The purpose of this study was to get an extended view over social workers work with honor related violence. This topic was classified as a problem in Sweden first when three different women were murdered in results of honor related violence. Thereafter the case where Fadima was murdered  in 2002, the Swedish governments started to discuss possible supports that can help solve this problem. The main purpose was to find out how social services view honor related violence and what support they have for the ones that are abused. Although anybody can be a victim of honor related violence the study has mainly focused on the girls and young women that are a victim of honor related violence.  We wanted to get a more extended view over the issues, therefore we used a qualitative thematic analysis. This method has been executed by semi-structured interviews. The interviews that have been conducted were with social secretaries that work in Social services with honor related violence.  After reviewing our interview results we started analyzing the data. The results show that there are different supports for the girls and young women that are a victim of honor related violence. The problem is that these supports have not always shown achievements. This is not only due to a lack of support from Social Services. This depends on the victim and if the victims will go through with the support. Therefore the government needs to work with the families that expose these girls for honor related violence to try to change their view.

Climate change will most likely increase the frequency of weather extremes in the future. Events such as heat waves may occur more often and proceed for longer time. Heat can have a huge impact on people’s health and higher mortality rates during heat waves are seen all over the world. In Sweden the local municipality has the responsibility for both healthcare of elder and community functions like drinking water. This study aimed to investigate how local Swedish municipalities work proactive against heat waves and if that differs between various geographic parts of the country. A survey was sent out to all local municipalities and got a response rate of 43%, 129 answers of 290. The result showed that nearly 83% of the respondents worked proactive against heat waves in some sort. Actions that they reported was mainly about developing routines and buying air conditions. Focus was to locate these actions in facilities like eldercare and healthcare for vulnerable groups. The proactive work was evenly distributed over the country and no geographic variations could be detected. The most prominent way to prevent health issues during heat waves is to be prepared and work with action plans before the heat occurs. This study indicates that proactive work against heat waves is something that a majority of the local Swedish municipalities work with. That can be seen as positive indication of the preparedness for future heat waves.

The thesis examines the impact of diplomatic initiatives and military conflicts on Palestinian support for armed engagement. It found a negative correlation between support for armed strategies and diplomatic events, suggesting diplomatic efforts mitigate conflict likelihood. However, there was no significant increase in public support for armed engagement during military conflict. The study suggests that diplomatic initiatives are more effective in reducing support for violence and suggests prioritizing diplomatic engagements for peacebuilding. Future research should explore psychological, social, and economic factors influencing Palestinian public opinion.

This dissertation attempts to determine what Britain expected from participation in the Supreme Economic Council (SEC) of the 1919 Paris Peace Conference and to what extent its expectations were realized. An investigation of available sources reveals that access to European markets and raw materials and a balance of power to prevent French, German, or Russian hegemony in Europe were British foreign policy goals that SEC delegates sought to advance. Primary sources for this study include unpublished British Foreign Office and Cabinet records, published British, United States, and German government documents, unpublished personal papers of people directing SEC efforts, such as David Lloyd George, Austen Chamberlain, Cecil Harmsworth, Harry Osborne Mance, and John Maynard Keynes, and published memoirs and accounts of persons who were directly or indirectly involved with the SEC. Secondary accounts include biographies and histories or studies of the Peace Conference and of countries affected by its work. Primarily concerned with the first half of 1919, this dissertation focuses on British participation in Inter-allied war-time economic efforts, in post-war Rhineland control, in the creation of the SEC, and in the SEC endeavors of revictualling Germany, providing food and medical relief for eastern Europe, and reconstructing European communications. It concludes with Britain's role in the attempt to convert the SEC into an International Economic Council in the last half of 1919 and with the transfer of SEC duties to the Reparations Commission and to the League of Nations. Through participation in the SEC, Britain led in negotiating the Brussels Agreement and in establishing the Rhineland Commission and the German Economic Commission, reversing French attempts to control the Rhenish economy, preventing French hegemony in Europe, and gaining access to German markets for British goods. Although it failed to achieve its goals of strong eastern European states and access to markets and raw materials there, Britain led in restoration of communications and participated in the relief effort which saved the new states from anarchy in 1919.

Nos últimos anos a presença da informática auxiliando os projetos de estruturas de edifícios em concreto armado com múltiplos pavimentos tem atingido grandes proporções. Particularmente em relação à análise das respostas da estrutura frente a solicitações impostas, essa presença possibilita a consideração de modelos estruturais teóricos muito consistentes. Por outro lado, tradicionalmente existem modelos chamados de simplificados que também retratam as respostas da estrutura, porém normalmente com menor grau de aproximação em relação ao comportamento real. Nesse sentido, são apresentadas modelagens de estruturas convencionais de edifícios compreendidas pelos dois aspectos citados, sendo analisados esforços solicitantes e deslocamentos em vigas e pilares frente a ações verticais e horizontais (análise elástico-linear). Notadamente, há uma grande preocupação com o estudo da evolução dos esforços solicitantes nesses elementos ao longo da altura do edifício. Também são abordados os esforços de 2ª ordem global, que aparecem quando atuam simultaneamente as ações verticais e horizontais. Com o intuito de exemplificar e comparar resultados, diferentes modelos estruturais são utilizados na análise do projeto de um edifício em concreto armado com múltiplos pavimentos, construído na cidade de São Carlos-SP, devendo-se destacar a modelagem tridimensional. / In the last years the computation presence auxiliaring the designs of reinforced concrete structures of multistorey buildings has reached great proportions. Particularly concerning the analysis of structural answers due to imputed solicitations, this presence makes possible the consideration of theoretical structural models very consistents. In the other side, traditionally there are models called simplifieds that also describe the structural answers, however normally with less approximation degree concerning the real behavior. In this way, modellings of conventional building structures comprehended by the two cited aspects are presented, being analysed efforts and displacements in beams and columns due to vertical and horizontal loads (elastic-linear analysis). Notably, there is a great preoccupation with the study of the efforts evolution in these elements along the building height. Also are discussed the global 2nd. arder efforts, that appear when the vertical and horizontal loads act simultaneously. In order to exemplify and to compare results, different structural models are utilized in the analysis of the design of a reinforced concrete multistorey building, constructed in São Carlos city, São Paulo state, having to detach the tridimensional modelling.

Cette étude s'inscrit dans le domaine des moteurs à doublets d'hélices contrarotatives, aussi appelés open rotors. Elle a porté sur le développement des méthodologies à coût modéré pour la simulation aérodynamique des open rotors. Elle avait pour objectif, d'un côté, la mise en place et la validation de ces méthodologies rapides ; et d'un autre côté, l'approfondissement de la compréhension de l'origine des efforts dans le plan hélice, aussi appelés les efforts 1P. Pour le premier des objectifs, le code HOST-MINT, basé sur la méthode de la ligne portante a été adapté et amélioré pour la simulation de l'aérodynamique instationnaire des hélices et des open rotors. Des validations ont été réalisées avec succès par comparaison avec des données expérimentales et des simulations CFD plus avancées. Cette étude a ainsi ouvert des nombreuses perspectives d'application de ce type de méthodologies rapides dans la conception aérodynamique des futurs open rotors. En outre, cette méthode s'est révélée aussi adaptée pour d'autres domaines autour de l'aérodynamique, comme par exemple, pour les problèmes d'aéroélasticité ou pour les prédictions aéroacoustiques préliminaires. / This study is devoted to the development of moderate-cost methodologies for the aerodynamic simulation of open rotors. The main goals are, on one side, to develop and validate these rapid methodologies, and, on the other side, to better understand the mechanisms behind propeller in-plane loads, also called the 1P loads. To reach the first goal, the HOST-MINT code, based on the lifting-line theory, has been adapted and improved for the unsteady simulation of propellers and open rotors. The code has been assessed by comparison with experimental data and more complex and precise CFD simulations. Finally, the first developments and tests of a Lagrangian/Eulerian coupling strategy between HOST-MINT and the elsA CFD code have been performed. These studies enable to endeavor a number of applications of this type of rapid methodologies in the aerodynamic design of future open rotors. Moreover, these methodologies may be adapted for other domains linked to aerodynamics, such as aeroelastic problems or preliminary aeroacoustic predictions.
