Dagligen rapporteras om terrordåd runt om i världen; skolskjutningar, bombningar, massakrer. Denna uppsats ämnar visa på hur människor i vår omgivning kan drivas till att begå terrordåd och utgår från en analys av en bok som beskriver en ung mans radikalisering in i IS. Dels analyseras radikaliseringen utifrån Moghaddams trappa till terrorism och dels utifrån McCauley och Moskalenkos tvåpyramidsmodell. Boken som ligger till grund för analysen är Ingen plats för mig, skriven av författaren och journalisten Katia Wagner, som under ett av sina uppdrag i Norge mötte den unge tunisiern Ghazi. En hermeneutisk analys av händelseförloppet utifrån de bägge modellerna visar att modellerna på olika sätt belyser viktiga etapper i radikaliseringen av Ghazi. Uppsatsen resultat visar tydligt att radikaliseringen av Ghazi fungerat som en process där han successivt socialiserats in i en världsbild som bland annat betonat dualism, ett starkt kategoriserat tänkande och en skiftning i moralisk uppfattning.

This thesis reports the results of a project which identified differences in characteristics of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument user groups as they related to their perceptions of how they experience the Monument as recreationists. It explored opinions of four groups: hikers vs. hunters and pre-designation users vs. post-designation users. Responses of these groups were compared for attribution of perceived resource damage, feelings of crowding, acceptability of management action, and importance of identified monument values to their visit. In addition, characteristics of the users were examined to determine if demographic characteristics accounted for differences in perception toward the resources. Finally, how these groups perceived grazing livestock and multiple uses on the monument was examined. Significant differences were found between most categories in hunters and hikers. Predesignation visitors and post-designation visitors differed only in a few categories.

I detta examensarbete har en studie utförts för att ta fram och jämföra metoder att modellera krökta vangstycken av stål med komplexa geometrier i programmet Tekla Structures. Avgränsningen för studien har varit att jämföra två metoder: Metod 1 använder verktygen Complex Polybeam Creation i kombination med Surface Generation Between Polybeams i Tekla, och Metod 2 trappverktyget Spiral Staircase. En vindeltrappa från projektet Patienten och Princeton, Sankt Eriks ögonsjukhus i Hagastaden, har använts för att testa de komplexa geometrier som denna vindeltrappa medför. Utifrån detta har Tutorials av de båda metoderna skapats, för att läsaren enkelt ska kunna följa och genomföra samma steg. Resultatet av examensarbetet är att båda metoderna fungerar för modellering, beroende på vilken typ av geometri som skapas. Efter modellering med trappverktyget Spiral Staircase gick det inte att ta fram korrekta tillverkningsritningar av de horisontella plåtarna, till skillnad från Metod 1. Slutsatsen av studien är att vid enbart snabb modellering av cirkulära geometrier samt framtagning av tillverkningsritningar för vertikala krökta plåtar, kan med fördel Metod 2 användas. Däremot vid framtagning av tillverkningsritningar av komplexa och icke cirkulära geometrier lämpar sig Metod 1 bäst. / In this thesis, a study has been conducted to develop and compare methods of modeling curved stringer made of steel with complex geometries in the Tekla Structures program. The delimitation of the study has been to compare two methods: Method 1 uses the Complex Polybeam Creation tools in combination with Surface Generation Between Polybeams in Tekla, and Method 2 uses the tool Spiral Staircase. A spiral staircase from the project Patienten and Princeton, Sankt Eriks Eye Hospital in Hagastaden, Stockholm, has been used to test the complex geometries that this spiral staircase entails. Based on this, Tutorials of the two methods have been created, so that the reader can easily follow and implement the same steps. The result of this thesis is that both methods work for modeling, depending on the type of geometry that is created. After modeling with the tool Spiral Staircase, correct manufacturing drawings of the horizontal plates could not be obtained, unlike Method 1. The conclusion of the study is that with only rapid modeling of circular geometries as well as production of manufacturing drawings for vertical curved plates, Method 2 can be used with advantage. However, in the production of manufacturing drawings of complex and non-circular geometries, Method 1 is best suited.

Homelessness is a widespread social problem in Sweden. The phenomenon of homelessness is a complex subject area that involves several challenges and difficulties. In Sweden, the staircase model prevails within the Social Services work to counteract homelessness. Of this, Housing-first emerged as a counter-critique of the staircase model. The questions we have asked in this study are what difficulties and obstacles models face in practice, and how the work process from the staircase model to Housing-first can look like. The method in this work has been a systematic literature study of previous research material. The results have shown that Housing-first model has had good results in Sweden. Furthermore, the results have shown that it is difficult to exclude the staircase model in the current homelessness work. The results show that Housing-first model is cost-effective and that it leads to better living conditions for the individual. The Housing-first model has proved to have long-lasting effects, and many have remained living in their apartments for several years. Furthermore, this work will shed light on the difficulties and obstacles the model may face in the implementation of homelessness work in Sweden. And what a potential transition can look like, from the staircase model to the Housing-first model.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Leandro Cardoso da Silva.pdf: 4262718 bytes, checksum: ac43795cdc56049895a5038a95097702 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-01-27 / Mounts are considered structural parts. Generally, mounts utilize metals such as aluminum and steel. These metals have high fatigue strength and its degradation temperature transmitted by the engines is very small. This work aimed to study the replacement of the aluminum mounts engine by glass fiber reinforced polyamide composite in order to reduce the mass. Polyamide reinforced with fiberglass is the choice that offers the best compromise of a recyclable material, with adequate thermal and fatigue resistance. The composite used was the commercial polyamide PA66 with 0%, 30%, 35%, 50% glass fiber. This study will focus mainly on the fatigue properties of the composite at temperatures of engine operation. The fatigue tests of the composite with glass fiber additions were performed on flexure specimens at 120°C. The fatigue behavior of the composite was analyzed using the staircase method. The results obtained in fatigue tests showed that the polyamide with 50% glass fiber has the lowest deflection. The observations of the fracture surfaces of the tested specimens were made by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). These observations by SEM showed an excellent adhesion of glass fiber in the polyamide. Analyzes will also be conducted by simulation using the Finite Element Method (FEM) from fatigue results and the conditions of use of the component. The comparison by the FEM of the mounts manufactured of glass fiber reinforced polyamide composite and of aluminum alloy indicated similar results with respect to stress levels. The fatigue tests results and of the simulation by finite element method showed a good possibility of substitution of the aluminum alloy by glass fiber reinforced polyamide composite in the mounts, with a reduction in weight of 0.2 kg (32%). / Os coxins são considerados dentro das classificações automobilísticas como peças estruturais. Geralmente, os coxins utilizam metais como o alumínio e o aço em seus suportes. Esses metais oferecem grande resistência à fadiga e sua degradação na temperatura transmitida pelos motores é muito pequena. Devido à necessidade de diminuir a massa e reduzir o custo, este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar a substituição do suporte de alumínio do coxim do motor pelo compósito de poliamida reforçado com fibra de vidro. O compósito de poliamida é a escolha que melhor oferece o compromisso de um material reciclável, com resistência térmica e à fadiga, devido às suas propriedades mecânicas serem comparáveis às do alumínio. O compósito utilizado foi à poliamida comercial PA 6.6 com 0%, 30%, 35%, 50% de fibra de vidro. Este estudo focará principalmente nas propriedades em fadiga do compósito nas temperaturas de trabalho e nas análises de simulação decorrentes das propriedades obtidas e das condições de utilização do componente. Os ensaios de fadiga do compósito de poliamida com adições de porcentagens variadas de fibra de vidro foram executados em corpos de prova do tipo de flexão a 120°C. O comportamento em fadiga do compósito foi analisado utilizando-se o método staircase. As observações das superfícies de fratura dos corpos de prova ensaiados foram feitas por microscopia eletrônica de varredura e evidenciaram a excelente aderência da poliamida na fibra de vidro. Os resultados obtidos nos ensaios de fadiga, esforços máximos e esforços excepcionais permitiram concluir que o compósito de poliamida com 50% de fibra de vidro apresenta a menor deflexão. A comparação pelo Método de Elementos Finitos do suporte do coxim do motor em compósito de poliamida com reforço de fibra de vidro e da liga de alumínio indicou, de uma maneira geral, resultados similares com relação aos níveis de tensão. Contudo, os valores de deflexão apresentaram valores sistematicamente maiores no compósito. Os resultados dos ensaios mostram um bom comportamento do compósito de poliamida, dando indícios sobre a viabilidade de utilização na substituição da liga de alumínio, com uma redução em massa de 0,2 kg (32%).

Doppelt diffusive Konvektion im Fingerregime wurde mittels einer elektrochemischen Zelle untersucht. Kupferionen bilden die destabilisierende und Temperatur die stabilisierende Komponente. In diesen System existieren Finger und thermohaline Treppen, obwohl die Gesamtdichtestratifizierung instabil ist. Fingerströmung wird durch Konvektionsrollen ersetzt, wenn die Konvektion schnell genug ist um Temperaturdiffusion zwischen den Fingern zu unterbinden, bzw. wenn die thermische Auftriebskraft 1/30 der chemischen Auftriebskraft beträgt. Am Übergang ist der Ionentransport größer, als ohne stabilisierenden Temperaturgradienten.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine psychological processes that can contribute to religiously motivated violence from a psychology of religion perspective in relation to the collective meaning-system of the Christian militant anti-abortion movement the Army of God. The study applied a single-case design and the data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 3 prominent figures within Army of God, as well as through 43 qualitative documents and 4 autobiographical books. The collected data was analyzed through a deductive approach, implementing the concept of sanctification, social identity theory, selective moral disengagement, and the Staircase to Terrorism model. The results show that the collective meaning-system of the Army of God can be understood as a form of religious fundamentalism that acts as a frame that binds the members together, and from which social categorization and group identification can induce acts of violence. The results also demonstrate that abortion is perceived as a grave injustice and destruction of something sacred, and how it leads to a moral outrage and aggression by constituting a threat towards one’s social identity. This threat moves the individuals towards a ‘black-and-white’ and ‘the ends justify the means’ mentality. The act of violence is further prompted by a perceived duty from God and facilitated by a dehumanization of the perceived enemy. The findings of the study address the need of primary empirical data in the psychological research of violent extremism. Furthermore, it brings further knowledge regarding religiously motivated violence and leaderless resistance by taking into account the search for significance and sacred values. In contrast to previous research the current study also demonstrates that a leader or a well-structured group is not necessarily a key factor when explaining religiously motivated violence from a social psychological perspective. This can contribute to the theoretical understanding regarding social identity and a collective meaning-making in relation to violent extremism and lone-wolf terrorism.
