Considering that the historical, political, economical and social environment where these immigrants are inserted, are different from that experienced by former immigrants who came to Brazil in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, a period of mass migration, it was revealed that immigration studied in contemporary Natal constitutes a new configuration (Elias, 1994). This new configuration is represented by several characteristics that distinguish this contemporary immigration, as: the relationship established by these foreigners, both with their country of origin and the destination, the formation of social networks that offer support to newcomers and those already installed, the relations of sociability with locals and a new relationship of belonging with the space, since the possibility of coming and going from one country to the other, allows a (re)production of their original ?? social and economic life in the new space. The research methodology was based on the analysis of narrative interviews, in light of the theory of Sch?tze (1977) in order to understand the faces of this immigration. As theoretical support for the data analysis the theories of authors such as Norbert Elias, presentedin his work about the established and outsiders, Pierre Bourdieu, and his concept of habitus, distinction and style of life, Georg Simmel, and his study of life in the metropolis, his analysis of the foreigner and his theory of sociability, among others. This study attempted to give visibility to foreigners living in Natal, who experience the dynamics of the district of Ponta Negra and reconstruct their daily relations of sociability in this space. In fact, the presence of foreigners in this urban context allows for the construction of new configurations, both in terms of the physical space of the neighborhood, which has been modified by the touristification process and the real estate market, which is molded to meet this demand, but also in their social sphere, with regard to the relations established between foreign residents and locals. In seeking to characterize these migratory experiences it could be understood that the trajectories of each foreigner is part of a broader social structure, which cannot be evaluated neither disconnected from the contexts in which they operate, nor under a single point of view / Este trabalho tem como objetivo compreender a trajet?ria dos imigrantes que viveram em Natal/RN, entre os anos de 1990 e 2009, suas motiva??es para esta mudan?a, suas rela??es de sociabilidade, bem como o impacto da presen?a deste grupo na cidade de Natal e, especificamente, no bairro de Ponta Negra, local onde a maioria estabeleceu sua resid?ncia ou local de trabalho. Considerando que o contexto hist?rico, pol?tico, econ?mico e social em que est?o inseridos estes imigrantes s?o diferentes do vivido pelos imigrantes que vieram para o Brasil no final do s?culo XIX e in?cio do XX, per?odo das migra??es em massa, foi poss?vel perceber que a imigra??o contempor?nea estudada em Natal constitui uma nova configura??o (ELIAS, 1994). Esta nova configura??o est? representada por in?meras caracter?sticas, que diferenciam esta imigra??o contempor?nea como: a rela??o estabelecida por estes estrangeiros, tanto com seu pa?s de origem como o de destino; a forma??o de redes sociais que oferecem suportes aos rec?m-chegados e aos j? instalados; as rela??es de sociabilidade com os moradores locais e uma nova rela??o de pertencimento com o espa?o, uma vez que o ir e vir de um pa?s ao outro possibilita uma (re)produ??o da vida social e econ?mica no novo espa?o. A pesquisa teve por base metodol?gica a an?lise de entrevistas narrativas, ? luz da teoria de Sch?tze (1977), objetivando compreender as faces desta imigra??o. Como suporte te?rico para a an?lise dos dados foram utilizadas as teorias de autores como Norbert Elias, em seu trabalho acerca dos estabelecidos e outsiders, Pierre Bourdieu, a partir dos conceitos de habitus, distin??o e estilo de vida, Georg Simmel, em seu estudo sobre a vida na metr?pole, sua an?lise acerca do estrangeiro e sua teoria sobre sociabilidades, entre outros. Este trabalho buscou dar visibilidade aos estrangeiros que moram em Natal, que vivenciam a din?mica do bairro de Ponta Negra e que reconstroem cotidianamente suas rela??es de sociabilidade neste espa?o. De fato, a presen?a dos estrangeiros neste contexto urbano possibilita a constru??o de novas configura??es, tanto no que diz respeito ao espa?o f?sico do bairro, que vem sendo modificado pelo processo de turistifica??o e pelo mercado imobili?rio, que se molda para atender a esta demanda, como tamb?m em sua esfera social, no que diz respeito ?s rela??es estabelecidas entre os moradores estrangeiros e os moradores locais. Ao buscar caracterizar essas experi?ncias migrat?rias foi poss?vel compreender que as trajet?rias individuais de cada estrangeiro ? parte integrante de uma estrutura social mais ampla, que n?o pode ser avaliada desconectada dos contextos em que est?o inseridas, nem muito menos sob um ?nico ponto de vista

The purpose of this study is to map out and to analyze the spatial variation of female representation at the national level in established democracies. The aim is also to explain the variation in the female representation. The main questions that the paper tries to answer are: 1.How does women representation in established democratic parliaments vary? 2.Why does women representation in established democratic parliaments vary? This study is a comparative and statistic study, i.e. a study that includes a bigger number of countries and where quantitative analysis methods are used in order to achieve comparative analyses. This study is both a descriptive and an explanatory study. The statistical method that is used in this study is mainly bivariat analysis and multivariat regression. The results show that the variation in female representation in the established democracies is quite considerable. Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark and Netherlands feature high female representation at the national level during the period 1995-2005. The result also implies that the proportion of women in parliament increases during the current period. The result also shows that political institutions, socio-economic -and cultural factors, are important and necessary in order to explain the variation in female representation. The overall standards that can be discerned of the statistical analyses is that the proportion of women in parliament is higher in countries with a proportional electoral system, high number of parliament members, high socio-economic development (high HDI, GDI and GNP per capita) contemporary as the country introduced female suffrage in an early stage and have a more positive attitude toward female leadership.

Thesis The analysis of the possibilities of selling a family house in Brno, Řečkovice, aims to compare the possibilities of selling RD, as a whole house or by flats.

The aim of this thesis is to define the position of an expert on an expropriating proceedings and creating an expert opinion for these uses. In the theoretical part the definitions connected to expropriation and expropriating proceedings are explained. An expert activity and an expert opinion are defined in other chapters in the theoretical part. Last two chapters deal with transportation infrastructure and evaluating of the immovable assets where there are the established price, the common price and the ways of evaluating. The practical part of the thesis is devoted to the expert opinion in expropriating proceedings. The established price, the standart price of expropriated immovable assests and compensation for moving are set in a comparing way within the expert opinion.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur några röster på Flashback forum problematiserar mångkulturalitet i segregerade skolor i förhållande till skolval. Tidigare forskning visar att föräldrar med svensk bakgrund undviker mångkulturella och stigmatiserade bostadsområden, när det kommer till val av skola för deras barn. Detta till följd av den negativa uppfattning föräldrarna har om invandrarbarn. Studien genomfördes utifrån en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi med hjälp av målstyrt urval. Forskningsdeltagarna bestod av Flashbackmedlemmar som uttryckte sig kritiskt mot mångkulturella skolor och invandrarbarn. Studiens empiriska material hämtades från olika trådar på det digitala diskussionsforumet Flashback forum. För att tolka studiens resultat användes teorier om stigma och figurationen etablerade-outsiders. Resultatet presenteras genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys som tillvägagångssätt, där Flashback inläggen har analyserats utifrån ett manifest och latent förhållningssätt. Slutsatser som antagits är att Flashbackmedlemmar uttrycker en oro över att ha deras barn i en etnisk blandad skola med för många invandrarbarn. Detta med anledningen att de anser att invandrarbarn utgör ett hot mot de svenska barnens psykiska samt fysiska hälsa och skolgång, där främst barn från ett icke-europeiskt ursprung pekas ut som de farliga eller kriminella. / The purpose of the study was to investigate how some voices on Flashback forum problematise multiculturalism in segregated schools in relation to school selection. Previous research indicates that parents from Swedish background avoid multicultural and stigmatized residential areas, when it comes to school selection for their children. This being a result of the negative perception parents have of immigrant children. The study was conducted based on a qualitative research strategy with the help of a goal-oriented selection. The research participants consisted of Flashback members who were selected for being critical of multicultural schools and immigrant children. This study’s empirical material was taken from various thread on the digital discussion forum, Flashback forum.This study’s results were interpreted through the theories of stigma and the figuration of established-outsiders. The results are presented through qualitive content analysis, where the Flashback members posts have been analysed through a manifest and latent approach. The conclusions drawn were that the Flashback members have expressed concern about having their children in an ethnically mixed school with too many immigrant children. This is because they believe that immigrant children pose a threat to Swedish children's mental and physical health as well as their education. Where children of non-European origin are primarily singled out as dangerous or criminal.

Lack of host-specific cell cultures necessitated initiation of primary cell cultures from ictalurid catfish. Cell cultures from the fin tissues of hybrid catfish ( channel catfish x blue catfish) were developed, characterized, and species of origin molecularly authenticated. Blue catfish alloherpesvirus (BCAHV) is an Ictalurid herpesvirus. When BCAHV was inoculated onto various fish cell lines from different families, the cytopathic effects were restricted to cell lines from family Ictaluridae indicating the host-specificity of virus. A virus challenge using channel, blue, and hybrid catfish indicated mortality due to BCAHV was significantly higher in blue and hybrid catfish. Crowding influenced BCAHV pathogenesis indicated by significantly higher mortality in highly stocked tanks. Host susceptibility to BCAHV differed with age. Temperature had a significant role in the activation and pathogenesis of BCAHV. The enhanced virulence of BCAHV in blue and hybrid catfish reveals its potential to be a significant pathogen in catfish culture.

With the advent of globalisation and ever changing technologies, the need for increased attention to information security is becoming more and more vital. Organisations are facing all sorts of risks and threats these days. It therefore becomes important for all business stakeholders to take the appropriate proactive measures in securing their assets for business survival and growth. Information is today regarded as one of the most valuable assets of an organisation. Without a proper information security framework, policies, procedures and practices, the existence of an organisation is threatened in this world of fierce competition. Information security policies stand as one of the key enablers to safeguarding an organisation from risks and threats. However, writing a set of information security policies and procedures is not enough. If one really aims to have an effective security framework in place, there is a need to develop and implement information security policies that adhere to established standards such as BS 7799 and the like. Furthermore, one should ensure that all stakeholders comply with established standards, policies and best practices systematically to reap full benefits of security measures. These challenges are not only being faced in the international arena but also in countries like Mauritius. International researches have shown that information security policy is still a problematic area when it comes to its implementation and compliance. Findings have shown that several major developed countries are still facing difficulties in this area. There was a general perception that conditions in Mauritius were similar. With the local government's objective to turn Mauritius into a "cyber-island" that could act as an Information Communication & Technology (ICT) hub for the region, there was a need to ensure the adoption and application of best practices specially in areas of information security. This dissertation therefore aims at conducting a research project in Mauritius and assessing whether large Mauritian private companies, that are heavily dependent on IT, have proper and reliable security policies in place which comply with international norms and standards such as British Standard Organisation (BSO) 7799/ ISO 17799/ ISO 27001. The study will help assess the state of, and risks associated with, present implementation of information security policies and practices in the local context. Similarities and differences between the local security practices and international ones have also been measured and compared to identify any specific characteristics in local information security practices. The findings of the study will help to enlighten the security community, local management and stakeholders, on the realities facing corporations in the area of information security policies and practices in Mauritius. Appropriate recommendations have been formulated in light of the findings to improve the present state of information security issues while contributing to the development of the security community / Computing / M.Sc.

The purpose of this study is to bring out the social economic residential segregation that exists in Bredäng and in Mälarhöjden by experiences and perceptions from local residents with a qualitative research. The study will also show how these expectations forms from local residents in these districts. Both these districts take place in southern Stockholm. Bredäng, the public housing neighborhood and Mälarhöjden, the garden neighborhood are two districts that was built up during two different eras but has a social economic difference bigger than the geographic distance. The majority of the local residents in Bredäng are low incomes and have a lack of university or college education. The majority of the local residents in Mälarhöjden have a higher percentage of university graduates and the average income per year are twice the size of Bredängs resident’s. The main focus of this study will be to inquire into why the social economic elements lead to residential segregation in these districts, but also in how Mälaräng will effect on this. The main focus will be to examine why the social economic elements leads to how segregation forms from the expectations that exist. It generally occurs similar beliefs and perceptions from all respondents about these districts. The results shows that all respondents confirms that it exist social economic differences between Bredäng and Mälarhöjden with consequences that Bredäng becomes the segregated district towards to Mälarhöjden that is considered the “fancier” district with higher “status”. We have used the concept segregation that is central in this study and two theoretical points, Goffman’s identity and Elias and Scotson who writes about established and outsiders. We use the theoretical perspectives to connect the empirical part about how individuals form experiences and perceptions toward to the opposite district. We also find how identity creations forms from the categories that the individual gets. / Med hjälp av en kvalitativ undersökning är syftet med denna studie att belysa hur bostadssegregation och hur områdets invånare formar föreställningar om både sitt eget område och i jämförelse med det motsatta området. Bredäng och Mälarhöjden ligger i södra Stockholm och är de två områden som kommer att undersökas. Vidare kommer vi i studien även belysa hur dessa står i relation till varandra utifrån lokalinvånarnas upplevelser och uppfattningar. Bredäng, miljonprogramområdet och Mälarhöjden, trädgårdsstaden är två stadsdelar som byggdes under olika tidsperioder men där de socioekonomiska skillnaderna är betydligt större än det geografiska. Majoriteten av de lokala invånare i Bredäng är låginkomsttagare och saknar eftergymnasial utbildning till skillnad från Mälarhöjden där fler är högutbildade samt där årsinkomsten är det dubbla jämfört med Bredäng. Studiens främsta fokus kommer vara att undersöka varför de socioekonomiska faktorer leder till hur bostadssegregation formas utifrån de föreställningar och uppfattningar som råder. Det förekommer generellt liknande föreställningar och uppfattningar från samtliga informanter kring stadsdelarna. Resultatet visar oss att samtliga respondenter bekräftar att det råder socioekonomiska skillnader på Bredäng och Mälarhöjden där konsekvenserna blir ett segregerat område där Bredäng ses som det segregerade området gentemot Mälarhöjden som framställs som det mer ”finare” och området med högre ”status”. Till den teoretiska biten har vi använt oss av ett centralt begrepp, segregation och två teoretiska utgångspunkter varav en av Goffmans identitetsskapande och sedan även Elias och Scotson som redogör för etablerade och outsiders. Med hjälp av de teoretiska perspektiven finner vi en anknytning till det empiriska avsnittet på hur individer formar uppfattningar och föreställningar gentemot det motsatta området. Vidare finner vi även hur identitetsskapandet formas utifrån de kategorier med egenskaper man blir tilldelade.

Pesquisa do Estado do RJ- - FAPERJ / The guiding thread of this analysis is the political of development outlined by the military government under the three editions of the National Development Plan (PND). One of the goals in context of these plans was to enable the colonization spaces demographically "empty" the country through the implementation of projects of colonization in the area that comprises the Legal Amazon acting as a stimulus to spontaneous migration and directing the flow of migration to the region. The goal of this study is to investigate and analyze the causal link between migration and development from a multidisciplinary view of the plots that tell the tragedies of migrants who settled in the border region. The case study was conducted in Lucas do Rio Verde, located in north of Mato Grosso, originating from a colonization project of the 1980s designed to resolve social tensions on the land that began to take a breath in Rio Grande do Sul. When provide voice to figures that fixed in that border is intended to analyze the dramas experienced and shared, and exposing the plots resulting from that process migration. The effort undertaken in this study was to investigate how to construct the representations of development in a frontier area. / O fio condutor desta an?lise ? a pol?tica de desenvolvimento tra?ada pelo governo militar no ?mbito das tr?s edi??es do Plano Nacional de Desenvolvimento (PND). Um dos objetivos no bojo destes Planos era possibilitar a coloniza??o dos espa?os demograficamente ?vazios? do territ?rio nacional atrav?s da implanta??o de projetos de coloniza??o na ?rea que compreende a Amaz?nia Legal servindo de est?mulo de migra??es espont?neas e direcionando o fluxo migrat?rio para a regi?o. O objetivo deste trabalho ? investigar e analisar o nexo causal entre migra??o e desenvolvimento sob um olhar multidisciplinar das tramas que informam os dramas dos migrantes que se fixaram naquela regi?o fronteiri?a. O estudo de caso foi realizado em Lucas do Rio Verde, cidade localizada no norte matogrossense, origin?ria de um projeto de coloniza??o da d?cada de 1980 elaborado para resolver as tens?es sociais por terra que come?avam a tomar f?lego no Rio Grande do Sul. Ao dar voz aos personagens que se fixaram naquela fronteira pretende-se analisar os dramas vivenciados e compartilhados e expor as tramas resultantes daquele processo migrat?rio. O esfor?o empreendido nesta pesquisa foi o de investigar como se constroem as representa??es de desenvolvimento numa ?rea de fronteira.
