Barnets bästa i fokus? : En studie av tingsrättens domar i vårdnadstvister

Milkovic, Dejana, Dolovac, Azra January 2012 (has links)
The purpose of this law-sociological study was to, on the basis of the District Court's decree to single custody, analyze the District Court’s comprehensive ideas and fall-oriented interpretations of the concept of the best interest of the child and the way they are constructed in connection with the District Court's application of the new law regulation of 6kap. 5§ FB regarding collaboration between parents. Our empirical data consisted of ten decrees to single custody. The decrees were examined and analyzed on the basis of social constructionism as a theory and the idea-analysis as the study's method. Legal sources such as law and its legislative history and the law inSwedenandScandinaviain general, with both domestic and international previous research, gave us initial knowledge in the area which gradually grew during the study. Results show that sweeping presumptions for single custody, with vague connections between single child's best interest and decisions about single custody based on the parents' lack of cooperation, can be glimpsed in several of the judges' texts. The District Court’s ideas/interpretations of the concept of the best interest of the child reach for the most part in the decrees where an individual assessment has been made.

新戰爭趨勢下的空海軍事作戰硏究: 以美中軍事競爭爲例 / A Study on “Air-Sea Battle” Concept by Changes of War Pattern in Military Competition between U.S. and China

李鎮乾, Lee, Jingun Unknown Date (has links)
新戰爭趨勢下的空海軍事作戰硏究: 以美中軍事競爭爲例 / By announcing ‘pivot to Asia’ policy in 2011, the 2nd Obama Administration is moving U.S. strategic center of gravity to East Asia-western Pacific area. Inter alia, U.S. is intensively deploying its conventional military forces on this area in order to check China emerging regional military power by its sustained economic growth, and ‘Air-Sea Battle’ concept is mentioned as a background of the military disposition. This battle concept is now interpreted as a thing to counter-act Chinese expansionists’ maritime strategy has been constructed since 1980’s for regional extension of influence in military. Received much attention from military academia, the Air-Sea Battle concept is recognized as a regular operation doctrine derived from superiority in military technology has dominated war fighting styles of the U.S. military forces for a long time as well as the military has put stress on it by itself and conservative military professionalism. However, war was just a repeated event tackling enemy’s weak points through unthinkable war patterns in terms of its mean and way, and especially the war patterns served a golden opportunity for the weak encountering the strong enemy. Meanwhile, the military cannot adapt to changes seasonably signed its own death warrant and recent asymmetric warfare between regular forces and irregular ones in Middle East shows that point suitably. In the respect, this thesis will identify critical but neglected threats on the Air-Sea Battle and will search for its limitations while expecting China’s spectrum of war at the comprehensive and multi-modal level.

Threat Analysis Using Goal-Oriented Action Planning : Planning in the Light of Information Fusion

Bjarnolf, Philip January 2008 (has links)
<p>An entity capable of assessing its and others action capabilities possess the power to predict how the involved entities may change their world. Through this knowledge and higher level of situation awareness, the assessing entity may choose the actions that have the most suitable effect, resulting in that entity’s desired world state.</p><p>This thesis covers aspects and concepts of an arbitrary planning system and presents a threat analyzer architecture built on the novel planning system Goal-Oriented Action Planning (GOAP). This planning system has been suggested for an application for improved missile route planning and targeting, as well as being applied in contemporary computer games such as F.E.A.R. – First Encounter Assault Recon and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl. The GOAP architecture realized in this project is utilized by two agents that perform action planning to reach their desired world states. One of the agents employs a modified GOAP planner used as a threat analyzer in order to determine what threat level the adversary agent constitutes. This project does also introduce a conceptual schema of a general planning system that considers orders, doctrine and style; as well as a schema depicting an agent system using a blackboard in conjunction with the OODA-loop.</p>

Ex-agregados rurais que em sua maioria usam explicações mágicas para explicarem fenômenos sociais cotidianos. A análise de tal relação foi possível através da observação do conjunto de crenças compartilhadas pelos moradores, e do uso destas crenças, oriundas de diversos grupos religiosos, para explicar a disputa dos moradores por bens escassos, e os problemas encontrados no processo de obtenção destes bens e de adequação à vida urbana. Ao longo do trabalho outros problemas relacionados à relação entre desagregação e magia são apresentados, mas sempre com o intuito de esclarecer as formas através das quais esta relação se estabelece. A partir daí tem inicio a analise da disputa dos grupos religiosos pelo monopólio da definição da Realidade, e pelo monopólio da ação mágica sobre esta realidade. / This work aims to analyse the relationship between desegregation and magic among people from suburbs of Liberdade MG. Most of ex aggregates from rural areas use magic in order to explain the social phenomenon in their daily routine. The analysis was constructed after watching a group of beliefs that came from various religious groups in order to explain the fight for rare riches and the problems that they found during the process of getting these riches and the adaptation to the life in the city area. During this work, other problems related to the relationship between desegregation and magic are showed, but these problems always have the aim to clarify the ways through this relationship occur. After that, it begins the analysis of the battle for the total control (monopoly) of the definition of Reality and for the control of the Magic action on this reality among religious groups.

宮崎駿動畫中的少女意象:戰鬥美少女的觀點 / The Shōjo Images in Hayao Miyazaki's Animations: The Perspective of Battle Heroine

鄭聞文, Cheng, Wen Wen Unknown Date (has links)
當好萊塢式的超級英雄在全球影視文化圈刮起炫風之時,日本次文化中亦有一群「娘子軍」,推動了日本動畫、漫畫的發展,諸如《美少女戰士》、《新世紀福音戰士》,至2011年成為日本推動軟實力外交「Cool Japan」的主打動畫—《魔法少女小圓》,都展現了日本動漫市場被名為「戰鬥美少女」的角色(character)和文類(genre)所引領的實態。這些巾幗不讓鬚眉的「美少女」,是動漫畫中的戰鬥主體,卻擁有別於歐美文化中結合力與美的女超人及女戰士的特質,她們同時擁有戰鬥的能動性,在身體表象上又具有纖細瘦弱、容易受傷的受動性,更甚是成為男性觀眾的性慾客體、女性自我實現的投射。如此對「少女」的憧憬與操作慾,實乃根基於日本近代文化的一種特殊現象。 在日本動漫充斥著色情與暴力而為人詬病之時,宮崎駿動畫電影因其所蘊含的藝術價值而和我們認知中的「御宅動畫」產生一線之隔。作品中披荊斬棘、自力更生的女性形象讓人耳目一新,然仔細探究宮崎駿動畫的人物設計和敘事結構卻與上述類型動畫中的戰鬥美少女特質不謀而合,甚至其作品《風之谷》中的娜烏西卡更被譽為是替戰鬥美少女定型的元祖角色。因此,本研究擬梳理少女文化與戰鬥美少女的發展,並以宮崎駿自1984年起至2013年執導的十部長篇動畫電影為研究對象,檢視其作品在角色形塑上是否使用戰鬥美少女模式包裝其理想的「少女意象」,期以理解「少女」之於日本社會有何種意涵與價值。 本研究發現,宮崎駿動畫除了酷愛以「飛行」強調少女的神聖性,其去性化的純潔無垢的少女意象,更符合近代日本對少女所設下的社會框架,而在敘述手法上卻體現了日本文化中普遍具有的過度男性凝視與母性肥大的主題,從而證明戰鬥美少女實非顛覆父權的利器,反而加深了既有的性別刻板印象。 / While Hollywood’s superhero movies are blowing up entertainment industry all over the world, there is a kind of young female character toting weapon in Japanese subculture and promotes the development of Anime and Manga. From Sailor Moon to Neon Genesis Evangelion, also Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which played an important role in Japan’s foreign Policy titled “Cool Japan” in 2011, the Japanese animation industry seems to be led by this kind of character or genre called “Battle Heroine”. These girls are prepubescent and pretty, but not inferior to boys and man. Although they are different from western superwoman and female warrior shaped in Amazons, they still hold the initiative in theirs fights. In the same time, they also maintain the passivity came from their vulnerable bodies and naive personality. Therefore, the battle heroine turns to be an object of desire for male audiences or a projection of self-actualized for female audiences. In fact, such desire to manipulate young girls, who were named “Shōjo” in Japanese, was based on the culture of modern Japan and became a special social phenomenon in recent times. Despite the fact that Japanimation was condemned by public because of teeming with violence and pornography, it is no doubt that director Hayao Miyazaki is appreciated for the artistic value in his awarded animations and makes a fine line between his films and “otaku anime”. The woman images in his animations can be refreshing because of its independence and brave behavior. However, when we have made a careful study of character design and narrative structure in his works, we may found that there is a coincidence between these characters and battle heroines in otaku anime. Furthermore, Nausicaä in Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is widely regarded as a stereotype of battle heroine. As a result, the thesis was intended to prioritize the development of Shōjo culture and battle heroine animations, and research whether Miyazaki attempted to shape female characters in battle heroine way to show his ideal Shōjo images or not among ten films directed during 1984 to 2013. Moreover, the meanings of Shōjo to Japanese were also discussed in this thesis. Throughout the research, I have found that Miyazaki tended to use “flying scene” to emphasize the deity of Shōjo characters, and the desexualized Shōjo images are familiar to the gender norms made in modern Japan. On the other side, the narrative approach of Miyazaki’s films revealed the exaggeration of maternal instinct and the redundancy of male gaze which have generally existed in Japanese culture. In my observation, these results proved that battle heroines are created to strengthen gender stereotypes instead of subverting the paternity rights.
