This paper describes physical planning of a combined living for senior citizens and old people’s accommodation, the choices of design and how the result was achieved. This paper brings up the question about what the differences in living are between senior citizens and old people, and how this can be combined in one building. This investigation is part of developing a concept. Besides investigating these questions we will make a suggestion of a building on behalf of Smålands Delta AB. The main part of this project is to find a pleasant, functional and appealing solution. The paper describes a planning process from the idea stage to a final concept. A background of the two different types of accommodations is described and visual solutions of our project are presented.

La thèse présente de manière générale le processus d’établissement et de fonctionnement du protectorat Français en Annam avant 1945. Le sujet principal de la thèse est d’analyser le processus de création et de fonctionnement de la Chambre des Représentants du Peuple de l’Annam dans la société vietnamienne ainsi que la politique de coopération franco-vietnamienne dans les premières années au début du XXe siècle. La thèse approfondit les recherches sur les processus d’activités de la Chambre des Représentants du Peuple de l’Annam de 1926 à 1945 dans les domaines de la politique, de la législation, de l’économie, de la culture, et de l’education. À partir de là, la thèse détermine les rôles, les contributions, les avancées ainsi que les aspects négatifs engendrés par les activités de la Chambre des Représentants du Peuple de l’Annam sur la population en Annam et dans la société vietnamienne en général. / The aims of this thesis is to examine the establishment and functioning of The Chamber of the People's Representatives in Annam before 1945. The main focus is to analyse the process of creation and existence of the Chamber of People’s Representatives in Annam in the Vietnamese society as well as the Franco-Vietnamese cooperation policy in the early years of the early twentieth century. The thesis analyses the operational process of the Chambers of People’s Representatives in Annam from 1926 to 1945 in terms of politics, law, economy, culture and education. Thence, the author figures out the role, significance, contribution as well as restrictions of these activities on the people of Annam and the Vietnamese society in general.

This thesis aims to examine the final years of missionary activity in China, with particular reference to the Baptist Missionary Society (BMS). It argues that, contrary to existing narratives, the Society was committed, from the beginning of its work in China, to placing responsibility for evangelism, church organisation and leadership in the hands of Chinese Christians, but that this plan was undone by events in China between 1937 and 1952. The missionary departure from the province of Shandong, planned to take place in 1942, was delayed when members of the Chinese church found themselves obliged to seek additional help from the BMS in order to cope with the destruction occasioned first by the War of Resistance against Japan, and later by the Civil War. The thesis explores the contrasting experience of work during this period in three different North China provinces, Shandong, Shanxi and Shaanxi. It examines the way the BMS dealt with the new developments, and the impact on individual missionaries and their families of working in this rapidly-changing environment. When Baptist missionaries eventually left, their departure was no longer in keeping with the systematic plan of withdrawal devised earlier, but was precipitated by political developments following the establishment of the People’s Republic of China in 1949. Relationships with Chinese colleagues had to be abruptly terminated, and strident public criticisms were levied against missionaries and other foreigners. The shock of this unplanned and painful departure led missionaries and missionary societies to reflect critically on the whole past history of their work in China. This negative emphasis has got in the way of a more nuanced assessment of the missionary contribution during these years.

Master of Public Health - MPH / The HIV incidence among young people aged 15 to 24 years remains a global health concern. Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is the home of approximately four million young people living with HIV, and young people in the region account for about 70% of new infections annually. Over 85% of HIV infections among young people in SSA is sexually transmitted. Therefore, the aim of the study was to understand young people’s experiences and perspectives on HIV prevention in four communities in Zambia.

Yes / Poor people attempting to claim a share of resources in post-conflict societies seek allies internationally and nationally in attempts to empower their campaigns. In so doing, they mobilize the languages of liberalism, nationalism and local cultural tradition selectively and opportunistically to both justify stances that transgress the strictures of local culture and to cement alliances with more powerful actors. In the case of poor widows in East Timor, the languages of nationalism, ritual, and justice were intermingled in a campaign aimed at both international actors and the national state in a bid to claim a position of status in the post-conflict order.

This study examines the conflict between indigenous rights and the exploitation of land in Chile. The conflict is displayed through a public discourse about the recognition of the indigenous people on the one hand, and the application of the anti-terrorist law against the indigenous people on the other. The anti-terrorist law is currently applied to the indigenous group, the Mapuches, in southern Chile, which makes this issue particularly acute. The role of the international community and the international laws surrounding this issue thus play a part in the conclusions made by the author, together with minority rights and the concepts of sovereignty and terrorism. The case is further placed within the world-economy through the concepts of World System Theory by Immanuel Wallerstein.

近年來，中共經濟持續高速發展受到世人的高度矚目，亦被國際公認為崛起的大國。但由於中共生產的石油無法滿足經濟成長需求，自西元1993年成為石油淨進口國後，西元2004年更超越日本成為第二大能源進口國，這成為中共經濟成長甚至是國家安定最大的隱憂。在無法自給自足的情況下，中共採取一系列包含「走出去」等能源供應多元化方面的能源外交策略以確保其油源供應穩定，以支撐其快速的經濟發展狀況。 中共與非洲國家在政治上保有良好的傳統友誼，而非洲豐富的資源能彌補中共能源供給缺口，並且非洲擁有適合中共產品生存的市場，這使得非洲產油國成為中共能源外交的主要對象。在手段上，中共重視與非洲在政治、安全、經濟等方面之合作關係，為求實質加強與非洲合作關係，以利能源外交在非洲國家的拓展。 因此，本文嘗試在經濟、政治與安全領域，以文獻分析法來探討中共對非洲能源外交手段與影響，及中共對非洲能源外交之成果與未來趨勢。 關鍵字：中共、非洲、能源外交 / In recent years, the rapid economic development of the People’s Republic of China(PRC)has caught the attention of the world and is recognized as a rising power in the world. However, the oil production of the PRC does not meet the need of economic growth. China has imported oil since 1993 and has surpassed Japan to become the second largest energy importing country since 2004, which is the biggest threat to economic growth and national security and stability of the PRC. Facing the challenge of being self-sufficient, the PRC has adopted a series of diversified energy supply and energy diplomacy strategy, including “going global”, to ensure a stable supply of oil source and to support the rapid economic development. The PRC has maintained a good political friendship with African countries. The rich resources in Africa can make up for the energy supply shortage of the PRC. African market is necessary for the survival of Made-in-China products, which makes the African oil-producing countries the main objects of the PRC’s energy diplomacy. In terms of means, the PRC values the collaboration with African nations in politics, security, and economy; also, it strengthens cooperation with African nations to facilitate energy diplomacy. Therefore, this study is to explore the energy diplomatic means and impact of the PRC on Africa with the Literature Analysis Method; also, the achievement of the PRC in the energy diplomacy with Africa and the future trend is discussed. Key words: People’s Republic of China (the PRC), Africa, Energy Diplomacy

This thesis examines the motivations of the Chinese middle class members to run for District-level people’s congress (DPC) elections in Shenzhen and Beijing in 2003. It is interested in exploring why the middle class members wanted to run for the DPC positions that do not have real political power in China, and how their behavior can influence political change in China. By systematically analyzing the candidates’ campaign speeches and activities, this study reveals that the major motivating factors behind the middle class candidates’ decision to run for the elections were to protect their property interests and their increasing desire to defend political rights. This thesis argues that the campaigners’ actions in Shenzhen and Beijing will affect the democratization process in China.
