The main problem investigated is how successful Australia???s citizen soldiers would have been in fulfilling either their anti-invasion or their anti-raid roles between 1919 and 1939. The organization, command, training, equipment, social composition, recruitment and retention of Australia???s citizen soldiers are examined in an effort to discover the solution to this problem. The conclusion reached is that Australia???s citizen soldiers could not have fulfilled their roles, the nature of which was widely debated by British and Australian defence planners because of their differing threat perceptions. Inter-Service rivalry over money also encouraged this debate. Basically, the A.M.F. did not have the equipment and trained troops to enable it to concentrate in time to repel a Japanese raid or invasion. Motor vehicles could have provided this mobility but their expense was prohibitive. However, in other respects the Military Board failed to make the best use of its resources. Slight changes in organization and the command structure might have made the C.M.F., once concentrated, more efficient and better able to fight the Japanese. More attention paid to ensuring that training was imaginative and interesting then might have led to higher retention rates, thereby eliminating the expensive and wasteful requirement for constant recruiting campaigns

This thesis introduces the traditional dwellings in Karacasu within the context of traditional residential architecture in Anatolia / and investigates their architectural and social characteristics. Karacasu is selected as a case-study for its preserved vernacular architecture, which dates back to the end of the 18th century and the 19th century. The architectural and social investigation of the traditional dwellings of Karacasu is based on studying the dwellings as residential and social unit. The spatial and social characteristics of the individual cases that are chosen from the historical domestic context of Karacasu are defined and discussed in reference to the existing conditions and also the changes and alterations that took place according to the functional necessities. These dwellings had social, functional and spatial changes as a result of the changing conditions and the requirements of modern life.

Social mixing går ut på att ’mixa’ befolkning av olika klasser i ett bostadsområde med syfte att förändra områdets sociala sammansättning. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka social mixing som urban utvecklingsstrategi i Köpenhamn utifrån boendes egna upplevelser av sina bostadsområden. I Danmark definieras 29 bostadsområden som ”ghetton” utifrån kriterier rörande de boendes anknytning till arbetsmarknaden, ”icke-västliga” härkomst samt kriminalitet. Semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med 16 invånare i tre av Köpenhamns marginaliserade bostadsområden och genererat empiri kring deras erfarenheter av social mixing. Empirin samt bostadspolitiken som avser att ”skapa en bättre balans i boendesammansättningen” diskuteras mot bakgrund av tidigare forskning som anammar ett revanchistiskt alternativt emancipatoriskt förhållningssätt till social mixing och gentrifiering. Studien identifierar komplexa aspekter av social mixing; majoritetsbefolkningens än mer privilegierade ställning och ”resurssvagas” försämrade situation på bostadsmarknaden; majoritetsbefolkningens försprång i den lokala maktens rum; minoriteters upplevelser av vissa segregerade rum som fristäder; kampen om rummet när fristäderna utmanas; samt flera aspekter som försvårar möten mellan boende och gentrifierare. Alternativa förhållningssätt identifieras från de boendes berättelser. De empiriska fynden nyanserar dessutom tidigare forskning om betydelsen av ’det egna valet’ i relation till bosättning i marginaliserade bostadsområden.

This study examines poor travellers who were on the move during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The focus is the County of Devon, with Exeter dealt with only briefly as it was a separate county. It is shown that the travellers, including numbers of Irish in the seventeenth century and foreign-born, particularly in the eighteenth century, were affected by a number of factors, but that the most important influence on their numbers and types was the incidence of wars. Economic factors, such as food supply, were of some importance, but the economy too was influenced by the effects of wars. Legislation also was found to have had less influence than expected. However, the legislation effective from 1700 did have a marked impact on the documentation available. The main sources used for this study are the parochial documents provided by churchwardens’ accounts of payments made to travellers in need and some of those of the parish overseers. These are supplemented by the records of Devon’s County Quarter Sessions. A combination of Devon’s geography, its strong international maritime connections and the influence of wars and their locations combined to affect the chronological and spatial variations in the numbers and types of travellers through the two centuries.

L’objectif de ce mémoire est d’analyser le rôle de la composition culturelle et économique des écoles secondaires fréquentées à 15 ans sur l’échec scolaire à 25 ans. À partir des données de Statistique Canada (Enquête sur les jeunes en Transition), nous proposons une analyse originale portant sur l’inégalité des chances en matière de réussite scolaire ou plutôt de l’échec scolaire au secondaire à 25 ans. Théoriquement, nous mobilisons le cadre d’analyse théorique de la reproduction sociale de Pierre Bourdieu. L’originalité de notre approche est double. Nous prenons d’abord en compte à la fois des caractéristiques individuelles des élèves, mais aussi de la composition sociale des établissements qu’ils fréquentent. Nous intégrons par ailleurs à ces deux niveaux d’analyse une multiplicité d’indicateurs identifiés comme importants dans la réussite scolaire : multiplicité pouvant être culturelle, économique, sociale, ethnique et de genre. Nos résultats nous conduisent à constater l’existence d’un double primat du capital culturel en éducation dans la mesure où le niveau d’éducation des parents et le pourcentage de parents sans diplômes dans l’école sont de loin les deux facteurs explicatifs les plus déterminants de l’absence de diplomation du secondaire à 25 ans. Cela nous conduit à critiquer la production d’indices synthétiques de défavorisation par les acteurs scolaires : la proportion de familles monoparentales, divorcées ou vivant seuls, la proportion de chômeurs, le revenu moyen du quartier ou encore la proportion de gens sans diplômes dans l’agglomération d’une école. En plus de ne pas contribuer à prédire l’échec scolaire, ces indices pourraient contribuer à renforcer la stigmatisation des écoles. Enfin, nous montrons que le statut de l’école (public régulier, public enrichi et privé), le genre, l’origine ethnique et le revenu des parents conservent un impact significatif après contrôle du capital culturel au niveau individuel et de l’école. / The objective of this thesis is to study the role of the cultural and economic composition of elementary schools attended at age 15, on non-graduation at age 25. Using data from Statistics Canada (Youth in Transition Survey), we proposed an original analysis of the inequality of opportunities in terms of academic success or rather non-success in high school at age 25. Theoretically, we use Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical framework for social reproduction. The originality of our approach is twofold. We first take into account both the individual characteristics of the students, but also the social composition of schools they attend. We also integrate at these two levels a multiplicity of indicators identified as important in educational success: cultural, economic, social, ethnic and gender. Our results lead us to note the existence of a double primacy of cultural capital in education insofar as the level of parents' education and the percentage of parents without a diploma in school are by far the two most important explanatory factors of non-graduation from high school at age 25. The study allowed us to criticize the production of synthetic indices of deprivation by educational actors: the proportion of single-parent families, divorced or living alone, the proportion of unemployed, the average income of the district or the proportion of people without qualifications in the agglomeration. of a school, in addition to not helping to predict academic non-success in high school, could contribute to reinforcing the stigmatization of schools. Finally, we show that the status of the school (regular public, enriched public and private), gender, ethnicity and parental income retain a significant impact after controlling cultural capital at the individual and school level.

Theme that I dealt in my dissertation with, concerns of my hometown Otrokovice and also to the region in which the city is located. Describes the development and building of this place,and especially of city districtsBaťov,which took place here in the 20th and 30 the last century. Under the leadership of brothers Tomas and Jan Antonín Bata here arose ideal industrial town, the only of its kind in the country. This is not qustion just about new town plan, but also a new type of labor and social relations. In my work I deal with not only the sociological impact of this process on indigenous peoples but also a new way of educating young people, the concept of discipline and the phenomenon of collective consciousness. I also asked myself about the sustainable development of Down Otrokovice to the environmental and economic, and their possible future. There is also a comparison with the nearby Zlin, where Bata began the process of transforming. Mentioned town is still the center of the region and tradition bearers of this system.
