensamma arbetsuppgifter och social samvaro. Struktur och rutiner är viktigt för människor med psykisk ohälsa. Fontänhusens betydelse får ökad aktualitet i och med att den psykiska ohälsan breder ut sig i landet. Det är glädjande att flera medlemmar aktivt engagerar sig för att fler Fontänhus ska etableras i Sverige.
