Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck är ett omfattande samhällsproblem som Socialtjänsten behöver hantera. Det kännetecknas med stor komplexitet som kräver djupare förståelse av problematiken för att kunna erbjuda relevanta insatser. Det vanligaste beslutet hos Socialtjänsten vid ärenden som är kopplat till hedersrelaterat våld är att individen ska erbjudas skyddat boende för att bli av med våldet direkt. I detta examensarbete undersöks personalens perspektiv på insatsen skyddat boende. Syftet är att belysas skyddat boendes personal erfarenheter och upplevelser av klienter som var utsatta för hedersförtryck. Examensarbetet utgår från tre punkter – den första är personalens uppfattning av hedersproblematiken och skyddade boende. Den andra är fördelarna och nackdelarna med en placering på skyddat boende och sista är samarbetet mellan Socialtjänsten och skyddade boendet. Resultatet visar att personalen har betydande kunskap om hedersproblematiken vilket möjliggör ett individuellt förhållningssätt till att arbeta med klienterna. Vidare pekar resultatet på att personalen identifierar fördelarna samt nackdelarna som uppstår för klienterna på skyddat boende. Sist konstateras ett bra samarbete mellan personalen och Socialtjänsten dock finns det flera områden som kräver förbättring och utveckling. Genomförandet av examensarbetet sker med hjälp av flera teorier, till exempel gräsrotsbyråkratens teori, intersektionalitets teorin, teorin om kön och genus samt teorin om makt. / Honor-related violence and oppression is an extensive social problem that Social Services needs to deal with. It is characterized by great complexity that requires a deep understanding of the problem in order to offer relevant interventions. The most common decision by the Social Services in cases connected to honor-related violence is that the individual is offered sheltered accommodation in order to get rid of the violence immediately. In this degree project, the staff's perspective on the sheltered housing initiative is examined. The aim is to shed light on the experience of protected accommodation staff and the experience of clients who were exposed to honor oppression. The thesis is based on three points - the first is the staff's perception of the honor problem and sheltered accommodation. The second is the advantages and disadvantages of placement in sheltered housing and the last is the cooperation between Social Services and the sheltered housing. The result shows that the staff has significant knowledge of the honor problem, which enables an individual approach to working with the clients. Furthermore, the results indicate that the staff identify the advantages and disadvantages that arise for the clients in the sheltered accommodation. Finally, there is good cooperation between the staff and Social Services, however, there are several areas that require improvement and development. The completion of degree work is done with the help of several theories, for example the theory of grassroots bureaucrats, the theory of intersectionality, the theory of sex and gender and the theory of power.

Le nomadisme numérique, le style de vie emprunté par les célèbres nomades numériques, est souvent présenté dans les médias sociaux et classiques comme idéal, glamour et accessible à tous. Ce mémoire nuance ce portrait en se basant sur une série d’entretiens avec des nomades numériques expérimentés ; le nomadisme numérique, ainsi que le sédentarisme actuel, comporte des avantages et des inconvénients pour l’individu qui l’emprunte. Ces avantages et inconvénients dépendent de la façon dont l’individu pratique le nomadisme numérique : les destinations fréquentées, le type de logement utilisé, la fréquence des voyages, la situation conjugale de l’individu et son sexe dans une certaine mesure. De même, la pratique du nomadisme numérique est permise par certains facteurs et n’est pas accessible à tous : célibat, salaire dans une monnaie avantageuse, une ou plusieurs activités professionnelles appropriées, une personnalité « aventureuse » Le manque de responsabilités familiales et d’économies avant le départ sont des caractéristiques que tous les participants avaient avant de devenir nomades. Ces mêmes facteurs signifient que le nomadisme numérique n’est pas durable à très long terme ; aucun des participants interrogés, à l’exception d’un, ne s’est considéré comme nomade pour le reste de sa vie. La plupart d’entre eux se considèrent comme un nomade numérique saisonnier et ont un « chez-soi » dans leur pays d’origine ou ailleurs, parfois donné des désirs personnels, comme fonder une famille, considérée comme incompatible avec le nomadisme numérique par certains. / Digital nomadism, the lifestyle borrowed by the famous digital nomads, is often presented in social and classic media as ideal, glamorous and accessible to all. This study, based on a series of interviews with experienced digital nomads, nuances this portrait; digital nomadism, like current sedentarism, involves advantages and disadvantages. These depend on how he or she practices digital nomadism: the destinations frequented, the type of housing used, the frequency of travel, the marital situation of the individual and his gender to some extent. Similarly, the practice of digital nomadism is permitted by certain factors and is not accessible to all: being single, receiving a salary in an advantageous currency, one or more appropriate professional activities, an “adventurous” personality, flexibility, lack of financial obligations, lack of family responsibilities and savings before departure are characteristics that all participants had before they became nomads. These same factors mean that digital nomadism is not sustainable in the very long term; none of the participants interviewed, apart from one, saw themselves as nomadic for the rest of their lives. Most consider themselves to be seasonal digital nomads and to have a home base in their home country or elsewhere; sometimes given personal desires, such as starting a family, are seen as incompatible with digital nomadism by some.

過去，我們常以旁觀者的觀點出發，以局外人的角度設想身心障礙者所面對的問題，對身心障礙者的了解十分有限。不當的對待或歧視，往往限制了身心障礙者的生存機會，使其處於弱勢中的弱勢，導致身心障礙者及其家庭陷於重重困境之中。 鑒於過去研究對於身心障礙者之統計資訊的缺乏，以及個案分析難以釐清人口群之特徵，本研究著眼於解析障礙圖像，並以不同生命階段可能面對之危機及重要生命事件做為切入的角度，探討身心障礙者在過去三十餘年生存機會與社會適應之差異。由於公務統計之資訊無法呈現細部的障礙者生命歷程，本研究輔以身心障礙國民生活需求調查資料，釐清導致障礙的時點對障礙者可能產生的影響，並分析其需求與福利資源之契合度，以檢討政策施行對身心障礙者造成行為或生存機會的改變。 研究使用民國101年（2012）內政部統計處社會經濟資料庫，以及衛生福利部之統計資訊為主，透過地理資訊系統的呈現，描繪出身心障礙者的分布狀況，以及資源分配的情況。有關生存機會的差異，採用民國99年人口及住宅普查全臺閩地區資料與民國100年身心障礙者生活狀況調查原始資料相互對照，以不同生命歷程作為主要的軸線，釐清障礙者與非障礙者的生存機會（就學、就業、婚育）與多元差異。 研究發現，都會區的障礙人口龐大，偏鄉、山地區域的障礙人口佔總人口比例卻十分驚人。身心障礙者之教育程度較低、成為非勞動力的比例較高，此外，身心障礙者較一般人不易進入婚姻，在進入婚姻後，又曝露於更高的離婚風險。從不同致障時間來看，先天致障者面臨較低的教育、婚育機會，但是在就業部分沒有較大的差異；智能障礙者、慢性精神病患者面臨各種機會的弱勢，然而，兩者致障的時間卻有不一樣的情境；自閉症則是在婚育機會中與智能障礙者同等弱勢，但是在教育和就業面向則有較好的表現。 研究建議，障礙發生的時程反映不同的情境，如以同一套的處遇模式，是無法滿足障礙者的需求。在地方資源分配不均的情況下，應考量福利介入最佳的時點與資源，改善身心障礙者不利的處境，增強其社會適應之可能。 / In the past, misunderstanding of people with disabled resulted in improper treatment or discrimination. This perspective of an outsider vision limited their life chances, and their families were caught in a predicament. Given the lack of previous studies for the disabilities of statistical information, as well as case studies is difficult to clarify the characteristics of population groups, this study focuses on displaying maps of disability, and exploring different life courses in which people may be in face of crisis and major life events. Since the official statistics of the information cannot render detail of life course, researcher supplemented by survey data, to clarify the impact on the time of becoming disabled, to analyze the fitness of welfare resources and needs, and to review the implementation of the policy. Research on the use of the Republic of China 101 years (2012) at the Ministry of the Interior statistics socio-economic database, as well as the Ministry of Health and Welfare statistics information mainly through geographic information system, depicting the distribution of people with disabilities, and the distribution of resources. Researcher also use the data of Republic of China 2010 Population and Housing Census in Taiwan and Fujian area, and 2011 Physically and Mentally Disabled Citizens Living and Demand Assessment Survey to clarify differences life chances about education, employment, marriage and child rearing. The study found that a large number of people with disability live in urban area; however, the proportion of disability is alarming in mountainous regions and rural area. People with disability are lower educated, have less chances to become labor forces. In addition, compared with people without disability, people with disability have less chances to get married. Even getting married, they are easier to be divorced. People born to be disabled are lower educated, have less chances to get married and to have babies, compared with those who are not born to be disabled. People with mentally disability and chronic psychosis face disadvantaged opportunities, but their time of being disabled are totally different. People with autism and mentally disability have less chances of getting married and having babies, but the former with higher educated and higher chances to be employed. Research suggested that the time of becoming disability reflecting different situations. As a result, we have to concern the life course and timing of becoming disabled, and to provide appropriate resources for people with disability. Owing to uneven distribution of resources, we should consider the welfare of the best intervention point with the right resources to improve the well-being of people with disability and enhance their social adaptation.

The dissertation involves an investigation into home schooling in South Africa as an alternative to institutionalised schooling. This is done by means of qualitative research techniques, whereby an ethnographic study of a single home-schooling family takes place. This study occurs against the background established by a comprehensive literature review of the context, nature, scope and current issues of the home-schooling movement, in selected international countries as well as in South Africa. The study investigates the modus operandi of a home school in an attempt to explore actual practice and to uncover primary data. Limited recommendations for home schooling on the basis of the literature study and the specific qualitative inquiry are made. / Educational Studies / M. Ed.(Comparative Education)

The aim of the study was to describe the perceptions of critical care nurses concerning family witnessed resuscitation, presenting arguments for or against the practice thereof. A quantitative, descriptive and exploratory approach was used. For the study, a non- probability convenience sample of 100 critical care nurses from five critical care units were used. A combined open-ended and closed-ended questionnaire was used. The majority of critical care nurses in the study disapproved of the idea of family witnessed resuscitation. They believed it to be traumatic for relatives, threatening to the resuscitation process and increasing litigation. Although the dominant feeling was one of disapproval, some critical care nurses felt that family witnessed resuscitation was beneficial to relatives. Recommendations for future practice included incorporation of educational programmes for critical care nurses concerning family witnessed resuscitation and providing training to deal with the stresses of family witnessed resuscitation. / Health Studies / M.A (Health Studies)

The subject of this thesis is to describe the approach of the state and the non-profit sector to education of Romani children in Eastern Slovakia. The theoretical part is focused on the approach of state, from pre-school through elementary school. The second chapter is devoted to the concept of social disadvantages and definitions of children coming from this type of environment. It clarifies known concepts such as zero class, preparatory class, teacher assistant and a full-day educational system, related to primary education and pupils from socially disadvantaged environment. The practical part is specifically dedicated to a single non-profit organization working in eastern Slovakia, ETP Slovakia - Center for Sustainable Development, with a description of the organization and their projects. Qualitative research was conducted using semi-structured interviews.

Relative global positioning system (GPS) navigation is currently used for autonomous rendezvous and docking of two spacecraft as well as formation flying applications. GPS receivers deliver measurements to flight software that use this information to determine estimates of the current states of the spacecraft. The success of autonomous proximity operations in the presence of an uncertain environment and noisy measurements depends primarily on the navigation accuracy. This thesis presents the implementation and calibration of a spaceborne GPS receiver model, a visibility analysis for multiple GPS antenna cone angles, the implementation of four different extended Kalman filter architectures and a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of each filter used for relative GPS navigation. A spaceborne GPS model is developed to generate simulated GPS measurements for a spacecraft located on any orbit around the Earth below the GPS constellation. Position and velocity estimation algorithms for GPS receivers are developed and implemented. A visibility analysis is performed to determine the number of visible satellites throughout the duration of the rendezvous. Multiple constant fields of view are analyzed and results compared to develop an understanding of how the GPS constellation evolves during the proximity operations. The comparison is used to choose a field of view with adequate satellite coverage. The advantages and disadvantages of the relative navigation architectures are evaluated based on a trade study involving several parameters. It is determined in this thesis that a reduced pseudorange filter provides the best overall performance in both relative and absolute navigation with less computational cost than the slightly more accurate pseudorange lter. A relative pseudorange architecture experiences complications due to multipath rich environments and performs well in only relative navigation. A position velocity architecture performs well in absolute state estimation but the worst of the four filters studied in relative state estimation.
