Redo att ingripa : En kvalitativ studie om varför människor ingriper i farliga situationer / Ready to intervene : A qualitative study examining why people intervene in dangerous situations

Wassberg, John, Höglund, Niklas January 2014 (has links)
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka varför människor ingriper i farligasituationer. För att bemöta syftet har 11 respondenter med ingriparerfarenheter frånfarliga situationer intervjuats. Det är respondenternas tankar om varför de ingripit sompresenteras i denna studie. Det inspelade intervjumaterialet har transkriberats ochanalyserats utifrån en induktiv tematisk metod. Ur analysen framträdde sexhuvudteman som påverkat respondenterna att ingripa: Instinkt, Erfarenhet, Moral,Empati, Medvetande och Disinhibering. Dessa huvudteman kunde sedansammanfattas i ett kärntema: Handlingsberedskap. Denna Handlingsberedskap kanses som den mest gemensamma förklaringen till varför respondenterna ingripit.Sammantaget visar resultatet på att respondenterna ingripit utifrån olika huvudteman,men att samtliga respondenter besuttit Handlingsberedskap. Det verkar som attHandlingsberedskap är en förutsättning för ingripande. / The purpose of this study was to investigate why people intervene in dangeroussituations. To answer this purpose, 11 respondents with intervening experiences fromdangerous situations were interviewed. The respondents’ thoughts about why theyintervened are presented. The recorded interviews were transcribed and analysedthrough an inductive thematic approach. From the analysis, the following six mainthemes appeared: Instinct, Experience, Moral, Empathy, Consciousness andDisinhibition. The main themes are explanations to why the respondents intervened.These main themes where then summarized into a core theme: Readiness to act. ThisReadiness to act can be considered as the single nearest explanation to why therespondents intervened. In sum, the result shows that, even though the respondentsintervened out of different main themes, they have all possessed the Readiness to act.It seems that Readiness to act is a prerequisite for intervention.

Caracterização do consumo residencial de água na área urbana de Viçosa-MG / Characterization of the residential water consumption in the urban area of Viçosa-MG

Pimenta, João Francisco de Paula 19 December 2011 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2015-03-26T13:28:26Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 texto completo.pdf: 10091122 bytes, checksum: c92b27d810f4f2eaa49b8da3a0b00b4d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011-12-19 / Fundação de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Minas Gerais / The main objectives of this work were to investigate the temporal evolution and the spatial distribution of the effective residential water consumption, total and per capita, in Viçosa - MG, and to identify factors that influence these variables. The following secondary data from different sources (Viçosa Municipality, Viçosa water utility, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics IBGE, and CENSUS - an NGO based in Viçosa ), covering different periods of time from 1996 to 2010,were used: measured residential water consumption, number of residential water connections, and climate, demographic, socioeconomic and residential typology data. These data, as well as the water consumption evaluation, were analysed both on a global basis (i.e. for the urban area of Viçosa as a whole) and grouped into 10 " urban planning regions" (as defined in the CENSUS studies). Considerable differences in per capita water consumption between different urban regions were detected, which were related to socio-spatial segregation revealed by socioeconomic factors in the different regions, such as income and residential typology. The per capita water consumption showed no marked changes over the years, but the total water consumption (global and in the different urban areas) increased, being influenced by population growth. While demographic factors influenced more clearly the total water consumption, the per capita consumption was determined mostly by socioeconomic factors. Variables such as the number of water connections and the building s area demonstrated potential for being used in predictive models of water consumption. / Este trabalho teve como objetivos principais verificar a evolução temporal e a distribuição espacial do consumo efetivo residencial de água, total e per capita, em Viçosa-MG, bem como identificar fatores de influência sobre essas variáveis. Para tanto, foram utilizados os seguintes dados secundários de fontes diversas (SAAE Viçosa. Prefeitura Municipal de Viçosa, IBGE e CENSUS uma Organização Não Governamental com sede em Viçosa), cobrindo diferentes períodos de tempo no intervalo de 1996 a 2010: consumo residencial de água micromedido, número de economias e de ligações de água; dados climatológicos, demográficos, socioeconômicos e de tipologia residencial. Esses dados, bem como as análises em torno do consumo de água, foram tratados de forma global (na zona urbana de Viçosa como um todo) e agrupados em 10 regiões urbanas de planejamento (tal como delimitadas nos estudos do CENSUS). Foram detectadas discrepâncias consideráveis de consumo per capita de água entre diferentes regiões urbanas, relacionadas à segregação sócio-espacial, por sua vez evidenciada por fatores socioeconômicos das diferentes regiões, tais como renda e tipologia residencial. O consumo per capita de água não apresentou variações expressivas ao longo dos anos, mas o consumo total (geral e nas diversas regiões urbanas) exibiu aumento influenciado pelo crescimento populacional. Enquanto fatores demográficos influenciaram mais nitidamente o consumo total de água, o consumo per capita se viu determinado de forma mais clara por fatores socioeconômicos. Variáveis tais como o número de ligações de água e área construída demonstraram potencial para serem utilizadas em modelos preditivos do consumo de água.

Ockupanter och gerillor, kort sagt en hel del att tänka på / Occupiers and guerrillas, in short, a lot to think about

Persson, Karl-Magnus January 2010 (has links)
Uppsatsen är inriktad på den militära delen i upprorsbekämpning och tar sin utgångspunkt i två stycken militärteoretikers teorier inom ämnet. Teoretikerna är John Mackinlay och David Kilcullen, som under 2009 utkom med varsin ny bok inom området, The Insurgent Archipelago samt The Accidental Guerilla. Den metod som arbetet vilar på är kvalitativ textanalys. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka i vilken utsträckning som teorin och doktrinerna stämmer överrens. Därför har först teoretikernas syn på hur en utifrån kommande intervenerande styrka påverkar lokalbefolkningen analyserats. Det som framkommit av detta är dels Mackinlays uppfattning att samtliga styrkor av denna karaktär kommer att betraktas som ockupanter av lokalbefolkningen. Dels Kilcullens uppfattning att styrkan påverkar lokalbefolkningen till att gripa vapen mot dem. Detta trots att även de har en avig inställning mot upprorsrörelsen. Som lösning på problemet för Kilcullen fram bildandet av en strategisk tjänst i likhet med Office of Strategic Services. Från dessa teorier har ett antal kriterier valts ut vilka sedan använts som analysverktyg för att undersöka doktrinernas syn på områdena. De doktriner som har analyserats är Storbritanniens Joint Doctrine Publication 3-40, USA:s Joint Publication 3-24, samt NATO:s i nuläget gällande styrdokument BI-SC Cointerinsurgency Joint Operational Guidelines. Av analysen har framkommit att en viss överrensstämmelse mellan teori och konceptuell verklighet förekommer. Dock att teorin snarare rör sig inom en eventuell framtid emedan doktrinerna är fast inom nulägets ramar. / The essay focuses on the military part of counter-insurgency and is based on two theories by the military theorists John Mackinlay and David Kilcullen. Who both in 2009 published a new book on the subject, The Insurgent Archipelago and The Accidental Guerrilla. The method used in the essay is qualitative text-analysis. The purpose of this essay is to examine whether resemblance between theory and doctrine exists. Therefore first of the theorists view in how an exogenous intervening force affects the local population has been analyzed. What emerged from this is partly Mackinlay's view that all forces of this nature will be seen as occupiers by the local people. Partly Kilcullen's view that the force affects the local population to resort to arms against them. This despite the fact that they’re original attitude towards the insurgent movement, which is the reason for the intervening forces presence, is of negative. As a solution to the problem Kilcullen brings forward the constitution of a strategic service, like the Office of Strategic Services. From these theories, a number of criteria have been selected which are then used as analytical tools to examine the doctrines. The doctrines which have been analyzed is the UK's Joint Doctrine Publication 3-40, U.S. Joint Publication 3-24 and the currently governing NATO document BI-SC Counterinsurgency Joint Operational Guidelines. The analysis has shown that some resemblance between theory and conceptual reality exist. However that theory, rather involved in a possible future while the doctrines are restrained by the framework of the present day.

A Trade Area Analysis for a Hamilton Restaurant Based on Delivery Records

Johnston, Steven M. 04 1900 (has links)
This research paper is submitted to the Department of Geography in fulfillment of the requirements of Geography 4C6. / This study examined the trade area of a Hamilton restaurant in an attempt to determine the relevance of theoretical models in predicting trade areas based on delivery records. Through the use of four trade area models, a comparative study was devise for 'Chicago Style Pizza' restaurant. The findings were based on delivery records. Since delivery records were used, the distance factor that is used in most models is eliminated. The models that were used were a population demand, Market Penetration Model, Intervening Opportunity Model and a Spatial Interaction Model. The use of a Geographical Information System was used to predict surface demands for the Market Penetration Model and the Spatial Interaction Model. It was determined that classical models of trade area analysis had only a slight relevance in delimitating the trade areas of the store in question when compared to the actual trade area of 'Chicago Style' based on delivery records. / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA)

O orçamento como instrumento de intervenção no domínio econômico / The budget as an instrument of intervention in the economic domain

Passerotti, Denis Camargo 23 March 2015 (has links)
Este trabalho versa sobre a utilização do orçamento público como instrumento de intervenção no domínio econômico, demonstrando, em síntese, de que forma o Estado utiliza, ou ao menos deveria utilizar, o orçamento público como instrumento de planejamento de suas ações e de intervenção na atividade desempenhada pela iniciativa privada. Tem-se por objetivo contribuir para a compreensão jurídica de diversas questões atinentes à elaboração e execução da peça orçamentária federal, aos reflexos causados na economia e na atividade desempenhada pela iniciativa privada, especialmente no que toca à realização das receitas e despesas públicas, à elaboração das leis orçamentárias Plano Plurianual (PPA), Lei Orçamentária Anual (LOA) e Lei de Diretrizes Orçamentárias (LDO) e, também, aos interesses, às paixões e ideologias envolvidas em todo o processo financeiro. Para tanto, inicialmente, estuda o papel do Estado, distinguindo os campos de atuação privada e aquele reservado à Administração Pública, os modos de intervenção e aqueles aplicados à hipótese analisada, para, em seguida, proceder à análise da peça orçamentária, sua concepção atual e relevância para a iniciativa privada, o que possibilita, então, tratar de questões que envolvam as receitas públicas, em específico as tributárias e as despesas públicas. Por fim, trata do crédito público e, com isso, procura evidenciar de que forma, sob a ótica do orçamento público e nos limites legais de atuação do Estado, as previsões constantes do orçamento podem funcionar como instrumento de promoção, incentivo e estímulo, ou, em sentido contrário, limitar, frear ou desestimular o crescimento econômico e a atividade desenvolvida pela iniciativa privada. / This paper deals with the use of public budget as means of intervening in the economic control, demonstrating, in summary, how the Government uses, or at least should use, the public budget as means of planning its actions and any intervention in activities that the private initiative performs. The purpose is to contribute to the legal understanding of various issues pertaining to federal budget preparation and execution, the reflection caused to the economy and the activity performed by the private initiative. It especially regards the realization of public revenues and expenses, preparation of budgetary laws Multiannual Plan (PPA), Annual Budgetary Law (LOA) and Budgetary Directives Law (LDO) , as well as, interests, passions and ideology involved along the entire financial process. Therefore, it is initially assessed the Government role, distinguishing the fields reserved to private sector and that to Public Authorities; moreover, the intervention modalities and those applied to event of levy analyzed, to, then, proceed to the budget analysis, its current design and relevance for the private initiative. It allows the address of issues comprising public revenues, specifically, tax revenues and public expenses. Finally, it regards public credit and, it seeks to evidence how, from the public budget perspective and within the legal boundaries of Government performance, the forecast included to the budget may operate as instrument of promotion, incentive and motivation, or, otherwise, limit, hinder or discourage economic growth and private sector activities.

Enforcing Legitimacy : Perspectives on the Relationship between Intervening Armed Forces and the Local Population in Afghanistan

Karlborg, Lisa January 2015 (has links)
Bolstering local perceptions of legitimacy in armed intervention has emerged as an important feature of increasingly complex international peace and statebuilding efforts. Yet, previous research has only begun to explore what local legitimacy entails to those involved in, and affected by, armed intervention. This dissertation advances an understanding of local legitimacy as a perception-based, relational phenomenon. Through this lens, it examines armed intervention in Afghanistan (2001-2014). In particular, this dissertation studies how the relationship between Afghan citizens and intervening armed forces interacts with, and shapes, perspectives on local legitimacy held by the main 'interveners' and those 'intervened upon'. This dissertation consists of an introduction, which situates the study in a wider context, and four essays. Beginning with the organizational perspectives of the main intervening actors in Afghanistan, Essay I finds that the UN and NATO initially conceptualized problems of local legitimacy as principally the consequence of a fragile Afghan state, and not as failings of the intervention. When negative dimensions of intervention became increasingly recognized, principal responsibility for the legitimacy process shifted away from intervening authorities and onto the Afghan state. Similarly, Essay II shows how key U.S. military doctrine, over time, reconceptualized the formal duty of intervening forces in the local legitimacy process, ultimately considering it contingent on, and subordinate to, the will and capabilities of host-state authorities and the local population. Turning thereafter to firsthand accounts from the field, Essay III and Essay IV together contrast personal perspectives on the intervention held by U.S. Army Officers and Afghan citizens. Essay III finds that personal experiences of noncombat contact with Afghans reinforced the Officers' sense of duty toward the local population. Conversely, Essay IV suggests that the local legitimacy of intervening forces became increasingly contested among Afghans, due largely to the perceived intensification of foreign intrusion on 'everyday' life. Taken together, the findings of this dissertation lay the foundation for the development of a new concept, the host-citizen contract. In so doing, it provides a social contract framework to better understand the complex dynamics of local legitimacy in Afghanistan, and beyond.

Made available in DSpace on 2016-03-15T19:40:03Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Maria Madalena Moraes.pdf: 1829202 bytes, checksum: cb799c3d46ee2689db4828a5442c9b9e (MD5) Previous issue date: 2007-03-14 / This investigation on the clinical support to three children with Attention Deficit Disorder / Hiperactivity (ADDH) and complain of learning disabilities has aimed at identifying the resources in psychologist/client relation which the children had as facilitating their comprehension of themselves, and which provided to them conditions to deal with their difficulties. Theoretical basis was divided into two topics: one of them related to the clinical support and interventions, emphasizing the intervening diagnosis proposed by Ancona-Lopez (1987), Ancona-Lopez et al. (1995), and Trinca (1984). The other topic was related to ADDH, based on specialists such as Barkley (2002), and Marcelli (1998). Qualitative analysis was carried out in three phases: Categorization, Categories Grouping, and Reflections on data. The analysis evidenced that intervening diagnosis (1) facilitated the clinical support to children with ADDH and learning disabilities, and (2) pointed out the psychologist's effective intervention in punctual moments, as well as the comprehension of resources that can be used for identifying how the client feels in relation to her/his difficulties, perceiving the moments when she/he shows her/his abilities, making possible to her/him deal with and overcome difficulties. / Esta dissertação sobre o atendimento clínico de três crianças com diagnóstico de Transtorno de Déficit de Atenção e Hiperatividade (TDAH) com queixa de dificuldade de aprendizagem teve como objetivo identificar quais os recursos utilizados na relação psicólogo-cliente que foram para elas facilitadores do entendimento de si próprias e que propiciaram condições para lidarem com suas dificuldades. A fundamentação teórica foi subdividia em dois itens, sendo um sobre o atendimento e outro sobre o déficit de atenção e hiperatividade. A literatura sobre o atendimento clínico e as intervenções enfocou o psicodiagnóstico interventivo de Ancona-Lopez (1987), Ancona-Lopez et al. (1995) e Trinca (1984). No que diz respeito ao TDAH, baseouse em especialistas no assunto, dentre os quais Barkley (2002) e Marcelli (1998). A análise qualitativa dos dados foi realizada em três etapas: Categorização, Agrupamento das Categorias e Reflexão sobre os dados. Os dados analisados evidenciaram que o psicodiagnóstico interventivo (1) facilitou o atendimento de crianças com TDAH e dificuldades de aprendizagem; (2) assinalou a propriedade da intervenção do psicólogo em momentos pontuais e o entendimento dos recursos que poderão ser utilizados para identificar como seu cliente está se sentindo em relação às suas dificuldades, esclarecendo momentos em que se mostrou capaz e que o favoreceram a lidar e ultrapassar suas dificuldades.
