上路探尋失落的中國 ——以公路電影《落葉歸根》、《後會無期》、《心花路放》為例 / On the road seeking the lost China: using getting home, the continent and breakup buddies as case studies

譚玥 Unknown Date (has links)
21世紀以來,中國出現了大量的公路電影,尤其在2010年以後,公路電影不僅收穫了卓越的票房成績,也受到了廣泛的關注。中國公路電影在發展的過程當中,逐漸從對西方公路類型的挪用轉向了建立出屬於中國公路電影獨特的本土特徵,在電影的敘事、意象、人物設置、配樂等方面都表現出了其特別之處。中國的公路電影聚焦社會現實,反映了在中國社會轉型這個特殊時期的社會現實,暴露中國社會的種種現代性問題。本研究將選取《落葉歸根》、《心花路放》、《後會無期》這三個電影文本,使用類型批評、文本分析、符號研究的研究方法,探究在中國的現代化建設和社會轉型當中究竟失落了什麼。 / This study will select Breakup Buddies, The Continent and Getting Home as case studies, and use the genre criticism, textual analysis, semiotic analysis, to explore what has been lost in the social transformation of China's modernization construction. Since the 21st century, especially during the period after 2010, there have been a lot of road movies in China's film industry. Road movie have not only hit remarkable outcome at the box office, but also has received the general attention. During the development of China's road movies, the style gradually changed from duplicating western road movies to establishing distinctive and native characteristics, which reflect on the unique narratives, images, characterization and soundtrack in those movies. China's road movies focus on the society and reflect reality during the special period of social transformation in China, which also expose problems of modernity of Chinese society.

Numerical Simulations Of Two-Phase Reacting Flow In A Cavity Combustor

Sivaprakasam, M 12 1900 (has links) (PDF)
In the present work, two phase reacting flow in a single cavity Trapped Vortex Combustor (TVC) is studied at atmospheric conditions. KIVA-3V, numerical program for simulating three dimensional compressible reacting flows with sprays using Lagrangian-Drop Eulerian-fluid procedure is used. The stochastic discrete droplet model is used for simulating the liquid spray. In each computational cell, it is assumed that the volume occupied by the liquid phase is very small. But this assumption of very low liquid volume fraction in a computational cell is violated in the region close to the injection nozzle. This introduces grid dependence in predictions of liquid phase in the region close to the nozzle in droplet collision algorithm, and in momentum coupling between the liquid and the gas phase. Improvements are identified to reduce grid dependence of these algorithms and corresponding changes are made in the standard KIVA-3V models. Pressure swirl injector which produces hollow cone spray is used in the current study along with kerosene as the liquid fuel. Modifications needed for modelling pressure swirl atomiser are implemented. The Taylor Analogy Breakup (TAB) model, the standard model for predicting secondary breakup is improved with modifications required for low pressure injectors. The pressure swirl injector model along with the improvements is validated using experimental data for kerosene spray from the literature. Simulations of two phase reacting flow in a single cavity TVC are performed and the temperature distribution within the combustor is studied. In order to identify an optimum configuration with liquid fuel combustion, the following parameters related to fuel and air such as cavity fuel injection location, cavity air injection location, Sauter Mean Diameter (SMD) of injected fuel droplets, velocity of the fuel injected are studied in detail in order to understand the effect of these parameters on combustion characteristics of a single cavity TVC.

Modeling of liquid film and breakup phenomena in Large-Eddy Simulations of aeroengines fueled by airblast atomizers / Modélisation des phénomènes de film liquide et d'atomisation pour la simulation aux grandes échelles de turbines a gaz alimentées par atomiseurs airbla

Chaussonnet, Geoffroy 13 May 2014 (has links)
Les turbines à gaz doivent satisfaire des normes d'émission polluantes toujours en baisse. La formation de polluants est directement liée à la qualité du mélange d'air et de carburant en amont du front de flamme. Ainsi, leur réduction implique une meilleure prédiction de la formation du spray et de son interaction avec l'écoulement gazeux. La Simulation aux Grandes Échelles (SGE) semble un outil numérique approprié pour étudier ces mécanismes. Le but de cette thèse est de développer des modèles phénoménologiques décrivant la phase liquide notamment le film et son atomisation en bout de lèvre d'injecteur, dans un contexte SGE. Ces modèles sont validés ou calibrés sur l'expérience académique réalisée par l'Institut für Thermische Strömungsmaschinen (ITS) de l'université technologique de Karlsruhe (KIT), et appliqués dans une configuration réelle de moteur d'hélicoptère. Dans un premier temps, le film liquide mince est décrit par une approche Lagrangienne. Les particules de film représentent un volume élémentaire de liquide adhérent à la paroi. L'équation du mouvement est donnée par l'intégration des équations de Saint-Venant sur l'épaisseur du film. La dynamique du film est donnée par le gradient de pression longitudinal, le cisaillement interfacial du gaz et la gravité. Dans un second temps, l'atomisation du film est caractérisée par la distribution de taille de gouttes du spray généré. Celle-ci est décrite par une distribution de Rosin-Rammler dont les coefficients sont paramétrés par la vitesse du gaz, la tension superficielle du liquide et l'épaisseur de la lèvre de l'injecteur. Les constantes de ce modèle, baptisé PAMELA, sont calibrées sur l'expérience du KIT-ITS. La simulation de l'expérience KIT-ITS permet de valider le modèle de film, de vérifier la robustesse du modèle PAMELA, et de comparer qualitativement l'angle du spray généré. L'application de ces modèles dans une configuration réelle partiellement instrumentée permet de valider PAMELA sans modification de ses constantes, et d'étudier leur impact sur la structure de flamme, comparé aux méthodes traditionnelles d'injection liquide. / Aeronautical gas turbines need to satisfy growingly stringent demands on pollutant emission. Pollutant emissions are directly related to the quality of fuel air mixing prior to combustion. Therefore, their reduction relies on a more accurate prediction of spray formation and interaction of the spray with the gaseous turbulent flow field. Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) seems an adequate numerical tool to predict these mechanisms. The objectives of this thesis is to develop phenomenological models describing the liquid phase, in particular the film and its atomization at the injector atomizing lips, in the context of LES. These models are validated or calibrated on the academic experiment performed at Institut für Thermische Strömungsmaschinen (ITS) from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), and applied to a helicopter engine real configuration. In a first step, the thin liquid film is described by a Lagangian approach. Film particles represent an elementary volume of liquid at the wall surface. The equation of motion is given by integrating the Saint-Venant equations over the film thickness. The film dynamics derives from the pressure gradient, the interfacial shear and gravity. In a second step, the film breakup is characterized by the drop size distribution of the spray. The former one is described by a Rosin-Rammler distribution, whose coefficients depend on the gas velocity, the liquid surface tension and the atomizing edge thickness of the injector. The model, labelled PAMELA, is calibrated from the KIT-ITS experiment. The simulation of the KIT-ITS experiment allows to validate the film model, to check PAMELA robustness, and to compare qualitatively the spray angle. The application of these models in a real configuration allows to check PAMELA robustness without constants modification, and to study their impact on the flame structure, in comparison with usual methods of liquid injection.

Model development for simulating bubble coalescence in disperse bubbly flows with the Euler-Lagrange approach

Yang, Xinghao 09 November 2021 (has links)
This thesis presents the investigation of an Euler-Lagrange framework for modeling bubble coalescence in dispersed bubbly flows. The interaction between bubbles may be caused by several mechanisms. Among them, the random motion due to turbulent fluctuations is normally of major significance. One focus of this work is to apply a bubble dispersion model for modeling turbulence-induced coalescence, occurring in a certain percentage of collision events. Large bubbles appear due to coalescence, and their disturbance to the liquid phase is not negligible in most circumstances. However, the point-mass Euler-Lagrange method requires the bubble or particle size to be much smaller than the cell size when the interphase coupling is considered. Otherwise, numerical instabilities may arise. Therefore, interpolation methods between the Euler and the Lagrange phase for finite-size bubbles that are bigger than or of the same size as numerical cells are studied. The Euler-Lagrange method describes the continuous phase on the Euler grid, and the dispersed phase is treated as Lagrange points in the simulation. Bubble motion is governed by an ordinary differential equation for the linear momentum considering different forces. The turbulent dispersion of the dispersed phase is reconstructed with the continuous random walk (CRW) model. Bubble-bubble collisions and coalescence are accounted for deterministically. The time-consuming search for potential collision partners in dense bubbly flows is accelerated by the sweep and prune algorithm, which can be utilized in arbitrary mesh types and sizes. If the interphase coupling is considered in the simulations, the spatially distributed coupling method is used for the Lagrange-to-Euler coupling. For the Euler-to-Lagrange coupling, a new approach is proposed. To evaluate the dispersion and coalescence models, one-way coupled simulations of bubbly pipe flows at low Eötvös numbers are conducted. Validation against the experiments demonstrates that the one-way coupled EL-CRW dispersion model can well reproduce the bubble distribution in a typical dense bubbly pipe flow. Good agreement of the bubble size distribution at the pipe outlet between the simulation and the experiment is obtained. Two-way coupled simulations are performed to validate the interpolation methods. A combination of coupling approaches is employed in a square bubble column reactor to examine the general validity for a large-scale bubbly flow. Combining the proposed interpolation scheme with the dispersion and bubble interaction models, the coalescence and breakage in bubbly flows are studied in a turbulent pipe flow. The predicted bubble size distribution shows a good match to the measurement. The results are independent of the mesh resolution in the studied range from point-mass simulations to finite-size situations.:Nomenclature 1 Introduction 1.1 Motivation and background for the thesis 1.2 Outline 2 Equations for modeling bubbly flows 2.1 Governing equations of the continuous phase 2.2 Governing equations of the dispersed phase 2.3 Modifications to the bubble force equations 2.3.1 One-way coupled simulations with RANS modeling 2.3.2 Two-way coupled simulations 2.4 Generation of fluctuations 2.4.1 Different approaches to dispersion modeling 2.4.2 Normalized continuous random walk model 2.4.3 Employing the mean velocity field to determine forces 3 Bubble collision, coalescence and breakup 3.1 Previous studies and requirement of the interaction modeling 3.2 Detection of collisions with the sweep and prune algorithm 3.3 Coalescence modeling 3.3.1 Condition of bubble coalescence 3.3.2 Model of Kamp et al.

Die Interaktion zwischen Blasen kann durch mehrere Mechanismen verursacht werden. Unter ihnen sind die zufälligen Bewegungen aufgrund von turbulenten Fluktuationen von großer Bedeutung. Ein Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit ist die Anwendung eines Blasendispersionsmodells zur Modellierung der turbulenzinduzierten Koaleszenz, die in einem bestimmten Prozentsatz der Kollisionsereignisse auftritt. Große Blasen entstehen durch Koaleszenz und ihre Störung der flüssigen Phase ist in den meisten Fällen nicht zu vernachlässigen. Die Punkt-Masse-Euler-Lagrange-Methode erfordert jedoch, dass die Blasengröße viel kleiner als die Zellgröße ist, wenn die Interphasenkopplung berücksichtigt wird. Andernfalls kann es zu numerischen Instabilitäten kommen. Daher werden Interpolationsmethoden zwischen den zwei Phasen untersucht. Die kontinuierliche Phase wird auf dem Euler-Gitter beschrieben und die dispergierte Phase wird als Punkte behandelt. Die Blasenbewegung wird durch eine gewöhnliche Differentialgleichung unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Kräfte bestimmt. Die turbulente Dispersion der Blasen wird mit dem CRW-Modell (continuous random walk) rekonstruiert. Blasen-Blasen-Kollisionen werden deterministisch berücksichtigt. Die Suche nach potentiellen Kollisionspartnern wird durch den Sweep- und Prune-Algorithmus beschleunigt, der in beliebigen Gittertypen und -größen eingesetzt werden kann. Wird die Interphasenkopplung berücksichtigt, so wird für die Lagrange-zu-Euler-Kopplung die spatially distributed coupling verwendet. Für die Euler-zu-Lagrange-Kopplung wird ein neuer Ansatz vorgeschlagen. Um die Dispersions- und Koaleszenzmodelle zu bewerten, werden Einweg-gekoppelte Simulationen von blasenbeladenen Rohrströmungen bei niedriger Eötvös-Zahl durchgeführt. Die Validierung zeigt, dass das einseitig gekoppelte EL-CRW-Dispersionsmodell die Blasenverteilung in einer typischen dichten, blasenbeladenen Rohrströmung gut reproduzieren kann. Es wird eine gute Übereinstimmung der Blasengrößenverteilung am Rohrauslass zwischen der Simulation und dem Experiment erzielt. Zur Validierung der Interpolationsmethoden werden Zweiweg-gekoppelte Simulationen durchgeführt. Eine Kombination von Kopplungsansätzen wird in einem Blasensäulenreaktor eingesetzt, um die allgemeine Gültigkeit zu untersuchen. Durch Kombination des vorgeschlagenen Interpolationsschemas mit den Dispersions- und Blasenwechselwirkungsmodellen werden die Koaleszenz und der Zerfall in einer turbulenten blasenbeladenen Rohrströmung untersucht. Die berechnete Blasengrößenverteilung zeigt eine gute Übereinstimmung mit der Messung und erweist sich als unabhängig von der Netzauflösung im untersuchten Bereich von PunktMasse-Simulationen bis zu Situationen mit Blasen endlicher Größe.:Nomenclature 1 Introduction 1.1 Motivation and background for the thesis 1.2 Outline 2 Equations for modeling bubbly flows 2.1 Governing equations of the continuous phase 2.2 Governing equations of the dispersed phase 2.3 Modifications to the bubble force equations 2.3.1 One-way coupled simulations with RANS modeling 2.3.2 Two-way coupled simulations 2.4 Generation of fluctuations 2.4.1 Different approaches to dispersion modeling 2.4.2 Normalized continuous random walk model 2.4.3 Employing the mean velocity field to determine forces 3 Bubble collision, coalescence and breakup 3.1 Previous studies and requirement of the interaction modeling 3.2 Detection of collisions with the sweep and prune algorithm 3.3 Coalescence modeling 3.3.1 Condition of bubble coalescence 3.3.2 Model of Kamp et al.

Caractérisation des jets à hautes pressions : étude expérimentale d'injections continues sub-, trans- et super-critiques / Characterization of high pressure jets : experimental study of sub-, trans- and super-critical continuous injections

Vallée, Nathalie 21 June 2018 (has links)
L'étude de l'injection d'un fluide dans des conditions de hautes pressions reste encore aujourd'hui un challenge. Lorsque la pression critique des fluides est dépassée, l'état supercritique est atteint, faisant disparaître la distinction entre liquide et gaz. Pour ces conditions extrêmes, les données expérimentales sont peu nombreuses et nécessitent d'être consolidées. Dans cette étude, un nouveau banc d'essai a été réalisé au laboratoire CORIA dans le but d'étudier des injections non-réactives d'éthane et de propane dans une atmosphère sub- et supercritique d'azote ou d'hélium. Les données ont été collectées à partir de quatre diagnostics optiques : l'ombroscopie, la DBI, la radiographie et la CBOS. Des informations qualitatives sur la topologie des jets et de leur couche de mélange sont apportées. Des mesures quantitatives de longueur de cœur dense, d'angle d'ouverture et de densité sont complétées par une étude phénoménologique à l'aide de la théorie des mélanges binaires. / Studying a fluid flow under high-pressure conditions through reliable experiments is still nowadays a challenge. When the chamber pressure exceeds the critical pressure of working fluids the supercritical state of matter is reached and the distinction between gas and liquid becomes blurred. For such special conditions, experimental data are scarce and need to be consolidated. In the present study, a new test bench has been designed at CORIA Lab to study the non-reactive injection of ethane and propane into nitrogen or helium under sub- and supercritical conditions. Experimental data are collected from four image-based techniques : shadowgraphy, diffused backlight illumination (DBI), radiography and color background oriented schlieren (CBOS). Qualitative information on topology of the jets and their mixing layer are provided. Quantitative measurements of dense core length, jet spreading angle and density field are supported by a phenomenological study based on binary mixing theory.

Theoretical study of halos and neutron skins through nuclear reactions and electroweak probes

Colomer Martinez, Frédéric 09 July 2020 (has links) (PDF)
One-nucleon halo nuclei are exotic nuclei which can be seen as a core around which orbits a loosely-bound valence nucleon. They are usually studied through reactions such as elastic scattering and breakup. The ratio method has been developed as a tool to study one-neutron halo nuclei at high energies. It consists of the ratio of angular cross sections, breakup and elastic scattering, which removes most of the sensitivity to the reaction mechanism and to the reaction model. In the simple recoil excitation and breakup (REB) model, the ratio simplifies to a form factor dependent solely on the wave function of the projectile. By measuring this observable and comparing it to the REB form factor, i.e. in the ratio method, more detailed information on the structure of the halo could be obtained. For neutron-halo nuclei at high energy, the ratio observable obtained from accurate CDCC and DEA theoretical calculations follows its REB prediction. I study the extension of this method to lower energies of the reaction which could make the measurement appropriate to facilities such as SPIRAL2 (GANIL, Caen, France) and ReA12 at FRIB (Michigan State University) and to proton halos. This is done by comparing the REB form factor to dynamical calculations of the ratio. The reactions investigated are the reaction of 11Be, the archetypical one-neutron halo nucleus, on 12C, 40Ca and 208Pb targets at 20 MeV/nucleon and of 8B, the archetypical one-proton halo nucleus, on 12C, 58Ni and 208Pb targets at44 MeV/nucleon.For these reactions, the adiabatic assumption is no longer valid due to the effect of the Coulomb interaction. This effect is mainly visible at forward angle for 11Be and is aggravated for 8B by the fact that the halo is charged. The ratio works less well than for neutron-halos at intermediate and high energies. Nevertheless, the ratio is shown to be very sensitive to the orbital angular momentum l0 in which the halo is bound and its binding energy E0, i.e. the single-particle structure of the projectile. Variations of l0 and E0 induce visible changes in shape and in magnitude (up to several orders) of the ratio. Also, the agreement of the ratio with its REB prediction is best when the projectile is loosely-bound and for low l0, i.e. for s and p waves. The validity of the method is not affected by the use of energy ranges—or bins— in the projectile continuum. These tend to increase the cross section without changing the agreement of the ratio with its REB prediction. The applicability of the method is finally explored at high energy for proton-rich nuclei 17F, 25Al and 27P. I show that the ratio method works the latter since this nucleus is bound by a mere 0.870 MeV in the s-wave. For the other nuclei, although the agreement of the ratio with its REB prediction is less good than for neutron-halo nuclei at high energy, it still provides estimates of nuclear-structure features, such as l0 and E0 and could be applied in what can be called an approximate application of the ratio method. Heavy nuclei exhibit a neutron skin, i.e. a thin layer around the nucleus where only neutrons are found. The thickness of the skin is highly correlated with the slope of the symmetry energy. The process of coherent neutral-pion photoproduction is used to extract the nuclear density and hence the neutron-skin thickness of heavy nuclei. In order to analyse recent data on the photoproduction on 12C, 40,48Ca, 116, 120, 124Sn and 208Pb, I build a reaction code. My model uses the formalism of Kerman, McManus and Thaler (KMT) which allows to build the photoproduction matrix on a nucleus from the ones describing the elementary process on a single nucleon. Within the impulse approximation, the photoproduction is seen as the coherent sum of the photoproduction on each of the nucleons. In the plane wave impulse approximation (PWIA), no rescattering of the pion is considered after its production and the cross section is directly proportional to the Fourier transform of the density. Such process is taken into account at the distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) by considering a potential simulating the pion-nucleus interaction and built from the KMT formalism.The agreement of my model with the data is good, especially for 208Pb. The distortion has a significant impact on the photoproduction process. The sensitivity of the process to the density of the target is analysed by performing the calculations with several different densities calculated in different structure models. The distortion has the effect of deteriorating this sensitivity. In the particular case of a 208Pb target, the impact of variations of the neutron-skin thickness of around 0.1 fm on the photoproduction cross section is ten times smaller than the size of the error bars on the experimental data. These results, although less dramatic, hold for the tin targets, for which preliminary data exists. In the light of these results, the coherent neutral-pion photoproduction process does not seem to be suited in the study of the neutron-skin thickness. This conclusion goes in contrast to the results of recent measurements on 208Pb, for which the method was shown to be sensitive to fine details of the density. / Doctorat en Sciences de l'ingénieur et technologie / info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Vertical Field Switching Blue Phase Liquid Crystals For Field Sequential Color Displays

Cheng, Hui-Chuan 01 January 2012 (has links)
Low power consumption is a critical requirement for all liquid crystal display (LCD) devices. A field sequential color (FSC) LCD was proposed by using red (R), green (G) and blue (B) LEDs and removing the lossy component of color filters which only transmits ~30% of the incoming white light. Without color filters, FSC LCDs exhibit a ~3X higher optical efficiency and 3X higher resolution density as compared to the conventional color filters-based LCDs. However, color breakup (CBU) is a most disturbing defect that degrades the image quality in FSC displays. CBU can be observed in stationary or moving images. It manifests in FSC LCDs when there is a relative speed between the images and observers’ eyes, and the observer will see the color splitting patterns or rainbow effect at the boundary between two different colors. In Chapter 2, we introduce a five-primary display by adding additional yellow(Y) and cyan(C) colors. From the analysis and simulations, five primaries can provide wide color gamut and meanwhile the white brightness is increased, as compared to the three-primary. Based on the five-primary theorem, we propose a method to reduce CBU of FSC LCDs by using RGBYC LEDs instead of RGB LEDs in the second section. Without increasing the sub-frame rate as three-primary LCDs, we can reduce the CBU by utilizing proper color sequence and weighting ratios. In addition, the color gamut achieves 140% NTSC and the white brightness increases by more than 13%, as compared to the three-primary FSC LCDs. Another strategy to suppress CBU is using higher field frequency, such as 540 Hz or even up to 1000 Hz. However, this approach needs liquid crystals with a very fast response time (

“She kept quiet all this time” : –En kvalitativ fallanalys av våld i nära relation i Tanzania och Sverige / ”SHE KEPT QUIET ALL THIS TIME” : - A QUALITATIVE CASE ANALYSIS OFINTIMATE PARTNER VIOLENCE IN TANZANIA AND SWEDEN

Zetterström, Ebba, Leander, Amanda January 2023 (has links)
Studien syftar till att skapa förståelse för hur våld i nära relation kan förklaras i Tanzania och Sverige samt vilken inverkan strukturella faktorer har på den enskilda individens uppbrottsprocess. Syftet med studien är att förstå kontextens betydelse för våld nära relation genom att göra en jämförelse av fenomenet mellan Tanzania och Sverige. Studiens resultat består både av samlad empiri från Tanzania och Sverige samt sekundärdata från tidigare forskning. Det empiriska materialet samlades in genom sju semi-strukturerade intervjuer med professionella som arbetar med problematiken, sex stycken från Tanzania och en från Sverige. Den svenska intervjun har kompletterats med empiri genom en litteratursökning. Empirin analyserades genom en tematisk analys och har tolkats genom teorierna och begreppen intersektionalitet, systemteori, exkludering samt det traumatiska bandet. Studiens resultat visade att patriarkala strukturer, normer och traditioner som finns i Tanzania underkuvar kvinnans ställning i samhället vilket försvårar uppbrottsprocessen. I resultatet framkom att det råder stora strukturella skillnader mellan Tanzania och Sverige, där den största skillnaden var att uppbrottet i Tanzania är en process där kollektivet deltar medan det i Sverige snarare är en individuell process. Slutligen framkom det att möjliggörande faktorer uppbrottet är ekonomisk självständighet, emotionellt och praktiskt stöd samt kunskapsspridning. Genom att skapa förståelse och medvetenhet om våldet på både individ och samhällsnivå kan kvinnans möjlighet till ett uppbrott förbättras samt bidra till en utveckling av de stödinsatser som finns att tillgå. / This study aims to create an understanding of how intimate partner violence can be explained in Tanzania and Sweden, as well as the impact structural factors have on the individual's leaving process. The purpose of this study is to understand the importance of the context for intimate partner violence by making a comparison of the phenomenon between Tanzania and Sweden. The study's results consist of both collected empirical data from Tanzania and Sweden as well as secondary data from previous research. The empirical material was collected through seven semi-structured interviews with professionals who work with intimate partner violence, six from Tanzania and one from Sweden. The Swedish interview has been supplemented with a literature search. The empirical material was analyzed through a thematic analysis and has been interpreted through the theories and concepts of intersectionality, systems theory, exclusion and the traumatic bond. The results of the study showed that patriarchal structures, norms and traditions that exist in Tanzania oppress the women's position in society and that it complicates the break-up process. The results revealed that there are many structural differences between Tanzania and Sweden, where the biggest difference was that the breakup in Tanzania is a process in which the collective participates, while in Sweden it is rather an individual process. Finally, it emerged that possible factors fora breakup are financial independence, emotional and practical support and knowledge dissemination. By creating understanding and awareness of the violence on both an individual and societal level, the woman's opportunity for a breakup can be improved and contribute to the development of the support efforts that are available.
