The thesis deals with design of new administrative building, which supposed to serve as headquarters of midsize company with approximately 100 employees. Concept of the building with two overground floors and basement would meet requirements of growing corporate structure, company representation and modern working environment. Rectangular shape of the building allows future dispositional reconstruction and modernization. This layout allows to simplify solution of technical equipment. On the first floor of 870 square meters is facility for employees and clients located including technical background of the building as well. The underground floor is designed as storage, technical background and civil protection shelter. On the second floor are employees and management´s space located. The structural system of the building is composed of reinforced concrete skeletal structure casted in situ. Cladding of the underground section is designed as monolithic concrete walls. Upper part cladding is designed as ceramic masonry walls. The building facade is a combination of smooth aluminium panels, aluminium windows and glass facade with transparent and opaque parts. The main carousel entry is located in the glass facade part.

The aim of the diploma thesis ,,The Availability of Social and Consecutive Services for the Homeless in the Klatovy District" is to determinate the real availability of services in the Klatovy district and the awareness of people without shelter about the possibilities of assistance. Theoretical part explains the terms exclusion, poverty and homelessness (identification, causes, consequences). The theoretical part in the second chapter discusses the possibilities of social work with people without shelter. There are defined participants who engaged in problems of homelessness at the beginning. The work defines the social services, social benefits and the process of reintegration subsequently. The theoretical part presents some housing models - Housing Ready, Housing First and Social Housing in the end. Practical part is the most important part of the thesis. There is the social demographic analysis of the Klatovy region in the beginning. The main section contains research work. The results of the research indicate that the services are available for people from the Klatovy region more than for other candidates. Currently the majority of the services have sufficient capacity, but their permeability isn't assured. Persons without shelter are not adequately informed, most of the information obtain...

This study aims to understand how women’s interactions in online based forums concerningexperiences of violence contributes to practices of sisterhood. Women’s interactions havebeen analysed using conceptual understandings of awareness-raising and sisterhood. Thestudy’s primary contributions are the theoretical concepts: Linear and Circular practices ofsisterhood. The concepts are coined and introduced with the aim to make divergences withincontemporary understandings and practices of sisterhood visible. Circular practices ofsisterhood refer to the traditional practice based on a ‘give-and-take’ relation, with emotionalcloseness. Linear practices of sisterhood aim to delineate how sisterhood can be practices ‘to’someone, rather than ‘between’ two women. Linear practices of sisterhood can be explainedas: A practices sisterhood towards B, with the aim for B to be able to practice sisterhoodtowards C, and so on. I suggest that this change within traditionally central concepts is a resultof a professionalised work and movement towards men’s violence on women.My study is based on eight semi structured interviews. Five informants represented ‘shelterorganisations’, (referred to as formal forums) and three informants who represented accountson Instagram (referred to as informal forums). The interviews were centred around howwomen’s interactions concerning experiences of violence is understood and practiced withinthese forums. This study draws the conclusion that both formal and informal forumsunderstand women’s interactions concerning experiences of violence similarly. This as all ofthe informants understand violence as a female experience where interactions women-towomen has a certain value. All of the informants also describe these interactions as stipulatingpractices of sisterhood. What on the other hand differs between formal and informal forumsare the changes within the practices of awareness-raising and practices of sisterhood in theformal forums. With the support of Jeffner (1994) and Helmersson (2017) I argue thesechanges is a result sprung from the societies will to professionalise the work with men’sviolence on women. / I föreliggande studie har kvinnors interaktioner i onlinebaserade rum studerats i syftet attförstå hur erfarenhetsdelande och medvetandehöjning med våldet som gemensam erfarenhetbidrar till systerskap(ande). Kvinnors interaktioner har analyserats utifrån de(kvinno)historiskt centrala koncepten medvetandehöjning och systerskap. Studiens primärabidrag är de teoretiska koncepten Linjära och Cirkulära systerskap(anden). Konceptenintroduceras i syftet att bredda förståelsen av systerskap(anden) och synliggör en differens ipraktiker av samtida systerskap(anden). Cirkulära systerskap åsyftar den traditionellapraktiken där ett givande och tagande med emotionell närhet står i centrum. Linjärasysterskap(anden) ämnar synliggöra en förändrad praktik av systerskap. I linjärasysterskap(anden) systerskap(ar) kvinnor i ’etapper’, dvs, A systerskap(ar) med B för att Bska kunna systerskap(a) med C. Utifrån min studie föreslår jag att denna förändring är ettresultat av en professionalisering av kvinnors organisering mot mäns våld mot kvinnor.Min studie baseras på åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer. Fem informanter representerade’jourorganisationer’ (omnämnda som formella rum) och tre informanter representeradeInstagramkonton (omnämnda som informella rum). Intervjuerna centrerades kring hurkvinnors erfarenhetsdelande om våld förstås och görs i ’deras’ rum. Slutsatser som jag istudien drar är att informanter från både formella och informella rum förstår kvinnligterfarenhetsdelande på liknande vis. Detta då dem förstår våld som en kvinnlig erfarenhet därinteraktioner kvinna till kvinna har ett värde, och beskriver detta som (olika former av)systerskap(ande). Däremot skiljer sig praktiker, eller ’görandet’, av kvinnligterfarenhetsdelande. Dessa förändrade praktiker i de formella rummen argumenterar jag, medstöd av Jeffner (1994) och Helmersson (2017), är ett resultat av ett professionaliserat arbetemot mäns våld mot kvinnor

Men´s violence against women causes major physical and psychological consequences and is therefore classified as a prioritized public health issue by the UN. The government offers various forms of help for abused women, including support and protection through non-profit women´s shelters. The national association Unizon incorporate 90 women´s shelters that through knowledge of violence, gender and power, offer support and protection to women and children that are victims of violence. This study aims to increase the knowledge of women´s shelters work with abused women. The basis of the study is formulated through two research questions; “How do professionals work to shed light on resistance and the responsibility for the violence?” and “How does shedding the light on resistance interact with the placement of responsibility?” Based on the aim of the study, a qualitative research approach was adopted in which five semi-structured interviews with professionals at Unizon´s women´s shelters were conducted. Through a thematic analysis, two themes were identified; “To prepare the woman to leave” and “To prepare the woman to not return”. The results were analyzed using a relational perspective on power and the power triangle, as well as the concept of empowerment. The results demonstrated that by referring to violence as violence, the resistance of the abused woman is made visible, which in turn leads to clarity concerning the issue of responsibility.

Covid-19 pandemin har kommit att göra en global påverkan och risken för mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer har således ökat. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur kvinnojourers arbete och insatser, samt deras samverkan med socialtjänsten, har kommit att påverkas och förändras av covid-19 pandemin och om nya insatser har implementeras. Studien utgår från kvalitativ ansats där åtta kvinnojourer, placerade i Skåne, blivit intervjuade. Tillsammans med den insamlade empirin och studiens teoretiska val, samt en tematisk analysmetod, ämnar jag att uppmärksamma kvinnojourernas berättelser om pandemins påverkan. Följaktligen ämnar jag att belysa deras tillvägagångssätt för upprätthålla och förändra sitt arbete för att nå sitt mål och fortsätta hjälpa våldsutsatta kvinnor och således förebygga mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer. Resultaten påvisar att det blivit svårare för kvinnojourerna att utföra sitt arbete och sina insatser på grund av rädslan pandemin medfört, samtidigt som de observerar en ökning gällande antalet våldsutsatta kvinnor som kontaktar dem. Kvinnojourerna beslutar sig för att förändra och utöka sina tidigare insatser, men även implementera nya, som de tillsammans med sitt nya tankesätt sedan väljer att kvarhålla när samhället börjar öppna upp igen. Kvinnojourernas samverkan med socialtjänsten påverkas och förändras då de inte längre kan samtala och besöka varandra som de tidigare gjort. Utöver problematiken kring deras samtal med socialtjänsten så observeras även att färre kvinnor placeras av socialtjänsten i kvinnojourernas skyddade boenden. Denna uppsats belyser vikten i kvinnojourernas arbete kring förebyggandet av mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer och hur väsentligt det är att besitta kunskap om krishantering när osäkra tider, som covid-19 pandemi, uppstår. / The Covid-19 pandemic has made a global impact and the risk of domestic violence against women has thus increased. The purpose of this study is to examine whether the work and actions of women’s shelters, as well as their cooperation with the social services, has been affected or changed by the covid-19 pandemic and if new actions have been implemented. The study is based on a qualitative approach where eight women’s shelters, located in Skåne, have been interviewed. Together with the collected empirical data and the study’s theoretical choices, as well as a thematic analysis method, I aim to illuminate the women shelter’s stories concerning the pandemic’s impact. Furthermore, I intend to illumine their course of action to maintaining and changning their work to achieve their goal and continue to help abused women and thus prevent men's violence against women in close relationships. The results demonstrate that it has become more difficult for women's shelters to carry out their work and actions due to the fear caused by the pandemic, while at the same time observing an increase regarding the number of women exposed to violence who contact them. The women's shelters decide to change and expand their previous actions, but also to implement new ones, which they, together with their new way of thinking, then choose to retain when society begins to reopen. The women's shelters' cooperation with the social services is affected and changed as they can no longer talk and visit each other as they previously did. In addition to the problems concerning their communication with the social services, it is also observed that fewer women are placed by the social services in the women's sheltered housing. This essay enlightens the importance of women shelter's work in regards to the prevention of men's violence against women in close relationships and how essential it is to possess knowledge about crisis management when uncertain times, such as the covid-19 pandemic, arise.

La violencia hacia las mujeres en el Perú se ha convertido en una problemática social de atención prioritaria. Según la ENDES (Encuesta Demográfica y de Salud Familiar), del año 2010 al año 2018, los casos de violencia física en mujeres se han reducido solo en un 6%, un porcentaje muy bajo para un periodo largo de tiempo. El Centro de Apoyo Integral para la Mujer Víctima de Violencia, se plantea con el fin de ayudar a disminuir la problemática que atraviesa el distrito de Comas en la actualidad, además de la precaria infraestructura de los establecimientos ubicados en este distrito que ofrecen ayuda a las mujeres e hijos que sufren de violencia. En este proyecto se busca que las mujeres y sus hijos, quienes hayan sufrido de algún tipo de violencia, puedan recibir el apoyo que necesiten tales como asistencia psicológica, asistencia legal, asistencia médica, capacitación y albergue con el fin de aportar a su autonomía y a una vida digna y libre de violencia. / Violence against women in Peru has become a social problem of priority attention. According to the ENDES (Demographic and Family Health Survey), from 2010 to 2018, cases of physical violence in women have decreased by only 6%, a very low percentage for a long period of time. The Integral Support Center for Women Victims of Violence, is proposed in order to help reduce the problems that the district of Comas is currently experiencing, in addition to the precarious infrastructure of the establishments located in this district that offer help to women and children who suffer from violence. This project seeks that women and their children, who have suffered some type of violence, can receive the support they need such as psychological assistance, legal assistance, medical assistance, training and shelter in order to contribute to their autonomy and a life with dignity and free from violence. / Tesis

El presente trabajo de investigación, plantea la construcción de un Hogar Refugio Temporal para las víctimas de violencia familiar en la ciudad de Huamanga, Ayacucho. Para ello se analizó la situación actual de la ciudad con respecto a dicho problema, observando así una cantidad considerable de afectados en la zona, pues son un aproximado de 220 personas; las que se encuentran sin atención en la actualidad, dichos afectados no solo enfrentan problemas psicológicos, sino también problemas sociales, culturales, problemas de readaptación y falta de hogar. El proyecto prevé empezar a ser parte de la solución, con el diseño de espacios que cubran en una medida razonable las necesidades de los usuarios, teniendo en cuenta la arquitectura multisensorial y las diferentes actividades que necesitarán los hospedados para su debida recuperación. / This thesis work, proposes the construction of a Temporary Shelter Home for victims of family violence in the city of Huamanga, Ayacucho. For this, the current situation of the city was analyzed with respect to this problem in the actual context, thus observing a considerable number of affected people in the area, as there are approximately 220 people, who are currently without care. Those affected people not only face psychological problems, they also face social and cultural problems; rehabilitation problems and homelessness. The project plans to start being part of the solution, with the design of spaces that cover the needs of users to a reasonable extent, taking into account the multisensory architecture and the different activities the victims will need for their proper recovery. / Trabajo de investigación

Thesis (M. A. (Social Work)) -- University of Limpopo, 2021 / Southern Africa encounters an exceptional international human mobility. Several studies view South Africa as a host country for a large number of immigrants, particularly migrant youth who come from other African countries. Upon their arrival in South Africa, studies show that migrant youth encounter a vast number of challenges such as being excluded from welfare services of South Africa. It is from this background that this study sought to explore survival strategies that migrant youth in Musina Town employ for their sustainability. This study presents qualitative findings on the survival strategies employed by migrant youth in Musina Town, Limpopo Province of South Africa. Ten migrant youth in Musina Town who are accommodated in shelters managed by churches were used as a case study and were purposively and conveniently selected to participate in the study. Data was collected through face to face semi-structured interviews and analysed thematically through the assistance of the Nvivo software. The resilience, neoclassical and network theories were used to guide the study. However, the resilience theory served as the over-arching theory of the study as it is more relevant and appropriate in explaining how migrant youth bounced back to normality after the hardships they experienced in South Africa. Findings reveal that bad economic conditions from countries of origin pushed young people to South Africa for better livelihoods. However, due to lack of funds, some crossed borders fraudulently for their survival. Upon their arrival in South Africa, findings further revealed that some migrant youth engage in criminal acts to make a living. It was also found that some migrant youth are involved in sex work to make a living. Social networking with their counterparts, street vending, cheap and exploitative labour were also found to be strategies employed by migrant youth for their sustainable livelihoods. It is thus concluded that migrant youth in South Africa are exposed to bad conditions upon their arrival in the country for their sustainable livelihoods. Findings also reveal various coping strategies that migrant youth employ to mitigate their exclusion from South African welfare services. Recommendations which include integrated intervention and future research are provided in this study

L'Internet connaît à nouveau une expansion drastique. En plus des terminaux classiques, il permet aujourd'hui d'interconnecter toute sorte d'objets connectés permettant la capture d'événements depuis l'environnement considéré, mais également le contrôle à distance de cet environnement. Plusieurs milliards de ces objets sont ainsi amenés à l'horizon 2020 à contribuer à l'avènement de l'Internet des Objets (IoT). Ce paradigme, qui étend le concept de Machine-to-Machine (M2M), ouvre la voie à de nouveaux usages tels que la domotique, la télésurveillance, ou encore les usines du futur. Plusieurs architectures ont été proposées pour structurer l'IoT. Leur fondement est basé sur une vision en quatre niveaux : le niveau Équipement, qui comporte les objets connectés, le niveau Réseau contenant les différentes technologies nécessaires aux échanges, le niveau Intergiciel (ou Middleware) qui offre aux applications une couche d'abstraction des niveaux sous-jacents, et enfin le niveau Application qui consiste en l'ensemble des applications concourant, via leurs interactions avec les objets connectés, à la réalisation d'une activité métier. Nos travaux se positionnent au niveau Middleware sur la base de l'architecture définie dans le cadre des standards SmartM2M puis oneM2M. Plusieurs problématiques sont amenées à être (re)-posées dans ce contexte. Nous nous intéressons essentiellement à celle de la qualité de service (QoS - Quality of Service) exprimée par certaines applications métiers. Les solutions proposées en réponse à cette problématique concernent principalement le niveau Réseau. Au niveau Middleware, les standards se focalisent essentiellement sur la proposition d'architectures et de services fonctionnels. Les besoins non fonctionnels, typiquement orientés QoS, ne sont que peu ou pas considérés. Parallèlement, les solutions propriétaires ne considèrent pas l'évolution dynamique du contexte et des besoins. Face à ces limites, nous proposons une approche de gestion dynamique, i.e. durant l'exécution du système, et autonome induisant un minimum d'intervention humaine. La gestion proposée, guidée par des modèles, porte sur des actions de reconfiguration comportementales et structurelles touchant au trafic applicatif et/ou sur les ressources de niveau Middleware / The Internet is experiencing a drastic expansion again. In addition to conventional terminals, it now allows to interconnect all kinds of connected objects allowing the capture of events from the considered environment, but also the remote control of this environment. Billions of these objects are thus led in 2020 to contribute to the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT). This paradigm, which extends the Machine-to-Machine (M2M) concept, paves the way for new uses such as home automation, remote monitoring, or even the factories of the future. Several architectures have been proposed to structure the IoT. Their foundation is based on a vision in four levels: (1) Equipment level, which includes the IoT equipment, (2) Network level containing the various technologies for data exchanges, (3) Middleware level, which offers applications an abstraction layer for underlying levels, and finally, (4) Application level, which consists of the set of applications contributing, via their interactions with the connected objects, to the realization of a business activity. Our work is positioned at Middleware level and is based on the architecture defined in the SmartM2M and then oneM2M standards. Several challenges have to be (re)considered in this context. We are mainly interested in the Quality of Service (QoS) issue expressed by some business applications. Proposals addressing this issue essentially target the Network level. For the Middleware level, standards focus mainly on the proposal of architectures and functional services. The non-functional requirements, typically QoS, are little or not considered. Meanwhile, proprietary solutions do not consider the dynamic evolution of the context and requirements. In response to these limitations, we propose a dynamic management approach, i.e. during the execution of the system, and autonomous, i.e. without human intervention. The proposed management, guided by models, focuses on behavioural and structural reconfiguration actions related to application traffic and/or Middleware resources.

The aim of the thesis is to create a landscape that supports water retention and helps the river Dyje to create a branched, meandering watercourse. The design also deals with the permeability of the territory and the design of wooden objects that respond in function and shape to the created landscape.
