Full textAbstract:
The relationship between ageing and theatre has received relatively little scholarly attention. This thesis focuses precisely on this intersection by investigating the relationship between theatre and the ageing process drawing on critical gerontology and literary theory. The research explores the documentary dramas of Peter Cheeseman by looking in detail at two of the documentaries, Fight for Shelton Bar! (1972) and Nice Girls (1993). The thesis uses a complex bricolage style of analysis to explore what narratives of the life-course reveal about ageing and intergenerational relations in Nice Girls and Fight for Shelton Bar!; as well as discovering what impacts being involved with the Vic/New Vic documentaries have on individuals’ lives and their engagement with their community. The research uses different types of narrative: narratives taken from a study of the documentaries themselves; narratives as seen through the archive, which include alternative stories and discourses to those which shaped the finished documentaries; and contemporary narratives gathered from performers and original participants from both documentaries. The thesis situates Cheeseman’s documentaries in the context of twentieth-century theatre history. In addition, it innovates methodologically by presenting the contemporary narratives in the form of dramatic scripts, with analytical commentaries. The source analyses are taken from an in-depth exploration of the Victoria theatre archive. The thesis argues that this archival material is a complex affective record of the community’s past feelings about ageing as part of the life-course. It is through this layering of analysis that the thesis draws together thematic threads relating to community, family, intergenerational relationships, representation, shifting forms of engagement and ageing, looked at from a life-course perspective. The thesis argues that the Vic/New Vic theatre is a space that licences affective engagement. Consequently, attitudes to ageing emerge through the documentaries even though that was not the pre-determined focus of Cheeseman’s work.

Full textAbstract:
On a rainy summer afternoon a woman turns up on Bernadette's doorstep. Her long, floral dress and brown leather boots tell a story of illfittedness, of shifting in and out of places. Her baby-fine ginger hair spills around her shoulders, too slippery for knots. Her eyes are restless. Flighty like a sparrow. My name is Georgia, she says. I saw you in town and I knew it was you. Bernadette's solititude is punctured for good. Bernadette's sister Andrea sometimes wonders whether they've come from the same stable. Bernadette never had disconnection notices stuffed in her drawer, never spent a night passed out in someone's backyard, got sunburnt, lost track of time, ate so much that she felt like throwing up. There were cracks, no corners where damp was creeping up. But it also made her easy to be with. There were no surprises. And visiting her felt like coming home. Andrea has been singing at the top of her lungs for years and now her voice is hoarse. So she drops in on Bernadette and it's there that she meets Georgia. Shelter is a story about people taking cover from pain and the lengths that they go to, to protect themselvesMaster of Arts (Hons) Communication and Media

The goal of this project was to create a mobile structure in which a suite of paintings could be transported and viewed. When the structure and paintings are arranged as an "installation," they will create a more active role for a "viewer" who could then be defined as a "participant." The participant would be involved in the assembly of the environment and would find more opportunities for interaction in the assembled environment than he or she would in a traditional gallery or museum setting. A description and explanation of the processes involved in the creation of this project is preceded by a discussion of different historical, cultural, and methodological ways by which artwork is or has been presented. Also referenced are different artists and philosophies that informed this project.Department of Art

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1997.Includes bibliographical references (leaf 66).
Architecture is born out of a need for the re-definition and intensification of t he existing physical landscape. An architects services respond and re-define culture and can never be legitimized by the want of form. Architecture is only significant when it is necessary and responds directly to our culture. It is within the nature of problem solving where architecture is given its form and meaning. This thesis is a search for the questions that are presented to us through our relationship with the landscape and with ourselves. The research method employed is an associative branching path where one topic of research branches into another. The responses to these questions are physical in nature and culminate in the re-definition and intensification of the landscape to provide the foundation for the building of a technical school and drug rehabilitation center for juveniles. The research is nonlinear and begins with a site. The site is the edge of a suburban neighborhood in Gainesville, Florida where a fallout shelter was built by a community of residents as a response to the threat of the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.

South of the Anacostia River in Washington DC, the Oxon Run park runs through the Washington Highlands and Congress Heights neighborhoods.
Though these neighborhoods sit within Ward 8 of DC, which is has the lowest education levels and household incomes, Oxon Run park acts as a lively community
magnet, sitting adjacent to the metro station, a vibrant community center, the public pool and multiple schools. One resource that is lacking in Ward
8, similarly to under served communities around the country, is animal care. Pets For Life, an organization that attempts to address this inequity, states "...there
are animal resource deserts—entire neighborhoods with no veterinarians, no pet supply stores, no groomers, and no animal welfare infrastructure. When there
are no veterinarians in a community, standard wellness care is not the norm—and familiarity, experience, and knowledge concerning common pet health
concerns do not exist" 1
This thesis design, Shelter to Habitat, attempts to provide a place for dog care, sheltering, homing and education to a community that needs it. It
pushes the definition of sheltering and provides dogs with a space scaled and intentionally designed for their mental and physical health. The design prioritizes
light, materiality and airflow to create a space that responds to the life of a dog. It addresses the needs of the community and integrates into the fabric of
the neighborhood. The design creates an adaptive building that adjusts to the scale of the dog, while providing a public and private face that addresses the
various needs of the community.
In this proposed dog shelter design, the 1st floor, which faces the Oxon Run park, acts as the public face of the building. This space houses adoptable
dogs, volunteer work spaces, training rooms, and community classrooms. This floor fluctuates the interior-exterior experience by providing a variety of
ways to inhabit the spaces. In the main boarding space, the building design scales to the dog, the main user of the space. There are indoor-outdoor runs that
penetrate an interior courtyard with wide 12' corridors that circulate the space. The undulation of this boarding space limits the dogs direct views of other dogs
in the space, which helps enhance their sense of safety and security. Contrastingly, the 2nd floor acts as a private face of the building, connecting with the 1st
floor through a central atrium. On the second floor , medical, quarantine, and short term boarding spaces provide services to the community for lost, sick or rehomed
dogs. Together, this public-private, indoor-outdoor design nestles itself into the site and provides a safe, healthy, lively place for both the dogs and the
community.

These intentionally designed connection spaces become a very important part of the building design proposal. There a 3 unique scenarios that need to be considers and designed for when it comes to animal shelter. The first is proving shelter that is scaled to the size of the dog. Juxtaposed to this is hallways and lobbies that are scaled for the overlapping and interacting area of dogs and humans. Finally there are admin and community spaces that are scaled just for the human. These 3 defining scenarios led the design to a dynamic, flexible building that serves a variety of needs.

Full textAbstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina VeterináriaShelter medicine is a small animal herd health discipline that is becoming an emerging area of specialization. This discipline rose from difficulties that shelter veterinarians face every day in local community shelters or supporting associations that protect the interests of animal well-being. The demands of veterinary health care when dogs, cats and other animals are housed together are so myriad, that demonstrates the necessity to establish protocols, standards, guidelines and the need to perform scientific investigations in shelter settings. Shelter Medicine also considers the demands of the community striving to find ways to reduce euthanasia and increasing the numbers of animals adopted. This thesis expects to describe the overall importance of Shelter Medicine and its main contents showing at the same time a practical evaluation application in a local Humane Society, in the USA, of the shelter medicine theoretical information available.
RESUMO - Compreender a Medicina de Abrigos - A Medicina de Abrigos, considera todos os actos médicos e cirúrgicos realizados em populações de pequenos animais indigentes, reunidos num mesmo espaço físico. Embora seja um conceito novo, ela assume-se já como uma área emergente de especialização no universo da Medicina Veterinária. A sua origem teve por base, a tentativa de suprimir as dificuldades que os Médicos Veterinários de abrigos, encontravam no seu dia-a-dia para garantirem a sanidade de toda a comunidade de que eram responsáveis, garantindo a defesa e o bem-estar dos animais indigentes. A sua vasta aplicabilidade e exigência de saberes demonstram a necessidade do desenvolvimento de protocolos e de linhas orientadoras, cujos objectivos finais se expressarão na redução do número de eutanásias, numa melhoria do estado hígido e das condições higio-sanitárias dos animais que constituem a comunidade (abrigo) e por fim no aumento do número de animais adoptados. A tese objectiva apresentar e aproximar o leitor a este novo ramo das Ciências Veterinárias – a Medicina dos Abrigos.

Full textAbstract:
The burden of this dissertation is to show that William Sheldon’s somatotype project should be seen as an integral aspect of modernist culture. Sheldon engaged the same problems with modernity and the "Second Industrial Revolution" (urbanization, overpopulation, industrialization, alienation) that confronted modernist poets, novelists, and philosophers. In this I am elaborating Dorothy Ross’s recent metaphor, "modernist impulses in the human sciences" (1994). Both scientists and artists were responding to the social chaos and fragmentation engendered by WWI, by capitalism, and by a science and technology that was often felt to have run amok. Advocacy of eugenics for Anthony Ludovici, William Sheldon, and Aldous Huxley (polemics against "promiscuous breeding", overpopulation, medical and psychological holism, "aristocracy", nobility) was another means of defending conservative values against the onslaught of modernism.
The German romantic, holistic, tradition (the "Goethean vision") in the physical and biological sciences that has been treated recently by Ann Harrington (1996) carried reactionary assumptions and priorities that duly influenced British and American constitutionalists. Sheldon’s quest of the somatotype, his attempt to map the human physique scientifically, was, at least in his case, a means of salvaging personality, character, and soul ina way that was consonant with the aims of German holism and hence, to a Significant degree, with the aims of the nazis, who appropriated the tradition for political purposes and propagandized it in their art. Sheldon’s studies in human constitution possessed the same "value-base" (Weingart) as much of German medicine and psychology during the first four decades of this century. Sheldon’s anti-Freudian position was intended to reinculcate a place for moral character and eugenic breeding in psychology. Sheldon insisted that character was a seasoned and hard-won proposition, as opposed to a cheap jettisoning of sexual inhibitions. Sheldon opposed the sexual origin of neurosis and replaced it with a highly disciplined character-building that was consistent with a nineteenth-century masculine ethos.Ph. D.

As part of a Naval Postgraduate School's capstone project in Systems Engineering, the project team from Cohort 311-101O of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS), performed a Systems Engineering analysis and verified the analysis with the acquisition and partial testing of the Humanitarian Assistance Shelter System (HASS). The HASS was developed in response to a need for a rapidly deployable mid-term shelter solution for disaster victims. There exists immediate shelter solutions for the victims, yet there is no transitional shelter available for the period between the demise of the immediate shelter and acquisition of permanent housing. For example, the displaced Haiti earthquake victims are still living in tents more than a year after the disaster has struck. This report documents the disciplined Systems Engineering approach used to determine the requirements, trade-offs, cost-effective solution, and testing required of the solution to fulfill the HASS stakeholders needs. Due to time constraint, partial testing on the HASS components was done with findings documented as well as recommendation for further testing and future work.

For humans, architecture is a shelter for dwelling. People seek protection and a sense of belonging in their surroundings. Architecture should reveal the time passage, changes in weather and the character of the place in order to make a place for people to dwell. Sunlight, as an abstraction of the sun, can be received by architecture and connect the place with the universe. This thesis explores how to apply sunlight research as a meaningful tool in architecture design. The research focused on two criteria: orientation and identity. Orientation and identity are the two elements that make a location into a place and make a space into a room.Master of Architecture

This report is an organizational analysis of Shelter Outreach Plus (SOP), a non-profit agency in Monterey County providing homeless support and shelter, domestic violence victim support, and women and men transitional support services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with four Board members and 11 staff members to generate an organizational diagnosis using systems theory as a foundation for improvements. A strategic planning session was arranged and facilitated and Board members and key personnel generated five strategic goals. There is widespread passion and commitment to the mission, including long-term delivery of multiple and unique services which positively impact the county. There is little interaction among the five program offices and trust and leadership issues exist between staff and executive leadership. SOP faces fiscal challenges brought on by statewide cutbacks and lack of countywide visibility. Information technology improvements are ongoing and needed and a more decentralized decision-making structure is recommended for operational efficiencies and employee motivation.

This thesis attempts to use the concept of juxtaposed prospect and refuge to design shelter on a large urban site (92,000 square feet). The broad range of scales stretches the applicability of prospect and refuge as a design tool, yet also forges a varied understanding of related (and sometimes synonymous) architectural principles such as back-front directionality, contrast, threshold, mystery, life-affirmation. The selection of a 'healing' shelter for program intensified the exploration of prospect and refuge, as the given user group compelled a particular attention to architectural elements and dimensions at an intimate scale. This precision, coupled with the demands of community space on such a large site, brought into play intermediate issues of continuity and adjacencies and, thus, more incidents of prospect and refuge.

Slow Drip Rock Shelter (23SN777) is a natural overhang located in Hobbs Hollow in
Stone County, Missouri. Wichita State University conducted a Phase III excavation in 1994 led
by Dr. David Hughes as the Principal Investigator. The idea was to explore this site’s eligibility
for the National Register of Historic Places. It was hoped that features from previous
investigations would be revealed to expose the relationship between late Woodland and
Mississippian occupations. However, this goal did not come to fruition. Both Woodland and
Mississippian artifacts were found along with a number of other cultural manifestations, but the
integrity of the stratigraphy was lost due to looting, and features were not found. This site is a
temporary campsite where hunting, gathering, foraging, food preparation, and depositing
occurred as well as tool manufacture and maintenance. All of the lithic and organic resources can
be gathered locally. There was a clear difference between previous excavations and the one done
by Wichita State University. The Phase II report contained intact features, a radiocarbon date,
and pottery. This excavation lacked all of these elements, and it was concluded that this site was
not eligible for the National Register.Thesis (M.A.)--Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dept. of Anthropology

Welfare has traditionally focused on assessing physiological parameters, but over the last
decades there has been growing interest in finding scientific and objective methods to
evaluate emotional states and mental health of animals. Cognitive bias measures have
emerged as tools to assess animal emotion. This preliminary study was undertaken at the
Municipal Animal Shelter (MAS) of Sintra and aimed at evaluating if cats subject to
environmental enrichment showed more optimistic responses towards ambiguous stimuli
in a cognitive bias test. Of an initial group of twenty-four cats, divided into three groups
(Enrichment using Training (EuT), Enrichment using Play (EuP) and not Enriched (nE)),
eight completed the test (three EuT, two EuP and three nE) as the other were excluded
primarily because they were adopted (nine). Latency to reach the unrewarded-near
position was similar in the three groups. More differences were found in the latency to
reach rewarded-near position, where trained cats showed a shorter latency, which could
be indicative of more optimism; Resumo:
Viés Cognitivo e Bem-estar em Gatos de Gatil
Tradicionalmente a avaliação de bem-estar tem-se focado em parâmetros fisiológicos,
mas ao longo das últimas décadas tem surgido interesse crescente em encontrar métodos
científicos e objetivos para avaliar estados emocionais e saúde mental animal. Medidas
de viés cognitivo têm se assumido como ferramentas de avaliação de emoções animais.
Este estudo preliminar foi efetuado no Centro de Recolha Oficial (CRO) de Sintra e teve
como objetivo avaliar se gatos sujeitos a enriquecimento ambiental teriam respostas mais
otimistas perante estímulos ambíguos num teste de viés cognitivo. De um grupo inicial
de vinte e quatro gatos, divididos em três grupos (Enriquecidos com Treino (EuT),
Enriquecidos com Brincadeira (EuP) e Não Enriquecidos (nE)), oito completaram o teste
(três EuT, dois EuP e três nE) tendo os restantes sido excluidos predominantemente
devido a adopção (nove). A latência de chegada à posição próxima da não-recompensada
foi semelhante nos três grupos. Na latência de chegada à posição próxima da
recompensada foram encontradas mais diferenças, com os gatos treinados a mostrarem
latências menores o que poderá ser indicativo de maior otimismo.

This has facilitated a variety of interdisciplinary studies in areas of science, urban planning and engineering, to name a few. Resilience theory presents a foundation for understanding why these changes occur and what their consequences are over time. Ongoing research has shown that the main challenge regarding urban resilience is to broaden its scope by including societal aspects, in this case shelter. This study seeks to lay a foundation for understanding why diversity is important in the function of shelter in a typical South African city.
Diversity is one of the attributes for building resilience in social-ecological systems, increasing their capacity to adapt to change. Diversity spreads risks, creates buffers and plays an important role in the reorganisation and renewal processes of disturbed systems. This dissertation explores diversity in the function of shelter in the Tshwane urban system and how this diversity has changed over time. One of the key functions of an urban social-ecological system is to provide shelter. Understanding diversity in the function of shelter would have positive effects on current housing interventions and perhaps also assist in giving a deeper meaning to the challenges faced in the delivery of housing in South Africa.
A historical comparative study method using qualitative analysis is used in this study. A comparative analysis investigates how the function of shelter has changed in three areas in the City of Tshwane in the last eight to ten decades. Primary and secondary data is analysed to look at how this diversity has changed by looking at physical, financial and tenure-based typologies. By closely examining the history of Pretoria, the study established that diversity increased and decreased intermittently in some areas in Soshanguve, Mooikloof and the inner city. This illustrates the Tshwane urban system?s ability and capacity to absorb successive transformations without losing its essential structure, i.e. its resilience.
The overall objective aims to contribute to an evolving understanding of shelter as a function in South Africa, and why diversity is important within this function. By defining the different financial, physical and tenure based typologies, the study develops a framework to explore diversity in shelter in South Africa. This framework then offers a practical basis for analysing how diversity manifested in the function of shelter in the Tshwane urban system. Defining typologies of shelter is important because it paints an explicit picture about the areas within shelter where there is little diversity across different spectrums (low-middle income, public-private). This then assists policy makers in directing interventions where there is a need or low diversity. In analysing the change across time, one is able to determine where and when diversity increased (why it increased) as well as when it decreased (why it decreased). Very limited research has been conducted to investigate the relationship between housing and the greater urban resilience perspective. Furthermore very little work has also been conducted on which factors can contribute to more sustainable housing from a resilience perspective. This study starts to address this gap and therefore adds value to the very limited South African debate.Dissertation (MTRP)--University of Pretoria, 2015.

Full textAbstract:
This report is part of a bachelor’s degree project in solid mechanics at KTH, Stockholm. It is performed by two students on behalf of the social enterprise Better Shelter, which provides shelters for people displaced by war and natural disasters. The scope of the project is to expand Better Shelters product specifications by providing improvements of the shelter earth anchors. This would allow use of the shelter in areas affected by higher wind speeds and thereby help more people in need of temporary housing and shelters. The earth anchors prevent the shelter from uplifting and tilting by taking uplift forces when horizontal wind loads acts on the structure. Two wind models with wind speeds up to 36 m/s were created to find the reaction forces on the anchors resisting the wind load. The wind models were compared with each other to validate the results and find the largest reaction forces on the anchors. Simulations of the anchors were made to analyse occurring stresses due to wind loads. Redesigns of the current earth anchor were made to find improvements of the anchor shape and reduce the stresses on the anchor. Experiments were then performed to analyse the redesigned anchor shapes in practise. The redesign, calculations and computational analyses of the anchors were done using the programs SolidEdge, ANSYS and Matlab. Results showed that redesigning the anchor contact area with the anchor wire reduced the stresses on the anchors drastically. Increasing the wing size of the anchors proved to be successful for preventing anchors from being pulled out of the soil. This allows better use of the current anchor material volume. Experiments also proved that burying the anchor deeper into the soil is an effective way of increasing the resistance from being pulled out of the ground. By reducing the stresses on the anchor, more materials are available for use. This could be explored further and is a suggested as a continuation of this project. The current anchor material is aluminium, and most aluminium alloys can be used with the redesigned ball joint connection to the anchor wire even when wind forces are large.Den här rapporten är en del av ett kandidatexamensarbete inom ämnesområdet hållfasthetslära på KTH, Stockholm. Projektet är utfört av två teknologer på uppdrag av organisationen Better Shelter, som tillhandahåller tillfälliga bostäder för människor på flykt från krig och naturkatastrofer. Målet med projektet är att utöka Better Shelters produktsortiment genom förbättringar av bostadens jordankare. Sådana förbättringar möjliggör användning av bostaden i områden utsatta för högre vindbelastningar och hjälper därmed fler människor i behov av tillfälliga bostäder och skydd. Jordankaret förhindrar, tillsammans med tillhörande vajer, bostaden från att lyfta från marken genom att ta vertikala lyftande krafter när horisontell vind blåser på huset. Två vindmodeller med vindhastigheter upp till 36 m/s skapades för att beräkna reaktionskrafter uppstående på jordankarna. Vindmodellerna jämfördes för att validera resultaten och hitta de största reaktionskrafterna på ankarna. Vidare gjordes simuleringar av ankarna för att analysera uppstående spänningar på grund av vindbelastningar. Nya designer av nuvarande jordankare skapades för att hitta förbättringar av ankarets form och minimera spänningskoncentrationer på ankaret. Experiment utfördes sedan för att praktiskt analysera de nya formerna av ankaret. Nya formgivningar, beräkningar och datoranalyser gjordes med hjälp av datorprogrammen SolidEdge, ANSYS och Matlab. Resultatet av arbetet visade att ny form på kontaktytan mellan ankare och vajer minskar spänningar på ankaret kraftigt. Ökning av ankarets vingstorlek visade sig vara fördelaktigt för att förhindra ankaret från att slutas upp ur marken, vilket möjliggör optimering av ankarets materialvolym. Experiment visade också att djupare placering av jordankaret i jorden är en effektiv metod för att förbättra ankarets motstånd från att slitas upp ur marken. Genom att minimera spänningar på ankaret kan nya material användas. Detta är ett förslag på vidarearbete av projektet. Nuvarande material på jordankaret är aluminium, och med ny form på kontaktyta mellan ankare och vajer kan de flesta aluminiumlegeringar användas som material även när belastningar på ankaret är stora.

Full textAbstract:
Climate change is a natural cyclical phenomenon and throughout our planet's existence there have been sustained periods of heating and cooling. These periods are often referred to as "ice ages" and "interglacials" respectively. Scientists attributed warms oceans and carbon dioxide released from the oceans as the reason for global warming in the past. However, human activities of the recent past, mainly the burning of fossil fuel has seen an amplification of global temperature at a scale never seen before. This unprecedented change in our environment, as per scientists will have adverse side effects and have a long-term impact in our world. The most likely effects of climate change will be; heatwave, drought, glacier melts, sea level rise, erratic precipitation and erosions depending on a particular geographical location.
The socio-economic impact of climate change could be a severe one too. Heat and drought could have major impact on agriculture, food and forests. United Nations data released in 2016 suggests that by the year 2050, more than 50 percent of the world's population will face a dearth of fresh water sources. It is also predicted that water scarcity will most likely result in diseases, unemployment and poverty. Energy use is also likely to increase with the greater need for air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winters. In cases where a region can't cope with these consequences, mass migration in search of better conditions is also likely. Physical and economic infrastructure will be tested by severe weather, flooding, wildfires and other phenomena.
Data published by the United Nations in 2014 estimated that more than 50% of the world's total population lives in the urban areas and soon that number is likely to increase to 60%. In conjunction with climate change, this will mean more strain on already stretched resources in urban ecosystems. Also, with data suggesting that many people will migrate due to unemployment and poverty because of climate change, it is highly likely urban regions will have to accommodate that population too.
The intertwined nexus of freshwater shortage, food, water and energy security is an issue we are already grappling with today, which is likely to be exacerbated in the future. These issues cannot be reviewed and analyzed as separate phenomena, but rather as a single intertwined phenomenon. The solution of the problem, hence, should be treated as the same.Master of Architecture
This thesis, initially, investigates the phenomenon of climate change, and the likely challenges that it might pose in the future. Sustained periods of heating and cooling is a natural cyclical process, but human activities of the recent past has amplified global warning. This, according to scientists, will impact earth in the long run, and will have climatological and socio economic consequences. Water scarcity, droughts, sea level rise, mass migration are identified as problems that could intensify in the future. At various regions across the world, we are already facing these issues at different scales. This thesis, hence identifies the most pertinent future challenges and simulates those with existing societal challenges. The aim of the thesis is to provide an integrated and holistic plan to address the issues at hand with a view that the approach would also adapt to and mitigate issues in the future. Natural cycles and resources are used as a model to develop a mechanism to create a built environment for a small, self sustaining community. The proposed design is a prototype for a particular climatic scheme, but could be altered to fit other climatic criteria. The scheme through, research, addresses contemporary societal needs and tries to provide a solution contingencies of climate change.

My thesis is an exploration of sacred space in architecture. The vehicle for this exploration is a homeless mission and transitional shelter in Alexandria, Virginia. Homelessness is a constant battle for both individuals and communities, precipitating disjointed and fragmented lives. I hoped to design a dignified urban dwelling where man is able to remember who he is, his purpose, and his direction, while also participating in healthy and fruitful community.Master of Architecture

Includes bibliographical references (pages 49-50).
The focus of this thesis is hydrological disasters and the question it attempts to answer is: how can we design and implement housing structures along U.S. coastlines that fully withstand hydrological disasters? Priority and severity is shown by increasing trends in natural disaster occurrence frequency and damage and reconstruction costs. Cost increase is due in part because disaster events are more destructive, but also because of overbuilding and high housing density located within high risk areas. First, using several literature sources, this thesis analyzes various aspects of natural disaster response and education. This paper achieves its goal to increase awareness about the flaws in government risk management and lack of disaster awareness and mitigation design curricula amongst architecture institutions. As a design thesis, alternative housing models are presented in the later sections. The design process begins with hazard-risk identification and then outlining important building regulations. FEMA Coastal Construction Manual along with other sources were useful in understanding necessary mitigation measures required for coastal development designs. After research, a new design solution is presented. Design inspiration was drawn from similar technology and the need for innovative, resilient, and economical designs. This thesis hopes to use idealized designs to start more conversation about natural disaster defensive architecture.

Full textAbstract:
Each year millions of dogs enter animal shelters across the U.S.; subsequently well over a million are euthanized (American Humane, 2010). Only a limited number of independent studies have investigated reasons for relinquishment of dogs to animal shelters; empirical literature on predictors of adoption versus euthanasia is even scarcer. The primary aim of this study was to use a data-driven approach to identify dog characteristics that contribute to adoption. In turn, the results can be used in subsequent theory building on owner--dog attraction. Data were comprised of all the dogs entering and exiting a Midwestern shelter in 2007. The variable contributing the most variance (17%) to whether a dog was adopted or euthanized was owner’s reason for relinquishment. Having too many animals (18%) was the most frequently cited reason, followed by moving (12%). A discriminant analysis revealed that purebred status had the biggest influence relative to six other variables used to predict whether dogs were adopted or euthanized; it accounted for 29% of the variance of the discriminant function, which in turn accounted for 7.8% of the variance. In descending order of importance, the other predictors of adoption were smallness, being a stray, youth, not having a primarily black coat, medium hair, and being female. Additional findings and implications for shelter and community policy are presented.Thesis (Ph.D.)--Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dept. of Psychology

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which women seeking services of a shelter for battered women in the Southwestern United States were similar to the existing picture of battered women. Supplemental questions were asked concerning the effects of substance abuse, marital status, and child abuse. Information was gathered from records of a sample of 100 women who sought shelter between September 1984 and August 1987. Results were compared with previous studies by Gayford (1975), Giles-Sims (1983), and Walker. Results suggested women in this study were similar to battered women who had been studied previously. No significant relationship was found between the use of drugs and/or alcohol and the type of abuse a woman experienced, between marital status and employment status, nor between the occurrence of child abuse and a woman's willingness to involve the police. Implications and recommendations for future research were presented.

Thesis (MA) --Stellenbosch University, 1998.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The rehabilitation of the Matjes River rock shelter on the eastern side of Plettenberg Bay, South Africa, provided an opportunity to obtain new information on the deposits. A metre wide column was excavated through six metres of shell-rich deposits at the junction of two cuttings made in the 1920s and 1950s and known as the "Apex". A small section was cut into the upper layers in the entrance area. A suite of radiocarbon dates shows the deposits to be between 6300 and 10 600 years old with a possible hiatus in deposition between 9000 and 8000 years ago. The hiatus is marked by a disconformity that separates an upper loose shelly deposit from a series of finely bedded loams. The sequence includes artefacts of the Wilton and Albany industries and the transition between these industries is dated to 7400 BP. In the relative frequencies of Donax serra and Pema pema, the shellfish remains show there was a change from a sandy to a rocky shore environment that can be accounted for by the rise of sea level in the Holocene. There is no evidence that shellfish were intensely exploited and farmed down. As observed at Nelson Bay Cave, Choromytilus meridionalis is more common in deposits 9000 years and older. This suggests that the low sea surface temperatures of the Late Pleistocene persisted in the beginning of the Holocene. Information obtained on the deposits is being presented in educational displays for visitors to the site.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die rehabilitasie van die Matjesrivier rotsskuiling, gelee aan die oostelike kant van Plettenbergbaai, Suid-Afrika, het 'n goeie geleentheid verskaf am nuwe informasie te bekom oar die opeenvolging. 'n Meter wye kolom is uitgegrawe deur 6 meter van skulpryke depositos by die kruispunt van die twee uitgrawings wat gedoen is gedurende die 1920s en 1950s en wat bekendstaan as die "Apex". 'n Klein seksie is uitgegrawe in die boonste lae van die ingangsarea. 'n Reeks van radiokoolstofdaterings toon aan dat die afsetting dateer tussen 6300 en 10 600 jaar gelede met 'n moontlike breek in deposisie tussen 9000 en 8000 jaar. Hierdie breek word gemerk deur 'n onreelmatigheid wat die boonste Ios skulp afsettings van 'n reeks leeme skei. Die opeenvolging sluit artefakte van die Wilton en Albany industriee in en die oorgang tussen hiedie industriee is gedateer tot 7400 BP. In die relatiewe frekwensies van D. serra en P. pema toon die skulpvis oorblyfsels aan dat daar 'n oorgang vanaf 'n sanderige tot rotsagtige omgewing plaasgevind het wat deur die styging van die seevlakke in die Holoseen verklaar word. Daar is geen bewyse dat skulpvis intensief geeksplioteer was nie. Soos by Nelsonbaai grot is C. meriidionalis meer algemeen in die depositos wat 9000 j;;:tar en ouer is. Dit suggereer dat die laer see temperature van die Laat Pleistoseen tot aan die begin van die Holoseen geduur het. lnformasie wat deur die uitgrawing bekom is word gebruik vir opvoedkundige uitstallings vir besoekers aan die vindplaas.
