Jacobsen, Malene H. "UNSETTLING REFUGE: SYRIAN REFUGEES’ ACCOUNT OF LIFE IN DENMARK." UKnowledge, 2019. https://uknowledge.uky.edu/geography_etds/62.
Full textAbstract:
This doctoral dissertation examines the lived experiences of refuge in Denmark from the perspectives of Syrian refugees. Situated within feminist political geography, it moves beyond examining geopolitics merely from the perspective of the law, the state, and policy makers. Instead, it seeks to grasp the ways in which geopolitics are encountered, experienced, and negotiated on the ground – by the people who are most affected by state policies and practices. It draws on more than ten months of ethnographic fieldwork in Denmark with Syrian refugees, including semi-structured interviews, focus groups, and participant observations, as well as interviews with state and non-state actors providing assistance to Syrian refugees in Jordan. This dissertation brings insights from feminist political geography into conversation with those from critical refugee studies, border studies, geographies of law, and postcolonial studies in order to unsettle core ideas and terms of reference surrounding what refuge is and how it is practiced.
This dissertation makes three distinct but closely related arguments. First, focusing on family reunification of refugees and how this form of protection became a target in the Danish state’s efforts to prevent refugee immigration, I argue that the geopolitics of refuge needs to be examined in a way that includes but also moves beyond the actual territorial border line as well as the legal border (i.e. the moment a person obtains protection and legal status). Second, through an examination of Syrian refugees’ everyday encounters with the Danish state, I draw attention to the disjunctures between idealized notions of refuge with its ostensible ‘humanitarian’ ethos and the practical articulations of refuge as manifested in the everyday lived experiences of refugees. This is what I term lived refuge. I argue, however, that the dissonances between idealized and actually existing refuge point to the persistent presence of governance within refuge, rather than a lack or an absence of ‘true’ humanitarianism - i.e. a promise of freedom, betterment, and prospect that did not fully materialize. Instead, the state practices, which refugees are subject to within refuge, are enabled and normalized through the asymmetrical relationships between the state and the refugee. Third, calling attention to how Syrian refugees experience, articulate and locate war, I trouble prevailing geographical imaginations of “Europe” and Denmark as spaces of peace, safety, and prosperity. Drawing on Syrians’ experiences of war, I argue that attending to everyday experiences of war in refuge prompts a re-articulation of where war is, what counts as war, and who decides.

McAdam, Jane. "Seeking refuge in human rights : complementary protection in international refugee law." Thesis, University of Oxford, 2004. https://ora.ox.ac.uk/objects/uuid:7af99722-4987-414f-bed1-2bb8f097bf7c.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines complementary protection the protection afforded by States to persons who fall outside the legal definition of a refugee in article 1A(2) of the 1951 Refugee Convention, but who nonetheless have a need for international protection. Human rights law has extended States' international protection obligations beyond the Refugee Convention, preventing States from removing individuals who would be at risk of serious harm if returned to their countries of origin. While a number of States have traditionally respected these additional human rights obligations, they have been reluctant to grant beneficiaries a formal legal status analogous to that enjoyed by Convention refugees. By examining the human rights foundations of the Convention, the architecture of the Convention, regional examples of complementary protection, and principles of non-discrimination, the thesis argues that the Convention is a lex specialis for all persons in need of international protection a specialized blueprint of legal status, irrespective of the legal source of the protection obligation. Chapter 1 identifies pre-1951 examples of complementary protection, demonstrating how the content of the status afforded to extended categories of refugees was historically the same as that granted to 'legal' refugees. It traces unsuccessful attempts at the international and European levels to codify a system of complementary protection, prior to the EU's adoption of the Qualification Directive in 2004. The Qualification Directive, examined in Chapter 2, represents the first supranational codification of complementary protection, but is hampered by a hierarchical conceptualization of protection that grants a lesser status to beneficiaries of 'subsidiary protection' vis-à-vis Convention refugees. Chapters 3 to 5 examine the CAT, ECHR, ICCPR and CRC to identify provisions which may give rise to a claim for international protection, beyond article 3 CAT, article 3 ECHR and article 7 ICCPR. Finally, Chapter 6 illustrates why all persons protected by the principle of non-refoulement are entitled to the same legal status, demonstrating the function of the Convention as a lex specialis for all persons in need of international protection.

From every carving and dislodged mass, there is memory left in void. As refugees, the Rohingya resettling in the United States have been displaced out of time and place. This project proposal aims to reconnect persons to place and community. Surrounded on all sides by remnant chestnut oak forest, the "rock oak" of the Appalachian, this establishment of subsidized multi-family resettlement housing, a mosque, and a Rohingya cultural center serves as the rock foundation from which to stabilize the chaos of the unknown. While memory embraces cultural identity, growth embraces new connections - defining a platform of past and future. Roof farms and open circulation plans visualize the seasons. The cropped grass field opens between the three buildings on the complex. They face each other across a green field - conversing in rows of tall oaks and stone brick colonnades in a gradient of public to private space. Children race the setting sunlight down steps and a communal dinner is served. For these wanderers, this is the threshold of refuge.Master of Architecture

Full textAbstract:
This story cycle focuses on the members of the Ordoñez family of Castroville, California from the time of the first generation’s migration from Mexico in the 1950s to the most recent generation who moves out of the town in the 2000s. “The Ordoñez Pride” shows the entire family as they experience a miracle. Cecilia, the matriarch, receives a belated wedding ring that bursts into flame that doesn’t burn her, but everything else it comes into contact with. The flame also magically sparks hers and her husband’s sex life into overdrive and, late in life, they produce three more children, for a total of nine. Following this framing story, we see snapshots of all the other family members at life-changing moments. In “After the Revolution” we see Ray Ordoñez , the family patriarch, grow from a boy into a man, as he defends his sister from what he perceives to be the American ranch owner practicing the right to first night—a custom that was still practiced in rural Mexico in the twentieth century. Eventually, Ray migrates to California and begins his family, becomes assimilated into American culture, and reluctantly welcomes an American boy—his oldest daughter’s boyfriend—into his household.

On the other, it is a thesis about thinking architecture as a composition derived out of material properties, emotional intentions, inhabiting possibilities and counterpoint, the arrangement of differences through dialogue.Master of Architecture

As members of a collective whole, each of us, as a necessary event, must interact with others for our livelihood as well as the prosperity of society as a whole.
However, just as we are part of a collective whole, we are also solitary individuals. As such, we need places which do not express community values, but rather, affirm our own identity and offer security and separation from the public realm.
This thesis explores the historical precedents and generative principles for achieving refuge by varying the architectural character of spaces along a processional path to generate a subtle progression from the public to private domains. Following this, a design for a residence is presented which explores the potentials of the principles discovered.Master of Architecture

Principe de droit coutumier longtemps honoré, le droit de refuge n’est plus. Les catastrophes de l’« Erika » et du « Prestige », et entre les deux, le périple du « Castor », ont largement mis en lumière cette réalité. À l’origine de ce déclin, les progrès techniques. Certains ayant permis la sauvegarde des marins en perdition sans nécessiter le déroutement du navire vers un abri. D’autres ayant eu pour conséquence de rendre dangereux et polluants la navigation.Le phénomène dit de « lèpre maritime » fut la constante, la pratique adoptée par les États côtiers confrontés à des navires en difficulté susceptibles de porter atteinte à leurs intérêts. Décrit ainsi, le réflexe se perçoit comme légitime. Mais voilà, l’automatisme peut pousser à l’absurde alors que les progrès, encore eux mais a contrario cette fois-ci, permettent de mesurer et tempérer les risques et ainsi revenir vers la voie naturelle du refuge même en présence de navires potentiellement dangereux et/ou polluantsPrinciple of customary international law which was honored a long time, the right of refuge for ships in distress is in the present day eroded. The disasters of the « Erika » and the « Prestige », and between these two, the event of the « Castor », have largely emphasized this reality.At the origin of this decline, we found technical progresses. Some having permitted rescue of the sailors in distress without requiring the ship to be granted a safe haven. Others having had for consequence to make navigation dangerous and pollutant.The phenomenon known as of « maritime lepers » has been the constant, the practice adopted by the coastal States confronted with ships in distress likely to threaten their interests. Described in this manner, the reflex can be perceived like legitimate. But, the automatism can conduct to the absurdity whereas progresses, but a contrario this time, make possible to measure and moderate the risks and, in consequence, to return towards the natural way of the refuge even in the presence of potentially dangerous and/or polluting ships

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.

Although the provision of refuge has been much debated, the issues are under-researched as the establishment of the first refuge in Malaysia only took place in 1982.

Viewed qualitatively, Jay Appleton's prospect/refuge theory is intuitively attractive. Viewed quantitatively, can it be substantiated and is it useful? This study aims to substantiate the theory. Prospect/refuge theory is presented in context with other landscape theories all of which are based on a long tradition of gardening practice. A review of gardening practice and theory is followed by a review of empirical aesthetics and the landscape. The main part of the study. is the set of experiments developed to test certain predictions of prospect/refuge theory using a variety of experimental methods. The results of these experiments give support to Appleton's hypotheses and open the way for future research in prospect/refuge theory.

Louw, Kiegen. "How to Address the Inadequacies in the Protection of Transgender Female Refugees in Countries of Refuge?" Master's thesis, University of Cape Town, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/29344.
Full textAbstract:
Despite their prevalence in the global refugee system, the unique struggles faced by transgender female refugees in countries of refuge has remained silent. Although existing as places of refuge, host states have remained particularly hostile to these refugees. The term ‘transgender’ is still relatively new and this thesis aims to outline the plight of transgender female refugees through the various forms of violence directed against them. Thus, an extended definition of violence must be taken to be able to contemplate the ways in which the transgender woman is assaulted, whether that takes the form of physical, sexual, economic, or medical violence. Moreover, despite an international and regional legal system existing, which delineates the human rights of refugees across the globe, there still appears to be a disconnect between the law and the lived realities of the transgender female refugee. The law itself is no ally to the transgender women due to its inherent patriarchal nature; the transgender women is perceived as a threat to the existing patriarchal and heteronormative structures in place in society. Moreover, the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees was drafted at a time when the needs of transgender female refugees were not known and thus most of the existing international human rights instruments all pre-date the emergence of transgender rights. This disconnect is further fueled by the lack of hate crime in the international arena as a tool to enforce and protect transgender female refugees. Lastly, it was further seen that South Africa, as a country of refuge for African transgender refugees, provides a good example of ways in which the transgender woman can be assisted, such as through the development of Ubuntu and hate crime legislation.

ARTERO, MAURIZIO. "The city vis-à-vis forced migration: Milan between refuge and refuse at the time of the migration crisis." Doctoral thesis, Gran Sasso Science Institute, 2019. http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12571/9729.
Full textAbstract:
Forced migration has globally become a major challenge of our contemporary world. For
example, in Europe, where over four million people applied for asylum between 2013 and 2017,
forced migration has emerged as a battlefield between nation-states, to the point of jeopardizing
the future of the European Union. In North America, furthermore, the USA’s president Donald
Trump harshly targeted millions of illegalized migrants who reside within the country. But while
national governments have often embraced an anti-immigration spirit, by resorting to the
securitization of migration, local (mainly city) level instead has become increasingly prominent
and entrepreneurial in the field of migration governance and often expressed a different view
on this phenomenon. From Athens to New York, indeed, mayors of large cities and a big chunk
of their civil society have explicitly expressed their commitment to welcome migrants.
In this context, a notion previously ‘marginal’ in social sciences such as City of Refuge (and
similar ones, like Sanctuary City) has come out on top. City of Refuge is, indeed, an ‘umbrella
concept’ that originates from a new interpretation of Derrida’s notion of hospitality as well as
from a plethora of initiatives that North American cities have put in place to challenge the
national policies on migration in the last decades. However, albeit the first steps of this
‘movement’ have been taken in United States in the 1980s, actually it has increasingly become
an international phenomenon: broadly speaking this concept has been used to describe the
actions undertaken in cities and by cities with the idea to take direct responsibility for refugees’
reception and integration, in doing so decoupling local policies from national policies, and in a
context in which often such policies are enacted in an interplay with all kinds of trans-national,
vertical and horizontal networks.
The present dissertation aims to investigate the city of Milan. Indeed, Milan, historically one of
the top destinations of migrants in Italy, has recently been one of the main urban settings for
forced migration in Europe. During the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ and between 2013 and 2016
(way before the transit migration along the Balkans started), Milan has seen the passage of more
than 130,000 refugees, while the city’s reception centres have given assistance to thousands of
forced migrants in its premises. All this while the arrival, passage and settlement of migrants
have been welcomed and assisted by parts of the Milanese civil society and political elites, but
also rejected by residents and authorities.
Through a collection of three papers (and accompanying chapters), this dissertation attempts
to shed light on the different responses that the city of Milan has given to forced migration in
this last period. The research has developed by means of qualitative methodologies, from
ethnography-oriented participant observation to discursive interview, applied conveniently for
each paper. In particular, the first paper focuses on a part of the civil society that contributed to
the ‘welcome culture’ in Milan. The second paper, instead, examines the building up of ‘internal
borders’ on the part of national authorities that deployed bordering mechanisms at the locallevel. Finally, we will see the role taken by a particular form of space within the ‘welcoming
apparatus’ of the city, a drop-in centre, and its contribution to the circumventing of bordering
processes and to ‘opening’ mobility to migrants.
By accounting for different actors that weight in on the Milanese local migration governance and
looking at the negotiations, conflicts, settings and actors that impart hospitality or hostility to
forced migrants, this work argues that the city represents a site of opposing and different
pushes. Shaking off too simplistic reading of the city of refuge, here the city emerges as the arena
of migration policy, a space of negotiating practices that includes a multitude of actors,
influences and drives.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to get an enhanced understanding of why and how young Syrian refugee males in Jordan prepare for irregular travel to Europe. Through eight semi-structured interviews with Syrians in their 20s and 30s residing in Amman, and a conceptual framework of life plan, existential mobility and social network theory, this research hopefully enhances our understanding of the dynamic and uncertain process of onwards irregular refugee travel. I conclude that discrepancies between the narrative of self and the actual situation may trigger secondary migration, while the social capital inherent in the social network of an individual is essential in the preparation phase of onwards movement. Moreover, the results indicate that latent ties are use actively to assess the reliability of the large pool of information accessed through membership in social media networks.

Although the Ministry of Women and Vulnerable Populations has implemented various centers to deal with violence, there is no good design in what they propose as the Temporary Refuge Home (HRT), which is a center that welcomes women and children who do not have economic resources or a family to flee from violence. These HRTs are invisible and their infrastructure endangers the lives of the users. That is why I propose a change of perspective in relation to what is observed today and propose a refuge under the needs of the users, where protection is the main feature.

Full textAbstract:
La politique de réunion confessionnelle de Louis XIV et la résistance des huguenots entre Refuge et Désert : l’exemple de Claude Brousson (1647-1698)La France et les pays du Refuge huguenot de la deuxième moitié du XVIIe siècle sont marqués par la politique religieuse de Louis XIV. Cette thèse adopte une double perspective et vise d’un côté à décrire la politique de « réunion confessionnelle » du Roi-Soleil et de ses conseillers et de l’autre, à partir de l’exemple de Claude Brousson (1647-1698), la résistance des huguenots au Refuge et au sein du protestantisme clandestin. Du point de vue royal, la Révocation de l’Édit de Nantes de 1685 n’est qu’une étape dans le processus ayant pour objet de faire des « mauvais convertis » de bons catholiques. Les vingt dernières années du XVIIe siècle sont marquées par une politique d’obligation confessionnelle dont les effets se font sentir dans toutes les provinces, notamment en Languedoc. Brousson résiste à cette politique, d’abord en tant qu’avocat de la Chambre mi-partie, dans le contexte du projet de Toulouse, puis comme député des réfugiés en Suisse, dans l’Empire et aux Provinces-Unies et enfin dans son rôle de pasteur du Désert et d’organisateur de l’Église « sous la Croix ». Cette thèse s’appuie sur un grand nombre de sources imprimés et manuscrits conservés dans des bibliothèques et archives en France, Suisse, Allemagne, Angleterre et aux Pays-Bas Les sources sont d’une part des actes royaux, la correspondance des différents conseillers royaux et des « bons du Roi » qui témoignent de l’implication directe du Roi Très-Chrétien et d’autre part les écrits manuscrits et imprimés de Brousson, dont certains sont présentés et/ou analysés pour la première foisConfessional reunion politics of Louis XIV and the Huguenots resistance between Refuge and Desert using Claude Brousson (1647-1698) as an exampleIn the second half of the 17th century, France and the countries of the Huguenot Refuge are marked by Louis XIV’s religious policy. This Ph.D. attempts to describe this policy from a double perspective (top down and bottom up). On the one hand, it describes the king’s and royal consultant’s « confessionnal reunion » policy (top down) and on the other hand the Huguenots resistance in the Refuge and in the clandestine Church in France, using Claude Brousson (1647-1698) as an example (bottom up). The Revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) is from the king’s point of view just a stage on his way to help the « bad converted » (mauvais convertis) to become good Catholics. The last twenty years of the 17th century are characterized by a policy of confessionnal coercion and its consequences are to be observed in all provinces, especially in Languedoc. Brousson resists to this policy as an advocate, in the context of the Toulouse project, as a delegate of the refugees in Switzerland, the Empire and the United Provinces of the Netherlands and finally as a pastor of the Desert and as organizer of the Church “under the cross”. This Ph.D. uses a large number of printed and manuscript sources taken from libraries and archives in France, Switzerland, Netherlands, Germany and England. They are on the one hand royal laws, the correspondency of royal consultants and the bons du roi that show the implication of the king himself. On the other hand are used manuscript and printed writings of Brousson, some of his works are presented and/or analysed for the first time

Darling, Jonathan Mark. "Cities of refuge : asylum and the politics of hospitality." Thesis, Durham University, 2008. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/2228/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis draws upon ethnographic work in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, to interrogate asylum as a spatial experience. Arguing that the routine framing of asylum as either an issue of national securitisation or cosmopolitan and humanitarian ethics serves to overlook the visceral and prosaic practices of living asylum in contemporary Britain, this thesis develops an account of responding to asylum seekers through everyday life which is immersed in the tacit sociality, and spatiality, of the city. Through detailing the complex negotiations which emerge as asylum seekers encounter and create an array of spaces within the city, this thesis considers how accounts of sovereignty, welcome, charity and generosity are actively performed, worked upon and fractured within daily practices of hospitality. Here national accounts of 'domopolitics' and 'secure borders' intermingle and conflict with emergent modes of ethical sensibility, as individuals respond to asylum seekers through a series of shared spaces of encounter and accomplishment. Of central importance throughout these chapters is the need to take seriously both the unique and fragile experiences of space which form part of asylum as a lived experience, and the inherently negotiated, tentative and contextual nature of these spaces of asylum, riven as they are by differing visions of asylum, ethics and politics. Five chapters seek to document and approach these spaces of asylum as sites of affective belonging, and each draws together a range of accounts from social and political theory in order to engage with Sheffield's diverse politics of asylum. In doing so these chapters fuse a series of research encounters, engagements and events with an account of politics, ethics and social theory which is emergent from the contextual negotiations of the present. Achapter on Sheffield's past illustrates how national accounts of asylum as a begrudging act of welcome infuse the negotiations of the city with asylum seekers in the present. This is then counterposed in the following chapter by an account of Sheffield as a 'City of Sanctuary', built upon a micropolitics of cultural change and a recognition of the city's relational responsibilities. Three chapters then focus on specific spaces within the city. The first of these examines the spatial negotiations of two weekly drop-in centres for asylum seekers, suggesting that these may act as sites of ethical improvisation and tacit learning. The second extends these ethical developments into the public spaces of Sheffield, arguing that a minimal politics of access and 'small achievements' arises from the particular fusion of encounter, material and memory thrown up by being among others in the city. The third of these chapters considers the varied spaces of accommodation for asylum seekers in Sheffield, arguing that these act as key constraints on an affective connection to the city and to others. These chapters develop an account of asylum as a lived, practiced and felt experience not simply occurring in Sheffield, but occurring through Sheffield. Through these chapters I then develop a possible 'politics of becoming' for asylum seekers, grounded in the opportunity for mutual and generous encounters with others, a reassertion of sanctuary as a public good and a recognition of the relational responsibilities asylum as a spatial connection throws up.

This study is part of a multi-disciplinary research effort to better understand, document and optimize the operation of Rimer Alco North America’s Refuge One for the global mining industry. In this thesis, an experimental and numerical study of turbulent flow inside a Refuge One is undertaken to understand the flow characteristics through a Refuge One hopper, compare the predictive performance of five different turbulence models and optimize the flow through the Refuge One hopper to enhance its performance. The experimental study is performed using a particle image velocimetry technique for two Reynolds numbers 53,000 and 23,000, respectively. The numerical study is performed by solving the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations together with k-ε, RNG k-ε, k-ω, k-ω based SST and Reynolds stress turbulence models using the commercial CFD code CFX 15.0. Flow optimization is performed for hoppers by choosing different hopper height and wall shape configurations and their performances are evaluated.October 2016

Full textAbstract:
I studied selenium contamination at Cibola National Wildlife Refuge (Cibola NWR) in the lower Colorado River Valley, California and Arizona. My objectives were to: (1) determine whether local irrigation practices resulted in exposure of fish to toxic levels of selenium; (2) assess the risks to humans of consuming fish from Cibola NWR; (3) assess whether diversity and abundance of fish were related to selenium concentrations or other water quality variables. Water, sediment, fish, crayfish, and aquatic plants were collected from sites which received irrigation return flows and sites which did not. Selenium was below toxic levels at sites receiving irrigation return flows. Selenium was at the toxicity threshhold for fish at two sites receiving water directly from the Colorado River. Concentrations of selenium in fillets of largemouth bass (Micropterus salmoides) from one lake exceeded levels that elicit consumption advisories in California. Most people would be unlikely to consume toxic amounts of fish, but an advisory should be posted to inform people about potential risks. Gill nets were used to determine species diversity and abundance. There were no strong correlations between selenium levels and indices of species richness and equitability. There was a consistent inverse relationship between selenium levels and catch-per-unit-effort for all species combined. This inverse relationship suggested that selenium may be one of a suite of factors limiting abundance of fish. Correlations between indices of species diversity and abundance and values of water quality variables generally were not significant. Temperature and salinity may have limited abundance of some species seasonally. Increases in selenium levels at sites that are already at the toxicity threshhold could impair reproduction of sensitive species. Population declines and concern about edibility of fish could impair the recreational fishery. Therefore, site-specific ways to reduce selenium accumulation should be studied and implemented. Site-specific limnological conditions may play a role in accumulation of selenium to toxic levels, but major sources of selenium appear to be upstream in the Colorado River basin rather than local agricultural practices. Therefore, selenium input to the Colorado River from sources throughout the basin should be monitored and reduced where possible.

During 1991 and 1992, I studied environmental contamination of the aquatic communities at Imperial National Wildlife Refuge on the lower Colorado River. I collected composite samples of sediment, detritus, aufwuchs, aquatic plants, invertebrates, and fishes from 2 river sites, 5 backwater lakes, and 2 seepage lakes. Selenium concentrations (μg/g, dry weight) were elevated in sediment (geometric mean = 0.93, range = none detected (ND) to 4.1); detritus (4.50, 0.4-27.4); aufwuchs (4.85, 2.6-10.2); Najas marina (5.66, ND-21.0); Corbicula spp. (10.54, 5.8-26.5); Procambarus clarkii (7.70, 1.5-35.8); whole fishes (6.70, 1.6-17.2); and fish fillets (9.72, 5.8-22.6). Ninety-four percent of whole fishes and invertebrates (n = 185) contained concentrations of selenium that exceeded 3 μg/g, a concentration recommended by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect aquatic birds from chronic selenium toxicity. Biological samples from seepage lakes had significantly lower (p ≤ 0.05) selenium levels than similar samples from backwater lakes. Selenium is incorporated into plants in backwater lakes and enters consumers primarily through the detrital food web.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the Ballarat Female Refuge, the first such institution on the Australian goldfields, as a case study of the interrelationship between charity and power. Established in 1867 by a group of twenty-six Protestant women with the intention of reforming prostitutes, the Refuge became a shelter for single mothers. An analysis of its history over the period 1867 to 1921 highlights attitudes towards female sexuality, and demonstrates how moral authority was exercised through this highly-gendered institution. The thesis locates the Ballarat Female Refuge within both an international history of female refuges and the network of voluntary charities which developed in nineteenth-century Ballarat. It argues that such charities were influential in the consolidation of class barriers in the goldfields city. While they were founded as a result of both evangelical religious fervour and humanitarian concern, they sought to impose middleclass moral values on their inmates, simultaneously conferring status and prestige on their committee members The thesis analyses the Protestant Ballarat Female Refuge through an examination of its committee, staff and residents in order to identify aspects of both power and mutuality in the charity relationship. It also looks at the symbolic systems operating at the Refuge, in particular the meanings of the wall and the laundry in the processes of exclusion and reformation. Drawing on narrative, biographical, statistical and genealogical sources, it details the ways in which moral authority was exercised through the Ballarat Female Refuge.

O objetivo desta Dissertação é compreender o enfrentamento dos refugiados na cidade de São Paulo no que se relaciona ao acesso à moradia. Partindo das experiências ocorridas em São Paulo para o esforço de acolhida aos refugiados de diferentes nacionalidades, a moradia ainda não é uma questão de política pública, com lacunas para a garantia do seu acesso. Procurou-se analisar as estratégias de refugiados para garantir o acesso à moradia. Foram realizadas quatro entrevistas nos Centros de Acolhida e Casa de Passagem instaladas em São Paulo, assim como três entrevistas com dois indivíduos com o status de refugiado e um filho de um casal palestino, que articula a moradia em uma ocupação, no centro da cidade. Foi possível identificar os limites e possibilidades dos serviços de acolhimento a partir das falas dos entrevistados. As buscas individuais e a mobilização exercida pela rede de solidariedade construída entre os refugiados integram o cenário da dificuldade do direito de morar, marcada por um deslocamento forçado ocorrido no processo migratório.
The goal of this dissertation is to understand the confrontation of refugees in Sao Paulo s city in which relates to access to housing. Starting from the experiences that occurred in Sao Paulo for the effort of welcome for refugees of different nationalities, housing have not been a matter of public policy yet, with gaps for the guarantee of access. For this, it is necessary to identify the refugee s experiences in individual and collective models. Four interviews were carried out in the Reception centers and halfway house located in São Paulo and three interviews with two individuals with refugee status and a son of a Palestinian couple who articulates the residences in an occupation in the city center. It was possible to identify the limits and possibilities of the host services by the interviews. The individual searches and the mobilization network of solidarity built among the refugees make up the difficulty setting of the right to housing, marked by a forced displacement occurred in the migration process.

O presente texto tem como objetivo relatar o universo do refúgio na cidade do Rio de Janeiro; analisando os fatores socioeconômicos e culturais que permeiam o movimento de entrada e permanência dessa população no município. Aborda principalmente questões relativas aos direitos humanos, problematizando ao mesmo tempo, sua existência por vezes abstrata, fator que dificulta a inserção dos deslocados na sociedade, aumentando com isso, as fraturas existentes entre eles e o Estado-Nação. Fez-se uma tentativa no sentido de compreender quais os lugares ocupados pelos deslocados nessa nova territorialidade em que se privilegia o fim das limitações comerciais e econômicas, garantindo livre fluxo de capitais em detrimento do próprio fluxo da vida humana.
This text is intended to provide a report on the refuges universe in Rio de Janeiro by analyzing social, economic and cultural aspects which permeate the motion and permanence of this population. It approaches questions concerning the human rights, arguing at the same time its own existence, sometimes abstract, which makes difficult the social insertion of the refugees and increases the rupture between this social group and the state-nation. There was an attempt to understand the places occupied by the refugees in this new territoriality where the end of commercial and economic limitations and the free flow of capital is encouraged rather of the flow of human life.

Full textAbstract:
This is a qualitative study exploring the needs of women when residing in a refuge. In the context of the United Kingdom, women's refuges are a specialist provision that provide temporary accommodation for women escaping domestic violence and abuse (DVA). Recent literature that looks at the needs of women who reside in refuges is limited. However, considering these needs is important at a time when austerity measures have resulted in funding cuts to the DVA sector, which have had a direct impact on refuge service provision. This study contributes to the literature on women's refuge services, as they are the most likely specialist DVA service to be accessed, and are consequently in high demand. In this study, 35 participants took part in total. Within two research phases 32 residents across 6 refuges and 3 focus groups answered the first research question: What are the self-articulated needs of women in a refuge? Within the first phase a thematic analysis of the data from the first two focus groups identified six key themes: Accessing a refuge, Loss, To feel safe, Support, To move on, and To feel valued. Within the second research phase, a further focus group was conducted, the analysis of which is presented without decontextualising the content into themes, as it was felt to be important to represent the narrative structure of the documented accounts. The analysis of the material is presented by providing summaries demonstrating examples of the physical and emotional journeys that three women took to get to a refuge, and their subsequent needs upon arrival. In the third phase of the study, three semi-structured interviews were conducted with refuge staff members to answer the second research question: What do workers in a refuge setting perceive to be the needs of the residents? Thematic analysis of each interview identified 11 main themes, of which two themes per staff member were discussed. The final phase of the analysis process involved comparing and contrasting the salient findings that appeared similar or dissimilar across the data. Key emerging issues related to research question one identified the unexpected outcome addressing the needs of children and the helplessness felt by the mothers. Other issues discussed were the emotional challenges that accessing a refuge brought in terms of preparation, isolation, and location along with the importance of relational support in service delivery. In relation to research question two, key issues highlighted include the engagement of residents in support interventions and the impact that financial cuts have had on refuges. From a counselling psychology perspective, implications are identified for research and professional practice across a range of roles, from refuge personnel and funding commissioners to services that work alongside refuges, such as housing associations, local governments, and mental health professionals.

Full textAbstract:
Dans la culture contemporaine, Venise exerce une fascination hors du commun. Au XIXe siècle, elle est un des lieux d’élection des voyageurs. De 1830 à 1848, nombre d’écrits, textes référentiels ou œuvres de fiction, célèbrent la ville en même temps qu’ils exploitent son image. La « miraculosissima civitas » de Pétrarque offre un lieu et une Histoire singuliers, sources d’inspiration. Première ville du monde occidental, Venise est à la fois un symbole de liberté et de répression. Son urbanisme atypique, qu’accompagnent réminiscences artistiques ou légendaires, crée un sentiment hybride d’intense dépaysement et de familiarité. Tout naturellement, les valeurs du romantisme vont s’incarner dans cette ville. La République déchue, meurtrie par Napoléon, opprimée par l’Autriche, devient un espace de médiation qui fait écho aux préoccupations artistiques, politiques, morales ou religieuses des voyageurs français. Érigeant Venise en capitale du désenchantement, les artistes qui visitent la ville, à travers elle, expriment leurs hésitations, entre évasion et révolte. Sous le règne contesté de Louis-Philippe, entre deux révolutions, la ville apparaît comme un espace compensatoire, un refuge physique et intellectuel. La littérature produite s’échafaude sur constructions et déconstructions mythiques. Dans les récits de voyage - qui incluent dans notre perspective guides et mémoires – des motifs quasi identiques se répètent inlassablement. Non seulement ils manifestent une volonté de perpétuer la voix orphique du voyageur et la mémoire d’un lieu menacé de disparition, mais ils consacrent en outre Venise comme symbole de la finitude et de la condition humaines. Dans les œuvres de fiction, les mêmes thèmes et les mêmes éléments romanesques rythment des intrigues galvaudées : Venise abrite les mêmes amours malheureuses, les mêmes personnages, aristocrates ruinés et débauchés, gondoliers artistes et vertueux. Dans tous les cas, le besoin lyrique de décrire Venise apparaît irrépressible. Que les textes soient autobiographiques ou romanesques, la ville fait naître et entretient tout à la fois une aspiration au beau, voire au sublime, et une recherche utopique du bien, indissociable d’un dispositif urbain où s’incarne toute une organisation sociale. Venise offre ainsi la matière d’un renouvellement de la littérature de voyage, à partir de stéréotypes surexploités, fondés sur une saturation du sens et de la représentationFrom 1830 to 1848, a lot of pieces of wrinting celebrate Venice which seems to be a romantic refuge. The town compensates the political disappointments and the spriritual doubts of this period

As scientific understanding of the origin and order of coastal barrier islands continues to grow, designers are being forced to reevaluate their design strategies for the shore and near-shore areas. This project involves the design of an Environmental Research Laboratory on Back Bay, in the Back Bay National Wildlife Refuge. The problems and possibilities associated with building on the barrier islands have been analyzed. and design solutions applicable to this and other sites have been presented. In the final design, the structure has been located in the bay, shoreward of the barrier islands and elevated to permit sunlight and rainfall to pass as uninterrupted as possible to the areas below. The object of such design is to have a minimum effect on the landscape (or waterscape) below the building, while creating new green space above. All these characteristics are intended as positive results, able to transfer to other water or land sites.Master of Architecture

In 1959, the Bureau of Reclamation proposed a channelization project through the Cibola Valley along the Lower Colorado River. The project entailed rerouting the river through a dry cut in order to lower groundwater levels in the Palo Verde Irrigation District upstream, thereby improving irrigation drainage. In conjunction with this, Cibola National Wildlife Refuge was created in 1964 to mitigate the effects of habitat loss from the channelization project. Aerial photographs of the Cibola Valley were analyzed for 1959, and vegetation community types were determined. A vegetation type map was developed for 1959 and compared with vegetation type maps for 1976 and 1986. Between 1959 and 1986, a lowering of the water-surface level in some parts of the refuge resulted in the draining of some lakes and the creation of slow-moving backwaters. Cottonwood-willow and marsh communities saw a significant reduction in area while the salt-cedar community saw rapid growth.

Full textAbstract:
Nature Refuges encompass the second largest extent of protected area estate in Queensland. Major problems exist in the data capture, map presentation, data quality and integrity of these boundaries. The spatial accuracies/inaccuracies of the Nature Refuge administrative boundaries directly influence the ability to preserve valuable ecosystems by challenging negative environmental impacts on these properties. This research work is about supporting the Nature Refuge Programs efforts to secure Queensland’s natural and cultural values on private land by utilising GIS and its advanced functionalities. The research design organizes and enters Queensland’s Nature Refuge boundaries into a spatial environment. Survey quality data collection techniques such as the Global Positioning Systems (GPS) are investigated to capture Nature Refuge boundary information. Using the concepts of map communication GIS Cartography is utilised for the protected area plan design. New spatial datasets are generated facilitating the effectiveness of investigative data analysis. The geodatabase model developed by this study adds rich GIS behaviour providing the capability to store, query, and manipulate geographic information. It provides the ability to leverage data relationships and enforces topological integrity creating savings in customization and productivity. The final phase of the research design incorporates the advanced functions of ArcGIS. These functions facilitate building spatial system models. The geodatabase and process models developed by this research can be easily modified and the data relating to mining can be replaced by other negative environmental impacts affecting the Nature Refuges. Results of the research are presented as graphs and maps providing visual evidence supporting the usefulness of GIS as means for capturing, visualising and enhancing spatial quality and integrity of Nature Refuge boundaries.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as interações entre globalização e refúgio exemplificada pelo processo de reterritorialização dos refugiados congoleses na cidade do Rio de Janeiro. No trabalho tentaremos responder a seguinte questão: como se apresentam as interações entre globalização e refúgio a partir do exemplo do processo de reterritorialização dos refugiados congoleses na cidade do Rio de Janeiro? Procura-se analisar como a globalização e a questão dos refugiados estão relacionadas, tendo como marco a criação da Convenção de 1951 e do Protocolo de 1967 relativos ao Estatuto dos Refugiados. Em seguida, busca se analisar a política em relação aos refugiados adotada no Brasil, a partir da promulgação da Lei 9.474/1997 e a criação do Comitê Nacional para Refugiados. Estabelece-se a interação entre diferentes agentes e atores (órgãos estatais, organização internacional e instituições da sociedade civil e os refugiados) que estão envolvidos na criação e implementação de ações voltadas para a integração local de refugiados no Brasil e, mais especificamente, no Rio de Janeiro. Demonstra-se, a partir do caso específico dos congoleses em situação de refúgio no Rio de Janeiro, que a reterritorialização e a integração local dos refugiados no Brasil ocorrem a partir de estratégias criadas por diferentes agentes, destacando os próprios refugiados e, possibilitando, com isso, sua integração através de redes sociais locais.
This piece of work aims to analyse the interactions between the globalization and refuge as exemplified by the reterritorialization process of the Congolese refugees in the city of Rio de Janeiro. In this work we try to answer the following question: how do present the interactions between the globalization and the refuge onwards the example of the reterritorialization process of the Congolese refugees in the Rio de Janeiro city? We seek to analyse how the globalization and the issue of refugee are related, based on the 1951 Convention and the 1967 Protocol related to the Refugee Statute. Thereafter, we aim to analyse the Brazilian refugee politics adopted by Brazil, from the Law 9.474/1997 and the implementation of the National Committee for Refugees (CONARE). Is established the interaction between different agents and actors (governmental bodies, international organizations and institutions from civil society and the refugees) that are involved in the creation and implementation of practices related to local refugee integration in Brazil, and more specifically, in Ro de Janeiro. We demonstrate, from the specific case of the Congolese refugees in Rio de Janeiro, where the territorialisation and local integration of the refugees in Brazil happen through different strategies created by different agents, where refugees is being highlighted and where the integration becomes through local social networks.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore, describe, and explain how people (gbtlq identified persons in particular) experience gender and body in wilderness settings. The motivations for this research include: the current context of gender and gender oppression in American society; the potential of wilderness experiences to offer different ways of being and escape from social constrictions; and gaps in the literature on gender and wilderness. A qualitative/interpretive approach was employed for this research which encompasses aspects of phenomenology, feminist methodology, and grounded theory. The results and analysis for this study yielded an analytical story about ecological belonging which includes locating the self, awakening of the body, feelings of connectedness, wilderness as refuge from normative gender, vulnerability, and the wilderness setting. In this story, we find that participants can experience wilderness as a refuge from normative gender because wilderness is unpatrollable and because wild places can offer refuge from un-accepting people and judgment; and because wilderness is a sort of holding environment for freedom of expression and safety in change and transition. This study also shows how participants are able to experience a profound sense of connection and ecological belonging because they experience themselves as human animals; an experience which awakens ones sense of vulnerability. Connecting with our bodies, with our animal-selves, and feeling vulnerable as a human animal changes the potential for ecological belonging; it allows us feel our mortality and acknowledge that we are not at the top of the food chain. This research concludes by offering substantive and theoretical conclusions including recommendations for wilderness educators and managers; future research directions for gender and wilderness; and how wilderness experiences can inform ethical models for living in contemporary society. For instance, while the lessons wilderness offers may be infinitefrom this study we can at least discern that part of repairing the human relationship with nature means repairing our relationship with all oppressed Others whereby domination is justified through faulty presumptions of moral superiority. Imperative to this is experiencing ourselves as animals in an ecological system and recognizing the damage caused by the social structures that placate our wildness.

Full textAbstract:
Transport of oil or other hazardous substances by sea constitutes the backbone of the world economy. The fiscal benefits and dependence on the transport of oil and other substances by sea outweigh the dangers associated with the carriage of such substances by sea, especially the pollution of the marine environment. Although the absolute answer for the protection of the marine environment may be to prohibit the harm-producing activities altogether, and to turn to alternative energy-resources, it seems very unlikely that this will be the case in the near future.The feasible solution for the protection and preservation of the marine environment and safe marine transport calls for a liberal approach that redistributes these responsibilities amongst all the related interests. In this respect, this thesis examines the issue of places of refuge, as a measure to protect and preserve the marine environment, and the position in international law on the obligation to grant refuge to ships in distress. It is argued that the obligation to grant refuge, founded in early customary international law and denounced in current international documents, can be reformulated in an environmental context.
